White Collar is a Police Procedural drama series created by Jeff Eastin about a white collar Gentleman Thief, Neal Caffrey (Matt Bomer), and Peter Burke (Tim DeKay), the FBI Agent supervising him who work together, albeit begrudgingly, to stop white collar criminals. It aired for six seasons on USA Network from 2009 to 2014.Caffrey is a convicted Con Artist, having broken out of jail three months before his sentence of four years was completed. He's quickly caught by Burke (who was responsible for catching him in the first place) and is in for another four year stay, but manages to be released to the FBI (Under Burke's supervision and being tagged with a GPS-tracking anklet) to assist with catching some of the most ruthless white collar criminals in New York City, which also gives him an opportunity to pursue his lost girlfriend, Kate (Alexandra Daddario), on the side.Other important characters include Elizabeth Burke (Tiffani Thiessen), Peter's loving and devoted wife, with whom he has a wonderful relationship; Mozzie (Willie Garson), Neal's lovably eccentric partner in crime; and the members of Peter's White Collar Crime Unit, including Clinton Jones (Sharif Atkins) and Diana Barrigan (Marsha Thomason).Examples

Calling Your Bathroom Breaks: Downplayed in "Hard Sell". If you had any doubt as to how criminal Caffrey is, his vernacular breaks the silence thusly: He also takes the time to scrutinize Peter's family photos, recognizing the ring, belonging to the man in the picture with Kate.

Master Forger: One episode features a document forger as the Villain of the Week and the MacGuffin of the week is a set of perfect identities he had created and wanted to sell. The Invented Individual they represented had a complete traceable "life" behind them in terms of paperwork, such as paid taxes and college courses won and everything, so all that was needed was someone actually stepping into the role.

Visual Pun: In "Forging Bonds" we see how Neal and Peter met for the first time. Peter was investigating some of Neal's forgeries. When Neal overhears a conversation between Peter and a bank manager he approaches Peter fooling him into thinking that he was a concerned citizen and has a brief conversation with him. Before walking off, Neal hands Peter a sucker.

comment
No Sympathy: Averted with Elizabeth, who never seems to mind (too much) when Peter's work gets in the way of their personal life. When a fugitive FBI agent inadvertently hijacks Peter and Elizabeth's date night, she acts more like he's stuck in traffic than anything. To be fair, she asks Mozzie for Peter's safe word to make sure he's okay first. When she found out he spent an afternoon flirting with another woman, her response was to laugh hysterically, knowing how awful Peter is at that and how much he must have hated it. Of course, when she finds out he was posing as a chiropractor and the other woman refers to his "magic hands"... Played straight when Neal starts dating Sara Ellis. They both lead rather unconventional lives, but she views herself as being on the correct side of the morally gray area they live in, and doesn't like that Neal's on the wrong side.

Fowler acts as one to both Peter and Neal. He's an FBI lifer like Peter who loved his wife, but because he was willing to murder the man who killed her, he ends up getting blackmailed into a life of crime. That also makes him a foil to Neal, who desperately loved Kate, but who was a willing criminal.

Stealth Pun: In "Free Fall", Neal sets up a bakery named "The Greatest Cake" as part of a scheme to escape police custody. The joke is never brought up. In "Shoot the Moon," Peter and his wife are kidnapped by a thieving couple. The girl tells how the boyfriend went to jail for stealing auto parts. He served hard time for assault for accidentally dropping a car battery on a cop's foot. This would make it an Assault WITH a battery.

I Need a Freaking Drink: Mozzie in "Countdown" as Neal is about to reveal his plan to switch in a fake Degas for the real one. He at first looks like he'll fill a short glass with wine...then he half-fills a tall one...and then seems to say, "screw it" and fill the tall one nearly full. He does this again during "In the Wind", after coming to Neal's apartment to plan, and runs into Sara. It's quite clear what she and Neal were doing the night before.

Framing the Guilty Party
 White Collar / int_216dab44
comment
Framing the Guilty Party: "Scott Free" has a particularly notable example in that the guilty party is actually guilty of the exact crime he's being framed for. There's this kid, right? Stealing from Asshole Victims Just Like Robin Hood. Only his latest heist was from another thief who's fully capable of killing "Robin Hoody" for the hell of it. Neal's solution? Put the loot back and call Peter. The Season 5 premiere sees Neal do this to his father James, the real killer in the murder that Peter was wrongly arrested for, by forging a confession to the murder.

Chekhov's Gun
 White Collar / int_22cf536c
comment
Chekhov's Gun Peter mentioning that he grew up upstate and knows some things about horses. In "Payback", Peter and Elizabeth have a not-quite-a-fight over Elizabeth having to pick up Peter's suit from the dry cleaners. Later, Peter finds a dry cleaners' tag still attached to the suit jacket with a safety pin, and uses the pin to pick his way out of a pair of handcuffs. Neal's tracking anklet serves as this in the series finale. He spent most of Season 6 being entirely off-anklet due to being undercover in a semi-long-term, high-stakes operation. However, once they've caught the bad guys and Neal slips away with Keller, Neal—who knows that Keller plans to betray him—secretly puts his anklet back on to help Peter find him and Keller in time to stop the latter.

Only Sane Man: The dissenters to Neal's crazy political campaign plans in "Need to Know" come off as this. While everyone else on the politician's team goes along with all of Neal's suggestions for Suspiciously Specific Denial, at least one person gripes that it makes absolutely no sense. Which is, of course, why it's working.

Neal. As an incredibly intelligent Guile Hero, he's great at talking his way out of situations, but since he's averse to violence and Doesn't Like Guns, he's not much good at fighting his way out. The few times he does end up in a physical fight, he loses the upper hand pretty quickly and has to be saved by someone else. In one episode he's heard trying to persuade Peter that he should receive combat training since he's out in the field so much, but Peter understandably shoots this down.

The Bad Guy Wins: In "Payback", Keller is prevented from killing Peter and making off with a priceless ring...but his primary goal is to break out of jail, and this he accomplishes without a hitch, walking off free and clear at the end of the episode. In "Most Wanted", in order to get Neal pardoned for fleeing FBI custody, Peter is forced to concoct a plan that requires Collins to win. In return for letting Neal go, Collins takes the credit for arresting the #4 fugitive on the FBI's Most Wanted List.

