I'm sorry. Mr. Ford, sorry.
I know who you are.

I've... Excuse me.
I've read all about you.

I know, for example, that when you
found that stolen Monet painting

in Florence, you probably saved your
insurance company,what, $20, $25 million?

Then there was
the identity theft thing.

You saved your insurance company I don't
even know how many millions of dollars.

But I just know that
when you needed them...

What happened to your family
is the kind of thing...

You know this part of the conversation where
I punch you in the neck nine or 10 times,

we're coming up on
that pretty quick.

I just want to
offer you a job.

What have you got?

Do you know anything
about airplane design?

I can give it a sh*t. You know, you give
me a pencil and one of those little rulers.

Somebody stole
my airplane designs.

Oh, I see. And you'd like me
to find them, right?

No. I know
where they are.

I want you to
steal them back.

You're sure
Pierson stole your designs?

Look, my engineer goes missing.
He disappears with all my files.

And then one week later,Pierson
announces an identical project? Come on.

I don't know, stealing them back,
it seems like a stupid risk.

There's other ways that you...
Listen, listen, listen to me.

At the end of this month I have a
shareholders' meeting, Mr. Ford.

I've spent already five years,
$100 million on our idea.

I go to that meeting with nothing
to show for it, then I am dead.

Look, I'm serious. Look, look at
the people I've already hired.

I mean, do you recognize
any of these names?

Yeah. I've chased
all of them one time or...

Parker? You have Parker?

Is there somebody better?

No. But Parker is insane.

Which is why
I need you.

No. I'm not a thief.

Thieves I got. What I need is one
honest man to watch them.

Are you in?

It's not gonna work. These people you
hired, they all have the same rep.

They work alone. They always work
alone. There's no exceptions.

There's no way they're
gonna work for you.

No, they will, they will.
For $300,000 each, they will.

And for you, for running it,
it's double that.

And it's off the books,
completely off the books.

Look at me,
I'm desperate here.

That's just a salary.
There is a bonus.

Pierson is insured by IYS,
your old bosses.

It's a $50 million intellectual
property rights policy.

Mr. Ford, how badly do you want to screw
the insurance company that let your son die?

Okay, clear coms.

No. No, no, no, no. No. Hell, no.
This equipment is total VH1, bra.

It's best of the '80s.
I got something nicer.

All right.
No surprises, now.

I've been doing this since high
school,bra. I'm Captain Discipline.

They came straight from
the airport and up to their rooms.

So you never actually
saw any of them, then.

But the credit card
numbers checked out.

Break it down!

Does that look like
Mick Jagger to you?

This is not the room
you're looking for.

It's a bone conduction
earpiece mic.

It works off the vibrations
in your jaw.

You can hear everything.

You're not as useless
as you look.

I don't even know
what you do.

I'm here to collect
the merchandise.

Can I have one?

You can have the whole box.

What are you gonna do when she
finds out you live with your mom?

Age of the geek, baby.
We run the world.

Hmm. You keep telling
yourself that.

You thought I
wouldn't find this?

You don't get bunny
until you do what I say.

So be a good girl.

Or, I don't know,
a better thief.

Bill!

Last time I used this rig,
Paris, 2003.

Is this thing safe?

You talking about the Caravaggio?
You stole that?

Yeah, it's completely safe.
It's just...

You know, if you experience nausea,
weakness in your right side,

stroke, strokiness...

You're precisely
why I work alone.

Guys, listen up. We're gonna go on
my count, not a second sooner.

Parker, no freelancing.

Hey, relax. We know what
we're doing.

And on the count
of five, four...

Oh, he doesn't
wanna be our pal.

We're on the count.
Five, four, three...

She's gone.

Son of a...

That's 20 pounds of crazy
in a five-pound bag.

Vibration detectors are on.

No cutting, Parker.
Use the binary.

You know, Parker, any time
you want to... Whoa!

Boys are on their way.

What are you getting with
security? You see security?

They don't see a thing.

Door's open.

All right, guys. Showtime.
Here we go.

Here.
Got it.

Okay. You got any chatter
on their frequencies?

No. Why?

There's eight listed on the duty roster
and there's only four at the guard post.

I can't even tell how many guys are in
the room. How can you tell who's who?

