It has to be from downtown.
It's handled through this office, but it requires downtown approval.
I don't know.
It has been submitted.
Sylvia, can you help me with this?
Coming.
Closing time. Going in?
Yes, sir.
You the manager?
Keep talking like nothing was wrong.
Let me call you back.
Sonny, I'm getting really bad vibes.
What are you talking about?
Maybe we should take something smaller.
You crazy? He started already. He's got the gun out.
Go on, go over by the door.
Get over by the door.
Freeze!
-Nobody move! -Get over there!
Get away from those alarms.
Now get in the center.
He moves, shoot him!
Put the gun on him! Get out in the center.
I can't do it, Sonny.
I'm not going to make it.
What? Put it on him.
I can't do it.
Fuck me! Sal!
-What? -Where are you? He can't make it. 30 00:07:37,### --> 00:07:39,084 Fuck him. Let him go!
Come on!
All right, let him out.
Do what the gentleman says.
Let him out.
I'm sorry.
Shit!
-Don't take the car. -How do I get home?
Take the subway. We need the car.
The keys!
I'm sorry, Sonny.
All right, lock it.
What?
There's a girl under that desk over there.
We got rid of him. So now we just move it along.
You got them?
Now what did he say to me? Wait a minute.
Anybody here? What's this, a squirrel?
Hey, you!
Come on.
In the back there. No one's going to hurt you.
Go ahead, get to the back.
Pull the drapes!
You, to the back here.
Go to him, right there.
We're going to move this now. Just move it along.
Gotcha!
We're moving right along, folks. Going to get this thing done in half an hour.
We just got to block....
Knock out the TV.
There we go.
See?
No replay, folks. No alarms.
Let's get you fixed up and on your way.
-Is the vault open? -I can take care of that.
Good. Let's go. Take care of it.
Wait! What are you trying to do?
Trip the alarm? Use the spot key?
I was out of my mind.
Get your mind right!
I'm a Catholic. I don't want to hurt anybody!
-Yes, sir. -No alarms.
No alarms!
No games.
Use the other one.
Miriam...
...open the safe.
Put it in this.
What?
That's all there is.
What are you saying?
They picked it up today. There's only $1 ,1 00.
-It's true. -He'll shoot me!
I can't believe it.
I can't believe it!
There's no money here.
-Come on, Sonny, let's do it! -I'm doing it!
Too much! This is too much.
All right, come on. Let's go.
You answer it. Watch him, Sal.
You, come with me. Watch him!
-Sit down. -Who's the head teller here?
I am.
Open it up.
No, not all of it.
I worked in a bank. I know the alarms. All right? Don't play games with me.
You take one of these, go like this...
...in here, and out it comes.
You got your 1 00.
I'll call back.
No, it's decoy money. It's marked.
It's shit.
See?
Cheer up, you'll be the veterans of a robbery.
You know the bank sends you a dozen red roses?
Let him answer it.
Fucker! Don't get ideas.
I bark, that man there...he bites!
I'm on your side.
On my side, shit!
Listen, we got young girls here. You could watch your language.
I speak what I feel.
Watch my language! Empty the drawer out.
You'd have to find out from him.
Traveler's checks...
...and register.
The register!
You've got it. All right, let's go.
I'll take that from you.
All right, Sal, here we go.
Come on.
What are you doing?
I'm burning the register here.
Moving right along, folks.
We're leaving.
Let me have the keys.
Give him the keys.
Nobody will hurt you. We're going to leave.
Who's that?
The insurance guy from across the street. He probably saw the smoke.
Please, put out the fire.
I'll get water.
Stay right there!
-Call you later. -Get rid of him!
Get rid of him!
-Use your head. -I can handle it.
-Everything's all right? -Cigarette butt got in the wastebasket.
Then you're okay.
Thanks for keeping an eye out.
-Go now. We gave you all we've got. -Okay, we're going.
Answer the phone.
Get them in the vault.
-Where's the money? -Getting it! Got it.
He'll come with us.
Don't close it. How can we breathe?
Wait a minute!
-Wait. Listen. -What?
I will never make this. I'll have to go to the toilet.
It's no joke.
I've got a terrible fear of being locked in.
Who needs the bathroom?
I do too.
Now they all want to go.
Look, do you want to check it out?
It's the first door on your right.
All right, mouth, let's go.
First door on my right.
It's Maria!
I forgot she was in there.
She's always pulling this.
She should have 10 minutes, but--
Shut up! Nobody goes to the bathroom!
-Let's go. Out! -We're having a bank robbery.
Mulvaney speaking.
Mouth. Mouth!
-Here's your toilet. -It's for you.
What?
Phone.
For you.
-What are you doing? -Who is this?
Detective Sergeant Eugene Moretti, asshole! We got you by the balls.
I'm looking you right on the eye.
I can see you.
