You saw that interview. No-one believes me. But somewhere out there, someone knows where I was, and what I was doing.
You ready for this?
A mystery I might be able to solve? It'll be a relief.
“Montreal” · Season 7, Episode 2
In this episode: Richard Castle (6), Kate Beckett (4), Alexis Castle (1), Martha Rodgers (1), Victoria Gates (1)
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?
Yeah, but not a haystack full of nutjobs.
Mr Castle! Just what in the hell do you think you're doing?
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?
Aha, that will be my date.
Ooh, you have a date?
Uh-huh, Robert. We met at the grief counselling group, when you were presumed...
You picked up a man at grief counselling?
Yes. Now, I will thank you to go into the other room.
Why?
Because at the moment our relationship is based on mutual loss, and if he finds out that you have returned, and are alive, it will just... it will ruin everything.
Mother, you realise I was on television this morning?
Luckily, Robert is a cultured man, he does not watch television. The only newspaper he reads is the Wall Street Journal, which, thankfully, did not carry news of your return. So, go, go, go, go.
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?
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.
Promise.
CCastle
Grab your passport, I'll get the tickets.
JJenkins
You weren't supposed to come back. Ever.
It's you.
JJenkins
What do you remember?
Nothing.
JJenkins
That's good.
I know you're involved. I know you know what happened to me. Who are you?
JJenkins
You can't be doing this. Asking questions, offering rewards. It's too dangerous.
Then tell me what happened.
JJenkins
You're not listening, Mr. Castle. You need to stop.
Or what?
JJenkins
Or you're going to find out the truth. And you said you didn't want to remember. We went to great lengths to make sure that you didn't. But if you keep looking...
There's no way in hell I asked for this.
JJenkins
I'm sorry, but you did.
I don't believe you.
JJenkins
Hollander's woods, Mr. Castle. That February day, when you were eleven years old. What happened to you there, the real reason you became a mystery writer.
How did you... I never told anyone about that.
JJenkins
No. Not Beckett, not your family. But you told me, three weeks ago, so that if this ever happened, you'd have proof. You'd know that you were the one who asked to forget.
I asked for this?
JJenkins
Some mysteries aren't meant to be solved. It's over now. Go home. Live your life. Forget this ever happened. It's what you wanted.
