I want to smoke.

I want to smoke.

Fine. Smoke.

Smoke all night.

Bonjour, Nick. Bonjour, madame.

Voilà, bonne journée.

Albert.

Nick. Hi.

Jean -Claude. So, the trip was good?

So how are we doing?

All great. We have many reservations for tonight.

Good. How many covers you have last night?

Over 160.

Good.

How's the music?

Oh, great band.

Good.

Albert.

Scotch on the rocks, please. A little water. Yeah, sure.

Merci.

Attention! Les enfants!

Grand -père, j 'arrive.

Ah, Monsieur Max, bonjour. Comment vas -tu?

Où est Nicky? Juste en haut. Max!

Voilà.

Did you have a good trip?

Well, not as interesting as yours, I'm sure.

My God, let me get a look at you.

You know, you look like shit.

What's your secret?

Jean -Claude, do you want to set up number two for us?

Yes, sir.

How about something?

Let me down.

Ah, God.

Well, it was pretty tight out there.

That's good. It's going to keep you sharp.

I got a minor development.

You lost the buyer.

Lost? What do you mean, lost?

Well... She's in a brass casket six feet underground, never to be heard from

again.

Well, I fronted $20 ,000 in expenses.

Now I'm due that plus $250 for my hair. You don't think I'm not going to take

care of you? I'm not going to cover your expenses and all that? It's not about

covering my expenses. I want the money. We've got to find another buyer.

Of course, but Jesus Christ, shit happens. This thing is going to drag

You've got to be patient.

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

How about this?

Four big ones in your hand.

Four million dollars in your mitt.

Four million?

More than you ever even dreamed up. More than we ever, ever did together.

Four million.

What are you into?

Well, I spotted this item which was really exceptional. It was European

antiquity.

Elegant. And it was in the hands of this real dumb prick that didn't know what

he had.

And... Unfortunately, it's become detained in transit a little.

You don't want to know where?

It depends.

Depends on what?

Depends on what you're going to tell me.

Okay.

It's in the Montreal Customs House.

Oh, no. Oh, yeah.

Wait a minute.

I got a guy?

I got a guy inside who gives you the whole layout, handles security, every

everything. You know, you used to tell me, steal outside the country, steal in

the States, steal in Europe, but Montreal, live in Montreal.

I said a lot of dumb things in my day, didn't I?

Yeah, but that's... Right.

Well, let's just find another buyer for this, okay?

I got to open the place.

Okay, but I'm not finished talking about this.

Jean -Claude, Albert.

Come on, make me a lunch. Yeah.

I just landed. I got the delivery.

Got the bag?

Yeah, right here.

Where's Johnny?

He got it in Istanbul, right through the neck.

Jesus, he was a good kid.

Yeah, good and dead.

So you want to talk or you want to see what I got?

How can I be sure you're okay?

I suppose I could fuck you.

That would work.

Hey.

You okay?

Yeah.

Great.

How was your trip?

I don't know.

City.

They are all starting to look the same.

They really are.

The pasta in Rome is not as good as yours.

And the ass pinches.

They used to look so charmingly European.

Not as good as me?

You know, that really must be what it is about you I like, because you most

definitely are not common.

What if I were?

What if you were what? A little more common, you know, and around more.

How much more?

Like all the time more.

And I was just a jazz club owner and not that other thing. How would you feel

about that?

Hey, are you saying what I think you're saying? I think that's what I'm saying.

Hey, baby, now you know I've never asked you to change anything for me. You know

that, right? I know that. I'm just asking you, how would you feel about

I suppose I'd have to give it some serious thought.

Well, then you'd better start giving it some serious thought.

Thank you.

I see you want to see?

I see you want to see.

Excuse me.

Can you help me, please?

Can you help me?

Flash Norman?

Yes, yes.

You go to the corner, you make a right, you go two blocks. Two. Two blocks, then

a left for one block. Again, please? Two blocks on the corner, two blocks this

way, one block that way to the left. And you're right there.

Okay, thank you. Okay. Thank you, Nick.

What?

What did you say?

I said thank you, Nick.

I'm Max's guy in the customs house.

We should talk.

Okay, bye -bye. Thank you.

Thank you. Bye.

Where's Max?

He's in his cell room.

Max. Have you lost your fucking mind?

My mind?

Yes, years ago. Why? What did you tell him? What did you tell this kid?

What did I tell who? Your guy, your inside guy with the retard act. He was

front of my house. He knew who I was.

Oh.

Wait a minute. He must have followed me to the club and made you from there. You

tell him next time he pulls a fucking stunt like that, he's going to wind up

the hospital.

Wait a minute. You think I'm going to set you up with a jerk -off heister?

