Show: The Dead Zone - 1x9
I had the perfect life until I was in a coma for six years.
And then I woke up and found my fianc�e married to another man.
My son doesn't know who I am.
Everything has changed...
including me.
One touch and I can see things...
things that happened, things that will happen.
You should see what I see.
Mom, can I?
No, not right now, sweetie, I have to go into the bank.
Please?!
Here...
it's on me.
Sarah: It's okay.
Say thanks.
Boy: Thanks.
Wow, he's really warming up to me, huh?
He will...
if you have enough quarters.
Okay...
think you can handle a few minutes alone with him?
I've gotta run to the bank.
Yeah, we can always do hand puppets if it gets rough.
I'll be back in a minute, okay, Johnny?
Car: Metro-18 over.
Code three.
Is that thing turbo?
20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80...
This'll just take a second.
If you can just fill in the account number.
Do you want this in checking or savings?
Checking.
Mr.
And Mrs.
Stratton?
Come have a seat in my office.
Woman: I'll see you at the poker game.
Okay.
Bye.
Next please.
Hello there.
Good morning.
How are you?
Good, thanks.
Teller: What do we have here?
Morning, Conrad.
Rudy.
Maybe we could do a silent auction?
We could also do a bake sale.
Yeah!
We've looked over the IRA, and the annuity accounts and I have to tell you you have absolutely nothing to worry about.
Henry?
I'm busy right now, Conrad.
I really need to talk with you.
Morning, Mrs.
Stratton, Mr.
Stratton.
Conrad.
Heard from Arleta, Conrad?
What?
No, I haven't heard from her.
If I could just have a second?
I'll be right back.
Look, if this is about the contract, Conrad, there's really nothing to talk about.
17 years I've been working in this township, Henry.
17 years!
In all that time, haven't I done a pretty fair job of all your electrical work?
Yes...
Haven't I?
Don't I at least deserve...
The council has voted.
And that's it.
I'm sorry.
I am too.
Okay!
Mr.
Stratton: What's he doing?
I need you to put your hands on your heads and stand real still.
I need you to get over here with the others.
I need you to give me your gun.
Don't try to be a hero.
All right, Conrad.
You're calling the shots.
Just take it easy.
Go on, get on over there.
My name is Conrad Hurley.
Some of you know me, and I don't want to hurt anybody!
Conrad, what do you think you're doing?
What does it look like, Henry?
I'm robbing your bank!
You had to bring up the wife.
Mrs.
Stratton, come here, put your hands on your head.
If everybody cooperates, this'll all go real fast.
It's gone far enough, Conrad.
Either you put the gun down or...
I'm gonna get the sheriff.
(screa ms) Henry, I was raised to never point a gun at anything I wasn't going to shoot.
I'm not gonna miss the next time.
Babysitting today?
No, Sarah's in the bank.
It's great how you two have been able to keep up your friendship under such difficult circumstances.
Boy: Can I go again?
Johnny: Oop, out of quarters.
Where is Mom anyway?
Okay, hand puppet time.
(Jo hnny barks) No?
My treat.
Getting two Johnnies for the price of one.
Thanks.
(sl ren Walllng) Coming out.
They say you can see the future, how could you not see this coming when it was 50 feet away from you?
Are you all right?
Call Walt.
Get him over here.
Okay.
Something awful's gonna happen at the bank.
Here, hold this.
I'm gonna go find your mother, okay?
Listen, stay here with Dana.
It'll be okay.
Call him!
(the me musl c playlng) Oooh Fall in love, fall in love fall in love Fall in love...
Feel no shame for what you are Feel no shame for what you are Feel no shame for what you are...
Fall in love, fall in love Fall in love.
Tom, I know what you're thinking.
And don't forget I know where the panic buttons are 'cause I installed 'em.
It'll be okay, Mrs.
Stratton.
You heard him, he doesn't want to hurt anybody.
His wife left him, you know.
He drinks a little.
Henry, can we hurry up here?
I'm running behind schedule.
(do o r creaks) The door!
Step number three, Conrad!
Lock the door!
Conrad: Hi, we're in the middle of something here.
I hope you're not in a hurry?
No, no, no, take your time.
Good.
Hey...
do I know you?
I can't say we've met.
Just get over here with the others.
Rudy, come lock this door!
You okay?
Where's...
He's outside.
He's with Dana Bright.
He's fine.
(screa mlng) Johnny: Hey, Rudy?
You still playing hockey?
No.
Sit down, Rudy.
You want traveler's checks, Conrad?
Yeah, yeah, traveler's checks, cashier's checks, the whole shebang.
If you're thinking about tracing the numbers when I cash them, I'll save you the trouble.
I'm going to Jamaica.
What are you going to do in Jamaica, Conrad?
What do you think I'm gonna do?
I'm gonna sit on the sand...
and drink coco-nonos.
It's really quite beautiful this time of year.
My husband and l...
we went on our honeymoon...
there...
(sobs) (so bblng) Conrad: Hey!
Hey, hey, hey, miss!
Hey, this is going to go a lot easier if you just relax.
Sir!
She's scared.
Why don't you let her go?
When did you start being my partner?
Come on, Henry, let's get going here, please.
We got a hysterical customer.
You people are going to stay here, and you're going to count to 1000, real slow.
Don't anybody do anything stupid.
It's not your money, understand?
One of you's gonna go with me.
You.
Come on.
No, she's got a son.
Why don't you take me instead?
You just don't quit, do you?
Who are you?
I've seen you someplace before.
My name is Smith.
John Smith.
No...
you're staying here.
Henry: I'll go with you, Conrad.
Okay, Henry.
I'm just taking him so nobody does anything stupid...
like set off the alarm.
We get to my truck, Henry goes free, you understand?
Let's go.
