"Good afternoon." "My husband and I belong to Calvary Baptist in Redmont." "I'm special agent Rick Kendall, FBI." "Oh." "Oh, I'm sorry." "I thought you were Jehovah's Witness." "They left me a note saying they'd be back..." "What in the world?" "I just need a few minutes of your time, ma'am." "One of your neighbours, Paul Travis, has applied to the FBI Academy." "I'm doing a background check on him." "Paul?" "In the FBI?" "Oh, Lord." "SHE LAUGHS" "MOBILE PHONE RINGS" "Uh, excuse me for a moment." "This is Kendall." "Rick, this is Harris."

"I don't know, I guess." "All I saw was that gun." "POLICE RADIO:" ""..." "Bank robbery in Vedalia."" "Ray, you all right?" "Well, I'm fine, Arlen." "Why do you ask?" "I told him to stay in the hospital, but he wouldn't listen." "Any word from the roadblocks?" "Nothing yet." "The FBI's on their way." "How's Tommy?" "He broke both his legs and his collarbone, but he's stable." "Thank God." "How about you, Arlen?" "Well, I saw my entire life pass before my eyes." "That must've taken a while." "Don't you worry." "We'll get him." "CAR HORN HONKS" "So, rough day, Nat?" "They're all rough." "HE CHUCKLES" "Well, I got a good One for you today." "Two Irish guys sittin' at the end of a bar, right?"

""I went to St. Mary's, too."" "So he says, "What year did you graduate?"" "He says, "1979."" ""I graduated in 1979, too." ""Can you believe it?""

"My ex is a neat freak." "He had this obsession." "I had to do everything just like his mother did." "There were a tense and peculiar family, the Oedipuses." "Heh." "Think I like you, Parker." "Well, it's still early." "So, what happened with you and the cop?" "I found out he was cheating on me with a waitress from the Indian casino." "I hated that." "Your word's gotta be good, that's my basic rule." "Is your word good, Parker?" "Yep." "That's my basic problem." "How's that a problem?" "It is." "How?" "You have any cold beer?" "Yeah." "I don't usually do this." "Well, whisky clouds your judgment." "Lucky for you." "Parker." "It's not my fault." "DOG BARKS" "Oh, shit." "Ahem." "I'm special agent Rick Kendall, FBI."

"My partner, Deputy Meeker, and I always back up the guards." "ARLEN:" "Thanks, guys." "Drive down to Cora's, get some pie and coffee?" "Perfect call." "MAN:" "What?" "WOMAN:" "Oh, no."

"Tellers, put your hands on your head and back away from the counter now." "Everybody else, on the ground." "Were there dye packs in the bundles of bills?" "Always." "Here." "Oh, wicked." "Oh, these are neat." "So, he picked up the dye packs with the stacks of bills, and the dye packs were set to go off ten seconds after the money went through the door." "ARLEN:" "That's correct." "KENDALL:" "But the dye packs never exploded because the sensor went dead when the power was cut." "Right." "Our boy knows the delivery time of the money from the casino and the way to beat the security system." "Pretty clean." "So, what happened next?" "Well, I ran to the door, and... and I saw the getaway car." "The alarm is dead!" "Give me the phone." "Kate, give me the police." "We've been robbed." ""Unit 4, this is dispatch."" "It's for you."

"This is chief Samson Otreyo and his son Clifford." "How do you do?" "You're in charge of catching the man who did this?" "Yes, I am." "He is young." "Experience can be empty." "Innocence is always full." "Very nice to meet you." "How you feeling, honey?" "It really hurts." "All right." "I'll be right back." "OK." "Hello?" ""Hey, it's Parker."" "Hey." "I woke up, and you were gone." ""Yeah, I couldn't sleep."" "I slept like a baby." "You didn't have to clean up my place, you know." "You make me feel like a slob." ""I'm sorry." "That wasn't my intention." ""I just couldn't sleep."" "Where are you?" ""room 114, down the hall."" "I wonder if you could come down here." "What happened?" "So many marvellous people in this town," "I just don't know where to begin." "Ah..." "Hold on." "This is a gunshot wound." "Yep." "I need to get a doctor." "No, no, please." "Why?" "No." "Oh, shit, Parker." "It was you." "Ah..." "I need your help." "There's a deputy down the Hall with two broken legs." "I don't know you." "Natalie." "Wait." "Ah!" "Been lookin' for you."

