    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      "A Deadly Game" was conceived and inspired by the experience of the cast and crew who, while shooting the pilot episode, all went together to see the live mystery/tour "Accomplice: New York" created by Tom Salamon and co-produced by Neil Patrick Harris.
    • Goofs
      Beckett kicks in the hotel door causing damage even though there is a hotel employee present who could have used a pass key. Kicking the door in is very dramatic but no police officer would do that when there is a better way to gain entry that does not make the department liable for damages.
    • Quotes

      Kate Beckett: Oh, yeah, and your ex-wife called. She said that you've been avoiding her because you're *late* delivering your manuscript of... "Naked Heat".

      [pause]

      Kate Beckett: That's a catchy title. When were you gonna tell me?

      Richard Castle: Well, I was waiting for the perfect time. It just never... happened.

      Kate Beckett: She's naked on the cover again, isn't she?

      Richard Castle: Kind of, yeah.

      Kate Beckett: That's great. No one's gonna make fun of me.