I gotta tell you something first, sir.
The sheriff's outside.
Johnny, what do you think you're doing?
Trying to change the future.
Close the curtains...
all of them!
Rudy, kill the lights.
Base, this is 51.
We have a bank robbery in progress at Cleaves Mills Savings & Loan.
I need backup.
It looks like he's taken some hostages.
10-4, dispatching all units.
Is Sarah in there?
Yeah, call the state and get us a tactical team over here.
How did you know the sheriff was outside?
What are you...
a cop?!
No.
Well, then how?
I called them.
You call...
When?!
Before I came in the bank.
How could you call him bef...
You're that guy!
You're the guy...
the guy that sees things and now you're screwing up my bank robbery.
I'm trying to stop you from making the biggest mistake of your life.
I don't believe in any of that garbage, mister, that's just garbage!
You stay clear of me!
You stay completely clear of me!
I suppose you seen me getting killed here today or something?
You think that scares me?
It doesn't!
(sirens approaching) 'Cause when I got up this morning, I said, "This is the day I go to Jamaica or the day I go to hell."
(sl rens g ettlng lo uder) And I'm fine with either one of them!
Woman: What's he doing?
What's the point of that, Conrad?
Everyone knows who you are.
I don't want anybody watching what I do.
I remember you, Johnny.
Yes, Mrs.
Stratton.
I was in your fifth grade class.
We're all going to be all right, aren't we?
This will all turn out all right?
Yes, ma'am.
Teller: Conrad?
Karen...
I need to go to the bathroom.
This is not a good time.
(phone rings) Good or not, I gotta go.
Okay, okay, okay.
(rlng s) Anybody that wants to take a bathroom break, go with Karen, but just leave the door open.
I'm not leaving the door open, Conrad.
(rlng s) (rlng s) Wake up!
Edna?
Please, wake up.
(rlng s) Johnny, you saw something, didn't you?
I have to talk to you.
Mrs.
Stratton is going to have either a stroke or a heart attack, she has got to go to a hospital.
I do not want to hear any more of your crap, do you understand?
What?!
This is Walt Bannerman, County Sheriff.
How are you doing, Sheriff?
Not so good.
How about yourself?
Never been better.
This your truck out here?
What truck would that be?
Hurley Electrical, somebody said they saw you pull into the lot this morning.
You Conrad Hurley Junior?
Haven't been a Junior since my daddy died when I was seven.
What do you say you let those people outta there, Conrad?
You and me talk this through, no harm, no foul?
I can't do that, Sheriff.
I just don't want you to do anything crazy.
There is a way out of this, Conrad.
As long as it's the way to Jamaica, I'll take it.
All right.
Let's talk about Jamaica.
Don't insult my intelligence, Sheriff.
You're just making me madder than I already am.
Mr.
Stratton: Help!
Somebody help me!
Wake up!
Edna?
Please, wake up.
Is she breathing?
Johnny: I can't tell.
You gotta let her outta here!
(rings) Mr.
Stratton: Damn you, Conrad!
She's dying!
(rings) Sarah: Okay, try and relax and breathe.
(rlng s) Let me tell them that we need an ambulance.
(rings) If she dies in here, it's not just going to be armed robbery and kidnapping...
it will be murder!
(rlng s) Hello?
Sheriff, this is John Smith.
Johnny, is Sarah okay?
Yes.
We have an emergency situation here.
We need an ambulance immediately.
There's a woman...
suffering from a stroke or a heart attack.
(g asplng) Ambulance, code three.
You tell them, she goes out...
they don't come in.
Okay, have the paramedics meet us at the door.
We'll bring Mrs.
Stratton out.
Can you tell me how many robbers there are, how many hostages?
One and nine.
What kind of weapons?
They got explosives?
I'm not in a position to answer that question.
Walt: All right, put Hurley on the phone.
The sheriff wants to talk to you.
No...
no, hang up.
Hang up.
(pho ne clanks) We got a woman in there having a heart attack, I need that ambulance now!
Man: Where can we come up?
The security company says this is the most vulnerable point.
See any problems?
Negative.
Simple building, new.
We can get in through the ventilation system and come up here.
Get two of your men in there, and try to get a shot at him.
You got it, Sheriff.
Sheriff?
Go back with the other reporters!
Can I offer a suggestion?
No, now get outta here!
Conrad Hurley's wife left him three weeks ago.
I'm way ahead of you.
We got people trying to track her down.
Have you checked her aunt's house in Dicksmont?
Then you're not so far ahead of me.
How'd you know she had an aunt in Dicksmont?
I'm a reporter and I don't like being back with the others.
Hurley's wife's got an aunt in Dicksmont.
Get somebody on it and track her down.
Thanks for your help.
You're welcome.
We both have people inside that bank we care about, Sheriff.
(sl ren blarlng) The ambulance is here.
You have to let Mr.
Stratton go with her.
No, I'm not letting anybody else go.
They have been married for 50 years.
He needs to be with her.
All right, fine!
He can go.
I want you to help him take her out.
But you come back and when you come back, you bring a TV.
Now, I'm trusting you to come back here.
Because I figure you might know what happens to these people if you don't...
partner.
You all right?
He wants a TV set.
Roscoe, get us a TV.
Where am I going to get a TV?
Go into one of those apartments over there and grab one, I don't care.
What if they're watching it?
Okay, okay, a TV.
Sarah is fine.
Does he realize who she is?
No.
Who else is on there, Johnny?
Henry Spahn, two tellers...
Tom and Karen, security guard named Rudy and a woman I didn't know.
What kind of weapons?
A sawed-off shotgun and a revolver is all I've seen.
He's got some beef with the town council.
He lost a bid for $350,000 to rewire the courthouse.
And he lost his wife on account of his drinking.
Has he been drinking today?
