Northern Napa County CA

Boy, am i glad to see you guys.

We are sorely ill-prepared
for this kind of deal.

Quail hunter's dog found
her this morning at 5:30.

Wasn't meant to be
huntin' quail, but he was.

Do we know who she is?

Nope. Looks familiar,
though, so i'm guessing local.

People sure look different when
they're dead, though, don't they?

That wound doesn't look fatal.

There's no ligature marks on the
neck, so she wasn't strangled or hung.

Gums are livid.

Eyes are hemorrhaged.

Suffocation.

My bet is it's a meth head from the
city comin' in off the interstate.

No, he's a local.

And it was an accident.

Her killer didn't intend
her to die this way.

How so?

She still has her clothes on.

Her abductor was taking her to a
location that was quiet and private

So he could undress her
for a sexual assault.

She made too much noise
at the wrong moment.

He tried to keep her quiet
and smothered her by mistake.

No good to him now, so then he dumps
her in a spot only a local would know.

She's all yours. Thanks for waiting.

Why sexual motive?
Could be gangs or drugs.

A drug trade smothering?

By who--"sesame
street" crips?

There's nothing to say it
isn't just boyfriend trouble.

Could be boyfriend trouble.

Doesn't feel like it, though.

Who is this guy?

He's a consultant.

You want cbi assistance?

He comes as part of the package.

Consultant, huh?

What, are you clairvoyant or some
gizmo? You got psychic powers?

No, no powers. Had 'em once.

I mean, i pretended
i had 'em, obviously.

No such thing as psychic powers.

So what is it you do, exactly?

You know rock paper scissors?

I do.

Play me. On three.

One... Two... Three.

One, two, three.

One, two, three.

One, two, three.

One, two, three.

One, two, three!

The Mentalist S01E02
Red Hair and Silver Tape

Go inside the house.
Go do your homework.

Get your homework started. Go. Go now.

Joe?

Mr. And mrs. O'keefe?

I'm agent teresa lisbon,
california bureau of investigation.

I'm sorry. We're bringing bad news.

- We found your daughter melanie.
- No.

Oh, no!

Who are you?

My name's patrick jane.
I'm with the police.

Is this your sister's room?

Yes.

Did someone kill my sister?

Yes.

Okay.

She didn't come home from
work the night before last.

She waitresses at the shand
creek winery restaurant.

She was on until 11:00.

Her car is still parked
there in the parking lot.

We're always asleep when she comes home.

We didn't even know she was
missing until the morning.

We called all her friends,
and nobody knew where she was.

Nobody'd seen her after
she left work that night.

She was all set to go
to college in the fall.

She won a softball
scholarship at, um, u.c.l.a.

We were worried about her going down to los
angeles, because you read about all the crime.

Did they do anything to her?

Doesn't appear so.

She was fully clothed.

Why would anybody do
something like that?

Oftentimes, the first name that pops into
the mother's head is the guilty party.

Jealous boyfriends, anything like that?

No, nothing like that.

Nothing?

She was always shy of boys.

She was a good girl.

She took the purity
pledge in ninth grade,

and she still wears that ring today.

When did she take the posters down?

After christmas.

Who was on the posters?

Boys with long hair from the tv.

She didn't like 'em anymore?

Said they were for little girls.

Do you know who killed her?

No.

Are you gonna find out who killed her?

Me and my colleagues are gonna try.

How?

Looking, listening, asking questions.

When you find him, will you tell me?

Sure. Why?

No reason.

CBI HQ Sacramento

- Rigsby.
- Van pelt.

Hey, did you get the fax from
the sheriff's department there?

Yes.

Run the details through the crime
database, see if we get any matches.

- Okay, van pelt?
- Will do.

Boss, i finished the budget
reports here like you said.

Why don't i drive down
there, give you guys a hand?

No, you stay there.

Look, pp i'll call you if i need you.

She has a lover--someone she
met around christmas at a fair.

He's either too old, too closely related
or too villainous to tell her folks about.

I'd bet on villainy, and his
first name starts with an "h."

explains why she wasn't
wearing a purity ring.

You know, it is the damndest thing.

I was at the shand creek that night on a call
'round about the same time that girl was taken.

A drunk wouldn't pay his check.

