[To Lisbon] You have a damaged intensity that's quite attractive.
[With his mouth full] Hmm, yeah.
“Redline” · Season 2, Episode 13
In this episode: Patrick Jane (8), Teresa Lisbon (5), Walter Mashburn (4)
He's got everything he wanted since he was thirty.
Not you.
[After Jane let Walter's car fall off a cliff. Lisbon gets a phone call] Hey Cho... Oh no... Oh great. No. No, you can handle this one. Just be clear that the CBI is not liable. He is just a consultant.
You're a psychic, aren't you?
What makes you say that?
You have this charlatan air about you. (Jane smiles and looks at Lisbon who smiles too.)
So it's over.
Yeah, it's over.
That's too bad. It was fun.
Yeah. How you gonna top that thrill?
Maybe next time I'll be the killer.
You play mind games with people, you size up their weaknesses and then you give them the rope to hang themselves.
You make it sound so cool.
Okay, I am not jealous and resentful. That is nonsense.
Yet you recall my exact words. There's no shame in it. I feel that way too sometimes. Why does everyone else get to have a normal life?
My life is fine.
Normally you rise above such craven emotions but in this case your hands were tied. It's the rules. You're forced to do what your worst self is telling you to do anyway. Hence your tension headache.
I don't... (Jane gives her a look) All right. I do have a headache, but it's a coincidence.
Nah.
Either I obey the rules or I risk taking big heat for ignoring them. This is on Van Pelt and Rigsby, not me.
Whatever you say.
Jeff Sparhawk has no alibi.
You can dispense the cop talk, Lisbon. You can tell me what's bothering you.
Nothing's bothering me.
Okay.
Nothing is bothering me.
I understand your position. There's no reason to beat yourself up about it.
What are you talking about?
Well, that you feel bad about Rigsby and Van Pelt.
No I don't.
Well, you can't help wondering if there's a hint of jealousy and resentment in your decision.
Excuse me?
