TEXT: Street Libson: Captain. Captain: Agent Lisbon. Don't think we'll be needing you guys. We like the neighbour kid who found the body. Libson: Did he confess? Captain: Eh, he's a real squirrel. I'd say... Voice [off-screen]: Mercy's father would like to give a brief statement. Morgan: I just want to take a moment and thank everyone in law enforcement and all the volunteers who helped us in the search for our beloved daughter. The way that this entire community has come together to support me and Juniper in this terrible time has been a great comfort to us. And now I would just like to ask that you give us some time and space and privacy to grieve for our daughter... Tolliver's house Jane: Hello, Mrs Tolliver. Juniper: Who are you? Jane: My name's Patrick Jane. I'm here to help you. Would you like a cup of tea? Juniper: Yes, I would. Thank you. Jane: You must be tired. Why don't you sit down? It's nice and quiet in here, isn't it? Quiet, soothing, calm. Calm. I've been watching you and your husband and I want you to know that I understand what you're feeling right now. Juniper: You have no idea. Believe me. Jane: I do. I know. I know and I want to help you. Juniper: You can't help me. What do you know? Jane: All sorts of things. You really only pretend to like skiing, right? Juniper: Yes, but... Jane: You're pleased that your best friend recently gained some weight, about ten pounds. You wish you'd been more adventurous when you were younger. You love India, but you've never been there. You have trouble sleeping. Your favourite colour is blue. Juniper: I don't understand. You're... you're psychic? Jane: No. Just paying attention. I used to make a good living pretending to be a psychic. I tell you this because I want you to understand there's no point hiding things from me. Juniper: Hiding what? Jane: You know what I see when I look at your husband? I see
SUMMARY:
When a golf pro's wife and her doctor are murdered in Palm Springs, the California Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is called in to investigate. Patrick Jane, a detective and independent consultant for CBI, uses his razor sharp skills of observation to assist a by-the-book Senior Agent Teresa Lisbon and her team (agents Kimball Cho, Wayne Rigsby and rookie member Grace Van Pelt) in finding the killer. The case poses a particular interest for Jane as the killer's calling card (a red smiley face drawn with the victim's blood) suggests it is the famed "Red John": a serial killer who years ago murdered Jane's wife and daughter. However, after further investigation, Jane's mentalist skills tell him the real killer is trying to pin the murders on "Red John" and the team needs to take a closer look at the other suspects including the golf pro, who was having an affair; his brother, who was sleeping with his brother's wife; and the doctor's business partner, who was embezzling money. And while the team may question Jane's tactics, they know working together with him will help lead them to solving the crime.
