Richard! Richard! I'm -- we were left here. Were you chained as well? I was taken from the building.

You can't find Alexis?

Are you here?

[Castle picks his way through the chained people around until he can stand next to his mother]

I'm here but no, I can't find Alexis. I was taken from the street, heading home from the station.

[She spots him, hands coming to his sides. Touching him will make this real. It will make this all real.]

I want to go back. I'm not supposed to be here. You aren't. We don't belo- [Her slow break is paused with mention of Alexis' name. She is who matters. If she's the only one who gets through this...No, Castle and Beckett will as well.]

Alexis...Could she be down here? [She begins to yell, failing to hold it together.] Alexis! Alexis! [To Castle, her resolve tumbling down.] Why is this happening?

[Castle comforts Martha as well as he can. The chains make it awkward but he puts his arms around her and nods]

We'll find her. I promise, we'll find her. I don't know why this is happening or why we're here but we'll figure it out.

Alexis. [A beat.] And Beckett. We have to make sure she's alright. We have to -- [This isn't working, this breakdown. So, she decides to act the part. Letting go of Castle, she hardens, her mouth crisping.] Let's find Alexis.

[Castle squeezes his mother's shoulders. This is the woman he knows. He nods at her.]

We'll find them both. Although knowing Beckett, she'll find us first.

Good point. As -- far as I can tell, [she says, while taking in her surroundings and from what we've...seen] Richard, I think we're in hell.

[Castle gives the area a good glance, including the chains and the chariot. He furrows his brow and considers this a long time before nodding.]

Dante's...if I'm not mistaken. Limbo. Good call, mother.

Of course you do. I didn't mean that.

I know, dear. I'm just ... bristly. So, the City has recreated Dante's Inferno?

At least limbo. I really hope they stopped there. [And they both know that this being the City, of course they didn't]
