1
00:00:23,250 --> 00:00:25,166
What if we got married on the Cyclone?

2
00:00:26,083 --> 00:00:27,792
The roller coaster at Coney Island?

3
00:00:27,875 --> 00:00:29,709
Come on, how much fun would that be?

4
00:00:30,375 --> 00:00:32,542
And talk about an appropriate, if not

5
00:00:32,667 --> 00:00:35,750
slightly on-the-nose metaphor.
A bride and groom together,

6
00:00:35,834 --> 00:00:38,166
side-by-side, as they go through
the ups and downs,

7
00:00:38,250 --> 00:00:40,125
the twists and turns
and the loop-de-loops of life.

8
00:00:40,542 --> 00:00:41,458
Castle, I love you,

9
00:00:41,542 --> 00:00:43,291
but I will not marry you on a ride

10
00:00:43,375 --> 00:00:45,208
or up in space, or on a slide.

11
00:00:45,500 --> 00:00:47,667
I bet Dr. Seuss got married somewhere fun.

12
00:00:47,750 --> 00:00:49,625
Yes, his wife's living room.

13
00:00:51,333 --> 00:00:53,083
How many people do you think can fit

14
00:00:53,166 --> 00:00:55,208
in one of those
roller coaster cars anyway?

15
00:00:55,291 --> 00:00:56,500
Twenty? Thirty?

16
00:00:56,917 --> 00:00:58,000
That's a good point.

17
00:00:58,917 --> 00:01:01,917
We should determine exactly
whom we are going to invite.

18
00:01:02,166 --> 00:01:03,542
Yeah. Good idea.

19
00:01:03,625 --> 00:01:04,709
And that way,

20
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,792
we could determine exactly how big
a roller coaster car we need to build.

21
00:01:07,875 --> 00:01:11,750
Or how big of an actual venue we need.
Either way, I'll go and get the paper.

22
00:01:11,875 --> 00:01:13,542
-I'll get a pen.
-[cell phone ringing]

23
00:01:13,625 --> 00:01:15,500
And I will get the phone.

24
00:01:16,750 --> 00:01:17,583
Beckett.

25
00:01:21,792 --> 00:01:24,583
You know, there's a good argument
for keeping the list really small.

26
00:01:24,667 --> 00:01:26,583
Just immediate family.

27
00:01:26,792 --> 00:01:28,083
This argument doesn't have something to do

28
00:01:28,166 --> 00:01:30,125
with a certain amusement park ride,
does it?

29
00:01:30,208 --> 00:01:32,750
I'm being serious.
Getting married is an intimate act.

30
00:01:32,834 --> 00:01:35,083
And our ceremony
should reflect that intimacy.

31
00:01:35,208 --> 00:01:36,959
And that way,
we could all fit into one car.

32
00:01:37,041 --> 00:01:39,208
Ryan. How do you feel
about roller coasters?

33
00:01:39,291 --> 00:01:40,834
Ooh, they make me nauseous. Why?

34
00:01:40,917 --> 00:01:42,667
No reason. Who's our victim?

35
00:01:42,750 --> 00:01:46,542
Peter Cordero, 26.
According to the super, he lives alone.

36
00:01:46,625 --> 00:01:50,250
He's a futures trader at JP Harding,
the Wall Street investment firm.

37
00:01:50,333 --> 00:01:51,333
And how was he killed?

38
00:01:51,417 --> 00:01:52,875
[Ryan] A single GSW to the chest.

39
00:01:52,959 --> 00:01:54,709
Looks like his own future got traded.

40
00:01:54,792 --> 00:01:56,583
Yeah, not without a fight first.

41
00:01:56,667 --> 00:01:57,959
Who found the body?

42
00:01:58,041 --> 00:02:01,667
Well, that's an interesting question.
At 10:03 p.m.,

43
00:02:01,750 --> 00:02:06,542
a woman made a 911 call
from a pay phone down the block,

44
00:02:06,625 --> 00:02:08,291
but she refused to leave her name.

45
00:02:08,375 --> 00:02:10,041
A pay phone down the block?

46
00:02:10,125 --> 00:02:11,792
But how would she know he was dead,
unless...

47
00:02:11,875 --> 00:02:13,542
Unless she was in the apartment.

48
00:02:13,625 --> 00:02:17,125
Well, lividity places the time of death
between 8:00 and 10:00,

49
00:02:17,250 --> 00:02:20,417
so if the 911 call came in at 10:03...

50
00:02:20,834 --> 00:02:21,917
She could be our killer.

51
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,792
Esposito's checking security cam footage.

52
00:02:23,875 --> 00:02:25,125
Hopefully we caught her on tape.

53
00:02:25,208 --> 00:02:28,458
Now, is it just me,
or is it odd that our victim is wearing

54
00:02:28,542 --> 00:02:32,000
a suit jacket, tie, pants, shoes,
but his shirt is unbuttoned?

55
00:02:32,583 --> 00:02:35,041
It's odd, all right. And look at this.

56
00:02:36,208 --> 00:02:39,166
His shirt was on and buttoned
when he was shot.

57
00:02:39,250 --> 00:02:42,125
So, our killer unbuttoned his shirt
after he was dead.

58
00:02:42,208 --> 00:02:43,041
Yep.

59
00:02:43,125 --> 00:02:45,208
The killer was looking for something.

60
00:02:45,792 --> 00:02:48,917
A pricey necklace? Or-- Oh!
A bunch of cash taped to his chest,

61
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:50,458
like <i>Wolf of Wall Street.</i>

62
00:02:50,542 --> 00:02:54,125
There's something else.
I didn't find any defensive wounds.

63
00:02:54,208 --> 00:02:57,458
So, if there was a fight out there,
I don't think this guy was in it.

64
00:02:58,375 --> 00:03:01,125
Yo, Beckett. There are no
security cameras in the lobby,

65
00:03:01,208 --> 00:03:03,875
but I found one in a liquor store
down the street.

66
00:03:04,083 --> 00:03:08,125
It got a shot of that pay phone
right when the 911 call came in.

67
00:03:09,375 --> 00:03:11,959
OK, canvass the neighbors,
see if anyone saw her in the building.

68
00:03:12,041 --> 00:03:13,375
Did you talk to next of kin yet?

69
00:03:13,458 --> 00:03:14,917
Well, the guy didn't have
any immediate family,

70
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,792
but he did list a cousin

71
00:03:16,875 --> 00:03:20,750
in Queens, a Maria Cordero,
as his in-case-of-emergency.

72
00:03:20,834 --> 00:03:23,333
All right, bring her in. Let's see if she
recognizes the woman in the photo.

73
00:03:23,792 --> 00:03:26,291
Castle and I will go to his place of work
and see what they know there.

74
00:03:26,375 --> 00:03:27,250
[Ryan] Right.

75
00:03:33,083 --> 00:03:35,125
[Maria] No. No.

76
00:03:35,500 --> 00:03:36,834
I'm sorry. I don't know her.

77
00:03:37,333 --> 00:03:39,834
Maria, did your cousin say anything
about having a girlfriend?

78
00:03:40,166 --> 00:03:43,166
No. He said he didn't have time.
Work was his life.

79
00:03:43,583 --> 00:03:44,750
Were the two of you close?

80
00:03:45,166 --> 00:03:46,458
Peter was like my brother.

81
00:03:47,917 --> 00:03:51,667
When he was 10, his parents died
in the big earthquake in Venezuela.

82
00:03:51,792 --> 00:03:54,875
My parents adopted him
and brought him to the States.

83
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,125
Did Peter say anything
about having any enemies?

84
00:03:58,458 --> 00:04:01,250
No. Peter was a sweet guy.

85
00:04:01,542 --> 00:04:03,250
He never forgot where he came from,

86
00:04:03,333 --> 00:04:06,375
not like those privileged,
silver-spoon types he worked with.

87
00:04:07,125 --> 00:04:10,125
He was a scholarship kid, so everything
he got was through hard work.

88
00:04:11,583 --> 00:04:12,792
When did you talk to him last?

89
00:04:13,333 --> 00:04:14,375
A few days ago.

90
00:04:15,625 --> 00:04:16,667
And how did he seem?

91
00:04:18,750 --> 00:04:19,792
Stressed, actually.

92
00:04:20,709 --> 00:04:23,792
-Did he say what about?
-No. I... I don't know.

93
00:04:23,875 --> 00:04:26,667
When I asked him,
he said something happened at work,

94
00:04:26,750 --> 00:04:28,542
but it wasn't anything he couldn't handle.

95
00:04:32,500 --> 00:04:34,834
[Beckett] JP Harding Investment Bank.

96
00:04:35,166 --> 00:04:38,458
This place is either
the engine of capitalism

97
00:04:38,542 --> 00:04:41,083
or the poster child
of greed and corruption,

98
00:04:41,166 --> 00:04:42,750
depending on which paper you read.

99
00:04:43,208 --> 00:04:45,542
Maybe the invisible hand of the market
killed Peter.

100
00:04:45,625 --> 00:04:47,291
It would explain
the lack of defensive wounds.

101
00:04:47,917 --> 00:04:50,959
You know, a prep school buddy of mine
came to work here out of college.

102
00:04:51,208 --> 00:04:54,166
He made a quarter of a billion dollars
before he was 30,

103
00:04:54,250 --> 00:04:55,917
retired and bought an island.

104
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:57,291
Wait, he owns his own island?

105
00:04:57,750 --> 00:04:59,709
We should definitely invite him
to the wedding.

106
00:05:00,250 --> 00:05:02,458
Excuse me. Hi, I'm Detective Beckett.

107
00:05:02,542 --> 00:05:04,458
We need to speak
with Peter Cordero's boss.

108
00:05:04,542 --> 00:05:05,625
Jamie Berman, I believe?

109
00:05:05,709 --> 00:05:07,125
Can I tell him what it's regarding?

