The Mentalist (2008–2015): Season 7, Episode 7 - Little Yellow House - full transcript

Keep yourself centered.

[ elevator bell dings ]
breathe.

Very good.

That's it. Now, just keep
your head nice and clear.

What are you doing?

Jane's teaching
vega balance.

Oh,
that's useful.

How long?
Wylie: 43 seconds.

Don't think.

If you
have to think,

Thinking about dropping
will lead to dropping.



What should i
think about?

Anything. S'mores.

I love s'mores.

Graham crackers,
chocolate, marshmallows...

60 seconds.

...Toasted
on a campfire.

S'mores are better
in a microwave.

[ elevator bell dings ]

It's true.

Well, i don't even know
what to say to that.

Very good.

Thank you.

Is agent
teresa lisbon here?

Hey,
i'm lisbon.



Julie sandoval -- u.S. Attorney
for the northern district.

What can i do
for you?

I was upstairs getting
a deposition, and i heard
your name mentioned.

Your brother
is james lisbon?

What about him?

Have you spoken to him
in the last few days?

No.
What's going on?

A warrant is being issued
for his arrest.

I thought
you'd like to know.

What did he do?

He's a material witness
in a federal investigation.

A man named nathan barnes
was beaten to death 10 days ago.

He's the son
of judge jacqueline barnes.

We think your brother may have
been in contact with the victim

The night
of the murder.

So they were in contact.

Arresting him
seems a little over-the-top.

We'd prefer not to,
but he fled.

He what?

We sent officers

To your brother's house
in oklahoma city.

He slipped out
the back door.

He hasn't responded

To our attempts
to communicate with him.

Can you reach him?

Yeah.
I think so.

Are you not close?

No, yeah,
of c-- of course i can.

Tell him
to turn himself in.

It'll be better
that way.

Thanks for your time.

Yes,
it's serious.

An arrest warrant
is serious, stan.

No, it's not okay.

What'd he say
when he called you?

Well,
if you hear from him again,

Tell him
to call me right away.

[ cellphone beeps ]

Stan says jimmy called him,
said he was in chicago,

But stan
doesn't know where he is.

Well,
if he's in trouble,

He's gonna go someplace
where he feels safe.

You know
where that might be?

My parents' old house,
probably.

Sounds right.

Hey.

Vega and wylie
filled me in.

Are you okay?

Yeah.
Yeah, i'm fine.

Okay.

How many siblings
do you have?

Three brothers.
I'm the oldest.

I'm the oldest
of five.

Some days,
keeping them in line...

You want
to strangle them.

All of them.
At the same time.

I'll clear your leave.

Take as much time
as you need.

Are you sure?

Go and take care
of your family.

I have to go to chicago,
find jimmy, bring him back here.

Okay.

I should only be gone
a couple of days.

You know, i can come with you
if you want me to.

That wouldn't be any fun
for you.

Fun's overrated.

If you want to come,
you can come.

Do you want me to?

I would very much like it
if you came.

All right.
Then i'm gonna come.

We'll do it together.

Lisbon: My parents bought
this house when i was three.

I lived here
all through high school.

I haven't been here
since my dad died.

[ car door closes,
car alarm chirps ]

This has got to stir up
some feelings for you.

[ train whistle blows
in distance ]

Could use a lick of paint,
but it's nice enough.

You don't
have to be polite.

I never lived in a house
when i was a kid, lisbon.

Patrick:
Little envy here.

It's still there.

[ lock clicks ]

Stan said
he was fixing the place up

So his family
could move in.

He didn't say
it was a disaster.

Beer and pizza --
jimmy was here.

I'm gonna go call stan.

Okay.

Hey,
where's your old bedroom?

It's up the stairs --
first door on your right.

[ footsteps approaching ]

I love your, uh --
your wall graffiti there.

[ grunts ]

Jane?

No.

Jane?!

What's going on?!
No.

[ metal clangs ]
are you okay?

Yeah. Yeah, i'm fine.
[ dog barking ]

I take it
that wasn't your brother.

No.

Stan:
Yeah, definitely.

The drywall will be in
by the 12th.

