The Mentalist (2008–2015): Season 2, Episode 6 - Black Gold and Red Blood - full transcript

Countryside welder Kirby Hines (29) has been killed and dragged onto land, the disputed oil rights on which are worth millions. His widow Donna and family hide secrets. Patrick can only advise from a distance, being jailed on a charge of abusing CBI information in his search for Red John. While the team tries to get Sam Bosco to rescind the charge, Jane expertly manipulates his jail mates, and even arranges to get a suspect in the Hines case to get arrested and jailed.

Sutter Valley Meadow, California

We got Kirby Hines,
29-year-old local boy, welder.

That's pretty much all we got.

Local PD has stomped
all over the crime scene,

so I don't think
forensics will be any use.

It's like they don't even watch TV.

Every toddler knows this stuff.

Hey, Lisbon. How you doing?

Hey, Pat. Long time. What's the deal?

TOD looks to be yesterday afternoon,
give or take.

Your standard blunt-force trauma
to the back of the head...



Maybe one strike followed
by a couple of real widow makers.

Length of wood, I'm guessing.

What's that on his face, likes glitter.

Yep.

Riding that disco farm boy tip.

His family's here.

Gonna get ugly, I expect.

I'll see you later.

Rigsby, Van Pelt, work the body. Cho.

Interesting.

I feel like Jane knows about us.

No, he doesn't. How would he know?

I know we've been cool.

- It's just it feels like he knows.
- You're being paranoid.



Just because I'm being paranoid

doesn't mean that Jane doesn't know.

Don't tell me you didn't kill him,

I got nothing against him

that poor boy is lying there.

He's just fool enough
to marry your daughter.

You are going down

You're dead.

- Bring it right ahead, Dooley! Here I stand.
- You're dead!

That's enough. That's enough.

You step out of my room

Here I am, Dooley!

Back off, man!
We're grieving, you clown!

- Why don't you back up?!
- You make me, pissant.

How is that feel?

- Nicely done.
- You're under arrest. Let's go.

Sir, let me get this straight.

The victim's wife is Donna Hines,

and it was her brother Rod Gerber

that told you to step back.
Is that right?

My name is Theodore Luscom.

I am a citizen of free California.

The so-called federal and
state authorities you work for

are not legitimate.

Therefore, I do not recognize your right

to arrest or question me.

- Oh, please.
- You don't know it,

but you people are just
tools of the United Nations.

We know it.

- They told us last June, laid it all out.
- Say what?

There was a change of policy.
Had a big secretive meeting,

told us exactly who we're working for.

That, my friend, was an eye-opener,

- I tell you.
- Are you mocking me?

I'm serious. They told us...
the whole grand plan.

Hush. Ignore him, Mr. Luscom.

Good stuff.

Just ignore me.

- Lisbon?
- Bosco. What's up?

You're not gonna like
what I'm about to do,

- but you're gonna have to deal with it.
- What?

- Bosco.
- Hi Jane. You're under arrest.

What the hell?

What are you doing, Bosco?

Hook him up.

It's a microphone transmitter

located during an
electronic sweep of our offices.

That is a dedicated receiver to the unit

which I found in Jane's desk.

Is this true, Jane?
You were spying on Bosco and his team?

"Spying" is such an ugly word.

More just keeping a
friendly eye on things.

- Did you know about this?
- Of course not.

I would have never allowed this.

She would never.

You understand this is a
serious criminal offense?

Come on.

Eavesdropping is a felony

under section 632 of the penal code,

punishable by up to one year in prison.

How could you be so stupid?

He has the Red John case.

He won't keep me informed.

So I have to keep myself informed.

I was low-key about it.

I could have turned on his agents

or used blackmail or bribery. I didn't.

Thanks for your restraint.
We can resolve this easily.

It's your choice.

How's that?

If Jane resigns immediately

and agrees to never return to the CBI,

I will ask the AG not to file charges.

Boss.

