Come on, everybody.

Ten. You're not ten.

It's fun.

That's right. We love what we do. We love our work.

All right, come on, everybody. Guns down. Shake out your shoulders.

Shake it out. Come on.

Never mind.

We're lousy when we're tight.

Okay, it's showtime.

It's fun.

We love what we do. All right, let's get a little chatter going here. Come on,

come on, come on.

Okay, remember, have fun.

I love you. We love you, too.

Let's go to work. Let's go to work.

I'm going to be late for school.

Two minutes.

We'll be done in two minutes.

Don't time me. It was just an estimate.

You could bank at home by computer, you know.

Technology exists.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Allow me to introduce myself.

My name is Laurie Bay, better known as the Dancing Bandit. I'll be

inconveniencing you today with a brief robbery.

Please try to remain as calm as possible.

As you may note, I'm deaf, and I'm therefore speaking to you through my

interpreter, Henderson Cole.

Video cameras.

Colonial Bank. What bank?

Common Street.

Call Jimmy, tell him we'll meet him there. Kenny? What?

Colonial Bank. All units, let's go.

No, no, no, no, no.

Everybody up, everybody up.

I'm not one of those everybody down on the ground bandits. I prefer you to

remain standing.

Okay, then, listen up.

While my staff tends to business, let me tell you a little bit about who I am.

I'm known as the Dancing Bandit because with each stick -up, I customarily do a

celebratory dance.

That lends itself to a certain type of folklore that cast me as human, if not

delightful. A characterization I can exploit with a jury. Should I ever be

captured and brought to trial, that's not going to happen.

Thank you.

I've just got one more.

Well,

well, well.

What a gorgeous little boy.

You know sign language?

He learned it at school.

You can talk directly to me. I read lips.

Are you this boy's mother?

Yes.

Such a beautiful child.

It's a shame I don't kidnap.

Are you still studying sign language?

No. They discontinued the program budget cut.

Call. We're finished.

I'm done.

All right. My staff is finished.

Who's in charge here? I am.

I'm Kenneth Graham, the president.

Graham. Hello, Mr. Graham. The money that we've stolen is to be deducted from

the account of Mr. Gene Levanchi. Is that clear?

Gene Levanchi?

Anything in excess of $100 ,000 will return.

We want to make sure Mr. Levanchi's loss is fully insured.

With that, I believe we're done.

Finished.

Music. Be quick, guys. We got to go.

You want to join me? You better do it now. I won't dance long. I've got a full

day.

As you can see, she can pick up the beat.

I think I hear something, Cole.

Company, two units.

Police. Somebody hit the alarm.

Two more pulling up. We got trouble.

I'm very disappointed.

On my order, I want you to take out the point men.

Are you nuts? They got hostages in there. I haven't given the order yet.

What's happening?

The dancing bandit.

He's holding up the bank.

Dancing what?

Bandit. Modern day Robin Hood. Steal from the rich, give to the poor.

I think Jill's in there.

Back with her.

All other exits are on time locks.

Our only way out is through the front.

We need hostages.

At least three.

We're secure. The FBI's on the way. All right.

All right, listen in on that. This is Sheriff Brock.

Sheriff Brock speaking.

You are completely surrounded.

Do you hear me?

No, I can't.

Now listen to me. No, you listen to me.

You've interrupted our dance.

I'm very saddened. In fact, I'm annoyed.

This is what's going to happen.

We're going to board our truck with our money and a few hostages.

Once we're satisfied...

that we're away and we haven't been followed, we'll release the hostage.

got Agent Morrell from the FBI. He says do anything to stall. They're on their

way. They do not want this woman getting away. They've been chasing her for

months.

Okay.

I know I said I didn't kidnap, but unfortunately I need hostages.

Where's the little red -headed boy?

Oh, there.

No.

No. No. You want to ride with me? No.

I'll teach you more sign language. No, please.

Please. No.

Please. He'll be fine. I promise.

I always keep my promises.

No.

Please. Stop!

This is questionable judgment.

I have five people in here with automatic weapons.

You have one pistol, and it looks to be small. I'll shoot you.

You let us walk out or I'll shoot you.

