The Getaway Page #3

Synopsis: Doc McCoy is put in prison because his partners chickened out and flew off without him after exchanging a prisoner with a lot of money. Doc knows Jack Benyon, a rich "business"-man, is up to something big, so he tells his wife (Carol McCoy) to tell him that he's for sale if Benyon can get him out of prison. Benyon pulls some strings and Doc McCoy is released again. Unfortunately he has to cooperate with the same person that got him to prison.

It blows. There's your diversion.

Inside the vault room, two, maybe three guards.

Probably two accountants in the safe area itself.

You got one guard with a.38 on your right-hand side...

when you come through this door.

That's him on the monitor right now.

Let's take care of him right away.

Be careful that he doesn't panic and try to shoot somebody.

One of these boys does try to get off a shot, this might come in handy.

I been workin' ten years without one of these.

I sure as hell don't need it now.

Might change my luck.

Nah, not for me.

Suit yourselves. After that, we're gonna switch cars at, uh...

- Sutter's Ranch. -Sutter's Ranch.

Now, once I settle up with Benyon,

we're all gonna meet in Tucson to, uh, cut up the money.

Unless we're hot, in which case we have to travel to El Paso.

Man, why do we got to go all the way to El Paso?

I know a guy there runs a place called the Border Hotel.

He can get us some passports and I.D.s.

The stuff's expensive, but it's the best;

get us into Mexico nice and clean.

After that, boys, it's adios and good-bye.

Why do we have to go in so hard?

-We all gotta be John Dillinger for this one. -Dillinger got killed.

Yeah.

- You all right?

Benyon said I was a lucky man.

You are...

a lucky man.

Oh, yeah?

You trust me?

-Yeah, I guess so. -You better.

Tell me everything's gonna be okay tomorrow, Doc.

I don't wanna spend any more time without you.

Hey, you're not the only one that's ready to quit this life.

-Uh-uh. -Mm-hmm.

You spend some time in prison,

you do a lot of thinkin'.

Listen to me.

This is gonna be our last job.

You know that, don't you?

You mean it? Really? You do?

Get out!

-The inside post is held by the favored Shoo Fly,

the winner of the last two races.

Second favored:
B.D.'s Folly...

- And they're off! At the break, it's B.D.'s Folly.

-Jesus. -Sorry.

Okay, a couple more feet. Go, go, go, good.

Come on, come on.

It's all okay. Thanks.

- It is now post time.

The lure is now in motion.

There he is now, turning into the back stretch.

They're reaching the final turn and the home stretch.

- Three.

Ten seconds.

What's goin' on here?

The emergency power should've come on. Why don't you close the vault?

I'm just gonna find out what's goin' on. You better set the time lock.

-Ready? -Let's go.

Bill, the phones are dead.

-Watch out!

Move! On the floor, heads towards the wall, now!

-On the floor, head towards the door!

-Drop the gun!

-Drop the gun on the floor! Open the door! -Do what he says!

- Heads towards the door, now!

-My God, don't hurt him! -Now! Move, move!

-Everybody, out! Out! Move, move, move!

-Let's go in now!

-Head toward the door! -No, don't hurt me!
