[chatter over police radio]
[upbeat music playing]
- [woman] Interpol. Art Crime Unit.
- Through here.
[woman] Thank you.
[officers chatting indistinctly]
[man] I was told to call you
after I found this stone.
[music stops]
[upbeat music playing]
ISTANBUL
[woman] He breaks into impenetrable
museums filled with priceless art.
Yet, he always steals the least
valuable painting in the collection.
[man] Mm. I guess he doesn't
know much about art.
- [woman] Or maybe he does.
- Maybe.
Look, these pieces may have a low value,
but their composition is gorgeous, Ozan.
But if the value is low, why...
You don't need to know that much
about art to catch this thief.
You used to be a narcotics officer.
Maybe just think of it as a drug case.
[upbeat music playing]
What about this comparison?
Say there's an investigation
into a murder.
One where there are no leads,
nothing in common with another crime,
but you find a connection
with a new victim.
The paintings are actually connected.
You got it.
- Great suggestion!
- What's going on?
- Great suggestion! Let's go!
- Let's go where?
- Hurry! Come on, let's go!
- Just tell me where we're going!
BUDAPESAre you both ready to hear what's next?
[man] Why? What's the rush?
Can we please relax?
Take a breather for a second.
- [quiet, dramatic music playing]
- [distant telephone ringing]
- [woman] Ozan!
- [Ozan] Hm?
It turns out our thief
is a romantic person.
- What?
- Look.
[music stops]
Each item is an artwork representing love.
Look!
How come I didn't notice that earlier?
- Although, these two are allegories.
- What is that?
It's when you describe something
using symbols and images.
So, now, we need a list
of all the paintings
about love in art galleries
and inside museums.
There's gotta be thousands.
So I have a way to narrow it.
He only steals artworks which are
undervalued, another pattern of his.
So, our first step is to cross out
works by famous painters, obviously.
It's a lot of paintings
to go through, right?
It is, but one more connection
between all the paintings is
the Fauvism movement they're from.
It's perfect. Narrows down our options.
[Ozan] Hm, that's good.
This guy really had a plan, huh?
But this woman has a plan too.
Put him in a prison cell for good.
All right, so, those are part of a series.
[tense, dramatic music playing]
We're down to these two now.
This one is in a museum in New York,
and this one arrives in Istanbul soon.
[tense music builds]
This one is next.
[chief] Sure, but these are
just assumptions, Alin.
- [music stops]
- Listen, Chief,
this painting will arrive in Istanbul
from a museum transfer in four days.
The museum exhibition will last one day,
and then it will be auctioned.
There are only two options for him.
Either on the day of transfer or at the
museum, that's when he'll take action.
- [Alin sighs]
- [chief clears throat]
Ozan will go with you.
And let's hope that you're right.
But if we put together a bigger squad...
Don't push your luck.
Be thankful I said yes.
Thanks so much, Chief. I'll head out now.
[upbeat music playing]
5 DAYS LATER
MUSEUM OF PAINTING AND SCULPTURE
[beeping]
- [guard] Welcome, ma'am.
- [Alin] Interpol.
- Hello. How may I...
- Uh, has C' L'amore arrived?
Yes, it's here already.
Big risk, but he'll steal it here.
- You think so?
- [man] Excuse me?
- And is it on display right now?
- It's hung in the main hall.
- [Ozan] Can you take us?
- Right this way.
[upbeat music continues]
- [Ozan] It's down here in the first hall?
- [man] Correct, to the right. There.
What's going on, anyway?
[alarm blaring]
Don't let anyone leave the building.
- [guard] Please stay calm.
- [patrons clamoring]
[alarm continues blaring]
Alin! Alin!
[Alin] Damn it!
[groans] God damn it!
Excuse me! Who's in charge here?
[man] Yeah, yeah! Over there!
[tense music playing]
[tense music builds]
[music becomes quiet]
[Alin] Hey!
Hey!
Ozan, stay right here!
I'm going downstairs.
[dramatic action music playing]
[man] Calm down!
Everything is under control.
There is no need to panic.
Yes, we will explain everything.
Please. Please, remain calm.
Please, calm down.
[Alin] Make way! Out of the way!
Excuse me!
Hurry, hurry! It's urgent, it's urgent!
Look. Interpol! Interpol!
It's urgent.
[music builds to a climax]
[music becomes quiet]
[music becomes melancholic]
[news reporter] The disappearance
of businessman Gney Arat
continues to remain a mystery.
Even though the police created
a special task force
with the intentions
of locating the billionaire,
they've had no luck
in tracking him down for three months.
At this point,
the police are now considering
the possibility that
he may no longer be alive.
[melancholic music continues]
[melancholic music becomes dramatic]
[music becomes quiet]
[reporter] Can you
explain why you decided to leave?
- [reporters clamoring]
- [reporter] Why didn't you tell anyone?
- [Gney] I needed to be alone.
- [reporter] What do you mean "alone"?
- [reporters clamoring]
- [melancholic music continues]
FAMOUS BUSINESSMAN APPEARS
AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS!
[music stops]
[typing on keyboard]
[man] Right here.
