The Thomas Crown Affair Page #6

- He's in.

- Got him.

That's him.

Overcoat and briefcase.

Yeah, Mikey, we got him.

Center entrance. Grey overcoat.

Bring up the lobby

on the big monitor.

Move in quietly.

We don't wanna make a scene.

What the hell's he doin'? It's almost

like he wants to make sure we see him.

Let's play ball.

There he goes. Bowler hat.

Move in and pick him up.

Go. Move it.

Quietly. Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Sh*t, he switched the painting.

Stay with the painting.

What? I can't...

Sh*t! There's another one.

Where is he?

What the hell...

- There's guys with bowler hats...

- All over the goddamn place.

- Did you warn him?

- What? No. No!

- Then he knew you were gonna betray him.

- Sh*t. They're going for the stairs.

That does it. Now we got

four floors to keep track of.

Stay with him. He disappears, it'll be

ten years before he surfaces again.

- Is the Impressionist wing sealed off?

- Completely.

- There's no way to get in?

- Gates are down. We got men on the roof.

If he tries to put the painting back,

I guarantee it won't be in that room.

- Got 'em coming out of the woodworks.

- What's the deal?

He's going the other way.

- What?

- Where are you?

I can't hear you.

This is ridiculous.

He's got us running around in circles.

Paretti's trying to reach you.

I know, you're f***ed.

I'm coming down.

What do we do?

Start arresting people.

Come on.

Excuse me, sir. One moment.

Sh*t!

I knew it. Excuse me.

- Coming through.

- Get the civilians out of here.

How do we get this gate open?

Kill the sprinklers

in the Impressionist wing now!

It's water paint.

It's been here the whole time.

From what, one, two days

after the robbery?

There's something jammed

in the track.

Returned the damn thing

practically as soon as he stole it.

- Oh, Lord.

- Oh, dear.

This... This can't be.

It simply can't be.

Now, how the hell did he do that?

Where are you goin'?

Oh, office.

Write up my report.

- The job's done, right?

- Yeah.

So, the other painting, why do you

think he chose that particular one?

I have no idea.

But it's not insured by my people,

so I'm out of it.

Obviously, you'll still

have to pursue it.

I don't really give a sh*t.

You don't care if you catch him?

I'll do what they tell me to do.

- Did you ever care?

- Yeah.

He pissed me off.

But look,

the week before I met you...

I nailed two crooked

real estate agents...

and a guy who was

beating his kids to death.

So, if some Houdini wants

to snatch a couple swirls of paint...

that are really only important

to some very silly rich people...

I don't really give a damn.

You're a good man.

Okay. Get out of here.

And tell him I said hello.

I have no idea

what you're talking about.

Go on. And don't stiff us

for your phone bills.

Taxi!

You know, I'm just gonna run.

Thanks.

Excuse me.

You can't go out there

without an escort.

You would be Catherine?

He wanted you to have this.

Good day, ma'am.

How can I help you?

I have a reservation.

Okay, Miss Banning.

Will you be carrying

any luggage today?

Can you see that this...

gets to this man

at police headquarters?

This should take care of it.

- It won't get there till the morning.

- That's fine.

Departures for international flights

are up the escalator to your left.

Ma'am...

is everything all right?

Everything's fine.

You don't need to cry there,

lassie.

Did you set this up?

Did you set this up?

Miss, please,

the seat belt sign is still on.

I'll tell you what.

You pull a stunt like that again...

I'll break both your arms.
