THE THEORIES

Is anybody else wondering where the con is? Patrick is known for his long cons to catch people from week to week, yet the last 2 episodes have shown no signs of any kind of con. At least none that I can spot. I feel like we are missing some key info such as the gun shot before the explosion. Something is going on that we, the audience, haven't been privy to as of yet. Not sure if any of the team is in on the con or if it's just Patrick by himself, but there is no way that there isn't some kind of scam going on. Maybe McAllister is in on it, but I just don't know. For the first time since the show began, I am completely lost and I hate admitting that.

On a side note, is anyone else having trouble accessing the site in the last 24 hours? Wondering if I'm having internet problems or if this site is having server problems.

I really want Brett Partridge to be Red John.

It's obvious that Bertram isn't Red John. Jane would never go on TV and announce it, it's clearly a trick to lure the real RJ out. If you watch Americ's reaction video to watching the Red John episode, it's very clear that there are big twists in the next episode, and that RJ's real identity will come as a surprise. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWYpReqi678)

If everyone is believing "McAllister/Haffner is alive and they are RJ" now, then why can't us Brett fans hold on to the last glimmer of hope that Brett Partridge is still alive and that he is in fact RJ. After all, we didn't see Brett's face.

I know that it appears to be McAllister/Bertram in the promo, but come on, they would never be that stupid to show Red John in the actual promo.

To be honest, I will be disappointed if RJ is Bertram (boring), McAllister (irrelevant) or Stiles (old). I did like Kirkland as RJ, but think bringing him back now is too random since he hasn't been mentioned in the past too episodes. I do like Haffner for RJ, however, but It would need to be revealed in a shocking way. But mostly, I love Brett because he is the only character that I get "creepy" vibes from.

Fanfiction; The events in "Red John." I hope you like it.

First of all. We return to Patrick in church. Thomas McAllister walks down the aisle and proclaims victory. Patrick pulls out a gun and shoots McAllister in his side. McAllister asks for mercy, and after some dialogue, Patrick surprisingly spares him. Patrick warns him to leave him alone.

Patrick goes to the graveyard where his wife and daughter are buried. McAllister shows up, and a chase ensues. It ends with McAllister crashing through the glass of someone's home. Patrick catches up and McAllister says "I'm not Red John, Patrick. But he would like to meet you." When the meeting is arranged, Patrick goes and tells Teresa. According to Bloodyfingers' theory, Teresa Lisbon is bugged. So Red John hears Patrick will kill him this time, and sends someone else.

But also according to Bloodyfingers' theory, Patrick has known that Red John is Brett Partridge since season 5 episode 8, since Lorelei Martins told Patrick he had met Red John. He deduced it from Rosalynd Harker's description. And Patrick has been pulling his greatest ever trick for a whole season. (Full details of this Huge trick using the List: Theory 11340)  



Question: What has Patrick achieved in not catching Partridge, and making this list of people he suspected, to be involved with Red John?
________________________________________________

The middle of the episode: Cue Flashbacks: THE WHOLE EPISODE IS LIKE FLASHBACKS!

Robert Kirkland can be seen talking to Virgil Minelli. He is persuading Minelli to retire so Gale Bertram, a spy in Tyger Tyger, could be more useful as CBI Director. Minelli accepts as they both agree its necessary to catch Red John- California's notorious serial killer.

Bertram, McAllister and Smith are talking in an office. It turns out they are in Tyger Tyger as undercover agents. Each and every one of them. They are involved in the clean-up of California law enforcement.

The arrest of Michael Kirkland is shown on-screen, with further flashbacks showing him calling her "Agent Lisbawn" and killing Jason Lennon. It concludes with him finally being shot and framed as the murder of "Bob Kirkland."

Jane's House
Jane got a military-grade bomb from the company he helped in episode 2 of season 6. Teresa Lisbon's phone is left in his car, after he steals it from her, ready for the meeting of the suspects.

