    <scene_description>ROBERT "BOBBY" TRENCH, aka "Bobby T," aka "Bobby B," aka "Bobby Beans," (Late 30s, taciturn) studies a BULLET HOLE in a Victorian marble column. A scar of long ago violence. Behind Bobby, Ferret Nose emerges from the vault. Bobby hides his face as Ferret Nose crosses behind him and exits. MS. YOUNG (early 20s and perky) approaches.</scene_description>

    <scene_description>MARK "STIG" STIGMAN (no aka's, a manic ball of forward leaning energy) sits looking out at the sleepy main drag of Tres Cruces. Specifically at the entrance of the Tres Cruces S & L where Ferret Nose climbs into a car with two other rough characters and drives off. A WAITRESS idles at Stig's table.</scene_description>
    <character>STIG (INTO PHONE)</character>
    <dialogue>I'm ordering you the french toast.</dialogue>
    <character>BOBBY (ON PHONE)</character>
    <dialogue>No, Ma, nothing important.</dialogue>
    <character>STIG (INTO PHONE)</character>
    <dialogue>Our very patient waitress, Maggie -- at least it says Maggie on her name tag -- has poured me four cups of coffee. If I don't order at this point, it's just rude.</dialogue>
    <character>WAITRESS</character>
    <dialogue>I can come back.</dialogue>
    <character>STIG (INTO PHONE)</character>
    <dialogue>I'm making an executive decision. Pancakes.</dialogue>
    <scene_description>OUT THE WINDOW - CAMERA finds Bobby emerging from the bank, striding toward the diner.</scene_description>
    <character>BOBBY (ON PHONE)</character>
    <dialogue>No, no pancakes. I hate pancakes.</dialogue>
    <character>STIG (INTO PHONE)</character>
    <dialogue>What are you a communist?</dialogue>
    <parenthetical>(to the Waitress)</parenthetical>
    <dialogue>I'll have the hash and my friend'll have the pancakes with a fried egg.</dialogue>
    <character>BOBBY (ON PHONE)</character>
    <dialogue>If she brings me eggs and pancakes, I will kick your ass.</dialogue>
    <character>STIG (INTO PHONE)</character>
    <dialogue>You need to eat breakfast. It's the most important meal of the day.</dialogue>
    <scene_description>DOOR CHIMES jingle as Bobby marches in.</scene_description>
    <character>BOBBY</character>
    <dialogue>Ignore everything he's said. If you'll just bring me an O.J., that'd be great.</dialogue>
    <character>STIG</character>
    <dialogue>Bring him coffee and toast too.</dialogue>
    <scene_description>As the waitress retreats, Stig gives her a big wink.</scene_description>
    <character>BOBBY</character>
    <dialogue>Why do you have to do that?</dialogue>
    <character>STIG</character>
    <dialogue>Do what?</dialogue>
    <character>BOBBY</character>
    <dialogue>Wink at the waitress. You hang her up for five minutes then give her a creepy wink like you're gonna ask her to take a ride in your Camaro.</dialogue>
    <character>STIG</character>
    <dialogue>Hey, waitresses like me.</dialogue>
    <character>BOBBY</character>
    <dialogue>Nobody likes you.</dialogue>
    <character>STIG</character>
    <dialogue>I'm a likable guy. I'm a good tipper. So. The bank?</dialogue>
    <character>BOBBY</character>
    <dialogue>The bank.</dialogue>

    <character>BOBBY (V.O. - CONT. FROM PREVIOUS)</character>
    <dialogue>4 tellers, 1 guard. Bulletproof glass, multiple security cameras. The manager's office is between the tellers and the vault so we'll have to hope we catch him on the floor. Beyond that the safe deposit boxes are just sitting there.</dialogue>

