Meanwhile, panic broke out among the 120 workers still in the plant. One employee said he sounded a siren to warn the surrounding community, but few of the surviving residents recall hearing it. Many of the workers reportedly began running for their lives, leaving just one supervisor in the factory to do battle with the fumes. The man, identified later as Shakeel Ahmed, collapsed from the effects of the gas before he could control it. (At week's end his condition was critical.)

Henry addresses his troops before battle, and some low-flying aircraft provide martial rumblings. Henry and Katharine share their first kiss, and a police siren serendipitously whoops for joy. Is all the world a stage? Then Manhattan is a bustling sound stage...
