THIS IS MY HOMELAND --

WADATA.

YOU MAY NOT HAVE HEARD OF IT,

BUT YOU WILL.

WE ARE RICH IN RESOURCES,

DIAMONDS,

AND A NEWLY DISCOVERED
OIL FIELD OFFSHORE.

BUT WHILE WE ARE RICH
IN RESOURCES,

WE ARE POOR IN LEADERSHIP.

MY BROTHER, THE PRESIDENT,
IS A GOOD MAN,

BUT HE DOES NOT HAVE THE WILL
TO MAKE OUR COUNTRY ATTRACTIVE

-TO INVESTORS.
-HMM.

I DO.

MR. MOTO, YOUR BROTHER
IS A VERY POPULAR LEADER.

HOW CONFIDENT ARE YOU
THAT YOU CAN SUCCEED HIM?

-WELL, SOME HAVE TRIED
TO STOP OUR PROGRESS...
-HMM.

...BUT WE ARE MAKING
EVERY EFFORT

-TO RESOLVE THESE CONFLICTS.
-MM.

[ African accent ] YOU TELL
MR. MOTO THAT JANE AKINYEMI

FROM THE WEST AFRICA NEWSWIRE
CALLED -- AGAIN.

WAIT, THIS IS NOT FOR MY CAR.

[ TIRES SCREECH ]

[ GASPS ]

[ BREATHING HEAVILY ]

THE RICH AND POWERFUL
TAKE WHAT THEY WANT.

WE STEAL IT BACK FOR YOU.

SOMETIMES, BAD GUYS
MAKE THE BEST GOOD GUYS.

WE PROVIDE...

DAMN IT, HARDISON.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
WHAT AM I DOING HERE?

NATE ASKED ME TO COME
TO THE CLIENT MEETING

'CAUSE SOMEBODY
TRIED TO KILL HER.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

I THOUGHT "TAKE YOUR DAUGHTER
TO WORK" DAY WAS LAST WEEK.

I'M HERE TO CHECK OUT
WHAT NATE DOES

FOR WHEN I RUN
MY OWN CREW ONE DAY.

WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.
HEY, WHOA.

HARDISON, THAT'S WHY
YOU WANTED TO COME? NO.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, "NO"?

I AM THE SUPER-SKRULL.

OKAY, I HAVE ALL Y'ALL'S SKILLS.

I HACK, I GRIFT, I THIEVE.

DO YOU FIGHT?

I HAVE A DOG FOR THAT.
NAME'S MEGABITE.

HEY, HARDISON.
YOU CAN'T DO WHAT I DO.

WHY, YOU THINK
I'M NOT SMART ENOUGH?

NAH. NO, YOU'RE SMART ENOUGH.
THAT'S THE EASY PART.

WHAT'S THE HARD PART?

JANE.

-HELLO. YES.
-NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

I'D LIKE YOU TO MEET
MY ASSOCIATES HERE,

ELIOT SPENCER
AND ALEC HARDISON.

PLEASE.

[ CLEARS THROAT ]

THOSE MEN HAVE BEEN
FOLLOWING ME.

[ Slurring ]
SAY, MAN, I THINK --

I THINK THAT'S MY JACKET
THAT YOU GOT ON.

[ African accent ]
BACK OFF.

LOOK, I LEFT IT TOO LONG
AT THE DRY CLEANERS.

YOU CAN'T JUST GIVE AWAY
SOMEBODY'S JACKET.

THIS IS MY JACKET.

IF I COULD JUST GET IT BACK
FROM YOU.

YEAH, I LIKED IT.
MY MOM GAVE IT TO ME.

[ CROWD MURMURS ]

-[ GROANS ]
-I SAID, "BACK OFF."

[ BONES CRUNCHING ]
-[ GROANING ]

OH!

WHAT'S UP?

EXCUSE ME.

THANK YOU.

[ BONES CRACK ]

[ GRUNTS ]

[ SIGHS ]

CAN YOUR DOG DO THAT?

THE CONDITIONS THERE
ARE DEPLORABLE.

WHEN THE CHILDREN WHO WORK
IN MR. MOTO'S DIAMOND MINE

MEET THEIR QUOTA,
THEY EARN $1.50 A DAY.

WHEN THEY DON'T, THEY GO HUNGRY.

YEAH, OR WORSE.

I'VE FOUGHT IN THESE COUNTRIES.

I'VE SEEN THESE KIDS.

YOU MAKE IT OUT OF THE MINE,

WELL, THEN YOU GET AN M-16
IN THE REBEL ARMY.

AND MR. MOTO, HE SMUGGLES
HIS DIAMONDS INTO THE U.S.,

AND THEN HE LAUNDERS THEM
THROUGH HIS REAL-ESTATE HOLDINGS

HERE IN BOSTON.

I GUESS IT PAYS TO HAVE
A BROTHER WHO'S PRESIDENT.

THE PRESIDENT IS A GOOD MAN

WHO HAS WORKED HARD
TO RAISE THE STANDARD OF LIVING

FOR OUR PEOPLE.

BUT HIS BROTHER IS VERY SMART.

HE COVERS HIS TRACKS.

THAT IS WHY HE'LL WIN.

THIS MONEY
THAT ALEXANDER'S SAVING --

THIS -- THIS IS FOR A COUP?

NO. AN ELECTION.

TERM LIMITS WILL FORCE HIS
BROTHER OUT IN LESS THAN A YEAR.

NOTHING WILL STOP
ALEXANDER THEN.

RUMOR HAS IT HE'S ALREADY SOLD
THE COUNTRY TO CORPORATIONS.

YEAH, FOR THAT GIANT OIL FIELD
THEY DISCOVERED, RIGHT?

SO, FROM DIAMOND SMUGGLER
TO OPEC MEMBER.

THAT'S A NICE BOUNCE.

IN FOUR DAYS,

OUR PRESIDENT WILL VISIT
HIS BROTHER HERE IN BOSTON.

THAT WILL SOLIDIFY ALEXANDER

AS HIS HEIR APPARENT BACK HOME.

JANE,
DON'T YOU THINK THAT WHEN --

WHEN THAT ARTICLE
YOU WROTE COMES OUT,

THAT THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT --

WILL DO NOTHING!

I BROUGHT THEM PROOF
OF MOTO'S CRIMES MONTHS AGO.

THEY STARTED AN INVESTIGATION,
THEN STOPPED.

