1
00:05:20,904 --> 00:05:23,864
- So, how was it?
- Good.
2
00:05:23,991 --> 00:05:26,200
- You're gonna go ahead, huh?
- Full steam.
3
00:05:27,411 --> 00:05:29,787
Anything I can do to change your mind?
4
00:05:29,871 --> 00:05:31,872
Nope. No way.
5
00:05:33,083 --> 00:05:35,584
You know, there's an old saying that, uh,
6
00:05:37,004 --> 00:05:40,006
no matter how hot it gets
up there during the day,
7
00:05:40,132 --> 00:05:42,466
- there's not...
- Not a damn thing to do at night.
8
00:05:42,551 --> 00:05:47,805
That's right. Now just what the hell are you
gonna do at night in the middle of nowhere?
9
00:05:47,889 --> 00:05:50,141
Sleep like a winner.
10
00:05:52,436 --> 00:05:56,480
Doug, you're a city boy
with a low threshold of boredom.
11
00:05:56,606 --> 00:05:59,275
You'll be back in two weeks.
12
00:06:04,197 --> 00:06:06,240
Can you come in the office for a minute?
13
00:06:06,324 --> 00:06:08,868
I got people waiting upstairs.
14
00:06:11,955 --> 00:06:14,290
Well, what I wanted
to tell you is that, uh,
15
00:06:14,374 --> 00:06:17,585
Senator Parker's flying in
for the dedication tonight,
16
00:06:17,669 --> 00:06:20,796
and he's almost guaranteed
the urban renewal contract.
17
00:06:20,881 --> 00:06:23,090
Now, do you know what that means?
18
00:06:23,216 --> 00:06:26,343
Skyscrapers like this all over the country.
19
00:06:26,428 --> 00:06:28,846
You design 'em, I'll build 'em.
20
00:06:28,930 --> 00:06:32,183
Jim, I think you suffer
from an "edifice" complex.
21
00:06:32,267 --> 00:06:34,185
You'll never leave.
22
00:06:34,269 --> 00:06:37,897
Right after the party, come on downstairs
and watch me burn my black tie.
23
00:06:51,703 --> 00:06:52,870
Glad to see you back.
Sam.
24
00:06:52,996 --> 00:06:54,914
It's Doug.
How are ya?
25
00:06:54,998 --> 00:06:57,666
Doug, I can't understand it.
The dampers won't stay open.
26
00:06:57,751 --> 00:06:59,710
Dampers? Whatever happened to hello?
27
00:06:59,836 --> 00:07:01,462
- Hello.
- How are ya?
28
00:07:01,588 --> 00:07:03,881
- Good.
- You look like it took.
- Yeah.
29
00:07:04,007 --> 00:07:05,883
- Hi, Mr. Roberts.
- Hey, Doug!
30
00:07:06,009 --> 00:07:07,927
- Just a second.
- We're gonna miss you.
31
00:07:08,053 --> 00:07:10,012
- Duncan know?
- He's all smiles.
32
00:07:10,138 --> 00:07:12,264
- Mm-hmm.
- Hey. What electromagnets went in?
33
00:07:12,349 --> 00:07:14,600
- Doug?
- Thompson G-4's.
34
00:07:14,684 --> 00:07:17,937
- Shouldn't they have been, like, G-12s?
- Oh, no.
35
00:07:18,021 --> 00:07:21,232
That's what comes from this damn
last-minute panic. I'll fix it, Doug.
36
00:07:21,358 --> 00:07:23,984
- Okay. What?
We keep running into groundwater on that Atlanta job.
37
00:07:24,069 --> 00:07:25,945
Bring the designs in sometime this afternoon.
38
00:07:26,071 --> 00:07:28,322
- Good to see you back, but how about Chicago specs?
- Philadelphia.
39
00:07:28,406 --> 00:07:30,366
In a minute, guys.
40
00:07:32,119 --> 00:07:34,870
- Well, hello.
- Welcome back.
41
00:07:35,872 --> 00:07:37,790
Are you taking any calls?
42
00:07:37,874 --> 00:07:39,792
Well, is there-
43
00:07:39,876 --> 00:07:41,710
Mm-hmm.
44
00:07:41,795 --> 00:07:45,256
No, I'm not taking any calls.
45
00:08:16,246 --> 00:08:18,372
We gonna talk at all?
46
00:08:18,456 --> 00:08:20,833
No. It's my lunch hour.
47
00:08:20,917 --> 00:08:22,877
Mmm.
48
00:08:23,003 --> 00:08:25,754
Well, I'm not a cheeseburger, you know.
49
00:08:25,839 --> 00:08:28,591
You're better. All protein.
50
00:08:28,675 --> 00:08:32,469
No bread. All I need to go with you
is about eight glasses of water.
51
00:08:32,596 --> 00:08:36,265
All I need to go with you is in that suitcase
over there. What's in that suitcase?
52
00:08:36,349 --> 00:08:39,768
I got about 140 dollars' worth
of vulgar underwear for ya.
53
00:08:41,396 --> 00:08:43,397
First things first.
54
00:08:52,073 --> 00:08:54,074
It's nice.
55
00:08:56,286 --> 00:08:59,830
Years from now, when they talk
about this- and they will-
56
00:08:59,956 --> 00:09:03,834
remember to tell them that
it was my idea. Right.
57
00:09:16,181 --> 00:09:18,098
Got change for a 50?
58
00:09:18,183 --> 00:09:22,144
- I'm sorry. That's the smallest I have.
- Oh, not a chance.
59
00:09:22,229 --> 00:09:24,271
Let's see what we got here.
60
00:09:25,815 --> 00:09:28,108
Oh. Uh,
61
00:09:28,193 --> 00:09:33,155
25, 50, 60...
62
00:09:34,491 --> 00:09:36,784
70,
63
00:09:36,868 --> 00:09:39,036
75,
64
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,580
85, 95.
65
00:09:41,665 --> 00:09:45,209
That's it exactly.
Catch your tip next time.
66
00:10:45,353 --> 00:10:48,647
Hello, Mrs. Allbright.
Hi, Phillip.
67
00:10:48,732 --> 00:10:52,109
We won't be so messy tomorrow.
Tomorrow we're gonna try charcoals.
68
00:10:55,488 --> 00:10:58,282
Mommy wants to know if
you'll have dinner with us tonight.
69
00:10:58,366 --> 00:11:01,660
Oh, thank you, but I'm going
up to the party in the tower.
70
00:11:01,745 --> 00:11:03,746
Aren't you coming?
71
00:11:09,919 --> 00:11:13,297
Mommy says thanks, but she doesn't
go to parties since Daddy died.
72
00:11:15,592 --> 00:11:17,760
Oh, here. Let me take that paint off.
73
00:11:19,471 --> 00:11:21,388
Bye. How are you, Phillip?
74
00:11:21,473 --> 00:11:23,682
Sorry, Mrs. Mueller. What was that?
75
00:11:23,808 --> 00:11:26,352
- I said, "How are you?"
- Okay.
76
00:11:26,436 --> 00:11:28,729
Good-bye.
77
00:11:28,813 --> 00:11:31,440
Okay. I'll get on it right now.
78
00:11:35,195 --> 00:11:38,864
I'll have to check the panel.
Just leave all those fired up.
79
00:11:38,948 --> 00:11:40,491
- Mr. Callahan.
- Yeah.
80
00:11:40,617 --> 00:11:43,827
- We still got any of those G-12 electrodes in stock?
- Yeah. Main storeroom.
81
00:11:43,912 --> 00:11:48,123
- Right.
- Okay. Booster pump, Zone 1.
82
00:11:48,208 --> 00:11:52,795
- 110.
- Check. Main generator, Zone 1.
83
00:11:52,921 --> 00:11:56,799
- I don't get any reading.
- Try the auxiliary generator.
84
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,638
What the hell?
85
00:12:04,307 --> 00:12:06,308
Go ahead.
86
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,405
Ah. Here we are.
87
00:12:19,489 --> 00:12:22,282
Are there offices on this floor
as well as apartments?
88
00:12:22,409 --> 00:12:24,535
- Oh, I wouldn't like that at all.
- Oh, no, no.
89
00:12:24,619 --> 00:12:26,745
The business offices only go as high as 80.
90
00:12:26,830 --> 00:12:31,917
From the 81st floor here, all the way up
to 120, it's exclusively residential.
91
00:12:32,001 --> 00:12:35,212
Now, the apartment I want to
show you is 8145.
92
00:13:03,533 --> 00:13:06,910
Say, Bill. Tune in the main utility room.
93
00:13:06,995 --> 00:13:08,996
Okay.
94
00:13:30,393 --> 00:13:34,229
Something's screwed up. The sensor
didn't trip the fire department alarm.
95
00:13:34,314 --> 00:13:36,231
Why should it?
96
00:13:36,316 --> 00:13:39,610
You can see for yourself. There's no fire.
97
00:13:39,694 --> 00:13:42,196
Well, the sensor indicates there is.
98
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:46,700
Plus Wes just called. He said they're
having wiring problems down there.
99
00:13:46,784 --> 00:13:48,744
You better stay with it.
100
00:13:51,789 --> 00:13:55,167
I want you up there with me.
We can do good things together.
101
00:13:57,378 --> 00:13:59,880
What's the matter?
102
00:14:04,093 --> 00:14:05,969
Hello.
103
00:14:08,431 --> 00:14:11,808
Dave's leaving. They've
offered me managing editor.
104
00:14:13,603 --> 00:14:15,604
That's nice.
105
00:14:17,649 --> 00:14:19,566
I mean...
106
00:14:19,651 --> 00:14:21,777
I guess we got ourselves a situation.
107
00:14:24,113 --> 00:14:26,740
Seems.
108
00:14:26,824 --> 00:14:30,494
See, Doug, I want the kind of life
you're talking about. I want that.
109
00:14:30,578 --> 00:14:35,040
And I want a place where our kids can
run around and grow and be free.
110
00:14:35,124 --> 00:14:37,292
But?
111
00:14:39,379 --> 00:14:41,296
I want this job.
112
00:14:41,381 --> 00:14:44,299
I've wanted it for five years.
I've worked for it for five years.
113
00:14:44,384 --> 00:14:46,969
Now suddenly it's there.
114
00:14:48,513 --> 00:14:52,140
See, I have...
I have ideas, Doug.
115
00:14:52,225 --> 00:14:55,561
I can do something with it. Something
that hasn't been done before.
116
00:15:00,149 --> 00:15:03,819
I guess I want both, and I
can't have both, can I?
117
00:15:05,738 --> 00:15:07,656
I don't know.
118
00:15:13,997 --> 00:15:15,914
Yeah.
119
00:15:15,999 --> 00:15:18,458
Where?
120
00:15:18,543 --> 00:15:21,253
Be right there.
121
00:15:21,337 --> 00:15:23,797
Let's hold this off till tonight, hmm?
122
00:15:29,596 --> 00:15:33,015
- What happened?
- We kicked on the auxiliary, and this shorted out.
123
00:15:34,976 --> 00:15:36,977
- Power off?
- Yeah.
124
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,654
- What about that?
- It should've been conduit.
125
00:15:47,739 --> 00:15:49,740
Give me a pair of dikes.
126
00:16:11,137 --> 00:16:14,306
I know, I know. Callahan called me.
127
00:16:14,390 --> 00:16:16,308
Now, just how bad is it?
128
00:16:16,392 --> 00:16:19,311
Depends on how good your imagination is.
129
00:16:19,395 --> 00:16:23,523
Jesus Christ. The specs called
for conduit safety covering.
130
00:16:26,569 --> 00:16:28,528
How many fuse terminals did you check?
131
00:16:28,613 --> 00:16:30,656
How many do I have to?
132
00:16:33,076 --> 00:16:35,619
- Yeah?
- Mr. Bigelow is here, sir.
133
00:16:35,703 --> 00:16:39,164
Okay. Send him in. Now, Doug,
134
00:16:39,248 --> 00:16:44,294
one piece of scorched wire from a burned-out
circuit breaker is hardly conclusive.
135
00:16:44,379 --> 00:16:48,256
Well, maybe not, but after that, I'm worried
about what other shocks we're in for.
136
00:16:49,258 --> 00:16:52,844
Will. Doug.
137
00:16:52,929 --> 00:16:56,056
J.D., wait till you see this.
138
00:17:02,271 --> 00:17:05,107
What happened? Somebody hang the wallpaper upside down?
139
00:17:05,191 --> 00:17:07,609
We have an equipment problem.
140
00:17:09,862 --> 00:17:12,948
- No problem in the tower, is there?
- Could be.
141
00:17:13,074 --> 00:17:15,867
- Come on, Doug. You're just guessing.
- All right. I'm just guessing.
142
00:17:15,952 --> 00:17:19,788
But I want to talk to that son-in-law of yours.
I want to talk to him right away.
143
00:17:19,872 --> 00:17:21,790
Okay.
144
00:17:21,874 --> 00:17:23,792
- Get me Roger Simmons.
- Yes, sir.
145
00:17:23,876 --> 00:17:26,378
I'm gonna check this thing out, Mr.
Duncan. I guarantee you.
146
00:17:26,462 --> 00:17:28,839
Sure, sure. We're all going to check it out.
147
00:17:29,882 --> 00:17:31,800
I'm missing something.
148
00:17:32,885 --> 00:17:34,803
We damn near had a fire.
149
00:17:37,432 --> 00:17:39,933
Yeah. A fire.
150
00:17:42,729 --> 00:17:45,522
In this building? Come on.
151
00:17:45,606 --> 00:17:48,483
Do you know we haven't even finished
installing the safety equipment?
152
00:17:48,609 --> 00:17:52,404
The party should have been put off for at least
another month. Now, hold it, Will. Hold it!
153
00:17:52,488 --> 00:17:54,489
Everybody's overreacting.
154
00:17:54,574 --> 00:17:56,825
- Yes.
- Mr. Simmons is out, sir.
155
00:17:56,909 --> 00:17:58,910
- Out where?
- They don't know, sir,
156
00:17:58,995 --> 00:18:01,329
but I left word for him to call.
157
00:18:01,414 --> 00:18:03,665
Okay.
158
00:18:05,001 --> 00:18:07,127
We'll talk to Roger tomorrow,
159
00:18:07,211 --> 00:18:09,087
and then we'll decide what to do.
160
00:18:09,213 --> 00:18:11,673
- That's okay, isn't it?
- Nope. Won't wait.
161
00:18:26,397 --> 00:18:28,398
Try Zone 1 again.
162
00:18:29,650 --> 00:18:31,735
Damn it, Harry, this is top priority.
163
00:18:31,819 --> 00:18:34,404
We've got to get these electrical
systems back on the beam.
164
00:18:34,489 --> 00:18:37,240
Our whole security program's
loused up without 'em.
165
00:18:59,096 --> 00:19:01,097
Don't go away.
166
00:19:18,866 --> 00:19:21,243
Doug. Well, what a surprise.
167
00:19:23,621 --> 00:19:26,873
Where's that electrical genius of yours?
168
00:19:26,958 --> 00:19:30,585
I mean, I called his office, the club,
the marina- everywhere. No luck.
169
00:19:30,670 --> 00:19:32,671
What's he done?
170
00:19:35,258 --> 00:19:37,259
Come on. I'll get you a drink.
171
00:19:39,595 --> 00:19:42,389
He must have done something,
'cause my father called.
172
00:19:42,473 --> 00:19:44,641
I haven't heard him that upset in years.
173
00:19:44,725 --> 00:19:46,768
You have any idea where he is?
174
00:19:49,021 --> 00:19:51,690
Well, my husband's territory
ranges rather widely.
