Quotes 

• [approaching Castle, who is in locked up in Holding] 

  Jerry Tyson : They say dogs can smell fear. Did you know some humans can as well?... You reek of it.

  Richard Castle : Tyson.

  Jerry Tyson : I prefer 3XK. How long has it been since I left you and Detective Ryan in that motel room?

  Richard Castle : [yelling]  Somebody? Help! Somebody, I need some help in here!

  Jerry Tyson : They can't hear you. Or see you. I'm afraid I'm much more thorough than that.

  Richard Castle : You did this... You killed Tessa.

  Jerry Tyson : She's not my type. I prefer blondes, remember? Here's a much more believable story. *You* killed Tessa. It practically writes itself. After all, you commit murder every day in your mind for your books. It's not hard to imagine that you'd eventually... cross the line.

  Richard Castle : Why are you doing this, Tyson?

  Jerry Tyson : Four years, Castle. I gave up *four* years of my life planning the perfect vanishing act, so that the cops would stop looking for me, so that I could begin again, could begin killing again. So that I could taste that fear... again. Four years... You ruined it.

  Richard Castle : Well, if it's revenge you wanted, why not just kill me?

  Jerry Tyson : Where's the fun in that? No, no, no. It's more fun to destroy... you. Why do you think I let you *live* that night in the motel? People think it's killing that I like, but murder's just an act. It's all about... the anticipation, the planning. Watching you... and your daughter taking a walk... You and Beckett making love... Standing in your living room, being inside your life... knowing that I'm gonna take it all away from you... That's what I like.

  Richard Castle : You won't get away with this.

  Jerry Tyson : Oh, please. What are you gonna do? You're gonna tell them that I came here? You think that they're gonna believe the lies of a desperate man?

  Richard Castle : Beckett will.

  Jerry Tyson : Even if she does... she can't save you. There's no time. When the D.A. files charges tomorrow, they're gonna send you to Central Booking. The Tombs. I have people waiting... for you. You... will not last... the night... And that'll be her punishment.

  [turns to leave] 

  Jerry Tyson : Believing that you were innocent and not being able to stop it... It will haunt her for the rest of her life... Lucky for you... you'll be dead.

• [last lines] 

  Jerry Tyson : Castle! I got your girl! Are you watching? I want you to see this.

  [to Beckett] 

  Jerry Tyson : You think I'd let you live? After everything you've done? Castle! Come on, I want you to watch. I want you to watch as I take her life.

  [as he talks, Tyson drags Beckett with him over to her car; looking into the car, he sees it's empty] 

  Richard Castle : Over here.

  [Tyson turns around, and Castle fires Beckett's gun at him; he falls off the bridge into the water below; as they look down at where he landed, the scene fades into the recovery attempt the following morning] 

  Kate Beckett : They still haven't found the body.

  Richard Castle : They won't. He's not dead.

  Kate Beckett : Castle, what are you saying?

  Richard Castle : This was never about me. This was about him. Those initials in her datebook, he's not that careless. He wanted us to find that place. He wanted us on this bridge. Tessa's murder, the frame-up, all of it was to get us here so we could help him do what he couldn't do for himself. Disappear, so he can start killing again.

  Kate Beckett : You think he planned this?

  Richard Castle : How does a wanted man stop being wanted?

  [points to crime scene] 

  Richard Castle : It has to be public, and it has to be final.

  Kate Beckett : Do you know how crazy that sounds?

  Richard Castle : No one's gonna be looking for him anymore.

  Kate Beckett : You shot him. He's dead. It's over.

  [walks away] 

  Richard Castle : [to himself]  For now.