Hey, stan.

Hey, teresa,
come in. Come in.

Let me finish up
with this butthole.

I'll be
right with ya.

Hey.
Hi.

Where are
your cowboy boots?

I expected cowboy boots on
the chicago gal living in texas.

Lisbon: Patrick, this is
my sister-in-law, karen.
Hi.

Is that joey?
Hi.

Joey's 3 1/2.
Him and annie are at preschool.

This is brian.

And you have a newborn
as well, right?

Paul.
He's upstairs, asleep.

Thank god.

So, you're patrick.
Yeah.

It's fun to meet
one of teresa's boyfriends.

She ever tell you
about woody squire?

No.

Have you heard
from our brother?

The one who's in trouble
with the federal government?

Do you remember him?

Yeah, she doesn't want
to talk about woody squire.

So, uh, jimmy has, uh,
some information

About a -- a murder
or something?

Yeah,
a guy named nathan barnes.

He's the son of a judge.

Well,
jimmy will be okay.

I mean, he's dumb,
but he's not stupid.

An arrest warrant
is serious, stan.

[ paul cries ]

Oh, damn, i thought that nap
was gonna take.

Come on.

Let's go talk
in the living room.

So, woody squire --
eyeliner and a lip ring.

He pierced himself --
got infected right before prom.

Swole up
like a tennis ball.

Ask her.
Hilarious, stan.

[ laughs ]

Uh [sighs] jimmy called
three days ago.

He said that i might hear from
some people that he was in town,

But if anyone asked, i should
say i don't know where he is.

And you didn't think
that was suspicious?

[ chuckles ]

I figured whatever jimmy
got into, he could handle it.

Not all of us
are cops, t.

And was anybody
with him?

We went to mom and dad's house
to look for him,

And somebody
jumped jane.

Holy crap. You okay?
Oh, yeah.

Right as rain.
Thanks.

Wait, so this -- this person
was, like, in the house.

You have any idea
who it was?

[ exhales sharply ]

No.

I-i mean...It must've been
somebody looking for jimmy.

Uh, you know
he's playing cards again?

Great. Great.
So you think it's a poker thing?

[ sighs ]

Somebody's after jimmy
to collect a gambling debt?

[ exhales sharply ]
definite possibility.

So, how's, uh,
how's business, stan?

You're a --
you're a contractor?

Yeah. Well,
home-remodeling contractor.

You know,
kitchens, bathrooms.

Nice.
How's that going for you?

Things have been great.

Yeah,
money's awesome.

Yeah.

I guess that explains

Why you haven't been out
to your parents' place.

That's a nice,
little place.

Needs a little tlc,
though.

Yeah,
i've been swamped.

Can we get back
to jimmy?

Oh,
absolutely, boss.

[ chuckles ]

Uh,
so what can i do?

Call his friends. See if any
of them have heard from him.

We're gonna check out the bars
in bridgeport.

Sure.

Ooh, i forgot.

Uh, baby's christening's
on saturday.

Any chance
you can make it?

I'll try.

Got it.
[ chuckles ]

What?

T, we all know with you,
"i'll try," means, "i won't."

Look,
i'd like to come.

It's just
i got a job.

I got a job,
too.

You're not the only busy person
on the planet.

It's fine.
Hey...

Let me know if you can make it,
all right?

I will.

Patrick,
nice meeting you.

You, too.
All right.

I'm sorry.
My family is messy.

Oh, no need.

Messy people
are good people.

I'm not messy.

You're messy
on the inside.

[ cellphone rings ]

Wylie,
what's up?

Hey, i talked to a friend
of mine in the dallas office --

Got some info
on the nathan barnes murder.

What'd you find out?

They found his body
in an alley

Behind the wrightwood hotel
in dallas 10 days ago.

He'd been beaten to death.

The m.E. Found bruising
and cracked ribs

In addition
to a busted skull.

That doesn't sound like
a robbery gone wrong.

Well, he did a lot of pro-bono
work for battered women.

Dallas cops think it was
probably an angry boyfriend

Or husband.

Well, why do they want
to talk to jimmy about it?

Apparently, they found his
business card in barnes' pocket.

