The Mentalist	comment	The Mentalist is a crime drama series created by Bruno Heller that aired from 2008 to 2015 on CBS.Patrick Jane (Simon Baker) is a consultant for the California Bureau of Investigation, but rather than using knowledge of applied sciences, he uses the knowledge of human behavior. Armed with only the Sherlock Scan, suggestions and hypnosis, Jane often reveals overlooked details to the amusement of his team, when he's not keeping them in the dark for kicks. He used to claim that he was psychic by using these abilities, until he "read" a serial killer named "Red John". Insulted, Red John killed his family and left a note calling him out for this.Leading the team is Agent Teresa Lisbon (Robin Tunney), who, when not blasting him for breaking protocol (or flirting with him), accepts Jane as very useful for closing cases. Rounding out the team are Agents Kimball Cho (Tim Kang), Wayne Rigsby (Owain Yeoman), and rookie Grace Van Pelt (Amanda Righetti).That's the first five seasons, anyway. In the middle of season six, the show undergoes a massive retool at the conclusion of the first Myth Arc. The CBI is disbanded, Rigsby and van Pelt leave the series, and Jane, Lisbon, and Cho go to work for the FBI, where they join Dennis Abbott (Rockmond Dunbar), Kim Fischer (Emily Swallow), and Jason Wylie (Joe Adler) of the Austin, Texas field office. When the Kim Fischer character proved unpopular with fans, a new female agent, Michelle Vega (Josie Loren), was brought in for the program's final season.On May 10, 2014, the series was renewed for a seventh season. However, it was also announced that the episode order was limited, and the show was canceled following this final season. The series ended on February 18, 2015 with a two-hour finale. Though there was talk of the show possibly finding a new home on cable, with the various resolutions the characters received, that seems unlikely.Put character tropes here, please.

For someone who spent most of the series as a Smug Snake and a Sadist who took delight in murdering people, when Jane finally finds him and shoots him, Red John is downright terrified of Jane killing him. He does everything he can to avoid death, from trying to convince Jane that he's too good of a person to commit murder, to making a run for it and collapsing when the bullet wound takes its toll, to calling 911 in a vain attempt to save himself, to flat-out begging Jane to spare his life. It doesn't work, and Jane even calls him out for his behavior.

It is possible Jane needs to mentally prepare himself before seeing a dead body, or seeing multiple dead bodies triggers flashbacks of finding his family.

The Mentalist / int_14beeefd	comment	Darker and Edgier: If you compare this show to other police procedurals. His constant dickery aside, this show is about Jane's quest for vengeance. He's not actually interested about justice, truth, and law enforcement. All Patrick Jane wants is to murder the murderer of his family. Contrast Psych, especially. Two shows with basically the same premise, but Shawn is happy-go-lucky and solves crimes for fun and profit, where Jane is troubled and self-hating, only using his position at CBI as a means to find Red John. This has now happened in-show as well. Whereas previous seasons have been more of the "victim of the week" type with the Red John arc blended in, the end of season 5 and the beginning of season 6 have been almost exclusively about the hunt for Red John.

The Mentalist / int_19851b86	comment	The Sociopath: It's a crime show, so this is to be expected, but of particular interest is one episode in which they have friendly chat about the titular character meeting the criteria for antisocial personality disorder. That said, only about 3 of the 7 or 20-odd points (depending on which checklist they used) of the criteria are mentioned, and he is incorrectly scored on the "Glibness/Superficial Charm" bit—he might fit that, but it's the "superficial" part that's important, not the "charm" part, and the fact that Jane is willing to use his charm to manipulate others is mitigated by the fact that he is also simply charming by nature. The fact that he was clearly in love with is wife and feels guilty about her death also makes it impossible for him to be a sociopath. He very clearly empathizes, especially with the grieving, goes out of his way to comfort those he feels are in real pain and is extremely...annoyed with those who fake it.

In the season 6 premier while he goads a confession out of the kill it causes the man to take him hostage (with a second gun Jane hadn't known about) and shoot a cop. In the season 6 finale, Jane is revealed to have sent a fake letter supposedly from the killer, with a clue leading back to the hotel room (doing this partially as an excuse to spend time with Lisbon). The killer arrives with an accomplice and a gun after Lisbon has had a fight with Jane and left him alone up there, and two other suspects (the victim's lover and a young man who was Convicted by Public Opinion) also show up, waving around guns and wanting to shoot the killer. This causes Jane to grumble that in retrospect, he made the clue too easy.

The Mentalist / int_1c5002bc	comment	The Stoic: Cho. We're not sure if he's actually capable of facial expressions. To be fair to Cho, in the first seven episodes or so he actually smiled. For some reason, his ability to emote has been severely reduced over the seasons. He's finally called out for that in "Pink Tops". A witness isn't intimidated by Cho's attitude and demands some courtesy if she is to talk with him. At the end of the episode, when Cho finally defrosts on her, she is willing to become an informant. Agent Michelle Vega coaxes a few smiles out of the stoic Cho in seventh season episodes, making her death in "Nothing Gold Can Stay" all the more heartbreaking for him. What makes it even worse, he also shows emotion in response to her death, really driving home how hard it's hitting him. Cho is also all smiles at the wedding of Jane and Lisbon in the series finale, suggesting his stoicism is something he chooses to do on the job, rather than him being incapable of anything else.

