Moment:

And then it was over, the magic moment of clarity when normal people recalled their past and Patrick Jane thought of fate and irony.

The pain came piercing, like an electric charge, setting nerve endings on fire. Luckily it didn’t last long. Adrenaline mellowed what would have been excruciating agony.

And then darkness claimed the blonde consultant, his mind shutting down to spare him the experience of being crushed by a metallic monster.

His thought process slowed, returning to their earlier game. In sunlight, everything looks clear. What about the opposite, then? What about the blackness stealing his vision? It was the last thing he thought of, before unconsciousness knocked him out completely.

Moment:

“Honey? Something wrong?”

She couldn't hear him, though, as she carefully peeled back the covers and her eyes widened in shock. A scream tried to claw up her throat, but she felt locked in place, unable to breath.

Moment:

"There is no Red John."

"...it's only your minds way of coping with what you did."

"Stop it." Jane whispered, pulling his hands to his ears to block out Sophie's voice. Without realizing it, he'd also sat up and pulled his knees to his chest, burying his face there.

He felt a hand on his, but was afraid to open his eyes. Would he see Lisbon or Sophie?

Moment:

As expected, seconds late Jane’s arms were tied to the armrests and there was rope tying him to the back of the chair.

“Who’s the woman in room 412?” Anton asked, standing in front of Jane.

“”I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Anton grabbed Jane’s ring finger and bent it back. Jane inhaled sharply as the bone broke.

“Who?” Anton growled, his voice more forceful this time.

“Her name is Grace. She’s my girlfriend.” Jane told him through gritted teeth, trying not to pay attention to the searing pain in his finger.

“I thought you were married?” Anton asked. Jane smirked.

“To that b****? Unfortunately, yeah.” He winced as Anton delivered a stinging slap to his face. O’Farrell turned and took a gun from a drawer. It clicked at he removed the safety catch.

Outside, Lisbon had heard enough.

Jane was still five feet away. As the gun went off, the slight kickback loosened her grasp and she felt the concrete wall scraping at her skin as she started to slide. She glimpsed Jane’s panicked face before the world was tilting and her hand skidded across the surface of the building, unable to find purchase.

Everything seemed to happen so fast and yet time seemed to drag on.

Jane made a last desperate dive to the edge, frantic. He couldn’t lose her completely. He may have to live without her in his life, but the world needed someone like Teresa Lisbon.

He needed to know that she was still out there somewhere.

He couldn’t lose her to death, to his own darkness, because of his darkness.

He reached, hands grasping. He had chosen.

He needed her to live so that she would know that, when it came down to it, he chose her.