I don't think so.
But he's real jumpy.
We've got his wife on the way.
We're hoping she can talk him out.
Sheriff, my men are going in now.
What's that about?
Into the basement...
in case we can't talk him out.
We're in.
Here, this may cost you a vote in the next election.
I'll take it.
You're not going back in there.
Listen, that was the deal...
to get Mrs.
Stratton out.
Once hostages come out, they don't go back in!
I can deliver it.
What did you see?
Undesirable outcome.
What's going on here?
Are you playing with fate or something?
It's a jigsaw puzzle, Walt.
It's a moving, shifting jigsaw puzzle, and I'm caught right in the middle of it.
Okay?
Each time I move a piece, the whole picture changes.
It's like a ricochet effect.
I only know I gotta keep fitting the right pieces together until I like the picture that's coming out.
Right now, I don't.
You wouldn't either.
I'm not gonna let Sarah die, all right?
Then I gotta go back in there!
At least let me wire you, all right?
No.
Let's play it straight.
He's beginning to trust me.
A single, armed man holding seven hostages inside the building has been identified as Conrad Hurley, a disgruntled electrical worker.
Channel 4 News has just learned that one of the hostages inside the bank is Sarah Bannerman, the wife of Sheriff Walt Bannerman who is in charge of the situation here in Cleaves Mills this morning.
We will contin...
The sheriff's wife, hmm?
Nobody told me.
None of you were going to tell me.
It's gotta be one of you two, let's see some ID.
That won't be necessary.
I'm Sarah Bannerman.
Here's my driver's license.
You just got to be my ticket outta here.
We've got a couple of guys...
Roscoe, have another ambulance standing by.
(cell phone rings) Get another ambulance ASAP.
Hello?
Walt?
Sarah!
Hi, honey.
It's good to hear your voice.
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
How's little Johnny?
He's okay.
He doesn't know what's going on.
He's with Ms.
Tuttleman right now.
Listen, I can't talk long.
I'm calling to tell you Mr.
Hurley's demands.
Wait a minute...
they know who you are?
It was on TV.
Damn it!
What does he want?
A helicopter.
And then a jet plane with enough fuel to fly to Jamaica.
And he wants to take a hostage with him.
Me.
No, there's no way I'm going to let him get away with that.
Look, anything happens to me, it happens to her first, understand?
I'd hate to see another man lose his wife for no good reason.
My men are ready.
Call them on the private line that rings at the safety deposit desk.
Hurley picks it up, we have a clear shot at him.
Boom, it's over.
No, not yet.
We've still got options.
Sheriff, under the circumstances you might want to let someone else take charge.
Radio: Delta 15, take your positions.
We're awaiting further authorization.
So if something happens, it's his fault.
It's not my fault.
It's his fault, you understand?
Stop looking at me!
They just do what I tell them, nobody'll get hurt.
They don't, it'll be on their heads.
Walt's gonna do the right thing.
What if there is no "right thing"?
What then?
There's gotta be.
We just have to find it together.
Can you see a way out of this?
It's a moment-to-moment proposition.
Just like real life.
I'm glad you're here.
I mean I'm not glad you're here...
here.
(chuckles) God, what a stupid thing to say.
Listen, I can't think of any place I'd rather be.
It changes things...
something like this...
it forces you to ask yourself what you really want.
Yo u have everythlng yo u really Wanted, rl ght, Sarah?
Do I?
Right now...
I just want you to put your arm around me.
(pho ne rlng s) Where's my ride, Sheriff?
I don't hear any choppers.
Woman: Conrad?
Is that you?
Arleta?
What are you doing, Conrad?
Have you been...
watching TV.
I don't like TV, you know that.
I been on it this morning.
Can we talk, Conrad?
Conrad: We're talking.
Arleta: Just you and me without the TV?
I can't come out right now.
You can come in though.
The cops won't let me.
Just scared I'll hurt you or something.
Well, I guess.
Arleta, I'd never hurt you, you know that.
I love you.
Conrad, you gotta come out now.
I come out now...
nothing changes.
I'll just be a loser all over again.
No, you're not, Conrad!
That's what you said.
Well, I was mad.
And you're not mad anymore?
No.
I'm just...
scared.
I just wanted to do something to prove I'm not some kind of...
(scoffs) You've done that, Conrad.
Now come on out.
Hey, Arleta, you ever been to Jamaica?
This woman here went on her honeymoon there, she said it's beautiful...
Conrad, you are such a fool.
Well, like you say, nothing's changed.
Thanks for coming by, Arleta.
Conrad?
Conrad!
Arleta: L...
Delta 15, we are good to go.
Advl se When yo u've reached the targ et.
(sl ghs) That was my wife Arleta.
You know why she left me?
She said I was boring.
Turn up the sound, partner.
Reporter: They sent a team in through the ventilation system and something went terribly, terribly wrong.
We're waiting on confirmation of the bodies now.
...estranged wife of the bank robber, her efforts apparently futile.
We will continue our coverage of "Siege at Cleaves Mills" after these messages.
What?
They're gonna try something.
And it's not gonna work.
What are you gonna do?
Johnny, if you warn him, someone could get hurt.
I know.
If I don't warn him, it'll be a lot worse.
Radio: Delta 15, enter the building and obtain line of sight.
Conrad: They better take me seriously, I'm telling you.
Make the call.
(rlnglng) Don't!
Don't pick it up.
It's a trick.
They've got men underneath the floor.
I just wish I knew whose side you're on.
Ours, Conrad.
All of ours.
(rlnglng) Hello?
Something I can do for you fellas?
Rudy, go back there and roll that copier over that trapdoor.
Looks like you were right, partner.
I owe you one.
Roger that.
Radio: Be advised, he knew we were there.
Delta 15 out.