110
00:05:08,291 --> 00:05:09,417
[Berman] <i>Killing.</i>

111
00:05:10,041 --> 00:05:11,625
Are you capable of it?

112
00:05:12,125 --> 00:05:15,792
Because if you are, I will make you rich.

113
00:05:16,750 --> 00:05:18,500
Goldman just poached

114
00:05:18,583 --> 00:05:22,250
consolidated's pension account
from us this morning.

115
00:05:22,333 --> 00:05:25,291
So, I am offering a bounty. Neal.

116
00:05:28,834 --> 00:05:29,959
A million dollars

117
00:05:30,041 --> 00:05:33,542
to the first son of a bitch at this table
to poach an account back from Goldman.

118
00:05:33,625 --> 00:05:37,375
It's open season, guys.
Open hunting season.

119
00:05:37,458 --> 00:05:40,583
I want you to make them bleed!

120
00:05:40,667 --> 00:05:41,834
-Excuse me.
-[banging on table]

121
00:05:41,917 --> 00:05:43,709
-[all] Yeah.
-Let's go!

122
00:05:43,792 --> 00:05:45,000
Excuse me, Mr. Berman!

123
00:05:46,709 --> 00:05:48,792
Detective Beckett.
Could we have a word, please?

124
00:05:48,875 --> 00:05:51,583
I told you SEC pricks
to talk to my lawyer.

125
00:05:51,667 --> 00:05:55,125
I'm not SEC. I'm NYPD. Homicide.

126
00:05:56,208 --> 00:05:57,250
Homicide?

127
00:05:59,375 --> 00:06:01,333
I apologize for the theatrics, Detective.

128
00:06:01,417 --> 00:06:04,709
But in this world, it gets results.

129
00:06:04,792 --> 00:06:07,875
And here I thought the stories of
Wall Street excess were exaggerated.

130
00:06:07,959 --> 00:06:11,709
Mr. Berman, I understand that
Peter Cordero reported directly to you.

131
00:06:11,792 --> 00:06:14,000
Yes, he was my best commodities trader.

132
00:06:14,083 --> 00:06:16,000
And one of the nicest guys
you'll ever meet.

133
00:06:16,417 --> 00:06:17,625
In this part of the world, anyway.

134
00:06:18,166 --> 00:06:20,083
-Do you have any leads?
-Uh, just one.

135
00:06:20,625 --> 00:06:22,959
Do you recognize this woman?

136
00:06:24,792 --> 00:06:26,417
No. I'm afraid I don't.

137
00:06:27,333 --> 00:06:31,583
Well, according to Peter Cordero's family,
he was having some trouble here at work.

138
00:06:31,667 --> 00:06:33,417
Do you have any idea
what that might have been?

139
00:06:33,500 --> 00:06:36,375
No idea. In fact, he was having
one of the best months he's ever had.

140
00:06:36,834 --> 00:06:38,375
And what about his clients?
Any problems there?

141
00:06:38,458 --> 00:06:43,166
No, Pete was a rising star.
His clients loved him. But...

142
00:06:44,250 --> 00:06:45,208
But what?

143
00:06:45,291 --> 00:06:49,333
Last week, I was taking
the stairs to the 65th floor.

144
00:06:49,542 --> 00:06:51,250
My version of exercise.

145
00:06:51,709 --> 00:06:55,625
And I saw Peter in the stairwell with
this guy who looked like a gangbanger,

146
00:06:55,709 --> 00:06:59,750
all tatted up his neck,
big scar on his cheek.

147
00:06:59,917 --> 00:07:01,834
Not the kind of guy
you ever see down here.

148
00:07:01,917 --> 00:07:05,667
And he was handing Peter
a package, about yay big.

149
00:07:06,250 --> 00:07:09,125
When Peter saw me,
he looked guilty as hell,

150
00:07:09,917 --> 00:07:11,750
so I just kept walking.

151
00:07:12,250 --> 00:07:14,709
-And you didn't ask him about it?
-Yeah, I did later,

152
00:07:14,792 --> 00:07:18,166
but he said it was nothing,
so I just let it go.

153
00:07:18,250 --> 00:07:22,250
You saw a gangbanger in your stairwell,
and you just let it go?

154
00:07:22,333 --> 00:07:24,542
This is a high-stress environment,
Detective.

155
00:07:25,083 --> 00:07:26,834
We don't ask a lot of questions about

156
00:07:26,917 --> 00:07:29,875
what our people do to...
to get through the day.

157
00:07:30,417 --> 00:07:32,625
OK. Do you think you could
describe him to a sketch artist?

158
00:07:32,709 --> 00:07:33,750
-I think so.
-[cellphone chimes]

159
00:07:33,834 --> 00:07:37,000
Great. I need the names of all
of Peter's associates here at work.

160
00:07:37,083 --> 00:07:38,041
Of course.

161
00:07:38,125 --> 00:07:39,583
Lanie's got something for us.

162
00:07:41,375 --> 00:07:43,333
[Lanie] Still no indication
of defensive wounds,

163
00:07:43,417 --> 00:07:46,750
but I did find this
when I checked his nails for DNA.

164
00:07:49,792 --> 00:07:53,250
Numbers, 7-2-3-5-9-8?

165
00:07:53,333 --> 00:07:56,458
He wrote it in pen,
I'd say four or five days ago.

166
00:07:56,542 --> 00:07:58,125
But that's not why I called you.

167
00:07:59,083 --> 00:08:00,125
Look at this.

168
00:08:01,291 --> 00:08:03,667
On his chest, next to the Y incision.

169
00:08:06,458 --> 00:08:07,417
Look at what?

170
00:08:07,500 --> 00:08:08,709
[Lanie] It's subtle.

171
00:08:09,375 --> 00:08:11,125
So subtle I almost missed it.

172
00:08:11,208 --> 00:08:14,000
But I think it explains
why his shirt was ripped open.

173
00:08:15,291 --> 00:08:16,542
You see this grainy material?

174
00:08:16,625 --> 00:08:17,625
[Beckett] Yeah.

175
00:08:17,709 --> 00:08:19,250
It's adhesive residue.

176
00:08:19,333 --> 00:08:22,417
In fact, there's a residue pattern
from his belly to his chest.

177
00:08:22,500 --> 00:08:24,208
-Adhesive?
-[Lanie] Mmm-hmm.

178
00:08:24,291 --> 00:08:27,500
Looking at the pattern, I'd say your
Wall Street wolf was wearing a wire.

179
00:08:30,458 --> 00:08:31,542
[Gates] <i>A wire?</i>

180
00:08:31,625 --> 00:08:32,750
[Beckett] Yes, sir. We believe our killer

181
00:08:32,834 --> 00:08:35,083
removed it from the victim's body
after shooting him.

182
00:08:35,166 --> 00:08:37,125
Do we know who he was wearing a wire for?

183
00:08:37,208 --> 00:08:40,125
Well, we're checking with other
branches of law enforcement right now.

184
00:08:40,208 --> 00:08:41,875
What about this woman
who called in the murder?

185
00:08:41,959 --> 00:08:43,500
Have you been able to identify her?

186
00:08:43,583 --> 00:08:45,917
You know, no one in Cordero's life
seems to know who she is,

187
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:47,792
and we have no idea where to find her.

188
00:08:48,417 --> 00:08:50,083
I think she just found us.

189
00:08:53,083 --> 00:08:54,208
Oh, Lord.

190
00:08:54,792 --> 00:08:57,166
I'd say your case just got
a lot more complicated.

191
00:08:57,250 --> 00:08:58,333
What is it, sir?

192
00:08:58,417 --> 00:09:00,417
They're from the US Attorney's Office.

193
00:09:00,500 --> 00:09:01,458
You know them?

194
00:09:01,542 --> 00:09:02,917
Uh, not the woman from the photo,

195
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:04,875
but the woman with her
is Elizabeth Weston,

196
00:09:05,583 --> 00:09:07,625
the US Attorney for the Southern District.

197
00:09:08,667 --> 00:09:11,792
She also happens to be my sister.

198
00:09:16,709 --> 00:09:18,667
{\an8}[theme music playing]

199
00:09:23,375 --> 00:09:24,333
{\an8}[Elizabeth] Victoria.

200
00:09:25,166 --> 00:09:27,875
{\an8}-Been a while.
-Yes, it has.

201
00:09:31,291 --> 00:09:32,375
{\an8}And who is this?

202
00:09:32,458 --> 00:09:35,125
{\an8}I'm Stephanie Goldmark.
Assistant US Attorney.

203
00:09:35,208 --> 00:09:36,959
{\an8}We're here about the Cordero murder.

204
00:09:37,917 --> 00:09:40,875
{\an8}Oh, that's funny, because we have
a few questions about that ourselves.

205
00:09:40,959 --> 00:09:42,500
{\an8}[Beckett] Starting, Ms. Goldmark,

206
00:09:42,583 --> 00:09:45,333
{\an8}with why you didn't identify yourself
when you made that 911 call

207
00:09:45,417 --> 00:09:46,375
{\an8}from the pay phone.

208
00:09:49,208 --> 00:09:50,709
{\an8}Because I instructed her not to.

209
00:09:52,083 --> 00:09:54,208
{\an8}I couldn't afford to compromise
our investigation.

210
00:09:54,667 --> 00:09:55,792
{\an8}What investigation?

211
00:09:59,041 --> 00:10:00,542
{\an8}Is there somewhere private we can talk?

212
00:10:02,709 --> 00:10:05,375
{\an8}All right, Elizabeth,
what's this all about?

213
00:10:06,291 --> 00:10:08,875
{\an8}Your victim was
a confidential informant for my office,

214
00:10:08,959 --> 00:10:11,834
{\an8}in an ongoing criminal investigation
of JP Harding.

215
00:10:11,917 --> 00:10:14,667
{\an8}Which is why Cordero was wearing a wire.

