My name is Michael Westen.
I used to be a spy until...
[ Man ] We got a burn notice on you. You're blacklisted. — [whistles]
[ Michael narrat/hg ] When you're burned you've got noth/hg...
No cash, no credit, no job hist0/y
- — you're stuck in whate ver city they decide to dump you in. - Where am I?
Miami.
You do whate ver work comes your way.
You rely on anyone who's still talk/77g to you— —[Laughs]
- A tr/gger—happ y ex—gir/friencl— - — should we shoot them?
An old friend who used to /nform on you to the /-'.B./...
You know spies. Bunch of bitchy little girls.
Family too— — hey, is that your mom again?
If you're desperate. — Someone needs your help, Michael.
Bottom I/ne: Until you figure out who burned you,
you're not going anywhere.
[Chewing]
[Michael narrat/ng] One of the reasons surveillance is done in teams...
Is that it's exhaust/ng.
S/tt/ng in a car, remaining constantly alert while you watch a mailbox...
Will knock you out like a handful of sleeping pills.
Domg it /n shifts is the only way to make sure you don't miss someth/ng.
Yourturn. — what?
Oh. [Clears throat]
[Sniffs]
Five minutes. Five minutes, your eyeballs are tired.
You should be happy I'm still here.
Four hours parked in a hot car...
'Cause this may be the post ofi'ice box used by one of the people who burned you?
Carla's not just one of the people who burned me. She's all I've got.
Are you sure the manager said today?
He said, “mail for this box is picked up every Wednesday.”
Did I tell you that I despise surveillance?
Only every time we do it.
[Michael] Oh. Here we go.
[Fiona] Lfthat's c arla, that's one hell of a disguise.
Carla's not the type to collect her own mail.
[Michael narrating] Tail/ng a trained operative...
Requires a number of time-consuming prepara tions...
E ve/ything from acquir/ng a vehicle they can't recognize or trace...
To familiar/eng yourself with all the local traffic patterns.
[Michael] Go ahead turn the car on.
Turn it on. There you go. [Engine starts]
Now put it /n drive. Drive. Yes.
[Michael narrating] Of course, since you can never be sure who's a trained op,
there's always the chance you'll take all those precautions...
Lust to follow a secretary back to her cubicle.
[Fiona] That's c arla '5 building? No guards, no cameras?
You really think Carla would work out of there?
Security comes in all shapes and sizes, f/I
- [phone beep/ng] — h UN gry?
[Michael narrat/ng] C o vert security is designed to blend in...
People you never notice... Until you see them /n action.
That means you have two choices. You can sit and wait for an inc/dent to occur,
- — or you can create your 0 wn in c/dent. - [ Cell phone r/ngs ]
Hello? — [ Man ] Yo, bro. Got your grub. I'm out front.
All right, I'll come down and meet you in the lobby, but you can't park there.
- This okay? - — no, man. That's even worse.
[Man] Oh, man! You gotta be kiddin 'me.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, where you go/n (7 go back
dude, dude, you are just asking for a ticket parking there.
You know what, buddy? I really don't have time for this.
[Michael] Hey, sorry, man. I'm just trying to help. You know what?
Lust pull around the back, go down the alley. I'll meet you there.
- [Man] Fine. Just make it quick. - [Horn honks]
[Beeps] I think we found Carla.
[5am ] Hey, Mikey.
Ooh. Ooh, ooh, look at that. That looks good. Mmm.
So I pulled the building records and lease docs for that address you gave me...
Carla's little irrigation consulting company.
Anything good? Mm—hmm.
Office is right there, second floor, east end.
But it's gonna be tough getting in there unseen.
Need to find iftheir security has a routine. Maybe there's a chink in the armor.
Wireless webcam might get what you need, but you gotta figure out a way to get it in place.
Think you can find a set—up with a strong enough signal?
I don't know. Maybe later today, if I have time.
Nice watch, Sam. Thank you. It's a panerai, Ferrari version.
I think they prefer to call 'em “timepieces.”