    <scene_description>Bobby nods. Stig slaps his hands on the table with glee. DOOR CHIMES. Two SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES enter. Stig and Bobby go silent and tight. Greeting the staff by name, the deputies settle in at the counter and help themselves to the display of jelly donuts. The waitress returns with Bobby's O.J. and coffee for Stig.</scene_description>
    <character>WAITRESS</character>
    <dialogue>I'll be right back with your hash.</dialogue>
    <character>STIG</character>
    <dialogue>Wait. Maggie. Your jelly donuts, are they any good?</dialogue>
    <character>WAITRESS</character>
    <dialogue>Best in three counties.</dialogue>
    <character>STIG</character>
    <dialogue>Put three in a to-go box. Two for me, one for him.</dialogue>
    <character>BOBBY</character>
    <dialogue>Just two.</dialogue>
    <scene_description>Stig flashes three fingers to the waitress as she retreats. A beat. Without preamble, Stig jumps to his feet.</scene_description>
    <character>STIG</character>
    <dialogue>Gotta shake the weasel.</dialogue>
    <scene_description>As Stig vanishes into the back, one of the cops throws a glance Bobby's way. Bobby gives the cop a flat look back. The waitress returns with Stig's hash and the donuts.</scene_description>
    <character>BOBBY</character>
    <dialogue>I apologize for my friend. He was kicked in the head as a child.</dialogue>
    <character>WAITRESS</character>
    <dialogue>Oh, he's not that bad.</dialogue>
    <character>BOBBY</character>
    <dialogue>No. He is.</dialogue>
    <scene_description>Stig returns. Without sitting, he digs out a donut.</scene_description>
    <character>STIG</character>
    <dialogue>Mmm, these are good. We should go.</dialogue>
    <character>BOBBY</character>
    <dialogue>Your food just got here.</dialogue>
    <scene_description>Stig flicks his eyes at the cops.</scene_description>
    <character>BOBBY</character>
    <dialogue>You didn't?</dialogue>
    <character>STIG</character>
    <dialogue>You ever hear the saying "never rob a bank across from a diner with the best donuts in three counties?"</dialogue>
    <scene_description>Bobby stands and tosses cash on the table. Behind the counter SMOKE begins to curl out of the kitchen.</scene_description>
    <character>STIG</character>
    <dialogue>That's all you're gonna leave for a tip?</dialogue>
    <character>BOBBY</character>
    <dialogue>You are a complete lunatic, you know that?</dialogue>
    <character>STIG</character>
    <dialogue>You gotta leave at least 30%. The woman's about to be out of a job.</dialogue>
    <scene_description>The tendrils swell becoming flames as the kitchen is engulfed in a roaring grease fire.</scene_description>

Past a DIRT AIRSTRIP where bales of marijuanas are being loaded onto a piper cub. Up to the MAIN HOUSE where a rowdy barbecue is underway. Half a cow on a spit. Narco corridos on the stereo. No bling, no bimbos in mini skirts. Just hard men eating, drinking and slinging dominos. Bobby and Stig are greeted by RUDY (knife-scarred and wily). Rudy shakes hands with Bobby. Stig, he ignores.</scene_description>
    <character>RUDY</character>
    <dialogue>Papi's down in the stables.</dialogue>
    <character>BOBBY</character>
    <dialogue>Go get something to eat.</dialogue>
    <character>STIG</character>
    <dialogue>I'm not hungry.</dialogue>
    <character>BOBBY</character>
    <dialogue>Stig, you and I are here to do business. Diplomatically. If closing this deal involved shooting the wings off a fly while driving on two wheels through a ring of fire, I'd be the one getting something to eat.</dialogue>
    <character>STIG</character>
    <dialogue>I can be diplomatic.</dialogue>

    <scene_description>Rudy pauses at an antechamber and motions for Bobby to wait. Nearby savage LAUGHTER erupts from a group of MEAN CHARACTERS who are taking turns peeking inside a bowling ball bag. MEAN #1 (OSCAR) holds the bag toward Bobby. Wanna see? Bobby shrugs. Oscar comes over. And with great flare snaps the bag open under Bobby's nose. We see nothing more than a wisp of hair, but the half-flinch in Bobby's expression is enough to tell us there's a human head inside. Oscar and the others CACKLE. Returning, Rudy shoos the toughs and waves Bobby on.</scene_description>

