A couple of episodes later, the man reappears. He identifies himself as Homeland Security Agent Bob Kirkland, telling Lisbon that the Tommy Volker matter is being handled and that she should "take a step back".

After he leaves her office, he comes upon Jane. The two shake hands, and Kirkland tells Jane that he knows him, although Jane didn't know Kirkland.

In the next episode, Lorelei Martins tells Jane that he had already met and shaken hands with Red John. When Jason Lennon who admitted to being an accomplice of Red John awakes from an induced coma, he is interviewed by Kirkland.

He tells Kirkland that he remembers who shot him but says he does not recognize Kirkland. Kirkland then kills Lennon with an injection, making it appear Lennon has died of his injuries.

Kirkland tells Jane that Lennon "never said a word" before dying. They take pictures of the information on Red John that Jane has on display.

Kirkland is able to reproduce a near exact version of Jane's bulletin board on Red John, presumably including the references to Kirkland himself as a suspect.

Jane had had suspicions that he was being watched and realizes that his room has been broken into because he sees the toothpick he had been leaving of late between the door and the frame lying on the floor where it fell after Kirkland's men entered the premises, never noticing it.

Kirkland reappears in episode 4 of season 6. He is revealed to be responsible for killing names on a list of fake Red John suspects his men stole from Jane.

Once he learns that the list was fake from Jane, he kidnaps him. At the barn where he is being held captive, it is also shown that Richard Haibach is there, one of the men suspected of being the "San Joaquin Killer.

Smith informs him that the "Tyger, Tyger" quote is used by dirty officers of California Law Enforcement.

Smith is one of them. When he gives Kirkland the address to a safe house, he then shoots him to death while running to his freedom. He and the driver cover it up and before departing say, "Tyger, Tyger.

In the fifth season finale, Jane reveals to Lisbon that he has narrowed the Red John suspect list to seven names. Although it was initially believed that Red John wasn't involved in the murder, and that it was either the victim's husband or uncle, it is revealed that Red John committed the murder with the help of Miriam Gottlieb, a social worker who wanted Eileen Turner's child.

Gottlieb tricked Turner into separating herself from her volatile husband and moving into a motel, where Red John struck. In transit after her arrest, Gottlieb commits suicide by swallowing a cyanide pill, refusing, like almost all Red John's operatives, to be taken alive.

Martins reveals that Red John is very angry with her for revealing that Patrick and Red John had shaken hands, and that, in exchange for her making the recording, Red John will not "make her suffer so much".

The video reveals that Red John somehow knows the names of Patrick Jane's seven suspects:. Red John doesn't deny being one of these men. The killing of Eileen Turner marks the beginning of a new killing spree as Lorelei tells Jane that Red John will "start killing again In the premiere of season 6, Jane is highly disturbed at how Red John could deduce who he would have on his final list two months before finishing it, as well as have so much intimate knowledge of his memories and thought process.

At a loss as to what to do, Jane remains extremely cautious around the seven suspects while Lisbon goes behind his back and has all the suspects' cell phones installed with GPS trackers.

Infuriated that Lisbon went behind his back and played into Red John's hands, Jane and Lisbon have a falling out, with Lisbon eventually going to an abandoned house after receiving an anonymous tip at West Huron Street.

She calls SAC-PD; however, when she arrives at the address, a lady on the line informs her that they are temporarily unavailable.

She then hears a faint scream inside and enters. Inside, she finds the mutilated body of Brett Partridge, chanting "Tyger, Tyger", before dying, effectively revealing that he is not Red John.

It is revealed that Red John called in the anonymous tip, abducted and placed Partridge within the house to torture and murder him, knowing that Lisbon was tracking the suspects' phones and would arrive after learning that Partridge was in the house.

He abducts her and then uses her phone to call Jane, who has previously been attempting to call Lisbon to apologize for their earlier argument, and taunts him as he paints his signature smiley-face on her face with Partridge's blood.

However, Jane and the authorities locate Lisbon, who seems to have been left unscathed by Red John, confusing her and Jane.

As Jane ponders how Red John could have such intimate knowledge into his past and memories, he concludes that Red John must have had access to someone with such knowledge: Sophie Miller, Jane's old psychiatrist, who helped him regain his mental health after he suffered a breakdown in the wake of his family's murder.

After repeated attempts to communicate with Sophie fail, Jane visits her house, only to find her severed head in the kitchen oven, revealing her to be one of Red John's victims.

As it is revealed that Red John stole Sophie's personal files on her patients, Jane concludes that Red John most likely came to her in the guise of a patient in order to ply her for knowledge.

However, Red John didn't know that Sophie used an audio device to record her thoughts about her patients, using her unique ability to read people even if they attempt to hide their true emotions and personality.

With this knowledge, Jane is one step ahead of Red John with an additional description to narrow down his list of six suspects. Knowing about the tattoo and using it as his leverage, Jane plans to gather the remaining five suspects at his old house where he has ammunition.

