shopping destination.

157
00:06:29,264 --> 00:06:30,807
Let me ask you
something, Fred,

158
00:06:30,808 --> 00:06:32,392
and don't lie to me.

159
00:06:34,311 --> 00:06:36,021
Do you like steak?

160
00:06:38,816 --> 00:06:42,360
Well, I certainly enjoy
a nice ribeye now and again.

161
00:06:42,361 --> 00:06:43,861
'Course you do!

162
00:06:43,862 --> 00:06:45,363
What honest American man
doesn't?

163
00:06:45,364 --> 00:06:46,572
<i>[Fred] Is that
what you wanted to do?</i>

164
00:06:46,573 --> 00:06:48,491
You want to build
a restaurant on your land?

165
00:06:48,492 --> 00:06:50,284
<i>[Tony] No,
not just a restaurant.</i>

166
00:06:50,285 --> 00:06:52,954
An experience!

167
00:06:52,955 --> 00:06:54,873
You know
what an experience is, Fred?

168
00:06:56,542 --> 00:06:59,001
It's something
that changes you,

169
00:06:59,002 --> 00:07:00,337
even if it's just a whisper.

170
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:03,172
An experience?

171
00:07:03,173 --> 00:07:04,423
That certainly
sounds like something.

172
00:07:04,424 --> 00:07:05,883
[Tony]
<i>Picture this, picture this.</i>

173
00:07:05,884 --> 00:07:07,677
<i>Classic American steakhouse,</i>

174
00:07:07,678 --> 00:07:10,263
<i>red booths, martinis,</i>

175
00:07:10,264 --> 00:07:12,598
all the sides
that people like,

176
00:07:12,599 --> 00:07:14,600
and the, you know,
the baked potatoes

177
00:07:14,601 --> 00:07:16,644
and the iceberg lettuce
with the blue cheese dressing,

178
00:07:16,645 --> 00:07:19,647
and don't forget about
the <i>pièce de résistance,</i>

179
00:07:19,648 --> 00:07:21,399
the steak! You see what I mean?

180
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,151
Yeah, yeah, I certainly do.

181
00:07:23,152 --> 00:07:24,902
<i>[Tony] I got a guy lined up,</i>

182
00:07:24,903 --> 00:07:26,195
<i>he could get you the best steak
you've ever had in your life,</i>

183
00:07:26,196 --> 00:07:27,029
<i>top of the line,</i>

184
00:07:27,030 --> 00:07:28,322
<i>but it wouldn't just be</i>

185
00:07:28,323 --> 00:07:30,283
for the hoi polloi,
but for regular folk too,

186
00:07:30,284 --> 00:07:32,243
you know, still have
all the ambiance

187
00:07:32,244 --> 00:07:33,661
and the waiters
and the bow-ties

188
00:07:33,662 --> 00:07:35,079
and the silver trays.

189
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:36,289
<i>[Fred] Tony, I can understand</i>

190
00:07:36,290 --> 00:07:37,165
<i>why that's
very important to you,</i>

191
00:07:37,166 --> 00:07:40,084
and I want to say I...

192
00:07:40,085 --> 00:07:41,711
I appreciate
you sharing that with us.

193
00:07:41,712 --> 00:07:44,422
<i>[Tony] Well, you know,
it wasn't just a dream, Fred.</i>

194
00:07:44,423 --> 00:07:46,048
<i>It was... it was my last chanc.</i>

195
00:07:46,049 --> 00:07:48,551
It was my last chance
to make something of my life,

196
00:07:48,552 --> 00:07:50,511
and these guys wanted
to steal it from me.

197
00:07:50,512 --> 00:07:53,347
They wanted to-to beat me,
to destroy me as a man.

198
00:07:53,348 --> 00:07:55,808
Well, I didn't take Dick here
to be a buffoon.

199
00:07:55,809 --> 00:07:57,602
I took him for vengeance!

200
00:07:57,603 --> 00:07:58,895
Well, how is Dick doing?

201
00:07:58,896 --> 00:08:00,646
<i>[Tony] Dick's fine, man!</i>

202
00:08:00,647 --> 00:08:02,940
<i>He's had a silver spoon
up his ass his entire life,</i>

203
00:08:02,941 --> 00:08:06,402
so much so where he probably
shits dimes, don't you, Dick?

204
00:08:06,403 --> 00:08:08,070
Dick just said yes.

205
00:08:08,071 --> 00:08:10,865
I wonder if I could
speak to Dick directly.

206
00:08:10,866 --> 00:08:12,325
I want to find out from him
what his condition is.

207
00:08:12,326 --> 00:08:13,743
<i>[Tony] His condition?</i>

208
00:08:13,744 --> 00:08:15,411
He's a fuckin' thief.
He got it from his father.

209
00:08:15,412 --> 00:08:17,413
<i>[Fred] Okay, Tony.
Can I speak to Dick?</i>

210
00:08:17,414 --> 00:08:19,625
- Well, listen...
- [loud thumping]

211
00:08:21,376 --> 00:08:22,668
- Was that on the radio?
- I don't know. I don't know.

212
00:08:22,669 --> 00:08:23,337
- No, it's coming through.
- Where'd it come from?

213
00:08:28,550 --> 00:08:30,844
It sounds like some...
someone's knocking at the door?

214
00:08:32,763 --> 00:08:34,263
[shouting] Who's knockin'?

215
00:08:34,264 --> 00:08:35,473
Who's there?

216
00:08:35,474 --> 00:08:37,433
<i>Wait. Hang on, Fred.</i>

217
00:08:37,434 --> 00:08:38,935
Who's knockin'?

218
00:08:38,936 --> 00:08:39,977
[officer] It's the Bomb Squad.

219
00:08:39,978 --> 00:08:42,021
Tony, can you confirm

220
00:08:42,022 --> 00:08:43,522
<i>that there's explosives
in the domicile?</i>

221
00:08:43,523 --> 00:08:45,900
You're goddamn right I do, pal!

222
00:08:45,901 --> 00:08:47,443
I got nitroglycerine rigged up

223
00:08:47,444 --> 00:08:49,153
to blow the whole place
to smithereens!

224
00:08:49,154 --> 00:08:50,447
[officer] Roger that.

225
00:08:51,907 --> 00:08:53,074
[Tony]
Are you gettin' all this, Fred?

226
00:08:53,075 --> 00:08:54,367
<i>[Fred] Yes, Tony.</i>

227
00:08:54,368 --> 00:08:55,826
<i>It sounds to me
like you're suggesting</i>

228
00:08:55,827 --> 00:08:58,079
<i>that you have your apartment
wired to explode?</i>

229
00:08:58,080 --> 00:08:59,664
[Tony] You ain't just
whistlin' Dixie, pal,

230
00:08:59,665 --> 00:09:01,082
and I know
what I'm talking about.

231
00:09:01,083 --> 00:09:03,000
I was a munitions expert
in Korea,

232
00:09:03,001 --> 00:09:04,794
and I trained cadets
at West Point,

233
00:09:04,795 --> 00:09:06,003
and that's a fuckin' fact.

234
00:09:06,004 --> 00:09:07,755
[Fred] <i>Okay, uh, Tony...</i>

235
00:09:07,756 --> 00:09:09,173
<i>[Tony] Listen. I don't like
the way these guys operate.</i>

236
00:09:09,174 --> 00:09:10,466
<i>They got snipers
across the way,</i>

237
00:09:10,467 --> 00:09:12,260
they got people
banging on my door

238
00:09:12,261 --> 00:09:14,804
just begging me
to pull this trigger.

239
00:09:14,805 --> 00:09:16,639
You know, they're lucky
I got a steady hand.

240
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,391
<i>Now listen, Fred.</i>

241
00:09:18,392 --> 00:09:20,810
<i>I'm gonna need two things,
and these are non-negotiable.</i>

242
00:09:20,811 --> 00:09:22,812
<i>The first thing is
I want an apology</i>

243
00:09:22,813 --> 00:09:25,982
from M.L. Hall himself,
no flunkies, all right?

244
00:09:25,983 --> 00:09:27,775
And then I'm gonna want
full immunity,

245
00:09:27,776 --> 00:09:29,110
'cause none of this
was my fault.

246
00:09:29,111 --> 00:09:30,736
Okay, I understand
that these are your demands.

247
00:09:30,737 --> 00:09:31,696
That will definitely help.

248
00:09:31,697 --> 00:09:32,905
<i>[Tony] That's right, demands.</i>

249
00:09:32,906 --> 00:09:34,407
I'm also gonna need
a couple of lawyers.

250
00:09:34,408 --> 00:09:35,866
You know how it is,
fine print.

251
00:09:35,867 --> 00:09:36,784
Are you writing this down?

252
00:09:36,785 --> 00:09:37,868
I am.

253
00:09:37,869 --> 00:09:39,161
<i>[Tony] Look, there's two of 'e.</i>

254
00:09:39,162 --> 00:09:41,247
One's a muckety-muck
and one's a good egg.

255
00:09:41,248 --> 00:09:43,165
It's John Ruckelshaus,

256

<i>Johnny Rucks, and, uh...</i>

257

258
00:09:48,922 --> 00:09:50,339
Uh, Charles Wilson.