Hurley was expecting them.
Pull them out.
Set up sharpshooters there...
and one over here.
I don't get it...
how could he be there standing waiting for them?
There's no way he could have known!
Johnny.
Conrad, this is Sheriff Bannerman.
There will not be any more attempts to get into the bank.
You got my word on that.
We're bringing a van that'll take you to a chopper in a vacant field about 100 yards down the road.
Is he telling the truth?
You sure you want to know?
I'm not your fortune-teller, Conrad.
You want a partner, I'll work with you...
but there's a condition.
Fair trades.
You've gotta let somebody go.
A hostage for your thoughts?
You got my expenses.
Which one?
Not her.
Take her.
Hell, I'm tired of her crying anyway.
It depresses me.
Man: There's someone coming out!
Clear!
Get the camera on her!
Okay, your turn.
Take a bullet out of your gun and give it to me.
Well?
Still another undesirable outcome.
Well, what can we do about it?
What can you do about it, Conrad?
Every choice you make has a consequence in the future.
One wrong choice and you lose!
We all do.
I'm just trying to help you to figure out what the right choices are.
What choices do I have left?
I let them go, I got nothing.
You've got nothing if you keep them.
How do I know you're not bluffing?
You don't.
But I'm not.
If you keep these hostages, you're going to die today, Conrad.
It's not the worst thing that could happen.
It's not the best thing either.
You're not the only one that's going to die.
Conrad, I know that you didn't come here to hurt anybody today.
That's God's honest truth.
I can't speak to what you're gonna find...
when you cross on to the other side.
Do you really want the burden of somebody else's death on your hands when you get there?
You a religious man, John?
I am today, Conrad.
Yeah, well, I used to be.
Rudy, Henry, Tom, Karen, you can go.
That's not good enough.
The sheriff's wife stays!
You're not getting her out unless I go with her.
And it goes without saying, whatever happens to me, it happens to you.
Conrad?
Henry, none of this is your fault.
I know I've been slipping.
This was supposed to turn it all around.
Good luck, Conrad.
Cop: There they are!
More hostages coming out!
Right here!
Right here!
Move it!
Move it!
That's it, over by the cruiser!
Okay, partner, where do we stand?
Let Sarah go first.
Pick up the bullet!
Don't threaten me.
Conrad, you know perfectly well if you shoot me or her...
you might as well just shoot yourself.
Or they will.
I let her go, I lose my protection.
You got me, Conrad.
And you're not going to let me get killed?!
All I can give you is a chance, Conrad.
Whether you take it or not...
is up to you.
Let her go.
You tell Walt...
What?
I'm counting on him to take good care of you and Johnny, okay?
I'll see you soon.
Don't do anything foolish.
Yeah, that's me.
John "Don't Do Anything Foolish" Smith.
Get outta here.
He's lost his shield, we can take him now, Sheriff.
No, you can't do that!
Johnny's still inside.
With all due respect, this Smith fellow almost got my men killed.
I'm not sure who's side he's on at this point.
Honey, who is this stupid son of a bitch?
Ma'am...
This is Harlan Casey.
Leader of the state's tactical team.
Mr.
Casey, your team nearly got us all killed in there.
Johnny told me.
Sure...
Il ke thl s g uy can really see Into the future.
We'll give Johnny some more time in there with him.
That courthouse job would have saved my business, maybe Arleta would have come home.
(g ro ans) AW, hell...
what difference does it make now?
Not much.
Coulda, woulda, shoulda.
Never got any breaks before, I don't know why I should now.
I think you got a break.
Yeah?
Yeah, having Sarah here this morning.
If she hadn't been here, you wouldn't be alive.
Tell me about her.
Who?
The sheriff's wife.
Sarah's an old friend.
Hey, John...
the invisible guy with the toolbox, that fixes the electrical outlets, he gets to see and hear a whole lot most people don't even notice.
You know what I mean?
We had a thing once.
And you...
lost her?
To the sheriff?
You could say that.
Women.
Well...
she still has feelings for you.
What makes you say that?
What kind of psychic are you?
Anybody can see that.
It's too late for that now.
Okay, good.
Get over it!
Go on with the rest of your life.
Listen to me, I'm giving advice.
I'm not going to make it to Jamaica, am I?
Not that far.
Guess I never was.
It's a good thing too.
Why?
Jamaica has an extradition treaty with the US.
It does?!
Isn't that where that Wall Street guy hid out in plain sight for...
years?
I believe that was Costa Rica.
Costa Ric...
Right.
Right.
Costa Rica.
He had to pay a fortune to the local authorities...
just to leave him alone, you know?
I don't know anything about Costa Rica.
I hear it's nice.
But I'm...
not going to get there.
Not that far.
Prison?
Am I gonna be okay with it?
Yeah, you're gonna be okay with it, Conrad.
Okay, John, let's say I am okay with it, and...
model...
model prisoner, and I get out in a few years, and...
I'm going out the gate, is there somebody there waiting for me?
Yeah.
Arleta?
No.
(sighs) You could've lied, at least.
What kind of partner would I be if I lied?
Well then, who?
Who's waiting for me?
Me, Conrad.
(sl ghs) Woman: They're coming out!
Get the camera on him!
You're in the way!
(croWd cla mo rlng) What was it like in there?
Johnny!
Hey, Dana.
No questions right now.
Maybe later.
Reporter: One question!
Looks like that jigsaw puzzle came together.
Things could have been a lot different today.
Nice work.
The state boys have a few bones to pick with you but...
(chuckles) I had no choice, Walt.
It all turned out.
Johnny needs a ride home.
He came with me.
No problem.
Roscoe, give Mr.
Smith a ride home.
- Yes, sir.
I'll call you later.
And John...
thanks for bringing her back to us.
No.
