"Art is either plagiarism or revolution.
It has to be one of the two.
Paul Gauguin."
(Job Hunting, Kanto version)
Thank you for waiting.
Yes?
Do you like the painting?
No, I don't know anything about them.
I just think the painting is cute.
If you don't mind...
(Suto Yuki's first show, Song of the Beginning)
Did you paint them?
So you're actually a painter.
I don't consider myself a painter yet.
I decided to do an exhibition from my friends' suggestion.
I'm working hard right now to gather enough works.
It's good to have a dream.
I will go.
I'll be waiting.
(Suto Yuki's exhibition is cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances.)
Yuki.
It's me.
Are you okay?
I've caught a cold.
I heard from your boss.
I did something dumb.
If you want,
you can talk to me.
Richard, I need your help.
Don't tell Dako.
She'll make things a whole lot worse.
It's just you and me.
This egg is delicious!
Fresh produce tastes marvelous indeed.
Thank you.
So, I heard you guys found a big catch.
Don't be like that, Boku.
The target is a VIP. We'll need Dako's help.
You'll need me.
Come on, tell me all about it.
Art has to be one of the two.
Is it fake or real?
(Art critic, Jougazaki Zenzo)
Now, let's see if we can distinguish between the two.
(We'll Inspect Your Treasures)
Let's invite our next guest.
(Chagall)
It's a painting from Chagall.
I bought this for 1.3 million yen at an art gallery...
in Paris 25 years ago.
(Inspecting)
(Is this piece real or fake?)
The economic bubble.
There were quite a few foolish Japanese...
who fell for imitation works sold by dodgy art dealers overseas.
You're one of them.
What? Is this a fake?
It's worse than a fake.
The tools, strokes and skills are all very crude.
What a disgrace to Chagall.
I won't pity you.
Because you could only judge its worth...
based on a name and price, you ended up with a piece of trash.
Self-cultivation is being able to discern the real from fake.
Impressive.
He even has his own television show.
Jougazaki Zenzo.
He's an art critic proficient in all kinds of art forms across the eras.
He's an authority in the art world.
No, he's just a rotten person.
Yuki met this man half a year ago.
He was a visiting speaker at the art college.
This painting needs to go.
It's better not to waste the canvases.
Next.
This one is too childish.
A motif you can see everywhere, a style that is so ordinary.
But,
I can see a future in this.
Is it yours?
If you have other works,
bring them to me later.
Yes.
She was greatly encouraged and started painting more.
She frequented Jougazaki's gallery.
You have improved.
And then...
You still need a lot of training to improve yourself.
I'm going to guide you. Don't worry.
So he ate her up.
- That's what happened, right? - Don't say it like that.
A sinister and cold person saying such sweet words...
is the worst thing ever.
For the art students, Jougazaki is basically God.
It's normal to let their guards down.
So I suppose all the female students at the art college...
are fruits for his picking.
I'm so jealous.
Dako's love is all-encompassing.
After three months of dating,
Jougazaki told her...
An exhibition?
Why should I go to your exhibition?
That's true. You must be busy.
I'd appreciate it if you wrote me a comment.
A comment?
Even one line is fine.
If people knew I'm learning under your guidance,
- I'm sure more... - If I recommended such artwork,
my reputation would suffer.
But you said I had potential.
That is the truth.
A young, well-endowed and innocent-looking painter...
can become famous.
I thought you were reviewing my work.
Your paintings are all trash.
There's no possibility to speak of.
You're the type that gets fat after 30.
You should find yourself a lusty dealer and sell yourself...
while you're still young.
After that, he stopped contacting her.
Yuki couldn't get over it.
Jougazaki didn't even call her once.
What do you think, Dako?
So she's indeed...
- well-endowed. - I didn't ask about that.
I'm sorry, but she is at fault too.
She offered extra service in order to gain fame.
It wasn't extra service. She really had feelings for him.
She was played.
Really?
Dako.
If you look at a scenery from dirty windows,
even the most beautiful scenery will look ugly.
That's right. Your soul is already tainted.
My apologies.
Jougazaki is a well-known womanizer.
He's a repeat offender.
Nevertheless, he's still a big catch.
But I haven't figured out...
how to bait him into the trap.
What are you doing?
A well-endowed art student.
- Fail. - Fail.
Not everything you see is true.
Is Mona Lisa actually smiling?
Is Sharaku really a Japanese?
Are the Nazca Lines really made by humans?
