You jumped the yellow light, didn't you?

That crack-up was almost

into the infield.

I didn't even think they were

going to flash the yellow.

So instead of holding position...

...I figured it'd be best if

I got past the wreck, fast.

And they bar me for life.

Well, if they hadn't, I wouldn't have

the best wheel man in the business...

...and you wouldn't be a millionaire.

Yeah.

Are the crane truck and

the van taken care of?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

That's a good spot. The trees are

so thick you can't even see them.

Alright, it's 8:
30. You warm up

the truck, I'll open the doors.

Ah, it's 8:
30 already, huh?

Frankie...

The truck.

You okay?

Sure. Sure, I'm okay.

Alright, let's go.

We now take you to Salt Lake City,

where KCBO correspondent John Oliver...

...is covering the most

amazing robbery of all time.

Here is a special bulletin

on the gold train robbery:

Police are asking all citizens to

be on the lookout for 2 vehicles...

...one a large moving van,

the other a crane truck...

...reported to be the vehicles

used by the ghost-faced bandits.

Anyone seeing vehicles of this

description traveling in company...

...or forked together, please

notify your local police at once.

Unit 7. Trucks investigated. Not wanted

vehicles. Return to station. KLK out.

Alright, roger. Stand by.

- What's the trouble, officer?

- Oh, it's just routine.

- What are you carrying?

- Furniture.

- My own.

- Let's take a look.

- So you like gum?

- Well, they say it keeps you from smoking.

How long you been on the road?

Let's see, left Salt Lake

about 8 hours ago.

8 hours from Salt Lake.

You're really moving.

Hey, Tom, come up here a minute!

Hey, uh...

Hey...

Would you kinda take it careful, fellas?

If I get so much as a scratch on

that stuff, my wife will kill me!

Well, you know how women are.

You're okay, buddy.

- Take it easy, pal.

- Yeah, you too.

Hey, does that gum-chewing really

help cut down your smoking?

Oh, I don't smoke. I just want

to make sure I don't start.

12-33, stand by.

13-A-43, clear.

TSI-11, clear...

Hey, wait a minute. Hold on there! Halt!

Hold up there!

Halt!

Halt!

Halt!

TL-75, stand by.

Why don't they say something?

What do you want to hear, your name?

No. You know what I mean.

Nothing about those guards knocked out

by the gas, or the two guys we slugged.

They weren't hit too hard, were they?

How do you suppose the police know

about the trucks and the mask?

Yeah, but things happen sometimes.

609, can you handle the call?

No traffic unit available.

CM...[Click.]

I know one thing...

I'll be glad when we get past

one of these roadblocks.

This is it.

With that look on your face, you might
