of who stole whose maps.
每项发现 每场战争 各个帝国的起起落落
Each discovery, every war, the rise and fall of empires,
归根结底都是地图间谍在起作用
all turned on cartographic espionage.
就是这些计谋成就了他们的吸引力
It is this intrigue that creates their allure
为收藏家们的狂热又添了一把柴
which fuels the collectors' frenzy.
现在 咱们要找的窃贼幻想他自己
Now, our thief fancies himself
是这个大传统的追随者
a follower in this grand tradition,
于是我想到 要么他自己就是个收藏家
So it occurred to me-- he's either a collector himself
要么他就是在向其他狂热者出♥售♥自己的东西
or he's selling his wares to other enthusiasts.
收藏家通常可不想弄脏自己的手
Well, collectors don't tend to get their hands dirty,
我以我猜他是卖♥♥家
So I'm guessing it's a seller.
我也是以这个假设为出发点的
I began with the same assumption.
他肯定得找个地方
He would need somewhere for his customers
方便客户取货 对吧
to receive their goods, wouldn't he?
没准儿是前端生意
A front business, perhaps?
我们知道他崇拜雷内·杜彻
We know he admires Rene Duchez,
所以我搜索了类似名字的企业 发现
so I searched for aptly named enterprises, and...
啦啦
...voila.
布鲁克林的一家画框店 "大西洋壁垒装饰店"
A frame shop in Brooklyn called, "Atlantic Wall Decor."
这些发现并不足以令人信服
Now, that would not be compelling in and of itself.
但这家店的店主 斯图尔特·祖普克
But the owner of said shop, Stuart Zupko,
曾是个制图学的学生
was once a cartography student.
曾于2007入室行窃被首次定罪
Got his first burglary conviction in 2007.
看来他给自己谋了个合适的生计啊
It seems he's cultivated himself a niche.
怎么了
What is it?
是凯蒂
It's Kitty.
警方确实找到了祖普克先生
The police have indeed found Mr. Zupko.
这是好事啊 不是吗
Oh, that's a good thing, isn't it?
好消息是祖普克应该就是我们要找的窃贼
The good news is it looks like Zupko was our guy.
我们找到了图书馆失窃的那些地图
We found all the maps that were taken from the library.
包括布雷地图
Including the Bray map.
这是唯一被展开的地图
It was the only one that was laid out.
祖普克一定是站在这里
Zupko must have been standing here.
很明显 他遇害时正在检查这幅地图
Obviously, he was examining the map when he was killed.
或是在向某位买♥♥家进行展示
Or displaying it for a buyer.
有道理
That would make sense.
没有强行闯入的痕迹
There are no signs of a break-in.
可如果夏洛克是对的
But if Sherlock was right,
如果图书馆的行窃案
If the robbery at the library really was
真的只是为了布雷地图
all about the Bray map, and if that's what this is about,
那么杀害祖普克的人为什么没带走它
then why would Zupko's killer leave the map behind?
因为这不是布雷地图
'Cause this is not the Bray map.
这是赝品
It's a fake.
看起来挺像真的 对吧
Certainly looks real, doesn't it?
纸张的年份无误 更增加了可信度
It helps that the paper is the right age.
这纸张大概有两百四五十年的历史了
It's about two and a quarter centuries, give or take.
可你们确定这是赝品
But you're sure that it's a fake.
福尔摩斯先生一眼就看出来了
Mr. Holmes could tell right away.
那类地图应该是先雕刻在铜板上的
Maps like that were engraved on copper plates,
然后再拓印到纸上
and then they were printed onto paper using a press.
着墨的地方应该能感觉到纸张有微微的凸起
You can feel where the paper is slightly raised where the ink is
因为铜板上对应的位置是镂空的
'cause that's where the copper was carved away.
问题是 有人在那纸上
The thing is-- someone washed off a different image
洗掉了另一幅图 然后用它做赝品
from that paper and then used it to make their own forgery.
必须得承认你的话
Gonna have to take your word for it.
我们有一位专家做了一些测试
We had an expert run some tests.
发现墨水产于上世纪四十年代
He determined that the ink was produced in the 1940s,
在你祖父把地图借给图书馆的几年前
A few years before your grandfather loaned the library the map.
我不明白
I don't understand.
你是说他给了他们一副赝品吗
Are you saying that he gave them a fake?
这地图自始至终都是假的
That it-it was fake all along?
有这个可能
It's a possibility.
我不知道说什么好了
Well, I don't know what to say.
他肯定不会明知是赝品还交给图书馆的
Obviously, he wouldn't have given it to the library knowingly.
