"H-o-i-v-l." "Hoilv." "Vlohi." "Hovil." "No." "That's not a word, either." "Did you seriously stay up staring at this scrabble board all night instead of going to bed?" "With these five remaining tiles," "I have to craft a word scoring 9 points and I turn defeat into victory." "Oh, my gosh." "Did you really beat dad at scrabble?" "I concede nothing, except that I need more coffee." "That is quite an accomplishment, young lady." "Nobody beats him... ever." "Oh, yeah." "He's mentioned that..." "repeatedly." "How the mighty have fallen." ""Richard Castle." "One word short."" "I cannot allow this to be my epitaph." "I saw that." "Beckett." "Okay, I'll admit defeat... thanks." "Because I love you." "You're letting me win after I already won." "Under the condition that we have a rematch tonight." "Oh, wow." "Now you're dictating the terms of surrender." "Take it or leave it, please." "Hey." "Hey." "So, what happened here?" "Well, according to our... witness, our victim, one Logan Moore, was hauling ass on a skateboard with a guy on a motorcycle chasing him." "Sounds like a scene from an action movie." "Yeah, I know, especially when the biker started shooting and Logan crashed through that window right there." "Anything about our victim that'll explain what happened?" "Not yet... just that he's 21, has a California driver's license." "About all we got at this point." "So, this biker... was our witness able to give a description?" "Our witness is royally wasted." "All he knows is that sometime between 3:00 and 4:00, it was "death race 2000" out here." "The evidence backs him up, too." "CSU found fresh tire tracks in that dirt over there." "They're making casts as we speak." "So either this is the worst case of road rage ever or someone was hell-bent on killing Logan Moore." "But why?" "And why was he out skateboarding between 3:00 and 4:00 A.M.?" "Well, if he needed some fresh air, he got some... by way of three holes in his back from 9mm hollow-points." "So, no eyes on the shooter." "There's no security-cam coverage in this area." "Our victim's from out of town, so he had to have been staying somewhere." "Did you find a hotel key or a receipt?" "Well, we did find this key hung around his neck and this scrap of paper in his pocket." "It's a West Village address." "You and Esposito check that out." "Castle and I will see what we can find out about our victim." "Can you just hang on for one second for me?" "Hey, Lanie." "Were you able to schedule the fitting for your dress?" "Absolutely." "And the dress that you picked out for me is gorgeous." "It's the right mix of elegant and saucy." "Well, I had to do right by my maid of honor." "Okay, I got to go." "I'll see you." "All right." "Hey, Lanie." "Hey." "So, did we hear right?" "Are you Beckett's maid of honor?" "Yeah, she asked me the other day." "Do you have any idea who Castle's best man is?" "First, "congratulations, Lanie."" "Oh!" "Thank you!" "Second, I don't know if he's picked anyone yet." "You... really think it's one of you?" "You two." "Reality of it is, is that Castle's friends with famous people, like James Patterson and Stephen King." "Who?" "Come on, man... you really think Castle wants one of those guys standing beside him when he ties the knot?" "You know, maybe you're right." "Castle's spent practically every day in the precinct for the past few years." "Why wouldn't he ask one of us to be his best man?" "Why wouldn't he pick me to be his best man, is what you mean." "Oh, Javi." "I'm the obvious choice." "If you can't see it, I can't explain it to you." "Yes?" "NYPD." "Me and Logan hung out when I lived in L.A." "I really liked him." "Was he staying with you, Holly?" "Is this a key to your apartment?" "No." "I..." "I don't know where he was crashing." "Well, did he stop by?" "'Cause your address was in his pocket." "Yeah, he did, but it was weird." "Logan called last week out of the blue." "He was flying into town, and he asked if he can have a small box shipped here." "Well, if it was small, why didn't he just take it with him on the plane?" "He didn't want to deal with TSA because he said they always gave him a hard time." "What was in the box?" "Um, his... skateboard tools and stuff." "At least, that's what he said." "But you didn't believe him." "It's just, when he came to get it, he acted kind of strange." "He noticed some tape had come loose on the box, and... he freaked out." "He made me swear I hadn't opened it." "Holly, do you have any idea what was in that box?" "I don't know." "I..." "I really don't." "Do you know why he flew into town in the first place?" "For the games." "What games?" "Logan was a