175
00:19:51,774 --> 00:19:54,025
It's roughly equivalent to
that of the timber wolf-
176
00:19:54,110 --> 00:19:57,237
anywhere within a 50-mile radius.
177
00:19:57,321 --> 00:19:59,614
But if you want to wait, he'll show up.
178
00:19:59,699 --> 00:20:01,741
He has to. His clothes are here.
179
00:20:03,828 --> 00:20:06,371
- Can I get you a drink?
- No. No, thanks.
180
00:20:08,457 --> 00:20:11,877
I guess you don't plan
to tell me what Roger's done.
181
00:20:18,509 --> 00:20:20,468
Hi, Doug.
182
00:20:20,553 --> 00:20:22,470
- Honey.
- Hello.
183
00:20:22,555 --> 00:20:24,598
What are you drinking these days?
184
00:20:24,682 --> 00:20:27,058
Nothing right now.
185
00:20:27,143 --> 00:20:30,145
Well, welcome back from the wilderness.
186
00:20:30,229 --> 00:20:33,023
To what do we owe the pleasure?
187
00:20:33,107 --> 00:20:35,066
Callahan was testing a backup generator.
188
00:20:35,151 --> 00:20:37,444
There was a power surge and a systems failure.
189
00:20:38,863 --> 00:20:42,032
- How can that be?
- Well, it can't be, theoretically.
190
00:20:43,743 --> 00:20:47,495
Unless you've been screwing around
with the electrical specifications.
191
00:20:48,831 --> 00:20:51,041
That's being rather blunt, isn't it?
192
00:20:51,125 --> 00:20:52,792
You betcha.
193
00:20:52,877 --> 00:20:55,921
Then you'll understand my being equally blunt.
194
00:20:56,005 --> 00:20:58,173
What the hell business is it of yours anyway?
195
00:20:58,257 --> 00:21:01,343
Well, I'm just wondering what
kind of kickbacks were involved.
196
00:21:02,887 --> 00:21:05,305
I don't have to take crap from you.
197
00:21:08,100 --> 00:21:11,394
Now, listen. We had an electrical
flare-up in the main utility room.
198
00:21:11,479 --> 00:21:14,814
It looked to me like some of that
wiring wasn't exactly what I asked for.
199
00:21:14,899 --> 00:21:19,152
Every piece of wire I put in that building is
strictly up to code-inspected and approved.
200
00:21:19,236 --> 00:21:21,696
The code's not enough for that building.
201
00:21:21,781 --> 00:21:25,784
And you know it. That's why I asked for
installations that were way, way above standard.
202
00:21:25,868 --> 00:21:29,871
Buddy, you live in a dreamworld.
I deal in realities.
203
00:21:32,375 --> 00:21:35,251
I want your wiring diagrams
and copies of your work orders.
204
00:21:35,336 --> 00:21:37,253
It'd take weeks to get all that together-
205
00:21:37,338 --> 00:21:39,458
and someone with more clout
than you to make me do it.
206
00:21:39,507 --> 00:21:41,841
In my office, tomorrow, 9:00.
207
00:21:44,929 --> 00:21:48,723
They say he used to wrestle
grizzly bears in Montana.
208
00:21:48,849 --> 00:21:52,727
Of course, he was younger then.
Probably in better condition.
209
00:21:56,065 --> 00:21:58,900
You must have enjoyed all this immensely.
210
00:21:58,985 --> 00:22:01,528
No, I didn't.
211
00:22:01,612 --> 00:22:04,489
Actually, I'm depressed for both of us.
212
00:22:04,573 --> 00:22:07,617
What did you expect me to do?
Punch him in the nose?
213
00:22:09,453 --> 00:22:13,039
Roger, if you've done anything
to Dad's building, God help you.
214
00:22:13,124 --> 00:22:16,710
Baby, I don't need God's help.
Or your old man's. Not anymore.
215
00:22:18,004 --> 00:22:21,506
So don't expect me to shake
every time daddy barks.
216
00:22:21,590 --> 00:22:24,718
I mean, if that's what you want me to do.
217
00:22:25,845 --> 00:22:29,139
All I want is the man
I thought I married.
218
00:22:32,518 --> 00:22:37,105
But I guess we're running out of
reasons to stay married, aren't we?
219
00:22:39,984 --> 00:22:42,444
It's getting late.
220
00:22:42,528 --> 00:22:44,654
Mustn't miss the party.
221
00:24:23,587 --> 00:24:26,339
Stand back, please. All right.
Give me a wide camera angle.
222
00:24:26,423 --> 00:24:31,636
Everybody, back of the rope. Stand back.
Please. Everybody, back of the rope.
223
00:24:43,357 --> 00:24:45,358
Hi.
224
00:24:46,902 --> 00:24:50,113
7:30 sharp. I hope you like your men prompt.
225
00:24:50,197 --> 00:24:54,325
At my age... I only care that they show up at all.
226
00:24:54,410 --> 00:24:56,244
Oh, nonsense.
227
00:24:57,621 --> 00:25:00,206
Now, you be a good girl, Elke.
228
00:25:00,291 --> 00:25:03,960
I left you some milk in the kitchen.
See you later.
229
00:25:08,174 --> 00:25:10,091
Did you find Simmons?
230
00:25:10,176 --> 00:25:12,093
Yeah, I found him.
231
00:25:12,178 --> 00:25:14,554
Well, did he or didn't he
change your specs?
232
00:25:14,638 --> 00:25:17,849
He didn't admit it, but two
bucks will get ya 10 he did.
233
00:25:17,933 --> 00:25:20,602
Payoffs and kickbacks. That's the
only way he could've swung it.
234
00:25:23,022 --> 00:25:25,690
Well, here you are.
235
00:25:25,774 --> 00:25:28,193
Your original specs.
236
00:25:28,277 --> 00:25:30,695
Zone 1 only, but we gotta start somewhere.
237
00:25:33,949 --> 00:25:36,743
The son of a bitch
gave us an impossible job.
238
00:25:43,626 --> 00:25:45,501
- Susan.
- Hello, Danny.
239
00:25:45,628 --> 00:25:47,128
- Good evening.
- Good show.
240
00:25:47,254 --> 00:25:50,465
- How are you, dear?
- Jim. Congratulations. It's magnificent.
241
00:25:50,549 --> 00:25:54,177
Thank you. Uh, I'll meet you out front.
242
00:25:54,303 --> 00:25:57,055
- I'd like to talk to Susan for a minute.
- Right.
243
00:26:00,643 --> 00:26:03,394
Find me the architect who designed you,
244
00:26:03,479 --> 00:26:05,647
and who needs Doug Roberts?
245
00:26:05,731 --> 00:26:07,732
I do.
246
00:26:07,816 --> 00:26:11,069
Ladies and gentlemen, this is a gala evening.
247
00:26:11,153 --> 00:26:13,780
The entire city is in a holiday mood.
248
00:26:13,864 --> 00:26:17,033
The list of luminaries tonight
reads like a who's who.
249
00:26:17,117 --> 00:26:19,744
There are leaders from society and government.
250
00:26:19,828 --> 00:26:22,580
Stars of screen and television.
251
00:26:22,665 --> 00:26:24,624
And now, just arriving,
252
00:26:24,708 --> 00:26:26,626
the honorable Gary Parker,
253
00:26:26,710 --> 00:26:30,255
chairman of the Federal
Urban Renewal Commission.
254
00:26:30,339 --> 00:26:33,841
The senator flew in from Washington
tonight to be here for the dedication.
255
00:26:33,926 --> 00:26:35,885
Senator Parker, ladies and gentlemen.
256
00:26:35,970 --> 00:26:39,973
We'll try to get him over to the
microphone to say a few words for you.
257
00:26:40,057 --> 00:26:42,058
Thank you.
258
00:26:43,852 --> 00:26:47,105
Thank you.
Thank you.
259
00:26:47,189 --> 00:26:49,691
Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you very much.
260
00:26:50,818 --> 00:26:53,611
I am honored to be here tonight.
261
00:26:53,696 --> 00:26:57,699
This magnificent building
represents yet another landmark...
262
00:26:57,783 --> 00:27:00,702
in a long succession of
landmarks for this great city.
263
00:27:00,828 --> 00:27:04,122
- I think you've got him in the bag, Jim.
...I am deeply appreciative...
264
00:27:04,206 --> 00:27:06,499
...of being here at this historic moment.
265
00:27:06,583 --> 00:27:08,501
Thank you.
266
00:27:12,631 --> 00:27:15,508
Thank you.
And now, ladies and gentlemen,
267
00:27:15,592 --> 00:27:18,052
it's Mr. and Mrs. Roger Simmons.
268
00:27:18,137 --> 00:27:21,055
Mrs. Simmons is the daughter
of the builder, Jim Duncan.
269
00:27:28,355 --> 00:27:30,315
How are you?
270
00:27:30,399 --> 00:27:32,442
Nice to see you, Senator.
271
00:27:32,568 --> 00:27:35,445
- Shake hands with Mr. Duncan, please.
- Ah, yes.
272
00:27:35,529 --> 00:27:37,780
Where were you all day?
273
00:27:37,865 --> 00:27:41,326
I wasn't aware the leash was that tight.
274
00:27:41,410 --> 00:27:44,579
When I get the time, I want
to ask you a few questions,
275
00:27:44,663 --> 00:27:47,707
and I expect some straight answers.
276
00:27:47,791 --> 00:27:52,795
And now, ladies and gentlemen,
Mayor and Mrs. Robert Ramsay.
277
00:28:18,614 --> 00:28:20,615
I thank you very much.
278
00:28:24,745 --> 00:28:29,290
I hereby dedicate this
magnificent glass tower...
279
00:28:29,375 --> 00:28:32,001
tallest building in the world.
280
00:28:36,215 --> 00:28:38,633
Oh!
281
00:28:38,717 --> 00:28:42,136
We'll make it.
That's it.
282
00:28:47,184 --> 00:28:49,143
All right, Callahan?
283
00:28:50,145 --> 00:28:52,063
Hit them.
284
00:28:56,318 --> 00:28:58,319
Oh!
285
00:29:21,176 --> 00:29:23,511
This way.
286
00:29:23,637 --> 00:29:26,305
It's really something, isn't it?
And you know, it's all...
287
00:29:29,810 --> 00:29:31,811
After you.
288
00:29:34,356 --> 00:29:37,108
This is really going to thrill you.
289
00:29:38,444 --> 00:29:40,736
Come on, Dan.
I'm going by the office.
290
00:29:40,821 --> 00:29:42,780
I'll be up in a few minutes.
291
00:29:56,753 --> 00:29:58,796
Oh, that's incredible.
292
00:29:58,881 --> 00:30:02,008
I've never seen the bridge looking like that.
293
00:30:02,134 --> 00:30:04,177
- Oh, it's absolutely unbelievable.
- It's astonishing!
294
00:30:19,485 --> 00:30:21,944
- How did it go down there, Mr. Bigelow?
- Fine. Thank you.
295
00:30:22,070 --> 00:30:23,946
- Good night.
- Good night.
296
00:30:24,072 --> 00:30:27,074
- Shall I leave you a night line, Mr. Bigelow?
- Uh, you can disconnect.
297
00:30:27,201 --> 00:30:30,328
I've had it with phones for today.
Good night. Good night.
298
00:30:31,830 --> 00:30:33,748
- Lorrie.
- Yes.
299
00:30:33,832 --> 00:30:37,001
Sorry to break into your evening, but I
have one letter that's got to go out.
300
00:30:37,085 --> 00:30:39,003
- See you Monday, Janet.
- Good night, sir.
301
00:30:39,087 --> 00:30:42,256
Good night.
302
00:30:42,341 --> 00:30:45,635
Gee, I never thought he'd come
back here before the party.
303
00:30:45,719 --> 00:30:47,970
You could have left 10 minutes ago
and missed him.
304
00:30:48,096 --> 00:30:50,681
It's all right. I'm not going
to do anything tonight.
305
00:30:52,184 --> 00:30:54,477
- Hey. Have a nice weekend.
- Thanks. You too.
306
00:31:21,380 --> 00:31:23,714
Hello.
307
00:31:23,799 --> 00:31:26,217
Hi.
308
00:31:26,343 --> 00:31:29,011
- Promise me something?
- What?
309
00:31:29,096 --> 00:31:33,641
If I ever start taking you for
granted, do something about it.
310
00:31:33,725 --> 00:31:35,977
And what do you suggest?
311
00:31:36,979 --> 00:31:39,480
- Cut off the phone lines.
- Mm-hmm.
312
00:31:39,606 --> 00:31:41,899
Pour coffee down my neck.
313
00:31:42,943 --> 00:31:45,486
- Tweak my nose?
- Mmm.
314
00:31:46,488 --> 00:31:48,489
I promise.
315
00:31:52,828 --> 00:31:58,124
' We may never love like this again '
316
00:31:58,208 --> 00:32:01,168
' Don't stop the flow '
317
00:32:01,253 --> 00:32:06,424
' We can't let go '
318
00:32:06,508 --> 00:32:10,636
' We may never love like this again '
319
00:32:10,721 --> 00:32:13,764
' And touch the sky '
320
00:32:13,849 --> 00:32:18,436
' Though we may try '
321
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:22,607
' So while we're here
let's give our all '
322
00:32:22,691 --> 00:32:26,027
' Release the dreams inside us '
323
00:32:26,111 --> 00:32:30,948
' And set them free '
324
00:32:31,033 --> 00:32:34,869
' Oh, while we're here
let's leave a mark '
325
00:32:34,953 --> 00:32:38,539
' There's a candle in the dark '
326
00:32:38,624 --> 00:32:43,878
' It's here to guide us '
327
00:32:43,962 --> 00:32:48,341
' We may never love like this again '
328
00:32:48,425 --> 00:32:51,594
' But through the days '
329
00:32:51,678 --> 00:32:54,639
' Beyond the haze '
330
00:32:54,765 --> 00:32:57,308
' I see you reaching out '
- Hi there.
331
00:32:57,392 --> 00:33:00,311
- Marge, how's the family?
- They're just fine. Thank you for asking.
332
00:33:00,437 --> 00:33:03,105
- Good. Gary.
- Yeah.
333
00:33:03,190 --> 00:33:05,149
- Would you excuse us, gentlemen?
- Certainly.
334
00:33:05,233 --> 00:33:07,151
I've got a surprise for you.
335
00:33:07,235 --> 00:33:10,613
- Politicians don't like surprises.
- We'll love again
336
00:33:10,739 --> 00:33:12,782
- Carlos.
- Yes, sir.
337
00:33:12,908 --> 00:33:15,951
- What can I fix you, Mr. Duncan?
- I want you to meet Senator Parker.
338
00:33:16,078 --> 00:33:18,496
- Carlos, a great pleasure.
- Oh, it's a great honor, Senator.
339
00:33:18,580 --> 00:33:21,332
Now, show him what you've
been hiding back there.
340
00:33:21,416 --> 00:33:23,417
Yes, sir.
341
00:33:25,962 --> 00:33:27,963
Oh.
342
00:33:28,048 --> 00:33:30,216
Twenty-nine?
343
00:33:30,300 --> 00:33:32,635
- That's all you're gonna drink tonight.
- A whole case?
344
00:33:32,719 --> 00:33:35,930
Well, what you don't drink, we'll
ship the rest back to Washington.
345
00:33:36,056 --> 00:33:38,599
- Open a bottle, will you?
- Yes, sir.
346
00:33:40,435 --> 00:33:43,771
Uh, how did you ever come by a whole case?
347
00:33:44,773 --> 00:33:48,567
- Come on, Jim.
- Oh, it's nothing.