It Works Better with Bullets
 White Collar / int_2f187e89
comment
It Works Better with Bullets Neal tries towards the end of "Book Of Hours". The perp points out there's still a round chambered. He managed to pull it off better in "Unfinished Business" though. Apparently mooks don't chamber their rounds. In the series finale, Neal pulls this on Keller in a very complex fashion, combined with a bit of Fridge Brilliance. The first round in the revolver is the trick bullet Neal uses to fake his own death. The second chamber is empty to guarantee Peter gets the drop on Keller. The rest are full, to give the gun the appropriate heft.

Batman Gambit
 White Collar / int_38d02d44
comment
Batman Gambit: Keller pulls off an impressive one to successfully break out of jail. It relies on Peter focusing on the crime, Neal focusing on rescuing Peter, his partner focusing on being a dumb douche, and prison guards focusing on the possibility of getting paid. In "Honor Among Thieves," Peter thinks Neal pulled one in order to get everything he wants. In summary, Neal managed to catch the criminal of the week, escape legal punishment for stealing a piece of artwork, avoid taking the rap for the stolen files from the US Marshals' database despite Abigail planting his hairs in their offices, obtain the files on Ellen that the Marshals weren't going to give up, and perhaps most importantly, retained Peter's trust despite not telling him about all the stuff he should have. It gets to the point where Peter isn't even sure if Neal pulled a long con on him, and doesn't know whether he was right to believe Neal when Neal said that Peter's trust was more important to him than Ellen's files on the flash drive were. Credit to the writers: we don't know, either. Neal's final con in the series completely relied on knowing Keller would betray him. He even admits that is is utterly predictable.

Know When to Fold Them: Henry Dobbs pretty much owns his little part of Costa Verde. For a price, he will more than willingly handle minor complaints his renters have and take care of the local government's complaints against them. The US Federal Government, however, is a force he will not go up against and be more than willing to help them so his little paradise is not disturbed.

Character Development
 White Collar / int_3b113b7
comment
Character Development: In "Payback", Neal's first move is to tell the FBI that Peter has been kidnapped. It's more likely that, several years ago, Neal would have tried to rescue Peter solo and through a con rather than go through official channels. And then in the denouement, Peter offers Neal back the ring he used for ransom with no strings or assumption of guilt as to the origins. Neal politely declines and suggests that it is indeed stolen. As much a step forward for Neal on many levels as it was also the ring he was going to propose to Kate with. Also at the end of "Checkmate", Neal intends to fully confess to Peter his part in the theft of the Nazi treasure, even though it means serious jail time for him. He is genuinely sorry for betraying him and regrets that Elizabeth was kidnapped as a result. However Keller takes all the credit for the theft (claiming he did it in order to return the treasure to its rightful owners) before Neal gets the chance to confess. Peter, however, has a good idea of what Neal was going to confess to and greatly appreciates the gesture nonetheless. An utterly devastating example is evident in "In The Wind". Neal discovers the truth about his father, mainly that he really did kill a cop. The manner in which he confronts his father is laced with anger, but at the same time, hidden acceptance. This is drastically different than the 18-year old who ran away from home at just the mere mention of "murder". Diana later breaks the news about Pratt's death at the hands of James (self-defense). Neal falls into resignation; addressing him calmly. Remember, this is the tone of the same consultant who could barely look at a dead body, even going so far as trying to back out of the room in "Home Invasion". Now, he doesn't even bat an eye.

comment
Parental Substitute: Peter is more than a little like this to Neal. Lampshaded by Mozzie on more than one occasion, starting in the second season. Elizabeth, June, and Ellen also took on maternal roles to Neal at different points. Peter and Elizabeth's role as Neal's surrogate parents was never more clear than when they were talking to him about how he needed to tell Rebecca the truth about who he was. The scene was so very reminiscent of parents sitting their son down to talk to him about relationships and the importance of honesty. Him going to June for her opinion after that demonstrated how Neal values her advice just as much as Peter and Elizabeth's. Mr. Jefferies to Mozzie.

Kansas City Shuffle: It happens occasionally. Notably, in the pilot, Neal pulls this on the FBI and the suspect at the same time: when it turns out that Peter and Neal figure out exactly where the crime is occurring, but can't actually get in there without a warrant and have no probable cause to get a warrant, Neal jumps the bounds of his tracking device and heads to the location, convincing the criminals that he's trying to rob them, badly. The FBI raids the location to get Neal back, and just happen to discover the illegal activity there, which is admissible under the "Exigent Circumstances" exception of law: they were there to get Neal back, but any evidence of illegal activity discovered in the course of said apprehension is perfectly legal.

Cops Need the Vigilante: The series plays with this, as the FBI know the crook-of-the-week is operating out of a warehouse, but they do not have a warrant. So convicted felon Neal Caffrey, who works as a consultant, simply runs to the warehouse - where the FBI then tracks him using his monitoring bracelet, and can use exigent circumstances to go inside. This follows under the heading of "an agent of the police can't do what the cops can't do".

False Reassurance: After borrowing Burke's FBI jacket, Neal swears that "under no circumstances will I use this jacket to impersonate an FBI agent". Cut to Neal's friend Mozzie using the jacket to impersonate an FBI agent. Peter's beginning to get wise:

Named After Somebody Famous: Quite a few characters (Peter, Elizabeth, Alex, Kate...) share their names with Russian monarchs. There's also Neal's standard alias Nicholas Halden, and Mozzie checks into the hospital as Ivan Bliminse. Mozzie's "real" name derives from his inability to pronounce "Mozart" as a child.

Another episode had Neal and Mozzie walking around with a few hundred pounds of stained glass and lead came. In one hand each. Like it was a Welsh Corgi.

In "One Last Stakeout," Neal walks into a solemn office and starts thinking that they might have found out what he was up to in the last few episodes. This isn't helped by the previous scene, where Siegel caught Neal interacting with Hagen and passing him a suspicious bag. What actually happened was that Siegel was found dead at Neal and Hagen's meeting place. We Hardly Knew Ye...

Kate and Neal actually fight over the sheet when getting out of bed, with him walking naked in the apartment after she wins. In "Scott Free", Sara wakes up wearing one the morning after she sleeps with Neal. In "Wanted", Maya and Neal and seen wearing the "L shaped" one after sleeping together. "No Good Deed" opens with a post-coital Neal and Rebecca Talking in Bed while both each have their own modesty sheet.

