- WOMAN: Good morning.
- DANNY: Morning.

Please state your
name for the Record.

Daniel Ocean.

Thank you.

Mr. Ocean, The purpose of this
hearing is to determine...

...whether, if released, you are
likely to break the law again.

While this was your first conviction,
you have been implicated,

...though never charged,

...in over a dozen other
confidence schemes and frauds.

What can you tell us about this?

As you say, ma'am,
I was never charged.

MAN: Mr. Ocean, what we're
trying to find out is...

...was there a reason you
chose to commit this crime...

...or was there a reason why you
simply got caught this time?

My wife left me. I was upset.
I got into a self-destructive pattern.

WOMAN 2: If released,
is it likely you..

Would fall back into
a similar pattern?

She already left me once.

I don't think she'll do
it again just for kicks.

WOMAN 1: Mr. Ocean,

what do you think you
would do if released?

Why?

You have a plan already?

Are you kidding?
I just became a citizen again.

Officer Brooks, this
is Danny Ocean.

I was told to contact
you within 24 hours.

No, sir, I haven't been

No, sir, I haven't been drinking.

No, sir, I wouldn't even think

I am bored.

So, how was the clink?
You get the cookies I sent?

Why do you think I
came to see you first?

- So tell me.
- It's tricky.

It's never been done before.
It'll need planning and a large crew.

- Guns?
- Not exactly.

Lot of security.
But the take...

- What's the target?
- Eight figures each.

What's the target?

When was the last time
you were in Vegas?

What? You want to
knock over a casino?

DANNY:
The vault at the Bellagio.

RUSTY: Well, If I'm reading this
right, and I like to think I am...

...this is probably the least
accessible vault ever designed.

Yep.

You said three casinos?

These feed into the cages at the Mirage and
MGM Grand, but every dime ends up there.

The Bellagio and the Mirage.

These are Terry
Benedict's places.

Yes, they are.

- You think he'll mind?
- More than somewhat.

You'd need at least a dozen guys
doing a combination of cons.

Like what, you think?

Well, off the top of my head,
I'd say you're looking at..

...a Boesky, a Jim Brown...

...a Miss Daisy, Two
Jethros, and a Leon Spinks.

Not to mention the biggest
Ella Fitzgerald ever.

Where do you think you're gonna
get the money to back this?

We're hitting these three casinos,
we'll get our bankroll.

Benedict's got a long
list of enemies.

Yeah, but enemies with loose
cash and nothing to lose?

Ahh...

- Reuben.
- Reuben.

SECURITY GUARD: Hey.

DANNY: Oscar, lower it a bit,
would you?

Sorry. You guys done up here?
Find what you want?

We'll take these home for the night
to make some copies, if it's all right?

- Whatever you need.
- Appreciate it.

What?

I need a reason.

And don't say money.
Why do this?

Why not do it?

Because yesterday I walked
out of the joint after...

...losing four years of my life,

and you're cold-decking
'Teen Beat' cover boys.

Because the house always wins.

You play long enough, never changing
stakes, the house takes you.

Unless, when that perfect hand
comes around, you bet big.

And then you take the house.

You're been practicing
that speech,

- haven't you?
- A little bit. Did I rush it?

- It felt like I rushed it.
- No, it was good. I like it.

The 'Teen Beat' thing was harsh.

I wonder what Reuben will say.

REUBEN: You're out
of your goddamn minds!

Are you listening to me?

You're both of you nuts!

I know more about casino security
than any man alive. I invented it.

And it cannot be beaten.

They got cameras, they got
watchers, they got locks...

...they got timers,
they got vaults.

They got enough armed
personnel to occupy Paris!

Okay, bad example.

It's never been tried.

Oh, "it's never been tried"!
It's been tried.

A few guys even came close.

You know the three most successful
robberies in the history of Vegas?

REUBEN: Number three,
the bronze medal.

Pencilneck grabs a
lockbox at the Horseshoe.

