Recap / White Collar S 03 E 11 Checkmate

Go To

Keller has kidnapped Elizabeth. Fuck everything else. Drop everything else. Shoot everything else to death with tiny fast acting but painful poison darts. Elizabeth will be safe.


Tropes:

  • Damsel out of Distress: Elizabeth gets herself out of captivity by playing on her guard's anxiety about his dog bite to make him go out to buy medicine, then scratches up the "shatterproof" window enough to break it and escape via fire escape.
  • I Have Your Wife: Keller kidnapped Elizabeth.
  • Pet the Dog: Mozzie makes it clear that he's willing to give up his "last and biggest" score in order to save Elizabeth.
  • Taking the Heat: Neal is ready to confess about hiding the art and return to prison, but Keller beats him to it in order to square things with the Russians.
  • Underestimating Badassery: Keller's smart, no doubt. But he's not as smart as Neal and Mozzie and Peter and the entire FBI. Smart enough to mostly get away with it, but not smart enough to get away. Also, Elizabeth isn't the princess; she's the pea that spends a week ruining the princess.
