[The police have just arrested Daniel MacGraw for attempted murder to protect his collection of stolen art]
They're authentic. One was stolen nine years ago from a gallery in Madrid, and two are from a museum in Venice.
He was worried that someone would see the artwork on TV and recognize it. But he knew that if Ray Regis were dead, they would never run the ad.
So he hired that terrible, terrible man.
[Daniel MacGraw is led past them in handcuffs]
Hey, nice collection, Daniel! Too bad none of it's yours!
You should have just kept it all in your basement.
It's fine art, Lieutenant. It's meant to be savored. I never imagined my bride would invite a TV crew into my house while I was out of the country.
So you didn't tell her it was stolen?
[Sarcastically] In hindsight, maybe that's something I should have mentioned.