216
00:10:14,750 --> 00:10:17,500
{\an8}Yes, and since JP Harding
is on the 65th floor,

217
00:10:17,583 --> 00:10:19,041
{\an8}we couldn't monitor it live.

218
00:10:19,125 --> 00:10:21,667
{\an8}Cordero put it on every morning
and turned it in every night,

219
00:10:21,750 --> 00:10:23,458
{\an8}along with the attached recording device.

220
00:10:24,083 --> 00:10:25,375
{\an8}Only last night, he didn't.

221
00:10:25,959 --> 00:10:28,125
{\an8}I went to his apartment
to see what happened.

222
00:10:28,208 --> 00:10:30,333
{\an8}That's when I found him,
and the wire was gone.

223
00:10:30,959 --> 00:10:33,458
{\an8}We think that there was something key
to our investigation on that wire

224
00:10:33,542 --> 00:10:34,667
{\an8}and that's why he was killed.

225
00:10:34,750 --> 00:10:36,041
{\an8}So, where are you on leads?

226
00:10:38,875 --> 00:10:40,625
{\an8}Well, uh, ballistics is running the slug,

227
00:10:40,709 --> 00:10:44,458
{\an8}but right now the only lead is this
sketch provided by Mr. Cordero's boss,

228
00:10:44,542 --> 00:10:47,583
{\an8}Jamie Berman.
It's of a man he saw with our victim.

229
00:10:47,750 --> 00:10:49,959
{\an8}Well, I wouldn't put much credence
in that sketch.

230
00:10:50,417 --> 00:10:51,500
{\an8}Why? Why is that?

231
00:10:51,583 --> 00:10:53,834
{\an8}Because Berman is the target
of our investigation.

232
00:10:54,750 --> 00:10:57,125
{\an8}Jamie Berman, head of JP Harding?

233
00:10:57,208 --> 00:10:59,250
{\an8}We've been trying
to mount a case against him for years.

234
00:10:59,333 --> 00:11:00,959
{\an8}Insider trading, securities fraud.

235
00:11:01,041 --> 00:11:03,709
{\an8}We know he's doing it,
we just haven't been able to get proof.

236
00:11:03,792 --> 00:11:05,667
{\an8}Not without getting inside.

237
00:11:05,750 --> 00:11:07,000
{\an8}Berman's too careful.

238
00:11:07,333 --> 00:11:08,709
{\an8}But then last month, we caught a break.

239
00:11:09,208 --> 00:11:12,583
{\an8}Peter Cordero was found with a baggie
of cocaine during a stop-and-frisk.

240
00:11:12,875 --> 00:11:16,375
{\an8}With his priors for possession when
he was a teen, he was facing five to ten.

241
00:11:16,792 --> 00:11:18,333
{\an8}You got Cordero to play ball.

242
00:11:18,417 --> 00:11:20,375
{\an8}[Elizabeth] He jumped at an immunity deal.

243
00:11:20,458 --> 00:11:23,333
{\an8}He'd already gotten valuable
information on his wire recordings.

244
00:11:23,417 --> 00:11:26,625
{\an8}But yesterday he was scheduled
to meet with Berman one-on-one.

245
00:11:26,709 --> 00:11:29,208
{\an8}He was going to push him to open up
about some of his deals.

246
00:11:29,291 --> 00:11:31,041
{\an8}Cordero may have pushed too hard.

247
00:11:31,333 --> 00:11:34,458
{\an8}We think Berman made Cordero
in that meeting.

248
00:11:35,125 --> 00:11:38,125
{\an8}So, you think Jamie Berman's somehow
responsible for Cordero's death?

249
00:11:38,208 --> 00:11:41,625
{\an8}Well, if Berman knew
he had incriminated himself on tape...

250
00:11:41,709 --> 00:11:43,542
{\an8}He'd go to any lengths to get it back.

251
00:11:44,417 --> 00:11:46,625
{\an8}Victoria, this investigation is ongoing,

252
00:11:46,709 --> 00:11:49,709
{\an8}and exposing it to Mr. Berman
or anyone at JP Harding

253
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:51,583
{\an8}would break federal statutes.

254
00:11:51,667 --> 00:11:55,125
{\an8}But I thought that this was something
that you and your team needed to know.

255
00:11:55,875 --> 00:11:57,375
{\an8}I'd certainly say so.

256
00:11:57,458 --> 00:11:59,583
{\an8}[Elizabeth] So, I trust that you
will keep my office in the loop

257
00:11:59,667 --> 00:12:02,500
{\an8}if there are any significant developments.

258
00:12:02,917 --> 00:12:03,959
{\an8}Is that clear?

259
00:12:04,709 --> 00:12:05,667
{\an8}Of course.

260
00:12:13,792 --> 00:12:15,625
{\an8}Sir, I didn't...
I didn't know you had a sister.

261
00:12:16,667 --> 00:12:18,000
Oh, well, now you do.

262
00:12:24,166 --> 00:12:28,917
US Attorney for the Southern District.
That's a really big deal.

263
00:12:29,500 --> 00:12:31,458
Why hasn't Gates
ever mentioned her before?

264
00:12:31,542 --> 00:12:34,417
I don't know, but there was definitely
a subtle chill between the two of them.

265
00:12:34,500 --> 00:12:37,625
A subtle chill? More like a polar vortex.

266
00:12:38,417 --> 00:12:41,083
I'm guessing something happened
between them in the past.

267
00:12:41,625 --> 00:12:44,792
Something deeply personal that Gates
does not want us to know about.

268
00:12:46,166 --> 00:12:47,542
I'll give you a dollar if you ask her.

269
00:12:47,625 --> 00:12:49,166
-No way.
-Come on, aren't you curious?

270
00:12:49,250 --> 00:12:51,166
Yeah, but I like my job too much.

271
00:12:51,250 --> 00:12:54,250
Hey. So, uh, there may be something
to the US Attorney's theory.

272
00:12:54,333 --> 00:12:55,709
I checked Cordero's calendar.

273
00:12:55,792 --> 00:12:58,375
He was scheduled to meet with Berman
at 5:00 p.m. yesterday.

274
00:12:58,458 --> 00:13:00,000
And whatever they talked about,

275
00:13:00,083 --> 00:13:01,583
-it got heated.
-How do you know that?

276
00:13:01,667 --> 00:13:04,667
According to building security,
the two of them left shortly after,

277
00:13:04,917 --> 00:13:06,792
and seemed to be in the middle of a fight.

278
00:13:13,667 --> 00:13:16,375
Yeah, Peter and I had words yesterday.
So what?

279
00:13:16,458 --> 00:13:19,000
So you didn't tell us about that
when we talked this morning.

280
00:13:19,083 --> 00:13:20,250
'Cause it wasn't relevant.

281
00:13:20,333 --> 00:13:21,583
[Castle] How is it not relevant?

282
00:13:21,667 --> 00:13:24,208
A video shows you leaving together.
Two hours later, he's dead.

283
00:13:24,291 --> 00:13:26,375
It's not relevant
because I didn't kill him.

284
00:13:26,875 --> 00:13:29,083
Honestly, Detective,
what would be my motive?

285
00:13:31,208 --> 00:13:33,625
What exactly were the two of you
arguing about?

286
00:13:33,709 --> 00:13:34,667
A business deal.

287
00:13:35,959 --> 00:13:37,375
You looked pretty worked up
for a business deal.

288
00:13:37,458 --> 00:13:39,458
There was a lot riding on it.

289
00:13:39,542 --> 00:13:40,959
What was the deal?

290
00:13:41,041 --> 00:13:44,959
Client confidentiality, Detective.
I'm not at liberty to discuss it.

291
00:13:45,792 --> 00:13:47,417
You had a meeting with Peter before that.

292
00:13:47,500 --> 00:13:48,709
What were you speaking about then?

293
00:13:49,125 --> 00:13:50,458
Other financial matters.

294
00:13:50,542 --> 00:13:51,834
What kind of financial matters?

295
00:13:51,917 --> 00:13:53,208
Sensitive ones.

296
00:13:53,291 --> 00:13:54,875
Any discussion of which,

297
00:13:54,959 --> 00:13:58,417
even with law enforcement,
would be considered insider trading.

298
00:13:58,500 --> 00:14:00,959
-So, unless you have a subpoena...
-Who else was at the meeting?

299
00:14:01,792 --> 00:14:02,792
Just the two of us.

300
00:14:02,875 --> 00:14:04,333
And what did you do
after you left the lobby?

301
00:14:04,417 --> 00:14:07,208
Well, we walked up Lafayette
and parted ways around Spring.

302
00:14:07,291 --> 00:14:09,625
-[Beckett] What time was that?
-Around 6:15.

303
00:14:09,709 --> 00:14:11,000
And where were you between 8:00 and 10:00?

304
00:14:11,083 --> 00:14:14,166
At my usual table at Le Cirque.
Feel free to check.

305
00:14:15,125 --> 00:14:16,166
It's time.

306
00:14:16,625 --> 00:14:20,875
Now, if you'll excuse me,
I have a conference call with the Fed.

307
00:14:21,583 --> 00:14:26,083
Oh, and if you want to talk to me again,
Detective, call my lawyer.

308
00:14:32,166 --> 00:14:36,000
Le Cirque confirms that Berman
was there from 8:00 p.m. till 10:25.

309
00:14:36,542 --> 00:14:37,667
It couldn't have been him.

310
00:14:37,750 --> 00:14:39,834
Because a guy like Berman
isn't going to get his hands dirty.

311
00:14:39,917 --> 00:14:41,083
He's gonna hire someone.

312
00:14:41,500 --> 00:14:43,959
Your sister's right.
Berman is behind this.

313
00:14:44,417 --> 00:14:45,917
-Speaking of your sister...
-Let's not.

314
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,792
If Berman is behind this, he will do
everything he can to protect himself.

