Z: Zoe Landau

T: Hi


L: This is the assistant...

Z: Assistant U.S. Attorney




...

He always did like them so young.


L and T: Excuse me?!




Z: His proteges, they are usually young.


It's easier for him to mold in his image.

L: Is there a reason you're here?

Z: I have a case, i need your help.

L: You wonna hire me?

Z: What? I don't want to remarry you.






Why, do you have a problem working for your ex-wife?

No, I was testing Torres

Lo: Why didn't you say anything?
L: 'Cause I decided to run a test.
Lo: What kind of test?.. The lawsuit, that was a test. You lied to everyone in the office so you could treat me like a lab rat?
L: No. No, I was testing Torres.
Lo: Why?
L: Like I told, I could tell she knew what you'd done. I mean, there's no surprise there, but we have a lot of secrets here. So I wanted to see, if she could keep one under pressure.
Lo: Are you gonna fire her for not turning me in?
L: No, I'd have fired her, if she had. Loyalty's crucial here. But you, on the other hand... What you did is inexcusable. And involving her is selfish, disrespectful, and it's plain stupid.

Who's the girl?

J to L: Who's the girl?
...
L: You're a distraction.
T: I had to ask Loker a question and you've got me reading all his fan mail.
L: So what, you're above that now, is that it?
T: No, no. It's just that you squaring off with a master liar is kind of once in a lifetime.
L: Oh, and you think you'll learn something? A woman gets raped, she gets blinded, but at least you've been afforded an education, is that it?!
T: Or maybe yu just don't want me to see that you're struggling.
L: Oh, that's an interesting theory, but incorrect. And that fan mail you're so disdainful of... well, the guy we're looking for is in there somewhere. And that's a fact, that's not a theory. So go find him.
T: Uh.
...
J to L :Mm. "Or maybe you just don't want me to see that you're struggling". Hm, she's very perceptive, your little... protege.

He did screw up

T to Lo: There. Look at how he's folding the laundry - Jenkins comes up, he slows down. He's concentrating too hard, it's a dead giveaway. He did screw up.
L to T: Couple of months ago, you wouldn't have noticed that. But now that you apperentlly know everything you think, it's more important to prove that i screwed up that find a missing woman, is that it?
T: No, I wasn't trying...
Lo: We, we were just trying to establish a baseline for Jenkins.

Lightman's little protege

T: Andrew Jenkins, I'm Ria Torres.
J: Lightman's little protege. Has he given up on the game already?..

19

Copycat

L to J: And I suppose your protege wouldn't act out like that, right?
T: He's comparing me to the copycat.

20

mentor-protege relationship

L: When I first met Torres, she was screening carry-ons at the airport for 12 bucks an hour. And now barely for months later she's breaking up with me.
J: Maybe she likes me better.
L: No. I'm not talking about romance here. This is the third phase of the mentor-protege relationship - separetion. Phase one - initiation, establishing shared interests.
J: Like falling in love.
L: Phase two's even better - mutual growth, high productivity. Could go for years. And then one day the protege surpasses the mentor.

21

scary good

Lo: Yeah, he set up a false power dynamic - build Jenkins' confidence, lower his defenses.
T: Lightman played me too. He pushed me to disobey him, 'cause he knew it would trigger Jenkins.
F: The long con. One of Lihgtman's favorite moves.
T: You knew?
F: No idea.
T: He is scary good.

22

How long till we break up for real?

L: Go home.
T: You used me.
L: You made it easy.
T: How did you know, how to get to Jenkins?
L: In prison, the first time i asked him about the copycat, he showed pride. Also just the faintest hint of anger. so i knew he resented his protege.
T: Right, the kind of thing only you would notice.
L: Yeah, but I'm trying to teach you, love.
T: You let me think that Camille was dead.
L: Yeah, yeah i did. Could't afford anyone knowing any part of this con - Jenkins would have read it.
T: Reynolds knew.
L: Only about the photograph.


Are you jealous?



Really?





T: How long till we break up for real?



L: Eons.You've got lots to learn.
