S3 E1Red Sky At Night

Jane parks his car next to the crime scene.

PPolice officer

You can't park there.

Sure I can. [points to his car] Look.

The brass and media are going to be all over this like suckerfish.

Well why don't we just give it to the FBI? They love that stuff.

Oh, I wish. It's too late. The new boss is here doing on-cameras. It's our baby.

The new boss? I thought Hightower was boss.

The boss of Hightower? The director of the entire division. I told you about it last week. Your memory's going.

My memory is a mighty fortress, Lisbon, from which no fact ever escapes once committed. Now when you tell me boring things, I set them free immediately. It saves overcrowding.

GDGiselle Dublin

[under tears] Why am I being punished? I'm a good person.

Yes, Ma'am.

GDGiselle Dublin

Stop calling me Ma'am. I'm not your grandmother. How old do you think I am anyway?

[shrugs] 48, 49.

Giselle Dublin starts sobbing and crying all over again.

You just put your hand on me.

DYDrew Yost

No. I mean, yes, but --

Yes. Don't ever do that again.

YYost

Or else what?

[leans in close] You ever smell a dead mouse? Remember that smell?

YYost

Yes.

Well, I just now put a dead mouse in your jacket pocket, and no matter how many times you clean that jacket you will always smell that dead mouse, and you will remember that you should never have put your hand on me.

YYost

[feels jacket pocket and immediately removes the jacket] You son of a bitch.

It's actually just a wadded up napkin, but it has the same psychological effect. The human mind is funny that way.

Really, I'm impressed. You played me like a fish and you lied to me.

I kind of did, didn't I?

I'm glad to see you're learning a few things. Of course, now I shall have my revenge.

You're isolating yourself. You're pulling away from us, from me and the team. You are. You are and it's not good. What's going on?

Anybody that gets close to me, bad things happen to them.

A: That's not true, and B: Even if that were true, I'm a cop. It's our job to be in harm's way.

You're not listening to me.

We're family. What you're doing is a kind of betrayal, a surrender, a defeat. You're letting Red John win.

Oh, please. Please. Really? Okay, enough. No more pulling away. Give me a hug.

You don't mean it. I can tell.

What do you mean you can tell. You can't tell. I don't mean it, but you can't tell that I don't. You're guessing!

Yes, I can tell.

How?

I don't know. I can tell when you're lying now.

No you can't tell!

I can too!

That's nonsense. You're lying. Liar, liar, pants on fire.

S3 E2Cackle-Bladder Blood

I didn't know your wife was from this world, too.

Oh yeah. Her grandparents are carnie royalty. They ran big metal: Ferris wheels, ghost trains. They ran them all across the midwest. My wife, she didn't want to have any part of it.

Why?

Carnies are good people, but you're either with the show or you're not. There's nowhere in the middle, and if you're not with the show, you're a mark. You're a sucker. She didn't like that.

[knocks] Jane! It's me.

[opens a side door, surprising Lisbon] Hey, Lisbon. Excellent work finding us.

I am very unhappy with you. Is he in there?

Yep.

Bring him out. No funny business or I will shoot to kill.

You're very persuasive. We'll be right out.

DDanny

So, this is it, huh? [remarking on his sister and niece, along with Jane's wife and daughter's graves] They'd like it, I guess, if they had a preference.

You know this is the first time I've been here since the funeral?

DDanny

Why's that?

Because they're no here.

DDanny

Hey, who knows for sure? Maybe they're up there right now looking down at us. Annie's saying, lighten up, you dummies.

Yeah, maybe.

DDanny

Yeesh. I'm sorry I asked to come. Who would have known a trip to the cemetery would be such a downer.

It's all right. It's irrational. No reason to be sad. Are you going to give them those flowers or what?

DDanny

Guilt is for marks. You know that right?

[looks away as his eyes fill with tears] Yeah.

S3 E3The Blood On His Hands

I lied this morning. I do care that you're seeing someone else. It hurts a little. I mean, it's no biggie. I'll get over it. I want us to be friends. We can get to that point, right? Can't we be just friends?

Yeah, sure we can.

Good. I'd like that.

S3 E4The Red Carpet Treatment

[looking over a ransacked motel room] Someone was looking for something.

Thank you, captain obvious.

Three hours of brooding silence and then sarcasm. It's like we're married.

We're with the CBI. What's going on here?

DDeputy

[motions to couple on underside of a bridge] They were up there when we arrived. Gotta tell you, it looks like an attempted assault. He's going to reach her soon. We're going to have to shoot to stop him.

If you shoot him you'll have two victims. She just went up there to see about jumping. He's trying to save her. Can I use that? [takes bull horn from deputy] Uh, Betsy? If you're going to jump, make sure to dive. Head first.

DDeputy

Hey!

Jane.

From that height you'll just shatter bones and suffer massive internal injuries. Make sure you dive. Head first.

Was it worth it?

MWMax Winter

Was what worth it?

The man that killed your wife no longer exists. The time you took pursuing him, the pain, the sacrifice, was it worth it?

MWMax Winter

Yes, it was.

Thank you.
