The Mentalist

DO I SEEM OUT OF PRACTICE? RED JOHN, IF YOU'RE LISTENING TO US NOW,

I URGE YOU TO REACH OUT AND GET HELP.

YOU CAN CHANGE. WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING?

DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND WHO YOU'RE DEALING WITH?

RED JOHN IS NOT COMING AFTER ME.ARE YOU BLIND? YOU'VE DONE EXACTLY WHAT I DID,

AND HE KILLED MY WIFE AND CHILD.

KRISTINA?

RED JOHN COULD'VE GOTTEN IN AND TAKEN HER,

OR MAYBE HE LURED HER OUT SOMEHOW.

AAH!

"TIGER, TIGER, BURNING BRIGHT..."

"IN THE FORESTS OF THE NIGHT,

"WHAT IMMORTAL HAND OR EYE

COULD FRAME THY FEARFUL SYMMETRY?"

I ALMOST FORGOT. KRISTINA WOULD WANT ME TO SEND HER LOVE.

YOU CAN'T PARK THERE.

SURE, I CAN. LOOK.

Roger. Stand by.

We'll call you back.

THERE YOU ARE.

HERE I AM. GOOD MORNING.

WHY SO GLUM?

THIS IS HARVEY DUBLIN.

THAT'S HIS CHAUFFEUR PETER RUSSO WITH THREE BULLETS IN HIM.

THAT'S HIS CAR. MR. DUBLIN'S GONE.

ABDUCTED, IT LOOKS LIKE.

HARVEY DUBLIN?

BIG-TIME STATEHOUSE LOBBYIST,

LAWYER, KINGMAKER. FAMOUS AND WELL-CONNECTED.

AH, THE EVIL TWINS.

BRASS AND MEDIA ARE GONNA BE ALL OVER US LIKE SUCKERFISH.

OH, WHY DON'T WE JUST GIVE IT TO THE FBI? THEY LOVE THAT STUFF.

OH, I WISH. TOO LATE.

THE NEW BOSS IS HERE DOING ON-CAMERAS. IT'S OUR BABY.

NEW BOSS? I THOUGHT HIGHTOWER WAS BOSS.

THE BOSS OF HIGHTOWER.

THE DIRECTOR OF THE ENTIRE DIVISION.

I TOLD YOU ABOUT HIM LAST WEEK. YOUR MEMORY'S GOING.

MY MEMORY IS A MIGHTY FORTRESS, LISBON,

FROM WHICH NO FACT EVER ESCAPES ONCE COMMITTED.

NOW WHEN YOU TELL ME BORING THINGS,

I SET 'EM FREE IMMEDIATELY.

SAVES OVERCROWDING.

HARVEY DUBLIN IS MISSING.

IT LOOKS LIKE A KIDNAPPING,

PRESUMABLY FOR RANSOM, BUT WE CAN'T BE SURE AT PRESENT.

WE SHALL HAVE TO AWAIT FURTHER DEVELOPMENTS.

HARVEY IS A PILLAR OF THIS CITY, ONE OF THE GOOD GUYS.

WE ARE ALL PRAYING FOR HIS SAFETY.

THANK YOU. OVER HERE, MR. BERTRAM. ONE MORE QUESTION FOR ME?

IDIOT.

YOU AND YOUR SNAP JUDGMENTS. WHAT IS HE SUPPOSED TO SAY?

WHY DOES HE HAVE TO SAY ANYTHING?

WHAT'S YOUR TAKE ON THIS?

HMM.

I DON'T KNOW.

MR. BERTRAM, OVER HERE. CAN I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION?

EH, I THINK I'LL GIVE THIS ONE A MISS.

A MISS? WHAT DO YOU MEAN "A MISS"?

I JUST FEEL THIS ONE IS NOT FOR ME.

I'LL CATCH THE NEXT ONE, I-I-I PROMISE.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND. YOU'RE NOT GONNA--

AGENT LISBON, I BELIEVE? AND MR. JANE?YES. HI.

DIRECTOR BERTRAM WILL SPEAK TO YOU NOW.

WE'RE ON A SUPERTIGHT SCHEDULE. HE APPRECIATE FACTS AND BREVITY.

OKAY?

AGENT LISBON.

YES, SIR, DIRECTOR BERTRAM.

AND YOU MUST BE OUR BOY WONDER PATRICK JANE.

I'VE HEARD A LOT OF GOOD THINGS ABOUT YOU.HI. NICE TO MEET YOU, SIR.

NOW I WANT THIS RESOLVED A.S.A.P.

WHATEVER IT TAKES. THE HECK WITH OVERTIME RESTRICTIONS.

YOU DO THE HOURS, I'LL FIND THE FUNDING.

WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER AS ONE.

THAT'S WHAT I'M ALL ABOUT.OH, WE ARE ON IT, SIR.

UH, YEAH, I WON'T BE WORKING THIS PARTICULAR CASE,

BUT I-I DO LIKE WHAT YOU SAID.

WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER AS ONE. MAO TSE-TUNG, RIGHT?

NOW HOLD YOUR HORSES THERE, BUSTER.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU WON'T WORKING ON THIS ONE?WELL, STATEHOUSE LOBBYIST ABDUCTIONS--

IT'S, UH, NOT REALLY MY CUP OF TEA.

WELL, THAT'S--THAT'S KIND OF UNPROFESSIONAL, DON'T YOU THINK?

I GUESS, BUT I'M NOT ACTUALLY A PROFESSIONAL.

QUESTION FOR YOU.

W-WHY ARE YOU HERE? ASIDE FROM THE CAMERAS.

OH, WHAT DO YOU MEAN, "ASIDEFROM THE CAMERAS"?

PUBLIC PERCEPTION IS AN IMPORTANT TOOL.

MM.

TOOL.OOH.

YOU JUST PUT YOUR HAND ON ME.

NO. I MEAN, YES, BUT--

YES, YOU DID. DON'T EVER DO THAT AGAIN.

OR ELSE WHAT?

YOU EVER SMELL A DEAD MOUSE? DO YOU REMEMBER THAT SMELL?

YES.

WELL, I JUST NOW

PUT A DEAD MOUSE IN YOUR JACKET POCKET.

AND NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU CLEAN THAT JACKET,

YOU'LL ALWAYS SMELL THAT DEAD MOUSE, AND YOU'LL REMEMBER

THAT YOU SHOULD NEVER HAVE PUT YOUR HAND ON ME.

AAH! YOU SON OF A BITCH.

IT'S ACTUALLY JUST A WADDED UP NAPKIN

BUT, UH, HAS THE SAME PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECT.

HUMAN MIND IS FUNNY THAT WAY.

GOOD TO MEET YOU, SIR. SORRY, LISBON.

HE HAD A ROUGH SUMMER.

RIGSBY AND VAN PELT ARE CANVASSING

THE AREA AROUND THE ABDUCTION SITE.

CHO'S WITH MRS. DUBLIN, WAITING FOR A RANSOM DEMAND,

AND TECH SERVICES ARE UP AND RUNNING.

WELL, THIS IS A SCARY ONE. LOTS OF ATTENTION.

KEEP MOLLY IN PUBLIC AFFAIRS

APPRISED OF ANY GOOD STUFF WE CAN FEED THE MEDIA,

KEEP THEM ON OUR SIDE,

AND DON'T MAKE ANY MISTAKES.

NO, MA'AM.

HOW'S JANE?

THE SAME.

YOU THINK HE'S IN DANGER OF CRACKING UP?

NO.

I MEAN, NO. WELL, I DON'T THINK SO. I THINK HE'LL BE FINE.

THAT'S NOT VERY CONVINCING, LISBON.

WHAT HE'S BEEN THROUGH WOULD BREAK ANYONE.

HE'S NOT GONNA CRACK UP.

I THINK SOME TIME OFF WILL DO HIM GOOD, THOUGH.

YEAH, WELL, NO CAN DO.

BERTRAM WANTS HIM ON THE DUBLIN CASE.

AFTER JANE WAS SO RUDE TO HIM?BERTRAM'S ALL BOTTOM LINE.

HE WON'T LET PERSONAL ISSUES INTRUDE.

JANE'S THE BEST ASSET WE HAVE, AND BERTRAM KNOWS THAT.

BUT JANE DOESN'T WANT TO BE ON THE CASE.CHANGE HIS MIND.

I'M NOT GONNA TELL BERTRAM WE CAN'T CONTROL OUR OWN PEOPLE.

I HAVE AN IDEA AS TO HOW TO PERSUADE HIM,

BUT IT'S KIND OF UNETHICAL.

I DON'T WANNA KNOW.

WHERE'S JANE?

UPSTAIRS.

THANKS.

JANE?

COME IN.

HEY.

NICE PLACE.

YEAH. YEAH, I LIKE THE VIEW AND THE QUIET.

AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH ALL THE QUIET?

JUST THINKING.

JANE, YOU HAVE TO STOP BLAMING YOURSELF.

IF RED JOHN TOOK KRISTINA FRYE, IT'S NOT YOUR--

THERE'S NO "IF." HE TOOK HER.

IFHE DID, YOU CAN'T BLAME YOURSELF.

BESIDES, WHAT GOOD IS IT TO SIT UP HERE,

SCRIBBLING IN YOUR BOOK? YOU'RE NOT GONNA FIND HER THAT WAY.

I'M NOT GONNA CHANGE MY MIND.

I DON'T WANT TO WORK THE DUBLIN CASE.

THAT'S FINE. IT'S A DONE DEAL. I UNDERSTAND.

IT'D BE GOOD FOR YOU TO HAVE A BREAK.

LISTEN, ON A COMPLETELY OTHER SUBJECT,

I NEED A PERSONAL FAVOR.

I'D LIKE YOU TO COME AND MEET SOMEONE.

WHO?I CAN'T TELL.

WHY NOT?

I PROMISE IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HARVEY DUBLIN.

YOU'RE TRYING TO PLAY ME SOMEHOW,

CONVINCE ME TO CHANGE MY MIND.

NO.YES, YOU ARE.

AND I GUESS I OWE YOU A SHOT.

BUT IT'S NOT GONNA WORK, WHATEVER IT IS.

HEY, CHO, HOW'S IT GOIN' WITH MRS. DUBLIN?

NOTHING SO FAR. WHEN'S SOMEBODY COMING TO RELIEVE ME HERE?

WHY? WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?

NOTHING. I'LL CALL IF WE GET ANY DEVELOPMENTS.

WHAT IS IT? IS IT HARVEY?

NO, MA'AM.

OH, MY GOD!

I AM GONNA EXPLODE! I CAN'T STAND IT!

I CAN'T TAKE IT! I SWEAR TO GOD!

WHY, KIMBALL?

WHY AM I BEING PUNISHED? I'M A GOOD PERSON.

YES, MA'AM.

STOP CALLING ME "MA'AM."

I'M NOT YOUR GRANDMOTHER.

HOW OLD DO YOU THINK I AM ANYWAY?

48, 49.

I GET THE PICTURE.DO YOU?

YEAH, DUBLIN'S DRIVER-- THE DEAD GUY, PETE RUSSO, RIGHT?

HE HAS FAMILY.

HE WASN'T WEARING A WEDDING RING, SO, UH...