Yes.
No.
Yes.
You're grounded.
And then I woke up and found my fianc�e married to another man.
My son doesn't know who I am.
Everything has changed...
including me.
One touch and I can see things...
things that happened, things that will happen.
You should see what I see.
Mom, can I?
No, not right now, sweetie, I have to go into the bank.
Please?!
Here...
it's on me.
Sarah: It's okay.
Say thanks.
Boy: Thanks.
Wow, he's really warming up to me, huh?
He will...
if you have enough quarters.
Okay...
think you can handle a few minutes alone with him?
I've gotta run to the bank.
Yeah, we can always do hand puppets if it gets rough.
I'll be back in a minute, okay, Johnny?
Car: Metro-18 over.
Code three.
Is that thing turbo?
20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80...
This'll just take a second.
If you can just fill in the account number.
Do you want this in checking or savings?
Checking.
Mr.
And Mrs.
Stratton?
Come have a seat in my office.
Woman: I'll see you at the poker game.
Okay.
Bye.
Next please.
Hello there.
Good morning.
How are you?
Good, thanks.
Teller: What do we have here?
Morning, Conrad.
Rudy.
Maybe we could do a silent auction?
We could also do a bake sale.
Yeah!
We've looked over the IRA, and the annuity accounts and I have to tell you you have absolutely nothing to worry about.
Henry?
I'm busy right now, Conrad.
I really need to talk with you.
Morning, Mrs.
Stratton, Mr.
Stratton.
Conrad.
Heard from Arleta, Conrad?
What?
No, I haven't heard from her.
If I could just have a second?
I'll be right back.
Look, if this is about the contract, Conrad, there's really nothing to talk about.
17 years I've been working in this township, Henry.
17 years!
In all that time, haven't I done a pretty fair job of all your electrical work?
Yes...
Haven't I?
Don't I at least deserve...
The council has voted.
And that's it.
I'm sorry.
I am too.
Okay!
Mr.
Stratton: What's he doing?
I need you to put your hands on your heads and stand real still.
I need you to get over here with the others.
I need you to give me your gun.
Don't try to be a hero.
All right, Conrad.
You're calling the shots.
Just take it easy.
Go on, get on over there.
My name is Conrad Hurley.
Some of you know me, and I don't want to hurt anybody!
Conrad, what do you think you're doing?
What does it look like, Henry?
I'm robbing your bank!
You had to bring up the wife.
Mrs.
Stratton, come here, put your hands on your head.
If everybody cooperates, this'll all go real fast.
It's gone far enough, Conrad.
Either you put the gun down or...
I'm gonna get the sheriff.
(screa ms) Henry, I was raised to never point a gun at anything I wasn't going to shoot.
I'm not gonna miss the next time.
Babysitting today?
No, Sarah's in the bank.
It's great how you two have been able to keep up your friendship under such difficult circumstances.
Boy: Can I go again?
Johnny: Oop, out of quarters.
Where is Mom anyway?
Okay, hand puppet time.
(Jo hnny barks) No?
My treat.
Getting two Johnnies for the price of one.
Thanks.
(sl ren Walllng) Coming out.
They say you can see the future, how could you not see this coming when it was 50 feet away from you?
Are you all right?
Call Walt.
Get him over here.
Okay.
Something awful's gonna happen at the bank.
Here, hold this.
I'm gonna go find your mother, okay?
Listen, stay here with Dana.
It'll be okay.
Call him!
(the me musl c playlng) Oooh Fall in love, fall in love fall in love Fall in love...
Feel no shame for what you are Feel no shame for what you are Feel no shame for what you are...
Fall in love, fall in love Fall in love.
Tom, I know what you're thinking.
And don't forget I know where the panic buttons are 'cause I installed 'em.
It'll be okay, Mrs.
Stratton.
You heard him, he doesn't want to hurt anybody.
His wife left him, you know.
He drinks a little.
Henry, can we hurry up here?
I'm running behind schedule.
(do o r creaks) The door!
Step number three, Conrad!
Lock the door!
Conrad: Hi, we're in the middle of something here.
I hope you're not in a hurry?
No, no, no, take your time.
Good.
Hey...
do I know you?
I can't say we've met.
Just get over here with the others.
Rudy, come lock this door!
You okay?
Where's...
He's outside.
He's with Dana Bright.
He's fine.
(screa mlng) Johnny: Hey, Rudy?
You still playing hockey?
No.
Sit down, Rudy.
You want traveler's checks, Conrad?
Yeah, yeah, traveler's checks, cashier's checks, the whole shebang.
If you're thinking about tracing the numbers when I cash them, I'll save you the trouble.
I'm going to Jamaica.
What are you going to do in Jamaica, Conrad?
What do you think I'm gonna do?
I'm gonna sit on the sand...
and drink coco-nonos.
It's really quite beautiful this time of year.
My husband and l...
we went on our honeymoon...
there...
(sobs) (so bblng) Conrad: Hey!
Hey, hey, hey, miss!
Hey, this is going to go a lot easier if you just relax.
Sir!
She's scared.
Why don't you let her go?
When did you start being my partner?
Come on, Henry, let's get going here, please.
We got a hysterical customer.
You people are going to stay here, and you're going to count to 1000, real slow.
Don't anybody do anything stupid.
It's not your money, understand?
One of you's gonna go with me.
You.
Come on.
No, she's got a son.
Why don't you take me instead?
You just don't quit, do you?
Who are you?
I've seen you someplace before.
My name is Smith.
John Smith.
No...
you're staying here.
Henry: I'll go with you, Conrad.
Okay, Henry.
I'm just taking him so nobody does anything stupid...
like set off the alarm.
We get to my truck, Henry goes free, you understand?
Let's go.
I gotta tell you something first, sir.
The sheriff's outside.
