That's very nice.
It's beautiful.
Twenty-six one carat diamonds. And the colour is perfect.
- Is it for your girlfriend? - It's for my mother.
I'd like to bring her by tomorrow morning.
Certainly, I'll put it aside for you, Mister...
- Marvel. - Marvel.
- That's okay. - Sorry.
- It's fine. - May I be of some assistance?
I just...
Mr. Marvel is interested in purchasing the DuPont bracelet.
- Well, I'll see you both tomorrow. - Have a nice day.
Thank you.
That's me. Bobby Comfort.
Thirty-nine days ago I was in lockup, looking at 10 years for attempted robbery.
So I hitched a ride with two other guys.
Let's get out of here.
This way.
In less than a week, the others were back inside.
I was in Miami.
I was just about to call myself lucky.
Robert Comfort. FBI.
You're under arrest for breaking out of the state penitentiary.
Yeah, okay.
Robbery. Conspiracy to commit robbery.
Petty larceny. Grand larceny.
Criminal trespass. Resisting arrest.
Your Honour.
Your Honour, pardon me. He...
I want to say he is a devoted son...
and never forgets a birthday...
never forgets Christmas...
My mother, Peggy Comfort. I call her Peggy.
Not wanting to try the patience of the court...
Your Honour, this boy has struggled...
to pull himself up from under many an adverse circumstance.
Doc Diablo. Not really a father, but he's always been a father to me.
We will move to the current violation:
Escape from a Rochester Correctional Facility.
Correct me if I'm wrong, Mr. Comfort.
You seem to feel that you are not required...
to serve time for your escape...
or for the crime that facilitated your confinement?
That is correct.
Your Honour, that petition is a piece of toilet paper...
It's come to my attention that I was illegally incarcerated...
for a prior incident.
He was incarcerated for first degree robbery.
If a definite term is not set...
then confinement shall be a maximum of three years.
I served four years, four months, Your Honour.
By my count, that's one year four months more than I owed.
There is also the matter of a missing bracelet from a Miami jewellery store...
which the accused has refused to acknowledge.
That is not before the court.
Every once in a while, life cuts you a break.
All rise.
Regrettably, Mr. Comfort's assessment...
of his case is the correct interpretation.
Taking into account time already served...
it appears you are eligible for immediate release.
Saints be praised.
Excuse me, sir.
I'm suing the State.
Wrongful imprisonment.
Your job is to recognise the opportunity and use it to full advantage.
And that's what makes a difference between failure and success.
Oh, my baby boy!
Baby, you were magnificent. You're a genius.
- Nice work. - Doc.
I didn't think you'd be able to pull it off.
Hey, baby.
I waited outside. I was afraid you weren't going to make it out.
- I promised, honey. - Yeah. You got lucky.
Think that was luck?
My wife, who really doesn't belong in this story.
The only smart choice I ever made.
- Honey, I think we deserve a drink. - You're on.
You come home a hero, but it doesn't last long.
In my case, about a day. Then you have bills to pay.
- Stop. - Why? Come on.
Amy is in the other room and I got to finish this.
- She's not looking. - No, I'm serious.
Come on, hold your horses. She's going to bed in an hour.
Just kissing.
Stop it. You're in my way.
That's Phil, Phil Parris. Second cousin once removed.
We grew up together.
You know, the kid you didn't want on your team.
Hello.
- Hey, Amy. - Hi, Uncle Phil.
- Hey, Bobby. - Hey, Uncle Phil.
I heard you were coming home. Welcome back.
Thanks, Phil. You're looking good.
Not as good as you. Must be all the fresh air, huh?
Bad joke. I'm sorry. It was a bad joke.
Phil, I haven't been home, as you know, in quite some time...
so you got something in particular?
I actually asked Phil to come by tonight...
because he's got something to give to you.
Here you go, cuz.
DentaPlan Labs, what's that?
He's a friend of Phil's. He might be able to give you a job.
They make teeth: Caps, crowns, you know, mouth stuff.
And the pay is good.
You know, if you want to stay on this side of the wall...
you're going to need a real job, right?
Just trying to help, cuz. You know, it's something to consider.
- Thank you. I'll think about that. - Sure.
I mean, it's not 100% yet. I mean the guy wants to meet you first.
