Not thief, I was a robber.

不是小偷，我是搶匪。

Thief sounds like you went in a person's house and robbed it. I just went with a gun right to their face.

小偷聽起來像你闖進某人家裡偷東西，我是直接舉槍對準他們的臉。

Larry's a former career criminal, once considered the biggest jewel thief in the United States.

拉瑞之前是職業罪犯，曾被認為是美國最大的珠寶搶匪。

In seven years, I rob between 15 and 18 million USD, and then served 12 years in federal prison.

在七年內，我搶了大約 1500 至 1800 萬美金，並在聯邦監獄服刑了 12 年。

And today, I'm gonna break down what's right and wrong in some of Hollywood's great movie heists.

而今天，我要分析好萊塢搶匪片中哪裡正確或錯誤。

[Vanity Fair true crime: Ex-jewel robber reviews heist scenes.]

(前珠寶搶匪分析搶匪片)

We're about to watch a lot of crimes in movies, but let me be very clear, I am in no way endorsing or encouraging crime in any way.

我們即將觀看許多電影中的犯罪行為，不過我必須清楚說明，我完全不認同或鼓勵犯罪。

I'm an ex-criminal, and now I work with police agencies to prevent crime, so I want that to be known right off the bat.

我是一名前科犯，現在我與警察機關合作以預防犯罪，我想事先聲明一下。

Let's look at some clips.

我們來看一些短片吧！

The bank robbery in "Heat."

《烈火悍將》中的銀行搶劫。

Keys, the keys, keys. Stay down.

鑰匙，鑰匙，鑰匙。趴下。

We want to hurt no one. We are here for the bank's money, not your money.

我們不想傷害任何人。我們來搶銀行的錢，不是你的錢。

Your money's insured by the federal government, you're not gonna lose a dime.

你的錢由聯邦政府保險，你不會損失一毛錢。

When Robert De Niro takes control and tries to calm everybody down, by telling 'em that their money's insured, he's right.

當勞勃．狄尼洛控制場面，試圖讓大家冷靜時，並告訴他們自己的錢有被保險，他是對的。

It's just like with the robberies that I committed, the people's jewelry was insured so they got their money.

這就像我主導的搶劫案，大家的珠寶都有保險，所以他們的錢沒事。

It wasn't the people who you're robbing that were getting robbed, the real people are the insurance companies who are losing the money.

你並不是去搶那些人的錢，真正丟錢的人是保險公司。

And again, I'm not gonna say it was right. It's wrong, but it's not their stuff they're losing.

同樣的，我並不認為這是對的，這是錯的，不過他們的東西並沒失去。

Most of the people I robbed did not hate me, cause they actually sold their whole store in one shot for insurance.

大多數被我搶劫的人都不恨我，因為他們拿到保險金等同一口氣賣光整間店。

At one time, the feds couldn't get the jewelry store people to say anything bad against me.

某一次聯邦政府甚至無法讓珠寶店家說我的壞話。

They got a couple, but the guy shot me.

他們是有辦法讓一些人指控我，不過那傢伙射傷了我。

Okay, now the things that stuck out right away on this clip is, how much do you think that money weighs?

好，這個影片中馬上引人注意的是，你覺得那些錢的重量多少？

Cash is king.

鈔票就是王道。

You'd like to rob cash, but cash is heavy.

你想要搶鈔票，但鈔票很重。

They're flinging around that cash like it's feathers. That cash is heavy.

他們把那筆鈔票揮來揮去，彷彿輕如羽毛，那筆鈔票很重的。

It's a gram per bill.

每張紙鈔有 1 克重。

Each one of those bags is 70 pounds, and they're running through the streets like it's a 10 pound bag.

每一袋有約 32 公斤重，而他們在街道中穿梭，彷彿那一袋只有約 4.5 公斤重。

You know, it's totally unrealistic.

這完全不真實。

That's part of that struck out at me right away.

這部分立刻吸引我的注意。

Cash is heavy.

鈔票很重。

That's why people can rob a lot more in diamonds, you can get a diamond worth 100,000 dollars that is the size of a penny.

