- Art theft is big business.

It's estimated that it's worth

more than three billion pounds a year.

In the same league as drugs, money laundering,

and the illegal arms trade.

And only about 10% of stolen art is ever recovered.

I'm about to meet an art collector I know, Ivan Massow,

who's agreed to help me with this TV project.

All he knows is that I'm here to offer a wager.

I would love to steal one of your paintings.

- Okay.

- You have an exhibition coming up?

- I do, yeah. - Which is?

- It's in the Truman Brewery, it's for Action for Children,

exhibition of the Chapman brothers work.

- I know the Chapman brothers very well.

In fact we filmed with them a few years ago.

I really love their work.

So I propose a wager.

I'll tell you the painting that I'm going to steal.

- Right.

- The day that it will happen on.

- Okay.

- The exact time, that it will occur.

I'll even give you a picture of the person

who's gonna steal it. - Okay.

- Cause it won't be me.

And you can hire in, whatever security you'd like,

I know the painting's worth quite a bit of money.

And you can pass all that information on to your security,

but I'll still get away with it.

- Right.

- In fact, there'll be a member of your staff who'll

help us leave with the painting.

(laughs)

Bet you a pound that I can get away with it.

- Okay. (laughs)

- A pound? - A pound.

- Excellent, thank you.

Then listen carefully, the painting is

One Day You Will No Longer Be Loved,

the day it'll happen is next Wednesday,

that's a week today,

and it will happen at exactly

three o'clock in the afternoon.

I have the picture of the person who's gonna do it.

It's in there.

You might want to pass it on to security.

- Okay.

- Thank you, Ivan, I'll see you next week.

(clock ticking)

(bright music)

If I'm going to steal a painting from a gallery,

I'll need to recruit a team of specialists

from across the country.

I need people who have a unique set of skills,

people with a particular type of experience.

People who are all around us all the time,

but remain hidden,

and they're not given a second glance.

Hello, I'm Derren. - Derren, hello.

- Lovely to meet you. - Pleased to meet you.

- Old age pensioners.

There are 10.8 million people over the age of 65 in the UK.

In fact, there are more pensioners

than there are people under the age of 16.

My aim with this show is to remind us

that older people have far richer stories to tell

than the rest of us.

And we don't stop being interesting just because we turn 65.

So I advertise for people who've retired from work,

but aren't quite ready to retire from an active life.

From the hundreds that applied,

I put together a team with what I hope will be

the perfect mix of skills.

And today I'm meeting them for the first time

over a lovely cup of tea.

Thank you so much. - And, how about the biscuit.

- [Derren] Very much, so, thank you.

Do you think there are issues or concerns

about how people of a certain age are treated or viewed?

- Oh, many issues, many concerns, yes, absolutely.

- Tell me about that - Perhaps particularly

as an old woman, you definitely

become more and more invisible.

Yes, you're just a dear little old lady.

- [Derren] It's that sense of invisibility

that fascinates me and that I hope to use to my advantage.

- [Tony] You at time, get to a bus stop,

everyone pushing you aside, you know.

- [Derren] Why do you think that is?

Is there a reason for it or is it, just what we used to?

- Well, we live in a couldn't care less society, don't we,

and I think this is a reflection of it.

- [Derren] If you imagine yourself at 65 or 75,

I'm sure you see a person with enormous value

and who's still full of surprises.

- And domino.

- Is that it?

- Yeah, five pound again. (laughs)

- Five pound.

- When I was younger, women particularly

suddenly got old, either when the children left home,

you know, to get married,

or when they turned 40.

And then again, when they lose,

if they lose a husband, you know?

- [Joe] I mean, it's gotta be said,

as you go through life, you'd never ever think

you gonna wake up one morning and you are 65.

- [Derren] How old do you feel?

- I feel about 38.

- 38? - Yeah.

- Sort of grown up but, yeah.

So far they've got no idea what I have planned for them.

I'm really hoping they're going to

agree to help me win this wager.

I've got a plan.

That I'd love you to be part of, if you're up for it.

- You've got a plan.

- I have a plan.

- That sounds like the start of a film or a book.

- I'm hoping to make a wager with an art collector.

The plan is, I would like you to steal a painting

from an exhibition.

- Wow. (laughs)

- Fantastic.

- You up for it? - Yeah.

- You are?

- What about the police?

We'll take care of the police.

- I don't want to end up with a criminal record.

- No no no, no you won't.

- Oh, yeah.

- Yes, certainly.

- Yeah, don't see why not?

- Ah, why not, let's have a laugh.

- Pleased you're on board. - Thank you.

- [Pauline] I've never stolen anything before,

except maybe the odd barrow from work that comes home.

That's not really stealing, is it?

- [Tony] People don't think that older people are capable

of doing things like this.

I've never done anything quite as cheeky in my life.

- Is it Derren or Daren, I'm not sure.

Stealing the painting, I think it is absolutely fabulous.

God, I hope I get away with it.

- I've got a bus pass and straight away,

they'll say to their friend, oh, it's an old chap him.

I might as well as try to be a baddy for once in my life.

(upbeat music)

- So that's my team of pensioners.

Not career criminals at all,

but their combined life experience means that

they already have all the skills they need in place,

to steal a painting from an art gallery.

I just need to help them focus those skills

and use the way that they are seen

or not seen by society as a strength.

I've asked the team to join me in London

for the start of their month-long journey.

I want to show them some of the principles

they'll need to use when it comes to stealing the painting.

(dramatic music)

- Thought we were playing cards.

- Thank you all for coming in.

You'll all know this.

- [Tony] Oh yes, the Mona Lisa.

- The Mona Lisa, La Gioconda stolen from The Louvre in 1911.

Probably the most famous painting in the world.

The story of the theft is quite interesting.

The guy that did it, was an Italian called Vincenzo Peruggia

and he shut himself in a broom cupboard on a Sunday night,

in the gallery.

Knowing that the place was gonna be closed

on the Monday for cleaning.

So early hours of the Monday morning,

he comes out of the cupboard, takes this off the wall,

gets to the front door and can't let himself out

because it's locked.

So brilliantly, he smashes the door knob off from the inside

and then goes and finds a member of staff

and says the door knob has been stolen.

Can you let me out?

He's doing this with the Mona Lisa.

Which he's shoved under his arm.

So this member of staff sorts the door out

and lets him out, he walks out with it.

The best part for me, is the fact that

for a full day after this happens,

there's a big gap on the wall and no one notices.

The Mona Lisa's gone, no one says anything until

a visitor mentioned it to a member of security and said,

"Oh, what's happened to the Mona Lisa?"

And the security guard says,

"I think it's being photographed."

So nobody paid any attention to it.

It is amazing how much you miss,

even though it's happening right in front of you.

So, let me show you what I mean, I'll give you an example.

