The Mentalist
Season02 Episode07 Red Bulls

Sir, the important
thing is nobody got hurt.



All respect to your people, lisbon,

the important thing is we make sure
that this does not happen again.

"CBI agents shoot each other" is
not a headline that I want to see.

We came in hot because we thought
the kidnap victim was there.

- Mia somebody.
- Mia westlake.

Marin county heiress. She was
taken a day and a half ago.

Witness gave us a partial
plate on the kidnapper's car.

We dug up an outstanding parking ticket
to a car in oakland, chked the address,

Found there were people inside a
house that was supposed to be empty.

And he found you there because?

We got a call from the coroner's bureau.

There was a report of
a corpse in a house.

But they were
shorthanded-- budget cuts--

So they asked us to go and check it out.

My team went in the house.

The corpse was there but the
coroner wasn't, so we waited.

And everyone almost died
in a hail of bullets.

Where are you with westlake?

We're set up inside the house.
We're waiting for a ransom demand.

What's with the corpse?

A young male dead three to five
years. Coroner couldn't be specific.

There were two bullet holes
in the base of the skull.

It was wrapped in plastic
and stored in a window seat.

- Do you have an i.d.?
- Not yet.

Yes yet. Coroner's report just
came in, and the corpse is...

- Colin haymer.
- Haymer?

Why do I recognize that name?

Colin haymer was a kidnap
victim three years ago.

Early 20s from san
francisco, wealthy family.

S.f.p.d.handled the case.
Family paid the ransom.

That didn't work. Eerily similar
to your kidnapping, don't you think?

Who wants to bet colin haymer's kidnapper's
the same kidnappers that kidnapped mia westlake?

- Well, could be a coincidence.
- There are no coincidences.

I agree.

I want your people teaming up on this.

- Is that necessary?
- I believe it is.

I want to foster better
inter-unit relations.

Let's stop stumbling into each
other and try working together.

- You have concerns.
- I do.

This man is a... A... I-i
don't even know what he is.

He's an accident waiting to happen.

Sam, be fair.

- He-- closes cases,
I know. - I do.

- He does.
- I do.

In my opinion, this is a mistake.

We're all agreed then.

Off you go.

Mia westlake was abducted 38 hours
ago coming home from a gallery opening.

- *****
- Thank you, rebecca.

Uh, you need anything else?

No, we're good. Thank you.

This is copies of the
case paperwork so far.

Now the kidnappers forced her car off the
road, killed the driver and then took her.

Why kill the driver?

It's a message. They won't hesitate to kill
the hostage if they don't get what they want.

Yes.

There's no ransom demand yet.
How do we know it's a kidnapping?

They sent the family a proof
of life a few hours later.

No blindfold. That's not good.

Means they don't care
if she sees anything.

Good thinking, bert.

What's your problem?

No problem.

Rigsby's correct. This is shaping
up to end like the haymer abduction.

Let's make sure that it doesn't.

All right, I gotta get
back to the westlakes'.

I'd like to come with
if that's all right.

I'd like to ask the westlakes
some questions about our dead guy,

- see if there's any connection.
- Okay.

Start digging on the haymer case.
Contact the family, set up interviews.

And I'd like to leave hicks
here to work with your team.

- That's all right with you?
- Okay.

- Keep 'em honest.
- What did he say?

- Care to reframe that, sam?
- No.

They're jane's people.
They need watching.

I like to think of them as my people.

Well, think what you like. I can't have them
trying to pull some cheap stunt behind my back.

Well, we have a whole range of expensive
stunts if you don't like the cheap ones.

I understand your issue, agent bosco.

- No problem. Welcome, hicks.
- Boss.

We'll extend every courtesy.***

Let's get started, shall we?

******

This is verona westlake.
This is mia's sister.

You must be cbi, too?

I'm agent lisbon. That's patrick jane.

Uh, my husband duncan weaver.

More cbi? Where did you
guys come from, anyway?

Two days ago, I never heard of you.

You neither. Nice place.
You guys must be loaded.

How did you make the money?

Uh, my grandfather,
actually-- oil, lumber.