That is the damndest thing.

You notice anything
that might be useful?

Oh, for cryin' out loud.

Yeah, when i got there, i
saw a black truck, full-size,

Taking off out of the other end
of that lot goin' way too fast...

He's inside.

Nearly went after him, too, you know?

What time was that?

Uh, a quarter to 12:00.

Have these woods been checked?

Not to speak of.

You might want to put a
few man-hours into that.

That, uh, that's her car right there.

You want to take it?

She worked for us for...

Three summers in a row.

Lovely girl.

This is good.

Yes, it is.

It's unbelievable. And from the parking
lot. I was practically right there.

I can't even think about it.

Try this.

- No, i won't.
- This one's really good.

To your knowledge, did melanie ever have any
incidents with disgruntled coworkers, maybe...

- Boyfriend problems?
- No.

Mmm, this one is really good. Cardamom?

Yes, and caraway.

Mmm, and a lot of butter.

No, there's no shame
in it. A lot of butter.

That's the great thing about food.

It's indulgence and
necessity all in one.

What time did melanie
leave work that night?

To build a time line,
we need to know exactly.

Well, i know she took off first, but i'd
have to check her time card to be exact.

Hey, it wasn't me, by the way.

I have a staff of 20 that'll tell you
the only time i ever leave the kitchen

Is to take a leak or yell at a customer.

Sad but true.

So this is the, uh, the kitchen.

This is the main prep area, and
this is where the magic happens.

Attention, randall! Pay it!

My office is this way.

This is a go.

She was by no means a gifted server.

Betty butterfingers, that's what we
called her, but she had a good spirit.

She left at 11:25.

Good night.

She went out that door, and
that's the last we saw of her.

It's all reservations, i assume?

- Credit cards?
- Yes. I can get you a full list.

Great.

Oh, raquel, come in.

These people are here to help find
out what happened to poor melanie.

Okay. Good.

You and she were good
friends, weren't you?

Not really. She was okay.

'Cause on her wall at home, she has
a picture of you and her together.

That's weird, huh?

I don't know why she has a
picture of me and her, ma'am.

Maybe she has a secret crush on me.

I don't know.

What's her boyfriend's name?

She doesn't have a boyfriend.
That's her thing, right?

Purity. No boys.

So who was it that she
cut out of the picture?

I don't know, sir.

You were there.

It was christmas. I was high.

Raquel, this is a murder investigation.

If you protect someone who
did this, you'll do time.

I'm sorry, ma'am. I can't help you.

I would if i could. Swear to god.

Thank you.

Car's clean.

Have a chat with raquel, why don't you?

- I'm gonna go check the credit card receipts.
- Okay.

Give me a minute with her.
She's got a super low threshold.

No. Nope.

Just stand in the doorway, pretend
you're making a phone call for a moment.

No. It's illegal and
it's unprofessional.

That's why i need you
to stand in the doorway.

One minute.

Raquel, look at me.

Before you fall asleep tonight, while
you're lying in your bed relaxing

And slowly drifting off into
sleep, i want you to think of me.

Think of me and imagine
that you can fly.

Imagine that you're weightless.

You can float gently into the air if
you want to, safe and calm and serene.

You can fly away and leave all your
burdens and worries and fears behind you.

Imagine that-- what
a nice feeling it is.

Next time you see me, when i say hello,
you'll remember that good feeling,

And you'll want to tell me the truth,
because when you do tell the truth,

You'll feel that a heavy weight
has been lifted from your shoulders.

I'll say hello, and you will
feel as light as a feather,

As if you were floating on air.

Why don't you sit here a moment, think
about that before you go back to work?

Whatever.

Your friend's crazy. Can i go now?

Yes.

Worked on the chicken.

Right.

Maybe that's a clue.

Sorry?

- Take it to the lab. - Whoa,
whoa, wait. I-i got a better idea.

Um, settle down now,
everyone. Settle down.

These are agents of the
california bureau of investigation.

They want to talk to you a moment.

There's nothing to worry about.

We need your help.

- Will you help us?
- Yes.

We know the identity
of melanie's killer.

The murderer of that
poor girl is in this room.

This note...

Was found in melanie's locker.

We have strong reason to believe that
whoever wrote this note is the killer.

