"Clear..." "Clear." "Bad guys win." "Yeah, we sure took out your evil sidekick though." "Well, you still died." "Yeah, and I only came in half speed." "What didn't you have your corner?" "Because he was too busy getting mine." "Huh." "I thought simulation didn't hurt." "That's just your pride." "It was pretty good roundup till then." "Yeah, yeah, could you..." "help me with this?" "I just... you know, chicks and guns." "Come on, I was getting your back, all right?" "Huh." "It's not a football game, Matt." "I don't need you to block for me." "If these drills simulate real world encounters, then you just got us killed." "Oh, okay." "Real world encounters?" "Yeah, real world encounters" "When's the last time you made a tactical assault?" "Better yet, how many times you cleared leather on the line of duty?" " Couple times." " Couple times as in two?" "Oh, right, I get it." "So I'm the princess from Princeton who joined the white-collar FBI, and you're the badass street cop from the mean streets of Simi Valley who's going to teach me about the street and how mean it is." "Yeah, that's about right." "Hold up." "Sorry to interrupt your training, but we're needed upstairs." "Did I miss something good?" "Well, Flannery died protecting Lehman." "Other than that..." "Uh... what's upstairs?" "Task force briefing." "Serial bank robber is starting up a streak up the California coast." "Armed Robbery is putting together a posse." "They want to attach a negotiation team." "I want the whole unit to attend." "Do we have time to change?" "No?" "Okay." "The Bystander Bandit." "That's what we're calling the perp owing to his MO of taking a customer hostage at every bank that he hits and then abducting them to cover his escape." "Okay?" "So, first bank that he hit, here, Santa Cruz, the next was Monterey, but a hundred miles apart." "Cleared about $200 grand at each." "Besides a hunch that he's moving south, bank video is the only lead that we have." "Now I'm going to turn the briefing over to Cheryl Carrera." "She's going to walk you through the footage." " Thanks, Leanne." " Yeah." "Obviously, CNU is joining Armed Robbery's task force because of the hostage component which doubles our risk factor here." "From the video, we've been able to gain some insight as to how our mystery man operates." "We believe he chooses his victims, always female, in the parking lot, probably based on the vehicle since that will be his getaway car." "Watch closely." "This footage was taken at the Monterey bank last Thursday." "He focuses on the woman with the dog." "You, come with me!" "All right..." "Anybody moves and she dies!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "He gets the bank manager to open the vault... while covering everyone else," "Hurry up!" "From here, he drags her to her vehicle, which he then takes to his own." "So far, all the hostages have been released, but it's only a matter of time before one of them gets hurt." "Thank you." "We expect that he will strike next somewhere in this hundred-mile zone." "The new command center will be out of Santa Barbara." "Please refer to your task force packets for details." "We mobilize immediately." "Thank you." "Lady could've used someone getting her back." "Maybe you should give her a call." " Three down." " Three to go." "You're a genius, baby." "CNU?" "Welcome to Santa Barbara." "Third bank?" "Cambria." "Total take is $600,000." "Now he's definitely moving south." "The new zone extends from this command post down to L.A." " Uh, how many banks in the zone?" " Seven hundred and twelve." "That includes gas stations, ATMs, though, right?" "Yeah, we're working on narrowing the targets." "Thank you, thank you, Tim." "Yeah, I have to brief the county sheriff's office." "We're going to use as much local law and state manpower as we possibly can to cover our bases." "Transcripts of the hostages' statements are in there for your review." " Thanks." " Yeah." "Okay." "Uh, 204." "View of the parking lot." "Wait." "Wait, wait, wait, where you going?" " To my room." " Huh?" "Emily, come on, there's..." "Everybody knows about us already." "Yeah, exactly why I requested a separate room." "Is that a problem?" "Well, for the taxpayers, yeah." "Come on, yo really going to punish me for trying to protect you?" "Oh, come on, don't be ridiculous." "What, you want to clear the room for me first?" "What, no?" ""Lady face down," he said." ""Face down. "" "And so I did, and he ran across these people's lawn till, like, the other side of the block." "That's probably where his vehicle was." "Um, are you sure you'll be okay staying here?" "My parents are flying me back home." "Just for a little while." "Don't worry, we're going to catch