Theory #9020 • By Ray,K
Show this theory

Hi!

My new crazy theory is that RJ is some random guy who is a mentalist too. RJ has manipulated PJ to kill people. 

This is a very short theory (and not my main theory), but I think it is possible.

I noticed something after watching season 5 episode 18 where Kirkland killed red john man lennon, after that jane came to him and kirkland called him patrick but in Season 6 episode 4 when jane wants to talk to kirkland in homeland security building, Kirkland called him Jane. 

And sometimes I do feel that kirkland is two different people. at times he seems close with lisbon drinking coffee with her and talk a abit about his past but when he was with betram in his office even lisbon said to him "how could you talk without saying anything" something like that. At that time kirkland seems cold toward lisbon. LIke he never went with lisbon all day finding Jane and lorelei all over california.

So I guess I'm still going with the twin theory. 
Add u to that after seeing the latest episode I have my doubt that one of the remaining 5 is red john. They seems to not have much caliber to be red john to be honest.

Well, I have many days reading some impressive theories here; it has been my hobby this week. This is maybe my favorite show because has catched my attention, at the point of having me here putting a theory

First thing I want to say is that we have the believe whats Heller has said on interviews like "we can trust the list" and "I decided who was RJ many times ago" and "Brett Partridge is dead" simply because he can't go out saying lies on interviews and expect that people can trust him later. Many people who write stories think in the final first before even start. What I can say is that all the things that Bruno says on the interviews are ambiguities... Now that you know my opinion, here there are theories...

1- Partridge could be alive. He can be the one who has two personalities Brett Partridge and Red John. He killed his Brett Partridge side when Jane discovered the seven suspects. RJ has followed Jane steps since Patrick said he will catch him; being also a mentalist RJ could easy figure out the 7 suspects. Including himself Partridge. He could fake his death immediately to avoid Patrick suspect of him. 

2- Another theory is that BP is actually dead and that Tyger tyger organization has nothing to do with Red John and he just wanted to keep Jane busy; thats why maybe he told to Partridge about the cops and Tyger Tyger stuff before kill him. Just to mislead Jane and the team.

3- If Partridge is actually dead; Ray Haffner is Red John  because fits with all the descriptions and Stiles covers him. But also can be a trick from Heller, not because he fits means he is.

4- Another crazy thing that is in my mind is that Red John manipulated Jane by planting all the clues to confuse Patrick. RJ is smart enough to do that. Threes of the suspects have phobias, two of them are members of Visualize, three of them are members of  Tyger Tyger, all of them fit in some point with Rosaline description, some of them have a strange voice.... you got my the point.

Sorry my english, not my first language.

Brett Partridge would definitely have three dots on his shoulder.

Now, while re-watching the latest episode, I noticed this:

When PJ asked the suspects to show their left shoulders, McAllister looked at his hat for a brief moment, then glanced away. That scene was not consistent with the scenes before and after. Go back to the episode and re-watch that scene. Is it possible that the bomb was under his hat?

Now regarding the promo of the next episode. What is the bigger lie? Is it the death of partridge?

What actually happens in Patrick's house?


There is 1 gunshot fired, then a large period of time later: a Bomb Blast.

I firmly believe that the 1 gunshot fired kills the man who murdered Jane's family (not Red John). Patrick goes into the room where his family were murdered and stares intensely. It is very serious preparation, Patrick is riling himself up. 

Ok, so if you read Theory: 8938: http://www.whoisredjohn.com/See-a-theory-Red-John/8938

You learn:

-Bertram is a triple agent - a good guy! (read the theory to understand he is one of Robert Kirkland's men)

-Bertram knows Kirkland
-Bertram knows McAllister
-Bertram knows Smith

Proof they are all cops on the inside of the Tiger Tiger:-

1. Bruno Heller says Red John has bad intentions for some of those on the list.

2. Kirkland is not a retard. There is a missing coffee, as he has just met with Bertram again. He does not randomly choose a low-level agent to confide the Tiger Tiger message to. He asks Bertram "Can we trust her?" to Lisbon. Lisbon is the most honest cop there is. He sneaks up on Smith unsuspectingly though, noone told Smith that Kirkland knows he's undercover. Kirkland found out via Bertram over coffee. Anyway, Smith helps Kirkland stage his death when they're both on the same page. They make a big show in front of the van driver. 

3. It is no co-incidence 3 suspects, meet the day after Partridge is "dead". Bertram is still keen for Patrick to tell them when he's close to catching Red John. They’re all good guys.

4. Patrick reassures them he knows they're being watched. "I've always suspected this room was bugged... wired." 

5. Ok, when those 3 reveal their tattoos, they have this look on their face: First, it looks like Hate. But they're saying "You’re smart, you KNOW we're undercover- you better not shoot me!"

6. Patrick separates those 3 suspects. Then he shoots Ray Haffner, the man who murdered his wife and child, and painted a smiley on Lisbon's face. Haffner is not Red John.

7. Here comes the explanation : Ray Haffner is the Halloween Masked Man.
 

Quote Brett Partridge: “He’s been laying low for years, working through friends and proxies.”
 

-       
When Halloween Masked Man saves PJ from the copycats, he shoots left-handed
 
-       The way Ray Haffner walks, is the same as the Halloween masked man 
-       Halloween masked man paints Lisbon’s face taking care Brett Partridge uses the phone, while Haffner paints. 
-       Haffner is in Lisbon’s dream 
-       Halloween masked man pats Jane on the shoulder, the same way Haffner pats Cho after their talk
-       Ray Haffner looks like he was a football player, he won the “Heisman” trophy (Renfrew’s only clue) 
-       Surveillance expert- easily knows he was bugged + easily tracks down Jared Renfrew

Watch the video above. 

Haffner is moving like a robot. Because he’s actually waiting before Brett Partridge speaks, before he can carry out an action. He waits for the voice to act on 3 occasions: 

-       
He walks to the copycats. Cue Pause for voice. Then slashy time.
 
-       He walks to Patrick’s chair. Cue voice. Then lifts it up
-       He leans into Patrick’s face for like 3 seconds before spitting out the first word of the poem. 

 
 8. Brett Partridge is Red John. Red John bombs the suspect’s meeting later, according to Rigsby. Bruno Heller did say it wasn’t a good list to be on.

9. By this time Patrick Jane has had plenty of time to question Bret Stiles. Patrick must know something. He is clearly uninjured from the bomb blast. 

-Patrick survives. 
-Haffner is dead already. 
-Bertram survives. -Smith survives.
-Red John’s bomb kills Sherriff McAllister.
-Bret Stiles was probably saved by Brett Partridge/dead

In my first theory, #6096, I logically concluded Red John would kill Sherriff Thomas McAllister thus proving Brett Partridge is Redjohn. Since then I have proved it in different ways. But if you want to see a theory I posted 3 weeks ago.

Its Bertram, McAllister is dead, Smith is going to be arrested in the next epsiode. (http://entwife-incognito.tumblr.com/image/63553252457)


In the promo for episode 7 we hear Lisbon say we've got him. That means Bertram is the only one left