-Who is it? -Cops.
Come to the front door....
Hang it up.
Come on, let's go.
How'd that happen?
Did I do anything to hurt you? Did I treat you badly?
I'm on salary. I won't be a hero.
Did you have a plan or what?
What did you do, barge in on a whim?
Why light a fire?
I told you to get out...
...when you could, but you had to hang around.
He don't have a plan. It's all a whim. Rob a bank!
I had it planned!
Only the money should have been delivered, not taken away!
That fucking Jack, downtown, he gave me the wrong information.
What is this Jack supposed to be? A mastermind or what?
We're all in the barrel together and we want to get out of it.
All right, I got to have time to think. I got to think.
Keep away or we'll start throwing bodies out the door, one at a time. Got that?
Who is this?
Is there a Jenny here?
Who's Jenny here?
That's me.
It's the squirrel. You got a husband?
Well, he's on the phone.
Go ahead.
What could I tell him?
I don't know, whatever. Tell him the truth.
What a fucking comedy! W-N-E-W plays all the hits.
Listen. Don 't hang up.
-First, is anybody hurt in there? -No.
Keep away or we'll start throwing bodies out, one at a time. You got that?
Don't. Let me talk to you for a while. How many people you got?
No, call me back.
Call me back.
He wants to know when you'll be through.
What? Girlie, please!
Come on. Let's go.
-Where's the back door? -It's locked on the inside.
Where is it?
Through the passageway to the right.
Cover them!
You could just go ahead and look whatever's there.
Oh, yes, I will. Yes, I will.
-Let's go, come on. -Honey, I've got to go now.
I got to go.
I love you too.
All right, inside here.
I don't know what happened.
Maybe somebody tripped an alarm or something. I don't know.
But there's a way out of this.
-Were you serious about what you said? -About what?
About throwing those bodies out the door?
-That's what I want him to think. -I want to know what you think.
Because I'll tell you right now, I'm ready to do it.
Right. Okay.
-I mean it. -I know.
Listen, everybody. I know we got a problem here.
But there's a way out of this thing. I'm telling you.
All you got to do is cooperate with me.
Stay cool, and we'll get out of this.
Nobody gets hurt if you listen to me.
First, we'll do things a step at a time. You got to go to the bathroom, right?
She'll get to go to the bathroom.
Everybody who has to go is going. We'll do things together, okay?
What's the matter with him?
He's got asthma.
Asthma?
I'll take care of that.
-You, what's your name? -Mulvaney.
Come with me.
-He's got asthma and he's a guard? -They go to guard school.
To learn how to shoot? He doesn't have a gun.
They earn a $105 a week to fold the flag in the morning...
...straighten up. I don't know what they learn.
I want to block that door. In case they try coming in, I can hear it.
Let's move this.
Wait a minute. Hold it!
Let's get rid of this.
You got kids?
I got 2 kids and I'd like to see them again.
You'll see them again. You're being cooperative.
I got no complaints against you, whatsoever.
Whatsoever. You got bank insurance?
You know I do. You seem to know a lot about bank procedure.
I know a lot of things.
I just want to get you out of here safe, right?
What if I take you with me?
If you take anybody...
...please take me.
They'll shoot you, you know?
The cops...
...don't care about bank insurance. See what they did in Attica?
42 people killed. The innocent with the guilty.
I won't take you. I'll take one of the girls, a married one with kids.
Cops don't like it in the papers when they shoot a married woman with kids.
You're all right.
You won't fuck with me?
There's the FBI.
How you doing, Sheldon?
Why didn't you wait and try to take them outside?
An error in judgment.
Thought the S.O.S would be remorseful at the sight of a policeman.
And you know something?
Nobody said "hostage" yet, okay?
We got a bank robbery here.
How did the press guys get through the barrier?
We don't know what's up yet. We're setting up communications.
This is Ron Cummins from CBS. Can you tell me the situation?
We're setting up communications. Our perpetrators are in the bank.
That's all I can say now.
When I get it, you'll get it. That's all.
What are you doing on the fire escape?
I said on the roof. Get up on the roof, will you?
-Get the phone company? -Setting it up now.
This phone is going to be a direct line into the bank.
-Mulvaney speaking. -Moretti here. Let me talk to him.
This is Detective Sergeant Eugene Moretti.
You're there, we're here. What do we do?
I don't know. What do we do?
Are the people in the bank okay?
They're okay.
-You alone or you got confederates? -I'm not alone.
I got Sal.
What's that for, Salvatore?
He's a killer.
We're Vietnam veterans. Killing don't mean anything to us.
-In the army? -Yeah.
So you, what's your name?
Why do you want to know my name?
Just so I got something to call you.
Let's be reasonable, okay? Just give me your name.
Call me Sonny.
Listen, Sonny.
I want to see if the people are okay.
Right.
