LATEST THEORIES

This is a ending i wrote, first time doing anything like this so be nice. i think its worth a read, let me know what ya think cheers

 

Lisbon goes
missing, Patrick presumes she’s gone with pike, one day passes with no contact.
Jane and Cho have a murder to investigate. It’s a gruesome murder with blood
everywhere footprints, handprints and blood smeared all over the walls, the
victim was stabbed multiple times.  There
is very little to go on and with Lisbon missing Janes mind is elsewhere.



There is a
second murder, again gruesome with the same blood everywhere, Fisher and abbot
investigate. They try to get Jane on board with the investigation, but with
Lisbon missing Jane is leaving message after message thinking that she and Pike
are together.



A third
murder occurs, this time slightly different, the victim the same stabbed but
this time only two dots and a semi circle under it.... Wiley is at his computer
investigating the murders and finds a link between all three victims. They were
all interviewed by visualise but never committed to them. After the link is
found and Jane is told he immerses himself in the murders.



In the dead
of night while he is going through pictures of the crime scenes the picture of
the two dots and semi circle baffle him, frustrated by it he casually throws
the pictures onto the glass table. Two of the pictures aline to show an all to
show an all too familiar sight. The dots the eyes, the semi circle alines with
another to create the head, Jane frantically flicks through the pictures and
suddenly stops the final piece hidden among all the blood spatter, a subtle
smear, a smurk, all together create a smiley know too well. Janes heart sinks
realising that Lisbon isn’t with Pike and what he felt for the past 3 years,
that Red John is still alive.



Janes mind
starts racing trying to remember clues or hints to where he and Lisbon might be
but nothing comes, finally the list, he hasn’t looked at it since he made the
deal with Abbot. He stares at it hopeing for something to jump out at him but
no luck. He enlists the help of Wiley and his computer. He scans the code onto
his computer and runs it through a code breaker, after a long wait it converts
the symbols to numbers. Jane and Wiley investigate the numbers not phone
numbers, the next logical step coordinates. They proceed to pin all the
coordinates on a map, there seems to be no pattern in the pins, Jane stares at
the map when one pops out, it was Janes home. Confused he starts looking at the
other addresses when another jumps out, it was the address where Lorelei was
found. He continues the process and eventually the majority of addresses are
linked with a Red John crime scene and murder.



The only
place Jane can think of going is to his house where it all started. He arrives
at the door fearing the worst he walks through the door, nothing, everything is
the same as he left it. He begins walking up the stairs, at the breast of the
stairs, a note is pinned to the door. Brings back terrible memories, he takes a
deep breath opens the door dreading what he finds but again nothing apart from
the smiley staring back at him.

He opens the note;

Hello
Patrick, it’s been a long time. I’ve missed you, I thinks its time to meet ...
again. I’ll be waiting where I first introduced myself to you. Hope to see you
soon. P.S Lisbon says hi :) 

Jane again
is none the wiser, he reads the note over and over. Introduced!?? Normal conversation
would say met you. He racks his brain when suddenly he jumps up and sprints to
the car. He drives to Palm Springs. He drives up the driveway of a mansion and
screeches to a halt, jumps out and sprints to the door. Unsurprisingly its
unlocked, he proceeds wearily, in the living room he sees a lifeless Lisbon
lying face up in a pool of blood. He rushes over to her but just before he gets
to her he hears a voice, soft and high pitched. “Hello Patrick.... I thought it
was time for us to finally meet properly” Jane turns slow to see the outline of
a man pointing a gun at him. “now Patrick how is that memory of yours? What was
the first thing I said to you?” Patrick replies with “Red John enters here” “Ahh
very good Patrick, I told you, I told you who I was, all this time and the
smartest man in every room didn’t get it. So now Patrick take a seat” Red John
puts down his gun “ now I told you before I wanted to be your friend, so what
do you think?” Jane:”you killed my wife and daughter and now the other love
Lisbon. I will kill you this night” RJ “ I don’t think so” tapping his gun “I did
those things so we could be friends, we could have everything”  PJ “ I don’t want everything, I want you dead
for what you did to me” RJ “I made you stronger” PJ ”I never asked for this”
with that being said PJ lunges for RJ, He reaches for his gun but in the
struggle its knocked away out of reach. They struggle and finally PJ landing a
few blows gets on top, the same as MacAllister, with PJ Choking RJ with both
hands, PJ then asks the same questions he ask MacAllister but this time RJ says
hes not sorry. Through the choking, RJ mutters “shes still alive” PJ loosens
his grip “what??” RJ: “ Lisbon, shes alive” PJ: I don’t believe you. RJ: go
check.



Jane jumps
up and rushes to Lisbons side checks her pulse, its faint. RJ: now Patrick I told
you I wanted to be friends and this is my gift to you, your beloved Lisbon. Now
I am going to leave and will ring you and tell you how to save her. After a long
silence and while holding Lisbon PJ: .....thank you..... RJ walks out with a
smile creeping across his face “ Goodbye Patrick, till next time”

The phone
rings, PJ answers but says nothing “time heals all wounds” and  click.

Hours pass
with Jane Just holding Lisbon, her eyes open slowly..............

Ok MAJOR breakthrough! Maybe..

