You cared about those characters, when in most 36 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: cases a lot of filmmakers would not have put in 37 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: the work to make you care about them. And that's 38 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,079 Speaker 1: the films would not have been a hit.

Oh my god, they sent my guys. 67 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: So let me introduce you to them. First. There's Brian Reader. 68 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 1: They call him the Governor. Yeah, I love it. This 69 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 1: is so guy Ritchie. He's seventy three years old. Time. 70 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: Don't laugh at that. I'm not laughing at the age. 71 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: I love. His first arrest was for breaking and entering 72 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: at the age of eleven. He did nine years in 73 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: prison for conspiracy to handle stolen goods after he and 74 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: another guy helped launder stolen gold, bullion and diamonds stolen 75 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 1: from a warehouse near Heathrow. Oh by the airport. Word. 76 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: So he's got, you know, credentials. He gets out of 77 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,600 Speaker 1: prison and then he moves into this like rundown mansion 78 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:47,039 Speaker 1: in Dartford, Kent, Dartford. That one word Dartford. It's Dartford 79 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: in in Kent, oh, Dartford in Stratford, and so Dartford 80 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,360 Speaker 1: is the town. And so he runs a used card 81 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: viewership out of his house. You know, do you know 82 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: who else is born in Dartford? No, Liam Gallagher, Keith 83 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:08,719 Speaker 1: Richards what, Yeah, it's sick Ground. Yeah. So the governor, 84 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 1: he's a bon vivante because he dresses all flashy and 85 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 1: he's got this dark criminal past. But he's living in 86 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: like a shabby sheek mansion in Kent, you know, twenty 87 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: seven miles outside of London. He's just like a fabulous character. 88 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 1: I like the Governor. Then there's Danny Jones. Danny's fifty 89 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,479 Speaker 1: seven at the time. He's like the spring Chicken. He's 90 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 1: also a lifetime criminal. He specializes in jewelry another stolen goods. 91 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 1: He's a total oddball. Well, yeah, because like one of 92 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 1: his little quirks is that he went to bed. He 93 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 1: went to sleep in his mother's dressing gown and a 94 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 1: fez at night. I was still hanging on mother's dressing gown. Try, 95 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: what's that picture like, and then he has to find 96 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,280 Speaker 1: his comfort zone is safe space. But he didn't really 97 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,279 Speaker 1: go to bed per se, because he slept right on 98 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 1: the floor, so he put on his mother's dress to 99 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 1: sleep on the floor. Danny Man, he he studied crime 100 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:15,280 Speaker 1: like a kid cramming for a forgotten bio exam. Did research, 101 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 1: he read books, he watched movies, he studied golden diamond prices, 102 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 1: and then he was also researching like which tools are 103 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,160 Speaker 1: the best for cutting through which material that happened to 104 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: be used to make a vault. So yeah, Danny, he's 105 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 1: going he's the young, studious one with a fez on. 106 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:39,600 Speaker 1: Then we have Kenny Collins.

It's kind of like 111 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: it's not like an American Staffordshire terrier, like a pit bull. 112 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: It's like a cross between an English bulldog and like 113 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,039 Speaker 1: an old English terrier. I'm kind of imagining more like 114 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: a pub dog kind of yeah, but like a little muscleman. Yeah, 115 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 1: exactly a little square but kind of like a muscle. 116 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 1: The dog's name is Dempsey, like the fighter.

So they're parked in this 164 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 1: pub you imagine, like Dempsey's at their feet, there's a 165 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 1: fire going, or they're up on the roof deck on 166 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 1: a lovely day, you know, enjoying a pint, and they're 167 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 1: like drawing like schematics on bar napkins or like totally sure, 168 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 1: and they had like I imagine they had like a 169 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:34,319 Speaker 1: chalkboard and would plot it out there and like drop 170 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 1: it over when people come by, exactly, or they would 171 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 1: pretend like it was like football as we say, soccer, 172 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:46,559 Speaker 1: like you know, diagrams of moves or what are set ups, 173 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 1: I don't know what you'd say, formations. And then yeah, 174 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 1: so they've got this whole thing. They have their eyes 175 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,440 Speaker 1: set on a place called Hatton Garden and I'm going 176 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 1: to get to that in a in a while, but 177 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: let's go back to them plotting. So you have these 178 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 1: four criminal masterminds who've got lifetimes of experience behind them, 179 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 1: and Basil, Basil, he's not up in there yet, like 180 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,679 Speaker 1: they're kind of keeping him outside of it, giving in 181 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 1: the information he needs, but he's like they're clutchy young 182 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,439 Speaker 1: guy that they're going to use. But so these guys 183 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:24,079 Speaker 1: take everything that they've learned about diamonds, about gold, about 184 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 1: breaking into places. Don't forget the governor had broken into 185 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 1: a warehouse outside a heathrow um. So they're taking all 186 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,599 Speaker 1: this and they've got their eyes on Hatton Garden. I 187 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 1: don't think, I don't hear them having is a fence 188 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 1: and you have to be able to get away with 189 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,199 Speaker 1: your crime. Well they do, yeah, they do. And those 190 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:46,200 Speaker 1: are the sort of the associated people. So let me 191 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,559 Speaker 1: tell you a little bit about Hatton Garden first. So 192 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:53,080 Speaker 1: it's this this like seven story building, sixty tenants, most 193 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 1: of them are jewelers. Um, but the basement is this 194 00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 1: room that's completely full of safe deposit boxes and in 195 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 1: those boxes gold jewelry. Jem, I don't think you would 196 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 1: know the answer to this. Why why so many bankers 197 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,200 Speaker 1: all living in the same building or jewelers all living 198 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 1: in the same building. I think it's like we have. 199 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 1: I think it's probably akin to like the Diamond District 200 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 1: somewhere where they're you know, they're all in the same 201 