1
00:00:01,058 --> 00:00:02,037
There are two kinds of folks
2
00:00:02,064 --> 00:00:03,664
who sit around thinking
about how to kill people:
3
00:00:03,998 --> 00:00:05,724
psychopaths
and mystery writers.
4
00:00:06,062 --> 00:00:07,084
I'm the kind that pays better.
5
00:00:07,185 --> 00:00:07,885
Who am I?
6
00:00:07,974 --> 00:00:09,113
I'm Rick Castle.
7
00:00:09,114 --> 00:00:09,514
Castle.
8
00:00:09,548 --> 00:00:10,208
Castle.
9
00:00:10,209 --> 00:00:12,209
I really am ruggedly handsome,
aren't I?
10
00:00:12,455 --> 00:00:14,645
Every writer needs inspiration.
And I found mine.
11
00:00:14,755 --> 00:00:15,574
Detective Kate Beckett.
12
00:00:15,609 --> 00:00:16,629
- Beckett.
- Beckett.
13
00:00:16,664 --> 00:00:18,570
- Nikki Heat?
- The character he's basing on you.
14
00:00:18,616 --> 00:00:20,102
And thanks to my friendship
with the mayor,
15
00:00:20,103 --> 00:00:21,103
I get to be on her case.
16
00:00:21,137 --> 00:00:23,080
I would be happy
to let you spank me.
17
00:00:23,115 --> 00:00:23,991
And together, we catch killers
18
00:00:24,939 --> 00:00:25,927
We make a pretty
good team, you know?
19
00:00:26,028 --> 00:00:27,028
Like Starsky and Hutch.
20
00:00:27,162 --> 00:00:27,856
Turner and Hooch.
21
00:00:27,957 --> 00:00:29,557
You do remind me
a little of Hooch.
22
00:00:49,897 --> 00:00:51,472
Tell me, seer,
23
00:00:51,506 --> 00:00:55,085
What do I hold
in my hand now?
24
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:56,560
shh.
25
00:00:56,594 --> 00:00:58,534
You're holding...
26
00:01:00,310 --> 00:01:01,746
A wallet.
27
00:01:01,781 --> 00:01:04,691
Yes! Incredible.
Ten out of ten.
28
00:01:04,726 --> 00:01:06,231
What's going on?
29
00:01:06,266 --> 00:01:07,577
Gram's teaching me
how to read minds.
30
00:01:07,978 --> 00:01:09,478
And she is a natural.
31
00:01:09,611 --> 00:01:10,954
Much better than you were
at her age.
32
00:01:10,955 --> 00:01:11,955
And I'm very proud.
33
00:01:12,488 --> 00:01:14,896
Why the sudden foray
into the mysterious realms?
34
00:01:14,930 --> 00:01:17,637
It's a genealogy project for
school. Half of the assignment
35
00:01:17,673 --> 00:01:19,610
is to collect stories
from family members.
36
00:01:19,644 --> 00:01:21,582
I had no idea
that gram's folks
37
00:01:21,617 --> 00:01:23,527
had a mind-reading act
on Coney Island.
38
00:01:23,528 --> 00:01:25,328
Yeah, they were
very famous in their day.
39
00:01:25,761 --> 00:01:27,633
I love all their codes--
how "tell me" means wallet
40
00:01:27,667 --> 00:01:30,475
and "reveal to me"
means a pair of glasses.
41
00:01:30,509 --> 00:01:32,447
Yes, you come from
a long line
42
00:01:32,481 --> 00:01:34,352
of hucksters and charlatans,
myself included.
43
00:01:34,386 --> 00:01:36,391
But we have high hopes
for you.
44
00:01:38,430 --> 00:01:40,400
That must be Beckett.
45
00:01:40,435 --> 00:01:42,072
How did you know?
46
00:01:42,106 --> 00:01:45,012
It's after 10:00
on a weekday.
47
00:01:45,047 --> 00:01:46,950
Who else is it gonna be?
48
00:01:46,985 --> 00:01:48,424
Oh, she is good.
49
00:01:49,025 --> 00:01:50,025
Brilliant.
50
00:01:50,058 --> 00:01:51,360
Castle.
51
00:01:51,395 --> 00:01:53,165
I knew it was you.
52
00:01:53,199 --> 00:01:55,203
Victim is
a hispanic male, mid-30s.
53
00:01:55,237 --> 00:01:58,243
A local spotted him
when he was out walking s dog,
54
00:01:58,277 --> 00:01:59,980
around 10:30.
55
00:02:00,014 --> 00:02:01,917
His wallet's missing.
If it was a robbery,
56
00:02:01,952 --> 00:02:05,057
I bet my week's salary that the killer
didn't know who he was rolling.
57
00:02:05,091 --> 00:02:07,395
You I.D.'ed him
without a wallet?
58
00:02:07,430 --> 00:02:09,466
Unfortunately.
You know the guy?
59
00:02:09,501 --> 00:02:12,172
Everybody in New York
knows the guy.
60
00:02:12,207 --> 00:02:14,743
Cano Vega,
the baseball player.
61
00:02:15,078 --> 00:02:17,081
Yep.
Cano Vega?
Are you sure?
62
00:02:17,115 --> 00:02:18,284
He was
my first-round draft pick
63
00:02:18,319 --> 00:02:19,957
in my fantasy league
three years running.
64
00:02:20,391 --> 00:02:24,496
.314 batting average,
4 gold gloves, and one...
65
00:02:25,330 --> 00:02:27,200
championship ring.
66
00:02:27,234 --> 00:02:29,604
I almost caught one of
his homers once.
67
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:30,942
He had just came
to the states from Cuba,
68
00:02:31,076 --> 00:02:33,483
and my dad took us out
to the bleachers over at Shea.
69
00:02:33,484 --> 00:02:34,784
I didn't know
you were a baseball fan.
70
00:02:34,817 --> 00:02:36,953
It's genetic,
on my dad's side.
71
00:02:37,488 --> 00:02:39,360
Been taking me to games
since I was 3.
72
00:02:39,361 --> 00:02:40,761
Yeah, mine, too.
73
00:02:41,395 --> 00:02:43,264
What about you, Castle?
74
00:02:43,298 --> 00:02:44,301
Your dad a baseball fan?
75
00:02:44,435 --> 00:02:45,540
I really can't say.
76
00:02:45,541 --> 00:02:47,341
Castle is
famously fatherless.
77
00:02:47,774 --> 00:02:48,544
What, are you adopted
or something?
78
00:02:48,545 --> 00:02:49,345
No.
79
00:02:49,379 --> 00:02:51,581
Then how do you--
it's complicated.
80
00:02:51,616 --> 00:02:53,017
It's not that complicated.
81
00:02:53,052 --> 00:02:54,789
Someone used his head
for batting practice.
82
00:02:55,123 --> 00:02:57,191
36-ouncer to the back
of the head.
83
00:02:57,225 --> 00:02:59,429
By the look of the spatter,
he was hit multiple times.
84
00:02:59,430 --> 00:03:00,430
Time of death?
85
00:03:00,564 --> 00:03:02,867
Uh, from his temperature,
I'd say two,
86
00:03:02,902 --> 00:03:04,439
maybe three hour
at the most.
87
00:03:04,540 --> 00:03:05,740
What's with
all this bruising?
88
00:03:06,274 --> 00:03:07,747
Postmortem,
from the balls.
89
00:03:07,848 --> 00:03:10,548
Pitching arm--it ran
for a while after he was dead.
90
00:03:10,881 --> 00:03:12,616
So you'd think a guy
like Cano Vega
91
00:03:12,651 --> 00:03:14,754
would have a batting cage
in his basement.
92
00:03:15,188 --> 00:03:17,824
What would he be doing
in a sketchy neighborhood
93
00:03:17,858 --> 00:03:20,495
in Spanish Harlem
at this hour of the night?
94
00:03:20,830 --> 00:03:23,099
Maybe because
it's Cano Vega Field.
95
00:03:23,133 --> 00:03:25,536
Local uniforms said that
he built it for the community,
96
00:03:25,570 --> 00:03:27,205
wanted to
give something back.
97
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:28,908
So our killer
98
00:03:28,943 --> 00:03:31,345
hit him from here.
99
00:03:31,379 --> 00:03:34,016
And he got blood
on his shoe.
100
00:03:34,050 --> 00:03:35,953
Have C.S.U. run a sweep.
101
00:03:35,987 --> 00:03:36,458
See if anything tracked
outside of the field.
102
00:03:36,459 --> 00:03:37,459
All right.
103
00:03:37,992 --> 00:03:42,329
So your dad, what is it,
a "Mamma Mia!" thing?
104
00:03:42,364 --> 00:03:44,366
Early '70s, free love.
105
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,537
Yeah, I'll bet your mom was
kinda wild back in the day.
106
00:03:46,572 --> 00:03:48,110
You really need
to stop talking now.
107
00:03:48,211 --> 00:03:49,511
Sorry. Done.
108
00:03:54,015 --> 00:03:55,182
A big, athletic guy
109
00:03:55,217 --> 00:03:58,287
is swinging
a 2-1/2-foot club.
110
00:03:58,321 --> 00:03:59,460
He couldn't have been
that easy to kill.
111
00:03:59,961 --> 00:04:01,661
Unless he didn't
see it coming.
112
00:04:02,294 --> 00:04:04,196
On behalf
of the Vega family...
113
00:04:04,230 --> 00:04:06,267
I want to thank
all of Cano's loyal fans
114
00:04:06,302 --> 00:04:08,304
for their love and support.
115
00:04:08,338 --> 00:04:10,507
In this time of great sadness,
116
00:04:10,541 --> 00:04:12,708
we ask that you please respect
his family's privacy.
117
00:04:12,709 --> 00:04:13,709
Mr. Fox who else is...
118
00:04:14,743 --> 00:04:16,276
12 years of marriage--
119
00:04:16,310 --> 00:04:17,877
All they want from me
is a sound bite.
120
00:04:17,912 --> 00:04:20,313
I'm very sorry
about your loss, Mrs. Vega.
121
00:04:20,347 --> 00:04:22,084
Do you know why he'd be
in the park last night?
122
00:04:22,885 --> 00:04:24,685
Sometimes he'd go there
to blow off steam,
123
00:04:25,218 --> 00:04:26,420
but never at night.
124
00:04:26,421 --> 00:04:28,021
Do you know where he was
earlier in the evening?
125
00:04:28,255 --> 00:04:29,622
He was at my club.
126
00:04:29,623 --> 00:04:30,623
Thanks.
127
00:04:31,057 --> 00:04:32,090
Detective Beckett,
Mr. Castle,
128
00:04:32,125 --> 00:04:33,859
Tommy Zane--
Cano's old teammate.
129
00:04:33,993 --> 00:04:35,127
Be hard to be a New Yorker
and not know
130
00:04:35,161 --> 00:04:36,463
Freight Train Tommy Zane.
131
00:04:36,564 --> 00:04:37,964
So you guys got any leads?
132
00:04:38,097 --> 00:04:39,934
We're looking into it.
Mr. Zane, you said
133
00:04:39,968 --> 00:04:42,103
that Mr. Vega was
at your club last night?
