You know, it's ridiculous. 0:00:15.080 --> 0:00:20.840 Oh yes, actually I do. In in London, thieves, just 0:00:20.960 --> 0:00:23.520 normal thieves. They were out and they pounced on this 0:00:23.560 --> 0:00:25.319 person who was about to get in their car and 0:00:25.360 --> 0:00:27.120 they stole the car. And it turned out that the 0:00:27.160 --> 0:00:30.280 car was an ambulance and it was a very special 0:00:30.400 --> 0:00:35.880 kind of ambulance. This was an emergency circumcision ambulance. Yes, 0:00:35.920 --> 0:00:40.000 I need more information, girl, do you This emergency circumcision 0:00:40.040 --> 0:00:43.000 ambulance was also an Audi T T. And if you 0:00:43.040 --> 0:00:47.400 don't know sports cars, imagine a smooth backed German sports car. 0:00:47.600 --> 0:00:50.640 That is it the aud E T T. Now what's 0:00:50.680 --> 0:00:53.040 going on with the emergency circumcision that you need a 0:00:53.080 --> 0:00:56.120 sports car to get this kind of emergency? So many 0:00:56.240 --> 0:00:59.160 emergency circumcisions are there. We gotta get this baby cut 0:00:59.240 --> 0:01:03.000 stat I got a middle aged man and needs a circumcision. 0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:06.520 It's a reversal. I don't understand this. Yeah. Well, Also, 0:01:06.920 --> 0:01:10.440 while we're at it, I found a photo. So this 0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:14.479 is what it looks like. The EGENC. It was like 0:01:14.760 --> 0:01:18.200 when I open ah. No, the emergency circumcision ambulance is 0:01:18.240 --> 0:01:22.759 a green and yellow out e T T that is loud, loud, 0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:25.880 and you're not gonna miss it. No, not at all. 0:01:26.040 --> 0:01:27.920 I still, so, did you ever find out did you 0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:32.200 look into what this emergency circumcision thing is about? I 0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:35.039 could not find much. I was looking like on Vice 0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:37.840 UK in different places, and it's mostly people just covered 0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:40.520 the theft right and then finding the actual answer. It's 0:01:40.560 --> 0:01:42.720 just as medical response on it. So I couldn't find 0:01:42.720 --> 0:01:47.480 a company. I couldn't. So we need to go to 0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:52.960 London call and be like, hurry, we need a circumcision, 0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:57.480 hurry stats and then when they show up we interview them. Okay, 0:01:57.520 --> 0:02:01.200 I like this, don't The Italian police have like a 0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:04.720 Ferrari they use or something like that for I believe, 0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:08.480 I believe. And then the in Dubai they have almost 0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:11.080 an entire fleet of sports cars for the police because 0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:13.720 they had so many wealthy jerks who go out there 0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:15.640 and drive super fast in the desert that they needed 0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:17.840 their own supercars to catch them. So they have like 0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:21.840 mcclarens and Ferraris and Lamborghinis and like just a ton 0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:26.320 of like super supercars and the whole. The Italian one 0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:30.480 is to take organ donations. Oh yeah, that's actual. That's 0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:32.720 like the medical one the Ambulans talking about. I was 0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:36.040 going with the police. Yeah, well they're all the the 0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:41.280 I don't know authorities whatever they are. So yes, ridiculous 0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:46.079 emergency circumcision. Yes, so there you go, totally ridiculous. Um, 0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:49.720 I'll tell you what else is ridiculous. A bank heist 0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:53.960 that is a premonition, a preview of a later ridiculous 0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:58.160 bank heist. Wit, a premonition of a bank HAIs like 0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:21.400 a psychic kind of pition. Shall be foretold. This is 0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:26.560 Ridiculous Crime. A podcast about absurd and outrageous capers. He 0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:33.839 cons It's always murder free and one ridiculous damn right. 