348
00:33:55,075 --> 00:33:57,201
Let me guess. You're looking for someone.
349
00:33:57,285 --> 00:33:59,203
I'm looking for someone. Have you seen him?
350
00:33:59,329 --> 00:34:02,665
I've ordered for Patty and me. What can I get you?
- Nothing right now.
351
00:34:02,791 --> 00:34:04,750
- Thank you, Roger.
- Susan.
352
00:34:04,835 --> 00:34:06,877
Tell me. Uh,
353
00:34:06,962 --> 00:34:09,255
what does a girl do in San
Francisco when her, uh,
354
00:34:09,339 --> 00:34:12,216
old man decides to leave for two years?
355
00:34:14,970 --> 00:34:18,723
- Beats me, buddy.
- No... head-hunting?
356
00:34:18,807 --> 00:34:21,434
Well, I've had a little
trouble making that work.
357
00:34:21,518 --> 00:34:24,228
Could we discuss that tomorrow at... at lunch?
358
00:34:24,312 --> 00:34:26,313
No.
359
00:34:34,489 --> 00:34:36,782
You must miss your villa.
360
00:34:36,867 --> 00:34:41,036
Well, yes and no. It, uh- It gets
rather dull in the south of France.
361
00:34:41,121 --> 00:34:43,247
It really does. I mean, nothing but swimming...
362
00:34:43,331 --> 00:34:46,751
and yachting, partying and all that sort of thing.
363
00:34:46,835 --> 00:34:51,547
And believe it or not, they, uh... they
fight over the few eligible bachelors.
364
00:34:51,631 --> 00:34:54,049
Even such old scraps as I.
365
00:34:54,176 --> 00:34:56,844
- No false humility, please.
- Oh. Shall we?
366
00:34:57,846 --> 00:35:00,347
I, uh-
367
00:35:00,432 --> 00:35:03,934
I- I decided to come back to
the reality of San Francisco,
368
00:35:04,019 --> 00:35:07,313
uh, to regain my perspective
and my humility...
369
00:35:07,397 --> 00:35:11,358
a-and spend more time at the one thing
in this world that I'm really good at:
370
00:35:11,443 --> 00:35:13,527
the stock market.
371
00:35:13,612 --> 00:35:16,906
Monte Carlo's losses, San Francisco's gains.
372
00:35:17,908 --> 00:35:19,909
Thank you.
373
00:35:19,993 --> 00:35:23,037
Do you, uh... Do you believe in destiny?
374
00:35:25,373 --> 00:35:27,333
I believe in all good things.
375
00:35:30,712 --> 00:35:33,798
There must be a reason
for my coming back home.
376
00:35:35,050 --> 00:35:37,384
Meeting you.
377
00:35:56,530 --> 00:35:59,365
- This can't be right.
- Hmm?
378
00:36:03,870 --> 00:36:06,205
It's too hot.
379
00:36:06,289 --> 00:36:08,415
We'd better leave it off.
380
00:36:17,300 --> 00:36:20,261
Utility. Wes.
381
00:36:20,345 --> 00:36:23,597
Doug. I'm up on 83 with Will. Listen.
We got a little wiring problem.
382
00:36:23,682 --> 00:36:25,891
If we get an overload, it could be trouble.
383
00:36:25,976 --> 00:36:28,811
Shut down as many Zone
1 systems as you can.
384
00:36:28,895 --> 00:36:30,813
Afraid I can't do that, Mr. Roberts.
385
00:36:30,897 --> 00:36:33,023
We've got all the lights on
for the dedication ceremony.
386
00:36:33,108 --> 00:36:36,610
All? You mean
the whole building?
387
00:36:36,695 --> 00:36:39,446
Well, we're taking the overload just fine.
388
00:36:40,532 --> 00:36:42,491
Well, shut it down right away.
389
00:36:42,576 --> 00:36:46,036
But I can't do that without a direct
okay from Mr. Duncan himself.
390
00:36:46,121 --> 00:36:49,498
I'll accept the responsibility for that.
Just turn off the goddamn lights.
391
00:36:49,583 --> 00:36:52,251
What about the lights
in the tower for the party?
392
00:36:52,335 --> 00:36:56,130
- I didn't say kill all the power. Just the overload.
- Yes, sir, Mr. Roberts.
393
00:36:57,465 --> 00:37:00,342
We better get down to 81
and check the relay systems.
394
00:37:00,468 --> 00:37:03,596
Okay. They turned on everything
in the whole building.
395
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:06,140
There's something on 81.
396
00:37:18,987 --> 00:37:24,325
Bill, phone it in just in case our automatic
lines to the fire department are out.
397
00:37:24,409 --> 00:37:26,327
- I'll be in 81.
- Got it.
398
00:38:36,982 --> 00:38:38,565
Hey!
399
00:38:46,908 --> 00:38:49,743
Get those drapes!
400
00:38:54,457 --> 00:38:57,001
Smother him! Try to smother him!
401
00:38:57,085 --> 00:38:59,586
Pull it around over here!
Pull it over him! Come on!
402
00:39:01,172 --> 00:39:03,215
Get some water on that fire!
403
00:39:05,385 --> 00:39:07,469
Turn it on!
404
00:39:11,182 --> 00:39:13,434
Will.
405
00:39:31,953 --> 00:39:34,204
Down. Down. Stay low.
406
00:39:39,127 --> 00:39:41,045
Call an ambulance for this man.
407
00:39:42,338 --> 00:39:44,882
Damn it, man! Get on the ball!
Call an ambulance!
408
00:39:44,966 --> 00:39:47,968
- I want everybody off this floor.
- Yes, sir.
409
00:39:48,094 --> 00:39:50,429
- What about the fire department?
- They're on their way.
410
00:39:50,513 --> 00:39:53,891
Get that ambulance! Give me a hand.
Let's get him in the elevator.
411
00:39:53,975 --> 00:39:55,851
All right. Try not to touch him.
412
00:39:55,977 --> 00:39:57,978
Try to get him by his belt.
413
00:39:58,063 --> 00:40:02,399
Hello. This is 81. We've had an accident up here.
A man's been burned. Get an ambulance.
414
00:40:02,525 --> 00:40:05,778
Yes. Right away. Roberts,
call Duncan in the tower.
415
00:40:05,862 --> 00:40:07,738
We've got a lot of people up there.
416
00:40:07,864 --> 00:40:09,865
- What?
- Do it now!
417
00:40:26,174 --> 00:40:29,093
- It's Mr. Roberts.
- Yeah. Doug.
418
00:40:29,177 --> 00:40:31,095
We were getting worried about you.
419
00:40:31,179 --> 00:40:34,556
Susan's here, Senator Parker,
the mayor and his wife.
420
00:40:34,641 --> 00:40:37,726
Everybody wants to know why the world's
greatest architect isn't here.
421
00:40:37,811 --> 00:40:41,146
Never mind about that. Will Giddings
has been pretty badly burned.
422
00:40:41,231 --> 00:40:44,108
Will Giddings burned? How?
423
00:40:44,192 --> 00:40:46,360
Listen. I've already got an ambulance coming,
424
00:40:46,444 --> 00:40:50,739
but you better think about getting those
people upstairs down on the ground floor.
425
00:40:50,824 --> 00:40:54,326
What for? We got a fire here!
426
00:40:54,410 --> 00:40:56,912
Well, I think it's under control, but-
427
00:40:56,996 --> 00:40:59,581
Well, then, uh, why the urgency?
428
00:40:59,666 --> 00:41:02,042
Urgency?
429
00:41:02,127 --> 00:41:05,170
Hey, Dunc, if that fire was caused
by fluky wiring in this building,
430
00:41:05,255 --> 00:41:07,297
we could get fires breaking out everywhere!
431
00:41:07,382 --> 00:41:11,135
Doug, I think you're overreacting.
432
00:41:11,219 --> 00:41:15,556
Now, I feel sorry for Will Giddings,
but he'll be taken care of.
433
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:19,810
But I am not going to concern myself
with a fire in a storage room on 81...
434
00:41:19,894 --> 00:41:22,855
because it can't possibly
affect us up here.
435
00:41:22,939 --> 00:41:25,566
Not in this building.
436
00:41:25,650 --> 00:41:29,528
Now, have someone call me when
the fire department arrives.
437
00:41:29,612 --> 00:41:33,157
In the meantime, get in your dinner
jacket and come up and join the party.
438
00:41:33,241 --> 00:41:35,659
Now, come on!
439
00:42:07,233 --> 00:42:10,944
What building's on the
corner of Montgomery and-
440
00:42:12,822 --> 00:42:14,823
Oh, Jesus.
441
00:42:16,117 --> 00:42:18,202
- The glass tower.
- What?
442
00:42:18,286 --> 00:42:20,287
The glass tower!
443
00:42:22,207 --> 00:42:25,292
I sure hope that fire's
on the first floor.
444
00:42:27,462 --> 00:42:29,546
You ever fight one in a high-rise?
445
00:42:30,548 --> 00:42:32,549
Yeah.
446
00:42:34,677 --> 00:42:36,970
Is it as rough as I hear?
447
00:42:38,806 --> 00:42:41,391
Like being inside a chimney!
448
00:43:02,497 --> 00:43:04,498
People.
449
00:43:04,582 --> 00:43:06,959
Hell, they got here before we did.
450
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:11,088
Don't anybody ever stay home anymore?
451
00:43:28,856 --> 00:43:31,775
Get some hands over here, and
have 'em walk out there. Okay.
452
00:43:31,859 --> 00:43:34,903
Captain. You understand?
I want you over that way.
453
00:43:34,988 --> 00:43:36,905
Mike, she's throwin' a lot of smoke.
454
00:43:37,031 --> 00:43:38,949
- Eighty-first floor, right?
- Right.
455
00:43:39,033 --> 00:43:41,243
We've got lobby control.
Second alarm is in.
456
00:43:41,369 --> 00:43:43,537
- Set up a forward command.
- Got it.
457
00:43:46,708 --> 00:43:50,419
Chief, this is Roberts, the architect.
458
00:43:50,503 --> 00:43:53,597
- What've we got here, Kappy?
- Fire started, 81st floor. Storage room.
459
00:43:53,681 --> 00:43:56,049
This is a bad one.
460
00:43:56,134 --> 00:43:58,719
The smoke is so thick we can't
tell how far it's spread.
461
00:43:58,845 --> 00:44:01,763
- What about your exhaust system?
- Well, it should've reversed automatically.
462
00:44:01,889 --> 00:44:04,391
- There must have been a motor burnout or somethin'.
- Sprinklers?
463
00:44:04,517 --> 00:44:08,103
- They're not working on 81.
- Why not?
464
00:44:08,187 --> 00:44:10,314
I don't know.
465
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:12,649
- Jim.
- Yes, sir.
466
00:44:12,734 --> 00:44:15,652
All right. Give us a quick refresher
on your standpipe systems.
467
00:44:15,737 --> 00:44:18,739
Well, we got outlets on every floor.
Both three and one-and-a-half inch.
468
00:44:18,865 --> 00:44:21,283
- G.P.M.?
- 1,500 from ground to 68,
469
00:44:21,367 --> 00:44:23,452
1,000 from 68 to 100...
470
00:44:23,536 --> 00:44:25,454
and, uh, 500 from there to the roof.
471
00:44:25,538 --> 00:44:28,707
All right. And you're sure these elevators
are programmed for emergency service?
472
00:44:28,833 --> 00:44:31,084
- These two are.
What floor do you keep your plans on?
473
00:44:31,210 --> 00:44:34,421
- Seventy-nine. My office.
- That's good. That's two floors below the fire.
474
00:44:34,505 --> 00:44:36,423
All right. That'll be our forward command.
475
00:44:36,507 --> 00:44:39,468
- All right, men. Take up the equipment.
- Right. Let's go.
476
00:44:41,763 --> 00:44:43,764
Okay.
477
00:44:46,225 --> 00:44:48,143
Architects.
478
00:44:48,227 --> 00:44:50,145
- Yeah. It's all our fault.
479
00:44:50,229 --> 00:44:53,357
Now, you know there's no sure way
for us to fight a fire...
480
00:44:53,441 --> 00:44:55,859
in anything over the seventh floor,
481
00:44:55,943 --> 00:44:58,653
but you guys just keep
buildin' em as high as you can.
482
00:44:59,822 --> 00:45:03,325
Hey. Are you here to take me on or the fire?
483
00:45:05,036 --> 00:45:06,912
Okay. Well, what about the 81st floor?
484
00:45:07,038 --> 00:45:09,331
You got everybody out of there?
485
00:45:10,958 --> 00:45:13,902
- I want to see all your floor plans. 81 through 85.
- Gotcha.
486
00:45:14,228 --> 00:45:17,829
This is what I'm worried about.
All those beams and that glass.
487
00:45:17,855 --> 00:45:18,507
- Chief.
- Yeah?
488
00:45:18,633 --> 00:45:21,718
81 has been evacuated, but it doesn't
look too good up there.
489
00:45:21,803 --> 00:45:24,554
How long before you can give me a
complete list of your tenants?
490
00:45:24,639 --> 00:45:27,349
You don't have to worry about that.
We're movin' 'em out right now.
491
00:45:27,475 --> 00:45:30,060
Not live-in. Business tenants.
We kind of looked up there too.
492
00:45:30,144 --> 00:45:33,688
The majority of them haven't moved in yet,
and those that have aren't working tonight.
493
00:45:33,773 --> 00:45:35,982
I want to know who they are,
not where they are.
494
00:45:36,067 --> 00:45:39,111
Now what does that got to do
with anything- who they are?
495
00:45:39,195 --> 00:45:41,738
Do you have any wool or silk manufacturers?
496
00:45:41,823 --> 00:45:45,033
You see, in a fire, wool and
silk give off cyanide gas.
497
00:45:45,118 --> 00:45:48,453
Do you have any, uh, sporting good
manufacturers, like table tennis balls?
498
00:45:48,579 --> 00:45:51,915
They give off toxic gases. Want me
to keep goin' down the line? No.
499
00:45:52,041 --> 00:45:55,210
- One list of tenants comin' right up.
- Thank you.
500
00:45:55,294 --> 00:45:57,879
Over here and here. Here.
501
00:45:58,005 --> 00:46:01,425
- What have we got?
- Well, elevator bank. Central core.
502
00:46:01,509 --> 00:46:04,219
Service elevators over here.
Air-conditioning duct, six inches.
503
00:46:04,345 --> 00:46:07,889
- Right. Pipe alleys here?
- One, two, three, four, five.
504
00:46:08,015 --> 00:46:09,891
- This is south?
- South.
505
00:46:10,017 --> 00:46:12,352
- Have you got any construction going up in 81?
- Nope.
506
00:46:12,437 --> 00:46:15,939
Anything that could blow up, like
gasoline, kerosene, uh, fabric cleaner?
507
00:46:16,065 --> 00:46:18,942
- I don't think so.
- Good. I'll be up on 81.
508
00:46:19,068 --> 00:46:20,986
- Okay.
- For what it's worth, architect,
509
00:46:21,070 --> 00:46:23,238
this is one building that I figured wouldn't burn.
510
00:46:23,322 --> 00:46:25,907
Neither did I.
511
00:46:27,952 --> 00:46:29,911
And they're celebrating. A party.
512
00:46:29,996 --> 00:46:33,832
- Party? What party? Where?
- In the Promenade Room. 300 people.
513
00:46:33,916 --> 00:46:36,585
Why didn't you get 'em the hell out of there?
514
00:46:36,669 --> 00:46:40,589
Why don't you go on upstairs and talk to Duncan?
He ain't exactly listening to me.
515
00:46:40,673 --> 00:46:42,674
I will.
