00:00After bringing in the sound engineers who had sabotaged her premiere,
00:05Brittany made Grandma Jones promise that only Lily would work with her from now on.
00:09And Grandma gave Jason what she thought was a suitable punishment, house arrest.
00:14Before he left, Kevin told the Jones family,
00:17Maybe you should get someone to look into this further.
00:20The sarcasm in his voice wasn't lost on them and it showed on their faces.
00:25With Grandma Jones giving him a very dirty look, Kevin slowly walked out of the mansion.
00:30Lily trotted out of the front door right behind him and said,
00:33Kevin, wait a second.
00:35What's the matter, my love? Kevin asked with a smile.
00:38Lily blushed a little when Kevin called her that.
00:41She gathered herself and asked,
00:43Kevin, tell me honestly.
00:45Did you already know the truth before you came here?
00:48And how do you know Brittany?
00:50Why did she call you Mr. Williams?
00:53After hearing Lily's last question, Kevin raised an eyebrow.
00:57With a mischievous smile, he replied,
00:59Don't tell me you're jealous.
01:02No, I'm not.
01:04Please tell me the truth.
01:06Lily didn't know why, but she couldn't look directly into Kevin's eyes.
01:10Kevin smiled, shook his head and said gently,
01:13That's enough. I won't tease you anymore.
01:16To tell you the truth, Brittany and I went to school together.
01:19If you were classmates, then why did she call you Mr. Williams?
01:23And why did she come over and ask if you were okay with her decision?
01:27Lily searched Kevin's eyes, hoping to see the truth.
01:30I have no idea.
01:32Maybe it's because I'm so charming, Kevin answered with a shrug.
01:36However, before Lily could press the issue any further, Kevin's phone suddenly rang.
01:41Without looking at the caller ID, Kevin said right away,
01:44It must be my boss looking for me.
01:46I have to head to work. Take care of yourself.
01:48Kevin didn't give Lily a chance to ask any more questions.
01:52He just turned around and left.
01:54Kevin walked pretty far from the Jones mansion before he took out his phone again.
01:58He saw that it was Phoebe calling.
02:00Slightly confused, Kevin dialed her number.
02:03Hello, Miss Anderson. Sorry about the delay getting back to you.
02:06Is there anything I can help with?
02:08Kevin, I really need your help. Do you have the time?
02:11Phoebe sounded anxious.
02:13I think I can pull myself away from work. Where are you?
02:16Kevin asked straightforwardly.
02:18I'm at the store. I'll be waiting for you at the door when you get here.
02:22Phoebe replied.
02:23She wanted to make sure Kevin got a better welcome than last time.
02:27After hanging up, Kevin waved down a taxi and got to Anderson Antiques in half an hour.
02:33As he paid the fare, he felt something in the pit of his stomach.
02:37What was it? He wondered.
02:39As soon as Phoebe saw Kevin, she immediately grabbed him by the arm and ushered him through the front door.
02:45As they walked toward the middle of the room, they could hear at least 10 of the local antique shop owners arguing loudly.
02:52This is definitely fake!
02:54Then another one said,
02:56I'd bet everything I own. This painting is definitely authentic!
03:00Then a third one responded,
03:02You don't know what you're talking about. Just look at the frame. There's no way this is genuine.
03:09Kevin squeezed through the crowd and saw a man watching all of this with a distraught look on his face.
03:15It was Phoebe's father, Truman Anderson.
03:18He was examining a landscape painting very attentively.
03:22Uncle Truman, you've been looking at that painting for so long now. What's your opinion?
03:28When Kevin heard the pleasant voice, he looked around and saw a familiar face, Matilda Jones.
03:34Kevin, what are you doing here? Matilda asked curiously.
03:38Before Kevin could say anything, Phoebe turned to Truman and asked,
03:42Dad, what do you think? Do you want me to ask another appraiser to take a look?
03:47Truman knew more about art history than almost anyone in Chicago.
03:51If even he couldn't identify it, how could anyone else do better?
03:55Just then, the man who was trying to sell them the painting asked nervously,
03:59Mr. Anderson, can't you see that this is an authentic landscape? We need a decision right away.
04:06Please don't be impatient, Truman replied.
04:10This certainly looks like a 17th century Dutch landscape.
04:14However, I'm not familiar with the artist, so it's difficult to come to a conclusion.
04:19The material looks authentic and I can even see the proper copper and iron pigments.
04:24He continued and then paused.
04:26My instincts tells me that this is from the Dutch Golden Age, but I don't recognize the artist.
04:32I just can't say it with certainty. Something's not right.
04:37So you're saying that my painting's a forgery, the man said angrily.
04:41I think it might be, Truman replied. He just couldn't give a definite appraisal.
04:47The other experts in the room mumbled in agreement.
04:50Mr. Anderson must know what he's talking about.
04:53While they were all discussing the painting, Kevin slowly walked up and asked,
04:57May I take a look?
04:58One of them spoke up and rudely asked Kevin,
05:01What are you doing? Do you think you know more than one of Chicago's leading experts?
05:05You're just going to make a fool of yourself.
05:08Matilda heard all these men scoffing at Kevin and looked over to see his reaction.
05:12She didn't know him well, but what she did know was that at Grandma Jones's birthday party,
05:17he had been able to appraise an 18th century brooch at a glance.
05:21He had definitely made an impression on her.