<i>Charles Wilson.</i>

260
00:09:51,550 --> 00:09:53,509
John Ruckelshaus
and Charles Wilson.

261
00:09:53,510 --> 00:09:54,760
[Tony] <i>Johnny Rucks. Yeah.</i>

262
00:09:54,761 --> 00:09:56,429
<i>That's right. That's right.</i>

263
00:09:56,430 --> 00:09:57,888
[Fred] Okay, Tony. Can I...

264
00:09:57,889 --> 00:10:00,016
can I speak
to Dick Hall, please?

265
00:10:00,017 --> 00:10:01,851
[Tony] Listen, work on
those things first.

266
00:10:01,852 --> 00:10:04,603
Look into Eisner-Osco,
look into my claims,

267
00:10:04,604 --> 00:10:06,439
<i>so your listeners know
that I'm telling the truth.</i>

268
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,441
[Fred] We will look into
all of that, Tony,

269
00:10:08,442 --> 00:10:11,193
and, uh, let me just say,

270
00:10:11,194 --> 00:10:15,031
I really appreciate you
taking the time with us today.

271
00:10:15,032 --> 00:10:18,200

This is Fred Heckman,

277
00:10:36,845 --> 00:10:39,597
That was a live interview

the hostage-taker.

279

[Fred] You old son of a gun.

What do we know
about Meridian and Tony?

288
00:11:01,495 --> 00:11:02,745
Uh, standard
mortgage foreclosure.

289
00:11:02,746 --> 00:11:04,330
Let's drill a little bit
deeper down on that,

290
00:11:04,331 --> 00:11:05,664
because something
doesn't pass the smell test.

291
00:11:05,665 --> 00:11:08,542
Oh! There was that protest
out in front of Meridian

292
00:11:08,543 --> 00:11:09,627
like two weeks ago.

293
00:11:09,628 --> 00:11:11,045
I guess there was...

294
00:11:11,046 --> 00:11:12,713
out of 430 mortgages,
they foreclosed on 410.

295
00:11:12,714 --> 00:11:14,715
We should track that down
before anybody else.

296
00:11:14,716 --> 00:11:16,300
All right?
Get down to Crestwood.

297
00:11:16,301 --> 00:11:18,260
Get with Paul, get some real
boots-on-the-ground reporting.

over at Crestwood,

- Okay.

[Jerry] And I need you
to apologize to the listeners,

328

Mr. Fairbanks this was you,

Okay, Jerry, I will tell him

as news director.

Everyone's listening to IBC,
even other reporters.

- Sounds good.
- Yes, sir.

350
00:12:48,226 --> 00:12:49,477
Well, then I would
like to speak

351
00:12:49,478 --> 00:12:51,020
to a representative
from Eisner-Osco

352
00:12:51,021 --> 00:12:53,022
who can comment
on the record, please.

Yes, thank you.
Please do call me back.

Eisner-Osco's giving me
the runaround.

I frankly
do not give a shit, Fred.

00:12:58,612 --> 00:13:00,404
Pam, tell him.
- Mattress Daddy pulled out.

Fuckin' Mattress Daddy!
Our biggest sponsor.

358
00:13:02,616 --> 00:13:04,742
Why, Pam?
Let me remind you of something.

359
00:13:04,743 --> 00:13:06,410
When I first
got to this station,

360
00:13:06,411 --> 00:13:08,037
they were selling
baby chicks by mail

361
00:13:08,038 --> 00:13:09,121
and chewing tobacco.

362
00:13:09,122 --> 00:13:10,581
It was a garbage can
on the air.

363
00:13:10,582 --> 00:13:11,749
Pulled it out of the gutter

364
00:13:11,750 --> 00:13:12,958
to bring to number one
in the market.

365
00:13:12,959 --> 00:13:14,376
I wiped the filth off
and turned it

366
00:13:14,377 --> 00:13:16,253
into the number-one
radio station in Indianapolis.

367
00:13:16,254 --> 00:13:17,421
Brought in
his L.A. contacts.

368
00:13:17,422 --> 00:13:18,589
It was my L.A. contacts
that landed us

369
00:13:18,590 --> 00:13:20,007
McMahon, Martinis, and Madness.

370
00:13:20,008 --> 00:13:20,925
You think anyone can do that?

371
00:13:20,926 --> 00:13:22,176
Get Ed fuckin' McMahon

372
00:13:22,177 --> 00:13:23,385

out on the town?

373
00:13:23,386 --> 00:13:24,929
And meet Johnny Carson.

377
00:13:28,517 --> 00:13:31,393

over from Cleveland.

378

You know who else is doing that?

we're gonna have left?

first when the sponsors leave?

It's not the talent.

D.A. Kelly can't be bothered
to show his face!

469
00:16:29,948 --> 00:16:31,573
I spoke with Mr. Kiritsis.

470
00:16:31,574 --> 00:16:32,533
He has two requests.

471
00:16:32,534 --> 00:16:34,576
Demands.

472
00:16:34,577 --> 00:16:36,203
Number one,
he wants total immunity.

473
00:16:36,204 --> 00:16:37,538
[Martz]
There's no precedent for that.

474
00:16:37,539 --> 00:16:38,497
[Fred] I'm aware
there's no precedent for it.

475
00:16:38,498 --> 00:16:39,915
It's just
what he has asked for,

476
00:16:39,916 --> 00:16:41,959
along with an apology
from Meridian Mortgage,

477
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:43,961
specifically from
Mr. M.L. Hall.

478
00:16:43,962 --> 00:16:45,129
Where's your boss?

479
00:16:45,130 --> 00:16:46,839
He's apprised
of what's happening.

480
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:48,132
Ooh, is he?
Or are you two covering for him

481
00:16:48,133 --> 00:16:49,842
because you don't know
where the fuck he is?

482
00:16:49,843 --> 00:16:51,844
We know exactly where he is.

483
00:16:51,845 --> 00:16:53,637
Okay, we are just
waiting on Tony's lawyer.

484
00:16:53,638 --> 00:16:55,305
- [Ruckelshaus] Gene!
- [Gallagher] Ruck!

485
00:16:55,306 --> 00:16:56,849
Glad <i>you</i> could
make it so quickly.

486
00:16:56,850 --> 00:16:58,350
Always glad to be of service.

487
00:16:58,351 --> 00:17:00,561
I'm not sure why
Mr. Kiritsis requested us.

488
00:17:00,562 --> 00:17:02,730
I helped him

489
00:17:02,731 --> 00:17:03,897
with some zoning issues
a couple years ago, but, uh,

490
00:17:03,898 --> 00:17:05,232
I'm just not sure

491
00:17:05,233 --> 00:17:06,442
I'm the appropriate
attorney to--

492
00:17:06,443 --> 00:17:08,152
I'm with Mr. Wilson here.

493
00:17:08,153 --> 00:17:09,611
Uh, my busy trial
schedule is such--

494
00:17:09,612 --> 00:17:11,321
Defending crooked cops?

495
00:17:11,322 --> 00:17:13,407
Lieutenant Reed Moistner
is a decorated police officer

496
00:17:13,408 --> 00:17:15,033
who has been--
- Who has been

497
00:17:15,034 --> 00:17:16,994
bribing private citizens
for protection.

498
00:17:16,995 --> 00:17:19,955
[Ruckelshaus] I look forward
to swatting down all the charges

499
00:17:19,956 --> 00:17:20,998
in this Mickey Mouse game
you're playing.

500
00:17:20,999 --> 00:17:22,458
We have a goddamn witness.

501
00:17:22,459 --> 00:17:23,709
[Gallagher]
Where's your District Attorney?

502
00:17:23,710 --> 00:17:25,586
Because funny things
seem to happen

503
00:17:25,587 --> 00:17:27,004
every time
he disappears to California.

504
00:17:27,005 --> 00:17:28,380
What are you implying?

505
00:17:28,381 --> 00:17:30,966
That your <i>boss</i>
is allegedly embroiled

506
00:17:30,967 --> 00:17:32,634
with some pretty
unsavory characters,

507
00:17:32,635 --> 00:17:34,762
drugs... murder.

508
00:17:34,763 --> 00:17:35,971
Am I forgetting anything?

509
00:17:35,972 --> 00:17:37,765
He was only at that party
to investigate.

510
00:17:37,766 --> 00:17:39,224
Of course he was.
Allegedly.

511
00:17:39,225 --> 00:17:41,018
I will say this
for the District Attorney,

512
00:17:41,019 --> 00:17:42,436
he certainly keeps busy.

513
00:17:42,437 --> 00:17:43,604
- You know this is bullshit.
- David--

514
00:17:43,605 --> 00:17:44,605
[all talking at once]

515
00:17:44,606 --> 00:17:46,398
[Gallagher] Step back.

516
00:17:46,399 --> 00:17:47,524
Back up.

517
00:17:47,525 --> 00:17:50,277
Hey! Hey! Gentlemen! Please.

518
00:17:50,278 --> 00:17:52,279
Can we return
to the matter at hand?

