Quotes 

• Kevin Ryan : Just got off with hospital security again. Building's locked down, we got teams going through, but there's no sign of Elena.

  Richard Castle : And we still have no idea who this woman really is.

  Captain Fowler : [entering]  I'm afraid we do. Security video shows her leaving her room alone. And the officer's throat was cut in same exact manner as the murdered drug dealers. Same angle, same left-handed stroke, favoring the carotid.

  Captain Victoria Gates : That's what those text messages meant, about packages being delivered. She wasn't a courier for the ring.

  Javier Esposito : She was their contract killer.

  Richard Castle : A *contract* killer. That's who Beckett is out there impersonating and you didn't know?

  Captain Victoria Gates : Mr. Castle...

  Richard Castle : And now, this woman is out there somewhere. Do you have any idea what's gonna happen to Beckett when the real Elena shows up?

  Captain Fowler : We're doing everything we can.

  Richard Castle : Well, it's not enough!

• [briefing Beckett about his case] 

  Captain Fowler : It looked like another dead-end. Then, this morning, Elena got another text from the ring. This time, they wanted to meet her to offer her a promotion.

  Kate Beckett : Which would give you guys a chance to get eyes on someone.

  Captain Fowler : It's the break we've been waiting for. So, we leveraged Elena to take the meet, but she tried to commit suicide.

  Captain Victoria Gates : She's in intensive care under police guard.

  Kate Beckett : Sir, I'm sorry to hear about that, but what does this all have to do with me?

  Captain Fowler : The meeting is set for five today and a chance like this is not gonna come back around. So we combed the NYPD database for someone of about Elena's age and appearance, who speaks fluent Russian, in case that's relevant. Only one name came up... Yours.

  Kate Beckett : You want me to go in her place?

  Captain Fowler : To the Widmark. Show up, meet your contact, and leave. In and out.

  Kate Beckett : What if they found out that you turned Elena and that this is all a trap?

  Captain Fowler : Then they wouldn't be meeting at the Widmark Hotel. We were very careful. No one knows she's made contact with us.

  Captain Victoria Gates : Still, there's a risk that they could see Detective Beckett and realize that she's not Elena.

  Captain Fowler : In the text, they asked Elena to wear a red scarf. Which tells us that they don't know her on sight. My people will be in place watching every move you make. We can even fit you with a monitored mic if you like.

  [Beckett is undecided] 

  Captain Fowler : Detective, something *big* is going on out there and this is our best chance to find out what. But the meeting's in two hours. So, I need your answer.

• Richard Castle : [entering precinct]  Hey. You guys have not been returning my calls. Where's Beckett?

  Captain Victoria Gates : Mr. Castle, why don't you come into my office?