0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:38.320 Do you remember, Zaren when I told you about the 0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:42.320 Hatton Garden heist? Is back? Oh I love an old 0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:46.160 crew of bankrupt old age pensioners. They concocted a heist 0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:50.440 in busted into a vault full of gems and untold riches. 0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:54.760 Um story I want to tell you today is very similar, 0:03:54.920 --> 0:03:58.720 more criminal silver backs. Well, it's a bit of a crossover. 0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:02.040 It's sort of an origin story because we have a 0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:06.680 repeat offender. Were our first person to come back twice? Yeah? 0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:10.520 Did you know? Did you know they're recording us right now? Dave? 0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:16.120 What did you know that yet? Anyway, why would he 0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:18.640 do that? Well, we'll find out. So we have a 0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:23.240 repeat offender here. And do you remember the ringleader of 0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:27.680 the Hatton Gardens heist. Ringleader had a cool name he was. 0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:30.600 He had a car dealership in like a shabby sheek 0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:35.480 rambling home. Yes, yes, the Governor none other than Brian Reader. 0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:37.440 I couldn't think of that part of his name. I 0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:40.479 got the nicknames. So Brian Reader a k a. The 0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:44.360 Governor was one of the masterminds behind the crazy bank 0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:47.200 robbery that I'm going to tell you about today. And 0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:50.520 I need you to also note that the Governor denied 0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:56.120 any involvement at all in this one. So when we 0:04:56.160 --> 0:04:58.560 first met him, we were talking about twelve with the 0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:02.520 Hatton Gardens heist. This is different. This is nineteen seventy 0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:08.880 that he cooks this up. Oin Um. So he has 0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:12.679 this little gang going around stealings, doing those little stealings. 0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:17.600 One of the guys in his gang is named Anthony Gavin, 0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:21.240 you know, for his familiars. He was a photographer in 0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:24.800 his late thirties. At the time, he read a Sherlock 0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:29.240 Holmes short story written by Arthur Conan Doyle. Of course, 0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:33.640 another cross over here. It's just all woven together. It's 0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:36.560 called The Redheaded League. Oh yes, and this one, this 0:05:36.680 --> 0:05:41.000 was very inspirational to all detectives. Well, it inspired old 0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:44.839 Tony Gavin. In the story, the thieves tunnel into a vault, 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:46.880 but in the story they tunnel right into the arms 0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:49.920 of these detectives. So he's like, I can I can 0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:52.760 figure out a better way to do this. Now, another thing, 0:05:52.800 --> 0:05:55.719 I'd like you to note, the Holmes headquarters were on 0:05:55.760 --> 0:06:00.920 Baker Street right, correct, exactly. So An't has an idea. 0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:03.880 He figures out that he can pull off a tunnel 0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:07.160 heist way better than the crooks in the homes tale. 0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:09.760 You know, everyone always thinks they're smarter than everybody else. 0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:13.680 He took this idea to the governor, and the governor 0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:18.599 he had, Governor, Young Governor, that's my new rap name 0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:24.200 had recently suffered a head injury when he slipped and fell. Well, 0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:27.240 so I don't mean to laugh at recently head injury. 