hey, no regrets, milady.
exchanging the robbery plans for your freedom was a small price to pay.
but why did your ex-boyfriend have to be a colombian drug lord? why couldn't he have been one of those guys who airbrushes jean jackets at the mall? yo, yo, yo, yo.
stop whatever y'all doing.
big news.
what's up, rock? i went in to quit my job at burton security, right? so i wouldn't be at mick jagger's crib when enrico robs it.
but before i could quit, i heard something so off the chain that the chain itself was nothing but a distant memory.
you know what i'm saying? please, slower and less black.
mick jagger's entire security system being overhauled right now.
the whole thing's down till monday morning.
nobody there all weekend.
no mick, no nath pran, no alarms, no codes, no guards except for yours truly, rockefeller butts.
it'll be so easy, the apartment will practically rob itself.
oh, my god! oh, my god! we should do it, then! oh, my- hold on a second, guys.
remember, we traded enrico the robbery plans for esperanza's freedom.
now if we go back on our deal, enrico and his thugs are gonna find us, all right? we can't do it.
by the time he finds out, we will be drinking tequilas at a beach in cabo san lucas with sammy hagar.

i'm being optimistic.
okay, gang, it's all led up to this.

wow, look at this place.
it is even more glorious than i ever dared to imagine.
let's get to work! whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a second.
how much time? until the security stuff comes back on? 35 hours.
oh, god, that's way more time than we need.
and we've been working for this moment for months.

there's a really cool room down here.
hey, what is this room? i don't know.
it's got no windows.
it's got a bed and a fridge, though.
hey, what's up with the red phone? does mick jagger have the authority to order a nuclear strike? this is the panic room, y'all.
are you serious? a real panic room? hell, yeah.
if somebody breaks in while mick's at home, he's supposed to come in here and push the red button.
that's hilarious.
look.
i'm panicking! i'm panicking! aah! at do i do? what do i? awesome.
open it up.
i- i don't like to be in enclosed spaces.
ay, dios mío.
what is wrong with it? it must be part of the security system overhaul.
the mechanisms ain't working right.
oh, that's been freak fantastic.
this phone should connect me to burton security.
i'll tell 'em i triggered the door by accident.
it's dead.
uh, my cell doesn't get any service.
mine, neither.
what are we facing here, rock? ladies and gentlemen, we are surrounded by impenetrable 6-inch walls of concrete and carbonite steel.
we have no means of contact with the outside world.
nobody will know we're here until burton security shows up at 7:00 a.
m.
monday morning.
that gives us exactly 34 hours to escape this room.
put on your shirt.
i'm begging you.
what would david blaine do? what would david blaine do? okay, people, first things first, we gotta take stock of the situation.
i want everybody to fan out and look for anything that can be useful, okay? what do you got? i got a rope, a first aid kit and a toolbox.
oh, good.
open it up.
wh is this, an electric rice cooker? it's a portable toilet.
i seen 'em once on a camping trip in the ozarks.
open up! open up! open up! what's wrong with her? whoa, whoa, whoa! esperanza, stop, stop, stop, stop! it's eugene gurkin.
talk to me, baby.
i have claustro-flobia.
come here.
i will realign your chakras with my hands and mouth.
the only thing that can help me are my special pills, and they're in my bag outside! wait, no, i-i have your purse right here.
oh, thank you! thank you! why, pray tell, do you have her purse? i borrowed her eyeliner.
what? i was going for mick jagger's glam look from the 1970s.
uh-huh.
okay, people, we need a plan, okay? a plan.
what did you have for dinner? it smells like the black hole of calcutta in here.
oh, really? funny you should mention dinner, since i seem to be the only one here with food.
caviar? yes, and a mother of pearl spoon.
everybody can have some except for squatch.
who cares? i don't want? oh, you will! mmm! mmm! yeah? wait a second, guys.
i have an idea.
if i can pry the switch plate off the door control panel, then i can mess with the connection and get the green button to work.
look, chief,i got a screwdriver.
oh, good, good.
yeah, bring it here.
all right.
uh, can i-can i get the hammer, please? come on! son of a bitch.
yeah, i'm sorry.
i don't know how that happened.
there's a shocker.
louis, awesome! you got a flashlight! that's great! here, give it to me.
okay, guys, i got a genius plan.
we form a human pyramid with louis on top, and when louis gets to the top - eugene? yeah, gary? please, no more genius ideas.
what are you talking about? your genius ideas will get us killed.
come on, gary.
chief.
