-
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.
-
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?
-
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.
-
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.
-
Sheriff Hardy : You recall a man by the name of Orville Tanner?
Patrick Jane : Yeah. Red John's accomplice in his first killing. He was caught. Died ten years ago in jail.
Sheriff Hardy : That's the man. I'm his son, Dumar. This is the family farm. He was a good man. A good father. He wrote me every week until the day he died, you know? Taught me everything I know.
Patrick Jane : And Red John?
Sheriff Hardy : Friend of my father's, and a close friend of mine, I'm proud to say.
Patrick Jane : He doesn't have friends. He has tools.
-
Patrick Jane : Arden, do you always follow your husband's lead? Do you never struggle against his desire to control?
Noah Plaskett : Excuse me?
Patrick Jane : [to Arden Plaskett] You drink too much. Doesn't mean you don't have a say. I should think he's at least half the reason you drink in the first place.
