Hello?
Love what you've done with
the place.
Let's see it.
It's, uh, $125,000, uh...
100 for your team, 25 for you.
It's all there, in used hundreds
and twenties.
These our tax dollars
at work?
[chuckling]
Let's, uh-- let's just call it
a P.R. allowance.
[man breathing]
You know, for special projects.
Listen, your, uh... your team,
they're, uh... they're
professionals, right?
That's what you're
paying for.
Oh, I know.
Look, nobody gets hurt.
But it has to look real and
believable.
That's your job, slick.
Oh, I know.
It's handled on my end.
Don't you worry about that.
Why don't you do your job and--
Hide the money at the drop
off point in the morning, walk
to the banquet, and choke down
your lunch.
Is that simple enough for ya?
Just make sure your team
doesn't choke when game time
starts.
This has got to be squeaky
clean, no mistakes, or we all
go down together.
I'd really hate to see all our
faces get splashed over the news
if you come up short... slick.
You listen to me.
No matter what happens,
I don't exist.
Are we clear?
Crystal.
We'll do lunch.
[footsteps approaching]
What are you doing here?
You forgot to tell me about
the 25 grand.
You looking for this?
Aah!
[grunting]
I was gonna cut ya in!
Oh, take it.
Just take it all!
How do I take something from

[woman] Of what supporters
hope to be an historic day for
the city here at the
Les Plages hotel.
The hotel has been abandoned for
decades but you wouldn't know it
with its facade newly renovated,
and the limousines bringing the
city's most prominent business
leaders here.
Oh, guys, he's here.
Come on, pick it up.
Come on, let's go.
Gotta find the grand ballroom.
Mr. Sterling, what do you
think of the price tag on this?
[camera shutters clicking]
Here you go.
[laughing] Thank you.
There you go.
Lieutenant Williams is
securing the southwest
perimeter.
Mr. Sterling, what do you
think of the price tag on this?
Just the ballroom, I think.
Excuse me, officer.
Yes, ma'am.
Could you tell me which way
the banquet hall is?
Straight down this way.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
[muffled music playing]
Five minutes, Mr. Mayor.
Mm, thanks, Eric.
No, I-- I understand, and
I agree, I do.
I'm just telling you, we win
the governor's seat, four years
later, who knows?
Okay, but let's just-- let's
take things one step at a time.
Listen to me-- we have to
present you in a manner that is
sympathetic, forthright to
the people.
You're going to be the greatest
governor this state has
ever known.
Thank you.
I just want to make sure
everybody knows it.
Excuse me, gentlemen.
Robert, we have the five minute
warning.
Thank you, thank you.
Uh, now, have you met
Miles McCurdy?
He is my lawyer, Mr. Mayor, and
he is also going to run
my campaign.
It's an honor.
Nice to meet you, Miles.
Well, shall we do it?
I'll have a few thank you's
first, and then I'll introduce
the congressman.
Okay.
Oh, oh, I have to speak.
Oh, well, heavens, now.
I'm sure I'll have a few words.
No, I think you're going to see
a lot of smiles, Mr. Mayor.
When I present the city with
$50 million in federal funds,
it tends to have that effect
on people.
[chuckling]
Uh, gentlemen, would you
excuse me for just one moment?
Welcome aboard.
Good to finally meet you.
Sir.

She can't talk to the
Girl Scouts on Wednesday, no.
Sorry, um, how about a...

Done, okay.
Oh and, um, by the way, could
you bring some cookies, uh,

Right, all right.
Thank you very much.
Bye-bye.
Hello, dear.
I thought you were getting
dressed.
Would you excuse us, Ricki?

Just go.
Hi, honey.
What happened?
Random House needs the book
this summer.
[stammering]
What-- I'm not in that thing,

You wish.
Yeah, well, you know, for
better or for worse, remember?
Is this the better
or the worse?
Oh, those people don't want
to see me.
They only want to see the man.
Okay. All right.
It's fine, it really is.
But tomorrow, in Jacksonville,
all right, you really, you--
you must make an appearance,
because that is-- that's the
foundation speech for my annou--
When you announce to run
for governor, I know.
Announcement for the run for
the governor, yes.
Could you-- could you try to
sound enthusiastic?
You know, a year from now, you
could be in the governor's
mansion.

He missed his last court date

100 grand.
Ahh.
Mm hmm.
His client's put together
a bounty.
They're hoping he'll tell them
where he hid all of their money,
so we need him alive.
Well, it's your lucky day,
'cause I need 100 grand.
Charlie's going with you.
Say what?
Now you know, Verve always
has protection and you can't
carry a gun, being an ex-felon
and such.
I'm an ex-felon because I--
I did a year's time for
something I didn't do.
It wasn't my fault.

Perhaps the mayor's handsome

Be glad to.
All I'm going to see is
rat poop.

