We just moved him

to an office.

Oh, sh*t.

He needs a doctor fast.

Why wasn't there an alarm

on your back door?

That alarm

hasn't worked in months.

They're still out there.

Some kind of a truck

out there in the forest.

lt's not moving.

Are you kidding me?

They must have assumed

we'd call for backup.

l'm having

a little problem here.

The phones aren't working.

Sure, they cut the wires.

IRIS:
The storm

could've taken the phones out.

Bullshit. Those are

Bishop's guys out there.

They cut the wires.

Just try the radios!

Forget it.

Frequencies are blocked.

The frequencies are blocked?

That's not easy to do.

Well, they must've got

professional help then...

because all the frequencies

are blocked.

They probably screwed up

your cell phones, too.

l'm not getting a signal.

Neither am l.

What the hell is this?

l told you! They're

Bishop's guys out there!

They're gonna break him out

of here one way or another.

Maybe somebody heard

the gunshots and will come

check it out.

Nothing out there

but factories.

No, no.

l don't buy any of that.

They, whoever they are,

are gone.

And if they did hear

the gunshots, they're gonna

think they're fireworks.

They don't give a sh*t about

me and l'm going. Thank you!

[Gun firing]

ALEX:
Oh, my God.

[Exclaiming]

What the hell

is happening here?

This is a f***ing police

precinct for God's sake!

Jesus Christ!

Sarge, if you're all right,

you better take

a look at this.

They're surrounding the place.

lt's a goddamn siege.

[Sighing]

l am not supposed to be here.

Not supposed to be here.

l'm not supposed to be here.

Sh*t!

Cease fire! Cease fire! Cease

fire! lt wasn't gunshots.

Bishop. l told you. Those

are Bishop's troops out there.

They're taking him out of here

tonight, no matter what!

This doesn't make any sense.

This is a police precinct!

Shut the f*** up, Doc.

You said that already.

All right, look.

Everybody just listen up.

Maybe they're trying to give

us a way out of this.

Let's just give them what

they want. Let them have

Bishop and it's all over.

Nobody else gets hurt!

Not a bad f***ing idea.

No, we can't let that scumbag

gangster, a cop killer...

walk out of our precinct!

lt's not an option!

l'm trying

to defuse this situation.

You got a wounded cop

over there!

l already said no!

What in God's name are we

supposed to do then, Sergeant?

They're getting ready

to storm the fort here.

l don't think so, all right?

l think they're just

trying to scare us

into giving up Bishop.

They're doing a damn good job.

You see this blackout,

this is the kind of sh*t that

deflates human smugness...

about the government's

so-called miraculous

technologies, doesn't it?

Shove it up their lying,

corporate f***ing asses.

This ain't no blackout,

junkie. Something suspect

is going on.

l wanna know

what the funk it is.

l know it hurts,

but we just got to get you

away from these windows.

All right. All right.

Hell of an attack scenario.

They've blinded us.

They can see 2020.

Jasper, you got

those flashlights?

l don't know

where the f*** they are!

Everything's been packed.

Roenick!

Get down! Get down!

Jasper, get the blinds!

All right. All right.

Yeah, we're

perfectly safe now.

These are just

scare tactics, all right?

They don't know how much

firepower we have

or don't have.

They're not gonna come in

here again. lt's too risky.

What about us

getting out there, Sergeant?

l need help real bad.

l need it.

Let's barricade up

these doors and windows...

and l'll figure out

how to get some help in here.

What are you doing

this for, Jake?

Nobody gives a sh*t anymore

about anything.

We can end this right now.

l can't let a murderer

walk out of here.

Can't do that.

l'll get us out of this,

Jasper, l will. l promise.

You got almost no chance

out there, buddy.

That cop in there dies

if l don't try.

You keep the place locked down

until l get some help.

All right.

l'd better cover from the

front windows. l can see

the truck better from there.

Keep your head down.

Schmuck.

Sh*t!

[Grunting]

[Groaning]

[Screaming]

Oh, sh*t!

l found this

on our friend out there.

F*** it. Fact or fiction?

You pulled a guy's spine

out once, didn't you?

You a surgeon?

l heard that bullet you took

in your belly is still lodged

in there rattling around.

l bet you it's causing you

a lot of intestinal issues.

Right? Right, man?

Bishop, l need to talk to you.

So, l just killed a man.

His name was Danny Barbero.

A cop. A cop who works

for Ray Portnow.

The man you killed.

So, tell me why cops

are risking their lives

to get to you, Bishop?

Why should l answer

that question?

Because l'm thinking

about sending you out

to the wolves...

and saving my own ass

if you don't.

l assume you know

who l am, Sergeant.

You're a scumbag gangster.

And one of my scumbag partners

in crime is your fellow

officer, Marcus Duvall.

Marcus Duvall

and his entire team.

We used to split things 50-50.

Marcus got greedy.

He wanted more.

So, you killed

Ray Portnow?

After he tried

to kill me.

Right.

They're here

to execute me because

if l make it to court...

every single one of them

goes to jail

for the rest of their days.

How many cops

are involved in this?

l can't say exactly, but

the blood money runs through

your entire department.

l bet they're all here now

and they can't allow me

to leave this precinct alive.

They can't allow any of us

to leave here alive.

Now that we all know

it's them out there.

Sarge.

Poor guy, he never had

a chance. Anyone know

if he had any family?

ALEX:
Someone's coming!

Sh*t, someone's coming!

Someone's coming.

All right. Jasper.

Hit squad, Sergeant.

They're here

for all of us.

Me?

All of us. You especially.

F*** you, dealer.

This is all your fault.

Those are your brethren

out there, old man, not mine.

Don't compare me

with your scumbag friends

out there.

lf it was up to me,

l'd kick your ass

out the door.

l'd like to see

you come try it.

Yeah, sure. You'd love

to kill another cop today,

wouldn't you?

Only you.

They'll be coming on

strong now.

Why? Why? Why are cops

coming to kill us?

They need to kill him...

before he fingers them

in court.

They need to kill us, too,

now that we know it's them.

Oh, my God.

So, here's

what we're gonna do.

We're gonna take positions

all around the precinct...

and we're gonna hold them off

until dawn.

lris, Alex, you know

how to use a firearm?

No. No.

Why don't you give me

one of them guns, Sergeant?

l'll help you fend off

the black hats.

Oh, sh*t.

Men are here.

Good.

What a f***ing mess this is.

l know.

l'm looking at this

as a matter

of simple mathematics.

lf we walk and those

eight people survive...

then 33 lives are destroyed.

The lives of my men

and their families.

People l'm responsible for.

People l....

People l love.

l don't see

any other way, Marcus.