519
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,198
Mr. Kiritsis
has requested two attorneys,

520
00:17:54,199 --> 00:17:55,699
one for the apology,

521
00:17:55,700 --> 00:17:57,159
and the other for the immunity,

522
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:58,327
so let's put one
in charge of civil,

523
00:17:58,328 --> 00:17:59,328
and one in charge of criminal.

524
00:17:59,329 --> 00:18:00,871
Criminal.

525
00:18:00,872 --> 00:18:02,956
Civil. Good? Good.

526
00:18:02,957 --> 00:18:04,041
Now, I suggest
<i>somebody</i> get on the phone

527
00:18:04,042 --> 00:18:05,209
to Meridian Mortgage

528
00:18:05,210 --> 00:18:06,835
and start working
on that apology.

529
00:18:06,836 --> 00:18:08,212
I need to be elsewhere.

530
00:18:08,213 --> 00:18:09,380
Hey, you're criminal.
He said it, not me.

531
00:18:18,556 --> 00:18:21,141
So, this is pretty crazy, huh?

532
00:18:21,142 --> 00:18:23,060
Yep.

533
00:18:23,061 --> 00:18:24,394
Tony, uh...

534
00:18:24,395 --> 00:18:25,854
he seems to have
a lot of goodwill

535
00:18:25,855 --> 00:18:27,606
from some of the officers,
even though he's, um...

536
00:18:27,607 --> 00:18:30,150
well, he's-he's had
some troubles.

537
00:18:30,151 --> 00:18:32,402
You know the Kiritsis family?

538
00:18:32,403 --> 00:18:35,030
No, just what
I've heard on the radio.

539
00:18:35,031 --> 00:18:36,366
Well, he's a good guy.

540
00:18:38,201 --> 00:18:40,410
I have a... cousin.

541
00:18:40,411 --> 00:18:42,538
Similar situation.

542
00:18:42,539 --> 00:18:44,832
Nicest guy, he just...

543
00:18:44,833 --> 00:18:47,042
gets a little wiggly
now and then, you know?

544
00:18:47,043 --> 00:18:51,129
Has to howl at the moon.
But we love him to bits.

545
00:18:51,130 --> 00:18:52,714
That sounds
like Tony's family.

546
00:18:52,715 --> 00:18:55,801
Except his two brothers.
He fuckin' hates 'em.

547
00:18:55,802 --> 00:18:57,261
But his brother, Jimmie,
and his sister--

548
00:18:57,262 --> 00:18:59,012
He has a sister?

549
00:18:59,013 --> 00:19:00,556
She must be worried sick
about him.

550
00:19:00,557 --> 00:19:02,016
Mm. Imagine so.

551
00:19:03,893 --> 00:19:06,353
They had a falling-out
over some money years ago.

552
00:19:06,354 --> 00:19:07,647
That's a shame.

553
00:19:09,023 --> 00:19:10,566
It is.

554
00:19:10,567 --> 00:19:11,441
You know, they haven't spoken
since it happened.

555
00:19:11,442 --> 00:19:13,861
Since... what happened?

556
00:19:13,862 --> 00:19:14,988
Well--

557
00:19:19,075 --> 00:19:21,243
What'd you say your name was?

558
00:19:21,244 --> 00:19:23,495
Uh, oh, I'm Ginny.

559
00:19:23,496 --> 00:19:24,997
Who are you with, again?

560
00:19:24,998 --> 00:19:26,540
No one.

561
00:19:26,541 --> 00:19:27,916
So, uh...

562
00:19:27,917 --> 00:19:29,127
what happened between them?

563
00:19:30,712 --> 00:19:32,463
It's nice talking
with you, Ginny.

564
00:19:34,549 --> 00:19:36,258
Well, I'll, uh...

565
00:19:36,259 --> 00:19:37,759
I'll keep you in my prayers,
Officer.

566
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:39,845
[Ben] In an interview
with WIBC's own Fred Heckman,

567
00:19:39,846 --> 00:19:41,722
Kiritsis asserted
his expertise in the area,

568
00:19:41,723 --> 00:19:43,181
citing his time

569
00:19:43,182 --> 00:19:45,601
<i>as a munitions instructor
at West Point.</i>

570
00:19:45,602 --> 00:19:47,644
<i>WIBC contacted West Point,</i>

571
00:19:47,645 --> 00:19:49,354
<i>who would not confirm that
Kiritsis was an instructor.</i>

572
00:19:49,355 --> 00:19:51,481
[Tony] "Not confirm"?

573
00:19:51,482 --> 00:19:53,358
What do you mean,
"not confirm"?

574
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,611
I was a small-arms instructor
at West Point

575
00:19:55,612 --> 00:19:57,279
for five fuckin' years!

576
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,114
I served as a corporal
in the Korean War.

577
00:19:59,115 --> 00:20:01,783
...the Bomb Squad is
taking Kiritsis at his word.

578
00:20:01,784 --> 00:20:04,119
This is Ben Hairston, WIBC.

579
00:20:04,120 --> 00:20:05,829
[click]

580
00:20:05,830 --> 00:20:07,414
I think I got something.

581
00:20:07,415 --> 00:20:08,791
"Not confirm"?

582
00:20:10,209 --> 00:20:12,002
You weren't drafted like me.

583
00:20:12,003 --> 00:20:14,171
Your daddy paid
for your college deferment,

584
00:20:14,172 --> 00:20:16,381
then you joined
some fraternity and wore togas

585
00:20:16,382 --> 00:20:18,550
and siss-boom-bah,
you fucking sissy.

586
00:20:18,551 --> 00:20:21,887
Not me! I've been working
every day of my goddamn life.

587
00:20:21,888 --> 00:20:22,971
I know what you're gonna say.

588
00:20:22,972 --> 00:20:24,222
What, you served in the Navy?

589
00:20:24,223 --> 00:20:26,058
As an officer,
during peace time?

590
00:20:26,059 --> 00:20:28,268
Not as a grunt
in the Korean War.

591
00:20:28,269 --> 00:20:29,728
What, where were you stationed,
San Diego?

592
00:20:29,729 --> 00:20:31,480
Worst thing to happen to you
during your tour

593
00:20:31,481 --> 00:20:32,606
was a goddamn sunburn!

594
00:20:32,607 --> 00:20:33,857
"Not confirm."

595
00:20:33,858 --> 00:20:34,733
[phone rings]

596
00:20:34,734 --> 00:20:36,401
What is it?

597
00:20:36,402 --> 00:20:37,444
<i>[man] Is this Tony Kiritsis?</i>

598
00:20:37,445 --> 00:20:39,529
Speaking!

599
00:20:39,530 --> 00:20:43,575
<i>Yeah. You know what you should
do to that rich prick?</i>

600
00:20:43,576 --> 00:20:45,285
<i>Blow his head off.</i>

601
00:20:45,286 --> 00:20:46,411
<i>Come on.
Blow his fucking head off!</i>

602
00:20:46,412 --> 00:20:48,872
You're a lot sicker
than I am, pal.

603
00:20:48,873 --> 00:20:50,582
[bangs phone down]

604
00:20:50,583 --> 00:20:53,085
Can you believe these people?
He's telling me to shoot you.

605
00:20:53,086 --> 00:20:56,046
What the fuck's
the matter with people?

606
00:20:56,047 --> 00:20:57,215
Goddammit.

607
00:20:59,676 --> 00:21:01,051
[Fred] Will you please tell him

608
00:21:01,052 --> 00:21:03,220
I called
about Meridian Mortgage?

609
00:21:03,221 --> 00:21:04,972
- [knocking on door]
- Yeah?

610
00:21:04,973 --> 00:21:06,348
[Judy] They need you
in the conference room.

611
00:21:06,349 --> 00:21:07,892
Bill Hall's on the line.

612
00:21:10,269 --> 00:21:11,937
[Fred] Mr. Hall?
We're all here, uh,

613
00:21:11,938 --> 00:21:13,647
ready to help you
with the apology

614
00:21:13,648 --> 00:21:15,899
that Tony has demanded
from Meridian Mortgage.

615
00:21:15,900 --> 00:21:19,194
<i>Well, I-I appreciate
your position, but...</i>

616
00:21:19,195 --> 00:21:22,114
<i>[chuckles] I, uh, I need you
to appreciate mine.</i>

617
00:21:22,115 --> 00:21:23,824
[Gallagher] Your brother's got

618
00:21:23,825 --> 00:21:26,493
a shotgun wired
to the back of his skull, Bill.

619
00:21:26,494 --> 00:21:29,413
How hard can it be
to muster up an apology?

620
00:21:29,414 --> 00:21:32,541
<i>[Bill] Well, see, the, uh...
the demand</i>

621
00:21:32,542 --> 00:21:34,751
<i>is that Dad give...</i>

622
00:21:34,752 --> 00:21:36,044
<i>[whispering]
...the apology, right?</i>

623
00:21:36,045 --> 00:21:37,170
<i>[chuckles nervously]</i>

624
00:21:37,171 --> 00:21:38,423
[Ruckelshaus]
That's right, Bill.

625
00:21:41,384 --> 00:21:42,509
Is your father there?

626
00:21:42,510 --> 00:21:44,511
<i>Can we, uh... speak to him?</i>

627
00:21:44,512 --> 00:21:46,222
Well, gee, uh...

