If you have watched every episode of FBI Files like me,you can't help but notice they use a core group of actors who appear in several reenactments--all the same,love these shows
The finger does NOT go on the trigger until you are going to shoot. There is no such thing as an accidental shooting. It is a negligent discharge. And the person holding the gun is responsible for every bullet that leaves the gun.
See your thoughts. That is why all black Americans are in death roll list since in their history of American. How can person the judge or the major or the King or the president did not approve is military or police schools certificate then go day carry gun weapons for violence for crime. When the police high officers or soldiers high officials did not legalise the gun give him for protection which depends on the secustance.
@@toasteddingus6925 Nice one! Hehehe! When I heard that nickname, my first thought was he probably sold Hollywood his radios and custom-scrambled them :-P

He's voice is modified. He does not sound like that in real life without all the sound adjustments (effects they use) they do. PS. I'm a musician - i know.
Ann Rule, God rest her soul, wrote the definitive work on this case. “ The End of the Dream”, Crime Files Vol. #5. Absolutely a must read. She was at the top of her game.
This is my favorite episode of FBI files. I’ve probably seen the episode 50 times. Both Steve Myers and Mark Biggins have been released from prison now. It’s my dream to interview them both one day.
It is a good one, I've seen it before......... 40 more times + I'll be up around your mark....... I'm not sure I like it that much, though..... If I'm honest, it's been a dream of mine to rob a bank...... I'm getting a bit old for that sort of caper, I still like the idea, though......... it's a victimless crime, after all, so there's no real harm done.......... I'm kidding, nothing too serious, though..... Scaring a few folks is about the size of it + you'll get over that but it's naughty, no getting around that...........
@Si Hammer. Believe in yourself son! Don't let anyone hold you back! If you have a dream you're already half way there mate! Just get yourself a piece, vest, some combat gear & let her rip! I believe in you brother!
I'm just wondering why a bank that had been robbed several times could not make precautionary measures & remain victimized by a lone bank robber. I would never want to patronize such a kind of bank...
@@HobbyOrganist yes, insurance is really it, that’s why they’re so helpful to robbers during the process. Why die for money that will be paid out in 4-6 weeks? They did add dye packs, cameras, etc. but they only help so much, this was in the 90’s.
Had a half a million dollars in stolen loot and they had absolutely no leads. He should've quit while he was ahead, greed and stupidity was his down fall. Common sense would tell anyone sooner or later you gonna get caught or leave clues.
Scott started out as a drug dealer up until 1989 when his main distributor was killed. He actually studied everything prior to committing the robberies.
He had gotten so much used to evading police, so he didn't think there was need to be quick about getting away. They always get comfortable, that's why they end up getting caught
He didn't kill anyone but himself, which makes him a bit more likable. However, any of those bullets he fired at the officers could have killed one of them. If that had happened I don't think we would be rooting for this guy anymore. I know I wouldn't.
Another gripping episode - thanks ! [I noticed that the Afro-American detective at 22:33' played the part of a very violent, crooked cop in another episode. I also recall watching an episode where the guy playing a detective, played a serial killer in separate episode :))]

You should be more concerned with learning how to spell and not sounding like a project dweller. "Cudda" -- what kind of illiterate shit is that. Generation Z is probably the most inept of any generation in the history of the entire world, especially from America.
By watching this specific episode I realised some people just don’t know when to stop this man legit robbed enough banks but thought let me continue greed is one hell of a drug 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Just to add from memory of reading Anne Rule's book - Scurlock was a star chemistry student and could have made a great living but wanted that tree house life instead. Big tipper too (with other people's money). The police lucked out with the robbers mistake of the last robbery being late in the afternoon where the van got stuck in traffic and it starting raining as it often does in Seattle. The oddest final take was the on-going outrage Scurlock's father had for police who he blamed for his son's death. Go figure.
@Rejean Nowlan , his tree house and everything has long been removed and it's private property, so that would be pretty risky. Besides, I'm sure many people have looked around there already. I wouldn't mind exploring though, if I had access to the property.
