Season 2, Episode 6: "In The Red"
Written by: Matt Negrete

An entrapment operation with Neal as a fence to catch a suspected jewel thief leads to an extortion scam involving international adoption. A lawyer buried in gambling debt demands money from his clients – parents who adopted foreign children – in the guise that the children’s birth mothers have changed their minds and want their children back.

Mozzie: How often do I say "thank you?"
Neal: Sarcastically?
Mozzie: No.
Neal: Rhetorically?
Mozzie: Genuinely.
Neal: I can’t recall. Why?
Mozzie: You’ve done a lot for me. I wanted to say "thank you".
Neal [suspiciously]: You’re welcome… there’s more…

Neal: Come on, Katherine MacMillan is not a jewel thief.
Peter: You mean no priors, she’s a PTA mom who volunteers her time at the youth center on the weekends?
Neal: Throw a mullet on her and she’s Carol Brady.
Peter: Carol Brady had an affair with Greg Brady.
Neal: Proof that everybody’s got a dark side.
Peter: Thing about the law, one size fits all.

[Neal, strapped to Sara’s portable polygraph]
Sara: All right, state your name?
Neal: Neal Caffrey.
Sara: What color are your eyes?
Neal: Blue.
Sara: Okay. Tell me a lie.
Neal: That color does not bring out the subtle glint of hazel in your eyes.

Neal: I took the polygraph.
Peter: You cheated. I don’t know how, but you cheated. You’re playing with fire. Sara is like a tornado in heels and you’re...
Neal: Oh please. Please don’t reduce me to a trailer park.
Peter: If the shoe fits.

Mozzie: So you just used a tack.
Neal: She surprised me. What else was I gonna do. It worked.
Mozzie: How’d she know someone broke in?
Neal [sarcastically]: Oh, I don’t know. A hundred failed attempts on her keypad?
Mozzie: That would do it.

Mozzie: So, what is this case?
Neal: I’m taking down a lawyer. He’s extorting money from the parents using their adopted kids as leverage.
Mozzie: Adopted kids? What kind of a cretin preys on helpless, adopted kids? All they want is a fair shake and a chance to belong?
Neal: I know, you were adopted.
Mozzie: Foster care. I was never adopted. How are you going to take down this pig?
Neal: Poker game.
Mozzie: You better win.
Neal: That’s the game plan.
Mozzie: You better make sure you win.
Neal: Again. That’s the game plan.
Mozzie: What’s his tell?
Neal: I will figure out his tell.
Mozzie: You do that. Then crush him.

Neal: I need some way to find out Donovan’s tell so I know when he’s bluffing a hand.
Peter: You don’t think you can beat him?
Neal: It hurt me that you would even ask that.

Peter: You cheated, right?
Neal: Peter, you insult me.
Peter: There’s no way you would’ve left it to chance.
Neal: True gambler never reveals his strategies.

Elizabeth: The client’s so excited; she wants to take me to dinner to celebrate.
Peter: Nice one of us has something to celebrate about and yes, it’s about Neal. He is neck-deep in a dangerous game of cat and mouse.
Elizabeth: Really. With who?
Peter: Sara Ellis. Our insurance investigator. She’s investigating him, and… he’s enjoying it.
Elizabeth: All that pent up animosity and fighting? It leads to sparks.
Peter: We don’t have pent up animosity… we never fight.
Elizabeth: And that’s a good thing.
Peter: What about the sparks?
Elizabeth: Honey, we are so not lacking in the Sparks Deparment. When I get home, I’m gonna prove it to you.
Peter: I’m gonna hold you to that.