I'd like to see the footage of the theft.
Whoever did this disabled all our cameras
while they stole the painting.
Then show me what you got earlier.
[suspenseful music playing]
Stop!
That's our suspect, boss.
- Gney Arat.
- [music becomes quiet and dramatic]
The billionaire Gney Arat
is who you're after?
That's right, Chief.
[chuckles] Don't be silly, Alin.
Gney Arat could easily buy
whatever art he wanted,
art worth quite a bit more
than those stolen paintings, I'm sure.
He's a famous, wealthy businessman.
Yes, it sounds ridiculous,
I'm aware of that, but it's true.
I'm positive, I saw him.
With the painting? Right when he stole it?
If you have nothing more than
this picture, there's not much to discuss.
But Chief, please, just...
Look, Alin,
I'm aware of your backstory,
that you both have a history together.
You seem surprised. This is Interpol.
When you came,
I did a bit of digging about your reason
for transferring here from Paris.
I didn't care about why you asked
to be transferred to this city.
I just... thought your departure from Paris
must have happened with good reason.
That's when I learned
of your past with him.
But it won't impact
this case at all, Chief.
Great. I really hope it won't.
All right. You're free to go.
[lively pop music playing]
[electronic beeping]
[woman] Welcome, sir.
[music stops]
- And the chief signed it already?
- Yeah.
So, did you become a police officer
because of that guy?
I'm guessing you found out
about my past, then.
Yeah.
I'm not a police officer because of him!
- Stop, shut the door, and stop this bull!
- All right.
[door shuts]
Okay.
Why, then?
When he vanished, I went to Paris,
and stayed with my mother.
Um... I wanted to clear my mind,
and avoid him in case he reached out.
Interpol hired me as a consultant
to improve their Art Crime Unit.
I enjoyed it
and decided to be a police officer.
- And I joined the Academy. That's it.
- Oh.
I mean it, Ozan.
Believe me, I've got no issue
whatsoever with this guy.
Whatever happened happened, but now,
I couldn't care less. It's behind me.
Since you're grilling me,
I figured I'd tell you everything now.
Okay. Calm down. Just one more question.
Are you positive this dude is our suspect?
Positive.
Then what's the plan?
Quite simple.
I'll just happen to run into him,
slowly get closer...
We'll surely catch him.
You know that's a really dangerous move.
When the two of us broke up,
I was still a history student.
And... he wouldn't know I'm with Interpol.
Oh.
He may be a thief,
but he's not a psychopath, okay?
He won't hurt me, don't worry about it.
All right. All right.
[Alin] Hm.
[dramatic piano music playing]
[enticing music playing]
[inaudible]
- [enticing music continues]
- [inaudible]
[music becomes quiet and dramatic]
Alin?
Gney?
I...
I looked everywhere for you.
Oh, for me?
[inhaling] The way that I remember it,
you were the one that suddenly vanished.
Just hear me out, please.
I'll explain everything, okay?
- Just leave me alone, Gney.
- Alin, please, just let me explain.
There's nothing to explain, though.
It's all in the past,
and I'd rather keep things that way.
[man] Oh, you two have met.
Good to see you, Gney.
Alin is our exhibition curator.
She's the manager
of a prestigious art gallery in Paris.
You're in Paris now, then?
[inhaling]
Great seeing you.
[enticing music resumes playing]
- [Gney] How long will she be in town?
- For two weeks.
[music fades]
How did you find me?
Well, it wasn't easy. I called every hotel
in Istanbul for the entire night.
- [Alin] Hm.
- I had to pull quite a few strings.
Pity, all that trouble for nothing.
Now, if you'll excuse me.
Alin, say yes to one dinner.
Just listen to what I have to say.
And if you don't like it, I'll go away.
You have my word.
Please, Alin.
[inhaling]
Just one meal, okay?
Then I'll get you tonight at seven.
[intriguing music playing]
[music becomes heartfelt]
[Gney] I was scared, Alin.
Scared of marriage,
scared of my love for you,
scared that I might lose you.
So, because you were scared
of losing me, you decided to run away.
I didn't know what I was doing.
I was going through these emotions
for the first time,
and I was so terrified you wouldn't
want to stay with me, it was too much.
And so you left.
I ran away.
From all these emotions,
from you, and everyone,
and everything, I ran away.
Have you ever loved so intensely
that it scared you, Alin?
Yes, I have.
That's how I loved you.
I was scared, too.
Worrying this dream may end,
that you'd abandon me one day,
might not always stand by me.
And every worry became my reality.
I thought you were dead, Gney.
And I did go to hell and back again
for six long months.
I'm so sorry.
I didn't know what to do,
I was completely lost,
I regret what I did.
When I came to my senses, I immediately
called you, but you were gone.
At least you experienced what I
went through to some extent, I guess.
I did.
And I finally realized
that I need you to be in my life.
Alin, give me a second chance.
So you can go and vanish again?
I promise I won't.
I love you so much, and I always have.
Alin, please.
On one condition.
Anything you want.
No matter what the future holds,
you need to be honest from here on out.