He plans to attract each suspect individually, telling them he has critical information about Red John.

Jane promises Lisbon that she can accompany him during this process, but breaks his promise as he is worried about her safety.

Once the five suspects are together, Jane tells them that one of them is Red John. He pulls out his shotgun and asks that they all put their guns on the floor.

He then reveals what Tinsley told him about the tattoo and asks the men to reveal their left shoulders. First to reveal is Raymond Haffner and Bret Stiles, who do not have tattoos.

Sheriff Thomas McAllister reveals his arm and his tattoo, three dots, just as Tinsley described. Jane moves in to take a closer look at whom he now believes is the real Red John before Bret Stiles indicates for him to look at Gale Bertram and Reede Smith, who both have the same tattoo as the sheriff.

Now that three men have identical tattoos, a new window is opened to identify who Red John is; and whether Red John also has the tattoo. It is believed that the men who have these tattoos are all corrupt government officials who use the "Tyger, Tyger" phrase to cover up their unlawful work.

As Jane gathers them in his home, the house explodes with all five Red John suspects and Jane still inside. Police arrive, and Lisbon enters the house to discover Reede Smith.

She identifies the tattoo and shoots Smith, wounding him, but he escapes. Lisbon then sees Bertram and tells him Smith is Red John.

Bertram slips away as only Jane at this point knows he has the tattoo. An unconscious Jane is asleep at the hospital and Bertram attempts to kill him before being interrupted by Lisbon.

It is also revealed through DNA testing that the other Red John suspects were killed in the blast, although no bodies were seen. Jane and Lisbon then realize that Brett Partridge was chanting the phrase "Tyger, Tyger" to Lisbon just prior to his death, in the hope that she was a member and could help him.

When Agent Cho checks Partridge's body at the morgue to verify the tattoo confirming that he was a Blake member, he learns that Red John peeled away the section of skin on his shoulder where the tattoo would have been located, implying that Partridge was a member and Red John had attempted to cover up his affiliation to the group.

While Smith attempts to recover from his wound, the corrupt law enforcement organization he is a part of attempts to kill him before the CBI finds him, fearful that he will reveal their secrets.

After two attempts are made on his life, Smith decides to hand himself in to the CBI in exchange for protection, where he reveals that he joined the Blake Association after accidentally killing a twelve-year-old girl as a result of paranoia induced by pain medication he was addicted to at the time, eventually being cleared of the crime due to his ties with the Blake Association.

Since then, Smith has been a member of the group, helping fellow associates cover their own illegal acts, while developing more and more guilt over his own actions.

The name of the group and its code are derived from William Blake and his famous poem "The Tyger", implying that whoever controls the organization is an admirer of Blake's work.

Smith further reveals that Red John is part of the association, which was how he managed to poison Rebecca, one of his followers when she killed Bosco and his entire unit, as well as how he managed to have so many connections throughout law enforcement.

Jane then looks Smith in the eye and asks him if he killed his wife and daughter, at which point Smith states that he did not.

This prompts Jane to reveal at a press conference that Red John is Gale Bertram, who has since gone on the run with the aid of a fellow Blake associate named Oscar.

While hiding from the authorities, Bertram brutally murders a bartender who comes close to recognizing him on the news reports and evades capture by posing as a SWAT officer as other units, many of which he called in himself, arrive, allowing him to escape unseen in Oscar's vehicle.

With so much corruption being revealed to have infiltrated California's law enforcement agencies, along with Bertram seemingly revealed as Red John, an out of state FBI team led by Special Agent Dennis Abbot from Austin, Texas, is sent to disband the CBI, at which point Jane decides to "let go" but tells Lisbon he hasn't quit in his hunt for Red John.

The next day, as the FBI cleans out the CBI headquarters, Jane receives a phone call from Bertram, who is still on the run with the aid of Oscar, but cuts their conversation short when a police officer at the gas station he is calling from recognizes Bertram.

Before the officer can arrest him, Oscar shoots the officer dead and escapes with Bertram. Jane bides his time until Bertram calls him again, wishing to meet him to gain a sense of closure and believing that their rivalry has ended in an honorable tie.

Jane gets Bertram to meet him in the chapel at the cemetery where his wife and daughter are buried. Bertram reveals that he is not even a high-ranking member of the Blake Association and it is Red John who is one of the high members.

He does not know who Red John is but was ordered to lure Jane to a meeting so that he can be killed. He then orders Oscar to kill Jane.

McAllister thanks Oscar and then instructs him to leave to give him and Jane time to talk. As Jane asks why Bertram had to die, McAllister reveals that, as the world now believes Bertram to be Red John, it would be a fitting end for Jane to end up dying with his supposed nemesis.

The killer reveals that he has been the secret power controlling the Blake Association, having started it many years ago, and has been manipulating its thousands of members with their secrets and illegal acts, using his favorite poet, William Blake, and his poem "The Tyger" as inspiration for the name of the society and its inner communications.