You know Bosco has the right of it.
Nothing I can do.

Nothing I want to do, frankly.
He crossed a line.

What's it gonna be, Jane?

Charge me.

I'll see you in court.

I'm not gonna leave the CBI
just 'cause you tell me to.

If I charge you,
you'll go to jail now... today...

And you can't apply
for bail till Tuesday.

So that's three days and nights in jail.

This is a new experience. I welcome it.

Don't be stupid. This is serious.

Come on, Sam.
You really want to do this?

I just did. Malloy!

He's ready to go.

Open two.

Hi guys.

Pete.

Did you see any vermin
out in the corridor there?

Vermin?

Mice.

See? Told you. You're paranoid, man.

I know what I saw.

I know what I saw.

The arresting officer
advises protective custody.

Are you a cop or a child rapist?

Neither.

What do you need
protective custody for, then?

Well, I guess I don't.

Your funeral.

They're just playing with you.

Stop.

Open up number eight.

Hi. Nice to meet you.

What you in for?

Oh, me? Uh, eavesdropping
on a state agent.

Hmm. You?

They say I raped and murdered a guy,

stabbed him to death.

- But it's not true.
- Oh, that's good.

We had consensual sex.
Then I stabbed him to death.

Okay.

You get the top bunk.

I like the top bunk.

I know. I know.
It's sad and it's stupid,

but Jane was bound to
self-destruct eventually.

We all knew that.

But, boss, come on.
There must be something...

Let's get back to the case, shall we?

Is that the book we found on the victim?

Yeah, Kirby wouldn't win
any penmanship awards.

- It's mostly illegible.
- Lots of numbers. Times, maybe?

Map coordinates. Bible citations.

There's a few names
I can make out... Jay, Martin.

And then on this page...

"Vultures!!!"?

Somebody's preying on him,
waiting for him to die?

Preying on him for what, though?
He wasn't a rich man.

Cho, get to work on Ted Luscom.

Van Pelt and I are gonna go

talk to Kirby's family in the morning.

- Rigsby, get on the Hineses.
- Okay, you got it.

So, Ted, tell us about your beef

with Kirby Hines and the Gerbers.

I get to call you
by your first name, too?

If you like. I'm Kimball.

Ain't you smooth and easygoing.

That 10 acres where Kirby died...

That was my grandfather's land.

20 years back, my father's
brother Roy stole it

from us rightful progeny

and fraudulently sold it
to the Gerbers, who knew.

The Gerbers knew he stole it.

And how much is 10 acres
of land worth around there?

Oh, hell, man. It ain't the land.

It's what's under it... Oil sands.

It used to be worthless.
Cost too much to pump out.

But with the price of oil sky-high,

oil sands are worth workin'.

We're talking $50 million,
$60 million to the landowners.

So you took the Gerbers to court.

Yeah...

Last year.

And what do you think happened?

You got nothing.

Zero.

I knew I shouldn't have wasted my time,

but the deceit and
dishonesty has made me mad.

Where were you yesterday, Ted?

Well, I was several places, Kimball.

We're gonna need a list.

"We"? I only see one of you.

I and the state machinery oppression's

gonna need a list.

Well, I will think it over.

Some people just
don't have that facility.

I'm sure your father
loved you in his way.

He just didn't have the
tools to express that love.

You know what, man?

I really appreciate you
listening to me, man.

Please, Boo. What are cellmates for?

So listen.

Listening.

About the, uh,

unfortunate situation with Jane,

I want you to know

that my beef is only with him.

I got no problem with you
or your people.

It was a big mistake bringing
in a whack job like him,

but that's in the past now.

You and me...

You and me always had a
good working relationship,

and I hope that can continue.

Okay.

I listened.

So we're cool?

You did what you thought was right.

I need to think about it before
I know whether we're cool.

Okay.

Okay, fair enough.

Good night, Jane.

Good night, pal.

And don't worry about tomorrow morning.