You've got to admit that this kid did a pretty good job. Are you crazy? I don't

give a shit who he is. You don't expose me like that. You've got to know better.

He's got it all pre -wired, Nicky. You go and you turn the key. I told you I'm

not interested.

You're never going to get another chance at a score like this. What's the matter

with you? Why are you pushing this? Four million balls. How many times do I

fucking tell you? I'm pushing it because we're running out of time.

I'm just saying, if I'm going to work with a partner on this, we've got to

putting our heads together right away. What are you doing in my house? Take it

easy. All I'm saying is I'm going to work with you. What the fuck do you

I'm the guy who's been on this for three weeks. I've got to know if we're the

guy that Max says you are. I've got to go.

Nick, Nick, Nick.

Wait, wait.

Nicky. Hey.

I didn't come 500 miles. Just Jack Teller. Nice to meet you, too.

What the fuck?

You're not smart enough to know where your dick is.

We decided that you were going to sit tight until I called you. Is that

Okay, okay. I thought I could help you sell him on it. I thought you said he

already in. Don't be so fucking creative. Just get the fuck out of my

will you? You know what? When you guys get your shit together, give me a call,

okay?

It's a lucky thing you came my way today.

I'm about to tell you something you should know.

All you have to do is let the plot unfold.

Desire it clear.

When you are near, you're about to give in.

Thank you.

... ... ... ...

Take it easy.

Listen close.

Leave town tonight. Don't come back.

I see you again, I break your fucking knees.

I see you around Nick, I'll kill you.

It's a dangerous fucking game you're playing here.

Are we clear?

Yeah, we're clear.

How'd it go?

Not as planned.

What do you want?

I'll take some fucking respect from you, for starters. How about that?

I mean, what are you thinking?

You know, I'm on a job here.

Now, if you just don't want to come in on it, that's fine. Say no, but don't

send some fucking third -rate renter thug to brush me off. You can do it like

professional.

Hello?

He's right here.

Don't worry. Just go home. I'll call you later.

All right?

It's okay.

Okay.

Look, I didn't come here to cause any trouble.

All right? I didn't.

I mean, coming up to you on the street like that, that was a stupid move.

Sorry. Why don't we just call it even?

I just want to say one thing to you, then I'll go away. We don't have to

each other anymore if you don't want.

I have been casing this place for a couple weeks now.

It's a little bit complicated, but this is a very doable job.

I can handle the system in there if someone else can break into this box.

Look, I don't know you. You don't know me.

I know that's not the best way to do things, but I am very good at what I do.

Okay? And I take it very, very seriously. You can check it out with

Now, if you are the guy that he says you are, then...

We should check this out. Just take a look at it.

That's all I'm saying, because this is a very big payoff for very acceptable

risks.

Just take a look at it. Go look for yourself.

I like your place.

It's got good taste.

Oh, Jesus, it's nice and dark in here.

Fuck it, everything.

Hey, Nick.

Nick.

Jesus.

Why don't you jump for some lights in this place?

Every time I come in here, it's hide and go seek.

How are you?

You got to tell me the magic word.

All right, I'm going to do it.

Good, good. She's a sweetheart.

You're a sweetheart.

Bravo. Making sense.

Look, because of the risk involved, my end's got to be six million.

Operator, I cut a nut down here that just said six million.

No, no, it's paramedics, I think. You all right?

I'm fine.

Six fucking million dollars? What happened before?

I'm done. I'm doing it in my backyard.

I'm not going to go like that. I'm sorry.

If you want me to do this, you've got to pay me what's right. It's got to be

that way. I always pay you what's right.

You always think you pay me what's right. I always know what you're paying

It's not always right. I need this for this.

I like your style.

Yeah, well, okay, I understand.

That's what I have to do. I want to... I want to pay off the club, the mortgage.

I want to own this place free and clear.

I want it to be mine.

I live the way I want.

Because after this, no more jobs. This is the last one I'm doing.

I'm quitting. We're good.

How many times have you told me that in 25 years?

I mean, I'm going to believe that when the pigs eat my brother.

Right? I'm done.

I'm done. No more.

Well, okay.

Hope she's worth it.

None much.

Nice house, nice club.

You must be really good.

I don't want to have to do this, but raise your arms. Raise your arms.

You're my guest.

He's all right.

Okay?

I will explore this with you, but I run this

operation down to the smallest detail.

If you have a problem with that, we can all go home right now.

Is there a problem with that?

That's fine.

You will tell me everything you know, then I will design the plan.

If I smell something about the job or you that I don't like, I walk away.

If I think for one second you're not living up to your end of it, or if you

out on me in any way, I walk. Understood?

That's fine.

