Second phase is heist or robbery. Its about plan. You are do record of heist plan. With your movement, actions like lockpicking you record plan. All actions take some time. Your plan you can rewind, replay and re-plan whenever. Sometimes you have a limited amount of time before the property owner returns, other times you have to be quiet and not draw attention. Anyway, try to do as much as possible in the shortest possible time! Try to be as efficient as possible. The supply of things you can take away is limited, so choose the most expensive things. When your plan is complete, press launch to heist 'on live' and make popcorn time! But if your plan will gone wrong [you exceed the time limit, you miss shut down the alarm, your heist is interrupted in some other way] turn on panic mode. Now you have to complete the heist yourself in realtime. No rewind, no time. Just grab what you can and run away.

Accomplices are sometimes necessary in robberies. For example, if you don't have the required knowledge to open locks, decode alarms, etc. You have control over all accomplices. Later it is necessary to divide the money from the loot.