Haircuts, Parker.
Count the haircuts.

I would have missed that.

- What?
- Nothing.

Problem?

- Uh... Maybe.
- Run the cameras.

Ten-digit password.
I salute you, sir.

Got 'em. They're doing their
walkthrough an hour early. Why the...

Because it's the playoffs.

Yeah, game 5
of the playoffs.

They're doing their rounds an hour
early so they can watch the playoffs.

All right,
where are they?

They're at the stairwell.

Okay.

Hey!
Got a security breach.

Hey, get them on the radio
upstairs. Go, go!

Okay, guys, here's what we
gotta do. We gotta squelch them.

Eliot, what I want you to do is clear
the zone and use Hardison as bait.

Bait? What...
Hold up, hold up. Wait a minute.

I know he ain't talking about me.
I ain't nobody's bait.

Come on, baby. Come on,
work for me, baby. Come on.

Base, come in.
Does anyone copy?

Hardison,
they're almost there.

Come on, baby. Come on.
Just come on, man.

Forget it.

Hold it right there.

That's what I do.

Guys, guys, you gotta talk to me, okay?
Because I don't know what's going on.

It's all good.
I'm stripping the drives right now.

Come on, baby.

We got all the designs, got all the
backup. We're leaving this cupboard bare.

Drop the spike.

Did you give
them a virus?

Dude, I gave them more
than one virus.

Problem. Those guards you ganked?

They reset all the alarms on
the roof and all the floors above us.

We can't go up.

Every man for himself, dude.

Go ahead. I'm the one
with the merchandise.

Yeah, well, I'm the one
with an exit.

And I'm the one with a plan. Now, I know
you children don't play well with others,

but I need you to hold it together
for exactly seven more minutes.

Now, get to the elevator
and head down.

We're going to
the burn scam.

Going to plan B.

Technically, that
would be plan G.

How many plans do we have?
Is there, like, a plan M?

Yeah. Hardison dies in plan M.

I like plan M.

I thought we locked down
those elevators.

Hey, hey, stay still,
stay still. Don't move.

Nice. Why don't you
stare a little more?

Sorry.
You gotta be kidding me.

No, Tom.
It's okay.

No, it's not.

- Sorry. Sorry.
- I understand.

Oh, I'm sorry.
Get the door. Come on.

Let me
help you with the door.

Uh, again,
sorry, ma'am.

Come on, come on, this is
only taking all night. Come on.

I got a couple of Wi-Fi networks
with some crappy bandwidth.

There you go.
The designs are sent.

All right. All right. The money will
be in all your accounts later today.

Anybody else notice how hard
we rocked last night?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, well,
one show only. No encores.

I already forgot your names.

It was kind of cool
being on the same side.

No, we are not on the same side.
I am not a thief.

You are now.
Come on, Nathan. Tell the truth.

Didn't you have a little bit of fun playing
the black king instead of the white knight?

Just this once?

Yeah?

You screwed me!
The designs never got to me.

No, I watched them go out.

I don't know what you saw,
but I received nothing.

Look, I told you,
you couldn't trust them.

It is not my job
to trust anybody.

That's what you
were here for.

I'm freezing the payments.
I'm freezing all the payments.

All right. Look, look.

I will come over there right now,
we'll straighten this out.

No, no, no, no, no.
Do not come here.

My company has an old aircraft
facility outside the city,

and I will text you the address,
and you be there in one hour.

You want to tell me what
happened with the designs?

What makes you think
I know what happened? Stupid.

Forget you, man. You did it, okay? When
we were coming down from the elevator.

Yeah, that makes sense, doesn't
it? You had the file every second.

Hold up, Cujo, I did my part.
I transferred the files.

You better get that g*n out
of my face. What did you do?

Hey!

Did you do it? You're the only
one that's ever played both sides.

Yeah, you seem pretty relaxed for
a guy with a g*n pointed at him.

Safety's on.

Like I'm gonna
fall for that.

No, no, actually he's
right. Safety is on.

Are you armed?

I don't like g*ns.

My money's not
in my account.

That makes me cry inside,
in my special angry place.

Okay, Parker?

Now did you come
here to get paid?

Hell, no. Transfer of
funds, man. Global economy.

It was supposed to be a walk-away.
I'm never supposed to see you again.

