In the pilot episode, Wagner kills the the two of them and then makes it appear as it was the work of Red John (altough Wagner is a copycat of RJ), thing that is noted by Jane (ex.: the smiley on the victim's wall, the fact that is was not in the centre of attention), so Jane doesn't fall into this trap ( of thinking the author of the murders is the real RJ).
Fast forward, Jane and Wagner in Wagner's office, Wagner says to him : (got this from the online script) WAGNER: You're angry about the letter, Yeah, it was a bit mean-spirited. For the record, I'm sorry about your family. I can only imagine your pain. I'm not a wicked man. My conscience is clear.
The bolded italics text is important, just that.
Wagner knew the modus operandi of RJ(because he made the crime scene look like it was the hand of RJ so...), did he knew in detail the victims of RJ? Could he have known that Jane's family was also killed by RJ? so he said : sorry for your family like for compassion or ... I mean , he was probably going to kill Jane, so again, why trying to cover his identity as RJ?
Again , the question are : 1.Why did Wagner say sorry about ur family to Jane, since Wagner didn't have anything to do with Jane's family ? 2. How did Wagner know what happened to Jane's family? (by reading about RJ's cases or ? )
Any ideas ?
