Which mentalist episodes are about red john

Jane asks two questions: Does he feel sorry for murdering his wife and daughter? Red John blinks Yes. Then he asks, Are you afraid to die? Yes again. From the outset Jane always said he would kill Red John. He previously shot a man once that he thought was Red John.

And we hear Jane choking Red John to death. The camera stays on Jane partly because it makes this revelation more surprising. What is important is what murdering Red John means to Jane and how it impacts him. Baker rocked this scene. Now, with Red John dead, Jane runs and runs and runs. I liked to think Jane is running because, for the first time since his family was killed, for the first time since we met him, he is free.

Check out our interview with Heller and Baker about the Red John episode. According to Heller in that interview, he really and truly is. That was it! James Hibberd. Save FB Tweet More. The man that Jane took captive and buried alive Benjamin Marx to cause him to confess to a crime in Red Rover, Red Rover is found murdered. Jane tells Lisbon that he created a fake list of suspects which were stolen from the attic in the CBI headquarters. Jane finds out that he is being spied on by the FBI and confirms this by visiting the ex-head of CBI Madeleine Hightower , who faked her death to keep herself and her children safe from Red John.

Later, Jane tells one of his suspects, Bob Kirkland, that the list of suspects stolen from him was fake. In anger, Kirkland kidnaps him and threatens to torture him to find out who the real suspects are.

Jane also finds out that Kirkland wants to kill Red John as well because he most likely killed his twin brother. Lisbon and Hightower rescue Jane and Kirkland is arrested. While Kirkland is being transported to jail, Reede Smith pulls over the van and pretends to let Kirkland escape and when his back is turned he shoots and kills him. The police officer and Reede agree to say that the officer shot him and they seal the deal by saying "Tyger Tyger" proving that they are part of the Tyger Tyger Conspiracy.

Red John kills her but before she dies, she reveals that "Red John" has a tattoo with three dots. Patrick gathers the five remaining Red John suspects to his Malibu home in the hope to discover which one bears a tattoo with three dots on their left arm.

The team is meeting in Jane's loft and they are discussing ways to get the Red John suspects to show whether they have a tattoo. Jane says that they have to all be in the same place as Red John could easily find out what they were doing if they spoke to the suspects separately and disappear. Cho asks Jane how he intends to get them to agree to show if they have a tattoo and Jane says "I wasn't planning on giving them a choice.

The next scene is of a parking garage with a man hanging from a noose over the edge. Reede Smith is talking with another FBI agent whom he asks to get the man's wallet, saying "you know how I am with heights. Jane tells Smith that he has information on Red John and asks him to meet with him on Thursday at 8pm, saying he will give him a location on that day itself.

The middle part of the episode revolves around getting the other suspects to agree to the meeting. Lisbon speaks to Ray Haffner and convinces him to go to the meeting by saying that if he refuses to show up, Jane will assume that he is Red John and go after him. Jane calls Sheriff McAllister and asks him if he was telling the truth when he told Patrick he was at his disposal.

McAllister confirms that he is and agrees to the meet. Grace Van Pelt goes to see Bret Stiles but did not succeed in convincing him. However, Patrick goes to see him later and gets him to agree by helping him out with his problem. Jane and Lisbon go to see Bertram who also agrees to the meeting, telling Jane that he wants to be there when he finishes it with Red John. With the five suspects all ready to be in the same place at the same time, Jane and Lisbon drives to the Jane family home.

On the way, they stop to watch the sunset and the two share an intimate moment and a hug, with Jane telling Lisbon how much she means to him. Jane then ditches Lisbon and drives off, having pickpocketed her cell phone, leaving her with no communications. Arriving at the Jane family home, Jane enters the main house and walks to the bedroom where he found his family dead years ago.

The Red John smiley face is faded but still visible. He then leaves and enters a smaller building on the property. This is the scene from the start of the episode, with a few extra details such as showing Jane removing the pistol from a safe in the wall. The first suspect arrives and it is Stiles who asks if he is early, as other cars begin to pull up and shadows are seen walking around outside.

With all five men in the room, Jane tells them that he knows that one of them is Red John. He is met with derision and scorn from most of them and Haffner tries to leave. Jane pulls out the shotgun and makes him sit down.

McAllister tells Jane to take it easy. Smith has his hand on his weapon but Jane threatens to shoot him if he tries anything and orders all those with weapons to take them out, put them on the floor and push them towards him. Stiles opens his jacket to show he has no weapon, while the others all take out their guns and put them on the floor.

Jane then explains about the tattoo and orders the men to show him their shoulders. All of them remove their outer layers of clothing to reveal their shoulders. Assuming this, Red John may be a member of this secret law enforcement conspiracy and is one of three suspects. He tells Jane "It's not what you think" with apparent fear and Jane points the shotgun at his face. However, Stiles tells Jane to look at the others.

Bertram and Smith both have the same tattoo as McAllister. Jane orders them on their feet and tells them to get up against the wall. The shot cuts to outside as we hear a voice saying "wait, NO! When Jane points the shotgun against the three suspects, a bomb, armed probably by Red John presumably one of these suspects , explode in the place. Lisbon arrives on the scene and rushes to the building, but is thrown back by a massive explosion. Jane investigates the Tyger Tyger conspiracy and its seeming connection with Red John.