"Parker." "I think." "You think." "Where's he from?" "I didn't get his resume, Ray." "Where is he now?" "How am I supposed to know?" "I don't know anything about him." "He didn't even spend the night." "It was nothing." "You know about nothing... don't you, Ray?" "You know, the whole town's gonna know you were screwing this guy." "Oh." "Ha." "They already know I'm a lousy judge of character." "You still miss me, though, don't you, baby?" "We'll be calling you in for questioning." "HE GRUNTS" "It's OK." "What's your blood type?" "HE SIGHS" "O- positive." "My car's in the parking lot right out back." "Think you can make it?" "Yeah." "Get in it." "Wait for me." "I'll be there in a few minutes." "I get a lunch break."

"Listen, there's something I need to tell you." "Not now." "We'll talk later." "You're very beautiful, you know that?" "And you're a mess." "One of these times, I'm gonna get the last word." "I doubt it." "You see?" "THUNDER CRASHES" "I thought you were gonna wait in the car." "Who'd watch your back, those two?" "They couldn't find a prayer in the Bible." "That other thing?"

"Mitch is down!" "Roy, check spaz!" "Oh, no." "Come on, Mitch." "Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned." "Get an ambulance!" "Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned." "OK, Mitch." "Forgive me, Father..." "We're gonna get you out of here, OK?" "It's all right." "Don't worry." "I'm gonna get you out of here, OK?" "Mitch." "Mitch?" "Mitch." "Mitch." "Mitch!" "Mitch!" "Get a fucking ambulance!" ""detective Parker? "" ""detective Parker! "" "Will you tell us, please, how Detective O'Grady died?" "You, er..." "You want to know how he died?" "That's why we're here." "I'm sorry... it's not in the report you've got there?" "Yes, it is, but I need to hear it from you." "Answer the doctor, John." "How did Sergeant O'Grady die, Detective?" "Very reluctantly." "John." "He died squeezing my hand." "He died... begging God for forgiveness." "What did he want to be forgiven for?" "His sins." "And what were his sins?" "Take us through the events leading up to detective O'Grady's death." "Sorry, um... take you through the events?" "John, you know this procedure." "Help us out here." "You need my help?" "I'll help you out." "Sit down, Detective!" "Fuck you." "It's in the report." "I'm not gonna sit here and pick his bones." "Aah!" "Vince." "He just walked in." "Hold on, please." "FBI on two." "This is Lieutenant Marino." "Lieutenant, this is Agent Rick Kendall in Vedalia." "I guess you heard about our situation up here." ""Yes, I have."" "You have a positive ID?" ""Yes, we do." "Er..."" "two deputies saw him clearly when he was switching cars after the robbery." "Now, you're Detective Parker's supervisor, is that right?" ""Yes, I am."" "OK, tell me about him." "Well, let me put it this way." "I'm not shocked that something like this happened." "Really?" "How so?" ""detective Parker is on voluntary stress leave" ""and under a fitness- for-duty review."" "I see." "What's the problem?" "He was involved in a drug raid six days ago." "Three suspects were killed along with Parker's partner." ""Needless to say, he took it hard." ""He walked out in the middle of"" "a critical incident debriefing and disappeared for three days." "Then he called in requesting stress leave." "We asked him to come in for a psych evaluation and he refused." ""We haven't heard from him since."" "Why do you think he would rob a bank?" "That's where they keep the money." ""I'm sorry, um..."" "this thing has thrown me." "Parker's been withdrawn, short-tempered for some time now." ""His marriage broke up recently," ""and I think he has some financial difficulties."" "Put his partner's death on top and I guess he just snapped." "Well, I appreciate your candour, Lieutenant." "We'll keep you abreast of our progress up here." "In the meantime, two of my colleagues will be coordinating the investigation there in Los Angeles with you in your internal affairs division." "I'll be happy to cooperate in any way possible." ""We appreciate that."" "Agent..." "Parker is a very smart cop." "And the last thing a cop wants is to go to prison." "I hate to say this, but