Welcome to the world of the confidence man.
(The Confidence Man JP: The Art Dealer)
Jougazaki Zenzo, 50 years old.
Single.
He spends an hour every morning walking to his gallery at Ginza.
He came from a poor family in Osaka.
His dad was a painter.
He was virtuous but lacked talent, causing his wife much heartache.
This is why Jougazaki despises untalented painters like the plague.
You might become a famous painter in the future.
What's this?
A fish.
Is it?
He became an art critic...
so he could put people like his dad in their rightful place.
He was self-taught and has a good eye.
He rediscovered several famous artworks...
that went missing after the economic bubble...
and shot to fame.
This is a very common mass-produced imitation work.
The skill is not bad. I can pay 50 thousand yen for it.
Apart from being a womanizer, there is a worse rumor.
Apparently, he denies the authenticity of artworks...
that are brought to the gallery and buys them cheap.
Hello, I'm Jougazaki.
About the thing we spoke before, can it be done by the 20th?
Yes.
He then sells them to underground clients...
for tax evasion and money laundering,
earning a big profit in the process.
Basically, he's using his art knowledge...
to satisfy his lust and greed.
He's just using art as a tool to scam others.
An art's worth is not about the money.
It's to enrich the human soul.
He doesn't understand art at all.
He is not qualified to judge Yuki's paintings.
Jougazaki has no right to be an art critic.
Are you finished with your little play?
Yes.
Please don't disturb me, I'm studying.
We'll start the bid at 5 million yen.
5 million, 5.1 million, 5.2 million.
6.1 million, 6.2 million.
6.5 million.
7.8 million. 7.9 million.
8.4 million. 8.5 million.
Any more bids?
8.5 million yen, sold!
The next item, number 11. Nakajima Kenta's "Frozen Time".
It's in a good condition. The bid starts at 5 million yen.
5 million, 5.2 million, 5.3 million.
6.3 million from a bidder on the phone.
6.5 million from that gentleman.
Any more bids?
7 million yen.
We've got 7 million. Anybody else?
7 million yen, sold!
4 million.
4.5 million yen.
4.5 million yen, sold!
6.2 million.
6.2 million yen, sold!
8 million yen.
We've got 8 million.
Any more bids?
Well then, 8 million yen, sold.
That's the right amount.
Let our staff pack it for you.
Understood.
Mr. Jougazaki.
The advisor of my soul.
What an honor to meet you.
I'm Wang Shou Fu...
from an international art company based in Beijing.
I'm in charge of purchasing artworks in Japan.
Ms. Wang.
Thank you for all your purchases.
All your pieces are of the best quality.
Our Chinese clients are willing to pay...
as long as the goods are great.
There are so many more incredible pieces in Japan.
We hope to do some big business in Japan.
I'll be in your care.
Have you sorted out your lunch plans?
So good!
You know your stuff.
No.
I still have a lot to learn.
I hope you'll be able to teach me.
Some people have said dumb things...
like appreciating art with the heart.
That's nonsense.
You need knowledge in order to appreciate art.
That's right.
I don't like kids' drawings.
All the talk about innocent souls drawing wonderful things...
is all crap.
The childish paintings by Picasso are worth a lot...
because they are done by Picasso.
But kids' paintings are worthless.
Only their parents give value to their work.
Exactly!
Art is for those that have a special talent.
Paintings done by mediocre people...
make me feel sick.
We share the same thinking.
After being in this line for some time,
I can pretty much tell if someone has the talent...
without having to see their work.
I bet you can draw some incredible work.
Are you going to buy my paintings then?
Of course.
Here, let's drink together.
You've already spent so much.
I'm going to collect it back with interests.
What are you doing now?
I'm preparing the bait of course.
Boku, what do you think is the happiest thing...
for an art critic?
I suppose it's...
- Wrong. - I haven't said anything.
It is discovering unrevealed works by famous artists.
That's what I wanted to say.
So are you going to bait him using fakes?
The talented artist, Dako, present to you,
Vermeer.
- That's horrific. - It's pretty tasteful.
Dako, I have to say, you are not gifted.
But Jougazaki said I am.
This only proves that he has no taste.
Do you know anything about paintings, Boku?
All right, now. Dako's painting is pretty good,
but it's a little lacking compared to Vermeer.
You mean a lot.
I guess I'll have to get his help.
(Authorized personnel only)
(Art Repairs, Ban)
Ban?
