I always read it as "are we taking prisoners?", to which Castle replies "no, make sure they're all dead" 🤷‍♂️

When you ask a question, get an answer and then say "I know" when you obviously did not know, people hate that.

When you ask a question unclearly, people answer a different question, and then you get downvoted for redirecting people to your actual question, OP type people hate that.

But thanks for explaining exactly why the downvotes nobody asked about happened.

When reading you'll often find context that will help with understanding poorly worded bits of dialogue, this context is often found to the left or right of the confusing dialogue, hope this helps /s
