Who is Red John?

Theories of iq_rama (6)

No, no, no...no fucking way.

Red John died in season 3. Timothy Carter was the real deal, voice and perfect speech, not this mumbojambo bullshit.

McAllister: The game is over and I've won...Patrick, this high-pitched voice is really difficult, damn this Bruno Heller for making me use it. 
McAllister: So, you wanna know about the list?
PJ: No.
McAllister: Come on, don't you wanna know?
PJ: No.
McAllister: Pretty please...
PJ: I said no.
McAllister: I do not know it either how I got it....Ha ha ha.
PJ: Why did you kill Bertram?
McAllister: I kill Bertram, I kill you, game over I've won...You are making me say it again. I've told you that is difficult for me.
PJ: You know that I've had a cup of tea and a bagel earlier. I have something for you.
McAllister: Let me come closer to you and hold my hand.
PJ: Aha...
McAllister: Nice one, Patrick...You knew I was afraid of turtle doves. You got me...now I have to run
.....................

Lisbon: We all need to stay in the car and let Jane catch his killer. The big FBI boss said to stay nice and quiet.

.............................................

Woman in the cemetery: A man is shot and I'm screaming like an idiot....Mister, mister, Usain Bolt went that way...go and shoot him again...
PJ: Much appreciated m'am...

PJ: M'am give me that phone...have no fear the police is here...

Police: 911, what's your emergency?
McAllister: Yeah, this is the serial killer Red John, you may have heard of me.
Police: Sure, Please state the nature of your emergency.
McAllister: Someone is trying to kill me, ha ha ha.

PJ: Ok, Red John, blink me once if Bruno Heller is an idiot, blink me twice if he is a moron.
PJ: Can you that again? I didn't catch that the first time.
McAllister: What about the list?
PJ: NO.
McAllister: OK, bye bye cruel world.

That's all folks!

Leaving aside the jokes, Red John has nothing in common with this 6th season Red John. They made up a handshake, a bullshit phobia and a whistler. Pick your favorite, anyway they all wind up dead.

If I could forget the last 3 seasons, I would.

Liar, Liar, Liar
Shame, shame, shame Bruno Heller.

For me the real Red John was killed in season 3 and his name was Timothy Carter. The rest from then is poor fiction.

I mean, some of the theories on this site are even better than your grand finale.

Shame Bruno Heller,

...spoiler...
Jane has it all planed. In the promo you can see clearly that the gun is full of tape. Hidden by him under the bench church, probably at the end of the red dragon episode. In the promo, in the church is Bertram, with the ring on his hand and all the baldness. Maybe he shots Bertram to allure Red John(that's why he said that Bertram is Red John, that's why he shots him, not kill maybe, that's why Red John says he had won).
From the voice I do not know if it's McAllister or someone else. I haven't heard this voice during this show. Hope that Red John is someone worthy to be him, if you know what I mean.

I’m more and more convinced that Bruno Heller is preparing Gale Bertram
for him being Red John. I’m convinced that at the beginning of the series Bruno
Heller didn’t know who Red John was.



All the red herrings and mistakes made during this show convinced me
that Bruno Heller was improvising from one episode to another, from one season
to another, thus all the clues that put together don’t make any sense
whatsoever or explained with poor arguments.


We have seen all the twists during this show some with a good explanation
and some with a poor one, the final with this “Tyger, Tyger organisation” for
giving a continuity of the show after the Red John’s capture.  



With all the clues presented in this show Red John could also be my father, so I will use some of them to point out
why Gale Bertram could be Red John.




"Red John was always there from the beginning"


Of course he was there from the beginning. That’s
how the show started.

 



Gale Bertram was also from the beginning. He
was the boss of Virgil Minelli, the boss of Hightower – “The Director of the
entire Divison”, like Lisbon said. Just
that he was introduced in S03x01.


 



“I do not like to be slandered in the media” –
Red John

 



Neither does Gale Bertram. He likes to be in
the attention of the press and doesn’t like scandals. He deals with the media. He
is first and foremost concerned about the CBI's and his own image. He desires
to protect his career and public standing. - narcissistic
personality


 



“How did Lorelei know that Red John shook hands with Patrick Jane?”



Remember that when Patrick Jane met with Gale Bertram and shook hands there
was a press conference and a lot of cameras. She could have easily seen it on TV or in a photo.




“What "He is mar(n)..." written in blood was intended to mean?”



It’s hard to imagine that Red John didn't finish the job and that Jared
Renfrew had a few seconds to write “He is mar(n)”. From his position in the
bathtub was kind of difficult to write on the wall, adding the fact that he was
a friend of a friend of Red John. It’s possible also that he did not know the
identity of Red John.


“He is mar(n)” can mean anything. Well possible
written by Red John. He is martreb = He is Bertram, just for the fun of it.




“Red John like Waldo”


Gale Bertram is like Waldo.



Who is "Carmen Lee"?


No one

               

Who is the red-headed lady on a bench feeding
pigeons?



No one



And more and more questions like this that has no significance and
nothing to do with Red John.



Bertram is well-spoken, good posture, self-possessed, has many friends
on whom he relies for company and emotional support, access to CBI data, knows
William Blake. He was nearby when Todd Johnson was killed (maybe Craig
O'Laughlin did not kill TJ and Red John did), was there with Timothy Carter, was
nearby when Patridge was killed (see the GPS Tracking Map) and after that
nearby Lisbon, was there with the 4 suspects. Let’s face it; he was present in
the major moments of catching Red John.



With the last clues given by Bruno Heller I’m more and more convinced
that Gale Bertram is getting closer and closer to being Red John:


"When you catch that fish [Red John] I
want to be on the boat".


“I know that sometimes I must appear
calculating even duplicitous to you…I’m many things to many people”



“I’ m telling you again. If you have Red John
in your sights I will be there. Clear?”



Bertram is a really good whistler.

Heller said that
there is a clue in the last minutes of 06x01 which would be clear in later
episodes. 


The clue is 
the GPS Mobile tracker in which you can see the initials for the 7 suspects. Kirkland is in
LA(K) - so could not be him. S1(maybe Stiles) is far away in San Franscisco and static,
S2(maybe Smith far away but in transit). The
closest to Patridge(P) are Bertram(B - static) and Haffner (H - in transit). You can also their addresses. 


Now
some opinions. It's the moment when Lisbon is watching on the computer and
being called.