With this secret organization at his disposal, in conjunction with the dozens of loyal followers he recruited, seduced, and brainwashed through Visualize, McAllister formed connections all over the state to spy for him, tamper with evidence, commit murders, and aid in his plans of building up his society and cult, as well as targeting Jane and people close to him.

While Red John gloats over his victories, Jane reveals that he knows how McAllister survived the explosion back at his home: he brought two bombs.

One was a concussion bomb that knocked out everyone in the room, at which point McAllister dragged Jane, Bertram, and Smith away from the more deadly bomb.

McAllister then brought in a dead body from the trunk of his car, which had its DNA records swapped with those of McAllister's courtesy of Brett Partridge, a member of the Blake Association whose job gave him access to the DNA primary data base and was later murdered by McAllister for knowing too much.

This body was placed next to Stiles and Haffner, both of whom perished in the explosion, leaving only Jane, Smith, and Bertram alive, while McAllister escaped before the authorities arrived.

McAllister knew that either Smith or Bertram would be accused of being Red John as they would be the only remaining suspects with ties to the Blake Association.

McAllister had then ordered for Smith to be killed before CBI could arrest him and had Bertram anonymously through the Blake Association lure Jane to a final meeting before Bertram was to escape the country, while also secretly ordering Oscar to aid the former CBI director and ensure his safety until Jane arrived, at which point he was to kill Bertram.

Before McAllister can kill Jane, Jane hands him a handful of bread crumbs and releases a pigeon from his jacket, startling McAllister, who had displayed a phobia of the creatures in a previous episode.

This revealed that Jane knew McAllister was Red John before meeting Bertram and deduced his phobia, which Sophia Miller previously speculated on also implying why he was unable to kill Lisbon previously as the house they were in during the season premiere contained pigeons.

Jane then snatches a gun he taped underneath one of the pews the previous day and shoots McAllister in the torso and Oscar dead when he enters to stop Jane; McAllister begs Jane not to kill him.

As Jane revels in finally knowing who his nemesis is and having him at his mercy, a startled woman enters the chapel and asks Jane to stop.

As Jane tries to calm the woman and get her to leave, she reveals herself to be another of Red John's agents and attempts to slit Jane's throat with a knife.

Jane knocks out the woman with a candle stand and, realizing that McAllister escaped during the commotion, leaves the chapel to chase the killer.

After being pursued through the cemetery, a neighborhood, and a playground, McAllister loses his stamina near a small pond and dials Jane kicks his nemesis, knocking the phone away from him, and grasps the man's throat.

As McAllister claims that he knew who would be on Jane's final list of suspects because he is a real psychic, Jane asks him two final questions to determine his honesty by looking at his eyes.

Asking McAllister to blink once for no and two for yes, Jane asks if he is sorry for murdering his wife and daughter and if he is afraid to die; McAllister blinks twice to both questions.

Satisfied with his answers, Jane then strangles McAllister to death. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Fictional serial killer.

In the season 2 episode "His Red Right Hand", it is revealed another man was killed when he interrupted his wife's murder at the hand of Red John.

Jane believes this occurred early in Red John's career and that Red John made a "mistake" due to his inexperience.

Jane believes Red John removed the body from the crime scene something he had otherwise not done to bury the mistake.

Red John also kills the two kidnappers, one of whom was male, but leaves alive a boy who the kidnappers blackmailed into looking like a criminal. Jane did this because he could think of no other way to protect society from Panzer.

He wakes them first, because he likes to see the fear in their eyes. He likes to hear them beg for mercy as he cuts them open. He doesn't leave clues.

If you have new evidence, it's because he wants you to have it. The question isn't 'What does it mean? Bruno Heller , show's creator, has said that Red John isn't a "pathetic loser who is hiding out in a basement somewhere", and that Jane is "not fighting the Green River Killer.

He's fighting Moriarty. It's like those Amazon tribesmen who throw spears at passing airplanes, then come to realize those planes are the seeds of a much larger civilization that is coming down on them.

In a radio interview Heller has also stated: "Red John is really just a personification of death, I mean it's that simple. Patrick Jane is very much alive and is very much about being alive in the face of death.

And Red John is the fate that awaits us all in the end. In season 2's finale episode "Red Sky in the Morning", a William Blake theme is introduced, when a person, who is believed at the time to be Red John, saves Patrick Jane from being killed under the direction of deranged slasher movie makers Ruth and Dylan.

Jane is tied with saran wrap to a chair and, while he is immobilized, Red John recites the first verse of the William Blake poem "Tyger Tyger" :.

In subsequent episodes season 3 , Jane wonders about this but doesn't tell anyone that Red John recited it to him. This makes Jane conclude that there is a connection between Johnson and Red John, but he doesn't tell anyone about this either.

This time it's from another poem, called " A Cradle Song ". Jane is not present at the time of the reciting, but it is quite out of character for Bertram to recite poetry, and the fact that it is a poem by the same author is probably more than a simple coincidence.