I went out of my way for you on this, so don't make me look like a jerk.
We wouldn't want that.
And, Stephanie, it's not the batteries...
it's just the reset button underneath, so it's fine.
- Thanks, Phil. - Yeah.
Well, I'll let you do your what you do.
Steph. Welcome home, Bobby.
- See you, stinky. - Bye, Uncle Phil.
Welcome home.
What?
He just comes by sometimes to help me out.
I mean, you know what he's like.
The world you dream about when you're on the inside looking out...
always seems a little bit brighter.
Then the real world hits like a ton of bricks.
Freedom. It's not as free as it seems.
It's One Fine Margin leading Girsh's Arrival by a nose.
Beautiful Girl's maintaining...
Come on. Don't let him get you!
Damn it!
Long odds?
If you'd been on time I wouldn't have done it.
- You have any trouble? - Do I ever have any trouble?
I owe you one.
I got a guy who wants to talk.
- I can't. - He's got a job.
I got a job.
Oh, yeah, you got a job. This is a job job.
That's Sam. Sam Nalo.
He's got some fashion issues, among other things.
Come on!
Come on, you can take him!
Come on! Don't get boxed.
Hotels?
Five-star hotels. 39 of them, in New York City.
Long way to drive for post cards and Bibles.
Who do you think stays there? Guys like us?
I've been doing a little research.
It's an all-you-can-eat buffet.
Just think about it. All those stones in a box...
that you can pry open with a pocketknife.
You don't even know me.
I know you walked into a court with two armed robberies...
and a jail break and you walked out scot-free.
For what I'm talking about I need a guy who can work people like that.
I'm a little socially challenged. I just need your powers of persuasion.
What do I get in return?
I got to really spell it out for you, huh?
- Okay, 40 years old. - 39.
He's been arrested 10 times.
For what? Gas station, scrap metal lot.
Five-and-dime, that's chump change.
You want to go big time? This is your big break, Bobby.
Opportunities like this don't come along every day.
Your first problem is what to tell your wife.
She's not stupid, which is why you married her.
A consultant?
- Right. Okay, in what? - Security.
- Oh, for God sakes. - What?
Baby, please just do me the courtesy of telling me the truth, okay?
You really want to know?
I want you to stay here.
- You see. - I see.
There's a whole city out there.
Hot dog vendors and bus drivers.
A hundred thousand people who manage to make their living without going to jail.
I'm not going to jail.
You've been there half your life.
Well, it's different this time.
Come on, Bobby.
Come here.
Things happen, right? They happen for a reason.
There's a reason I got out.
Yes, there is. You got lucky.
This guy's onto something big. I can feel it.
You just got home.
- I don't want you going back, okay? - I'm not going back, Stephanie...
on my life.
Every great achievement begins with inspiration.
Columbus had the ocean, the Wright Brothers had the sky.
I had New York City.
And this is where it's starting.
The Pierre Hotel. The jewel in the crown.
Three hundred rooms.
Single room rack rate: $500 a night.
Whoa, take it down.
You don't want to attract too much attention.
It's like that all the time.
What about security?
They've never been robbed. Not even a purse snatch.
Yeah. What'd I tell you?
Come on, let's go.
Richard Nixon, Elizabeth Taylor, Prince of Wales...
They have all had suites here.
May I help you?
Yes. This is my friend's first day in the big city.
And, you know, I thought I'd show him the best.
Well, perhaps we could lend you a proper jacket and tie.
You're kidding, right?
This is a $600 jacket, pal.
- Never mind. - No.
Mick Jagger wore this jacket.
We would be happy to provide you with a list of nearby diners.
Listen, you low rent martinet. I came here to eat, all right?
And I'm going to eat.
Morons, drones, I belong here.
What have we got here, Billy?
We're fine, thank you.
We were just leaving.
Screw the Pierre. I got 39 others just like it.
You in or you out?
You want to say, "Are you crazy? I have too much to lose. "
But it's right there, so close you could touch it.
The life you've been dreaming about.
I'm in.
Stephanie.
- Hey, Phil. - You are hard to find.
Yeah, well, I've been busy.
- Yeah, still working, huh? - Yeah, I don't mind.
Stephanie, Bobby's been missing work a little.
And if he doesn't take it seriously they're gonna...