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 1: location and it's like a little market place. I don't know, 202 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 1: but yeah, so interesting. But the safe deposit boxes are 203 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 1: the key here, and that's what these guys are really 204 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: like focused on, and that's what they're plotting. So I'm 205 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 1: gonna walk you through how this all plays out, but 206 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:56,840 Speaker 1: let's take a quick break first. Alright, So we got 207 00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 1: our four dudes, the Governor, Terry, Ny and Danny Yes, 208 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 1: and they're all hanging out at the pub and they've 209 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 1: come up with this plan. So we jumped forward. It's Thursday, 210 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: April two. It also happens to be Holy Week, and 211 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,200 Speaker 1: that means the next day is both Good Friday and 212 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,439 Speaker 1: it's also the start of Passover. Do it up, double up? 213 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,680 Speaker 1: So they're locking everything up in that building and they're 214 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 1: heading out for a long Easter passover weekend. Brian Reader 215 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:30,079 Speaker 1: a k a. The Governor, he's prepping for his own 216 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 1: kind of religious holiday. At this point. He uses his 217 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 1: senior free travel pass. It's like a bus pass seniors, 218 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,559 Speaker 1: and he gets on a bus from his place out 219 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 1: in Kent and goes into London, like an hour and 220 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 1: a half journey, but you know it's free. Seniors fly free. 221 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 1: And the Governor meets up with Danny, Kenny, Terry, and 222 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 1: then this other guy named Carl Wood outside the building. 223 00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,319 Speaker 1: Carl is like a part time criminal, not a full 224 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 1: time pro like the other guys. Yeah, he's got one 225 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 1: foot in and they're like pulling him in. So the Governor, Danny, Terry, Kenny, Carl, Um, 226 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 1: they're all ready to go. They get all dressed up 227 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 1: as workers, hard hats, jumpsuits, reflective vests. They jump into 228 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 1: a white van that Kenny's driving, Kenny the diabetic, and 229 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 1: they pull up to the side entrance to the building. 230 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 1: Now they unload all their tools and stuff like that. Um. 231 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 1: Kenny goes across the street to an office building and 232 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 1: they've secured this location where he's going to be the 233 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 1: lookout and keep an eye on the scene, which is important. 234 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 1: You know, this is a big, big hei. Yeah, he's 235 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 1: taken it a little easy. The reason why he's the 236 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 1: lookout and not like down in there is because you know, 237 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 1: he has the sugar got the sugar diabetes and he's 238 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 1: got a touch of dementia. Oh this is not sounding 239 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 1: like a good lookout. Yeah, and so like the problem 240 00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 1: is he gets up to the post and then he 241 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 1: falls asleep up there's not a good lookout, Kenny. Kenny 242 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 1: has done hard, like a lot of good work in 243 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 1: his criminal career, but this is not it. You can 244 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 1: keep him back in the pad. You haven't count everything 245 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 1: when they get the roles. Think he could have just 246 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 1: been like the stenographer at those things and you know, 247 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 1: just maybe was their paperman. You know, I did a 248 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 1: counterfeiting so um basil. Remember him, he's already in the building. 249 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 1: He doesn't meet up with him outside because he's already 250 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 1: up in there. He has his own costume on, okay, 251 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 1: and it's not like a workerman costume. He's wearing a 252 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 1: red wig like Ronald McDonald or like Lucile Ball. I 253 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 1: don't know. I'm kind of thinking it's like a chucky 254 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 1: wig when I closed my eyes in magic and a 255 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 1: flat cap, like you know, he's seeing for a C 256 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 1: d C. And then a jumpsuit jumpsuit, like a work jumpsuit. Yeah, 257 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 1: but like we can also pretend that it's like an 258 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 1: urban outfitters, you know, fashion jumps Can I pretend it's 259 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 1: an evil can evil jumps with stripes and stars? Yes, 260 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 1: let's okay, that's our visual image. Hot. So he's disabled 261 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 1: the alarm system, disabled the cameras, but he forgets about 262 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 1: two CCTV cameras oops, ones on the fire exit that 263 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 1: they've been coming in and out of, and the others 264 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 1: on the second floor. O man, So mean, while he's 265 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 1: got this chucky wig on, their entrances and exits are 266 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 1: being filmed the whole time. Yeah, but don't worry, guys, 267 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 1: I disabled all the cameras exactly. So the other thing 268 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: they disabled is the elevator for a bunch of old 269 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 1: men to go downstairs. Well no, like it's like, I 270 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 1: guess they did it because they didn't want people sneaking 271 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 1: up on him down They accessed the basement vault by 272 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 1: like going through the shaft the elevator shaft, so they 273 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 1: got underneath the car and then dropped. I guess they 274 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 1: all like it's very Ocean's eleven there in like Matt 275 00:16:55,520 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 1: damon black jumpsuits and if don Cheedle fell asleep. So 276 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 1: they want to make sure that no one can sneak 277 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,719 Speaker 1: up on them. They get into the basement and they 278 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:10,119 Speaker 1: reach the airlock, you know, like kind of think it's 279 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 1: got like ahip, yeah, and maybe they're I don't know, 280 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,199 Speaker 1: there's a lot of stuff basement. So they cut the 281 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:22,879 Speaker 1: telephone cable and rip out like this GPS antenna and 282 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,480 Speaker 1: then they only but what they did only partially shut 283 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 1: down the security system, like it would have worked exactly exactly. 284 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 1: They're like whatever that antenna is for ham radio yankee down. 285 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:41,439 Speaker 1: They're like, no, I think that's important. So like the 286 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 1: alarm goes off because they like they cut the telephone wire, 287 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,159 Speaker 1: but like, guys, we use fiber optic cable and then 288 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,119 Speaker 1: everyone's going to call this one in and so like 289 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,439 Speaker 1: the alarm goes off. Head of security shows up, but 290 00:17:55,560 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 1: he doesn't see anything off. The four doors forced open, 291 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 1: there's nobody like huddled around the front sign of fourth entry. 