I just assumed it was new money,
because of the, uh, the decor.

Um, already you start with this crap?

What? What?

Uh, belinda sandborne,
verona's attorney.

Any conversation you have with
verona or duncan, I need to be there.

Not a problem. Is there someone else
in the family we should be talking to?

I'm sort of... The family.

Our parents are dead.

You know, mia-- she's
the grown-up, capable one.

I'm the mess. Too bad, huh?

They took the wrong sister.

You're doing fine.

Listen to the man with the gun, babe.

We understand you're
investigating a related case?

Another kidnapping that may have been
carried out by the same people, yes.

How did it, um, turn out?

Did the--did the person
they took get home okay?

No. He was killed.

His name is colin haymer.
Here's his picture.

He's from pacific heights.
Does he look familiar?

No. You, babe?

Nothing. Sorry.

Does his name ever come up
in any context, even casually?

I don't think so.

He was working at a company called
straf investments when he was taken.

- Do you have anything to do with them?
- Straf?

- Belinda?
- No, I don't think so.

I'll check the records.

I'm sorry I'm not really helping.
I'm trying. I'm--i'm not...

Hello! Okay. Look what I found.

Oh, god. Uh, levi, what
are you doing in here?

- She's yours?
- Yes.

Uh, mrs. Kent? Where is she?

- Mrs. Kent!
- Oh, she's fine.

She's a little smelly, but, uh, other
than that, she's a little cherub.

Sorry, sorry.

Mrs. Kent, please keep her in her room.

- We discussed this.
- Yes, ma'am.

Boss, ransom demand just came in.

- Excuse me.
- Sorry.

*******

It's a video attachment to an e-mail.

Can you get the i.p.address?

Oh, I'm trying, but they routed it through
a bunch of servers. It might take days.

You--you want
me to read this?

Okay.

"my name is mia westlake. I am not hurt.

"i am being treated well.

"for my safe return, "you
must pay $3.75 million "

in small, nonsequential bills.

"this money is to be
ready by 6:00 p.m.tonight.

"you will be instructed what to do then.

Failure to comply will result..."

"in my immediate execution."

"any interference will result
in my immediate execution."

Verona, if you're watching this, i...

- Did you see the tat on that guy?
- Yeah.

I mean, that looks like mexican mafia.

We're not gonna get anything out
of the westlakes now. Let's go.

3.75 million--very specific
number, don't you think?

Maybe the kidnappers have their
eye on the westlakes' ba a accnt.

I'll talk to bosco
about it, then we'll go.

Okay. Take your time.

Wh--hey, excuse me. Uh,
we'd like some privacy.

I can understand that.
What's in your pocket?

None of your business.

You just keep tapping it...

Tap, tap, tapping it.

Whatever is in there, you're
obviously nervous about it.

I'm assuming it's illegal.

My best guess would be... Drugs.

Uh, do--do you
have any lemon?

I'm gonna go find your boss, all right?

Okay. Well, be sure to tell her
about the drugs in your top pocket.

If you need me, I'm gonna be right
here talking to your lovely wife.

Please leave, all right?
I just want to be alone.

That's what we all want. No one gets it.

So there's no lemons here?

No, I don't think so!

I really felt like... Mm, never mind.

Your sister needs you here now.

As comforting as it might be to
crawl under the blanket of narcotics

that your husband has so generously
procured for you, it's better that you don't.

Nothing I do is going to help her.

- You're probably right.
- What's the point?

What you can accomplish is irrelevant.

But if you are absent in this moment,

you will regret it for the rest
of what will be a miserable life.

That's all. See you.

What were you doing back there?

Oh, just getting a snack,
a little light refreshment.

- Why don't I believe you?
- What? W-what is this?

This is proof of my veracity.

- It's time to go.
- I'm gonna stay.

I know what this is about.

Bosco's got the red john file.

You think if you hang around long
enough, you'll weasel your way into it.

"weasel" is a little strong.

You're wasting your time. Bosco
will never go for it. Never.

- What? I'll never go for what?
- I like the way you work.

I want to work on your team
on the, uh, kidnapping detail.

