00:00:30,264 --> 00:00:34,041
Hmm. Don't get up yet. Stay in bed.
2
00:00:34,101 --> 00:00:35,580
Castle.
3
00:00:37,538 --> 00:00:39,347
Kate. Hi.
4
00:00:39,406 --> 00:00:40,714
- Castle!
- What?
5
00:00:40,807 --> 00:00:42,753
- Did you do this?
- What?
6
00:00:42,843 --> 00:00:44,322
Stop saying "what" and wake up!
7
00:00:44,378 --> 00:00:45,789
I don't...
8
00:00:48,482 --> 00:00:49,825
We're handcuffed.
9
00:00:49,917 --> 00:00:50,987
It's kinky.
10
00:00:51,084 --> 00:00:52,119
Castle, it's not funny.
11
00:00:52,219 --> 00:00:54,631
I didn't say "funny," I said "kinky."
And I didn't cuff us.
12
00:00:54,721 --> 00:00:55,961
You think I cuffed us?
13
00:00:56,056 --> 00:00:57,501
Well, they look like police cuffs.
14
00:00:58,292 --> 00:00:59,635
Somebody else did this to us.
15
00:01:04,431 --> 00:01:05,603
Do you recognize this place?
16
00:01:05,699 --> 00:01:06,871
No.
17
00:01:07,234 --> 00:01:11,410
But if I were writing a book, this is
where bad things would happen.
18
00:01:11,505 --> 00:01:13,280
My watch is missing.
19
00:01:13,373 --> 00:01:15,512
Mine, too. And my wallet.
20
00:01:15,576 --> 00:01:16,884
So is my badge and my gun.
21
00:01:16,977 --> 00:01:19,423
And my phone.
I just renewed my contract.
22
00:01:19,513 --> 00:01:20,548
Would you stop joking?
23
00:01:20,647 --> 00:01:22,991
Hey, do I begrudge you
your coping mechanisms?
24
00:01:24,551 --> 00:01:26,462
What's the last thing
that you remember?
25
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:27,760
I---
26
00:01:29,623 --> 00:01:31,000
It's kind of a blur.
27
00:01:31,091 --> 00:01:33,298
Yeah. Me, too.
28
00:01:33,393 --> 00:01:34,497
I think we were drugged.
29
00:01:34,595 --> 00:01:36,700
Yeah. I think so, too.
And not the good kind.
30
00:01:36,763 --> 00:01:39,573
Okay. Lift my top.
31
00:01:41,201 --> 00:01:43,613
I think you might still be
under the influence, but okay.
32
00:01:43,704 --> 00:01:46,583
Castle, not like that. Just check my
back. There's something that hurts.
33
00:01:48,575 --> 00:01:49,918
CASTLE: There's a needle mark.
34
00:01:50,010 --> 00:01:51,250
We were drugged.
35
00:01:51,912 --> 00:01:53,914
Looks like the work of a pygmy
with a blowgun.
36
00:01:54,014 --> 00:01:55,152
Okay. You can put my shirt down.
37
00:01:55,215 --> 00:01:56,285
- Yeah, sorry.
- Thanks.
38
00:01:56,817 --> 00:01:59,457
All right, Castle,
I want you to think very hard.
39
00:01:59,519 --> 00:02:01,931
What's the last thing that
you remember from this morning?
40
00:02:02,656 --> 00:02:06,103
I was with you.
We were someplace seedy.
41
00:02:06,493 --> 00:02:08,063
A hotel that rents rooms by the hour.
42
00:02:08,128 --> 00:02:09,402
Would you just knock it off?
43
00:02:09,463 --> 00:02:13,104
It's where we were. You called me
and you asked me to meet you there.
44
00:02:13,166 --> 00:02:14,474
- Oh, I did.
- Yes.
45
00:02:14,534 --> 00:02:16,844
And then I took you up to the room,
46
00:02:16,903 --> 00:02:19,281
and then we...
47
00:02:20,574 --> 00:02:22,576
And then we?
48
00:02:24,378 --> 00:02:27,257
Dead body!
We went to go and see a dead body.
49
00:02:27,347 --> 00:02:29,953
Right. A dead body.

about working with you?

00:02:35,522 --> 00:02:37,331
You always take me
to the most charming places.
53
00:02:37,424 --> 00:02:39,836
Well, I'm a simple girl, Castle.
I go where the bodies are.
54
00:02:39,926 --> 00:02:43,169
Besides, for a mystery novelist,
aren't seedy motels kind of a standard?
55
00:02:43,263 --> 00:02:47,769
Yes, matter of fact, they're a veritable
advent calendar of salaciousness.
56
00:02:47,834 --> 00:02:51,611
Behind every door, a delightful tale
of desperation, depravity...
57
00:02:51,705 --> 00:02:52,740
Or death.

when they came to clean the room.

