White Collar

- Watch out. - Get in line.

Single file. Single file.

Don't you ever be sad Lean on me

Hi. How're you doing, man?

I'm good. How are you doing? I'm fine.

It's only 5 bucks, man.

I'll give you 3.

About to drown

Hold on I'm comin'

Sir.

I'm on my way Your lover

Take good care of her. We'll be back in a month.

Thank you, sir.

Because I'm here

Just hold on I'm comin'

Hold on I'm comin'

Hold on

Drop three.

Drop two.

Drop four.

All pins down. Preparing to open.

Three, two, four. Wait!

You okay?

What happened? I said wait. You didn't wait.

Ugh! Ten thousand man-hours to get this close to the Dutchman,

and you blow up my evidence.

Agent Burke, how'd you know it was gonna do that?

Three, two, four. Look at your phones.

What does it spell?

Oh. "FBI." Yeah, "FBI."

Apparently, he knew we were coming. You think so, Copernicus?

Somebody wanna tell me what this is, huh? Anybody?

Nobody knows what it is. Great.

Look at you. How many of you went to Harvard?

Don't raise your hands. Don't.

Ah. Diana. Look at this. Apparently, our boy has a sense of humor.

What? Neal Caffrey escaped.

What's this? U.S. Marshals are requesting your help.

My help? Director Thompson asked for you...

...personally. Me? Why would he want me?

Probably because you're the only one who ever caught him.

Agent Burke. I'm Thompson, U.S. Marshals. Appreciate the help.

You were the case agent? Yes.

So you'll agree that this is an unusual situation?

Why would Neal run with three months left on a four-year sentence?

This is Warden Haskley. Agent Burke, FBI. So you're the guy who dropped the ball.

You know what Neal Caffrey's capable of.

I know I spent three years chasing him, and you let him walk out the front door.

Gentlemen, might I remind you that Caffrey has a four-hour head start?

Caffrey came out of the E Block staff bathroom dressed as a guard.

Where'd he get the uniform? Uniform supply company on the Internet.

He used a credit card?

He used my wife's American Express.

We're tracing the number in case he uses it again.

He won't.

- Hey, pretty boy. - Settle down.

How did he get the key cards for the gate?

Well, we think he re-striped a utility card using the record head on that.

Could've given him a CD player.

He walked out the front door...

...and hot-wired a maintenance truck in the parking lot.

We found it abandoned near the airport.

We beefed up security just in case he tries to get out that way.

Oh, we're not gonna catch Caffrey using roadblocks and wanted posters.

Shaved his beard just before he escaped.

Neal doesn't have a beard.

The inmates are photographed each morning as they exit their cells.

- I hardly recognize him. - Yeah, I think that's the point.

- This morning? - Yes.

Run the series back.

Stop.

That's it. When he stopped shaving.

I wanna know everything that happened that day.

He had a visitor.

Kate Moreau? You know her? Yeah, I do.

No audio? No.

She comes back every week like clockwork.

She's not thrilled about this visit.

How soon can we get a lip-reader here? I'll save you the trouble.

"Adios, Neal. it's been real."

She come back next week?

She never came back.

Okay. Let's find Kate.

That's right. We got it.

I see Kate moved out.

She leave you a message in that?

The bottle is the message.

It's been a while. Yeah.

Few years, give or take.

You carrying?

You know I don't like guns.

They asked me what makes a guy like you pull a boneheaded escape...

...with four months to go.

Guess you figured it out.

Kate says adios to you at prison...

...then gets busy with her disappearing act.

Her trail ends here.

But you already know that.

I missed her by two days.

Still, only took you a month and a half to escape a super-max.

Damn impressive. Heh.

- All clear. Subject identified and unarmed. - Roger that.

We surrounded?

How many? Including my agents and the marshals...

...all of them, I think.

What's the message?

"Goodbye."

Women.

We're gonna give you another four years for this, you know.

I don't care.

That's the same suit you were wearing the last time you arrested me.

Mm. Classics never go out of style.

You know what this is?

No idea. I got it from a case I was supposed to be working on...

...before they yanked me off to find you.

You think you'll catch him?

Don't know.

He's good. Maybe as good as you.

What's it worth if I tell you what this is?

Is it worth a meeting?

What are you talking about? If I tell you what this is now...

...will you agree to meet me back in prison in one week?

- Just a meeting. - Hallway clear.

You two, move it. Okay.

It's a security fiber for the new Canadian 100-dollar bill.

Ready? Put your hands where I can see them.

Let's go. One week.

Got him.

Hey.

What's got the belt-and-suspender boys all riled up?

You. Me? What'd I do?

Caffrey was right. That stuff from the bank vault...

...security fibers for the new Canadian 100.

Whew.

Well, I'll be damned. The formulation's still classified.

The Canadian secret service are very curious to know how you figured it out.

Should be fun. You may have started...

...an international incident.

How did you know? Come on, Peter. It's what I do.

How upset were the Canadians? Oh, very.

Well, as upset as Canadians can get. All right, so I agreed to a meeting.

We're meeting.

I know why you call him the Dutchman.

Like the ghost ship. He disappears whenever you get close.

How do you know anything about him?

You know my life. You don't think I know yours?

Did you get the birthday cards? Nice touch.

You've been after the Dutchman almost as long as you were after me.

I'll help you catch him.

Really? Really? How does that work? You wanna be prison pen pals?

You can get me out of here. There's case law. Precedent.

I can be released into your custody.

Nice. This is very nice. But you're right, I do know you.

And I know the second you're out, you'll take off after Kate.

Peter, I am not gonna run.

GPS tracking anklet. The new ones are tamperproof.

Never been skipped on. There's always a first time.

Think about it. Sorry, Neal. Nice try.

Lights out, Bobby. Shut them down.

Neal.

Gotta turn that off.

Get one more minute, Bobby? Okay, one minute.

Is it midnight yet? Yeah, it's midnight.

All corrections personnel to your security operations.

Shut up, man!

You coming to bed tonight? Yeah.

Ahh. Hmm. What's wrong?

Nothing.

Don't tell me it's Neal Caffrey.

I've been competing with him for three years.

He'd be out today. You considering his offer?

Well, of course you are, or you'd be in bed with me.

Can he help you find him?

Neal's smart. You know how much I like smart.

Is he as smart as those lvy League coeds they throw at you?

He's almost as brilliant as the woman I married.

Good answer.

So, what's the problem?

This is not the way it's supposed to go.

You get caught, you do your time. There's more to this.

More to this than some lost love.

Some side angle he's playing.

So you're suggesting he escapes a maximum-security prison...

...knowing that you'd catch him...

...just so he could trick you into letting him out again?

It's a working theory. Yeah. Keep working.

Is it so hard for you to believe a man would do that for the woman he loves?

Neal just bought himself four more years in prison. For what?

For what?

If you were Neal, you wouldn't have run for me?

Let me see it.

You understand how this works?

I'm released into the custody of the FBI...

...under your supervision. Let this thing chafe my leg.

Anything I'm missing? Yeah. if you run and I catch you...

...which you know I will because I'm 2 and 0...

...you're not back here for four years, you're back here for good.

You're gonna be tempted to look for Kate. Don't.

I told you, the bottle meant goodbye. Then leave it at that.

This is a temporary situation.