A normal, deck of 109 playing cards.

- 109?

- And Pauline, if you don't mind,

would you take one out for me?

Anyone you like just grab that one for me, anyone you like,

thank you,

have a look at it with your eyes and show the others.

Thank you very much, indeed.

Great thank you, I can,

I'll show the camera as well.

Do please remember it.

Otherwise I have to put you in a home.

So you want to change your mind, by the way?

You're happy with that one, you're happy it's a free choice.

- Oh, I'm perfectly happy with it.

- So, Rachel, all of you watch, watch carefully.

What was the card by the way?

What was it?

- Six of diamonds.

If I (snaps finger) do this, it should disappear.

Now, if you're looking out for six of diamonds,

there shouldn't be one there.

Six of diamonds, there'd be a six of hearts, of course

you might see a red six, no six of diamonds, I don't think.

It's disappeared, disappeared from the deck

and reappeared under there.

Now look, I'll show you, I'll push that out of the way.

Can you see there was one card underneath the box?

Six there.

Thank you, very much indeed, you are very kind.

Rachel, just point anywhere you like on this spread.

If I spread those out, anywhere you'd like.

It could be in the middle or,

okay, that makes it a bit more difficult,

but I'll slip that in there.

Okay, watch, watch carefully, little click,

the six of diamonds disappears one more time and reappears,

there it is, under the box.

Once again, six of diamonds, you're very kind.

I do know,

I know from experience, I wouldn't get away with it

a third time cause obviously all you do is just

is look at the box.

So I do something a little different.

Rachel, can I borrow your finger?

Would you could mind just, flat on top like that

on top of the six, but just not too hard, but just enough,

so, you know, I can't get to it.

I'll get rid of the rest of the cards, we don't need them

because otherwise you'll be, you'll just be watching them.

So I'll get rid of those.

I'll try and make the card now disappear

from under your hand and reappear in my pocket,

underneath the box.

So hand flat on top of it please, okay, here we go.

I believe the six has disappeared.

Slowly, lift your hand up and out the way.

Okay, technically that has disappeared.

What was it again?

The six of? - Diamonds.

- Six of diamonds, it's now changed to the nine of hearts,

so technically the six of diamonds has disappeared

and in my pocket, no, no box, oh Jesus!

On the table, there it is.

Under the box, the six of diamonds,

thank you very much indeed, and

believe it or not, that is in fact how

we are we all going to steal the painting.

- Oh.

- Any of you see the Mona Lisa go?

- Oh no.

- That's how we are going to do it.

Good. - Amazing.

- Mystified, quite annoyed with myself.

I knew one had to keep eyes on everything.

And of course you don't.

- [Derren] It's amazing what you can miss

when your attention is directed elsewhere.

- It just goes to show that with diversion it's possible

to lose things right under people's noses.

- [Derren] Ivan Massow, is an art collector, entrepreneur,

and philanthropist.

He's known for using his wealth

to promote cultural and social causes close to his heart.

- How much is it? - Yeah.

- [Derren] In the art world,

he's one of the most connected people in the business

and was Chairman of the Institute

for Contemporary Arts in London.

And I've assembled a group of pensioners

to help me pull off the impossible robbery.

- How do I feel, the sort of stock answer to that is,

oh, I still feel 21 at heart.

But I don't.

When I was 21, I was very green, very shy.

Thank God I don't feel like that anymore.

I just feel 74 and that's good.

I love being retired, I love being able to do things

because I want to do them,

because that's something I feel passionately about perhaps

or just interested in.

Expectations of the old should be challenged.

Stereotypes of the dear little old lady.

Oh what a tangled web we weave when first

we practise to deceive.

And I wonder what kind of a tangled web

I'll be getting into.

(light piano music)

- [Derren] On the day of the robbery,

which is only a few weeks away,

Ivan and his security guard

will be watching the painting like hawks.

So the only way to steal it is through misdirection.

So I need to teach our team

how to control people's attention.

So we're going to work up to a painting,

but today we're gonna start off with something

a little more manageable.

Afternoon.

- [Audience] Hello.

- I'm putting yourself down here.

Lovely to see you all.

Welcome to Brighton.

- Thank you, indeed. - Nice day out here.

- This is very nice, isn't it?

We've withheld lunch from you for a good reason.

Today you're going to learn about misdirection

and distraction and working together as a team.

- Right.

- The task today is to steal chips.

- Should be fun.

- So we have a place set up,

a fish and chip place over there,

which we're filming with hidden cameras.

So you can approach people.

You can ask for directions.

You can ask for help.

I'll let you work out your own strategies.

You've gotta appeal for as many as you can.

And it will be boys versus girls.

- Oh, I like that.

- So Joe and Tony, you're gonna be up first, all right?

- That's fine.

- Great, so I'll let you

work out your strategies over here.

- Ladies, come with me.

- Well, Joe, what do you think?

- All right, Tony, well, it's a game of distractions.

That's what it seems.

- Are you good at stealing, or are you good at distracting?

That's the question.

Well I think I'm good at distracting,

- You distract I'll steal,

- And you nick the chips. - Yeah, yeah.

- As long as you don't eat them all.

(Joe laughs)

Let's go.

(upbeat music)

- [Derren] Joe and Tony seem pretty confident

without really having worked out a strategy.

But a good story is key here and choosing the right target.

- [Joe] What about this bloke here on his own.

- Yeah, but which way will you go for the chips?

Which way do you want to go?

- Just, admire his bike, it's a Falcon.

Sorry, mate, how many gears is your falcon?

- How many?

- Yeah.

This one is it.

- I can't...

- Can I taste your chip?

- No. - No, sorry mate.

- [Derren] Caught red handed on their first attempt.

- [Joe] Right, come on Tony.

- [Derren] But they're taking full advantage

of the fact they're pensioners,

no one expects them to be up to no good.

- [Joe] I grabbed one and he saw me.

(laughing)

- Just look at the map, Tony, so that

with that they'll know that we are lost.

Excuse me, young man, are you a local?

- I'm not, no, I'm not.

- You can't help me with,

I'm trying to find Hollingbury Park,

you see, and I was looking up there.

Wasn't that the pier that burned down?

- Yeah.

- So where is Hollingbury Park compared

to that, do you know?

Because I was thinking it must be there.

- What about, so wait, on there, Tony.

- We are here, aren't we?

We must be here.

- They've got one chip.

- We'll walk this way.

- Yeah, we'll try that side.

- Thanks a lot though.

- [Tony] Just one, is that all?

- That's solid gold, that there.

It's as mischievous as it gets because that's in essence

what it's all about.

- Yeah, yeah it is.

- Magnificent.

- Rather than lean on the table,

hold it up like that, so you cover the chips.

So you're providing a screen, does that make sense?

