The painting gets robbed during the auction in Trance

A small (tiny) pink car is parked in front of the security van outside the auction building, so the guys inside can't get out.

Meanwhile the auction is taking place. Telephone bidder now, 26 million. 26 on the telephone. 27, for the lady on the aisle. Small one? 27 million 500 thousand. Last chance. And it's coming down selling for 27 million and 500 thousand Pounds, sold to number 104.

The robbers storm in.

Get down!

They throw in smoke bombs.

Everybody out now! Everyone get out the building now!

James McAvoy takes the painting and runs.

They smash the security footage.

Attention please. Attention please. Please evacuate the building. Please do not use elevators. Go to the nearest emergency exit.

Simon follows procedure and puts the painting into and soft case.

Simon: So when it happens, as one day it must, it is imperative not to panic. Follow the drill and let the training kick in.