Nobody ever finds out about her involvement and the pushover is expelled with his whole life derailed over the guilt, while the unpopular kid is so devastated he spirals into depression and ends up committing suicide years later. When the pushover has gotten his life together 20 years later and determined to finally confess the truth of what happened by crashing the reunion, she kills him to keep her part in it from getting out and causing a scandal that would mess up her own career and public image. Jane obviously enjoys breaking her, possibly because he was once a father.

The Mentalist / int_1f6983f7	type	Ambiguous Situation
The Mentalist / int_1f6983f7	comment	Ambiguous Situation: In The Red Barn, while he was a pretty scummy guy overall, there's some ambiguity over whether or not the third farm overseer had any complicity or involvement with the first Red John murders. In Bloodsport, it's somewhat unclear whether the victim did have an affair with MMA fighter Manny Flacco. The person this claim comes from is Flaco's grudge-holding opponent. When Flacco denies it, his wife seems to suspect otherwise, pointing out previous affairs he's had. The victim's conduct in the flashbacks prior to her being killed never explicitly suggest this though, and since it wasn't involved with the murder, the answer remains unclear. In the season 6 episode Red John, we never truly find out how Red John managed to figure out Jane's list of 7 suspects months before Jane did. Red John claims that he knew about the list because he's psychic, but considering that he's telling this to Jane right before Jane strangles him, it's debatable about whether or not he's being truthful or is saying whatever he has to in order to save his own skin.

They two of them were working together on the assignment, and it was purest luck that Grace rather than Wayne had been the one to get shot. The bulletproof vest had just saved her life; if Wayne had opened the door Grace had, he would have died. New team leader Kimball Cho delivers a dope slap to the back of Agent Jason Wylie's head in the series finale when Wylie requests a transfer because he doesn't think he's that good in the field. Cho then asks Wylie to stay with the team.

In the Season 4 episode "Pink Champagne on Ice", a woman who is planning to rob a casino kills her accomplice, finding him too evil as he laughs about killing the roommate of the girl he kidnapped as a hostage. The woman, Trish, is prepared to kill the hostage and two people who can recognize her despite them giving her the money. She says she would have felt terrible about it though. Played straight in season 5 episode 12, when Tommy Volker and a hired hitman drive up to an apartment building to murder a witness to a previous murder done under Tommy's orders. When the hitman discovers that said witness is a nine-year-old boy, he immediately rejects the job, saying he's never killed a child before and he's certainly not going to start now.

The Mentalist / int_3322dd48	type	Hollywood Law
The Mentalist / int_3322dd48	comment	Hollywood Law: About 80% of the cases Jane closes would be thrown out of court in real life because he used some form of coercion or intimidation to get the suspect to confess and/or reveal the location of key evidence (in particular, the episode "Blood in, Blood Out" would really have ended with the killer walking and Jane, Rigsby, and Cho being brought up on assault charges). Not to mention how many times they handle evidence without properly documenting it or handling it with gloves. A defense lawyer would've had a field day with how much they contaminated the crime scenes. In "Red Listed", it is revealed that, due to Jane's antics on cases, a few criminals ended up being acquitted or having their cases dismissed. In one episode a hitman—a psychopathic, sadistic hitman who had been killing for years, no less—is released on the technicality that Jane uncovered the evidence leading to his arrest by illegally breaking into his apartment, thus forcing the judge to declare all subsequent evidence Fruit of the Poisonous Tree. This would never work in Real Life and would, at worst, have led to a new trial, if that; the evidence itself included video tape of the murder, a confession, and entrapment of him being hired by Van Pelt to kill somebody. Such a sociopath would never be released so easily. Justified in a sense. At that point, still halfway through the episode, the judge remains one of the possible hitman contractors, so the writers don't want to clinch the real culprit right away. The season 4 premiere takes the cake though; Jane has murdered a man he believed to be Red John, and he is let off because he convinces everyone that the man was Red John. In fact, this and later episodes frequently say that if the guy wasn't Red John Jane is going to prison for the murder. In Real Life, whether or not the man was Red John should be irrelevant—Jane committed murder, and admits to it, with numerous witnesses to the crime. He should go to jail regardless. The only possible way out is if he was found temporarily insane thanks to confronting the man he believed to be his wife and daughter's killer, but that is unlikely since he was illegally carrying an unlicensed gun (specifically to kill Red John), and had announced repeatedly to colleagues and others that he was hunting Red John not to arrest but to kill him. This could, however, fall under the header of jury nullification, which, though legally iffy, does occur. On the flip side, the question of whether or not the man was Red John should have been irrelevant to Jane's side of the matter as well — the issue would be whether Jane had good reason to think he was, and he can reasonably (and truthfully) claim that the man he killed both pretended to be Red John and knew things only Red John would have, which demonstrates that his belief was reasonable, even if it was also ultimately wrong. Averted in Season 4's "Red Rover, Red Rover." Jane's method for getting the murderer to confess to their crimes was to knock them into a coffin and bury them alive, similar to what they did to the victim-of-the-week. While he doesn't kill them, Jane's actions land him in hot water with his boss, who points out that what Jane did was torture and that any confession the murderer made is going to get thrown out because of that. This proves true in later episodes when it's revealed said murderer was out on bail and was looking to be acquitted by a jury only to be killed off by another person before that could happen.