Johnny, what do you think you're doing?
Trying to change the future.
Close the curtains...
all of them!
Rudy, kill the lights.
Base, this is 51.
We have a bank robbery in progress at Cleaves Mills Savings & Loan.
I need backup.
It looks like he's taken some hostages.
10-4, dispatching all units.
Is Sarah in there?
Yeah, call the state and get us a tactical team over here.
How did you know the sheriff was outside?
What are you...
a cop?!
No.
Well, then how?
I called them.
You call...
When?!
Before I came in the bank.
How could you call him bef...
You're that guy!
You're the guy...
the guy that sees things and now you're screwing up my bank robbery.
I'm trying to stop you from making the biggest mistake of your life.
I don't believe in any of that garbage, mister, that's just garbage!
You stay clear of me!
You stay completely clear of me!
I suppose you seen me getting killed here today or something?
You think that scares me?
It doesn't!
(sirens approaching) 'Cause when I got up this morning, I said, "This is the day I go to Jamaica or the day I go to hell."
(sl rens g ettlng lo uder) And I'm fine with either one of them!
Woman: What's he doing?
What's the point of that, Conrad?
Everyone knows who you are.
I don't want anybody watching what I do.
I remember you, Johnny.
Yes, Mrs.
Stratton.
I was in your fifth grade class.
We're all going to be all right, aren't we?
This will all turn out all right?
Yes, ma'am.
Teller: Conrad?
Karen...
I need to go to the bathroom.
This is not a good time.
(phone rings) Good or not, I gotta go.
Okay, okay, okay.
(rlng s) Anybody that wants to take a bathroom break, go with Karen, but just leave the door open.
I'm not leaving the door open, Conrad.
(rlng s) (rlng s) Wake up!
Edna?
Please, wake up.
(rlng s) Johnny, you saw something, didn't you?
I have to talk to you.
Mrs.
Stratton is going to have either a stroke or a heart attack, she has got to go to a hospital.
I do not want to hear any more of your crap, do you understand?
What?!
This is Walt Bannerman, County Sheriff.
How are you doing, Sheriff?
Not so good.
How about yourself?
Never been better.
This your truck out here?
What truck would that be?
Hurley Electrical, somebody said they saw you pull into the lot this morning.
You Conrad Hurley Junior?
Haven't been a Junior since my daddy died when I was seven.
What do you say you let those people outta there, Conrad?
You and me talk this through, no harm, no foul?
I can't do that, Sheriff.
I just don't want you to do anything crazy.
There is a way out of this, Conrad.
As long as it's the way to Jamaica, I'll take it.
All right.
Let's talk about Jamaica.
Don't insult my intelligence, Sheriff.
You're just making me madder than I already am.
Mr.
Stratton: Help!
Somebody help me!
Wake up!
Edna?
Please, wake up.
Is she breathing?
Johnny: I can't tell.
You gotta let her outta here!
(rings) Mr.
Stratton: Damn you, Conrad!
She's dying!
(rings) Sarah: Okay, try and relax and breathe.
(rlng s) Let me tell them that we need an ambulance.
(rings) If she dies in here, it's not just going to be armed robbery and kidnapping...
it will be murder!
(rlng s) Hello?
Sheriff, this is John Smith.
Johnny, is Sarah okay?
Yes.
We have an emergency situation here.
We need an ambulance immediately.
There's a woman...
suffering from a stroke or a heart attack.
(g asplng) Ambulance, code three.
You tell them, she goes out...
they don't come in.
Okay, have the paramedics meet us at the door.
We'll bring Mrs.
Stratton out.
Can you tell me how many robbers there are, how many hostages?
One and nine.
What kind of weapons?
They got explosives?
I'm not in a position to answer that question.
Walt: All right, put Hurley on the phone.
The sheriff wants to talk to you.
No...
no, hang up.
Hang up.
(pho ne clanks) We got a woman in there having a heart attack, I need that ambulance now!
Man: Where can we come up?
The security company says this is the most vulnerable point.
See any problems?
Negative.
Simple building, new.
We can get in through the ventilation system and come up here.
Get two of your men in there, and try to get a shot at him.
You got it, Sheriff.
Sheriff?
Go back with the other reporters!
Can I offer a suggestion?
No, now get outta here!
Conrad Hurley's wife left him three weeks ago.
I'm way ahead of you.
We got people trying to track her down.
Have you checked her aunt's house in Dicksmont?
Then you're not so far ahead of me.
How'd you know she had an aunt in Dicksmont?
I'm a reporter and I don't like being back with the others.
Hurley's wife's got an aunt in Dicksmont.
Get somebody on it and track her down.
Thanks for your help.
You're welcome.
We both have people inside that bank we care about, Sheriff.
(sl ren blarlng) The ambulance is here.
You have to let Mr.
Stratton go with her.
No, I'm not letting anybody else go.
They have been married for 50 years.
He needs to be with her.
All right, fine!
He can go.
I want you to help him take her out.
But you come back and when you come back, you bring a TV.
Now, I'm trusting you to come back here.
Because I figure you might know what happens to these people if you don't...
partner.
You all right?
He wants a TV set.
Roscoe, get us a TV.
Where am I going to get a TV?
Go into one of those apartments over there and grab one, I don't care.
What if they're watching it?
Okay, okay, a TV.
Sarah is fine.
Does he realize who she is?
No.
Who else is on there, Johnny?
Henry Spahn, two tellers...
Tom and Karen, security guard named Rudy and a woman I didn't know.
What kind of weapons?
A sawed-off shotgun and a revolver is all I've seen.
He's got some beef with the town council.
He lost a bid for $350,000 to rewire the courthouse.
And he lost his wife on account of his drinking.
Has he been drinking today?
I don't think so.
But he's real jumpy.