Long time no see, Dako.
You look well, Ban.
I've got a present for you.
Thank you.
I always feel so much better when I see you, Dako.
It's Daikinjyo, my favorite!
I'm going to taste it now. Mammoth Suzuki!
Who is he?
Ban Tomonori.
Born in the year of the Dog, 72 years old.
He's known as the art repairman.
His nickname is the Japanese Han van Meegeren.
Who's Han van Meegeren?
He was an incredible art forger of the 20th century.
- He even deceived the Nazis. - Look it up online.
So this is where paintings are forged.
Ban is well-versed with techniques from across the eras...
as well as specific characteristics of every famous painter.
Ban and I teamed up to sell several fake pieces in the past.
We had a perfect record.
A skilled person drawing the same thing...
using the same tools.
No one can tell the difference.
Even Jougazaki?
He is nothing, but a kid who slams on piano keys.
You're so cool, Ban!
Thank you.
Let's begin then.
This is the perfect time for a Picasso painting.
Picasso drew many paintings in his lifetime.
Many of them are still missing.
Hey.
You guys.
Scrap off all the materials from these paintings.
They are all works of unknown painters...
during Picasso's era.
We'll draw on these canvases.
We'll then dry them in the oven to finish up the masterpieces.
What should I draw?
How about a street entertainer...
during the Rose Period?
Is there anything I can help with?
You shouldn't get your hands dirty, Dako.
But once we're finished, can you...
I'll satisfy you.
What? What are you going to satisfy?
Oh, man.
I better make sure I don't draw better than Picasso.
(1 month later)
Perfect.
Genius.
The premise is that it's one of Picasso's Rose Period works.
It was confiscated by the Nazis.
It passed through many collectors in the black market...
before being secretly brought into Japan.
Someone chanced upon it...
at an antique shop in the countryside.
It's worth 200 million yen.
But we don't have evidence of its authenticity.
That's true.
But there is no proof that it's a fake either.
Which means, nobody knows whether it's real or not.
This is where an expert's words comes in handy.
Jougazaki will say it's real for sure.
That's because he can't say no to money.
Here.
An antique shop in the countryside. Go do your thing.
What if he bargains for the price?
Then we'll have Wang Shou Fu handle it.
I closed the antique shop after my dad passed away.
I found this while clearing the storeroom.
It's probably not the real thing,
but I heard that there are a lot of missing Picasso paintings.
Just to be sure.
- Where did you get this from? - I'm not sure.
My dad was an amateur art dealer in a small country town.
He often got cheated into buying fakes.
- Welcome. - Is Mr. Jougazaki in?
- Yes, but he's in a meeting. - Mr. Jougazaki!
Hello.
Do you have any new art recommendations?
Is this a Picasso?
I've never seen it before.
What a rare find.
I want this painting.
Mr. Numata.
I'll take care of this painting.
Are you going to buy it?
I want to buy it. I'm willing to pay anything.
Sorry, Ms. Wang.
This is proof of crime.
I'm going to hand it over to the police.
- What? - What?
Damn.
What bad luck.
Sorry.
- Sorry. - Ban.
Right, sorry.
- Ban! - No, you must not go!
Ban!
Every artist has their own special characteristics.
Likewise, every forger has distinct traits...
that cannot be hidden.
Several paintings have appeared in the market with the same traits.
Besides, in my brain...
is a collection of data of art repairmen.
Their traits show in their forges.
Any other expert would probably have missed it.
It's too bad he met me.
You get cheated when you're clueless.
Being clueless is a disgrace.
People who get cheated can only blame themselves.
He's been suspicious of Ban's forged paintings...
for some time.
Jougazaki's reputation just went up due to this.
What are we doing?
I'll admit it. I got defeated.
Thankfully, Ban put all the blame on himself.
The police have no reason to suspect Dako and Boku.
But it was all my fault.
Poor Ban.
I'll have to satisfy him properly when he gets out.
Satisfy what?
- Are we giving up this time? - Don't be stupid.
We need to avenge Ban. We can't just sit here.
But he can discern even the most impeccable fakes.
He has all the artists' data stored in his head, you know.
Leave me be.
Give her some time.
Dako, what you ordered is here.
Awesome!
These eggs are the best.
Let the butler cook us some egg rolls.
I want it with cheese and pickled herring.
You guys should stay and eat.
Dako never lets what happened get her down.
Isn't it delicious?