0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:32.520 Here's why we're laughing, because because head injuries are no 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:34.680 laughing matter, they can make a man strange for the 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:37.240 rest of his day. But the governor there were a 0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:40.479 lot of injuries involved in Hatton Gardens, and so that's 0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:45.480 why the bad luck was predetermined. So he slips and 0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:48.560 falls while he's escaping from a building that he's like 0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:51.240 scoping out a building for robbery. Someone catches sight of 0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:54.719 him and he's like runs and then boyk hits his 0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:58.559 head and has That's that's the sounds I just played 0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:01.840 on the recording. Um. So he couldn't he couldn't never 0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:05.839 get anything right. He's still though, with all his bumbling, 0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:09.040 he's stone cold. Oh yeah, he's a hard man. Have 0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:12.920 seen as a clown. He's a veteran criminal exactly, even 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:16.800 as a young man. So Gavin and the gov They 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:20.360 go and they get this guy, Reginald Tucker, and he's 0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:23.760 a reggie. He's a used car dealer. Um. And then 0:07:23.800 --> 0:07:27.160 also he would say that his car dealer, he would 0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:31.960 say sometimes that his job was a company director. That's vague. 0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:36.880 Then there's this other guy, Thomas Stevens. He's another used 0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:40.120 car dealer. Just the whole clan of don't forget the 0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:42.760 governor went and how to use car. I'm laughing, like 0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:44.160 all these guys are like, yeah, what do you do? 0:07:44.320 --> 0:07:46.040 I push used cars. I still use cars. I'm gonna 0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:50.360 use cars dealer. So Bobby Mills is another dude pushing 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:55.040 warm cars, not hot cars. Warm Gently's Bobby Mills is 0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:58.040 another friend of the governors, so they bring him into this. 0:07:58.560 --> 0:08:03.120 Then there's Mickey Skinny GERVAISI sounds like a boy band Tommy. 0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:10.480 Mickey Skinny is a burglar alarm expert. Okay, you need 0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:13.040 one of those always. Um. And then there are these 0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:17.119 two unidentified people to this day unidentified, one of whom 0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:21.400 was an explosives expert. This is totally Ocean's eleven. Yeah. 0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:24.960 It's also the Professionals Bank. It's everything. That's all the 0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:28.160 great like Gang Group movies, like, Okay, we need this professional, 0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:32.719 we need this expert. It's also you know, it's La 0:08:32.760 --> 0:08:35.280 La Land, which I don't know, I've never seen it. 0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:41.360 Oh that's the dancing oscar, the accidental whatever. Yeah. Um, okay. 0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:44.920 So these two other mystery guys. One is named little 0:08:45.000 --> 0:08:49.840 Legs and the other one is named th h that's 0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:53.880 all we know of now. The th h they it 0:08:54.040 --> 0:08:57.640 was rumored was connected with a really corrupt Scotland yard 0:08:57.840 --> 0:09:02.360 detective inspector. But it's all umor in supposition was to 0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:05.360 be like tight