- Yeah. - He's going to be replaced.
I know.
He's not being too smart.
You know, it's hard...
you know, coming back, making a transition and all...
Stephanie, some guys don't make it. You know?
Look, Phil, I appreciate everything that you did for us while he was away.
It's my pleasure. Hey, I got something for you.
Yeah, you know, this is...
Actually it's for Amy.
Etch and Sketch. The dials go two different directions.
She can make the little flowers that she likes.
- And then you shake it up... - Phil.
I got to say something here.
I don't think you should come by anymore, okay?
It's not going to work, Phil.
With Bobby, and... You know my situation, right?
Sure. I understand.
Listen, I'll make sure that Amy gets this and she knows it's from you.
- Great, okay. - Okay.
- I'll see you. - Okay.
- And give Amy a hug for me. - I will.
Just one more day. Then I'll be home.
There's nothing crazy about this, the guy's a pro.
Steph?
What?
You want to back out?
Why would we want to back out?
Just a question.
I can't get this moustache to stay on.
I made the reservation. Said we'd be coming late.
The skeleton crew comes on at 2:00. It's the night clerk and a guard.
The boxes are in a closet. Standard lock.
Piece of cake. Let's go to work.
- You want to wear my moustache? - I got a nose.
- Hi. - Good evening.
Turn around.
I can't see without those.
- Who else is here? - Nobody.
- Hey, take it easy. - What about the button?
What button?
- The red button... - Hey!
- What's it for? - Security.
- How many? - One. In the basement.
You wouldn't be lying to me, would you?
- Back off. - The lobby's clear.
Sammy!
- Hey, take the boxes. - Hey, I don't do manual labour.
Yes, you do.
- Check the basement. - Right.
Are you all right?
Thank you.
I have a heart condition.
You want some water?
You better answer it, they'll just come down and complain.
Front desk.
This is Mr. Mallory, can I get a wake-up call for tomorrow?
Absolutely, Mr. Mallory.
- 6:15? - 6:15.
Thanks.
- Who are these people? - Are they wearing hats?
Bring them in. We'll shoot them.
You can't shoot them. They're here for the concert.
Madison Square Garden. They're famous.
You took off his tape?
- Everything's under control. - Is it?
Don't you have something to do?
- Hello. - Good day.
We have reservation, for my collection of...
entertainers.
Big show. Very tired. Madison Square Gardens...
Okay, guys. Fun's over.
Get up!
No use firearm in menacing manner.
How much longer?
You're the guy who sent me in here.
Have fun.
There's an air shaft, sound travels up to the rooms.
If it doesn't stop, the guests will come down.
That's it.
You play another note, and I'm going to break your neck. Understandio?
I understand you.
Time's up.
I knew you were a mistake the minute I saw you.
I was a mistake?
Seven arrests in 15 years. I must have been out of my mind.
You are a psycho.
You don't talk to the hostages.
No, you just shoot them. There's no risk there.
A mariachi band with all their instruments? You put them in a room?
That was truly inspired.
I guess now we know why you blew all those other jobs.
Screw you.
Hey, the King of Siberia never got there by being nice.
There is no king of Siberia.
Yeah, that's right. There's me.
Twenty-nine years. No slips, no time inside.
You worked like a charm tonight.
Are we through?
Sammy, goodbye.
Where are you gonna go, Bobby?
You going to go to Rochester? Go rob some candy stores?
No. I'm going to find someone who wears normal clothes.
You sideshow freak.
There comes a time in a man's life when he begins to take stock.
What has he accomplished?
Where, in the grand scheme of things, does he fit?
This leads to more complicated questions.
What does it mean to succeed?
How do we measure success?
You know you can get in trouble doing something like that.
How'd you find me?
- I went by your home. - You son of a bitch!
No, your neighbours were quite complimentary.
One of them said you were like a hard working family man.
You listen. You stay away from me.
Could we just turn it down a little bit? All this macho territorial stuff?
You come near me again, I'll kill you.
We hit a pothole, all right?
I'm the first to admit that.
Sabine Moreau is in New York City.
She's opening a film, I think.
There was this article, right, about how she took out...
all this special insurance just for the trip.
$3 million in diamonds.
You are certifiable.
She's got a private apartment in the Hampton Hotel. There's no risk.
