Castle · Season 7
Give me a minute, and let me slip into something special, okay?
Right.
[as Beckett leaves, Castle hurries to the bed]
Cause there's something special I got you for Valentine's Day. I approve.
It's even better.
[re-enters the room naked]
It's invisible.
I’m not talking to Mr Castle. He’s a jerkface.
[To Kate.] Okay, you know what, he’s the jerkface.
He's eight years old. You've been here a day and a half, and already you have a nemesis?
[Looks quizzically at Beckett] I'm Emily. Who are you?
I'm Kate. I'm Mr. Castle's... friend.
Do you like to play Princess with him?
Er... sometimes.
Are you two getting married?
One day.
[Emily walks out looking disappointed]
...Maybe you should give this medal to her [Natalie]. I didn't do much to deserve it.
Are you kidding? You put up with Castle for two whole days.
I realize you consider yourself the adult of the family...
For good reason.
For very good reason. But... but part of being an adult is realizing you can't always protect the people you love.
Okay.
Okay.
Being an adult really sucks.
Yeah. And you've spent way too much time having to be one. So... [steps out and comes back in with a scooter] I'm ordering you to be a kid.
Don't you think I'm a little old for that?
I am not too old for it, so you are definitely not too old for it.
You think that you've won? You haven't. Everyone else has.
What do you mean, everyone else?
Everyone who ever bullied you, who ever hurt you, belittled you, who ever thought you were weak and worthless and small. And you know what, Adam? They were right.
No they weren't. I am not any of those things.
You're all of them, and worse.
[voice rising] I am what people made me.
You were born this way, or your mummy made you. But Tim Witherspoon, and the rest of the kids at that school, they didn't break you. You were already broken. They only sensed what you were, and what you were about to become. So you know what? In a way, their bullying wasn't enough.
[close to tears] How can you say that? I'm the victim here.
And you're always gonna be a victim. You think that hiding behind a username and killing is going to change that? That won't get you respect. You're always gonna be the same pathetic loser that...
[shouting] I am not a loser!
And when you abducted Kent and Warren, I bet the two of them looked at each other and thought, "Are we being punked here?"
Believe me, they didn't.
They think it's a joke.
They're afraid, they're - they're terrified by...
They're sharing a laugh right now about you.
They are not laughing!
She just got him to say that they're together.
They're laughing. They're laughing right now.
Well, not for long. That clock will count down to zero, and their screams will echo off the tiled walls as they take in their last breath of stale air, and then they'll both fry.
Tiled walls and stale air? That was how he talked about the locker room at his school.
Where Witherspoon put him on the video. He's bringing this thing full circle! What was the name of that high school?
Harding High. But they moved to a new campus. The original building is shut down.
[Hammers on screen] Beckett!
It's like It's A Wonderful Life. Every time your phone rings, a victim gets their wings.
I called your mother. She refused to come and get you.
Oh. Well, she always did believe in tough love.
That doesn't seem to have worked out in your case.
You know, I keep trying to figure it out. How do you live with the man who's lost two months of his life and left you at the altar? How do I live with... the pain I know I've caused you? How do we get past this?
I wish I knew.
I think I have the answer. We just do. So, Katherine Beckett, will you marry me?
Beckett [puzzled smile]: I've already said yes.
Will you marry me right now?
[Beckett's face lights up with joy.]
The moment that I met you, my life became extraordinary. You taught me to be my best self, to look forward to tomorrow's adventures, and when I was vulnerable you were strong. I love you, Richard Castle, and I want to live my life in the warmth of your smile and the strength of your embrace. I promise you I will love you. I will be your friend and your partner in crime and in life. Always.
The moment we met, my life became extraordinary. You taught me more about myself than I knew there was to learn. You are the joy in my heart. You are the last person I want to see every night before I close my eyes. I love you, Katherine Beckett, and the mystery of you is the one I want to spend the rest of my life exploring. I promise to love you, to be your friend and your partner in crime and life till death do us part, and for the time of our lives.
I am your maid of honor. I haven't had a carb in months just in case I had to put that damn dress back on.
And you look great.
Kate, save the flattery. You owe me dinner. I'm picking the restaurant and we're ordering all the desserts.
I'm sorry. Without the sheriff's cooperation, there's only so much we can do.
So, we're just gonna let him get away with this?
Kind of like how we let you get away with not inviting us to the wedding?
Well, at least you were invited to the champagne toast.
Sorry, sir.
Oh, no, no, no. I'm sure it was Mr. Castle's fault.
I don't know if it comes with the room, but there's a naked cowboy shaving in our bathroom.
We gotta find this guy.
But how? We're under cover. I can't just flash my badge and get people to talk.
Exactly. Which is why we don't approach this like cops. We approach this like writers.
So we procrastinate and make stuff up?
But if Whitney was searching for the gold and the killer tracked her, there could be clues.
You keep assuming that the gold's still out there. Don't forget, Clyde and Dutch were looking for it. They might have found it.
Not if they didn't have those old maps that Whitney had.
You just wanna go after the gold.
Of course I wanna go after the gold! It's gold!
