I'd like you to appraise this, please.
Certainly.
A Pamphlet?
Your website said you'd appraise anything.
Yes, I will appraise anything.
a food-tasting at my restaurant.
They offered to pay well,
...but I'm worried.
About what?
Everything will be free, and it's very lavish.
I don't want my restaurant
mixed up in funny business.
L can't really go to the police.
Then I saw your website.
It says 'all-round'.
Does anything strike you as odd?
Yes. There is one strange thing
in this pamphlet.
This picture of the food inspection.
Where?
Right here.
That green pen at the back.
The Zebra 'Arbez Piirto'
only comes in red, blue, and yellow.
But the cap's green.
That means...
...the photograph has been altered.
Altered?
These bananas were originally yellow.
The Plant Protection Act forbids
the importation of bananas that ripe.
They couldn't get fresh ones,
so they had to doctor the photo.
So this picture's been faked.
That's my appraisal.
Um...
Yes?
Would you appraise the tasting itself?
Certainly.
This is crap!
Dis deeper!
Go into the background of the background!
I dug as far...
You barely scrape the surface!
I want what's really going on!
Right?
Shimada!
Take over this arson story
from Ogasawara.
It's beyond him.
Sure.
I'll do it.
- OK.
-It's not OK!
I give up.
Here.
Do the gourmet page.
Screw that up...
...and it's the poetry page.
I don't understand poetry!
You don't understand anything!
Just write me a decent article.
Excuse me.
No photography is allowed.
Is that right?
No pictures?
I'm sorry.
What's up with that?
The first dish we have for you...
...became common in Turkish homes
about a century ago.
We hope you'll enjoy it.
So it's pyramid sales?
I don't think so.
But something's not right.
No?
There's something funny going on.
Why didn't they slice the tomatoes
before they fried the bananas?
To make the bananas smell fresher?
They won't after they're deep-fried.
Oh, right.
They said this dish became popular
a century ago in Turkey...
Yes.
Tomatoes are very common
...but they only started growing them there...
...about 40 years ago.
Why cut them at this point in the process?
What if the timing's important?
Maybe...
Just maybe...
I thought so.
What is it?
When the ear hears sounds
from different sources...
...it can distinguish them.
But with high sounds over top of low ones...
...since the ear uses a non-linear algorithm...
...you hear the high sounds,
but not the low ones.
Uh...
Look.
to mask another one.
Auditory masking.
Is that odd?
They play easy-listening music in elevators...
...to hide elevator noise.
Machine noise makes people nervous,
so that calms them down.
High frequencies over low ones.
Low-volume background music hides motor noise.
'Masking'.
Sound control.
See?
Even 50 decibels at the right frequency...
...can hide a 90 dB sound pressure.
That mixer could hide an electric screwdriver.
It could?
an acetylene torch cutting steel.
The fryer could mask a power hacksaw.
Or breaking glass.
Just maybe...
What's upstairs?
A gallery. It's closed...
Closed?!
Call the police!
Call the police!
Too late!
Hold it!
Ow!
I'm all right. It's nothing.
I'm fine.
Really.
Wow!
Gee, thanks!
You're really OK?
Yes.
Sorry.
Thank you.
You're with the press?
How did you know?
The camera.
Pictures!
