Recap
An ambulance drives away from Binghamton, NY, and holds a single prisoner, Marcus Ayers. Marcus slips a quarter into his mouth and carefully observes and calculates every variable of the ambulance, the agents guarding him, and the surrounding cars. He then takes the coin and flips it toward an IV stand. He knocks it into a drawer, opening the door and dropping an oxygen tank onto his guard. The tank sprays gas into the driver’s face, he goes out of control, and slams into several cars. A loose pipe on a truck shoots through the windshield, shatters Marcus’ handcuffs, and breaks open the rear door of the ambulance. Marcus casually gets out, picks up his coin, and goes to call in the accident at a nearby pay phone...Read the full recap