@Bagsy , no, unfortunately. It was pretty far back into the woods and privately owned, so I was worried about being shot or arrested I suppose. Perhaps, if I knocked on the following property owner's door they would have let me check it out, but I didn't want to invade their privacy so I just dropped it.
@Bagsy , it was definitely one of the most elaborate tree houses I've ever seen though, in person or in photos. Lots of secret paths, ladders and booby traps that he had set up there.
good presentation.i feel the lessons from the Miami shoot out are invaluable.don't reload at the same time and defence can be attack.FBI files is good value.
I grew up about 2 miles from where he was found in the trailer. I was at my mom's for Thanksgiving and heard helicopters and sirens. We knew there was a bank robber on the loose from the day before, must have been on the news. Anyway quite interesting. He also hit my bank branch in the past...
This narrators voice so soothing, can listen to him the whole day :) as for Hollywood what a sad end to a young life , money’s the roots of all evil , he should’ve stopped and live a peaceful, quite life 🙏 but guess that adrenaline rush he wanted to feel each time
Yeah..I agree with you..Scott was a Pisces ♓♓..Pisces people are really hard working so I doubt he could just retire and relax...he should have though.bc he was a very successful bank robber...Killing yourself in the end seemed like he wasted his life and time in the wrong career...btw,,is your profile pic really you? You’re gorgeous! 🦁🦁🥰🥰😊😊☘☘✌✌
@@slayer6936 Yup, nothing better than room clearing with a scoped bolt-action rifle lol. They did the same thing in another episode where they were hunting a guy who killed two game wardens.
I noticed that the glock they showed in his house was a ruger. They need to hire a new prop guy. As far as the trailer goes, would have called in a bull Dozier, raised the blade and ran over that bitch.
They want to be careful but yet they start shooting at the van with back-up weapons; HANDGUNS; come on didn't learn much about being outgunned!! They're lucky their alive and the suspects were lousy shots!! By the way, the finger on the outside of the trigger guard is just plain safe gun-handling, not just cop training!
Funny you point that out. They used the Miami shootout as a training tool to learn from their mistakes yet they pretty much got the same results. Even the lady admitted that "God" protected them from harm.
@Josh Mkensie - Well no shit. I was mocking the acting. Lol, you dumbass. Not sure if you're being sarcastic or not. If you were then I apologize. If not...well, you're not the brightest crayon in the box, are you? lol
More like security cameras, more advanced tracking technology, etc. The cops themselves... eh... I really wouldn't say THEY have gotten better. Just the methods through technology they have access to.
I don’t think he did deserve it I think that he was financially broke and he started stealing money 💰 from banks even though he could have traded money and made money that way
They said he ran through at least 20 Grand a month.. what the hell was he doing with all that money and then a month later he would have to do another job lol.... He had enough money to lay low for about 3 to 5 months...
The fact he had ALL that money & just couldn’t go off the grid . He had to continue. He truly was a greedy man . It wasn’t about money to him , it was the adrenaline rush and the fact he felt unstoppable. I’m not saying what he did was right because it was wrong af . He deserved prison .but too late he decided his fate .
I don't get it, they found all those guns and $1 million in the van but the total take from 4 years of heists amounted to $1.2 million. So either they didn't hardly spend the loot or the last job raked in that much alone. Which doesn't make sense as banks don't have that much cash on any given day?
@@kareeerie3656 Nobody can replace Ann Rule, the queen of crime!! There are some really good crime authors (you may already be aware of) Greg Olson, Catherine Casey, Dianne Fanning, & of course Truman Capote...In Cold Blood. Also check out FBI profilers Robert Kessler and John E Douglas. Also read "Shot on the Heart" by Gary Gilmore's brother, Mikal Gilmore (one of the best)
5:32 who determined the caliber? Sure, 9mm is the most common, but don't say the caliber like it was solely determined from this picture. Hell, it could be a 9mm Glock with a .45 barrel...