That's weird.
All right, thanks.

Ah-ah,
don't hang up.

Thank you.

Wylie, it's jane.

Yeah, i got in
a little tussle with someone

When we first got here.

Could you run a description,
see what comes up?

Yeah, sure.
Uh, hit me.

Male, caucasian, hazel eyes,
brown hair, mustache, beard,

About 25 or 26 years old,
6'4", 210 pounds,

An inch-long scar running
vertically under the left eye,

And a tattoo of a spider
on the inner-right wrist.

That is pretty detailed.
[ chuckles ] anything else?

Yeah.

He smelled
of aqua velva.

Aqua velva.

I don't think
there's anything uncommon

About that around here,
though.

[ country music plays ]

[ bell dings ]

He's not here.

Teresa?

Teresa lisbon?

T.J. Mullins.

Hey, t.J.
[ chuckling ]
hey, how's it going?

Oh, my god.
T.J. Mullins.

I heard.
Yeah.

Yeah,
nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you,
too.

This one
used to babysit me.

Really?
[ laughing ] yeah.

Remember when you sat for me and
i locked you out of the house

And you threw a brick
through the basement window

To get back in?

And it was completely
my fault,

And you paid my dad
for the window.

You were
such a straight arrow, teresa.

Thanks.

Uh, you know,
we're looking for jimmy.

H-have you seen him?

No,
i haven't seen him.

Have you talked
to him?

No, no.
Definitely not.

T.J., you seem like
a very nice kid,

But you're
a terrible liar.

I'd bet we will find a call
from jimmy on here.

Hey,
where'd you get that?

That's my phone.

Yes, it is.

He called
this morning.

Look, we need to find him.
It's important.

I said i wouldn't tell
if anybody came looking.

Uh,
it's a family emergency.

Yeah.

He said something
about going fishing.

That's all i got.

Thanks.

Your mom called.

Should probably
call her back.

See you, t.J.

[ duck quacks ]

Hey.

Sis, what are you
doing here?

There's a warrant out
for your arrest.

You're wanted for questioning
by the u.S. Attorney,

And you ran away.

Do you have any idea
how much trouble you're in?

[ scoffs ]
catch anything?

No.

Your boyfriend?

Yeah. Patrick.
Hi.

I want to help.

Did i ask
for your help?

No, but you're my brother.
Yeah, i'm your brother.

You know, it's funny
how i'm only your brother

When you think
i messed up.

Look,
talking to an fbi agent

Is not a great idea
for me right now.

Talking to the feds is
gonna get me in hot water

With a very dangerous guy.

Who? The guy who came
looking for you at the house?

Someone was
at the house?

Yeah, somebody
broke into the house.

Stan says he thinks he was there
to collect a gambling debt.

Or maybe it has something to do
with what happened in dallas.

What is it?
You talked to stan?

Yeah.
Earlier today.

Is he right?

Was the guy
collecting a debt?

I don't know.
Maybe.

You're gambling again?

Are you playing poker?

Would you back off me
for like one minute?

Uh, do you mind
if i have a little talk

With your brother alone?

No offense,
but "sister's boyfriend"

Isn't exactly
a position of authority to me.

Let me
offer you a deal.

You come back to texas
with your sister and me,

And you'll never
have to testify.

And no one will ever know
that you helped us.

[ chuckles ]
how do you swing that?

We'll catch the killer

In a way that your testimony
will be unnecessary.

Just like that?

Well, i skipped a few steps
in the middle, but yeah.

[ chuckles ]

I don't even know you,
man.

Why should i trust you?

Because i haven't
told your sister

About the man in the house
and why he was really there.

I know
he's not from dallas,

And i don't think
that he was there

To collect
on a gambling debt.

Do i have to go on?

No.

Look, i-i don't like
keeping secrets from teresa.

I care about her.

And i care about the people
that she cares about.

You come back to texas,
and you'll be fine.

I promise.

We're good.

[ elevator bell dings ]

This is
where you work?

Lisbon:
It is, yeah.

Fancy.

Step up from the fryer
at casper's.

It's probably better
for your face, too.

