Castle, Season 4

Martha:
You're rather upbeat, considering you said this was your last case with Beckett.

Castle:
That's because I am going out with a bang. I have one word for you, Mother. Zombie.

Martha:
Too much makeup?

Castle:
You look lovely. I'm referring to our victim being killed by one of he walking undead. And I mean that literally. A zombie. Security camera caught him in all his putrefying glory.

Martha:
Whoo. I don't suppose you downloaded this video, by chance?

Castle:
Absolutely not. That video is police property. It would be very, very wrong of me to get a screen grab of it and e-mail it to myself.

Martha:
Well, it'll be our little secret, darling.

[Both move over to the tablet on the nearby table]

Castle:
I'm actually surprised at your interest in this case, Mother.

Martha:
Well, I really do know the difference between a first-rate makeup job and actual decay. You wanna see some real zombies, check out the red carpet at the Tony Awards.

[Notices the chest piece to his Laser-Tag and picks it up]

Castle:
I thought I… I thought I put this away.

[Martha steps away from him. Castle notices and immediately realizes he's been set up]

Castle:
[Looking around] Where is she? Where is she?

[The chest piece beeps and Alexis swoops down on a hook-rope in her Laser Tag suit, cackling manically]

Alexis:
[Speaking villainously] You were a fool to buy my act yesterday, and now you've fallen right into my trap.

Castle:
[Dramatically] You will pay dearly for your treachery. [To Martha] Et tu, Mother? For luring me here?

Martha:
Why, whatever do you mean?

Castle:
Mmm. [Back to Alexis] That's my girl.

Alexis:
[Unhooking herself from the rope] So what's this about a zombie?
