[after a fight with Beckett, Castle is coldly indifferent when she shows up at the loft]
Richard Castle : Beckett, what do you want?
Kate Beckett : You.
[entering the apartment, she cups his face and kisses him]
Kate Beckett : [whispering] I'm so sorry, Castle... I'm so sorry... I'm so sorry.
[she kisses him again; he pushes her away, his indifference turning to genuine concern]
Richard Castle : What happened?
Kate Beckett : He got away, and I didn't care. I almost died... and all I could think about was you. I just want you.
-
Kate Beckett : You, um... you have to stop. This investigation, you have to stop.
Kate Beckett : Castle, we already talked about this. I'm fine. I'm in control.
Richard Castle : No, you're not. They are. And if you don't stop, they will kill you, Kate.
Kate Beckett : What are you talking about?
Richard Castle : Before Montgomery went into that hangar, he sent a package to someone. Someone he trusted. It contained information damaging to the person behind all this. Montgomery was trying to protect you, but the package didn't arrive until after you'd been shot. Montgomery's friend struck a deal with them. If they left you alone, that package and the information inside would never see the light of day. But they made one condition: you had to back off. And that's the reason you're alive, Kate. Because you stopped.
Kate Beckett : How do you know this?
Richard Castle : In order for the deal to work, someone had to make sure you weren't pursuing it.
Kate Beckett : Are you a part of this?
Richard Castle : I was just trying to keep you safe.
Kate Beckett : By lying to me about the most important thing in my life?
Richard Castle : That lie was the only thing that was protecting you.
Kate Beckett : Castle, I didn't need protection. I needed a lead, and you sat on it for a year. Now, who is this person? How do I find him?
Richard Castle : He's a voice on the phone. He's a shadow in a parking garage.
Kate Beckett : You met with him? How do you know that he's not behind my mom's murder? How do you know that he's not involved, and how the hell could you do this?
Richard Castle : Because I love you! But you already know that, don't you? You've known for about a year.
Kate Beckett : Are you kidding me? You're actually bringing this up right now? After you told me that you just betrayed me?
Richard Castle : Kate, listen to me.
Kate Beckett : Listen to you? Why should I listen to you? How am I even supposed to trust anything that you say?
Richard Castle : How are you...? Because of everything we've been through together! Four years, I've been right here! Four years just waiting for you to just open your eyes to see that I'm right here! And I'm more than a partner! Every morning I... I bring you a cup of coffee, just so I can see a smile on your face. Because I think you are the most... remarkable, maddening, challenging, frustrating person I've ever met. And I love you Kate, and if that means anything to you, if you care about me at all, just don't do this.
-
Kate Beckett : If I care about you, Castle? You cut a deal for my life like I was some kind of a child. My life. *Mine*. You don't get to decide.
Richard Castle : You keep going with this, they're gonna decide. They're gonna come for you, Kate.
Kate Beckett : Let them come! They sent Coonan, and he is dead. They sent Lockwood, and he is dead. And I am still here, Castle. And I am ready!
Richard Castle : Ready for what? To die for your cause? This isn't a murder investigation anymore, Kate. They've turned it into a war.
Kate Beckett : If they want a war, then I will bring them a war. Straight to their doorsteps.
Richard Castle : Well, I guess there's just nothing I can say, is there? Okay. Um... Yeah, you're right, Kate. It's your life. You can throw it away if you want, but I'm not gonna stick around and watch you, so this is, um... over.
[he turns to leave]
Richard Castle : I'm done.
-
Kate Beckett : So how is the father of the graduate taking it?
Richard Castle : I already have a plan to drown my sorrows. After the ceremony, my mother goes off to the Hamptons, Alexis will be doing her all-nighter, I will be distracting myself with a double feature of "The Killer" and "Hard Boiled".
Kate Beckett : Wow. That is a double feature.
Richard Castle : You like John Woo?
Kate Beckett : The bloodier the better.
Richard Castle : You wouldn't wanna... join me, would you?
Kate Beckett : Actually, I'd love to.
-
Richard Castle : Either this is the most boring dream I've ever had or you can't sleep either.
Alexis Castle : It's not a dream. More like a nightmare.
Richard Castle : Is this about your valedictorian speech?
Alexis Castle : It's my chance to say something important, something worthy. I don't want to blow it, but I feel like I have nothing to say.
Richard Castle : You mean nothing compared to the great sacred texts of mankind,
[glances at her notes]
Richard Castle : or Winston Churchill's speech to Harrow's, or Steve Jobs' address to Stanford. You know, maybe you pick some speeches just a little less daunting to compare yours to, like um... "Say Anything" or "Twilight".
