Swelter
We're now three days into
that is beating down much
of the west this weekend.
And we're afraid to say,
it's not over yet.
The heat has claimed
at least one life in Nevada,
and the cumulative effect
of daily triple-digit highs
are being felt in other ways, even
grounding some commercial flights.
It's simply too hot to fly.
Again today, heat warnings
and advisories
are posted
as temperatures soar to
the 110s, even toward the 120s.
And the desert southwest at 119.
Phoenix experienced its
fourth hottest day in history.
The west is used to
sizzling summer temperatures,
but this week has been brutal.
We've just learned that
Las Vegas is once again
expected to have
its hottest day in 10 years.
Two hikers had to be rescued
after getting stuck
in the sweltering conditions.
Death Valley baking at 128 degrees, just
shy of the world record set a century ago.
We are approaching
the prison chapel.
Roger that.
Hey, who the f*** is this?
- It's Joey Bishop.
- I wanna be Sammy.
- Oh, for f***'s sake. Take it.
- Oh, come on guys.
Hey chief, this better be
the only face you remember.
- Open the cage, Carl.
- John?
- John, what are you...
- Carl, you didn't get the text?
- What the f*** is going on?
- I don't think he got the text.
He must have AT&T.
Come on.
Be a good little boy
and sit in the corner.
Okay. 30 seconds.
Just take the 100s.
Time.
Let's move.
of here with that money.
We'll be out of here
before you, chief.
Gentlemen, welcome
to the Top of the World.
Who are you guys supposed to be?
We're the bad guys.
Hey! It's the Back Street Boys!
It's the Rat Pack.
- Who's that?
- That's Joey Bishop.
You don't even look
anything like Joey Bishop.
Well, you don't look
like Marilyn Monroe.
- What the f***?
- I'm not. I'm Jayne Mansfield.
A**hole.
Hey, did you see
that f***ing sign?
Nobody's supposed
to be on the roof.
Where's Pike?
F*** it, man.
Don't even get dental.
We've been hit. Seal all exits.
- Copy.
- Wait for backup. I'm on my way.
- Just do it.
- Don't...
God is the main line
Tell him what you want
Jesus is on the main line
Tell him what you want
Jesus is on the main line
Tell him what you want
You got to call him up
and tell him what you want
Call him up and
tell him what you want
Hallelujah!
Shall we pray?
Thank you, our Heavenly Father,
for we have sinned.
be death,
salvation is at hand.
Though the flesh be evil,
the soul can be redeemed.
Cleansed by the blood of Our
Lord Jesus Christ and Savior.
Let us not be punished for
our past sins, oh Lord,
but judged for what lies
within our hearts.
Let us not be destroyed
by the fire and brimstone.
If but 20 righteous are found,
I pray thee Lord, spare us
for the sake of the 20.
Yea, if but 10 among us
are found to be righteous,
I beg thee, Lord,
do not destroy us for the 10.
For redemption is at hand.
In the name of the Father...
the Son...
and the Holy Ghost.
Amen.
Yo, yo, Cole. You see
that sh*t in there?
That was some grassy knoll
sh*t, motherf***er.
Did you see his head?
Bam, dude! Ha-ha! Do that...
Chapel transport, check in.
Hey Charlie, how's the sermon
today? You repent your sins?
- Hi sweetheart, how are you?
- Okay. I'm good.
Listen, a little concerned
about the bingo game.
- Yeah.
- What is Bishop doing that for?
I'm not... I'm not sure.
I haven't talked to him.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- Ladies. Babe.
- I told you, 7:
30.I know. I...
What? Had to break up an
illegal stickball game?
Oh, and they wanted me
to tell you...
that if you're planning to
shut down Tuesday bingo night,
they're going down
in a blaze of glory.
That bingo night
is an illegal game.
Don't you think this town
needs a little break?
Illegal gambling, prostitution, that's
the kind of town you wanna live in?
The town I wanna live in
isn't even in this state.
And where's London?
She didn't come with you?
So I talked to Billy
over at the Gold Strike.
I'd just be
bar-backing at first.
But he said they're
always looking for dealers.
a job cleaning toilets.
They're always needing maids.
Well, I was thinking
I'd work double shifts while...
you go to nursing school.
I just wanna get
out of this town.
What, you think
I wanna stay here?
Football was gonna
be my way out.
Now even the army won't take me.
London.
London!
Thinkin' all night
Workin' all day
This is my life
So have it your way
Thinkin' all night
Workin' all day
This is my life
So have it your way
Ms. Talbot has
another yeast infection.
The woman's like
a brewery down there.
- Any other appointments?
- No.
Give me a second to set up.
You got an emergency, Doc?
Yes. I'm replacing a liver.
Mine.
You know, there's a
well-thought out process here.
You make an appointment, you take
your turn with everybody else.
- Headaches getting worse?
- I think I need something stronger.
Oh, if you want something stronger, go
see Big T in the Denny's parking lot.
Take a seat.
Really? Is that necessary?
Well how about you pretend to be a
patient and I'll pretend to be a doctor?
Look at the bunny.
- Any more hallucinations?
- No. Nothing that makes sense.
Nothing?
- Find a soul in there yet?
- Not yet.
Mindy!
Heard him sneak
in the back, like always.
Thank you, nurse.
Your film came back
from the lab last week.
Last week?
Mm-hmm.
It confirms my earlier
diagnosis. You're f***ed.
See this area here? This
part of the brain right here?
Yeah.
I don't know what it controls, but
I'm pretty sure it's important.
You know, a car accident, a blow
to the head, a sneeze, even,
all it takes is for one of these
bullet fragments to move...
even half a millimeter... and
you may forget how to piss.
Hasn't moved in 10 years.
Neither have my bowels,
but one day, God willing.
He's a Chester, named Mouth,
fresh out of the joint.
Likes little girls.
Used to brag about the Vegas
job, like he was there.
And more than that, he
said the guy that got away
took one in the head.
Cole's chasin'
a f***in' dead man.
It's gotta be a 110 degrees out here.
It's not even noon.
Yeah, but it's a dry heat.
Oh, sh*t! For... God damn it!
I'm gonna f*** you up, man.
Hey Mouth.
Not worth it.
- Goin' out for donuts!
- And this just in.
Authorities report a prison break at
Nevada State has left seven guards dead...
believed to be work of the
gang known as the Rat Pack...
Who the f*** shut off
my f***in' radio, goddamn it!
- Where's Jim?
- Went for donuts.
Is there something
I can help you with?
What do you know about the casino
Just what I read in the papers.
Why you asking me?
I got 10 million reasons.
Well, I don't know
sh*t about it.
That's not what I hear.
What I hear is, you can't
