Nightshifter

In a jewelry store Sarah is talked to a young woman called Frannie and she comes back with papers and whilst she's talking to her she's wearing her FBI outfit, Dean and Sam are both talking to the Manager and they was also both wearing suits and the Manager says "Helena was our head buyer. She . . . she was family, you know? She said it herself, every year at the Christmas party. She said we were the only family she had." Sam says "So there were never any signs that she'd do something like this?" The Manager says "No. Still can't believe it, even now. That night, Helena came back to the store after closing. Cleaned out all the display cases, and the safe Edgar — our night watchman — he caught her in the act. He didn't know what to do, he'd known her for years, He called me at home." Dean says "And that's when she took his gun?" The Manager says "She shot him in the face. I heard him die. Over the phone." Sam says "Any idea what her motive could have been?" The Manager says "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 and,"

Back with Sarah and Frannie, Sarah says "She killed herself?" Frannie says "Well, the cops said. "She dropped the hair dryer in the bath and fried herself. They should know, right?" Sarah says "Yeah. Well, thanks, Frannie, I think that's all I need." Sarah joined Dean, Sam and the Manager Sam says "So you never saw the security camera footage yourself, then?" The Manager says "No. The police, they took all the tapes, first thing." Sarah says "Yeah, of course they did." The three of them exit the Jewellery store and Sam says "Five -- this is it." Dean says "Friggin' cops." Sarah says "They're just doing their job, Dean." Dean says "No, they're doing our job, only they don't know it, so they suck at it. Talk to me about this bank." They They get out of the car and approach the house and Sam says "Uh, Milwaukee National Trust. It was hit about a month ago." Dean asks "Same M.O. as the jewelry store?" Sam says "Yep, inside job, longtime employee, the never-in-a-million-years type. Dude robs the bank, then goes home and supposedly commits suicide." Dean says "The guy Resnick, he was the security guard on duty?" Sarah says "Yeah. He was actually beaten unconscious by the teller who heisted the place." Dean says "God." Sam says "Yeah." Knocking on the screen door he says "Mr. Resnick? Ronald Resnick?" A bright floodlight turns on, and they shield their eyes and Dean says "Son of a --" A youngish man comes to the door warily and he says "FBI, Mr. Resnick." Ronald through the screen says "Let me see the badge." Sam, Sarah and Dean pull out badges and slap them against the screen door in unison, Ronald squints at them carefully and he says "I already gave my statement to the police." Dean says "Yeah, listen Ronald, um . . . just some things about your statement we wanted to get some clarification on." Ronald says "You read it?" Sarah says "Sure did." Ronald asks "You come to listen to what I've got to say?" Dean says "Well, that's why we're here."

Ronald says "Well. Come on in." Ronald opens the door and leads them through a narrow hallway to a cluttered room; the walls are covered with alien photos and conspiracy theory paraphernalia and he says "None of the cops ever called me back. Not after I told them what was really going on. Uh, they all thought I was crazy. First off, Juan Morales never robbed the Milwaukee National Trust, okay? That, I guarantee. See, we and Juan were friends. He used to come back to the bank on my night shifts, and we'd play cards." Sam says "So you let him into the bank that night, after hours." Ronald says "The thing I let into the bank . . . wasn't Juan. I mean, it had his face, but it wasn't his face. Uh, every detail was perfect, but too perfect, you know, like if a dollmaker made it, like I was talking to a big Juan-doll." Sam says doubtfully "A Juan-doll?" Ronald says "Look. This wasn't the only time this happened. Okay?" Handing Sam a file folder and says "There was this jewelry store, too. And the cops, a--and you guys, you just won't see it!" Sam looks at the folder ; it looks like a Hunter's profile of the jewelry case and says "Both crimes were pulled by the same thing, What's that, Mr. Resnick?" Ronald picks up a copy of a magazine called "Fortean Times" and holds it to his chest. The headline at the bottom reads "BIRTH OF THE CYBERMEN." Ronald says "Chinese Have been working on 'em for years. And the Russians before that. Part men, part machine. Like the Terminator. But the kind that can change itself, make itself look like other people." Dean smirking says "Like the one from T2." Ronald says "Exactly! See, so not just a robot, more of a, a, a, a ... Mandroid." Sarah says "A Mandroid?" Dean says "And what makes you so sure about this, Ronald?" Ronald holds up a finger, smiling a little wildly. He inserts a VHS tape labeled "M.N.T. Camera 4 - Juan" into a player and Ronald says "See, I made copies of all the security tapes. I knew once the cops got them they'd be buried." Dean and Sarah nods their heads and he continues and says "Here." He fast-forwards and says "Now watch. Watch. Watch him, watch, watch! See, look! Th-, th-, there it is!" He pauses the tape and says "You see? He's got the laser eyes."

