1
00:00:01,167 --> 00:00:02,447
Previously on Castle...

2
00:00:02,471 --> 00:00:03,759
Oh, my God! You're proposing!

3
00:00:03,837 --> 00:00:05,498
Okay. You're surprised.

4
00:00:05,572 --> 00:00:06,903
- I got the job.
- In DC?

5
00:00:07,507 --> 00:00:09,202
Is this your case? What's it about?

6
00:00:09,309 --> 00:00:10,333
It's classified.

7
00:00:10,410 --> 00:00:12,776
Someone gained access
to Cybertech's clean room

8
00:00:12,846 --> 00:00:15,713
and stole a highly classified
hardware security module.

9
00:00:15,815 --> 00:00:17,214
What do we know about our thieves?

10
00:00:17,317 --> 00:00:20,878
Jack Bronson, 35.
Recently retired Marine Force Recon.

11
00:00:20,987 --> 00:00:22,215
We're gonna
walk over to my car together,

12
00:00:22,322 --> 00:00:23,346
and you're gonna get in
like you know me.

13
00:00:23,423 --> 00:00:25,254
You were at the golf course
with the Feds.

14
00:00:25,358 --> 00:00:28,156
Did they say
anything about Valkyrie?

15
00:00:28,995 --> 00:00:30,053
Hey, man, are you okay?

16
00:00:30,697 --> 00:00:33,689
Going to Dreamworld.

17
00:00:36,269 --> 00:00:37,395
Valkyrie?

18
00:00:37,504 --> 00:00:38,698
What's Valkyrie?

19
00:00:38,772 --> 00:00:41,263
Well, I don't know about Valkyrie.
But Dreamworld?

20
00:00:41,374 --> 00:00:43,899
It's a highly classified
special operations base in the Gulf.

21
00:00:44,010 --> 00:00:46,672
Beckett's into something
way bigger than she realizes.

22
00:00:46,746 --> 00:00:47,746
You don't understand.

23
00:00:47,847 --> 00:00:50,179
Jack was being set up.

24
00:00:50,250 --> 00:00:51,930
It turns out that
something else was stolen

25
00:00:51,954 --> 00:00:54,115
from another lab in that building.

26
00:00:55,088 --> 00:00:56,749
It was a chemical agent.

27
00:00:56,856 --> 00:01:00,917
That toxin was used
to kill Jack Bronson.

28
00:01:01,027 --> 00:01:04,019
It was placed
in the ventilation system of his car.

29
00:01:04,097 --> 00:01:05,530
I was in that car.

30
00:01:05,598 --> 00:01:07,532
Based on the amount
found in your bloodstream,

31
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,227
you have less than a day to live.

32
00:01:10,470 --> 00:01:12,734
What about an antidote?
There has to be an antidote.

33
00:01:13,706 --> 00:01:16,675
The only existing vial
was stolen with the toxin.

34
00:01:16,743 --> 00:01:18,574
They can make more, right?
They have to be able to make more.

35
00:01:18,645 --> 00:01:20,237
It would take too long to synthesize.

36
00:01:20,313 --> 00:01:21,905
- How long?
- A week.

37
00:01:22,882 --> 00:01:23,882
That's too long.

38
00:01:25,151 --> 00:01:26,778
Are you sure I was exposed?

39
00:01:27,754 --> 00:01:31,155
I mean, I feel fine.
Maybe they were wrong.

40
00:01:32,826 --> 00:01:35,056
Look, there's a doctor coming in
from Walter Reed.

41
00:01:35,128 --> 00:01:37,961
He's gonna be able to answer any other
questions that you might have.

42
00:01:38,064 --> 00:01:39,725
No, well, I think you already did that.

43
00:01:40,633 --> 00:01:41,657
Hey.

44
00:01:43,236 --> 00:01:44,999
We're gonna find
whoever's behind this.

45
00:01:45,105 --> 00:01:46,905
And when we do,
we're gonna get that antidote,

46
00:01:46,929 --> 00:01:50,490
'cause I'm not letting you out
of our engagement that easily.

47
00:01:51,945 --> 00:01:53,242
All right.

48
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,511
So, where are you in the investigation?

49
00:01:56,316 --> 00:01:57,977
We're looking into every possible lead.

50
00:01:58,485 --> 00:02:00,045
That's what you say
when you're nowhere.

51
00:02:01,020 --> 00:02:02,078
Castle.

52
00:02:02,422 --> 00:02:03,480
The guy who abducted me...

53
00:02:03,590 --> 00:02:05,080
- Yeah, Bronson.
- Right.

54
00:02:06,192 --> 00:02:07,659
Was he military? Special ops?

55
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,489
Marine Force Recon. Why?

56
00:02:09,596 --> 00:02:11,689
Okay, because before he died,
he said something.

57
00:02:11,798 --> 00:02:13,558
"Valkyrie," yeah.
We've been looking into it.

58
00:02:13,669 --> 00:02:14,989
There's nothing in the databases.

59
00:02:15,013 --> 00:02:16,013
Not that.

60
00:02:16,436 --> 00:02:18,870
He said something about Dreamworld.

61
00:02:18,972 --> 00:02:22,271
Now, I didn't think it was anything,
but according to Esposito,

62
00:02:22,342 --> 00:02:25,140
Dreamworld is the code name of
a special ops ghost base

63
00:02:25,211 --> 00:02:26,371
somewhere in the Middle East.

64
00:02:26,395 --> 00:02:29,144
And you think that that somehow
relates to the theft of the toxin?

65
00:02:29,215 --> 00:02:31,206
I think Bronson thought it did.

66
00:02:35,321 --> 00:02:39,052
Sorry to interrupt. I'm Dr. Goldberg,
here to check on Mr. Castle.

67
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:47,074



68
00:02:48,201 --> 00:02:49,862
How's he doing?

69
00:02:49,969 --> 00:02:51,903
Better than I am. Where are we?

70
00:02:52,005 --> 00:02:54,974
Well, we know whoever's behind this
framed Jack Bronson for the break-in,

71
00:02:55,041 --> 00:02:56,133
and then used the toxin to kill him.

72
00:02:56,209 --> 00:02:58,569
Which means they would've
had to have crossed paths with him

73
00:02:58,677 --> 00:02:59,701
in order to deliver it.

74
00:02:59,778 --> 00:03:03,174
Exactly. Hendricks and his team are
retracing all of Bronson's movements

75
00:03:03,249 --> 00:03:04,739
to get a who and a when.

76
00:03:04,851 --> 00:03:07,479
It's a needle in a haystack,
but maybe we'll get lucky.

77
00:03:07,554 --> 00:03:08,680
Anything on Valkyrie?

78
00:03:08,755 --> 00:03:11,883
Nothing that connects.
Analysts are still working on it, though.

79
00:03:13,059 --> 00:03:15,653
Have you ever heard of something
called Dreamworld?

80
00:03:16,563 --> 00:03:17,791
What's Dreamworld?

81
00:03:18,398 --> 00:03:20,263
The pralidoxime and atropine

82
00:03:20,333 --> 00:03:22,563
will stave off the effect of the toxin

83
00:03:23,269 --> 00:03:24,668
and buy you some more time.

84
00:03:25,738 --> 00:03:27,069
How much more?

85
00:03:27,540 --> 00:03:29,235
An hour, maybe two.

86
00:03:30,109 --> 00:03:31,940
I'll give you another shot
every four hours,

87
00:03:32,045 --> 00:03:34,673
but eventually, it won't be effective.

88
00:03:36,849 --> 00:03:38,282
And then what?

89
00:03:39,886 --> 00:03:42,116
Towards the end,
you'll start to feel weak,

90
00:03:42,222 --> 00:03:44,019
experience shortness of breath.

91
00:03:45,191 --> 00:03:47,625
Why did Bronson die so quickly
and I'm still alive?

92
00:03:47,727 --> 00:03:50,696
Bronson was in the car for hours,
so he got the mother lode.

93
00:03:50,763 --> 00:03:53,231
You were in the car
just for a few minutes.

94
00:03:53,299 --> 00:03:55,426
Ingested in liquid form,
you go down in seconds,

95
00:03:55,535 --> 00:03:57,594
but based on your blood work,

96
00:03:57,704 --> 00:03:59,968
you have at least another
10 to 12 hours.

97
00:04:01,641 --> 00:04:02,903
So, then,

98
00:04:03,910 --> 00:04:06,743
apart from the fact that I'm dying,
I'm fine.

99
00:04:08,481 --> 00:04:10,108
You're asymptomatic.

100
00:04:10,216 --> 00:04:13,049
I'll try to keep you that way
for as long as possible.

101
00:04:16,723 --> 00:04:18,554
A ghost base in the Middle East?

102
00:04:18,625 --> 00:04:19,956
Look, I know this is a long shot,

103
00:04:20,059 --> 00:04:22,340
but Bronson may have been trying
to communicate a message.

