[DRAMATIC INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC RISING]
[LIVELY, RHYTHMIC MUSIC PLAYING]
[BRAKES SQUEAK]
[MUSIC DIES DOWN]
That's the last jewel of the lot.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES]
[BOX SNAPS CLOSED]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC FADES]
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
- Where have you been?
- Is that the last of the jewels?
Polignac just dropped off the
Elena of Savoy diamond tiara.
[VAULT DOOR CLOSES HEAVILY]
The vault will remain closed for the
next 15 hours until the appraisal.
[KEYPAD BEEPS]
[SCANNER HUMS, BEEPS]
[VAULT DOOR LOCKS]
Thank you, Alain.
[SOFTLY] Just perfect timing.
That's our cue, everyone.
You disappeared for two full
days. Where have you been?
Exploring the city.
Mrs. Polignac has also been
away for the past two days.
Coincidence, perhaps?
You were with her, right?
That's why you got here so late.
You told me you wouldn't
put us in any danger.
But you did it anyway.
Stop acting like a jealous
girlfriend. What's wrong with you?
Have you removed our cameras
from Polignac's apartment?
No.
I wasn't expecting to steal the
jewels for another two nights.
And you say I'm the
one putting us in danger.
I'll take care of the cameras
while you weld the antechamber,
even though it's not my job.
Everyone, suit up.
[DRAMATIC STRING MUSIC PLAYING]
[DISINFECTANT MIST HISSES]
All right. I've started recording
a loop of the full vault.
Let me know when you're ready,
and I'll put it up on the
security guards' monitors.
[PHONE RINGING]
[ALAIN] Hello?
- It's for you, sir.
- Okay. Thanks.
François Polignac.
[DISINFECTANT MIST HISSES]
Keila, in position.
- Antechamber loop, ready.
- [CONTROL PANEL BEEPS]
All good.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
[POLIGNAC] Looking forward
to it. That'll be perfect.
Yes. Thanks for calling.
Have a nice evening. Goodbye.
Thanks.
We're ready to enter the vault, Keila.
- Ready.
- Cameron.
[CRANE WHIRRING]
Leave each box exactly
where you found it.
They can't be moved. Not even an inch.

[SOUNDS DISTORT]
[MUSIC STOPS ABRUPTLY]
They must be in exactly the same
position when Keila stops the loop.
Let's do it.
[ENERGETIC INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING]
[CHUCKLES]
Exhibit 26.
Exhibit 56.
[CAMERON] Exhibit number five.
Exhibit number 59.
Exhibit 46.
[ROI] Exhibit number 53.
[DAMIÁN] Exhibit 23.
[CAMERON] Exhibit 36.
Eleanor of Avignon.
[BERLIN] Exhibit 39.
Beatrice of Bologna's necklace.
That, my friends, is
something worth living for.
[DAMIÁN HUFFS]
Oh yeah? What would you
know about worthiness?
You're the kind of asshole who, after
three days in Paris with a woman,
destroys ten years of a happy marriage.
[NERVOUSLY] Exhibit 62.
[DAMIÁN] Who seduces
her out of pure conceit,
making her believe that
what she has is worthless.
This affair is not conceit.
I am hopelessly in love with this woman.
Show some respect.
Get a grip on yourself.
What kind of love would destroy a life?
Exhibit 11.
[DAMIÁN] How can you call it
love when everything is a lie?
Your name. Your phone number.
And in two days, you'll
disappear, and she'll have nothing.
I would never refuse
a single moment of love
just because I knew that
the relationship would end.
And when it ends, I will
sink into an abyss of pain.
But until then, I will be alive.
Here. The last deposit.
You're just a selfish
bastard. A sick egomaniac.
Is this relationship worth
all the pain it'll cause?
Of course it is.
Five minutes with
Camille has more passion
than in 20 years of that
masquerade you call a marriage.
And poor, sweet Carmen only hangs around
because she hasn't found anyone better.
[GRUNTS]
[CLATTERING INSIDE VAULT]
- [PANTING]
- [TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
Did you hear that?
What exactly, sir?
I heard something inside.
It's probably just the metal
expanding. It happens sometimes.
Careful. They just heard you.
[TENSE MUSIC PULSATING]
You see? There's nothing.
- [MUSIC DIES DOWN]
- Open it.
Once the vault is closed, we can't
open it for another 15 minutes.
No, I mean the antechamber.
See if everything's okay.
They're going to the antechamber.
Bruce, Cameron, you gotta shut it down!
- Go, go!
- [SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
[SWITCH CLICKS]
[CRANE WHIRRING]
[READER BEEPS]

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC BUILDING]
Loop off.
[DOOR SQUEAKS OPEN]
[LOW, TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
[BREATHING SHAKILY]
[ANTECHAMBER DOOR CLOSES HEAVILY]
Everything's fine.
- Yeah. I saw that.
- I can override the vault lock.
Oh my God. They're gonna open the vault.
[TENSE MUSIC RISING]
- [PHONE RINGING]
- [MUSIC CUTS OUT]
That won't be necessary.
- I'm heading home. Good night, Alain.
- Good night, sir.
[KEILA] Polignac's leaving.
- [SIGHS]
- [EXHALES SHARPLY]
Good night.
Bertrand.
[KEILA] He's at the main
entrance. Going home.
Proceed. [SIGHS]
[TENSE MUSIC RESUMES]
I'll finish the job because of the kids.
But this is our last score together.
Once we have secured all
the jewels from the vault,
then Roi and I will take everything
to the hotel while you
dismantle the setup.
[ENERGETIC LO-FI MUSIC PLAYING]
We have four hours to leave
everything like we found it.

