[Woman Singing In Malaysian]

[Phone Rings]

Greene: Hello?

Ming, turn that stinking music down!

Oh, it's you! Ha ha ha.

Where's my painting? I want my painting.

In the mail. Well, that's original.

I have to say

I'm astonished that you could do it.

The climb.

All that schlepping at your tender age.

Anyway, bad news.

The price for the goggles went up.

Rembrandt's not gonna cover my expenses.

Mm-hmm.

Under the circumstances,

40 million would be a bargain.

I don't care how you get it,

just make sure that you get it fast.

Tick-tock, tick-tock.

[Beep]

Woman: We're very sorry.

Good morning, Mr. Cruz.

Good morning.

So how's it look?

First you insure the art, only to watch it get clipped

a month after the client buys it.

Well, it, uh,

could become part of our ad campaign.

I'll remember that when I go upstairs

to hear about my new position in the Toledo branch office.

I called you at 4:30 this morning.

I was home in bed.

You didn't pick up.

I didn't want to pick up.

You had company.

He came in the window.

How romantic.

I think that's how he got in.

This was 70 stories up

with smart-glass windows at 400 pounds a pop.

He rigged something.

And I think it was...

telescoping bolts.

And you know this how?

Excuse me.

[Speaking In Chinese]

You're showin' off again.

"Let a thousand flowers bloom." Chairman-

Chairman Mao.

You got it.

He left the window open when he came in.

The draft blew over the flowers.

Scope the bolts on that window.

I bet you'll find fresh scratches on them.

And who do we like for this?

Guess.

Oh, gee. I wonder.

Indulge me.

Indulge you?

Bob, may I?

Oh, yeah, sure.

Go ahead.

Gin: 4 weeks ago

when our client bought the Rembrandt.

Cruz: Mm-hmm.

See anyone we know?

No.

Nope, and neither did anyone else.

[Keystrokes]

Now look again.

You think he marked the buyer

at the auction house.

Right.

Good work, Bob.

And let's not forget the calling card.

Elvis has not left the building.

This is classic Mac, Hector.

You know, in the 5 years that I have known you,

you have liked MacDougal

for over half the cases that we have worked.

He's the best.

He's also 60 years old.

He ain't Spiderman anymore.

He's a wealthy guy.

He doesn't have to steal a Rembrandt.

You think this guy steals because he has to?

Keep working.

So you get in here at 7:00 in the morning,

you work until 10:00,

you have lunch in the park by yourself,

you don't have any friends at the office-

Wow, you have been paying attention.

I'm worried about you.

Maybe I like being alone.

Maybe I'm getting over someone.

Well, they say, "Nothing gets you over the last one

like the next one."

Is this your way of asking me out, Hector?

Huh?

Well, urn...

not if you're going to say no.

You may be right.

He was here this week.

He flew back to London this morning?

I think it might be worth our while

to send someone there to see what he's up to.

[Chuckles]

I know this guy.

- Do you? - Sure.

You know, some years back,

when I was still at the bureau,

we sent a couple of guys after him.

I know, I know.

They disappeared. I know the story.

And these were both good agents.

They were both men.

What do you have in mind for bait?

The one thing I know he wants.

Why not the Mona Lisa?

Our guy likes a challenge.

Come on.

I want this back.

Thank you, sir.

[Alarm Sounding]

[Siren]

God.

Shit.

[Creak]

[Gasps]

Rule number one: Never carry a gun.

You carry a gun, you might be tempted to use it.

What are you doing here?

I'm gonna ask you some questions,

and if I don't like your answers,

you're going out the window.

Why are you following me?

I've got a proposition for you.

How do I know that you're not a cop?

I don't know. You're just gonna have to trust me.

Rule number 2:

Never trust a naked woman.

I have nothing to sleep in. Somebody stole my luggage.

Really? I'm shocked.

It's amazing what's getting stolen these days.

Your bags-

That Rembrandt.

Mm.

Indeed, that Rembrandt.

And this is your proposition?

Yep.

I don't think it's for sale.

It's not. I'm gonna steal it.

From Bedford Palace?

It's rather well guarded.

By, among other things, its own random access security code,

changed daily, to which I have the key.

Well, good for you.

But I need your help.

I can't get in and out.

I've already got a buyer

who's gonna give me 40 million for it.

I have absolutely no reason

to believe a word that you've told me.

But you want to.

Why is that?

Because you want the mask.

Mm.

First we try,

then we trust.

Meaning what?

Meaning meet me outside the hotel,

9 a.m., tomorrow morning.

Preferably dressed.

But how do I know you'll be there?

If I tell you I'll be there, I'll be there. And I'm never late.

- Not ever? - Never.

