- Oh.

Well... family heirloom.

It's very dear to me, actually.

It serves as a reminder, of a time long

ago, when the world was very different.

Less complicated.

When good men banded together

to fight for what was right.

It motivates me to this day.

It brought me here, to you.

And I'm incredibly

grateful that it did.

All right.

You'll have access to

the bank accounts at midnight.

By 12:
01, I want them

cleaned out.

Yes, sir.

Um...

- What is it?

- Sir.

Should we be doing this?

I mean the 2.5 billion

isn't blood money.

It's going for aid

to people in need.

Now don't start growing a conscience,

Arnie. You haven't had the experience.

He asked you about

your ring, didn't he?

It practically sealed the deal.

How did you know he would?

It's a conversation starter.

- What did you tell him?

- The truth.

That it was a family heirloom.

I just didn't tell him

it wasn't my family.

I almost gave it to him.

Why?

Because he's pathetic, just

like the man I took it from.

You've kept it all these years,

it must mean something to you.

Here.

It's yours. That's how much

it means to me.

All right. Get on with it.

Time's a-wasting.

Yes, sir.

Simon Templar, you're

the most peculiar thief I know.

Coming from you,

I'll take that as a compliment.

You have the list?

Right here.

Eight hundred thousand

to doctors without borders.

- Seven hundred fifty thousand to migrant assistance.

- Um-hmm.

1.5 million to children's

hunger fund...

Listen...

You want to give

all this money to children?

Th-they are so little.

Maybe they don't eat so much.

Your money.

You're the boss.

Just make sure the money

gets where it needs to go.

Minus my very little commission.

Minus your rather

hefty commission

which several of your competitors

would gladly undercut.

Yes.

But they don't have

my good looks.

Or your discretion...

Old friend.

And in international news,

2.5 billion dollars earmarked

to aid the nation of Nigeria

has apparently gone missing.

Newly elected president Ezekiel

Ibaka has vowed to find

the missing funds or resign.

- Did you watch it?

- Yes, it's hardly news.

Just another corrupt dictator stealing

from his people. Plus ca change.

No. I trust him.

I think he's just been

trusting the wrong people.

And you know this because...

A hunch. A little digging

I've been doing on my own.

How very entrepreneurial

of you, darling.

Better watch my back

or you'll have my job.

No, you can keep it, darling.

I like being the brains

of the operation.

Oh, is that what you are?

So what does that make me?

The muscle, love.

You're all muscle.

Now, listen.
