"Unhappy?" "About six months ago, dr." "Tannen asked my advice." "Alison had asked him to get her a year's supply of birth control pills off the books," "Which is strictly against a.m.a.code."

"Are you suggesting we drop a prime suspect because he's never won a major?" "Oh, no, no, no." "I'm just making idle conversation." "How'd you do that?" "Telekinesis." "He blew on it." "That is another way to do it." "Mr. Jane, I have a question regarding your previous career path." "Fire away." "When you met with other psychics-- real psychics" "Could they tell you were just pretending?" "There's no such thing as real psychics." "I beg to differ." "My cousin yolanda is a psychic."

"The blood on the cloth in the envelope is alison randolph's." "But they found a hair in there-- doesn't belong to her or tannen." "Guess who it does belong to." "It's yours, tag." "Amazing, huh?" "Science." "This is insane." "I didn't..." "I didn't kill alison." "How do you explain your hair in the envelope?" "Either it was a mistake, or--or I'm being framed." "Who would want to frame you?" "We don't want to, if that's what you're thinking." "He and alison were lovers." "Who would want to frame you, tag?" "My brother." "Why would he want to do that?" "Alison and I were lovers." "I think you are psychic." "You're just afraid to admit it." "So..." "So..." "Why is it you can't sleep?" "Because I can't get the good pills without talking to a doctor." "And you don't like talking to doctors." "Meh, you know, they always wanna be the smartest person in the room, don't they?" "When in fact that's me, obviously." "You protect your core self very fiercely." "What do you think is the reason for that?" "You know, this is exactly how I imagined it would be." "You gonna ask me about my mother?" "Do you want me to ask you about your mother?" "I just wanna sleep." "So what is it that keeps you awake?" "What's his name?" "Red john?" "That's right." "Red john." "Uh, he's--he's killed at least eight women that we know of." "Uh, the police asked me to try and get a psychic fix on him," "To see if I could get a sense of who this man is." "Uh, how do you do that exactly, get a psychic fix on someone?" "Well, davis, true demonic evil burns like fire." "It--it burns with a terrible cold, dark flame." "I force myself to look into that flame, and I see an image of the evildoer" "In this case, red john." "He's an ugly, tormented little man." "A lonely soul." "Sad, very sad." ""dear mr." "Jane, I do not like to be slandered in the media," "Especially by a dirty money-grubbing fraud."" ""IF YOU ARE A REAL PSYCHIC INSTEAD OF A DISHONEST LITTLE WORM,"" ""YOU WOULDN'T NEED TO OPEN THE DOOR TO SEE WHAT I'VE DONE TO YOUR LOVELY WIFE AND CHILD."" "Mr. Jane?" "Mr. Jane?" "What is it that keeps you awake?" "You know, when I was a boy, we had a farm." "It's a lot of work." " I was kind of a lazy kid." " yes?" "I'd always be trying to get my little brother jimmy to do my chores for me." "One day, I promised him a dollar if he'd cut the firewood." "Well..." "He opened up an artery in his leg on the saw, and he bled to death..." "Died..." "Doing my chores for me." "You know..." "That's almost exactly the same thing that happened to johnny cash." "Is it really?" "That's spooky." " mr." "Randolph, good-- - cut the crap." "My brother's done nothing." "And you scumbags haven't got the stones to come after me, so you come after my family." " that is flat-out persecution." " price, what did we agree?" "Mr. Randolph, rest assured, there's no intent to persecute you." "We scumbags are holding your brother" "Because we have physical evidence linking him to the crime and potential motive in that" "He states that whenever you weren't around, he was banging your wife like a big bass drum." "Tag and alison?" "That's what he states, And he further states that it was you that killed alison," " and you're now trying to frame him in revenge." " what'd you say?" "Wh--bastard!" "You-  son of a bitch!" " you treated her like trash!" "What did you expect?" "I didn't expect my little brother to be banging my wife!" "You little punk bastard!" "Everything you've told me is total fiction, isn't it?" "Yes." "Why?" "I can tell you're in real pain." "Why not tell the truth?" "The truth is mine." " I hear ya." " thank