Quotes9

  • Teresa Lisbon: You know, we never finished our conversation.
  • Patrick Jane: No, it got busy.
  • Teresa Lisbon: Life throws you curveballs.
  • Patrick Jane: Are we talking about baseball now?
  • Teresa Lisbon: I'm serious. I want us to be strong together.
  • Patrick Jane: We are, aren't we?
  • Teresa Lisbon: I love you. And I also love what I do. You can't be jealous of that.
  • Patrick Jane: It's not that.
  • Teresa Lisbon: What is it?
  • [Jane doesn't say anything]
  • Teresa Lisbon: What?
  • Patrick Jane: I don't want to lose you. I don't know how I would react.
  • Teresa Lisbon: You're not gonna lose me.
  • Patrick Jane: You don't know that.
  • Teresa Lisbon: Nobody knows what's gonna happen. Okay, you could die tomorrow. I could. We need to focus on what's going on right now. Right here. It's good. It is very, very good.
  • Kimball Cho: I hear Abbott's in trouble.
  • Jason Wylie: [Lisbon looks at him indignantly] I'm not very good at keeping secrets.
  • Teresa Lisbon: Good thing you're in the FBI.
  • Kimball Cho: What are we doing about it?
  • Teresa Lisbon: Jane's coming up with a plan right now. You might want to think twice before getting in on this one. Both of you. I have a feeling we're gonna be pretty far outside the lines.
  • Kimball Cho: Well, Jane had me pretend to kill a guy once. We going further outside the lines than that?
  • Teresa Lisbon: Probably not.
  • Kimball Cho: Then I'm good.
  • Teresa Lisbon: Do you want to dance?
  • Patrick Jane: Here? In front of everyone?
  • Teresa Lisbon: Sure.
  • Patrick Jane: Okay. One dance.
  • Teresa Lisbon: Two.
  • Patrick Jane: Everything is a negotiation with you.
  • Patrick Jane: Everything turned out exactly as we planned.
  • Teresa Lisbon: I know.
  • Patrick Jane: No one was hurt.
  • Teresa Lisbon: I know.
  • Patrick Jane: Well, except the bad guy, of course, but he was an assassin.
  • Teresa Lisbon: I understand, mission accomplished. But in the middle of our mission, you directed me to go somewhere that had nothing to do with the mission.
  • Patrick Jane: Yeah, I was concerned about your safety.
  • Teresa Lisbon: You don't get it.
  • Patrick Jane: I don't get what?
  • Teresa Lisbon: I'm an FBI agent.
  • Patrick Jane: Uh, I think I do get that.
  • Teresa Lisbon: No, I don't think you do.
  • Kimball Cho: [breaking into Peterson's house] Sixty seconds.
  • Patrick Jane: Yeah, nothing like a little adrenaline to get the mind fired up. I'm gonna need some quiet. Cat alert, nine o'clock.
  • Kimball Cho: Yeah, I'm not touching that.
  • [Lisbon rolls her eyes and leaves]
  • Kimball Cho: Time's running out.
  • Patrick Jane: Have a little faith.
  • [disabling the alarm]
  • Patrick Jane: There. Got it.
  • Kimball Cho: How'd you do that?
  • Teresa Lisbon: Wylie texted it to him.
  • Patrick Jane: No, he didn't.
  • Teresa Lisbon: When he hacked into the security system, he saw Peterson punch in the code. I saw you looking at your phone.
  • Patrick Jane: Lisbon, you're killing the magic here.
  • Jason Wylie: Peterson's checked into a hotel just outside Rio Bravo. It's where he worked with Abbott, right?
  • Teresa Lisbon: Yeah. Ten years ago.
  • Jason Wylie: I checked his phone record. The only call that stuck out was to a San Antonio Congressman this afternoon. Representative Jules Blatt.
  • Teresa Lisbon: I've heard of him. He's a nobody trying to make a name for himself.
  • Patrick Jane: Well, if he could block Lena Abbott's confirmation, it would buff his reputation in certain circles, wouldn't it?
  • Teresa Lisbon: Well, how would Peterson going to Rio Bravo help that?
  • Patrick Jane: I don't know. The hearings start in four days, so if Peterson wants to make trouble, now is the time to do it.
  • Teresa Lisbon: What does he think Peterson has on him?
  • Patrick Jane: The bullet.
  • Teresa Lisbon: Well, if he does, then Abbott's toast.
  • Patrick Jane: Well, that's a little pessimistic.
  • Teresa Lisbon: Well, I guess this isn't just about Lena's confirmation. Abbott will lose his job. He could go to prison.
  • Patrick Jane: I don't think that's gonna happen.
  • Teresa Lisbon: Why not?
  • Patrick Jane: We'll prevent it.
  • Teresa Lisbon: In four days? How?
  • Patrick Jane: [lying down on his couch] I'm not quite sure yet.
  • Teresa Lisbon: Jane, this is serious.
  • Patrick Jane: I know. Don't you love it when the stakes are high?
  • Kimball Cho: So, what's your plan?
  • Patrick Jane: Well, pick the lock, open the door, see what happens.
  • Teresa Lisbon: What'll happen is the alarm will go off.
  • Patrick Jane: Not right away. Alarms give you a minute to ninety second grace period before they alert anyone. That should give me enough time to figure out the passcode.
  • Teresa Lisbon: Figure it out how?
  • Patrick Jane: The way I figure things out.
  • Kimball Cho: That's your plan?
  • Patrick Jane: Yeah, pretty much.
  • Patrick Jane: Oh, this is a problem.
  • Teresa Lisbon: Don't you know how to open a safe?
  • Kimball Cho: Biometrics. We need Peterson's thumbprint to open that.
  • Teresa Lisbon: Well, what are we gonna do?
  • Patrick Jane: Okay, so we go to the backup plan.
  • Kimball Cho: What's that?
  • Teresa Lisbon: We have about forty minutes left.
  • Patrick Jane: [dialing his phone] If we can't get to Peterson's money, we use our own money.
  • Teresa Lisbon: What money?
  • Patrick Jane: [the line picks up] Uh, Wylie. I need you to get into the evidence room and get us some cash.
  • Jason Wylie: How much?
  • Patrick Jane: At least a million dollars. Two would be better.
  • Jason Wylie: That's... big. I'm... I'm not sure how I do that.
  • Patrick Jane: Do your best.