104
00:04:22,364 --> 00:04:24,594
Or it's just the ramblings
of a dying man.

105
00:04:24,831 --> 00:04:27,493
Look, we checked the government
and military databases.

106
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,592
There's no official reference
to Dreamworld, if it even exists.

107
00:04:30,670 --> 00:04:32,069
I think it exists.

108
00:04:32,138 --> 00:04:33,162
What did you find?

109
00:04:33,239 --> 00:04:35,366
A name just popped
in a Pentagon archive.

110
00:04:35,441 --> 00:04:38,274
Brad Parker, a reporter for
The Washington Union.

111
00:04:38,811 --> 00:04:40,642
What's a reporter got to do with this?

112
00:04:40,747 --> 00:04:45,309
Six months ago he tried to publish
an article called "Inside Dreamworld,"

113
00:04:45,418 --> 00:04:48,819
but it was quashed over
national security concerns.

114
00:04:48,921 --> 00:04:50,388
What does the article say?

115
00:04:50,456 --> 00:04:53,482
I don't have the text.
They've classified it. I have the title.

116
00:04:53,593 --> 00:04:56,926
I'll call my contact at the Pentagon
and see what he can dig up.

117
00:04:56,996 --> 00:04:58,725
In the meanwhile,
track down this reporter,

118
00:04:58,798 --> 00:05:00,129
find out what he knows.

119
00:05:00,233 --> 00:05:01,993
You could also check
Bronson's phone records.

120
00:05:02,001 --> 00:05:03,561
He and this reporter
might be connected.

121
00:05:03,603 --> 00:05:04,968
Castle, you should be resting.

122
00:05:05,071 --> 00:05:07,835
Well, there's plenty of time
for that later, apparently.

123
00:05:07,940 --> 00:05:09,700
If it's all the same,
I'd rather be helping.

124
00:05:09,742 --> 00:05:12,575
Mr. Castle, I understand your desire
to be involved, but you...

125
00:05:12,645 --> 00:05:15,113
No one is more motivated than me
to solve this.

126
00:05:15,181 --> 00:05:16,273
And if it doesn't work out,

127
00:05:16,349 --> 00:05:18,817
I'll be out of your hair
by the end of the day.

128
00:05:19,252 --> 00:05:20,732
You know, sir, Castle is the only one

129
00:05:20,787 --> 00:05:22,846
that has first-hand experience
with Bronson.

130
00:05:22,955 --> 00:05:24,252
He might be an asset.

131
00:05:28,227 --> 00:05:29,227
Okay.

132
00:05:29,295 --> 00:05:31,195
But, Agent Beckett,
he's your responsibility.

133
00:05:31,297 --> 00:05:32,992
I know.

134
00:05:33,099 --> 00:05:36,000
Sir, it looks like Bronson
and the reporter are connected.

135
00:05:36,102 --> 00:05:39,538
His phone records show calls
to and from The Washington Union

136
00:05:39,639 --> 00:05:41,239
around the time the article was written.

137
00:05:41,263 --> 00:05:43,168
Bronson must've been a source
for the article.

138
00:05:43,276 --> 00:05:45,506
Go. Find out what he knows.

139
00:05:45,578 --> 00:05:46,578
Uh, Mr. Castle.

140
00:05:47,146 --> 00:05:50,047
You can assist us,
but only from inside this building.

141
00:05:50,483 --> 00:05:51,780
Right.

142
00:06:06,232 --> 00:06:09,565
Look, uh, thanks for backing me up
with Castle.

143
00:06:09,669 --> 00:06:11,159
Is he always such a character?

144
00:06:11,237 --> 00:06:13,865
Yeah. It's one of the things that
I love about him, too.

145
00:06:17,477 --> 00:06:18,774
There.

146
00:06:20,580 --> 00:06:22,138
Mr. Parker!

147
00:06:22,215 --> 00:06:24,735
Mr. Parker, excuse me,
we're from the Attorney General's office.

148
00:06:24,759 --> 00:06:27,519
We need to ask you a few questions
about an article you wrote.

149
00:06:27,587 --> 00:06:29,418
Inside Dreamworld.

150
00:06:29,522 --> 00:06:31,012
Really? We're gonna do this again?

151
00:06:31,924 --> 00:06:33,221
You people are unbelievable.

152
00:06:33,326 --> 00:06:34,554
Excuse me?

153
00:06:34,660 --> 00:06:36,941
I wouldn't give up my sources
when you killed the article.

154
00:06:36,965 --> 00:06:38,220
So why would I give 'em up now?

155
00:06:38,331 --> 00:06:40,856
Because it looks like
one of your sources was murdered.

156
00:06:40,933 --> 00:06:42,924
Do you recognize him, Mr. Parker?

157
00:06:44,937 --> 00:06:46,234
Bronson.

158
00:06:47,206 --> 00:06:48,605
He was murdered?

159
00:06:48,708 --> 00:06:52,075
Yes. And now other people's lives
are at stake.

160
00:06:52,178 --> 00:06:54,669
Now tell us everything you know
about Dreamworld.

161
00:07:02,288 --> 00:07:04,968
First time
I heard about Dreamworld was in '03.

162
00:07:05,725 --> 00:07:08,523
I was serving with the 173rd
in Kandahar at the time.

163
00:07:08,628 --> 00:07:12,758
The story stuck with me, so, about
a year ago I started poking around.

164
00:07:13,533 --> 00:07:16,468
Found out it was a forward operating
base in northern Afghanistan.

165
00:07:17,570 --> 00:07:20,232
A launching pad for covert special ops
in the region.

166
00:07:21,441 --> 00:07:22,931
Did Bronson work at that base?

167
00:07:23,276 --> 00:07:24,368
Yeah.

168
00:07:24,977 --> 00:07:27,497
Yeah, I'd heard his name a couple
of times, so I approached him.

169
00:07:27,547 --> 00:07:29,105
And what'd he tell you?

170
00:07:29,949 --> 00:07:30,973
Nothing at all.

171
00:07:31,551 --> 00:07:35,146
In fact, he seemed pretty freaked out
that I knew he was stationed there.

172
00:07:36,722 --> 00:07:38,212
Asked me how much I knew.

173
00:07:39,258 --> 00:07:40,816
About him, Dreamworld.

174
00:07:41,961 --> 00:07:43,792
About what he'd done.

175
00:07:44,330 --> 00:07:46,730
Wait. What did he mean by that?

176
00:07:46,799 --> 00:07:48,323
He never told me.

177
00:07:48,901 --> 00:07:51,665
Whatever it was, he sure as hell
didn't want it getting out.

178
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,936
The next thing I know,
my editor's killing the story.

179
00:07:58,678 --> 00:08:01,738
At the personal request
of Defense Secretary Reed.

180
00:08:03,216 --> 00:08:05,016
These conversations that
you had with Bronson,

181
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,770
did he ever mention
the word "Valkyrie"?

182
00:08:08,387 --> 00:08:09,581
No, why? What's Valkyrie?

183
00:08:09,689 --> 00:08:15,184
Wait. The Secretary of Defense himself
called to kill the story?

184
00:08:15,761 --> 00:08:17,058
That's unusual.

185
00:08:17,129 --> 00:08:18,357
Try unheard of.

186
00:08:19,565 --> 00:08:22,125
But I'm guessing that the subject matter
struck a nerve.

187
00:08:22,602 --> 00:08:25,867
Look, prior to his appointment
as Secretary of Defense,

188
00:08:25,938 --> 00:08:30,034
General Reed was in charge
of Central Command,

189
00:08:30,109 --> 00:08:32,270
which ran all missions
out of Dreamworld.

190
00:08:32,378 --> 00:08:35,905
Are you suggesting that the Secretary
of Defense is hiding something?

191
00:08:35,982 --> 00:08:38,644
You have another explanation?

192
00:08:40,486 --> 00:08:44,513
So, a stolen military toxin
and a secret government base.

193
00:08:44,590 --> 00:08:46,310
I mean, what do you think
this is all about?

194
00:08:46,334 --> 00:08:48,716
I don't know,
but I have a feeling Bronson did.

195
00:08:48,794 --> 00:08:49,886
Where are we headed?

196
00:08:49,962 --> 00:08:53,489
To talk to the one person who might
actually know what's going on.

197
00:08:53,566 --> 00:08:57,297
The former commander of Dreamworld,
Defense Secretary Reed.

198
00:09:04,944 --> 00:09:05,968
Mr. Secretary.

199
00:09:06,078 --> 00:09:07,602
This must be damned important

200
00:09:07,680 --> 00:09:11,343
if the Attorney General's personally
asking me to take this meeting.

201
00:09:11,450 --> 00:09:12,576
It is.

202
00:09:12,652 --> 00:09:16,247
Three days ago, a lethal toxin was
stolen from a government lab.

203
00:09:16,322 --> 00:09:20,816
Our investigations led us to the murder
of an ex-marine named Jack Bronson.

