Castle, P.I. (2015)

Penny Johnson Jerald: Captain Victoria Gates

Quotes 

• 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?"

• Captain Victoria Gates : Tread lightly, Detective. You're hunting big game here. And until we have a stronger case, we cannot afford to attract any attention. Which means, *Mr. Castle*, you cannot be involved in this at all, even in your private investigator capacity.

  Kate Beckett : Sir, we never would have gotten this far without...

  Richard Castle : Oh, no, actually, um... she's right. Rules are rules.

  [glances at watch] 

  Richard Castle : As a matter of fact, I shouldn't even be here right now.

  [leaves hurriedly] 

  Captain Victoria Gates : Well, that was easier than I expected.

  Kate Beckett : Yeah... Huh.
