WEBVTT - Going South 0:00:05.000 --> 0:00:18.840 Gampsite Media. 0:00:06.440 --> 0:00:21.080 See, hey, Rory, can you recap for us what happened 0:00:21.120 --> 0:00:22.040 last episode? 0:00:22.600 --> 0:00:25.720 Yeah, you guys are in recap corner with Rory Scovell. 0:00:26.160 --> 0:00:28.760 Basically what we got into the last episode. David Gampt 0:00:28.960 --> 0:00:30.880 works for Loomis Fargo to but in the fact he 0:00:30.920 --> 0:00:34.479 thinks it's Wells Fargo, and they transfer money and they 0:00:34.560 --> 0:00:35.520 hold money, and. 0:00:35.800 --> 0:00:38.599 He decided that he wanted a new life. 0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:41.880 And came across a co worker, Kelly, who I don't 0:00:41.920 --> 0:00:43.720 know that even wants a new life, maybe the biggest 0:00:43.760 --> 0:00:47.080 pothead I've ever listened to the voice of. And he 0:00:47.159 --> 0:00:49.559 decided that they're going to steal seventeen million dollars from 0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:52.600 Loomis Fargo, and Kelly's friend Steve is going to mastermind 0:00:52.640 --> 0:00:57.240 the entire ordeal. And we learned that David gamp had 0:00:57.280 --> 0:01:01.200 teamed up with a bunch of morons, including himself, in 0:01:01.320 --> 0:01:05.160 trying to pull off the biggest heist in American history. 0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:08.600 Okay, then to see how our heroes fare this episode, 0:01:08.640 --> 0:01:10.959 I'm gonna hand it off to our friend Johnny Knoxville. 0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:14.319 With episode two of Crimeless Hillbilly Heist. 0:01:27.440 --> 0:01:31.520 David Gant wakes up on October fourth, nineteen ninety seven, 0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:34.880 feeling like he's got the whole world fooled. When he 0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:37.200 climbs out of the bed he shares with his wife, Tammy, 0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:40.720 he still hasn't even given her a hint about his plan. 0:01:40.959 --> 0:01:43.240 I should have been hired as an actor from that one. 0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:46.440 I played it off like nothing's different, you know, even 0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:48.480 visiting parents the weekend before. 0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:52.040 He packs his lunch just like he does every day 0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:54.200 and jumps in his truck to go to work. 0:01:55.280 --> 0:01:58.520 I had this pretty little red Dodge Dakota and it 0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:01.760 was a long drive King's Mountain to Charlotte, and I 0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:03.600 used to drive like a demon. 0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:11.280 It's a long commute despite David's outlaw driving habits. And 0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:13.840 just like he does every morning, David listens to the 0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:15.919 radio show John Boy and Billy. 0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:18.680 I wanted to write to let y'all know that not 0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:20.760 all prisoners are mean and dangerous. 0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:22.440 Some are merely stupid. 0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:25.560 This morning, John Boy and Billy are doing a musical 0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:28.720 segment and what should come on but take the money 0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:29.160 and run? 0:02:31.360 --> 0:02:34.480 Ca on, take the money and Run. I thought this 0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:36.200 is an omen. 0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:40.680 The lyrics to this song are absolutely perfect. It's about 0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:43.920 two young lovers who want to avoid a great, big 0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:48.400 hassle while robbing a castle, and most importantly they yes 0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:56.919 take the money and run. One of them slips away 0:02:56.960 --> 0:02:59.840 with the f fourmentioned money, and then the lovers meet 0:02:59.919 --> 0:03:03.840 up the very next day. Anyway, David didn't know exactly 0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:06.760 when Kelly was coming down to Mexico. It probably wouldn't 0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:08.760 be the very next day, but still. 0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:14.280 I just felt great about it, and I'm singing along 0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:17.960 as one is wont to do off key loudly poorly. 