Takers Page #7

Witnesses report...

I can feel it, man. Something's not right.

This is my fault, man.

I should've never brought him in.

- Hey, Ghost?

- Yes, sir?

Yeah.

That's the account card for the '04 job.

That's $250,000 for the Russians.

That puts us even now, Ghost.

Say what, Rahway?

You heard me. That puts us even.

Yeah, a'ight. My plan, your command.

I knew I could trust y'all.

Who is it?

It's him. Where you been? I been calling you!

- Police chased me.

- Police? Where?

You brought them here?

Jesse, you brought them here?

No. I shot one of them.

- What?

- What?

- Hold on! You shot a cop?

- I had to, man.

- Where the money?

- I stashed it.

- You left the money? Damn!

- Goddamn!

Stashed it? Hold, hold on! Everyone,

hold on. What happened, Jesse? Talk to me.

At the subway station, there was two cops.

And they just started chasing me.

And they chased you

out the crowd because of what?

How, how the hell am I supposed to know?

- Why?

- Ghost. Hold on.

- Hold on! Hold on!

- No, man, let him tell me why!

- So, what happened? You shot because?

- I don't know!

- I had to. He had me...

- Why'd you shoot him?

'Cause you stupid.

I had no choice!

He had me. He had me cold, man.

But he never fired at me.

It was... It was kind of like...

Like what?

Like he wanted me to shoot him.

Stupid ass!

Sh*t! I'll beat the sh*t out of you.

- G! G! Wait!

- Let him go! Let him go!

Get off me! Yo, cool it.

Get your hands off me!

- Back off! Back off!

- You understand what you just did?

- It wasn't my fault!

- You don't shoot cops!

I'll deal with it! Let him go!

You deal with it then, Jake!

That's a death sentence, young blood,

and I ain't going with you.

Nice one, Jesse.

Still taking passengers tonight?

Van Nuys Airport, 8:30.

Look, with everything that happened

today, nothing personal,

I'll take care of your finances

and then I'm out.

- Okay.

- Fair enough.

I'm standing about a block away

from the Monroe office building

in downtown Los Angeles

where an LAPD detective

was shot and killed about an hour ago.

Right on time.

Witnesses describe...

So, Jesse, how'd it feel

losing that money, shooting that cop?

- Ghost. Easy.

- What?

Now, we can't confirm,

at this hour, but the suspect...

Ghost, we ain't gotta act

like we friends anymore, do we?

Hey, business is business. Money is money.

I never said we were friends.

- Now, me and Lilli, however.

- Come here! You wanna...

Hey! Take it easy! Hey, Jake, Jake, Jake!

Hey, come on, take it easy!

He's not worth it, all right?

All right, let's get the fellas

and get out of here.

I'm here. Which room?

Hey, Welles, where you at? You got a 20?

Come on, man, I know you're out there.

Pick up.

We're worried about you. Where you...

All right, fellas, we're good.

We're out of here.

So, here's the deal.

Anyone wants to fly with...

- Where's Ghost?

- In the bathroom.

Get Ghost for me.

Tonight, Scott, 8:30, Van Nuys Airport,

all right?

Plane's ready. Bring your passports,

your bags, and your guns.

Ghost? Hey!

If you need anything,

make sure you give us a call.

What's he doing, taking a shower?

What's going on in here?

- What was that?

- Shower's on.

Hey, he's gone!

- I told you! I told you!

- What?

- I don't know about this.

- Damn!

- What are you talking about?

- Where'd he go?

- I knew this was a bad idea!

- Damn it!

Let's get out of here, let's get out.

Oh, sh*t!

Take out the automatic!

Jesse!

Hey, Jake, you okay?

Get up, man, get up! Come on, buddy!

Come on, man, come on!

- Out the back!

- Jesse, Jake, let's go!

Come on, let's go!

Go. I'm coming.

Go!

Come on, come on!

Where's A. J? Where's A. J? Where's...

Down, get down!

- Sh*t! Who are these guys?

- Sounds like Russians!

Jake! Check the hallway.

Let's put these beds up, let's go!

We got a shotgun in the hallway!

Stay low, stay low!

Sh*t! I'm out of ammo! I'm out, I'm out!

Where's Jake?

We gotta go, fellas. We gotta go.

Ghost set us up against the Russians.

Son of a b*tch, he must've sold them

on the same plan.

That's why they gave him the dispatcher

and that big hurry-up

was just to get us to do the job first.

- Yeah, and we bought it.

- Yeah, all of it.

Sh*t, the heat's gonna be coming down now.

I know. See you at the airport.

Lilli? Lilli?

Hold on, baby. Oh, God, baby, get up. Baby.

Oh, my God, baby, wake up. Oh, just...

Goddamn, the money's gone!

Jesse, help me! Help me!

Ghost. Ghost, I'm gonna kill you. Oh, God.

Jake, we got company.

Jake, we gotta go. We have to go.

Oh, God. Ghost.

Los Angeles Police Department.

Exit the building slowly.

You have 20 seconds to come out.

Look, Jake. I was wrong about Ghost.

I'm sorry, man.

It's not your fault.

Jesse, you ain't gotta be down with me

on this one.

You got your own life to think about, man.

I already told you. I'm never going back.

And this is my life.

My car's out back. Where's yours?

In front.

Let's take yours.

Thought you'd say that.

You ready, bro?

Just me and you, big brother. Let's go.

- Naomi.

- G!

- What are you doing? Come here.

- G!

What are you doing? Are you all right?

- They won't let me in your building.

- We've gotta go.

Come on, let's get in the car. All right.

- Just wanna go home.

- All right.

There you are.

- Talk to me.

- I'm almost to the airport.

Yeah, me, too.

Hey, I'm tripping.

Hear me out right quick, all right?

Yeah, what's up?

Ghost has had the jump on us

from the get-go, right?

So, why would he take us all out

and then only settle for the cash

from the '04 job?

- He wouldn't.

- Unless...

- Man, he plans on taking all the money.

- Sh*t, Scott. Scott has all the money.

Exactly. I'm on my way. I'm right behind you.

I know this is a little last-minute.

Have him meet me at the bank.

Come on, Scott, pick up. Scott, pick up.

Yeah, I'm coming in tonight.

You have to make yourself available

at 9:
00 a.m. Tomorrow, all right?

Can you do that?

You've reached Scott. I'm away from my cell.

Oh, God. No, Scott, pick up. Damn it.

All right.

Okay. Let's get out of here.

It's been a long day.

Can you pour me a Scotch?

Yeah, where are you going? You just

had to have it all, didn't you, Ghost?

- I'm just taking what's mine!

- Oh, yeah?

I should've shot you on the street today.

Naw, you should've shot me five years ago

on that fire escape.

You got caught, Ghost! You got caught!

You knew the game

when you was playing it!

You left me back there to die like I was sh*t!

You ain't sh*t, Ghost!

I helped you put this crew together!

So what? Now you wanna take it apart?

Drop the weapon! Drop it! Police!

Put them down!

- Put them down!

- Stay out of this!

- Better listen to him, cop.

- It's between me and him.

If you interfere, I'm gonna kill you, too.

- Last time, drop them!

- Sh*t.

What you expect me to do, G? Huh?

You took my money. Took my b*tch from me.

Just put me out the crew, huh?

What you thought I was gonna do?
