Question: Build a movie plot around this: Who gives the Ukrainians a portion of the gold? Charlie

Some time later dapper mobster Charlie Croker (Caine) is released from prison. He soon meets with the widow (Goldoni) of his friend and fellow thief Roger Beckermann (Brazzi), victim of the Miura crash.
