[Alarm Ringing ]

[Alarm Continues] Goddamn it!

You set the alarm off!

Come on!

Now move!

Move, move, move,

move, move!

Let's go.

[Woman Screams]

[Glass Shatters]

No! You triggered the alarm!

You're starting to scare

the sh*t out of me!

[Tires Screeching ]

[Alarm Continues]

All right, let's move.

I covered him out the back.

He's okay.

Let's move, all right?

[Tires Squealing ]

I never thought I'd be standing around,

waiting for this cowboy to make it.

Well, you are,

and he will.

You don't have

any doubts, huh?

About our desperado?

About your badge.

[ Chuckles ]

Boy. You are really an

a**hole, you know that?

Can't get over

the mistake you made.

You've been set up, you know.

By a cop.

That's right.

He's waiting for you right now

at the wrong place.

Me and my friend

don't want to show up.

You two hotshots have both

been set up, haven't you?

You know what always

amazed me about you?

A guy with your attitude

never carries a gun.

That's stupid.

Very stupid.

[Gun C*cks]

[ Engine Starts]

[Tires Squealing ]

[ Footsteps, Faint ]

[Chattering ]

[Man on P.A., Faint]

[Coins Drop]

[Coins Drop]

[ Continues ]

[ No Audible Dialogue ]

I want a room.

One night, maybe two.

Five bucks a night.

I'm expecting someone.

If she shows, send her right up.

Hey, you want a TV?

It's a dollar extra.

[ Country]

[ Detective ] Get on over and

keep your eye on our little lady.

[ Detective #2 ]

Right.

[ Detective #3 ] Forget it. I'll

put an A.P.B. out on all of them.

No, you won't.

What the hell

are you talking about?

It's tough doing business

with lowlifes.

They're unreliable.

But we got a few moves left.

Just, uh, makes the game

a little more interesting, that's all.

Yeah, well, I've been

watching your moves.

I gotta tell you,

I'm not all that impressed.

[ Chuckles ]

No sh*t?

[ Imitates Chuckle ]

No sh*t.

We got a mutiny

with this man here.

Sh*t.

Wait a second.

Now you're still on my team,

and I am your manager.

You do exactly

what I tell you to do, got it?

Suit yourself.

Now you're talking.

[ Engine Starts]

What about the other two?

I haven't seen them.

You better stay

out of sight for a while.

There's a cop trying

to put this one on me.

The money's hot.

I wanna trade it in.

Exchange rate's four-to-one at best.

I'll take it.

The train station, 9:00.

That sandwich counter

by the lockers.

I don't like it.

I didn't think you would.

I'll set it up,

but they won't do it

if you're there.

Tonight you'll be hotter

than the cash.

I'll get somebody.

Keep your eye out

for those other two.

They'll know

I have their money.

I told you, I'm not gonna

get killed for you.

Room 3004.

[ Gun Clicks ]

I don't know where he is.

I haven't seen him.

Just tell me what you want.

I just set things up.

It's his business

what happens after that.

If it was jewelry or bonds,

he might come to me.

But with cash,

he doesn't need me.

I won't see him till the next one.

[ C*cks ]

[ Ragged Breathing ]

In a hotel downtown.

The Doran.

The money's in a locker

at the train station.

9:
00 he's trading

for smaller bills.

That's all.

I warned him.

I told him I wouldn't

get killed for him.

Sure.

You don't have to play.

Everything goes all right, I'll have

your money by tomorrow morning.

I'll see it through.

I think you're crazy.

Put the key in a safe-deposit

box for six months,

then go get the money.

I'm on a streak.

I'm gonna play it out.

I'm gonna get it tonight.

I know all about streaks.

Every player says,

This time is different.

Maybe we are alike.

No.

When I lose, I just go broke.

You go to jail.

If it wasn't for that cop,

I'd tell you to go ahead.

He's the reason

I've got the rush on.

You don't care about the money.

Might even send it to him.

Sucker's game.

You think... maybe...

you could wait for a while?

[ Man On P.A., Faint]

Coffee.

I'll be right back

for my change.

[Coins Drop]

Ah, he's about 27, 28 years old.

He's a punk.

[ Detective]

Looks like they just switched keys.

Yeah. He's going back

to the lockers right now.

He's wearing

one of those cowboy suits.

He's got a beard-

a real sleaze-O.

He's exchanging the bag.

Black attach case.

Yeah, dirty money for clean.

Yeah. He's moving-

headed for the platform.

He's coming your way.

Right. I'll stick with him.

[ Bell Clanging ]

Sh*t!

[Train Horn Blowing ]

Look at your bag, pal? All right.

There's just some papers in it.

We'll see.

How about you, bub? Yeah.

Go ahead. Take a look.

[ Bell Clanging ]

[ Man ] Yeah? Police.

We're checking all the luggage.

Just a minute.

Notjust a minute. Now!

[Train Horn Blowing ]

Hey. What the hell

are you trying to-

Is that yours?

It's not mine.

Yours?

Is that yours?

Look, man, I'm cool.

[ Shouts ] Is it yours? No!

Do you have one?

Yeah. it's up here.

Where is it? Where?

It's gone!

Was it light brown?

Yeah, that's right, man.

[Train Horn Blowing ]

You okay, lady?

A man took my purse.

He's got the key.

He ran to the other side

of the station.

[ Engine Starts]

There!

All right.

We got trouble. Go!

Go, gm!

[Tires Squealing ]

[ Horn Honking ]

[ Horn Honks ]

[ Horns Honking ]

[ Horn Honking ]

[ Honking Continues]

Aaah!

[ Steam Whistle Blowing ]

[Truck Horn Blowing ]

Let's get out of here!

- Look out! Look out!

- Aaah!

[Groaning ]

Give up.

[ Ragged Breathing ]

I just did the driving.

I ain't got no part in anything else.

Go home.

You Okay?

Yeah.

I'll see you in a couple of minutes.

Gotcha.

What happened?

Looks like

we both got swindled.

Looks like we both got ripped off

by the exchange man.

Lot of crooks

around these days.

Driver?

Sure you don't wanna keep this?

Here.

Go on.
