Burn Notice (2007–2013): Season 2, Episode 5 - Scatter Point - full transcript

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 Narrating ]
When you're burned,
you've got nothing--

no cash, no credit,
no job history.

- You're stuck in whatever city
they decide to dump you in.
- Where am I?

Miami.

You do whatever work
comes your way.

- You rely on anyone
who's still talking to you--
- [ Laughs ]

- a trigger-happy
ex-girlfriend--
- Should we shoot them?

an old friend
who used to inform on you
to the F.B.I.--



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 line:
Until you figure out
who burned you,

you're not going anywhere.

[ Chewing ]

[ Michael Narrating ]
One of the reasons
surveillance is done in teams...

is that it's exhausting.

Sitting in a car,
remaining constantly alert
while you watch a mailbox...

will knock you out
like a handful
of sleeping pills.

Doing it in shifts
is the only way to make sure
you don't miss something.

- Your turn.
- 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 office 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 ]
If that's Carla,
that's one hell of a disguise.

Carla's not the type
to collect her own mail.

[ Michael Narrating ]
Tailing a trained operative...

requires a number
of time-consuming preparations--

everything
from acquiring a vehicle
they can't recognize or trace...

to familiarizing 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 in 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...

just to follow a secretary
back to her cubicle.

[ Fiona ]
That's Carla's building?
No guards, no cameras?

You really think Carla
would work out of there?

Security comes
in all shapes and sizes, Fi.

- [ Phone Beeping ]
- Hungry?

[ Michael Narrating ]
Covert security
is designed to blend in--

people you never notice...
until you see them in action.

That means you have two choices.
You can sit and wait
for an incident to occur,

- or you can create
your own incident.
- [ Cell Phone Rings ]

- 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 goin'? 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?

Just 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.

[ Sam ]
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 if their 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.
Sorry.

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 big jobs.

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, I 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 I was done with that life,

and I ain't breakin'
that promise.

Come on.

[ Michael Narrating ]
Criminal hideouts
tend to be pretty nondescript.

Underground caves
and spooky old mansions
are dramatic,

but a boathouse on the Keys
is easier to find.

[ Sam ] Well, your boy Trevor--
He's running with some pretty
impressive company.

I mean, every name he gave you--
first-round pick if you were
draftin' your own crew.

What'd he say
the job was?
He didn't.

He knows it's jewels,
but he doesn't know
where or when.

This guy Timo
likes to keep details
to himself.

- Here we go.
- [ Engine Stops ]

C.J., Mr. Slickster
from Jersey.

Arrested up and down
the East Coast--

fraud, embezzlement--
nothin' recent.

Now this big guy
is the safecracker,

Gilbert Kessler,
one of the best.

-Any record?
-Well, he rung up three D.U.I.'s
in the last two years,

so technically
he's not even supposed
to be drivin'.

Okay, here's a doozy.
Kandi, originally
from California.

Assault and battery,
assault and battery--

[ Chuckles ]
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's jail 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.

Bring us
your best champagne.
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.

This is a sales pitch.
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 looking
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 waitin' 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.

- [ Man ]
Hey!
- [ Glass Shatters ]

* 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 somethin'.
- So you want a lot more?

* I just hit my funny bone
and no one cares *
[ People Murmuring ]

Come on.
You fight like a girl.

Really?
Now--
Whoa, 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 in jail,
but the job's still on.

Trevor, you said
if Timo 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'?

There's another way we can
get the job called off.
How?

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.

Who, 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 off,

[ Alarm Stops ]
but you can explain it.

Leave a few cigarette butts
on the ground,

and anybody coming by
will assume someone was just
sneaking a smoke break.

I'm on the roof across
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 dental putty--

easy to mix, easy to apply,
and as strong as cement
when it hardens.

But it hardens quick--
How's it lookin', Sam?

so you better aim right
the first time.

Hello, Carla.

We're in business, Mikey.
You gettin' out clean?

[ Clatter, Keys Jingling ]

[ Michael ]
Sounds like building security's
getting curious.

I'll call you back.

[ Chatter On Walkie-Talkie ]
[ Alarm Bell Resumes ]

[ Michael Narrating ]
Making yourself invisible
when you need to...

is a crucial skill
for a covert operative.

It sounds exotic,
but it's not like...

there's a super-secret move
they teach you at spy school...

that allows you to vanish
into thin air.

Often it's 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 of debrief.

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.

I just can't believe
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.

Look. I've been
all over the world.

I've known a lot of women.

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 ]

Fi.

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 ]
Hello?
Yeah, Trev.

Just let me know when.
[ Beeps ]

Timo is ready to meet.

[ Motor Whirs ]

[ Michael Narrating ]
A criminal cover I.D....

isn't just 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 three jobs 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 lookin' 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.

No.
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
if things 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 little jumpy, Trevor.
You're not nervous, are you?

No.

So you really,
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 C.J.

Welcome
to the family,
Joseph.

Answer by the third ring,
no matter what.
No excuses.

I don't care
if you're... in the shower.
You answer.

Now sit down. We're gonna
go over a 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
if there'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.

- If someone screams,
will they be heard?
- Well, let me put it this way.

I've covered 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'll have 19 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,

Ilco 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.
- Three jobs I've done
with Timo,

he's always given me the
location within a half a mile
of the place we're hitting.

This might be
all the info we need.

To find the target?
Maybe.

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 tip off
by tomorrow, so I don't have
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 ] C.J.?
- Apparently he's obtained
gainful employment.

- He's Timo's inside man
at the jewelry exchange.
- Oh, man.

If 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.J. 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.

Look, it was the '70s.
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 gift, Sam.
Just 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.

[ Sighs ]
[ Beeps ]

[ Sam ]
Hey, hey, where's he goin'?
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.

You can't run.
The hell I can't!

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.

[ Rings ]
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 ]
Let's go. Move it!
Let'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 to jail.
Now let's go!

[ Air Hissing ]

[ Alarm Continues ]

[ Sirens Wailing ]

[ Siren Blares ]

[ No Audible Dialogue ]

[ Indistinct ]
You missed something.
You had to.

[ C.J. ]
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 gave it to Timo.

- The jewels 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.

[ Car Alarm Chirps ]
[ 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 the jewels?

What jewels?
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 some jewels
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.
[ Chuckles ]

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.

You mean nothing.
Exactly.
Let's go.

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 of sight?
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.

It 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 just twisting the knife.