- [Tony] Pretend we're lost.

- I can't work that out can you...

- Ask this lady.

- Excuse me, young lady.

Can you help me a little bit, I'm a little bit lost.

Are we here somewhere?

See this Hollingbury Park, where is that

in relation to where we are?

- Miles away.

- Oh, are we?

- [Derren] They've taken her last chips.

- Thanks very much for the help.

Thank you. - Thank you.

- So at the moment you've got three to beat.

Not bad for the gents and using one thing to hide another,

like the map, will be a useful skill later on.

So let's see how the ladies do.

- Oh there is a fellow on his own.

- [Rachel] It's really good.

- Okay. - He's busy on the phone,

I think. - Even better, yeah.

- Come on then.

- Here they go.

- Oh sorry, you're on the phone.

I'm looking for Adelaide Crescent,

which I believe is down this way.

Do you know where it is?

- My friend... - I've lived here

for a long time but I'm really bad.

- Okay, don't worry, I'll try somebody else.

- Ask someone there, maybe.

- Yeah, that's a good idea.

Yeah, let's try somebody else.

(laughs)

- (laughs) That was great.

I think exhilarating is the word.

- Excuse me, do you know how to use these phones?

I need a photograph.

You're pretty bad at that sort of thing,

well, that was no answer.

Well, I can't even get it on to, photograph.

I don't know, can you just come point me up?

I need a good photograph, over there somewhere, so can you?

Yeah, just one there would be fine.

(camera shutter clicking)

- I should have waited longer, but she got her eyes on me.

- Look at these. (laughs)

- So it's three plus one, isn't it?

- Yes. - Yes, it's three plus one.

- So you guys actually got four.

- Yes - We did.

- You are the champions, congratulations, ladies.

(laughing) So I guess, lunch is on you.

- Yes.

- Lunch on the boys.

Let's go and eat.

- Let's go and eat.

- A good day's work, well done I think, what do you think?

- I think you did really well Pauline.

(swing music)

- [Pauline] I don't feel that I'm growing old at all.

I feel quite young in many ways.

Maybe because I don't act old and I still foot, you see.

Time has no meaning to me and it doesn't worry me at all.

I know I'm going to come back anyway.

I may come back as a spider.

When you've got belief like that,

getting old doesn't worry you.

My life in Brunswick Gardens is very varied.

But the highlight would have to be

being crowned the first Miss Brunswick Gardens.

I do trust Derren implicitly and I'm sure it's

going to be a good plan and we're going to get away with it.

(bird squawking)

- So although don't realise it, our pensioners

have learnt a lot of crucial skills today,

which they will need if they're going to

successfully steal a painting

from Ivan Massow's exhibition.

But that's the last bit of fun

they're going to have for a while.

With the day of the robbery only a few weeks away.

Things have to get a lot more serious now.

So tonight you're going to need these, excuse me.

(dramatic music)

- Now I want to ramp up that feeling of criminality.

And to take you a step nearer,

the sort of feelings you're going to have to deal with

when you are stealing a real painting

from under the nose of the real security guard.

All right.

I've given the pensioners cases full of spray paint

and pointed them towards a large white wall

to do their worst.

We're filming all this covertly and from a distance.

There's a very real chance the team will get challenged

by angry local residents.

What they spray is completely up to their imaginations.

(spray paint canisters whizzing)

- Can't see now, my glasses are all steamed up.

I'm skipping down now.

I'm going, go on there.

Yes, look.

- [Bystander] That's vandalism!

- [Derren] An unexpected member of the public

is voicing his objections.

- No, no, were just having a bit of fun, it's okay.

- We're artists... - We're having a bit of fun.

- Think you can just paint all over stuff.

- [Pauline] You know he's going to phone police.

- Has he gone for the police?

- Yeah, probably.

- [Police Officer] Excuse me,

what do you think you are doing?

Excuse me!

- Yeah.

- Could you put the can down, please?

- Okay. - Yeah.

- [Rachel] Nothing wrong.

- He said art society.

- Step away from the can, please.

- [Police Officer] Art society?

- Yeah, freedom of expression.

- Sir, get away from the can.

Have you got any form of identification, or anything?

- [Joe] Sorry, officer.

- [Derren] I'm being kept out of the way

while the producers go in and explain.

- We're filming for Channel 4,

sorry, we did, we got permission to do it.

- Okay. - It's all right,

give us a second, guys.

So basically, we were told we didn't need it, so we got,

proper permissions, just trying to sort it out.

So basically. - Very sorry, yeah.

- There's a misunderstanding, very embarrassing.

- Excuse me and you are sir?

- Sorry, I'm the executive producer...

- Right, so could you go and talk to my colleague, please.

- I have, but I just need to...

- Please go talk to him.

- I just need to reassure these guys...

- Excuse me, sir, if you can just step into...

- Just give me two seconds, everything will be fine.

- Can I ask you to step back, sir.

- Terrible. - We're fine.

- Something to laugh about. - If I could do it quickly.

- You'd have thought they'd have informed

the local police, wouldn't you?

- Right, my colleague's been on with control,

we're normally told about this sort of thing.

- Yeah.

- All right? - All right.

- Because he's saying it's for a film.

- Yeah.

- But I can't allow that sort of thing, all right?

- Yeah.

- Therefore, listen in, I'm arresting the four of you

on suspicion of criminal damage.

You do not have to say anything,

but it may harm your defence.

- [Derren] Unfortunately they're not interested

in any further discussion.

- Anything you do say, may be given in evidence,

do you understand that?

- Yeah. - Yup.

- We have a microphone, we have cameras.

- Okay, I'm not going to touch that.

But what we'll do is we can get that sorted out

when we get back to the nick.

Come with me.

- I'm so sorry, guys, this is honestly.

- Okay, fine, fine, fine.

(dramatic music)

- [Derren] Actually this task isn't about graffiti.

I want the team to experience what it's like

being caught red-handed.

And of course those policemen are actors

being watched now by the real police

who have arrived unexpectedly in the background.

This was meant to be an exercise, to shake up the team a bit

and get them out of their comfort zone.

But it quickly becomes clear that Tony is reacting

really badly to being locked up.

- [Tony] Excuse me, I'm having difficulty breathing.

Can you just let us get some air, please, I can't breathe.

- [Man] He's saying he can't breathe,

Derren, you should get in there.

- [Tony] Excuse me.

(knocking)

- [Derren] I can't let this go any further.

Okay, let's stop this, do you want to come out?

It's okay, come out, come out, come out.

- [Pauline] You are joking.

(laughing) - Yup.

- [Pauline] Anything you all say.

- Can you get the ladies out as well?

Can we get the ladies out, too.

Pull the plug.

(murmuring)

Pauline, come here, okay.

These are not real police so you can breathe.

