Extreme Measures Page #6

- Bullshit!

- They don't believe you.

- You're dead!

Listen to me for f***'s sake!

I'm on my own. I'm not killing anyone!

I'm here because whoever did kill Claude

has also f***ed up my life.

Is Teddy here?

If Teddy is here and he's sick,

you have to let me see him.

He's here.

- How long has he been like this?

- Four days.

They found him at the steam pipes,

trying to make his way here.

His fever, is it up and down? Pulse?

We stopped trying to count.

What are they doing to all these people?

What do you mean, "all these people"?

Claude and Teddy?

And the others.

What others?

Gramercy. That's where we all go.

What are you talking about?

He knows!

And this motherf***er's in on it.

A runner's missing from The Condo.

A guy from the train yards.

A woman came through

looking for her son.

They take the strong ones.

They take men. Why?

That's why they do the lab tests.

Who's "they"?

Yes, that's why they do the lab tests.

Someone's looking for healthy subjects.

Why us?

They think you won't be missed.

So did Teddy say anything?

Who found him?

He never said nothing.

He was just laying there,

twitching and bleeding.

- He's bleeding?

- His back is all f***ed up.

I thought someone knifed him.

I wanna turn him over. Give me a hand.

On three. Two...

...three.

Jesus Christ.

They're playing with healthy spines.

Someone's cut...

- Okay, hold him.

- What's wrong with him?

- I don't know. How far is it to the street?

- Why?

- He needs a hospital now.

- We take care of him.

He is crashing, understand?

If we don't get him on an IV, he'll die.

Let's start by putting that body down...

...and getting your hands out

where I can see them.

Put the stretcher down.

I'm Special Agent Hare,

Federal Bureau of Investigation.

This is Detective Burke of the NYPD.

Get your hands above your heads

and come forward.

We got a sick man.

We're getting him to the hospital.

Maybe you didn't hear me.

I heard you. I heard you.

What's the FBI doing here?

We're working a kidnapping.

Have you seen anyone back there?

No, we ain't seen nobody down here, man.

It's just us.

This man is dying here.

You've got a radio. Call for help.

Radios don't work here.

Come on, Doc. Move it.

We don't have all day.

How'd you know I was a doctor?

Sh*t! They're gonna kill us!

They're gonna kill us!

Oh, no. I ain't got no beef with you guys.

Talk to me, Frank.

Get going. All the way back.

- I'm homeless.

- Keep your hands up.

Move.

Move!

You stay right where you are!

If you want me out of here,

just say the word and I'm gone.

Just take it easy. Frank.

Sh*t!

Jesus.

Bob!

You son of a b*tch.

He's getting away! Let's go.

Come on, Bob! Get going! Move!

Frank, you gotta help me!

Come back!

Get me out of here!

Hey, what are you doing?

Dispatch.

Dispatch. Twenty-nine to dispatch.

We got a man on the line. He's armed.

Judith? It's Guy.

Can you hear me?

If you can hear me, please pick up.

Please pick up. I know it's late.

I've been shot.

You've gotta help me.

This whole thing, it's real.

There are three men dead back there.

I swear, it's huge. Judith, please pick up!

They hijack people from the hospital

and use them for research.

Triphase is a research program...

...and someone at Gramercy

is working for them.

Listen, there's a cop called Stone.

Call him, he might believe me.

I have to talk to you.

Are you all right?

Hey, you're bleeding!

- Who is it?

- It's Guy Luthan.

You know what time it is?

Yeah, I know. I'm sorry. I just...

- It's 4:
00 a. m. What do you want?

- The staff logs, did you...

What did you say?

Jodie, please. This is really important.

You have to be quiet. My brother's asleep.

My God, what happened?

I'm okay.

Oh, my God. That's a gunshot.

It's okay. It looks worse than it is.

- You're walking around like this?

- Yeah...

...I can't go home.

What happened?

It doesn't matter.

I can prove this whole thing now.

Listen.

You'll come in

and you'll be quiet, all right?

This has to be looked at. Jesus.

You're losing a lot of blood.

Where did this happen?

It's okay. No one knows I'm here.

No one followed me.

Sh*t.

It's okay.

Someone's here.

What's going on?

It's Dr. Luthan from work,

from the hospital. It's okay.

What happened?

He was shot.

Take your coat off.

The staff logs, are they still there?

And?

We'll talk about that later.

You're in shock. You need to sit down.

Here. Take your shirt off.

Hold this there. Put pressure on it,

and I'll get a first-aid kit.

I'll be back.

So tell me about Triphase.

I didn't even take lunch.

I stopped for five minutes

and there's six interns...

...watching TV, eating popcorn.

And you've been running all day long.

Tell me about it.

What do you know?

You better get his doctor.

I'm on it.

- He's coming around?

- Yes.

You can go.

Can you hear me?

My name is Dr. Mingus.

You're in the Acute Care Ward

at Riverside Hospital.

You were found five days ago

by the boat basin in Central Park.

You'd been shot.

You lost a great deal of blood.

You've been in a coma until today.

We didn't know who you were till today.

We contacted your family.

Your brother is flying in

tomorrow morning.

I need to talk to the police.

Sure. As soon as you're stabilized.

I can't move.

The gunshot...

As I said, you lost blood. But we have

other problems to look at now.

Why can't I move?

I have some tough news, Guy.

Listen to me very carefully.

Can you do that?

You sustained a serious blow

to your upper back.

There was a severe cervical fracture

of the sixth vertebra.

Somehow...

...we're not quite sure...

...your spinal cord...

...was cut.

At the moment, you're paralyzed

from the neck down.

We did everything we could.

I'm terribly sorry.

Guy, listen to me.

This is not the end of your life.

Not by any means.

I know it's hard to accept,

but you'll learn to do things...

...that you wouldn't believe possible

right now.

You're going to have a different life,

that's for sure...

...but it can still be a great life

and a fulfilling life, believe me.

Whenever you feel ready,

you can meet with our counseling people.

We have an amazing program here.

Please...

...leave me alone.

I'll look in on you later.

Dr. Luthan?

Guy.

It's Dr. Myrick.

I came over as soon as I heard.

Dr. Mingus was a student of mine.

I've seen your chart. It's a terrible thing.

I'd like to try to help.

If you want to help me...

...let me die.

That's a common request.

Please.

Four hundred of potassium chloride

in my IV.

What if there was hope?

There isn't.

What if there was hope?

What would it be worth...

...to be able to walk again,

to be able to feed yourself?

To go back to your old life?

To be a doctor.

What would you endure?

What are you talking about?

I'm asking you a question.

What would that be worth?

I can't live like this.

With proper care...

...you can live 20 years like this.

What would you do?

What would you risk...