You're being futile and dilatory.

I'm getting annoyed.

I'm in count to three.

If you don't let us go... Count to five.

You'll live longer.

One.

Two.

I heard Johnny.

Stop! Let me go. I'm a doctor. Let me go. No!

This isn't funny anymore. Don't let her die.

You in there, if you... Jimmy, this is Jill.

We have a gunshot wound. I think it's critical. She says she'll let the victim

go if you can guarantee their safe getaway.

FBI says stall. I'm not stalling. We can't lose the dancing bandit. I don't

care. It's a life at stake in there. If you let them all drive away in the

truck. Here's the deal.

Y 'all get out of there except Bay.

She stays.

The whole gang gets away free.

Now that's a good deal.

No. I go free too.

Please.

The sheriff is my husband. I know the procedure.

He can't let you go.

Then the woman dies.

Maybe more. You can save that woman. You can save your whole gang.

She's gonna die.

I'll stay.

My people go.

Everybody go!

Come on! Jack, you and I stay with Laurie. Everybody else in the truck!

We might be able to tail him without more caution.

Too risky.

Let him go. We still got her.

All right, here they go. Here they go.

Before I get the person out, take him to Thayer.

Kenny, Max, keep them covered.

The paramedics are coming in unarmed.

Hurry up. Hurry up. Come on. Let's go.

Let's go.

He's in shock. You got to move. You got to move.

No, when I get the call, when I know my people are safe, then... Look, look, let

them take her now. You've got plenty of hostages.

You can keep us for as long as you want to.

Okay.

All right, I want everybody in the vault.

Now! Come on, come on, move!

In the vault!

Let's go, let's go, let's go!

else. Keep moving.

You're very brave.

What's your name?

Zachary Brunk.

Pleased to meet you.

Be good to your mother.

All right, let's go. Come on, hurry.

Keeping everybody in the vault for one hour.

Let's give our gang enough time to get away.

How much of our gang is still in there?

Just the woman and her interpreter. Maybe we can move in. They have

weapons. Come on, let's go!

Let's go!

Around

the

building. And bring in the heli -team. I want surveillance from the air just in

case. Are we secure?

We're secure. Good.

This woman is not getting away.

We finally got her.

She got away. I know it. She couldn't have gotten away. They're trapped in the

bank. I've read all about this dancing bandit. They're an organized mission

impossible team. Just when you think you got them... She's caught. She's not

caught. They're in the bank.

Jimmy, we call them to play. They're not in the bank.

So they never really got into the vault with you?

No, they stayed out here with the paramedics and the woman. They weren't

paramedics. To say our ambulance was intercepted on Dalton Road, that was a

phony that showed up. Get all the hostages, round them all up.

Most of them have gone to the hospital for trauma checks.

Damn it. What?

Obviously, the bandits switched clothes with the paramedics to escape.

Bay was probably on the stretcher.

Paramedics who showed up must have become the hostages.

We just let him walk right out.

Son of a bitch.

What happened to the woman who got shot?

She didn't really get shot.

That was part of the getaway plan.

I saw her. She was diaphoretic.

Did you actually see... bullet hole well no i didn't but

the symptoms were perfect i'm sure she shot out three videos she saved the

for her friend get me this uh gene levanchi she stole from his account i

know why i'll tell you why cow flatulence who is this man carter pike

chief pathologist We met over the Green Bay chopper. I autopsied the severed

hand, found the syphilis. Nice to see you again. Carter, we're busy. I know

about the dancing bandit. Came down with a fever as a baby. The hospital

wouldn't treat her because her parents didn't have any insurance. The fever

caused her deafness.

That's why she declared war on bureaucracy and government waste. She

because of his farting cow.

Carter. Go with this, man.

No, no, no, no. Hear me out. I went to two years of veterinary school.

I was called out to Gene's farm last year on an emergency, okay? He was

a mare. The stallion became over -engorged and got shot.

I saw the chambers.

What chambers?

The glass -enclosed field chambers built to capture and analyze atmospheric

gases. In this case, cow flatulence.

Not asking who I am now, are you, Inspector?

I've stopped caring.

