Kevin Ryan : What's this all about, Castle?
Richard Castle : Guys, she wouldn't want you involved.
Javier Esposito : We're already involved. We're family, bro.
Kevin Ryan : And we know this is bigger than Vulcan Simmons.
Richard Castle : How?
Kevin Ryan : We canvassed around the hotel where Jason Marks was staying. The bell captain there said he had a meeting with this man. Look familiar?
Richard Castle : [he's handed a composite sketch] Yeah. That's Smith.
Javier Esposito : Captain Montgomery's friend, right? The one who kept Beckett safe by holding those files on Bracken?
Kevin Ryan : Until they got blown to high heaven.
Richard Castle : Yes, but Smith is dead. He died in hospital.
Javier Esposito : Maybe that's just how he wanted it to look.
Richard Castle : Smith did have the resources to fake his own death. And that is the only way Bracken would stop hunting him.
Kevin Ryan : Bracken? Is that was this is all about?
Richard Castle : We believe Vulcan's drug money was funding his campaign. We were trying to find a link, but maybe we got too close.
Javier Esposito : Well, how does Smith fit in?
Richard Castle : I don't know. But if he took the risk of showing himself, something big must be going on.

Captain Victoria Gates : Gentlemen, is there something going on here that I should know about?
Javier Esposito : What do you mean?
Captain Victoria Gates : Beckett's not a killer. I know that. But she's gonna go down for this. It's open and shut. Unless I can protect her. And I can't do that if I'm left in the dark. So if she's being set up, I need to know why.
Kevin Ryan : [sharing a look with Espo] Sir, how much do you know about Beckett's mother's murder?
Captain Victoria Gates : It's a random stabbing. Never solved.
Javier Esposito : There's a lot more to it than that.
Captain Victoria Gates : Tell me everything.

Kevin Ryan : We had to cut Vulcan loose.
Kate Beckett : What? What happened?
Kevin Ryan : His lawyers are claiming that it's not him in that photo. And since Vulcan doesn't have any vehicles registered to his name, we can't prove that it is.
Kate Beckett : Ryan, listen to me. You have to seize that town car before he gets rid of all of the evidence of the murder.
Kevin Ryan : Well, we would if we could, but the man has no paper trail. We can't even figure out where he lives, let alone where he keeps that car.

Kevin Ryan : Hey, Castle. Got a sec?
Richard Castle : What's up?
Javier Esposito : We were just canvassing, and we spoke to a witness who said they saw someone here last night.
Kevin Ryan : A woman sneaking out of the property. The witness described her as a tall brunette. "Too good-looking to be in this neighborhood."
[cut to the precinct]
Kate Beckett : Yes, I was there. But I didn't kill him. I thought about it, though.
Richard Castle : What the hell, Kate? We had a deal. Why didn't you tell me?
Kate Beckett : I knew you wouldn't let me go.
Richard Castle : You're damn right I wouldn't. It was reckless.
Kate Beckett : It was a calculated risk. I couldn't let Vulcan slip away. Only I didn't move fast enough.
Richard Castle : So, what happened last night?
Kate Beckett : He was in the shadows. He was waiting. It's like he knew I was coming. And we had words. That's it. He was alive when I left.
Richard Castle : And you didn't see anyone else?
Kate Beckett : No. Just him.
Richard Castle : Kate, you absolutely cannot tell anyone you were at that garage.
Kate Beckett : I know.