Bertram is later revealed to be among Jane's final list of Red John suspects. In the season 3 finale, Jane tells the entire team all that he knows and recites the first verse of "Tyger Tyger".

Kimball Cho knows the poem very well and recites the first two lines of the second verse:. When discussing what the poem means, Cho says, "Well, God made the lamb, but he also made the tiger.

You can't have light without darkness. Life without death. In Cho's interpretation, he refers to a third, and earlier poem by William Blake, called " The Lamb " to which "Tyger Tyger" is a response or a further musing on the different parts of creation and the reasons for them, as started in "The Lamb".

Actually, Blake himself refers to "The Lamb" in "Tyger! Smith pretends to know nothing about "Tyger Tyger" until he shoots Kirkland in the back six times when pretending to free him from a prison transfer, after which he tells the driver, who belongs to the same organization, "Tyger Tyger".

The driver replies with the same phrase. In the season 6 episode " The Red Tattoo ", a woman named Kira Tinsley Beth Riesgraf is murdered by a man with a tattoo containing three dots — she reveals this to Jane in her final moments.

Jane, believing that the man who killed Tinsley was Red John, gathers his five remaining Red John suspects into one location in " Fire and Brimstone " , only to find that three of his suspects have the identical tattoo of three dots, revealing that they are all part of the "Tyger Tyger" group of corrupt officials.

In the season 6 episode " The Great Red Dragon ", Smith decides to hand himself in after the same organization he is part of attempts to kill him, in the same way he killed Bob Kirkland.

Once he is alone with Lisbon and Jane, he reveals that he is a member of The Blake Association whose name is simultaneously first revealed , that they use the phrase "Tyger, Tyger" to identify fellow members, and that Red John is also a member of the Association.

He explains how he came to join the Association after accidentally shooting a year-old girl. The Association promised to clear his name and protect him if he agreed to join them and follow any instructions given to him, including murder.

As of season 5, Red John had killed a number of people, mostly women. This implies that only 11 women had been killed by the real Red John at the time of episode one.

Red John's disciples or operatives are willing and ready to assist him, including in acts of murder to either sabotage investigations or influence events.

Almost all die after serving their purpose s. These include:. At the start of the series, Red John was initially known as simply a serial killer who tortured and murdered mostly women, with at least eleven confirmed victims by the series' premiere.

However, Red John's persona would become much more mysterious as any individual who would come close to disclosing any crucial information regarding the killer to Jane would wind up dead themselves, implying that Red John is far more than just an average serial killer and has deep connections throughout the state.

It would later be revealed that Red John has a multitude of followers that see him as a savior who gave their life a purpose and willingly aid him in his various plans and murders in gratitude for what he gives them, which can range from a new life, an occupation, or some form of compensation.

His followers do not simply aid him, but worship him and willingly give their lives for his cause, refusing to ever reveal any information about their leader or how they met him.

Jane soon realizes that Red John is more powerful than he could ever imagine, having connections in law enforcement and an entire cult of brainwashed followers under his complete control and at his beck and call.

The character of Red John himself remained largely unseen from the beginning. His face was confined in the shadows when he escaped from the abandoned house in the first-season finale.

He may have appeared as a slim, dark-haired CHP motorcycle officer blue turtleneck, rather than blue tie to poison Rebecca using his left hand in "His Red Right Hand"; in the same episode, he is also seen in flashback.

In the second-season finale, "Red Sky in the Morning", a man claiming to be Red John appears in the flesh, wearing a black sweatshirt, apron and pants, black rubber gloves, a pair of charcoal boots, and a grotesque rubber mask that covers his face, making him look slightly similar to what many believe the real life serial killer Jack the Ripper donned during his murder hunts.

During the encounter, Red John keeps his face hidden behind a mask, preventing Jane from identifying him. This poem is alluded to numerous times throughout the series, before and after its reveal to Jane, with its contents making up the backbone of Red John's philosophy implying the reason for why it is his favorite poem of there being no such thing as life without death or light without darkness, something he tells his followers to get them into the correct mindset for their murders and exploits.

There have been further developments in season 5. In "Red Sails in the Sunset", Lorelei Martins reveals, in a moment of pique, that Red John is someone Jane knows by telling him that he and Red John are very much alike and she is surprised that they didn't become best friends "as soon as they shook hands".

This prompts Jane to compile a list of men he has shaken hands with, which would eventually be narrowed down to seven names.

After being locked in a holding cell in the CBI headquarters, Johnson says he will only talk to Jane, as he claims only Jane will understand what he has to say.

When the guard returns with Jane, Johnson has been set aflame and is writhing on fire. The reason behind Todd Johnson's cop killings is left unclear, but later seasons along with Johnson's knowledge of the phrase "Tyger, Tyger" would imply that their deaths were in some way connected to the "Blake Association".

