Trivia
When Patrick Jane comes to Shirali Arlov's house to talk about the painting, he is instructed by the guard to use the intercom to state his presence. In an up-close shot of the intercom, numbers "31416" are seen on the display, as some form of a status code. Given numbers are a clear reference to the mathematical constant PI, rounded up to 4 decimals (PI = 3.1415926535...).

Goofs
When Jane and Van Pelt talk to Rob Wallace, Rob refers to Patrick by his name, 'Patrick', but the name hadn't been shared yet so he had no way of knowing it.

The Stolen Painting

When the son-in-law of the wealthy executive A. P. Caid is found murdered in his office, Lisbon, Patrick, and the CBI team assume the case. They learn that the victim was married to A. P. Caid's daughter, Stevie Caid that also worked in the company. Further, a 50-million-dollar painting recently bought in an auction by the dealer Kathryn Hawkes for Caid is missing from the wall. The CBI suspect the the Russian Mobster Shirali Arlov, who has diplomatic immunity, if now the owner of the painting. Patrick sets in motion a plan to retrieve the painting and find the killer.

"Paint in Red" is one of the best episodes of "The Mentalist". The plot is funny and full of action and twists. The entertaining conclusion with the cynical Patrick solving the case is hilarious. My vote is nine.