Cause of death?
66
00:03:08,288 --> 00:03:10,996
Not entirely sure yet, but there are
indications of asphyxia,
67
00:03:11,058 --> 00:03:12,799
with some cyanosis around the face.
68

BECKETT: So he was suffocated?
69
00:03:14,594 --> 00:03:16,665
Maybe. Then again, there's this.

BECKETT: Needle mark.
71
00:03:17,931 --> 00:03:21,105
So he could have just OD'd.
Passed out face first and suffocated.
72
00:03:21,168 --> 00:03:22,511
No. It's definitely murder.
73
00:03:22,602 --> 00:03:23,706
How can you tell?
74
00:03:23,770 --> 00:03:25,750
Someone torched his fingers.
75
00:03:25,806 --> 00:03:27,308
Burned off his prints.
76
00:03:27,407 --> 00:03:29,353
They wanted to erase his identity.
77
00:03:29,443 --> 00:03:31,047
ESPOSITO:
And did a pretty good job, too.
78
00:03:31,111 --> 00:03:33,387
His wallet's missing and we've been
through the room a couple of times.
79
00:03:33,447 --> 00:03:34,653
There's nothing here
to tell us who this guy is.
80
00:03:34,748 --> 00:03:36,659
Did he pay for the room in cash?
81
00:03:36,750 --> 00:03:39,492
Yeah, and the clerk said that
he registered as Jack Sparrow.
82
00:03:39,553 --> 00:03:42,261
Well, there's a possibility
that's his real name.
83
00:03:42,355 --> 00:03:44,562
Sure it is.
84
00:03:46,693 --> 00:03:48,536
We're running it just in case.
85
00:03:49,196 --> 00:03:51,870
The clerk also said he appeared
nervous when he checked in.
86
00:03:51,932 --> 00:03:53,411
He kept looking behind him.
87
00:03:53,500 --> 00:03:55,411
- Did he have any visitors?
- ESPOSITO: He couldn't say.
88

This isn't the most secure building.
89
00:03:56,903 --> 00:03:58,541
I saw a camera in the lobby.

- It's a dummy.
- It's not the only one.
91
00:04:00,574 --> 00:04:03,487
It's used to scare away drug dealers.

Okay, you don't go to the trouble
of trying to erase someone's identity

a very good reason to.
94

Lanie, what are the chances of us
recovering some of the prints?
95
00:04:14,754 --> 00:04:17,963
Depends on how bad the burns are.
Let me get him back to the morgue.
96
00:04:18,058 --> 00:04:19,162

97

00:04:22,262 --> 00:04:23,764

Wait a minute, Ryan did run our guy
through missing persons.
111
00:04:56,496 --> 00:04:58,305
And there wasn't a match. Then what?
112
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,373
Then Ryan asked me
113
00:05:05,739 --> 00:05:08,310
if he spent Thanksgiving
at his family's house,
114
00:05:08,408 --> 00:05:11,184
did that mean he had to spend
Christmas at Jenny's family's house.

I'd have to do it in order.

Of course it's none of my business,
that's why I want to know.

Know what?

were fighting about.

Where are we?
127
00:05:35,669 --> 00:05:38,445
No ID yet,
but his hands have calluses,
128
00:05:38,505 --> 00:05:41,111
so most likely he had a job that
required physical labor.
129
00:05:41,174 --> 00:05:42,744
What about fingerprints?
130
00:05:42,809 --> 00:05:44,083
Outer skin's too damaged.

But I may be able
to macerate the skin,

pull some from the underside
of the epidural layer.
133

You can do that?

Yes, in some cases,
but it's gonna take a couple of days.

of his pants pocket.

140
00:06:12,439 --> 00:06:14,146
4:00 p.m. He was meeting someone.

seeing our victim.

wanted to erase his identity?

This is a postal barcode.
156
00:06:43,470 --> 00:06:45,245
Our victim wrote this note
on the back of an envelope.
157
00:06:45,338 --> 00:06:47,011
A postal barcode?
158
00:06:47,073 --> 00:06:49,679
Yeah, those little hash marks you see
on mailing labels and envelopes?
159
00:06:50,143 --> 00:06:53,283
It's a way of exactly identifying
an address
160
00:06:53,346 --> 00:06:55,326
but in a machine-readable way.
161
00:06:55,382 --> 00:06:56,725
We get that decoded,
162
00:06:56,783 --> 00:07:00,390
we'll be able to tell exactly where
our victim was when he wrote that note.
163
00:07:00,453 --> 00:07:03,297
Okay, then we call the post office
and they give us the address.

neither of them wants to admit to it.

do that to themselves?

172
00:07:23,510 --> 00:07:25,251
Matches the address.