Promise.

[music stops]
Vera zmen. [sniffs]
I knew it.
Well, all I gotta say
is that she is the most
beautiful hacker I've ever seen.
Don't be gross, Ozan.
What's wrong? Jealous much?
Jealous of what, huh?
Don't act so dumb.
[upbeat music playing]
Well, all right. Forget I said it.
She's got a Spanish mother
and Turkish father.
Arrived in Turkey three years ago,
and started working with Gney.
She's got quite a criminal record,
but since moving to Turkey,
she looks like she's kept clean.
Incorrect.
She just hasn't been caught yet.
Fair enough.
We couldn't find much about mer.
Gney's had him on
as a chauffeur for years now.
And as an accomplice.
Gney really trusts him.
That's probably why he got him involved.
Okay. Well, get this.
Gney went to a warehouse
right after he saw you.
mer and Vera met him there.
[upbeat music continues]
- They're planning to steal again, Ozan.
- Possibly.
And the plans for the heist
are in that warehouse.
- Possibly.
- [music becomes quiet and tense]
But we're not going to that warehouse.
All right? You gotta promise me.
[suspenseful music playing]
Look what you're making me do, Gney.

- I told you to put your hands up, now.
- [quiet, tense music playing]
Now, take off the mask.
Mask off, now!
[grunts]
[music becomes intense]
[both grunting]
[grunts]
[intense, dramatic music playing]
[music stops]
[exhales deeply]
So what is it that was so urgent, huh?
Someone's on to us.
[mer] What?
What happened? Tell me.
Someone broke in. She was on the computer
but managed to get away.
Did you see what she looked like?
I didn't. She had a ski mask on.
It was definitely a woman.
I wouldn't be surprised if she's with
the police, she fought extremely well.
If she was, she wouldn't have broken in
late at night wearing a ski mask,
she would've raided the place.
But what if she couldn't get
a warrant, or something?
The warehouse would've been
under surveillance.
She would have noticed
that you were inside.
This is just a failed break-in attempt,
that's all it is.
Or maybe you're wrong?
[upbeat music playing]
Nah.
[music becomes lively and intriguing]
Next target will be in Prague, I guess.
[music continues]
[music fades]
Are you gonna keep on staring at me
or what?
Maybe.
I missed you so much, Alin.
I still can't believe you're here with me.
How will I survive two days without you?
Where are you going?
Prague.
[intriguing music playing]
But I don't wanna be away from you.
Why don't I come with you, then?
[sniffs] Mmm...
It's a stupid work thing. You'd hate it.
Don't worry about me.
Who wouldn't like to walk around Prague?
It's exciting.
I'm sure you won't work the entire day.
We can spend some time together.
Uh...
A minute ago, you didn't want us apart.
- I really don't.
- Then make it happen.
- [lively tango-like music playing]
- [chuckles]
Let's do it.
Let's do it.
[music becomes quiet and dramatic]

[music intensifies]
[dramatic action music playing]
[music becomes faint and tense]
[melodic, heartfelt music playing]
[Gney chuckles]
[sighs and exhales quickly]
[melodic, heartfelt music continues]
Did you sleep well?
- Like a happy baby.
- [music stops]
Did I fall asleep downstairs,
or did I sleepwalk?
I honestly don't remember.
I carried you to bed.
I told you to drink slower.
I'm sorry.
Don't apologize to me.
Laying next to you again was great.
Our jet takes off in two hours.
- In two hours? You're kidding!
- Uh-huh.
But it's not enough time! I have to go
back to my hotel, wash up, get dressed.
I haven't even started packing for this.
We can't. It's not possible.
You have your passport,
since you traveled from Paris.
Uh-huh.
Then you're ready to go.
How do you mean?
- [woman] So nice to meet you, ma'am.
- You, as well.
And make sure you pack a nice dress.
If you're ready, then let's get started!
[upbeat pop music playing]
[song fades]
[quiet, dramatic music playing]
This here is my assistant, Vera.
I'm Alin.
So nice to meet you.
Likewise.
I'm so excited! [chuckles]
I'm guessing you'd like your privacy,
so I'll join mer in the front.
Why'd you move? What's going on?
Nothing. Forget it.
[dramatic music intensifies]
PRAGUE
[music becomes lively and adventurous]
[music becomes quiet]
[music becomes intriguing]
[man] Thank you.
Whenever you are ready for it,
we can share a bed again, all right?
My room's right next door...
in case you have a change of heart.
Mental note made, sir.
Appreciate the heads-up.
I'll let you settle in
and unpack your things.
- See you downstairs in one hour.
- I thought you had to work?
Not today.
Huh.
[music fades]
NOVEL GALLERY
PRAGUE
[horn honks]
What's bugging you, Vera?
That woman.
Wait, who? You mean Alin?
Yeah. I can feel it,
something's off about her.
Are you jealous of Alin a little bit?
Don't be stupid, mer.
I mean, he's handsome, smart,
charismatic, as loaded as it gets.
It's totally normal to fall in love.
No, I told you, it's not that.
Will you cut the crap, already?
