[meeting with Dino to discuss the victim]
Richard Castle : So you're admitting he was your doctor?
Dino Scarpella : I don't like that word, "admit."
Richard Castle : Acknowledging?
Dino Scarpella : Wow, Rick, me and you... we had a good relationship once, huh?
Richard Castle : We still do, don't we?
Dino Scarpella : Well, I don't know. I need to know I can speak freely. That you're not gonna turn around and repeat what I say to the authorities.
Richard Castle : Dino... you can trust me.
Dino Scarpella : Eric was family. My cousin Bruno's kid. By a girl he had on the side. Bruno, he died in the slammer, so I looked after Eric. I sent him to the best schools. I didn't want him to work for the family, but... you wanna hear God laugh, you tell him... You tell him all your plans, right?
Richard Castle : So what happened?
Dino Scarpella : Few years back, one of my guys got shot. It happens. He would've croaked, but Eric stepped up. Next thing I know... Next thing I know, he's got a taste for the life. I need to find out who did this to him.
Richard Castle : Don't take this the wrong way, Dino, but I think you already do know.
Dino Scarpella : It was not Christopher.
Richard Castle : All the evidence says that it was.
Dino Scarpella : He was framed. He's innocent. When it comes to this, anyway. I know... because I was with him.
Richard Castle : Dino, if that's true, all we have to do is call Beckett. You can alibi him.
Dino Scarpella : Mmm, no, that's no good. See, at the time, me and Christopher, we were, uh, engaged in a sensitive business transaction.
Richard Castle : And by sensitive, you mean "illegal".
Dino Scarpella : I don't like that word either.

Dino Scarpella : I need you to prove Christopher's innocence and find Eric's killer. Hey, nobody connected's gonna talk to the cops. But if I vouch for you... give you access no cop has ever gotten...
Richard Castle : Dino, I don't know if I'm the guy...
Dino Scarpella : I could crack a joke about making you an offer you can't refuse. But you cannot refuse.
Richard Castle : Understood.
Dino Scarpella : Good.
Richard Castle : But if I figure out who did this, you *have* to let *me* bring the killer to justice. And by justice, I mean *legal* justice, not just taking him out. When the time comes, I need to call Beckett.
Dino Scarpella : We will swear by the code of silence.