Thank you for being here
this afternoon.
Before we get to the man we've
all come to hear, Congressman
Robert Sinclair...
[applause]
I want to acquaint you with all
the work that's gone into
this evening.
For the last three months,
workers from all over the city
have plied their trades to
restore this grand ballroom into
the showplace that it once was.
[audience supporting]
This is only the first chapter.
[applause]
Now, our wonderful city will
finally be able to rebuild.
Ladies and gentlemen, please
welcome the man of the hour,
Congressman Robert Sinclair.
[applause]
Thank you, thank you.
Thank you very much.
Uh, ladies and gentlemen...
Thank you, Mr. Mayor.
Sure, no problem.
When this hotel was first
built 100 years ago, it held the
promise of growth and prosperity
for a new community.
Well today, I offer a similar
promise-- that we can begin
again to make this part of the
city as fresh and as vital as
this hotel once was, and will
be again.
All right?
[applause]
[Justine coughing]
[laughing]
Ooh, it smells in here.
Now we're going to go down
right where it all started.
During Prohibition, the hotel
actually made its own whiskey
right here, in this basement.
I want to see where that
famous actress died.
You mean Emily Ashley?
I guess so.
Oh, yeah.
Upstairs.
Come on.
Anyway , as we go through,
you'll see a ballroom which has
a stained glass ceiling not to
be believed.
In these very halls roamed
most of the greatest minds and
names of the 20th century.
And their spirits still roam,
witness to this great
opportunity that we bring.
[applause]
[Justine laughing]
Amazing, huh?
Good to get out of that
basement.
You're going to love this.
Come on.
Emily Ashley.
She won the Academy Award for
her first film.
It was in here, right in
that bed.
She got in bed, drank a bottle
of champagne, broke the empty
bottle, and cut her wrists with
the shards.
Nobody knows why she did it.
In the TV movie, though, they
said that she found out that her
boyfriend was really her father,
but who knows?
Well, I think it's about time
we got back.
Hey, whoa, this way.
A short cut.
Very spooky, I think you'll
like it.

That's really funny.
Oh, I'll tell ya, it's nice
to see you smile.
I was getting a little worried.

Don't be a hero.

Tie the chickens up, Kenny.
Keep 'em in the coop.
I said tie 'em.
We-- well, why do we have to
tie 'em?
I mean, where are they going?
You want to wind up back on
the street?
Nowhere to go?
Then tie 'em.
What do you want with us?
You keep your flap shut.
Speak when spoken to.
Cong don't let them take their
home, they fight.
When are we going to Mexico?
Soon, Kenny, soon.
But when I tell you to do
something, don't ever
question me.
Now tie 'em.
It's payday.
What--
Son of a--
What's wrong?
We've been double-crossed.
Oh, may-- may-- maybe we
should go now.
You stay here.
You gonna kill somebody?
Not just somebody.
Because when I was a little
boy, my grandfather brought me
to this hotel.
And it became a little tradition
for us.
Uh, right after church, almost
every Sunday, we would come here
and we would spend a few hours
with the finest cuisine and
conversation.
Now on a more personal note...
Base to ballroom, all
sectors clear.
Let me just say that this is
a lot more than just politics
to me.
It's about a lot more than just
trying to get your votes--
although...
[audience laughing]
[muffled speech continues]
I learned a great deal from
those wonderful afternoons here
on Sunday with my grandfather.
And I plan to return here with
my daughter to see this place
as it should be.

Repeat, evacuate now!
And I remember feeling proud.
Mr. Mayor, we have

I was proud to be among them.
And I was proud to know that
I was a-- was a part of
something bigger than myself.
That's really what this
is about.
[indistinct whispering]
[audience muttering]
Uh, ladies and gentlemen, uh,
please forgive the intrusion.
Unfortunately, the fire marshal
has brought to our attention
that, um...
[beeping]
So please, we are being asked to
move towards the nearest exit,
immediately.
So please, now, move towards
the exits, thank you.
I thought you were the fire
marshal, Frank?
So did I.
I gotta talk to the mayor.
Now, there is no immediate
danger.
Please go calmly.
This is not an emergency, it is
just a precaution.

Let's get on those doors and
windows, now, go, go, go!
[shouting orders]
Okay, I'm gonna break it
down, start an IV.
[sirens approaching]
[SWAT shouting orders]
I don't understand.
How could this happen?
Excuse me, Congressman, this
is FBI agents Hopkins and Green.
I'm sorry we couldn't meet
under different circumstances,
Mr. Sinclair.
This is Captain Waters.
He was here when it happened.
Mr. Hopkins, Miss Green,
I had several of my men posted
here when this went down.
Oh, your people were in
charge of security?
You sound like this was the
city's fault.
Captain, please, bring us up
to speed.
During the speeches, the
family was waiting upstairs.
The terrorists came over a
police band frequency saying
they had kidnapped the wife,
her aide, and the congressman's
daughter.
What?
Yeah.
Two of my men responded
upstairs.
They were searching for the
family and the mayor's
assistant, Eric.
Do we know their demands?
So far, find Larry King...
and they want to negotiate
through Charles Duffy.
Duffy's a retired police
officer.
Retired?
Why him?
I have no idea.
Well, if they want this
Duffy, then for heaven's sakes,
let's get them Duffy, I--
Look, okay, Captain, as of
now this is FBI jurisdiction.
Look, I understand federal
jurisdictions, but you're still
going to need my help here.
So why don't you just--
Gentlemen, let's save the
turf warfare, okay?
I'm sure the congressman wants
everybody's help.
All right, here it is,
Captain.
We'll use your men to seal
the perimeter.
Already done.
Good.
Agent Green, I want you to take
Waters and find Charles Duffy.
All my people, out of here!
Okay, it's time for the men
to take over from the boys.
Out of my seat.
Yeah, out of his seat.
There you go.
Out you go.

