I just posted this to ask people who think that Red John is Patrick Jane to consider the fact that Patrick has visited Red Johns blind girlfriend. If Patrick was indeed Red John the girlfriend would have known immediately.
I think Susan Darcy is Red Johns accomplice in the FBI.
I think its highly unlikely to be Patrick for a few different reasons. One, there happens to be a couple episodes where Patrick and Red John are actually in together. For example, the one where Red John recites a poem in Patrick's ear. Or where Red John slips a note under Patrick's hotel door and he chases him down. I disagree with the theory of Red John actually being Patrick.
RED JOHN is in Fact PATRICK JANE it is his altar / EGO
I believe RJ is PJ's father. We have not seen him sinse season 1. I believe he is angry at his son for abandoning the family con business. That is why he kills people around PJ, but not PJ.
He loves PJ and admires him.
Red John(RJ) has to be Patrick, there is no one intelligent as him as you all know patric is brilliant and knows without them speaking.patric never uses gun and guess rj uses knifes never a gun. he cannot read rj friends because he himself hypnotises them and in rj friend episode why did jared contact pj since he is friend and how does rj know jared's location and you should be amazed what ever patrick knows rj also knows them how, how come there is recorded message to luther and luther is another person who thinks patrick is rj so he kills him in the mission by manuplating everyone. only doubt i have is does he know he is rj or he lost his one half as he saw his family die, he was also hospitalized for his mental illness.there is no coincedence but i will be happy if rj is pj and season 5 is gonna see pj's dark side.
According to me susan darcy is RJ...and as someone said earlier RJ being one of Lisbons colleagues would defnitely result in the retrials of the case is legit :) And im damn sure that RJ is not one among Lisbons team :)
Here's why I don't think it would be PJ.
Think about the ramifications of Red John turning out to be Patrick. It would be a defense attorney's dream. Every single case that PJ helped clear over the course of the show would immediately up for review and retrial. Almost every defendant and their attorney would be able to claim that they were framed by PJ/RJ.
Don't forget shadow of doubt here. my defendant was framed by the notorious serial killer Red John, who happened be a consultant for the CBI and worked directly on his case. would any jury need more than that to acquit.
What about evidence, every piece of information or evidence that PJ helped them obtain in the course of an investigation is now suspect and most likely wouldn't be allowed in a new trial.
PJ turning out to be RJ would kind of be a betrayal of the whole series. This all works equally well for the lisbon theories.
Lets not forget the careers of every member of that team would be effectively over. Can you imagine the final scene of the series with the head of the CBI congratulating Lisbon and her team on capturing Red John and in the next breath placing them all on suspension pending an internal investigation.
Red John is known to have accomplices. If PJ turns out to be RJ would anyone believe that the members of Lisbons team were not accomplices. even if they were cleared that specter would follow them for the rest of their careers.
PJ as RJ would be the worst ending to the show.