Cows emit methane when they break wind. They contribute 50 million metric tons

of methane into the atmosphere each year. The government thought it could be

responsible for global warming, so they started hiring farmers and scientists to

test the emissions.

Of cow gas? We spent 19 million dollars on the project.

What? That's it.

$19 million, and Gene LaVanche was on that payroll.

Now, the question is, how's she going to give it back?

What do you mean? When the dancing bandit takes, she always gives back

the same community she steals from. She reallocates federal spending in her own

way. I should be deputized on this. No, come on, Special Agent Pike. Oh, yeah,

I'll think it over. Flood victim.

What? We never qualified as a disaster area, so we lost out on federal relief.

We had 700 families that lost their homes because of the floods.

That's it.

She's bringing public exposure to this ridiculous cow flatulence thing.

And then she's funneling the wasted funds back to the flood victims.

They're on to us. Who invited the nosy little pathologist?

Nick Carter Pike.

He's the medical examiner, quick to autopsy.

We'll launder later.

Send the money by mail to the shelter.

Then we'll have to use a donor.

She's got a network of wealthy people who are willing to pose as

philanthropists. She launders the stolen money through them, then they in turn

write personal checks to give it back to Cherry.

So there must be some way of tracing the transactions.

Well, so far we haven't found it.

These people are very good at what they do.

No.

No. It's too risky, even for us.

No. Here we go.

American Sign Language.

Mrs. Coburn.

Fourth grade, room 10B.

Yep, that's it.

Brock, Zachary, that's the class.

Is that the only class that had the course?

It's all that's showing up.

Yeah, sign language, purchase order request by Mary Coburn.

Request denied.

Shelter for the flood victims does accept anonymous donations. We could

clean cash here by tonight if we can... No, we're going to make a pit stop

first. Oh, no.

Yes. A little myth, I never choose romantic causes, wants to take some time

to visit the sign language students who don't get to take sign language anymore.

Lori.

Please.

What's the cognito? I mean, we didn't bring wardrobe for an elementary school.

We're in luck.

Rome Community Theater.

Utilities are almost nil. It must be dark.

So? So nobody will be there and they have to have costumes in stock. We can

borrow a few and go into the school on some kind of theme.

What was the last production in the theater?

Let's see.

Oh, boy.

Your favorite.

This is nuts. We deserve to get caught. Shut up, Cole.

Just look at my chest.

Tim Smith didn't forget to give me one. He just ripped it out. Excuse me.

What exactly is going on here?

We're off to see the wizard.

Well, I'm in charge here, and I'd like to know what this is about.

You must be Michael Oslo. No, Mr. Oslo is at a conference. I'm the assistant

principal. Oh.

Then you would be Chauncey Smith.

I've heard you're an excellent history teacher.

Well, thank you.

We were hired by a Mary Coburn from 10B.

Evidently, her class is reading The Wizard of Oz, and as a little treat,

bringing us in for a short performance.

I see.

Well, it doesn't sound at all like Mary, but anything to get them to read more,

hmm?

10B is... That way?

Third door to the left.

Turn to page 72.

We'll begin reading from passage.

Good afternoon, students of room 10B. Let me introduce myself.

My name is Dorothy Gale. And I'm here to organize the River City Boys Band.

Wrong musical.

Actually, I've been sent by the National Society for the Deaf to give you, the

children of room 10B, a very...

Special lesson in sign language.

Hold on just a second.

I'm the teacher here, and I don't... You have no power here.

Be gone before somebody drops a house on you.

You're the dancing bandit.

And you're being schooljacked.

Just go along.

First, let me tell you about the beauty of sign language and why you should all

continue to study it. Maybe on your own, if the school won't offer you a course.

And I'm... Ah.

My gorgeous little redhead.

How are you?

So cute.

Didn't we have fun in the bank?

And finally, I'll be showing you a technique to make the learning easier.

We'll be signing the lyric... to a song.

And you'll be so amazed at how fast you'll learn.

And then, of course, I'll dance.

I think we got a problem.

What? Chauncey Smith said four people dressed as Wizard of Oz characters just

entered the school.

The Tin Man had the suit Phil Banks had on when he died.

How can you tell that?

