Castle - The Human Factor

Beckett (Stana Katic) and Castle’s (Nathan Fillion) latest investigation is stymied when Homeland Security closes the crime scene of the car bombing. Without a body or a crime scene, Beckett continues the investigation by talking to the victim’s widow (Catherine Dent) and son (Shane Coffey) who believe he was killed for his whistleblowing website which revealed highly damaging documents concerning corporations, politicians, and several government agencies. Things get even more interesting when they discover their victim was killed not from a car bomb, but by an unmanned aerial drone. Despite Castle’s assertions that the drone may have achieved sentience and attacked on its own, Beckett begins looking into where the drone came from and why it was used as a bizarre method of murder.
