White Collar (Season 1-2)

::Neal Caffery:: VS ::Peter Burke::

They story unfolds when Neal is nearly being out of prison..which is only about a few months left out of a four years' sentence.

His girlfriend show up, saying a threatening goodbye. Being ''awry'' of that, Neal took a desperate escape and this is where Agent Burke stood in the way, caught him for the second time. Thinking out of the box, Neal offer his service to the FBI in turn for a chance to stay 'outside' prison. Henceforth, he could squeeze a way of getting in touch with Kate.

Being with Burke for quite some time, they formed a tie, for which I see that relation, like father and son kind of thing. Neal being in youth, always liked adventure and naughty slacks. While Burke puts him in control, make sure he does not go out of bound.

Following this series until Season 2, I think I can make a bet on the ending. Up to here, its said that Kate was killed in the airplane and Neal's busy chasing after whoever the culprit is. The main suspect was Fowler, the FBI agent who lead Neal to get onto the plane in the first place. And so the controversy goes on.

So far as I'm concerned, seeing that Burke got the most access on Neal's background, and seeing Neal's attitude towards life. What would Kate do? Well, during the three years Neal being dormant in prison, there is just no way she'd do nothing about it. Well, its just a hypothesis. If Kate really want to spend her lifetime with Neal, she wouldn't want it be always on the run, like Neal always used to do. 

[Refer S1EP05 - the call between Neal and Kate]
Kate: Listen, i need you to tell me where you hid everything.

Neal: What?

Kate: The money, the bonds, the art -- all of it.

Neal: Why?

Kate: He wants something -- Something you took, something you hid.

Neal: I hid a lot of things.

Kate: Well, then, give him everything. If he gets what he wants, he'll let me come back to you.

Neal: Who is he?

Kate:
I can't tell you. it's too dangerous for you.
This is the only way you can help me.
You always told me I had to trust you.
Well, now you have to trust me.
I want to come home.
Please just tell me where you hid everything.
I want to come home.

Neal: It's the only leverage I got. Just stay there, okay? I'm coming up.

--and Kate went missing--

Nevertheless, Kate's identity was always being a mystery and hardly revealed.