I mean I get that there was tear gas and what not along with a lot of stress but they saw the blood first of all so they could probably see the ground, with that said, that trailer is f-ing tiny so I don't understand how you could not see the body which would likely take up around half of the floor. (assuming the trailer on set was based off of the real one)
YES JOHN DOE like the cop hating clown DEATH LARSEN you are working on assumptions ,even the statement " THERES NO BODY " was probably a screenwriter but you 2 wanna be antifa like cop haters need to grow up
Stupidity didn't catch him. This is a watered down version of that final bank robbery. One of his strengths was that he always pulled robberies on bad weather days, which helped delay police response. Anyone who's lived in the Northwest knows that that region is NOTORIOUS for their hurricane like storms around Thanksgiving. On that final day, that held true to form, which was why Scott picked that day. What he didn't count on, was that it wasn't just an ordinary bad weather day. It was a HOLIDAY, which meant bumper to bumper traffic. The van was stuck on an on ramp to I-5 in that traffic jam, with the feds a few cars behind him. The part about them spotting the flashlight moving quickly around the van is true....it was sheer dumb luck of it being holiday traffic, nothing else. He studied bank employees, paid them off, surveilled banks for months before he hit 1. That treehouse? Was featured on the front page of the Seattle paper-at the same time he was robbing banks, and they didn't know it. The guy was a first class risk taker. Donated some of the money to Greenpeace, Amnesty International, etc. He wasn't some high school dropout dope fiend. The son of a preacher, actually.
@@PaulPaid Yes, he did. Even Special Agent Johnson admitted as much, in the book. He said about Scott....that although he was a criminal, he was also a genius. Even till the dayof that final robbery, they didn't have ONE fingerprint, solid eyewitness, identification or snitch. He said Scott had a chance to take him out at point blank range in the trailer-since it was HE, AND NOT the Seattle PD that first tried to open the door to it-and instead Scott chose not to. I've never heard an FBI agent give a criminal so much respect before. And of all the people who had known Scott for years, NO ONE had anything bad to say about him as a person.
This plays out almost like performance art. I bet he wanted to be a famous actor and star in movies and in its own ironic and effed up way he got exactly that
I've always thought that too. Like, this guy should have been called Shirley Temple. Son of Sam should have been Sad Boy ("because our profiler tells us he needs more hugs"). The Hillside Strangler could have been Runny Nose. Nicknames should be humiliating. They shouldn't feed the sociopath's ego. They could use them to knock the guy off-balance.
How is it that easy to rob a bank? I think I'd move to a different city after about the 10th robbery I'd done in one city. It is hard to believe ho got away with it so many times. He got over a million dollars. He should have stopped instead of being so greedy and he would most likely have gotten away with it. He made this look way too easy though. I was just reading about him and today March 5th would have been his 66th birthday. He died at age 41. I guess he gave most of the money away to environmental causes. It may not have been so much greed as it was the thrill of the robbery that had him doing it so often. Before he robbed banks he manufactured and sold crystal meth. He made big money doing that but after nearly being caught in that he decided to quit. After that he decided he'd rob banks. That doesn't make much sense to me but that's the story I read.
Yeah normally bank robberies that succed are long planned and researahed and perfectly executed jobs with no witnesses, leads, or evidence of any kind for investigators and local authorities to use. At night too, but he was able to do a hostage takeover robbery this many times??? Damn. I mean he must have known fbi and police procedure, routes, knowledge, etc for him to be able to do this. Perfectly executed jobs each and every single time. Statue of limitations would have run out on him and he would have been clear with 1M non sequentcial dollars for life. He got greedy
Tf u talking about? Bank and armored truck robberies happen all the time. U make sure dye packs and tracers are out before u leave and make sure u have police radio so u can hear the call go out if they hit hold up alarm. My boy just went away for five banks. His girls mouth got him caught. Go on FBI website you'll see how many serial bank robbers are wanted.
*"Little hand says it's time to rock and roll." - Point Break 1991 .. This dude is a legend =) So glad that no one was hurt which I am sure in my heart that he was very careful not to let it come to that, wish there was a happy ending though ='(*

I believe it is the same voice used in Forensic Files
@@janrieljana Uhuh!
Yeah..I agree with you..Scott was a Pisces ♓♓..Pisces people are really hard working so I doubt he could just retire and relax...he should have though.bc he was a very successful bank robber...Killing yourself in the end seemed like he wasted his life and time in the wrong career...btw,,is your profile pic really you? You’re gorgeous! 🦁🦁🥰🥰😊😊☘☘✌✌
Sad end? He terrorized people, with a gun.