    <dialogue>"I-know-a-guy" Bobby. Quick: an ostrich, a tank of ether, and a '55 Thunderbird.</dialogue>

    <scene_description>Papi finds this game a chuckle. He squishes his fingers into the flesh of the duck and digs out three pellets of buckshot.</scene_description>
    <character>BOBBY</character>
    <dialogue>Not for nothing, but who's the head in the bag?</dialogue>
    <character>PAPI GRECO</character>
    <dialogue>My cousin.</dialogue>
    <character>BOBBY</character>
    <dialogue>Little Toro?</dialogue>
    <character>PAPI GRECO</character>
    <dialogue>Julio caught him skimming. Not that I blame Little Toro. Everybody skims a little cream, it's human nature. But just 'cuz it's human, don't mean you let it go.</dialogue>
    <scene_description>Papi takes a hatchet - THWACK - chops off the duck's head.</scene_description>
    <character>PAPI GRECO</character>

    <scene_description>Bobby pulls a shiny new CHAINSAW from his duffle.</scene_description>

    <scene_description>Setting aside the duck, Papi comes over to examine his new toy. Bobby sets a protective hand on the saw.</scene_description>
    <character>BOBBY</character>
    <dialogue>Where's my present?</dialogue>
    <scene_description>Papi motions to Ferret-Nosed Julio who tosses Bobby a satchel. Inside are 200 blank passports and 400 blank social security cards. Bobby examines them. His expression sours.</scene_description>
    <character>BOBBY</character>
    <dialogue>These are garbage.</dialogue>
    <character>PAPI GRECO</character>

    <character>PAPI GRECO</character>
    <dialogue>You too good for my product?</dialogue>
    <character>BOBBY</character>
    <dialogue>I'm saying anyone who'd take these is stupid, desperate, or looking to put you in jail. Which one you think I am?</dialogue>
    <scene_description>A beat. Papi looks to his boys. Then shrugs/smirks.</scene_description>
    <character>PAPI GRECO</character>
    <dialogue>I told you he wouldn't take 'em.</dialogue>
    <character>BOBBY</character>
    <dialogue>So, what, is that it? I pass your test?</dialogue>
    <character>PAPI GRECO</character>

    <character>STIG</character>
    <dialogue>That's not very sporting. What chance are you giving the chickens?</dialogue>
    <scene_description>The roughnecks trade scornful remarks in Spanish and return to their game. Stig hurls a leg bone at them. They stop. They glare.</scene_description>
    <character>STIG</character>
    <dialogue>If I'm gonna kill a defenseless animal, I'm gonna honor its sacrifice by grilling it up into some tasty barbecue. What I'm not gonna do, is torture it just to prove I'm a crappy shot who can't hit anything further away than his own pecker.</dialogue>
    <scene_description>OVER BY THE STABLES - Rudy walks Bobby back out into the harsh Mexican sunlight. They spot Stig jousting with the roughnecks.</scene_description>

    <dialogue>It's all right. I'm all right.</dialogue>

    <dialogue>If we get caught, it'll be your fault and I'll kill you.</dialogue>

    <dialogue>Sure, whatever, but say we do? And say Papi Greco mangles my corpse, runs it through a sawmill, something like that, would you come after him?</dialogue>

    <dialogue>Nope.</dialogue>

    <dialogue>No ma'am. It's my intent to cooperate with whatever you need. As an American, I know you're just doing your job and sometimes innocent folks like me get caught up in the system.