Fine. What is it, then?
She could be the person
from the warehouse break-in.
Why would she break in there?
You're basing your suspicions on what?
On her eyes. They're the only thing I saw.
[scoffs]
I know it sounds ridiculous, but I can't
stop thinking what if I'm not wrong?
- By the way, do we even know this woman?
- We do.
I've known Alin for a long time.
She's a great person.
And, years ago, Alin was the woman
Gney was engaged to.
Gney's heart changed
and he broke up with her.
Now, she's coming for revenge, huh?
What if she figured out why we're here?
[upbeat, intriguing music playing]
My advice is, spare Gney this nonsense.
Could you even imagine what would
happen if he heard you right now?
[music stops]
[car approaching]
Wait, are we riding in this car?
We are.
[upbeat music playing]
[Alin] Huh.
Hey.
There's no way I'm missing this chance.
Well, let's go, then.
[rock music playing]
[music fades]
[lively pop music playing]
Walk with me
Let's just watch the city
Minds at ease
Feel the breeze
With blue sky we try
Walk with me
To a waterside jubilee
Our symphony is mystery
Close for eternity
- [music continues in background]
- [bell tolling]
I really had a great time today.
Well, who said that today is over?
Now, why don't you change
into that nice dress you picked out?
Where are we going?
It's a surprise.
Where are we going? Tell me!
- Where are we going, Gney?
- Just wait.
Gney, come on! Tell me! Please!
[lively music fading]
[Alin gasps]
What are you doing in here?
You don't reply to my texts
or pick up my calls, I had no choice.
Do you know that what
you just did put us at risk?
Gney might have come in with me!
Oh, really? Was that a possibility?
Ozan, please. That's not what I meant.
You know that perfectly, don't you?
I think we both know
exactly what's going on here.
- Then tell me what's going on.
- You've gone soft on me.
Haven't you?
I don't know if he's winning you over
or if you've fallen in love again.
How dare you accuse me of falling
for him again? Why would you say that?
The chief called me, and he's pissed.
We can't be in Prague
on a mission he never approved.
- He wants us back in Istanbul, ASAP.
- I'm not going anywhere.
I knew you'd say that.
So I did my best to convince him.
[exhales deeply]
But he said this is our last chance.
We need evidence that Gney is the thief
we're after or this whole thing is over.
[lively, dramatic music playing]
ART OF LOVE
Wait, this show...
It took me a while to keep my promise.
I'm sorry.
You did remember.
There's not a thing
I forgot about you, Alin.
I'll make up for all my mistakes.
I'll try hard
to be deserving of your trust again.
[music stops]
Are we a bit early?
Nope. We are right on time.
Let's sit down.
Can you tell me why no one
is in the theater except us?
Because the premiere is next week.
We're gonna watch the dress rehearsal.
I know it's not like the real performance,
but I didn't wanna wait another week.
- Maybe I should've...
- No, no! It's great.
It means so much more this way.
[dramatic tango-like music playing]
Dance with me
Now let's say goodbye
Right the way slow
Stories undone
Take my hand
Take my hand to say hi
Never say goodbye
[music continues]
Dance with me
[music continues]
[song ends]
[crickets chirping]
Tonight, I was reminded
that everything's a dream with you.
With you being my inspiration.
- But I don't remember you being like this.
- [gentle music playing]
Are you always this romantic now?
It's 'cause I found you again.
Gney, you didn't find me.
It's just a coincidence.
There are no coincidences, Alin.
So I made sure
that I found you one more time.
And so you did.
Have a good night.
Have a good night.
Sweet dreams.
Sweet dreams.
[passionate music playing]
- [panting]
- [music fading]
[both panting]
I just can't.
[melancholy music playing]
Why's that, Alin?
I just don't think I can yet.
It's happening too quickly.
I'm sorry.
[door shuts]
[bell tolling]
[music fades]
- [gasps]
- Good morning.
Good morning.
Are you planning on heading out?
First, I have a meeting.
But it won't take too long.
- Let me get dressed, I can walk you out.
- No, take your time.
I arranged a special little outing.
A tour of Prague just for you.
Oh, is that right?
I'll join you if I finish early.
Car's ready.
Downstairs by the lobby, just waiting.
You can head out whenever you want.
[suspenseful music playing]
Ozan!
[thrilling music playing]
Step on it.
[tires screeching]
See what he's doing?
He's hiding his face from the cameras.
- What's going on?
- What the hell is he doing?
- [Alin] He's playing us.
- Yeah, clearly.
[Alin] You go left,
and I'll go right, okay?

my anger, and, man, you're gonna pay.
I'll be quiet!
ISTANBUL
I can't believe he escaped
by the skin of his teeth again!
- Unbelievable! So much shit that I've...
- This was our last chance.
There's no way.
- Not possible.
- And why not?
I can't stop.
When we're this close? I won't.
But Alin, you know the chief.
He made up his mind.
You think he'll change all of a sudden?
Listen, I'm not saying to go
against his orders. But I mean it.
I will do whatever I have to.
- I'll continue on my own if I have to.
