Castle s06e11 Episode Script
Under Fire
- Jenny? - Kate.
Oh, thank God.
Um, h have you heard from Kevin? No, I haven't.
Have you? No, I've been calling him to test our system and he's not answering, and I'm freaking out a little bit.
Um, do you have any idea where he is? Kate? Kate, are you there? Yeah.
Yeah, I'm here.
What's going on? Where's Kevin? Jenny, I need you to stay calm, okay? Something's happened.
Crime scene at a fire? Never done one of these before.
After this, you might not want to.
Building was being rehabbed, so the place was supposed to be empty.
I guess our victim didn't get that memo.
Do we know who our victim is? Uh, no Oh, oh, oh, oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
It's Jenny.
It's go time.
Hi, Jenny.
Are you having contractions? Are you Oh.
No.
No, it's good to double-check if my phone's working or triple-check.
Okay, all right, sweetie.
Talk to you soon.
False alarm.
- What is she, uh, two days past her due date? - Three.
So, it could happen at any minute.
Can you believe it? Me as a dad.
No, Ryan, you're gonna be great.
You guys pick a name? No, we couldn't agree on one.
So we're waiting to see if it's a boy or a girl, and then decide.
May I suggest "Cosmo"? No, you may not.
And rather than pick a name for my kid, you should pick a date for your wedding.
Pick a date for my wedding? I was planning on bringing her.
Really? When is that? I might have plans.
Oh.
Hey.
I'm Mark Kimball, building and safety.
Do you guys really need to be in here? It's where our crime scene is.
Ah.
Well, don't stay any longer than you have to.
Fire did structural damage.
I need to clear the building.
We should be in and out.
- Okay.
- Thanks.
So, do we know who the victim is? Nope.
Dude had a wallet.
It's burned to a crisp.
Even if he was a dude.
It's even hard to tell that.
I see what you mean.
Actually, he is a dude, which is about all I could tell you right now.
- Is that a bullet hole? - Probably a nine.
So needless to say, this wasn't from natural causes.
Neither was the fire.
This is lieutenant Delia Burton.
She's a fire investigator with F.
D.
N.
Y.
Detective Beckett.
Mr.
Castle.
Nice to meet you.
So this was arson? Well, it's looking that way.
I found miniscule traces of accelerant at the flashpoint.
So the killer set the fire to cover up the murder? Except there's no accelerant on the body.
And the fire's flashpoint is deeper in the building.
You know, normally, when you're disposing of a body, you're gonna make sure it burns.
So maybe our victim surprised the arsonist And the arsonist killed him, silencing him as a witness? That's how it looks to me.
Then again, homicide's not my specialty.
No, uh, but fire is.
Would you mind keeping me in the loop in case you find anything else? Sure.
As soon as I know what happened, so will you.
- Oh, what was that? - The building.
You guys should probably go.
Sounds good.
See ya.
I'm marrying him.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
Uh, why don't we just look into whoever owns this place? See if they know who would've been in here.
Right.
I have no idea who he is.
Wasn't nobody supposed to be in there - on account of the renovation.
- Mm-hmm.
Maybe the guy was a bum or a squatter or something.
But, hey, you know.
Human life, still a tragedy, right? Mr.
Turino, let's talk about why no one was there.
Not even a security guard.
Wasn't your building basically abandoned after you stopped renovations three months ago? Due to a cash flow problem? Who are you again? Just someone who couldn't help but notice your bank required high levels of insurance on that building as a condition of granting you the loan.
So? So a total-loss insurance claim would solve all of your cash flow problems.
Right.
The downside being, you'll go to prison for murder.
Are you kidding me? I wouldn't burn down my own building.
Okay, somebody else must've done it.
Tell me, Mr.
Turino, are you involved in organized crime? I take offense to that.
Just because I'm Italian, I'm in the mob? No, I think you are in the mob because you're a known member of the Maneri crime family, and you also have convictions in racketeering, fraud, assault Yeah, okay.
Okay.
I moved on.
I'm out of the life now.
It was my dream to rehab that building and flip it, retire to Boca.
Now that dream? It's up in smoke.
- Yo, Beckett.
- Yeah? So Art Turino's alibi checks out.
He was at the Pink Palace Gentleman's Club last night stuffing G-strings from 8:00 P.
M.
to 4:00 A.
M.
Yeah, but that doesn't mean he's in the clear.
I mean, Turino wouldn't do this himself.
Well, I'll see if anyone he's been hanging with has any connection to arson.
Okay, I'll grab Castle.
We'll see if Lanie's got anything new on our vic.
Still no I.
D.
, and he's not in any missing person's report.
We get a match on the bullet? It's not in the system, but the cause of death was definitely a G.
S.
W.
to the head.
No smoke in the lungs, so he was already dead before the fire got going.
Whoa.
Beats getting roasted alive.
I'm right there with you.
Also, he was healthy, muscular.
His teeth were in good shape.
So he probably wasn't homeless.
Plus he had great medical care.
How can you tell? He had a fractured leg that was splinted with metal plates and screws.
- Quality work, too.
- Can the plate be traced? I'm already on it.
Was it the left leg? Anterior femur, mid-way down? That's right.
How did you know? I know who he is.
He's a fire investigator named Blake McCann.
He was my partner.
Castle 6x11 - Under Fire Original air date January 6, 2014 Okay.
Got it, Lanie.
So dental records confirm that our victim is Blake McCann.
I'm very sorry.
He was a good man.
Most decent person I ever knew.
Do you know of anyone in his life that would've wanted to hurt him? Just the person who left this.
I found it at the fire scene.
What is it? This pattern is made by accelerant.
From the staining pattern, probably benzoyl peroxide, squeezed from a tube.
Blake found the same pattern in ten other burned buildings.
So it's a signature? Of a serial arsonist.
Blake has been hunting this guy for years.
It's how he spent every spare minute.
In fact, he had just taken some vacation days to work the case.
When I found the symbol, I called him.
He didn't call me back.
I, uh I just had an awful feeling.
Did he know who the arsonist is? Did he have any suspects? Not that he ever told me.
He just called him "The Phantom," because he seemed to be able to slip in and out of buildings without people ever noticing.
Until now, maybe.
Well, that's gotta be it, right? I mean, Blake went in that building because he was after the guy.
And that's who killed him.
It's too soon to know, but it's a place to start.
Now, we're gonna need copies of his case files linked to the arsonist.
Well, he took a bunch of them home with him.
I'll have detectives pick them up.
The rest are at the office.
I'll get them over to you.
Great.
So, I talked to Blake McCann's co-workers, his ex-wife, and if he's got any enemies, I am not finding them.
Leaving us with The Phantom.
Can you please not call him that? It just it sounds silly.
