Azrael found him but two cops intervened and the man, calling himself the Spartan, escaped. On of the cops attempted to shoot the helicopter down with a rocket launcher. He missed and hit a rock-climbing range. The Spartan stopped to help an injured lady; they were both saved by Azrael. Afterwards, the Spartan agreed to let Azrael take him in.
