S1 E15Unfinished Business

Curator": Who are you?

Neal Caffrey, he's one of our art consultants.

Curator": Caffrey, Not familiar with that name.

It's probably for the best.

Curator": You're an expert on haustenberg?

All the late European post-impressionists.

Curator": I authenticated "young girl with locket" myself When it first entered our collection. You'll agree it's an excellent work, A bit sentimental for my taste, But the Matisse influence is apparent.

Oh, well, considering Matisse was a fauvist, I wouldn't agree with that at all. Unless you're talking about his early work, Which i don't think you are, and if you are, you're just wrong.

[Neal shows up at Peter's house in the middle of the night]

This had better be good.

I took the painting.

Damnit Neal .

I wasn't gonna... [Peter holds up his hand] I did it for... [Peter stops him again] We can use it to catch Dorsette, he doesn't know I work for you.

We'll set it up tomorrow. Now get the hell out of my house.

[leaving] Goodnight, Elizabeth.

Goodnight, Neal. [walks over to Peter] Well, he told you the truth about the painting.

Because they threatened Taryn.

It's a start.

Yeah, it's a start.

[Neal and Peter are looking through a warehouse]

I think I just saw the Ark of the Covenant back there.

If my face melts, let me know.

[Peter is pacing angrily]

I never lied to Peter.

You did leave a few things out.

You don't understand; I have to find Kate.

My husband desperately wants to trust you and you keep giving him reasons not to. You're on your own on this one, Neal.

No, wait, please don't go. [Elle stands up and leaves]

[to Peter] Now what?

Now I wouldn't take you off this case if I could.

[Neal and Peter are talking]

“There’s always another way, I live my life on that idea.”

[about his mugshot] I never liked this picture.

It's not that bad.

It's better than my driver's license.

Which one? You have several. [Neal looks at him] Okay, one crime at a time.

I'll admit I've done a lot of things in my life that I'm not proud of. No, no, that's not true, I'm proud of most of them.

[Neal and Mozzie are playing chess and Mozzie compares Neal's life to the chess game with Kate as the queen and Neal as a pawn]

I'm the bishop in case you were wondering.

I wasn't.

Oh.

Just because I don't like guns doesn't mean I don't know how to use one.

Okay. So. Fowler wants the music box, let's give it to him. Where is it?

I don't have it.

What? You told everyone you had it.

I never told anyone. Everyone assumed I took it and I never corrected them.

It did make you appear... superhuman.

Image is everything.

Aw, you're not comfortable around the six year old.

I don't speak their language.

I do?

Yeah, you do. Come on, Peter Pan.

Ok, we stop the judge from taking the Sullivan home. Then we get her disrobed. [Neal raises his eyebrows] You know what I meant... If we lean on her hard enough, she'll flip on Fowler. [Neal smirks and walks away] You know what I meant! ...That's not what I meant...

[Neal forges Peter's signature perfectly]

How did you do that?

Well, your hand is programmed over years to write letters a certain way. Try to mimic someone else's, and your style will always creep in. But, turn the signature upside down and it becomes nothing more than a drawing, all you have to do is copy the lines. The preconceptions about letters go away and you have a perfect signature.

That's a neat trick. Don't ever copy mine again.

Never again.

You have copied my signature.

Let's... focus on the crime at hand.