On the videotape, it shows Juan, facing the camera, with a light-flare in his eyes Sarah, Sam and Dean share a knowing look and Ronald says "Cops said it was some kind of reflected light. Some kind of "camera flare". Okay? 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!" Sam eyes him cautiously as he continues to rant "The Mandroid is, is still out there. The law won't hunt this thing down -- I'll do it myself. You see, this thing, it, it, it kills the real person, makes it look like a suicide, then it sorta, like, morphs into that person. Cases the job for a while until it knows the take is fat, and then it finds its opening. Now, these robberies, they're, they're grouped together." He gesturing towards the map "So I figure the Mandroid is holed up somewhere in the middle, underground, maybe. I dunno, maybe that's where it recharges its, uh, Mandroid batteries." Dean and Sarah both nod impressed where as Sam stares intently; they all stand and Sam says "Okay. I want you to listen very carefully, because I'm about to tell you the God's honest truth about all of this Dean and Sarah both smiling waiting for Sam response and he says "There's no such thing as Mandroids. There's nothing evil or inhuman going on out there. Just people. Nothing else, you understand?" Sarah's smile has faded and Dean is mostly keeping a straight face, but is clearly startled and he starts to say something Ronald says desperate "The laser eyes." Sam says "Just a camera flare, Mr. Resnick. See, I know you don't want to believe this. But your friend Juan robbed the bank and that's it." Ronald says "Get out of my house! Now!" Sam calmly says "Sure. First things first." Both Dean and Sarah frown at Sam in further confusion.

Sarah, Sam and Dean return to their motel room, which has the obligatory Tacky Wall Decorations and they're dressed in ordinary clothing again and Dean says "Man, that has got to be the kicker, straight up. I mean, you tell that poor son of a bitch that -- what did you say, remand the tapes that he copied? Classified evidence of an ongoing investigation? He Laughs and says "That's messed up." Sam sitting down to watch the tape says "What are you, pissed at me or something?" Dean says "Nah, I just think it's a little creepy how good of a Fed you are. I mean, come on, we could have at least thrown the guy a bone. He did some pretty good legwork here." Sam says "Manroid?" Dean says "Except for the Mandroid part. I liked him, He's not that different from you or me or Sarah People think we're crazy." Sam says "Yeah, except he's not a hunter, Dean, He's just a guy who stumbled onto something real and If he were to go up against this thing he'd get torn apart better to stay in the dark, and stay alive." Dean says "Yeah, I guess." Sarah places tracing paper over the map and starts marking it with a red pen as Sam the tape on the flaring eyes and says "Shapeshifter. Just like back in St. Louis. Same retinal reaction to video." Dean says "Eyes flare at the camera. I hate those friggin' things." Sarah says "You think we don't." Dean says "Yeah, well, one didn't turn into you and frame you for murder."Sarah is tracing a pattern on paper of the sewer system and Sam says "Well, look. If this shifter's anything like the one we killed in Missouri ..." Dean says "Then Ronald was right. All right, they like to layer up underground, preferably the sewer. And all the robberies have been connected so far, right?" Sam says "Yeah." Sarah says "With the, uh, sewer main layout. There's one more bank lined up on that same sewer main.