pro skateboarder." "He was here for the New York Street Sports Festival, down by Chelsea piers." "Okay, so, the Street Sports Festival kicked off yesterday." "Logan Moore was entered into the street-style skateboarding event and favored to win." "His star was on the rise." "It's all the more impressive given his humble origins." "Logan's bio says he was born in the Bronx." "He bounced around foster care after his mother went to prison." "Then he ran off to California, made his mark as a skater, and never looked back." "And then he was killed by a gun-wielding biker." "Not in the bio, but, obviously, there's more to the story." "Hey." "So, CSU I.D.'d those tracks at the scene." "They were made by Michelin S12S, a type of off-road tire." "Why would someone ride an off-road bike on the streets?" "That would just wear the tires down to nothing." "Unless it's the only type of bike the killer had access to." "One of the main events at the games is motocross, and those are the tires they use." "CSU's checking to see if any of those are a match to the track." "Okay, good." "So, our killer could be connected to the games." "Yep." "And I'm laying money it was Manny Castro." "And who is Manny Castro?" "A top pro who had beef with Logan." "Six months ago, Logan showed him up at an event in Los Angeles, then beat him two more times after that." "Tension got super-high between the two of them." "Oh." "A reigning champion unable to cope with defeat." "That sounds familiar." "Yeah, but then yesterday, things got physical." "A fan posted this on YouTube." "Hey!" "I'm talking to you, Logan!" "You think you can just walk away from me?" "!" "Get off me, man!" "Your skating days are done!" "You're done!" "You hear me, Logan?" "!" " Where's Manny Castro now?" " At the venue." "The street-style event just ended, and Manny won." "Whoa!" "Nice tail whip!" "Oh." "So you know the lingo?" "Any extreme sports in your history I've yet to hear about?" "Well, I mean, I think catching killers is pretty extreme." "And then there's marrying you." "Yes." "I admit I am extreme." "Extremely handsome." "Yep... with a high degree of difficulty." "There's Manny." "Big heart for you." "Thanks." "Manny Castro?" "Yeah, that's me." "NYPD." "We need to talk to you about Logan Moore." "Guy's a loser." "What's there to talk about?" "How about his murder?" "When Logan didn't show up for the event," "I..." "I didn't know what to think, but I sure as hell didn't kill him." "Manny, you repeatedly swore to do just that after he beat you in L.A." "And in Austin." "And Tampa." "I talk a lot of trash." "The fans go nuts for it." "It's all part of the show." "We talked to the front desk at your hotel." "They say that you left at 10:00 P.M. last night and you didn't come back until 5:00 A.M." "I hooked up with a girl." "She'll tell you I was with her all night." "Yeah, I'm sure she will." "But that video of you threatening Logan yesterday, that's gonna be a lot harder to explain away." "No." "That's not what it looks like." "Really?" "'Cause it looks like it is what it looks like." "Listen, right before that video was taken, I caught Logan ransacking the festival mobile office, all right?" "Ransacking as in trashing?" "It was more like he was looking for something." " Like what?" " I don't know." "And he wouldn't explain himself, so I got up in his face." "That's what was on the videotape." "You report it?" "I was gonna tell Tom Fulton, the festival C.E.O., but he begged me not to, so I kept my mouth shut." "And why would you do that for him?" "Logan asked me for 24 hours." "He swore it was a matter of life and death." "I guess he was right." "Castle 6x21" " Law  Boarder Original air date April 28, 2014" "Sync and corrections by atrn97g web dl sync snarry" "Immediately following the competition, stick around for meet-and-greets." "Can I help you?" "Yeah." "I'm detective Beckett." "This is my associate, Mr. Castle." "We're looking for Tommy Fulton." "That's me." "News just broke Logan Moore was killed." "I'm sick about it." "You... you here about that or the break-in." "Both, actually." "When was the last time you saw Logan?" "Two days ago." "He was here doing some practice runs." "Did he have any issues with anyone here or trouble with anyone on the circuit?" "Oh, the guys play to win, but it stays out in the park, you know?" "So, what was taken from here?" "So far, the only thing I know missing for sure i... is my gun." "I kept a .45 in my desk..." "legally registered." "Did Logan know about the gun?" "What... you think Logan broke in here?" "I'm assuming that would have been out of character?" "Hell yes." "He was on his