Red John most likely ordered Johnson to murder various police officers who were close to discovering his society or were members themselves perhaps indicating why one of Johnson's victims was burned alive, probably in order to hide the organization's tattoo, which is marked on all members to better ensure loyalty who failed to complete their orders or were planning on turning themselves, and the association by extension, over to the authorities.

When Johnson realized that Red John would never let him live while he was in custody and surrounded by potentially corrupt officials, he was prepared to reveal everything he knew to Jane, before he himself is killed by another Red John operative, but still managed to utter the society's main form of communication to Jane.

Jane then begins a secret investigation of his own to track the killer. Red John, in the meantime, decides to exploit the opportunity to use Johnson's murder as a means to target another individual close to Jane and additionally cover up the identity of Johnson's true killer, who also served as his secret informant on the CBI.

Meanwhile, Special Agent J. With Jane's help, Hightower stages a hostile escape and is advised by Jane to remain in hiding, not only to evade the police but due to the danger imposed by Red John.

Hightower goes to stay with her sister. Jane, on a call with Lisbon during the shootout, tells her to use O'Laughlin's cell phone to redial the last number and tell the one who answered that O'Laughlin is dead.

When Lisbon does so, a phone rings near Jane and is answered by a man Timothy Carter, played by Bradley Whitford reading a newspaper and speaking in an odd, high-pitched voice.

After ending the call, Jane approaches the man and questions him. At first, the man appears upset and threatens to call security, but then smiles and says he was joking and claims he is Red John.

The two talk; the man reveals to Jane that he has a gun concealed in a folded newspaper and states that he is tired of killing and wants to start a new life, and encourages Jane to do the same.

Jane says he will not be able to move on until Red John is dead. The man begins to leave, but at Jane's insistence answers a question, revealing details about Jane's wife and daughter that Jane mistakenly presumes only Red John could know.

Jane vengefully shoots Carter with a gun he has hidden in his pocket. In season 4, Carter is shown to have been a Red John operative imposter.

In reference to the season 3 finale, the series creator, Bruno Heller , has stated: "What you get from that scene is what you should get. The viewer is supposed to be convinced.

Patrick Jane is certain it's Red John The thing is, Red John is a master of the mind game. If Red John wanted to die, maybe this is how he wanted to die.

Or maybe he just wants Jane to think he's dead. In the season 4 premiere it is revealed that Ron Deutsch, the bald security officer at the mall, was a Red John operative who removed crucial evidence from the scene.

Jane comes to believe the man he shot was not Red John, but Timothy Carter, a sadistic businessman who, with his equally twisted wife, Sally, had kidnapped a young woman Debbie Lupin, in whose search the couple cynically pretended to join.

Jane tricks Sally into revealing the girl's location. Sally is arrested by Lisbon and taken into custody, not to be heard from again, as she commits suicide in jail.

Jane convinces a jury that Carter was Red John and is acquitted, although Jane is already beginning to have doubts about that.

LaRoche, who is apparently leaving Major Crimes, to see Sally Carter, who committed suicide by slitting her wrists with a sharpened spoon, leaving a note about how lost she was now that her "God" by which she presumably means Timothy Carter is dead.

She feels his face and told him that she had never met the man before, confirming Jane's suspicion that Red John is "still out there somewhere".

By the episode " Blinking Red Light ", it is now widely believed that Red John is dead, with Jane and Lisbon the only ones aware he is still alive.

One of the people believing Red John to be dead is James Panzer, a blogger pretending to devote his life to find a serial killer known as "the San Joaquin Killer" abbreviated SJK, who has killed at least five young women.

In reality, Panzer is the killer. Jane suspects Panzer but initially lacks the proof to expose him. Panzer rises to the bait, making bold statements that the SJK killings were the work of a genius and Red John by comparison is a "common sociopath, lazy, sloppy, delusional" and already forgotten since Jane killed him.

Panzer then makes the same mistake made by Jane and Kristina Frye: belittling Red John in a public forum. A couple of hours after the television appearance, Panzer is found murdered, with Red John's smiley face painted in blood on one of the walls near his body.

Panzer's murder proves Jane's theory that Red John is still alive. This makes Panzer Red John's ninth male victim.

At this time, Red John is shown to be stalking Darcy via an uploaded video called "I Dare You" on the Major Crime server, which shows her in her apartment, unaware that she is being filmed.

The cameraman uploads an infobox saying, "She's cute, this is going to be fun". Jane reluctantly frames the late Thomas Maier, father of Panzer's first victim, for killing Panzer as revenge for SJK's victims — Maier had recently committed suicide.

The FBI closes the case, presumably leaving Darcy safe, as she will presumably drop her inquiry. In the episode " Red is the New Black ", Jane's efforts are later exposed and undone when Darcy refuses to let the case go after finding too many discrepancies.

Darcy interviews Rosalind Harker, Red John's blind ex-girlfriend and also the attendant of the morgue that Timothy Carter's body was taken to following his death.