- Alin, your entire career is on the line!
- I couldn't care less.
- What do you mean that you couldn't...
- Where are you even going?
- To a private event.
Ah.
[sighs]
You no longer need to know
the details of what I'm up to. I guess.
You really think I'd leave you
on your own in a situation like this?
You troublemaker.
All right, get ready.
[chuckling] Oh my God.
[big-band jazz music playing]
[man laughing]
Paaa! Paaa! Paaa!
Who's that man, there?
Faysal Varl.
Supposedly, a businessman.
But he's a scumbag.
[Alin] So why are we here then?
I am buying his company.
[Alin] Mmm.
[woman and Faysal laughing]
[Faysal] Shake it, come on, baby!
[guests exclaiming]
[Faysal] Good evening, sweetie!
[woman] Oh, I'll be right back.
[Faysal] Mmmm!
[Faysal laughs]
Gney, buddy!
Gney, buddy! [cackling]
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon!
[guffawing]
Bam! [laughs hysterically]
And tomorrow's our day!
We'll sign the documents, huh?
[continues laughing]
It's been great dealing with you.
I'm very happy with what I got.
I hope we'll make more deals!
I am delighted to be working with
a young and talented, incredibly rich guy.
You are incredible! [laughing]
[Gney chuckling] Here.
Let me introduce you. Alin Baar.
Nice to meet you, young lady.
Can I ask you what you do?
I'm a curator at a gallery in Paris.
Oh! Whoa! Hmm.
You know, I have
a very significant collection of, uh...
very rare and unique works of art.
[deep inhale]
Each piece is worth a lot of dough.
Hmm?
Would you like to see my treasure?
[inhales deeply]
[whistles]
We'd love that.
Oh, you're interested
in art as well, right?
Oh, I heard about that, yeah.
Well, let's go, then.
We'll find out which of us
has invested more in our collections.
Gney, buddy.
Let's go.

[Faysal] I've probably spent more money
on this security system right here,
than on the paintings I store inside.
Even banks don't have anything like this.
- There are 78 cameras with motion sensors.
- [intriguing music playing]
As you can observe,
there is no blind spot.
And here is the vault's Swiss-made,
30-centimeter-thick titanium door.
It automatically
deactivates when the lock is forced.
The only way to unlock it
is through the voice
and face recognition sensor right here.
And I'm the only person
that has that power.
Hm.
Like it? Very cool, isn't it?
[Faysal chuckles]
- [automated voice] Sapphire.
- Sapphire.
- [automated voice] Hazelnut.
- [Faysal] Hazelnut.
- [automated voice] Wine.
- Wine.
- [device calibrating]
- [door unlocking]
Well, you guys know the magic words now.
We'll have to murder you.
[Faysal laughs]
I like this joke,
I tell it to everyone. Open it.
Those words change daily,
so don't you worry.
And even if you knew them, they would
still be useless without my voice.
[door creaks]
After you.
[lively, funky music playing]
[beeping]
[bleeping]
[lock clicks]
[door unlocking]
[sighs]
The price of everything
in here is not even known.
[Faysal chuckles]
And this one is back
from when my art director scammed me.
Isn't that a Wassily Kandinsky original?
No idea who that is.
What's that? What does it represent?
[groans] Just a bunch
of lines randomly drawn.
- [whispering] Everything is stolen.
- [Faysal] I wasted a fortune on this.
My ten-year-old draws
much better than this.
Well...
[Gney] Faysal Varl is our next target.
[sputtering and coughing]
Sorry, boss. I almost choked for a sec
with that hilarious joke.
It's not a joke, mer. I'm serious.
[intriguing music playing]
Vera, say something!
Look, it's not like stealing
from a museum.
He'll murder us if we get caught.
I'm with you. But do you think
for one second he'd stop if I asked him?
Mmm? Vera's right.
Now, I agree on one thing, it isn't like
any place we've tried to hit before.
There are more security checkpoints
we'll have to go through.
But, hey, it's not impossible.
[mer] Okay.
Cool! So, lucky us. It's not impossible.
Nothing is impossible,
as you know, dear mer.
There's only not planning it enough,
and not wanting it enough, you get me?
Now, guys, I'd like to walk you through
the security systems we'll encounter.
[Alin] I'm positive. That'll be
the painting that he steals next.
And when he does, even if I have to do
whatever it takes I'm gonna catch him.
I'm not sure.
Bypassing the security system
seems like it'd be incredibly difficult.
You really think he'll try it?
[Alin] Definitely. Without a doubt.
What I'm not sure of is when he'll do it.
Faysal's hosting another event
at his estate this weekend.
That's when we'll break in.
mer, you're gonna head
to his dry cleaner's shop later tonight.
Their security staff uniforms
are dry-cleaned every three days.
We'll hide body cameras on all of them.
I'll take care of setting up
the dupe camera feeds, like I always do.
[lively, intriguing music playing]
The vault where the art is kept is through
a biometric door made of titanium.
Thirty centimeters thick.
You can't open this door
with a combination or with brute force.
It only opens when it
recognizes the correct face and voice.
