mulvaney is about to insert his key in his lock. sonny quickly reaches out and grabs mulvaney's hand, and looks at the key he has extended. he explodes. as mulvaney carefully uses the safe key to unlock the gate. miriam is crying as she unlocks her side. the gate swings open. sonny shoves mulvaney inside and, as he passes miriam, notices her tears. as sonny sprints for the door to the ladies' room. on sonny as he moves to sal, to reassure sal out of some guiltiness about trapping him in this situation. his tone apologetic. almost tender. as sonny and mulvaney move toward the rear of the bank. from down the street come a group of odd-looking men in suits, carrying all kinds of electric junk: the new reporters. they run heavily, sweating martinis and cigarette smoke. they run up to moretti and sheldon, who walk along, trying not to catch an eye. as they all turn to look out through the door. sonny and murphy. sonny eyes murphy, thinks, then begins to frisk murphy. he finds nothing. the hostages moving toward a car to take them home are passing nearby and turn to look at him.
