1:50:22
You be calm, because I got two things
I want to tell you.
1:50:26
I' m not listening to you as long as
you' re holding that gun.
1:50:28
Get that stupid thing away!
1:50:32
That was a shot.
Right?
1:50:34
Will you listen now?
1:50:36
We' re in a hostage situation
at the Museum of Natural History. . .
1:50:39
. . .where our correspondent,
Max Brackett, is being held hostage.
1:50:42
Do you want to tell us
why you' re here?
1:50:45
You don't.
1:50:47
I don't think you' re crazy.
I know you' re not a terrorist.
1:50:49
I know you' re just an ordinary guy
who popped his top.
1:50:51
People don't listen
to guys like me.
1:50:53
You got to connect
with those people out there!
1:50:56
I want everybody to back off,
and I'll talk when I' m good and ready.
1:51:00
-How's that?
-Sounded good to me.
1:51:03
With a simple demand,
the madness started.
1:51:06
You have to ask for a Lear jet
or a fast car.
1:51:08
I just want my job back.
1:51:09
I don't want him understood .
I want him out here and arrested .
1:51:11
With a reporter's ambition,
the story grew.
1:51:14
Mobilize every camera
and audio crew you can get.
1:51:17
Big bucks. Show business.
1:51:19
With the media 's power,
it became a spectacle.
1:51:22
You know that Sam Baily
is making you famous?
1:51:24
I just want to go home, okay?
1:51:26
Is getting the story
the same as getting the truth?
1:51:30
Police don't have any control, so
some news guy's running things?
1:51:32
Is the news what we need to know. . .
1:51:35
. . . or what we want to hear?
1:51:37
How do I know
you' re coming back?
1:51:38
Because you' re the best show
in town, Sam .
1:51:40
It may be unethical.
1:51:42
I don't want to cross the line, Lou.
I just want to move it a little.
1:51:45
-It may be immoral.
- You know you 'll sink the guy.
1:51:48
I' m not sinking him .
He's sunk.
1:51:51
But it makes great television.
1:51:53
This insanity benefits your career.
1:51:55
Stop this nonsense!
Come out!
1:51:56
I hope it does.
1:51:57
No!
1:51:58
The world is watching. . .