It's all right.

I did this, because I needed you to have experience

getting caught.

So you would know what that was like,

so that if it happens on the day,

you won't panic.

- [Pauline] It won't happen again. (laughs)

- [Derren] I just needed you to know.

- [Pauline] Yes.

- Obviously, if it does happen on the day,

these are real security people in the day.

These are not real policemen.

These are actors but on the day, it will be real security,

but I just needed you to go...

- They are very good.

- They're very good, aren't they?

But I just needed you to go through that now.

So you'd have that experience on it.

So you've dealt with that now, already, okay?

Forgive me?

- Yes.

- All right.

- So they are all actors?

- [Derren] Yeah.

- It was extremely well done because

I was well taken in with that.

- Come say hello. - Hello.

- Hello, fellow, you've got the look.

- Nothing personal here, just doing my job.

- [Derren] Tony is a bit shaken now,

but this is an experience that will be crucial for him

on the day of the robbery.

(light music)

- Being on stage with my rock band in the '60s.

Playing at the Palais.

Those are all the highlights of my life.

The lowest ebb was when my wife passed away.

There was nothing I could do to save her.

Certainly I've missed my wife every second, since she died.

But life must go on.

I see myself as a person who is constantly reliable,

someone who is flexible and adaptable to every situation.

The opportunity Derren has given me is marvellous.

And that's what makes life exciting.

- I would have been...

- Did you really think that we would have gone

into a cell that night, 'cause I did.

- There's one more specific skill

I need someone from the team to learn.

It will play a vital role in the art theft,

which is now only a couple of weeks away.

So Tony, Joe, there's something I need you both to learn.

And this will play a specific role in our art theft.

You'll be playing the part of an old man,

with heavy shopping, who needs help across the road.

If you just lift your arm up like that, so I can just hang,

nice and strong, I can hang on to you.

It's also going to give you a chance

to play up to people's preconceptions of older people

and use that to your advantage.

- Have you got arthritis or something?

- Oh no, I'm a little,

I gotta be ever so careful, I gotta be ever so careful.

- Come on, come on.

- And the reason why I've chosen you for this

is that you both play instruments.

You play the guitar?

- Yes I do.

- And you play the tuba. - Yeah.

- And it's that dexterity with your fingers

that's going to be useful here, as well.

Now do you know, is that the post office out there?

Is that, is it that way to the post office?

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- Thank you for your help, sorry to take your time.

- Are you okay? - Yeah, I'm alright.

I'm gonna teach you how to steal a watch.

- No. - What?

- Off someone's wrist.

- Goodness. - Never.

- So did you feel much?

No, give it a look.

- Good, God.

- There you go.

Excellent, come on, I'll show you how it's done.

Now it's all about breaking it down into stages.

So forgetting at the moment,

the walking and the things that

I'm doing with the shopping bag,

that gives you the cover that you need.

So first thing is your thumb goes there

and your middle finger goes round

to find the end of that strap.

Next thing you want to do is just get the strap out

of those little loops.

And all that is, is that this middle finger,

just works it up like that.

The next step is the fiddly bit.

And this is where I did a little stumble,

which gives me a bit of cover.

Because you actually got to give a little,

little tug to the strap.

So I need to get this strap back,

so this pin pops out.

You're just pulling the strap up.

And as you pull it up, you leave it off to one side

just a little bit and you can see that pin just pops out.

That's all you need, but because

this is off to one side now,

it means these holes aren't in line with the pin

so they can't get back in, does that make sense?

Because the next stage is now,

I'm still keeping my thumb on the face of the watch,

is to roll this down and out.

So do you see, it's still that middle finger

supposed to do this work.

So it's now hanging off.

I've got it, it's just still on his wrist.

And then the last bit is simply

distract him whilst taking the watch.

And if you like, you can say, sorry, I took your time.

(piano music)

Stumble.

I spent several hours rehearsing the routine

with Tony and Joe.

And when you're ready to start pulling that strap up.

That's when you hand me the bag.

- That bloody thing slipped again. (laughs)

- Ooh, sorry.

- [Derren] And then sent them off

to practise the moves at home.

- Thank you very much! - That's all right.

- [Joe] It's a busy life.

The phone's always hot, I'm up and about most days.

Brass band, this dance team, the socialising,

the local pub.

- Cheers. - Cheers, my dear.

Having an enthusiasm for life is important

and you should be able to bring that to anything

that you're asked to do.

- Who could go out on drunk, Joe.

- Good.

I can be an enthusiastic member

and have a positive input.

That's the way that I've always been all my life.

- After a week at home,

practising his watch-stealing,

Joe seems the most confident.

I've brought him back to London

to try out his skills on the public.

So, Joe, you've had almost a week of being here to practise

the watch stealing, how's it been going?

- It's been a bit of fun.

- Yeah, who have you tried on?

- Friends in the pub mainly.

- And with success?

- Just one. - Okay.

- After several attempts.

- Right.

Well, we have a zebra-crossing down there.

That's where you're going to be asking

to help across the road. - Right.

- We also have a little camera unit down there.

Can you see them?

- Oh yeah.

- And they're going to be stopping people

and just doing a little survey

and they're going to ask people for the time.

So they're going to see if someone's wearing a watch.

If they are, they'll ask a couple of questions

and then send them on their way and give you a thumbs up

so you know at least that person is wearing a watch.

- Okay.

- All right? - Yeah.

- How you feeling about doing this today

on a real member of the public?

- I'd be daft if I said I weren't nervous, yeah.

But, you've trained me up, so I'm going for it.

- Yeah, good luck.

It's going to be nerve-racking watching you

but I'm sure, you'll do a great job.

All right. - Okay, Derren.

- Bye. - Bye.

- [Derren] The targets here don't know

that Joe is involved in the filming

and they've got no idea he's trying to steal their watch.

- Young man, young man,

would you take me over the road, please?

Please, will you help me.

I'm terrified, I nearly got killed yesterday.

- No worries.

- You all right? - Yeah no worries.

- Just hold this bag for me, hold on,

we're going a bit too fast here now.

Are we all right? - Okay.

- Thank you very much, bye bye.

Couldn't get the strap out at all today, sorry, lads.

- He's only had a week to practise,

so it's difficult, it's very tough.

- Young man, young man.

- Could you take me over the road, please?

- Yeah.

- Just let me have your arm, got a bad ache.

Don't rush me, will you? - Of course not.

- Just give me your arm, will you.

- Yeah, of course.

- I nearly got killed here yesterday.

- It's all right, don't worry, it's all right.

- You can come on this way.

- Oh, I'd sooner stand here, all right.

I'm worried about this place, I've had really, really,

are you okay?

- Yeah, I'm good, I'm good. - You good?

You've got strong arms.

Thank you very much. - You're all right.