with bad guys, tight with a sort 0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:08.040 of good guy. Okay, okay, I'm with it. So this 0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:11.360 rag tag bunch they get together, they decide they're going 0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:15.160 to target the Baker Street branch of Lloyd's Bank on 0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:18.560 the corner of Baker Street and Marleybourne Road. Know what 0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:25.320 that means? Me too? At Baker Street. So December seven seventy, 0:09:26.240 --> 0:09:31.160 Reginald Tucker, car dealer slash company director. He goes into 0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:33.439 the bank and he opens a bank account with five 0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:37.720 pounds it's a good quantity of money. Then he uses 0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:41.680 the name G. Edwards, not his real name, and a 0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:45.040 fake home address to open this account. The bank doesn't 0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:48.240 check the references that he supplied. They didn't notice that 0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:50.520 the address that he gave was actually a news agent's, 0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:53.880 you know, like a New Stork store. Whatever. They're like, yeah, 0:09:53.880 --> 0:09:57.840 I have an account. Great. Two months later, Tucker goes 0:09:57.840 --> 0:10:00.280 and he gets a safe deposit box at the Bank Inc. 0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:05.079 At number three seventeen. If you're taking notes letters that 0:10:05.240 --> 0:10:08.880 cost as two pounds fifty pence a month. Okay, so 0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:11.280 like the rent for the safe positive to let it 0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:14.560 to let exactly. He didn't keep much in it, but 0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:17.719 it gave him access to the vault. Yes exactly, I'm 0:10:17.760 --> 0:10:20.120 with you. You know how easy how they do? So 0:10:20.200 --> 0:10:23.040 he'd sign in under his fake name and then they 0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:26.640 escort him to the vault two staff members Mr. Edwards. 0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:28.840 They'd used the two key thing and then they're like, 0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:30.120 you know what, We're going to leave you in this 0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:33.240 vault for your privacy, to look at your my little 0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:39.440 pony collection. There are some white gloves, all your precious memories. Um. 0:10:39.640 --> 0:10:41.640 And so Tucker would go in there and his job 0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:44.280 was like memorizing the inside of the vault, drawing up 0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:49.720 a plan, coming up with sematic. Yeah. So he'd go 0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:52.280 into the vault just like he's a businessman. He'd wear 0:10:52.320 --> 0:10:55.240 a bowler hat and a pinstripe suit. You gotta love 0:10:55.240 --> 0:10:57.640 a costume. He's looking like the guy from them Great Painting. 0:10:57.640 --> 0:10:59.719 He's coming in with a bowler and he's assisting this 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:03.679 puzz um. He would also carry an umbrella and he 0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:06.520 used that to measure the inside of the vaults. Okay, 0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:08.280 so I'm just picturing John Kleee doing all of this 0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:11.439 and it's really working for but also would probably look 0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:14.679 like a dance routine where he's like setting the umbrella up, 0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:18.079 taking some steps down. Like this poor guy has nowhere 0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:20.680 to rehearse, so he comes in here. It also turns 0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:23.080 out that the floor tiles were a standard nine inches 0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:27.120 each and that was super helpful, so makes measuring a snap. 0:11:27.960 --> 0:11:30.800 He Uh. He goes to the vault thirteen different times, 0:11:31.640 --> 0:11:34.480 and five times in the month before the heist, so 0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:37.880 he's just