- Captain Edmunds: This is Kyle Ford. He's the air marshal on this flight.
- Richard Castle: I saw this guy. He's sitting in my row.
- [looking out into the fuselage, he notices Ford isn't there]
- Richard Castle: He... At least he was sitting in my row. What does this have to do with the air marshal?
- Captain Edmunds: An hour ago, he sent a text to his field office about a security issue on board this aircraft.
- Richard Castle: What kind of security issue?
- Captain Edmunds: [reading] "Possible threat to Oceanic Air Flight 57. I'm investigating." That's all Ford said in his text.
- Richard Castle: And what did he tell you?
- Captain Edmunds: Unfortunately, I haven't been able to talk to him. Mr. Ford is missing.
- Richard Castle: Missing?
- [he nervously looks out into the fuselage to make sure no one heard him]
- Richard Castle: [lowering his voice] Missing? How could he be missing? Did you search the plane?
- Debbie Parker: From front to back.
- Captain Edmunds: Given the circumstances, I've been instructed to lock myself in the cockpit and continue on to Heathrow.
- Richard Castle: Terrorism protocol.
- Captain Edmunds: Precisely. Right now, with the air marshal unaccounted for, you're the closest thing we have to law enforcement on this plane.
- Richard Castle: Which in itself is cause for concern.
- Kate Beckett: You've gotta be kidding me. The air marshal is dead?
- Richard Castle: Not just dead, but bonked on the head. Murdered. And there's more.
- Kate Beckett: Wha- There's more?
- Richard Castle: Kyle Ford's holster is empty. His gun is missing.
- Kate Beckett: Okay, so, uh, we have to assume that the killer is armed.
- Richard Castle: And they may have another agenda, taking hostages, hijacking the plane. FYI, this is not the relaxing London getaway I had planned.
- Alexis Castle: Actually, I made plans for tonight.
- Richard Castle: Wh- What plans? With who?
- Alexis Castle: Oh, some friends who are doing their semester abroad in London. We're meeting at a pub in South Ken.
- Richard Castle: Yeah, but the, um... Sherlock Holmes Society is convening at 221B Baker Street. You don't want to miss the actual home of Sherlock Holmes.
- Alexis Castle: You do know he's fictional, right?
- Richard Castle: Yes, but his address is real. And I will be speaking. And if you're not there, who will be proud of me?
- Alexis Castle: I'm always proud of you, Dad. But I've heard you speak a million times. I know what you're gonna say.
- Richard Castle: That is improbable.
- Alexis Castle: You'll say you don't believe in writer's block, that you wrote your first novel to impress a girl, that reading great writers inspires you, and drinking with them inspires you to beat them on the bestseller list.
- Richard Castle: Okay. Clearly, I need to develop some new material.
- Richard Castle: Maybe there's another way to know what Ford was doing at the back of this aisle. How long have those two gentlemen been taking selfies?
- Jim Kogut: The honeymooners? Since their first Pimm's cup. They're adorable.
- Richard Castle: I have to talk to them.
- Debbie Parker: What should we do?
- Richard Castle: You have the hardest job of all. Pretend like everything's normal.
- [first lines]
- Richard Castle: "To Farrah, may the greatest mysteries of your life lie ahead. Richard Castle"
- Farrah Darwaza: Thank you so much.
- [giggles]
- Farrah Darwaza: You know, our pilot is also a huge fan. You think you could sign a book for her, too?
- Richard Castle: I'd love to. All I ask iin return is that she deliver us to Heathrow safely.
- [last lines]
- [watching laptop app and seeing Castle's flight has landed safely]
- Kate Beckett: [sighs] Okay.
