The Mentalist 5X22: Red John's Rules
🕑 Added 2026-01-28 21:01:18 +0000 UTCRed John reappears and kills a young woman named Eileen Turner at a motel. He leaves a phone number on the wall which leads Jane and Lisbon to her social worker, Miriam (Laura San Giacomo).
She tells them to find her husband, Roddy Turner as the team also try to determine where Eileen's child, Caitlyn may be.
Jane immediately recognizes his address as the same as where he lived with his carney folk in Carson Springs.
He meets his old friends, Pete (M. C. Gainey) and Samantha, and Roddy is Pete's nephew.
Rigsby and Cho apprehend Roddy.
Jane realizes Eileen was the niece of a man named Sean Barlow who was close with Jane's father. Jane tells Lisbon that he feels like Red John reached into his mind and killed a happy memory, that of Eileen as a young child.
Meanwhile, a year later, Jane has finally managed to create a final list of suspects to be Red John, consisting of seven people but is hesitant in sharing the names with an exasperated Lisbon.
Jane revisits Pete who tells him Sean Barlow had disowned Eileen and was a violent man.
Jane and Lisbon pay Sean Barlow (Michael Hogan) a visit which leaves Lisbon spooked when he reads her and tells her she might be "a little in love with Jane." He also has no alibi for the night of the murder.
The maid at the motel who had discovered Eileen's body mentions that she had noticed that all the items for the baby including diapers were gone.
Jane and Lisbon go to Eileen's social worker and tell her that they have given out information that Caitlyn was left with her knowing that only the innocent man, genuinely looking for Caitlyn, would show up. However, both Sean and Roddy show up.
Jane uses Miriam's phone to call Van Pelt who traces her last call where Jane and Lisbon find Caitlyn. Jane tells her that he realised the person who took away the baby was someone frugal and organised and possibly a woman who wanted a baby.
Miriam tells them that she didn't adopt because this way she got to help Red John who has been a good friend to her and it was important to him that it was Eileen. She gives Patrick a CD from Red John.
On the way to prison, she swallows a pill killing her.
Jane plays the CD for Lisbon - a video of Lorelei Martins reading out a message from Red John where he tells Patrick that he wanted to destroy a happy memory that Jane had told no one about and wanted the investigation to lead Jane to this CD. He says that by making his list Jane had changed the game and now Red John would kill more till one of them catches the other.
Calling Lorelei's information about the handshake a lucky break, he then reads out the names he knows are on Jane's list - Bret Stiles (Malcolm McDowell), Gale Bertram (Michael Gaston), Ray Haffner (Reed Diamond), Reede Smith (Drew Powell), Bob Kirkland (Kevin Corrigan), Sheriff Thomas McAllister (Xander Berkeley) and Brett Partridge (Jack Plotnick), leaving Jane visibly angry.