Why would I need to worry
about tomorrow morning?

There are some scary people here.

They all know you're a cop.

How would they know that?
I'm not... I'm not really a cop.

Well, then you'll be fine.

Besides, they got real excellent
medical facilities here.

Gerber Family Property

Grace?

Sorry.

Is something wrong?

No. I was... I was thinking about Jane.
I hope he's all right.

He'll be fine.
Maybe he'll learn something.

Hi. Are you Gail?

Yes.

Is your mom here?

Yes.

Are you from the police?

Yes, we are.
Can you take us to your mom?

Are you gonna bring my daddy home?

No, sweetie, I'm sorry.
We can't do that.

What?

Good morning, everybody.

Morning, pig.

Thank you for raising that issue.

Let me address that.

You believe me to be a policeman
of some kind. That is not true.

I am not a policeman,
nor have I ever been one.

I do work with the police.
I use my skills to catch murderers,

though rarely do I deal

with professionals such as yourselves.

What skills?

Mm. People skills.

You show me your skills, little brother.

You...

You...

are the shot-caller in here.

You come from the Bay Area.

You like to sniff some kind
of glue or solvent to get high.

You wish you could quit,
because you think it makes you

- look weak in front of your peers.
- Is that right?

Yes, but you needn't worry,

because the way you
are when you get high

makes everybody even
more scared of you, right?

Hell yeah, man. Yeah.

I don't think I like you much.

If you stop seeing the world
in terms of what you like

and what you dislike and saw things

for what they truly are in themselves,

you would find a great deal
more peace in your life.

And I can help you
with that if you want.

I, uh...

Think about it.
Where's the phone in here?

- I need to make a call.
- Over there.

Thanks.

This is nice. Thank you.

Mm. Did you make these?

We both did. Mmm.

- We're keeping ourselves busy.
- Delicious.

Your show's in the VCR, baby,
if you want to watch it a while.

Okay.

We're sorry for your loss, Donna.

It's hard.

It's hard.

Just when things were getting better.

Things were going badly?

Marriage stuff.

Me and Kobe have been together
since junior high.

- People change when they grow up.
- How so?

Um, we kind of drifted, I guess.

My family, the Gerbers...
We're very close.

It can be too much what with us
living here together and all.

Kobe got to feeling kind
of squashed up against them.

He was a lone wolf type.

Liked to be in the woods
on his own, you know?

Was there anyone in particular
he had a problem with

or who had a problem with him?

No. No. Just me.

Like I say we have been
doing better recently

he's been more honesty with me,
opening up about his feelings.

- You know men can be.
- Yes, we do.

- Money problems?
- No, m'am, Kirby was a skilled father.

Always a good provider
and I'm proud of it.

And you have the oil money coming in.

Yes, m'am.

How much do your cousins get?

They say each of single cousins
will get around 80,000 dollars a year.

I have to point this out, Donna.

I get a strong motive here.

Kirby is entitled half of your money,
if your marriage is in trouble

that would make you pretty
unhappy, wouldn't it?

Our marriage isn't in trouble.

Connor tells us there are many
unhealed brushes on his body.

Which suggests three weeks before his death,
Kirby was pretty badly beaten up.

I don't know anything about that.

Next time you feel the urge to get high,

maybe you will see
your mother's smiling face.

Maybe you will feel more safe and happy.

Maybe you will realise that
your feeling get from drugs,

is illusion.

Nothing more than chemicals
swaying around your brain.

Jane you may change
to the visiting room.

More later. You are doing great.

That's case paper work so far.

That's the copy
of the victim's notebook.

Nothing than Sudoku puzzles.

- Still like losing for us?
- He's got attitude and motive.

The connors' said Kirby was badly
beaten up a month ago, at which time

he was in custody on a DY
and resisting-arrest beef.

- Could've been one of the lost friends there.
- Only hans never reported beating,

didn't go to hospital neither
wife had acknowledge of it.

