That was...

Oh, yeah.

Top ten, at least.

Ma-maybe top 20.

Not top ten?

Well...

There was paris.

Kaual.

Yankee stadium.

Oh, that place in the poconos. yes.

Mykonos.

Coney island.

And then there was staten island.
oh, and the hot air balloon.

The westminster dog show.

That was...
that's only nine.

Well, the night we made alexis.

We have had fun,
haven't we?

Oh, yeah.

Makes you wonder why we ever
got divorced. i know, right?

I mean, except for you
having an affair

With your director
and moving to malibu

And serving me
with divorce papers,

I think
we really had a chance.

I'm moving back.

Back to new york?

I miss it.

I miss it. i miss alexis.
i miss you.

Uh, what about your career?

Oh, l.a.'s changed.

Uh, the juicy roles
just aren't there

For an actress
of my caliber.

I need a change,
like broadway maybe.

The legitimate stage.
yeah, but-

Time-out, hey.

Meredith, hold on, have you
really thought this through?

What's to think about?

You, me, alexis-all living
in the same city-

It's gonna be
just like old times.

Starring
nathan fillion

Vic's
an african-american male,

Early 20s.

Multiple stab wounds, contusions
on the arms and torso.

The body was discovered
by a homeless guy.

He was beaten,
maybe tortured.

Looks like some kind of
ritualistic killing. you think?

Hello?

You okay?

I had sex with my ex-wife
this morning.

My first ex-wife-meredith-
alexis' mom.

And she's thinking
about moving back to new york.

Do you know what that
would mean to me?

That would be
a very special brand of hell-

The hell of a deep-fried
twinkie. a deep-fried twinkie?

Yeah, the guilty pleasure
that you know is bad for you,

So you only do it once, maybe
twice a year for the novelty.

But a deep-fried twinkie
every day is- castle!

What? crime scene. dead
body. little respect here.

I don't think he can hear me. okay,
how about a little self-respect then?

Fine.
check out his mouth.

There's probably
a little pouch in there.

How did you know?
open it.

What does it mean?

It's vodun.
vodun?

What, is that some kind
of "star trek" thing?

No, dude, it's a religion,

Practiced primarily
in west africa.

What? i read, too.

The, uh, blood in the bowl-
most likely animal.

Part of the ceremony.

The pouch is an offering
to the spirits,

But i don't recognize the symbol.
well, if you did, you'd be a suspect.

So how do you know about all this?
research for my sixth derrick storm novel.

"unholy storm."
yes, thank you.

And, uh, vodun's not just
limited to west africa.

It's also practiced by haitian
and dominican communities

Right here in new york. have c.s.u. run
the pouch. have an m.e. test the blood.

And let's get his fingerprints
in the system,

See if there's an i.d.
this ritual-i assume then

It was done for a specific purpose?
that's only if you're assuming

That the guy doing this was
rational. no, no, she's right.

It might not make sense
to you or me,

But, uh, if we found out
why he did this,

We might find your killer.
yeah, that's kinda how we do it.

Do you still have the research?
as a matter of fact, i do.

"the purpose
of their rituals

"was to make contact
with the spirits

"and the spirit world, to gain
their favor through sacrifice.

"storm was pretty sure
he'd sacrifice anything

"when he saw the amulet swaying
rhythmically back and forth

Between the woman's bare,
glistening breasts."

"unholy storm"?
you dragged me in here

So that you could read
from your own book?

Hey, there's a lot
of good stuff in here,

And some of it is factual.
where are you going?

I have a murder to solve. i
thought that's what we were doing.

Okay, look, i'm so-
i- i am just kidding.

I do have another source.

And you call your ex-wife
a "deep-fried twinkie."

Oh, trust me-as annoying
and intrusive you think i am,

She is a million times
worse. what about alexis?

Maybe she misses her mom.

Maybe it would be a good idea to
have her back in town. yeah, right.

This once,
when alexis was 9,

Meredith dropped by to
take her out to lunch. so?

In paris. paris!

And then she acted like
there was nothing wrong.

She's auntie mame on meth.
if she's so bad,

Then why'd you sleep with her
this morning?

Let me tell you something
about crazy people.

The sex is unbelievable.
how shallow are you?

Very. you know, i don't
have time for this.

Someone order lunch?

