- Great.

(HORN HONKING)

There we go.

Thank you.

(POLICE RADIO CHATTERING)

(TIRES SCREECH)

Malone got a big one.

How much did they actually get?

$2,660,527 and 62 cents.

Did you get a receipt?

The bank has a computer.

We have 32 witnesses in there

who saw everything.

Within an hour,

we're gonna have statements

from every one of them

and every last detail.

The fella they shot,

how's he getting along?

He's doin' fine. Just a slight wound.

When do you expect to make the arrests?

The usual. Any hour.

MAN:
Come on. Come on.

Get some more pictures of the guy...

(WOMAN CHATTERING ON P.A.)

How long do you plan

to stay in Geneva?

Three days.

Business or pleasure?

Business.

OFFICER:
Merci.

Do you have anything

to declare?

No, nothing.

- Georges.

- Monsieur Crown.

Do you have the tickets?

- Right here.

- Two baggages?

(SPEAKING FRENCH)

(AIRPLANE ENGINES REVVING)

There's nothing here, Lou.

I've been all over this thing.

Not a thing.

All right.

Sy! Anything?

They're right, Lou.

Looks like an army surplus smoke bomb.

Hey, Lou, they're gonna have

a hell of a time

getting it out of this marble.

(MUTTERS)

(GUN COCKING)

Anything for me, Russ?

Well, a .38's a .38.

No special markings.

Find me a revolver, Ed.

(PEOPLE CHATTERING)

Please, folks. All right!

Nothing. A great big nothing.

Organized. Scientific.

We're Boston's finest.

We're dummies.

(TYPEWRITER CLACKING)

Do you have that breakdown yet?

16,240 $20 bills,

19,871 $10 bills,

MARCIE:
34,465 $5 bills,

129,000 $1 bills.

It's all there.

But, what name?

Code name and the number.

And what address?

No address.

But, we do not know you.

But you will do it.

There'll be further deposits.

In cash. Also.

You see, we're both

in the same business.

What else can we do

to help you, sir?

The instructions can be

any month, any year,

but they must all be dated

the 19th of the month.

But only the 19th.

Thank you, sir.

(TAPPING UMBRELLA TWICE)

Enjoy my money.

Well, gentlemen,

it's a black day for banking

when five men walk in off the street,

just calmly scoop up...

Now, come on we've been

all through that, Jamie.

And a black, black day

for law enforcement

when the best thing you can do

is to cross your fingers

and pray for an informer.

And a downright inky day

for the insurance people

when you have to pay off, right?

Well, thank you,

Mr. MacDonald.

- Good day.

- Good day.

Good day.

Jamie.

Jamie, we don't know

who they are, where they are,

or what they did

with the money, your money.

They win, we lose.

So far.

There's someone, a special,

that we like to bring in whenever

- we run into a blank stone wall.
