[last lines]
Richard Castle : [voiceover] Every writer needs inspiration... and I found mine.
Kate Beckett : [voiceover] Always.
Richard Castle : [voiceover] Always.

[SPOILER:]
Richard Castle : Hey, Beckett?
Kate Beckett : [in the bedroom] Yeah?
Richard Castle : If Mason had an incinerator in the basement, why wouldn't he just dispose of Caleb's body there?
[Castle is suddenly shot by an anonymous assailant]
Caleb Brown : [entering] I told Mason that you would figure it out...
Kate Beckett : Castle?
Caleb Brown : ...but the old man wouldn't listen to me.
Richard Castle : Caleb, don't...
Caleb Brown : Sorry, Rick, but how am I gonna enjoy my retirement with you and the Mrs. hunting me?
Kate Beckett : [entering] Castle!
[she and Caleb exchange gunfire; Beckett hits Caleb, and as he dies, she falls to the ground, a bloodstain appearing on her shirt; she and Castle crawl towards each other and hold hands for comfort]
-
[SPOILER:]
Richard Castle : You're LokSat?
Mason Wood : Yes. Although, technically, that's the code name for my... extra-legal operations.
Richard Castle : So, everything that happened in L.A., the G.D.S., that was all a lie?
Mason Wood : Oh, no, no, no, no. The Greatest Detective Society is very real, connected in no way to my work with the CIA. Think of it as a... fun hobby.
-
[staking out LokSat's dead drop]
Kate Beckett : Castle, you see anything?
Richard Castle : No, just two sewer rats fighting over a piece of pizza.
-
Richard Castle : [on phone] That's not what we agreed to. You were supposed to grab Vikram and then come straight here.
Kate Beckett : I- I know, but that was before the guys were brought in on this and before we got actionable evidence on LokSat. I can't leave now.
Richard Castle : Well, then I'm coming down there.
Kate Beckett : Uh, no, no, absolutely not. You can't risk coming out in the open.
Richard Castle : And you can't risk staying in the open.
Kate Beckett : Castle, I am in one of the safest buildings in the city, a police station. A- A- And better yet, my police station, with my cops... Nothing's gonna happen to me while I'm here.
-
Richard Castle : I hope I get the right dosage, because forgetting to breathe can be such a drag.
-
[leaving Alexis and Martha in the safe room, Castle starts to leave to go to the precinct and Hayley moves to follow him]
Richard Castle : What are you doing
Hayley Shipton : You can't go out there alone. Someone has to watch your back.
Richard Castle : And someone has to watch theirs. I don't know those guys out front. I know you. Stay with them. Please.
-
[SPOILER:]
Mason Wood : All right, truth time. Who knows about me? Beckett, obviously, and Vikram. What about Hayley Shipton?
Richard Castle : [trying to fight the truth serum] Yes.
Mason Wood : Detectives Ryan and Esposito?
Richard Castle : Yes.
Mason Wood : What about your mother?
Richard Castle : [tears welling in his eyes] Yes.
Mason Wood : Ah. Your daughter?
Richard Castle : [a tear rolls down his cheek] Yes
Mason Wood : Yes. Aww. Anyone else?
Richard Castle : No.
Mason Wood : Good. That will be a weight off my shoulders once everyone has been neutralized.
Richard Castle : [Mason turns to leave] Don't do this, please.
Mason Wood : There is no shame in losing, Mr. Castle. Only in the hubris that made you think that this could end any other way.
-
Kate Beckett : I feel like I could sleep for a week.
Richard Castle : How about some breakfast first? Best way to start off a hibernation.
Kate Beckett : Uh, you know what? Why, uh, why don't we just order in? You don't have to cook.
Richard Castle : I love cooking for you.
Kate Beckett : And I love when you cook for me. I'm gonna go change.
-
Richard Castle : What, no alcohol swab this time?
Mr. Flynn : No need. This stuff will kill you in about twelve seconds.
Richard Castle : Or, and just go with me on this, we could skip it. There's no reason this has to end in tragedy.
Mr. Flynn : Everything ends in tragedy, even an epic love story like yours.
-
Kate Beckett : You thinking what I'm thinking?
