[SPEAKER_03] How have you been?
[SPEAKER_00] Oh, good. Things have been good.
[SPEAKER_00] No, actually, things ain't been good.
[SPEAKER_00] Things have been a far fucking way from good.
[SPEAKER_00] I've been acting out. That's what you would call it, I think. Right? Acting out.
[SPEAKER_03] So what exactly has been the problem?
[SPEAKER_00] I'm not good, Doc. Not good at all.
[SPEAKER_03] I'm sorry to hear that. Tell me.
[SPEAKER_00] I just... I've been caught up in the bullshit, Doc.
[SPEAKER_00] You know, ever since I pulled the Mexican's house off a hill,
[SPEAKER_00] it's been nothing but killing and robbing.
[SPEAKER_00] And I hooked up with this old associate.
[SPEAKER_00] I even got a new one, too. This kid.
[SPEAKER_01] I was...
[SPEAKER_00] with, I don't know, he's got similar proclivities, you know, oh, God, now everything's out of
[SPEAKER_00] control, I mean, but it's not by choice, you know, I just, my life just got away from me.
[SPEAKER_03] That sounds a lot like denial, Michael, this is really worrying.
[SPEAKER_03] So, any other violent urges, friend?
[SPEAKER_00] Yeah, I mean, I've had good days.
[SPEAKER_00] doc but mostly they've just been really bad days we're doing really bad things you know
[SPEAKER_03] hurting people you're a very sick man michael i'm doing all i can but
[SPEAKER_03] we need more sessions michael i really just
[SPEAKER_00] I want to be happy, Doc. Is that so bad?
[SPEAKER_03] Okay. And what about your sexual behaviors?
[SPEAKER_00] I've been a really good boy, Doc. Really good. Not one problem.
[SPEAKER_03] I'm glad to hear that. Really glad. Keep working it. This is great.
[SPEAKER_00] I just ain't myself right now, Doc. Not since my life was crazy.
[SPEAKER_03] You're plainly addicted to chaos.
[SPEAKER_00] Well, I'm not sure that's true, Doc. I'm not exactly enjoying myself here.
[SPEAKER_00] Now, what I'm addicted to is not getting killed.
[SPEAKER_00] But for some reason, I keep getting my ass into situations where getting killed is a little hard to avoid.
[SPEAKER_03] What about the people you kill?
[SPEAKER_00] Well, yeah, but that's not for fun.
[SPEAKER_03] Are you sure?
[SPEAKER_00] What exactly are you asking, Doc?
[SPEAKER_00] Am I a psychopath who enjoys suffering?
[SPEAKER_00] Or a sociopath who doesn't give a flying fuck about the rules?
[SPEAKER_00] Come on, we've already had this conversation, right?
[SPEAKER_00] I'm neither.
[SPEAKER_00] I'm just a fat, washed-up jock who...
[SPEAKER_00] get his head around the fact that his high school football career didn't play out the way that he
[SPEAKER_00] planned the only way i'm content and and competent is with a gun in my hand or a price on my head

[SPEAKER_00] problems i'm rich i'm miserable i mean half the time my kids can't stand me the other half my
[SPEAKER_00] wife is cheating on me i kill people without remorse doc
[SPEAKER_00] I'm pretty average for this town, really.
[SPEAKER_00] Wait a minute, that's the shot.
[SPEAKER_00] I think I'm having a breakthrough here, Doc.
[SPEAKER_00] This, I think, no, no, I know that I'm just terrified that I'm gonna...
[SPEAKER_03] I'm sure you are, but that's really all we have time for.

[SPEAKER_01] The hell is this place garment factory I needed a job that didn't require me to do anything apart from paying taxes
[SPEAKER_00] Okay, listen
[SPEAKER_00] What do you got the whole
[SPEAKER_01] Grail, the Union Depository, and they say it cannot be hit. Hasn't been yet. Look, I just owe
[SPEAKER_00] some Mexican hood a couple million bucks to erect his girlfriend's house. I don't need to go crazy
[SPEAKER_01] here. Which Mexican? Martín Madraso. He's not supposed to be very nice. When I met him, he was
[SPEAKER_01] charming. So what do you think? Oh, um, let's see. Either we hit a bank in the sticks or we do a
[SPEAKER_01] store. Which do you like? Well, stores.