Tell me what you want to know.

First of all, what are we looking for?

You know what a scepter is?

It's something that a king holds.

Right there.

It was made in 1661 in France for a special coronation for a girl queen.

It's priceless.

Not us.

Not... What can you give me on a specific location?

I can give you the whole building, okay? I got floor plans.

I've been clocking security patterns for over three weeks.

All right. Paint me a picture.

Okay.

He fixed me up with the job. I mean, not me, but Brian, the guy on the street.

Yeah, I remember.

Is he traceable? Phone number, address, that stuff? No, no, no, no. It's totally

tight. Guy, it's a charity case, a favor. I mean, the guy truly doesn't

exist on paper. He just shows up.

He's an assistant janitor, midnight to 8 a .m.

The security's pretty basic. I mean, at night, they just lock the whole place

down. They bar the ground floor windows. You can only enter in through one

place, out by the truck court.

Thank you, Uber.

Thank you.

Manpower's very light. They got one guy sitting in the booth outside just

keeping an eye on things.

On the inside, everyone's got to come in through a standard metal detector.

A little tricky bringing things through, but I think I've got that figured out.

All the guards know me now, so no one really looks too close.

Once I'm inside, I can go anywhere I want.

Everything gets run from this one little central command console.

They've got fixed video systems in the elevators and in the hallways.

They've got a couple magnetic doors, but it's all very basic.

Lots of overtime.

Not so much now.

Now, the head janitor is this old guy, Danny. He loves Brian.

Loves him. I mean, I got this guy completely wrapped around my finger.

anything for me.

Most of the time he's got me working with him, kind of low -level shit, just

helping out. But I can get away from him plenty. I got all kinds of reasons.

I've sketched half the place already. I've copied a lot of keys.

I can get you access to basically any room in the place.

Where's the septum?

Well, see, that's the kink.

Now, get this.

It was arranged to be brought into the country inside the lake of an antique

piano. I mean, it was so simple.

And then they impounded it.

I mean, can you guess why?

Fucking bugs.

I mean, the whole shipment was contaminated with termites.

Asian longhorn beetles.

We got fucked by bugs.

These things burrow into the wood. So they were in the crates of most of the

shipments. So they took the goods out and delivered most of them. But the

is made of wood, too, so they impounded it.

They took the whole thing to put it in quarantine in a medium -security third

-floor lockup.

And they're really scared of these things, and they can't send them back to

France.

So they decide to burn everything.

I'll tell you.

I don't know which one of the fucking legs this thing is in. What happens is

can just grab them all and make a break for it right there. I mean, I don't know

if this thing's going to melt or what.

I mean, I was dying.

So, I had to improvise a little bit.

Uh -oh.

Uh -oh.

No, no, no.

I saw something in fire. It's burning. No, no, no.

Look, look, look. I saw...

Something in the piano.

In the piano, I saw a little... I thought I saw something.

What is it?

I saw everybody's freaking out. I mean, nobody knows what this is or what to do

with it. They don't see this kind of excitement down there.

They call some supervisor. They get him out of bed. He comes down. He takes one

look at this thing. He doesn't know what the hell it is, but he knows it's worth

a lot.

So he tells them until they can sort it out, put it in the box, put it in the

basement. And that's what they do. Don't worry. Don't worry.

I want to see, Danny.

No, no, no.

Can I see? No, come on. Let's go now. Okay. Bye -bye.

Bye.

The basement in the customs house, the most secure lockup in eastern Canada.

It was built as a bomb shelter during the Cold War. They put all their

stuff in here, state's evidence, narcotics, complicated weapons.

That scepter is in a safe somewhere in this room. But the thing is, there's no

cameras. If there was, I would have seen an angle on the video monitors.

So if we can put you inside that room, you can work on it all night.

Well, we're going to need pictures of the safe or a model number from their

files.

Then we're going to need plans, infrastructure maps, blueprints,

anything we can get our hands on. Yeah, yeah. That's all I got for now, but it

can be two days.

Then we just got to find a way to get into that basement.

You want to let it go? We're going to drive around fist all night.

Okay, we're about set up here. You all ready?

Hold on.

Want to give me a mark?

How you doing?

Copy that. 3 -3 -2 -6 -2 -9 -3 -2.

Now, make a right.

Proceed east about 20 yards.

See the next opening.

I'm at a wall here. Cinderblock Wall, where you told me that I have to go.

You sure about that? It shows a straight shot on here.

Well, it's not my imagination. I'm right here in front of it. You want to come

down here and see for yourself?

Right. Okay, okay. Hold on.

All right, just give me a second.

Can you read me?

Okay, make a left. Go about 20 feet.

You should run into a parallel tunnel.