And the only reason you guys are
here is because you didn't get paid.

And you're pissed off, right?

Matter of fact, I mean, the only way to get
us all in the same place at the same time

is to tell us that
we're not getting paid.

Come on, get up, get up.
Let's go, hustle. Go, go.

You don't like hospitals.

Not much.

It's about time.

What the...

The cops and firemen got there
just as we were waking up.

Where are we?

County hospital. Local cops,
they responded to the expl*si*n.

Have we been processed?

They faxed our prints
to the state police.

Yo, if the staties run us,
man, we're screwed.

How long? About 30, 35 minutes
depending on the software.

They printed us
20 minutes ago.

So unless we get out of here in the
next 10 minutes, we all go to jail.

Yeah, yeah, yeah,
all right, I...

I can take these cops.

Don't you dare. You k*ll
anyone, you screw up my getaway.

Hold up, I'm still handcuffed here. I
can't even go to the bathroom. I gotta go.

Parker, get me a phone.

What we're gonna do is we're
gonna get out of here together.

This was a one-time deal.

Look, guys, here's your problem.
You all know what you can do,

I know what all
of you can do,

so that gives me the edge,
it gives me the plan.

I don't trust these guys.

Do you trust me?

Of course.
You're an honest man.

Parker, phone.

This is gonna suck.

Oh, hell, no.

Nausea could mean
a concussion.

If you feel any more effects or blurred
vision, tell the policeman right away.

Mmm-hmm.

Hey.

Nate.

I got it.

So the trick is to give them what they
want. They're expecting a phone call, right?

There's an outside call
for you. Line 2.

Okay.

This is Deputy Burns.

Yeah, this is Detective Lieutenant
Cardin with the Illinois State Police.

We got those prints
that you sent us.

The problem I have is they're
sending up all kinds of red flags

and I've got somebody on the
phone for you from the FBI

down there in Washington.
Can you hold, son?

Yes, sir.

Come on. Here it goes.

Deputy Burns, this is Deputy Director
McCumber, FBI. Yes, is our man all right?

I'm sorry,
I don't follow...

Deputy, listen to me. The man that you
have inside there is ours, actually.

He's been in deep cover
for three years.

Seriously?
That's correct.

You should be receiving
a fax any moment now,

confirming what
I'm telling you.

Most of what I have told you is
classified. I need to know I can trust you.

Can I?

Yes, sir.

Walk it off, walk...
Get inside. Get inside.

Men.

It fills my heart with tears
of joy, what you guys do.

It does.

There's a call for you.
State police.

Four first-class tickets to
anywhere but here, coming up.

Whose place is this?

It's mine.

I'm gonna b*at Dubenich so bad, even the
people that look like him are gonna bleed.

You won't get within a hundred yards. He
knows your face. He knows all our faces.

He tried to k*ll us.

And more importantly,
he didn't pay us.

How is that more important?

I take that personally.

There's something
wrong with you.

Hey, hey.
Heads up, heads up. Look.

Dubenich's story is
90 percent true.

He is the head
of Bering Aerospace,

big rival of Pierson.

But check out what my little
web crawlers coughed up.

We've lost research that we've
been working on for over five years.

Our servers have
been sabotaged.

Now, we're gonna pursue these
perpetrators to the full extent of the law

and with all the resources
we have at our disposal.

Could be a cover story.

Here's the log of last night's rip. Internal
time stamps on the project, 2003, 2004.

They're way, way down in the code.
There's no reason to fake those, man.

So we didn't steal
the plans back?

No, we were just
stealing them.

Why would Dubenich
lie to us?

'Cause you're thieves. If he
hired you for a straight-up crime,

you'd know he was a bad guy
like you. You'd be suspicious.

This way you saw just another
citizen in over his head,

and that's why you didn't see
the double-cross coming.

Then why didn't you
see it coming?

Because I'm not a thief.

You know what, maybe that
was the problem. If you...

Hey, hey. I have four tickets to
London, Rome, Paris and to Sao Paulo,

all matching the IDs
that you gave me.

You're running.

Yes, sir.
You got a better idea?

No, no.

You're running. Now,
that was a high-risk play.

You got your balls tied to the
stock price like a cinderblock.

