Den of Thieves Page #4

---

Okay. Bosco,

the peckerwood?

He's a Huntington Beach kid,

also MARSOC Marines.

He did comms with them.

He had a solid career.

But he didn't serve together

with the other guys.

He was the Wood Rep at Victorville

when Merrimen was there.

That's where they linked up.

GUS:
Donnie was a Marine for a

year and a half, then discharged.

So, the way I see it,

that's the way all these niggas

ended up working together.

There's only two passports on the

streets, sports and military.

Every time the Fed receives

a deposit from a bank,

first thing they do is send that

money up to the count rooms.

They run the notes

through the counting machines.

They're accomplishing

two things here.

First, they're double-checking the

accuracy of the bank's deposit.

If the bank is off at all,

they're going to credit or

debit the account accordingly.

Two, they're separating newer, fit

currency from old unfit bills.

But most importantly, they're

erasing the serial numbers

of the old bills

from the Fed system.

Once those numbers are erased, to

the Fed, to the rest of the world,

that money has ceased to exist.

Wait, let's look at

the unsolved cases.

In '04, you have the Boller

National Bank Hollywood job, okay?

They tunneled through

the sewer system.

Sophisticated, skill set,

someone with access, unsolved.

Okay, in '05, you have the

Fuerte armored car depot job.

Blew the depot vault

with shaped charges.

In the $100 count room alone,

an average of $30 million is

designated as unfit every day.

Between 4:
00 p.m.

and 5:
00 p.m.,

all the cash gets shot out

to the shredder.

It's all destroyed.

$30 million

turned to dust in seconds.

It's then picked up by the

Fed's waste management company

and brought out to the dump.

If we can get to

those unfit bills

before they go to the shredders

and get out clean...

You got $30 million

nobody is looking for.

MERRIMEN:
Bingo.

In '06, you have Laguna Niguel.

Same thing, only this time Merrimen

gets unlucky with the tail-light.

Goes to prison till 2016. Now in

that time, while he was in prison,

how many highly sophisticated,

well-executed heists do we have?

None, but you're

on a roll. Keep going.

The counter guy at the donut shop?

Witness to the whole thing.

They left him. Why?

Because they shoot uniforms,

not unarmed civilians.

Exactly what

they were trained to do.

Gangbangers, these are not.

Okay, these are our guys.

We nail these guys,

we solve all these cases.

This is the crew.

You still haven't told us how

you can get past that security.

We're not going in this way.

We're going in that way.

What's going on with Frulein?

We can move on him

anytime we want.

I pay minimum wage.

Okay.

Plus $3 for delivery.

And you split the tip with me.

You start Wednesday, 11:00.

Thank you.

GUS:
I don't really like the

food there, but I'm down to go,

but you've got to pay this time.

NICK:
I'm not paying it.

TONY Z:
What?

I pay every f***ing time.

MURPH:
What?

Get off your wallet, buddy.

No, I forgot my wallet today,

boys. I'm sorry.

Again?

Yeah, again.

Got an alligator arm.

I sat down at blackjack

with $5, and I made $160.

MAN:
Nicholas O'Brien?

Yeah?

I suggest you take these.

You're being served.

You kidding me?

I'm afraid not.

BORRACHO:
What's going on?

MURPH:
You all right, bro?

Yeah, I guess

I'm getting divorced.

TONY Z:
He say "divorced"?

Yo.

Welcome to the f***ing club.

Now, go handle your business,

big man.

There's a closer view.

There was a rolling blackout in

this quadrant four days ago.

Yeah, they've been happening a

lot over the last few months.

Okay.

They say they have full backup

power, but actually they don't.

They go into brown-out.

Yeah, prioritize the grid.

Priority, of course, is the vault.

So everything in there stays intact.

But anything that is peripheral,

like cameras in the hallway,

shredders in the count rooms,

everything else cuts out.

To time it during another rolling blackout

is going to be f***ing impossible.

So you want to simulate it?

MERRIMEN:
Can we?

Break in, have them go brown

for about two minutes.

I'd say yes, but I'd like

to have data to be sure.

Great.

Once we breach the count room,

only thing left is the cameras.

They run on their

own power supply,

so they're unaffected

by the brown-out.

The solve here is

we run an EMP burst.

Should take out the cameras

and motion for about 30 feet.

Where you get all this

information from?

You don't have to

worry about that.

Just trust me

when I say it's solid.

How we doing

with the Telecal hook?

Couple days.

Shouldn't be a problem.

WOMAN:
(ON RADIO)

How many handlers do you need?

MAN:
(ON RADIO)

Uh, gate B right now.

Strolling right into

the Federal Reserve.

MAN 2:

Force leaving loading dock B.

(CLEARS THROAT)

Keep this on you at all times.

Second bay of elevators.

Cafeteria's level 2.

Buzz him in. He's good.

Smells good.

He's good. Let him in.

(DOOR BUZZING)

(INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER)

Sharon?

Mmm-hmm. That's me.

How you all doing?

Good. How you are doing today?

He's fine.

(CHUCKLES) Thank you.

She ain't getting none.

Shut up. Really?

Y'all have a good day.

I'm gonna stay out of it.

We will now.

You have a wonderful day.

Lunch. Dessert.

Lunch. Dessert.

Bye, sunshine.

There he goes.

(GASPS) My gosh.

(CHUCKLES)

Aw!

Oh, he's here.

Okay.

(DOORBELL CHIMING)

Damn, girl looking fine.

Thank you.

You look amazing.

How are you?

ROLANDO:
Looking good.

MALOA:
Thank you.

This is my mom. This is Rolando.

Hi.

Nice to meet you. Rolando. Hi, I'm Malia.

Nice to meet you.

I see where you get your looks from.

Thank you.

(LAUGHTER)

Thank you.

Can I take that?

Oh, yeah, sure.

Um, Rolando, this is my dad.

What's up, Mr. Levoux?

Nice to meet you.

Let me holler at him

for a second.

Let me talk to you, bruh.

Honey, don't worry about it.

Okay? They're just gonna talk.

So here's what's up.

For the past 16 years,

my daughter's safety and protection

has been my responsibility

and my responsibility only.

Now, for the first time in her life, I see

I've got to hand you that responsibility.

Don't f*** up,

or your mama

will weep as she has

to wheel your ass around every

day the rest of your life.

Now I worked on this, because I want to

say this to you as nice as possible.

Do you understand?

Yeah. Yes, sir.

(HAWKS AND SPEAKS POLYNESIAN)

It's all right.

It's all right.

Listen. Listen.

All he's trying to say is,

it's wonderful to meet you,

and he wants you

to have a beautiful evening.

I'll see you at 11:30.

Yeah. Yeah.

11:
30. Yeah. 11:30.

Good choice.

I think he got the picture, bro.

(CHUCKLES)

Psst.

(ALL LAUGHING)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER

MAN 2:
