ACT TWO

[INT. PRECINCT, BULLPEN - DAY]

Hunk and Pidge at Pidge's desk. Allura arrives.

ALLURA

Pidge, anything from the other victims?

PIDGE

Keith's downtown finishing the canvas. But what we do know is, the Keslers and the Pastoris didn't

know each other, and neither one of them knew the Bruners or Susan Delgado.

ALLURA

Well, so much for the personal angle.

HUNK

Four luxury buildings, four major scores, and we got nothing. If I'm these guys, I have no incentive to quit now, either.

PIDGE

Yeah, well, whoever they are, they definitely have some righteous trade skills.

[Allura hands them a CSU report.]

ALLURA

About that... Forensics just came back on the Delgado's place. They found brass shavings in the lock

mechanism on the front door.

HUNK

Brass shavings?

PIDGE

They used a bump key. Bad guys file down a standard house key, then they use a mallet to drive into

the lock. Separates the tumblers like billiard balls.

HUNK

Dude, I know what a bump key is.

PIDGE

No, you don't.

HUNK

The hardware on the Delgado's door was a high-end import. No way a standard bump key would work.

PIDGE

No. They'd have to use something special. Something your average mope couldn't rig.

ALLURA

What are you thinking?

[Pidge takes a seat at their computer. Starts bringing something up on the screen.]

PIDGE

Well, I busted this guy a while back. Specialized in bump keys. And he's not afraid to get a little blood on his paws either.

ALLURA

Bump keys and violence. I like him already.

[Pidge pulls up a file on the computer]

HUNK (reading screen)

Evan Mitchell.

ALLURA

Evan Mitchell?

PIDGE

Yeah. You know him?

ALLURA (chuckles)

He's a legacy. His dad and his granddad are legends in the industry.

PIDGE

Yeah, I collared him on a jewel heist out on 47th. He just did a nickel upstate.

ALLURA

When did Mitchell get out?

PIDGE

Two weeks before our first heist.
