Robbing the Stocks: Heist Story

Woman, male acquaintance, and cop are hired to rob a (place with lots of money and lots of customers). Woman realizes they're being set up for a double-cross, but can't figure out a way for them to get the money without getting caught, but they're trapped into having to go. Somehow she was going to be caught. She wants the money to leave her husband.

She comes up with a plan to go there with her cat, so the gunman can pretend to threaten her cat if she doesn't do what he wants.

They're there, and her husband comes in. Turns out he was the one hired to do something that would get in their way (though neither of them knew it). He sees the cat doing something he'd threatened it over earlier, and points the gun at it. She lunges and knocks him down. He fires but the cat escapes, and she's so angry that she knocks him unconscious or otherwise severely injures him.

He comes to and says that he hasn't told her "what he did for them yet." Something about putting a substance in the coffee vending at a major stock trading firm that will disable the traders, along with a program in the system that will skew which stocks are valuable.

The police come, the would-be robbers are heroes, they send a message to warn the traders about the coffee but still buy the right stocks (Pickles? Something about encouraging healthy, responsible stocks and not evil ones), so when the stock market goes crazy, they end up wealthy anyway.



"Like a fat little iguana"
"I thought that too--except a larger iguana! But I thought you'd mind my saying it."

In the dream, I thought this was a fantastic movie, so maybe it would translate to a good story? Or maybe not.
