An inside job is a crime, usually larceny, robbery, or embezzlement, committed by a person or persons in a position of trust who is authorized to access a location or procedure with little or no supervision, e.g., a key employee or manager. The perpetrator can also be a former employee who still has specialized knowledge necessary to facilitate the crime. Pulling off The Caper can be quite difficult even for an expert criminal. Guards can have unpredictable schedules. There are likely to be alarms and other security systems with which they are unfamiliar, or even completely unaware of. And there's always the possibility that they stage a successful break-in, only to discover the MacGuffin has been moved elsewhere. All of the above wrinkles are made at least a little smoother when the perpetrator has an insider's knowledge of the target, or even the authority to make changes (to guard schedules, security systems, etc.) to make the target more vulnerable. This perpetrator may be a lone operator pulling off a plan of their own design, the mastermind of a team of crooks, or an "inside man" in the employ of a third-party accomplice or accomplices. If the latter, they may be a willing participant or the victim of blackmail, Mind Control, or some other means of coercion. Most of the time, the inside man (or woman) is either allowed to leave unless they blab about the caper or are killed off to prevent said person from becoming a likely POI from pointing out the real mastermind of the incident. Truth in Television: in Real Life, embezzlement and other theft by employees is one of the top causes of loss in businesses such as retail, outpacing external theft by a wide margin. Can overlap with The Mole when the inside man is part of an external criminal organization. Inside jobs are a common method of pulling off The Caper, with the inside man consequently being a member of the Caper Crew. Generally unrelated to Outside Man, Inside Man, unless the "inside man" ultimately undergoes the same Heel–Face Turn as the outside man. For the film of the same name that relies on this trope, see Inside Man. The animated series Inside Job (2021) has no relation to this trope, instead being named after the "X was an inside job" phrasing of many conspiracy theories. Note: as a trope dealing with betrayal, expect spoilers to be unmarked! Examples |

In Henry's Crime, Frank, the same bank guard who caught Henry during the original Bank Robbery, spots Henry and Max scoping out the bank and works out what they are planning. He then offers to join them—letting them know when the maximum amount of cash will be in the vault and deactivating the alarms—as a way of both funding his retirement and getting revenge on the bank for refusing to pay for his wife's treatment. | |

In Cliffhanger the bad guys rob a US government plane transporting $100 million in uncirculated $1,000 bills while it is flying over the Rockies.

The Lookout: The entire plot revolves around a bank robbery where the would-be robbers have to convince Chris, a young brain-damaged guy who works there as the janitor, to cooperate with them. They do this through a combination of the promise of financial reward, painting it as something daring to do to get out of his currently crappy life, and some feigned romantic interest from their pretty female accomplice. | |

Trevor (2020): The medical team suspects that Dr. Maddison, who found Trevor’s body and declared him dead, tampered with something to kill him and end their contracts, but can’t figure out what. It turns out he didn’t kill Trevor, but faked Trevor’s death, with their best guess being that he somehow tampered with the sedatives used to subdue Trevor. | |

Implied by the title, in Inside Man. It's actually averted, as the ending reveals none of the robbers were bank employees. The title actually refers to Russell's plan revolving around him remaining inside the vault after the robbery is apparently over. | |

In Two Little Girls in Blue, the FBI start to believe that the Frawley twins were kidnapped by someone who knew the Frawleys didn't have much money but that Steve Frawley had started working for a wealthy investment firm, leading them to suspect it was set up by someone high up in the company who knows how to move and hide large sums of cash. Suspicion particularly falls on chief financial advisor Gregg Stanford - who is vying for the top job, has never been afraid to step on people to achieve his ambitions and may be in need of cash quickly if his wife divorces him - and director Norman Bond - who also covets the CEO position, hired Steve at the company above all other candidates, and had an acrimonious divorce from his ex-wife who subsequently went missing. It's Gregg, although Norman's hands aren't clean either. | |

In one episode of It Takes a Thief (2005), Jon is charged with robbing a mechanic's business (as opposed to houses like the show normally covers). Rather than risk setting off the alarm and having to pick a lock, Jon just bribes an employee to not set the alarm and unlock the back door. Naturally, with all the security features disabled, Jon effortlessly cleans the place out. | |

Deep Rising: Finnigan eventually figures out that Hanover was working with someone on the cruise liner for the planned heist that never materialized. That person turns out to be Canton (the ship's owner), who was responsible for sabotaging the ship's systems before the monster happened to show up. His motive was to sink the ship so he could reap the insurance money since they were actually operating at a loss. This revelation infuriates the Captain, since it's entirely Canton's fault that they couldn't get out a distress signal. | |

Crossing Lines: The two-part first season finale, "New Scars, Old Wounds," had bank secretary Anika Hauten found dead. Anika previously appeared in an earlier episode, "The Animals," where she and Carl Hickman were among many being held hostage in the bank by a gang of thugs. As the season finale revealed, however, Anika secretly robbed the bank during the hostage situation, doing so under the belief that the gang would be blamed for the theft. While Carl was accused of killing Anika, her killer was revealed to be Philip Genovese, whose account was illegally shut down by Anika, with Phillip torturing and killing Anika for robbing him. | |

The Town: Subverted. The robbery at Claire's bank did not involve an employee accomplice but the cops think that there might have been one. When Claire quits her job, it raises red flags and when her relationship with Doug is discovered, she is accused of being that accomplice even though the audience knows she is innocent. Played straight as well. The later robbery at Fenway Park involves an inside man, a Fenway employee who owes Fergie a lot of money and hopes to wipe out his debt by providing the robbers with access to the money room. |

They find out that he is about to guard a very valuable platinum shipment and they suspect that the shipment will be attacked by robbers who are likely to kill the guards. What they fail to consider is that the robbery is actually an inside job and the Number is the mastermind behind it (while many robberies are inside jobs, they seldom involve premeditated murder, the only crime the Machine detects). | |

In "Silver Blaze", two of Sherlock Holmes' hints are "the curious incident of the dog in the night-time" (it was completely silent) and the fact that powdered opium was put in a dish spicy enough to hide its taste. Both point at an inside job, because a dog would not have kept silent had it sensed an intruder, nor could an outsider have arranged for a spicy dish to be served on that particular night. | |

Breaking Bad: Walter steals hard-to-get equipment and chemicals from his high school to kick-start his meth-cooking operation. The fact that there's no sign of forced entry immediately tips off DEA agent Hank that it was an inside job. For a short time, Jesse skims some of the excess product he and Walt produce for Gus Fring to sell on his own. It comes out that Gus Fring's operation is supplied with methylamine by Lydia, who facilitates its theft from her employer, Madrigal. Later, Lydia uses her inside knowledge of Madrigal's freight shipments to tip Walt's crew off that a train hauling a tanker car full of methylamine will be vulnerable while passing through a "dead zone" with no cell coverage. |
