[Mike learns that the police have Gus’ laptop in their possession. He starts breaking apart his cell phone after hanging up.]
Oh, yeah. We're boned. Well... You know how they say, "It's been a pleasure"? It hasn't.
Are you gonna tell us about the laptop? Where are you goin'?
I'm getting the hell outta dodge, kid. And so should you. It's just a matter of time.
Mike, where is the laptop?
What the hell difference does it make? They got it, end of story.
[Walter looks at Mike]
[scoffs] APD Northwest Area Command on Second. They tagged it, they filed it. It's in the system, and they locked it in their evidence room.
Alright. Alright, so describe the building.
[chuckles] Describe it? How about how you describe Fort Knox? And what are you going to do? Are you going to put on your black leotard and go dangling on the clothesline? It's a building full of cops, what else do you need to know? And why in the hell am I talking to you? [turns to leave]
Mike, we gotta do something.
I am doing something!
He's good with this stuff, okay? Just give him a chance.
Hey look, that laptop might as well be on the Moon. They build these evidence rooms like bank vaults, because guess what? Lunatics like you want to break into 'em. But unlike a bank vault, this is a place that is guarded twenty-four hours a day by the police. There's no way you're getting it out of there.
Who said that we have to get it out of there? We just need to destroy what's on it.
Oh, so now you want to blow up a police station?
I don't believe I said that, no.
Nursing home full of old folks just whet your appetite, now you want to kill a bunch of cops?
I never said anything about killing anybody. I am, however, considering the possibility of a device.
A device?
Yes, a small device. Say this device gets filed into evidence, now it is inside that room.
What about a magnet?
You want to commit a whole other crime just to get this bomb of yours into evidence?
Bo–Who said bomb? I said a device...
Yo, what about like a magnet?
...an incendiary device. One quick fire is all it would take.
You don't think they have fire suppression? I'm not talking about sprinklers, I'm talking about halon, because halon doesn't destroy evidence.
A magnet though, maybe–
Right, so a bomb then. Maybe we plant a bomb outside.
Oh, actually I knew a crew out of Fort Worth that tried to blow up an evidence room from outside. 'Bout all they did was take out a couple of hedges. You are probably talking about two feet of reinforced concrete.
Right, then we—
Or, what about a magnet?
What magnet? What about it?
You know, it's just like... [imitates the laptop impacting on a wall]