[SPEAKER_01] usually easier I gotta make a big take well gems it is then let's go to
[SPEAKER_01] Vangelico buy ourselves an engagement ring we're gonna need a crew I could
[SPEAKER_01] round up some of the old guys there are no old guys Moses ironically he found
[SPEAKER_01] Jesus all those Irish crazies they mostly just disappeared that crew from
[SPEAKER_01] the south they all went down there was a an Eastern European guy making moves in
[SPEAKER_01] Liberty City but yeah he went quiet
[SPEAKER_00] All right. Well, we're gonna need a crew you got any contacts in LS or not
[SPEAKER_01] I've been working with someone but they're too unpredictable. I'll have to reach out to some other guys
[SPEAKER_01] The shops on little portola
[SPEAKER_01] Your FIB buddies. They know your
[SPEAKER_00] back in business? FIB buddies? What are you talking about? I checked out the WPP thing.
[SPEAKER_01] Doesn't look like any WITSEC program I'm aware of. For starters, they don't put witnesses up
[SPEAKER_00] in multi-million dollar mansions in Rockford Hills. Maybe they thought this would be the best
[SPEAKER_01] cover. And most witnesses don't transfer five-figure sums into a particular FIB agent's
[SPEAKER_01] bank account every month. Of course, the money gets moved around and washed through a number
[SPEAKER_01] of fronts, but the trail is there. Deposits and withdrawals.
[SPEAKER_01] some every month each Dave Norton white middle-aged divorcee unremarkable career
[SPEAKER_01] except for one incident the shooting of a notorious stick-up man Michael town
[SPEAKER_00] yeah yeah yeah yeah all right Lester I'm very impressed look we can talk about
[SPEAKER_01] this another time and take these glasses my eyesight's fine they're fitted with a
[SPEAKER_01] camera and a radio relay I'm gonna run the operation from our while you're in
[SPEAKER_01] the store getting what we need
[SPEAKER_01] Hey, that's a great car.
[SPEAKER_01] I'll be some slack, dude.
[SPEAKER_01] Whatever!
[SPEAKER_02] Jesus!
[SPEAKER_00] Long time no see, U.S.
[SPEAKER_00] Good lord!
[SPEAKER_01] Okay, let's get this done
[SPEAKER_00] You reading me?
[SPEAKER_00] Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_02] Okay, we need shots of the security features, the alarm system, ventilation, cameras.
[SPEAKER_02] Oh, all right.
[SPEAKER_01] I'm not too familiar with this city.
[SPEAKER_00] Sir, thank you
[SPEAKER_00] Okay, that's their alarm. Can you get me an air vent in one of the cameras?
[SPEAKER_00] Got the security camera and the ventilation in that shot.
[SPEAKER_00] Now speak to the assistant and see if...
[SPEAKER_00] If there's anything else we need to know.
[SPEAKER_00] Hey, beautiful.
[SPEAKER_00] I need to pick up a little something for the woman in my life.
[SPEAKER_00] Well, one of them.
[SPEAKER_01] Sir, I'm sure we can help you.
[SPEAKER_01] Tell me about her. What's her taste?
[SPEAKER_00] Cheap, thank God.
[SPEAKER_00] This ain't my wife we're talking about.
[SPEAKER_00] I don't know. I don't want to spend too much.
[SPEAKER_00] I'm thinking maybe ten grand?
[SPEAKER_01] Our rings start at eight. Our pendants start at twelve.
[SPEAKER_00] All right.
[SPEAKER_00] So these things built the...
[SPEAKER_00] or am I just paying for the Vangelical logo here?
[SPEAKER_01] No, no, no.
[SPEAKER_01] We use perfect clarity jewels.
[SPEAKER_01] 18 karat gold, 950 platinum.
[SPEAKER_01] Nothing but the best.
[SPEAKER_00] All right.
[SPEAKER_00] I think you just made a sale.
[SPEAKER_00] I'm going to take a look around.
[SPEAKER_00] Think about it.
[SPEAKER_00] Come back to you, baby.
[SPEAKER_00] Don't go anywhere.