way to becoming the next Tony Hawk." "Is there any reason that Logan would have needed a gun?" "Look..." "I know Logan." "He had a tough go of things growing up." "It wouldn't be the first time a kid like that fell in with a bad crowd." "What bad crowd?" "When Logan first came here to register," "I remember he gets this weird phone call." "He answers and he says, "you got some nerve"" ""asking me to do this after all these years."" ""Stay the hell out of my life." "Don't ever call me again."" "Then he hung up." "Any idea who he was talking to?" "No." "But he was pretty shook up." "If he took my gun and someone killed him, maybe there's a connection." " Okay, thanks." " Hey." "Hey." "So, Manny Castro's alibi checks." "And I talked to Logan's competition." "None of them remember anything about him hanging out with a bad crowd." "What if that bad crowd refers to an evil cabal that pays extreme athletes to duel to the death, all for the benefit of depraved millionaires?" "You mean like the movie "rollerball"?" "It would explain the "motorcycle vs. skateboard" murder." "Or maybe it has something to do with the Albanian mob." " What?" "!" " Yeah." "According to his phone records," "Logan received a dozen calls from a social club in the Bronx." "The place is run by Albanians linked to organized crime." "Isn't the Albanian mob infamous for being crazy-violent?" "See if you can find out who was calling him from that club." "I'm on it." "Oh." "Castle, I..." "I got something for you." "It's that pen you liked." "It's an heirloom." " What's the occasion?" " There's no occasion." "It's just 'cause we're..." "'cause we're bros." "Best bros." "This is fantastic." "No, it's not." "It's juvenile." "So..." "Logan's financials got us a line on where he was staying." "All week, he'd been ordering from Grubhub." "You mean the food service?" "Yeah, they were delivering meals to a loft in Soho." "Whose loft was it?" "Some trust-fund kid..." "likes to party with the athletes." "Guy named Ross de Koning." "Nice, brother." "It's not really all that hard." "Oh, yeah." "Like you could do better?" "Um..." "Hi." "Ross de Koning?" "NYPD." "Wow." "I just got to say, you can come party here anytime." "In fact, swing by tomorrow for my very special 21st birthday bash." "Look, as tempting as that sounds, um, we actually just need to ask you a few questions about Logan Moore." "Oh, yeah." "I was so bummed by what happened." "I understand that he had been staying here." "Oh, yeah." "I mean, we used to skate together." "So when he asked to crash, I was like, "absolutely."" "And did you see him when he left last night?" "No." "I don't keep tabs." "Before he moved to California, did Logan have any connections to the Albanian mob?" "Oh, man." "You think the Albanian killed him?" "What Albanian?" "That never even entered my mind." "Ross, what Albanian?" "So, maybe five, six years ago," "Logan's mom dated this dude..." "Enver." "He was into drugs And all kinds of bad stuff." "Was there ever any trouble between Logan and Enver?" "Major trouble." "Logan helped send Enver to prison, and Enver swore he'd get even if it was the last thing he'd do." "Enver Kotta... convictions for armed robbery, assault, and possession." "According to the case file," "Logan's mom either had the bad sense to let Enver stash his cocaine at her apartment or she was in on the whole drug operation." "Bottom line is, Logan got sick of it and called the cops." "Logan's mom ended up getting seven years, while Enver did five." "Let me guess." "Enver cut a deal, threw her under the bus?" "Yep." "And guess what else." "Enver just got out on parole last month." "So when he realized Logan was in town, he went looking for payback." "Hey, so, it looks like" "Logan definitely had contact with this guy." "Turns out that Enver was a regular at that social club where the calls came from." "Okay." "Let's pick him up." "Whatever happened to that kid, I had nothing to do with it." "You served five years because of Logan." "It was no secret that you wanted him to pay." "Is that why you called him?" "To let him know what you were gonna do to him?" "I didn't kill Logan." "Then where were you last night between 3:00 and 4:00 A.M.?" "Let me help you out, Enver." "Your credit card puts you at a diner at 1:15 A.M., where a witness saw you with Logan." "That same witness said that when Logan left, you followed him out." "A few hours later, Logan was dead." "Okay." "I met with him last night." "But I didn't want revenge." "Then what did you want?" "Prison changed me." "I found the Lord." "Working my program means making amends for the things that I've done wrong." "Do