    You call that a search?

    Haven't all those years dealing with criminals taught Lisbon and Cho nothing?

    Everyone knows that you search a bureau from the bottom drawer uo!

    The Sting

    Bill Peterson travels to Mexico to exhume Abbott's victim to seek out the bullet as evidence of his crime and use it to damage Abbott and Lena's careers. Patrick Jane plots a plan with the team to look for evidence that Peterson is corrupt and stashing dirty money from drug busts in his safe. Peterson meets Missy Brammer, the assistant of a congressman, to give her evidence to be used in Lena's hearing.

    "Copper Bullet" is one of the best episodes of "The Mentalist". The plot recalls "The Sting", with a perfect plan created by Patrick Jane to lure Bill Peterson. My vote is nine.

    Title (Brazil): "Copper Bullet"

    I'm both happy and Sad

    I don't know how a writer or actor can make the viewer care about a fictional character, to make the viewer feel happy or sad when the character is happy or sad, The Mentalist however can be a good reference for any writer, showrunner and actor in making the viewers care deeply about characters specially after the two great episodes that we have been given these past two week

    the seventh season in general as pointed out by creator "Bruno Heller" is an encore, meant to be a final hurrah for a great show and unlike other shows, "so far" it doesn't have overly dramatic events or scenes, the writer is not changing the direction of the character, it feels incredibly natural

    an example is The Love between Lisbon and Jane doesn't require over the top sex scenes a simple observation of how they act together is enough

    the ending minutes of this episode was by far one of the greatest scenes of this show with only showing the characters and how happy they are together......I am happy for their happiness but sad that in a few weeks, this show is gonna end.....

    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Goofs
      A Congressman has nothing to do with the confirmation of Presidential appointees like an Undersecretary of Commerce. All such confirmations are done by the Senate. Therefore Peterson's machinations would be of no consequence, because the Congressman would not have been involved with the confirmation hearings.
