:29:02
Yes, everybody is in love with him.
:29:04
And they're not gonna be happy
if he dies because he was blackmailed...
:29:08
I blackmailed this wacko?
:29:10
The cops don't know, but
it doesn't mean you're home free.
:29:13
I'm a veteran reporter. I've seen your
kind before, the underbelly of crime.
:29:17
In all that smoke and flame,
John had a moment of weakness.
:29:21
He was destitute.
It was an impulse, stealing my purse.
:29:24
Stole your purse while saving you?
You gotta be kidding me.
:29:27
And sold it to Mr. LaPlante,
who is now blackmailing John.
:29:30
He's nuts. He saves those people,
then he swipes your purse?
:29:34
Because he was a real hero.
:29:35
He didn't expect a reward
or to be lionized by the press.
:29:39
He saved 54 people because
something made him go into that plane...
:29:43
...when his sense
told him otherwise.
:29:45
He settled for a few credit cards
that he sold for what?
:29:48
A couple of bucks?
To give him enough for a decent meal?
:29:53
All this is off the record, Chucky.
:29:55
If John lives, LaPlante
will offer his assurances.
:29:58
There'll be no more
misbehavior on his part.
:30:01
And what's more,
he's going to apologize.
:30:04
I'm gonna apologize to Bubber?
:30:07
I could deny I had
those cards on the plane.
:30:10
Lie, you mean?
:30:11
Maybe I'll tell the story
the way I just did.
:30:14
Everybody will understand John Bubber
is an even bigger hero.
:30:17
And you are the lowest fucking
thing that ever crawled.
:30:20
Your name's gonna be synonymous
with cynical opportunism.
:30:23
You're not gonna get a cent.
:30:25
I got a kid. I'm a person.
:30:27
For your child's sake...
:30:29
...rise above it! Show some decency!
You may have killed him already.
:30:36
Come on! Come on!
:30:41
Right there, pal.
:30:43
It's okay! He belongs to me.
:30:45
Come on!
:30:49
Go away!
:30:52
He's mine! Mine!
:30:53
That was Gale Gayley being escorted
into the hotel by police officers.
:30:58
Gale, who was rescued
from the plane crash by John Bubber...
