The first 200 lines.
ESCAPE PLAN
Luka.
Dam“ .
And Nikolay.
Nikolay is Russian, the other two are Serbs.
Dam“ means Peacemaker.
And the guy takes that very seriously, he's killed
an estimated 50 civilians in the Yugoslavian war.
Prostitution.
It's difficult to catch them.
They can't be charged for sex with a minor or coercion.
Guns.
That's how they met,
when the Russians helped them out in the Balkans.
They still have contacts but don't sell to third parties.
They don't push drugs either.
So, that just leaves us with...
robberies.
Their main source
of income and investment for the rest of their businesses.
The Russian is the boss and in charge of money laundering.
How does he do it?
With a complex network of business,
which I don't feel like explaining. All you need to do is watch his car.
Don't be in such a hurry for promotion.
Kolia Bolkov.
Are you coming in?
Sorry.
Who is Kolia?
Somebody close the door.
No one.
He died of a heart attack a year and a half ago.
Who was he?
A good thief.
We thought they wouldn't need him.
They've invested a lot in their illegal dealings,
especially construction, which has been going well for them.
But they are going back to stealing.
They need to put together a plan...
and a new team. They need a driver who knows the city well,
a meeting place and a target.
But more than anything...
They need to replace this guy.
Do you want a beer?
Yeah.
No.
Did you do this with a remote detonator?
I wanted to blow the wall out,
but someone gave me a dud explosive and I had no choice.
Who are you?
We know nothing about you.
Nobody knows you.
Maybe we don't have the same friends.
Not likely.
Everybody wants to get in with us.
Have you been to prison?
Never.
Are you that good or just lucky?
I like to think it's a bit of both.
Use energy-efficient bulbs...
So, tell me.
If you're so good, what are you doing working with amateurs?
I needed the money and it was risk-free.
Anyway, I'm with professionals now, right?
Are you now?
And what do you know about me?
That if you robbed pharmacies,
you'd use a penknife not a Gerber Applegate.
Army, right?
Peacekeeping Forces.
Where? Africa? The Middle East?
Mostar.
OK, what else?
That's all.
Thanks for the beer.
The Chinaman.
We worked at a jewellers together.
Good bloke. He got eight years...
was out in two.
Gero.
The Veteran?
OK, let's go.
Where?
To a party-
Come on.
I thought Gero was retired.
He is.
We worked together a long time ago.
You're young. You must have something more recent.
I don't know you.
I've got the same problem.
True.
Take care.
What did you say?
I don't know you and you don't trust me.
We could keep this up for days but I have better things to do.
And I assume you do to.
As I said, take care.
Don't turn your back on me.
It's a clean job
with no complications.
We'll be in and out and I'll pay you for your trouble.
What do we have to do?
Drill through a meter of concrete, could you do that?
I could.
Good.
What now?
Now, you have some fun.
Hi.
Hi.
Don't you remember me?
I've been looking for you everywhere.
What do you want?
What do you think?
Do you know what time it is?
I know that men never knock me back.
Never?
Well, get ready to be disappointed, darling.
It's him.
We're outside.
I repeat, we're outside.
OK.
Do you copy, sir?
I've got no signal. Talk to dispatch.
Homicide?
CID.
CID?
May I?
Of course.
He was dragged here by the current.
They're expanding this overflow channel
and he's the explosives expert.
The one in charge of demolition and transporting...
The explosives.
Problem?
Nope.
What about you?
A lot.
Are you referring to any one in particular?
Are you queer?
I ask because I could send you a bloke instead of a woman.
How about you don't send me anything?
Well, you'd be refusing a gift...
And that would be a problem.
Get up.
What the fuck is this?
What you signed up for, a job.
I was expecting a meeting.
And you'll get one...
Inside.
They're splitting up.
We're following the van.
Where are we going?
An office building.
There's a safe in the basement.
Surveillance?
Two security guards.
How do we avoid them?
By not getting out.
You've got to be joking.
Have you got any idea
how much heat and smoke a burning bar produces?
You can't use it inside a container.
Everything you need is there.
Fire proximity entry suits
used for factory fires.
We'll measure the temperature
in and outside the suit.
And if it doesn't work?
We'll open the door.
Where are they?
Inside a container.
What?
Torre Norte.
We'll be there in 20.
Where the hell can I get signal?
Temperature?
60 outside. 30 inside the suit.
30 degrees?
Calm down, everything's fine.
Is anyone there?
Yes, sir.
We're leaving.
Can you repeat that, sir?
We're leaving, I can't arrest anyone for stealing in their own home.
Temperature?
67 outside, 34 inside.
Hang on,
where is the fucking thermometer? In your suit or mine?
In the nick of time.
What's this?
What we said.
A risk-free robbery, a safe... You've done well.
I don't work like this.
Not enough'?
I'm not talking about the money. I want to know what it is I'm doing.
Being welcomed into my house...
and my family.
I'm giving you the opportunity to come with us.
Where?
