PHONE RINGS

Hello?

Ming, turn that stinking music down!

Oh, it's you!

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 going to cover my expenses.

Under the circumstances, forty 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.

-Good morning, Mr Cruz.

-Morning.

How does it look? First you insure the art,

only to watch it get clipped a month after the client buys it.

It could become part of our ad campaign.

I'll remember that when I go upstairs to hear about

my new position in Toledo.

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.

70 storeys up with smart-glass windows

at 400lbs a pop?

He rigged something.

And I think it was...

..telescoping bolts.

And you know this how?

Excuse me.

HE SPEAKS CHINESE

You're showing off again.

Let a thousand flowers bloom...

-Chairman Mao.

-You got it.

He left the window open when he came in.

-The flowers blew over.

-You'll find fresh scratches on the bolts.

Who do we like for this?

-Guess.

-Oh, gee, I wonder.

Indulge me.

Indulge you?

-Bob, may I?

-Oh, yeah. Sure.

Go ahead.

Four weeks ago, when our client bought the Rembrandt.

-See anyone we know?

-No.

No, neither did anyone else.

Now look again.

You think he marked the buyer

at the auction?

-Right.

-Good work, Bob.

And let's not forget the calling card.

Elvis has not left the building.

This is classic Mac, Hector.

In the five years I have known you, you have liked

-MacDougal for over half our cases.

-He's the best.

He's 60 years old. He ain't Spiderman any more.

He's wealthy, he doesn't have to steal.

You think he steals because he has to?

Keep working.

You get in at seven in the morning,

work till ten, have lunch by yourself,

you have no friends at the office.

You've been paying attention.

I'm worried about you.

Maybe I like being alone,

or I'm getting over someone.

Nothing gets you over the last one like the next one.

Is this your way of asking me out,

Hector, huh?

Not if you're going to say "no".

You may be right.

He was here this week.

He flew back to London this morning?

It might be worth our while to send someone,

see what he's up to.

SHE LAUGHS

-I know this guy.

-Do you?

-Sure.

-When I was at the Bureau we sent two guys after him.

I know, I know. They disappeared, I know the story.

-They were both good agents.

-They were both men.

What do you have in mind for bait?

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.

Oh, God!

Shit.

CREAKING

SHE GASPS

Rule number one - never carry a gun.

You might be tempted to use it.

-Why are you here?

-If I don't like your answers you go 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?

You'll just have to trust me.

Rule two - never trust a naked woman.

I had nothing to sleep in, somebody stole my luggage.

Really? I'm shocked.

It's amazing what gets stolen. Your bags...

-That Rembrandt.

-Hmm.

Indeed. That Rembrandt.

And this is your proposition?

Yeah.

I don't think it's for sale.

I'm going to steal it.

From Bedford Palace? That's rather well-guarded.

It has a random access security code, changed daily. I have the key.

Good for you.

But I need your help.

I can't get in and out.

I have a buyer who'll give me 40 million for it.

I have no reason to believe a word you say.

But you want to.

Why is that?

Because you want the mask.

Hmm.

First we try, then we trust.

Meaning what?

Meet me outside the hotel, 9am tomorrow.

How do I know you'll be there?

I'll be there. And I'm never late.

-Never?

-Never.

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

Whose hotel?

Mac?

Mac?

SHE SIGHS

MARKET TRADER SHOUTS

Now, here we are.

You go in there and ask for Haas.

-Haas?

-Lovely fellow,

low-key. Tell him you want to buy a Ching vase.

The price is £200,000 but you're not about to pay.

-Why not?

-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.

-Ow!

-Sorry!

SHOP BELL RINGS

Hello.

Hi.

I'm here for the Ching vase.

-I don't know you.

-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 the real one. 200,000.

-HE LAUGHS

-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 think I made a terrible mistake about the vase.

Too right.

Yeah, I did.

PHONE KEYS BEEP

Time's running out. You can still escape if you're quick.

-Where's the vase?

-I broke it.

-What?

-I'm sorry.

Ah!

Oh, God!

God bless.

He came at me with a knife, what was I supposed to do?

Get the damn vase.

It was knock-off, you wouldn't have wanted it.

You missed the point of the entire exercise.

No, I didn't.

Oh. Good.

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.

SHE SIGHS

Look what you've done to this beautiful car.

Thank God it's not mine. Here.

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.

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

five prototype superchips, worth four million dollars each.

One of these chips is inside your suitcase.

-With hotel security.

-Yes.

And one anonymous phone call,

from me, plus the photos...

-What photos?

-Oh, yes.

These.

You took...

Hey! This is entrapment.

What?

This is called entrapment.

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.