Hi.
I'm jimmy lisbon.

Can i help you?

Jimmy, come on.
Let's go.

[ sighs ] later.
[ clears throat ]

Get in.

Okay.

You're recording me?

You gonna read me
my rights first?

I have to put this on record.
It's for your own good.

What were you doing
in dallas

The night nathan barnes
was killed?

You're gonna be mad.
Jimmy.

Okay, but i don't want
to hear about it.

I was at a poker game
at the wrightwood hotel.

You drove to dallas
for a poker game?

It's three hours
from oklahoma city.

You'd drive three hours
for a good game.

No,
i wouldn't.

It must've been
my other big sister

Who taught me
how to play cards.

Was the victim
at the game?

Yeah.
Nathan was there.

We got to talking.

He said he had some
electrical work needed done.

I gave him my card,
said i was an electrician.

Did you see him
get killed?

No way.

Do you know
who did it?

No.

Jimmy.

T, look...What happens is,
i-i go to the wrightwood, okay,

And nathan is there.

I know him and a friend of his
named charlie mcinnis.

He's another law clerk.

They're the only ones i know --
by name, at least.

Do you remember anybody else
who was there?

A woman named vicki,
i think.

Met a dude named ben.

You said there was somebody
there that you were afraid of.

Don't tell me
you can't remember his name.

[ sighs ]

The game's run by a guy
named george holiday.

Cho: George holiday --
50 years old.

He's a major player in the
dallas organized-crime world.

Union kickbacks,
sex trade, drugs,

Suspected of a few hits
in the '90s

Before he moved
into management.

Mobster in cowboy boots
and a big-time gambler.

Nathan barnes
was in a ton of debt to holiday.

How much?

$140,000, $150,000.

He was a chatty drunk
after a few gin and tonics.

So,
there you go.

Have fun catching him.

I'm not sure
holiday's our guy.

Why not?

It's hard to get money
out of a dead man.

The killer is almost certainly
a part of that poker game.

We need
to get in on that.

Forget it.
Took me weeks.

I had to charm holiday
with my mad poker skills.

Let us take care of it.
How do we find him?

He's a silent partner
at an upscale sports bar

In dallas
called donovan's.

I just had
a contentious phone call

With u.S. Attorney
sandoval.

Her office was alerted by tsa
about your brother's flight.

She asked
that we hand him over.

Whoa.

I mean, you said that
i wouldn't have to do this.

Well, you won't --
just yet.

I told her that
we caught a break in the case.

She wasn't happy,
but she agreed

To let us follow it
for 72 hours.

Now, if we find a suspect in
that time, the collar is hers.

If we don't, then we need
to rethink our strategy.

Uh, cho and i need
to make friends with a mobster.

We're gonna need
some cash.

I'll see
what i can do.

Jane, that guy who attacked you
in chicago?

Mm-hmm?

I found someone who fit
the description you gave.

Name's delfino --
low-level thug.

It's odd, though.

Lisbon said
he was after jimmy,

But i can't find any connection
between the two.

Delfino's chicago,
born-and-bred.

No connection
to oklahoma city or dallas.

If he
was after jimmy,

I don't know
who he was working for.

Want the locals
to pick him up?

No.

Uh, let's sit on this,
and don't tell anyone, okay?

Sure thing.

[ mid-tempo music plays ]

Holiday.

They're gonna run it.

They're gonna pass.

Okay,
let's put it up there.

Let's see, shall we?

Cho:
Come on, now.

Here we are.
$60.

You're on.

Run it.
Run it.

Yes.
Ooh.

I do love
taking your money.

Well,
i'll have my revenge.

Mm-hmm.

Mm. Another?
Yeah.

Uh, bartender,
two more drinks.

Oh,
drinks on me.

Sir,
you want a drink?

I'm buying.

I buy my own drinks,
thanks.

Smart man.

Never put yourself
in another person's debt.

Uh, let's make this a little
more interesting, shall we?

$1,000 says next drive
ties the game.

That's too much
for me.

Nah. $1,000.
Come on.

$1,000.
Anyone want in?

Money on the bar.

Do you know anything
about football?

