castleland LANIE: He even bought her flowers. Who says romance is dead?
BECKETT: I do, every Saturday night.
LANIE: Well, lipstick wouldn't hurt. I'm just sayin'...
BECKETT: You got a C.O.D.?
LANIE: Not until I do the full exam, but this wasn't a stabbing.
CASTLE: Lack of blood around the wound suggests she was dead before it was inserted. No foam around the mouth, so we know she didn't drown.
LANIE: Oh, you're good.
LANIE: But what I though you might find really interesting is the fact that she had sex within the hours before her death.
BECKETT: Sex?
CASTLE : I’ll explain how that works later.
LANIE: That someone may have helped pull the trigger. Plus toxicology has his blood alcohol level at .28.
CASTLE: .28.
BECKETT: So he was drunk?
CASTLE: Way drunk.
LANIE: At .28 he may not have even been conscious.
LANIE: Damn, girl, you scared me.
BECKETT: Lanie, you’re surrounded by corpses.
LANIE: Yeah, I don’t expect the living after seven o’clock.
LANIE: No, no, no. Uh-huh. That one goes to the thrift store. Whoa, karma chameleon.
BECKETT: The girl at Sacs said that florescent is in.
LANIE: Well then she was on commission.
LANIE: That's only half the story. His fingernails were removed. And each finger presents signs of having been broken premortem.
BECKETT: Broken?
LANIE: If I had to guess, I’d say our doctor was tortured before he was killed.
