Kate Beckett
You killed Jason Marks and the blood in the car is gonna prove it!
VSVulcan Simmons
Well, then that's a good thing you have a warrant - You do have a warrant, don't you Detective? [Beckett not answering] Aww, I see, that's a shame, because now all that evidence has become fruit of the poisoned tree. My lawyers and I thank you!
Kate Beckett
We've got to take the fight to Bracken.
RCRick Castle
By looking for a mythical tape that no one can find? No, Smith was right. Once we change your look, we get out of town.
Kate Beckett
You know, Castle, my mom had a saying. Vincit omnia veritas.
RCRick Castle
"Truth conquers all."
Kate Beckett
We'll never find the truth if we run away.
RCRick Castle
Kate, we're never gonna find the truth if we're dead. We're not running away. We are surviving, okay? We're living to fight another day.
VVinny
Okay, listen. On occasion, clients might need to make a vehicle disappear, and for ten grand, such a thing can be handled.
Beckett
What was the name of the client?
VVinny
No names came up. He called me in the morning, he said the right things, we struck a deal, but I never met the man. It was all anonymous.
Then how did you get paid?
VVinny
We used a drop. The client left a bag full of cash in a dumpster on the lower East side right after the SUV got turned into a panini.
After? What happens if you crush a car and then you don't get your money?
VVinnie
(chuckles) That does not happen.
Beckett
And instead of going after real leads, we're gonna be chasing thousands of half-baked tipsters playing the Richard Castle lottery.
What real leads? So far, we've had nothing but dead ends. And I'm tired of not knowing. Now, to find a needle in a haystack, do we not first need a haystack?
Beckett
Yeah, but not a haystack full of nutjobs.
Mr Castle! Just what in the hell do you think you're doing?
Beckett
Did you give that TV station the precinct number?
Well, I'm not going to give them my home phone. That's private!
The NYPD is not your personal secretary! Do you know how many man-hours this little stunt of yours is costing us? The phones have been ringing off the hook!
Did you hear that? Ringing off the hook? [kisses Gates and grabs a stack of phone messages] We have leads.
W... w... what just happened?
Beckett
We have no idea what's out there. No idea who's out there. That's too risky.
CCastle
It's Canada. How risky could it be? And need I remind you, I'm a grown man. I have no need to ask your permission. That being said, pleeeease, please, please can I go?
Beckett
Okay, fine. But only because I know you're not gonna do anything stupid if she's with you. [to Alexis] Don't let him do anything stupid.
CCastle
Grab your passport, I'll get the tickets.
[Castle and Beckett glance at each other over their tablets]
Beckett
You want to do something tonight?
Beckett
Sure.
Beckett
We could, um, go watch a movie.
Yeah, yeah, if you want to.
Beckett
Well, not if you don't want to.
Well if you want to, I - I want to.
Beckett
You know what, we've watched a lot of movies over the last couple of weeks.
Beckett
So maybe we could, you know, if you wanted...
Beckett
I mean, we could try something else tonight.
Beckett
Yeah. I mean, we haven't since...
Yeah, well, given everything that's happened, I thought you just, you weren't ready...
Beckett
I thought that you weren't ready.
I'm ready. I'm... I... [scoffs] I'm... I'm so ready.
Beckett
I'm ready too. Like, I'm really ready.
Okay, well, then, what are we waiting for?
[Beckett's cellphone rings]
Beckett
Yes, we’ll pick up where we left off. I’ll even slip into that Valentine’s Day gift you got me.
You mean the one with...?
Beckett
Mmm hmm.
Beckett
Yep.
[Beckett walks into the crime scene and Castle leans heavily on the cop outside the door with a heavy exhalation.]
Beckett
Really? That's how the Devil is gonna kill someone? Using a broken pool stick?
Or perhaps the Prince of Darkness is trying to make a point. You live by the cue, you die by the cue.
Beckett
I thought he usually just released the hellhounds.
All right, then how do you explain what we just saw back there?
Beckett
Easy. Will didn't close the door all the way when he came back in. Our window was open, the killer came through it, and this huge gust of wind forced the door open, and then shut when they left.
Except Will lives on the 19th floor. With no fire escape.
Beckett
Come on, Castle. You know that there are plenty of ways to access windows on high-level floors without a fire escape.
Yes. If you're Spider-Man.
Beckett
Our killer's not Spider-Man.
Agreed. Because it's the Devil.