Shareholder meeting
coming up.

We can't let this guy have
any time to cool down.

You want to run a game
on this guy? You?

Yeah, I mean, how do you think I got
most of my stolen merchandise back?

I mean, this guy, he's greedy, thinks
he's smart, he's the best kind of mark.

He does think
he got rid of us.

Element of surprise.

What's in it for me?

Payback. And if it goes
right, a lot of money.

What's in it for me?

A lot of money. And if
it goes right, payback.

Hardison?

I was just gonna send a thousand
p*rn magazines to his office,

but, hell yeah, man,
let's kick him up.

What's in it for you?

He used my son.

All right,
let's go get Sophie.

What the hell's a Sophie?

Come, you spirits that
tend on mortal thoughts.

Unsex me here and fill me
from the crown to the toe.

Topful of direst...

Make thick my blood.

Stop up the access
and passage to remorse

that no...

That no...

She's very awful.

Is she injured?
In the head?

Seriously, man, this is the
worst actress I've ever seen.

This is not her stage.

No. No. I vote no.

Parker's right. Dubenich knows
us. And we need a fresh face.

I thought you were great.

My only fan.

Freeze!

You w*nk*r!

I'm a citizen now. Honest.

I'm not.

You're playing my side?

I always thought
you had it in you.

Are you in?

I wouldn't miss this.

All right, let's go break
the law just one more time.

Victor Dubenich,
Executive Vice President

in charge of new technology
development over at Bering Aerospace.

Rich daddy, trust fund,
Yale MBA, blah, blah, blah.

Victor. Now, when was the
last time you met a Victor?

Vietnam.
A town called Ban Houzai.

Chinese border.

That's an odd thing
for you to know.

That's an odd place
for you to be.

Now, Bering is in charge of all
the big fat government contracts,

some Department of Defense
research. Very classified stuff.

Can we use that?
No, I don't think so.

Dubenich is in charge of their
commercial airline business.

All right, I know when you
sent Dubenich's designs,

you weren't supposed
to make any copies.

No, I promised. And
that would be very wrong.

Show me your copies.

It's an airplane. It's a
short-haul domestic airliner.

Yeah, usually
one-hour flights.

It's the fastest-growing
segment of the industry.

Very fuel efficient, high
tech, very nice carbon nose.

It's got the titanium wrap,
three to one.

You know, you pick up
things here and there.

You pick up a lot of stuff.

Now check this out.

Now, Dubenich and Pierson, they
were head to head for five years

trying to grab the lead in an industry
that's worth like eleventy billion dollars.

So, Pierson got there first,
Dubenich took the shortcut.

So he's got a rival.

He's got a rival that pisses him off so
much, he hired us to steal his designs.

This is good.

What are you thinking, Nate?

I'm thinking Nigerians.

Yeah.

Nigerians will do nicely.

Well, he hasn't
changed a bit.

Your 9:00 is here.

My...

Mr. Dubenich.

Anna Gonstadt, African Commercial
Transport and Trade Initiative.

Here comes
a mountain of suck.

You government?
No, no.

Private business consortium.

We are looking to encourage
infrastructure development.

And economic renewal.

I have no idea what that means
in English. What does it mean?

We create jobs and trade in Africa, keep
the graft and the stealing manageable.

But she's not awful.

This is her stage.

Sophie Devereaux is the finest actress
you've ever seen, when she's breaking the law.

Keep graft and stealing
manageable in Africa.

Good luck. I don't
think I can help.

I don't think any human being on
earth can help you with that. Sorry.

Come on.

Let's go and talk somewhere
a little less formal, eh?

No, no, no, I...
Look, Miss...

Okay. And now.

What? No, no, no, no,
no, no. No, no, please.

Hello, IT.

Yeah, this is Victor
Dubenich's office.

My computer just
completely crashed.

Well, I'm sorry to hear about that. Have
you tried turning it on and off again?

Yes. Nothing seems...

That's a computer thing.
I told her to say that.

Well done.

We've got someone
on your floor already.

Thank you.

Somebody call IT?

I represent a group of investors
who are looking to start an airline

for short-haul
flights in Africa.

Out of Johannesburg?

Okay, he's testing you.
You want Bloemfontein.

Keep away from the hubs,
revitalize the regional airports.