Anyway, Veronica got us “his and hers” for our anniversary.
Well, apparently it's been a whole month since we both said, “I love you.”
For that, you get an $8,000 watch? And some other things.
You Michael? — no.
'Cause they said this guy Michael lives around here. —lot of people live around here.
They say he drive a black car too. Dodge.
Who's they? — look, man. I'm not trying to bother you. It's just that...
All right, here's the deal. I—I just got out of prison a couple months ago.
I had a cell mate, said he had a pretty sweet scam goin' on. Cops couldn't touch him.
This guy Michael comes along, blows his whole operation up.
That's the kind of friend I need. Name's Trevor.
You got the wrong guy.
At least hear my problem. Sony.
Wait, man.
[Trevor groaning]
Go home.
Please.
Sixty seconds. Go. Okay. All right. Uh...
Okay, I got a reputation in certain circles as a... expediter of getaway.
Wheel man. I do more than that.
I find the right car, modify it as necessary,
get rid of it clean, plus I plan the escape route.
You're an expediter. No, I used to be.
Last time I was in prison, I saw the light. I decided to turn my life around.
I got my g.E.D. I got certified as a mechanic. Now I'm tryin' to stay clean no matter what.
Thirty seconds. Problem is, I got this boss named timo.
He runs this crew that I used to work with a few times. Pick it up.
They're planning a Jewel heist that's going down during this trade show that's coming up.
Tell him you can't do it. I did. I even offered to find him a replacement.
The thing is, timo likes to work with the same people he knows, especially during bigjobs.
He told me he would feel personally betrayed...
If I didn't come through with this. I'm sure he'll get over it.
You don't know timo. That's his way of saying do it or die.
Can you leave town for a while? Not without violating my parole.
I gotta stay in the state for the next five months.
Time's up. You have two options.
- — Go to the police, tell them everything you just told me. - Timo will kill my family.
- — They have witness protection. - Yeah, right.
Or you do the job, don't get caught. Either way, / can't help you.
I got emeralds, man. These are real.
You can get 15 grand easy, and it's clean. I got a two—carat diamond ring...
Trevor, I heard you out. Now you need to walk away.
I got a son, man. He was born while I was locked up.
I'm sorry to hear that. — I don't want you to be sorry.
I just want you to understand where I'm coming from.
I made a promise to my boy that/ was done with that we
and I ain't breakin' that promise.
Come on.
[ M/chae/ narrating ] C r/mina/ h/deouts tend to be pretty nondescr/pt.
Underground ca ves and spooky old mansions are dramatic,
but a boathouse on the keys is easier to find
[5am ] Well, your boy trevor— he's running with some pretty /mpressive company.
/mean, eve/y name he ga veyou— first-round pick /f you were drafl'm ' your own crew
vvhatd hesay the job was? He didn't.
He knows it'sjewels, but he doesn't know where or when.
This guy timo likes to keep details to himself.
Here we go. — [engine stops]
[C], Mr. S/ickster from Jersey
arrested up and down the fast c oast...
Fraud embezzlement— Nothin ' recent.
Now this big guy is the safecracker,
Gilbert k ess/er, one of the best
- —any record? - Well, he rung up three d. U./.'S in the last two years,
so technically he's not even supposed to be driv/n'
okay, here's a doozy. Kandi orig/nally from c al/fornia.
Assault and battery, assault and battery...
[ C huck/es ] Assault with a deadly weapon.
Her and Fiona would have a good time... or, you know, kill each other.
Oh, and this must be timo.
[Sam ] Suspect in most of the bigger unsolved heists in the greater Miami area.
Only arrested once.
[ Michael] And— the only witness was murdered
[Sam ] So you got a plan yet? — the best way to help Trevor is to get the job called off.
But you don't even know what it is. — I'm hoping that won't matter.
- — How's that? - A crew like this runs like a well—oiled machine.
Somebody gets in trouble with the police, that machine stops working.
I'm tellin' you, I think this safecracker Gilbert could be your guy.