Because of a hole in the chest.

Remember, Jimmy? You cut it open because you thought it was a heart attack.

And he just went to the theater.

It had been broken into.

They stole those costumes.

That's them.

Let's go!

Once in a lullaby Somewhere

over the rainbow Skies are

blue And the dreams that

you dared to dream Really do come true

Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away upon the chimney tops That's where

you'll find me Somewhere

over the rainbow Bluebirds fly

Oh, no. Gumballs.

Lee, I told you. Again? Yes, of course again. I told you. Oh.

Okay, class.

It's been a pleasure. Thank you very much. Our welcome has been officially

overstayed. Yes. Time to find photos.

I

never

got to finish it down.

They got a truck back up to the cafeteria.

I think... Okay, where is it? Uh, northwest side. We got it. You take

All right, move in.

Freeze! FBI!

It's a decoy.

Keep the bullets right out of here. It's on fire.

Where does that quarter come out?

Right over here.

I told you. I said stop. Shut up, Cole.

Freeze, damn it.

Stop right now. Come on.

Come on, get in.

Maurice.

Maurice.

Come on, come on. Freeze.

Here, here, here.

They're going up Prospect. We lost them.

You got her.

You definitely got her.

Give me a knife to cut the cloth.

It's okay. It's okay, Lori.

It's cold.

There's blood everywhere.

Let's go. Let's go. Come on. Where are we going?

Get us to a hospital.

The bullet's still in there. Just hang on.

Help me turn her over. Come on, let's go.

Hang on.

We'll take care of you.

Hang on. Paul, come on.

Hurry.

Are you sure you got her? She could have faked the hit. I got her.

Suspect is wounded. Gunshot to the back.

I want two teams that they are hostile.

Let's hope they care about saving her life.

I can't go to a hospital.

We have to.

She didn't know she was hit. She'll be all over the hospital. I don't care.

There's a doctor's office nearby.

I saw it. We have to go someplace. I can't help her here.

Let's go. Let's go. We're almost there.

Come on.

I'm thrilled that we're out of the woods now. Come on, lady. Get out of here.

Everybody out of here. Hey, what are you doing?

What is it?

No exit.

She's in shock. She's bleeding. You guys get out of here. Go on.

We're not going. No, no, no. The FBI's going to be here any minute. Just get

of here. Have a life. Cole! Get out of here! Get out!

Come on, Jack. Get her out of here. Quick!

They brought her to Jill's. They're in there now.

We're on our way.

I think we're going to go to a hospital.

She's hit an artery. She's not going to make it to the hospital. What's the

pressure? 90 over 60.

Give me a 1 % Zylocaine.

Pack four by four.

Kelly Clamps.

So you're a doctor.

It's a hobby. Scalpel?

Scalpel. You can't... Scalpel. We've got a bleeder, damn it.

Great. FBI.

Get away.

Get out.

This woman is in serious condition and she needs to be stabilized. Get out.

We're staying right here.

I can feel it.

Please, please.

Yes.

Yes, that's it.

I got it.

I got the slug.

I want a 24 -hour guard at the hospital.

Make sure that's a real ambulance outside. You get us right?

Twice. Good.

Feel like making a statement?

Free agency's ruined baseball?

Put him in lockup. We'll send a federal marshal.

You shot her?

She wouldn't stop.

She's wanted by the FBI. She wouldn't stop.

Well, honey, she's gonna be okay.

She's gonna make it.

I'm part Robin Hood myself.

I rob from the rich, then I call it a day.

I'm willing to cut a deal, but I'm not giving anybody up in the gang.

It's just Laurie and me.

I don't like this word, gang.

We need a nicer word for the jury.

How about folks?

The dancing bandit folks.

You're really a good lawyer? The best.

Why don't you tell me about her being deaf? I want to milk that for sympathy.

She wouldn't be a mule too, would she?

She's going to be okay, you know.

Just fine.

I know.

You understand.

She is a criminal.

They say she's a hero.

She does good things for people who need help.

Well, yeah, she does.

But she breaks the law.

So you shot her.

She was trying to escape, Zach.

I am the sheriff.

You shot her in the back.

She didn't even have a gun.

