Previously on White Collar...
Let me see it.
You understand how this works?
Yeah, I'm being released into the custody of the FBI
under your supervision.
This is a temporary situation.
Help me catch the dutchman, we can make it permanent.
The Spanish Victory Bond.
This is the only surviving copy.
Except it's a forgery.
I know who the Dutchman is.
Curtis Hagen.
You are a particular kind of bastard!
FBI, you're under arrest.
Neal.
Ellen.
You and your father.
My mom told me he was dead.
But you told me the truth.
He was a dirty cop,
and he's not dead.
You grew up in witness protection.
I was 3 when the marshals took us away.
What happened?
They found a gun with his prints on it.
He killed a cop?
He confessed.
All the information I've found on the others since James' arrest.
Your dad told me
that our department is filled with dirty cops.
And he's right about one thing:
there are dirty cops.
Senator Terrence Pratt.
He's got to be one of the dirty cops Ellen was investigating.
He's the one.
We found the evidence box.
After all these years.
That box belongs to Senator Pratt.
Where is it?
Where's what?
The evidence!
Pratt!
Put down the gun.
He's dead.
Don't move.
Peter, you have the right to remain silent.
Neal, Peter's gun killed Pratt.
There's gunshot residue on Peter's hands.
It doesn't look good.
What did you do, dad?
It was self defense.
You're gonna testify, and you're gonna clear Peter's name.
I can't do it.
The irony of this is not lost on me.
This is my fault.
My father is--
You can't take responsibility for what James did.
He has completely disappeared.
Without his confession--
I know.
There was gunshot residue on my hands,
my prints on the gun,
and no eye witnesses.
I would've arrested me.
Justice will prevail.
Let's damn well hope so.
I have some news to cheer you up.
Federal prosecutor is dropping charges?
No, not that good.
Diana's pregnant.
But how?
She decided to do it on her own.
She's actually pretty far along.
There's so much I might miss.
Hi, hon.
Hi, hon.
I hate for you to see me like this.
What I see is a man who's gonna come back even stronger.
You're gonna beat this, Peter Burke.
You're gonna come home to me.
I will.
I promise.
Neal, it's been six weeks.
I don't think I can take another day,
much less years.
The indictment hearing starts tomorrow.
I know.
But that only decides if he goes to trial.
If he's indicted,
even if he's found innocent,
he can never serve as an FBI agent again.
I don't care about his career.
All I care about is getting him out of there.
I understand that, but--
You care.
That's right. Of course.
Because his job is what's keeping you
from joining him in prison.
I'm sorry, Neal. It was wrong.
No, it's okay.
Peter cares.
And I can't be responsible for taking away his badge.
That's why I want to clear him before the indictment.
Get him home to you as soon as possible.
Do we have any options?
We do, but they mostly involve you two
living under new identities in Alaska.
Anything less nuclear?
Not yet.
Well I've always wanted to drive a snowmobile to work, so.
Do whatever you have to do, okay?
Okay.
I did it!
Unless you found a way to get Peter out of jail,
I don't want to hear about it.
It's a step in that direction.
I cracked your anklet.
What?
This fine piece of technology
took nine months
and most of your wine cabinet,
but because of this,
the FBI will no longer know where you are.
You spent almost a year working on this?
It was supposed to be a surprise.
And for us to take a road trip to the Jersey Shore.
But a prison break is second best.
Moz, this is great.
But how are we going to convince Peter to break out of prison?
Who says we have to convince him?
