Escape from the Bank

Vernet, realizing the police are arriving, helps Sophie and Langdon escape in an armored truck. He disguises himself as a driver and bluffs his way past the police roadblock.

Langdon and Sophie manage to overpower him, taking the truck and leaving him behind. They are now alone with the keystone.
