The Mentalist (2008–2015): Season 4, Episode 15 - War of the Roses - full transcript

An officer in Greg Relin's charity, which raises money for orphanages in Mexico, is murdered. Above Lisbon's head, amused Patrick arranges to accept jailed, luxury-addicted fellow con artist Erica Flynn's terms to help find and trap the killer. Meanwhile impending parenthood proves hard to square with Rigsby's feelings for Sarah Harrigan.

No suspects,
as I mentioned, as of yet...

...but we've just received a report
that the victim has been ID'd...

...by the San Francisco locals
as Natalie Gibecki.

Although police are keeping
the nature of her death under wraps...

...they were quick to point out they do not...

Her name's Natalie Gibecki,
27 years old...

...counselor in a youth probation facility
a few blocks over.

The mayor serves on the board,
so we got the call.

Petechial hemorrhaging in the eyes.

And the marks around the neck
indicate that she was strangled.

- Where's Lisbon?
- She's with S.F.P.D.



We talked to the victim's boss.
She was on her way to a movie with friends.

- Not likely.
- Come again?

Well, she's wearing
a black lace camisole.

She was planning on changing
her flats to heels.

Her makeup is freshly applied.
She's wearing a very flowery perfume.

J'adore, if I'm not mistaken.

She was going to meet a lover.

Married, I'd guess,
based on the deception.

Excuse me. Ahem.

Hello?
Hello, Patrick, it's Erica Flynn.

Erica Flynn. Wow, this is a surprise.

Pleasant, I hope.

I bet you're wondering
why I'm calling.

Yeah, the thought crossed my mind.



What if I said
I wanted to hear your voice?

- I'd say you were lying.
- Not entirely.

Natalie Gibecki.

I knew her personally. She was a client
of my matchmaking company.

I'm sorry for your loss.

Thank you. We grew very close
during our sessions together.

But you know how that can happen.

What do you want, Erica?

- Yes, I haven't said, have I?
- No.

I'm calling because
I can help you find her killer.

- Really? What's his name?
- If you want the answer...

...you know where to find me.
It was nice to hear your voice again.

Yours too.

- Thank you, Dennis.
- Of course, Ms. Flynn.

Helpful as always.

- Who's that?
- That was Erica Flynn.

- She wants to help the investigation.
- Great.

We should fax over the case file,
get her a gun.

Getting her a gun's a bit much,
but I think the case file may help.

I was kidding.

Ha, you're kidding, right?

Please, tell me you're kidding.

Hello, Patrick.

Erica, you look good.

Orange suits you.

I suppose I have you to thank
for my wardrobe.

I didn't kill your husband.

Neither did I.
Manslaughter. Big difference.

What is this about?

- I know who killed Natalie Gibecki.
- How is that possible?

We grew close
during our sessions together.

Natalie told me things
that she didn't tell anyone else.

Like that she was seeing
someone in secret.

Why'd she need a dating service
if she was seeing someone?

She met him during our sessions.

- That must have been some time ago.
- Ten months.

But Natalie was still seeing him
when she died.

- I'm sure of it.
- How?

- I know true love when I see it.
- Then why the secrecy?

The man Natalie was seeing was married.
She kept the affair from everyone.

- Everyone except you.
- Yes.

- Why are you doing this?
- I cared deeply about Natalie.

Her death is a tragedy
and her killer should be punished.

That was a nice try.

All right, I want out of here.

Temporarily, of course.

You have no idea
what this is like, Patrick.

Living in a cage,
knowing I'll be here for years.

The truth is, this may be
my last chance at freedom...

...while I'm young enough to enjoy it.

I just want to go to the spa,
eat at my favorite restaurant.

A few harmless indulgences in return
for helping you catch a killer.

What if you're lying?

You once said you could
see right through me.

"Transparent as glass,"
I believe was how you put it.

So tell me, am I lying now?

Natalie Gibecki
left the youth facility at 8:14 p.m.

A commuter found her body at 8:33...

...giving a 19-minute window
for the murder to be committed.

Do we have motive?

Nothing's missing from Natalie's body.
Robbery's out. No sign of sexual assault.

Natalie just returned from a trip
to Puerto Vallarta. I'm checking it out.

Jane's theory about a boyfriend?

Friends all say
Natalie wasn't seeing anyone.

- Family?
- Only child. Parents died years ago.

Head to the youth facility. Talk to
the counselors working Natalie's shift.

- See if they know anything.
- Can I skip this and work the phones?