you expect us to believe that you met up with Logan to apologize?" "He didn't believe me, either." "So I kept calling him and calling him." "He phoned back yesterday, said he'd meet me... if I gave him $3,000." "Why would he want 3 grand?" "He just said he needed it." "And if that was the price to sit down with him, well..." "I was willing to pay it." "So I scraped up the cash." "He must have still been afraid of me." "He showed up at the diner with a piece." "I gave him the money, said how sorry I was for messing up his life, told him I'd even testify on his mama's behalf, try to get her released early." "And what did the two of you do afterwards?" "He just said he had to take care of something before it was too late." "Then he took off." "And I... went home." " Hey, Castle." " Hey." "Oh!" "I, have something for you." " For me?" " Yeah." "Recipe for Shepherd's pie." "Is this the one Jenny made that night?" "That was outstanding." " You remember you asked how she made it?" " Yeah." "Well, this is her grandma's secret family recipe... because I think of you as family." "Thank you, Ryan." "I'm touched." "Always looking out for you, Castle." "Hey." "So, the doorman at Ross' place, where Logan was staying, says that Logan came back to the building last night at 1:30 A.M." "Which means he returned to the building after the diner, and that supports Enver's story." "Yeah, but Logan wasn't done for the night." "He was picking something up." "Doorman says that he went inside for a sec, came back out carrying a black duffel bag." "A duffel bag?" "Could the doorman tell what was inside?" "No, but he said it was heavy, so he offered to hail a cab." "Logan refused and jumped on his skateboard and rolled away." "There was no duffel bag at the scene." "Maybe the killer took it." "Canvass the area between Ross' building and our crime scene." "If we can figure out where Logan was taking that bag, that should lead us to our killer." "We'll get into it." "You ready to go home?" "Yeah." "Yeah, I am." "I'm actually kind of tired." "I hope not too tired to... you know." "And "D" for "dyad,"" "which means two people talking, as we are now." "Well, actually, it's been mostly you talking." "Well, bragging, to be specific." "Okay, word score's a 9, plus the double word score brings it to 18, plus the 5 from the A-Y, that's a total of 23, bringing my score to 312, versus your paltry 175." "Castle, aren't there more important things than winning?" "That's a notion created to comfort those who lose." "Well, I was thinking that we could be doing something more interesting with our time." "Well, in that case, let's hurry up and finish this game." "Okay." "How about I concede?" "And steal my moment of triumph?" "No." "It doesn't count if it's not official." "Now, just take your turn and feel the bitter sting of defeat." "Fine." ""Quixotic"?" "Yeah." "So, that's a triple word score with the "Q" and the "C,"" "plus a double letter score with the "X"" "and another 50-point bonus for using all of my letters." "How many points is that?" "314." "I'm sorry, Castle." "I think I need to be alone." "All right." "Keep me posted." "All right." "Thanks, Bill." "Hey, man." "I've been thinking." "You know, Castle likes us both too much to have to make the pick for best man." "So we should make the decision for him." "Um..." "It's his wedding." "How do you propose we decide for him?" "Well... one of us is gonna have to drop out." "And by "one of us," I mean "you."" "Me?" "Why should it be me?" "Because." "You think Richard Castle wants you planning his bachelor party?" "Come on, bro." "Oh, Esposito." "See, being a best man is a lot more than just preparing the bachelor party." "I'm a family man." "I represent a high moral standing." "Oh, please." "And I photograph better than you." "What?" "Let me tell you something..." "you're going down." "And just remember that I gave you an opportunity to bow out gracefully." "You hear me?" "Okay." "Castle." "Hey, buddy." "How's it going?" "Don't ask." "Well, as your close friend, now I have to ask." "Did she beat you at scrabble again?" "Can we just talk about the case, please?" "Sure." "You bet." "So, the canvass to narrow down where Logan went with his duffel last night came up empty." "But, you remember the key that we found on him?" "Well, CSU, they traced it back to a 24-hour gym, and it turns out that Logan was there between 3:00 and 4:00 A.M. the night he was murdered." "So the last place he went before he was killed was a gym." "And he didn't stay long." "His membership card was swiped in and then swiped right back out two minutes later." "Just long enough to drop