WHY?

I DON'T KNOW.

BUT I KNOW HOW TO FIND OUT.

WELL, THANK YOU FOR SEEING ME
ON, UH, SHORT NOTICE.

YOU ARE HELPING ME
TO CATCH DAMIEN MOREAU.

IT'S JUST GOOD MANNERS.

DID I DRAG YOU AWAY
FROM A-A PARTY OR SOMETHING?

A DATE...WITH A FUGITIVE...

WHO IS NO LONGER A FUGITIVE.

OH.

OH.

MR. FORD,
I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS.

YOU COME HERE
ABOUT ALEXANDER MOTO, RIGHT?

YES, YES, YES.

DIAMOND SMUGGLER,
ASPIRING KLEPTOCRAT --

SEEMED LIKE, UH,
YOUR KIND OF GUY.

YOU WANTED TO KNOW WHY
THE U.S. LEAVES HIM ALONE?

THAT'S RIGHT.

HERE IT IS.

HE IDENTIFIES JIHADISTS
IN AFRICA.

YOU MEAN TERRORISTS.

HE'S A PAID INFORMANT.

YES.

ONCE A MONTH,
HE GIVES C.I.A. A NAME,

-AND THEY GIVE HIM BACK MONEY.
-MM-HMM.

IT'S [SIGHS]

COME SI DICE?

A SIDE JOB?

HAVE YOU HAD DINNER?

'CAUSE I DON'T LIKE
EATING ALONE.

[ GLASSES CLINK ]

[ GAGGING ]

Y-YEAH, I GOT PLANS.

WELL...

IT WILL BE FOR THE NEXT TIME.

YEAH, 'CAUSE...

WAIT A MINUTE.

THIS GUY MAKES MONEY
OFF THE BACKS OF CHILDREN,

AND NOBODY GOES AFTER HIM

BECAUSE HE FEEDS THE C.I.A.
A BUNCH OF NAMES?

AND WHAT ARE THE ODDS THAT
THESE CO-CALLED "JIHADISTS"

AREN'T TERRORISTS AT ALL?

THEY'RE MORE LIKELY TO BE MOTO'S
POLITICAL RIVALS BACK HOME.

I'LL TAKE THAT BET.

AND IF THE GOVERNMENT
WON'T GO AFTER MOTO, WE WILL.

NOW, HE BOUGHT HIS REAL ESTATE
AT THE TOP OF THE MARKET,

SO HE'S LEVERAGED
UP TO HIS EYEBALLS.

AND THE ONLY THING KEEPING HIM
AFLOAT FROM NOT GOING BANKRUPT

IS THE STEADY FLOW OF DIAMONDS.

AND WHAT'S THE BEST THING
ABOUT SMUGGLED DIAMONDS?

OH, I KNOW THIS ONE.

IT'S THE WAY THAT THEY SHIMMER

ON THE DECK
OF A BILLIONAIRE'S YACHT

IN THE MOONLIGHT.

BECAUSE THEY'RE UNINSURED.

RIGHT.

SO, WE GO AFTER MOTO'S DIAMONDS,

AND WE END A POLITICAL CAREER
BEFORE IT STARTS.

WE JUST HAVE TO FIND OUT
WHERE THE VAULT IS.

-Parker.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS ]

OKAY, WE ARE AT STOP 4
ON OUR TOUR

OF ALEXANDER MOTO'S
BOSTON PROPERTIES.

[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS ]

RECORDS SHOW
HE JUST RENOVATED THE PLACE

WITH STATE-OF-THE-ART
SECURITY TECH,

BUT HE WOULDN'T PUT A VAULT
IN HERE.

Why is that?

IT'S RAINES CONCERT HALL,

WHERE THE MASSACHUSETTS
CHAMBER ORCHESTRA PLAYS. WHY --

THEY HAVE CONCERTS HERE?

LOOK AT THAT FOUNDATION.

I THOUGHT THIS WAS A BANK.

Like -- Like I said --

IT'S THE PERFECT PLACE
FOR A VAULT.

[ CHUCKLES ]

AWW.

JUNIOR HIGH.

AND THEY THOUGHT JACKIE THOMAS'
REPORT CARD WAS SAFE.

GUYS, THEY HAVE
A DEDICATED AIR LINE

THAT GOES STRAIGHT DOWN
TO THE BASEMENT.

USED FOR STORING
EXTREMELY DELICATE ITEMS.

THAT'S WHERE YOUR VAULT IS.

HEY, GUYS, I THINK I MAY HAVE
FOUND HIS FRAGILE ITEM.

MOTO JUST PURCHASED
A STRADIVARIUS VIOLIN

FOR $4.5 MILLION.

THIS ALL FITS.

MOTO'S MADE HIMSELF A PATRON
OF THE ARTS IN BOSTON

TO, YOU KNOW, UP HIS PROFILE
WITH THE OLD-MONEY CROWD.

AND WHAT'S HIS VULNERABILITY?

HIS TIES TO AMERICA.

HIS FATHER SENT HIM OUT
OF THE COUNTRY AT AN EARLY AGE.

HE WAS EDUCATED IN EUROPE,
GOT HIS MBA AT HARVARD.

HIS BROTHER'S A NATIONAL HERO.

BUT MOTO DOESN'T EVEN SPEAK
HIS NATIVE LANGUAGE.

HE'S GONNA HAVE TO KISS
A LOT OF BABIES...

OR STUFF A LOT OF BALLOT BOXES.

SO MOTO'S PROBLEM IS,

IS THAT HE'S AN OUTSIDER
TO HIS OWN PEOPLE.

Yeah, well,
what about my problem?

I CAN'T BREAK INTO A VAULT
WITHOUT SEEING THE INSIDE FIRST.

YEAH, OKAY, SO,
YOU NEED A TOUR OF THE VAULT,

AND MOTO, OUR MARK,
NEEDS TO LOOK GOOD BACK HOME.

LET'S GO STEAL
THE MAN ON THE STREET.

IN AFRICA.

JANE, HAS MOTO
EVER GIVEN YOU AN INTERVIEW?

-Never.
-DOES HE DRINK?

ON OCCASION. WHY?

NO REASON.

LISTEN,
STAY AWAY FROM YOUR APARTMENT,

AND CALL ME AT THE FIRST SIGN
OF ANY TROUBLE.

OKAY.

