Did you kill Carver for the map?
Oh, come on, kid, you know me better than that.
[Coldly, hurt] I don't think I do. Because the man I knew wouldn't betray me like this.
Mike. I was in love with you.
You were the only one who understood the obsession that drove me. Who didn't tell me that I would get over my mother's murder and that she wouldn't want me to do this.
[Shaking his head, sadly] Just -- just trying to do right by you, kid.
I dreamt about you. The night I shot the guy that killed my mother, I dreamt that I was the one who was on the ground dying, and that you came up to me and told me to stand up, 'cause there was still work to be done. [Longingly] When I woke up that morning I just wanted to call you, but we hadn't talked in so long.
You should've called. I never forgot.
I'm going to catch Carver's killer, Royce. And then I'm going to recover Lloyd's score. And when I arrest you, you're going to realize that what you destroyed today was worth a hell of a lot more than money. [She hangs up. Speaks to Ryan, suddenly distant, and unemotional] Did I keep him on long enough?
EspositoYeah, we got an address.
Wh-what? All of that was just an act, to get a trace?
Of course. [She turns and walks out, her face contorting with silent tears]
[Searching for the suspects in a cemetery]
You know, if this were a horror movie, we’d be the first ones killed, splitting off like this.
Esposito
Yeah, except we are not a couple of top-heavy coeds out looking for fun. We’re highly trained officers of the law with enough firepower to take out a horde of undead.
Hispanic and cocky. Yeah, you’d definitely die first.
Esposito
That was a nice thing you guys did in there.
Well, I just thought that after everything Greg did for her, they deserve a chance. Besides, if it were you and I in Amy's shoes, we'd still be rotting in prison.
Esposito
Huh, speak for yourself, bro. I'd escape.
What, you'd just leave me in there?
Esposito
It's the law of the jungle. I gotta look out for numero uno.
Wow. Nothing like a hypothetical prison term to let you know who your friends really are.
Don't worry Castle, I'd get you out.
Esposito
I found something unusual. Almost every morning she bought coffee.
A doctor that drinks coffee, wow that is unusual.
Esposito
It is. The coffee shop is twenty blocks from her apartment.
Maybe it was on her way to work?
Esposito
Nope, complete opposite direction.
Boyfriend in the neighborhood?
Esposito
Only one way to find out. (walks away)
Great, now he's mad at me.
[Castle and Beckett had been captured, interrogated and injected by government agents the night before]
Those men knew who killed Marie and they refused to tell us.
They also refused to confirm that J. Edgar Hoover liked to wear dresses.
Esposito
[walking up and checking out the injection marks on their necks] Abducted by government agents, huh? [grins] Come on. What were you two really doing?
[rolls eyes] It's not a hickey, Esposito.
Esposito
You both have one.
I wish it was a hickey. [Beckett looks up with a small smile] It's from the injectors.
Esposito
Is that what the kids are calling it these days?
...
[Ryan walks up to Castle, Beckett and Esposito]
Esposito
Yes.
[Watching Natalie at the murder board] Do I really do that?
If it's so adorable, why didn't you sleep with me? [Castle looks momentarily puzzled] Her me, not me me.
Oh, well a fictional character that I wrote, based on you, played by Natalie Rhodes? It's just way too... meta.
[Ryan walks in] We should have a code word so we all know what Beckett to kill when the clone army attacks
Unless we make a preventive strike
Get through to Jenny yet?
She's still not picking up
Don't worry, you'll be laughing about it soon enough
Thanks. So I've been running through all Stacy's clients files. Three couples had filed for divorce within the last month, can you believe it? You marry the love of your life and next thing you know they're cheating on you
Sorry, anyway two of the guts have rock-solid alibies and the third divorce has nothing to do with cheating
Esposito
[Esposito walks in] What you guys doing?
Hiding from creepy Beckett
[After Lockwood abducts Ryan and Esposito]
HLHal Lockwood
Now, I’m going to make you a deal. You tell me what I need to know, one pro to another, and I will put a bullet in your brain. You don’t, you jerk me around, and you will be begging me to before this night is up.
[Ryan and Esposito turn to each other briefly]
Esposito
I’m going to have to go with option B.
Oh, yeah. We’re definitely going to jerk you around.
