00:00After bringing in the sound engineers who had sabotaged her premiere,
00:04Brittany made Grandma Jones promise that only Lily would work with her from now on.
00:08And Grandma gave Jason what she thought was a suitable punishment, house arrest.
00:13Before he left, Kevin told the Jones family,
00:16Maybe you should get someone to look into this further.
00:19The sarcasm in his voice wasn't lost on them and it showed on their faces.
00:24With Grandma Jones giving him a very dirty look,
00:27Kevin slowly walked out of the mansion.
00:29Lily trotted out of the front door right behind him and said,
00:32Kevin, wait a second.
00:34What's the matter, my love?
00:36Kevin asked with a smile.
00:38Lily blushed a little when Kevin called her that.
00:40She gathered herself and asked,
00:42Kevin, tell me honestly.
00:44Did you already know the truth before you came here?
00:47And how do you know Brittany?
00:49Why did she call you Mr. Williams?
00:51After hearing Lily's last question,
00:54Kevin raised an eyebrow.
00:56With a mischievous smile, he replied,
00:58Don't tell me you're jealous.
01:01No, I'm not.
01:03Please tell me the truth.
01:05Lily didn't know why, but she couldn't look directly into Kevin's eyes.
01:09Kevin smiled, shook his head and said gently,
01:12That's enough. I won't tease you anymore.
01:15To tell you the truth, Brittany and I went to school together.
01:18If you were classmates, then why did she call you Mr. Williams?
01:22And why did she come over and ask if you were okay with her decision?
01:26Lily surged Kevin's eyes, hoping to see the truth.
01:29I have no idea.
01:31Maybe it's because I'm so charming?
01:33Kevin answered with a shrug.
01:35However, before Lily could press the issue any further,
01:38Kevin's phone suddenly rang.
01:40Without looking at the caller ID, Kevin said right away,
01:43It must be my boss looking for me.
01:45I have to head to work. Take care of yourself.
01:48Kevin didn't give Lily a chance to ask any more questions.
01:51He just turned around and left.
01:53Kevin walked pretty far from the Jones mansion before he took out his phone again.
01:57He saw that it was Phoebe calling.
01:59Slightly confused, Kevin dialed her number.
02:02Hello, Ms. Anderson. Sorry about the delay getting back to you.
02:05Is there anything I can help with?
02:07Kevin, I really need your help. Do you have the time?
02:10Phoebe sounded anxious.
02:12I think I can pull myself away from work.
02:14Where are you? Kevin asked straightforwardly.
02:17I'm at the store. I'll be waiting for you at the door when you get here.
02:20Phoebe replied.
02:22She wanted to make sure Kevin got a better welcome than last time.
02:25After hanging up, Kevin waved down a taxi and got to Anderson Antiques in half an hour.
02:31As he paid the fare, he felt something in the pit of his stomach.
02:35What was it? He wondered.
02:37As soon as Phoebe saw Kevin, she immediately grabbed him by the arm and ushered him through the front door.
02:43As they walked toward the middle of the room,
02:46they could hear at least 10 of the local antique shop owners arguing loudly.
02:51This is definitely fake.
02:53Then another one said,
02:55I'd bet everything I own. This painting is definitely authentic.
02:59Then a third one responded,
03:01You don't know what you're talking about. Just look at the frame.
03:05There's no way this is genuine.
03:08Kevin squeezed through the crowd and saw a man watching all of this with a distraught look on his face.
03:14It was Phoebe's father, Truman Anderson.
03:17He was examining a landscape painting very attentively.
03:21Uncle Truman, you've been looking at that painting for so long now. What's your opinion?
03:27When Kevin heard the pleasant voice, he looked around and saw a familiar face, Matilda Jones.
03:33Kevin, what are you doing here? Matilda asked curiously.
03:37Before Kevin could say anything, Phoebe turned to Truman and asked,
03:41Dad, what do you think? Do you want me to ask another appraiser to take a look?
03:46Truman knew more about art history than almost anyone in Chicago.
03:50If even he couldn't identify it, how could anyone else do better?
03:54Just then, the man who was trying to sell them the painting asked nervously,
03:58Mr. Anderson, can't you see that this is an authentic landscape? We need a decision right away.
04:05Please don't be impatient, Truman replied.
04:09This certainly looks like a 17th century Dutch landscape.
04:13However, I'm not familiar with the artist, so it's difficult to come to a conclusion.