him." "Yeah?" "Guy asked 14 questions, six less than last time, ten aimed at my breasts." "Baby, I am so good at this." "All right, well, quit kissing your own ass and get it up here." "I hate sleeping in the bed without you." "Me, too, but we can't risk being seen together, baby." "You don't them to get onto us." "They ain't getting onto us, Kari." "They'd have to be smarter than you." "They don't make cops that smart." "FBI." "Official follow-up." "Don't mind us." "It's okay." "They're reenacting the robbery on Friday." "I think he grabbed her harder than that." "Yeah?" "Play your cards right." "There's camera's everywhere." "That obviously doesn't bother him." "Well, maybe he wanted to be seen." "Or maybe he needed an ego boost." "All right, pulls her out of line, right?" "Drags her this way." "So he can't select the hostage for vehicle alone." "It's got to be somebody he feels comfortable he can control." "Well, then maybe I'm not the best model." "He has needs for practical structural." "Uh, vault can be covered from the main door." "Has to be, otherwise..." "Otherwise the customers will bolt when he's inside." "Right." "Doors got straight out to the parking lot." "There's no security lobby." "Freeway entrance less than a mile away." "Son of a bitch." "You remember reading about a pattern based on structure type?" "No." "Yeah, look at this." "Okay, it's not identical, but it's the same key features." "Okay, Lea, we have a couple new variables to narrow the search." "I need structural layouts for all the targets in the current zone." "Kari, come on, don't keep Papa waiting." "Sam, I don't think wve time." "We have to plan for tomorrow." "We've been planning for six months." "Which is about how long you've been in the john." "Thought we weren't supposed to touch the money till we got to the boat." "So don't touch the money." "How'd you do that?" "What, is that body glue?" "I love working with you, baby." "I love working with you, too." "Flannery." "Hey, did you finish looking at the revised list?" "Yeah." "Uh, Bank of the Coast in Carpenteria looks pretty good to me." "Central, so wherever he hits, we can get there quick." "Great minds think alike." "I already asked Benson if we could sit in on that one." "Surprised she hasn't split us up." "Canvas is stretched pretty thin." "I hear they're using park ranger on some of these." "Well, that's just until they bring more Bureau in." "I mean, look on the bright side we narrowed down 700 potential targets to 49." " I think we did pretty good." " Yeah, is this a booty call?" "Possibly." "The banks don't open till 9:00 am." "I should get some shut-eye, then." "We can both say we're sorry on the count of three." " Yeah, or what?" " Or we don't." "But you're going to let me in anyway." "I don't know, the separate room's kind of working for me." "Ah, damn it." "Mmm... remember our first kiss?" "Yeah, do you?" "We were talking just like this." " Yeah." " Field assignment just like this." "I remember when kissed..." "So we're clear." "This doesn't change what I said before." "Which part?" "I can take care of myself, okay." "If you say so." " Hey, Gabby." " Hey, Sara." "Haven't seen you in a few weeks." "Tought the little one came early." "Any day now." "All right, everybody down!" "Down, down!" "Anybody moves and she die!" "You, use your head, get down." "Down." "26 Adam, I have a bystander alert." "I repeat, bystander alert, 211 in progress, somebody needs assistance." "Mission Bank, 12th and Main." " That bank's on my top ten choice." " Whatever you say." "Police!" "..." "Drop your wea" "Keep him out of here!" "Everybody back down!" "Back down!" "Shut up!" " No primary?" " Not yet, you're up." "Let me just secure the perimeter frame." " We got a cop killer in there." " Yeah, I understand that, Sheriff." "The FBI's in command now, we need to get your man of position" "You, come here, get up, get up." "If anybody put up their head I'm going to put it back down with a bullet." "You, come here!" "So, how the hell they get here so fast?" "They'd have to have some help, they knew we'd be here." "But, you said youfthere's too many banks to cover." "Well, I was wrong." "Hello to the man with a gun." "My name is Matt, I'm with the FBI." "We don't know what's going on out here, but we'd really like to find out." "I don't want to bark in this bullhorn, so pick up the phone," "Really like to talk to you so no one else gets hurt." " It's over." "It's over." " No, it's not over." "Look at me." " We'll make it out." " How?" "How are we going to get out of here now?" "No, he's talking to a men outside with the gun." "They don't know about us." "You're going to walk out of here as a hostage." "All right, they're