Castle, P.I. (2015)

Seamus Dever: Kevin Ryan

Quotes 

• Kevin Ryan : Victim is Shana Baker. According to her pay stub, she worked at Eastbourne Preschool. Point of entry is a window in her bedroom. Somebody broke the glass.

  Kate Beckett : She would've heard that, and based on her body position, it doesn't look like she was trying to run away.

  M.E. Sidney Perlmutter : No, she wasn't. No signs of defensive wounds or struggle. Just a single gunshot to the chest.

  Kate Beckett : Which means our killer was in here when she came home.

  M.E. Sidney Perlmutter : How a woman so astute could *choose* to marry Castle.

  Kevin Ryan : Ah, come on, Perlmutter, admit it. You miss him, too.

  M.E. Sidney Perlmutter : Please. Just knowing he's not gonna be here makes coming to work sheer bliss.

  [laughs] 

  M.E. Sidney Perlmutter : All things considered.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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?

• Kevin Ryan : Oh. How'd it go with Castle last night? Is he ahead of us or behind us?

  Kate Beckett : Uh, we're definitely on top of him.
