[Beckett, Ryan, and Esposito are at dead ends in their respective cases]
We'll start over. Fresh eyes. You take our murder, we'll take yours.
All right.
[a thought strikes him] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Say that again.
You take our murder, we'll take yours.
Could it be that easy? You take mine, I'll take yours.
What are you getting at, Castle?
Strangers on a Train.
The Hitchcock movie?
I'm partial to the novel by Patricia Highsmith, but yes. We have two strong suspects, but with airtight alibis, right?
Right.
We know they're connected. What if the connection is the killers?
Jason and Eric committed each other's murders.
And made sure they had an airtight alibi for the murder they knew they'd be suspected of. It's not our victims that are connected, it's our murderers. Crisscross!