Oh, you do, huh?

A live kidnapping victim is so much
more my speed than a shriveled corpse.

Like I care about your speed.

Lisbon, you claim to have
control over this whack-job.

- Why don't you do me a favor and walk him away?
- Don't talk to me that way.

- Yeah, that's very rude.
- Quiet.

Minelli gave us specific orders.

I don't give
a flying--

- You this agent's boss?
- Why?

I want him removed fr
thihicase now. Now, all right?

He's--he's disrespectful and,
uh, rude and--and unprofessional.

Oh, he's just angry 'cause I called
him on his little drug deal thing.

Okay, you're nuts. I have no drugs.

Liar.

I demand you take this man off the case,
or there will be serious consequences.

Well, sir, that's not your call.

Oh, yeah? You think?

One phone call, I can
have you directing traffic.

- Is that right?
- Yeah, it is.

Well, make your call, because this man's
staying on the case whether you like it or not.

- Really?
- Yeah.

You see--see this? You see
what he's done to my wife?

I mean, this guy's out of control.

Shut up, duncan.

- Baby, I was trying
to explain-- - shut up.

- Mr. Jane, is it?
- Yeah.

What you said earlier was right.

Thank you... I guess.

Leave him alone.

Okay, then. It's
settled. Have fun. Boys.

Wait.

So you want names that begin with
"a" through "l" or "m" through "z"?

- "a" through "l."
- You got it.

- Anged my mind. I want "m" through "z."
- Too late. You already chose.

Oh, come on. Rock,
paper, scissors? Step up.

Hey, bert, can I get on
this rock, paper, scissors?

I haven't had a really good
game since I was, oh, 10.

- It's rigsby.
- I know.

Hey, what's with hicks calling me bert?

Um, I'm sure I don't know.

It's bert, like the muppet.

It's just a stupid nickname.
It doesn't mean anything.

Bosco's team calls us bert and ernie.

You knew that, and you
didn't say anything?

- It would bother you.
- It doesn't bother you?

- No.
- Why not?

Ernie's the clever, handsome one.

- Where's jane?
- With bosco.

Don't ask me what they're doing,
because I don't know and I don't care.

What do you got?

I've been checking out the house
where we found colin haymer's body.

It's been abandoned seven years.

There were some complaints about squatters
five, six years ago. Nothing else.

Agent lisbon, there's a louis
earlen to see you in your office.

- Keep digging.
- Right.

Lieutenant earlen. Anan for coming.

Louis, please. I'm retired.

So you found poor colin haymer?

We did.

You were the s.f.p.d.officer in charge
of the kidnapping investigation, right?

I was. Spent a lot of time
with the haymer family.

- Have they been notified?
- They have.

Hope it's some kind of consolation.

They've been waiting a
long time for that boy.

We have another kidnapping. We think
the same people might be behind it.

How can I help?

Anybody you think we
should take a look at?

Tall order. We looked
at a lot of people.

Ll, we were wondering if
maybe it was an inside job.

The ransom demand was pretty specific.

We considered that.

I always had a feeling about colin's
girlfriend-- nothing solid, just a feeling.

Do you remember her name?

Diane zar... Zaranski.

Yeah. Talked to her a couple of times.

When's the ransom drop?

Tonight, 6:00.

The night colin's ransom got paid,

I sat with his parents till morning
just waitin' to hear he was safe.

Don't think we said ten words.

If it is the same people that took
colin, you do this girl's family a favor.

Money drops at 6:00.At 6:01, you
tell them their child is dead,

give 'em a chance to get used to it.

It would be a kindness.

- Boss, I might have something.
- What?

Those squatters in the
house where we found haymer?

They were drug dealers.

A detective in oakland narcotics said they're
an extended family--eight or ten people.

They grew pot on a farm called
crazy hill in goodhue county,

Brought it into oakland and
sold it out of the house.

And this has to do
with colin haymer how?

Apparently, they also sold drugs
that they bought from border cartels,

And they picked up some of the cartels'
habits like kidnapping for cash.

So ty y nt from dealing pot
to kidnapping wealthy kids?

