Patrick Jane is a Cold Bastard

Patrick gets upset over one man's brutal murder by arson, and reveals his own plans for what he'll do if he gets his hands on the man who slaughtered his family

[@greanstreak04]

Throughout the series, Patrick openly shows indifference to the law, the powerful and the petty tyrants. But, he is basically an honest man. He couches the truth carefully within jokes and banter. But when he lies, it's open to the world to see. Beautiful writing, graceful acting. One of the best shows ever...

[@kenzieblowers]

the best show ever

[@crystalm3th573]

Actually nah. He is anything BUT an honest man. Something that Cho mentioned, the death of his family made him a better man, in a sense it humbled him. He was sneaky, manipulative, exploitative, basically a consciousness con man. That’s why very few people respected him until they interacted with him and realized how smart he was. Until then, his reputation was that of a con man, which he was. The only person throughout he seemed to show some loyalty from the beginning, was Lisbon. Not only because she took him in when nobody did, but also because he could tell she’s an honest person with no ulterior motive, his exact opposite.

[@Jagabot_Esq.]

Graceful acting? This show was an open stage for garbage talent to come on and play guest characters. It's like they had a $1000 budget for each new actor for each episode. Maybe 2 times per season they had actual decent guest stars. It really takes away from the great performances done by Baker and Tunney on a regular basis.

What i love about Patrick is he appeared so harmless but he was a dangerous man.

[@dflaming1371]

Unless you were Red John you were not in danger of getting punched or hit or kicked...he'd find something far worse to do to you

[@Johnmag1976]

Not so dangerous. Red John could have killed him 100 times. And without the team, he is so dumb in his relations to people that he could get himself killed several times a week.

[@garryb374]

What I liked in particular were cases where he used his wealth to help. One episode where a woman was working in a casino and stealing money, they questioned her, but she was not their killer and she was stealing money to pay for the care of her sick mother. The last minute of the show Patrick donates money he won at the casino to help the woman pay her hospital bills. I remember other cases where he did nice things for other people involved in cases just to help them out. It seemed nice because after they left the story you sort of forgot about them, but it was nice that his character did something to help instead of forgetting them too.

[@jimhsfbay]

I love the jewelry scenes with the team in that episode. Especially…. I’m keeping it! Me too. That’s my boys!

[@RdtheLiterature]

Lisbon's giving her party line...she's responsible for both jane and the law, but as time goes on she sees that she isn't responsible for jane, he also matures too, and that instead of being his keeper she cares about him and more importantly he cares about her and that he's going to whatever the hell he wants to and no one can stop him. she also saw how awful to him and all of them red john was and probably by that time didn't care...the guy was just a bad human. but lisbon still wouldve done her duty had she been the one to catch him.

[@listrahtes]

@@Xoruam The Nuremberg trials looking back were mostly winners putting the loosers to trial for loosing the war. Its really a slippery slope the US opened there and the blatant hypocrisy regarding their own affairs. For lots of the crimes there was an allied equivalent that wasnt put to trial or huge crimes f.e. by Stalin that no one gave a fuck about. How they decided the judges, what witnesses to hear and whom not had nothing to do with a real legal process. Not that I disagree with putting down some of them but to paint this as a legitimate trial was a farce from the start and political agenda first. If you go by that in most US wars pre ww2 and during the us military would have been stood trial at the end. Read up on Smedley Butler f.e writing about it.

[@Jimbo8012]

As the series progressed, Jane became a much nicer guy particularly after he killed Red John. It seemed that the weight of the world was lifted from his shoulders. You could tell that he really loved Lisbon and cared deeply about Abbott, Cho, Rigsby, Van Pelt and even the more minor characters like Wiley & Vega. I doubt the psychic Jane could have felt much at all. Jane wasn't a psychopath but was definitely a sociopath due to his upbringing and was likely deeply unpleasant until his wife and his child were murdered. Cho was right - his wife's death made him a much nicer person. Jane was a really sweet guy at times in Seasons 6 and 7 - it was great to watch his development as a character. Great TV Series. I just wished they could have done a tie in with Lie to Me. Seeing Jane and Lightman working together would have been awesome.

Mike Hamilton As someone who studied psychology, Jane definitely showed signs of sociopathy, which I think is completely understandable considering his life's tragic journey. However, he also had an incredible understanding of people, which could also be attributed to his upbringing and would have been an important tool for him to protect and sustain himself in a true hard-knock life. All-in-all, he was an amazing character, played amazingly well with boundless evolution and depth.

Jane here in this scene is mostly trying to hammer home how determined he actually is, just to give Lisbon a heads up, but butchery was Red John's forte, not Jane's. Red John would slither in darkness, paralyze the victim and kill them with punctures--he was like a snake. Jane worked like a mongoose: circle tirelessly, taunt the prey into expending its energy on striking out, and then when the serpent is exhausted, go for the throat. The pain is in the fall of power and fear of death. I loved it.

