Band of Robbers Page #7

in custody at this time

is a Mexican immigrant

named George..."

- Geez.

- Jorge. It's Jorge.

Jorge. Apparently,

he's to blame for a good bit of it too.

Lowest...

Lowest kind of...

Are you insane?

We got the treasure,

didn't we? Hmm?

Doesn't mention that.

That's the news.

That's the headline.

Yeah. Yeah.

So they think we're dead.

Okay. Okay.

Blessing in disguise.

We are dead.

The old Tom Sawyer,

Huck Finn and Joe Harper are gone.

This is our funeral.

And a new beginning.

You're dead, Joe.

You're the pastor at your funeral.

Eulogize yourself. Depict your legacy.

You know, Tom, honestly,

before you got

the gang together,

I was all just, you know, being a hermit

and dying alone in this unfeeling world.

But then you gave me

the opportunity to try pirate,

and I can't really see myself

doing anything else.

So, I guess I'd just say,

"Here lies Joe Harper,

in heaven, with God.

Great job."

Good.

Good.

I'll go.

Well, Tom Sawyer's dead, is he?

Yes.

Here he lies in heaven

with Jesus,

misunderstood

in all of his glory.

Someday people will look back

and they'll say,

"Wait a second.

He was the best.

He got the treasure.

He loved Becky.

He was a hero.

He just didn't get

a chance to prove it."

The end.

Hero?

Heroes are good guys.

You're not a hero.

I'm not a hero. You're not a hero.

We're not heroes.

We lie, we cheat, we steal,

we hurt people.

That's not what heroes do.

People got killed, Tom.

Your partner almost got killed.

Not to mention Jorge.

That guy, he's probably never

gonna see his family again.

You know whose fault that is?

It's ours.

We took an innocent man,

and we used him up.

- I don't have to listen to this sh*t.

- Don't walk away. Hey!

Don't walk away.

Huck!

You're right.

You're right.

You're right about me.

I care about you, Huck.

Since we were little,

I wanted our lives to be magic.

I'm trying to

make our lives magic,

and I just get caught up and I

get caught up and I get stuck.

And I'm sorry, and I'm...

I'm sorry.

Tom, I need you to know

that I do appreciate

everything that you've

done for me.

When we were kids,

with my dad... I appreciate it.

But I think me and you...

I think we gotta be done.

I think we gotta go

our separate ways.

What will you do?

Well, first I gotta figure out

what to do about Jorge.

Can't just leave him.

Let me help you.

I'll help you do something good,

and then you don't have to see me again.

You don't have to

ever see me again.

Okay.

Goddamn it.

We're going to have to get

the whole band back together.

Best Auto.

Tom's getting the band back together.

I'm not in the band.

He needs us.

This is a rescue mission.

Operation Mexican Sunrise.

Aaah!

Hi.

I'm Detective Sid Sawyer.

I just have a couple of

questions about Jorge Jiminez.

Best Auto.

It's for you.

Yeah.

This is it.

It's happening now, okay?

You have to get to County Road 414

by the oil field in half an hour.

That's impossible.

I'm following your lead, Huck.

That's the story...

You got a car?

- Yep.

- I'll be there.

You think you'll be able

to get 'em to give him to you?

I'm Sid Sawyer.

I've got the keys to the goddamn city.

Excuse me there.

What are you looking for? My badge.

I thought that maybe I left it...

Sid, what's going on?

Station 12 just called.

Said you were there

asking about Jorge Jiminez.

More, more. Close.

More.

Perfect.

Here we go.

They're coming, they're coming,

they're coming, they're coming.

These short shorts cut off the

circulation to your brain, you idiot!

Hey, lady.

Can't you drive a car?

Did you get your driver's

license in China?

Sh*t.

They're going around.

Hit me.

What?

Hit me.

Harper, hit me!

Ow! Aaah!

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

You kidding me? Hey!

Step away from the woman.

All right. I called the accident.

The police are on their way.

You don't friggin' move,

a**hole.

Not one friggin' step.

Hi. Don't be nervous.

I'm, uh... I'm Sid Sawyer.

Listen, I need to take your prisoner.

There's a change in plan.

The mayor's furious.

Everybody's upset.

But I need him in court

in 15 minutes.

You don't know who I am?

No.

I'm Sid Sawyer.

I have to take him.

Suspect impersonating Detective Sid Sawyer.

Suspect last seen at Station 12

wearing tweed blazer

with blue button-up and tie.

Hey! Hey!

Hands on your head.

Back away from the car. Let's go.

- Uncuff him.

- On your knees. Let's go. On your knees.

- Just relax. We're having fun.

- Hola, Jorge.

Been worried about you.

Okay. We got you.

Cuff yourself.

Come on, Jorge.

We're getting out of here. Let's go.

All right. You're doing a great job.

Come on. Go.

Good job.

I think we're okay.

I don't see anybody.

Let's go! All right.

Let's go, let's go!

Hey, guys, somebody

was following us.

We were being followed.

We were followed.

Be careful. Be careful.

Goddamn it.

All right!

We know you're in there.

So come out with your hands up,

and nobody gets hurt.

All right, listen.

This is your only shot.

I need you to come out

with the prisoner,

with your hands above your head,

and no one's gonna hurt you!

Tom, please.

No.

Barnes, you don't know

about any of this, okay?

All right?

We just stormed in here.

- What are you thinking, Tom?

- I'm going out there.

You guys wait for me.

I'm gonna pull 'em around to the front.

- You guys slip out the back.

- What are you talking about?

They think there's four of us.

I'll give them four of us.

Element of surprise.

Element of surprise.

Harper, grab those mop heads. We're gonna make

some hairdos. Be creative. Go for it, okay?

Tom. We should all go together.

What are you doing?

It's not gonna work, man. Gotta have some

distraction. You should know that by now.

Let me do it.

I got this one.

It's pretty goddamn heroic, Tom.

Come on.

What are we waiting for?

You got any clothes

or rags that look like clothes?

We have jackets.

That's a type of clothes.

Ben, grab the jackets

underneath the lift over there.

Hey, Ben?

- Give this to Becky Thatcher.

- Nobody needs to get hurt today.

All right. You hear me?

I know you stole my badge.

I forgive you.

Just come out, and we'll talk about this.

Meow.

Meow.

Hey, Huck.

- Don't get caught this time.

- Yeah.

Let's go. Let's go.

Tom, everybody else is coming.

At that point, there's nothing I can do.

- Go, go.

- Goddamn it, Tom!

- Oh, cease fire! Goddamn it, cease fire!

- Go. Go.

Do not move!

I said stand down and cease fire.

On the ground!

On the ground!

I said get on the ground!

There you go!

Tom.

Ambulance!

I need an ambulance! Now!

Tom took the fall to get us out of there,

and we did get out.

Nobody ever knew the others

were involved with any of it,

so they went home with a bit more

money than they started with.

I know Cleo

Jorge and I took a long trip.

I can't say it was all easy,

or without adventure...

She's mine

But that's another story

for another day.

And I love her