I'm sure he's armed" ""and should be considered extremely dangerous."" "Thank you." "We'll keep that in mind." "Can you fucking believe this?" "Well, he seemed to be helpful." "Very." "It's refreshing." "Usually, these guys are quiet as a tomb." "Protect their own, you know?" "This your, um, first bank robbery?" "Yeah, er, but, you know, we spend weeks on this at the academy." "Weeks, huh?" "It's my first bank robbery, too." "The blind leading the blind." "There's the time - 10.02." "And that's when the guards dropped off the money." "And now, I'll just fast forward it about ten minutes..." "There..." "Now it's 10.12." "That's when we lost power." "KNOCKING" "Hello, Mrs Van Beek." "Chris." "You the agent in charge here, Kendall?" "Yes, I am." "What do you have for me?" "An electrical transformer in the alley." "I need a full rundown on composition and means of detonation." "Deputy McCullough can show you where it is." "Nice to meet you." "Fingerprints?" "Er, the perp wore surgical gloves." "Anyway, we've ID-ed him already." "Have you?" "Well, that's quick work." "The Bureau likes that." "Keep that up and you'll get an atta-boy." "Three atta-boys and you get a raise." "Shall we, Deputy?" "All right." "SHE GASPS" "Where have you been?" "What are you doing up?" "You should be in a coma." "Where have you been?" "I work for a living." "You get off at 6.00." "It's almost 8.00." "I stopped off at the bar for a drink." "You're drunk." "No, I'm not." "Who did you talk to?" "That's none of your business." "Do you mind?" "Get out." "Why haven't you turned me in?" "Yet." "I haven't turned you in yet." "I'll get around to it." "Will you?" "You can count on that." "You're a real girl scout, aren't you?" "That's me." "So, what's holding up the parade?" "Tell me." "Tell me." "My mother told me never to argue with bank robbers." "So, why didn't you call the police?" "Why did you help me?" "Tell me." "You're awful cranky when you're shot up, you know that?" "Just how sore are you, Parker?" "Mmm..." "What can I say, Jim?" "Just bad timing, that's all." "Yeah." "I'm working with the FBI agent even as we speak." "Yeah, he's a great guy." "Yeah, we were just so close to getting' him." "How he got turned around that quick in those woods, it's beyond me." "Tommy said the same thing." "No, I wouldn't call him right now." "They got him all doped up." "Well, it's gonna be a while before he's up and around, I can tell you that." "Yeah, I'll tell him." "He'll appreciate that." "All right." "Hey, bring me a pineapple." "Yeah." "The sheriff?" "Yeah." "He's pissed cos he's missing all the fun." "Which island did he go to?" "Kauai." "His first vacation in five years, wouldn't you know it?" "What?" "Nothing." "Come on." "What?" "I wonder why he left his car on the highway." "What, the Camaro?" "Yeah, why would he leave it out in the road where anybody could see it?" "He could have stashed it in the woods where he was gonna leave the Impala." "He drives in, he makes a switch, nobody sees a thing." "Yeah." "Yeah, that is odd." "Maybe he was afraid he'd get stuck, blow a tire." "And he would leave tyre prints next to the getaway car that we could trace." "That's a good point." "But that still doesn't explain Why he would park there." "He had to walk six miles back to town to steal the car." "That's a hell of a walk." "It doesn't make sense." "Maybe he just doesn't want it to make sense." "Maybe." ""21-70 calling base."" "This is base." "Go ahead, Billy." ""I'm down at St Edmonds, Ray."" ""Father Jamison came home and found" ""a light blue Chevy Impala" ""parked in the rectory garage." ""He says it's full of bullet holes." ""You better come down here."" "RAY: "Be right there."" "Wow." "Don't touch that!" "I won't." "I won't." "Oh, there's blood all over the seat." "You got him, all right." "Looks like." "Father, how long do you think it's been here?" "Well, I left here about 11.00 this morning." "I guess any time after that." "Thank you, Father." "Well, now we know why the roadblocks are all a zero, huh, boys?" "Probably snagged another car." "Nothing has been reported stolen." "Whole town knows about this." "You think we would have heard by now if a car