Quotes 

• Kimball Cho : Boss wants us back.

  Patrick Jane : [taking Cho's phone]  Lisbon, you find something?

  Teresa Lisbon : The knife that killed Parkman at the site of Rigsby's carjacking.

  Patrick Jane : What was the carjacking victim's name?

  Teresa Lisbon : Frost. Devin Frost.

  Patrick Jane : [covering the phone speaker, to Mylar]  Tell me about Devin Frost.

  Bill Mylar : Devin? He used to work here. He's a good kid.

  Patrick Jane : Interesting news. The plot thickens.

  [raising the phone again] 

  Patrick Jane : Plot thickens. Lisbon?

  [hanging up and handing the phone back to Cho] 

  Patrick Jane : She's gone.

• Teresa Lisbon : When Parkman was stabbed, the knife glanced over the rib and barely nicked the aorta. Haffner wasn't lying; the coroner says that there was a struggle after the stabbing that caused the nick to tear, and that's what started the hemorrhaging that killed Parkman.

  [glancing out the office window, Jane notices Cho leaving with Kira] 

  Teresa Lisbon : And... and if Frost and Parkman were really struggling, and that's what caused the hemorrhage, how is it that Frost didn't get Parkman's blood all over him? And how did he avoid tracking bloody footprints out of the room?

  [as she talks, Jane laughs to himself] 

  Teresa Lisbon : Jane?

  Patrick Jane : I just solved the case.

• Hotel Security : When I was outside the room, I heard them struggling. Then heard the victim cry out when he was stabbed. But then I got the door open, he was all alone.

  Teresa Lisbon : Window's open.

  Patrick Jane : It's a long way down. And a long way up to the roof. I don't think he went that way.

  Hotel Security : So, what? Magic?

  Patrick Jane : Nope. Just a trick.

  Ray Haffner : [entering]  And we all know how good you are at those, don't we? Tricks, I mean. Hey, Teresa.

  Teresa Lisbon : Ray. What are you doing here? You don't work at the CBI anymore.

  Ray Haffner : I'm with a client.

  Patrick Jane : He works for Visualize.

  Jason Cooper : [entering behind Ray]  He does. And this is a Visualize matter.

  Hotel Security : Who are they?

  Patrick Jane : Uh, this is Jason Cooper. Errand boy for cult leader Bret Stiles, and Ray Haffner, who is a member of the cult.

  Jason Cooper : Visualize is not a cult. And it is exactly bigotry like that that leads to murders like this.

• Jason Cooper : Chad Parkman was a prominent member of the Visualize community. We view his murder as a hate crime. Mr. Haffner is to be included in your investigation.

  Ray Haffner : Purely as a victim's advocate. But I do like the idea of working with you again, Teresa.

  Teresa Lisbon : I appreciate your concern, Mr. Cooper, but we never let civilians in our investigations, ever.

  Ray Haffner : [gesturing to Jane]  Never ever?

  Teresa Lisbon : Well, he's... he's different.

  Patrick Jane : I'm different.

• Grace Van Pelt : So, our victim, Chad Parkman, was a successful Olympic gymnastics coach. He had a facility out in Marin.

  Teresa Lisbon : What was he doing at the hotel?

  Grace Van Pelt : Sports health conference. He was the keynote speaker.

  Teresa Lisbon : Hmm. What about the Visualize angle? Did you find anything there?

  Grace Van Pelt : Nothing IDing him as a member. You think Cooper's lying?

  Teresa Lisbon : I don't know. If Bret Stiles sends his second-in-command and private security, it's important to Visualize somehow.

• Wayne Rigsby : A weird report just came over my desk. It's about Bob Kirkland.

  Kimball Cho : What, the psychotic Homeland Security agent we arrested?

  Wayne Rigsby : Yeah. He's dead.

  Teresa Lisbon : Dead? How'd he die?

  Wayne Rigsby : The report says he was killed attempting to escape from prison.

  Teresa Lisbon : Seriously?

  Wayne Rigsby : Doesn't sound right, does it?

  Kimball Cho : No. It doesn't.

  Wayne Rigsby : I should check it out, right?

  Teresa Lisbon : Find out what happened and why.

  Wayne Rigsby : Will do, boss.

• Grace Van Pelt : Boss, just got Frost's phone records. Look at this. That's Ray Haffner's cell phone. Frost called it three times the week before he stabbed Parkman.

  Patrick Jane : Well, let's go see what brother Ray has to say about that.

  Teresa Lisbon : He's not here. He went to the hotel. He said he had to check on something.

  Patrick Jane : We'll go there.

  Teresa Lisbon : No, you stay here. Grace and I will go.

  Patrick Jane : Don't be ridiculous.

  Teresa Lisbon : We'll be fine. He's more likely to let something slip to us than he would to you.

  Patrick Jane : All right. But what am I supposed to do? Just sit around?

  Teresa Lisbon : Well, we still haven't figured out how Frost got out of the hotel room after he stabbed Parkman.

  Patrick Jane : Except Frost couldn't have been there in the first place, could he?

  Teresa Lisbon : You said it was a trick. Figure it out.

• Patrick Jane : Lisbon, can I ask a favor?

  Teresa Lisbon : What?

  Patrick Jane : Uh, can you go get one of those elastic exercise bands? The kind that help you stretch with?

  Teresa Lisbon : What do you need one of those for?

  Patrick Jane : Bring it to Parkman's hotel room. I'll meet you there.

• Patrick Jane : Grace needs to trace this immediately.

  Teresa Lisbon : Why? What's going on?

  Patrick Jane : Cooper wasn't lying. He didn't bug the CBI.

  Teresa Lisbon : Well, who did?

  Patrick Jane : Red John. We need to find Kira Tinsley. She either works for Red John or she's about to become his next victim.

• [last lines] 

  Teresa Lisbon : What did she say?

  Patrick Jane : She told me Red John has a tattoo on his left shoulder. Three dots. That's my leverage. I got him.

• Wayne Rigsby : Hey, boss. Just got a call on the radio. Another homicide nearby. Attempted carjacking, looks like.

  Teresa Lisbon : Related?

  Wayne Rigsby : Probably not. Thought I'd check it out.

  Teresa Lisbon : All right. Come back as quick as you can.
