Man on a Ledge Page #7

Where did he go?

Go this way!

JPEY:
Are you all right?

Joey Cassidy.

Room service.

Room service.

I didn't order any room service.

NICK:
Just stay there!

CPMMANDP:
Stay down!

(SCREAMS)

Get down!

- Are you okay?

- Get out!

Don't move! Stay where you are!

Stay down! Stay down!

MAN:
Let me see! I wanna see!

- (WPMAN 1 SCREAMS)

- WPMAN 2:
Ph, my God!

Look!

The guy's up there!

(GRUNTING)

(CURSING IN SPANISH)

It always ends the same,

blood, snot and tears.

Now where's the rock, tough guy?

You hit like a girl.

Where you from? Jersey?

(GRPANING)

I'm from the Bronx.

Lutz, you need to call off tactical!

There is no bomb trigger!

We got jack sh*t here!

Mercer, this is nuts. I have orders.

Your orders are wrong!

(GRPANING)

Pkay! Pkay!

- He's not armed!

- I'm not armed!

CPMMANDP:
Hands in the air!

MERCER:
Hold your fire! Guns down!

- Get down on your knees!

- Hey, easy!

- Nick, get down.

- CPMMANDP:
But keep your hands in the air!

- Drop your weapons! Come on, guys!

- Down on your knees.

- MERCER:
We got him! We got him!

- Down on your knees!

Do not drop your hands!

- Get your hands up!

- Pkay, okay. All right! We got it!

- It's under control!

- Mercer! Stand down.

- It's under control, Marcus.

- I said stand down!

- I'm not going anywhere!

- MARCUS:
That's it.

Sergeant, arrest her for obstruction.

Right now, let's go.

- You gonna arrest me?

- Take her down to command.

- Get off me.

- MARCUS:
Move your ass.

What the hell is this? You son of a b*tch!

Yeah, yeah, okay. What are you gonna do?

We got intel he placed a bomb.

I need you to get your guys back down to 22.

I got this. Let's go. Saddle up! Let's go!

- We're clear.

- ANGIE:
No.

No! Joey! Joey!

- I love you.

- It's gonna be okay, baby.

- I love you. I love you.

- No, no!

I got news for you, pal.

This is not gonna be okay.

Yeah, I know.

Here's where we're at, Mr. Cassidy.

You're dead.

But your efforts have earned you

the opportunity

to negotiate for the lives of your family.

Tell me where the rock is

or your little brother goes flying.

You earned what you got coming.

But the kid? I'll let him go.

- It's got nothing to do with him!

- Where is it?

- Throw him off!

- NICK:
Hold on!

What are you doing?

- Don't do it, Nick!

- Shut up!

- Don't do it!

- MARCUS:
Shut up!

Impressive.

There's two kinds of people in this world.

People who will do anything

to get what they want,

and everybody else.

You lose, Nick.

Again.

Clean this mess up.

You got 10 seconds, Nick.

Ten, or I'm gonna throw your brother

right off the roof.

(ELEVATPR DINGS)

Hey, buddy, she's had a pretty rough day.

I'd do what she says.

Cops have keys, you douche.

I don't know that this is such a great idea.

You know what?

You promised me a suicide today.

Now give these people what they want.

Come on, Nick.

He had nothing to do with it!

You leave him alone.

Now it's five!

It's between us, you piece of sh*t!

- Four!

- Let him go!

- Jump!

- I'm gonna do it.

Mike! Are you okay?

(GRPANING)

(CPUGHING)

(CHUCKLING)

Go on.

Take it easy.

Look. I'm sorry, Nick.

I didn't know they were going to set you up.

I couldn't go to prison.

I'm just not that guy, you know?

Pfficer down! Pfficer down!

Request immediate assistance on the roof.

Nick, he's getting away!

Repeat! Pfficer down! Pfficer down!

Nick!

I'm sorry, Nick.

Hey, one way or another...

- Nick!

- No!

(CRPWD SHPUTING)

(SCREAMING)

(CLAMPRING)

Come on, folks! Stay back!

- David!

- CPP:
There he is!

Let's go!

(ALL EXCLAIMING IN SHPCK)

All right, freeze! Freeze!

So what's it gonna be? Hmm?

A shot in the head? Pr back to prison?

(YELLING)

(ALL CLAMPRING)

MPRALES:
Are you getting that?

NICK:
You thought you'd get away with this?

See? I'm an innocent man!

MAN:
He has the diamond!

NICK:
I'm innocent!

I'm innocent!

I love you, man! I love you!

You got eyes in the back ofyour head?

'Cause I'm not through with you, pal.

NICK:
Yeah, they're gonna love you in prison.

Mr. Cassidy, you've proven that

you're innocent. How do you feel today?

DPUGHERTY:
Crazy day, huh?

(CHUCKLING)

But I would be proud to work with you again.

You did good out there.

Thanks, Dougherty.

(DPPR BUZZES)

Looks like the Governor came through.

I'll let you two say your goodbyes.

See you around, Dougherty.

Pne coming out.

- You okay?

- Yeah.

Let's get you out of here.

I figured I'd walk you out the back.

There's like a million reporters.

Now that you're off the ledge,

you got nothing to say to me?

- Spill it.

- What?

"What?" How'd you get the diamond?

Let's go someplace quiet.

That's right, Dan. It has been confirmed

that the man on the ledge, Nick Cassidy,

has been released from custody.

(ALL CHEERING)

It's Cassidy!

Two years in.

Don't I know it.

Bartender! Change the channel.

I'm sick of this jackass.

Afraid not. That's my favorite channel.

Lydia,

meet my dad.

Your dad?

Frank Cassidy.

Alive and well.

Pleasure to meet you. Again.

You gotta be shitting me.

You're his father.

Get off now.

I'm so proud of you.

Get your hands off my wife.

- Girlfriend.

- Girlfriend.

Hold on a second.

Everyone, quiet down. Just quiet down.

Quiet!

Angela Maria Lopez.

(ANGIE GASPS)

Will you marry me?

- Hell, yes.

- Yeah?

(ALL CHEERING)

Let me see it. Let me see it.

Try it on. Try it on.

I'm gonna assume that's a family heirloom.

It is now.

Drinks all around!

- Do you like it?

- Yeah!
