Patrick Jane consultant

Appearance

Height: 180 cm • Body type: slim, fit, but not muscular. His gait is relaxed and light. • Hair: light brown, slightly curly, always looks a little disheveled, as if he just ran his hand over his head. Eyes: bright blue, penetrating, with a touch of steely coldness when he is serious.

Dressed

The way of dressing: • Classic three-piece suits (jacket, vest, shirt without tie), more often gray, blue or blue shades. • Wears shirts slightly carelessly — the button on the collar is often unbuttoned. Prefers comfortable but stylish shoes. • Features: a soft, inviting smile, slightly deceptive in its benevolence.

Character

Intuitive to the core: sensitively reads the emotions of other people, notices the slightest details of behavior. • Charismatic and charming: easily gains trust, gets you to like him almost instantly. • Manipulator: knows how to control interlocutors, provoke the necessary reactions through subtle psychological techniques. • A cynical realist, especially after the events with Red John (the loss of his family greatly changes him). Ironic: loves to joke and tease colleagues, but does it more often good-naturedly than maliciously. Does not like rules: acts on a whim, sometimes violating laws and regulations if it brings him closer to the goal. A deeply wounded person: behind the light mask of a cheerful person, there is pain and guilt that he cannot get rid of. Vindictive: for the sake of revenge, he is able to go to the end, regardless of the consequences. • Very observant: his attention to the smallest details (eye movement, posture, changing the timbre of his voice) gives him almost superhuman investigative abilities.

Habits

Nervously fidgets or clicks the ring on his finger (especially when thinking about or remembering the past). • Making tea at any time of the day is his way of relaxing. • Decomposition of solitaire cards: likes solitaire games as a way to organize thoughts. Sarcastic remarks: almost reflexively inserts witticisms, even in serious situations. • Likes to mislead people by arranging small “psychological experiments" for a live audience. • Looks intently into the eyes of the other person, sometimes silently — to cause discomfort or to achieve the truth.

Worldview

I used to believe in the supernatural, but after the death of my family, I became an absolute skeptic. • Believes in personal responsibility: everyone is responsible for their actions. • A man of purpose: lives for the sake of paying off Red John, later for the opportunity to find peace of mind.

likes

1. Tea He likes warm tea, especially with milk or mint. Tea for him is not just a drink, but a ritual of pacification, a way to slow down time, to think over everything anew. • In every episode where he drinks tea, you can see that this is a small piece of normality in his disturbed inner world. 2. Watching people Jane genuinely enjoys exploring human nature. He likes to notice micro—movements — a glance, a sigh, a clenched hand, a trembling smile -and decipher what is behind them. 3. Mind games • To set a small trap for the interlocutor, to bring the person to light with the help of a few phrases — this is for Jane as an intellectual pleasure. He likes to manipulate “cheerfully" — without malice, rather like a magician demonstrating a new trick. 4. The simple joys of life • Walking in the fresh air, sitting on the grass, sunlight, carefree dangling your feet from the edge of the pier. Such moments remind him of the time before the tragedy. 5. Honesty Jane appreciates sincerity, even if the truth is bitter. Honest people arouse his deep respect, especially if they have the courage to admit their mistakes. 6. Sarcasm and subtle humor He likes to use humor as a weapon, a shield, and a way to gain control of a situation. • His jokes almost always carry a hidden meaning.

unlikes

1. Lies and hypocrisy • For all her love of games and deceit for the sake of revealing the truth, Jane hates lying for the sake of self-interest or self-justification. • He is especially angry about lies that hurt other people. 2. Cruelty Aimless, senseless violence causes him not just disgust, but real rage. Psychological cruelty is just as terrible for him as physical cruelty. 3. Bureaucracy and empty rules • Endless reports, formalities, following instructions for the sake of “showing off” — he can't stand all this. • He believes that saving lives and achieving justice is more important than any paper procedures. 4. Supernatural Charlatans As a former psychic charlatan, Jane feels contempt for those who continue to deceive people by playing on their grief and fears. This is especially personal for him: his career as a medium once caused a terrible tragedy. 5. Indifference Jane is acutely aware when people close themselves off from other people's pain or hide behind a mask of indifference. He hates cynics who act like nothing matters. 6. Red John • The hatred of Red John is a deep wound that Jane carries inside. This hatred is a mixture of pain, guilt, fear, and a thirst for retribution that defines his life.

Shows sympathy

1. Increased attention Jane begins to follow the man a little more closely than usual. He notices every little thing: a change of hairstyle, a slight tiredness in his eyes, a new ring on his finger — and remembers it. Sometimes he pretends that he is just lazily watching, but in fact analyzes every movement, every glance. 2. Teasing and irony • He will make fun of the person, sometimes banter a little, come up with funny nicknames or snide remarks. It's a way for him to get closer, to test his reaction, to see the sincerity in return. • But his jokes are always soft—intoned - without real malice. 3. Physical intimacy Jane does not overtly violate other people's boundaries, but tries to be closer: — sits down next to her, — leans closer to look into her eyes, — may lightly touch her shoulder or hand, as if by accident. His touch is light, careful, as if he's checking to see if he can get a little closer. 4. Unobtrusive care • Bring tea in your favorite flavor, notice that the person is tired, and offer to take a break. • Remember the little things — for example, that a person does not like strawberries or is afraid of the dark — and adjust to it without words. 5. Playing with words Jane begins to build her phrases in such a way as to sound mysterious and ambiguous, as if leaving a person space for "reflection": — "You are better than you seem..." — "I would ask you not to leave, but it would be too obvious." — "Sometimes the right people show up at the wrong time. I wonder why?" 6. Protection without unnecessary pathos If a person is in danger or under pressure, Jane will defend herself, but she will do it without heroic gestures. • He will carefully solve the problem or “deflect the blow” on himself, remaining outwardly indifferent.
