Hell or High Water Page #5

We go to Coleman right now.

If that ain't enough,

we head to post.

If we don't leave now for post,

we won't get there till noon.

You don't wanna rob a bank

at lunchtime, do you?

Yeah, we don't know the

patterns of folks out there.

The patterns are

the same everywhere.

All these towns are dead.

Post ain't no different.

It's a bigger bank.

We'll leave your

car just out of town.

Come on now.

Sh*t.

I think I got this figured.

First two banks,

they were Texas midland banks.

All right, there are seven

branches altogether.

The main branch

is in fort worth.

They're not gonna

mess with that.

All right? They hit

the branch in Olney.

They hit the one in Archer city.

Then there's the one here.

Which they did not hit.

Alberto, will you

please follow me?

Just keep your mouth shut

and just listen

to what I'm gonna say.

There's the one here,

then there's the one

in childress.

There's the one in Jayton.

That one's closed.

I know that one's closed!

I know that one's

closed, Alberto.

That's my point.

Jayton is closed.

That just leaves post.

They're not gonna mess

with the bank in childress,

that's a fairly

decent-sized town.

The branch in Vernon wasn't

Midlands and they hit that.

Yeah, one of them did.

Alone.

Then he ran all the way across

the road to get to the car.

I think his partner had no

idea that was gonna happen.

And what does that mean to us?

It means that the only branch

that fits the bill is in post.

Well, then let's go.

The town looks busy.

Little bit.

My word.

It's too big.

That's what she said.

It's no good.

Aw, this ain't your first rodeo.

Bigger bank.

More money.

Everybody,

get on the f***ing ground!

Get on the f***ing ground!

Young ladies, get on

the f***ing ground! Now!

Sir, down!

On the ground! Now!

Thank you very much.

Tellers stand up!

Open the drawers!

Get down!

Take three steps back!

Open the f***ing drawer,

young lady!

Are you deaf and dumb?

I said open

the motherfucking drawer!

You, down!

Now, step back!

Very good.

Someone's paying attention.

Now, get on your

motherfucking knees!

Hey!

Stay down!

All right.

Hey, hey, let's go!

Call 911.

Jesus f***ing Christ.

The whole goddamn

town is shooting at us.

Get in the back.

Get in the f***ing back.

Come on, let's go,

get in the car!

Don't let them get away!

How you doing

back there, little brother?

You f***ing killed them.

Those concealed carry permits sure

complicate a bank robbery, don't they?

It's not my fault it was payday.

This has gone too far, tan.

No one was supposed

to f***ing die.

It was them

or us, take your pick.

Yeah, go, Margaret.

Texas Midlands in post

has just been hit.

Ah! What did I tell you?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Locals are in chase.

Suspects escaping

west in an old bronco.

All right, Margaret,

keep us posted.

We're on our way there.

Give me an Indian whoop.

Come on.

These boys gonna go down.

Let's get some giddy-up

music going on there.

Oh, please, not that.

Yeah.

Hey, hey. Come on.

Snap out of it.

Snap the f*** out of it.

Sh*t, let me see that.

You're hit.

Boy, you're hit.

Get the back.

Well, you'll live.

It's a through and through.

Compress it.

Wrap it up.

You got to wrap it up tight.

Front and back, front and back.

Wrap it tight.

Oh, brother, hear me now,

hear me clear.

Unless you wanna be a black

mark on your sons' lives,

I need you mountain lion mean.

You hear me?

I hear you.

Mountain lion mean.

Yeah.

Yeah. It's gonna be okay,

it's gonna be okay.

Hold on.

Yeah.

Go.

Here, take the money.

Let's go.

Get to the casino,

change the money

like we planned.

This was your plan.

And it worked.

Every step of the way.

Trust it.

Where are you headed?

Don't be stupid.

I love you, Toby.

I mean it.

I love you, too.

Hey, Tobe, go f*** yourself.

Go f*** yourself.

Yippee hiyiyo.

You little doggies.

This is what they call

white man's intuition.

Sometimes a blind pig

finds a truffle.

Back up! Oh, sh*t!

Go! Move!

My word.

All right. We're gonna

need a SWAT unit up here

and a helo to pin

these boys down.

I'm on it.

Suspect is a white male.

He's got a rifle.

Get down.

He's on the Ridge!

He's on the Ridge!

Come on! I see him!

There's just one?

Yep, just one.

There's supposed

to be two of them.

Maybe the town folks got one.

Well, if they did,

they got the smart one.

This old boy is out of his mind.

Why don't you slip up

this canyon and tomahawk

that son of a b*tch?

Ranger down.

Call it in.

Get back. Back.

Back those trucks up.

Get back.

Get these trucks back.

Back up.

Back them up.

How well you know

the land around here?

Like the back of my hand.

All right. He's hid up in

that brush on that hill.

Can you get me up

there behind him?

Give me a half hour,

I'll have that bastard

field dressed on

the hood of my truck.

I can't let you do

that. You just get me there.

That's gonna be a 500-yard

shot if he's where you said.

Just get me there!

Sh*t.

How are you doing?

Good. You?

Where are you headed?

Ruidoso.

Where you from?

Hamlin.

Taking the scenic route?

Taking the only way I can.

They got the road

closed at post.

Everywhere you turn

they got the road closed.

You got your license on you?

Yes, I do.

Wait right there.

Yes, sir.

Sir.

Yeah.

Have a good day.

Thanks much.

You're pretty winded.

Y'oughta let me take the shot.

Hell, it's my gun.

Not on your life.

He's mine.

Just left of the tree.

I got him.

I got you.

Lord of the plains.

That's me.

Then like something

out of a dime-store novel,

Texas highway

patrol and the locals

chased the robbers

to this hillside behind me,

20 miles west of town,

where the gunfight continued.

And right now we do know

ranger Marcus Hamilton

killed one of the gunmen

using a rifle he actually

borrowed from a resident here.

We don't know the name

of that suspect yet...

Lucky guy.

Just in the Nick of time, too.

What are the odds?

Now, this, uh, satisfies

both the reverse mortgage

loan and the, uh...

And the back taxes that we've

paid on your mother's behalf.

We do that as courtesy,

of course.

You can fax the release

of lien to that number.

An attorney?

All right. Well, I'll...

I'll get that faxed over to your

attorney by the end of the week.

It is the end of the week.

I wanna watch you do it.

Well, it takes

a little time to prepare.

I got all day.

Okay. That's it.

And it's been a pleasure

doing business with you.

Let me ask you a question.

Do y'all manage trusts?

Hey, Marcus, ain't you

supposed to be retired?

Howdy.

Nice to see you.

Well, hey, Marcus.

Hey, Margaret.

Been awhile.

How's life as a civilian?

Oh, just, you know...

Think I can take a peek

at Mr. Howard's file?

Tanner Howard.

Oh, come on. I ain't got

nothing better to do.

It's at my desk.

Uh...

Oh.

He killed this father

in a hunting accident, huh?

I'd love to know what he was

hunting in the barn in April.

Ten years in Huntsville
