Meanwhile, crime lord Marion Bishop (played by Fishburne) is arrested after an confrontation results in the death of an undercover officer. Bishop is put on a prison bus with several other criminals. An ensuing snowstorm leaves the bus far from its intended destination, and it has to make a detour to the Precinct 13, where the prisoners are temporarily incarcerated.
