Quotes 

• Kate Beckett : Hey, I got your text.

  Richard Castle : Hey. I just wanted to check in with you. You know, it must be weird for you, being back here at the precinct, working a case.

  Kate Beckett : Yeah. Yeah, it is.

  Richard Castle : Yeah, especially since McCord's little gag order prevents you from accessing your most effective investigating tool. Me.

  [hands Beckett a cup of coffee] 

  Kate Beckett : [laughs]  Yeah, you are a tool, all right... Wow.

  Richard Castle : So, uh, she's not here right now, so what's the harm in giving me a little... tidbit?

  Kate Beckett : [looks at her coffee]  This is a bribe. Castle, you're *bribing* me with a *latte*?

  Richard Castle : No, I am not. Come on. Don't be ridiculous.

  Kate Beckett : This is low, even for you.

  Richard Castle : Look, I can solve this. I just need a little more to go on.

  Kate Beckett : Castle, you're not gonna "Castle" me on this one.

• [the AG's office has taken over the murder investigation] 

  Kate Beckett : What are you doing here?

  Richard Castle : [chuckling]  Me? What am I doing? What are you doing here? Why didn't you tell me you were coming to town?

  Kate Beckett : I was gonna surprise you.

  Richard Castle : Well done!

• Kevin Ryan : I can't believe Charlie was spying on Anton Renkov and his organization. Any of them look familiar?

  Javier Esposito : Yeah. I saw about three of those Russians on the movie set.

  Kevin Ryan : Mm-hmm.

  Grant 'Sully' Sullivan : And according to Interpol, all of them got criminal records back in the motherland. Assault, murder, all kinds of bad stuff.

  Kevin Ryan : I bet one of them found out that Charlie was a spy and they killed him.

  Kate Beckett : [approaching]  Especially since we know that Charlie was followed to the warehouse.

  Kevin Ryan : Based on what?

  Kate Beckett : We tracked Charlie's movements by triangulating the cell towers that his phone pinged off. And then we used that time stamp to pull satellite footage of the warehouse... How'd you guys get there?

  Javier Esposito : Chicken poop.

  Kate Beckett : Oh... Well, whatever works.

• [last lines] 

  [McCord shows up at the loft] 

  Kate Beckett : Hey, I thought our flight was at eight in the morning.

  Rachel McCord : It is... They know it was you that tipped off the press. A part of me really admires you for the choice that you made, maybe because I'd like to think there was a time that I would have done it. But the people we answer to don't feel that way.

  Kate Beckett : Rachel, I-I...

  Rachel McCord : Kate, you're one of the best agents I've ever worked with... but I'm here to tell you you're fired.

• Richard Castle : Playing the anonymous source card? I mean, that is pure genius. It... it actually makes me love you more.

  Kate Beckett : Well, she's filing for asylum, and the State Department's gonna help relocate her. So, hopefully, that'll keep her safe.

  Richard Castle : Yeah, but even working for the feds, you... you found the ultimate way to honor the victim. Charlie died trying to get Svetlana away from her dangerous family. You completed his mission.

  Kate Beckett : Yeah, but you would've done the same thing, Castle.

  Richard Castle : Yes. Yes, and I would love me more for doing it, too.

• Richard Castle : We really have to talk about something.

  Kate Beckett : Okay.

  Richard Castle : We've been doing this... long distance thing for months, and, uh... and, honey, I mean, we never see each other. And... when we do, it's a... it's a day here, it's a, uh, weekend there, and... let's face it, it's not... working.

  Kate Beckett : [sighs]  I-I know, Castle, but I don't... I don't know how to fix this.

  Richard Castle : I do.

  [holds up a key] 

  Kate Beckett : Wh- What is that?

  Richard Castle : That's a key... to... our... D.C. apartment... I mean, the truth is, I can... I can write from anywhere. So I found a place with a little home office.

  [Kate is touched, but lost for words] 

  Richard Castle : Listen, if you don't like it when you see it, we can always...

  Kate Beckett : No! I don't need to see it.

  [takes key] 

  Kate Beckett : I love this!

  [kisses him] 

• Special Agent Rachel McCord : We'll use the victim's phone and computer data to reconstruct what he was up to in his last twenty-four hours, and by the way, D.C. made it clear that they want us to send it to them.

  Kate Beckett : Why do they want the data?

  Special Agent Rachel McCord : They didn't say. They rarely do.

  Kate Beckett : That's gotta bother you.

  Special Agent Rachel McCord : We don't always get the whole picture. Comes with the territory.

• Richard Castle : So listen, I'm, uh, I'm sorry about that whole bribe thing. I should have known you were incorruptible.

  Kate Beckett : Yeah, I wouldn't say that.

  Richard Castle : Oh. Well, then allow me to try and corrupt you a little later at my place, where we can finally have some alone time. And by "alone time", I mean you and me and my mother and Alexis and... Pi.

  Kate Beckett : That... That sounds... crowded.

  Richard Castle : Yeah.

  Kate Beckett : You know what? Why don't you just give me a call after you guys have solved the case?

  Richard Castle : Well, didn't you hear McCord? The case is wrapped.

  [Beckett hands Castle a flash drive] 

  Kate Beckett : Is it?

  [cut to Beckett and McCord leaving] 

  Kevin Ryan : This whole "greater good" thing blows. Charlie died serving his country. He deserves justice.

  Javier Esposito : What happened to Beckett? She used to understand that.

  Richard Castle : [approaching with flash drive]  I think she still does.

• Kate Beckett : [watching the CIA agent question Svetlana]  He's bluffing. The CIA's not just gonna expose her like that.

  Special Agent Rachel McCord : Yeah, well, I wouldn't bet on it.

  Kate Beckett : The man that she loved was murdered and he's gonna send her on a suicide mission?

  Special Agent Rachel McCord : Like I said, we don't always see the whole picture.

  Kate Beckett : I think this one's pretty clear.

• [trying to get a clue about the case from Beckett] 

  Richard Castle : Okay, she's coming. Just... nod once if it's about the Russians, twice if it's about something else.

  [Beckett nods twice] 

  Richard Castle : Twice. About something else.

  [Beckett nods again] 

  Richard Castle : Three times. What does... What does- What does that mean? What does- how can- I don't know what that means.

  Rachel McCord : [poking her head into the room]  Beckett, we got a lead. Let's go.

  Kate Beckett : See you, Castle.

  Richard Castle : What does the... what does three nods mean?
