In this short scene, the Underground Man tells Alek that he's on his way to New York to find out what's been going on. He wants to know if anyone else has been seeing strange things. He asks if anyone has seen the "dead rise" on the wall, which means that the dead are rising. He also asks if any of the prisoners at the prison have been cleared of any of their crimes. Alek asks if he can check on the whereabouts of his friend, Captain Jessel, who is supposed to be there. The Underground Man says he'll be there as requested. He's sorry, he says, but he can't do anything for the prisoners because he was a cop. He tells Alek to send a tactical unit to the prison.