Make a right. You'll be right back on course.

Take the tunnel about 150 yards due west.

You'll reach the T -junction. Tell me when you're there. About 300 yards.

Change it again. Later right.

Okay, head northwest.

Northeast. Check that. Northeast.

Just one second. Hold up.

You with me?

Going west. Going west.

All right, I'm going west. I'm on the circle. Make a right.

Go 40 yards.

Go ahead. Make a left turn. Left turn. Go about 10 to make a right. Head back

northeast.

Tell me the 500 yards to go.

Okay. Straight ahead 20 feet, and you should be dead under the room. The

will keep on going, but look up. You should see the access ladder.

I'm at a shaft. I'm going to climb up.

What are you doing?

Still climbing.

This looks like it.

You've got a utility crew all over the entrance.

I'm going to have to find another way out.

Where are you?

I'm at Telemontania in Ottawa.

Repeat, Telemontania in Ottawa.

Got it. We're on our way.

Yeah, this should be it right here.

Okay, we're here. I was trying to find you.

There. It's right over there.

Okay,

you're all clear.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's that kind of... Pardon me.

Excuse me. Yes, yes.

I need... How do you say it?

Ruben Seco.

Ruben Seco.

It's two rows over there, and then to the left.

Ah, thank you. Thank you.

Anybody home?

Hey, Champagne.

Nice touch.

Nice dress.

You like? Yeah. Thank you.

So, you asked me a question a couple of days ago.

And you gave it some serious thought.

Actually, I forgot the question.

Oh, God.

No, it was my answer.

Hey, you're not hooting up your glass.

Sorry.

My father was a lawyer, a very smart man.

And he would always say that...

A deal is only good if it leaves both parties feeling as if they gave up

something.

There's an answer coming soon because the glass is getting heavy.

Okay.

I will change my life.

I will move here.

I will love you.

And believe that this is the best decision that I've made.

But I will not move here if it means that one day I might have to talk to you

through glass. I won't move here if it means spending my nights worrying.

So, if you can promise me as of right now that you're through, then we

can drink to make a change.

I, uh...

I said you could drink now.

I know.

I want to do all that.

I just have to tell you that I've got to do one more thing, and that's that.

Everything you said is great. It's perfect. I just have one more thing I

do. I don't believe you put that out there when you knew you couldn't follow

through. I put it out there because I am following through. This is my last one.

I promise you. I promise you it is my last one. Then quit.

Quit now.

What does one last one mean? We don't need anything. Anything. I didn't need

anything before, and I don't need anything now.

But what I wanted was to be with you.

And what I didn't need was exactly this kind of painful bullshit. You see, my

life wasn't perfect before, but at least we were clear.

You got to give me some more.

Yeah.

See you on the stage.

The impact of the siren will disturb other conductors. We don't know their

reaction.

Hey, what are you doing?

Somebody put fingerprints on my window, Danny. You don't need to do it. It's

okay, it's okay. I like a clean window, Danny. It's all right.

You know, we missed you last night.

Are you feeling better?

Yes, thank you. Sure.

Yes, I'm okay, thank you, Danny. Take your time.

Okay, bye -bye. Bye -bye.

Bye -bye.

That's a safe.

Traeger standing jeweler's safe, this year's model.

If it's new, it's going to be tough to get the schematics.

I got all this year's books.

Really? Yeah. What else?

Okay, the system's ironclad security.

They're a big commercial industrial outfit. They handle a lot of the

buildings here.

The building's pretty old, you know. The lines are all over the place. They're

easy to find. I can cut in three or four different places and let you in from

there, but I got to have the engineering passcodes.

I've been looking. They don't keep them in here. They'll be at Ironclad.

I don't know what to do.

Okay.

What are you calling someone now?

Hey, Nick. I am bucked up. My mother's totally out of control.

Listen. Listen carefully.

Ironclad security.

Big outfit.

Yeah. I need engineering passcodes for the customs house.

I know, man. My concentration's shot. I haven't slept in like a month.

Wait. What customs house?

Montreal.

Ah, Nick.

You're not pissing in our own pool, man. You have always said you were never

going to do a job here in Montreal. I know. I know. Can you do it? Steven!

having a civil fucking conversation with a friend of mine, mother.

Are you okay?

She is a ghoul.

Now, tell me exactly what you want.

Okay, just one second. I'm going to put someone on who can tell you what we

need.

Just tell them what you need.

I need separate disarm and reset master codes for the whole system, and I need

individual sector bypass codes so I can cut down one zone without lighting off

the whole board.

Okay?

You got that?

Got it.

Listen, I'm going to need this within 48 hours. If you do that, I'll double your

last price.

