Investigative Committee Chair:
Neal Caffrey is a felon. Will you explain the deal you had with him?

Peter Burke:
He was serving the remainder of a four-year sentence under my supervision.

Investigative Committee Chair:
He was wearing an electronic monitoring anklet with... a two *mile* range?

Peter Burke:
Yes.

Investigative Committee Chair:
But he wasn't wearing it at the time the plane exploded?

Peter Burke:
No.

Investigative Committee Chair:
Do you believe that Mr. Caffrey was attempting to flee the country?

Investigative Committee Chair:
Do you believe Mr. Caffrey wanted to kill Kate Moreau?

Peter Burke:

Investigative Committee Chair:

Peter Burke:
[scoffs] Neal was a felon. He was convicted of bond forgery. And as you can see in those files, he was suspected of doing a hell of a lot of other things. Yeah, Neal was a pain in the ass. So did somebody from that past want him dead? Maybe. But he also helped me clear a 93% conviction rate. And that makes enemies, too.