At the bank night time The sign above the door reads: CITY BANK OF MILWAUKEE FINANCIAL SERVICES & INVESTMENT, Inside the bank a security guard leads Sam, Sarah and Dean , now uniformed as Securiserve Guard Service technicians, down the main hall and the guard says "Well, we haven't had any flags go up on our system yet." Dean says "No, this is a glitch in the overall grid. We just want to make sure the branch monitors are kosher." The Guard says "Well, better to be safe than sorry, I guess." Sarah says "That's the plan." In Guardroom, The Guard opens the door to an observation room with several TV screens showing security footage and the Guard asks "All righty. You guys and lady need anything else?" Sarah says "Oh, no, no, we'll be, uh, we'll be in and out before you know it, just a routine check." The Guard says "Okie-dokie." Dean says "I like him. He says "Okie-dokie." Sam asks "What if he's the shifter?" Dean says "Well, then we follow him home, put a silver bullet through his chestplate." They sit down to watch the screens and Dean says "Okay. Well, you got any popcorn?"

still reviewing the screens; the Guard is on one, and his eyes are normal and Dean says "Well, it looks like mister okie-dokie is . . . okie-dokie." Sarah says "Maybe we jumped the gun on this, Dean. I mean, we don't even know it's here." Dean distracted says "Mm-hmm." Sam says "Maybe we should just go back to the sewers and . . and . . ." Dean is zooming one of the cameras in on the ass of an attractive young woman who is bending over, Sarah notices and says "Dean, we're supposed to be looking for eyes." Dean says "I'm getting there." Sarah says "Oh really, or are you two busy checking another girl out whilst your girlfriend is sitting right next to you." Dean was about to say something and then he notices something out the corner of his eye and says "Wait a minute." On another screen, a middle-aged man turns towards the camera; his eyes flare and Dean says "Hello, freak." Sam says "Got him." Sam and Sarah heads for the door, but Dean lingers behind, looking at another screen and says "Sam and Sarah." They both say "What?" They watch as Ronald scurries up to the outer door with a chain and a padlock, chaining the door shut and Dean says "Hello, Ronald." In the main bank hall Ronald runs inside and down the stairs, He has an assault rifle, and he brandishes it and fires once as he gets to the bottom of the stairs and shouts "This is not a robbery! Everybody on the floor now!"

Ronald fires again into the air, and people begin screaming and ducking for cover and he says "Get down, dammit! Come on! On the floor, on the floor! In the middle! On the floor in the middle! In the middle, on the floor, come on! Hurry up, come on!" In the hallway Dean, Sarah and Sam walk down a hallway towards the main hall; a few panicked people brush past them, running the other way and Dean says "And you said we shouldn't bring guns." Sam says "I didn't know this was gonna happen, Dean." Dean says "Just let me do the talking I don't think he likes you very much, Agent Johnson." In the Bank main Hall Ronald holding up a key says "Now, there's only one way in or out of here, and I chained it up. So nobody's leaving, do you understand?" Dean entering says "Hey, buddy. Calm down. Just calm down," Ronald says "What the- You! Get on the floor, now." Dean says "Okay, we're doing that. Just don't shoot anybody, especially us." Ronald says "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? You working for the Mandroid?" Sam says "We're not working for the Mandroid!" Ronald says "You, shut up! I ain't talking to you I don't like you." Dean gives Sam an "I told you so" look and sam says "Fair enough." Ronald to one of the hostages and says "Get on 'em. Frisk them down, make sure they got no weapons on them. Go!" A middle-aged black man goes over to Sam and Dean but doesn't frisk sarah which is understandable and she doesn't have a weapons on her, he finds a knife in Dean's boot and Ronald says "Now what have we here?" Dean on Sam and Sarah's look and he says "I'm not just gonna walk in here naked!" Ronald taking the knife says "Get back there."He drops the knife in the deposit box. It clatters and Dean says "No, no, no, no, no!" winces and says "We know you don't want to hurt anybody. That's exactly what's gonna happen if you keep waving that cannon around, and why don't you let these people go?"