Sillier than the "arsonist"? Which starts with "arse"? At least with "The Phantom" he's got some mystique.
He doesn't deserve mystique.
He's a murderer.
Yeah, but killing is not a part of his usual M.
O.
Until now, all the buildings he torched were empty.
Okay.
All right, so what else do they have in common? Not much.
All the buildings were older, but some were residential, some were office buildings.
There were two in Manhattan and the rest in Brooklyn and in Queens.
Were they insured? A couple of them, but not all of them.
So it probably was not arson-for-hire.
Which means he's doing this for himself.
He's burning these buildings to satisfy an inner need.
And like a serial killer, there's a reason why he chooses the buildings he does.
There's a pattern or something.
- Ooh! - What? Entry from three days ago.
McCann wrote down a name.
Adam Ferguson.
- Clear.
- - Clear.
I'd say someone besides us is interested in Blake McCann.
Yeah, looks like this place was tossed after he was killed.
You thinking what I'm thinking? That the arsonist shot him and then got word McCann left a paper trail.
He came here searching for any files or evidence that would point to him.
Maybe our prep tossed the place because he couldn't find them.
But McCann had no reason to hide those files.
They'd be out on a table, a desk or a nightstand.
Wait.
McCann's car.
It wasn't in the driveway.
Or in the garage.
He probably drove it to that building before he was killed.
It could still be down there.
Yeah, with those files in it.
Here it is.
Adam Ferguson.
And Blake McCann helped put him away on multiple arson counts.
He got out of prison five years ago.
Which, by wild coincidence, is right about the same time those buildings started getting torched.
Not only that, but check this out.
Look at who Blake called on his cell the day before he was killed.
Yeah, Blake McCann called me.
To talk about what? Just a chat between friends.
Where were you last night between 9:00 and 1:00 A.
M.
, Mr.
Ferguson? Why? Because he was murdered by an arsonist he was hunting.
Well, that's a real shame.
An arsonist not unlike yourself.
Matter of fact, one of his final acts was to write down your name.
Not because I killed him.
It must've been The Phantom.
I don't know his real name.
How do you know about him at all? Blake told me.
He called me.
Asked me to meet him in some deli in the Village.
He was all stalled out about catching this Phantom guy.
He asked for my help, and I said I'd give it to him.
Even though he put you in prison? Blake paid me for my time.
Plus, uh, he let me see some photos of the fires.
So we both got something out of the deal.
And what other wisdom did you offer him? Any idiot can slosh gas around and light a match.
But this guy? He knew fire, knew how it spread.
See, buildings are just like people.
There's a weak spot, a soft underbelly.
He would find it, use it, unleash an inferno with barely any accelerant.
That is an artist.
So how did any of this help McCann? I gave him some tips.
I told him he was looking for someone who cases buildings carefully.
Visits them a few times before he strikes.
What else? An artist like The Phantom? He wants to admire his work.
It's not enough that he sets the fire.
He needs to feel the heat.
To listen to the music.
The roar of the flames, the moans of the buildings as they give in that's what he lives for.
Which is why with every fire he sets, he is there watching.
What do you make of his story? The staff at the deli where he said he met with McCann remembers seeing them.
There's no way to really know what they talked about.
McCann could've accused him of being The Phantom.
Maybe he is The Phantom.
We don't have anything that links him to any of the arsons yet, so Dig into his alibi and associates.
See if you can find anything that's solid.
Okay.
You know, one thing about his story that does ring true on a character level is about how the arsonist watches his own fires.
Yeah, well, I've got UNIs canvassing the fire scene and checking into all the security cameras in the area for anyone that was hanging out.
Beckett.
Yo, found McCann's car.
It was parked two blocks from the fire, and there was something inside.
Arson files? No, looks like a couple of files that he put together himself.
One's about the building that he was burned up in.
What's the other one? Give me that.
It's an old shoe factory in Brooklyn on Arcadia Lane.
Looks like it's been empty for five years.
You know, maybe those files were on buildings that McCann thought were being targeted.
He was right about one of them.
Listen, Espo, we believe that the arsonist cases the buildings he burns.
So check that factory, and see if anyone suspicious has been seen inside.
We're on it.
Man, look at this place.
Fire would be an improvement.
Yeah.
Looks like no one's set foot in here in years.
It's pretty creepy.
Hey! Look.
Trust me, bro, your ringer is all the way up.
Just wanted to make sure.
Jenny might call me at any minute.
Pulling your phone out isn't gonna make it happen any sooner.
You just need to chill.
And you know this from your vast experience of having zero kids? All right, you know what? You're all emotional right now.
- So I'm gonna let that go.
- Hmm.
All right.
Let's get back.
There's nothing to see here.
Oh, wait a minute.
Abandoned building with a brand-new lock? N.
Y.
P.
D.
! Anybody here?! All clear.
Clear.
What the hell? Javi, these are blasting caps here.
And accelerants up the wazoo.
Look.
This isn't the arsonist's next target.
It's his workshop.
We must've set off an alarm.
It's not an alarm! Get out.
Get out now! So I checked the security cameras near the fire.
They were disabled.
Disabled how? Someone used a can of spray paint, mounted it on a pole, and blacked out the lenses of both cameras just minutes before the fire.
Well, that must've been the arsonist.
Maybe somebody saw them do it.
Can we canvass the area? And by "we," I mean, obviously, somebody else.
What are you looking for? And don't tell me.
It's something completely inappropriate for the workplace.
No, not this time.
Uh, given that everyone uploads everything to the Internet nowadays, I thought I might see if anyone else out there took a video of that fire, and look.
If the arsonist was watching that fire, he might be in this video.
- Can you turn up the sound? - Yeah.
That doesn't look right.
Seriously? A lot better quality than a security camera.
No, babe, I'm talking about the building.
That fire just started.
Huh.
"Huh," what? Fire department's not even there.
I mean, they're not on their way.
You can't hear the sirens.
So how did the cameraman know there was a fire when nobody else did? And listen to that.
He's not yelling for anyone to call 9-1-1.
He's not saying anything.
Look at the camera work very smooth, steady.
- You you don't think - Yeah.
I do.
This isn't just footage of the fire.
It was shot by the arsonist.
We have to track down whoever posted that video.
Got you.
That won't be so easy.
Usually there's a file embedded in the video with data on the camera, but it's been stripped out.
Can you tell where it was first uploaded? Let me see.
Looks like the video got bounced around the net from site to site, but this is where it started.
Pyrolicious.
com.
Really? Wow.
Okay.
A site that caters to fire fetishists.
I didn't even know there was a fire fetish.
The actual term is "pyrophilia.
" Further proof that the Internet has something for everyone.
I'm not gonna ask how you knew that.
So when did this video show up there? About an hour after the fire was put out.
