Casey: Thanks.
Crockett walks over to Kevin.
Crockett: How's the arm feeling.

Casey: I'm sorry about Emma and Voight.
Jay looks at him.
Jay: How can we just give up searching. I thought that was our job. To never give up on people.

Back at the hospital Sharon looks at Maggie.
Sharon: I haven't been able to get a hold of Dr Marcel, Manning or Halstead for hours.
Maggie: They have little cell devices have you tried them.
Sharon: No good idea.
They look.
Sharon: Ok I've pinpointed them. They are all in the same place. In the middle of the woods. Two hours away. Grab police ambulances whatever we can and let's get over there.
Ethan: Hey Sharon.
Sharon: Yes Dr Choi.
Ethan: There hasn't been any word from 51 or Intelligence either.
Sharon: Ok maybe something happened let's go.
Voight is sitting in the car still holding Emma's hand. He is trying to push on the doors windows everything. Nothing is working. He hears muffled sounds. He begins pounding on the doors.
Voight: I need some help in here.
Adam is sitting on the ground. He begins hearing pounding.
Adam: Kim hey you hear that.