Then I want to work out a way to get them out.
I want to come over without a gun.
Frisk me so you'll trust me. We'll find a way out of this.
I just want to find some way that I can trust you too.
Not be on the street where you could shoot me.
-Some sign, right? -Right. Like what?
Let the people out.
Who do you think you're dealing with? A fucking idiot here?
They're keeping me alive. Let them out?
Talk to me. Just talk to me straight. I'm ready to talk.
Give us the women?
No, I've got women. That's all I've got.
Give me something. Give me one of them.
-One? -It's like a fair exchange.
I'll come over. I won't pack nothing, don't know if you'll take me hostage.
It's a sign of trust.
-How do I call you back? -It's a direct line.
Pick up the receiver and I'm here.
He wants one.
Him, right?
Right!
He goes.
What are we dealing with here?
You have to keep checking me out all the time?
Yeah.
He'll need the keys.
Got the keys?
Just the one, Sonny!
Don't fire!
What are you doing?
That's a hostage!
Don't fire!
Hold your fire!
We voted to send him out!
-He's one of the hostages! -Get away from him!
He's a hostage!
What the hell's the matter with you?
I don't give a fuck! Get out of here.
Hey, Sonny! Wait a minute!
That was your fault, Sonny.
We had the communications set up here.
We're not set up properly, with 250 cops here.
We don't know what goes on in there.
-You almost killed him! Are you crazy? -That was smart!
You say you got nothing but women, and throw out a guy. What's going on?
You wanted a hostage, I gave you one.
-Are you going to deal with us or not? -I gave you one.
You did, but you should have picked up the phone! Come on out.
I ain't packing nothing, see?
You can come out and frisk me. You can tell.
-Why? -To take a look at something.
-To see what you're up against. -I can see. Why come out?
Come out and see it all.
Sal is in there with the other people. Anything happens to me, they'll get it.
I don't forget about Sal. Come out and look.
-I got to check with him first. -You don't need that artillery.
5 minutes. You tell him that.
Take it easy.
Get them back. He's got a white flag.
Everything's okay.
Come on out.
He's too close here.
Get back! What the fuck are you doing?
Come on out.
Take a look at this.
Here, look! Look up here.
Over here.
Over there, right? We got everything here, okay?
You got the militia here.
Let Sal come look. What hope have you got?
Quit while you're ahead.
-It's only attempted robbery. -Armed robbery.
All right, armed, then! Nobody's been hurt.
Release the hostages. No one will worry over kidnapping charges.
At the most you'll get 5 years. You'll get out in 1 .
-What? -Kiss me.
When I'm being fucked, I like to get kissed on the mouth.
You're a city cop, right? Bank robbery's a federal offense.
They got me on kidnapping, armed robbery. They'll bury me.
I won't talk to somebody trying to con me. Get someone in charge.
I won't talk to some flunky pig trying to con me. What's he doing?
-Get back! -Why are they moving in?
Will you get the fuck back there?
Get over there!
Go on back there, man!
He wants to kill me so bad!
-No one's going to kill anybody. -Attica!
Attica!
Remember Attica!
Your word don't fucking matter!
Come on, calm down.
Put your guns down!
Without the TV guys, they'd kill us all!
Put your guns down!
Put them down!
Attica!
You got it, man!
Robbing a bank?
Why didn't he tell me he needed money?
He should have come to me if he needed money.
We know that 8 people are still being held on the bank.
The situation inside the bank is totally unknown to us other than...
...descriptions that have been obtained from Howard Calvin.
Why steal when your mom's a sucker?
We'll switch you now to Ron Cummons at the bank on Brooklyn.
Miss Benson, what's it like inside?
They're holding up, what can I say?
Got a deal?
The guy with the gun on us is a quiet type.
Any confidence in Detective Moretti?
They don't know Detective Moretti yet. I got to go now.
What's this with the hands?
She's out, let her stay.
They're my girls. I'm going back in there.
-Howard. How is he? -Howard's all right.
Put the TV on.
Girls, I was interviewed!
Looks good.
The media's there.
TV people.
They want to talk to you.
Hello, Sonny. You're on the air.
Would you answer a few questions for us?
Why are you doing this?
Hello?
I just saw myself there.
Why am I doing it?
-Doing what? -Robbing a bank.
I don't know what you mean by that.
I'm robbing a bank because they got money here.
I mean, why do you feel you have to steal for money?
Couldn't you get a job?
No. Doing what?
You know, if you want a job, you got to be a member of a union.
If you got no union card, you don't get a job.
What about non-union jobs?
What's wrong with him?
What do you mean non-union? Like what, a bank teller?
You know how much a bank teller makes? Not much.
$115 to start, right?
You can live on that?
I got a wife and kids. How am I to live on that? What do you make a week?
-I'm here to talk to you, Sonny. -Yeah, I'm talking to you.
