Den of Thieves Page #6

---

Everybody behind the counter,

come out front! Let's go!

Keep your eyes down

and your mouths shut.

On my command,

reach inside your pockets,

remove your cell phones,

and put your hands in the air.

Everybody take

two steps forward.

Now go down on your knees.

All right! Cell phones

right in here.

On me.

BOSCO:
Let's go.

Put them in the box.

MERRIMEN:
Tie them up.

BOSCO:
Go! Go! Go!

There will be no heroics today.

You guys go ahead

and get comfortable.

We're going to

be here for a while.

Anybody need to

use the bathroom?

Take a piss on yourself.

(INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER)

Hey.

You. Get up.

Stop.

Sit down.

All right, I need you

to calm down right now.

Hey! Look at me.

Take a deep breath.

(EXHALES)

Good.

I know you already triggered

the silent alarms.

So I need you

to pick up the phone,

dial 911 dispatch,

and explain the following.

Go ahead and write this down.

There's a 211 in progress,

and we have hostages.

Within one hour, they need

to deliver $10 million

in unmarked small denomination

bills to this bank

inside a department helicopter

loaded with fuel.

Tell them we plan on killing one hostage

every hour until our demands are met.

No cops are to

approach the bank.

And if a negotiator

even tries to contact us,

we will automatically kill

another hostage.

Is that clear?

You got it all?

Go ahead and pick up the phone.

DISPATCHER:
Any available units,

we have a bank 211 in progress...

Sh*t.

At the Pico Rivera Savings

in Montebello

at 2891 Wilcox and Atlantic.

Suspects are armed...

What the f***?

And have taken hostages

and are refusing a negotiator.

What the f*** is going on?

That's not their MO.

Call in, tell them we're on scene,

have suspects under surveillance,

and to back the f*** off.

This is LASD, we have surveillance

on the bank. Stand down.

I repeat,

have all units stand down.

It's bullshit. I can

hear them already.

(SIRENS WAILING)

BORRACHO:

What the f*** are they doing?

Stop!

Get out!

NICK:
What the f***

are you guys doing, huh?

A**hole!

What the f*** are you doing?

What's going on?

You were running surveillance,

and you let this sh*t go down?

It's our f***ing case. We've been

surveilling these guys for weeks.

That's what surveillance is!

They commit a crime,

and then we stop them.

Go. Go to the vault.

ENSON:
Open it.

Let's go. Come.

Sit. Sit down.

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

I'm going to put this

on speaker phone.

You're going to answer,

but don't use any names.

You understand?

Hello?

Hello, this is the Los Angeles

Police Department.

Who am I speaking with?

This is the branch manager.

Sir, I need to speak

with the person in charge.

You are.

Okay, good. Well, let me introduce myself.

I'm Officer Parada...

I don't give a f*** who you are.

Are our demands being met?

Who am I talking with now?

Answer the question.

It's being worked on

as we speak.

But you need to understand...

You just killed a hostage.

God damn it!

Get up. Get up!

No! No! No!

Come on, move!

I didn't do anything. Please.

(SOBBING) What are you doing?

Come on.

No! No! No!

(GUN FIRES)

F***!

You were on it, huh?

Sh*t!

You're so full of sh*t,

O'Brien...

You heard the demands,

you stupid motherf***er!

Yeah. You put a negotiator on?

Christ!

F*** you!

F*** me?

Yeah, f*** you!

F***ing nice haircut,

you f***ing idiot.

Who are you f***ing pushing now?

Are you f***ing kidding?

Get SWAT rolling right now!

You f***ing p*ssy.

F***ing Lobbin' Bob is angry!

All right, boss, let's go.

Let's go. Shitheads!

Let's go.

F***!

We've got a situation

going on...

Sh*t!

What the f*** are you

doing, Merrimen?

(PHONE RINGING)

Yeah?

This is the Police Department.

Please don't hang up.

My name's Danny,

I'll be your only contact. Nobody

else is going to call you.

Is this the person in charge?

This is the branch manager.

I'm speaking on the

man in charge's behalf.

Do you have a name,

branch manager?

(TREMBLING)

Listen. They've already killed

one of the hostages. A woman.

They will not

speak to you again.

If you call back again before their

demands are met, they'll kill another.

Just send what they want.

The money and the chopper

are en route,

but it's going to take

a little bit of time.

You need to give me at least

90 minutes. Is this doable?

Okay. Don't call back.

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATION)

(KEYPAD BEEPING)

(LINE RINGING)

NICK:
What's the prefix here?

TONY Z:
562. It's Long Beach.

(RINGING CONTINUES)

Hello?

You watching?

Yup.

(CHUCKLES)

So how the hell are you going

to get out of this one?

Not sure yet.

Did you get my number

from her cell?

I ain't cuffing up.

That's okay.

I didn't bring my cuffs anyway.

Yeah, I can see that.

Was that who I think it was?

Yup.

We've got a chopper

that's gonna come down.

The chopper is going to land

right over here.

(CHUCKLES)

I've got two-door entry on one.

One-door entry on two.

Breaching!

(CAR ALARMS BLARING)

Well, they just blew the vault.

What the f***?

WOMAN:
Federal Reserve,

accounts receiving.

Hey, it's Al at Alameda.

We have a drop at Pico Rivera

we need to schedule.

How's Wednesday at 2:00?

That works. You're confirmed

for 2:
00 p.m. the 18th.

Great. Thanks.

We're here, yeah?

Yeah, that's us.

So what is this?

This is the sewer line,

and according to this map right

here, it's all cemented up.

Hey, where are we

with the chopper?

We're waiting on clearance.

Relax, they're not

going anywhere.

To hell with clearance.

We've got to move.

BOB:
O'Brien, hey!

Is he off his meds?

Tell him to get

the f*** back here!

Will you shut the f*** up?

Oh, f*** you.

We better go back him up.

Nick's heading to the front.

We're on the move.

Here we go.

MURPH:
F***!

GUS:
Is he serious?

(BEEPING)

Everybody okay?

HOSTAGES:
Yes.

WOMAN:
Please, Lord, please,

let me see my family again.

(SOBBING)

Nick!

Sheriff's Department.

Nick!

Clear!

Clear!

The f***?

Nick, what's your location?

What's your location?

Hey, this is Al

at Alameda again.

I forgot to schedule a drop

at the Pico Rivera Savings.

What do you have open today?

MERRIMEN:
Ghetto Bird, this is Silverback.

We confirmed?

Check. Appointment's at 2:45.

That's in two minutes.

Pico Rivera.

(GATE OPENS)

Horsepower all set?

DONNIE:
Yeah, I'm ready to go.

MAN:
They got you

on a new route?

Yeah. Yeah, they just

switched us over this week.

All right. Let me

get you guys' IDs, man.

Yeah, sure. There you go.

All right.

You're good to go.

All right, thank you. Open the gate.

Have a good one.

(GATE BUZZES OPEN)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(INDISTINC POLICE RADIO CHATTER)

(NICK SIGHS)

Oh, f***.

Pico Rivera Savings? 2.2?

Yup, that's us.

Bring her up.

All right, ready.

One, two, three.

Sign here.

You got it.

You're new here, Mark?

Yes, sir.

You guys running

a little bit late.

Yeah, we ran into

some traffic, so...

I don't know where they had

you guys routed before,

but we run a tight, tight ship
