The Mentalist, Season 5

Jane:
How did it go with Volker?

Lisbon:
He gave us his DNA just like you said he would. He's behind us Jane, I know it.

Jane:
But?

Lisbon:
When the Grand Jury investigation was dropped Volker's lawyer had all the evidence in court document sealed from the case, including Jones' deposition. I think there's something in there that Volker doesn't want us to know, I just can't get my hands on it.

Jane:
Well why can't you?

Lisbon:
They're sealed documents, Jane. It's against the law.

Jane:
Well if you wanna get Volker you can't let that stop you.

Lisbon:
What do you suggest?

Jane:
Ardiles is the deputy D.A., he's gonna have a deposition.

Lisbon:
Ardiles is not gonna stick his neck out for me.

Jane:
Well of course not, he's a smart lawyer. You have to get something on him that will make him help you.

Lisbon:
Blackmail the deputy D.A.?

Jane:
Sure, why not.

Lisbon:
How can I get dirt on Ardiles?

Jane:
Ask yourself this: who makes it their business to know everyone else's?