off a duffel bag." "Yeah, I totally remember Logan." "He was in here every day on the rock wall, practicing his climbing." "This is his locker." "Did you see him come in two nights ago?" "I wasn't on duty, but we have security video." "I'm sure I can get you a copy." "Castle, it's here." "Look at this." "Climbing gear?" "Yeah." "And a .45." "This must be the one that Logan stole from Tommy Fulton." "But why would he need a gun and climbing ropes that night?" "Screwdrivers, wrenches." "And that would be a glass cutter." "And tension tools..." "For picking locks." "So, Logan Moore wasn't just a champion skateboarder." "He was a thief." "Logan Moore, child of a broken home who found solace and salvation on a skateboard." "But did he use his skills as an extreme athlete to become a master thief?" "Did our outlaw skater become an actual outlaw?" "If he was a thief, then what did he steal?" "We didn't find anything of value in his locker or on his body." "Well, maybe the killer took it." "Maybe that's why he targeted Logan." "Hey." "So, while CSU was processing that gym bag, they found this receipt inside from the day he died." "From an electronics store?" "Yeah, in Midtown." "The owner there said he remembered Logan because he asked for a HI8 camcorder." "HI8?" "That's an outdated format." "Sure is." "The one he sold him was 10 years old." "So, why would he buy a 10-year-old camcorder?" "Maybe he wanted to film his crime?" "Why not use a cellphone or a GoPro?" "Hey, guys." "Come check this out." "Thanks." "So, we ran through security footage of the gym to see if anybody was with Logan when he dropped off the bag or if anyone followed him out." "Here's what we found." "These photograbs correspond to the exact time" "Logan's card was swiped." "Wait a minute." "That's not Logan." "No, but we've seen him before." "Yeah, at Ross de Koning's penthouse party." "And he's wearing a street sports tee underneath his hoodie, so we checked out their website." "His name is Carter Wexland." "He's one of the competitors, so Logan would have known him." "Pulled his file." "He has a record for bes and grand theft." "And... he's also a motocross rider." "Just like our killer." "So, I went to the gym." "So what?" "At 3:40 A.M." "I couldn't sleep." "What's the big deal?" "The big deal, Mr. Wexland, is that you used Logan Moore's I.D. card when he had just been killed nearby." "Ain't hard to figure out where you got it." "Yeah." "He loaned it to me the day before so I could work out." "That was a quick workout, considering you were there for only two minutes." "You went there to drop off this duffel bag." "And since Logan was carrying this exact bag earlier that night, we know the two of you crossed paths." "I wish you could see your face right now." "It's like this neon sign flashing "I did it!"" "How's it going?" "They got him on the run." "I, thought you could use a little pick-me-up." "Thanks." "That's what friends are for, right?" "Right." "Oh, hey, how are the wedding plans going?" "Everything good?" "Yeah." "Yeah, great." "Great." "Well, if there's anything I..." "I can do to help... you know, literally, symbolically... just..." "let me know." "I will." "Yeah." "So, what happened, bro?" "The two of you did a job together?" "And you had a falling-out, then you decided you didn't want to share the score?" "Dude, I'm telling you..." "I didn't kill anyone." "Come on, Carter." "You had his bag and his I.D. on you." "You were blocks away from where he was killed, and you ride a motocross bike." "With your criminal record, this is gonna be a slam dunk for the D.A." "No, no." "I'm telling you." "The last time I saw Logan that night, he was still alive." "So you admit to having seen him." "Yes." "Okay." "He heard about my past and hired me for a job." "Okay." "So, what was the job?" "A BE." "He told me he'd give me 3 grand to bypass an alarm system and belay him from a rooftop so that he could get into a 15th-floor office." "What office?" "I don't know." "I was on the roof." "He cut in through the window, went in, and then sent up the gear with the bag." "That was the last I saw him." "The plan was for me to disappear with the gear and then stash the bag at the gym." "Did he have a camcorder with him?" "Yeah." "I..." "I mean, there was one in the bag." "But it wasn't there when he sent it back." "Did he tell you what he was after?" "No." "But when I saw all the trouble that we were going to," "I told Logan I wanted a cut, not just the 3 grand." "He got really pissed and said he wasn't some criminal and this wasn't about money." "It was about making things right for a friend who died." "He was