Mike.
So what are we driving?
If you can guess, I'll give you the keys to it.
Oh, Chevy Chevelle, racing green.
Bright color.
That is a beautiful car.
I need to be in your line of work.
I'm real good at reading people.
What have you read about me?
Okay.
You look like a person who has secrets.
You got the cars, the clothes, but you can't seem to look me in the eye.
Start by handing me your phone.
You're looking at robberies of jewels, money, or high value items in the last four years.
Now, remove every robbery where there was DNA left at the scene.
I think all of these are the same guy.
And he hits every time along the 101 freeway.
I came here to make you a business proposition.
Worked at the same company for 11 years.
You're a VP when you should be a partner.
Those high value items your company insures,
I like to easily make them disappear.
And no one gets hurt.
I wouldn't die for an insurance company.
Get in.
There's water in the trunk.
There's a courier carrying watches and gems.
And the buyer's paying cash.
Looking at 11 million dollars in one room.
Three of which I'll be taking.
It doesn't matter how much money you make, it's never enough.
I'll know when I have enough.
How?
He's planning something, no?
Follow him.
My dad always said you gotta break two eggs.
You tell him I see you again, you bum.
Come here.
As smart as our guy is, he can't help but form a pattern.
I'm getting close.
I know it.
Something doesn't feel right.
Nice car.
You into cars?
Yeah, I prefer the old American ones.
I used to dream of having a Mustang when I was a kid.
Steve McQueen.
You ever see the Thomas Crown Affair?
Plays a high class thief in it.
I like to pull up.
All the chases.
You're about to break every rule you've ever lived by.
What makes this job different?
There comes a moment when you realize you don't have as much time as you thought you had.