This is quite a collection.

Thank you.

Only contemporary art?

You sound surprised.

No, it's just not what I expected.

Where are the suits of armour and the crossed swords?

Up in the attic. Whisky?

Sure, I'd love one.

Wow.

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?

-To have something like this and not share it.

I don't need to share it with anyone.

Most people buy art to show it off, I collect art for me.

Your room's this way.

Good night, then.

But it's still early.

We have an early start.

I'm not tired.

Where do you sleep?

Why?

Just in case I need anything.

-Can I ask you something?

-Sure.

Has there ever been anyone

who you couldn't manipulate, beguile, or seduce?

No.

Why? Do I make you uneasy, Mac?

No. Not at all.

In fact, I think now might be a good time

for you and I to discuss something.

What did you have in mind?

Er, the rules.

Oh. 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 of something other than the task,

we'll either both get caught or both get dead.

Good night, again.

No.

No.

No. No.

No. No.

-That's the way in.

-That's the lake.

I know it's the lake, dear.

The first duke dug a tunnel for his mistress.

A hundred years later, they flooded the place.

OK, so we go underwater.

I go underwater. I steal the mask.

You get the finder's fee of ten per cent.

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.

Come on, ask me how I did it.

-How did you do it?

-I came from the roof,

I dropped twenty 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?

Now, that...

is the most...

beautiful part.

I mailed it.

No.

I put it down my own mail tube.

Simple...

..effective... safe.

That's very clever.

No. Not clever.

It was perfect.

Absolutely unbelievable.

You're right.

It is beautiful.

Did you know Rembrandt lived with his parents well into his 40s?

But of course you'd know that, you're perfect.

H-How did you get that?

Why rob the paint house when the mail room's on the ground floor?

SHE EXHALES

How did you know I took it?

There's only a handful of people who make the equipment you used,

and I know all of them.

Someone was expecting that.

Mr Conrad Greene of Kuala Lumpur.

Oh, God.

What was it?

A down payment for services Mr Greene is providing?

Yeah, something like that.

What could you possibly want to steal in Malaysia?

-Hm?

-A hundred million dollars.

What's the job?

Like the wise man said...

.."First we try, then we trust."

Ah, good morning.

Why does my Jaguar look like you drove it off a cliff?

Thibadeaux, I'm awfully sorry.

You owe me 140 Gs.

How about a 40 million dollar Chinese mask instead?

With a turbo charger and a six CD changer?

Did you get everything I need?

-We're done, you buy me a new car.

-Agreed.

Did you get the small pneumatics?

What did you ask for?

Yeah, gotta be a damn elf to use them.

-And the det cord?

-It's in the bag.

That's some nasty shit, you don't want to mix it with nothing else.

What the hell's this?

The thermal camera you asked for.

I specifically said no liquid-plasma screen.

That was all I could get.

How am I supposed to do it without the right tools?

Give me a break. You think I go to K-Mart to get this shit?

You'll figure out something,

you always do.

-Where's the honey?

-In the loch, training.

I told her I swim for an hour every day, so she'll do it for two.

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 it 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,

she's probably a six, but she'd look

real fine if you put her in a four.

I had this girl, Tina, she said the dress made the woman.

But I say the woman makes the dress.

Lovely story.

But can you get the dress?

Mac, you're too old for this shit.

This mask thing better be worth it.

Oh, it is.

It better be worth it for me.

Our gear's arrived.

Who brought it?

A delivery man.

You just order that stuff from a catalogue?

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. What is it?

It's fifteen.

Good.

Stop.

Straight back. Go on, take it out. Back.

There you go, there.

Keep it taut. Taut.

Oh, finally.

Well done.

OK, I forgot. I forgot.

Right, again.

Knees together.

You keep your mind on your movement.

Reach. No! No! No! BELLS RING

These are lasers.

I am your eyes.

You keep yours closed, you can't see,

but I'll be watching every move on our screen.

Move it. You've got three minutes till the guard gets here.

Well, what's this? It's supposed to be one second.

You're supposed to open the valve full.

I did! You can see, it's open!

Very well. I'll rectify it later.

Six. Lever.

Seven. Drop.

Eight?

Deflate.

Well done.

I did open it full, OK?

You can go and check it.

Come on.

HE SIGHS

Here.

There.

This is where I'm going to enter.

Then I'll come up to the first beam, this is the hardest part.

Wait, I'll just... Right here.

Once I get under the first beam

I'll be fine, so don't worry about me, OK?

Once I have this on the computer I can visualise it.

-I can do this blindfolded.

-Really?

Is this absolutely necessary?

Yes. Because you won't be able to see them and I will.

