Castle, how's the knee?

Castle

It's not the knee so much as the *boredom*.

I thought you writers liked being alone.

Castle

Yeah, if I could write. But the painkillers make me a little loopy. Last night, I used the word 'speculate' three times in the same sentence.

[Ryan sees a pair of binoculars and looks through them]

Hmm. You must be bored. You've actually gone "Rear Window".

Castle

Alexis got me those as a joke to cheer me up. I have not *yet* resorted to voyeurism.

Then you are missing out.

[whistles]

What? Let me see.

[they fight over the binoculars]

No. Hey!

Give me the binoculars!

Dude, she was just about to take off her towel.

[using binoculars] Oh, the towel's off.

Yeah?

[comes up behind them] Unless the body that you're looking at is dead, I suggest you drop those binoculars.

After revealing the whole scene across the street was staged

Castle

It was all fake? Nothing was real - you let me think I was crazy, you let me think you were gonna die!

But Castle, you were so bored over the past couple of weeks, stuck at home with no case to solve, and I saw that this apartment was for rent, and I thought that...

Richard...

Castle

No ... no ... this is ... without a doubt ... the greatest birthday gift of my life!

This is not an emergency!

Castle

I caught him red-handed. Literally red-handed.

Oh, so then it's gotta be blood.

Castle

What else could it be?

Red paint, tomato juice, beets, red velvet cupcakes.

Castle

He bought a tarp and rope. He brought them into the bedroom, where I'm betting, right now, he's cutting her into portable pieces. Get a warrant. Search that place before there's no evidence left.

Esposito spoke to the girl. We know she's alive.

Castle

How do you know it's the same girl? It's possible he someone to be his alibi.

Or it's possible something else entirely is going on here. Look... I know that you're lonely and that you miss me. I miss you, too. But you don't have to keep making up things to have me come back here.

Castle

Whoa, whoa, whoa. You think this is a ploy to get you here?

Look, I don't mean to be like...

Castle

No, I know what you mean, all right? And I know what I saw.

All right, you know what? I have to get back to the precinct.

Castle

Wow. You really don't believe me.

I'll be back later.

Castle

You know what? Don't worry about it. I'm fine.

I may have an explanation for those facial wounds. Turns out our victim worked at a retirement home called Haven House.

Castle

Vicious, bloodthirsty old folks? Is that your theory?

This home is not for people, Castle. It’s a primate sanctuary, mostly for apes and chimpanzees and monkeys who have retired from the movie business.

I always wanted a monkey when I was a kid. Big Curious George fan.

Castle

Yeah, wait till George grows up. An adult chimpanzee can reach 200 pounds, tear off a man’s face, hands and naughty bits.

KKurt

A few months ago, I came out of hiding to find Anne. I told her I was innocent, that I didn’t kill Justine and I begged her to look into the case. And she agreed to because she believed me.

Yeah, well, I’m a little more skeptical.

Castle

I can vouch for that.

[When Alexis explains what happened to her allowance money]

CCastle

Well, why didn’t you just come to me?

Because I didn’t want the speech.

CCastle

Well, I don’t…What speech?

That people like us need to be careful with the kind of money we have. People might try to take advantage.

CCastle

Oh, that speech. Yeah.

Castle

Looks as though you two were enjoying yourselves.

Castle...

Castle

What about pajamas? Homely flannel or skimpy sleep shorts?

Oh, my gosh, you're sounding like my dad dropping me off at summer camp.

Castle

Did they serve champagne at your summer camp?

I was being polite. Castle, do you think I want this? Do you think I asked to be here?

Castle

I think you're making the best of it.

You know I would rather be with you.

Castle

Well, then maybe I should stay. We could protect him together.

No, I am not letting you do this. I'm not letting you turn this investigation into some kind of a *twisted* competition. Look, don't make this harder than it needs to be. Please.

Castle

Okay. But only because you said please.

Okay, I spoke with the Commissioner, and he's agreed to provide Vaughn with a protective detail.

Uh, great. I actually have a few uniforms that I'd like to recommend for duty.

No. Mr. Vaughn has requested you.

Castle

He what now?

Sir, I'm a homicide detective, not some bodyguard.

Trust me, I know. But this comes directly from the Commissioner.

Castle

Then why doesn't Vaughn just hire a private army? He can afford that.

I don't know why, Mr. Castle. I just know what my orders are. He wants Detective Beckett, and only Beckett. [turns and leaves]

Castle

Can he even do that?

I think he just did.

Castle

We don’t know that you’re standing on a bomb. It could be nothing.

Didn’t feel like nothing. Something gave way under my feet. Felt like a trigger plate.

Castle

Could be wonky floorboard.

With a metallic click?

Castle

Loose nail. That’s how floorboards get wonky.

Castle

What if we replaced Beckett with something of equal weight, you know? Just the old Indiana Jones bag-of-sand-golden-idol trick.

Remember how that turned out?

[After escaping from the bomb]

Hey, Castle, listen... Thank you for staying with me.

Castle

Always.

[they lean in to kiss, but police sirens stop them]

Castle

That's...

[Ryan, Esposito, and Captain Gates get out of the car and come over to Castle and Beckett]

Castle

[to Ryan as they hug] Perfect timing.

Definitely.

[to Beckett] You good?

Yeah, did she see it?

No.

Glad to see you, Detective. Even you, Mr. Castle. I have to say, I don't know too many men who would've done what you did.

Neither do I.

Oh, for heaven’s sake, Detective. Just kiss the man.

Sir, you know?

What? Do you think I’m an idiot? I needed to maintain plausible deniability, which I can continue as long as you two both act professionally at the precinct.

Castle

I know I can, but, Captain, she has a long history of coming on to me at work-

I don’t think it’ll be a problem, sir.

Good. Meanwhile, as long as we're on neutral ground here, I'd say, uh... he deserves it, wouldn't you?

Yes, sir, I would.
