WEBVTT Kind: captions Language: en 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.200 It’s a quiet morning in Lego  city - Until the robbery begins. 00:00:04.200 --> 00:00:10.380 Clients of Lego City’s first national Lego bank  barely notice at first as men in dark suits with   00:00:10.380 --> 00:00:15.660 plastic, black masks covering their faces slink  into the room from every conceivable entrance and   00:00:15.660 --> 00:00:21.720 exit. When these same ten sinister Lego strangers  all pull out guns, everyone pays close attention. 00:00:21.720 --> 00:00:27.120 “This is a robbery!” their leader says,  while firing his gun into the air. “We   00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:31.320 don’t want any heroes. If you try to disrupt  our operation, we’ll blow you into bricks!” 00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:34.620 The patrons hit the ground,  cowering for dear life,   00:00:34.620 --> 00:00:39.000 as five of the masked robbers approach the  tellers with open bags, and the other five   00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:44.700 work crowd control - Pointing their weapons  at the cowering civilians. These men are   00:00:44.700 --> 00:00:49.800 hardened Lego criminals - If something goes  south, they won’t hesitate to start blasting. 00:00:50.400 --> 00:00:54.060 “Empty your vaults, lady,” the leader  says to one of the tellers. “We ain’t   00:00:54.060 --> 00:00:56.220 messing around! We’ll ice everyone in here!” 00:00:56.940 --> 00:00:59.940 But the teller doesn’t follow his orders. Instead,   00:00:59.940 --> 00:01:04.920 she reaches under her desk and presses a  tiny red button, hidden from sight. Suddenly,   00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:09.960 the room erupts in red flashes and alarms as  the bank’s security system activates. Robbers   00:01:09.960 --> 00:01:15.420 and hostages alike feel themselves beginning to  panic - But the leader, he stays cool and still. 00:01:16.140 --> 00:01:20.700 Less than ten seconds pass before the alarm  stops. You could hear a pin drop in the room.   00:01:20.700 --> 00:01:26.700 Locks deactivate, and shutters roll back up. The  teller is confused and horrified. What happened!? 00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:32.520 Little does she know, in a van parked outside,  an eleventh member of the Lego robbery team is   00:01:32.520 --> 00:01:36.600 working on a sophisticated computer setup.  He’s hacked into the bank’s security system,   00:01:36.600 --> 00:01:40.200 and he’s been able to both shut down  the alarm system and intercept the   00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:44.340 message that goes out to the local police  precinct. The plan is unfolding perfectly. 00:01:44.340 --> 00:01:48.540 “Nice try,” the leader says,  and shoots the Lego teller dead. 00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:52.200 Everyone in the room, including  the other Lego robbers,   00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:56.220 gasp. Nobody is prepared for things  to get this ugly, this quickly. 00:01:56.820 --> 00:01:59.040 “Anyone feel like helping me out here?” the leader   00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:01.320 says. “Or am I gonna need to  start wasting more tellers?” 00:02:01.320 --> 00:02:04.320 The surviving tellers read  the message loud and clear.   00:02:04.320 --> 00:02:07.980 They open up the vaults and begin  wheeling out stacks of Lego cash,   00:02:07.980 --> 00:02:12.420 which the robbers begin stuffing into  containers and duffel bags. In total,   00:02:12.420 --> 00:02:17.940 they steal over two million Lego dollars. Each  member of the team is going to get a hefty payout. 00:02:17.940 --> 00:02:21.840 With the mission completed, there’s  no sense in hanging around. They need   00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:24.780 to hop into their Lego getaway cars  and be out of there before the Lego   00:02:24.780 --> 00:02:29.100 cops show up. But by the time they’re  leaving the bank, it’s already too late. 00:02:29.700 --> 00:02:34.440 Lego cop cars are tearing down the street towards  their parked getaway vehicles. It doesn’t make   00:02:34.440 --> 00:02:38.580 sense - Their operation was perfectly  planned. Military in its precision. The   00:02:38.580 --> 00:02:41.820 whole thing had been over in less than three  minutes, how are the cops on them already? 