going to take you out of the line of fire." "They're going to want to talk to you." "They'll want to know what's going on inside." "Hey, you, back down!" "Down, don't look at me!" "Ths probably only going to be one officer." "All right?" "So you-yo faike you have labor pains, he goes to make the call, you go for his gun." "No, I can't do that." "I can't grab someone's gun." "Car..." "They'll shoot me." "The plan was, no one got hurt." "If you don't do this, we're goto start using those people as body shields, 'cause I'm not going down." "You got a better idea, then now's the time for it." "I don't want to kill anybody else, but I will if I have to." "Yeah, I believe you don't want to." "I'd believe you a lot more if'd t custome tought now." "All right, you stay right are." "I'll let out right now, but only two." "That's a great start." "That's a smart move for you, too." "That's two less people you have to about triying control." "Two coming out." "Don't, don't shoot." "Keep wal forward with your hands in the air." "Sir, go to your left." "go to your I sir." "Ma'am, walk to your right." "Keep coming." "Hey, drop the purse." "I think I'm in ***" "I feel something." " Matt" " Yeah, I heard." "What do you want to do?" "All righ I'm go to you to the bathroom." "It's everything be okay." "All right the ambulance is on way." "Just keep breathing." "Hold on, ok?" "You're ok?" "Sorry, **** that." "Oh, that's all right." "I signup for this part." "I need to ask you a couple of questions." "*****" "I guess." "How many people are inside the bank?" "****" "Also I nedd you tell me were all located." " Gabby?" " Don't move!" "Raise your hands." "Guess you signed up for this part, too." "Get out your cell phone." "I said, get out your cell phone." "Touch your gun, I put this trigger." "We can stay out here all day, man; it's up to you." "Hang on a second." "I'm on the other line with him." "The hostage is in on it." "We're in the bathroom." "She has a gun on me." "If you tell anyone, if anyone finds out, she's saying that she will shoot." "I understand." "Her partner will respond to the phrase "blue skies. "" "She wants him and a car outside this door in five minutes." "Drop it in the sink." "So I'm thinking it's a great day for a bank robber to give himself up." "Clear blue skies, what do you think?" "I'm watching you." "If you try to warn your buddies, I'll see it." "Yeah, I hear you." "Don't hang up." "Okay." "I got an agreement to surrender, but it's on one condition:" "He wants me to walk him out." "I'm the only one he trusts." "You become best friends with these guys?" "That's how it works?" "Yeah, that's how it works." "I'm taking him under federal custody, I need your boys to stand down." "I'm going to transport him to the command post in my car." " All right." " You got it." " There is a way out of this." " Shut up." "You didn't hold the gun in any of the other robberies." "They're going to take that into account when they bring charges against you." "People make mistakes." "Don't even think about it." "Nobody gets hurt." "Stay cool, nobody will." "That's right, you dumb son of a bitch!" " All right, okay." "We got you," " All right, hey, back off!" "Why don't you let us take him in?" "Thanks, Matt." "You can go in there and take your partner, but you can't take mine." "If you try, I'll shoot you both dead right here." "This is not a negotiation." "You got about 20 seconds before the locals figure something out." "All right, out the door." "Put your hands down all the way." "Slowly." "Get in the car." " It's the Volvo." " Pregnant lady was an accomplice." "Had a gun to my partner." "Hey, Lea, yeah, we need to be into the Mustang's GPS tracker." "Lea, where's my car?" "To you right, next intersection." "All right, we need to pull up the tapes from the previous robberies." "The hostages are all going to be the same girl." "I'm on it." "Get ready to hang a left." "Round the curve." "Keep going south till you hit the coast." "Looks like they've been stopped there for a little while." "All right the M.O. is to ditch the getaway car, pick up their own." "Well, good, then I can get my own..." "Oh, no." "Oh, no." "They can replace the interior." " You were there half hour early, right?" " I cased it like I always do." "And not one sign of a cop?" "I know what they look like." "What about the scanner?" "You didn't forget that, did you?" "Are you saying that I did something wrong?" "I didn't say that." "Look, we got 600 grand so far." "Let's just keep rolling in Ventura." "No." "They'll be looking for a couple." "We have to stick to the plan now." "It's crucial." "I'll take the train and meet you there." " Kari!" " I'll meet you there!" "I