Birth-Death Juxtaposition: A metaphorical one. When Mozzie's true name of Theodore Winters is revealed and on the FBI radar, he finds he needs to kill off this identity.

Meaningful Name: The episode name "Forging Bonds" has a double meaning. Caffrey appears to have a care-free attitude, Keller is a killer, Fowler was up to something foul... Also, an in-universe example with Neal using word-associations to remember names. A variant occurs where Mozzie calls Peter by his name instead of the usual "Suit" at the end of "Dentist of Detroit". This implies he has gotten over his bad experience of being adopted by a family of Feds as a child.

Turns out that if you really anger Mozzie, he's more dangerous than Neal...

Punny Name: Before the FBI identified Neal as the bond forger, his nickname was James Bonds. "Scott Free" gave us Robin Hoodie: he stole from the rich and wore a hoodie. More accurately, Neal gave the FBI the name and immediately regrets it when everybody else takes to it. The expression of exasperation he has when Elizabeth expresses she likes it is positively epic. Sara names her and Neal's hypothetical baton-wielding con-children Conrad and Connie.

Will Not Tell a Lie
 White Collar / int_76c30df4
comment
Will Not Tell a Lie: Early on, Neal tells Peter that he's never lied to him. As someone who lies for a living, you'd think that statement to be improbable... except that it's true. Neal's committed quite a few lies of omission, and has skirted around telling the entire truth to Peter on several occasions, but he's rarely, if ever, fed the FBI agent a bald-faced lie. According to Jeff Eastin, Neal does NOT actually lie to Peter, which makes his "creative truth-telling" a challenge to write. In season 4, Elizabeth asks Neal to lie to Peter about one of Neal and Peter's investigations, in order to protect Peter who has just ended up in the hospital due to a related FBI case. Peter knows that it's a bald-faced lie and immediately realizes something is wrong, because he knows Neal never outright lies to him. In fact, in contrast to his reactions to Neal's usual misdirection, Peter assumes that Neal is lying for a good reason and does his best to help Neal without revealing that he's involved.

Boxed Crook: Neal, albeit in a far less extreme version than the definition presented on that page. Alex gets such a deal from the Greek government after trying to rob the Acropolis for art with which to decorate her villa. They figure if she's so good at stealing Hellenic antiquities, she can go reclaim Greek cultural treasures from other countries for them. In season six, Matthew Keller has a deal similar to Neal's with Interpol. Difference is that Keller is still a killer and is even willing to get his handler murdered, assuming he'll be able to walk away when everything is done.

Consummate Liar: Neal is this, except when it comes to Peter. He has stretched the boundaries, rarely, but he's much worse at deceiving him than anyone else. The one time he straight up lied to Peter, about his progress with finding the evidence box in Season 4 it took the latter by surprise so much he figured out that Elizabeth put him up to it. As the cast includes a lot of con artists and other white collar criminals, there are numerous characters, both among Neal's friends and enemies, who could fit this description, as well.

Token Evil Teammate: Let's face it: Neal is a world-class criminal who is something of a legend. However, it subverts this trope for the most part. Season three however starts off with Neal making plans to escape from the FBI with stolen Nazi plunder. With no hesitation at doing so. The only reason he doesn't get away successfully is because 1) Jones was in danger and 2) the timing was off. And he does not hesitate in figuring his next attempt. So for however likeable Neal is, he's still very capable of deceiving friends and allies if it suits him. And then subverted twice over in, once he thinks about it, he decides he wants to stay legit, only really conflicted because Mozzie doesn't see the point in staying. Mozzie, however, seems to be a perfectly straight version, except that he wasn't exactly able to make a clean break, and comes right back as soon as he learns Elizabeth is in trouble. The same thing happens to Mozzie again in Season 5 when he's faced with a choice of getting away even though Diana unveiled his identity, or staying and helping Diana give birth to her baby. He stays. Neal is now on his way to playing the trope straight as he's finally admitted he doesn't feel guilt when he's committing his heists, and he wants to go back to that life again. Once he admitted that to himself, he has absolutely no qualms about stealing the money the Criminal of the Week stole. The previous Neal might have let the FBI confiscate it and return it to the bank, but not this time.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero!
 White Collar / int_7fbb2a3
comment
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: In "On The Fence" the FBI has Matthew Keller apprehended, until the hitman Mozzie hired to kill him shows up and opens fire. In the ensuing chaos, Keller gets away cleanly and then, in "Countdown", kidnaps Elizabeth, setting off a chain of events that leads to Mozzie and Neal losing the treasure. At the beginning of the fourth series, Neal (and Mozzie) have made a clean break; Neal is living under an expertly-made assumed name, and the FBI - neither Peter nor the bloodhound the FBI assigns to track Caffrey down - have any idea where he is. The bloodhound spooks Peter, who manages to talk the one person Neal still has a contact method with, into giving him that contact method. Peter then gets Neal to call him, to warn him, but Peter is planning to get to Neal first, and records the call; with which recording Peter figures out where Neal is. Then the bloodhound raids Peter's home, finds the map on which they circled the location Neal is at (having found it via the background sound from the call,) goes there, and puts a $500,000 bounty on Neal, quote "in any condition" and without specifying that said condition needs to include "alive." Whooops. Peter's efforts in trying help Neal find out the truth about his father end up inadvertently getting Ellen murdered and forcing their only other lead to go into hiding, since he put their names through the FBI database, which can be accessed by corrupt officials.

Continuity Cavalcade: The series finale has quite a few continuity nods, referencing how Neal and June met in the pilot, multiple references to how Neal and Mozzie met as revealed in Forging Bonds, and Keller references Kate's death in Out of the Box, which also alludes to the rivalry they had over her (which was a big part of the tension between them in Keller's first episode, Bottlenecked, but was not brought up in any of his appearances since).

Artistic License – Law
 White Collar / int_8391b1c7
comment
Artistic License – Law: Some (most) of the show's schemes go beyond zany (see below) and go into full-blown, Cowboy Cop, massively illegal territory. Of special note, they at one point assault and poison a man before kidnapping him and threatening him with death if he doesn't incriminate himself (1x10, "Vital Signs"). Not only would the case not hold up in court, but Neal and Peter would go (back) to prison. Another important point is that the cops can't ask another party to do what they cannot themselves do. Bloody hands at arm's length and all that. Neal's activities are all illegal and any evidence obtained thereby would be inadmissible. Over the course of the series, somewhere between 99 and 100 percent of their cases would have been thrown out.

