[CSHSC] 2x01 Deep in death

El caso: John Allen, 30 años, al parecer lo tiraron desde un edificio, a más a más tiene marcas de estrangulamiento. Después de que roben su cadáver y que lo vuelvan a encontrar descubrimos que John era un mulero, llevaba droga en su cuerpo. Las deudas de la víctima les llevarán a la mafia rusa. 

Trama secundaria: Castle empieza la promoción de Heat Wave montando una sesión de fotos en la comisaria que acompañará a un artículo para la revista Cosmopolitan. Beckett no está muy conforme con que Castle se lleve el mérito de resolver casos además de tener que llevar a una periodista a la escena del crimen. Beckett sigue un poco cabreada por haber vuelto a levantar lo del caso de su madre.

Aparecen  más datos del caso de Johanna Beckett, las otras tres víctimas estaban relacionadas con Johanna por trabajo (estudiante de su curso de abogacía, un abogado y uno de documentación). Al final del capítulo Castle intenta convencer a Beckett de reabrir el caso de su madre ahora que tienen pruebas.

Miscelánea:

-Aparición estelar de Lanie subida con una grúa a un árbol. Me encanta el personaje.

-Castle y Beckett vuelven a sincronizarse, buen inicio de temporada.

-Beckett se libra de la periodista y de Castle de una forma muy elegante.

-Meterse en una unidad forense con Lanie cabreada y un cadáver no parece muy buena idea.

-¡Roban el cadáver!

-Referencias a Superman y Lois Lane.

-Esposito y Ryan había apostado por si Beckett le dejaba a Castle volver a participar en el caso.

-Aparte de novelas, Castle también escribe teatro.

-¡Partida de poker con Stephen J. Cannel y Michael Connelly!

-Beckett sabe ruso gracias a que pasó un semestre en Kiev (¿Estudiando literatura rusa? Eso me suena de haberlo visto por algún lado). ¿De qué hubiera acabado si no se hubiese metido a policía? A Stana se le da bien eso de imitar acentos foráneos. 

-Ya hemos visto en más de un caso que los criminales son muy leídos, hasta la mafia rusa y todo. Todos han leído las aventuras de Derrick Storm, incluido el último.

-Beckett salva a Castle de los rusos. Castle 1- Beckett 2.

Amy: What's so special about world-famous mystery novelist Richard Castle? He's rich, he's handsome, and he's basing his next best seller on you. Tell me, Detective Beckett, what's it like being the inspiration for thrill-master Richard Castle's new character, Nikki Heat?
Beckett: On behalf of the NYPD, it has been a pleasure to offer Mr. Castle insight into the profession.
Amy: Given all his best-sellers, it's obvious Mr. Castle has tremendous insight into the criminal mind. I'm told in many occasions, his participation was essential to solving your toughest cases.
Beckett: Really? You were told that? By who?

Beckett: Not only does he have the bachelor party cop twins out there using him as a stripper pole while I make nicy nice with the press, but you know what he said?
Captain: No..
Beckett: He said he has been instrumental in helping us solve crimes.
Captain: Well hasn't he?
Beckett: That's not the point.

Esposito: Hey Beckett, how come you don't wear a uniform like that?
Beckett: Because I don't want to get paid in singles.

Castle: Hey! Can we talk about this, please?
Beckett: There's nothing to talk about.
Castle: Well, at least let me know what I can do to make it up to you.
Beckett: You can leave me alone.
Castle: Yes, I tried that and it didn't work. Hey! I can buy you a pony! 

Castle: It's raining men.

Lanie: Castle, what are you doing here?

Beckett: Don't worry. We're still mad at him.

Ryan: A guy in a tree, Mom and Dad bickering. Seems like old times.

Beckett: How's it going up there?

Lanie:  I got tree branches poking my boobs and spotlights shining up my booty.

Esposito: Could be worse. You could be wearing a skirt.

Lanie: When I come down, I'm gonna smack you.

Montgomery: Well?
Lanie: He'll live.
Ryan: What no brain damage?
Lanie: If he has some, it happened way before tonight and was probably self inflicted.
Castle: Ahh, good times.

Esposito: Who would steal a dead body?

Castle: Oh plenty of people. Organ harvesters, cadaverless med students, satanists, mad scientists looking to create their own monster.

Castle: Me? Scared? No way, come on. Now excuse while I change my shorts.

Castle: Dad where are you? Dad are you all right? Dad call us right away. Dad can I go see Fame with Owen on Friday? Your concern is touching.

Martha: They remade Fame and A Christmas Carol. Has Hollywood totally run out of ideas?

Castle: You want me to put on some music? Whenever they do this sorta thing on CSI, they always do it to music in poorly lit rooms...kinda reminds me of porn.

Castle: Tattooed Russian. Uh, there's another tattooed Russian. There's a whole table to tattooed Russians. Apparently, there are a lot more Russians in Chinatown than I thought.

Beckett:  Semester in Kiev between junior and senior year. Sometimes, when I am bored, I go to Glechik Cafe in Little Odessa and pretend to be Muscovite 
Esposito: That's kinda hot.


Beckett: Uh, I'm gonna go in there. And if I'm not out in ten minutes, you guys call for backup. Can I have my purse, please? 
Esposito: What're you gonna do? Lip gloss them to death?

Beckett: Something like that.

Castle: Thanks for saving my life.

Beckett: Ah, I was just trying to avoid paperwork. 

Beckett: What if I don't wanna know? Did you ever think of that? What if I'm not ready? What if the idea of catching my mom's murderer and then having to sit there and watch as he cuts some deal that puts him back out on the street in ten years makes me nauseous? You dredged up my past for you, Castle, not for me, and you're too selfish to even see it. The case is closed, Castle. We made a deal, and I expect you to honor it.
