Javier Esposito
- [Esposito and Castle are watching a sex video to verify a suspect's alibi]
- Captain Victoria Gates: This is inappropriate workplace behavior.
- Javier Esposito: This is evidence, sir. Our suspect's alibi hinges on this.
- Captain Victoria Gates: Oh...
- [watches video]
- Captain Victoria Gates: Oh!
- Kate Beckett: [approaching] So, does his story pan out?
- Javier Esposito: Yeah. It seems like he's covered for the entire time-of-death window.
- Captain Victoria Gates: I hope you're not going on the time-stamp on this video.
- [to camera]
- Captain Victoria Gates: That could be faked, you know.
- Kate Beckett: It's not the only thing on this video being faked.
- [Ryan and Esposito come in with a suspect]
- Kate Beckett: Hey, is that our stalker?
- Javier Esposito: Ex-stalker. He won't be seeing daylight any time soon.
- Kevin Ryan: Uh, LT, could you please take him to the interrogation room? Thank you.
- Javier Esposito: [to camera] You should watch from observation while I tear this guy apart.
- Kate Beckett: So, uh, we like this guy?
- Kevin Ryan: We found blood-stained overalls in his van. We sent 'em to be tested to see if they match the blood from our vic.
- Javier Esposito: Oh, they *match*. Trust me, bro.
- [to camera]
- Javier Esposito: You don't have to worry about this creep hurting anyone ever again. That's a gift from me to you. You're welcome, America.
- [after interviewing Sam Spear who was writing new music for James Swan, the victim]
- Richard Castle: Taking the music in a new direction but he didn't want the rest of the band to know... Of course. Swan was going solo.
- Javier Esposito: Makes sense. The director said that Swan was the creative force behind the group, that if he left the band they would flounder.
- Richard Castle: What if one of the other members found out and confronted him?
- Javier Esposito: They argued, and things got ugly.
- Richard Castle: Right. He wasn't about to stay. And they weren't about to let him play George Michael to their Andrew Ridgeley.
- Javier Esposito: Andrew who?
- Richard Castle: Exactly. So they pick up a guitar
- [to camera]
- Richard Castle: and wham!
- [Sam plays a dramatic chord to emphasize Castle's point. Castle and Esposito look over at him]
- Sam Spear: It's what I do.
- Richard Castle: [to Esposito] That's not bad.
- Javier Esposito: It gives it weight.
- Captain Victoria Gates: Hey, are we close on locating Campbell?
- Kevin Ryan: Well, his picture is out to all patrol cars citywide, and I've sent his photograph to all the hotels in our database.
- Javier Esposito: Yeah, but the trouble is he uses aliases in order to stay off the DEA's radar.
- Captain Victoria Gates: Well, why's the DEA interested in him?
- Kevin Ryan: The Church of Worldly Enlightenment isn't just your friendly neighborhood cult. It's also a twenty-acre pot farm, run by the 300-plus members, all for Campbell's personal profit.
- Captain Victoria Gates: Why don't the feds shut him down?
- Kevin Ryan: They've tried. Something about freedom of religious expression.
- Richard Castle: [to the camera] You know, Detective Beckett is not an unfriendly person. She's just got walls. Just, let's call them... layers. Layers upon layers of... uh, well, walls. But once you *scale* those walls, the effort is worth it.
- Javier Esposito: [whispering] Castle, keep your voice down please. All right? I've already had one guy bolt on me today. Element of surprise is key. See, I can be circumspect. Folks would be lost without me.
- Richard Castle: [laughing to the camera] He went the wrong way.