And who runs this site? It's registered to a Milo Pavlik.
Does he have a record? Oh, yeah.
He burnt down his family house when he was 19.
Where do we find this Milo Pavlik? Milo Pavlik! N.
Y.
P.
D.
, open up! What? Hi, hey.
What are you doing? Where did this video come from? Listen, nothing I do here is illegal.
I I simply provide fire enthusiasts around the globe This fire was set by an arsonist.
Not to mention a murderer.
So who shot this video? Was it you? No.
What? It w it wasn't me.
Then how'd it get up on your site? Sorry, it's a text.
I don't care.
How did it get up on your site? I have a drop-box outside.
People leave stuff.
It was on a U.
S.
B.
drive.
It was quality material, so I uploaded it.
Who dropped it off? I don't know.
I have no idea.
That's very convenient.
Now, did this person ever provide any other material? Oh, yeah.
H he has a real eye, this one.
Sent me a few choice items.
If it really was someone else and they're submitting videos, then he visits the site.
I'm gonna need the names of all of your members along with records of site traffic over the past five years.
Pretty sure you need a warrant for that.
Not if you agree to cooperate which I highly encourage you to do.
Hey, who the hell keeps texting you? It's a news alert.
There's a 3-alarm fire going in Brooklyn.
Where in Brooklyn? Uh, some factory on Arcadia Lane.
Oh, no.
Still no answer.
Not from Ryan or Esposito.
Detective.
Are you sure they're inside? Yeah, they were checking the building in connection with an arson homicide, and they haven't called in yet.
You need to alert your rescue teams.
Detective, the building's fully involved.
I just had to pull out the interior attack teams.
I can't send in a rescue company until it's more contained.
Wait, more contained? If my guys are in there, I need you to bring them out.
If we could get in there, I would.
But there's been a partial collapse inside.
I almost lost six of my guys.
We'll do everything we can, detective, but this building's a firestorm.
Every floor.
If your guys are in there, I'm sorry.
They're probably already gone.
Chief? Fire.
What started it? Shattered windows and structural damage indicate some kind of explosion.
Maybe, um maybe they weren't inside.
Their car's here and they haven't called.
They're inside.
I shouldn't have let them go in.
Not alone.
I should've There's no way you could've known that.
This isn't you.
It's the arsonist.
It's Jenny.
Why would she be calling you? Maybe she's heard from them.
Maybe she knows that they're safe.
Jenny? Kate.
Oh, thank God.
Um, h have you heard from Kevin? No, I haven't.
Have you? No.
I've been calling him to test our system, and he's not answering.
And I'm I'm freaking out a little bit.
Um do you have any idea where he is? Kate? Kate, are you there? Yeah.
Yeah, I'm here.
What's going on? Where's Kevin? Jenny, I need you to stay calm, okay? Something's happened.
And as firefighters struggle to bring the blaze under control, we now have unconfirmed reports that two N.
Y.
P.
D.
detectives were inside the building at the time of the explosion.
We'll be bringing you live updates as the news comes in.
Sir, is it true? We don't know.
What we do know is that detectives Ryan and Esposito were investigating that building for ties to a serial arsonist.
And it's possible that the explosion in that building was deliberately set by that same arsonist a man suspected in ten other fires, as well as the murder of a member of the New York Fire Department.
And if it is true, then this sick son of a bitch has just added two of our own to his list.
On your desk, you will find copies of all the files we have on each one of these arsons.
Somewhere in there, there is a trail.
Somewhere in there, there is a clue as to who he is.
And he needs to be brought to account.
Ryan! Ryan! Kevin! Kevin, is that you? You all right? Yeah, yeah.
Aah, I can't move.
My legs are stuck.
It's too heavy! Oh It's an oven in here.
You should get out, man.
Not without you, partner.
Last thing I remember is the floor giving way.
How far do you think we fell? At least two floors.
Ah, must've rigged this place Probably to destroy any evidence in case it was found.
Yeah, including us.
Not if I can help it.
- You ready? - Yeah.
All right, here we go.
They're smart.
They're survivors.
If there's a safe place inside that building, they may have found it.
They may still be alive.
Yeah, but for how long? The two folders in McCann's car he knew that this building was next.
How? Somehow, he must've figured out the arsonist's pattern.
Which means there is a pattern.
And if he figured it out, so can we.
Move back! Everybody back! Move back! What's going on? This building's gone.
We have to move to a defensive attack.
The other structures are in danger.
You're just giving up? No, our teams just went through the other buildings.
They're tinderboxes.
If we don't hold the line, we could lose the whole block.
Kate.
That ceiling's gonna give way at any minute.
You need to get out of here, okay? Shut up.
I'm trying to save your life.
Here we go.
There.
Hold on.
Yeah.
- Ready? - Yeah.
Aah! Go, go, go, go, go, go! I'm okay! I'm okay! - Can you walk? - I don't know.
Give me a hand.
I'm okay.
Come on.
How's it feel? I can stand.
Where are we? Looks like some kind of sub-basement.
I don't see any doors.
Look.
Looks like that was our way out.
Yeah, I don't think we wanted to go up anyway.
We're not gonna get out without help.
My phone's busted from the fall.
How about you? Uh yeah, I got nothing.
All right, well, as big as this thing is, fire department's gotta be out there.
They gotta be on scene.
Yeah.
We should let them know that we're down here.
Yeah.
Yo! Anybody hear us?! Down here! Anybody up there?! Hey! We're down here! Hey! Down here! Fire's too loud.
They can't hear us.
I got an idea.
- Maybe the sound will carry up.
- Yeah.
- Let 'em know we're down here.
- Yeah.
Down here! Hey! Hey! Hey! Down here, anybody! Hey! Come on! Hey! - Hey! - Down here! Hey! Hey! Hey! Stop! What? They can't hear us.
We can't just quit, man.
Gotta save our strength.
For what? Nobody knows we're down here.
It's only a matter of time before the fire sucks all the oxygen out of the room.
Gotta be some way outta here, some other way of letting them know that we're down here.
Yeah? Like what? I don't know.
Somethin'.
Yeah.
Well, unless you have an oxygen tank, a pair of wings, and a Nomex suit we're gonna cook.
Yeah.
Maybe not.
What do you mean they're pulling back? According to the I.
C.
, the building is structurally compromised and they can't get their men in.
At this point, they don't feel that it's a rescue operation anymore.
It's a recovery.
Okay, detective.
Let me know if you hear anything more.
Yes, sir.
Anything? No, according to McCann's file, the building was condemned, but there's nothing here to indicate why it was the next target.
Beckett! She was at the police barricades.
Jenny, you shouldn't be here.
The hell I shouldn't.
My husband's in there.
What's what's going on? She's having contractions.
You're in labor? How far apart? Five minutes, maybe.
