Cops and Robbers Page #4

---

Yes, Miss Wells?

l got 2 cops here.

Say there's stuff being

thrown out the window.

He'll be right out.

We'll go back

and meet him.

l'm sorry.

l can't let you do that.

You can't get back there

without an escort.

You can't let us in?

l'm sorry, officer,

but that's my instructions.

Not much doin' here

today, huh?

Nah, not with

that parade down there.

They might as well

close up shop.

Good day for a robbery.

They'd never get

through those doors.

And if they did...

they'd never get

back out again.

He's coming now.

Mr. Eastpoole's

the senior partner here.

He'll take care of you.

Yes, officers.

What can l do for you?

You Eastpoole?

l'm Mr. Eastpoole, yes.

What can l do for you?

We had a complaint

about objects...

ejected from your windows,

Mr. Eastpoole.

From these offices?

That's the report we got,

Mr. Eastpoole.

Have to check out

the northeast corner.

Where's the other guard,

Jack?

He, uh, went

to the men's room, sir.

You mean he's leaning out

the window...

watching the parade.

Uh, he'll be right back,

Mr. Eastpoole.

We pay for 2 men

at this counter...

Look, Mr. Eastpoole...

l think we better

check things out.

You know, quickly, before

some innocent bystander...

gets his head

cracked open down there.

You know what l mean,

Mr. Eastpoole?

All right.

Come along.

Hello.

This is Jack out front.

Right. ls Harry there?

Right. Will you tell him

to haul his ass out here?

Eastpoole was just out.

Hold it.

ls there a camera here?

Can that guard

check this area?

No, there's no need,

and there are no windows.

-What you want--

-We know what we want.

Let's go to your office.

Why?

We don't have to show you

our guns, do we?

-What is this?

-lt's a robbery.

What do you

think it is?

Mr. Hutchinson called.

Miss Wells,

these people are here--

lt's all right, miss.

There's nothing

to worry about.

What's the matter?

They're not really

police.

We're desperate

criminals, ma'am.

We're engaged

in a major robbery.

There's no way you can

get away with this.

Any of those guards

start getting excited...

while we're here...

and you're all through,

Mr. Eastpoole.

You don't have to

threaten me.

l'll cooperate.

The authorities will

pick you people up later.

Now, that's the way

to think, Mr. Eastpoole.

l don't know what you expect

to accomplish anyway.

We deal in securities here.

We don't have cash.

We're not looking for cash,

Mr. Eastpoole.

We want bearer bonds.

-Bearer bonds?

-$10 million worth.

What denomination?

Nothing over $100,000,

nothing under 20.

All right, look.

You and l are

gonna wait here...

while my partner

and your lady friend...

take a little walk

to the vault.

You understand,

Mr. Eastpoole?

l can't.

Yes, you can.

You're gonna

do just fine.

lt's all right,

Miss Wells.

We don't want

any violence.

You do just

as they say...

and nobody will get hurt.

Now, you go to

the Morrison fund drawer...

and you'll find

just what they want.

Bearer bonds.

Nothing over 100,000.

They'll want 10 million.

You may have to make up

the difference...

from the Ely Kay

Corporation.

You know which drawer

that is.

Yes, sir.

Now just be calm,

do just what l say...

and everything

will be all right.

We don't want any violence,

Miss Wells.

Of course not.

Sit down.

l don't want a whole lot

of shooting.

Neither do l.

We walk

right to the vault.

l understand.

All we want

is the money...

and none

of it's yours.

-Right?

-Exactly.

There are TV cameras

in there, right?

l'm gonna wait

for you right here.

Now remember, when you

get in to that vault...

my partner can watch you

on the monitor.

l'll do just

as you wish.

OK. Go.

-Hello, Miss Wells.

-Hello, Girard.

Lots of excitement

out there today.

Yes, so it seems.

Astronauts go by yet?

No, not yet.

lt's a long parade.

Yes, isn't it?

Attagirl.

Come on, come on.

What the--

wait a minute.

What the hell

is going on?!

-Who are they?

-l don't know.

What the hell is that?!

l swear l don't know!

Who called them?!

Answer it!

You gotta be careful,

or l'll blow your brains out.

Pick it up!

What?!

What do they--

one moment, one moment.

They want to search

the offices.

What for?

a messenger in the elevator.

Oh, my Christ.

l gotta tell them

something.

You're calling the shots.

All right, tell them

to go ahead and search...

but not in here.

Very well,

go ahead and search...

but not in this office.

They can be sure

there's no one here.

All right,

get me the vault.

l wanna talk

to that girl.

Hurry up, hurry up!

Come on.

lt's ringing.

Come on, come on!

Hello, Miss Wells.

What route

are they taking back?

l'm trying to think!

Anything goes wrong,

l swear to God...

you're the first one dead.

lt's ringing.

Hello?

ls Miss Wells there?

No, sir, Mr. Eastpoole.

She hasn't been

through yet.

Yes. Bye.

You son of a b*tch,

you signaled!

But l didn't!

You're a dead man.

OK, OK.

What happened, damn it?

l tried to call you.

There's cops

all over the place.

What the hell's

going on?

There was a robbery

in the elevator.

A messenger was killed.

Killed?

Sh*t!

-What's in there?

-A john.

Lock them up.

We're getting out of here.

Come on.

Get in here.

Move, move!

l'll do that.

lt's all right, Janet.

lt'll all be over soon.

You won't be here

too long.

l'll leave the light on.

OK, Mr. Eastpoole?

What the hell

are you doing?!

Getting us out of here.

What are you, crazy?

Listen to me.

There's been a killing.

They're gonna search

everybody, even us.

Joe, l know

what l'm doing.

lf there's no evidence,

there's no crime.

What the hell

are you talking about?

l'm talking about

tomorrow's newspaper.

When O'Neill sees that, he'll

see we got the whole thing.

Joe, Joe,

we're stealing a headline.

All he has to do is think

we got the bonds.

Now will you help me

throw this out...

so we can get

out of here?

You bet your life.

We're stealing

a headline!

Beautiful!

We're getting it all, Joe.

We're gonna pull it off,

no matter what happens.

Whoo hoo!

Hurry, hurry!

l'm hurrying!

What do you want from me?

Come on.

Get everything!

Jesus Christ!

Get these!

Get these!

Wait a minute--here

come the men in blue.

Hey, schmucks...

what are you doing

with your lives?

Hurry up!

Whoo!

Come on, come on.

Get it all!

Look at this!

Beautiful!

Whoo hoo!

Here come the astronauts!

They're smiling.

That's the last of them.

Beautiful! Let's get

the hell out of here!

There's some over here.

Get every last piece.

l will, l will.

Now get the window.

Come on,

let's get out of here.

Let's get out of here.

We gotta get an escort

to get out of here.

So, we'll get an escort.

-Miss.

-Yes?

Could you show us

where the elevators are?

Sure. You go

right over here--

l'd sure appreciate it

if you'd show us.

Uh, OK.

Come on.

Those other cops

are coming out.

l wonder if they

found anything.

Sure. Why not?

Find anything?