And I think Kirby's wife might keep the
beating quiet 'cause it's a family matter.

That's what's with
the father in law now.

Kirby was beaten list month?
I don't recall that.

Judging by the react I asked about her,
seems like a family matter.

Maybe you and you son, Donny
got in their marrital problem?

No, m'am, that's way off.

- Well, hey, baby cakes.
- Hi.

- You okay? Are you sick or something?
- Do I look sick?

Well, it's not like you
walking around in sweats,

- no makeup, your hair all up like that.
- Well, excuse me.

My stepdaughter's husband just died.

- I'm grieving.
- That's cool. that's cool.

- Who's your friend?
- Oh, this is agent

Lisbon from CBI, coming about for Kirby.

My wife Sandrine.

Hmm. I need to go to the mall.

What's your theory, Sandrine?

Who killed Kirby?

Well, I don't know.
Do I have to have an answer?

- I thought that was you guys' job.
- Worth asking.

I'll be honest. I'm sorry Kirby's dead,
but I'm not sorry

my daughter isn't married
to a loser anymore.

And why was he a loser?

He was a buzzkill.

The Gerber family's moving on up,
and Kirby didn't like that.

He liked being poor and whatever.

No vision. Donna deserves
more than that. Right, Sand?

Mm-hmm. She's a treasure.

Agent Bosco, a word?

Sure.

I know you're busy,
so I won't take up your time

shooting the breeze,
beating around the bush and all.

That's what you're doing.

We want to talk about Jane.

Look, we know that
Jane crossed the line.

But you help us out here and, uh,

we'll be extremely grateful.
We'll owe you big-time.

Oh, okay. I see.

So let's say I, uh,
reach out for you to do some stuff.

What kind of stuff?

Well, the kind of stuff that
needs to get done sometimes.

You know, to take the bad guys down,

keep the good guys walking around.

Nothing illegal. Maybe a little

rule bending on the download.

That's no problem.

See, that's my exact point.

There is a problem.

There's no rule bending in the CBI.

You two guys are good agents,
but Jane'scorrupted you.

No, he hasn't.

So you were ready to bend
the rules before he got here?

- Thanks for your time.
- Nice talking to you.

"Vultures!!", "Vultures!!"

What does that mean?

Who are Jay and Martin?

You know, vultures pee on
their legs to cool themselves.

Hmm. Is that right?

Yes, of course.

- What does "Vultures!!!" mean?
- Vultures are birds.

No kidding.

Hines was a bird-watcher.

That's why he had binoculars.

He saw Jays and Martins

and vultures.

Got it. Good. So that's a dead-end.

No, on the contrary, it's a breakthrough.

I need to speak with Roddy Gerber.

I gotta ask him some questions.

Well, Rigsby's gone there in the meaing.

Tell me, and I'll tell
Rigsby what to ask him.

Oh, now where is the funny for me.

- Can't you bring Gerber in here?
- No.

Okay, no problem. I'll sort it out.

- I'll call you back.
- Wait. You...

Hey, jaily.

Uh, listen, I just want
to give you the heads-up.

I have a very strong feeling
Roddy Gerber is gonna be

hostile and aggressive towards you,

so you should probably
be very careful with him.

Don't worry.
I think I can handle Roddy Gerber.

Well, I'm just warning you.

Apparently, he's a very tough guy.

Yeah, well, I'd like to
see or try something

we'll see how tough he is.

Whatever.

Roddy Gerber?

Yeah, who wants to know?

Agent Rigsby, CBI.

I'm on my way to your location.

I have a couple of questions
I'd like to ask you first...

- Discreetly.
- Yeah?

I've heard from a couple
of reliable sources

that you and Kirby Hines
were having an affair,

uh, some kind of sexual relationship.

- That's a damn lie.
- Are you sure, Roddy?

Lying to a CBI agent is
a very serious offense.

I was in the marine corps.