- Okay, take care. - Thank you, okay, bye.

Didn't get the pin out.

- Thank you, nice day.

- All right, bye.

He saw stick straight to him.

- That guy was too savvy, he wasn't having it.

No success so far, but it's not for want of try,

and Joe's giving it his absolute best.

One more go at it.

- Could you see me over the road, please?

Just give me your arm.

If you don't mind, I've had an operation, I nearly got...

- Oh, really?

- I nearly got killed here yesterday.

- Oh, really, okay.

I've had a hip operation, you see.

- Take your time, slow down, slow down.

- Don't rush me.

- I know I've got a watch there, watch out.

- Don't rush me, lad.

- He's forgetting everything.

- Thank you very much. - You're welcome.

- Okay, well, thank you.

Got it out, he felt it coming off.

- It's getting very cold as well,

I guess probably his fingers have,

I think we have to knock this on the head, don't we?

Okay.

So not much luck.

- Not much luck at all.

- Let me take that from you.

- Thank you.

- So what was it like when you kind of,

did you tell what was going wrong, was it just...

- It wasn't that I was frightened

of approaching my public, or my target.

- Yeah.

- It was the dexterity and the actual control

of the situations where it probably went wrong.

I'm just disappointed that I didn't actually come away

with the goods for you, Derren,

and sometimes you feel like you're letting the team down.

- Oh, no no no.

No, you were great and you were really brave

and I appreciate it, I'll work something out.

That really didn't go as planned.

(light music)

So everything I've arranged for our little team

has been for a reason, the stealing chips,

the tangling with authorities,

the stealing watches.

These tasks should have taught them specific skills,

which they're gonna need in order to pull off the art theft.

Although having said that,

it turns out that stealing a watch takes longer than

a week to learn,

which is a bit of a stumbling block for us.

And now that element of the plan

is going to need a complete rethink.

It's six days until I plan to steal a painting

from art collector Ivan Massow.

I've been working with my team of pensioners

for three weeks now.

Helping them discover the skills they'll need

to pull off the robbery.

It's time to make the final preparations

and tell them how they're actually going to do it.

Hello.

- Hello. - Hello there, Derren.

- So today things get a bit more serious.

I'm going to show you exactly what you'll be stealing

and start to rehearse you

in exactly how you will be stealing it.

- Right.

- We've had a replica of the gallery built here

to the exact specifications of the real gallery.

The exhibition is of the Chapman Brothers.

Their pieces hang in some of the finest

contemporary art galleries across the world

and sell for millions.

So it's a really special exhibition.

- All right.

- The piece you are going to steal is this.

This is the piece, it's called

One Day You Will No Longer Be Loved,

thoughts, like, dislike?

- Very upsetting picture. - It is isn't it?

- [Pauline] Really gets you.

- It is quite disturbing.

It's one of my favourite pieces of theirs,

and it's worth about 100,000 pounds.

- Oh, can we keep it after this?

- No sadly, we have to give it back,

but let me show you how you're going

to steal it, come with me.

(upbeat music)

First things first, this is Ivan.

He is putting on the exhibition.

He used to be the Chairman of

The Institute of Contemporary Arts.

And this is the gallery.

As part of the arrangement with Ivan,

I've obtained the plans for the pop-up exhibition.

When the temporary gallery gets built next week,

it will be to these precise blueprints.

The main entrance is here.

This is the way in, and the only way out.

You go up a little ramp into the main gallery space.

The security camera is just there.

So our target painting is about there.

All this make sense?

- Yeah. - Yes.

(camera shutter clicking)

- Every movement of yours

will be very carefully choreographed.

So you have four very specific jobs.

Joe, you are the actor.

- All right, a couple of snaps.

What's the matter, I'm not doing any harm.

- Rachel, you are the lifter.

Pauline, you are the blocker.

- Can't stop me, this is the old person.

- [Employee] Can you put them back in your pocket?

- [Joe] Well all right, all right,

but I think you're thinking of me, myself.

- Cool, love it.

Just something I caught under my eye there.

And Tony, you are the invisible man.

- You shouldn't be picking on me,

you should be doing your jobs.

Quickly, a cue for Tony, is when I say gone.

- It's gone, yeah.

We'll just have a look at the ducking thing

for you on the screen.

Just give it a tiny beat, all right?

- Yeah. - So gone, turn.

And you also have a couple of members

of friends and family here as well

because they'll be playing the small but important part.

(upbeat music)

The security protocol is that

anybody called trying to steal a painting is taken

into this office here meanwhile,

everybody else is evacuated.

- Action again.

- Action again, let's do it again.

Okay, we've got a painting missing.

Beautifully done, I didn't see a thing. (laughs)

So you've done great, we've practised this

for a couple of hours now and it's looking really good.

Now, you're going to do this

in front of a real security guard.

(gasping)

- We're gonna get arrested again.

- Well, can we, can we bring him in.

- That's a copper's walk.

- Kevin, the guard knows nothing

about what we're planning to do.

Hi, Kevin.

- Hi. - Derren, lovely to meet you.

Thank you for coming in.

So you're going to be standing in first

for the security guard

who'll be in the gallery next week.

All I'm going to tell you

is what the security guard will know on the day.

He's been given this photograph here

of somebody who he suspects

is going to try and steal the painting

and that the painting, if there is an attempted theft,

it's going to be this painting here, all right?

That's the information he'll be briefed with.

The other thing is,

there's absolutely no photography allowed in the gallery.

- Sure.

- But if you can take a seat there that's

where your seat will be,

if you don't mind, thank you.

Everyone in positions.

Okay, off you go.

This is an identical shot,

to the one Ivan will be watching on the day.

Knowing that this is the painting

we're going to try and steal.

- Oh, excuse me, am I all right for a couple of photos.

Personal use, you understand?

- Just a couple. - No sir, no sir,

it's against gallery policy.

- Beg your Pardon?

- It's against gallery policy.

- Oh really, right.

- Thank you.

- Okay, Okay.

- Sir, sir.

Sir. - What's the matter?

- It's against gallery policy, Sir.

- What's against, me? - Taking photos.

- What do you mean I'm against gallery policy?

What am I doing?

- Calm down, sir.

- You cannot have...

- I've got as much entitlement as all the rest

of the people in here with their cameras.

- You can't take photos in here, sir.

- I'm not causing any damage, I'm not causing no trouble,

what's the matter with you? - It's against gallery...

- I don't see what you're getting onto me about.

I think you just don't like my face, that's what I think.

I think you are taking it personal.

That's what I think, anyway.

Oh, lucky, you know, look, you know,

you made me drop all my tools.

Look at the state of this, what's the matter.

- Stay there, sir.

- Can we just pick them up?

- Security to white wing, sir.

- Look, look, you were picking on me,

there's no need for this whatsoever.

