(ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)

(ENGINE REVVING)

Slipped through the cracks

Down to the floor

This is the reason

Honey, I'm calling for more

Shot into space

You're like a ghost in the dark

I don't think so

Baby, forevermore

I got the place

If you got the time

Set 'em up in the streets now

And knock 'em all down

Like an eraser

I'm rubbing hard

I play for keeps now, honey

I'm not getting out

Oh, I got the noose

If you got the heart

Taking you downtown, honey

Back to the start

Oh, I got the noose

You got the heart

Taking you downtown, honey

Oh, I got the noose

You got the heart

Taking you downtown, honey

Oh, I got the noose

You got the heart

(EXHALES)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(EXHALES)

Keep it tight, man.

This will be over soon.

(MOTORCYCLE ENGINE REVVING)

TAYLOR:
Man, that's not him.

I owe you 150 bucks.

So, I'm talking about an extra $150.

So what more can I get for that?

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Jokers driving wild

Some motherf***er

(SONG CONTINUES INDISTINCTLY)

Guys.

What's up, Deacon?

What up?

Yeah.

WOMAN:
Where you going, baby?

Yo.

- Hey!

- Hey!

MAN:
There he is.

- WOMAN:
Not tonight.

- Come on...

Alonzo. What's up, baby? Whoo!

- Hey, prospect.

- What's up, Boo?

Where's Rodrigo?

VINCENT:
He's on his way.

You ain't with him?

Vice President's business is at the bar.

Come on, baby.

Ain't that right, little brother?

Damn right.

For the Legion.

ALL:
Yeah!

That's him. Let's go.

Rodrigo!

Let's go. Let's go!

(MEN CLAMORING)

- COLE:
Sh*t!

- Come on! Come on!

- MAN 1:
What was that?

- MAN 2:
Let's go.

(TIRES SQUEALING)

(GROANS)

(GROANING IN PAIN)

MAN 3:
We're going after them!

Get the guns!

MAN 4:
Re-stack!

(ENGINE REVVING)

We'll avenge this.

I promise you.

(ENGINES REVVING)

(SIRENS WAILING)

- What do we got?

- One female about 30.

Crane was lifting bricks onto the roof,

but some a**hole overloaded

it, one of the chains broke.

Half the load landed on her car.

She's conscious but trapped.

He the a**hole?

Yeah.

If another one of those chains

goes, whole load'll come down.

It's way too dangerous

to go in right now.

We're waiting on FD to secure it

before anyone tries to get to her out.

- ZOE:
Where are they?

- En route, three minutes.

Hey, sweetie.

We're the ambulance crew.

I'm Zoe, this is Jake.

What's your name?

- Ana.

- ZOE:
Stay with us.

We're gonna have you out of there

as soon as possible. Okay?

My legs are trapped,

I can't get out, I can't move.

We gotta get her out of there.

No one goes in till the

fire department gets here.

(SCREAMING)

Hey, you got a car jack?

Don't even think about it, Jake.

Give me your car jack.

Come on, hurry up.

Let's go, let's go, let's go.

Those bricks could fall down any second.

Be ready when I get her out.

As soon as I free her legs,

she'll start losing BP.

Jake! Jake!

SERGEANT:
Captain ain't gonna like this.

Sh*t.

(CREAKING)

Hey, Ana. How you doing? What do

you say we get you outta here?

Just gonna put this car jack

underneath the steering column.

It will release some pressure

off your legs, okay?

(SCREAMING)

- Ana, Ana, Ana.

- (WAILING) Oh, my God.

Hey, no, no, no.

Oh, my God, I'm gonna die.

JAKE:
No, you're not. No, you're not.

No, you're not.

Look at me. Look at me. Look

at me, everything is okay.

Everything is okay. Everything is okay.

We're nearly there.

We're almost there.

One, two...

- Jake!

- ...three.

Come on.

(GRUNTING)

Get out of there!

JAKE:
We got her!

- Get her on the gurney.

- Her artery is cut right through.

She's in shock.

ZOE:
She's lost too much blood already.

We're losing her.

JAKE:
Not yet. Not yet.

Come on. No pulse.

Ana. Ana.

(EKG FLAT-LINING)

Everybody give us some space.

- MAN:
Folks, clear back for her.

- Clear back.

(MACHINE WHIRRING)

ZOE:
Clear.

JAKE:
Sergeant, take over.

Come on.

Jake, I'm calling it.

Not yet.

Jake, she's gone.

Come on, Ana!

Come on!

You wanna tell me what's going

through your head back there?

- You could have been killed.

- I had to do something.

What you have to do is make sure

you go home alive at

the end of every shift.

Look, I get it. It's

different in the Marines.

"We'll never leave a man

behind," and all of that.

But there are thousands more out there

who are gonna need your help...

And I can't do that if I'm dead, right?

Right.

Yeah.

Don't rush it. It's

your first day on the job.

(TIRES SCREECHING)

(COLE BREATHING HEAVILY)

(CELL PHONE BEEPING)

DISPATCHER:
911, what's your emergency?

I... I need help.

JAKE:
So, you know everything about me?

I know all about your military career.

Sergeant in the Marines,

two tours in Afghanistan,

and a Bronze Star for

displaying unwavering courage

in the face of the enemy.

And a very short engagement

in private security,

and now you're an EMT.

DISPATCHER:

Medic 274, we've got a Code 3

at the Great Peaks Amusement Park.

Ten-four, on our way.

(SIREN WAILING)

DISPATCHER:
Male says,

he's having a heart attack.

He's inside the parking lot.

How old?

That's all we got.

The hell knows what

he's doing down there,

the park is closed until summer.

(SIREN BLARING)

Make a right on 120th, right there.

Place is like a ghost town.

Give it a few weeks.

This place will be crawling

with families and children.

Over there. Parking lot's right there.

(SIGHS) We're not gonna fit.

It's a 6.6" restriction,

and we're 8.4".

Dispatch, this is Medic 274.

DISPATCHER:
274, go ahead.

Are you sure that

he's in the parking lot?

That's what he said.

Okay. Well, we're not gonna fit,

so we're proceeding on foot.

Roger, 274.

- Prank call?

- Most likely.

Still gotta check.

Gate's broken.

Someone was in a hurry.

ZOE:
Hello? EMS!

Ambulance!

Anybody here?

(SIGHS)

Come on, Carter. You any

good at hide and seek?

JAKE:
(ECHOING)

Hello.

ZOE:
Anybody down here?

Why would someone drive down

here with a heart attack?

It had to be a prank.

- Let's go.

- Wait.

You hear that?

(ENGINE RUNNING)

It's a car.

JAKE:
EMS! You call for an ambulance?

Anybody in the truck?

Bullet holes.

We got someone.

Your side.

(TURNS OFF ENGINE)

He's dead.

You think he called 911?

Why would he climb

in the passenger seat?

There's someone else down here.

Hey. We're EMS. Ambulance.

(GUN C*CKS)

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Easy, easy, easy, Jake.

You hurt? You call 911?

Put that down! Okay?

We're here to help you.

(GROANING)

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

- What's your name?

- Cole.

ZOE:
Do you wanna tell us

what's going on?

We got called to a heart attack.

Is that you?

No cops. Please. Please.

(GROANING)

JAKE:
GSW. Large exit wound

in the abdomen.

(WHIMPERS)

Small entry hole in the lower back.

You wanna tell us what happened?

Look, we were just rolling

through the wrong hood,

and some gang came and cut us up.

You just happen to be holding a

gun for your own protection.

Didn't do anything, huh?

Look, man, please, no cops.

I'm gonna call this in.