If I'm late...

it's because I'm dead.

Whose hotel, yours or mine?

Mac?

Mac?

[Sighs]

Now, here we are.

You go straight in there and ask for Haas.

Haas?

Mm, a lovely fellow. Very low-key.

You tell him you want to buy a Qing vase.

The price is £200.000

which, of course, you're not about to pay.

Well, why not?

Because you're going to steal it.

You are a thief, aren't you?

You take this card, which is fake.

As he goes through the back to swipe it,

you swipe the vase.

Ok.

Enjoy. I'll be waiting.

- Ooh, sorry! - Ooh!

[Chimes On Door Sounding]

[Toilet Flushes]

Hello.

Hi.

I'm here for the Qing vase.

I don't know you.

That's because we never met before.

Mac sent me.

Where's the money?

Where's the vase?

Ok, show me the real one.

Trust me, babe.

This is better than a real one.

200,000.

What's that?

It's a credit card.

Yeah, and?

I need the miles.

What exactly do you think this is...

Harrods?

No. I've never seen rats at Harrods.

You like a joke, don't you?

Sure.

How funny is this?

I'm sorry. I think I made

a terrible mistake about the vase.

Too right.

Uh. Yeah, I did.

[Dialing]

Time's running out.

You can still escape if you're quick.

Now listen...

Where's the vase?

- I broke it. - What?

I'm sorry. Aah!

Oh, God.

God bless.

The man came at me with a knife.

What was I supposed to do?

You were supposed to get the damn vase.

It was a cheap Victorian knockoff.

You wouldn't have wanted it anyway.

You missed the point of the entire exercise.

No, I didn't.

Oh. Good.

[Chuckles]

Good girl.

Give it to me.

What is it?

Give it to me!

What is it?!

Bedford Palace.

The complete plans,

security system, soup to nuts.

[Band Playing Christmas Music]

[Sighs]

Man, look what you've done

to this beautiful car.

Yeah. Thank God it's not mine.

Here, some clothes.

Where are we going?

These are my clothes.

Yes, you have some nice things.

It was you? You stole my luggage?

I'm a thief. So sue me.

And where are we going?

Up.

Mac, where is my suitcase?

It's with hotel security.

With what?

But why?

There was a robbery yesterday at Cryptonic,

and someone stole 5 prototype superchips

that are worth $4 million each.

And one of these chips is inside your suitcase.

With hotel security.

Yes. And one anonymous phone call, from me,

uh, plus the photos-

What photos?

Oh, yes.

These.

Ooh. Who took-

Hey!

This is entrapment.

What?

I said this is called entrapment.

No. Actually it's called blackmail.

Entrapment...

is what cops do to thieves.

You coming?

Almost there.

No lock? No security?

You're not casing the joint already, are you?

This way.

Oh, wow.

Shall we?

Oh, my God.

Ohh.

This is quite a collection.

Thank you.

Only contemporary art?

You sound surprised.

No, it's just not what I expected.

I mean, where are the suits of armor

and the crossed swords?

Up in the attic.

Whiskey?

Sure. I'd love one.

Wow.

[Chuckles]

Is all this paid for?

With blood.

Cheers.

To the mask.

I'll show you to your room.

Who else do you bring here?

No one.

That's sad.

Why?

Well, to have something like this

and not share it with anyone.

I don't need to share it with anyone.

Most people buy art just to show it off.

I collect art for me.

Your room's this way.

Ahh.

Good night, then.

But it's still early.

Yes, we have an early start.

But I'm not tired.

[Chuckles]

Where do you sleep?

Why?

Just in case I need anything.

May I ask you something?

Sure.

Has there ever been anyone

you couldn't manipulate, beguile, or seduce?

No.

Why? Do I make you uneasy, Mac?

No. No, not at all.

In fact, I think now might be a good time

for you and I to, uh... discuss something.

Well, what do you have in mind?

Uh... the rules.

- Oh. - Mm-hmm.

Ok.

In order for there to be complete trust

between thieves,

there can be nothing personal.

A job is a job.

You do your part, I do mine.

If one of us is thinking about something

other than the task at hand,

we'll either both get caught

or both get dead.

Good night again.

[Bird Crying]

Mac: No.

Nope.

No.

No.

No.

Nope.

That's the way in.

That's the lake.

Yes, I know it's the lake, dear.

The first duke dug a tunnel

as a back door for his mistress.

Hundred years later, they flooded the place.

Ok, so we go underwater.

I go underwater, I steal the mask.

You get a finder's fee of 10%.

But I have the code to the mask case, dear.

Which you're now going to give to me.

No.

Have you been wasting my time?

Have you been wasting mine?

I'll arrange your return to London.