- Less effort, more profit.
- Do you have any names?

They're known as the crazy hill gang.

One of the ringleaders
was nicknamed "deezer."

Nobody knows his real name.

Apparently, deezer's been hanging around
an apartment building in west oakland.

Boss wants us to check the building out.

Forgot my extra mags.
Meet you downstairs.

"extra mags." Big man.

- Where's your vest?
- Don't need one.

- Sure you do.
- We're just canvassing.

For people called "the crazy hill gang."

- You should wear a vest.
- Look, it's hot. It's uncomfortable.

Hicks isn't wearing one.

- What, you're afraid he'll make fun of you?
- No. Not at all.

Don't be an idiot. Put on a vest.

Fine. Get shot. See if I care.

There you go. One more?

- She likes you.
- She has good taste.

You're good with children.

Unlike your employers?

I don't know what you mean.

Oh, come on. It's clear to see
they're skittish about the parenting.

I wouldn't know anything about that.

Verona's low self-esteem makes her
doubt she'll ever be a real parent.

And because duncan married her for her
money, he sees the child as a rival,

In more than the usual freudian term.

They're very caring people, very loving,

just not particularly hands-on,
if you know what I mean.

How's duncan's relationship with mia?

It can be difficult.

Well, it makes sense.

If he sees his child as a
rival, why not his sister-in-law?

I've heard angry words between them.

I think mia doesn't trust him.

But I shouldn't say anything.

No. But you did.

Jane, we got an errand to run.

Okay. All right. Gotta go.

Gotta go and run an errand
with the big, serious man.

- Come on. Let's go.
- Bye.

So what's the deal here?

Well, the tattoo on the kidnapper's arm suggests
the, uh, mexican mafia might be involved.

Those guys--they're members.
So we're gonna go talk to 'em.

- They look scary.
- They are scary.

You can't because a full member
until you've killed someone.

- Maybe i'll just wait in the car.
- No. You're coming with me.

I need you for backup.

Backup?

Hey, fellas. Hola. ?Q?E pas?

Um, listen, I'm agent, uh,
bosco with the cbi. Agent jane.

I was wondering if any of you
fellas have seen your man snoopy?

We need to talk to him. Snoopy?

Snoop.

We're lookin' for him.
We'd like to talk to him.

Hey, keep walkin', man.

Who are you? Why are you being that way?

I asked you
nicely.I-i asked--

the name is raoul, and I ain't
got no warrants, so back up, fool.

Well, raoul, you and me are gonna have
to go have a private chat in a moment.

Nah. I ain't did nothing wrong.

Don't make it difficult.

- Tough guys, huh?
- Depends on what you mean by "tough."

Emotionally resilient? Yes.

So now you gonna play me, too?

Oh, raoul! Come on!

***********

***************

Yeah*********

How*******

All right.

*************

That's right.****

So********

What are you talking
about, man? What informant?

Oh, come on. You can come clean with me.

Who is this guy, sam? What did
you tell him? What's going on?

- Guess he just figured it out.
- Well, it's kind of obvious.

As if you'd want me for
backup. I mean, really.

Listen, raoul, you know about
the westlake kidnapping, right?

- Is emme involv?
- No.

I ain't heard anything
about that. Westlake?

You sure?

Sure, no, but when a big score's
coming up, I hear about it.

People start bragging even
before they got the money.

I ain't heard nothing about that.

Well, we saw emme
tats on the kidnappers.

Come on. Anybody can get a tattoo.

Yeah, they were kind of showy. A
little too visible, don't you think?

Like it was meant to misdirect us.

You know, that kind of stuff is
getting to be a real problem--

People putting their crimes on la emme.

So you jacked me up for nothing.

Well, thanks a lot. Uh,
we really appreciate it.

Uh, come on. Get in.

Only now you gotta punch me in the face.

May be people watching.

- Uh, yeah, they're watching.
- Oh, come on.

Serious. Next time you come at me in the
street, make sure it's for a worthwhile question.

That was good. Did that
hurt? Looks like it hurt.

Watch your head there.

Get in there.

Thanks. That was fun.

