The Mentalist 5X4: Blood Feud
Added 2025-12-03 19:00:10 +0000 UTCRigsby is forced to report to LaRoche (Pruitt Taylor Vince) from the Professional Services Unit when he uses lethal force in a case. He recounts the case - the murder of Andy Huff who has no record.
The team realise another person was at the crime scene and left wounded. They find him in a nearby shed and it turns out to be Steve Rigsby (William Forsythe), Rigsby's father, who is seriously wounded.
Steve refuses to talk and Lisbon tells Rigsby he can't work the case.
Huff's business partner Samantha (Daisy Eagan) tells Lisbon that Huff was Tom Overton's son, a notorious man who ran gangs though Huff was not involved in the family business. The team investigate if the rival Lo Ryder gang may be involved and Van Pelt talks to gym owner Fletcher Moss (Max Martini) who says there are no other gangs.
Jane deduces that someone killed Huff to restart the gang war.
Steve leaves the hospital so Rigsby tracks him down. The two spend some quality time before the injured Steve dies in his son's arms.
Jane and Lisbon visit Moss and Jane devises a plan to bring Sue Overton (of the Overtons) and Beltran (of the Lo Ryders) to the gym for a sit down and they realise that the misunderstanding and Huff's killing was due to Moss who wanted the two gangs to kill each other.
Moss makes a run for it and Rigsby chases him and is forced to shoot him dead. LaRoche concludes that Rigsby acted appropriately but it was because of Jane's plan to hold the meeting in a remote place.
Jane admits he was the one who called Rigsby to the scene because he feels it may be better to regret something did rather than something he didn't do.