was missing." "Maybe he's still here." "Or he's got an accomplice." "I'll go call highway patrol again." "No." "I'll do it." "You done enough already." "You go home." "No, I'm fine." "I just need some more aspirin, that's all." "No, we'll cover it." "You go get some rest." "You're not gonna be any good if you don't." "Yeah, he's right." "Get the hell out of here." "I'll drive you home." "No, no." "I'm good." "Hey, er, thanks for all your help today." "Don't mention it." "Take care of yourself." "Night." "TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS" "You washed my dishes." "What?" "You asked me why I didn't turn you in." "You washed my dishes." "That was it, huh?" "That was it." "Oh..." "Why don't you take my car?" "Drive to Reno." "You can get a plane to anywhere." "No, not yet." "You can't stay here, Parker." "FOOTSTEPS APPROACH" "Get out." "You have no right." "Where is he?" "Who?" "Don't fuck with me." "I saw what's in your garbage can." "Now, where is he?" "Where do you think?" "He's hiding under the bed." "I was just joking, Ray." "I'll be laughing all the way through your trial." "Aah!" "Is he still alive?" "It's possible." "You all right?" "Oh, God, this is a mess." "I'm screwed, aren't I?" "I'm sorry about this." "No, you're not." "I'll make it up to you." "No, you won't." "They're gonna put me in jail, aren't they?" "You didn't do anything wrong." "Aiding and abetting after the fact, whatever the hell that is." "Accessory after the fact." "They put you in jail for that." "It's gonna be all right." "That's easy for you to say." "Ah!" "Trust me." "Now you're really scaring me." "Oh, shit." "Ahh... oh, God, you're haemorrhaging." "We gotta get you to the hospital." "Oh, fuck." "SIGHING" "What a day." "Shit." "Shit." "You rookie." "PHONE RING" "Mr Morris, this is Agent Kendall." "Yeah, I'm down at the bank." "Could you come down here?" "Yeah, thanks." "I always wanted to do this." "It must have been some marriage." "You have no idea." "I'll remember to stay on your good side." "Too late." "Ow!" "Ow!" "God!" "That hurts." "Shh." "I gave you a local." "It still hurts." "Be quiet." "Somebody's going to hear us." "You remind me of my first girlfriend, Martha Jane Murray." "She used to kick me in the shins." "Well, I aim higher." "Hold that." "You can sit up." "My friend Karen works at the bank." "At the bar tonight, she was telling me that you made off with half a million dollars." "Where is it?" "Where's what?" "Where's the money?" "It's safe." "You don't trust me." "What do you think?" "I think a person could have a lot of fun with that kind of money." "I thought you were a girl scout." "Till I met you." "Now I'm an accessory after the fact." "My mother was a nurse in this hospital." "I was born down the hall." "I've spent my whole life in this town, in this hospital, except for my honeymoon and a ten-minute trip to Disneyland." "I don't want to die in this place." "So what are you saying?" "I'm tired of being cold all the time." "I'm tired of... falling asleep with the television on." "Why am I telling you this?" "It's none of your business." "I figure you owe me." "Really?" "I saved your life twice, and I think that entitles me to half the money." "Half, huh?" "California's a community property state." "It's 50-50." "We can go our separate ways." "I'm a cop." "What?" "I'm a cop." "In the pocket." "Inside pocket." "You're a cop." "Shit, Parker," "I was just starting to like you." "Well, you knew it wouldn't last, right?" "Cop and a crook." "Saves a lot of time." "You want the good news or the bad news?" "Oh, there's more bad news?" "I'm in some trouble back in LA." "Pardon me if I'm not surprised." "There's a group of friends I've got, all detectives." "All of us started out in the same division." "Over the years, we stayed very close." "A while back, we found a way we could work together, even though we were spread out across the department." "Hey, John." "What's up, Mitch?" "You got the address?" "684 Hawthorne." "Nice neighbourhood." "How rare." "What's the matter with him?" "PARKER:" "Nothing." "He seems... disgruntled." "Well, he's got a wife in menopause and a daughter in puberty." "What are you going to do?" "He hasn't been talking to anybody, has he, John?" "That would be very bad." "Get in the car." "Let's roll." "You all right?" "I'm tired." "Well, we'll take care of this and have you in bed before Leno comes on." "No, I mean I'm really tired, Johnny." "Come on, Mitch, don't start." "Doesn't this ever get to you, Johnny?" "It isn't what we signed up for." "Look, we do this, tell the guys that we want to lay low for a while, OK?" "No, it's not OK." "This guy King Charles is a nasty piece of work." "What if doesn't want to just... roll over?" "What then?" "Are we going to kill him?" "Are you prepared for that, John?" "Nobody's going to get killed." "We go in, and scare him, take his money, and that's all." "Oh, that's all?" "Listen to you." "Look at us, John, we're thieves." "You know, shaking down drug dealers is the same as taking bribes." "It's not the same as taking fucking bribes." "It is the same, John." "What do you think?" "They should keep all that money while they string out the whole neighbourhood?" "No, they should go to jail where they belong." "We took an oath." "Don't talk to me about the Fucking oath, all right?" "Not you, not me." "We swore on our honour to uphold the law..." "I know what we fucking swore on." "At first, it was a great idea." "The band of brothers." "Put a wrench in the works of the bad guys... and pad the pockets of the good guys." "It put those kids through college, buy that little cabin by the lake." "I can't do it any more, Johnny." "I can't." "They're worried about you, Mitch." "They should be." "You stay in the car." "I'll tell them you're not feeling well." "Mitch..." "Mitch and I will take the back." "Side." "Front." "I thought you were going to wait in the car." "And who'll watch your back?" "Those two?" "They couldn't find a prayer in the bible." "That other thing?" "We'll talk about it over drinks." "I'm serious, Johnny." "I know that." "We'll talk about it over drinks." "Ahh." "It was perfect." "I mean, who are they going to call?" "It was easy." "Then my partner got killed." "He has a cabin up here, so I came up to... clear my head." "What's so unclear?" "I've known these guys for 20 years." "I've put my life on the line for them... and them for me." "But they broke the law." "You all did." "And so after all that, you decide to cut and run and rob a bank?" "RATTLING" "Come on." "This door's not supposed to be locked?" "Who has the key?" "I don't know." "I'll have to call maintenance." "Uhh!" "OK, so what's the good news?" "What good news?" "Oh, yeah, the good news." "The good news is, I didn't rob the bank." "What?" "I didn't rob the bank." "When I left your place this morning, you were still sleeping." "Not another brownout." "Sally, you want to phone the power company?" "All right, move!" "Get back!" "Get back!" "Get back!" "Get on the ground, now!" "Get on the floor!" "All you tellers - you're back against the... the thing there..." "the wall!" "Everyone down on the ground, now!" "Not you!" "You got the keys?" "What?" "Take out the key!" "Move!" "Keep your fucking head down!" "Nobody moves, nobody gets hurt!" "Hurry up!" "Open it up!" "Here." "Fill it!" "I said keep your fucking head down!" "Get down!" "TYRES SCREECH" "Shit." "The alarm is dead!" "Give me the phone!" "TYRES SCREECH" "Yeah, give me the police." "We"ve been robbed." "Oh, yes!" "Put you hands on the roof of the car!" "Uhh." "Fuck." "Bank robbery is a federal offence, my foolish friend." "You're under arrest." "Put your gun down and put your hands up." "I'm a police officer making an arrest." "Drop your gun." "I'm a cop." "Just let me show you..." "Put your gun on the ground." "OK." "OK?" "Thank you." "Can I show you my shield now?" "Not necessary." "Uhh!" "Holy shit!" "Who in the hell is that?" "I don't know, I've never seen him." "He must have been in town and seen me when I hit the bank." "But you didn't see him?" "No." "Because you're a fucking idiot!" "God!" "Just great." "This is just great!" "Now we got a murder rap." ""Unit 4, this is dispatch."" "Oh, shit!" "Shit!" ""Unit 4, this is dispatch." "Where are you, Ray?"" "On 395, Connie." "What's cooking?" ""Arlen just called, the bank's been