315
00:14:50,875 --> 00:14:52,250
[Beckett] Knowing that the feds
are watching him,

316
00:14:52,333 --> 00:14:54,291
he would be careful to cover his tracks.

317
00:14:54,375 --> 00:14:57,458
It's going to be next to impossible
to trace this back to him.

318
00:14:57,792 --> 00:15:00,500
So, all we're really sure of
is that the sketch he gave us

319
00:15:00,583 --> 00:15:03,041
is a load of fictitious crap
meant to send us in the wrong direction.

320
00:15:03,125 --> 00:15:05,250
It's not as fictitious as you think.

321
00:15:05,333 --> 00:15:07,709
I just got the ballistics back
on the bullet that killed Cordero.

322
00:15:07,792 --> 00:15:09,583
Striations match a slug

323
00:15:09,667 --> 00:15:12,458
that was pulled from a robbery shooting
at a bodega in the Bronx three months ago.

324
00:15:12,834 --> 00:15:14,250
The detectives couldn't make a case,

325
00:15:14,333 --> 00:15:18,417
but their three best suspects were
gang members, including this guy.

326
00:15:18,917 --> 00:15:21,000
-Same guy.
-Same gun.

327
00:15:21,250 --> 00:15:22,291
Hector Nunez?

328
00:15:22,375 --> 00:15:25,333
Yeah, runs the South Bronx territory
of Los Caballeros gang.

329
00:15:25,417 --> 00:15:28,291
Priors include assault,
attempted manslaughter and...

330
00:15:28,375 --> 00:15:30,208
conspiracy to distribute cocaine.

331
00:15:32,834 --> 00:15:33,875
[Maria] <i>No! You're wrong.</i>

332
00:15:34,250 --> 00:15:37,291
Peter had nothing to do with cocaine.
He hated drugs.

333
00:15:37,375 --> 00:15:39,583
Did you know he was arrested
last month for possession?

334
00:15:39,667 --> 00:15:42,500
That's impossible. I know Peter.
He'd never use that stuff.

335
00:15:42,583 --> 00:15:45,125
Are you sure, Maria? Because he was seen

336
00:15:45,208 --> 00:15:48,625
{\an8}receiving a package last week
from this guy.

337
00:15:50,208 --> 00:15:52,875
No. No. I... It can't be.

338
00:15:52,959 --> 00:15:54,000
You recognize him?

339
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,417
Hector Nunez. He was Peter's best friend
growing up.

340
00:15:57,500 --> 00:16:00,834
But then he got mixed up in a gang
and he tried to drag Peter in, too.

341
00:16:01,542 --> 00:16:04,417
Afterwards, Hector changed,
he became dangerous.

342
00:16:04,834 --> 00:16:07,083
Peter cut ties with him over a decade ago.

343
00:16:08,834 --> 00:16:11,041
Can you think of any reason
why he'd be back in Peter's life?

344
00:16:11,417 --> 00:16:14,625
Hector was a devil. Peter would have
never gotten mixed up with him again.

345
00:16:17,333 --> 00:16:18,875
Unless he didn't have a choice.

346
00:16:24,375 --> 00:16:26,250
[Latino music playing]

347
00:16:27,750 --> 00:16:29,709
[Castle] This is a long way
from Wall Street.

348
00:16:29,792 --> 00:16:30,875
This doesn't make any sense.

349
00:16:30,959 --> 00:16:34,500
If Peter was into drugs,
he had enough money

350
00:16:34,583 --> 00:16:35,542
to get them from downtown.

351
00:16:35,625 --> 00:16:37,458
Why would he risk
getting them from someone

352
00:16:37,542 --> 00:16:38,834
that he knew was dangerous?

353
00:16:38,917 --> 00:16:40,917
There it is. El Baile club.

354
00:16:41,458 --> 00:16:44,083
Yeah, unofficial headquarters
of Los Caballeros.

355
00:16:44,709 --> 00:16:45,792
Stick close.

356
00:16:45,875 --> 00:16:49,208
If Hector's as dangerous as advertised,
things might get a little hairy.

357
00:16:49,291 --> 00:16:53,125
"Hairy" is my middle name.
That sounded a lot better in my head.

358
00:17:03,417 --> 00:17:05,375
[Castle] Are you sure
this is the right place?

359
00:17:05,458 --> 00:17:07,792
Those guys don't look very dangerous.

360
00:17:09,625 --> 00:17:10,875
[Beckett] What about those guys?

361
00:17:11,667 --> 00:17:13,959
Ah, you mean the heavily armed ones.

362
00:17:17,125 --> 00:17:18,542
We're looking for Hector Nunez.

363
00:17:21,875 --> 00:17:22,792
Beckett.

364
00:17:31,583 --> 00:17:32,542
Hector Nunez.

365
00:17:33,875 --> 00:17:35,583
Detective Beckett, NYPD.

366
00:17:38,500 --> 00:17:40,375
Detective, you shouldn't be here.

367
00:17:40,458 --> 00:17:41,625
You could get hurt.

368
00:17:42,417 --> 00:17:43,875
Such a dangerous neighborhood.

369
00:17:45,041 --> 00:17:46,959
Yeah, well, maybe I should take you
down to my neighborhood.

370
00:17:47,583 --> 00:17:48,792
Let me save you some time.

371
00:17:48,875 --> 00:17:51,625
-Whatever it is, I didn't do it.
-[laughing]

372
00:17:52,041 --> 00:17:54,959
And I suppose you've never heard
of a Peter Cordero either.

373
00:17:56,083 --> 00:17:57,000
What about Peter?

374
00:17:58,458 --> 00:17:59,500
He's dead.

375
00:18:08,041 --> 00:18:09,166
Who did this?

376
00:18:09,458 --> 00:18:10,917
Well, we were thinking you...

377
00:18:12,291 --> 00:18:15,333
might be able to tell us.

378
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,625
I'd never hurt Peter.
He was my best friend.

379
00:18:20,500 --> 00:18:23,083
When we were kids, and the gang
wanted to take him, I wouldn't let 'em.

380
00:18:23,208 --> 00:18:24,458
I knew he could do better.

381
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,792
So, how did he end up
shot and killed with your gun?

382
00:18:29,959 --> 00:18:31,083
Something was going on with him.

383
00:18:31,166 --> 00:18:32,875
He called me last week,
first time in years.

384
00:18:33,834 --> 00:18:36,083
Said that he was into some deal
that was going to make him rich,

385
00:18:36,166 --> 00:18:37,542
but it was dangerous.

386
00:18:38,041 --> 00:18:40,166
And in case something went wrong,
he needed to protect himself.

387
00:18:40,750 --> 00:18:41,875
He said he needed a weapon.

388
00:18:42,291 --> 00:18:43,667
You're saying you gave him that gun?

389
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,583
Well, he said he couldn't buy one himself
'cause he was being watched all the time.

390
00:18:47,083 --> 00:18:49,417
Was that what was in the package
you gave him in the stairwell?

391
00:18:51,041 --> 00:18:52,250
[Hector] Yeah.

392
00:18:52,667 --> 00:18:55,041
That deal that he was into, was it drugs?

393
00:18:55,792 --> 00:18:57,625
Not drugs. Money.

394
00:18:58,083 --> 00:18:59,291
Something to do with bank accounts.

395
00:18:59,959 --> 00:19:01,208
Bank accounts?

396
00:19:01,291 --> 00:19:02,333
[Hector] Last Thursday night,

397
00:19:02,417 --> 00:19:05,458
he came to me,
said he needed one last favor.

398
00:19:06,709 --> 00:19:10,166
He needed me to take an envelope
to a manager at some bank in Midtown,

399
00:19:10,750 --> 00:19:12,125
Suisse Federal something.

400
00:19:13,125 --> 00:19:15,125
Why couldn't he just do it himself?
Why would he need you?

401
00:19:15,458 --> 00:19:18,125
Said he couldn't afford to be seen
at the bank. It was too risky.

402
00:19:18,792 --> 00:19:20,208
What was in the envelope?

403
00:19:20,291 --> 00:19:22,875
He said something
about transfer instructions.

404
00:19:23,375 --> 00:19:26,542
It was sealed, but there was a bank
account number written on the outside.

405
00:19:26,834 --> 00:19:27,917
Do you remember the number?

406
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,083
I wrote it down,
in case something went wrong.

407
00:19:31,166 --> 00:19:32,208
I guess it did.

408
00:19:36,375 --> 00:19:38,709
Not the same six-digit number
that was on his hand.

409
00:19:39,583 --> 00:19:41,375
After I took the envelope to the bank,

410
00:19:41,458 --> 00:19:43,583
I called Peter at work
to confirm it was done.

411
00:19:44,792 --> 00:19:46,041
That's the last time we talked.

412
00:19:51,166 --> 00:19:52,709
[Beckett] <i>Hector's alibi checks </i><i>out.</i>

413
00:19:53,208 --> 00:19:57,125
{\an8}He was at Lady of Mercy Nursing Home
visiting his mom when Peter was killed.

414
00:19:57,458 --> 00:20:01,667
{\an8}Mysterious financial transactions,
a deal so dangerous he needed a gun?

415
00:20:02,208 --> 00:20:05,458
Seems to me there's a lot more to your
sister's star witness than she knew.

416
00:20:05,750 --> 00:20:08,375
Than she knew,
or than she chose to tell us about.

417
00:20:09,041 --> 00:20:10,041
Sir?

418
00:20:11,333 --> 00:20:13,792
Yo, I talked to the manager
at Suisse Federal.

419
00:20:13,875 --> 00:20:16,166
He confirmed that a bank account
with those numbers exists,

420
00:20:16,250 --> 00:20:18,291
but he refused to give out
any information on it.

421
00:20:18,375 --> 00:20:20,917
Did he at least acknowledge
it was Peter Cordero's account?