I have to agree.
It has the unmistakable egg taste, but multiplied.
The person that produces these eggs is an artist too.
(Emperor's Eggs)
What did I just say?
I wasn't listening.
(Producer, Yamamoto Iwao)
(I select only the best raw materials.)
(3 months later)
I'm so sorry. That's how my dad was.
He would buy everything anyone brought to his shop.
The other antique shops probably rejected these goods.
So I'm right.
He collected nothing, but worthless stuff.
Sorry for taking up your time. I'll take these away.
Such a terrible painting. Nobody would want it.
This painting is quite old.
Is it?
Maybe not 100 years,
but at least 70 or 80 years.
"Iwa. Y."
Do you know the person?
No. It's probably an amateur.
It's here.
"Yamamoto Iwao, "First Love". Year 1923.""
Yamamoto Iwao.
Never heard of him. Must be an amateur painter.
I'll be going now.
Year 1923.
Mr. Numata!
Sold.
Let's proceed to the next piece.
This is a very interesting artwork.
We chanced upon this rare find.
Number 24, Yamamoto Iwao's "First Love".
An oil painting done in 1923.
A 61cm by 50cm piece.
The selling point is it is painted in year 1923.
That was the budding period of Japanese Fauvism.
This painting is an outstanding piece...
by a commoner artist.
We'll start at 1.5 million yen.
1.5 million.
1.6 million.
1.7 million, 1.8 million.
1.9 million, 2 million.
10 million!
10 million yen!
We've got 10 million.
Any other bids?
Well then, 10 million yen, sold!
Thank you.
Brilliant.
Ms. Wang.
Thank you, Mr. Jougazaki.
Thank you for buying this at such a high price.
Not at all.
I think it's cheap compared to it's worth.
I'll be able to sell this for two, three, even four times its cost.
I count myself lucky.
You have such a good eye. Yamamoto Iwao.
You discovered a great artist.
Can you perhaps tell me where you got this painting?
I shouldn't be asking you that, should I?
Do you still have paintings...
by the same artist?
I'll buy all of them.
Please call me.
See you.
Who is this Yamamoto Iwao?
Do you have anything else from him?
Stop being so secretive. Let us in on it, Jougazaki.
(Unknown artist's painting sold for 10 million yen.)
(Jougazaki Zenzo was the person who discovered it.)
Excuse me.
I saw on the Internet that a painting by Yamamoto Iwao...
was sold for a high price.
What about it?
Well, I've actually got one.
A painting by that Yamamoto Iwao.
It could be a different Yamamoto Iwao.
Where did you get this?
Someone gifted it to me when I got into high school.
A relative from Ibaraki.
Excuse me.
Is Yamamoto's house nearby?
That's my house.
(Yamamoto)
Yamamoto Iwao was my dad's eldest brother.
My uncle, so to speak.
But he passed away at a young age.
I've never met him.
Was it from an illness?
Yes. Apparently, he was weak since young.
I think he died when he was 28.
He never went to school or worked like the normal kids.
It seemed he found his calling in painting.
I see.
He probably dreamt about becoming an artist.
But back then, a commoner would be unable...
to afford to study art.
I found it.
This is the only photo he left behind.
This is...
(3 months ago)
Boku, Richard. Remember what Ban told us?
We'll erase all the paintings here.
Are we making fakes again?
But Ban is still locked up.
That's why we're doing it ourselves.
Dako, we are not painters.
That's right.
You're not the son of Numata's Museum of Fine Arts.
Neither am I Wang Shou Fu from China.
We can become anyone who we wish to be.
That's who we are.
But we know nothing about painting at all.
Besides, any kind of fakes will not pass his eagle eyes.
- You should know. - Nobody said about making fakes.
This time,
we're going to draw the real thing.
- The real thing? - The real thing?
If it's real, nobody can say otherwise, right?
Since it's the real thing.
I don't get you.
Boku, what do you think makes an art critic the happiest?
Discovering unrevealed works from famous artists?
Wrong.
It's discovering the talented artist themselves.
The artist themselves?
I see.
I still don't get it.
What is the value of a painting?
You don't appreciate an artwork with your heart.
You appreciate it with knowledge.
What Jougazaki said is true and makes perfect sense.
Does it?
You mean, rather than the artwork itself,
people determine the value based on the background...
and what they hear about the artist.
That's right.
After all, the canvas and materials...
are technically worthless.
