“Golden Hammer” · Season 6, Episode 12

In this episode: Patrick Jane (4), Teresa Lisbon (2), Fischer (2), Wayne Rigsby (1), Grace van Pelt (1), Abbott (1)

[sighing] This room makes me feel like I'm in an aquarium, and everyone's looking at me.

Mm. Well, you could very easily feel like they're all in the aquarium and you're looking at them.

What are you doing?

I'm following the conversation. The G-man says that I don't have adequate security clearance to work on the Whitaker case, and Fischer is arguing.

Are you reading their lips?

I would be if I didn't have to answer inane questions.

Oh, okay, boss.

I'm not your boss. Why would you say that?

It's just that sometimes now you act like you are.

But we're equals, partners.

Okay, fine. Just remember that.

I will remember that.

[I]f Whitaker was murdered because of his highly sensitive military work with the Pentagon, I shouldn't know anything about that. So, I'll happily leave.

DAgent Daniels

Wait. What did you tell him?

Nothing.

DDaniels

Who told you that he works for the Pentagon? And consider your answer well.

You did.

DDaniels

Don't be absurd. I've never seen you before.

No, but your presence here told me, because you wouldn't be here if he worked for, uh, Pottery Shack or Pizza Barn, would you?

DDaniels

Excuse me?

You're excused. [to Fischer] He's a little slow on the uptake, this one.

DDaniels

Fischer, this is unacceptable.

I apologize, sir—

No, no. Hush. Don't apologize. Don't take it out on her. She didn't do anything.

Thank you, Curtis. We'll be in touch.

CWCurtis Whitaker

Thank you. Good day to you. [Curtis turns to leave the room]

[before Curtis exits] Well, he's a prime suspect.

CCurtis

[stops and asks Jane, dumbfounded] Say again?

Oh, I was talking to my colleagues. Bye, Curtis.

They'll try again. They just need to be lulled into a false sense of security.

And how do we lull them like that?

We need to arrest someone else and charge them with Whitaker's murder.

We can't arrest people under false pretenses.

We can't?

AFAbbott and Fischer

[in unison] No.

Why not?

It's illegal.

Oh. Well, that's a problem. I guess we need to think outside of the box.

That's always a bad sign.

Hey, are you gonna be home for dinner?

Uh, yeah, sure.

Wait. Are you at that dirty taco truck?

[Rigsby crams the rest of his taco into his mouth]

[sighs] I can literally hear you trying to think up an excuse.

No, that's the sound of me eating a taco. Salad tonight, I promise. I love you, bye.
