Carson and I fought like
hell over it in the split.

But since it accounts

questioned its authenticity.

- They think "The
Orchard" is a forgery.

completed in late
1883 must contain

some residual volcanic ash.

Krakatoa erupted August 1883.

A cloud of volcanic
ash went from Indonesia

And the appraisers didn't find
volcanic ash in "The Orchard"?

And they won't stop until
they get one of her Cézannes

in their hands.

- How do we stop them?

- If they're willing to
murder and rob for her works,

then presumably, they
will come to an auction

to bid on it.

Under the pretense of
a larger divorce sale,

we offer Blair's
"Orchard" up for auction.

We even list it as a forgery.

And we use Bridget's
name as the real artist.

Spies have the best toys.

Testing. Testing.

Do you read?
- Loud and clear, Professor.

- [whispering] I
feel like James Bond.

- Play it cool.

- Next up, ladies and gentlemen,

we have "The Orchard," a
convincing Cézanne forgery

from the late Bridget Archibald.

Let's start the
bidding at $50,000.

Do I have $50,000?
Looking for 55.

- You think he's here to
support his daughter or...

- He's not bidding. I
don't think he's our guy.

- She seems rather interested.

- She does.

Let's see if she
goes all the way

or be flushed out
by Phoebe's bids.

- 76. Looking for $76,000.

76. $76,000.

- $76,000 and counting.
- $77,000, looking for 77.

- Maybe I should have
gone into forgery.

- $78,000, looking
for 79. $79,000.

Looking for $80,000. $80,000.

Looking for $100,000.
$100,000, ladies and gentlemen.

Can I get a 110? 110, 110.

I've got a $110,000 bid.
Looking for 120, $120,000.

Looking for 130.

Anybody 130? I've
got $130,000.

- That's our culprit.

Phoebe, Phoebe, stop bidding.

- Looking for $150,000.
Looking for 150.

$150,000.

Do I hear 175? $175,000.

Anybody for 175?

No, I've got 150 going once,

going twice, going three times.

Sold to the gentleman in
the back for $150,000.
