Gambit is a 2012 heist comedy film directed by Michael Hoffman from a screenplay by Joel and Ethan Coen, starring Colin Firth, Cameron Diaz, Alan Rickman, Tom Courtenay and Stanley Tucci.

In the United States, Gambit was released in select theaters and through video on demand on 25 April 2014 by CBS Films.

Back in London, Harry meets with Shabandar and discusses the photos of PJ and her grandmother, turning the attention to the painting.

PJ offers the painting to Shabandar for £12 million, but only after arranging to meet him at the Savoy Hotel, which Harry can barely afford.

When Shabandar opines that Harry is an idiot, Zaidenweber counters that he is a good man with simply a bad eye for art.

They are stopped by his rival businessman, Akira Takagawa, who has wanted revenge ever since losing to Shabandar in the 1992 auction for the first Haystacks painting.

Takagawa tells Harry that his payment for the real Haystacks at Dawn by Monet, £10 million, has been transferred to his Swiss bank account.

The end of the film shows Harry and the Major walking through the airport talking about Donald Trump's fascination with Picasso.
