In The Italian Job (2003), Steve back-stabs his entire team after a successful heist and takes the gold for himself with the aid of another team (lets call them rip off team). Later he exclaims that he wanted it all for himself. What I don't understand is, presumably, the team that helped him rip off his previous team would want a cut, and there is no way they would accept a small portion of what is a multi-million dollar score. At no point in the movie did they say Steve killed his ripoff team. So I guess the question is, why did Steve even bother screwing over his original team if he would have to accept a similar pay division with his new team?
