We're here downtown in front of the city bank of Milwaukee.
And though a short exchange of weapons fired occurred just minutes ago
police and SWAT teams maintain position
as we enter the third hour of this intense stand-off.
Authorities estimate as many as ten hostages are being held inside the bank.
no word as yet on the identity of the suspects or...
Somethings happening.
I think they're opening the door.
Roger are you getting this?
hostage coming ut, stand down, no fire.
Don't shoot, Don't shoot!
No,no,no,no, don't even think about it.
Get the hell back!
So, what's it like?
Being an FBI guy?
well, it's dangerous.
And the secrets we gotta keep...
oh god the secrets.
But mostly it's lonely.
- I so know what you mean. - yeah.
Helena was our head buyer.
She was family, you know?
She said it herself.
Every year at the christmas party.
She said we were the only family she had.
so there were never any signs that she'd do something like this?
No. I still can't believe it, even now.
That night, Helena came back to the store after closing.
Cleaned out all the display casings and the safe.
Edgar, our nightwatchman, he caught her in the act.
He didn't know what to do.
He'd known her for years.
He called me at home.
And thats when she took his gun?
she shot him in the face.
I heard him die through the phone.
Any idea what her motive could've been?
What motive?
It makes no sense.
Why steal all those diamonds, all that jewelry, and then what, just dump it somewhere.
Just hide it and then go home.
She killed herself?
Well the cops said she dropped the hairdryer in the bath and fried herself.
They should know right?
Yeah.
Thanks Frannie, I think thats all I need.
Really? I mean 'cause i've got more.
You know. If you wanted to interview me, sometime in private.
Yeah, I think that's a good idea.
You're a true patriot, you really are.
Why don't you write your number down there for me, that'd be good.
So you never saw the security camera footage yourself then?
The police, they took all the tapes, first thing.
Of course they did.
This is it.
Friggin cops.
- They're just doing their job. - No, they're doing our job.
Only they don't know it, so they suck at it.
Talk to me about this bank.
Milwaukee national trust.
It was hit about a month ago.
Same M.O as the jewelry store?
Yep. Inside job, longtime employee, the "never in a million years" type.
Dude robs the bank, then goes home and supposedly commits suicide.
And this guy, Resnick, he was the security guard on duty?
Yeah.
he was actually beaten unconscious by the teller who heisted the place.
Mr. Resnick.
Ronald Resnick?
FBI, Mr. Resnick.
Let me see the badge.
I already gave my statement to the police.
Listen Ronald, there's some things about your statement we wanted some clarifiaction on.
- You read it? - Sure did.
Come to listen to what I got to say?
That's why we're here.
Come on in.
See none of the cops ever called me back.
Not after I told them what was really going on.
They all thought I was crazy.
First off, Juan Morales never robbed the Milwaukee National Trust, okay.
That I guarantee.
See, me and Juan were friends.
He used to come back to the bank on my night shifts, and we'd play cards.
So you let him into the bank that night? After hours?
The thing I let into the bank, wasn't Juan.
I mean, it had his face, but it wasn't his face.
Every detail was perfect, but too perfect you know?
Like if a doll maker made it, like I was talking to a big Juan doll.
A Juan doll?
Look, this wasn't the only time this happened, okay.
There was this jewelry store too.
And the cops, and you guys I mean you just won't see it.
Both crimes were pulled by the same thing.
And what's that Mr Resnick?
Chinese been working on them for years, and the Russians before that.
Part man, part machine.
Like the terminator.
But the kind that can change itself, make itself look like other people.
- Like the one from T2? - Exactly!
See, so not just a robot, more of a mandroid.
A mandroid?
What makes you so sure about this?
See, I made copies of all the security tapes.
I knew once the cops got them, they'd be buried.
Here.
Now watch.
watch!
Watch him!
See, look, there it is.
You see, he's got the laser eyes.
Cops said it was some kind of reflected light.
Some kind of "camera flare".
Ain't no damn camera flare.
They say I'm a post-trauma case. So what?
Bank goes and fires me, it don't matter.
The mandroid is still out there.
The law won't hunt this thing down, I'll do it myself.
You see this thing
it kills the real person, makes it look like a suicide,
and then it sort of morphs into that person,
cases the job for awhile till it knows the take is fat
and then it finds its opening.
Now these robberies, they're grouped together.
So I figured the mandroid is holed up somewhere in the middle.