Woodall.
Yes, sir.
I want to meet with all the
assault team squad leaders.
Whoa, whoa, now hey, that
seems awfully dangerous.
Congressman, Congressman,
try to understand, all right?
The more options I have, the
better I can negotiate.
Have you ever heard of agent
John Lipinski?
No.
He was on the protection team
when Reagan got shot.
He's now a parking lot attendant
in Minneapolis.
Understood?
Robert, I'm, uh...
I'm really sorry.
If there's anything I can do...
No, thank-- thank you, Miles.
I appreciate your being here.

I'm going to put something in

No, no, you've had enough...

We need your help, Officer.
Who's she?
For the tenth time, she's

Congressman Sinclair.
I never heard of him.
He's a United States

Frankly, we don't know,

But they requested you by name.
You've got two mics and
a P.P. locator.
Yeah, just in case I pee my
pants, right?
It's a present position
indicator.
It allows us to locate you
anywhere in the hotel.
Maybe you haven't heard...
I'm off the force.
No, I heard that, Charlie.
But I also heard you were a
distinguished officer with what,
30 years behind the badge?
Yeah, yeah.
These are the hostages,

This is Susan, the congressman's
wife.
This is Ricki, her aide.
This is Justine, the

Thanks.
Listen, Charlie, I want you

That's my wife and my daughter

Now, I want you to promise 'em
anything, I don't care what it
is, anything, whatever
they want.
But don't let 'em hurt

I'll try.
Officer Duffy.
According to their instructions,
this is the path you'll
be taking.
Follow it to the "T."
Charlie, the terrorists will
have new instructions waiting
for you somewhere along the way.
Proceed carefully.
The place is completely booby
trapped.
I don't suppose anybody has a
drink around here.
I'm just kidding.
Take this, Charlie.
It's time to go.
Good luck, Duffy.
No one's heard from Logan,

He'll be here.
Banzai.

They came from behind.
Well, you better stay put

First, we wait for
Larry King.
Okay, okay.
When is this lunatic going to

But most important...
is, we've been double-crossed.
What's that?
What are you talking about?
Wires?!
You've got wires?!
Get up. Get up!
Is that it?
Any more?
Uh, the cops made me wear it.
I Didn't know it was you

What is "fugazi"?
In 'Nam, it meant completely

All right.
Send in the other assault teams.
Let's just wait--
Hey look, Waters, I'm not
gonna debate this with you,
all right?
You're job is to handle the

My job is to handle all matters
related to the inside of

You are going to get
everybody killed.

You weren't supposed to die,

Why didn't you just hit him with

We needed him to negotiate.
Can I have his shoes?
He's not a hog, Kenny.
We need to make a statement.
It's okay.
It'll be okay.
Look, I feel really bad about
your top.
We can go out tomorrow again if
you want to look for it.
Got my own boat.
Okay.
Charlie left you a message.
He's with a whole bunch of
federal agents.
He wants help with some, uh,
hostage something.
Huh, dream on.
I knew that either you or
that kid would end up with all
the chicks.
But tonight, she and her
stepmother, along with Susan
Sinclair's personal aide,
Ricki Stewart, are all being
held hostage.
Wait a minute.
So far no word on how many
kidnappers are involved.
And there is nothing known
regarding their release of
the trio.
This event comes on the eve
that most experts predicted
would be the beginning of
Congressman Sinclair's first
overtures for the nomination
for governor.
Get on with it, lady.
This is Miles McCurdy,
Congressman Sinclair's
spokesman.
What can you tell us,
Mr. McCurdy, about the
congressman's reaction
to these events?
Well, the, uh, the
congressman is obviously
extremely distraught over these
terrible turn of events.
He would like to thank very
much his supporters for all of
their aid during this, uh,
highly emotional time.
Uh, at this very moment, a
hostage negotiator is on
the scene, Officer Charles
Guffy-- uh, Duffy, is on the
scene, uh, meeting with the,
uh, hostage takers.
Uh, uh, attempting to ascertain
what their demands are.
Thank you, very much.
And now, back to the studio.
Charlie, he's-- what the hell
are you doing?
I gotta go down there.
Well, you'll never get by
the perimeter.
Captain Waters will have you
thrown out.
No, I'll get down there, and
I'll get in, 'cause I got...
a police detective with me.
Take care of the ladies,
will you, Tony?

Hey, Richard.
Richard.
You hear me?
Yeah, I heard ya.
Where's Charlie?
He's inside.
How the hell did you work
that out?
I didn't, he was asked for by
the terrorists.
What?
Yeah.
Tums out he's got more guts than
anybody gives him credit for.
I know how much guts
he's got.
That's why I'm here.
Oh, yeah, you're here,
all right.
Maybe too late.
What the hell's that supposed
to mean?
It means that Charlie went in
there and he got into trouble.
He was wearing a wire.
They found it.

He was up there.

Well, in the meantime,
I suggest you both stay out of

This is my perimeter, Agent!
Everyone back to their posts.
Yes, ma'am.
FBI got an assault team
going in?
This whole place is
booby trapped.
Those guys are 'Nam vets.
Fugazi was the last thing we
heard over Charlie's wire.
I'm gonna need a weapon.
I'll meet you around back
with one.
Where are you going?
I'm gonna find Charlie.
Charlie's probably dead.
Well, I'm going in anyway.
Understand, I have no
knowledge of your going in.
I appreciate it, Richard.

Paranoid schizophrenic.