Give me a tape row 64 and a live dial tone and I can do anything.

So now you are going to die.

This is the one you work with.

And you're giving me a hard time.

Come on.

You work here?

Yeah.

Come on.

Come on. Come on.

Want some coffee?

Uh, yeah.

Yeah.

Is this what we're dealing with?

Where can I get one of these?

You gotta know the right people.

Traeger floor safe.

Here it is.

Solid steel body.

Filled door with aluminum and cobalt.

Half -inch hard plate.

Double dial.

You're gonna need two, three hours to drill through that.

Can't drill this.

Why not?

Because this is a newer model and it's got these glass packs.

See the glass pack here?

Go through that. The glass breaks and those bolts spring into place.

You're fucked. They're locked.

Forget it. You can't break it with a bulldozer.

I mean, I've never seen anything like that. What do you have in mind?

I don't know, but if somebody built it, somebody can unbuild it.

Yeah, now see, when I shut this down, you'll see this light go off. Put up in

the booth, nothing will register.

Is that your box?

That's it.

That's a fucking monster. I mean, that's three times the size of this. Even

bigger than that.

See that over there?

See it better over here.

That's an active infrared post.

I don't know. That wasn't on the system specs.

I mean, that's got to be some independent loop they've set up just in

Yeah.

All right, calm down, okay?

Just, I'll be over in a few minutes.

I gotta take care of something, drop you off.

My mom's only out for about a half an hour.

What was the emergency?

Bottom line is, I was cruising around Ironclad Secure Server down at the root

COBOL level when someone counter -cracked me, hacked back into my

data. For three minutes, I was fully exposed. Now I have to firewall my whole

operations off from scratch.

Can you just tell me that in English?

Sorry.

I was a few keystrokes away from pulling up those engineering codes when I bump

into a guy on the other end. What's on the other end?

Ironclad's computers.

My guess is he's some low -level systems administrator. So we switch to a

private chat room, and he sends me this.

Can you believe that?

The guy comes into my world and calls me an asshole.

Steve, can you get me the bypass code? I type how much, and he types back

engineering codes for the customs house basement, and I say, you guessed it,

blues clues, and he says... Fuck you. And I say, no, no, fuck you. And he

no, fuck you. And I'm like, no, fuck you. And then he's like, no, fuck you.

you get me the bypass codes?

The guy wants $50 ,000 in exchange for the codes.

$50 ,000?

Yes.

Get the account number.

I'll wire the money and he'll deliver the codes through you.

Negative. The guy won't go for a transfer. He wants cash and he wants to

in person.

Anything else?

No. You set it up.

No, no, stay, stay. I'll let myself out.

And when this whole score is done, I'm going to brute this creep with

I got. By the time I'm done with this fuck, he won't be able to hide in

Jesus, look at all these people.

Who sets up a meeting in a public park?

You see him?

Let's go look at him.

Okay, I got him.

Hey, how you doing? How you doing? Good to see you. Good to see you. What's up?

Shake my hand. That's right.

You my guy?

Yeah.

Who's this?

Cousin.

Cousin?

Okay. See the guy over my left shoulder back there on the bench reading a paper?

The big one?

That's my cousin.

Okay?

We've all got family here, which is nice, I think. Yeah?

Okay.

I'll give you that. Take a look inside and make sure you're happy, all right?

No, don't take that out. Don't take that out. Hey, man.

Don't give me orders. I get orders all day, okay?

Can't count the money in a public place.

That's why you don't set a meeting on Park.

For future reference.

Put through it in the bag.

We're about set to go here. You ready?

What the fuck is that? What are you doing?

He's going to give me the numbers.

I'm going to read them into this mic to a friend of mine who's going to check

them out.

You think I was going to write it down on a cocktail napkin?

Okay. Ready?

Okay, you're on.

317.

317? Got it, 317.

317.

Confirm 317.

Just be a sec.

What do you guys think? Maternal cousins or what?

What?

First numbers are clean.

They're clean. They're clean.

You tell the hack at the other end of that wire he tries to get in my system

again, I will fry him, okay? Okay, why don't we worry about next time, next

time, okay? Let's get this done before people start looking at us.

Give me the second step.

9 -4 -6.

9 -4 -6.

9 -4 -6. Repeat, 9 -4 -6.

9 -4 -6.

Take it easy guys. Relax. Have a smoke. I don't smoke.

I don't smoke either. So good for us.

What are you guys local? You live around here? Why are you asking so many

fucking questions?

They're good.

Second set is good. Second set is good.

The third one.

Five, eight, three, nine.

Five, eight, three, nine.

Five, eight, three, nine.

Got it.

Five, eight, three, nine.