Detective beckett,

Meet my other source.

The symbol's a vever.

A representation of one
who can open crossroads

Into the spirit world.

Michelle taught me everything
i know about vodun.

Which obviously
isn't much.

That scene
with the topless girl

And the chicken blood-
what was that?

I took a few liberties.

You know, from the design,

I'd say this isn't haitian,
jamaican or dominican.

This is hard-core nigerian.

What about this charm?

the charm's an offering
to a vodun saint, or loa.

In this case, it's ogun.

He's usually called upon
to help find something

That's been lost. so our
killer's looking for something.

Something the victim once possessed.
maybe that's why he was tortured.

Could the kind of ceremony

Indicate what the killer was
looking for? unfortunately, no.

How do you know
so much about this?

Because i practice.

My junior year,
i spent abroad in nigeria.

Fell in love with
the religion, the cuisine.

Michelle owns the best nigerian
restaurant in the city.

It's funny. i never would've
pegged you for the occult type.

Occult is in the eye
of the beholder, detective.

As bizarre
as vodun may seem to you,

I assure you, the beliefs
of western religions

Seem just as strange
to outsiders.

How do you like
the cow's foot stew?

Cow's foot?

You said it was beef.

Technically, cow is beef.
besides, you liked it.

So...

This murder-is, um, is that
a part of the ceremony, as well?

No. vodun is a peaceful,
deeply spiritual religion

Practiced by
millions of people

Across the world every day.

I doubt whoever did this
is very peaceful.

No.

Your killer may be vodun,

But that's not why
this man's dead.

He was killed

Because he had something
the killer desperately wants.

And he's not gonna stop
until he finds it.

Excuse me.

Beckett.

Yeah, it's ryan.

We got another one.

Victim's name
is darcy cho.

Second-year lawyer
at a firm downtown.

Multiple stab wounds, just like the last one.
neighbor found the door open, called the super.

This is what they found. the
staging is exactly the same.

Yeah. when they saw
what they had,

West side boys gave us a call.
looks like she put up a fight.

Defensive wounds on her forearm.
paraphernalia is the same as the other murder.

And i found another charm
in her mouth.

Anything back from c.s.u.
on the other scene?

Candle's basic paraffin,
found in any bodega.

Figure it's gonna be
the same with this one.

The cloth
is a common red flannel.

Glass bowl-made in china.

What about the blood?
chicken blood.

Maybe she used this purse
to defend herself.

We know he hasn't found what
he's looking for. how do you know?

The charm in her mouth.

He still needs the spirits
to guide him. chapter ten.

Find out what you can
about darcy.

See if she knew
our first victim.

I wanna know how
these murders are connected.

Right.

Mr. simmons,
you wanted to see me?

Alexis, i'm afraid
we have some bad news.

What? no, is it my dad?
did he get shot?

It's not your dad, sweetie.

Mom?
it's your grandfather.

He passed away
this morning.

Grandfather?

I know. it's a lot
to take in.

Mom, i have
a calculus test today.

Given the circumstances,
i'm sure mr. brown

Will let you make it up.

Thank you, mr. simmons,
for your compassion

In this trying time.

Let's go, honey.
lots to do.

Uh, mom, grandpa died
six years ago.

I know, but a death
in the family-

Always a good excuse
to get out of school.

No, it's a creepy excuse.

Come on, i need
some alexis time.

Do you realize i've been
in town a whole week,

And we haven't even gone shopping?
we're going shopping on saturday...

When i don't have school. but
bendel's is having its sale now!

I studied all week for this test.
okay, why bother learning math

If you don't get to apply it
in real-life situations,

Like calculating your savings?

Come on, what's the harm?

Unless you really
want to go back

And tell mr. simmons
your mother's a liar.

Fine, but promise we're not
leaving the city.

Come on!

It doesn't make sense.
why would someone kill her?

Ms. button,
your office manager

Said that you and darcy
were close.

We joined the firm
at the same time.

Neither of us knew anyone
in the city,

So we just, sort of,
became best friends.

Do you recognize
this man?

We think he and darcy
might be connected.

No, i don't...

What happened to him?

That's what we're trying
to find out.

Oh, god. you mean
this is what happ-

Who would do something
like this?

I spoke to jill button,
darcy's b.f.f.

