Overnight Metropolitan (1x37)

Fecha de emisión: Sept 24, 2005

At the Metropolitan Museum of Art, a party is held for sponsors of a Goya exhibition. The same day, Fujita visits Parker, an old colleague, and gave him some special glue for restoring Japanese paintings. In return, Fujita asks to be able to view the European paintings alone. Meanwhile, Norman the director, shows Mr. Richardson, wealthy businessman around the exhibit, seeking sponsorship. Richardson does not know much about art, although his son studied and wrote about Rubens. Fujita encounters Richardson who asks him for a tour of the museum, and Fujita obliges. He introduces Richardson to the people involved in running the museum, many of whom call him "the Professor". Richardson confides that his only son died recently and he feels that people are circling like hyenas to get his money. Just then, the director finds them and reprimands Fujita for being on the premises. Later, Richardson donates $3 million to the museum, saying he was impressed by the work of the people there.
