Headscratchers / The Italian Job (2003)

• Who exactly where the guys who helped Steve ambush the team at the beginning of the movie? It's stated throughout the story that Steve kept all the gold for himself, so what was the motivation of the guys helping him?
  • He either paid them a pittance and claimed that he didn't have that much to spare, or promised the others a larger share and killed them when he could get away with it to make sure his possession of the gold remained secret.