Oh, really? Well, that says it all.
I'm ex-army.

Marine corps suck eggs.

But, hey, no point
in arguing over the phone.

We'll sort this out when
I get out to your location.

Semper fi, sissy britches.

Roddy Gerber? Agent Rigsby, CBI.

Roddy.

Hey, thank you so much for coming.

So, Roddy, tell me about the vultures.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Sure you do.

I don't like your tone.

Man, we talking or we playing? Come on.

Kirby found turkey vultures
nesting on your land, didn't he?

No, he didn't.

Turkey vultures are dying out
because of a loss of habitat.

They're a protected species.

Is that right?

Yeah, it is.

Seriously now,
you're disrespecting the game.

Thank you.

One moment. They're protected,

which means if they're
nesting on your land,

you can't drill for the oil,
and you don't get rich.

That right?

Yes, it is.

So when Kirby tells you about the nest,

you tell Kirby to show
you where the nest is

- so that you can destroy it.
- No.

Only Kirby doesn't want to tell you,
so you beat him up

until he does tell you.
Then you go and you shoot

- the vultures, and you destroy the nest.
- No.

Bad luck to kill large
birds unless you eat 'em.

- You didn't eat 'em, did you?
- Hell no!

Ha! But you admit you shot 'em though.

They're vultures, man.

You think I'm gonna
give up a million bucks

over a couple ugly mothers
who eat dead people?

No frickin' way.

So you shot 'em.

Yeah, I did.

Anybody would.

I can't disagree.

And Kirby?

No, not me.

I kicked his ass, yeah.
I didn't kill him.

No need. What the
hell's he gonna do to me?

You swear on your mother's
grave you didn't kill Kirby?

I swear on my mom's grave
I didn't kill Kirby.

Interesting.

No, no, no.
I think you should take lead.

It's a female thing.

No, it's not.
She's female, that's all. He's not.

- You should take lead.
- Why me?

You're always being,
you know, too direct.

- She won't be offended.
- Who won't be offended?

Nothing. well...

Uh, we were thinking...

Thinking's good.

About?

We went to Bosco and asked him
to give Jane a break,

but he wouldn't.

So we were thinking maybe
if you went and asked Bosco

to let Jane go as a
personal favor to you,

between friends, he'd do it.

Why would you say that?

Well, you know... it's obvious.

He has a thing for you... sexual thing.

We're not saying you had
an affair with him.

- It's just that...
- He likes you a lot, it seems...

The way he looks at you sometimes.

You're mistaken.
Bosco has no particular liking for me,

and even if he did,
I wouldn't use it as leverage for Jane.

- Why not?
- Because the law is the law.

Jane broke the law,
and now he's got to pay the consequences.

Oh, hi, Jane.

I need you to come visit me.

Why? We're busy.

Please, Lisbon? It's really important.

I need to see you.
Also a blueberry muffin.

Looks like cranberry.

They didn't have any blueberry.
What's up?

Roddy Gerber's innocent.

That's it?

Pretty much. Well, no.

Roddy beat up Kirby so he'd tell him

where the protected
vultures were nesting

so Roddy could kill them,
but he says he didn't kill Kirby,

and I believe him.
He swore on his mother's grave.

That's interesting,

but you could have told me
that on the phone.

I needed a visitor so I could
get into the visitors room.

How I wish I had my gun.

Hey, crime-fighting's hard. Suck it up.

Look, that's why we're here.

- Dooley Gerber?
- I need to ask him a question.

- What question?
- Any question. It doesn't matter.

Can you keep the guard off me?
Could you, please?

Hey.

It's okay.

Dooley, you can tell me.

The truth is you killed your son-in-law.
Isn't that true?

And who are you now?

That's a very good answer.

Thank you.

So? What'd you learn?

Well, that was just a control question.

The next question I ask him
is the critical one.

You know what? I don't need my gun.

I can just hit you with my chair.