THAT'S NICE. MAKE HIM --
MAKE HIM LOOK DRUNKER.

AND THEN RICHER.

WHAT YOU WANT ME TO DO,
GIVE THE MAN A PET TIGER?

CAN YOU DO THAT?

THE PROTESTS WERE SPARKED
BY AN INTERVIEW

WITH THE PRESIDENT'S BROTHER

IN WHICH HE REFERRED TO
THE WADATA NATIONAL SOCCER TEAM

AS..."LITTLE SCHOOLGIRLS."

IN ANY --

WHOA.

THAT WAS A CLOSE ONE.

UH, IN ANY CASE,

ALEXANDER MOTO'S STATUS
AS HIS BROTHER'S HEIR APPARENT

IS CLEARLY IN JEOPARDY.

I'M GUY HAMILTON,
REPORTING FROM WADATA.

...REFERRED TO THE WADATA
NATIONAL SOCCER TEAM AS...

"LITTLE SCHOOLGIRLS."

IN ANY --

[ GLASS BREAKS ]

THAT WAS CLOSE.

[ BEEP ]

I NEVER SAID
ANY OF THESE THINGS!

THIS IS A SMEAR CAMPAIGN
ORCHESTRATED BY MY ENEMIES!

ENEMIES YOU WOULDN'T HAVE

IF YOU WERE HERE SOLVING
OUR COUNTRY'S PROBLEMS.

IT'S EASY FOR YOU TO JUDGE ME
FROM YOUR THRONE

IN THE PRESIDENTIAL PALACE,
ISN'T IT?!

I SERVE THE PEOPLE
OF THIS COUNTRY.

THE FACT THAT YOU SEE IT
AS A THRONE

MAKES ME SADDER
THAN YOU CAN KNOW.

YOU ARE --

DO YOU THINK YOUR BROTHER

COULD HAVE SOMETHING TO DO
WITH THIS?

NO.

IT IS THAT REPORTER --

JANE AKINYEMI.

YOU SHOULD HAVE
TAKEN CARE OF HER!

YOU'RE RIGHT.

AND IT IS MORE
DIFFICULT NOW, BUT --

WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?!

JUST SIT HERE WHILE MY ENTIRE
COUNTRY TURNS AGAINST ME?

YOU HAD A PHONE CALL
THIS MORNING

FROM A WOMAN WHO SAYS SHE CAN
HANDLE THESE TYPES OF MATTERS.

HER NAME IS...

KRISTI CONNELLY
FROM BULGER-MAPLE.

I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME,
MS. CONNELLY.

BUT I AM SKEPTICAL
THAT I COULD BENEFIT

FROM PUBLIC RELATIONS.

OH, I PREFER THE TERM
"PERCEPTION MANAGEMENT."

PERHAPS YOU'D LIKE TO SEE
A REFERENCE

FROM ONE OF MY RECENT CLIENTS,

THE LEADERS
OF UZBEKISTAN OR...

MYANMAR.

THOSE ARE TWO OF THE WORLD'S
MOST NOTORIOUS DICTATORS.

WHOM I AM REBRANDING
AS EFFECTIVE C.E.O.s,

LEADING THEIR COUNTRIES
INTO THE 21st CENTURY,

JUST AS I CAN REBRAND YOU
AS A FORCE FOR GOOD

IN YOUR OWN COUNTRY.

AH, YES. THE "OPRAH" WAY.

OPEN A SCHOOL.
OPEN A CLINIC.

GET OUT THE CHECKBOOK.

[ Chuckling ] WE'RE MUCH MORE
SOPHISTICATED THAN THAT NOW.

HAVE YOU HEARD THE PHRASE

"ONE DEATH IS A TRAGEDY,

A THOUSAND DEATHS
IS A STATISTIC"?

WELL, THE SAME HOLDS TRUE
FOR ACTS OF CHARITY.

BUILD A SCHOOL,

AND YOU JUST REMIND PEOPLE
OF YOUR WEALTH,

BUT...HELP ONE SINGLE CHILD,

AND YOU'RE A HERO.

IT CERTAINLY SOUNDS
MORE AFFORDABLE.

WHAT DO YOU HAVE IN MIND?

[ CHUCKLES SOFTLY ]

THIS YOUNG MAN'S NAME IS TEMI.

HE'S A TAXI DRIVER THAT
EMIGRATED HERE FROM WADATA

WITH A DREAM --

TO ATTEND THE WORLD-FAMOUS
NEW ENGLAND CONSERVATORY

TO STUDY THE VIOLIN.

YOU'RE GONNA MAKE HIS DREAM
COME TRUE.

THE POOR NEED SCHOOLS
AND CLINICS,

BUT WHAT THEY WANT...

IS HEROES.

YOU'RE GONNA GIVE THEM
WHAT THEY WANT.

YOU KNOW I PLAYED VIOLIN
UNTIL I WAS 14?

I WAS PRETTY GOOD, TOO.

I NEVER THOUGHT
IT'D HELP ME IN A CON.

WELL, WHY'D YOU GIVE IT UP?

I DISCOVERED COMPUTERS, MAN.

TURNS OUT YOU CAN'T SEE
NAKED PICTURES OF GIRLS

ON A VIOLIN.

SO, WE NEED TO GET INSIDE
THAT VAULT HERE.

NOW, MOTO,
HE KEEPS HIS STRADIVARIUS

IN A CLIMATE-CONTROLLED CASE.

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO
IS YOU NEED TO GET HIM

TO TAKE YOU INSIDE THERE, RIGHT?

THE ENTIRE HEIST DEPENDS ON IT.

SO, UH, SHOW ME -- SHOW ME
WHAT SPY GEAR YOU GOT.

GOT A BUTTON CAM,
GPS SMARTPHONE,

AND I GOT A HIDDEN Wi-Fi SCANNER

THAT'S GONNA HACK INTO
THE BUILDING'S SECURITY
SYSTEM AUTOMATICALLY.

NOW, ALL THAT DATA IS
GONNA WASH UP ON THIS
BIG SCREEN RIGHT HERE

SO YOU AND PARKER CAN
ORCHESTRATE THE BREAK-IN.

OKAY. GOOD. SOUNDS GOOD.

[ TAPS DESK ]

NATE, YOU KNOW, UM...

I WAS SERIOUS
ABOUT WHAT I SAID --

ABOUT RUNNING
MY OWN CREW SOMEDAY.