292 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 1: So when the cops come and they're like, what's all 293 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 1: this then, and the head of Securities like nas a 294 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 1: false alarm. Now, one other thing I should mention is 295 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 1: that like a couple of days before this happened, this 296 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:17,159 Speaker 1: is on the fourth, on the second, Um, there was 297 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 1: a gas main break in the street. So it caused 298 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:23,359 Speaker 1: all this chaos. Reasonable, Yeah, and it was like good 299 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 1: cover for them, and it was totally unrelated. It's not 300 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,119 Speaker 1: like they sent Kenny down there to bang on it 301 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: with a pipe until it broke and then like stagger out. Um. No, 302 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:33,639 Speaker 1: they had nothing to do with it. But it was 303 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,120 Speaker 1: just like good timing. And so I think that's why 304 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,520 Speaker 1: the police were just thinking, like man, these alarms are 305 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 1: going off everything. This was fast and furious. Then Diesel 306 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,880 Speaker 1: would have him break the pipe exactly different, he would 307 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:49,119 Speaker 1: have chewed right through it underground. So everyone goes home 308 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 1: and goes to sleep security wise, Um, but the gang 309 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 1: at this point is still getting closer and closer getting 310 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 1: into the vault. Um. There's like a foot and half 311 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 1: of concrete between them and all the boxes in the fault. 312 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 1: They're going through the concrete, yeah, They're not like going 313 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 1: through the door. Yeah. And they're not trying to also 314 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:08,440 Speaker 1: get the door off. The hand is not trying to 315 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:14,359 Speaker 1: open the lock through the wall essentially, and so the 316 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 1: half Yeah, and like when you have to do that, 317 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,359 Speaker 1: what do you what do you use? Jack camera? No, 318 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:22,880 Speaker 1: it's so what you always carry on you that hill 319 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:28,879 Speaker 1: D D D three circular power drill exactly, Yeah, in 320 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 1: the holster at all times. And I got the carbon 321 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,680 Speaker 1: to change out and complete my diamonds completely. So that's 322 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 1: what they get out right, They two and a half 323 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:42,920 Speaker 1: hours later, they've drilled three overlapping circles. Okay, so they're 324 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 1: trying to dig, trying to give it the value that is, yeah, 325 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:49,880 Speaker 1: and that, but the whole was not really well placed. 326 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 1: They drilled into the back of this bolted down wall 327 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,680 Speaker 1: of safe deposit boxes and that blocked their entry. So 328 00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:59,680 Speaker 1: they thought they were just like going to drill these 329 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:01,920 Speaker 1: three holes that will make like a larger kind of 330 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 1: clover shape they can go through. And then yeah, and 331 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,920 Speaker 1: so I'm guessing they didn't have blueprints. Maybe Kenny had 332 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 1: them right. I Mean, the thing is is like, as 333 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:19,439 Speaker 1: I'm telling this, it's sounding worse and worse. Trust me. 334 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 1: These guys are these guys are crack criminals on crack criminals. 335 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 1: So you know, they're like they've hit this bolted down 336 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:30,719 Speaker 1: wall and they're like, oh my god, what I need 337 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 1: to do. Wait a second, blimey, but wait, we had 338 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,360 Speaker 1: we brought our hydraulic ram, you guys. Oh never mind, 339 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 1: problem solved, Yeah, no big. So they go to set 340 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 1: it up and the pump on the ram was broken. 341 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:48,359 Speaker 1: They didn't test their so they took a break, had 342 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 1: a cuppa. Yeah. So I guess this was like I 343 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,360 Speaker 1: don't know what day it is whatever, on that Friday. 344 00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 1: They left the building at like eight in the morning, 345 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 1: so this was over all night. Yea. Yeah, they're working 346 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 1: out it and like they're sweating through their undershirts and 347 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,359 Speaker 1: they're just down to like their topless if they folded 348 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,920 Speaker 1: down the jumpsuits, so they're wearing like their arms like 349 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 1: long grain nipple hairs. I was right there with you 350 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 1: till you said longer. They're all wearing chucky wigsture. Never mind. 351 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:24,920 Speaker 1: I know we're getting further and further away from the truth. 352 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 1: I need to bring us back in. So Danny woke 353 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:34,920 Speaker 1: Kenny up and was like, we gotta the pumps. The 354 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,679 Speaker 1: we need a new pump because the ram's broken, so 355 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 1: they go off to being Q and buy a new 356 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:45,879 Speaker 1: ram pump um. The governor he's like, all right, so 357 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 1: we've been in here overnight and it's all screwed up. 358 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,480 Speaker 1: And if we go back in because they left to 359 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:54,720 Speaker 1: like figure out, Okay, how are we going to do this? 360 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:57,680 Speaker 1: Governors like, you know what, we go back in there, 361 00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:01,879 Speaker 1: we're caught. I don't want to do that, because he's like, 362 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 1: we we already successfully got in and out, but we 363 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,440 Speaker 1: didn't get what we wanted. But if we go back 364 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:07,920 Speaker 1: in and try and do this again, they're going to 365 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,199 Speaker 1: catch us. So he takes off, he gets on the 366 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 1: train and he goes home. Okay, that's your team leader. Nope, 367 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:18,199 Speaker 1: Dawn out of there, that's leader the governor. I'm picturing 368 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 1: George Cline going I'm taking my senior bus ticket and 369 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:22,880 Speaker 1: going hotly. I was like, yeah, you know what, I'm 370 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,159 Speaker 1: I'm getting too old for this. So the rest of 371 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:30,399 Speaker 1: the game come back the next day, Saturday. It's ten pm. 372 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 1: You know, they're doing the night shift on it. But 373 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 1: don't forget, it's this long holiday weekend.