If they have yet to state any
ransom demands, this is about
being noticed, gaining fame.
Mm-hmm.
So what do we do?
Could you arrange for
Larry King in, uh, two hours?
Why don't they just
call King.
He let's anybody on that show.
Oh, come on, Miles.
Woodall?
Nothing yet, sir.
Find Larry King.
It might motivate their
next move.
I find it puzzling that
they're willing to wait for
Larry King.
If they truly wanted headlines,
why not make use of the press
that's already here?
Okay, so-- so, your next move
is what?
Well, with all the booby
traps, it's slow going for the
assault teams.
So, uh, we wait, talk it out.
What do you mean,
"talk it out"?
How do ya-- how do ya talk
it out?
Well, it's likely that
they're monitoring a police
radio that they stole during
the kidnapping.
But I thought they said they
would only talk to Charlie.
Well, maybe we can make
contact, get them to listen
to you.
Woodall!
Bring me the police radios.
Excuse me, has it occurred to
anyone that, uh, they've already
heard all of this on the radios?
The FBI has its own high
band, secured channels.
The terrorists are on the local
police channels.
Now, despite what you might
believe, Mr. McCurdy, we do have
some idea of what we're
doing here.
Okay.
Mister McCurdy?
Something I can do for you,
Agent Hopkins?
You can keep your mouth shut,
Mr. McCurdy.
Next time you talk to the press,
I'm going to have you arrested
for obstruction.
You got that?
What does this mean?
Nothing, nothing.
Well, what did you do, Miles?
Robert, nothing.
The-- the press grabbed me, and
I spoke to the people about how
much you appreciated this...

In other news, instead of
declaring his run for the
governor's seat today,
Congressman Robert Sinclair
announced his departure
from politics.
This on the heels of last
night's arrest of Sinclair
campaign manager Miles McCurdy.
McCurdy is being charged for
his role in the kidnapping of
the congressman's wife, Susan,
and daughter, Justine,
a kidnapping that also resulted
in the death of aides Ricki
Stewart and Eric Gordon.
The ordeal is believed to be
the design of the misguided
McCurdy, in an attempt to gain
sympathy and notoriety for
Sinclair's candidacy.
Also in the news today, accused
embezzler Sy Harkin was
arrested at the private home of
Dr. Lee Chamberis.
Harkin was found recovering
from gunshot wounds and being
treated privately...
What?
By Dr. Chamberis.
Harkin is accused in the
embezzlement of nearly $100
million from the Iron Group
Mutual Funds Harkin established
some three years ago.
Bounty hunter, Sonny "Wild Man"
Coger, was responsible for the
capture of Harkin.
Coger, seen here, received the
$100,000 reward offered by
those who were hoping to find
the millions Harkin is
suspected of sheltering
throughout the world.

with its facade newly renovated,
and the limousines bringing the
city's most prominent business
leaders here.
Oh, guys, he's here.
Come on, pick it up.
Come on, let's go.
Gotta find the grand ballroom.
Mr. Sterling, what do you
think of the price tag on this?
[camera shutters clicking]
Here you go.
[laughing] Thank you.
There you go.
Lieutenant Williams is
securing the southwest
perimeter.
Mr. Sterling, what do you
think of the price tag on this?
Just the ballroom, I think.
Excuse me, officer.
Yes, ma'am.
Could you tell me which way
the banquet hall is?
Straight down this way.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
[muffled music playing]
Five minutes, Mr. Mayor.
Mm, thanks, Eric.
No, I-- I understand, and
I agree, I do.
I'm just telling you, we win
the governor's seat, four years
later, who knows?
Okay, but let's just-- let's
take things one step at a time.
Listen to me-- we have to
present you in a manner that is
sympathetic, forthright to
the people.
You're going to be the greatest
governor this state has
ever known.
Thank you.
I just want to make sure
everybody knows it.
Excuse me, gentlemen.
Robert, we have the five minute
warning.
Thank you, thank you.
Uh, now, have you met
Miles McCurdy?
He is my lawyer, Mr. Mayor, and
he is also going to run
my campaign.
It's an honor.
Nice to meet you, Miles.
Well, shall we do it?
I'll have a few thank you's
first, and then I'll introduce
the congressman.
Okay.
Oh, oh, I have to speak.
Oh, well, heavens, now.
I'm sure I'll have a few words.
No, I think you're going to see
a lot of smiles, Mr. Mayor.
When I present the city with
$50 million in federal funds,
it tends to have that effect
on people.

Uh, gentlemen, would you

Welcome aboard.
Good to finally meet you.

