00:36:36i don't know about that
00:36:38uncle paul's done some weird shit
00:36:39something's on the floor
00:36:40hey hold on
00:36:42who should i please
00:36:43please grab him
00:36:44dad uncle paul
00:36:45what should have been a joyous occasion
00:36:50has been marred by my temper
00:36:52let me offer these three gifts to mr shah for an apology
00:36:56what are these
00:37:00this was it was mike's gift
00:37:07worn by louis the 14th himself
00:37:10powered by antique mechanics
00:37:13if waldorf praises this piece
00:37:19and speaks well of us to bother
00:37:21the first branch
00:37:23might still recover
00:37:24this is clearly a replica
00:37:26smooth movement
00:37:27odd mechanics
00:37:28probably worth a thousand dollars
00:37:31but it came directly from versailles
00:37:33are you questioning my expertise
00:37:35you clearly don't have an eye
00:37:37for luxury goods
00:37:38and what is this monstrosity
00:37:42that is posing as appeal
00:37:44that was obviously
00:37:45painted by some street artist
00:37:47mr shah
00:37:48forgive my bluntness
00:37:49but it appears
00:37:50that either your offspring
00:37:52is deceiving you
00:37:53with cheap goods
00:37:54or they lack refining
00:37:55peter
00:37:57first your son steals credit
00:37:59and you gift me
00:38:01forgeries
00:38:02you're a disgrace
00:38:04and no longer part of this family
00:38:06but father
00:38:07what is this
00:38:09this byzantine emerald
00:38:22is a real beauty
00:38:23probably worth several hundred thousand
00:38:25how is that there
00:38:31why this piece of junk
00:38:35junk
00:38:37let me see this
00:38:39this isn't junk
00:38:43this is napoleon's personal snuff box
00:38:46it's a peace offering
00:38:47from the prussian king
00:38:48look at the turtle shell translucency
00:38:52the wood grain
00:38:53this is obviously authentic
00:38:55worth at least two million dollars
00:38:57two million
00:38:59so the third match is a gift
00:39:02and shines us all
00:39:03mr walder's assessment matches
00:39:05ethan's exactly
00:39:06not only
00:39:10are you a medical expert ethan
00:39:13but an antique on a sort
00:39:14ethan
00:39:16i misjudged you
00:39:18your skill set
00:39:20is something
00:39:21i have never seen
00:39:22i told you i had good taste
00:39:24so ethan's evaluation
00:39:30matched mine
00:39:30that's remarkable insight
00:39:32for someone so young
00:39:33it was nothing
00:39:34truly
00:39:35since you're so talented
00:39:37let me test your skills further
00:39:39ethan
00:39:40come over here
00:39:41this is a greek red vase
00:39:49that i've just acquired recently
00:39:51i've been in this business for decades
00:39:54the shape looks right
00:39:56the texture
00:39:57the color
00:39:58but something just seems
00:40:01off
00:40:02a forgery by the renaissance master counterfeiter of rasmus
00:40:09i see nothing wrong
00:40:11externally
00:40:12perhaps he's not as skilled as i thought
00:40:15if you don't mind me asking
00:40:16how much do you pay for it
00:40:18thirty million
00:40:20oh i'm sorry sir
00:40:23i'm afraid you've wasted your money
00:40:25that's uh
00:40:26so you think it's a fake
00:40:28you see the flaws don't lie on the outside
00:40:30it's for fin
00:40:32the floor's too clean
00:40:35don't do that ethan
00:40:38unless you're absolutely certain
00:40:41you better not
00:40:42show
00:40:43have you lost your mind
00:40:49our whole liquidity of our company
00:40:51isn't even worth 30 million
00:40:52you dumbass
00:40:53mr waldorf
00:40:55ethan is acting alone
00:40:56so if you want to press charges against him
00:40:59we fully support you
00:41:00you're all
00:41:03pathetic
00:41:04and spineless
00:41:05i'm sure
00:41:06ethan has a good reason
00:41:07for breaking the base
00:41:08right
00:41:09it's clear as day