Darcy subsequently realizes that Red John was still alive even though Jane has kept up the deception. Later, Harker contacts Jane and happily reveals Red John, once again under the alias "Roy Tagliaferro", has come to visit her for tea, promising to "sort things out" with Jane and Darcy.

As Harker speaks on the phone, a slim man, holding a tea cup in his left hand, and dressed in a smart, dark-coloured suit, is sitting nearby; Harker, when asked, confirms that "Roy" is present and listening.

Upon arrival, they find Harker alive and unhurt, playing her piano alone, seemingly sad that Red John "couldn't stay". In the season 4's penultimate episode " Red Rover, Red Rover ", Jane receives a message from Red John: an envelope with the words "Happy Anniversary" under the wiper of his car.

This marks Heller's nineteenth episode for the series and Long's twenty-second. Bruno Heller and star Simon Baker did an interview with Entertainment Weekly discussing the events of the episode and the series' future.

Here, Heller disclosed that he only decided on Red John's identity "over the last couple years" and it seemed like the "natural correct choice".

In a separate interview with TV Guide , Baker commented on the setting, saying "It just had to be the two of them", and describing it as "almost like a love scene".

Baker stated, "There is no human act more intimate — not even sex — than killing another human being with your bare hands and watching him die.

It is really subversive for a network series. The risk is huge. Can he begin a new life? And what kind of life does he want for himself, and how will he define himself, now that that part of his life is over?

In that way, a weight has been taken off the show. Jane has more freedom and a sense of possibility and liberty.

In his interview with TV Guide , Baker also revealed that he provided the voice of Red John in his past appearances and played the costumed character in season 2 's "Red Sky in the Morning".

Saying he was "stunned and flattered" and that "earning this little place in pop-culture history was the last thing [he] ever expected", Berkeley stated that he was only informed of the role earlier during season 6.

While negativity generally sprouted from imbalances in the episode and disappointment over Red John's identity, critics praised the performances of Baker and Berkeley, the score, as well as Red John's death scene.

In his review for Entertainment Weekly , James Hibberd expressed disappointment over the reveal, calling McAllister "shockingly dull" and comparing the story with the film Seven , in which the mystery of John Doe carried on for a few hours as opposed to the series' " hours and five years", which he deemed "maddening".

Mack Rawden of CinemaBlend was more positive in his review of the episode, feeling that Red John's identity made sense and saying McAllister had a "menacing voice".

And Red John is the fate that awaits us all in the end. In season 2's finale episode "Red Sky in the Morning", a William Blake theme is introduced, when a person, who is believed at the time to be Red John, saves Patrick Jane from being killed under the direction of deranged slasher movie makers Ruth and Dylan.

Jane is tied with saran wrap to a chair and, while he is immobilized, Red John recites the first verse of the William Blake poem "Tyger Tyger" :.

In subsequent episodes season 3 , Jane wonders about this but doesn't tell anyone that Red John recited it to him.

This makes Jane conclude that there is a connection between Johnson and Red John, but he doesn't tell anyone about this either.

This time it's from another poem, called " A Cradle Song ". Jane is not present at the time of the reciting, but it is quite out of character for Bertram to recite poetry, and the fact that it is a poem by the same author is probably more than a simple coincidence.

Bertram is later revealed to be among Jane's final list of Red John suspects. In the season 3 finale, Jane tells the entire team all that he knows and recites the first verse of "Tyger Tyger".

Kimball Cho knows the poem very well and recites the first two lines of the second verse:. When discussing what the poem means, Cho says, "Well, God made the lamb, but he also made the tiger.

You can't have light without darkness. Life without death. In Cho's interpretation, he refers to a third, and earlier poem by William Blake, called " The Lamb " to which "Tyger Tyger" is a response or a further musing on the different parts of creation and the reasons for them, as started in "The Lamb".

Actually, Blake himself refers to "The Lamb" in "Tyger! Smith pretends to know nothing about "Tyger Tyger" until he shoots Kirkland in the back six times when pretending to free him from a prison transfer, after which he tells the driver, who belongs to the same organization, "Tyger Tyger".

The driver replies with the same phrase. In the season 6 episode " The Red Tattoo ", a woman named Kira Tinsley Beth Riesgraf is murdered by a man with a tattoo containing three dots — she reveals this to Jane in her final moments.

Jane, believing that the man who killed Tinsley was Red John, gathers his five remaining Red John suspects into one location in " Fire and Brimstone " , only to find that three of his suspects have the identical tattoo of three dots, revealing that they are all part of the "Tyger Tyger" group of corrupt officials.

In the season 6 episode " The Great Red Dragon ", Smith decides to hand himself in after the same organization he is part of attempts to kill him, in the same way he killed Bob Kirkland.

Once he is alone with Lisbon and Jane, he reveals that he is a member of The Blake Association whose name is simultaneously first revealed , that they use the phrase "Tyger, Tyger" to identify fellow members, and that Red John is also a member of the Association.