In fact, this pushes Lisbon to finally give Jane a proper, and very much deserved, What the Hell, Hero?. He does it again when, in trying to catch a killer who used a bioweapon to murder someone, he tricked an entire complex full of people into believing that they've been exposed to it. Again, Lisbon is furious. But remember, the fake outbreak was cathartic. Life-affirming. In one episode at a high school reunion, a "popular girl" had manipulated the super-nice pushover guy from school into tying up a nerdy and unpopular boy naked in the girls' locker room and publishing the video online, as revenge for the nerdy kid telling his friends they'd made out. Nobody ever finds out about her involvement and the pushover is expelled with his whole life derailed over the guilt, while the unpopular kid is so devastated he spirals into depression and ends up committing suicide years later. When the pushover has gotten his life together 20 years later and determined to finally confess the truth of what happened by crashing the reunion, she kills him to keep her part in it from getting out and causing a scandal that would mess up her own career and public image. Jane obviously enjoys breaking her, possibly because he was once a father.

Then there's the placeholder at the end of each episode, in which Simon drops the American accent completly.

The Mentalist / int_440d1d0b	comment	Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!: Any number of times. One particularly notable example was "Red John's Friends". Jane is told that he's not allowed to pursue a particular lead regarding Red John because it would piss off some important people, so he chooses to quit. Lisbon and her team are advised it's hands-off, but decide to help him anyway. Minelli threatens to suspend them all, but then decides to look the other way by saying that he's leaving on a personal matter and that they'd better have things wrapped up before he gets back. It's also deconstructed when a competent defense attorney uses Jane's usual behavior to get an ironclad case against a serial killer thrown out in court since due process had been violated. In "Blood for Blood", a preteen confesses to Lisbon and Jane that she killed her father, partly in self-defense (after he turned a gun on her) and partly because he killed her mother. Lisbon wants to take her to Juvenile Hall, but Jane says that if they do that, the girl will just get lost in the system, likely spending months if not years in juvie and/or foster care and getting punished, even if she's acquitted. Lisbon points out that they are part of that system, which is good people that are doing the best they can. Jane, naturally, is not persuaded. Lisbon takes the girl to juvie anyway with Jane in tow, but when she gets there, she simply stands for several seconds before the guy at the desk tells her to hurry it up because they're very busy. The girl tells Lisbon it's okay. Lisbon dithers a bit longer and then tells the desk guy to keep up the good work before taking the girl home. Jane happily tells the guy at the desk that he's just witnessed a beautiful thing.

However, one of those smaller cities, Citrus Heights, was shown as a rural mountain town. Citrus Heights is a flat, overdeveloped suburb in the middle of the Sacramento Valley.

The Mentalist / int_5a310772	comment	Standard Office Setting: The investigating team works for the CBI (California Bureau of Investigation). The headquarters are situated in a nice red brick building with modern interiors full of glass, bricked walls and black furniture. Teresa Lisbon leads the team and has her own office. Other members of the team have a desk at the open space. Patrick Jane doesn't have a desk, but a couch, and he's often seen lying and sleeping on it. A kitchenette is quite essential for him, as he makes and drinks tea all the time. He does have a desk, he just doesn't use it much. Van Pelt has to go through it at one point, and finds a hidden letter that simply says, 'STOP LOOKING IN MY DESK'. In season 6, some of the characters are shifted to work with the FBI. The architecture is even fancier. Jane makes sure he gets his old leather couch to the bullpen, even though it is against the FBI's policy. Teresa often compared the office and its meeting and interrogation rooms to an aquarium.

Jane also makes tea whenever possible, usually when talking to a suspect and sometimes after illegally entering. It's gotten him in serious trouble at least twice, once when a defense attorney presented his fingerprints from a mug as evidence he'd broken in and gotten the entire case against her client thrown out, and another time when the victim's tea had been poisoned leaving Jane himself in serious condition after he brews himself a drink.

In the final season, when they get together as a couple, he can no longer deal with the possibility of her being in danger and twice makes moves specifically to stop it, once placing himself in the line of fire instead.

