Susan Sullivan: Martha Rodgers

Quotes 

• [searching for the victim's 'mystery woman' at his hotel suite] 

  Javier Esposito : NYPD. Police.

  [they quietly look around and see someone under a blanket on the bed] 

  Javier Esposito : Psst.

  [whispering] 

  Javier Esposito : There's a ginger in the bed.

  [Esposito turns the lights on and the startled person gasps and sits up] 

  Richard Castle : [shocked]  Mother?

  Martha Rodgers : Richard?

• Martha Rodgers : [sighs]  I, um--I got tired waiting for Zane last night, so I just, uh, crawled into bed. Never could I imagine what happened to him.

  Richard Castle : Mother, why are you--

  [sighs] 

  Richard Castle : Why-- Why--

  [Esposito pokes him] 

  Richard Castle : Why were you in Zane's bed?

  Martha Rodgers : Because he was late for our session.

  Kevin Ryan : What kind of session?

  Javier Esposito : Is that what they call it?

  Richard Castle : That's enough.

  Javier Esposito : Okay.

  Richard Castle : Mother, are you saying you were sleeping with Zane Cannon?

  Martha Rodgers : Oh, drop the gavel, Richard! I was his acting coach, certainly not his mistress. The poor boy was out of his depth trying to play Hamlet, so he was referred to me.

• Martha Rodgers : Hi, darling. I know you're busy, but is Richard here?

  Kate Beckett : [sighs]  No, I thought he was at dinner with you.

  Martha Rodgers : [chuckles]  Yeah, well, he didn't show up, and his cell went right to voicemail. So I figured he must be here, immersed in the case.

  Kate Beckett : Well, he's probably out playing with his fancy new credit card, but let me check in on him. Alexis put new tracking software on my laptop. I'll just ping his cell.

  [she types on computer] 

  Kate Beckett : There we go... Mmm, there you go. 7th and 53rd.

  Martha Rodgers : That's the parking garage across from the restaurant where we were supposed to meet an hour ago.

  Kate Beckett : Uh... You know what? Just... give me a second.

  [dials her phone] 

  Kate Beckett : Hi, uh, this is Captain Beckett. I need a unit at 53rd and 7th.

• Javier Esposito : We got security footage from the garage, and it's not good.

  [playing the tape] 

  Martha Rodgers : [gasps]  Oh, my... Oh, my God.

  Kevin Ryan : The Escalade is registered to a shell corp that's a known front for El Oso.

  Martha Rodgers : But you can track the SUV, can't you?

  Kate Beckett : We can, but they probably swapped cars at least once by now, and with a two-hour head start, we're looking at a hundred-mile search radius. And we still have no idea what we're looking for.

  Martha Rodgers : There must be something you can do. This... this is Richard's life.

  Kate Beckett : YOLO.

  Javier Esposito : That's cold, Beckett.

  Kate Beckett : No, uh, Castle's new credit card. The kidnappers left his cell phone by the car. But he might still have his wallet with him. And the new YOLO card has an upgraded RFID chip in it.

  Kevin Ryan : And if they passed within range of a tollbooth or a gas station...

  Kate Beckett : Then it'll pick up the chip and we'll be able to track his movement.
