Okay, now you're all going to see the secret of the pendant,
as well as find out what Bruce's legacy really is.
Franca!
In the vastness of space, there is but one man ever known as the Pirate King.
That man, Bruce, left this pendant to his beloved daughter, Franca.
Inside it is a memory chip, which was embedded in his artificial eye.
This chip holds a complete record of the universe's greatest heist,
a job that was once even said to be impossible:
the robbery of ten billion space dollars from the Central Bank's vault.
Central Bank?!
I've never heard about any heists like that!
If Central Bank was ever broken into, it'd be huge news!
That's exactly why they can't announce it to the public.
Central Bank is the backbone and also the very symbol of the intercosmic financial system.
They can't have that place going down.
Well, for now, just have a look at this.
The ship will soon be entering the atmosphere.
We ask that all passengers please have your seatbelts fastened.
Hey? You all right, Franca?
Yeah...
The final exam for Central Bank executive trainees
will begin at 10:00 am local time at Central Bank's main facility.
I etch out today with my finger
On the dusty hood of a car
As the rain shower passed over
It vanished just like love
Is there something in your heart
You can't get rid of?
Beat your invisible wings
We'll fight back against the wind
That gusts at us so relentlessly
We'll stand firm against it
With steadfast emotion! Go!
We continue running on our way
To a place promised, where sandstorms whirl
Tonight is the night
We're gonna make it through
On to our destination
Looks like we're there.

Well, the planet itself is one big bank after all.

Hey, Mister.
We can consider this video to be our treasure map, right?
Explain it to them, Swamp.
In order to get the information he needed to pull off the heist,
Bruce decided to slip into Central Bank first.
He went in disguise, under the assumed identity of "Otis Ray."

My name is Otis Ray. Nice to be working with you all.
I'd like to start right away by having you all take a look at this business plan I have drawn up.
Planetary Mine Excavation Project in the Upsilon Star System
Upsilon System According to the a report made by the Primary Planetary Survey Commission...
To make himself accepted among the Central Bank employees,
who have a very strong sense of superiority,
Bruce put a lot of energy into his work there.
Of course he never forgot about his true purpose.
GIGABANKS DESIGN SKETCH
He did not forget about the ten billion space dollars in Central Bank's vault that he was after.
It really is impressive that you visited four planets this past month
and were able to bring them all into the project.
Well, it's still too early to get excited.
It all hinges on approval from the investment division.
It'll be all right!
The bank president has a lot of faith in you after all.
Alex, I want you to fly out to Columbus.
Yes, sir.
Kris, you go to Teuton.
Yes, sir.
You're going to have your work cut out for you.
Yes, sir!
Bruce spent a year there,
produced results using his own methods and abilities,
and won their confidence.
Don't move.
It's me! Me, Swamp!
C'mon, man, don't joke around like that!
Long time, no see, Swamp.
Hey, have you porked out again or what?
Jeez, that's a heck of a greeting after not seeing me for so long.
So then, I take it that's our mark this time around?
Yep, that's it all right.
I'd say this is the ultimate job.
It really is amazing.
It's amazing, but at the same time...
This is...
This is Central Bank's vault, said to be the universe's most difficult,
or even impossible, to break into, even though no one even knows what makes it impossible!
These are the blueprints for the old Gigabanks.
How the hell did you ever get a hold of these?!
This is only the first step.
See, there's this certain place where I'm now having a certain something made using these plans.
Certain something?
Hey, you just look forward to seeing it, all right?
Your role in this has also been decided already.
Whoa, now hold on! I haven't even decided I'm doing this yet!
A job this big only comes once in a lifetime.
I don't know that I'm even ready for it.
You do have a point there.
I hear you, I really do.
I've finished my usual rounds.
All right, good work.
That shows the patrol routes
Security Area Surveillance Map That shows the patrol routes

Perfect.
You did a good job.
It's no big deal.
By the way, Swamp...
Huh?
You think you could take time off at some point next week?
Sure, I guess so.
There's a little something I want to show you.
I called Hank and Norman too.
Seriously?
We're finally getting to the good part.
Yeah...
Where's this?
That's Graceland, the way it used to be.
Doesn't look a thing like the Graceland we know now.
D-Boni!
Let me introduce the last member taking part in this operation.
This is D-Boni.
Yo!
Show him the item, D-Boni.
What the heck is that?
It's a scale replica of Central Bank's vault, or "Gigabanks" as it's nicknamed.
That thing's a vault?
Yeah...
This is a 1:1000 scale model of Gigabanks that Bruce gave me at the time as a kind of memento.
Gigabanks is constructed of twelve fixed and fifty movable sections,
and the movable sections rotate using the fixed parts as axes.
The vault's distinguishing characteristic is this:
any withdrawals or deposits can only be processed through the unit's "center ball,"
but since the five sections that contain funds are assembled on the vault's surface level,
and then directly connected to the funds transfer room via elevator,
the operator of the vault is never able to come into direct contact with those funds.
Care for a look inside?
Huh?
What the hell is that?
Don't ask me any questions as to why they'd make a vault like this.
The thing you need to be sure to remember
is that Gigabanks is reshuffled after each authentication and also once every thirty minutes.
Even if you do manage to break into it,
the moment you lose your bearings it's all over.
It will then become a maze you'll spend the rest of eternity in.
A regular Hotel California, huh?
Well then, I guess I'll have me a little look inside too.
Whoa, man, cut it out!
I made this thing to serve as a simulation.
What's the point if I don't actually use it then?
Plus, it cost me at least a hundred million space dollars to build it.
A hundred million space dollars?!
I guess you could say it's like the money he put into the pot to play.
You could buy a used space battleship for that kind of money.
But why did he go to the trouble of building a copy of Gigabanks
somewhere as remote as Graceland?
You'd think it'd have been easier if he had done it on a closer planet.
Yeah, exactly!
Then we wouldn't have had to go through all this trouble.
It's because that's the planet he met Mama on.
Huh?
I'm sure that's why...
Take a look at this.
In all, there are four security measures that stand between us and Gigabanks.
First, there's the master key.
Next, there's a voiceprint.

