Thank you.

I have a surprise for you.

What I would love to see here.

Do you think you could do this? If a little more room, so for chairs, say, or

cushions on the floor, so children could sit comfortably and listen to the

storytellers.

Ah, your sister, Ruth.

Yes, she's serving as a consultant in the institution.

Have you been telling stories behind my back again?

I certainly have.

But don't worry.

I'm saving the best ones for later.

Now you must be Hulk.

You always say that. A great honor to see you.

All this work, is it yours?

Oh, no.

I've just been giving them a little advice.

A great many men and women have contributed their stories to it.

Their memories.

But you know, just thinking about all that history gives me a powerful

Since this is supposed to be in my honor, why don't we just stick a head

on this shindig?

You owe me $6 million.

Back up, Warren. Pick us up quickly. He's got our money. I'll kill him. All

right, now what?

Calm down.

Maybe he's not as smart as he thinks he is.

Thank you.

Excuse me, I'd like to introduce someone. Mrs.

Spellman. She's one of the major underwriters of The New Wing.

Excuse me.

I'm so sorry.

Oh, well, don't be sorry.

Can we get a chair, please?

Oh, no, no. I'm all right. I'm all right.

But we can see that you're not.

Now, listen, just because I'm an old woman doesn't mean I need to get all

attention. Now, you just go on. I just have something in my eye, and it threw

off. Your eye?

Tell me.

I just have something in it.

Clouded over, is it?

Dear Mordark, you can't see very well through it?

Yes.

Give me your hands.

You're making too much of this.

Please let him. He has knowledge.

All right, now squeeze.

Harder.

Get the paramedics in here right now.

You're going to ruin the party.

Party can wait, but you can't.

I've seen this before.

Suddenly weak or blind on one side.

Usually it's a head injury.

But in Ruth's case, I think she has a stroke.

Did you call that ambulance?

On its way.

Rhythm blockage, a sort of mini -stroke.

The clot's dissolving, but it was caused by a deterioration of her carotid

arteries.

It's going to cause more obstructions, probably bigger ones.

What do you advise?

That we operate tomorrow, once she's stabilized.

Why not tonight?

Surgeons need their beauty sleep.

Look, it'll almost take that long anyway to prep her and pull together a team.

But I'll push the schedule to first thing in the morning.

I assure you, I won't let any delay add to the risk.

We won't even move her off this floor.

Perhaps you should go home. Be rested when she needs you in the morning.

There's a danger.

Tonight. You sense that?

I don't know. I can't explain it.

That worries me all the more.

Will you stay?

Of course.

Good, then I'll... Go rest, as you say.

And return in the morning.

She means much to me.

Our parents died when I was very young.

Ruth told me stories of our heritage.

Stories she learned from our mother and grandmother.

She instructed me in reading and history.

When there were no schools in our county that would accept us.

She is the music I hear in my soul.

And you passed that on to me.

I will watch over her.

I will not close my eyes.

that you had the impulse to steal from me, Cutter. After all, you are a thief.

But did you really think you were going to get away with it?

Where's the money?

I'll get it for you. No, we don't want you to go through any trouble. You just

tell me where it is and we'll get it for ourselves.

No. Maybe you should ask him.

How did you... How did we find you?

By knowing where to look.

When I planned this robbery, I checked every man's background very carefully.

I've even followed you to see what I could see. You came to this hospital

night like clockwork.

Who is it? Our secret lover?

Please, just let me go. You'll talk, Carter, but we'll go after your lover

Is that what you want? She doesn't know it. It's he.

So, we have the gender.

And we know which wing of the hospital you've been in, which narrows it down to

about 50 patients.

Still, her name would be nicer on the room number.

I won't tell you. We want the money, Carter. All six million of it.

Now,

you stupid man, you killed her. Now we're never going to get the money.

Maybe the girl knows. Oh, yeah, maybe my Aunt Hattie does.

Man, you idiot! Man, you lost it!

Hey! Hey!

Shut up!

Why else do you think he kept coming here? She was in on it from the start.

All right.

Now you know that, huh? I don't, but she's all we've got.