(KNOCKING)
176
00:07:34,087 --> 00:07:37,762
BECKETT: Hello? NYPD.
Anybody here?
177
00:07:45,298 --> 00:07:46,402
Hello?
178
00:07:51,371 --> 00:07:52,714
Anybody here?
179
00:08:12,192 --> 00:08:14,672
CASTLE: Bill and Nora Ranford.
180
00:08:15,095 --> 00:08:16,972
Maybe Bill is our John Doe.
181
00:08:18,198 --> 00:08:19,575
(METAL RATTLES)
182
00:08:19,632 --> 00:08:22,010
NYPD. Identify yourself.
183
00:08:22,202 --> 00:08:24,614
WOMAN: (FAINTLY) Help me.
184
00:08:41,321 --> 00:08:44,063
Ma'am? Ma'am, are you okay?
185
00:08:44,124 --> 00:08:45,296
(RATTLING)
186
00:09:05,779 --> 00:09:07,816
An old woman in a cage.
187
00:09:07,914 --> 00:09:10,190
Yeah, that's the last thing
I remember.
188
00:09:12,118 --> 00:09:13,620
Me, too.
189
00:09:17,390 --> 00:09:18,926
What the hell is going on?
190
00:09:26,433 --> 00:09:29,414
It's just I always spend Christmas
with my family.
191
00:09:29,502 --> 00:09:32,972
Hey, well, you were the one
who decided to get hitched, bro.
192
00:09:33,039 --> 00:09:34,814
Yeah, but I didn't think that meant
193
00:09:34,874 --> 00:09:37,650
driving down to Florida to spend
the holidays with her grandmother.
194
00:09:37,711 --> 00:09:40,214
Driving? You're not flying?
195
00:09:40,313 --> 00:09:41,724
RYAN: During the holidays?
You kidding me?
196
00:09:42,148 --> 00:09:43,786
Besides, Jenny thinks that
a road trip
197
00:09:43,850 --> 00:09:46,330
will give us
some quality time together.
198
00:09:46,386 --> 00:09:48,593
That is no road trip, brother.
199
00:09:48,655 --> 00:09:51,727
That is a relationship test.
200
00:09:52,892 --> 00:09:54,565
Relationship test?
201
00:09:54,928 --> 00:09:55,963
We're getting married in a month.
202
00:09:56,062 --> 00:09:57,700
Well, we'll see what happens
after the test.
203
00:09:58,031 --> 00:10:01,740
It's the pre-wedding road trip test.
Locked together for hours.
204
00:10:01,801 --> 00:10:04,611
That way she can confront you with
any lingering doubts she may have
205
00:10:04,704 --> 00:10:06,012
about your future together.
206
00:10:06,072 --> 00:10:08,552
And you will have nowhere to hide.
207
00:10:08,608 --> 00:10:11,452
Hey, have either of you seen Beckett?
208
00:10:11,544 --> 00:10:13,581
She's probably following up
on a lead.
209
00:10:14,714 --> 00:10:18,491
Don't think that I don't know that
you guys cover for each other.
210
00:10:19,085 --> 00:10:20,223
What's that?
211
00:10:20,487 --> 00:10:22,262
Any progress on our John Doe?
212
00:10:22,322 --> 00:10:25,326
Yeah, turned out he did show up at
the Cambury Café yesterday,
213
00:10:25,425 --> 00:10:26,665
and he wasn't alone.
214
00:10:26,759 --> 00:10:28,363
RYAN: Waitress recognized
him immediately.
215
00:10:28,461 --> 00:10:31,840
Said he sat in a corner booth,
met with a guy, long hair, goatee.
216
00:10:31,931 --> 00:10:33,171
Said our vic looked nervous.
217
00:10:33,266 --> 00:10:35,337
We have the waitress
working with an artist,
218
00:10:35,435 --> 00:10:37,005
see if we can come up with a sketch
219
00:10:37,070 --> 00:10:38,981
of the goateed man
to use on a canvass.
220
00:10:39,038 --> 00:10:40,813
All right, keep me apprised.
221
00:10:43,309 --> 00:10:45,687
Come on. Jenny loves me.
She wouldn't test me like that.
222
00:10:45,745 --> 00:10:50,717
Right. Just watch out if she wants
to take you canoeing. Okay?
223
00:10:52,552 --> 00:10:55,294
Canoeing? Canoeing is a test?
224
00:10:55,355 --> 00:10:59,360
It's all about power. Direction.
Like a marriage.
225
00:10:59,459 --> 00:11:02,872
If the canoe goes straight
it shows her that you can compromise,
226
00:11:02,962 --> 00:11:06,967
work together, find a rhythm,
move forward in the same direction.
227
00:11:08,034 --> 00:11:10,310
But if it's going around in circles,
228
00:11:10,370 --> 00:11:11,610
so is your relationship.
229
00:11:13,606 --> 00:11:14,846
Castle, would you just work with me?
230
00:11:14,941 --> 00:11:16,648
CASTLE: How about you work with me?
231
00:11:16,743 --> 00:11:18,848
How come you always have to lead?
232