422
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,000
He couldn't,
because he didn't know himself.

423
00:20:23,542 --> 00:20:25,333
It's a numbered account,
set up for privacy.

424
00:20:25,417 --> 00:20:27,792
So the only way that anyone
can access it is with a password.

425
00:20:27,875 --> 00:20:29,792
So there's no way to know
what Cordero was doing.

426
00:20:29,875 --> 00:20:30,834
No.

427
00:20:31,166 --> 00:20:32,250
Unless...

428
00:20:33,667 --> 00:20:35,000
Six digits...

429
00:20:36,583 --> 00:20:38,250
Seems kind of password-y to me.

430
00:20:40,083 --> 00:20:42,125
[typing]

431
00:20:42,208 --> 00:20:43,125
OK, read it to me.

432
00:20:43,208 --> 00:20:46,041
7-2-3-5-9-8.

433
00:20:46,583 --> 00:20:47,667
Come on.

434
00:20:49,458 --> 00:20:50,625
[Castle] We're in!

435
00:20:50,709 --> 00:20:52,417
Castle, you've done it again.

436
00:20:53,792 --> 00:20:54,834
What's it say?

437
00:20:55,750 --> 00:20:57,166
[beeps]

438
00:20:57,250 --> 00:20:58,542
The balance is zero dollars.

439
00:20:58,625 --> 00:21:01,333
Zero dollars?
That doesn't seem very dangerous.

440
00:21:01,917 --> 00:21:03,083
Feels like the end of a treasure hunt

441
00:21:03,166 --> 00:21:05,166
where you open up the chest
and it's just full of sand.

442
00:21:05,417 --> 00:21:08,250
Wait. Go to the day
Mr. Nunez claims he did the transfer.

443
00:21:08,333 --> 00:21:09,375
March 21st.

444
00:21:11,291 --> 00:21:14,291
Oh, my God. $25 million.

445
00:21:14,375 --> 00:21:16,750
Whoa! That's some expensive sand.

446
00:21:16,834 --> 00:21:20,917
Looks like it came into the account
the day before at 8:34 in the morning.

447
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:22,709
And then Hector transferred it out.

448
00:21:23,208 --> 00:21:26,792
A secret $25-million transfer
that got him killed.

449
00:21:27,709 --> 00:21:29,834
What the hell was Cordero into?

450
00:21:33,166 --> 00:21:34,041
All right.

451
00:21:34,959 --> 00:21:36,458
-Any luck?
-[Esposito] No.

452
00:21:36,542 --> 00:21:38,417
I just talked
to the head of Suisse Federal Bank.

453
00:21:38,917 --> 00:21:40,166
Given international banking regulations,

454
00:21:40,250 --> 00:21:42,667
there's no way to tell where that money
came from or where it went.

455
00:21:42,750 --> 00:21:44,417
Or if the money is even Cordero's.

456
00:21:44,500 --> 00:21:46,125
He could've been moving it
for someone else.

457
00:21:46,208 --> 00:21:48,166
Sir, if this transaction
was somehow responsible

458
00:21:48,250 --> 00:21:50,375
for Cordero's death and we can't track it,

459
00:21:50,458 --> 00:21:53,792
then we may never be able
to find his killer.

460
00:21:54,709 --> 00:21:56,125
There may be another way.

461
00:22:00,083 --> 00:22:01,959
-$25 million?
-[Gates] That's right.

462
00:22:02,041 --> 00:22:04,792
And your informant went to
a great deal of trouble to keep it secret.

463
00:22:05,291 --> 00:22:07,000
And you have no idea
where the money came from?

464
00:22:07,333 --> 00:22:09,250
No, but odds are it's what got him killed.

465
00:22:10,750 --> 00:22:11,750
Elizabeth,

466
00:22:11,834 --> 00:22:13,417
if you know anything about this...

467
00:22:14,083 --> 00:22:15,917
Of course I don't know
anything about this.

468
00:22:17,500 --> 00:22:19,166
[scoffs] You don't believe me.

469
00:22:19,250 --> 00:22:21,875
-Do you blame me?
-I didn't know.

470
00:22:22,083 --> 00:22:23,792
And given the lengths he went
to hide the transaction,

471
00:22:23,875 --> 00:22:25,709
he clearly didn't want me to know.

472
00:22:25,792 --> 00:22:27,000
OK. Fine.

473
00:22:27,083 --> 00:22:29,583
Then I'm going to need access
to Peter Cordero's wire recordings.

474
00:22:29,667 --> 00:22:30,500
For what?

475
00:22:30,583 --> 00:22:32,083
Because there may be
something on those tapes

476
00:22:32,166 --> 00:22:34,041
-that's relevant to his murder.
-We went through them.

477
00:22:34,125 --> 00:22:35,834
If there was anything on there,
we would've heard it.

478
00:22:35,917 --> 00:22:37,792
Not if you weren't listening for it.

479
00:22:39,709 --> 00:22:42,041
I'm sorry, Victoria,
but those wire recordings

480
00:22:42,125 --> 00:22:44,667
are a privileged part
of a confidential investigation.

481
00:22:44,750 --> 00:22:46,208
I can't give you access.

482
00:22:46,291 --> 00:22:47,458
Can't, or won't?

483
00:22:48,625 --> 00:22:49,875
Do you think I'm blind?

484
00:22:50,333 --> 00:22:53,625
Bringing down someone as big as Berman,
you'd be able to write your own ticket.

485
00:22:54,041 --> 00:22:55,083
The Mayor's Office.

486
00:22:55,166 --> 00:22:58,083
Attorney General.
Everything you always dreamed of.

487
00:22:59,417 --> 00:23:00,917
But you need Cordero's testimony.

488
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:04,417
And if he was involved in anything dirty
while acting as a witness,

489
00:23:04,709 --> 00:23:06,250
it would jeopardize your whole case.

490
00:23:06,542 --> 00:23:08,000
That's why you won't give us those tapes,

491
00:23:08,083 --> 00:23:10,166
because you're afraid
of what we might find.

492
00:23:10,250 --> 00:23:14,000
Taking down a shark like Berman would
send a signal to every fraudulent actor

493
00:23:14,083 --> 00:23:15,583
in the financial markets.

494
00:23:15,667 --> 00:23:17,834
I have to think about the greater good.

495
00:23:17,917 --> 00:23:20,333
Oh, is that what you tell yourself
so you can sleep at night?

496
00:23:23,917 --> 00:23:25,750
You could never play the game, could you?

497
00:23:26,583 --> 00:23:28,500
It's why you're stuck behind a desk

498
00:23:28,583 --> 00:23:31,250
instead of running the entire force
down at One PP.

499
00:23:31,333 --> 00:23:33,417
I am not stuck anywhere.

500
00:23:33,750 --> 00:23:37,875
And I will never, never apologize
for doing my job to the letter of the law.

501
00:23:39,208 --> 00:23:42,083
Now, I'm gonna need those wire recordings.

502
00:23:42,834 --> 00:23:45,291
Or do I have to go over your head?

503
00:23:53,750 --> 00:23:56,125
Anything that you find,
you bring it to me first.

504
00:23:56,583 --> 00:23:57,792
Do you understand?

505
00:23:58,583 --> 00:24:01,583
I will not have you screw up
another one of my investigations.

506
00:24:03,083 --> 00:24:04,375
[door bangs shut]

507
00:24:09,500 --> 00:24:10,667
Let's not put her on the list.

508
00:24:11,083 --> 00:24:12,041
Yeah.

509
00:24:17,333 --> 00:24:19,125
[indistinct conversation]

510
00:24:20,834 --> 00:24:23,208
[sighs] I feel bad for Gates.

511
00:24:23,583 --> 00:24:25,083
My sisters could never work together.

512
00:24:25,458 --> 00:24:27,417
I tell you, when the two of them
went at it... Oof!

513
00:24:28,125 --> 00:24:29,875
I wouldn't mind going at it
with Gates' sister.

514
00:24:30,125 --> 00:24:31,166
Oh, yeah?

515
00:24:31,250 --> 00:24:33,250
How would you like having Gates
as your sister-in-law?

516
00:24:36,250 --> 00:24:37,291
What?

517
00:24:37,583 --> 00:24:38,750
I think I got something.

518
00:24:40,166 --> 00:24:41,333
[Esposito] So, on March 21st,

519
00:24:41,417 --> 00:24:44,333
Peter Cordero's wire
picked up a call from Hector Nunez

520
00:24:44,417 --> 00:24:46,750
to confirm that the transfer was done.

521
00:24:46,834 --> 00:24:48,792
The call came in at 9:25 a.m.

522
00:24:48,875 --> 00:24:50,125
That's pretty much what Hector said.

523
00:24:50,208 --> 00:24:52,500
Yeah. But listen to the next two calls
that Peter makes.

524
00:24:53,625 --> 00:24:54,959
[Peter speaking Spanish]

525
00:24:55,041 --> 00:24:57,250
[Esposito] He's saying, "I'm calling
on behalf of Armando Garcia.

526
00:24:57,333 --> 00:24:59,250
I want to make sure
that his money was received.

527
00:24:59,500 --> 00:25:00,875
And can you confirm the amount?"

528
00:25:00,959 --> 00:25:02,000
[Peter thanks in Spanish]

529
00:25:02,083 --> 00:25:03,834
Then he says, "Thank you,"
and then hangs up.

530
00:25:04,208 --> 00:25:05,375
Who's Armando Garcia?

531
00:25:05,458 --> 00:25:08,125
I checked with JP Harding, they don't
have any clients by that name.

532
00:25:08,709 --> 00:25:10,083
So it wasn't company business.

533
00:25:10,375 --> 00:25:12,125
No. Now listen to the second call.

