CHEAT TWEET: Jane finally thinks he knows #RedJohn’s identity! Is he right? And will he find him in time? #TheMentalist 11/10 http://bit.ly/16h49DG. THE ONLY ONE WHO DOESNT HAVE TIME IS BRETT STILES IS HE RED JOHN???AND IF JANE THINKS IS STILES IS HE WRIGHT!!!
Gojira, gojira, gojira.
We may have been misdirected in the Red Barn episode. Father DiBuono told Jane that Talbot said some "kid" painted the Red John smiley and from that statement we've be led to believe that was the same person who actually murdered Talbot and Charney. But what if Talbot and Charney were killed by Stiles (cleaning up a mess, which it seems the Red Barn was) and noticed the smiley, which appears to be derived from a Visualize ritual (like we see in "Fire and Brimstone"), and decided to adopt it. So the Red Barn wasn't necessarily the birth of Red John as much as the birth of the smiley.
Net is, we were led to believe that the "kid" who painted the smiley commited the murders, but there is no proof that is the case. This could simply be the writers providing some interesting background (origin of the smiley) and conveniently using that as a way to misdirect us and remove suspicion from Stile.
I was talking about gale below it's definitely gale he us self possessed and smart enough and in a position of power. He is creepy and wears a wedding ring. Clues we have seen ourselves are true.
PS not brain of salt lol pinch
You have to take eye witnesses descriptions with a brain of salt you can't trust them. You can trust what you have seen yourself and they are the important clues. We saw that redjohn wears a ring. We know he is quite tall. We know he is naracistic. We can trust Jane's account of him. He is a show man a show off who has a fondness for Jane. He is in a position of power ...that only leaves one person. Rewatch his scenes and look at his behavior .It makes Perfect sense. Hellers descriptions aren't great either but he is correct on two of them. It's not the picture I have chosen though.
I have watched in the past month all 122 episodes, which makes me a serious Mentaddict. =)
------------------------------------------------------
-Spoiler for those who did not watched "Fire and Brimstone"-
At the end of the episode the 5 remaining suspects are separated into two groups. Those who have the tattoo(3) and those who do not(2).
Episode 123 is called "The Great Red Dragon" where the law enforcement mafia will be revealed. Then the three tattooed suspects will be discarted.
Episode 124, "Red John" one of the remaining two will be revealed as the serial killer.
------------------------------------------------------
Ok, I believe that is the storyline of the series. Bret Stiles will be revealed as Red John "the mind" and Michael Kirkland "the body".
My guess: The law enforcement mafia has used Red John as a cover up for commiting crimes. The day Red John saves Patrick revealing the tyger tyger poem, he needs Jane´s help. Red John feeds him to help him uncover the mafia who are using his signature to commit crimes. Being Brett Partridge the ideal member to cover up the leads. Red John kills him first as a call to the mafia "I know who you are and I am after you". Reason why they really need to find him first. They need to shut him up before Red John reveals not all the murders where commited by himself nor his accomplice. Red John loves Patrick as a father-son love. He killed his wife and daughter not to punish him but to convert him into a killer, which he already has by killing Red John´s bait.
Michael Kirkland "the body" is Red John, or if you want to see it in another way, he is Red John´s main assasin. He fits in size and description to most leads given. Bret Stiles "the mind" is Red John. He fits all the cleverness to be always ahead of Patrick.
Well, in two week we will see, until then... =)
It should be Bret or Brett, who is Brett's fatter and found people for him through visualize to do several acts for the sect, and as Bret is the "father" of the whole organization, he doesn't need a tattoo. Even better, as he knew that these 3 had this tattoo, he painted a fake one for Heller to see to frame one of the 3 that had the tattoo. The thing that confirms this is that she said they were vertical, and these were horizontal. The tattoo is for people who join the sect. Gale, Thomas and Reede are just part of the people of the whole grid. Hell, even Teresa could be in
