Crime Spree Page #13

ZERO:

Oh, you think it's that easy?

RAYMOND:

Yeah. We just go home.

DANIEL:

We can't.

RAYMOND:

I agree with Marcel. I say we go to the

airport and get on a plane.

SAMI:

They'll be waiting for us at the airport.

DANIEL:

You steal some money from a man he gets

over it in time. But these tapes. He's

never going to stop looking for us.

SAMI:

We have to find Sophie.

RAYMOND:

How are we going to do that?

WAYNE:

I know where she went.

They all look over at him as he takes a huge hit off his joint.

WAYNE:

I heard her talking on the phone. Bay

View Motel. It's about five blocks from

here.

EXT. STREET -- MORNING

A beat up Ford Pinto sputters down the street, black smoke spewing

from the tail pipe.

INT. PINTO -- MOVING -- MORNING

Raphael is at the wheel, his eyes scanning the street for his car.

In the passenger seat Hector sits calmly. They come to a red light

and stop.

RAPHAEL'S POV -- Across the street is low rider car.

Raphael stares at it as he thinks about his own car.

ON HECTOR. We see the Impala pull up beside them. Raymond is

driving. Daniel, Sami and Zero are with him.

Hector glances over and sees the Impala. Raymond smiles at him

and nods. Hector slowly nods back. He looks over at Raphael who

is still looking out the window.

The light turns green. The Impala turns right. Raphael looks

over at a confused Hector.

RAPHAEL:

Tell me the truth Hector... do you think

we'll find my car?

HECTOR:

Hard to say.

EXT. BAY VIEW MOTEL -- MORNING

A motel like any other. Sami stands outside the office with Daniel,

Raymond and Zero.

RAYMOND:

How do we know what room she's in?

SAMI:

Wait here.

INT. OFFICE -- BAY VIEW MOTEL -- MORNING

Sami enters. Behind the counter is the MOTEL CLERK, middle-aged,

balding.

SAMI:

Hi. Did a woman just check in? She's

about five six. Pretty. Dark hair.

MOTEL CLERK:

I can't give out information on our

guests.

SAMI:

C'mon man, I think she's having an affair.

MOTEL CLERK:

So are half the people in this place. I

can't help you, pal.

Sami nods and walks outside. Through the window we see him talking

with the others. A beat. Sami steps back inside with Zero.

MOTEL CLERK:

Look, I can't tell you --

Before he can finish the sentence Zero has his gun out and wedged

under the clerks jaw.

MOTEL CLERK:

Room fourteen.

ZERO:

Thank you.

EXT. MOTEL ROOM -- MORNING

Sami knocks. The others stand off to the side of the door. Sophie

opens the door and sees Sami. Before she can slam it he pushes it

open.

INT. MOTEL ROOM -- MORNING

Sami pushes her onto the bed.

SAMI:

I really thought we had something special

going. I can't tell you what a

disappointment you've turned out to be.

SOPHIE:

After last night I could say the same

for you.

Sami feigns a smile. Zero checks the bathroom to make sure she is

alone. He looks at Daniel and shake his head. Raymond finds the

black canvas bag on the dresser and checks the contents.

RAYMOND:

The money isn't here.

SAMI:

Where is it, Sophie?

SOPHIE:

I don't know.

DANIEL:

If you think because you're a women this

can't go hard on you, think again.

She stares at them defiantly.

SAMI:

Who are you waiting for?

SOPHIE:

Stick around and find out.

INT. MOTEL ROOM -- LATER -- MORNING

A knock on the door. Sami clamps his hand over Sophie's mouth

just in case she gets any stupid ideas. Daniel opens the door.

Agent Hadley steps in, stares at Daniel, then feels the barrel of

Zero's gun pressed against his head.

Hadley steps into the room. Daniel closes the door. Zero searches

him. Finds a gun which he gives to Daniel, then a wallet. He

opens it and sees his FBI identification.

ZERO:

He's FBI.

Zero knowingly bends down and removes Hadley's backup gun which is

strapped to his ankle. He gives the gun to Sami.

RAYMOND:

What is she doing with an agent du FBI?

Sami looks at her -- at Hadley -- at the black canvas bag. Slowly

it starts to come together in his mind.

SAMI:

We've been set up.

He stares at Sophie angrily.

SAMI:

We didn't go to the wrong house. We

went to right one, didn't we Sophie?

Her expression gives away nothing.

SAMI:

They send us to Zammito's house. The

FBI is right across the street watching

the whole thing, but they don't move. A

crime is going down and they don't move.

Why?

(beat)

Because they were waiting for us to come

out so they could arrest us.

ZERO:

What does arresting us get them?

SAMI:

(to Hadley)

You wanna tell him?

AGENT HADLEY:

You're telling it fine.

Daniel motions to Zero.

DANIEL:

You see my friend over there? I nod to

him and he's going to put a bullet in

your knee.

Zero stares at Hadley, just waiting for Daniel to give him the go

ahead.

AGENT HADLEY:

You wouldn't.

Daniel nods. Zero aims his gun at Hadley's knee cap.

AGENT HADLEY:

That's going to make a lot of noise.

Not much time for a conversation after

you pull the trigger.
