Season 2, Episode 7: "Prisoner's Dilemma"
Written by: Mark Goffman


Neal and Peter help a fugitive FBI agent clear his name – and this brings them head on with a dirty U.S. Marshal and corrupt defense attorney.


Neal: Any idea why we’re being called in at 8 A.M. on a Saturday?
Peter: Crime doesn’t take the weekend off. Did you have plans?
Neal: Oh, I was hoping to go to the "White Bored" exhibit at the Powell.
Peter: Whiteboard.
Neal: No, no, no. White Bored. Spelled “B-O-R-E-D”. It’s conceptual. The artist has taken a mundane office item and turned it into a canvass commentary on modern business.
Peter: Does he use paint?
Neal: Markers.
Peter: I already have one in my office.

Peter: Bancroft’s here.
Neal: Your boss’ boss.
Peter: This can’t be good.
Neal: Do all the higher-ups do the double-finger point?
Peter: They teach it at Quantico.

Neal: This is the first time I’ve been on this side of a manhunt.

Neal: Franklin was a good agent.
Peter: Was. Top in his class, 12 years of service.
Neal: FBI Medal of Valor? That can’t be easy to come by.
Peter: Hmm.
Neal: What happened?
Peter: He had an inappropriate relationship with his CI.
Neal: Really?
Peter: Yes.
Neal: How inappropriate?
Peter: Do you want me to draw you a diagram?

[Neal poses as Nick Holden, car sales agent]
Neal: You've been here before.
Man: Yeah. A few times.
Neal: What's your name?
Man: Dan.
Neal: Anyone ever offered you a test drive?
Dan: No. Nobody ever said “Hello”.
Neal: People judge. I wish it weren't so, but people judge – by your cotton-poly blend, pleated khaki slacks, by your cellphone holster – but Dan, you can wear whatever you want if you drive a Gallardo.
Dan: Yeah?
Neal: But that's not why you drive one. You drive one because this car is… a transcendent experience. Hello, Dan. I'm Nick Holden. You ready for a test drive?
Dan: Yeah!
Neal: I'll get the keys.

Neal: Luckily, the cars come equipped with a GPS tracking device.
Peter: Oh, just like you.
Neal: Just like me.

Neal: Hey, Moz. Sorry I'm late.
Mozzie: So, they conscripted your Saturdays. Go, FBI.

Mozzie: …but the “reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once”.
Neal: It's been a while since you quoted Einstein. Means you're in a groove.
Mozzie: Well, "great spirits have often encountered violent opposition from weaker minds."

Neal: I'm telling you, Jones, you cannot miss this. It's mostly office motifs, all right? Imagine Shepard Fairey meets Dilbert.
Jones: That means nothing to me.

Mozzie: I knew this day would come. The hunter has become the hunted. This way, gentlemen.

Peter: Where are we going?
Mozzie: Somewhere no Suit has ever gone… nor shall ever go again.

Peter: You're a Buddhist?
Mozzie: I don't subscribe to labels.

Mozzie: Don't think this is my only safe house. One of many. I call it Tuesday.
Peter: Why?
Mozzie: Because I'm usually here on Wednesdays.

Mozzie: He sold out a friend of mine who was arrested with one of his clients. I knew he was trouble. You can never trust anyone who spells his name with dollar signs on his license plates.

Peter: Mozzie, how would you like to participate in a government-sanctioned con?
Mozzie: Involving a dirty marshal, Stan, and one of his prized Lamborghinis? How ‘bout yes?

Mozzie: Have you ever heard of a "prisoner's dilemma"?
Elizabeth: Yeah, it's the idea of separating two suspects and getting them to turn on each other, right?