How do I make you go away?
All right, no more violence, okay? I swear on my mother's grave.
I provide inside information...
and you handle the jobs. You run the jobs any way you like.
No.
I know you want this, Bobby. I know you do.
I want my life.
Look, you got a gift, Bobby.
Some men were born to be, what, stockbrokers, salesmen...
a basketball player?
And some men were born to be thieves.
I get the good ideas, but I look like a crook.
People trust you. You're the one who can get me inside.
What's that?
That's your take.
It's a private apartment. No risk.
No, I'm not going to do it. The guy's nuts. You've seen him. Looney Tunes.
You're the one who found him.
I'm an old man, Bobby. I want to retire.
You don't have to trust him. Just trust me.
- I thought we weren't getting... - Neither did I.
- How much? - $40,000 a piece.
Maybe this guy's not so crazy as he seems.
When it finally falls into place...
it's like a dance you've been rehearsing for a long time.
You keep missing the beat...
and then all of a sudden, your feet just take over.
Everybody knows his part.
Driver...
front man, backup.
You don't even have to look down.
Please. We don't have any money.
Get in the room.
Get in the room!
Come on, Doc.
- Got it. - Good.
Hey, you stay here.
Yes, sir. Whatever you say, sir.
Nice and calm. Everything's going to be fine.
Nice and calm.
Everything's going to be fine.
I think.
Eyes on the floor.
Who are you? What do you want?
- The diamonds. - What diamonds?
I saw you on The Tonight Show. Don't play games.
Those were paste.
Insured for $2 million. Come on, don't play games.
Oh, God.
Where's the safe?
I think I need some water. I may faint.
You've made a mistake.
You think I'm rich because I'm famous?
Drink.
You want to know why the insurance?
This.
I make a movie. The studio pays money...
and then maybe some gangster comes and shoots me...
before I'm finished.
You don't want to shoot me.
That's my husband.
He calls every night. If I don't answer he'll be worried.
Answer it.
It's for you.
- Hey, how's it going? - It's good.
That bad, huh?
Hey, whatever you're thinking of, I'm not going to do it.
- She has a baby. - What?
Her very resourceful nanny just called down here and asked me to call the police.
I hear you're not alone. You have a kid.
It kind of makes everything else seem trivial, doesn't it?
I can leave here with your diamonds, or I can leave here with your child.
It's up to you.
Bobby Comfort. Isn't he your cousin?
Yeah.
It's New York City. It's five hours away.
Yeah, tell me about it. All you got to do is get on a train, right?
Let me ask you something. You got a hard on for this guy or what?
You know, we got like, five open homicides.
I know, it's not my department and all, all right.
But I'm doing my job and I'm on it.
- When? - I'm doing my job!
When, Phil. When?
Half the time you're staring out the damn window...
the rest of the time you're sitting around reading the paper.
Then you come in here with some crazy story about your family.
That's it. Get it out of here.
You know, maybe you should go rob a bank, huh?
Then you can be a tough guy, too.
You know what? Forget I said anything, all right.
You better check yourself, Parris!
You're looking good, Bobby.
When I was a kid, I used to read comic books.
You know what I like about them? Superheroes?
What?
Their suits.
You know they're going to catch up with us sooner or later.
You think we should stop?
Did I say we should stop?
Well, if it ain't broke.
Hey, Bobby.
Phil. Phil Parris.
- How's it going? - Good. Great.
Great.
Actually, it's not. My life, it's not that great right now.
I got demoted to traffic and parking.
- That's a nice car. - Thanks.
Well, it's nice to see you.
You, too.
Remember that guy, Midas?
One wish, and he chose against good advice...
to have everything he touched turn to gold.
He wound up with no food, the ears of an ass...
afraid to touch his wife.
But there must have been a moment right at the beginning...
when he felt the greatest happiness of his life.
I love it.
Amy, sweetie, are you sure you want to keep all these books?
There's a lot of them.
The point is no regrets. You made a choice.
And if you had to do it over, knowing everything...
you'd make the same choice again.
Hey, I need you to call the furniture movers.
They wanted the 29th, but I think we should push it up.
Yeah. Maybe it's too much.
I would have thought you'd like that, a big turkey on a nice dining room table.
What?
I saw Phil.
