4.07 'Blinking Red Light' filming at 590 S Santa Fe Ave, a warehouse near the Sixth Street Bridge, downtown Los Angeles today (Friday)

 

 

The Mentalist's third season literally ended with a bang when Patrick Jane (Simon Baker) gunned down a man he believed to be Red John (Bradley Whitford), the serial killer who killed Jane's wife and child.

But did he really kill Red John? "There's a lot of questions to be answered," creator Bruno Heller tells TVGuide.com of the Season 4 premiere (Thursday, 10/9c, CBS). "If that was Red John, then Red John was still one jump ahead of him because he was able to frame him for killing an innocent man."

Indeed, Jane pleads that Red John was holding him at gunpoint and received a call from his mole, the now-deceased FBI Agent O'Loughlin (Eric Winter), just moments before the fatal shooting. Unfortunately for Jane, no record of the call exists and the gun was nowhere to be found at the crime scene. So the next stop for Jane is prison, which Heller says Jane actually finds...enjoyable. "He's actually quite comfortable in that world. He likes the solitude," Heller says."He had been kind of taking the prison stay as a kind of spa-relaxation time out. There's time for him to think, and when he realizes that the case is more complicated than Lisbon [Robin Tunney ... Read more »

 

 

 

A female FBI agent is going to make waves on The Mentalist this season.

TVGuide.com has learned that The Shield star Catherine Dent will appear in multiple Season 4 episodes as Special Agent Susan Darcy, a seasoned and assertive FBI agent who often downplays her intelligence to get what she wants without causing friction. Even so, she's sure to rub a few people the wrong way: As we previously reported, her character will but heads with Patrick Jane (Simon Baker) and Agent Lisbon (Robin Tunney) when she takes over one of their cases.

"She suspects there's more to the Red John story than Jane or the CBI is telling her," creator and executive producer Bruno Heller tells TVGuide.com. "Over the course of the season, she will try to get under Jane's skin and inside his head to find the truth. Jane's not the only one who knows how to use deception and mind games to crack a mystery."

Dent, who's also held recent recurring roles on NCIS and A&E's Breakout Kings, will first appear in the fourth season's seventh episode, ... Read more »

ADAM: Keep dreaming! Although executive producer Bruno Heller says Rigsby will support his former flame through the aftermath of shooting her own boyfriend, another woman will keep any flames between the two from rekindling. "A genuine romance is going on in Rigsby's life, so it's all the harder for him to show sympathy to her as a colleague, but not as a lover," Heller says. "It's hard for them to step closer without going back to the old scenario, and I don't think either of them want to go there."

4.07 'Blinking Red Light' filming under and around the Sixth Street Bridge downtown Los Angeles Friday thru Monday.