SO, WHAT'S THIS THING
THAT YOU THINK I'M MISSING?

WHAT, IS IT, LIKE,
UH, UH, THRIFTINESS

OR, LIKE, FRIENDLINESS

OR BIG-PICTURE THINKING OR...

ALOOFNE-- WHAT?

[ FOOTSTEPS DEPARTING ]

RUDENESS?

SO, TEMI...

I HAVE READ STORIES ABOUT YOU.

THEY SAY YOU ARE A PRODIGY.

HE FIRST PICKED UP
A MISSIONARY'S VIOLIN AGED 5,

AND JUST KNEW HOW TO PLAY.

[ African accent ]
I AM HERE FOR MY FAMILY.

THE VIOLIN CAN WAIT.

DON'T MAKE EXCUSES, TEMI.

YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN
AN OPPORTUNITY.

I MUST RESPECTFULLY
DISAGREE, SIR.

IN MY TAXI, I'VE BEEN BEATEN,

I'VE BEEN ROBBED.

WHAT OPPORTUNITY DO I HAVE HERE?

COME.

LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT
YOU CAN ACHIEVE IN AMERICA.

Good work, guys.
He's taking you to the vault.

Let's find those diamonds.

DOWN THESE STAIRS,

I THINK YOU'LL FIND SOMETHING
VERY INSPIRING.

OKAY, GUYS, LOOK INSPIRED.

ELECTROMAGNETIC LOCK
WITH RETINAL SCANNER --

CAN WITHSTAND
2,000 POUNDS OF PRESSURE.

YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT
YOU CAN ACHIEVE IN AMERICA?

[ WHIRRING, BEEPS ]

RETINAL SCAN COMPLETED.

COME.

ANTONIO STRADIVARI
MADE IT HIMSELF IN 1705.

IT'S MAGNIFICENT, ISN'T IT?

[ Normal voice ]
WITH ALL THE TECHNOLOGY
IN THE WORLD TODAY, YOU...

[ CLEARS THROAT ]

[ African accent ]
...YOU COULDN'T MAKE A VIOLIN

THAT SOUNDS AS GOOD AS THAT ONE.

NO ONE UNDERSTANDS WHY.

S-Sophie?

I NEED YOU TO ZERO IN
ON THE LOCKERS.

SECURITY LOG SHOWS A DELIVERY
FROM WADATA A WEEK AGO

THAT WAS PLACED
IN LOCKER NUMBER ALLEGRO.

ALLEGRO.

MUSICAL TERMS.

SO HE'S NAMED HIS LOCKERS
AFTER MUSICAL TERMS.

IT SOUNDS LIKE OUR DIAMONDS.

OKAY, SOPHIE, WHAT I NEED YOU
TO DO RIGHT NOW

is go stand next to
locker Allegro

so Hardison can get us a shot.

I CAN TELL FROM YOUR REACTION

THAT WE ARE A GOOD MATCH.

I THINK YOU'D AGREE WITH THAT,
WOULDN'T YOU, TEMI?

TEMI?

TEMI!

HMM?

ALL RIGHT.
SO HOW DO WE BREAK IN?

WE CAN'T.

WHAT? EXCUSE ME?

-DID YOU SEE ANY
VIDEO CAMERAS ANYWHERE?
-NO, BU--

-WANT TO KNOW WHY?
-WHY?

BECAUSE VIDEO CAMERAS
REQUIRE PEOPLE TO WATCH THEM,

PEOPLE WHO FALL ASLEEP.

THIS VAULT IS A STATE-OF-THE-ART
GLEN-REEDER.

IT WORKS OFF MOTION SENSORS
AND IS UNHACKABLE --

EVEN FOR HARDISON.

OKAY, WELL, I MEAN,
IF WE CAN'T TURN IT OFF,

-WE GOT TO GET THEM
TO DO IT FOR US.
-MM-HMM.

SO CHECK THE LOGS AND SEE
IF THERE WAS EVER A TIME

WHERE THEY SHUT IT DOWN...
AND -- AND WHY.

UH, IT LOOKS LIKE
THEY SHUT IT DOWN ONCE

WHEN THE ORCHESTRA PLAYED
THE "1812 OVERTURE"

BECAUSE THEY WERE AFRAID
THE VIBRATIONS WOULD SET IT OFF.

GUESS THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS
WHEN YOU BUILD A VAULT

UNDER A CONCERT HALL.

UH, SOPHIE, LISTEN UP.

I'M GONNA CHANGE THE PLAY.

[ LAUGHS ]

I'VE JUST HAD A THOUGHT.

THE STORY OF YOU HELPING TEMI --

I-IT'S GONNA RAISE YOUR PROFILE
IN THE CITIES,

BUT WHAT ABOUT THE RURAL AREAS?

THEY DON'T HAVE TELEVISIONS
OR NEWSPAPERS.

NO. ONLY RADIOS.

[ EXHALES SHARPLY ]

WHICH IS WHY THIS IS PERFECT.

YOUR BROTHER'S VISITING
IN TWO DAYS.

YOU'RE GONNA HOST A CONCERT
IN HIS HONOR

IN YOUR CONCERT HALL,
AND TEMI...

...TEMI WILL BE THE STAR.

Mnh-mnh.

THE VIOLIN -- PLAY THE VIOLIN
LIKE IT'S A KAZOO!

WHAT WERE YOU DOING UP THERE?
NAPPING?

I TOLD YOU --
WE GOT LOTS OF WORK TO DO.

DON'T. DON'T TALK TO ME.
DON'T TALK TO ME RIGHT NOW.

Y-YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'VE DONE?

YOU ASKED ME TO PLAY
THE VIOLIN IN FRONT OF PEOPLE.

YES, WELL,
YOU SAID YOU WERE GOOD.

AS A CHILD.
THAT WAS 10 YEARS AGO.

OH, COME ON, COME ON, HARDISON.

LISTEN, YOU KNOW, YOU TOLD ME
YOU COULD DO ANYTHING.

YOU TOLD ME
YOU WERE SUPER-SKULL!

"SKRULL," "SKRULL."
GET IT RIGHT.

SUPER -- SUP--
SUPER-SKRULL --

WHO HAS THE COMBINED POWERS
OF THE FANTASTIC FOUR,

ONE OF WHOM
IS NOT ITZHAK PERLMAN.

HEY.