Like they thought it was 380 00:22:57,880 --> 00:22:59,640 Speaker 1: just going to be open. They're like, we don't lock 381 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:01,480 Speaker 1: it behind you. We're going we gotta run down and 382 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,239 Speaker 1: get a new pump, but don't lock it. Yeah, they 383 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,960 Speaker 1: lot a brick to hold it open. Carl at this 384 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,199 Speaker 1: point Carl would also he's like the roadie. He's like, 385 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: I've had enough, I'm out of here. He takes off, 386 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:20,399 Speaker 1: so they're down to three plus Basil. That leaves Danny, Kenny, 387 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 1: Terry and Basil and Ronnie, Bobby, Rickey and Mike urging 388 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 1: you to cool it down. Basil is able to get 389 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,200 Speaker 1: them in the building again. He's like, I did it before, 390 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 1: you guys. Give me a moment. I've been watching YouTube 391 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 1: block picking videos, you know, I like to recycle jewelry 392 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 1: or whatever it is. He does. Okay, so he gets 393 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:49,640 Speaker 1: the building open again and they get in there. Kenny, 394 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 1: what's Kenny do? He goes back across the street to 395 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 1: act as lookout falls asleep again. Um, but they have 396 00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 1: all these cool new tools. They're ready to go, and 397 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 1: they're able to pry the boxes out of the way 398 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,960 Speaker 1: and get into the vault. They moved that whole wall. 399 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 1: Good on them. Um. They originally wanted to spend three 400 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 1: days in the vault over the week someone else I 401 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:20,119 Speaker 1: know that weekend rock. There are nine safe deposit boxes 402 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 1: in that vault, and they thought, Okay, we're going to 403 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,920 Speaker 1: spend three days in here, let's just take them all. 404 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 1: But now they have one night, and so they figured, okay, 405 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 1: let's get like seventy three of them. I don't know 406 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:32,919 Speaker 1: how they come up with that number. I think they 407 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:34,639 Speaker 1: probably just looked at a section of the wall and 408 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 1: we're like these, um, maybe the biggest boxes they could find. Interesting. 409 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: That's how I would do it, But I'm not them, 410 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,720 Speaker 1: and I don't have a diminutive name. Tease. So they 411 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 1: finish up on Monday morning, super early. They wheel everything 412 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:52,359 Speaker 1: out of the building, tools, the loot everything in large 413 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:56,920 Speaker 1: garbage cans. It's convenient. You know, people are going to 414 00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 1: look twice as I'm a pushing garbage exactly, and and 415 00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:02,439 Speaker 1: they you see like these, you know, older gentlemen and 416 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:06,879 Speaker 1: like the work clothes. They're like, yeah, they've never got 417 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 1: the weekend. So Kenny wakes up decides to drive home 418 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,919 Speaker 1: in the White Key. Now Kenny, by the way, he 419 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,400 Speaker 1: doesn't want to drive alone on this one. And he's 420 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:24,199 Speaker 1: there with an associate of his name, William Billy the 421 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,480 Speaker 1: Fish Lincoln the Fish. And you know there's a great 422 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,680 Speaker 1: story behind that nickname. Yeah, you know what a great 423 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,400 Speaker 1: story is. This is like you're gonna it'll blow your mind. 424 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 1: Why they call him Billy the Fish because he hangs 425 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:38,359 Speaker 1: out at fish markets on Friday. So when I said 426 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:46,120 Speaker 1: a great story, maybe I should take that back the dumbest. 427 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 1: So Billy the Fish is also the brother of Kenny's 428 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:55,639 Speaker 1: girlfriends slash life partner, so he's like, this kind of 429 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,639 Speaker 1: has to get the family involved. He's like, you know 430 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 1: what you got going on there, Kenny, And he's like, oh, man, 431 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,679 Speaker 1: Billy stink all right, you know, because don't forget what 432 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 1: are we Monday? Now he's he's been sitting at the 433 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:09,639 Speaker 1: fish market. Um. Billy the Fish, though, is a career criminal. 434 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,680 Speaker 1: He's not just a guy who frequents fish markets um. 435 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 1: But he also like the rest of the gang has 436 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 1: some medical ailments. Um, they include incontinence, and he also 437 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 1: has had a recent double hip replacement. This is your 438 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,600 Speaker 1: escape team. Okay, Yeah, So they're driving. He's riding with Kenny, 439 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:32,120 Speaker 1: who's falling asleep. It's riding with the King. They all 440 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,760 Speaker 1: go to their respective places. They divide up the loop 441 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 1: and um, even the ones who bailed out on the 442 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:42,160 Speaker 1: second attempt, the Governor Carl, they get They get their 443 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,440 Speaker 1: share because you know, they did some heavy lifting, they 444 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 1: just didn't finish it out. And if you don't pay 445 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:49,680 Speaker 1: them to flip on you exactly or worse. And so 446 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:54,200 Speaker 1: April seventh, Tuesday morning, everyone's finally coming back to work. 447 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,680 Speaker 1: They're like, oh, how is your weekend? It was so good? 448 00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:59,720 Speaker 1: And then they're like zolys. They walk into the vaul. 449 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:06,679 Speaker 1: Jesus just it's just chaos in the vault. They're like, they, 450 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:14,200 Speaker 1: I think they probably went in continent themselves when I 451 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:18,360 Speaker 1: was continent and I am no longer. So they called 452 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:22,439 Speaker 1: the cops, obviously, and the question is will these guys 453 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 1: get away with it? I'm gonna go, well, it's unlikely 454 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 1: that they'll get away with it. If we're talking about it, 455 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:32,119 Speaker 1: so that that's your big my first clue. I know, 456 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 1: Colombo over here, I put that together. Let's stop for 457 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:39,199 Speaker 1: a moment, Let's revel in the gray panther power of 458 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 1: this gang. And when we come back, I'm going to 459 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,959 Speaker 1: fill you in on the aftermath of this ridiculous caper. 