On the fourth floor of the construction site, Frank pulls a gun and refuses to turn over his son. Sap shows up and tackles Frank. Woz tells the son to watch and then sits back and watches the fight.

When Frank gets up, Woz shoots him so that he falls over the half wall as well and throws the gun down after the two of them.
