COLE:
Ahhh!

Hey.

My man Taylor, in the truck, is he...

He's dead. I'm sorry.

We don't have a signal down here.

I'll call it in from the ambulance.

- Mind bringing the gurney down, too?

- You gonna be all right?

It's not my first time

treating a gang-banger.

Go. Go, go, go.

(ENGINE REVVING)

ALONZO:
Let's check the theme park.

DEACON:
Alonzo, over there!

What the hell is

an ambulance doing here?

The park is closed.

You think it's for our guy?

Let's find out.

It's locked.

ALONZO:
Where the f*** is he?

DEACON:
This could be for anyone, man.

Hey, check it out.

DEACON:
That's from

the truck that did the hit.

Look.

You want me to call Vincent?

ALONZO:
Screw Vincent.

I'm running this.

- I'll call him when it's done!

- All right, yo.

Murphy, you cover the stairs.

Deacon, mount up.

This son of a b*tch dies tonight!

(DEACON YELLS)

Sh*t.

DISPATCHER:
911, what's your emergency?

Jake Carter, Medic 274.

Go ahead...

(PHONE BEEPS) Hello?

Damn it!

Take the far ramp, I'll take this one.

We gotta go! We gotta go, right now!

ZOE:
What are you talking about?

Some biker gang just turned up.

Said they're gonna kill him!

COLE:
F***. Did you inform dispatch?

Nah. Couldn't get to the ambulance.

ZOE:
Do you know these people?

Are they really gonna try and kill you?

Yeah. We should go.

Okay, okay, let's move.

Help me get him up.

Okay. Where are they coming from?

JAKE:
Down the ramps.

- ZOE:
Okay. We'll take the stairs.

- No, no.

They got 'em covered. Get him in

the truck. It's our best chance.

Breathe. Breathe.

JAKE:
In the bed. You got him?

I got him, I got him,

I got him. Whoa, whoa!

In you go. Watch it.

Okay, easy.

- Put pressure on your wound, Cole?

- COLE:
Yeah, yeah.

ZOE:
Put as much pressure on

your wound as you can, okay?

Door, watch it. Door.

Whoa!

Just a precaution.

(ENGINE REVS)

(TIRES SCREECHING)

ZOE:
Cole, look at me.

Look at me. Pressure on the wound, okay?

You're doing great.

Sh*t.

(TIRES SCREECHING)

Get your head down!

(ZOE GASPS)

- Are you okay?

- I'm okay.

Just get us the hell out of here!

This truck's wasted, we

gotta find another way up.

It's the same truck. Two medics

and the guy in the back.

(ENGINE REVVING)

Get to the elevator!

Get yourself on this side!

Come on, let's go.

Come on.

It's not working!

JAKE:
Stairwell, next level up!

Go!

Get in after 'em, I'll cut 'em off.

Go, go, go.

ALONZO:
The hell you doing?

This is where they came out, man.

ALONZO:
Two paramedics and

one wounded guy outran you?

Come on, man. Check the

whole damn stairwell.

(GRUNTS)

Behind the column. Behind the column.

Set him down.

F***.

We found him.

Anybody come up?

Nope.

DEACON:
Whoa, whoa, whoa!

They're not in the stairwell.

Maybe they got out another way.

No. There's no other exits.

And there's no signal down there,

so they can't call the cops.

You want me to get some back up?

No. We've got 'em trapped.

Hey. Hey.

We're okay now.

They're gone.

Okay. Okay.

I didn't get a chance

to administer morphine

because our kit's in the truck,

and his pulse is racing like a

jackhammer. He's going into shock.

We need to get him to a

trauma surgeon, right now.

(COLE BREATHING HEAVILY)

Why are these guys after you?

I told you.

We just rolled up in the wrong hood.

They jumped us.

Rolled up in the wrong

hood with a machine gun?

Sure.

You got hit in a gunfight and

dragged us down here to save you.

Cops don't show up for heart attacks.

Who'd you kill?

- What does it matter?

- What does it matter?

I want to know how far these guys

will go to see this through.

Who did you kill?

The head of this biker gang.

Their leader. Rodrigo.

Look, I was forced to, I had no choice.

I didn't even pull the trigger.

I just drove the truck.

They're not going anywhere, are they?

DEACON:
Hell yeah.

(ENGINE WHIRRING)

(DEACON LAUGHING)

And the good Lord said,

"Let there be light."

And what about the cell phones?

Look, if they get up here,

they can still call the cops.

There's a cell tower 10 blocks east.

If we knock that out, we have

them on total lock-down.

Do it.

Hey, man, my bike's still down there.

Well, take her bike.

Right on.

Elevator's still out. Must be

on a different power supply.

Okay. We can take the stairs

and make it to the park.

We'll never get past them,

especially carrying him.

ALONZO:
Yo, paramedics!

We ain't playing no more hide and seek.

And we ain't leaving neither.

Not till you give me that clown

you've got hiding down there!

You have three minutes to hand him over,

or we're coming down to kill you.

Your choice.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

Hey. Hey, hey, hey.

This can't be happening.

This is crazy.

- I'll work this out.

- Work what out?

Look, he's been hemorrhaging

blood for at least an hour.

He's lost probably 10% already.

- I can stabilize him.

- With what?

Look, we don't have the equipment.

He needs a blood transfusion.

Carter, there's nothing

more that we can do.

We're not handing him over.

You know, I can hear you.

When did we last contact dispatch?

- 1:
50 AM.

- So that's 40 minutes ago.

If we don't respond

in the next 20 minutes,

they'll send a cop car

to our last location, right?

- That's protocol.

- Okay.

So we find a place to hide, and

hole up till they get here.

That maintenance door, we'll

be out of sight in there.

We need our kit to stabilize him,

or he's not gonna make it.

I'll get the kit from the

truck, you get him to the door.

Look, if we do this,

it's gonna be cops coming.

Do you understand?

I just wanna see my baby girl again.

Okay. Let's do this.

(GRUNTING)

(ZOE SHUSHING)

Okay. Let's go. Yeah. Yeah. I got him.

I got him. Let's go.

Don't stop.

DISPATCHER:
(OVER RADIO)

Medic 274, come in.

Come on, guys. What's the

status of that Code 3?

Pick up the radio, Zoe, or it's your ass

if I have to haul in a black-and-white.

Sh*t.

We need to find 'em, right now!

Check the stairs! Go!

Alonzo.

Get down there and flush them out.

Don't move!

Show me your hands.

I'm just a medic.

You don't have to do this.

I said, show me your hands!

(COUGHS, GASPS)

(GRUNTS)

Don't do it. Don't...

(GRUNTS)

We're nearly there.

Nearly there.

(ENGINE REVVING)

Okay.

- Behind the pillar.

- Behind the pillar. F***.

COLE:
He's coming back around.

Cole...

Can you make it to the door by yourself?

Yeah. Yeah.

- I'll create a diversion.

- No. Wait.

Jake! Jake, help!

Jake! Jake!

(YELLS)

(GRUNTS)

- Where's Zoe?

- They got her.

Sh*t.

Hey, hey, hey, hey. You think I

could get something for the pain?

Please. Please, man.

(GRUNTING)

DISPATCHER:
274, again,

what's your status?

Well, you're just in time.

Get off your ass.

DISPATCHER:
274, report immediately.

Open it up and tell them you're okay.

I don't have the key.

Come on, you guys.

I need you to check in.

Tell them you're okay.

Zoe, I'm getting really tired of this.

Is it worth dying for?

- Tell them.

- That's it.

I'm sending in a black and white.