No actual progress, but, uh, certainly
a lesson in life on the mean streets.

Yeah, well, that's what cops do.

We get a lead, we run it down.

Most leads don't work out. We move on.

But you don't understand that, do you?

All this kind of hard, methodical
work we do is somehow beneath you...

Not your speed.

Oh, please, get off your horse.

You just wanted to frighten me and
impress me with your macho cop prowess--

Understandable impulse. A
little juvenile, perhaps.

You shouldn't be working with us.

- You're hurting people. You know that?
- Who?

The cops you work with.
Don't kid yourself.

Their careers are taking a hit.

If you care about 'em, you'll leave.

Cops I work with, meaning lisbon?

And her team.

But mostly lisbon.

That ransom demand-- did
she talk to you about that?

Sure.

And yes, it could mean
there's someone on the inside.

Because useful to know
who it is, don't you think?

Well, we're working that, but
the ransom drop's in three hours.

We make a move on a suspect now,
all it'll do is spook the kidnappers.

They'll kill mia, and they'll scatter.

We gotta make sure the girl is safe.

She's not gonna be safe.

They will kill her five minutes
after they get the ransom.

- Could happen.
- So she dies either way.

- We could try something.
- No.

- You want to hear what I have to say?
- Not interested.

Okay, sure, all right. Well, I was very
impressed, by the way, with the macho cop prowess.

Those guys, they were
genuinely frightened of you.

You're absolutely cool,
man. You're good out there.

Go away. Bullitt.

Like, really cool. Kojak.

Sorry to disturb you, ma'am. We're looking
for an individual by the name of deezer--

Might have lived in the building
or stayed with someone here.

Never heard of him.

What about the crazy hill
gang? Ever heard of them?

No.

Well, if you do hear them,
you, uh, call us at this number?

You want me to spy on my neighbors?

Fascists.

Make a new friend, bert?

Enough with the "bert,"
all right, hicks?

Sorry. Hurt your feelings?

It's just not funny, that's all.

It's a joke.

You can't take a joke?

Excuse me, ma'am, I'm with the cbi.

Wondering if I could
ask you a few questions.

- Sure, what about?
- I just think it's childish, that's all.

And I just think you need to lighten up.

Sorry. Never heard of him.

All right. Thanks anyway.

Yeah? Well, maybe you
need to grow up. Idiot.

Uh, not... Y-you.

Um, wayne rigsby, cbi. Need to
ask you a couple of questions.

Ma'am, I was wondering if I
could leave a card with you.

Get in! Go!

Hicks, cover the room! Go, go!

Grace? Grace!

Grace!

- Went out the window.
- I got it. Go, go, go!

Grace, you okay? Just
breathe. I can't see any blood.

The vest took it. I'm okay. I'm
okay. Go, go, go, go, go. Go.

How you doing?

They think a couple rounds
probably broke a couple of ribs.

They're gonna check
for internal injuries.

I'm fine. Really.

Just my legs keep twitching.

That's just adrenaline. It'll wear off.

Don't ever do this to me again.

No problem.

Go inside. See if there's anything in the
shooter's apartment that ties her to the kidnapping.

Okay.

You okay?

Yeah.

Hey, rigsby. Thanks.

My leg's still twitching.

I love you.

Thanks.

I have to go. They
don't even know I'm here.

I'll call you later.

Wayne?

One thing.

What was that for?

Next time wear your vest.

Okay.

- I mean it.
- Yeah. I believe you.

Get out of here.

- Is she all right?
- Yeah.

Thank god.

Well, thank kevlar, actually.

Hush. This is our fault.

Uh, what do you mean?

Rigsby said that he and hicks were
going at it when van pelt was shot.

- That kind of bad blood starts with us.
- She's right.

This isn't about bad blood.
It's about professionalism.

There you go again. You
won't take any responsibility.

I.d.says the shooter's
name is diane zaranski.

Diane zaranski was colin
haymer's girlfriend.

S.f.p.d.suspected her of being
in the gang that kidnapped him.

The crazy hill gang. Same crew
must have kidnapped mia westlake.

Well, now we know for sure they have
someone planted in the westlake house.