0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:20.839 It just really set the tone for the day. 0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:24.960 At this moment, David feels like he's already left the 0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:28.160 past behind. The good, the bad. It's all in the 0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:32.440 rear view of his Dodge Dakota in the heist the Money, 0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:36.160 the trip down south of Mexico with Kelly. Fate has 0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:40.119 already spelled it out for him. It was all gonna unfold, 0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:44.000 just like the song on the radio. His last day 0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:53.400 as David Gant is gonna go great. From SmartLess Media, 0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:57.800 Campside Media and Big Money Players in partnership with iHeart Podcasts. 0:03:57.960 --> 0:04:01.120 I'm Johnny Knoxville and you're listening to Crime List Bill 0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:17.880 Billy Heist. This is our second episode going South. You 0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:21.120 already know about David Gant working his ass off to 0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:23.840 steal two thousand pounds of cash from the vault all 0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:27.440 by himself. But what we haven't gotten into just yet 0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:29.520 is the Kelly Jane Campbell. 0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:29.640 Of it all. 0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:32.600 David said he texted Kelly that morning to let her 0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:35.000 know that they were on. He asked her to get 0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:36.880 him a money belt so he could sneak some cash 0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:39.520 in New Mexico, and also a pair of bolt cutters 0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:41.680 so he could break into where the bigger bills were 0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:45.400 kept in the vault. Kelly, of course, never got around 0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:46.880 to getting either of those things. 0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:51.599 I could have probably easily doubled my money. 0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:56.440 Take say Lovey instead. Kelly's in position in her pickup truck, 0:04:56.480 --> 0:05:00.520 waiting across from Loomis Fargo's chain link front gate. Kelly 0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:03.160 described her critical role at this stage in the plan 0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:04.880 to journalist Jeff Diamond. 0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:07.200 She had a very good memory about what happened during 0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:08.960 the height, at least for what you remembered. 0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:11.360 Uh, and that was bad. I'm sorry. 0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:13.680 She was smoking marijuana the whole time. Can't you remember anything? 0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:19.120 Yeah, it's called crs. Can't remember shit. I guess it 0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:21.839 was from the fact that I was smoking too much 0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:23.880 weed and not thinking properly. 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:26.279 Have you been officially diagnosed with that? 0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:28.840 Yes? I have been officially diagnosed. 0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:33.520 David's escape from his money worries and his marriage was 0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:37.080 a vivid fantasy that now seemed real running off the 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:41.320 Mexico with Kelly. Kelly could only pretend to share this fantasy. 0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:43.480 Her escape was weed. 0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:47.160 It was just like whatever. I didn't really put much 0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:50.200 thought into it. Once I'd smoked, you know, the reality 0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:52.600 of it was just like, eh, it's not that bad. 0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:56.640 Clearly, her involvement in the heightst fit into the category 0:05:56.680 --> 0:05:58.720 of things she didn't want to spend too much time 0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:04.840 thinking about anyway. While David was breaking his back lugging 0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:07.640 cash in the vault, Kelly's at the front gate, just 0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:11.279 sitting in her truck, and Kelly's friend Steve, the self 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:14.480 appointed mafia don running the heist, is parked in the 0:06:14.520 --> 0:06:17.680 Sedan next tour along with two other geniuses. Steve has 0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:20.240 roped into the plan, his cousin Scott and his other 0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:23.920 dumb little buddy Eric, while David sweating through his socks. 0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:26.720 None of these three people are really doing much of anything. 