really intense." "I believed him." "Did Logan tell you who this friend was?" "No." "He didn't." "Shipping his tools ahead, hiring an accomplice... all the while using a skateboarding event as a cover." "Seems to me the real reason Logan came back to New York was to commit this burglary." "Yeah, but what was he stealing, and how is it related to this dead friend?" "Well, I'll circle back around to the people who knew Logan, see if anybody knows of any breakins or a dead friend." "Oh, and, Castle... do you want to come with me down to the skate park?" "I thought maybe we could stop by and get some of those bacon brownies that you love." "You had me at bacon." "Well, you might want to hold off on that offer." "That building that Carter and Logan broke into was only a few blocks from where Logan was killed." "Yet I checked the police blotter." "There were no reported break-ins there that evening." "But based on Carter's description," "I was able to identify which 15th-floor window that Logan entered through." "It belongs to a law office for a Brett Zaretsky, Esquire." "What was Logan doing breaking into a law office?" "You guys should probably go find out." "Yeah." "Come on, Castle." "Let's go." "Rain check?" "Yeah." "Have you noticed anything odd about Esposito and Ryan lately?" "Like what?" "They're being nice to me... weird nice." "Well, they probably just feel sorry for you after the beatdown I gave you in scrabble last night." "Gloat all you want." "I will have my revenge." "Okay." "Okay." "Let's just find Brett Zaretsky right now." "New window." "Can I help you?" "Yeah." "Hi." "We're here about the break-in." "Well, I'm afraid you've been misinformed." "A thief didn't break in through your window, Mr. Zaretsky?" "No." "Well, why is the glass being replaced?" "A small mishap with a bird." "A bird?" "Mr. Zaretsky, Do you recognize this man?" "No." "I'm sorry." "I'm afraid I don't." "Would you mind if we took a quick look around?" "Yeah, we might... be able to help you assess any of the damage this bird might have caused." "Yes, I mind." "Mr. Zaretsky, were you or anyone else here two nights ago?" "Detective, if you want to question me, get a subpoena." "If you want to come into these offices, get a warrant." "Until then, I'm gonna have to ask you to leave." "Look, there's only one reason that lawyer would stonewall us and not report a break-in." "He's covering something up." "Shady law firm, mysterious death, a young man righting wrongs." "Maybe Logan Moore is like Erin Brockovich, but with a skateboard instead of... you know... other assets." "Brains?" " Yes, brains." " Yeah." "Hey, Ryan, can you look into Brett Zaretsky's law firm?" "Press releases, court filings, lawsuits." "See if there's anything there that connects him to Logan." "I'm on it." "Hey, I circled back around to Tommy, Ross, and Holly." "If any of Logan's friends died, they don't know about it." "Well, someone must." "Where did you say that his mom was, again?" "Taconic Correctional." "Okay." "Let's see if she can shed some..." "light." "Guys, I know what you're trying to do, why you're being so nice to me." "Beckett clued me in." "And, honestly, It's just making it harder, so just... act normal." " Man." " Man." "He really can't decide between us." "Yeah, but can you blame him?" "I mean, poor guy." "He's in a nowin situation." "But..." "I may have a solution." "Come on." "Okay, let me..." "let me get this straight." "You guys want me to decide who should be Castle's best man?" "Yeah." "It's perfect." "You're the maid of honor." "So you pick, we let Castle know." "Everybody wins." "Javi, this is ridiculous." "Of course she's gonna pick you." "That's because there's no better best-man material than this man right here." "Right, baby?" "Javi, do you really think I'd pick you with our history?" "Well, I guess that's settled." "What's settled is, you two are idiots." "I'm not picking either one of you." "You want to know why?" "Because I'm not the groom." "Detectives." "She's just mean." "Well... we can't force Castle to choose between us." "There's got to be another way." "Two days ago, the warden told me my son was dead." "So I'm just waiting for someone to come along and tell me that he was wrong... that there's been some sort of mistake." "We're sorry for your loss." "I lost him a long time ago." "Did Logan ever talk to you about a friend of his dying?" "Maybe under unusual circumstances?" "Why?" "Because we believe that it might be related to Logan's murder." "Well, there was Jay." "Who was Jay?" "He was a scrawny little kid from the neighborhood, a couple years younger than Logan." "He and some of