Whoa, no.
She can't we gotta get you to a hospital.
Medic, over here.
This woman's in labor.
No.
I'm not I'm not leaving.
Not without Kevin.
Jenny, there's nothing you can do here.
He's inside, Kate.
And if he doesn't make it out, if this is it I need to be here.
Let me at least get you inside of an ambulance.
You need to lie down so we can make sure that everything is okay.
Okay, but I'm not leaving without him.
Okay.
I can't believe this is happening.
This is like some kind of a dream.
I just keep waiting to wake up, but it's like I can't do anything.
It's like there's nothing we can do.
All we can do is be here for them.
Beckett.
Hello? Beckett? Beckett? Beckett, can you hear me? Beckett? Beckett? Can you hear me, Beckett? Ryan? Ryan, is that you? Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's me, Beckett! Listen, uh That building that that we went into uh, it wasn't just the next arson target.
It it was his lair.
He rigged it to blow, and now we're trapped inside.
The whole place is in flames.
Yes, I know, Ryan.
We're right outside.
We've got the whole fire department here.
We thought you guys were dead.
Well, we will be soon if we don't get some help.
Exactly where in the building are you? Some kind of sub-basement mechanical room about 20 feet down from the main floor.
There's no windows, no doors.
- Well, this doesn't make any sense.
- Why? Well, according to these plans, this building has a slab foundation.
There is no basement area.
Well, I don't know what to tell you, pal.
We're in some kinda basement.
So there's something wrong with your freakin' plans.
They're alive? Yeah, but they're in an unmapped portion of the building, a sub-basement.
The the fire crews can't get to them.
We need to find them another way out of that room.
What makes you think there's another way out? The arsonist set the explosives to go off to eradicate all evidence if he was ever found.
But what if someone discovered him while he was still in the building? He'd need a way out.
That could be the reason that sub-basement isn't on the building plans.
I think the arsonist doctored those plans.
What makes you think that? Ryan said when they found the workspace, it was right next to an open air shaft.
That air shaft ran all the way down to the sub-basement.
You think it's an escape route? If the cops were to raid this place, and they're covering the front and the back of the building, where's he gonna go? To the one room that isn't on their plans.
Then he blows the place, and everyone thinks he's been killed.
What better way to cover his tracks than disappear in a fire.
But it only works if there's another way out of that room.
And the only one to know that - would be our arsonist.
- We need to find him.
Sir? I've got something.
I went back through the Pyrolicious web site.
Six of their videos are of fires attributed to our arsonist.
Each was uploaded to the site shortly after the buildings burned.
But here's the interesting part.
One web site member logged in and viewed each of these videos just minutes after they were posted.
But only these videos.
That's him.
He's checking out his work.
What's this member's name? I don't have his real name.
Just a user name firebug447.
- Who is he? - I don't know.
The man has an account on your web site.
You charge your users.
How can you not know? He paid with a cashier's check back when I was offering a lifetime membership.
He mailed it in.
- You're lying.
- I swear! I only know his user name firebug447.
You listen to me.
I've got two officers about to burn.
Now, if you know anything about this man, you are gonna tell me, or I will bury you as an accessory to murder.
We chat sometimes over I.
M.
What would he say? We talk about fire, how buildings burn.
Did he say anything that could help us identify who he is? No.
I'd sometimes ask.
But he was careful.
He did once say why he did it.
He said he couldn't deal with the suffering, that sometimes sick and dying buildings need to burn to be put out of their misery.
And you're sure you don't see another way out? If there is, it's covered by debris.
Any idea where that way out might be? Castle's on the phone with the building department.
He's trying to get ahold of the original blueprints.
We're assuming there even is a way out.
We're giving this guy more credit than he deserves.
We're both getting sleepy.
Carbon monoxide's building up.
Ryan, you listen to me.
You need to hang on, okay? They're coming for you.
I appreciate the pep talk, but we both know the fire's too hot.
They don't know where to look.
No.
Ryan We're gonna lose the phone soon, Beckett, so there's something I need you to do.
Jenny.
What? What is it? It's him.
It's Kevin? Is it you? It's really you? Yeah.
Yeah, it's me, beautiful.
Oh, thank God.
Where are you? The baby's coming.
I'm inside.
Inside Uh I'm sorry.
I know I promised, but I'm not gonna be there.
Don't say that.
Please, don't say that.
Sorry.
I love you more than anything.
Remember that.
Always remember that.
Kevin, please.
No, don't leave me.
I don't wanna.
We need a name.
For the baby.
We need to do that together.
If it's a boy Javier.
And if it's a girl? Sarah Grace, after your grandmother.
I love you so much, Kevin.
I love you.
I love you, too Kevin? Kevin? Kevin? "Javier"? You're gonna name a white Irish kid "Javier"? What? You're gonna bust on me now for being sentimental? I figure it's my last chance.
No.
No, no.
We're getting out of here.
There's a way out, and we're gonna find it.
I'm not leaving Jenny.
I'm not leaving my baby without a dad.
All right? Hey, hey! Javi No, no, no, Javi.
No, no, no! Don't you dare fall asleep on me! Don't you dare, Javi! Javi?! I don't wanna do this, Lanie.
Not without him.
- I know, baby.
- Ooh.
- I know, I'm here.
I'm here.
- Mm.
Contractions are two minutes apart.
It's coming.
And we'll do it here.
Together.
Okay? Detective.
We may have caught a break.
According to Milo Pavlik, our arsonist picked his targets because the buildings were "sick and dying," and "needed to be put out of their misery.
" So, I went back through the files, all of the building inspector reports, and he was right.
Each of the targeted buildings had issues structural defects, wiring problems, rot.
Okay, but how did our guy know that? He didn't just case the buildings.
He spent time inside.
I think that's what Blake discovered, how he got on to this place.
Do you have those files that Ryan and Esposito found? Yeah, right here.
The building inspection reports who signed them? Uh, "Mark Kimball.
" All of these files, each one, they have one thing in common the building inspector was Mark Kimball.
That's how he got inside the buildings, operated without being seen.
It was his job.
Which means he had access to the building department.
That's how he was able to change building plans without anyone knowing.
If he's the arsonist, we have to find him.
Oh, God.
He's here.
Kimball! Don't move.
The basement! Is there a way out? Is there? I don't know what you're talking about.
The hell you don't! Is there a way out? Those guys in there they are my friends.
If they die, you die.
What's it gonna be? It's your choice.
Check the other one.
Rescue seven, status? Rescue seven, do you have them? Rescue seven, are they alive? There.
Espo.
Espo.
You scared us, buddy.
You scared us.
Ryan, hey! You smell great.
Where's Jenny? Kevin! You're alive.
Javi! Thank God.
Oh.
You're both beautiful.
