Complete story — includes the ending

As police arrest a burglar whom LaRoche catches searching his home, Jane's car speeds off unnoticed from the scene. Jane visits the CBI detention cell where the burglar, Donny Culpepper, threatens to reveal it was Jane who hired him unless Jane gets him off before his court hearing on Monday. Meanwhile, at an electronics repair shop, the owner Ted Fisher is found murdered and the shop trashed. Lisbon and Rigsby meet Fisher's girlfriend, Heather Blue, at their apartment which has also been broken into. While Fisher told Heather he was in the Peace Corps there is no record of him and an Iraqi man has left a threatening message on his phone. Cho and Rigsby find Cole Ruger and Vivian Griswold pointing guns at each other at Fisher's shop. Ruger reveals he and Fisher were mercenaries and worked overseas including Iraq. Griswold is with corporate espionage and had been tracking Fisher. CBI track down the Iraqi message from Omar Hassan who tells them that Fisher had his family's money (2 million dollars) and was supposed to help him and his family settle down in the US. Jane has the CBI team bring Ruger, Griswold, Omar Hassan, and Heather to Fisher's shop, saying all of them want the $2 million Fisher hid there. Jane has Forensics empty the shop of everything but some furniture and the large floor rug. Everyone leaves, disappointed the money has not been found, except for Heather. When Jane reveals the money is in the form of the valuable rug, she gets him to agree to split the profit 50:50. Jane reveals that when Fisher refused the same deal, intending to honour his promise to Hassan, she killed him. Lisbon forces Jane to come clean and he tells her about Hightower being framed by Red John, and that he hired Culpepper to steal LaRoche's list of suspects from his Todd Johnson murder investigation. One of them (besides Hightower) is Red John's mole in the CBI or it is LaRoche himself. Lisbon fixes the Culpepper problem by punching Culpepper in the presence of his lawyer. This interferes with legal process and automatically causes instant dismissal of the charges. LaRoche punishes Lisbon with one week's suspension plus anger management classes.