Why don't you take the bet
and find out?

[ chuckles ]

You ought to be more careful
with your money...

...And your mouth.

Thank you...
For the advice.

Holiday: Goodness,
you look delicious.

Eh, fishing with
the wrong bait.

Charlie mcinnis?

I'm agent michelle vega.

I'd like
to talk to you

About the murder
of judge barnes' son, nathan.

Sure.
Yeah, terrible what happened.

Um,
heidi pendleton.

This is my fiancée.

We work
with judge barnes.

Hi.

Nathan was
an amazing guy.

I...Um, i'm sorry.

It's okay.

Uh...It seems so senseless,
what happened.

[ sighs ]

I helped nathan with some
of his domestic-abuse cases.

We became friends
through that.

Nathan was at a poker game
the night he got killed.

You were there, too,
weren't you, mr. Mcinnis?

Yes.

So you know
george holiday.

Yeah,
but just from the game.

Who else did you know
at the game?

Um...Nathan, obviously,

Uh...A kid named
jimmy lisbon,

Uh, there was a woman
named vicki shell,

And benjamin bennett.

You played poker
with bennett?

Yeah,
it was nothing.

What do you know
about benjamin bennett?

Judge barnes
ruled against him

In a patent case
a few months back.

He was ticked off.

There was
a lot of money involved.

That's how we know him.
You know, through the paperwork.

And the poker game?

Isn't that
a conflict of interest?

I mean, i never discussed
the case with him.

But someone did?

Well, bennett was working nathan
about it,

Wanted to get his mom
to revisit the ruling.

Nathan said no,
of course,

But, uh,
bennett wouldn't let it go.

[ keyboard clacking ]

So, there were six players
at the poker game.

Cho:
George holiday.

Nathan was in debt to holiday
for 140 grand.

That's a big chip
for holiday to play.

Charlie mcinnis?

He lost big that night.
Not a good night for him.

Benjamin bennett --
goes by benben.

Former
college basketball star

Trying to make it
as an entrepreneur.

The victim's mother ruled
against him in a patent case.

Vicki shell --
avid cyclist

And c.E.O. Of
a dallas bicycle manufacturer.

According to jimmy,
she had an eye for the victim.

You're sure one of them
killed nathan?

Well,
it seems likely.

We won't know for sure
until we get into the game.

Well,
how'd it go with holiday?

You in?
Not yet.

He needs a different kind
of motivation.

What kind?

[ eric lindell's
"lullaby for mercy ann" plays ]

Scotch on the rocks,
please.

¶ my sweet, sweet,
sweet baby girl ¶

¶ sweetest girl
in the whole wide world ¶

On the house.

Thank you,
kind stranger.

George, please.

Teresa.

Teresa.

So, what's your story,
teresa?

¶ ...Your love
is really something ¶

¶ your love
is really something to see ¶

¶ you remind me every day that
love is a beautiful thing ¶

I got to tell you something,
buddy.

You got a much better sense
about women

Than you do
about football.

Well,
it's just money.

[ chuckles ]

You really mean that,
you've never been broke.

Well,
what's the point of having money

If you can't have fun with it,
right?

Betting on sports is fun,

But, uh,
there's no skill in it.

Gets boring
after a while.

You play cards?

He's terrible
at poker.

Stop it.
You're drunk.

Lisbon: You're drunk.
I'm good at cards.

He lost $27,000
in one poker game,

And then he told me
it was fun.

It was fun.
It was fun...For a while.

I mean,
here's the thing with cards.

It's like a showdown in the
wild west -- kill or be killed.

I mean,
who doesn't love that?

It's nothing like that
at all.

You know, i might
know of a game -- big one.

5 grand buy-in.

Is that something
that might interest you?

Deal me in there,
partner.

Jane's in the game.
The wrightwood hotel?

Presidential suite.

We're gonna need surveillance
cameras all over that place.

You got a plan
for getting them in?

Yeah,
i believe we do.

The wedding's next year,
and we were thinking about

Holding it here
at the wrightwood.

And then we were shopping
and thought, "what they hey?

Let's check it out."

It's nice,
huh?

I guess.