Remember the "picture frame" clue that one guy was talking about? He would never tell us the clue but he gave me a hint and i got it. At first i said it was Roger at the bar with Jane in Mexico but no.
The pic is of Lorelie's step father who is way older than her mother. Her step father is....ALEX JANE!!!!!!
I didn't agree at first but if you put the two pics of them both side by side you can see it. Especially the cowboy pic with Lorelie step dad.
The guy who posted this may be wrong but I'm riding with him on this. Because listen to this...
Alex Jane is the only logical explanation for Red John. Love/hates Patrick and cannot kill him but loves showing HIS SON he is always the smarter one. Jane's arrogance was what Alex Jane hated about his son. Jane left and did his own thing. They have the same powers. Act the same and manipulate people the same.

Remember we were talking about how Rj had to have other reasons to kill Janes family other than what Jane said? Yea cuz Rj is Alex Jane.
Maybe he keeps his son alive because he uses him. Who knows how much he has used him over the years without Jane even knowing.
Listen to this...
Lorelie was separated from her sister until they finally met later in life. So both sisters were both Red Johns Girls right? So that means one of them most likely Lorelie the older sister, introduced Rj to her sister Miranda. But what if Rj WAS Lorelei's STEPFATHER!!
He is always away on "business" and we know Miranda died shortly after she met Rj and her own sister for the first time with this logic.
Miranda met Red John when she met Lorelie. The Ba killed and RAPED Miranda which fueled Rj to seek revenge on them. And what better way then to use Jane. Lorelie's step sister. Thats why Lorelie knew her dad did not kill and rape his own step daughter.

Not only is the mentalist a rip off of The Pro-filer, there are some big plot points stolen from the movie Red Dragon starring Anthony Hopkins and Edward Norton. To spare you the trouble of seeing the movie let me explain to you what Bruno Heller stole. First lets start with the name, RED dragon.......... this may not be much but it's a possibility he used the Red theme idea from this. In the movie, the story revolves around a serial killer named the tooth fairy............................ he is obsessed about a painting named "the great red dragon". Guess who drew the painting............... William Blake.

Episode 7, Season 6....... the name of the episode is "The great red dragon" !!! The un-originality from Bruno Heller is shameful! So far what do we have  in common? Serial killer+Red theme+William Blake. 
Case closed............ this man has not a single original bone in his body. Red John was never planned properly. He stole ideas from different shows and movies...... thats it.

In the 4th Season of The Mentalist in Episode 7 Patrick Jane speaks in the Interview on purpose about Red John. He knew how James Penser would talk about Red John and he knew that the Cbi/Fbi would never be able to catch the San joaquin killer. So he practically used Red John to kill him and to secure his thought that Timothy Carter isnt Red John

BLUE BIRD a.k.a the dove that carries a dynamite stick in it's beak.

Red John is dead... Long Live the Blue Bird.
Why do we need a serial killer when we have the one thing that made him wet his pants?
Enter... Blue "pigeon" Bird.
That's right. The very thing that scared the sh*t out of the "officer of the law" will be back, to terrorize the FBI just because it can. Perhaps it would send the whole park of it's buddies to crash into the headquarters windows and paint the whole town in BLUE. 

Or...

Will the "mother of all scares" be released at the altar for a "cute" effect? 
To find out the answers to all of the above questions tune into Season 7. Coming soon...

I am sorry about all the Grace stuff but for some reason the writers wanted her to seem very suspicious early on. We get insights into all the characters past. Rigsby and Cho we learned a bit and obviously Jane as well as Lisbon and her drunk father.
But Gvp for some reason seems to have the most skeletons in her closet.
First the way awkward first time meeting with Jane. Priceless.
Then the infamous dinner table convo about God and soul-less Jane.
Then Gvp was nearly in tears because Jane made fun of Kristina Freye's powers. Cousin Yolanda 4 life.
We then learn Grace has a thing with suicide. Her sister killed herself but Grace lied about the whole thing to Rigsby and said she never had a sister.

Then the episode i saw last week with a girl from foster care found dead on an island.
Grace wad LIVID the whole episode!
She assaulted a witness and spilled coffee on a foster care lady.
It was all because the foster care lady could not do her job as Grace said. Lisbon was worries about her but Grace said she was fine.
My question is why make Grace have so many question marks with subjects that are right up the Red John story lines alley!
Is she really gone?

i kind of get a kick out of the fact that some of these theories still get an "unlikely" vote.  no offense to anyone that clicks it...it does say "unlikely" and not "impossible".  but if the hand we have currently been dealt is a storyline involving a redneck sherrif turned serial killer / criminal mastermind who's demise lead to the incest laden relationship simply to satisfy all the jisboners out there, what isn't plausible???


seriously, if i had posted before 6x8 that McAssclown was going to remove his clark kent style of a costume (sheriff hat and moustache) to reveal that he was not only RJ, but the leader of the BA, only to be derailed by a pigeon.  and that would lead to PJ dancing in a pink sarong and floral blouse.  stack on rigsby taking bullets like a cyborg, and top it all off with the creepiest kiss of all time.  now that would have gotten everybody's "unlikely" vote. 


so now when someone tries to make just a little sense out of the entire debacle, i can't bring myself to call it unlikely, no matter how unlikely it might seem at first read.  at this point, i would have to say a season 7 where cho tracks down rigsby and rips his heart out with his bare hands just so he can finally get a sweet piece of some GVP, or where abbott confesses to being Kirkland's maternal twin, or lisbon admits she is PJ's bilogical sister........after what we've seen, i'd have to vote anything as plausible