That tree house is dope.
With all that money amassed what drove him was clearly the thrill of it all.
💯
37:30 A cop making the arrest has his gun strapped to the OUTSIDE of his holster by the grip LMAO
Dude watch Sgt. Joe Kinda at the intro! Check out his trigger!!
Check out joe kinda in the introduction..check his weapon out and tell me what you see!! You will not believe it...
@@slayer6936 Yup, nothing better than room clearing with a scoped bolt-action rifle lol. They did the same thing in another episode where they were hunting a guy who killed two game wardens.
I noticed that the glock they showed in his house was a ruger. They need to hire a new prop guy. As far as the trailer goes, would have called in a bull Dozier, raised the blade and ran over that bitch.
In another video, I believe the Ohio shooter one, the FBI raided a home without having magazines in their guns, lol
The narrators voice is so soothing I can put this on and he can help me fall asleep lol
Anthony Call.
They want to be careful but yet they start shooting at the van with back-up weapons; HANDGUNS; come on didn't learn much about being outgunned!! They're lucky their alive and the suspects were lousy shots!! By the way, the finger on the outside of the trigger guard is just plain safe gun-handling, not just cop training!
I wondered why they didn't shoot the tires.......
Funny you point that out. They used the Miami shootout as a training tool to learn from their mistakes yet they pretty much got the same results. Even the lady admitted that "God" protected them from harm.
This programme is a reenactment. We can’t be sure what sort of weapons and what distance/cover the officers had in that shootout.
The mistake with these almost perfect illusionists is, they never know when to stop. They get carried away by greed.
You know i dont think its just greed i think its the thrill of getting away with it

New yawrk affice
41:31 -- "Investigators found a semi-automatic 9MM Glock."
*Shows a Ruger P-85 instead*
🤣🤣
At least it was still a semi. I’m another video they say “the suspect was shooting a .22 revolver” and it was a center fire semi auto 😂
Glad someone else noticed lol
Thank God law enforcement has come a long way in the last 24 years since this happened.
John you are so off the subject I'm about to call you out on it!
More like security cameras, more advanced tracking technology, etc. The cops themselves... eh... I really wouldn't say THEY have gotten better. Just the methods through technology they have access to.
Bank robbing in the days before WiFi . Piece of cake .
I was in high school in Olympia when he was caught. I remember admiring this guy
My sister went to college there...How do you disguise your real name..just curious lmk
Dude stole 600k without any traces to him and still continued to rob? He got what he deserved lol
I don’t think he did deserve it I think that he was financially broke and he started stealing money 💰 from banks even though he could have traded money and made money that way
He got greedy and didn’t want a regular job.
They said he ran through at least 20 Grand a month.. what the hell was he doing with all that money and then a month later he would have to do another job lol.... He had enough money to lay low for about 3 to 5 months...
Exactly but crack is a mfr
He was on drugs running through that money like crazy😂
@@washeedjones307 Hookers and Blow :P
He was an actor and well paid for his acting career !
No, he wasn’t an actor. First his money was drug money.
Then bank robberies.
The fact he had ALL that money & just couldn’t go off the grid . He had to continue. He truly was a greedy man . It wasn’t about money to him , it was the adrenaline rush and the fact he felt unstoppable. I’m not saying what he did was right because it was wrong af . He deserved prison .but too late he decided his fate .
I don't get it, they found all those guns and $1 million in the van but the total take from 4 years of heists amounted to $1.2 million. So either they didn't hardly spend the loot or the last job raked in that much alone. Which doesn't make sense as banks don't have that much cash on any given day?
@@mariagiordano6603 just like she said, it must have been for the thrill. he maybe didn't care to spend money frugally.
true
It’s terrific, as if the real scenario!
Prefer Ann Rule's book about this guy! More in depth. I recommend! It's called, "The End of a Dream".
you just cracked me up real good with that ''The End of a Dream'' quote
@@princealex2268 It's not a quote. It's the name of the book Ann Rule wrote about this story. How does that crack someone up?!?