134
00:04:42,104 --> 00:04:43,304
Our club, actually.
135
00:04:43,437 --> 00:04:45,172
Cano and I owned it with
a couple of other players.
136
00:04:45,173 --> 00:04:46,173
Do you know about what time?
137
00:04:46,306 --> 00:04:48,874
Dropped by about 7:00.
Left about 7:30.
138
00:04:48,908 --> 00:04:50,243
I didn't really see him.
I was with a friend.
139
00:04:52,277 --> 00:04:54,378
Excuse me. Yeah.
140
00:04:54,413 --> 00:04:55,447
Mrs. Vega,
do you know of anyone
141
00:04:55,481 --> 00:04:57,016
who would've wanted
to hurt your husband?
142
00:04:57,117 --> 00:04:59,017
Used to be,
everybody loved him,
143
00:04:59,750 --> 00:05:01,518
Especially
in the Cuban community.
144
00:05:01,552 --> 00:05:02,587
What changed?
145
00:05:02,588 --> 00:05:03,588
The trip.
146
00:05:04,621 --> 00:05:05,955
A-a few months ago,
147
00:05:05,989 --> 00:05:08,090
the Cuban tourism department
approached him.
148
00:05:08,125 --> 00:05:10,893
They wanted Cano to be
the poster boy for the new Cuba.
149
00:05:10,961 --> 00:05:12,895
You risk your life
to escape Castro's Cuba,
150
00:05:12,930 --> 00:05:14,364
why would you
go back to visit?
151
00:05:14,398 --> 00:05:15,299
While Cano was down there,
152
00:05:15,333 --> 00:05:18,968
the locals treated him
like a hero--their hero.
153
00:05:19,203 --> 00:05:21,804
At a state dinner, Castro
came over and shook his hand.
154
00:05:21,939 --> 00:05:24,140
When he got home, his friends
called him a traitor for going,
155
00:05:24,175 --> 00:05:25,775
said he was
a lapdog for Fidel.
156
00:05:26,510 --> 00:05:28,412
The same people who cheered
when he built that ballpark
157
00:05:28,446 --> 00:05:29,614
came up and told him
to go to hell.
158
00:05:29,615 --> 00:05:30,615
Did he get any threats?
159
00:05:30,649 --> 00:05:33,751
You bet he got threats,
hundreds of them,
160
00:05:34,585 --> 00:05:37,420
and all of them
courtesy of Alfredo Quintana.
161
00:05:37,754 --> 00:05:39,557
Detective, Bobby Fox,
Cano's agent.
162
00:05:39,558 --> 00:05:40,558
Nice to meet you.
163
00:05:40,591 --> 00:05:42,626
Detective, could you do
something to get those jackals
164
00:05:42,660 --> 00:05:44,796
and their cameras
away from Mrs. Vega's house?
165
00:05:44,797 --> 00:05:45,797
I'll see what I can do.
166
00:05:46,130 --> 00:05:48,265
Thanks.
Who's Alfredo Quintana?
167
00:05:48,300 --> 00:05:50,635
He's the guy
who killed Cano Vega.
168
00:05:52,770 --> 00:05:53,870
Thanks, Carlos.
169
00:05:54,404 --> 00:05:56,272
Hey.
170
00:05:56,607 --> 00:05:58,207
Alfredo Quintana--
171
00:05:58,241 --> 00:06:01,940
J.D., Phd and editor
of "Una Nueva Esperanza,"
172
00:06:02,074 --> 00:06:04,175
a newspaper published by
his foundation,
173
00:06:04,209 --> 00:06:05,675
primarily
for the Cuban community.
174
00:06:05,809 --> 00:06:07,409
This is his column
from two weeks ago.
175
00:06:07,510 --> 00:06:09,310
"Cano Vega must pay"?
176
00:06:09,344 --> 00:06:11,644
The article's about how Vega
betrayed the Cuban community
177
00:06:11,678 --> 00:06:13,377
by shaking hands
with the monster
178
00:06:13,412 --> 00:06:15,045
who butchered thousands
of their relatives.
179
00:06:15,579 --> 00:06:17,645
Quintana says, "if Vega
is going to embrace
180
00:06:17,679 --> 00:06:20,044
"the brutal regime
he once escaped,
181
00:06:20,112 --> 00:06:24,146
he would do well to be reminded
of its barbarous cruelty."
182
00:06:24,180 --> 00:06:26,280
Well, that sounds
like a threat to me.
183
00:06:27,115 --> 00:06:28,080
I wasn't threatening him.
184
00:06:28,115 --> 00:06:31,948
You turned the local
Cuban community against him.
185
00:06:31,982 --> 00:06:33,281
He turned his back
on his people
186
00:06:33,315 --> 00:06:35,316
when he gave Castro
his nod of approval.
187
00:06:35,350 --> 00:06:38,218
If you want me to be sorry about
what I wrote because he's dead,
188
00:06:38,253 --> 00:06:39,753
I'm not.
189
00:06:39,787 --> 00:06:41,287
I wrote the truth.
190
00:06:41,322 --> 00:06:43,222
Are you sure
that's all you did?
191
00:06:43,257 --> 00:06:45,257
You said it yourself
in your editorial,
192
00:06:45,291 --> 00:06:46,692
Vega should pay.
193
00:06:46,726 --> 00:06:47,726
It's a free country,
isn't it?
194
00:06:49,461 --> 00:06:51,127
I'm entitled
to express my opinion.
195
00:06:51,162 --> 00:06:53,262
Your foundation--
Cubans First--
196
00:06:53,296 --> 00:06:55,198
is on East 98th Street.
197
00:06:55,632 --> 00:06:57,067
That's three blocks away
198
00:06:57,101 --> 00:06:59,402
from the field
where Vega's body was found.
199
00:06:59,436 --> 00:07:01,438
You think I had something
to do with his murder?
200
00:07:01,472 --> 00:07:03,740
Well, the pen is mightier
than the sword.
201
00:07:03,775 --> 00:07:06,042
But a baseball bat can be
pretty effective, too.
202
00:07:06,077 --> 00:07:08,445
Where were you last night
between 7:00 and 10:00 pm?
203
00:07:08,546 --> 00:07:10,246
I was at home with my wife.
204
00:07:10,279 --> 00:07:12,880
Mm. Wives make
such convenient alibis.
205
00:07:13,115 --> 00:07:14,549
My sons
were there as well...
206
00:07:15,784 --> 00:07:17,250
as well as my brother.
207
00:07:17,685 --> 00:07:18,286
Do you have anyone
who isn't blood related?
208
00:07:20,020 --> 00:07:21,621
A notary, perhaps?
209
00:07:22,156 --> 00:07:25,391
Look, what Cano Vega did
is inexcusable.
210
00:07:26,426 --> 00:07:28,660
But I am not a murderer.
211
00:07:28,694 --> 00:07:30,428
Are you sure about that,
Mr. Quintana?
212
00:07:30,563 --> 00:07:33,131
You incited an entire community
against him.
213
00:07:34,065 --> 00:07:35,565
So from where I'm standing,
214
00:07:35,599 --> 00:07:37,533
you might not have swung
that bat,
215
00:07:37,567 --> 00:07:40,402
but that doesn't mean
that you didn't kill him.
216
00:07:44,774 --> 00:07:46,074
Well?
We'll check his alibi...
217
00:07:46,075 --> 00:07:47,644
but my gut tells me
it's not him.
218
00:07:47,645 --> 00:07:49,145
We should get a warrant,
run his subscribers
219
00:07:49,178 --> 00:07:51,013
against any hate mail that
the Vegas might have gotten.
220
00:07:51,014 --> 00:07:53,214
You sure you got no cop
in the Castle family tree?
221
00:07:53,247 --> 00:07:53,947
No, us Castles
222
00:07:53,982 --> 00:07:55,749
are mostly con artists
and circus folk, sir.
223
00:07:55,784 --> 00:07:57,485
No, I think there's
a little cop in there somewhere.
224
00:08:00,420 --> 00:08:01,287
Con artists
225
00:08:01,321 --> 00:08:01,955
and circus people, huh?
226
00:08:02,089 --> 00:08:03,356
Yep, and mind readers.
227
00:08:03,390 --> 00:08:06,657
Really? So tell me
what I'm thinking.
228
00:08:06,692 --> 00:08:07,959
aah.
229
00:08:07,993 --> 00:08:10,693
You're... You're thinking...
230
00:08:10,727 --> 00:08:13,196
You don't care and you want me
to stop talking.
231
00:08:13,530 --> 00:08:15,297
Ooh, that's uncanny.
232
00:08:15,332 --> 00:08:16,199
It's in the blood.
Yo, Beckett.
233
00:08:16,234 --> 00:08:18,068
Yeah.
Just got back from C.S.U.
234
00:08:19,002 --> 00:08:21,070
They managed to track the blood
trail from the killer's shoe
235
00:08:21,103 --> 00:08:23,804
across the park.
It dead-ended at the curb.
236
00:08:23,939 --> 00:08:25,374
So our killer
was driving a car.
237
00:08:25,375 --> 00:08:26,775
Yeah. The area
was a little muddy,
238
00:08:26,808 --> 00:08:28,642
so we were able to pull
a partial on the tire.
239
00:08:28,643 --> 00:08:29,643
Any make and model?
240
00:08:29,877 --> 00:08:31,744
Better. The tire marks
are distinctive.
241
00:08:31,778 --> 00:08:33,045
They've been patched
in two spots.
242
00:08:33,179 --> 00:08:35,647
Now those same tire tracks
match a car that was tagged
243
00:08:35,682 --> 00:08:37,582
in an aggravated assault
last year.
244
00:08:37,616 --> 00:08:39,651
The asault was committed
with a baseball bat
245
00:08:39,685 --> 00:08:41,286
By one Anton Wade.
246
00:08:41,287 --> 00:08:43,287
Loan sharking, blackmail.
247
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,253
Plus assault with
a deadly weapon and two A&B's--
248
00:08:46,487 --> 00:08:48,785
Assault and battery.
I know.
249
00:08:48,820 --> 00:08:50,788
Right. The guy's
one seriously bad dude.
250
00:08:50,822 --> 00:08:54,790
Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa. Oh,
I'm sensing something here--
251
00:08:54,825 --> 00:09:00,292
that... this guy
might just be our killer.
252
00:09:00,395 --> 00:09:04,195
? Castle 2x15 ?
Suicide Squeeze
Original Air Date on February 8, 2010
253
00:09:04,229 --> 00:09:07,264
-- Sync, corrected by elderman --
-- for addic7ed.com --
254
00:09:08,752 --> 00:09:10,186
Mr. Wade,
255
00:09:10,220 --> 00:09:12,188
We have you
at the baseball field.
256
00:09:12,222 --> 00:09:14,191
Your car
was at the crime scene,
257
00:09:14,226 --> 00:09:16,393
not to mention
your unfortunate history
258
00:09:16,428 --> 00:09:18,562
of hitting people
with baseball bats.
259
00:09:18,596 --> 00:09:19,597
All of that's enough
to send you away. So...
