Quotes 

• Patrick Jane : Yeah, it's Red John all right. But someone else is involved. Else why would he change his M.O. so radically. Skywriting?

  Teresa Lisbon : Well, he wanted to make sure that the CBI, that *you*, would be put on the case. He's obviously trying to lure you into some kind of trap.

  Patrick Jane : Well that's part of it. But why take them from a car instead of catching them home alone like he's always done before. And why two victims at once? Twins. Why break pattern?

  Teresa Lisbon : He's broken pattern before.

  Patrick Jane : Yes. Because it was personal. He wanted to punish me.

• Patrick Jane : And he would have lead you straight to Red John.

  Teresa Lisbon : You'd be dead.

  Patrick Jane : But you would have Red John.

  Teresa Lisbon : I don't think you mean what you say. I think you'd choose life.

  Patrick Jane : Well, you think wrong.

  Teresa Lisbon : No. No. You think wrong. Can't you see there's people who care about you, who need you? You're being selfish and childish. And I want you to stop it.

• Teresa Lisbon : [to Sheriff Hardy about Jane]  If he does anything wrong, if he jaywalks, shoot him!

• Patrick Jane : [to a witness]  Please understand something... I have a *very* deep personal interest in this case. I'll do whatever it takes. I will have you framed for murder. I will torture you. I will kill you myself if I have to. Whatever it takes.

  Virgil Minelli : [From behind the glass]  Geez, Lisbon. Come on, this is on tape. Control your man there.

  Teresa Lisbon : Cut him some slack. Look, he's just playing the guy. He doesn't mean it.

  Virgil Minelli : Doesn't he?

• Teresa Lisbon : Cut him some slack. He's just playing the guy. He doesn't mean it.

  Virgil Minelli : Doesn't he? You know what Red John does to him. He can't think straight. He would do all that *and* more, if you let him.

  Teresa Lisbon : I won't let him!

• Patrick Jane : If we catch Red John, he's not walking anywhere. He's mine.

  Teresa Lisbon : Don't talk like that. I can't let you anywhere near the case if you start talking crazy like that.

  Patrick Jane : Crazy? *You're* crazy if you think you're gonna stop me. Red John is mine! You try to stand in my way and you - I - you - you will regret it.

• Teresa Lisbon : I've had it with you and your egotistical crap! This - this isn't about justice or the law. This is about you and your wounded pride. I'm done with it!

• Sheriff Hardy : How'd you know it was me?

  Teresa Lisbon : Don't move!

  Patrick Jane : Rosalind mentioned that Dumar was a heavy smoker who was trying to quit. And you, you chew on those nicotine gums all day long.

• Patrick Jane : Lisbon? Look.

  Teresa Lisbon : Oh, damn.

  Patrick Jane : Yeah.

  Teresa Lisbon : No, it's... it's a coincidence.

  Kimball Cho : That's what I said.

  Patrick Jane : No. No such thing as a coincidence. Not with him.

  Sheriff Hardy : What are you all talking about? Who's "him"?

  Grace Van Pelt : Red John. He's a serial killer. This is his style of cutting.

  Patrick Jane : Look at the toenails.

  Teresa Lisbon : Yeah, I see them.

  Patrick Jane : Painted in her own blood, just like my wife. This is Red John, and he wants to make sure I was on this case.
