The narrator tells the audience that this is not the first time that Darnay has committed a crime. In fact, he's already been tried for the crime, and the judge has already sentenced him to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Darnay's wife shows up at the hospital and tells the narrator that her husband is still in the hospital, but she doesn't know his name. She tells him that all the children on the school bus have been sent to the hospital. The narrator is shocked to find out that his wife is not there, and he is also shocked to learn that his son is in a critical condition. He rushes to find his son and offers his help, but he can't find anyone to help him. The first group of patients arrives, and they are all badly wounded, including the narrator's son. He's glad to be there, because he'll be able to offer his help to the other patients when they get better. He tells his son that they'll all hang out together when he gets better, and then he leaves to go check out the other kids.