In South Africa,
Bloemfontein, for example.

But really, it's Nigeria
we're focused on.

Yeah, perfect.

The Lagos
airport runways are a mess.

I believe new airplanes will
make people feel comfortable,

while we renew our runways.

Uh-huh, I don't recall saying
anything about new airplanes.

Victor, both you
and your chief engineer

are scheduled to speak
at your shareholders' meeting.

I think you know more
about my business than I do.

I've done my homework.
I find you fascinating.

That's what
I've always said.

It's good. It's good to have
a passion, you know?

It is. Let me show you how
to reconnect with the network.

Shouldn't I be playing
the computer guy?

No, I want you to actually
be the computer guy.

All right.

Oh, no, no.

And reboot.

Voila.

You are strong
for a computer guy.

Thank you. I like to
work out. Try to stay big.

'Cause I love dressing up like a Klingon
and going to all the conventions, you know.

Sorry.
That's okay.

Don't you tease me.

Oh, hold up, man, that's
not... That is not cool.

That is not cool. We gonna have
a strong talk when you get back.

Uh, is it... Sorry, is
it g*nsh*t? I'm sorry.

Gonstadt.
Gonstadt.

I'm really sorry.
Anna.

Anna. Thank you.
How's this?

If we announce a new product, then you can
order as many as your little heart desires.

Okay, you know
what to do. Hit him.

We'd also like to
build the planes.

More jobs. Build them in
Africa, fly them in Africa,

sell the rest
around the world.

That's very ambitious. You have the
manufacturing facilities to do all that?

Ah, we can easily raise the
money to build the facilities, if

we know for certain we're
going to get the contracts.

Atta girl.

Anna, I'm really sorry,
but I can't help you.

That was a nice try, man.

Wait for it.

And I really do have...
I understand.

I'll take it to Pierson.

Pierson? No, Pierson's a
great company. Sure, go ahead.

I don't think they
can help you, but...

Oh, they have a reputation for
long-term investment. You don't.

They're innovators. Yeah.
It's probably a better fit.

I know. I'm aware that
you're manipulating me, Anna.

I should hope so.

Hundreds of millions
of dollars in new contracts,

a lot of good press,
all at your door.

Okay, I give up.
I'll take the meeting.

I'll have my office call you.

What? Yeah.

Day after tomorrow?

Uh, yeah, sure. Look forward
to doing business with you.

Yo, Nate.

Got all his financials off his
hard drive. All his passwords.

Yeah.

Your sh*t.

Uh, no, thanks.
Five, corner.

You look better
than when we started.

Yeah.

Yeah. And that
bothers you, huh?

Well, I mean, this isn't
supposed to feel...

Good?

It's not that hard
to figure out.

Dubenich screwed you.

He cheated by stealing
from that other company,

and your good-guy brain sees him as
the bad guy. Your conscience is clear.

You wanna take your sh*t?

Listen, I'm sorry
about your kid.

You don't know
anything about that.

Everybody knows. Guy like you goes
off the street, a lot of people notice.

And it was
a bad story, too.

How did they
justify that? Huh?

The insurance company just
not paying for his treatment.

BP's dropping.

They claimed
it was experimental.

You should've kept one of those Monets
you found. Hmm? You fence that...

Eliot, you and I
are not friends.

Right. Right.

'Cause you have so many of them.

Incoming.

Hey. Could you help me
with this earpiece?

Yeah, why don't
you ask Hardison?

Nate, come on.

-There you go.
-Thanks.

So,

this time you really are
inside my head.

Ooh.

Sophie, he's on site.

What? No, I'm not ready.

If you don't meet him
right now in the lobby,

he's gonna go to the building directory
and look for the office number.

Guys, we are not in
the building directory.

And why aren't we
in the directory?

I don't know, maybe because
they're fake offices.

There's no elevator.

All right, I'll distract him. Parker, you
got 10 seconds to get Sophie to the lobby.

Sophie.

What's going on?
Put this on.

What's it for?

Speed.

Our offices are
on the 10th floor.

Oh, you're...
You have a glow.

Just excited.
Oh.

One thing. The gentlemen
bringing you this opportunity

to work with their
government, they'll, um...

They'll expect
some compensation.

Oh.
Not a bribe, of course.