534
00:25:12,583 --> 00:25:13,583
[Peter] <i>Is he in?</i>

535
00:25:13,667 --> 00:25:15,333
<i>It's Peter Cordero calling.</i>

536
00:25:16,667 --> 00:25:19,125
<i>Hey, everything's taken care of.</i>
<i>But we're running out of time.</i>

537
00:25:19,917 --> 00:25:21,583
<i>We need to get this done</i>
<i>in the next couple of days.</i>

538
00:25:22,917 --> 00:25:23,917
<i>Is that gonna be a problem?</i>

539
00:25:25,917 --> 00:25:26,834
<i>Good.</i>

540
00:25:27,417 --> 00:25:29,792
"Everything's taken care of."
That must be about the $25 million.

541
00:25:30,125 --> 00:25:33,542
But what exactly was getting done
in the next couple of days?

542
00:25:33,625 --> 00:25:35,041
And how did it get him killed?

543
00:25:35,125 --> 00:25:36,417
We need to find Armando Garcia.

544
00:25:36,500 --> 00:25:38,417
Yeah, unfortunately,
it's a pretty common name.

545
00:25:38,500 --> 00:25:40,709
There are hundreds of
Armando Garcias in the US alone.

546
00:25:40,792 --> 00:25:42,333
It's gonna be hard to narrow it down.

547
00:25:42,417 --> 00:25:44,166
Unless we can find out who he was calling.

548
00:25:44,250 --> 00:25:46,166
At 9:25, Peter would've been at work.

549
00:25:46,250 --> 00:25:48,291
He would've made those phone calls
from his desk phone.

550
00:25:48,375 --> 00:25:49,500
If we can get those phone records,

551
00:25:49,583 --> 00:25:50,792
they could tell us
what he was involved in.

552
00:25:52,375 --> 00:25:55,000
I'll put in for a warrant.
Hopefully we'll get it by morning.

553
00:25:56,417 --> 00:25:59,834
You know, I was thinking about
Gates' sister, and it got me wondering.

554
00:25:59,917 --> 00:26:02,375
Do you have any family I don't know about?

555
00:26:02,458 --> 00:26:03,959
[laughs] I don't think so.

556
00:26:04,291 --> 00:26:07,875
Good. Because this
"intimate" wedding of ours...

557
00:26:07,959 --> 00:26:09,458
Oh, no. You, too?

558
00:26:09,542 --> 00:26:11,834
-How bad is yours?
-I've got over 100.

559
00:26:12,583 --> 00:26:15,125
I'm at 300 over that.

560
00:26:15,208 --> 00:26:16,083
Four hundred?

561
00:26:16,166 --> 00:26:18,417
Well, to be fair, I am world famous...

562
00:26:19,333 --> 00:26:20,250
Ish.

563
00:26:20,709 --> 00:26:22,750
I mean, look, it's a first draft.
It just needs some editing.

564
00:26:22,834 --> 00:26:24,834
Just brutal, ruthless editing.

565
00:26:25,542 --> 00:26:27,125
Castle, Michael Connelly?

566
00:26:27,208 --> 00:26:28,792
You haven't seen him in over a year.

567
00:26:28,875 --> 00:26:31,500
And do you not remember
what he wrote about your last book?

568
00:26:31,750 --> 00:26:33,333
No. I think we got our first edit.

569
00:26:33,417 --> 00:26:34,875
Uh, well, I have to invite Connelly,

570
00:26:34,959 --> 00:26:38,083
because if he finds out
that Jonathan Kellerman made the cut...

571
00:26:38,166 --> 00:26:39,250
And I have to invite Kellerman,

572
00:26:39,333 --> 00:26:41,041
because I have to invite
Wes Craven and Stephen King.

573
00:26:41,291 --> 00:26:42,542
Yeah, but we've got to start somewhere.

574
00:26:42,625 --> 00:26:44,417
Well, I think I know where.

575
00:26:44,500 --> 00:26:45,625
Aunt Theresa?

576
00:26:46,125 --> 00:26:48,667
Really? After what she posted
about me on Facebook?

577
00:26:48,750 --> 00:26:49,792
She took it down.

578
00:26:51,125 --> 00:26:52,083
Fine.

579
00:26:52,166 --> 00:26:54,625
What are we gonna do?
We can't have 500 people at the wedding.

580
00:26:54,917 --> 00:26:56,417
Hello, you two.

581
00:26:56,542 --> 00:27:00,166
Ah, help has arrived in the form
of a neutral third party.

582
00:27:00,417 --> 00:27:02,917
Someone who was born to be
brutal and ruthless.

583
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,667
Thank you. Thank you. A-ha.

584
00:27:05,750 --> 00:27:08,917
Oh, [chuckles] we're still working
on the invite list, I see.

585
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,458
Yes, actually.
And would you mind joining us?

586
00:27:11,959 --> 00:27:14,375
Love to. Let me get my list.

587
00:27:14,458 --> 00:27:16,750
Oh, you know, I had no idea
how many people

588
00:27:16,834 --> 00:27:20,083
I needed to invite
until I wrote them all down. Hmm!

589
00:27:26,250 --> 00:27:27,250
[sighs]

590
00:28:16,917 --> 00:28:17,750
[elevator bell dings]

591
00:28:17,834 --> 00:28:21,166
Good news. I cross-referenced
my mother's list with my list.

592
00:28:21,250 --> 00:28:22,458
We have three names in common.

593
00:28:22,750 --> 00:28:25,625
Wow, three names. That's great.

594
00:28:25,709 --> 00:28:28,834
That takes us from, what, 585 to 582?

595
00:28:29,375 --> 00:28:31,166
There's gotta be a better way
to cut this down.

596
00:28:31,250 --> 00:28:32,750
Ryan, you guys kept your wedding small.

597
00:28:32,834 --> 00:28:34,583
What was it, like, 100 people?

598
00:28:34,667 --> 00:28:36,125
Yeah. That's all we could afford.

599
00:28:36,208 --> 00:28:38,458
How did you contain the list?

600
00:28:39,750 --> 00:28:41,375
I have a lot of relatives who hate me now.

601
00:28:42,375 --> 00:28:46,208
So, the warrant on Cordero's phone
finally came through.

602
00:28:46,291 --> 00:28:49,000
Whoever this Armando Garcia is,
it has something to do with Venezuela.

603
00:28:49,083 --> 00:28:50,625
That's where Peter was from.

604
00:28:50,709 --> 00:28:52,625
Yeah. That first call,
confirming the $25 million?

605
00:28:52,709 --> 00:28:54,041
It was made to a bank in Venezuela.

606
00:28:54,125 --> 00:28:55,375
The second call was to

607
00:28:55,458 --> 00:28:56,750
the Venezuela consulate
right here in the city.

608
00:28:56,834 --> 00:29:00,250
It was the direct line of
a senior official there, a Luis Delgado.

609
00:29:02,417 --> 00:29:04,750
[Beckett] Clandestine wire transfers,

610
00:29:04,834 --> 00:29:08,542
a high-ranking consulate official,
all circling around

611
00:29:08,625 --> 00:29:10,750
the mysterious Armando Garcia.

612
00:29:11,333 --> 00:29:12,542
What was Cordero doing?

613
00:29:12,834 --> 00:29:14,709
I don't know,
but I can't wait to find out.

614
00:29:14,792 --> 00:29:17,458
Swiss bank accounts,
secret money transfers,

615
00:29:18,125 --> 00:29:20,583
it's got international intrigue
written all over it.

616
00:29:21,417 --> 00:29:24,500
It was just a simple passport request.

617
00:29:24,583 --> 00:29:26,291
-A passport request?
-[Delgado] Yes.

618
00:29:26,375 --> 00:29:27,667
That's why he called.

619
00:29:27,750 --> 00:29:29,333
What about the money?

620
00:29:29,834 --> 00:29:32,458
I'm afraid I don't know anything
about any money.

621
00:29:32,834 --> 00:29:36,375
Really? I suppose you've never heard
of Armando Garcia either.

622
00:29:36,458 --> 00:29:40,208
Armando Garcia? Yes, of course
I've heard of Armando Garcia.

623
00:29:40,291 --> 00:29:41,125
[both] You have?

624
00:29:41,625 --> 00:29:43,750
That's who I got the passport for.

625
00:29:43,959 --> 00:29:46,917
Wait, I thought that the passport
was for Peter Cordero.

626
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:50,458
Yes, Peter Cordero. Armando Garcia.

627
00:29:51,750 --> 00:29:52,917
It's the same guy.

628
00:29:54,625 --> 00:29:56,458
When his aunt and uncle
moved him to New York,

629
00:29:56,542 --> 00:29:58,500
he changed his name to fit in.

630
00:29:58,750 --> 00:30:02,375
But his birth name was Armando Garcia.

631
00:30:04,583 --> 00:30:06,500
He was sending the money to himself.

632
00:30:07,208 --> 00:30:11,041
And you said he was requesting a passport.
A Venezuelan passport?

633
00:30:11,125 --> 00:30:12,166
[Delgado] Yes, of course.

634
00:30:12,542 --> 00:30:15,875
Cordero applied to reestablish
his Venezuelan citizenship

635
00:30:16,291 --> 00:30:18,583
and we were more than happy to oblige.

636
00:30:18,834 --> 00:30:20,417
Under the name Armando Garcia.

637
00:30:20,500 --> 00:30:25,417
That's right. But there was
something odd about his request.

638
00:30:25,959 --> 00:30:28,709
He asked to pick up the passport
in Mexico City.

639
00:30:28,792 --> 00:30:31,041
Mexico City? Did he say why?

640
00:30:31,125 --> 00:30:35,542
No. But he was supposed to get it
yesterday at our embassy there.

641
00:30:35,959 --> 00:30:38,875
He had booked a flight from
Mexico City to Caracas that night.

642
00:30:40,375 --> 00:30:41,583
[Gates] <i>He was running away?</i>

643
00:30:41,667 --> 00:30:45,750
Not just running away.
Changing his identity completely.

