The Mentalist 6X5: The Red Tattoo (Patreon)
Content
The CBI team is dispatched to investigate the murder of a member of Visualize.
Jason Cooper and Ray Haffner arrive at the crime scene and Cooper tells Lisbon that Haffner is invited by the lieutenant governor to join the case—much to Lisbon's and Jane's dismay.
The case seems to lead to the killer being in two places at the same time.
Meanwhile, Cho meets a woman at the victim's gym while canvassing. The woman is caught placing a bug in Cho's desk at the CBI by Jane and is questioned. She turns out to be a private investigator (PI) hired to keep an eye on the investigation.
At the end of the case, Jane confronts Cooper about hiring the PI to bug the CBI, but Cooper denies the accusation.
Jane realizes that Red John hired the PI, meaning that the woman may be in danger.
They track her location using her own bug (which Jane planted on her as she left them) and when they arrive at her home, she is fatally wounded. Jane asks her who attacked her and, dying, she tells him that her attacker (Red John, presumably) had a tattoo of three dots on his left shoulder.
