Tell me about the vault.

Thirty feet of reinforced steel,

set 60 feet below street level.

It's designed to be almost

impregnable from outside attack.

So how much is in there?

Twenty billion in coin and currency

come through here every year.

Right now at the end of the month,

close to three billion.

Exterior doors are

electronically controlled.

No getting in or out

unless the guard inside knows you.

Watson, Edward.

This way.

Open it, please.

Please. The currency

is surrounded by an electrical field.

If you touch even a single bill,

full lockdown will occur.

No detonator.

God damn it, Lucas.

Take your weapon out,

put it on the ground.

- Now!

- The paint is the explosive.

We gotta stop this.

It's gonna blow somehow.

The detonator, it's in here.

Check it out.

Explosive is confirmed.

I'm not picking up a detonator.

I'm not finding any detonators either.

Okay, what else is in here besides money?

Plates and electronic currency

wiring stations in there.

- What for?

- We can wire money anywhere in the world.

All you need is an account number.

Can you feel it, Lucas?

The energy is positively electric.

We're so close, I can taste it.

Can you? No?

Maybe you should try harder.

How am I going to do it?

How am I going to detonate

all this explosive?

I've given you the answer,

all the tells, everything you need.

Now, impress me.

How am I going to get away with it?

Or am I?

You still have surveillance cameras?

No, not until power is restored.

We heard that's gonna happen at 6:00 PM.

6:
00 PM.

Eric, does your cell phone work?

No.

Mr. Watson, do you have

a phone line to the outside?

Uh, there.

- Hey.

- Do you have Joan Marian?

- She's in interview three.

- I need to talk to her.

- Now?

- Yes, now. Right now.

It's Lucas Nolan.

- Yes?

- Mrs. Marian,

you said the explosives

were highly conductive.

- Conductive of what?

- Electricity.

That's how we detonate it.

We use electrical current.

There's electrical current everywhere.

Why is it stable?

It's because of the differentials.

It responds to rapid

fluctuations in current.

The building's the detonator.

It's gonna blow

when the power comes back on.

We need to get out of here. Eric, now!

Okay, I was wrong about him.

I didn't understand.

I thought he cared about living.

He doesn't.

In order for his plan to work,

he needs to die.

Oh, Christ.

Okay, this vault is gonna blow at 6:00.

No, no, no.

Shh. Well done. I must say I am impressed.

- Let her go.

- Then they'll shoot me.

- Fine, then take me.

- Why?

Because I'm willing to pay the price.

These people aren't. She's not.

Okay. Walk towards me.

Slowly. Slowly.

- Take the shot if you get it.

- Copy that.

Now the lesson is over. Now go.

- We're not f***ing moving anywhere.

- You need to get out of here now!

- Not without you.

- Eric, go!

Emergency. Vault shutdown.

- Move! Out! Out now!

- I'm sorry.

- I am so sorry.

- Go, go.

Eric, now!

- I'm not gonna f***ing leave you here!

- Eric, go!

- Go! It's closing! Go!

- God damn it.

God damn it!

- Hey.

- Becky, what did you hear?

The explosive is triggered

by electrical current fluctuations.

Okay, get with

the power company right now.

Tell them not to turn the power back on.

That wasn't 2,000 pounds of anything.

- Maybe he's alive.

- Open the door.

- I can't.

- Open the goddamn door!

I can't! Nobody can.

Not until an hour after lockdown.

Oh, Jesus!

I need welders down here now.

- Becky?

- I can't do anything. I'm on hold.

God damn it!

Please tell me he's gonna be all right.

Everything's gonna be fine.

What the hell?

My computer just shut down.

Same here. It's erasing the files.

Damn it.

What's happening, guys?

The virus, it's wiping the servers,

the backups, everything.

Sh*t.

Four bombs and only two casualties.

- It appears...

- Special Agent Lucas Nolan

is credited with saving the lives

of numerous federal agents and local...

Estimates put the paper losses

in the range of $3 billion,

- however, as the money never...

- FBI's Minneapolis office

experienced a cyber attack.

Their secured servers

systematically erased all data,

including records involving

suspected bomber Vasti Radan.

I'm honored to give the eulogy

for Lucas Nolan today.

A colleague...

and a close friend.

A man who came from literally nothing

to becoming the best behavioral analyst

I have ever worked with.

A childhood of poverty,

a life on the streets,

and... and the ability to find courage

in the face of what happened to his father

was a testament to Lucas's

strong-willed mind.

A mind that... that baffled us all.

As we remember Lucas today,

let's hold him in our hearts

and remember him,

not just the colleague...

and not just a hero, because he was.

Let's remember a friend.

God bless Lucas and Godspeed.

Yep, that's quite the send-off.

Come on!

Get him!

Get off him now.

- I'm Lucas.

- I'm Vasti.

You gonna put down my gun now?

Can I?

How do I know you're still with the plan?

It wasn't the easiest plan to follow,

but I stayed on point.

Really?

That was some convincing sh*t, brother.

Oh, you think so?

I thought maybe I went over the top.

Are you kidding me? You had me

thinking you were one of them.

Well, what about that accent?

Where'd you pick that up?

I had five years to work on it.

And Why'd you come on

so hard in the fight?

- Dude, you shot at me.

- I shot near you.

- Okay, whatever.

- We gotta get going. You ready?

Yeah.

Here we go.

Giddyup.

That's a lot of zeros.

- We good?

- Oh, we are so good.

Let's go.

- I hate tight spaces.

- You got this.

Okay, this is the only

part of the plan I was not crazy about.

- You okay?

- Yeah, I got this.

How much time before

the water comes back on?

We got six minutes,

so we gotta book it. Let's go.

- All right, ladies first.

- Yeah, suck it up, buttercup.

You okay back there?

Yeah, aside from the 2,000 pounds

of high explosives on my ass.

That means the water's coming.

We gotta haul ass!

Water's coming!

Go, go, go, go, go!

All right, man, we should get going.

- One last stop.

- Yep.

Knight to queen four. Checkmate.

I heard you were dead.

Yeah. I heard that, too.

Come on.

Planes waiting.

Fake passports cost me a fortune.

Uh, is there any rush?

Not anymore.

The terrorist responsible

and a hero perished in the attack.

But today, we look forward knowing

that as a people we are unbowed.

In other news, an anonymous donor has

pledged $100 million for the establishment

of scholarships and other services

for homeless children in and around

the Minneapolis area.

So what drives a person to commit a crime?

I guess I'm that individual who found

the smallest chink in the system's armor

and benefited from it.
