How do you sleep at night?
Most nights, I don't.

How do you sleep at night?
Most nights, I don't.
Tell us about the victim.
Look! A hawk! Family of hawks. Ah, they're gone. Wow.
Rick Loomis. Been in town five months. He's dead in his truck by the creek.
Well, maybe he died of happiness - too much natural beauty. It's the Stendhal Syndrome.
No...
No?
He was shot in the head.
Oh, well. Never mind. [taking in the landscape] Beautiful!
Hey, Lisbon.
[Agent Hightower gets out of the truck]
No, Hightower! I didn't even know you had legs.
Let's go. What were you doing back there?
Five-card draw.
For money?!
No! For gold.
Oh, gold, gold. That makes it all right, then.
You're really committed to keeping your temper contained, huh. What's up with that?
You're really committed to testing my temper, huh. What's up with that?
Idle curiosity. [Wes Atwood emerges from his store and Jane ducks down and hugs Hightower]
What - What are you doing?
I'm hiding from Wes Atwood.
Why?
Because we're gonna follow him.
Thanks for not asking questions.
Oh, no need to ask questions when you know all the answers.
[Lisbon, stuck at the office with a hurt ankle, is looking after Hightower's kids]
So... cookies?
Okay.
[Lisbon starts walking to the kitchen on her crutches]
Are you disabled?
No, no, I'm injured. Not that disabled is bad! But I'm not. I'm injured.
You walk like disabled.
[Rigsby laughs]
Ah. Yes. Jeff, what did your dad stop doing recently?
Uh... washing himself?
[Hightower has just shot Puttock]
Is he dead?
Yes.
You know, I should applaud your bravery but I gotta say...practically speaking, what were you thinking? You could have killed me.
I'm sorry. I got mad. I didn't know what I was thinking.
That was some good shooting though. That leg shot that took him down was very precise.
[smirks]: I was aiming for his head.
Oh, fantastic.
[answers the door] Jane.
LaRoche, you have a house and a fluffy white dog. Are those Hummel figurines?
Yeah. You find that amusing?
I just didn't picture you living in an actual house.
Where did you think I live?
In a burrow on a riverbank or something like that.
I'm better off alone.
Nobody is better off alone.
[as Jane catches her smoking] What?
I didn't say anything.
You were thinking it. Mentalizing me.
You can tell?
I can read it on your face. So stop.
Well, if you can read it on my face, then you're mentalizing me, so you stop. [Hightower sighs] No, on second thought, keep going. What am I thinking?
Please go away, Jane.
No, that's wrong. Try again.
It's our lucky day, buddy. See that taco truck just as we got off the freeway?
That taco truck's always there.
Ohh yeah. A little carne asada after we check out the warehouse? Muy bien!
No.
Why not?
I don't wanna cross Hobo Alley to order lunch from a truck that's near the sewage ditch under the freeway.
But there's tacos there!
You risked a lot for me.
Well, not for you entirely.
I understand. Still, thank you for getting me out of that building and back to my family.
And thank you for not shooting me in the face. No one can know about this. This has to stay between you and me.
Jane, you should at least tell Lisbon what's going on—
Nobody. He's too smart that way. He'll sense a trap. You're better off alone.
Nobody is better off alone.
Are you the CBI agents?
Yes. She does the detecting and I do the insulting.
Consulting.
That too.
This impact label was marking his shots. And in this particular case the 'X' doesn't mark the spot. His shots were are more to the front of the club.
What does that mean?
Well it means he was...
