Everyone loves the nostalgia of old Chinatown, but for me... 557 00:30:38,540 --> 00:30:41,260 Her work's a reminder of the worst time of my life. You mean I'm proud of her 558 00:30:41,260 --> 00:30:44,260 success? You mean how she died with nothing and now all these rich jerks are 559 00:30:44,260 --> 00:30:45,460 making a huge profit off of it? 560 00:30:45,700 --> 00:30:46,920 You don't get a piece of that? 561 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:48,160 No, none of the artists do. 562 00:30:48,900 --> 00:30:50,940 She probably sold it for 50 bucks. 563 00:30:51,500 --> 00:30:52,500 Now she's famous. 564 00:30:52,820 --> 00:30:55,480 And all these collectors just trade it back and forth for millions. 565 00:30:56,420 --> 00:30:57,420 I never see a dime. 566 00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:58,880 It's a bitter pill to swallow. 567 00:30:59,460 --> 00:31:01,000 Yeah, I used to get so mad about it. 568 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,060 But now I'm channeling it to my art. 569 00:31:04,500 --> 00:31:05,500 Earl taught me that. 570 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:07,480 I was such a mess after my mom passed away. 571 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:10,200 He threw me a lifeline. 572 00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:11,640 Hey, Kai, sorry. 573 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:13,040 Someone will want you to meet. 574 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:15,120 That's it?

Turns out that Kai is Esther Ng's son, and he's got a real 583 00:32:00,210 --> 00:32:01,210 chip on his shoulder. 584 00:32:01,670 --> 00:32:02,670 Really? 585 00:32:03,690 --> 00:32:06,610 Wait a minute.

Back to bid her $26,000 in the front. 596 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,980 Sophia's supposedly the leading expert on history. Well, she's either terrible 597 00:32:38,980 --> 00:32:41,040 at her job or she's in on the scam. 598 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:47,260 65,000 to the lady in red.