Before we get to the man we've
all come to hear, Congressman
Robert Sinclair...
[applause]
I want to acquaint you with all
the work that's gone into
this evening.
For the last three months,
workers from all over the city
have plied their trades to
restore this grand ballroom into
the showplace that it once was.
[audience supporting]
This is only the first chapter.
[applause]
Now, our wonderful city will
finally be able to rebuild.
Ladies and gentlemen, please
welcome the man of the hour,
Congressman Robert Sinclair.
[applause]
Thank you, thank you.
Thank you very much.
Uh, ladies and gentlemen...
Thank you, Mr. Mayor.
Sure, no problem.
When this hotel was first
built 100 years ago, it held the
promise of growth and prosperity
for a new community.
Well today, I offer a similar
promise-- that we can begin
again to make this part of the
city as fresh and as vital as
this hotel once was, and will
be again.
All right?
[applause]
[Justine coughing]
[laughing]
Ooh, it smells in here.
Now we're going to go down
right where it all started.
During Prohibition, the hotel
actually made its own whiskey
right here, in this basement.
I want to see where that
famous actress died.
You mean Emily Ashley?
I guess so.
Oh, yeah.
Upstairs.
Come on.
Anyway , as we go through,
you'll see a ballroom which has
a stained glass ceiling not to
be believed.
In these very halls roamed
most of the greatest minds and
names of the 20th century.
And their spirits still roam,
witness to this great
opportunity that we bring.
[applause]
[Justine laughing]
Amazing, huh?
Good to get out of that
basement.
You're going to love this.
Come on.
Emily Ashley.
She won the Academy Award for
her first film.
It was in here, right in
that bed.
She got in bed, drank a bottle
of champagne, broke the empty
bottle, and cut her wrists with
the shards.
Nobody knows why she did it.
In the TV movie, though, they
said that she found out that her
boyfriend was really her father,
but who knows?
Well, I think it's about time
we got back.
Hey, whoa, this way.
A short cut.

conversation.
Now on a more personal note...
Base to ballroom, all

a lot more than just politics
to me.
It's about a lot more than just
trying to get your votes--

How could this happen?
Excuse me, Congressman, this

This is Captain Waters.
He was here when it happened.
Mr. Hopkins, Miss Green,

Oh, your people were in
charge of security?
You sound like this was the
city's fault.
Captain, please, bring us up

family was waiting upstairs.
The terrorists came over a
police band frequency saying
they had kidnapped the wife,
her aide, and the congressman's
daughter.
What?
Yeah.
Two of my men responded
upstairs.
They were searching for the
family and the mayor's
assistant, Eric.
Do we know their demands?
So far, find Larry King...
and they want to negotiate
through Charles Duffy.
Duffy's a retired police
officer.
Retired?
Why him?

Duffy, then for heaven's sakes,

Look, I understand federal
jurisdictions, but you're still
going to need my help here.
So why don't you just--
Gentlemen, let's save the
turf warfare, okay?
I'm sure the congressman wants
everybody's help.
All right, here it is,

We'll use your men to seal
the perimeter.
Already done.
Good.

Waters and find Charles Duffy.

John Lipinski?