    <character>BOBBY</character>
    <dialogue>I'm aiming for the left one, but even at this range I might clip both.</dialogue>
    <scene_description>Stig gives. With a shimmy/shake his leg he maneuvers the keys down his pantleg onto his shoe top.</scene_description>
    <character>STIG</character>
    <dialogue>You know, I liked you better when you were I-Know-A-Guy Bobby. That Bobby was a good guy. I trusted that Bobby.</dialogue>

    <scene_description>A beat. O.S. From inside the trunk, Papi Greco thumps and curses. Still neither makes the first move. Across the lawn, Rudy pulls himself up onto one elbow and fires his Uzi. Bullets spray. Stig and Bobby dive. As Bobby returns fire, Stig grabs the keys, jumps in the car, and speeds off. Bobby curses, jumps in the BMW, and chases.</scene_description>

    <scene_description>Bobby speeds down the road, his headlights blaring in Stig's rear view. Sliding up tight, he whacks Stig's bumper. Stig ignores the hit and floors it through traffic. Bobby stays right on him. They bang, they bump, they bash. Bobby pulls alongside Stig and aims his gun out the window at Stig's head. Stig stomps the brakes and swerves/spins across the median, across oncoming traffic, and off down a dirt access road. Bobby throws the BMW into a power slide, gets clipped by oncoming traffic, but keeps right on after Stig. Gravel sprays as Bobby chases Stig away from the highway, away from the lights, down smaller and smaller roads. Stig flips a U-turn and takes off cross-country through the cottonwood. Bobby tracks after him. Deeper and deeper out into nowhere. Amid the dust all Bobby can see is the red of Stig's tail lights. He is driving blind. Trees flash out of blackness. He swerves and dodges. He will not give up the chase. Stig cuts left around a stand of scrub pine. Bobby cuts right. The cars separate, then pivot and charge at each other. It's a game of chicken. Lights rush at lights. They are about to smash head on when -- Both men veer at the last moment. Stig goes nose first into a ditch. Bobby goes head on into a cactus. The two men tumble from their cars. Bobby throws a haymaker at Stig. Stig slips the punch. Both men tumble to the dirt. A beat. There they sit in the dusty glow of their headlights. Gassed. A beat. Stig laughs.</scene_description>

    <dialogue>I'm here because you set me up.</dialogue>
    <character>STIG</character>
    <dialogue>The Admiral taught me duty, honor, loyalty to the chain of command. He may be a two-faced S.O.B. but the values weren't wrong. I went into that bank because I believed we had a debt to the men we'd left behind. And when we get to Corpus I'm going to kill the Admiral because he violated the trust that comes with oak leaves on your cap.</dialogue>
    <character>BOBBY</character>
    <dialogue>You're an idiot.</dialogue>
    <character>STIG</character>
    <dialogue>Of course I'm an idiot. To believe in anything you have to forget that for 50,000 years human beings have been chopping each other's heads off and shoving each other into ovens. We're not nice creatures. But at least I sleep at night.</dialogue>
    <scene_description>Stig tilts his head back, shuts his eyes.</scene_description>
    <character>BOBBY</character>
    <dialogue>You wanna know why I went into that bank? It was the only way to get Papi Greco. And I was going to do whatever it took.</dialogue>
    <character>STIG</character>
    <dialogue>Whatever it takes is a dangerous thing, Bobby. The Admiral's just doing whatever it takes. So are your buddys at the CIA. Me, I'd rather be an idiot.</dialogue>

The coyotes prod one of the laggards on at gun point. Stig takes offense and interposes himself between the laggard and the coyote. The dead-eyed coyote puts his muzzle to Stig's chest. Bobby takes Stig by the arm.</scene_description>

    <scene_description>Bobby and Stig follow the others down to the riverside. Wordlessly the immigrants remove their shoes and carry them up over their heads as they enter the water. Stig and Bobby wade in with the others. The water quickly rises to chest height. The swirling current threatens to knock them off their feet. One of the immigrant men slips, then surfaces with a splash of flailing limbs. He can't swim. The other immigrants hustle out of the river and up the bank, afraid the drowning man's noise will get them all caught. Bobby tosses his shoes at Stig and dives after the drowning man. The man grabs at Bobby's face. Bobby bats away the panicked man's arms and takes him around the neck.</scene_description>
    <character>BOBBY</character>
    <dialogue>Callate. Tranquilo.</dialogue>
    <scene_description>The man calms. Bobby hauls the man over to where he can stand. The man scampers up the bank and disappears. Bobby sloshes ashore. Stig tosses Bobby his shoes.</scene_description>

    <dialogue>What part of "impromptu" do you not register, Seaman? It means you don't tell anyone you're coming.

