PJ Puznowski. Think, man.
You stupid bastard, what!
Welcome to London.
Before we throw you
into the thick of it,
I should give you a bit
of the history.
Monet's Haystacks.
On September 15th, 1891, during
the course of one very productive day,
the master Impressionist
finished two oil paintings:
"Haystacks, Dawn",
"Haystacks, Dusk".
"Haystacks, Dawn" was traded
amongst various private collectors
over the years.
"Haystacks, Dusk" was put on display
in Paris at the Jeu de Paume.
That is,
until the Nazi occupation of 1941.
"Haystacks, Dusk"
was carted off to Carinhall,
the private residence
for the delectation of his eyes only.
In 1945, Carinhall is overrun
by the first division of Patton's army,
the Big Red One.
by Sergeant Brian "Bulldog" Puznowski,
the Killer of Kilgore, Texas.
Your grandfather.
For the next 67 years,
the whereabouts of Haystacks, Dusk
has proved one of the art world's
most tantalising mysteries.
And what is all this to Shabandar?
A man of outsized appetites
and enormous enthusiasms,
and no few eccentricities;
an avid nudist, a case in point.
Owing to his considerable fortune
and my not inconsiderable knowledge,
he has assembled
the most important collection
of Impressionist masterpieces
in private hands.
The prize? Haystacks, Dawn.
Acquired at auction 20 years ago
in spirited bidding.
The bid is with the gentleman
on the aisle. The bid is 8 million.
- Good heavens.
- I have eight and a quarter.
The bid is with the gentleman
on my left.
The bid is against you, sir. The bid
is eight and a quarter million pounds.
Shabandar rolled
all his competitive impulses into a ball
