The Mentalist

Previously on "The Mentalist"...

We need to find Kira Tinsley.

She either works for Red John,

or she's about to become his next victim.

Who did this to you? Tell me.

Jane, what did she say?

She told me Red John has a tattoo on his left shoulder--

three dots.

That's my leverage.

Jane. Hello, Lisbon.

Jane, don't do this, not without me.

Listen, I'm sorry.

Jane, I am begging you. You're in danger!

I-it's gonna be okay. I-I'm gonna be okay.

No, you're not. You do this,

and you're throwing your life away.

Bye, Lisbon.

Jane... no.

A tattoo?

Yes.

That we can use to identify Red John?

Yes. That's great.

So all we have to do is check each one of the suspects

one by one until we find out who has the tattoo.

No.

Why not?

Red John doesn't know I know about the tattoo.

Okay.

So if we start checking suspects,

it's very likely that Red John will find out.

And disappear before we have a chance of getting him.

Exactly.

Then what do you want to do?

Gather all five suspects together

at the same place, same time,

and then start checking for the tattoo.

And how do we do that?

We'll ask them.

And you think they'll agree?

Wasn't planning on giving them a choice.

Even so, there's a problem.

Bret Stiles--he's wanted by the F.B.I.

In connection to two homicides.

Yeah. Cold cases from over 20 years ago.

You're kidding. After all this time,

the F.B.I. is moving in now?

Well, they must have found something new--

forensics, a witness. Well, where's Stiles?

Well, that's the thing. Nobody knows,

not even the F.B.I. Stiles disappeared weeks ago.

We'll find him.

How?

I don't know, but we'll find him.

We have to.

I'm on board with your plan.

Good.

On one condition.

I want to be there when you reveal Red John.

Okay.

Seriously.

I said okay. Yeah, but you didn't mean it.

Did I not? Uh, how can you tell?

This is non-negotiable, Jane.

I agree 100%.

I think I've made myself clear, agents.

I have no knowledge of Bret Stiles' whereabouts.

You have to cooperate.

Yes, and we've made it clear that we're not buying it.

Stiles leaves you in charge of Visualize,

but he keeps you in the dark about where he's hiding?

Doesn't make sense.

Stiles has and always will

put the church's needs before his own.

This time is no different.

He doesn't want me to know because he wants to protect me.

And because he doesn't want to be found.

I doubt Bret Stiles is worried about being found.

You seem confident.

Call it faith.

You see, Stiles' time

in our... reality is limited.

Huh? As we speak,

he's preparing his mind and body

for a departure from the confines

of our material world.

He's dying?

That is a very naive,

very ignorant way of looking at it.

Bret Stiles is not dying. Bret Stiles cannot die.

He is elevating himself to another plane,

one lesser men like ourselves can only strive to reach.

And one some of us obviously can't comprehend.

Coffee--one cream, one sugar.

Thanks, Russell.

Forensics is here when you're ready.

Send them over.

Get his I.D. for me, will you?

You know how I am about heights.

Sure.

Oh, and, uh, someone's here to see you.

Thanks.

There's been a breakthrough in the Red John investigation.

I have some new information.

Some very significant information.

Okay. What is it?

No, no. Not yet.

I'm not sure who I can trust.

I'm not even sure I can trust you.

Red John has some very powerful allies.

Patrick, come on.

Okay, but not here.

Meet me at 8:00 on Thursday night.

Thursday? Why?

I need time to find a safe place to meet.

Fine. Where?

I'll let you know the day of.

This is crazy.

I've made the mistake of underestimating Red John

a number of times now.

I don't want to make that mistake again.

If you want the information, it's on my terms.

Okay.

Thursday night.

This is Sheriff McAllister.

Sheriff? Patrick Jane.

Hello, Patrick. How are things?

Good. Good.

I'm calling because I had a question.

Shoot.

Last month when I was in Napa,

you said that you were at my disposal.

Yes, I remember.

Did you mean what you said?

I like to think I'm a man of my word.

Oh, I don't doubt it.

But can I count on you for your help?

Can I count on you?

Of course.

Thursday night at 8:00 I'll need your help.

Well, then you've got it.

Thank you.

I'll let you know where to be the day of.

Patrick?

Yeah?

This is about Red John, isn't it?

Thursday night.

They're ready for you, sir.

Thank you, Evelyn.

Also, this came for you.

Hmm?

Hmm.

You are here tonight

to witness my ascension.

My ascension from this world

to a world beyond.

Do not mourn me, my children,

for this is not a passing,

but a departure.

And I promise...

I... will...

return!

Listen to me, Don, you don't have a mistress.