Ronald says "No! I already told you. If nobody's gonna stop this thing, then I've got to do it myself." Sarah says "Hey, we believe you! That's why we're here." Ronald says "You don't believe me. Nobody believes me! How could they?" Dean says "Come here." Ronald says "What? No!" Dean says "You're holding the gun, boss, you're calling the shots. I just want to tell you something. Come here." Ronald approaches cautiously and leans in and Dean says quietly "It's the bank manager." Ronald says "What?" Dean says "Why do you think we've got these getups, huh? We've been monitoring the cameras in the back. We saw the bank manager. We saw his eyes." Ronald says "His laser eyes?" Dean says "Yes. No. No! No, look, we're running out of time, okay? We've got to find him before he changes into someone else." Ronald says "Like I'm gonna listen to you, You're a damn liar." Dean stands cautiously, hands out and Ronald says "I'll shoot you! Get down!" Dean says "Take me. Okay? Take me with you, take me as a hostage but we've gotta act fast. Because 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." Ronald says "All right. You come with me. But everyone else gets in the vault!" Gasps and cries from the other hostages, Outside of the bank a policeman paces outside, then goes around the corner where several police cars are waiting and the policeman says "Come on, move, move!" Back in the Bank in the vault room, Ronald ushers the hostages, including Sarah and Sam, into the vault. Ronald says "Come on, move, move! Move, move!"To dean he says "And you lock it up." Dean starts moving the heavy door shut and he says "It's okay, everyone. Just stay cool." He shrugs at Sam and looks at Sarah Sam swallows unhappily; Dean slams the door shut.

In the vault A young redhead sherry stares after him and asks "Who is that man?" Sarah says "M Boyfriend." Sam says "My Brother." Sherry says "Well Lady you're one lucky girl, he's brave." Sam very nearly rolls his eyes. In the office Ronald precedes Dean, into a series of offices; Dean has removed his uniform jacket to reveal a flannel shirt and says "Check behind the desk." As Dean checks a back room, Ronald falls, yelling Dean comes back out, eyes darting and Ronald is lying on the floor next to a slimy pile of skin. He screams and stands, pointing his gun at it and he says "What the hell is that?" Dean turning the lamp on and sees the pile and says "Oh, great." He pauses and says "When it changes form, it sheds its old skin. So, now it could be anybody." Ronald picking up a piece of skin and smelling it and says "It's so, so weird. Its robot skin is so lifelike." Dean says "Okay, let's get something straight. It's, it's not a Mandroid. It's a shapeshifter." Ronald says "Shapeshifter?" Dean says "Yeah. I mean, it's human, more or less. Has human drives -- and in this case it's money. But it generates its own skin, it can shape it to match someone else's features, you know, taller, shorter, male," Ronald asks "So it, it, it kills someone and then takes their place." Dean says "Kills them, doesn't kill them, I don't think it really matters." Ronald asks Dean "What are you doing?"

Dean picks up a letter opener from the desk and examines it. He sighs in relief and says "Nice." He then says to Ronald "You remember the old werewolf stories? Pretty much came from these guys. Silver's the only thing I've seen that hurts them." Striding out of the door "Come on, Ronald." Ronald grimaces at the skin, then follows Dean grinning. Outside of the bank A helicopter, a S.W.A.T. police vehicle, and the Channel 8 News van join the scene outside. A red car pulls up, and a middle-aged man in a suit and long coat gets out. He goes into the command van, where several other officers are seated around monitors. A uniformed officer is stirring a cup of coffee and the detective says "How we doing?" Office says "Another day in paradise." Detective asked "No one's come out yet?" Officer says "This guy locked himself in. First thing he did." The Detective chuckled and says "All right. Cut the power."

