-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. . .
1:52:00
In Madeline, California,
we've got this guy Sam Baily--

1:52:02
Jay Leno just said my name.
1:52:03
Why have you chosen to stay on
in this volatile situation?

1:52:07
. . .but is anybody listening?
1:52:10
I didn't mean for this to happen.
I' m not trying for this.

1:52:13
When I go in front of the camera,
I will say that you' re in charge.

1:52:16
Say thank you.
1:52:18
You' re manipulating it.
1:52:19
I' m not manipulating anything .
I' m controlling the story.

1:52:24
I' m just kind of this guy
that has a job, goes to work everyday.

1:52:28
I don't know if anyone cares,
if anyone's listening to me.

1:52:31
It's my daddy.