@@kareeerie3656 i thought you were referring to Hollywood, when u said The End of a Dream, thats what cracked me
@@princealex2268 She named her books aptly! I just need to find another true crime writer. I miss her dearly!
@@kareeerie3656 Nobody can replace Ann Rule, the queen of crime!! There are some really good crime authors (you may already be aware of) Greg Olson, Catherine Casey, Dianne Fanning, & of course Truman Capote...In Cold Blood. Also check out FBI profilers Robert Kessler and John E Douglas. Also read "Shot on the Heart" by Gary Gilmore's brother, Mikal Gilmore (one of the best)
8:30 how do you come to the conclusion that he would use the weapon if needed when he hasn’t used it one yet?
5:32 who determined the caliber? Sure, 9mm is the most common, but don't say the caliber like it was solely determined from this picture. Hell, it could be a 9mm Glock with a .45 barrel...
It was a Ruger.
This series is awesome
There's no body, oh wait we got a body. Keystone cops
I mean I get that there was tear gas and what not along with a lot of stress but they saw the blood first of all so they could probably see the ground, with that said, that trailer is f-ing tiny so I don't understand how you could not see the body which would likely take up around half of the floor. (assuming the trailer on set was based off of the real one)
YES JOHN DOE like the cop hating clown DEATH LARSEN you are working on assumptions ,even the statement
" THERES NO BODY " was probably a screenwriter but you 2 wanna be antifa like cop haters need to grow up
Ky store ..... made up show , no the re enactment of an actual crime .ANTIFA ....... no I said antifa like
Around 16:00 when they are showing pictures of Hollywood... he looks like Matthew McConaughey in a few of them 😂😂😂
GREED GOT HIM CAUGHT AND OF COURSE STUPIDITY!
Stupidity didn't catch him. This is a watered down version of that final bank robbery. One of his strengths was that he always pulled robberies on bad weather days, which helped delay police response. Anyone who's lived in the Northwest knows that that region is NOTORIOUS for their hurricane like storms around Thanksgiving. On that final day, that held true to form, which was why Scott picked that day. What he didn't count on, was that it wasn't just an ordinary bad weather day. It was a HOLIDAY, which meant bumper to bumper traffic. The van was stuck on an on ramp to I-5 in that traffic jam, with the feds a few cars behind him. The part about them spotting the flashlight moving quickly around the van is true....it was sheer dumb luck of it being holiday traffic, nothing else. He studied bank employees, paid them off, surveilled banks for months before he hit 1. That treehouse? Was featured on the front page of the Seattle paper-at the same time he was robbing banks, and they didn't know it. The guy was a first class risk taker. Donated some of the money to Greenpeace, Amnesty International, etc. He wasn't some high school dropout dope fiend. The son of a preacher, actually.
@@gjr.3031 He went out like a Soldier.
@@PaulPaid Yes, he did. Even Special Agent Johnson admitted as much, in the book. He said about Scott....that although he was a criminal, he was also a genius. Even till the dayof that final robbery, they didn't have ONE fingerprint, solid eyewitness, identification or snitch. He said Scott had a chance to take him out at point blank range in the trailer-since it was HE, AND NOT the Seattle PD that first tried to open the door to it-and instead Scott chose not to. I've never heard an FBI agent give a criminal so much respect before. And of all the people who had known Scott for years, NO ONE had anything bad to say about him as a person.
@@gjr.3031 If Only he had been able to keep his real identity secret from that snitching partner.
He robbed over a dozen banks, without being caught, stupidity definitely didn’t catch him
I love these videos my day off relaxing 😎
He should have settle down with all the money he had taken....But greed
We didn’t want to glamorize, but they called him Hollywood??? Uh?
Rob more banks they are too rich
Patrick Reagan he used theatrical makeup when robbing the banks. That is why
Damn damn damn it sin city
This plays out almost like performance art. I bet he wanted to be a famous actor and star in movies and in its own ironic and effed up way he got exactly that
I've always thought that too. Like, this guy should have been called Shirley Temple. Son of Sam should have been Sad Boy ("because our profiler tells us he needs more hugs"). The Hillside Strangler could have been Runny Nose. Nicknames should be humiliating. They shouldn't feed the sociopath's ego. They could use them to knock the guy off-balance.