I think you'll find
it's bolted to the floor.

Do you understand
what's happening to you?

You could get a prison sentence.

I understand that
you're keeping me in jail

in the hopes that you will
teach me a lesson.

It's not gonna work.

I am not keeping you in jail.

The law is keeping you in jail.

The law, as played by Sam Bosco,

and you can make Sam Bosco
do anything whenever you like.

Right. Because he's so in love with me,

I can make him do whatever he could.

Yes.

No. No, I was only saying
that because that's what Rigsby

and the guys were just saying.

It's total nonsense.

Sam Bosco is a happily married man.

He hasn't the faintest interest
in me that way.

I have no influence over him whatsoever.

The guys noticed it, too?
I'm impressed.

He's very recessive in his passions.

Hard to spot that
he'd kill and die for you.

Trust me, you are way off.

Interesting puzzle you present.

Lies and truth all mixed together.

Look, I hope we can get you
out of this mess.

But it's also true that I do hope that

you learn a lesson from this.

There are real boundaries in life.

These are real prison walls.

Only in your mind, Lisbon.
Only in your mind.

Hey, help! Hey, help! Hey, deputy!

Hey, hey, man, we got a man down, man!

He ain't moving! Deputy,

I got a man down! Help me!

Oh, crap.

We have an inmate down, level nine.

Number eight out like a light.

- Did you do this?
- No, man, I didn't touch him, man!

He just ain't movin', man!

'Sup with him?

Damned if I know.
He was like this when I got there.

Okay, leave him here.
I'll call the medic.

You guys go get back on post.

Got a customer for you.

No.

Okay.

What are you saying?

My hand.

Hand?

Steve, come quick.

We got a problem, Steve. I need help.

I need help!

Hey! Someone! Someone!

Prisoner loose!
There's a prisoner loose!

Help!

Help!

Help, someone!

After you.

Help! Somebody!

Lisbon, I had a horrible dream.

I dreamt that Jane
escaped the county jail.

I dreamt that the sheriff,
the AG and the district super

all called to yell at me.

Now you're gonna wake me up, yes?

I'm sorry, sir.
I have no excuse for him.

He is beyond out of line.

He's blown it, all right.

We have an APB out,

but maybe you can contact him,

persuade him to coming quiet.

Nobody wants him to get hurt.

Contact him how? Persuade him how?

You two are close. He'll listen to you.

- That's very funny.
- Why is it funny?

It just is.

Hi, Sam.

It's me.

Where are you?

Dooley Gerber's house.

If you send the sheriff over,

I'll have Kirby's killer
in ten minutes or so.

Jane, you damn fool!

Thank you.

What the hell are you talking about?

You said you had Kirby's killer.

Not yet, but I like to be an optimist.

You wouldn't have the makings
of a cup of tea, would you?

Thank you.

You're welcome.

So listen, uh, Roddy
told me about the vultures

and what he did to Kirby.

How did you cope with that Donna?

Your husband being
beaten by your brother?

How did you feel about that?

Angry.

With who?

Myself, my family.

Kirby was a good man,
and I let him down.

No. No, daddy, it's true.
I let the money blind me.

We all did.

- Excuse me. I got stuff to do.
- Oh, please don't go, Sandrine.

I was just gonna say how funny it is

when you have a big family fight,
it can clarify a situation.

- Do you think that happened at all?
- I wish.

Maybe Kirby found clarity.

Maybe kirby realized how, uh,
important it was

for him to be truthful.

When we found poor Kirby,

he had some flecks of
glitter on his face.

And when I saw you, Dooley,
at the prison,

you had some glitter on your face, too,

which means you and Kirby
were in close contact

to the same woman.

A woman who likes to wear glitter.

That would be you, Sandrine.

You're stupid.

Often.

But I now also see that
neither Dooley nor Donna

had any notion of this
connection between you and he,

which means Kirby was
very considerate...

Considerate enough to warn you
before he came clean

about your affair.

