    Witchcraft

    When the teenager Cody Ellis goes missing, Patrick and the CBI team look for him. Patrick finds the body in a nearby wood, apparently victim of black magic sacrifice. Lisbon and Patrick interview Cody's parents and brother, and they believe the Wiccan witch Tamzin Dove is the responsible for the sacrifice. They also investigate the coach Dieter, who is a violent man. But Patrick also talks to Cody's brother and once again disclose the mystery.

    "Red Rum" is a tragicomic episode of "The Mentalist". Tamzin Dove is very funny and the identity of the killer is a great surprise. My vote is seven.

    Title (Brazil): "Red Rum"

      Jane uses a single paper clip to pick the lock. Lock picking requires two tools, one to jiggle the tumblers and the second, stiffer tool, to turn the barrel.

      Kimball Cho: Look, a goat. Goats are signs of Satan.

      Teresa Lisbon: So petting zoos are like gateways to Hell?

      Kimball Cho: Pretty much.
