Simon Baker: Patrick Jane

Red John's Footsteps

Patrick Jane

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: 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: [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.