516
00:46:45,052 --> 00:46:47,220
Oh. Here he is now.
517
00:46:47,305 --> 00:46:50,056
This is Duncan.
518
00:46:52,351 --> 00:46:54,978
A battalion chief?
519
00:46:55,062 --> 00:46:57,063
- I'll watch out for him. Thank you.
520
00:47:01,486 --> 00:47:05,155
Ted, take your men down. Check that hallway.
Take it down to the other crew.
521
00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:08,617
Jack. Jack. How bad?
522
00:47:08,743 --> 00:47:12,496
I don't like the looks of it.
It's running the ceiling. Uh-huh.
523
00:47:19,462 --> 00:47:22,214
Work it around.
Up there.
524
00:47:24,926 --> 00:47:27,219
- I'll be up topside.
- Right.
525
00:47:31,265 --> 00:47:33,808
Jack, watch yourself.
526
00:47:35,311 --> 00:47:37,312
Keep it high.
527
00:48:13,975 --> 00:48:16,393
- You looking for me, Chief?
- If you're Duncan, yeah.
528
00:48:16,477 --> 00:48:19,271
I am. Everything under control?
529
00:48:19,355 --> 00:48:21,773
We've gotta move all these people out of here.
530
00:48:21,857 --> 00:48:23,775
Oh, now just how bad is it?
531
00:48:23,859 --> 00:48:26,361
It's a fire, mister, and all fires are bad.
532
00:48:26,445 --> 00:48:29,489
Well, uh, I don't believe
that you're familiar with...
533
00:48:29,574 --> 00:48:32,576
the many modern safety systems we
have designed into this building.
534
00:48:32,660 --> 00:48:34,619
We've got 'em all.
535
00:48:34,704 --> 00:48:36,621
All right. It's your building, but it's our fire.
536
00:48:36,706 --> 00:48:38,832
Now let's get these people
the hell out of here.
537
00:48:38,916 --> 00:48:40,875
I don't think you're listening, Chief.
538
00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:45,088
There's no way for a fire on 81 to reach up here.
Not in this building.
539
00:48:45,172 --> 00:48:47,340
Okay. I'll do it.
540
00:48:47,425 --> 00:48:49,342
Hold it. Hold it.
541
00:48:49,427 --> 00:48:52,095
The mayor's out there. Do you
want me to pull rank on you?
542
00:48:52,179 --> 00:48:54,306
When there's a fire, I outrank everybody here.
543
00:48:54,390 --> 00:48:56,683
Now, one thing we don't want is a panic.
544
00:48:56,767 --> 00:48:58,977
Now, I could tell 'em,
but you ought to do it.
545
00:48:59,061 --> 00:49:01,646
Just make a nice cool announcement
to all your guests...
546
00:49:01,731 --> 00:49:04,566
and tell 'em the party's being
moved down below the fire floor...
547
00:49:04,650 --> 00:49:06,568
right now.
548
00:49:46,442 --> 00:49:49,903
Patty, you and Susan stay
right here where I can find you.
549
00:49:49,987 --> 00:49:52,155
Now don't leave this table.
550
00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:54,240
You I want to talk to.
551
00:49:58,496 --> 00:50:02,791
- Did you change any of Doug's electrical specifications?
- I most certainly did.
552
00:50:02,875 --> 00:50:04,834
For God sakes, why?
553
00:50:04,919 --> 00:50:07,504
The reason should be obvious.
Especially to you.
554
00:50:07,588 --> 00:50:10,715
We've got a fire. And if it was
caused by anything you did,
555
00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:14,469
I'm going to hang you out to dry,
and then I'm going to hang you!
556
00:50:18,474 --> 00:50:20,475
Would you, uh, please stop playing?
557
00:50:20,601 --> 00:50:23,103
Stop playing, will you?
558
00:50:24,980 --> 00:50:26,981
Ladies and gentlemen.
559
00:50:28,484 --> 00:50:32,404
Ladies and gentlemen,
may I have your attention?
560
00:50:33,447 --> 00:50:36,449
It seems that we have a small fire...
561
00:50:36,534 --> 00:50:41,037
in one of our storage rooms,
50 floors below.
562
00:50:41,122 --> 00:50:44,249
Now, I assure you, there's no danger.
563
00:50:44,333 --> 00:50:48,586
But in accordance with
the fire department's orders,
564
00:50:49,964 --> 00:50:52,173
a purely precautionary procedure,
565
00:50:52,258 --> 00:50:56,928
we're going to move the party
down to the lobby for a while,
566
00:50:57,012 --> 00:51:01,099
and we'll be serving cocktails and
champagne in our Continental Room.
567
00:51:01,183 --> 00:51:05,145
But I promise you.
Dinner will not be delayed.
568
00:51:05,229 --> 00:51:08,148
Now, if we can all move to the elevators.
569
00:51:26,709 --> 00:51:28,752
Now, ladies and gentlemen,
570
00:51:28,836 --> 00:51:31,337
there's... there's no reason to rush.
571
00:51:32,506 --> 00:51:34,883
Senator Parker, you and your party.
572
00:51:36,469 --> 00:51:38,428
It's really all right.
573
00:51:38,512 --> 00:51:41,222
Stay here. I'll be right back.
574
00:51:46,145 --> 00:51:48,813
- Lisolette!
- Frank.
575
00:51:48,898 --> 00:51:51,024
Lisolette.
576
00:52:10,211 --> 00:52:13,213
- How's it going, Chief?
- Better get ready.
577
00:52:13,297 --> 00:52:16,174
Kappy, pull out the floor plans on 82.
We got problems.
578
00:52:16,300 --> 00:52:19,260
- Fire lapping up?
- Yeah. Are your com lines all set up and tested?
579
00:52:19,386 --> 00:52:22,597
Phone jacks on every floor. I'm
gonna plug into your P.A. system.
580
00:52:22,723 --> 00:52:24,641
- No sweat.
- How about your emergency setup?
581
00:52:24,767 --> 00:52:27,310
- Battery-powered standby system.
- Can you take these lines...
582
00:52:27,436 --> 00:52:30,104
- and splice them into our two-way communications band?
- Sure.
583
00:52:30,231 --> 00:52:32,106
- No problem?
- No problem.
584
00:52:32,233 --> 00:52:34,442
- Okay. How long will this take?
- About a minute.
585
00:52:34,527 --> 00:52:36,820
Not bad.
586
00:52:36,904 --> 00:52:40,573
Here's our problem. Fire's lapping here.
It's going up through the windows.
587
00:52:42,576 --> 00:52:44,118
Get down! Get down!
588
00:52:51,544 --> 00:52:53,920
Come on!
The ceiling's going!
589
00:52:59,885 --> 00:53:03,471
They're trapped!
We need help! Bring a line!
590
00:53:07,601 --> 00:53:09,644
Pull 'em out!
Pull 'em out!
591
00:53:09,728 --> 00:53:12,480
Drop the fire line!
Drop it low!
592
00:53:26,203 --> 00:53:28,329
Battalion 2 to forward command, urgent!
593
00:53:28,414 --> 00:53:30,373
Forward command. Go ahead.
594
00:53:30,457 --> 00:53:33,835
Explosion on 81.
Fire heading toward elevator banks.
595
00:53:33,919 --> 00:53:36,004
We need more crews up here fast!
596
00:53:36,088 --> 00:53:38,590
All right.
They need relief on 81. Hit it.
597
00:53:38,674 --> 00:53:40,675
They're on their way.
598
00:53:42,261 --> 00:53:44,178
- Done.
- You better call Duncan,
599
00:53:44,263 --> 00:53:46,223
tell him to stop those people in the Tower Room...
600
00:53:46,307 --> 00:53:48,892
from using that express elevator,
or somebody's gonna get killed.
601
00:53:48,976 --> 00:53:51,769
Okay, Kappy. Ring in a third alarm.
602
00:53:51,854 --> 00:53:54,230
I want some rescue squads here,
and I also want choppers.
603
00:53:54,356 --> 00:53:57,108
We may need 'em if we're
gonna get those people down.
604
00:53:57,234 --> 00:54:00,737
All right. Come on, fireman.
605
00:54:00,863 --> 00:54:02,822
I'll be on 81.
Fine.
606
00:54:02,907 --> 00:54:05,283
The fire's moving toward the main shaft.
607
00:54:05,367 --> 00:54:07,702
Use the scenic elevator.
Don't overload it.
608
00:54:07,786 --> 00:54:09,787
Okay, Doug.
609
00:54:13,250 --> 00:54:15,543
I don't like the way you talk to me.
You drunk?
610
00:54:15,669 --> 00:54:17,587
- Not yet.
- Well, then get out of my way.
611
00:54:17,671 --> 00:54:21,215
You didn't talk like this two years ago, did you?
Running over budget and out of money.
612
00:54:21,300 --> 00:54:25,511
Did you ask me then how I could shave two
million dollars of our electrical costs?
613
00:54:25,596 --> 00:54:27,472
Shut up, and help me with these people.
614
00:54:27,598 --> 00:54:29,766
- And let me ask you, my dear father-in-law...
- Excuse me.
615
00:54:29,892 --> 00:54:33,436
- Am I the only subcontractor you
encouraged to cut corners?
- Excuse me.
616
00:54:33,520 --> 00:54:36,856
Where did you save the other four
million in Doug's original budget?
617
00:54:47,368 --> 00:54:49,369
Everybody.
618
00:54:49,453 --> 00:54:51,454
Shh!
619
00:54:51,538 --> 00:54:53,456
Please. Please.
620
00:54:55,542 --> 00:54:57,460
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry.
621
00:54:57,544 --> 00:55:00,296
You'll have to move back into the Promenade Room,
622
00:55:00,381 --> 00:55:03,508
and we'll be taking you down
by the scenic elevator.
623
00:55:03,592 --> 00:55:07,178
Now, these express elevators
can be activated by fire,
624
00:55:07,262 --> 00:55:10,223
and with the probability
of short circuits,
625
00:55:10,307 --> 00:55:13,726
the cars might stop on the
floor where the fire is.
626
00:55:13,811 --> 00:55:16,604
So, please, we'll use the
scenic elevators. Over there.
627
00:55:19,650 --> 00:55:23,152
For God sakes, get out of there!
628
00:55:23,237 --> 00:55:25,238
Please, back.
629
00:55:50,097 --> 00:55:53,474
Looks bad, Jack. Yeah, it is.
I got a couple of men hurt.
630
00:55:53,559 --> 00:55:55,476
Fire's spreading down all corridors.
631
00:55:55,561 --> 00:55:58,146
All right. I got a third alarm in.
Now, what about this ceiling?
632
00:55:58,272 --> 00:56:01,315
Must have just happened. I'll check
the other corridors. All right.
633
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:03,985
Fireman, let's pull it down before it falls down.
634
00:56:07,781 --> 00:56:10,324
Bring it out!
Take it down.
635
00:56:10,409 --> 00:56:12,702
Empty all the water out!
636
00:56:14,079 --> 00:56:16,039
Fall back!
637
00:56:16,123 --> 00:56:19,292
- Chief, it's out of control. We're losin' it!
- Bring in another line!
638
00:56:35,893 --> 00:56:38,478
Get another hose!
639
00:56:57,664 --> 00:57:00,500
Angela! Angela?
640
00:57:02,169 --> 00:57:04,212
Phillip.
641
00:57:04,296 --> 00:57:06,214
Phillip, open the door!
642
00:58:06,733 --> 00:58:09,318
Do you have any brilliant
ideas I can use upstairs...
643
00:58:09,403 --> 00:58:11,737
to explain where I've
been all this time?
644
00:58:11,822 --> 00:58:14,657
Well, I think what you might do is just, uh,
645
00:58:14,741 --> 00:58:16,826
walk right up to him and say, uh,
646
00:58:16,910 --> 00:58:19,662
"J.D., I'm sorry for the delay,
647
00:58:19,746 --> 00:58:23,291
but my secretary had
an urgent personal problem."
648
00:58:25,294 --> 00:58:28,337
What happens if he asks
what the problem was? Hmm.
649
00:58:29,423 --> 00:58:31,424
He won't.
650
00:58:33,844 --> 00:58:36,429
You know what astonishes me? What?
651
00:58:36,555 --> 00:58:38,681
- You make love with a girl...
- Mm-hmm.
652
00:58:38,765 --> 00:58:41,184
and afterwards, there's no visible evidence.
653
00:58:41,268 --> 00:58:43,603
Nothing to mark the event.
654
00:58:43,687 --> 00:58:45,605
I mean, look at you.
655
00:58:45,689 --> 00:58:48,065
You look like you could be going to church.
656
00:58:49,359 --> 00:58:51,360
In this outfit?
657
00:58:52,821 --> 00:58:54,822
I love you.
658
00:58:58,452 --> 00:59:00,453
Did you leave a cigarette burning?
659
00:59:04,416 --> 00:59:07,001
That's not a cigarette.
660
00:59:25,354 --> 00:59:27,647
Jesus.
661
00:59:33,862 --> 00:59:35,947
Get some towels.
Stuff them under the door.
662
00:59:45,165 --> 00:59:47,166
- Dan.
- Yeah.
663
00:59:48,919 --> 00:59:51,712
Okay.
664
00:59:51,797 --> 00:59:54,548
Yeah. Right.
665
00:59:56,176 --> 00:59:58,261
- What did they say?
- Help's on the way.
666
00:59:58,345 --> 01:00:00,346
Oh.
667
01:00:02,849 --> 01:00:05,226
There's nothing to worry about.
668
01:00:05,352 --> 01:00:10,106
We'll just sit tight and wait till
they get here. I won't panic.
669
01:00:10,190 --> 01:00:12,191
Not to worry, baby.
670
01:00:18,699 --> 01:00:21,033
Please, just join the end of the line.
671
01:00:22,286 --> 01:00:24,328
Oh, no, madam, please. You must...
672
01:00:24,454 --> 01:00:28,124
- But I can't find my daughter. She's here somewhere.
- Oh. But they're aware of that.
673
01:00:28,250 --> 01:00:31,252
She's wearing a purple dress. I've
got to find her. A purple dress.
674
01:00:31,336 --> 01:00:33,212
I promise you. They'll find her.
675
01:00:33,338 --> 01:00:37,091
Hurry up. Come on.
Now, only 12 at a time.
676
01:00:37,175 --> 01:00:39,176
Hurry up. Come on.
677
01:00:40,262 --> 01:00:42,263
I'm sorry. That's it.
678
01:00:44,349 --> 01:00:46,767
Well, be in the next group.
679
01:00:46,852 --> 01:00:48,811
It won't be too long.
680
01:00:48,895 --> 01:00:51,731
What's she doin' on 87?
681
01:00:55,277 --> 01:00:57,445
Forward command? I wanna speak to Jernigan.
682
01:00:58,530 --> 01:01:00,531
Harry.
683
01:01:01,658 --> 01:01:04,577
Jernigan.
684
01:01:04,661 --> 01:01:08,331
What? Damn it, man. You
should've sent a man up there.
685
01:01:08,415 --> 01:01:12,168
How do you expect her to hear
a phone call? She's deaf.
686
01:01:12,252 --> 01:01:14,170
Sure the kids can hear.
687
01:01:14,254 --> 01:01:17,298
I don't know. Maybe they were in the
shower or something when you called.
688
01:01:17,424 --> 01:01:20,217
Forward command. No. You stay where you are.
I'll get 'em down.
689
01:01:20,302 --> 01:01:23,846
No. All my men are committed. I
need fresh crews, damn it! Now!
690
01:01:23,972 --> 01:01:27,600
Okay, forward command. Fresh crews coming right up.
- Still got people on 87.
