BWBlake Wellesley
I speak for the entire Wellesley family when I say you can expect our full cooperation in this investigation.
But? You can tell, there's a "but" coming.
BBlake
Not a "but", a "however". Like I said, we'll cooperate, however, we request these unannounced interviews come to a stop.
Beckett, let's hear him out.
BBlake
I apologize if I'm coming off like one of those guys, Detective. It's just that these impromptu visits are a bit awkward. My nephew Trent said you spoke to him when he visited my mother. Mother became very confused, very upset. I'm sure there's a better way to facilitate this.
BBlake
Well, I propose that all further interviews be coordinated by me and conducted at my offices. What do you think?
Thank you for your offer, Mr. Wellesley. It's very nice of you.
BBlake
[rising up from his seat] Not at all. I'll give you my number-
Hold on. I, too, have a "however". Thank you for your offer, however, my detectives will conduct their investigation in any manner they see fit.
BBlake
Captain, I can get the commissioner on the phone in under a minute.
Well, tell him I said hi, and I could really use a raise. [Rising up] I think we're done here. [Lets out his hand to shake, but Blake walks away. After he leaves…]
Whatever you guys are doing, keep doing it. They're circling the wagons.
[rising up, and pointing at Montgomery with a grin] Awesome!
JJessup
[Regarding his handcuffs] Hey, you guys mind if I take these things off? I'm starting to feel like a stereotype riding around in the back of a police car wearing them.
Sure. Do you want my key?
JJessup
Nah, I got it. Thanks. [Undoes his handcuffs]
JJessup
I've always been good with locks. When I was in the joint, I was thinking how can I take this and make it more productive, you know? So, I've been applying for locksmith schools, but, you know, they won't let me in on account that I'm a felon. Can you believe that?
A felon who wants to be a locksmith. What could possibly go wrong there?
JJessup
You don't have to be mean about it.
[Beckett glares, beat, Castle relocated to back seat with Jessup]
How does a prosecutor get into business with a criminal?
Well, it's hard out there for a pimp who's also a DA. Ooh, that be a good character for a novel. A star prosecutor who's always excelled at everything he's ever done. He couldn't possibly imagine that being a pimp would be a bigger job than he can handle by himself. But one day he gets a call, one of his girls has been knocked around by a client. He realises there's nothing he can do about it, he's a very public figure. So, a white collar prosecutor decides to hire a blue collared enforcer. Can't exactly take out an ad on Craigslist for that. But fortunately enough, he has a big stack of qualified candidates sitting right on his desk.
Which is where he found John Knox. A criminal who mostly managed to stay out of prison.
Which makes him a smart criminal.
Buckley offers him a deal. "Come work for me, I'll throw your case." And Knox does. For a while, everyone's happy. But then Knox decides he's not happy being number two anymore. He takes Buckley's client list, tells Buckley to take a hike.
Knowing that Buckley can't do anything about it without risking exposure.
But Buckley's never backed down from a fight in his life. He gets the cops to drag Knox down to his office to remind him who's boss.
But Knox took it up a notch, sending a warning shot across Buckley's bow by threatening his brother-in-law.
And when Buckely wouldn't back down, Knox threw him off the roof of the parking garage.
Jeez, if only we had some proof.
Who needs proof? What a great story.
Castle [after seeing Alexis dressed maturely for work]: Did that ever happen to you with me? One day you look and see your boy all grown up?
I'm still waiting for that moment, actually.
...I set you up for that, didn't I?
…Maybe it was a pride thing.
Yeah, but you factor in the sublet, not to mention gas, that's a high price to pay for pride.
Yeah, well, never underestimate the fragility of the male ego.
Oh, see, that's just a stereotype-
Don't. Don't. That's… She is baiting us, all right. Just ignore her, and she'll lose her witchy powers.
You wish. All right, let's go off to Parker's office. [As they rise, Beckett looks around and checks her pockets]
Um, where… where, um… Where's my broom?
[Castle laughs sarcastically]