00:11:18,945 --> 00:11:21,050
How come you always have to
step on my toes?
233
00:11:21,114 --> 00:11:22,491
CASTLE: Since when do...
234
00:11:22,582 --> 00:11:24,823
Okay, you know what? Tell me this,
235
00:11:25,385 --> 00:11:27,331
why do you always have to be first?
236
00:11:27,754 --> 00:11:30,564
First out of the elevator,
first through the door.
237
00:11:30,657 --> 00:11:33,263
I am a cop. I'm the one with a gun.
238
00:11:33,359 --> 00:11:36,863
Being first through the door
is my job.
239
00:11:36,963 --> 00:11:38,067
In the elevator?
240
00:11:38,164 --> 00:11:39,700
Look, how about this?
241
00:11:39,799 --> 00:11:43,212
Would it kill you to let someone open
the door for you once in a while?
242
00:11:43,303 --> 00:11:45,180
You do realize if somebody opens
the door for me,
243
00:11:45,271 --> 00:11:47,808
then I will be going through it
first anyway, right?
244
00:11:47,874 --> 00:11:50,218
Oh, yeah, that's right. I forgot.
You have to be the smartest, too.
245
00:11:50,310 --> 00:11:51,618
Everything's a competition with you.
246
00:11:51,678 --> 00:11:53,749
That is so not true. Are you always
like this in the mornings?
247
00:11:53,813 --> 00:11:56,157
You know, I'd argue with you,
but then I'd have to let you win.
248
00:11:56,249 --> 00:11:58,752
Okay, fine, go ahead. You lead.
249
00:11:59,152 --> 00:12:00,426
Thank you.
250
00:12:03,022 --> 00:12:04,467
Where did you wanna go?
251
00:12:04,891 --> 00:12:06,802
I think that there's a light switch
over there.
252
00:12:06,893 --> 00:12:08,429
Or do you want to stay in the dark?
253
00:12:14,901 --> 00:12:17,211
Hmm. I liked it better in the dark.
254
00:12:17,270 --> 00:12:19,375
This door is steel. There's no way
we're getting through here.
255
00:12:19,472 --> 00:12:21,850
These walls are cinder block. Whoa.
256
00:12:24,043 --> 00:12:26,182
What do you suppose
is in that big freezer?
257
00:12:30,316 --> 00:12:32,125
Do you think it's the old woman?
258
00:12:32,452 --> 00:12:34,329
What if we're in some psycho's lair,
259
00:12:34,387 --> 00:12:35,798
and we have to kill each other
like in Saw.
260
00:12:35,888 --> 00:12:37,925
Castle, stop speculating.
It's not helping.
261
00:12:37,991 --> 00:12:40,232
Come on, an old lady in a cage?
262
00:12:40,293 --> 00:12:42,773
Us cuffed together in this creepy room?
What am I supposed to think?
263
00:12:42,862 --> 00:12:44,933
You're supposed to think that
we need to get the hell out of here
264
00:12:45,031 --> 00:12:46,442
before someone comes back.
265
00:12:46,532 --> 00:12:47,704
How long do you think we were out?
266
00:12:47,767 --> 00:12:48,802
Couple of hours.
267
00:12:48,902 --> 00:12:51,041
- How can you tell?
-'Cause I'm hungry.
268
00:12:51,104 --> 00:12:52,139
Oh!
269
00:12:52,872 --> 00:12:53,907
Got some beef jerky.
270
00:12:55,108 --> 00:12:56,348
What?
271
00:12:57,243 --> 00:12:59,314
Hold my hand.
272
00:13:00,713 --> 00:13:02,693
So the cuffs don't cut into us.
273
00:13:02,749 --> 00:13:04,057
We could just try to get them off.
274
00:13:04,150 --> 00:13:05,527
You got a bobby pin?
275
00:13:05,585 --> 00:13:07,394
What is this? The 1940s?
276
00:13:07,487 --> 00:13:08,761
These are my police cuffs.
277
00:13:08,821 --> 00:13:11,529
You're not gonna open them
with a bobby pin.
278
00:13:12,091 --> 00:13:14,162
Face it, we're stuck.
279
00:13:17,563 --> 00:13:19,065
You think anyone knows we're missing?
280
00:13:19,132 --> 00:13:21,339
Martha and Alexis will notice
if you don't go home, right?
281
00:13:22,235 --> 00:13:25,580
Actually, my mother's taking Alexis
on a tour of colleges this weekend.
282
00:13:25,638 --> 00:13:26,776
Esposito and Ryan?
283
00:13:26,873 --> 00:13:31,151
Yeah, they'll probably notice.
But it doesn't mean they'll find us here.
284
00:13:33,079 --> 00:13:34,114
What is that?
285
00:13:37,016 --> 00:13:38,017
It's a hatch.
286
00:13:38,084 --> 00:13:39,722
If we can get up there,
we might be able to get out.
287
00:13:39,786 --> 00:13:41,265
Yeah, well, it's too high.
288
00:13:41,354 --> 00:13:42,992
