S1 E15Unfinished Business

Excerpt from a college criminology class syllabus:

Forger

A new breed of forger, technological virtuoso with a classical artistic foundation. Suspected of art forgery, theft of the Antioch manuscripts, and convicted of bond forgery. Caffrey was suspected of hundreds of thefts before Agent Burke of the FBI apprehended him. His highly sophisticated schemes made it difficult for the FBI to follow his trail, along with his mastery of the arts made many of his crimes go unnoticed for many years, long after the trail was cold.

He had a few accomplices, none on record, most of the time choosing to work alone, keeping the number of people that could turn on him to near zero. It is estimated that he forged over 10.3 billion dollars of priceless antiquities. Never the wiser, the FBI pursued him for six years and finally caught him.

Veronica [college student suspected in an art theft]: When executing a heist, Mr. Caffrey, do you prefer boxers or briefs?"

"I think some things are better left to the imagination.

I wear a Badge, he wears a Tracking-Anklet! Applications are on the table!

Where's the little guy?

Mozz!

[Mozzie walks up to stand next to Neal]

You two can fill me in from the beginning back at the Bureau! [walks away angrily]

He wants me to go to the Bureau?

Yeah, Mozz, if you want the FBI's help you have to go to the Bureau.

Do you know what they do to guys like me at the Bureau?

[pulls up his pant leg to show his tracking anklet] Yeah, Mozz, I do.

Nothing’s changed. I’m dead. And the city looks the same.

As far as the world knows, you’re no longer in it, but it keeps turning

What do you want from me, Caffrey?

Who says I want anything?

I do. You’re a con man. You smile for a living. And you’re smiling at me right now, so I know that you want something.

All right. I would love… For you to pass me that fortune cookie. You first.

Apparently excitement and intrigue follow me. How about you?

I make delicious soups.

See you caffrey.

[sarcastically] So happy to have you back in my life.

Any attempt on your life actually gets your blood flowing like a double shot of Red Bull and Espresso. I think I just invented a new drink.

Neal, this is John Deckard from the Marshals' office.

JDJohn Deckard

Are you sure it's necessary to bring him [Neal] in?

Neal, how long did you evade the U.S. Marshals?

Well, technically, they never found me. You did.

Kyle Bancroft (FBI Agent in Charge of the White Collar Crime Division): As I heard it, you had the Marshals searching for you along the Mexican Riviera.

If anyone knows about evading arrest, it's Neal Caffrey.

I think you missed your calling. Tiny cup, big office, expensive suits?

Ugly mugs are fine.

Don't fight your instincts, Peter. Embrace your true self.

You done?

I can keep going.

You're done.

[to Neal] You're a liability, you're benched.

You can't pull me off this, Peter.

I can do whatever I want with you.

We all grow up.

MSMozzie's contact

All children [looks at Neal] 'cept one.

Suit, we have a code red.

Now is not the time, Mozzie.

It's a dark day when I turn towards the system instead of recoiling.

Just spit it out.

Remember when you asked me to tell you if Neal was gonna do something stupid? Well, I regretfully report that... he's out of his anklet.

Damn it!

But that's not the stupid part. He's got a gun.

A prince, huh?

I've been a prince.

When was that?

Yeah, when was that?

[A flashback to when Neal, under the alias Nicholas Halden, worked for Vincent Adler.]

VAVincent Adler

Others say "Dress for the job you want", I say dress like the man you wanna be. Nick, we have an obligation to assault the commonplace every chance we get, from the clothes we wear to the art we collect, to the women in our lives.
