After watching the leak a few times now.. I think its real. He called 911 to show us that after all the facade, all the grandeur that he is just a regular man. The final scene was very well done, sad, full of emotion and intimacy as Simon Baker said it would be. I think this is the real "Red John" episode. 

Seeing the leak wont stop me for one second from watching the tv version when it airs!
