we still have no idea

who we're looking for.

Yeah, we do.

Caucasian male, 6 feet tall,

30-35, brown hair with a beard.

Start looking for him.

Yes, sir.

I need your assistance.

De Luca.

okay.

Yeah, okay, I'm on my way!

He had a heart attack.

Probably caused by

thrombosis due to the burns.

He's stable for now but, uh...

His blood levels

dropped dangerously low.

He could have

another thrombosis...

or an embolism.

And this time,

it could be fatal.

My son is gonna live

longer than you and me.

- Understood?

- Yeah.

We have a conversation

to finish. Get in.

I can't.

What about my bike

and my things?

Nobody's gonna

steal your sh*t.

Get in the car.

Get in the car.

Come on!

I swear I've told you

everything I know!

I'm not protecting him!

Please, sir!

What do you want?

I wanna talk.

Here?

Get out of the car.

okay, cuff yourself to that.

What for?

Do it.

I swear

I won't run away, sir.

I'll tell you

whatever you want!

Come on.

I told you not to lie to me.

I didn't lie! I swear

I was telling the truth!

You told me you didn't

know who he was.

I don't!

He came by my house.

But I've never seen him before!

okay-

I'll give you one more shot.

Do you wanna know

how my son feels?

Please, sir!

- Where is he?

- I don't know!

I swear!

You motherf***er!

No! No! No!

You thought you were gonna

get away, motherf***er?

What happened?

Oh, my God!

What are you doing? I have

to take him to the hospital!

And look at him!

Let me go..

In 5 minutes he will be dead,

and I won't be able to help him.

So keep quiet and don't move.

What are you doing?

You..

Oh, my God.

I need an ambulance.

My son has been in an accident!

20905 Anderson Drive.

He's dying, please send

someone right away!

What are you doing?

Are you insane?

Leave my son alone!

I'm begging you!

Please, hurry up!

Please!

Please, please.

Sweetie, hold on.

The ambulance is on its...

The ambulance is on its way.

My love, sweetie, please.

What happened to Ana?

Is he your son?

Get out of my house!

Get out!

Hold on.

I'm really sorry, Monica,

but I still don't understand.

How could this happen to him?

He probably wasn't looking.

And when he lit the match,

the can exploded.

Monica, Peter has burns

of different degrees

on different parts of his body.

Are you absolutely certain

this was an accident?

He's always been so reckless.

Alright. I'll come back later

to see how he's doing.

- Thank you.

- okay.

Is Peter Ana's son?

What are you

doing here again?

She was my wife.

I need to know what happened.

If she was your wife,

then you should know.

She was running away from you.

What happened?

Good morning, Ana.

Would you like me to take him?

Yes, please.

Goodbye, my love. Don't worry,

she'll take care of you.

Should I close the curtains?

No, I'd like to

watch the sunrise.

okay-

Nobody knew

what happened to her.

Ana wasn't normal,

she... she was sick.

I know, but Peter...

was born healthy.

He's not a danger to anyone.

How do you know that?

Because he's my son!

The only danger here is you.

Goddamn kid.

I don't know

how you made it out alive

or where the f***

you came from,

but your life is gonna

end in this f***ing cell.

What you did to Caleb

is nothing compared

to what I'm gonna do

to your sorry ass.

You hear me,

you piece of sh*t?

Send my regards to your son.

Motherf***er!

I'll kill you right now.

Then what are

you waiting for?

Everything okay?

Yeah.

Everything's fine.

Friendly little chat,

that's all.

Quit breathing down

my neck, Harris.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom?

Sweetie, how are you feeling?

Better.

Morning, Monica.

- Hi, Sonia.

- Hi.

Looks like we're

feeling better today, Peter.

We're gonna change the

bandages on your arms, okay?

Can you lift your arm

up a little for me?

That's good.

Something's not right here.

It's been less than 12 hours.

No. No. Don't touch it,

it can get infected.

It's okay, Mom.

It doesn't hurt anymore.

Doesn't hurt at all.

Wait, let me help you.

Oh my God.

Are you ready?

No, not really.

Just bring whatever

you need right now.

We can pick up the rest later.

We can't come back, Mom.

We'll have to see about that.

Hurry up; we can still make

the 11 o'clock bus, okay?

okay-

May I help you, sir?

Yes, what happened to the boy

who was in this bed?

- Did he die?

- No, he was discharged.

- You sure?

- Yes.

He left this morning.

It was a miracle.

Come on.

What's happening?

Sorry.

Thank you!

- F***!

- F***.

Don't stop!

Please!

He's trying to kill us.

Please don't stop the bus.

[Elm

Hey. I'm looking

for two passengers.

How did you heal so fast?

What did they do to you?

I just wanna help my son.

Please.

Just tell me.

Please, or he's going to die.

Please tell me.

What the f*** did you do?

- No! Leave him alone.

- You stay here!

m!

- Stop!

- Tell me!

- Stop!

- Tell me what you did,

or I'll kill him right here.

- No. Don't tell him anything.

- You shut the f*** up.

He'll kill us anyway.

If you talk...

I'll let you go.

No, Mom.

No.

Swear you'll let us go.

You have my word.

We should take

the sample at the hospital.

No,

we can't let him out.

We gotta do it here.

Lieutenant,

you can't take a blood sample

without a court order.

You know that.

I told you to

get off my back, Harris.

I'm sorry, sir, but I may have

to call the chief on this one.

You go over my head on this

and you have no idea

what's in the store for you.

Understood?

Alright, boys, go ahead.

I got this.

Come on.

Ah! No!

No! No! No!

Go ahead.

Please, don't do...

Please, don't do this.

Please, don't do this.

Please, don't do this.

Please, don't...

Please, don't.

You have no idea

of what you're doing.

This is extremely contagious.

Please, don't do this.

- Go on.

- No. No!

No, don't touch my blood.

[Elm

The blood needs

to be blessed.

No. No. No.

[Elm

No.

Shut him the hell up.

Hang in there, Caleb.

Hold on,

everything's gonna be alright.

Keep going.

I don't know, man, he's

been acting really weird lately.

I understand his

kid's hurt and all

but he doesn't have to

be a jerk to everyone.

No.

Wait.

Easy.

Take it easy.

Take a deep breath

and lie down.

I'm calling your father.

He should be here.

What's happening?

What the f***?

I feel better.

Grey Mountain,

second precinct.

Calm... calm down, sir.

Where are you?

118..

okay, we'll send somebody

down there right..

Are you sure it was him?

Ben, get the chief

down here immediately.

- Tell him it's urgent.

- okay. Come with me.

okay.

Can you describe him for me?

Yeah, yeah.

Oh my God.

Wash up, and get rid

of those clothes.

What happened?

Where is she?

Let me go!

Mom!

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Caleb?

Where you think you're going?

To find the motherf***er

that did this to me.

okay-

Calm down.

We have to go before anyone

comes looking for you.

I don't care.

Listen, Caleb...

Sh*t.

Close all the access

roads too, okay?

Nobody can get through.
