The name's grown on me.

Is he okay?

He's okay, yeah.

-His wife's here to see him.

-He hasn't got a wife.

-Where's the RUC officer?

-I don't know where he is.

Did you tell her what room he's in?

This is against my orders.

Well, he won't last the night

if he stops here.

He has a deep internal cut,

a fractured jaw, a severe concussion...

and several broken ribs.

Just pray this is a 9-lives situation.

So this is pretty cozy for a safe house.

It's my house.

So, Dean,

I hope you have a plan.

Well, Lara still doesn't know you're alive.

I've negotiated a deal with Scotland Yard.

Call Lara.

See if she'll like the idea

of getting married in Scotland.

You know, you look me in the eye, okay...

and you tell me what kind

of life you think she'd have.

No hope, no friends, no community.

Always looking over our shoulder,

scared to death for them kids.

I can't do it.

I really can't do it. I won't do it.

You know, I thought

I was saving lives.

A superhero.

Do you ever see your kid?

He's... he's got a lot going on

right now.

Okay, let's go.

Oh, my God.

Help...

Help!

Call an ambulance!

Stay awake. Help is coming.

Do you have family?

Who should I call?

Dean. Dean McTear.

Dean McTear.

-He's family?

-Yeah. Dean McTear.
