“Fool me Once” · Season 2, Episode 4
In this episode: Richard Castle (7), Kate Beckett (7)
You don't think Fletcher's telling Jerry the truth?
That he's suddenly a con-man with a heart of gold? No. That's just another con.
Wait, you don't think people can change?
No. I've seen too many repeat offenders to believe for one second that a guy who promises never to beat his wife again actually won't.
That's a pretty bleak attitude.
Not bleak - realistic.
[on CIA Agent Gray] This man is a machine. I've interviewed serial killers, hitmen. Agent Gray?
Mm-hmm?
By far, the most dangerous man I've ever met. [looks around and whispers] He once killed a North Korean agent with a melonballer.
[suddenly appearing behind them] It was an ice cream scoop, Castle. And that information was supposed to remain private.
Sorry.
I hate this case.
I know, isn't it great?!
He wasn't a con man. He was in the CIA.
[thrilled] Best case ever.
[half-interrupting him] Shut up.
[When Beckett tells Castle she hasn't read Heat Wave yet]
You were all over me to get a copy of that book. Do you have any idea how many hoops I had to jump through, just so my editor wouldn't send an armed guard to watch over you while you read it? The least you could do is to… [pauses and looks at her] Oh. Oh! I see what you're doing.
I'm not doing anything.
Oh, yes, you are. Yes, you are. You're trying to push my buttons, but it's not gonna work.
Really?
Mmm.
'Cause it seems to be working just great. [smirks]
It's really a kind of psychopathy. To be so cold that you can look someone in the eye, tell them that you love them, and then rob them blind without the slightest remorse.
[Blinks and holds up his hands] Whoa, I just flashed back to the eighth grade. [Indignant] Sherry Ort. Broke my heart, stole my lunch money.
[Cell phone rings and Beckett answers it]
Beckett.
[raving on] Then she laughed about it with her friends.
[After Castle and Beckett figure out the case and realize who the killer is]
But what about the phone call from Steven?
Well, she must've faked it somehow.
Why?
Because…
The con is still on!