Not if we climb on top of that.
289
00:13:45,725 --> 00:13:47,466
-(BEEPS)
- ESPOSITO: That was Lanie.
290
00:13:47,527 --> 00:13:51,839
Preliminary autopsy report shows that
our victim was, in fact, smothered.
291
00:13:51,931 --> 00:13:53,877
A guy his size. You'd think
he'd put up more of a struggle.
292
00:13:53,967 --> 00:13:55,776
He couldn't. Tox reports show that
293
00:13:55,835 --> 00:13:57,644
his system was flooded with
so much sedative
294
00:13:57,704 --> 00:13:59,149
-that it could put down an elephant.
- Hmm.
295
00:13:59,806 --> 00:14:01,479
Where are we with that sketch?
296
00:14:01,574 --> 00:14:03,576
Well, I got unis
looking through mug books,
297
00:14:03,643 --> 00:14:05,452
and I sent a team uptown to canvass.
298
00:14:08,614 --> 00:14:09,820
Still not back, huh?
299
00:14:09,916 --> 00:14:12,294
No. It's been hours.
300
00:14:12,952 --> 00:14:15,125
Every time I call,
it goes straight to voice mail.
301
00:14:15,221 --> 00:14:16,427
You think
they're really running down a lead?
302
00:14:16,522 --> 00:14:19,435
What lead? There was nothing new
on the board when we came back.
303
00:14:19,492 --> 00:14:20,562
(SIGHS)
304
00:14:21,694 --> 00:14:23,571
You think you can hit up dispatch?
305
00:14:23,663 --> 00:14:26,735
See if they'll run a trace
on the transponder in Beckett's unit.
306
00:14:26,833 --> 00:14:28,039
I want to know where they are.
307
00:14:29,936 --> 00:14:31,472
(BOTH GRUNTING)
308
00:14:37,176 --> 00:14:38,450
I can't get a good angle on it.
309
00:14:38,511 --> 00:14:40,354
- Yeah. Try this.
-(PANTING)
310
00:14:40,446 --> 00:14:41,857
Ready?
311
00:14:41,948 --> 00:14:43,120
You better not be
enjoying this, Castle.
312
00:14:43,182 --> 00:14:44,661
- I'll let you know in a minute.
- Okay.
313
00:14:44,751 --> 00:14:46,321
One, two, three.
314
00:14:46,652 --> 00:14:47,926
Push!
315
00:14:48,221 --> 00:14:49,666
(GRUNTING)
316
00:14:52,859 --> 00:14:54,896
Okay. (PANTING)
317
00:14:55,128 --> 00:14:57,870
Whatever's in here is a hell of a lot
heavier than a little old lady.
318
00:14:57,930 --> 00:15:00,274
It's like it's filled with rocks.
319
00:15:02,335 --> 00:15:03,507
What if we emptied it?
320
00:15:03,770 --> 00:15:04,840
That's a great idea, Castle,
321
00:15:04,904 --> 00:15:07,646
except it's locked
and I'm fresh out of bolt cutters.
322
00:15:07,707 --> 00:15:09,482
Yeah, but it's a combo lock.
323
00:15:09,976 --> 00:15:11,080
So?
324
00:15:11,411 --> 00:15:13,288
So, when I was writing Storm Rising,
325
00:15:13,346 --> 00:15:15,792
I studied with one of the best
safecrackers in the biz.
326
00:15:15,848 --> 00:15:17,794
I can open this.
327
00:15:17,850 --> 00:15:19,727
I just don't know if we want to.
328
00:15:22,321 --> 00:15:25,268
Let's get cracking, Castle.
Before our captors get back.
329
00:15:25,925 --> 00:15:27,427
(CLICKING)
330
00:15:29,595 --> 00:15:32,235
RYAN: Transponder says
her unit's right over here.
331
00:15:43,342 --> 00:15:44,946
That's definitely Beckett's car.
332
00:15:51,651 --> 00:15:53,096
Looks like it's been dumped.
333
00:15:53,186 --> 00:15:54,597
Yeah, call it in.
334
00:16:02,862 --> 00:16:05,433
ESPOSITO: Timestamp puts this
at five hours ago.
335
00:16:05,932 --> 00:16:07,843
RYAN: So that's Beckett's car.
336
00:16:09,168 --> 00:16:11,409
But that's not Castle or Beckett.
337
00:16:11,471 --> 00:16:12,973
ESPOSITO: And he's not alone.
Someone picked him up.
338
00:16:13,072 --> 00:16:14,107
GATES: Do we know who they are?
339
00:16:14,207 --> 00:16:15,242
No clue.
340
00:16:15,308 --> 00:16:17,447
Can we get a plate number?
341
00:16:18,711 --> 00:16:19,815
Too far away.
342
00:16:19,912 --> 00:16:23,223
We also ran Beckett and Castle's cells.
They're both off grid.
343
00:16:23,282 --> 00:16:25,353
What the hell
did Castle get her into?
344
00:16:25,418 --> 00:16:28,024
I want CSU on that car
with a fine-tooth comb
345
00:16:28,087 --> 00:16:30,033
for any possible trace evidence.
346
00:16:30,123 --> 00:16:33,661
They were working the John Doe