His probation has a no-drinking restriction— [phone beeps]
So you get him pulled over after one beer, it'sjail time.
Fi, uh, would you like to make a new friend?
He's a safecracker. I'm hoping you can convince him to have a drink with you
good-looking guy.
[Chattering]
[French accent] Is this seat taken?
No, uh, sit down.
Bdngus yourbestchmnpagne sure.
Fifi. Gilbert.
It's nice to meet you. My pleasure.
- Ah. — [waitress] Here you go.
Somebody has to toast with me. What are you celebratin'?
Why, you and me, of course.
I get it.
Thbisasmesphch you're an escort. [Chuckles]
Well, I don't drink, and I don't pay to play either. Enjoy the champagne.
[Michael narrating] When you're look/ng to get somebody arrested
bad guys can't always be counted on to commit crimes on your schedule.
[Siren blares ]
[Chatter on police radio]
Sometimes you have to give them a little push.
[Grunts]
The hell are you doin'? That's my table.
I've been wait/n ' for an hour for my special table.
[Gilbert] What? — don't you “what” me. Get your ass outta here.
Don't touch me, buddy. Well, I just did.
There I go again and again and a...
[Michael narrating] Once you've got a crime in progress,
you can let the authorities take over.
- [ M a n ] H ey! — [ Glass shatters ]
J I just hit my funny bone and no one cares}
[Michael narrating] That assumes, of course,
that the authorities are paying attention.
Yeah, is that the best you got, huh? Come on!
Come on, big guy. Show me somethinf — so you want a lot more?
J I just hit my funny bone and no one cares, » [people murmuring ]
Come on. You fight like a girl.
Really? Now— vvhoa, hey, hey!
- That feel like a girl? - [Sam groaning]
Like that? [Screams]
[Fiona] Police! Somebody!
He's killing this man! [ Officer] Okay!
Timo called. Gilbert's injail, but thejob's still on.
Trevor, you said iftimo lost his safecracker, the job would be off.
I know. Any other time, he would've called it off. What did he say?
He said he'd been workin' this angle for the last two years,
and it was too big a score to let Gilbert ruin it.
He's tryin' to track down some guy from Georgia.
Here I'm thinkin', if I do the right thing, I might catch a break. Who was I foolin'?
How? There's another way we can get the job called off.
Find out the target, tip 'em off.
Timo's already on edge. I start asking questions now— no, no, no, no.
You stay focused on making timo think you're a team player.
I'll ask the questions. Wait, what?
Taking Gilbert out didn't get the job called off, but it did create a job opening.
Now you call timo. You tell him that you found a safecracker who's local.
Vvho, you? Yeah.
You crack safes? 'Cause timo's not gonna take my word for it. Just—just make the call.
Tell him I'll meet him tomorrow. I've got some things to do tonight.
[Alarm bell ringing ]
[Michael narrating] You can't stop a door alarm from going ofi, '
[alarm stops] But you can explain it.
T ea ve a few cigarette butts on the ground
and anybody coming by will assume someone was just sneaking a smoke break
I'm on the roofacross from Carla's building, Sam. Are you ready?
Give me one second here.
[Michael narrating] 24-7 surveillance on a location...
Used to require a full team of operatives.
These days, you can get by with a webcam and wireless signal booster...
From your local electronics store.
Ideally you 'd drill holes and mount it on brackets,
but when time is an issue, I prefer den ta/ putty...
Easy to mix, easy to apply, and as strong as cement when it hardens.
But it hardens quick— How's it iookin', Sam?
So you better aim right the first time.
Hello, Carla.
We 're in business, Mike y. You gettin ' out clean?
[ Clatter, keys jingli'ng ]
[Michael] Sounds like building security's getting curious.
I'll call you back.
[ Chatter on walkie-talkie ] [Alarm bell resumes]
[Michael narrating] Making yourself in visible when you need to...
Is a crucial skill for a co vert operative.
It sounds exotic, but it's not like...