[SPEAKER_01] I understand.
[SPEAKER_00] Okay.
[SPEAKER_01] Thank you, sir.
[SPEAKER_00] You got it.
[SPEAKER_00] Come back to me.
[SPEAKER_00] Have a wonderful day.
[SPEAKER_00] So, we good?
[SPEAKER_00] Almost.
[SPEAKER_00] I need to get eyes on the roof.
[SPEAKER_00] See where the ventilation comes out.
[SPEAKER_00] Hurry this up, Michael.
[SPEAKER_00] Yo, what's up, man?
[SPEAKER_00] What's going on, my dude?
[SPEAKER_01] Drive around the block and look for a way up to the roof.
[SPEAKER_01] Look, there. Some construction.
[SPEAKER_00] If they're gutting the place, I might be able to get to the roof.
[SPEAKER_01] You're here, and you're meant to be 50 feet above us.
[SPEAKER_00] So you keep up with the old crew?
[SPEAKER_01] Well, after your death slash disappearance, there wasn't much holding us together.
[SPEAKER_00] Yeah. You see him at all? After the incident?
[SPEAKER_00] I saw a ladder. Climb up it and see if you can get to the roof.
[SPEAKER_01] I kept tabs on him for a while, needed to know that he didn't blame me.
[SPEAKER_00] Yeah, where'd he go?
[SPEAKER_01] North, south, east, west.
[SPEAKER_01] wherever there were liquor stores to turn over and hitchhikers to disappear.
[SPEAKER_00] Where did they bury him?
[SPEAKER_00] They buried him? Not as far as I know.
[SPEAKER_00] He's probably a John Doe then, right?
[SPEAKER_00] What do you think? O.D.? Shootout? Maybe just a car crash, right?
[SPEAKER_00] Anonymous charred remains on the highway?
[SPEAKER_00] They only knew what a sick puppy they had on their hands.
[SPEAKER_01] I'm on the roof!
[SPEAKER_00] I need to know where the air coming out of those vents in Evangelico originates.
[SPEAKER_00] There should be a unit above the store.
[SPEAKER_00] Hey, I see the vents.
[SPEAKER_00] Yeah, I'm up a satellite image.
[SPEAKER_00] It looks like the highest point is on the northwest side.
[SPEAKER_00] Get a shot from there.
[SPEAKER_00] Well placed to take the photo of the system now.
[SPEAKER_00] Take the shot and we're finished.
[SPEAKER_00] We've got our shot of the Vangelico units.
[SPEAKER_00] Looks good.
[SPEAKER_00] Okay, that'll do.
[SPEAKER_00] Now come back to me before someone spots you up there.
[SPEAKER_01] Will do.
[SPEAKER_00] Come on, Michael, let's go!
[SPEAKER_01] Here take your glasses back. Let's go back to the garment factory. I called ahead and told him to start setting up the information
[SPEAKER_01] So what did you see nothing that'll cause undue complications?
[SPEAKER_00] Yeah, it looked like a simple setup cameras broadcasting to a remote server. We might be able to wipe
[SPEAKER_00] Security guard on the door? He won't want to die for rich assholes who rub his nose in it.
[SPEAKER_01] Good. The alarm system's linked to the door lock. We'll get a good window if someone talented hacks it.
[SPEAKER_00] Anything else?
[SPEAKER_01] Well, the more valuable merchandise is in the cabinets in the center of the store, by the register, so I'd start there.
[SPEAKER_01] Glass in the cabinets wasn't bulletproof, means you can smash them easy enough, but the stones will be in the safe at night.
[SPEAKER_00] So, we go in when it's open, then?
[SPEAKER_00] Right. Once we melt down the gold, re-
[SPEAKER_00] cut the rocks that's an okay score yeah shame we can't go in after hours man those vents look
[SPEAKER_01] promising i might be able to flip that another way i'm listening wait till we get back about the crew
[SPEAKER_00] yeah there's this kid who's been helping me maybe we could cut him i don't work with amateurs he
[SPEAKER_00] ain't an amateur or if he is he's a gifted amateur about to turn pro he's a good kid lester you know
[SPEAKER_01] what they say it's your funeral one of them at least
[SPEAKER_01] Yeah
[SPEAKER_01] workers have their uses okay let me set this up
[SPEAKER_00] Nice to see the methods haven't changed.