691
01:01:27,684 --> 01:01:29,685
I'll get 'em down.
692
01:01:33,357 --> 01:01:35,649
I'll give you a hand, Harry.
693
01:01:50,874 --> 01:01:53,292
Turn your face away.
694
01:02:16,775 --> 01:02:18,943
There never were any firemen, were there?
695
01:02:21,363 --> 01:02:23,656
I said that to make it easier on you.
696
01:02:25,951 --> 01:02:27,952
I switched off the phones.
697
01:02:29,496 --> 01:02:31,372
There's no way to call out.
698
01:02:35,502 --> 01:02:37,503
Nobody knows we're up here.
699
01:02:40,966 --> 01:02:43,175
Well, I always did want to die in bed.
700
01:02:48,807 --> 01:02:50,724
Nobody's going to die.
701
01:02:52,853 --> 01:02:56,564
For one thing, at least they'll
never find out about us, will they?
702
01:03:24,801 --> 01:03:27,386
I used to run the 100 in 10 flat.
703
01:03:34,394 --> 01:03:36,395
Don't go.
704
01:03:37,647 --> 01:03:40,900
I'll be back with the whole fire department.
705
01:03:45,447 --> 01:03:47,406
On your mark.
706
01:04:09,930 --> 01:04:11,931
Dan!
707
01:06:13,386 --> 01:06:15,721
Down that corridor!
708
01:06:38,870 --> 01:06:40,746
- You all right?
- They're in there.
- I know it.
709
01:06:40,872 --> 01:06:43,582
- The mother and the two children.
- Don't worry. We'll get 'em out.
710
01:06:43,708 --> 01:06:47,419
- Wait a minute.
- Please, Mrs. Mueller. Please stay back.
711
01:06:47,545 --> 01:06:50,422
- What do you think?
- I don't know. Give it a kick.
712
01:06:58,765 --> 01:07:00,933
I'll take the back.
713
01:07:30,380 --> 01:07:32,381
I got Mrs. Allbright.
714
01:07:36,052 --> 01:07:38,053
Anybody in here?
715
01:08:01,202 --> 01:08:05,372
It's okay, kid. It's okay.
716
01:08:05,498 --> 01:08:07,833
Come on.
717
01:08:26,978 --> 01:08:29,813
- He's okay.
- Mom. Mom!
718
01:08:29,898 --> 01:08:33,442
Your mom's all right. Mr. Jernigan took
her downstairs. She'll be all right.
719
01:08:33,526 --> 01:08:35,486
Anybody else?
720
01:08:35,570 --> 01:08:37,905
My sis... my sister. Where's Angela?
721
01:08:39,199 --> 01:08:41,658
He'll get her.
722
01:08:52,587 --> 01:08:54,588
Angela?
723
01:08:55,715 --> 01:08:57,716
Angela?
724
01:09:17,862 --> 01:09:19,863
Angela?
725
01:09:21,157 --> 01:09:23,200
Angela.
726
01:09:25,954 --> 01:09:28,789
Angela, where are you?
727
01:09:38,299 --> 01:09:40,968
It's gonna be okay. It's okay.
It's all right.
728
01:09:54,774 --> 01:09:57,150
Thank God. Angela.
729
01:10:02,323 --> 01:10:04,324
Come on.
730
01:10:34,689 --> 01:10:36,940
Just take it easy. Easy.
Hold it right here.
731
01:10:37,066 --> 01:10:39,359
- Hold it right here. Hold it here.
- All right!
732
01:10:39,485 --> 01:10:41,612
That's it. Don't press the plaza button.
733
01:10:46,826 --> 01:10:49,494
Everybody just calm down.
734
01:10:52,665 --> 01:10:55,751
At this rate it's gonna take a couple
of hours to get everyone down.
735
01:10:55,835 --> 01:10:59,046
So I would suggest that those of us with
stout hearts and trim waistlines...
736
01:10:59,172 --> 01:11:01,757
- start using the stairs.
- That's 135 floors.
737
01:11:01,841 --> 01:11:03,842
Mm-hmm. All downhill.
738
01:11:24,489 --> 01:11:26,657
It's closer than they told us.
739
01:11:28,785 --> 01:11:31,662
Let's try the south exit.
That might be clear.
740
01:11:47,095 --> 01:11:49,805
Carlos.
741
01:11:49,889 --> 01:11:52,599
- Yes, sir.
- Help us try to get this thing open.
742
01:11:52,684 --> 01:11:55,519
- It's stuck?
- Yeah.
743
01:11:55,603 --> 01:11:57,604
Here. Let me try to kick it.
744
01:12:00,650 --> 01:12:02,567
No.
745
01:12:02,652 --> 01:12:04,569
- I'll call security.
- Yes, sir.
746
01:12:28,052 --> 01:12:30,053
On the double.
747
01:12:34,726 --> 01:12:37,769
Battalion 38, responding to fourth alarm.
748
01:12:37,854 --> 01:12:40,188
Reporting to forward command.
749
01:12:40,273 --> 01:12:42,524
Where are those choppers, Kappy?
750
01:12:42,608 --> 01:12:44,860
Navy's been alerted.
751
01:12:47,113 --> 01:12:49,865
Why do they make these goddamn things so heavy?
752
01:12:49,949 --> 01:12:51,867
Hey, you want it easy, Chief?
753
01:12:51,951 --> 01:12:54,953
I don't see why they couldn't have
designed a survival suit for us...
754
01:12:55,079 --> 01:12:58,498
- like they did for football players.
- Who pays to see us play?
755
01:12:58,583 --> 01:13:00,500
Yeah. Yeah.
756
01:13:04,047 --> 01:13:06,048
Let's go to work.
757
01:13:07,633 --> 01:13:10,260
I need two men to go up the
stairwell to the Tower Room.
758
01:13:10,344 --> 01:13:12,304
There's a door jammed. I want it cleared.
759
01:13:16,309 --> 01:13:18,310
Okay. You got it.
760
01:13:18,394 --> 01:13:21,313
Timmy, I want you with me.
761
01:13:21,439 --> 01:13:24,941
- Get two men. Make sure they've got
30 minutes of air. Kappy?
- Yeah.
762
01:13:25,026 --> 01:13:27,569
Now there's gonna be glass
sailin' all over this city.
763
01:13:27,653 --> 01:13:31,031
Call the police downstairs. Have them
move those barricades four blocks back.
764
01:13:31,157 --> 01:13:33,116
- Got it.
- Let's hit it.
765
01:13:33,201 --> 01:13:35,160
Right.
766
01:13:41,000 --> 01:13:43,085
Yo. Security guard! Anyone here?
767
01:13:51,135 --> 01:13:53,220
Hello? Security!
768
01:14:00,728 --> 01:14:03,647
Say, kitty. Almost missed ya, huh?
769
01:14:10,071 --> 01:14:11,988
Ow!
770
01:14:12,073 --> 01:14:14,658
Keep away from the walls.
771
01:14:14,742 --> 01:14:16,785
There's fire on the other side.
772
01:14:30,424 --> 01:14:32,425
Wait a minute.
773
01:14:36,430 --> 01:14:38,849
It's a ruptured gas line.
Get back!
774
01:14:59,078 --> 01:15:01,121
Oh, my God!
775
01:15:57,470 --> 01:16:00,138
Can you get down? Is there
any way you can get down?
776
01:16:00,223 --> 01:16:04,059
- I think I can.
- Phillip!
777
01:16:04,143 --> 01:16:06,102
Let him try.
778
01:16:07,104 --> 01:16:09,022
There's no other way.
779
01:16:37,301 --> 01:16:39,678
Come on, Phillip.
Come on.
780
01:16:39,762 --> 01:16:41,680
That part's easy.
781
01:16:49,230 --> 01:16:51,356
Come on, now.
Easy does it.
782
01:16:51,482 --> 01:16:53,858
Get your foot over there.
783
01:16:58,698 --> 01:17:00,699
Ease down.
784
01:17:01,742 --> 01:17:03,868
Come on, Phillip. Come on, Phillip.
785
01:17:17,842 --> 01:17:20,135
Your foot's just a couple
of inches away now.
786
01:17:20,219 --> 01:17:22,137
There you go.
787
01:17:22,221 --> 01:17:25,098
Easy now. Easy.
788
01:17:28,227 --> 01:17:30,228
Don't look down.
789
01:17:32,023 --> 01:17:34,607
That's right.
Come on.
790
01:17:35,609 --> 01:17:37,569
I got ya. I got ya.
791
01:17:47,079 --> 01:17:49,164
We were supposed to have fire drills,
792
01:17:49,248 --> 01:17:52,292
but nobody ever told me anything.
793
01:17:52,376 --> 01:17:56,087
We were supposed to have fire drills.
That's what they said. But they never did.
794
01:17:58,841 --> 01:18:02,052
It's going to be all right.
It's going to be all right.
795
01:18:25,993 --> 01:18:27,994
It's going to be all right.
796
01:18:56,565 --> 01:18:58,483
You all right?
797
01:18:58,567 --> 01:19:01,069
You know, I had... I got up all right,
798
01:19:01,153 --> 01:19:03,905
but I think I'm gonna have a
lot of trouble gettin' down.
799
01:19:03,989 --> 01:19:08,868
You think you could help me? Could you
just hold on around my neck real tight?
800
01:19:08,953 --> 01:19:10,870
Oh, no.
801
01:19:12,540 --> 01:19:14,833
Come on. Give it a try.
802
01:19:16,627 --> 01:19:21,214
Just put your arms around me, and
you tell me what to do. Okay?
803
01:19:21,340 --> 01:19:23,466
Put her legs down.
804
01:19:23,592 --> 01:19:25,718
Okay. Hold on tight.
Put your legs around here.
805
01:19:25,845 --> 01:19:28,596
Hold on real tight now. Go on.
806
01:19:29,765 --> 01:19:32,142
Hang on.
807
01:19:32,226 --> 01:19:35,145
Just hold on tight, honey. Hold on.
808
01:19:51,787 --> 01:19:53,705
Hold on.
809
01:19:53,789 --> 01:19:55,707
You're okay.
810
01:20:17,396 --> 01:20:19,397
Hold on tight now.
811
01:20:25,946 --> 01:20:27,947
It's gonna be okay now.
812
01:20:33,162 --> 01:20:35,079
Hold on!
813
01:20:35,164 --> 01:20:37,040
Easy now.
814
01:20:37,166 --> 01:20:39,501
- Hold on, Angela.
- I've got a hold of you.
815
01:20:39,585 --> 01:20:43,046
Get your arms around my neck. That-a-girl.
816
01:20:54,725 --> 01:20:56,643
Nurse. He stayed in too long.
817
01:20:56,727 --> 01:20:58,645
Bring him right over here.
818
01:21:10,282 --> 01:21:12,992
Mrs. Mueller, come on.
You've gotta try!
819
01:21:14,078 --> 01:21:16,162
Take it slowly now.
820
01:22:11,552 --> 01:22:13,511
You've got about a foot to go.
821
01:22:14,763 --> 01:22:18,224
Feel around with your feet now.
Can you see it?
822
01:22:23,564 --> 01:22:26,524
Hold onto that pole
and grab a hold of my belt.
823
01:22:36,243 --> 01:22:38,703
Try to get your left hand over there.
824
01:22:44,835 --> 01:22:46,878
About half a foot. Six inches.
825
01:22:48,380 --> 01:22:50,465
Try to swing now.
826
01:22:51,967 --> 01:22:53,968
Just try to pendulum.
827
01:22:55,262 --> 01:22:57,263
Can you swing?
828
01:22:58,891 --> 01:23:01,768
Come on. Just get to me
over here.
829
01:23:01,852 --> 01:23:04,062
Mrs. Mueller.
830
01:23:13,989 --> 01:23:15,907
Are you all right?
Fine.
831
01:23:19,161 --> 01:23:21,162
All right, let's go.
832
01:23:40,391 --> 01:23:42,558
Come on.
Come on.
833
01:23:46,355 --> 01:23:49,607
I'm comin'. I'm comin'.
834
01:24:02,871 --> 01:24:04,831
You okay?
835
01:24:08,293 --> 01:24:10,461
Nobody's gonna get down this way.
836
01:24:14,299 --> 01:24:16,300
Oh, God, we're cut off.
837
01:24:17,553 --> 01:24:20,012
Well, the only way is up.
838
01:24:20,097 --> 01:24:22,014
Come on.
Let's go.
839
01:24:37,656 --> 01:24:42,201
- Chief O'Hallorhan?
- Inside. Security phone on the right.
840
01:24:50,586 --> 01:24:53,586
- Would you get me Chief O'Hallorhan right away?
- I'm trying to get through now.
841
01:24:58,510 --> 01:25:01,429
- Can't we go down?
- No, the fire's below us. We have to go up.
842
01:25:01,513 --> 01:25:03,806
This'll put us right underneath the Promenade Room.
843
01:25:03,891 --> 01:25:06,184
Come on!
844
01:25:15,027 --> 01:25:17,862
Tim, get that phone.
845
01:25:17,946 --> 01:25:21,532
- Check your ventilating systems over here. Jack?
- Yeah?
846
01:25:21,617 --> 01:25:23,785
I'll send up another truck company.
847
01:25:23,869 --> 01:25:26,621
Pull this ceiling and vent that other side.
848
01:25:26,705 --> 01:25:29,123
It's for you, Chief. The air control
officer for the copter.
849
01:25:29,208 --> 01:25:32,251
Thank you.
Jack, I know you've been hittin' it.
850
01:25:32,336 --> 01:25:34,337
I'm gonna get some relief
for you and your men.
851
01:25:40,219 --> 01:25:42,178
This is O'Hallorhan. Who am I speaking to?
852
01:25:42,262 --> 01:25:44,806
Chief Flaker, sir. U.S. Navy, Air Rescue.
853
01:25:44,890 --> 01:25:47,517
It's about time. We could
use your rescue choppers.
854
01:25:47,601 --> 01:25:50,081
I'll order them right away.
I'd like to set up communications...
855
01:25:50,145 --> 01:25:52,063
next to the forward command center.
856
01:25:52,147 --> 01:25:54,982
No, no, too dangerous.
Stay outta those elevators.
857
01:25:55,067 --> 01:25:57,401
Well, then, sir, we'll just
trot right up the stairs.
858
01:25:57,486 --> 01:26:00,363
Yeah, you'll just trot
right up to 79, huh?
859
01:26:00,447 --> 01:26:02,615
Standing by in the lobby, sir.
860
01:26:02,699 --> 01:26:04,617
Thank you.
861
01:26:32,437 --> 01:26:35,439
This isn't gonna help any.
862
01:26:41,613 --> 01:26:44,782
They won't hear us in there.
There's 300 people.
863
01:26:44,867 --> 01:26:48,327
It's a fire door. It's over
two and a half inches thick.
864
01:26:48,412 --> 01:26:51,038
Maybe I could crawl through there.
865
01:26:51,123 --> 01:26:54,041
Will we- Will we be able to go with you?
866
01:26:54,126 --> 01:26:57,879
It leads to a pipe shaft that's
135 floors straight down.
867
01:26:59,715 --> 01:27:01,632
Use this.
868
01:27:01,717 --> 01:27:04,385
Phillip, you take care of these ladies.
869
01:27:04,469 --> 01:27:06,804
They're your responsibility now.
870
01:28:17,376 --> 01:28:20,336
All right.
I'll tell him.
871
01:28:20,462 --> 01:28:22,880
- Chief?
- Yeah. How does it look on 65?
872
01:28:23,006 --> 01:28:27,009
- They're getting it contained.
- Well, it's still below us. Let's take a look.
873
01:28:27,094 --> 01:28:29,512
Okay, watch the electrics.
