Scarlett Price (Castle)

Scarlett Price (Michaela McManus) is the main villainess from Castle episode 2.09, "Love Me Dead" (airdate November 16, 2009).
Scarlett Price is the secretary for noted ADA Jack Buckley, who was found murdered. It turned out that Buckley's murder was connected to a lucrative call-girl business, and it was revealed that Scarlett was one of the call girls when she appeared to Castle and Beckett while working one of her jobs. After Buckley's connection was exposed, Scarlett named John Knox as Buckley's killer, doing so despite her fears that Knox would kill her.
Scarlett appeared to Castle, beaten and bruised (assumingly) by Knox. Later in the episode, police (led by Beckett) stormed Castle's apartment, only to find Knox dead, having been shot by Scarlett. Scarlett claimed that she killed Knox because he was after her, but after the ordeal, Castle and Beckett figure out Scarlett's true role.
It turned out that Scarlett, Buckley, and Knox were all in the business together. Buckley had taken over the business from it's original boss, Dan Tonelli, and had hired Scarlett to help man the business in his office, which gave her access to every facet, and Knox to protect the girls and ensure payment, since he, as a public figure, couldn't be seen in connection to the call-girl business. Scarlett colluded with Knox to kill Buckley when he resisted their take-over. In order to avoid suspicion, Scarlett scapegoated Knox and killed him in cold blood to take over the business for herself. After the realization, Scarlett is shown running the business at a local restaurant when she receives a call from Castle. The villainess later turned around to see Castle with Beckett and police, and she was later arrested for (among other things) the murders of Buckley and Knox.