There's a super-secret move they teach you at spyschool...
That al/o ws you to vanish into thin air.
Ofi'en it '5 just a matter of quick thinking, fast feet and strong fingers.
Hey, Mikey. Hurry up. I got good news.
[Michael] Good news? I could use some good news.
I think I found a gap in the security at Carla's building.
I'm tellin' you, Mikey, sometimes I surprise myself. It's beautiful.
I did some editing on the surveillance tape. Check this out.
I time—lapsed the footage here just to see if there's any kind of a routine,
but the maintenance man and the gardener don't really have one.
They patrol in random intervals, so the best you could do is guess.
- Waitin' for the good part, Sam. — comin'.
Okay, about 3:45 night security gets there,
and before they switch over, everyone goes around back for about five minutes...
I'm guessin' for some kind ofdebrief.
During that time, the only guy watchin' the front...
Is the old man at the coffee shop.
Still waitin' for the good news, Sam.
Because grandpa can't walk the place like he works there,
anytime somebody heads down that side alley,
he takes a little stroll, and that is our window
nice work, Sam. Thanks, Mike. I'd love to bask in the glory,
but I got my big one—month-since—we—said— “I love you” celebration.
Sammy's gettin' some hammy tonight. [Chuckles]
[Veronica] I keep pinching myself to make sure I'm not dreaming.
Ijustcanfi: Beheve how happy I am. [Chuckles]
We are on a nice little roll here.
It's like... I've waited for you to show up for my entire life,
and now I finally— [chuckles]
I sound like such a teenager. — [chuckles]
Well, you've got the body of a teenager. You— you might as well sound like one.
You are so sweet, and you make me feel so good.
Hey, pumpkin. You know, this isn't just a one-way street.
T ook I've been all 0 ver the world
I've known a lot ofwomen.
So when I tell you, without a doubt, you are one in a million...
[Sighs] You can believe it, Ronnie.
Sam.
Marry me.
[Both chuckle]
How about that, huh? There's a question.
[Whistles]
[Michael narrating] Safecracking skills are a basic part of espionage training.
Spies steal secrets, and people keep their secrets in safes.
But staying current with safecracking...
Is a little like staying current with computers...
New model every year.
Bottom line: If you wanna breach a safe, you have to practice.
[Mechanism clicking]
I was one number away from the combination.
The last one's always the same— c—4.
It's always easier to just blow it.
You really think he's gonna test you? Probably. He's a control freak.
At the very least, I need to make it sound good.
Oh, you've been out of the game a while, Michael. There are all kinds of new toys nowadays.
That looks like it would leave a mess.
You're such a snob when it comes to manipulation techniques.
On a real heist, they're overrated and impractical.
You don't like it because it takes Patience. I won't deny that I prefer...
A power tool. [ Cell phone ringing]
[Beeps] Heho? Yeah, trev
just let me know when. [Beeps]
Timo is ready to meet.
[Motor whirs]
[Michael narrating] A criminal cover /.D...
Isn 't/ust about a new name and phone number.
It's about fitting into a culture with its own rules and hierarchies.
It's a world where bank robbers are the rock stars,
con artists are the snobs, car thieves are the blue-collar guys...
And safecrackers are the artists.
[Michael] I usually work for safe companies, you know...
When grandma forgets the combination...
Or the bank manager forgets the security code.
They call the best.
How often do you freelance? — two or threejobs a year, based on timing and pay.
Surprised I haven't heard of you.
I take great pains not to be heard of.
So what's this... safe we 're look/n ' to compromise?
- You'll have to bear with me, Joe. —joseph.
Oh, excuse me—joseph. Now, I'm sure you have questions...
And you'll get answers, but not yet.
I don't usually work with people I don't know so how about we get to know each other, huh?
Come on.
[Door chime sounds]
Hey. Help you?
You just quit. —yeah.
[ Kandi'] No cameras to worry about.
[Man] Ooh. [ Chuckles] I'm outta here, man.