I JUST HELPED MOTO
PICK OUT THE MUSIC

FOR THE CONCERT.

LOOK WHAT IT IS.

AH! YES, YES.

NO, THIS IS --
THIS IS PERFECT.

I MEAN, YOU KNOW,
BECAUSE IT'S -- IT'S BIG,

AND IT'S -- IT'S LOUD, AND
THEY'RE GONNA HAVE TO TURN OFF
THE MOTION SENSOR FOR THIS.

PERFECT.

SEEING AS HOW I'M THE ONE
WHO'S GOT TO PLAY IT.

-WHAT IS IT?
-IT'S "SCHEHERAZADE"
BY KORSAKOV.

IT'S BASED ON A STORY
FROM THE "ARABIAN NIGHTS"

ABOUT A SULTAN WHO MARRIES
A NEW BRIDE EVERY NIGHT

AND HAS HER KILLED
BY MORNING --

UNTIL SCHEHERAZADE.

YOU SEE, EVERY NIGHT,
SHE TELLS HIM A STORY

WITH SUCH A SUSPENSEFUL
CLIFFHANGER

THAT HE DAREN'T EXECUTE HER

FOR FEAR THAT
HE'LL NEVER KNOW THE ENDING.

SHE TOLD HER STORIES
FOR 1,001 NIGHTS,

UNTIL THE SULTAN FELL DEEPLY,
DEEPLY IN LOVE WITH HER.

AH.

SCHEHERAZADE.

-SHE'S ONE OF LITERATURE'S
ALL-TIME GREAT GRIFTERS.
-MM.

LET ME TELL YOU WHAT I KNOW
ABOUT SOME "SCHEHERAZADE."

OKAY?

IT ENDS WITH ONE OF THE MOST
DIFFICULT VIOLIN SOLOS --

MY SOLO.

THAT'S -- THAT'S RIGHT.
YOU'LL BE THE STAR OF THE PIECE.

EXCUSE ME...

WHILE I GO TO
MY STORAGE LOCKER

AND PULL OUT
A VERY DUSTY VIOLIN.

OH, NO, MOTO WANTS YOU
TO PLAY HIS VIOLIN.

THE STRAD?

HE SAID, UM, IT'S THE FIRST TIME
HE'S MET SOMEONE WORTHY.

YOU MADE QUITE AN IMPRESSION.

OH, LORD, TELL ME
THIS ISN'T HAPPENING.

AND THE CONDUCTOR
NEEDS YOU THERE IN TWO HOURS.

AW, COME ON, MAN!

YEAH, SEE, I TOLD YOU
YOU SHOULDN'T BE NAPPING.

YOU GOTTA GO. GOTTA GO.

GOTTA GO.

[ DOOR OPENS ]

[ DOOR CLOSES ]

NATE?

YES?

YOU KNOW WHEN --
WHEN CRIMINALS GO TO JAIL,

THEY INEVITABLY
PICK UP A FEW SKILLS,

LIKE A PICKPOCKET
MIGHT LEARN, UM...

I DON'T KNOW -- SAFECRACKING.

WELL...

...IS THERE ANYTHING
YOU WANT TO TELL ME?

YOU KNOW, I ALWAYS LIKE
TO PICK UP AN EXTRA WRENCH

HERE AND THERE
FOR THE OLD TOOLBOX.

YOU SAID IT YOURSELF --
HE'S, UH...

HE'S THE BEST CANDIDATE.

[ TICKING ]

AH, HELLO, SIMON.
HOW ARE YOU?

GOOD TO SEE YOU, JAMES.
YES?

MARSHALL.
[ CHUCKLES ]

AH! YOU MUST BE TEMI!

I'M KARL BARTHOLDT,
THE CONDUCTOR.

HMM? [ CHUCKLES ]

IT IS OUR GREAT HONOR

TO HAVE YOU JOIN US, HMM?

[ African accent ]
NO, NO, THE --

THE HONOR IS -- IS MINE.

THANK YOU.

NOW, LET US DISCUSS
THIS WONDERFUL PIECE, YES?

"SCHEHERAZADE"
IS, UH, AN ARGUMENT

BETWEEN THE SULTAN,
REPRESENTED BY THE BRASS,

AND SCHEHERAZADE,
REPRESENTED BY THE STRINGS.

NOW, AS THE SULTAN
BEGS HIS NEW BRIDE

TO PLEASE TELL HIM
THE END OF HER STORY...

THE MUSIC BECOMES
MORE AND MORE FURIOUS,

UNTIL FINALLY, TEMI...

YOU PLAY THE SOLO.

OKAY.

ALL RIGHT!
LET US REHEARSE, HMM?

EVERYONE, PLEASE...

LET US TAKE IT
FROM THE BEGINNING, HMM?

-AND...
-WAIT! WAIT.

[ SIGHS ]

-THIS...BUZZING.
[ CELLPHONE BUZZING ]

[ BEEP ]

OH, I'M SORRY. I'M SORRY.

HELLO? YES.

UH, NO, NO,
I'M IN A REHEARSAL, YES.

-NO, NO, I UNDERSTAND.
I UNDERSTAND.
[ BEEP ]

I'M SORRY,
BUT THERE'S BEEN AN ACCIDENT

INVOLVING MY MOTHER
AND A MOPED.

PLEASE, TEMI,
I HAVE READ ABOUT YOU.

I KNOW YOU CAN PLAY THIS
IN YOUR SLEEP,

-SO...
-[ CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY ]

...WE WILL SEE YOU
AT THE CONCERT, YES?

YES.

I HOPE YOUR MOTHER IS ALL RIGHT.

OH, NO, SHE'S FINE.

SHE'S A BIG WOMAN.

BUT THE MOPED --
I-I DON'T KNOW.

WELL, OUR BEST WISHES
GO WITH YOU TO HER.

GOOD WISHES, YES.

[ CRUNCHING ]

[ DOOR OPENS, CLOSES ]

-HOW'S THE PLAN?
-MM.

I'LL WALK YOU THROUGH IT.

WE HAVE THREE MAIN OBSTACLES --

TWO DOORS AND A GUARD.

AT THE FIRST DOOR,
THERE'S A SIX-DIGIT KEYPAD.

YOU GOT THE CODE YET?

LET'S FIND OUT. SOPHIE?

MINUTES AWAY.

OH, MS. CONNELLY, RIGHT?