The Mentalist / int_7360806f	comment	In-Series Nickname: Teresa Lisbon's co-workers at the CBI gave her the nicknames "Mother Teresa" and "Saint Teresa", in reference to one of the cases she solved and to the way she worried over and cared for her team. Patrick Jane once referred to Lisbon as the "Good Witch Glinda" in reference to Glinda from The Wizard of Oz. He seems to have cast himself as Dorothy. Bosco's men called Rigsby and Cho "Bert and Ernie", referring to the Sesame Street characters. Cho liked being called "Ernie" because he says Ernie is the "clever, handsome one". Lisbon's nicknames in her family are "Reese" and "T". Jane's nickname is "Patty". Fellow gang members called the teenage Cho "The Ice Man", because if they wanted something done cold, they got Cho to do it.

In "Panama Red", she returns, noticeably pregnant and engaged to be married. She also shows that she hasn't got any brighter, needing Cho to get her out of legal trouble when she is caught among members of a counterfeiting syndicate during a raid. In the end, she gets married and moves with her new husband and moves to Seattle. Rigsby and van Pelt leave the series during the post-retool Time Skip, opening a computer security company and starting a family. They come back for a brief "old enemy returns" story arc early in the retool, but don't stay in the main cast.

The Mentalist / int_75538142	comment	Friend to All Children: Jane loves children, possibly due to losing his daughter. Lisbon also seems to have a major soft spot. Lisbon actively uses this against Jane in the premiere of the program's third season, bilking him into working on a case he didn't want to work by introducing him to the victim's daughter, who's about the same age Jane's daughter would have been were she alive. It works, and Jane's impressed, but he also tries to make her feel guilty about it for the rest of the episode and says that he's going to have his revenge.

In addition to the little scene at the church where Lisbon pointedly exclaims how much she hates Jane (with her usual amount of "Can't Live with Them, Can't Live Without Them" affection), there's Jane's "Good luck, Teresa. I love you" right before he fakes shooting her multiple times. Of course, when Lisbon asks him what he meant by that, Patrick feigns forgetfulness and asks what he said, because he was a little hyped up at the time and can't remember. Then after she saves him from Red John's girl and goon, they're holding hands. Really, writers? Really? You just love to yank the shippers' chains, don't you?

The Mentalist / int_863fa679	comment	What Happened to the Mouse?: After the season 3 finale, what happens to Special Agent Hightower? Is her name ever cleared? And although Jane states that O'Laughlin is "a known accomplice of Red John", how can he prove that when the only ones who know are Hightower (who is a murder suspect) and Lisbon's team (who found out while conducting an off-the-record investigation)? The team just explains the trail of thought that led Jane to believe they were looking for a Red John accomplice; combined with the fact that he was on La Roche's short list of suspects, that they can link the assassin at the hotel to the info they gave him (with video evidence), and the fact that he killed two cops, makes the case pretty tight. They don't even have to prove he was an ally of Red John, really; the fact that he was a ruthless murderer and was a viable suspect should be enough, especially since fleeing from justice was just faked by Jane. Ultimately resolved in Seasons 6 which confirms Hightower was exonerated but also had to leave the CBI. The psychic Kristina Frye. Red John captures her and apparently Mind Rapes her to the point that she's convinced she's a ghost (Jane has to "hold a seance" to get her to talk to him). We're never explicitly told if she ever recovered or if she's sitting in a padded room somewhere going "BOO!" every time a worker brings her meds, or if she just gave up and died for real. After killing Red John, Jane agrees to help the CBI catch the remaining Blake Association members so he can legally return to America and see Lisbon again. Except that after the agreement is made, the Blake Association is NEVER brought up again. Fans generally assume that he was bluffing about there being other members, but this is unconfirmed. In Red Bulls, Bosco's field team is shown to have eight agents in it (including Bosco) as they prepare to raid a house, but four of them are neither seen or mentioned in the next episode, which has Bosco and the other three members killed by Red John and his accomplice, with dialogue in that and subsequent episodes implying that the whole team was wiped out, although it is possible they were out of town on another case or something, or were a second team brought in for reinforcements for the raid, given how most other CBI teams seem to have just four members throughout the show. In "Violets" there are at least five robbers during the opening scene but only three who arrive for the robbery as part of Jane's sting operation. It's unclear if the others had quit due to someone getting killed or were just busy elsewhere, and whether Abbot was including them when telling the mastermind how they'd captured his whole crew.