thought the scene was contained." "The bank was." "And the H.T. isolated?" "Only one of them." "But contact had been established." "Why didn't you continue negotiating?" "Are you saying I screwed up?" "You allowed outside factors to cloud your judgment." "Outside factors, as in...?" "Do you need me to spell it out for you?" "He would have done the same with any partner." "No." "No, he would have established a second perimeter, and begun negotiations with the new H.T." "And if you were too emotionally involved, you would have asked for another negotiator, and u would have suggested it." "You both would have followed procedure." "We did." "Outside factors didn't impact anything." "Emily almost got shot, your car gets torched, and the bad guys got away." "I define that as impact." "Temple and Binder are taking your place on the task force." "If you want to continue working on this case, do it from here." " Cheryl's right." " Huh?" "You would have reacted differently if that woman had a gun at Frank's head or Duff..." "Oh, now you're going to be mad at me?" "No." "You shouldn't have been in that position." " I should have caught it." "I..." " No." "You did everything by the book." "These guys got the jump on us." "Okay." "You want to know the truth?" "The truth is, as soon as I heard your voice on that phone," "I couldn't think straight, I couldn't see straight." "I just had to get you out of there." "I would have done the same thing." "Well, forget about us." "You're the best partner that I ever had, and I'm not going to give that up over some second rate Bonnie and Clyde." "Let's go nail these guys, you and me." " Deal?" " Deal." "All right." "Oh, good, the sketches are in." "We'll call you guys from the command post." "Let you know how it goes." "Good luck." "Body padding, four different wigs." "Yeah, and every disguise has a stolen identity to go with it." "Apartments, cars, the whole thing." "The I.D.s have to be connected somehow." " Working on it." " What's the connection between them?" "We think they're a couple." "Like you guys?" "Wonder if any of the customers knew." "No, they can't take that chance." "No, she had to get to know the employees, make them believe she was a local." "I mean, that had to take months of work." "During which time, they've got to keep their relationship a secret." "Like you guys... did once." "Yeah, it's a heist wrapped up in a long con." "She sets them up, she knocks them down, she misdirects the cops." "They spend tons of time apart so that she can blend in." "And when they are together, they can't go over to her place." "So they go to a motel." "Like..." "So fax these to local motels." "You should try the skirt." "Just the skirt." "Come on, come on." "I think we should skip tomorrow." "I'm gonna be out 200 grand, but I can live with that." "And we'll set Oceanside." "We should skip that, too." "Are you kidding?" "Then we're stuck with the 600." "That's half of what we worked for." "I was thinking about it on the train." "The FBI is in this now." "FBI." "They're cops with windbreakers." "No, they're not, Sam." "They've probably got teams of people on us." "It's the only way they could have been at that bank." "And now they know how we do it." "Think." "We've robbed four banks, and you shot a deputy." "We had a plan, we're gonna stick to it." "Oh, we had a plan." "If I hn't put all this ther, you'd still be robng liquor in East Oakland." "And where would yo?" "Where would you be?" "You'd be sitting at a desk pushing papers around." "But you came along for the ride, honey, and the second that it got real, you got scared." "This is very real to me." "I try save our lives, and you play cops and robbers." "This is my life." "This is our life." "And we're not doing it your way anymore." "From now on, I call the shots, so think about that." "You think about that." "Look, look, look, look." "Nothing bad's gonna happen." "I'm going to protect you." "Are we good?" "We're good." "Anything?" "We get the one motel in America with an O.C.D. housekeeping staff." "Well, maybe there's an area they haven't cleaned." "All right, she's out setting things up." "He's here by himself." "How does a guy pass the time in a motel room?" "I'm not touching that one." "Dust the remote." "Samuel Lincoln Ellis, armed robbery, assault." "All in the Oakland area." "He was 18 when he did a five-year tour at Bakersfield." "There's no way he planned these jobs." "This guy's a thug." "Look at the sheet- it's all smash and grab." "No finesse." "Then who the hell is she?" "Forensics did find another print, but nothing turned up in CGIS." "Well, I guess you got to forward this on to Benson up at the command center." "Yeah, I'm sure they'll include