[ Chuckling ]
OH, YES.

PLEASE, LET ME HELP YOU.

OH! OH [CHUCKLES]
THANK YOU.

YES, I'M HELPING
TO ORGANIZE THE CONCERT,

AND, UM, I JUST WANTED
TO CHECK THE ACOUSTICS,

BECAUSE WE'RE BROADCASTING IT
ON THE RADIO, AND...

WELL, I-I HOPE YOU DON'T MIND.
I HAVE TO CHECK YOUR BAG.

OH, NO, NO, GO AHEAD.

'CAUSE WE'RE ALSO FILMING IT,
FOR TEL-- TELEVISION.

AND THAT LENS -- THAT LENS
IS VERY, VERY SENSITIVE.

PLEASE...PUT IT DOWN GENTLY.

-[ CHUCKLES ]
-I'M SORRY.

THEY'RE VERY, VERY,
VERY FRAGILE.

ALL RIGHT, I'M AT THE DOOR.

[ SPRAYING ]

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

I GOT DOWNSTAIRS.

I -- THEY TOLD ME --
I GOT THE WORK ORDER RIGHT HERE.

NO, NO. WHO AUTHORIZED YOU?

THIS AREA IS FOR
AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY!

-LEAVE.
-ALL RIGHT.

-LEAVE.
-I GOTTA CALL MY SUPERVISOR.

YOU KNOW WHAT?
THIS IS TYPICAL. HUH?

HE'S PROBABLY GONNA BLAME IT
ON MY BAD ATTITUDE.

[ KEYPAD BEEPING ]

[ DOOR CLOSES ]

ALL RIGHT,
IT'S A SIX-DIGIT CODE.

THE FIRST TWO NUMBERS
ARE 6 AND 4, IN THAT SEQUENCE.

NEXT FOUR NUMBERS
ARE 2, 3...8, 9...

not in sequence.

OKAY, THAT MEANS

I'M GONNA HAVE TO PUNCH IN
ALL THE COMBINATIONS.

THAT'S GONNA TAKE TIME,
AND THERE'S A GUARD.

WELL, ELIOT CAN TAKE CARE
OF THE GUARD.

Right, Eliot?

YEAH. SURE.

THAT PUTS US
THROUGH THE FIRST DOOR,

AND IT'S A STRAIGHT SHOT
DOWN THROUGH THE STAIRS,

WHICH LEADS US
RIGHT INTO THE VAULT.

WHERE WE HAVE
THE RETINA SCANNER,

WHICH WE DON'T HAVE TIME
TO HACK,

SO I WOULD SKIP THE STAIRS

AND BLOW A HOLE IN THE FLOOR
RIGHT THERE.

OKAY, GREAT, SO --
SO, WE GET TO THE VAULT
THROUGH THE CEILING,

WE GET THE DIAMONDS,
WE WAIT FOR THE CONCERT TO END,

-AND WE SLIP OUT WITH THE CROWD.
-NOPE.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, "NO"?
THAT'S WHAT YOU JUST --

OUR ONLY WINDOW
TO BREAK INTO THIS VAULT

IS DURING THE CONCERT
WHEN THE MOTION SENSORS
ARE TURNED OFF.

-RIGHT?
-RIGHT.

OKAY, WELL, THIS IS A CONCERT
FOR A FOREIGN DIGNITARY

WITH A FULL
SECRET SERVICE DETAIL.

OKAY, WE HAVE TO
TAKE OUT THE GUARD,

BLOW A HOLE IN THE FLOOR WITHOUT
ANYBODY HEARING ANYTHING.

IT CAN'T BE DONE.

YEAH, I-I CAN'T DO IT,
EITHER, MAN. I'M OUT. MNH-MNH.

YOU KNOW, I'M SORRY
FOR THE PEOPLE OF THIS
COUNTRY -- I REALLY AM --

BUT THIS IS THE MOST FRIGHTENING
THING I'VE EVER HAD TO DO.

NO, I'M SORRY, I CAN'T.
MNH-MNH. I'M OUT.

HOW MUCH TIME WE NEED
FOR THE BREAK-IN?

SEVEN MINUTES...

MINIMUM.

SO, HERE'S WHERE ELIOT
TAKES CARE OF THE GUARD,

AND THEN HERE'S WHERE WE BLOW
A HOLE THROUGH THE FLOOR,

THE LAST SEVEN MINUTES
OF THE PIECE,

OF COURSE, DEPENDING ON TEMPO.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

NATE, YOU'RE TRYING

TO TIME THE HEIST
WITH THE MUSIC?

-YES. YES.
-NO, NO. IT CAN'T BE DONE.

-WHY?
-LOOK, EVERYTHING WOULD HAVE TO
BE IN SYNC -- PERFECTLY IN SYNC.

-NATE, WE WOULD NEED OUR OWN --
-CONDUCTOR!

[ PLAYING OFF-KEY ]

[ PLAYING STOPS ]

[ CLEARS THROAT ]

PA-- PARKER,
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

ESTABLISHING MY COVER.

DOING A WALK-THROUGH.
HOW'S IT GOING?

HOW DO YOU THINK IT'S GOING?

IN 24 HOURS, RIGHT WHERE
I'M STANDING, I'M GONNA
MAKE A FOOL OF MYSELF.

-YEAH, IT'S ACTUALLY
A LOT WORSE THAN THAT.
-WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

WELL, THE WHOLE HEIST DEPENDS
ON YOU BEING ABLE TO PLAY.

IF YOU CAN'T, THE MARK'S
GONNA KNOW SOMETHING'S UP,

AND THEN HE'S GONNA KILL US ALL.

IS THIS A PEP TALK?

THEN HE'LL TAKE OVER
THE COUNTRY,

ROB HIS PEOPLE BLIND!

I MEAN,
IMAGINE THE SUFFERING --

COME ON, MAN, WITH THE PRESSURE.

I'M JUST TRYING TO GET A LITTLE
ADRENALINE FLOWING HERE.

THAT'S ALL YOU NEED, OKAY?
IT WORKS FOR ME.

IF I GET ADRENALINE FLOWING,

-MY GIANT HANDS ARE GONNA SNAP
THIS PRICELESS VIOLIN IN HALF.
-OH.

YOU'LL BE FINE.

OH, MS. CONNELLY.

ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE
MY BROTHER,

PRESIDENT SIMEON MOTO.