the other kids in the neighborhood used to call themselves "the Bronx skate crew."" "None of them... had much of a home life, so they'd just ride around on their boards all day long and... get into places they shouldn't." "But Jay was the one that Logan said might be even better than he was." "And what happened to Jay?" "He was killed in some accident..." "I don't know..." "like six years ago." "Cops never figured out what happened." "Did Logan ever talk about Jay's death at the time?" "Anything out of the ordinary?" "No." "I mean, it was the first time that somebody that he knew died, so he... he took it hard." "Jay Dixon, age 12." "He died April 27, 2008." "Coroner ruled the death a homicide." "It was never solved." "What happened?" "C.O.D. was blunt-force trauma to the head, and his body was found at a construction site." "Any leads on who did it?" "No." "There were no witnesses, no suspects." "All in all, it wasn't much of an investigation." "12-year-old gets killed, and no one cares enough to find his murderer." "Logan did." "Finding justice for Jay seems to be the very reason he came to New York." "But why now, six years later?" "And why did Logan think he was running out of time?" "And what's the connection to Zaretsky or his law firm?" "If there is one, I haven't found it." "He's not named in this file, and there's no wrongful-death or other litigation against the property owners." "Okay, get ahold of Jay's parents." "Let's see if they've been in contact with Logan recently." "Hey, guys." "Check it out." "Search team just found this camcorder down the block from where Logan was killed." "A HI8 camcorder." "Yeah." "CSU gave it a quick look." "No prints, no cassette tape." "But check it out." "Bullet hole." "So Logan must have had this on him when he was shot." "Looks like someone tried to pry open the cassette slot." "Yeah, killer must have wanted whatever was inside." "I know why Logan bought the camera." "He didn't intend to record something." "He wanted to play an old cassette tape." "You think that's why he broke into the law offices... to get a HI8 tape?" "Jay was killed six years ago." "If there was evidence of his death, it's possible it could be on a format like this." "Yeah, but we still don't have it." "Or do we?" "Look." "The tape must have torn when the killer ripped it out." "And..." "Voilà." "So, I was able to digitize that tape fragment and recover about six seconds of footage." "Look at the time stamp..." "April 27, 2008." "That's the same date Jay Dixon was killed." "I think I can improve the resolution." "Is that a construction site?" "This could be footage of Jay Dixon's murder." "Here we go." "You ever tell anyone what happened to Jay, you'll be dead, too!" "That's Tommy Fulton, C.E.O. of New York Street Sports." "Looks like six years later, Tommy made good on that promise." "Six years ago, Logan witnesses his friend's murder, and then Tommy threatened to kill Logan if he ever told what happened to Jay." "After all these years, Logan couldn't live with the guilt and came back to expose the truth." "So, the question is, what was that tape doing in the law office, and how is Zaretsky connected to all of this?" "I think I figured that one out." "Who do you suppose does all the contract work for the Street Sports Festival?" "Brett Zaretsky?" "Yeah." "And Zaretsky also represents Tommy Fulton personally." "I hope you have a good reason for dragging us down here, detective." "How about... murder?" "C... come on." "If this is about Logan, I..." "I was at a club doing promotions from midnight to 4:00 A.M." "And where were you on April 27, 2008... when Jay Dixon was killed?" "You ever tell anyone what happened to Jay, you'll be dead, too!" "When I asked you earlier this morning about Jay Dixon, you said that you never heard of him." "And that was a lie." "That tape proves nothing about Logan or Jay's deaths." "I can place you at the scene of a six-year-old unsolved murder." "I also have circumstantial evidence that you killed Logan in order to cover it up." "Now, how much more do you think a jury is gonna need in order to connect those dots?" "I can explain." "No, don't explain anything, Tommy." "You think you can hide behind attorney/client privilege if you conceal evidence of a child's murder?" "I will have you disbarred, and then you will stand trial alongside your client." "Maybe you'd like to call your lawyer." "Don't say another word." "Brett, what's the point?" "I mean, the whole plan's screwed anyway." "Stop digging our graves." "I'm not going down for murders that someone else did." "For God's sake, shut your mouth, Tommy." "No." "Not this