Lisbon (Robin Tunney) enters the house and comes across someone's severed foot. She then finds Reede Smith (Drew Powell) and thinks he's Red John as she sees the three dot tattoo on his shoulder and pulls her gun on him. Bertram (Michael Gaston) runs out since he's making his getaway. Reede fires at Lisbon and she shoots him back. She then finds Patrick (Simon Baker) passed out. In the hospital, Lisbon waits for Patrick to wake and Cho (Tim Kang) also arrives. Bertram hears them talking about Smith being RJ, since DNA was found belonging to Haffner, Stiles and McAllister. Bertram finds a scalpel and tries to get Lisbon out of the room so he can kill Patrick, but he wakes up. He tells her that Bertram also has a tattoo. Patrick wants his clothes and leaves.
Rigsby (Owain Yeoman) talks about the bomb and gives the other agents a lead to look into as he and Van Pelt (Amanda Righetti) head for a doctor's office as he was once associated with Smith in an investigation, a doctor Alex Lavrov (Arthur Darbainyan). A policeman, Wiehagen (Peter Douglas) already arrives at the office and hears Smith screaming inside as the bullet is removed from him. Cordero (Joe Nieves) also arrives and tells him to tale care of Smith round the back, after exchanging their "Tyger, tyger" code. Rigsby and Van Pelt arrive and he tells Van Pelt that Cordero was the officer who looked into the Kirkland killing. He doesn't want them helping but Patrick calls Rigsby and tells him not to trust any officer. They head round back and find the policeman about to shoot Smith, he took his time. There's a shoot out and Smith and Cordero escape.
Cho interviews Wieghagen) but he's not talking. Patrick takes over since he's got a lousy poker face and asks him questions about the conspiracy and if Smith or Bertram is Red John. He gives away a lot but he doesn't know about RJ. Patrick tells Lisbon he needs to see them both face to face to work out which one is Red John.
Van Pelt can't get a lead on Smith's GPS and hates they can't trust anyone. Smith calls them and asks for help, surrendering to them. Bertram enters his safety storage facility and takes money and three passports. Cordero tells him about Smith being found by their association and Bertram orders him to take care of it this time, giving him a CBI badge. Smith takes his time getting into the boot of the car and Cho arrives taking Smith in.
He tells them about police, judges, all being involved in the conspiracy, anyone who's got a secret to hide is part of it. They covered up his drug addiction. He wants immunity but Lisbon only offers him a Federal prison cell. Patrick asks him if he killed his wife and daughter but he tells him he didn't. Also adding Kirkland knew of the conspiracy that's why he shot him.
Patrick gives a brief press conference identifying Bertram as Red John after ten years of hunting him down. A bartender (Terry James) tells Bertram he's on the news and Bertram murders him with a bottle. Should have kept quiet about it. This again was to throw us off the scent as we get to see the extent of the conspiracy and how far Bertram will go to cover it up and escape, as well as his ruthlessness. So he's in the wind. Until Rigsby finds there's an aunt's house near the bar where he killed the bartender and SWAT arrives. Patrick realizes he called them all to get away in the confusion, in a scene straight out of Supernatural season 2.12 episode Nightshifter, where they escaped dressed as SAWT officers. Can't believe Patty missed him leave and the car drive away, shouldn't he have bee standing in the street where he could see the traffic. Bertram's hungry.
At the CBI FBI special agent Dennis Abbott (Rockmond Dunbar) arrives with a writ and taking over the investigation. All agents are relieved of their duty and Patrick's couch is also removed. The FBI want to interview Patrick later and tells him the search for Red John is now theirs as a man drops his teacup on the floor. That was Patrick's fave cup and he leaves. Does that signify new beginnings for him and finally catching up with RJ. He tells Lisbon to go home and he's not pursuing it anymore, he's "leaving it behind." She doesn't believe him cos he's not really doing that. After 10 years and coming so close, he won't give it up. Suppose Patty's attic is gone too, for now!
They can't leave it like that obviously but as said it's not Bertram as he's in far deeper corruption than that and he was the one who mentioned Tyer, tyger as well. Also it's a little amazing Lisbon didn't know why Smith called it the 'Blake' organization since she knows where the words come from. Which means one of the other three suspects isn't dead. But since RJ is part of the conspiracy and we get flashbacks to Rebecca who killed three agents including Bosco and RJ got Smith to poison her, all through a phonecall, which means RJ is part of the conspiracy. This means it must be McAllister (unless partridge faked his own death) and Patty was on the right track with his list of suspects. Haffener didn't have a tat and Stiles didn't pull his sleeve all the way up but it's unlikely to be him.
Patrick is probably aware of this which is why he wants to go after him alone saying he is moving on. He needs to kill RJ once and for all and lay his ghosts to rest! Not to mention Van Pelt tells them Patrick could decipher the code they found on a flashdrive disguised as a lighter. Which will probably reveal the names of everyone on the list. As for Partridge and Patrick wondering if he had the tattoo or not since he said, "tyger, tyger," they deduce he was asking for help from Lisbon since he didn't know if she was part of their organization or not. Cho photographs Partridge's arm and finds the tattoo has been burned off. Thus showing anyone and everyone is involved, including forensic techs etc, as lower level people in the organization.
As well as Lisbon and Cho's conversation at the hospital, Cho:" They found the remains of three people. Positive IDs for Bret Stiles, Ray Haffner and Thomas McAllister."
Lisbon: "Are you sure? I would think Bret Stiles would survive a nuclear attack" and for all we know he could have done just that. OR it was a bit of foreshadowing to ensure we know one of them isn't really dead, cementing that doubt in our minds.