Oh. 608 00:33:16,570 --> 00:33:20,750 Did any of these paintings come from his collection? None of these buildings face 609 00:33:20,750 --> 00:33:21,750 south either. 610 00:33:21,770 --> 00:33:22,770 I don't know. 611 00:33:22,850 --> 00:33:26,430 But out of abundance of caution, I will pull the painting and do further 612 00:33:26,430 --> 00:33:29,390 research. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. 613 00:33:32,550 --> 00:33:34,330 Well, we just cost her a million bucks. 614 00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:40,360 Fiona responded to my dim sum text. 615 00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:42,340 Sounds good. Oh, it is on. 616 00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:44,179 Don't worry. 617 00:33:44,180 --> 00:33:48,500 I'll mom talk and fire talk. I won't cheat and case talk. Don't worry. 618 00:33:48,740 --> 00:33:50,940 Two of your tangents in, she'll be showing you the door. 619 00:33:51,500 --> 00:33:55,100 Please. My tangents are what keeps this going. No, baby, that's my patient. 620 00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:56,800 So what do you think? 621 00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,060 Sophia duped by the forger or is she in on it? 622 00:33:59,260 --> 00:34:01,940 Either way, there's another player. Sophia's an appraiser, not a forger. 623 00:34:02,260 --> 00:34:05,480 So who's painting the fakes? Whoever this Carl Liu is, maybe he can tell us. 624 00:34:09,639 --> 00:34:10,780 Thank you, So Ping. 625 00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:12,000 I'll keep you updated. 626 00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:14,219 Did you say that Carl Lee was our forger? 627 00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:16,460 Not unless he paints from beyond the grave. 628 00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:17,839 Carl's dead? 629 00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:21,080 Yeah, a few years now, but that is not the biggest surprise in this case. 630 00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:25,300 Apparently, he left everything to his estranged son, who he fathered with 631 00:34:25,300 --> 00:34:26,300 Esther Ng. 632 00:34:26,380 --> 00:34:27,460 Kai is his son? 633 00:34:28,780 --> 00:34:32,460 Kai is our forger. He fakes a few paintings. He pretends they came from 634 00:34:32,460 --> 00:34:33,438 his dad's collection. 635 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,560 And finally profits off his mom's arm. 636 00:34:36,010 --> 00:34:38,750 He's got a real chip on his shoulder. It makes sense he'd try to rip off the art 637 00:34:38,750 --> 00:34:41,730 world. Yeah, but why forge paintings just to end up burning them? 638 00:34:42,050 --> 00:34:43,110 To cover his tracks? 639 00:34:43,929 --> 00:34:45,989 I mean, maybe he didn't know about the south-facing detail. 640 00:34:46,250 --> 00:34:49,969 And with Gerhard's exhibit going to Ottawa, an outside appraiser would have 641 00:34:49,969 --> 00:34:50,928 looked at the paintings. 642 00:34:50,929 --> 00:34:52,090 And exposed Kai's fakes. 643 00:34:55,420 --> 00:34:59,020 You used spray paint to black out the security cameras at the gallery and the 644 00:34:59,020 --> 00:35:02,260 Beckmesians' house, and you also set fire to all of the forgeries you made. I 645 00:35:02,260 --> 00:35:03,680 have never forged anything. 646 00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:07,220 I've never set a fire. My dad left me one painting that I sold years ago when 647 00:35:07,220 --> 00:35:08,220 I needed rent. That's it. 648 00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:10,180 What about the other three? 649 00:35:10,380 --> 00:35:11,078 I don't know. 650 00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:14,200 I gave mine to Sophia like Earl suggested, and she sold it. Wait. 651 00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:16,200 Earl connected you to Sophia? 652 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:17,500 He said she'd get the best price. 653 00:35:17,740 --> 00:35:18,740 Earl. 654 00:35:18,940 --> 00:35:22,000 His work didn't sell for what it used to, but Ing's paintings are worth a 655 00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,880 fortune. He knows all about her techniques, her paints, her canvas, but 656 00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,540 he doesn't know the one secret she entrusted to her oldest friend. 657 00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:32,300 Okay, hey, look, listen. You guys got Earl all wrong. He would never do this 658 00:35:32,300 --> 00:35:33,300 to my family. 659 00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:36,760 Lead paint. Stop it. Stop touching his stuff. 660 00:35:37,300 --> 00:35:39,340 Acetone. The accelerant used in the fires. 661 00:35:39,620 --> 00:35:42,580 He said you were here with him the night of the fire till 6 a.m. Were you? 662 00:35:42,780 --> 00:35:43,780 I was at home. 663 00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:45,480 Asleep. 664 00:35:45,810 --> 00:35:49,070 He wasn't covering for Kai. He was using him as his alibi. Where's Earl now? 665 00:35:49,450 --> 00:35:51,910 After the auction, he said he had something come up he had to take care 666 00:35:51,910 --> 00:35:54,730 of. The last forgery. Sophia took it. He needs to get rid of it. I gotta get 667 00:35:54,730 --> 00:35:55,730 Sophia's. 668 00:35:58,180 --> 00:36:01,820 So, Kai inherits an authentic painting from his dad, makes a quick buck. 669 00:36:02,100 --> 00:36:05,460 Earl sees this, forges three more paintings, gets his pal Sophia to 670 00:36:05,460 --> 00:36:08,160 authenticate them all. Earl rakes in some serious cash. 671 00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:09,339 Sophia, too. 672 00:36:09,340 --> 00:36:12,120 I mean, if we've learned anything about the art world, it's that everyone's out 673 00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,080 for a quick buck. I bet she was cut in on it, too. 674 00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:18,020 Yeah, that tracks. A leading expert on Esther Ng. Even if Earl's forgeries were 675 00:36:18,020 --> 00:36:20,000 great, they wouldn't be perfect. Just like her accent. 676 00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:23,300 Fake. Now, this case is making me Jones for that famous art movie. 677 00:36:23,660 --> 00:36:26,680 You know, the one with the guy from Mrs. Doubtfire and that woman with the red 678 00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:27,680 hair? 679 00:36:28,140 --> 00:36:32,740 I think the paint fumes got to you. The Thomas Crown Affair. You think of Piers 680 00:36:32,740 --> 00:36:34,620 Brosnan as the man from Mrs. Doubtfire? 681 00:36:35,060 --> 00:36:36,060 Angie, look. 682 00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:50,120 Shane! 683 00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:53,000 We gotta get her out of there. 684 00:37:01,410 --> 00:37:02,970 Sophia? Sophia, can you hear me? 685 00:37:03,410 --> 00:37:04,410 Sophia? 686 00:37:04,550 --> 00:37:05,550 She's responsive. 687 00:37:07,610 --> 00:37:10,010 I can't wait to tell Fi about this. 688 00:37:14,690 --> 00:37:15,690 Turtle, 689 00:37:21,990 --> 00:37:23,810 we gotta go after him. We can't leave Sophia by herself. 690 00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:33,080 Did we lose him? 691 00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:34,340 No, I can't see him. 692 00:37:34,980 --> 00:37:35,980 No, he's up there. 693 00:37:38,240 --> 00:37:39,238 Where am I? 694 00:37:39,240 --> 00:37:39,919 Where's O? 695 00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:41,060 You mean your partner in crime? 696 00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:43,960 You mean the guy who just tried to kill you, who's trying to get away from us in 697 00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:45,120 his truck?