874
01:28:46,780 --> 01:28:49,407
Come here!
875
01:28:50,784 --> 01:28:53,285
The master generator's blown!
876
01:28:53,370 --> 01:28:55,287
But the backup
should've kicked on by now.
877
01:28:55,372 --> 01:28:57,623
Go see what's holding up our starters.
878
01:29:09,344 --> 01:29:11,595
What happened?
879
01:29:15,058 --> 01:29:16,976
Where the hell are we?
880
01:29:32,826 --> 01:29:36,537
Security, this is Duncan.
Have the main breakers gone?
881
01:29:40,125 --> 01:29:42,209
The whole system's failed.
882
01:29:42,294 --> 01:29:45,588
Well, what's the last report
on the firemen getting here?
883
01:29:45,672 --> 01:29:47,631
Are they on their way?
884
01:29:50,177 --> 01:29:52,636
Hold onto me a second.
885
01:30:31,468 --> 01:30:32,885
Hold on!
886
01:30:37,516 --> 01:30:39,475
Jesus Christ, that's one of our men!
887
01:30:39,559 --> 01:30:41,477
Oh, God!
888
01:30:41,561 --> 01:30:47,233
Okay, okay. Go down by rope. Better get it.
889
01:30:47,359 --> 01:30:51,570
- Sir?
- We're gonna rappel. Down to 65.
890
01:30:51,655 --> 01:30:53,781
Get on top of that elevator. Use it for an exit.
891
01:30:53,865 --> 01:30:55,908
Why not pry open the doors at this level?
892
01:30:58,120 --> 01:31:00,204
I don't think so.
893
01:31:00,288 --> 01:31:04,125
I can't make it. I'll fall. I know I'll fall.
894
01:31:06,336 --> 01:31:09,964
Okay. Then you better go first.
895
01:31:10,048 --> 01:31:13,050
That way, when you fall, you
won't take any of us with you.
896
01:31:25,063 --> 01:31:27,022
Let's go to work.
897
01:31:37,450 --> 01:31:39,451
Check all rooms in that corridor.
898
01:31:41,079 --> 01:31:43,080
Check this room!
899
01:31:47,836 --> 01:31:49,753
Tear it down.
900
01:32:49,105 --> 01:32:52,107
See? Just like
we taught you in training.
901
01:32:53,735 --> 01:32:56,153
Okay, open it up.
902
01:33:06,164 --> 01:33:08,832
Of course I read you!
903
01:33:08,917 --> 01:33:12,127
Look, I don't know where the hell he
is, but if I see him, I'll tell him!
904
01:33:14,172 --> 01:33:17,466
- Must be an easier way to get to a fire.
- Not for us.
905
01:33:17,592 --> 01:33:20,594
- Mike, where have you been?
- We had a little trouble getting here.
906
01:33:20,679 --> 01:33:23,305
The navy flight commander needs
you down in the lobby right away.
907
01:33:23,431 --> 01:33:25,933
- Sixty-five floors? Just walk right down?
- No, it's only five.
908
01:33:26,017 --> 01:33:28,352
They got a freight elevator on 60 on auxiliary power.
909
01:33:28,478 --> 01:33:31,230
- Okay. You got this thing controlled?
- Well, we're gettin' there.
910
01:33:31,314 --> 01:33:33,190
All right, you men stay here with the chief.
911
01:33:33,316 --> 01:33:36,193
- Tell him I'm on my way.
- Oh, Mike...
912
01:33:37,362 --> 01:33:39,321
This one of your men?
913
01:33:40,657 --> 01:33:43,784
"Dan Bigelow". Nope. Must be a civilian.
914
01:33:50,834 --> 01:33:53,210
Located O'Hallorhan.
He's on his way.
915
01:34:19,404 --> 01:34:21,280
Look!
916
01:34:21,406 --> 01:34:23,615
There's another there. Look.
917
01:34:49,309 --> 01:34:51,477
It's too damn windy out there!
918
01:34:51,561 --> 01:34:53,561
Hey, Carlos, give me that
security phone, will you?
919
01:34:53,646 --> 01:34:57,608
Mr. Roberts. How'd you get in here?
I'll give it to you later.
920
01:34:58,943 --> 01:35:01,153
Give me O'Hallorhan.
921
01:35:01,237 --> 01:35:03,238
Well, that's okay. Anybody'll do. Listen.
922
01:35:03,323 --> 01:35:05,240
The south stairwell is blocked.
923
01:35:05,325 --> 01:35:09,078
Cement, for Chrissake! Can you send
somebody up to break it loose?
924
01:35:10,580 --> 01:35:12,706
They're on their way? How...
925
01:35:12,791 --> 01:35:14,792
Okay.
926
01:35:15,877 --> 01:35:20,005
Oh. Oh, my Lord, Elke. My poor cat.
927
01:35:20,131 --> 01:35:23,550
- She's still in the apartment.
- Oh, it's okay, Mrs. Mueller.
928
01:35:23,635 --> 01:35:26,553
I'm sure the fire didn't get up that high yet.
She'll be all right.
929
01:35:33,103 --> 01:35:35,312
- Oh, hello, ma'am.
- Oh, hello.
930
01:35:35,438 --> 01:35:38,232
- How you doin'?
- We're fine. Glad to see you.
931
01:35:38,316 --> 01:35:40,818
Yeah. That's the door right here!
It's blocked with cement.
932
01:35:40,902 --> 01:35:42,903
Okay.
933
01:35:51,704 --> 01:35:54,373
Ah, we're gonna have to
blow that thing. Right.
934
01:35:59,504 --> 01:36:03,382
- Mrs. Mueller.
- It's Mr. Roberts!
935
01:36:05,718 --> 01:36:08,178
Mrs. Mueller! Phillip!
936
01:36:08,263 --> 01:36:11,348
We hear you! We're gonna blow this door!
937
01:36:11,433 --> 01:36:13,267
Get everybody clear.
938
01:36:13,351 --> 01:36:16,228
You've got about 30 seconds. Understood?
939
01:36:18,189 --> 01:36:20,149
Understood!
940
01:36:24,988 --> 01:36:27,364
Okay, ma'am, let's get
down there outta the way.
941
01:36:27,449 --> 01:36:29,366
Okay.
942
01:36:29,451 --> 01:36:32,171
Everybody, could you please go back?
They're gonna dynamite this door.
943
01:36:32,245 --> 01:36:34,913
Step back to the elevator. We're
blowing up the exit door.
944
01:36:37,542 --> 01:36:39,877
Okay, get down low.
945
01:36:44,966 --> 01:36:47,176
What kind of explosives are you using?
946
01:36:47,260 --> 01:36:50,554
It's plastic, C-4.
Blow a hole in anything.
947
01:37:01,649 --> 01:37:04,193
Here.
948
01:37:04,277 --> 01:37:06,862
Shine this on the bag for me.
949
01:37:06,946 --> 01:37:08,906
That's it.
Keep it on there.
950
01:37:11,993 --> 01:37:14,161
Is there going to be a bang?
951
01:37:14,245 --> 01:37:17,539
Ah, nothin' for you to worry
about, baby. You'll be safe.
952
01:37:20,418 --> 01:37:23,212
Okay, everybody ready?
953
01:37:40,605 --> 01:37:42,981
Good goin', guys.
954
01:37:43,066 --> 01:37:45,567
Hey.
955
01:37:45,652 --> 01:37:48,445
You all right?
956
01:37:58,665 --> 01:38:02,209
I'm James Duncan.
Can we get down that way?
957
01:38:02,293 --> 01:38:05,963
No, not a chance, sir. The
stairway below is completely gone.
958
01:38:23,439 --> 01:38:25,440
Everyone, listen!
959
01:38:25,567 --> 01:38:28,443
- Hold it down!
- Listen!
960
01:38:29,612 --> 01:38:31,530
I've been informed by the fire department...
961
01:38:31,614 --> 01:38:35,576
that there's no possibility of
using this stairway to get out.
962
01:38:35,702 --> 01:38:38,996
Now, I'm-I'm sorry.
963
01:38:42,083 --> 01:38:46,628
Patty. There's still a chance
we can get out of here.
964
01:38:48,381 --> 01:38:50,882
Didn't you hear what my father said?
We can't get out that way.
965
01:38:50,967 --> 01:38:54,052
Are you coming or not?
966
01:38:56,055 --> 01:39:00,142
No.
967
01:39:00,226 --> 01:39:04,313
If you have to wait for permission
to save your own life, go ahead.
968
01:39:04,439 --> 01:39:06,607
- I'm getting out.
- Roger. You...
969
01:39:36,596 --> 01:39:39,389
Ah!
970
01:39:43,811 --> 01:39:46,521
Come on!
Come on!
971
01:39:48,399 --> 01:39:52,194
Let's go! You guys, pull the ceiling!
972
01:39:52,278 --> 01:39:54,946
You two, in there!
973
01:40:00,244 --> 01:40:02,454
I guess you thought I stood you up.
974
01:40:02,538 --> 01:40:04,831
It crossed my mind.
975
01:40:05,833 --> 01:40:08,043
- You sure you're all right?
- Mm-hmm.
976
01:40:10,129 --> 01:40:14,007
Doug, those, uh... those helicopters,
th-they'll get us out of here, won't they?
977
01:40:14,092 --> 01:40:16,301
Sure they will, if there's not too much wind.
978
01:40:17,845 --> 01:40:20,597
Some party.
979
01:40:21,599 --> 01:40:23,517
Doug-
980
01:40:26,270 --> 01:40:28,939
Hmm, da-dumm!
981
01:40:30,733 --> 01:40:33,068
Can I get you anything else? No?
982
01:40:56,926 --> 01:40:59,261
Damn!
983
01:41:02,598 --> 01:41:04,558
The choppers are here all right,
984
01:41:04,642 --> 01:41:07,394
but those high winds on the roof
make a landing attempt too risky.
985
01:41:07,478 --> 01:41:10,230
Get some men on the roof
of the Peerless Building.
986
01:41:10,314 --> 01:41:12,941
I wanna try to get a breeches
buoy up to the Promenade Room.
987
01:41:13,025 --> 01:41:15,402
We can't shoot a line that
distance, not in this wind.
988
01:41:15,528 --> 01:41:19,489
- What's the matter with shootin' it from a chopper?
- I'll get right on it.
989
01:41:22,577 --> 01:41:25,787
- Don?
- Chief, uh, the ceiling fell in on him.
990
01:41:25,872 --> 01:41:28,331
By the time I got to him, he
was covered with hot stuff.
991
01:41:54,317 --> 01:41:57,986
Pretty ridiculous spectacle, right?
992
01:41:58,112 --> 01:42:01,448
- There's no way down.
- Thank God you're all right.
993
01:42:02,533 --> 01:42:04,951
Oh, Roger, what are we gonna do?
994
01:42:05,036 --> 01:42:09,039
I know what I'm gonna do. Get quietly drunk.
995
01:42:11,751 --> 01:42:15,170
If you're responsible for all this,
I know what you must be feeling.
996
01:42:15,254 --> 01:42:17,214
You don't know the meaning of the word.
997
01:42:17,298 --> 01:42:19,216
- Responsible?
- Feeling!
998
01:42:19,300 --> 01:42:23,303
Oh, you know a lot about responsibility.
It's a family trait.
999
01:42:23,387 --> 01:42:26,932
The Duncans are very big in the responsibility
department, at least on the surface.
1000
01:42:27,016 --> 01:42:31,603
That's not fair! I don't think it's
wrong to feel a sense of-of duty!
1001
01:42:31,687 --> 01:42:36,066
Sometimes... when you turn the exact same phrase,
1002
01:42:36,150 --> 01:42:38,068
lift an eyebrow the exact same way,
1003
01:42:38,152 --> 01:42:40,987
I see, and I hear your father.
1004
01:42:41,072 --> 01:42:44,199
The two of you, one! Like a great big tree,
1005
01:42:44,283 --> 01:42:46,701
and a little baby tree in its
shade where the acorn fell.
1006
01:42:46,786 --> 01:42:49,830
Roger, I came over here to you...
1007
01:42:49,914 --> 01:42:53,583
because I-I-I-I thought you might need me!
1008
01:42:56,796 --> 01:43:01,049
Right now, what I need most...
1009
01:43:01,133 --> 01:43:03,760
is this.
1010
01:43:06,430 --> 01:43:12,227
I, um-I promised myself that if I ever saw
you again, I'd make a full confession.
1011
01:43:12,311 --> 01:43:14,729
No, but thank you.
1012
01:43:14,856 --> 01:43:18,149
- But you don't know anything about me.
- But I do.
1013
01:43:18,234 --> 01:43:21,027
You're penniless.
1014
01:43:21,112 --> 01:43:23,405
You have no villa in the south of France-
1015
01:43:23,489 --> 01:43:26,741
No antiques coming, no paintings.
1016
01:43:26,826 --> 01:43:28,785
But, Harlee, I don't care.
1017
01:43:31,497 --> 01:43:35,041
I'm a cheap tinhorn, a two-bit con man.
1018
01:43:35,126 --> 01:43:38,169
Not cheap. Maybe unsuccessful.
1019
01:43:38,254 --> 01:43:41,131
But don't you see? Your heart isn't in it.
1020
01:43:41,215 --> 01:43:45,677
How can you cheat people effectively if
you don't really enjoy cheating them?
1021
01:43:45,761 --> 01:43:48,680
I brought you up here tonight
to sell you a thousand shares...
1022
01:43:48,764 --> 01:43:50,765
in Greater Anaheim Power and Light.
1023
01:43:50,850 --> 01:43:52,517
Is it a good investment?
1024
01:43:52,602 --> 01:43:55,854
There is no Greater Anaheim Power and Light,
1025
01:43:55,938 --> 01:43:57,898
only the certificate I had printed.
1026
01:43:57,982 --> 01:44:01,818
I must say, I think you'd have admired the artwork.
Beautiful engraving.
1027
01:44:01,903 --> 01:44:03,528
I'd like to see it.
1028
01:44:05,489 --> 01:44:11,036
It's in my jacket. I took the jacket off.
I-It was needed elsewhere.
1029
01:44:11,120 --> 01:44:15,582
You see what I mean? I can't even
deliver a phony stock certificate.
1030
01:44:19,045 --> 01:44:23,673
- Did you hear what I said?
- Mm. Every word.
1031
01:44:23,758 --> 01:44:28,637
Well, then, tell me you're shocked.
Or at least disappointed!
1032
01:44:28,763 --> 01:44:31,473
- But I'm not.
- You must be!
1033
01:44:31,557 --> 01:44:34,768
Harlee, I'm not.
1034
01:44:39,190 --> 01:44:41,107
Okay.
1035
01:44:50,034 --> 01:44:52,577
I'll be right back.
1036
01:44:52,662 --> 01:44:55,789
Give me a few minutes with
Doug, will you, dear?
1037
01:44:55,873 --> 01:44:58,541
Sure.
1038
01:45:08,219 --> 01:45:11,388
Will Giddings is dead.
1039
01:45:12,723 --> 01:45:14,724
He died 20 minutes ago.
1040
01:45:18,938 --> 01:45:20,897
Oh, boy.
1041
01:45:24,068 --> 01:45:28,613
Oh, God, I wonder how many
more'll be dead by tomorrow?
1042
01:45:28,698 --> 01:45:30,615
I thought we were building
something that-
1043
01:45:30,700 --> 01:45:33,618
where people could work
and live and be safe!
1044
01:45:33,703 --> 01:45:38,248
If you had to cut costs, why didn't
you cut floors instead of corners?
1045
01:45:39,542 --> 01:45:41,543
Now, listen.