204
00:09:20,927 --> 00:09:22,087
Do you know him?

205
00:09:22,161 --> 00:09:25,289
It's possible. A lot of men
served under my command.

206
00:09:25,364 --> 00:09:27,696
Why? You think he was involved
in this theft?

207
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:29,597
No. But he may have known who was.

208
00:09:29,669 --> 00:09:32,934
We believe that this is connected
to a military base named Dreamworld.

209
00:09:33,639 --> 00:09:36,870
Well, I hate to break it to you,
but Dreamworld's a myth.

210
00:09:36,943 --> 00:09:39,173
It's a military legend. It doesn't exist.

211
00:09:39,278 --> 00:09:40,973
Are you kidding me?
Are we actually gonna play this game?

212
00:09:41,047 --> 00:09:42,327
- Sir...
- Agent Beckett, was it?

213
00:09:42,348 --> 00:09:44,680
Whoever took that toxin, if they use it,

214
00:09:44,784 --> 00:09:46,513
there will be mass casualties.

215
00:09:46,619 --> 00:09:48,059
- So, if you know something...
- Sir!

216
00:09:48,955 --> 00:09:51,355
Someone was writing an article
about Dreamworld.

217
00:09:51,457 --> 00:09:55,052
You personally had that story killed.
Why?

218
00:09:55,328 --> 00:09:56,556
Why?

219
00:09:56,662 --> 00:09:59,495
Because the enemy reads newspapers,

220
00:09:59,565 --> 00:10:02,898
and there's no way in hell I'm gonna risk
American lives

221
00:10:02,969 --> 00:10:07,668
by handing out operational details
about a special ops base.

222
00:10:07,807 --> 00:10:09,672
If such a base existed.

223
00:10:09,742 --> 00:10:10,868
What about Bronson?

224
00:10:11,711 --> 00:10:14,009
What's his connection to that base?

225
00:10:14,547 --> 00:10:17,243
If it indeed does exist.

226
00:10:29,362 --> 00:10:33,822
Everything I'm about to say
is off the books, are we clear?

227
00:10:33,899 --> 00:10:35,764
Yes.

228
00:10:37,570 --> 00:10:41,006
Bronson was an outstanding Marine.

229
00:10:41,073 --> 00:10:43,769
But he only worked one mission
out of there.

230
00:10:43,876 --> 00:10:45,776
A high-value air strike in Jalalabad

231
00:10:45,878 --> 00:10:49,405
that took out Anwar Zawari,
Al-Qaeda's number two.

232
00:10:49,515 --> 00:10:51,745
What was Bronson's role?

233
00:10:51,851 --> 00:10:55,252
He was our man on the ground,
set up in a nearby building.

234
00:10:55,354 --> 00:10:58,221
He reported
when Zawari went in the house.

235
00:10:58,557 --> 00:11:01,219
Then, when the air strike was launched,

236
00:11:01,293 --> 00:11:03,625
he painted the house with a laser
to guide the missile.

237
00:11:03,729 --> 00:11:06,289
Did the word "Valkyrie" have anything
to do with this strike?

238
00:11:06,432 --> 00:11:09,560
Was it the name of a mission,
or a code name?

239
00:11:10,603 --> 00:11:13,094
No. It's not familiar.

240
00:11:13,205 --> 00:11:16,641
Look, that operation
was a big win for us.

241
00:11:16,742 --> 00:11:20,542
It crippled Al-Qaeda's
entire command structure.

242
00:11:20,613 --> 00:11:23,639
Was there any talk
of Al-Qaeda retaliating?

243
00:11:23,749 --> 00:11:26,081
There was chatter. Always is.

244
00:11:26,152 --> 00:11:29,918
But we took out Zawari a year ago,
and they never hit us back.

245
00:11:30,923 --> 00:11:32,322
Unless they just did.

246
00:11:32,425 --> 00:11:34,393
And this is just the beginning.

247
00:11:35,728 --> 00:11:38,561
I have Homeland tightening security
at every likely D.C. Target.

248
00:11:38,631 --> 00:11:41,293
Government buildings,
tourist attractions, transit hubs.

249
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,265
The bad news is the toxin's versatile.

250
00:11:43,335 --> 00:11:45,098
It could be deployed
through the ventilation system,

251
00:11:45,171 --> 00:11:46,491
it could contaminate a reservoir,

252
00:11:46,505 --> 00:11:48,097
it can be detonated with a bomb

253
00:11:48,174 --> 00:11:51,007
and release a toxic plume
over part of the city.

254
00:11:51,110 --> 00:11:52,550
And if that happens, we'd be dealing

255
00:11:52,611 --> 00:11:54,909
with a lot more than just a couple
of deaths on our hands,

256
00:11:55,848 --> 00:11:57,577
and I am so sorry.

257
00:11:57,650 --> 00:11:59,777
No, it's your job.

258
00:11:59,852 --> 00:12:02,052
And if we stop the next attack,
it might mean saving me.

259
00:12:02,855 --> 00:12:06,018
But if this is Al-Qaeda retaliation,
how did they know about Bronson?

260
00:12:06,125 --> 00:12:07,854
He was on the ground
during the air strike.

261
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,929
He might've been seen by locals
or Zawari family members.

262
00:12:10,996 --> 00:12:13,123
Well, let's check for any
Zawari family members,

263
00:12:13,199 --> 00:12:15,190
friends or associates in the D.C. Area.

264
00:12:15,301 --> 00:12:19,032
If Al-Qaeda is about to strike,
they must have people on the ground.

265
00:12:23,509 --> 00:12:25,443
I'll be in the Tech room.

266
00:12:28,114 --> 00:12:29,308
- Look...
- I'm okay.

267
00:12:32,985 --> 00:12:34,316
It's my mother.

268
00:12:34,386 --> 00:12:36,667
She's been calling all morning.
I can't avoid her forever.

269
00:12:36,691 --> 00:12:37,691
Okay.

270
00:12:38,791 --> 00:12:40,986
Hello, Mother.
To what do I owe the pleasure?

271
00:12:41,093 --> 00:12:44,426
Richard, you were ushered out of here
last night like a common criminal.

272
00:12:44,497 --> 00:12:46,988
You don't answer my calls.
What the hell is going on?

273
00:12:47,099 --> 00:12:48,999
No, Mother, I'm fine.

274
00:12:49,101 --> 00:12:51,695
Dad, did they arrest you?
Do you need us to bail you out?

275
00:12:52,438 --> 00:12:55,805
What about a lawyer, Mr. C?
I know a guy at the ACLU.

276
00:12:55,875 --> 00:12:57,137
Oh, please.

277
00:12:57,209 --> 00:12:58,209
No.

278
00:12:58,778 --> 00:13:02,874
Uh, I just had some special knowledge
of a case that Beckett's working on.

279
00:13:02,982 --> 00:13:05,109
She had them send an escort, that's all.

280
00:13:05,251 --> 00:13:07,981
Oh, well, thank God.

281
00:13:08,053 --> 00:13:09,373
Um, oh, Gina called this morning.

282
00:13:09,388 --> 00:13:14,018
She has a bunch of books for you
to sign for some company VIPs.

283
00:13:14,126 --> 00:13:18,222
Right. They're in my office,
at the back bookcase.

284
00:13:21,133 --> 00:13:24,159
If I'm not there tomorrow,
she can come pick them up.

285
00:13:24,970 --> 00:13:26,335
And, Mother,

286
00:13:28,340 --> 00:13:29,340
thank you.

287
00:13:30,709 --> 00:13:32,404
When's he coming back?

288
00:13:33,579 --> 00:13:34,739
Let me talk to Alexis.

289
00:13:34,847 --> 00:13:36,371
He wants to talk to you, honey.

290
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:42,685
Hey, Dad.

291
00:13:42,755 --> 00:13:44,355
Hopefully, I'll be back
tomorrow morning.

292
00:13:44,790 --> 00:13:46,621
And, um...

293
00:13:47,259 --> 00:13:48,499
And you know I love you, right?

294
00:13:49,328 --> 00:13:50,556
Of course.

295
00:13:52,832 --> 00:13:54,432
It's time for your next shot.

296
00:13:54,456 --> 00:13:55,855
Already?

297
00:13:56,335 --> 00:13:59,133
Dad? Everything okay?

298
00:14:00,039 --> 00:14:03,839
Yeah. They're calling me,
so I have to go.

299
00:14:05,578 --> 00:14:08,274
Okay. See you tomorrow.

300
00:14:09,715 --> 00:14:11,580
Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow.

301
00:14:19,425 --> 00:14:21,290
Did Dad sound weird to you?

302
00:14:25,798 --> 00:14:27,158
Sir, we've got something.

303
00:14:27,182 --> 00:14:29,059
Turns out you were right
about Zawari's family.

304
00:14:29,134 --> 00:14:32,695
We identified six members
of his extended family living in the U.S.