MAN: Hey, Hey. Grab that guy.
Grab the the suit!

He got two steps closer to the door
than any living soul before him.

MAN: Hey, leave the money!

Second most successful robbery,

The Flamingo in '71 . This guy
actually tasted fresh oxygen...

...before they grabbed him.

Of course, he was breathing out
of a hose for the next three weeks.

Goddamn hippie.

And the closest any
man has ever come...

...to robbing a Las Vegas casino,

was outside of Caesars in '87.

He came...

...he grabbed...

...they conquered.

But what am I saying?
You guys are pros. The best.

I'm sure you can make
it out of the casino.

Of course, lest we forget...

...once you're out
the front door,

you're still in the middle
of the fucking desert!

You're right. He's right.

Reuben, you're right.

Our eyes were bigger
than our stomachs.

That's exactly what it is.
Pure ego.

REUBEN: Yeah, Yeah,
Yeah, blah, blah. Blah.

- Thank you for lunch.
- The nicoise was delicious.

Sorry we bother you.

Look, we all go way back and...

...I owe you from the thing
with the guy in the place.

...and I'll never forget it.

- It was our pleasure.
- I'd never been to Belize.

Give Dominic your addresses,

I got some remaindered
furniture I wanna send you.

Look just out of curiosity,

which casinos did you
geniuses pick to rob?

DANNY: The Bellagio, the
Mirage and the MGM Grand.

Those are Terry
Benedict's casinos.

- Is that right?
- That's right.

You guys,

What do you got against
Terry Benedict?

What do you have against
him, that's the question.

He torpedoed my casino.
Muscled me out.

Now he's gonna blow
it up next month to...

...make way for
some gaudy monstrosity.

Don't think I don't see
what you're doing.

What are we doing, Reuben?

If you're gonna steal from Terry
Benedict, you better goddamn know.

This sorta thing used
to be civilized.

You'd hit a guy,
he'd whack you. Done.

But with Benedict...

At the end of this, he'd better
not know you're involved.

Not know your names,
or think you're dead.

Because he'll kill you, and then
he'll go to work on you.

That's why we need to be
very careful, very precise.

Yeah, you gotta be nuts, too.

Get in the goddamn house.

Gentlemen, the 3000 block
of Las Vegas Boulevard.

Otherwise known as the Bellagio,
the Mirage and the MGM Grand.

Together, they're three of the most
profitable casinos in Las Vegas.

Let me see.

This is the vault of the Bellagio.
It's located below the Strip...

...beneath 200 feet
of solid earth.

It safeguards every dime
that passes through...

...each of the three
casinos above it.

- We're gonna rob it.
- Smash-and-grab job, huh?

Slightly more
complicated than that.

Well, yeah.

This is courtesy of Frank Catton, a
new blackjack dealer at the Bellagio.

Okay. Bad news first.

This place houses a security system
that rivals most nuclear missile silos.

First, we have to get
within the casino cages,

which anybody tell you
takes more than a smile.

Next, through these doors.

Each of which requires a different
six-digit code changed every 12 hours.

Past those, lies the elevator.
And this is where it gets tricky.

The elevator won't move without
authorized fingerprint identifications.

Which we can't fake.

And vocal confirmations from...

both the security system within
the Bellagio and the vault below.

- Which we won't get.
- Furthermore...

The elevator shaft is rigged
with motion detectors.

Meaning if we manually
override the lift,

the shaft's exit will lock down
automatically and we'll be trapped.

Now, once we get down the shaft,
though, then it's a piece of cake.

Just, two more guards
with Uzis and...

...the most elaborate vault
door ever conceived by man.

Any questions?

(IN CHINESE)

RUSTY: No, tunneling's out.

There are sensors monitor the ground for
one hundred yards in every direction..

If a groundhog were to nest
there, they'd know about it.

Anyone else?

VIRGIL: You said something
about good news.

DANNY: Yeah. The Nevada Gaming
Commission stipulates that...