Kevin I'd like you to meet Sarah Grace.
Oh, thank God.
Um, h have you heard from Kevin? No, I haven't.
Have you? No, I've been calling him to test our system and he's not answering, and I'm freaking out a little bit.
Um, do you have any idea where he is? Kate? Kate, are you there? Yeah.
Yeah, I'm here.
What's going on? Where's Kevin? Jenny, I need you to stay calm, okay? Something's happened.
Crime scene at a fire? Never done one of these before.
After this, you might not want to.
Building was being rehabbed, so the place was supposed to be empty.
I guess our victim didn't get that memo.
Do we know who our victim is? Uh, no Oh, oh, oh, oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
It's Jenny.
It's go time.
Hi, Jenny.
Are you having contractions? Are you Oh.
No.
No, it's good to double-check if my phone's working or triple-check.
Okay, all right, sweetie.
Talk to you soon.
False alarm.
- What is she, uh, two days past her due date? - Three.
So, it could happen at any minute.
Can you believe it? Me as a dad.
No, Ryan, you're gonna be great.
You guys pick a name? No, we couldn't agree on one.
So we're waiting to see if it's a boy or a girl, and then decide.
May I suggest "Cosmo"? No, you may not.
And rather than pick a name for my kid, you should pick a date for your wedding.
Pick a date for my wedding? I was planning on bringing her.
Really? When is that? I might have plans.
Oh.
Hey.
I'm Mark Kimball, building and safety.
Do you guys really need to be in here? It's where our crime scene is.
Ah.
Well, don't stay any longer than you have to.
Fire did structural damage.
I need to clear the building.
We should be in and out.
- Okay.
- Thanks.
So, do we know who the victim is? Nope.
Dude had a wallet.
It's burned to a crisp.
Even if he was a dude.
It's even hard to tell that.
I see what you mean.
Actually, he is a dude, which is about all I could tell you right now.
- Is that a bullet hole? - Probably a nine.
So needless to say, this wasn't from natural causes.
Neither was the fire.
This is lieutenant Delia Burton.
She's a fire investigator with F.
D.
N.
Y.
Detective Beckett.
Mr.
Castle.
Nice to meet you.
So this was arson? Well, it's looking that way.
I found miniscule traces of accelerant at the flashpoint.
So the killer set the fire to cover up the murder? Except there's no accelerant on the body.
And the fire's flashpoint is deeper in the building.
You know, normally, when you're disposing of a body, you're gonna make sure it burns.
So maybe our victim surprised the arsonist And the arsonist killed him, silencing him as a witness? That's how it looks to me.
Then again, homicide's not my specialty.
No, uh, but fire is.
Would you mind keeping me in the loop in case you find anything else? Sure.
As soon as I know what happened, so will you.
- Oh, what was that? - The building.
You guys should probably go.
Sounds good.
See ya.
I'm marrying him.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
Uh, why don't we just look into whoever owns this place? See if they know who would've been in here.
Right.
I have no idea who he is.
Wasn't nobody supposed to be in there - on account of the renovation.
- Mm-hmm.
Maybe the guy was a bum or a squatter or something.
But, hey, you know.
Human life, still a tragedy, right? Mr.
Turino, let's talk about why no one was there.
Not even a security guard.
Wasn't your building basically abandoned after you stopped renovations three months ago? Due to a cash flow problem? Who are you again? Just someone who couldn't help but notice your bank required high levels of insurance on that building as a condition of granting you the loan.
So? So a total-loss insurance claim would solve all of your cash flow problems.
Right.
The downside being, you'll go to prison for murder.
Are you kidding me? I wouldn't burn down my own building.
Okay, somebody else must've done it.
Tell me, Mr.
Turino, are you involved in organized crime? I take offense to that.
Just because I'm Italian, I'm in the mob? No, I think you are in the mob because you're a known member of the Maneri crime family, and you also have convictions in racketeering, fraud, assault Yeah, okay.
Okay.
I moved on.
I'm out of the life now.
It was my dream to rehab that building and flip it, retire to Boca.
Now that dream? It's up in smoke.
- Yo, Beckett.
- Yeah? So Art Turino's alibi checks out.
He was at the Pink Palace Gentleman's Club last night stuffing G-strings from 8:00 P.
M.
to 4:00 A.
M.
Yeah, but that doesn't mean he's in the clear.
I mean, Turino wouldn't do this himself.
Well, I'll see if anyone he's been hanging with has any connection to arson.
Okay, I'll grab Castle.
We'll see if Lanie's got anything new on our vic.
Still no I.
D.
, and he's not in any missing person's report.
We get a match on the bullet? It's not in the system, but the cause of death was definitely a G.
S.
W.
to the head.
No smoke in the lungs, so he was already dead before the fire got going.
Whoa.
Beats getting roasted alive.
I'm right there with you.
Also, he was healthy, muscular.
His teeth were in good shape.
So he probably wasn't homeless.
Plus he had great medical care.
How can you tell? He had a fractured leg that was splinted with metal plates and screws.
- Quality work, too.
- Can the plate be traced? I'm already on it.
Was it the left leg? Anterior femur, mid-way down? That's right.
How did you know? I know who he is.
He's a fire investigator named Blake McCann.
He was my partner.
Castle 6x11 - Under Fire Original air date January 6, 2014 Okay.
Got it, Lanie.
So dental records confirm that our victim is Blake McCann.
I'm very sorry.
He was a good man.
Most decent person I ever knew.
Do you know of anyone in his life that would've wanted to hurt him? Just the person who left this.
I found it at the fire scene.
What is it? This pattern is made by accelerant.
From the staining pattern, probably benzoyl peroxide, squeezed from a tube.
Blake found the same pattern in ten other burned buildings.
So it's a signature? Of a serial arsonist.
Blake has been hunting this guy for years.
It's how he spent every spare minute.
In fact, he had just taken some vacation days to work the case.
When I found the symbol, I called him.
He didn't call me back.
I, uh I just had an awful feeling.
Did he know who the arsonist is? Did he have any suspects? Not that he ever told me.
He just called him "The Phantom," because he seemed to be able to slip in and out of buildings without people ever noticing.
Until now, maybe.
Well, that's gotta be it, right? I mean, Blake went in that building because he was after the guy.
And that's who killed him.
It's too soon to know, but it's a place to start.
Now, we're gonna need copies of his case files linked to the arsonist.
Well, he took a bunch of them home with him.
I'll have detectives pick them up.
The rest are at the office.
I'll get them over to you.
Great.
So, I talked to Blake McCann's co-workers, his ex-wife, and if he's got any enemies, I am not finding them.
Leaving us with The Phantom.
Can you please not call him that? It just it sounds silly.
Sillier than the "arsonist"? Which starts with "arse"? At least with "The Phantom" he's got some mystique.
