[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.
-
[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.
Kate Beckett : What are you talking about?

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?

[having identified her shooter possible location]
Kate Beckett : All right, you stay on grid. Let us know if he moves. Esposito, you're coming with me.
Kevin Ryan : Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What are you doing? You want to do this, you do it right. You put a team on that car, and you bring backup with you.
Kate Beckett : Ryan, this whole thing started because of a group of corrupt cops. How do you know there aren't more out there? We're about an inch away from catching this guy, and I'm not gonna blow it by advertising our next move.
Kevin Ryan : With all due respect, this guy put a bullet in your heart, and then he disappeared into the ether. You cannot go in there unprepared.
Kate Beckett : Unprepared? I've been preparing for this for the past thirteen years.

[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.
-
Captain Victoria Gates : Withholding evidence, lying to a superior officer? What you did *dishonors* the city and dishonors the badge. Not only are you off this investigation, I'm putting you both on administrative leave, effective immediately.
Kate Beckett : Sir...
Captain Victoria Gates : Don't you "sir" me. You don't deserve to wear the uniform. Now hand over your badges and guns.
[Esposito turns his over with no hesitation]
Captain Victoria Gates : Detective Beckett?
[Beckett hands over her gun; she takes her badge off her belt and stares at it. Finally she puts it on Gates' desk]
Kate Beckett : Keep it. I resign.
-
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?

[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.
-
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!
-
Kate Beckett : I've got enough on the drug and weapons charges to put you away for at least five years. Five *years* of your life.
[opens holding cell and enters]
Kate Beckett : What's that worth? I know you didn't kill Orlando. But he called you and you talked to him for two minutes. And you were in that alley... Why?
[Diego stays silent]
Kate Beckett : There's nobody in here but you and me. There's no cameras, no microphones, no one's listening. I can make all those charges go away. Five years of your life back, but you gotta tell me what you know.
Diego Gutierrez : [sitting down next to her] He called last week, talking about times were bad. So I told him I can get you some work, but he knew if he came back to the Cazadores, there'd be no leaving this time. And all he really wanted was a loan, and could I help him out, for old times' sake.
Kate Beckett : Did you give it to him?
Diego Gutierrez : No. He begged me, said he was good for it. Said he had something big coming up, something that'd make him whole.
Kate Beckett : Did he say what?
Diego Gutierrez : No. But that morning, my phone rings. And he said it'd all gone wrong. He was desperate, talking about they were gonna kill him.
Kate Beckett : Who's "they"?
Diego Gutierrez : Don't know. But he was scared.
Kate Beckett : Why did he call you?
Diego Gutierrez : Protection, chica. He said if I help him out, he'd come back. And he knew that was the price. So I told where to meet. But by the time I got there, he was already dead.
Kate Beckett : And you told him where to meet?
Diego Gutierrez : That's right.
Kate Beckett : You didn't tell anyone else?
Diego Gutierrez : No.
Kate Beckett : Did you see anything there?
Diego Gutierrez : White guy. Six foot. Caught a glimpse before the night swallowed him whole.