460 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 1: Now we're talking about seventy three empty safe deposit box. 461 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:13,840 Speaker 1: That is a lot of angry jewelers. Well, and the 462 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:17,400 Speaker 1: thing is, these guys to the jewelers aren't really eager 463 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 1: to detail what was in the boxes because they're jewelers 464 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:24,439 Speaker 1: and they're inherently kind of thinky yeah so like, and 465 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,440 Speaker 1: the thing is, like they could be avoiding like one 466 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:31,240 Speaker 1: of of three things, right or three of who knows. 467 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 1: They're avoiding the revenuers, are avoiding paying taxes, they're avoiding 468 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:42,400 Speaker 1: the cops because some of it, yeah, And they're avoiding 469 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,560 Speaker 1: spouses because what happens. They want to be able to 470 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 1: have well, and some of them have like some stuff 471 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 1: that maybe they're giving to boyfriends exactly side pieces. And 472 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 1: then also you just wanted you don't want your partner 473 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,880 Speaker 1: necessarily if you are a dirty jeweler, to know how dirty. 474 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 1: So if they do ever like roll on you. They 475 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:02,400 Speaker 1: can't just go and get it all. You got to 476 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,400 Speaker 1: hide some instead of the thing. They'll roll on you 477 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 1: if they if they want to protect their spouse from 478 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:14,160 Speaker 1: knowing too much, maybe they're not so suspicious criminal And 479 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 1: I like that. That's really nice. I would have never 480 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,880 Speaker 1: thought they wanted to like, no, please give me plausible 481 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 1: deniability exactly. Well, that's how I think these jewelers are 482 00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:26,080 Speaker 1: like that. But they have like Okay, at first, the 483 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,640 Speaker 1: like initial estimate thrown out there was like three million 484 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 1: pounds worth of stuff. Whoa right, that's a lot pounds 485 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:37,880 Speaker 1: sterling not wait what yeah, one of the biggest British Yeah, 486 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 1: but that was wildly exaggerated. And when they had to 487 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,680 Speaker 1: actually go through and do the general tally, it was 488 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 1: still fourteen million pounds A. Yeah. Well, because I'm sure 489 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,120 Speaker 1: that some of the some of the jewelers must have 490 00:29:53,120 --> 00:30:00,160 Speaker 1: been like I had yeah, like, can you prove up 491 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 1: to that? No, no, no, you have to trust me. 492 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 1: He was there. I've got pictures. So it comes out 493 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:09,880 Speaker 1: to about fourteen million pounds in cash, jewelry, gold, valuables. 494 00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 1: Now what do you think. I don't know what the 495 00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,040 Speaker 1: valuables were, But what would they candle laubras? What do 496 00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,080 Speaker 1: they got up in there that would be valuable? I 497 00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:20,120 Speaker 1: don't know. Gold crusted shoehorns, yes, you know, for slipping 498 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 1: on your your shoes you're satin slippers. I honestly don't 499 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 1: know what they I don't know when they say valuables, 500 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,800 Speaker 1: I'm thinking, like, what do they mean? Silver music stands? 501 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:33,680 Speaker 1: I get music boxes. They all get really melancholy and 502 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 1: wistful when they open it up and they stare off 503 00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 1: into space and they do you remember, Amanda, Yeah, what 504 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:40,240 Speaker 1: do old British people want to play? Like? What are 505 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 1: their chants? Like? What would they play? Do you remember 506 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:44,240 Speaker 1: any of the pub songs that they would be like bumping? 507 00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 1: It's like, oh, this reminds me of what I can 508 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:50,360 Speaker 1: remember when I when I lived in Scotland. Um, I 509 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,400 Speaker 1: would hear people singing a lot on their way home 510 00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:55,280 Speaker 1: from the people saying in pots and stuff like if 511 00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,720 Speaker 1: nine to five comes on the jukebox, people lose it. 512 00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:01,760 Speaker 1: I love it the coolest. But I'll tell you what, 513 00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:04,080 Speaker 1: I think that the biggest hit that I ever heard, 514 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:08,800 Speaker 1: um don't look back in anger by God? I heard 515 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:12,160 Speaker 1: that drunkenly catterwaled so many times I can hear the 516 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:16,440 Speaker 1: crousers now. So they have music boxes that played don't 517 00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:22,040 Speaker 1: Look back in gold Encrusted. They've like repurposed Faberge eggs 518 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:25,040 Speaker 1: that when you open it, but it plays like it 519 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,440 Speaker 1: has like a little chip that plays the MIDI version 520 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:31,640 Speaker 1: of it. Yeah, that's that's basically what the value. Personally, 521 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:33,920 Speaker 1: I would have a fabric egg played wonder but that's 522 00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:36,240 Speaker 1: just it's just you this there's a little song called 523 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:39,880 Speaker 1: wonder Wall. The cops, of course, getting back to the heist, 524 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,480 Speaker 1: the cops think it's a total inside job. Does it 525 00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:46,400 Speaker 1: makes sense we would know all these three jewelers, I'm 526 00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 1: telling you the cops now, the cops. Now. The public 527 00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 1: really excited about this, and the public is like, you 528 00:31:54,840 --> 00:32:00,160 Speaker 1: know what International Crime Keeper solved? Done international? And there 529 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:03,440 Speaker 1: were suggestions that it was work of the Balkans based 530 00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:08,320 Speaker 1: Pink Panther gang. Oh they are awesome right so close 531 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:13,160 Speaker 1: it was the Great Panthers know only one color. The 532 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:15,920 Speaker 1: tabloids were kind of stoking the idea that there was 533 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:20,400 Speaker 1: an Ocean's eleven scenario. They figured that they most certainly 534 00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:25,400 Speaker 1: used a contortionist at some point, A lot of them 535 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:27,680 Speaker 1: has to be. I've seen how how this plays out 536 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:31,880 Speaker 1: in the movies Pportionist. They need a Americans and movie 537 00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:35,120 Speaker 1: star was always eating um, and they need possibly a 538 00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:38,320 Speaker 1: bad British actor. Yes, all all of them. They I'm 539 00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:40,480 Speaker 1: sure they had like composites drawn out and it was 540 00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:43,560 Speaker 1: just the cast. It was just the like movie poster, 541 00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:48,800 Speaker 1: not just Scott call and they arrested Scott can back 542 00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,479 Speaker 1: point and he's like, I've been in l A this 543 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:53,880 Speaker 1: whole time. Um. There were a lot of people who 544 00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,160 Speaker 1: thought it was like not the Pink Panther gang, but 545 00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:59,760 Speaker 1: like an elite, elite correct team of thieves from either 546 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:03,760 Speaker 1: stern Europe or Israel. About this often they open throw 547 00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:05,960 Speaker 1: that out there, like, oh, some some oligarch got robbed 548 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:12,680 Speaker 1: exactly exactly. That was a good theory. Well, so the 549 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:16,880 Speaker 1: world famous London Metropolitan Police Flying Squad was called in. 550 00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,840 Speaker 1: I'm sorry that just always sounds like a money python bit, right. 