This is taking too long. I'm going to fucking lose it. Shut up, Eric.

They have to verify the numbers off the server. It takes some time.

Relax, Eric.

Can you help me out? It's turning into amateur hour out here. Fuck you,

What are you doing? He's got a gun. One of them has a gun.

That guy's got a gun.

Steven, how's it going? We're losing these guys. Come on. I'm working it,

Steven, want some lunch?

I'm on the phone, bitch.

You all right? We're fine. We're fine. Don't anybody move.

Eric, actually look at my hand right now.

If you take that eye, I'm going to take this out.

Be a big fucking mess.

Put it away, Eric.

There's kids all around, so what are you thinking?

Put it away.

Take a deep breath and just put it in your back pocket.

Move away.

They're all good.

Last set of numbers confirmed.

Last set of numbers confirmed. Let's get out of here.

Next time, don't bring a gun.

I thought I might need one, and I did. And now we've got the coat. Don't bring

gun.

I called. They said you hadn't checked in yet.

No.

So what time are you getting in?

Come on, honey. Don't stay at a hotel.

Come over to my place. I'll cook you something.

Yeah.

Yeah, no, I was just saying, come to my place. I'll cook something and then

we'll talk, okay?

I'm thinking about a place.

I'm waiting for the day when I will make my getaway.

Because as any fool can see, there's nothing here for me. But

hurry up, boy, bring that water. Don't do things you shouldn't ought to.

You got to be there.

Listen, tell me something. Tell me something.

All the years you've been doing this, what's the biggest gamble you ever took

a job?

You know, biggest long shot.

Oh, I don't take long shots.

Look, I know you're careful. You know, I'm careful, too. That's not what I

I mean, you know, when you were starting out, when you were just getting going,

you must have taken some flyers here and there and done something that was a

little wild. I'm just curious.

Never took long shots.

I'm going to say something to you.

You're smart, you're talented, you know a few things. But talent means nothing

in this game if you don't make the right choices.

There's plenty of talented people out there who never see the light of day

anymore. Last thing, take discipline.

Because this whole game is one big long shot. And if you don't have the

discipline to stay away from the flyers or from the gambles or whatever else you

want to call a stupid move, then, my friend, I'm afraid to say, one day you

go down.

It's inevitable.

You want my advice?

Make a list of everything you want now and then plan on spending the next 25

years of your life getting it slowly piece by piece

But

still

looking at you and you got all this already and you're still sitting here

me working with a partner in the city that you live in on a job that's gotten

more complicated than you thought it was going to be.

So I know you're still taking a shot at something.

I gotta go.

Your maintenance crews come in the tunnels by 6 a .m. I got to be back in

hole by 5 .30.

As soon as the guards leave, you got to tell me right away you can't be late.

I'm not worried about my end. I'm wondering how the hell you think you're

to break that safe in a half an hour.

You know, I mean...

Is that even possible?

Just physical.

How long is that going to take?

About 15 minutes tops.

15 minutes tops?

Mm -hmm.

Okay.

Okay.

So then if you are on the box by 5, then the prize goes in the bag by 5 .15.

You've got no problem at all. 5 .15, 5 .30, I'm back in the hole. You reset the

system. That's perfect.

I'll pack up my shit.

I can meet you here. We can go to Max. Or I can meet you straight at Max. We're

not going to meet back here.

I'll meet you at Max's, then.

No, no.

You'll finish out your shift.

I go to Max. He does his thing. He pays us off. We never see each other again.

No, forget it. Just forget it. I'm going to come with you to Max's. We'll

deliver it together.

Why not? No, I'm telling you.

Listen, I've done this down to the last detail.

Don't put me on the sideline when it's time to collect. Don't do it. Listen to

me. Listen to me.

You do anything out of the ordinary, you're going to get made. Do you

that? Be smart. Finish out your shift.

You're the boss.

Okay.

Steven got these from a supplier. That throwaway is totally untraceable.

People are talking.

They say Max is in trouble with Teddy Salida and he's pulling off a big job to

get rid of him.

That's what they say?

Maybe you should walk away from us.

Max?

What are you doing down here?

Jesus Christ, that scared the shit out of me.

What the hell are you doing down here?

Did you involve Lieutenant Salida in this?

What? Lieutenant Salida?

Yeah.

Why would you say that?

I see these guys outside.

They look like they might be with him.

How much you into him for?

Four million.

Okay. How do you think I got all this? They gave it to me in the house in

Bermuda? What's the matter with you?

What do you know?

About what?

About what we're doing.

Nothing. I told him I found something that would go for eight, and we split

profits.

What are you actually selling the scepter for, Max?

Thirty million dollars.

Jesus.

Max, what were you thinking?