Can we just pick these up?

I need them for my car.

I need these for my car.

- Stay there, sir. - What was the problem?

- It's an offensive weapon sir.

- What is the problem?

You don't like my face, that's what the problem is.

That's what I think anyway.

I'll tell you what it is.

I'm as good in here as any of the rest of these people.

And anyway, what's your occupation?

What's your job in here?

- Security.

- Security, security you say.

Well, if you're on security,

I suggest you don't bother about me and about that picture,

carney, and bother about that one over there,

'cause it's gone the man with the beard.

And he's appeared over here, look.

(clapping)

- Well done, that was,

that was great.

That was really good.

(upbeat music)

So if this routine worked, Ivan will notice that this

painting has disappeared and appeared over here

in place of the target painting.

It's down to an optical illusion right next to the camera.

This is a table with a sign that will say donations welcome

in the real gallery.

- So the camera...

- So the camera that is blocking all of this.

A photograph of the wall

is attached to the back of the sign.

When it's flipped into position,

it looks like we're looking at the wall,

but actually everything behind the sign

is hidden from the CCTV camera.

So at the moment they can't see you,

and now they can.

The sign is edge on to the guard,

so he won't be able to see it from his post here.

Step one on the day,

flip that illusion into place without Ivan

or the guard noticing.

But be careful, stand in the wrong place,

and it's game over because you'll be half in, half out.

Then it's step two.

Joe, you are the actor,

your job is to be a nuisance

and distract the guard's attention

as well as Ivan's watching the CCTV.

Rachel, you are the lifter,

whilst everyone else is looking at Joe,

you quietly lift the distraction painting

off the far wall and keeping it front

onto the security camera you rest it behind the table.

- What do you mean...

- When Joe draws the guard over to the other side,

Pauline, you are the blocker,

you shield the painting, which Rachel is holding

behind your back.

Tony, you are the invisible man.

Because Ivan won't be able to see you on the CCTV.

So whilst the guard is looking at Joe,

you, Tony, switch painting A, the target,

for painting B, handed to you by Rachel.

Finally, you remove the optical illusion.

Ivan will suddenly notice that painting B has disappeared

from the far wall and jumped over to the other wall.

That's how we fall Ivan.

Meanwhile, the guard is so distracted

that Rachel and Pauline, you quietly slip away

with the target painting, and that's the plan.

(clapping)

- Well done, that was great, that was really good.

- Can we go home now, mister?

- Yeah, you can go home now.

(laughter)

(light music)

Ivan's exhibition is ready and about to open.

Welcome to the secret gallery.

Ivan with our help is presenting this exhibition

of the Chapman Brothers' work

to raise awareness for The Charity Action for Children.

So tonight is the opening night of the exhibition.

It's also the night before

we try and steal a 100,000 pound painting

right off the wall.

So we have security feeds from the cameras

inside the gallery.

So we can see the preparations for the big launch.

There are brochures going in,

furniture for food and drinks

and the last minute preparations for the catering,

which we're providing.

And later on, we'll send in our own cameras

and film the big party.

But first we need one unexpected delivery

to slip past the gallery staff.

A table with the optical illusion sign

for tomorrow's robbery.

- Hi, we've come from Action for Children.

- [Derren] Rachel must persuade the receptionist

that she actually works for the charity.

- We're from Action for Children,

we've got the table to set up.

- Oh, yes.

- Do it again, so, may we go in?

- [Derren] Gallery security is all about

stopping things leaving.

I'm banking on them paying less attention

to things coming in.

Right now that optical illusion

is folded away and hidden.

She's done it.

(dramatic music)

(crowd chattering)

Before long, the party is in full swing

with invited art lovers and celebrities.

There are the Chapman Brothers whose art hangs on the wall.

And of course there's Ivan Massow, who's hosting the party.

- I genuinely haven't got a clue what he's up to

or how this is going to pan out.

I just don't know.

- Okay, so just to be clear,

it's the opening night of the gallery.

It's a private viewing.

Your names are on the guest list.

Have a wander around and just familiarise yourself

with the space and remind yourself

what you're going to be doing.

Above all, you do not know me.

All right, are you ready?

- Yeah. - Let's do it.

- Away, don't miss it.

(crowd chattering)

- Sir Williams.

- [Derren] The pensioners are going into the real gallery

with real paintings, worth hundreds of thousands of pounds.

Their task here is to mark the positions

where they can safely stand tomorrow.

They're using small pieces of sticky tape

to mark out the danger zone without arousing suspicion.

If they overstep these marks tomorrow,

they'll disappear behind the sign on the CCTV shot

and the game will be up.

They're off before Ivan starts wondering

who exactly they are.

- I'm quite excited, I'm a bit of a fan in weird way

so quite excited to see if he can pull it off but,

I just don't know how he's going to do it.

- [Derren] Tomorrow is the big day

and they'll need to cope with their nerves

if they're going to pull off the theft

and help me win that one pound wager.

- [Pauline] I do enjoy performing on stage.

And I think I have a bit of an ability

to turn nerves into excitement,

which is a wonderful feeling.

- [Tony] They say practise makes perfect.

And we've really got no excuse for failing.

Hopefully tomorrow we should be

in possession of the painting.

Shame I can't take it home.

The money would come in extremely useful.

- [Joe] Still a bit anxious.

Just wondering if the partnership's going to work,

where we all have good timing.

- [Rachel] It's a big thing.

We've got to do it right.

Well, we've had enough of the pretend,

this is going to be the real thing

and we're really, really going to do it.

(light music)

- [Derren] It's the day of the robbery.

My team of pensioners have had a month's worth of training

and in five hours time,

they'll have just one chance to steal a painting

from this man, Ivan Massow, art collector and millionaire.

- Thanks very much indeed.

(Ivan laughs)

- Morning.

- Very good, how are you?

- Hello, good, good to see you.

- This is so exciting.

- This seems like a good time

for me to catch up with him

and see how his preparations have got on.

(dramatic music)

So the big day today.

- It is.

- How are you feeling?

You're feeling confident or...

- I feel pretty confident actually,

I don't think you can do it.

- Okay, fair enough.

You've hired in your own private security for this.

- I have, in the end, I went with my own guy.

He's done the security for me in the past.

He's actually also a big guy.

He also works with my personal trainer,

but I really trust him.

I'll be surprised if you can get past him.

- All right, makes it more difficult, but good.

And you're going to fill him in on everything you know.

- Three o'clock.

- Three o'clock, the painting

One Day You Will No Longer Be Loved.

And yeah, the picture of the guy that's gonna do it.

Do you want to have have another look,

familiarise yourself, as well.

- Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

(drum beats)

(laughing)

- Great, so we're going to be

watching the security feed together.

- We'll see the whole thing play out.