[Speaking with Homeland Security agent Fallon about the case]
Just so I’m clear, are you taking over?
This is your case. I’m just here to lend support however I can.
Esposito
Yo, Cap. ICE just sent over the immigration papers for Amir Alhabi. He got a degree in electrical engineering from a school in Damascus.
What was he working on in Syria?
I got that one. I just spoke with the State Department. They debriefed Amir when he first landed here. They say he was working on a weapons program for the Syrians.
Okay. Now I’m taking over
[to Ryan and Esposito] Gentlemen. Where are we with Violet Young?
Esposito
Just got off the phone with her mother. She says she remembers Violet having a roommate who lives near Canal Street.
Ya, we're gonna head over there and see if Violet reached out to her.
Well let me know. You heard from Beckett?
Esposito
No sir.
She's not answering her cell?
Esposito
Maybe she's airborne.
Hmm, that would explain her phone being turned off.
You know, I'm trying to decide who is the worse liar...him [Esposito] or you [Ryan]. Go find Violet Young and help Beckett put this thing to bed, alright?
[Beckett is calling Mannis' cell phone, unaware that Ryan and Esposito have already encountered him]
Esposito
[over phone] Yo.
Esposito
Beckett?
Esposito
Ya I just shot him. Why are you calling him?
Look, we need to know where and when Gans is selling those bullets.
Esposito
Done. Where's the deal going down?
MMannis
I'm hit, man. Call an ambulance.
Esposito
Oh, my partner's on that.
Nine. One. What-- what comes after that one?
MMannis
I'm in pain here, man!
Esposito
It's over, Mannis. You give us the meet location, I'll tell the D.A. in L.A. that you cooperated.
MMannis
Ah!!! Santa Monica pier! Six o'clock! Now call an ambulance!
Esposito
You get that?
Yeah, we got it. Thanks. Got to get to Santa Monica pier.
It's quarter after six now.
This is gonna be our last chance to get Ganz.
LKLAPD Detective Kyle Sieger
Okay, let's roll.
Justin confessed to everything. His last three clients were losers. Amber was supposed to be his comeback and, if she didn't win, he was through. And, apparently, he found the same naked photos that we did and thought that her ex-boyfriend was trying to exploit her.
He was worried if they called the cops that her secret would get out and they'd both be ruined. So, he decided to handle it on his own. Unfortunately, Jeremy was drunk, he got violent, and Justin ended up killing him.
And he staged it like it was a suicide. Once Amber found out, she threatened to turn him in and he killed her.
That's a whole pageant of bad choices. Good work you two.
[Ryan and Esposito clear their throats in the background.]
Esposito
Thank you.
Mmm, I see a beauty queen worthy of a crown.
EEvelyn
Always the charmer, Rick.
Hey, what you doing here? You know I was just coming to swoop you up.
EEvelyn
Yeah, well, I know how you lose all sense of time when you're working. I figured I'd meet you here.
Do you guys have any big plans?
EEvelyn
Dinner and dancing with the best husband in Manhattan. Especially since he gave me that gift this morning.
Oh, what did you end up giving her?
I followed your advice, Castle. I thought about some of the things Evelyn said she wanted the past couple of years. And my gift to her is next year I'm retiring from the force.
EEvelyn
We're going to go traveling. We're going to go to all of the romantic places.
Esposito
You really want to retire?
I haven't accomplished everything I wanted to on the job, but I've done enough. It's time for me to move on.
EEvelyn
Best gift ever. More Roy.
[The Montgomerys kiss.]
[After Montgomery tell the team he plans on retiring next year]
Mm-hmm. Look, I taught you guys everything I know about doing this job, alright? You're going to be fine without me And for crying out loud, lose the long faces. Smile please? That’s an order.
[All laugh]
Hey, you kids take care, alright? You guys behave now.
Esposito
You have a good time.
Congratulations you guys. Goodnight.
Goodnight, Captain. [Turns To Castle] What the hell did you say to him?
Nothing. No, I-- I just told him to listen to what his wife wanted.
Esposito
Damn, Castle.
How can you think-- I didn't-- There's no way--
Castle, let me let you in on a little secret. Captain Montgomery retires all the time, just give it a week or two. He's like the Brett Favre of the NYPD. Trust me. He's not going anywhere.