[Chime sounds] — crack it.
Excuse me?
If you're looking for a guy to crack a liquor store safe, I'm not your man.
Indulge me. — [pistol cocks]
You're gonna— You're gonna shoot me?
Last time I checked, you needed a safecracker.
You know what?
Trevor vouched for you.
Crack it now or he dies.
Come on. I want us all to be friends.
Crack the safe... now. [Pistol cocks]
You wanna see a show? I need a cup.
Let's go.
[Michael narrating] Anytime you recommend a friend for a job,
you're on the hook ifthings don't work out.
In the retail sales business, for example, make a bad referral and you might get fired
in the armed robbery business, on the other hand...
[ Clicking] Make a bad referral and you might get killed
you look a littlejumpy, Trevor. You're not nervous, are you?
No.
So you real/, really have to hope...
That the new guy knows what he's doing.
Happy? — nice.
Be at this address, 3:00.
Don't touch that.
Don't touch anything.
[Timo] You know Trevor. You already met kandi. This is g].
Welcome to the family, Joseph.
Answer by the third ring, no matter what. No excuses.
I don't care ifyou're... in the shower. You answer.
Nowsit down. We 're gonna go overa few things. We'll be coming in from here.
[Michael] Are we breaking in? — no, man. Sweeter than that.
Your concern for secrecy is admirable, but I need to know ifthere'll be people there.
- We'll handle it. - And where will this affair be taking place?
You'll find out soon enough. — let me put it another way.
- Ifsomeone screams, will they be heard? — well, let me put it this way.
I've co vered every aspect of this plan down to the smallest detail.
All you need to worry about is cracking the safe.
Fine. Tell me about the safe. — Madison, a.K. Series, class two, composite...
Composite hard plate. And the lock?
Ilco 693. — manual combination. That's good.
You 7! Ha ve 79 minutes.
Nineteen minutes, hmm. Well, it's doable. I'll need to know other variables though.
I already told you. We'll cover it. Let's move on.
Not so fast. Question...
No! No more questions. You know what you need to know. Now shut up and listen.
Really, smart guy? Then when was it installed? 'Cause as you know,
//co implements countermeasures every year to stop people like me.
So if I have 19 minutes, I will need to know what version I'm dealing with.
It was put in two years ago.
Great. Now we can move on.
This meeting is over. Everybody out.
Trevor, you can stay.
[Knocking]
Trevor! What's up?
You're not answering your phone. Damn it!
Oh, I hope timo didn't call. I forgot to turn it back on. Why'd he hold you back?
I thought I was in trouble. He just wanted to give me a scatter point.
Timo gives me the location. I park the vehicles for the crew nearby.
Anything goes wrong, we take separate routes back to the boathouse.
So the heist must be close by. — threejobs I've done with timo,
he's always given me the location within a halfa mile of the place we're hitting.
This might be all the info we need.
Maybe. To find the target?
The vault timo wants to hit is very high—end.
Outside of banks, not a lot of buildings would have one.
[Sam ] Those things are damn near indestructible,
so the city makes you get a special permit to put one in.
Knowing when it was installed would narrow it way down.
We can get it down to a half-mile radius.
I can give you something by tomorrow.
You'll know who to up off by tomorrow, so I don't ha ve to get the backup vehicles.
- — No. You need to act business as usual until it's over. - [Trevor] Right.
Come on. Go. I'd better get back there.
So, Mikey, uh, you never asked me about my date. Oh, how'd your date go?
Not real good. — I'm sorry to hear that.
She popped the question, buddy.
The marriage question? — yeah, you know it.
And you said? — I didn't. That's part of the problem.
She's freakin' out, waiting for an answer. So give her one.
Well, I'd love to, Mike, but there are some issues here.
Do you love her? — [ Exhales] She could be the one.
Then say yes. — but it's complicated.
Then say no.
You're a true friend, Mikey.
You finish placin' the cars? Yeah. Dropped timo's car off around the corner.
That the target?
So now we tip 'em off. We have a little snag.
