John.

Go! Go!

Charlie.

We got to go, Charlie.

You always work in the dark?

Makes me feel like I'm alone.

Not bad.

Not bad, Stella.

Damn. Hurley couldn't

crack that safe.

Neither could Spears.

Now you know

who to call first.

You're expensive, Stella.

Those guys cut us a break

on subpoena jobs.

Good will, community service.

I do it for the money, Paul.

I'll be sending you a bill.

Don't you want to see

what's inside?

I never look inside.

Have a good day.

Hey, George.

Hi, Stella.

I came, I saw, I kicked some ass

The pain I cause,

it makes me laugh

'Cause the way I do my thing

is strange

Time, time for this girl

to sing

Damn if I thought

that you would change

And my life would stay

the same

Things will come

and things will go

And one thing I know

for sure

Is that the wreckoning,

the wreckoning, the wreckoning

I'm walking out the door

Wreckoning, the wreckoning,

the wreckoning

Oh, it's time...

How long to crack it?

Four minutes and 43 seconds.

Oh! You're the man.

What's on the lineup?

Todd Milliken called.

He has a prototype

combination lock.

He wants you to test out.

He says he added

two false contact points

on the tumbler.

I'll pretend to be stumped

for a couple of seconds,

give him a thrill.

And, there's a Charlie Croker

in your office.

Says you two know each other.

Charlie Croker.

Hey, Stella.

Didn't I tell you I never

want to see you again?

I think it was when you told me

how my father died,

right in front of your eyes,

after you pulled him

in for one last job.

We found him, Stella.

He's in Los Angeles.

The gold bricks he stole from us

had a Balinese dancer

stamped on them.

I just got word,

from a contact of mine

called Skinny Pete,

that a gold dealer out in L.A.

has been buying those bricks.

Yeah?

Well, how do you know it's him?

Skinny Pete sent me this.

Steve changed his last

name to Frazelli.

Why you telling me

all of this?

Been checking out the databases

behind safe companies.

Found out Steve

had a Worthington 1000

delivered to his home office.

You don't install

a Worthington 1000

unless you've got something

really big to guard.

No, you don't.

The problem now is no one

in my crew

can handle Steve's safe.

And I need somebody

I can trust.

Look, I'm a professional

safe and vault technician.

I'm not a thief.

Hey, it's not about the gold,

Stella, okay?

John was like a father

to me, too.

Look, I'm sorry, all right?

I just can't move on until

I've set things right.

I've moved on.

Come on, Charlie.

Come on.

Hello?

I want to see the look

on that man's face

when his gold is gone.

He took my father from me;

I'm taking this.

She's in.

That's a good thing?

It's a very good thing.

She can crack a Worthington 1000

without even flinching.

I'm not sure having

a civilian on the crew's

a good idea, Charlie.

She's got the skill

and she's got the motivation.

Exactly.

She's emotional.

You know what happens

when emotion gets into it.

Look, don't kid yourself,

all right?

We're all emotional on this one.

Let's go.

Are you ready?

Of course I am.

You're not ready.

That was quick.

Where are they?

We're a little early.

I didn't expect us to get here

quite that fast.

There.

That's Lyle.

He's my computer genius.

You know, he's who really

invented Napster.

At least that's how

Lyle tells it.

Said Shawn Fanning

was his roommate in college

and stole his idea.

Think it's his first time

riding that bike, though.

Hey.

Oh...

You okay?

Yeah. Mm-hmm.

That's Left Ear.

Demolition and explosives.

When he was ten,

he put one too many M-80s

in the toilet bowl.

Fire...

Whoa.

Yeah, that was cool.

How'd you do that?

What?!

How'd you do that?

What?!

I said,

how did you do that?

What?!

Lost the hearing

in his right ear.

He's been blowing

stuff up ever since.

Handsome Rob.

Premier wheel man.

Once drove all the way

from Los Angeles

just so he could set the record

for longest freeway chase.

-You're a heartbreaker...

-You know, he got 1 1 0

Iove letters

sent to his jail cell

from women

who saw him on the news?

You're a heartbreaker

Dream-maker

Love-taker

Don't you mess around,

no, no, no...

And you?

I never heard

how you got your start.

Me?

Well, I've been a thief

since I had baby teeth.

Okay, you both know what to do.

Cough it up, now!

Come on, now,

shake it, shake it, baby, ho!

One, two, three, baby...

Watch it, spaz!

Hey, now, do, re, me, baby...

Hey, what's your problem, man?

A-B-C, it's easy

As one, two, three...

Hey, Charlie.

Good to see you, man.

-Looking good.

-Yeah?

-Charlie Hustle.

-Good to see you.

Hello, Charlie.

Rob, what's up?

Good?

Guys...

Stella Bridger.

Hi.

How you doing?

Nice to meet you.

Phones?

Yeah, they're all

fresh and clean,

I got internal chips in them.

Please change them twice a day.

We will get heat on line.

I.D.s?

"James Hymen?"

Come on, man, one time,

give me a cool name.

Try lifting some weights.

-Try lifting up these.

-Guys, enough.

Come on, we leave

tomorrow, all right?

Let's go.

Hey, Charlie...

Handsome, can you help

him with the bike?

Yeah, help Knievel set up

for his next jump.

Like a sound you hear

that lingers in your ear

But you can't forget,

from sundown to sunset

No, no

It puts a brand-new kind

of thinkin' in your mind

And you can't go wrong

'Cause you're groovin'

all day long, ha-ha!

California soul

Ooh-ooh-ooh

California soul...

Man, out of all of the places

for a thief to hide,

this joker picked Hollywood.

He's a punk,

but he ain't stupid.

All right...

we need to figure out a way

to get in Steve's house

and make a video blueprint

of the interior.

I want audio surveillance

on his phone.

Oh, yeah, I been wanting

to try something.

I crack into the phone company's

remote monitoring system,

and fool it into thinking

there's a legal tap on the line.

Just reroute the digital copies

of the calls to our own

listening post.

I been doing it

to my ex for years.

How long?

No-- how long will it take?

Not how long have you

been doing it to your ex.

I'll burn through the night;

I'll have it running by morning.

Sorry I'm late.

We got to work on getting

Steve out of the house.

Stella, how much time you need

with the Worthington?

Five minutes flat.

Don't be cocky, young lady.

It's not the same as opening

a safe for the police.

The perspiration

on your fingertips,

your heart's pounding

in your ears...

whole different ball game.

I appreciate your concern.

I'll be fine.

Look, just remember,

this is all the easy part, okay?

It's the getaway

that can get us caught.

So what's the sketch?

We drive to Union Station.

Getaway car goes

right onto the train with us.

We need to know exactly

how long it's going to take

to get from Steve's house

to Union Station.

Oh, great.

Carson Security System.

How good is it?

Carson's held

an annual contest--

$50,000 to anybody
