Gentlemen, the Vanderveer Collection.

We'll keep them here until one day

before the exhibition is to open...

...at the museum.

Of course, during the day we'll have

a special detail of six armed guards.

At night, they'll be augmented

by 12 strategically placed...

...security personnel.

-Excellent.

-I'm glad you approve.

You already owe a substantial sum, Fred.

-It's due in 30 days.

-Mr. Arnold, I'm aware of that.

But it takes money to make money.

And this is a sure thing.

With this, I am guaranteed in the black.

And your money,

your interest is in your pocket, in full.

On time, no bullshit.

And this time, I have great collateral:

You know the name, now own the watch.

I know the name, Fred.

And your body is your collateral.

Now...

...this doesn't change our original contract.

Absolutely not.

-You still owe me everything.

-Absolutely.

In 30 days.

This is it.

Your new factory, rented just for you.

Oh, baprai! Right here?

This is why I am studying

to become citizen...

...of your great country.

In one day's time only,

a man can go from a mean street corner...

...like this one,

to a skyscraping building like that one.

What are you talking about? Not the bank.

Mid-town, centrally located.

Been here since 1902.

Beautiful, huh?

An historic building. Come on.

It's unbelievable, isn't it?

They're tearing it down soon,

so I sweet-talked them into a short lease.

-Really?

-Got it for a song. It'll work though, right?

I mean, it's got everything we need.

It's got...

...walls and windows.

Phone service.

All the square footage you could ask for.

Arey.

Benny, I'd like you to meet

your production staff.

They're fast learners, they're hard workers.

Minimum wage.

Here's your budget

for tools and parts and all that.

I promised our staff a three-course dinner.

Got my favorite table

reserved at McDonald's.

Excuse me.

How are you obtaining

this financial funding?

A little muscle, a whole lot of hustle.

Everybody get a watch?

I got a watch.

-You like McNuggets?

-Who is he?

Trust me.

I don't believe it.

Well, this is just great!

Well, this is just great!

Who the hell are they?

Nobody's supposed to be here.

Slow down, Saunders.

I knew I should have

stayed away from this.

So leave!

Go back to your two-bit computer scam

you were doing so good.

All right.

-How much time do we need?

-You gotta be kidding.

We're not past the utility lines yet.

The soil density is lower than I thought.

We'll have to shore every five feet.

There's no way we'll get

to the jewels before--

How much time?

If we have to stop digging

for more than five days...

...we'll never make it in time.

We have to get them out of here,