No, no, a finder's fee.

Exactly.

I thought your job was to
eliminate graft and stealing.

No, my job is to
keep it manageable.

-Good afternoon.
-Hello.

-Mr. Dubenich.
-Yes.

We are honored by your presence.

No, no, the honor
is entirely mine.

Getting in on the ground floor of something
like this is a wonderful opportunity.

Nice job on the zip line.

Totally thought she
was gonna break a leg.

Not bad
for a first time.

So what do you think?

She's closing it up.

Yes, absolutely, we can definitely
repurpose those factories.

Great.

I believe we will be able to do
a lot of business together, sir.

About the...

The other matter.

Of course.

Is that agreeable?

Oh, I think we can
work something out.

Excellent.

We got him?
We own him.

Okay, g*ng, let's go.
We got a busy day tomorrow.

This is gonna work, right?

I guarantee it.

This is insane. We
are risking everything.

Quiet. We already took a
chance by stealing the plans...

What is that?

It's a transmitter,
and they've been listening

to everything that
I've been saying.

Who are "they"?
Who do you think?

Also, I've checked.
There's no office

for the African Commercial Trade
Initiative anywhere in the city.

They've been hustling me, and I
know exactly what they're doing.

Tomorrow it stops.
Get the FBI on the phone.

Yes, sir.

You're sure you know
what they're doing?

Yeah, they're pissed, I get
that. They wanna make me pay.

I mean, an opportunity like this, the
same week as the shareholders' meeting.

The bug, the fake offices,
cash bribes.

Nigerians, for God's sake.
Nigerians, I mean...

It's like those e
- mail scams with Nigerian bank fraud letters.

Who the hell do
they think I am?

Some dog they can
just lead around?

They're gonna find out
exactly how wrong they are!

...flying anywhere, anywhere in the
world. I want to introduce to you...

It is more than just nuts,
bolts and scrap metal.

All I know is,
good day for you.

Well, it was a good day
for all of us.

Stock's gone up 15 points
since the announcement.

Really?
You didn't know?

No, I'll pass it around.

Well, aren't you the cat
that ate the canary?

Does it show?
Horrible poker face.

I'm guilty.

Why don't we get this done?

-Now?
-Yeah.

You have the whole payment? Absolutely.
I think we should make the deal.

I want to make the announcement,
get even bigger headlines.

I'll take them into a conference
room, away from all this.

Go, go, go, go.
Let's do it.

-I'll be right back.
-Okay.

Gentlemen. Now, everybody, come in, sit
down, relax, make yourselves comfortable.

-Thank you.
-Sure.

I assume we all understand
the terms of this agreement.

Well, I'll tell you. The exact
terms of the agreement are these.

FBI. Don't move.

-You all right, sir?
-Oh, I'm fine.

Yes, of course.

Thanks for asking.
Everything's perfect.

What... What are you...
Wait a minute, wait a minute.

Wait a minute.
Let go of me.

Please. What are you
looking at me for?

The criminals are sitting
right over there. Look at them.

Listen, I spoke to
Special Agent Higgins.

If you call him on the phone...
I'm Special Agent Higgins.

Victor Dubenich, you are under
arrest for soliciting a bribe

from these Nigerian
government officials.

No, I'm not under... These
are not even Nigerians.

Of course we are.

No, no, no.

Your woman knew that when
she contacted us last week.

My woman? Anna?

Anna!

Special Agent Higgins,
Anna Gonstadt works for them.

Ridiculous! She contacted
us on your behalf.

She told us she worked
directly under you now.

Anna Gonstadt from
Bering Aerospace.

Directly under Victor Dubenich.

But...

She took me... She
took me to their office.

No. We do not have
an office in this city.

Exactly.

We met her at
your other office.

Anna Gonstadt,
from Bering Aerospace.

The shareholders.
The shareholders.

What in God's name?

Hey, this is a
private party, okay?

No, no, no. No, no. Everybody?
Can I get your attention?

It's just a...
It's a permit problem.

Victor, what's going on?

I can explain, Tom.

It's just a stupid mistake... Anybody
else here involved in the bribe?

Bribe? There's no bribe.
No bribe.

I handed this man an envelope containing
a cashier's check for $200,000.

