Patrick Jane (series star SIMON BAKER), an independent consultant with the California Bureau of Investigation (CBI), has a remarkable track record for solving serious crimes by using his razor sharp skills of observation. Notorious for his lack of protocol and past as a sham psychic, Jane's got a remarkable track record for solving serious crimes with his razor sharp skills of observation. With a little more edge and a lot more office dynamics, the California Bureau of Investigation's supersleuth solves case after case like a cat among the procedural pigeons! Highlighting new faces and a series of roadblocks, both personal and professional, season two of THE MENTALIST delves not only into the shadows of Patrick Jane's well-concealed past, but also the personal histories and dynamics of the other CBI team members -- including Senior Agent TERESA LISBON (Robin Tunney) and agents KIMBALL CHO (Tim Kang), WAYNE RIGSBY (Owain Yeoman) and rookie member GRACE VAN PELT (Amanda Righetti).
