"Sometimes the guy is just a psychopath." "There's always a story," "Always a chain of events that makes everything make sense." "Take you, for example."

"Um, you just stay here and don't touch anything." "Hi, i'm richard castle." "I'm consulting." "Richard castle the author?" "On my better days." "Lanie parish, medical examiner." "I love your books." "You know, you have a real gift with the details of death." "I thought i told you to stay over there." "I got lonely." "You got a c.O.D.?" "Not until the full exam." "But this wasn't a stabbing." "Lack of blood around the wound" "Suggests she was dead before it was inserted." "No foam around the mouth, so we know she didn't drown." "Oh, you're good." "Yeah, yeah." "She was killed first and then posed," "Just like the others." "Yeah." "I know." "Cai have a word?" "Something wrong?" "This is a homicide investigation, Not a day at disneyland." "If i give you an order, i expect you to obey it." "Then you don't know me very well." "You know, in my book, the dress was blue." "Stop trying to change the subject." "Did tisdale and fisk know each other?" "We haven't found a connection." "Why?" "What about motive?" "He's a serial killer." "He doesn't need motive." "Beckett." "Okay." "They got a match off the print." "Kyle cabot--He's in brooklyn." "We got him." " Stay here." " Scout'shonor." "Kyle cabot!" "Nypd!" "Open up!" "Kyle cabot!" "Nypd!" "Room clear." "Room clear." "All clear." "You should invite him to join your book club." "Beckett!" "You gotta see this." "Oh, that's creepy." "I was never a scout." "Hey, beckett." "Alison's blouse." "I'm guessing he kept trophies." ".22 caliber." "Show me your hands!" "Hands in the air!" "Let us see your hands, cabot!" "Let me see your hands!" "He's still not speaking." "State medical records indicate He's got pervasive developmental disorder." "Well, that explains his fixation with me." "P.D.D. Sometimes manifests In an obsession with a single subject." "Yeah, well, your superfan also has a history of delusions." "Guess who his caseworker was." "Alison tisdale." "Yeah." "Her files indicate that he was on pretty heavy antipsychotics." "Limited telligence, Thinks he has a personal relationship with his hero" "Looks like your profile was right, detective beckett." "So... what, that--That's it?" "What more do you want?" "Evidence is in his apartment," "We can connect him with the three victims" "Two from the diner where he worked," "And tisdale was his social worker." "Call the d.A. Get him a legal aid." " Okay." " I'm--That's, uh, it's too easy." "The reader would never buy it." "This isn't one of your books, castle." "Out here, we find a gustanding over a body with a gun," "He's usually the guy who did it." "You know this kid was in and out of the system for years?" "Doesn't seem like he ever got the proper treatment" "Until alison tisdale took over his case file." "She's the one who got him a job at the diner," "And her notes seem to say heas doing okay." "Well, you can let the d.A. Worry about all that now." "Our job is done." "Yeah." "Hey, um, can you leave the box?" "I'll take care of it tomorrow." "Castle, i'm kinda glad that you killed off storm." "Less competition." "Mm." "That's $20 to you, cannell." "You're bluffin', patterson." "Cough up some of that tv money and you'll find out." "Ah, bet's to you, ricky." "Castle?" " Castle!" " Hmm?" " Bet's to you." " Oh." "Sorry." "I know that look" " Story trouble." "Yeah, you never should've killed off storm." "That was a big mistake." "I w" " I would've retired him." "Or crippled him." "I mean, the man was money." "You don't see me Puttin' a bullet through alex cross' head." "Yeah, my boy shane scully's gonna be fueling my private jet" "Long after people have all forgotten about storm." "Oh, you know what?" "Just for that, i am gonna call." "So what's the problem, ricky?" "Maybe we can help." "I'm working on this thing." "It starts with a famous author." "Some psycho starts staging murders Like the way he does in his books." "That's pretty self-Aggrandizing, isn't it?" "This is castle we're talking about." "So..." "The crime scenes are clean." "Doesn't leave any fingerprints." "Doesn't leave any d.N.A." "But the psycho writes the author a fan letter With his prints all over it." "Well, that leads the cops to his apartment," "Where they find enough evidence to convict him." "And then?" " That's it." " That's it?" "Yeah." "They arrest him." "That's terrible." "No wonder you're blocked." "And here's another thing" "The guy doesn't leave his prints at the scene of the crime," "But he sends a letter with his prints on it?" "Ahya lost me there." " And what about a twist?" " Yeah." "Where's the