Yes, unluckily for that person,

my colleague, agent cho here, is
the bureau's chief graphologist.

Each one of you will be giving us a sample
of your handwriting, left and right-handed.

Cho will examine these samples and
determine which of you left this note.

Which of you is the killer?

Randall?

Back it up. Don't crowd him.

Voila .

Let him breathe.

Napa County Sheriff's Dept

randall, why did you want
to say "sorry" to melanie?

I didn't kill her.

I didn't say that you did.

I asked why you wanted
to say "sorry" to her.

Your time card and your boss say you
left work ten minutes before melanie.

You waited for her in the
parking lot, right? Right?

There's no law against waiting
for someone. You waited for her.

I just wanted to speak to her.

Nothing wrong with that.

You wanted to speak to
her. Then what happened?

I was like, "hey, melanie, what's up?"

and we talked. She didn't leave.

She--she was smiling and laughing,
so i figured i was doing pretty good.

So i made my move, and, um, she
wasn't so into it, which was cool,

Only i know she has this
whole virgin thing happening.

So i figured that i
just have to be more...

Goal-oriented.

She was pretty upset,

- so i apologized for any misunderstanding,
- Bitch!

and i left.

I got in my car, and i
drove off, and that was it.

Only i felt like maybe she would
still be mad at me and, like, complain.

So when i got in to work this morning,
before i knew that she was missing,

i wrote "sorry," and
i put it in her locker.

How long were you in
the parking lot with her?

Try and be precise.

Five minutes. Six.

Randall tried to kiss melanie because he thought
it was on his account that she didn't leave.

- But in fact, she didn't leave because of randall.
- She was meeting somebody else.

Are we gonna see raquel again?

She's on her way in now.

I did the database search.
I'm e-mailing the results.

I'm gonna put you on speaker.

It's not much.

One pop for the brand of silver tape used two
months ago in fairfield--an abduction case.

What happened?

Delores sanchez, a female, 22, migrant
farm laborer abducted at a bus stop.

She doesn't know how.

She wakes up on a bed in a motel room
all tied up in duct tape, unharmed.

The cleaners found her. Never
saw her abductors. No suspects.

Fairfield p.d.concluded
it was a drunken prank.

The complainant sanchez left town,
so the case kind of drifted away.

This is very interesting.

Let's knock off on tangents already.

Any other correlations?

Uh, yes, actually. Sanchez
is a redhead like o'keefe.

Cool down.

It's a common brand of tape, and there's a
quarter million redheaded women in california.

- Yeah, yeah, you're right.
- Yeah.

Just supposing, for fun, that it
was the same guy did both crimes.

He kidnaps a redheaded girl, ties
her up, takes her to a motel room,

Has her at his mercy but does nothing.

Months later, kidnaps another redheaded
girl, but his planning is not good enough,

And he kills her in a
panic to keep her quiet.

What does that say?

He's an idiot?

He's new to this, and he's conflicted.

He's hungry to do terrible things, but his
conscience and his fear tell him not to.

So he's not yet going into this with the
proper focus and planning, and stuff goes wrong.

Or you're making that up, and melanie
was murdered by her secret lover

We can be fairly certain she was meeting
at the exact time of her abduction.

Excuse me. I'm still here.
What would you like me to do?

Call all the motels within
10 miles of shand creek.

Find one that had a cash booking who
didn't show on the night of the murder.

No, let's work the solid leads first.

Cross-check all the full-size black trucks
with known criminals in the napa area.

Yes, ma'am.

Look, if the boyfriend angle doesn't work,
we'll look at your trainee psychopath,

- okay?
- Okay.

I don't know anything,
so i can't tell anything!

I told them that.

I told you i don't know anything.

Has a seat, miss garcia.

Thanks.

Hello, raquel.

Melanie had a thing with hector romerez.

He's my second cousin.

I was with him at the fair one time, and we
ran into melanie, and then they were like bam--

Romeo and juliet.

She was meeting him that night.

The night she died.

Yes.

And i didn't tell you
because i'm afraid of him.

The eight ball locos?

He runs all the drugs in vacaville.

And he's had people killed for way less than
just snitchin' on him like this, for real.

That was funny, the way she
gave him up so easily like that.

Yeah, it was.