.
i love you like a brother, but you did get us into this.
so maybe you better just sit down and let the rest of us figure a way out.
what? look, i hate to pull rank, squatch, but i am still kinda the leader around here.
you best just lead your mouth to shuttin', eugene.
what the hey's going on?! is this some kind of mutiny?! esperanza, speak up for me! uh-oh.
esperanza? whathever happened to terence trent d'arby? he had such a big hit with "wishing well," and suddenly, poof! he disappeared.
i think she may have exceeded the recommended dosage.
that's exactly what i would've done, if given the chance.
i'm just sayin'.
good job, squatch.
here, you may not have some caviar.
i don't want any stupid caviar, hiawatha.
you will.
mmm! like a mouthful of the caspian sea.
excuse me.
yes? i'm-a think i'm-a need a few minutes of privacy.
dear lord, please let you not mean what i think you mean.
don't none of y'all turn around.
not to worry.
we almost home.
please! enough! come on, man.
rome wasn't built in a day.
let us never speak of this again.
what's that? it's the red phone.
i thought it was dead.
hello? yeah, this is reginald van hoogstratten.
uh, listen, uh, do me a favor and release the panic room door.
i- i closed it by mistake.
oh, no, no.
you don't have to do that.
well, you no, you can do it from- w- w-whoa, wait.
now? all right.
what'd they say? they sending someone over to fix it.
when? now! we're going to jail.
now will you listen to my idea? no! the most important thing is that we just don't panic.
ya think? you said, "don't panic," and we're in a panic room.
if we get out of here, i gotta get me some of them pills.
we no longer have 34 hours before burton security comes.
we got 20 minutes! how do you know it'll be 20 minutes? could be 10 minutes.
or five minutes! rockefeller, you work for them.
how long will it take? if they consider the situation emergency they'll be here in 2 minutes.
if not, they'll be here in 15.
do they consider this an emergency? nah.
we got 15 minutes.
hey, rock, give me your gun.
"explainez"- vous what you're planning to do with that, please? i suggest that we shoot out this vent and then we crawl down that duct to safety.
i think we've all had quite enough of your "eugenius" plans.
come on.
maybe there'a way to jimmy the locking mechanism on the door or something.
wait minute.
i am still the leader of the knights of prosperity! i made up the t-shirts! you shot me in the ass! what? oh, the bullet must've ricocheted.
yeah, it ricocheted right into my ass! i'm sorry.
i- what does that feel like? like i got shot in the ass! i tell ya, this internship really covers a broad range of responsibilities.
at least the wound is not serious.
the bullet did not penetrate deep into the buttock.
"apollo 11" couldn't penetrate deep into that buttock.
your name is rockefeller butts, and you just got shot in the panic room! it's all over.
we're done.
five minutes of freedom left.
since this is the end, uh, there's something that i would like to get off my chest.
remember that girl that i slept with to get mick jagger's number code? oh, my god.
you have the a.
i.
d.
s? no.
no.
chlamydia? herpes simplex 1? 2? syphilis? the clap? gonorrhea? rickets? i didn't actually sleep with her.
i'm still a virgin.
ah! prison take care of that for ya.
and one other thing, i'm gay, gay, gay, gay rich.
what? i live in greenwich, connecticut.
my father has a hedge fund.
he's got, like, $250 million something.
then what the hell you doing this for? my dad and my brothers- they spend 14 hours a day watching stocks just blip up and down, pounding computer keys like trained monkeys.
i wanted more out of life, you know? you're an imbecile! go watch the blips and pound the keys like a monkey.
i'll bring the bananas! we get three minutes left.
does anyone want to say anything? all right.
i mean, as long as we're going around the horn here, i guess i just wanna say that even though i give you guys a hard time, i'm gonna really miss you.
you all mean a lot to me, and, um you're a very special group of people.
gay, gay, gay, gay three minute is plenty enough time for me to beat you to a pulp.
yes, sir.
i think i have something to say.
it's my turn.
we're going around the circle.