twist?" "Yeah, right." "Like, uh..." "like, maybe somebody set this kid up." "That's what your story needs" "The character who thinks the kid's innocent," "Keeps digging until he finds the truth." "Oh, i have just the guy." "What are you doing?" "It's a novelist's habit" "Poking through other people's mail," "Checking their medicine cabinets." "Why are you still here?" "I just came by to give you this." "It's a little something to..." "Memorialize our brief partnership." "Don't look so suspicious." "Go on." "Open it." "I got you an advance copy." "I even signed it to you." "Not that you're a fan." "Thanks." "That's actually kind of..." "Sweet." " Well..." " Well..." "It was nice to have met you, detective beckett." "He didn't." "Oh!" "He did!" "Richard castle, you are under arrest For felony theft and obstruction of justice." "You forgot making you look bad." "You know, for a minute there," "You actually made me believe that you were human." "Cuff him." "Ooh!" "Bondage." "My safe word is "apples."" "Oh, there's no nd to be gentle." "How'd you find me anyway?" "I'm a detective." "That's what i do." "My mother told you, didn't she?" "By the way, the rose petals in the tisdale murder?" "They're grandiflora, not hybrid teas." "I'll make a note of it." "Yeah, you probably should Since it means kyle cabot is innocent." "Thank you, officer." " Hello, father." " Hello, daughter." "I wish i could say i was surprised." "It's my fault, really." "He never had a father figure." "Oh, that's not true, mother." "I had lots of father figures." "I see you've met captain montgomery And detective beckett." "And they have agreed to drop the charges If you agree to behave." "No more interference with this case, mr." "Castle." "Do we understand each other?" "Yeah." "But you still got the wrong guy." "I... really." "Darling, must you always Have to make a comment?" "Nah." "No, no, no." "Don't tell me that he got to you." "Please." "He didn't get to me." "She did." "Who--Alison?" "Marvin fisk, first murder." "Kyle knew him from the diner." "And then he kills alison, his social worker." "And then he kills kendra pitney, also from the diner." "So?" "So he starts with a murder of convenience" "And then escalates to a murder of somebody he knows very well" "And then goes back to a murder of convenience?" "It doesn't make any sense." "Somebody set up kyle to take the fall." "Somebody who knew enough about his fixation with me" "To use it to get away with murder." "That means we're not looking for a serial killer." "We're looking for a good, old-Fashioned murderer-- Someone with motive." "You think the victims were somehow related?" "Police would've found it by now." "Now if i were writing the story," "The killer would've only wanted one of the victims dead." "He would've killed the other ones just to cover up the crime." "How do you get away with one murder by committing two more?" "At one death, you look for motive." "At two, you look for a connection." "At three, you look for someone like kyle." "At three, you don't need motive," "Because mentally unstable serial killers don't usually have one." "That makes about as much sense as "mousetrap."" "I did that play eight times a week for a year." "I still have no idea what it's about." "Castle was right." "If he was trying to follow his boo," "Then the roses on alison's body were wrong," "And fisk should've been suffocated by a plastic bag," "Not strangled with a necktie." "And kendra's dress Should've been blue, not yellow." "For an obsessive, It would've been impossible not to get the details right." "Well, if it wasn't him, then who was it?" "The killer had to have known both his intended victim And kyle fairly well." "The only victim that had any real knowledge" "Of kyle's obsessive condition Would've been alison tisdale." "Alison's the key." "She's the one that the killer is trying to hide." "Well, as far as we know, she wasn't seeing anyone." "And none of her other case profiles fit the profile." "Well, somebody had to know something about her." "So if the killer found out about kyle through alison," "Then alison must've been the intended target." "Somebody wanted alison dead." "We just have to figure out why." "If i have to keep bailing you out," "You're gonna need to raise my allowance... by a lot." "Mine, too." "Hi, i'm rick castle." "I have an appointment to see mr." "Tisdale." "=====" "===" "Is he now?" "This is not what it looks like." "This, uh... okay, this is exactly what it looks like," "But i can explain." "You coming?" "Did alison ever mention Having enemies or being threatened?" "People loved her." "All she wanted was to make the world a better place." "I told all this to the other detective." "I