What do you mean, what was I thinking? The same thing you were thinking. How

we going to get out from under all this bullshit we've been living? The chance

came. Took it.

It's going to work out fine.

No, it's not.

What do you mean, it's not? It's not. It's a myth.

It's not going to work. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a fucking minute.

This is absolutely clean, Nick.

What are you worried about? Jesus Christ, it's my ass on the line anyway.

not yours. I'm not taking the biggest gamble of my life so I can hand my money

over to Teddy Toledo.

You think you're not going to get your fucking money?

Look, there's two things you've got to know.

One is you're going to get every fucking red cent.

And yeah, Teddy knows a little. He knows.

He knows a little, I said.

Yeah, so you did lie.

Yeah, lied, lied, you lied. Shit happens, man. Christ almighty.

I lied for you and I lied for me. I had to say something to get you to suit up

like always.

Max.

I'm sorry, but I'm not going to do it.

Nick.

It's a tiny door.

Open the door. Take this shit. Close the door. We're out.

There's too much bullshit around it.

What's that?

The wire.

Real simple.

You call them when you get the symptom.

They'll meet you at the airstrip 30 miles up to St. Louis.

There's a little town called St. Croix.

You give me a scepter, he gives you the cash, you take your cut and you wire me

the rest.

I'll give Teddy his and you're clean.

It's too risky.

Yeah.

You don't know what you're doing.

You don't know how long we go back.

Huh?

25 years.

I'm going to tell you something.

For the first time in my life, I'm scared.

I don't know why it is. I was never scared before, but I'm scared now.

And you're right about that. He's going to blow me away, man, if he can.

If I don't get him his money, he... Hey.

Don't, don't, don't. Don't let me slide on this one.

I can't afford it, man.

I can't scrap it out anymore.

I've got to have some slack.

All right.

Okay.

I hope you're not fucking me up, okay?

Hey, Nick.

Nicky.

How much more equipment you got? Here you go.

Sorry,

sorry, sorry. Don't be, Brian. Come on in, come on in. Don't mind the radio.

What's all the commotion?

Don't worry, Danny. There's beefing things up downstairs.

What for?

Just a few cameras in the basement.

Yeah, like we're going to lose it, right? Lose what?

You know that thing we found on the piano lane? The big gold thing? Yeah,

it turns out it's some sort of French national treasure. It's called a septic.

Yeah, some expert's got a look, a picture.

Now we're getting calls from the central office.

Hey, it's me.

Yeah, we got a problem.

They got a camera over the main door here covering that. They got a camera

right across the middle.

They got one special just on the box.

See this entire cage.

This camera over there looking at the box.

How high is it from the floor and how low is it from the ceiling?

Probably 10, 12 feet up off the floor, 4 feet down from the ceiling.

What the fuck?

Hold on a second.

When I'm here, you'll cut the feed when I get across here and you'll restore it.

When I'm ready here, you'll cut it again and I'll go to work here.

They know what it is and now they're going to move it as soon as they can.

not going to get another chance like this. We've got to go now or we don't go

all.

Hi there. Hi.

Hi, Henry.

Hi, Brian.

Okay, thank you. No problem.

Hi, Danny.

Hello, Brian.

Oh, look at you with fancy new shoes.

Yeah.

You know, my mom got those for me.

Oh, your mom gave you those?

I think you got a girl. No, no girl, Danny. You're a stinker.

Well, you and your new shoes can give me a hand up. At six tonight, we're going

to wax the whole cafeteria floor. Okay.

You hit the garbage. I get the stuff. I meet you there, what, 15 minutes? 15,

okay.

Okay, I'll get the garbage, Danny.

Okay.

Bye -bye.

Andre. Bye -bye. Look good with those shoes.

Yeah, thanks. I know.

Why don't you step out there, Brian?

I will. Thank you.

Okay. Okay, Danny.

Guess what time it is.

I don't know. Yes, you do, Danny. It's lunchtime.

I tell you what.

What do you say we keep on working? Finish the other side.

What? No, Danny, why?

Then we can blow off the rest of the day and grab some pancakes.

It won't take us long. Just throw a little extra thinner into the mix. It'll

like butter.

Danny. It's okay.

I'm up and up. I will get some more. You don't need to.

I will get some more. All right. You know where the ground floor?

Okay. You know the closet?

I'm on. Are you there?

I'm here. We're running late. I know. I had a snack.

I'm already all set up, though. Just give me one second.

All right, I just got a bunch in these coats.

Just sit tight.

I got it.

Hang on one more beat.

It's clear. Get in there.

inside the first cage.

You're all clear.

I'm set. Kill it.

All right. On my mark.

Hey.

Go.

There we go.