like constantly checking out his safe deposit box 0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:41.520 two times in the week before the heist. Now is 0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:43.079 this like a learning anything for the Bank of the 0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:47.880 don't this? This guy, he's a businessman, wants to come 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:50.320 and then just feel his my little pony ponies, you know, 0:11:50.360 --> 0:11:52.560 tips his hat to him and goes in there and 0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:55.720 looks through his dust, his jewels or whatever he does. Yeah, 0:11:55.720 --> 0:12:00.120 he has like old rinsed out yogurt containers. Did not 0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:03.240 but do you know, I picture everything, so now it's 0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:05.880 right there. You know, you're welcome, and he just like 0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:08.160 he looks at it and he remembers the good times. 0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:13.160 Such a good yo play Blueberry day. So that's what 0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:15.600 he's gotten his safe deploset box if he asked me. 0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:20.960 The vault at Lloyd's Bank Baker Street was built of 0:12:21.000 --> 0:12:24.000 reinforced concrete. It had two doors and it was behind 0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:27.360 a locked sliding grill, so you know it's pretty secure. 0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:30.720 The main door had an alarm and a lock that 0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:32.720 was set to a timer, so no one, not even 0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:35.559 the employees, could open it outside of normal business, so 0:12:35.640 --> 0:12:39.680 you better not get stuck in there. He checks this 0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:43.280 all out. They find out too, that the bottom was 0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:46.000 eighteen inches. There's also another source that I found that 0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:51.360 said it was three ft of double reinforced concrete. The floor, yeah, 0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:56.240 or the bottom as I call it. I was wondering, like, 0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:58.079 you know what, excuse me, I need to go vacuum 0:12:58.120 --> 0:13:01.240 the bottom from the walls of the bottom. You've been sweeping. 0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:07.400 The houses are rocking so impenetrable. They say, okay, And 0:13:07.440 --> 0:13:10.720 the bottom is not connected to an alarm system. The 0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:15.400 floor it was fancy, people call it the floor. No 0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:18.120 alarm system on the floor. Two doors down from the 0:13:18.120 --> 0:13:21.400 bank on Baker Street, there's a struggling leather good store. 0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:27.160 The store I just love struggling weather goods. You know, 0:13:27.200 --> 0:13:31.560 they're just trying to make the like, come on five, 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:34.440 the hobo bag. This is not what it used to 0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:37.960 be on the market. The store is called les Sack. See, 0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:42.560 this is why I'm thinking about that French. No, it's 0:13:42.559 --> 0:13:45.800 not sports sack. You know, that's all like the parachute material. 0:13:46.160 --> 0:13:50.080 Isn't this big in the eighties, But that's a different one. 0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:55.800 Sports sack. Oh, yes, I know you're talking about. It 0:13:55.920 --> 0:13:57.880 was a big eighties thing and I just am going 0:13:57.920 --> 0:14:00.600 to give a little bit of a reveal. Open up 0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:05.800 my world. That's the kind of wallet I can You're 0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:10.360 always and I'm so up to date. Anyway, Lasak going 0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:15.000 out of business. I'm so shocked. The basement of the 0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:17.439 shop was at the same level as the bank vault. 