WEBVTT - Geriatric Ocean’s Eleven: The Hatton Garden Heist

0:00:00.600 --> 0:00:04.040
<v Speaker 1>Ridiculous crime is a production of My Heart Radio Zaren

0:00:04.720 --> 0:00:08.480
<v Speaker 1>you know it's ridiculous. Yes, I do that. Bananas are

0:00:08.520 --> 0:00:13.640
<v Speaker 1>a good source of anti matter. There potassium and anti

0:00:14.120 --> 0:00:15.960
<v Speaker 1>That's where you actually get the anti matter is from

0:00:16.000 --> 0:00:19.960
<v Speaker 1>the potassium. The potassium gives off positrons, and the positrons

0:00:20.079 --> 0:00:22.440
<v Speaker 1>qualify as anti matter. So when you eat a banana,

0:00:22.600 --> 0:00:26.159
<v Speaker 1>you're also eating anti matter. That's totally ridiculous. Yeah, I

0:00:26.200 --> 0:00:28.080
<v Speaker 1>like that one. I knew that you would like that

0:00:28.120 --> 0:00:32.120
<v Speaker 1>one because I heard it coming out of your I

0:00:32.159 --> 0:00:34.640
<v Speaker 1>can tell you another one. Okay, hit me already, Ellen

<v Speaker 1>and she's doing her whole bit about him not being

0:00:41.159 --> 0:00:42.920
<v Speaker 1>a good director on her set and she's just you know,

0:00:42.960 --> 0:00:45.640
<v Speaker 1>craze anatomy. That to me was ridiculous. Yeah, that is

0:00:45.760 --> 0:00:50.519
<v Speaker 1>ridiculous anti matter. And it's her name again, Ellen Pompeo.

0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:54.960
<v Speaker 1>It was like twenty seconds ago Anti Pompeo, Anti anti

0:00:55.000 --> 0:00:58.000
<v Speaker 1>matter Pompeo. Okay, so that is You've given me two

0:00:58.160 --> 0:01:02.520
<v Speaker 1>ridiculous things, and I totally concur You're welcome, no rebock reboot.

0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:06.319
<v Speaker 1>So you know what else is ridiculous hit me with it,

0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:10.600
<v Speaker 1>pulling off an enormous heist and then only getting caught

0:01:10.640 --> 0:01:14.600
<v Speaker 1>because you couldn't shut up about it. Did my family

0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:38.080
<v Speaker 1>do this? Maybe? H This is Ridiculous Crime a podcast

0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:42.360
<v Speaker 1>about absurd and outrageous capers, heists, and cons. It is

0:01:42.520 --> 0:01:50.440
<v Speaker 1>always always murder free and always always always ridiculous. Alright, Saron,

0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:53.720
<v Speaker 1>you like Ocean's eleven movies, right, the series of films,

0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:58.360
<v Speaker 1>both the originals and the reboot original and reboot. Yeah,

0:01:58.400 --> 0:02:01.080
<v Speaker 1>I like, yeah, I like the original Frank Sinatra Oceans eleven.

0:02:01.120 --> 0:02:05.120
<v Speaker 1>I like the the the George Clooney, Brad Pitt Oceans eleven, twelve,

0:02:05.120 --> 0:02:08.720
<v Speaker 1>and thirteen. Right. I liked also Oceans eight with Rihanna,

0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:12.320
<v Speaker 1>and like, I you know me, I love criminals. I

0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:14.960
<v Speaker 1>love crime. I like Caper's Heist and it was right

0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:18.200
<v Speaker 1>up and there was I love Rihanna. Steven Soderberg is

0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:20.519
<v Speaker 1>a hell of a director. He can make something that

0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:23.120
<v Speaker 1>is stylish fluff like that into something that feels like

0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:25.799
<v Speaker 1>actually meaningful. You cared about those characters, when in most

0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:27.760
<v Speaker 1>cases a lot of filmmakers would not have put in

0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:29.280
<v Speaker 1>the work to make you care about them. And that's

0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:31.079
<v Speaker 1>the films would not have been a hit. He made

0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:33.720
<v Speaker 1>us care about characters that should have been cardboard cutouts. Well,

0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:36.840
<v Speaker 1>in speaking of another director, you like Guy Ritchie movies, right? Oh?

0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:38.880
<v Speaker 1>I love Guy Richie, same thing. He also can take

0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:41.480
<v Speaker 1>characters and turn that our interest into his characters into

0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:43.200
<v Speaker 1>a world you just want to go. I mean like

0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:46.520
<v Speaker 1>brick Top. Come on now, now, how do you feel

0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:50.040
<v Speaker 1>about the movie Cocoon? Oh my god, you're just going

0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:53.280
<v Speaker 1>through my favorites another see this is another crime moving people.

0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:55.720
<v Speaker 1>Don't think about it. They were smuggling aliens. That was

0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:58.640
<v Speaker 1>an alien smuggling ring run by a bunch of gray hairs.

0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:01.520
<v Speaker 1>Love it all right? So now what if I told

0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:05.280
<v Speaker 1>you that there was a real life combo of all three?

0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:09.960
<v Speaker 1>I need to go jack up? Feel right now? How

0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:12.600
<v Speaker 1>how are you feeling right now? In your body? I'm

0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:14.600
<v Speaker 1>all excited, like a thrilliest running through me like I

0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:18.240
<v Speaker 1>just stuck my finger in the socket again exactly. So

0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:20.400
<v Speaker 1>what I'm gonna lay on you as the story of

0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:23.880
<v Speaker 1>the Hatton Garden heist. Oh, I like this at garden hest.

0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:28.960
<v Speaker 1>I want you to imagine this. It's you got four pals,

0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:32.600
<v Speaker 1>four old age pensioners, gathering in a London pub called

0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:36.000
<v Speaker 1>the Castle. And that's like a traditional pub, but it's

0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:38.920
<v Speaker 1>got this really lovely roof terrace. It's in the Angel

0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:43.280
<v Speaker 1>section of Islington Tony neighborhood in London. Yes, that's what.

0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:46.840
<v Speaker 1>And so there's just you know, the four older gentleman

0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:49.920
<v Speaker 1>sitting down together for points on a regular basis, super

0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:54.480
<v Speaker 1>common site all over the UK pub culture. Exactly. These

0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:56.960
<v Speaker 1>guys are different. They're even more your kind of guys.

0:03:57.600 --> 0:04:00.840
<v Speaker 1>You're planning a heist. Oh my god, they sent my guys.

0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:05.240
<v Speaker 1>So let me introduce you to them. First. There's Brian Reader.

0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:09.040
<v Speaker 1>They call him the Governor. Yeah, I love it. This

0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:12.040
<v Speaker 1>is so guy Ritchie. He's seventy three years old. Time.

0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:15.480
<v Speaker 1>Don't laugh at that. I'm not laughing at the age.

0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:20.400
<v Speaker 1>I love. His first arrest was for breaking and entering

0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:25.120
<v Speaker 1>at the age of eleven. He did nine years in

0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:28.200
<v Speaker 1>prison for conspiracy to handle stolen goods after he and

0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:32.120
<v Speaker 1>another guy helped launder stolen gold, bullion and diamonds stolen

0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:34.560
<v Speaker 1>from a warehouse near Heathrow. Oh by the airport. Word.

0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:38.080
<v Speaker 1>So he's got, you know, credentials. He gets out of

0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:41.600
<v Speaker 1>prison and then he moves into this like rundown mansion

0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:47.039
<v Speaker 1>in Dartford, Kent, Dartford. That one word Dartford. It's Dartford

0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:52.880
<v Speaker 1>in in Kent, oh, Dartford in Stratford, and so Dartford

0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:55.360
<v Speaker 1>is the town. And so he runs a used card

0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:59.320
<v Speaker 1>viewership out of his house. You know, do you know

0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:03.120
<v Speaker 1>who else is born in Dartford? No, Liam Gallagher, Keith

0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:08.719
<v Speaker 1>Richards what, Yeah, it's sick Ground. Yeah. So the governor,

0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:12.279
<v Speaker 1>he's a bon vivante because he dresses all flashy and

0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:14.480
<v Speaker 1>he's got this dark criminal past. But he's living in

0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:17.880
<v Speaker 1>like a shabby sheek mansion in Kent, you know, twenty

0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:21.080
<v Speaker 1>seven miles outside of London. He's just like a fabulous character.

0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:26.000
<v Speaker 1>I like the Governor. Then there's Danny Jones. Danny's fifty

0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:29.479
<v Speaker 1>seven at the time. He's like the spring Chicken. He's

0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:34.480
<v Speaker 1>also a lifetime criminal. He specializes in jewelry another stolen goods.

0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:39.520
<v Speaker 1>He's a total oddball. Well, yeah, because like one of

0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:42.080
<v Speaker 1>his little quirks is that he went to bed. He

0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:44.760
<v Speaker 1>went to sleep in his mother's dressing gown and a

0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:48.960
<v Speaker 1>fez at night. I was still hanging on mother's dressing gown. Try,

0:05:49.400 --> 0:05:54.400
<v Speaker 1>what's that picture like, and then he has to find

0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:57.280
<v Speaker 1>his comfort zone is safe space. But he didn't really

0:05:57.320 --> 0:06:00.279
<v Speaker 1>go to bed per se, because he slept right on

0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:03.800
<v Speaker 1>the floor, so he put on his mother's dress to

0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:08.719
<v Speaker 1>sleep on the floor. Danny Man, he he studied crime

0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:15.280
<v Speaker 1>like a kid cramming for a forgotten bio exam. Did research,

0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:20.480
<v Speaker 1>he read books, he watched movies, he studied golden diamond prices,

0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:22.840
<v Speaker 1>and then he was also researching like which tools are

0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:26.160
<v Speaker 1>the best for cutting through which material that happened to

0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:29.960
<v Speaker 1>be used to make a vault. So yeah, Danny, he's

0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:33.560
<v Speaker 1>going he's the young, studious one with a fez on.

0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:39.600
<v Speaker 1>Then we have Kenny Collins. Kenny Kenny is seventy two

0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:44.120
<v Speaker 1>and at the table at the pub seventy two years old.

0:06:44.360 --> 0:06:47.480
<v Speaker 1>He's another career criminal. Yet again he was like your

0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:51.159
<v Speaker 1>classic hard man, British hard man, right, so he goes

0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:55.200
<v Speaker 1>everywhere with his Staffordshire bull Terrier. It's kind of like

0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:58.440
<v Speaker 1>it's not like an American Staffordshire terrier, like a pit bull.