Phil Parris?
Yeah, he was outside the house the other day.
What did he say?
Nothing. He didn't say anything, he was just looking at me.
Why didn't you tell me?
Well, I'm telling you now. Okay?
- Baby, you need to be smart. - I am smart.
- Then why is he following us? - I don't know.
You said it was going to be different this time.
- Look, this is nothing. - You said you were working with a pro.
Look, he's never been caught, Stephanie.
Twenty-nine years and he's never been inside.
I want to meet him.
It's about time, don't you think so?
What is this, a test?
Just bring him home and reassure me, okay?
All right? If he's such an expert, I want to see it.
All right. Fine.
But you know Phil just wants to hurt somebody because he hates his life.
Nice card handling.
Hey, save the shave, Doc. It's off.
- It's off? What do you mean, it's off? - I caught a tail.
A tail?
I think. I said might. I think I'm jumpy.
- No, you're not jumpy. - No, I'm jumpy, all right.
- It's probably nothing. - No, it's not nothing.
- They're starting a squad. - What?
In New York City...
the Mayor, the FBI, the Police Commissioner...
they're starting a squad to combat the recent surge in hotel-related crimes.
You know this?
Well, thanks to a few well-paid informants, yeah, I do.
When were you planning on telling us?
- What are you talking about? I just did. - We were going out tonight.
- Yeah, so... - With the city full of cops watching us?
What do they know?
Listen, they don't know anything, all right.
It's not even official. They hold their first press conference next week.
Is this about us?
No, Doc. It's about the other hotel robbers.
Look, it doesn't matter. It's off.
They can't arrest us for changing our minds.
Bobby!
It was a judgment call.
Yeah, it was.
Hey, how about Thanksgiving?
People don't go to hotels on Thanksgiving. They like to stay home.
No, I'm not talking about a job. I'm inviting you to dinner.
Right.
Unless you got other plans.
No. No plans.
No wonder they demoted you.
Yeah? Well, maybe I don't care if you see me.
You ever think of that?
I don't think about you, Phil. One way or the other.
I am looking out for you here. I don't want to see you go down, Bobby.
Remember when we were kids, you used to follow me to the movies?
We're not kids anymore.
Really? Because you don't seem any different to me.
If I'm here now, how long do you think it's going to take before you get caught?
Bobby?
Hey, flowers.
Yellow roses to signify friendship.
I'm touched.
Not bad.
Does it come with a family?
Sammy lives in New York City.
You remember, honey? The Radio City Music Hall. The Empire State Building.
- Why do you eat like that? - Amy.
Because I like it.
And you mind your manners or you're going to go up to your room.
- Just don't you eat like that. - Ma...
So does your family come from New York, Mr. Nalo?
Oh, no. I was raised by the State.
Fourteen foster homes for five years.
Well, you never know.
Well, let's call it a night.
Okay. But before I leave...
I have a little something for the ladies.
A little token of my appreciation.
You don't have to do that.
Well, what, are you kidding me? After a meal like that?
No. I mean it, really.
Don't worry about it.
Oh, my God.
Honey, did you have a look at that?
Oh, I love it.
- Sammy, can I see you outside? - Yeah.
You know, I always knew my Bobby would blossom in the right company.
Sammy?
- Thank you. Thank you for dinner. - Thanks.
So nice to meet you.
- What is the matter with you? - What?
You don't just give something like that.
I paid for it. Straight up.
Hey, look, I got something for you, too.
Special edition. I paid $500 for it.
They say it's rare.
Last Man Standing number one.
Signed, right there at the bottom.
Usually at a time like this, somebody says thank you.
Thank you, Sammy.
What a nice man. Don't you think? What a nice guy.
You think he's nice?
Yeah, you got to have a lot of character to overcome...
that kind of adversity, I think.
God. You got to be kidding me.
No. And cute, huh?
- Kind of cute, you got to admit. - He's a Neanderthal.
Oh, please. With that nice coat?
They had that press conference today.
They got nothing. Three tuxedos and a fake nose.
I guess we're done.
I say we do one more.
A big one. Then we're done.
What did you have in mind?
The Pierre.
- They kicked us out, remember? - I know.
We hit it New Year's Day, after all the big parties.
The thing is, you couldn't say no, even if you wanted to.