551 00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:23,520 Speaker 1: You know, they handle all the organized crime stuff, the 552 00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:25,280 Speaker 1: big robberies. You know, we're going to meet him a 553 00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:27,880 Speaker 1: lot in this podcast. We probably will. And the flying 554 00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,760 Speaker 1: is because they're the catch all. They go everywhere, right, Yeah, 555 00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 1: they go everywhere. But also it's because they had cars 556 00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:36,680 Speaker 1: I think before other units they like fly down the 557 00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:40,280 Speaker 1: street running over pedestrians, so they're not like flying nuns, 558 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:44,120 Speaker 1: though they also had the power of flight themselves, as 559 00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:47,200 Speaker 1: God granted them. Um, do you remember those two CCTV 560 00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:51,000 Speaker 1: cameras at Basil, miss? How could I forget them? On 561 00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:55,120 Speaker 1: those where a footage of a Mercedes E two hundred 562 00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:58,320 Speaker 1: driving off as a white Mercedes with a black roof 563 00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:01,880 Speaker 1: and like alloy rims fly flashy number, probably easy to 564 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:05,760 Speaker 1: pick up. Whose car do you think that was Governor's girlfriend? Kenny? 565 00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:13,759 Speaker 1: Kenny Kenny? Because Kenny his own car and steal a 566 00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,160 Speaker 1: car bro if, he like brought his car and parked 567 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:18,239 Speaker 1: it there and then they did their heist and he 568 00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,399 Speaker 1: drove everyone home in the van and then he must 569 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:23,919 Speaker 1: have like ditched the van and caught a taxi. I'm like, yeah, 570 00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:26,360 Speaker 1: just dropped me over by the by that Mercedes and 571 00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:29,759 Speaker 1: he's like drifting off in the back of a cab. Um. 572 00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:32,480 Speaker 1: You know he drove there and back in his own 573 00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:37,520 Speaker 1: car because he's Kenny. Um. There's footage not only of 574 00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,920 Speaker 1: the Mercedes, there's footage of Basil walking away from the 575 00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:46,239 Speaker 1: scene with a large bag over his shoulder. I don't 576 00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:48,160 Speaker 1: know if it had a huge dollar sign or like 577 00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:51,440 Speaker 1: a bound sign on. It was wearing stripes in a burglars. 578 00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:54,040 Speaker 1: He had the burglar mask on and he was tiptoe 579 00:34:55,200 --> 00:35:00,359 Speaker 1: yeah and snickering. That was on the CCTV to it age. 580 00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:03,279 Speaker 1: So the cops are like, all right, these guys, and 581 00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:08,239 Speaker 1: they tail them for days. Um, they gather enough like 582 00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:11,640 Speaker 1: so that they can bug the Mercedes, they bug another car. 583 00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:14,400 Speaker 1: They're tailing these guys. They know exactly where they are. 584 00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:17,000 Speaker 1: They film them going about their business, you know, popping 585 00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:21,200 Speaker 1: out for points, strolls in the park, going to Sainsbury's 586 00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:27,640 Speaker 1: and buying custard Sundry's I don't know, Uh, going to Greg's, 587 00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:33,400 Speaker 1: the baker. Um that they're talking the entire time for 588 00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:37,880 Speaker 1: more batteries for their hearing it exactly exactly every little counts, 589 00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:40,640 Speaker 1: So they're talking the whole time. They won't shut up 590 00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,920 Speaker 1: about this. Uh, they're bragging about how they did it 591 00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:47,960 Speaker 1: to like anyone who will listen to the victory lap 592 00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:52,200 Speaker 1: on now like this is if I did it. They're 593 00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:55,160 Speaker 1: talking about what they took, how they're going to move 594 00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:58,759 Speaker 1: this stuff. Who's gonna fence, like how what are they 595 00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:00,600 Speaker 1: going to spend their money on? One? Guys like I'm 596 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:04,080 Speaker 1: going to put it towards my pension um. Basically, they 597 00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:09,960 Speaker 1: just keep repeatedly incriminating them everyone. Here is my absolute 598 00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:14,480 Speaker 1: favorite part. So they're speaking in like a thick Eastender 599 00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:19,000 Speaker 1: London dialect, like their accent, and they're using Cockney rhyming slang. 600 00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:23,640 Speaker 1: My god, I love Cockney rhyming slang. It is absolutely 601 00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:26,279 Speaker 1: the best, and I think Richie does a pretty good 602 00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:28,399 Speaker 1: job of getting it to the American audience. How how 603 00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:30,959 Speaker 1: fun and how common it is. Like basically they're going 604 00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:33,080 Speaker 1: out of their way to say more in order to 605 00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:37,719 Speaker 1: convey less. So they're rhyming two word phrases, combinations or 606 00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:41,080 Speaker 1: whatever to use you know, standard for something mundane. Like 607 00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,880 Speaker 1: an example would be if I say apples and pears, 608 00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:47,279 Speaker 1: I mean stairs because it rhyme. Yeah, so instead of 609 00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:49,400 Speaker 1: saying I walked up the stairs, I walked up the 610 00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:52,960 Speaker 1: apples and pears. What do you um? Or if you 611 00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:56,279 Speaker 1: say barney rubble, it means trouble, trouble one yeah, Okay, 612 00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:57,640 Speaker 1: let me give you a couple of these. You tell 613 00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:00,600 Speaker 1: me if you know what they mean. Bees and honey, 614 00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:06,680 Speaker 1: I'm going with money. Yes, lady, good diver over. I 615 00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:09,080 Speaker 1: don't know a good diver. I got to think in 616 00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:13,360 Speaker 1: an accent lady could diver? I can't think of it. 617 00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:24,000 Speaker 1: Fiver forget that Irish pig a cop oh sorry, rhymrish pig, 618 00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:29,360 Speaker 1: a jig, a wig like a chucky fright wig. Sweeney 619 00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:36,640 Speaker 1: todd Um Hot bod close, that's like so eighties and 620 00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:39,840 Speaker 1: anyone says like hot bod. I'm imagining like a lady 621 00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:42,680 Speaker 1: in like one of those bathing suits from the eighties 622 00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:45,440 Speaker 1: where the leg the leg hole goes with it like 623 00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:49,680 Speaker 1: string tops. That's all sort of like lcro, like shimmery 624 00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:53,480 Speaker 1: hot bod. I've been watching old Magna Pas lately and 625 00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:56,279 Speaker 1: I have to say that some of those outfit combinations 626 00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:58,200 Speaker 1: that women would wear in the eighties were like the 627 00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:01,239 Speaker 1: neon or the neaprene, Like it's about the fabric and 628 00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:03,520 Speaker 1: the color. And then I'm like, that's wild. And then 629 00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:05,759 Speaker 1: all of a sudden TC comes by and he's got 630 00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:08,440 Speaker 1: on pants so tight you would think he was pimping. 