Obviously Faysal's face and voice.
So then how are we supposed
to get Faysal's face and voice?
One more thing.
Did I add that the words are updated
every day for voice recognition?
- [automated voice] Coffee.
- Coffee.
- Yellow.
- Yellow.
- Emerald.
- Emerald.
[Gney] Thanks to the body cams,
we'll know the randomized passcode.
And here's the cherry on top.
These recordings give us
Faysal's voice sample for the passcode.
Does that answer your question?
Well, I mean, kind of.
But what I'm confused about is,
how are we supposed to get Faysal's face?
Do we just skin him? Or...
Great idea. Although we could stick a gun
to his face and bring him to the door.
- Great idea.
- Not getting nervous, are you?
Why would we be? There's no reason.
After all, it's like you said,
it'll be a piece of cake.
I totally agree.
Have you guys ever watched
Mission: Impossible?
Gney, sure, we've seen that movie,
but this is reality.
Yes, a reality where AI and technology
happen to be incredibly advanced.
To clear the facial recognition
without Faysal,
we'll just use a 3D hologram of his face.
I'm sure you've thought this out,
but this hologram,
how are we gonna make it?
We obviously won't make it.
Ningen, a Japanese AI company,
will design it for us.
- So you're going to Japan for this?
- Of course not.
Their team has already
started working on it.
[electronic bleep]
They're scrubbing the CCTV footage from
the city for high-res images of Faysal
to create a wearable 3D model of his face.
- I should just buy this company, right?
- [lively, intriguing music continues]
Anyway.
This technology here has been used
to test the security
of facial recognition software
for many high-profile companies.
Face ID is now unbreakable
thanks to this company's expertise.
Final thing.
Once I hack in and get the six-digit
passcode required to open up the vault,
we'll be set.
Piece of cake, right?
[dramatic action music playing]
[music becomes suspenseful]
Just hold on. No, don't go that way.
Gney, Faysal is coming your way now.
Move, get out of there.
Gney, listen to me!
Faysal's headed your way, go now, come on!
- [automated voice] Coffee.
- [Faysal on recording] Coffee.
- [automated voice] Yellow.
- [Faysal] Yellow.
- [automated voice] Emerald.
- [Faysal] Emerald.
[dramatic action music resumes]
Gney, come on,
they're almost at the vault.
Listen to me, get outta there, now!
Just listen for once.
[electronic bleeping]
- [electronic bleep]
- [lock clicking]
[music becomes quiet and tense]
[clicking]
[dramatic action music playing]
Get out now!
What are you trying to do, Gney?
Just listen to me.
How are you gonna get out of this one?
[clicks]
We can only enter here with...
my voice and my face.
[bleeping]
Oh, God damn it!
[panting]
- [automated voice] Coffee.
- Coffee.
Emerald.
- [electronic bleep]
- [lock clicks]
[door clicking]
[musical tension building]
[music becomes quiet]
[dramatic action music playing]
[bleep]
[Vera on radio] Gney, they're coming!
They're coming! Get ready!
[bleep]
[bleep]
[whispering] Go upstairs now, sir.
[music fades]
[door creaks]
What's going on?
They turned around.
I don't know. I don't know what happened.
Gney, you have no idea how lucky you are.
There's no such thing as luck, Vera.
[dramatic action music playing]
- [Alin] Stop!
- [music stops]
[Faysal] Let go of her! Let go!
What is this?
We found her trying to get in
over the garden wall.
Wait, hang on, I know you.
- [sighs]
- [Faysal chuckles]
An art gallery in Paris.
As I told your security, someone will
attempt to steal from your vault tonight.
And how would you know about that?
- I'm not disclosing that information.
- [chuckles]
Maybe you're the one
who was trying to rob me.
And you're denying it
because you were caught.
I'm not a thief.
Who are you, really?
Huh?
Let go.
Release her.
Interpol Art Crime Unit.
[chuckles faintly]
Wow, you're a cop.
[snickers]
Does Gney know about all this?
Huh?
Did the two of you
plan this trap together, then?
No, Gney has no clue.
I used him to get close to you
to gain access to your property.
There is no trap, you get it?
I need you to take me down
to see your vault immediately.
[chuckling]
Oh, sure.
Look, young lady, this house is protected
better than the Louvre.
Weren't you paying attention
when I told you that before,
or did you already forget?
Whoever you think is breaking in...
Sorry, whoever you think
is trying to break in,
is going to end up caught in my trap!
Just like you are now!
[chuckles]
I'm thinking
you're after my illegal
historical artifacts.
- Hm.
- [alarm on cell phone]
[dramatic action music playing]
Don't let her go.
What's going on?
[Alin yelps]
[quiet, dramatic music playing]
[Faysal sighs]
- All right.
- [squeals]
Come here!
[gasps]
Who?
Who is it that's crazy enough
to steal what belongs to me?
- Tell me, or...
- Or what?
[coughing]
Give me a name.
I haven't the slightest idea
who's behind this. You hear me?
You don't know who it is, but...
you know where they're going to hit.
Young lady,
are you seriously messing with me?
All right, party's over.