You got a pound on you in case you lose.

- I do.

- Great, good.

All right, well, I'll see you a little bit later.

- Indeed, see you then.

- Excellent.

(clock ticking)

(dramatic music)

- This is it.

The exhibition is open.

Our little team is waiting around the corner,

waiting for their cues to go in.

When they have to go into the gallery.

The security guard knows the painting

we're going to try and steal

and knows when that's going to happen,

which is at three o'clock.

And then between Ivan and our production team

and the insurers of the exhibition,

we have agreed on a protocol

so the paintings don't get damaged.

So if anything goes wrong, if it all goes wrong,

the paintings have to go back on the walls

and the security guard will hold whoever he catches

in the middle security office.

And the reception lady will evacuate everybody

from the gallery, guard it outside.

The whole gallery goes into lockdown.

That's if it all goes wrong.

So that's it, really, I mean,

I've trained them as much as I can.

We've rehearsed it as much as we can.

And now it's down to them.

It's shortly before 3:00 p.m.

The time that I told Ivan my team would steal his painting.

Pauline, Rachel and Tony are about to enter the gallery.

The security feed shows that Ivan's guard is at his post

and the receptionist is watching the front of house

and entrance.

As soon as they're in, Pauline's husband, Victor,

takes position outside.

His job is to turn genuine visitors away

by claiming there's been a fire alarm inside.

Pauline's first crucial task is to distract the guard.

- Excuse me, have you ever worked with

the security team at Ruskind Galleries...

- [Derren] Giving Rachel cover to flip

the optical illusion into place.

- No, are you sure?

You've not got a brother, or a cousin.

Oh, I'm sorry. - Beautifully done.

- But you know, this kind of thing does happen.

- Everything looks normal,

but the target painting is now hidden from Ivan.

- Completely different, oh, sorry about that.

- So we're going to watch from in here,

don't hurt yourself.

Let me give you that, thank you.

- Thanks very much.

- Sit yourself down. - Okay.

- There's the security.

- There is your security guard.

So as you know, Ivan, this is

obviously the main gallery space.

So this is the painting there.

This is the door, it's the only door, in and out.

This is the little temporary security office.

- Going to get my picture out.

- Oh yeah, yeah, that's a good one.

- (laughs) See if I can recognise any of these people.

- I think, run it away off here.

- He must be getting nervous. (laughs)

Poor lamb.

(light music)

- With just moments to go, here comes Joe,

along with some friends and family helpers.

Ah, look what they're pulling.

- (laughs) This is so funny.

- So you shouldn't have seen the flat thing,

ideally you wouldn't have spotted that, but that's okay.

We've blown it with Ivan.

Maybe the pensioners

can still get away with the painting

if they fool the guard.

- He's staring right at it, so I can't...

- It's dangerously close. - Dangerously close.

(light music)

- Sir, all right for a couple of photos?

- Sorry, you can't take any pictures.

- No pictures? - No pictures.

All right, okay.

(intense music)

What's wrong?

What's the matter?

- You can't take pictures.

- What did you say?

- I said no pictures.

- Is this your rule or the the manager's?

- It's the manager's rule.

- I've never had this treatment before

when I've been in an art gallery.

I don't know what was going on.

- Sorry.

- What are you playing at? - Sorry.

- I've got rights, you know.

- Listen, you can't take pictures, end off,

no arguments. - Why is that?

What's the problem?

What is the problem?

Sorry, sorry.

It's only a joke.

- Just turned over... - It's only a joke.

It's only a joke.

- [Tony] I was trying to look at it in the light.

What have I done?

- I'm trying to look at it in the light.

- Told him it's only a joke. - Because that light

isn't very bright. - It's only a joke.

Look, it's only a joke.

- I'm trying to look at it in the light.

- It's only a joke.

- What are you doing right here?

- I'm only trying to look at the picture in the light.

- It's only a joke.

- Fantastic, so, we're going to wait in here.

Sit down boys, make yourselves comfortable, sit down.

- [Derren] The security protocol has kicked in.

- Sit down.

- [Derren] The guard has his instructions

to detain any suspects in the office

and make sure the paintings go back on the wall.

Meanwhile, the gallery is being evacuated.

Right, that didn't work.

- What's he got in his hand?

- He's got the painting.

He's not insured to carry that around.

- Someone alert the guard please, right now, thank you.

- Okay, Derren. - Yeah.

- We need to have a chat. - Yeah.

Sorry, one second.

I probably owe you a pound, there you go.

- [Interviewer] Ivan just looking at me, mate.

I'm sorry, can I get your instant reactions.

How'd you feel about that?

- We'll, I'm disappointed, I wanted him to do it.

I didn't really want to win this pound. (laughs)

I'm such a fan of Derren.

- [Interviewer] Talk me through

what's going on with Derren.

He's obviously fallen apart, he's obviously lost it.

- What seems to have happened is that it looks like

what I can see the guy's...

- [Interviewer] Putting it back on.

- So he's,

and he's caught, apprehended, the felons, but.

- [Interviewer] I'm sorry, have we got a close up there?

- [Film Crew] Yeah.

- [Interviewer] Happy?

Okay, so I'll just check, just say one to 10 for me again.

- One, two, three,

four, six, seven, eight. - Sound could you just go and

check the personal here a second.

- Nine, 10.

- I'm just getting a little bit of a rustle.

Rustling on your jacket.

That's better, isn't it?

Okay, back up questions, here we go.

Ivan, just tell me about exactly your reaction to

winning the bet against Derren.

- Winning my pound.

Yeah, I'm disappointed to have won.

'Cause Derren's put a lot of effort, so

I still can't quite believe it.

Does Derren ever lose?

I can't believe it,

it must be his first. (laughs)

- [Interviewer] Can I have now a super close up,

please, of Ivan.

So what do you, what are you gonna do with that pound?

- Well, I thought I might buy some chewing gum maybe,

but then, there's at least 40p left, so

probably give it to charity, I think.

- So, it is now,

what do you make the exact time?

- Seven minutes past.

- Is that the correct time?

Yeah. - Yep.

You set your own watch?

- I do set my own watch.

- You haven't taken it off today?

- I haven't taken it off except for in security.

- How do you do?

- Hello, good.

- Keys, coins, mobile phones, watches, braces.

(clock gears ticking)

- I did think I saw someone fiddle, but it can't be,

it is seven minutes past three.

- Right, so,

if that guy at security was one of us

and wasn't a real security guard

and your watch was put forward, then the real time would be,

what's the real time, John?

- It's 3:01 p.m.

- [Derren] It's 3:01.

So we're actually a bit fast.

So if it is 3:01, then that's only really one minute after

three o'clock, which is the time I said that the painting

would be stolen.

- Oh, no. (laughs)

- The gallery is locked now, it's locked outside.