Jane founds out there is indeed a secret organization The Blake Association of cops and other officials that hands out crimes to be committed. He opens a box and pulls out stacks of hundreds to put in his briefcase, along with some passports.

Reed is in another alley, in a very bad condition. He calls Van Pelt and offers to turn himself in for protection. Cordero pulls up where Smith is and manages to reel the paranoid Smith towards his car, claiming he was sent by CBI. Cordero then pulls a gun on Smith and tells him to get in the trunk, where it is lined for his execution. Smith tries to stall and it works when Cho arrives and starts shooting at Cordero, who gets away. In interrogation, Smith reveals that 5 years ago, he had an addiction to pain killers and accidentally killed a 12 year old girl on the job.

There were witnesses and evidence but it all went away when he pledged to the secret organization. That is how they get their members: by recruiting people with things that they need to hide. Van Pelt decrypts it to find a single file that is full of strange symbols. Bertram is the only patron at a bar and asks the bartender for rocks for his scotch. The bartender sees the news report on the TV behind Bertram and comments that the guy they are looking for looks a lot like him.

He gets the broken bottle and stabs the bartender repeatedly, splattering blood all over him. He makes a call to Cordero. The death of the bartender has narrowed the area for the CBI team to where Bertram could be. They have closed off the highways. The team and backup surrounds the house. However, a lot more SWAT vans pulls up, even from other districts.

Jane realizes the ploy and commands everyone to stay but a SWAT member gets into a car and manages to drive off without anyone noticing in the chaos. Lisbon races after him and asks what they should do next, suggesting to decode the list Van Pelt found. Jane says no and that it is out of their hands. Lisbon cannot believe he is quitting and Jane says he is just letting go. As the elevator doors close on him, he gives Lisbon a sad smile and says sorry. The last scene shows Jane entering a church and looking at the holy depictions on the stained glass.

He walks towards the pewter and sits in a pew, looking as if he is waiting for something. Patrick Jane finally comes face-to-face with Red John, the serial killer he has tracked since the man murdered his wife and daughter. For 10 years, Jane has doggedly hunted his nemesis in his search for justice. Believing Bertram to be Red John, Jane agrees and meets him at the rendezvous point.

There Bertram shocks Jane by claiming that he is not Red John but merely a humble foot soldier in the Blake Association whereas Red John is much higher. Gale reveals that this is a trap and ruefully gives Oscar the order to shoot and kill Jane but instead Oscar shoots Bertram. Sheriff Thomas McAllister then appears from behind and orders Oscar to remain outside and ensure that he and Jane are not disturbed. McAllister reveals himself as Red John and explains that he fully controls the Blake Association but while everyone else thinks that Bertram is the real Red John, it will make a fitting end for he and Patrick to be found dead together, having apparently killed one-another.

Unimpressed, Jane calls McAllister an evil, sexually perverted sociopath with pathetic delusions of grandeur, angering McAllister who asserts that his sense of grandeur is real due to the power he wields through his organisation. McAllister goes on to boast that he faked his death with Partridge's help, with a dead body, a stun grenade, and the bomb. Patrick knew how Red John faked his death, but admits that knowing the names on his list was smart. Patrick asks to show him something to which the overconfident Red John agrees.

Patrick then pours breadcrumbs into his hand before releasing a pigeon which flies at the ornothophobic psychopath, causing him to flail in panic. While Red John is distracted, Patrick takes a hand gun from under a pew and shoots the sheriff in the leg. Patrick says that he knew how everything was going to happen. Frightened but still arrogant, Red John taunts Patrick saying that he won't be able to kill him because it will haunt him.

Patrick however is savoring the moment because he knows that the real Red John is finally at his mercy. He taunts Red John back, claiming to be "disappointed". At this a woman walks into the church; Patrick explains that he is from the police and that she needs to leave but she does not believe him. Patrick disarms her and gets his handgun to pursue his wounded nemesis.

A woman sees Red John and screams down the police. Patrick asks the woman which way Red John went and she points him in the killer's direction. Patrick gains on Red John who with the wound in his torso cannot run much further; their chase is about to end. The FBI arrive at the cemetery and begin running to find Patrick. Meanwhile Red John enters the backyard of a home and he then tries to run through the door but a girl closes it.

Undeterred, Red John breaks through the glass. Patrick arrives and sees what happened. He hastily explains that he is police and will call for backup. Though Patrick asks for the phone, he does not bother calling anyone. Red John runs past a school bus, Patrick is sprinting hard and about to get him. It cuts to the FBI entering the church where we see Gale shot dead. Meanwhile, an exhausted Red John collapses near a creek and Patrick finally catches up with him. Patrick pins the murderer to the ground by his throat.

He tells him to blink once for no and twice for yes. Jane asks if he is sorry for killing his daughter and wife; he blinks twice. Patrick simply says "Good" then strangles McAllister to death, finally fulfilling his promise to kill Red John and ending his reign of terror once and for all. Rosalind is a young blind woman who was Red John's girlfriend for a brief period of time, and his closest approximation to a normal human relationship; though only feigned from his part.

