They were taking Michael to a hearing in the morning to see a judge. As Marion drove to the institution, she noticed that the patients were walking around in the rain. Dr. Loomis seemed to realize quickly that Michael was free. Dr. Loomis got out of the car to use the phone at the hospital's gate. Michael climbed on the roof of the car from behind.
