## Summary

*The following is a summary written for this wiki. It only hits the major points of the episode and, as such, should not be used as a substitute for listening to the episode as intended by the creators.*
### Main Story

Tara and Lily contact The Amelia Project due to being on the run from the police, and needing to disappear. To get to the interview, they are sent all around the country so that they cannot be followed and do not know where they are. They explain their 'Looter's Law' to The Interviewer, which essentially is a set of rules they created that states that they will only burgle something if it is a challenge and there is no financial gain from it. He explains that part of the reason they sent them all over the country is to test their commitment, since The Amelia Project only accepts clients who are determined and interesting.

Agents Cole and Haines are listening to the tape and discussing whether they believe that The Amelia Project are truly only in it for the challenge. Given the list of clients they have had, it is possible they are actually doing it for the money and influence. They continue to listen to the tape.

Back in the interview, Tara and Lily say they respect petty crime but have surpassed it, which relieves The Interviewer since it would mean they wouldn't rob him, given it wouldn't be a challenge. They counter that it would be a challenge to steal from his safe while he is there, without him noticing.

They then go on to discuss the Buckingham Palace burglary, and they tell him that they just wanted to steal the Queen's toothbrush to see if they could. They got caught in a tourist's photograph when exiting the building. This photo spread and they became famous, and even have an offer to make their story into a movie. Tara and Lily want to fake their deaths and live a life of luxury.

The Interviewer's solution is that they fund their life by making the movie and living off of the royalties, and ensure it is a success by their death's creating the perfect ending to it. This will be a car chase with them being pursued by cops and culminate in them falling off a cliff and crashing into the sea. For payment, The Interviewer wants them to break into Westminster and get them files on important people so The Amelia Project can get their number into the right hands.

### Epilogue

Tara and Lily gives Haines a box of tapes from The Interviewer's safe. In return they are given a pardon. The tapes are the recordings of the previous client's episodes.

### Notable Events