...a casino must hold
in reserve enough cash,

to cover every chip
at play on its floor.

That means on a weekday, by law,
it has to carry anywhere...

...between $60 and $70
million in cash and coin.

On the weekend, between $80 and
$90 million. On a fight night...

...like the one two weeks from tonight,
the night we're gonna rob it?

$150 million, without
breaking a sweat.

Now there are 11 of us,
each with an equal share.

You do the math.

(WHISTLES)

Exactly.

SAUL: I have a question.

Say we get into the cage,

...and through the
security doors there,

...and down the
elevator we can't move,

...and past the
guards with guns,

...and into the vault
we can't open...

Without being seen by the cameras.

Oh, Yeah. Sorry,
I forgot to mention that.

Yeah, well, say we do all that.

We're just supposed to walk outta there
with a $150 million in cash on us...

...without getting stopped?

Yeah.

Oh. Okay.

What's a pinch?

A pinch is a device
which creates like a

cardiac arrest for any
broadband electrical circuitry.

Better yet, a pinch is a bomb.
Now but without the bomb.

See, when a nuclear weapon detonates,
it unleashes an electromagnetic pulse...

...which shuts down any power
source within its blast radius.

Now, that tends not to matter in most
cases because the nuclear weapon

use to destroys everything you
might need power for anyway.

But, see. A pinch creates a
similar electromagnetic pulse,

but without the fuss of
mass destruction and death.

So instead of
Hiroshima, you'll be getting

- ...the 17th century.
- How long?

About 30 seconds.

Could a pinch knock out the
power of an entire city?

- Like, for instance...
- Las Vegas?

Yeah, I think it might.

- What's your status?
- Yeah, I'm nearly there.

(TIRES SCREECHING)

TERRY: Come on, come on.

Mr. Walsh, show this man
off the premises.

Don't ever set foot
in my casino again.

Sir?

- Cracker!
- Oh, dear God!

(LINUS BREATHING DEEPLY)

Oh! I forgot my pager.
I left it. Sorry.

(SIGHS)

- You know your way back?
- I do.

Good.

Okay. Enjoy the fight.

Sorry!

DANNY: How much longer you
figure Mr. Benedict's gonna be?

(CHUCKLE)

No cameras in this room, huh?

Yeah.

Don't want anybody seeing
what goes on in here.

He's not coming, is he?

(KNOCKING)

GOON: We're gonna
step outside now.

Leave you two alone
to talk things over.

SENTRY 2: I hadn't seen my wife in
three weeks, so I decided to call her.

Told, "I love you, you love me."
"I miss you, you miss me."

And that went well. Yeah, without a
problem. But then I went to this party...

SENTRY 2: I show up at 1 p.m.
She expected me at 11 a.m.

...so she was going crazy.
I said, "What do you expect?"

"What do you think goes on?"
"It's not choir practice."

Oh, shit.

WALSH: There. Does that
satisfy you, Mr. Zerga?

SAUL: I am very satisfied.

- Are you all right, sir?
- I'm fine. I'm fine.

All right.

(GRUNTS)

Jesus!

Bruiser!

- Not until later!
- Sorry, Danny. I forgot.

It's all right.

- How's your wife?
- Pregnant again.

Well, it happens. Let's get started.
Come here.

(CROWD CHEERING)

(FOOTSTEPS)

- You're almost there, Linus.
- Who's that guy?

Hey, I got a bogey
in west corridor.

- (GROANS)
- Mr. Zerga!

(ELEVATOR BELL DINGS)

- Call a doctor! Mr. Zerga!
- Put this underneath his head.

Going to video... NOW.

To the Eye in the Sky ASAP.

We have a man down and he
appears to be unconscious.

Oh, Jesus!

Now, you really didn't think
I'd sit this one out? Did you?

What? You didn't trust me?

I do now.

Come on.

(CROWD CHEERING)

RUSTY: Someone
call for a doctor?

LINUS: How'd you get here?

DANNY: Had to give a friend
a couple of million.

