It turns out Lance and Agnes only ever wanted money, and the heist netted them $30 million, minus $100. The CSA eventually recover the painting when the museum directors pay a ransom. The next day, Lance bought the supposed reproduction, snagging the $150 million Vermeer for a cool $100. Miller slipped back to his security post undetected. Miller stole the painting, leaving the post-it because he’s a fucking dick, and then rushed it to the gift shop, where Joe displayed it alongside another reproduction. Lance placed the key on Joanne’s tray, and she used it to access the maintenance room, turning up the thermostat to disable the heat sensor cameras. Miller stole the maintenance key and slipped it to Lance during the opening. They enlisted Miller, gift shop Joe, and caterer Joanne to aid in their crime. Spoilers: Lance Saxon and his sister, Agnes Dart, masterminded the art theft, something they had done before. Moses, Jessy Schram, Zack Shada, Elaine Hendrix, Philip Casnoff, Andy Lauer, Hedy Burress, Julianna McCarthy, Jeremy Howard, Mark Rolston, Alan Oppenheimer, Natalija Nogulich, John Fleck, Lana Antonova, Jean-Michel Richaud, Elle Peterson It’s a fitting, hopeful ending for the series.Ĭast: Lea Thompson, Joe Penny, Wiliam R. Cathy and Hildy share one scene that aches with heartbreak and disappointment, an exchange buoyed moments later by unexpected joy. The last few minutes of this film are powerful and especially well acted by Thompson and McCarthy. It is Hildy’s story though that brings everything into focus. The final picture we have is of two partners who know and trust each other intimately, who are at their best when they are together. The bond between Cathy and Frank, occasionally competitive but always respectful, also matures to a point beyond that of mere colleagues. Frank finds a real connection with Agnes, and even when the case starts to pull them apart, the intensity of their affection remains.

I’ve always enjoyed this series because it diverges from the usual amateur sleuth narrative this time, however, clever plotting gives way to deeper feelings of love – romantic, platonic, familial. The mystery delivers requisite if sometimes predictable thrills, but what impressed me most was the emotional depth of the story and characters. In doing so, they expose plots and betrayals that lead back to an original sin of sorts, a tragedy that resonates through the decades. In fact, Cathy and Frank recover the Vermeer halfway through the film, leaving the rest of time for them to sort through the fallout. It upends the formula on several occasions, and what seems to be a straightforward heist turns out to be much more. The case is one of the more original mysteries to appear on Hallmark. Cathy and Frank dismiss the idea off-hand, but it’s not the last time they encounter the unexpected. With a talent for resolving art thefts that even federal agents can’t untangle, Agnes boldly suggests that Hildy Bloome (Julianna McCarthy), lone survivor of the Bloome family, is the likeliest culprit.

Before they get a full picture though, insurance investigator Agnes Dart (Elaine Hendrix) catwalks onto the scene.

Stealing art and leaving odes to Hitler are on the mark for an unrepentant neo-Nazi like Miller, but Cathy and Frank sense something else at play considering the $150 million price tag paid out by Andreas Vanderwiel (Natalija Nogulich), director of the National Gallery in Amsterdam. The Central Security Agency zeroes in on security guard Paul Miller (Mark Rolston), who may have acted as an inside man. A clue left at the site points to neo-Nazi involvement, making a miserable situation even worse. and then onto the permanent collection of an Amsterdam museum, but it goes missing the night before the exhibit’s opening. The painting was set to go on display in L.A. Freelance puzzle developer Cathy Davis (Lea Thompson) may have stepped away from the world of secret agents, but she still thrives on a challenge and gets one when Frank Darnell (Joe Penny) calls about the theft of a recovered Vermeer, stolen from the Bloome family by the Nazis during their occupation of the Netherlands.
