Episode 4: The Man In The Water

Episode 5: Harlem's Hero

The train is coming. People on the platform hear it first. That low metallic roar echoing through the tunnel beneath Manhattan. Commuters shift closer to the yellow line. A father stands with his two young daughters waiting for the subway. Then chaos. A 19-year-old film student suddenly collapses beside him… convulsing from a seizure. In seconds, the young man tumbles off the platform and onto the tracks below. And now the headlights are visible in the tunnel. But One man jumps down onto the tracks.