She said she's pretty familiar

With all of darcy's friends
and clients,

But she's never seen
the vic before.

The law firm does
some corporate stuff,

Some immigration work,
but there's nothing

To indicate any involvement in something
like this. so our first victim gets killed

In a religious ritual,
and then history repeats itself

With this lawyer the very same day? oh,
there's a lawyer joke there somewhere,

I just can't think of it. and then
the killer tosses the woman's apartment

Looking for what
- money, drugs, what? as far as we can tell, darcy was clean.

Yo, we got a hit
on the first victim's prints.

I.n.s. database.
jamal buonsi?

Nigerian national.

Entered the u.s. on a student
visa 18 months ago.

Was enrolled at n.y.u.
as an exchange student.

His visa expired a year ago. yep.

Looks like he decided
to stay. lucky him.

Any word on his last known whereabouts?
yeah, i was able to track down the family

That he lived with
when he was a student.

Last time they saw him,
he was in a cab

On his way to kennedy. i take it
that's not the end of the story.

Turns out that jamal
and their 13-year-old son

Were pretty close.

Couple of months ago,
the folks discovered

That they were still in touch.
jamal's cell phone number,

Billed to an address on east 3rd. that's just
a few blocks from where jamal's body was found.

East 3rd's right near
darcy cho's law firm.

And you said darcy cho's firm
did some work on immigration.

Yeah. you and esposito
take a ride down there.

I want you to look
at darcy cho's client list.

Maybe jamal was using another name. we'll
get a warrant for the billing address.

Find out
what this guy wants

Before this son of a bitch
kills again, all right? yes, sir.

I wasn't expecting
a doorman building,

But a 6-story walk-up?

You should've seen
my first apartment.

Three flights up
on an air shaft

Over a restaurant.

The whole place smelled
like chicken wings.

They come here looking
for a new start,

And this is
what they get...

Slum housing?

Still, for some, it's better
than what they left.

Sounds like jamal
didn't live alone.

Yes?

Detective beckett, nypd.

No!

Hands! show me
your hands!

Immigration.

I'm not immigration.
everybody, just relax, okay?

If you're
not from immigration...

Then who are you?
i'm a homicide detective.

I'm looking for information
on jamal buonsi.

We don't know any jamal.

Then you wanna tell me
why his cell phone

Is billed to this address?

Detective.

Same red flannel.

What is it?

Whose bed is that?

We can link the red flannel
to two other murders.

In this country, that puts you
in a lot of trouble.

I've done nothing wrong.
two people are dead.

One of them is a man
that you lived with.

Same red flannel, same candles.
and again, here.

Why did you kill her, azi?

I don't know this woman.
i haven't killed anyone.

So you're telling me that
it's all just a coincidence

That these things were found in
your apartment under your bed?

They weren't mine!

They were
for someone else.

Who? do you want
to go back to nigeria?

Because i can arrange that
with a single phone call.

So can he.

Who?

Jamal was your friend,
wasn't he?

Yes.

Then don't you want us
to catch who killed him?

Don't you want justice?

His name is charles.

Charles oni.
charles oni.

Immigrants know this man.

He owns
the places where we live.

He owns the places
where we work.

And what about jamal?
did he work for him, too?

At his store on canal street.

But it-

It-it-it was only
temporary.

He was going to
save his money to-

To apply for a visa,
become legal.

And oni had a problem
with that?

No.

Yesterday, when oni came
looking for jamal,

He said jamal
had taken something.

But jamal was not a thief.

But oni insisted.

He say-
he knew my father

Was the priest
of our village.

So he made me to show him
how to invoke the spirits.

What did jamal take?

Oni didn't say.

Why didn't you ask?

'cause i was scared.

Because
he would've killed me.

The only reason
i am telling you this now

Is because
jamal was a friend.

He did not deserve to die
like that.

Oni was wrong.

City records
show no vendor's license

For a charles oni
on canal street.

Well, the guy's
exploiting illegals.

I doubt he's gonna use
his real name.

Clearly not. the apartment
is owned by a robert burnett.

No listing
in the tri-state area,

And the address
is a p.o. box in jersey.

Yo, yo,
law firm's a dead end.

They've never heard of anyone
named jamal buonsi,

And there was nothing suspicious
in darcy's client list.

