"Red John" is the eighth episode of the sixth season of The Mentalist. Written by series creator Bruno Heller and directed by longtime director and executive producer Chris Long, the episode marks the conclusion to the series' long-running Red John storyline, which had been developing for the entirety of the series. It is also the final episode of the series to incorporate the word or concept of the color red into the episode's title. "Red John" originally aired on November 24, 2013.
In the episode, Patrick Jane, now considered a fugitive, finally comes face-to-face with Red John, the serial killer he has hunted for ten years following the man's murder of Jane's wife and daughter. Meanwhile, the California Bureau of Investigation (CBI) falls under the pressure of an FBI investigation on the team.
Lisbon (Robin Tunney) walks into an empty office currently being cleared out by the FBI. Supervisory Agent Dennis Abbott (Rockmond Dunbar) gathers Lisbon and the rest of her team to explain that they are now under federal investigation due to the likelihood of them also being criminals alongside CBI director Gale Bertram (Michael Gaston), who is publicly believed to be Red John.
At a gas station, Bertram calls Jane using a payphone, but their conversation is cut short when a police officer recognizes Bertram. Bertram's accomplice Oscar Cordero (Joe Nieves) shoots the officer dead and the two leave.
