Kate Beckett:  Say something reassuring .
Richard Castle: There are thousands of break - ins in New York City every year .
Kate Beckett: This _ one _ feels different .
Richard Castle: Well , that does n't mean that it is . Montgomery worked hundreds of cases . Just because this guy was after files does n't mean he was after your mom 's case .
Kate Beckett: Then why is our thief dead ? You know those people that Montgomery was involved with , he said that they wanted me dead . That I was getting too close , and he said that he was gon na give his life in order to protect mine , and they still tried to kill me . I wake up sometimes and I think to myself " How the hell am I still alive ? " . It 's like I 'm just waiting for that other shoe to drop . What if this is that other shoe ?
