MASTERPIECE MYSTERY!
Zen: Cabal

Sun., June 24, 7:00 pm
Encore
What does an honest cop do when his bosses are on the side of the lawbreakers? Outwitting prosecutors, politicians, mobsters and run-of-the-mill kidnappers and killers, Detective Aurelio Zen brings justice to modern-day Italy, whether the authorities want it or not, in a trio of spellbinding cases based on the bestselling novels of British crime writer Michael Dibdin. Rufus Sewell stars as Zen, a Roman police detective hailing from Venice, where "Zen" is a local shortening of the name Zeno. Separated from his wife and living with his mother, he is too frazzled by his job to think about romance. That is, until he meets Tania Moretti (Caterina Murino), his chief's new secretary.

Cabal: a disgraced aristocrat jumps off a bridge. Or was he pushed? As usual, Zen gets mixed signals from his scheming bosses: the Ministry of Justice wants a ruling of suicide, while a powerful prosecutor hints that Zen had better start looking for the murderer. The plot thickens when it appears that the victim was trying to inform on a previously unknown group called the Cabal, with conspirators at the highest levels of Italian society.

But the kidnappers don't seem to be playing by the rules, since they kill the lawyer who shows up with a ransom payment from the family. In Italy, it's illegal to pay a ransom, so Zen must skirt this issue while dealing with the bickering relatives, who seem ready to forget about their captive kinsman.

Every picture tells a story, but in FAKE OR FORTUNE? valuable paintings are treated as crime scenes! Beyond the genteel galleries and upmarket auction houses of the art world lies a dimension of art rarely seen – a darker side of incalculable wealth, social ambition and subterfuge. In this engaging mini-series, a recognized art sleuth, a doctor of history and cutting edge scientists join forces to discover the truth behind controversial paintings. From Paris and Amsterdam to Cape Town and New York, the team employs old-fashioned detective skills, real-time investigations and the latest forensic testing to reveal compelling tales of lost masterpieces, forgers and Nazi-looted art.

The epicenter of this storm was Paris, France. This film tells the story of Paris from an unprecedented point of view, not as the familiar, glamorous backdrop for the revolutions that exploded there, but as active protagonist, catalyst and midwife to modernity.

Chefs from Asia to Italy agree the best way to infuse noodles with flavor is to sauté them. It's a critical step many home cooks skip. On this episode, Ming and his guests, Carla and Christine Pallotta, focus on that technique.

FRONTLINE
Dollars and Dentists

Tues., June 26, 10:00 pm
New
Dental care can be a matter of life and death. Yet millions of Americans can't afford a visit to the dentist. An investigation by FRONTLINE and the Center for Public Integrity reveals the shocking consequences of a broken safety net. Poor children, entitled by law to dental care, often cannot find a dentist willing to see them. Others kids receive excessive care billed to Medicaid or major surgery for preventable tooth infections. For adults with dental disease, the situation can be as dire - and bankrupting. While millions of Americans use emergency rooms for dental care, at a cost of more than half a billion dollars, corporate dental chains are filling the gaps in care, in some cases allegedly overcharging patients or loading them with high credit card debt. Correspondent Miles O'Brien investigates the flaws in our dental system and nascent proposals to fix them.

History

QUEEN VICTORIA'S EMPIRE
The Moral Crusade/The Scramble for Africa

Tues., June 26, 8:00 pm
New
At the time of Queen Victoria's birth in 1819, England was an agrarian society. Within a few short decades, this small island nation would be transformed into an industrial superpower, with an empire spanning the globe. QUEEN VICTORIA'S EMPIRE is both the story of this remarkable time and an engaging portrait of a queen who ruled over a fifth of the world's population. It is the story of influential men who would shape a distinctively British imperialism: Gladstone, Disraeli, Livingstone, Rhodes and Prince Albert, Victoria's husband. Whether driven by profit, passion or noble deeds, these figures would fuel expansion unequaled in history, forever changing Britain and the lands it controlled. Personal accounts, lush re-enactments and evocative cinematography from former outposts of the Empire, including Africa and India, recount the dramatic clash of personalities and cultures that would drive Victoria's remarkable 64-year reign.

The Moral Crusade: By 1861, Britain is the wealthiest and most powerful nation on earth. However, the death of Prince Albert weakens Victoria, and many of his political ideals fade from importance. David Livingstone's explorations of the African interior captivate the British public. Disraeli and Gladstone battle for control of the British government and debate the course of the empire. The purchase of the Suez Canal solidifies British presence in the Middle East, igniting a stampede for the colonization of Africa.

The Scramble for Africa: The Suez Canal is threatened by a holy war in the Sudan, and General Charles Gordon, killed by the rebels, becomes an "imperial martyr." Cecil Rhodes prospects diamond deposits in southern Africa and asserts British control in the region. However, as Victoria celebrates her Diamond Jubilee, the empire is on the verge of its darkest hours. The Boer War leads to devastating losses and a reassessment of British purpose. Finally, in 1901, the death of Queen Victoria marks the end of an extraordinary era.

Cunningham's book The Uncertain Revolution and shot at Morristown National Historical Park in New Jersey, the program is narrated by award-winning actor Edward Herrmann.