He doesn't deserve mystique.
He's a murderer.
Yeah, but killing is not a part of his usual M.
O.
Until now, all the buildings he torched were empty.
Okay.
All right, so what else do they have in common? Not much.
All the buildings were older, but some were residential, some were office buildings.
There were two in Manhattan and the rest in Brooklyn and in Queens.
Were they insured? A couple of them, but not all of them.
So it probably was not arson-for-hire.
Which means he's doing this for himself.
He's burning these buildings to satisfy an inner need.
And like a serial killer, there's a reason why he chooses the buildings he does.
There's a pattern or something.
- Ooh! - What? Entry from three days ago.
McCann wrote down a name.
Adam Ferguson.
- Clear.
- - Clear.
I'd say someone besides us is interested in Blake McCann.
Yeah, looks like this place was tossed after he was killed.
You thinking what I'm thinking? That the arsonist shot him and then got word McCann left a paper trail.
He came here searching for any files or evidence that would point to him.
Maybe our prep tossed the place because he couldn't find them.
But McCann had no reason to hide those files.
They'd be out on a table, a desk or a nightstand.
Wait.
McCann's car.
It wasn't in the driveway.
Or in the garage.
He probably drove it to that building before he was killed.
It could still be down there.
Yeah, with those files in it.
Here it is.
Adam Ferguson.
And Blake McCann helped put him away on multiple arson counts.
He got out of prison five years ago.
Which, by wild coincidence, is right about the same time those buildings started getting torched.
Not only that, but check this out.
Look at who Blake called on his cell the day before he was killed.
Yeah, Blake McCann called me.
To talk about what? Just a chat between friends.
Where were you last night between 9:00 and 1:00 A.
M.
, Mr.
Ferguson? Why? Because he was murdered by an arsonist he was hunting.
Well, that's a real shame.
An arsonist not unlike yourself.
Matter of fact, one of his final acts was to write down your name.
Not because I killed him.
It must've been The Phantom.
I don't know his real name.
How do you know about him at all? Blake told me.
He called me.
Asked me to meet him in some deli in the Village.
He was all stalled out about catching this Phantom guy.
He asked for my help, and I said I'd give it to him.
Even though he put you in prison? Blake paid me for my time.
Plus, uh, he let me see some photos of the fires.
So we both got something out of the deal.
And what other wisdom did you offer him? Any idiot can slosh gas around and light a match.
But this guy? He knew fire, knew how it spread.
See, buildings are just like people.
There's a weak spot, a soft underbelly.
He would find it, use it, unleash an inferno with barely any accelerant.
That is an artist.
So how did any of this help McCann? I gave him some tips.
I told him he was looking for someone who cases buildings carefully.
Visits them a few times before he strikes.
What else? An artist like The Phantom? He wants to admire his work.
It's not enough that he sets the fire.
He needs to feel the heat.
To listen to the music.
The roar of the flames, the moans of the buildings as they give in that's what he lives for.
Which is why with every fire he sets, he is there watching.
What do you make of his story? The staff at the deli where he said he met with McCann remembers seeing them.
There's no way to really know what they talked about.
McCann could've accused him of being The Phantom.
Maybe he is The Phantom.
We don't have anything that links him to any of the arsons yet, so Dig into his alibi and associates.
See if you can find anything that's solid.
Okay.
You know, one thing about his story that does ring true on a character level is about how the arsonist watches his own fires.
Yeah, well, I've got UNIs canvassing the fire scene and checking into all the security cameras in the area for anyone that was hanging out.
Beckett.
Yo, found McCann's car.
It was parked two blocks from the fire, and there was something inside.
Arson files? No, looks like a couple of files that he put together himself.
One's about the building that he was burned up in.
What's the other one? Give me that.
It's an old shoe factory in Brooklyn on Arcadia Lane.
Looks like it's been empty for five years.
You know, maybe those files were on buildings that McCann thought were being targeted.
He was right about one of them.
Listen, Espo, we believe that the arsonist cases the buildings he burns.
So check that factory, and see if anyone suspicious has been seen inside.
We're on it.
Man, look at this place.
Fire would be an improvement.
Yeah.
Looks like no one's set foot in here in years.
It's pretty creepy.
Hey! Look.
Trust me, bro, your ringer is all the way up.
Just wanted to make sure.
Jenny might call me at any minute.
Pulling your phone out isn't gonna make it happen any sooner.
You just need to chill.
And you know this from your vast experience of having zero kids? All right, you know what? You're all emotional right now.
- So I'm gonna let that go.
- Hmm.
All right.
Let's get back.
There's nothing to see here.
Oh, wait a minute.
Abandoned building with a brand-new lock? N.
Y.
P.
D.
! Anybody here?! All clear.
Clear.
What the hell? Javi, these are blasting caps here.
And accelerants up the wazoo.
Look.
This isn't the arsonist's next target.
It's his workshop.
We must've set off an alarm.
It's not an alarm! Get out.
Get out now! So I checked the security cameras near the fire.
They were disabled.
Disabled how? Someone used a can of spray paint, mounted it on a pole, and blacked out the lenses of both cameras just minutes before the fire.
Well, that must've been the arsonist.
Maybe somebody saw them do it.
Can we canvass the area? And by "we," I mean, obviously, somebody else.
What are you looking for? And don't tell me.
It's something completely inappropriate for the workplace.
No, not this time.
Uh, given that everyone uploads everything to the Internet nowadays, I thought I might see if anyone else out there took a video of that fire, and look.
If the arsonist was watching that fire, he might be in this video.
- Can you turn up the sound? - Yeah.
That doesn't look right.
Seriously? A lot better quality than a security camera.
No, babe, I'm talking about the building.
That fire just started.
Huh.
"Huh," what? Fire department's not even there.
I mean, they're not on their way.
You can't hear the sirens.
So how did the cameraman know there was a fire when nobody else did? And listen to that.
He's not yelling for anyone to call 9-1-1.
He's not saying anything.
Look at the camera work very smooth, steady.
- You you don't think - Yeah.
I do.
This isn't just footage of the fire.
It was shot by the arsonist.
We have to track down whoever posted that video.
Got you.
That won't be so easy.
Usually there's a file embedded in the video with data on the camera, but it's been stripped out.
Can you tell where it was first uploaded? Let me see.
Looks like the video got bounced around the net from site to site, but this is where it started.
Pyrolicious.
com.
Really? Wow.
Okay.
A site that caters to fire fetishists.
I didn't even know there was a fire fetish.
The actual term is "pyrophilia.
" Further proof that the Internet has something for everyone.
I'm not gonna ask how you knew that.
So when did this video show up there? About an hour after the fire was put out.
And who runs this site? It's registered to a Milo Pavlik.
