Thieves Page #2

Have you seen her?

Who?

Ana.

Lots of gypsies come here.

To me they all look the same.

She's brunette, thin...

Speaks with an accent.

I'll tell you what.

If any more misfortune falls upon

your family, God forbid...

bring me whatever you get

and I'll look for her.

If she shows up, I'll tell her

you're looking for her.

Okay?

Yes.

No, really, I can't go.

I'd like to but I swear I can't.

My head...

No, I took some already.

Sure.

I'll see you tomorrow,

I promise.

Have fun. Bye.

Is the job still free?

I might give it a try.

First we give you a try.

- After all I've done?

- So far I've done everything.

- First we see if you can lift.

- Lift what?

Wallets.

You have to look nonchalant.

Let's see it.

You're kidding.

No, look nonchalant.

How's this?

- More.

- More what?

More detached.

Is that the best you can do?

What?

What's going on?

What are you talking about?

I didn't steal any wallet.

Touch me

and I'll call the police.

How was that?

okay, here's the plan.

We take a subway or a bus.

You on one end, me on the other.

I'll watch people as they pay.

If I see something interesting

I'll make a sign.

- Scratching your nose?

- So what?

- That's crap.

- Why?

It's the lamest sign of all time.

Scratch your ear.

When I touch my nose,

find a spot next to me.

I'll pass you the wallet

and we exit through different doors.

You got it?

Aren't we going to practice?

We did on the bus.

What if we get caught?

We won't.

- But what if we do?

- We go separate ways.

- You just leave me hanging?

- Lf I get caught I'm on my own.

You go your way and I go mine.

That's it.

Do as I say and nothing will happen.

I promise.

Have you ever been caught?

No way.

Don't tell me,

another misfortune.

My grandmother.

She couldn't get over it.

How long did it take you

to get all this?

A few hours.

This is all junk.

I'll give you 50 for this.

- It's a Patek Philip.

- A fake Patek Philip.

only you and I know that.

This is what

I give people who come in

every now and then.

It would be different

if you worked for me.

I work alone.

You wouldn't have to work

with other people.

I have Arabs and South Americans

for that.

I need someone for special things.

We had a deal.

I found your friend.

If you want to see her,

you should do me a little favor.

And then you'll want another one.

She wears a cross,

like yours.

In a few days

there's an exhibition

at this hotel.

I need the wallet of the man

organizing it.

When you have it, call me

and I'll tell you where to meet.

Can you do it?

You've got a week,

but don't wait too long.

As you know, in this business

timing is everything.

You're dead! You're dead!

We have to start from scratch.

It wasn't my fault.

You didn't pass it right.

- I didn't?

- You didn't.

Don't patronize me.

You've taught me nothing special.

Scratching your nose,

working together...

Anyone can do that.

So what trick

will you teach me today?

- We can't work today.

- Why not?

You'll attract attention.

- You're showing your belly.

- What do you mean?

All girls dress like this.

This is different.

You're supposed to be discreet.

- You've got plenty to learn.

- Like what?

How about people on the street?

- What do you mean?

- Anybody.

I'll pick one

and you steal his wallet.

We need a distraction.

People aren't that dumb.

People are dumber than you think.

Let's go.

What will you do with all that?

I have enough clothes

and if I like something

you'll take care of it, right?

We could celebrate.

How about a fancy restaurant?

How fancy?

You decide.

If we're short we'll improvise.

From coffee to dinner...

You work fast!

Hold on a minute.

Yes? Hi.

I'll be right there.

Okay.

It was a friend.

I forgot I had to meet her to study.

I have to go.

Can't you go another time?

I promised her I'd give her my

notes. I can't leave her hanging.

See you tomorrow?

Bye.

Yes.

No, not London.

Barcelona.

Barcelona would be in July.

Hello.

Going up.

I went by your house

to see if you were there.

You gave up quick.

- I waited for two hours.

- I got in trouble.

What trouble?

Actually, I've been testing another.

Another what?

I told you I had other candidates.

You came to tell me that?

You shouldn't have bothered.

Wait!

I told her I didn't want her.

Why? Is she bad?

I like you better.

Should I take that as a compliment?

It's not enough.

I came to teach you.

- What?

- To lift.

To lift wallets?

I promised you I would.

Okay.

What do I have to do?

There's nothing to learn.

Itjust takes courage.

Okay.

We're on a bus.

There's a guy in front of me

with 1,000 euros in his wallet.

To steal that much would be a crime.

You get a record.

- 500.

- Nobody takes a bus with that much.

- 200.

- 100.

Okay. It's crowded.

The guy is lost in thought.

He met a girl he likes a lot.

He doesn't know how to break up

with his girlfriend.

More people get in,

they push you.

You need something to hold onto.

You've distracted him.

Maybe he likes it.

People don't touch each other.

Your hand approaches his pocket.

It has to be fast.

Without thinking.

Hesitate and you get caught.

Do it.

See? You can do it.

I know a place for tomorrow.

Plenty of people.

It's easy.

If you're not scared.

I'm not the one who's scared.

Hey!

You think I'm stupid?

- What?

- Who sent you? Who?

Don't touch me.

Why are you here?

You already know.

You tell me.

I failed.

You and your boss.

I don't know what you mean.

How old were you

when your mom left you?

She didn't leave me.

Here it says she renounced custody.

That's a lie.

Is that what she said?

Did you go back to her?

Your friend picks prettier girls

each time.

He obviously likes them posh.

They attract less attention.

Did you think it was a game?

He's a sly one.

He's in here all the time.

He seduces you, uses you and when

things go bad he finds another.

Was it his idea or was it ajob?

What job?

You didn't pick him at random.

Who put you up to it?

You want me to call your parents?

You can't.

I'm not a minor.

I can't do anything this time.

Next time will be different.

But I'll offer you a deal.

We'll leave this here.

Just agree to leave her alone.

You stay away from her

and she stays away from you.

I'm not doing this for you.

You'll end up here either way

some day.

But I'm worried about her.

Can't you see he's using you?

Here's some advice.

When you get out, go straight home.

He'll say it's all a lie.

Trust him if you want.

But keep this up

and one day it will be serious.

You said it yourself.

You're not a minor.

You're not his first or his last.

You're a student,

you have a nice home.

Don't mess it up.

What did they say?

Don't talk to me!

Everything they said is a lie.

It's no big deal.

No big deal?

I left food in the freezer.

Heat it up in the microwave.

I know, Mom.

What's wrong?

Jorge's been calling.

Did you two fight?

Don't worry, things will work out.