- Did he leave? - That was nice.
Got to admit, that was a good idea bringing him home.
You told me you were working with an expert.
He's a smart guy...
who doesn't do well in a home environment.
He's trouble, and if you don't see that, you're trouble, too.
- You're tired. - You need to stop.
- I mean it. - I can't stop.
- Now. - We got a good thing going here.
We don't need the money, Bobby.
Stephanie, I'm going to pull one more job. Just one...
Listen to yourself.
It's a compulsion with you.
It's the same one you've had since you were 13 years old.
No, I told you we're going to do better and we're doing better.
You need to choose. It's him or me.
I want you to leave.
You can take that with you. I don't want it in my house.
Lieutenant, please, it'll just take a minute of your time.
Let me guess, you want your job back?
- I need a favour. It's personal. - Okay.
Just tell me what you can find out about this guy.
There you go, Dr. Green. Have a pleasant stay.
I hear there's been trouble with hotel theft in the city.
Is there a secure place I could keep this?
Oh, absolutely. We have a formidable safe.
I leave everything there.
Except this. Too sentimental.
I'll sleep better tonight.
What kind of doctor?
- I couldn't help but overhear. - Orthopaedist.
My gain.
I seem to have fractured my wrist.
All right. Careful.
Does it hurt?
No.
Maybe it's just sprained.
Well, I feel much better now.
I'm in good company.
- So what brings you to the city, Dr... - Green.
Business.
That's what men do, isn't it?
Beat their chests. Trying to be gigantic.
And the world just passes you by.
Excuse me?
All these diamonds. They mean nothing. Without love.
- Can I ask you something? - Sure.
Has she given up on you?
- I don't know. - I've given up on mine.
I hope not.
For his sake.
- Bye. - Bye.
Dr. Green. What a pleasant surprise.
You know who she's married to?
Look, man, you got to read the paper.
That king they're trying to overthrow in Egypt or Ethiopia or whatever.
Two floors with enough bodyguards, secret service and reporters...
gonna make your head spin.
Gets a little tricky, doesn't it?
Stephanie said I might be able to find you here.
What are you? My curse?
I got to talk to you, Bobby.
About Sammy Nalo.
You have any idea where he's from? Detroit.
- Only there they call him Sareccho Morelli. - That's very good.
For somebody working in traffic.
Comic books. 40 years old and still trying to fly.
Bobby. He works for the mob.
He used to be a hit man for a guy named Johnny Irish.
Do you know what he does? He cuts off people's fingers.
Ties weights to their ankles and drops them in a lake.
You got to get out of this, Bobby.
You are a broken record.
All my life, you keep showing up saying the same thing over and over.
You're heading for a big fall, Bobby.
And you can't wait, because you're too stupid to make it happen.
You're a crook, Bobby. Look at you. I try to help and you rub it in my face.
Let's make a deal. I won't help you...
and you don't help me.
All I ever wanted was to be treated with respect.
You have to earn that.
Hey, Peterson. Paterson, or hey, what are you, nuts?
Convenience stores? Scrap metal yards?
You know, in all due respect, this guy is small potatoes.
He could never pull jobs off this big.
There was a robbery, all right? Harbour Island Spa.
Same MO. Fake nose. Tuxedos. Detroit Mafia.
Everything is the same.
They're all in prison or they're dead.
Say, where did you say you worked? Traffic and Parking?
I'm telling you, they're planning something.
They're planning a job.
If we're not there, we're going to miss it.
You look terrible. Take a shower before we go out.
Okay.
Okay. Thanks.
Hey, that was my coffee, you knucklehead.
Yeah, I mean, I think he's the King of Egypt.
- He owns a whole country, I know that. - A king?
He's pretty much camped out there.
- And he's got his own police force. - Police force?
Would you stop repeating us?
You said there are no kings.
Siberia.
There's no king of Siberia.
Well, that does it, we can't go in.
Right?
- So we need more guys. - More guys?
Yeah. More guys.
Got him.
Spotted the suspect, he's on the move.
- That's your nephew? - On my wife's side.
He's good.
Let's go.
Well, we got action.
That's him. That's them.
We got them.
Attention, all units, suspects have been spotted at 52nd and 3rd.
Please proceed with caution. Suspect is armed.
