Good morning, it's wake -up time in the
city of Chicago, and here's what's

happening in your town today.

Life doesn't always come with a set of
instructions.

In fact, most of the time, it just
comes.

Every morning, like clockwork, it's
there when you open your eyes.

And it's still there, even when you
don't.

Take my friend Gary, a regular guy.

At least he was.

Until the day light showed up at his
door.

Insane.

Now he spends half his time figuring out
where the heck it all came from.

And the other half wondering where it
all goes.

Face it. It's not necessarily all it's
cracked up to be.

Having to jump on the rest of the world.

Bill, you go with what you got.

And when what you got is tomorrow's
news, well, it's got to be one of two

things. Either you're a day ahead, or
everyone else is a day behind.

It's going to explode.

Boom. Go boom.

Your kitchen.

The restaurant is going to go boom. Go
boom.

Boom. Go boom. Go boom.

Go boom.

Speak English.

English. English. The restaurant is
going to explode. Go boom. You speak

English. Go boom.

I'm trying to tell you. The restaurant
is going to explode very soon. Go boom.

It says right here.

Go boom. No, no, no. This one.

Go. Go.

What's that?

bipartisan support if Congress continues
to stonewall the bill.

But at home, still no word on the
disappearance of labor leader Red

who's heading his union's reform
movement in the upcoming election.

Cooper, well known for his... I'm going
to check the Volvo on Grand Street

trying to find him. Say something.

No.

Hey, man.

How you doing?

Smells like a Chinese restaurant.

Mugu Gai Pan, my favorite.

The paper said Wu Ling's kitchen was
going to explode.

Dan?

Wooling's kitchen exploded.

I'm going crazy.

Why the hell is this thing coming to me?
Oh, here we go again.

I don't know.

When this thing started coming, my life
was fine.

Come on, he's a traitor.

Wonderful home, beautiful wife.

Everything's good. You got fired and
your wife left you.

Uh -huh.

Sorry, I didn't mean to. Go ahead.

I gotta get to the bottom of this.

I can't live my life like this.

Is that the book Marshall gave you?

What?

Yeah.

I'll show you something.

Nice picture.

Typesetter, 1946, Chicago Phoenix. The
cat.

What about it?

Did that happen to look like any cat we
know?

Yeah, come on. No, no, no, no.

If that's the same cat, then I figure
all I gotta do is find out about this

Good idea. That guy's probably been dead
for years. And besides, Chicago Phoenix

hasn't been around in years.

My old man used to read it every morning
until the sun ate it up.

Ate it up?

Yeah, it emerged.

You see, there was the old Trib and the
Times, and the Times teamed up with the

Sun back in 49.

Really? That's fascinating. Could you
get me a crowning, please? No, no, no.

Wait, wait. You're saying that the
Phoenix and the Sun -Times... It's the

paper.

I've got to check this out.

Watch it. Sorry.

Well, I'm old -fashioned. Even if this
guy does talk to you... He will talk to

me, Harry. Even if he does. I don't like
anonymous sources. It sounds like we're

making it up. You're taking a big chance
just by talking to me. You could end up

in a trunk like Red Cooper. I don't buy
that. The unions aren't like that

anymore. Somebody forgot to tell these
guys that.

Yeah, well, you better be careful,
sister.

Harry, I'm on the left quarter.

Tell the boys to be careful.

When they're on a murder case, I do,
yes, okay?

You're taking that stuff without water.
You're going to end up with no stomach.

Harry, I'm not doing that.

Who said I had any stomach left?

Mr. Hawk, Gary Hobbs, have we had an
appointment?

I can come back later.

We're done, actually.

Meet Meredith Carson.

Oh, how do you do? I've read your stuff.

See that, Harry? Who says the public
doesn't read violence? I've seen you on

too, those talk shows.

Yeah, I've done one or two. The Chicago
Week in Review.

Actually, no, that's Rebecca from the
trip.

I guess you overplayed your hand, sport,
huh?

Huh?

What can I do for you?

Oh, uh, I'm a historian with... Well, we
spoke on the phone, and I was wondering

if I could get a look at the archives.

Oh, the archives, yeah.

Molly, who's the name of that guy that
sits on the archives all day?

It's all down in the basement.

Better let me show you.

I've been in charge of the archives 25
years this December.

Well, I appreciate you showing me
around. Miss Carson?

I'm sorry if I said anything that was
out of line.

I don't remember what you said.

Well, I do read your work, though. I saw
your story this morning about finding

Cooper. That's great stuff.

Green Volvo and Jersey plates. It's
really good.

Thanks.

The archives.

Oh, shit.

Everything before 1955 would be along
the wall here.

What about the Chicago Phoenix? Would
those records be down here, too?

Right this way.

Chicago Phoenix.

My, my.

Were you here back then, Mr. Morris?

