broke my f***in'arm!

Get off

Get off

Get up, boys!

Break it up!

Break it up!

Come on, break it up!

Let's check your mobility.

Hey!

I'm looking at 30 more years here.

Do you think I care if I live or die?

How about your friend?

Does he care?

Does his wife? His kids?

Come on, give me that!

Give it! You too! Come on!

You, fat boy! Give me the gun!

Lay on the ground!

Move!

Now why don't you be a good ou

and take these off of me.

Now.

Tell me about your cars.

Lee, come on.

You did fine, son.

Just fine.

Is this yours, Granddad?

This yours, is it?

I'll take this.

Nothing more up-to-date?

Get in here!

Thank you for coming.

Pull over! Pull over!

Please step out, Miss.

I didn't know about it!

This way.

- Is there a problem?

- No problem.

I would have gone with them!

Thank you for your cooperation.

Guten tag.

It's Andre.

He's done it.

- Good afternoon, sir.

- Good afternoon.

Do you see that gentleman behind me?

He's my second. He's here to make sure that

after I leave, you don't do anything stupid.

Fill it up.

You're a lovely woman.

Well, I take whatever I want to

And, baby, I want you

...previously convicted in

a series ofbank robberies...

escaped today from custody.

It is suspected that

the precisely executed escape...

was planned by Stander...

With the assistance

of Patrick Lee McCall.

Both men were wearing disguises.

If that is you, Andre, then I trust that

God will help me to do the right thing.

I'll bet they're

pulling out all the stops to find us.

I can tell you what

they're doing right now.

They're sitting in a meeting in Jo'Burg.

Smoking fat cigars.

Trying to figure out how to handle this

without making themselves look...

even more witless

than they already are.

Bastards.

Oh, no, you can't be serious.

- You're next.

- Nah. There's no need.

Cops have got nothing on me.

No photos, nothing.

You lying sh*t, man.

Lie down!

Lie down!

Lie down!

Allan! Allan!

Outside the walls, Allan.

Trade test is over.

Let's go.

Lee.

Nice to see you.

Whoo-hoo!

I'm Peter Grey.

I'm very pleased to meet you.

Kenny Roberts.

Brandon Clayton!

Pleasure!

You swine!

Now, where to, my Chinas?

Now what do we do?

We f*** with the system, we crumble its

foundations and capitalize on the new disorder.

What the f*** is that

supposed to mean?

It means we rob every bank between

here and the other side ofJo'Burg.

Whoo! Whoo!

Sir?

- It's empty.

- Fill it.

Fill it. Quickly.

The bank's money or yours?

Help! Anybody help!

We'vejust been robbed!

Careful! They got a gun, eh!

I think it is, eh? Do you... Do you mean

we've been robbed by Andre Stander?

- Uh, yes, sir.

- Oh! Hey!

We've been robbed by Andre Stander, eh!

- Andre Stander! Oh, that's something, eh?

- Yeah. We'll just need you to...

The rent will be collected

on the first of each month.

The water is included

but not electricity.

- And we expect the house to be kept in a clean condition.

- Of course.

Do you have any references,

Mr. Clayton?

How about 2,000 rand, cash?

The best for my friends.

Tell me, sir,

uh, which side do you dress?

Uh, well, I usually just pull

them straight up like that.

Jesus! We look like bank

presidents, not bank robbers!

Then, we'll need some wheels

to match, eh!

Wait! Stop!

Extremely high-powered, more than capable

of 180, not that I've tried it personally.

But the Targa is the classic Porsche.

There are only four in the country,

Mr. Marshall... It is Mr. Marshall, isn't it?

This is the only one in this particularly

bright, vibrant color of canary yellow...

- Where the f*** are you going, man?

- I'm just going!

Speed, man. That's how they got you.

You pushed it too far.

If you go fast enough,

you can't see where you've come from.

I just think treating him

like any other criminal won't work.

Any other criminal wasn't

Captain of Detectives.

If we act like we're desperate

to apprehend Stander...

- it makes us only look like we're scared of him.

- Aren't we?

He's one man.

We're the damned government.

- Well, now he's three...

- Well, whatever. Bring him in. Quietly.

We are in control here, goddamn it!

As you say, sir.

- Morning, cowboy.

- You're good at collecting money.

Give us a hand, eh?

Hi.

Come on. Come on.

Move it!

Hey, lady.

Sit down. Back off, huh?

Thank you. Excuse me.

Fill her up.

- Oh!

- That's good. Zip it up. Zip it up. Okay. Very good.

Do they pay you much?

Twenty seconds.

Took 7,000 in cash.

But I knew all about

their other robberies, so...

There's 25,000 rand in there.

A downtown bank manager

has reported that due to his foresight...

- the gang missed a substantial sum hidden in a secondary safe.

- Oh!

- Allan.

- It's 52 degrees on the Reef.

In case you have a short memory,

this is a f***ing robbery.

Three banks were robbed

in theJohannesburg area today.

One of them, twice.

Andre Stander, the mastermind,

brazenly returned to the bank...

and allegedly robbed

a second set of its contents.

Peace in Lebanon is up for debate

as the U.S. And France...

It must be hard on you, boss?

Yeah. It is.

Very kind of you to ask, Harold.

The latest on the Stander gang...

is that Andre Stander look-a-like,

Mr. Mark Jennings...

has been arrested for the third time.

Mr. Jennings spoke to our reporter today

upon his release.

I can't walk in the streets,

I can't do my business.

I've been arrested three times as a Stander

and not one apology. Not one!

Just this morning...

Oh, poor bugger.

His 15 minutes used up.

It's enough to drive anybody crazy.

Do you fancy going out

and stealing a car?

Hey! Hey, Andre! Andre! She's cool!

She's my woman! I love her!

Every time you f***

you fall in love!

You understand.

You're one of us now.

You f*** up, you give us to the cops,

you're dead!

Like that.

That was nice.

She'll turn on us,

she'll turn on him...

the first time she's pushed.

Hey, don't take any notice of him, huh?

He's just jealous

'cause you're my chickie, eh?

Come here, my little Talia.

Don't worry. Come on.

Tarzan take you back to bed now.

Huh?

I've been in twice. She's seen me too much.

You do this one, you two.

She has a lot of firepower

at her fingertips, Andre.

It'll be easy. Lee, you distract her.

Send her to the back for Beretta rifles. Allan,

hop over the counter, ready for her return.

Don't worry, Allan. I'll protect you.

- May I help you?

- Do you have any Beretta rifles?

Uh, yes. Yes, we do.

Would you like the deluxe or standard?

Right. And so, what's the difference?

Well, the deluxe is checkered,

the standard isn't.

- Checkered meaning?

- It's like an engraving.

- Oh, is it?

- Yeah.

Well, I think then, uh, probably

the deluxe is what I'm looking for.

- All right. Let me just check the back for you.

- Right. Great, thank you.

F***! It's glass.

Hop over the counter. F***!

It's in the f***ing details, Andre.

What are you laughing at?

My pants are too tight.

Oh, sh*t!
