- [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.
- Richard Castle: Come on, what's the big deal? It'll be fun.
- Kate Beckett: Look, Castle, what we do here, this is... mine. And just because they wanna invade my privacy, it doesn't mean that I have to help them do it.
- Richard Castle: Okay, well, that may be, but... these cameras, they're not going anywhere. They're gonna see something. I just want them to see what I see.
- Kate Beckett: [Seeing a guitar with blood on it] So, that's the murder weapon.
- Richard Castle: Mmmm. It's a Gibson Les Paul. '59 flame top, if I'm not mistaken. And I'm... rarely mistaken.
- [Playing to the camera, he smiles then drinks from his coffee cup. He almost chokes and takes a painful breath, whispering]
- Richard Castle: It's hot.
- [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.
- Richard Castle: [arriving at the crime scene and playing to the cameras] Richard Castle, novelist. My latest, "Frozen Heat", in stores now. Have you met, uh, Nikki Heat's inspiration, Detective Beckett?
- Kate Beckett: [hiding her face with her coffee cup] Lanie, what else do we know?
- [last lines]
- [Giving a 'come hither' motion with her finger to the camera man, and leading him down the halls and around corners]
- Kate Beckett: Come here. Come on... Look, I know I'm not the easiest person on the planet to get to know, but you guys have been patient, and I've got something to show you. It's a secret. Actually, Castle doesn't even know about it. It's, it's this place that I love to go to. And once you see it, I think you guys will understand me a whole lot better.
- [She opens a door and motions him inside]
- Kate Beckett: Go ahead. All the way in the back.
- [It's a supply cabinet. The camera swings around in time to see Beckett stick out her tongue and then close the door and lock it]
- Cameraman: [Off camera] Heeeyyy! Hey!
- Kate Beckett: Lanie's got something she wants us to see.
- Richard Castle: [to camera] Lanie? Who's Lanie?
- [he gives Beckett a look urging her to play to the camera]
- Kate Beckett: [awkwardly] Uh... Lanie is our medical examiner and she works at the morgue. And she's got information that she wants us to see and we are keeping her waiting.
- [leaves quickly]
- Kevin Ryan: [to camera] Still a little stiff.
- Richard Castle: It's early. She could tighten that up. But she's getting better.
- Caroline: I was a kid... Drifting. Campbell promised me meaning... a spiritual focus. But in return he took away everything.
- Kate Beckett: Caroline, are you worried about these cameras? 'Cause if you wanna have them gone...
- Caroline: No. Mmm-mmm... I want the world to know what a monster this man is.