The Mentalist / int_8e20979	comment	Wham Episode: Season 2's "His Red Right Hand". Rebecca is revealed to be an accomplice of Red John in the CBI, Bosco and his entire team are killed, Minelli resigns from his position, and it is strongly implied that Jane knows about Rigsby and Van Pelt's secret romance. Season 3's "Strawberries and Cream". Red John is revealed to be hunting down Madeleine Hightower to cover loose ends. Jane blackmails La Roche to get the list of suspects who could possibly be Red John's mole in the CBI. Initially, the team is lead to beleive it's Gale Bertman but it's later revealed to be Craig O'Laughlin who killed Todd Johnson and framed Hightower for it. O'Laughlin kills the police protecting Hightower and injures Lisbon, but Van Pelt and Hightower shoot and kill O'Laughlin. Lisbon then calls the last number O'Laughlin dialed and a man sitting next to Jane answers. Jane deduces that the man is Red John and when he confronts him, he confesses to being him. After a tense conversation, Jane kills the man, and the episode ends with Jane being arrested by security guards at the mall. Season 4's "Scarlett Ribbons" The man Jane killed turned out not to be Red John, but was an accomplice who (along with his wife, Sally Carter) was keeping a girl captive in the basement. Sally is arrested, and Jane uses this to convince the jury that the man he killed was Red John. However, after being freed, he reveals to Lisbon that Red John is still alive. Season 4's "Blinking Red Light". In order to stop Panzer from killing again, Jane manipualtes him into belittling Red John on live TV. The episode ends with Panzer dead, and the signature Red John smiley face painted over his corpse. Season 5's finale: Jane narrows his list of Red John suspects down to seven names, and Red John responds by announcing that he's going to start actively killing again. Season 6's premiere. Jane and Lisbon have an argument, Lisbon gets called to an abandoned house by herself and is captured by Red John. The episode ends as he taunts Jane over her phone and paints his bloody smiley face on her face. Season 6, episode 4. There's an organization of corrupt cops and officials (that may or may not have Red John as a member). They identify with each other using the phrase "tiger tiger". Kirkland, one of the Red John suspects, is killed by Smith another suspect, who is a member of this organization. Season 6, episode 6, "Fire and Brimstone". Jane leaves Lisbon stranded as he rounds up every remaining suspect to check for a tattoo that is allegedly supposed to identify Red John. Three of them have it. A shot is fired and then the house they've gathered in blows up. Season 6, episode 7, "The Great Red Dragon". Three of the Red John suspects are found dead following the explosion. Jane subsequently rules out one of the two survivors, leaving Gale Bertram as the only possibility. When a manhunt for Bertram starts, Dennis Abbott from the Dallas division of the FBI comes in and order the CBI to be shut down due to corruption. Season 6, episode 8: Bertram is revealed to NOT be Red John. One of the suspects faked his own death in the explosion, and he's the real Red John. He kills Bertram and confronts Jane, who shoots him, chases him down, and strangles him to death. The episode ends with Jane going on the run from the FBI. Season 7, episode 10, "Nothing Gold Can Stay". Michelle Vega, the team rookie, is fatally shot.

In an early episode, the Victim of the Week owns a valuable painting which he has on display in his office.

Besides Jane's hunt for Red John, there have been several vengeance killings investigated by the CBI. How the person feels about it afterwards varies - at least one person says it was worth it; another says it doesn't help because her daughter is still dead - but Jane always asks. "Red and Itchy" strongly implies that a vengeful La Roche cut out the tongue of his mother's rapist. Jane gets a faceful himself in Ball of Fire. The daughter of a man he caught and who has since died in prison, has him kidnapped so she can express her feelings with a cattleprod.

After Jane shoots Tanner, who had a gun, to save Lisbon, they both have to go therapy. Lisbon goes to about six sessions with Dr. Carmen, but Jane only has one. This is possibly because Dr. Carmen needed to focus on Lisbon because he planned to frame her for murder. This, understandably, does not make Lisbon any warmer toward therapy. Van Pelt is is seen in therapy after she kills her fiancÃ©. Abbott suggests that Cho go to therapy after the death of Michelle Vega in season seven.

In the season 6 premier, when a suspect he goads into incriminating himself by drawing a gun (which he'd disable) ends up having a second gun, and shooting a cop, Jane does accept responsibility, but refuses to admit about how reckless his actions were, simply calling it, "a good plan that went awry." Quite a few of the mruderers tend to bitterly blame everything on someone else (often the victim for being such a threat to them), with one killer angrily saying that it's all his ex-wife's fault for demanding so much alimony that it drove him to crime. The CBI team are often left visibly unimpressed.

In their eyes, the "Wiccan priestess" on the show was pretentious, irresponsible, and utterly immoral. It goes without saying that, while every religion abhors murder, using magic (considered a sacred gift from the God and Goddess) to murder someone is beyond blasphemy. The characters consider the religion of Wicca and the practice of witchcraft as interchangeable (though this mistake is made in real life too) and have very dismissive opinions on it. Rigsby even goes so far as calling it an "alternative lifestyle, like Star Trek or yoga". Since the "priestess" was an attention-seeking girl with no understanding of the faith she claimed to follow, viewers were not shown any contrast to this image, which is essential in portraying something that most viewers know little to nothing about.

He picks up a number pad and runs through the "Top Ten" passwords to open a panic room/vault. After noticing a picture of a sailboat, he uses the number on the boat's sail. The vault opens, revealing the businessman's dead body. Later, in "Red Moon", Van Pelt asks the Wi-Fi code for the sheriff's office. It's "1234".