Does he have a record? Oh, yeah.
He burnt down his family house when he was 19.
Where do we find this Milo Pavlik? Milo Pavlik! N.
Y.
P.
D.
, open up! What? Hi, hey.
What are you doing? Where did this video come from? Listen, nothing I do here is illegal.
I I simply provide fire enthusiasts around the globe This fire was set by an arsonist.
Not to mention a murderer.
So who shot this video? Was it you? No.
What? It w it wasn't me.
Then how'd it get up on your site? Sorry, it's a text.
I don't care.
How did it get up on your site? I have a drop-box outside.
People leave stuff.
It was on a U.
S.
B.
drive.
It was quality material, so I uploaded it.
Who dropped it off? I don't know.
I have no idea.
That's very convenient.
Now, did this person ever provide any other material? Oh, yeah.
H he has a real eye, this one.
Sent me a few choice items.
If it really was someone else and they're submitting videos, then he visits the site.
I'm gonna need the names of all of your members along with records of site traffic over the past five years.
Pretty sure you need a warrant for that.
Not if you agree to cooperate which I highly encourage you to do.
Hey, who the hell keeps texting you? It's a news alert.
There's a 3-alarm fire going in Brooklyn.
Where in Brooklyn? Uh, some factory on Arcadia Lane.
Oh, no.
Still no answer.
Not from Ryan or Esposito.
Detective.
Are you sure they're inside? Yeah, they were checking the building in connection with an arson homicide, and they haven't called in yet.
You need to alert your rescue teams.
Detective, the building's fully involved.
I just had to pull out the interior attack teams.
I can't send in a rescue company until it's more contained.
Wait, more contained? If my guys are in there, I need you to bring them out.
If we could get in there, I would.
But there's been a partial collapse inside.
I almost lost six of my guys.
We'll do everything we can, detective, but this building's a firestorm.
Every floor.
If your guys are in there, I'm sorry.
They're probably already gone.
Chief? Fire.
What started it? Shattered windows and structural damage indicate some kind of explosion.
Maybe, um maybe they weren't inside.
Their car's here and they haven't called.
They're inside.
I shouldn't have let them go in.
Not alone.
I should've There's no way you could've known that.
This isn't you.
It's the arsonist.
It's Jenny.
Why would she be calling you? Maybe she's heard from them.
Maybe she knows that they're safe.
Jenny? Kate.
Oh, thank God.
Um, h have you heard from Kevin? No, I haven't.
Have you? No.
I've been calling him to test our system, and he's not answering.
And I'm I'm freaking out a little bit.
Um do you have any idea where he is? Kate? Kate, are you there? Yeah.
Yeah, I'm here.
What's going on? Where's Kevin? Jenny, I need you to stay calm, okay? Something's happened.
And as firefighters struggle to bring the blaze under control, we now have unconfirmed reports that two N.
Y.
P.
D.
detectives were inside the building at the time of the explosion.
We'll be bringing you live updates as the news comes in.
Sir, is it true? We don't know.
What we do know is that detectives Ryan and Esposito were investigating that building for ties to a serial arsonist.
And it's possible that the explosion in that building was deliberately set by that same arsonist a man suspected in ten other fires, as well as the murder of a member of the New York Fire Department.
And if it is true, then this sick son of a bitch has just added two of our own to his list.
On your desk, you will find copies of all the files we have on each one of these arsons.
Somewhere in there, there is a trail.
Somewhere in there, there is a clue as to who he is.
And he needs to be brought to account.
Ryan! Ryan! Kevin! Kevin, is that you? You all right? Yeah, yeah.
Aah, I can't move.
My legs are stuck.
It's too heavy! Oh It's an oven in here.
You should get out, man.
Not without you, partner.
Last thing I remember is the floor giving way.
How far do you think we fell? At least two floors.
Ah, must've rigged this place Probably to destroy any evidence in case it was found.
Yeah, including us.
Not if I can help it.
- You ready? - Yeah.
All right, here we go.
They're smart.
They're survivors.
If there's a safe place inside that building, they may have found it.
They may still be alive.
Yeah, but for how long? The two folders in McCann's car he knew that this building was next.
How? Somehow, he must've figured out the arsonist's pattern.
Which means there is a pattern.
And if he figured it out, so can we.
Move back! Everybody back! Move back! What's going on? This building's gone.
We have to move to a defensive attack.
The other structures are in danger.
You're just giving up? No, our teams just went through the other buildings.
They're tinderboxes.
If we don't hold the line, we could lose the whole block.
Kate.
That ceiling's gonna give way at any minute.
You need to get out of here, okay? Shut up.
I'm trying to save your life.
Here we go.
There.
Hold on.
Yeah.
- Ready? - Yeah.
Aah! Go, go, go, go, go, go! I'm okay! I'm okay! - Can you walk? - I don't know.
Give me a hand.
I'm okay.
Come on.
How's it feel? I can stand.
Where are we? Looks like some kind of sub-basement.
I don't see any doors.
Look.
Looks like that was our way out.
Yeah, I don't think we wanted to go up anyway.
We're not gonna get out without help.
My phone's busted from the fall.
How about you? Uh yeah, I got nothing.
All right, well, as big as this thing is, fire department's gotta be out there.
They gotta be on scene.
Yeah.
We should let them know that we're down here.
Yeah.
Yo! Anybody hear us?! Down here! Anybody up there?! Hey! We're down here! Hey! Down here! Fire's too loud.
They can't hear us.
I got an idea.
- Maybe the sound will carry up.
- Yeah.
- Let 'em know we're down here.
- Yeah.
Down here! Hey! Hey! Hey! Down here, anybody! Hey! Come on! Hey! - Hey! - Down here! Hey! Hey! Hey! Stop! What? They can't hear us.
We can't just quit, man.
Gotta save our strength.
For what? Nobody knows we're down here.
It's only a matter of time before the fire sucks all the oxygen out of the room.
Gotta be some way outta here, some other way of letting them know that we're down here.
Yeah? Like what? I don't know.
Somethin'.
Yeah.
Well, unless you have an oxygen tank, a pair of wings, and a Nomex suit we're gonna cook.
Yeah.
Maybe not.
What do you mean they're pulling back? According to the I.
C.
, the building is structurally compromised and they can't get their men in.
At this point, they don't feel that it's a rescue operation anymore.
It's a recovery.
Okay, detective.
Let me know if you hear anything more.
Yes, sir.
Anything? No, according to McCann's file, the building was condemned, but there's nothing here to indicate why it was the next target.
Beckett! She was at the police barricades.
Jenny, you shouldn't be here.
The hell I shouldn't.
My husband's in there.
What's what's going on? She's having contractions.
You're in labor? How far apart? Five minutes, maybe.
Whoa, no.