He explains how he came to join the Association after accidentally shooting a year-old girl. The Association promised to clear his name and protect him if he agreed to join them and follow any instructions given to him, including murder.

As of season 5, Red John had killed a number of people, mostly women. This implies that only 11 women had been killed by the real Red John at the time of episode one.

Red John's disciples or operatives are willing and ready to assist him, including in acts of murder to either sabotage investigations or influence events.

Almost all die after serving their purpose s. These include:. At the start of the series, Red John was initially known as simply a serial killer who tortured and murdered mostly women, with at least eleven confirmed victims by the series' premiere.

However, Red John's persona would become much more mysterious as any individual who would come close to disclosing any crucial information regarding the killer to Jane would wind up dead themselves, implying that Red John is far more than just an average serial killer and has deep connections throughout the state.

It would later be revealed that Red John has a multitude of followers that see him as a savior who gave their life a purpose and willingly aid him in his various plans and murders in gratitude for what he gives them, which can range from a new life, an occupation, or some form of compensation.

His followers do not simply aid him, but worship him and willingly give their lives for his cause, refusing to ever reveal any information about their leader or how they met him.

Jane soon realizes that Red John is more powerful than he could ever imagine, having connections in law enforcement and an entire cult of brainwashed followers under his complete control and at his beck and call.

The character of Red John himself remained largely unseen from the beginning. His face was confined in the shadows when he escaped from the abandoned house in the first-season finale.

He may have appeared as a slim, dark-haired CHP motorcycle officer blue turtleneck, rather than blue tie to poison Rebecca using his left hand in "His Red Right Hand"; in the same episode, he is also seen in flashback.

In the second-season finale, "Red Sky in the Morning", a man claiming to be Red John appears in the flesh, wearing a black sweatshirt, apron and pants, black rubber gloves, a pair of charcoal boots, and a grotesque rubber mask that covers his face, making him look slightly similar to what many believe the real life serial killer Jack the Ripper donned during his murder hunts.

During the encounter, Red John keeps his face hidden behind a mask, preventing Jane from identifying him. This poem is alluded to numerous times throughout the series, before and after its reveal to Jane, with its contents making up the backbone of Red John's philosophy implying the reason for why it is his favorite poem of there being no such thing as life without death or light without darkness, something he tells his followers to get them into the correct mindset for their murders and exploits.

There have been further developments in season 5. In "Red Sails in the Sunset", Lorelei Martins reveals, in a moment of pique, that Red John is someone Jane knows by telling him that he and Red John are very much alike and she is surprised that they didn't become best friends "as soon as they shook hands".

This prompts Jane to compile a list of men he has shaken hands with, which would eventually be narrowed down to seven names.

After being locked in a holding cell in the CBI headquarters, Johnson says he will only talk to Jane, as he claims only Jane will understand what he has to say.

When the guard returns with Jane, Johnson has been set aflame and is writhing on fire. The reason behind Todd Johnson's cop killings is left unclear, but later seasons along with Johnson's knowledge of the phrase "Tyger, Tyger" would imply that their deaths were in some way connected to the "Blake Association".

Red John most likely ordered Johnson to murder various police officers who were close to discovering his society or were members themselves perhaps indicating why one of Johnson's victims was burned alive, probably in order to hide the organization's tattoo, which is marked on all members to better ensure loyalty who failed to complete their orders or were planning on turning themselves, and the association by extension, over to the authorities.

When Johnson realized that Red John would never let him live while he was in custody and surrounded by potentially corrupt officials, he was prepared to reveal everything he knew to Jane, before he himself is killed by another Red John operative, but still managed to utter the society's main form of communication to Jane.

Jane then begins a secret investigation of his own to track the killer. Red John, in the meantime, decides to exploit the opportunity to use Johnson's murder as a means to target another individual close to Jane and additionally cover up the identity of Johnson's true killer, who also served as his secret informant on the CBI.

Meanwhile, Special Agent J. With Jane's help, Hightower stages a hostile escape and is advised by Jane to remain in hiding, not only to evade the police but due to the danger imposed by Red John.

Hightower goes to stay with her sister. Jane, on a call with Lisbon during the shootout, tells her to use O'Laughlin's cell phone to redial the last number and tell the one who answered that O'Laughlin is dead.

When Lisbon does so, a phone rings near Jane and is answered by a man Timothy Carter, played by Bradley Whitford reading a newspaper and speaking in an odd, high-pitched voice.

After ending the call, Jane approaches the man and questions him. At first, the man appears upset and threatens to call security, but then smiles and says he was joking and claims he is Red John.

The two talk; the man reveals to Jane that he has a gun concealed in a folded newspaper and states that he is tired of killing and wants to start a new life, and encourages Jane to do the same.

Jane says he will not be able to move on until Red John is dead. The man begins to leave, but at Jane's insistence answers a question, revealing details about Jane's wife and daughter that Jane mistakenly presumes only Red John could know.

