c raftsmen a re known for.

I ndeed.

But the paint, it was

manufactured in the Far East.

- Meaning?

- Dutch painters use European paint.

- Not necessarily.

- Whatever.

None of th is

would be happening

if Miles hadn't

insisted on the tour.

Lou is, did it ever occur to you that the

painting was swapped before the tour?

Impossible!

I would have noticed.

I would have noticed,

and he knows it.

Miss Carver, we catalogue

our local artists,

so maybe if you

searched our slides

- for the forger --

- I'd be glad to. Thank you.

- Okay. I'll arrange it then.

- Great.

Ahh, yes. Well, quite a pair,

our boys, aren't they?

- Well, at least they're enthusiastic.

- Yeah. So am I. So am I.

It seems the guy who bought

this lousy landscape

Iives here in Amsterdam.

- Lemmer, the dealer.

- Art?

Heroin.

Lemmer's been either

pushing or in prison

- for the last 20 years.

- Which is he now?

Let's find out.

Hi.

Fascinating, isn't it?

Oh, yeah.

How many images

do you have?

Oh, well over a million.

Oh, great.

I leave you now.

- Bye-bye.

- Bye.

Ohh.

Lemmer, the guy who bought

the painting, lives here.

Well, I can't imagine

that big old painting

hanging over his mantel piece.

- I'm gonna take a poke around.

- We don't have a warrant.

Yeah, I know that.

Okay. You better not be here.

I'll see you later.

No, no, no, no,

no, no, no.

I'll handle it myself!

What are you doing here?

Me?

- Who is this guy?

- What?

What the hell are you

doing on this guy's boat

if you don't know

who the hell he is?

Look, I'm asking the questions

around here.

Oh, jeez.

The guy cut me.

Michael!

You're hurt!

Don't fuss. Please,

please don't fuss.

Michael--

This job was

supposed to be easy.

I want to talk to her.

You burglarized his place.

He's the one

who can press charges.

- And you did it on my watch.

- If you'd just--

Well, at least we know Miles Van Dehn

is involved somehow.

- He met with Lemmer.

- Lemmer bought the painting,

had it stolen to cover

where it went next.

Oh, I don't think so.

- I want to tail this guy in here.

- You better not let the lieut--

You come with me. We're going

to generate enough paperwork.

Lemmer can't make trouble.

- Can I ask just one question?

- Now!

Mike, he looks a little mad,

maybe you should

go talk to him.

Are we done?

Hey, you think

I enjoy staying late?

Oh...

Mike.

He's home.

Glad to hear you're

still on the job.

Oh, man.

Who did this to you?

Lemmer?

He's gone.

Where'd he go?

I don't know.

Eh?

He came home

from the cops mad.

Oh, jeez. I'm so sorry.

Come on, come on. Come here.

Let's take you to the hospital.

Come on.

Come on.

There you go.

Brokerage firms and their clients

were still staggering

from the effects of what's being termed

"the Hong Kong massacre."

Stock prices continued falling

with no bottom in sight.

This morning,

the federal reserve

- made an emergency announcement...

- Yeah.

Michael, go to visual.

- I see you.

- We may have a lead.

In every city the " Night Watch"

was exhibited,

the local museums

picked up the expenses.

Every city but Hong Kong.

There...

Martin Schraeder,

art connoisseur,

businessman, he picked up

the whole ticket.

- American?

- Yeah. We're doing a full background.

What about your other suspects?

Yeah, could be.

Got to go.

- How you doing?

- Okay. Pain killers.

- How come you're still here?

- I just thought...

you might like

a cup of coffee.

Hmm? Come on.

Let me ask you

a question.

Has he done this

to you before?

You know.

- I'm not going anywhere with you.

- Okay.

- We'll just talk here.

- I don't talk to cops.

I'm going home.

Look, if you're

looking for Lemmer,

he's not there.

The cops picked him up.

- What for?

- Assault.

I called it in.

- Leave me alone.

- Jennifer, Jennifer--

- No. Get out of my face!

- All right--

Jennifer!

Hey! Come here!

Pressure. Push, push.

Call an ambulance!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey! Get away!

Look.

I just want to talk, all right?

Oh! Ho, ho!

What happened next?

I don't remember.

You don't remember

doing this?

Well, I didn't do that.

You're sure?

Yeah.

What happened

to your knuckles?

- Oh, that's work.

- What kind of work?

Th is guy is not going to talk.

He might.

I'm sorry

I wasn't there for you.

So am I.

- Look, it's no big deal, really.

- Yes, it is.

Oh, come on.

Don't start that. I mean,

It's not like what happened

at the beach with Luke, okay?

- Yeah.

- Not at all.

Yeah, sure.

Sure.

It's just that...

It's just that I feell...

should've been there,

I should've done more.

I should have gotten closer

with the boat. I...

I know that nobody,

nobody could've saved Luke

if you couldn't have.

Someday you'll

know that too.

- Hey.

- Yeah, yeah, come in. Hi.

That's okay.

He can't see you.

So what, man? She fell.

We didn't fight. She fell.

She's a stupid,

clumsy twit, man.

Doctors say she's got

scars for life. Yeah.

Who gives a damn?

You don 't care that

she ended up in the hospital?

- No, why should l?

- Yeah... right.

Why is it the waitress

at the coffee shop says

you told her...

I know what he did

with that painting.

That's what you want

to know, isn't it?

Yes.

After it was nicked

from the van,

he gave it to some guy.

Who?

Hmm.

Don't know.

He lived in Hong Kong.

Thank you.

Welcome to the Regent Hong Kong,

Mr. a nd Mrs. Graham.

Thank you.

How do they know our names?

Class-- theirs.

Hi. Did you have

a pleasant flight, Mrs. Graham?

Yes. Thank you.

Excellent. The manager's reserved

our honeymoon suite for you,

with his compliments.

Isn't that wonderful, darling?

Just wonderful.

- Thank you very much.

- Yes.

Oh my, a suite.

What a lavish room.

Yes, I can't wait to be

in your loving arms.

- Oh, Mike, cool it.

- Is that an order?

I think Caldwell's created

the perfect cover for us.

Whatever you say, dear.

I mean, it lets us

work together,

and it explains our trip.

It doesn't explain

where you're sleeping.

Does it, now?

Yeah. Yes, very nice.

Yeah. Let me see the other one, can I?

Just side by side?

That's it, yeah.

I don 't know.

Mm-hmm, that's good.

I think they're both lovely.

Excuse me just a moment.

Michael.

Mikey!

- Yeah?

- Your watch is on.

U h-huh.

What are you doing?

I'm a guy

on his honeymoon, right?

You're about to have

a chaperone-- me.

It's not necessary.