Alexis Castle : It's not supposed to be this hard.
Richard Castle : You know, the most worthwhile things in life are often the most difficult. For example...
[his phone rings; it's Beckett]
Richard Castle : Wow, that really is a smart phone.
-
[discussing Alexis' forthcoming graduation speech]
Kate Beckett : Of course you don't understand why she's taking her graduation speech so seriously. You were probably the guy who had nothing on but *boxers* underneath his gown.
Richard Castle : That is so insulting. If you must know, I was naked underneath.
-
Richard Castle : You, um... you have to stop. This investigation, you have to stop.
Kate Beckett : Castle, we already talked about this. I'm fine. I'm in control.
Richard Castle : No, you're not. They are. And if you don't stop, they will kill you, Kate.

And that's the reason you're alive, Kate. Because you stopped.
Kate Beckett : How do you know this?
Richard Castle : [reluctantly admitting his role] In order for the deal to work, someone had to make sure you weren't pursuing it.
Kate Beckett : Are you a part of this?
Richard Castle : I was just trying to keep you safe.
Kate Beckett : By lying to me about the most important thing in my life?

[deleted scene]
Richard Castle : Hey, Kate.
Kate Beckett : Castle, not now, please.
Richard Castle : Kate. Hey, would you just listen to me?
Kate Beckett : Look, I know what you're gonna say. You think I'm gonna lose perspective because this is my mom's case, and I'm not. I've got this under control.
Richard Castle : You *can* hear yourself, right? You sound like an alcoholic, one year sober thinking she can take another drink. I know you, Kate. We all do. Just step off this case.
Kate Beckett : You wanna help me, Castle? Then help me finish this thing.
-
Richard Castle : Did you get any sleep?
Kate Beckett : Not much.
Richard Castle : Anything new on our victim?
Kate Beckett : We rechecked Orlando's rap sheet. Montgomery wasn't involved in any of his old arrests. That break-in wasn't personal.
Richard Castle : What about the call he made before he was killed?
Kate Beckett : It's from a burner phone. There's no registered owner.
Richard Castle : Hey.
Kate Beckett : Hmm?
Richard Castle : You're not in this alone. I'm here.
Kate Beckett : I know.
[takes his hand]
-
Kate Beckett : No leads for eleven months, and now this. Does Gates know?
Javier Esposito : No.
Kate Beckett : Then we don't tell her. If she finds out this is a match to my shooting, she'll take me off the case.
Richard Castle : Maybe you should be off this case. They tried to kill you once, Kate. You keep going on this, they... What's to stop them from trying again?
Kate Beckett : What's to stop them now? No. I've been waiting a year for this. And I'll damned if I let someone else screw it up.
-
[deleted scene]
Kate Beckett : If this guy went straight, then how did he end up dead in an alley? And that still doesn't explain that second gunshot or the missing bag.
Richard Castle : Well, since I'm in the middle of resurrecting Derrick Storm, all my theories have massive military conspiracies in them.
Kevin Ryan : You know what I don't get? How can you bring back Derrick Storm when he's dead?
Richard Castle : Because I have magical, god-like powers. And a daughter going to college. Do you have any idea what that costs nowadays?
Kevin Ryan : I was just beginning to accept his death.
Kate Beckett : You guys, non-fictional murder case?
Kevin Ryan : Sorry.
Richard Castle : Unprofessional.
-
Javier Esposito : We're just thankful no one was hurt.
Evelyn Montgomery : Believe me, so am I. Ever since Roy died, I've slept with his .357 in the nightstand.
Kate Beckett : So it was just the one guy?
Evelyn Montgomery : As far as I know. He was taking files out of the cabinet. He had Roy's old laptop in his backpack. When he saw me, he pulled his weapon... so God help me, I shot him. I think I hit him in his shoulder, he fired back, and then he crashed through the window.
Kate Beckett : [holds up picture] Evelyn, was this the guy?
Evelyn Montgomery : Yeah. That's him.
Richard Castle : I'm glad Evan and the girls weren't home.
Evelyn Montgomery : Funny thing is, I wasn't supposed to be home either. It's almost like he knew we weren't supposed to be here.
-
Kate Beckett : Say something reassuring.
Richard Castle : There are thousands of break-ins in New York City every year.
Kate Beckett : This one feels different.
Richard Castle : Well, that doesn't mean that it is. Montgomery worked hundreds of cases. Just because this guy was after files doesn't mean he was after your mom's case.
