S6 E1The Desert Rose

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

No. You're thinking that if Bertram is Red John, he sent us out to the middle of nowhere for a reason. To get us out of the way for when he makes his next move. I am thinking about... trains. Toot toot!

SSonya

My gosh. I mean, I always knew I had a psychic gift, but this is damn spooky.

Psychic gift? Excellent. Tell me, uh, will I enjoy your eggs?

SSonya

You betcha.

We'll see.

[Jane takes a bite of the scrambled eggs]

Mmm. You're right, Sonya. These are enjoyable eggs. Room for improvement, but very enjoyable. Good.

What are we doing, Jane?

I'm eating eggs; you're staring at a dry muffin.

S6 E8Red John

Well, Patrick, here we are.

[he nudges the body on the floor]

Poor fella. Smart, but dumb. It never occurred to him that I am the Blake association.

Why'd you have to kill him?

Everyone thinks he's Red John, don't they? So... it would seem a fitting end to the story if you two were found dead together. No one will look any deeper.

So I'm supposed to die, am I? After all these years? Seems kind of unfair.

[in his high-pitched 'Red John' voice] It's totally fair. The game's over, and I won.

It's not a game.

There's a winner and a loser. That's a game.

It's not a game I asked to play.

No, but you played it very well nonetheless. You were fun, challenging. Thank you.

You probably have a lot of questions for me, huh? We have time, if you want.

I have no questions. You're an evil, sexually perverted sociopath with pathetic delusions of grandeur. The rest is just details.

Evil, sexually perverted sociopath? Well, I guess I have to own that, but, uh... delusions of grandeur? No. I have no delusions. I built a secret empire. I control the lives of thousands of people. My word is life and death, and nobody knows who I am. Now if that's not grandeur, I don't know what you call it.

I'd call it the ravings of a squalid egomaniac.

You see? For no reason at all, you... you're rude and contemptuous. That's why your wife and kid are dead. Who are you to butt in here and make obnoxious judgments about me? Who are you? Hmm? Who are you? Nobody. Nobody. You didn't know me. You don't know me. You have no idea. Here's your problem, Pat. You're a smart man, but you are arrogant. You can't imagine someone smarter than you. Which is why I've been ahead of you at every step along the way.

You're holding the gun. You want to brag? Go ahead. I'm not gonna stop you.

You still don't know how I fooled you, do you? How did I survive that bomb? How did I know all the names on your list?

Is this what you've been missing? Appreciation?

Please don't kill me. Let me live.

[Jane dials 911 on his cell phone]

Please... let me live. I'll tell you how I got the names on your list. I don't care. I-I knew because I have real psychic—

Shh.

[Jane wraps his hands around Red John's throat]

I want you to blink once for "no" and twice for "yes."

[he nods]

Are you sorry that you killed my wife Angela and my daughter Charlotte?

[Red John blinks twice]

Good. Good. Are you afraid to die?

[gurgling, Red John blinks twice]

Good.

S6 E10Green Thumb

KFAgent Kim Fischer

Help me, Lisbon. There are national security issues at play. Jane won't work with us unless we meet his demands.

He has too much pride to back down. You gotta to give him a win. Meet one of his demands.

One of his demands is you.

Well, meet another one.

Why are you being so stubborn? The F.B.I. is offering you a get-out-of-jail-free card.

Well, you make that sound like a good thing.

Isn't it?

Not on their terms. If I can't live on my terms, I'm in prison anyway.

[surveying the FBI offices] Hmm. I don't see a couch anywhere.

Don't start trouble. At least not yet.

JWAgent Jason Wylie

Hey.

Hey.

I can't believe they gave me a desk!

[Wylie giggles and begins setting up his desk]

You can call me "The Coyote."

I don't think so.

That's just what they call me downstairs. Don't ask me why, though. They never told me.

Your name's Wylie.

Yeah.

Wile E. Coyote. "Roadrunner," the cartoon?

No, it's Irish, I think. Uh, good morning, Agent Stanley. Hey... Do you know the Roadrunner and the Coyote?

SAgent Stanley

Yeah. Sex traffickers in Dallas.

[whispering, concerned, to Cho] There's a cartoon about sex trafficking?

Hey, Cho, you got a minute?

[long pause, glancing at Wylie] Yeah.

He made fools of us.

It won't be the last time.

How do I get him under control?

You don't. Jane is what he is. He'll use you to turn every situation to his advantage.

So what would you suggest I do?

Use him to your advantage.

You ran away again, Jane. Not from the F.B.I. - you ran away from me.

Yeah, but I ran back.

How was I supposed to know? I thought you were gone again forever.

Okay, you're right. I-I'm sorry, Lisbon. I... I didn't think about you.

Well, you rarely do.

Well that's not true! I made you one of my demands. I'm—I'm not joining the F.B.I. unless they make you a job offer.

That's my point. What makes you think I want to work with you again? You are difficult and exhausting, and maybe I don't want to put the rest of my life on hold to be your sidekick. Have you ever even thought about that?

No... no. I hadn't considered it.

S6 E12Golden Hammer

[sighing] This room makes me feel like I'm in an aquarium, and everyone's looking at me.

Mm. Well, you could very easily feel like they're all in the aquarium and you're looking at them.

What are you doing?

I'm following the conversation. The G-man says that I don't have adequate security clearance to work on the Whitaker case, and Fischer is arguing.

Are you reading their lips?

I would be if I didn't have to answer inane questions.

Oh, okay, boss.

I'm not your boss. Why would you say that?

It's just that sometimes now you act like you are.

But we're equals, partners.

Okay, fine. Just remember that.

I will remember that.

[I]f Whitaker was murdered because of his highly sensitive military work with the Pentagon, I shouldn't know anything about that. So, I'll happily leave.

DAgent Daniels

Wait. What did you tell him?

Nothing.

DDaniels

Who told you that he works for the Pentagon? And consider your answer well.

You did.

DDaniels

Don't be absurd. I've never seen you before.

No, but your presence here told me, because you wouldn't be here if he worked for, uh, Pottery Shack or Pizza Barn, would you?

DDaniels

Excuse me?

You're excused. [to Fischer] He's a little slow on the uptake, this one.

DDaniels

Fischer, this is unacceptable.

I apologize, sir—

No, no. Hush. Don't apologize. Don't take it out on her. She didn't do anything.

Thank you, Curtis. We'll be in touch.

CWCurtis Whitaker

Thank you. Good day to you. [Curtis turns to leave the room]

[before Curtis exits] Well, he's a prime suspect.

CCurtis

[stops and asks Jane, dumbfounded] Say again?

Oh, I was talking to my colleagues. Bye, Curtis.