[THEME SONG FADES]
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
- [KEY CARD READER BEEPS]
- [DOOR OPENS]
I put all the jewels in Damián's room.
[BERLIN] Hmm.
- He's asleep now.
- [MUSIC INTENSIFIES]
[BERLIN] Let's go.
[LOCK RATTLES]
[LOCK CLICKS OPEN]
[QUENTIN WHIMPERS, BARKS]
[WHISPERS] Come here,
fella. That's it. Shh.
[QUENTIN WHINES, SCAMPERS AWAY]
[BREATHING THROUGH MASK]
[TENSE MUSIC BUILDING]
[POLIGNAC SNIFFS]
- [QUIETLY] Let's go.
- [TENSE MUSIC FADES]
Once we have all the jewels, we
backtrack and erase our steps.
We leave everything
exactly as we found it.
We weld back the steel slab.
[TORCH CRACKLING]
We finish and polish the
steel, then add a coat of paint,
leaving the vault perfectly sealed.
[GRINDER WHIRRING]
The final act of our magic show.
If nobody can prove we
ever entered the vault,
then how can we be considered suspects?
- All done except the bedroom.
- I'll take care of the bedroom.
You take these and
dispose of them carefully.
Are you sure about this?
What?
The chloroform wasn't part of the plan.
Damián's right.
Your affair is compromising the job.
[QUIETLY] What's this?
Does my apprentice disapprove?
You, judging me?
I appreciate it when
my dog shows character.
But it seems to me you have
forgotten when you were, hmm,
holding up gas stations
with a pocket knife?
[ROI GRUNTS]
And one more thing,
my illiterate friend.
Don't you ever judge me again.
Get out of here.
You do your part of the
plan, and I'll do mine.
[SOFTLY] Come here, little doggy.
Come here. You're such
a nice dog. So pretty.
Come with me. Come on. This way.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC FADES]
- [CRICKETS CHIRPING]

- [TENSE MUSIC SWELLS, FADES]
- [ENGINE STARTS]
And once everything is
done, we leave it spotless.
- [VACUUM WHIRRING]
- [ENERGETIC, RHYTHMIC MUSIC RESUMES]
And when do we remove
the security cam relays?
Once that's done, they'll
see us on the monitors.
Unless, of course,
something unexpected happens.
Something we call the
pièce de résistance.
Under the auction house runs
a high-voltage power line.
Buried under the streets of Paris.
With a capacity of 20 kilovolts.
If we connect it to the building's power
and bypass the differential switch,
it will generate such a
massive surge of electricity
that everything in the
auction house will be fried.
However, before our pièce de résistance,
we will need to create
a small diversion.
We will call the security guards,
pretending to be from headquarters.
And, as you all know, we'll
be asked for passwords.
They give their password,
and you give yours.
[DAMIÁN] And by that time, Keila
will have memorized them all.
- [CONTROL PANEL BEEPS]
- [LINE RINGING]
Attention, this is HQ calling. Password?
Big Bunny, 33. Yours?
North Pole, 74.
What's wrong?
We've just picked up unusual
activity outside of the building.
Suspicious individuals
entering next door.
Requesting immediate
intervention to investigate.
On it.
[BERLIN] So when the police ask them
if they were in front of their monitors
for the entire evening,
they'll have to say,
"We were away two, maybe three minutes."
Then they'll start to think, "Did
they use the back door to get in?"
- Alain?
- I got a call from HQ.
- What's going on?
- [ALAIN] Follow me.
Call the others.
[TENSE, ENERGETIC MUSIC PLAYING]
[BERTRAND] Alain.
There's nothing.
[TENSE MUSIC SUBSIDES]
[BERLIN] And at that moment,
at three in the morning,
we're gonna create such a buzz,
it'll blow our boys
in uniforms' hats off.
[ELECTRICITY CRACKLES]
- [ALAIN] Whoa!
- [POWER THRUMS, FADES]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
[ELECTRICITY CRACKLES]
[EXTINGUISHER SPRAYS]
Bertrand? Hey! Bertrand,
can you hear me?
Not only will we bring
the entire surveillance
system crashing down,
we'll also disable the system
that opens the vault doors.
- [BERTRAND] Alain, everything okay?
- [ALAIN] It's stuck.
- What?
- It's stuck.
What do you mean, "stuck"? Try again.
[ALAIN] Shit.
[DAMIÁN] They'll have
to call the technicians.
If you take into account the time
and the fact that the
company is in Geneva,
it will take them six or seven hours
before they can open the vault.
Best-case scenario.
And so, we can continue working
without a care in the world
to remove the relays.
[UPBEAT, FUNKY MUSIC PLAYING]
Time to close up shop.
[ROVER WHIRS]
[TORCHES SIZZLING]
All sealed.
[CELL PHONE RINGING]
[ALARM BEEPING]
[BERLIN] Once we've
finished with the wiring,
time to move on to the masonry.
[DAMIÁN] We will seal up the
entrance to the service area
and leave it exactly as we found it.
We will use antique bricks
identical to the ones we demolished.
And inside the tunnel, we
will leave all our equipment.
The crane, the pulleys, the two-pole
motor, the diamond slicer
- The rover.
- Mm. The rover.
Then we seal up the tunnel.
It'll be like burying the
logistics aspects of our plan.
Can you imagine the feeling of
someone who discovers all this
500 or 600 years from now?
Heist fossils from another age.
We will have our place in history.