In the Bank Hallway, Ronald is following Dean down a wider hallway, still chuckling and Dean says "What are you, nuts?" Ronald says "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, I was right! Except for the Mandroid thing. Thank you." Dean says "Yeah, don't mention it." Suddenly, the power cuts out; a few emergency lights click on and Dean says "Dammit! No, no, no, no, no, no." Ronald says "What? What is it?" Dean says "They cut the power. Probably their way of saying hi." Ronald asks "Who?" Dean says "The Cops." Ronald says "The Cops?!" Dean stopping says "Well, you weren't exactly a smooth criminal about this, Ron. I mean, you didn't even secure the security guard. He probably called them." Ronald says "Well, I, I didn't, I didn't think t --" Dean says "All right, hang on, hang on, let's just take a breath here for a second, all right? They — they've probably got us surrounded. They've cut the power to the cameras so there's no way of telling who the shapeshifter is." He takes a deep breath and says "It's not looking good, Ron." Ronald flinches at a noise, bringing the rifle up and Dean asks "Did you hear that?"

In the vault, It's now dark in the vault as well, and a few of the hostages are fanning themselves and then the door opens to reveal Dean ; he now has a handgun. Sherry says "Oh my god, you saved us! You saved us!" Dean says "Actually, I just found a few more. Come on, everybody, let's go. Let's go." Sherry stares confused s several more people, including the Guard from earlier, they are herded inside, Sherry asks "What are you doing?" Dean says "Sam and Sarah, look, uh, Ronald and I need to talk to you two, they both leave the vault and Dean shuts the door behind him, shrugging apologetically and then once it's closed Dean says "It's shed its skin again. We don't know when - it could be in the halls, it could be in the vault." Sam says "Great. You know, Dean, you are wanted by the police." Dean says "Yeah." Sarah says "So even if we do find this damn thing -- how the hell are we gonna get out of here?" Dean says "Well, one problem at a time. All right, I'm gonna do a sweep of the whole place, see if we can find any stragglers. Once we get everyone together we've got to play a little game of find-the-freak, so . . . here." He hands Sarah and Sam a silver envelope opener and says "Found another two f these for you. Now stay here, make sure Ronald doesn't hurt anybody, okay? Help him manage the situation." Sam voice rising in outrage and says "Help him manage? Are you insane?" Alerted by Sam's raised voice, Ronald looks over, Dean looks past Sam and Sarah and gives Ronald a grinning thumbs-up and Dean says quietly "Look, I know this isn't going the way we wanted," Sam shouting "Understatement." Dean says "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?" Ronald is peering out the window, in plain view, and Sam gestures at him in exasperation and Dean says "Ron! Out of the light!" Sam says "Seriously?!" Dean says "Yeah, Ron's game plan was a bad plan, I mean, it was a bit of a crazy plan, but right now crazy's the only game in town, okay?" Dean slaps Sam on the shoulder and Sarah and Dean leaves, Sam sighs, leans back, and rolls his eyes at Ronald and he says "Hi Ronald."

In the Hallway Dean and Sarah creeps along the dark hallways with a flashlight, listening for sounds and watching for movement and in the vault The hostages are fanning themselves again, and Sherry looks angry and the Guard begins clutching his chest and breathing hard and Sam says "I'm going to leave this open Give you guys some fresh air, all right? But no one leaves this vault." The phone rings, and Ronald spins around, panicked and Sherry says "I don't understand. Why are you helping him?" Sam says "You wouldn't believe me if I told you." Ronald picks up the phone and says "Hello?" Guard pained says "I think I gotta get out of here!" Sam says "Look, I'm very sorry, but you're just going to have to stay put, all right?" Ronald on the phone says "What? What do you mean, demands?" Sam says to Ronald "Ronald! Hang up!" Ronald says "No, I, I'm not a bank robber, I, I, I --" Guard says "I've got to really get out of here." Sam says "Sir, you can't leave!" Ronald says "-- kind of a crime fighter, I guess." Sam says "Ronald!" The Guard is struggling to the door; several other hostages including a well-built middle-aged Man helps him and Sam says to the hostages and says "Look —" Ronald still on the phone with the police says "No, I'm acting alone." Sam sighs and goes over to the phone, slamming it to hang up and says "Ronald? The less the cops know, the better." Man says "Hey! I think this dude's having a heart attack!" Woman says "Get a doctor!" Sam says "Great. Could be our guy. Could be a trick." Man says "You just going to let the man die?" Sam says "No one's dying in here." He says to Ronald "Cover the door." Sam snatches the phone.