Perfect. Tell me when you're in the second position.

Thank you.

Bye.

How you doing down there?

Almost there.

Do you know where's Brian?

No idea.

Uh, I need a second here. Hold on.

I'm all set. Cut the cameras.

Repeat. I'm all set. Cut the cameras.

It's too late. It's too late. I'm pulling out. No, it's not. We're good.

good. Get ready to go.

The hell's wrong with you, Michelle?

Hey, hey, hey, stop banging on it.

Check the connection.

Something? I don't know.

Call Dan.

Call her and Glenn.

And look like it is. I don't care. Call Dan.

Well, maybe it's some of the equipment down in the basement.

Okay. Thanks.

Someone will be here in a few minutes.

Riot!

Where are you, kid?

Make a move, make a sound, and you are dead. Do you understand me?

Turn around.

Brian! Shh, shh, shh.

Be quiet.

Danny.

Danny.

I wish he had not come down here, man.

Get over there.

Turn around. Come on.

Let's go.

Turn around.

Walk over there.

Open the door.

Open it.

Get inside.

Look at me.

You're a good man. I don't want to hurt you.

But if you start making noise or you try to open that fucking door, I will do

it. Do you understand me?

Stay in there and be quiet.

Everything will be fine.

I don't want to wait.

I want you and Tommy to go in the basement now.

Come on, Andre, I'm watching.

Laurent, please.

Tommy, get Felipe. We're going to be checking out the basement again.

Hold it right there.

Are you crazy? What are you doing? Take it off and put it down, Nick. Oh, come

on. Take it off and put it down right now.

Don't do it. Take it off and put it on the fucking floor.

Please. Don't fucking argue with me. Take it off and put it down.

I can't. I can't.

Put the next one in your knee, Nick. I don't have time to fuck around.

We can work out the details later. I am leaving with that scepter.

Now take it off and hand it over right now.

Put it down.

Slowly.

Now step back.

Back up.

Take off your mask.

Take it off.

I don't have time to play games. Take it off.

Throw it over there.

Step in the middle.

Step in the middle.

That's right.

You know, we wouldn't have to be standing here if you'd just thrown a

respect my way right at the beginning.

Just a little bit. This is a stupid move.

It is? Why? We all come out ahead. What are you doing?

Yeah, that's a long shot. I know. I should play it tight. You know what I

of your bullshit advice? I think that's you trying to talk me into taking a

sucker's share on a score that I set up from the beginning.

Do you think I'm fucking stupid? Do you think I don't see what you and Max are

doing?

I mean, what has he given you?

Five, six million?

Tell me that's not true.

See, that doesn't work for me.

I appreciate your help, but you should have made me a partner, you know?

Now I got to take a shot.

Just sit tight. Just sit tight. Everything will be fine.

Now you got a choice.

You can either head for that tunnel or smile for that camera.

Andre, what happened?

Get down! Go to the basement!

We're being robbed!

We're being robbed!

Andre!

Go outside!

Wait for the police!

Yep. Hey, did you make it?

Fuck you.

Come on, I'm just checking to make sure you got out okay. I knew you'd give him

the slip.

I'm almost home too here, by the way.

Well, you are, huh? You sure about that?

Oh, look, look. Whatever you're thinking about, whatever you're trying, just

forget it, okay? This is over now, and you've got to deal with it. It's not

yet, because you don't know where you're going, asshole, and I do know where

you're going. You don't know... You know where you're going?

No shit. I'm like five minutes from being so far gone, you're not even going

be able to imagine the places I'm going, okay?

You're going nowhere because you've got nothing.

You know what I got. You just can't deal with the fact that I beat you. Oh,

yeah? What have you got?

Huh? What have you got?

You know what I've got.

Let me ask you something, Jack. When did you start thinking you were better than

me? Huh?

You still there, Ace?

Okay.

Nicely done.

Nicely done.

Now let's talk about this.

Okay, let's see. How'd you put it? Deal with it? It's over?

No, no, no. I don't think so. You want me to list the ways I can burn you? We

either work this out right now or I will take you down. Oh, yeah? How?

My shop, my tools, they're gone. Me, my friend, I'm just a tax -paying jazz club

owner. You, every cop in the city is going to be looking for you right about

now.

So if I were you, I'd quit making threats and hit the road.

Nice working with you, Hayes.

Okay, bye -bye.

Montreal was stung by the daring pre -dawn robbery of the old city's historic

customs house.

A priceless scepter was stolen.

A senior night janitor identified this man as the prime suspect in the

He was spotted leaving the scene moments after the robbery.

He's now the focus of a massive manhunt. A second suspect vanished from the

scene without a trace.

Police have no solid lead.
