A small group of suspects

were able to disable the alarm.

However, nothing was taken.

Claude Monet.

Woman with parasol.

So what now?

Now?

Now, Finn is going to take this

to the guy.

Along with this.

And I am off the hook.

Again.

So now,

why don't you get up.

And get out the f*** out of here.

- Yeah.

- Hey.

I got eyes on Finn Gerrity

If you want to bust this guy Carlos.

Just let it play out.

Do you have the payment

Yeah, I got the payment.

One hundred thousand dollars.

Yeah, it's all there.

So...

This guy comes all the way from

Minneapolis, Minnesota.

To tell me that Tommy Keegan

is a fool.

What the f*** does that suppose to mean?

I always thought that Mr. Keegan

was stupid.

But I didn't know he was

this stupid.

Bullshit!

Wait a minute.

Oh, what the f***?

Let's go visit Tommy Keegan.

F*** that!

Mr.Owensby?

- Mr...uh.. Carlos.

- Carlos.

I'm.. sorry.

Not only is this a forgery.

It's a bad one at that.

So it's worth nothing?

It's for you.

- Here they are.

- Oh shirt!

No.

Don't, don't, don't...

He's coming back.

Okay, he's going to

pay someone a visit.

He'll be back.

You don't have anything on him anyway.

Can't wait.

Pop!

Geronimo.

What did you do?

Okay.

There's a painting upstairs.

It's a Monet.

It's the real thing.

When they come back.

You arrest them.

Read them their rights..

- ..whatever you guys do.

- That's right.

Wait a minute.

Nothing was taken.

Trust me.

You just be very careful

with the painting.

Bring it back to the museum

They'll know exactly what to do.

Yeah.

I thought you didn't snitch.

I don't.

It's just this guy Carlos

ain't from here.

We have to go.

Okay.

Jesus!

Any sign of Finn Gerrity and Collin Corley?

No, not a trace.

It's been over an hour.

Why is he taking so long?

When I was his age,

two minutes tops.

This is f***ing ridiculous.

Goodbye, Tricia.

Hey, pop.

Thanks for taking care of him

while I was away.

- Oh, stop it.

- Yeah, you know.

- Well?

- Hey!

How did it go?

Gramps.

That's none of your business.

Alright, sergeant.

- Carl.

- Goodbye.

Bet he wishes he was going.

Okay, here we are.

Dad.

You sure, huh ?

Yeah, this is the real thing.

Here we go!

Thank you.

- Have a nice flight.

- Yeah, thanks.

Thanks.

I have never seen him this happy.

Hey, dad.

If you had one wish.

What would you wish for?

Come on in.

You two pantsies.

Join me. The water is fine.

For Christ sake.

Hey, Will.

What do you say we explore Polynesia, huh.