0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:02.200
<v Speaker 1>It's like a cross between an English bulldog and like

0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:05.039
<v Speaker 1>an old English terrier. I'm kind of imagining more like

0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:08.240
<v Speaker 1>a pub dog kind of yeah, but like a little muscleman. Yeah,

0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:10.640
<v Speaker 1>exactly a little square but kind of like a muscle.

0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:15.120
<v Speaker 1>The dog's name is Dempsey, like the fighter. Yeah, he's

0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:21.600
<v Speaker 1>but Kenny is also diabetic and he has some memory issues,

0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:24.920
<v Speaker 1>do all Kenny? Yeah? Such is aging? Does Kenny not

0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:29.800
<v Speaker 1>have a nickname? Kenny? Mind is? They like Brian is

0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:33.560
<v Speaker 1>the governor and then Danny is Danny because they love

0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:38.120
<v Speaker 1>the diminutives, Danny Kenny. And that takes us to the

0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:44.480
<v Speaker 1>last in our quartet, Terry Perkins. Terry Terry Terry, Danny Terry.

0:07:45.160 --> 0:07:49.840
<v Speaker 1>He's sixty four. He's another career criminal like it, and

0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:53.240
<v Speaker 1>he's also a one time prison escape. Yeah, go on, Terry,

0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:55.160
<v Speaker 1>he's been on He was on the lamb at one

0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:58.640
<v Speaker 1>point for seventeen years. Yeah, I'm like this for real.

0:07:58.680 --> 0:08:00.320
<v Speaker 1>It's not like he like slips out in the get

0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:02.000
<v Speaker 1>back here and then you him back here. Yeah, he

0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:04.760
<v Speaker 1>was like on the lamp. Now, he and the governor

0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:07.880
<v Speaker 1>had like done a bunch of jobs together, so you know,

0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:10.720
<v Speaker 1>they were like professional acquaintances and it grew to a

0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:16.760
<v Speaker 1>deeper friendship. You could say that they were ste beautiful. No,

0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:21.520
<v Speaker 1>that was incredible. So they're they're actually some other dudes

0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:24.720
<v Speaker 1>that they recruited to help out. Yeah. Sure, but they're

0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:28.480
<v Speaker 1>not like our core group. But there is one important

0:08:28.520 --> 0:08:33.120
<v Speaker 1>youngster fifty two years young. His name is Michael Seed.

0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:38.160
<v Speaker 1>Practically a boy, yeah glad, but he's known on the

0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:41.440
<v Speaker 1>streets is Basil Basil. Of course he was British. I'm

0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:45.120
<v Speaker 1>like Basil Basil. It looks like Basil. It's Basil. And

0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:48.120
<v Speaker 1>he's the son of this professor. And he studied physics

0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:52.680
<v Speaker 1>and electronics at Nottingham University. Um. But when he like

0:08:53.040 --> 0:08:56.920
<v Speaker 1>he did twenty one months back because he sold ten

0:08:57.000 --> 0:09:00.199
<v Speaker 1>tabs of acid and some weed to a friend, was

0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:04.040
<v Speaker 1>his friend of cop, I don't know a square sitch.

0:09:06.160 --> 0:09:08.280
<v Speaker 1>And then like, so what he does like since then,

0:09:08.320 --> 0:09:11.840
<v Speaker 1>like he's he's like fixing TVs and electronics and then

0:09:12.200 --> 0:09:14.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, I guess just at home for people who

0:09:14.280 --> 0:09:17.240
<v Speaker 1>are like I tell he's broken with screw driver. Yeah,

0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:21.240
<v Speaker 1>and then he gets into the jewelry trade. Like what

0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:23.439
<v Speaker 1>does he do in the jewelry trade? He said he

0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:28.199
<v Speaker 1>quote recycled jewelry because he was good with his hands.

0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:34.040
<v Speaker 1>It's like recycled jewelry. Huh, I remember that he is recycled. Um,

0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:37.080
<v Speaker 1>he didn't have a bank account, he didn't claim benefits,

0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:40.760
<v Speaker 1>didn't pay taxes, and in the words of Steven Stills,

0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:44.560
<v Speaker 1>he didn't do business that don't make him smile. That's

0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:49.920
<v Speaker 1>a good rule, that's basil. Right. So, um, all these

0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:55.679
<v Speaker 1>guys they're meeting up at the pub. Three years go by.

0:09:55.720 --> 0:09:58.240
<v Speaker 1>It's a lot of points, right if something for these

0:09:58.240 --> 0:10:02.319
<v Speaker 1>guys have imagined yet, yeah, spring comes along. They think

0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:04.920
<v Speaker 1>they're ready. They think they're ready. So this whole three

0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:08.719
<v Speaker 1>year period they're basically plotting to do this job, or

0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:11.920
<v Speaker 1>they're just like they're plotting, like the whole time. They're

0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:14.160
<v Speaker 1>sitting there and they're plotting. So they're parked in this

0:10:14.240 --> 0:10:17.840
<v Speaker 1>pub you imagine, like Dempsey's at their feet, there's a

0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:19.960
<v Speaker 1>fire going, or they're up on the roof deck on

0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:23.720
<v Speaker 1>a lovely day, you know, enjoying a pint, and they're

0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:27.640
<v Speaker 1>like drawing like schematics on bar napkins or like totally sure,

0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:30.520
<v Speaker 1>and they had like I imagine they had like a

0:10:30.640 --> 0:10:34.319
<v Speaker 1>chalkboard and would plot it out there and like drop

0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:36.960
<v Speaker 1>it over when people come by, exactly, or they would

0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:40.120
<v Speaker 1>pretend like it was like football as we say, soccer,

0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:46.559
<v Speaker 1>like you know, diagrams of moves or what are set ups,

0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:50.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what you'd say, formations. And then yeah,

0:10:50.679 --> 0:10:52.600
<v Speaker 1>so they've got this whole thing. They have their eyes

0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:56.440
<v Speaker 1>set on a place called Hatton Garden and I'm going

0:10:56.480 --> 0:10:58.760
<v Speaker 1>to get to that in a in a while, but

0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:02.000
<v Speaker 1>let's go back to them plotting. So you have these

0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:08.520
<v Speaker 1>four criminal masterminds who've got lifetimes of experience behind them,

0:11:08.640 --> 0:11:12.040
<v Speaker 1>and Basil, Basil, he's not up in there yet, like

0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:14.679
<v Speaker 1>they're kind of keeping him outside of it, giving in

0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:17.120
<v Speaker 1>the information he needs, but he's like they're clutchy young

0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:20.439
<v Speaker 1>guy that they're going to use. But so these guys

0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:24.079
<v Speaker 1>take everything that they've learned about diamonds, about gold, about

0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:27.480
<v Speaker 1>breaking into places. Don't forget the governor had broken into

0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:31.600
<v Speaker 1>a warehouse outside a heathrow um. So they're taking all

0:11:31.640 --> 0:11:34.599
<v Speaker 1>this and they've got their eyes on Hatton Garden. I

0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:36.840
<v Speaker 1>don't think, I don't hear them having is a fence

0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:38.760
<v Speaker 1>and you have to be able to get away with

0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:42.199
<v Speaker 1>your crime. Well they do, yeah, they do. And those

0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:46.200
<v Speaker 1>are the sort of the associated people. So let me

0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:48.559
<v Speaker 1>tell you a little bit about Hatton Garden first. So

0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:53.080
<v Speaker 1>it's this this like seven story building, sixty tenants, most

0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:56.600
<v Speaker 1>of them are jewelers. Um, but the basement is this

0:11:56.679 --> 0:12:00.400
<v Speaker 1>room that's completely full of safe deposit boxes and in

0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:06.400
<v Speaker 1>those boxes gold jewelry. Jem, I don't think you would

0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:08.120
<v Speaker 1>know the answer to this. Why why so many bankers

0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:10.200
<v Speaker 1>all living in the same building or jewelers all living

0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:11.480
<v Speaker 1>in the same building. I think it's like we have.

0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:15.240
<v Speaker 1>I think it's probably akin to like the Diamond District

0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:18.520
<v Speaker 1>somewhere where they're you know, they're all in the same

0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:21.040
<v Speaker 1>location and it's like a little market place. I don't know,

0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:24.040
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, so interesting. But the safe deposit boxes are

0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:27.120
<v Speaker 1>the key here, and that's what these guys are really

0:12:27.240 --> 0:12:30.640
<v Speaker 1>like focused on, and that's what they're plotting. So I'm

0:12:30.640 --> 0:12:34.040
<v Speaker 1>gonna walk you through how this all plays out, but

0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:56.840
<v Speaker 1>let's take a quick break first. Alright, So we got

0:12:56.880 --> 0:13:01.400
<v Speaker 1>our four dudes, the Governor, Terry, Ny and Danny Yes,

0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:05.040
<v Speaker 1>and they're all hanging out at the pub and they've

0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:07.880
<v Speaker 1>come up with this plan. So we jumped forward. It's Thursday,

0:13:07.920 --> 0:13:12.640
<v Speaker 1>April two. It also happens to be Holy Week, and

0:13:12.679 --> 0:13:15.200
<v Speaker 1>that means the next day is both Good Friday and

0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:18.439
<v Speaker 1>it's also the start of Passover. Do it up, double up?

0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:21.680
<v Speaker 1>So they're locking everything up in that building and they're

0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:26.400
<v Speaker 1>heading out for a long Easter passover weekend. Brian Reader

0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:30.079
<v Speaker 1>a k a. The Governor, he's prepping for his own

0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:33.600
<v Speaker 1>kind of religious holiday. At this point. He uses his

0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:39.040
<v Speaker 1>senior free travel pass. It's like a bus pass seniors,

0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:41.559
<v Speaker 1>and he gets on a bus from his place out

0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:44.160
<v Speaker 1>in Kent and goes into London, like an hour and

0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:47.240
<v Speaker 1>a half journey, but you know it's free. Seniors fly free.

0:13:48.240 --> 0:13:52.920
<v Speaker 1>And the Governor meets up with Danny, Kenny, Terry, and

0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:56.120
<v Speaker 1>then this other guy named Carl Wood outside the building.