所以大家搶鑽石才能搶比較多，1 顆鑽石可以要價 10 萬美金，而且是 1 分錢硬幣大小。

You know why cash is king? Because you don't have to deal with a fence.

你知道為何鈔票是王道嗎？因為你不需要處理「圍牆」。

A fence is a middleman.

「圍牆」就是中間人。

A fence is the guy you take whatever stolen object you have, you get cash from that person for that stolen item, and he then gets rid of it.

「圍牆」就是你把偷來的物品給那個人並換來現金，然後他會把東西處理掉。

So you'd have a fence for diamonds, you'd have a fence for VCRs, you can have fence for clothes, whatever you steal, you need a fence.

所以你會有鑽石的中間人，錄影帶的中間人，也會有服飾類的中間人，不管你偷什麼，都需要個中間人。

Not with cash, cash is king.

但鈔票不用，鈔票是王道。

Thomas Crown Affair.

《天羅地網》。

What you're seeing here is a mega millionaire stealing a million dollar picture.

這個畫面是一名超級百萬富翁偷一幅百萬名畫。

In the Thomas Crown Affair, what does he do? He robs art.

在《天羅地網》中，他做了什麼呢？他會偷名畫。

Why does he rob art? Because he knows art, so he knew the value of what he was stealing.

他為什麼偷名畫？因為他懂藝術，所以他知道自己所偷的價值。

This painting is considered to be the first impressionist work in history.

這幅畫被認為是藝術史中的第一幅印象派作品。

It's worth 100 million bucks.

它價值一億美金。

In my own career, I knew about diamond.

在我的事業中，我懂鑽石。

Why? Because I went to the GIA Institute under the table to know what I was doing.

為什麼？因為我私下去過 GIA 學院，去了解我偷的東西。

The GIA Institute is the Gemological Institute of America.

GIA 學院就是「美國寶石學院」。

They actually show you how to grade diamonds, rate diamonds, actually give 'em what they call a birth certificate.

他們會教你怎麼評價與評分鑽石，並給鑽石一張出生證書。

So understanding what you rob is more important than sometimes the robbery itself.

因此了解你搶劫的東西有時比搶劫本身還重要。

Why would I rob something and not know the value of it?

我為什麼要搶一個不知價值的東西？

Morning, Mr. Grant.

早安，葛萊特先生。

Bobby.

巴比。

Back for your haystacks, huh?

回來看稻草堆嗎？

In the Thomas Crown Affair, he gets very tight with everybody.

在《天羅地網》中，他和每個人都非常要好。

And that's very common, because when I did my robberies, I ended up getting tight with the owner or the sales person in that jewelry store.

這很常見，因為我在進行搶劫時，我會和珠寶店的老闆或銷售員變得要好。

They didn't know who I was, but they got tight with me.

他們不知道我是誰，但他們會跟我變朋友。

They started talking about the place, and I would end up even sometimes asking to use the bathroom in the back, and they'd say sure.

他們會開始談論那個地方，而我之後甚至有時會借用後面的廁所，他們也會答應。

I'd walk in the back and know everything about the store, where the cameras were.

我會走到後面並了解店內的一切，攝影機在哪裡等。

What I don't like about what I'm seeing in this clip is he's robbing for fun, he's getting a thrill.

影片中我不喜歡的一點是，他是為了好玩而搶劫，他得到刺激感。

I've known people who are very wealthy who want something, but they don't do it themselves, they hire other people to do it.

我曾認識非常有錢並想要某樣東西的人，但他們不會自己去犯案，他們會僱用別人去做。

Are you trying to imply that I had something to do with that painting?

妳在暗示我有那幅畫有動手腳嗎？

Trying?

暗示嗎？

No way, if you were worth 10 million dollars, would you go rob something?

不可能，如果你價值一千萬美金，你會去搶劫嗎？

If you got 10 million in your house, what are you gonna rob another million for and go to prison?

如果你家裡有一千萬美金，你幹嘛要再去搶一百萬然後去坐牢？

That just doesn't make sense.

那完全不合理。

Maybe it's for the thrill?

或許是為了刺激感？

Thrill, [beeps] off more.

刺激感，不如多去打 X。