But what about Rusty?
The whole argument?

I mean, what was that about?

Well...

Oh, Come on. You know,
why not just tell me?

Why put me through all this?

Where's the fun in that?
All right. Let's get going.

RUSTY: Come on, man!
Breathe!

Breathe, damn it! Breathe!

I'm sorry. We've lost him.

VIRGIL: Dude, I
told you to hurry.

TURK: Don't do that.
Just don't do that.

VIRGIL: I didn't
tell you to hurry?

(PUNCHES LANDING)

BRUISER: Come on, get up!
Get up!

(BRUISER STRUGGLING ALONE)

BRUISER: Had enough yet?

LINUS: These things
gonna hold us, right?

DANNY: They should.

(EXHALING DEEPLY)

(PANTING)

Livingston, we're set.

- Livingston, we're set.
- Basher, we're set.

Hang on a minute, chief.

LIVINGSTON: We don't have a minute.
Yen's gonna suffocate.

Well, then you better leave off
bothering me, don't you think?

Linus, Can you read me?
Do not blow the door!

DANNY: ...two, one.

Something...

(EXHALING DEEPLY)

(GRUNTING)

Well, did you check
the batteries?

You know, you lose focus in
this game for one second...

I know, somebody gets hurt.
You don't hear Yen complaining.

(VAULT DOOR EXPLODES)

Yen?

(IN FOREIGN ACCENT)
Where the fuck you been?

- Sorry.
- Sorry.

SAUL: That is the sexiest
thing I have ever seen.

Rusty, you're up.

(CELL PHONE RINGS)

- You gonna answer that?
- I don't have a cell phone.

This isn't mine.

See who it is.

TESS: Hello?

RUSTY: May I have a word
with Mr. Benedict?

It's for you.

- Who the hell is this?
- The man who's robbing you.

- What the hell's going on in the vault?
- Um, Nothing, sir. It's all normal.

Show me.

- I'm afraid you're mistaken.
- You watching your monitors?

Okay, keep watching.

In this town, your luck can
change just that quickly.

Find out how much money
we've down there.

Yes, sir.

Tess?

Tess?

Perhaps you should...

Perhaps I should what?

It would be better if you
weren't around here for this.

All right, you
proved your point.

You broke into my vault.
Congratulations. You're a dead man.

- Maybe.
- Maybe?

May I ask how you
expect to leave?

You believe I'm gonna allow you to parade
bags full of my money out my casino doors?

- No. You're gonna carry it out for us.
- And why would I do that?

Take a closer look
at your monitor.

As your manager's probably reporting to you
now, you have a little over $160 million...

...in your vault tonight. You may notice,
we're only packing up about half that.

The other half we're leaving in your
vault, booby-trapped, as a hostage.

You let our $80 million go,
and you get to keep yours.

That's the deal.

You try and stop us,
we'll blow both cashloads.

Mr. Benedict,

you can lose $80 million tonight secretly
or you can lose $160 million publicly.

It's your decision.
Hi.

Make the call.

DISPATCHER:
911 emergency response.

- Where's Danny?
- Danny's fine. He's in good form.

He requests that you go
upstairs and watch TV.

He does?

We have three men with explosives
who have taken control of our vault.

- Okay.
- It's alright, Tess.

- You have a deal.
- I promise.

Fantastic. Here's what you do.

RUSTY: The guys in the vault will deposite
six bags in to the vault elevator.

The elevator will
rise to your cages.

Three of your guards will pickup the
bags and carry them out into the casino.

Now if they take more than 20
seconds to reach the casino floor

or there is any indication
a switch has been made...

...we'll blow the money in the
bags and the money in the vault.

- He's in the casino by the slots.
- Of course I'm in the casino.

In fact, I'm staying in your hotel.
I have two words for you. "Mini bar."

As soon as your guards
hit the casino floor...

...a white unmarked van is going
to pull up in your valet's ditch.

Your guards will load the
bags into the van's rear.