他能有什么好处
What-what would he have stood to gain?
我必须澄清 布雷女士
All right, just so we're clear, miss Bray,
没人想令你或你的家人蒙羞
No one's trying to embarrass you or your family.
我们之所以告诉你这些
The reason we're sharing this is--
是因为最后经手这地图的人已经死了
The last person to handle that map is dead.
有一种证据理论表明
There's a theory of evidence that suggests
斯图尔特·祖普克是受雇去偷图的
That Stuart Zupko was hired to steal it.
后来当买♥♥家发现是赝品
And then when the buyer realized it was a fake,
就杀了他
They killed him.
如果我们没猜错 买♥♥家现在可能
If we're right, the buyer may still be looking
还在寻找真的地图 而它此前是你家的资产
for the real map, which was last in your family's possession.
你是说我有危险吗
Are you saying that I'm in danger?
我是说你应该多加留心
I'm saying you should keep your eyes open.
如果发现什么不寻常的事
If you see anything out of the ordinary
或是有人试图联♥系♥你
or if anyone tries to contact you,
请联♥系♥我们
you should call us.
这次我声音够小了吗
Was I quiet enough for you?
我又撬了一次锁
I picked the lock again.
看来是的
So you did.
是你让我来的 为什么我觉得
You asked me to come here, so why do I get the feeling
我打扰到你了
that I'm interrupting?
我们现在有理由确信
We can now say with reasonable certainty
斯图尔特·祖普克杀了
that Stuart Zupko killed the guard
三十九大街图书馆的警卫
at the 39th street library.
如果我没猜错 他随后被
If I am right that he was in turn killed
他的一位痴迷地图的买♥♥家杀害
by one of his map-obsessed customers,
所以我们有必要查明他们的身份 对吧
It behooves us to identify them, does it not?
她看起来像是地图收藏家吗
Is she supposed to be a map collector?
我联♥系♥了本市几家信誉良好的拍卖♥♥行
I've spoken with some of the city's more reputable auction houses,
我发现布雷地图原属于
and I have discovered that the Bray map was originally
一本叫《斯迈思之弗吉尼亚》的地图集
one plate from an atlas entitled Smythe's Virginia.
作者是爱德华·斯迈思 早期绘制地图的
Edward Smythe, the early American surveyor
美国勘测员 他的作品如今又盛行起来
who drew the maps, is currently very much in vogue.
目前 地图集被拆解开来
Now, the process of dismantling atlases and
以单张售卖♥♥
selling their individual maps
对收藏家来说早已不是新闻
has long been common amongst collectors.
这反而为收集全套地图
This, in turn, has created an even more lucrative market
创造了更利润丰厚的市场
for reassembling the books.
完整的《斯迈思之维吉尼亚》价值多少钱
Okay, so how much is a restored Smythe's Virginia worth?
远超过所有单张地图的总价值
Far more than the sum of its parts.
起码要几百万美金
Several million, at least.
这么说 如果有人快要收集全了
So, if someone were close to completing their copy...
那就解释了这个人为何
Would explain why that person
只对布雷地图感兴趣
only really cared about the Bray map.
有一个叫奥斯丁·康布拉特的收藏家
Now, there is a collector named Austin Cornblatt.
他一直在收集地图集的单页
He's been trying to assemble a copy of the atlas.
他在拍卖♥♥会上不吝重金拍下几张地图
He's bid very aggressively for plates in several auctions.
他很有可能是嫌犯
He could be a viable suspect.
即使不是 那他也有可能
If not, he might have some insights
向我们提供搜集地图之人的信息
into others who've sought them out.
你还是没解释...
Well, still doesn't explain the, um...
今早
Earlier this morning,
我主动联♥系♥了康布拉特先生
I initiated a dialogue with Mr. Cornblatt
用的是假身份
Under false pretenses.
你面前的鄙人正是安珀1776
You are currently speaking with Amber1776,
美国历史的狂热爱好者
An obsequious American history major
对他的收藏垂涎不已
who's been fawning over his collection.
我喜欢水上运动和成功人士
I enjoy water sports and people who don't suck.
好一招美人计
You are a honey trap.
我是爱国人士
I'm a patriot.
我们上一次交谈时
And over our last exchanges,
我巧妙地引导
I've deftly steered the conversation
他给我展示他的地图集收藏品
towards him letting me see a copy of his atlas.
给我看他的维吉尼亚地图...
He shows me his Virginia...
懂了懂了
I-I get it.
你刚到的时候
I had hoped to hear back from him
我正期盼他的回音