0:13:56.200 --> 0:13:59.319
<v Speaker 1>Carl is like a part time criminal, not a full

0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:03.360
<v Speaker 1>time pro like the other guys. Yeah, he's got one

0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:11.920
<v Speaker 1>foot in and they're like pulling him in. So the Governor, Danny, Terry, Kenny, Carl, Um,

0:14:11.960 --> 0:14:15.320
<v Speaker 1>they're all ready to go. They get all dressed up

0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:20.360
<v Speaker 1>as workers, hard hats, jumpsuits, reflective vests. They jump into

0:14:20.440 --> 0:14:24.080
<v Speaker 1>a white van that Kenny's driving, Kenny the diabetic, and

0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:26.320
<v Speaker 1>they pull up to the side entrance to the building.

0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:31.160
<v Speaker 1>Now they unload all their tools and stuff like that. Um.

0:14:31.240 --> 0:14:33.680
<v Speaker 1>Kenny goes across the street to an office building and

0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:35.840
<v Speaker 1>they've secured this location where he's going to be the

0:14:35.880 --> 0:14:38.720
<v Speaker 1>lookout and keep an eye on the scene, which is important.

0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:43.240
<v Speaker 1>You know, this is a big, big hei. Yeah, he's

0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:45.200
<v Speaker 1>taken it a little easy. The reason why he's the

0:14:45.240 --> 0:14:48.240
<v Speaker 1>lookout and not like down in there is because you know,

0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:51.960
<v Speaker 1>he has the sugar got the sugar diabetes and he's

0:14:52.000 --> 0:14:55.080
<v Speaker 1>got a touch of dementia. Oh this is not sounding

0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:57.720
<v Speaker 1>like a good lookout. Yeah, and so like the problem

0:14:57.760 --> 0:14:59.240
<v Speaker 1>is he gets up to the post and then he

0:14:59.280 --> 0:15:04.640
<v Speaker 1>falls asleep up there's not a good lookout, Kenny. Kenny

0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:06.800
<v Speaker 1>has done hard, like a lot of good work in

0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:09.560
<v Speaker 1>his criminal career, but this is not it. You can

0:15:09.640 --> 0:15:11.680
<v Speaker 1>keep him back in the pad. You haven't count everything

0:15:11.680 --> 0:15:15.280
<v Speaker 1>when they get the roles. Think he could have just

0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:18.120
<v Speaker 1>been like the stenographer at those things and you know,

0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:20.200
<v Speaker 1>just maybe was their paperman. You know, I did a

0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:25.640
<v Speaker 1>counterfeiting so um basil. Remember him, he's already in the building.

0:15:26.120 --> 0:15:27.920
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't meet up with him outside because he's already

0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:32.160
<v Speaker 1>up in there. He has his own costume on, okay,

0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:35.480
<v Speaker 1>and it's not like a workerman costume. He's wearing a

0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:39.760
<v Speaker 1>red wig like Ronald McDonald or like Lucile Ball. I

0:15:39.760 --> 0:15:41.400
<v Speaker 1>don't know. I'm kind of thinking it's like a chucky

0:15:41.440 --> 0:15:44.800
<v Speaker 1>wig when I closed my eyes in magic and a

0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:48.240
<v Speaker 1>flat cap, like you know, he's seeing for a C

0:15:48.400 --> 0:15:53.600
<v Speaker 1>d C. And then a jumpsuit jumpsuit, like a work jumpsuit. Yeah,

0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:55.960
<v Speaker 1>but like we can also pretend that it's like an

0:15:56.040 --> 0:15:59.520
<v Speaker 1>urban outfitters, you know, fashion jumps Can I pretend it's

0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:02.080
<v Speaker 1>an evil can evil jumps with stripes and stars? Yes,

0:16:02.400 --> 0:16:08.400
<v Speaker 1>let's okay, that's our visual image. Hot. So he's disabled

0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:11.360
<v Speaker 1>the alarm system, disabled the cameras, but he forgets about

0:16:11.360 --> 0:16:15.720
<v Speaker 1>two CCTV cameras oops, ones on the fire exit that

0:16:15.800 --> 0:16:19.600
<v Speaker 1>they've been coming in and out of, and the others

0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:22.920
<v Speaker 1>on the second floor. O man, So mean, while he's

0:16:22.920 --> 0:16:26.000
<v Speaker 1>got this chucky wig on, their entrances and exits are

0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:28.120
<v Speaker 1>being filmed the whole time. Yeah, but don't worry, guys,

0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:31.320
<v Speaker 1>I disabled all the cameras exactly. So the other thing

0:16:31.360 --> 0:16:35.280
<v Speaker 1>they disabled is the elevator for a bunch of old

0:16:35.280 --> 0:16:38.840
<v Speaker 1>men to go downstairs. Well no, like it's like, I

0:16:38.880 --> 0:16:41.600
<v Speaker 1>guess they did it because they didn't want people sneaking

0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:45.280
<v Speaker 1>up on him down They accessed the basement vault by

0:16:45.320 --> 0:16:48.680
<v Speaker 1>like going through the shaft the elevator shaft, so they

0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:51.560
<v Speaker 1>got underneath the car and then dropped. I guess they

0:16:51.600 --> 0:16:55.440
<v Speaker 1>all like it's very Ocean's eleven there in like Matt

0:16:55.520 --> 0:17:00.480
<v Speaker 1>damon black jumpsuits and if don Cheedle fell asleep. So

0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:03.160
<v Speaker 1>they want to make sure that no one can sneak

0:17:03.240 --> 0:17:05.719
<v Speaker 1>up on them. They get into the basement and they

0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:10.119
<v Speaker 1>reach the airlock, you know, like kind of think it's

0:17:10.160 --> 0:17:14.240
<v Speaker 1>got like ahip, yeah, and maybe they're I don't know,

0:17:14.920 --> 0:17:18.199
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of stuff basement. So they cut the

0:17:18.280 --> 0:17:22.879
<v Speaker 1>telephone cable and rip out like this GPS antenna and

0:17:22.920 --> 0:17:26.480
<v Speaker 1>then they only but what they did only partially shut

0:17:26.520 --> 0:17:33.760
<v Speaker 1>down the security system, like it would have worked exactly exactly.

0:17:33.840 --> 0:17:37.320
<v Speaker 1>They're like whatever that antenna is for ham radio yankee down.

0:17:37.400 --> 0:17:41.439
<v Speaker 1>They're like, no, I think that's important. So like the

0:17:41.480 --> 0:17:45.960
<v Speaker 1>alarm goes off because they like they cut the telephone wire,

0:17:46.000 --> 0:17:49.159
<v Speaker 1>but like, guys, we use fiber optic cable and then

0:17:49.200 --> 0:17:52.119
<v Speaker 1>everyone's going to call this one in and so like

0:17:52.359 --> 0:17:55.439
<v Speaker 1>the alarm goes off. Head of security shows up, but

0:17:55.560 --> 0:18:00.280
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't see anything off. The four doors forced open,

0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:03.280
<v Speaker 1>there's nobody like huddled around the front sign of fourth entry.

0:18:03.359 --> 0:18:05.600
<v Speaker 1>So when the cops come and they're like, what's all

0:18:05.640 --> 0:18:08.040
<v Speaker 1>this then, and the head of Securities like nas a

0:18:08.119 --> 0:18:10.520
<v Speaker 1>false alarm. Now, one other thing I should mention is

0:18:10.560 --> 0:18:13.800
<v Speaker 1>that like a couple of days before this happened, this

0:18:13.800 --> 0:18:17.159
<v Speaker 1>is on the fourth, on the second, Um, there was

0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:19.840
<v Speaker 1>a gas main break in the street. So it caused

0:18:19.840 --> 0:18:23.359
<v Speaker 1>all this chaos. Reasonable, Yeah, and it was like good

0:18:23.440 --> 0:18:25.840
<v Speaker 1>cover for them, and it was totally unrelated. It's not

0:18:25.920 --> 0:18:28.119
<v Speaker 1>like they sent Kenny down there to bang on it

0:18:28.160 --> 0:18:32.000
<v Speaker 1>with a pipe until it broke and then like stagger out. Um. No,

0:18:32.240 --> 0:18:33.639
<v Speaker 1>they had nothing to do with it. But it was

0:18:33.680 --> 0:18:36.120
<v Speaker 1>just like good timing. And so I think that's why

0:18:36.119 --> 0:18:38.520
<v Speaker 1>the police were just thinking, like man, these alarms are

0:18:38.520 --> 0:18:41.040
<v Speaker 1>going off everything. This was fast and furious. Then Diesel

0:18:41.080 --> 0:18:43.880
<v Speaker 1>would have him break the pipe exactly different, he would

0:18:43.880 --> 0:18:49.119
<v Speaker 1>have chewed right through it underground. So everyone goes home

0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:53.720
<v Speaker 1>and goes to sleep security wise, Um, but the gang

0:18:53.760 --> 0:18:57.000
<v Speaker 1>at this point is still getting closer and closer getting

0:18:57.000 --> 0:19:00.320
<v Speaker 1>into the vault. Um. There's like a foot and half

0:19:00.359 --> 0:19:03.080
<v Speaker 1>of concrete between them and all the boxes in the fault.

0:19:03.359 --> 0:19:05.600
<v Speaker 1>They're going through the concrete, yeah, They're not like going

0:19:05.600 --> 0:19:07.280
<v Speaker 1>through the door. Yeah. And they're not trying to also

0:19:07.320 --> 0:19:08.440
<v Speaker 1>get the door off. The hand is not trying to

0:19:08.440 --> 0:19:14.359
<v Speaker 1>open the lock through the wall essentially, and so the

0:19:14.480 --> 0:19:16.840
<v Speaker 1>half Yeah, and like when you have to do that,

0:19:17.000 --> 0:19:20.359
<v Speaker 1>what do you what do you use? Jack camera? No,

0:19:20.520 --> 0:19:22.880
<v Speaker 1>it's so what you always carry on you that hill

0:19:22.960 --> 0:19:28.879
<v Speaker 1>D D D three circular power drill exactly, Yeah, in

0:19:28.920 --> 0:19:31.760
<v Speaker 1>the holster at all times. And I got the carbon

0:19:31.880 --> 0:19:34.680
<v Speaker 1>to change out and complete my diamonds completely. So that's

0:19:34.680 --> 0:19:37.560
<v Speaker 1>what they get out right, They two and a half

0:19:37.600 --> 0:19:42.920
<v Speaker 1>hours later, they've drilled three overlapping circles. Okay, so they're

0:19:42.920 --> 0:19:47.480
<v Speaker 1>trying to dig, trying to give it the value that is, yeah,

0:19:47.640 --> 0:19:49.880
<v Speaker 1>and that, but the whole was not really well placed.