all of this?

John Doe with his identity removed?

00:17:50,269 --> 00:17:52,271
Come on, Lanie, there's got to be
something else about this guy
371
00:17:52,338 --> 00:17:53,476
from his autopsy.
372
00:17:53,539 --> 00:17:55,678
He was in the beginning stages
of heart disease.
373
00:17:55,741 --> 00:17:59,211
He had a degenerative hip condition
and mild scoliosis,
374
00:17:59,312 --> 00:18:01,155
probably from sitting too much.
375
00:18:01,214 --> 00:18:04,855
And the last thing he had to eat
was a pastrami sandwich.
376
00:18:04,951 --> 00:18:07,295
None of which will get you an ID.
377
00:18:07,353 --> 00:18:09,355
His hands were callused,
suggesting physical labor,
378
00:18:09,455 --> 00:18:10,763
and yet he spent
too much time sitting?
379
00:18:10,823 --> 00:18:13,133
Maybe he drove a forklift.
I don't know.
380
00:18:13,225 --> 00:18:15,432
Come on.
We need something concrete now.
381
00:18:15,494 --> 00:18:16,564

beyond recognition.

it might not, right?

Well, according to his folks,
he got a contract last week
424
00:20:40,406 --> 00:20:43,819
to pick up a load from Del Rio,
Texas, and bring it to Queens.

All Spooner told them was he got
a last minute call from a special client
429
00:20:54,120 --> 00:20:55,292
who was paying him big money.
430
00:20:55,354 --> 00:20:58,028
His folks also said it's unusual
for him to be staying in a motel.
431
00:20:58,124 --> 00:21:00,229
Apparently Spooner never stayed
in the city.
432
00:21:00,292 --> 00:21:02,465
He thought it was safer and cheaper
to stay in his truck.

He's a person of interest, so I got
notified when you ran his prints.

But he always makes a pick-up in
Del Rio. It's a little border town.

00:21:57,383 --> 00:21:59,590
You think he's smuggling drugs
from Mexico?

The cartels are really active
in these towns and extremely brutal.

And if you knew Spooner was involved,
why didn't you arrest him?

so we set up a sting

to move some product,

00:22:19,939 --> 00:22:21,577

00:22:22,007 --> 00:22:25,318
Now instead of running,
Spooner, he wanted to meet.

And he was scared.

00:22:27,113 --> 00:22:29,684
He wanted out and he was afraid of
what they would do to him

00:22:29,749 --> 00:22:30,921
if he walked away.

if I guaranteed him safety.

What do you want from us?
532
00:25:58,957 --> 00:26:01,301
Captain Gates,
furniture store owner verified
533
00:26:01,360 --> 00:26:04,102
that he took delivery from Spooner
a couple days ago.
534
00:26:04,163 --> 00:26:05,642
He said it was just
a couple of coffee tables
535
00:26:05,731 --> 00:26:07,074
packed near the rear of the truck.
536
00:26:07,132 --> 00:26:08,304
And you believed him?
537
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:09,811
He's a family man,
didn't have any priors.
538
00:26:09,902 --> 00:26:13,042
But he did say something happened
during delivery. Something weird.
539
00:26:13,105 --> 00:26:14,379
As they were unloading the shipment,
540
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,010
a box fell off a stack
and hit him in the shoulder.
541
00:26:16,075 --> 00:26:18,578
He said the box must've been empty
because it bounced right off of him.
542
00:26:18,677 --> 00:26:19,917
He tried to joke with Spooner,
543
00:26:20,012 --> 00:26:22,117
asked him if he was shipping
cotton candy or air,
544
00:26:22,214 --> 00:26:24,694
Spooner kind of got squirrely, said
it was just a couple of empties there
545
00:26:24,750 --> 00:26:25,820
packed there to fill some space.
546
00:26:25,884 --> 00:26:27,158
The owner thought
it wasn't a big deal,
547
00:26:27,219 --> 00:26:29,096
but then he heard something
from behind the boxes.
548
00:26:29,188 --> 00:26:30,758
Something that
sounded like breathing.
549

a few small legitimate jobs

his smuggling trips

00:26:37,863 --> 00:26:41,834
and places a wall of empties in front
of whatever his real cargo is.
552
00:26:42,468 --> 00:26:44,414
Did the owner have any idea
where Spooner was headed?