What? See for yourself.
- [Trevor]Cl.? — apparently he's obtained gainful employment.
He's timo's inside man at the je weliy exchange. — oh, ma n.
/f we 're not careful about who we talk to and how, timo's gonna know that he has a leak
his first guess is gonna be me or you. Either way, it's bad for you.
So that's it. I'm screwed no, we 're still gonna tip off the store.
We just have to find a way to do it without c./. Knowing
I'll deal with this. I'll let you know when it's done.
Go ahead. [Sighs]
Thank you, sir. Five bucks, buddy.
What? Hey.
[Chuckling] Wow.
All set? Yeah, told him to make the block once and head down the alley.
Then Mike can make his move on Carla's building.
[Sighs]
Fi, I need some advice.
Tryin' to come up with a gift...
Something that says, “I love you, but I can't marry you.”
And not too expensive.
There's no such thing, Sam. Why can't you marry her?
- Well, there's stuff involved. - Stuff?
- Grown—up stuff, okay? You wouldn't understand. - Oh.
It's obvious how much you care for her.
I'm not sayin' I don't. — then why can't you marry her?
Because it's against the law, all right?
I'm already married... Technically.
You're gonna get flies in there.
Took, it was the 705. I did it on a whim.
We both knew the next day it was a big mistake, but we never got around to gettin' divorced.
- — That's not something you “get around to,” Sam. - Look, fi.
The truth is, I didn't think any of it mattered 'cause I wasn't the marrying type.
- Until now. — [ Exhales]
Forget about the gifi', Sam. Lust tell Veronica the truth. She'll understand
we all have skeletons— Terrible, terrible skeletons.
[Sam] Here comes our boy.
And the old guy gets up,
goes to check on the alley,
and in you go, Mikey.
[Cell phone rings]
[Beeps]
I'm in the shower. [Timo] You have 30 minutes to get here.
[Ffighs] [Beeps]
[Sam] Hey, hey, where's he gain'? He's gonna blow it!
[Cell phone rings]
[Beeps] — Mike, what happened? You were clear.
Timo called. He wants me at the boathouse.
We'll deal with Carla's building later.
Sam, I think I'm gonna need some backup.
What's goin' on? — put those on.
No more questions. Get dressed, get your gear, get in the Van.
[Quietly] I'm not doin' this. Calm down.
Youcantrun thehehicant!
Don't be stupid. You'll go back to prison for violating parole. I made a promise.
You know what your boy needs more than a promise? He needs his dad.
Now let me handle this, and when I'm done, you'll never have to worry about timo again.
Trust me.
You okay? Yeah.
Need to get rid of this.
Where you goin'?
To relieve myself. Why? You wanna watch?
You better give me your phone. What?
We take nothing traceable.
[Michael narrating] Sending messages in the middle of an operation...
Is among the most dangerous things you can do.
Sometimes you just have to drop a note...
And hope your backup team is paying attention.
[Engine shuts off] [Door closes]
They're doin' the heist now. We don't have much time.
I was wondering when the fun would start.
[Lfings] Yeah.
Monteiro heating & air?
- Finally. Tell 'em to hurry up. — [buzzes]
All right.
Whoa.
[Engine shuts off]
Took you long enough.
Hey, you gotta sign.
[Timo] Where to? — It's right this way.
Yep, right here. [Grunts]
[Shotgun cocks]
[ Kandi] Move it! Get going
[ timo ] T et's go. Move it! T et's go.
Come on. Let's go. Get in there!
Get your ass down here. Move! [Shotgun cocks]
- [Man] Okay — get in there. Come on!
Let's go.
Nineteen minutes.
[Motor whirs]
[Drilling]
[Alarm wailing]
[Alarm continues]
- — What's goin' on? - Are we in?
Five more minutes. — we don't have five minutes.
All right, pack up. We're getting outta here!
Come on. Let's go! Let's go! Everybody out!
I want back in base. Everybody back in base!