You think I'm crazy?

Don't answer that. It's a trick question.

If the AG goes for 12 years, fine.

But this man is in my custody. I am not letting him have hospital visits.

Then I won't cooperate.

Then don't. We don't need your cooperation.

I have got facts and records of crimes you don't even know were committed. I

put everything into your hands.

Maybe get back a lot of the money that was stolen, even. I am not letting you

out of this cell.

Underarm God.

He just wants to see his little deaf friend with a hole in her back.

What's so important about a hospital visitation, anyway?

She's my wife.

Uh -huh.

It's his little deaf wife.

I give you my word.

I will not try to escape.

Just let me see her.

Excuse me.

The hospital just called.

There's a problem.

Her rate's way up and irregular.

You X -rayed? The heart looks fine. We're hooking up the EKG now. Has she

any coronary problems?

Never.

Hi,

honey. I'm sorry.

It's over, honey.

I'm making a deal with the government.

We're out of the philanthropy business for a while.

I know.

Maybe.

When we get out, we can settle down.

Finally have a real life.

She says she wants a kid just like yours.

I'm not through with him yet.

What?

Nothing. It's okay.

What's wrong?

It could die.

It's an electrical problem with the heart.

It sent her radar out of control.

What causes it?

We don't know that. It can come about very suddenly. It can be brought on by

exertion or stress or... Somebody shooting you.

I'm sorry.

You were just doing your job.

We yelled at her to freeze.

Jimmy didn't want to shoot. We yelled at her. She's deaf.

Her back was to you. She's deaf.

Look, I'm not really interested in vilifying you people.

But if you come in here expecting me to take you off the hook, she's unarmed,

running away, threatening nobody. And you put a bullet in her back.

Now, that may be correct police procedure.

Don't expect me to... I mean, is there anything I can

really say to make you feel okay about this?

No.

Jill Brock's a great doctor.

Your wife will get the best treatment possible. She really will.

Yeah.

Hey, Zach.

Where's your big brother?

Went with kids.

Want me to take you to school? I can drop you off.

No.

Zach? I'm late.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Close that door, turn around, and look at me,

young man.

You're not being fair.

I have a hard job.

Sometimes... You didn't have to shoot her.

I did have to shoot her.

She was an escaping criminal.

It's my job to stop her, and how dare you punish me?

You're being selfish, you know that?

Think for a second how I feel.

I know she's a good person. I know she helps people out. Do you think I slept

last night?

You think I don't feel terrible?

It might be nice if you made me feel better.

Maybe I need your help, Zach.

You're too selfish to think of that. I know you're not too young.

Sorry I shot her, all right?

Go to school.

Nurses who know sign language are really impressive.

Well, we're full service here.

Good hospital.

When I woke up, I realized I wasn't dead.

I was really pleased.

Well, your rate's still way up.

I'm not going to kid you. I'm worried about it.

I'm giving you a drug called digoxin.

If it doesn't work... It will.

You know, um... It was my husband who shot

you.

And I...

How's Zach taking it?

Well, I can't quite understand how his father could shoot you.

Well, bring him in.

I'll speak with him.

Maybe I'll keep him.

Do you know that you are a very inspiring person?

I'll bet that you could help the world without breaking the law.

A little late for a career change.

How did you get started with this?

A friend of mine was dying of AIDS.

So, I broke into a lab to steal some experimental drugs.

Next thing I know, I'm a fugitive.

And your husband?

I don't know.

Not cut out for hospital politics, I guess.

Two years ago...

I was prepping a 19 -year -old for a kidney transplant.

When the chief of staff suddenly tells me I can't operate, the patient's

weren't strong enough.

I don't understand.

Our federal transplant grant was based on a success rate.

If she died, we'd lose too much money.

So you didn't operate?

Nope.

The patient died.

That's what the hell.

Hospital didn't lose a penny.

I hate to be the messenger again, but there are more complications than Jill

wants you at the hospital.

This is completely unconscionable. It's part of the deal. And what are you doing

here? Nobody called you. I'm a lawyer.

I go through life uninvited. This isn't fun and games, Inspector. My wife has a

serious medical condition. She has other doctors. But I know her history. So

give us some space, Mr. Murrell, please, now.