He tells the corrupt Wall Street brokerage group that they've infiltrated that Neal's bugged pen is too high end for the FBI to afford and that he's actually a corporate spy. In reality, the pen was given to Neal by the FBI.

In another episode, Elizabeth makes a few passing mentions of how Peter wooed her. And she's right; Peter flirting is hilarious since when wooing her, Peter did things straight out of romantic comedies. Him flirting doesn't mean anything to her since she knows if he really meant it, he'd be doing much more romantic things.

Wham Episode
 White Collar / int_8e20979
comment
Wham Episode: Every mid-season and season finale so far has concluded with a surprise reveal or cliffhanger. The season 3 finale "Judgement Day". To avoid Neal being taken into the US Marshals' custody and dragged off to D.C. to work for Kramer while still on a tracking anklet, Peter hints for Neal to run, and he successfully leaves with Mozzie blowing all chances of a successful commutation. Although quite a few fans saw the "stunning revelation" at the end of the Season Four summer finale coming a mile away. Some were hoping against it, however, because they thought it too cliched. The season 4 finale has Peter getting arrested for a murder he didn't commit. In "One Last Stakeout," Neal walks into a solemn office and starts thinking that they might have found out what he was up to in the last few episodes. This isn't helped by the previous scene, where Siegel caught Neal interacting with Hagen and passing him a suspicious bag. What actually happened was that Siegel was found dead at Neal and Hagen's meeting place. We Hardly Knew Ye... "Live Feed," Hagen dies in front of Neal and Peter before he can reveal vital information, a series of clues leads the two to an apartment filled with files on Neal, Peter and their associates, and it seems the person behind all the events surrounding the Mosconi Codex is Rebecca.

Odd Couple: Neal and Peter are basically polar opposites; and in "Home Invasion" they get all Felix and Oscar when they're forced to share an apartment. Somewhat of an inversion too as the by-the-book cop is the sloppy one and the break-the-rules criminal is the uptight and tidy one. Although, one could argue this is the more logical alignment, as Con men often Thrive on a mark being disorderly, Neal keeping order in his personal life is a defense mechanism; and Peter while restrained by the rules of being a Government Employee would let himself relax when free of oversight

Urban Legend Love Life: Neal. He flirts with everything that moves, but never even seems to try to hook up with anyone. Peter seems to assume that Neal's bedroom has a revolving door, but we see no evidence on the show that this is true. Probably due to the missing Kate being his One True Love, but even that relationship was not clearly explained as nowhere near "platonic" until "Forging Bonds". For all we know, she's his platonic soulmate. Though the writers are using Alex to Joss this.

Good with Numbers: Neal demonstrates this in the pilot, calculating 64 years of compound interest in a matter of seconds. Later when Jones estimates the street value of a case of counterfeit Rolexes, Diana remarks that he's been hanging around Neal too much. Peter's degree was in accounting, and he was apparently good enough to be recruited by several Fortune 500 companies. Mozzie tends to be quite good with this trope too. This becomes huge in the fifth season when Mozzie realizes that the mysterious symbols they've been trying to decipher are number rather than letters.

My God, What Have I Done?: At the end of "As You Were", Neal breaks into Burke's house to steal the Nazi cargo manifest when he receives a call from Burke, who tries to cheer him up over his recent breakup with Sara. Neal then breaks down when he realizes the gravity of the deed he has just done. A slightly existential example in "Controlling Interest", after being dosed with a drug called Good Night Cinderella (twice), Neal has an epiphany, where he believes that he doesn't feel guilty, and gets terrified of his own lack of morality.

Marrying the Mark: Mozzie marries a woman pulling the "Sweetheart Con"; he pretends to be a millionaire, finds a real millionaire, woos her, marries her, and makes off with a lot of her money. Except it turns out the mark in this case is not only not a millionaire or even rich, she was pulling the exact same con on him. Naturally, they're perfect for each other.

 White Collar / int_a6e8221e

Status Quo Is God: Subverted in the Season 3 finale. Neal was perhaps just moments away from being free of his anklet and working for the FBI as an actual consultant but Kramer comes along to arrest him, prompting Neal to flee the country. He's back to being a criminal, and Peter is back to chasing him — though he was the one who hinted for him to run. This effectively returns to the status quo of the start of the series and before Neal ever went to jail.

When Mozzie first meets Peter, he uses the alias "Dante Haversham"; in a later episode, when Neal has a message sent to "Mr. Haversham", he reveals that using that name is a distress signal between them. In Season 3, when Mozzie walks in on Peter's date with a Black Widow in Neal's apartment (it makes sense in context), Peter clues him in by introducing him as "My man, Haversham."

Odd Friendship: Elizabeth and Mozzie Acknowledged and lampshaded in Prisoner's Dilemma. Peter sends Mozzie home to Elizabeth in order to let her knew he's safe. And to keep her company on what would have been Peter and Elizabeth's date night. He mentions as much to the person he's with. With season 3, it starts to solidify more in various episodes. Elizabeth calls Mozzie over for assistance when Neal and Peter are hesitant. And Mozzie has begun to occasionally call or refer to her as Elizabeth rather than Mrs. Suit.

Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass
 White Collar / int_a9de87d2
comment
Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: While hardly a moron, Peter does generally come off as a bit bumbling and sometimes a little clueless. And then he does something that reminds you why he was the only one able to track down Neal Caffrey. (Twice.) The scene in episode 12 at the auction house when Peter plays the part of a wine snob to perfection (after admitting to numerous people that he doesn't actually like wine) is a particularly awesome example. As well as in "All In" where he intentionally goes up to a group of Chinatown escorts asking questions in English — to record the bitchy and smug answers they shot at him in Chinese. From the season one finale: From Episode 14 of Season 2, Peter is kidnapped and blindfolded — when the kidnappers remove his blindfold, he tells them his location to the block. In "Checkmate", Peter manages to ad-lib his way through a con while Mozzie stood there stunned. He also executes an excellent flying tackle on Keller just as he is about to land a killing blow on Neal. He manages to hold his own pretty well in the scuffle with Keller too, right up until Neal shoots Keller in the leg. In S04E7, Peter lets a fixer control the interrogation and Sherlock Scan him and Diana, playing to her ego. He then tells her he thinks she's all bluff. She calls the Mayor to prove a point to him... Not realising that as City Hall logs are public record, Peter now knows her phone number, and can subpoena her records. One generally doesn't think Mozzie can possibly be badass, but when held in gunpoint during "By the Book", he manages to grab the gun from the mook when he is distracted.