They met when Red John's car got broken near to Rosalind's house and RJ asked Rosalind's permission to use her telephone, introducing himself by his alias Roy Tagliaferro. They found a common taste for classical music, and a relationship grew. Red John liked to hear Rosalind play the piano, and she developed a sincere love for him.

However, Red John just used her, as he only frequented her while he was in town building a trap for Jane and Maya Plaskett; and always lied to her, since he posed as a businessman who was "doing business in the area" and not even told her his true name. He also painted one of his trademark smiley faces above Rosalind's bed, mocking the fact that she was blind and couldn't see it. When the trap for Jane was finished, Red John simply left without saying goodbye, leaving Rosalind devastated.

However, she still kept feelings for him and always believed in his innocence, even after Patrick told her that Roy was Red John. RJ retained one of Rosalind's tea cups as a souvenir, which could be seen in the warehouse he was spying Jane from.

Red John visited her again three years later and she looked very happy for his return, playing the piano for him like before. However, Red John only used her again to inform Jane and Susan Darcy that he was still alive, and then hypnotized her and left the corpse of a morgue attendant in her closet. The FBI put Rosalind under witness protection after that encounter, though is unlikely that he had a reason to attack her, since he really never attempted anything against her before.

Once arrested, she revealed to Jane that Red John "loves" her and that they have a connection. Jane responds by stating that RJ only has tools this is established afterward when RJ poisons Rebecca moments after talking to Jane. Visualize cult leader Bret Stiles hinted several times to be a close person to Red John, though the exact nature of that relationship was never specified.

He had information of things that only Red John could have known, like the location of the kidnapped Kristina Frye, and was aware of facts concerning RJ, like his joy in sparring with Jane and his encounters with Rosalind Harker and the San Joaquin Killer.

When questioned by Patrick Jane about the source of such knowledge, Stiles simply said that he knew so much more than him or Red John could ever imagine. Since Red John was a member of Visualize during his youth, it's likely that the two met during that period. Stiles apparently did not hold any grudge against RJ for having murdered fellow Visualize members Martin Talbot and Allen Charney at the barn of the church in Elliston. Both men were very much alike in the sense of being charismatic and manipulative and having hordes of fanatic followers worshiping them.

It's very possible that Red John learned that behavior from Stiles. There are hints of a possible cooperation between their two organizations, Stiles' Visualize and Red John's Blake Association, since both used similar tactics; and Visualize was known for committing crimes and mysteriously evading justice, while the Blake Association was later discovered to have been formed by corrupt members of law enforcement. However, not a single member of one organization was confirmed to have been member of the other, aside from Red John himself.

Stiles showed the unique ability to act against Red John's interests without fearing retaliation from the killer, as seen when he used his influences to release Lorelei Martins from prison, in order for Patrick Jane to contact her and get information on Red John's identity.

This was a very brave action considering Red John's extent of power and tendency to be easily infuriated, and suggested that he could be in an almost equal or even superior position though it must be noted that Stiles hesitated before accepting Patrick's request.

However, this connection didn't stop Red John from murdering Bret Stiles by a bomb blast at Jane's house, as part of a plan from the killer to fake his own death during the incident. Red John was known for having a large amount of fanatic followers who felt a great admiration for him, almost like if he was a messiah, and were willing to do anything he asked them to. Most of them were closet psychopaths who seemed completely normal.

They saw him as a savior, since Red John appeared in their lives in moments of despair and helped them. But he didn't. He made you strong. He made you feel proud of that darkness. Red John used them as accomplices in many of his crimes, and they gladly accepted thinking that he was "on a mission of love and enlightenment". It is unknown whether Red John really believed in that or if it was just a lie he told to make them follow him.

Their admiration for Red John was so strong, that some of them went as far as to kill themselves to protect his master. Red John's accomplice Miriam Gottlieb said that they must obey his orders without questions. It is hinted that some of them could also have been his sexual partners, since Lorelei Martins had sex with Patrick Jane under Red John's orders without hesitation. However, as Jane pointed out, Red John didn't feel any attachment to them, and saw them only as disposable tools that he could kill when they were no longer useful for his purposes or to protect himself.

He also killed Lorelei's sister Miranda just to provoke a breakdown in her and be able to "rescue" her. Red John had a twisted and obsessive relationship with Patrick Jane, something that Bret Stiles described as "a kind of love".

The two got in contact in when Jane, then posing as a psychic, joined the police in the quest for the serial killer. After Jane appeared in an interview on TV and called the criminal "a tormented, ugly little man", an infuriated Red John went to Jane's home while he was out of town and killed his wife and daughter in retaliation.

This was atypical from the beginning since it supposed the only time that Red John, who doesn't tolerate being slandered in the media, attacked the relatives of the person that provoked him and not the provoker itself; though he was probably looking for Jane and in his absence decided to attack his family instead. This caused a breakdown in Jane and, after spending 6 months in a psychiatric facilty, he left his old life as a psychic and joined the CBI as a consultant with the sole purpose to find and take revenge on Red John, becoming his most formidable enemy ever since.
