Quotes 

• Trapper John : [answers phone]  Where's my bus?

  Kate Beckett : The bus is on its way. It'll be there in twenty minutes.

  Trapper John : The hostages will be dead in two.

  Kate Beckett : No, nobody needs to die. Okay? It's coming. It's just, it's stuck in traffic.

  Trapper John : We have *rules*, Kate. I said I wouldn't kill anyone. You said you'd get me a bus. I lived up to my end of the deal.

  Kate Beckett : And I'm gonna live up to mine in just...

  Trapper John : I warned you not to jerk me around. Now, I was clear about the consequences. Do I have to prove how serious I am? Is that it?

  Kate Beckett : Okay, I-I think we both just need to take a deep breath and we can talk about...

  Trapper John : I'm done talking!

  [Trapper turns and fires his gun towards Castle] 

  Kate Beckett : What was that?

  [cut to a desktop computer smokes from the gunshot] 

  Trapper John : A warning shot, Kate. The next one's for the kill!

  [Trapper makes his way towards Castle] 

  Martha Rodgers : Don't you touch him, you son-of-a-bitch!

  Richard Castle : No, no! Davenport, hold her back! I got this.

  Trapper John : [cocking his gun]  I'm gonna make pretty red stains out of your boyfriend, Kate. I got my gun to his throat, and I'm gonna paint a Jackson Pollock with his insides!

  Captain Peterson : You need to calm him down.

  Kate Beckett : Listen to me, jackass, I do not control traffic. So you're gonna have to give me 20 minutes.

  Trapper John : Now you've got one minute, Kate.

  Kate Beckett : No! I've got 20. Do you hear me? Twenty. Because if you pull that trigger, I will walk through those doors and personally put a bullet through you skull.

  Trapper John : [after a tense moment, he lowers his gun]  Okay, Kate, you got 20 more minutes.

  Captain Peterson : Well, that's one way to negotiate.

• Captain Peterson : Who are you?

  Kate Beckett : Detective Kate Beckett, Homicide.

  Captain Peterson : I'll be sure to call you if someone dies. Meanwhile, I need you to step outside...

  Kate Beckett : No, sir, my partner is in that bank.

  Captain Peterson : Wait, we got a cop in there?

  Kate Beckett : He's a civilian investigator. He and I were on the phone when they took over the bank. He said that there's four suspects in there. They're dressed up in doctors' scrubs.

  Captain Peterson : Anything else you can tell me?

  Kate Beckett : Yeah, I spoke with one of the suspects.

  Captain Peterson : Okay, what was his demeanor?

  Kate Beckett : Calm, actually, very calm.

  Captain Peterson : Thanks for the intel, we'll do everything we can to get your partner out safe.

  Kate Beckett : Okay, so what's our next move?

  Captain Peterson : Well, your next move is to leave my command post.

  [Beckett opens her mouth to argue] 

  Captain Peterson : You want to help your partner, let me do my job.

• Kate Beckett : Why didn't he ask me for something?

  Captain John Davis : What?

  Kate Beckett : Sir... he gave me twenty minutes and he didn't ask for anything in return. If he wanted to maintain control, he would have *asked* for something. I mean, this is all way too easy.

  Captain John Davis : Take the win, detective.

  Kate Beckett : No, sir, something is going on, we're just not asking the right questions.

• Kate Beckett : Sir, what happened to the robbers?

  Captain Peterson : They're dead. They blew themselves up.

  Kate Beckett : What?

  Captain Peterson : Apparently, the C-4 was part of the exit strategy. They blasted a hole straight through the bottom of the vault and opened the ceiling on an abandoned subway station below. Smart plan, if they didn't screw it up. They must've triggered the explosion before they took cover and they killed themselves.

  Martha Rodgers : Oh!

  Richard Castle : It's not possible. C-4, it's a very stable explosive. It wouldn't go off accidentally, and these guys were not dime-store bandits. They were trained. They were military precision. They-They wouldn't set off an explosion prematurely.

  Captain Peterson : Really? I got an assortment of body parts that tells me they did.

• Captain Peterson : Really? What would a safe-deposit box have to do with anything?

  Kate Beckett : I don't know, but if Castle went to the trouble of sending that message, it means something.

  Captain Peterson : How do you know it's him?

  Kate Beckett : Trust me, it's him.