0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:19.680 This is going to be handy, yeah, and they were 0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:22.440 only they weren't next door though there's two doors down. 0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:26.360 They're separated by a fast food restaurant called Chicken In. 0:14:28.240 --> 0:14:30.080 Chicken In and don't want to know it comes out 0:14:30.400 --> 0:14:36.680 I n M. It's like a where salesman Chicken come 0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:39.000 down the ricken in town and you're in London and 0:14:39.000 --> 0:14:41.960 you're like, we're kind of good poultry like me find 0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:43.800 a home. They're like, come on in, and they just 0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:47.160 march them right into a fryar. It's a little bait 0:14:47.240 --> 0:14:51.320 and switch. The spot today is a taco bell. Oh 0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:55.560 a tradition going. Yeah, So the gang they recruit a 0:14:55.600 --> 0:15:00.200 recently bankrupt businessman named Benny Wolf. Okay, you're gonna like, 0:15:01.000 --> 0:15:02.760 you're gonna think I'm making this up or to be 0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:05.760 like that gonna be Burnett, But I swear to you 0:15:06.080 --> 0:15:08.240 this is pretty much the plot of a movie with 0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:11.440 ever g Robinson from the thirties, and he has a 0:15:11.520 --> 0:15:13.920 leather good store that they use its next door to 0:15:14.720 --> 0:15:16.680 to break in. They go through the basement of the 0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:19.720 leather good store. Are you kidding me? Like you're telling 0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:21.960 me that. I'm like, I've seen this. Maybe they wanted 0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:24.160 to sound smart by being like, oh, we got it 0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:26.280 from a short story. We were just sitting around reading. 0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:30.880 What is this film you talk about? No the cinema? Yeah, no, 0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:35.440 I think, well who knows? So he Benny Wolf convinces 0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:38.720 a former assistant of his named Molly Adams to put 0:15:38.720 --> 0:15:41.680 her name on the deed of the sack. He couldn't 0:15:41.680 --> 0:15:44.280 do it because he'd recently declared bankruptcy. So we have 0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:49.840 our legitimate businessman, who is a legitimate exactly. So August one, 0:15:50.160 --> 0:15:54.080 the purchase goes through, he gets the shop, gang goes in, 0:15:54.160 --> 0:15:56.440 they close up shop, they hang science. They're like, we're 0:15:56.440 --> 0:15:59.960 going to reopen later in September. So you know, neighbor, 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:09.720 it's eagerly remodeling. Come back soon. Friday, August the heist commences. 0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:14.240 So Stevens, who's the other car dealer. He'd been tasked 0:16:14.240 --> 0:16:16.720 with getting tools. He had to get a powerful jack. 0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:20.880 And what why are you laughing? You leveled your eyes 0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:25.600 and be powerful jack. I was just talking and a 0:16:25.760 --> 0:16:28.600 thermal lance. You get it again, so you can take 0:16:28.640 --> 0:16:31.080 it again. I don't even know what does the thermal lance. 0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:33.960 I actually I do know. I just like how you 0:16:34.000 --> 0:16:36.920 can change meetings just with your tone of void completely. 0:16:37.160 --> 0:16:38.800 That was the first essay I ever wrote, and you 0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:40.480 had like it was like sixth grade you had to 0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:43.480 write an essay. I wrote a whole like persuasion piece 0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:46.600 on how the tone can make anything sexual. I was 0:16:46.640 --> 0:16:49.440 not allowed to turn next grade six. Well, I wrote 0:16:49.480 --> 0:16:52.120 one in third grade, so sup about innuendo? You know? 0:16:52.160 --> 0:16:56.400 It was like, I'm so sorry for your teachers throughout 0:16:56.400 --> 0:17:00.480 the years. Oh yeah, as am I yeah. But Powerful 0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:03.200 Jack and Thermal Lance. Is that sounding familiar to you? 0:17:05.000 --> 0:17:11.280 It's time. Well it sounds like stars of a film, 0:17:11.400 --> 0:17:15.159 Powerful Jack and Thermal Lance because it's to Jack and 0:17:15.280 --> 0:17:20.399 Lance as her first names. I'm with you right there. 