Слайд 4Plot
The main charactor is Patrick Jane (Simon Baker), an excellent mentalist, practicing psychologist
and manipulator, who once pretended to be "psychic" and "clairvoyant." Cooperated with the investigation in the capture of a serial killer nicknamed "Bloody John". In a speech on television, he described his psychological portrait as "clairvoyant": "Strangled from childhood, pitiful and lonely." Outraged by such a “lie,” as he himself put it in his message, “Bloody John” killed Patrick's wife and daughter. This happened five years before the events of the first episode of the series.
Now Jane is involved in helping the California Bureau of Investigation (CBI) solve various serious crimes (murders). He categorically denies that magic exists, and argues that everything passed off as magic is just sleight of hand and observation. Providing invaluable assistance to the Bureau, he continues to live on the hope of catching "Bloody John". The fulfillment of "personal revenge" is the main reason for Patrick's cooperation with the KBR, by his own admission.
Слайд 5The main charactor is Patrick Jane
Patrick Jane is a modern day Sherlock Holmes
with an uncanny ability to discern truth or lack thereof. His deductive power is so strong that people believe he does have a sixth sense, even though he constantly tells them: 'There are no psychics.' There is no magic formula in what Patrick does, no supernatural element. He is simply using the highly developed observation skills he previously used to 'read' people's minds. His personality is interesting and sometimes infuriating. He is a frivolous, funny and very cocky person, inclined to ignore any authorities.
Little fact: Patrick loves tea. In almost every episode, he drinks at least one cup of tea.
