Good evening
from Madeline, California. . .

1:33:06
. . .where the eyes of the nation. . .
1:33:07
. . . remain fixed on the events taking
place inside the museum behind me.

1:33:12
But the real story I've uncovered since
I arrived here is even more troubling.

1:33:16
Quiet!
1:33:17
I came to understand the unconventional
relationship between a reporter. . .

1:33:21
. . .and his subject,
and I began to worry.

1:33:24
And as I learned more about Sam Baily's
personality, I began to worry even more.

1:33:29
The testimonies on Mr. Baily
were not reassuring.

1:33:32
He 's really a sweet boy.
1:33:35
He 's confused,
but all he 's trying to do is get by.

1:33:39
Sometimes he screws things up
because he 's. . . .

1:33:42
You could say he 's pretty weird.
1:33:44
Does he have a temper?
1:33:46
I don't even know that guy.
1:33:48
-I've seen him have a temper.
-So you 'd call him dangerous.

1:33:51
Dangerous, yeah. Dangerous.
1:33:54
This confused and dangerous man. . .
1:33:56
. . .is being advised by the reporter
covering the story.

1:33:59
Things are breaking down in there.
1:34:02
Let's get ready to move.
1:34:05
In his effort to tell
a more compelling story. . .

1:34:08
. . . the reporter, Max Brackett,
may have increased the danger. . .

1:34:11
. . .in an already critical situation.
1:34:14
I had hoped my suspicions were wrong.
1:34:16
Sadly, they were right.
1:34:18
I can guarantee
Mr. Baily is sincere in his offer.

1:34:20
I think things 'll become increasingly
unstable if you don 't grant him this.

1:34:25
Two little girls were set free,
supposedly at the behest of Baily.

1:34:30
But tapes of conversations
tell a far different story.

1:34:33
-Let's give them 2.
-I said one.

1:34:35
You shot a black man. Some people
are going to make an issue of that.

1:34:38
Show kindness to a black kid, it's hard
to play the race card against you.

1:34:42
A story that places a colleague
in an unfavorable light. . .

1:34:45
. . .is not one any newsman wants to tell.
1:34:46
Yeah, Kevin's the best.
1:34:48
We had to improvise this
after Brackett sold us out.

1:34:52
Here he is.
1:34:55
The numbers are high.
1:34:57
There are children inside that building,
held hostage at gunpoint.
