'The Mentalist' Season 6 Spoilers: Patrick Jane Tortured for Red John Information, Tracked by Homeland Security VIDEO
The Mentalist's Patrick Jane will not be content to simply catch Red John; he means to kill him.
As Jane (Simon Baker) draws closer to his goal, his life and the lives of those around him are put in danger. Meanwhile, Jane finds out that Red John isn't the only one keeping tabs on him.
In next week's "Red Listed," someone outside Agent Lisbon's (Robin Tunney) team is intent on finding out the names of Jane's Red John suspects. In a ploy to smoke the culprit out, Jane creates a fake list that is subsequently stolen, according to Spoiler TV. However, the men on the list begin to turn up dead.
'The Mentalist' Red John Suspects Fit Into New Plot? Bruno Heller Teases Series Post-Serial Killer
When Jane does manage to come face to face with the new killer, he finds himself in a dangerous situation. Tied up and interrogated by the suspect, Jane comes very close to losing a finger or two, according to a new promo.
While this hiccup in the investigation plays out, Jane is also seen telling former CBI Director Madeline Hightower (Aunjanue Ellis) that he still desires to kill the murderer who destroyed his family. This need puts Jane at odds with Lisbon and could fracture their partnership.
"All these years, Jane's always said, 'I'm going to kill that bastard,'" Heller said, according to TV Guide. "Lisbon's always said, 'I understand you want to do that, but I am the law.' Now that issue is not a theoretical one, it's a real one."
According to Hightower, Lisbon isn't the only law enforcement official Jane may have to tangle with. As it turns out, Homeland Security has been keeping tabs on Jane for nearly ten years.
The Mentalist "Red Listed" will air on Monday, Oct. 20 at 10:30 p.m. ET on CBS.