- I have an appointment I can't miss.
- You all right?

Yeah, fine.
Just something I have to do.

- Sure. Van Pelt?
- Sure, on it.

I'm Agent Van Pelt,
this is Agent Cho, from CBI.

We're here investigating
Natalie Gibecki's murder.

Don't know how we'll tell the boys.
They loved Natalie.

- You have any idea who did this?
- We're in early stages of investigation.

Natalie may have been romantically
involved with someone.

- You know anything about that?
- No.

No, I thought she was single. Kevin!

Keep that up,
you'll do push-ups until you puke.

The relationship could have been
with a co-worker.

- Don't look at me.
- You didn't like her?

I didn't say that.
She just wasn't my type.

Kevin, what did I just say?

Now drop and give me 50.

- Now.
- Can you think of anyone who...

- ...may have wanted to harm Natalie?
- No.

But we did have a kid go missing
from the facility last night.

- Trent had nothing to do with this.
- His name was Trent?

Trent Matthews. He's 17, was in here
for drug possession and assault.

- What time did he go missing?
- I saw him at dinner, so after 7.

Like I said, he didn't have
anything to do with this.

We're gonna need to see his file.

Keep going.

LISBON:
You want to let her out of prison?

No, I just think Erica could help us.

She knows details of the victim's life.
She may even know the killer.

- She says she does.
- That she's telling the truth about.

- Doesn't mean we need her help.
- I didn't say that.

I said she could be useful.
What do you think, Luther?

- I'm intrigued.
- Sir.

I think it's just the kind of innovative
thinking the CBI needs more of.

Using a convict to catch a killer.

- It's synergy.
- Exactly.

Sir, this isn't even our jurisdiction.
We couldn't get her released if we tried.

Right, but the warden at Golden Valley
State Prison has already approved it.

Flynn's guaranteed a furlough
through the rehabilitation program...

...that the governor instituted.
She's a model inmate.

- She's a convicted murderer.
- Convicted manslaughterer, actually.

- Oh, well, in that case...
- So you agree?

No, she's a killer and she's a flight risk.

Which is why I'll be assigning
two agents to guard her at all times.

See, Lisbon? What could possibly
go wrong? Excuse me.

Synergy.

- Hey, Cho.
- Hey.

- What's up?
- You called me.

Oh, yeah, yeah, that's right. I got some
background on Trent Matthews.

Attending Sequoia Valley High before
he was busted for possession and assault.

- Not that far from the youth facility.
- He might head back there?

He's alone.
Family moved away from the area.

Probably looking for cash,
place to stay.

- Might try old friends for help.
- All right, Van Pelt and I'll get on it.

Wayne, you ready?

- Class is about to start.
- Oh, yeah, yeah, all set.

Welcome, mommies and daddies.

My name is Atoosa
and I will be leading your class today.

Welcome to the first step
in your amazing journey of parenthood.

Now, before we begin,
I would like each of you...

...to go around the room
and offer something about yourselves.

Hi.

- Would you like to start?
- Sure. Um...

- Hi, my name is Sarah.
- Welcome, Sarah.

Oh, hi, I'm Wayne.

Welcome, Wayne.

Um...

Okay, I'm 28 weeks.
This is my first child.

- Wait, our first child?
- Oh, yeah. Definitely our first, yeah.

Our first child. Well, although "our"
might be a little misleading.

No, not that this isn't his baby.
I'm not some floozy or anything.

Not that anyone in this room is,
you know -

No, I- That is- I just meant -

She just meant that we're not married.
That was it.

No. I mean, yes.
Ha, ha, ha.

According to the youth facility,
Trent Matthews was busted...

...for possession at this high school
three months ago.

Kids used to call me Bracey Gracie,
because I wore braces until I was 17.

- What did people call you?
- Cho.

Unh!

That's him.

Hey, break it up!
Hey, hey, hey!

- Get up, man.
Get off me!

Trent Matthews?
What?

- CBI. We need a word.
- Well, screw your word, man.

You needn't look so glum, Lisbon.

If anything happens,
you're not gonna be held responsible.

Because that's what I'm worried about.

- You know why she's doing this.
- Trying to escape, most likely.

Yet you're going through with it anyway.

Are you doing this because you need
Erica's help or because you want it?

Agents, you can come in now.

You'll have to sign for custody.

- Hello, Patrick.
- Erica.

Inmate Erica Marie Flynn
is now in your custody.

- Take good care of her.
- Thanks.

