DON'T KNOW.
BEATS THE HELL OUT OF ME.
I WAS SUPPOSED TO...
GET INTO THE VAULT
AND THEN ARTIE HILL AND
HIS BOYS WERE ON THEIR OWN.
COME ON, I MEAN, YOU HAVE
TO KNOW MORE THAN THAT, RIGHT?
NOBODY PULLS
A JOB BLIND.
WELL,
I DID OVERHEAR SOMETHING
ABOUT ART SHIPMENT.
ART?
YEAH.
UH-UH.
NAH,
THERE'S GOT TO BE SOMETHING
MORE IN THAT VAULT THAN THAT.
LOOK, I'M JUST
TELLING YOU WHAT I HEARD.
WHY WOULD I LIE?
FOR PRACTICE.
HEY, SHAL.
LOOKING GOOD.
HEY, SHAL.
SAVE SOME FOR THE BAD GUYS, EH.
HEY. HEY, THAT'S ENOUGH.
SORRY.
LOST MY TEMPER.
YOU ALWAYS DID
TAKE MY BREATH AWAY WHEN
YOU CAME INTO A ROOM.
HEY. HEY.
NOW THE ONLY PROBLEM IS
YOUR BREATH KEEPS COMING BACK.
OHH. AGH.
LOOK, WHEN I HUNG
AROUND WITH SHALIMAR,
IT'S NOT EXACTLY
LIKE SHE WORE A HALO.
I NEVER BAILED ON HER.
I NEVER BAILED ON HER.
SHE BAILED ON ME.
HUH.
WAY WE HEARD IT,
YOU SET HER UP TO TAKE A FALL.
LOOK, IT'S CONVOLUTED.
THE FACTS ARE ALWAYS WAY
MORE COMPLEX THAN THEY SEEM.
HUH.
SPOKEN LIKE A TRUE
JAILHOUSE LAWYER.
ADAM.
IT LOOKS LIKE ZACK
WAS TELLING THE TRUTH.
SEGAL'S FINE ART AUCTIONS
STORE THEIR PIECES AT
DOMBEY & SONS SECURITY.
I CAN'T ACCESS MUCH MORE THAN
HALF OF THEIR SECURITY LAYOUT.
KEEP TRYING.
ANY IDEA WHAT'S IN THOSE VAULTS?
THERE'S AN AUCTION AT SEGAL'S
TOMORROW NIGHT FEATURING ONE
OF HENRIK WIGSTROM'S
FABERGE EGGS.
FABERGE EGG.
THEY'RE BEEFING UP
THEIR IN-HOUSE SECURITY.
WHAT WOULD ECKHART
WANT WITH A FABERGE EGG?
BEATS ME.
WELL, NOW WE KNOW
WHAT THEY'RE AFTER.
NOW THE QUESTION IS WHY.
ANY CHANCE YOU CAN
TRACE THE EGG'S OWNERSHIP?
YEAH.
JUST GIVE ME A MINUTE.
I'LL KEEP YOU POSTED.
ALL RIGHT.
DO THAT.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
I THINK I'M JUST GOING TO...
I'M JUST GOING TO FADE AWAY.
WELL, WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
I MEAN,
THE GSA'S STILL AFTER YOU.
NOT TO MENTION SHALIMAR'S
STILL ON THE WARPATH.
LOOK, I THINK I'LL
TAKE MY CHANCES WITH THE GSA.
I DON'T WANT TO
CAUSE HER ANY MORE GRIEF.
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THIS.
HEY, IF HE WANTS
TO GO, JUST LET HIM GO.
WELL, THANKS FOR YOUR HELP
AND IF THE EGG IS REALLY WHAT
YOU'RE AFTER,
I WOULDN'T WORRY ABOUT IT.
THERE'S ONLY TWO
PEOPLE IN THE WORLD THAT
CAN GET INTO THAT VAULT.
THE GUY WITH THE COMBINATION...
AND,
UH... WAIT. LET ME GUESS.
YOU?
YEAH.
YEAH,
WE'LL SEE ABOUT THAT.
OH, YEAH.
THE MOST ELABORATE
AND EXPENSIVE OF THE
FABERGE COLLECTION.
ENCRUSTED WITH
GOLD, PLATINUM AND LACED
WITH ROSE DIAMONDS.
IT COULD
BE MADE OF LEAD,
CUT GLASS AND PASTE
FOR ALL I GIVE A DAMN.
I WILL GET YOU YOUR
EGG, MR. ECKHART.
YOU CAN COUNT ON IT.
OPTIMISM'S NEVER BEEN ONE OF
MY STRONG SUITS, MR. HILL.
DO YOU NEED MR. LOCKHEART
TO COMPLETE THE MISSION?
I CAN ONLY PRESUME
FROM YOUR SQUIRMING
THAT THE ANSWER IS YES.
FIND MR. LOCKHEART AND
PERSUADE HIM, MR. HILL.
I DO NOT HAVE THE TIME OR
PATIENCE FOR PRIMA DONNAS.
WHERE'S SHALMIAR?
SHE'S LICKING HER
WOUNDS IN THE GARDEN.
THIS ZACK GUY'S
REALLY GOTTEN TO HER.
YEAH.
SO WHAT DID YOU EMMA FIND
OUT ABOUT THE FABERGE EGG?
WELL, AFTER THE COLLAPSE
OF THE RUSSIAN MONARCHY,
ALL OF THE EGGS FELL INTO THE
HANDS OF PRIVATE COLLECTORS.
AND THIS ONE BELONGED
TO SASHA KANDINSKI.
SASHA KANDINSKI?
WHAT?
YOU KNOW THE GUY?
YEAH,
HE WAS A BIOGENETICIST.
HE WAS DIRECTOR OF THE
SOVIET ANTI-GENOMEX PROGRAM.
HUH.
SOUNDS LIKE ECKHART,
BUT WITH A FUR HAT
AND A VODKA HANGOVER.
YEAH. WELL,
IT'S CLOSER THAN YOU THINK.
NO, HE THIS WEIRD
COMMUNIST DIEHARD, RIGHT,
BUT WITH A SECRET NOSTALGIA
FOR THE OLD CZARIST DAYS.
HIS PASSION
WAS FOR FABERGE EGGS.
SO YOU THINK ECKHART WANTS
TO STEAL THE EGG BECAUSE
IT WAS CHERISHED
BY HIS RIVAL?
NO,
I THINK IT GOES DEEPER
THAN THAT, BUT LISTEN.
KEEP DIGGING.
SO ARE YOU GOING TO SIT
HERE ALL DAY AND BROOD?
OR ARE YOU JUST PRACTISING
INTIMIDATING THE PLANTS?
I DON'T KNOW HOW ADAM CAN
TAKE ZACK AT HIS WORD AFTER
WHAT I TOLD HIM.
ZACK MADE MY
LIFE A LIVING HELL.
THEN YOU'LL BE GLAD
TO KNOW THAT HE'S GONE.
I GUESS HE GOT
