first of all excuse my poor english
I have some questions
why some people are disappointed about this episode of The Mentalist?
some people say that why red john ask for mercy?
well this is obvious..it's because he is a psychopath..he is crazy.. he was smart yes but he isn't sane
you can't predict his actions.
why you imagine red john as a fearless person who doesn't fear of death?
..
having that said I think the red john case isn't close yet
I think (or I hope :) ) there will be another revealing of red john and McAllister isn't the real red john
look at s04 e13 at the scene that rosalind called patrick
look at red john's hand and look at mcallister hand in s06 e07
it's not solid evidence but i think is enough to count mcallister out of the list of our red john suspects