So, tomorrow morning we go in during visiting hours, and we find her. Come

You didn't sleep a wink, did you?

I rarely do. I'm a child of the night.

Do you need anything?

I'm afraid.

I'm addicted to the morning newspapers.

Information is power.

Has my brother been quoting me to you?

Who told you?

Mr. Hawk, could I see you?

I'll meet you in the OR lounge.

Would you like my paper?

I'm finished with it.

Why, thank you.

Who's your surgeon?

Dr. Rush, I think.

Oh, he's good.

He won't have any problems.

The clot isn't dissolving the way we hoped. In fact, it's aggregating.

We're going to have to address that first when we go in.

Excuse me.

I have an order for Miss Cutter.

Cutter?

We

don't

have a Cutter on the patient list.

Well, the order was phoned in by a Mr. Cutter. My boss assumed...

I'm sure we sent her an order last week. You don't have a visitor's log?

No, but I guess it's okay. It's visiting hours.

Try one of the nursing stations upstairs.

If she's long -term, one of the nurses will probably be able to help you.

Thank you. You're welcome.

Trying to collect the commission on all the business you make for the emergency

room, hmm?

How's the women's fashion business, Francine?

As soon as I get out of here, I'll find out.

You're here for surgery?

Biopsy. You'll be all right?

Sure.

Just exploratory stuff.

Hey,

it's real good to see you.

Sir, only authorized personnel allowed in this area. I'm here to take a

statement from a Mr. H. Brown.

Do you know which room he's in? No.

Okay. Brown?

Yes.

I'm going to have to check the charts. Sure.

Hey, buddy, you packing?

What's up?

When I bumped into you, I felt a gun.

Now open your coat.

Real slow.

42 -13. Shot fired. Officer down.

We're cut off at the front.

Back entrance. Secure our departure.

Block the entrances. Pack them with hostages. I'm coming down.

All right, everybody. Everybody, come on down to the left.

Come on, move.

Move. Move.

No good.

Three, four, pleats unit. They're inbound.

Get the patients ready to move.

They've got automatic weapons in the lobby.

Is there any other way out? No.

You listen.

You can see the new carpet I'm installing in the lobby.

And I've got more patients packed against the windows upstairs.

So what do you want?

Look, we gotta get out of here. Shut up!

I'll give you one hour.

Have the hospital's medevac copter ready to lift us off the roof. But don't plan

any tricks, or a lot of people are gonna die.

You two, get out of the van and lay over here. Now, come on.

It's time to find the girl.

That guy's still up on the roof with the .357. So I'll take care of him first.

How are you feeling?

I feel strange.

Just hold on to life a little longer.

I will get us out of here.

i have to search the policeman for another gun he's still bleeding exit

i should have thought i haven't worked er for 20 years it's packed the cavity i

know you remember yeah damn

nine millimeter and his gun is gone is that a problem could be i need every gun

i can get this is captain miller can you read me johnny

Your man Johnny is down.

We're doing everything we can to help him, but things are a little tight right

through here.

I got 14 people here holed up on the third floor in the surgery lounge.

I count three desperados with heavy iron on this floor. One of the patients saw

two down the lobby.

You copy?

Yeah, but who are you?

Just a man called Hawk. Question is, what are you doing about it? Come on

This is Captain Miller of the ERT team.

Now let me talk to my man.

This is Supervising Nurse Henderson. The officer is unconscious, and I have a

real serious problem here with several of my patients. Now, are you going to

come and help us?

I will when it's appropriate.

That's very inspiring, Mon Capitan. I remember now you are the genius that

conducted the rescue at the Third Street Bank.

Just keep this channel clear.

I'll get back to you when appropriate.

Show me the PA system.

Didn't they kill the hostages at the Third Street Bank? Yes, it was rather an

even score.

Bank robbers killed three of the hostages while the captain was holding

conferences.

Then two more of the hostages were killed by his ace team when they ran out

the bank because they looked like the bank robbers.

We keep on waiting on this captain, we all might as well lie down and shut our

eyes.

Good morning, Cretans.