628
00:21:48,182 --> 00:21:50,809
...Dad's, uh...

629
00:21:50,810 --> 00:21:52,811
sort of indisposed right now.

630
00:21:52,812 --> 00:21:54,855
[Gallagher] Well, gee, Bill,

631
00:21:54,856 --> 00:21:56,523
maybe you could get him
on the fucking phone.

632
00:21:56,524 --> 00:21:57,733
He's not here.

633
00:21:57,734 --> 00:21:59,067
In the office?

634
00:21:59,068 --> 00:22:00,153
In the state.

635
00:22:02,321 --> 00:22:05,073
Well, uh... where is he?

636
00:22:05,074 --> 00:22:06,575
<i>[Bill]
I believe he's in Florida.</i>

637
00:22:06,576 --> 00:22:10,203
Well, can you...
can you help us out here?

638
00:22:10,204 --> 00:22:11,830
Bill?

639
00:22:11,831 --> 00:22:13,707
Can we get in touch with him?

640
00:22:13,708 --> 00:22:16,084
<i>[Bill] Gosh, Fred,
that's just it. Uh...</i>

641
00:22:16,085 --> 00:22:17,919
We can't find him.

642
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:19,547
<i>[Gallagher]
Can't find who, Bill?</i>

643
00:22:21,007 --> 00:22:24,468
We can't seem to locate M.L.

644
00:22:24,469 --> 00:22:27,471
You can't seem to locate
your own father,

645
00:22:27,472 --> 00:22:29,139
other than knowing

646
00:22:29,140 --> 00:22:30,807
that he's in
the state of fuckin' Florida?

647
00:22:30,808 --> 00:22:32,517
<i>[Bill] Yeah, if pressed,</i>

648
00:22:32,518 --> 00:22:34,311
<i>I'd say in
the Fort Lauderdale area.</i>

649
00:22:34,312 --> 00:22:37,189
- "If pressed"?! If--
- Uh, look.

650
00:22:37,190 --> 00:22:39,107
Can you help us find him, Bill?

651
00:22:39,108 --> 00:22:41,068
We really need M.L.
to sign off on this

652
00:22:41,069 --> 00:22:42,195
to help your brother.

653
00:22:44,030 --> 00:22:46,156
<i>[Bill]
I'm gonna see what I can do.</i>

654
00:22:46,157 --> 00:22:47,825
[call disconnects]

655
00:22:50,828 --> 00:22:52,537
[banging handset down]

656
00:22:52,538 --> 00:22:54,206
What's the matter
with these people?

657
00:22:54,207 --> 00:22:55,373
I mean, at this rate,

658
00:22:55,374 --> 00:22:57,125
we're gonna be here
until Easter,

659
00:22:57,126 --> 00:22:59,461
and someone'll be dead!

660
00:22:59,462 --> 00:23:01,630
And I-I don't mean Jesus!

661
00:23:01,631 --> 00:23:02,673
Excuse me.

662
00:23:06,594 --> 00:23:08,261
Hey, where are you at
on the ground right now?

663
00:23:08,262 --> 00:23:09,304
What happened at the meeting?

664
00:23:09,305 --> 00:23:10,555
<i>It was a total fiasco.</i>

665
00:23:10,556 --> 00:23:11,848
I'll fill you in later.

666
00:23:11,849 --> 00:23:13,141
Uh, where are you at
with these interviews?

667
00:23:13,142 --> 00:23:14,226
<i>Uh, well, Tony's got</i>

668
00:23:14,227 --> 00:23:15,644
a lot of friends
in law enforcement,

669
00:23:15,645 --> 00:23:17,145
believe it or not.

670
00:23:17,146 --> 00:23:18,814
Paul was talking
to a Sheriff's Deputy

671
00:23:18,815 --> 00:23:20,273
who had breakfast with Tony
just last week.

672
00:23:20,274 --> 00:23:21,650
What about the residents?

673
00:23:21,651 --> 00:23:23,735
Uh, mostly pensioners,
can barely afford rent,

674
00:23:23,736 --> 00:23:25,403
charged per phone call.
- [Pearl] No, no.

675
00:23:25,404 --> 00:23:27,656
[Ben] Uh, correction,

676
00:23:27,657 --> 00:23:29,533
30 free calls per month,

677
00:23:29,534 --> 00:23:31,409
and then they're charged
beyond that.

678
00:23:31,410 --> 00:23:33,370
Long distance is extra,
of course.

679
00:23:33,371 --> 00:23:35,789
Uh, hey, uh, Ginny was supposed
to be here a half hour ago.

680
00:23:35,790 --> 00:23:36,748
You seen her anywhere?

681
00:23:36,749 --> 00:23:38,208
<i>[Ginny] Uh, I'm here.</i>

682
00:23:38,209 --> 00:23:39,709
Oh, that's funny, because
you're supposed to be here.

683
00:23:39,710 --> 00:23:43,630
Sorry. I...
might have something, a story.

684
00:23:43,631 --> 00:23:44,590
Tell me.

685
00:23:46,050 --> 00:23:47,467
Tony's sister.

686
00:23:47,468 --> 00:23:49,177
One of the cops let slip

687
00:23:49,178 --> 00:23:50,387
that there was a dispute
over money between them

688
00:23:50,388 --> 00:23:51,596
a while back.

689
00:23:51,597 --> 00:23:54,474
Uh, she's at a nearby
mobile-home park.

690
00:23:54,475 --> 00:23:56,518
All right, follow the lead,
but don't fuck around.

691
00:23:56,519 --> 00:23:58,687
You got him cussing at you.
Ginny, welcome to the club.

692
00:23:58,688 --> 00:24:00,939
<i>[Fred] Lot of tentacles
to this story.</i>

693
00:24:00,940 --> 00:24:03,525
It's more than
just a hostage situation.

694
00:24:03,526 --> 00:24:05,152
There's something here.

695
00:24:05,153 --> 00:24:06,987
You're sounding
like the guy who hired me!

696
00:24:06,988 --> 00:24:08,488
I have to admit,
it's been a while.

697
00:24:08,489 --> 00:24:10,115
<i>[Ben] It's a hell of a thing.</i>

698
00:24:10,116 --> 00:24:12,285
Yeah, all right.
Keep me posted.

699
00:24:13,828 --> 00:24:15,829
I haven't heard him like that.

700
00:24:15,830 --> 00:24:17,330
Yeah, Fred's been at this
a long time.

701
00:24:17,331 --> 00:24:19,082
I forget that
he was a reporter-reporter.

702
00:24:19,083 --> 00:24:20,584
Yeah, you never think
you'd get a story like this

703
00:24:20,585 --> 00:24:22,294
in Indianapolis.
- Mm-mm.

704
00:24:22,295 --> 00:24:23,420
Oh! Uh, you gotta get going.

705
00:24:23,421 --> 00:24:24,588
Uh, there's an extra

706
00:24:24,589 --> 00:24:25,881
tape recorder and mic
in the van.

707
00:24:25,882 --> 00:24:26,840
Okay, well, I'll see you.

708
00:24:26,841 --> 00:24:28,050
Okay.

709
00:24:29,886 --> 00:24:31,178
[door opens and closes]

710
00:24:31,179 --> 00:24:32,721
[chuckles]

711
00:24:32,722 --> 00:24:34,640
[upbeat music]

712
00:24:47,737 --> 00:24:49,571
Hmm.

713
00:24:49,572 --> 00:24:50,822
Tell him what you just told me.

714
00:24:50,823 --> 00:24:53,325
Uh, when I was there,
at Meridian,

715
00:24:53,326 --> 00:24:55,202
when they gave
Mr. Kiritsis his mortgage,

716
00:24:55,203 --> 00:24:56,953
I didn't really understand
why it went through,

717
00:24:56,954 --> 00:24:59,164
because he didn't
have any income,

718
00:24:59,165 --> 00:25:00,540
and I thought that was strange.

719
00:25:00,541 --> 00:25:02,709
But I-I don't blame Mr. Hall,
because he's kind,

720
00:25:02,710 --> 00:25:04,377
no matter what people
say about him.

721
00:25:04,378 --> 00:25:06,171
No matter what anyone says
about M.L. Hall?

722
00:25:06,172 --> 00:25:07,380
No. Dick.

723
00:25:07,381 --> 00:25:09,132
Nobody likes M.L.

724
00:25:09,133 --> 00:25:10,592
Huh! Okay. Well, I'm gonna

725
00:25:10,593 --> 00:25:12,302
want to probably talk to you
further about that.

726
00:25:12,303 --> 00:25:13,345
Thank you, Helen.
- Oh, you're welcome.

727
00:25:13,346 --> 00:25:14,596
You better get back
to the phones.

728
00:25:14,597 --> 00:25:16,473
They're ringing off the hook.

729
00:25:16,474 --> 00:25:17,807
People keep calling in!

730
00:25:17,808 --> 00:25:19,559
They want us to re-air
your interview with Tony.

731
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:20,602
What?

732
00:25:20,603 --> 00:25:21,603
In its entirety.

733
00:25:21,604 --> 00:25:23,271
[Jerry] No fucking way!