0:17:20.400 --> 0:17:22.480 I'm actually like, you know, who cares? Who knows? Listen. 0:17:23.359 --> 0:17:25.480 They're similar to the list of tools in the Hatton 0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:29.080 Garden Heights. It's very similar. Okay, So Bobby Mills, the 0:17:29.119 --> 0:17:31.959 one who is old friends with the governor, he chickens 0:17:32.000 --> 0:17:34.239 out at the last minute. Governor has a hard time. 0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:36.399 I mean, he just could not get good guys. He 0:17:36.480 --> 0:17:39.359 does not have good crew retention. But they convinced him, okay, 0:17:39.359 --> 0:17:41.680 be the lookout. He could do practice runs. Yeah, now 0:17:41.680 --> 0:17:43.800 I hope, like remember the lookout from Hatton. That's what 0:17:43.880 --> 0:17:47.439 I'm saying, all right. So also, remember I told you 0:17:47.480 --> 0:17:50.800 the governor had a head injury during his recent escape. Well, 0:17:51.320 --> 0:17:56.760 he's like, I can't dig head injury. I dented my brain, pan, 0:17:57.280 --> 0:18:00.440 I can't dig. So this is kind of shades of 0:18:00.560 --> 0:18:04.399 Kenny the diabetic from Patton Gardens. You know, they've all 0:18:04.440 --> 0:18:07.679 got these ailments. Now, let's take a break now that 0:18:07.720 --> 0:18:09.920 we've established all this, and when we come back, I'm 0:18:09.920 --> 0:18:12.119 going to tell you about how they set up their 0:18:12.160 --> 0:18:34.960 little plan. Hey Aaron, Hey, I'm back. My name is 0:18:35.000 --> 0:18:40.840 Thermal Lance and I am powerful jock. That's where I 0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:43.040 think if we ever have to go somewhere and like 0:18:43.160 --> 0:18:48.080 sign in as something like drewry Duty, Oh no, it's 0:18:48.119 --> 0:18:50.440 not Elizabeth and it's Thermal Lance, they're like, oh, sorry, 0:18:50.480 --> 0:18:55.320 we got the wrong personal he and I'll walk away. 0:18:56.960 --> 0:19:00.000 What was I talking about? Baker Street, Yes, the robbery 0:19:00.760 --> 0:19:07.720 and the Yeah, okay, so Gavin the homes fan, Tucker, 0:19:07.920 --> 0:19:10.920 the guy who did the whole vault measuring, and then 0:19:10.960 --> 0:19:15.359 one of the unnamed members. Yeah, they drilled through les 0:19:15.480 --> 0:19:19.800 Saks six inch concrete floor and then they hit Clay 0:19:19.840 --> 0:19:24.480 So next door chicken In. Um, not like Bobby Mills 0:19:24.480 --> 0:19:31.000 who was Chicken out. Hey, uh so the digger guys 0:19:31.119 --> 0:19:34.640 they realized that chicken In's foundation wall was actually lower 0:19:34.840 --> 0:19:37.639 than they had realized, so they had to dig under 0:19:37.680 --> 0:19:40.880 and around that before they got to the vault. Like 0:19:41.560 --> 0:19:44.240 you know, the I think chicken In is more heavily 0:19:44.280 --> 0:19:47.359 reinforced than Lloyd's Bank. Yeah, sounds like it. And they 0:19:47.520 --> 0:19:49.359 kind of take their stuff. So when you're taking the 0:19:49.400 --> 0:19:54.200 chickens to their final reward, you wanted solid um. Gavin 0:19:54.640 --> 0:19:57.199 was apparently in super good shape. I guess he was 0:19:57.240 --> 0:20:02.200 also like a part time physical therapist. They had the um. 0:20:02.200 --> 0:20:05.320 He did most of the work and he was like, 0:20:05.400 --> 0:20:08.280 I'm pretty confident. He wore tight T shirts, no T 0:20:08.359 --> 0:20:13.760 shirt at all. Top. He later said that he lost 0:20:13.800 --> 0:20:18.119 almost two stones twenty eight pounds twelve or fourteen pounds. 0:20:18.119 --> 0:20:20.800 I can never remember water weight. Did he lose a limb? 0:20:22.560 --> 0:20:26.119 I So remember they get started on a Friday. They 0:20:26.200 --> 0:20:28.760 keep digging till Monday morning, and then they're like, okay, 0:20:28.760 --> 0:20:31.080 you know what, let's let's keep going next weekend. Let's 0:20:31.080 --> 0:20:34.760 take a break. This is our weekend gig um, very 0:20:34.800 --> 0:20:37.160 big weekend project. It takes, you know, digging a hole 0:20:37.200 --> 0:20:40.359 takes a long time. You always see on TV and 0:20:40.400 --> 0:20:43.320 movies there's like a criminal digs a grave for someone. 