Stana Katic credited as playing...
Kate Beckett
- Kate Beckett: [learning their victim didn't own a cell phone] What girl in her twenties doesn't have a cell phone?
- Richard Castle: Maybe she's Amish.
- Kate Beckett: Hey, Ryan, what do our victim's phone records show? Any phone calls to City Hall?
- Kevin Ryan: No phone calls at all because... Laura Cambridge didn't own a cell phone. Credit cards haven't been used in six months.
- Richard Castle: No cell phone and no credit cards? It's like she's from another century.
- Javier Esposito: Amish theory's looking pretty good, bro.
- Captain Victoria Gates: It seems our mayor will live to fight another day. Justice has prevailed.
- Kate Beckett: Not for Laura Cambridge.
- Captain Victoria Gates: We charged Mr. Norris with criminal facilitation. That's something.
- Kate Beckett: Jordan Norris is a pawn. I want the people controlling him.
- Captain Victoria Gates: Oh, it's a long game, Kate. Play it piece by piece.
- Richard Castle: Well, he has good reason to not turn over his coat.
- Kate Beckett: Yes, guilt.
- Richard Castle: A conspiracy. Is it so far-fetched? Maybe Laura found out about it and tried to warn him.
- Kate Beckett: Or maybe she and Weldon did talk. She confronted him with what she knew, and he killed her.
- Richard Castle: Hmm. I believe the conspiracy. I mean, I know Weldon.
- Kate Beckett: And Weldon knows you. Conspiracies, intrigue, that's you- your bread and butter. That's exactly the kind of story that you would respond to.
- Richard Castle: I'm sorry, are- are you suggesting he's playing me?
- Kate Beckett: I am suggesting that you consider the possibility.
- Kate Beckett: I have a procedure to follow. He didn't provide his coat willingly, so I'm gonna have to get a court order.
- Richard Castle: Whoa. Look, once word gets out that the NYPD subpoenaed his clothing in connection with embezzlement and murder, that man's career will be over.
- Kate Beckett: Not if he's innocent.
- Richard Castle: Are you kidding me? Kate, this is politics. Perception is reality. The truth won't matter.
- Kate Beckett: What am I supposed to do, Rick? I can't just stop being a cop just because it's inconvenient.
- Richard Castle: No, no, no, just... you can wait. All right? For something else, for another lead.
- Kate Beckett: For the coat to disappear? You don't think I don't know what's at stake here? Do you think I actually want to do this?
- Richard Castle: Then don't do it.
- Kate Beckett: I don't have a choice.