00:02:42.660 --> 00:02:46.200 But none of them have time to think.  The cop cars screech to a halt,   00:02:46.200 --> 00:02:48.060 and armed officers start climbing out,   00:02:48.060 --> 00:02:52.140 training their guns on the gobsmacked team of  Lego robbers standing in front of the bank. 00:02:52.140 --> 00:02:54.000 “Freeze! Put down the weapons and the   00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:58.260 bags, or we’ll be forced to take action!”  a Lego cop screams over a Lego megaphone. 00:02:58.980 --> 00:03:05.220 The only reply they get is gunfire. The leader  levels his Lego gun and starts blasting, taking   00:03:05.220 --> 00:03:10.440 out two cops and forcing the rest to scramble for  cover behind their vehicles. Taking advantage of   00:03:10.440 --> 00:03:14.640 the moment of opportunity, the robbers scatter  like cockroaches under a newly lifted rock. 00:03:15.300 --> 00:03:20.760 Most make it to their cars, but in the confusion,  the Lego police are able to return fire. One of   00:03:20.760 --> 00:03:25.560 the robbers - The tallest but slowest of the  hardened criminal team - goes down in a hail   00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:29.700 of bullets. Another one of the robbers,  who’d been his friend, screams in rage   00:03:29.700 --> 00:03:34.200 and turns his gun on the police, firing like a  madman, not even caring if he hits his target. 00:03:34.920 --> 00:03:37.920 A conveniently placed police sniper  in the building across from them   00:03:37.920 --> 00:03:40.860 wings him with an expert shoulder  shot that drops him to the ground,   00:03:40.860 --> 00:03:45.120 alive but too injured to escape.  He’s nothing but dead weight now. 00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:50.520 The remaining eight robbers pile into three  Lego getaway vehicles: Two classic cars manned   00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:54.660 by getaway drivers, and the van where the team’s  elite Lego hacker had been doing his high-tech   00:03:54.660 --> 00:04:00.000 work. Now, their job is a lot more simple: Get  out of here without getting caught or killed. 00:04:00.600 --> 00:04:04.680 Immediately, the chase spills out onto the  streets. They’d planned for this possibility:   00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:08.700 After completing the job, they’d each head  to three different predesignated safe zones,   00:04:08.700 --> 00:04:12.540 so if one was followed, they wouldn’t  implicate the others. The plan is   00:04:12.540 --> 00:04:16.860 complicated by seemingly having every single  one of the city’s cops on their tail now. 00:04:16.860 --> 00:04:22.080 Contact between the three vehicles immediately  breaks down. The leader of the robbers is in the   00:04:22.080 --> 00:04:27.840 fastest of the getaway cars, with three others:  The driver, the rookie, and the old timer. Behind   00:04:27.840 --> 00:04:32.700 them, scores of Lego police cars surge through the  streets. Armed officers hang out of the passenger   00:04:32.700 --> 00:04:37.080 doors, opening fire on their escape vehicle,  hoping to hit them or at least pop the tires. 00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:40.920 “They wanna play rough, huh?” the  leader says to his panicking fellow   00:04:40.920 --> 00:04:42.900 criminals. “We’ll show them how to play rough!” 00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:45.720 The leader and the old timer grab a pair of Lego   00:04:45.720 --> 00:04:48.420 submachine guns that are lying  across the floor of the car.   00:04:49.200 --> 00:04:54.240 They lock and load, before leaning out the car  windows to return fire. If they’re going to go   00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:59.280 down today, it’s going to be in a blaze of glory,  not bruised and humiliated in a holding cell. 00:04:59.280 --> 00:05:01.080 “You’ll never take us alive,   00:05:01.080 --> 00:05:05.220 coppers!” The older timer barks as he and  the leader open fire on their pursuers. 