in your ears...

whole different ball game.

I appreciate your concern.

I'll be fine.

Look, just remember,

this is all the easy part, okay?

It's the getaway

that can get us caught.

So what's the sketch?

We drive to Union Station.

Getaway car goes

right onto the train with us.

We need to know exactly

how long it's going to take

to get from Steve's house

to Union Station.

Oh, great.

Carson Security System.

How good is it?

Carson's held

an annual contest--

$50,000 to anybody

that can bypass the system.

The Who's Who of ex-cons

always show up.

Five years running,

no one's been paid.

Okay, party people,

here's the status.

It's an anti-scaling fence.

It's hardened,

electro-plated steel.

Yeah, I'm going

to have to paint that up

with some nitromin.

Security on the property?

Got an armed guard here.

Little rent-a-cop,

with a nine-millimeter

on his hip.

But that booth...

Security booth looks prime

for a chemical grenade.

Nitromin, chemical grenades...

I mean, that stuff's

pretty hard to come by.

Yeah, Lyle, it's a bear market.

Sh*t.

This dude got dogs.

I don't do dogs.

I had a...

real bad experience, man.

What happened?

I had a bad experience.

Damn it. I'm deaf.

You turn in your badge

and your weap...

Oh, shoot.

Turn in your badge

and your weapon!

Crush.

I don't want to see you

anywhere near

this investigation.

And turn in

your badge and your weapon.

I don't want to see you

anywhere near

this investigation.

Hey! It's a green!

Turn in your badge

and your weapon.

-Green!

-I don't want to see you

anywhere near this...

Turn in your badge

and your weapon.

Unbelievable.

There he is.

Let's get to work.

It's either bad traffic,

peak traffic,

slit-your-wrist traffic.

You know, five people died

from smoking

in between traffic lights today.

You know, they do have

the Metrorail, Rob.

You could always use that.

That'd be ideal

for carrying a ton of gold,

wouldn't it, genius?

What's your guesstimate?

The last 20 times

I've done the journey,

you've got an average of 32

minutes and a top time of 50,

but if we had green

lights all the way,

we could do it in 1 4 minutes.

Wait, you couldn't get

through traffic?

Whoa.

We could do anything

with green lights all the way.

Lyle?

Lyle?

I'll see what I can do.

You're right on time.

All these poor bastards

out there,

putting their life

savings in banks,

and S&Ls, and mutual funds.

How do they think,

when the collapse comes,

they can depend

on the government?

I don't think so.

Are you taping me?

Of course not.

I never tape you--

come look,

see for yourself.

Governments are nothing more

than puppets and strings

in a world where NAFTA