305
00:14:32,771 --> 00:14:36,104
Four in California, and two cousins
right here in D.C.

306
00:14:36,208 --> 00:14:39,075
We were in the process of running
them down when Hendricks found this.

307
00:14:39,144 --> 00:14:41,624
Yeah, in reconstructing Bronson's
movements prior to his death,

308
00:14:41,714 --> 00:14:45,946
we were able to track him to here,
a coffee shop in Dupont Circle.

309
00:14:46,051 --> 00:14:50,715
A few seconds after he leaves,
this man follows him out.

310
00:14:51,056 --> 00:14:55,925
We've ID'd him as Waqas Rasheed,
second cousin to Zawari.

311
00:14:55,995 --> 00:14:58,276
And Agent Richmond
is trying to track him down.

312
00:14:58,330 --> 00:15:01,629
But here's what we know.
He has dual U.S. -Afghan citizenship,

313
00:15:01,734 --> 00:15:04,100
is a graduate engineering student
at Georgetown.

314
00:15:04,169 --> 00:15:08,105
And, sir, he was in Jalalabad
the night of the Zawari air strike.

315
00:15:08,173 --> 00:15:11,108
Five of his other cousins
were killed in the attack.

316
00:15:11,176 --> 00:15:13,906
Burying that many family members,
that could radicalize anyone.

317
00:15:13,979 --> 00:15:15,173
Got him.

318
00:15:15,281 --> 00:15:16,521
We got him. We have a live feed

319
00:15:16,615 --> 00:15:20,016
of Rasheed walking east
on 14th Street, between E and F.

320
00:15:21,253 --> 00:15:23,278
- Backpack.
- Could be the toxin.

321
00:15:23,355 --> 00:15:24,635
- And the antidote.
- Let's move!

322
00:15:35,100 --> 00:15:36,829
Stop!

323
00:15:39,038 --> 00:15:40,528
Federal agents, stop!

324
00:15:50,849 --> 00:15:51,849
It's not here.

325
00:15:53,218 --> 00:15:56,517
Where's the toxin?
Rasheed, where's the toxin?

326
00:16:01,226 --> 00:16:02,506
What if he doesn't talk?

327
00:16:02,530 --> 00:16:04,054
He'll talk. They always do.

328
00:16:04,563 --> 00:16:06,190
What if he doesn't talk in time?

329
00:16:06,298 --> 00:16:08,493
We have teams combing his apartment.

330
00:16:08,567 --> 00:16:11,502
If he has the toxin and the antidote,
they'll find 'em.

331
00:16:12,504 --> 00:16:14,870
Thanks. For letting me be a part of this.

332
00:16:16,475 --> 00:16:17,908
When you write your next novel,

333
00:16:18,010 --> 00:16:21,639
maybe you'll find a place for a dashing
Colombian-American federal agent.

334
00:16:21,714 --> 00:16:23,545
Consider it done.

335
00:16:24,216 --> 00:16:25,911
Anything at Rasheed's?

336
00:16:26,018 --> 00:16:27,542
We went over every inch of his place,

337
00:16:27,653 --> 00:16:30,747
and there is no sign of the antidote
or the toxin.

338
00:16:31,523 --> 00:16:32,888
He may have hidden it somewhere...

339
00:16:32,992 --> 00:16:37,156
Either that, or it's already out there,
ready to be deployed.

340
00:16:43,135 --> 00:16:44,159
Break him.

341
00:16:50,709 --> 00:16:53,837
So, why am I here?
What's this about, huh?

342
00:16:54,513 --> 00:16:57,744
You're related to Anwar Zawari.
Is that correct?

343
00:16:59,218 --> 00:17:01,049
A man doesn't choose his family, okay?

344
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,714
I had nothing to do with Anwar
or his beliefs.

345
00:17:03,789 --> 00:17:06,019
Yet you were in Jalalabad
the night that he died.

346
00:17:06,091 --> 00:17:09,117
Yes, but not to see him.
I have relatives there.

347
00:17:09,728 --> 00:17:11,593
I was spending time with them
for Ramadan.

348
00:17:11,697 --> 00:17:15,189
I understand that five of your relatives
were killed in that U.S. Missile strike.

349
00:17:15,267 --> 00:17:18,862
And for that I blame Anwar,
and them for being with him.

350
00:17:19,538 --> 00:17:20,869
Now, why am I here?

351
00:17:21,540 --> 00:17:23,064
You studied engineering.

352
00:17:23,142 --> 00:17:26,543
Specifically, electrical system designs
for commercial buildings.

353
00:17:28,580 --> 00:17:31,708
You have a gift for making every fact
sound sinister.

354
00:17:31,784 --> 00:17:34,548
Well, you'd be able to break into
a secure facility.

355
00:17:34,620 --> 00:17:36,281
I didn't break into anything.

356
00:17:38,490 --> 00:17:41,823
I want an attorney.
I have a right to an attorney.

357
00:17:41,894 --> 00:17:44,795
Enemy combatants don't get attorneys.
Or trials.

358
00:17:44,897 --> 00:17:46,922
Where is the toxin, Rasheed?

359
00:17:46,999 --> 00:17:48,830
I don't know what you're talking about.

360
00:17:48,934 --> 00:17:51,061
I think you do. In fact, I know you do.

361
00:17:51,136 --> 00:17:53,604
This is Jack Bronson,
former U.S. Marine.

362
00:17:53,672 --> 00:17:56,140
He was in Jalalabad
the night of the strike.

363
00:17:56,241 --> 00:18:00,769
And this is you,
following him outside of a coffee shop.

364
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:02,811
Three hours later, he was dead.

365
00:18:02,915 --> 00:18:05,008
You're not gonna tell me that
that's a coincidence.

366
00:18:11,290 --> 00:18:12,348
This is about him?

367
00:18:15,627 --> 00:18:16,992
Well, you have it wrong.

368
00:18:20,666 --> 00:18:22,156
I wasn't following him.

369
00:18:23,435 --> 00:18:24,561
He was following me.

370
00:18:26,605 --> 00:18:28,402
Why would he be following you?

371
00:18:28,474 --> 00:18:31,136
He wanted to know if
I had talked to anybody.

372
00:18:32,644 --> 00:18:33,770
About our secret.

373
00:18:34,746 --> 00:18:36,270
Your secret?

374
00:18:37,082 --> 00:18:38,845
What secret?

375
00:18:42,454 --> 00:18:45,582
The night of the missile strike,
I was at my brother's home,

376
00:18:46,325 --> 00:18:48,156
just a block away from Anwar's.

377
00:18:48,260 --> 00:18:50,990
I heard the explosion. I ran out.

378
00:18:52,297 --> 00:18:53,787
The house was destroyed.

379
00:18:54,933 --> 00:18:56,133
And I was the first one there,

380
00:18:56,157 --> 00:18:58,648
so I wanted to see
if there were any survivors.

381
00:19:02,608 --> 00:19:05,372
And that's when I saw Bronson,
standing there in the rubble,

382
00:19:05,477 --> 00:19:06,671
holding a body.

383
00:19:07,846 --> 00:19:09,108
Whose body?

384
00:19:09,181 --> 00:19:12,708
A young woman.
One of the servants in the house.

385
00:19:13,619 --> 00:19:14,984
And when he saw me,

386
00:19:15,787 --> 00:19:17,152
he drew his gun.

387
00:19:20,058 --> 00:19:22,117
And I thought, for sure,
I was a dead man.

388
00:19:22,194 --> 00:19:24,162
But then he spoke.

389
00:19:25,531 --> 00:19:30,332
And he knew my name,
and where I lived, and what I did.

390
00:19:30,402 --> 00:19:35,135
And he told me that if I told anyone
about what I had seen, he would kill me.

391
00:19:38,243 --> 00:19:39,540
And then he left.

392
00:19:41,180 --> 00:19:42,670
With the body.

393
00:19:44,183 --> 00:19:47,516
He took away a dead servant's body?

394
00:19:48,187 --> 00:19:50,917
Look, I've done my best
to forget about it all.

395
00:19:51,023 --> 00:19:53,685
Until he found me in the coffee shop,
and he kept asking me,

396
00:19:53,759 --> 00:19:55,599
"Who did you tell?
Why are they setting me up?"

397
00:19:55,623 --> 00:19:57,995
And I swore to him I didn't tell anybody.

398
00:19:58,063 --> 00:20:01,396
Okay, whatever is happening here,
whatever is going on,

399
00:20:01,500 --> 00:20:03,730
I swear to you,
I have nothing to do with it.

400
00:20:03,835 --> 00:20:05,564
So, none of the intelligence agencies

401
00:20:05,671 --> 00:20:08,936
can link Rasheed
to known Al-Qaeda elements.

402
00:20:11,210 --> 00:20:13,450
And he's got a solid alibi
for the night of the break-in.

