Because you've got

golden hands, Andrew.

Those hands can open

any lock devised by man.

You really think I got golden hands?

Nah, maybe they used to be golden.

- I used to be great, I admit that.

- You are great now.

And you're gonna be legendary.

- I'm a doctor! Let me through, please.

- " Oh, God.!"

- Anybody call an ambulance?

- Yes, sir. A few minutes ago.

- It's all right. It's all right.

I'm gonna need all of you.

We're gonna have to put him

in temporary traction ourselves.

- I thought we weren't

supposed to touch people...

- Now you listen to me!

His ribs are scratching his heart.

At any second now, they're

gonna cut right through.

- You want that on your

conscience, you tell me.

- Sorry.

Me.

I did that. Me. I did that.

Legendary.

Get the others.

No!

- Bring him up.

- Ah, no...

- Bring him up slow.

It's gonna be all right.

- Do it slow.

It's all right. Bring him up.

Hold the tension.

You're doing it.

That's good. You're gonna be fine.

- You're gonna be fine.

Shhh, shhh, shhh.

- Hold him.

- Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh.

- Oh, yes.

- You're gonna be fine.

Oh, bless you. Bless you, Doctor.

Thank you. Thank you very much...

You're gonna be fine.

You're gonna be fine.

- God bless you.

- Hold him.

- I'm gonna be fine, right?

- Perfect.

- Okay.

- They're doing it.

They're doing it really right.

Hold it, boys. That's it.

- Don't leave me!

- It's all right. It's all right.

- Hold him.

- Uh, wait a minute.

Back here by the gas tank.

Where the hell

is that ambulance?

- Where's the ambulance?

- It's coming. It's coming.

- Now...

- Aaah, ow, ow...

Shh, sh, sh. Where's

the nearest phone? Tell me.

- It's right inside...

-

- Sh. Sh. Sh.

- Don't let him leave!

- Hold him good.

- Hold me.

Hold him until I come back.

You understand?

- Hold me.

- Hold the tension.

Keep the tension strong.

- Keep it strong.

- Keep it... You hear him?

Okay, here they come.

Here they come.

Now, come on.

Stand back now. Let 'em through.

Come on now. Get out of the road.

Let 'em through there.

- Murch?

- Okay, so far.

Okay.

You sure you got it all unlocked?

- You haven't insulted me

enough already?

- Sorry. Okay. Once again.

The man in the car.

Over here.

Come on. Get in. Hurry.

- I can't hold it.

- What?

I can't hold it. I can't.

Hold it. Hold it!

Hold it! God, hol...

How could you do this to me?

There's no air in here.

You know what this feels like?

Okay, together. Up.

Where are you? Come on. Again. Up.

- Grab it.

- Easy.

- What is it?

- I forgot my tools. Take it.

Kelly, don'tjust stand there.

Let's get out of here.

Hey, have you seen them?

They're trapped. In here.