Man: Well, we actually
have an array

Of all-inclusive
wedding packages.

We just want
to see the room.

Oh.
Of course.

[ chuckles ]
this here.

[ lock beeps ]

And here we go.

And the table is set up
for an event tonight.

Wow.

This is
really nice.

I think
this could work, honey.

You think. Hmm?
Do you care what i think?

You don't like it.

Does it matter?

You only care
about what your mother likes.

Don't talk
about my mother.

Oh, i think we need
to talk about your mother.

No, i think you need
to calm down.

Do not tell me
to calm down.

Seriously,
you're embarrassing me.

Dígame una vez
más que me calme

Y te rompo la cabeza
y lo tiro del balcón.

I'll leave you
to talk things over.

I'll be at the front desk
if you need me.

Camera in the corner,
camera on the counter,

Camera on
the thermostat.

I didn't know you were
gonna flip to spanish.

Kind of
a spur-of-the-moment thing.

Did you understand?

Something about
ripping my head off?

You've been studying.

[ chuckles ]
hand me the wrench.

Thanks.

[ clattering ]

[ thermostat beeps ]

You don't see it
at all.

Thanks.
How's the toilet?

Busted.

Excellent. Let's go.

[ cellphone vibrates ]

Hello?

Teresa,
i didn't know who else to call.

Karen?
What's wrong?

Stan got beat up.

Oh, my god.
Is he okay?

He said
it was an accident at work.

[ sniffles ]
i don't believe him.

Stan:
Leave it alone, t.

No. Your wife
is scared to death.

Who did this?

[ sighs ]
a couple of guys got drunk

And were looking
for trouble, all right?

That's not what you told karen.
Uh, why are you lying to me?

I'm not.

Look, i know crap
when i hear it, stan.

I am gonna kill jimmy for
getting you involved in this.

Just stay out of it.
Please?

I'll talk
to you later.

[ indistinct talking on tv ]
got to catch that.

What's going on
with stan?

What? Nothing.

That's what jane was talking
to you about at the lake --

Why you agreed
to come out here.

You're hiding something
about stan.

[ scoffs ]

Jimmy...Come on.

Tell me
what's going on.

[ tv turns off ]

Stan had a couple bad breaks
in his business.

Karen's last pregnancy
was tough.

He got behind
on his bills.

He owes money
to the wrong people.

A loan shark.
What's he in for?

Over 30 grand.

$30,000? God.

The man
that attacked jane --

He wasn't looking
for you.

He was there
for stan.

Why'd you cover
for him?

Stan, he's -- he's working
so hard to be good.

Just wanted you
to be proud of him.

I am proud of him.

I'm proud
of all of you.

Really?

Did you call me when
i got my electrician's license?

You only call to yell at me,
just like always.

Look,
i know i was tough on you

When you were a kid,
but come on.

You know
what mom and dad were like.

Somebody had to be
responsible,

And somebody had to be
in charge.

Yeah?
You were in charge.

Then you left.

So, jimmy's gonna be
part of this?

Yeah.
Has to be.

He's gonna play in the game?
I need him there.

Well,
then i'm gonna be there.

He'll be safe.
We'll have eyes on them.

He's my little brother.
I'm gonna be there.

Yeah,
of course.

How's it gonna go?

Jimmy's gonna make contact
with all the suspects.

Holiday's sending
the invitation.

Jimmy's gonna make sure
they show up.

Mcinnis.

Charlie, hey.
It's jimmy from the poker game.

Well, hello,
jimmy from the poker game.

What's going on?

Did you get
george holiday's invitation?

There's a game tonight.

Patrick: And then
he will use the word

That makes every poker player
smell blood.

I'm telling you,
ben.

This guy's a whale.
Okay?

One of my friends
played with him.

This guy dropped like $20,000
in one night.

For real?

He's a terrible player.

Doesn't care
if he wins or loses.

Just wants action.

We'll clean him out.

Where are we
with the surveillance?

Cameras coming online...
Now.

Holiday, jimmy lisbon,
charlie mcinnis, vicki shell,

And benben
are in the room.

All right.

Tell jane and lisbon
we're ready.