And you will.

-Right.

-Trust me.

SHE EXHALES SLOWLY

SHE EXHALES

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 just afraid to be nice to me.

DOOR SLAMS

SHE PLAYS PIANO

Merry Christmas.

For me?

It's certainly not for me.

Open it.

I thought you were probably a six but would look very nice as a four.

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, I want to.

I won't be long.

I'll be waiting.

Hector Cruz on a secure line, please.

Was it my imagination or didn't I say to check in every day?

'Sorry, I can't just pick up my cellphone here.'

I've been worried about you.

'Where are you?'

I'm staying with Mac, at his castle.

'Spare me the details.

'Did he take the bait?'

'Oh, yeah. Big time. And he's got the Rembrandt.'

Whoa. Tilt, bingo, jackpot.

You want to pick him up?

'We've got him for possession...'

I can catch him with his hand in the till.

'Grand larceny, 25 years.'

'Think you're up to it?'

'I know so.'

Give me the how and the when.

'I'll call you as soon as I know.'

Is that a promise?

Of course it's a promise.

-SHE LAUGHS

-Unbelievable!

Let me have the mask.

-There she is.

-Oh, shit.

Now, this is where we play truth or dare.

What?

First, we start with truth.

You work for Hector Cruz at Waverly Insurance,

hmm?

SHE GASPS

Now...

I dare you to lie to me.

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

-What?

SHE COUGHS

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

No, you're playing both sides. You're going to sell the mask

to Conrad Greene then turn me in.

No, I need you for the job.

-There's no other job.

-There is!

It's worth over...

Don't tell me it's worth 100 million.

No, you're right, it's not.

It's worth over a billion.

SHE 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.

Can you just decide soon, please?

Four, three, two, one.

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?

HORN BEEPS

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.

HE LAUGHS Trust me, there always are surprises.

I must say, it's... very homely.

Why, thank you.

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 we're going to steal it?

And home of the International Clearance Bank,

which I'm sure you know controls all big money transactions

in Southeast Asia.

-Do I have your attention now?

-Undivided.

New York headquarters of the International Clearance Bank.

Running from there

are hackproof, dedicated lines to computers

in its branch offices around the world.

The only access is from central control in New York

or from the secure computers in the branch offices.

In Kuala Lumpur, only one man has unlimited access.

Lee Kuan Hong, chairman of the Clearance Bank of Kuala Lumpur.

Vaults are accessed by two things - a key code

and a completely unfakeable retinal scan.

Morning. Nice day, huh?

Which we're going to fake.

Our chairman,

with a face full of Mace, is now getting his eyes checked,

with a little help from Conrad Greene's guys.

With me, so far?

-All the way.

-Good. Because of the millennium bug,

International Clearance are running integrity tests

which they are rehearsing even as we speak.

Prepare test shutdown for Sydney.

'Just before midnight, local time,

'they'll shut down mainframes for 30 seconds.'

Sydney is down.

Run test program.

We need those 30 seconds

to patch into the mainframe.

We need ten seconds one-on-one with the computer to download the stuff.

-And how do we acquire those ten seconds?

-We steal them.

The transmitter I left behind

overrides the signal of the atomic clock.

So from 11pm tomorrow night, their clocks

gain a fraction of a second every minute and we gain ten seconds.

And what is this stuff we are downloading?

Enya?

Cunningly disguised in there

is a disk that took me five years to make

in my broom closet at Waverly Insurance.

It tells the ICB computer to transfer small amounts of money

from hundreds of corporations in East Asia into my account.

Our account.

Yeah, our account.

Eight billion dollars in total.

You said one billion.

-Uh-uh. I said that was your share.

-What can you do with seven that you can't with four?

Hold the record.

Alone.

Sounds rather lonely.

Alone?

No, alone is good.

-You want a beer?

-Thank you.

We'll need three weeks to prepare.

What?

-Minimum.

-No. It has to be tomorrow night.

No way.

You don't understand, it has to be millennium midnight or never.

Then, it's never. It's impossible.

You...!

OK.

Fifty-fifty.

What?

You heard.

It's impossible.

But doable.

BEEPING

So, ladies and gentlemen,

we are now standing over 700 feet above sea level.

Our sky bridge is the longest and highest in the world

and stretches over 300 feet to the opposite tower.

It is supported by four 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.

So, what have we here? We have the goggles

with the retinal scan.

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

in the bag.

Is there anything else?

Confucius, he say, "Don't use cannon to kill mosquito."

Er... 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.

Thing of beauty, huh?

A joy forever. Where's my mask? I want my mask.

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

Yeah.

Uh-huh.