04:18The material looks authentic and I can even see the proper copper and iron pigments.
04:23He continued and then paused.
04:25My instincts tells me that this is from the Dutch Golden Age, but I don't recognize the artist.
04:31I just can't say it with certainty. Something's not right.
04:36So you're saying that my painting's a forgery, the man said angrily.
04:40I think it might be, Truman replied. He just couldn't give a definite appraisal.
04:46The other experts in the room mumbled in agreement.
04:49Mr. Anderson must know what he's talking about.
04:52While they were all discussing the painting, Kevin slowly walked up and asked,
04:56May I take a look?
04:58One of them spoke up and rudely asked Kevin,
05:00What 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.
05:07Matilda 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?
05:41Phoebe interrupted awkwardly.
05:43Dad, 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.
06:29If 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.
06:51Phoebe started to get nervous.
06:53Although she was very confident in Kevin, she wondered if he was making a mistake.
06:59After all, her father had just given his own opinion.
07:02After only half a minute, Kevin's eyes flashed and he stood up straight with an astonished look on his face.
07:09The mumbling and comments from the onlookers started up again.
07:13They were all wondering how he could have come to a decision so quickly.
07:17But Kevin didn't pay attention to them.
07:19He 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, Kevin nodded slightly.
07:32The rudest of the onlookers 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.
07:42Matilda was disappointed to see this.
07:45Truman let out another sigh and looked at his daughter glumly.
07:48So this is your expert?
07:51If there hadn't been so many people around, he would have scolded his daughter.
07:55She was actually paying this guy $150,000 a year?
08:00Sure, they could afford it, but he still didn't like to waste money.
08:04When Phoebe heard this, she felt awful.
08:07How could Kevin have come to a decision so quickly?
08:10Did he really know anything?
08:13She was starting to have her doubts.
08:15Truman looked directly at Kevin and asked him bluntly,
08:18Can you tell me why this thing is worth $200,000?
08:23Kevin knew that the painting was worth ten times that amount,
08:26but he hesitated to say it out loud.
08:29Instead, he asked Truman,
08:31Have you ever heard of someone named Vermeer?
08:34Truman was stunned by this question.
08:37He answered with a hint of indignation in his voice.
08:40Of course I have.
08:42One of the finest Dutch masters,
08:45but he only painted two landscapes in his lifetime.
08:48What you're suggesting is impossible.
08:51How could this possibly be a Vermeer?
08:54Truman asked him.
08:56The antique dealers surrounding them all had very puzzled expressions,
09:00not knowing what the two of them were talking about.
09:03Kevin explained,
09:04Look closely at the style, the artist's use of light and shadow.
09:09There's a distinctive depth to this piece,
09:12and the pigments match Vermeer's preferences, too.
09:16You can't help but feel some emotion as you look at this landscape.
09:20But he hardly ever painted landscapes.
09:23Truman responded excitedly.
09:25Kevin interrupted him and appealed to his experience.
09:28Mr. Anderson, take another look, and I'm sure you'll agree.
09:33This is a lost Vermeer landscape. I'm certain of it.
09:37Truman looked at Kevin in surprise.
09:39If this young man was right, this was an extraordinary discovery.
09:44After hesitating for a moment,
09:46he went back to the painting and took another look.
09:49This time he pulled a magnifying glass out of his suit pocket.
09:53Less than a minute later, Truman practically jumped up and down.
09:57He shouted,
09:58Mr. Landau, please arrange for this gentleman's payment.
10:02The antique dealers who had been watching this spectacle with great interest
10:06couldn't believe what they had just witnessed.
10:09But seeing Mr. Anderson's excited reaction,
10:12they felt very awkward that they had been so rude to Kevin.
10:15Matilda looked at Kevin in disbelief.
10:18She thought to herself,
10:19how could he have identified this painting so easily?
10:23Phoebe wasn't quite sure what to think.
10:25She asked her father,
10:27Dad, are you sure?
10:29Of course I'm sure.
10:31Hurry up before the seller changes his mind.
10:34He whispered hurriedly in her ear.
10:36The man seemed to be anxious to complete the sale and leave.
10:40Fine, then go ahead and pay me.
10:42I still have other things to do today,
10:44and I've already wasted a lot of time here.
10:46Kevin laughed to himself.
10:48The man had no idea what he was giving up for only $200,000.
10:53He obviously knew nothing about art,
10:55just 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.
