== Plot ==
Los Angeles, 2018 - An armored truck makes a stop at a coffee shop. Within moments, a team of robbers led by Ray Merrimen ([[Pablo Schreiber]]) attacks and tries to break into the truck. The guards attempt to defend themselves and stand their ground, leading the robbers to kill them. Police officers arrive on the scene and engage in a shootout with the robbers. Eventually, Merrimen and his crew make off with the empty Armored truck, but he reprimands Donnie ([[O'Shea Jackson, Jr.]]) for killing the first guard.
In the morning, Detective Nick "Big Nick" O'Brien (Gerard Butler) goes to investigate the crime scene. Nick and F.B.I. Agent Lobbin Bob Golightly get into a sarcastic argument. He has been investigating Merrimen and his crew for a while, whereas Merrimen holds a grudge with Nick for killing one of his guys. Nick finds Donnie at the bar he works at and makes friendly chat before later cornering Donnie in his car and knocking him out. Nick brings Donnie to a house where his gang of officers interrogate Donnie over Merrimen and his plans. Donnie explains that he only got in with Merrimen and his crew because he's a great getaway driver and Merrimen was impressed with his skills. Through a flashback, we learn that Merrimen is planning to rob the Federal Reserve on Friday of that week, with the intention of taking roughly $30 million in unmarked bills that would otherwise get shredded.
Nick spots Donnie at a restaurant with Merrimen and his crew, which makes them suspicious when Nick calls Donnie out. At their hideout, Merrimen has his right-hand man Levi (Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson) hit Donnie and interrogate him to make sure he hasn't been talking to Nick about their plans. Donnie assures him that he hasn't told him anything about the robbery. Nick goes to a strip club and goes home with a stripper. In the morning, Merrimen finds him but does nothing, having found him because he set the stripper on Nick to get info on him.

Later on, Levi's daughter has a date come over to pick her up for a school dance. Levi pulls the guy aside to introduce him to Merrimen and the rest of their crew to intimidate him and make sure he does nothing to hurt Levi's daughter, or else the boy will utterly regret it. When he leaves, Merrimen and the guys have a laugh. Meanwhile, Nick drunkenly crashes a small get-together between Debbie and some of her friends.