Sure was.

Do you mind if I show you something?

Do you know that man?

Hmm.

Let's see.

Nope. Don't believe so.

Sorry.

That's all right. Been so long, you
know.

Yes, sir. I imagine there were a lot of
typesetters.

No, there wasn't a few. What about this
cat?

Cat?

No, Lucious Snow.

That's the fella's name.

No? Kept to himself, but everybody knew
that cat.

No old cat we called him.

So you knew Mr. Snow?

Strange thing about old Snow now that I
think about it.

But, nah, probably just slow talk.

No, no, no, no, please.

Well, they say he set the Truman
headline a whole day before anybody else

And V .E. Day, he had all the time all
set before it happened.

Kind of a legend that way, you know what
I'm saying?

Imagine that.

Mr. Hobson, who are you?

Excuse me?

Who are you, and how did you know about
those dirty plates?

Oh, well, I told you I read about that
in the paper this morning. Volvo, yes,

Jersey plate snow. I'm just writing
about it now. It won't come out till

tomorrow.

And the police aren't talking, so the
only way you could have that information

is if you were involved.

Involved? In the killing of Fred Cooper.

Oh, no, no, wait a second. I don't think
you kids have a lot to talk about, so

I'll... Oh, no, wait, Mr. Walsh, you
don't... Go ahead, go ahead.

I'll be back in a minute.

Tell you more about old snow.

But in the meantime, and in between
time, may I trouble you for a cigarette?

I quit.

There's a whole carton in my desk,
though. You can have those.

Thank you. Excuse me.

So, who are you and how did you know?

What was the question again?

I hate to see that demon son go.

Hey, Bella. Mr. Morris.

Look at you.

Can't even see in the light. Too many
years working downstairs in the cold.

How's he feeling?

I'm looking for stick 23.

Right over here.

Thank you.

Hello.

Hi.

What are you doing here?

Well, I thought I'd come by and see Mr.
Morris.

Can you ask him a few more questions?

He's a nice guy. I thought I'd come say
hello.

Is this what happens to all you
reporters? Start thinking the worst of

Are you friends with Mr. Morrison?

I am, anyway.

I was with him just before he was hurt.

How is he?

The burns are only on his hand.

Could have been worse.

Can we see him?

I'm afraid not.

He's having some heart problems.

I can't let you see him.

Thank you.

Have a nice day.

Wait up.

In my office, it was meant for me,
wasn't it? Well, then talk to the

did. I told them it was possible.

It means I'm too close to finding
something out. Well, then you better

for yourself.

See ya. Is that a warning?

Excuse me? Did you just threaten me?

What? Well, you show up today, you know
things that aren't even in the paper

yet, and now this happens. Oh, yeah,
yeah, yeah. See, you got me. I'm a

for the mob.

You think that's funny? Red Cooper is
dead and Morris is in a hospital.

probably send me to Sicily for a year
until things cool off, but until then,

goodbye.

I'm going with you. I don't think the
Don would allow that. Goodbye.

Okay, so maybe I don't believe you'd
actually hurt anybody, but you did know

about the place.

I was a guest.

There are 50 states.

Well, when in doubt, you guessed New
Jersey.

You'd be a funny guy if you weren't a
problem I'm having.

There's a graveyard, personnel files.

You were asking about a former employee?

I heard you say that to Morris.

I could show you where it is.

Haught says you're a historian.

You a thief?

Uh, well, no, you'd sort of call it a
freelance, I guess.

A freelance historian?

Hmm.

Well, you must know Professor
Langenhahn, Bloomington.

I did a piece on him last year.

Yeah, Langenhahn, he's a good guy,
Langenhahn.

Oh, you know what? Except he's not at
Bloomington, he's at Wisconsin.

Oh, Lange... That's Langenham, that. The
one at Wisconsin. Well, sure, I was

thinking of the other one.

Snow.

You gonna open that?

Because I gotta admit, I'm curious.

I am.

Check these out. Ah!

There's a very strange woman downstairs
in the archives yelling.

You might want to check that out.

It can't be right.

There's nothing here.

Nothing here.

Caesar, crispy romaine. Caesar salad's
more like it.

Santa Fe chicken salad. Mystery meat.

Gary, the paper comes to you. That's all
you need to know. What pasta of the

day? You don't need to know how or why
or how come. I mean, most of you ask me

why I'm here. What difference does it
make? You get the hush puppies. But you,

you're special.

Special? That paper makes you special.
Special. You want to know what that

makes me? It makes me nuts. I don't have
a life. I can't get a job. I don't even

have a girlfriend. You know why? Because
every time I get close to having

anything that's normal in life, that
paper takes it away. No, no, no, no, no.

That paper comes to you so you can try
and do something.

It's a gift.

Don't look at it in the mouth.

What else you got?

My heart's a palm. In the folder.

