20 x 02 The late Shaft /

Air Date: Apr 12, 2010

When Castle appears on a late-night talk show to promote his book, Heat Wave, legendary host Bobby Mann (guest star Tom Bergeron) leans in during a commercial break and whispers, “They want me dead.” When Mann dies later that night, seemingly of natural causes, Castle has to convince Beckett that there was foul play. During the investigation, Castle is seduced by a Hollywood hottie (guest star Kelly Carlson), who was the other guest on Bobby Mann’s show the night he died.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Als Stargast des Late-Night-Talkers Bobby Mann erlebt Castle doppelt Aufregendes: Während ein hinreissendes Starlet ihn mit ungebremster Zuwendung beglückt, flüstert ihm der Gastgeber zu, sein Leben sei in Gefahr. Als Bobby am nächsten Tag stirbt, ist es sein Mageninhalt – Balsamico – der den Weg zu einem medizinisch versierten Mörder weist. Derweil überzeugt das hemmungslose Starlet den Autor, dass sie die Idealbesetzung für ‚Nikki Heat‘ ist. Und Beckett? Sie ist entgeistert
