Castle

Previously on "Castle"...

Who killed my mother?

No, Kate. I give you a name, I know you.

You'll run straight at him.

I might as well shoot you where you stand.

They are coming to kill you, and I'm not gonna let 'em.

I'm gonna end this.

Before Montgomery went into that hangar,

he sent a package to someone he trusted,

and it contained information

damaging to the person behind all this.

If they left you alone, the package

and the information inside would never see the light of day.

How do you know this?

In order for the deal to work, someone had to

make sure you weren't pursuing it.

How the hell could you do this?

Because I love you.

You cut a deal for my life like I was some kind of a child.

They went after Montgomery's files.

Why'd they break in to Montgomery's place?

They grabbed Montgomery's wedding album.

They're looking for someone (That he knew.?

You keep going with this,

they're gonna come for you, Kate.

Let them come.

Help!

You have no idea what you're up against.

Castle!

Beckett!

I'm putting you both on administrative leave,

effective immediately.

Keep it.

I resign.

Beckett, what do you want?

You.

You're a very hard man to find.

You're going to tell me where all that information is,

and after you do,

I'm gonna put Kate Beckett in the ground once and for all.

Made you a coffee.

So it wasn't a dream.

No.

You definitely... (Giggles) Weren't dreaming.

Uh, you were right.

I had no idea.

So you liked it?

Even the part where I...

especially that part. I loved that.

Good. Me too.

So...

You're on... on board with this, right?

It's not some

"oh, I-I quit my job, I almost died,

"I'm in crisis" thing?

Uh, no. Not for me.

Okay. Me neither.

Okay.

Good.

Good.

But I, uh...

I did just quit my job.

And I do have the day off.

I-I do... too.

Oh, really?

Huh.

So what would you, um...

Like to do today?

Um, I don't know. We could read.

We could watch TV.

Yeah. We could get something to eat.

We could do that, yeah.

Richard, I'm home!

Oh, aah! Od.

Oh, god.

You said she was at the Hamptons.

She was in the Hamptons.

She's not supposed to be here.

Darling, we need to talk.

Hide.

Hide.

Get in the closet.

No, I'm not going in the closet.

Get in oh! Closet!

What's going on?

I'm just...

Making the bed.

What are you doing here?

Well, I wanted to talk to you about

your daughter's many fine qualities...

Do we have to do this now?

And to remind you

that our Alexis is a paragon of...

of grace and good sense and maturity,

although where she got those qualities, I do not know.

Right.

I would just be so much more comfortable

having this conversation with my clothes on.

Oh. Well, yes. (Chuckles)

We'll meet you in the kitchen.

"We"? Alexis is here, too?

How about some tea?

Tea can be very soothing.

Oh, no. No tea.

No tea.

Alexis, are you hungover?

Well, the graduation festivities

got a tad out of hand,

and Alexis called me from the party.

I drove into town, I picked her up.

So please don't get angry, darling.

Well, why didn't you call me?

I tried. You didn't pick up.

Oh...

Right.

And... that's on me.

That's my bad.

Well, Alexis,

as your father, I have to say, that I am...

Deeply disappointed in you, and yet, oddly proud.

Mm-hmm. Oh, my head is pounding.

Oh, honey, I'll get you a couple of aspirin.

Aah. No!

No aspirin.

What do you mean? Why not?

It's her first hangover.

I mean, this is a milestone. It's a right of passage.

Don't you want to experience this in its...

in its fullness, UN... untrammeled by the... the relief

of over-the counter pain relievers?

No.

No. Okay. Aspirin it is, sweetheart. I'm sorry.

So...

Any progress on Beckett's shooter?

We searched his rental car.

We still have no idea where he was going

or even what his real name was.

But we did find out what he stole

from captain Montgomery's house.

The montgomerys' wedding album?

Why did Maddox want this?

I'm guessing he wanted this missing photograph.

It's possible he was after whoever was in it.

Have you been able to track it down?

Well, I've got Evelyn Montgomery bringing the negatives in.

But truth is, I'm a one-man band here.

I could use a few more investigators.

Well, you can take it up with the vice president.

'Ve al the vice president people to of the United States...

And about to lose the rest to traffic control.

So for right now, you're on your own.

You're putting yourself through this for nothing,

Mr. Smith.

We both know how it will end.

Don't make me take this to the next level.

Tell me where the file is.

Go to hell.

So you here to apologize for hiding me in your closet?

Look, let me explain.

When I heard her voice,

I reacted by instinct.

Yeah, like the instinct of a sophomore in high school.

Right.

No. Look, I...

wait a minute.

You're embarrassed about being seen with me.

Now that is not true.

Look, I... this... I...

okay... this is all just still very new to me,

and call me selfish,

but I want to keep what we have together

to ourselves a bit longer.

Still, it wasn't your finest hour.

No.

But maybe I could...

Make it up to you... Somehow.

I suppose since we know

that your mom's not gonna be barging in,

we could go for round two.

Well, technically, it would be round four, but...

She's stalking us. She knows.

Who is it?

Beckett, it's Ryan.

Oh.

Hide.

Quick. In the closet over there.

Yeah, I'm not getting in there.

Why? I hid in your closet. Why can't you hide in mine?

Whbecause... i?

Beckett, is everything fine.

Okay, maybe I'm not ready for anyone to know yet...

Right now.

Come on. How's he gonna know?

You're here, just like I was there.

Yes, yes, the difference being,

I have my pants on.

Or... or are you embarrassed to be seen with me?

Okay. Fine.

Just act normal...

If that's even possible for you.