What is it with this jerk?
This guy's out for a country ride, Parris. You better be sure this is the right guy.
He's the right guy, believe me.
- You better back off from him... - Parris, I'm telling you, this guy's a jerk.
There's something wrong. I can smell it.
There, see? He's going to rabbit, he sheared off to the right.
Hit the light. I'm going to corner him.
Driver, I want to see your hands right now. I want to see them.
- Get out of the car slow. - That's the wrong damned guy.
It's just ice cream. Some guy paid me $100...
to drop it to the VA Hospital.
Go ahead. Open it.
Some guy paid him $100 to drive ice cream to a VA hospital.
Ice cream?
This is really starting to annoy me.
- How we doing? - Good.
This is City.
- How do you know Sammy? - I told you. We did some jobs together.
We did some jobs together.
Pull over. Now!
- Who is he? - What's the matter with you?
Why was he at the Matador? Why not Greek food? Why not Chinese?
- This is stress, right? - I asked you a question.
- Are we working for someone? - What?
Because I'm not going to risk my life for somebody else.
- Who exactly would that be, Bobby? - You tell me.
Oh, I get it, all right.
- It's because he's Italian, right? - What am I supposed to think?
You're supposed to think for yourself, all right?
In the two years we've been together, you ever see me with somebody else?
No.
Who got to you?
A cop?
Hey, that's what they do, Bobby.
They try to split us up. They try to break the trust.
Put down the phone!
- You said it was open all night. - It was supposed to be, all right?
- Open the safe. - I can't.
Please, the manager, he knows the combination. But he went home.
I swear.
Look, every hotel got a warning.
- It's the first time it's ever been closed. - Blow it up.
- Look, I left my explosives at home, okay. - We could drill it.
You can't drill. That's custom. No way to find the box.
- This place is burnt. - Just shut up!
No, I'm telling you, we're toast.
Here, City, get that.
Run the elevator, make sure nobody bothers us.
I can't.
- Come on. - No.
I really can't.
Take them where they want to go.
They don't make trouble, they don't get trouble.
- I can't. - Get in the elevator.
I mean it, I can't. I have a phobia.
- Listen to me... - Hey! Give me the hat.
- I'm going to throw up. - No, you're not.
This is just a little bump in the road, okay? There you go. Right on.
We don't have to blow it up.
- We don't? - It's not even locked.
Turn the combination, and then it's locked.
- That was good. You did good. - You seem a tad uptight.
- What do you know? - Country.
- Is everything all right? - There might be some trouble tonight.
So, we got orders to check all the hotels.
- Are you all right? - Fine.
This way, Your Highness.
Dr. Green, what a nice surprise.
Maybe this time you can join me for drinks?
I'm on duty right now, ma'am. Sorry.
Of course.
Have a good night.
Perhaps we'll meet another time, Dr. Green.
Of course.
Time to go, fellas.
You people all right?
Sweet Jesus!
Oh, yeah!
Hey.
How much?
Eight...
maybe 10.
What, million?
Yes.
Come on, wake up, boys. We're rich.
Hi, Doc!
Country!
Wake up, man, it's a good morning. You're awake?
That's it. No contact. Not even a post card.
The money should hold you.
We meet back here in a year. Divide up the stones.
Why so long?
Evidence, Einstein. They can't charge what they can't prove.
How we know you're not going to walk with it?
Because he won't.
She saw him, that broad.
She saw you, too.
The sooner we get out of here, the less it's going to mean.
Okay. Let's go.
- Listen, Doc's got me covered. I'll be fine. - All right.
I'm sorry, no. We were blindfolded.
Wish I could help you.
Of all the cockamamie things. Kiwanis?
That's their alibi. Some kind of an awards dinner. It checks out.
Yeah, right. Get real.
Twenty-five people say that Comfort and DiPaolo were there the whole night.
Yeah. Well, I've got witnesses, too, okay?
Look at this. Let me guess.
You didn't see their faces, but they were very, very nice.
How did I know that?
Gentlemen.
Your Majesty?
I'm sorry that I couldn't be of any help.
With all due respect, you weren't even blindfolded.
I'm telling you. People like him.
- That's what makes him a con. - Hey, the press is here.
They want to know why we were on Long Island.
No comment.
They say it's the biggest robbery in the history of the city.