- All right, who is he?
- Who?

- Natalie's killer. Don't be cute.
- Oh, I don't know his name.

It's in my Symphony files.
Did I not make that clear?

- No, you didn't.
- Must've slipped her mind.

Where are the files?

My lawyer's having them sent
to your offices now.

Good, let's get this over with.
You got her?

We got her.
Ms. Flynn, I'm Agent McClay.

This is Agent Morris. We'll supervise
you during your furlough.

I hope you don't mind.
A friend owns a car company.

- Offered me transportation while I'm out.
- How thoughtful.

Patrick, are you coming?

Okay.

This should be fun.

- Here's your tea.
- Thanks so much.

- Oh, Ron?
- Yes, Ms. Flynn?

- Would you mind getting me lemon?
- Of course.

Hey, boss, I checked out that trip
Natalie took to Puerto Vallarta.

- She traveled alone.
- Did she meet anybody there?

Not sure. We've been unable
to locate her camera.

But Natalie did upload travel photos
onto a website.

- I'm having those printed out now.
- Okay.

Here you go, Miss Flynn.

What is it with this woman?
She can get men to do whatever she wants.

And I can't for the life of me
figure out why.

Really?

I get it. I mean, if I were a guy.

Assault is a serious offense, Trent.

That dude was a snitch.

- Is that why you smashed his face in?
- Hell, yeah.

He's the reason
why I got sent to juvie.

So you ran away from the facility
to get revenge?

No, man, I left because I had to.

- I wasn't about to get jacked up.
- You had a beef with another kid?

It was one of my counselors,
a big dude named Danny.

- Danny Vargas?
- Yeah.

What happened?

Well, the night I took off,
he, uh, he and Natalie were fighting.

Like for real, you know.

She was yelling at him like crazy, man.
All up in his face.

But, uh, see, Danny, uh,
he's real hard with us kids.

He, uh, pushes us, smacks us around
when no one's looking.

Except this time,
Natalie saw it go down.

She wasn't too happy about it,
you know?

- The girl just started flipping out on him.
- Did things get physical between them?

Well, it was about to until I stepped in.

I mean, you can't lay your hands on a woman.
I don't give a damn who you are.

Anyway, I mean, Danny got mad.

Real mad. So I took off
before he could do something about it.

You think Danny
would've hurt you in retaliation?

I know he would have.
The dude has freaking issues, man.

He should be the one sitting here, not me.

Listen, but all bull aside,
let me tell you something, all right?

I would never hurt Natalie, ever.

I got no reason to.

I mean, she was one of the only adults...

...who ever treated me
like a person, you know?

Yeah, I do.

Hey, you okay?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

No. That video was...
Oh, God, it was horrible.

I had no idea that childbirth
could be so...

- Well, so scary.
- It wasn't that bad.

I'm a homicide detective. I've seen
some pretty graphic things. But that?

Nothing prepared me for that.

How do you think I feel?
I have to go through it.

Wayne, you're gonna be okay
with this, right?

Yeah, I think so.

I mean, yes, yes.

All right, good,
because I can't do this on my own.

I know.

FLYNN
What are you looking for in a man?

GIBECKl
Someone generous and caring.

Someone who puts the needs
of others before themselves.

I want a man I can grow old with.

A best friend.

- Problem?
- This is so frustrating.

One of Natalie's interviews is missing.

- How unfortunate.
- I know what you're thinking.

I had nothing to do with it. It's not my problem
if your people misplace things.

My people?
All right, that's enough. Let's go.

- Where?
- Back to prison.

You shouldn't be out
if you can't help the investigation.

Hang on a second.
Just because there's a video missing...

...doesn't mean she can't help find
Natalie's lover. Right?

Absolutely. It's all right here.

Natalie lived for her work.
She dedicated her life to helping others.

The fact that she found love without
my service can only mean one thing.

- The man she was seeing was a co-worker.
- I tried that. No luck.

Because she wasn't working
at the youth facility when she met him.

This was ten months ago, remember?

When she was working at the nonprofit?

- Casa Encantar?
- Exactly.

- Shall we?
- We shall.

Welcome to Casa Encantar.
Can I help you?

Yes, my fiancé and I are looking
for a nonprofit to volunteer for.

Let me show you around.
We're not usually this busy...

...but we're throwing a fundraising
event tomorrow night.

It's actually a release party
for a book that our CEO has written.

- Here he is now.
- Hi, I'm Greg Relin. Welcome.

