Band of Robbers Page #6

Synopsis: A comedic adventure that re-imagines Mark Twain's iconic literary characters of Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer as grown men in current day. Petty criminal Huck Finn hopes to leave his criminal life behind when he is released from a stint in prison, but his lifelong friend, and corrupt cop, Tom Sawyer, has other plans. Not ready to give up on his childhood fantasies of wealth and adventure, Tom forms the "Band of Robbers," recruiting their misfit friends Joe Harper and Ben Rogers, to join them for an elaborate plan to find a fabled treasure. But the plan soon unravels, thrusting the guys on a wild journey with dangerous consequences...

Peaceful.

Peaceful.

- This isn't right.

- It's where the map says to go.

All right. Let's, uh... Let's check it out.

What are we doing, George?

There's nothing here. There's no cave.

I don't know.

Okay. Why don't we, uh,

uncuff the Mexican.

Huh? Okay.

Huck, we gotta be fast, okay? I'll keep her

out of the way. I might get her a room.

What's going to happen here?

Well, me and my associate,

we have a, uh, meeting

with the cartel.

This place is hot

with cartel like crazy.

So we're gonna keep you

out of the way.

We should get you in a room where you

can lay low. Anything I can do to help?

You could lay low.

That would be great.

You can do us proud.

Just go lay low.

Okay. Okay.

It'll be good.

Hi.

My, uh...

My wife, Roxanne, and I

would like a hotel room

for, um... for, uh,

20 minutes.

- We can do that.

- Great. Thank you.

I'll let you sign.

Okay.

I'm gonna give you

the corner room.

The owner used to live there.

Oh.

He's dead.

The bed is small, but there's a bathtub.

There. Oh, wow.

That's...

old-fashioned.

Sure.

There's gotta be a cave.

There's a cave on the map.

Cave on the map.

Think, Huck. Think, Huck.

Uh...

Okay?

We're gonna get you home.

Right after we find this cave.

What? Qu?

God.

Jorge, I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have...

Stupid.

I shouldn't have...

Yeah.

I'm gonna get Tom.

Be right back.

So, what are we

supposed to do now?

Um, I might have to, uh,

just pop out,

have a quick word with Agent

Jackson about the mission.

Some first day, huh?

First date?

Did you say "first date"?

First... First date?

Yeah.

No.

No, I said "first day."

First...

First date!

First date!

Yeah, right.

Oh, my God.

Quite... Quite a first day

as partners.

Oh.

I mean...

Yeah, I wish this was

just a date.

I don't know why

they placed me with you.

I mean, uh, because of all the intense

detective stuff they have me doing.

- I'm glad we're together.

- Yeah.

I'm glad they put us together.

It's just the timing is crazy.

It's...

It's crazy, the timing.

Can I make a confession?

Yeah.

I asked to be placed with you.

- What?

- Yeah.

You just...

You just seem different.

I don't know. It just seems like

you want to do something big.

Like more than

the status quo, I guess.

Yeah.

I mean, that's, uh...

That's classic me. I just feel like

that's the kind of guts it takes.

You gotta...

You gotta go for stuff in life.

You know?

"First date."

What part of this...

I was like, what?

I'm over here wondering if you do have

a boyfriend. Have you been engaged?

No, I do not have a boyfriend.

Just a new partner.

What... Becky.

What is this?

The room key.

This is the room key?

Uh-huh.

I didn't... This is the room key?

Yes.

This is what the room key looks like.

That's what it looks like.

This is what the room key looks like.

Yes.

Can you wait here?

Just wait here.

Tom!

Tom!

Huck, this is what

the room keys look like.

Look at this.

Cavern's not a cave.

Cavern's a hotel.

This place used to be the Cavern Hotel.

This is the cavern.

We're in the cavern. Yeah.

The treasure is here.

Yeah.

The treasure is here.

Let's go find it.

You go upstairs, okay?

You try the doors.

I'll do the doors downstairs.

All right.

Let's go.

Okay.

Okay.

Hey, uh, we had a break

in the case,

and I just gotta see

if there... if there, uh...

if they're gonna put the bugs

and the drugs...

