Quotes3

  • Grace Van Pelt: I don't get it. She actually enjoyed helping him kill. One crazy, evil person I understand, but two? Husband and wife? Marriage is supposed to be a sacred, loving thing.
  • Patrick Jane: Yeah, they were soul-mates in their own strange way.
  • Grace Van Pelt: [sighs] Let's do it.
  • Wayne Rigsby: [Eats some of his food] Not yet.
  • Grace Van Pelt: Why not?
  • Wayne Rigsby: This is actually quite good.
  • [Grace rises up and slaps him]
  • Grace Van Pelt: I did the database search. I'm e-mailing the results.
  • Teresa Lisbon: I'm gonna put you on speaker.
  • [she does so]
  • Grace Van Pelt: It's not much. One pop for the brand of silver tape used two months ago in Fairfield. An abduction case.
  • Patrick Jane: What happened?
  • Grace Van Pelt: Dolores Sanchez, a female, 22. Migrant farm laborer. Abducted at a bus stop; she doesn't know how. She wakes up on a bed in a motel room all tied up in duct tape, unharmed. The cleaners found her. Never saw her abductors, no suspects. Fairfield PD concluded it was a drunken prank. The complainant, Sanchez, left town, so the case kind of drifted away.
  • Patrick Jane: This is very interesting.
  • Teresa Lisbon: Let's not go off on tangents already.
  • Patrick Jane: Any other correlations?
  • Grace Van Pelt: Uh... yes, actually. Sanchez is a redhead like O'Keefe.
  • Patrick Jane: Ah ha.
  • Teresa Lisbon: Cool down. It's a common brand of tape and there's a quarter million redheaded women in California.
  • Patrick Jane: Yeah. Yeah.
  • Teresa Lisbon: Yeah.
  • Patrick Jane: You're right. Just supposing - for fun - that it was the same guy did both crimes. He kidnaps a redheaded girl, ties her up, takes her a motel room, has her at his mercy but does nothing. Months later, kidnaps another redheaded girl, but his planning is not good enough and he kills her in a panic to keep her quiet. What does that say?
  • Teresa Lisbon: He's an idiot?
  • Patrick Jane: He's new to this and he's conflicted. He's hungry to do terrible things, but his conscience and his fear tell him not to. So he's not yet going into this with with the proper focus and planning. And stuff goes wrong.
  • Teresa Lisbon: Or you're making that up and Melanie was murdered by her secret lover we can be fairly certain she was meeting at the exact time of her abduction.