Kate Beckett : Then why is our thief dead? You know, those people that Montgomery was involved with, he said that they wanted me dead, that I was getting too close. And he said that he was gonna give his life in order to protect mine. And they still tried to kill me. I wake up sometimes and I think to myself... "How the hell am I still alive?" It's like I'm just waiting for that other shoe to drop. What if this is that other shoe?

[studying his murder board of Beckett's shooting]
Richard Castle : Things were finally getting better for her. For us. She was just coming out of her shell and now this.
Martha Rodgers : Do you really think it's related to her mother's murder case?
Richard Castle : I hope to God it isn't. Montgomery's friend was very clear. She starts poking around her mother's murder, they'll come after her again... I can't let that happen.
-
[getting pulled out of an interrogation]
Kate Beckett : Book him on the drugs and weapons charge and tell the DA I'm gonna want to file for murder one.
Javier Esposito : It wasn't him.
Kate Beckett : What do you mean it wasn't him?
Javier Esposito : The skin tissue that Lanie was able to scrape from underneath our victim's fingernails, the lab was able to pull DNA. We ran it against Vincente. It's not a match. In fact, it wasn't a match to anyone in the system.
Kevin Ryan : But it did match DNA trace evidence found at another crime scene.
Richard Castle : Well, at least that's something. What was the crime scene?
Javier Esposito : It was a shooting.
Kevin Ryan : Beckett, it was your shooting.
Javier Esposito : DNA confirms that the man who killed Orlando Costas in that alley... is the same man who put a bullet in your heart.
-
Richard Castle : [answers phone] Hello.
Mr. Smith : I think you know why I'm calling, Mr. Castle.
Richard Castle : It's you. Thank God. What the hell is going on? Why did they break into Montgomery's place?
Mr. Smith : Oh, most likely it's a clean-up job. Making sure that Montgomery had nothing else incriminating in his files. As long as Beckett drops her investigation, we still hold all the cards.
Richard Castle : No, she's already onto her shooter. She's not gonna let go.
Mr. Smith : Then we have a problem. If she doesn't stop, they *will* retaliate. Now, I can't control the situation if you can't control her.
-
Kevin Ryan : He's a thief. Orlando Costas. Couple of domestic B & Es, but suspected of a dozen more. He used to run with the Cazadores.
Richard Castle : Cazadores?
Kevin Ryan : They're a violent street gang that deals in drugs, arms, and larceny. But all of Orlando's priors are back when he was a teenager. He hasn't been arrested in years.
Richard Castle : Maybe he got back in the game.
Kevin Ryan : I don't know. He went a long way to clean up his act. Did four years active in the military, discharged with honors last year. Spent his rotation as an MP in Germany.
Richard Castle : Military police? He really did clean up his act.
Kate Beckett : If this guy went straight, then how did he end up dead in an alley?
-
[locating the victim's car]
Javier Esposito : Two blocks away from the alley. Blood smeared on the armrest. This is definitely it.
Richard Castle : He was shot somewhere else and then he came here? Why not go home? Why not go get patched up?
Kate Beckett : He was meeting someone in that alleyway.
Javier Esposito : Phone. His last call was 4:47 a.m., just before he died.
Kate Beckett : Run that number.
Javier Esposito : All right.
Kevin Ryan : Hey, Beckett. Gun. It's a .38. Recently fired.
Richard Castle : So it was a shootout. That's how he got the shoulder wound.
Kate Beckett : Which means wherever he came from, there might be another body.
Javier Esposito : [looking at the car's GPS] I know where he was coming from.
Richard Castle : Where?
Javier Esposito : His last entry was 299 1st Avenue.
Richard Castle : What-What's at 299 1st Ave.?
Kate Beckett : Captain Montgomery's house.

[first lines]
[Beckett is hanging off of a roof and holding on for dear life with one hand]
Richard Castle : Beckett!
Kate Beckett : Castle!
Richard Castle : Beckett!
Kate Beckett : Castle, I'm Here!
Richard Castle : Beckett, hang on!
Richard Castle : [her fingers slip] No!
-
Richard Castle : How's your speech coming?
Alexis Castle : I have watched or read every graduation address ever written and compiled all the best advice into one speech. And then I read it out loud, and guess what I sounded like? A pompous ass. I'm eighteen years old. What the hell do I know?
Richard Castle : [hugs Alexis] Hey, look, everything you know, everything you will know, is... it's what's true for you.
Alexis Castle : I know that everything's changing. Everything's going to be different. And I'm so scared.
Richard Castle : Of what?
Alexis Castle : Moving on.
Richard Castle : Write about that. That feels true.