734
00:25:23,272 --> 00:25:25,106
[Judy] I am just telling you
what the listeners are saying.

735
00:25:25,107 --> 00:25:26,274
Some people
are mad they missed it,

736
00:25:26,275 --> 00:25:27,400
and they want us
to run it again.

737
00:25:27,401 --> 00:25:29,194
Well, how many calls
are we talking?

738
00:25:29,195 --> 00:25:31,529
I don't have an exact number,
Jerry, but at least a hundred.

739
00:25:31,530 --> 00:25:33,031
- [phone ringing]
- A hundred?

740
00:25:33,032 --> 00:25:34,407
WIBC. Judy speaking.

741
00:25:34,408 --> 00:25:36,701
Okay. I'll look into it.

742
00:25:36,702 --> 00:25:37,744
I'll need to talk
to Mr. Fairbanks.

743
00:25:37,745 --> 00:25:39,329
Not Mattress Daddy?

744
00:25:39,330 --> 00:25:40,288
Fuck you, Fred.

745
00:25:40,289 --> 00:25:42,374
Call on line one.

746
00:25:42,375 --> 00:25:43,541
I have a call, Jerry,
on line one.

747
00:25:43,542 --> 00:25:44,417
Thank you, Judy.

748
00:25:44,418 --> 00:25:46,212
Go get this call.

749
00:25:50,383 --> 00:25:51,466
Hello?

750
00:25:51,467 --> 00:25:53,760
<i>Fred? Ralph Bass here.</i>

751
00:25:53,761 --> 00:25:55,971
<i>In our last conversation,
you mentioned your kids,</i>

752
00:25:55,972 --> 00:25:57,639
<i>and it occurred to me</i>

753
00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:58,974
<i>that my wife
just so happens to know</i>

754
00:25:58,975 --> 00:26:00,433
<i>every good school
in the Tri-State area,</i>

755
00:26:00,434 --> 00:26:01,935
<i>and, believe me,</i>

756
00:26:01,936 --> 00:26:03,520
<i>she'd be happy
to talk to your wife,</i>

757
00:26:03,521 --> 00:26:04,688
<i>give her
the lay of the land.</i>

758
00:26:04,689 --> 00:26:06,106
Well, that is
a very nice offer,

759
00:26:06,107 --> 00:26:08,817
and I do appreciate
your enthusiasm for me.

760
00:26:08,818 --> 00:26:11,319
<i>[Ralph]
And for</i> My Town Indy.

761
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,239
<i>I mean,</i> "My Town New York"
<i>has a ring to it!</i>

762
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,116
[chuckles] It sure does,

763
00:26:16,117 --> 00:26:18,285
but we're kind of in the middle
of a breaking news story here.

764
00:26:18,286 --> 00:26:20,495
We've got a hostage situation
in Indianapolis.

765
00:26:20,496 --> 00:26:22,831
A gunman has kidnapped
his mortgage broker.

766
00:26:22,832 --> 00:26:25,166
<i>Never a dull moment,
not even in Indiana.</i>

767
00:26:25,167 --> 00:26:27,002
No, no.

768
00:26:27,003 --> 00:26:29,087
No, in fact, I was able
to interview the gunman

769
00:26:29,088 --> 00:26:30,839
live on the air.

770
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:32,215
<i>You put him on the air?</i>

771
00:26:32,216 --> 00:26:33,758
I did. It was one of
the hardest decisions

772
00:26:33,759 --> 00:26:35,135
I've ever had to make,

773
00:26:35,136 --> 00:26:37,012
but it turned out to be
the interview of my life.

774
00:26:37,013 --> 00:26:39,306
<i>There any national
outfits there?</i>

775
00:26:39,307 --> 00:26:41,433
No, but I bet there will be
by day's end.

776
00:26:41,434 --> 00:26:43,310
<i>And do you have an exclusive?</i>

777
00:26:43,311 --> 00:26:44,644
I do.

778
00:26:44,645 --> 00:26:46,188
In fact,
he'll only talk to me.

779
00:26:48,482 --> 00:26:51,526
See, Ralph, this is
what I still want to do.

780
00:26:51,527 --> 00:26:53,361
This is what I meant
when I said I'm more

781
00:26:53,362 --> 00:26:55,573
than just <i>My Town Indy</i>
or <i>My Town New York.</i>

782
00:26:56,949 --> 00:26:58,616
[sighing]

783
00:26:58,617 --> 00:27:00,285
I'm a reporter, Ralph.

784
00:27:00,286 --> 00:27:01,703
<i>You want to do hard news.</i>

785
00:27:01,704 --> 00:27:03,872
I do.

786
00:27:03,873 --> 00:27:05,749
This could be a story

787
00:27:05,750 --> 00:27:08,293
about a madman taking
his mortgage broker hostage,

788
00:27:08,294 --> 00:27:10,879
or an indictment
on the American Dream, or both.

789
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,089
<i>Sounds like CBS.</i>

790
00:27:13,090 --> 00:27:14,758
<i>How would you feel about</i>

791
00:27:14,759 --> 00:27:16,719
<i>broadcasting this story nationally?</i>

792
00:27:19,055 --> 00:27:21,139
[Jerry] You're right.
It is challenging.

793
00:27:21,140 --> 00:27:22,974
You know, we want
to do good journalism.

794
00:27:22,975 --> 00:27:24,225
I mean, that's
our number-one thing.

795
00:27:24,226 --> 00:27:25,268
Of course. Yeah.

796
00:27:25,269 --> 00:27:26,603
Hi, honey. How are you?

797
00:27:26,604 --> 00:27:28,646
Hi. Uh, Jerry was just
telling me about the FCC.

798
00:27:28,647 --> 00:27:29,731
[Fred] Oh, yeah.

799
00:27:29,732 --> 00:27:31,316
Um, I brought you

800
00:27:31,317 --> 00:27:32,650
clean shirts
and your Dopp kit

801
00:27:32,651 --> 00:27:33,651
in case you don't
make it home tonight.

802
00:27:33,652 --> 00:27:35,779
It's $300 per fu--, uh...

803
00:27:35,780 --> 00:27:37,489
There's still no word
from Mr. Fairbanks.

804
00:27:37,490 --> 00:27:38,740
I'm so glad that you came by.

805
00:27:38,741 --> 00:27:40,575
I want to talk to you
about something.

806
00:27:40,576 --> 00:27:42,702
Um... drop these off.

807
00:27:42,703 --> 00:27:44,163
Come take a walk with me.

808
00:27:45,873 --> 00:27:47,457
How are you faring?

809
00:27:47,458 --> 00:27:49,751
You know, uh,
it's a lot going on.

810
00:27:49,752 --> 00:27:51,087
- Yeah.
- Yeah.

811
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:53,964
[she laughs]

812
00:27:55,049 --> 00:27:56,299
Come here.

813
00:27:56,300 --> 00:27:57,718
- Hi.
- Hi.

814
00:27:59,512 --> 00:28:00,637
Mm.

815
00:28:00,638 --> 00:28:02,263
[chuckles] What's going on?

816
00:28:02,264 --> 00:28:03,723
[he sighs]

817
00:28:03,724 --> 00:28:05,141
Sorry.
I got caught up in the moment.

818
00:28:05,142 --> 00:28:07,143
You got caught up?

819
00:28:07,144 --> 00:28:09,062
[sighing] I'm not myself.

820
00:28:09,063 --> 00:28:10,356
Say more.

821
00:28:11,941 --> 00:28:13,359
Uh...

822
00:28:15,403 --> 00:28:18,530
You should probably...
go home.

823
00:28:18,531 --> 00:28:20,366
No.

824
00:28:22,326 --> 00:28:23,785
Are you under
a lot of pressure?

825
00:28:23,786 --> 00:28:26,287
[chuckles] Uh...

826
00:28:26,288 --> 00:28:27,456
Yes.

827
00:28:30,084 --> 00:28:32,836
I bet this closet
has seen some action.

828
00:28:32,837 --> 00:28:35,005
[they chuckle]

829
00:28:38,634 --> 00:28:40,803
Let me walk you out.

830
00:28:46,267 --> 00:28:47,726
Okay.

831
00:28:54,108 --> 00:28:55,693
[knocking]

832
00:28:59,321 --> 00:29:00,905
[Tony] Motherfuck!

833
00:29:00,906 --> 00:29:03,576
[music on the radio playing]

834
00:29:05,411 --> 00:29:07,996
Trust someone?
Most trusted man in radio,

835
00:29:07,997 --> 00:29:09,497
And then you know what happens?

836
00:29:09,498 --> 00:29:10,623
They go and say
you're a fucking liar!

837
00:29:10,624 --> 00:29:12,125
Motherfuckers.

838
00:29:12,126 --> 00:29:15,044
[music playing on radio]

839
00:29:15,045 --> 00:29:16,672
Uh, ma'am,
are you Effie Kiritsis?

840
00:29:18,174 --> 00:29:19,716
I'm Ginny Hughes with WIBC.

841
00:29:19,717 --> 00:29:21,634
I wanted to ask you
a few questions.

842
00:29:21,635 --> 00:29:23,887
[cranks up radio volume]

843
00:29:23,888 --> 00:29:25,680
Okay, not a problem.

