S5 E11Days of Wine and Roses

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.

S5 E12Little Red Corvette

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.

S5 E13The Red Barn

You think you're so mysterious. I know what you're doing in there.

Oh, really? What?

You're making a list, trying to figure out who it is that you've met that's Red John.

Not just met, shaken hands with.

How many people are on that list, anyway?

A lot.

Ladies and gentlemen, ten years ago, Teresa Lisbon left the San Francisco Police Department to join the California Bureau of Investigation. Today she is without doubt the rootinest, tootinest, sharp-shootinest cop in the whole state of California. Happy anniversary, boss.

Good morning. Thank you for the party, it was very thoughtful.

You're welcome.

But I'm never gonna forgive you for that stripper.

How was the rest of the party?

Torture. Like it can't happen ever ever again.

Ten years, huh?

More, actually. One year with you counts as two.

So what did I do last night? Come on. I'm dying here.

You got up on the table and sang Bohemian Rhapsody.

Oh. I do a pretty good Freddie Mercury. That's not so embarrassing.

Maybe not for you.

We know that Red John was at Elliston Farm in 1988. That is a huge leap forward, Lisbon. Huge.

How so?

I recalled all the names of the 2,164 people that I met and shook hands with since Red John murdered my family. I might have missed one or two, but not many. 807 of those names were women. And Red John's probably not a woman. Another 949 were men that I had brief encounters with that I never saw or heard from again. That leaves 408 names. And Elliston Farm will exclude a whole bunch more. I'm getting close, Lisbon. I'm getting very close.

Tell me some of the names. There's gotta be some that are at the top of the list.

Sure. There's some interesting names.

Well, tell me.

I love playing with you, Gale. I can read you like a kids' book.

GBGale Bertram

Yeah, yeah. Just pick up your chips.

MManchester

Goodnight, Moon.
