Seamus Dever: Kevin Ryan

Quotes 

• Kate Beckett : Are those... cronuts?

  Kevin Ryan : Yeah, have one.

  [she takes one, then grabs one of the boxes from his desk] 

  Kevin Ryan : Hey!

  Kate Beckett : They're not both for me.

  Kevin Ryan : Yeah, sure they're not. Where's Castle this morning, anyway?

  Kate Beckett : He's writing down everything he can remember about the ninja fight and hopes to use it for his next book.

• [leaving a Japanese gentlemen's club they were just thrown out of] 

  Javier Esposito : It cost you 6K *and* we got nothing to show for it.

  Richard Castle : I wouldn't say that.

  Kevin Ryan : You mean, besides lipstick marks on your shirt.

  Richard Castle : I actually got a lead in there that's gonna blow this case wide... Whoa! Wait. Lipstick marks? On my shirt? Where? Beckett'll kill me. *Oh, my God*! I didn't call! You guys, Beckett *is* going to kill me.

  [Castle pulls his phone out of his pocket; before he can dial, a throwing star sticks into the screen] 

  Richard Castle : Ninja attack.

• Kate Beckett : A financier? What's Jade doing trying to get close to a guy like that?

  Javier Esposito : Don't know, but I ran Saito's name though the system. It was flagged by Organized Crime.

  Kate Beckett : Organized crime like Yakuza?

  Javier Esposito : Yep. The rumor is he's high up on the chain in the Izumi clan out of Okinawa. His legitimate businesses are just suspected fronts for money laundering, drug trafficking, and extortion.

  Kate Beckett : So, what's a ballet dancer doing going after a guy like this? What could she possibly want from him?

  Kevin Ryan : Well, odds are whatever it was got her killed.

• [having learned a consular officer is an impostor] 

  Kevin Ryan : Do you remember when she said that she spoke with Jade's parents in Japan?

  Kate Beckett : Mmm-hmm.

  Kevin Ryan : Well, Jade didn't have any parents. Turns out she was raised in an orphanage from age ten.

  Kate Beckett : Jade was orphaned at age ten? How did that happen?

  Kevin Ryan : Well, I tried to find out, but prior to the orphanage, can't find any record of Jade Yamata, if that's even her name. Not a birth certificate, nothing. It's like she didn't exist.

  Richard Castle : Sounds like someone was trying to cover up Jade's history.

  Kate Beckett : Yeah, well, we're gonna have to dig up whatever they were trying to hide. If we know her true identity, it may lead us to why she was killed, so find out everything you can on Jade. Start with the orphanage. Castle and I'll talk to Perlmutter and we'll see if her body can tell us who she really was.