0:06:27.200 --> 0:06:29.120 I don't think there was a lot of preparation I 0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:29.680 had to do. 0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:36.360 Yeah, I'm struggling. I was a skinny, a little worry guy. 0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:40.360 The only thing any of these people did while David 0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:43.240 was working to pull off the second biggest cash heist 0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:47.560 in American history is call him and page him over 0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:48.839 and over again. 0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:53.440 And then I look and there's this big bag jammed 0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:56.920 up in the corner, and it's got a little over 0:06:56.960 --> 0:06:57.719 half a minute. 0:06:57.760 --> 0:07:00.400 So I throw it on top, and then more beeps 0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:03.760 from the pager and another call on the Looma's phone. 0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:06.280 This is when they try to convince me to come 0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:11.680 out with half a million dollars. Right, I'm not throwing 0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:14.400 my life away for half a million dollars. 0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:20.040 Never again decides to get greedy, I guess. So I 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:23.080 have to keep texting him and calling him, and he's 0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:26.520 getting pissed off because he's working his balls off and 0:07:26.560 --> 0:07:29.480 they're loading up money. He's like, I'm taking the ones, 0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:33.480 I'm taking the files, I'm taking it all. So he's 0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:34.920 taken forever to get out. 0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:39.640 Yes, David is being extremely thorough. He takes so long 0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:42.680 that Steve starts to get paranoid. How long can it 0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:44.800 take to grab some cash out of an unluck vault? 0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:48.160 And drive away. Is David betraying them? How could he? 0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:51.720 Steve was just like, you gotta make sure he's still 0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:54.240 up with it. He still wants to do this, he said, 0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:56.960 just make sure that you know he's still thinking that 0:07:57.040 --> 0:07:58.440 you're going to go with him. 0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:02.640 So at Steve's urging, Kelly kept blowing up David's pager 0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:05.840 with one four to threes, the I love you emoji 0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:06.600 of the nineties. 0:08:07.080 --> 0:08:11.040 I would keep texting him I love you on the pager, 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:13.320 which is not like I said, one four to three, 0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:15.880 And I don't know how many times I put that 0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:17.600 in there while he was loading the money. 0:08:18.600 --> 0:08:21.880 Why one four to three I has one letter, love 0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:25.960 has four letters, U has three letters. There you go. So, 0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:30.040 finally David has successfully loaded all the money into the 0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:32.960 van while ignoring dozens of alerts on his pager. 0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:36.880 And the pile of money I ended up with was 0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:41.800 around three and a half four foot tall, about approximately 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:46.079 nine feet long, and it weighed over a ton. 0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:50.400 He calls Kelly the letter know he's coming out, but 0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:52.440 that's when the backgate won't open. 0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:55.680 So here's my options. I either moved the vans around 0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:59.920 inside or I transferred the money to another van. 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:03.840 So David moves several vans blocking his way between him 0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:06.120 and the front gate, which isn't stuck. 