Mitch:
[0:23] Did you see this? They think they have a video now of... did you see that the Louvre was robbed?

Isi:
[0:29] Yeah, I didn't hear much about it. I saw this video as well.

Mitch:
[0:31] And they didn't have any... oh, you saw it? They think someone filmed two people escaping down a mechanical ladder, with the jewels, because they have no video footage from inside the Louvre. Sounds like such a...

Isi:
[0:43] Why don't they have videos in the Louvre?

Mitch:
[0:45] They do, but they said that there's the one place where they didn't have footage was exactly the place where they came in and stole it, which is like...

Isi:
[1:58] Yes.

Mitch:
