That looks a little like Daddy.

...a man was seen on the ledge of a ninth-floor...

It does!

The identity of the man is not yet known.

The police have arrived and the fire department

suicide team, plus a substantial crowd.

All of us waiting here,

in the small courtyard below...

...are very unclear as to

what the man's motives are.

He appears relaxed.

In fact, he's seated on a small window sill,

smoking a cigarette.

But he looks disturbed by all the attention...

...as he hides his face

and waves the crowd away.

The police are trying to control the crowd...

...who are now calling for the man to jump.

The question being asked here today...

...is whether this man

does or does not want to commit suicide.

Teddy!

Two, three.

It'll be all right!

We'll catch you!

Dive!

- Baby!

- That's so good.

Yes!

What the hell am I doing?

I have a wonderful wife!

Jump!

I could have thrown my whole life away.

And for what?

A piece of ass.

What's that girl doing?

What is she doing, taking more pictures?

No, give me a break!

She is cute, though.

Look at those legs!

Hey, come on, now, stop it. None of that stuff.

I made a mistake, I learned my lesson...

...and I will never do it again.