260
00:09:19,631 --> 00:09:23,235
you can play dumb
or you can play ball.
261
00:09:24,136 --> 00:09:25,236
Pun intended.
262
00:09:26,569 --> 00:09:28,405
All right, I was there,
but I didn't kill him.
263
00:09:28,439 --> 00:09:29,806
He was already dead.
264
00:09:29,841 --> 00:09:32,642
You were just
paying the corpse a visit.
265
00:09:32,676 --> 00:09:35,645
He called and asked me
to meet up with him.
266
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,580
And when I got there,
I knew how it looked.
267
00:09:38,615 --> 00:09:40,383
So I bounced the hell up
outta there.
268
00:09:40,384 --> 00:09:41,784
Why would Vega call you?
269
00:09:41,817 --> 00:09:44,185
He wanted to make a payment
on his loan.
270
00:09:44,219 --> 00:09:47,187
He always paid the same way,
cash in a plain envelope.
271
00:09:47,222 --> 00:09:49,255
I saw it on him.
I took it.
272
00:09:49,290 --> 00:09:51,624
The guy's a multimillionaire.
You're a petty loan shark.
273
00:09:51,691 --> 00:09:53,625
What's he doing
borrowing money from you?
274
00:09:53,659 --> 00:09:56,160
In my business,
you don't ask, you don't tell.
275
00:09:56,194 --> 00:09:58,328
How much money
did he borrow?
276
00:09:58,363 --> 00:10:00,263
He came to me
a couple weeks back,
277
00:10:00,298 --> 00:10:01,731
needed 200 grand.
278
00:10:01,766 --> 00:10:04,734
In my experience...
if you need that kind of coin,
279
00:10:04,768 --> 00:10:08,203
he got himself
into some real bad... trouble--
280
00:10:08,237 --> 00:10:10,805
The kind of trouble
that gets you killed.
281
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,807
Or maybe
he couldn't pay your vig.
282
00:10:12,842 --> 00:10:15,276
And you pulled a little
"Untouchables" De Niro
283
00:10:15,310 --> 00:10:17,945
On his head.
A guy owing you money?
284
00:10:17,979 --> 00:10:21,514
Killing him ain't gonna get
you paid. You take his bling,
285
00:10:21,549 --> 00:10:24,383
you jack him for his ride, you
maybe even bust his kneecaps.
286
00:10:24,417 --> 00:10:26,418
But he made
his last installment.
287
00:10:26,452 --> 00:10:29,687
Vega made his vig.
We were good.
288
00:10:30,722 --> 00:10:33,857
Vega's wife didn't know
anything about the 200 grand.
289
00:10:33,891 --> 00:10:35,258
It doesn't make sense.
290
00:10:35,292 --> 00:10:37,260
With his assets,
a guy like Cano Vega
291
00:10:37,294 --> 00:10:39,862
could get a loan from any bank
in New York City.
292
00:10:39,897 --> 00:10:41,931
So why go to a loan shark
for $200,000?
293
00:10:41,965 --> 00:10:44,232
Because bank loans
take time.
294
00:10:44,267 --> 00:10:45,100
Loan sharks give it to you
right away.
295
00:10:45,135 --> 00:10:46,236
Maybe he needed
the money fast.
296
00:10:46,237 --> 00:10:47,537
Maybe he needed it
kept quiet.
297
00:10:47,770 --> 00:10:49,737
Loan sharks don't require
paperwork, credit checks.
298
00:10:49,772 --> 00:10:51,574
Maybe he didn't want
his wife to know.
299
00:10:52,075 --> 00:10:53,475
Vega didn't want his wife
300
00:10:53,508 --> 00:10:55,443
to know why he was
going to Cuba either.
301
00:10:55,444 --> 00:10:57,144
So you think his trip
and the money are related?
302
00:10:57,278 --> 00:10:58,411
Well, a week
after he gets back,
303
00:10:58,446 --> 00:11:00,479
he suddenly needs $200,000?
304
00:11:00,514 --> 00:11:03,515
It stands to reason that the two
were connected somehow.
305
00:11:03,549 --> 00:11:04,916
Yo.
306
00:11:04,951 --> 00:11:06,851
We just finished a search
of Wade's apartment.
307
00:11:06,886 --> 00:11:09,120
We found a match to
the partial shoe print.
308
00:11:09,154 --> 00:11:11,121
Yeah, but here's
the weird thing--
309
00:11:11,156 --> 00:11:13,123
it tested positive
for blood on the sole,
310
00:11:13,157 --> 00:11:14,525
but negative for blood
on the rest of the shoe
311
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:15,727
and negative
for cleaning agents.
312
00:11:15,728 --> 00:11:17,028
If wade killed Vega,
313
00:11:17,061 --> 00:11:18,762
then his shoe would've been
covered in blood.
314
00:11:18,963 --> 00:11:20,063
So Wade's telling the truth.
315
00:11:20,097 --> 00:11:21,997
He shows up after the murder,
316
00:11:22,032 --> 00:11:24,066
tracks some blood
outside of the park.
317
00:11:24,100 --> 00:11:27,968
While the real murderer
gets blood on top of his shoe
318
00:11:28,003 --> 00:11:30,470
and leaves little
or no trail behind.
319
00:11:30,504 --> 00:11:32,371
Let's find out why Vega
comes back from Cuba
320
00:11:32,406 --> 00:11:34,440
and suddenly needs 200 grand.
Okay.
321
00:11:35,475 --> 00:11:36,243
So where do you want
to start?
322
00:11:36,244 --> 00:11:37,744
You guys look into
Vega's financials.
323
00:11:37,777 --> 00:11:38,944
See if we missed anything.
324
00:11:38,978 --> 00:11:40,347
Castle and I will start
with Cuba.
325
00:11:40,348 --> 00:11:42,048
Cuba. Good idea.
326
00:11:42,081 --> 00:11:44,749
I'll bring the mojitos.
You get the beach towels.
327
00:11:44,784 --> 00:11:46,685
Oh, I don't know, Castle.
328
00:11:46,719 --> 00:11:49,621
Me in a swimsuit
under the hot, blistering sun?
329
00:11:49,688 --> 00:11:51,756
I'd be happy
to rub lotion on you.
330
00:11:51,790 --> 00:11:53,557
That's okay.
I was actually thinking
331
00:11:53,592 --> 00:11:55,327
of something
a little bit more local...
332
00:11:55,328 --> 00:11:56,328
...For their love
and support.
333
00:11:56,661 --> 00:11:59,597
In this time
of great sadness...
Like the man who arranged
the entire trip to Cuba.
334
00:11:59,631 --> 00:12:02,699
Bobby Fox, his agent.
That's a good idea.
335
00:12:02,734 --> 00:12:05,669
But the lotion offer
still stands.
336
00:12:05,703 --> 00:12:08,204
No, thank you.
I have very soft hands.
337
00:12:10,774 --> 00:12:12,741
What is it
with professional sports?
338
00:12:12,775 --> 00:12:16,542
I mean, even the agencies
are on steroids.
Well, fox's client list
339
00:12:16,577 --> 00:12:19,044
is a veritable who's who
of star athletes.
340
00:12:19,078 --> 00:12:20,979
5% of their endorsements
and salaries--
341
00:12:21,013 --> 00:12:23,180
You could pay
for half of lower Manhattan.
342
00:12:23,214 --> 00:12:25,915
Did you just use the word "veritable"?
Yes, I did.
343
00:12:25,949 --> 00:12:27,982
Sexy.
You should hear me say
"fallacious."
344
00:12:28,016 --> 00:12:30,650
Bobby Fox Agency.
Please hold. Can I help you?
345
00:12:30,685 --> 00:12:33,687
I need to see Mr. Fox.
Do you have an appointment?
346
00:12:33,722 --> 00:12:36,693
I think he can squeeze me in.
Rick?
347
00:12:36,727 --> 00:12:39,462
Rick Castle?
Hey, skipper.
348
00:12:39,496 --> 00:12:41,998
I have not seen you
since the big move.
349
00:12:42,032 --> 00:12:44,300
How are you, Joe?
Pretty awful.
350
00:12:44,335 --> 00:12:46,835
I just can't believe
this whole Vega thing.
I know.
351
00:12:46,870 --> 00:12:49,937
It's sad. And you two
were friends. I'm--I'm sorry.
352
00:12:49,971 --> 00:12:51,805
Yeah, he was a great kid.
353
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,441
Uh, he had the ability to be
a Cuban Roberto Clemente.
354
00:12:54,475 --> 00:12:57,376
It's just been very sad.
We're actually here to talk
to Mr. Fox about it.
355
00:12:57,410 --> 00:12:59,581
This is Detective Kate Beckett.
Hi.
356
00:12:59,615 --> 00:13:01,780
Beckett... Kate...
Detective.
357
00:13:01,815 --> 00:13:03,148
Thank you.
358
00:13:03,182 --> 00:13:05,618
Very nice meeting you.
Okay.
359
00:13:05,652 --> 00:13:07,486
Well, good luck on the case.
360
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,554
And, uh, I'll say a prayer
for you guys.
361
00:13:09,588 --> 00:13:11,223
Thanks.
362
00:13:11,257 --> 00:13:14,960
By the way, say hi
to your mom for me, okay?
363
00:13:14,994 --> 00:13:17,061
Will do, Joe.
Okay.
364
00:13:17,096 --> 00:13:18,763
Smooth.
365
00:13:18,797 --> 00:13:21,432
That was
Joe-freakin'-Torre.
366
00:13:21,467 --> 00:13:23,902
I gotta call my dad.
367
00:13:23,936 --> 00:13:26,403
The office is over...
The off--his office is...
368
00:13:26,438 --> 00:13:28,672
He was a good guy--Cano.
369
00:13:28,706 --> 00:13:31,573
He built that field
because he wanted to give back.
370
00:13:31,607 --> 00:13:33,608
I think that's why he went
to Cuba.
371
00:13:33,642 --> 00:13:36,376
He wanted to see
if he could do something good.
372
00:13:36,411 --> 00:13:38,411
But I guess
things hadn't changed
373
00:13:38,446 --> 00:13:40,580
as much as he had hoped for.
What happened?
374
00:13:40,614 --> 00:13:43,482
He had spent some time
in Havana with the people.
375
00:13:43,516 --> 00:13:45,684
He came back pretty upset,
and he told me
376
00:13:45,718 --> 00:13:48,519
to give the tourism guys back
their signing bonus.
377
00:13:48,554 --> 00:13:51,922
First time I ever let a client
give money back.
378
00:13:51,957 --> 00:13:53,857
But I figured, you know,
379
00:13:53,892 --> 00:13:56,426
Cano was reneging
on a military dictatorship.
380
00:13:56,460 --> 00:13:59,529
These are not the people
you want angry at you,
381
00:13:59,563 --> 00:14:02,064
Especially having defected
from them 18 years ago.
382
00:14:02,098 --> 00:14:03,999
He risked his life to leave.
383
00:14:04,033 --> 00:14:07,535
Why would you want him to be
the poster boy for the new Cuba?
