Quotes 

• James Panzer : Red John was an accomplished killer, no doubt. And I applaud you for ridding us of him. But there's no comparison to the San Joaquin Killer. Red John was a common sociopath: lazy, sloppy, delusional.

  Patrick Jane : You really have no idea what you're saying.

  James Panzer : Red John is dead! And the fact that he allowed himself to be caught and killed by you proves my point. Compared to SJK, Red John was nothing. An amateur already forgotten.

• FBI Agent Susan Darcy : What sort of evidence do you have on Panzer?

  Teresa Lisbon : Well, nothing.

  Patrick Jane : Well nothing concrete. Not your kind of evidence.

  FBI Agent Susan Darcy : How about your kind of evidence?

  Patrick Jane : His medicine cabinet is too neat.

• Patrick Jane : Someone took their time... Yeah, you're right.

  Teresa Lisbon : I didn't say anything.

  Patrick Jane : No, but you were thinking something. You were thinking whoever did this has killed before - many times.

  Teresa Lisbon : Yes, but I can't assume that.

  Patrick Jane : Trust your instincts, Lisbon.

• James Panzer : Oh uh, congratulations by the way.

  Patrick Jane : Thank you. For what?

  James Panzer : You killed Red John.

  Patrick Jane : Oh right. Yes.

  James Panzer : What was it like?

  Patrick Jane : Yeah, uh, not as satisfying as you might think.

• Patrick Jane : You're just going through the motions.

  Teresa Lisbon : Yeah, it's called police work.

  Patrick Jane : Well, why not try a fresh approach?

  Teresa Lisbon : Like what, tarot cards?

• Patrick Jane : Oh, come on. You've been a cop for a long time. What you don't know is how much you know without knowing it. Take a guess and run with it.

• Patrick Jane : So James, what's your deal? You've devoted your life to the capture of a serial killer. That's either very saintly or very weird.

  James Panzer : That's a very odd notion coming from you. I know about you, Mr. Jane.

• Patrick Jane : You said he's a purist. A man who kills simply for the pleasure of it. I'm starting to think he's a deeply damaged man who kills our of a need for attention - neglected as a child, I guess. What do you think, Jim?

  James Panzer : Well, I think you couldn't be more wrong. Look, I know the San Joaquin Killer better than anyone, as you yourself have said. I've spent over a year inhabiting his mind. This man is brilliant. He's a genius who runs circles around the police... He's killed at will without repercussions. This man is to be feared - not pitied.

• Teresa Lisbon : Panzer knows everything about this case. We've got no forensic evidence and no eyewitnesses. How do you propose we catch him?

  Patrick Jane : We take away what he wants most.

• Teresa Lisbon : You heard Wainright. Our hands our tied.

  Patrick Jane : Yeah... Maybe *yours* are.

• James Panzer : I know what you're doing. You think I'm stupid.

  Patrick Jane : Yes.

  James Panzer : You're not going to ruin this for me.