The series finale "White Orchids" ends with Jane and Lisbon's wedding. One of the final scenes has their friends and family dancing happily to the song "September". The series ends with the newlyweds glowing with happiness and Teresa telling Patrick she's pregnant.

The Mentalist / int_a70223	comment	Karma Houdini: Red John spends most of the series as this. Whether through his accomplices or circumstances or his intelligence or through sheer luck, he manages to evade Jane's attempts to capture and kill him. This finally comes to an end in season 6. Tommy Volker is one of the few criminals on the show that's managed to pull this off. Despite Lisbon's attempts to link him to the massacre of an Amazon village and the murder of a news reporter who was going to expose Volker's crimes, he manages to escape justice and even kills his secretary for tipping off Lisbon while making her death look like a suicide. He does eventually get his comeuppance though. The dating service woman head (who's also played by Morena Baccarin) hints at the possibility of the jury letting her off scot-free in regards to her husband's murder because her accomplice who was going to testify against her was unstable. Subverted in a later episode, when we discover that they didn't and she's in jail, then Double Subverted when she escapes and flees to a tropical paradise.

The Mentalist / int_a8559a9f	comment	The season 4 premiere takes the cake though; Jane has murdered a man he believed to be Red John, and he is let off because he convinces everyone that the man was Red John. In fact, this and later episodes frequently say that if the guy wasn't Red John Jane is going to prison for the murder. In Real Life, whether or not the man was Red John should be irrelevant—Jane committed murder, and admits to it, with numerous witnesses to the crime. He should go to jail regardless. The only possible way out is if he was found temporarily insane thanks to confronting the man he believed to be his wife and daughter's killer, but that is unlikely since he was illegally carrying an unlicensed gun (specifically to kill Red John), and had announced repeatedly to colleagues and others that he was hunting Red John not to arrest but to kill him. This could, however, fall under the header of jury nullification, which, though legally iffy, does occur. On the flip side, the question of whether or not the man was Red John should have been irrelevant to Jane's side of the matter as well — the issue would be whether Jane had good reason to think he was, and he can reasonably (and truthfully) claim that the man he killed both pretended to be Red John and knew things only Red John would have, which demonstrates that his belief was reasonable, even if it was also ultimately wrong.

It's most obviously exemplified by the attitudes towards Red John — the CBI naturally want to arrest and imprison him, but Jane makes no secret of the fact that if he gets his hands on Red John first he fully intends to kill him in revenge for murdering his family. The 'good' side tends to win out more than the 'lawful' side.

Being held at gunpoint upsets him visibly more than it does the other characters (who in fairness, are cops, and thus have an excuse for being unusually composed) and he handles guns very, very carefully when he handles them at all. This makes the few times he does use them—in season one to save Lisbon's life and in season three in an attempt to exact his vengeance on Red John—a bit more shocking. Not to mention his final showdown with the real Red John. Shooting him in the abdomen while standing right in front of him is one thing, but the way he then dealt with his goon looked like he knows what he is doing. Where we all conned into believing he doesn't know how to handle guns?

Savvy viewers will recognize this as a hallmark of Red John and his followers. Fast-forward to the season finale, and it turns out that Bertram isn't Red John's inside man after all. However, we find out in "Fire and Brimstone" that Bertram is part of Red John's criminal syndicate called the Blake Association, so this ends up foreshadowing how the Red John arc finally ends.

The Mentalist / int_c76f81b8	comment	Non-Idle Rich: It can be assumed Patrick Jane made a lot of money during his years as a psychic. At the end of "Blood Money", he only looks slightly put out at having to pay $16,000 in court fines. He still wants to go to the range with Lisbon and shoot something. This is certainly not the first time it's been hinted that Jane has some serious riches. In an episode in the first season, he won $250,000 at blackjack by memorizing cards and blew a large amount (if not all) of it on expensive gifts for the team. Later, he won $300,000 in poker and donated that to pay for the operation of the mother of one people who had been investigated in the case. Not to mention that when the team rejected his expensive gifts of jewellery, instead of taking them back and getting a refund or selling them on, he put them into a donations bin for a charity store. In season three, Jane doesn't blink at dropping a total of $15,000 on horse racing. The first bet of $5k netted him only a few hundred dollars in return, but he got the satisfaction of besting a man who'd been rude to him. The payoff was worth it. The season 4 premiere hints at his financial limits; Jane needs to get his hands on a million dollars, and while he does, he has to play high-stakes poker to get it, so presumably he's either not a millionaire or is, but not so much of one that he can just casually throw that kind of money around. Jane is able to purchase outright 24 acres of prime Texas hill country real estate for his future home in the series finale and a large diamond engagement ring in a platinum setting. Earlier in the season, Cho says outright that Jane "got rich" in the phony psychic business. His wealth has apparently not been significantly diminished.