I'm not who you think I am, Mac.

I hope not, for your sake.

I'm a thief.

So you keep telling me.

I stole the Rembrandt.

Mac, I stole the Rembrandt.

And I painted the Sistine Chapel.

Oh, come on. Ask me how I did it.

So how did you do it?

I came in from the roof,

I dropped 20 floors down on a McNeal descender.

You must be a hell of a climber.

I am.

Hmm?

I am a hell of a climber.

I am...

one...

hell of a climber.

But how did you get it out of there?

[Pants]

Now, that...

is the most...

beautiful part.

I mailed it.

No.

I put it down their own mail chute.

Simple...

effective...

safe.

That's very clever.

Nope.

Not clever.

[Exhales]

It was perfect.

Absolutely unbelievable.

You're right.

It is beautiful.

Mm.

Did you know that Rembrandt

lived with his parents well into his forties?

But of course you'd know that.

You're perfect.

H-How did you get that?

Well, why rob the penthouse

when the mailroom's on the ground floor?

How did you know I took it?

Well, there's only a handful of people

who can make the equipment you used.

And I know all of them.

Someone was expecting that.

Yeah, obviously.

Mr. Conrad Greene of Kuala Lumpur.

Oh, God.

What was it, a down payment?

A service this Mr. Greene is providing?

Yeah, something like that.

What could you possibly want to steal

in Malaysia?

Hmm?

A hundred million dollars.

What's the job?

Like the wise man said...

"First we try, then we trust."

Mac: Ah, good morning.

Want to tell me why my jaguar

looks like you drove it off a fuckin' cliff?

Thibadeaux, I'm awfully sorry.

You owe me 140 Gs.

Well, how about a $40 million Chinese mask instead?

Is it turbocharged with a 6-CD changer?

Did you get everything I need?

We done with this, you buying me a new car.

Agreed.

Did you get the small pneumatics?

What'd you ask for?

Yeah, I got the small pneumatics.

You got to be a damn elf to use one of them things.

And the get cord?

Yeah. It's in the van.

Now, look, man, that's some nasty shit.

You don't wanna be mixin' it with nothin' else,

unless you wanna be all over the floor bumpin' into yourself.

What the hell's this?

I.R. thermo camera, what you asked for.

I specifically said no liquid plasma screen.

Well, that was specifically all I could get.

Well, how am I supposed to do this

without the right tools?

Look, Mac, come on, give me a break, man.

What do you think this is? You give me a list,

I go to K-mart and get this shit?

You'll figure out something. You always do.

Uh. Yeah.

Where's the honey?

In the loch, training.

I told her I swim for an hour every day,

so she'll do it for 2.

So when is it we do the dirty?

Maybe we should wait a bit.

She's got a bigger job after this one.

This is big enough, man.

It's never big enough.

You are keeping this strictly business,

right, Mac?

Strictly.

Have you ever bought a woman's dress?

It's for the job. For her.

I don't know her size.

Well, by the looks of her, I'd say she's probably a 6,

but she'd look real fine you put her in a 4.

I used to have this girl named Tina.

She used to say that the dress made the woman.

I say, "Oh, no, baby.

It's the woman makes the dress."

That's a lovely story. Ha.

But could you get the dress?

Mac, you too old for this shit.

This mask thing better be worth it.

Oh, it is.

I'm sayin' it better be worth it for me.

Mac: Our gear has arrived.

Who brought it?

Delivery man.

What, you just order that kind of stuff from a catalog?

No. I just order it from someone I trust implicitly.

There's lots more, if you're not too tired.

Left a bit.

Left a bit.

- Right here. - What is it?

It's 15.

Good. Now...

Uhh.

Straight back. Straight back.

Go on, take it out. Back.

There you go. There.

Yeah. Straight back now.

Keep it taut. Taut.

There. That's it.

Ah, finally.

Good. Well done.

[Beep]

3...

2...

one.

5 decibels.

Still too loud.

Set?

One and...

Bang.

2 and...

Bang.

3 and...

Bang.

4 and...

Oh, yeah. Bang.

The bangs must come with the chimes of the clock.

Ok. I forgot. I forgot.

All right, again.

Mac: Keep your knees together.

Down, down. Tuck.

I'll watch the mask.

You keep your mind on your movement.

Uh, reach.

No, no, no.

These are lasers, hmm?

I am your eyes,

so you keep yours closed,

because you can't see.

But I'll be watching every move

on our screen.

Come on, move it.

You've got 3 minutes until the guard gets here.

Up. Good.

Better. Left leg. Left.

There you-

I need a break.

You'll get a break when you get it right.

Number one!

2 and...

Bang.

- 3 and... - Bang.