[SPEAKER_01] Well, we've got to figure out what we're doing somehow.
[SPEAKER_01] All the crews, the roles, prep work.
[SPEAKER_01] Don't want to leave evidence behind on a hard drive.
[SPEAKER_01] So, yeah, the methods don't change.
[SPEAKER_00] Right. Not for a pro.
[SPEAKER_01] Well, mapping out the options.
[SPEAKER_01] I'm showing you all the angles.
[SPEAKER_01] That's my area of professional expertise.
[SPEAKER_01] Making decisions.
[SPEAKER_01] That is your domain, my friend.
[SPEAKER_01] Here, there's two ways I see of doing this we go in smart or we go in loud and dumb
[SPEAKER_01] Remember the vents if we're gonna be smart
[SPEAKER_01] We pump a little knockout gas through the air system and hit the cabinets while everyone's out
[SPEAKER_01] You'll have to source the gas of course
[SPEAKER_01] But crowd control won't slow you down and that might improve the take the cover is pest control
[SPEAKER_01] So no one will look twice when you're wearing gas masks. It means getting a pest control van though
[SPEAKER_01] you go in dumb and you'll need your
[SPEAKER_01] famous way with people and four carbine rifles we can't buy them and risk them getting traced
[SPEAKER_01] no no we've got to find some in circulation it's awkward it's uh real awkward but this is the gun
[SPEAKER_01] favored by lspd tactical teams so one of their vans is probably a good place to look a hacker
[SPEAKER_01] can disable the cameras the length of time depends on their ability the alarm will be operating on
[SPEAKER_01] the same window the exit strategy is more or less the same for both options the driver you pick will
[SPEAKER_01] of course source some bikes you come out
[SPEAKER_01] the store and make your way through the new subway tunnel they're digging off the del perro freeway
[SPEAKER_01] you lose the cops in there and meet a truck in the ls river all right i want my guy franklin
[SPEAKER_01] on the getaway he can handle a bike all right if you vouch for him i'll take the risk so how
[SPEAKER_01] do you want to do this run into the front door or try to play it smart ah still a hot head
[SPEAKER_01] and some things never change select personnel with that in mind as ever the better
[SPEAKER_01] they are, the bigger the cut. Now the driver, they'll source the bikes, lead you out through
[SPEAKER_01] the tunnels. Eddie Cho, now you can count on him to get you out of a spot. Guns, yeah, it might be
[SPEAKER_01] hot and heavy in there. This guy, I'll keep it from going bad. Gus Moda, he's a pro, not much
[SPEAKER_01] else to say. Hacker, back office, but this is the person who will determine...
[SPEAKER_00] and how long you get inside this guy Ricky I met him at the life invader
[SPEAKER_00] office he may not be that good but he's enthusiastic let's take a chance on him
[SPEAKER_01] that look good to you are you sure okay I'll look into how you can find attack
[SPEAKER_01] team and get their weapons and I'll be in touch yeah I'll call you when
[SPEAKER_01] everything's ready you'll need to pitch it to the guys
[SPEAKER_00] What my rep don't count for nothing no more?
[SPEAKER_01] You're a dead man Michael
[SPEAKER_01] I'll call you
[SPEAKER_00] Hey, what's up?
[SPEAKER_00] Hey, man, it's me, Michael.
[SPEAKER_00] What's going on?
[SPEAKER_00] Listen, um, I gotta get hold of the money for that house we pulled down.
[SPEAKER_00] So, I'm getting a crew together for, uh, you can guess.
[SPEAKER_00] The pay will be awful, and the risk will be high.
[SPEAKER_00] But you might learn something, if you're interested.
[SPEAKER_01] Man, that's not exactly a great sales pitch, dog, but I guess I gotta start somewhere.
[SPEAKER_00] Thank you.
[SPEAKER_00] Maybe one day you can put together your own deals.
[SPEAKER_00] Your own jobs.
[SPEAKER_00] So.
[SPEAKER_00] There's still some preparation I gotta do. Sit tight for a while. My buddy Lester will get in touch with the details.
