Recap
Hammer and Doreau are driving to work when they spot a crowd on the sidewalk. They're watching a man preparing to jump, but Hammer takes out his gun and shoots at the man's feet until he goes back into the window. Hammer's down to one bullet and needs to stop at the bank to get some cash. The ATM can't process Hammer's request due to insufficient funds and Doreau convinces him to go inside rather than shoot the ATM. The bank manager, Crandell, is foreclosing on an old woman's home when Hammer and Doreau enter. When Hammer insists the ATM made a mistake, Crandell insists that can't happen but offers to check it out. When the manager makes a joke on his name, Hammer goes after him but Doreau convinces him to act like a civil human being. He relents but they're interrupted when bank robbers Cliff and Lou enter and take everything, even a boy's piggy bank and Doreau's purse with her gun...Read the full recap
