00:00:-19,-960 --> 00:00:-19,-25.
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:20,Hold on!

00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,S. F.P.D.

00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,Okay, go ahead.

00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,Come on, baby.

00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,Here you go.

00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:14,Yes! We're in.

00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:23,This is our last shot.

00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,Should've tried this six weeks ago
instead of wasting time...

00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,with those television appeals.

00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,Now we go finer.

00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,If they all go away, we're finished.

00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:46,Don't even think about it.

00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,We g***t one! We g***t one!

00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,Don't make a sound.

00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:01,Thank you.

00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:08,Oh, man.

00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,He crushed his cell mate's legs, so they
put him in solitary through the year.

00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,He's the real thing.

00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:24,No formal education beyond the ninth
grade, but he has an IQ of over 150.

00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,I appreciate what
you're doing for me.

00:05:26,280 --> 00:05:28,McCabe has escaped twice.

00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,Second time he took
two guards hostage.

00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,Buried them alive,
used their uniforms and l.D.s.

00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,If he'd done it two years later, they
would've put him in the gas chamber.

00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:38,Jesus!

00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,This is a mistake, Frank.

00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:47,I have no choice.

00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,McCabe!

00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:02,McCabe!

00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,You have a visitor.
Get dressed.

00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,I have to warn you not just about
the physical danger...

00:06:55,840 --> 00:06:58,because he's already killed one prisoner
and crippled another.

00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,Also, McCabe is very sharp.

00:07:01,280 --> 00:07:03,He likes to f***k with you.

00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,Frank Connor.

00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,You know why I'm here.

00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,My son has leukemia.

00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,He will die
without a bone marrow transplant.

00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,He's only nine years old.

00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,And somehow, somehow...

00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,I've been identified
as a compatible donor...

00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,for your son.

00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,I was told you volunteered.

00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:04,We're through here.

00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:07,Officers!

00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,You lied to me, Frank.

00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,You were identified by a computer match.

00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:20,I broke into the FBI computer system.
I violated state and federal statutes.

00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,Grounds for dismissal
from the police force.

00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:24,Right?

00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,That's right.
Give me a shot.

00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,What's the problem?

00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:32,No problem.

00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,My mistake.

00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,I went through all the other registries,
and there's nobody.

00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,You're our last chance.

00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,- What do I get out of it?
- You get to save my son's life.

00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,Why do I care about your son's life?

00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:02,** I supposed to find redemption
in the eyes of God?

00:09:02,680 --> 00:09:05,Do you want redemption?

00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,You think I do?

00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,You brought it up.

00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,Don't try to get inside my head,
Frank.

00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:23,If I want you in,
I'll send you an invitation.

00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,Sorry. I thought
you were opening a door.

00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:27,I killed...

00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,a lady in a hat, a guy in a store.

00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,That was real.

00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:35,That happened.
I did it.

00:09:36,680 --> 00:09:39,But I cannot make myself
feel bad about it.

00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,I cannot imagine a god who would care.

00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,I put my faith in the power
of my own mind.

00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,Which is all I own
after half a life of incarceration.

00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,I can appreciate that.

00:09:50,680 --> 00:09:52,Really?

00:09:53,680 --> 00:09:57,Then maybe you can appreciate
my amusement...

00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,at the irony, that now...

00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:06,after all those years being locked up,
I'm given the opportunity to kill again.

00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,Cop's kid, at that.

00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,All I've g***t to do is stay here.

00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,What do you want from me?

00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:20,-Have you been a good father to the boy?
-I've tried.

00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,You tried.
Isn't that nice you tried?

00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,Yep. Even my daddy can say that.

00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:32,Beat the s***t out of me every day,
but he tried.

00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,I've never hit Matt.

00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,I'm sure you didn't.

00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,Where's the boy's mother?

00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:49,She's dead.

00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,You still wear a ring.

00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,You feel responsible in some way
for her death?

00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:00,She died in a car accident.

00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:02,Dead wife.

00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,Kid with cancer.

00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,I'd wonder about myself, too.

00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,Will you do it?

00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:18,Will you give my son your bone marrow?

00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:22,I'll have to think about that,
get back to you.

00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,No. Tell me right now.

00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,Why?

00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,Because I haven't told him
that his cancer is back.

00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,And when he went into remission...

00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,he wouldn't even
let himself celebrate...

00:11:38,560 --> 00:11:41,'cause he knew the odds.

00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,And when I go back, I'm gonna tell him
that his cancer is back...

00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:48,and that he will die if he doesn't get
a bone marrow transplant.

00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,I want to tell him
that I found that donor.

00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,- And I want to give him hope.
- To make it easier for you.

00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:02,To make it easier for him,
and to save his life.

00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:10,Well, since you have to know
right now, Frank...

00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,my answer is no.

00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:18,Officers!

00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,That's not acceptable.

00:12:48,680 --> 00:12:51,We'll need more topicide.

00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,I'll get back to you.
Mr. Connor.

00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,- Hi, Doctor. How are you?
- Good morning.

00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:05,Can we sit in my office a few moments?
I'd like to talk to you about Matt.

00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:06,Why?

00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,- I prefer to do this in private.
- Tell me right now.

00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:13,I've learned about Peter McCabe planning
to be a donor, and I'm concerned.

00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:18,Matt has blood in his urine.
His creatine levels are up.

00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,And without a transplant,
we have very little time.

00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,- Where is he?
- He's resting. Give him a moment.

00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,I'm concerned about you, too.

00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:32,I've learned one thing in a specialty
where you can lose many patients.

00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:37,- You have to care for the family.
- Matt is not going to die.

00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,We won't give up hope.

00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,You may want someone to talk to.
The hospital has counselors.

00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,For what? To adjust to my son dying?

00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,I don't want to adjust to my son dying.
May I see him now?

00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:49,Absolutely.

00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,Why don't you ask Gladys?

00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,Can you build a rocket ship
out of tongue depressors...

00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:03,without using glue or other adhesives?

00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:05,That holds together without glue?

00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:07,Yeah.

00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:09,Dad, look.

00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:13,He's going to be an...