But you were right, huh? Secret lover.

Guess i was wrong about the whole
red hair and duct tape thing.

You hypnotized her, didn't you?

I certainly did not.

Okay. No.

Yes, i did
hypnotize her, but--

but nothing.It's
unprofessional, and it's illegal.

- It's totally out-of-bounds.
- That's what i told him.

I was gonna say you had nothing
to do with it, but hey...

You allow him to pull that stuff again,

and you'll be showing visitors
around the statehouse in a stupid hat.

Yes, ma'am. Understood.

Rigsby, i got a hot
warrant in vacaville.

You can get there in an hour, can't ya?

Yes, boss. I'll get rolling.

- Bring van pelt. - Yes,
bo--for a hot warrant?

Why are you still on the line?

Hey, come on. Let's go.

Well, they do have six flavors, sweetie.

Sheriff's department! We
have a warrant! Open up!

Don't move!

He's out! He's out!

Put your right hand behind your back.

- Stop resisting. Give me your hand!
- Don't move! Don't move!

Boom. Out of nowhere. Guy
didn't know what hit him.

So what were you planning to
do if lisbon hadn't stopped him?

Oh, i-i didn't bother
to formulate a plan.

I-i knew she'd stop him.

Cho, jane, let's move.

You two fill out the paperwork with the staties,
then go back to sacramento, hold the fort.

Yes, boss.

Hector, we're investigating
the murder of melanie o'keefe.

Do you know who she was?

She was suffocated and then stabbed to death and
dumped on the side of the road three nights ago.

We know you and melanie were lovers.

We know you were planning
to meet her that night,

and we can put your truck in
the shand creek parking lot.

I've got enough to
charge you with, hector.

W-we just want to know
your side of the story.

How'd you two meet?

Oprah and dr. Phil here.

I told her this is how
it was going to end,

Only it was going to be me that died

and her sitting here with dumb
cops asking dumb questions.

Why was a respectable girl like you
with a thug like Hector Romerez !

Why was she?

You wouldn't understand.

Sure she would.

All women understand the
charm of a violent man.

What we had was special.

You made her feel like a captured princess
instead of a small town choir nerd.

And she made you feel like a dashing
pirate instead of what you are--

Sort of a bad-tempered pharmacist.

Funny man.

Ese, those pirates back then, they were
just bangin' like anybody else today.

A pirate is exactly what i
am, and she was a princess.

She was.

What happened that night?

We were supposed to meet
at 11:30 at the restaurant.

I got there ten minutes late,
and she hadn't come out yet.

I waited for a few minutes, and i left.

I'm impatient. I was angry.

I will always hate myself for that.

I left her to be killed
because i don't wait for nobody.

That's a noble admission, hector.

How did you feel about the fact she
was going to college in the fall?

I was proud...

And happy for her.

She was leaving you behind.

I wanted her to leave me behind.

I wanted her far away.

I told her, "go to l. A. And
don't come back for nothing."

he's telling the truth.

And now you're just trying to be
contrary. Have you read his sheet?

Did you hear what he said?

He's a good actor.

It was you who thought it
was him in the first place.

I said melanie had a secret lover.

I didn't say he killed her.

If it wasn't him, then who was it?

And if you say a man who likes red
hair and silver duct tape, i'll scream.

I don't want you to scream.

Look, you have your
reasons. I understand.

But you're seeing more
than what's actually there.

You have a tendency to do that.

Not every murder is a secret inside
of a secret inside of a secret.

There's not always a hidden pattern.

Not always, but sometimes there is.

Sometimes the obvious guy did it.

Most of the time, the
obvious guy did it.

Look at the time line.

Hector's admitted he was in the parking
lot for ten minutes, give or take.

There wasn't enough time for anybody
else to have entered the parking lot,

Abducted melanie and driven away.

It was hector.

You're right. There's no time.

Hey, frankie.

So, uh, show me.

Show you what?

Your gun.

I don't have a gun.

No?

Hello?

Hey, van pelt.

Uh, lisbon changed her mind.

She wants you to check out
those motels like i said.

The motels?

Looking for one with a no-show
cash booking that night.

Cover all the bases, she says.

She's right here if you
want a word with her.

Uh, that's okay,
but listen, i--

call me first if you get anything.