0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:08.840 Thank god, I'm a decent driver. That was a pretty 0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:09.960 good driver back then. 0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:12.680 This new gate that David's going to use, it's the 0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:15.520 gate where Kelly, Steve, and the other Nimrods have been 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:19.920 waiting all this time. Finally, the nondescript white van David's 0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:23.360 driving makes it to the gate, the headlights shining through 0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:26.840 the chain link. Kelly watches as David hops out to 0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:30.320 open the gate, the second gate he's tried tonight, so 0:09:30.480 --> 0:09:34.320 close to freedom. 0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:36.160 And the gate's stuck. The gate won't open, So we're saying, like, 0:09:36.200 --> 0:09:37.680 oh god, what do we do? What do we do? 0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:39.400 And he's struggling trying to get. 0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:42.640 The gate outen I mean, someone could get out and 0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:45.720 help David. He's on the other side of an unlocked 0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:50.080 chain link gate with a van full of seventeen million dollars. 0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:53.080 But Steve didn't won't get to see him. 0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:56.040 So all right, if Steve gets out, it will ruin 0:09:56.080 --> 0:09:58.920 the whole reservoir. Dogs thing about not being able to 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:05.439 identify each other. Steve's the kingpin, the head of the 0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:08.520 entire operation. He can't get his hands dirty with this 0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:11.280 kind of thing. He tries to get his cousin Scott 0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:14.200 to do it, but he declines because he's busy doing nothing. 0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:18.040 All this time, David is struggling trap behind the gate 0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:22.280 and Kelly just watching it all. But finally Steve succeeds 0:10:22.320 --> 0:10:23.760 in getting cousin Scott to do it. 0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:26.880 Steve's like, Scott, go help him get out and help him. 0:10:27.280 --> 0:10:29.480 I guess he had his cousin with him so he 0:10:29.520 --> 0:10:32.600 could make him get out if we was needed. 0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:34.839 Scott told me he really didn't want to do it, 0:10:34.960 --> 0:10:36.880 but he did anyway, and he helped David get out. 0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:38.160 At a boy. 0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:44.760 Meanwhile, on the other side of the gate, David is exhausted. 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:47.440 He looks up from his struggles to see a man 0:10:47.480 --> 0:10:50.840 he's never seen before approaching him. The man will not 0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:53.720 look him in the eye, but he does help David 0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:58.080 open the gate, and then finally David hops in the 0:10:58.160 --> 0:11:02.000 van drives through the gate and into his new life. 0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:07.640 The road he's on, believe it or not, is called 0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:08.760 freedom Drive. 0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:16.400 What does going down Freedom drive to freedom? Is that 0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:19.439 the hand of fate or is that just happenstance? 0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:23.320 So the plan is to form a three car caravan, 0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:27.000 Kelly in her pick up, Steve and Isedan, and David 0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:29.600 in the van With all the money. They'll drive to 0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:32.280 a nearby parking lot, where David will leave the van 0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:35.439 with Steve and his d list Henchman, and Kelly and 0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:39.040 David will drive to the airport. David can tell the 0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:42.199 armored van is loaded way beyond what it's meant to hold. 0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:46.480 It's steering heavy, the shocks are nearly maxed out. David 0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:49.359 wants to celebrate, and he could really use a cigarette, 0:11:49.760 --> 0:11:51.800 but he's so anxious that he can't even manage to 0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:54.200 light it. That's when he sees something. 0:11:54.360 --> 0:11:58.839 There's a Troy cop across from you. If he notices 0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:02.480 it's an ATM van out at this late night, he's 0:12:02.520 --> 0:12:04.199 gonna pull me over and ask questions. 