We got a claim ticket that belongs
probably to a hotel that doesn't exist

anymore.

Employee stuff.

Mr. Lucius Snow.

Height 5 '7", weight 155 pounds, blue
eyes.

Date of birth, 19. There's a blank here.

Died 1996, September 28th.

And that's about it.

Gary, the day he died, you remember,
don't you?

Remember what?

That's the day before the paper started
coming to you.

What are you doing in here?

The doorman let me in.

Oh, the doorman let you in.

Well, why don't you... Don't touch me!

Get out of here!

So what's your big secret, huh?

What secret?

I do this for a living. I know when
somebody's hiding something.

You know, I don't like you. I don't like
you. Good. Good.

You can tell your union boss is
something for me. They don't scare me.

blowing up my desk, and not by sending
some good -looking muscle to shut me up.

Good look. He must be losing my touch.

I'm behind you.

I'm the guy you're looking for.

You're Richie O 'Brien?

You can tell me about Red Cooper?

I was there.

If you talk to me, I'll keep you
anonymous.

Not now.

There is a Motel 9 near the fairgrounds
in Oak Park.

Tomorrow morning, 8 o 'clock.

Take a room.

I'll do that.

No, wait, wait.

You're looking for Meredith, huh? I was
hoping you could help me find her. I

don't know where anyone is. You
misspelled brassiere again.

Okay, I'll put on every available man.
Call up the National Guard.

Look, it's important that I find her.

Come on with headlines.

Massacres in Burundi. A serial killer
gets the chair tonight.

But should I care? No.

I'm not running a paper. I'm running a
missing persons bureau. Or maybe a

hearts club.

That's her desk. She's not at it as
usual.

Trust me, you don't find Meredith. She
finds you.

Henderson, who's that girl guy got in
the hobbies here?

Great fluffy work, Len.

Hey.

Thank you.

Oh, and check your headlines. Your
execution story's wrong.

Governor's gonna grant a pardon at
midnight.

All right.

Uh,

Henderson.

What have

you

done,

Richie? I don't know who Richie is, and
I don't care. I do know you've got to

get out of here. Oh, yeah? How's that?

How's that? I'll tell you how's that.
Someone's coming here to get you.

no doubt. You know what? I don't trust
you, and I'm going to call the cops.

Okay,

you call the cops. While you're calling
the cops, why don't you call the

ambulance, too, because I think you
broke my hand.

Hello?

Hello?

Phone's dead.

That's it.

We're going. I'm staying.

No, you're going. I'm staying.

Going.

Next floor, 306.

I'm going.

Thanks for trusting me.

For the record, I did not say my price
to you. Just get in the car.

It's a rental. Get in the car. It's
mine.

Would you get in the car? Put your
seatbelt on. Don't tell me what to do.

your seatbelt on.

The car won't start without your
seatbelt on.

We'll take the car.

Start the car.

Take me home. Good idea. Like they don't
know where you live. There's probably a

bomb in your coat.

We can't go anywhere.

I don't get it.

Why would they come after me without
Richie? I don't even have a story. Maybe

they don't know that. Maybe Richie's...
Ow!

Maybe Richie set you up. I don't think
so.

I think you scared him off.

Oh, so it's all my fault. I see. You
know, you got a real knack for pushing

problems on other people. You know, you
live in a dump. What's that supposed to

mean?

What's this?

You keep your paws off my things. Just
being curious, doing my job. Your

curiosity's giving me a headache.

You know, I'm usually pretty good at
figuring people out, but I'm having a

time with you.

What is it you do with your life,
anyway?

It's none of your business what I do
with my life. You got a job?

Huh? You got a wife?

Bingo. Hey, come on, let's just add this
up. What do we got? We got a guy in a

bad hotel room. Why?

I think maybe his wife threw him out on
his... And why is he still here? Because

he's burning a torch for us. Burning a
torch? That's beautiful. What does he do

for a living? Does he have a job? He's
not a hitman, not driving that car. He's

not a reporter. Driving that car.
Otherwise, he would have stolen my story

now. How do you think I'm doing?

How do I think you're doing? Well, I
think you're putting much attention.

I think he's looking for something.

Something that's missing.

Something that has to do with this.

All right, give it back. No.

Let it go.

Or what?

Just let it go.

You just dropped my book. So?

So pick it up. Don't tell me what to do.
It's your book. You pick it up.

What are you doing? What do you mean,
what am I doing? I mean, what are you

doing? I kissed you. I know you kissed
me. Why'd you stop?

I didn't stop. You stopped. I didn't
stop.

You kissed me again.

Don't tell me what to do.

Don't ever tell me what to do.

Good morning.

Baker.

Good morning.

What? I can't hear you.

I said go away.

What's wrong? Are you sick?

I'm busy.

Doing what?

Hey.

Yeah.

Oh.