He knows Lisbon and co would have to arrest him, but as far as he's concerned, if Red John is dead by his hand, justice will have been done. No matter how mellowed out or "better" he was being with the team, he never wavered on that..

[@fyrestorme]

Ya.. "cold" Until something like what happened to him happens to you. Then he's your hero and you're shaking his hand and buying him beer.

[@tabithaprovan957]

I think the show did a pretty good job of impressing upon the viewers the importance of upholding justice as a personal moral imperative, rather than merely a perfunctory legal duty. In other words, by the end of Red John's reign of terror, it became clear he had corrupted parts of every organized justice/social system in the state and a little outside. There were even corrupt officials who the team put away that didn't work for Red John. CBI, FBI, local police, Homeland security, social workers, news reporters, state attorneys, anti-human trafficking organizations etc--they all had members who were evil, weak, and loathesome. Jane was motivated by personal reasons, but in his willingness to bend legal boundaries and thwart procedural norms, he became a more faithful servant of true justice than most of his peers were capable of when it came to Red John. What's more is Patrick was able to uncover and bond with his upright colleagues' belief in that moral pliability, no matter how straight-laced they typically were: Bosco killed someone evil and Lisbon helped him cover it up, Hightower faked a hostage situation and went on the run when framed rather than fight in court, Abbott shot a drug cartel member in cold blood, and LaRoche cut the tongue out of his mother's rapist and kept it in a Tupperware container. Even Cho, Rigsby, and Van Pelt knew when they needed to supersede the rules to get real justice. It's a bit unusual for a procedural to stick by this principle so overtly, but I respect them for it even in moments I may still disagree. Justice and legality shouldn't ever be opposed to one another, but this is earth, and we are human, and humans are flawed.

[@smurfyday]

Agreed on all points. Just want to point out, as you know I'm sure, this is fiction. In real life people have biases, selfish motives, unchecked personal flaws, blind spots, and just imperfect info like fog of war. Law enforcement taking the law into their own hands is often dangerous even deadly to the people they're supposed to serve

Good point, I think often when otherwise “good” people feel the need to be sadistic towards the people who wronged them as a “so he can know how the person he killed felt” thing, when they actually get the opportunity watching the bad person suffer isn’t satisfying because that person wouldn’t have done what they did in the first place if they could truly feel the anguish their victims felt

She helped Bosco when he killed a criminal so it's something she could've done for Jane even if no one she cared about had died. But then it wasn't just about Boscos death. Even after that, she told him she would stop him. I think what changed her mind the most was seeing Jane being haunted by RJ and how much he and the rest suffered for all those years. And the last blow was the Blake Association. RJ was never going to pay, he wasn't going to stop killing and leave them alone unless he was killed.

The only difference I can see between justice and vengeance is the person carrying it out.

If you kill someone that has brutally murdered people but you have no personal attachment to those people, it's justice. Ergo, there's no difference.

I do enjoy the playfulness of Patrick but sometimes he can be such an asshole.

Or when that one time Patrick destroyed a code-breaking device for encryption and decryption of sensitive data that was worth millions which upset the person who was working to have to have the device (S2 EP21). I feel like he goes all out to offend every one, sometimes to show his wit and that he's better than every one else and sometimes just for the heck of it.

Jane accomplishes what he does as part of his long game to catch Red John, as well as out of a motivation to show other people that he is smarter, etc. Simon Baker does play the character, at times, as somewhat altruistic and/or genuinely likable. this, no doubt, is to make the character a hero for the audience to root for. the writers may have wanted Baker to play Jane that way, too. in reality, however, those things may be somewhat foreign to Jane's nature. Jane is different from many other people. he is not somewhat different or even quite a bit different. he is, as a psychopath, A LOT different, at least in how he views the world and himself. hence, the need for a constant disguise when around others who see such things differently... i can give some support for this assertion about him always wearing a disguise... do you remember the scene where Cho and him go undercover in a different episode involving the team trying to prevent a crime (murdering the mayor/mass shooting)? in that episode, Cho asks Jane why he isn't wearing a disguise, sort of giving Jane a hard time about it. Jane then repeats the word, "disguise" to himself quietly, in a sort of ironic, amused way. anyway, i, personally, don't sympathize too much with people who are not attached to the truth, although i am fascinated by the people who can pull off such deceit. what i like about Jane is his willingness/ability to think for himself (not conventional), the lesson learned from him that if you are clever enough (unfortunately, i often am not) there may be a solution to just about any problem and how he can amusingly (for the audience) put people in "their place". sorry if i ran on here with my opinions...

Well he himself said that in the season 2 premiere. when the Red John was given to another team he abruptly quit seeing no more reason to be there. he said he'd stick around to see the end of the case they were on and admitted to Lisbon he has nowhere else to go

Why do goats deserve to suffer though?