The cartel might have

ended up showing up.

Okay. Do you need help?

No. No, no, no.

I can do that.

Yeah. You just wait here,

and I'll be right back. Okay, partner?

It's in our room.

- You think I'm some kind of idiot?

- Oh! Oh, God!

What are you doing? Ow!

You want to do good?

You want to be a hero?

Ah. Becky, don't...

What am I doing?

Look at me.

Oh, my God.

Oh, God!

Okay.

Okay, I'm sorry. It's a secret mission.

I wanted to tell you.

Uh...

Listen, don't call the police.

Don't call the police.

I'm the cops. I'm the police.

Oh, witches' tits! Witches' tits!

Yes, hello.

This is Officer Becky Thatcher.

I have an emergency. I'm

in a hotel off Old Main.

- Something's wrong.

- Will you be quiet, please?

We gotta... We gotta

turn out the lights.

Tom!

- Everything you say is a lie.

- Becky.

- Tom.

- Uncuff me.

Uncuff me, Becky.

We're in trouble.

Becky.

Becky. Becky.

I'm gonna get us out of here, okay?

Just throw me the keys, and I'll get

us out of here. Becky, stay with me.

Jorge? Jorge!

You gotta go.

Huh?

Okay, Becky.

Hang on.

Okay. Hey. Hey.

I'm gonna die.

No, no. You're not gonna die.

I'm gonna die.

Hold on. Wait here. I'm gonna be

right back. I'm gonna be right back.

Joe, we gotta get movin'.

Cops are comin'.

Gonna move out the window.

You can do this. You're doing great.

Hey, Muff!

Stealing a police car is a federal... Sh*t.

Sorry, Tom.

Sorry.

It's okay.

You're gonna be okay, all right?

Police are comin'.

I'm sorry.

Stay. I'm scared.

Here! Here!

Meow.

Meow.

Tom!

You okay? Good.

Help me with this.

Come on.

- You got it?

- Yeah.

Let's go.

We got company.

Floor it. Floor it!

Let's go. Let's go!

Let's go.

He's coming.

He's coming.

Go. Go, go, go.

How 'bout here?

Get it.

Sh*t. Go!

Exit! Where's the exit?

Here, here, here!

Let's go.

Harper!

- We gotta...

- It's Harper.

What?

It's Harper.

We gotta go! Let's go!

Go, go, go, go!

Go! F***!

- Is he all right?

- I think he's dead, Tom.

No, no, no, no!

Not... Not now! Come on!

Sh*t!

Start it. Start it, Tom!

Sh*t.

Oh, no. No!

Get back.

Please, please!

Pow.

Oh!

He's alive!

He's alive!

He's alive!

He's alive!

Needs a key.

It's gold.

Gotta be millions.

We can count it later.

Harper, you got your cell phone?

We should see if people are saying

anything about us, make sure Becky's okay.

Oh, there's something here about

the hotel shooting. Ah, let's see.

"In an absolutely shocking case...

" So on and so forth.

Okay, here's Becky.

"Officer Becky Thatcher

was wounded in the shooting,

but is in stable

condition."

Does it say about me saving her?

Here we go.

"Details are unclear at this time,

but Officer Thatcher implicated

fellow police officer Tom Sawyer

as being involved in a robbery

earlier in the morning.

Officer Sawyer and his cohort,

a career criminal,

Huckleberry Finn,

are believed dead

after being pursued by police

called to the scene."

Wait a minute.

Did you say "dead"?

Yeah, you guys are dead, man. Says you drowned

after driving your squad car into the river.

My car.

Muff and that

Frankenstein guy stole it.

Sh*t. They must have drove it

right off that bridge.

Is there anywhere in there where

it covers me carrying her?

I carried her.

Kind of goes more into, like,

an opinion-oriented slant as it goes on.

Like how people sworn

to protect and serve

being on the other side

of the law

are the lowest kind

of people in the world,

and corruption...

Honestly, I...

It's not even factual.

This guy...

Just one guy's opinion.

It says here, "The only man
