Mandroid and Shape Shifter

After the heist of the City Bank of Milwaukee by the old employee Joel and a jewelry store by the head buyer Helena, where the employees committed suicide later, Dean and Sam investigate the weird robberies. They meet the paranoid Ronald Reznick (Chris Gauthier) that has a conspiracy theory and believes that the criminal is a "mandroid". Ron provides good leads to the Winchester brothers and they conclude that the criminal is actually a shape-shifter that is hidden in the sewage system. They decide to survey the Milwaukee National Trust using the surveillance cameras to find the criminal, but Ron breaks in the bank forcing a hostage situation.

"Nightshifter" is another great episode of the Second Season of Supernatural. The engaging and funny story has wonderful moments and dialogs. However, the chase of the FBI for Dean and Sam is exaggerated and hard to believe that the Winchester brothers will be able to hide themselves for a long time. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "Caminhante Noturno" ("Night Walker")
