How To Rob A Bank Page #6

---

Eyes are just starting to adjust.

- Uh, not really.

- Good. Good.

I need you to sit tight and...

We need him to turn

the power back on or we're screwed.

Sorry, what was that?

I missed the last part.

I said, do you have any other

way of contacting Simon?

He says he has no way

of contacting Simon?

- Why?

- Good question. Uh. Why?

Because this Simon character has tossed

his phone for no apparent reason...

his actions are growing

increasingly irrational...

and I would like to prevent any

regrettable incidents before they occur.

Unfortunately, I now have no

way of contacting him.

All right, we'll see what we can do.

What do we do?

We can't ask for Simon's

help because...

we'd have to make him a deal.

And making a deal with Simon

is pointless...

because like it or not,

at this point, he's sh*t out of luck.

We could... ask for Simon?

DeGepse here.

I got through to Simon.

He has a few demands.

He says he's finished

negotiating and...

unless you give him something,

you know, as a show of good faith.

Go ahead, what are his demands?

One. He wants a civilian chartered

helicopter on the roof within 15 minutes.

Two. He walks with half the money

and no one gets hurt.

And three, he wants the power on so

he can get the show on the road.

Personally, I wouldn't give

that schizoid a**hole anything...

unless it was something

totally useless, like...

I don't know, like turning

the power back on.

I'll try to convince him that turning

the power on is, just a start.

May as well try, he sounds desperate

and willing to throw it all away.

You say he sounds desperate?

You really think he's to

the point of throwing it all away?

I told you they were trying

to tell us something...

with that whole "chucking-the-cell

phone-at-your-head" thing.

Tell them the power will

be back on in a minute.

TIP 8

DON'T GET GREEDY

That's a start. Get what's

his name back on the phone...

and I'll get this thing booted up

and ready for whatever.

Hello.

So, listen up.

Believe me when I tell you

this whole thing is going south.

So, whatever it is

you were planning to do...

I'd suggest we do it...

and whatever deal

we need to make...

I suggest we make it...

or none of us are going

anywhere or getting anything...

anytime soon, except maybe ten

to twenty in San Quentin.

So, what's it going to be?

Good to hear from you too.

Dude. Shut it.

The police cut the power.

No power, no computer...

no computer, no point.

You count on that little hic-up?

God. Really?

No. I didn't.

Well, you can thank me later.

It's back up for the moment.

Unless you tell me what our little

team here is about to do...

this whole thing's going

to be over before it began.

Is the computer on?

I believe we're good.

Enter that number in the "Personal

Identification Number" sub-menu.

In that page, you'll see four digits

corresponding to an ATM card.

Click that option...

and read me the four digits

that appear in the box.

It is that easy.

- No. It's not.

- I'm sorry?

Last time I checked,

there's no "l" in "team"...

or "felony grand theft

of a federal reserve bank."

You get that number

and you're gone.

That PIN number belongs

to an ATM card I don't have...

which belongs to an account I don't

have. So unless you can find...

a way to share your little

high-tech heist you're stuck.

I suggest you begin by telling

me what we're stealing.

And the clock's ticking.

Okay. Fine.

Nickels and dimes.

Lots of them.

What? Why?

Why are we stealing change?

Why? Because I could.

Getting greedy with what you want

to steal will only get you caught.

You have to ask yourself "why"

you think you can get away with it.

Know "why"and the "what", "where"

and "how" will follow.

Okay, so how are we gonna rob a bank

and actually get away with it?

Ever notice how everything has

some piddly-ass surcharge added?

Yeah. Now you're speaking

to the choir, my friend.

Now I need you to listen closely

and be really honest here.

Shoot.

Do you always balance

your checkbook?

- I've done it.

- Yeah, right.

Even if you do, have you ever checked

to see if a bank didn't charge you...

a surcharge for an ATM transaction?

You had me at checkbook.

Which brings us back to "why."

It's simple.

The world is too complicated

to keep track of.

Life is made of a million moments,

trans actions...

passwords and pin-numbers

to memorize.

It's not that we don't

want to keep track...

it's just that it's not worth

our time until you add it up.

How do we rob a bank and

why will we get away with it?

Add up the chump change.

We're stealing surcharges.

And it's missing money

no one is missing.

What about the bank missing?

- We have a problem.

- Yeah, that's what I said.

No. It's another kind of problem.

I wasn't planning on

getting locked in here.

We've been in here for hours.

I couldn't hold it forever.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay. Of course.

Well.

I just won't look.

All right...

wait, I've got an idea!

- Nick, hold on.

- What's going on?

Don't ask.

What are you doing?

No way!

Beggars can't be choosers, man.

So, what about

the bank noticing?

Okay. Well, like I said,

you never rob the bank...

at least not noticeably.

Stop it...

So, what if, for every dozen

ATM transactions...

you simply divert one surcharge

into an account already set-up...

within the bank.

Nothing more than missing nickels...

and no way to track it.

Yeah. I'm all for

the economics lesson...

but what are we really

talking about here?

Honestly?

This is the only choice you have if

you ever wanna see any of that money?

Okay. Eight million two hundred sixty

six thousand five hundred dollars.

Can you hear me now?

- That's a lot of transactions!

- Those nickels and dimes add up.

And no one's on to you?

Why? The stolen money never

left the bank.

The irony is, it is all just sitting

in legitimate Grant Liberty accounts.

- Waiting to be withdrawn.

- That's right.

As long as you have a valid

PIN number to those accounts...

you can just slowly withdraw it...

using nothing more than an ATM card.

- No one would ever notice!

- How to rob a bank.

And actually get away with it.

If I'm not mistaken,

we'd better work out a deal...

before there's nothing

worth working out.

So, you give us

your account numbers...

and we'll assign the PIN

to a new ATM card.

No deal.

If I just give you the accounts...

Giving you the accounts

is like giving me the PIN.

No guarantee the other

won't take off with it all.

Okay. What now?

Somebody just has

to trust somebody.

I don't suppose my good

word would be sufficient?

Honor among thieves and all that?

Wait.

"Insufficient funds."

That's what got my ass into

all this in the first place.

- Yeah! Your twenty bucks, surcharges.

- No. My PIN.

We assign my PIN number

to "Nick's" accounts.

That way only I know my PIN...

and only "Nick" has the card

and the accounts.

And?

You see, you can't use the