Yeah, yeah, that's what
I thought, fugazi.
Fugazi, yeah, fugazi.
Well, you know, you're from
up north.
I'm from Philly.
You got me out.
You and me, babe, a couple of
Irish war heroes.
I got ya out?
I got ya out of jail.
Yeah.
Well, I helped you then,
let me help you now.
Just tell me what you want.
We've got demands.
You're the messenger.
We got messages to get out.
Can't trust the radio,
someone's always listening,
right?
Okay, let's-- let's talk
about it.
First, we wait for
Larry King.
Okay, okay.
When is this lunatic going to
get to what he wants?
But most important...
is, we've been double-crossed.
What's that?
What are you talking about?
Wires?!
You've got wires?!
Get up. Get up!
Is that it?
Any more?
Uh, the cops made me wear it.
I Didn't know it was you
up here.
You're a liar.
You're a liar!
You lie, you die.
Hey.
[Justine] No.
[whimpering]
No.
[Flynn] Fugazi, he's hit!
Officer's hit!
Fugazi, fugazi.
Over and out.
[radio static]
What officer was hit?
What-- who fired?
No one fired.
I-- I don't-- I don't know what
the hell is going on.
What is "fugazi"?
In 'Nam, it meant completely
and totally screwed up.
All right.
Send in the other assault teams.
Let's just wait--
Hey look, Waters, I'm not
gonna debate this with you,
all right?
You're job is to handle the
perimeter of the hotel.
My job is to handle all matters
related to the inside of
the hotel.
You are going to get
everybody killed.
[sighing]
You weren't supposed to die,
Charlie.
Why didn't you just hit him with
your fist?
We needed him to negotiate.
Can I have his shoes?
He's not a hog, Kenny.
We need to make a statement.
It's okay.
It'll be okay.
Look, I feel really bad about
your top.
We can go out tomorrow again if
you want to look for it.
Got my own boat.
Okay.
Charlie left you a message.
He's with a whole bunch of
federal agents.
He wants help with some, uh,
hostage something.
Huh, dream on.
I knew that either you or
that kid would end up with all
the chicks.
But tonight, she and her
stepmother, along with Susan
Sinclair's personal aide,
Ricki Stewart, are all being
held hostage.
Wait a minute.
So far no word on how many
kidnappers are involved.
And there is nothing known
regarding their release of
the trio.
This event comes on the eve
that most experts predicted
would be the beginning of
Congressman Sinclair's first
overtures for the nomination
for governor.
Get on with it, lady.
This is Miles McCurdy,
Congressman Sinclair's
spokesman.
What can you tell us,
Mr. McCurdy, about the
congressman's reaction
to these events?
Well, the, uh, the
congressman is obviously
extremely distraught over these
terrible turn of events.
He would like to thank very
much his supporters for all of
their aid during this, uh,
highly emotional time.
Uh, at this very moment, a
hostage negotiator is on
the scene, Officer Charles
Guffy-- uh, Duffy, is on the
scene, uh, meeting with the,
uh, hostage takers.
Uh, uh, attempting to ascertain
what their demands are.
Thank you, very much.
And now, back to the studio.
Charlie, he's-- what the hell
are you doing?
I gotta go down there.
Well, you'll never get by
the perimeter.
Captain Waters will have you
thrown out.
No, I'll get down there, and
I'll get in, 'cause I got...
a police detective with me.
Take care of the ladies,
will you, Tony?
[indistinct radio chatter]
Hey, Richard.
Richard.
You hear me?
Yeah, I heard ya.
Where's Charlie?
He's inside.
How the hell did you work
that out?
I didn't, he was asked for by
the terrorists.
What?
Yeah.
Tums out he's got more guts than
anybody gives him credit for.
I know how much guts
he's got.
That's why I'm here.
Oh, yeah, you're here,
all right.
Maybe too late.
What the hell's that supposed
to mean?
It means that Charlie went in
there and he got into trouble.
He was wearing a wire.
They found it.
Where was he?
The last time you heard
from him.
He was up there.
[Ricki] No, no!
Aah!
♪♪
[siren wailing]
[overlapping shouting]
Who is she?
It's Ricki Stewart, the
wife's assistant.
Cordon off this area!
Look here.
I'll take that, Captain.
And who are you?
Charlie Duffy and I were
partners for 20 years.
Well, in the meantime,
I suggest you both stay out of
the line of fire.
This is my perimeter, Agent!
Everyone back to their posts.
Yes, ma'am.
FBI got an assault team
going in?
This whole place is
booby trapped.
Those guys are 'Nam vets.
Fugazi was the last thing we
heard over Charlie's wire.
I'm gonna need a weapon.
I'll meet you around back
with one.
Where are you going?
I'm gonna find Charlie.
Charlie's probably dead.
Well, I'm going in anyway.
Understand, I have no
knowledge of your going in.
I appreciate it, Richard.
As ordered, Dr. Silvera,
profiler.
She studied the note.
All right, this is good.
Follow it up.
Yeah, and?
Based on the handwriting and
syntax analysis, the person who
wrote this is white,
mid-to-late 40s.
Delusional.
Violent.
Paranoid schizophrenic.
Might be genetic, maybe coupled
with, or caused by
extreme trauma.
If they have yet to state any
ransom demands, this is about
being noticed, gaining fame.
Mm-hmm.
So what do we do?
Could you arrange for
Larry King in, uh, two hours?
Why don't they just
call King.
He let's anybody on that show.
Oh, come on, Miles.
Woodall?
Nothing yet, sir.
Find Larry King.
It might motivate their
next move.
I find it puzzling that
they're willing to wait for
Larry King.
If they truly wanted headlines,
why not make use of the press
that's already here?
Okay, so-- so, your next move
is what?
Well, with all the booby
traps, it's slow going for the
assault teams.
So, uh, we wait, talk it out.
What do you mean,
"talk it out"?
How do ya-- how do ya talk
it out?
Well, it's likely that
they're monitoring a police
radio that they stole during
the kidnapping.
But I thought they said they
would only talk to Charlie.
Well, maybe we can make
contact, get them to listen
to you.
Woodall!
Bring me the police radios.
Excuse me, has it occurred to
anyone that, uh, they've already
heard all of this on the radios?
The FBI has its own high
band, secured channels.
The terrorists are on the local
police channels.
Now, despite what you might
believe, Mr. McCurdy, we do have
some idea of what we're
doing here.
Okay.
Mister McCurdy?
Something I can do for you,
Agent Hopkins?
You can keep your mouth shut,
Mr. McCurdy.
Next time you talk to the press,
I'm going to have you arrested
for obstruction.
You got that?
What does this mean?
Nothing, nothing.
Well, what did you do, Miles?
Robert, nothing.
The-- the press grabbed me, and
I spoke to the people about how
much you appreciated this...
support in this time of need.
No.
That's all, I wasn't--
Miles, Miles, don't make this
into a campaign platform, okay?
Don't make it into anything.
[whispering] Logan.
Logan.
Psst, Higgs.
What took you so long?
Getting a gun for you.
I'm coming with you.
Here's your light.
Here's your weapon.
Let's go.
Charlie doesn't even
like you.
I don't think that
matters now.
Oh, man.
Oh, it stinks down here.
[pipe clanging to ground]
[indistinct radio chatter]
What is that?
Could mean three trip wires.
Could mean anything.
I don't understand.
The Cong.
They set so many booby traps,
they-- they couldn't remember
where they all were, so they put
little reminders up.
How do you know all that?
'Cause I was there and I'm
still here.
Ah...
trip wire number one.
Yep.
I see it.
Trip wire number two.
Yeah.
I got it.
No!
[explosion]
[sputtering, panting]
It was a spider web.
Yeah.
They don't play fair.
They started out with trip
wires, and then they-- they put
'em up.
Boss.
Where was that explosion?
We don't know yet.
We tried to contact him on the
original channel.
We know he's there.
He could be listening.
Just still no response.
Keep trying.
[hovering helicopter outside]
[radio static]
Boss!
Someone's keying the mic.
All right, Mr. Sinclair, you
try to get them to talk to you.
Come on.
Um...
uh, this is Robert Sinclair.
Hello?
Hello?
Kenny!
Uh, Kenny.
Use the name Kenny.
Hello, Kenny?
Are you there, Kenny?
That's me.
Uh, Kenny, yeah, this is
Congressman Sinclair.
I would like to speak with
my daughter.
[radio static]
Someone's talkin' to me.
Who is this?
This is Congressman Sinclair.
Hello?
Hello?
Hello?
Where's my money?
Where's Larry King?
Uh, Larry King is coming.
But it's going to take
some time.
And, the money...
[Flynn] Quit stalling.
You get me Larry King, or your
family goes out the window.
Stay off the radio.
[indistinct radio chatter]
Uh, Charlie One, we have no
residue at impact site.
[indistinct radio chatter]
You know where we are?
Not exactly.
What's that mean?
Hand me the bucket
It means, hand you
the bucket?
Hand me the bucket!
Oh.
Ah!
Charlie One, uh, you got any
measurement on propel distance
and visual--
Logan.
Come in, Logan.
We're a little busy right
now, Captain.
Higgs, what the hell are you
doing up there?
Here, it's for you.
Stand by, Captain.
We'll get back to you.
Possibly fragments of some
steel panels.
Could be nearing point of
origin, over.
Just for a second,
I would just like to talk to
my daughter.
Her name is Justine.
Kenny?
Are you there?
I-- let me talk to my daughter.
I'll have to ask Flynn when
he comes back.
Flynn.
Flynn, all right, somebody run
the name "Flynn."
Come on, let's go.
Keep him talking.
Kenny, please, just for
a second.
I just want to talk to
my daughter.
Uh, talk to me for just
a second.
Flynn told me not to.
I would like to speak with
my daughter.
I'll have to ask Flynn when
he comes back.
Kenny, please.
I just want to talk to
my daughter.
Her name is Justine.
Okay.
I-- I didn't know he was
your daddy.
Is he a good daddy?
Most of the time.
I had a good daddy.
Daddy?
Hi, baby.
Oh, how are you?
Are-- are you okay?
Yeah, we're okay, Daddy.
Well, that's good.
Is Susan okay?
Yeah, she's okay, Daddy.
Well, now, we're doing
everything we can, all right?
I love you, honey.
Just come get us, Daddy.
Come get us.
I'm trying, honey.
I'm doing everything I can.
[door opening]
Kenny!
What in the hell are you doing?
Justine?
Justine?
You started this war.
Now I'm gonna end it.
No.
Okay, I-- I-- I'm having trouble
understanding you.
[radio static]
Okay, will you please, please
talk to me?
There's, I don't know, something
wrong with this, this is fading.
I know.
I can't hear ya.
[radio static]
Don't wanna hear ya.
Try a different channel.
Tell him to go to seven.
Okay, we're having difficulty
understanding you, so would you
please switch to channel seven?
Would you please go to
channel seven?
[Higgs] Okay.
We've made it up to the
third floor.
Logan says these guys are tunnel
rats from 'Nam.
Logan also says that they were
crazy when they got out.
Will you get off of that
damn thing?
We'll get back to ya.
Who the hell is that?
Who's on that channel?
Huh?
Last transmitting station,
identify yourself, and stay off
this freq.
Liars.
You're in my ballpark now,
Mr. Logan.
Mr. Flynn.
Mr. Flynn!
Are you there?
Hello?
Hello, Mr. Flynn?
Kenny?
Kenny... how do they know
my name?
Somebody else is in
the building.
Who?
We've got an assault team on
the way up there.
They're on a high security
frequency.
We're on the local police band.
[sighing]
Find Waters.
[distant sirens, helicopter]
Can-- can I have some gum?
What?
Gum.
Uh, you have some in your purse.
Uh, sure.
You can have some gum, yeah.
Are they gonna kill us?
We're gonna be all right,
Justine.
I am so sorry.
For what?
I've treated you so badly.
I'm sorry, too.
I'm never gonna ground you
again.
[laughing nervously]
You won't have to.
I'm going to ground myself.
Oh, you better pick an
understanding husband, because
I'm never going to let you out
of my sight.
Okay.
I will.
It-- it's good you listen
to your momma.
I-- I don't have a momma.
I'm sorry.
Want-- want some gum?
Uh, that's a negative, still
working on it.
Hampered by the rescue team
securing the safety of...
Bound up, mic.
Bound up.
Uh, roger, Charlie One.
Uh, stand by.
T.O.C. says there's a wild
card in the building.
Repeat, there's a wild card in
the building.
I hope he's not a friendly,
boss, because he'll get wasted.
Waters... did you send
somebody in there?
No.
Interfering in a federal
investigation is a felony.
It's Logan McQueen,
Charlie Duffy's old partner.
He's crazy.
But if I was in there, I'd want
him sent in.
And if you knew him, you'd feel
exactly the same way.
So why don't you get smart and
try to figure out some way to
help him?
Let me tell you something,
if he does something stupid in
there, we're going to have to
kill him ourselves.
I got a team in there too, pal.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Well, I just hope he doesn't
have to stop them from doing
something stupid.
Found the mayor's aide at the
end of this corridor.
Oh, yeah?
Pick it up, bound up.
We've got three floors to go.
Great.
Up.
They're cold-blooded killers.
They're trying to kill people.
Yeah.
Grenade!
Aah!
Oh, that's close.
[indistinct radio chatter]
Let's go, go, go!
[officers shouting]
We're not alone.
If he didn't know where we
were, he does now.
Come on.
[indistinct radio chatter]
Man, this place reeks of
explosives.
Must be C4.
Yeah, tell me about it.
He's close by.
I can feel him.
Grenade!
Ah!
Down! Down!
Higgs.
You all right?
No!
[Flynn] Hey, Logan.
You were there, weren't ya?
Yeah.
I was there.
What's your name, soldier?
Corporal.
What was your rank?
I was a little higher
than you.
Nobody was higher than me.
Aah!
Bravo 3-1 to T.O.C.
We copy, Team Three.
Got another explosion, this
time with gunshots, I repeat,
with gunshots.
Don't know who is who up here.
Roger that, Team Three.
We're movin' out.
Let's go, let's go!
[indistinct radio chatter]
Where were ya hit?
Don't turn me over.
Oh.
Call in your position.
Kenny!
[sighing]
We need another flyer.
She'll do.
Susan!
No, take me.
I'll go.
Susan!
Please, take me not her.
She's just a kid, you coward!
Unh!
Okay, I'll be quiet.
But, please, not her.
Take me!
Ah!
[crying]
Kenny, you don't want to see
this happen, do you?
I know you don't.
She's just a child.
Take me.
Take me, let her go.
You'd better hope my father
never finds you!
You'd better hope you sprout
wings, little girl.
No!
No!
Please don't do this.
Please!
Kenny, do something.
Stop him! Stop him!
No, Flynn.
[Justine] Help me!
Flynn, she's too little, no!
Focus, Kenny!
No!
[muffled shouting, crying]
No! No, Flynn!
Aah!
[grunting, fighting]
[Justine crying, screaming]
Ow! Help me!
[gunshots]
He's got Justine!
Stop, Kenny!
Unh!
Oh!
Here's your gun.
I'm going after the kid.
[Justine groaning]
[indistinct radio chatter]
[grunting]
I'm on your side.
You all right, son?
Yeah.
I'll call it in.
I already have.
It ain't so bad.
Take my gear.
Okay.
Oh, come on, there must be
a way inside that building
without clipping a booby trap.
If this Logan can do it...
He wants to know who's in
there now!
The FBI can do it!
Excuse me!
Mind if we come in?
[Susan crying]
Ow!
It's all right.
It's okay.
I'm sorry.
It's all right, sweetheart.
Don't worry.
Please, please, please.
Excuse me...
Robert, I-- I know this is a bad
time, but just hear me out for
one quick second.
You have to understand what a--
a rare opportunity this is...
What?!
To make some serious
political hay.
[Susan gasping]
I got the profile on Flynn!
Here we go.
There's an Arlen Flynn with
a military record.
Military has him listed as MIA
in 1971.
Computer shows an Arlen Flynn
with an arrest record that
begins in 1975.
Maybe he's not so MIA
anymore.
Arlen M. Flynn, born 1950,
Shreveport, Louisiana.
Ah! Let me go.
Stop it!
You're hurting me.
Get!
Ow!
Rotten brat.
Ow!
[distant clattering]
[Justine] Ah!
Please, let me go!
Stop!
[grunting]
[door slamming]
[rats squeaking]
You're my ticket out of here,
honey.
Damn!
In here!
[Justine groaning]
[gun drawing, cocking]
Corporal, I'm very
disappointed in you.
These traps are very amateurish
for a tunnel rat.
Keep talkin', buddy.
Make it easy on me.
Don't hold back, Logan.
Go ahead and scream.
I know where ya are.
Ouch.
That's all you get, Corporal.

Ya gotta pay.
Corporal, it's not too late,
you know.
I can get you some help.
You and I came out of that war
all screwed up, partner.
Everybody did.
The war didn't screw me up.
Hell, 'Nam was my education.
You think I'm some homeless vet
reject like Kenny?
I get paid to do this.
Really, you got paid?
Yeah.
Except college boy
double-crossed me.
I wish he was here.
I'd show him.
Corporal, I'm coming out.
I don't think that college boy

Well, I guess we'll both see
Mr. McCurdy in hell, won't we?
Justine.
Are you okay?
[coughing]
I know some people very

There we go.

Are you okay?
Mm-hmm.
Are you? You sure?

You've got a mighty strong

[laughter]
In other news, instead of
declaring his run for the
governor's seat today,
Congressman Robert Sinclair
announced his departure
from politics.
This on the heels of last
night's arrest of Sinclair
campaign manager Miles McCurdy.
McCurdy is being charged for
his role in the kidnapping of
the congressman's wife, Susan,
and daughter, Justine,
a kidnapping that also resulted
in the death of aides Ricki
Stewart and Eric Gordon.
The ordeal is believed to be
the design of the misguided
McCurdy, in an attempt to gain
sympathy and notoriety for
Sinclair's candidacy.
Also in the news today, accused
embezzler Sy Harkin was
arrested at the private home of
Dr. Lee Chamberis.
Harkin was found recovering
from gunshot wounds and being
treated privately...
What?
By Dr. Chamberis.
Harkin is accused in the
embezzlement of nearly $100
million from the Iron Group
Mutual Funds Harkin established
some three years ago.
Bounty hunter, Sonny "Wild Man"
Coger, was responsible for the
capture of Harkin.
Coger, seen here, received the
$100,000 reward offered by
those who were hoping to find
the millions Harkin is
suspected of sheltering
throughout the world.
Coming up next, the latest on
the wrath of hurricane Isis.
Just how much destruction--
You know, you should-- you
should buy me a drink.
I saved your life.
I saved your life after you
saved my life.
Here's to the beauty and
the charm.
Which one am I?
Uh, as to you as well,
my boy.