No, no, no. Nobody...
I wasn't handed any...

I didn't...
Nobody handed...

This will look a lot better for you
if you did not deposit that check.

No, no.
Do you still have it?

I didn't get a check.

Sir, we got people searching the
lab, seizing the files and computers.

Good job, Hawkins,
thank you.

Victor, news crews.
If they find out...

Higgins. Higgins, Higgins, you can't
do that. You can't take my computer.

This company has government
defense contracts.

There's very serious rules concerning
contact with foreign nationals.

The PATRIOT Act applies here,
my friend.

Sir, I can take
your underpants.

Look, look, it's getting
a little aggressive.

Yeah. I'm sorry.
Babatunde, this is Tom Daly.

These are... These
gentlemen are from Nigeria.

Everybody, just take it easy, relax,
I'll be back and I'll explain everything.

Victor, where are you going? Victor?

Guys, we gotta get rid of this
stuff. Keep shredding, keep shredding!

Help me!

FBI!

I came alone.

Yes, I know.
Thank you, Mr. Pierson.

Now, I understand your research
was completely wiped out.

I have complete copies
right on these hard drives,

along with absolute proof that they
were on Bering Aerospace computers.

That should be good for
a couple of lawsuits, right?

I drop the investigation against all
parties involved with the original theft.

That seems fair.
You get your property back.

Agreed. No charges.

Nothing on you or your people.

Don't you want money?

This particular project has
a different revenue stream.

In a massive sell-off sparked by
multiple federal investigations

of Bering Aerospace, the stock plummeted
33 percent before trading was halted.

Yeah?

Yeah, you should
have just paid us.

I found the transmitter.

Oh, you found the transmitter
with the blinking light.

Yeah, we wanted you
to figure some of it out.

Then we just gave you
what you were expecting.

I am Victor Dubenich.
I am gonna b*at this.

Uh, aren't you forgetting
about the bribe?

Who cares? You can't prove
anything. I didn't get any money.

Bingo.

Yeah, no, it doesn't
account for all of it.

Sophie kept a little to buy a
truly impressive number of shoes.

What is it with
women and shoes?

There's something
wrong with you.

That's what I said.

See, if a company's stock price
falls 10, 15 percent in one day

and you see it coming, you sell
short, you make a lot of money.

If it's gonna fall 30 percent, you
can make shattering amounts of money.

Now, we didn't need the FBI
to take you to jail,

we just needed them to show up and take
boxes out of your office. All day long.

In front of TV cameras,
scaring your investors.

You going to jail
is just a bonus.

So I wouldn't say anything
about us to the feds.

Next time we
won't be so nice.

Who was that?

Nobody.

Job well...
Whoa!

There was an overlap
in the London stock market.

Valuation carried over
to NASDAQ, and then...

I'm just very good
at what I do.

This is the score.

The score.

Age of the geek, baby.

Somebody kiss this man
so I don't have to.

So, we're out, huh? I mean, we're
out, this is retirement money.

Go-legit-and-buy-
an-island money.

Yeah. Uh, pleasure
working with you.

Yeah. One show only.
No encores.

I already forgot your names.

You know, I never had
that cool a time on a job.

It's a walk-away.
And I got focus issues.

Brother, you kept me right on.

I'm really good
at one thing.

Parker. Only one thing, that's it.

But you,
you know other things,

and then, I can't stop doing
my one thing. Can't retire.

You want to know what
I think? Not really.

How long before
you fall apart again?

Oh, I'm touched.

Yeah, well, a guy like you can't
be out of the game, all right?

That's why you were wrecked.
You need the chase.

Yeah, I'll manage.

Yeah?

You pick the jobs.

My job is helping people.
I find bad guys.

Well, go find
some bad guys.

Bad guys have money.

Black king, white knight.

I'm sorry.

No. No, no.

Please,
take your time.

She was 17.

I know.

They k*lled her.

They said it was an accident,
but that company k*lled her.

I want them hurt.

We can't pay you.

We work on an alternative
revenue stream.

I don't understand. The judge
said that we couldn't appeal.

What are you gonna do?

People like that,

corporations like that, they have all
the money, they have all the power,

and they use it to make
people like you go away.

Right now you're suffering
under an enormous weight.

We provide leverage.