- 4 and... - Bang.

5 and inflate.

Well, what's this?

It's supposed to be one second, hmm?

You're supposed to open the valve full there.

I did open it full.

Look, you can see it's open.

All right, very well. I'll rectify it later.

6.

Lever.

7. Drop.

8?

Deflate.

Well done.

I did open it full, ok?

You can go over there and check.

[Tool Clatters]

Come on.

[Sighs]

Here.

There.

This is where I'm going to enter the room.

Then I'm gonna come up through the first beam.

This is the hardest part.

Wait. I'm just going to...

you see? Right here.

And once I get under the first beam,

I'm going to be fine,

so just don't worry about me, ok?

Once I have this on the computer,

I can visualize it.

I can do this blindfolded now.

Mac: Really?

Is this absolutely necessary?

Yes...

because you won't be able to see them, and I will.

And you will. Right.

Trust me.

[Bells Ring]

We're ready.

I'll tell you when we're ready.

You forgot the damn pressure switch, didn't you?

Jesus, you just can't help it, can you?

Help what?

Being such a nasty son of a bitch.

This is how it has to be,

but if you can't deal with it-

Hey, Mac, bullshit.

You know what?

I think you're afraid to be nice to me.

[Door Slams]

Bastard.

[Soft Music Playing]

Merry Christmas.

For me?

Well, it's certainly not for me.

Open it.

I thought you were probably a 6,

but would look very nice as a 4.

It's beautiful.

But?

Believe it or not,

no one's ever bought me a dress before.

Well, it comes out of your share.

I didn't get you anything.

Not necessary.

No, no, I want to.

I won't be long.

I'll be waiting.

[Door Closes]

[Telephone Line Ringing]

Woman: Waverly Insurance.

Hi. This is Virginia Baker.

Hector Cruz on a secure line, please.

Was it my imagination,

or didn't I say something about

checking in everyday?

I'm sorry, Hector,

but I can't exactly just pick up my cell phone here.

I've been worried about you. Where are you?

I'm staying with Mac at his castle.

Well, spare me the details.

Did he take the bait?

Oh, yeah. Big time.

And he's got the Rembrandt.

Well, tilt bingo jackpot.

You want to pick him up now?

Well, we've got him for possession,

we've got him for conspiracy-

Yeah, but I can catch him with his hand in the till.

That's grand larceny - 25 years to life.

You think you're still up to that?

Hector, I know so.

So give me the how and the when.

Look, I'll call you as soon as I know, ok?

Is that a promise?

Of course it's a promise.

Look, I got to go.

Ok, just wait a second.

I got to go.

[Dial Tone]

Hello?

[Wind Blowing]

Mac?

Mac?

Mac?

Mac?

Mac?

Aah! Oh, God.

Did you find what you were looking for?

God, you scared me.

Oh, you know what they say about fear.

The only remedy is to cut off the head.

Really?

Mmm.

Beautiful view, isn't it?

It helps me to see things more clearly.

You know, I never come up here

without dropping something off.

Go ahead, then.

We'll leave in 2 hours.

[Bird Caws]

Gin!

Well?

Well...

you're the most beautiful crook I've ever seen.

Why, thank you, kind sir.

So I'll recognize you.

I wouldn't want to go home with the wrong man

by mistake now, would I?

It is a masked ball.

We all go as someone else.

Man: Waiter, could we have some more champagne?

[Big Band Music Playing]

10:30 in...

3...

2...

one.

Now.

[Beep]

I think we should pay our respects

to the guest of honor.

Shall we?

Mac: 1, 2, 3,

4, 5.

Uh-huh.

North.

1, 2, 3.

[Hums]

Oh, here we are.

Oh.

[Beeping Faintly]

[Both Laugh]

[Beeping]

[Beeping Faster]

[Beeping Stops]

[Radio Playing Music]

15 seconds.

Mac: Going hot.

[Radio Playing Music]

7, 6...

5...

4...

3...

2...

one.

And one.

[Clock Chimes, Muffled Explosion]

[Radio Playing Music]

And 2.

[Clock Chimes, Muffled Explosion]

And 3.

[Turns Off Radio]

And 4.

Mac: And 5.

Gin: 6.

And 7.

And 8.

[Clock Chimes]

- More air. - 9.

[Clock Chimes]

- More. - 10.

More.

11.

- It's too loud. - More!

[Clock Chimes]

[Inflates]

[Beeps]

Ok.

Up.

Hmm.

Good.

You've got 3 minutes on the guard.

Balance.

One point.

Now lift.

[Beeps]

2 minutes on the guard.

Mac: Lift.

Extend.

Now turn.

Up a little more.

Now bend the knee.