- It's wonderful what you do here.
- Thank you.

Since we started, we've been lucky
enough to build six schools...

...four clinics, two orphanages
throughout Mexico.

All in small rural villages.

Some without electricity or running water.
That's our newest orphanage.

We hope to have four more
by end of year.

If we raise enough support tomorrow night.

So Evan's told you about our gala?

There'll be plenty of food and drink,
even some entertainment.

You're both welcome to come,
see what a difference you can make.

Well, thank you for the invitation.

Tell me, when did you last see
Natalie Gibecki?

- I'm sorry?
- Don't be.

You said you were looking
to volunteer.

No, I didn't. She did.
She also said I was her fiancé.

- Cheeky.
- And you are who, exactly?

Patrick Jane, consultant with the CBI.

I'm investigating Natalie's murder.
She was seeing someone here, yes?

- Not that I know of. Evan?
- No.

- No?
- Oh, of course, it's a secret.

So you wouldn't tell me anyway.

You mind if I take a look around,
talk to some of your employees?

- No.
- Thank you very much.

Good luck with the book.

What about him?

Handsome, but dim, like a golden retriever.

She'd never be interested
in someone like that.

Who would she be interested in?

Someone attractive,
witty, compassionate.

Twenty-five to 35, fit, good hair.

- And a romantic at heart.
- Oh, that's all?

No wonder she enlisted the help
of a professional.

Good ones are out there
if you know where to look.

Natalie was a college girl.
She read voraciously.

She was inquisitive, intelligent
and idealistic.

She would need to be with somebody
who was the same.

Him.

You buy me dinner at my restaurant
of choice if I'm right.

No bet. You're right. He's the only man
that didn't look at you.

I'll spring for dinner
if you can get him to confess right now.

Ooh.

- Bet.
- Do your thing.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- You must be...?
- Uh, Richard. Can I help you?

I'm sorry, is this a bad time?
I can see you're upset.

No, no. I-I'm fine.

Bad time for what?

It's okay.
Natalie told me all about you.

- I'm sorry. Natalie...?
- You were having an affair with her.

That's ridiculous. I'm a married man.

Hey, don't worry. I won't tell anyone.

Natalie was a dear friend of mine. Her
passing has been devastating for me.

I can't begin to imagine
how you must feel right now.

There's no greater loss
than the loss of the person you love.

I didn't think that she had told anyone.

This is Richard. So there's this great
little place downtown, Sicilian chef.

He does wonders with fish.
Fresh, simple.

Remarkable. I'm suddenly hungry.
Hey, Richard.

We argued. No big deal.
You lied, that's a big deal.

I didn't think it was relevant.

Your shift ended at 8.
Same time as Natalie's.

- Where'd you go after work?
- To dinner with a friend.

- Right afterwards?
- Yes, about 8:30.

- This friend have a name?
- Jim Clark.

You think I had something
to do with this?

- This is insane. I didn't kill Natalie.
- What did you two argue about?

She didn't like the way
I handled one of the kids.

- She thought you were abusing him?
- I got in his face.

Maybe pushed him a little bit, okay?
That's it. It wasn't abuse.

Natalie came in here all bright-eyed
and bushy-tailed...

...thinking she'd connect with these kids.
And it's a great idea, but it doesn't work.

Sometimes getting physical is
the only thing these animals respond to.

Yeah, you're right.

Abusing kids is against the law.
Do you understand?

- Yeah.
- Good.

Okay, thank you. Bye.

Richard Eldridge will be speaking
with one of my colleagues...

...first thing tomorrow morning.

We make a good team, don't we?

- You said you had a question.
- Oh, yes, that.

Would you hate me
if I told you I was lying?

These days, I don't get to spend
much time alone with charming men.

Well, there's a reason for that.
So you don't kill them.

We all have our baggage.

I've been thinking about you a lot
over the past few months.

I often wonder how things would be
had we met under different circumstances.

Thinking about what might have been
will drive you crazy.

Better to think about
what will happen in the future.

- Erica.
- I like you, Patrick.

I hope my directness doesn't
make you uncomfortable.

- I know what you're doing.
- What am I doing?

Seducing me to conceal
your true purpose.

- Which is to escape.
- Am I?

Seducing you?

No.

I'm not trying to escape, Patrick.

In fact, you don't actually
believe I am.

- No?
- No.

Those agents outside the door
aren't to keep me from escaping.

They're to keep you and I apart.

I know you have feelings for me.

This whole escape nonsense is
just your way of avoiding those feelings.