0:12:04.920 --> 0:12:09.199 Every muscle in his body tenses up. David still has 0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:13.080 his company handgun with him, but he'd really rather not 0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:13.560 use it. 0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:18.400 If that guy had pulled me over, one of us 0:12:18.400 --> 0:12:21.760 would have died that night. I'm like, it ain't gonna 0:12:21.760 --> 0:12:22.000 be me. 0:12:24.960 --> 0:12:29.360 Luckily, the cop doesn't notice, and David continues driving, following 0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:33.040 Kelly to the rendezvous point. They drive past rows of 0:12:33.080 --> 0:12:36.560 industrial buildings and Kelly finally pulls into an open gate. 0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:39.319 David hops out of the van and leaves it behind, 0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:42.720 along with the two security tape showing his cash grab. 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:45.959 He takes a master keyring with about oh one hundred 0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:48.280 and twenty five keys on it and hands it to 0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:49.439 one of Steve's goons. 0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:54.080 Do not lose these keys. These are the keys to 0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:59.800 this van. So he had this ring of keys. Instead 0:12:59.800 --> 0:13:03.880 of taking only the keys he needed, he took the 0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:06.640 whole ring of keys to all their vehicles. 0:13:07.440 --> 0:13:10.880 Mind you, David had just successfully stolen more money than 0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:13.120 all these people could earn at their jobs in a 0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:17.120 few centuries. But he can't do anything right. In Kelly's eyes. 0:13:17.440 --> 0:13:18.719 He took his sweet. 0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:20.160 Time in the vault, and now he just had to 0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:23.200 grab all the keys to all the vehicles as a 0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:27.199 little extra few to Loomis. And now it's Kelly's job 0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:30.480 to drive David to the airport and continue stringing him along. 0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:33.800 Oh right, maybe there was another job she was supposed 0:13:33.800 --> 0:13:34.040 to do. 0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:40.040 In the meantime, I'm driving Kant to the airport, which 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:42.880 I didn't check to see if it was the international airport. 0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:59.480 I mean, why would you David Gant took the money 0:13:59.800 --> 0:14:04.240 and ran. His old life was officially over. He couldn't 0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:08.000 have it back even if he wanted to. Now he's 0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:11.480 on the road with his beautiful accomplice and future Mexican 0:14:11.520 --> 0:14:15.880 Combanta mate, headed for freedom courtesy of the airport in Columbia, 0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:18.400 South Carolina. He's feeling great. 0:14:19.480 --> 0:14:21.360 I'm about as amped up as I can get. 0:14:23.080 --> 0:14:25.040 Of course, David took a bag of cash with him 0:14:25.080 --> 0:14:27.760 to tide him over in Mexico. He doesn't know how much. 0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:30.560 It's a tiny fraction of what he stole, but it's 0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:34.240 enough to last him a while. And even this much money, 0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:37.080 a relatively small amount he can hide on his person, 0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:40.560 is more than he's ever had in his life. Kelly, 0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:44.680 normally pretty sedate, not dimension sedated, is also euphoric. 0:14:45.120 --> 0:14:49.800 I remember saying I'm a rich bitch now and kind 0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:50.440 of felt good. 0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:55.840 The airport in Columbia, South Carolina is only ninety minutes 0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:59.720 away and a sneaky choice because surely the authorities would 0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:02.280 be You've seen the airport in Charlotte, just a short 0:15:02.360 --> 0:15:06.000 drive from Loomis. Still, the job isn't done. David is 0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:08.760 the only current Loomis employee among the gang of thieves, 0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:13.160 and the sooner he disappears, the better. So onto a 0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:15.480 few things Kelly had been putting off until now. 0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:18.160 I was supposed to get him a money belt, and 0:15:18.200 --> 0:15:20.600 I didn't get the money belt. So he's like, well, 0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:23.520 how am I gonna hide it? So he's like, well, 0:15:23.560 --> 0:15:25.880 I'm gonna stick so many stacks in my boots because 0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:29.240 he had on cowboy boots. And I said, well, this is. 0:15:29.160 --> 0:15:32.560 Where