Richard Castle : Mmm-hmm. You want a Fudgesicle, too?
[sees Beckett's look]
Richard Castle : I know. Could be a trap.
Kate Beckett : Just because Caleb switched sides, doesn't mean that LokSat doesn't have him under surveillance. Any one of these people could be a LokSat agent, or even LokSat himself.
Richard Castle : You care to put a wager on it?
Kate Beckett : Wager on what?
Richard Castle : On which one's LokSat. I got twenty bucks says it's the handsy yogi over there.
Kate Beckett : I'm going for the Carrot Top Cruella de Vil. Wait a minute, does she look a bit like your first ex-wife?
Richard Castle : She kind of does. Oh, my God. Could my ex-wife be LokSat? 'Cause in a lot of ways, that would make perfect sense.
-
Richard Castle : We all heard Caleb's instructions.
Kate Beckett : LokSat's accountant is going to expose himself at that dead drop.
Richard Castle : Talk about high on the food chain. We get LokSat's accountant...
Kate Beckett : It could bring us one step closer to LokSat himself. Vikram, send an encrypted e-mail to Caleb. He's gonna have to show up at that dead drop.
[to Castle]
Kate Beckett : And you have to get ahold of Hayley. We need all the help we can get.
-
[Castle hands Hayley a pair of binoculars]
Hayley Shipton : And what do I need these for?
Richard Castle : Like I said, you're the lookout.
[Hayley hands the binoculars back and leaves the room]
Richard Castle : Wh- When we do our surveillance of LokSat's accountant, we're gonna need you to find a high vantage point, be our eye in the sky.
[Hayley returns with a guitar case in hand]
Richard Castle : There's not a guitar in there, is there?
Hayley Shipton : Not the kind that plays music.
-
Richard Castle : What F-stop are you using?
Kate Beckett : Excuse me?
Richard Castle : F-stop. It's a function on the camera. It tells it how much light to permit...
Kate Beckett : Yeah, no, I- I know what an F-stop is. This isn't a shoot for "National Geographic". It's on auto.
Richard Castle : Auto. No, no, no. Never use auto. Here, let me get that for you.
[reaches for the camera]
Kate Beckett : Castle, stop messing with my stuff.
[slaps his hand away]
Richard Castle : Ow! I thought you liked it when I messed with your stuff.
-
Kate Beckett : [answers phone] Espo, kind of busy here.
Javier Esposito : I know. I know. But listen. I traced the serial number on that briefcase from the crime scene. It belongs to Caleb Brown, so I had the lab run his DNA. It's a match. Caleb's dead. He's our victim.
Kate Beckett : [hearing static on the call] Espo? Are you there?
Richard Castle : What is it?
Kate Beckett : [looking through camera lens] That's not Caleb. Castle, this is a trap.
-
[after a dramatic rescue]
Richard Castle : *That* was amazing! Mason, you, sir, are quite literally a lifesaver. And talk about a getaway vehicle. A Korean barbecue taco truck! Are you serious? Is anyone hungry right now? Because I could totally whip up some kimchi tostadas.
Kate Beckett : [approaching Mason with her gun drawn] Who are you?
Mason Wood : Whoa. Easy now.
Richard Castle : Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. No, no, no, no. Kate, Kate, Kate, this is Mason Wood. He's the head of the Greatest Detective Society. I told you about meeting him in L.A.
Kate Beckett : That doesn't mean that we can trust him.
Mason Wood : Fine, don't trust me. But would you mind pointing that thing away from me? It makes me just a bit nervous.
Richard Castle : Don't worry, she's out of bullets.
Kate Beckett : Why would you tell him that?
Richard Castle : Because he saved our lives, and he's a friend!
Kate Beckett : Who just happened to be at the right place, at the right time, with the right Korean barbecue taco truck? I don't think so.
-
Kate Beckett : How did that happen? We were careful.
Richard Castle : LokSat must've discovered that Caleb betrayed him and then got wind of us.
Kate Beckett : So LokSat killed Caleb, and then all he had to do was hack into Caleb's account and send a fake e-mail to Vikram agreeing to make that drop.
Richard Castle : LokSat is going to keep coming for us. Worse, he's gonna come after our families.
