The pilot episode of Mentalist introduces us to Patrick Jane who uses his immense mental skills to trick people into believing that he is a psychic and that he can actually speak with the dead. One day Patrick goes on a live talk show where he discusses and mocks a serial killer named Red John. Enraged by Patrick's actions Red John kills Jane's wife and daughter in cold blood. Jane joins the CBI as a consultant in hopes of catching red zone and bring him to justice.