00:26:44,470 --> 00:26:45,608

(BECKETT SCREAMS)
692
00:32:50,736 --> 00:32:52,875
-(ROARING)
- A tiger?
693
00:32:52,938 --> 00:32:54,918
Yeah! It's a tiger.
And it almost bit my face off.
694
00:32:55,006 --> 00:32:57,885
Wait, now that explains the cage
and the chains.
695
00:32:57,976 --> 00:32:59,512
And the butcher knives
for the raw meat.
696
00:32:59,578 --> 00:33:01,421
A tiger.
That's what they were haggling over?
697
00:33:01,513 --> 00:33:03,584
Yeah, well, tigers are endangered.
Trafficking them is illegal.
698
00:33:03,682 --> 00:33:04,922
We walked in on their operation.
699
00:33:05,016 --> 00:33:07,292
Walking in on their operation
is not our problem right now.
700
00:33:07,352 --> 00:33:09,457
That tiger walking in here
is our problem.
701
00:33:09,521 --> 00:33:11,398
Don't worry, Castle.
She's not gonna get through that wall.

Hey! Back! Get back!
704
00:33:14,292 --> 00:33:17,136
Is it just me, or does she look
a little bit hungry?
705
00:33:19,297 --> 00:33:20,640
Yeah, that's bad.
706
00:33:22,167 --> 00:33:23,441
What are you doing?
707
00:33:23,502 --> 00:33:26,278
I'm just gonna buy us some good will.
708
00:33:26,605 --> 00:33:28,710
No, no, no, Castle.
Don't go near her.
709
00:33:32,677 --> 00:33:33,747
CASTLE: I think she's going for it.
710
00:33:33,845 --> 00:33:37,190
Yeah. And then when she's done
with that, she'll want more.
711
00:33:38,183 --> 00:33:39,787
(SCREAMING) Get back!
She's coming!

(GROWLING)
713
00:33:41,319 --> 00:33:43,925
So National Bank has close to
100 properties in foreclosure

00:33:44,022 --> 00:33:45,092
in the outer boroughs.
715
00:33:45,190 --> 00:33:46,601
But our folks have certain needs,
716
00:33:46,691 --> 00:33:48,864
so we filtered out all the ones
without basements.
717
00:33:50,529 --> 00:33:51,974
Come on, Castle.
We gotta cover that hole.
718
00:33:53,498 --> 00:33:54,875
Push.

Again.
722
00:34:01,339 --> 00:34:04,252
RYAN: The two houses we know they
used had other common elements.
723
00:34:04,309 --> 00:34:07,813
Close freeway access, long,
wide driveways that can fit a semi,
724
00:34:07,913 --> 00:34:10,917
and both are situated in between
empty lots or unoccupied houses,
725
00:34:10,982 --> 00:34:12,393
minimizing the nosy-neighbor factor.
726
00:34:12,451 --> 00:34:13,759
Now you cross reference all that,
727
00:34:13,819 --> 00:34:16,299
it leaves us with 11 likelies
in the outer boroughs.

What do we do?
731
00:34:22,594 --> 00:34:23,629
Divvy up the list.
732
00:34:23,728 --> 00:34:25,765
Get unis out to all 11 properties.
733
00:34:26,164 --> 00:34:28,405
And let's bring them back alive.
734
00:34:29,367 --> 00:34:30,402
We get in the freezer.
735
00:34:30,502 --> 00:34:32,038
It'll latch and we'll suffocate.
736
00:34:32,103 --> 00:34:33,207
Would you rather be eaten?
737
00:34:33,305 --> 00:34:34,909

ESPOSITO: 817, Fincher Drive.
742
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:52,424
Industrial building, foreclosed on
eight months ago.
743
00:34:54,726 --> 00:34:57,002

just like the last three places.

see if there's anything in back.

Yeah, well,
there were a couple of moments.

00:39:09,981 --> 00:39:12,154
Until we found our rhythm.

...even find us?
835
00:39:27,966 --> 00:39:30,037
Well, we followed your bread crumbs,
and it led us here.
836
00:39:30,101 --> 00:39:31,205
And lucky for all of us,
837
00:39:31,269 --> 00:39:35,046
some of my detectives keep me
informed as to their whereabouts.
838
00:39:35,106 --> 00:39:39,111
Thanks to you two, I'm instituting
a new policy in our department.

