OLEG:

A film...by Oleg Razgul.

And Oleg dies but suddenly his eyes pop WIDE OPEN. Hawkins

jumps back, Oleg smiles, coughing in pain.

OLEG (CONT'D)

How was that?

Oleg's head rolls to one side. Now dead. Nicolette runs

over to Jordy. Composing herself. Coming together. Glad

Emil is dead. Jordy starts to walk away.

NICOLETTE:

Wait a minute. Where are you going?

Learn from Eddie. Talk to the court of

public opinion. Take the credit, you

need it.

She turns him around. Straightens his tie. Starts to push

the hair out of his face but he stops her hand.

JORDY:

No thanks.

Jordy puts something in her hand. She looks down. It's

EDDIE'S BADGE. The one Jordy took out of Daphne's bathroom.

She looks up at him. Her cameraman rolling. The lens

pointed at Jordy. Jordy looks at Nicolette. Meets her eyes.

He doesn't want to make a statement. He still doesn't want

the fame. He did learn from Eddie. Eddie was killed because

he was a celebrity. Jordy wants no part of it.

NICOLETTE:

Cut.

Her cameraman lowers his leans. Jordy smiles. She nods.

Jordy turns and walks away.

NICOLETTE (CONT'D)

Get a shot of him leaving. Then pan to

me.

Jordy disappears into the sea of people. The camera PANS

back to Nicolette.

NICOLETTE (CONT'D)

Well, he wouldn't talk to us, but you

saw it.

The CAMERA PULLS BACK from Nicolette's face and the video is

now on:

THE JUMBOTRON IN TIMES SQUARE

We PULL BACK FURTHER and FURTHER. Nicolette finishing her

stand up:

NICOLETTE (CONT'D)

New York City has a new hero, Fire

Marshal Jordan Warsaw. I hope that Fire

Marshal Warsaw's heroic actions this

afternoon will help with his other legal

problems. WB11 has also learned that

the fire Marshal has retained an

immigration lawyer to help Daphne

Handlova with her case. We wish her

well. This is Nicolette Karas, live at

Battery Park, WB11 New York. Good

night.