I would suggest you have a little tete-a-tete with your partner,

if he's still in the country.

I'll hold on to the access card and the goggles.

You've got to believe me,

-I had no idea.

-Oh!

I would never do this to you.

Don't pout at me, you little bitch!

-Come on, Conrad.

-Get out!

Get out!

Just get out! Get out of here!

Baby, I'm glad to see you.

I'm calling it off.

You take this. I'll get the Rembrandt for you later.

-What you saying?

-She's over her head.

It's not going to happen.

What about this other big job you were cute about?

You wouldn't try to cut a brother out, would you?

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 you and me.

She's not my girlfriend.

I've been getting this Yoko vibe that, 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 nothing unless I say so.

Gin?

Gin?

Where is it, you bastard?!

I trusted you!

Bastard!

I trusted you! Where is it?!

HE GROANS

Why did you take it?

-SHE SOBS

-Get up, I know you're faking.

SHE SOBS

SHE SOBS

Where did you go?

Why did you take it?

I was going to sell it.

Then, why didn't you?

Because I...

couldn't do it.

Why not?

I knew that if I told you to forget this job,

get the hell out of here...

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

-No.

-Hmm. Right.

Were you worried about me, Mac?

Well, yes.

-Were you?

-I was worried about both of us.

Don't be.

Oh, right.

Oh, sorry, I forgot about the rules.

Oh.

You ever broken them, Mac?

No.

Not once?

No.

Never?

Never.

Alone is good, huh?

No. Bullshit.

I hate alone. Alone sucks.

-Really?

-Yeah.

Hmm.

Gin?

Gin?

Gin?

Gin!

-Gin, Gin, Gin.

-What?

My situation is...

so complicated.

I can't... I can't explain.

You're not going to try?

I'm sorry.

CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS

Yeah, I love you too, guys.

What are you doing? Get off me!

Help!

Hector.

Oh, God.

What are you doing here?

I read in the papers that the mask thing's gone down,

I don't hear a peep from my trusty agent, so I worry.

I call the hospitals.

I call the morgues.

And finally, I call the airlines.

I'm badly in need of news here,

Miss Baker. Help me out.

You want news? The news is I don't appreciate you blowing my cover.

He's planning a job that's going to 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?

Jesus.

-This was business, Hector!

-Business?

Sure there's nothing else you want to tell me?

Look, give me until 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 screwing you both.

She says it's business, I believe her.

Sure. She's probably on her way to see Mac to do a little business.

Don't do that. Do not do that!

Hey, Hector, baby.

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

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

You better be right.

All you got to do is listen to old Thibadeaux.

I've never felt so underdressed in all my life.

Synchronise... now.

OK.

The dish should be on line. Every minute, up to midnight,

we steal a tenth of a second from the International Clearance Bank.

SHE SIGHS

They're still there.

So... be careful, OK?

Wait.

-Gin...

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

BEEPING

Shit!

Have you seen a guy... blue overalls?

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

I don't know, he just... Somewhere between the stairs.

PARTY MUSIC

Boys, this is Chief Inspector Yeng San

and Mr Cruz from New York.

They have a special interest in a couple of guests.

CHATTERING >

Elevator, one minute.

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, Mr Cruz?

He doesn't look very dangerous, does he?

Not yet.

OK.

Now time stands still.

Hopefully.

Excuse me.

Did you see where they went?

Seventieth floor, sir.

Watching the fireworks, probably.

Do you have cameras up there?

-Of course.

-Would you mind?

Hmm.

I can't find them, sir.

-What do you mean?

-I just can't find them.

There are 2,000 cameras. Find them.

Listen, I don't mean to intrude,

but they are very smart.

If they've disappeared it's because they mean to.

-Is there any art in the 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?

You should pick them up.

Please make way, please make way.

Sonic pulse...

five milliseconds.

Now put your feet down...

Between the pulses, I know.

Three...

two, one. And...

Two... three...

SHE HUMS TUNE

Fingerprint brush.

"Kill. Mosquito. Cannon?"

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

You are good.

This is it? Whatever happened to money?

Give me the goggles.

Stuff you can get your hands on?

This is why I don't do banks any more.

There used to be gold, deposit boxes.

Where's the good old-fashioned loot?

The loot, my dear...

is right in there.

-BEEP

-Twenty seconds.

LOUD DISCO MUSIC

Prepare to go off line in KL. In...

Five, four, three...

This is for real.

..two, one, go.

BEEP AND DRONING

They are ten seconds early.

Why are the Americans always in such a hurry?

-Ten seconds.

-FDC complete.

-Clear.

-Approaching.

-Fifteen.

-Clear.

Clear!

Ten seconds.