We've got his wife on the way.
We're hoping she can talk him out.
Sheriff, my men are going in now.
What's that about?
Into the basement...
in case we can't talk him out.
We're in.
Here, this may cost you a vote in the next election.
I'll take it.
You're not going back in there.
Listen, that was the deal...
to get Mrs.
Stratton out.
Once hostages come out, they don't go back in!
I can deliver it.
What did you see?
Undesirable outcome.
What's going on here?
Are you playing with fate or something?
It's a jigsaw puzzle, Walt.
It's a moving, shifting jigsaw puzzle, and I'm caught right in the middle of it.
Okay?
Each time I move a piece, the whole picture changes.
It's like a ricochet effect.
I only know I gotta keep fitting the right pieces together until I like the picture that's coming out.
Right now, I don't.
You wouldn't either.
I'm not gonna let Sarah die, all right?
Then I gotta go back in there!
At least let me wire you, all right?
No.
Let's play it straight.
He's beginning to trust me.
A single, armed man holding seven hostages inside the building has been identified as Conrad Hurley, a disgruntled electrical worker.
Channel 4 News has just learned that one of the hostages inside the bank is Sarah Bannerman, the wife of Sheriff Walt Bannerman who is in charge of the situation here in Cleaves Mills this morning.
We will contin...
The sheriff's wife, hmm?
Nobody told me.
None of you were going to tell me.
It's gotta be one of you two, let's see some ID.
That won't be necessary.
I'm Sarah Bannerman.
Here's my driver's license.
You just got to be my ticket outta here.
We've got a couple of guys...
Roscoe, have another ambulance standing by.
(cell phone rings) Get another ambulance ASAP.
Hello?
Walt?
Sarah!
Hi, honey.
It's good to hear your voice.
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
How's little Johnny?
He's okay.
He doesn't know what's going on.
He's with Ms.
Tuttleman right now.
Listen, I can't talk long.
I'm calling to tell you Mr.
Hurley's demands.
Wait a minute...
they know who you are?
It was on TV.
Damn it!
What does he want?
A helicopter.
And then a jet plane with enough fuel to fly to Jamaica.
And he wants to take a hostage with him.
Me.
No, there's no way I'm going to let him get away with that.
Look, anything happens to me, it happens to her first, understand?
I'd hate to see another man lose his wife for no good reason.
My men are ready.
Call them on the private line that rings at the safety deposit desk.
Hurley picks it up, we have a clear shot at him.
Boom, it's over.
No, not yet.
We've still got options.
Sheriff, under the circumstances you might want to let someone else take charge.
Radio: Delta 15, take your positions.
We're awaiting further authorization.
So if something happens, it's his fault.
It's not my fault.
It's his fault, you understand?
Stop looking at me!
They just do what I tell them, nobody'll get hurt.
They don't, it'll be on their heads.
Walt's gonna do the right thing.
What if there is no "right thing"?
What then?
There's gotta be.
We just have to find it together.
Can you see a way out of this?
It's a moment-to-moment proposition.
Just like real life.
I'm glad you're here.
I mean I'm not glad you're here...
here.
(chuckles) God, what a stupid thing to say.
Listen, I can't think of any place I'd rather be.
It changes things...
something like this...
it forces you to ask yourself what you really want.
Yo u have everythlng yo u really Wanted, rl ght, Sarah?
Do I?
Right now...
I just want you to put your arm around me.
(pho ne rlng s) Where's my ride, Sheriff?
I don't hear any choppers.
Woman: Conrad?
Is that you?
Arleta?
What are you doing, Conrad?
Have you been...
watching TV.
I don't like TV, you know that.
I been on it this morning.
Can we talk, Conrad?
Conrad: We're talking.
Arleta: Just you and me without the TV?
I can't come out right now.
You can come in though.
The cops won't let me.
Just scared I'll hurt you or something.
Well, I guess.
Arleta, I'd never hurt you, you know that.
I love you.
Conrad, you gotta come out now.
I come out now...
nothing changes.
I'll just be a loser all over again.
No, you're not, Conrad!
That's what you said.
Well, I was mad.
And you're not mad anymore?
No.
I'm just...
scared.
I just wanted to do something to prove I'm not some kind of...
(scoffs) You've done that, Conrad.
Now come on out.
Hey, Arleta, you ever been to Jamaica?
This woman here went on her honeymoon there, she said it's beautiful...
Conrad, you are such a fool.
Well, like you say, nothing's changed.
Thanks for coming by, Arleta.
Conrad?
Conrad!
Arleta: L...
Delta 15, we are good to go.
Advl se When yo u've reached the targ et.
(sl ghs) That was my wife Arleta.
You know why she left me?
She said I was boring.
Turn up the sound, partner.
Reporter: They sent a team in through the ventilation system and something went terribly, terribly wrong.
We're waiting on confirmation of the bodies now.
...estranged wife of the bank robber, her efforts apparently futile.
We will continue our coverage of "Siege at Cleaves Mills" after these messages.
What?
They're gonna try something.
And it's not gonna work.
What are you gonna do?
Johnny, if you warn him, someone could get hurt.
I know.
If I don't warn him, it'll be a lot worse.
Radio: Delta 15, enter the building and obtain line of sight.
Conrad: They better take me seriously, I'm telling you.
Make the call.
(rlnglng) Don't!
Don't pick it up.
It's a trick.
They've got men underneath the floor.
I just wish I knew whose side you're on.
Ours, Conrad.
All of ours.
(rlnglng) Hello?
Something I can do for you fellas?
Rudy, go back there and roll that copier over that trapdoor.
Looks like you were right, partner.
I owe you one.
Roger that.
Radio: Be advised, he knew we were there.
Delta 15 out.
Hurley was expecting them.
Pull them out.