00:05:05.760 --> 00:05:10.380 It’s a parabolic hell storm, skittering bullets  across the hoods of the police cars behind them.   00:05:10.380 --> 00:05:15.300 The windshields of even Lego police cars are  reinforced to take this kind of punishment, but   00:05:15.300 --> 00:05:20.280 not for long. Soon enough, the surge of cars is  buckling under the weight of fire from the leader   00:05:20.280 --> 00:05:24.840 and the old timer. Cars are crashing into each  other and piling up, as the criminals take off. 00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:28.740 What should have been a simple robbery  is quickly spiraling into a nightmare   00:05:28.740 --> 00:05:33.720 for all involved. The death toll is already  in the double digits, and the chase goes on,   00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:38.700 with frequent gunfire exchanged between the Lego  robbers and their Lego boys in blue pursuers. 00:05:38.700 --> 00:05:43.020 Above all this, above the chase,  above the gunfire, above the robbery,   00:05:43.020 --> 00:05:47.640 two almost godlike giants stare  down on the whole chaotic display.   00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:54.720 These godlike giants are, in fact, a pair of young  boys, aged eight and nine. Less than an hour ago,   00:05:54.720 --> 00:05:59.400 these boys were just bored kids who’d run  out of games to play on their Xbox. They   00:05:59.400 --> 00:06:03.660 had decided to go a little retro and switch  up the Minecraft for a classic box of Lego. 00:06:03.660 --> 00:06:07.140 One of the two young boys remarked,  “I think my dad has a big,   00:06:07.140 --> 00:06:10.200 red box of Lego in his office. He  probably won’t mind if we use it!” 00:06:10.200 --> 00:06:15.300 Of course, what the boy didn’t know was that  his father wasn’t, contrary to his own belief,   00:06:15.300 --> 00:06:20.160 an accountant who worked in the city. He was  actually a mid-Level researcher working with the   00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:25.740 SCP Foundation - And quite the workaholic at that.  He had a tendency to bring his work home with him,   00:06:25.740 --> 00:06:31.500 metaphorically and in the case of some Safe-class  SCPs when given the proper clearances, literally.   00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:38.940 One such SCP was SCP-387, the Living Lego,  a toy that genuinely has a mind of its own. 00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:44.280 While completely inert and seemingly normal  inside their red box, when removed and even   00:06:44.280 --> 00:06:49.560 partially constructed, the Lego comes to life  and begins playing out its roles - from planes   00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:56.040 to tanks to hospitals to war zones. And these Lego  creations are extremely committed to their parts. 00:06:56.760 --> 00:07:00.420 After finding the box, the young boys did  what all children do when they happened   00:07:00.420 --> 00:07:05.640 upon a box full of lego: They started building.  And thanks to their vast juvenile imaginations,   00:07:05.640 --> 00:07:09.780 it didn’t take long for them to construct  an impressive Lego city in the living room.   00:07:10.500 --> 00:07:15.540 But a standard city full of Lego, running  smoothly, is no fun. The boys needed to   00:07:15.540 --> 00:07:20.220 introduce a little extra excitement to the  proceedings - like, say, a team of bank robbers. 00:07:20.940 --> 00:07:25.560 The one thing the two young boys don’t expect  is for the bank robbers, when introduced to   00:07:25.560 --> 00:07:30.540 the city, to start independently planning and  executing a heist on the city’s biggest bank.   00:07:31.140 --> 00:07:33.780 Still, there are worse ways  to kill a rainy Sunday. 00:07:34.500 --> 00:07:37.800 Back on the ground of the Lego city, the  other getaway vehicles are running into   00:07:37.800 --> 00:07:41.040 trouble. The other car had initially  managed to pull ahead from the police,   00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:46.440 but while trying to cross a bridge, it runs into  an unexpected roadblock. Literally. The Lego   00:07:46.440 --> 00:07:51.240 police have built a roadblock on the other side  of the bridge, and now it’s too late to reverse. 00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:56.280 “Open fire!” An enraged Lego police captain  yells to his assembled squadron behind the   00:07:56.280 --> 00:07:59.100 barricades, and they raise the guns and do so. 00:07:59.820 --> 00:08:03.540 Lego bullets pepper the getaway car.  They can’t drive through the barricade,   00:08:03.540 --> 00:08:08.160 all they can do is make a sharp left turn  and hope to avoid the onslaught. Instead,   00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:11.340 they smash through the Lego  barricade and tumble off the bridge.   00:08:12.180 --> 00:08:16.260 The car sails into the freezing Lego  river, where the sudden cold paralyzes   00:08:16.260 --> 00:08:21.120 the robbers and the getaway driver inside.  They go into shock and drown moments later. 00:08:21.840 --> 00:08:26.640 Across the Lego city, the van containing the  hacker, the getaway driver, and another robber   00:08:26.640 --> 00:08:30.960 has somehow blended in with the traffic and has  managed to escape the relentless police chase.   00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:36.240 Everyone inside the van breathes a sigh of relief,  knowing they’ve already done better than most of   00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:40.620 their fellow criminals tonight. If they manage to  make it through, there’ll be much to celebrate. 00:08:41.220 --> 00:08:46.500 For them, the next stage of the mission is clear:  They need to make their way to a warehouse in the   00:08:46.500 --> 00:08:50.520 industrial district, their designated drop off  area, where they could hide their stolen money   00:08:50.520 --> 00:08:56.040 and disappear like leaves in the wind. They’ve  already been through the hard parts: The planning,   00:08:56.040 --> 00:09:01.200 the robbery itself, the shootout, and car chase  with the police. They’re out of the woods now. 00:09:01.800 --> 00:09:03.240 Or so they thought. 00:09:03.900 --> 00:09:06.900 When they arrive at the warehouse  and drive inside, parking their van,   00:09:06.900 --> 00:09:12.780 they immediately realize that something is off.  But by now, it’s too late to do anything about   00:09:12.780 --> 00:09:17.280 it. They suddenly hear footsteps and the  screech of tires as heavy police tactical   00:09:17.280 --> 00:09:21.540 vehicles squeal into the warehouse all  around them, boxing them in. Lego SWAT   00:09:21.540 --> 00:09:25.140 Team Operatives climb out of each vehicle  and train their weapons on the trapped van. 00:09:25.140 --> 00:09:28.920 One of them yells, “We have you  surrounded. There’s no way out.   00:09:28.920 --> 00:09:31.880 Drop your weapons and surrender if  you want to walk out of here alive!” 00:09:31.880 --> 00:09:36.540 And so, with no other options,  this is exactly what they do.   00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:39.720 When they exit the vehicle with  their hands behind their heads,   00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:44.340 the Lego SWAT Team tackles them and claps  cuffs around their wrist. They’ll likely be   00:09:44.340 --> 00:09:48.900 spending the rest of their lives in jail for  this fiasco, but at least they get to live. 00:09:49.560 --> 00:09:53.880 Across the city, only four members of  the robbery team remain alive and free:   00:09:53.880 --> 00:09:57.840 The leader, the old timer, the rookie,  and the remaining getaway driver,   00:09:57.840 --> 00:10:01.920 all of whom narrowly managed to escape the  extensive police detail following them.   00:10:02.520 --> 00:10:06.780 It had been a mix of skill and blind luck,  but the leader knows that one thing about   00:10:06.780 --> 00:10:10.800 this whole situation has nothing to do with  luck: With all the planning they’d been doing,   00:10:10.800 --> 00:10:15.360 and the disabling of the bank’s security  system, how had the police been on them so fast? 00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:21.900 There’s only one logical answer: They’d been set  up. One member of the team was secretly working   00:10:21.900 --> 00:10:26.340 with the Lego city police, and they’d sold  the rest of them down the river. The leader   00:10:26.340 --> 00:10:30.600 doesn’t know who, specifically, ruined this  entire operation like that, but he intends   00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:34.860 to find out - And when he does, he’s going  to make them pay dearly for their betrayal. 