No one goes anywhere

we won't have to look so hard
842
00:39:52,423 --> 00:39:53,868
next time we save your ass.
843
00:39:53,958 --> 00:39:54,993
I missed you, by the way.
844
00:39:55,093 --> 00:39:56,436
BECKETT: Really? Prove it.
ESPOSITO: I'll prove it.
845
00:39:56,494 --> 00:39:57,598
RYAN: How was that tiger?
BECKETT: Espo, stop it.
846
00:39:57,662 --> 00:39:58,902
RYAN: (ROLLING "R") Was it great?
ESPOSITO: What?
847
00:39:59,264 --> 00:40:00,743
MARTINEZ: Her name
is Ruth Spurloch.
848
00:40:00,799 --> 00:40:05,009
And it turns out her and her sons are
major suppliers of endangered tigers
849
00:40:05,103 --> 00:40:07,276
to wealthy customers
all around the world.
850
00:40:07,372 --> 00:40:08,817
Hard to believe
it's worth killing for.
851
00:40:08,907 --> 00:40:11,513
The exotic animal trade
is a million-dollar industry,
852
00:40:11,576 --> 00:40:13,886
and Texas,
which has almost no regulations,
853
00:40:13,945 --> 00:40:15,549
is one of the few places in the world
854
00:40:15,647 --> 00:40:18,150
where selling and breeding tigers
is not illegal.
855
00:40:18,216 --> 00:40:21,322
Ruth and her boys were making
millions off her breeding farm.
856
00:40:21,386 --> 00:40:24,026
Spooner would truck them
from Del Rio up to New York.
857
00:40:24,122 --> 00:40:26,500
And then wealthy clients would
smuggle them past Customs
858
00:40:26,591 --> 00:40:28,264
and ship them out
on their private jets.
859
00:40:28,326 --> 00:40:30,169
Right. Except outside of Texas,
860
00:40:30,261 --> 00:40:33,504
trafficking endangered species
is a criminal offense.
861
00:40:33,598 --> 00:40:36,272
So Ruth didn't want
Spooner ratting her out.
862
00:40:36,334 --> 00:40:38,507
Which is why when we showed up
at her house, she played the victim.
863
00:40:38,570 --> 00:40:39,947
So she could get the drop on us.
864
00:40:40,004 --> 00:40:41,984
Yeah, and knocked out us
using animal tranquilizers.
865
00:40:42,073 --> 00:40:45,316
Which can't be good for me.
I still have a taste in my mouth.
866
00:40:46,044 --> 00:40:47,114
Yeah.
867
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:52,727
Well, I'm gonna turn the trafficking
case over to the FBI and Customs.
868
00:40:52,817 --> 00:40:55,263
You can coordinate with them
on your murder charge.
869
00:40:55,353 --> 00:40:57,856
Thank you, Agent Martinez.
I'll walk you out.
870
00:41:00,725 --> 00:41:02,170
Hey,
871
00:41:02,227 --> 00:41:05,800
as expected, the hair from the truck
is tiger, and the blood is from raw meat.
872
00:41:05,864 --> 00:41:07,866
They used the hatches to throw down
food to the cats
873
00:41:07,932 --> 00:41:09,036
or sedate them with darts.
874
00:41:09,100 --> 00:41:10,704
What's gonna happen
with that tiger, anyway?
875
00:41:10,802 --> 00:41:12,372
Shoot him.
876
00:41:13,004 --> 00:41:14,711
She'll get transferred
to a sanctuary.
877
00:41:14,806 --> 00:41:15,841
Or that.
878
00:41:16,441 --> 00:41:18,580
Probably end up in a zoo.
Why? You want to go and visit her?
879
00:41:18,643 --> 00:41:21,021
No. No, thanks. I'm good.
880
00:41:21,112 --> 00:41:22,147
All right, you guys get some rest.
881
00:41:22,247 --> 00:41:23,590
- You, too.
- Yeah.
882
00:41:23,648 --> 00:41:26,891
That has got to be the strangest
brush with death I've ever had.
883
00:41:26,951 --> 00:41:28,021
Me, too.
884
00:41:28,086 --> 00:41:29,861
But I'll tell you,
after that experience,
885
00:41:29,921 --> 00:41:33,027
if I ever have to be hitched
to someone, it would be you.
886
00:41:33,491 --> 00:41:34,526
Hitched?
887
00:41:35,426 --> 00:41:37,428
Hitched? No, I didn't say "hitched."
888
00:41:37,528 --> 00:41:40,065
I said "cuffed." Handcuffed.
Not hitched,
889
00:41:40,164 --> 00:41:42,144
the colloquial or any other
connotation or meaning.
890
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:44,009
It's okay, Castle.
I understood what you meant.
891
00:41:44,068 --> 00:41:45,172
And for what it's worth,
892
00:41:45,236 --> 00:41:48,683
if I ever have to spend another night
handcuffed to someone again,
893
00:41:49,140 --> 00:41:50,881
I wouldn't mind if it was you either.
894
00:41:51,609 --> 00:41:52,679
Really?
895
00:41:52,777 --> 00:41:55,951
The next time,
let's do it without the tiger.
896
00:41:58,650 --> 00:41:59,754
Next time?
