Shortly before opening night, the drill breaks down. The team is forced to ask Terry Benedict (who was the crew's target in Ocean's Eleven) for funds to buy a replacement. Benedict, who also seeks retribution against Bank, offers the funds for a portion of his share of the take and demands that Ocean also steal Banks' private diamond collection in celebration of his Five Diamond Awards. The jewels are valued at over $250 million and secured in a case at the top of the casino. Ocean has Linus Caldwell get romantically close to Bank's assistant, Abigail Sponder, to gain access to the case. Secretly, Benedict contracts master thief François "The Night Fox" Toulour to intercept the diamonds.