It's rapid atrial tachycardia. It's over 200. The rates come down.

It's still very high.

Yes, with very little effect. I want to try some cardioversion, low energy.

No.

Now, from what you're describing, she could have digitalis toxicity.

Even a low -grade shock could put her in arrest.

I don't know what else to do. If she stays like this, she's at risk for

congestive failure.

Have you heard of a procedure called ablation?

It's a new operation.

They don't have the equipment here, so we have to move you to Chicago.

Oh, it's very complicated.

They take a probe, and they put the probe into your vein, into your groin,

they basically run the probe up into your heart so that they can find the

that's causing the arrhythmia.

Right? Yes, and then they use a kind of radio frequency of about 55 volts to

burn off the damaged tissue.

You're going to burn my heart?

It's risky, but the alternative could be worse.

He says he belongs to you.

I am chief pathologist. If she dies, I want to be ready.

Not authorized.

He discovered flatulent cows, methane, global warming.

Tragic. Now what?

Excellent. Tell this man who I am. Get out. I'm the medical examiner. You're

interfering. Get out. I tried to tell him, Dom, but he wouldn't let me. Yeah,

you get out, too. I represent Henderson Cole. I'm here in official business.

Go. Now.

Inspector, please.

With any luck, I could land a hearing appeared bandit. It would be a big

My only big client was the ex -mayor, and he exploded on me.

Spontaneous human combustion into bits.

Tragic.

I'm sorry my father shot you.

He was just doing his job, Zack.

I'm a criminal.

But you help people.

There's something you should understand.

A lot of people walk around disguised as heroes.

Baseball players, doctors, congressmen, even fathers.

Most of them aren't.

I find it safer to admire the good qualities in people rather

than their hero status.

You'll be less disappointed that way.

I've made a lot of mistakes.

I'm sure your dad has too.

Shooting me?

Wasn't one of them.

You're not mad at him?

No.

You shouldn't be either.

Zach, get out of here. Get out of here.

Give me .5 milligrams to Jackson. Zach.

Zach, will you get out of this room this minute?

Okay.

Okay, heart rate's over 200.

It's okay. It's okay, sweetie.

Lie still. Lie still, honey. It's all right.

It's all right.

Her heart rate's up to 230. She's got to go to Chicago. Chicago?

Why? We don't have the equipment. Chicago General is sending a chopper.

no. We'll take her by ambulance. No, we don't have the time. She's in severe

arrhythmia. I give her two or three hour tops. We have to have the air back.

Two of my men go in the helicopter.

The husband stays here. Secure the landing field now.

She's not going to make it?

I don't know.

Coming through.

You should be monitored for both pulmonary and... Get away, Lambaker. Get

hands off me.

I will not die.

I promise.

And I will keep my promises.

You'll tell Zach?

I'll tell him.

Thank you.

No, you're not going.

Look, part of the deal was that I got the business. You're staying here. You

get on the chopper. Yes, sir. Right.

I told you not to go to the school.

Sort of.

You know, she's right about one thing. It's getting tougher and tougher to tell

who the heroes are.

There you go.

God, I hope she makes it.

You know what epinephrine does.

With a small injection, it can cause horrible arrhythmias. It can make a good

heart look bad. It can even fool an EKG.

Oh, my God.

I gave her the first dose at your office.

Another one here at the hospital last night, and the last big one just now in

the center of the tajax.

We had a needle stashed in the men's room.

We have an excellent team.

Her heart, her heart is normal?

We needed you to call for that ablation procedure. We needed the air vac.

Trouble is, the shopper you called for, it's over there.

The one that just left is ours.

There's two FBI agents on board. About to take up skydiving.

With parachutes. We're nice people.

Your wife is okay?

She'll have her moments.

What the hell is going on? Why is there another chopper?

I have no idea. There must be some mix -up.

All right, Mr. Cole, let's go. Take him into custody and notify... Just let me

say goodbye.

What, you have to say goodbye to everybody?

Never mind, Mr. Morales.

Thanks.

You sacrificed your freedom for her.

I guess that's love.

She'll be back.

She promised.
