Mr. Lenox is the director
of the museum.
:23:05
This is Detective Michael McCann.
:23:07
Sorry to be here, sir.
:23:11
- Who are the actors?
- Four, all foreign.
:23:13
Probably Eastern European.
No print records.
:23:16
Illegals. Check with lnterpol.
Russian government might help.
:23:19
In the works. Point of entry was
a hollow statue delivered this morning.
:23:23
They brought it in
through their own security.
:23:25
Next you're gonna tell me
it was a horse.
:23:28
- A Trojan horse?
- Bingo.
:23:30
-Somebody's got a sense of humor.
-We got three digits of the truck plate.
:23:33
- This place been hit before?
- They just lost their cherry.
:23:37
I gather it was just
the one painting?
:23:39
But it's such an important one.
:23:41
It's a seminal work, a historical
watershed. It's truly irreplaceable.
:23:45
I love this neighborhood. Some of
these broads are wearing my salary.
:23:48
So the skylight was rigged to blow?
:23:50
Yeah. And there were cargo nets
spread out ready to use.
:23:54
And they were wearing rappelling
harnesses underneath their clothes.
:24:00
Let's just track this thing through.
So, they kill the air...
:24:05
make the place uncomfortable,
drive out the tourists, right?
:24:08
Then they lower these gates
so nobody can get in to disturb them.
:24:11
Then they lower the paintings
into the cargo nets.
:24:14
Pull the paintings,
ditch the frames.
:24:17
Figure they're gonna fly out of here
like a road company of Peter Pan.
:24:22
But somebody makes them early.
Chopper takes off.
:24:25
Some of the crew make it,
some of them don't.
:24:27
Basically, amateur night, right?
What's that?
:24:33
It was wedged under the gate.
:24:36
And?
:24:40
Not exactly Samsonite.
:24:42
Titanium. The engineer said
that it'd have to absorb...
:24:45
15 to 20 tons to stop this gate.
:24:52
Seems there may be
a couple of holes in your theory.
:24:59
They shut off the air
to drive out the tourists...
