Ep. 2: Mitamura und Fujita verhandeln über das Phantom-Sonnenblumen-Gemälde im Museum.

2

Mitamura encounters Sara atop the Empire State Building and asks her about the van Gogh's Sunflowers painting which Mitamura, as the new director of the Tokyo Takada Museum presented to the museum one year earlier. The damaged phantom Sunflowers painting was believed burned and lost during World War II. Later, a woman from a wealthy Arab family asks Fujita to obtain the phantom Sunflowers painting on her behalf. When Fujita asks Mitamura for the painting, she agrees, but asks Fujita to assist in restoring some historic Shigaraki pottery from a collection of shards to trap him as a charlatan. Mitamura fails to trap Fujita, but he manages to convince Mitamura of his skills. He demands the painting, but she refuses. Fujita explains that it is a fake, but highly valued by the young woman who rescued it after losing her whole family. When Mitamura returns to Takada Museum, she finds that Fujita has replaced the fake painting with the restored original. (Source: Wikipedia)