0:19:51.520 --> 0:19:54.520
<v Speaker 1>They drilled into the back of this bolted down wall

0:19:54.600 --> 0:19:57.680
<v Speaker 1>of safe deposit boxes and that blocked their entry. So

0:19:57.720 --> 0:19:59.680
<v Speaker 1>they thought they were just like going to drill these

0:19:59.680 --> 0:20:01.920
<v Speaker 1>three holes that will make like a larger kind of

0:20:01.960 --> 0:20:06.080
<v Speaker 1>clover shape they can go through. And then yeah, and

0:20:06.200 --> 0:20:09.920
<v Speaker 1>so I'm guessing they didn't have blueprints. Maybe Kenny had

0:20:10.000 --> 0:20:13.600
<v Speaker 1>them right. I Mean, the thing is is like, as

0:20:13.640 --> 0:20:19.439
<v Speaker 1>I'm telling this, it's sounding worse and worse. Trust me.

0:20:19.520 --> 0:20:24.480
<v Speaker 1>These guys are these guys are crack criminals on crack criminals.

0:20:25.440 --> 0:20:28.800
<v Speaker 1>So you know, they're like they've hit this bolted down

0:20:28.840 --> 0:20:30.719
<v Speaker 1>wall and they're like, oh my god, what I need

0:20:30.760 --> 0:20:34.040
<v Speaker 1>to do. Wait a second, blimey, but wait, we had

0:20:34.080 --> 0:20:37.360
<v Speaker 1>we brought our hydraulic ram, you guys. Oh never mind,

0:20:37.400 --> 0:20:40.560
<v Speaker 1>problem solved, Yeah, no big. So they go to set

0:20:40.600 --> 0:20:43.000
<v Speaker 1>it up and the pump on the ram was broken.

0:20:43.600 --> 0:20:48.359
<v Speaker 1>They didn't test their so they took a break, had

0:20:48.400 --> 0:20:54.840
<v Speaker 1>a cuppa. Yeah. So I guess this was like I

0:20:54.880 --> 0:20:57.360
<v Speaker 1>don't know what day it is whatever, on that Friday.

0:20:57.640 --> 0:20:59.520
<v Speaker 1>They left the building at like eight in the morning,

0:20:59.600 --> 0:21:02.560
<v Speaker 1>so this was over all night. Yea. Yeah, they're working

0:21:02.600 --> 0:21:07.520
<v Speaker 1>out it and like they're sweating through their undershirts and

0:21:07.560 --> 0:21:10.359
<v Speaker 1>they're just down to like their topless if they folded

0:21:10.359 --> 0:21:12.920
<v Speaker 1>down the jumpsuits, so they're wearing like their arms like

0:21:13.040 --> 0:21:18.080
<v Speaker 1>long grain nipple hairs. I was right there with you

0:21:18.200 --> 0:21:22.800
<v Speaker 1>till you said longer. They're all wearing chucky wigsture. Never mind.

0:21:22.800 --> 0:21:24.920
<v Speaker 1>I know we're getting further and further away from the truth.

0:21:25.000 --> 0:21:29.560
<v Speaker 1>I need to bring us back in. So Danny woke

0:21:29.680 --> 0:21:34.920
<v Speaker 1>Kenny up and was like, we gotta the pumps. The

0:21:35.000 --> 0:21:37.679
<v Speaker 1>we need a new pump because the ram's broken, so

0:21:37.720 --> 0:21:40.720
<v Speaker 1>they go off to being Q and buy a new

0:21:41.000 --> 0:21:45.879
<v Speaker 1>ram pump um. The governor he's like, all right, so

0:21:46.080 --> 0:21:48.840
<v Speaker 1>we've been in here overnight and it's all screwed up.

0:21:49.400 --> 0:21:52.480
<v Speaker 1>And if we go back in because they left to

0:21:52.640 --> 0:21:54.720
<v Speaker 1>like figure out, Okay, how are we going to do this?

0:21:55.760 --> 0:21:57.680
<v Speaker 1>Governors like, you know what, we go back in there,

0:21:57.680 --> 0:22:01.879
<v Speaker 1>we're caught. I don't want to do that, because he's like,

0:22:01.920 --> 0:22:04.520
<v Speaker 1>we we already successfully got in and out, but we

0:22:04.520 --> 0:22:06.440
<v Speaker 1>didn't get what we wanted. But if we go back

0:22:06.440 --> 0:22:07.920
<v Speaker 1>in and try and do this again, they're going to

0:22:08.000 --> 0:22:10.199
<v Speaker 1>catch us. So he takes off, he gets on the

0:22:10.200 --> 0:22:13.840
<v Speaker 1>train and he goes home. Okay, that's your team leader. Nope,

0:22:13.880 --> 0:22:18.199
<v Speaker 1>Dawn out of there, that's leader the governor. I'm picturing

0:22:18.240 --> 0:22:20.760
<v Speaker 1>George Cline going I'm taking my senior bus ticket and

0:22:20.760 --> 0:22:22.880
<v Speaker 1>going hotly. I was like, yeah, you know what, I'm

0:22:23.160 --> 0:22:26.159
<v Speaker 1>I'm getting too old for this. So the rest of

0:22:26.200 --> 0:22:30.399
<v Speaker 1>the game come back the next day, Saturday. It's ten pm.

0:22:30.440 --> 0:22:32.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, they're doing the night shift on it. But

0:22:32.800 --> 0:22:36.280
<v Speaker 1>don't forget, it's this long holiday weekend. Everyone's checked out.

0:22:36.280 --> 0:22:38.320
<v Speaker 1>No one's gonna be coming through except for the security

0:22:38.320 --> 0:22:40.960
<v Speaker 1>team maybe right, and they already think, well, you know,

0:22:41.080 --> 0:22:46.040
<v Speaker 1>there's so Saturday, April four, also Terry's birthday, the Big

0:22:46.080 --> 0:22:51.560
<v Speaker 1>six seven Terry. Congrats Terry. They try to get back

0:22:51.600 --> 0:22:54.080
<v Speaker 1>in the building at this point and the door that

0:22:54.119 --> 0:22:57.840
<v Speaker 1>they've been using is locked. Like they thought it was

0:22:57.880 --> 0:22:59.640
<v Speaker 1>just going to be open. They're like, we don't lock

0:22:59.680 --> 0:23:01.480
<v Speaker 1>it behind you. We're going we gotta run down and

0:23:01.520 --> 0:23:04.239
<v Speaker 1>get a new pump, but don't lock it. Yeah, they

0:23:04.760 --> 0:23:07.960
<v Speaker 1>lot a brick to hold it open. Carl at this

0:23:08.000 --> 0:23:11.199
<v Speaker 1>point Carl would also he's like the roadie. He's like,

0:23:11.280 --> 0:23:13.600
<v Speaker 1>I've had enough, I'm out of here. He takes off,

0:23:14.560 --> 0:23:20.399
<v Speaker 1>so they're down to three plus Basil. That leaves Danny, Kenny,

0:23:20.880 --> 0:23:29.280
<v Speaker 1>Terry and Basil and Ronnie, Bobby, Rickey and Mike urging

0:23:29.280 --> 0:23:33.240
<v Speaker 1>you to cool it down. Basil is able to get

0:23:33.240 --> 0:23:35.200
<v Speaker 1>them in the building again. He's like, I did it before,

0:23:35.200 --> 0:23:39.080
<v Speaker 1>you guys. Give me a moment. I've been watching YouTube

0:23:39.119 --> 0:23:43.760
<v Speaker 1>block picking videos, you know, I like to recycle jewelry

0:23:43.880 --> 0:23:46.040
<v Speaker 1>or whatever it is. He does. Okay, so he gets

0:23:46.080 --> 0:23:49.640
<v Speaker 1>the building open again and they get in there. Kenny,

0:23:49.680 --> 0:23:52.000
<v Speaker 1>what's Kenny do? He goes back across the street to

0:23:52.160 --> 0:23:56.760
<v Speaker 1>act as lookout falls asleep again. Um, but they have

0:23:56.840 --> 0:23:59.800
<v Speaker 1>all these cool new tools. They're ready to go, and

0:24:00.240 --> 0:24:02.280
<v Speaker 1>they're able to pry the boxes out of the way

0:24:02.359 --> 0:24:04.960
<v Speaker 1>and get into the vault. They moved that whole wall.

0:24:05.400 --> 0:24:08.960
<v Speaker 1>Good on them. Um. They originally wanted to spend three

0:24:09.040 --> 0:24:13.080
<v Speaker 1>days in the vault over the week someone else I

0:24:13.119 --> 0:24:20.119
<v Speaker 1>know that weekend rock. There are nine safe deposit boxes

0:24:20.119 --> 0:24:22.280
<v Speaker 1>in that vault, and they thought, Okay, we're going to

0:24:22.359 --> 0:24:25.920
<v Speaker 1>spend three days in here, let's just take them all.

0:24:25.960 --> 0:24:29.520
<v Speaker 1>But now they have one night, and so they figured, okay,

0:24:29.600 --> 0:24:31.520
<v Speaker 1>let's get like seventy three of them. I don't know

0:24:31.560 --> 0:24:32.919
<v Speaker 1>how they come up with that number. I think they

0:24:32.960 --> 0:24:34.639
<v Speaker 1>probably just looked at a section of the wall and

0:24:34.680 --> 0:24:39.800
<v Speaker 1>we're like these, um, maybe the biggest boxes they could find. Interesting.