OH, MR. PRESIDENT,

I THINK YOU'RE GONNA BE
SO IMPRESSED

WITH WHAT THIS YOUNG MAN
ACHIEVES TONIGHT.

IT WILL BE NICE TO READ
SOMETHING POSITIVE

ABOUT MY COUNTRY FOR A CHANGE.

OH. PLEASE.

I spotted Secret Service guys
on the balcony.

[ CELLPHONE RINGING ]

[ BEEP ]

I DON'T HAVE TIME.

Meet me in the prop room now.

[ Beep ]

[ APPLAUSE ]

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

Mnh-mnh. Mnh-mnh.

[ "SCHEHERAZADE" PLAYING ]

CAN'T I ENJOY A CONCERT
WITHOUT YOU FOLLOWING ME?

I NEED SOMETHING
FROM MOTO'S SAFE.

AND DON'T PLAY GAMES WITH ME.
I KNOW WHY YOU'RE HERE.

AND I THINK IT'S CUTE.

BUT THIS IS A MATTER
OF NATIONAL SECURITY.

FIND THE ENVELOPE
IN MOTO'S SAFE,

AND LEAVE THIS BEHIND.

[ SCOFFS ]

I'M NOT YOUR MAILMAN.

THIS ENVELOPE IS A LINK
IN THE CHAIN

THAT LEADS TO DAMIEN MOREAU.

YOU WILL GET IT FOR ME,
OR YOUR TEAM GOES DOWN.

THAT WAS OUR DEAL.

[ SPEAKING ITALIAN ]

[ CHUCKLES ]

DON'T YOU KNOW?

I DON'T HAVE ANY FRIENDS.

[ ORCHESTRA PLAYING
"SCHEHERAZADE" ]

PARKER. EXPLOSIVES!

[ INHALES SHARPLY ]

[ GRUNTS ]

OKAY, GUYS...

...BUCKLE UP.

[ MUSIC CONTINUES ]

You have seven minutes,

but it depends on how fast the
conductor leads the orchestra.

I'll follow his pace
and cue you.

HERE WE GO.

ON MY MARK. NOW!

[ MUSIC CONTINUES ]

[ MUSIC CONTINUES ]

[ MUSIC CONTINUES ]

[ BEEPING ]

[ BUZZER ]

[ MUSIC CONTINUES ]

[ BEEPING, BUZZER ]

[ BEEPING, BUZZER ]

[ MUSIC CONTINUES ]

NO!

[ BEEPING ]

[ DOOR OPENS ]

[ MUSIC CONTINUES ]

IT'S A FASTER TEMPO.
I'M MOVING UP THE TIMETABLE.

YOU GUYS HAVE 4 1/2 MINUTES.

[ MUSIC CONTINUES ]

[ THUD ]

[ BEEP ]

[ BEEP ]

[ MUSIC CONTINUES ]

-NOW!
[ BEEP ]

AAH!

[ MUSIC CONTINUES ]

[ GRUNTS ]

OPEN UP.

YEAH.

[ SIGHS ]

[ MUSIC CONTINUES ]

[ VIOLIN SOLO ]

[ MUSIC CONTINUES ]

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE CONTINUE ]

THANK YOU.

[ BEEPING ]

[ ALARM BLARING ]

-WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
-I-I'LL EXPLAIN LATER.

LET'S JUST GET OUT OF HERE.

[ ALARM BLARING ]

-YOU GOT AN EXIT PLAN?
-HOLD IT RIGHT THERE.

-AH, WORKING ON IT.

UH, SOPHIE, ANY IDEAS?

[ APPLAUSE ]

STALL.

UH, GUYS,
MOTO AND HIS BROTHER JUST LEFT.

AND I DON'T KNOW ABOUT Y'ALL,
BUT IT WASN'T ME,

'CAUSE, UH, I JUST ROCKED IT,
YOU KNOW.

OKAY, LISTEN, HARDISON,
JUST STAY WHERE YOU ARE

AND DON'T BLOW YOUR COVER.

Roger that.

[ APPLAUSE ]

HOW'S IT GOING?

-WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?
-A BURGLARY.

WE TURNED OFF THE MOTION SENSORS
FOR THE CONCERT.

THEY'RE VERY CLEVER.

MY MEN CAN HANDLE IT.

CALL THE POLICE.

YOU SEE?

I TOLD YOU IT WASN'T NECESSARY
TO FOLLOW ME.

YES. YOU DID.

THIS IS WHY YOU CAN NEVER HAVE
TOO MUCH SECURITY.

MR. PRESIDENT, WAIT.

CAN I TELL YOU A STORY ABOUT
YOUR -- YOUR BROTHER HERE

AND HOW HE LURED YOU HERE
TONIGHT TO ASSASSINATE YOU?

OH-HO, THE THIEF SPEAKS!

WHO KNEW WE WOULD BE ENTERTAINED
TWICE TONIGHT?

PLEASE, GO ON.

THINK ABOUT IT.

LAST-MINUTE CONCERT
IN A HALL YOUR BROTHER OWNS,

HIM WAILING
OVER YOUR BLEEDING BODY

LIVE ON THE RADIO,

INSTANTLY BONDING HIMSELF

TO THE THOUSANDS
LISTENING BACK HOME.

[ LAUGHS ]

AND WHO WOULD FOIL THIS PLOT?

YOU AND YOUR...TEAM
OF BURGLARS?

BURGLARS?

NO, NO, WE'RE NOT IN IT
FOR THE MONEY.

WE WANTED THIS.

SEE, MR. PRESIDENT,

THIS ENVELOPE CONTAINS THE NAMES
OF TERRORISTS LIVING IN AFRICA

THAT YOUR -- YOUR BROTHER
SUPPLIES US WITH AT HIS LEISURE

FOR A PRICE.

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU
PLAY WITH THE C.I.A., MR. MOTO.

WE TAKE WHAT WE NEED.

YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS.

I TURNED A BLIND EYE

TO THESE RUMORS ABOUT YOU
FOR TOO LONG.

THIS IS INSANE!

CAN'T YOU SEE?
HE'S TELLING YOU A STORY!

EVERY DETAIL MORE OUTLANDISH
THAN THE LAST.

IF HE IS LYING, THEN GO AHEAD.

OPEN THE ENVELOPE.

YES.

OPEN THE ENVELOPE.

It is not what he says.

I can't open it.

It doesn't belong to me.

