Judgment Day (2012)

Patricia Kalember: Ms. Holloman

Quotes 

• Ms. Holloman : State your name and relationship to Neal Caffrey for the record, please.

  Peter Burke : Special Agent Peter Burke. I've been Neal Caffrey's handler at the Federal Bureau of Investigation, since his release into our custody.

  Ms. Holloman : You caught him?

  Peter Burke : Twice. And you should know, the last time I caught him, he was sitting alone in an empty apartment. He had nothing. No one.

  Ms. Holloman : And now?

  Peter Burke : He has a life. A real life here. One that keeps him grounded... and decent. As you've heard, there are many people who care about Neal, people who see him as more than just a criminal. He's frustrating, I'll admit. He drives me crazy on his best days. I don't always have to know where Neal is, or what he's up to. But I do know that he has a good heart... and a set of principles that weren't there six years ago, when he was just another case file that got dropped on my desk.

  Ms. Holloman : Do you think Mr. Caffrey is reformed?

  Peter Burke : As long as he's on that anklet, we'll never know. We can sit here until kingdom come and debate over 'who is Neal Caffrey'. But as long as we keep him tethered, as long as we treat him like a criminal, he'll always think that he is one. Whether Neal is a citizen, a C.I or a thief, is a decision that needs to be put into his hands.
