KENMORE SQUARE SOVEREIGN BANK - EARLY MORNING We are inside a bank in the morning hours, just before it opens. We hear the VOICES of people as they approach. A spear of daylight precedes a woman’s hand. Keys turn in reinforced locks, releasing strongbars. A WOMAN, CLAIRE (30) the bank manager and A MAN, DAVID,(37) the assistant manager, enter, talking casually. The BANDITS move with JARRING SPEED AND VIOLENCE. They wear BLACK JUMPSUITS, hold ASSAULT RIFLES and wear Halloween masks. The FIRST BANDIT, DOUG (35) GRABS CLAIRE by the arm and leads her toward the back. The SECOND, JEM (34) KICKS the coffee tray from David’s hand, staining the wall, then knocks him to the floor with the butt of his AK-47 rifle. Doug leads Claire down the short hall, taking her KEYS and handing her off to GLOANSEY (32) another thief, who pushes both employees to the floor behind the teller cages, and YANKS OFF THEIR SHOES. Doug passes the FOURTH, (DEZ, 28) -- with a RADIO WIRE in his ear GLOANSY Close your eyes. Don’t move. Doug aims his rifle at the David and Claire: DOUG Where’s the vault key? INT. BANK, VAULT DOOR - MOMENTS LATER Doug stands behind Claire while Jem holds Bearns in front of the closed VAULT. DOUG What’s the time lock set for? CLAIRE Nine when the bank opens.
