We found blood-stained overalls in his van. We sent them to be tested to see if they match the blood from our vic.
Oh, they match. Trust me, bro. You don’t have to worry about this creep hurting anyone ever again. [To the camera] That’s a gift, from me to you. You’re welcome, America
Well, looks like our stalker was telling the truth. Prelim shows that the blood on his overalls was his. Sorry, partner.
Huh. Well, at least grabbing the guy up wasn’t a total bust.
I don’t know. Seems to be the definition of a total bust.
This all points to one thing.
Drugs.
Drugs… Drugs.
That’s an interesting theory, but that’s pure speculation.
Actually, it’s not. Pure speculation would be Swan purchasing thermonuclear technology to have a scientist make him an amplifier that went all the way to 12. This, musicians buying drugs… [Into the camera]…that’s just Monday morning’s crossword.
Element of surprise is key. See, I can be circumspect. Folks would be lost without me. [Walks toward a door]
[Laughing into the camera] He went the wrong way.
You were writing songs for him?
Yeah. Here, look. [Grabs the song paper and hands it to Esposito] I already started. I got pretty far on that one.
Let me see that. [Looking it over] I do like the vocal line on this.
You read music?
What, you think ‘cause I’m a cop, I can’t sing?
No, I think you can’t sing because I’ve heard you sing.
That karaoke machine was busted. I’m gonna sing for y’all later
So John Campbell was in town…with a few days to kill. [Grinning at the camera] See what I did there? That was good. Use that. Not the part where I said, ‘See what I did there.’ Cut that out. Do a hard fade to black. [Snaps fingers] Musical sting.
[As Beckett leads the cameraman]
Look, I know I’m not the easiest person on the planet to get to know, but you guys have been patient, and I’ve got something to show you. It’s a secret. Actually, Castle doesn’t even know about it. It’s this place that I love to go to. And once you see it, I think you guys will understand me a whole lot better. [Opens a door] Go ahead. All the way to the back.
[Camera walks into a janitor room and turns about to see Beckett give a raspberry and then shut the door]