844
00:29:25,681 --> 00:29:27,223
I'll just go next door
and I'll talk to your neighbors.

845
00:29:27,224 --> 00:29:28,766
[radio blares]

846
00:29:28,767 --> 00:29:30,643
Wait.

847
00:29:30,644 --> 00:29:31,729
[radio stops playing]

848
00:29:33,606 --> 00:29:35,691
Don't go bothering my neighbors.

849
00:29:37,401 --> 00:29:38,902
[Tony] Call me a fuckin' liar?

850
00:29:38,903 --> 00:29:43,281
They wouldn't know
a fuckin' grunt--

851
00:29:43,282 --> 00:29:45,409
[radio playing music faintly]

852
00:29:47,453 --> 00:29:48,620
No wonder I'm so fucked up.

853
00:29:48,621 --> 00:29:50,371
They say I'm a fuckin' liar.

854
00:29:50,372 --> 00:29:52,165
What do I would lie about?

855
00:29:52,166 --> 00:29:54,501
You-- you think Indianapolis
is cold in the winter?

856
00:29:54,502 --> 00:29:56,629
Should try being on
a fucking mountain in Korea.

857
00:29:59,131 --> 00:30:01,049
Um...

858
00:30:01,050 --> 00:30:02,426
is it okay
if I take notes?

859
00:30:06,305 --> 00:30:08,139
So, I guess you heard about

860
00:30:08,140 --> 00:30:09,934
what Tony did
to get his money from me?

861
00:30:11,352 --> 00:30:12,144
Mm-hmm.

862
00:30:17,233 --> 00:30:20,319
[Effie] As far as I'm concerned,
it was a family matter.

863
00:30:21,737 --> 00:30:22,571
Okay.

864
00:30:24,615 --> 00:30:26,491
I never called the police.

865
00:30:26,492 --> 00:30:28,035
I never wanted
to press charges.

866
00:30:32,289 --> 00:30:34,415
Do you mind if I record this?

867
00:30:34,416 --> 00:30:35,959
[Gallagher]
Oh, you've gotta give us a win.

868
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:37,877
You've gotta give us,
Hey! Fred?

869
00:30:37,878 --> 00:30:39,546
Remind these weasels

870
00:30:39,547 --> 00:30:41,756
that we're hip-deep
in a hostage crisis

871
00:30:41,757 --> 00:30:44,259
and their boss needs to respond
to the immunity--

872
00:30:44,260 --> 00:30:45,218
There's a process!

873
00:30:45,219 --> 00:30:47,470
Don't give me that horseshit!

874
00:30:47,471 --> 00:30:49,597
You still can't find him,
can you?

875
00:30:49,598 --> 00:30:50,890
<i>[walkie-talkie]
We're ready for you, Chief.</i>

876
00:30:50,891 --> 00:30:52,225
Roger that.

877
00:30:52,226 --> 00:30:53,810
Gotta go.

878
00:30:53,811 --> 00:30:56,062
Hey. But let me know when
Malibu Barbie gets back to town.

879
00:30:56,063 --> 00:30:57,021
He's at a conference!

880
00:30:57,022 --> 00:30:58,398
[Gallagher] Oh, bullshit.

881
00:30:58,399 --> 00:31:00,066
- Okay.
- [door closing]

882
00:31:00,067 --> 00:31:02,277
Civil,
where are we with this apology?

883
00:31:02,278 --> 00:31:03,945
Meridian is working
on a draft.

884
00:31:03,946 --> 00:31:05,154
And?

885
00:31:05,155 --> 00:31:06,948
It needs to be okayed
by M.L.

886
00:31:06,949 --> 00:31:09,492
And M.L. still
cannot be contacted.

887
00:31:09,493 --> 00:31:10,994
[Fred] What am I supposed
to tell Tony about this, huh?

888
00:31:10,995 --> 00:31:13,580
Mr, uh, Fairbanks
wants to talk to you

889
00:31:13,581 --> 00:31:15,124
in, uh, in my office.

890
00:31:17,251 --> 00:31:18,669
Excuse me, gentlemen.

891
00:31:21,130 --> 00:31:21,880
[door closing]

892
00:31:24,842 --> 00:31:27,136
[Jerry] It-it's line five.

893
00:31:29,888 --> 00:31:31,431
[Fred] Hello, Mr. Fairbanks?

894
00:31:31,432 --> 00:31:32,849
<i>Fred, I want
to congratulate you</i>

895
00:31:32,850 --> 00:31:35,768
<i>on a well-conducted interview
with a madman.</i>

896
00:31:35,769 --> 00:31:37,520
<i>That interview
has gotten tongues wagging</i>

897
00:31:37,521 --> 00:31:38,980
<i>all over our great city.</i>

898
00:31:38,981 --> 00:31:40,523
<i>People cannot
get enough of it.</i>

899
00:31:40,524 --> 00:31:44,485
<i>I want WIBC to be the name
on everybody's lips.</i>

900
00:31:44,486 --> 00:31:46,821
<i>You and this lunatic
are the best thing on radio.</i>

901
00:31:46,822 --> 00:31:48,364
Fred! It's Tony.

902
00:31:48,365 --> 00:31:49,699
I'll take it in my office.

903
00:31:49,700 --> 00:31:51,326
Thank you, Mr. Fairbanks.

904
00:31:51,327 --> 00:31:53,703
Uh... I-I've gotta go.

905
00:31:53,704 --> 00:31:55,455
- [hanging up]
- [Jerry] Uh...

906
00:31:55,456 --> 00:31:56,748
Yeah, okay.

907
00:31:56,749 --> 00:31:58,333
- [Fred] What line?
- [Judy] Uh, two.

908
00:31:58,334 --> 00:31:59,542
[Fred] Tape it.

909
00:31:59,543 --> 00:32:00,668
[Jerry] Tape it?
Why are we taping this?

910
00:32:00,669 --> 00:32:02,170
No! We need to go on the air!

911
00:32:02,171 --> 00:32:04,088
Jerry, I'm not prepared
to go on the air live with it.

912
00:32:04,089 --> 00:32:06,257
- You heard Mr. Fairbanks!
- He's gonna ask questions

913
00:32:06,258 --> 00:32:07,467
that I am not
prepared to answer!

914
00:32:07,468 --> 00:32:08,635
[Jerry] Do you
even listen to me?

915
00:32:08,636 --> 00:32:09,511
[Fred] We don't have
the answer to them

916
00:32:13,515 --> 00:32:15,225
Tony?

917
00:32:16,685 --> 00:32:18,019
Uh, Tony? Did we lose him?

918
00:32:18,020 --> 00:32:19,312
Tony, are you there?

919
00:32:19,313 --> 00:32:20,272
Tony!

920
00:32:22,566 --> 00:32:24,193
<i>Are-are-are you there?</i>

921
00:32:26,445 --> 00:32:28,446
Yes, Mr. Heckman. I'm here.

922
00:32:28,447 --> 00:32:30,490
Ah, welcome back
to the program.

923
00:32:30,491 --> 00:32:32,825
[to Gallagher]
Any news at all? Fuck.

924
00:32:32,826 --> 00:32:34,786
How are we doing?

925
00:32:34,787 --> 00:32:38,122
<i>[Tony] I'm a little concerned
about your station's reporting.</i>

926
00:32:38,123 --> 00:32:39,791
- [Fred] Oh?
- [Tony] I heard you broadcast

927
00:32:39,792 --> 00:32:41,459
that you couldn't
find any record

928
00:32:41,460 --> 00:32:43,503
that I had been
at West Point.

929
00:32:43,504 --> 00:32:46,214
<i>Well, who would like
to bet me $100,000</i>

930
00:32:46,215 --> 00:32:48,174
that I was there?

931
00:32:48,175 --> 00:32:50,176
[he chuckles]

932
00:32:50,177 --> 00:32:52,720
Well, tell them
to get their 100,000 bucks out,

933
00:32:52,721 --> 00:32:54,931
because I was there as an
advisor to the instructor

934
00:32:54,932 --> 00:32:56,891
on heavy infantry weapons.

935
00:32:56,892 --> 00:33:00,061
That's anti-personnel weapons,
anti-tank weapons,

936
00:33:00,062 --> 00:33:01,813
mortars, recoilless rifles.

937
00:33:01,814 --> 00:33:03,314
- Well, now, Tony...
- I was there, pal!

938
00:33:03,315 --> 00:33:05,358
we had to fact-check that,
but I'll concede

939
00:33:05,359 --> 00:33:06,818
that just 'cause
we didn't find a record of it

940
00:33:06,819 --> 00:33:08,194
doesn't mean you weren't there.

941
00:33:08,195 --> 00:33:09,487
Yeah, I can
just hear the people.

942
00:33:09,488 --> 00:33:11,114
They're gonna call me a phony.

943
00:33:11,115 --> 00:33:12,490
They're gonna say
I wasn't there.