[@Miant]

Goats don't. Evil human beings do, and in this case, Machado was being described as goat-ish, which was frankly a bad comparison. Goats are rather nice.

[@rocktenlar]

Maybe is was saying goat-ish, more like, in the devil way ?

[@Miant]

Go ask Simon Baker or Bruno Heller so that we have more than our own speculations to go off of.

[@bananian]

Goat as in an innocent person?

[@t.s.5131]

Jim Canterak: you asked a simple, perceptive and somewhat amusing question. they say goat as 'tethered' goats were used in the past as bait. it is the natural stand-in for a non-human, therefore. basically, Jane is saying that Machado is a non-human, which is a rather horrible philosophy when you think about it. the same was said of Jews, etc. still, he is a psychopath and so may actually think that way... if that is the case for the Jane character, it may be one of the few moments in the entire series when he was being honest. the character, himself, although wonderfully talented, is really not a good person, although his actions do often have significant benefits for other people. ultimately, for Jane, those benefits are, probably, incidental. Jane accomplishes what he does as part of his longer game to catch Red John, as well as out of a motivation to show other people that he is smarter, etc. Simon Baker does play the character, at times, as somewhat altruistic and/or genuinely likable. this, no doubt, is to make the character a hero for the audience to root for. the writers may have wanted Baker to play Jane that way, too. in reality, however, those things may be somewhat foreign to Jane's nature.

[@TheSerpent21]

Yeah right, like Red John would face justice from a court. Government would probably intervened and make some excuse to use him for another purpose.

[@SG1Mitchell]

rage might take over. Jane seems to have planned out EXACTLY how brutally he's work this guy over. Obviously Lisbon would stop Jane from killing Red John, even if she had to kill him, which is why I hate the law. There is no justice. Jane is right.

[@Karategirlhorselover]

well i think Patrick doesn't care what happens to him after he kills Red John.... Patrick only cares about catching Red John and killing him so he can get revenge for what Red John did to his family

[@nagihangot6133]

How is that at the end cold? Seems like revenge, a taste considered hot by all standards.

[@nctpti2073]

Vengeance does not undo crimes. One of the great things about the series is how much the CBI people grow and become better officers due to contact with Jane and learning from him, but also how he, over time, becomes a better person from contact with them and learning from them.

[@royaneekhalil6488]

Stating quite simply that you want to cut someone open and watch them die slowly. I quite agree that it is cold (not the first part of the video, though). I also admire that.

Up until red John’s secret society I was 100% on Theresa’s side. The secret society changed things, john was far too dangerous to leave alive.

[@TheBlackManMythLegend]

so bourgeois and conventional and the issue is the character is well written it's not smart it's just an over-the-top player character over the top TV guy but underneath the street guy. that has the toughness built in by a life of crime... did I say over the top?

[@timmooney6910]

Did he ever REALLY find Red John? I stopped watching when it seemed that every step forward was actually two steps back and every suspect was a pawn set up by RJ to take the fall. I’m not trashing the show, I just didn’t have the patience for it I’m just asking because the seems that you know the show well. As for the Lie To Me thing,. That’s what fan fiction is for. That type specifically is called crossover fiction. Like a story where the detectives from Law & Order work a case with the cops from Blue Bloods.

[@SG1Mitchell]

yeah. but honestly the fact that he more of a 'get even' kind of guy is fine with me. He's a normal dude. We all have an 'eye for an eye' mentality. In some its just buried, like with Lisbon. I'll try and post the opening to the season 2 premiere on here shortly. The part in the department store? Check my profile page.

later in this same episode, there is a conversation between Patrick and Tommy about moby dick and revenge.......best scene I would say

I'd do the same Jane, the law don't mean shit, only justice matters. Legal system is corrupt and won't give that, especially not if they have a lawyer who knows how to get around rules.

I realise what I hated about the video quality of the early seasons. The lighting was too dark and the camera was up in everyones face. Those extreme close ups should only really be used for dramatic scenes not the casual scene.

[@larmedelune3800]

what's the difference between vengeance and justice? In justice your goal is to give the sense of relief to the affected party/the victim; vengeance on the other hand is the desire to make the perpetrator suffer... basically justice is borne of sympathy for the victim whilst vengeance is borne out of anger to the perpetrator..

It still bothers me that after all of that, he just strangled Red John instead of doing what he said he would do.

[@mortimerbrewster3671]

To be fair, Patrick had the FBI on his tail. He didn't have a whole lot of time to carry out what he wanted and would we have really loved him as much if he had been that psychotic? Strangling someone to death is still a pretty cold way to kill them. I would have been disappointed if he had just shot him.

jane did cut red john open by shooting him and letting him bleed out. he also killed him slowly by asking him important questions before choking him out.

Strangling Red John to death wasn't near enough punishment for what that piece of shit did to Jane's family.