384
00:14:07,570 --> 00:14:10,037
Oh, I didn't. I was
just as surprised as anyone
385
00:14:10,072 --> 00:14:11,872
That he wanted to do it.
386
00:14:11,907 --> 00:14:14,041
After everything I did
to get him out back then?
387
00:14:14,075 --> 00:14:16,810
Have you heard this story?
No.
388
00:14:16,844 --> 00:14:19,979
You're gonna like this, Castle.
It's like one of your books.
389
00:14:20,013 --> 00:14:21,980
It was the '92 Olympics.
390
00:14:22,015 --> 00:14:24,049
The Cubans had just won gold
in Barcelona,
391
00:14:24,083 --> 00:14:25,550
Thanks mostly to Cano.
392
00:14:25,584 --> 00:14:28,419
And I wanted to get him
to the states
393
00:14:28,453 --> 00:14:30,087
to play in the bigs.
394
00:14:30,121 --> 00:14:32,289
Now convincing him
was the easy part.
395
00:14:32,323 --> 00:14:35,758
Getting him onto my plane,
that was the hard part.
396
00:14:35,792 --> 00:14:38,994
We had to get past coaches
and minders
397
00:14:39,028 --> 00:14:40,862
And finally...
398
00:14:40,896 --> 00:14:42,897
El pulpo,
399
00:14:42,932 --> 00:14:45,232
Head of State Security,
400
00:14:45,267 --> 00:14:48,669
Because he had his tentacles
around everybody.
401
00:14:48,703 --> 00:14:51,471
And just as we thought
we were home free--boom!
402
00:14:51,505 --> 00:14:53,339
El pulpo.
403
00:14:53,374 --> 00:14:55,407
We were caught, sunk.
404
00:14:55,442 --> 00:14:57,409
A firing squad,
I kid you not,
405
00:14:57,444 --> 00:15:00,245
was waiting for that kid
back in Havana.
406
00:15:00,279 --> 00:15:02,880
You know how
I got us past el pulpo?
407
00:15:02,915 --> 00:15:05,516
Rolex.
408
00:15:05,550 --> 00:15:08,385
I gave him
my shiny new rolex,
409
00:15:08,419 --> 00:15:11,054
And he just looked
the other way.
410
00:15:11,088 --> 00:15:13,189
Just goes to show you,
411
00:15:13,223 --> 00:15:15,825
every socialist is a capitalist
when backs are turned.
412
00:15:15,859 --> 00:15:18,327
Is it possible
that he took the Cuba job
413
00:15:18,362 --> 00:15:20,663
because he needed the money?
Well, it's possible, yes.
414
00:15:20,697 --> 00:15:23,799
God knows those guys know
how to blow through money.
415
00:15:23,833 --> 00:15:26,267
and plus,
he has that club with Tommy
416
00:15:26,302 --> 00:15:29,971
That's just a money pit.
So in regards
to the Cuba job,
417
00:15:30,005 --> 00:15:33,440
who else went on this trip?
Well, a couple of
low-level Cuban diplomats.
418
00:15:33,475 --> 00:15:35,975
I'll have, uh, Cynthia
get you a list.
419
00:15:36,009 --> 00:15:38,009
So what made him
go to Cuba
420
00:15:38,044 --> 00:15:40,277
and then what made him
change his mind?
421
00:15:40,312 --> 00:15:42,812
Well, maybe Vega worked
for the state department.
422
00:15:42,847 --> 00:15:45,347
Maybe he was sent
to shake hands with Fidel
423
00:15:45,382 --> 00:15:46,815
in a secret attempt
424
00:15:46,849 --> 00:15:48,783
to release a biotoxin
into his system.
425
00:15:48,817 --> 00:15:50,851
Well, the Russians
sprayed sushi
426
00:15:50,886 --> 00:15:52,486
with radioactive polonium.
427
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,587
What--
what's more farfetched?
428
00:15:54,621 --> 00:15:56,455
Well, I just met Joe Torre,
429
00:15:56,489 --> 00:15:58,456
so I guess
anything's possible.
430
00:15:58,490 --> 00:16:01,258
Beckett.
431
00:16:01,292 --> 00:16:04,361
Cause of death was cerebral
hemorrhaging, as expected.
432
00:16:04,395 --> 00:16:06,329
Any way to estimate
the height of the attacker
433
00:16:06,363 --> 00:16:09,598
based on the angle of the blows?
Normally, yes,
434
00:16:09,632 --> 00:16:11,533
But I-in this case,
your attacker's first swing
435
00:16:11,567 --> 00:16:14,704
landed a little south of his head.
How far south?
436
00:16:14,771 --> 00:16:16,806
E-enough to make him
a soprano.
437
00:16:16,841 --> 00:16:19,542
Ow. Shoulda worn a cup.
438
00:16:19,576 --> 00:16:21,577
Lacerations around
the patella
439
00:16:21,612 --> 00:16:23,847
suggest Mr. Vega
was on his knees
440
00:16:23,881 --> 00:16:25,849
when he was hit
on the head.
441
00:16:25,884 --> 00:16:29,188
So our attacker could've been anyone?
Man, woman or child.
442
00:16:29,222 --> 00:16:31,124
But that's not
why I called.
443
00:16:31,158 --> 00:16:33,693
Among all the fresh bruising,
444
00:16:33,728 --> 00:16:36,662
we also found
significant subdermal bruises
445
00:16:36,696 --> 00:16:39,731
that weren't quite as fresh.
446
00:16:39,765 --> 00:16:42,600
The contusions
were all fist sized.
447
00:16:42,634 --> 00:16:44,768
He was in a fight.
448
00:16:44,802 --> 00:16:46,204
Couple days ago.
449
00:16:46,239 --> 00:16:49,307
What's this shape right here?
He was wearing a ring.
450
00:16:49,341 --> 00:16:52,109
Not just any ring.
451
00:16:52,143 --> 00:16:53,810
A championship ring.
452
00:16:53,845 --> 00:16:55,778
Left-hand ring finger,
453
00:16:55,813 --> 00:16:57,047
just like his old teammate.
454
00:16:57,048 --> 00:16:59,048
Freight Train Tommy Zane.
455
00:17:02,812 --> 00:17:04,047
You know, mom's family
goes all the way back
456
00:17:04,082 --> 00:17:04,983
to the "Mayflower."
457
00:17:04,984 --> 00:17:06,584
What, her persecution complex
is genetic?
458
00:17:06,918 --> 00:17:08,918
Hey, those are my genes
you're talking about, too.
459
00:17:08,919 --> 00:17:10,719
Well, look on the bright side.
460
00:17:10,753 --> 00:17:12,853
Now that you know
you're genetically predisposed,
461
00:17:12,888 --> 00:17:16,822
you can seek early treatment,
prevent future outbreaks.
462
00:17:17,656 --> 00:17:18,190
Doesn't it bother you
463
00:17:19,424 --> 00:17:20,826
that you don't know
who your dad is?
464
00:17:21,827 --> 00:17:22,827
No.
465
00:17:23,060 --> 00:17:24,027
Why, does it bother you?
466
00:17:24,261 --> 00:17:26,229
It's like...
I have this family tree,
467
00:17:26,263 --> 00:17:28,364
and there's a whole chunk
of it missing.
468
00:17:28,398 --> 00:17:29,499
There's a whole part
of my history
469
00:17:29,534 --> 00:17:31,634
that doesn't even exist.
470
00:17:31,668 --> 00:17:33,670
I mean, really,
how could gram not know?
471
00:17:33,704 --> 00:17:36,705
My first year of college,
I, uh, went to a party,
472
00:17:36,740 --> 00:17:38,306
met this girl--Allison.
473
00:17:38,341 --> 00:17:41,676
In the space of six hours,
we met, we talked, we danced,
474
00:17:41,710 --> 00:17:43,043
we fell in love.
475
00:17:43,078 --> 00:17:45,112
The next morning,
she was gone.
476
00:17:45,146 --> 00:17:47,114
I spent a year
trying to find her,
477
00:17:47,148 --> 00:17:50,150
but I never learned
her last name.
478
00:17:50,184 --> 00:17:52,854
There's not a week that goes by
I don't think about her.
479
00:17:52,889 --> 00:17:55,124
Your gram told me
that she loved a lifetime
480
00:17:55,159 --> 00:17:56,494
the night she met him.
481
00:17:56,895 --> 00:17:58,895
Don't you feel like you're
missing out, not knowing?
482
00:17:59,329 --> 00:18:01,529
No. Oh, no. That's the beauty
of the mystery.
483
00:18:01,564 --> 00:18:04,532
Right now, my father
could be an astronaut,
484
00:18:04,566 --> 00:18:06,500
a pirate, a humanitarian,
485
00:18:06,568 --> 00:18:08,203
winner of the Nobel prize.
486
00:18:08,237 --> 00:18:10,840
I mean, what one man
could live up to all that?
487
00:18:10,841 --> 00:18:12,441
You think he ate whipped cream
out of a can?
488
00:18:12,574 --> 00:18:15,541
Yes, and he invented
whipped cream.
489
00:18:15,575 --> 00:18:17,142
Dad!
490
00:18:17,176 --> 00:18:20,045
You're gonna spoil
your dner.
491
00:18:20,079 --> 00:18:22,815
This is my dinner.
No.
492
00:18:22,849 --> 00:18:24,816
? seconds to your elevator ?
493
00:18:24,851 --> 00:18:26,651
? from the station ?
494
00:18:26,686 --> 00:18:29,086
? how can I resist
that kind of invitation? ?
495
00:18:29,120 --> 00:18:31,287
Mr. Zane.
496
00:18:31,322 --> 00:18:33,989
Detective Beckett.
Mr. Castle.
497
00:18:34,024 --> 00:18:36,024
You're in a festive mood
tonight, Mr. Zane.
498
00:18:36,059 --> 00:18:38,292
Honoring the dead?
Celebrating a life...
499
00:18:38,327 --> 00:18:40,127
The way Cano
would've wanted it.
500
00:18:40,161 --> 00:18:43,430
Yes, nothing says "I'm grieving"
like an appletini.
501
00:18:43,464 --> 00:18:46,399
You must be the "forgive
and forget" type, Mr. Zane,
502
00:18:46,434 --> 00:18:48,001
especially after that beating
503
00:18:48,035 --> 00:18:49,803
that you gave Cano
a couple of nights ago.
504
00:18:49,804 --> 00:18:50,804
What are you talking about?
505
00:18:51,138 --> 00:18:52,706
We found the bruises
left on Vega's body
506
00:18:52,740 --> 00:18:53,975
from where you hit him,
507
00:18:54,009 --> 00:18:55,912
Including the imprints
left by your championship ring.
508
00:18:56,513 --> 00:18:58,113
25 guys have this ring.
509
00:18:58,246 --> 00:18:59,948
Do they all wear it on
their left-hand ring finger?
510
00:18:59,949 --> 00:19:00,849
Some of 'em, yeah.
511
00:19:00,882 --> 00:19:03,050
Do they all have abrasions
on that finger
512
00:19:03,084 --> 00:19:05,185
that are consistent
with assault?
513
00:19:05,219 --> 00:19:06,386
What happened, Mr. Zane?
