Quotes 

• Javier Esposito : Victim's name is Abby Smith. She's twenty-three years old. A maintenance worker found her early this morning. We're dealing with something messed up here.

  Lanie Parish : You got that right. Starting off with these stab wounds.

  Richard Castle : They're round. What was the murder weapon?

  Lanie Parish : Hard to tell. A knitting needle, maybe. Or an ice pick. Your guess is as good as mine. Her attacker knew about anatomy. He pierced her carotid and her subclavian arteries. She bled out in minutes.

  Kate Beckett : Which means our killer might have had a medical background. You know, there are no signs of forced entry. Do we know how this killer came in?

  Kevin Ryan : Well, we're not really sure. But he definitely wanted Abby to know that he was here.

  [shows Castle and Beckett the victim's cell phone] 

  Kevin Ryan : She was texted this photo at 10:33, right around time of death.

  Kate Beckett : The killer sent this?

  Kevin Ryan : Right before he murdered her.

  Richard Castle : He was watching her.

  Kevin Ryan : Mmm.

  Richard Castle : And then he sent that to terrorize her. This was personal.

• [the killer has posted a picture of Beckett and Castle on social media] 

  Captain Victoria Gates : 1PP saw that picture, too. And they called me, concerned about your commitment to this case.

  Kate Beckett : Sir, they're taking that photo out of context.

  Captain Victoria Gates : The truth doesn't matter, Kate. It's a public relations problem now. The killer just turned you into the poster child for these murders not being solved.

  Kate Beckett : So, what, they wanna take me off the case?

  Captain Victoria Gates : I told them no. I won't let our suspect sabotage this investigation by manipulating the narrative. So, go home, clear your head, you get back here, and you take his ass down.

• Kate Beckett : Look, I'm not gonna lie to you. You are going to prison. But if you tell me where Kent and Oren are, then you can still control what kind of prison.

  Adam Lane : What's the expression? Three hots and a cot? Works for me.

  Kate Beckett : Yeah, well, you're not gonna be saying that if you get sent to the supermax unit. Where we put our most dangerous and violent inmates. You'll be on lockdown there 24/7 for the rest of your life.

  Adam Lane : Can't be any worse than high school.

  Kate Beckett : Really? And you think you were bullied? Well, prison is going to take you places that you can't imagine. Guy like you? Young, teachable?

  Adam Lane : Doesn't matter. I already have what I want.

  Kate Beckett : And what do you think you have?

  Adam Lane : A legacy. The Internet is permanent. The Netslayer will live forever. I'll be mentioned in the same breath as Manson and the Zodiac. And... if I commit a murder while in police custody, while looking you in the eye, I could argue I did them one better. And there's nothing you can do to stop me.

• Kate Beckett : [to Castle]  Wow! you nailed playing yourself? That's impressive.

• Kate Beckett : You know the problem with anonymity? There is no accountability. It empowers *cowards* to become bullies. Just like this guy.

  [having just watched a web-commercial Castle made for his new book, that wasn't quite what he expected] 

  Richard Castle : What the hell was that?

  Alexis Castle : Dad, you've gotten over a million hits!

  Richard Castle : A million people have seen that?

  Alexis Castle : Yeah.

  Martha Rodgers : Well, it's gone viral, darling. Isn't that what you wanted?

  Richard Castle : Not like this!

  Kate Beckett : Don't worry, Castle. It'll blow over. This is but a blip on the Net continuum.

  Alexis Castle : Yeah.

  Kate Beckett : But we so need to watch this one again.

  Martha Rodgers : Oh!

  Richard Castle : [on web-commercial]  Hi.