Con Men Hate Guns: Neal, who is "not a gun guy." But, as we see in "Hard Sell", not liking guns doesn't mean Neal can't use one really well. And again in "Unfinished Business". Putting together a Ruger MK II with custom specs? Like a boss. Later, we find out that when Neal was a kid, his mom told him his dad was a heroic cop who died in the line of duty. Neal grows up wanting to be just like that, and ends up learning a lot about guns.

Loophole Abuse: Neal uses this to nail the perp in the pilot episode.

Lampshaded when Peter complains to Neal about how he and Mozzie treat the very limited utility of the exigent circumstances law as an all-you-can-subpoena buffet.

Born Lucky
 White Collar / int_b39b94da
comment
Born Lucky: Peter sometimes perceives Neal as being this way and slightly resents him for it, for instance, when Peter scolds Neal for getting something for nothing in the pilot. To be fair to Peter, what were the odds of Neal encountering, straight out of prison, a Cool Old Lady with a soft spot for conmen? One willing to offer him the spare room in her gorgeous Manhattan townhouse? (Not to mention some of her dead husband's gorgeous clothes.) Peter comments on Neal's luck again in the second episode of season two, "Need to Know." Peter watched Neal get kissed by Raquel after betraying her, lying to her, and getting her caught by the FBI. Of course Neal is born lucky. The opposite also seems to be true; Neal apparently wants the "normal" white-picket-fence life Peter has. Subverted in "Company Man" when it's shown Peter could have been wildly rich and successful with his accounting degree, but prefers the nobility of the FBI and his loving wife. When he's faced with a grand hotel room with everything he could ever want, Neal tells him, "Seems like you picked the wrong universe," to which Peter immediately replies, "Nope." And out of all the grandeur in the room, Peter considers the best thing to be the photo of Elizabeth he brought from home. Later, we learn he also could have been a pro baseball player. Definitely the case after Neal gets away with the crime of hoarding the Nazi treasure because Keller lies that he's the one who found the submarine and kept the treasure. As such, not only is Neal cleared of everything to do with the Nazi treasure, he gets a commutation hearing to discuss reducing his sentence for outstanding service to the country since he helped catch Keller. As Peter puts it in "Upper West Side Story": "Judgement Day" reveals that the treasure Keller took that was eventually recovered by the US government was only a little more than half of the total Nazi treasure. The rest was shipped out of the country by Mozzie and is still more than Neal and Mozzie could ever want for. Yet whenever things start looking up for Neal, something bad happens to the people around him. An example would be after he was allowed to return to New York and continue as an FBI consultant, Peter got re-assigned to the evidence warehouse temporarily. And when Peter was allowed to return to the White Collar division two episodes later, everything is where it should be and Neal is happy for about five minutes before Ellen is shot.

In order to facilitate their sale of the Nazi artwork, Mozzie and Neal need uncrackable identities, but one of the only ways to get them is to steal the birth certificate of a dead infant. Of course, Neal decides to try and Take a Third Option. Neal has limits as to who he pulls his cons on. In "Parting Shots", Neal refuses to con an innocent widow.

Peter and Mozzie's relationship has greatly evolved, however. Before, Peter refused to leave his wife alone with Mozzie and had Jones come over when he couldn't be there. A season later, and Peter sends Mozzie over to hang out with Elizabeth while Peter is handling a delicate situation. And in "Payback", Mozzie is genuinely shocked and concerned when Peter is kidnapped. To the point of bring a bag of hammers when Neal asks for just one and going to keep Elizabeth company at home turning the ordeal on his own volition despite the FBI security detail on the house. And planting a bug on the FBI security so that Elizabeth can hear how the rescue is going. He also immediately comes back to New York in "Checkmate" and is willing to give up the Nazi treasure when he finds out Elizabeth was kidnapped.

Mirror Character: After we find out a little more about Fowler's past, it's quite clear that he was very much like Burke in his early career and it is quite possible that Burke may have fallen like Fowler if the situation was right. Likewise, if Neal had continued his life of crime, he could have very well turned out to be like some of the criminals he helped Burke arrest. "Payback" suggests this as well that if Neal continues his lifestyle, he'll end up always looking for a con to the point of, functionally, acting like a (classy) addict well into old age and ending up alone, penniless, and ultimately, an empty shell with nothing in the world - not even money or fine things - but trying to hold on to something he's losing.

Fool for Love: Neal to Kate. She breaks up with him and he immediately breaks out of prison to find her. He spends the entire first season trying to find and rescue her. The second season focuses on him trying to avenge her murder. Later seasons show that he's not that good at keeping a level head about his relationships. Everything almost falls apart thanks to his relationship with Sara Ellis in seasons three and four, and his relationship with Rebecca in season five is best described as Worst. Breakup. Ever.

Mozzie gets riled up in "In the Red" when he finds out that the perp Neal and Peter are going after is running an extortion scam involving adopted kids. This is because Mozzie was raised under foster care and understands the hardships adopted children must go through. This one could likely stretch into real life as well. Willie Garson (Mozzie) mentions in USA's "I'm a Character" promos that he's an adoptive father in real life, and could very possibly have the same Berserk Button about messing with adopted children.

And Neal happened to be down with injuries too.