robbed." ""suspect fled in a light blue Chevy Impala" ""headed west out of town toward 395."" "We're on it." "We got to get this son of a bitch out of here and get to town as fast as we can." "ENGINE STARTS" "He's got the money!" "Ray and Tommy?" "Yep." "I figure Ray knocked out the power in the bank, and Tommy robbed it." "I can't believe that." "Well, they're probably the only cops on duty for, what, 50 miles?" "So who's going to catch them?" "The sheriff's on vacation." "Perfect." "Tommy knocks over the bank, drives out of town, they dump the car," "Ray picks him up, they drive back to town, they show up at the bank to investigate the crime with the cash in the trunk." "Ray thought of that?" "Apparently." "He never showed that kind of initiative when we were married." "Maybe he's a late bloomer." "Working late at the bank." "Why don't you just go on in and tell them the truth?" "Right now, my credibility's not so good." "Can't disagree with you there." "Let's go to Ray's place." "Everything under control, Rick?" "Yes, sir." "Er, Agents Stern and Harris, this is..." "Vincent Marino, Los Angeles Metro Police." "We talked on the phone." "Nice to meet you, Lieutenant." "The chief wanted me to come up and see what was happening here." "He thought I could be of some help." "I've known Parker a long time." "Well, you're certainly welcome." "Thank you." "Any breakthrough's since we talked?" "I was just briefing Lieutenant Marino." "There have been some, er..." "Interesting developments." "Why don't you have a seat?" "All right." "This is from the surveillance Camera at the bank's ATM." "Notice the time - 10.12." "That's our suspect." "Detective Parker." "And that's when the power went out." "Why would a guy about to rob a bank go to the ATM, get photographed... leave his card in it?" "Maybe he wanted to get caught." "Or maybe he didn't rob the bank." "I interviewed the bank employees." "They said that it was less than ten Seconds after the lights went out that the robber, wearing a clown mask and a jumpsuit, ran through the front door." "OK." "Here we go." "The power is out." "That gives Parker ten seconds to put on a jumpsuit, a mask, pick up a shotgun, run around the side of the bank to the front door..." "Time's up." "People's sense of elapsed time is often unreliable in crisis situations." "That's true, but forget ten seconds." "I don't think Parker could have done it in much less than a minute." "I tried." "My best time was 54 seconds, and I was smokin"." "Shit." "No, Detective Parker couldn't have robbed the bank." "It's physically impossible." "And as Sherlock Holmes once said," ""Once you eliminate the impossible," ""whatever remains, no matter how improbable," ""is the truth."" "We have a pair of eyewitnesses that we need to re-interrogate." "Nice work, Rick." "Not bad, kid." "GLASS SHATTERS" "Keeps a nice house." "He never washed my dishes." "Aren't you supposed to have a search warrant or something?" "That's only on TV." "Let's see what web sites Ray's been visiting." "Oh, same ones I go to." "Look at these." ""take Wings Tickets, Fly By Night," ""Vacation, Vacation, Vacation, Inc."" "Guess Ray's been planning a little trip." "Here we go." ""sierra Nevada Power Corporation."" "There's the square, and there's the bank." "NATALIE:" "What's that?" "A sawed-off shotgun was used in the robbery." "Now we can go to the FBI." "Thank God." "Aah!" "Well, isn't this a nice little family reunion?" "That's my gun, asshole... and my shirt." "Ex-gun, ex-shirt." "Put it down." "The gun or the shirt?" "Don't waste my time." "Put it down." "The last time I did that, you shot me, Ray." "Yes, I did." "You're not gonna shoot me this time, are you?" "Remember, I know where the money is." "That is correct... and you're gonna give it to me." "Now, you put that down, or I'll shoot her." "You don't want to do that, Ray." "After she screwed you?" "You just try me." "Now, back up." "All right, where's the money?" "Open the back door for me." "You drive, sweetheart." "He didn't rob the bank." "What?" "I thought they had an eyewitness." "It's all fucked up." "Parker is clean." "So, what are we gonna do?" "What do you think?" "Whoa, whoa." "What