You chose to burden my Navy with your stupidity.</dialogue>

Summary: Robert "Bobby" Trench and Michael "Stig" Stigman are two criminals working together. Unbeknownst to each other, Bobby is an undercover DEA Special Agent  and Stig is an undercover US Navy SEAL and Petty Officer 1st Class with the United States Navy Office of NavaI Intelligence. They meet drug lord Manny "Papi" Greco at his farm in Mexico, where Papi gives Bobby a packet of cash instead of the cocaine he requested. Upon their return to the U.S., Bobby reports to his superior, Special Agent Jessup, and fellow agent Deb Rees, that he did not get the cocaine they need to convict Papi. Afterwards, Bobby privately tells Rees, his mistress, that he will help Stig rob $3 million from Papi's bank in Tres Cruces, Texas to prosecute Papi for tax evasion. Stig reports to his commanding officer, Lieutenant Commander Harold Quince, who tells him to kill Bobby so they can use the money to fund covert operations. Bobby and Stig are surprised to find over $43 million in the vault, not $3 million. Stig follows orders to betray Bobby and escape with the money. He shoots Bobby in the upper arm rather than killing him, but is surprised to see Bobby's DEA badge and leaves him in the desert. After bringing in the money, Stig is betrayed by Quince, but escapes. Meanwhile a man named Earl aggressively interrogates people associated with the robbery and follows Bobby's trail. Bobby goes to Stig's to find the money, only to have Stig contact him from a sniper post across the street. A hit squad sent by Quince attacks the apartment but Stig helps Bobby escape. Bobby tries to tell Jessup what happened, but Earl and his men are already there. Earl kills Jessup, frames Bobby, and lets him go, agreeing to clear his name if he recovers the $43 million. Bobby and Stig kidnap Papi and clear the air between them before interrogating Papi in Rees' garage. Papi tells them that Earl is a CIA Agent and that the money they stole was the CIA's cut of drug profits Papi and other cartels pay in exchange for using CIA planes to smuggle drugs across the border. When the house is attacked by Quince's team, Bobby, Stig, and Rees escape, as does Papi. The three are captured by Papi's men and taken to his farm. After a beating, the men are given 24 hours to return the money or Rees will die. Bobby infiltrates Quince's office at the Naval Air Station in Corpus Christi, discovering Quince is Rees' boyfriend, and they had planned to steal the money for themselves. Meanwhile, Stig asks Admiral Tuwey, Quince's boss, for help. Tuwey orders Quince's arrest but disavows Stig to protect the Navy's reputation. Both men escape from US Navy Masters-at-Arms officers, but Papi kills Rees because they were unable to return the money in time. Bobby later realizes the money is in a motel room he and Rees had frequented, while Stig returns to Papi's farm for vengeance. Stig is surrounded by Papi's men when both Quince and Earl intervene. Bobby arrives in a car filled with money and blows it up, scattering bills everywhere and leading to a massive shootout. During a standoff, Earl reveals that the CIA has 20 other secret banks, and the loss of the $43 million is only a minor setback. Signaling Stig with a phrase from an earlier conversation, Bobby shoots Quince and Stig shoots Earl. Finally, they kill Papi and escape, but not before Bobby shoots Stig in the leg as payback for being shot earlier. They plan to continue to take down the CIA's secret banks, and Bobby reveals that he stashed some of the stolen money away.
