Uitzenddatum: Jul 23, 2005

A group of art assessors evaluate a group of paintings reputed to be the work of artist, Saeki Yuuzou, and all but one, Jimi, agree that they are genuine. However the Tenryou City Council accept the works as original and prepare a major exhibition. They also propose to add a Saeki Yuuzou self portrait owned by Fujita to enhance the exhibition being curated by his former mentor and art power-broker Funamura Gentarou. Fujita finds that Jimi has been ostracized because of his dissenting opinion, however there is growing concern about the validity of the paintings. After Funamura Gentarou is taken ill, Fujita is asked to assess them but recommends Jimi as the expert. After Fujita talks to Gentarou in hospital, Gentarou decides to name the highly principled Jimi as his successor.
