Castle

Previously on "castle"...

You're a good candidate for the opening

on the a.G. Investigative team.

Opportunities like this come along once in a lifetime.

We're in this relationship,

but we never talk about where we're going.

But if I get that job... Then you're gonna have to.

I didn't tell you about it because you would be upset.

Yeah.

Yeah. You're damn right I'm upset.

You get this job, you move to D.C., I'll never see you.

That's pretty much the end of our relationship.

What are you gonna do?

I don't know, dad.

This job... It's what I want.

I know you say you love her, but, darling,

is it possible that the reason you have held back

is because somewhere deep down inside,

you don't think this is gonna really work?

I've been doing a lot of thinking about us.

I've decided I want more.

We both deserve more.

And whatever you decide,

Katherine houghton Beckett...

Will you marry me?

Oh, my god!

Oh, my god. You're proposing.

Okay. You're surprised. Of course I'm surprised.

I thought you were breaking up with me.

By offering you a ring?

Well, you just... you seemed so serious.

Yeah, of course I'm serious.

This is the most serious thing I've ever done. (Gasps) Good.

So that's a "yes"?

No, wait. "No"?

No, no, no, not... not "no." So "yes"?

I... Not "yes"?

No. Not "not yes."

I... I... (Stammers)

You do know how this works, right?

There's something that I have to tell you.

I got the job.

In D.C.?

Castle, I love you.

But this is my shot.

And if I don't do this, I'll always regret it.

Look, if this changes anything for you,

if this changes the way that you feel...

Kate, I'm not proposing to you to keep you here

or because I'm afraid I'm gonna lose you.

I'm proposing because I can't imagine my life without you.

If that means when things get difficult,

we have to figure them out,

then I'm willing to figure them out,

assuming you're willing to figure them out with me.

Well, in that case,

Richard Edgar Alexander Rodgers castle,

yes. (Inhales deeply)

Yes. I will marry you.

It's big.

No, you just have remarkably tiny fingers.

We're gonna be able to make this work, right?

We're gonna be great.

D.C. is gonna be great.

I promise.

(Woman) H-hey!

Look out! (Grunts)

Federal agent!

Come out with your hands on your head!

Put your weapon on the ground.

Do it! Okay. All right. Nobody needs to get hurt.

Okay?

I'm gonna put it down and I'm gonna slide it over.

Okay?

Okay, here it comes.

Aah!

You okay, ma'am?

I'm fine.

Beckett!

Agent Beckett?

Congratulations.

Because of you, the chechens now have our nuclear launch codes.

Nice job. (Applause)

Damn it.

You didn't find it odd that the hostage wasn't struggling?

She had a gun held to her head.

And she didn't cry out for help. Why?

Because she didn't wanna give away her accent. Fine.

But the intel said that the operative worked alone.

And that's the point of the exercise.

Intel is sometimes wrong.

You have to use your judgment, your instinct,

because the analyst that's gathering that intel...

he's not the one that's gonna be catching a bullet.

That's gonna be you, or worse, me.

Now step up your game.

Mccord!

Hostage alley?

Yeah. (Chuckles)

Don't feel bad. Everyone screws that up.

Should've seen it. Hey, look,

it's better to die in training than in the field, right?

It's better not to die at all. Yeah. (Chuckles)

Listen, a few of us are grabbing a beer tonight.

You wanna join?

Thank you, Hendricks. I would love to,

but with the caseload and the training,

I haven't had a weekend off in ages,

and I've actually got plans.

Not anymore.

We just received a priority 7 from the a.G.

There's been an incident...

a potential national security breach.

Ah, the prodigal son returns. (Door closes)

How was the west coast book tour?

It was exhausting.

12 cities in 11 days.

I signed my fingers to the bone.

You poor boy. Mm. Mwah.

I'm gonna go change.

I'll let this guy fill you in on all the details.

He's best with rhetorical questions.

Is Alexis back? Ah, yeah.

She came in this morning.

Oh, I thought she was in Costa Rica until...

next week. Surprise!

Daddy?

Hi!

Oh. Mm. Come here, you.

How was your trip?

Oh! Amazing.

Just wait till you see our pictures.

"Our" pictures?

Hey, al, where do you keep the matches?

I wanna light these sage bundles.

Surprise again.

Dad...

Pi.

Pi, dad.

Hey, Mr. C.

Mm. Awesome to meet you.

Pie. Like the dessert?

Without the "e." Like the Greek letter.

But personally, I feel

the whole spelling thing just stifles creativity.

The "spelling thing"?

Let's let my dad decompress. Matches are in the kitchen.

Okay.

He's... he's not staying here?

Oh, he is.

N-not in her room.

Hey, you get to have that talk.

I have a class. Ta-ta.

Uh, Alexis?

Could I talk to you a second?

Give him a chance, dad.

I really like him.

And he's brilliant. (Pots clang loudly)

Found 'em!

We'll talk about this later.

Mm-hmm.

Uh, make sure you put some, uh,

blankets out on the couch for pi if he's staying?

Want him to be comfortable... (Cell phone rings)

And visible.

Please tell me your flight is not delayed.

I don't think I can bear another minute not seeing you.

I'm sorry. I'm not at the airport.

You're not coming, are you?

I just got put on a priority case.

Kate, we haven't seen each other in six weeks.

Trust me. This was not my call.

I'm just as upset as you are.

No, I know. It's...

I'm the one who canceled last time.

Beckett, let's go.

Look, I gotta go.

I will make this up to you, I promise.

All right, I'm gonna hold you to that.

Okay. I love you.

Love you, too. Bye.

Bye. (Beep)

What are you smiling about?

Whoa.

Can you at least finish taking that off before you shoot me?

Cas-castle?

Uh... What are you doing here?

I know I promised to respect your job,

but I couldn't go another week without seeing you.

Here? You... you shouldn't have come here. (Sets down gun)

So you want me to leave?

Oh, immediately.

Mmm. Mmm.

Mmm!

Oh, god.

Hey.

How long have you been up?

Hey. Couple of hours. I had some homework to do.

Maybe we should do some homework, too.

Mwah.