75 seconds.

[Beeps]

Mac: Freeze.

You're blocking the beam.

I can't see it.

Got it covered.

Clever girl.

Mac: Now remember the damn pressure switch.

Ah.

[Scrapes]

Good girl.

Gin: Mmm.

Mac: 35 seconds.

Gin: Preparing pressure-switch

neutralization device.

Now get out of there fast.

[Beeps]

[Alarm Sounds]

Guard: Come on! Come on!

Move it! Move it!

Ha ha!

Unbelievable!

[Siren In Distance]

- Let me have the mask. - There he is.

Ohh. Heh hen.

[Laughs]

Now this is where we play "truth or dare?"

What?

First we start with truth, huh?

You work for Hector Cruz at Waverly Insurance.

[Gasps]

And now...

I dare you to lie to me.

I don't know what you're talking about.

What?

[Coughs]

The job was a cover. That's how I got the code.

No, no, no. You're playing both sides.

You're going to sell the mask to Conrad Greene

and then turn me in.

No, no. I need you for the job.

There is no other job!

There is!

It's worth over-

And don't tell me it's worth 100 million.

It's not. It's- You're right. It's not.

It's worth over a billion.

[Gasps]

And that's just your share.

I'm not lying.

I can't do this job without you, Mac.

Please come with me to Kuala Lumpur.

[Sighs]

Can you just decide soon, please?

Mac: 4, 3,

2, 1.

Your time's up.

You said you would tell me what the next job is

in 24 hours.

It's a bank.

And?

And I didn't say I'd tell you any more.

Isn't it beautiful here?

[Honking Horn]

Banks have never really been my thing.

Think a billion dollars will change your mind?

I just don't like surprises.

Trust me. There won't be any.

Huh? Trust me...

there always are surprises.

I must say, it's, uh...

very homey.

- Gin: Why, thank you. - Hmm.

Of course, when I said bank...

I didn't mean just any bank.

A room with a view.

I give you the world's tallest building, and-

And we're going to steal it?

And home of...

the International Clearance Bank,

which I'm sure you already know

controls virtually all big money transactions

in Southeast Asia.

Do I have your attention now?

Undivided.

Gin: Here,

the headquarters

of the International Clearance Bank

in New York.

Running from there are hackproof, firewalled,

dedicated lines

to computers in its branch offices

around the world.

The only access is from central control in New York

or from the totally secure computers

in the local branch offices.

In Kuala Lumpur,

only one man has unlimited access -

Lee Kuan Hong,

chairman of the International Clearance Bank

of Kuala Lumpur.

The vaults are accessed by 2 things-

A key code

and a completely unfakeable retinal scan...

Morning, everyone. Nice day, huh?

Aah!

Which we're gonna fake.

Gin: Right now, our chairman with a face full of mace

is getting his eyes checked-

With a little help

from Conrad Greene's guys, hopefully.

[Beeping]

Gin: With me so far?

- All the way. - Good.

Now, because of the millennium bug,

our nervous friends at International Clearance

are going to run a series of integrity tests.

Which they are rehearsing even as we speak.

ICB director: Prepare test shutdown for Sydney in...

Gin: Just before midnight, local time,

they're going to shut down the mainframe in each zone

for 30 seconds.

Sydney is shut down.

Run test program.

Now, we need those 30 seconds to patch into the mainframe.

We then need 10 seconds of one-on-one time

with the computer to download "the stuff."

And how do we acquire those 10 seconds?

We steal 'em.

The transmitter I left behind

simply overrides the signal of the atomic clock.

So, from 11 p.m. tomorrow night,

their clocks gain a fraction of a second every minute

and we gain our 10 seconds.

And what is this "stuff we are downloading?

Enya?

Cunningly disguised in there

is a disc that took me 5 years to make,

cooped up in my broom closet at Waverly Insurance.

It tells the ICB computer to transfer

relatively small amounts of money

from hundreds of corporations

all over Southeast Asia into my account.

Our account.

Yeah, our account.

$8 billion in total.

You said one billion.

Mm-mm.

I said that was your share.

What can you do with 7 billion

that you can't do with 4?

Hold the record...

alone.

Sounds rather lonely.

Alone?

No. Alone is good.

You want a beer?

Thank you.

We'll need 3 weeks to prepare.

What?

Minimum.

No. It has to be tomorrow night.

Uh-uh. No way.

No, you don't understand.

It has to be millennium midnight or it's never.

Then it's never. It's impossible.

You-

Ok. 50-50.

What?

You heard.

It's impossible...

but doable.

[Service Lift Beeping]

[Shutter Clicks]

Guide: So, ladies and gentlemen,

we are now standing over 700 feet above sea level.