Do not be late. You got 33 minutes. I want the place cleaned out. Torched.
Timo, I got r.D.X. I can blow the lock. Like you said, it's the score of a lifetime.
It's too late. Two more minutes and we all go tojail. Now let's go!
[Air hissing]
[Alarm continues]
[Sirens wailing]
[Siren blares]
[No audible dialogue]
[Indistinct] You missed something. You had to.
[ I c!- ] This is not on me! My information was good
- [ kandi] You said no panic button and no alarm on the safe. - And I was right!
[ Kandi'] Then how did the alarm go off?
I don't know! Exactly.
Hey, what's goin' on? You can take care of yourself.
Why are you guys so serious? What's goin' on?
We put too much into this job to walk away with nothing — what do you mean, nothing?
I got the stuff it was in the bag I ga ve it to timo.
Thejewels were in that bag? — yeah. Where's timo?
Trevor! He should be here. I gave him the quickest route.
[Michael narrating] A certain kind of leader...
Insists on controlling every aspect of an operation...
[Indistinct]
So that nothing can possibly go wrong
[beeps]
[ Gasps] — the downside to insisting on controlling everything..
Is that when something bad happens,
people tend to think it was all part of your plan.
[All coughing, groaning]
He set us up. —you son of a...
What did you get me into? I'm gonna find timo, and I'm gonna kill him.
I'm gonna kill him! But he'll be dead long before you find him.
[ C ara/arm c hirps ] [ Trunk unlatches]
Where you headed? Geez— Kandi. What happened?
You tell me.
I don't know. Maybe somebody got onto us. Maybe c.J. Screwed it up?
What the hell are you doing here? We can't be seen together when a job is blown.
Had to make sure you were okay. No.
No, you get somewhere, and you stay there until you hear from me.
What about thejewels?
Whatjewels? What are you talkin' about? We didn't get anything.
Oh! Whoa. What, are you crazy?
- — I will count to three. - Kandi.
One. — what's wrong, baby?
- Two. — no. No!
Three. — [gunshot]
[ Refrigerator door opens]
Sorry about the shiner. I had to sell it.
Small price to pay.
Think I'm really done hearin' from timo?
You know kandi better than I do.
Thanks for everything, Michael.
And I'm gonna be back tomorrow with that bracelet...
And somejewels for your friends too. No. No, that is not necessary.
Hey, I'll be back tomorrow.
Hey, Trevor, we didn't actually steal anything,
so the promise that you made...
Yeah. [Chucmes]
Hmm. Thanks, man.
Let's go. Almost done.
Why the rush, Michael?
You know, the window for getting into Carla's building doesn't open for over an hour.
- —I don't wanna take any chances. - You really think you're gonna find something in that office?
No idea. Maybe I'll hit the jackpot, find out her real name and social security number...
Or might find out what kind of staples she likes.
Either way, that's more than what I have now.
Yourneannoflflng. Exacdy. Lefsgo.
Five more minutes, they'll be dry.
- —Now you're gonna have to do 'em all over again. Let's go. - [ Door opens]
Hey, Mike. Hey, Sam. Uh, what's with the bags?
Oh, well, um, my little confession to Veronica didn't go over so well.
She kicked me out, Mike. Mm-hmm...
Out of her place and out of her life.
Thanks for the advice, fi.
That's really sad, Sam.
But we can't talk about it right now 'cause we're in such a rush, right, Michael?
Who wants a beer?
Carla's boys out ofsight? Everybody but the guy in the coffee shop.
That's your decoy.
He thinks we're having a rendezvous in the alley.
[Sighs] You're welcome.
Back in a few, fi.
[Beeps]
[Carla on recording] Michael. Nice try.
Your day job does get in the way, doesn't it?
[Michael narrating] When you work in intelligence,
there's no bigger slap in the face...
Than a picture of yourself in the middle of an operation.
/t sends a clear message: We 're one step ahead of you. We 're in control. We own you.
Mylar balloons and a bottle of champagne— that's/ust twisting the knife.
