Seamus Dever: Kevin Ryan

Quotes 

• [listening on a phone to Castle and Beckett run a theory] 

  Kevin Ryan : [to Esposito]  Do they know they're finishing each other's sentences?

• Kevin Ryan : Hey, check this out. Dysons found this in the kitchen. Said it's not theirs.

  [Ryan hands over a cell phone, and Beckett scrolls through stored photographs] 

  Kate Beckett : This is here.

  Kevin Ryan : Yeah. Weird, huh?

  Kate Beckett : Why would he take pictures?

  Richard Castle : So he could put everything back the way he found it.

  Kate Beckett : He was hoping nobody would know he was here.

  Richard Castle : Almost as though he was hiding?

  Kate Beckett : [handing the phone to Esposito]  All right, have a tech pull the memory card. See if any of the deleted photos can tell us who he is.

• Richard Castle : What kind of psychopath takes pictures of himself and his murder weapons?

  Kate Beckett : Some killers keep trophies.

  Kevin Ryan : In his defense, he did delete these photos.

  Javier Esposito : .45 with a silencer. Wonder what he had lined up for this.

  Kate Beckett : Nothing good. Has CSU pulled the prints off of the camera and personal effects?

  Javier Esposito : Yeah, they don't match Doug Bishop and they're not in the system.

  Kate Beckett : Which means he doesn't have a record.

  Richard Castle : Well, if Doug wasn't our squatter, what was he doing in the Dysons' apartment?

  Kate Beckett : He had to have known the squatter somehow.

  Kevin Ryan : If this squatter was so meticulous about putting things back, why'd he leave all this for us to find?

  Richard Castle : You're right. It-It makes no sense.

  Kate Beckett : [surprised]  What? No grand theatrical *theory* to spin for us?

  Richard Castle : Honestly, I, uh, got nothing.

• Javier Esposito : I ran background checks on everyone who knew the family was gonna be out of town. So far, everyone's come back clean, but I'm gonna keep digging.

  Kate Beckett : Anything on canvass?

  Kevin Ryan : A whole lot of nothing. No doorman on the building. None of the Dysons' neighbors noticed anything out of the ordinary.

  Javier Esposito : Shocker. I've lived in my spot eight years, I couldn't pick my neighbors out of a lineup.

  Richard Castle : Well, that's Manhattan for you. Nobody notices anything unless it affects them directly.

  Javier Esposito : [teasing him about the Ledger article]  Unless it's in the paper.

• Javier Esposito : Place is clear.

  Kevin Ryan : No gun, no ketamine, no mountain climbing equipment. There is nothing here.

  Richard Castle : Yes, there is. An icebox, circa late 1800s. You see, before the invention of modern household refrigeration, people used to keep their perishable items in a box that held ice, hence... an icebox.

  Kate Beckett : It's not an open house, Castle.

  Richard Castle : Oh, the Maitlans were very clever. They converted *this* into a cupboard, meanwhile, it's right next to their fridge.

  [opens the refrigerator and shrieks when a dead body falls out] 

  Richard Castle : [everyone rushes over to check the body] 

  Richard Castle : I did not expect that.

  Kate Beckett : Crescent-shaped scar.

  Richard Castle : Looks like there was some truth to Micky's tale, after all.

• Kevin Ryan : Why go through so much trouble to get in the Maitlans' apartment?

  Kate Beckett : Maybe what they wanted wasn't in the Maitlans' apartment. Maybe they were gonna rob someone else, but just needed access.

  Richard Castle : The audio/visual equipment.

  [Beckett, Ryan, and Espo all look at him blankly] 

  Richard Castle : Access.

  [drawing on the murder board] 

  Richard Castle : The Maitlans live on the second floor. Running perpendicular to them and whatever's below is the old dumbwaiter shaft. In "Gathering Storm", I had Derrick Storm climb up the dumbwaiter shaft to bypass the Czech assassin in order to save the Swiss ambassador's daughter. Maybe our bad guys are using the dumbwaiter to bypass the security of whatever's below them.

  Kate Beckett : Which would explain the ropes and the climbing gear. So what's below the Maitlans' apartment?

• [Beckett gets a phone call from Brad and walks a bit away for privacy] 

  Richard Castle : Who's Brad?

  Javier Esposito : Hmm. Must be Lanie's friend.

  Richard Castle : You know him?

  Javier Esposito : Yeah, met him once. Good guy... Fireman. He was in the FDNY calendar. Chiseled good looks, rock hard abs. Oh, and get this, once during a fire, after saving the parents and the kids, he went back in... for the puppies.

  Richard Castle : Did she just flip her hair?

  Javier Esposito : I'm telling you, bro... Puppies. Gets 'em every time.

  Kevin Ryan : Puppies.

• Kevin Ryan : It's ironic, you know. People put in vacation-holds to avoid break-ins.

  Richard Castle : Good use of irony.
