Knock it over. Come on! Break it! It either works, or it doesn't. Last chance. Now you can start fresh. Dubois taught me that.
Mm.
Destruction is part of creation. Who are you?
I'm Peter Burke, FBI. Need your help.
Let's cut through the facade, Agent Burke. You're here because you want to know if the Dubois that I sold to the Tibedaux is a forgery.
facade うわべ
Any information you have on the piece would help.
Who suggested it was a fake?
One of their experts. Experts. I am the expert on Dubois.
Of course. The complaint was that somehow the lines lacked a certain subtlety found in other Dubois pieces.
subtlety 巧妙さ
Hand Over Hand may not be as inspired as some of his earlier works, but perhaps that's why he gave it to me.
He gave you a $6.5 million statue?
I gave him 10 years.
Where can I see some of Mr. Bellmiere's work?
Oh, he doesn't have any on display.
Really? Nothing?
Well, he's...been spending a lot of time in his private workspace -- off the hallway.
You seen what he's been working on?
Oh, no one has. He works alone. It's his process.
Oh. Maybe I can convince him to give me a sneak peak.
Good luck.
Thanks.
Out of curiosity, what does your work sell for?
I'm taking my time to define what makes a Bellmiere.
So, you don't have anything on the market, huh? Mm. Thank you.
Hey.
Hey.
Did you see any of Bellmiere's work?
Yeah, two partially completed sculptures.
Oh. He really is taking his time to find his own vision.
Is that what he told you?
Oh, "Some ideas come fully formed. Others take years."
Well, he's fully formed ones come from Dubois.
So, he's forging the last two catalog pieces.
The same rare marble, technique, style.
Well, we can't make a bust until he tries to sell one of them.
Bellmiere's already made millions off Hand Over Hand. He could sit on the other three for years when their value skyrockets.
Is there any way he'd want to sell them earlier?
I could encourage him. But I'm gonna need about 500 pounds of marble.
All right.
Entrez, Moz. Hey.
Good to see you, too, kid.
It's too risky for you to be here.
I can't take Mozzie's safehouse anymore.
Why?
He's a very weird dude.
Yeah.
So, what am I looking at?
Dubois' "Devolution."I'm sorry, but you got to go back.
Listen, you've been looking for that evidence box for, what, three months now? I've been after it for 30 years. Now you say you're close.
When WITSEC moved Ellen to New York 12 years ago, they gave her a job at a securities firm. She had access to the 50th floor of the Empire State Building while it was under renovation.
You think she planted it there?
Moz has been casing the place all day. We'll know soon.
So...we wait.
Yeah. We wait.
I've heard of Dubois.
Yeah, well, one of his pieces just sold for $6.5 million -- it was a forgery.
So, you're doing this for work?
Yeah, I have to pass this off as a real Dubois.
Wow.
Hey, Moz.
As fond as I am of the Japanese culture, I could go the rest of my life without hearing "Chiizu" again.
fond 好きな
Japanese for "Say cheese"?
Among other things.
Hello, Mozzie.
Is that James?
You're on speaker.
James, what happened?
He was going stir-crazy.
stir-crazy 同じ所に閉じ込められて気が変になって
At my cabin? But it's so picturesque.
There are no windows.
Insufficient motivation. However, your premature arrival is actually well-timed. Me and my photos will be there momentarily.
Insufficient 不足 premature 早まった
Neal and I visited his studio off hours -- as you suggested.
I did not suggest for you to spend 15 grand of this division's money on rare Italian marble.
That was well within my discretionary budget for developing investigations.
discretionary 一任された
I will look into the discretionary budget later. Right now, explain the marble.
We believe Bellmiere is forging the remaining two Dubois.
Okay.
But he could sit on them for years, so Neal is sculpting one of the two. Once it's authenticated --
It'll drive Bellmiere crazy because it'll be millions of dollars out of his pocket.
Right. Neal reaches out to Bellmiere, offers his skills, and we draw a confession from collusion.
collusion 共謀
It's risky.
It's efficient and high-profile.
high-profile 注目度が高い
Did Hughes authorize you to go after these types of operations?
He trusted me.
It cost him his job. I like this job. I don't want to lose it.
Reese didn't lose his job over a $15,000 expense.
No, he lost it because he approved you to go after someone you couldn't beat.
You read our file on Senator Pratt.
I did.
Is that investigation still open?
She asked you to close the case against Pratt?
No, she closed the case against Pratt.
She's got to be in his pocket.
I haven't found a link.
But if you were sexing chickens --
Callaway is ambitious and pragmatic. She knows that our investigation into Pratt forced Hughes out, so she may just be protecting her job.
pragmatic 実用主義
She's reading your logs pretty carefully.
Yeah, it's gonna be a challenge to keep the Empire State off her radar.
Especially with my father back in town.
Send him back -- immediately.
I tried. If we force him, he'll just go rogue, which will be even more problematic.
I guess that answers the age-old question of nature versus nurture.
nurture 育てる
Our authenticators are in deep discussion.
They better go for it.
Have you seen the provenance?
provenance 起源
What is Bellmiere doing here?
He wasn't supposed to show up until after the piece was authenticated. If he claims it's a fraud --
His word may supercede the experts'.
supersede とってかわる
He can't see you. He's gonna smell a setup.
Leslie.
J.B.,I didn't want to trouble you with this until we had it authenticated.
If a Dubois is coming to market, I know about it. Someone's claiming it's the second of the four remaining pieces.
The exploration of figurative techniques wasn't until he met his fifth wife.
exploration 探査 figurative 比喩的な
It's hard to tell from the catalog photos, but it certainly tracks with the timeline.
Did you check the palm?
Unfinished. Dubois left the palms untouched in his abstractions.
2004 -- he made nothing else that year.
And inside?
That's what convinced us. We ran the X-ray.
No. This is not...a Dubois. It is the Dubois. It is the height of his mastery and his seminal work.
mastery 熟達 seminal 独創性に富んだ
Who are you?
Neal Caffrey. I own this piece.
I'm very curious, Mr. Caffrey. How did you come to own "Devolution"?
I imagine much the same way as you came to own the Dubois you sold last week.
Yours is a fraud.
Are you questioning the experts? I wouldn't. That would make it much more difficult for you to sell the remaining three -- excuse me, now two Duboises.
What do you want?
There is an arrangement where we each sell one.
"Sisters" is already on display in my loft.
Everyone knows that.
But no one's seen "Courtship" yet, have they?
Come to my studio tomorrow -- 2:00.
Good instincts.
Yep. Trust the chicken sexers.