I love how at the end they just said “fuck it, we don’t have enough budget left,” and gave all the cops Marksman BB guns from the 80’s lmao.
Haha I noticed that too
How is it that easy to rob a bank? I think I'd move to a different city after about the 10th robbery I'd done in one city. It is hard to believe ho got away with it so many times. He got over a million dollars. He should have stopped instead of being so greedy and he would most likely have gotten away with it. He made this look way too easy though.
I was just reading about him and today March 5th would have been his 66th birthday. He died at age 41. I guess he gave most of the money away to environmental causes. It may not have been so much greed as it was the thrill of the robbery that had him doing it so often. Before he robbed banks he manufactured and sold crystal meth. He made big money doing that but after nearly being caught in that he decided to quit. After that he decided he'd rob banks. That doesn't make much sense to me but that's the story I read.
Yeah normally bank robberies that succed are long planned and researahed and perfectly executed jobs with no witnesses, leads, or evidence of any kind for investigators and local authorities to use. At night too, but he was able to do a hostage takeover robbery this many times??? Damn. I mean he must have known fbi and police procedure, routes, knowledge, etc for him to be able to do this. Perfectly executed jobs each and every single time. Statue of limitations would have run out on him and he would have been clear with 1M non sequentcial dollars for life. He got greedy
It's the 90s banks was getting robbed left and right in l.a they were rampant
Ahh the vintage days! Today this would be next to impossible to pull off.
Tf u talking about? Bank and armored truck robberies happen all the time. U make sure dye packs and tracers are out before u leave and make sure u have police radio so u can hear the call go out if they hit hold up alarm. My boy just went away for five banks. His girls mouth got him caught. Go on FBI website you'll see how many serial bank robbers are wanted.
@@aaronscott4984 you're talking as though you're one
@@sahabufonyuy3649 don't ask dont tell buddy
As Aaron stated, bank robberies still occur, and we still get grainy surveillance pictures, too.
Statistically, it's only about a 50% apprehension rate.
“HOLLYWOOD”is named after him.
No.
Plonker.
Hollywood is a mastermind genius
Really like this series, watching them all again😊
RIP Scott... You lived life
He never hurt anyone. That's one positive but he probably at least semi traumatised some people with fear with threats to kill them
He doesn’t have nothing on The Shootist lol 56 bank robberies and got out of prison early b/c of Covid LOL from a release of 2074 down to 2021
@@johnw218 Absolutely true.
Scott was a drug dealer before robbing banks. Yeah, a real hero, right, scumcakes?
Like seriously this series is my pick of FBI files.
23:25 - a car accident almost happens right behind the cop
Not really...
Love the narration.
"Agents found a 9mm Glock" (Camera focuses on Ruger P89 on the coffee table)
Good eye
RIP Jim, thank you for your service to our great nation. 🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸
If Jim wears he badge. He is a gang banger. If this is True, why would you be thanking such a disgrace??
*"Little hand says it's time to rock and roll." - Point Break 1991 .. This dude is a legend =) So glad that no one was hurt which I am sure in my heart that he was very careful not to let it come to that, wish there was a happy ending though ='(*
Totally agree . He was very smart . He could leave the bank robberies profession and start a business ..too bad he didn't stop
Great movie
@@bradmoberly6164 A classic never dies dear 😘, hey is that you and your daughter? she's very beautiful xXx
Firing shots into a van you cant verify has no innocent people in is pretty ridiculous. Lucky no bystanders were in there.
Greed will get you everytime. ⭐️✌🏼
From an outsider view and the crime capital of the world you astonishingly invite crime!!!
Am I the only one thinking why the FBI didn't just shoot the tires out on the van in the first place? Cat and mouse
Noooo, mate, that would kill the thrill! Hell no!
because they are incredibly stupid-- hence the mortality rate in Miami. They just totally screwed up.
I love the narrators voice, reminds me of watching these as a child.
