No Good Deed Page #2

Synopsis: About a police detective, Jack, who, while doing a friend a favor and searching for a runaway teenager on Turk Street, stumbles upon a bizarre band of criminals about to pull off a bank robbery. Jack finds himself being held hostage while the criminals decide what to do with him, and the leader's beautiful girlfriend, Erin, is left alone to watch Jack. Erin, who we discover is a master manipulator of the men in the gang, reveals another side to Jack - a melancholy romantic who could have been a classical cellist. She finds Jack's captivity an irresistible turn-on and he can't figure out if she's for real, or manipulating him, too. Before the gang returns, Jack and Erin's connection intensifies and who ends up with the money is anyone's guess.

Dear Lord, for that which we

are about to receive--

Ten million dollars, amen!

You always forget the ketchup.

Bring me a beer.

Please.

No, thank you.

He's probably not used

to eating a proper breakfast.

This is delicious.

Remember, you're flying, Thomas.

I flew 57 missions in Korea, and l was

drunk every time. Don't you tell me--

Let him drink.

I'll fly the damn plane.

Pilot to copilot, shut up

while l'm telling my story.

Excuse me, dear, but nobody

gives a titty about your story.

Well, l don't want this punk

interrupting me.

Come on, old man. You wanna fly us?

l'll let you fly. Come on.

Come on! First one's free.

Are you children?

Must l put you in separate rooms?

Take him into the kitchen.

-You brought the cops.

-Shut up.

You defective little prick.

It's our banker friend. Delay him.

Keep him out of the house.

Your clothing is inappropriate.

Go change it.

-David, what are you doing here?

-Well, l needed to see Erin.

She left me a message,

said it was important.

-She's not available just now.

-Where is she?

Frankly, l don't know.

I just came in from shopping.

I'm sure she'll

get in touch with you later.

Why don't you go back

to your office.

If Mr. Quarre knew

you were playing hooky...

...he might not look so kindly on you

dating his granddaughter.

David!

Erin!

Hey.

It's happening today.

-What?

-Yeah. Now.

-Why?

-Well, l don't know why...

...but everyone says it has to be.

Look, l can't.

If you want us to be together,

you have to.

Go back to the bank,

and we'll see you soon, okay?

David, l'm on the street in my robe.

Look, l adore you.

Thomas, lsabelle. If we're delayed,

simply wait at the landing field.

Keep your cell phone on,

in case of a problem. Erin!

You'll stay and entertain our guest.

What about David? He expects me.

I will deal with David.

-Hoop?

-Yeah.

Good.

So shall we?

Take my bags.

Both of them.

Be available to take calls.

David may need to hear

your devoted voice for reassurance.

You're art.

Do not fade.

You comfortable?

Been better.

Hey, you okay?

May l have some water?

Water?

You look a little stressed.

-Look, Miss...?

-Erin.

Erin, you need to let me go...

...before that headcase, Hoop,

comes back to kill me.

Tyrone won't let Hoop kill you.

Tyrone...

...is against killing.

So....

Do you want any kind of music?

Would you like some music?

Look, miss, please--

I can't let you escape.

Then l would have to escape,

and no one escapes Tyrone.

That's ridiculous.

Is it?

This is how Tyrone says,

"You shouldn't have left."

It's all right. I get 1 0 percent

off my pedicures now.

-Are you taking your medication?

-Why?

You appear agitated.

Yeah. Well, you piss me off.

They got a medication to make you

stop doing that?

So, what do you plan on doing

with your share of the money?

I don't know.

I want-- I wanna breed dogs.

Back in Utah.

Excellent.

So is there a young lady

in the picture?

Maybe there is,

maybe there isn't.

-David Brewster.

-We're here. Hoop is beginning.

-Why are we doing this today?

-What?

-What did you say?

-I need an explanation.

Your explanation comes in the form

ofyour share of the money.

-Is Erin there?

-No, she's not.

But l have complete faith you

can swindle your bank without her.

Just make sure you're available

when l enter.

You don't look so good.

That's because you're

used to looking at you.

Maybe that drink wasn't such

a good idea. What should l do?

What should you do? Find that picture

so you can see l was telling the truth.

And you can tell your friends.

I look a lot better when l'm not waiting

for someone to kill me.

All right.

Listen, l couldn't find

the picture, okay?

Listen, l couldn't find

the picture, okay?

I walked the whole block.

Hey.

Oh, God.

Please don't die.

Don't die. Please.

Sh*t!

Sh*t!

How you doing, leatherhead?

I got the generator set up, just in case

this storm messes with the lights.

How's it look?

Oh, it looks great.

I've been thinking about

those missions--

-Has the plane been fueled?

-Yep.

And l'll be here just as long

as you need me.

Excuse me, sir.

I put your kit in the fridge.

You could have let me die.

"Cop dead from a diabetic coma."

It's perfect.

Dump the body somewhere.

Nobody would ever know

he'd been kidnapped.

I guess l owe you one.

I mean that.

I noticed your suitcases

were packed.

Were you supposed to be

somewhere else today?

Not on Turk Street.

Like where?

The Berkshires.

A fantasy camp

for frustrated musicians.

Basketball junkies go to

Michael Jordan's basketball clinic.

I get my fix playing with Yo-Yo Ma.

Your apartment struck me as lonely.

Don't cops dream?

Nightmares mostly.

I don't trust you leaving here

without seeing Erin.

Then by all means, you should

call her for your assurance.

I trust she's at home.

Women talk.

Some excessively.

-Yes?

-We got problems.

The system is patched

into a backup power source...

-...that's very complicated.

-Can you deactivate it?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'm working on it.

It's just gonna take some time.

-H.ow much?

-I don't know.

Two, three minutes tops.

Do it.

Did l hear what l just heard?

I was a state-sponsored prodigy

until Moscow collapsed.

My peers became prostitutes,

musically or otherwise.

I met a man in a bar.

Tyrone became your ticket out.

He said he saw my potential. I

flattered myself he meant my music.

So you guys are robbing

a bank, right?

How?

Just smile.

So tell me about

the Federal Reserve.

You really don't know who we are?

I'm just a cop who finds stolen cars,

who's looking for a lost girl.

And look, you found one.

You are not lost.

It would take a search party

to find me.

What are you doing?

Stand.

Have a seat.

We have backup generators.

Ladies and gentlemen,

please calm down.

-The problem will be fixed.

-Send the money.

-Send the money! Send the money!

-Please remain calm.

Sir, could you help us shine

the light--?

I'm sorry. I'm sure the problem

is just momentary.

I don't have moments. Tell your loan

officer to wire my loan immediately.

We wire funds electronically.

Our computers are--

Well, to hell with your computers!

My funds must be sent by 6:00!

Sir, l'm afraid that if wiring the funds

is an impossibility, the agreement--

Have you heard of this device? Can it

not be used to transfer said funds?

Sir, please, just calm yourself.

If you would, just step into my office.

Would you mind, please?

Do you know Chanson Triste

by du Parc?

Do you like being tied up in a chair?

Or would you rather play

some beautiful music?

How much are we talking about?

Ten million. Our spread is substantial.

It went to committee.

Now, think lender liability, sirs.

If those funds aren't in escrow

by day's end...

...my company will lose

a $1 00 million contract.

So consider that to be

your true exposure.

My laptop is charged.

I could modem it through.

I'm calling my lawyer.

Sir, that won't be necessary.
