The Mentalist · Season 4, Episode 12

Van Pelt and O'Laughlin in “My Bloody Valentine”

Van Pelt

[having sustained a head wound, is talking to a figment of her imagination] Did you love me?

O'Laughlin

Of course I loved you.

Van Pelt

Then why did you try to kill me?

O'Laughlin

I had to make a choice between you and Red John. We all have to make hard choices, Grace, but that doesn't make me evil.

Van Pelt

[scoffs] It kind of does.

O'Laughlin

Grace.

Van Pelt

I was just too stupid to see it.

O'Laughlin

Oh, no. You saw it.

Van Pelt

No, I didn't.

O'Laughlin

Not all of it, but you knew there was something. Something a little dangerous under the nice-guy stuff. You kind of liked it. You can't open your eyes a little bit, Grace. You've got to open them all the way to see the truth of things.

Van Pelt

What are you talking about? Why are you doing this to me?

O'Laughlin

How should I know? I'm just a figment of your imagination.