That's the way they work.

We're running background checks on everybody that's
been inside that house in the past six months.

You're not gonna catch anyone
with a background check.

They plan too carefully for that.

And you do know how to catch him.

- Of course. I told you I do.
- Forget it.

- You're not even gonna hear him out?
- No, he's got nothing to tell me.

You know what? Jane's
not the problem. You are.

You're so stuck on the idea that he's
not a cop that you can't see what he is.

You know how many cases
he's closed for us?

You think he's given me bad habits?

I think he's made me a better cop.

- Thank you, lisbon.And can I
just add-- I just-- - be quiet.

if you're so sure you're right
that you won't even listen to him,

then you're not a person I know.

I did hear you out, and I still say no.

Got the money and the
instructions for the drop-off.

- How much time?
- About 20 minutes.

- You're making a mistake.
- Stop it.

- I'm just--
- quiet.

Mrs. Westlake, I need to
speak to you privately.

Agent, I
told you--

Stay here.

Come this way. Right in here.

- You are not welcome here, jane.
- I'm gonna tell minelli you refused to work with me.

- Oh, come on!
- You can face him. How do you like that?

You know, you really are
a schoolboy. You know that?

Just...

Now we're gonna do exactly
as the kidnappers have asked.

That is the best way to
ensure that your sister...

- Absurd.
- Will come home safely.

But we're gonna do one thing.

We're gonna put this small
transmitter in the suitcase.

Why?

If they fail to return her, this is
the best way for us to follow them.

We're presuming they're gonna take
the money to where your sister is.

- Idiocy.
- What was that, mr. Jane?

This is ridiculous.

- You are gonna get that girl killed.
- Stop.

Excuse me, ma'am. There's something
that you really should know.

Keep talking. I'm gonna
put my hands on you.

One of the kidnappers is
in this house right now.

- Damn it.
- Here?

A spy, a mole, reporting back to
those that are holding your sister.

We should be talking to them,
not playing with "star wars" toys.

- Oh, my god. Who?
- Come here.

Her.

- You bitch!
- What? Jeez!

I'm gonna kill you!

My money's on verona.

Sandborne's got her on experience, but
it's hard to beat that kind of enthusiasm.

Got the image up.

- Nobody.
- There will be.

Somebody better come.

If nobody does, you
just killed mia westlake.

Blame, blame, blame, blame, blame.
Somebody's coming. Don't worry.

And there they are.

- Hello, mrs. Kent.
- *****

Should we go get her?

No. Wait.

Money's on its way. It's clean.

They tried planting a
tracker, but I caught it.

Get the girl ready.

Hands where I can see 'em!

- Hands! Hands!
- What's going on?

Don't move. Don't do
anything unless I tell you to.

I don't understand.
The baby is sleeping.

Oh, the baby.

She's been wandering around the
house like a little lost lamb.

You're just a terrible nanny.

- Who were you talking to on the phone?
- My sister.

- Is s a kidnapper, too?
- No!

What's this?

Let me go. Let us have the
money. The girl might live.

Put your hands behind your back.

You are making a bad mistake.

If you people don't let me go right now,
mia westlake will be tortured to death

If they think you've
done anything to me.

No, they won't. We're gonna go get her.

Good luck finding her.

We don't need luck.

Let's go.

Checking... Last number called.

It's a landline.

1867 cliff point circle, oakland.

Mia!

Thought I would resurrect
an old tequila tradition.

I'm in.

Cheers.

- Smooth.
- Yes, it is.

So am I someone you know now?

I'm starting to recognize you, yeah.

You know that thing you said about jane making
you a better cop--you don't believe that.

I may have exaggerated for effect.

Anyway, I wanted to say that it's
been nice working with you again.

You, too.

Anyhow...

- Good night.
- Good night.

I've been thinking.

You're not a cop. You never will be.

But you have a... Useful perspective.

This is a summary of the red
john case since I took over.

Take a look. Tell me what you think.

- Bosco.
- Don't thank me.

I wasn't going to.

I need the actual
case file-- unabridged.

You're a jerk. You know that?

Night, bosco.