403
00:20:14,213 --> 00:20:16,443
He could still be involved.

404
00:20:16,548 --> 00:20:19,381
Is there any chatter
about an imminent attack?

405
00:20:19,451 --> 00:20:20,713
No more than usual.

406
00:20:20,786 --> 00:20:22,378
What's your take on Rasheed?

407
00:20:23,956 --> 00:20:25,446
I don't think he's our guy.

408
00:20:25,557 --> 00:20:27,081
Based on?

409
00:20:27,192 --> 00:20:31,424
His story. I mean, he said that he saw
Bronson carrying a servant girl's body?

410
00:20:31,530 --> 00:20:35,261
I mean, the only way that he'd come up
with a story like that was if it was true.

411
00:20:35,767 --> 00:20:37,428
So, aside from the name Valkyrie,

412
00:20:37,536 --> 00:20:40,869
which no one we've spoken to
seems to know anything about,

413
00:20:40,939 --> 00:20:42,372
we pretty much have nothing.

414
00:20:42,808 --> 00:20:44,708
Which means I'm a dead man.

415
00:20:44,776 --> 00:20:47,074
No, Castle. Not nothing.

416
00:20:47,145 --> 00:20:49,613
We have what Bronson told you,
what Rasheed told us.

417
00:20:49,715 --> 00:20:51,955
We know that this revolves around
something that happened

418
00:20:51,979 --> 00:20:53,944
the night Zawari was killed.

419
00:20:54,052 --> 00:20:56,247
Something more than just the air strike.

420
00:20:56,321 --> 00:20:58,448
Now, what we have to do
is figure out what it was.

421
00:20:58,557 --> 00:21:00,616
I'll have D.O.D. Send over
the mission documents.

422
00:21:00,726 --> 00:21:02,751
Maybe something in there
will help shed some light.

423
00:21:10,168 --> 00:21:12,500
These are
the mission documents?

424
00:21:12,604 --> 00:21:15,095
Is there even a sentence that
doesn't have redactions?

425
00:21:15,173 --> 00:21:16,640
Not a complete one.

426
00:21:16,742 --> 00:21:19,336
Somebody is definitely trying to hide
whatever went on here.

427
00:21:19,444 --> 00:21:22,971
I'm sorry, Castle. This is pointless.

428
00:21:23,081 --> 00:21:24,844
Can you do a word search
for "Valkyrie"?

429
00:21:30,322 --> 00:21:33,018
It doesn't appear in the document.
Probably because it was redacted.

430
00:21:33,125 --> 00:21:37,027
Right, but what about a search for
blacked-out, eight-letter words

431
00:21:37,129 --> 00:21:39,427
the same length as Valkyrie?

432
00:21:39,498 --> 00:21:42,490
Aren't all eight-letter words
the same length?

433
00:21:42,601 --> 00:21:44,561
Well, not in a proportional font
like Times Roman.

434
00:21:45,637 --> 00:21:48,265
Um, each character will vary in size

435
00:21:48,340 --> 00:21:53,300
from the narrowest, lower case "i,"
to the widest, the upper case "W."

436
00:21:53,378 --> 00:21:55,846
So the combination of letters
in the word "Valkyrie"

437
00:21:55,947 --> 00:22:00,179
will create a very specific length,
not unlike a typographical fingerprint.

438
00:22:00,285 --> 00:22:01,980
I may be able to work with that.

439
00:22:02,054 --> 00:22:03,715
If we could find
the blacked-out Valkyrie,

440
00:22:03,789 --> 00:22:06,087
we might be able to figure out
what it means from the words around it.

441
00:22:06,158 --> 00:22:07,352
It's a long shot, I know.

442
00:22:07,459 --> 00:22:09,154
Not that long.
We got some hits.

443
00:22:09,227 --> 00:22:11,821
These are thumbnails
of the whole document.

444
00:22:11,897 --> 00:22:13,865
It's everywhere, highlighted in red.

445
00:22:13,965 --> 00:22:16,085
The last page seems to have
the largest concentration.

446
00:22:16,109 --> 00:22:17,167
Can you enlarge it?

447
00:22:19,571 --> 00:22:23,667
"Target acquired." "Missile engaged."
"Target destroyed."

448
00:22:24,509 --> 00:22:26,568
This is the transcript
to the missile strike.

449
00:22:26,678 --> 00:22:28,578
Maybe Valkyrie was
the code name for Zawari.

450
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:30,040
No, it's got to be more than that.

451
00:22:30,064 --> 00:22:32,816
But there's not enough context to
piece this thing together.

452
00:22:32,884 --> 00:22:35,182
What we need
is an UN-redacted transcript.

453
00:22:37,155 --> 00:22:38,918
Or the original audio recording.

454
00:22:39,891 --> 00:22:41,222
What are you thinking, Richmond?

455
00:22:41,993 --> 00:22:43,187
For a strike in Jalalabad,

456
00:22:43,261 --> 00:22:46,389
they'd probably use an F-16
out of Bagram Air Base.

457
00:22:47,366 --> 00:22:49,891
I did a year as Chief Technical Officer
at Bagram.

458
00:22:50,001 --> 00:22:51,434
Part of my job was

459
00:22:51,536 --> 00:22:54,994
dumping in the fighter jets' flight data
onto a central server.

460
00:22:56,108 --> 00:22:59,407
If I can access it,
I might be able to get that audio.

461
00:23:00,078 --> 00:23:01,511
What are we waiting for, McCord?

462
00:23:01,580 --> 00:23:03,878
We played by the rules.
And that's what they gave us.

463
00:23:09,521 --> 00:23:10,545
Do it.

464
00:23:16,928 --> 00:23:20,022
Castle, it's your mom.
What do you want me to tell her?

465
00:23:25,637 --> 00:23:27,918
You've reached the voicemail
of Special Agent Kate Beckett

466
00:23:27,942 --> 00:23:31,275
at the Attorney General's office.
Please leave a message.

467
00:23:34,613 --> 00:23:37,878
I just always thought that you and I
would have kids together.

468
00:23:37,949 --> 00:23:39,917
Really? Well, have you talked to Jenny
about this?

469
00:23:39,985 --> 00:23:41,111
Hell, you know what I mean.

470
00:23:41,219 --> 00:23:43,551
They'd be on the same tee ball
and Pop Warner teams.

471
00:23:43,622 --> 00:23:44,953
- We'd co-coach.
- Co-coach?

472
00:23:45,056 --> 00:23:46,376
- You wanna be head coach?
- Yeah.

473
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,197
- Try getting a date first.
- Dude.

474
00:23:49,060 --> 00:23:51,722
Hey, Martha. What brings you here?

475
00:23:51,797 --> 00:23:55,062
Look, I know you're busy,
but I'm worried about Richard.

476
00:23:55,133 --> 00:23:56,191
Really? Why?

477
00:23:56,268 --> 00:24:00,170
Last night he was just whisked away
by a couple of federal agent thugs.

478
00:24:00,238 --> 00:24:02,172
Then when I talked to him today,

479
00:24:02,274 --> 00:24:05,471
he was nice, sincere,
no smart-ass quips.

480
00:24:05,577 --> 00:24:08,171
So, something is definitely wrong.

481
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,441
And Katherine isn't answering my calls.

482
00:24:12,284 --> 00:24:14,013
Well, I'm sure there's an explanation.

483
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:15,848
And I need you to find out what it is.

484
00:24:16,922 --> 00:24:18,480
Any trouble breathing?

485
00:24:18,757 --> 00:24:21,351
Yeah, but I think that's just anxiety.

486
00:24:22,461 --> 00:24:24,156
- I can get you a sedative.
- No.

487
00:24:24,596 --> 00:24:27,156
Thank you. But I think I'd rather
stay sharp as long as possible.

488
00:24:27,666 --> 00:24:29,497
Oh, sorry.

489
00:24:29,601 --> 00:24:31,535
No. No problem. We're all done here.

490
00:24:33,338 --> 00:24:34,635
You want a coffee?

491
00:24:34,706 --> 00:24:37,470
No, I'd rather die
than drink any more of that sludge.

492
00:24:37,676 --> 00:24:38,768
Oh.

493
00:24:38,844 --> 00:24:39,868
Too soon?

494
00:24:43,482 --> 00:24:45,313
Agent McCord,
can I ask you a question?

495
00:24:45,984 --> 00:24:47,349
Yep.

496
00:24:48,820 --> 00:24:50,617
How is she doing here?

497
00:24:50,689 --> 00:24:53,988
Beckett? She's good.
She has a lot of potential.

498
00:24:56,127 --> 00:24:57,185
So, she'll be okay.

499
00:24:58,497 --> 00:24:59,657
Hey.

500
00:25:00,365 --> 00:25:02,128
She's gonna be great.

501
00:25:04,369 --> 00:25:06,837
Hey, McCord. I'm in.

