Punked

**Writer**: David Grae

**Director**: Rob Bowman

#### DUSTJACKETS BLURB

When a man turns up dead wearing only his boxers, it appears he may have caused a few others to lose their shirts in the financial markets. The truth may be even weirder, and more archaic, than that.

### Quotable quotes

* LANIE: *(referring to rust)* Based on the amount of it, I'd say that bullet is 200 years old.
CASTLE: A 200-year-old bullet can only mean one thing. Time-traveling killer.
* CASTLE: *(talking about his "smorelet")* Aha. I knew you'd reconsider. It's kind of like David Hasselhoff. First you're repulsed, but then, strangely, you're drawn in.
ALEXIS: No. Still repulsed.
* CASTLE: How do you know when you're in love?
BECKETT: All the songs make sense.
* CASTLE: So I wear boxers, what do you wear? Thong? Cheekies? I told you mine! Bloomers? Granny panties? Commando?
* BECKETT: Could you *please* stop saying "time ripple"?
CASTLE: Yeah, it does sound kind of dirty, doesn't it.
* CASTLE: Unless time travel causes rust...
BECKETT: On your brain.
* BECKETT: Maybe giant moths killed him and took his clothes.
CASTLE: *(distracted)* Could be.
* CASTLE: Did you say something about giant moths?
BECKETT: Nope.
* CASTLE: Manslaughter it is.
BECKETT: Yup.

### Just the facts

* At least one of Ryan's sisters has a son old enough to enjoy the Captain Underpants books.
* Lanie doesn't drink coffee, but she does like bearclaws.
* Castle wears boxers. Beckett is not saying a word. (The Thomas Nash line is sold by Debenham's, and they do indeed have silk boxers that go for about $30 USD.)
* In high school, Kate dated a grunge rocker who smelled of wet flannel and clove cigarettes for seven months just to pay her father back for asking about him.
* Beckett's answer to 'how do you know if you're in love' suggests she has been. Maybe Castle had to ask because he hasn't? (Unless, of course, it's a girl thing...and Ryan.)
* Alexis isn't the only one who gets a boyfriend in this ep -- Beckett has also been quietly dating a handsome mysterious stranger named Josh, although it's not known at this time (2nd Jan 2011) for how long.
* The running joke about Esposito's injuries was a way to give Jon Huertas time off to do some outside work.

### Oops

* The plate on the DeLorean reads LFM-26W1, but Esposito calls it in as "J-L-D…"
* The address on the victim's NY State driver licence is 251 W 86TH Street, New York; however, Beckett says that he lives in SoHo.
* In the scene where Alexis is holding an iPad towards the end, there is a microphone clearly visible in front of her.
