Quotes
-
Richard Castle : [Josh blames Castle for Beckett getting shot] He's right, you know. This is my fault.
Martha Rodgers : Richard Castle, don't you dare blame yourself. You are not the one who shot her.
Richard Castle : No. But I put her in the crosshairs.
-
Martha Rodgers : [after Castle is contacted by Mr. Smith] Do you have any idea who he was?
Richard Castle : Just that he's a friend of Montgomery's. That he owed Montgomery his life. He said Montgomery sent him some files. Files that, if they ever got out, could hurt some very powerful people. They were using those files as a threat to keep Montgomery's family from ever being harmed. Beckett's safety was also part of the deal.
Martha Rodgers : But then they went after her anyway.
Richard Castle : He didn't get the files until after she was shot. He says she's safe now, on one condition. She can't go near the case. If she does, he can't guarantee her safety. If she digs, they will kill her.
Martha Rodgers : And this man, you believe him?
Richard Castle : I do.
Martha Rodgers : Then you have to tell her.
Richard Castle : If I do that, she'll put on blinders and run out into the line of fire. I can't let that happen.
Martha Rodgers : You are not going to change her, Richard. She's gonna keep going out there and she's gonna keep digging.
Richard Castle : Not if I stop her. She'll listen to me. I can steer her away.
Martha Rodgers : For how long?
Richard Castle : [firmly] I'm not gonna lose her again.