Hey!

Hey, good morning!

Gary?

Black, please.

So you want it just black, then?

Yeah, black would be good.

That's what I thought.

Hey, buddy, how are you doing?

Hey, how are you doing today?

What are you doing here?

Don't read that.

We're not going to play this game again,
are we? I just don't like people

reading my paper. Why? I'm a reporter.

Serious about this, aren't you?

Okay.

What is it?

I... Look,

I can't explain this.

I'm a big girl.

I can take it.

Who? The wife?

The silence is killing me. Come on,
what? Yes?

No?

Look, I can't do this.

I'm sorry.

Where are you going?

I'm going to work.

I'm going to do my job.

The coffee's ready.

Good morning, sir.

Great. No paper today?

Nope.

Well, if it isn't the ever -elusive Miss
Carson. Not today, Harry.

You never called, you never write.

Especially, you never write.

Where you been?

Meeting didn't happen. Contact didn't
show.

That would be yesterday. Now it's today.

I had a rough night, okay?

I'm so tired of this.

Chasing air.

I know more about the people I write
about than myself. I think I'm going to

retire. Someplace peaceful. Someplace
where there's no men.

Oh, butt out.

You're not going to retire.

Want to bet?

You're all newspaper, kid. It's in your
blood. You couldn't retire if you wanted

to.

Try me.

Coffee's cold.

Tonight.

Hey, Jimmy, this story you wrote, what
happened?

Happened to what?

I read it this morning. It's at the
budget pass.

You're joking, right? No. They don't
vote till tonight.

Besides, the council's made up their
mind. It doesn't stand a chance.

I said, maybe you ought to take up
smoking again. Carson? Yeah.

There's a message for you. Not now.

He said it's important.

Don't care.

Some guy named Richie.

He called from downstairs in the lobby.

He said you'd want to know.

Hey, hold it.

What floor?

Lobby.

Hey, I said lobby.

Sorry, Cupcake. No can do.

Where's Richie? Richie ain't anywhere.

That message you got was from us.

Where you guys taking me? Dinner and
drinks? Or how about the turkey or car?

Neither. The car went dead three blocks
from here.

Carburetor prop.

Sorry to hear that, boys. Here's gonna
have to do.

Open it up.

What do you want to talk about? Sports?
Philosophy?

How about Red Cooper?

We want to know what Richie told you.

Sorry, not much.

Yeah, that's what Richie said.

But we didn't believe him.

You think you're going to intimidate me
with that $20 jacket you don't know

you're dealing with?

Nice shot. Thanks.

What are you doing here?

I'm supposed to believe that?

Where?

There.

What is it, Cody?

It's kind of like Tales of the Crypt.

All right, we got him now.

Okay. What now?

In about ten minutes, a night watchman
comes and finds our bodies.

What? Well, if there were a night
watchman in about ten minutes, he'd come

find our bodies.

You do know something, don't you?

We're going to die.

It's in the paper, isn't it?

Isn't it?

I thought the guy in the paper was
Richie. I was wrong.

Fully.

And if you had known?

Better than that.

I'll do it myself.

You want to do something ironic?

I'm holding a scoop of the century here
and I don't even care.

I'll get it done.

Dennis? Hold it. What are we doing?

I guess I got a story to file.

Yeah.

What time are you going to be done?

Time for dinner?

Yeah.

You going to tell me about it?

About what?

The paper.

Well, I thought we were going to die.

No, hold on.

I gotta go.

So she nailed him, did she?

That's our girl, man.

Don't stop till you bring him down.

And this.

Long old man Snow, you say?

That'd be like him.

Play things close, you know?

And he lived at Brown's?

Farther, no.

Most of his life, anyway.

Except toward the end.

He moved about a year ago.

He moved?

Couldn't quite figure out why.

Funny guy, that's enough.

Where did he move?

I don't know.

Ah,

there you go. I knew she was back here
somewhere.

A trunk.

I was hoping for at least a sack full of
cash.

This is where it's been the whole time,
in your hotel?

Figured. Wait a second.

You mean you knew this guy?

Well, man, so?

Oh, sure did.

Died the day before he moved in.

12 bucks.

Huh.

Business is business.

12 bucks.

Thank you.

There you go. Good luck.

I've been waiting for something like
this ever since the papers started

And now that it's here, I'm not so sure
I want to know.

Maybe you're supposed to know.

Newspaper. Shut up, Harry.

You're, uh, not hungry by chance, are
you?

Luka got pants from Wu Ling.

It's the best food in town.

Hi.

Early Edition returns on Monday morning
at the same time, 11 o 'clock.

How can you lose $25 billion?

Well, it happened in 2001. It was the
biggest bankruptcy in U .S. history.

Brian Dennehy stars in the Enron scandal
today at 1 o 'clock after Sue Thomas,

FBI, next.