644
00:30:45,834 --> 00:30:47,542
He never intended to testify.

645
00:30:47,625 --> 00:30:50,208
He was just stringing my sister along
until he could escape.

646
00:30:50,458 --> 00:30:52,166
All he had to do was drive to Mexico.

647
00:30:52,250 --> 00:30:54,875
Once he boarded that flight to Caracas
under his new identity,

648
00:30:54,959 --> 00:30:56,583
paid for it with a new credit card,

649
00:30:56,667 --> 00:30:59,542
Peter Cordero would cease to exist.
Your sister would never find him.

650
00:30:59,625 --> 00:31:01,583
[Beckett] But he wasn't going to leave
empty-handed.

651
00:31:01,667 --> 00:31:03,500
So he made one last desperate deal.

652
00:31:03,583 --> 00:31:06,500
The night he was killed,
he was preparing to disappear forever,

653
00:31:06,625 --> 00:31:08,166
along with the $25 million.

654
00:31:08,250 --> 00:31:12,208
You don't just conjure $25 million out
of thin air. It came from somewhere.

655
00:31:12,291 --> 00:31:14,041
And given the circumstances,
nowhere legal.

656
00:31:14,291 --> 00:31:16,709
If you're right,
it'll destroy my sister's case.

657
00:31:16,792 --> 00:31:18,625
All his testimony will be tainted.

658
00:31:18,709 --> 00:31:20,542
So, what do you want us to do?

659
00:31:22,083 --> 00:31:23,333
Find the truth.

660
00:31:24,125 --> 00:31:26,667
In order to do that, we need to know
where the money came from.

661
00:31:26,750 --> 00:31:28,000
And there's no way to find out.

662
00:31:28,083 --> 00:31:29,625
[Ryan] Uh, maybe there is.

663
00:31:29,709 --> 00:31:32,291
You know that secret
Armando Garcia credit card,

664
00:31:32,375 --> 00:31:34,583
you know, the one he used
to buy the plane tickets?

665
00:31:34,667 --> 00:31:35,959
We found another charge on it.

666
00:31:36,041 --> 00:31:39,417
For a computer station
he rented at an Internet café.

667
00:31:39,500 --> 00:31:43,250
He was there the exact same time that
$25 million showed up in his account.

668
00:31:43,500 --> 00:31:45,750
So whatever he was doing there
was related to the transfer.

669
00:31:45,834 --> 00:31:47,083
[Ryan] That café has security video.

670
00:31:47,166 --> 00:31:48,875
If we can get a look
at the computer screen

671
00:31:48,959 --> 00:31:50,500
or Peter's fingers on the keyboard,

672
00:31:50,583 --> 00:31:52,166
maybe we can figure out
where that money came from.

673
00:31:52,625 --> 00:31:53,875
And why he was killed.

674
00:32:04,667 --> 00:32:07,166
Sir, uh, you OK?

675
00:32:07,458 --> 00:32:10,333
Uh, just trying to figure out
how to tell my sister

676
00:32:10,417 --> 00:32:12,917
her case is compromised
without her blaming me.

677
00:32:13,583 --> 00:32:16,000
Why would she blame you?
I mean, you're just doing your job.

678
00:32:17,667 --> 00:32:18,625
There's a history.

679
00:32:19,333 --> 00:32:20,333
Mmm.

680
00:32:21,083 --> 00:32:22,583
1998.

681
00:32:23,458 --> 00:32:26,333
I had just been made
head of Internal Affairs.

682
00:32:26,417 --> 00:32:28,250
Elizabeth was in the DA's Office.

683
00:32:29,083 --> 00:32:31,458
We called ourselves the dynamic duo.

684
00:32:32,625 --> 00:32:34,834
At the time, Elizabeth was closing in

685
00:32:34,917 --> 00:32:39,291
on a heroin ring in East New York
and they had an undercover inside.

686
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,500
His testimony was key to the case, but...

687
00:32:43,917 --> 00:32:44,750
He was dirty?

688
00:32:45,375 --> 00:32:46,792
He'd skimmed a few eight balls

689
00:32:46,875 --> 00:32:49,709
off the very bust Elizabeth
was building her case around.

690
00:32:50,709 --> 00:32:52,583
When my office caught him reselling it,

691
00:32:52,667 --> 00:32:55,834
she came to me,
begged me not to file charges.

692
00:32:56,208 --> 00:32:58,417
Asked me to think of the greater good.

693
00:33:01,875 --> 00:33:03,500
I did my job that day, too.

694
00:33:07,959 --> 00:33:09,792
Hasn't been the same between us since.

695
00:33:13,291 --> 00:33:15,000
-[knocks on door]
-[Esposito] Security video is in.

696
00:33:18,458 --> 00:33:19,417
[Ryan] There's Cordero.

697
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,333
[Castle] But the angle is over
the monitor, we can't see the screen.

698
00:33:22,417 --> 00:33:25,500
Or the keyboard.
There's no way to tell what he's doing.

699
00:33:26,375 --> 00:33:28,041
Wait a minute, wait. Who is that?

700
00:33:30,792 --> 00:33:32,125
Take a look at the time code.

701
00:33:33,041 --> 00:33:34,083
{\an8}It's right around the moment

702
00:33:34,166 --> 00:33:37,250
the $25 million got into
Cordero's Swiss bank account.

703
00:33:39,166 --> 00:33:41,208
It's him.
He transferred the money to Cordero.

704
00:33:41,458 --> 00:33:44,125
A covert transfer
from an untraceable IP address,

705
00:33:44,375 --> 00:33:45,834
paid for under an alias.

706
00:33:45,917 --> 00:33:48,875
{\an8}These people took extraordinary measures
to keep from being discovered.

707
00:33:50,125 --> 00:33:52,458
{\an8}Zoom in. Freeze it.

708
00:33:53,333 --> 00:33:56,333
Wait. That's Cordero's boss.
That's Jamie Berman.

709
00:33:56,417 --> 00:33:59,208
Why would Berman
secretly pay Cordero $25 million?

710
00:34:00,250 --> 00:34:01,917
Only one reason.
Cordero must've told Berman

711
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,208
about the US Attorney's investigation.

712
00:34:04,291 --> 00:34:06,709
And Berman was paying him
to throw the case.

713
00:34:12,375 --> 00:34:14,625
If Berman was paying Cordero
to throw the case,

714
00:34:14,709 --> 00:34:17,333
then the recordings from his wire
were all lies.

715
00:34:17,417 --> 00:34:20,875
Berman was feeding
the US Attorney's Office false evidence.

716
00:34:20,959 --> 00:34:23,709
And if Elizabeth
was building her case on that,

717
00:34:23,792 --> 00:34:25,625
she would've been torn apart
by the defense.

718
00:34:25,917 --> 00:34:29,500
Keeping her out of Berman's business
for quite a while, if not forever.

719
00:34:29,583 --> 00:34:32,000
All this time, my sister thought
she was taking down Berman,

720
00:34:32,083 --> 00:34:33,875
when he was really
trying to take down her.

721
00:34:34,333 --> 00:34:37,625
The one thing it doesn't explain,
though, is why Cordero was killed.

722
00:34:38,458 --> 00:34:39,959
Berman's up to his eyeballs in this.

723
00:34:40,291 --> 00:34:42,083
You bring him in here
and find out what he knows.

724
00:34:42,166 --> 00:34:43,166
Yes, sir.

725
00:34:46,500 --> 00:34:48,000
[Berman] I'm afraid you're mistaken,
Detective.

726
00:34:48,542 --> 00:34:51,333
I didn't transfer any money
to Mr. Cordero.

727
00:34:51,458 --> 00:34:54,250
Certainly not $25 million.

728
00:34:54,542 --> 00:34:56,208
And yet, the moment
that you pressed that button,

729
00:34:56,291 --> 00:34:58,709
$25 million showed up
in Cordero's account.

730
00:34:58,792 --> 00:35:01,667
You have no evidence that account
belongs to Mr. Cordero.

731
00:35:01,750 --> 00:35:04,792
Just as you have no evidence
that money came from my client.

732
00:35:04,875 --> 00:35:07,000
Then why were you with him
in that Internet café?

733
00:35:07,291 --> 00:35:08,500
They have good coffee.

734
00:35:08,834 --> 00:35:11,291
I think there's a reason
why you went out of your way

735
00:35:11,375 --> 00:35:13,875
to keep that transfer a secret.
I think Cordero told you

736
00:35:13,959 --> 00:35:16,834
that he was being forced to be
an informant for the US Attorney.

737
00:35:17,166 --> 00:35:19,625
And knowing that he would
never be able to work again,

738
00:35:19,709 --> 00:35:20,834
he struck a deal with you.

739
00:35:21,375 --> 00:35:24,917
$25 million
in exchange for providing false evidence

740
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:26,667
to undermine the investigation.

741
00:35:27,083 --> 00:35:29,834
-What investigation?
-You know exactly what investigation.

742
00:35:30,083 --> 00:35:32,166
And when you found out
that he wasn't going to finish the job,

743
00:35:32,250 --> 00:35:34,417
that he was going to leave town
and take your money with him,

744
00:35:34,500 --> 00:35:35,709
you had him killed.

745
00:35:35,959 --> 00:35:38,291
And then you took the wire
that you knew he was wearing

746
00:35:38,417 --> 00:35:40,875
to cover up any recorded evidence
of the murder.

747
00:35:40,959 --> 00:35:43,000
That's all wild speculation.

748
00:35:43,542 --> 00:35:46,250
Not to mention you have your facts wrong.

749
00:35:48,250 --> 00:35:51,959
You said Peter was wearing his wire
when he was killed?

750
00:35:52,250 --> 00:35:54,041
I'm afraid that's not possible.

751
00:35:55,166 --> 00:35:56,709
So you knew about the wire?

752
00:35:56,792 --> 00:35:59,083
-You admit you were in on it with him?
-Jamie...