Underground maybe, I don't know.
Maybe that's where it recharges it's mandroid batteries.
okay.
I want you to listen very carefully.
'cause I'm about to tell you the god's honest truth, about all of this.
There's no such things as mandroids.
There's nothing evil or inhuman going on out there, it's just people.
Nothing else, you understand?
- The laser eyes... - Just a camera flare.
See, I know you don't wanna believe this
but your friend Juan robbed the bank, and that's it.
Get out of my house!
Now!
Sure. First things first.
Man, that has gotta be the kicker straight up.
When you told that poor son of a bitch that...
what did you say?
"remand" the tapes that he copied.
"classified evidence of an ongoing investigation".
that's messed up.
what are you, pissed at me or something?
Nah, I just think it's a little creepy how good of a fed you are.
I mean, come on, we could've atleast thrown the guy a bone.
He did some pretty good legwork.
Mandroid?
Except for the mandroid part.
I liked him.
He's not that different from you and me. People think we're crazy.
Yeah, except he's not a hunter dean.
He's just a guy who stumbled on to something real.
If he we're to go up against this thing, he'd get torn apart.
Better to stay in the dark and stay alive.
Yeah, I guess.
Shapeshifter.
Just like back at St. Louis.
Same retinal reaction to video.
Eyes flare at the camera.
I hate those freakin things.
You think I don't.
Yeah but one didn't turn into you and framed you for murder.
Look, if the shifter is anything like the thing we killed in Missouri
then Ronald's right.
All right, they like to lair up underground. Preferably the sewer.
All the robberies have been connected so far, right?
- Yeah. - Through the, uh, sewer main layout.
There's one more bank lined up on that same sewer main.
well we haven't had any flags go up in our system yet.
No no, this is an glitch in the overall grid.
Just wanna make sure the branchs monitors are kosher.
Better to be safe then sorry I guess.
That's the plan.
Alrighty. you guys need anything else?
Oh no no no, well be in and out before you know it.
Just a routine check.
okeydokey.
I like him, he says okeydokey.
What if he's the shifter?
Then we follow him home, put a silver bullet through his chest-plate.
Okay, you got any popcorn?
Well, looks like Mr okeydokeys, okeydokey.
Maybe we jumped the gun on this Dean.
We don't even know it's here.
Maybe we should just go back to the sewers and...
and...
Dean, we're supposed to be looking for eyes.
I'm getting there.
- Oh yeah? - Yeah.
Wait a minute.
- Hello freak. - Got him.
Sam.
What?
Hello Ronald.
This is not a robbery.
Everybody on the floor now!
Get down, damn it.
On the floor, on the floor!
In the middle!
On the floor in the middle.
In the middle on the floor.
Hurry up.
Come on!
And you said we shouldn't bring guns.
I didn't know this was gonna happen Dean.
Yeah let me do the talking
I don't think he likes you very much agent Johnson.
Now there's only one way in or out of here and I chained it up.
So nobody's leaving, you understand?
Hey buddy.
Why don't you calm down, just calm down.
what?
You!
Get on the floor, now!
Okay, we're doing that.
Just don't shoot anybody, especially us.
I knew it, as soon as you two left.
You ain't FBI. who are you?
Who are you working for huh?
The Men In Black?
- Your working for the mandroid? - We're not working for the mandroid.
You shut up!
I ain't talking to you, I don't like you.
Fair enough.
Get over there.
Frisk them and make sure they got no weapons. Go!
Now what have we here?
I'm not just gonna walk in here naked.
Get back down.
No,no,no.
We know you don't wanna hurt anybody.
But that's exactly what's gonna happen if you keep waving that cannon around.
Why don't you let these people go?
No! I already told you.
If nobody's gonna stop this thing then I got to do it myself.
We believe you.
That's why we're here.
You don't believe me.
Nobody believes me.
How could they?
Come here.
What?
No.
Your holding the gun boss, you're calling the shots.
I just wanna tell you something.
C'mere.
It's the bank manager.
What?
Why do you think we got these getups? huh?
We've been monitoring the cameras in the back.
We saw the bank manager, we saw his eyes.
- His laser eyes? - Yes.
No, no, no.
Look we're running out of time.
we gotta find him before he changes into someone else.
Like I'm gonna listen to you. You're a damn liar.
I'll shoot you, get down!
Take me.