That's perfect,

'cause our suspect's
never heard of darcy cho.

We still have no idea what
our two victims have in common.

Excuse me, ma'am. no, i'm
not gonna wait downstairs.

Do you have any idea who pays
your salary? me and my taxes.

Is that-
uh, yep.

Richard! over here!

Deep-fried twinkie?
afraid so.

Meredith! what a surprise.

I know. isn't it great?

In l.a., no one ever
just stops by.

Don't you just love this town?
more and more by the minute.

Uh, meredith, these are
detectives ryan, esposito

And detective beckett.

Oh, beckett-
your new muse.

Alexis told me
all about it,

And i simply
had to stop by.

You know, i was
his inspiration once.

Were you now?

Still am, from time to time.
right, kitten?

Kitten?

I had this dream once,

Only i was naked
and far less embarrassed.

Anyway, we were
in the neighborhood

And i have a dinner tonight,
so i thought i would

Drop alexis here instead of
schlepping all the way downtown.

Is that s.j.p.'s purse?
s.j.p.?

Sarah jessica parker.

She wore one just like it
to the armani show in milan.

It was on "fashion scoop daily"
last week.

Well, actually, this purse belongs to
one of our victims. oh, that is so tragic.

More tragic, of course,
if it'd been the real thing.

But... still. what, are
you saying this was fake?

Well, look at the leather
and the stitching.

It's totally a knockoff.
i mean, it's good enough

To fool the untrained shopper, but
i have a retail eye. canal street.

Canal's where they sell the
knockoffs-watches, luggage. and handbags.

Darcy's office
is right near canal.

If she was gonna buy a designer knockoff... she
might've got it from the stall where jamal works.

Oni's stall. that's what
connects our two victims.

Get a sketch from azi.

Maybe one of
the other vendors

Will be able to i.d. oni's
stall. you got it, boss.

See? i always
was your lucky charm.

Just think of the things
we'll do once i move back.

That's oni.

That's oni

Charles oni.

Now we have a face
to go with the name.

Someone on canal street's
gotta know this guy.

Where's castle?

He went home.

Deep-fried twinkie, huh?

I didn't ask.

Why don't you
get a corkboard

Like a normal person?

Why don't you knock like a
normal person? you know meredith

Kidnapped alexis from school today?
and we all paid a hefty ransom.

It's outrageous. you remember
your touring production

Of "a chorus line"?

I almost had to repeat fifth
grade. oh, that was different.

i was working
and trying to be a mother.

I wasn't just waltzing
into town like a diva,

Disrupting everybody's life.
that's who she is. you know that.

Have you considered
what it's going to be like

Having meredith back
in new york,

How it's going to affect you? you
mean how it's going to affect you.

All of us, actually.

Well, what do you want me
to do, mother?

It's not like i could ban her
from new york.

And this whole theater thing-
it's ridiculous.

You know she hasn't
landed a role in months?

That's right.
i made a couple of calls.

Why do you think
she's moving back to new york?

She can't get arrested
in l.a.

I wonder if she could get
arrested in new york.

I know people now. and
does she honestly think

That she's just gonna show up
with a reel of, what,

"according to jim"
guest spots,

And push
some real actor aside,

Some actor who has...

Who has
dedicated their entire life

To the greatest profession
in the world?

You don't choose the theater.

The theater chooses you.

Why did you marry her,
anyway?

I don't know, mother.
maybe she reminded me of you.

Look at this crap.

All my years on the force,
i never understood

Why we never shut these
guys down. come here.

See, this is supposed
to be a gucci.

But if you look close,

Instead of the "g.g.," the initials say
"c.c." i don't know. that's pretty close, bro.

But not exact. and that's
what keeps these guys

From getting busted.
see, technically,

It's not an imitation. it's
an homage. an "homage." right.

You ladies picking out something
pretty for yourselves?

You got the warrant?
which one is it?

This place has been trashed.

You guys,
same chanel bags.

That's weird-shredded,
like our victim's purse.

Maybe darcy wasn't
using it to defend herself.

Beckett.

This one looks different.

It doesn't look like
the ones that we found

In the other victims' mouths.

I've seen
this symbol before.

That's the symbol
for death.

Why would a guy
mark his own stall

With the death symbol?

He wouldn't. the symbol
was meant for him.

