Quotes 

• Javier Esposito : You really didn't know about this PI thing?

  Kate Beckett : No, I mean, I saw him spending hours on the computer, but I just figured he was playing TerraQuest.

  Javier Esposito : Mm-hmm... So, what're you gonna do?

  Kate Beckett : Well, there's not much that I can do. Look, I know that he's doing this to spend time with me, and I don't wanna hurt his feelings. I dunno, maybe it'll be... harmless.

  Javier Esposito : Harmless? This is Castle we're talking about.

• [Castle has gotten his PI's license] 

  Javier Esposito : Is he serious?

  Kate Beckett : I think he is. And I think I'm getting a headache.

• Captain Victoria Gates : A private investigator?

  Kate Beckett : I swear, sir, I had nothing to do with this.

  Captain Victoria Gates : Yet he showed up at your crime scene! Let me remind you, the D.A. was very explicit. Ever since he worked that case for the mob, Mr. Castle can no longer take part in our investigations.

  Kate Beckett : He's not. I mean, technically he's conducting his own investigation. And since he's licensed, legally, there's not much that I can do to stop him.

  Captain Victoria Gates : Okay, Detective. But let me be perfectly clear. You cannot help him, either.

  [loudly to Ryan and Esposito in the bullpen] 

  Captain Victoria Gates : And that goes for you too.

  Javier Esposito : I'm sorry?

  Captain Victoria Gates : No sharing of information, no granting access. Nothing. Or there will be hell to pay. Understood?

  Javier Esposito , Kevin Ryan : Yes, sir.

  Captain Victoria Gates : Good.

  Javier Esposito : [imitating Beckett as she approaches]  "How much trouble can he be?"

• Kate Beckett : Castle, the PI's license doesn't change anything. The D.A.'s still not gonna let you investigate with us.

  Richard Castle : Oh, you see, that's the brilliant part. I'm *not* going to be investigating with you. No! Instead I'm gonna conduct my own parallel investigation alongside yours.

  Javier Esposito : Nice try, but you know that's not gonna fly.

  Richard Castle : Actually, it will fly. You see, as a...

  [grabs license from Esposito] 

  Richard Castle : ... licensed PI, I'm legally entitled to investigate this case on behalf of my client.

  Kevin Ryan : Ah. So who's your client?

  Richard Castle : I'm sorry, that's confidential.

  Javier Esposito : I'm sorry, so is this investigation.

  [Perlmutter hides the victim's face with his clipboard] 

  Kate Beckett : I'm afraid he's right. PI's license or not, this crime scene is closed. So... you're gonna have to go.

  [Castle stands up, Esposito points towards the door, and he sees they're not going to budge] 

  Richard Castle : That's fine. I've already seen everything I need to here, anyway. I'll conduct my investigation... elsewhere.

  [turns and starts to leave] 

  Kate Beckett : Elsewhere where?

  Richard Castle : I'm sorry, that's confidential too.

• Kate Beckett : Okay, but he knows nothing about the case or the victim. So, how much trouble can he be?

  Javier Esposito : [spotting Castle]  We're about to find out.

  Kate Beckett : Castle, how did you get here?

  Richard Castle : Well, it turns out the subway really is faster than morning traffic.

  Kate Beckett : No, I mean, how did *you* get *here*? To the school where Shana worked?

  Richard Castle : Oh! Well, the neighbors didn't know very much. I figured her work would be your next stop.

• Richard Castle : I know our victim took a trip to Radnor University, I just have no idea why. I hacked into her social media accounts...

  Alexis Castle : Wait, you know how to hack into social media accounts?

  Richard Castle : Hacking might be overstating it. Her password for everything is "Sparkles," her dog's name. Point is, without police resources, the best I can do is go through her friends' online *posts* and look for some connections to Radnor University.

  Alexis Castle : Are there any?

  Richard Castle : Just one thing, but it happened fifteen years ago. I have no idea if it's even relevant. I just wish I knew what Beckett had.

  [phone rings] 

  Alexis Castle : Mmm!

  Richard Castle : [answers phone]  Richard Castle Investigations.

  Kate Beckett : [on speakerphone next to Ryan and Esposito]  Hey, babe. Just checking in. Whatcha doing?

  Richard Castle : Oh, just hanging out at the office. How about you?

  Kevin Ryan : He has an office?

  Kate Beckett : Uh, just wondering how your day's going?

  Richard Castle : Good. Really good, actually. How about yours?

  Kate Beckett : Yeah, mine's good too. Uh, really, really good.

  Richard Castle : That's good. Great. I should have said, "Great." Mine's great.

  Kate Beckett : Great. That's...

  Richard Castle : Okay, so... I'll see you tonight.

  Kate Beckett : Uh, see you tonight.

  [hangs up] 

  Kate Beckett : He knows something.

  Alexis Castle : She has something.

  Javier Esposito : And you have to find out what.

  Richard Castle : And I'm gonna find out what.

• Kevin Ryan : You know what would really suck? If Castle solved this case before we did.

  Kate Beckett : And *that* is not possible.

  Kevin Ryan : Yeah, but what if he did?

  Kate Beckett : Well, then we'd never hear the end of it.

  Javier Esposito : Uh, no. *You* would never hear the end of it. You're the one who has to go home to that guy.

• Kate Beckett : According to TSA records, Shana took a 4:30 flight to Boston two days ago.

  Javier Esposito : What was she doing in Boston?

  Kate Beckett : She doesn't have any family or friends there. And I spoke to the school, she wasn't there for work. But she paid for the trip in cash, like she was trying to keep it secret.

  Javier Esposito : It says here that her return flight from Boston landed yesterday at 6:00 pm.

  Kate Beckett : Just hours before her murder that night. Meaning this mystery trip might have something to do with her death.

  Javier Esposito : Yeah, and look at this. According to her cell records, right after she landed, she made a call to the New York Ledger's news desk.

  Kate Beckett : What's a preschool admissions officer doing calling the Ledger's news desk?

  Javier Esposito : Maybe she uncovered something that she thought was a story. But I checked with them over there, nobody remembers talking to her.

  Kate Beckett : We gotta find out what she was doing during that trip.

  Javier Esposito : Yeah, we do. Before your husband does and makes us all look bad.

• Javier Esposito : Why would Shana be meeting with an attorney?

  Kevin Ryan : I don't know, but a high-powered attorney, a secret trip paid for in cash, and a phone call to a news desk... This is starting to smell like conspiracy.

  Javier Esposito : Well, I hate to admit it, but baby Castle over here might be right.

• [discussing Shana's secret trip to Boston] 

  Javier Esposito : Why would she be looking at fifteen-year-old incident reports?

  Kevin Ryan : I bet Castle knows.

  Javier Esposito : Are you kidding me? There is no way he's ahead of us on this.

  Kevin Ryan : Hey. He got to the morgue before us, and that lawyer.

  Kate Beckett : Ryan, he is resourceful, but he is not that resourceful.

  Kevin Ryan : He got you to marry him, didn't he?
