White Collar · Season 1
So you saying I'm your front man.
Good partnerships are hard to find.
Who are your friend?
Fellow travelers on this journey we call life.
They like my ice wines.
That makes sense, they come from colder climate.
What's the game?
I don't know. But I'm very good at it.
I saw a suspicious van and wondered if there was any illegal activity taking place inside.
Just a convict and an FBI agent watching TV.
you're an FBI agent, Peter Burke. Go get your job back.
Neal, you're not a killer.
But I am a criminal.
The thing about fleeing suspects is that they can't say goodbye---to anyone. You know why I had to run.
I know. Just so you know the world didn't stop rotating when you were gone.
I can't con a widow.
Where are you going?
To cross a line.
How did you leave things with Sara?
Why??
Look behind you.
[Neal finds Sara upon looking back]
I am looking for agent Burke.
Sara.
Neal. How did your island trip go?
Seemed like a good idea at the time.
Until the hangover.
[talking to Neal] ...south-east corner, by the monument.
Neal?
Yup. He didn tell anyone when he was leaving for the island.
I wasn't completely unaware.
You knew he was gonna run?
Something I have learnt. Things get stolen and people go away. Most of the time you don't get them back.
[Excerpt from a video Ellen Parker, former police partner of Neal's father, made 30 years earlier, when Neal was three years old.]
By now, I assume you know, your father’s been accused of a very serious crime. He told me he was innocent and I believed him. I worked with him a long time. He’s no killer, Neal. The man I know can’t be. After he was arrested, your dad told me that our department is filled with dirty cops and they set him up. So I’ve spent the last few months running down leads, trying to back up his story, and he’s right about one thing: there are dirty cops, a lot of them. But did they set him up? I—I thought maybe they had. And then, uh, yesterday, your father confessed to the murder. I tried to talk to him, but all anyone will tell me is that he turned state’s evidence and that you, your mom, and I are being placed into witness protection.
[Neal asks the person he believes to be Samuel Phelps, an undercover cop, about his father.]
'Samuel Phelps': He [your father] never shut up about you. You’d think he was the only guy in the planet who had a son, the way he carried on. One day, he brought you down to the precinct and he introduced you around as a junior detective to every cop in the house. I mean, you just loved that. And then, I remember, at some point, you drifted away. Man, did he panic. He had about ten detectives looking for you. We finally found you in the captain’s office, wearing his hat. I guess you always had a thing for hats.
I don’t remember that.
'Sam': Well, you were young.
[Peter investigates 'Samuel Phelps', after promising Neal he wouldn’t, putting 'Sam' in danger.]
Neal [to Peter]: Well, that’s the heart of our problem isn’t it? You don’t trust me. You still don’t trust me…I may be a ward of the state. And I will do my job for the FBI. But as far as my personal life goes, we are done. We’re done.
We have the highest closure rate of any C.I. team in the country. They wanna know what makes our partnership work.
I've been wondering the same thing lately.
Great, I brought a cork screw to a gun fight.
May I borrow Percy? [Sam gives them a strange look.]
My pet rat. He eats all the fancy cheeses that I... can't. In many ways I live through him.
Many ways?
Don't get him started.