In the hallway Sarah and Dean continues hunting things, In the command center the plainclothes Detective is on the phone with Sam; the officer is in the foreground, listening and says "Can you tell me how many hostages this guy's taken?" In the vault room, Sam says "Look, one of the people could be having heart trouble. You need to send in a paramedic." The Detective says "Just stay calm, we'll have you folks out of there." Sam shouting and says "Just send in a paramedic, okay? And don't try anything else. Please." Man says "Paramedic? We don't have time for that, man!" Ronald says "Listen, I, I, I'm sorry, okay? I am. But nobody's getting out." Man says "He's dying right in front of you." The Guard says "Help!" In the Hallway Dean and Sarah stops and looks up, seeing a ceiling panel askew and he picks up a coat rack and begins poking it, He dislodges it and a naked body falls to the floor. He turns it over; it is the man who has been helping the Guard and his throat was slit. In the Vault room The Man/Shapeshifter is still holding up the Guard, who is panicked and breathing painfully and the shapeshifter says "Come on, man, you've gotta unlock the front door. We've got to get him out of here."

Ronald cocking his rifle says "Both of you stay where you are." Sarah and Dean returns and Dean to Sam, The Shapeshifter watches them warily and Sam going to the vault and says "You know what, Ronald? He's right, we've got to get this man outside. Come on. I've got you." He takes the Guard from the shapeshifter, the shapeshifter says "Yeah, yeah, let me help you." Sam says "Oh, I got him, it's, it's cool. Thanks." Sam and Sarah gets the Guard out of the way; Dean glares at the Shapeshifter and approaches the vault and the Guard says "Thank you. Thank you." Sam and Sarah says "Sure." Guard says "Thank you." Dean walking to the shapeshifter says "Hey, can I talk to you for a second?" The shapeshifter says "You got the gun, man. I mean, whatever." As he gets close enough, he attacks Dean , knocking him to the ground and running into the dark of the hallways and Dean gets up and chases him, Ronald says "Stop! Come back here!" Ronald races after them both, which puts him in the open again. Sam and Sarah sees a laser sight on his back; in slow-motion and silence, Sam shouts at him and says "Get down! Now!" The sniper fires, hitting Ronald squarely in the chest. As he falls, Dean ducks behind a low wall, and Sarah, Sam and Dean both watch in horror,Ronald slumps to his knees, then to the floor and he is dead.

In the Vault room, The hostages run out of the vault as Dean crawls behind another low wall nearer where Ronald fell; Sam and Sarah ducks down beside him, both panting Sam pulls out the key and hands it to Dean and says "Here. Take care of the guard me and Sarah will go after the shifter, they run off Dean crawls over towards Ronald and says "Sorry, Ron. You did a real good job tracking this thing, you really did." He takes the rifle and, looking around furtively, runs off towards the Guard in the hallway Sarah and Sam approach a broom closet and opens it suddenly; it's empty and they hear something behind them and turns, Sherry screams; she and the other hostages have gathered, trying to escape and she says "Please don't hurt us!" Sarah says "You shouldn't be back here right now! You're in danger! Now go back to the vault. Now!" They run back to the vault, Exiting the bank holding the Guard in front of him and the rifle in his other hand, Dean approaches the front door slowly. Outside, several paramedics pull a stretcher out of an ambulance and Dean says "Everything's going to be all right." The Guard says "No, don't shoot! Don't shoot! Please!" Dean says "No, no, no, no, no! Don't even think about it!" The Guard says "Please don't shoot." Dean looking around at the media frenzy outside says "Son of a--." Shouting "I said get back! Now!" In the Command Room the Officer says "One of the hostages. He seems to have taken over the situation." The Detective says "Excuse me." Outside of the bank Dean says "Okay, go, go!" The Guard stumbles out as Dean draws back inside, shutting the door and latching it and muttering to himself "We are so screwed."