0:24:39.880 --> 0:24:42.600
<v Speaker 1>That's how I would do it, But I'm not them,

0:24:42.720 --> 0:24:45.720
<v Speaker 1>and I don't have a diminutive name. Tease. So they

0:24:45.760 --> 0:24:49.040
<v Speaker 1>finish up on Monday morning, super early. They wheel everything

0:24:49.040 --> 0:24:52.359
<v Speaker 1>out of the building, tools, the loot everything in large

0:24:52.359 --> 0:24:56.920
<v Speaker 1>garbage cans. It's convenient. You know, people are going to

0:24:56.960 --> 0:24:59.800
<v Speaker 1>look twice as I'm a pushing garbage exactly, and and

0:24:59.840 --> 0:25:02.439
<v Speaker 1>they you see like these, you know, older gentlemen and

0:25:02.560 --> 0:25:06.879
<v Speaker 1>like the work clothes. They're like, yeah, they've never got

0:25:07.359 --> 0:25:14.520
<v Speaker 1>the weekend. So Kenny wakes up decides to drive home

0:25:14.520 --> 0:25:17.919
<v Speaker 1>in the White Key. Now Kenny, by the way, he

0:25:18.040 --> 0:25:20.400
<v Speaker 1>doesn't want to drive alone on this one. And he's

0:25:20.440 --> 0:25:24.199
<v Speaker 1>there with an associate of his name, William Billy the

0:25:24.240 --> 0:25:27.480
<v Speaker 1>Fish Lincoln the Fish. And you know there's a great

0:25:27.480 --> 0:25:29.680
<v Speaker 1>story behind that nickname. Yeah, you know what a great

0:25:29.720 --> 0:25:32.400
<v Speaker 1>story is. This is like you're gonna it'll blow your mind.

0:25:32.400 --> 0:25:35.080
<v Speaker 1>Why they call him Billy the Fish because he hangs

0:25:35.080 --> 0:25:38.359
<v Speaker 1>out at fish markets on Friday. So when I said

0:25:38.359 --> 0:25:46.120
<v Speaker 1>a great story, maybe I should take that back the dumbest.

0:25:48.119 --> 0:25:51.760
<v Speaker 1>So Billy the Fish is also the brother of Kenny's

0:25:51.880 --> 0:25:55.639
<v Speaker 1>girlfriends slash life partner, so he's like, this kind of

0:25:55.680 --> 0:25:57.639
<v Speaker 1>has to get the family involved. He's like, you know

0:25:57.680 --> 0:26:00.800
<v Speaker 1>what you got going on there, Kenny, And he's like, oh, man,

0:26:00.840 --> 0:26:03.679
<v Speaker 1>Billy stink all right, you know, because don't forget what

0:26:03.720 --> 0:26:06.000
<v Speaker 1>are we Monday? Now he's he's been sitting at the

0:26:06.040 --> 0:26:09.639
<v Speaker 1>fish market. Um. Billy the Fish, though, is a career criminal.

0:26:09.720 --> 0:26:12.680
<v Speaker 1>He's not just a guy who frequents fish markets um.

0:26:12.720 --> 0:26:14.800
<v Speaker 1>But he also like the rest of the gang has

0:26:14.840 --> 0:26:20.520
<v Speaker 1>some medical ailments. Um, they include incontinence, and he also

0:26:20.560 --> 0:26:23.240
<v Speaker 1>has had a recent double hip replacement. This is your

0:26:23.320 --> 0:26:26.600
<v Speaker 1>escape team. Okay, Yeah, So they're driving. He's riding with Kenny,

0:26:26.600 --> 0:26:32.120
<v Speaker 1>who's falling asleep. It's riding with the King. They all

0:26:32.160 --> 0:26:34.760
<v Speaker 1>go to their respective places. They divide up the loop

0:26:35.480 --> 0:26:38.040
<v Speaker 1>and um, even the ones who bailed out on the

0:26:38.080 --> 0:26:42.160
<v Speaker 1>second attempt, the Governor Carl, they get They get their

0:26:42.160 --> 0:26:44.440
<v Speaker 1>share because you know, they did some heavy lifting, they

0:26:44.480 --> 0:26:46.080
<v Speaker 1>just didn't finish it out. And if you don't pay

0:26:46.119 --> 0:26:49.680
<v Speaker 1>them to flip on you exactly or worse. And so

0:26:50.240 --> 0:26:54.200
<v Speaker 1>April seventh, Tuesday morning, everyone's finally coming back to work.

0:26:54.240 --> 0:26:57.680
<v Speaker 1>They're like, oh, how is your weekend? It was so good?

0:26:57.760 --> 0:26:59.720
<v Speaker 1>And then they're like zolys. They walk into the vaul.

0:27:00.119 --> 0:27:06.679
<v Speaker 1>Jesus just it's just chaos in the vault. They're like, they,

0:27:06.840 --> 0:27:14.200
<v Speaker 1>I think they probably went in continent themselves when I

0:27:14.240 --> 0:27:18.360
<v Speaker 1>was continent and I am no longer. So they called

0:27:18.400 --> 0:27:22.439
<v Speaker 1>the cops, obviously, and the question is will these guys

0:27:22.520 --> 0:27:25.960
<v Speaker 1>get away with it? I'm gonna go, well, it's unlikely

0:27:26.080 --> 0:27:28.240
<v Speaker 1>that they'll get away with it. If we're talking about it,

0:27:28.880 --> 0:27:32.119
<v Speaker 1>so that that's your big my first clue. I know,

0:27:32.280 --> 0:27:35.800
<v Speaker 1>Colombo over here, I put that together. Let's stop for

0:27:35.840 --> 0:27:39.199
<v Speaker 1>a moment, Let's revel in the gray panther power of

0:27:39.240 --> 0:27:42.000
<v Speaker 1>this gang. And when we come back, I'm going to

0:27:42.119 --> 0:27:44.959
<v Speaker 1>fill you in on the aftermath of this ridiculous caper.

0:28:04.640 --> 0:28:08.520
<v Speaker 1>Now we're talking about seventy three empty safe deposit box.

0:28:09.640 --> 0:28:13.840
<v Speaker 1>That is a lot of angry jewelers. Well, and the

0:28:13.880 --> 0:28:17.400
<v Speaker 1>thing is, these guys to the jewelers aren't really eager

0:28:17.480 --> 0:28:20.760
<v Speaker 1>to detail what was in the boxes because they're jewelers

0:28:20.920 --> 0:28:24.439
<v Speaker 1>and they're inherently kind of thinky yeah so like, and

0:28:24.560 --> 0:28:27.440
<v Speaker 1>the thing is, like they could be avoiding like one

0:28:27.560 --> 0:28:31.240
<v Speaker 1>of of three things, right or three of who knows.

0:28:31.440 --> 0:28:36.560
<v Speaker 1>They're avoiding the revenuers, are avoiding paying taxes, they're avoiding

0:28:37.359 --> 0:28:42.400
<v Speaker 1>the cops because some of it, yeah, And they're avoiding

0:28:42.480 --> 0:28:45.560
<v Speaker 1>spouses because what happens. They want to be able to

0:28:45.600 --> 0:28:47.600
<v Speaker 1>have well, and some of them have like some stuff

0:28:47.640 --> 0:28:52.640
<v Speaker 1>that maybe they're giving to boyfriends exactly side pieces. And

0:28:52.640 --> 0:28:54.560
<v Speaker 1>then also you just wanted you don't want your partner

0:28:54.600 --> 0:28:57.880
<v Speaker 1>necessarily if you are a dirty jeweler, to know how dirty.

0:28:58.720 --> 0:29:00.840
<v Speaker 1>So if they do ever like roll on you. They

0:29:00.840 --> 0:29:02.400
<v Speaker 1>can't just go and get it all. You got to

0:29:02.480 --> 0:29:05.400
<v Speaker 1>hide some instead of the thing. They'll roll on you

0:29:05.440 --> 0:29:08.800
<v Speaker 1>if they if they want to protect their spouse from

0:29:08.840 --> 0:29:14.160
<v Speaker 1>knowing too much, maybe they're not so suspicious criminal And

0:29:14.360 --> 0:29:16.200
<v Speaker 1>I like that. That's really nice. I would have never

0:29:16.240 --> 0:29:18.880
<v Speaker 1>thought they wanted to like, no, please give me plausible

0:29:18.920 --> 0:29:22.440
<v Speaker 1>deniability exactly. Well, that's how I think these jewelers are

0:29:22.680 --> 0:29:26.080
<v Speaker 1>like that. But they have like Okay, at first, the

0:29:26.880 --> 0:29:29.640
<v Speaker 1>like initial estimate thrown out there was like three million

0:29:29.640 --> 0:29:33.000
<v Speaker 1>pounds worth of stuff. Whoa right, that's a lot pounds

0:29:33.000 --> 0:29:37.880
<v Speaker 1>sterling not wait what yeah, one of the biggest British Yeah,

0:29:37.920 --> 0:29:41.440
<v Speaker 1>but that was wildly exaggerated. And when they had to

0:29:41.480 --> 0:29:43.680
<v Speaker 1>actually go through and do the general tally, it was

0:29:43.680 --> 0:29:51.240
<v Speaker 1>still fourteen million pounds A. Yeah. Well, because I'm sure

0:29:51.240 --> 0:29:53.120
<v Speaker 1>that some of the some of the jewelers must have

0:29:53.120 --> 0:30:00.160
<v Speaker 1>been like I had yeah, like, can you prove up

0:30:00.160 --> 0:30:02.360
<v Speaker 1>to that? No, no, no, you have to trust me.

0:30:02.440 --> 0:30:05.680
<v Speaker 1>He was there. I've got pictures. So it comes out

0:30:05.720 --> 0:30:09.880
<v Speaker 1>to about fourteen million pounds in cash, jewelry, gold, valuables.

0:30:09.960 --> 0:30:11.520
<v Speaker 1>Now what do you think. I don't know what the

0:30:11.600 --> 0:30:14.040
<v Speaker 1>valuables were, But what would they candle laubras? What do

0:30:14.120 --> 0:30:16.080
<v Speaker 1>they got up in there that would be valuable? I

0:30:16.120 --> 0:30:20.120
<v Speaker 1>don't know. Gold crusted shoehorns, yes, you know, for slipping

0:30:20.120 --> 0:30:24.800
<v Speaker 1>on your your shoes you're satin slippers. I honestly don't

0:30:24.800 --> 0:30:27.360
<v Speaker 1>know what they I don't know when they say valuables,

0:30:27.400 --> 0:30:29.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm thinking, like, what do they mean? Silver music stands?

0:30:30.000 --> 0:30:33.680
<v Speaker 1>I get music boxes. They all get really melancholy and

0:30:33.680 --> 0:30:35.640
<v Speaker 1>wistful when they open it up and they stare off

0:30:35.640 --> 0:30:38.680
<v Speaker 1>into space and they do you remember, Amanda, Yeah, what

0:30:38.720 --> 0:30:40.240
<v Speaker 1>do old British people want to play? Like? What are

0:30:40.280 --> 0:30:42.280
<v Speaker 1>their chants? Like? What would they play? Do you remember

0:30:42.280 --> 0:30:44.240
<v Speaker 1>any of the pub songs that they would be like bumping?