00:10:35.520 --> 00:10:37.980 But for now, he stays quiet. He doesn’t want   00:10:37.980 --> 00:10:40.740 to show all his cards before they  made their way to the safe house,   00:10:40.740 --> 00:10:45.600 if it was even safe anymore. Still, they’ll  deal with that problem when they get to it. 00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:49.740 After a tense ten minutes of silent driving,  they reach the planned rendezvous point:   00:10:49.740 --> 00:10:53.880 Another warehouse in the city docks, built  against the section of blue carpet that the   00:10:53.880 --> 00:10:57.660 young boys who made this world intended  to represent the ocean. Here, they’d wait   00:10:57.660 --> 00:11:01.500 for a speedboat chartered by their employers  to pick up them and their ill-gotten gains. 00:11:01.500 --> 00:11:03.480 If they survive that long. 00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:07.800 The getaway driver parks the car out of  view in the abandoned oceanside warehouse   00:11:07.800 --> 00:11:13.200 and the criminals inside pile out, breathing  carefully and stretching their little Lego legs.   00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:17.640 There’s tension in the air. And, of course,  it’s the leader who breaks the silence. 00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:20.700 “Someone here hasn’t been entirely honest with   00:11:20.700 --> 00:11:24.720 us,” he says, taking out his Lego  handgun. “There’s no way the cops   00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:27.540 could get on us that quickly if they  hadn’t been given some kind of tip.” 00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:33.720 Another grim silence falls over the room. The old  timer, the rookie, and the getaway driver share a   00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:38.580 suspicious glance. Who among them could be the  imposter? The daring escape they’d managed to   00:11:38.580 --> 00:11:43.200 perform no longer gives them comfort. The millions  of dollars in the trunk of their little Lego car   00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:47.340 may still be forfeit, if one of the people  in this warehouse is a police informant. 00:11:47.880 --> 00:11:50.400 The silence is once again broken by the leader,   00:11:50.400 --> 00:11:54.480 who raises his weapon and shoots the  getaway driver dead. The rookie and the   00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:58.140 old timer are horrified by the seemingly  callous and random display of violence. 00:11:58.140 --> 00:12:00.480 “What’s wrong with you?” the old timer barks. 00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:03.540 The rookie chimes in with, “What  made you think he was the mole?” 00:12:03.540 --> 00:12:06.240 The leader just laughs, his weapon still raised,   00:12:06.240 --> 00:12:09.480 its barrel drifting back and forth  between the old timer and the rookie.   00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:14.040 His indifference to violence frightens  them. He seems unpredictable and dangerous. 00:12:14.760 --> 00:12:19.380 “No reason,” the leader says. “He’d already  done his job, we don’t need a getaway driver   00:12:19.380 --> 00:12:24.360 anymore. And getting rid of him narrows down  my options: Which one of you squealed on us?” 00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:28.980 The rookie pulls out his own gun and aims it  at the leader. The old timer follows suit,   00:12:28.980 --> 00:12:33.240 not wanting to be left out. They  now have a full-on Mexican standoff   00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:36.600 on their hands. Only the leader seems unfazed. 00:12:36.600 --> 00:12:40.020 The rookie says, “If what you say  about there being a squealer is true,   00:12:40.020 --> 00:12:43.020 how would you know it’d be one of us,  and not someone from the other teams?” 00:12:43.020 --> 00:12:47.700 The leader shrugs. “I can’t know for sure,  but I’m not going to take any chances.” 00:12:48.360 --> 00:12:51.960 He levels the gun at the rookie and  prepares to fire, when suddenly,   00:12:51.960 --> 00:12:56.460 a nearby window shatters. It’s the police.  Their little internal dispute would have   00:12:56.460 --> 00:13:00.060 to wait if they wanted to keep a single  Lego cent of the money they’d stolen. 