Stack, Beckett and others in “The Human Factor”

So what do you want to know?

Beckett

Why don’t we start with who are you?

Jared Stack. Special Investigator for the Attorney General’s office.

Castle

I’ve never heard of it.

[whispering] You’re not supposed to.

Beckett

And what’s your connection to Dale Tanner?

Tanner was under scrutiny by the FBI, DHS and the Pentagon, not to mention the NYPD Counter-Terrorism Unit. Somebody objective needed to look into his death, so they picked me.

Beckett

When did you realize that he was killed by a drone and not a car bomb?

Once our people examined the wreckage.

Castle

Why the fake ID?

I didn’t know where this was headed. The AG needs deniability.

Castle

“The secretary will disavow all knowledge of your actions.” It’s Mission: Impossible.

Pretty much. I’m even wearing a mask.

Castle

Really?

[whispering] No.