514
00:19:06,420 --> 00:19:08,488
Was Cano tired of
dumping money into this club?
515
00:19:08,522 --> 00:19:11,523
He didn't care about the money.
Then what was it?
516
00:19:13,526 --> 00:19:15,326
His wife.
517
00:19:15,361 --> 00:19:17,328
His wife?
You and she were--
518
00:19:17,362 --> 00:19:18,729
No.
519
00:19:18,763 --> 00:19:21,864
But he thought w--
520
00:19:21,931 --> 00:19:24,232
Maggie was upset,
said she thought Cano
521
00:19:24,266 --> 00:19:26,300
was having an affair
and wanted to know
522
00:19:26,334 --> 00:19:27,335
if I'd seen him down here
at the club with anybody.
523
00:19:27,336 --> 00:19:28,336
What'd you tell her?
524
00:19:28,470 --> 00:19:29,538
I told her no, of course.
525
00:19:29,539 --> 00:19:30,539
Was that the truth?
526
00:19:30,573 --> 00:19:32,409
Look, I've been
through this before.
527
00:19:32,443 --> 00:19:34,244
Cano was having
some kind of crisis.
528
00:19:34,278 --> 00:19:36,547
He wasn't gonna leave her.
So why tell her the truth?
529
00:19:36,548 --> 00:19:38,448
So Vega was having an affair?
530
00:19:38,481 --> 00:19:40,683
I'd seen him with a girl--
young, Cuban.
531
00:19:40,717 --> 00:19:43,218
You know, I figured after
his visit, he was missing home.
532
00:19:43,252 --> 00:19:45,120
Anyway, he saw me leaving
his house that night,
533
00:19:45,154 --> 00:19:48,221
and when he asked Maggie why I
was there, she got evasive.
534
00:19:48,255 --> 00:19:50,856
So naturally, he thought she was
having an affair of her own.
535
00:19:50,891 --> 00:19:52,190
Came after me swinging.
536
00:19:52,225 --> 00:19:54,192
Took a couple of shots
to his ribs
537
00:19:54,226 --> 00:19:56,860
to calm him down enough before
I could tell him the truth.
538
00:19:56,895 --> 00:19:58,329
This girl that he was dating,
do you remember her name?
539
00:19:58,330 --> 00:19:59,830
No, he never told me
her name.
540
00:20:00,064 --> 00:20:03,900
But I might have a picture
on my phone.
541
00:20:03,934 --> 00:20:06,134
What is it with professional
athletes and politicians
542
00:20:06,168 --> 00:20:08,468
that they just can't
keep it in their pants?
543
00:20:08,502 --> 00:20:11,636
They're just overgrown teenagers
with delicate little egos.
544
00:20:11,671 --> 00:20:13,772
It's not that deep.
It's just simple math.
545
00:20:13,806 --> 00:20:15,506
They just have
more opportunity.
546
00:20:15,541 --> 00:20:17,709
Well, what are you saying,
men are dogs?
547
00:20:17,743 --> 00:20:20,344
No. The greater the opportunity,
the greater the likelihood.
548
00:20:20,378 --> 00:20:22,845
Which means the two of you
have nothing to worry about.
549
00:20:22,846 --> 00:20:23,846
Ryan has nothing
to worry about.
550
00:20:24,079 --> 00:20:26,180
Hey.
Cano Vega, on the other hand...
551
00:20:26,214 --> 00:20:29,483
His wife said that he changed
when he got back from Cuba.
552
00:20:29,518 --> 00:20:31,052
Maybe it wasn't Cuba.
Maybe it was the girl.
553
00:20:31,053 --> 00:20:32,253
That could explain
the 200 grand.
554
00:20:32,387 --> 00:20:33,388
Maybe he needed it
for the girl.
555
00:20:33,389 --> 00:20:35,289
And why he needed to borrow
money from a loan shark
556
00:20:35,322 --> 00:20:36,490
without her finding out.
557
00:20:36,491 --> 00:20:38,091
But Maggie Vega
did find out.
558
00:20:39,225 --> 00:20:41,592
So she decides she's not
gonna take it anymore.
559
00:20:41,627 --> 00:20:42,427
She considers divorce,
560
00:20:42,495 --> 00:20:44,828
but thought about
the endless hours of scrutiny,
561
00:20:44,862 --> 00:20:46,663
The public humiliation
in the media.
562
00:20:46,664 --> 00:20:47,864
Not to mention
that she'd only get half.
563
00:20:47,898 --> 00:20:49,831
Uh, assuming
there's no prenup.
564
00:20:49,866 --> 00:20:52,135
But if she kills him,
she gets everything.
565
00:20:52,169 --> 00:20:54,205
Mm-hmm. She knows
where he's gonna be,
566
00:20:54,239 --> 00:20:56,006
alone, at night.
567
00:20:56,041 --> 00:20:57,675
She goes there.
568
00:20:57,709 --> 00:21:00,242
He trusts her,
lets his guard down.
569
00:21:00,277 --> 00:21:01,743
She moves in close.
570
00:21:01,778 --> 00:21:03,678
She smiles, picks up a bat,
571
00:21:03,713 --> 00:21:05,713
thinks of everything
that he's done to her,
572
00:21:05,748 --> 00:21:08,215
starts with the family jewels
573
00:21:08,283 --> 00:21:10,851
and ends
with the family fortune.
574
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,156
This is crazy.
Why would I kill my husband?
575
00:21:17,190 --> 00:21:19,758
Because you thought
he was having an affair.
576
00:21:19,792 --> 00:21:21,092
You know?
577
00:21:21,127 --> 00:21:23,128
How?
It doesn't matter how we know.
578
00:21:23,162 --> 00:21:24,730
What matters is that
you didn't tell us.
579
00:21:24,831 --> 00:21:26,331
It was a private matter
580
00:21:26,464 --> 00:21:28,399
between Cano and me.
It's also motive.
581
00:21:28,433 --> 00:21:30,201
Mrs. Vega, where were you
on the night
582
00:21:30,235 --> 00:21:32,636
of your husband's murder?
At home alone.
583
00:21:32,771 --> 00:21:34,672
You can check
the security tapes if you want.
584
00:21:36,106 --> 00:21:39,041
So... it's true then?
585
00:21:39,075 --> 00:21:41,009
He was seeing someone else?
586
00:21:41,043 --> 00:21:42,445
We don't
know that for sure.
587
00:21:44,446 --> 00:21:45,446
I do.
588
00:21:48,882 --> 00:21:50,517
He was in love with her.
589
00:21:52,051 --> 00:21:53,252
Her name is Lara.
590
00:21:52,787 --> 00:21:56,689
Mi cari
591
00:21:56,723 --> 00:21:58,691
Who is she?
I don't know.
592
00:21:58,725 --> 00:22:01,527
I've torn this house upside down
looking for a clue.
593
00:22:01,562 --> 00:22:03,729
That note is the only thing
I've found.
594
00:22:03,764 --> 00:22:06,965
"2/16"--that's the day
before the murder.
Yeah.
595
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,901
He went into the city that day,
didn't get home until 10:30.
596
00:22:09,935 --> 00:22:11,169
That's why I knew.
597
00:22:11,203 --> 00:22:13,671
Mrs. Vega, this woman
is possibly involved
598
00:22:13,705 --> 00:22:15,339
in your husband's murder.
599
00:22:15,374 --> 00:22:17,341
Why didn't you
tell us this before?
600
00:22:17,375 --> 00:22:19,342
Because I...
601
00:22:19,376 --> 00:22:22,110
I just didn't
want it to be true.
602
00:22:22,144 --> 00:22:25,280
Home security videos
confirm Mrs. Vega's story,
603
00:22:25,314 --> 00:22:28,282
And C.S.U. tested negative
for blood at Tommy Zane's place.
604
00:22:28,317 --> 00:22:30,750
Where are we
on the girl?
605
00:22:30,751 --> 00:22:32,551
Just finished combing through
Vega's internet records.
606
00:22:32,584 --> 00:22:35,686
There are no I.M's, e-mails
or internet browser searches
607
00:22:35,754 --> 00:22:37,456
connecting him in any way,
shape or form to a Lara.
608
00:22:37,490 --> 00:22:39,424
Phones are a dead end, too.
609
00:22:39,459 --> 00:22:42,360
No one who called or was called
by Vega in the last two months
610
00:22:42,394 --> 00:22:43,561
remembers him mentioning
anyone named Lara.
611
00:22:43,595 --> 00:22:45,596
Well, for a guy who's
supposedly in love,
612
00:22:45,630 --> 00:22:47,799
he doesn't do a very good job
keeping in touch with his girl.
613
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:49,400
Some guys are just hopeless.
614
00:22:50,401 --> 00:22:51,401
Hey, honey.
615
00:22:51,534 --> 00:22:53,335
Yeah, I was just thinking
about you, thought I'd call you.
616
00:22:53,370 --> 00:22:55,737
Well, I just wanted to call
to say I miss you.
617
00:22:55,738 --> 00:22:58,138
Yeah.
Some guys are just pathetic.
618
00:22:58,171 --> 00:22:59,372
I don't know.
About 7:00.
619
00:22:59,373 --> 00:23:00,973
Don't be jealous.
He still loves you.
620
00:23:01,006 --> 00:23:02,573
Vega met with her
the day before he died,
621
00:23:02,607 --> 00:23:04,641
so let's put photos out
to all precincts
622
00:23:04,676 --> 00:23:06,743
and have uniforms canvass
the area around the field.
623
00:23:06,777 --> 00:23:09,145
Maybe somebody saw her
the night that he was killed.
624
00:23:09,146 --> 00:23:10,146
- Beckett.
- Yes, sir.
625
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:12,248
How we doing
on the Cuba angle?
626
00:23:12,282 --> 00:23:13,751
Nothing yet. Why?
627
00:23:13,752 --> 00:23:15,752
Just got a call from the lieu
over in Union City, New Jersey.
628
00:23:15,786 --> 00:23:17,853
Vega was involved
in a shouting match
629
00:23:17,888 --> 00:23:20,323
at a restaurant in little Havana
with one of their regulars.
630
00:23:20,357 --> 00:23:21,525
Apparently the cops were
called in to break it up.
631
00:23:21,526 --> 00:23:23,026
Why wasn't there
an incident report?
632
00:23:23,059 --> 00:23:24,460
Cops kept it quiet
at the time
633
00:23:24,494 --> 00:23:25,895
At the request
of the Cuba consulate.
634
00:23:25,896 --> 00:23:26,896
Because of Vega?
635
00:23:26,930 --> 00:23:28,597
No, because of who Vega
was fighting with.
636
00:23:29,031 --> 00:23:31,833
Mario s
637
00:23:31,834 --> 00:23:34,134
He was one of the diplomats
that took Vega to Cuba.
638
00:23:34,167 --> 00:23:35,168
What did they fight about?
639
00:23:35,169 --> 00:23:36,669
I don't know, but seeing that
they were in Cuba together,
640
00:23:37,003 --> 00:23:39,203
I suggest you find out.