oh, okay.
go ahead.
most men, they say, "esperanza, i love you," and then they make a beeline straight to my va-hee-na.
but not you all.
you treat me as an equal, with respect.
i really appreciate that you don't want to have the sex with me.
eugene? i, um pass.
yeah, i pass.
uh, gary, go ahead, and if, uh, if i got something to, uh, say, maybe we can come back to me.
um, esperanza, i would like to have sex with you.
what the-did you not listen to what she just said? yes, i know.
i heard, but why should what she said change what i say? just because she doesn't want me to want to have sex with her doesn't mean that i magically don't want to have sex with her.
i- i really do.
i swear.
i'm sorry.
i do.
it's okay, gary.
i appreciate your honesty.
really? so does that mean that we could - no.
but we only have two minutes and - no.
we could-okay.
hey, listen, they're here.
they're drilling through the lock.
my father's gonna kill me.
oh, my god, i i think i'm having a panic attack! i can't do the perp walk dressed like this, okay? they're gonna throw me in bellevue with the cuckoo birds! i got an idea, and this time it's a good one.
everyone get to the center of the room.
what are you doing? hold this, squatch.
grab it.
i'm ta you all hostage.
when that door opens, there's gonna be four burton guards, probably with guns.
do you really think you're gonna negotiate your way out of here? no.
i know that would do but there's no reason for everyone to go to jail.
all right, this is what's going down.
rockefeller, you knew mick was gonna be gone for the weekend, so you invited some friends over.
i came in to rob the joint.
i found you, i took you all hostage, and when i brought you in the panic room to tie you up, the door fell, we all accidently got locked in.
if you do that, you're gonna spend more time in jail.
yeah, but you all will go free.
that's the story.
okay, everybody? let's stick to it.
it's a panic room, people.
that's the whole point.
they're supposed to be hard to break into.
enrico! i thought i was going to find mick jagger here.
instead, i find a bunch of double-crossing weasels! drop the gun and slide it over here.
jaime, shoot them now, please.
no! flavio, come with me.
no, enrico! please, no! oh, jaime.
oh, jaime, no.
no, no, no, no, jaime.
jaime.
jaime, come on.
jaime.
you don't wanna do this.
nah.
i can see it in your eyes.
you're asking yourself, "how did i get here?" i know how you got here.
papa left home.
mama didn't love you like she should.
and you're out on the streets with your friends, but they ain't your friends.
they were never your friends, jaime.
but now it's the moment of truth time.
'cause you pull that trigger, you know what that makes you? a murderer.
yeah, and that's the name of that tune.
so give me the gun.
co on, jaime.
come on.
give me the gun, papi.
'cause we both know you're a lot of things, baby, but you ain't no murderer.
hmm? i kill 68 people.
that's not good.
jaime! burton security! jaime! there's a back lock.
get the perimeter locked up.
jaime! that must be the security guard from burton.
oh! come on! hurry up! listen, rockefeller, pretend you're still working for burton security.
say it's enrico who shot you in the butt we going to escape.
come on! okay, okay.
go! go! go! uh i'd just like to, uh, apologize to each and every one of you for almost getting you killed today.
and you were right.
i'm not a leader.
i'm a janitor.
my ideas suck and, uh i'm sorry for getting you people involved in this whole mess.
your ideas don't suck.
they really, really suck.
but what i remember from today is that when the chips were down, you were willing to go jail for all of us.
and if that ain't being a good, well, you know what? i don't know what is.
the big one is okay! turn on the tv! turn on the tv! three armed men were arrested after they tried to rob rockstar mick jagger's apartment earlier today.
now they're identified as enrico cortez jaime santanita and flavio puente.
the thieves apparently had loaded up $4 million in valuables when they were spotted by jagger's own personal security team.
let's get more on what's happening now.
tell us exactly what happened in your words.
the perpetrators entered the dwelling at 9:47 p.
m.
and were apprehended by myself and two other burton security specialists.
now we heard that shots were fired and that you were hit.
yes, i did sustain a flesh wound to my upper leg.
he was in on it! estaba en esto.
quería robar a mick jagger.
the important thing is that the perpetratorsare apprehended, he-he tried to rob mick jagger! and they will be unable to perpetrate in the future at this time.