05:24But this was different. Even Mr. Anderson thought that the painting was probably a fake.
05:29If Kevin made a fool of himself, she might open herself up to ridicule too, especially by her family.
05:35Truman looked at Kevin in surprise and then asked,
05:38Aren't you Dorothy Jones's son-in-law?
05:42Phoebe interrupted awkwardly.
05:44Dad, this is the antique appraiser that I brought in as a consultant.
05:48When the onlookers heard this, they all started laughing.
05:51Ms. Anderson actually hired this moron as a consultant?
05:55One of them jeered.
05:57Truman looked at his daughter and let out a slow sigh.
06:00He'd never seen Kevin before, but he had heard a lot of rumors about him.
06:04It was the usual gossip that Jason had been spreading around amongst the members of the Jones family.
06:10According to them, Kevin was useless, and they all hoped that he and Lily would get a divorce as soon as possible.
06:16But he trusted his daughter.
06:18After all, she had been doing a fantastic job with the store.
06:22If she had thought that he had something to contribute, Truman was willing to listen.
06:27Please be careful. If it turns out to be a forgery, we don't want to owe this man anything for damages, Truman said.
06:35Don't worry, sir, Kevin replied as he started to study the painting.
06:40The atmosphere in the room changed.
06:42Everyone watched patiently to see if Kevin would make a fool of himself.
06:46Some of them were wondering if Phoebe was still too young to be in such a prominent position in the company.
06:52Phoebe started to get nervous.
06:54Although she was very confident in Kevin, she wondered if he was making a mistake.
07:00After all, her father had just given his own opinion.
07:03After only half a minute, Kevin's eyes flashed and he stood up straight with an astonished look on his face.
07:10The mumbling and comments from the onlookers started up again.
07:14They were all wondering how he could have come to a decision so quickly.
07:17But Kevin didn't pay attention to them.
07:20He turned around and looked at Phoebe and asked,
07:22How much does he want for it?
07:24Before she had a chance to reply, the man said hurriedly,
07:27200,000.
07:29That sounds about right.
07:31Kevin nodded slightly.
07:33The rudest of the onlooker said loudly,
07:35Who does he think he is?
07:37It's not worth 50 bucks.
07:39Mr. Anderson already said it was a fake.
07:43Matilda was disappointed to see this.
07:45Truman let out another sigh and looked at his daughter glumly.
07:49So this is your expert?
07:52If there hadn't been so many people around, he would have scolded his daughter.
07:56She was actually paying this guy $150,000 a year?
08:01Sure, they could afford it, but he still didn't like to waste money.
08:05When Phoebe heard this, she felt awful.
08:08How could Kevin have come to a decision so quickly?
08:11Did he really know anything?
08:13She was starting to have her doubts.
08:16Truman looked directly at Kevin and asked him bluntly,
08:19Can you tell me why this thing is worth $200,000?
08:24Kevin knew that the painting was worth 10 times that amount,
08:27but he hesitated to say it out loud.
08:30Instead, he asked Truman,
08:32Have you ever heard of someone named Vermeer?
08:35Truman was stunned by this question.
08:38He answered with a hint of indignation in his voice.
08:41Of course I have. One of the finest Dutch masters.
08:46But he only painted two landscapes in his lifetime.
08:49What you're suggesting is impossible.
08:52How could this possibly be a Vermeer? Truman asked him.
08:57The antique dealers surrounding them all had very puzzled expressions,
09:01not knowing what the two of them were talking about.
09:04Kevin explained,
09:05Look closely at the style.
09:07The artist's use of light and shadow.
09:10There's a distinctive depth to this piece.
09:13And the pigments match Vermeer's preferences too.
09:17You can't help but feel some emotion as you look at this landscape.
09:21But he hardly ever painted landscapes.
09:24Truman responded excitedly.
09:26Kevin interrupted him and appealed to his experience.
09:29Mr. Anderson, take another look and I'm sure you'll agree.
09:34This is a lost Vermeer landscape. I'm certain of it.
09:38Truman looked at Kevin in surprise.
09:41If this young man was right, this was an extraordinary discovery.
09:45After hesitating for a moment, he went back to the painting and took another look.
09:50This time he pulled a magnifying glass out of his suit pocket.
09:54Less than a minute later, Truman practically jumped up and down.
09:58He shouted, Mr. Landau, please arrange for this gentleman's payment.
10:03The antique dealers who had been watching this spectacle with great interest
10:07couldn't believe what they had just witnessed.
10:10But seeing Mr. Anderson's excited reaction,
10:13they felt very awkward that they had been so rude to Kevin.
10:16Matilda looked at Kevin in disbelief.
10:18She thought to herself,
10:20How could he have identified this painting so easily?
10:24Phoebe wasn't quite sure what to think.
10:26She asked her father,
10:28Dad, are you sure?
10:30Of course I'm sure.
10:32Hurry up before the seller changes his mind,
10:35he whispered hurriedly in her ear.
10:37The man seemed to be anxious to complete the sale and leave.
10:41Fine, then go ahead and pay me.
10:43I still have other things to do today and I've already wasted a lot of time here.
10:47Kevin laughed to himself.
10:49The man had no idea what he was giving up for only $200,000.
10:54He obviously knew nothing about art,
10:56just some guy making a quick buck.
10:58So how did someone like that get hold of such a valuable piece of art?
11:02Kevin really wanted to know.