No, actually I'm fairly concerned
you might try to escape.

Then ask yourself this:

If those agents weren't outside
the door right now, what would you do?

What will you do?

What are these?

Pictures Natalie Gibecki took when
she was on vacation in Puerto Vallarta.

I was checking them to see
if she met anyone down there.

- Did she?
- Doesn't look like it.

I guess I was done with those.

Natalie and I started seeing each other
about a year ago.

You were having an affair?

Yes.

But I wasn't just stringing her along.

I planned to leave my wife. It's just -

- You know, it's complicated.
- Complicated?

Because your wife's family
has millions of dollars...

...and you make minimum wage
at a nonprofit?

What did Natalie think about
your being married?

She was patient at first.

She knew that I was unhappy.

Recently she got tired of waiting,
so she broke things off.

- When was that?
- Two weeks ago.

We hardly spoke during the entire time.
I called her.

I asked her to see me. She wouldn't.

She said she needed to get away,
clear her head.

And is that why
she went to Puerto Vallarta?

Yes.

I just assumed that that was the end.

Then a few days ago, she called.

She wanted to see me.

She was going to meet you
the night she was killed?

Yes.

Nine o'clock, same little bar
we always go to.

I waited an hour.

When she didn't show. I just -

I assumed that she had changed her mind.

I know that you're just doing
your job, Agent Lisbon.

I would never do this to Natalie.

I couldn't.

Natalie was going to meet you
the night she was killed.

A married man
she was romantically involved with...

...who doesn't have an alibi
for the night of her murder.

You'll forgive me
if I'm a little skeptical.

VAN PELT
What about the boyfriend?

Said he was going to meet Natalie
the night she was killed. Here's the place.

You and Cho talk to the bartender,
see if anybody saw him.

- Okay.
- Where's Erica? Getting a mani-pedi?

- How'd you know?
- All right, this is getting ridiculous.

Erica's served her purpose.
Bring her back to prison.

- Oh, we can't do that.
- Why not?

I need her.

Mr. Jane, Ms. Flynn. How nice to see you.
You are here as guests?

Uh, well, not exactly.

- I hope there's not a problem.
- Mr. Relin didn't tell you?

- Tell me what?
- Erica and I are performing tonight.

Just a little something we've been working on.
It's all been arranged.

Um...

- How fantastic.
- Well, let's hope.

Thank you.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
My name is Patrick Jane.

For tonight and for a very good cause,
let's all imagine...

...that this tawdry hotel ballroom
is in fact...

...the Casa Encantar.

The Enchanted House.

Ladies and gentlemen,
my lovely assistant, Erica.

Erica and I will conjure up spirits
that will awe and amaze you.

And then we will turn that awed amazement
into cold hard cash...

...that will help feed, clothe and educate
thousands of homeless orphans.

As you can see, Erica has
set the stage with four boxes.

Now, in order for this performance to work,
we need four willing volunteers.

Once you're chosen,
make your way promptly to the stage.

Don't be shy.
This shouldn't hurt one little bit.

Quick hand for these brave souls.

Thank you, Erica.
Looking fetching in green.

Now, ladies and gentlemen,
please pay close attention.

You're about to witness something...

...that I can pretty much guarantee
you've never seen before.

You will see something
clouded in the unknown.

In a world of clairvoyants
and divination.

A world of spirits.

Now, I know some of you don't
believe that spirits exist.

But trust me when I tell you
they are very real.

They are here in this room now speaking
to me just as I am speaking to you.

And they are telling me
that one of these individuals here...

...is harboring a deep, dark secret.

Huh? Don't believe me?

Fantastic, that gives me the chance
to prove it to you.

You, sir. What's your name?

- Richard.
- Richard, are you here alone?

- Yes.
- Thank you. Would you step forward?

Inside one of these boxes is an item
that holds great significance to you.

I don't know which box it's in
and neither do you. Am I correct?

- Correct.
- Richard, I need you to concentrate.

I need you to concentrate
and clear your mind of any distractions.

I would like you to choose two boxes.

Two boxes either on the left side
or the right side.

Please.

Erica?

There's two boxes left.
I'd like you to choose one, Richard.

Now, you made your choice
only with the spirits as your guide.

Yes.

Erica, if you would, open the box, please.

Does this necklace
mean anything to you, Richard?

- Yes.
- Tell the audience what it means.

It's the necklace that I gave to Natalie.

Why did you give it to her?