No gun, huh?

What were you gonna kill
hector with, a knife?

That should work. Just, uh...

Put it away.

What if it turns out that hector
isn't the man who killed your sister?

Isn't he?

We don't know that yet.

But you don't have to worry about
that. That's for us to work out.

You need to be here for your family
and leave the vengeance part to us.

When you find who did it
for sure, will you kill him?

No. I won't kill him, but
i'll make him very sorry.

I have a daughter who'd be about your
age if i hadn't caused her death...

Her and her mother.

How?

Out of arrogance... Stupidity.

I made an evil man very angry, and
he killed them to teach me a lesson,

To make me sorry for what i'd done.

And i am sorry.

Being sorry is a far worse punishment
than being dead. Everybody dies.

Very few people ever feel truly
sorry for the bad things they've done.

It hurts.

Van pelt, what do you got?

Microwave, spa tub and
premium cable in every unit.

Special rates for state
and federal employees.

What did he look
like-- this man?

Big, with a hat and sunglasses...

And a thick beard, like a sikh.

An absurd disguise, in other words?

Ridiculous.

I run a motel. I don't care who you are.

He bought a good beard for nothing.

Then that night he doesn't show, so i
remembered him when your nice young lady called.

Uh, no disrespect, but, uh,
your maid isn't very thorough.

No, she is most thorough.

She cleans here tomorrow.

- For monthly rentals,
she-- - monthly?

Yes. She comes every third day.

So he's been here recently,
in the last two days.

The chips would imply this, yes?

Yes, they--they
would.

This?

Oh, th-those are not ours.

He's coming back.

Okay. Thank you. Nice work.

Listen, i don't want to make you mad,
but i found something really interesting,

And i want you to take a look at it.

You can't make me mad.
Go ahead. What'd you find?

You first. Who made you so happy?

Forensics. There's substantial traces of
melanie's blood on the seat of hector's truck.

- So... Happy day.
- Yeah.

Now i'm gonna go and see what
hector has to say about it.

What'd you find?

Uh, it--it
can wait.

Blood? Yes.

Last time i saw her, two weeks ago, she
was disrespectful, so i had to tune her up.

She got a bloody nose.

Was physical abuse a normal occurrence in your
relationship, or is this more of a recent thing?

She chose me.

She wanted to know where the edges are.

I showed her.

Go ahead. Say it.

I think he's telling the truth.

And i disagree. I'm charging him.

No. Yes. Good. That's good. Go ahead.

You got more than enough evidence.

Oops, nearly forgot.

Okay, tell me. What'd you find?

Telling you won't do.
I have to show you.

Uh, i made a booking for
two for this afternoon.

Could you put us on the terrace?

It's more romantic.

Thanks. Yeah. Patrick.
Lovely. See you then.

Don't fret. I wouldn't
seduce you over a meal.

That would be very sophomoric.

I didn't think you were
trying to seduce me.

Come on. How could that thought
not have entered your head?

Your denial that it did intrigues me.

Bite me.

What is this?

That's van pelt?

What is she doing?

Thiss a live feed from
the shand creek restaurant,

And this is how we're gonna
catch melanie's killer.

- Say again.
- Nothing.

Oh, i see you.

- How do i look?
- Good. You look good.

I meant, can you see the wire?

Nope. Nope.

The killer plans to bring
his victim back to this room.

And when he does, we're
gonna be here to greet him.

How sweet is that?

This is all a big elaborate joke
you're gonna apologize for now. Yes?

Whoever killed melanie had to be
there that night at shand creek.

Your time line proves it.

There's no way anyone
else could've done it.

One of the 20 people there
that night killed melanie.

All 20 of those people are there
now today, including the killer.

And he's gonna try it
again today? Come on.

No, no. Yes, yes, that's just the point.

Yes, he is gonna try again.

He's planning on it.

And he's gonna try again today
because we're gonna make him try again

Because he's not in
control of his desires.

He's been thinking of nothing else
but this perverse craving of his.

He's gotten so close.

He's desperate to go all the way.

All we need to do is present him
with something he can't resist,

Something that he will jump
at, and damn the consequences.

Give it a try.

If i'm wrong, there's no harm down.

It's fusion.

Confusion.

Up to me, make it a
cheeseburger every time.

