Going in Style

1

Good morning, Sir. Welcome to

Williamsburg Savings Bank.

Let me just grab a pager for you here,

and we'll get you to sit

with a banking professional

as soon as one becomes available.

What happens with this?

Oh, it's going to light up and vibrate.

The red lights spin around in a circle.

You won't be able to miss it.

Where do I wait?

The guest lounge.

We're ready for you now.

I'm seeing an overdrawn balance

in your daily checking.

Seems like your direct

deposits haven't been

received in a few months. From...

Wechsler Steel.

Yeah, I've been phoning them for weeks.

I couldn't get a straight answer.

And how about this, uh, foreclosure notice?

Ah. The yellow one. So

you must be in default.

My mortgage payment tripled. Overnight.

You were on our teaser rate promo,

which expired back in January.

That's why it's called a teaser rate.

Right? It doesn't last. Make sense?

And the new rate is quite a bit higher,

so the monthly mortgage payment jumped up.

Now, we are required to disclose that

possibility at the time of the refi.

- You did.

- I did what?

You sold me this crap.

Joe Harding.

No. I know the name.

Let me just look at my notes here.

Terms disclosed.

I personally disclosed

the possibility of a rate

hike during your refi.

Do you remember that?

You told me

that the odds on the rate

going past the prime rate

were extraordinary.

But possible.

But you sold me "extraordinary."

- But the "possible" was disclosed.

- Listen, Chuck.

My granddaughter and my

daughter, they live with me.

She is a nurse's aide, you

know, low pay and all that.

She wanted her kid to go to a better

school, so they moved in with me.

- Lots of people doing that.

- Yeah. So you see,

I can't lose my house.

Not to worry.

You're on the yellow notice.

The red one is more weighty.

Can I talk with someone else?

- Who?

- Someone smarter?

Ladies and gentlemen, thank

you for your attention.

We've come to make a withdrawal.

Aside from the tellers,

we invite you to lie down

on the floor, face up,

and hold your arms and legs

in the air like a pussycat.

Everybody down!

Tellers,

please do not be foolish enough

to trigger the silent alarm.

The last people we want

here would be the police.

That would be messy, no?

Put 'em up.

Why this? Oh, my God. Why here?

What did I do?

Hey!

I follow the book. Just follow procedure.

Just stay calm. Stay calm.

- Follow procedure.

- Hey!

You're going to get yourself shot!

Gentlemen, it's best to remain silent.

I'm cramping.

Relax, please. You can sit up.

- Ah.

- Hey, no! Not you! Pussycat!

Keep stuffing it in there.

Let's go. Come on.

You can have this.

I'm sorry you're a casualty of a corrupt

system that no longer serves the people.

Yeah. I've been banking here for 40 years.

You're just an account number.

It's not much, but it's all yours.

No, my friend. Not from you.

It is a culture's duty to

take care of its elderly.

Chuck here couldn't give a crap.

Chuck.

- Are you Chuck?

- Yes.

I'm Chuck. I'm Chuck.

Are you the one taking this man's house?

- I'm not, personally.

- Give me your wallet.

Okay. Look, I got... I have...

I have plenty of stuff here, okay? Cash.

There's a gym membership.

Take it. I never go.

Fifteen seconds.

- Pussycat!

- Meow.

Shut up!

I'm happy to say, our

time together has ended.

Please do not call the

police for 90 seconds.

A shoot-out never has a happy ending.

Oh. They make a pill for that.

That looks like a gang tattoo to me.

Very detailed.

I imagine the artist did them all.

So, if you find the tattoo parlor,

then you'll find the artist, and

you've got yourself a bank robber.

Sounds pretty standard to me.

Right. Well, thanks a lot, old-timer.

You know, we're going to

get you an application.

Hey, listen. I've watched this TV show

called Law and Order, and they solve

crimes much quicker than you do.

You should tune in.

Well, you know, in the real world,

solving crimes takes a little longer

than a one-hour television show.

Well, I guess this wraps

it up for us, Mr. Harding.

If we need any additional information,

then we'll get in contact with you.

Oh. You'll need my address

and phone number.

Uh, not necessary.

We'll find you. That's what we do.

So, what'd they look like?

It was hard to tell. They had masks on.

I got close to one. It was

a male, about six feet.

And he had this tattoo

wrapped around his neck

that I told you about.

You know, you find the tattoo artist...

- You find the criminal.

- Exactly.

That's what I told them.

Okay. I'm sure you're not supposed

to be talking about all of this.

It must have been so cool being

in the middle of a heist.

Crime is not cool, babe.

He could have been shot.

Or worse.

What's worse than being shot?

Being shot twice.

This kind of detail

is traditionally indicative

of gang affiliation.

We believe these individuals

used the same tattoo artist.

If we can find this artist,

then we can find our perp.

It's pretty standard stuff really.

- Hey, that's what we said.

- Any other questions?

What an a**hole.

Language.

If you have any information

regarding this tattoo artist...

Bingo!

"The three men walked off with

approximately 1.6 million dollars.

"The FBI and the NYPD

"are reporting no leads at this time."

So what?

Nobody gets hurt except the insurance

company. And they'll be fine.

They were as cool as cucumbers, gents.

They choreographed it down to the second.

Like a dance.

Yeah, a conga line right into prison.

Are we going to play or what?

Ask the man in charge.

Milton?

Milton!

Who're we rolling with on two?

Oh! Oh, yeah.

G-52.

If I ever get that bad, shoot me.

Oh.

Did you get one of these?

It came certified mail.

Yes, Sir.

You ever get good news

that needed a signature?

You contact anybody down at the plant?

Oh, not yet. But we'll

find out what's going on.

I need my pension money.

Oh. Yeah, tell me about it.

I have something very important to say.

G-52.

Let's go and help the elderly.

Now, at the time of our merger,

Semtech had no intentions of

shuttering U.S. operations.

However, with the demand for

specialty parts way down,

and the cost of operations in

this country rising steadily,

they have made the decision

to move all manufacturing to Vietnam.

Wechsler's stateside operations

will be phased out over the next 30 days.

30 days? What, are you kidding me?

Guys, I understand this is harsh news.

I can only address you

in an orderly fashion.

Excuse me, Mr. Lewis.

Hi, Joe.

What is this about?

What's going on with our pensions?

Semtech Steel has frozen

all pension payments during

this transitional period.

What does that mean? Frozen?

Wechsler maintained a fund

to honor all pre-merger pension plans,

which was eventually to be married

with the new pension fund

under the new labor contract.

For God's sake, can you

say that in English?

No U.S. operations, no fiscal

responsibility for Semtech.

The pension fund is being dissolved.
