Lol Red John is coming out of hiding because someone else gets the credit for his work? WOW, what a clever plan. I bet RJ never saw that coming! No. I can't get over how that stupid that is. It makes me laugh.
Red John would kill Bertram if he cared that much. Oscar Cordeiro, Red John's Tyger Tyger underling is helping Bertram long after Patrick announces to the media that Bertram is RJ.
RJ is alright with Bertram being called Red John because he thinks he's beaten Patrick. So he sends someone out to gloat to Patrick. Why would Red John himself go to the church, get shot, then randomly get chased down in the park. Just no. That's stupid.
Patrick plays him. He shows mercy to the guy in church after he shoots him because he knows its not Red John. Why else would Red John "agree" to meet him. Showing up randomly to a church, unexpectedly, is not "agree(ing)" at all.
The plot is not going to be simplistic and retarded.