[HIGH-ENERGY ROCK GROOVE CONTINUES]
[BERLIN] By the time we will have
finished, it'll be early morning.
We'll return to our
hotel in separate groups.
That night, you will
remain in your rooms.
No one leaves.
Well, I can't crawl into
a deep hole fast enough ♪
You won't listen but I'm
never gonna give you up ♪
[DAMIÁN] The next day, we
all check out separately.
Between 9:00 and 10:00 a.m.
We don't wanna raise any
suspicions by leaving at night.
[BERLIN] Before then, we
will pack all the jewels
and clean our rooms meticulously.
'Cause I'm blinded by the sun ♪
[BERLIN] We cannot leave any
evidence. And no loose ends.
Blinded by the sun ♪
[STEAM CLEANER HISSING]
Well ♪
- [SONG ENDS]
- [KNOCKING ON DOOR]
I have a loose end. We need to talk.
Right now?
I need your help. Let's go.
I'm in my pj's.
- Okay. Let me in.
- No.
- Just for a moment.
- Not now.
Please. Just for a minute. C'mon.
Let me in.
[CAMERON] Hey, Bruce.
I can't leave Paris.
Yes, you can.
- We're all leaving tomorrow.
- I don't think so.
I went to the bike rental
place to get my passport,
but they have an alarm.
So I came back for you.
In case I fuck up.
The instructions are very
clear. We can't leave.
So what do I do? Sit back and relax?
They have a scan of my passport.
Fake, but with this kisser. My kisser.
Well, imagine after stealing
44 million in royal jewels,
we get nabbed for breaking
into some seedy car rental?
Imagine we get nabbed for not doin' it.
- Keila.
- No.
- It'll be super easy.
- No.
You deactivate the alarm, we
go in, you hack the computer,
and we're outta there. Much
easier than stealing jewels.
What do I tell Cameron?
She's friends with Damián.
What if she snitches?
- Just tell her we're going out.
- What if she wants to come?
She's game for anything.

What if he tells Berlin?
I got this.

Roi, can you leave us
the room for a while?

[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
- What for?
- Because, um
We're gonna fuck.
[CHUCKLES AWKWARDLY]
I think you should go for a walk.
A really, really long walk.
I'll take off the do not disturb
sign once we're done. Okay?
We good? [PATS SHOULDER]
[KEILA] Well, maybe we
won't go all the way.
You never know.
I'm not really the type
who plans things in advance.
You know. Go with the

Some hugs, some kissing. You know.
We'll see what happens.

Would you mind, um, if I slept here?
What are you thinking?
You wanna share a hot bed

so you can leave your toxins everywhere?

Well, well. Mr. Lieutenant.
So, tonight, would you
prefer the corridor,
or would you like to come inside?
Tonight, I'd prefer to be inside.
[FUNKY MUSIC PLAYING]
I'm sleeping here.
You're sleeping here?
Hang on. [SCOFFS]
Let me get this straight.
Are you telling me that, after
successfully stealing millions,
we are the only two people
who are not going to celebrate?
Yes. You're absolutely right.
[MUSIC FADES]
And who are you?
I'm just curious to find out.
[ROI SIGHS]
Like, what is that glove hiding?
Driving glove.
Oops. Sorry.
And what are these
driving gloves hiding?
A past life as a child thug?
A tough guy from skid row?

What's this peeking out?
A tentacle.
Oh!

To unleash the slumbering

And tomorrow, you can go back to

You know what?
What?
Maybe I'm tired of being
Berlin's obedient bitch.
So tonight, it's time
to pump up the voltage.
And how does one pump up the voltage?
It depends on your level of craziness.
Tonight, I'd say I'm at [SIGHS]
nine out of ten.
Well, I'm at 10.7 and increasing.
