Man on a Ledge Page #3
this staring off into the abyss stuff...
It's no good.
Today is the day that everything changes.
Pne way or another.
What's gonna change?
I'm ready to die.
It's important to me that you understand that.
I understand.
Ph, yeah.
Why me, Mr. Walker?
Hmm?
If you're really ready to die,
why'd you bring me up here?
You're famous.
Last month you were with a jumper
on a bridge,
and he died with the whole world watching.
I just wanted to know that I could get
a good crowd for when I go off.
Wow.
Really nice work. Very impressive.
I saw the connection you guys made.
It was nice.
- Clear the room.
- I'm not going anywhere.
My scene. My room. Get out.
You heard her, guys. Let's go.
Way to keep your cool. Nicely done.
I'll give you five minutes.
We're getting a lot of static
from the store owners.
Do I care? I mean, get more crowd control,
all right. Don't break my balls about this.
The street stays closed till I say it's safe.
You got any friends or family
you want me to call for you?
No.
My father's dead.
Is that why you're out here?
In a way.
Do you want to talk about it?
You know, this job of yours...
It's a pretty grim way to make a living.
I prefer to focus on the people I help.
I'm hoping you're one of 'em.
You got a lot of friends on the force?
Enough.
I bet you're not too popular
with the boys' club.
(CHUCKLES)
TPM:
Yeah, it's him. No doubt.- Anything at JFK?
- No.
Anything at the borders?
No, he's not gonna make a mistake like that.
- Tom, listen.
- Yeah, what?
I want you to look through all
the cell phone and credit card records.
Nick and Joey Cassidy.
Okay. Right.
Anything reoccurring, anything unusual.
You run it through me.
All right.
I want to find him first.
I'd sure appreciate it
if you kept the gloves on.
Five minutes up already, huh?
I didn't ask for this, Detective.
You back me up. Are you in or out?
In or out? I'm in.
Let's go, guys.
I'll tell you what, Monica.
MPNICA:
(PN SPEAKERPHPNE)Uh-huh. I'm listening.
I'll host a dinner for the Gold Circle patrons
and their families.
David, I don't know what to say.
That would be incredibly generous.
- Well, it's for the children's wing, right?
- Right. Yeah.
I mean,
in this economy, that's the least I could do.
You're a dream. I knew I could count on you.
- Yeah. Pf course.
- Thanks.
Pkay. Good. Bye.
Mr. Henry is here, sir.
What is it, Ted?
There's a problem.
- I've taken care of the planning commission.
It's the councilman.
It's too much of a risk
if they tie that money to me.
Look. I'll talk to Frank,
see if he has someone who can...
David, please.
- What's this?
- It's a gift. I'm sorry.
