Hang on, where are you going?
Hello? I'm practically a grown woman, I don't need to tell you where I'm going.
No, yeah, I-I know. You're coming back?
I love you dad.

Jane. Jane wake up.
Yeah. What's the time?
Eight.
Oh we have to get going!
Where?
I'll explain it all in the car.
No, you'll explain it now please.
Oh I like it when you get all authoritarian on me.
Talk. Where are we going?
Catch Ernie's killer.
How? We don't have anything on Hutten.
Hutten didn't kill Ernie.
He didn't?
Well, he robbed the bank alright, but he was telling the truth when he said he didn't need to shoot anyone. Why would he do that? It's sloppy, not his style.
Jane, I need more than that.
Remember the safe deposit vault was open during the robbery? I just assumed that someone took something from there, but I got it all backwards. They didn't get anything, they put something in there.
What?
You really want me to tell you? It's gonna ruin the surprise.
Yes, I don't like surprises.
Three guesses then. I'll give you a hint? It's not animal, or vegetable.
You know, these shoes are actually quite comfortable. They're growing on me.
Not on me.
No?
MMancini
I think you know this guy, right?
BBertram
Teresa, I didn't take you for a gambler.
It's not gambling if you know you're gonna win.
S5 E4Blood Feud
If I don't like what you have to say, you could walk out of this room charged with murder. Do you understand that?
Yes.
NNurse
Excuse me, can I help you?
There was a man attached to this needle. Have you seen him?
SRSteven Rigsby
Don't go too easy on him.
No parental advice, thanks.
SRSteven Risgby
What you got to complain about? I did my job.
You did your job...
SRSteven Rigsby
That's right. You're still here. You're a man of respect. Go around all over the places with a legit weapon. You got a handsome son. I did a good job.
You're gonna regret this someday.
What?
Well this, this paperwork. Every night you file it and forget it. You know what it's like? It's like cooking a beautiful meal and putting it straight into refrigerator, forever.
You could help.
No, I couldn't.
[LaRoche enters Lisbon's office]
So, what's your report gonna say?
It will say that agent Risgby acted appropriately and with sound judgment when he used lethal force against Moss. Good work. You got away with it.
Me?
Well I can't make a case, but you chose a remote location for the meeting, you set up a situation in where Moss had to flee. And there, by chance, was Risgby.
Well, I'm flattered. You flatter me, but I can't take credit for that.
Moss didn't have to run, I would have brought him in.
The plan did require Moss to put his own head in the noose. Small gamble Jane had to make to keep everyone's hands clean.
Moss fired his gun!
So you all say. And, of course, Moss can't tell his version. And now Rigsby has taken perfectly legal revenge against the man who killed his father. You think it will effect him?
Well I think it's better to regret something you did than something you didn't do.
Perhaps. I suppose Rigsby will never know. Agent Lisbon, my report will reflect that you made a mistake in calling agent Rigsby on the scene. An error in judgment.
Yes sir, it was.
Yeah, Lisbon didn't call Rigsby. I did.
Jane!
Of course you did. Agent Lisbon, your instincts to protect your team are admirable, and your biggest flaw.
Yes, but we all have our flaws. Don't we, agent LaRoche?
S5 E5Red Dawn
What the hell are you doing Hannigan?!
HHannigan
Boss...
I told you to take him downstairs, not beat him up!
HHannigan
Sorry, okay? Sorry, I lost it.
No, no, it's fine, it's fine. My fault, my fault entirely. I provoked you.
God Hannigan, get him some ice!
I'm okay, I'm okay. Seriously, it's not his fault. I deserved it, okay?
He is supposed to act like a professional law officer all the times. Let's get you some ice, come on.
Teresa Lisbon. It's a... it's a nice name.
Yes.
ASAlexa Schultz
Virgil Minelli?
Yes, who's this?
ASAlexa Schultz
Alexa Schultz, FBI. We met at the forensics conference in Roanoke.
Director Schultz. What a pleasure to hear from you.
ASAlexa Schultz
I understand the CBI has hired a new consultant, a man named Patrick Jane?
Yes. I'm surprised you know, I didn't realise you followed our hiring that closely.
ASAlexa Schultz
Mister Jane is connected to a case we're interested in. The serial killer known as Red John. I'm, ehm, calling to ask a favour.
What's that?
ASAlexa Schultz
I would appreciate updates on the Red John case. That way when my boss asks me what's going on, I have something to tell him.
To put it bluntly Alexa, why would I do that? What's in it for me?
ASAlexa Schultz
Well it's useful to have a friend in the FBI, isn't it? And I'm a good friend.
Well, I'm a great believer in interagencies cooperation. I don't see why we couldn't engage in some.
ASAlexa Schultz
I look forward to it, Virgil. Oh, by the way, one thing we might wanna know about Patrick Jane. You know how he's been out of sight in the past year? You know where he's been?
No.
ASAlexa Schultz
In an insane asylum. Good luck... Done.
Thank you.

IIsaac
No, don't answer that!
Why not?
IIsaac
Just don't, give it to me.
Tell me.
IIsaac
I can't.
Well, if you don't I'm gonna answer it.
IIsaac
Don't! He told me not to involve the police.
Who did?
IIsaac
The kidnapper. He took Marcus and Pella and he told me he'd kill them if I involved the police.
Then answer that.
IIsaac
Hello?
(pretending to be the kidnapper) You alone?
IIsaac
Yes.
Tell me... What are you wearing? Hahaha! Hi, how you doing? It's me, yeah! Hahaha!
I think you guys can handle it from here.
Hey. You never told me what happened with the driver.
Yeah must have... slipped my mind. Excuse me.
He knows something, doesn't he? Jane let me help you.
KKidnapper
[to Lisbon] Stop lying to me, bitch! I know they have it!
Hey! Just for that you're not gonna see a dime, not unless you do as I say! And if you don't, don't bother calling back!
You don't criticize his performance? Just mine?
He was good. You? Eeh.
S5 E7If It Bleeds, It Leads
Lisbon. So it's murder, is it?
It is. Let's go to the news station the victim worked at.
Ehhm, I'm kinda busy. Maybe later.
That's not how it works. We have to do our jobs.
Well I think you can do it, you're very capable.
I'm not kidding. Come on, let's go.
Okay, I'll go to the news station with you, get you started and then you're on your own, alright?
I am not in the sixth grade, that doesn't work on me!
I can't promise I'll always be around to help you, Teresa. There will come a time when you might have to do this on your own. And I want you to be prepared.
I am prepared to punch you in the face, all on my own.
