Unfortunately, Dolby happens to do the books for unstable mob boss Winston King (Dustin Hoffman), and the only way out is to pull off a bigger and more dangerous scam against King's rivals. Vengeance is swift and deadly, so Vig tries to make peace. King will call it quits if the team enact a complex fraud on corrupt banker Morgan Price (Robert Forster). The deal is done, and pickpocket Lily (Rachel Weisz) is hired to help.