1046
01:45:41,627 --> 01:45:46,715
Any decisions that were made for the
use of alternate building materials...
1047
01:45:46,799 --> 01:45:51,011
were made because I, as a builder,
have a right to make those decisions-
1048
01:45:51,095 --> 01:45:54,014
If I remain within the building code.
And goddamn it, I did!
1049
01:45:54,098 --> 01:45:56,307
Building code. Jesus.
1050
01:45:56,392 --> 01:45:58,309
Oh, the building code. Come on, Dunc.
1051
01:45:58,394 --> 01:46:01,021
I mean, that's a standard
cop-out when you're in trouble.
1052
01:46:01,105 --> 01:46:03,481
I was crawlin' around up there.
1053
01:46:03,566 --> 01:46:06,192
I mean, duct holes weren't fire-stopped!
1054
01:46:06,277 --> 01:46:09,821
Corridors without fire doors,
and the sprinklers won't work.
1055
01:46:09,905 --> 01:46:12,824
And an electrical system
that's good for what?
1056
01:46:12,908 --> 01:46:16,077
I mean, it's good for startin' fires!
1057
01:46:16,162 --> 01:46:18,997
Hoo, boy. Where was I
when all this was goin' on?
1058
01:46:19,081 --> 01:46:22,792
'Cause I'm just as guilty as you and
that goddamn son-in-law of yours!
1059
01:46:24,045 --> 01:46:27,088
What do they call it when you kill people?
1060
01:46:38,017 --> 01:46:39,934
Come on! Move it!
1061
01:46:47,068 --> 01:46:48,943
- Okay.
- Who is it?
1062
01:46:49,070 --> 01:46:51,237
- Chief O'Hallorhan.
- What happened?
1063
01:46:51,322 --> 01:46:55,075
Part of the central core just blew.
Now, we've got in the fifth alarm.
1064
01:46:55,159 --> 01:46:57,577
The helicopters?
1065
01:46:57,661 --> 01:46:59,579
No, it's too windy. They can't set down.
1066
01:46:59,663 --> 01:47:02,582
We want to set the breeches buoy up
on the roof of the Peerless Building.
1067
01:47:02,708 --> 01:47:05,418
Well, what can we do to help?
1068
01:47:05,503 --> 01:47:08,713
Move all your combustible material
away from the window.
1069
01:47:10,049 --> 01:47:11,966
Okay. Gotcha.
1070
01:47:12,051 --> 01:47:14,094
Come on. Grab those tables and chairs.
1071
01:47:20,101 --> 01:47:23,353
Pile 'em up away from the walls!
1072
01:47:24,772 --> 01:47:28,441
There's nobody on those drapes.
Let's get on 'em now.
1073
01:47:28,526 --> 01:47:30,860
Jake, give me a hand!
1074
01:48:09,900 --> 01:48:14,028
- Did you reach her?
- The phones are all out.
1075
01:48:14,113 --> 01:48:17,198
Well, just a little while longer,
and we'll all be home together.
1076
01:48:18,534 --> 01:48:21,578
If only I could have talked to her.
1077
01:48:21,662 --> 01:48:23,872
Let her know we were thinking of her.
1078
01:48:25,958 --> 01:48:30,253
Told her how... how precious she is to us.
1079
01:48:33,757 --> 01:48:37,135
She's still such a child.
1080
01:48:37,219 --> 01:48:42,140
She doesn't even know where I keep
the key to the safety-deposit box.
1081
01:48:42,224 --> 01:48:44,559
How will she be able to get into it?
1082
01:48:46,562 --> 01:48:50,732
I mean, uh, if she should have to.
1083
01:48:54,820 --> 01:48:57,280
The things you think of.
1084
01:48:57,406 --> 01:49:00,283
Do you wanna help me?
Oh.
1085
01:49:07,458 --> 01:49:10,210
Here he is.
Chief, the wind velocity's down a little.
1086
01:49:10,294 --> 01:49:12,879
We're gonna try for a landing.
1087
01:49:12,963 --> 01:49:15,131
Gil, get Roberts.
1088
01:49:19,803 --> 01:49:20,803
Yeah.
1089
01:49:20,888 --> 01:49:23,848
Get 10 people up on the roof. Have the
rest of 'em stand by in groups of 10.
1090
01:49:23,933 --> 01:49:25,850
We're gonna start airlifting.
1091
01:49:25,935 --> 01:49:28,645
Will do.
1092
01:49:31,398 --> 01:49:33,858
Patty, put these over there
where they can get them easily.
1093
01:49:33,984 --> 01:49:36,569
- Carlos, give me that pad of paper and a pencil.
- Yes, sir.
1094
01:49:36,695 --> 01:49:38,655
- Give me that brandy snifter too.
- Right.
1095
01:49:38,781 --> 01:49:41,741
- Doug, are they going to land?
- They're gonna try.
1096
01:49:41,825 --> 01:49:44,786
Send the kids out first... and then the women.
1097
01:49:44,870 --> 01:49:46,871
Number this up to, I don't know, a hundred or so.
1098
01:49:46,997 --> 01:49:50,917
- High-rise roulette...
- High-rise roulette. That's right.
1099
01:49:51,001 --> 01:49:54,420
Doug, there may not be time to tell you later.
1100
01:49:54,505 --> 01:49:56,631
There will be.
1101
01:49:56,715 --> 01:50:00,385
I'll go tell everybody. Pass
those out when you're ready.
1102
01:50:27,746 --> 01:50:29,747
All right, there's gonna
be a lot of wind up there,
1103
01:50:29,832 --> 01:50:31,791
especially when that chopper lands.
1104
01:50:31,875 --> 01:50:34,377
So everybody stay in one group. Come on.
1105
01:50:49,101 --> 01:50:51,728
Stay back!
Stay back!
1106
01:50:57,192 --> 01:50:59,402
Look out!
1107
01:51:40,903 --> 01:51:42,820
I think so.
1108
01:51:42,905 --> 01:51:46,491
Roberts! Mr. Roberts! Chief
O'Hallorhan wants to speak to you.
1109
01:51:46,575 --> 01:51:49,660
All right, make way. Pardon me.
Comin' through! Comin' through!
1110
01:51:49,787 --> 01:51:52,246
Pardon me.
1111
01:51:56,126 --> 01:51:58,461
Here he is now.
1112
01:51:58,545 --> 01:52:00,463
Yeah?
1113
01:52:00,547 --> 01:52:03,966
Now look, Roberts, I know
those pilots are dead and-
1114
01:52:04,051 --> 01:52:06,469
God, it was just awful up there.
1115
01:52:06,553 --> 01:52:11,224
Listen, our best chance now
is the breeches buoy.
1116
01:52:11,308 --> 01:52:13,893
I've told my two firemen up there
to knock out a window.
1117
01:52:13,977 --> 01:52:16,145
We're gonna try to shoot a
line to you from a chopper.
1118
01:52:17,481 --> 01:52:19,482
Okay.
1119
01:52:23,821 --> 01:52:26,739
Hey, one of you guys got a pair of clippers?
1120
01:52:26,824 --> 01:52:28,950
Uh, yeah, sure. What do you want 'em for?
1121
01:52:29,034 --> 01:52:31,202
I wanna try somethin'.
1122
01:52:42,881 --> 01:52:45,842
Step way back. The firemen are
gonna knock out the windows.
1123
01:52:45,926 --> 01:52:47,844
Step back. You won't get hurt.
1124
01:54:40,207 --> 01:54:42,250
May I have your attention, please?
1125
01:54:43,752 --> 01:54:46,671
We've activated a gravity brake
on that outside elevator.
1126
01:54:46,755 --> 01:54:48,631
There's no power to bring it back up,
1127
01:54:48,757 --> 01:54:51,551
but at least we can get 12 people
down to the street. Which 12?
1128
01:54:51,635 --> 01:54:55,555
The same group that was up on the roof.
And two additions.
1129
01:54:55,639 --> 01:54:58,975
The woman who saved the
children's lives and a fireman.
1130
01:54:59,059 --> 01:55:00,643
I want a trained man in there.
1131
01:55:02,854 --> 01:55:05,690
All right, let's move it out!
1132
01:55:12,864 --> 01:55:15,741
- Marge!
- Here, take this.
1133
01:55:15,826 --> 01:55:17,743
Take it. You can get out of here.
Go on! Take it.
1134
01:55:17,828 --> 01:55:20,329
What are you doing?
1135
01:55:21,331 --> 01:55:23,249
I'm sorry.
1136
01:55:25,419 --> 01:55:28,588
Listen. I want you out of here.
1137
01:55:28,672 --> 01:55:32,174
So you can stop worrying about me? What
about me down there worrying about you?
1138
01:55:32,259 --> 01:55:34,176
It's the only way you can help me now, baby.
1139
01:55:34,261 --> 01:55:36,637
Help me.
1140
01:55:48,358 --> 01:55:52,194
If you ask me to go to the North Pole,
1141
01:55:52,279 --> 01:55:55,781
or even the cliffs of Mendocino, I'd go.
1142
01:55:55,866 --> 01:55:59,160
What if I ask you tomorrow?
1143
01:56:08,879 --> 01:56:10,880
Please.
1144
01:56:13,925 --> 01:56:16,469
- Ma'am, I'll take her.
- Thank you.
1145
01:56:16,595 --> 01:56:18,554
- Come on, Phillip.
- All right.
1146
01:56:19,973 --> 01:56:23,559
Hey. I'll never let you go
anywhere without me again.
1147
01:56:23,644 --> 01:56:26,771
I don't want to, ever again.
1148
01:56:30,734 --> 01:56:33,110
- I'll meet you in the lobby.
- I'll be waiting.
1149
01:56:33,195 --> 01:56:35,071
Uh, we're still a lady short.
1150
01:56:35,197 --> 01:56:37,990
- You've gotta go.
- But I don't want to leave you.
1151
01:56:38,075 --> 01:56:40,910
Honey, I'll make it. I promise you.
1152
01:56:40,994 --> 01:56:43,746
Have I ever broken a promise to you?
1153
01:56:46,583 --> 01:56:49,043
Good luck, honey.
1154
01:56:49,127 --> 01:56:51,170
Please.
1155
01:56:52,464 --> 01:56:54,423
All set, everyone?
1156
01:57:02,391 --> 01:57:05,142
Okay, here we go.
1157
01:58:46,495 --> 01:58:48,579
Hey, out of sight!
1158
01:58:50,499 --> 01:58:52,500
It's coming!
1159
01:58:52,584 --> 01:58:56,545
All right, let's untie this! Take it all!
Pull in the rest of the line!
1160
01:59:12,354 --> 01:59:14,271
All right, hold it. Hold it right there!
1161
01:59:14,356 --> 01:59:16,440
Bring me in another 20 feet
on that main line!
1162
01:59:16,525 --> 01:59:18,859
Hey, come here!
Tie this off, will you? All right.
1163
01:59:18,944 --> 01:59:20,903
That's right. There you go!
1164
01:59:26,576 --> 01:59:28,536
That's it.
1165
01:59:29,746 --> 01:59:32,665
All right, bring in a little more. That's it.
1166
01:59:32,749 --> 01:59:34,667
Hold it now!
Brace yourselves.
1167
01:59:41,341 --> 01:59:43,259
Watch your heads!
1168
01:59:46,888 --> 01:59:50,224
Grab it! Grab it!
Take it back and secure it!
1169
01:59:52,102 --> 01:59:55,396
Okay! All right.
Let it go! Let it go!
1170
01:59:55,480 --> 01:59:58,399
All right. Go on! Take it all!
1171
02:00:01,444 --> 02:00:04,446
Pull. Come on. Pull.
1172
02:00:10,787 --> 02:00:12,746
Okay, take up on it!
1173
02:00:21,381 --> 02:00:23,257
Make that line! Fast!
1174
02:00:23,383 --> 02:00:26,176
How about the main line? Secured? Okay.
1175
02:00:26,261 --> 02:00:28,178
Good!
1176
02:01:17,520 --> 02:01:22,566
- Chief!
- Jonathan.
1177
02:01:22,651 --> 02:01:24,568
Explosion above 110.
1178
02:01:24,653 --> 02:01:26,570
Blew the scenic elevator right off its track.
1179
02:01:26,655 --> 02:01:29,114
It's hanging by a cable.
1180
02:01:29,199 --> 02:01:32,743
How many people in it?
1181
02:01:32,827 --> 02:01:36,246
Loaded. I'd say about 12.
1182
02:01:41,962 --> 02:01:45,214
What are you gonna do?
1183
02:01:50,220 --> 02:01:52,137
Flaker.
1184
02:01:52,222 --> 02:01:55,182
- Flaker?
- Sir?
1185
02:01:56,685 --> 02:01:59,812
Can you give me a chopper
with a winch and some cable?
1186
02:01:59,896 --> 02:02:02,439
Have 'em pick me up on the
roof of the Peerless Building.
1187
02:02:02,565 --> 02:02:04,733
- We got it.
- Yeah.
1188
02:02:07,904 --> 02:02:10,781
Try and get a hitch on that elevator,
1189
02:02:10,865 --> 02:02:13,200
drop it down to the deck by the chopper.
1190
02:02:22,419 --> 02:02:24,336
Mommy, Mommy!
1191
02:02:24,421 --> 02:02:30,426
It's all right. It's okay. I won't
let anything happen. I promise.
1192
02:02:34,305 --> 02:02:37,850
I won't cry if you won't cry. Oh.
1193
02:02:41,855 --> 02:02:43,772
It's all right.
1194
02:03:00,040 --> 02:03:02,875
Yeah, take it up the ladder there.
1195
02:03:05,462 --> 02:03:07,421
Okay, get it over.
1196
02:03:09,674 --> 02:03:12,217
Come on. Come on.
Get it up here.
1197
02:03:25,565 --> 02:03:27,691
Okay!
1198
02:03:27,776 --> 02:03:29,443
Okay, let it go!
1199
02:03:31,988 --> 02:03:33,947
Look out below!
1200
02:03:38,453 --> 02:03:41,246
Come on!
1201
02:03:41,331 --> 02:03:45,209
Hey, make that chair fast!
1202
02:03:52,258 --> 02:03:56,512
All right! Pull it right in there!
Come on! Pull it in!
1203
02:04:05,897 --> 02:04:08,857
All right! Let's haul that chair in!
1204
02:04:08,942 --> 02:04:11,026
Come on!
All of us!
1205
02:04:12,862 --> 02:04:14,863
That's it!
1206
02:04:19,536 --> 02:04:22,121
All right!
Keep it goin'!
1207
02:04:22,205 --> 02:04:24,748
All right!
Hold it right there!
1208
02:04:24,833 --> 02:04:28,377
- Who's next in order?
- I am. I am!
1209
02:04:28,461 --> 02:04:31,088
- Come ahead.
- I can't do that.
1210
02:04:31,172 --> 02:04:33,090
Yes, you can.
1211
02:04:36,302 --> 02:04:38,804
I'll fall!
I can't! I can't!
1212
02:04:38,888 --> 02:04:40,806
Yes, you can. Yes, you can.
1213
02:04:40,890 --> 02:04:44,268
Oh, God. Don't let go of me. Don't let go of me!
Don't let me fall!
1214
02:04:46,729 --> 02:04:49,273
Don't let go! Ah!
1215
02:04:49,357 --> 02:04:54,611
Don't-Don't let go of me!
Oh, oh!
1216
02:04:56,406 --> 02:04:59,908
All right!
Oh!
1217
02:05:01,536 --> 02:05:04,872
Oh! Oh! Oh!
1218
02:05:04,956 --> 02:05:08,792
Oh!