641
00:23:48,211 --> 00:23:49,311
On the night of the 17th,
642
00:23:49,346 --> 00:23:51,779
I was here
at the consulate.
643
00:23:52,314 --> 00:23:53,950
You don't really think
I killed Cano Vega, do you?
644
00:23:53,951 --> 00:23:56,651
Given his change of heart
in Cuba, I can't imagine
645
00:23:56,884 --> 00:23:58,186
That the two of you
were the best of friends.
646
00:23:58,187 --> 00:23:59,587
You could say the same thing
647
00:23:59,621 --> 00:24:00,956
about most of
the Cuban community here.
648
00:24:00,957 --> 00:24:02,857
Yes, but how many of them
ended up dead
649
00:24:02,990 --> 00:24:04,591
after fighting with you
in a restaurant?
650
00:24:04,625 --> 00:24:06,726
I was minding my own business.
651
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,262
Vega was the one who decided
to pick a fight with me.
652
00:24:09,263 --> 00:24:10,263
Why?
653
00:24:11,097 --> 00:24:12,798
I was in charge
of his schedule in Cuba.
654
00:24:12,932 --> 00:24:15,700
I guess he didn't like to be
told what to do or where to go.
655
00:24:15,734 --> 00:24:17,703
Sounds like you kept him
on a pretty tight leash.
656
00:24:17,737 --> 00:24:20,170
We did a counterrevolutionary
the courtesy
657
00:24:20,205 --> 00:24:21,905
of allowing him
back on our soil.
658
00:24:22,239 --> 00:24:24,174
We weren't about to just
let him wander around.
659
00:24:24,608 --> 00:24:26,010
So you would know
better than anyone else
660
00:24:26,045 --> 00:24:27,579
what Vega did on his trip?
661
00:24:27,580 --> 00:24:28,580
That's my job.
662
00:24:28,914 --> 00:24:30,748
Everyone we've spoke to
about Vega
663
00:24:30,782 --> 00:24:32,416
says he came back from Cuba
a different man.
664
00:24:33,650 --> 00:24:35,151
What happened to him
down there?
665
00:24:35,185 --> 00:24:37,886
He was very emotional
666
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:39,220
the whole time he was there--
667
00:24:39,255 --> 00:24:42,855
Uh, talking to the locals,
feeling sorry for them
668
00:24:42,990 --> 00:24:44,991
Because they were poor
and he was rich.
669
00:24:45,025 --> 00:24:46,826
Truth is, he felt guilty.
670
00:24:46,860 --> 00:24:50,061
When Vega returned,
he borrowed $200,000 in cash.
671
00:24:50,097 --> 00:24:52,831
Is it possiblet hat he was trying to
funnel money to the island,
672
00:24:52,866 --> 00:24:54,100
Help some of
the locals out, maybe?
673
00:24:54,101 --> 00:24:55,101
Not on my watch.
674
00:24:55,135 --> 00:24:56,502
Yeah, you can't have that.
675
00:24:56,936 --> 00:24:59,270
Rich people sharing their
wealth? That's like socialism.
676
00:24:59,305 --> 00:25:00,671
Please.
677
00:25:00,706 --> 00:25:04,541
The truth is that Cano Vega,
like all americans, was spoiled.
678
00:25:04,576 --> 00:25:06,444
When the poverty
was before his eyes--
679
00:25:06,578 --> 00:25:08,080
It's an unspeakable tragedy.
680
00:25:08,115 --> 00:25:11,850
And then, out of sight,
out of mind.
681
00:25:12,484 --> 00:25:13,818
He didn't know
that I was aware,
682
00:25:14,653 --> 00:25:15,386
but do you want to know
683
00:25:15,421 --> 00:25:17,955
the thing that interested Vega
most about Cuba?
684
00:25:19,489 --> 00:25:21,258
A girl.
685
00:25:21,292 --> 00:25:23,727
What girl?
686
00:25:23,761 --> 00:25:26,563
He met a lot of locals,
kissed a lot of babies.
687
00:25:26,597 --> 00:25:29,065
I can only assume
it was a pretty young thing
688
00:25:29,099 --> 00:25:31,133
he met while
he was touring the island.
689
00:25:31,167 --> 00:25:33,135
Do you know her name?
690
00:25:33,169 --> 00:25:34,736
Lara.
691
00:25:34,770 --> 00:25:36,072
Her name was Lara.
692
00:25:37,407 --> 00:25:39,875
So Vega fell in love
with a girl in Cuba.
693
00:25:40,109 --> 00:25:41,478
If you take S
694
00:25:41,479 --> 00:25:43,779
Well, he couldn't have
just pulled the name Lara
695
00:25:43,812 --> 00:25:44,947
out of thin air.
696
00:25:44,948 --> 00:25:47,348
According to the note that
the wife found, Vega and Lara
697
00:25:47,382 --> 00:25:49,616
were supposed to meet the night
before he was murdered.
698
00:25:49,651 --> 00:25:52,286
Now how are they supposed to
do that if she's stuck in Cuba?
699
00:25:52,287 --> 00:25:53,687
If she's stuck on the island,
700
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,354
how did she end up in that
photo with Vega at his club?
701
00:25:56,388 --> 00:25:58,991
There has to be an explanation
that makes this all make sense.
702
00:25:58,992 --> 00:25:59,992
There is.
703
00:26:00,625 --> 00:26:03,559
The woman standing next to Vega
in the picture is not Lara.
704
00:26:03,693 --> 00:26:05,594
A resident near the ballpark
where Vega was killed
705
00:26:05,629 --> 00:26:08,296
I.D.'ed her.
Her names Ana, Ana Rivera.
706
00:26:08,331 --> 00:26:09,599
She's a waitress
in the neighborhood.
707
00:26:09,633 --> 00:26:10,768
Uniforms are
bringing her in now.
708
00:26:10,769 --> 00:26:12,469
What's her connection
to Vega?
709
00:26:13,203 --> 00:26:15,404
Cuba.
She escaped six months ago.
710
00:26:18,106 --> 00:26:20,775
We met at a bar
where I work, near his field.
711
00:26:21,309 --> 00:26:24,177
He heard I'd just
come over from Cuba last year,
712
00:26:24,211 --> 00:26:25,812
and he invited me out
for drinks.
713
00:26:25,946 --> 00:26:27,046
Did you know
he was married?
714
00:26:27,047 --> 00:26:28,047
It wasn't like that.
715
00:26:29,181 --> 00:26:32,715
He just wanted to talk...
about home.
716
00:26:32,750 --> 00:26:34,453
He missed it. I think
that's why he wanted to go.
717
00:26:34,487 --> 00:26:37,022
You were photographed with him
after the trip.
718
00:26:37,056 --> 00:26:39,557
Did he still want to...
just talk?
719
00:26:39,591 --> 00:26:42,927
Yes. He wanted to talk about
my trip here from Cuba.
720
00:26:43,061 --> 00:26:46,429
It was like he was obsessed.
He wanted to know how I got out.
721
00:26:46,663 --> 00:26:47,631
And what did you tell him?
722
00:26:50,666 --> 00:26:53,801
Ana, what did you tell
Mr. Vega?
723
00:26:53,835 --> 00:26:56,603
I said my family knew a man.
724
00:26:56,637 --> 00:26:59,104
If--if you pay him
lots of money,
725
00:26:59,139 --> 00:27:01,940
Mi cari
726
00:27:01,975 --> 00:27:03,742
Mi cari
727
00:27:03,776 --> 00:27:05,277
His boat.
728
00:27:05,311 --> 00:27:07,212
It takes you to Jamaica,
729
00:27:07,246 --> 00:27:09,747
and then you fly
to America.
730
00:27:09,815 --> 00:27:11,818
It's important that you fly,
because if you come by boat,
731
00:27:11,852 --> 00:27:13,787
then they can send you back.
732
00:27:14,822 --> 00:27:16,491
That's the wet-foot,
dry-foot policy.
733
00:27:16,892 --> 00:27:17,792
Vega was looking for a way
734
00:27:17,825 --> 00:27:19,627
to get his new girlfriend
out of Cuba.
735
00:27:19,661 --> 00:27:23,663
"mi cari
736
00:27:23,698 --> 00:27:25,532
"mi cari
737
00:27:25,566 --> 00:27:28,433
which means she arrived
on the 17th.
738
00:27:28,467 --> 00:27:31,002
That's the same day Vega died.
That can't be a coincidence.
739
00:27:31,036 --> 00:27:34,137
Ana, you told Mr. Vega
how to get in touch
740
00:27:34,172 --> 00:27:35,806
with the man who got you
out of Cuba.
741
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,375
Yes. He runs a newspaper.
742
00:27:39,209 --> 00:27:40,977
"Una Nueva Esperanza,"
743
00:27:41,011 --> 00:27:42,279
on East 98th.
744
00:27:42,413 --> 00:27:44,481
Alfredo Quintana, the editor?
745
00:27:48,517 --> 00:27:52,054
He lied to us.
746
00:27:52,655 --> 00:27:55,390
All right, first you accuse me
of killing Vega.
747
00:27:55,424 --> 00:27:57,425
Then you're saying
that I'm helping him.
748
00:27:57,459 --> 00:27:59,493
So maybe you guys
should make up your mind.
749
00:27:59,528 --> 00:28:01,462
Well, actually,we made up our minds,
750
00:28:01,496 --> 00:28:03,798
once we saw the $200,000
in your bank account.
751
00:28:03,799 --> 00:28:04,799
That's the exact amount
752
00:28:04,832 --> 00:28:06,532
Cano Vega borrowed
from a loan shark.
753
00:28:06,633 --> 00:28:08,533
Since what you were doing
was illegal,
754
00:28:08,666 --> 00:28:09,997
he didn't want there to be
any record of it.
755
00:28:10,031 --> 00:28:12,030
You know, I don't know
what you're talking about.
756
00:28:18,334 --> 00:28:20,901
These aren't my accounts.
All right?
757
00:28:21,135 --> 00:28:22,102
This is
the foundation's account.
758
00:28:22,137 --> 00:28:23,537
My name isn't even on them.
759
00:28:23,572 --> 00:28:25,273
Which is why you hid
the money there,
760
00:28:25,308 --> 00:28:26,443
to make it harder for us
to find.
761
00:28:26,444 --> 00:28:28,644
These were
charitable contributions.
762
00:28:28,777 --> 00:28:30,581
Where's the girl?
763
00:28:30,615 --> 00:28:32,550
What girl?
764
00:28:32,684 --> 00:28:35,853
Mr. Quintana,
you and your foundation
765
00:28:35,888 --> 00:28:38,055
are facing
human smuggling charges.
766
00:28:38,089 --> 00:28:41,224
Do you really want me to add
obstruction of justice
767
00:28:41,258 --> 00:28:44,892
and aiding and abetting
a murderer to that?
768
00:28:44,927 --> 00:28:47,494
You like the press,
don't you?
769
00:28:47,529 --> 00:28:48,129
How are you gonna like
770
00:28:48,163 --> 00:28:50,729
being linked
to Cano Vega's murder?
771
00:28:50,764 --> 00:28:52,997
You know what they'll see?