Inside the house, Jane takes his shotgun and he points it at Ray Haffner who is sporting a vertical 3 dot tattoo. Haffner yells "No wait!" "BOOM!" Patrick fires, aiming above him. The bullet misses as intended. There's a shot of Lisbon's phone, and Partridge overhearing what's happened. First Patrick says to Reede "You shot Michael, right?" When Reede confirms this, then Patrick tells the entire plan to the 3 undercover agents, while holding Stiles and Haffner under duress. While McAllister is to report back to Red John, after kidnapping Stiles and Haffner, Reede Smith and Gale Bertram will become fugitives.

McAllister is in a larger vehicle, and he sees Lisbon speeding past. He phones Patrick, he says "She's almost there. Good luck."

"BOOM!" There's a shot of Partridge overhearing the blast. He says "Wow I'm good." Partridge has no idea these 3 followers are actually working against him.

Patrick blows up his house. Patrick is sedated. Gale Bertram and Reede immerse themselves into their roles as fugitives. They realise it is truly necessary to portray themselves as vicious Tyger Tyger members so Red John does not suspect Patrick's powerplay.

While Bertram assumes his new identity and Reede is on the run, McAllister takes Stiles and Haffner to the same place Robert Kirkland is being kept. Then McAllister returns to Red John, claiming he survived a bomb blast, but Haffner and Stiles are dead. Partridge is too distracted by the loss of these precious men to wonder how the others survived.

While Bertram is playing "fugitive", he leaves a flash drive for the CBI to find. It contains the names of every California agent in the "Blake Association."

Patrick announces to the media that Gale Bertram is Red John, once Smith is safely surrendered. Partridge thinks he's won. He hears Patrick say to Lisbon, "I'm letting go." He tells McAllister to return to Patrick, as Patrick will believe he is Red John, because he suspected Bertram and Reede.
____________________________________________


Answer: Patrick has completely exposed Red John's "Blake Association" and taken control of Red John's main Visualize link. Noone is going to avenge Red John.


*RETURN TO PRESENT ACTION*

Patrick knows Brett Partridge won't be able to resist coming to witness Patrick murdering another person he thinks is Red John. The meeting is in a park. Patrick takes his final tentative steps towards the person Partridge has laid out for Patrick. Patrick keeps his eyes peeled near the site, to see where Partridge's vantage point could be.

HE SEES PARTRIDGE ON A BENCH QUITE FAR AWAY WATCHING HIS MEETING! PATRICKS BOLTS AFTER HIM!

Partridge's face is like "OH SSHHH", "WTF IS GOING ON", and "IT HURTS TO RUN" all in one go. Patrick chases him like a monster, and jumps on Partridge, pinning him to the floor furiously. The Fury in Patrick's was at peak as Partridge recounts the story of how he knew Patrick from the carnival. As Partridge finishes his choked last words, there are tears falling from his cold dead face. The fury remained in Patrick's eyes. After a minute or so, Patrick unclasped his hands, he gets up and looks at the sky.The sun was shining. It was a beautiful day.

Thanks for reading. I hope you had fun on this site. I know I did.

The hit CBS TV show The Mentalist, shown in Canada on CTV, is full of riddles, mysteries, and anagrams connecting the show to a shocking side of Roman history most people don't know.The truth about Bret Stiles, the "Visualize" cult leader, and Brett Partridge, the forensics expert so many fans think is Red John, has finally been solved! The following study explains it all! But first, how to decode BRET STILES and BRETT PARTRIDGE: 

Gaius Julius Caesar Strabo = Gnaeus Pompeius Strabo
To decode Bret Stiles, who represents the white-haired elderly father of Julius Caesar and Pompey the Great in ancient Rome, you have to use steganography, a code-breaking technique where you simply get rid of the debris to tease out the hidden message. It is one of the most secure methods of writing codes, because it can only be deciphered by people who already know what types of words might be hidden. Bruno Heller has altered a few letters, but the truth is plain to see! 

