Quotes 

• Kim Fischer : [about Jane]  He made fools of us.

  Kimball Cho : It won't be the last time.

• Kim Fischer : I was so certain I had him figured out.

  Teresa Lisbon : Welcome to my life.

• Patrick Jane : Don't worry. I won't escape.

  Kim Fischer : Oh, I'm not worried. If you walk away this time...

  Patrick Jane : I know. I'll end up spending the rest of my life in prison.

  Kim Fischer : No. I'll shoot you.

• Kim Fischer : We know how Jane works. And we know he's a risk, but we can't ignore the upside. He closed every case you were ever assigned.

  Teresa Lisbon : Yeah, he had help.

  Kim Fischer : Which is why I'm here.

  Teresa Lisbon : Well, what do you want from me?

  Kim Fischer : Help me, Lisbon. There are national security issues at play. Jane won't work with us unless we meet his demands.

  Teresa Lisbon : He has too much pride to back down. You got to give him a win. Meet one of his demands.

  Kim Fischer : One of his demands is you.

  Teresa Lisbon : Meet another one.

• Teresa Lisbon : Do you still think Abel killed Cleo?

  Patrick Jane : Oh, I know he did. Guy's a hothead. Those swollen biceps and neck tattoos; the mere hint of an affair would set that guy off.

  Kim Fischer : Why was her psychic here the night Abel disappeared? If Defiance was out with her friends all, there was no was reason for him to be at the loft.

  Teresa Lisbon : Cleo Ascencio. It's such a theatrical name. You think it's real?

  Kimball Cho : It is. We ran his fingerprints.

  Teresa Lisbon : Let me guess. Clean record?

  Kimball Cho : Spotless.

  Patrick Jane : What are you suggesting, Lisbon?

  Teresa Lisbon : Ascencio, it... it sounds Cuban. There's a scam that they do in Cuba. Brokers charge large sums of money to surgically modify fingerprints. They swap the right fingertips and the left, it fools immigration every time.

  Kim Fischer : How do you know that?

  Teresa Lisbon : I'm a police chief. With a lot of reading time on my hands.

• Kim Fischer : [meeting a hostile neighbor of the victim's]  Nice guy.

  Teresa Lisbon : His name is Nguyen Hei. He's a Vietnamese refugee. He used to run a noddle shop, now he owns the building. He was home the evening of the disappearance but he didn't hear or see anything.

  Kim Fischer : How do you know that?

  Teresa Lisbon : I read the case files.

  Patrick Jane : I thought you weren't interested in the case.

  Teresa Lisbon : It was a long plane ride.

• Teresa Lisbon : How's Jane?

  Kim Fischer : He is still in detention.

  Teresa Lisbon : I know. They won't deliver my letters. Three months now.

  Kim Fischer : He's being kept in isolation by design.

  Teresa Lisbon : By design. You mean until he does what you want.

  Kim Fischer : We want to help him out.

  Teresa Lisbon : You want to use him.

  Kim Fischer : Is that so bad?

  Teresa Lisbon : In case you haven't noticed, Jane is hardly federal agent material.

  Kim Fischer : Was he state agent material?

  Teresa Lisbon : No, not really. But he wanted to be there.

  Kim Fischer : And while he was there, he stopped the ten year reign of a mass murderer and exposed a society of corruption in law enforcement that spread halfway across the country.

  Teresa Lisbon : Yeah, that didn't exactly go down by the books, did it?

• Kim Fischer : How did you make it work for so long?

  Teresa Lisbon : I've thought about that myself. I mean... after he disappeared, how I made it work for so long.

  Kim Fischer : And what's the answer?

  Teresa Lisbon : I have no idea.

• Kim Fischer : Congratulations. You got one over on me. It's a nice stunt. You feel better now?

  Patrick Jane : Mm. No. You woke me up.

  Kim Fischer : Yeah, I don't get you. You hunted down and killed your enemy. Why are you making new ones?

  Patrick Jane : Eh, you're right. Running away was a mistake. I'm ready to discuss the job offer now.

  Kim Fischer : There is no offer. Not anymore.

  Patrick Jane : Nonsense. Let's talk.

  Kim Fischer : I am taking you back to Texas. And next week, you'll be indicted for the murder of Thomas McAllister, among other charges.

• Patrick Jane : Your cats find the body yet?

  Kim Fischer : What body?

  Patrick Jane : The body hidden on the roof of Abel Schneiderman's building.

  Kim Fischer : You saw it?

  Patrick Jane : No, but there's a large pile of soil just by the garden. And winter is almost upon us, so what is that soil doing there? That's a rhetorical question. The soil is there to make room for Cleo, Mrs. Schneiderman's psychic. He went missing the same time as her husband.

  Kim Fischer : What are you talking about?

  Patrick Jane : Abel found out his wife was sleeping with her psychic, so he killed him in the bedroom. Abel doesn't own a car, so he cut up the body into pieces and buried them in the garden. Your kidnap victim isn't kidnapped; he's a killer and he's on the run.

  Kim Fischer : You're good.

  Patrick Jane : Thank you.

  Kim Fischer : A good liar.