Happily Married
 White Collar / int_bec0417c
comment
Happily Married: Peter and Elizabeth; in fact, their marriage is quite possibly the happiest on American television. Potential opportunities for marital strife (e.g. Elizabeth's friend in episode 4, Peter at the hotel in episode 5) are used to show how much the two depend on each other. In "Vital Signs", Peter had to flirt with another woman to gain contact information and trust. Elizabeth found the idea of Peter flirting hilarious, and the same pickup lines were reused at the end of the episode to give more support to this trope. In another episode, Elizabeth makes a few passing mentions of how Peter wooed her. And she's right; Peter flirting is hilarious since when wooing her, Peter did things straight out of romantic comedies. Him flirting doesn't mean anything to her since she knows if he really meant it, he'd be doing much more romantic things. The fact that most of the fandom (the fandom) is unwilling to break up Peter and El's marriage in fic and the biggest ship is an OT3 of Peter/El/Neal should go far in showing you how Happily Married they are. In one episode, Peter is pretending to be an auditor and gets put up in a 5-star hotel penthouse. He's talking to Elizabeth on his laptop, showing her the room, the view, and otherwise gushing about how swanky it is. Then he gets to, in his own words, "...the best part." And that is? A picture of Elizabeth he packed with him. In addition, several scenes later as he's getting ready for bed, he spends the time talking to that picture. In the episode "Payback", we see what passes for domestic drama in the Burke household: an argument about picking up the dry cleaning and a failure to call each other "hon" when they part. Neal and Mozzie both lampshade this incredulously:

Aesop Amnesia: Apparently, in Season 3, Neal has completely forgotten about the Aesop of the episode "Countermeasures". Peter and Neal keep learning and then forgetting that they work better together when they don't go behind each other's backs, and Neal keeps learning and then forgetting that in the long run, hiding things from Peter almost never works. Neal eventually realizes that he can't stop; he just likes conning people too darn much.

Cliffhanger
 White Collar / int_c6b8d37a
comment
Cliffhanger The Season 1 mid-season finale where Peter's waiting for Kate in her hotel room, wearing the ring from the surveillance photos. Season 1 ends with Kate's plane exploding. Season 2's summer finale ends with Mozzie getting shot. Season 2 ends with Neal in a room filled with a fortune in lost art/riches. With a look on his face that screams "Better than Sex". He didn't steal it... but who did? Season 3's summer finale ends with Keller kidnapping Elizabeth. Season 3's finale ends with Neal fleeing the country with Mozzie. Season 4's summer finale is Neal finding out the guy calling himself Sam and helping him look into his past is actually his father James, who he last saw when he was three and then Season 4 goes on to end with James framing Peter for murdering a senator and disappearing again despite all Neal's desperation to get him to do the right thing. And at the end of Season 5's finale, Neal is kidnapped.

Shout-Out
 White Collar / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Amusingly enough, the Ark actually shows up in the warehouse full of Nazi treasure in the last minutes of the Season 2 finale. Another: In "All In", to an old Chinese man: "Don't get him wet, don't feed him after midnight, right?" The password to the secret poker game? Sunnydale. Now if only they were playing for kittens... In "As You Were", Peter Burke states that he got a warrant by buying a good deal of the U.S. Attorney's daughter's "damn chocolate bars" to support their school. (Jeff Eastin acknowledged on his Twitter that this is a shout out co-writer to Jane Espenson.) Peter calls Mozzie "Ironside" in "Burke's Seven". Speaking of which..."Burke's Seven"? Both "Burke's Seven" and "Withdrawal" have Neal and Peter calling each other "Butch" and "Sundance". And Peter describing Keller as "more Ratso Rizzo than Cary Grant". Upon seeing a photo of Peter with a mustache: In "Copycat Caffrey", Alex refers to the group of college students hanging out at a bar with their professor as the Dead Poets Society. When forging an FBI case file, they come across a page mentioning a County Commissioner named Gordon. Cue Mozzie humming dana-nana-nana-nana.... And Jones humming the same tune when he reads over the file. At least a couple times Mozzie is referred to as Rain Man. In "Upper West Side Story", when Manhattan Prep student Evan shows up to ask for help with correct legal terminology, Peter quips "10 Points to Gryffindor" From the same episode, Neal poses as a substitute teacher teaching romantic poetry and all the girls in the class fall for him. As Peter tells Elizabeth later:

The Nicknamer

The Nicknamer: To Mozzie, Peter is "Suit", Elizabeth is "Mrs. Suit", and Diana is "Lady Suit". Jones and Diana collectively are the "Demi-Suits". Mozzie even calls Christie "Ms. Lady Suit", quickly corrected by Neal as "Doctor Lady Suit." During the years when Neal was chased by Peter, Neal nicknamed Peter "Burke the Jerk", which Peter was not happy to discover. The FBI gives nicknames to all the criminals they don't know the true identity of. The list includes "The Dutchman", "Ghovat" (The Ghost), and "James Bonds" for Neal and his bond forgery.

Anachronistic Clue
 White Collar / int_ca803bc0
comment
Anachronistic Clue: Peter and Neal will often look for such clues to determine if an item is a forgery. It is usually averted with forgeries Neal makes since he does detailed research on the original and makes sure not to use anachronistic materials. This is invoked in one instance when Neal has to make a forgery that is good enough to fool most art experts but has just enough anachronisms that a detailed examination in an FBI lab would reveal that it is a fake.

Non-Action Guy: Neal. As an incredibly intelligent Guile Hero, he's great at talking his way out of situations, but since he's averse to violence and Doesn't Like Guns, he's not much good at fighting his way out. The few times he does end up in a physical fight, he loses the upper hand pretty quickly and has to be saved by someone else. In one episode he's heard trying to persuade Peter that he should receive combat training since he's out in the field so much, but Peter understandably shoots this down. Mozzie, for similar reasons as Neal.

He only gets vicious in the season finale, and that's after he felt betrayed by Neal-and even then, he's willing to help.

Fake-Out Make-Out: Between Neal and Diana in "Need to Know" . That extra-frisky frisking with Fiametta in "Book of Hours". A variation right before Alex first meets Peter. She takes off some of her clothes, messes up her hair, and lies down in Neal's bed. A mild variation with Neal giving Elizabeth a quick peck on the cheek to convince a nervous whistle-blower that he was agent Peter Burke. Seconds before, however, they almost did kiss. Cue Peter's Death Glare.

June shows herself to be an excellent actress during Neal's commutation hearing.

Peter is more than a little like this to Neal. Lampshaded by Mozzie on more than one occasion, starting in the second season. Elizabeth, June, and Ellen also took on maternal roles to Neal at different points. Peter and Elizabeth's role as Neal's surrogate parents was never more clear than when they were talking to him about how he needed to tell Rebecca the truth about who he was. The scene was so very reminiscent of parents sitting their son down to talk to him about relationships and the importance of honesty. Him going to June for her opinion after that demonstrated how Neal values her advice just as much as Peter and Elizabeth's.