Kelly Campbell has the greatest idea she's ever had 0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:36.040 in her life. We're in bo dunk, South Carolina. Sorry, 0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:40.960 South Carolina. It's true. She runs into a pigly wiggly 0:15:41.160 --> 0:15:44.880 or somehow a little store is late. We're in the 0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:47.440 middle of nowhere. The only place is that she runs 0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:51.000 in and gets some tape and a pair of couple 0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:56.040 of pairs of hose pantyhose. Of course, greatest idea ever come. 0:15:56.160 --> 0:16:00.200 We stuffed money into the hose, stringing around me free 0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:02.920 good times. Tape it money belt. 0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:06.560 The money belt problems are solved. But that's not the 0:16:06.600 --> 0:16:08.360 only place David will stash the money. 0:16:08.760 --> 0:16:12.280 I'm stuffing money in my boots. I think I put 0:16:12.840 --> 0:16:15.560 a good pair of eleven and a half w's will 0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:20.040 fit some feet and about twelve grand, and I've got 0:16:20.080 --> 0:16:23.400 six grand over here, six grand over here. I've got 0:16:23.520 --> 0:16:25.560 my Walt jam Pack money. 0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:30.600 So David is all set to make a break for it, 0:16:30.880 --> 0:16:34.160 and maybe it's something about driving farther and farther away 0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:36.960 from the money. But the glease starts to wear off. 0:16:37.560 --> 0:16:40.920 He starts to realize he left millions of dollars and 0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:44.720 two security tapes showing him stealing those millions of dollars 0:16:44.840 --> 0:16:47.720 from a variety of angles in a parking lot with 0:16:47.800 --> 0:16:48.800 some total strangers. 0:16:49.120 --> 0:16:51.160 One of the central questions I had for David was 0:16:51.360 --> 0:16:53.520 why did you steal this money and then give it 0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:56.280 all to people, including someone you didn't know? And his 0:16:56.440 --> 0:17:00.240 answer has stayed with me through time, which is he said, 0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:02.800 I was in the military. I was taught that if 0:17:02.800 --> 0:17:04.600 you give me a team of five people, I could 0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:07.160 go anywhere and do anything. Five good guys, I could 0:17:07.160 --> 0:17:08.399 go anywhere and do anything. 0:17:09.160 --> 0:17:12.399 Good guys being the operative word. Can he really trust 0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:15.480 these people? David asked Kelly to call and remind the 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:19.000 guys to ditch the videotapes. Of course, they say, we 0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:23.320 definitely will. Anyway, they're continuing on to the airport, and 0:17:23.359 --> 0:17:27.560 then Kelly's phone rings again. It's Steve with a problem. 0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:30.479 They can't get into the van, you know, the van 0:17:30.560 --> 0:17:31.920 that has all the money in it. 0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:36.080 Apparently they dropped the key and they got mixed in 0:17:36.119 --> 0:17:37.520 with all the rest of them. So they've got this 0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:41.280 ring of keys like this, and they can't figure out 0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:45.040 which key it is to open the door. So they're pannikin. 0:17:45.560 --> 0:17:48.119 But Kelly and David can't turn around. They're already too 0:17:48.240 --> 0:17:50.439 far down the road and they need to get David 0:17:50.480 --> 0:17:57.280 on a plane. Meanwhile, Steven cousin Scott in a third henchman, 0:17:57.359 --> 0:18:00.119 Big Eric, another guy Steve recruited at the last and 0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:06.280 our operating light clockwork. If that clock didn't work, Steve 0:18:06.320 --> 0:18:08.800 had promised each of these clowns a cool one hundred 0:18:08.880 --> 0:18:12.000 grand for their services. They clearly had no idea what 0:18:12.040 --> 0:18:12.920 they were in for. 0:18:13.160 --> 0:18:13.800 At this point. 0:18:13.920 --> 0:18:17.080 The heights that already happened, and even if they didn't 0:18:17.080 --> 0:18:18.440 get away with it, they were all going to be 0:18:18.480 --> 0:18:21.359 in trouble. Scott didn't know which key to use, so 0:18:21.840 --> 0:18:24.520 there were a lot of them, and they were like, okay, 0:18:24.520 --> 0:18:25.560 which one of these fifths. 0:18:27.600 --> 0:18:29.919 It's a dark parking lot, and there are just so 0:18:30.160 --> 0:18:32.840 many damn keys on this keychain it seems like it's 0:18:32.880 --> 0:18:35.679 going to be impossible to find the right key. So 0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:39.080 someone gets the bright idea to break into the van, 0:18:39.480 --> 0:18:43.360 the armored van. They try smashing the windows with the rock, 0:18:43.640 --> 0:18:47.160 but it's bulletproof, it doesn't even chip. They then tried 0:18:47.200 --> 0:18:51.520 jimmy in the back door opened nothing, budgets. It's almost 0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:58.080 like this armored van was built to keep out criminals. 