...ancient Chinese coins?

- "Fence"?

- Get rid of. Sell.

Yes, fence.

There are several disreputable collectors

in France...

...that would pay a pretty penny

for these coins.

The coins should be here any minute now.

When the van gets here,

I'll handle everything.

- No, I must be involved to the utmost.

- Fine, fine.

You asked for it.

Don't blame me if things get rough.

We agreed upon no rough stuff.

Take your hand off me,

before I rip it off.

If it gets rough...

...it gets rough.

You brought a sandwich to a heist?

Pastrami on rye. It's my favorite.

Care for a bite?

- Caraway seeds.

- It's good, isn't it?

Get out, get out! Now!

In front of the car! On your knees!

Hands on your heads!

- Avnet, don't do anything rash.

- Hey, pipe down!

Are you carrying

those ancient Chinese coins?

Answer me.

One...

...two...

...three, four, five.

Oh, God!

- Yes, we have the coins.

- Right.

Where's the key to the back of the truck?

- They're on my belt.

- Give me!

- Why did you kill those two men?

- That's your fault.

The number one rule of thievery:

There are no witnesses,

especially ones who have heard your name.

Are these those Shiny New Enemies?

Yes, those are they.

What's the number one rule of thievery?

Wait a minute. You can't kill me.

I have the gun, you have the brain

the bullet lodges in. Simple arithmetic.

What about the fencing?

I have to fence the coins.

You told me what to do.

I'll just go to France

and look for disreputable people.

How hard can that be?

If you let me live, I'll make you a rich man.

I am a rich man.

Goodbye, Bollingsworth.

Two men dead, Bolly.

Two men.

And the coins are gone.

And it's all my fault.

I'm ruined. Ruined.

I'm sure they'll be returned.

I can't believe this...

...cocksucker, or cocksuckers...

...knew about the secret delivery.

How the hell did that get out?

I'll have to remember

every single soul I told.

Well, Stevens...

...it could be anybody.

Perhaps the thieves just happened

to be driving by at the right time.

That's highly unlikely, don't you think?

Sergeant Kolko.

What a pleasant surprise.

Good morning, Mr. Stevens.

Sergeant Kolko,

this is Robert Bollingsworth, an old friend.

Bolly, this is Sergeant Meredith Kolko.

She's heading the robbery investigation.

- Pleased to meet you.

- Please, sit.

So, any leads?

- That's what they say, isn't it? Leads?

- Yes, it is "leads. "

We know two people were involved.

But I heard there were no witnesses.

That's right...

...but I discovered this

at the scene of the crime.

- What is it?

- A sandwich.

Pastrami on rye.

But not your common pastrami on rye.

This is bakery fresh bread