Take me with you, take me as a hostage.
But we gotta act fast
'cause the longer we just sit here, the more time he has to change.
Look at me man. I believe you.
You're not crazy.
There really is something inside this bank.
All right.
y-you come with me.
But everyone else gets in the vault.
Come on, move.
move, move!
Then you lock it up.
It's okay everyone. just stay cool.
Spin that, spin that there.
Who is that man?
He's my brother.
He is so brave.
Check behind the desk.
What the hell is that?
Oh great.
When it changes form it sheds it's old skin.
So now it could be anybody.
So weird.
It's robot skin is so life like.
Okay, let's get something straight.
It's not a mandroid. It's a shapeshifter.
- Shapeshifter? - Yeah.
It's human, more or less.
Has human drives, in this case it's money.
But it generates it's own skin.
It can shape it to match someone else's features.
You know, taller, shorter.
So it kills someone and then takes their place?
Kills them, doesnt kill them, I don't think it really matters.
W-what are you doing?
Nice.
You remember the old werewolf stories?
Pretty much came from these guys.
Silver's the only thing I've seen that hurts them.
Come on Ronald.
How we doing?
Another day in paradise.
No ones come out yet?
This guy locked himself in.
First thing he did.
All right.
Cut the power.
What are you, nuts?
That's just it.
I'm not nuts.
I mean, I was so scared that I was losing my marbles
but this is real.
I mean I-I was right.
Except for the mandroid thing. Thank you.
Yeah, don't mention it.
Damn it.
No,no,no,no.
What? what is it?
They cut the power.
It's probably their way of saying hi.
- Who? - Cops.
The cops?
You weren't exactly a smooth criminal about this Ron.
I mean, you didn't even secure the security guard.
He probably called them.
Well, I didn't think to..
Hang on, hang on.
Let's just take a breath here for a second.
They probably got us surrounded.
They cut the power to the cameras so there is no way of telling who the shapeshifter is.
It's not looking good ron.
Did you hear that?
Has your brother always been so wonderful?
I mean, staring down that gun?
And the way he played right into that psycho's crazy head,
telling him what he wanted to hear.
I mean...
he's like real hero or something.
Yeah.
Oh my god, you saved us.
Actually I just found a few more.
Come on everybody, lets go.
What are you doing?
Sam, look, Ronald and I need to talk to you.
It shed it's skin again.
We don't know when, could be in the halls, could be in the vault.
Great.
You know Dean, you are wanted by the police.
Yeah.
So even if we do find this damn thing
How the hell are we gonna get out of here?
One problem at a time.
All right, I'm gonna do a sweep of the whole place.
See if I can find any stragglers.
Once we get everyone together,
we gotta play a little game of "find the freak".
So here.
Found another one of these for you.
Now stay here and make sure Ronald doesnt hurt anybody, okay?
Help him manage the situation.
Help him manage?
Are you insane?
Look, I know this isn't going the way we wanted it.
Understatement.
Allright.
But if we invite the cops in right now
Ronald gets arrested, we get arrested, the shifter gets away.
Probably never find it again, okay?
Ron!
Out of the light.
Seriously?
Yeah, ron's game plan was a bad plan.
It was a bit of a crazy plan
but right now crazy is the only game in town, okay?
Hi Ronald.
I'm gonna keep this open, get you folks some fresh air in there, all right?
But no one leaves this vault.
I dont understand, why are you helping him?
You wouldn't believe me if I told you.
Hello?
I think I gotta get out of here.
Sir, I'm very sorry but you're just gonna have to stay put, all right?
What?
What do you mean, demands?
Ron!
Hang up.
I-I'm not a bankrobber.
I got to really get out of here.
Sir, you can't leave.
Kind of a crime fighter I guess.
Ron!
Look...
No I'm acting alone.
Ronald.
The less the cops know the better.
I think this dude is having a heart attack.
Great.
Could be our guy, could be a trick.
Are you just gonna let the man die?
No one's dying in here.
Cover the door.
Can you tell me how many hostages this guy's taken?
One of the people in here could be having heart trouble.
You need to send in a paramedic.
Just stay calm sir, we'll have you folks out of there...
Just send in a paramedic, okay?
Don't try anything else.
Please.
Paramedic?
The guy don't have time for that man.
Listen, I'm sorry okay.
I am. But nobody's getting out.
He's dying right in front of you.