1219
02:05:10,503 --> 02:05:13,422
Oh! Oh! God!
1220
02:05:17,969 --> 02:05:20,345
Okay. Here she comes!
1221
02:05:20,430 --> 02:05:23,849
All right! Pull that chair in!
Easy! Easy!
1222
02:05:27,520 --> 02:05:29,521
Hold it right there.
1223
02:05:39,324 --> 02:05:41,617
Okay, lower the cable!
1224
02:05:46,456 --> 02:05:48,957
Grab that hook!
Steady it.
1225
02:05:51,419 --> 02:05:53,670
Hook on the torch.
1226
02:05:53,755 --> 02:05:55,672
Lash it tight.
1227
02:06:00,637 --> 02:06:04,514
- This is O'Hallorhan.
- We read you, Chief.
1228
02:06:04,599 --> 02:06:10,229
I want you to pick me up with the hook
and set me down on the scenic elevator.
1229
02:06:10,313 --> 02:06:12,231
Then you're gonna pick up the scenic elevator...
1230
02:06:12,315 --> 02:06:15,692
and very gently set it down on the street.
1231
02:06:15,777 --> 02:06:17,694
Can you handle the weight?
1232
02:06:17,779 --> 02:06:20,739
I think we can handle it.
We'll find out in a hurry.
1233
02:06:20,823 --> 02:06:22,991
Okay.
1234
02:06:41,678 --> 02:06:43,762
Watch it.
1235
02:06:43,846 --> 02:06:48,850
Okay, take it away!
1236
02:07:19,382 --> 02:07:21,383
How much time do we have?
1237
02:07:23,886 --> 02:07:25,846
Bob, I wish I knew.
1238
02:07:25,930 --> 02:07:28,557
Goddamn it, Jim, you built the place!
1239
02:07:34,731 --> 02:07:37,899
I just don't think that all
of us are gonna make it.
1240
02:08:35,533 --> 02:08:38,326
Well, I guess I'm next.
1241
02:08:38,411 --> 02:08:40,537
Don't suppose you'll let me stay.
1242
02:08:44,500 --> 02:08:46,501
Come on. I'll see you soon.
1243
02:08:54,677 --> 02:08:56,845
I love you.
1244
02:09:00,558 --> 02:09:02,726
Let it go!
1245
02:09:59,408 --> 02:10:02,035
- Think this'll hold it?
- It better.
1246
02:10:02,119 --> 02:10:04,412
We're gonna have to cut the elevator cable.
1247
02:10:12,463 --> 02:10:14,339
What's your number?
1248
02:10:14,465 --> 02:10:16,424
- 68.
- 47.
1249
02:11:20,614 --> 02:11:24,659
Oh! Oh!
Oh, my God!
1250
02:11:31,125 --> 02:11:33,418
Oh!
1251
02:11:36,130 --> 02:11:38,298
Oh! Oh, no!
1252
02:12:44,990 --> 02:12:46,991
That was close.
1253
02:12:57,878 --> 02:12:59,838
Oh!
1254
02:13:04,301 --> 02:13:07,720
Mrs. Ramsay, you'll be-
you'll be all right now.
1255
02:13:07,847 --> 02:13:09,722
- Please.
- You'll be all right.
1256
02:13:09,849 --> 02:13:11,769
Please, tell my husband
I'll be all right. I will.
1257
02:13:11,851 --> 02:13:13,768
You tell him I'll be all right.
I-I... I will.
1258
02:13:13,853 --> 02:13:16,479
I'll be able to see him at home later.
1259
02:13:16,564 --> 02:13:18,523
I will. I will. I promise.
1260
02:13:18,649 --> 02:13:21,276
Let's go.
1261
02:13:27,533 --> 02:13:31,494
Here she is!
She's all right!
1262
02:13:33,372 --> 02:13:35,290
Watch the ladder!
1263
02:13:41,380 --> 02:13:44,674
Let's go! Bring everything.
We're gonna need it!
1264
02:14:20,669 --> 02:14:24,339
- Hey, Mike, deputy wants to see you.
- Okay.
1265
02:14:36,226 --> 02:14:39,520
Yeah, Mike, look, we've been checking
the situation up in the Promenade Room.
1266
02:14:39,605 --> 02:14:43,483
And we figure they've got only about
17, maybe 18, minutes left, if that.
1267
02:14:43,567 --> 02:14:46,694
It'll take more than three hours to
get 'em all down by breeches buoy.
1268
02:14:46,779 --> 02:14:49,197
Those people are gonna die up
there if something's not done.
1269
02:14:49,281 --> 02:14:51,199
Now, we might just have the answer.
1270
02:14:51,283 --> 02:14:55,286
Mr. Johnson's a structural engineer.
You tell the chief your calculations.
1271
02:14:55,371 --> 02:14:58,623
The structural strength of the joists and
risers up there in the Promenade Room,
1272
02:14:58,707 --> 02:15:01,209
in my opinion, could definitely
withstand the explosion.
1273
02:15:02,878 --> 02:15:04,837
What explosion?
1274
02:15:07,174 --> 02:15:10,218
- Chief, we've got the copter ready out on the plaza.
- Fireman, wait a minute.
1275
02:15:10,302 --> 02:15:12,345
Look, we'll handle that. Just get back to your job.
1276
02:15:15,307 --> 02:15:17,225
Yes, sir.
1277
02:15:19,144 --> 02:15:21,312
What explosion?
1278
02:15:21,397 --> 02:15:23,637
We can blow the tanks two floors
above the Promenade Room.
1279
02:15:23,691 --> 02:15:25,775
They hold a million gallons of water.
1280
02:15:25,859 --> 02:15:27,902
That's more than enough
to drown the fire.
1281
02:15:30,656 --> 02:15:33,241
- You're crazy.
- Mike, it's the only way.
1282
02:15:33,325 --> 02:15:37,203
Well, how do you know it'll work?
You could kill everybody up there.
1283
02:15:37,287 --> 02:15:38,788
I don't think so.
1284
02:15:40,374 --> 02:15:42,542
- You don't think?
- When you take into account...
1285
02:15:42,626 --> 02:15:45,461
the stress and load factors, the building design...
1286
02:15:45,546 --> 02:15:49,132
Wait a minute. Hold it. Mike, look,
we've already made the decision.
1287
02:15:49,216 --> 02:15:53,469
Now, someone has got to go up there,
rig the charges and blow 'em.
1288
02:15:53,554 --> 02:15:56,597
Now, there's only two people in the
department qualified for that.
1289
02:15:56,682 --> 02:16:00,184
That's you and Connors. They just...
They just brought Connors down.
1290
02:16:00,269 --> 02:16:02,562
He's on his way to the burn center.
1291
02:16:04,189 --> 02:16:07,108
Look, under the circumstances, we
can't order you to go up there.
1292
02:16:08,110 --> 02:16:11,029
I'm just layin' it out for you.
1293
02:16:11,113 --> 02:16:15,616
But you... You see how it is, don't you?
1294
02:16:19,621 --> 02:16:21,581
How do I get back down?
1295
02:16:27,963 --> 02:16:30,006
Oh, shit!
1296
02:16:31,008 --> 02:16:32,967
Huh.
1297
02:16:55,866 --> 02:16:57,825
The women are gone.
1298
02:16:59,369 --> 02:17:01,662
We are going next.
1299
02:17:13,425 --> 02:17:17,637
You've all got numbers,
and you're gonna take your turn!
1300
02:17:17,721 --> 02:17:20,473
And if it's any consolation,
1301
02:17:23,685 --> 02:17:27,522
I'm going to be the last one outta
here along with my son-in-law.
1302
02:17:35,739 --> 02:17:38,032
Roberts.
1303
02:17:38,117 --> 02:17:41,160
It's outta control.
And it's comin' your way.
1304
02:17:43,872 --> 02:17:47,917
You got about 15 minutes.
1305
02:17:48,001 --> 02:17:52,630
They wanna try somethin'. They wanna blow
those water tanks two floors above you.
1306
02:17:52,714 --> 02:17:54,674
They think it might kill the fire.
1307
02:18:02,057 --> 02:18:04,392
How they gonna get the explosives up here?
1308
02:18:06,395 --> 02:18:09,397
Oh, they'll find some dumb son
of a bitch to bring it up.
1309
02:18:16,321 --> 02:18:20,408
Hang on, I'll tell 'em.
1310
02:18:24,037 --> 02:18:27,540
They wanna try to put out the fire by
blowing up the water tanks above us.
1311
02:18:27,624 --> 02:18:31,335
It's gonna mean a lot of water and steel
and concrete, but if they don't try it...
1312
02:18:31,420 --> 02:18:33,337
we're all gonna burn.
1313
02:18:33,422 --> 02:18:37,758
The fire's out of control below us.
They figure we got maybe 15 minutes.
1314
02:18:37,843 --> 02:18:41,804
This way some of us might survive.
We got no options.
1315
02:18:48,395 --> 02:18:51,439
Come on. Let's go.
1316
02:18:54,276 --> 02:18:56,235
Get that line!
1317
02:19:04,953 --> 02:19:07,538
- Get off!
- You crazy bastard!
1318
02:19:07,623 --> 02:19:09,498
Get off this line!
1319
02:19:09,625 --> 02:19:11,542
- Let go of me!
- It's not gonna work!
1320
02:19:11,627 --> 02:19:13,794
Oh!
1321
02:19:13,879 --> 02:19:15,796
It won't hold everybody!
1322
02:19:16,882 --> 02:19:19,675
- You!
- Get off!
1323
02:19:21,637 --> 02:19:24,263
- Get outta there! Get the hell outta there!
- No!
1324
02:19:28,143 --> 02:19:30,895
No! No!
1325
02:19:30,979 --> 02:19:33,856
Get off!
1326
02:19:44,576 --> 02:19:46,827
Chief.
1327
02:19:47,829 --> 02:19:49,747
Yeah.
1328
02:19:49,831 --> 02:19:52,208
Well, we just lost the breeches buoy.
1329
02:19:52,292 --> 02:19:54,835
There was panic up here.
It's under control now.
1330
02:19:56,463 --> 02:19:58,464
Okay. I'm gonna try to
set down on the roof.
1331
02:19:58,548 --> 02:20:00,508
I'm gonna need you up there.
1332
02:20:02,177 --> 02:20:04,971
Well, I know where to place the
charges, but I don't know how.
1333
02:20:05,055 --> 02:20:07,640
I know how.
1334
02:20:09,851 --> 02:20:12,895
Okay. See you up there.
1335
02:20:20,570 --> 02:20:24,031
All right! You're gonna have
to tie yourselves down.
1336
02:20:24,116 --> 02:20:26,701
Ropes, tablecloths, belts,
anything you can find.
1337
02:20:26,827 --> 02:20:30,037
Carlos, get some knives.
1338
02:20:38,547 --> 02:20:42,008
For God's sakes, Carlos, don't tie
yourself up to a lot of glass!
1339
02:20:42,092 --> 02:20:44,051
That's the '29!
1340
02:20:53,979 --> 02:20:56,105
Comin' through.
Comin' through.
1341
02:20:56,189 --> 02:20:58,107
Come on.
1342
02:21:26,553 --> 02:21:28,471
Try it.
1343
02:21:30,432 --> 02:21:32,350
It's okay.
1344
02:21:37,564 --> 02:21:42,860
Doug, I... never thought that a
thing like this could happen.
1345
02:21:42,944 --> 02:21:44,945
Sure.
1346
02:24:12,469 --> 02:24:15,888
Hey, how much time you think we got?
1347
02:24:15,972 --> 02:24:17,932
Ten minutes, maybe less.
1348
02:24:18,016 --> 02:24:22,853
We're gonna have to blow the floors
out as well as the tanks, you know.
1349
02:24:22,938 --> 02:24:25,356
All right, this is your detonator.
1350
02:24:25,440 --> 02:24:27,733
You're running instantaneous.
I'm running delayed.
1351
02:24:27,817 --> 02:24:31,070
Here you go.
This is your explosive.
1352
02:24:31,154 --> 02:24:34,073
This is the timer. Now later
on, after you throw the wire,
1353
02:24:34,157 --> 02:24:36,075
we'll plug it and splice it
into the timer,
1354
02:24:36,159 --> 02:24:38,369
set it, and then it blows.
1355
02:24:41,665 --> 02:24:44,875
You set your explosive...
like this.
1356
02:24:49,673 --> 02:24:53,217
Take your detonator, pull the plug.
1357
02:24:54,636 --> 02:24:56,637
Toss it.
1358
02:24:59,891 --> 02:25:02,393
- Got it?
- I got it.
1359
02:26:16,384 --> 02:26:18,510
- Good luck. See you later.
- Okay, thanks.
1360
02:27:02,138 --> 02:27:04,098
Here you go.
1361
02:27:23,493 --> 02:27:25,411
How much you gonna set it for?
1362
02:27:25,495 --> 02:27:28,288
Five.
1363
02:27:30,208 --> 02:27:32,751
I think we can make that.
1364
02:27:35,380 --> 02:27:37,423
That's it.
1365
02:28:12,500 --> 02:28:14,501
Tie yourselves down, goddamn it!
1366
02:28:29,559 --> 02:28:33,937
You'll never make it through there.
How much time?
1367
02:28:34,022 --> 02:28:36,523
- Three and a half.
- Air.
1368
02:28:39,319 --> 02:28:41,779
Here.
1369
02:29:20,735 --> 02:29:22,736
I'm burning up!
1370
02:29:31,412 --> 02:29:33,413
Let's go.
1371
02:29:39,170 --> 02:29:41,088
Fireman.
1372
02:33:22,143 --> 02:33:25,145
Bob! Bob!
1373
02:33:26,564 --> 02:33:29,441
Oh, my God!
1374
02:37:19,171 --> 02:37:21,089
Excuse me.
1375
02:37:21,173 --> 02:37:24,426
She was in the elevator with you. The
fine-looking lady. Mrs. Mueller.
1376
02:37:24,510 --> 02:37:26,428
Have you seen her?
1377
02:37:28,889 --> 02:37:31,182
I'm sorry. She's dead.
1378
02:37:41,152 --> 02:37:44,696
Lisa! Lisa!
1379
02:37:45,698 --> 02:37:47,699
- Lisa!
- Claiborne!
1380
02:37:47,783 --> 02:37:49,743
What?
1381
02:38:41,128 --> 02:38:43,296
I didn't want you to see him.
1382
02:38:45,966 --> 02:38:51,137
You know there's nothing that any of
us can do to bring back the dead.
1383
02:38:59,772 --> 02:39:02,982
All I can do now is pray to God that...
1384
02:39:04,985 --> 02:39:08,530
I can stop this from ever happening again.
1385
02:39:47,486 --> 02:39:49,404
I don't know.
1386
02:39:49,488 --> 02:39:52,449
Maybe they just ought to
leave it the way it is.
1387
02:39:52,533 --> 02:39:55,702
A kind of shrine to all the
bullshit in the world.
1388
02:40:05,045 --> 02:40:06,963
You know, we were lucky tonight.
1389
02:40:07,047 --> 02:40:09,132
Body count's less than 200.
1390
02:40:09,216 --> 02:40:14,637
You know, one of these days, they're gonna
kill 10,000 in one of these firetraps.
1391
02:40:14,722 --> 02:40:18,391
And I'm gonna keep eatin' smoke
and bringin' out bodies...
1392
02:40:18,476 --> 02:40:23,938
until somebody asks us how to build 'em.
1393
02:40:35,743 --> 02:40:38,953
Okay. I'm askin'.
1394
02:40:40,456 --> 02:40:42,790
You know where to reach me.
1395
02:40:44,001 --> 02:40:47,045
So long, architect.