944
00:33:12,491 --> 00:33:14,325
<i>Well, I'll take you there,</i>

945
00:33:14,326 --> 00:33:16,327
<i>and I'll show you my name
carved into a fucking rock.</i>

946
00:33:16,328 --> 00:33:17,912
<i>[Fred]
Tony, no one's infallible.</i>

947
00:33:17,913 --> 00:33:19,164
<i>I will personally
look into this.</i>

948
00:33:21,291 --> 00:33:22,709
You know, the average guy

949
00:33:22,710 --> 00:33:24,085
that would've gone through
something like this

950
00:33:24,086 --> 00:33:26,963
would've had a heart attack
or-or a stroke by now?

951
00:33:26,964 --> 00:33:28,715
They're lucky
they're dealing with me,

952
00:33:28,716 --> 00:33:30,426
'cause some Nervous Norman
would've shot him already.

953
00:33:35,264 --> 00:33:37,765
Did you, uh, did you look into
my Eisner-Osco deal?

954
00:33:37,766 --> 00:33:39,434
Well, about that, Tony,

955
00:33:39,435 --> 00:33:41,436
I haven't really received
any corroboration on that,

956
00:33:41,437 --> 00:33:43,938
<i>and Eisner-Osco
has no comment at this time.</i>

957
00:33:43,939 --> 00:33:45,148
<i>Um, I'm wondering,</i>

958
00:33:45,149 --> 00:33:46,649
uh, how is Dick?
Can I talk to him?

959
00:33:46,650 --> 00:33:48,067
No, forget about Dick.

960
00:33:48,068 --> 00:33:49,569
This has nothing
to do with Dick.

961
00:33:49,570 --> 00:33:51,070
Uh, what about M.L.?

962
00:33:51,071 --> 00:33:53,197
Where's my apology?

963
00:33:53,198 --> 00:33:54,991
Well, um...

964
00:33:54,992 --> 00:33:56,534
we have spoken to them,

965
00:33:56,535 --> 00:33:57,910
and they are
aware of your request,

966
00:33:57,911 --> 00:33:59,954
<i>but I tell you what, Tony,</i>

967
00:33:59,955 --> 00:34:01,789
<i>we-we-we have to know
that Dick is okay.</i>

968
00:34:01,790 --> 00:34:03,374
<i>I mean, his wife, Ibby,
and his children,</i>

969
00:34:03,375 --> 00:34:05,001
<i>are completely upset about thi.</i>

970
00:34:05,002 --> 00:34:06,085
[Tony] Yeah, poor Ibby
and the kids, yeah.

971
00:34:06,086 --> 00:34:07,503
I feel for 'em.
<i>- Yeah. Yeah.</i>

972
00:34:07,504 --> 00:34:08,880
Well, don't you think
it might be a nice gesture,

973
00:34:08,881 --> 00:34:11,215
maybe, if you
let him speak to his wife?

974
00:34:11,216 --> 00:34:13,593
Why should I be the one doing
the nice gestures, huh, Fred?

975
00:34:13,594 --> 00:34:15,303
You know the truth, Dick.

976
00:34:15,304 --> 00:34:16,471
Why don't you tell
the listening audience

977
00:34:16,472 --> 00:34:17,930
<i>what you and your family did</i>

978
00:34:17,931 --> 00:34:19,474
<i>to an ordinary guy
like me?</i>

979
00:34:19,475 --> 00:34:21,559
Go ahead. You know, Fred,
he's right here.

980
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:23,312
We tried to work
with you, Tony.

981
00:34:25,230 --> 00:34:26,564
Uh, I'm sorry, Tony.

982
00:34:26,565 --> 00:34:27,899
I couldn't quite hear
what Dick said.

983
00:34:27,900 --> 00:34:29,233
- That's a lie.
- Can I speak to him?

984
00:34:29,234 --> 00:34:31,152
That's a fuckin' lie!

985
00:34:31,153 --> 00:34:32,779
You motherfuck!

986
00:34:32,780 --> 00:34:35,156
Are you listening
to this motherfucker?

987
00:34:35,157 --> 00:34:37,992
You and your father didn't try
to work it out with me!

988
00:34:37,993 --> 00:34:39,452
<i>- Okay, you sound really upset,</i>
- Motherfucker!

989
00:34:39,453 --> 00:34:40,661
...Tony, and I understand that.

990
00:34:40,662 --> 00:34:42,205
Now, can I just,
can I speak to Dick?

991
00:34:42,206 --> 00:34:43,164
<i>[Tony] You don't know
the Halls like I do, Fred.</i>

992
00:34:43,165 --> 00:34:44,707
They are vipers!

993
00:34:44,708 --> 00:34:47,418
I've met more selfish, deceitful
people in real estate

994
00:34:47,419 --> 00:34:49,253
than in any other business
I've been in,

995
00:34:49,254 --> 00:34:50,379
including
the used-car business!

996
00:34:50,380 --> 00:34:52,173
Listen, Tony,
don't you think that,

997
00:34:52,174 --> 00:34:55,009
with the increased visibility
of this particular situation,

998
00:34:55,010 --> 00:34:58,137
that this might reflect better
on your situation?

999
00:34:58,138 --> 00:34:59,514
Well, I've never told
a lie in my life,

1000
00:34:59,515 --> 00:35:01,599
and I haven't told a lie
since the situation started.

1001
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:04,101
I don't need to,
'cause I've got nothing to hide.

1002
00:35:04,102 --> 00:35:06,103
When we get through with this,
you're gonna think I'm a witch,

1003
00:35:06,104 --> 00:35:07,688
and I think
I've already proven that,

1004
00:35:07,689 --> 00:35:09,482
I knew what was going on,

1005
00:35:09,483 --> 00:35:11,108
and there was nothing
I could do about it!

1006
00:35:11,109 --> 00:35:12,860
There was nothing
I could do to stop it,

1007
00:35:12,861 --> 00:35:14,320
and you know, Fred,
I haven't heard you

1008
00:35:14,321 --> 00:35:16,197
say that once on the air,

1009
00:35:16,198 --> 00:35:18,783
as much as I've heard you
call me a goddamn kidnapper!

1010
00:35:18,784 --> 00:35:20,535
Well, now, Tony, we are
looking into all of your claims,

1011
00:35:20,536 --> 00:35:22,662
and we are taking them
very, very, very seriously.

1012
00:35:22,663 --> 00:35:24,288
Oh, fuck! <i>Fuck!</i>
Fred, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

1013
00:35:24,289 --> 00:35:25,749
Fuck.

1014
00:35:30,212 --> 00:35:32,130
<i>[Tony chuckles] Okay.</i>

1015
00:35:33,882 --> 00:35:35,299
[Fred] Okay.

1016
00:35:35,300 --> 00:35:37,803
Yeah.
Did M.L. issue the apology?

1017
00:35:39,429 --> 00:35:42,056
Well, we're...
we're working on that, Tony.

1018
00:35:42,057 --> 00:35:43,307
<i>Well, did you</i>

1019
00:35:43,308 --> 00:35:45,393
speak to him on the phone
or in person?

1020
00:35:45,394 --> 00:35:47,436
Well... [sighs]

1021
00:35:47,437 --> 00:35:48,563
Tony, we're working on it.

1022
00:35:48,564 --> 00:35:50,190
Well, what'd he say?

1023
00:35:56,405 --> 00:35:58,407
Well, Tony...

1024
00:35:59,825 --> 00:36:00,742
we're working on it.

1025
00:36:03,787 --> 00:36:06,081
He hasn't spoken to you,
has he?

1026
00:36:08,041 --> 00:36:10,711
You don't even know
where he is, do ya?

1027
00:36:16,508 --> 00:36:18,552
I know where he is.

1028
00:36:20,846 --> 00:36:23,015
He's in Florida.

1029
00:36:25,684 --> 00:36:28,102
His secretary told me.

1030
00:36:28,103 --> 00:36:30,688
He's stuffin' his face
with crab.

1031
00:36:30,689 --> 00:36:32,565
They go down there
every winter,

1032
00:36:32,566 --> 00:36:35,276
deep-sea fishing,
and all that crap.

1033
00:36:35,277 --> 00:36:36,944
You know, they're so rich,

1034
00:36:36,945 --> 00:36:38,696
they don't even hold
their own fishing poles.

1035
00:36:38,697 --> 00:36:40,282
The boat does the fishin'
for you.

1036
00:36:41,825 --> 00:36:43,242
You hear that, Dick?

1037
00:36:43,243 --> 00:36:45,077
Your own father

1038
00:36:45,078 --> 00:36:46,747
can't be bothered
to come to the phone...

1039
00:36:49,291 --> 00:36:50,541
...for his own son.

1040
00:36:50,542 --> 00:36:52,001
Tony, can I speak to Dick?

1041
00:36:52,002 --> 00:36:53,377
<i>[Tony] I'm gonna
walk out of here a free man.</i>

<i>Can I speak to Dick,
please, Tony?</i>

1043

They aren't going to book me,

1044

<i>they aren't gonna print me,</i>

1046

<i>they aren't gonna send me
to a fucking psychiatrist,</i>

1047
00:37:01,136 --> 00:37:02,386
'cause I don't need one,

1048
00:37:02,387 --> 00:37:04,181
I don't care who knows it
or what they say.

1049
00:37:06,642 --> 00:37:08,518
I'm a pretty smart man.