502
00:25:06,905 --> 00:25:09,669
I cross-referenced the flight recording
database at Bagram

503
00:25:09,741 --> 00:25:12,141
with parameters
from the mission documents.

504
00:25:12,210 --> 00:25:14,075
If that information was accurate,

505
00:25:14,179 --> 00:25:17,148
this should be audio
of the Zawari strike.

506
00:25:18,016 --> 00:25:19,916
Alpha One,
Eagle's contact target.

507
00:25:20,018 --> 00:25:22,179
Copy, Eagle.
Omaha, what's your status? Over.

508
00:25:22,687 --> 00:25:24,518
That's Defense Secretary Reed.

509
00:25:24,589 --> 00:25:26,853
As theater commander,
he'd be running the operation.

510
00:25:26,925 --> 00:25:28,925
Alpha One,
Valkyrie's still inside target.

511
00:25:28,994 --> 00:25:32,657
That's Bronson's voice.
So, Valkyrie must be Zawari.

512
00:25:33,331 --> 00:25:35,060
Eagle, prepare to engage.

513
00:25:35,166 --> 00:25:38,431
Alpha One, Valkyrie's
still inside. Signaling to get her out.

514
00:25:38,537 --> 00:25:41,904
Get her out? Valkyrie's not Zawari.
Maybe it's the servant.

515
00:25:42,407 --> 00:25:44,773
Omaha,
Valkyrie needs to get out now.

516
00:25:44,876 --> 00:25:48,175
I'm signaling, Alpha One,
no response. Stand by.

517
00:25:48,246 --> 00:25:49,713
We're not missing our window.

518
00:25:49,781 --> 00:25:52,443
Eagle, this is Alpha One.
Engage target.

519
00:25:52,551 --> 00:25:53,745
Negative, Eagle.

520
00:25:53,852 --> 00:25:55,945
We have an American intelligence
asset in there,

521
00:25:56,054 --> 00:25:57,614
and we need to wait for her to get out.

522
00:25:57,638 --> 00:25:58,716
An intelligence asset?

523
00:25:58,790 --> 00:26:00,052
Just give me two minutes.

524
00:26:00,125 --> 00:26:02,787
Negative, Omaha,
we can't risk losing Raptor.

525
00:26:02,894 --> 00:26:05,863
On my authority, you are clear
to engage target. Over.

526
00:26:06,865 --> 00:26:08,127
Missile engaged.

527
00:26:08,233 --> 00:26:11,293
No, Valkyrie's still in there!

528
00:26:13,371 --> 00:26:15,430
Target destroyed.
Eagle heading home.

529
00:26:15,540 --> 00:26:19,442
Omaha, retrieve Valkyrie's body
and get her back to Dreamworld.

530
00:26:19,544 --> 00:26:20,636
Protocol Boomerang. Over.

531
00:26:20,912 --> 00:26:21,912
Roger.

532
00:26:21,980 --> 00:26:25,040
Valkyrie was the servant.
She was one of ours.

533
00:26:25,617 --> 00:26:28,085
No wonder the transcript
was so heavily redacted.

534
00:26:28,153 --> 00:26:30,644
Secretary Reed killed
an American operative.

535
00:26:30,755 --> 00:26:33,485
And then ordered Bronson
to cover it up.

536
00:26:35,393 --> 00:26:36,655
Missile engaged.

537
00:26:37,629 --> 00:26:39,189
No, Valkyrie's still in there!

538
00:26:41,766 --> 00:26:43,597
Target destroyed.
Eagle heading home.

539
00:26:44,069 --> 00:26:48,267
Omaha, retrieve Valkyrie's body
and get her back to Dreamworld.

540
00:26:48,340 --> 00:26:49,830
Protocol Boomerang. Over.

541
00:26:49,941 --> 00:26:51,169
Roger.

542
00:26:53,478 --> 00:26:56,003
So what are we saying here?

543
00:26:56,114 --> 00:26:59,447
That Bronson was murdered to cover up
the death of an American operative,

544
00:26:59,517 --> 00:27:02,782
with the implication that General Reed
is behind it?

545
00:27:02,854 --> 00:27:04,685
The sitting Secretary of Defense?

546
00:27:04,789 --> 00:27:08,816
A position he got largely because
of his success in taking out Zawari.

547
00:27:08,927 --> 00:27:10,861
His political star was on the rise.

548
00:27:10,962 --> 00:27:13,931
Maybe he couldn't afford to have
damaging details out there.

549
00:27:13,999 --> 00:27:15,967
But if he wanted to silence Bronson,

550
00:27:16,034 --> 00:27:18,764
why would he go through the trouble
of setting him up first?

551
00:27:18,837 --> 00:27:21,431
And none of this explains
the theft of the toxin.

552
00:27:21,506 --> 00:27:24,771
Sir, he lied to us.
About Valkyrie and about Bronson.

553
00:27:24,843 --> 00:27:26,310
Either he's involved,

554
00:27:26,378 --> 00:27:28,778
or he knows a hell of a lot more
than he's telling us.

555
00:27:28,847 --> 00:27:30,712
Only, you have no proof.

556
00:27:32,617 --> 00:27:34,881
Listen, Beckett, I know what's at stake.

557
00:27:34,986 --> 00:27:37,113
For you and for Castle.

558
00:27:37,188 --> 00:27:40,487
But I can't let you go at him
without concrete evidence.

559
00:27:44,562 --> 00:27:45,620
Hey.

560
00:27:45,697 --> 00:27:48,537
So, I'm guessing Villante said no
to the idea of waterboarding the truth

561
00:27:48,566 --> 00:27:49,726
out of Secretary Reed.

562
00:27:49,834 --> 00:27:51,665
Yeah, something like that.

563
00:27:53,171 --> 00:27:54,195
How are you feeling?

564
00:27:54,773 --> 00:27:58,072
Ah, good. I think I'm just due
for another shot.

565
00:28:08,553 --> 00:28:10,214
I'm Agent Beckett
from the Attorney General's office.

566
00:28:10,321 --> 00:28:12,653
- I need to speak with Secretary Reed.
- Do you have an appointment?

567
00:28:12,724 --> 00:28:14,191
No. This is a matter of national security.

568
00:28:14,292 --> 00:28:16,556
I'm sorry, if you don't have
an appointment, I have to ask you...

569
00:28:16,661 --> 00:28:18,686
Just please get to the Secretary.
I told you, this is a matter...

570
00:28:18,797 --> 00:28:20,717
- Ma'am, you need to step back.
- Secretary Reed!

571
00:28:20,741 --> 00:28:24,066
Secretary Reed, Agent Beckett
from the Attorney General's office!

572
00:28:24,169 --> 00:28:25,363
We met earlier today, sir.

573
00:28:25,470 --> 00:28:27,700
Michael, who is that?

574
00:28:27,806 --> 00:28:29,000
I'll take care of it.

575
00:28:29,074 --> 00:28:32,237
Sir, we just need to speak.
This is a matter of national security.

576
00:28:32,343 --> 00:28:33,674
Joseph.

577
00:28:37,215 --> 00:28:40,981
You show up at my home?
Who the hell do you think you are?

578
00:28:41,052 --> 00:28:42,332
I should ask you the same thing.

579
00:28:42,356 --> 00:28:47,189
You lied about Valkyrie.
You obstructed a federal investigation.

580
00:28:47,258 --> 00:28:49,192
I told you all you need to know.

581
00:28:49,260 --> 00:28:53,253
I need to know everything. What is
going on and what are you hiding?

582
00:28:53,364 --> 00:28:57,266
You are barking up the wrong tree,
Agent, and it's gonna cost you.

583
00:28:57,902 --> 00:29:00,393
There's a deadly toxin out there.

584
00:29:00,505 --> 00:29:04,498
If so much as one person dies because
you won't cooperate, then I...

585
00:29:04,576 --> 00:29:05,838
You'll what?

586
00:29:05,910 --> 00:29:10,040
Look, whatever this is,
it has nothing to do with me.

587
00:29:10,115 --> 00:29:12,675
You might wanna remember
the first rule of combat.

588
00:29:12,751 --> 00:29:15,777
You don't ever start a war you can't win.

589
00:29:27,398 --> 00:29:28,398
What?

590
00:29:28,466 --> 00:29:31,958
Hey, Beckett, it's Esposito and Ryan.
Is everything okay?

591
00:29:32,070 --> 00:29:33,594
Fine. Why?

592
00:29:33,705 --> 00:29:36,299
Castle's mom came by,
all worried about him.

593
00:29:38,810 --> 00:29:40,402
Come on, Beckett, what's going on?

594
00:29:44,883 --> 00:29:46,145
Everything's fine.

595
00:29:52,123 --> 00:29:55,058
You take a breath in through the nose
and out through the mouth.

596
00:29:55,126 --> 00:29:56,150
Like yoga.

597
00:29:56,628 --> 00:29:58,391
What the hell were you thinking?