In other words, value is built on fictitious things...
that people conjure up.
That's what art is.
Van Gogh was an unknown when he was alive.
Nobody cared for his work.
But now, his paintings are sold at incredible prices.
Why?
The paintings themselves did not change.
But the people's tastes did.
Who changed it?
The expert who first critiqued Van Gogh's work.
He started the fad...
where everyone wants a piece of Van Gogh.
An art critic's biggest dream is to be the first...
to discover Van Gogh.
They will not forgive themselves for letting Van Gogh...
slip through their fingers.
Do you get it now?
So we're creating an undiscovered genius.
A new Van Gogh.
Correct!
Who is the new Van Gogh?
Is this Yamamoto Iwao?
Yes.
Do you have any of his works left?
Most of them were given away to relatives and friends.
But there are some left.
Please show them to me.
My uncle used to live in this separate house.
He used to draw there.
Here.
This is where he lived.
Yamamoto Iwao.
Born into a poor family of farmers in 1905.
He was sickly and weak.
Painting is the only thing he found joy in.
Without any formal training, he built his skills on his own.
He idolized Van Gogh and Henri Matisse.
Greatly influenced by Yorozu Tetsugoro and Maeta Kanji,
he was one of the first Fauvists in Japan.
He couldn't get recognition in the countryside.
In the end, he passed away at the age of 28...
before he could sell any of his works.
Another genius that died young.
Many of his artwork today...
are left undiscovered in his old family home.
There you go.
Did Iwao draw all of these?
Yes.
Richard will outline and Boku will color.
You should draw too.
I have no talent for drawing.
I shouldn't make things harder for you guys.
We can't draw either.
It's okay that you can't draw.
People spend money to buy the stories.
Then you draw.
What should we draw?
Draw these.
When did you come, Igarashi?
I went to the family home in Ibaraki to capture some scenes.
You sure are efficient.
Supposedly, Iwao lived in a separate house.
So the motif should be the scenery he could see from there.
In other words, the countryside.
After some post-processing of the photos,
these are the results...
with some Van Gogh effects.
All you have to do is draw these photos.
Fields, grassland, mountains.
By Van Gogh.
Farm animals and crop.
By Van Gogh.
We live in a convenient world.
It seems doable.
Or maybe,
a country girl from next door that comes to help.
Okae, 16 years old.
Take a photo of me and process it accordingly.
What a great idea.
We'll name the painting, "First Love".
This will be Iwao's signature work.
- Sixteen years old? - What about it?
They remind me of Van Gogh's work.
No way. They're just amateur work.
Not at all.
It's amazing he drew these wonderful pieces...
under his circumstances.
He was definitely a pioneer of Japanese Fauvism.
It's an incredible feat that he drew so many pieces...
even if he was ill.
No slacking. Get on with it.
We need at least 50 pieces.
If you're stumped, just draw some circles and squares...
and reference it to the budding Cubism trend.
Boku, you need to be bolder.
Fauvism is about going wild. Go wild on paper.
Like this?
More.
- Like this? - More! Put more energy!
- How about this? - More, you fool!
- What's your deal, idiot? - What, idiot?
I can feel the passion he had for life.
This is what Fauvism is about.
And this.
It looks like he developed a talent for Cubism as well.
He was a genius born into the wrong era.
Is that so?
Mr. Yamamoto.
Yes.
Will you let me buy all these paintings?
That's right.
How about 10 million yen for all of these?
Ten million yen? Really?
I'm totally a fan of Yamamoto Iwao now.
- I guess it's... - Wait a minute!
Ms. Wang! What are you doing here?
And Numata.
We did some investigating on the painting and it led us here.
Goodness!
These are all by Yamamoto Iwao. This is like finding a pot of gold.
Why did you bring her here?
You bought my painting for 500 thousand yen...
and sold it for 10 million.
That's the difference between the wise and clueless.
You shouldn't mess with the wrong person.
I'm only here to deal with you fair and square.
Mr. Yamamoto,
Mr. Iwao's paintings will be worth a lot more in the future.
Ms. Wang here is willing to buy them for ten times more...
than what Jougazaki offered.
Ten times more?
Do you mean 100 million yen?
No.
Mr. Iwao is the Japanese Van Gogh, right?
I'll pay you 300 million yen.
Three...
Mr. Yamamoto, she is a foreign buyer.
Yamamoto Iwao is a national treasure.
- He can't be measured with money. - What a bunch of crap.