time." "I think you should leave now." "Well, you can't kick me out of here." "This man is my client." "You're fired." "Either you leave on your own or I will have you forcibly removed." "Tommy." "What happened?" "How did Jay die six years ago?" "I started out making skateboard videos with Jay and Logan." "That day, I was taping the two of them and my friend D.K. doing tre flips." "Little Jay... he was a natural." "But..." "D.K. couldn't do it." "He was never that good on a board." "Jay... he had a mouth on him." "And he was rubbing it in D.K.'s face." "D.K. just snapped." "He... grabbed Jay... and he slammed him against this beam... over and over." "By the time we could pull him off Jay was gone." "And the whole thing was caught on tape." "Logan... he wanted to tell someone, but we were all too scared." "D.K. wanted that video." "He had the most to lose." "So... we cut a deal." "What kind of a deal?" "$5 million for the tape." "What kind of kid has $5 million?" "D.K. does." "With what he's getting from his family, it was a drop in the bucket." "That's why you had to hang on to the tape." "The money was in a trust fund." "D.K. wouldn't have access to it until his 21st birthday." "And that's why Logan knew he had to act right away." "You were gonna turn over the tape, and it was gonna get destroyed, along with the truth." "Yeah." "Cheers, guys." "Drink up." "Happy Birthday to me." "Hey, detectives!" "Stoked to see you." "Like my new company logo?" "Yeah, it's... it's killer." "In fact, Ross de Koning, you're under arrest for the murder of Logan Moore." "And the murder of Jay Dixon." "What are you talking about?" "Tommy Fulton told us everything." "Sorry to ruin your birthday, D.K." "But look on the bright side..." "the good news is, you're 21 now." "You have control of your trust fund, so you'll have plenty of money to spend on your defense." "Well, I won't have to, brah, 'cause you got no proof." "I think we will, brah..." "after we take a look at that motocross bike in your garage and match it to the tire treads at the crime scene." "We have officers searching your loft right now." "What are the odds they find the 9mm you used to kill Logan?" "Where you going?" "Unh!" "With Tommy's testimony, the D.A. is confident that he's gonna get Ross de Koning convicted for both murders." "At least Logan succeeded in his quest." "He found justice for his friend." "And to think all this happened because Ross couldn't bear being second-best." "So, are you ready for another rematch?" "Really?" "You would deny me a chance at redemption?" "Well, keep on this path, there's a lot you'll be denied." "Hey, Castle." "You got a minute?" "Yeah, we need to have a little man chat." "There... are some... reports that I have to file." "Yeah." "So, we've been doing a lot of thinking." "And, well, we know what you're going through." " You do?" " Yeah." "We know how tough it's been, so we decided to make it easy for you." "You did?" "Yeah." "We talked it over." "And now you don't have to choose." "We'll both be your best man." "Co-best men." "And, believe me, we're gonna do it up right for you." "Best of both worlds, buddy." "Um... guys, I'm, I'm flattered and... and honored." " You're welcome." " Yeah, you should be." "But..." "I already decided." " You made the right choice." " You're talking about me, right?" " I think we're gonna have a great time." " 'Cause it's like, we know each other." " The ideas that I've already come up with are pretty amazing." " Guys." " I know the best restaurant." " Do you like...'Cause I am on the V.I.P..." "Guys." "I asked Alexis to be my best man." "Aside from Beckett, she's the most important person in my life, so I..." "You will be my groomsmen, though, right?" " Yeah, man." " Yeah." " Yeah, I mean, sure." " I wouldn't miss that day for anything." " I'll be there." "Of course." " It's gonna be magical." "Great." "Thanks." "It's your day." "I didn't see that coming." "I can't believe I gave him my pen." "I can't believe I shared a family secret recipe." "I can't believe we just got beat by a girl." "Let's never speak of this again." "Speak of what?" "Hey." "So, um... where's your mom?" "She and Alexis went to dinner and a midnight sing-along of "Grease."" "Why?" "'Cause..." "I'm ready for a rematch." "Why did you do that?" "New game." "Poker." "You want to play poker against me?" "Strip poker." "I'll deal." "Your bet." "I think I'm gonna go all-in." "Me too." "But... all I have left to bet with is the shirt." "I'll take that bet." "What do you got?" "Who cares?" "This is so much better than scrabble." "Yeah!" "Sync and corrections by atrn97g web dl sync snarry"
