Ep. 8:
The docks. Dog barks on a boat, waking his owner. Guy looks in the water, and there's a dead woman floating!
Martha and Alexis come in the office. How did your anniversary go? Tears or cheers? He says it was great. Are you back together? he says making progress. Hayley shows up. Martha's glad to see her. Maybe this money pit will finally turn a profit. LOL. They leave. Hayley is there to hack Beckett's cell phone to find the origin of the mystery text.
Kate gets to a strip club. Vikram says surprise, our new office. We can operate months here off the grid. He says the text is a dead end. Did you pull me out of my anniversary dinner? He says no one can know. It's extremely dangerous. She knows, but she's trying to not lose her marriage in the process.
Perlmutter tells Kate and the boys about the dead woman. Her costume is from Iconic Cruise Lines. Body was in the water less than 10-12 hours. He finds something in her mouth. Floss down her throat, with a baggy. Maybe she was a smuggler. Kate wonders why one bag? If she was a mule, we'd be pulling out 20 of those.
Ryan says the victim is Laura Madden. She worked in the RMS Bentley. He contacted the mother. Espo says the bag is uncut heroine. Everyone disembarked the ship this morning. Kate goes to the ship to find a crime scene.
On the ship. There are resident guests, living there year round. Vikram calls her. The heroin is Vulcan's type. She says we have to be careful. Castle on the bow.
She asks how he got on board? He says he always wanted to get a boat. She suggests the 2nd anniversary. Ship's horn sounds and they're moving! Beckett, I think your crime scene is making a run for it. LOL.
Captain says the company ordered him to go. And we'll be in international waters before the Coast Guard would arrive. He's also been instructed to tell the crew to not cooperate. Kate says we have to divide and conquer. Only 60 minutes to investigate.
Castle goes to talk to the dancers. Hey, the choreographer is the chick from season 4 of BTVS. Castle tries to dance along with the girls.
Kate talks to the old ladies. Why do you want to know so much about Laura? Kate asks Elaine. She uses weed. Gets it from Isaac, the bartender. He and Laura liked to hang out together.
Kate calls Ryan to look into Isaac Durn. Then talks to Isaac. Laura's dead. Did she steal your drugs? He says I deal weed. I'm not tapped in to any cartels. He saw Laura last night on the deck.
Castle gets a moment to talk to Laura's roommate. Sorry to tell you Laura's been murdered. She says Laura was spending her free time in engineering. He asks if he can look in their room. She says stuff gets stolen all the time, so you have to stash stuff. Kate calls Castle for an update. She'll check the boat deck. Meet you there.
It's clean. Castle says maybe Laura kept her stash here. Where do you hide something? Kate looks over the side and sees blood on the wall. Then finds footprints of blood trail. He suggests taking a cruise. Sexy interludes. They look in the life jacket locker. She finds a video camera. The heroin being unpacked. It was filmed from above the guy, Costa. Laura doesn't know what to do. Grabbed some evidence for the cops. She smuggled out a sample. Kate tells Castle to talk to the dancers again.
She goes down to Engineering. Finds Costa. We need to talk. He throws a wrench at her and runs. She looks for him. Upstairs. She catches up to him. You're under arrest for the murder of Laura Madden.
Kate in the precinct. A photo of Laura with her circled. Hayley calls Castle. I found something. Kate thanks him for today. My pleasure.
Vikram watched the footage. She was filming illegal dumping of trash into the sea. Kate tells him to find the trash management contractor.
Caleb Brown comes in. Mr. Costa wants to make a deal. 2nd degree murder. She wants something for that. Where the heroin came from. He says what heroin? She says we have footage. He says his client insists those are bags of spoiled flour. He says we don't want to go to trial.
Espo and Ryan tells her there's definitely a partner on that ship. Calls to a burner cell. She says take apart Acosta's life.
Hayley says Vikram sent the text. She shows Castle they have a secret message program. Martha asks what's going on? He says nothing. She says if you can't tell your mother, you shouldn't be doing it. Trust her! He says it's making sense....what if Allison was murdered? What if Kate brought Vikram in to help her? He asks Hayley if she can hack Vikram's server. Sure, with some time. Martha says regardless what Katherine is doing and why, if she finds out you're spying on her you may have crossed a line you can't uncross. Castle says he has to know no matter the consequence. Do it.
Vikram found Friendly Islands Sanitation. She says follow the garbage and see where it went?
Castle calls her. She says hey, Rick, did you buy that boat? He asks her about round 2 of naked time tonight. She says I have to work tonight. he offers to help. She says, um, captain stuff? he says good luck and hangs up.
Hayley got a signal, so now she can hack one firewall at a time until she's in. Castle says keep going.
Vikram found dump trucks. Only one didn't show up at the dump on time. He lost the truck Washington Heights. He gets a hack alert.
She says they're on to us. She can slow Vikram down.
He tries to narrow it down. And gets cat videos. LOLOLOLOL. Kate says this doesn't seem like LokSat.
Hayley asks if we should abort. He says no.
Vikram finds it's coming from Castle's office. Kate says we have to stop him. Vikram says I need time. She calls him. What about right now? Feel like steaming up your office? He says that sounds great, but I'm in the middle of something. She says I'm downstairs. He pauses. Hayley says she's lying. Kate figures out he knows, and says rain check? Sure, you know where to find me.
Vikram says I can launch a cyber nuke. Kate says do it.
Hayley says we've lost everything. Ah, the made-up stuff of cinema tech....
Vikram says we're still safe. Kate says I hope I didn't nuke my marriage.
Kate wants to talk to Castle. Vikram says it'll have to wait. She hates lying to him. He knows, but we have to talk to the driver. They grab him. Get an address. Kate shows her badge. You've been running drugs and the NYPD can seize everything in your life. Sam says I didn't have a choice. I don't know names. Kate says I won't arrest you, but you will call this number if you get another delivery. Where is the heroin?
They're too late. Vikram says find the main players at the company.
Ryan says we found Acosta's partner. Leo Longarzo. Traveling salesman from Ecuador. She says send uniforms to sit on his apartment and pick him up. Castle shows up. We need to talk.
She says why can't you trust me? He says I thought you were in trouble. No, you're lying to me. She says Loksat thinks his cover worked. That's why we're alive. That's why I had to push you away. He says the fact you think that breaks my heart. You could've come to me and told me. It could've been a cover. But that didn't occur to you. You like being broken, need this obsession, and I can't change that. Only you can. Espo knocks. Castle is leaving. She says wait. He says you have a job to do, and there's no one better.
Espo and Kate and Ryan get to the apartment. Longarzo is supposed to be there alone. He comes out and runs. They chase. Espo tells him to get down. He pulls a gun and they shoot him. Kate loses her connection.
Vikram asks if she's okay. No. He says ah, you're having a pity party. He has a pretty juicy clue. Traced the ownership of the warehouse. Caleb Brown wrote the papers. She says that's the perfect cover. She says we can't go straight at him. We have to track him quiet. He says it'll take time. She says if we do it right, he'll lead us straight to Loksat.
Castle at home. Talking to the home thing about Kate. It says you don't make sense. He says because I'm in love. Someone knocks. Kate. You were right. Absolutely right. Our break-up could've been a cover. He says yeah. She says I'm here now. So let's do it. He says you thought I'd take you back despite what you put me through. She apologizes. I need you. Please. Don't make me do this without you. He says okay. Kisses her. She kisses him back. He says you do realize I have to punish you a little. Naked punishing? Very naked punishing.
Next ep - Feb 1? But other scheduling says Jan. 4. I'm confused.
Castle returns Monday, January 4th.
