Richard Castle : You know, before Bracken was killed, he told me you'd never be happy just being my wife. Please do not tell me that son of a bitch knew you better than I do.
-
Richard Castle : So what do we know?
Alexis Castle : Last night, Beckett's old team from the Attorney General's office was killed.
Richard Castle : Right. And then this morning, she gets a call from their new hire, Vikram, and all hell breaks loose.
Alexis Castle : Which means everything must be connected to Beckett's time in the A.G.
Richard Castle : But how? That was two years ago.
Alexis Castle : Maybe she stayed in contact.
Richard Castle : And kept me in the dark? Well, before today, I wouldn't have believed it. Now I can't help but wonder what else she's keeping from me.
Alexis Castle : Don't go there, dad.
Richard Castle : Easier said than done.
-
Richard Castle : [watching the surveillance video of Beckett's visit to Bracken] What did Beckett say that freaked him out so much?
[Ryan rewinds the tape]
Senator William Bracken : How do you know about LokSat?
Kate Beckett : Doesn't matter how. The question is what is it, and why is there a hit squad running around the East Coast, killing people to protect it?
Kevin Ryan : LokSat. Never heard of it.
Javier Esposito : Me, neither, but it clearly scares the hell out of Bracken.
Richard Castle : Figuring out what it means is key, and that's exactly what Beckett is doing.
-
Richard Castle : Hey, Alexis. I have another clue.
Alexis Castle : So do we.
Richard Castle : We?
Alexis Castle : Me and Hayley. Her feelers paid off. Vikram showed up at a hotel in Midtown an hour after they left the prison.
Richard Castle : Was Beckett with him?
Alexis Castle : I don't know. We just got here. I'll call you as soon as we figure anything out.
Richard Castle : No, no, Alexis. I don't want you involved in this.
Alexis Castle : Dad, I can take care of myself.
Richard Castle : Alexis, no. It is too dangerous.
Alexis Castle : I'm not a kid anymore, dad. Beckett's family. I'll call you after.
-
Allison Hyde : Are you currently in contact with Captain Beckett?
Richard Castle : No.
Allison Hyde : But she did rescue you last night.
Richard Castle : Yes. And then she left me, so it's kind of a sore subject.
-
Richard Castle : Beckett, this is Hayley. She's the one who helped me find you.
Kate Beckett : Thank you for taking care of him
Hayley Shipton : Yeah, it's a lot of work. I don't know how you do it.
-
Kate Beckett : What is it?
Richard Castle : You tell me.
Kate Beckett : I know. I've got a lot of explaining to do.
Richard Castle : You lied to me. You looked me right in the eye, and you lied to me. Why didn't you tell me about Vikram?
Kate Beckett : I couldn't.
Richard Castle : [skeptical] Come on.
Kate Beckett : The A.G.'s office has strict protocols, Castle.
Richard Castle : You're not with the A.G.'s office anymore.
Kate Beckett : I did what I did to protect you. He gave me a class seven distress code. That's life or death. I mean, what did you want me to do?
Richard Castle : Tell me the truth. Come on, do you have any idea how worried I was?
Kate Beckett : Yeah, I do. I was gone for thirty-six hours. A year ago, you were gone for eight weeks. Eight weeks.
Richard Castle : That was different.
Kate Beckett : Sure was. You still don't remember what happened during six of those weeks, and yet I trusted you. So please, just trust me. I didn't do this to hurt you. I did it to protect you.
Richard Castle : Why am I so angry?
Kate Beckett : You know what? When the shoe was on the other foot, I felt the same way.
Richard Castle : No, that's not it. It's you. Because I've... seen this before.
Kate Beckett : What is that supposed to mean?
Richard Castle : Nothing. Just that we work better as a team.
Kate Beckett : Yeah, of course we do.
Richard Castle : Yeah. Together, we can figure this out. We can figure anything out, just like always.
Kate Beckett : I know. Okay. No more secrets.
Richard Castle : No more secrets.

Kevin Ryan : Let me get this straight. So, you and Vikram here, you're being hunted by a secret death squad that's being sanctioned by someone deep inside the CIA, and you don't want any help?
Vikram Singh : Haven't you been paying attention? There is no help.
Javier Esposito : Bro, the A.G.'s office has resources.
Kate Beckett : It wouldn't matter. These people have the power to pull strings, to make evidence, cases, people disappear. We can't work through the system.
Richard Castle : So, we have to work outside the system. Beckett's right. Can't fight a faceless enemy who lives in the shadows unless we drag them out into the light.
Kate Beckett : What do you mean?
Richard Castle : Whoever's behind this memo relies on secrecy. The one and only thing that LokSat fears...
Kate Beckett : Is exposure they can't control.
Richard Castle : Exactly.
Kate Beckett : If we pour enough light on this conspiracy...
Richard Castle : Then whoever's behind it can't come after you or Vikram.
Kate Beckett : Because everyone will be watching.
Richard Castle : And I know exactly how to turn those lights on.

Richard Castle : Hey! How about breakfast for dinner? I'm making s'morelets. Which is technically dessert for dinner, but we...
[he sees Beckett's bags packed]
Richard Castle : You going somewhere?
Kate Beckett : I'm sorry. I love you so much.
Richard Castle : What are you doing?
Kate Beckett : I have to go.
Richard Castle : Why?
Kate Beckett : I... I have to get my head right. I have to figure some things out so that... we can have a happily ever after.
Richard Castle : Where is this coming from? Is this because of your A.G. team? Is it Bracken? Why are you giving up on our marriage?
Kate Beckett : I... I'm trying to save it.
Richard Castle : By leaving me? Look, if you have a problem, we have a problem. That's how this works.
Kate Beckett : No, Castle. Not this time.
Richard Castle : Look, whatever it is, Beckett, we can figure it out. Like always.
Kate Beckett : [starting to cry] Rick, do you trust me?
Richard Castle : Of course.
Kate Beckett : I need you to trust me now. I have to do this on my own. And when it's done, I just... I hope that... I hope that... I hope that you'll have room in your heart to take me back.

Vikram Singh : Just us again. What now?
Kate Beckett : Now we figure out what the hell LokSat 2011BD means.
Richard Castle : [cut to Castle's office] It's a product number. Serial number?
Hayley Shipton : Keypad code.
Alexis Castle : Safe deposit box.
Kate Beckett : [cut back to Rita's safe house] Okay, so LokSat represents the CIA operation used to transport drugs for Bracken and Vulcan Simmons.
Vikram Singh : So it's a... it's a...
Richard Castle : [cut back to Castle's office] A code name?
Kate Beckett : [cut to the safe house] Uh, maybe. But you know what? Maybe it's something more. Maybe it's not just the name of the operation. Maybe it's the name of the transportation company.
Vikram Singh : A modern-day Air America.
Kate Beckett : Exactly. And 2011DB is the tail number on an airplane.
Richard Castle : [cut to Castle's office; "simultaneously" with Beckett] The tail number of an airplane.

Martha Rodgers : Richard?
Richard Castle : In here.
Martha Rodgers : [entering with coffee cups] Ah. I thought you two might need a pick-me-up. Oh, and look who I found downstairs.
Hayley Shipton : [entering] Hey.
Richard Castle : That's funny. Last time I saw you, you said we were done.
Hayley Shipton : Look, I feel bad about what happened. If I had known I could have used you as bait, I would have stuck around and followed your kidnappers.
[seeing Castle, Martha, and Alexis aren't amused]
Hayley Shipton : It was a joke.
Martha Rodgers : Not a very good one.