You're the one seeing art as dollar signs.
Compared to you, Ms. Wang has more respect for art.
I love art.
Let's make something clear.
Ms. Wang, you're an art dealer with a deep pocket.
But as an expert, you have no credibility.
Nobody would trust you. Even if you sold Iwao's work,
you wouldn't make much off them.
Numata, listen up.
It would be different if I sold them.
Whoever I deem as a genius becomes a genius.
As long as Jougazaki Zenzo gave his approval,
anyone would be willing to pay.
The one who can turn a countryside amateur painter...
into Van Gogh is none other than me.
How about this, Mr. Yamamoto?
How about 350 million yen?
I will give you 350 million yen, so sell them to me.
Thank you.
My pleasure.
(For sale. Ibaraki Real Estate Co. Ltd.)
We're done here.
By the way, who put the frog at the house?
What is that about?
Today's auction...
will be all about one particular artist.
A star that will rise in the world of art...
from today onward.
Yamamoto Iwao.
While battling his illness,
this passionate painter dedicated his whole self to art.
A self-taught artist, he became one of the pioneers...
of Fauvism and Cubism in Japan.
He was a step ahead of the art trend of his time.
Therefore, his talent went unnoticed and none of his paintings were sold.
He passed away at the age of 28. A tragic end for a genius.
I can confidently say that he will become...
an important figure in redefining Japanese Western art.
Quiet, please.
Now, let's begin with the first painting.
"Self-portrait", year 1925.
It was drawn at the time his illness took a turn for the worse.
Bold outlines and daring strokes.
It perfectly portrays Mr. Iwao's yearning for life.
We can't help, but be touched by...
You are...
Delivery.
(Mr. Yamamoto Iwao, your attendance is appreciated.)
(Kawasaki Art Auction for the best products.)
An invitation?
"I'm totally in love with your eggs."
From Da?
I'm...
I'm Yamamoto Iwao. I sell eggs.
If you're talking about painting, I can only draw Calimero.
Delicious.
"Jougazaki Zenzo tries to sell an unknown artist's work."
His credibility just got flushed down the toilet.
Well. Poor thing.
It's the most fitting end.
He himself said, "Only the clueless gets fooled."
But that's not what I think.
Those that are cheated are not clueless.
They're just cute and innocent.
Dako, have you told Ban...
that you avenged him?
Of course. He's very happy.
That's great, Dako!
I'll be out in a few years. We'll take over the town then!
You'll need to satisfy me properly.
Clean my ears for me.
Ear cleaning? Was that what he wanted?
How about you? Don't you have to report to someone?
That well-endowed art student.
(Suto Yuki Art Exhibition, "Again")
Yes, please move this over there.
- Here? - Yes.
Yuki.
You came, thank you!
Congratulations.
I knew you'd be able to rise again.
Rise again?
Yuki.
Sir, you're here.
Thank you for your support yesterday.
It's nothing.
Sir.
Isn't this painting adorable?
This is my most confident work.
This looks nice. I'll buy it.
That's great! Thank you.
But you know, you're the most suitable one...
for my room.
- Come on. - What?
So cheeky.
I told you she offered extra service.
She probably cut her wrist numerous times before.
She gets what she wants.
After cleaning the dirty window,
you realize that the lovely mountains...
were nothing, but piles of trash.
That's what I meant.
As expected, Richard knows me best.
My problem is that I'm too pure.
What is art really about?
It's just a way to make money.
Is that so?
Isn't it something we appreciate with our hearts?
Did you draw the fountain?
Yes.
You're amazing, Da.
Who's this?
- It's mommy. - Me? So beautiful.
- This one? - Me.
- This is a rainbow. - The rainbow just now?
- Yes. - What a huge rainbow.
It's nice.
It's a great drawing.
Thank you.
- Aren't you happy? - Yes!
What's going on? Why are you here, Igarashi?
I put it up for auction online.
I didn't want it to go to waste.
What?
Dako's painting.
My Vermeer painting.
I dreamed about her wanting to kill me a few times.
The price keeps going up.
- What? - It increased.
And again.
It's at 100 thousand yen. Yes!
Now it's 150 thousand, 200 thousand, 250 thousand!
No way.
- And 300 thousand, 400 thousand. - This is scary.
And 500 thousand, 600 thousand, 700 thousand.
What's going on?
I guess I am an undiscovered genius.
Mr. Jougazaki wasn't wrong after all.