Oh, baby, I swear on my life
there was no affair.

Sure there was.
You were bored and frustrated.

- He was available.
- No, no, no.

Kirby soon found out what
kind of woman you are,

and he broke it off, yes?

He wanted to get out of Sutter Valley.

He wanted to start
a new life with his wife.

The woman that he actually did love.

But first he felt compelled

to have to tell everybody
the truth, the fool.

He was gonna ruin
your life over what... Some birds?

For a beating that he possibly deserved?

Why would he do that?
You begged him not to tell.

You begged him,
and he just wouldn't listen.

This is all a lie.

That never happened.

Yeah, you had to kill him
right there and then.

No! No! It's a lie. It's a lie.

I'm sorry, Sandrine, but we have

conclusive for forensic evidence

from our boys at the crime lab.

The glitter on Kirby's face
covered in your DNA.... Covered.

And DNA doesn't lie.

I don't know where that came from,

'cause it wasn't me.

Police are on their way, Sandrine.

I would be honest with your family,

'cause you may not see them for a while.

Sandrine.

Sandrine. Sandrine!

Oh, please! Tell me that it isn't true.
Just tell me.

He made me do it.

- He made you do it, huh?
- No, he... he made me do it!

- She'll... she'll have her punishment.
- Not enough!

Patrick Jane, we know you're in there.

Come out with your hands up.

Uh, yes, it's me they're after, not you.

And there is no DNA evidence either.

That scientific, forensic stuff.

It's... it's all overrated.

Thank you for the tea.

- No take-backs.
- But you just...

Ah, ah. No whoop.

I'm coming out! Don't shoot.

Bye.

Thank you.

So...

So...

Jane got a confession
from Sandrine Gerber.

Case closed.

Yeah, the AG likely won't make it stick,

what with his key witness
being in jail himself...

In for a good, long spell once

added in the skip charges.

That's what I wanted
to talk to you about.

I thought this would
teach Jane a lesson.

I thought he'd back down
or apologize, but he didn't,

and now it's gone too far.
You gotta let him go.

If you drop the charges,
the AG won't chase it.

What if I don't want to do that?

Don't make me go there, Sam.

What are you saying, exactly?

You know what I'm saying.

I'll talk about what happened
eight years ago.

You'd go there?

Really?

I don't believe you.

Believe me. Here I am.

You would ruin our lives,

our careers,

over Jane?

Does he mean that much to you?

He closes cases.

"He closes cases."

Is that all it is?

I'm telling you if you
don't let Jane go, I'll talk.

That's all.

What are you gonna do?

Yeah, okay, you did good.

- But there's two things puzzling me.
- Yeah?

How did you get out of jail,

and how did you get a change of clothes?

Ah, well, I'm glad
you asked that question.

- It was very... Hey, Lisbon.
- Hey.

- Simple.
- So they let you out, then?

Yes, uh, they did. Thank you very much.

Nothing do with me.

So modest.

Ah, right. Bosco's so in love with me,

he'll do whatever I say.

Yes. Yeah, it's a little far-fetched.

He does love you. How could he not?

But he's not the type to
bend his principles over love.

So I figure it's
something more concrete.

- You must have something on him.
- You think?

Yes, something he did wrong,

something very bad that you know about.

Now he's not the type
to steal or do drugs,

so my guess... He hurt someone.

He killed him.

He killed a bad guy that he
couldn't catch any other way.

No.

Yes, and you helped him do it.

No... You found out after the fact,

and you... let him off the hook

because the bad guy deserved it.

No.

I'm touched that you would risk
your career over me.

That means a lot to me.

If you're right,
and I'm not saying you are,

it would mean I broke
the trust of somebody

I respect and admire for your sake.

If it is true,
I would hope in the future

you'd be a little bit
more mature and responsible

in your behavior.

I'm grateful and all that,
but let's not go crazy here.

I should have let you rot in jail.
