Spoiler Alert - Season Finale with details from Simon
Super-sleuth Patrick Jane is set to finally get his revenge on serial killer, Red John, when The Mentalist's second season draws to a close. The man behind Jane, Australian actor Simon Baker, has revealed his alter ego comes face-to-face with Red John in the season finale!
"I dare say the season finale will feature Red John,"
Simon tells TV WEEK exclusively
. "It's definitely due."
Series creator Bruno Heller backed up Simon's Red John revelation.
"We will meet him in the last episode - but we can't say more than that,"
he said.
"It's just renewing the initial premise of the show, which can get loser over time; the reason Patrick Jane does what he does is because of Red John, so all the good he does comes from a bad place.
" Romance is also on the cards for widower Jane, with two new female characters join The Mentalist cast, California Bureau Of Investigation And Intelligence boss Madeleine Hightower (Aunjanue Ellis) and psychic Kristina Frye (Leslie Hope)
. "When we were shooting the pilot, Bruno asked me if I thought Jane would ever be with women again, and I said, 'I don't think he's a womaniser but he's absolutely a flirtatious character,' "
says the 40-year-old. "So, after two years, I think we have to play out this whole thing. It would be interesting to see this guy as a man now. I've suggested that maybe he tries to get back on the horse, or back into the saddle, so to speak, and try to break past being this kind of spinster."
