Removing all of the evidence, Dillon leaves carrying Ray to his car but not before he torches the house, destroying any evidence of Rays presence. As Dillon and Ray drive away, Dillon struggles to keep Ray conscious and relates to him a story of a humorous encounter with a Mexican auto mechanic, which coins one of the catchphrases of the film Im not gonna taco.The story then flashes back to eight years earlier and introduces Riley Patrick Bergin as he admires some artwork in a London gallery. He receives a call on his cell phone from the crooked Detective Brice Vinnie Jones, who informs Riley that there is a shipment of heroin coming in, and that he wants Riley to get a team together and steal it for him. Riley agrees to the job and tells Brice that he has just the man to do it, a petty thief named Ray Burns. Riley gives a menacing stare to the gallery attendant Caspar von Winterfeldt in one of the films funnier moments before leaving to meet with Ray. ........