772
00:28:53,032 --> 00:28:56,265
That I saved a girl
from under Castro's regime.
773
00:28:56,300 --> 00:28:58,101
For a price.
Yeah, I would've done it for free.
774
00:28:58,135 --> 00:28:59,202
Yeah, but you didn't.
775
00:29:00,237 --> 00:29:01,804
Are you really ready
to stake your entire future
776
00:29:01,939 --> 00:29:03,572
on some girl
you don't even know?
777
00:29:08,608 --> 00:29:12,109
Vega had
an apartment for her.
778
00:29:12,144 --> 00:29:14,116
I took her there
when I got her to the mainland.
779
00:29:14,117 --> 00:29:15,117
Where?
780
00:29:15,451 --> 00:29:17,022
Union City, Summit Avenue.
781
00:29:17,756 --> 00:29:19,291
NYPD!
NYPD!
782
00:29:19,326 --> 00:29:20,962
NYPD!
Police! Police!
783
00:29:21,196 --> 00:29:22,699
Police! Police!
NYPD! NYPD!
784
00:29:25,802 --> 00:29:27,102
Clear.
Clear.
785
00:29:27,137 --> 00:29:28,937
Clear.
786
00:29:31,873 --> 00:29:33,306
Looks like
nobody's home.
787
00:29:33,341 --> 00:29:36,109
This girl's in dire need
of a trip to Ikea.
788
00:29:36,143 --> 00:29:37,378
This bed
hasn't even been made.
789
00:29:37,412 --> 00:29:38,613
I don't think
she was sleeping here.
790
00:29:40,348 --> 00:29:41,381
Beckett.
791
00:29:41,415 --> 00:29:42,449
Yeah.
792
00:29:42,584 --> 00:29:43,918
Looks like dirt.
793
00:29:44,452 --> 00:29:45,620
Get C.S.U. down here.
794
00:29:48,289 --> 00:29:50,790
You guys.
795
00:29:54,261 --> 00:29:56,562
There's blood.
796
00:29:56,596 --> 00:29:58,296
It's definitely Vega's.
797
00:29:58,331 --> 00:29:59,566
And the footprint?
798
00:29:59,667 --> 00:30:02,767
That's harder to nail down.
The composition of the dirt
799
00:30:02,801 --> 00:30:04,669
is pretty similar to dirt
anywhere in the city.
800
00:30:04,703 --> 00:30:06,705
So we can't actually prove
that she was at the scene?
801
00:30:06,706 --> 00:30:07,706
I just said it's harder.
802
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:10,774
But there were traces of
titanium dioxide in the dirt.
803
00:30:10,808 --> 00:30:14,110
Chalk.
Like what they use to
trace lines on baseball fields.
804
00:30:14,177 --> 00:30:15,746
So she heads to the field,
805
00:30:15,780 --> 00:30:17,714
takes a little batting practice
on Vega's head,
806
00:30:17,748 --> 00:30:20,250
heads home, packs her things,
hits the road.
807
00:30:20,284 --> 00:30:22,985
Giving a whole new meaning
to the term "hit-and-run."
808
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:25,320
Beckett.
B-e-c-k-e double-t.
809
00:30:25,355 --> 00:30:27,455
Badge 4-1-3-1-9.
810
00:30:27,989 --> 00:30:31,057
I need a T.S.A. hold
on a potential fugitive.
811
00:30:31,091 --> 00:30:32,559
Yes, I'll hold.
812
00:30:32,593 --> 00:30:34,862
Uniforms are circulating
that picture of Lara
813
00:30:34,896 --> 00:30:35,696
we got from Quintana.
814
00:30:35,731 --> 00:30:37,031
They're plastering it
on every storefront
815
00:30:37,065 --> 00:30:39,066
within a mile of her place.
So it was the girl?
816
00:30:39,100 --> 00:30:41,701
Evidence looks that way.
We figure she honey trapped Vega
817
00:30:41,736 --> 00:30:43,036
into giving her
tickets out of Cuba,
818
00:30:43,071 --> 00:30:44,472
and when she got here,
he wanted a little more
819
00:30:44,506 --> 00:30:45,340
than she was willing to give,
820
00:30:45,374 --> 00:30:46,575
and things went south
from there.
821
00:30:46,576 --> 00:30:48,376
Maybe it was
the Cuban government all along.
822
00:30:48,710 --> 00:30:50,143
They hated Vega for defecting.
823
00:30:50,178 --> 00:30:53,078
So they send a beautiful spy
for him to fall in love with.
824
00:30:53,113 --> 00:30:58,179
It works. He smuggles her
back home, and bam!
825
00:30:58,113 --> 00:30:59,313
He's dead.
826
00:31:00,048 --> 00:31:01,948
Sounds like a Castle story.
827
00:31:01,982 --> 00:31:03,549
I'll call it
"Coraz
828
00:31:03,550 --> 00:31:05,350
Yes. I need
a detain and contain.
829
00:31:05,484 --> 00:31:07,851
All no-fly protocols.
Thank you.
830
00:31:07,886 --> 00:31:10,754
Though we really should
stake out the consulate.
Way ahead of you.
831
00:31:10,788 --> 00:31:12,855
Surveillance has been there
for about an hour.
832
00:31:12,890 --> 00:31:15,191
If she killed him
out of self-defense,
833
00:31:15,225 --> 00:31:16,462
then she'd go back
to the devil she knows.
834
00:31:16,463 --> 00:31:19,063
And yet I'm sensing
skepticism on my theory.
835
00:31:19,097 --> 00:31:20,597
Yeah, thanks.
Mind reader.
836
00:31:20,631 --> 00:31:23,666
Well, you're both geniuses. That
was our guys at the consulate.
837
00:31:23,700 --> 00:31:25,601
They just spotted Lara walking
right through the door.
838
00:31:25,635 --> 00:31:27,070
I don't know
what to tell you.
839
00:31:27,104 --> 00:31:28,639
I've never seen
that girl before.
840
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:30,940
Well, then you should invest
in some corrective lenses.
841
00:31:31,574 --> 00:31:33,542
Our surveillance team
saw her coming in here
842
00:31:33,576 --> 00:31:34,410
not half an hour ago.
843
00:31:34,477 --> 00:31:37,246
Surveillance team?
You're watching us now?
844
00:31:37,347 --> 00:31:38,647
Only within
the scope of the law.
845
00:31:38,780 --> 00:31:41,082
The watcher
becomes the watched.
846
00:31:41,716 --> 00:31:43,817
I'm a big fan of irony.
Ask her.
847
00:31:43,851 --> 00:31:47,086
She's a Cuban citizen
requesting asylum.
848
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,155
She's a suspect
in a murder investigation.
849
00:31:49,189 --> 00:31:51,223
And you expect me
just to hand her over
850
00:31:51,257 --> 00:31:52,492
to the American authorities?
851
00:31:52,493 --> 00:31:54,893
Mr. S
852
00:31:54,927 --> 00:31:57,128
a country's consulate
and its embassy
853
00:31:57,163 --> 00:31:59,663
have a different set
of rights and privileges.
854
00:32:00,197 --> 00:32:02,098
This is only a consulate.
855
00:32:02,132 --> 00:32:04,202
You do not have
diplomatic immunity.
856
00:32:07,237 --> 00:32:08,573
Produce the girl now
857
00:32:08,608 --> 00:32:11,147
or I will get a search warrant
and make a public spectacle
858
00:32:11,181 --> 00:32:15,552
of your government harboring
a criminal on American soil.
859
00:32:15,586 --> 00:32:17,553
Ouch.
860
00:32:24,626 --> 00:32:27,092
s
861
00:32:35,961 --> 00:32:38,029
No, I-I-I did not
kill him.
862
00:32:38,063 --> 00:32:40,031
please.
You have to believe
then why did you run?
863
00:32:40,099 --> 00:32:41,501
Why did you try
to go back to Cuba?
864
00:32:41,702 --> 00:32:45,002
I was afraid the man
will kill me, too.
865
00:32:45,036 --> 00:32:47,638
What man?
The one who come the night he died.
866
00:32:47,673 --> 00:32:51,674
He come to...
El piso.
867
00:32:51,709 --> 00:32:53,010
The apartment.
He came to the apartment.
868
00:32:53,011 --> 00:32:54,711
There was a man
who came to the apartment
869
00:32:54,744 --> 00:32:57,045
the night that Vega died,
and that's why you were running?
870
00:32:57,780 --> 00:32:59,580
He kill my father.
871
00:33:00,514 --> 00:33:01,414
Your father?
872
00:33:01,549 --> 00:33:02,282
Vega.
873
00:33:02,316 --> 00:33:03,883
Cano Vega is your father?
874
00:33:04,918 --> 00:33:06,853
O-okay, Lara, take us
from the beginning.
875
00:33:06,887 --> 00:33:08,355
Desde del principio.
876
00:33:08,389 --> 00:33:10,458
Vega and my mother...
877
00:33:21,503 --> 00:33:23,804
Vega and her mother
were engaged when he defected.
878
00:33:23,838 --> 00:33:27,073
She's supposed to come,
but she didn't.
879
00:33:27,108 --> 00:33:30,042
As punishment for what Vega did,
they threw her mother in pson.
880
00:33:30,077 --> 00:33:33,979
She was pregnant with her
at the time.
881
00:33:34,013 --> 00:33:35,313
Did Vega know about this?
882
00:33:38,516 --> 00:33:39,816
not until
a couple of months ago
883
00:33:39,850 --> 00:33:41,517
When he heard a rumor
that he had a daughter.
884
00:33:41,518 --> 00:33:43,318
Well, that's why Vega
went to Cuba.
885
00:33:43,452 --> 00:33:44,986
To see if
he really did have a daughter.
886
00:33:49,422 --> 00:33:50,623
They didn't actually meet
887
00:33:50,657 --> 00:33:52,224
because the government
was watching him.
888
00:33:52,258 --> 00:33:55,493
but he got her a message
889
00:33:55,528 --> 00:33:57,929
saying that he would get her out
as soon as he could.
890
00:33:57,963 --> 00:34:01,465
The first time
I meet my father was...
891
00:34:02,399 --> 00:34:03,500
Three nights ago,
892
00:34:03,934 --> 00:34:05,568
And I want to tell him
893
00:34:05,603 --> 00:34:08,638
how much suffering
he caused.
894
00:34:13,875 --> 00:34:14,509
She grew up believing
895
00:34:14,543 --> 00:34:16,811
that her father had abandoned
her mother to get rich.
896
00:34:16,845 --> 00:34:18,746
But he told her that
that wasn't true...
897
00:34:18,780 --> 00:34:21,148
that he only defected
898
00:34:21,182 --> 00:34:24,016
because her mother said that
she was going to as well.
899
00:34:24,051 --> 00:34:27,385
but that she had changed
her mind at the last minute.
900
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:29,420
All these years,
901
00:34:29,454 --> 00:34:32,189
he had thought that she had
turned her back on him.
902
00:34:32,224 --> 00:34:34,492
He never knew that they--
903
00:34:34,727 --> 00:34:36,896
that the government
had made an example of him
904
00:34:36,930 --> 00:34:38,499
to all the other players.
