First, excuse my English, I'm not a very good speller.

My theory:
I was thinking that maybe Red John is a
part of an old secret society with a lot of
powerful people. They all do horrible stuff,
does not have to be murders but just bad stuff.
Then Red John goes "bananas", his killing,
everything. But he warnes the people in the
society to not tell caus' if they do that he will
out all the shit they have done and that could
mean loosing power-positions, money,
respect, going to jail. So they stay silent.
Red John keeps doing what he does.

The closer Jane gets the other men gets more
nervous, so they help Red John in the ways
they can. By now they are not only afraid of
loosing power and such, most of them have
familys, and they know what Red John does
to people, to familys.

Maybe the meeting point for Brett Styles and
Red John was when RJ started at that ranch
with the sign on the wall. Maybe that was the
point where Brett Styles started his loyalty to
RJ - RJ swore to be silent, and Brett Styles
could build his imperium. In one episod Brett
Styles gave Jane a piece of paper with info on
it but it needed to be hush hush and he would
never help him again.

They know what RJ does.
So they are scared shitless now that Jane is getting
closer, thats why they are talking to eachother,
they have everything to loose.
Jane has nothing to loose (Well Lisbon, but will
he stop?) he will keep going, he will hunt RJ
to the end of the world if he needs to.

The whole thing in the mall, it was only a way
for RJ to see what Jane would do. Would he
kill him? Would he cry? Would he let him go?
Yada yada yada, it was only to gain power.

That's what I was thinking.