Our skybridge is the longest and highest in the world,

and it stretches over 300 feet to the opposite tower.

It is supported, as you can see,

by 4 flexible steel pillars.

The lights are being hung

for our millennium party tomorrow.

Over 40,000 light bulbs will make this truly

a sight to remember.

[Faint Siren]

[Sighs]

[Sighs]

[Camera Clicking]

So... what have we here?

We have the goggles with the chairman's retinal scan,

and we have the chairman's access card to the 86th floor...

[Clank]

In the bag.

Is there anything else I need to know?

Confucius, he say,

"Don't use cannon to kill mosquito."

Uh, right.

Well, now that I've shown you mine,

it's your turn to show me yours.

Well, here she is.

Oh, goody, goody, goody.

Bring it to papa.

Oh...

a thing of beauty, huh?

A joy forever.

Where's the mask? I want my mask, come on.

Ha ha! Oh.

So you're working with MacDougal on this, huh?

Yeah.

Uh-huh.

Uh-huh. Know what I would suggest?

I suggest you have a little tete-a-tete with your partner.

If he's still in the country.

In the meantime,

I'm gonna hold onto the access card

and the goggles.

Conrad, you've got to believe me,

I had no idea!

I swear to God, I would never do this to you!

Don't pout at me, you little bitch!

Come on, Conrad.

Get out! Get out!

Go! Just get out!

Get out of here!

Baby, I'm glad to see you.

I'm calling it off.

Here, you take this.

I'll get the Rembrandt for you later.

Slow down, Mac. What you saying?

She's over her head. It's not going to happen.

What about this other big, giant, huge job

you were all cute about in Scotland, hmm?

You wouldn't be trying to cut a brother out?

There's nothing to cut you out of.

Sit down, Mac.

Sit down.

I said, sit the fuck down.

You know, Mac...

I think it's time

to take your girlfriend out of the equation

and get down to the "you and me" of it all.

She's not my girlfriend.

[Chuckles]

See, Mac, I've been getting this Yoko vibe,

like all of a sudden

your girlfriend's the one in control.

Now, you change partners, you change the rules.

And the rules are, Mac does the job,

I watch Mac's back.

You don't call off nothin' unless I say so.

Gin?

Gin?

Unh!

Aah! Where is it, you bastard?

I trusted you!

Bastard! I trusted you!

I trusted you! Where is it?!

[Mac Groans]

Why'd you take it?

Get up. I know you're faking it.

Aah!

[Gin Sobbing]

Where'd you go?

Why'd you take it?

I was going to sell it.

Then why didn't you?

Because I couldn't do it.

Why not?

[Sighs]

I knew if I told you to forget this job

and get the hell out of here,

you wouldn't do it, would you? Hmm?

No.

Right.

Were you worried about me, Mac?

Why, yes.

Were you?

I was worried about both of us.

Don't be.

Hmm.

Oops. Sorry.

Forgot about the rules.

Oh.

Have you ever broken them, Mac?

No.

Not once?

Nope.

Never?

Never.

Alone is good, huh?

No. Bullshit.

I hate alone. Alone sucks.

- Really? - Yeah.

Mmm.

Gin.

Gin.

Gin.

Gin...

Gin-Gin-

What?

My situation is...

so complicated.

I can't...

I can't explain.

[Sighs]

Well, can you try?

I'm sorry.

[Camera Clicks]

Yeah, I love you, too, guys.

Hey, what are you doing?!

Get off me!

Help!

Hector... Oh, God.

What are you doing here?

Oh, I read in the newspapers the mask thing's gone down

and I don't hear a peep from my trusty agent,

so naturally I worry.

I call the hospitals.

I call the morgue.

And, finally, I call the airlines.

I'm a man badly in need of news here, Miss Baker.

Help me out.

You want news, Hector?

Ok, the news is I don't appreciate

you blowing my cover like this.

He's planning a job

that's gonna make the mask look like...

You don't believe me?

Fine.

Then pull me in and pick him up.

Why would I pull you in

when you seem to be getting so close to Mac?

Oh, jeez.

This was business, Hector!

Business?

Are you sure there's nothing else you want to tell me?

Look, give me till tomorrow.

I promise you you'll have it all.

Can I go back to work now?

Don't lose her.

Guess she didn't appreciate my pictures.

Did I tell you or did I tell you?

She's screwin' you both, man.

She says it's business and I believe her.

Oh, yeah, I'm sure.

She's probably on her way to see Mr. Mac right now

and do a little business.

Don't do that. You do not do that!

You do not speak like that!

Hector, baby,

there ain't no need to get all up and hard, my man.

Now, I said I'd make this trip worth your while.

You better be right.

