to a mining company out of Nevada,

stolen about... About two months ago.

All right. And what about the marked bills?

Bank finally sent over a list.

Max is gonna fax out a memo right now.

Listen, man,

it's been a couple of weeks now.

You hear anDhing from Amanda?

Listen, I appreciate it,

but I don't need any help.

We can work it out on our own. But thanks.

All right. I'll talk to you later.

All right, so, for this route

Ghost is talking about.

The only place we stand a chance

is right there.

- What's there?

- It's an old subway car turnaround.

It's large enough,

and it runs parallel to the street.

It's kind of perfect.

I mean, we can get access on Hope Street,

but I say we hold them up

at Olive and Fourth.

All right.

And we need to get down there

first and get some intel on,

you know, street patterns, traffic density,

that sort of thing, but it looks good.

Once we determine the blast radius

and street density,

I can tell you how much C-4

you're gonna need to score.

What about the exits?

Work in progress, G.

You know, we got to get down there first,

check it out.

- Give me some exits.

- You got it.

- It's good work.

- Cool.

- All right, gang.

- Good to go.

Easy money, baby. Same as before.

All the cash is in the front truck.

Second truck's totally empty. Just an escort.

Two men up front, two men in the back.

Pump action 12-gauge

and.40 caliber Glocks.

Maybe 9mm.

They may have upgraded

their communication by now,

but the same standard bulletproof windows.

They ain't gonna know what hit them.

Here we go. Must've taken up the tracks.

That's it.

Yeah, he's still working it.

Got brand-new wheels to show for it, too.

All right, let's go.

All right, wait for my go-ahead.

- Good morning, Franco. Nice wheels!

- What do you guys want?

- Get up against the car.

- Turn around.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, I'm clean, man.

Hands off. All right?

Why don't you move your car?

What do you know about some

C-4 boosted out of Nevada?

Nevada? I don't know nothing about that.

Come on, if it's guns or explosives,

you heard something about it.

You know, you get busted again,

you're facing 10 years minimum.

- You know that, right?

- I know this is a public place.

I ain't done nothing.

So, why don't you move your car?

- Do me a favor.

- Hey, Hatch.

- Look at this!

- What you got?

- What's that?

- Come on, Franco.

- It's a damn shame.

- Looks like you caught a nail.

- Yeah, you got a flat.

- Twice.

- Come on.

- You got a spare in the trunk, right?

- Come on, I'll help you. Come on.

- You wanna check my trunk,

why don't you go get yourselves a warrant?

Hey, Dispatch, we got a disabled vehicle

on 9th and the 110.

How long would it take to get here?

Yeah, right around the corner.

You got one in the area.

That's great. It's my lucky day.

I'll see you in a minute.

You guys must think I'm stupid

or something, right?

- Bring it in!

- Man, what the hell is this?

Come on! This has got to be illegal!

- No.

- Entrapment or some sh*t!

This looks like a disabled vehicle to me.

Hey, don't worry about it.

We'll do a full inventory,

including everything in the trunk.

Yeah, we wouldn't want you

accusing the LAPD of stealing anything.

- Hey, come on, all right? Hey!

- Give us something, Franco.

- Give us something.

- This here is bullshit! Come on, man!

Come on, Franco, what do you wanna do?

You know, you two guys,

you're a couple of...

- All right, hook it up!

- What are you doing?

- Come on! Be nice, it's a new car!

- What are you doing?

Okay, okay, okay, all right!

I got something for you guys, all right?

- Come here.

- What do you got?

There's... They got these guys,

they're trying to go upscale.

- They're planning something big.

- What?

They're definitely planning

something real big.

- Like what?

- I don't know like what.

But I know they're gonna use a C-4

on the job.

What's up?

'Sup.

You alone?

Like I said on the phone.

He's clean.

- No one.

- You Paulie?

Like the sign says.

So, you're the one who wants some C-4?

Like I said on the phone.

I know, the street's gone dry.

Someone bought up a big pile of it.

That what brings you to me?

- Smart man.

- Yeah.

So, let me see your category one permit.

Permit? Thought this was

supposed to be simple.

It is. You got a permit.

My category one.

Yeah, it is simple.

See, we take your money,

and you don't get sh*t.

Get over here!

Hey, whoa! Hey. Come on.

Move, I put three holes in your head

like a bowling ball, big boy.

Should've kept it simple, huh?

- Thought you might need some backup.

- Backup?

Looked like you getting your ass kicked.

Man, I told you guys to wait in the car.

- You had it under control, huh?

- Yeah, I did, actually.

- Where's the C-4?

- It's in the shed.

- Speak English! Where's the C-4?

- It's in the shed!

- Back in the shed!

- In the shed?

- It's in the shed?

- Back in the shed.

It's in the shed.

Nice job squeezing Franco.

Looking at 10 years,

funny how he gave up that address.

Think it's the FedCal guys?

Only so many people know

how to use C-4, Chief.

- Duncan!

- Lieutenant Carver?

- Moving and grooving, Jack!

- I wanna speak to Detective Welles!

I can't do this right now.

We're executing a search warrant.

Police work. Remember what that is?

Internal Affairs will have to wait.

Hey, you call me, Welles. Get back to me!

You don't want me to

have to come find you!

The hell is wrong with you,

coming down here now?

I wanna show you something.

Police, on the ground now!

Go!

Welles, I got nothing.

Hatch, he's coming up on Spring!

Sh*t!

Welles!

- You all right?

- Yeah.

Our two dead guys,

Ethan and Constantine Symanski.

Brothers. Suspected Russian mob,

but they're no good for the FedCal job.

- Why's that?

- INS said they were being sworn in

as U.S. Citizens at the time of the robbery.

- Couple patriots, huh?

- Yeah.

They burned a bunch of stuff

before we got here.

This is all that was left.

Looks like a map of LA.

Yeah. Maybe.

Look at this stuff.

C-4, automatic weapons, blasting caps.

They were definitely onto something big.

Staples Center, Pershing Square,

Union Station.

The hell were they up to?

- We're good to go.

- Jake's all connected. You ready?

All right, Jesse, we're up.

Show it to us.

Nice.

All right, tell Jake to stop showing off.

All right, man, turn it off.

- Good job.

- Good job.

But the point is, I mean,

can we do it in three days?

Not only can we do it,

but we're gonna play it safe.

All right, we're gonna drill at

about an inch an hour,

Split the work, keep the schedule.

So, that leaves us one last day for prep?

Exactly. Enough time for Jake and I to wire.

It's good.

All right, I'm gonna call Rahway

and see if we can get down there tonight.

Who's there?

G!

Naomi. What are you doing here?

You're supposed to be at the...

I know, I know, I...

- Catch up with you later, man.

- All right, man.

Wow, look at this place.