Elsewhere Sam and Sarah has found another shed skin. He calls Dean and Dean picking up the cell says "Yeah?" Sam says "Slipped his skin." Dean says "What?" Sam says "Yeah, bastard shifts fast. A lot faster than the one in St. Louis." Dean says "God, it's like playing the shell game, It could be anybody again." Sam says "Yeah, I think most of the employees are out of the vault by now." Dean says "All right, you and Sarah search every inch of this place, I'm gonna go round everybody up." Outside of the Bank A black sedan and several black trucks pull onto the scene, in the commander center Officer says "Crap." Detective asks "What?" The Officer says "The Feds are here." The Detective says "Oh, crap." A mousy, bespectacled man in an FBI jacket enters and stares at them; then a tall, commanding, shaven-headed black man pushes past and he says "Lieutenant Robards." The Detective says "Yeah." The Agent says "Special Agent Henriksen." Robards says "Let me guess. You're lead dog now, but you would just love my full cooperation." Henriksen says "I don't give a rat's ass what you do, you can go get a donut and bang your wife for all I care. What I do need is your S.W.A.T. team locked and loaded." Robards says "Listen, Agent. Something's not right about this. It's, um ... it's not going down like a usual heist." Henriksen says "That's because it isn't one. You have no idea what you're dealing with, do you? There is a monster in that bank, Robards."

In the hallway Sam and Sarah continues hunting things and in the vault room Dean herds the hostages back into the vault and Sherry says "And I thought you were one of the good guys." Dean asks "What's your name?" Sherry says "Why would you care?" Dean says "My name's Dean." Sherry says "I'm Sherry." Dean says "Hi, Sherry. Everything's gonna be all right. This will all be over soon, okay?" Dean shuts the vault door and spins the lock as the landline rings. He sets down his handgun and answers it and says "Yeah?" Henriksen says "This is Special Agent Victor Henriksen." Dean says "Yeah, listen, I'm not really in the negotiating mood right now, so ––" Henriksen interrupts and says "Good. Me neither. It's my job to bring you in. Alive's a bonus but not necessary." Dean was shocked and says "Whoa. Kinda harsh for a Federal Agent, don't you think?" Henriksen says "Well, you're not the typical suspect, are you, Dean?" Dean looks horrified "I want you, Sarah and Sam out here, unarmed. Or we come in. And yes, I know about Sam too Bonnie to your Clyde." Dean says "Yeah, well, that part's true, but how'd you even know we were here?" Henriksen says "Go screw yourself, that's how I knew It's become my job to know about you, Dean and 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." Dean says darkly "Hey, you don't know crap about my dad." Henriksen says "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 supremacist, Timmy McVeigh, to-may-to, to-mah-to." Dean says "You got no right talking about my dad like that. He was a hero." Henriksen says "Yeah. Right. Sure sounds like it. You have one hour to make a decision or we come through those doors full automatic." Dean hears a click as Henriksen hangs up the phone and Dean pounds his forehead in frustration as he hangs up the phone.

Back in the command center, Henriksen says "Scramble your men, five minutes, then we go in." Robards says "What? Henriksen, they've let out one hostage so far. They've hurt no one as far as we can tell." Henriksen says "You don't know these Winchesters and Moore, They're dangerous, smart, and expertly trained." Robards says "We can't risk the lives of all those people" Henriksen says "Trust me, Dean's a greater risk to 'em than we are." Robards says "This is crazy." Henriksen says "Crazy's in there. And I just hung up on it."