Refuge in Audacity
 White Collar / int_d45c0b86

Refuge in Audacity: Neal pulls this off a lot. In the first season finale, Neal manages to infiltrate a party at the Italian consulate. He straight up tells everybody that he's an international art thief out to rob them, but it's all part of the plan. In "Point Blank", Neal slices a banner off a railing to swing from a balcony through the window into a locked room in the middle of a museum gala. Errol Flynn much? There's also "Taking Account," in which Neal and Sara use a suspected criminal's multimillion-dollar account to go on a huge shopping spree. Of course, this is all part of a plan to draw the suspect out, but he bought FOUR HELICOPTERS with the loot. The way he swaps the Degas in "Countdown". Neal sneaks up to a penthouse, swaps the painting for a forgery and jumps off the roof with a parachute. When Neal tells Peter in the season 3 finale, Peter just exasperatedly replies "Fine, don't tell me." Hopping from the top of one tram to another with the possibility of falling hundreds of feet into the river below and killing himself. Even Peter couldn't resist a small "Wow."

Hypocrite: Peter repeatedly berates Neal for looking for Kate and assuming she was in danger, and never apologizes to Neal for his part in her death. But when Peter's wife is kidnapped, he loses all composure and immediately blames Neal for the entire ordeal. He also chastises Neal every time he makes a lie of omission or makes morally grey decisions for the greater good. Yet Peter is more than willing to do exactly the same things.

Vitriolic Best Buds Neal and Peter, natch. Peter and Mozzie. Peter and Mozzie's relationship has greatly evolved, however. Before, Peter refused to leave his wife alone with Mozzie and had Jones come over when he couldn't be there. A season later, and Peter sends Mozzie over to hang out with Elizabeth while Peter is handling a delicate situation. And in "Payback", Mozzie is genuinely shocked and concerned when Peter is kidnapped. To the point of bring a bag of hammers when Neal asks for just one and going to keep Elizabeth company at home turning the ordeal on his own volition despite the FBI security detail on the house. And planting a bug on the FBI security so that Elizabeth can hear how the rescue is going. He also immediately comes back to New York in "Checkmate" and is willing to give up the Nazi treasure when he finds out Elizabeth was kidnapped. "Power Play" has Peter teasing Mozzie and then having a casual (if quirky) conversation as they walk home together.

Reasonable Authority Figure
 White Collar / int_dca70c44
comment
Reasonable Authority Figure: Hughes, Bancroft in "Prisoner's Dilemma". Hughes especially in the season 4 premiere. When a hot shot agent comes in hunting Neal, Hughes sides with Peter as openly as his position will allow. And when Hughes finds out that Peter has been hunting Neal (with his team) at home (after said hot shot gets a warrant to search Peter's home), Hughes outright asks Peter if he knows where Neal is. Peter says he may have just a strong lead as of last night and asks if the hot shot is on his way there. Hughes says yes and then tells Peter that he's been told to put Peter on leave in order to get perspective on what's important. He then adds: "If that means Neal... I understand." Let's put this in perceptive then. Hughes basically just learned that not only was Peter not following regulations, he was also very likely withholding evidence and obstructing the pursue of a fugitive. So Hughes gives Peter (and by extension, Neal) information that hot shot is en route and basically gives his blessing to use the forced vacation time for Peter to go after Neal, if he wishes. Later, he protects the other members of the team while Peter is on the speakerphone with him from Neal's hideout and Neal is listening but hasn't said anything out loud, Hughes agrees to set up a means of getting Neal back to his old deal, no new jailtime, and ends with all but admitting he knows Neal is right there when he tells Peter to not put him on speakerphone again. Later still, he did as much as he could to shield Peter from the fallout of his actions but couldn't stop him from being transferred and is genuinely sorry for this failure. Most. Benevolent. Boss. Ever.

Chekhov's Gunman: Curtis Hagen was the show's Starter Villain, and returns to be the Big Bad Chessmaster of Season 5. Or so it seems... On a related note, The real Big Bad of Season 5 turns out to be Neal's girlfriend "Rebecca Lowe" a.k.a. Rachel Turner. Matthew Keller as well. He's originally introduced in the Season 1 episode Bottlenecked as a former associate and rival of Neal's, but is arrested at the end of the episode. However, he breaks out of prison in Payback, shows up again in Season 3 to try to steal the Nazi treasure from Neal and Mozzie, and reappears once more in Season 6 as an undercover CI for Interpol, ending up in an Enemy Mine situation with Neal who is also undercover.

Continuity Snarl
 White Collar / int_df582b0b
comment
Continuity Snarl Neal's backstory is a bit tangled. Some of that could be excused as him being an unreliable narrator, but it's not just him contradicting himself. Peter, Mozzie, and others have also added to the confusion that is his backstory. He and Ellen claimed that they hadn't seen each other or spoken since Neal ran away when he was eighteen. However, the Raphael that he left with her and the pagers that they used to communicate seem to contradict this. The events that occurred between Neal first coming to New York and him getting caught doesn't seem to make much sense. Neal didn't do any of the high level cons before meeting Mozzie. He stuck to basic street cons, and forged a few bonds. No art theft, no heists. Then he met Mozzie and got involved with the long con against Adler. After Adler fled the country, Kate joined Neal and Mozzie. This was supposedly about a year after Neal met Peter for the first time, and they were still in New York. They were pulling some higher level stuff, but nothing like what Neal pulled later. Neal claimed that he started doing the more elaborate stuff after Kate dumped him and he went to Copenhagen with Alex, once he got back to New York. But by then, the FBI had his name, his face, and apparently a lot of other information. They knew he was guilty of bond forgery, and the only reason Neal was able to stay ahead of them was through aliases. They couldn't arrest him because they couldn't find him. But if that's the case, how did they figure out all that other information? And they had to have had some idea at some points, because he was sending them cryptic clues, birthday cards, and cookies, and Peter has mentioned places where he knew Neal was. And where does Sara fit in? How long did he spend on his own? When did he start working with Keller? When did he do half the things that he mentioned in the series? "Forging Bonds" took place eight years after Neal first came to New York. Four years of that were taken up by prison, and maybe another year with the FBI. It's kind of hard to fit everything else we know about Neal's past and his relationship with Peter into the three years that are left.