It was a symbol of my deep
and abiding love for her.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Thank you, Richard. If you make your way
back to your seat, that's okay.

Wait, the spirits are sending me
another message.

They're telling me that someone else
on this stage has a secret.

Mr. Relin.

A crowd favorite.

You're harboring a deep,
dark secret, aren't you?

- I don't think so.
- Oh, really?

Well, let's check, shall we?
Step forward, please.

Clear your mind
and choose two boxes.

Erica.

Now you know the drill. One box.

Thank you.

Now, you chose this box
of your own free will, yes?

- I guess so.
- Erica, please, do the honors.

Open the box.

Is this photograph
of any significance to you?

- No.
- Are you certain?

Well, perhaps if you saw it bigger.
Erica?

Now do you recognize it?

It looks like the site you claimed
to have built an orphanage on...

...only there's no orphanage.

- I don't- I don't know what you're talking about.
- What about now?

It's a photo taken a week ago.

There is no orphanage, Greg.

Only a doctored photograph
you've been passing off as real.

Everything you've said
you've done is a lie, Greg.

- You don't understand.
- Oh, but I think they do.

You're under arrest.

Let's go.

Fraud!

Thank you, you've been a lovely audience.
Thank you and good night.

That's what you are!

LISBON: You embezzled millions
of dollars meant for charity...

...and siphoned the money
into your own pockets.

You had everybody fooled until Natalie
took that trip to Mexico.

Natalie called me.

Said she needed to speak with me
about something important.

So I met her after work at the subway station
and offered her a ride.

She told me she had visited
one of the orphanages that we built.

- And she accused you of lying?
- No.

Not at first. She trusted me.

She wanted an explanation...

...but...

...I didn't have one.

What could I say? She had the photos.

My whole world was threatened.
Everything I had built would be gone.

- Okay, I'm coming. Wayne.
RIGSBY: In here.

- What is going on with you?
- Take a seat.

HARRIGAN:
Take a-?

Sarah, I -

- There's something I have to say to you.
- Okay.

So I've been thinking a lot
about us these last few days...

...and our situation.

- Our situation?
- Yeah.

And I want it to change.

- Are you breaking up with me?
- The opposite.

Will you marry me?

HARRIGAN: Oh, no.
- No?

- I don't wanna get married like this.
- Like what?

I don't want you to propose to me
just because I'm pregnant.

It's so not fair to you or to me.

I don't want to live the rest of my life
constantly wondering...

...whether my husband loves me.

Oh...

Wayne, gosh, you are a great man.

No, and you are going to be
the most amazing father, ha, ha, ha.

Really.

But, gosh,
we're just not ready for this.

Thank you, Patrick.

You have no idea
how much this meant to me.

You know, you didn't have to leave
the other night.

We can't have everything we want.

Since when?

If you'll excuse me,
I'll freshen up before the car ride.

Don't bother.

- I know about your lawyer.
- Lawyer? What lawyer?

We found him a block away with
two suitcases, cash and a forged passport.

I'm sorry, Erica. I love you.

- I'll wait for you.
- Touching.

So it's over.

- You can't blame a girl for trying.
- I'd expect nothing less.

It was nice to see you, Patrick.

I had a lovely time.

Me too.

Goodbye.

When you say it like that,
it makes it sound like forever.

Just 15 to 20.

WAINRIGHT: All right, just sign here?
- Yes, sir. Bottom of the page.

- Time to go, ma'am.
- Of course.

WAINRIGHT: Glad that all worked out.
- Yeah.

Special Agent Luther Wainright?

I'm Officer Hopkins from Golden Valley
State Correctional Institution.

We're here to take custody
of Erica Flynn.

I'm sorry, I'm confused.
I just signed custody -

HOPKINS:
Sir?

LISBON: The U.S. marshals
are helping with the search.

She's been flagged on flight lists
and all border crossings.

You're wasting your time.

Thanks for your optimism.

I have to ask, Jane.

Did you know Erica was gonna do this?

Try to escape?

Of course. I mean, who wouldn't?

You didn't answer my question.

No, I didn't.

Answer your question.

- Hello?
Hello, Patrick.

I wanted to thank you for dinner.

It was the best date I've had in years.

It wasn't a date.

If you say so.

- Where are you?
- Someplace warm.

Why? Do you miss me?

Heh. Something like that.

You know, Patrick,
we'd have been good together.

Would be good together.

They will find you.
It's only a matter of time.

Oh, Patrick. I'm almost looking forward to it.
