RJRed John

Well, Patrick, here we are.

[he nudges the body on the floor]

RJRed John

Poor fella. Smart, but dumb. It never occurred to him that I am the Blake association.

Why'd you have to kill him?

RJRed John

Everyone thinks he's Red John, don't they? So... it would seem a fitting end to the story if you two were found dead together. No one will look any deeper.

So I'm supposed to die, am I? After all these years? Seems kind of unfair.

RJRed John

[in his high-pitched 'Red John' voice] It's totally fair. The game's over, and I won.

It's not a game.

RJRed John

There's a winner and a loser. That's a game.

It's not a game I asked to play.

RJRed John

No, but you played it very well nonetheless. You were fun, challenging. Thank you.

RJRed John

You probably have a lot of questions for me, huh? We have time, if you want.

I have no questions. You're an evil, sexually perverted sociopath with pathetic delusions of grandeur. The rest is just details.

RJRed John

Evil, sexually perverted sociopath? Well, I guess I have to own that, but, uh... delusions of grandeur? No. I have no delusions. I built a secret empire. I control the lives of thousands of people. My word is life and death, and nobody knows who I am. Now if that's not grandeur, I don't know what you call it.

I'd call it the ravings of a squalid egomaniac.

RJRed John

You see? For no reason at all, you... you're rude and contemptuous. That's why your wife and kid are dead. Who are you to butt in here and make obnoxious judgments about me? Who are you? Hmm? Who are you? Nobody. Nobody. You didn't know me. You don't know me. You have no idea. Here's your problem, Pat. You're a smart man, but you are arrogant. You can't imagine someone smarter than you. Which is why I've been ahead of you at every step along the way.

You're holding the gun. You want to brag? Go ahead. I'm not gonna stop you.

RJRed John

You still don't know how I fooled you, do you? How did I survive that bomb? How did I know all the names on your list?

Is this what you've been missing? Appreciation?

RJRed John

Please don't kill me. Let me live.

[Jane dials 911 on his cell phone]

RJRed John

Please... let me live. I'll tell you how I got the names on your list. I don't care. I-I knew because I have real psychic—

Shh.

[Jane wraps his hands around Red John's throat]

I want you to blink once for "no" and twice for "yes."

[he nods]

Are you sorry that you killed my wife Angela and my daughter Charlotte?

[Red John blinks twice]

Good. Good. Are you afraid to die?

[gurgling, Red John blinks twice]

Good.
