Deadlocked

- Another day to live through.

Better get started.

- You know, if you took the stairs more,

you might catch me next time.

- I don't know if you're aware of this

but you're in handcuffs right now, buddy.

- Yeah, but that's not because you caught me.

Now, you wouldn't have stood a chance

if that freak didn't snitch on me.

- You mean the elderly citizen who restrained you?

Well, I didn't wanna hurt him.

Right.

Hold the door.

Got an audition to be at.

- See if you can call the front desk.

Yeah.

Yeah. Hi.

So the elevator's stuck.

You kiddin' me.

This crap's gettin' old.

- Wait, how often does this happen?

- Look, I'll get the elevator company

over here just as soon as I can.

- Okay. And how long has this gonna take?

Shouldn't be too long.

- Could you be more specific with the time?

No.

Sorry about this, everyone.

We'll have you out of there as soon as we can.

- Let me see if there's anything I can do about this.

1306 to 782.

You guys out?

I'm in front waiting.

- Actually, we're stuck on the elevator.

Are you serious?

Are you guys alone?

Negative.

How soon you think you can have us out of here?

- Daniels, I hate to break it to you,

but I think you're on elevator patrol

for the afternoon, kid.

I gotta go. I'm getting a call for a 1016.

Okay. Stay safe.

- Well, looks like we're not going anywhere for a while.

We should probably take these off, yeah?

- So you're new to the force, huh?

I'm sorry.

I'm Connor.

Officer Daniels.

And what's your name?

- Me? - Yeah.

Oh, sorry.

Just not you used to anybody talking to me

while I'm cuffed.

I'm Mason.

- Well, it's nice to meet you, Mason.

- Sir, let's avoid touching the perp please.

Sorry.

Man, they're trying to freeze us to death in here or what?

Dude, it's boiling in here.

You're warm?

Yeah.

What's happening?

- It's all right. They're just working on the elevator.

What are you talking about?

It's not all right.

I'm gonna miss my audition no thanks to this brat.

Everything was fine until you got here.

Sir, lower your voice.

Do you know what you've done?

This was going to be my role of a lifetime.

I was going to make it.

Excuse me, everyone.

Connor here.

Hey, Jen.

Hey.

Yeah.

Well, the craziest thing just happened.

The elevator got stuck.

Yeah.

So unfortunately I don't think I can get to this audition.

Well, I was wondering,

is there any possibility I could schedule another one?

No, it's okay.

No, I totally understand.

Okay.

Well, hopefully we'll be working together

sometime in the future.

Okay.

Thank you so much.

Thank you, I appreciate it.

Talk to you soon.

All right, bye.

C'est la vie.

What's up?

- I think you owe her an apology.

- I'm sorry, did I miss something?

You yelled at her.

When the lights went out?

You blamed her for missing your audition.

- It's fine. Can we just drop it please?

- I don't know what you guys are talking about.

I mean, I'm gonna miss my audition, but it's okay.

I mean, it could have been a huge opportunity

but there'll be plenty more. - Stop it.

You're freaking her out. Just apologize.

I'm not freaked out, okay?

This is a prank, right?

I don't know.

You tell me.

I'm really sorry.

- We're not the ones you need to apologize to.

Hey.

Hello?

I'm Connor. - Yeah, you're Connor.

You said that to everybody here already.

Well, what's your name?

Jacqui.

Okay.

Jacqui.

I'm really sorry for whatever happened back there.

I'm seriously really sorry that I scared you .

I'm not scared, okay?

It's fine.

What's up with the backpack?

- So Connor, why don't you tell us about yourself?

You're an actor?

Well, aspiring actor, yes.

- Have you suffered any head trauma recently?

Huh?

- Did you hit your head or anything?

No.

- Are you taking any substances?

- Are you asking if I take drugs?

- I'm just concerned about your wellbeing.

I don't do drugs.

Dammit, cop.

Just ask him if you hear something.

- Do you have power outages here often?

- This is weird, even for this place.

So, it's Olivia, right?

I never caught what you do.

Mechanical engineer.

So why do you live here?

I heard at career day that engineering jobs pay really well.

- Miss, why aren't you in school right now?

Help!

Sir.

Help!

Sir, the elevator's stuck.

I'm a police officer.

What's going on out there?

- My girlfriend's trying to kill me.

I've been there before.

- Sir, I need you to get to a safe place.

I'm gonna send-

1306 to dispatch.

Talk to me. Are you all right?

Shit!

Dammit, Mason.

Asthma.

1306 to dispatch.

I don't have my inhaler.

Dispatch, where are you?

- I've got this. Just take care of Connor, okay.

Jacqui, Jacqui, look at me.

Okay.

Connor.

Hi officer. I'm Connor.

Okay, Connor.

I'm gonna have you sit down right over here, okay?

What's wrong with her?

You can do it, slow breaths.

- Hey, you need to get the fire department

and an ambulance down here right now.

Focus on me.

Let it out, slowly.

Okay. Good, deep breaths.

Okay, good.

Hello?

This is dispatch.

Go ahead, 1306.

Over.

- I'm stuck in an elevator with three civilians and a perp

in an apartment building on 5th Avenue.

It's the Palmer apartments.

It's the Palmer apartments.

I believe we're stuck somewhere near the fourth floor.

I'm requesting fire, medical and backup.

This is an emergency.

I heard a violent altercation in the hallway