The guy's a crook, not a saint, Parris.
You know, sooner or later, he's going to slip up.
What are you doing here?
I left some money...
under the bed, in a bag.
It's over, Stephanie.
You don't have to believe me.
But I wanted you to know.
Bobby.
Come here.
I got a message for you.
- From who? - From Johnny Irish.
He's happy you're doing so well. He thought you were dead.
- How much does he want? - He wants what you owe.
Stop it. Give me two eyes.
- Two blue eyes. - Look at this. She's a prodigy.
Give your daddy a blueberry?
Thank you.
"Five tuxedoed bandits in a job that takes the nation by storm... "
With the blueberries or the chips?
$10 million?
- I'm going to say it one more time. No! - I'm not asking you to do it.
There are police watching us. The FBl...
The stones are out of their settings. They can't prove a thing...
You think they're not going to try, if you unload $2 million in loose stones?
I'm in trouble.
- You're not supposed to be here. - Bobby, I'm in big trouble.
It just came out of nowhere, all right? Blast from the past.
Who do you owe?
Well, if I tell you, I'm going to have to kill you.
Oh, God! Sammy, all we had to do was wait.
I know.
We'll fence the bracelets.
- The bracelets? - The ones you bought for Thanksgiving.
If those go easy, you can have the rest.
Bobby?
Oh, Mr. Nalo!
Mr. Nalo, what a surprise! Come in.
Here we go. I'm sorry, I didn't expect company.
It's a little bit nasty in here.
Okay.
Bobby, where're you going?
Mr. Nalo, would you like some tea?
That would be wonderful, Peggy.
Peggy. Sit down and I'll get you some.
Take your coat off, and I'm so glad you're here.
Tea! With lots of sugar.
No double entendre intended.
You know the coloured say that. They say, "Give me some sugar, baby. "
- I didn't mean that. - Thank you, Peggy.
Can I call you Sammy?
- Absolutely. - Oh, Sammy.
Oh, your cookies! I forgot your cookies. Just a minute.
You sure that's going to be okay?
Sammy? Bobby?
- Cookies? - No, Ma. Thanks but we're late.
Don't look so worried, Sammy, makes terrible lines.
Thanks, Peggy.
We could take off.
Go to Bolivia. Be like Butch and Sundance.
- We'll live like kings. - They died in Bolivia.
- We could go to Spain. - I don't want to go to Spain.
You're saving my ass.
Well, you saved mine.
Very nice. You get these in New York?
- $200,000? - Fine.
That was easy. You in a hurry?
Hands in the air. Do it, now, Bobby!
- You're under arrest. - I got a receipt for those.
You can't arrest me for stealing something I own.
You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say can and will be held against you in a court of law.
- Hey, Phil... - You have the right to an attorney.
...looks like you finally made it.
And if you can't afford a lawyer...
one will be provided for you at the government's expense.
Have I earned it now?
Nice work, Phil.
I'm sorry about this, Peggy.
- Sammy- - No, no. Back off!
Thanksgiving was really nice.
Oh, Sammy.
- You're in a hurry? - Hey, I got the stuff.
I got the stuff. It's right here.
From the Pierre?
What do you care where it's from?
Yeah, okay, so it's from the Pierre. So what?
In that case, you're under arrest.
Hey, come on now, this is wrong, I'm telling you.
This is entrapment, pal.
Damn!
Have a nice read.
Well, can you imagine?
I mean, a defenceless woman here, alone in the house...
and he breaks in...
and I was taken totally by surprise and...
Well, my heart is still beating, it's going very fast.
It was a little bit exciting, if you must know.
You know, everybody gets a thrill out of a little fiasco from time to time but...
all these handsome policemen.
You know they're not going to find anything.
The day we took the Pierre, the New York Post called us heroes...
saying, "A crime so civilised and grand in scale could only be applauded. "
Which is why I'll always be grateful to Sammy Nalo.
Don't get me wrong, the diamonds help.
But I spent my life chasing diamonds.
In the end, the thing that matters...
is knowing what you were put on this earth to do...
and doing it with style.
- All done, Mr. Comfort? - All done.
My best to the wife, sir.
- So where you want to go for dinner, love? - Take me some place nice.
- How about Tony's? - Yeah.