us in the arrest report and give us a nice tag at the bottom." "There's a call for you." "Came through on the main line." "Woman's asking for a negotiator named Emily, says she's your pregnant friend." " Oh, that's her." " Run a trace." " Patch her through." "This is Emily." "You said there might be a way out of this." "Well, that's trickier now." "I'm scared, Emily." "I'm really scared." "Yeah, I would be scared, too." "Sam Ellis is a scary guy." "We know a lot about him, but you're still a bit of a mystery." " Should I call you Gaby?" " No, I'm not..." "You have to understand, I never wanted this." "People weren't supposed to get hurt." "Okay, here's the way out." "You turn Sam in, and we'll talk to the prosecutors." "He's planning another job." " Where?" " Oceanside." "Market Security Bank." "He's not going to use me." "He says I'm a liability." "He's going to take for real." "Please." "Okay." "Uh, just-just calm down, and keep playing along, and we'll get there as soon as we can." "Oh, my God." "I have to go." "Think she bought it?" "Well, then we're going to Mexico, baby." " Task force?" " Staking out Oceanside." "It's a wild-goose chase." "I mean, she's a good actress." "She's not that good." "Tough break for Temple and Binder." " How we doing?" " You were right about the stolen identities." "They all applied for loans or refis at a company called Loan Mavens in Piedmont." "Only two women work there." "One's a 65-year-old receptionist." "The other.." "Kari Nichols." "According to the company Web site, she's in charge of drafting loan documents." " IDs at her fingertips." " All right." "She's also a notary public." "I mean, how does an upstanding citizen hook up with Mr. Smash and Grab?" "They could have met anywhere." "His liquor store hits were East Oakland." " Loan office is Piedmont?" " You know what?" "Search that jacket." "Is there anything in Piedmont?" "His parole office." " P.O. report..." "P.O. report..." " I got it." ""Mr. Ellis has shown initiative securing work as a repossession agent for a local loan company. "" "It's the loan lady and the repo man." "That's a match made in heaven." "Bet you it was love at first sight." "There she is, behind her desk, doing her 9:00 to 5:00." "Along comes in Mr. Tall, Dark and Dangerous." "He offers her the magic carpet ride, tells her about all the money they're going to make, about the life they're going to have." "And then she's got to give him up." "Baby, we should ditch the truck." "Stop for some grub and boost something from the parking lot." "Uh-uh." "That will get reported too quickly." "We need someplace people leave a car for a while." "There's a park-and-ride just a few blocks from here." "Well, grab us something nice." "I'll finish getting all this stuff together." "Hurry up." "I'll wait." "So these guys went a little car crazy." "It's all part of the long con- each identity gets a different ride." "They bought all these cars?" "No, they reported them." "Got them cheap." "Did you talk to the boss yet?" "Yeah." "He said that Kari Nichols was a smart cookie, a hard worker, until she met Sam Ellis." "Then it was sex in the office, and it all went downhill from there." " I hate when that happens." " We should pass it on to the task force." "Well, have Lea check it against the robberies first." "If we can nail down which one hasn't been used, we'll know what he's driving." "Guys, I got Kari." " Tower hit?" " Ventura County." "This is Emily." "What took you so long?" "***** Our team is in Oceanside." " ******" " He called it off." "Look, I don't have a lot of time here." "If I'm going to do this, I need something from you guys." "Well, we've already offered you leniency." "I need immunity, in writing, from a judge." "That's called a Letter of Indemnity." "Whatever it's called, I need it or you get nothing." "******* You need me and I can help you." "But, I'm going to need something in return." " I'm giving you Sam." " You promised me Sam." "I'm going to need a guarantee." "Look, I know you saw how we were with each other, but it's different now." "How's that?" "I've seen what he's really like, and I will turn him in." "I just..." "I got caught up." "Well, it happens to the best of us, Kari." "It is Kari, right?" "Kari Nichols?" " Why don't you come in right now?" " Listen to me." "I want that letter." "I will testify." "Bring me that letter or we' both gone." "I got us some wheels." "Let's move this money." "I've got a five-mile radius." "Just south of Laguna Niguel." " South?" " Mexico." "Sounds about right." "So what are you still doing here?" "You're still 15 miles outside the radius, but we have to assume they're in motion." "Border Patrol is on high alert." "Did you