After Mick explains that he needs to see his son, Charlie unwittingly encourages him to head inside and refuses to take no for an answer.

Inside the hospital, Charlie encounters Connie (Amanda Mealing) and quickly loses his temper with her for how she treated his late wife Duffy. Incensed, Mick pulls out his gun and starts taking hostages and it quickly becomes apparent that he sees Charlie as an equally-wronged ally.
Charlie decides to use his position to try to save his colleagues, but when Mick searches Charlie's pockets, he discovers Charlie's ID and starts to see him as an enemy too.
Brave Charlie makes the decision to sacrifice himself, convincing Mick to let the other hostages go and just keep him. Mick agrees and when he and Charlie are alone, Mick admits that he has lost all hope.
Charlie assures him that he can still make the best of his situation, but how will volatile Mick react?