We're entertainment, right? What do you got for us?
What do you want to get for it?
-Do you expect to be paid? -I don't need to be paid.
I'm here with my partner and 9 other people. See, we're dying!
You're going to see our brains on the sidewalk.
You'll show that on TV?
Have housewives see that? Instead of "As The World Turns"?
What do you got for me? I want something for that.
-You could give up. -Give up?
-You ever been in prison? -No.
No! Let's talk about something you fucking know about.
-How much you make a week? -Transmission has been interrupted.
Please stand by, we will return to our special news cast very soon.
Hello? What the fuck happened?
Guess he disliked your language.
Fuck him!
I don't know, they might deal with us.
I don't know about that guy out there.
But if I get the FBI involved in this, they might deal.
What do you think?
What's wrong?
You made a promise, didn't you? Did you promise me something?
Did you say either we get away clean or we kill ourselves?
-Did you? -I'm not talking about that.
Do you believe in keeping your promises? Does it still go?
Yes.
What are you talking about?
I won't go back to prison.
Kill them all now.
-Take your bayonet, jam it into their-- -Fuck you!
We ask for a jet. What do you think?
We get a helicopter.
We get a helicopter here, it lands on the roof...
...and takes us to a jet. And we fly the fuck out of the country.
We can do it.
We got them. We don't even know it.
We've got the hostages.
We've been looking at this the wrong way. We make the demands!
They'll give us what we want.
I'm flying to the tropics. Fuck the snow!
Where's the mouth?
-You ready to go to Algeria? -Algeria? Yeah, sure!
We're all going to sunny climes!
I can make it happen!
I've made it happen so far.
I can make it happen.
Give me Moretti.
All of you, go ahead, make calls. Call home or whatever.
We're going on a trip.
I want to talk to you.
-I'm coming out. -Good, I'll be there.
Let's go, he's coming out.
You must understand something.
If we leave the country, there's no coming back here.
There's no coming back.
If there's anyone you want to talk to...
...you want to say goodbye to, do it now.
No.
Is there any special country you want to go to?
Wyoming.
No, Wyoming.... That's not a country.
That's all right. I'll take care of it.
Put them down!
Put them down! You hear that? What do I have?
See this here, look! I got nothing up my sleeve!
I got nothing here either! Want to see my pockets? Here!
You need that gun, right!
Moretti! Tell them to put their guns down!
Put it in your holster!
Put the guns down!
You know what it means to put a gun down? What's this?
Right! Thank you very much!
You got it, right?
You got it, baby! Hey, Moretti!
You made it happen!
You got Maria in there!
He's got a gun in there!
Get him the fuck out of here!
How the hell did that happen?
-I got Sal in there! -Take it easy!
Notify the precinct.
Who the fuck is that?
One of them Spanish kids.
-Who's Maria? -She's inside.
Sal wants to see Sonny, says he'll shoot unless he does!
He's serious! Sonny, he means it!
It's all right.
-I'm sorry. -How'd that happen?
You got his girlfriend in there. You okay?
That fuck tried to kill me.
-You look all squeezed out. -I am squeezed out!
Let me see your head, all right?
-I'm bleeding! -Let me see it.
It's all right. You want to talk to me about something?
Should've heard that phone call.
Some creep calls up and says, "Kill everybody. "
Everyone wants to kill everyone.
I think you're going to get assholes like that any how, right?
I want to talk to you. I got an offer.
I want a helicopter.
And a jet to go wherever I want to go.
So I don't want a little jet, I want a big one.
One with a bar, a piano. Maybe I want to leave the country.
I don't know whether a helicopter would fit in here or not.
I'll check it.
-It could land on the roof. -That's asphalt, it'll break through.
I'll call my superiors, you understand?
Why not bring your superiors here?
Why am I talking to you if you got to call superiors?
-We don't always see eye-to-eye. -Yeah, so I'll talk to them.
I'll see what they say.
I'll talk to them and ask them, all right?
Anything else I can get you?
I want you to bring my wife down here.
-What do you give us? -What do you want?
The women hostages.
There's no talking to you!
I told you, that's all I got in there is women.
You going to talk to me or what?
I give one hostage for each thing you give me, see?
The helicopter for a hostage. The jet for a hostage.
You give me my wife, I give you a hostage.
Then the rest come home on the jet.
I'll see what they'll do, all right?
In the meantime, pick out who you want to give us.
And tell me where your wife is, all right?
I'm here minding my own business, I hear the transistor go "Sonny what?"
I can 't believe my ears! I grab the kids!
I'm telling you, Sonny didn't do it. It ain't him to rob a bank!
It ain't him to steal or hurt anybody or do nothing wrong!
He's never done wrong since the day I know him!
Night before last we're at Coney Island. I see he keeps a loaded gun on the car!
Things are adding up how crazy he's acting lately...
