The Russian mob, led by Nicky Petrovitch Rade erbedija, grow impatient with Ripley and kidnap Alexandra, telling them they must steal two Faberg eggs from the Russian Museum in order to get her back, or she dies. When the duo get into the vaults of the museum with the eggs, Martin reveals he is an undercover cop from Miami planted by Weber to catch Ripley, leaves Ripley locked in the vault and informs Weber, while taking the eggs to the Russian mobster to free Alexandra. After Alexandra is released Martin is forced to meet with Nicky who reveals that the eggs they have stolen are made of wood like the Karelian Birch egg. Meanwhile, Weber and his squad enter the museum, but are detained by the security guards due to Martin telling the guards he was a cop as he escaped.Martin reports in to the police the next morning after the police have picked up Nicky, only to learn that the man they have in custody is not the man Martin met, and that the man he met was actually Victor Korolenko, who had faked his death with Ripleys help. It is then revealed that Ripley had escaped, letting the museum know cops were on the way and that they had cleaned out the vault of all the smuggled items which had included the eggs before the police could inspect it, meaning there was no evidence that anything had been stolen and that Martins testimony would be worthless as his actions have been kept off the book to prevent Ripley from finding out and that Martins involvement with Alex compromises him, and Ripley had to be let go. ........