In the hallway both Sarah and Sam sees blood on the floor in front of a closet; Sarah opens it quickly, and the half-dressed body of Sherry falls out and her throat is slit and Sam says "Dammit." In the Vault room Sam and Sarah join Dean the vault is still shut and Dean says "Hey. We've got a bit of a problem outside." Sarah says "We got a problem in here." They open the vault; the hostages flinch and look around and Dean says "Sherry? We're gonna let you go." Sherry says "What? Why me?" Dean says "Uh, as a show of good faith to the feds, come on." Sherry says "Uh ... I think I'd, I'd rather stay here, with the others." Dean approaching says "I'm afraid I'm going to have to insist." She looks at them warily; Sam and Sarah are fingering their silver blades, . After a long pause she approaches them. In the hallway Sarah, Sam and Dean push Sherry back to the hallway and she says "I thought you were letting me go." Dean shoves her forward, holding her head and forcing her to look at the body and begins screaming hysterically Dean says "Is that community theater, or are you just naturally that good?" Sam says "This is the last time you become anybody, Ever." Sherry says "No! Oh god! Ohhhh ...." She faints Dean, Sarah and Sam stare at her, baffled, then back at the other body. Dean removes rifle from his shoulder and kneels over dressed!Sherry. He raises the blade with a shrug, but Sarah puts out a hand to stop him and she says "Dean, wait, wait, wait. What's the advantage of this plan? I mean, fainting now wouldn't help it survive."

Dean looking back at the other body says "Huh." Dean kneels over the other body, then looks up, distracted by a noise The body opens its eyes; it is the SHAPESHIFTER. It lashes out and grabs Dean by the throat As he struggles, stabbing at it, Sherry wakes up. She screams again Sam goes over to her, gathering her in his arms and Dean looks over at both of them and says "Get her outta here! Now!" He continues struggling with the shapeshifter Sarah, Sam and Sherry leave Dean struggles with the shapeshifter for a moment, then the shapeshifter knees DEAN in the chin and bolts. Elsewhere , the S.W.A.T. team creeps through broken glass and into the bank Dean ducks around a corner to avoid one, In another hallway, they find Sherry who backs against the wall, terrified and says "Don't shoot! Don't shoot! I work here! I work here. Please ... get me out! Get me out of here ...." Several of them guide her out; two others continue down the hallway. They see Sam and Sarah; who stops and a man says "Freeze! Let me see your hands."

In the boiler room Dean, hunts and he turns gets slammed in the face by the Sherry-shaped Shapeshifter hand; he goes down. In the Hallway Sarah and Sam turns abruptly and takes out the two armored policemen together, Back in the Boiler room Dean recovers, settles into a fighting stance. He swipes at it with the silver blade, and it avoids the attack, retaliating. They tussle; he gets in two good head-butts. He slashes at her again; she grabs his wrist and wrenches it up, and he grasps her forearm; her skin slips off stickily Dean says "Gross." She kicks him hard between the legs, then several times in the face, He grabs her leg and wrenches it back, shoving her against the wall. They struggle like that for a moment before he manages to ram the silver blade into her chest and the shifter scream in pain " Ahhh! Ahhhhh..." She/It groans and Dean lets her/it slide to the floor. He hears a sound and flinches, then turns and kneels in front of her. A uniformed man enters the room with a flashlight and stops only seeing his boots, DEAN looks back, panting.

In the hallway Preceded by several officers, Hendriksen enters the building, gun out. He strides down the main hallway. Officers are going in front of him, looking in rooms, and calling: CLEAR! CLEAR! as they go through the rooms and they find the body of the first MAN and an Officer says "Male, African American. Goner." In the boiler Another officer is kneeling in front of the Shapeshifter's Sherry -shaped body and the cop says to another officer "I'm telling you, man. I just walked her out of the bank, She must have a twin sister or something." In the hallway an Officer comes up to Hendriksen and says "Sir? My team said it's secure. They're gone." Hendriksen says "You tell your team to tear it apart! The ducts, the ceilings, the furnace, everything." The Officer says "I don't think that's necessary." Hendriksen says "Why not?" The Officer takes Hendriksen to a broom closet, where three men are stripped to their underwear and handcuffed back-to-back on the floor.

The following Morning in the parking lot three people in S.W.A.T armor with weapons have exited the bank and are running up stairs on the outside of a building. They exit the stairs and turn into the deck of a parking garage, walking to a car -- the Impala, once inside the impala the three of them take their helmets off to reveal Sarah, Sam and Dean Sam and Dean pull off their masks, panting, and sit in silence for a moment, looking somber and Dean says "We are so screwed." Both Sarah and Sam nodded in agreement and Dean starts the engine and they drive off.
