[written on a therapist's body] "Psycho the rapist your out of time"?
Looks like a patient lost their patience.
Also his command of grammar. "Your" should be You-apostrophe-R-E as in "you are." That's not even a tough one, not like when to use "who" or "whom."
You really think that's the take-away here, Castle?
I'm just saying - whoever killed her also murdered the English language.
[After Beckett discovers that Castle placed a bet with Esposito and Ryan over who would solve their murder first]
Listen, I'm sorry. I know it was wrong, I just-
Beckett, you are never gonna believe this.
Oh, the bar on "unbelievable" is pretty high right now.
The vic's husband took out a three-million dollar life insurance policy on his wife last month.
[to Castle] $100 on us.
[After Ryan and Esposito catch a break in their case]
I've got a bad feeling about this.
Are we really rooting against solving a murder?
Well, I don't want to shave my head! Do you?
Why would I shave my head?
You're in on the bet, aren't you?
Yeah, but I didn't realize-
[imitates electric razor]
It's a common mistake, but it's not ironic that Dr. Cosway's not here for you to lean on. It's just simply tragic. It would be ironic if her death made you feel better.
[Beckett, Ryan, and Esposito are at dead ends in their respective cases]
We'll start over. Fresh eyes. You take our murder, we'll take yours.
All right.
[a thought strikes him] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Say that again.
You take our murder, we'll take yours.
Could it be that easy? You take mine, I'll take yours.
What are you getting at, Castle?
Strangers on a Train.
The Hitchcock movie?
I'm partial to the novel by Patricia Highsmith, but yes. We have two strong suspects, but with airtight alibis, right?
Right.
We know they're connected. What if the connection is the killers?
Jason and Eric committed each other's murders.
And made sure they had an airtight alibi for the murder they knew they'd be suspected of. It's not our victims that are connected, it's our murderers. Crisscross!
Lanie ran the substance on our vics against the Hudson River water. It's a match.
Marx gets on the boat uptown, Cosway joins him at Chelsea Piers, and they ride to Pier 11 together.
So one day, maybe they start talking. Maybe about the Yankee bullpen, maybe about the attractive secretary leaning up against the railing. Oh, and Jason starts grumbling about his wife. Eric maybe mentions how he covets Frank's apartment.
Yeah, well, there's an open upper deck. I figure that's where they were doing their plottin'.
And how the water from the Hudson got on both of them.
It gets transferred from Eric Marx's jacket and gloves to Ashley Cosway when they struggle.
Then to Frank Anderson when Jason Cosway swipes his watch and wallet.
Done deal.
Except it's all circumstantial. The DA will never buy it without hard evidence or a confession.
Oh, we're gonna get a confession.
[Beckett and Castle scoff as they look at each other and then back at Ryan and Esposito]
Not if we get one first.
So, bet's back on?
[getting in his face] You bet your britches the bet is back on.