753
00:35:59,417 --> 00:36:01,208
It's not illegal to know.

754
00:36:01,291 --> 00:36:04,375
And I guarantee you,
you will never link me to that payment.

755
00:36:04,458 --> 00:36:06,625
So you'll never be able
to prove witness tampering.

756
00:36:06,917 --> 00:36:08,667
But, yeah, I knew about the wire.

757
00:36:09,166 --> 00:36:11,417
And Peter wasn't wearing it
when he was killed

758
00:36:11,500 --> 00:36:13,792
because he had already left it
for the feds

759
00:36:13,875 --> 00:36:16,083
at the dead drop at Lafayette and Spring.

760
00:36:16,166 --> 00:36:17,333
How do you even...

761
00:36:20,333 --> 00:36:24,500
The walk that you took together.
You were with him.

762
00:36:24,583 --> 00:36:29,250
I saw him go into the mailbox store,
and put it into one of those boxes.

763
00:36:33,792 --> 00:36:35,333
Thank you for coming.

764
00:36:35,417 --> 00:36:36,375
Of course.

765
00:36:36,875 --> 00:36:37,959
There's been a break in the case?

766
00:36:38,625 --> 00:36:43,083
Yes, actually. New information has
surfaced about Peter Cordero's murder.

767
00:36:43,166 --> 00:36:44,208
[Gates] In fact, it seems

768
00:36:44,291 --> 00:36:48,959
someone in the US Attorney's Office
lied about Cordero not leaving his wire

769
00:36:49,250 --> 00:36:51,166
at the dead drop the night of his death.

770
00:36:51,625 --> 00:36:54,875
No one lied. I went to the drop myself.
It wasn't there.

771
00:36:56,750 --> 00:36:57,959
Elizabeth.

772
00:37:00,709 --> 00:37:01,625
Tell her.

773
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,375
Stephanie,
if Peter never turned in his wire,

774
00:37:06,333 --> 00:37:09,083
how did that day's recordings
end up on your computer?

775
00:37:10,208 --> 00:37:11,750
See, even though you erased them,

776
00:37:12,166 --> 00:37:16,041
the tech department here
was able to recover everything.

777
00:37:17,083 --> 00:37:18,333
I don't know what you're talking about.

778
00:37:18,667 --> 00:37:22,417
Standard procedure was to turn them
over for analysis the next morning.

779
00:37:22,500 --> 00:37:25,041
But you listened
to those tapes that night.

780
00:37:25,125 --> 00:37:26,834
And you heard something
you weren't supposed to,

781
00:37:27,208 --> 00:37:28,959
at least not until Cordero was gone.

782
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,333
[Peter] <i>I came to the US</i>
<i>believing in the American dream.</i>

783
00:37:34,250 --> 00:37:36,542
<i>So I worked hard and tried to </i><i>be honest</i>
<i>in a corrupt world,</i>

784
00:37:37,166 --> 00:37:40,166
<i>working for corrupt and greedy </i><i>people,</i>
<i>because I still believed.</i>

785
00:37:41,625 --> 00:37:44,583
<i>But when you, the US Government,</i>
<i>plants drugs on me,</i>

786
00:37:45,291 --> 00:37:48,208
<i>threatens to destroy my future,</i>
<i>all because you need someone to </i><i>testify,</i>

787
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:51,750
<i>how am I supposed to still </i><i>believe?</i>

788
00:37:51,834 --> 00:37:54,041
<i>I did everything I could</i>
<i>to play by the rules.</i>

789
00:37:54,625 --> 00:37:55,834
<i>But no one else does.</i>

790
00:37:56,583 --> 00:37:58,834
<i>So by the time you hear this,</i>
<i>I'll be gone.</i>

791
00:38:04,875 --> 00:38:07,041
We brought in the cop that busted Cordero.

792
00:38:07,125 --> 00:38:11,333
He confessed to planting the cocaine,
on your orders.

793
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:14,291
Why, Stefanie?

794
00:38:16,375 --> 00:38:18,875
You said you needed someone on the inside.

795
00:38:19,500 --> 00:38:22,250
To make the case against Berman.
For the greater good!

796
00:38:23,333 --> 00:38:26,000
No. Not like this.

797
00:38:26,458 --> 00:38:28,875
When you heard that recording
and found out Peter was leaving,

798
00:38:29,500 --> 00:38:30,834
you knew it would all come out.

799
00:38:31,083 --> 00:38:32,291
So, you went to his place.

800
00:38:32,375 --> 00:38:35,500
I-- I went to try and talk to him.
But he wouldn't listen.

801
00:38:36,166 --> 00:38:39,083
And then you saw his gun,
and you made sure

802
00:38:39,166 --> 00:38:41,083
that his story would never get out.

803
00:38:41,917 --> 00:38:44,417
And you made it look like he was killed
for that recording.

804
00:38:53,208 --> 00:38:56,542
Detective Beckett,
Mr. Castle, I would like to commend you

805
00:38:56,625 --> 00:39:00,458
for your exemplary work in the face
of headwinds from me and my office.

806
00:39:00,542 --> 00:39:03,542
Oh, thank you, but, I mean,
we were just all doing our jobs.

807
00:39:03,959 --> 00:39:05,583
Following our captain's lead.

808
00:39:06,834 --> 00:39:09,333
Did you manage to track down
that $25 million?

809
00:39:09,417 --> 00:39:12,750
Yes. It turns out that Mr. Cordero
donated a large portion of it

810
00:39:12,834 --> 00:39:14,333
to rebuild his hometown,

811
00:39:14,417 --> 00:39:17,333
the one that was destroyed in
the earthquake that killed his parents.

812
00:39:17,875 --> 00:39:19,333
Are you going to try to recover it?

813
00:39:19,583 --> 00:39:23,166
Well, it's very difficult to reclaim funds
once they've left the country.

814
00:39:24,083 --> 00:39:26,333
I think that we have better uses
for our resources.

815
00:39:27,792 --> 00:39:30,000
I should be going, but thank you, again.

816
00:39:33,375 --> 00:39:35,291
What about Berman?
Do you still have a case?

817
00:39:35,542 --> 00:39:38,041
Well, not the one that I thought.
But at least I won't embarrass myself

818
00:39:38,125 --> 00:39:40,458
in court presenting evidence
that's untrue.

819
00:39:41,291 --> 00:39:43,917
Then Berman paid $25 million for nothing.

820
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,875
-I bet that hurt.
-Probably, but it's not enough.

821
00:39:47,291 --> 00:39:50,375
We will build our case the right way.
It may take some time, but we'll get him.

822
00:39:51,792 --> 00:39:53,583
Thank you, Victoria.

823
00:39:53,709 --> 00:39:54,542
For what?

824
00:39:55,750 --> 00:39:57,083
For doing your job so well.

825
00:39:59,959 --> 00:40:02,375
So, I know it's late,
and you probably want to get home,

826
00:40:02,458 --> 00:40:04,542
but after today,
I could really use a drink.

827
00:40:06,750 --> 00:40:07,583
And a sister.

828
00:40:09,375 --> 00:40:10,500
Me, too.

829
00:40:19,250 --> 00:40:22,291
You know, in the end,
Gates' sister wasn't that bad.

830
00:40:22,792 --> 00:40:24,583
Does that mean we have to invite her
to the wedding?

831
00:40:24,875 --> 00:40:26,834
Yeah, what about that? Our lists.

832
00:40:26,917 --> 00:40:28,625
Castle, we can't have
that many people coming.

833
00:40:28,709 --> 00:40:30,375
Agreed. So, what do we do?

834
00:40:30,458 --> 00:40:33,917
I think we have to decide
why we're actually having this wedding.

835
00:40:34,250 --> 00:40:36,709
I mean, are we doing this
not to insult hundreds of people,

836
00:40:36,792 --> 00:40:38,166
or are we doing this for us?

837
00:40:39,083 --> 00:40:40,125
Well, for us.

838
00:40:40,417 --> 00:40:41,875
Well, then why don't we just take a minute

839
00:40:41,959 --> 00:40:43,542
and write down the names of all the people

840
00:40:43,625 --> 00:40:46,709
that absolutely,
positively have to be there,

841
00:40:46,792 --> 00:40:48,959
no matter what, to make us happy.

842
00:40:49,583 --> 00:40:51,417
-One minute.
-Yeah.

843
00:40:52,041 --> 00:40:54,000
It's not much time.
What if we forget someone?

844
00:40:54,291 --> 00:40:56,166
Then they shouldn't have been invited
in the first place.

845
00:40:58,583 --> 00:40:59,792
-Let's do it.
-OK.

846
00:41:01,208 --> 00:41:02,375
All right.

847
00:41:03,834 --> 00:41:05,083
-Are you ready?
-Yep.

848
00:41:06,125 --> 00:41:08,083
One minute. And, go.

849
00:41:12,792 --> 00:41:13,750
You stopped writing.

850
00:41:13,834 --> 00:41:14,792
So did you.

851
00:41:20,917 --> 00:41:23,083
[both chuckle]

852
00:41:28,458 --> 00:41:32,583
Of course, I'm gonna have to invite
my mother. And Alexis.

853
00:41:32,667 --> 00:41:34,250
Yeah, and my dad and Aunt Theresa.

854
00:41:34,333 --> 00:41:35,208
Right.

855
00:41:35,792 --> 00:41:38,041
Espo and Ryan, who'll bring Jenny.

856
00:41:38,333 --> 00:41:39,875
-Lanie.
-Lanie.

857
00:41:40,917 --> 00:41:42,417
I'm gonna have to invite the poker group.

858
00:41:42,500 --> 00:41:44,041
-Yeah. Maddie.
-Gates.

859
00:41:44,917 --> 00:41:46,417
Ooh, and Gates' family.

860
00:41:50,166 --> 00:41:52,583
