[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.
-
Mason Wood : You and Mr. Castle have quite a bond. Unusual in your line of work.
Kate Beckett : Yeah, I'm crazy for him. He's the love of my life. And he understands the sacrifices that I have to make to do this job, so.
Mason Wood : Clearly, whomever you're up against is quite deadly. Ever consider just walking away?
Kate Beckett : Every day.
Mason Wood : Why didn't you?
Kate Beckett : I took an oath. People that I cared about were murdered, and they deserve justice.
Mason Wood : Must be hard carrying that weight.
Kate Beckett : I don't carry it alone.

[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.

[SPOILER:]
Kate Beckett : Pull the gun out of your pocket. Two fingers, put it on the ground.
[Mason takes a step forward]
Kate Beckett : Knock it off! I know it's you. Now, *gun* on the floor. Nice and slow.
Mason Wood : [putting his gun down] I was, uh, worried you might be too smart to fall for this.
Kate Beckett : What's in the other pocket?
Mason Wood : [taking a fob out of his pocket] Oh, this? It's just insurance.
[he presses a button, and Beckett's gun flies to the ceiling; Mason picks his own up and holds it on her]
Mason Wood : You see, mine is made of plastic, so it's unaffected by the electromagnet in the ceiling. And I'm afraid I have some more bad news for you. Your husband's dead.
Kate Beckett : You're lying.
Mason Wood : No, I'm not. He died about the same time I was picking you up. As a matter of fact, his body is in the furnace behind you there, being reduced to a few pounds of ashes... I think it's very fitting that your lives together end in fire, don't you?
Kate Beckett : I'm not going in there without a fight.
Mason Wood : That's very brave of you... but it won't be much of a fight.

[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.

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.