Flashback to the start of the current case, in which a local police chief, Chief Donner, is telling Lisbon "My people can handle this, no problem" and then Jane pisses him off by telling him "Cheap soap, un-ironed shirt, stomach pains, recent loss of weight. I'm gonna take a wild guess here. You're angry because you're living in a motel. Your wife found out about the woman you're having an affair with. You're a seething mass of self-loathing, and understandably so." "Cackle-bladder Blood" opens with Patrick Jane being found with a dead body and holding a gun, his story being that he heard a commotion and found the dead body and he took the gun, not being good with forensics. Lisbon manages to finagle things so that the CBI is on the case and to get Jane released, telling the detective "I am reaching out to you Detective, I know this man and I know he's telling the truth about what happened."

FBI Agent Marcus Pike, erstwhile (and very briefly) fiancÃ© of Teresa Lisbon, was jettisoned offscreen following the events of the sixth season finale, clearing the way for Jane and Lisbon to begin a relationship. Lisbon says "he'll understand". The dumped Pike returns in the seventh season opener "Nothing But Blue Skies" to snark at Jane about whether his long-term plans for Lisbon will measure up to the home, family, and happy future Pike was offering her. Agent Kim Fischer was Put on a Bus in between seasons six and seven. Fischer was apparently brought on as a possible romantic interest for Patrick Jane in the middle of the sixth season. Negative reaction to the character and to the possibility of a love triangle between Jane, Fischer, and Lisbon resulted in a quick turn-around for the storyline in later episodes of the sixth season. In the season seven opener, it was mentioned that Fischer had transferred to Seattle to take care of her sick mother.

At the end of "Red Rover, Red Rover", CBI Director Wainright suspends Jane for psychologically torturing a confession out of the Killer of the Week. When Jane mouths off, Wainright fires him. Which naturally turns out to be the setup for another Batman Gambit to catch Red John. And RJ sees it coming.

Red John, too, who "has no allies, only pawns". At least two serial killers have a connection to him, and he had a mole in the CBI. He also spies on them via their own security cameras. He also has some kind of connection with the cult Visualize, which directed CBI to one of his abducted victims. When he finally reveals how he did it, it's even more clever than had been implied He created the Blake Association, ostensibly a network of crooked law enforcement officers covering for each other, giving him an entire network of people to do his dirty work without any of them knowing they're under the thumb of a serial killer.

The Mentalist / int_d8afec40	type	â€¦But He Sounds Handsome
The Mentalist / int_d8afec40	comment	â€¦But He Sounds Handsome: In "Blinking Red Light," the CBI team catches the case of a young girl who has been found murdered, her throat slit. It quickly becomes clear that she was most likely killed by a serial killer known as the "San Joaquin Killer," a brutal serial killer who has already killed several other young women in the area. During the course of the investigation, Patrick Jane encounters a blogger named James Panzer who is obsessed with the case. He tells Jane that the killer is a "purist," based on the way that he slits the victims' throats slowly and watches the life drain out of their eyes. Later, Jane returns to him, saying that he thinks he's wrong - that the killer isn't a purist at all, but rather someone who was deeply damaged during childhood and kills out of a need for attention. Panzer replies that Jane couldn't be more wrong, that the San Joauqin Killer is a "genius" who has run circles around the police. Jane recognizes that he is talking about himself. After his first attempt to catch Panzer fails, he manipulates him into appearing on a TV show and making similar statements. More importantly, he gets him to talk smack about Red John, the serial killer who killed Patrick Jane's wife and daughter, because Jane had himself talked him down on television. Of course, Red John promptly kills James Panzer.

Although he may have been an atheist before since he was a secretly fake psychic before the murders. In fact, this is what got his family killed, so it explains his hostility to such beliefs. And when another psychic "successfully" guesses a few things and tells him about the murders, he breaks down defeated and crying. One of the few times he openly wavers on the issue is the episode that ends with Jane and his brother-in-law visiting Jane's wife's grave. His brother-in-law, Danny Ruskin, asks if Jane thinks Angela can see them. After a long moment, Jane whispers very softly, "Maybe." His own mind calls him out on this in "Devil's Cherry", in the shape of his daughter, Charlotte Anne Jane.

Van Pelt asked what this meant, to which Lisbon responded, "A red herring is what you look into regardless of what Jane tells you." There was also a second season episode titled "Red Herring". Subverted with Bertram. About midway through the third season, in the episode where Hightower is framed and Jane helps her escape, Director Bertram quotes a William Blake poem. Savvy viewers will recognize this as a hallmark of Red John and his followers. Fast-forward to the season finale, and it turns out that Bertram isn't Red John's inside man after all. However, we find out in "Fire and Brimstone" that Bertram is part of Red John's criminal syndicate called the Blake Association, so this ends up foreshadowing how the Red John arc finally ends.

