Castle

Previously on "Castle"...

We're getting married!

How close are you?

I got our marriage license in my pocket.

I will be there soon.

Yes. This is she.

Ryan: Beckett!

Castle.

Stay back! There's nothing you can do!

Oh, my god!

Castle.

It's empty.

He's not here.

He's not in the car!

You sure he's not in the car?

Even with a fire that hot, there'd still be a body.

He's got to be nearby.

You really think he...

he's here. He has to be.

We have to start a search. We could use more men.

Sergeant!

I'm detective Beckett, NYPD.

The man that was in that car is one of our own.

We need to scrub every inch of this area. I'll get my men on it.

You have search-and-rescue dogs? I'll call them in.

Okay.

I need to help them.

Esposito: You're no use to anyone dressed like that.

We'll get started here. You go change.

Come on. Let's get you into some other clothes.

Okay, I'll be right back.

All right. I'm gonna search up near the road.

Maybe castle managed to bail out before the car crashed.

All right, we'll start on the car,

see if we can tell what happened or where he went. All right.

Taggert: Airbag went off.

It only activates when someone's in that seat,

so your man was definitely at the wheel.

Yeah, but if he walked away,

where is he, and why isn't he picking up?

Maybe his phone's damaged

or he's disoriented.

I've seen it before.

But if he left this vehicle,

there's gonna be tracks or a blood trail.

Hello.

Ryan: Hey, Javi.

Walk to the back of castle's car.

What for? Just do it, okay?

Check the passenger rear side.

Tell me what you see.

Looks like it took a hit on the right side,

busted a taillight. That's 'cause castle

got bumped by another car and run off the road.

I got debris up here.

All right, call local cs...

Maybe those pieces can help us I.D. that car.

Detective, I think I got something.

Tracks.

Going from the car up to the road.

Water washed part of the trail, but it looks like three people.

Three people? That can't be right.

See the two troughs in the dirt?

Made by heels from a pair of shoes.

So he was run off the road then dragged from the car.

Castle got grabbed.

What? I had taggert set up roadblocks

to stop and search every vehicle.

We figured that the car that ran castle into the ditch

may be the same car he's in now.

Okay, we get a description? Not yet, but csu thinks

the side-marker glass up ahead came from a gm.

Local P.D. is canvassing

to see if anyone saw any vehicles leaving the area.

What about castle's cellphone? His provider says it's shut off.

Contacted the FBI to see if it could be turned on remotely.

It's a long shot, but you never know.

What else? Kate...

Everything that can be done is being done.

Espo, don't tell me that.

They took him. I need to do something.

Then tell us about that phone call you got.

Was he nervous?

Did he indicate in any way he was being followed?

No, he was just...

Normal.

He was normal.

Hey, sergeant taggert may have a witness.

Guy runs a fruit stand up the road.

Yeah, I definitely saw a Mercedes go by

around the time you're talking... bronze-colored.

Esposito: That's castle's car.

What about any cars after that?

Uh, let's see.

There was a Volkswagen bug, a Ferrari, an SUV.

No one's gonna run him off the road with a bug

or a Ferrari. Talk to me about that SUV.

It was an escalade...

black with tinted windows and chrome wheels.

How is it you happen to remember it so clearly?

Because I saw it twice.

He passed heading north.

Then he blew by again maybe 10 minutes later.

They were headed south off of long island with castle.

I'll put out an apb on the escalade.

I'm gonna call state police, have them set up checkpoints

at every road leading off of long island.

Getting castle off the island may not be the plan.

The feds just called.

They were able to remotely activate castle's phone

for a few seconds. Did they get a location?

Yeah, he's still on the island.

According to his GPS, as of 10 minutes ago,

he was in medford.

How far is medford from here?

Not far the way I'm gonna drive.

It says castle's GPS

puts him at a hundred feet into this junkyard.

State police are 10 minutes out.

They want you to wait for backup.

Not a chance in hell.

It's right over there.

85 feet and closing.

Which way?

Other side of this car carrier, I think.

60 feet now.

Beckett: There.

Black escalade.

Yeah.

That's ground zero for castle's GPS.

So he's in there.

No.

Stop!

Do not move!

Stop!

On the ground! Freeze! Don't move!

On the ground now!

Aah!

What have you done?!

What have you done?! Beckett! We got him! We got him!

No! Beckett, stop!

No! No!

Beckett: Gary duff in.

You're no stranger to rooms like this.

But this time it's different.

This time, your only option is to give me answers.

And what if I don't?

You were in the junkyard when that SUV came in.

Who was in it?

You know what?

I want a lawyer.

Aah!

Aah!

You're a low-level dirt bag, Gary.

You're not a criminal mastermind,

so start talking.

Aah! Who was in the car?

Who had you crush it?

Was castle in the car?

Was he in the car?

Was he alive?

Aah! You're gonna break my finger!

And then after that, there's nine more,

so tell me what I want to know.

Start talking.

I got nothing to say.

What? What is it?

Forensics came back on the SUV.

There was no blood or tissue.

Castle wasn't inside.

Okay.

So he's still out there.

Which means they crushed the car to cover their tracks.

Okay, get csu to sweep for DNA and prints.

And let's move Gary duff in to a holding cell.

So you can do what to him?

I was watching.

Getting booted off the force is not gonna help anything.

Espo, he knows who took castle.

Well, he's never gonna give them up.

Whoever they are, he's way more afraid of them

than he is of you.

Fine. We'll try another angle...

For now.

Thanks.

So, we are dead-ended on the SUV.

Ran the vin number.

Turns out that it was stolen

from a long-term parking lot near jfk

with conveniently lousy video surveillance.

Okay, let's dig deeper

into our car-crusher, Gary duff in...

look into his background, his known associates.

That might lead us

to whoever took castle. We're on it.

Detective. Do you have a moment?

Yes, sir.

How are you holding up?

I'm fine.

I truly can't imagine what you're going through,