0:30:44.280 --> 0:30:46.840
<v Speaker 1>It's like, oh, this reminds me of what I can

0:30:46.920 --> 0:30:50.360
<v Speaker 1>remember when I when I lived in Scotland. Um, I

0:30:50.400 --> 0:30:53.400
<v Speaker 1>would hear people singing a lot on their way home

0:30:53.440 --> 0:30:55.280
<v Speaker 1>from the people saying in pots and stuff like if

0:30:55.360 --> 0:30:58.720
<v Speaker 1>nine to five comes on the jukebox, people lose it.

0:30:59.360 --> 0:31:01.760
<v Speaker 1>I love it the coolest. But I'll tell you what,

0:31:01.800 --> 0:31:04.080
<v Speaker 1>I think that the biggest hit that I ever heard,

0:31:04.680 --> 0:31:08.800
<v Speaker 1>um don't look back in anger by God? I heard

0:31:08.840 --> 0:31:12.160
<v Speaker 1>that drunkenly catterwaled so many times I can hear the

0:31:12.200 --> 0:31:16.440
<v Speaker 1>crousers now. So they have music boxes that played don't

0:31:16.440 --> 0:31:22.040
<v Speaker 1>Look back in gold Encrusted. They've like repurposed Faberge eggs

0:31:22.080 --> 0:31:25.040
<v Speaker 1>that when you open it, but it plays like it

0:31:25.040 --> 0:31:27.440
<v Speaker 1>has like a little chip that plays the MIDI version

0:31:27.480 --> 0:31:31.640
<v Speaker 1>of it. Yeah, that's that's basically what the value. Personally,

0:31:31.680 --> 0:31:33.920
<v Speaker 1>I would have a fabric egg played wonder but that's

0:31:33.960 --> 0:31:36.240
<v Speaker 1>just it's just you this there's a little song called

0:31:36.280 --> 0:31:39.880
<v Speaker 1>wonder Wall. The cops, of course, getting back to the heist,

0:31:41.000 --> 0:31:43.480
<v Speaker 1>the cops think it's a total inside job. Does it

0:31:43.520 --> 0:31:46.400
<v Speaker 1>makes sense we would know all these three jewelers, I'm

0:31:46.400 --> 0:31:49.440
<v Speaker 1>telling you the cops now, the cops. Now. The public

0:31:50.080 --> 0:31:54.800
<v Speaker 1>really excited about this, and the public is like, you

0:31:54.840 --> 0:32:00.160
<v Speaker 1>know what International Crime Keeper solved? Done international? And there

0:32:00.160 --> 0:32:03.440
<v Speaker 1>were suggestions that it was work of the Balkans based

0:32:03.600 --> 0:32:08.320
<v Speaker 1>Pink Panther gang. Oh they are awesome right so close

0:32:08.360 --> 0:32:13.160
<v Speaker 1>it was the Great Panthers know only one color. The

0:32:13.240 --> 0:32:15.920
<v Speaker 1>tabloids were kind of stoking the idea that there was

0:32:15.960 --> 0:32:20.400
<v Speaker 1>an Ocean's eleven scenario. They figured that they most certainly

0:32:20.480 --> 0:32:25.400
<v Speaker 1>used a contortionist at some point, A lot of them

0:32:25.440 --> 0:32:27.680
<v Speaker 1>has to be. I've seen how how this plays out

0:32:27.680 --> 0:32:31.880
<v Speaker 1>in the movies Pportionist. They need a Americans and movie

0:32:31.880 --> 0:32:35.120
<v Speaker 1>star was always eating um, and they need possibly a

0:32:35.120 --> 0:32:38.320
<v Speaker 1>bad British actor. Yes, all all of them. They I'm

0:32:38.320 --> 0:32:40.480
<v Speaker 1>sure they had like composites drawn out and it was

0:32:40.560 --> 0:32:43.560
<v Speaker 1>just the cast. It was just the like movie poster,

0:32:44.960 --> 0:32:48.800
<v Speaker 1>not just Scott call and they arrested Scott can back

0:32:48.840 --> 0:32:51.479
<v Speaker 1>point and he's like, I've been in l A this

0:32:51.480 --> 0:32:53.880
<v Speaker 1>whole time. Um. There were a lot of people who

0:32:53.920 --> 0:32:56.160
<v Speaker 1>thought it was like not the Pink Panther gang, but

0:32:56.200 --> 0:32:59.760
<v Speaker 1>like an elite, elite correct team of thieves from either

0:33:00.040 --> 0:33:03.760
<v Speaker 1>stern Europe or Israel. About this often they open throw

0:33:03.800 --> 0:33:05.960
<v Speaker 1>that out there, like, oh, some some oligarch got robbed

0:33:07.320 --> 0:33:12.680
<v Speaker 1>exactly exactly. That was a good theory. Well, so the

0:33:12.680 --> 0:33:16.880
<v Speaker 1>world famous London Metropolitan Police Flying Squad was called in.

0:33:17.280 --> 0:33:19.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry that just always sounds like a money python bit, right.

0:33:21.120 --> 0:33:23.520
<v Speaker 1>You know, they handle all the organized crime stuff, the

0:33:23.520 --> 0:33:25.280
<v Speaker 1>big robberies. You know, we're going to meet him a

0:33:25.280 --> 0:33:27.880
<v Speaker 1>lot in this podcast. We probably will. And the flying

0:33:28.000 --> 0:33:30.760
<v Speaker 1>is because they're the catch all. They go everywhere, right, Yeah,

0:33:30.800 --> 0:33:33.800
<v Speaker 1>they go everywhere. But also it's because they had cars

0:33:33.840 --> 0:33:36.680
<v Speaker 1>I think before other units they like fly down the

0:33:36.760 --> 0:33:40.280
<v Speaker 1>street running over pedestrians, so they're not like flying nuns,

0:33:40.320 --> 0:33:44.120
<v Speaker 1>though they also had the power of flight themselves, as

0:33:44.200 --> 0:33:47.200
<v Speaker 1>God granted them. Um, do you remember those two CCTV

0:33:47.400 --> 0:33:51.000
<v Speaker 1>cameras at Basil, miss? How could I forget them? On

0:33:51.160 --> 0:33:55.120
<v Speaker 1>those where a footage of a Mercedes E two hundred

0:33:55.320 --> 0:33:58.320
<v Speaker 1>driving off as a white Mercedes with a black roof

0:33:58.360 --> 0:34:01.880
<v Speaker 1>and like alloy rims fly flashy number, probably easy to

0:34:01.880 --> 0:34:05.760
<v Speaker 1>pick up. Whose car do you think that was Governor's girlfriend? Kenny?

0:34:06.120 --> 0:34:13.759
<v Speaker 1>Kenny Kenny? Because Kenny his own car and steal a

0:34:13.840 --> 0:34:16.160
<v Speaker 1>car bro if, he like brought his car and parked

0:34:16.200 --> 0:34:18.239
<v Speaker 1>it there and then they did their heist and he

0:34:18.320 --> 0:34:20.399
<v Speaker 1>drove everyone home in the van and then he must

0:34:20.400 --> 0:34:23.919
<v Speaker 1>have like ditched the van and caught a taxi. I'm like, yeah,

0:34:23.960 --> 0:34:26.360
<v Speaker 1>just dropped me over by the by that Mercedes and

0:34:26.360 --> 0:34:29.759
<v Speaker 1>he's like drifting off in the back of a cab. Um.

0:34:30.040 --> 0:34:32.480
<v Speaker 1>You know he drove there and back in his own

0:34:32.520 --> 0:34:37.520
<v Speaker 1>car because he's Kenny. Um. There's footage not only of

0:34:37.520 --> 0:34:40.920
<v Speaker 1>the Mercedes, there's footage of Basil walking away from the

0:34:40.960 --> 0:34:46.239
<v Speaker 1>scene with a large bag over his shoulder. I don't

0:34:46.239 --> 0:34:48.160
<v Speaker 1>know if it had a huge dollar sign or like

0:34:48.200 --> 0:34:51.440
<v Speaker 1>a bound sign on. It was wearing stripes in a burglars.

0:34:51.719 --> 0:34:54.040
<v Speaker 1>He had the burglar mask on and he was tiptoe

0:34:55.200 --> 0:35:00.359
<v Speaker 1>yeah and snickering. That was on the CCTV to it age.

0:35:00.560 --> 0:35:03.279
<v Speaker 1>So the cops are like, all right, these guys, and

0:35:03.360 --> 0:35:08.239
<v Speaker 1>they tail them for days. Um, they gather enough like

0:35:08.320 --> 0:35:11.640
<v Speaker 1>so that they can bug the Mercedes, they bug another car.

0:35:12.160 --> 0:35:14.400
<v Speaker 1>They're tailing these guys. They know exactly where they are.

0:35:14.600 --> 0:35:17.000
<v Speaker 1>They film them going about their business, you know, popping

0:35:17.000 --> 0:35:21.200
<v Speaker 1>out for points, strolls in the park, going to Sainsbury's

0:35:21.239 --> 0:35:27.640
<v Speaker 1>and buying custard Sundry's I don't know, Uh, going to Greg's,

0:35:27.680 --> 0:35:33.400
<v Speaker 1>the baker. Um that they're talking the entire time for

0:35:33.480 --> 0:35:37.880
<v Speaker 1>more batteries for their hearing it exactly exactly every little counts,

0:35:37.960 --> 0:35:40.640
<v Speaker 1>So they're talking the whole time. They won't shut up

0:35:40.640 --> 0:35:43.920
<v Speaker 1>about this. Uh, they're bragging about how they did it

0:35:44.400 --> 0:35:47.960
<v Speaker 1>to like anyone who will listen to the victory lap

0:35:48.000 --> 0:35:52.200
<v Speaker 1>on now like this is if I did it. They're

0:35:52.200 --> 0:35:55.160
<v Speaker 1>talking about what they took, how they're going to move

0:35:55.200 --> 0:35:58.759
<v Speaker 1>this stuff. Who's gonna fence, like how what are they

0:35:58.760 --> 0:36:00.600
<v Speaker 1>going to spend their money on? One? Guys like I'm

0:36:00.600 --> 0:36:04.080
<v Speaker 1>going to put it towards my pension um. Basically, they

0:36:04.120 --> 0:36:09.960
<v Speaker 1>just keep repeatedly incriminating them everyone. Here is my absolute

0:36:09.960 --> 0:36:14.480
<v Speaker 1>favorite part. So they're speaking in like a thick Eastender

0:36:14.560 --> 0:36:19.000
<v Speaker 1>London dialect, like their accent, and they're using Cockney rhyming slang.