GAIUS JULIUS CAESAR STRABO 
xxxx S   xx LI xx   xxx S xx  xTRAB x 

S LI S TRAB reversed is
BART S IL S or BRET STILES (a "stile" is a set of steps used to walk over a Roman wall in Britain) 
To decode Brett Partridge, who represents Octavius, (according to the new study excerpted below, his real name would have been Gaius Julius Caesar Strabo the eighth) Caesar's gay lover who helped him butcher Caesar's daughter Julia in 54 BC, then gave Octavius the baby she was pregnant with to raise as his own daughter Julia (Remember the two gay guys who stole Elaine's armoir on the street in the Soup Nazi episode of Seinfeld? Then the Soup Nazi, as Caesar, gave her another baby/armoir, but after he got angry at her, she threatened to tell everyone his secrets. Wait, does this mean Gaius was guarding the BABY or the TOWER in Britain? No, Larry david and Jerry Seinfeld must have been switching metaphors, using the armoir as the tower, but also as the baby, and also as the place where Julia found the documents that would allow her to claim her cement-company fortune) : 

GAIUS JULIUS CAESAR STRABO STRABO 
G x I xx xxxxxx    xxxxxx    x TRAB x x TRAB x 

G I TRAB TRAB reversed is
BART BART I G or BRET PARTRIDGE (as others have pointed out, there is a work by William Blake, "A Brace of Partridge") 

More proof that "The Mentalist" is secretly about the Roman Caesar family's role in the invention of Christianity!
[Note: I recently rewatched "Red All Over", and Bret Stiles seemed to be telling Patrick Jane, while still acting creepy so as to not blow his cover if Red John is watching, that he's going to help Patrick bring down Red John. As I'd already guessed that Bret Partridge is Brett Stiles' relative, now with the information below, it's clear that Octavius was Strabo's great-grandson. So is Bret Stiles the grandfather of Brett Partridge? It's good news for Jane if he is, because Strabo disapproved of Julius, so he wanted to help bring him down! The bad news for Jane is that Octavius helped kill Julia - that would be how that one guy knew Jane's wife's toenails were painted in blood! Brett Partridge was the friend of Red John's who told him! Because he helped kill Jane's wife! Octavius was Caesar's gay teenage lover, hence Brett painting her toenails.]

Excerpt of "New Study: Lives of the Rich and Famous Are Controlled by the A.C.F."
Certain family trees have clearly been “unzipped”, a way of subtly hiding the prevalence of first cousin, uncle to niece, and even sibling marriages within large aristocratic families. If one key individual, born from siblings, married to a niece, and then forcing their own grandchildren to marry, is given a disguised version of their true name and said to have come from a family whose specific members are unknown, a key incestuous link is removed. The missing person is then replaced by a similar name that is also missing specifics, a clue to elite scholars, says the study.“Pompey, a member of the immediate family of Julius Caesar, is one of the more well-known examples of unzipping. When the ruling families of Rome decided to allow the Caesar family into their genetic circles to acquire their light hair and gray eye color, there was no limit to the inbreeding that occurred over the next few generations, as they were considered new blood,” claims the report, which states as its goal to increase public awareness as to why celebrity and political figures behave in such strange ways, undermining the public good while living in fear of horrendous potential consequences if they veer from their given agenda of promoting cultural values similar to those of ancient Rome, now that Christianity is being “set up for the fall” through A.C.F., which seems to trust that the “charitable” slave population Christianity was designed to create is secure.“Julius Caesar’s father, referred to as both Gaius Julius Caesar Strabo and Gnaeus Pompeius Strabo, was married first to his niece Cornelia Sulla, resulting in Pompey the Great, Cornelia, and Pompeia, then eight years later fathered Julius Caesar by another wife. Thus Pompey was marrying his half-niece when he married Caesar’s daughter Julia, and Caesar twice married a half-sister, first Cornelia, the mother of Julia, then Pompeia. By removing Pompey and claiming two different paternal lines, it becomes a family guided by political alliances, rather than a sickening attempt to produce a blond royal prince at all costs.”

I think both theories for mcallister and patridge are the best choices and the most plausible for the plot.But if in the end mcallister is red john it will bump me the fact that the gave it away with the 6x8 promo.