If anyone so much as approaches the
driver's door, we'll blow everything.

When I get word the van is
away and the money is secure,

my men will exit the building.

And once their safety is confirmed,
you'll get your vault back.

The S.W.A.T. team is here.

All right.

Now, I have complied with your
every request. Would you agree?

I would.

Good. Because now
I have one of my own.

Run and hide, asshole.
Run and hide.

If you should be picked
up next week buying

a $100,000 sports car
in Newport Beach...

I'm gonna be supremely
disappointed.

Because I want my people to
find you, and when they do...

...rest assured, we're not gonna
hand you over to the police.

So, my advice to you again
is this. "Run and hide."

That is all that I ask.

Mr. Benedict, our guys say that van
is headed toward McCarran Airport.

Get everybody in position. I want my vault
back before that van hits the tarmac.

SWAT TEAM LEADER:
Night goggles on. Prepare to cut power.

Ready.

Cutting power now.

TERRY: Do it.

SWAT LEADER: Breaching
elevator doors now.

We have two guards,
bound, unconscious.

Wait a minute.

LINUS: Guys! Guys!
Someone's here!

- Take him down, now!
- I got him!

(GUN FIRES)

- Lights! We need power now!
- Give it to him.

(INDISTINCT TALKING)

TERRY: What's going on?
Talk to me.

SWAT LEADER: It appears a high explosive
incendiary device has been detonated.

I repeat, has been detonated.

Continuing search for survivors.

Tell them to take the van.
I'm going down there.

TERRY: And find out how
they hacked into my system!

Yes, sir.

Get out of the van, now. Now!

Tires. Tires.

(GUN SHOOTS)

SWAT LEADER: Sir, our
search yielded no suspects.

Nor we able to determine
at this time,

how they entered or
exited the premises.

Take your men out.

Sir, May I suggest you stand
outside until bomb squad...?

Now.

It's your vault.
Blue team, move it out!

Walsh, where are
we with the van?

VIRGIL: Okay, I just want to try
something here for a second.

There's nobody inside.

Oops! Aw, I'm sorry. Oop.

- Oh no, did you want to get in?
- Enough monkey business.

Do it already.

(EXPLODES)

WALSH: Mr. Benedict.
We took the van, sir.

TERRY: And?

And they say that there was
no money in the bags, sir.

TERRY: What do you mean there
is no money in the bags?

They say the bags were filled
with fliers, sir. For hookers.

Walsh?

Cue up the tape to the robbery.

Yes, sir. I'm looking
at the tape now.

TERRY: Does it say "Bellagio"
on the vault floor?

No, it doesn't.
I don't understand.

We had it installed on Tuesday.

The images we saw of those
men robbing us was a tape.

WALSH: What?

It was staged. Somebody made a
duplicate of my vault.

And what we saw on the monitor
wasn't actually happening.

I don't understand. What
happened to all that money?

Make the call.

911 emergency response.

(GRUNTS)

DANNY: Heya, Benedict.
How's the other fight going?

Pick him up.

(PANTING)

Did you have a hand in this?

Did I have my hand in what?

I'm gonna ask you one more time.

Did you have a hand in this?

Benedict, I have no idea
what you're talking about.

Okay.

You're free to go.

Show him out.

(PHONE RINGS)

- TESS: Hello.
- LIVINGSTON: Turn to channel 88.

Who is this?

DANNY: What happened, Benedict?
You get robbed or something?

TERRY: Stop.

I'm gonna give you
one last chance.

Where's my money?

DANNY: What if I told you I
could get your money back...

...if you give up Tess?

What would you say?

TERRY: I would say yes.

DANNY: All right.

I know a guy. We were
in the joint together.

Anybody pulls any job in the
Western U.S., he knows about it.

DANNY: If you give me 72 hours,
I'll find out who took your money.

You know a guy.

Show Mr. Ocean the exit
and contact the police.

I'm sure he's in
violation of his parole.

GOON: Yes, sir.