Set up sharpshooters there...
and one over here.
I don't get it...
how could he be there standing waiting for them?
There's no way he could have known!
Johnny.
Conrad, this is Sheriff Bannerman.
There will not be any more attempts to get into the bank.
You got my word on that.
We're bringing a van that'll take you to a chopper in a vacant field about 100 yards down the road.
Is he telling the truth?
You sure you want to know?
I'm not your fortune-teller, Conrad.
You want a partner, I'll work with you...
but there's a condition.
Fair trades.
You've gotta let somebody go.
A hostage for your thoughts?
You got my expenses.
Which one?
Not her.
Take her.
Hell, I'm tired of her crying anyway.
It depresses me.
Man: There's someone coming out!
Clear!
Get the camera on her!
Okay, your turn.
Take a bullet out of your gun and give it to me.
Well?
Still another undesirable outcome.
Well, what can we do about it?
What can you do about it, Conrad?
Every choice you make has a consequence in the future.
One wrong choice and you lose!
We all do.
I'm just trying to help you to figure out what the right choices are.
What choices do I have left?
I let them go, I got nothing.
You've got nothing if you keep them.
How do I know you're not bluffing?
You don't.
But I'm not.
If you keep these hostages, you're going to die today, Conrad.
It's not the worst thing that could happen.
It's not the best thing either.
You're not the only one that's going to die.
Conrad, I know that you didn't come here to hurt anybody today.
That's God's honest truth.
I can't speak to what you're gonna find...
when you cross on to the other side.
Do you really want the burden of somebody else's death on your hands when you get there?
You a religious man, John?
I am today, Conrad.
Yeah, well, I used to be.
Rudy, Henry, Tom, Karen, you can go.
That's not good enough.
The sheriff's wife stays!
You're not getting her out unless I go with her.
And it goes without saying, whatever happens to me, it happens to you.
Conrad?
Henry, none of this is your fault.
I know I've been slipping.
This was supposed to turn it all around.
Good luck, Conrad.
Cop: There they are!
More hostages coming out!
Right here!
Right here!
Move it!
Move it!
That's it, over by the cruiser!
Okay, partner, where do we stand?
Let Sarah go first.
Pick up the bullet!
Don't threaten me.
Conrad, you know perfectly well if you shoot me or her...
you might as well just shoot yourself.
Or they will.
I let her go, I lose my protection.
You got me, Conrad.
And you're not going to let me get killed?!
All I can give you is a chance, Conrad.
Whether you take it or not...
is up to you.
Let her go.
You tell Walt...
What?
I'm counting on him to take good care of you and Johnny, okay?
I'll see you soon.
Don't do anything foolish.
Yeah, that's me.
John "Don't Do Anything Foolish" Smith.
Get outta here.
He's lost his shield, we can take him now, Sheriff.
No, you can't do that!
Johnny's still inside.
With all due respect, this Smith fellow almost got my men killed.
I'm not sure who's side he's on at this point.
Honey, who is this stupid son of a bitch?
Ma'am...
This is Harlan Casey.
Leader of the state's tactical team.
Mr.
Casey, your team nearly got us all killed in there.
Johnny told me.
Sure...
Il ke thl s g uy can really see Into the future.
We'll give Johnny some more time in there with him.
That courthouse job would have saved my business, maybe Arleta would have come home.
(g ro ans) AW, hell...
what difference does it make now?
Not much.
Coulda, woulda, shoulda.
Never got any breaks before, I don't know why I should now.
I think you got a break.
Yeah?
Yeah, having Sarah here this morning.
If she hadn't been here, you wouldn't be alive.
Tell me about her.
Who?
The sheriff's wife.
Sarah's an old friend.
Hey, John...
the invisible guy with the toolbox, that fixes the electrical outlets, he gets to see and hear a whole lot most people don't even notice.
You know what I mean?
We had a thing once.
And you...
lost her?
To the sheriff?
You could say that.
Women.
Well...
she still has feelings for you.
What makes you say that?
What kind of psychic are you?
Anybody can see that.
It's too late for that now.
Okay, good.
Get over it!
Go on with the rest of your life.
Listen to me, I'm giving advice.
I'm not going to make it to Jamaica, am I?
Not that far.
Guess I never was.
It's a good thing too.
Why?
Jamaica has an extradition treaty with the US.
It does?!
Isn't that where that Wall Street guy hid out in plain sight for...
years?
I believe that was Costa Rica.
Costa Ric...
Right.
Right.
Costa Rica.
He had to pay a fortune to the local authorities...
just to leave him alone, you know?
I don't know anything about Costa Rica.
I hear it's nice.
But I'm...
not going to get there.
Not that far.
Prison?
Am I gonna be okay with it?
Yeah, you're gonna be okay with it, Conrad.
Okay, John, let's say I am okay with it, and...
model...
model prisoner, and I get out in a few years, and...
I'm going out the gate, is there somebody there waiting for me?
Yeah.
Arleta?
No.
(sighs) You could've lied, at least.
What kind of partner would I be if I lied?
Well then, who?
Who's waiting for me?
Me, Conrad.
(sl ghs) Woman: They're coming out!
Get the camera on him!
You're in the way!
(croWd cla mo rlng) What was it like in there?
Johnny!
Hey, Dana.
No questions right now.
Maybe later.
Reporter: One question!
Looks like that jigsaw puzzle came together.
Things could have been a lot different today.
Nice work.
The state boys have a few bones to pick with you but...
(chuckles) I had no choice, Walt.
It all turned out.
Johnny needs a ride home.
He came with me.
No problem.
Roscoe, give Mr.
Smith a ride home.
- Yes, sir.
I'll call you later.
And John...
thanks for bringing her back to us.
No.
Yes.
No.
Yes.
You're grounded.
