Le prime 200 righe.
- Good evening, madam. - I'm here to meet someone, Adam Lucas.
I don't believe he has arrived.
Perhaps you'd like to look inside.
I'm afraid I don't know what he looks like.
Ah, well, if you take a seat at the bar or at your table,
- I'll show him in when he arrives. - My table will be fine.
very well.
Excuse me.
Could you ask that man who's sitting alone over there if his name is Adam Lucas?
Thank you.
- I'm sorry, ma'am, no. - Thank you very much.
Taxi.
That's enough for now.
I'll get it. They're probably here to pick up my angels.
This is incredible, isn't it?
I had a feeling I knew you from somewhere.
- I had a feeling. - You did?
Oh, I was bringing this amphora in to be repaired.
You don't remember, but I was in here about a year ago.
I brought in a mosaic,
third century from Herculanium, portrait of a young boy.
There was another woman, dark-haired. She worked on the piece.
Charlotte, my partner. I remember that mosaic.
- She did a terrific job. - Good.
I'm Jack Saunders,
curator of antiquities, Founders Museum.
Adrienne Davis. I don't have a title.
Well, it's nice to meet you finally.
- Same. - Adrienne, I'm leaving.
- I'll lock up. - See you tomorrow.
- That's her. - Let's have a look at that.
We used to have a house in Searsport, Maine.
I had an aunt and uncle who had a house...
- not ten minutes from Searsport. - You're kidding me.
Me and my cousins used to go there, swim all summer.
Really?
You and I were probably there at the same time.
Ever go to a place called The Breakers?
We used to try to sneak into The Breakers to dance and listen to the music.
- I can't believe this. - What's your favorite song?
Earth Angel.
Good morning.
No, don't get up, please.
Go on doing whatever it was you were doing.
Here's to Adam Lucas, with deepest gratitude.
- Who? - Your blind date the other night.
Oh.
So, what are you doing tonight?
I don't know.
How about tomorrow night?
I don't know.
How about the rest of your life?
Am I being too presumptuous?
Well, that remains to be seen.
Mommy, can I blow out the candles now?
- Hang on, honey. - Let's sing Happy Birthday.
I Happy birthday to you
- Mommy, can I cut it now? - Yes!
Thank you, Daddy.
My scariest purchase was $1.2 million for an Etruscan urn.
It was in perfect condition.
It was so perfect, they had doubts of its authenticity.
We had five authenticators on that one.
Best piece I ever purchased.
That's enough business. We have cake here.
- Give me that! I want that. - No, you don't!
- No more nothing! - No more nothing!
It's me.
The day you were born, the happiest day of my life.
Mine, too.
Where's Granny and Papa?
- Granny and Papa? You mean, mine? - Yours.
Okay, where are they? Is that them?
- That's not them. - Is that them?
That's not them, either.
- That's them. - Okay, here's a picture of me
when I was a boy in Nebraska.
Standing next to me is Grandpapa Thomas.
Standing next to him is your grandmother, Lorraine.
Over here is a bicycle I used to ride.
- See that bike? - Mm-hmm.
Over here where you can't see...
is a hill where we used to go tobogganing.
Tell me again about granny's eyes.
Granny's eyes were beautiful, exactly like...
- Exactly like mine. - Right.
Okay, time to go to sleep.
- Good night, Daddy. - Good night, sweetie.
- You know what I'm thinking? - What?
How lucky I am.
Lucky how?
You don't know anything.
Aaah!
Aaah!
Aaah!
Aaah!
You're more beautiful than she is.
- Adrienne Saunders. - Hey!
- What are you wearing? - A slip.
- Your underwear? - No! Do you like it?
- You look great! - Thanks.
- Hi, Jack. - Hi, Harvey.
I was wondering if you'd get around to me.
I hate these things. I'll see you later.
You two should form a club.
Oh, look at this.
Pretty interesting.
Jack, has the urn arrived? It was supposed to come in yesterday.
- I'm heartbroken to part with it. - I'll tell you what.
We're gonna give you special visitation rights, okay?
It's a very generous gift, Mrs. Peabody.
- We're infinitely grateful. - Good.
- Where's Tomasz? - I don't know. We just got here.
If you see him, tell him I want him to thank me too.
I will.
"Special visitation rights"?
- You're so smooth, Jack. - It takes practice.
And who do you practice on? Me?
Whenever I get the chance.
Excuse me, Haw. I'm gonna check on Mary.
- Can I use your phone? - Sure.
- Here. - Thanks.
' - Ooh!
Aaah!
Oh, my God!
Did you sense any depression?
Any mood swings?
I saw him just this afternoon.
He seemed fine.
Maybe he was depressed about his heart condition.
He was taking a lot of pills.
He was talking about a fishing trip.
- He was planning a trip. - Yeah.
He spoke to me about that up in Connecticut.
Mrs. Saunders, it would be best if you would come down to the station tomorrow.
We need you to sign a statement.
Of course.
What about the rest of us?
That won't be necessary.
We'll contact you if we need anything more.
Are you all right?
- No. - Are you okay?
A cop tells you to sign a statement,
- and that's supposed to close the book? - What do you expect?
- They see hundreds of these a week. - Well, I don't.
- I think Tomasz deserved better than that. - I know how you feel.
I want to know why a guy who's gonna commit suicide
sets his watch to take heart medication.
Adrienne, they told you.
The watch was probably preset.
- He didn't even think about it. - You're probably right.
I need you to sign this piece out, Jean.
We're loaning it to the Corcoran for their Egyptian exhibit.
Thanks.
Hmm.
It looks like someone's already run a test on this.
I got your bath ready, sweetie.
- Now take your clothes off. - Okay.
I'll be right back.
- Hi. - Hmm.
What's the matter?
They discovered a fake necklace...
in the Egyptian collection at the museum.
$4.5 million, and I bought it.
Who authenticated it?
Harvey.
Harvey authenticated it, but it's my ass on the line.
It's my career, my reputation.
Damn, I know what I bought. I know it was real.
Somebody must've switched them.
Tomasz.
What?
Maybe he was in trouble. Maybe he needed money.
Something could have happened.
Honey...
Tomasz was not a criminal.
I'm trying to tell you, everybody's going to be looking at me.
They're all looking at me.
- That's good, honey. - Yeah.
Let me get your back.
- It's not too hot, is it? - No.
I'm sorry.
I don't know what I'd do without you.
You'd think of something.
Who are you?
You want me to make you guys some dinner?
Mm-hmm.
What do you want? Fried soapsuds?
No.
I love you. Thanks.
Hello, Ernesto's? I want to order take-out.
Three chicken fricassees.
Two rice and beans. Do we have any coke?
- Yep. - No coke. I have another call.
This is Jack Saunders. I'll pick it up in ten minutes. Thanks.
Hello? Yeah, this is me.
Son of a bitch!
I can't believe this. Now, with every...
All right. All right.
I'll be there. Okay, bye-bye.
