"The Mentalist creator Bruno Heller has revealed new details about the upcoming fourth season. In the third season finale, Patrick Jane (Simon Baker) publicly killed a man (Bradley Whitford) who claimed to be his old nemesis Red John. &amp;quot;Within five minutes of the season-opener, Jane is in jail for homicide with no way out,&amp;quot; Heller told TV Guide. &amp;quot;And he and Lisbon (Robin Tunney), to some extent, start questioning his sanity.&amp;quot; Heller also ruled out the possibility of Jane claiming self-defence to avoid a jail sentence. &amp;quot;Not only is there no cell phone with any calls from [Red John&amp;#039;s CBI mole] O&amp;#039;Loughlin, but no gun will be found [by the police],&amp;quot; he hinted. The showrunner previously suggested that Red John&amp;#039;s apparent death does not necessarily mark the end of the character&amp;#039;s storyline. &amp;quot;If you... killed your worst enemy, would that be the end of the story?&amp;quot; he asked. &amp;quot;No, it would be the beginning of a whole different story.&amp;quot; The fourth season of The Mentalist will air on Thursdays at 10/9c in the fall on CBS. &amp;gt; Malcolm McDowell confirms Mentalist return Watch Patrick Jane confront Red John on The Mentalist below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