Charles oni's
been marked for death.

The linings
have all been cut out.

All of this stuff
is imported, right?

Yeah. you know, knockoffs would
be the perfect delivery system

For a smuggler. yeah, but
what are they smuggling?

The only person
who can tell us that

Has been marked for death.
well, if he is still alive,

He doesn't have any incentive
to stick around.

Castle?

Where's he going?

Notify passport control.
get 'em the sketch of oni

And tell 'em to put his name
and aliases on the no-fly list.

You got it, boss.

Castle?

Castle!
i'm on tv.

are you having a breakdown?
not a breakdown. a breakthrough.

And i really am ruggedly handsome, aren't
i? i'm waiting for the breakthrough.

Look behind me.
if that camera's recording...

Then we'd be able to see
who trashed the stall.

What can i say?

People like to see themselves
on television.

I mean, you would not believe
the things people do

In front of a camera.
i'm listening.

Like, this one chick,
she's standing there

Right in front of the store,
and she starts to take off

Her, uh-
just show us the recordings

From the past couple
of days, okay?

Her blood sugar gets low, she gets
a little cranky. zip it... kitten.

I'm sorry, but i can't
show you the recording.

You need a warrant?
wouldn't help. sold it.

Sold the camera in the window?
some guy rolls in here yesterday,

Asked for that one
specifically.

I told him we got others,
ones with boxes.

But he wants the one in the
window. what does he look like?

6', big, black,
had an accent.

Was it him?

No, he owns the stall across
the street. you know him?

We say hi. but this guy-
he seemed, uh, heavy.

Not in the physical sense-just
something about him, you know?

Like he'd seen things
- bad things. what else?

He paid cash-retail.

I mean, at my prices? he didn't
even try to negotiate once.

Would you be willing to work
with a police sketch artist?

Wouldn't a real picture
be better?

You said that he took
the camera and the recordings.

Lady, this is
an electronics store.

I got cameras
all over this place.

Yeah, he does look like
the kind of guy

Who'd paint a death symbol on your floor. what
i don't get is, why would he want the camera?

'cause he had the same idea we did. we wanted
the camera because we wanted to find him.

Well, what was he looking for?
and what was inside the purses?

Esposito. yeah. really?

When? no, no, no.
absolutely.

Bring him in.

T.s.a. just pulled
charles oni

Out of the security line
at j.f.k. off our sketch.

Good call, bro.
thank you.

Where was he going?

Nigeria. under the name
robert burnett.

I don't know
what you're talking about.

I was going home
to visit my family.

Then why'd you only have
a one-way ticket?

My mother is ill.

I did not know
when i'd be returning.

Must be nice, being able
to see your mother,

Something that jamal buonsi
will never get a chance to do.

We know that you are involved
in both of these murders.

Azi-the man that you
intimidated into finding jamal-

He is very eager
to testify against you.

Apparently, he takes
his religious beliefs

Very seriously.

Doesn't believe vodun should be used
to kill people. i didn't kill anyone.

Then why were you
looking for jamal?

Tell me something-
what's in the purse?

What are you smuggling,
mr. oni?

I want a lawyer.

Are you sure? because if
you get a lawyer,

You'll be out of here
in about an hour,

And i won't let you
leave town,

And that's exactly what you
want, isn't it, to leave town?

You scare a lot of people,
mr. oni-

Immigrants, illegals.

Tell me...

Who scares you?

I don't know this man.

He knows you.

Matter of fact,
he's marked you for death.

Jamal worked for you,
and he's dead.

Darcy cho-she just
bought a purse from you,

And now she's dead.

Why?

I won't talk
without protection.

I can't protect you
unless you tell me from what.

His name is mukhtar baylor.

Very bad, very dangerous.

Former child soldier.

They call him
"the butcher of benin."

What's he doing
in the u.s.?

He traffics-drugs, women,
whatever will make him money.

It is him that killed jamal
and the woman.

Why?

If i tell you,

You will protect me?

Oni's a counterfeiter.

He gets papers for illegals-
passports, visas,

Whatever they need.
a real friend to the community.

Oni also provided baylor
with documents

For his traffickers. sewn
inside the lining of his purses.

Yeah, which he keeps in the back of the stall.
only he didn't count on "fashion scoop daily."