Yep.

That was wylie.
They're all set.

Hey.

I'm sorry.
Um, yeah, i'm ready.

Let's go.

Your brothers
don't hate you, you know.

Yeah, they do.

No, they don't.

Jimmy's right --
i left.

After my mom died,
i was the parent, and i left.

Well, you felt trapped.
Of course you did.

Now stan's life is a mess,
jimmy's got a gambling problem,

And god only knows
what tommy's up to.

Yeah, sure, look,
t-they've got their problems.

But they're good people.

And they
wouldn't even be here

If you hadn't loved
and protected them
when they were kids.

You're uncomfortable around them
because you feel guilt.

I understand that.

But you need to know
they're not mad at you.

They're not.

They just miss you.

You knew exactly
what was going on --

With stan and jimmy
and the guy at the house.

You figured it out,

And you didn't say a word
to me.

Well...
It's not my business.

Thank you.

All right, let's go.

We've got a game to get to.

Absolutely.

Welcome.
You remember teresa?

I'm just here
to watch.

Make yourself at home,
darling.

[ chuckles ]

Jimmy: Take any more of
my money, you're gonna
have to buy me dinner.

[ chuckles ]

We'll see.

Holiday: That was a bad beat
last week, charlie.

You don't have to do anything
other than play poker.

Focus on the game.
Let me do the work.

What work,
exactly?

You'll see.

First,
another drink.

Toilet's busted.

Plugged?

It's not flushing.

Don't go in there.

[ sighs ]

All right,
so what do you guys want to do?

You want to pull up stakes
and take it to another room?

Patrick: W-we --
we're gonna relocate

Just because
there's a plumbing snafu?

I mean, i-i-i didn't come here
to go to the bathroom.

I came here
to play poker.

Let's just play poker.

Man wants
to play cards.

So be it.
All right.

There is a washroom
down at the end of the hall

By the health club.

Take a walk
or hold your water.

Patrick jane.

That's my girlfriend,
teresa.

I'm just here to watch
and enjoy the open bar.

The game
is texas hold'em.

No limit.

Start off
a little slow.

And away we go.

[ holiday
speaking indistinctly ]

So,
is jane cheating?

Yeah,
but he isn't playing to win.

He's watching the other players
so he can learn their tells...

Ooh, what do we have
on fourth street, here?

...Subtle behaviors
a player makes

When he has a good
or a bad hand.

I know
what a tell is.

Nose rub.

Last time she did that,
she got a flush.

The nose rub
is her tell.

Ha.
Told you.

[ vicki chuckles ]

Okay, game on.

[ chuckles ]

Rocking.
He rocks side to side.

Oh! Eyebrow scratch.

[ chuckles ]

Hair scratch.

That's all of them.

Time for phase two.

So, it's back to me,
huh?

Well,
we all feeling good?

We feeling all right there,
honey?

I don't know.

There's something disturbing
in this room.

Ah, she's a little sensitive,
a little psychic.

Psychic?
Almost.

Was somebody
killed here recently?

Oh, my god.

Uh, not in this room, but, yeah,
one of our players was killed.

Nate -- no.

Uh, nathan.

I-is --
is that his name?

This is getting
a little weird.

Amazing,
isn't she?

Uh,
it's kind of uncanny.

Yeah.

We're playing poker,
aren't we?

I'm in.

Sorry.
Wait, wait, wait.

Uh, th-there's more.
There is?

I'm feeling
a darker presence.

The killer
is in this room.

Oh, come on.
One of you killed nathan.

Wait.
Don't touch your cards.

The killer
is the one who has the ace.

I think things
just got interesting.

She says the killer's
holding an ace.

I'm curious.

It's mcinnis.

[ holiday chuckles ]

Looks like daddy's
going to the big house.

[ laughter ]

Whoops.

Gonna go get myself a drink.

Not so much of a psychic
after all, i guess.

Now,
can we play some cards?

So,
are we ready to go?

Not yet.

Now jane makes sure
mcinnis wins.

[ sighs ]

Ah, take it.

Oh, look out,
daddy.

Lucky guy.

