This time Mister and the rest watch a video contained on a chip inside Franca's pendant. The video shows all of what Franca's father, Bruce, saw during his biggest heist, stealing 100 million space dollars or however much it was from the Central Bank. He first becomes an employee of the bank under a false identity and eventually works himself up the ladder to where he's put in charge of various projects -- enough access for him to get detailed plans of the bank's vault and security system. With those in hand, he creates a plan to pull off the biggest heist ever, of course with some help from his friends, including Swamp. On the planet Graceland he had a replica of the bank's Rubik's cube-esque vault to practice on -- cost quite a bit, but the payoff is even bigger if he can pull it off. But why have that on Graceland and not somewhere closer to the bank? Franca says that's where he met her mother....
The day of heist finally comes and the plan goes into action. Swamp impersonates a security officer as Bruce goes through the security checks with voice recordings and false eyes and plain ol' sneaking through vents to get to the central vault, and after a bit of spinning around he makes it outside where he can set some explosives to trigger the bank's emergency system to raise the vaults with the loot up to the top where a ship piloted by his accomplices is waiting... Is there really that much money in those cubes? Anyways, it's pretty much the perfect heist...Bruce is quite the cool guy, ain't he? And that's about all we know about him after this time. A master at his craft -- though more thief than pirate ;) No sisters and not much action, so this episode wasn't quite as exciting as the previous ones, though Bruce himself and the way he went about the big heist was a bit interesting to see. Hopefully next time things can pick up a bit... and I wouldn't mind more Franca ;)
