So it wasn’t a dream?
No. you definitely weren’t dreaming.
And you were right. I had no idea.
So you liked it?
Yeah.
Even the part where...
Especially that part. I love that.
Good. Me too.
S5 E1After the Storm
How do you explain the fact that Maddox, the killer we’re searching for and the man who shot you last year, is the one lying there dead?
Bad karma.
What do you want, Ms. Beckett?
The truth.
Never expect that from a politician. Besides, if you really had information, wouldn't you already know the truth?
Roy Montgomery, McCallister, John Raglan, my mother. Everyone that you've ever had killed, I want you to admit to it.
Your mother’s death was a tragedy, and I am deeply sorry for your loss. But I can’t give you what you want. When I was fourteen, I got to be friends with this boy in the neighborhood, Lamar Dokes. Sweet kid. I used to help him with his homework after school. Well, one day, he doesn’t come to school. so I went by his apartment and the door was open. I walked in and…I found Lamar lying on his mattress… dead; his little sister the same way. His mother was in the bedroom. She had hanged herself. Now she left a note. She’d list her job. She was being evicted. And I thought, how could a woman be so desperate, so without hope, that she could crush up pills, put them in hot chocolate, and give them to her kids? And that was the moment, the moment I knew I wanted to help make people’s lives better. And I have. I strengthened the safety net to protect kids like Lamar. I created jobs in those neighborhoods. I’ve done great things. Just as you’ve done great things.
Who do you think you're talking to? How can you justify yourself to me? My mother was stabbed in an alley because of you. She bled to death alone in a pile of garbage! So save me your campaign speeches about the great things.
You sound a bit delusional, you know? But then again, who are you? You're a disgraced cop, obsessed with her mother's murder. And who am I? I'm a decent man looking out for the little guy. That's who the public sees. And every time they elect me, I'm humbled. I strive harder to live up to that ideal. I want to be that man. And I won't let you or anyone else get in my way.
I don't think you're in a position to threaten, senator.
See, here's what you don't understand. It's not who has the gun, it's who has the power. Do you really think that's you?
I have the file. Smith had another copy. 08672241. That's the number of the bank account where you deposited the money orders. So you're right. It is about who holds the power. Now I could release that file and destroy you, but what would that mean for my life expectancy? So here's how it is. The deal that you had with Smith, that's our deal now. And if anything happens to me or anyone that I care about, that file goes public. Am I clear? That's a yes-or-no question.
Yes.
And one more thing. Whoever it is you think I am, whatever it is you think you know about me, you have no idea what I’m capable of or how far I will go. I am done being afraid. It’s your turn now. [swings pistol at the Senator's face] That's gonna leave a nasty scar. Every time you see it, think of me.
Your resignation has been accepted. The matter’s settled.
Sir, I have the top case-closure rate in the precinct. And now that the man that shot me is dead, that particular case will no longer be an issue.
Really? Because it seems to be the gift that keeps on giving. I’m told we put a Michael Smith under guard at the hospital. What was his role in this?
I don’t know.
I don’t believe you. You’re covering for someone and I know who it is. But I don’t intend to dig up the past and tarnish Roy Montgomery’s reputation. The fact is, I admire your loyalty. I hope you feel that for me someday.
S5 E2Cloudy with a Chance of Murder
Welcome back.
Thank you.
What are you... you doing something different?
No. why?
I don’t know. Something’s changed.
I figured out what’s different. You’re having sex.
Excuse me?
Oh, don’t try to deny it. There’s a glow. I know that glow. So, who’s the guy?
Yeah, Beckett, who’s the guy?
Nobody that you would know, okay?
Are you sure? I know a lot of guys.
I’m sure.
Isn’t she the reporter that shows up to cover stories in her bikini?
I don't... is... I didn’t notice that.
You wanna try it again? Make it sound a little more convincing?
No. I’m good.
Do you actually buy this whole ‘just friends’ thing?
It’s possible.
Yeah, it’s possible. But it’s not probable.
I don’t know. You and I were just friends for four years.
Except you were trying to sleep with me that whole time.
What?
Mmm hmm.
Excuse me, it was you that was trying to sleep with me.
What?
Don’t tell me you dress like that for Esposito.
What’s for me?
Nothing.
(At the same time.) Don’t worry about it.
The direct tox monitor, of course.
You have no idea what that is.
No, not a clue.
Hey, guys. I found out who Mandy-
Yo. Are you…wearing makeup?
No.
Really? Because an hour ago, you and I both had black eyes, and now you don’t.
No, this is not makeup. This is tinted moisturizer.
[Sarcastically] Oh.
Jenny just stopped by. She happened to have some in her purse and I figured since… [stutters a bit] Fine. Just judge all you want.
Look, I tried everything to get away. I-I hid under the counter. I was hiding in the bathroom. At one point I tried to pull a Cape Fear up under the piano.
Yet when I walked in, she was straddling you on the couch
Right? She’s like the Terminator of sexpots.
What is that even supposed to mean? She just keeps on coming?
What? That’s… [grabs her arm and pulls her to the side] The only reason I went on the date in the first place was because you made a big deal about being single in public.
Castle, I have 12 missed phone calls from Chip the sportscaster because he thinks that I’m single, but that doesn’t mean that I’m gonna let him mount me in a Speedo just to prove it.
You didn’t tell me he called.
Really? You’re gonna play the jealousy card now?
Okay, look, I’ll make it up to you, all right? Whatever you want.
What I want is not to have this image of a bikini-clad woman stuffing her boobs in your face. So good luck with that.
Don’t I even get credit for figuring out who the killer is.
No!
Can we say that we will talk about dating other people, but we won’t actually date other people?
Yeah, I can…No, I can do that.
Okay, good. ‘Cause I have a gun and you don’t really have a choice.
Clearly, I don’t have a choice.
S5 E3Secret's Safe with Me
CCastle
My little girl is going to college.
Seems like just yesterday you were checking under the bed every night promising her that monsters aren’t real.
CCastle
I lied. Monsters are real. They’re the boys in her freshman dorm.
Oh, speaking of which, before Alexis leaves, don’t you think you should have then, um... talk with her.
CCastle
You mean the sex talk? Mother, I covered that ages ago. I learned so much.
I mean the you and Beckett sex talk.
CCastle
Mother, Beckett and I haven’t...
Save it. Richard. I knew the morning I walked in here and the poor girl was hiding in the closet.
CCastle
How did you know that?!
Mothers know these things. But I don’t think you want Alexis to walk in unannounced and find you and Beckett... out of the closet. And by out of the closet...
CCastle
I know, I know what you mean by out of the closet.
So, don’t you think you should tell her?
Tell me what?
Even on the worst days there's a possibility for joy.
Yeah, well, the key to Wendy’s murder might be in that junk and we’re about to lose it. There’s no way I can get a warrant in time.
May not have a warrant, but I got something better. Checkbook.
MManager
Auctions are cash only, hotshot.
Oh, no. What are we gonna do? Is 2 grand enough?
What are you doing with 2 grand in your pocket?
I’m a best-selling author. Why wouldn’t I have 2 grand in my pocket?
