Hey, can you believe he fell for that old cell-phone gag?
Old cell-phone gag? I invented that right there and then. Rather brilliantly, I thought.
Oh, please. I've seen that done a dozen times.
What do you mean? Where?
On TV.
Oh, on TV. Well, anything can happen on TV. The question is, where have you seen that done in real life?
[Lisbon is on the phone with Jane and she has just realized that she's alone in a cabin with the killer]
Okay. Good. Listen, tell Rigsby, Teresa needs his help. [Jane gets her message and looks worried] Me? I'm at the Eagle Pine Lodge off Route 6.
Okay.
[Lisbon puts her phone in her pocket but doesn't hang up so Jane can still hear everything. She turns to face the killer and starts to reach for her weapon]
Kyle, let's stay calm and think this through.
Think what through?
I really don't wanna shoot you, but I do have to take you into custody for killing Kara Palmer. What are we gonna do about that?
[Answering her phone] Where the hell are you?
Nicole remembered everything. She can describe the suspect. We're looking for a tall, well-built man with brown hair and glasses. Mid-thirties.
That's it? That describes half the men in California.
Yeah, that's it. But at least we know it wasn't her that killed Kara. And it wasn't Rulon Farnes.
Nice work. For this you illegally abducted her from the sheriff's custody?
Yeah, I was gonna tell you about it, but seeing that it's illegal, best to keep you out of it so you have deniability.
How considerate of you.
[Talking about a suspect]
Oh, let him go.
Let him go?
What for?
We had to fight to catch him.
Oh, you're such policemen. Yes, let him go.
So I gotta pay for a little human contact now and then. Shoot me. It's not my fault I look like this.
It is actually. With a low-carb diet and exercise you could look very different.
[A girl has gone missing and Jane is addressing the people in the search party]
I want you to look at me, all of you. And listen closely. I'd like you to raise your hand above you heads like this. [He raises his hands and the others do the same] Both hands. You too, sheriff. And you, agent Lisbon. Please. [The sheriff and Lisbon both raise their hands, too] Good. Very good. One of you-- One of you here killed Kara Palmer and abducted Nicole Gilbert. I want that person to lower their right hand now. [Jane lowers his right hand but no one else does] Okay, okay. It usually gets a hit. Forget I even spoke.
Tell me, of the men on this search party, which one would you guess is a violent sexual predator?
What kind of question is--
[Interrupting] Who's name just popped into your head? Someone's did. There's always someone.
This is your method? Asking people to guess who done it? Strange kind of detective work you guys do.
Bad karma doesn't have an expiration date.
Uh, actually it does. According to traditional Buddhist teachings. I'm counting on it.
[To the local Sheriff] We don't help, we take over.