631 00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:14,000 Speaker 1: And there's short short rightly manu p is like he 632 00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:17,800 Speaker 1: was throwing out the bottom. Yes exactly. He had some plums. 633 00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:21,319 Speaker 1: I didn't realize, like you know, watching them now is 634 00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:24,080 Speaker 1: like a lot of my fashion choices came from this show, 635 00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:28,040 Speaker 1: and I'm really questioning them. I like, how I'm convinced 636 00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:30,960 Speaker 1: you were short shorts and you don't even short. I 637 00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:34,560 Speaker 1: owned one pair of shorts and they aren't short shorts. Well, 638 00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:37,200 Speaker 1: you know, maybe someone will break in and cut cut 639 00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:41,320 Speaker 1: your pants. Yeah, we'll find out, you tell me. Anyway, 640 00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:45,040 Speaker 1: Sweeney Todd does not mean hot bud okay, fair enough. 641 00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:50,560 Speaker 1: It means flying squad. Oh right. I could have probably 642 00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:53,879 Speaker 1: been to get pitched by the Sweeney Todd. So these danglings, 643 00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:56,719 Speaker 1: one of them were an Irish pig to lift some 644 00:38:57,120 --> 00:39:00,880 Speaker 1: tomfoolery at the school jewel. There you go, and you 645 00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:04,479 Speaker 1: got pinched by the Sweeney Todd flying squads. So good, 646 00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:09,359 Speaker 1: the hot bods flying spot. The cops had to translate 647 00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:14,080 Speaker 1: the transcripts. This is what I love. So they're all 648 00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:17,560 Speaker 1: talking in this like you know, gobblede cook. And then 649 00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:19,919 Speaker 1: they have to write out the transcripts because you can't 650 00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:21,840 Speaker 1: just go to court and me like, well, they said, 651 00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:25,160 Speaker 1: they you know we're gonna wear a Irish pig. No, 652 00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:28,520 Speaker 1: so it all has written out and it took them. 653 00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:31,879 Speaker 1: It was a really difficult task to bring it from 654 00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:35,720 Speaker 1: Cockney into the Queen's English. And there are people involved. 655 00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,120 Speaker 1: There's a lawyer involved who compared it to work done 656 00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:43,160 Speaker 1: by Shakespearean scholars. It was the time investment you had 657 00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:48,360 Speaker 1: to have specialized. In the middle of all this rhyming slang, 658 00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:52,040 Speaker 1: they mentioned someone named Basil and they're just like that 659 00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:55,040 Speaker 1: is that? Yeah? And they're like, is this reference to 660 00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:59,000 Speaker 1: Basil Towers from Alti Towers or Dazzle from gem and 661 00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:03,080 Speaker 1: the Holograms? Was Gem in on? This is all of 662 00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:06,560 Speaker 1: this animated and not real anything. They're really questioning their 663 00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:10,640 Speaker 1: own existence at this point. So a month and a 664 00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:17,440 Speaker 1: half after you know, all of this, may the police 665 00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:20,560 Speaker 1: raid the homes and the known locations of the gang, 666 00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:24,480 Speaker 1: and you know, they then also couldn't keep their traps 667 00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:28,839 Speaker 1: shut and immediately start talking. Being under police, the cops 668 00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:30,080 Speaker 1: hall of them in they're like, all right, I'll tell 669 00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:32,480 Speaker 1: you everything. What do you want to know? So Danny, 670 00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:35,759 Speaker 1: Kenny and Terry they're caught at Terry's daughter's house just 671 00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:39,320 Speaker 1: you know, hanging out around a smelter in the dining room, 672 00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:42,719 Speaker 1: melting down millions of dollars worth of precious metals in 673 00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:46,320 Speaker 1: a dining room. They haven't on the table smoking. Chemicals 674 00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:50,759 Speaker 1: are releasing, but you know you're just chilling, melting down, 675 00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:54,080 Speaker 1: melting down gold. You have to repaint those walls. The 676 00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:57,960 Speaker 1: governor has busted at home. He wasn't there. Um. They 677 00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:01,600 Speaker 1: found lots of diamond related and eminating items though. At 678 00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:05,000 Speaker 1: the governor's place, a diamond tester was that like a 679 00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:08,279 Speaker 1: person from Calabasas, California. There's a little guy in a 680 00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:10,560 Speaker 1: cage that they make him know it said, like, I 681 00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:13,640 Speaker 1: don't know, you just test it. Like testing it's gonna 682 00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:16,719 Speaker 1: be the hardness kid a diamond gauge, so you can 683 00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:19,040 Speaker 1: get like the size of it. I suppose I don't. 684 00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:23,280 Speaker 1: I know nothing about diamonds. Diamond magazines, Oh yes, of course, 685 00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:27,960 Speaker 1: like Diamond Fancy, the sister publication of Cat Fancy Now, 686 00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:32,440 Speaker 1: and then a book on diamond crime, like the Underworld 687 00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:36,640 Speaker 1: of the Diamond Business. But here's another one of my 688 00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:42,800 Speaker 1: favorite details. At Danny's house, Danny, they find a book 689 00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:47,439 Speaker 1: that's called Forensics for Dummies, which I now, I really 690 00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:49,799 Speaker 1: need a copy of Forensics for Dummies. I'm just gonna 691 00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:54,440 Speaker 1: leave laying around, um, lying around, I should say, plus 692 00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:57,480 Speaker 1: they found face masks, a drill in cash. But mainly 693 00:41:57,520 --> 00:41:59,759 Speaker 1: it's the forensics for dummies. I love that there is 694 00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:02,440 Speaker 1: a called forensics for dumn Like is that for dummy 695 00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:04,279 Speaker 1: cops or for people who are like Danny trying to 696 00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:10,240 Speaker 1: get over? Is it like for the slow criminal justice 697 00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:17,960 Speaker 1: students there is? Or why not both? So in twenty September, 698 00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:21,920 Speaker 1: the four original Gangsters um they admit to the charge 699 00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:25,239 Speaker 1: of conspiracy to burgle, which is like, doesn't seem like 700 00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:28,200 Speaker 1: a big charge for what they've done, but you know, 701 00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:30,240 Speaker 1: I don't know what what it carries. I don't know either. 