I wouldn't insult me if I were you. You're the man in the box.

Wrong. I am the lid on the box that is wrapped up by the police that you're in.

Now, why are you here?

I don't like having an armed man on my back. So if you want to stay alive, Mr.

Hawk, open that door right now. Otherwise, I'm going to open it for you.

the most ridiculous thing I ever heard.

You will never get past me.

Now, look.

If you don't lead your people out of there immediately, I'm going to lay out

dead patients in front of your door.

Brilliant. Mr.

Mastermind, shoot the patients while all those people masquerading as policemen

with their soldier of fortune costumes on just sit on their hands till you do

it. That's policy.

Until you convince them that you really are killing people, they'll come right

on in. Guess what?

Continue your winning streak and you are killing the very people you came here

looking for.

What makes you think I'm looking for somebody?

Well, one of your men on a reconnaissance mission lost one of his

the ringer.

If you tell him, he may walk out of there with the money.

Obviously, he's a pro.

Maybe that's why he's here.

And how's he gonna escape?

Sprout wings and fly?

Now, look.

A man named Cutter visited a woman every night last week before his unfortunate

demise. She owes us a very large sum of money.

Help us find her, and we'll be out of here, and so will you, my friend.

Finish checking the other pages.

Bother some time.

Till the time runs out and they figure that their guns are bigger than mine.

You took a big risk.

What else was there to do?

So, things are better than they seem, huh?

Anybody here a friend of this Mr. Cutter?

Who said that's any of your business?

My wife needs medical care. A lot of people here do.

Well, Mr. Husband, do you have a better theory?

We shouldn't even be thinking about this.

We give them what they want.

Maybe she's the one.

And maybe you ought to shut your mouth.

Francine, perhaps you should put your mouth on click.

Have these people been here all week?

They're just here this morning because they're scheduled for surgery.

Please get the patient's records ready.

What are you thinking of doing?

Find the woman.

whatever's necessary to keep you alive.

You know, Hawk, why people make such a fuss about me?

Because otherwise they think you'd lecture them.

Yeah.

I had a lot to say.

I'm a rare bird.

Getting near the last of my kind.

My grandmother was born a slave.

But she taught me about freedom.

And that's where I found the courage to do the work I did.

Setting up the freedom schools.

Sitting in at the lunch counters.

Getting shot out by the Klan when the sheriff...

turn them loose on us.

And I did it.

So people couldn't be bought or sold, not ever again.

So every life would be cherished.

Everybody didn't get the word.

Well, a lot did.

Truth is,

Even told the last story I know for the oral history tape.

I don't want to end my days feeling that somebody

traded off another human being to buy me a little space of time.

It would be kind of like making a mockery of my life, don't you

know?

What are you going to do?

Anybody recognize this man?

Who he's visiting?

Everybody gets to go home as soon as we find out who he was visiting. I do.

What? Who was he seeing?

I'm not sure.

I think it was a patient down my hall.

She was going up for surgery this morning.

All right, he was seen visiting a woman patient here.

That's why Ark's here.

She probably hired him to cover her.

Man, I don't like this.

Maybe he doesn't either.

He's trapped just like us.

So what else do we know about him?

My shrewd detecting in the hospital records indicate that you just checked

this morning. So you couldn't have possibly had anything to do with this.

No.

But you could.

What?

Of course, she was here all the time. That's who he was visiting.

Wrong again, big mouth husband.

No need to see her at work.

Patience has to stay here, but she could come and go every night.

Then why do you think I had something to do with it?

Nine fives, ten beds.

No patient under my care is going to be sold out to those men.

Lady, those men are about to come through that door and shoot all the

under your care.

Facts first, then the judgment.

else gets hurt we're coming in do you read me answer do you read me

if we don't help her soon she'll

die how soon i don't know she's weakening every minute

You tell me and you tell me quickly. What do you know about all of this?

Herman Cutter is my father.

I don't use his name.

And those men, what do they want with you?

I don't know.

You're not thinking hard enough. Your father was a convict, isn't he?

He used to be.

