So we just sit around and we wait for Castle 178 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:32,339 flee the country? 179 00:11:32,340 --> 00:11:33,340 Castle's not going anywhere. 180 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:34,520 Yeah, and you know that? 181 00:11:34,740 --> 00:11:37,880 You ever heard of Last Rites?

He's going 185 00:11:44,830 --> 00:11:47,110 nowhere. Can't you just hold him for overnight? 186 00:11:47,370 --> 00:11:49,670 Look, there are certain rules that I have to adhere to. Yeah, I know the 187 00:11:50,270 --> 00:11:51,290 I've seen you bend them. 188 00:11:55,250 --> 00:11:59,550 Look, like it or not, this is a high -profile case.

Because obviously Erica wasn't very proud of those photos, and I see no 397 00:23:20,660 --> 00:23:23,940 reason to smear her name unless the photos are material to the case. So you 398 00:23:23,940 --> 00:23:27,120 decided to ignore my advice about crossing the line. What I did was 399 00:23:27,120 --> 00:23:30,720 professional.

Castle didn't exactly treat her like a queen. 575 00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,440 Doesn't fit the profile. Sometimes they don't. Yeah, but she was depressed. 576 00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:12,739 But, come on, kill her? I don't buy it. Yeah, it sounds like someone got a 577 00:34:12,739 --> 00:34:14,480 little too invested in their research. 578 00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:19,080 No. Just going with my gut, that's all. Just like I did with Ashley Colville. 579 00:34:19,219 --> 00:34:21,560 Colville? Wasn't that that eighth grader? 580 00:34:21,820 --> 00:34:25,360 Yep, parents were found shot dead in their minivan while poor Ashley was at 581 00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:26,360 soccer practice. 582 00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:28,860 Poor thing, she was devastated. 583 00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:30,120 This girl was a living doll. 584 00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:34,699 I mean, Joel was ready to ask Kelly about adopting her. Mm -hmm, until the 585 00:34:34,699 --> 00:34:37,719 report showed the footprints leading up to the minivan had some strange 586 00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:40,860 indentations. Well, it didn't take long to figure out that they came from a pair 587 00:34:40,860 --> 00:34:44,940 of soccer cleats. Never saw that one coming. Okay, if Erica did do it, then 588 00:34:44,940 --> 00:34:47,120 have to establish her at Castle's house the night of the murder. 589 00:34:47,690 --> 00:34:51,050 So far, there's no evidence to support that. Well, the bullet came from 590 00:34:51,050 --> 00:34:54,989 gun, so that doesn't help us. Yeah, forensic reports show all fingerprints 591 00:34:54,989 --> 00:34:58,930 DNA belong to Castle or his maid, except for a single strand of brown hair or 592 00:34:58,930 --> 00:34:59,930 hair -like material. 593 00:35:02,470 --> 00:35:03,468 What color? 594 00:35:03,470 --> 00:35:04,790 Brown. Why? 595 00:35:08,330 --> 00:35:11,530 What's going on? We need to stay out here while we search Erica's room. 596 00:35:17,710 --> 00:35:20,690 I think she might have been really good. I think she could have really made it. 597 00:35:21,290 --> 00:35:22,290 Hey, NBC. 598 00:35:22,630 --> 00:35:23,630 Hi. 599 00:35:24,450 --> 00:35:25,450 Erica was there. 600 00:35:27,270 --> 00:35:28,290 She could have done it. 601 00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:51,600 You in the business? 602 00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:53,920 Not anymore. 603 00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:55,740 Come on, you're an actress, right? 604 00:35:59,260 --> 00:36:00,260 Nothing like that. 605 00:36:00,460 --> 00:36:03,700 Yeah, I thought so.
