Sunkrish Bala: Vikram Singh

Quotes 

• [on the phone with Beckett, having discovered a direct link between the current case and LokSat] 

  Vikram Singh : Good thing Castle's nowhere near this one.

  Kate Beckett : Yeah.

  Richard Castle : Ahoy! I'm the king of the world!

  [Beckett sees Castle on a deck above her and lowers her phone in disbelief] 

  Vikram Singh : Hello? Beckett?

  Kate Beckett : [to herself]  This can't be happening.

• Kate Beckett : So, um, the text from last night, what did you find?

  Vikram Singh : Actually, uh... that's a dead end.

  Kate Beckett : What?

  Vikram Singh : My bad.

  Kate Beckett : An- And you didn't know this last night?

  Vikram Singh : Um...

  Kate Beckett : Did you text me to pull me out of my anniversary dinner with Castle?

  Vikram Singh : Look, you broke up with him for a reason... No one can know what we're doing, especially Castle. It's too dangerous.

  Kate Beckett : I know! And I- I am being extremely careful. I'm just trying not to lose my marriage in the process.

• Vikram Singh : You okay?

  Kate Beckett : No... Acosta's partner could have brought us closer to LokSat. Instead, he's in the morgue. It's all come crashing down around my ears, and I've got nobody to blame but myself.

  Vikram Singh : Ahh, you are having a pity party. That's okay. I'll leave. But I will be taking a pretty juicy clue with me.

  Kate Beckett : If you're messing with me, I might shoot you.

• Vikram Singh : I was able to trace the ownership of the warehouse where Sam Mackey dropped off the heroin. It's a Caymans shell corp. I dug back into the articles of incorporation from '99. You won't believe who wrote up those documents... Caleb Brown.

  Kate Beckett : Acosta's public defender?

  Vikram Singh : Turns out Brown worked for a major corporate law firm back in the day. Pulled in mid-six figures annually. Then he suddenly gave it up a few years ago to be a... defender of the people.

  Kate Beckett : That's the perfect cover. It gives Brown access to assets in prison, and allows him to pass orders to dealers that we've already caught.

  Vikram Singh : Dealers like Acosta.

  Kate Beckett : Brown told Acosta to take the fall for Lara's murder so that we would back off of the drugs.

  Vikram Singh : And Acosta obliged. That's how powerful Brown is.

  Kate Beckett : Okay, we can't go straight at this guy. He's not a scared truck driver. This guy is a shark. And if he sees us coming, LokSat's gonna burn all of us. We've got to track Brown's every move, nice and quiet.

  Vikram Singh : It's gonna take time.

  Kate Beckett : Yeah, but if we do it right... he'll lead us straight to LokSat.

• Kate Beckett : Uh, Vikram?

  Vikram Singh : Surprise! Welcome to our new office.

  Kate Beckett : A strip club? Really?

  Vikram Singh : Hey, you said to find a location where we could hunt for LokSat without anyone looking over our shoulders.

  Kate Beckett : Yeah. And, uh, this is the best you could find?

  Vikram Singh : It's perfect. Vice raided the place, now it's tied up in trial. We can operate here for months completely off the grid.

• [Castle and Hayley are trying to hack Vikram's computer] 

  Vikram Singh : She's almost in. I can launch a cyber-nuke, but it'll completely fry his system.

  Kate Beckett : He's got a back-up system at home.

  Vikram Singh : Is that a go for launch?

  Kate Beckett : Yes.

  Hayley Shipton : No, no, no, no, no, no, no! Oh!

  Richard Castle : What... just happened?

  Hayley Shipton : Armageddon, I'm afraid. Vikram's nuked the whole system. We've lost everything.

  Richard Castle : We've lo... I never liked that guy.

  Kate Beckett : Did they get in?

  Vikram Singh : No. Another *second* and they would have. Thankfully our location and all our files are still safe.

  Kate Beckett : Yeah. For now. I just hope I didn't nuke my marriage.

• Vikram Singh : Where you going?

  Kate Beckett : I need to talk to Castle.

  Vikram Singh : No. That'll have to wait. I found the garbage truck driver from Friendly Islands. His shift ends in thirty minutes. With Lara's murder all over the news, they might be circling their wagons. We gotta get to him now.

  Kate Beckett : No, I hate lying to him.

  Vikram Singh : I know. But you're doing it for the right reasons. This's our first real shot to get to LokSat. We have to take it.

  Kate Beckett : You're right.

  [sighs] 

  Kate Beckett : Tell me about the driver.

• Kate Beckett : I know what you're thinking, Sam. You're thinking I'm not gonna kill you, and you are right. But you've been running drugs, and that means the NYPD can seize everything in your life.

  Vikram Singh : You want your kids to live out of a cardboard box? 'Cause that's what's gonna happen.

  Sam Mackey : I don't know any names. They pay me not to ask questions. Don't involve my family. I- I... I didn't have a choice.

  Vikram Singh : I think he's telling the truth.

  Kate Beckett : All right, Sam, here's what's gonna happen. I'm not gonna arrest you. But if you get another delivery...

  [hands him a card] 

  Kate Beckett : ... you call this number.

  Sam Mackey : No, no, no, no. I can't. They'll kill me.

  Kate Beckett : They might. But if I arrest you, they definitely will.

  Vikram Singh : And telling them about this conversation guarantees that your whole family will be wiped out.

  Sam Mackey : I won't say a word. I promise.

  Kate Beckett : Good. Now where exactly is the warehouse full of heroin?