0:20:43.359 --> 0:20:48.320 It's all clean, smooth walls six ft deep. That's not reality, 0:20:48.400 --> 0:20:50.520 no no, and they do it in like an hour, 0:20:51.160 --> 0:20:52.760 you know, or what's supposed to be in our you 0:20:52.800 --> 0:20:55.760 know that a TV show that's guilty of this, Sons 0:20:55.760 --> 0:20:59.040 of anarchy, oh, yeah, the fastest hole diggers in the world. Yeah, 0:20:59.080 --> 0:21:01.840 they like toss someone to shovel and then they cut 0:21:01.880 --> 0:21:04.679 to them in an undershirt, like wiping their forehead with 0:21:04.720 --> 0:21:07.440 their arms as they stand in that perfectly chiseled out, 0:21:08.119 --> 0:21:11.240 super deep hole. Um, and then there's always a pile 0:21:11.240 --> 0:21:13.040 of dirt next to it that in no way is 0:21:13.080 --> 0:21:15.560 the same volume as the amount of dirt, but it 0:21:15.600 --> 0:21:17.880 definitely looks like an industrial equipment had lifted it out 0:21:17.920 --> 0:21:19.959 of the hole and piled it there. And then they 0:21:20.000 --> 0:21:21.880 like toss them in and they're like, okay, fill it up, 0:21:21.920 --> 0:21:24.160 you know, and whatever. If they did that in real life, 0:21:24.200 --> 0:21:27.760 it would be sort of this rounded, lumpy thing that's 0:21:27.760 --> 0:21:32.920 like three f three weeks later. Yeah, anyway, they come back, 0:21:32.920 --> 0:21:35.840 they go to work next weekend. They dug a forty 0:21:35.920 --> 0:21:40.520 foot twelve inch by fourteen inch tunnel under the vault. 0:21:41.200 --> 0:21:43.680 Twelve inch Wait, that doesn't seem big enough for people, 0:21:44.200 --> 0:21:48.119 but that's what I read, and so the tunnel was 0:21:48.200 --> 0:21:51.200 called a remarkable piece of engineering during the later trial. 0:21:51.320 --> 0:21:53.040 It had to be bigger than that, otherwise they're like 0:21:53.119 --> 0:21:58.919 slithering through turned shoulder and I separated shoulders two ft 0:21:58.920 --> 0:22:01.399 by four feet makes me comfortable. Let's go with that. 0:22:02.320 --> 0:22:04.560 You know, it doesn't really matter. They dug a tunnel 0:22:05.119 --> 0:22:09.480 um who knows, who cares the crew. They also carved 0:22:09.480 --> 0:22:12.520 out of space seven ft wide and five ft high 0:22:12.680 --> 0:22:17.119 directly under the vault's workable. Yeah, and that's where they 0:22:17.119 --> 0:22:23.440 could work. They set up the jack, the powerful jack um, 0:22:24.320 --> 0:22:27.160 a couple of railway ties that I suppose they brought 0:22:27.160 --> 0:22:33.159 with railway ties. That's like, I guess pieces of the 0:22:33.200 --> 0:22:35.600 ground that was like too wet to support the pressure 0:22:35.600 --> 0:22:38.159 of the drilling and the ties kept sinking into the ground. 0:22:39.119 --> 0:22:44.040 We have some so siden's issues. They also tried using 0:22:44.080 --> 0:22:47.400 the thermal leaves um, but it too could not break 0:22:47.440 --> 0:22:50.760 through the concrete. Yeah, so they're like, guess what, all right, 0:22:50.800 --> 0:22:53.080 we're running out of time. Let's go next weekend into this, 0:22:53.359 --> 0:22:55.840 so we'll regroup. Are they going to have to hit 0:22:55.920 --> 0:23:00.800 up a home improvement big box store? Oh no, I mean, 0:23:00.840 --> 0:23:03.600 I'm figuring the best way for them at this point 0:23:03.680 --> 0:23:06.560 is is to reconsider the use of tools like maybe 0:23:06.600 --> 0:23:09.879 some explosives. Ha ha ha. See you should have been 0:23:09.960 --> 0:23:14.040 running this from the beginning, right, so check it out. 0:23:14.200 --> 0:23:17.200 It's taken them through weekends. They're able to dig down 0:23:17.240 --> 0:23:20.240 there below the vault. The tools aren't working. It's too 0:23:20.320 --> 0:23:24.840 damp with chicken grease. So they call in the explosives expert. 0:23:25.080 --> 0:23:27.639 Nice shape charges, that's your answer. I'm gonna go ahead 0:23:27.680 --> 0:23:30.280 and say that that guy was little legs. Yeah, just 0:23:30.359 --> 0:23:37.119 like that, and he dorfon explosives, little legs. He gets 0:23:37.160 --> 0:23:42.320 some gelic knight. Okay, jelic knight. Hey Elizabeth, what's gelic knight? 0:23:43.800 --> 0:23:45.399 Acting like you know, I'm gonna play it cool, like, 0:23:45.400 --> 0:23:47.640 oh yeah, jelic knight. That's that's the right choice. That's 0:23:47.680 --> 0:23:50.600 what I go with. It's either thermite or what you 0:23:50.720 --> 0:23:57.440 say or boom boom powder um well. Wikipedia defines gelic knight, 0:23:57.720 --> 0:24:01.800 also known as blasting gelatine or simply jelly. Are you 0:24:01.840 --> 0:24:03.800 ready for this, Cheli? I don't think I can handle 0:24:03.800 --> 0:24:06.400 this kind of heat? They say. It's an explosive material 0:24:06.520 --> 0:24:11.399 consisting of colade in cotton dissolved in either nitroglycerin or 0:24:11.520 --> 0:24:15.520 nitro glycol and mixed with wood, pulp and salt peter. 0:24:16.200 --> 0:24:19.360 It was invented in eighteen seventy five by Swedish chemist 0:24:19.720 --> 0:24:22.560 Alfred Nobel Oh on his way to T and T. 0:24:23.080 --> 0:24:27.040 Also invented the dynamite in today's society. Now that I'm 0:24:27.080 --> 0:24:30.240 doing all the bad essay things. I had an uncle 0:24:30.240 --> 0:24:32.119 who taught me how to make explosives out of like 0:24:32.400 --> 0:24:36.160 common household ingredients like styrofoam and stuff, And this one 0:24:36.200 --> 0:24:37.960 sounds a lot like a recipe he taught me. I'm 0:24:38.000 --> 0:24:41.320