905
00:34:40,335 --> 00:34:42,470
He never knew
that she had died in prison.
906
00:34:42,505 --> 00:34:44,408
My father...
907
00:34:44,442 --> 00:34:47,177
is very upset
when I tell him this.
908
00:34:47,212 --> 00:34:49,613
He said he need
to talk to someone.
909
00:34:49,648 --> 00:34:52,351
He, uh, uh,
give me money for food.
910
00:34:52,385 --> 00:34:54,355
I never see him again.
911
00:34:54,389 --> 00:34:57,394
You said earlier that there was
a man at the apartment.
912
00:34:57,428 --> 00:34:59,297
When I go to...
913
00:34:59,332 --> 00:35:01,334
the market
to go buy food,
914
00:35:02,369 --> 00:35:03,638
When I come back...
915
00:35:03,872 --> 00:35:07,543
I see a man at the, um,
um, apartment,
916
00:35:07,578 --> 00:35:09,913
Not my father.
917
00:35:09,948 --> 00:35:12,649
I was so scared,
so I leave.
918
00:35:12,683 --> 00:35:14,951
Then I hear Cano Vega
is dead.
919
00:35:14,985 --> 00:35:19,055
So I run, and I hide.
920
00:35:19,089 --> 00:35:21,691
I just wanted to go home.
921
00:35:21,725 --> 00:35:24,059
He killed my father.
922
00:35:24,094 --> 00:35:27,996
This man who came
to your apartment...
923
00:35:28,030 --> 00:35:30,465
can you describe him
for me?
924
00:35:30,499 --> 00:35:32,967
Yes.
925
00:35:33,002 --> 00:35:35,436
Let--let me
get this straight.
926
00:35:35,471 --> 00:35:38,271
An illegal claiming to be
Cano Vega's daughter,
927
00:35:38,306 --> 00:35:41,239
after being in this country
for less than 24 hours,
928
00:35:41,273 --> 00:35:43,836
identifies someone
who kind of looks like me
929
00:35:43,870 --> 00:35:45,934
from a distance at night?
930
00:35:45,968 --> 00:35:47,400
Well, gee, guys.
931
00:35:47,434 --> 00:35:50,300
What, do I--what, do I sign
my confession right now
932
00:35:50,334 --> 00:35:52,533
or after the big, uh,
press conference?
933
00:35:52,567 --> 00:35:54,365
Well, now's good.
934
00:35:54,433 --> 00:35:56,365
Come on, kids.
935
00:35:56,399 --> 00:35:57,899
Come on.
936
00:35:57,933 --> 00:35:59,734
You know he was my friend.
937
00:35:59,768 --> 00:36:01,337
Not to mention,
a hefty commission.
938
00:36:01,371 --> 00:36:03,007
What's my motive?
939
00:36:03,108 --> 00:36:04,908
The thing about people
who have a lot, Mr. Fox,
940
00:36:05,041 --> 00:36:06,908
is that they have
the most to lose.
941
00:36:07,042 --> 00:36:09,576
I'm sure Vega felt betrayed
when he learned the truth.
942
00:36:09,611 --> 00:36:12,444
The truth? About what?
943
00:36:12,478 --> 00:36:15,712
Your favorite story--
Barcelona, 1992.
944
00:36:15,846 --> 00:36:18,881
Only you left out the part
where you lied to Cano Vega
945
00:36:18,915 --> 00:36:20,385
about helping
his fianc
946
00:36:20,419 --> 00:36:22,456
It's not my fault
that she changed her mind,
947
00:36:22,490 --> 00:36:25,692
All right?
Truth is, you couldn't
get her off the island.
948
00:36:25,726 --> 00:36:28,160
But you did know that
he'd rather be there with her
949
00:36:28,195 --> 00:36:30,629
than here making big bucks
for you in the majors.
950
00:36:30,664 --> 00:36:33,131
So you let him believe
that she had changed her mind.
951
00:36:33,165 --> 00:36:35,334
And to keep him from ever
finding out the truth,
952
00:36:35,368 --> 00:36:36,302
you had her put away.
953
00:36:36,336 --> 00:36:40,637
Put away? In Cuba?
oh, come on.
954
00:36:41,672 --> 00:36:43,006
I-I have a lot of pull,
955
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:45,174
but, uh, influencing
a military dictatorship
956
00:36:45,208 --> 00:36:46,709
isn't as easy
957
00:36:46,743 --> 00:36:48,610
as getting a dinner reservation
at Le Cirque.
958
00:36:48,644 --> 00:36:50,645
You'd influenced
their people before.
959
00:36:50,679 --> 00:36:53,347
Manuel Gutierrez,
A.K.A. El pulpo--
960
00:36:53,382 --> 00:36:54,848
The octopus.
961
00:36:54,883 --> 00:36:56,817
You walked away
with the star player
962
00:36:56,884 --> 00:36:58,885
of the Cuban national team
for a rolex.
963
00:36:58,919 --> 00:37:00,486
We did a little research.
964
00:37:00,521 --> 00:37:04,023
He was the chief witness
at her trial.
965
00:37:04,057 --> 00:37:05,724
Was denouncing
Vega's fianc
966
00:37:05,759 --> 00:37:07,793
always a part of your plan
with el pulpo
967
00:37:07,827 --> 00:37:09,761
or did you have to
pay extra for that?
968
00:37:09,796 --> 00:37:11,896
I've heard
you're a killer negotiator.
969
00:37:11,931 --> 00:37:14,099
You can't possibly
be serious.
970
00:37:14,100 --> 00:37:15,100
When Vega figured out
what you had done,
971
00:37:15,133 --> 00:37:18,201
he called you from his club
and told you to meet him.
972
00:37:18,235 --> 00:37:20,703
I think he came after you
and threatened to destroy you
973
00:37:20,737 --> 00:37:24,205
And that's why you killed him.
It's a hell of a story, kids.
974
00:37:24,240 --> 00:37:27,341
I paid el pulpo to take care
of my player's girl
975
00:37:27,375 --> 00:37:29,843
when the Cuban government is
sending away people every day?
976
00:37:29,877 --> 00:37:32,512
That's a hell of a tale.
977
00:37:32,546 --> 00:37:34,146
It's pure conjecture.
978
00:37:34,181 --> 00:37:35,915
You know
what's not conjecture?
979
00:37:35,949 --> 00:37:37,383
The blood that we found
980
00:37:37,417 --> 00:37:40,485
on the driver's side floor mat
in your car.
981
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:43,156
That was Vega's blood.
As much as you tried to clean
982
00:37:43,190 --> 00:37:45,457
those $5,000 pair of shoes
you were wearing
983
00:37:45,492 --> 00:37:46,926
while you smashed
Vega's skull in,
984
00:37:47,060 --> 00:37:48,428
you didn't
quite get all of it.
985
00:37:54,497 --> 00:37:56,397
Hello, Cynthia.
Call my lawyer.
986
00:37:56,432 --> 00:37:58,366
You tell him
he's about to earn
987
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:01,134
the outrageous, obscene amounts
of money I pay him.
988
00:38:04,271 --> 00:38:06,271
Turn around.
989
00:38:06,305 --> 00:38:07,739
Turn around.
990
00:38:07,773 --> 00:38:12,076
Robert Fox, you're under arrest
for the murder of Cano Vega.
991
00:38:13,612 --> 00:38:15,946
What's gonna happen
to Lara?
992
00:38:15,980 --> 00:38:17,581
She can stay in the states
for a year, and then decide
993
00:38:17,615 --> 00:38:19,649
whether she wants to apply
for citizenship or not.
994
00:38:19,650 --> 00:38:21,450
Oh, I can't imagine
her staying.
995
00:38:21,984 --> 00:38:23,617
Her last bit of family
is gone.
996
00:38:23,652 --> 00:38:26,653
I mean, the only person
that she knew here is dead.
997
00:38:28,288 --> 00:38:29,321
Well, there is
one more person
998
00:38:29,355 --> 00:38:31,789
that she should meet.
999
00:38:36,593 --> 00:38:38,627
So you're Lara?
1000
00:38:38,662 --> 00:38:42,962
She was born in Cuba
right after Mr. Vega defected.
1001
00:38:42,997 --> 00:38:45,264
She's not his girlfriend.
1002
00:38:45,299 --> 00:38:48,034
She's his daughter.
Cano had a daughter?
1003
00:38:48,068 --> 00:38:50,469
My father...
1004
00:38:50,503 --> 00:38:53,271
didn't know how you would like
to have me here.
1005
00:38:53,305 --> 00:38:55,973
He, uh... he had fear
1006
00:38:56,007 --> 00:38:58,208
to tell you about me.
1007
00:39:01,077 --> 00:39:02,011
It's okay.
1008
00:39:02,046 --> 00:39:06,614
Yo s
1009
00:39:06,648 --> 00:39:08,648
Y nunca quiso herirla.
1010
00:39:08,683 --> 00:39:11,517
She says she knows her father
loved you very much,
1011
00:39:11,552 --> 00:39:14,019
and he didn't want
to hurt you.
1012
00:39:14,053 --> 00:39:16,021
Pero yo espero...
1013
00:39:16,055 --> 00:39:18,689
Uh... Al igual que mi pap
1014
00:39:18,723 --> 00:39:20,791
Que juntos podriamos formar
una familia.
1015
00:39:20,825 --> 00:39:23,626
And that she hoped
and he hoped that,
1016
00:39:23,661 --> 00:39:26,428
together,
you could be a family.
1017
00:39:31,266 --> 00:39:33,000
yo soy Maggie.
1018
00:39:34,702 --> 00:39:37,705
Mi casa es su casa.
1019
00:39:40,142 --> 00:39:41,746
Thank you.
1020
00:39:55,542 --> 00:39:57,743
Hey, dad.
1021
00:39:57,778 --> 00:40:00,312
Hey, daughter.
What are you doing up so late?
1022
00:40:00,347 --> 00:40:03,215
Waiting for you.
Did I do something wrong?
1023
00:40:03,249 --> 00:40:05,850
No.
1024
00:40:05,885 --> 00:40:08,419
I was just thinking about
what you said about your dad,
1025
00:40:08,453 --> 00:40:11,755
how he could be anything
you imagine him to be--
1026
00:40:11,789 --> 00:40:13,323
An astronaut or a pirate.
1027
00:40:13,357 --> 00:40:15,625
Whipped cream inventor.
Or whipped cream inventor.
1028
00:40:15,659 --> 00:40:17,793
But there's one thing
he can't be.
1029
00:40:17,828 --> 00:40:20,295
What's that?
A dad.
1030
00:40:20,330 --> 00:40:23,932
Just a regular dad, teaching
his son how to ride a bike
1031
00:40:23,966 --> 00:40:27,234
or helping him with homework
or having a catch.
1032
00:40:27,269 --> 00:40:30,170
It makes me sad you didn't get
to have those things.
1033
00:40:30,205 --> 00:40:32,772
Well... I can't miss
what I didn't have.
1034
00:40:32,807 --> 00:40:34,974
?
1035
00:40:35,009 --> 00:40:37,710
