No Good Deed Page #4

Synopsis: About a police detective, Jack, who, while doing a friend a favor and searching for a runaway teenager on Turk Street, stumbles upon a bizarre band of criminals about to pull off a bank robbery. Jack finds himself being held hostage while the criminals decide what to do with him, and the leader's beautiful girlfriend, Erin, is left alone to watch Jack. Erin, who we discover is a master manipulator of the men in the gang, reveals another side to Jack - a melancholy romantic who could have been a classical cellist. She finds Jack's captivity an irresistible turn-on and he can't figure out if she's for real, or manipulating him, too. Before the gang returns, Jack and Erin's connection intensifies and who ends up with the money is anyone's guess.

Hey.

Oh, God.

Please don't die.

Don't die. Please.

Sh*t!

Sh*t!

How you doing, leatherhead?

I got the generator set up, just in case

this storm messes with the lights.

How's it look?

Oh, it looks great.

I've been thinking about

those missions--

-Has the plane been fueled?

-Yep.

And l'll be here just as long

as you need me.

Excuse me, sir.

I put your kit in the fridge.

You could have let me die.

"Cop dead from a diabetic coma."

It's perfect.

Dump the body somewhere.

Nobody would ever know

he'd been kidnapped.

I guess l owe you one.

I mean that.

I noticed your suitcases

were packed.

Were you supposed to be

somewhere else today?

Not on Turk Street.

Like where?

The Berkshires.

A fantasy camp

for frustrated musicians.

Basketball junkies go to

Michael Jordan's basketball clinic.

I get my fix playing with Yo-Yo Ma.

Your apartment struck me as lonely.

Don't cops dream?

Nightmares mostly.

I don't trust you leaving here

without seeing Erin.

Then by all means, you should

call her for your assurance.

I trust she's at home.

Women talk.

Some excessively.

-Yes?

-We got problems.

The system is patched

into a backup power source...

-...that's very complicated.

-Can you deactivate it?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'm working on it.

It's just gonna take some time.

-H.ow much?

-I don't know.

Two, three minutes tops.

Do it.

Did l hear what l just heard?

I was a state-sponsored prodigy

until Moscow collapsed.

My peers became prostitutes,

musically or otherwise.

I met a man in a bar.

Tyrone became your ticket out.

He said he saw my potential. I

flattered myself he meant my music.

So you guys are robbing

a bank, right?

How?

Just smile.

So tell me about

the Federal Reserve.

You really don't know who we are?

I'm just a cop who finds stolen cars,

who's looking for a lost girl.

And look, you found one.

You are not lost.

It would take a search party

to find me.

What are you doing?

Stand.

Have a seat.

We have backup generators.

Ladies and gentlemen,

please calm down.

-The problem will be fixed.

-Send the money.

-Send the money! Send the money!

-Please remain calm.

Sir, could you help us shine

the light--?

I'm sorry. I'm sure the problem

is just momentary.

I don't have moments. Tell your loan

officer to wire my loan immediately.

We wire funds electronically.

Our computers are--

Well, to hell with your computers!

My funds must be sent by 6:00!

Sir, l'm afraid that if wiring the funds

is an impossibility, the agreement--

Have you heard of this device? Can it

not be used to transfer said funds?

Sir, please, just calm yourself.

If you would, just step into my office.

Would you mind, please?