Come on man, you gotta unlock the front door.
We gotta get him out of here.
Both of you stay where you are.
You know what Ronald, he's right.
We gotta get this man outside.
Come on.
Yeah, I'll help you.
Oh I got him, it's cool.
Thanks.
- Thank you. - Sure.
Hey can I talk to you for a second?
You got the gun man.
Whatever.
Stop, come back here.
go, go, go.
Here.
Take care of the guard.
I'm going after the shifter.
Sorry Ron.
You did a real good job tracking this thing. You really did.
Please don't hurt us.
You shouldn't be back here right now.
You're in danger, now go back to the vault.
Now!
This will all be over soon.
Everything's gonna be all right.
Don't shoot don't shoot
No,no,no, back up.
Don't even think about it.
Please don't shoot.
I said get back now.
One of the hostages seems to have taken over the situation.
Excuse me?
We are so screwed.
Yeah?
Slipped it's skin.
What?
Yeah, bastard shifts fast. A lot faster than the one in St. Louis.
God, it's like playing a shell game.
Could be anybody again.
I think most of the employees are in the vault by now.
You search every inch of this place.
I'm gonna go round everybody up.
- Crap. - What?
The feds are here.
Oh crap.
Lieutenant Robards?
Yeah.
Special agent Hendrickson.
Let me guess
you're lead dog now, but you would just love my full cooperation.
I don't give a rats ass what you do.
you can go and get a doughnut and bang your wife for all I care.
what I do need is your SWAT team locked and loaded.
Listen agent.
Something's not right about this.
It's uh....
It's not going down like your usual heist.
That's because it isn't one.
You have no idea what you're dealing with do you?
There's a monster in that bank, Robards.
And I thought you were one of the good guys.
What's your name?
Why would you care?
My name's Dean.
I'm Sherri.
Hi Sherry.
Everything's gonna be all right.
This will all be over soon. Okay?
Yeah?
This is special agent Victor Hendrickson
Yeah, listen I'm not really in a negotiating mood right now.
good, me neither.
It's my job to bring you in, alive is a bonus but not necessary.
whoa, that's kinda harsh for a federal agent don't you think?
Well, you're not the typical suspect are you Dean?
I want you and Sam out here, unarmed.
or we come in.
And yes, I know about Sam too, Bonnie to your Clyde.
Yeah, well that part's true, but how'd you even know we were here?
Go screw yourself, that's how I knew.
It's become my job to know about you dean.
I've been looking for you for weeks now.
I know about the murder in St. Louis.
I know about the houdini act you pulled in Baltimore.
I know about the desecrations and the thefts.
I know about your dad.
You don't know crap about my dad.
Ex-marine.
Raised his kids on the road.
Cheap motels, backwood cabins.
real paramilitary survivalist type.
I just can't get a handle on what type of whacko he was.
White supremist, Timmy Mcveigh, tomato, tomatho.
You got no right talking about my dad like that.
He was a hero.
Yeah, right.
Sure sounds like it.
You have one hour to make a decision, or we come through those doors full automatic.
Scramble your men.
Five minutes, then we go in.
what?
Hendrickson, they've let out one hostage so far.
They've hurt no one as far as we can tell
You don't know these Winchesters.
They're dangerous, smart and expertly trained.
We can't risk the lives of all those people.
Trust me. Dean's a greater risk to them than we are.
This is crazy.
Crazy is in there.
And I just hung up on it.
Damn it.
- Hey. - Hey.
We got a bit of a problem outside.
We got a problem in here.
Sherri.
We're gonna let you go.
What?
Why me?
As a show of good faith to the feds.
Come on.
Ahh, I think. I'd rather stay here, with the others.
I'm afraid I'm gonna have to insist.
I thougth you were letting me go.
Was that communtiy theater or are you just naturally that good?
This is the last time you become anybody, ever.
Oh god.
Dean , wait, wait.
What's the advantage of this plan?
I mean, fainting now wouldn't help it survive.
Huh.
Get her out of here, now.
Don't shoot!
I work here.
Please, get me out of here.
Freeze!
Let me see your hands.
Gross.
Male, african-american, goner.
I'm telling you man.
I just walked her out of the bank.
She must have a twin sister or something.
Sir. my team said it's secure.
They're gone.
You tell your team to tear it apart.
The ducts, the ceilings, everything.
I don't think that's necessary,
Why not?
