Well, looks like our stalker was telling the truth. Prelim shows that the blood on his overalls was his. Sorry, partner.
Huh. Well, at least grabbing the guy up wasn’t a total bust.
I don’t know. Seems to be the definition of a total bust.
S5 E7Swan Song
This all points to one thing.
Drugs.
Drugs… Drugs.
That’s an interesting theory, but that’s pure speculation.
Actually, it’s not. Pure speculation would be Swan purchasing thermonuclear technology to have a scientist make him an amplifier that went all the way to 12. This, musicians buying drugs… [Into the camera]…that’s just Monday morning’s crossword.
Element of surprise is key. See, I can be circumspect. Folks would be lost without me. [Walks toward a door]
[Laughing into the camera] He went the wrong way.
You were writing songs for him?
SSSam Spear
Yeah. Here, look. [Grabs the song paper and hands it to Esposito] I already started. I got pretty far on that one.
Let me see that. [Looking it over] I do like the vocal line on this.
You read music?
What, you think ‘cause I’m a cop, I can’t sing?
No, I think you can’t sing because I’ve heard you sing.
That karaoke machine was busted. I’m gonna sing for y’all later
So John Campbell was in town…with a few days to kill. [Grinning at the camera] See what I did there? That was good. Use that. Not the part where I said, ‘See what I did there.’ Cut that out. Do a hard fade to black. [Snaps fingers] Musical sting.
[As Beckett leads the cameraman]
Look, I know I’m not the easiest person on the planet to get to know, but you guys have been patient, and I’ve got something to show you. It’s a secret. Actually, Castle doesn’t even know about it. It’s this place that I love to go to. And once you see it, I think you guys will understand me a whole lot better. [Opens a door] Go ahead. All the way to the back.
[Camera walks into a janitor room and turns about to see Beckett give a raspberry and then shut the door]
CCameraman
Hey! Hey!
S5 E8After Hours
I’m just saying, there have been worse dinners.
Like what?
Well, the dining scene from Alien comes to mind.
Honestly, a creature bursting out of my dad’s chest might have lightened the mood.
Well, this looks like the work of a pro.
Someone had a priest assassinated? It’s like a Vatican conspiracy. Ah. It’s The Da Vinci Code.
Nun walks into a precinct... It’s like the beginnings of a bad joke. [Begins fixing his tie]
You wanna borrow a comb of something?
Shut up.
You know what this reminds me of? Watching one of those body-switching movies where the guy looks like a grown man, but he’s actually 12.
Hey! Let me tell you something. Catholic school is like combat. Unless you’ve been there, you don’t know.
Uh, I have, been there, in combat. And it’s way worse than some old lady.
Captain Gates? Captain Gates.
What are you two doing down here?
Well, after I got a call from Detective Esposito, I became very concerned, so I checked in with-
JJim
I can’t reach Katie. What’s the situation?
There’s no cause for alarm. It’s just that we’re having trouble pinpointing their precise location-
Oh, please stop. You are a terrible actress. There is no way that anyone would’ve called me if they weren’t really worried, and I wanna know what is going on here.
Okay. They went to interview a witness and we lost contact. But we’re doing our best to find them. So I suggest you both go home and I’ll call you the second I know more.
I am not leaving until I know what has happened to our children.
JJim
Neither am I.
All right, where is that fancy coffee machine that Richard bought for the precinct? Over there?
The break room.
[The two walk away and Ryan approaches Gates]
[Whispering] I don’t want to have to tell those two that I lost their kids. Tell me you have something on Dolan.
I also found a box of tools and a broken CB radio. But I think I can get it to work.
LLeo
Great. You have an engineering degree or electronics experience?
No. But I’ve seen every episode of MacGyver.
LLeo
[To Beckett] Nervous?
No. I'm, uh, I'm just trying to send a message. They can hear static when I press the button, so I thought I'd send an SOS, but...
LLeo
It's okay to be worried.
[About Castle] He's gonna be fine. He's, um, he's smart and he's resourceful, so...
LLeo
Larger than life, from another world.
How did you...
LLeo
Please, we're in a basement. Sound carries, I heard.
That was a personal conversation.
LLeo
About how different you two are, and that worries you, right?
I don't want to have this discussion right now.
LLeo
And those differences that are so charming now, they may end up just pulling you apart.
Who are you, Dr. Phil?
LLeo
No, Just a guy that may die tonight realizing that life's short. Trust me. Living your life for now makes a lot more sense than worrying about the future.
S5 E9Secret Santa
We're putting up the tree the other day, Jenny says to me, "It just doesn't feel like Christmas without kids." She wants to try. But I come to work, I watch the news, every day... it seems like the world's falling apart. How am I supposed to bring a kid into that?
The world's always falling apart, bro. Since the beginning of time. But having kids, making a family, that's what keeps it together.
Hey, so I heard from Air Traffic Control, but you’re not gonna like the news. They have no record of anyone flying over the park during the time our guy hit the ground.
How is that even possible?
Santa had his sleigh in stealth mode
My mother-in-law is a licensed pilot, as she keeps reminding me. Part of a larger effort to make me feel inferior. I’m sorry. Did I just say that out loud?
Sounds like she’s staying with you, Captain?
One day soon, your in-laws will visit, too. And when they do, think hotel. [walks away] Oh, Lord, I hate the holidays.
[sotto voce] Yet another quality she has in common with the Grinch
