Beckett, Royce and others in “Under the Gun”

Beckett

Did you kill Carver for the map?

Oh, come on, kid, you know me better than that.

Beckett

[Coldly, hurt] I don't think I do. Because the man I knew wouldn't betray me like this.

I gotta go.

Beckett

Mike. I was in love with you.

Oh, Kate. Don't.

Beckett

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.

Beckett

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.

Beckett

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?

Ryan

[Shocked] Uh, uh...

Esposito

Yeah, we got an address.

Beckett

All right, let's go.

Castle

Wh-what? All of that was just an act, to get a trace?

Beckett

Of course. [She turns and walks out, her face contorting with silent tears]
