Bandits Page #11

Oh, God!

It's gonna blow!

You've gotta run! It's gonna blow!

The vehicle transporting the bodies of

the "Sleep-Over Bandits", has exploded.

Apparently, the bodies were wired

with explosive.

The bodies were totally incinerated with

no trace of Joe Black and Terry Collins.

Toast to Paradise.

To us!

You'd better wait for me!

...and the million-dollar reward!

So ends the tragic tale of the

"Sleep-Over Bandits".

Or it doesn't.

Joe Blake and Terry Collins captured

the imagination of a nation.

And in death their lives are quickly

becoming the stuff of legends.

Blake and Collins weren't heroes.

They never claimed to be.

After the interview,

people came up to me and said:

"What were they really like?"

I know as much as anybody else:

They robbed banks...

They certainly kidnapped the wrong woman,

they shot each other to death in cold blood.

The rest is rumors and

speculations.

Stuff of folk tales.

And in the end...

...maybe that's the way we really

want it to be.

I'm Darren Head.

We'll see you next week on another

edition of "Criminals at Large".

...fade to black.

That should do.

...who are now united together in holy

matrimony.

...and have witnessed the same before

God and this company.

...and have pledged their love to

each other.

...and have declared the same by the

joining and the giving of the rings.

The groom may now kiss the bride.

Hi, gentlemen.

So, why don't we start from the

beginning, all right?

How... how did you guys meet?

Well, you know, lifting weights, pumping the

iron, you know the usual way, trading cigarettes...

Terry had an imaginary appendicitis...

...and then he had an imaginary

blood poisoning.

I was working in the infirmary.

The medical term is septicemia,

and it wasn't...

Anyway, one night in the infirmary,

I'm hearing this howling sound...

Darren.

You know, like a...

...like the noise the cat makes when

the cat's in heat.

That sound, you know.

One thing we always like to

remind ourselves...

...before going into any job

was "expect the unexpected".

Right?

Always sounds like good advice.

Except, of course, if you are

expecting the unexpected, and...

...well then it really isn't unexpected

anymore, is it?

And that leaves you vulnerable to the

truly unexpected.

Because you're not expecting it.

Everybody saw the videotape.

It's kind of famous by now.

...with Kate Wheeler, the bank

robbery...

Why don't you, right here on this show, set the

records straight about Kate Wheeler and your operation.

The girl was terrified, you know...

...with us, I think...

...both as men, and as bank robbers.

And didn't like us.

Never liked us...

...we never got along...

...from the very first moment we met.

Don't you guys

ever get really scared?

I mean, this job is so dangerous...

I'm immune to danger.

I dance with danger.

I walk up to danger

and tug it on the ears...

...and sneer at it,

make funny faces at it.

"You know what? Come on! "

That's what I'm saying.

You know how you have to be like?

You have to have nerves of steel and

I have a nervous system which...

I mean, as a child, God knows,

I was a nervous kid.

But, you know,

you get in there...

There's something about the adrenaline,

and... What are you laughing at?

You're immune.

I'm immune to danger.
