Making 'The Score' Page #4

a hard time.

Thursday, 8:
07a.m.

Hi. I got your message.

One of the stewardesses is sick...

so I have to cover for her

on a New York run.

We have to talk when I come

through in a couple of days.

Okay?Bye.

End of messages.

Just lock it.

- You work here?

- No. Here.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on in.

Want some coffee?

Jeez. Is this

what we're dealing with?

Page 720.

- Where can I get one of these?

- You gotta know the right people.

Traeger floor safe.

Here it is.

Solid steel body.

Filled door

with aluminum and cobalt.

Half-inch hard plate.

Double dial.

You're gonna need two,

three hours to drill through that.

- You can't drill this.

- Why not?

'Cause this is a newer model

and it's got these glass packs.

See the glass pack here? See?

Drill through that, the glass breaks

and those bolts spring into place.

You're f***ed. They're locked.

Forget it.

You can't break it

with a bulldozer.

I've never seen anything like that.

What do you have in mind?

I don't know, but if somebody

built it, somebody can unbuild it.

Yeah, see, when I shut this down,

you'll see this light go off...

but up in the booth,

nothing will register.

- Is that your box?

- That's it.

That's a f***ing monster.

That's three times the size of this.

Even bigger than that.

See that over there?

You can see it better over here.

That's an active infrared post.

I don't know.

That wasn't on the system specs.

That's gotta be some independent

loop they set up just in the cage.

I'll take care of it.

All right, just calm down, okay?

I'll be over in a few minutes.

I gotta take care of something.

I'll drop you off.

My mom's only out

for about a half an hour.

I was cruising around Ironclad's

server at the root COBOL level...

when someone counter-cracked me,

hacked into my machines, my data.

For three minutes,

I was fully exposed.

Now I have to fire wall my whole

operations all from scratch.

- Can you tell me that in English?

- Sorry.

I was a few keystrokes away from

pulling those engineering codes...

when I bump into a guy

on the other end.

- And what's on the other end?

- Ironclad's computers.

My guess is he's some

low-level systems administrator.

So, we switch to a private

chat room, and he sends me this.

Can you believe that?

The guy comes into my world

and calls me an a**hole.

- Can you get me the bypass codes?

- I type, " How much?" He types...

" Engineering codes for

the customshouse basement?"

I say, "You guessed it,

Blue's Clues."

And he says, " F*** you."

And I say, " No, f*** you."

And he says, " No, f*** you."

I'm like, " No, f*** you."

Then he's like, " No, f***--"

Can you get me the bypass codes?

The guy wants 50 thou

in exchange for the codes.

- Fifty thousand.

- Yes.

Get the account number.

I'll wire the money, and he'll

deliver the codes through you.

Negative.

The guy won't go for a transfer.

He wants cash

and he wants to do it in person.

- Anything else?

- No.

You set it up.

I'll let myself out.

When this score's done, I'm gonna

brute this creep with everything.

By the time I'm done with this f***,

he won't be able to hide in Bolivia!

Jesus.

Look at all these people.

Who sets up a meeting

in a public park?

- You see him?

- Still looking.

Got him.

He brought backup.

Okay, I got him.

Hey, how ya doing?

Good to see ya.

Shake my hand. That's right.

You my guy?

Yeah.

- Who's this?

- Cousin.

Cousin? Okay. See the guy

over my left shoulder...

back there on the bench,

reading the paper, the big one?

That's my cousin, okay?

So we've all got family here,

which is nice, I think. Yeah? Okay.

Let me give you that. Look inside

and make sure you're happy.

No, don't take that out.

Hey, man, don't give me orders.

I get orders all day, okay?

Can't count the money

in a public place.

That's why you don't

set a meeting in a park.

Just for future reference.

Just flip through it in the bag.

We're about set to go here.

You ready?

What the f*** is that?

He's gonna give me the numbers, and

I'm gonna read 'em into this mike...

to a friend of mine

who's gonna check 'em out.

Did you think I was gonna

write it down on a cocktail napkin?

- Okay, ready.

- Okay, you're on.

First set:
3-1-7.

- 3-1-7.

- Got it. 3-1-7.

Steven, 3-1-7.

Confirm 3-1-7.

Just be a second.

Are you guys maternal cousins?

- First numbers are clean.

- They're clean. They're clean.

You tell the hack

at the other end of that wire...

he tries to get in my system again,

I will fry him, okay?

Why don't we worry about

next time next time, okay?

Let's get this done before

people start looking at us.

- Give me the second set.

- 9-4-6.

- 9-4-6.

- 9-4-6.

Repeat:
9-4-6. 9-4-6.

- Take it easy. Relax. Have a smoke.

- I don't smoke.

Me either, so good for us.

You guys local? You live here?

Why are you asking

so many f***ing questions?

- They're good.

- Second set is good.

What's the third one?

This is taking too long.

I'm gonna f***ing lose it.

Shut up, Eric.

They have to verify the numbers

off the server. It takes some time.

Just relax, Eric.

Can you help me out? It's turning

into amateur hour out here.

- F*** you, a**hole.

- What are you doing?

One of them has a gun.

Burt, big guy's got a gun.

Steven, how's it going?

We're losing these guys.

- I'm working it, man.

- Steven, want some lunch?

I'm on the phone, b*tch!

- You all right?

- We're fine.

Don't anybody move.

Eric, look at my hand right now.

If you take that out, I'm gonna take

this out, be a big f***ing mess.

Put it away, Eric.

There's kids all around.

What are you thinking?

Put it away. Take a deep breath

and just put it in your back pocket.

Put it away.

- They're all good.

- Last set of numbers confirmed.

Last set of numbers confirmed.

Let's get out of here.

Next time, don't bring a gun.

Listen, I thought

I might need one, and I did.

- Now we've got the codes.

- Don't bring a gun.

I called. They said you hadn't

checked in yet. No.

So what time you getting in?

Come on, honey.

Don't stay at a hotel.

Just come over to my place.

I'll cook some--

Yeah. Yeah.

I was just saying come to my place.

I'll cook something.

You know, we'll talk, okay?

I'm thinking 'bout a place

I'm waiting for the day

When I will make my getaway

Because as any fool can see

There's nothing here for me

But hurry up, boy

bring that water

Don't do things

you shouldn't oughta

He's good.

When you gotta be there?

I'll go in in a couple hours.

I'm okay. I'm doing fine.

Listen, tell me something.

Tell me something.

All the years

you've been doing this...

what's the biggest gamble

you ever took?

On the job.

You know, biggest long shot.

I don't take long shots.

I know you're careful.

You know, I'm careful too.

That's not what I mean.

I mean--

When you were starting out,

when you were just getting going...

you must have taken

some fliers here and there.

Done something that was

a little wild. I'm just curious.