Kid, why don't you drop that gun?
No one do anything stupid.
- You good?
- [music stops]
- Right, Faysal, the crime scene, where...
- There is no crime.
[Ozan] What?
[Faysal] And I didn't call you.
If you don't have a warrant,
please, leave my home, go on.
Ozan, let's go.
I'll take my gun.
[huffs]
I want this man found.
[lively music playing]
I chased this guy for years
when I was in Narcotics. I know this guy.
He's a prick,
deals in all kinds of nasty stuff.
You know, drugs, guns, murder, yeah?
You really don't wanna
mess around with him, you hear me?
[music becomes quiet]
Promise me
that you won't go near him again.
You hear me?
Alin?
[music fades]
[Alin gasps]
[intriguing music playing]
[snickering]
I wanted to thank you
for your help in person.
Gney Arat. Hm?
Stay away from him or I swear I'll...
What?
Ah, that's right. I thought so.
[dramatic action music playing]
Alin Baar.
- [woman] Welcome, Ms. Baar.
- I'm in a rush!
[woman] Of course, I'll let you up.
[inaudible dialogue]
[guard] We're here to see Gney.
[woman] Uh, sure. Let me call him.
[telephone ringing]
Gney!
Gney!
- [panting]
- [music fades]
There's something I have to tell you.
That you're working with Interpol?
Or that you ran into me
on purpose to catch me?
Which were you gonna say, Alin?
[moody music playing]
You knew?
I've actually known this whole time.
I made sure you'd run into me,
I planned it all.
You set me up, but why?
I never ran away from you, Alin.
In Mexico, I got caught and was arrested.
And thrown into a really horrible prison.
It took me almost six months
to get out of that place.
But I couldn't tell anyone what happened,
so I staged that fake press conference.
Then I was gonna come and tell you
what had really happened,
yet you were nowhere to be found.
Alin, you left no trace behind.
I gotta admit, I struggled to find you.
But when I finally discovered
what you were doing, I was heartbroken.
You were now working as an Interpol agent,
and as fate would have it,
in the Art Crimes Unit, as well.
I couldn't have told you the truth,
even if I wanted to.
That's why I made this plan.
If I just admitted that I was a thief,
I never would've stood a chance with you,
but if I made you track me down,
and showed you that you still loved me,
I might have a small chance.
Even if you knew
that I was really a thief.
But how did you expect
to get me to track you down?
[Gney] I left behind clues that I thought
only you would understand.
And then, I let you see me.
[dramatic music playing]
Hey!
[mer] I'm sorry I went ahead and did this
without asking you first, boss.
But when Vera got suspicious, so did I.
[Vera] I wish I wasn't right,
but she's with Interpol, Gney.
And she's investigating us.
[Gney] I know.
- [Alin laughs softly]
- [music becomes moody]
Plus, you knew that nobody
would believe a word of my story.
Because I never left any evidence.
I waited for you to run into me,
and you eventually did.
So you basically were just
playing me this entire time, Gney?
I played you just like you played me.
[lively music playing]
[music stops]
All right,
we'll have this conversation later.
Because right now,
I suggest we get outta here, Gney.
Well, as long as we stay up here,
he can't get to us.
Better believe he knows it.
He's trying to intimidate me
and show that he's on my tail.
He'll eventually catch you,
I hope you understand.
This man is really dangerous,
more than you can comprehend.
What's the plan then?
- Let's go to the police, okay.
- [laughing]
Why are you laughing?
Only way I'll go to the cops
is if you arrest me, Alin.
If I had the smallest piece of evidence
proving you did it, you bet I would.
If it's all the same,
I can take care of myself.
No way, I'm not leaving you.
Can you just stop smirking?
I'm not doing this out of love,
but because I feel responsible for this.
Faysal knows because you gave me up?
Of course not, I didn't say anything.
He broke into my room and found out.
Looks like you have to protect me, then.
Yeah, I guess. If I can. They'll chase us
the minute we go through this door.
Then I guess we're not
going through that door.
- Come with me.
- Gney, this is not a game, okay?
It's not a game, okay? What are you doing?
They're waiting for you!
- They're downstairs!
- Just come with me!
[lively music playing]
[action music playing]
[music builds to a climax]
[music fades]
[birds chirping and cooing]
[latch clicks]
[Gney] So... here's the evidence
you've been looking for.
Seriously?
But why on earth would you keep
priceless art stored in a cabin
with the keys in plain sight?
Gney, don't look at me
while you do it. I can't watch.
[Alin sighs]
Now, no more secrets
between the two of us.
All of this is just a game
for you, isn't it?
You don't even take
your own life seriously anymore.
And what difference would it make?
Seriously.
Would acting scared fix anything?
It wouldn't change
what's ahead of us or behind us.
And so...
I figured I should enjoy every minute...
while I'm lucky enough.
[wistful music playing]
What are you enjoying right now, Gney?
Simply being here with you.
[wistful music continues]
[utensil clinks]
[exhales deeply]
[music fades]
How come?
It's difficult to explain,
it may not make sense to you.
But I can give you
my justification for all of this.