1050
00:37:12,731 --> 00:37:14,065
Don't get me wrong,

1051
00:37:14,066 --> 00:37:16,318
I feel
for Ibby and the kids, but...

1052
00:37:19,488 --> 00:37:21,530
This is my last chance.

1053
00:37:21,531 --> 00:37:22,991
That land
is all I have left, Fred.

1054

<i>I need you to get me
my apology.</i>

<i>Don't underestimate my resolve.</i>

<i>You know, I...</i>

1057

You chose me?

You were
a part of my plan all along.

1060

'Course I did.

You just have to be cheap.

1115
00:40:24,297 --> 00:40:26,257
[Dick] Hi.

1116
00:40:26,258 --> 00:40:28,425
Hi.

1117
00:40:28,426 --> 00:40:29,886
Uh...

1118
00:40:31,346 --> 00:40:33,390
Thank you.

1119
00:40:42,774 --> 00:40:45,067
I just hate blind dates,
don't you?

1120
00:40:45,068 --> 00:40:47,027
[Dick] Well, I did until today.

1121
00:40:47,028 --> 00:40:49,739
Greg, he never mentioned
you were such a knockout.

My brother Jack
does construction.

1126

My brother Bill
does the mortgage,

1127
00:41:03,712 --> 00:41:05,462
and I do the real estate
with my dad.

1128
00:41:05,463 --> 00:41:07,548
Real estate?

1129
00:41:07,549 --> 00:41:10,134
Huh.

1130
00:41:10,135 --> 00:41:12,386
[Dick] So...
you lived in Japan?

1131
00:41:12,387 --> 00:41:15,931
Tokyo,
until I went to college at I.U.

1132
00:41:15,932 --> 00:41:17,600
Kappa Kappa Gamma.

1133
00:41:17,601 --> 00:41:19,518
Did you eat that raw fish?

1134
00:41:19,519 --> 00:41:20,520
Yes, I did.

1135
00:41:22,856 --> 00:41:25,441
And what did
your dad do in Japan?

1136
00:41:25,442 --> 00:41:28,111
Oh, he works
for the State Department.

1137
00:41:30,614 --> 00:41:32,448
Have you ever been abroad?

1138
00:41:32,449 --> 00:41:33,574
Does San Diego count?

1139
00:41:33,575 --> 00:41:34,992
[he chuckles]

1140
00:41:34,993 --> 00:41:38,746
Uh... well, let's order drinks.

1141
00:41:38,747 --> 00:41:40,998
I'll flag a waitress
and then put our order in.

1142
00:41:40,999 --> 00:41:42,082
Heard the steaks
are really good.

1143
00:41:42,083 --> 00:41:43,918
[Ibby] Look.

1144
00:41:43,919 --> 00:41:48,214
Um...
you seem like a very nice guy.

1145
00:41:48,215 --> 00:41:50,342
Have you ever been
in a, in a Cessna?

1146
00:41:51,968 --> 00:41:53,302
Well, that's a line
if I've ever heard one.

1147
00:41:53,303 --> 00:41:55,554
[chuckles] I'm serious.

1148
00:41:55,555 --> 00:41:57,348
I'm about to get
my private pilot license,

1149
00:41:57,349 --> 00:41:59,558
and I would love
to take you up in one,

1150
00:41:59,559 --> 00:42:01,894
and I promise,
you'll never forget it.

1151
00:42:01,895 --> 00:42:03,395
I don't know.

1152
00:42:03,396 --> 00:42:05,606
I'm not much
for jerky movements.

1153
00:42:05,607 --> 00:42:07,399
Close your eyes.

1154
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:08,734
What?

1155
00:42:08,735 --> 00:42:10,402
Close your eyes.

1156
00:42:10,403 --> 00:42:11,904
Seriously,
I'll take you through it.

1157
00:42:11,905 --> 00:42:14,114
It'll... you'll love it.

1158
00:42:14,115 --> 00:42:17,201
Just... close them.

1159
00:42:17,202 --> 00:42:18,578
Okay.

1160
00:42:20,789 --> 00:42:22,081
All right, you ready?

1161
00:42:22,082 --> 00:42:23,165
Mm-hmm.

1162
00:42:23,166 --> 00:42:25,001
Okay, so you're, um...

1163
00:42:28,755 --> 00:42:31,382
...you're looking beautiful
in the passenger seat...

1164
00:42:31,383 --> 00:42:32,967
Thank you.

1165
00:42:32,968 --> 00:42:35,928
...and I'm looking
very handsome in the pilot seat.

1166
00:42:35,929 --> 00:42:37,805
All you can see
is the back of my head.

1167
00:42:37,806 --> 00:42:39,848
Full head of hair.

1168
00:42:39,849 --> 00:42:44,186
Ha! And, uh,
I start the engine...

1169
00:42:44,187 --> 00:42:46,814
- [drumming table]
- ...and it's loud.

1170
00:42:46,815 --> 00:42:49,400
Um, we're about to take off,
and all of a sudden,

1171
00:42:49,401 --> 00:42:52,737
the ground goes away,
and all there is...

1172
00:42:54,281 --> 00:42:56,240
...is sky.

1173
00:42:56,241 --> 00:42:59,785
You can almost...
feel the physics of the wind.

1174
00:42:59,786 --> 00:43:01,495
Physics of the wind?

1175
00:43:01,496 --> 00:43:03,539
- See...
- I like that.

1176
00:43:03,540 --> 00:43:05,874
See, flying...

1177
00:43:05,875 --> 00:43:08,794
is like riding the wind
like people ride ocean waves.

1178
00:43:08,795 --> 00:43:11,630
You can feel the Earth
and the sky.

1179
00:43:11,631 --> 00:43:15,301
It is so graceful,
moving through the air,

1180
00:43:15,302 --> 00:43:17,803
and your body knows
that it's defying physics,

1181
00:43:17,804 --> 00:43:19,096
but for a moment in time,

1182
00:43:19,097 --> 00:43:22,725
you are doing something
beyond language.

1183
00:43:22,726 --> 00:43:25,311
Something close to God himself.

1184
00:43:25,312 --> 00:43:26,813
It's...

1185
00:43:31,151 --> 00:43:32,277
...magical.

1186
00:43:40,368 --> 00:43:42,077
When do you get your license?

1187
00:43:42,078 --> 00:43:43,705
I don't know.

1188
00:43:45,665 --> 00:43:48,542
It's a question
of when the instructor

1189
00:43:48,543 --> 00:43:52,212
thinks I'm ready for
my first solo flight one day.

1190
00:43:52,213 --> 00:43:54,006
On that day,

1191
00:43:54,007 --> 00:43:56,925
he'll simply get
out of the plane and say,

1192
00:43:56,926 --> 00:43:59,470
"Okay, she's all yours."

1193
00:43:59,471 --> 00:44:03,850
And then I'll...
take my first solo flight.

1194
00:44:06,061 --> 00:44:07,895
[clears throat]

1195
00:44:07,896 --> 00:44:09,480
So, after the flight,

1196
00:44:09,481 --> 00:44:11,148
you know,
once it's successful,

1197
00:44:11,149 --> 00:44:12,941
uh, he will cut my shirttails,

1198
00:44:12,942 --> 00:44:14,443
which indicates

1199
00:44:14,444 --> 00:44:16,820
that I no longer need
to hold on to the instructor

1200
00:44:16,821 --> 00:44:18,072
for guidance anymore,

1201
00:44:18,073 --> 00:44:20,949
so I have been wearing
my favorite shirt

1202
00:44:20,950 --> 00:44:23,202
each flight now
for the past week,

1203
00:44:23,203 --> 00:44:25,245
just in case.

1204
00:44:25,246 --> 00:44:29,166
I hope I'm not too emotional
when it happens...

1205
00:44:29,167 --> 00:44:31,335
which should be any day now,

1206
00:44:31,336 --> 00:44:34,756
so I can...
take you up for real.

1207
00:44:39,135 --> 00:44:41,553
You're not at all
what Jackie said about you.

1208
00:44:41,554 --> 00:44:42,846
Uh-huh?

1209
00:44:42,847 --> 00:44:44,056
I take that's a good thing.

1210
00:44:44,057 --> 00:44:45,266
Very good.

1211
00:44:47,310 --> 00:44:49,687
I think
I'd like that drink now.

1212
00:44:51,272 --> 00:44:53,065
Um, ma'am?

1213

Uh, Heckman's a civilian.

1226

We can't have
a civilian handling things.

Hi. I've marked, uh...

10 upscale seafood restaurants
in the Fort Lauderdale area.

1233
00:46:05,180 --> 00:46:06,680
Can you see
if you can find a reservation

1234
00:46:06,681 --> 00:46:07,639
for Mr. Hall
in one of them, please?

1235
00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:09,099
Not a problem.

1236

Oh, and, uh, Ralph Bass

Nice to hear from you.

Uh, listen.

I don't know if you have
been following WIBC,

1242
00:46:23,531 --> 00:46:26,116
but this story is blooming,

1243
00:46:26,117 --> 00:46:27,868
uh, and I've also been able

1244
00:46:27,869 --> 00:46:29,369
to track down a few leads
on this mortgage.
