I'm freer here now|than I was yesterday. Right?
- Five!|- Here! Let her go!
Get out!
Wilson, you kill him,|you kill my son.
Wilson to Cassidy. I need backup now.|I'm in the ER, got the suspect.
- Don't be a hero. He has nowhere to go.|- That's right.
I've got nowhere to go.
- I'm warning you--|- He's warning me.
You're warning me.|I'm warning you, you dumb f***!
You shoot me, and I shoot her.
And Frank goes with us.
- Who's warning who?|- Wilson, lower your gun.
You will not shoot that gun.
- Go. He won't shoot.|- You sure about that?
I'll make sure.
- Lower your gun now.|- Frank, get out of the way.
Appreciate what you did for me.
If I need anything else,|I'll call you.
Stay with me.
I need help.
You gave up your gun.
I need help here.
I need some pressure on it.
Now. One, two, three.
It's okay.
- Bring him into the second bay.|- Check over there. Cover the doors.
What happened, Frank?
Talk to me. What happened?|Tell me!
We had him.|Connor let him get away.
How many people have to die tonight|so that your kid can live?
Get me out of here|before I do anything else.
I told you to stay out of it.
I want Connor locked up|until this is over.
No cuffs until you pass the press!
Sorry, Frank.
Let's go.
Matt had blood in his nose.|I think his platelets must be low.
I'm going to him now.
You tell him don't die.
Don't kill him.|Please don't kill him.
Get him out of here.
- Wait a second. Where you taking me?|- To the civic center.
Over here! It's me, Frank Connor!|I need to talk to you.
Don't believe the police.|They're lying to you.
McCabe escaped.|The police can't find him.
Office Walker will talk to you,|tell you everything you need to know.
Conner's getting away!
What's that light?
It's okay. It's the "Enterprise."
- Yeah.|- It's Hawkins.
- How's he doing?|- He's bleeding more.
Hi, Matthew.
- Hello?|- It's Frank.
- How's the bleeding?|- How is he?
He needs platelets|to help him control the bleeding.
He's fine. Hawkins is here.
They arrested you.
I escaped. Listen. You need to help me|get back into the hospital.
Nate!
Time to go, Doc.|I need you.
- Matt needs me here.|- I need you more.
No, Matt, stay down.
Why did you hit him?
They told me what an a**hole you were,|but now I know for sure.
Sometimes you don't have a choice.
Look, I just need your doc for a minute,|and I'll send her right back.
No, I want her to stay.
It's going to be okay. Hold that|on your nose. Stay in the tent.
I'll be back in a jiffy.
Where's the cyclopropane?
It's in the storage cabinet on four.|You can take my card.
Listen, I like you.
I like everything about you.
And I haven't been with a woman|since you were a virgin.
I'm trying to be a gentleman.
I'm going to ask you again.
Don't give me any more of that...
"Un, duh, here, take my card. Don't|worry about the lock code bullshit."
Or I'm going to forget my manners.
Now, where's the cyclopropane?
What do you say we go down there|and find it together?
After you.
Matt, don't touch anything.|Get inside the tent right now.
Right now. Get back inside.
- You okay?|- Yeah, I'm all right.
- It was McCabe.|- What?
He took Dr. Hawkins, Dad.
- What?|- He took Dr. Hawkins.
What's the matter?
Nothing. Where'd he take her?
He asked her where|the propane something was.
Dad, something went really wrong,|didn't it?
Yes, it did.
I'm not going to get my operation.
Hey, give me some hands.
Yes, you are. But I need you to get|some rest. I'll be back soon as I can.
- Look at me. Can I go?|- Yeah.
- Look at me. Can I go?|- Right. Go.
- Lock this door.|- All right.
Put that and two of those|in the bag.
You're going to show me|where the electrical room is.
Wait, Officer!
Hawkins, come here.
He's upstairs in the storage room.|4132. It's on the right.
He's got two tanks of cyclopropane,|one tank of liquid nitrogen.
- What is he doing with it?|- He's going to the electrical room.
Wait. I think this is yours.
Doctor, please don't call the cops.
Please?
I've got to go to the pharmacy|to get Amicar for Matt.
Thank you.
Police! Hold it right there!
This section of the hospital is locked|down. You'll have to come with us.
Hold it right there!|Hands up!
What are you going to do,|shoot me, Frank?
On your knees.
Get on your knees.
All right.
Don't shoot me. I'm hit.|I'm bleeding, Frank.
Step out!
Step out!|Let me see your hands.
All right, don't shoot me.
- Step out.|- All right.
Both hands! Both hands!
Check the generator.
The emergency lighting will kick in.|Don't panic.
Nate! Nate, can you hear me?
Nate!
Yeah. The electricity, the ventilator,|everything is out. Where are you?
Get Matt to a sterile environment.
In the infectious disease lab there is|an isolation ward. No one's there.
It's in the old building. I've seen|the plans. How do I get there?
Via the walkway on five.
There's a lock.|The code is 7-5-9-5.
I'll get the Amicar|and meet you there.
All right.|Looks like we're moving.
7-5-9-5.
Where's my dad?
He's out there somewhere.|Call him on the walkie.
Come in, Dad.
Tell him we're moving|to the old building.
Dad, the lights went out here.|Did they do out there, too?
They went out here, too.|It's kind of scary, huh?
It's not so bad.
No, not so bad. You're right.
Yeah?
- If I die--|- You're not going to die.
But if I do, do you think|I'll see Mom?
I don't know.|I don't know about that.
I don't remember her well anymore.|Is that bad?
No, that's not bad.|Things happen that way sometimes.
If I die, will you forget me?
Never. Never ever.
I'm never going|to forget you, either, Dad.
I have to go.
- Nate says to tell you we're moving.|- To the infectious disease lab.
Dad, we're going|to the infectious disease lab.
In the old building on the sixth floor.
We'll cross the walkway|on the fifth floor.
We'll meet you there, okay?|Dad, are you there?
I've got the suspect|on top of the walkway.
- I have the suspect.|- Take him.
Someone shot out our light.
Negative result.|Can't find him on five or six.
Return to the jail ward|and we'll reassemble.
Sulfuric acid.
Warden on the gate.
Tell him to open up and come out|of that booth where I can see him.
Open up the sally ports and come out|of the booth. Do whatever he says.
He's got a hypo|of sulfuric acid at my neck.
Face down on the floor.
Put your f***ing hands over your heads!|Get the f*** on the floor!
- Where do I open the cells?|- There.
- No one permitted beyond this point.|- He's suffering from renal failure.
- If he dies because you won't let me--|- There is a killer out there.
I understand you're trying to protect|me, but it's a risk I'm willing to take.
My patients need protection, too.
Give me the director right away.
If you don't get me to my patient,|he will die.
You will be personally...
and I might add,|publicly responsible.
- What are you doing?|- Matthew is in there. He needs me.
Tell me how. I'll do it.