All right. Then go ahead.
My grandpa.
From my mom's side.
He was a painter.
My fascination with art comes from him.
This was his house.
I used to hang out in here and watch him
paint all summer long as a kid.
He was an amazing painter.
But his talent was never recognized.
[moody music playing]
Just like so many
great painters before him.
He eventually died sad and unfulfilled.
And so that inspired you
to become a thief, then.
No. That's just one reason, I've got more.
You remember... when we first met,
you told me how the Mona Lisa was only
truly appreciated after it was stolen.
[Alin] Modigliani is an incredible artist.
However, is everything he does
a work of art?
- Well, obviously, you don't think so.
- No! I'm just posing the question.
Look at the Mona Lisa.
We know it's the highest priced
and most famous painting ever.
But it only got everyone's attention
once it got stolen.
That's when it got recognition.
Before it was stolen,
it was a fairly unremarkable work of art,
even though it was one of da Vinci's.
I'm sorry,
you became a thief because of what I said?
Might've inspired me.
At that time in my life,
nothing was enough.
I wasn't enjoying anything.
This may make me sound full of myself,
but being able to have everything
you want is not as great as it seems.
Oh, you poor thing. Instead,
it made you more and more insatiable?
Actually, it did.
You can't imagine what it's like
to never find joy in anything.
I started doing all the extreme sports
you can think of. I'm serious, all of 'em.
For a while it worked.
Until it was no longer enough.
I needed to find something bigger,
more thrilling.
That's when I ran into you.
When you talked about art's value,
I knew this was the adventure
I'd been seeking.
Oh, come on, Gney.
I'm not responsible for your actions and
behavior, don't blame me, not acceptable.
I'm not saying it's because of you, Alin.
All I'm saying
is that we all have a dark side.
Just as you showed your dark side
the night you broke into my warehouse.
This is mine.
I'm not perfect.
As a matter of fact, no one is.
Throughout all of this,
I haven't hurt a single person.
- Fine.
- [moody music stops]
All right.
I guess you know everything.
And you have your evidence.
What will you do?
[glass shatters]
[lively music playing]
[gas hissing]
- [Gney] Wow, that's really sexy.
- You told me no one knew about this place.
Hurry, get up, Gney!
[gun fire]
- [chuckling]
- [gunfire]
[gunfire]
You gonna keep ignoring my question?
We have to find a way
to get out of here, right now!
I'm not moving
until you give me an answer.
Come on, now's not the time!
Stop it! Hurry, come with me!
[gunfire continues]
[lively music continues]
- [gunfire]
- [grunts]
[Faysal] I want both of them alive.
[gunfire]
[gunfire]
I'd love to hear your answer.
Will you stop acting
like a child and shut it?
[gunfire]
I'm still waiting for your answer.
Oh, please, God, help me out.
[sighs] Please, God, help me, please!
Come on, let's go!
[gunfire continues]
When this is over,
you'll answer my question, right?
Just shut up, Gney! Just shut up!
[lively music continues]
[music becomes tense]
Why didn't you say
we're running towards a dead end?
[Gney] Because you wouldn't let me speak,
you've been dragging me around.
[Alin] You gotta be kidding, Gney.
What are we gonna do now?
[Gney sighs]
Oh, God.
[music fades]
All right, Alin, come on, answer.
You still love me, I know it.
- Actually, I don't.
- You do.
If that wasn't the case,
you'd have responded
to my question immediately, right?
I told you, I don't.
What part don't you understand?
Yeah, I know you still do.
- [gun blast]
- [Alin screams]
Let us finish talking,
then I'll take care of you...
- [Gney groans]
- [Alin screams]
[Alin] Faysal, please!
Calm down, Faysal! Faysal, please!
Now I can't hear her answer to my question
because of what you just did.
[Ozan] Faysal!
Put your hands up, right now!
- Ozan?
- [Ozan] Take them away.
How did he...
[Ozan] Drop your weapon.
Faysal.
[lively music playing]
[rapid bleeping]
[camera shutter clicking]
[Ozan sighs]
Thank you for agreeing to meet.
I don't have a lot of time,
so make it quick.
[inhales deeply]
As an ex-Narcotics officer,
you might want this.
I'm sure you'll find a use
for the information on it.
If you want it,
I need something in return.
[music ends]
Come here.
I've wanted to put you
behind bars for a long time.
[Ozan and Faysal grunt]
How's it going?
It's fine.
Guess I, uh, called it, huh?
Knew you'd get back together.
So if we get back together, you'll let me?
Yeah, I mean, I got what I came here for.
I know that he stole a bunch of fancy art.
But he seems harmless enough.
Not really my cup of tea.
So I'll leave the ball in your court.
Cuff him or don't, it's up to you.
And thanks for your help.
- It's my ear, I can't hear...
- All right, you're fine, just...
I'm not gonna turn you in.
What?
I will not turn you in.
Sorry, but what are you saying?
I love you.
[romantic music playing]
I know.
Wait a second.
I mean, how's this gonna work?
Like, you and me?
We'll figure something out.
[romantic music building]
