ARGUMENTATION

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.
