I know, I know. Partridge is already dead. Up until about one minute ago I totally agreed with that. However something got me thinking about this again and here is what it is.....

Remember when PJ & Lisbon were shown the picture Cho took of Partridge in the morgue? Lisbon asks PJ what he thinks it means. PJ replies with a question, What do you think it means? Or something close to that. We, the audience were, all focused on the skin being removed from the shoulder. What if PJ noticed something completely different? Maybe a birth mark, or the color of the skin or something specific he knows about Partridge that didn't appear in the photo. PJ acted very decisively after seeing the photo. I think that was the moment he figured out who Red John is. Partridge. Since he wants RJ for himself he wouldn't have pointed this out and had the body be more closely examined.

I was watching the pilot and the focus on the hands shake between the Dr and PJ was like the light in the dark.
He's a psychologist, he's smart and has a soft voice.

He's on the Jane's list of 7 too.

Just a guess. But look at the pilot and think like you would finish with the same guys you started.

*Red John comes into the church.*

Red John: "The game is over and I won".
Patrick Jane: "Not quite." 

*Patrick throws ham on the head of Red John and pushes button of weird device that he hidden in his pocket.*

*Doors of left and right confessionals opens."

*From each comes out tiger.*

SMALL RETROSPECTION:

Patrick knew from the begining who Red John was but he wanted to kill him in a badass way, so he spent few years on training two bengal tigers. 

RETROSPECTION OVER.

*
Red John looks around suprised.*

*"Won't Get Fooled Again" starts playing in the background*

*Patrick puts on black sunglasses.*

Patrick Jane: "Tiger, tiger, bitch.

YYYEEEAAAHHH!