702 00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:33,399 Speaker 1: So Danny says he wants to come clean. He's got 703 00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:35,600 Speaker 1: his forensics for dummies. He's like, look, I just gotta 704 00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:37,680 Speaker 1: be honest. I'm gonna tell you where I stashed the loot? 705 00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:41,960 Speaker 1: Does he call it a boot the booty the give 706 00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:47,040 Speaker 1: a hit. He takes him to Edmondson Cemetery and he's 707 00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:49,759 Speaker 1: hidden like his little bag of getty's under a gravestone 708 00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:54,000 Speaker 1: of a family member, you know, thinking like he shows 709 00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:56,239 Speaker 1: them and he takes the cops and he's like, all right, 710 00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:59,600 Speaker 1: here's my here's my cut of it. And the cops though, 711 00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:03,000 Speaker 1: they had a question like why so you led us 712 00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:05,280 Speaker 1: to this and you say this is everything you got, 713 00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:07,520 Speaker 1: because like, did you know that a couple of days 714 00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:11,640 Speaker 1: ago we found a huge bag of similar loot about 715 00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:15,319 Speaker 1: sixty ft away from where we're standing now. So they 716 00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:19,160 Speaker 1: had already tagged him going to the cemetery before, and 717 00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:20,880 Speaker 1: they're like, well, let's check it out, and they find 718 00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:23,440 Speaker 1: like the big bag with a dollar sign on it. 719 00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:25,400 Speaker 1: Can you imagine his face when they told him that 720 00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:30,279 Speaker 1: they found the rest of this, So he's like, I 721 00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:34,760 Speaker 1: don't know anything about that, Okay, whatever. Danny Um. November, 722 00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:41,560 Speaker 1: the cops finally identify Basil Michael Seed and then the 723 00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:47,360 Speaker 1: next year, in March, Danny Kenny Teddy each sentence to 724 00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:52,560 Speaker 1: seven years the governor Brian Reader. He is like, he's 725 00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:55,240 Speaker 1: had two strokes, he's too sick to go to the hearing. 726 00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:59,160 Speaker 1: He gets six years, three months, so they really didn't 727 00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:01,799 Speaker 1: shave much off for leaving the scene and also for 728 00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:06,720 Speaker 1: being ill um. Two years later, Teddy dies in prison 729 00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:11,840 Speaker 1: at the age of sixty nine. Teddy or Terry Terry 730 00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:15,360 Speaker 1: Teddy Perkins is the Atlanta creepy character. Yeah, that's what 731 00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:18,040 Speaker 1: I was wondering, Yeah, it keeps sleeping into my consciousness. 732 00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:22,799 Speaker 1: Terry Terry. There's too many, too many diminutive Teddy Terry 733 00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:31,080 Speaker 1: Kenny Kenny the governor. He's released early obviously because of 734 00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:33,000 Speaker 1: his poor health, and he only served half of his 735 00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:37,879 Speaker 1: term to three years and change, as they say, March. 736 00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:42,000 Speaker 1: So a couple of months later, the police finally find 737 00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:45,560 Speaker 1: Basil's apartment and they rate it and they find just 738 00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:50,719 Speaker 1: under about two hundred thousand American dollars worth. It's like 739 00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:57,360 Speaker 1: dressing gowns. Uh. They find like two k gold gems 740 00:44:57,440 --> 00:45:00,680 Speaker 1: jewelry from the robbery in his flat. Um. They also 741 00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:03,880 Speaker 1: he has a bedroom workbench where he'd been melting down gold. 742 00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:07,440 Speaker 1: They're all inhaling these fumes because they don't care piecing 743 00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:10,200 Speaker 1: out the jewelry. Um. He said he had a jewelry business, 744 00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:17,120 Speaker 1: but there was no this is my business. How's Danny 745 00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:21,560 Speaker 1: Jones doing well? Augusten, He's sentenced to an additional six 746 00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:23,839 Speaker 1: and a half years because he hadn't paid anything back 747 00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:26,560 Speaker 1: yet six million pounds, so he just kept it and 748 00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:28,080 Speaker 1: said I'll do the time. He's like, I'll get it 749 00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:30,240 Speaker 1: to you later. And then they were like, where is it. Okay, 750 00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:34,120 Speaker 1: you have to go back in take another six Kenny Collins, 751 00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:37,279 Speaker 1: same thing. He doesn't pay it seven million pounds that 752 00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:39,359 Speaker 1: he stole, so he gets another six and a half. 753 00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:41,520 Speaker 1: So they get released after six years and have to 754 00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:43,960 Speaker 1: go back and do another y. Yeah, well no it 755 00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:46,239 Speaker 1: wasn't six full years after that, but it's you know, 756 00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:48,480 Speaker 1: it's like half their time. They get it tacked on 757 00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:53,040 Speaker 1: and so Basil he gets convicted of conspiracy to burgle 758 00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:58,000 Speaker 1: and money laundering. Ten years for Basil, I don't know, 759 00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:01,719 Speaker 1: God only anti fez hate. The governor didn't pay his 760 00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:03,879 Speaker 1: money back either, but they didn't give him more time 761 00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:06,560 Speaker 1: because his health was so bad, and they allowed him 762 00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:09,360 Speaker 1: to stay at home in the shabby Sheek mansion instead 763 00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:12,520 Speaker 1: of going back to finish his time. Most of this 764 00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:16,520 Speaker 1: loot has never been recovered. Only okay, so I remember 765 00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:18,080 Speaker 1: it was like a little It was a little over 766 00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:21,720 Speaker 1: thirteen million pounds. Only four and a half million pounds 767 00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:24,719 Speaker 1: has been accounted for. Nice, Yeah, they got away with that, 768 00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:27,920 Speaker 1: but not well, he still got away with it. So 769 00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:34,000 Speaker 1: what's your ridiculous takeaway here? My ridiculous takeaway is Basil 770 00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:37,960 Speaker 1: should have been running the job. It seems like he 771 00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:40,440 Speaker 1: really had it all together. The governor is a quitter. 772 00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:44,080 Speaker 1: Kenny was a terrible choice, but Basil, I trust a 773 00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:48,240 Speaker 1: man who sleeps in a face. Yeah right, um, I agree. 774 00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:52,839 Speaker 1: In my my takeaway, keep your mouth shut, do a dime, 775 00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:58,880 Speaker 1: keep your keep your mouth shut alright. So, uh that 776 00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:01,799 Speaker 1: that's all I have for you to day. I like 777 00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:04,319 Speaker 1: the Old Man Crime Gang. Yeah, it's good.
