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.
1:35:01
And inside that building
there is also the truth.
1:35:05
The facts of this story
are also held hostage, unfortunately. . .
1:35:09
. . .by Max Brackett.
1:35:10
And I'm sorry to say
they are all at great risk.
1:35:14
I'll be back with more
of our special report after this.
1:35:23
What did you do to me, newsboy?
1:35:25
I took a bad story
and made it good TV.
1:35:28
You' re still in better shape.
I' m screwed !
1:35:30
What you want to do now
is give up and let those kids go.
1:35:37
There's still people on my side.
1:35:39
You said you've seen these things
on TV before. Remember how they end?
1:35:45
The guy dies or he winds up in jail .
1:35:48
You ain't my friend .
1:35:56
Shoot.
1:35:58
You kill someone, you'll spend your life
in jail, or they'll fry you.
