Even if he doesn't,|or my body rejects the transplant--
'Cause that happens sometimes, right?
I just want you to know...
it's okay, Dad,|you did your best.
Excuse me. Mr. Connor,|there's a call for you.
You can pick it up in here.
Hi, Matt.
Frank Connor.
Frank, how's it going?
- That depends, doesn't it?|- Yeah.
I've been thinking it over. Why don't|you send Matt here so I can meet him?
Meet him? What for?
Look, if it's too much trouble--
Hi, Matt.
I'm Peter McCabe.|You can call me Pete.
Let's see, you're nine.
What is that, Matt?
- Fourth grade?|- Yeah.
You like school?|I f***ing hated every minute of it.
Yes, sir.
Not "sir," Matt.
You just call me Pete.|All right?
Uncle Pete.
But you're not my uncle.
- Let's do it.|- Do what, sir?
I'm going to do|the bone marrow transplant for you.
Dad, he's going to do it!
- Let me talk to your dad alone.|- Wait for me outside.
- Thank you.|- Sure.
Now...
I will do this if, and only if,|certain things are done for me.
Name it.
You will instruct the warden|to give me back my smoking privileges.
Reinstate my access|to the prison library.
Allow me four sugars in my coffee.|And get me out of that one-man box...
and back into the general population.
I'll do everything I can.
Good, Frank.
Do everything you can.
What's on your mind?
You could have decided this|last time I was here.
I wanted to meet Matt.
This way, maybe he'd appreciate me more.
- Sounds like redemption.|- Maybe.
In a way.
Help a kid, help myself.
Who knows, right, Frank?
Who knows?
This is great.
I'm happy things are working out|for both of us.
Right.
Warden's never going to approve|all the stuff I want.
You're going to have to go|over his head.
At least you know I'm calling you|back again in half an hour.
The governor is tied up|in a trade show all day.
Frank, listen to me.
It's going to happen, all right?|It's going to happen.
What about the ventilation?
You think he can get through|the ventilation system?
Not in the new building.|But in the old building...
I'm concerned about the steam tunnels.
Shall we? Let's say hello to him.|He's right here.
- Good.|- Frank Connor, Nate Oliver.
This is Sarah Davis, Governor Walker's|assistant press secretary.
And she has some good news for us.
- What?|- Transplant's going to go down.
Congratulations, Frank.|The chief went to bat for you.
Miss Davis spoke to the governor,|and the governor spoke to the warden.
- I'm glad I could help.|- I don't know what to say. Thank you.
What you can say when the local news|interviews you...
is you'd like to thank Governor Walker|personally for what he's done.
Of course.
- Is that a deal?|- Absolutely.