talk to D.O.J.?" "Yeah." "They're not prepared to cut Kari a break, much less a Letter of Indemnity." "Can't say that I blame them." "Where are we on that list of vehicles?" "Armed Robbery is checking it now." "So far, every ride has been used, including a truck" "Laguna PD found abandoned at a motel." "Such a bitch." "I guess they think they can cross the border in a stolen car stuffed with cash." "No." "Kari's too smart for that." "She planned this thing right to the end." "Is there any entry on that list that's not a car?" "Maybe a house they could lay up in?" "There's one address I tracked down, but there's no home sale linked to it- 46 Harbor Way." "That's near the marina." "That's not an address." "It's a slip." "Slow boat to Cabo?" "International waters start three miles out." "It's a much nicer ride to Mexico." "Thanks." "Hey, you want to stow these, and I'll get everything else ready?" "Hey." "Everything we got is 'cause of you." "Still a little tender." "FBI, Los Angeles." " This is Kari for Emily." " You need to talk to her?" "Why the hell else would I be calling?" "Not sure if she's in the office." "Let me check." "Please hold." "Hold?" "This is Emily." "Did you get the letter?" "Actually, we hit a couple of snags." "What?" "Kari, I hope you've got a fast engine on that boat." "Yeah, we're here at the marina, Kari." "Now, I need you to listen to me, and I need you to listen very carefully, because I'm about to save your life." "Tell Sam that you left something in the car, okay?" "I need you to walk toward land until you see the main ramp." "Okay, there's going to be two SWAT guys waiting to take you to safety." "Kari?" "..." "Kari?" "Sierra One in position." "Sierra Two, you're exposed out there." "Keep low." "You can't do this to me." " You can't." " Hang it up." "Grabbing you too hard, baby?" "How could you do this?" "!" "We got the 600 grand, and we're right here!" "Right here!" "I just wanted it to end." "Well, it's going to end!" "It's going to end like you wouldn't believe." "Be advised Sierra Two will not have a clear shot through these windows." "Lehman, it's your show." "All right." "Copy that." "Sam!" "My name is Emily." "We met at the bank." "Hey, Kari, are you okay in there?" "I'm okay." "Look, back off or I'll do her right now!" "Sam, look, we got strike teams on the dock, and the Coast Guard's in the bay." "There's not a way out of here on land or sea." "Then you do it!" "You do it!" "Untie the boat so I can start my engine!" "All right, let me talk to the Coast Guard for a second." "He's going to kill her." "No." "If he wanted that, he would have done it already." "No, no." "He's in shock." "Once it sinks in that she sold him out, it's going to be a murder-suicide." "Okay." "Don't let it sink in." "Tell him that she didn't flip." "Tell him that she was working a deal for both of them." "That gives her an out." "She's smart." "She'll play along." "Well, he's dumb." "He'll shoot." "I agree with Lehman." "Second that." "This mutt does not want back in the cage." "No." "This guy is not going to hurt her." " Why not?" " Because he's crazy about her." "Sierra One can make a stealth move onto the back of the boat, at least to cover egress." "Slow." "Sam!" "What the hell is going on out there?" "!" "Yeah, I don't know." "The Coast Guard is being a pain." "Uh..." "Just give me another second with them." "I need you to understand something for me, though." "We didn't try and double-cross you." "Oh!" "Look, I heard her on the phone!" "She was going to sell me out!" "No, no." "I tried to get her to flip on you, and she wouldn't do it." "She said she'd only take a deal for the both of you." "You saved her, Sam." "That... that's what she told me." "From that office, that crappy boss." "She told me that doing these jobs with you saved her life, Sam." "And when it all got too real, when the bullets started flying, she just couldn't do it anymore." "She..." "I don't know." "She couldn't separate the job from what really mattered: you." "She loves you, Sam." "She's crazy about you." "Come on, tell him, Kari." "Tell him everything." "It's true, Sam." "I didn't count on it going wrong." "When it did, I was afraid... for us." "You changed my life, Sam." "You got me out of that dead-end job." "that stupid little town, my boring life." "You made me feel alive." "You saved me." "I was just trying to do the same." "FBI." "Drop your weapon." " Please." " Drop... your... weapon." "Guess you signed up for this part, too, huh?" "I'll still testify." "For leniency?" "Talk to a prosecutor about that." "You're a lying bitch!" "Can't live with 'em, can't shoot them." "Easy there, tough guy." "Can't shoot them?" "That's what they say anyway."