know, sir." "We're just following up." "Did alison know anybody who could've profited From her death?" "Mr. Castle, i may be rich, but my daughter was not." "She abhorred money." "What little she had, she gave to charity." "Thank you, sir." "Mr. Tisdale, "fortune" magazine estimated your net worth At nearly $100 million." "Is that true?" "I don't check day to day." "But it's in the ballpark?" "I've been lucky, yes." "Appreciate your time." "Wh-What happens to all that money If something happens to you?" "Castle." "Half of my estate goes to my charitable foundation," "And the rest to my children." "I mean, my son." "Thank you." "What was that all about?" "He's dying." "Who's dying?" "Tisdale?" "You want a hot dog?" "I want a hot dog." "What do you take on your" " Aah!" "Apples, apples, apples!" " What makes you think he's dying?" " Okay!" " You see those pictures in his office?" " Yeah." "He's much thinner now--Like sick thin, not workout thin." "His daughter was just murdered." "And the way he kept touching his hair, like he's self-Conscious." "You think it was a piece?" "It's a good one, but it's new to him." "The chemo's relatively recent." "And he was wearing makeup." "He's trying to look healthier than he is." "Doesn't want his shareholders to know." "So he's got cancer." "That doesn't mean that he's terminal." "But it's a much better story if he is." "You interview the brother?" "There was never a reason to." "Well, now there is." " You got hot mustard?" " Yeah." " Harrison tisdale." " Yeah." "Hey, mitch, let's get these pallets on the truck." "Detective kate beckett." "Rick castle." "We'd like to ask you some questions about your sister." "Yeah, anything i can do." "Uh, let's head inside." "Last time i saw her?" "About a month ago at dad's." "You know, i... still can't believe she's gone." "Were you close?" "Ah, everybody loved her." "I mean, my sister" "She just wanted to see the best in people," "Even that kid who killed her." "You know, she did everything she could to help that guy." "Even brought him around here once To see if i could get him a job." "But you didn't." "I can't afford to, all right?" "My employees mess up, I lose my bond." "I don't know." "Maybe if i'd helped him..." "Things would be different." "How'd your sister react when yourad told you he was dying?" "She was upset." "We both were." "Now that she's dead, your inheritance stands to double." "What are you suggesting?" "You already caught the killer." "Yeah, we did, but the first thing his lawyers will do Is shift suspicion to someone else, someone with motive." "And then they'll stick me on the stand And ask me why i didn't investigate," "And then the jury will have doubts." "And we don't want them to have doubts, do we?" "No." "So you'll have to excuse me for asking," "But where were you the night of your sister's murder?" "I was traveling... on business." "Actually, i was out of the country For all three murders." "Here." "Check the stamps on that if it's useful." "A u.S. Passport." "Absolutely unassailable." "I was sure it was him." "Oh, don't take it so hard." "After all, you're just a writer." "What?" "Nothing." "What?" "Oh, come on." "He's lying." "I mean, i get him knowing where he was The night of his sister's murder," "But the other two victims?" "He didn't pause, he didn't ask for dates," "He didn't even check his calendar," "But he was ready with an alibi." "In my experience, innocent people do not prepare alibis." "So i was right." "Okay, give me the dates and flights." "Why can't you just admit i was right?" "Because he totally fooled you." "He totally bought the alibi." "I had a fleeting moment of self-Doubt." "So?" "His credit card company confirms He paid for three round-Trip tickets." "Dates coincide with the three murders." "So according to his credit card, tisdale was out of the country." "Wait a minute." "So now i'm not right?" "Which means the passport stamps were forged." "I'm gonna call passport control and have 'em check their logs." "That's, uh, not how he would've done it." "You got a better idea, ricky?" "Second passport." "And how would he get one of those?" "Oh, with his money?" "Trust me." "On the black market, it would be a piece of cake." "So he leaves the country on his own," "Comes back with the other passport, commits murder," "Flies out and then comes back in on his own." "Perfect alibi, perfect murder." "But almost impossible to prove." "Unless you find the second passport." "Gotta be freaked after your little meet and greet." "Keep eyeballs on him." "If he moves, i wanna know." "The things that people will do for money." "This guy killed his own sister in cold blood" "And two more people to cover it up."
