Seamus Dever: Kevin Ryan

Quotes 

• Richard Castle : [finding Alan with a gunshot wound in the middle of his forehead]  This is my fault. I forced the superhero mantle onto him. I filled his head with crazy ideas of being invulnerable, and then, like some superhero Icarus, he flew too close to the sun. Alan, I'm sorry. I am so sorry. I let you down!

  [someone hands him a handkerchief] 

  Richard Castle : Thank you.

  Alan Masters : Don't mention it.

  Richard Castle : Alan! You're alive?

  Alan Masters : Shh. Not so loud. I've got a splitting headache.

  Kevin Ryan : I'll, uh, call an ambulance?

  Alan Masters : Relax. I'm fine. I just need a couple of Advil.

  [seeing Castle's face] 

  Alan Masters : What? What is it, Castle?

  Richard Castle : [gesturing to his forehead]  You...

  Alan Masters : Did I get shot in the head?

  Richard Castle : Right in the middle! I mean, how did you even... wait, that means you've seen your killer. Who... who was it?

  Alan Masters : You're never gonna guess.

  Javier Esposito : [approaching with Gwen in handcuffs]  Yo. I took her down just before she put a bullet in Mike the chemist.

  Gwen Parker : [seeing Alan is still alive]  Why the hell won't you die?

  Richard Castle : [to Alan, as Espo leads Gwen away]  I never thought she was right for you.

• Kevin Ryan : Any idea how our boy, Alan, is still with us?

  Kate Beckett : Uh, no, but Castle has a theory.

  [cut to Alan's hospital room] 

  Richard Castle : You... are a superhero.

  Alan Masters : No, I'm really not. I'm just an ordinary guy.

  Richard Castle : You *were* an ordinary guy, Alan. That's how most superheroes start out, mild-mannered weaklings, and that's you!

  Alan Masters : Wow. Thanks.

  Richard Castle : Relax. It's all to maximize your transformative arc.

  Alan Masters : If I agree with you, will you leave me alone?

• Kate Beckett : Hey, where are we on the waste management company?

  Javier Esposito : Well, it's a new entity called Bullseye. We're not sure who's running it, but rumor is, it's a new player on the scene.

  Kate Beckett : I- I don't know. Electrocution and poisoning doesn't sound like the mob.

  Javier Esposito : No.

  Kevin Ryan : Unless they're trying to keep a low profile. And the best way to stay off our radar is to fly under it.

• Richard Castle : [answers phone]  Hey, Ryan.

  Kevin Ryan : We ID'd the owner of Bullseye Waste Management. He's a guy named Horatio Spate.

  Richard Castle : That's a good supervillain name.

  Kevin Ryan : This is not a joke. Spate is suspected of executing over a *dozen* people. I texted you his picture, just to put him on your radar. Whatever you do, don't leave the loft.

  Richard Castle : Don't leave the loft. Got it.

  Kevin Ryan : [hears laughter]  Wait, what's that noise?

  Richard Castle : Uh...

  [to avoid the question, he checks the picture Ryan texted; as he turns around, he sees Spate heading towards Alan and Gwen] 

  Gwen Parker : [to Alan]  Like actually electrocuted, like unconscious?

  Richard Castle : Crap.