you." "Yes." "Remember, uh, we were talking about tannen the other day," "And I asked you if he kept a diary, and you said he did?" " well, there's no diary among his effects." " no." "I'm sorry, no?" "No." "You have it wrong." "I-I didn't think he kept a diary." "Strange." "Then it must have been someone else who told me." "Either that or I'm going mad." "But I definitely, 100% remember hearing that tannen kept a diary." "Well, that is strange, but why does it matter if he kept a diary?" "You're right." "It doesn't matter." "Only I was thinking, why do magicians have beautiful girl assistants?" "Why?" "Because they're reliable distracters of attention." "People will look at a beautiful girl for a long time" "Before they look where they should be looking if they wanna see how the trick really works." "Anyhow, I'll send over a couple of forensics guys tomorrow to search his office and locate that diary." "Mm, didn't they already search his office?" "Oh, they never do it thoroughly the first time." "Once more for luck, eh?" "It's gotta be there somewhere." "Thanks for everything, doc." " good night." " good night." "Lost something?" "How did you get in?" "Door was open." "I think I left my phone in your office." "The door wasn't open." "Must have been." "Here I am." "What are you doing?" "I confess, the temptation to play detective was a little too strong." "I..." "I was looking for that diary." "I got a little carried away." "No kidding." "No diary?" "No diary." "Maybe I should have a gander." "I'm good at finding things." "Be my guest." "Eureka." "Dr. Wagner, thanks for your help." "Mr. Jane." "Uh, your phone." "Right." "Thanks." "Uh, yeah." "Got it." "Silly of me." " well, good-bye again. - wait." "Give me the diary." "It's very amusing." "I try." "I knew." "I knew it might be a trick, but I..." "I had to be sure." "Yes." "That's how the trick works." "What led you to me?" "Not that I'm saying I did it." "I'm just asking." "When we first met, you said you didn't know who red john was," "But you have books on criminal psychiatry--there" "That have chapters on him." "You're the randolph family doctor, so you could easily get a strand of tag's hair," "And, being a doctor, you could hack up another human without difficulty." "It's obvious it was you." "That's it?" "You have nothing." "That's just guesswork." "Oh, I know." "I just wanted to be sure I had the right answer." "I was surprised." "I gotta be honest." "You don't seem to be a wicked man." "But you are." "You're angry about the letter." "Yeah, it was a bit mean-spirited." "For the record, I'm sorry about your family." "I can only imagine your pain." "I'm not..." "A wicked man." "My conscience is clear." "Really?" "Right now in africa, there's 3,000 beautiful children alive today" "Who should be dead, but they aren't because of me." "Tannen was gonna ruin me and destroy all that work..." "Over nothing." "Money." "Theft, he called it." "Embezzlement." "Self-righteous idiot." "It's simple math." "If I go to jail, thousands of kids will die." "So I made a rational, moral decision to kill tannen..." "For the greater good." "And alison?" "What did she do wrong?" "As you said, she was the magician's assistant, just a distraction." "If only tannen died, the police would've been all over this place, wouldn't they?" "Truly, is killing two any worse than killing one, when so many lives are at stake?" "I don't think so." "You poor, sad man." "You're under arrest." " let's go." " I'm pointing a gun at you." "You really think I would set you up so nicely and let you pull a loaded gun on me?" "I took the bullets out earlier." " you're late!" " what?" "Draw your weapon!" "Drop the gun!" "Hands on your head." "Get down on your knees." "Down." "Closed case doughnuts are here." "I just went to get sleeping pills, I swear to god." "I-I didn't even wanna go." " you know I didn't want to go." " right." "Yeah, you didn't set wagner up..." "Didn't figure it was him days ago." "You didn't let us tear apart the victim's family simply to satisfy your childish need for drama." "Meh, that family was screwed anyway." "Don't blame yourselves, guys." "Don't even start." "I'm still angry." " I'm sorry." " no, you're not." "A frog?" "Well, this makes everything better, doesn't it?" "The Mentalist Season01 Episode01"