According to my mother, safe -cracking armed robbers.

Armored car hijacking in Virginia two days ago.

Six million dollars.

That's the only thing big enough to make these men take this kind of chance.

Now, where's the money?

I don't know.

That's not good enough.

I swear to God, I don't.

He never had anything to do with me. He ran out on our family five years ago.

Then why is he here?

You want to know why?

I think it's because he was afraid.

When he called me a month ago, I thought it was because maybe I hoped...

He felt like a father again. Maybe he missed me or felt sorry about my

There has to be something more. Your father never told you anything about the

hijacking.

No.

Could have turned him in.

Well, the man sure should have dropped something. Those men downstairs sure

think he did.

He didn't tell me anything. He didn't give me anything. He just seemed sad.

Very, very sad.

Oh, my God.

What?

Last night, her father asked me where he could store some of her jewelry

overnight.

I didn't bring any jewelry.

I told him he could have it put with your other things in the property box.

These boxes, where are they?

In the basement, where the classrooms are and the laboratories.

The elevator can get there, but there won't be any way out from there.

Ellen, there are 100, maybe 200 people kept hostage in this hospital.

A lot of people are going to die.

Many already are.

Now, you go with me and risk your life.

Will you go?

Yes.

We all have to share in the risk.

Here, big mouth.

You got 12.

Shoot straight. Go.

We have to break the door down, but be careful.

He may have some rounds left.

Anything you don't recognize?

This.

Ah, a bank receipt with your name on it and your name only.

Why? So that the money couldn't be traced to him.

I guess he figured he could get your signature on a slip of paper anytime he

wanted.

Now that he was my loving father again?

Aha, he loved you some.

He didn't give them your name, did he?

Let's move.

We got about four or five minutes.

Hello, Mr.

Mastermind. While you were frightening all the patients, I was picking up your

money, all six million dollars of it.

You think you can find me?

I'll give you one clue.

The lid is off the box, and I'm hunting you.

I told you. Now I've got to be bluffing. Search every floor.

Spread out. Call in the basement.

That's where the money went, all right.

Stay here.

I'll see they don't try to cut us out.

You've got to be here someplace.

Ah!

I'm the phone home.

Don't try it.

You don't have any backup.

You're the last one standing.

Take him.

This is the police.

We've secured the building.

Patients and staff, stay where you are.

We'll check you out room by room in just a few minutes.

And go ahead.

All right, you're okay.

Go ahead.

That's okay.

You did what you had to do.

You risked your life for her and others ran.

You didn't fail her.

She lived her destined years.

She would have died on the operating table.

We'll never know that.

Oh, it's true.

I told you last night I felt it.

And more importantly, so did she.

She must have told you.

When it moved to her today.

That her life's work was done.

Yes.

Yes, it's as you say.

Still.

No.

What is, is.

Hark.

Let me have a moment alone with her.

Please.

Good. You can pass.

Just a second.

All right. Go ahead, Bill.

You can go, girl.

We're going to need a statement.

It can wait.

I don't think so.

You put down three men.

Dead. We're wishing they were. Four.

There only were four. And we took one out when we entered. Look, I've been

this a lot longer and a lot harder than you, Capitan. I counted four.

Plus whoever stayed in the lobby.

Well, we haven't checked anyone out of this building except patients and staff

that we positively identified.

And the body count stands at three.

Where's Cutter's daughter?

In the new wing.

What's her room number?

Nobody's going to hear you.

If you cause me any more trouble, I'll kill you. Even if it does cost me the

money, I'm going to kill you.

from the time this exhibit was first planned that your sister would honor us

dedicating the new wing.

And now it is, yes, with some sorrow, but also with a pride and a joy in her

great memory that instead this day we dedicate the wing to her.

So now you'd like to hear another story.

Yeah, adventure.

How about a woman with a heart like a queen?

Soul of a warrior.

Walked through fire without any weapons. Faced down ten men with shotguns once.

Outside of a little backwoods church in Mississippi.

So you can be what you are today.

What was her name?

The people...

People that seemed always just called her... Ruth.

Just Ruth.
