Richard Castle : We should get married. Tomorrow, first thing. Put all this behind us. What do you say?
Kate Beckett : Babe... there is nothing that I want more than to marry you, but not like this.
Richard Castle : You're not ready.
Kate Beckett : No. We're both not ready. We're looking for solid ground, and you think getting married is gonna fix the way you feel, and it won't. Look, I love you, and I'm here for you. But we need to get some distance from all of this. We need to get back to our own lives. Find solid ground together. And I promise you, I'm not going anywhere. We've waited this long, so let's just make it right.
Richard Castle : How long?
Kate Beckett : A month? No expectations, no pressure. Just us. And then we'll talk about it then.
Richard Castle : A month. It's a date.

Kate Beckett : [walking to the crime scene] That wasn't an interview, that was an ambush. And what were you thinking offering a quarter-million dollar reward?
Richard Castle : Genius, right? I don't know why I didn't think of it sooner.
Kate Beckett : Well, maybe because you knew it was gonna lure crackpots and opportunists. And instead of going after real leads, we're gonna be chasing thousands of half-baked tipsters playing the Richard Castle lottery.
Richard Castle : What real leads? So far, we've had nothing but dead ends. And I'm tired of not knowing. Now, to find a needle in a haystack, do we not first need a haystack?
Kate Beckett : Yeah, but not a haystack full of nutjobs.
Richard Castle : You saw that interview. No one believes me. But somewhere out there, someone knows where I was, and what I was doing.
Kate Beckett : You ready for this?
Richard Castle : A mystery I might be able to solve? It'll be a relief.

Richard Castle : [after talking to the victim's widow] You know, seeing her, I can't imagine what it was like for you. All those nights, not knowing.
Kate Beckett : I was lucky. You came back.
-
Captain Victoria Gates : Mr. Castle! Just what in the hell do you think you're doing?
Kate Beckett : Did you give that TV station the precinct number?
Richard Castle : I'm not gonna give 'em my home phone. That's private.
Captain Victoria Gates : The NYPD is not your personal secretary. Do you know how many man hours this little stunt of yours is costing us? The phones have been ringing off the hook.
Richard Castle : [to Beckett, ecstatic] Did you hear that? Ringing off the hook!
[he kisses Gates, full on the mouth, then takes the slips of paper in her hand]
Richard Castle : We have leads.
Captain Victoria Gates : [stunned into confusion] What just happened?
-
[while Beckett talks to the victim's employees, Castle plays around with toys in the room and picks up a Nerf gun]
Kate Beckett : Do you know why he was leaving early?
Marsha Stoller : No, he said he was taking care of some personal things. It sounded private, so I didn't ask. But maybe he told his assistant.
[on intercom]
Marsha Stoller : Matt?
[Matt enters the office after a moment]
Marsha Stoller : Did Mr. Williger ever mention to you why he was leaving early?
Matt Monroe : No. He was actually pretty secretive about the whole thing.
[Castle accidentally fires the gun, hitting Matt with a Nerf ball]
Richard Castle : You leave these loaded?
-
Javier Esposito : So, I checked with the vic's wife. The days that Mr. Williger claimed he was working late are the exact same days he was leaving work early.
Kate Beckett : So, that leaves about ten to twelve hours over at least a dozen days that he's unaccounted for. What was he doing?
Kevin Ryan : [approaching] I just went back through his phones and financials, and they are clean. In fact, they're too clean. From the time he left work on those days 'til the time he got home, there's no activity at all. No calls or purchases of any kind. Not even subway or cab charges.
Kate Beckett : So whatever he was doing, he wanted to keep it a secret from everyone. Why?
Kevin Ryan : What we could use right now is a crazy Castle theory.
-
Lanie Parish : Come on, Kate, it's his first case back after two months. You didn't expect everything to be back to normal right away.
Kate Beckett : No, Lane, it's just... It's just I-I want it to be "us" again, and it's like there's this shadow between us. Look, I-I'm choosing to trust him, in spite of all of the evidence. I-I just... I wanna believe that...
Lanie Parish : But you don't know if you can.
Kate Beckett : Yea... And he's... he's acting like everything is fine. We both are, but it's... it's not.
Lanie Parish : Maybe this reward he's offering is a good thing. Maybe it'll lead to the truth.
-
[after Castle meets a crackpot who claims to know what happened to him during his two-month absence]
Kate Beckett : So, what happened?
Richard Castle : I really don't wanna talk about it.
-
[Castle has discovered lead regarding his disappearance]
Alexis Castle : So, according to the JPEG's geotag, the photo was taken here, and this is the building you were coming out of.
Kate Beckett : Montreal Global Bank.
Richard Castle : What was I doing at a bank?
Alexis Castle : Dad, the key! The one sewn into your pants, when they found you. What if the bank is where it came from?
Richard Castle : A safe deposit box.
Alexis Castle : It's the right size.
Richard Castle : We need to get up there. This is the break we've been waiting for.
Kate Beckett : Okay, fine. We'll go this weekend.
Richard Castle : We can't wait for the weekend, we gotta go now.
Kate Beckett : I'm in the middle of a case.
Richard Castle : Fine! I'll go. Montreal's a short flight. I'll be there and back in a couple of hours.
Kate Beckett : No! Not after everything we've been through. You're not going alone.
Alexis Castle : She's right, dad. You can't go by yourself. I'll go with you!
Richard Castle : Yes. Yes! She'll go with me.
Kate Beckett : We have no idea what's out there. No idea who's out there. That's too risky.
Richard Castle : It's Canada. How risky could it be? And need I remind you, I'm a grown man. I don't need to ask your permission. That being said, please, please, please can I- can I... can I go?
Kate Beckett : Okay, fine. But only because I know you're not gonna do anything stupid if she's with you.
[to Alexis]
Kate Beckett : Don't let him do anything stupid.
Alexis Castle : Promise.
-
Kate Beckett : A memory card?
Richard Castle : Yeah, there were three of them, in three separate envelopes. One for Alexis, one for my mother, and one for you.
Kate Beckett : What's on it?
Richard Castle : Watch.
[Castle plugs the data card in and plays a video file]
Richard Castle : [on video] Kate, if you are seeing this... well, if you're seeing this, I'm probably dead. I-I want you to know I never intended to leave you. Not like this, not on our wedding day. But I-I- It wasn't my choice. I wish I could tell you what's going on. I wish I could explain. But just know that I love you. I've always loved you. Always.
[he turns the video off]
Richard Castle : The ones to Alexis and my mother were pretty much the same. Kate, what did I do?
-
Richard Castle : Any news on your undercover boss?
Kate Beckett : Every answer just leads to more questions. I've no idea what he was doing at that warehouse, or what this guy was doing with him. Actually, I was kind of hoping that you might be able to help me with a crazy theory.
Richard Castle : Sorry. I'm fresh out. How about a kiss?
Kate Beckett : Even better.
[they lean in to kiss; the dog suddenly starts barking and bolts out of the room]
Richard Castle : He was a nun in a previous life?
Kate Beckett : Yeah.
[they follow the dog out, where he is barking at a detective with a cuffed suspect and sniffing his pocket]
Richard Castle : Detective, what do you have in your pocket?
Detective : Evidence, from a bust.
[he pulls out an evidence baggie]
Detective : The girl was dealing.
Kate Beckett : So he's not just a dog. He's a trained drug dog.
Richard Castle : I think I have a crazy theory for you.