Jane vengefully shoots Carter with a gun he has hidden in his pocket. In season 4, Carter is shown to have been a Red John operative imposter.

In reference to the season 3 finale, the series creator, Bruno Heller , has stated: "What you get from that scene is what you should get.

The viewer is supposed to be convinced. Patrick Jane is certain it's Red John The thing is, Red John is a master of the mind game.

If Red John wanted to die, maybe this is how he wanted to die. Or maybe he just wants Jane to think he's dead. In the season 4 premiere it is revealed that Ron Deutsch, the bald security officer at the mall, was a Red John operative who removed crucial evidence from the scene.

Jane comes to believe the man he shot was not Red John, but Timothy Carter, a sadistic businessman who, with his equally twisted wife, Sally, had kidnapped a young woman Debbie Lupin, in whose search the couple cynically pretended to join.

Jane tricks Sally into revealing the girl's location. Sally is arrested by Lisbon and taken into custody, not to be heard from again, as she commits suicide in jail.

Jane convinces a jury that Carter was Red John and is acquitted, although Jane is already beginning to have doubts about that. LaRoche, who is apparently leaving Major Crimes, to see Sally Carter, who committed suicide by slitting her wrists with a sharpened spoon, leaving a note about how lost she was now that her "God" by which she presumably means Timothy Carter is dead.

She feels his face and told him that she had never met the man before, confirming Jane's suspicion that Red John is "still out there somewhere".

By the episode " Blinking Red Light ", it is now widely believed that Red John is dead, with Jane and Lisbon the only ones aware he is still alive.

One of the people believing Red John to be dead is James Panzer, a blogger pretending to devote his life to find a serial killer known as "the San Joaquin Killer" abbreviated SJK, who has killed at least five young women.

In reality, Panzer is the killer. Jane suspects Panzer but initially lacks the proof to expose him. Panzer rises to the bait, making bold statements that the SJK killings were the work of a genius and Red John by comparison is a "common sociopath, lazy, sloppy, delusional" and already forgotten since Jane killed him.

Panzer then makes the same mistake made by Jane and Kristina Frye: belittling Red John in a public forum. A couple of hours after the television appearance, Panzer is found murdered, with Red John's smiley face painted in blood on one of the walls near his body.

Panzer's murder proves Jane's theory that Red John is still alive. This makes Panzer Red John's ninth male victim. At this time, Red John is shown to be stalking Darcy via an uploaded video called "I Dare You" on the Major Crime server, which shows her in her apartment, unaware that she is being filmed.

The cameraman uploads an infobox saying, "She's cute, this is going to be fun". Jane reluctantly frames the late Thomas Maier, father of Panzer's first victim, for killing Panzer as revenge for SJK's victims — Maier had recently committed suicide.

The FBI closes the case, presumably leaving Darcy safe, as she will presumably drop her inquiry. In the episode " Red is the New Black ", Jane's efforts are later exposed and undone when Darcy refuses to let the case go after finding too many discrepancies.

Darcy interviews Rosalind Harker, Red John's blind ex-girlfriend and also the attendant of the morgue that Timothy Carter's body was taken to following his death.

Darcy subsequently realizes that Red John was still alive even though Jane has kept up the deception. Later, Harker contacts Jane and happily reveals Red John, once again under the alias "Roy Tagliaferro", has come to visit her for tea, promising to "sort things out" with Jane and Darcy.

As Harker speaks on the phone, a slim man, holding a tea cup in his left hand, and dressed in a smart, dark-coloured suit, is sitting nearby; Harker, when asked, confirms that "Roy" is present and listening.

Upon arrival, they find Harker alive and unhurt, playing her piano alone, seemingly sad that Red John "couldn't stay".

In the season 4's penultimate episode " Red Rover, Red Rover ", Jane receives a message from Red John: an envelope with the words "Happy Anniversary" under the wiper of his car.

In the cemetery where Jane's wife and daughter are buried, a little girl named Hailey Emma Rayne Lyle approaches him and says, "Hello, Patrick.

She says, "He told me to ask you a question Lisbon says to Patrick that Red John wants to play with his mind. It's just a game, and he keeps winning.

The only way for me to stop him is if I stop playing. He gets arrested. Lorelei bails him out, and the two have sex in Jane's apartment.

The next day, Lorelei reveals herself as an associate of Red John and says her presence in Jane's life is "a gift". She brings forward Red John's proposal for friendship and a 'change' in Jane's lifestyle to help him overcome his depression.

Jane is shocked and tells Lorelei to get out. However, he later confides to Lisbon that his breakdown had been tailored to get Red John to believe Patrick was really giving up.

Red John communicates through Lorelei that he will only meet Jane in person if he kills Lisbon and brings him her head as a "present".

The CBI team executes a plot where they fake the murders of Lisbon and Rigsby at the hands of Jane, and the team goes into hiding. Parents Guide.