0:18:59.119 --> 0:19:02.760 After being utterly defeated by the armored van, Steve and 0:19:02.840 --> 0:19:05.640 the crew finally realized they couldn't get this thing open 0:19:05.720 --> 0:19:07.600 unless they had a few days of free time and 0:19:07.640 --> 0:19:11.440 a welding kid. So sufficiently humbled, they start trying the 0:19:11.520 --> 0:19:16.480 keys one by one in the dark, while waiting for 0:19:16.560 --> 0:19:20.600 the cops to roll up at any moment, and finally, 0:19:20.880 --> 0:19:24.600 thank god, they find the right key. They opened the van, 0:19:24.800 --> 0:19:27.439 and for the first time they are treated to a 0:19:27.600 --> 0:19:30.440 full view of what David had been busy with during 0:19:30.480 --> 0:19:38.040 those hours in the vault. The van was full floor 0:19:38.280 --> 0:19:43.040 to ceiling with shrink wrapped stacks of cold, hard cash. 0:19:43.359 --> 0:19:46.440 David had literally kept going until he ran out of room. 0:19:46.760 --> 0:19:49.359 He couldn't fit an extra five bucks for gas money 0:19:49.359 --> 0:19:52.679 into the back of that van. Steve ordered cousin Scott 0:19:52.720 --> 0:19:55.680 into the van to start unloading. The plan was simple enough, 0:19:55.720 --> 0:19:58.240 they just had to move the money from one van 0:19:58.359 --> 0:20:03.520 into another van. Was so much money, they started dumping 0:20:03.560 --> 0:20:06.080 cash into some plastic blue barrels they grabbed from the 0:20:06.080 --> 0:20:09.440 loading dog and then shuffled those barrels to the rental van. 0:20:10.560 --> 0:20:12.719 They were finally working into a good rhythm when they 0:20:12.760 --> 0:20:13.320 heard something. 0:20:13.640 --> 0:20:16.240 Scott told me that he's tharft to hear a siren, 0:20:17.119 --> 0:20:18.919 and he says, he puts his hands up and he 0:20:18.920 --> 0:20:21.600 walks towards the back of the truck which he'd been loading, 0:20:21.680 --> 0:20:24.359 and he thinks it's all over for them, And amazingly, 0:20:24.960 --> 0:20:30.280 it's an ambulance on Route eighty five, driving away from them. 0:20:30.520 --> 0:20:38.200 Scott shakes it off and then gets back to work. Meanwhile, 0:20:38.280 --> 0:20:41.480 on I eighty five, David and Kelly continue to drive 0:20:41.520 --> 0:20:44.600 through the night to the airport in Columbia, David's first 0:20:44.640 --> 0:20:49.240 step towards freedom. Where exactly in Mexico David's flying to 0:20:50.040 --> 0:20:53.960 that just hasn't come up. He figured his accomplices must 0:20:53.960 --> 0:20:56.480 have boughtom a ticket to someplace nice, right, you know, 0:20:56.600 --> 0:21:01.000 for all the trouble he went to. It's about nine 0:21:01.080 --> 0:21:03.840 thirty pm. When they finally pull into the parking lot. 0:21:04.440 --> 0:21:05.880 David looks towards the terminal. 0:21:06.160 --> 0:21:09.280 It's strangely dark. I'm like, oh, crap. 0:21:11.560 --> 0:21:14.879 They drove to the airport in Columbia, South Carolina, and 0:21:14.920 --> 0:21:17.919 when they got there it was closed. They hadn't even 0:21:17.960 --> 0:21:20.360 bought a ticket. They still seventeen million dollars and had 0:21:20.359 --> 0:21:22.760 not bought a ticket to help him escape. 0:21:23.600 --> 0:21:25.200 That absolutely blew me away. 0:21:25.920 --> 0:21:29.240 So we get to the airport and the airport's closed. 0:21:29.800 --> 0:21:32.520 So I'm like, crap, what do we do now. I'm 0:21:32.520 --> 0:21:35.320 not driving him to another airport. I don't want him 0:21:35.320 --> 0:21:36.920 flying out as Charlotte. 0:21:37.160 --> 0:21:40.920 So, setting aside for a second the fact that Kelly 0:21:41.359 --> 0:21:44.760 never even checked whether or not the airport would be open, 0:21:45.560 --> 0:21:48.000 she really won't drive the man who just threw his 0:21:48.119 --> 0:21:52.840 life away for her to another airport. The closest one 0:21:52.840 --> 0:21:56.440 that's opened is the big international airport in Atlanta. It'll 0:21:56.440 --> 0:21:59.560 probably have dozens of flights to Mexico or anywhere else 0:21:59.600 --> 0:22:02.480 in the world. It's two hundred and forty miles away, 0:22:02.680 --> 0:22:05.720 a little more than three hours on quiet nighttime roads. 0:22:05.960 --> 0:22:09.000 I'm not driving to Atlanta. Are you crazy? I put 0:22:09.080 --> 0:22:11.240 him on a bus and he can drive to Atlanta 0:22:11.280 --> 0:22:13.880 and get him a plane. But I'm not driving to Atlanta. 0:22:14.480 --> 0:22:17.080 I'm disappointed, but I'm really too tired for it to 0:22:18.000 --> 0:22:21.960 sink in, and the adrenaline is starting to wear off. 0:22:22.000 --> 0:22:25.560 I'm getting, you know anyway. I know she needs to 0:22:25.560 --> 0:22:27.400 get back David. 0:22:27.680 --> 0:22:28.280 Jesus. 0:22:29.040 --> 0:22:31.200 I decide, well, I'll take you to a bus station. 0:22:31.600 --> 0:22:33.560 She takes me to the Greyhound office. 0:22:33.840 --> 0:22:36.320 In my mind, you know David was going to be fine. 0:22:36.480 --> 0:22:39.440 He had money with him, so I didn't have any 0:22:39.440 --> 0:22:42.199 worries that he would not reach his destination. 0:22:42.760 --> 0:22:45.040 Now I go, okay, I need to get to Atlanta 0:22:45.560 --> 0:22:49.320
