Vault

Judge Giannini's sentence climaxes a story of extremes,

the maximum penalty and the longest criminal trial

in Rhode Island history for the second largest robbery in US history.

All of which will be fodder for conversation for some time to come,

as will the question, "Whatever happened to most of the loot?"

Michael Owens, News Watch.

Well, the Bonded Vault situation was a--

more of a safety deposit box type of thing.

And when people put their items in the vault,

they didn't mark them, and there was no way of telling

to whom a particular bag of coins would belong.

These are nice. These are real nice gifts.

Are they silver? Are they silver, AI?

Yes, yes, they are. Silver medallions.

Well, I can't, at this time, disclose their names.

That will come out in evidence--

- Are they local people? - No, they are not local people.

I can tell you the majority of them

come from the southern part of this country.

You ready?

Let's boogie.

- Forgot your mask. - I don't need one. Let's go.

Hold on, hold on. You're really not gonna wear a mask?

There ain't no point in wearing that mask.

When we walk in there and you stick a gun in someone's face,

they piss their pants, they don't remember details.

But I'm hearing about banks out in California, right?

They're startin' to use cameras to monitor the buildings. They are.

They're startin' to do that now.

I just wish... you know?

First of all, this ain't California.

Second, when we walk in there,

all they're thinking is, "Please, God,

I ain't never taken the kids to Niagara Falls."

They ain't gonna remember the shape of your nose

or the color of your fuckin' curly hair.

Okay?

You have a point.

I know I do. That's why I said it.

Wait.

So now I got a mask on and you don't.

Chucky...

I been robbing a long time.

You been robbing a long time.

I ain't never worn a fuckin' mask.

I ain't gonna wear one today.

But if you wanna wear that mask,

please... go right the fuck ahead.

Nah.

Now you can breathe better, you can see all around you.

And when we step out of this car,

you're not some fuckin' lunatic with a ski mask on in broad daylight.

Yeah.

Can we go?

Course we can.

Fuck you waiting for?

Chucky and I met when I was... when I was 15.

Been fuckin' thick as thieves since.

He got in some fuckin' fight.

People got impressed by it.

To be honest, we didn't really know what we were getting into.

- After you, sir. - Thank you, sir.

Stay still! Don't even think about it.

- You hear me? Don't move a fucking inch. - Let's remain calm, please.

No need to take this to a violent place.

No,no,no.

We know all about the safe in the back of this establishment.

We'll open it up, take a peek inside.

Capisce?

This will all be over quick, ladies and germs.

Get this over your head, darlin'.

You, put this on.

- You... - Is that loaded?

- Are you a comedian? - Do what they say, Karyn.

Let's get 'em out.

It's no problem, just as long as he gets that piece out of my face.

I don't need to get killed if this fool gets scared.

Oh, I'm scared?

That's what you're worried about?

You seem jumpy-

Are you happy now?

Sit on the floor.

Oh, my God!

Here, put this pillowcase on.

Jesus.

Be right back.

There she is. Come on. Combination.

You oughta be careful with that attitude of yours, you know.

Anybody ever tell you that?

Walking around like that,

you're gonna mouth off to the wrong person one of these days.

Are you the wrong person?

See, that's exactly what I'm talking about.

Shit like that is provocative to a guy like me in a situation like this.

What kind of situation is this?

This... This is a tense... situation.

- It is? - All right.

Purses and wallets!

Hurry UP-

Give me your purse.

No.

I got exactly enough money in this purse for my bus fare home.

- So what? - So I don't give a shit if you rob

that sweaty old white man's safe and his whole store.

But if you think you can come in here, take all that,

and get my bus fare today,

then you'd better plan on returning to the scene of the crime at 6:00 p.m.

and giving me a ride home, because it is certainly too far to walk in these shoes.

Okay.

- Okay? - Okay_

Time to say good-bye, friends.

I'll see you at 6:00. That's what time you get off, right?

No, thank you. I have a boyfriend.

He ain't invited.

Sorry.

Here's the deal, ladies and germs.

We're gonna walk out that door now while counting to 100.

And while we count, we're gonna have our guns trained

-on the windows of this establish-— -

- - Fuck.

- You shot him? - You shot him?

It's not like I meant to do it.

Fuck that, let's go!

Pasquale. Hey, Pasquale, what are you doing with this bread, huh?

What are you doing with the bread?

Huh?

Let's see what Gerry Ouimette has to say.

Padfinon...

Raymond.

I've earned with the family for... many, many years.

I treat your family like it's my family.

You know I've been loyal to you.

Some say loyalty is all we ever had.

With that I agree.

You and I,

we live by the same code,

one I respect with my life.

Nixon was obsessed with loyalty, you know.

He learned that from us.

Quaker shit-for-brains.

Thought he could cover his ass with a pledge like a fucking Boy Scout.

Fuck Nixon.

I respect you, Raymond.

I respect the family and what you have built.

And after all these many years,

I'm thinkin' maybe it's time...

I got some respect too.

Respect. What kind of respect are you talking about?

Huh?

I wanna be made.

I know I'm not Italian,

but I want you to accept me into your family.

I've been loyal.

I've done...

things.

I want a claim to what I've earned

that cannot be challenged and is understood.

You see this mouse here?

He comes here every day.

I give him some bread.

I trained him, you know.

He thinks we're friends.

His name is Pasquale.

Pasquale.

Do you think Gerry Ouimette is one of us'?

Oh, wow.

Pasquale agrees with you.

He says you're one of us.

But Pasquale is wrong.

You got as much chance of being one of us as this little mouse right here.

You keep pissing and moaning, you're gonna end up just like him.

I'll break your fuckin' back and never blink an eye.

Okay, Frenchman?

May I offer you a ride?

Do you really have a boyfriend?

You know, you really shouldn't be walkin' home in those shoes.

Speaking of shoes...

I came across a purse today that matches 'em perfectly. You wanna see it?

- Wanna go for a ride? - You know, I should call the police

and report your plates, dummy.

Wanna come home and meet my mother?

She's making meatloaf, and she does a really good job with it.

- I'm Deuce. - Yeah, I know that,

because your partner yelled it at you and everyone

during the robbery you committed today,

Deuce.

We gotta stop doing that.

Seriously, though...

my mother's meatloaf is somethin' special.

And if you miss out on it, you're gonna be makin' a really, really big mistake.

You're lucky I'm hungry...

'cause I couldn't buy lunch.

And in all of my years of public life,

I have never obstructed justice...

They don't think he knew.

He knew. He fuckin' knew everything.

...whether or not their president is a crook.

- Well, I'm not a crook. - Who the hell

is even runnin' the government?

Hmm? ls crime even illegal?