0:36:19.520 --> 0:36:23.640
<v Speaker 1>My god, I love Cockney rhyming slang. It is absolutely

0:36:23.640 --> 0:36:26.279
<v Speaker 1>the best, and I think Richie does a pretty good

0:36:26.320 --> 0:36:28.399
<v Speaker 1>job of getting it to the American audience. How how

0:36:28.400 --> 0:36:30.959
<v Speaker 1>fun and how common it is. Like basically they're going

0:36:30.960 --> 0:36:33.080
<v Speaker 1>out of their way to say more in order to

0:36:33.120 --> 0:36:37.719
<v Speaker 1>convey less. So they're rhyming two word phrases, combinations or

0:36:37.760 --> 0:36:41.080
<v Speaker 1>whatever to use you know, standard for something mundane. Like

0:36:41.120 --> 0:36:43.880
<v Speaker 1>an example would be if I say apples and pears,

0:36:44.080 --> 0:36:47.279
<v Speaker 1>I mean stairs because it rhyme. Yeah, so instead of

0:36:47.320 --> 0:36:49.400
<v Speaker 1>saying I walked up the stairs, I walked up the

0:36:49.400 --> 0:36:52.960
<v Speaker 1>apples and pears. What do you um? Or if you

0:36:53.000 --> 0:36:56.279
<v Speaker 1>say barney rubble, it means trouble, trouble one yeah, Okay,

0:36:56.360 --> 0:36:57.640
<v Speaker 1>let me give you a couple of these. You tell

0:36:57.680 --> 0:37:00.600
<v Speaker 1>me if you know what they mean. Bees and honey,

0:37:00.640 --> 0:37:06.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm going with money. Yes, lady, good diver over. I

0:37:06.680 --> 0:37:09.080
<v Speaker 1>don't know a good diver. I got to think in

0:37:09.080 --> 0:37:13.360
<v Speaker 1>an accent lady could diver? I can't think of it.

0:37:13.480 --> 0:37:24.000
<v Speaker 1>Fiver forget that Irish pig a cop oh sorry, rhymrish pig,

0:37:24.600 --> 0:37:29.360
<v Speaker 1>a jig, a wig like a chucky fright wig. Sweeney

0:37:29.440 --> 0:37:36.640
<v Speaker 1>todd Um Hot bod close, that's like so eighties and

0:37:36.680 --> 0:37:39.840
<v Speaker 1>anyone says like hot bod. I'm imagining like a lady

0:37:39.960 --> 0:37:42.680
<v Speaker 1>in like one of those bathing suits from the eighties

0:37:42.680 --> 0:37:45.440
<v Speaker 1>where the leg the leg hole goes with it like

0:37:45.520 --> 0:37:49.680
<v Speaker 1>string tops. That's all sort of like lcro, like shimmery

0:37:50.320 --> 0:37:53.480
<v Speaker 1>hot bod. I've been watching old Magna Pas lately and

0:37:54.040 --> 0:37:56.279
<v Speaker 1>I have to say that some of those outfit combinations

0:37:56.320 --> 0:37:58.200
<v Speaker 1>that women would wear in the eighties were like the

0:37:58.280 --> 0:38:01.239
<v Speaker 1>neon or the neaprene, Like it's about the fabric and

0:38:01.239 --> 0:38:03.520
<v Speaker 1>the color. And then I'm like, that's wild. And then

0:38:03.560 --> 0:38:05.759
<v Speaker 1>all of a sudden TC comes by and he's got

0:38:05.800 --> 0:38:08.440
<v Speaker 1>on pants so tight you would think he was pimping.

0:38:09.360 --> 0:38:14.000
<v Speaker 1>And there's short short rightly manu p is like he

0:38:14.200 --> 0:38:17.800
<v Speaker 1>was throwing out the bottom. Yes exactly. He had some plums.

0:38:18.719 --> 0:38:21.319
<v Speaker 1>I didn't realize, like you know, watching them now is

0:38:21.360 --> 0:38:24.080
<v Speaker 1>like a lot of my fashion choices came from this show,

0:38:24.760 --> 0:38:28.040
<v Speaker 1>and I'm really questioning them. I like, how I'm convinced

0:38:28.040 --> 0:38:30.960
<v Speaker 1>you were short shorts and you don't even short. I

0:38:31.000 --> 0:38:34.560
<v Speaker 1>owned one pair of shorts and they aren't short shorts. Well,

0:38:34.800 --> 0:38:37.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, maybe someone will break in and cut cut

0:38:37.200 --> 0:38:41.320
<v Speaker 1>your pants. Yeah, we'll find out, you tell me. Anyway,

0:38:41.360 --> 0:38:45.040
<v Speaker 1>Sweeney Todd does not mean hot bud okay, fair enough.

0:38:45.239 --> 0:38:50.560
<v Speaker 1>It means flying squad. Oh right. I could have probably

0:38:50.600 --> 0:38:53.879
<v Speaker 1>been to get pitched by the Sweeney Todd. So these danglings,

0:38:54.200 --> 0:38:56.719
<v Speaker 1>one of them were an Irish pig to lift some

0:38:57.120 --> 0:39:00.880
<v Speaker 1>tomfoolery at the school jewel. There you go, and you

0:39:00.920 --> 0:39:04.479
<v Speaker 1>got pinched by the Sweeney Todd flying squads. So good,

0:39:04.800 --> 0:39:09.359
<v Speaker 1>the hot bods flying spot. The cops had to translate

0:39:09.480 --> 0:39:14.080
<v Speaker 1>the transcripts. This is what I love. So they're all

0:39:14.120 --> 0:39:17.560
<v Speaker 1>talking in this like you know, gobblede cook. And then

0:39:17.600 --> 0:39:19.919
<v Speaker 1>they have to write out the transcripts because you can't

0:39:19.960 --> 0:39:21.840
<v Speaker 1>just go to court and me like, well, they said,

0:39:21.840 --> 0:39:25.160
<v Speaker 1>they you know we're gonna wear a Irish pig. No,

0:39:25.480 --> 0:39:28.520
<v Speaker 1>so it all has written out and it took them.

0:39:28.680 --> 0:39:31.879
<v Speaker 1>It was a really difficult task to bring it from

0:39:32.040 --> 0:39:35.720
<v Speaker 1>Cockney into the Queen's English. And there are people involved.

0:39:35.800 --> 0:39:38.120
<v Speaker 1>There's a lawyer involved who compared it to work done

0:39:38.120 --> 0:39:43.160
<v Speaker 1>by Shakespearean scholars. It was the time investment you had

0:39:43.200 --> 0:39:48.360
<v Speaker 1>to have specialized. In the middle of all this rhyming slang,

0:39:48.400 --> 0:39:52.040
<v Speaker 1>they mentioned someone named Basil and they're just like that

0:39:52.680 --> 0:39:55.040
<v Speaker 1>is that? Yeah? And they're like, is this reference to

0:39:55.360 --> 0:39:59.000
<v Speaker 1>Basil Towers from Alti Towers or Dazzle from gem and

0:39:59.040 --> 0:40:03.080
<v Speaker 1>the Holograms? Was Gem in on? This is all of

0:40:03.120 --> 0:40:06.560
<v Speaker 1>this animated and not real anything. They're really questioning their

0:40:06.600 --> 0:40:10.640
<v Speaker 1>own existence at this point. So a month and a

0:40:10.680 --> 0:40:17.440
<v Speaker 1>half after you know, all of this, may the police

0:40:17.760 --> 0:40:20.560
<v Speaker 1>raid the homes and the known locations of the gang,

0:40:21.239 --> 0:40:24.480
<v Speaker 1>and you know, they then also couldn't keep their traps

0:40:24.480 --> 0:40:28.839
<v Speaker 1>shut and immediately start talking. Being under police, the cops

0:40:28.880 --> 0:40:30.080
<v Speaker 1>hall of them in they're like, all right, I'll tell

0:40:30.080 --> 0:40:32.480
<v Speaker 1>you everything. What do you want to know? So Danny,

0:40:32.560 --> 0:40:35.759
<v Speaker 1>Kenny and Terry they're caught at Terry's daughter's house just

0:40:35.840 --> 0:40:39.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, hanging out around a smelter in the dining room,

0:40:39.360 --> 0:40:42.719
<v Speaker 1>melting down millions of dollars worth of precious metals in

0:40:42.840 --> 0:40:46.320
<v Speaker 1>a dining room. They haven't on the table smoking. Chemicals

0:40:46.360 --> 0:40:50.759
<v Speaker 1>are releasing, but you know you're just chilling, melting down,

0:40:51.040 --> 0:40:54.080
<v Speaker 1>melting down gold. You have to repaint those walls. The

0:40:54.120 --> 0:40:57.960
<v Speaker 1>governor has busted at home. He wasn't there. Um. They

0:40:58.000 --> 0:41:01.600
<v Speaker 1>found lots of diamond related and eminating items though. At

0:41:01.640 --> 0:41:05.000
<v Speaker 1>the governor's place, a diamond tester was that like a

0:41:05.040 --> 0:41:08.279
<v Speaker 1>person from Calabasas, California. There's a little guy in a

0:41:08.320 --> 0:41:10.560
<v Speaker 1>cage that they make him know it said, like, I

0:41:10.600 --> 0:41:13.640
<v Speaker 1>don't know, you just test it. Like testing it's gonna

0:41:13.640 --> 0:41:16.719
<v Speaker 1>be the hardness kid a diamond gauge, so you can

0:41:16.760 --> 0:41:19.040
<v Speaker 1>get like the size of it. I suppose I don't.