Five, four,

three, two, one.

-We're clear.

-Happy New Year, Malaysia.

-ALL:

-Ten, nine, eight, seven...

-Come on.

six, five, four, three...

Two, one.

CHEERING

-We did it!

-Happy New Year.

Happy millennium.

That was...perfect.

ALARM

Oh, Gin.

The disk!

-Get me the spanner.

-The what?

The wrench!

If they find that disk, we're dead.

The door!

I can't stop it, Mac!

All response units, code red.

Leave it! Come on!

-Elevator five's on the move.

-Who's in it?

-It's empty.

-No.

They're still in it. They've freeze-framed the camera.

-See?

-Shut it down.

There's always a surprise.

Here.

Suspects in the vicinity of floor 50.

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

Where to?

Service elevators.

Get out!

BOTH COUGH

Try the stairs.

FOOTSTEPS

Get back in.

Hang on.

I've got a better idea.

Temper, temper, Mr MacDougal.

Confirm suspects on floor 50 heading away from the gas.

They'll think we're avoiding the gas.

Try to keep your eyes closed and take a deep breath.

SHE GASPS

Get back.

Here.

-What's this?

-The plan B pack.

-For what?

-If we need it, I'll tell you.

-If we can get across the vent shafts, we should be OK.

-Across where?

There.

Let's go.

Oh!

HELICOPTER WHIRRS

OK.

Move it!

SHE SCREAMS

Keep moving.

Come on.

CREAKING

Oh, God.

SHE SCREAMS

SHE SCREAMS

Gin, watch out!

Gin! We're nearly there!

Move it! Come on!

Oh, God!

CHEERING

Next stop, vent shaft.

'Armed police. Hands above your heads.

'Do not move.

'I repeat, remain where you are.'

'SWAT team to the roof.'

If you can't feel alive now, you never will.

Go!

'We have a clean shot, do we take it?

'I repeat, do we take it?'

Negative, do you copy?

I want them alive and kicking.

Go! Get up into the shaft.

Come on!

-Plan B, turn around. Turn around.

-What?

This mini-chute only works with the updraught.

Not without you. We go together.

No, we'd drop like stones.

So, when will I see you again?

6.30am at the Pudu train station.

-You better be there.

-I'll be there.

I'll be there. I'm never late.

If I am it's because I'm dead.

Now... ripcord?

Pull.

SHOUTING

CHEERING

SHE SIGHS

Mac!

-Ah!

-Oh, I'm sorry.

Sorry, sorry.

So, what's wrong?

Wrong? Nothing's wrong.

Everything is... the way it has to be.

-What?

-Virginia Baker?

Aaron Thibadeaux, FBI. I'm arresting you for grand larceny.

-You have the right to remain silent.

-Mac?

-Mac?

-Anything you say can be used against you in court.

Thanks, Mac. You got your one minute.

You're a cop?

No. Well, not exactly.

Thibadeaux is FBI. Two years ago he caught me

and we cut a deal.

The deal was that I had to deliver you.

They've been onto you for a while.

Cruz knew too?

Oh, he's just found out.

-SHE SIGHS

-I don't get it.

Why didn't you pick me up before, what were you waiting for?

Well, at first, I 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.

Oh, you'd better believe it. It's all over.

I gave them Greene, the Rembrandt, the mask.

And a full seven billion.

What do you mean, "seven"?

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

I thought you said one minute.

Relax, 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.

You'll still hold the record, alone.

Mac!

I-I don't understand. Why are you doing this?

Oh, believe me, I was prepared for everything... except you.

Mac! Time's up.

Come with me.

Gin...

your life is all ahead of you.

Mine? This is all I've got.

No, you've got me.

-You've got me.

-TRAIN APPROACHES

Listen carefully.

In your other pocket...

Let's do it.

Move and I blow his head off!

Everybody, just be cool.

-Nobody move!

-Put your weapons down.

You too, Hector. I swear I'll kill him.

We'll get her at the next stop.

Bye, Mac.

She's heading towards the next station.

Move it now! No guns. Move it!

You know, I don't know WHAT just went down here,

but I'm going to 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.

Four prototype superchips. Value - five million dollars each.

I 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...

-It was perfect.

-Was it, now?

You know what, Mac?

I don't want to hold the record alone.

-No?

-I need your help on another job.

What? The crown jewels?

No, come on! Too easy.

I was thinking of...

Well, I know this guy

in South Africa, he has the biggest diamonds you'll ever see.

Have I told you how much I love diamonds?

Mac?

Mac?

Mac!

What?

So, what do you think?

-About what?

-About my idea.

It's doable.

-Ow!

-Oh, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
