@itzhsm_: Seems to be working 😎 #thementalist #thementalistedit #patrickjane In The Mentalist Season 3, Episode 6 ("Pink Chanel Suit"), the confrontation at the security gate with Marcus Whiteside serves two important purposes: it introduces Marcus's personality and gives Patrick Jane an early clue about the case. When the CBI arrives at Judge Fitzwilliam's estate, security chief Marcus Whiteside insists that everyone, including the agents, pass through the metal detector. Patrick Jane deliberately challenges him by asking if he follows the same rule himself, and Marcus immediately proves that he does. Jane uses the exchange to assess Marcus's character and the estate's security, realizing that the strict procedures make the crime much more difficult to explain.
