You want to know what the trick is? It's confidence. You believe what they're saying and they'll believe it too. Doesn't matter how many misses, 'cause it's the hits that they'll remember.

S1 E15Unfinished Business
So what? Kusen has a secret and he's gonna kill Rand so he doesn't reveal it? That'd be good.
No, you wanna kill someone, you don't get out and throw them in a van. You don't get out of your seat.
NNate
All right, Kusen needs Rand for his psychic abilities. That's why he's being so secretive around his wife.
So let me get this straight. We did such a good job of convincing Rand was really a psychic that we got him kidnapped.
NNate
Which means we have to find him, rescue him, and then, you know, take him down.
We need more boxes.
And a lot of luck.
Yeah, well, I think we used up all our luck on finding this place.
Wha—Hold, hold, hold on, man. You know what? It ain't luck, okay. Finding the perfect place to end a treasure hunt is a testimony to my intellectual prowess.
[Eliot drops a box on his foot]
Ow!
What? It's baby clothes.
It says 'books', man!
[grinning] Does it?
[As Kusen and Rand are being arrested]
They do make a cute pair, don't they?
NNate
Let's see, we got, we got assault, kidnapping, and burglary for our friend, Kusen. Garden-variety fraud for our psychic friend, Dalton Rand. Any way we can get them in the same prison?
That could be arranged.
So all the people who thought he could talk to their loved ones on the other side, what's to stop them from falling for the next Dalton Rand?
NNate
Not a thing. [Walks away]
Then why do it?

There was a part of me that knew it wasn't real, but I didn't care. I just…missed Mike so much, I wanted to see him again so bad.
NNate
You will see him again. Maybe it'll be a look. [gazes at her pregnant belly] Maybe it'll be a gesture. Maybe it'll be the way he spreads peanut butter on a slice of bread. But when you see it, you'll know, and you'll say 'that's Mike'. And you know what, that's a miracle that no one could ever sell you.
JJodie
Thank you, Mr. Ford.
[After she and her brother get up and leave the table]
And now I see why you do it.
"He who sells miracles will have the Devil knocking at his door."
What is that, a proverb?
Fortune cookie.
Wha…?[Parker looks at him in disbelief]
What? It started with "He who."
. . .
[later, after the con is finished]
He who looks for hidden money shall find it. If he is also a thief.
NNate
Mrs. Bonanno. I'm, um, Nate Ford. I just heard—
WBWendy Bonanno
I already gave my statement.
NNate
No, I'm not a policeman. Um, I'm in the private sector. Your husband and I are colleagues.
WWendy
I appreciate you coming down here, but it's not—Nate Ford? He talked about you.
NNate
He did?
WWendy
He said you helped him with some cases and he wanted to buy you a drink…and then arrest you.
NNate
How does business work with you, Mr. Culpepper? Frankly?
MBMayor Brad Culpepper III
Well, frankly, those who are with me from the beginning, they are at the front of the line. Those who are with me after the election, they're in the back of the line. And those who are against me…they are ground to dust.
I don't know. Culpepper doesn't strike me as the type to order a hit. Especially on something like a graft case. What's the big deal, you know? You get caught, you go on a two-day with your wife, you cry, you get re-elected.
Yes, it's the American way.
Exactly.
[Nate shares his idea for the con]
Baseball?
NNate
Yeah, we're gonna steal this ballpark. [pause] And then the team. Not necessarily in that order.
[After the sloppy theft of their 'plans']
Worse thief ever.
NNate
Amateurs
NNate
All right. Good news, bad news.
Good news?
NNate
The mayor's hooked. We're in the pinch.
Bad news?
NNate
I think we lost Eliot till the playoffs.
I left early, man. Huh? Bottom of the ninth.
Excuse you, rudeness. I'm explaining the con. It's very complicated.
Really? The mayor gives us a check and we deposit it in some company you connected back to him and it looks like he's embezzling from his campaign funds. [Give him a fake gasp and then turns to Nate] Bottom of the ninth, man. I had to walk off a single, man. Crowd goes nuts.
That's—that not all there is, okay? We got—there's—there's the Bonnano thing. We got—
What? We give Bonnano's notes to the newspaper, man. [to Nate again] They named a sandwich after me at T.J. Philbman's.
Ah.
Ooh
Huh?
I give it to you, man. A sandwich is pretty cool.
[As Hardison is remote-controlling his van to its destruction]
I have always been and forever shall be your friend.
