Quotes
-
Lanie Parrish : Our victim was shot in the back. He bled out within a few minutes. Then the killer took the time and the risk to cut out the bullet.
Javier Esposito : Obviously our killer was worried that ballistics would lead back to him.
Kate Beckett : Which means the gun's already in the system.
-
Kevin Ryan : Got a hit on the fingerprint match. Our victim's name is Daniel Bardot... He's a recruit officer at the NYPD Academy.
Javier Esposito : He's one of us.
-
[arriving at the police academy and seeing recruits doing push-ups]
Javier Esposito : Bad flashbacks, bro?
Kevin Ryan : Push-ups were the answer to everything around this place. Police work is more than just strength and endurance. It's about intellectual rigor.
Kate Beckett : Oh, come on, you guys, it wasn't all that bad here.
[goes to the trophy case and starts reading the names on the various awards as Esposito points them out]
Kevin Ryan : Says the Academy all-star. Oh, look, "Recruit Officer Beckett"...
Javier Esposito : Oh!
Kevin Ryan : ..."Recruit Officer Beckett"...
Javier Esposito : Ah.
Kevin Ryan : ..."Recruit Officer Beckett".
-
Javier Esposito : Beckett's not here. She's at the Police Academy working a high-profile murder. One of the recruit officers was killed.
Richard Castle : That's a little close to home. These the suspects?
Javier Esposito : Yeah, and three more recruits just alibied out.
Richard Castle : Your victim was killed by a fellow recruit?
Javier Esposito : Appears so. And word is these four were watching the fights at a local boxing gym at the time of the murder. But that alibi's soft.
Kevin Ryan : [approaching] Hey, just spoke with Liz from Vice. The boxing gym is a notorious hotspot for illegal steroids. Rumor has it that one of the trainers was dealing to a cop at the Academy.
Richard Castle : So, the victim, Bardot, stumbled onto a dirty cop.
Kevin Ryan : Well, that would explain the threatening note, "Dead men tell no tales."
Richard Castle : But Bardot wouldn't back down, so the cop kills him.
-
[as a recruit runs out of class, he encounters Esposito]
Javier Esposito : Where you running to, recruit?
[the recruit turns to run away, but Ryan knocks him down]
Kevin Ryan : You don't want to miss the rest of the Captain's lecture, do you? Turn over.
-
Javier Esposito : We got the murder weapon. Dumpster diver found it buried in a bag of garbage. The gun was wiped clean, but not the rounds in the magazine. Check this out, the prints are a match to Bardot's.
Kevin Ryan : If Bardot loaded it, then he had to have been the one who stole it from the academy. So he was shot with his own gun?
Javier Esposito : Question is, what was he doing with it out there in the first place?
-
Kevin Ryan : The murder weapon is missing from the weapons cage assigned to Bardot's company, Company 38.
Javier Esposito : Lock on the CCTV security closet was jimmied open. Someone killed the security cameras in the weapons room between 7:30 and 7:35 last night.
Deputy Commissioner Malone : At that hour, it's mainly recruits who are left in the building. All faculty resides off-campus. And only members of Company 38 have access to that weapons cage.
Kate Beckett : So our killer is one of Bardot's fellow recruits.
[cut to training class with recruits]
Kate Beckett : [continues as voice-over] Fourteen suspects who eat, drink, and sleep police training and techniques.
Chambers : Captain on deck.
[cut back to Deputy Commissioner's office]
Kate Beckett : Who have spent *months* learning how we catch killers.
[cut to training class]
Kate Beckett : [voice-over] Which makes them uniquely equipped to plan a murder. So we are gonna have to use every trick in the book to uncover who killed Daniel Bardot.