After that, you're as good as into Gigabanks.
But the bank president's probably the only one who can get through all that.
A three-tiered biometric authentication process is one hell of a hurdle for us to have to clear!
C'mon, man, I've already thought up a plan for that.
What is it?
Mr. Ray is here to see you, sir.
Okay, let him in.
Pardon the intrusion.
Hey, there, Otis!
Here is the mid-term report regarding the project.
Nice work.
Hmm... Three out of four mines anticipate over a two hundred percent profit increase within two years.
Ah, I see, I see...
Nice, very nice indeed!
Hey, how's it going, D-Boni?
This is a nice piece of work.
I see, no good, huh?
Well, I'm sure you'll figure something out.
Then, finally, on the evening before the heist...
Synchronize your watches to 20: 1 5 in 3... 2... 1!
We'll carry things out as planned.
Meet at Central Bank.
MISTER
Yeah?
Is this Bruce?
It is you, isn't it?
Yeah...
So why the sudden call?
Tomorrow, I'm hitting Central Bank.
Aren't you going to say anything?
What do you want me to say?
If you say you're gonna do it, then you're gonna do it, right?
That's the truth!
Just be sure you come home after the party.
Right...
Oh, hey, that reminds me, I ran into Little Bear a while back.
You mean that guy's still alive?!
Yup, and he hasn't changed a bit.
Action!
Good morning.
Ordinarily, the five vault rooms,
which is to say all of the money in Gigabanks,
do not all come together on the uppermost level.
There is, however, one exception.
Good morning, Mr. Ray!
In the case of a large earthquake, fire or other unforeseen event,
MAGNITUDE 7.9 In the case of a large earthquake, fire or other unforeseen event,
Disaster Response Emergency Program INITIATED In the case of a large earthquake, fire or other unforeseen event,

and all of the funds are assembled on the surface level of the vault,
so that they can be carried off to a safe location.
Good morning.
Hey, good morning, Otis!
Hey, it's me.
Don't let anyone in here for the next hour.
No phone calls either.
Understood, sir.
It's the bank president.
Well, no need to report if it's the president.
Yeah, I guess you're right.

Huh? The president's gone all the way to the last checkpoint.
I'm telling you there's no need to report it!
Ah, it's back on.
The president's not there.
He probably went into the center ball.
That's the only place where there are no surveillance cameras.
Wild!
So that is the center of Gigabanks?
That's right.
There's only one person in the world who's seen it from that angle.
Bingo!
What happened?!
It looks like there's been an explosion in Gigabanks!
What?!
Disaster Response Emergency Program INITIATED
You're excused! Both of you get down there too!
Yessir!
In the event of a first-degree disaster,
Gigabanks automatically initiates a program to release all of its money
by shuffling all sections containing funds to the top level.
Thank you for coming!
We've come here to recover the funds
in accordance with what's outlined in the disaster response manual.
This way!
All right then, it's safely in our custody.
Ah... Right!
Huh?
What's he...
Is this... No, it couldn't be!
Mr. Ray?
Huh?!
Mr. Ray!
No way...
That rocks! That totally rocks!
It's too much. That's friggin' hilarious!
That guy's unreal! It's too much. That's friggin' hilarious!
Well, there's your complete record of the Central Bank heist.
So how about it? It's going to be one hell of a job.
You still wanna go?
How can you even ask that now?
The answer's obvious.
Where are these waterdrops
That travel along my cheek coming from?
Tell me...
I grabbed the rule that says we can't turn back time
By the collar
I resist the fading memories
Even with the feelings here
But I'm sure they'll come to kill me
From out of all the days that have gone by
There's only one thing I can believe in
I cried until my voice was hoarse
Come to me
Be by my side
Okay?
After that, Bruce gave each of us the cut we had agreed on.
He put the rest in a vault on Graceland and sealed it away.
So how did this latest job go?
It was a blast.