Oh, me, too. With onion rings.

- Let's do it.
- Not yet.

Why not?

This is actually quite good.

You're meant to shout at me and leave.

Now you've gone too far!

I hate you!

- Smooth work.
- Don't.

Can i call you a cab?

No, thank you. I need a walk.

I have a number for a cab if i need one.

Thank you for a delicious meal.

Oh, you're so welcome.

I just left the restaurant.

I'm heading towards the main road now.

Sorry, miss. I didn't see
you there. I was just, uh...

You okay?

Oh, sure. Absolutely.
Just scared me a little.

He w--he wasn't su-- what
the hell is he doing there?

He was there.

He was there that night.

Going for a stroll?

Fresh air.

Only you need to be careful.

We've been looking for a
murderer loose around here.

Yeah, went after a girl just
like you--red hair and all.

No kidding.

Yeah. I'll, uh, drive
you up to the main road.

Oh, thank you, but...

No, no trouble, really. My
car's just over here on the side.

Please advise.

- Keep it rolling.
- Beg your pardon?

I'm not used to wearing these shoes.

Hey, you, uh, are you out here alone?

I had an argument with my date.

Oh, sorry to hear that.You
know, if you were my date,

i wouldn't, uh, i wouldn't
argue, pretty lady like yourself.

My car's just right over here.

It--it's okay.
I'll walk.

Wait, no. I won't let you.

Re--really,
ma'am.

Really, i-i don't feel
comfortable letting you go.

Really, i'm fine.

I think you're intoxicated.

- I am not.
- Get your hands off her!

What the hell's the matter
with you? You're under arrest!

- No, you're under arrest, you
piece of-- - rigsby, calm down.

Cho? Is this clown one of yours?

What the hell is going on here?

Sheriff, everything okay?

Well, yeah, now it is...

Suppose so. Barely.

Everything's funny.

Well, if you try. I mean,
come on. It's pretty funny.

Strange, though.

I-i was sure the chef would bite.

I mean, there's still a
chance he could show up.

The
chef--malcolm?

Why do you think it's him?

- He uses way too much butter.
- Say?

He's a gluttonous baby.
He's self-indulgent.

He wants what he wants and he takes it.

- Too much butter.
- Yeah.

It's fascinating the
way your mind works.

One thing, though--malcolm was in the
kitchen with 20 people when melanie was taken.

- He couldn't have done it. - Hang
on.There--there's a way he could--

forgive me if i can't stay
for more of your theorizing,

But i've gotta go and see if i can save your colleagues
from getting formal complaints in their files.

Yeah, i'll be right there.

No, i know where it is.

Okay. Rightere.

That's good. You're good. You're good.

Oh, it's okay. It's okay. Good? Good.

Quiet! Quiet!

Okay. Okay, help me put this on the bed.

Okay.

Stop. Think. Do not move.

- Whatever you do, do not move.
- What?

Do not move!

Malcolm.

Stop! Come back here! Stop!

What are you doing here?

Think. Think.

What are you doing here?

Does it matter? I'm here.

This place is surrounded
by police and cbi agents.

- Oh, no.
- He's lying.

They would be up here arresting
us by now if they were here.

S.w.a.t. They're waiting on
s.w.a.t. There's no way out of this.

Nobody.

- Let's just kill them and get out of here.
- Yeah.

Whoa, whoa, listen to me.

You can walk away from all of this.

No disrespect, but you're
both clinically insane.

You're not gonna go to prison.

You'll go to a hospital for a couple
of years, and you can walk away.

Shut up! Just shut up!

I'm--i'm
trying to think.

Oh, now he's trying to think!

Don't pretend you didn't want this.
You wanted it just as much as me!

Yeah, but i told you we
didn't have enough time.

- I told you that we didn't-- don't you point that at
me! - I swear to god, woman, one more word out of you!

Police

- Put the gun down!
- No!

Okay. All right. It's okay.

You're gonna be fine, all right?

Here, come on. Okay?

We're gonna get you out of here.

I don't get it.

She actually enjoyed helping him kill.

One crazy evil person, i understand.
But two? Husband and wife?

Marriage is supposed to
be a sacred, loving thing.

They were soul mates in
their own strange way.

Let's go.
