Castle (TV Series)

Deep Cover (2014)

Susan Sullivan: Martha Rodgers

Quotes 

• Martha Rodgers : A little unsolicited advice...

  Richard Castle : Do you give another kind?

• Jackson Hunt : Let's run this just so we know we're all on the same page. Richard, what do you do?

  Richard Castle : As soon as the Kingfish network goes online, I log in, I download the list.

  Jackson Hunt : You don't just log in, you gotta be first.

  Richard Castle : Right.

  Martha Rodgers : But why does he have to be first?

  Richard Castle : Because it locks out the Iranians from downloading the list.

  Kate Beckett : Right. And while Castle's downloading, I'll track the signal using the Wi-Fi analyzer on my phone.

  Martha Rodgers : You can find a spy on your phone?

  Richard Castle : Mother, there's an app for everything now.

• [Beckett discovers Castle and Martha harboring his father, a wanted fugitive] 

  Martha Rodgers : [sighs]  Katherine, I want to say this isn't what it looks like, but it is.

• Martha Rodgers : Richard, look... the only thing we really know about him is that we don't know him. Me? I had... one night with him. You? A day in Paris. Lean on the people you trust. Call Katherine. Tell her what's going on.

  [someone knocks on their door] 

  Martha Rodgers : I'll get that.

  Richard Castle : And what if he's telling the truth?

  Martha Rodgers : [off-screen]  What if he isn't?

• [having been shot and talking Castle through removing the bullet] 

  Jackson Hunt : Okay, now make an incision through the wound, about an inch long.

  [Martha hands Castle an X-Acto knife] 

  Martha Rodgers : Here you go.

  Richard Castle : Okay. About an inch.

  [Jackson grunts as Castle makes the incision] 

  Richard Castle : Okay.

  Martha Rodgers : Ooh.

  Jackson Hunt : All right, now here comes the fun part. Carefully, and I do mean carefully, pull the slug out.

  [Martha hands Castle a pair of pliers] 

  Jackson Hunt : But do me a favor. Try not to make *my* nose light up, huh?

  [Martha laughs sarcastically] 

  Richard Castle : Right. Okay.

  [he digs into the wound for the bullet] 

  Richard Castle : I think I have it... I got it.

  [he pulls the pliers out, empty handed] 

  Martha Rodgers : Oh!

  Richard Castle : I don't got it. Sorry.

  Martha Rodgers : Careful, Richard.

  Jackson Hunt : Now that you know how not to do it, why don't you try the other way?

• Jackson Hunt : Well, there was a massive breach at the CIA. Someone hacked the files containing the identities of our deep-cover operatives.

  Richard Castle : Do you know who?

  Jackson Hunt : No. But it was an inside job at the highest level. That's why they called me. Because I'm outside. My orders were to find the mole and recover the files.

  Kate Beckett : What does any of this have to do with Ted?

  Jackson Hunt : Ted was one of my best guys. I recruited him to help me find Gemini.

  Martha Rodgers : Gemini?

  Jackson Hunt : Code name for the mole. He was planning on selling the DCO list. But we couldn't find him. If these files get out, the consequences will be very real. Then yesterday we had a breakthrough. Ted identified the buyer, and he signaled me to meet so he could tell me who it was, but, uh...

  Richard Castle : But Gemini got there first. *He* killed Ted.

  Jackson Hunt : Leaving me SOL. Until you told me about the Iranian rial.

  Kate Beckett : You... You told him about the rial?

  Richard Castle : I...

  Jackson Hunt : Ted left that as a fail-safe message... about the buyer.

  Richard Castle : Right. It's old-school spy craft. But... Gemini knows all the old tricks, so he took that coin to throw you off his scent.

  Jackson Hunt : Yeah. Once I found out the Iranians were involved, I traced Ted's trail back to an apartment on East 38th Street across from the Iranian mission. Only Gemini got there ahead of me.

  Richard Castle : And he ambushed you.

  Jackson Hunt : From a rooftop across the way. Soon as I opened the door, all hell broke loose. But I'm good at hell. And I made my way back to the car, but he was right on my tail. I had to drive into the East River just to get away from him.

  Kate Beckett : Look, this is an *incredible* story and I can see where Castle gets his talent, but it doesn't mean that any of what you said is true.

  Jackson Hunt : You don't believe me?

  Kate Beckett : Mm-mm.

  Jackson Hunt : Well, turn on the news.

• Jackson Hunt : Martha, hand me the needle and thread.

  Martha Rodgers : Uhh... Okay, here it is. And here we go.

  [gives them to Hunt] 

  Martha Rodgers : All right. You've stitched yourself up before, I take it?

  Jackson Hunt : At least this time I got a needle.

• [last lines] 

  [discussing Jackson Hunt] 

  Martha Rodgers : Think we'll ever see him again?

  Richard Castle : I wish I knew.