It's been guarded from the front,

by the front of house girl.

You know the security protocol,

your security guard is in this room

with our two perpetrators, including the guy

you recognise from the photograph

and the painting is gone.

- Right.

- You might want to head round to the gallery

and try to work this one out.

- I cannot believe I'm gonna loose my pound. (laughs)

(light music)

- [Derren] So right now the receptionist

is guarding the locked front door,

having evacuated all visitors.

Except Tony and Joe who are being held by the guard

in the back office.

- Dan?

(dramatic music)

(laughs)

So, she's been standing on the front the whole way?

Like there is no other way in.

(chuckles)

Dan.

- That's what I was doing was tilting it to the light.

- So where is the picture?

- It's on the wall.

- No it's not.

- Well, I put it back on the wall.

- It's not on the wall, Dan.

- Yeah, but, I put it back on the wall.

Whether it's not there now, I put it back

and I was instructed to come back in here,

so I did it and that was it.

- Well it's just, come and have a look.

(bright piano music)

100,000 pound painting.

- Absolutely, nice.

- Well, it's gotta be here somewhere, hasn't it?

- [Derren] The security guard has done his job

and followed instructions perfectly.

- You're free to go.

- [Derren] Ivan has no choice, but to let them go.

So Ivan knows the painting is gone,

but he's got no idea where it is or how it left the gallery.

I think he needs a bit of help with this.

- Your painting is at 53 Leather Lane.

I don't even know where Leather Lane is.

- [Filming Crew Member] Derren is in a car

around the corner waiting for you.

- Right, okay.

(bright piano music)

- So what happened in the gallery?

- Yeah, the picture is gone.

- How?

- I don't know and it's all over in Leather Lane.

I kind of knew you'd get away with it, only why.

(light music)

(clock ticking)

- After you.

Ivan is something of a philanthropist.

So I'm sure he'll approve of where he's going.

- 53.

Oh my God.

That's amazing.

So I can buy it.

I've come to buy the picture in the window.

- The painting right front?

- It's so weird, I happened to have a pound. (laughs)

Do you know how much this is worth? (laughs)

- No, I do not sorry.

- I'm going to pay you before I tell you.

- Thank you.

It's worth about 100,000.

- Really? - Exactly 100,000.

Oh, just of interest, is this is the guy who brought it in?

- It is actually, yeah.

- Well, thank you very much.

- Thank you.

- I'm gonna keep that, as a souvenir.

- Yeah.

(laughs)

- Careful, Ivan. - Thank you.

- Thank you so much, it's been fantastic.

- It's been a pleasure.

- You'll have to watch the show to work out how it was done.

- Don't even how you got it over here.

- I'll let you think about it.

Thank you very much indeed.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Bye bye. - Bye bye.

I just don't know what happened to be honest with you.

Well, I just looked back at the screen

and I saw it was gone pretty much immediately, I reckon.

But it must have been so fast because as I got to Dan

the security guard, he said, "I've just hung it up."

So in that little gap, it went missing,

the doors were locked, I can't see where they'd have hidden.

And in fact it was making its way all the way over here.

Which is pretty incredible.

(playful music)

("Clair de Lune")

- [Derren] That's it.

I think my team deserves a glass of champagne to celebrate.

(glass clinking)

Of course there's one or two things, I didn't tell you.

Hello. - Hello there.

I remember when Derren came to meet me,

and my twin brother Tom.

- Aye, the fantastic work.

- [Derren] You, Tom, will have probably the most important

role in the whole thing.

- You'll steal it, get blamed.

- We're not completely identical,

but when people see us for the first time,

they do have to do a double turn.

- [Derren] Whilst the other four were learning

the skills they needed for the robbery,

Tom the twin was getting ready too,

he even had a go at stealing chips.

- Are we here somewhere?

It's absolutely insane was that.

- [Derren] So Tom's first big moment was earlier in the day

during the shift of the morning guard.

He'd gone into the gallery and was waiting for a distraction

that I'd arranged, an actor playing a drunk.

- There's nothing round there mate.

- [Derren] As soon as that guard's back was turned,

Tom slipped under the table.

- Can I have a cigarette? - No, you can't.

- [Derren] The same table, which was brought in by us

as part of our catering team, as you'll remember.

When Dan, Ivan's main guard came on shift,

Tom was already under there.

- Sorry, sorry.

- [Derren] The guard caught my team red-handed,

just as we'd hoped.

X, Y, and Z, I want you to get caught.

- But why? - But why?

- Derren is just a cheeky man.

- [Derren] And at exactly 3:00 p.m.

Tom came out to steal the painting.

That wheelchair had been brought in with the charity table

the day before, it had a pocket

with the perfect dimensions to hide the painting.

- It must be his first.

- I banged on door, can you let me out?

- Want to go, can I, sorry?

- [Derren] The receptionist was horrified to have locked in

an old man in a wheelchair.

In fact, it'll be a member of your staff, who'll help us

leave with the painting.

(chuckling)

And all the time, Ivan thought Joe being held by the guard

was the thief in the photo.

But it was twin Tom all along.

And that, believe it or not,

is how we're going to steal the painting.

One day, hopefully, each of us will be elderly.

By then, we will have learned things about life

and ourselves, about what's important

and what we really want.

Things we might be decades away from knowing now.

We might like our future selves to be respected

and treated with the dignity they deserve,

and doing that might be one of the clearest celebrations

of humanity we know.

- Being part of this convinced me

that moving back to Bolton was what I needed to do.

Found a few of my friends,

and I will track the rest down eventually.

And I'm much happier.

- This whole experience has been uplifting, fantastic.

Something I never, ever dreamt that I would ever do.

- I never thought at my time of life

I'd be part of anything like this.

It's been truly amazing.

- Yes, all my family, friends and relations were saying,

"Oh, what have you let yourself in for, really, Mum?

"You shouldn't be doing this."

And I'm very glad I did.

- What's been happening to me is that

all these watches appearing.

And I've been taking them off lady friends and gentlemen,

and I really don't know if there's an answer to this,

but I've got to stop it.

I'm just surrounded with watches

and everybody, poof's, got none.

It's... (laughs)

- So that's it.

They stole the painting.

We won the wager, thank you for watching, this is,

oh no, that's not it is it?

That's not quite it, because there's still

the other painting.

Because that special table was really special.

It wasn't just a place for Tom to hide under

and it wasn't just cover for Rachel

to move the painting of the bearded man.

It was also a place for Tom to switch that real painting

for a fake that was hidden underneath.

It was the fake painting that Rachel put back on the wall

after they got caught,

because the real painting went into a secret compartment

where it stayed for the rest of the exhibition

until it was carried out again by the removers.

So we didn't only steal this painting.

We also stole this one, and that really is it.