Kate Beckett : Okay, well, my dad's away on business so he's okay for now, but you gotta get Hayley to pick up Alexis and Martha and take them to the P.I. office safe room.
Richard Castle : What about Vikram? He's in danger, too.
Kate Beckett : I'll track him down, and then we'll meet up and we'll make a plan.
[sees the concern in his face]
Kate Beckett : No, no, no. Come on. Don't give me that face. Just say we'll meet at the P.I. office.
Richard Castle : We'll meet at the P.I. office.
-
Javier Esposito : [Castle improvises an escape route from a room with one door] What are you doing? That's the street side. You can't get out.
Richard Castle : We don't have to get out. We can get in. We can escape down there.
Javier Esposito : If we stop shooting, they're coming in.
Kevin Ryan : Don't worry about us. Go get Beckett.
-
Mr. Flynn : Ah. Good. Awake and alert, I see.
Richard Castle : Who are you?
Mr. Flynn : Does it matter? I understand that, as a writer, the naming of a thing would seem to be of paramount importance. But trust me, my name is the least consequential thing for you to know right now.
Richard Castle : It's an embarrassing name, isn't it? Like a boy named Sue? Maybe your mother called you doofus?
Mr. Flynn : I was named by the State... But for operational purposes, I'm known as Mr. Flynn, and I've been entrusted with your interrogation. By the time we're done, you will have revealed the names of everyone who knows about LokSat.
Richard Castle : [chuckles] So you can kill them? Forget it. I'm not telling you anything. I'm not betraying anyone. I don't care how many thumbscrews you put to me.
Mr. Flynn : Oh, no. I don't believe in torture. Science is much more effective, and the company has made great leaps in the field of chemical truth agents.
[attaches an IV to Castles arm]
Mr. Flynn : Within the hour, you will tell me everything I want to know, and then you will die... Now, tell me honestly, was knowing my name really that important?
-
Mr. Flynn : SPOILER: Thanks for sharing your personal feelings. They've given me some real insight.
Richard Castle : You know, you- you don't have to do this. Clearly, you're looking for something more.
Mr. Flynn : Oh, no. You misunderstood me. I'm not yearning for a happy family, simply insight into how best to dissect one. Now, time to get down to business.
Richard Castle : Look, um... maybe I could make a quick trip to the little boys' room before we get started with any more questions?
Mr. Flynn : Oh... I won't be asking the hard questions.
Richard Castle : Who will?
Mr. Flynn : My boss, the man you call LokSat.
[Flynn leaves, and Castle comes face to face with LokSat]
Mason Wood : Surprise.
-
Mr. Flynn : Can I ask you a personal question?
Richard Castle : No.
Mr. Flynn : As I said, I was raised by the State. I never had a family growing up. I never knew love in the way that you so clearly do.
Richard Castle : Well, why don't you unstrap me, I'll come give you a big hug.
Mr. Flynn : I've read your files. You were an incorrigible playboy before you met Katherine Beckett. What changed?
Richard Castle : I fell in love with her.
Mr. Flynn : Why?
Richard Castle : Because I'd never met anyone like her.
Mr. Flynn : Well, you've never met anyone like me.
Richard Castle : Yeah, but you don't have the legs, or the eyes, or the brains, or the heart. Beckett makes me laugh. She challenges me. I became a better man. Wha- Why am I telling you this?
[Flynn taps the IV of truth serum]
Richard Castle : Right.
Mr. Flynn : But these feelings make you vulnerable. Surely, you must see that.
Richard Castle : Yeah, well, what's the alternative? To be like you? A man alone, without empathy?
Mr. Flynn : She's the reason you are on this table. If you'd never met her, you'd most likely have a very long life ahead of you. Surely, you would take a do-over, if offered.
Richard Castle : No, I wouldn't.
Mr. Flynn : Hmm. Interesting.
Richard Castle : She's gonna find you. You and LokSat. And she's gonna bury you both. And I can't tell a lie, right?
Mr. Flynn : Yes, but the fact that you believe it, does not make it the truth. Kate Beckett is going to be dead by the end of the night, and there is nothing you can do about it.
