What?

We don't have any

viable subjects.

Why?

James isn't paralyzing

them, he's killing them.

What?

Listen, what the hell

are we gonna do?

We need her.

Her.

I'm counting on you.

I only have enough

lido for one cut.

Just do it.

Sorry.

Here.

Better?

Uh, yeah.

Oh, wait.

Uh, okay. Um

get ready for the

Lidocaine train.

I'm not five, just do it.

Attitude like that, you

are not gonna get a lollipop.

Doin' okay?

- I'm fine.

- Mm-hm.

I just hate needles.

Hey doc?

Is my incision

supposed to do this?

I didn't think so.

Sorry.

Do you know why I was so mad

when you broke up with me?

'Cause I was gonna dump you.

Do know how angry that made me?

I do actually.

Really?

Remember my sister, Jennifer?

Married the football coach.

Yeah.

Coach bishop, from alpine

state. Not tom coach bishop.

Coach bishop, what a tool.

And when you first met him,

he's like, "call

me coach bishop,"

you're like, "whatever, Tommy."

I almost objected

during their wedding.

I would have, too, if

you hadn't stopped me.

Stand up, objection.

Sustained.

Wedding dismissed.

Sorry.

Well, Jen finally got her

divorce papers together,

but coach served her first.

He divorced her, after

all the arrests,

the rehab, the...

The driving naked through

the in-n-out drive-thru.

- Yeah, exactly.

- Yeah.

Wow.

Yeah, wow.

Uh, he, uh, served her at work.

She's a school teacher.

Second grade.

If you ever did

that to me, I would kill you.

I believe you.

Don't patronize me, I'm serious.

I would never doubt

your sincerity.

Ever.

I'm so sorry I hurt you.

Don't do it again.

How's the pap smear goin', huh?

He's so holistic.

Come on, I got

somethin' to show you.

James Ross.

That's his name.

Can you pull up any

surveillance video?

No, there's only a few cameras.

It's weird.

It's like, like the power was

cut from inside the building.

There has to be someone

helping from the outside.

Why do you say that?

The fire alarm went

off right when

I had James under control.

That could be a coincidence.

Then where are the firetrucks,

and why isn't the alarm

still going off?

Okay, good point.

I also uploaded a bunch

of files, today,

for Legro, and they all

had crick's name on them.

I'm gonna try look at those.

Why, what's the point of that?

Because Legro was

killed on a day

when he uploaded

files for crick.

Cop shows call it a motive.

Let's go.

Everett, wait.

Take this in case

you get a signal,

and don't break it.

They only give me one.

Wait.

Be careful.

We will, thanks.

Oh baby.

I'll meet you back here.

Yeah. Wait.

No, sorry.

Okay.

F***.

Sarah?

Sarah?

Ah! Oh, Jesus, Marie!

What are you doing here?

I'm so glad it's you, I

That thing attacked

me up in the lab,

and I came down here and hid.

How have you survived?

I haven't survived yet.

Sarah, Sarah?

Sh*t.

Sarah.

Where does that lead to?

Nowhere, uh, that's a dead end,

you don't wanna go that way.

Um, listen, you and I should

stick together, you know?

It's like

there's safety in numbers.

For me or for you?

Always with that dry wit.

Sorry.

I think Everett and our dying

patient are eager to leave.

Everett.

Everett, he's here?

Yeah, why?

Uh, nothin', I'm just,

I'm glad he's safe.

Okay.

Wait. Hey, Marie.

Let me ask you somethin'.

What do you see in him?

Excuse me?

You're smart, you're beautiful,

you're hard working,

and he dumped you.

You know, I'd never do that.

This conversation's over.

Don't walk away from me!

B*tch!

Oh, sh*t.

Sh*t.

Wow, you actually

can produce tears.

I owe Marie five bucks.

You little sh*t!

You didn't even check my pulse?

I thought that you were dead!

I was expecting mouth

to mouth, at least.

Gross.

Faking your death is a

shitty thing to do,

I'll let you know.

Like telling everyone

to let a young girl

die in front of you?

No.

That wasn't right.

I suck.

At least you're honest.

I got back into Legro's account.

You hacked into Legro's account?

No comment.

Oh my god.

James Ross's medical records.

He had surgery to

get rid of a mole,

then it got infected,

three surgeries.

What is trigeminal neuralgia?

It's an inflamed cranial

nerve in your face.

It's so painful they call

it the suicide disease.

No wonder you two hit it off.

That must be why he

wears that mask.

Click there, Katherine Ross.

Must be his mother.

Oh my god.

Let's just, um,

change it so we can

watch the security cams

for Everett and Marie.

Marie?

Help me, quick.

What the hell happened?

Pull the needle out.

How'd you get this needle in

your hip in the first place?

Just pull the god

damn needle out!

Ginny.

Got it.

James, I know about your mother.

Katherine Ross.

No!

He has to disarm the bomb.

What bomb?

Disarm the bomb.

Disarm the bomb!

Why are you doing this?

Is this all because of your mom?

Get us out of here.

He can't.

- What?

We're locked in by someone else.

Come here, look at this.

- What are you talking about?

- Look at this!

What?

Oh. No, it can't be.

Hold on, there's more.

You didn't know, did you?

Let me see you, James.

Sorry.

It's okay.

It's all right, James.

It's all right, it's okay.

It's all right, it's all right.

It's all right.

It's all right.

Sarah!

Sarah?

Is that where your

dad is, James?

Is that where he is?

Doctor crick, doctor

crick, are you up there?

What's he doin' there?

Hmm?

What's Everett doin' here?

I don't know.

- We gotta get him outta there, man.

- Whoa.

Come on, we gotta

get finish that.

- Here.

- No, no, no, we can't.

- Let's go. -Are you,

listen, I'm not gonna...

No! Listen to me.

I'm not f***in' around with you.

Hey, hey, hey!

Listen to me, we're

not gonna risk

- everything to save Everett.

- Look!

- Alex.

- Look!

- Alex, listen to me.

- What's the matter with you?

- Nothing's wrong with me. Alex, listen to me.

- I want him outta there.

- Alex.

- I want him outta there now.

- I'm not gonna risk everything

to save Everett. -I'm serious.

Alex, we can't risk everything to save him.

We don't need him.

Stop talking about everything, everything.

I want him outta there.

- Listen to me.

- Stop it!

We don't need him!

- Would you help me get Everett out...

- no, f*** Everett!

You listen to me.

You go get him.

Son of a b*tch.

Look, look.

That's one hell

of a side effect.

I'm not doin' it.

Do the right thing.

Do it.

Oh, sh*t.

This has to be done,

but i... god dammit.

Sarah?

Her pulse is weak, Sarah.

Here we go, here we go.

- Come on.

- Come on.

Sarah, come on.

Ginny!

Clear her out of door!

Oh god, Ginny.

Ginny.

Ginny, come on.

I'm sorry.

How is she?

We have to go.

We have to go!

Everett!

Let's take the stairs.

Let's go.

Come on.

Let's go this way.

Come on.

Come on, Sarah.

It's blocked here.

Step back, step back.

F***!

Okay, watch out for the glass.

Stand back in the corner.

You go first, I'll

go, you come first.

Come on.

Come on, Sarah.

Come on. Come on.

Keep coming.