The web site. yeah, the
article on sarah jessica parker?

Appears there was a run on the
purses. yeah. our first vic, jamal-

Yeah?
he sold bags out front.

He didn't know
about oni's scam.

When he ran out of bags,
he sold the ones from the back.

Why didn't he just get oni
to forge more documents?

It takes time, and baylor doesn't have time.
the papers are for baylor's brother in africa.

The nigerian officials
are closing in on him

For drug trafficking.

If baylor doesn't get him
to the u.s. soon,

They'll execute him. oni says baylor
operates out of a warehouse downtown.

Find this dirtball before he
murders someone else, all right?

Where did the bag
come from?

Oh, sorry, that's mine.

I felt, given everything
that's happened,

I should be prepared.

I got this
special order.

And look.

"writer"?
cool, huh?

You don't need a vest. if
you shoot me, do i not bleed?

You're not gonna get shot.
and you know why?

Because you are going
nowhere near the gunfire.

You're staying here. yes,
we've seen how well that works.

Stay here, castle,
and don't do anything.

All right, this is
our guy. got him? yeah.

Let's go.

dad! dad! dad!

dad! dad! dad!
dad! dad! dad!

dad! dad! dad!

dad! dad! dad!

I'm gonna-
i'm gonna just get that.

Hi.

Alexis? what's wrong?
richard, guess what.

Meredith?
i found a place.

a perfect place.
it's light, spacious

And only a million six.

But the text said "alexis."
it said it was an emergency.

Well, how else was i
gonna get you to call me back?

B- but-
are you at the loft?

Mm, i was in the neighborhood
and i had to pee,

So i had eduardo let me in.
so i called the realtor,

And here's the thing-i may
need you to cosign the loan.

Meredith, we're divorced.

I- i'm not gonna cosign
a loan for you.

It's for alexis, too. i mean,
it's only a one-bedroom,

But you want her
to be comfortable when she visits, right?

Look, can i
call you back? i'm right in the middle

Of capturing a very dangerous
nigerian drug lord...

It's kind of a thing.

Okay, later then.
hey, richard?

Yeah.

Thanks.

For what?
putting up with me.

I know i've been
a handful, but...

Once things settle down,
i think it's gonna be great.

That's the guy.
that's the guy!

Hey! hey!

Hey! the-

Hey! the-

Are you even listening
to me?

Hey!

This is gonna bite me
in the ass.

Castle!

What do you mean
you didn't get the plate?

Uh, there was a- it was
coming- what kind of car was it?

Uh, it was big. it was an
s.u.v., i think. you think?

What about the color?
um, black. uh, dark blue.

Uh, it's-it's very hard
being a witness.

I don't know how you guys
ever get a conviction.

I'm usually really good
with the detailed stuff.

I just-i got distracted. yeah, you
were rolling calls during a tac strike.

Interesting. he was supposed
to be inside the building!

What about the color
of your shirt?

What is that right now?
is that black or blue?

I- i-i couldn't quite tell.
the sun was in my eyes.

Weird.

Really weird.

It's the same red flannel.

Hey... vodun guy's
a yoga nut.

Well, just 'cause you're
a cold-blooded killer

Doesn't mean you
don't take care of yourself.

You guys.

The camera
from the electronics store.

See? not a complete bust.

There's jamal.

And darcy cho.

Go back,
go back, go back, go back. okay.

More. more. all right.

Stop. well, looks like
someone else besides darcy

Bought a chanel bag from jamal.
and she's carrying a yoga mat.

That's why he bought the camera.

Baylor's looking for her.
he wants his passport

So he's hunting down everyone that bought
that purse. eight million people in the city.

He'll never find her. he found
darcy cho. he'll find her.

Not if we find her first.

You zoom in on her hand.

She's got a coffee
from java loft.

So? so we're looking for a yoga studio

Near a java loft
somewhere off canal street.

Gotta be a dozen possibilities.
baylor's got a head start.

Yes, but i've got
an awesome service plan now.

We're looking
for yoga girl.

You guys see if anyone else
bought that purse.

There are four java lofts
within five blocks

Of canal street.
and yoga studios?

The time stamp
on the video was 3:22.

We're looking
for a yoga studio nearby

With a class that ends
at about 3:00.

maybe the woman was
on her way to yoga class.