Briefcase Full of Money Subverted in "Front Man," in which Neal and Mozzie run a scam to obtain a titanium briefcase filled not with cash, but high-limit credit cards. In "Withdrawal", four bankrobbers use briefcases to carry away their loot. But Neal realizes that the total amount of cash stolen couldn't have fit into the eight cases seen on the security video. Implying the existence of a fifth robber, whose share was left hidden inside the bank. In "Unfinished Business" we see one which boggles even Neal's mind; "Samurai Bonds" - Extremely high-value non-government Japanese bearer bonds:

Lie Detector: Neal is given polygraph testing twice. In "In the Red", when Sara questions him about Mozzie's break-in at her apartment, he uses a thumbtack on his skin to alter his responses. In "On Guard", when Peter questions him about the missing Nazi treasure, Neal just sticks with the truth: he didn't steal it, and (as of that moment) he has no idea who did. Fortunately Peter doesn't think to ask if Neal knows where the treasure is...

When Neal finds them, Mozzie exclaims he's a midwife. Also counts as a Chekhov's Skill, because he'd previously talked about delivering "so many babies in my cab, I count as a midwife!". I guess doing it for Lady Suit makes it official.

Incredibly Lame Pun: Halfway through season three. And early in season four, when Peter has Neal seduce a widow so they can catch her husband's business partner for the murder of said husband. Peter gives a lot of them, much to the chagrin of his coworkers. When Neal impersonates a substitute teacher in "Upper West Side Story", "Textbook behavior, Neal." In the same episode, Neal tells Peter the next day's lesson is on Dickens. Peter replies, "Someone has Great Expectations." When Neal needs a quick alias while Peter's thinking about fake prosthetics, "Thank you for your time Mr.... Armstrong. Neal." Followed by "At least it's better than 'Neal Hand..leman'" and "I should have gone with 'Eye-senhower'".

Easily Forgiven: Subverted: "Checkmate" has Peter let go of the fact that Neal kept the gold Mozzie stole while looking for Elizabeth. The next episode is driven by Neal's attempts to get back in Peter's good graces. Neal does get mad at Peter for meeting Kate behind his back, but even after she's murdered, he is not pissed at Peter for not only failing to save Kate when he had the chance, but frequently telling Neal that Kate was betraying him based off speculation.

Product Placement A particularly glaring example is found in "Out of the Box", where Peter receives a phone call on his Ford's touchscreen, which we've never seen before. He then asks for a traffic report, notes that there's an accident on Park Avenue... and after the very next cut is walking through the door. Even more glaring in "Payback", where for no apparent reason, Neal and Diana have a conversation about the picture of a tree on Diana's dashboard that shows the fuel efficiency of her hybrid. In "The Portrait", Peter's driving is helped out a lot by the proximity alerts: "It's a Taurus, it can take care of itself." Everyone has a nice and shiny HP laptop or desktop computer and whenever Neal orders a drink, it's always Ketel One.

Series Fauxnale: The negotiations for the sixth season were ... long.

They got renewed, so with Status Quo Is God, they pulled that back. That the show was wrapping up is also clear in how short the sixth season is, with only six episodes.

Running Gag

comment
Running Gag: There's a few: Peter being a crap liar when it comes to women. Peter's kryptonite — women crying. Neal not expecting Peter to know the details of his past crimes, and Peter revealing he knows almost everything. Regarding said crimes, Neal keeps referring to certain crimes as allegedly being done by him. Nobody bats an eye anymore. Hughes using the two-fingered, "You! Here. Now." gesture, and both Bancroft and Peter picking up on its use. In a later episode, Neal ends up having to impersonate Peter to keep a witness from turning tail. He utilizes the two-fingered-summon the moment he's able to. Peter remarks that Neal doesn't even need the guy he's calling; he's just doing it because he can. Mozzie calling Peter "the suit", Elizabeth "Mrs. Suit" and Diana "Lady Suit". And even further... In "Deadline", Mozzie refers Diana's girlfriend Christie as "Ms. Lady Suit," and is promptly corrected to "Dr. Lady Suit" by Neal. When Peter's promoted to Hughes' former position, he continues using the two-fingered point. Neal gets a new handler in Season 5 as Peter is being promoted. His new handler is promptly christened by Mozzie as "Suit the Sequel" and "Suit 2.0". Mozzie bringing blank to a blank fight. From early in the series: "I'll be fine, as long as I don't get the Death Tile." "There's a death tile?" Mozzie's paranoia, especially the "Mockingbird in the park" code that he makes everyone go through in order to 'secretly' meet with him. Diana, Peter and Alex are all put through his convoluted use of absurd secret codes. He even gets called out on using a voice changer, at one point. All of their reactions to being asked to play along with him are variations of, "I can't believe I'm doing this".

Artistic License – Physics: Fractal antennas like the one from the second half of the second season are used all over the place, but they're not good only at a specific frequency. Just the opposite; a regular antenna has to be cut to a specific frequency and is only good there. Fractal antennas are good wideband receivers capable of operating over a wide range of frequencies, hence why they're used all over the place.

Brick Joke: At the end of "Need to Know", Neal comments that he expected Peter's mustache to be more Magnum, P.I. and less Mario (or Mario Andretti) and was thus disappointed. Guess what he calls Peter when he goes on the run. And in the flashback episode, we see the mustache again! Another example: Neal knows that it's Peter knocking on his door because mostly, it's only Peter and Mozzie who come around, and Mozzie has apparently started knocking in iambic pentameter. Several episodes later, Mozzie knocks on Neal's door ten times, with an iambic pattern of stressed and unstressed knocks. In Upper West Side Story, Neal and Mozzie are trying to help a teenage boy get a girl to notice him. Neal tells Mozzie that the girl, Chloe, is obsessed with Romeo and Juliet, and compares Mozzie to the helpful old friar trying to bring the lovers together. Mozzie remarks, "Sans vial of poison." Later in that same episode, he has to create a chemical compound for Neal to use as a distraction so he can free Peter from the bad guys. Mozzie hands Neal a small glass bottle and says, "It turns out, I did need a vial." When Mozzie first meets Peter, he pretends to be at the house to have drinks and play Parcheesi with June. In a later episode, he and June do exactly that.

Pet the Dog: If Peter is late home from work, the family dog Satchmo will eat at his share, at the table no less. Also the Mob Don in episode 3. Also, when they have to take Satchmo to the vet after he eats Burke's handcuff key, Elizabeth forces Burke to apologize to the dog for leaving his key out where Satchmo could reach it.

Fauxshadow: In the series finale, we finally get played. Neal's Batman Gambit involves a gun... but it involves a bulletproof vest, too..