The Mentalist / int_e9604359	comment	Season 4, "Blinking Red Light". Jane basically pits Red John and the Monster of the Week against each other. How? By belittling the attention-hungry monster in comparison with Red John, he tricks the monster into badmouthing Red John on TV (like Jane had done in the past), which causes the pissed-off Red John (who doesn't tolerate public slander) to kill that monster as retaliation. With this gambit, Jane manages to both kill the monster and force Red John to resurface. Seems to be a case of Out-Gambitted. Red John never cared a whit that anyone thought he was dead and probably knew that Jane thought he was manipulating him; Red John has taken the opportunity to mess with Jane further by stalking the FBI agent investigating the murder and, later, killing the morgue assistant who let Jane bring Red John's blind ex-girlfriend in to confirm that the fake Red John Jane killed was not Red John (confused yet?) and dumping the body in his blind ex's house for the police to find. He has taken to directly taunting Jane via webcam and other means, and the FBI agent he is stalking rightly suspects Jane covered up the fact that Red John was still alive, so Jane might go to jail for his convoluted scheming.

The Mentalist / int_f2d8e3c2	comment	Evil Plan: Red John's plans to thwart the CBI nearly always involve these. The most evil one was in the season 3 finale. By sending an accomplice who pretends to be him to meet Jane, Red John essentially gives Jane a damned-if-you-do-damned-if-you-don't option. One, Jane kills the accomplice, but ends up in prison. Two, Jane doesn't kill the accomplice, but rots himself with the guilt of missing his best shot at (what he thought was) Red John. Thankfully, Jane survives the battle, and the war goes on.

Several years later, he has made many friends, his life is stable, he has found Red John, and he is not only married to Teresa Lisbon, but she is also pregnant.

Instead, she forced him to put on his Santa costume and pushed him off the roof of the building, drawing a huge amount of attention to the death—which still might have been passed off as a drunken accident if she hadn't also planted a suicide note, which the police took all of five minutes to confirm wasn't in the victim's handwriting.

Patrick accidentally poisons himself with tea infused with belladonna, causing him to have hallucinations—including one of an aged-up version of his dead daughter, Charlotte. While it's actually useful in solving the case, the episode does not fail to make it clear that intentionally indulging in hallucinogens (especially toxic ones like belladonna) is hazardous to your physical and mental health. Jane was also already onto the answer before the belladonna took effect—he just had to go through his hallucinations to remember what he was trying to tell himself.

The Mentalist / int_f9f2c33	comment	Running Gag: Jane loves to point out that he's not actually a cop, just a consultant. In a Mythology Gag, in an episode showing Jane's very first case before he was formally hired by the CBI, Lisbon introduced him to a group of suspects as a "consultant". One of Jane's stock tactics is to draw the attention of a large group of people and ask the perp to please raise his or her hand. The point is to tell the perp that the CBI is after him, and so he is more likely to get spooked out and make mistakes. Sometimes Jane gets the CBI to arrest someone because he or she was the only one not looking round to see who else might raise a hand. Jane telling suspects being interviewed that they can go, only for one of the other staff to point out that he doesn't have the authority to tell them that and that suspect can only go when they say so. Expect Jane to get punched in the face after pushing someone too far at least once a season, if not more.

Van Pelt mentions that he lives in Palm Desert and Jane, with notable interest, asks "Palm Desert, California?" Lisbon, realizing what he's thinking, immediately replies "No." "Palm Desert's not in California?" asks Jane. "No, you can't sneak off and try to talk to Sonny Battaglia!" replies Lisbon. Jane gives a giggle and says that he thought that she meant that Palm Desert wasn't in California. "It is in California, right?" The scene changes and a subtitle at the bottom of the screen reads "Palm Desert". There is a delay of about two to three seconds, and then "California" appears underneath that.

The Mentalist / int_fed93e1b	comment	Dark and Troubled Past: The only ones that don't have this (that we know of) are the ones who haven't had much of their past revealed. Jane had a morally-ambiguous and insensitive father and his own showboating got his wife and daughter murdered. Unsurprisingly, he's had some issues ever since. Lisbon had an alcoholic father who, after the death of her mother, committed suicide and left her to care for her siblings...though not before spending years having blackouts where he beat the crap out of them. She notably has major trust issues. Cho apparently grew up on the shady side of the law, exposed to a lot of gang violence. He was a member of the gang Avon Park Playboys, where his nickname was "The Iceman", because if the gang wanted something done cold, they got Cho to do it. He later spent some time in juvenile hall and straightened out his life when he joined the U.S. Army's Special Forces. Rigsby's father was a biker and a criminal, which apparently didn't work out so well, as he really hates bikers. Van Pelt grew up in a small town and was judged and held back based on her appearance and gender as a kid. This did not combine well with her ambition, and, for a while, she had trouble taking her focus off her work. It is also strongly hinted someone close to her (e.g., a sister) committed suicide. Lorelei Martins, who knows Red John, had a sister who was sold to another family and was later killed by Red John, though she initially doesn't believe that it was Red John who did it.