[ chuckling ]
you're good. You're good.
Boy, you're hot.

You're having
a good night.

Mm-hmm.

Okay, i am now
gonna take the long walk

To the little boy's room.

[ sighs ]

Feeling a little warm.
I don't know about anyone else.

[ sighs ]
time for a drink.

Or two.

[ door closes ]

Can i get you something?

Patrick:
What the hell is this?

What?

Honey,
we're leaving.

What? Why?

We're in the middle
of a game.

Uh,
there's a hidden camera here.

What?

Patrick: There.

Camera?

What the hell?

Mr. Mcinnis.

Agent kimball cho --
fbi.

What is this?
What's going on?

We know
you killed nathan barnes.

What?
That's ridiculous.

Our agents in the room
are telling holiday it was you.

Mcinnis has been winning
all night.

He's got someone watching in
another room, feeding him cards.

Oh, geez.

Now, barnes owed holiday
a lot of money.

By killing nathan barnes,
you cheated him out of it.

This is
a live feed.

Turn yourself in for the murder,
and we'll protect you.

Look, i don't know what this is,
but this is really crazy.

Have fun
telling holiday that.

[ door closes ]

Mcinnis,
come on back.

We're waiting on you.

Come on, son.

It's your turn
to deal.

[ sighs ]

Come on back and play.

Get me out of here.

Good choice.
Let's go.

Where you going?

My fiancée, heidi,
started spending a lot of time

Helping nathan
with his pro-bono legal work.

I suspected
she was cheating on me.

I didn't have proof

Until nathan showed up
at the game that night.

I was losing that night --
bad.

Something was off.
Then i figured it out.

Nathan was wearing
one of my shirts.

How'd you know
it was your shirt?

My monogram on the cuff.

Nathan was sleeping
with heidi.

Must've grabbed one of my shirts
at her apartment

Instead of his.

He took a lot of money
from me that night,

And he -- he smirked
when he did it.

Ugh,
that little bastard.

He was just
rubbing it in my face.

He knew i knew,
and he loved it.

I followed him out.

I confronted him.

He had the nerve to deny it --
deny all of it.

But he was wearing
the proof.

We spoke
with your fiancée.

Heidi had gone
to coffee

With nathan
in her neighborhood that day.

Nathan spilled coffee
on his shirt,

And she gave him one
of your clean shirts to borrow.

The only thing he ever did
to you was beat you in cards.

[ kids laughing, shouting ]

[ chuckles ]
nice party.

Lisbon:
This is how we do it.

Hey.

Cheers.
Hey, where's my beer?

Oh, texas girls
drink margaritas.

Give me the beer.
Okay.

Stan: Hey, we got, uh,
burgers,

Brats, veggie-patty crap
if you want veggie-patty crap.

Your face
looks better.

Eh,
it's still a little sore.

I know
you're in trouble, stan.

Whatever i can do to help,
let me help.

You don't
have to do that.

I know
i don't have to.

I want to.

Just enough
to keep you

From getting punched
in the face again.

I kind of thought
you wouldn't mind

Seeing me get punched
in the face.

I'm the only one
who gets to punch you.

Okay.
You want one?

I'm good.

Hey, i'm glad
you made it out.

It means a lot.

And karen's family
was really impressed with you.

I'm impressed with you.

I'm proud of you,
t.

Thanks.

We should
hang out more.

Oh,
like normal people?

[ laughs mockingly ]
yeah, like normal people.

We should.
This has been fun.

It's too bad woody squire
couldn't make it.

It's a real shame
about that.
Yeah.

Shut up.

[ chuckles ]

We talked
about patrick.

You did, did you?
Yeah.

We like him.

He's a good guy.

Don't mess this one up,
okay?

I'll try not to.

I'm glad
we came back home.

Me too.

It was nice.

I don't think
i've said this.

I mean,
i know i haven't said this,

But i don't really know
if i need to

Because you always know
what i'm thinking.

Well,
not everything.

Would you be surprised
if i said i love you?

I'd be...

I'd be lying if i didn't say
i would be moved by that.

I love you.

I said it.

I'm surprised.

[ chuckles ]