You ever try
doing a half moon pose

Cranked up on caffeine?

It completely throws off
your chi.

Trust me, she bought her coffee after
class. a class finishing around 3:00 p.m.

Would give her enough time
to buy a coffee.

But enough time to finish it
before canal street.

Got it.

Nypd.

Do you know this girl?

Diana edwards. what's she
done? what do you mean?

You're the second cop that's come in
looking for her. another cop was here?

Yeah, he just left a few minutes ago.
baylor. we need diana's address right now.

Diana edwards! nypd!
open up!

Can i kick it down?

Sorry, kitten.

Nypd!

Okay, okay!
take it easy!

Detective beckett, nypd.
are you diana edwards? yeah.

Hey!
is everything okay?

Fine.

We have a video surveillance
of you purchasing a chanel bag

On canal street two days ago. wow,
i know you guys are cracking down

On the knockoffs, but i
- where's the bag?

Over there.

Excuse me!

Hey! what are you
doing that for?

What's going on?

You are a very lucky lady. i
don't understand. am i in trouble?

No. but from now on,
always buy retail.

Detective beckett. i need a unit at 91st and broadway

Call 9-1-1!

Give me the passport!
put down your weapon, now!

Give me the passport!

Baylor, any minute now,

This place is gonna be
crawling with cops!

Don't make things worse
than they are!

Give me what i want, and i walk away! i've
written this scene about a hundred times.

We give him what he wants,
you know how it ends?

Badly. and by "badly," i
mean us dead. just stay down.

you stay down. i can't
shoot him from down here.

Yeah, he can't
shoot you, either.

I can't see him.

He's moving.

I've only got
two rounds left.

I need a clean shot.

I gotta get eyes
on him somehow.

What's with you and phones?

I'm not playing games!

I don't have an angle on him
from down here.

I will kill you both!
okay.

When we shoot,
he shoots.

He'll be exposed.

I'll set the pick,
you take him down.

Set the pick with what?

This. you're gonna get yourself shot.

Not if you make your shot count. castle!

Just be ready.

This is your last warning!

Now!

I'd say this deserves
a toast.

Baylor's gonna make it.

You okay, castle?

My first gun battle.

your last gun battle.

Don't be
so pessimistic.

I think i handled myself
pretty well.

Yeah. you probably
saved my life. probably?

I definitely saved
your life.

And you know what
that means, don't you?

It means you owe me.
owe you what?

Whatever i want.

And you know exactly
what i want, don't you?

You know what i really,
really want you to do?

Never... ever...

Call me "kitten."

Dad?

Yeah, sweetie?

Hypothetically,

Is it okay to love someone

But not want them around
all the time?

You mean mom?

I love her. i do.

I know you do,
and i'm glad you do.

But, dad,
she drives me crazy.

Yeah.

That's what moms do.

But if she lives here...

Richard?
richard. alexis.

Your secret's safe
with me.

Hello? anyone home? hello?

You will not believe
what happened.

I got a call from my agent.

I've been offered a huge
role in a new indie film. oh-

Mom, that's awesome.

It is. but... here's
the bad news, sweetie.

I'm gonna
have to put my plans

To move back to new york on hold.
oh... how ever will we manage?

Well, that's okay, mom.

It sounds like a huge
opportunity. it is. it really is.

Besides, it's not like
broadway's going anywhere.

I can always do theater
when i'm too old for hi-def.

Uh, so when do you need
to be back in l.a.?

Tomorrow. i need to get back
to my hotel and pack,

But i wanted to tell you
the good news.

There's so much fun stuff
we didn't get to do.

But i'll be back soon,
i promise. i know.

I love you, mom.

Thanks for taking me
shopping. oh, anytime.

Good-bye, martha.

Meredith.

You know i always hate
to see you go.

Next time-top ten.

Top ten.

Okay, dad, spill.

What?

What did you do?

Nothing.

Oh. my business manager
called

With an excellent
investment opportunity-

A small, artsy
independent feature.

Oh, that's my boy!

Eh, she's perfect
for the role.

I'm doing them a favor.
i think.

I hope you don't mind. raising
one parent's hard enough.

I don't know what i'd do
if i had to raise two.

There wasn't
a little part for me...

No, no. in the artsy... uh, no.