MR. PRESIDENT, THERE'S SOMETHING
YOU SHOULD KNOW.

WE JUST FOUND A RIFLE
IN THE PROJECTION ROOM

WITH A CLEAN PRINT ON THE SCOPE.

THAT LENS -- THAT LENS
IS VERY, VERY, VERY SENSITIVE,

SO IF YOU COULD JUST...

IT WAS MY BROTHER.

-HE IS RESPONSIBLE!
-NO.

NO, I-IT'S --
SHE'S BEHIND THIS!

-NO, SHE LIED TO ME!
-COME ON!

MY BROTHER'S BEING DUPED
BY THESE THIEVES!

HOW'D YOU KNOW
WHAT WAS IN THE ENVELOPE?

I DIDN'T.

IT MADE FOR A GOOD STORY,
THOUGH, RIGHT?

SCHEHERAZADE
WOULD HAVE BEEN PROUD.

YEAH. THANK YOU.

YOU DIDN'T OPEN IT.

I DON'T OPEN
OTHER PEOPLE'S MAIL.

IT'S A PRETTY SERIOUS CRIME.

SO YOU OWE ME NOW.

WE HAVE A DEAL --
TO GET MOREAU.

THAT ENVELOPE IS NOT A LINK
IN THE CHAIN TO MOREAU, IS IT?

OTHERWISE, YOU WOULD JUST
HAND IT OVER TO ME RIGHT NOW,
WOULDN'T YOU?

NO, IT'S A LINK
IN THE CHAIN TO YOU.

THAT'S WHY YOU KNEW
IT WAS IN MOTO'S SAFE...

AND WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE.

YOU SAW HIM PUT IT THERE,
DIDN'T YOU?

MR. FORD,
IN THE SERVICE OF GOOD,

SOMETIMES WE HAVE TO DEAL
WITH BAD PEOPLE

AND DO BAD THINGS.

REALLY?

'CAUSE I WORK WITH A BUNCH
OF BAD GUYS

WHO ARE MORE HONORABLE
THAN YOU WILL EVER BE.

IF WE'RE GONNA HAVE
THIS ARRANGEMENT,

NEVER PLAY ME AGAIN.

I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE IT.

MY ARTICLE IS FINALLY PUBLISHED,

AND THE LEAD IS,

"ALEXANDER MOTO
IS IN AN AMERICAN JAIL."

YES, WELL, IT TURNED OUT
THAT THE SECRET SERVICE

DID NOT TAKE KINDLY TO PEOPLE

TRYING TO ASSASSINATE
FOREIGN LEADERS ON THEIR WATCH.

BUT, MR. FORD,
THAT IS JUST A STORY, RIGHT?

WELL, RIGHT, I MEAN, YEAH,
THE CHARGES AREN'T GONNA STICK.

BUT IT WAS ENOUGH TO GET
A WARRANT TO SEARCH HIS VAULT,

WHICH TURNED UP A MESS
OF SMUGGLED DIAMONDS.

AND THE FACT IS,

HE'S NEVER
GONNA BE PRESIDENT NOW.

[ CHUCKLES SOFTLY ]

WE, UH, WE HAVE THIS FOR YOU.

NO, NO.

THE DIAMONDS...

HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT.

NO, SEE,
WHAT HAPPENED IS, WE...

WE ENDED UP
WITH THIS STRADIVARIUS.

WE THOUGHT THAT THE MONEY COULD
BE USED FOR THE GOOD PEOPLE
OF WADATA,

MAYBE A MUSIC FOUNDATION
FOR THE KIDS?

YOU COULD SET THAT UP.

IT WAS HIS IDEA.

STILL, I WISH WE COULD DO MORE.

WHAT IS IT
YOUR FRIEND SAID TO MOTO?

HELP A SINGLE CHILD,
YOU ARE A HERO?

SMALL ACTS
CAN HAVE RIPPLE EFFECTS.

YOU HAD A RECORDING OF THE SOLO
IN A GIZMO.

THAT MADE IT COME OUT
OF THE VIOLIN.

NO. NO, PARKER.

YOU DON'T JUST JAM A GIZMO
INTO A STRAD, OKAY?

I JUST -- I LET IT RIP.

IT WAS --

WELL, I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE
YOU CAN PLAY LIKE THAT.

YOU?
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.

IT'S BECAUSE I HYPNOTIZED YOU.

[ CHUCKLES ]

YOU SERIOUS?

YEAH, I-I PUT YOU
IN A DEEP-TRANCE STATE

AND REGRESSED YOU

BACK TO WHEN YOU PLAYED VIOLIN
AS A TEENAGER.

I MEAN, YOU KNEW
HOW TO PLAY IT ALL ALONG,

BUT I-I CLEANED OUT THE COBWEBS.

I JUST GAVE YOU THE CONFIDENCE

TO BE THE BEST VERSION OF YOU
I KNEW YOU COULD BE.

YOU ARE NOW BACK TO WHEN

YOU WERE THE MOST PROMISING
YOUNG VIOLINIST IN THE CITY

AT THE HEIGHT OF YOUR ABILITIES.

WHAT WAS THE LAST PIECE
YOU PLAYED?

"SCHEHERAZADE."

WHAT WERE YOU DOING UP THERE?
NAPPING?

I TOLD YOU --
WE GOT LOTS OF WORK TO DO.

IS THERE ANYTHING
YOU WANT TO TELL ME?

YOU SAID IT YOURSELF.

HE'S THE BEST CANDIDATE.

A VEGAS HYPNOTIST

CAN PICK OUT A CANDIDATE
IN A CROWD,

AND...SO CAN I.

NATE...

HYPNOSIS IS SOMETHING YOU DO
TO A MARK,

NOT YOUR OWN CREW.

NO, NO, NO.

IT'S EXACTLY WHAT YOU DO
TO YOUR OWN CREW.

YEAH, YOU PUSH WHATEVER BUTTON
YOU NEED TO

TO GET THEM TO DO
WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.

YOU WANTED TO KNOW
WHAT OTHER QUALITY

YOU NEEDED
TO RUN YOUR OWN CREW.

WELL, THAT'S IT.
AND YOU DON'T HAVE IT.

[ KNOCKS ON COUNTER ]

ALONE AGAIN.

IF I DIDN'T KNOW YOU BETTER,

I'D THINK YOU LIKE IT
LIKE THAT.
