Thick As Thieves Page #6

Synopsis: In New York, the experienced art thief, Keith Ripley, invites the bold thief from Miami, Gabriel Martin, to team up with him. He plans the heist of two valuable mysterious antique Faberge eggs, located in a safe, of the well protected Russian jewelry Romanov. Each egg is worth twenty million dollars on the black market, and Ripley needs his cut to free himself from his debt to a powerful mobster, known as Nicky. The reluctant Gabriel agrees to participate, after having a one night stand with Ripley's goddaughter Alexandra Karolin. Meanwhile, the persistent Lieutenant Weber, who has unsuccessfully tried to put Ripley in jail for twenty years, figures out how to anticipate the movements of the criminal in order to catch him.

Gettlng in is highly improbable...

But gettlng out

is frankly imposslble.

Where does that door lead to?

To our inner vault which

contalns our most precious items...

I'm sorry but security prevents me...

from taking even this

distinguished group in there.

Now we'll proceed back to

the reception, but before we do...

I'd like to, once again,

thank you both...

for your generosity this last year

in helping set up our business.

And thank you very much

for the donatlon of that chopper.

You're quite welcome.

- Let's go.

- We can do this, Gabriel.

No... Absolutely not.

- It was a pleasure. Goodbye.

- Wait a minute. Wait.

We're not going any where yet.

If Zykov finds that camera,

he's gonna know what it is.

They'll change all the protocols.

Which part of "I don't give a sh*t"

do you not understand?

Sorry. Let me just...

- I'll handle it.

- No, no, no.

- Please, please. Allow me.

- I'm absolutely okay.

I apologise, sir.

What the f***?

What the f***?

Detective Weber, I'm Hal Donley,

special agent in charge of this op.

You're conducting an investigation

of a potential theft...

that you assume is going down

at Romanov Jewelers.

Assume, my ass.

I know it's going down

and I know who's pulling it off.

Except we're asking you

to call off your dogs.

There are other matters

that take precedence.

What could possibly

take precedence...

over the potential theft

of millions of dollars in diamonds...

from a company that donates tons

of money and equipment to the NYPD?

Valentin?

Vitaly Zykov, in the old Soviet days,

was the right-hand man

to a party boss named Dimitri Kuzin.

Kuzin set up a supposedly independent

Russian diamond centre in America.

Romanov's...

But diamonds... they're not all

that he's shipping over here.

He's ripping off

the Russian Treasury, Detective.

Gold, gems, artworks.

Gentlemen, where do you think

Romanov's got the money...

to buy your department a helicopter

and now police cars?

From retail diamond sales?

- So why are they doing this?

- Is that a serious question?

So the NYPD will leave them alone.

That's their mindset.

We need more time

to build our mutual cases.

That's why we can't have

any other investigations...

potentially alerting Zykov.

Lieutenant...

shut it down.

- Gentlemen.

- Commissioner...

Just in case

you think you're smarter than us,

decide to continue this investigation

on a down and low,

forget it.

This is bigger than you and your ego.

Do you get it?

I get it.

- What did the feds have to say?

- Nothing. Everything's still a go.

The first order of business

is to bypass the security cameras.

If we can gain access

into the surveillance system,
