Bob Kirkland was after RJ, and yet he killed the man who knows his identity?
I think RJ himself wrote that "He is Mar" writing on the wall. Because when you're dying you dont waste time or energy to write "He is". You just write the name. Just like Lorelei's sister Miranda. She didn't write "He is Roy", she just wrote "Roy".
The question is, why? I believe that wasn't written for Jane. He wrote it for someone else, to send some kind of message. Because if it was for Jane, it would lead him to a trap but nothing happened.
I may have missed it but I don't think I saw a theory including this:
RJ tells Patrick that he knows about that suspect list. Then, one of the suspects gets killed. Now, if that list is bogus, doesn't Patrick realize that he put the remaining suspects in danger? If it is not bogus and the list valid, this still means he put 6 of 7 in danger (one being RJ).
Since we know that Patrick wanted his list to be stolen, I believe he made a list of RJ accomplices that he has no doubt. Either he'll get information out of them by putting some pressure on and waiting for a mistake, or RJ will kill them to prevent this which will cause RJ lose power. In both scenarios Patrick wins. Great plan.
But I have no idea how did he figure out these names. Especially Reede Smith and McAllister are pretty hard to be sure about since they're not that much involved.
Every single opinion is appreciated, please share your thoughts.
Something doesn't make sense with the death of Partridge. A call comes to Lisbon, saying someone is in distress. She sees that Partridge is there, goes there and when she gets there he is still alive. He dies after saying two words. Then, RJ puts Lisbon out and doesn't kill her. Questions are:
1- Why did RJ need to kill Partridge?
2- Why was he still alive when Lisbon get there?
3- What was the point of luring Lisbon into a trap if she wasnt gonna get killed? What did RJ accomplish here?
Since I don't want Partridge being dead, I'd like to think that Partridge himself set the trap to remove suspicion on him. The best way of doing that is faking his death.
I appreciate every single opinion. Please feel free to share what you think.
New theory, just briefly and open to discussion. I'm not going to go into details about the accomplices of RJ but I have a simple yet pretty much possible theory.
I think there are 2 RJs here. If Heller is solid about his statement that one of those 7 guys is really RJ, then here's my theory:
After PJ left his father, Alex was so frustrated and his grudge led him to train another wonder boy in order to seek a remote vengeance against Patrick. He trained and brainwashed him so well and equipped him with deepest elements of mentalism and hypnosis but as Patrick has a natural talent in this field, the new bot could not be left alone. Therefore, the new boy was going to take care of operational stuff, and the complex brain behind the whole scenario would be Alex Jane himself as a mentor and analyst.
Of course, this plan and the new boy was needed to be tested before taking place in real action. This was the reason of killings earlier than PJ's family. To see if they can manage not to be caught or traced. And this boy was already originally into mental enhancement, so he was a disciple in Visualize at an early age (Red Barn) but only after he was recruited by Alex Jane (who's also a close friend of Bret Stiles that time) from Visualize and equipped with the doctrine of being Red John, only then he drew that smily face on the barn in order to seal the idea that the Barn is the place where it all began.
I also think that the TV show manager is also involved in RJ's plan because they needed a reason to kill Jane's family and to do that, the simplest thing to do was to make him insult Red John publicly. Only then the trial period of RJ has ended ad it started to serve its real purpose. Making Jane's life a nightmare.
Wondering what the name of that boy is? Brett Partridge of course. But he's the operational part. The master behind him (2nd Red John) is Alex Jane. Pretty fantastic I admit... But still very much possible. And this way you can both make Partridge fans and the rest of the people happy about the story.