0:41:19.120 --> 0:41:23.280
<v Speaker 1>I know nothing about diamonds. Diamond magazines, Oh yes, of course,

0:41:23.440 --> 0:41:27.960
<v Speaker 1>like Diamond Fancy, the sister publication of Cat Fancy Now,

0:41:28.560 --> 0:41:32.440
<v Speaker 1>and then a book on diamond crime, like the Underworld

0:41:32.520 --> 0:41:36.640
<v Speaker 1>of the Diamond Business. But here's another one of my

0:41:36.719 --> 0:41:42.800
<v Speaker 1>favorite details. At Danny's house, Danny, they find a book

0:41:43.000 --> 0:41:47.439
<v Speaker 1>that's called Forensics for Dummies, which I now, I really

0:41:47.480 --> 0:41:49.799
<v Speaker 1>need a copy of Forensics for Dummies. I'm just gonna

0:41:49.960 --> 0:41:54.440
<v Speaker 1>leave laying around, um, lying around, I should say, plus

0:41:54.840 --> 0:41:57.480
<v Speaker 1>they found face masks, a drill in cash. But mainly

0:41:57.520 --> 0:41:59.759
<v Speaker 1>it's the forensics for dummies. I love that there is

0:41:59.800 --> 0:42:02.440
<v Speaker 1>a called forensics for dumn Like is that for dummy

0:42:02.480 --> 0:42:04.279
<v Speaker 1>cops or for people who are like Danny trying to

0:42:04.280 --> 0:42:10.240
<v Speaker 1>get over? Is it like for the slow criminal justice

0:42:10.239 --> 0:42:17.960
<v Speaker 1>students there is? Or why not both? So in twenty September,

0:42:18.719 --> 0:42:21.920
<v Speaker 1>the four original Gangsters um they admit to the charge

0:42:21.920 --> 0:42:25.239
<v Speaker 1>of conspiracy to burgle, which is like, doesn't seem like

0:42:25.280 --> 0:42:28.200
<v Speaker 1>a big charge for what they've done, but you know,

0:42:28.280 --> 0:42:30.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what what it carries. I don't know either.

0:42:30.320 --> 0:42:33.399
<v Speaker 1>So Danny says he wants to come clean. He's got

0:42:33.400 --> 0:42:35.600
<v Speaker 1>his forensics for dummies. He's like, look, I just gotta

0:42:35.640 --> 0:42:37.680
<v Speaker 1>be honest. I'm gonna tell you where I stashed the loot?

0:42:37.920 --> 0:42:41.960
<v Speaker 1>Does he call it a boot the booty the give

0:42:42.000 --> 0:42:47.040
<v Speaker 1>a hit. He takes him to Edmondson Cemetery and he's

0:42:47.120 --> 0:42:49.759
<v Speaker 1>hidden like his little bag of getty's under a gravestone

0:42:49.760 --> 0:42:54.000
<v Speaker 1>of a family member, you know, thinking like he shows

0:42:54.080 --> 0:42:56.239
<v Speaker 1>them and he takes the cops and he's like, all right,

0:42:56.280 --> 0:42:59.600
<v Speaker 1>here's my here's my cut of it. And the cops though,

0:43:00.160 --> 0:43:03.000
<v Speaker 1>they had a question like why so you led us

0:43:03.040 --> 0:43:05.280
<v Speaker 1>to this and you say this is everything you got,

0:43:05.760 --> 0:43:07.520
<v Speaker 1>because like, did you know that a couple of days

0:43:07.520 --> 0:43:11.640
<v Speaker 1>ago we found a huge bag of similar loot about

0:43:12.080 --> 0:43:15.319
<v Speaker 1>sixty ft away from where we're standing now. So they

0:43:15.320 --> 0:43:19.160
<v Speaker 1>had already tagged him going to the cemetery before, and

0:43:19.160 --> 0:43:20.880
<v Speaker 1>they're like, well, let's check it out, and they find

0:43:20.880 --> 0:43:23.440
<v Speaker 1>like the big bag with a dollar sign on it.

0:43:23.640 --> 0:43:25.400
<v Speaker 1>Can you imagine his face when they told him that

0:43:26.880 --> 0:43:30.279
<v Speaker 1>they found the rest of this, So he's like, I

0:43:30.320 --> 0:43:34.760
<v Speaker 1>don't know anything about that, Okay, whatever. Danny Um. November,

0:43:35.560 --> 0:43:41.560
<v Speaker 1>the cops finally identify Basil Michael Seed and then the

0:43:41.640 --> 0:43:47.360
<v Speaker 1>next year, in March, Danny Kenny Teddy each sentence to

0:43:47.400 --> 0:43:52.560
<v Speaker 1>seven years the governor Brian Reader. He is like, he's

0:43:52.600 --> 0:43:55.240
<v Speaker 1>had two strokes, he's too sick to go to the hearing.

0:43:55.320 --> 0:43:59.160
<v Speaker 1>He gets six years, three months, so they really didn't

0:43:59.160 --> 0:44:01.799
<v Speaker 1>shave much off for leaving the scene and also for

0:44:01.880 --> 0:44:06.720
<v Speaker 1>being ill um. Two years later, Teddy dies in prison

0:44:06.760 --> 0:44:11.840
<v Speaker 1>at the age of sixty nine. Teddy or Terry Terry

0:44:11.960 --> 0:44:15.360
<v Speaker 1>Teddy Perkins is the Atlanta creepy character. Yeah, that's what

0:44:15.440 --> 0:44:18.040
<v Speaker 1>I was wondering, Yeah, it keeps sleeping into my consciousness.

0:44:18.120 --> 0:44:22.799
<v Speaker 1>Terry Terry. There's too many, too many diminutive Teddy Terry

0:44:22.880 --> 0:44:31.080
<v Speaker 1>Kenny Kenny the governor. He's released early obviously because of

0:44:31.080 --> 0:44:33.000
<v Speaker 1>his poor health, and he only served half of his

0:44:33.120 --> 0:44:37.879
<v Speaker 1>term to three years and change, as they say, March.

0:44:38.719 --> 0:44:42.000
<v Speaker 1>So a couple of months later, the police finally find

0:44:42.400 --> 0:44:45.560
<v Speaker 1>Basil's apartment and they rate it and they find just

0:44:45.880 --> 0:44:50.719
<v Speaker 1>under about two hundred thousand American dollars worth. It's like

0:44:52.000 --> 0:44:57.360
<v Speaker 1>dressing gowns. Uh. They find like two k gold gems

0:44:57.440 --> 0:45:00.680
<v Speaker 1>jewelry from the robbery in his flat. Um. They also

0:45:00.719 --> 0:45:03.880
<v Speaker 1>he has a bedroom workbench where he'd been melting down gold.

0:45:03.880 --> 0:45:07.440
<v Speaker 1>They're all inhaling these fumes because they don't care piecing

0:45:07.440 --> 0:45:10.200
<v Speaker 1>out the jewelry. Um. He said he had a jewelry business,

0:45:10.200 --> 0:45:17.120
<v Speaker 1>but there was no this is my business. How's Danny

0:45:17.200 --> 0:45:21.560
<v Speaker 1>Jones doing well? Augusten, He's sentenced to an additional six

0:45:21.600 --> 0:45:23.839
<v Speaker 1>and a half years because he hadn't paid anything back

0:45:23.920 --> 0:45:26.560
<v Speaker 1>yet six million pounds, so he just kept it and

0:45:26.560 --> 0:45:28.080
<v Speaker 1>said I'll do the time. He's like, I'll get it

0:45:28.120 --> 0:45:30.240
<v Speaker 1>to you later. And then they were like, where is it. Okay,

0:45:30.239 --> 0:45:34.120
<v Speaker 1>you have to go back in take another six Kenny Collins,

0:45:34.200 --> 0:45:37.279
<v Speaker 1>same thing. He doesn't pay it seven million pounds that

0:45:37.360 --> 0:45:39.359
<v Speaker 1>he stole, so he gets another six and a half.

0:45:39.520 --> 0:45:41.520
<v Speaker 1>So they get released after six years and have to

0:45:41.560 --> 0:45:43.960
<v Speaker 1>go back and do another y. Yeah, well no it

0:45:44.000 --> 0:45:46.239
<v Speaker 1>wasn't six full years after that, but it's you know,

0:45:46.320 --> 0:45:48.480
<v Speaker 1>it's like half their time. They get it tacked on

0:45:49.400 --> 0:45:53.040
<v Speaker 1>and so Basil he gets convicted of conspiracy to burgle

0:45:53.880 --> 0:45:58.000
<v Speaker 1>and money laundering. Ten years for Basil, I don't know,

0:45:58.360 --> 0:46:01.719
<v Speaker 1>God only anti fez hate. The governor didn't pay his

0:46:01.760 --> 0:46:03.879
<v Speaker 1>money back either, but they didn't give him more time

0:46:03.920 --> 0:46:06.560
<v Speaker 1>because his health was so bad, and they allowed him

0:46:06.600 --> 0:46:09.360
<v Speaker 1>to stay at home in the shabby Sheek mansion instead

0:46:09.400 --> 0:46:12.520
<v Speaker 1>of going back to finish his time. Most of this

0:46:12.600 --> 0:46:16.520
<v Speaker 1>loot has never been recovered. Only okay, so I remember

0:46:16.560 --> 0:46:18.080
<v Speaker 1>it was like a little It was a little over

0:46:18.120 --> 0:46:21.720
<v Speaker 1>thirteen million pounds. Only four and a half million pounds

0:46:21.719 --> 0:46:24.719
<v Speaker 1>has been accounted for. Nice, Yeah, they got away with that,

0:46:24.840 --> 0:46:27.920
<v Speaker 1>but not well, he still got away with it. So

0:46:28.400 --> 0:46:34.000
<v Speaker 1>what's your ridiculous takeaway here? My ridiculous takeaway is Basil

0:46:34.040 --> 0:46:37.960
<v Speaker 1>should have been running the job. It seems like he

0:46:38.040 --> 0:46:40.440
<v Speaker 1>really had it all together. The governor is a quitter.

0:46:40.880 --> 0:46:44.080
<v Speaker 1>Kenny was a terrible choice, but Basil, I trust a

0:46:44.080 --> 0:46:48.240
<v Speaker 1>man who sleeps in a face. Yeah right, um, I agree.

0:46:48.360 --> 0:46:52.839
<v Speaker 1>In my my takeaway, keep your mouth shut, do a dime,

0:46:53.480 --> 0:46:58.880
<v Speaker 1>keep your keep your mouth shut alright. So, uh that

0:46:58.880 --> 0:47:01.799
<v Speaker 1>that's all I have for you to day. I like

0:47:01.920 --> 0:47:04.319