00:13:00.600 --> 00:13:04.020 Heavily-armed Lego police officers  bust open the door with a battering   00:13:04.020 --> 00:13:09.000 ram while others climb through windows.  It’s another classic ambush. The leader   00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:13.020 and the old timer turn their guns towards the  invading Lego cops and start firing wildly,   00:13:13.020 --> 00:13:17.940 shooting some and scaring away others as they  run towards the car. They can’t escape here   00:13:17.940 --> 00:13:21.360 without the money - If they don’t bring the  money, then all this chaos was for nothing. 00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:26.340 The leader runs across the warehouse, narrowly  dodging the hail of Lego bullets firing all   00:13:26.340 --> 00:13:31.380 around him, and skids to a stop behind the  getaway car. Even with gunshots ringing out   00:13:31.380 --> 00:13:35.580 from every direction, the leader keeps his  cool and reaches into the car. He manages   00:13:35.580 --> 00:13:39.780 to find the largest duffel bag and slings it  over his shoulder. Even if he doesn’t get all   00:13:39.780 --> 00:13:43.380 of the money, he can run away with most of  it, when that chartered speedboat arrives. 00:13:43.380 --> 00:13:48.660 Nobody involved in this even notices when the  roof lifts entirely off of the warehouse. The   00:13:48.660 --> 00:13:53.040 two huge young boys stare in from above, curious  about where the story is heading down below.   00:13:53.700 --> 00:13:57.840 They’re here just in time to see the tense  shootout continue as the desperate leader   00:13:57.840 --> 00:14:01.380 pops out from his cover and returns fire  against the advancing line of police. 00:14:02.160 --> 00:14:06.480 The old timer tries his best to hold his own,  holding a gun in each hand and firing wildly,   00:14:06.480 --> 00:14:11.100 but his recklessness soon catches up with him.  Outnumbered, the cops with Lego shotguns and   00:14:11.100 --> 00:14:15.600 assault rifles unload on him, leaving him  every bit as dead as the getaway driver. 00:14:16.500 --> 00:14:21.600 Ducking away to avoid the same fate, the leader  notices something: The rookie is nowhere to be   00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:28.860 seen. Not dead, just gone. He knew it - Of course,  the rookie had been the mole all along. He should   00:14:28.860 --> 00:14:33.360 never have trusted the little creep. It had  been a perfect plan, and he’d ruined everything! 00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:36.600 Over the din of gunfire, the  leader hears something else:   00:14:36.600 --> 00:14:39.540 A boat motor! It’s the chartered speedboat,   00:14:39.540 --> 00:14:44.040 his ticket out of this nightmare of bullets  and broken promises. He might win, after all! 00:14:44.700 --> 00:14:47.820 He turns and sees the speedboat entering  the submerged part of the warehouse,   00:14:47.820 --> 00:14:51.300 just out of view of the police strike  force. It would be a risky move,   00:14:51.300 --> 00:14:54.240 but he knows he can make it.  He doesn’t have any choice. 00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:58.140 Throwing caution to the wind, the  leader turns and runs towards the boat,   00:14:58.140 --> 00:15:02.220 dodging every bullet that the police fire  at him. He’s doing it! He’s doing it! 00:15:02.220 --> 00:15:04.800 He jumps into the boat, and the boat takes off,   00:15:04.800 --> 00:15:07.980 speeding away from the warehouse.  He laughs in crazed relief,   00:15:07.980 --> 00:15:12.840 still lugging the duffel bag full of money off  his aching shoulder. He’s out. He’s home free! 00:15:12.840 --> 00:15:17.700 Until a giant hand from above descends  and grabs his Lego boat. He’s lifted   00:15:17.700 --> 00:15:21.600 up and thrown back into the red box he was  originally taken from - While the two young   00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:25.920 boys start taking apart the rest of the Lego  city and tidying it back into the box too. 00:15:25.920 --> 00:15:30.180 “My dad will be home soon,” one of the young  boys says. “We better clean up before he’s back.” 00:15:30.180 --> 00:15:35.160 Check out the Dr. Bob Patreon and become  a junior researcher today!
