Right then Paula calls Michael's attention back to what he's here for: in fact, her "stalker" has just walked in. He's being played by the guy who plays Romo Lampkin, although I first encountered the actor on 24 as Season Five's Ivan Erwich, a.k.a. Yellow Tie. Anyway, as he enters through the bank's front door, the subtitles play along and identify him as "Prescott -- Stalker." "Heee's not a stalker," Michael says calmly. And Prescott, with four other suited guys walking in behind him and pulling out big silenced handguns, announces, "This is a robbery!" The subtitles now inform us that this is actually "Prescott -- Bank Robber." Thanks for keeping up, subtitles. With deadly efficiency, Prescott's men knock out the lone guard. A delivery guy who was already there pulls out a gun of his own, revealing himself as part of the crew. Someone produces and activates a cell phone jammer, and Prescott explains that everyone's cell phones are now useless. "So leave them on the floor and head into the conference room." When no one moves, Prescott pulls out his own gun and, with a bored expression, fires a shot into the ceiling. The silencer on the weapon kind of ruins the effect, so he has to back it up by bellowing, "Now!" As he and his men start herding the employees -- and Michael and Bly -- into the back, one of his guys steals the uniform jacket off the incapacitated guard, for reasons that will never become clear.