She can't we gotta get you to a hospital.
Medic, over here.
This woman's in labor.
No.
I'm not I'm not leaving.
Not without Kevin.
Jenny, there's nothing you can do here.
He's inside, Kate.
And if he doesn't make it out, if this is it I need to be here.
Let me at least get you inside of an ambulance.
You need to lie down so we can make sure that everything is okay.
Okay, but I'm not leaving without him.
Okay.
I can't believe this is happening.
This is like some kind of a dream.
I just keep waiting to wake up, but it's like I can't do anything.
It's like there's nothing we can do.
All we can do is be here for them.
Beckett.
Hello? Beckett? Beckett? Beckett, can you hear me? Beckett? Beckett? Can you hear me, Beckett? Ryan? Ryan, is that you? Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's me, Beckett! Listen, uh That building that that we went into uh, it wasn't just the next arson target.
It it was his lair.
He rigged it to blow, and now we're trapped inside.
The whole place is in flames.
Yes, I know, Ryan.
We're right outside.
We've got the whole fire department here.
We thought you guys were dead.
Well, we will be soon if we don't get some help.
Exactly where in the building are you? Some kind of sub-basement mechanical room about 20 feet down from the main floor.
There's no windows, no doors.
- Well, this doesn't make any sense.
- Why? Well, according to these plans, this building has a slab foundation.
There is no basement area.
Well, I don't know what to tell you, pal.
We're in some kinda basement.
So there's something wrong with your freakin' plans.
They're alive? Yeah, but they're in an unmapped portion of the building, a sub-basement.
The the fire crews can't get to them.
We need to find them another way out of that room.
What makes you think there's another way out? The arsonist set the explosives to go off to eradicate all evidence if he was ever found.
But what if someone discovered him while he was still in the building? He'd need a way out.
That could be the reason that sub-basement isn't on the building plans.
I think the arsonist doctored those plans.
What makes you think that? Ryan said when they found the workspace, it was right next to an open air shaft.
That air shaft ran all the way down to the sub-basement.
You think it's an escape route? If the cops were to raid this place, and they're covering the front and the back of the building, where's he gonna go? To the one room that isn't on their plans.
Then he blows the place, and everyone thinks he's been killed.
What better way to cover his tracks than disappear in a fire.
But it only works if there's another way out of that room.
And the only one to know that - would be our arsonist.
- We need to find him.
Sir? I've got something.
I went back through the Pyrolicious web site.
Six of their videos are of fires attributed to our arsonist.
Each was uploaded to the site shortly after the buildings burned.
But here's the interesting part.
One web site member logged in and viewed each of these videos just minutes after they were posted.
But only these videos.
That's him.
He's checking out his work.
What's this member's name? I don't have his real name.
Just a user name firebug447.
- Who is he? - I don't know.
The man has an account on your web site.
You charge your users.
How can you not know? He paid with a cashier's check back when I was offering a lifetime membership.
He mailed it in.
- You're lying.
- I swear! I only know his user name firebug447.
You listen to me.
I've got two officers about to burn.
Now, if you know anything about this man, you are gonna tell me, or I will bury you as an accessory to murder.
We chat sometimes over I.
M.
What would he say? We talk about fire, how buildings burn.
Did he say anything that could help us identify who he is? No.
I'd sometimes ask.
But he was careful.
He did once say why he did it.
He said he couldn't deal with the suffering, that sometimes sick and dying buildings need to burn to be put out of their misery.
And you're sure you don't see another way out? If there is, it's covered by debris.
Any idea where that way out might be? Castle's on the phone with the building department.
He's trying to get ahold of the original blueprints.
We're assuming there even is a way out.
We're giving this guy more credit than he deserves.
We're both getting sleepy.
Carbon monoxide's building up.
Ryan, you listen to me.
You need to hang on, okay? They're coming for you.
I appreciate the pep talk, but we both know the fire's too hot.
They don't know where to look.
No.
Ryan We're gonna lose the phone soon, Beckett, so there's something I need you to do.
Jenny.
What? What is it? It's him.
It's Kevin? Is it you? It's really you? Yeah.
Yeah, it's me, beautiful.
Oh, thank God.
Where are you? The baby's coming.
I'm inside.
Inside Uh I'm sorry.
I know I promised, but I'm not gonna be there.
Don't say that.
Please, don't say that.
Sorry.
I love you more than anything.
Remember that.
Always remember that.
Kevin, please.
No, don't leave me.
I don't wanna.
We need a name.
For the baby.
We need to do that together.
If it's a boy Javier.
And if it's a girl? Sarah Grace, after your grandmother.
I love you so much, Kevin.
I love you.
I love you, too Kevin? Kevin? Kevin? "Javier"? You're gonna name a white Irish kid "Javier"? What? You're gonna bust on me now for being sentimental? I figure it's my last chance.
No.
No, no.
We're getting out of here.
There's a way out, and we're gonna find it.
I'm not leaving Jenny.
I'm not leaving my baby without a dad.
All right? Hey, hey! Javi No, no, no, Javi.
No, no, no! Don't you dare fall asleep on me! Don't you dare, Javi! Javi?! I don't wanna do this, Lanie.
Not without him.
- I know, baby.
- Ooh.
- I know, I'm here.
I'm here.
- Mm.
Contractions are two minutes apart.
It's coming.
And we'll do it here.
Together.
Okay? Detective.
We may have caught a break.
According to Milo Pavlik, our arsonist picked his targets because the buildings were "sick and dying," and "needed to be put out of their misery.
" So, I went back through the files, all of the building inspector reports, and he was right.
Each of the targeted buildings had issues structural defects, wiring problems, rot.
Okay, but how did our guy know that? He didn't just case the buildings.
He spent time inside.
I think that's what Blake discovered, how he got on to this place.
Do you have those files that Ryan and Esposito found? Yeah, right here.
The building inspection reports who signed them? Uh, "Mark Kimball.
" All of these files, each one, they have one thing in common the building inspector was Mark Kimball.
That's how he got inside the buildings, operated without being seen.
It was his job.
Which means he had access to the building department.
That's how he was able to change building plans without anyone knowing.
If he's the arsonist, we have to find him.
Oh, God.
He's here.
Kimball! Don't move.
The basement! Is there a way out? Is there? I don't know what you're talking about.
The hell you don't! Is there a way out? Those guys in there they are my friends.
If they die, you die.
What's it gonna be? It's your choice.
Check the other one.
Rescue seven, status? Rescue seven, do you have them? Rescue seven, are they alive? There.
Espo.
Espo.
You scared us, buddy.
You scared us.
Ryan, hey! You smell great.
Where's Jenny? Kevin! You're alive.
Javi! Thank God.
Oh.
You're both beautiful.
Kevin I'd like you to meet Sarah Grace.