598
00:29:58,463 --> 00:29:59,987
Sir, I was just following a hunch.

599
00:30:00,098 --> 00:30:01,827
Next time, follow orders.

600
00:30:01,933 --> 00:30:04,533
I had to go to the mat with
the Attorney General to keep your job.

601
00:30:04,557 --> 00:30:06,999
Wait. Secretary Reed complained
to the Attorney General?

602
00:30:07,105 --> 00:30:10,131
If that surprises you,
you're not as smart as I thought.

603
00:30:10,241 --> 00:30:12,300
No, sir.
It's just, if Reed was behind this,

604
00:30:12,410 --> 00:30:13,690
he wouldn't have made that call.

605
00:30:13,778 --> 00:30:16,178
Right, because he wouldn't wanna call
attention to himself.

606
00:30:18,316 --> 00:30:19,783
Is that why you went out there?

607
00:30:20,151 --> 00:30:21,982
To force him to show his hand?

608
00:30:25,690 --> 00:30:26,782
I'm impressed.

609
00:30:27,826 --> 00:30:29,191
Yeah, well, don't be.

610
00:30:29,661 --> 00:30:32,186
Looks like I just ruled out our only lead.

611
00:30:35,333 --> 00:30:36,766
Guys, I've got something.

612
00:30:37,602 --> 00:30:40,682
I was following up on Valkyrie to see
if there was anything more to the story.

613
00:30:40,705 --> 00:30:43,765
This is a family photo we got
from Rasheed.

614
00:30:43,842 --> 00:30:48,108
He identified this woman as the servant

615
00:30:48,179 --> 00:30:50,773
whose body
Bronson took after the air strike.

616
00:30:50,849 --> 00:30:53,875
And we've identified her
as Farrah Usman.

617
00:30:53,985 --> 00:30:55,850
Yeah, she's listed
as a civilian contractor

618
00:30:55,954 --> 00:30:57,979
working out of the U.S. Consulate
in Kabul.

619
00:30:58,056 --> 00:31:00,889
It's a typical cover
for an intelligence operative.

620
00:31:00,992 --> 00:31:03,222
Yeah, and she was supposedly killed
by a roadside I.E.D.

621
00:31:03,328 --> 00:31:05,057
The same night as the Zawari attack.

622
00:31:05,163 --> 00:31:06,187
Well, that makes sense.

623
00:31:06,297 --> 00:31:09,061
The injuries from an I.E.D.
look a lot like those from an air strike.

624
00:31:09,167 --> 00:31:10,725
That's not the story. Look at this.

625
00:31:10,835 --> 00:31:13,963
So, Farrah Usman's body was shipped
back to Dover two days later.

626
00:31:14,038 --> 00:31:16,404
It was claimed by this man.

627
00:31:17,175 --> 00:31:18,733
Recognize that name?

628
00:31:19,377 --> 00:31:21,675
Brad Parker, the reporter?

629
00:31:21,746 --> 00:31:23,338
One and the same.

630
00:31:24,415 --> 00:31:27,043
I don't get it.
How is he connected to Valkyrie?

631
00:31:27,151 --> 00:31:28,413
According to the paperwork,

632
00:31:28,987 --> 00:31:30,113
he was her fiancé.

633
00:31:31,656 --> 00:31:34,523
He's involved in this whole thing.

634
00:31:36,995 --> 00:31:39,589
As a combat vet, Brad Parker
would've known his fiancé's injuries

635
00:31:39,697 --> 00:31:40,721
weren't from an I.E.D.

636
00:31:40,832 --> 00:31:43,062
That's why he was doing the story
on Dreamworld,

637
00:31:43,167 --> 00:31:44,725
and why he tracked down Bronson.

638
00:31:44,836 --> 00:31:46,796
He was trying to figure out
how she actually died.

639
00:31:46,820 --> 00:31:50,502
And he's ex-military. He would've had
the skills to pull off that heist.

640
00:31:50,575 --> 00:31:51,940
So, what are we saying here?

641
00:31:52,043 --> 00:31:54,739
That Parker stole the toxin
because of his fiancée?

642
00:31:54,846 --> 00:31:55,938
That this is about revenge?

643
00:31:56,047 --> 00:31:58,038
Well, the toxin would be perfect for that.

644
00:31:58,116 --> 00:32:00,949
It's deadly
and undetectable by autopsy,

645
00:32:01,052 --> 00:32:02,349
unless you're specifically looking for it.

646
00:32:02,420 --> 00:32:04,660
Which is why he tried to hide the fact
that it was stolen

647
00:32:04,684 --> 00:32:07,188
by staging the other theft in the building
and framing Bronson.

648
00:32:07,258 --> 00:32:08,850
Where are we on tracking Parker?

649
00:32:08,927 --> 00:32:11,191
He's not at work.
No one's seen him all day.

650
00:32:11,262 --> 00:32:13,822
I can't get a trace on his cell signal.
He must've turned it off.

651
00:32:13,846 --> 00:32:16,644
- Sir, if there's the slightest chance...
- Hit his apartment. Go.

652
00:32:17,535 --> 00:32:18,593
Castle,

653
00:32:19,404 --> 00:32:20,871
you stay here.

654
00:32:20,939 --> 00:32:24,375
I was given less than a day to live
just a little less than a day ago.

655
00:32:24,442 --> 00:32:27,468
If Parker has that antidote,
I need to go with them.

656
00:32:28,780 --> 00:32:29,804
Okay.

657
00:32:41,326 --> 00:32:42,486
Clear!

658
00:32:42,593 --> 00:32:43,673
Bedroom's clear!

659
00:32:43,728 --> 00:32:45,787
Clear. Where the hell is this guy?

660
00:32:45,897 --> 00:32:47,617
All right, guys,
let's get to work.

661
00:32:47,665 --> 00:32:50,634
That toxin or antidote are in here,
I want them found.

662
00:32:57,475 --> 00:33:00,315
These are blueprints of the research
building the toxin was stolen from.

663
00:33:01,612 --> 00:33:05,013
And a confidential file on the toxin.
Parker's our guy!

664
00:33:05,116 --> 00:33:08,347
He's got background on Secretary Reed.
Research materials.

665
00:33:08,987 --> 00:33:10,181
Reed's his next target.

666
00:33:10,288 --> 00:33:13,780
He's going after the man that
gave the order that killed his fiancée.

667
00:33:13,858 --> 00:33:15,758
And I think I know where.

668
00:33:15,827 --> 00:33:18,547
This is confirmation of Parker's press
credentials for Reed's address

669
00:33:18,571 --> 00:33:19,424
at the Naval Academy.

670
00:33:19,497 --> 00:33:21,658
Reed's talking to new cadets
at 5:00 p.m. Today.

671
00:33:21,766 --> 00:33:23,726
- That's in 20 minutes.
- We gotta lock Reed down.

672
00:33:23,750 --> 00:33:26,014
Secure Parker and get that antidote.

673
00:33:33,878 --> 00:33:35,198
Thanks for coming, Mr. Secretary.

674
00:33:35,279 --> 00:33:39,113
It's my pleasure, Admiral Johnson.
It's nice to get out of the office.

675
00:33:39,851 --> 00:33:41,910
Hope you don't mind that
we do the press line first.

676
00:33:41,986 --> 00:33:43,078
Oh, that's fine.

677
00:33:50,728 --> 00:33:52,448
Do you want me to get a hold
of Dr. Goldberg

678
00:33:52,472 --> 00:33:53,552
and have him meet us there?

679
00:33:54,032 --> 00:33:55,659
He already gave me my last shot.

680
00:33:56,367 --> 00:33:59,200
Only thing that can help me now
is the antidote.

681
00:34:00,471 --> 00:34:03,338
Naval Academy's press department
says Parker hasn't checked in yet.

682
00:34:03,408 --> 00:34:05,899
Security teams are already on site
looking for him.

683
00:34:06,010 --> 00:34:07,637
Copy that.

684
00:34:07,712 --> 00:34:10,977
It doesn't make any sense.
Why wouldn't Parker be there yet?

685
00:34:11,049 --> 00:34:12,409
There's thousands of people there.

686
00:34:12,433 --> 00:34:14,081
Maybe they just haven't
spotted him yet.

687
00:34:14,185 --> 00:34:15,982
Why go through the trouble
of getting press credentials

688
00:34:16,054 --> 00:34:17,214
if you're not gonna use them?

689
00:34:17,238 --> 00:34:19,035
Unless he's pulling another head fake.

690
00:34:20,825 --> 00:34:23,988
Like the encryption system was a cover
for the theft of the toxin.

691
00:34:24,062 --> 00:34:27,554
Military tactics. Always making sure
we're a step behind.

692
00:34:27,665 --> 00:34:29,326
Except a step behind what?

693
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:32,528
I mean, this has to be about revenge,
so it has to be about Reed.

694
00:34:32,603 --> 00:34:35,333
Maybe he wants to do to Reed
what Reed did to him.

