00:00Any idea how much this painting is worth?
00:01Yes, as I said, nothing.
00:04It's a fake.
00:05And there are several reasons why we knew this, starting with Paige.
00:08She loves this artist.
00:09Seeing the painting should have made her happy.
00:10But when she looked at the painting, she displayed the same repulsion markers
00:14our sense of smell gives us to rotting meat when it exudes an odor.
00:17Her subconscious instinctively knew something was off, but she didn't know what it was.
00:21Then I did a quick count of the brush strokes.
00:23There's 1,387, which is 48 less than the original.
00:27And the type of nails in the frame weren't even manufactured
00:31until four years after this painting was supposedly made.
00:33Rotting meat, brush strokes, and nails?
00:40That's all you had to go on before you destroyed a masterpiece?
00:43A fake masterpiece.
00:44He's right.
00:45Special Agent Carey, FBI Art Crimes.
00:48We just analyzed the paint and carbon dated the frame.
00:51The painting is a forgery.
00:52Thank you for repeating exactly what I said 63 minutes ago.
00:57Definitely.
