"See if you can find any evidence of where he's been." "I did find a key." "It has "38" stamped on it." "Nypd." "I'm here to see henry jenkins?" "I'm henry jenkins."

"Thank you for joining us this morning." "But perhaps the bigger mystery is the one that surrounds you." "Your disappearance made national headlines." "Months later, you were found in a dinghy at sea," "Yet you claim to have no memory" "Of where you've been or how you got there." "Yeah, I know it, uh -- it sounds crazy, even to me," "And, uh, we're still looking for answers." "Well, your critics seem to have some." "It's no secret your last book, "wild storms,"" "Slipped off the best-seller list." "Isn't the most logical explanation" "That this is all a publicity stunt," "A way to make headlines to drum up book sales?" "I assure you, brooke, it was no publicity stunt." "I would never do that to my family or my fiancée." "Speaking of your fiancée," "You vanished just moments before your wedding." "Who chalk your disappearance up to cold feet?" "Well, I would say" "That they don't know what they're talking about." "Well, we've been through a very tough experience." "We're still trying to make sense o-of everything, actually." "And I actually just -- I-I " "I came here to talk about my books." "And if this were one of your books, mr." "Castle," "Wouldn't you find the plot a little hard to swallow?" "I mean, amnesia, really?" "Well, this isn't a novel, brooke." "This actually happened." "And no one wants the truth more than I do." "And I can prove it." "I'm offering a reward -- $250,000 " "To anyone who can give me verifiable proof" "As to where I was and exactly what I was doing" "During the two months I was missing." "Beckett:" "That wasn't an interview." "That was an ambush." "And what were you thinking" "Offering a quarter-million-dollar reward?" "I don't know why I didn't think of it sooner." "Well, maybe because you knew" "It was gonna lure crackpots and opportunists," "And instead of going after real leads," "We're gonna be chasing thousands of half-baked tipsters" "Playing the richard castle lottery."

"You saw that interview." "No one believes me." "But somewhere out there," "Someone knows where I was and what I was doing." "You ready for this?" "A mystery I might be able to solve?" "It'll be a relief." "I hear the east river's a little more polluted than usual today." "Yeah." "A crew team," "They found the body in the river wrapped in plastic."

"I may still be able to pull the attacker's dna" "From under the victim's nails." "Beckett:" "Wait." "How long has he been dead?" "At least a couple of days." "What happened to his face and hands?" "They look like they've been burned." "Honestly, I don't know," "But the rest of the body wasn't affected." "I'll know more when I get him back to the lab." "I had that sick feeling when he didn't come home, but..." "You hope." "Mrs. Williger, was there anyone" "That would've wanted to do your husband harm?" "No." "He made toys for a living." "He was a decent man." "But..." "These last few weeks, he had been having a hard time." "Ever since annie died." "Oh, I'm sorry." "Um..." "Who's annie?" "Our labrador retriever."

"Williger claimed he was working late" "Are the exact same days he was leaving work early." "Over at least a dozen days that he's unaccounted for." "I just went back through his phones and financials," "And they are clean." "In fact, they're too clean." "Till the time he got home, there's no activity at all." "No calls or purchases of any kind," "Not even subway or cab charges." "So, whatever he was doing," "He wanted to keep it a secret from everyone." "Why?"

"Wait, lanie, if the killer is trying to get rid of evidence," "Why would he only scrub the hands and face?" "Don't know, but the cleaner wasn't bleach-based," "So I still may be able to pull dna from under the fingernails." "I also found a receipt in the victim's pocket." "It's from a coffee shop in brooklyn," "Dated the day he disappeared." "Williger lived in manhattan, and his office was in midtown."

"He told us how the night shift would remove the drugs" "From the dolls before returning them to the inventory." "There's no way our warehouse employees could pull that off." "All of those shipments are coordinated from here." "Yes." "From this office." "Which means whoever was in charge of it" "Had to have had access to mr." "Williger's files." "Where you going, bro?" "Oh, I'm just " "You'll never make it." "Matt?" "Matt monroe." "Before he joined the company, he was living over in asia." "In fact, that's one of the reasons williger hired you," "Your familiarity with local cultures." "Beckett:" "I guess mr." "Williger wasn't aware" "That familiarity extended to their heroin trade." "The foreman said you were behind the whole operation." "He's lying." "Esposito:" "Really?" "'cause he said that he called you," "About the new janitor who had been poking around." "That was the same night that mr." "Williger disappeared." "Must have been quite a surprise" "When you realized the old man was your boss." "I had nothing to do with this." "We double-checked street cams." "This is your car three blocks from the warehouse" "Just after wally ended his shift." "And I bet the dna samples that we collect" "Are gonna confirm what we already know." "[ piano notes play ]" "Matt monroe, you're under arrest for the murder of wally williger." "Detective, if wally knew something was wrong," "Why did he hide it from everyone?" "He didn't know who he could trust," "Because our company name would become synonymous with drug smuggling." "[ cellphone vibrates ]" "Beckett." "Hey, it's tory." "Is castle with you?" "No." "Why?" "I think he might be in montreal." "[ car door closes ]" "[ water dripping ]" "Jenkins:" "You weren't supposed to come back." "Ever." "It's you." "What do you remember?" "Nothing." "That's good." "I know you're involved." "I know you know what happened to me." "Who are you?" "You can't be doing this," "Asking questions, offering rewards." "It's too dangerous." "Then tell me what happened." "You're not listening, mr." "Castle." "You need to stop." "Or what?" "Or you're going to find out the truth." "And you said you didn't want to remember." "We went to great lengths to make sure that you didn't." "But if you keep looking..." "There's no way in hell I asked for this." "I'm sorry." "But you did." "I don't believe you." "Hollander's woods, mr." "Castle." "That February day when you were 11 years old." "No." "What happened to you there," "The real reason you became a mystery writer." "How did you..." "I never told anyone about that." "No." "Not beckett, not your family." "But you told me" "Three weeks ago" "So that if this ever happened, you'd have proof." "You'd know that you were the one who asked to forget." "I asked for this?" "Some mysteries aren't meant to be solved." "It's over now." "Go home." "Live your life." "Forget this ever happened." "It's what you wanted." "How could you go up there on your own and not even tell us?" "Because I knew you would try and stop me, and I needed to know, but..." "But now..." "What could I have done that was so bad" "That I asked them to make me forget?" "Maybe you didn't do anything." "Maybe you found out something terrible" "Or witnessed something you didn't want to have to live with." "Martha:" "Or maybe the past two months is like pandora's box" "And shouldn't be opened." "What I did to them, to you..." "How am I supposed to just let that go?" "I don't know." "I tried with my mom's murder." "I buried it until you came along." "You think it's possible?" "To live with it without ever knowing?" "Oh, castle..." "This is completely different." "Whatever happened to you, you already knew the truth," "And you decided that you didn't want to remember it anymore." "And as much as we wanted to know the answers," "If you decided that, then there had to have been a reason." "Maybe that's why I asked them to make me forget." "So I could come home to you." "You know what?" "What?" "We should get married." "Tomorrow, first thing." "Put all this behind us." "What do you say?" "Castle There is nothing that I want more than to marry you," "But not like this." "You're not ready?" "No." "We're both not ready." "We're looking for solid ground," "And you think getting married is gonna fix the way you feel," "And it won't." "Look, I love you." "And I'm here for you." "But we need to get some distance from all of this." "We need to get back to our own lives," "Find solid ground together." "I promise you, I'm not going anywhere." "We've waited this long, so let's just make it right." "How long?" "[ sighs ]" "A month." "No expectations, no pressure." "Just us." "And then we'll talk about it then." "A month." "It's a date."