are we talking about here?" "The feds are gonna be all over him." "You want to go to jail?" "Because if he talks, you will go to jail." "Keys." "All right, where is it?" "You know, Ray, there's a long list of things I don't like about you, but I never figured you for a thief." "Shut up." "Where is it?" "How can you do this?" "You grew up in this town." "That's right, I did." "Now I'm watchin' it rot." "Damn casino is ruining the whole county." "Lowlife gamblers driftin' in and out of town." "You know we got a drug problem in the high school now?" "Don't tell me you haven't seen it change." "Honest people bled dry of their life savings by a bunch of greedy Indians." "You're a racist." "That's worse than a thief." "You like being a cop, don't you, Ray?" "Yeah." "I did." "Now where's the money?" "There's a real sense of satisfaction in upholding the law, protecting the public good." "The profession attracts Guys like us." "Guys who enjoy having Power over people." "If you want to be a nice guy, you're a nice guy." "If you want to be a son of a bitch... you're a son of a bitch." "Yeah." "Can you guess how I'm feelin" right now?" "The problem with having that power is we grow to be paranoid." "Paranoia breeds contempt." "Tell you what, you give me the fuckin" money right now, or I shoot off her pretty little nose." "Hmm?" "You're standing on it." "What?" "The money's under the floor." "You're standing on it." "Get over here." "It's right under..." "Get over here and open it." "Go over there where I can see you." "Move." "THUNDER CRASHES" "Get it out." "Set it on the floor." "Come up from there with anything in your hand besides a bag of money, and I'll put one in your melon." "Aah!" "GUNSHOT" "Those were gunshots." "Let's move." "I said move." "You're a sneaky bastard, Parker." "Saves a lot of time." "We need an ambulance and the FBI." "Oh, my foot!" "My toe!" "You're under arrest, Ray." "You have the right to lie there and moan until we haul your ass to jail." "I asked Mrs Van Beek to get over here with her gear." "If it's all right with you, we'll treat this as a crime scene." "You don't need my permission." "Yes, I do." "First agent on the scene is the agent in charge." "Bureau policy." "Great, then could you get me some coffee?" "Don't push it." "I just got a call on the radio." "They're up at the lake." "RAY GROANS" "You shot my fucking toe off!" "We can call you Stumpy." "You bitch..." "He's in there, but he has company." "A woman and a wounded deputy." "But he's the only one armed." "Shit!" "Roger that." "We go in on my signal." "MARINO: "three, two, one."" "Find him!" "GUN CLICKS Shit!" "Aah!" "Uhh..." "HE GROANS" "I'm shot." "Shit." "All right..." "when I turn back, run through the woods, and go to the road." "OK." "Ready?" "Ready." "OK, go." "GUN CLICKS" "Get the girl!" "GUNSHOT" "Aah!" "GUNSHOT" "You all right?" "Yeah." "Last man standing wins." "Unh!" "Do you know where our money is?" "Yeah." "Yeah, I will." "I gotta go, Mom." "I love you, too." "Detective Parker," "Agent Rick Kendall, FBI." "I have a lot of Questions for you." "This your first bank robbery?" "My first actual one, yes." "You realise that you, and your participation in these events, present us with a timely opportunity?" "The justice department has a special task force set up to investigate corruption and civil rights violations by the Los Angeles metro police department." "There's a grand jury already in place." "Would you be willing to... talk to them?" "Yeah." "Thank you." "OK." "Oh, there's just one more thing." "Where's the money?" "The money." "KNOCK ON DOOR" "Good morning, boys." "I must say, it was a thrill to find this in the poor box, if only for a moment." "Come on." "Move it along." "Do you think they know we're cops?" "Wicked." "CAMERA CLICKS" "So, John, what are you gonna do with the rest of your life?" "I got a lot of plans." "Eat some oysters..." "Mmm." "Massage your feet." "Mm-hmm." "I've been thinking about climbing that tree over there and picking you those coconuts." "When I met you at the bar," "I had this feeling." "Oh, yeah?" "Where?" "Here." "Do you believe in love at first sight?" "Yes, I do." "Saves a lot of time."