695
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:38,668
Take away the person
he loves the most.

696
00:34:38,743 --> 00:34:40,267
His wife.

697
00:34:54,092 --> 00:34:56,526
Beckett, why'd you turn around?
Is it Castle?

698
00:34:57,028 --> 00:34:58,120
No. We have a hunch.

699
00:34:59,197 --> 00:35:00,221
What kind of hunch?

700
00:35:00,298 --> 00:35:01,526
Defense Secretary
Reed's office.

701
00:35:01,599 --> 00:35:04,199
This is Agent Beckett from
the Attorney General's Investigative...

702
00:35:04,223 --> 00:35:05,823
- Hold, please.
- No, wait. Hello?

703
00:35:06,104 --> 00:35:07,128
Kate...

704
00:35:07,205 --> 00:35:09,833
Castle, just stay with me.
We're almost there.

705
00:35:11,876 --> 00:35:13,969
Hi. Brad Parker.
I'm here for the interview.

706
00:35:14,078 --> 00:35:16,046
Mrs. Reed's expecting you.

707
00:35:16,114 --> 00:35:17,206
Thank you.

708
00:35:30,895 --> 00:35:33,625
Defense Secretary
Reed's office. How can I help you?

709
00:35:33,731 --> 00:35:36,632
Excuse me, Mrs. Reed. Mr. Parker.

710
00:35:36,734 --> 00:35:38,167
Thanks, Julie.

711
00:35:38,269 --> 00:35:40,669
Please, make yourself comfortable,
Mr. Parker.

712
00:35:40,771 --> 00:35:42,602
Thank you, ma'am.

713
00:35:43,307 --> 00:35:45,502
Can I pour you some tea?

714
00:35:50,014 --> 00:35:51,743
Well, only if you're having some.

715
00:35:52,083 --> 00:35:54,984
That's a deal. Do you take sugar?

716
00:35:55,086 --> 00:35:56,726
You've reached the Reeds.

717
00:35:56,750 --> 00:35:58,985
We're not available,
so please leave a message...

718
00:35:59,090 --> 00:36:00,421
Come on! Damn it.

719
00:36:00,491 --> 00:36:01,491
Kate.

720
00:36:01,592 --> 00:36:02,712
No, Castle, just look at me.

721
00:36:04,128 --> 00:36:07,291
Just hang on, okay?
We're almost there.

722
00:36:22,213 --> 00:36:24,704
Castle. Oh, my God. No!

723
00:36:24,815 --> 00:36:28,342
No! Rick, look at me. Will you...

724
00:36:49,507 --> 00:36:50,565
Mrs. Reed.

725
00:36:52,076 --> 00:36:53,134
She's not responding.

726
00:36:53,711 --> 00:36:55,231
Send an ambulance.
She's not breathing!

727
00:36:55,713 --> 00:36:57,237
Parker, drop the phone.

728
00:36:57,348 --> 00:36:58,713
What are you doing?

729
00:36:58,816 --> 00:37:00,875
Where's the antidote, Parker?

730
00:37:00,985 --> 00:37:02,385
Lower your weapon.

731
00:37:02,409 --> 00:37:03,929
He poisoned Mrs. Reed!

732
00:37:04,488 --> 00:37:05,512
Stay with her.

733
00:37:10,027 --> 00:37:11,892
It's over, Parker!

734
00:37:11,996 --> 00:37:13,429
We know everything.

735
00:37:13,531 --> 00:37:16,022
Now give us the antidote
before it's too late!

736
00:37:30,047 --> 00:37:31,173
No, wait...

737
00:37:31,249 --> 00:37:34,047
Did Reed wait
when he ordered the strike? No.

738
00:37:34,685 --> 00:37:37,210
No, now it's his turn to see how it feels.

739
00:37:37,288 --> 00:37:38,687
She's gonna die.

740
00:37:39,290 --> 00:37:40,552
Just like Farrah.

741
00:37:40,625 --> 00:37:43,617
Please, Parker, she's not the only one
that you've poisoned.

742
00:37:43,728 --> 00:37:47,186
My fiancé's dying.
He needs that antidote.

743
00:37:47,265 --> 00:37:49,199
No, you don't understand.

744
00:37:49,267 --> 00:37:50,734
You're too late.

745
00:37:52,069 --> 00:37:53,593
It's too late.

746
00:37:54,071 --> 00:37:55,868
You better
hope you're wrong.

747
00:38:02,747 --> 00:38:04,408
Castle.

748
00:38:15,192 --> 00:38:16,250
Castle.

749
00:38:18,095 --> 00:38:19,187
Hmm.

750
00:38:21,098 --> 00:38:22,622
Hey.

751
00:38:24,502 --> 00:38:25,560
Hi.

752
00:38:26,971 --> 00:38:29,337
I had the strangest dream,
and you were there.

753
00:38:30,841 --> 00:38:32,809
- Oh, thank God!
- Hi, Dad.

754
00:38:32,910 --> 00:38:35,470
And you were there.
And you were there.

755
00:38:35,579 --> 00:38:36,637
Hey, Mr. C.

756
00:38:36,747 --> 00:38:41,047
I did some healing Reiki on you.
Looks like it worked.

757
00:38:42,153 --> 00:38:43,279
And you were there.

758
00:38:43,387 --> 00:38:45,617
I think
he's gonna be all right.

759
00:38:46,791 --> 00:38:48,725
Yeah, thanks to you.

760
00:38:52,263 --> 00:38:56,461
Well, why don't we give you guys
a moment? Come on.

761
00:38:56,567 --> 00:38:57,847
We'll be outside if you need us.

762
00:38:57,871 --> 00:38:58,871
Okay.

763
00:38:59,437 --> 00:39:01,166
- Love you.
- Love you, too.

764
00:39:02,973 --> 00:39:03,973
Hmm.

765
00:39:04,408 --> 00:39:05,602
Hey.

766
00:39:05,676 --> 00:39:06,676
Hey.

767
00:39:07,278 --> 00:39:08,438
How was your weekend?

768
00:39:08,512 --> 00:39:11,777
Mmm, you know. Uneventful. Yours?

769
00:39:11,982 --> 00:39:12,982
Hmm.

770
00:39:13,484 --> 00:39:14,484
Same.

771
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:17,919
But at least I got to see you.

772
00:39:21,792 --> 00:39:23,157
I'm so sorry, Castle.

773
00:39:26,497 --> 00:39:28,590
This wasn't supposed to be this hard.

774
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:31,534
What, Washington, or us?

775
00:39:33,604 --> 00:39:38,303
Sometimes, the hardest things in life

776
00:39:38,376 --> 00:39:39,968
are the things most worth doing.

777
00:39:42,513 --> 00:39:45,607
Just because we haven't figured it out
yet doesn't mean we won't.

778
00:39:46,050 --> 00:39:47,642
Tell you what, though,

779
00:39:49,019 --> 00:39:52,477
next time I say I'm dying to see you,
let's keep it metaphoric.

780
00:39:53,391 --> 00:39:54,391
Deal.

781
00:39:55,693 --> 00:39:56,819
Hmm.

782
00:40:05,803 --> 00:40:07,168
How's he doing?

783
00:40:07,238 --> 00:40:09,172
He's okay, considering.

784
00:40:10,074 --> 00:40:11,632
What about Mrs. Reed?

785
00:40:11,976 --> 00:40:13,967
Uh, she will pull through.

786
00:40:14,545 --> 00:40:17,878
And what about Secretary Reed?
What's gonna happen with him?

787
00:40:18,249 --> 00:40:19,307
What do you mean?

788
00:40:20,384 --> 00:40:22,978
He withheld information
to save his own ass.

789
00:40:23,053 --> 00:40:25,248
People almost died because of it.

790
00:40:25,356 --> 00:40:27,551
Well, we both know it's not that simple.

791
00:40:29,860 --> 00:40:32,192
Well, there's gonna be an investigation
at least, right?

792
00:40:34,231 --> 00:40:38,167
You want everything to be
black or white, I get it.

793
00:40:40,237 --> 00:40:42,865
But in this town it rarely is.

794
00:40:42,940 --> 00:40:45,534
And to do this job,
you have to make peace with that.

795
00:40:47,211 --> 00:40:51,170
But, hey, that was a hell of a hunch
about Mrs. Reed.

796
00:40:53,250 --> 00:40:55,115
You should feel really good about this.

797
00:40:55,219 --> 00:40:56,777
Yeah, well, that was Castle.

798
00:40:56,887 --> 00:41:00,084
But you were smart enough to act on it.
That was your call.

799
00:41:02,193 --> 00:41:04,627
And you backed me up
without even knowing my play.

800
00:41:05,596 --> 00:41:07,291
That's what partners do.

801
00:41:14,905 --> 00:41:18,466
Yeah. That's what partners do.

801
00:41:19,305 --> 00:41:25,489