All you gotta do is listen to old Thibadeaux.

I never felt so underdressed in all my life.

Synchronize...

now.

[Beep]

Ok...

so the dish should be coming on-line hopefully.

Every minute from now to midnight

we steal a tenth of a second from our friends

at the International Clearance Bank.

They're still there...

so be careful, ok?

Wait.

Gin...

No, don't, don't. Don't say a word.

[Service Lift Beeping]

Shit.

Hey, have you seen a guy,

blue overalls?

4 to base. I'm sorry, sir. I lost him.

I-I don't know,

just somewhere between the stairs and the truck.

Yeah.

[Horns Honking]

[Dance Music Playing]

Ma'am.

Boys, this is Chief Inspector Yeng San

and that's Mr. Cruz from Waverly Insurance, New York.

They have a special interest in a couple of our guests.

[Men Talking Nearby]

[Beeping]

Elevator, one minute.

Gin: It's not working.

This one's not working. I'd use that one.

Do try to put a smile on your face, dear.

So, this is your international art thief.

He doesn't look very dangerous, does he?

Not yet.

Ok... and now.

[Beeping]

Now time stands still.

Hopefully.

Excuse me?

Did you see where they went?

70th floor, sir.

Watching the fireworks, probably.

Right. Do you have cameras up there?

Yes, of course.

Would you mind?

Mmm.

I can't find them, sir.

Chief: What do you mean you can't find them?

Sir, I just can't find them.

There are over 2,000 cameras in this building. Find them.

Listen...

I don't mean to intrude,

but these people are very, very smart,

and if they've disappeared, it's because they mean to.

Have you got any art in this building?

Some.

And the bank clearance house?

Nothing but a big computer.

Something doesn't smell right.

Well, Mr. Cruz,

on the say-so of you and your friends in the FBI,

I have a lot of men on stand-by here.

What would smell right to you?

I think you should pick them up.

Sonic pulse... 5 milliseconds.

Now, put your feet...

Between the pulses, I know.

Right. Now...

3... 2... 1.

And...

2...

Mac: Fingerprint brush.

Now, "kill," "mosquito," "cannon"-

"Don't use a cannon to kill a mosquito."

Confucius.

You are good.

[Beep Beep]

This is it, huh?

Whatever happened to money?

Give me the goggles.

Stuff you can get your hands on?

Mac: This is why I don't do banks anymore.

There used to be bars of gold, safety deposit boxes.

I mean, where's the good old-fashioned loot?

[Scanner Beeps]

Gin: The loot, my dear...

is right in there.

[Beep]

20 seconds.

Prepare to go off-line in K.L. in...

5... 4...

this is for real, people.

2... 1... go.

[Beep]

[Sighs] They're 10 seconds early.

Why are the Americans always in such a hurry?

10 seconds in.

F.D.Z. complete.

Clear!

Approaching 15.

Clear!

- Here we go. - Clear!

All clear.

10 seconds.

5... 4...

3... 2...

one.

Operator: We're clear.

Happy New Year, Malaysia.

Crowd: 10... 9... 8...

7... 6...

5... 4... 3...

2... 1.

[Cheering]

We did it!

Happy New Year!

Happy millennium!

That was perfect.

[Alarm Sounding]

Ah, Gin.

Unh!

The disc!

- Get me the spanner! - What?

The wrench!

Gin: If they find that disc, we're dead!

The door!

I can't stop it, Mac!

Armed response unit, code red.

[Shouting]

Leave it! Come on!

[Beeping]

Elevator 5 is on the move, sir.

Who is in it?

It's empty.

Cruz: No...

I think-- I think they're still in it.

Look, they freeze-framed the camera, see?

Shut it down.

There's always a surprise.

Here

[Beeps]

Suspects in the vicinity of floor 50.

Ok, Mr. Cruz, your friends are rats in a trap.

Where to?

Service elevators.

Get out! Out! Out!

[Both Coughing]

Try the stairs.

Get back.

Mac: Hang on.

I've got a better idea.

This way.

Temper, temper, Mr. MacDougal.

Confirm suspects on floor 50

heading south, away from the gas.

They'll think we'll try to avoid the gas,

so try and keep your eyes closed

and take a deep breath.

[Inhales]

Move! Go!

[Inhales Deeply]

Mac: Get back.

[Fireworks Exploding]

Here

What's this?

Plan "B" pack.

For what?

If we need it, I'll tell you.

Now if we can get across to the vent shaft,

we should be ok.

Across where?

There.

[Wind Blowing]

Let's go.

Mac: Ohh!

[Helicopter]

Ok.

[Metallic Clatter]

[Snap]

Move it!

- Aah! - Aah!

