Enough with the cheese.
I'm hungry!

Could you pass the cheese plate? This is getting good.
"They're not interested in provenance."
They're not concerned with provolone— provenance.
[under the effects of powerful marijuana] Boss, is it okay if I sit down?
You are sitting down, Risgby.
This is so annoying. I can't find my keys.
Mm. Did you check your desk?
Of course I—
[Lisbon sees the puzzle box on her desk]
Hmm.
[Lisbon takes a hammer out of her desk drawer and smashes the lid of the puzzle box with it]
[triumphantly, to Jane] Oh, here they are. Silly me.
Mm. You keep a hammer in your desk.
You only think you know everything about me.

Lisbon, you're distracted and you have an eager gleam in your eye. Either you have a breakthrough in the Volker case, or you're in love. Which is it?
I got Judge Davis to sign the warrant and Van Pelt should be getting Volker's records momentarily.
I was hoping it was love. You deserve happiness, but I'm glad for you anyway.
JLJoanna Lyle
But as a recovering alcoholic, I know I can't make someone stop before they're ready. There but for the Grace of God.
Mm. Well, let's leave God out of it, shall we?
Agent Lisbon.
What do you want, Mr. Volker?
Brass tacks. I like that. As I'm sure you're aware, I run a very successful business worth billions of dollars. You wanna know my secret? Transparency. Honesty. Open lines of communication. It's the way I do business.
What's your point?
If you wanted my financial records, all you had to do was ask for them. I got nothing to hide. You found nothing, right?
Why? Is there something you're worried about?
Next time... just ask. You look good. You've been working out.
Get out of my office.
Have a lovely day, Agent Lisbon.
Hey Cho, you're freaking out the guests. Just relax with the copness.
I'm relaxed.

Sometimes you are childishly naive, Teresa.
That might be so, but which side would you rather be on? Childish naivete, or defeated cynicism?
MManchester
Ouch.
Jane... I need your help.

How'd it go with Volker?
Good. He gave up his DNA just like you said he would. He's behind this, Jane. I know it.
But?
When the grand jury investigation was dropped, Volker's lawyers had all the evidence and court documents sealed from the case, including Jones' deposition. I think there's something in there that Volker doesn't want us to know. If I could just get my hands on it...
Well, why can't you?
They're sealed documents, Jane. It's against the law.
Well, if you want to get Volker, you can't let that stop you.
What do you suggest?
Well, Ardiles is a Deputy D.A. He's gonna have the deposition.
Ardiles is not gonna stick his neck out for me.
Well, of course not. He's a smart lawyer. You have to get something on him that will make him help you.
Blackmail the deputy district attorney?
Sure. Why not?
Well, how could I get dirt on Ardiles?
Ask yourself this — who makes it their business to know everyone else's?
Hey. Any luck finding the kid?
Well, we gave his name and his photo to local police, and the FBI's department of missing persons, but it's like finding a needle in a stack of needles.
I heard you talked to his mother.
Yes. She thinks the worst. Hard not to agree with her. What about you? Burning the midnight oil, I see.
There's gotta be something here.
Mmh.
Jane, Amanda Shaw was my witness. I gave her my word that I'd protect her, and Volker had her killed.
Mr. Volker. Patrick Jane. I work with Teresa Lisbon.
Ah, yes. Mr. Jane. Nice to meet you. Any friend of Teresa's... She's a—she's a fascinating woman, isn't she?
Certainly. Well, that was impressive. Not only are you a super-successful businessman, but you're quite the vivid storyteller. For a moment there, I was splashing around in that puddle with Spike, growing some gills.
Is there something you needed?
Need? No. I just wanted to meet you while I have the chance.
Are you going somewhere?
No. But you are. After your arrest, things are bound to get a little hectic, and I probably won't have the chance to introduce myself. So here I am.
Very droll. But you and I both know that I'm not going to be arrested.
You sure about that?
I'm looking for Agent Lisbon.
Boss.
What are you doing here?
Such hostility. And here I thought we were mending fences.
Answer the question.
I came to ask you to drop this ridiculous investigation. I hate to see an officer of the law humiliated like this.
Cho, will you show Mr. Volker out of here?
Gladly.
I'm only looking out for your best interests.
No, you're not. You want us to think that you're gloating, but you're not. You're afraid.
Afraid?
Yeah.
Well, this certainly is a strange way of showing it.
I can see right through you. We were close, searching your offices like that. Too close. You want us to think that you're in control, that you're untouchable. But you're not. You're afraid of us. And you should be.