[Metal Creaking]

Keep moving!

Come on!

Oh, God.

Gin: Aah!

Mac: Aah!

Aah!

Mac: Gin!

Watch out!

Ohh! Ohh!

[Groaning]

Gin, we're nearly there!

Move it!

Come on!

- Uhh! - Ohh!

Uhh!

Oh, God.

[Crowd Cheering]

[Horns Tooting]

Next stop, vent shaft.

Man on megaphone: Armed police!

Put your hands above your head.

Do not move.

I repeat-

Remain where you are.

Officer: SWAT team to the roof.

SWAT team to the roof.

[Shouting]

If you can't feel alive now,

you never will.

Go!

Officer: Control, we have a clean shot.

Do we take it?

I repeat- Do we take it?

Negative, team leader, negative.

Do you copy?

I want these people alive and kicking.

Mac: Go!

Get up into the shaft!

Come on!

Now...

plan "B." Turn around.

What?

Turn around.

This is a minichute,

but it only works for the updraft.

I'm not going without you.

We go together.

No, no, no. We're too heavy. We'd drop like stones.

So when will I see you again?

Meet me tomorrow morning, 6:30, at the Pudu train station.

You'd better be there, ok?

Promise me you'll be there.

I will be there.

I'm never late.

If I'm late, it's because I'm dead.

Now...

rip cord.

Go!

Aah!

Go!

[Shouting]

[Cheering]

Mac!

Aah.

Oh, I'm sorry. Are you all right?

Rough night.

Hey, so what's wrong?

Wrong? Nothing's wrong.

Everything is the...

way it has to be.

- What? - Virginia Baker?

Special Agent Aaron Thibadeaux.

- FBI. - Come on.

You're under arrest for grand larceny.

No.

- You have the right to remain silent. - Mac?

Mac?

Anything you say can be used against you

in a court of law.

Thanks, Mac.

You got your one minute.

You're a cop.

No.

Well, not exactly.

Thibadeaux, believe it or not,

is FBI.

2 years ago he caught me, and, uh, cut a deal.

The deal was...

I had to deliver you.

They've been onto you for quite a while.

And Cruz knew, too?

No, he's just found out.

I don't get it.

Why didn't you pick me up before?

What were you waiting for?

Well, first, I, uh...

well, wanted to see if you could do it.

Bullshit. Come on.

And I wanted to see if I could do it.

Weren't we partners?

I can't believe you'd do this to me.

Well, you'd better believe it.

Mmm. It's all over.

I gave them Greene,

the Rembrandt, the mask,

and the full 7 billion.

What do you mean, 7?

So you'll just have to make do with one.

Hmm?

I thought you said one minute.

Relax, Hector.

He knows what he's doing.

Now, plan "C."

In your pocket you'll find an envelope

with a passport, visa, money.

Where you go from here...

is up to you.

And you'll still hold the record-

Alone.

Thibadeaux: Mac!

I-I don't understand.

Why are you doing this?

Well, believe me...

I was prepared for everything...

except you.

Mac! Time's up!

Come with me.

Gin...

your life, it's all ahead of you.

Mine?

This is all I've got.

No. You've got me.

You've got me.

Listen carefully.

In your other pocket...

Let's do it.

Move and I'll blow his head off!

Everybody just be cool.

Nobody move!

Fellas, put your weapons down.

You, too, Hector!

I swear I'll kill him if you move.

Relax. We'll get her at the next stop.

Bye, Mac.

She's headed towards the next station. Move!

Go, go! Move it! Now!

No guns! Get out of here now!

Move it!

I'm on it!

You know...

I don't know what just went down here...

but I'm gonna see

that you're busted out of the bureau for it.

It ain't over, Mac.

I believe you.

Well, Mac...

this looks like the end of a terrible friendship.

But you still owe me for today.

I always pay my debts.

4 prototype superchips.

Value: $5 million each.

Hope she was worth it.

Oh, she was.

I'll be seeing you, Mac.

I don't think so.

Ok, Bob, let the people back on the platform.

Bring me a damn car.

How did you do it?

I jumped trains mid-station.

When the train slowed down, I just- It was perfect.

Was it now?

You know what, Mac?

I don't wanna hold the record alone.

No?

I need your help on another job.

What, the crown jewels or something?

No! Come on! Too easy.

I was thinking of, well...

I know this guy in South Africa.

Diamonds, diamonds, diamonds!

The biggest diamonds you'll ever see in your life.

Have I told you how much I love diamonds?

Mac?

Mac!

Mac!

Mac: What?

[Sniffs]

So what do you think?

About what?

About my idea.

It's doable.

Aah.

Oh! Oh. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

No, no. Come here. I'm ok.
