Hold the elevator!

Previous to an early edition.

Here, you dropped your paper.

Hey, you got tomorrow's paper.
Tomorrow's New York Daily News.

Tomorrow's Sun -Times. Wow.

Hey, kid, you go solo? Don't you? No, I
delegate.

Delegate? I got my crew running around
the entire tri -state area 24 -7.

Joey claims.

This guy.

This guy made 50 ,000 bucks off me last
year alone.

Hello, uh, Mr.

Clams? Joe Clams?

Sam wanted to know if you could possibly
go down to Times Square and if there's

a gravel truck that's going to turn
over.

I'll tell you what. I'll give you 200
bucks. That way... Hello?

Mr. Clam?

I see trees of green, red roses too.

I see them bloom for me and you.

And I think to myself, what a wonderful

world.

I see skies of blue.

And clouds of white.

The bright blessed day.

The dark sacred night.

And I think to myself.

I get tomorrow's newspaper.

Today, I'm out there saving people's
lives.

That's what I do.

What kind of marketing survey?

What do you mean a marketing survey?
It's got my name on it. Well, computers

it all the time. Marissa Clark, you may
have just one million dollars. Special

subscriber. What's that supposed to
mean?

Oh, resample copy?

Of tomorrow's paper?

Well, I don't know, Gary. Maybe it's a
mistake.

Maybe it's from whoever sends the paper.

What? I don't know. I mean, I've been
getting it for so long.

I sort of stopped wondering where it
comes from.

Somebody's got to be sending it. Yeah,
but who?

Well, I don't know. Somebody.

Something.

What do you think?

I don't know, Gary. I just always
assumed it came from someplace good.

Well, it says the appointment is at 9 a
.m. sharp.

An appointment for what? Why would they
want to see me, and why now?

Don't jump to conclusions, Gary. It
could be nothing.

You're right. That's probably what it
is. It's probably absolutely nothing.

Maybe you should wear a tie.

Yes. Be right with you.

Mr. Hobson, yes?

Please come in.

Why am I here?

We like to, uh, touch base with our
subscribers, Mr. Hobson. Tell me, are

happy with the newspaper? No complaints?

I'm, uh... I'm all right with it, yes.

It does come a bit early.

You'd say to rise promptly then, would
you?

Look, is this a survey?

What about your use of the paper? My
use?

Do you think it fills your needs?

Has the paper had an impact on your
daily life?

Oh, well, it's had an impact, all right.
And would you describe that impact as

negative or positive?

It's positive.

Excellent.

Mostly.

Then could we say that you are satisfied
with the paper and wish to continue

receiving it?

Well, can I ask you something?

Are we talking about the same thing?

See, my card here says special
subscriber.

All our subscribers are special, Mr.
Hobson. Yeah, well, that's great.

Yes. Yes.

Yes, I'm with him right now.

Hmm?

Absolutely.

Under the circumstances, I think that
would be best.

Of course.

I will.

Cheers.

Who are all these people?

Subscribers.

Subscribers?

Subscribers like me.

Like you in what way?

Like me in that they get the paper.

That's why we call them subscribers.

What I mean is, do they get the paper
that comes with the special delivery

schedule?

Look, all I'm asking is, who are they?

Yes, I'm afraid that's confidential.

For the protection of our readers, I'm
sure you understand.

No, I don't understand. Thank you for
your time.

Look, you just can't have me come in
here...

Just who are you, anyhow?

I think the important question, Mr.
Hobson, is who are you?

Well, I've enjoyed our little chat, but
I wouldn't dream of taking up any more

of your time.

I'm sure you have somewhere to go, don't
you?

Huh?

Oh.

Oh, yes, I do.

I do.

Be seeing you.

Is that radiator safe?

Ignore it.

Skills? Excuse me?

What skills do you have? I have a
master's degree in mathematics.

My undergrad major was chemistry.

Look, I just need a job.

Well, the Capital Cab Company has a high
turnover.

Let me check on something, okay?

Thomas James Cox?

Yeah? Yeah. Would you come with me,
please? Is this about the taxi job?

Exactly. Wow, you work fast. Would you
come with me now?

I thought you said ignore

it. It's never done that before.

The cab company doesn't have any jobs
right now.

But what about...

I could swear someone was watching me.
You know that feeling you get when the

hair raises on the back of your neck?

Well, it wasn't just like I was being
watched. It was creepy sore, like I was

being observed.

Observed by whom?

I don't know, but I think it had
something to do with the interview.

Well, I think maybe the interview just
made you paranoid, that's all.

Paranoid? Well, I should be paranoid.
Three years I've been running around the

city doing this, and for what? A guy in
a bowler hat and a bunch of people

spying on me? I'll tell you what, you'd
be paranoid, too. I mean, every time I

turn around, I got something else going
on. Joey Clams, how you doing?

We spoke on the phone some time ago. I'm
a friend of Sam Cooper's. I'm from the

city.

Oh, Sam Cooper.

Clams Crews of New York. How do you do?
That's right. How you doing? Uh -huh.

Uh, this is my partner, Marissa Clark.

Charmed, I'm sure.

So, what brings you to Chicago, Mr.

Clams? Joey.

And it's, uh, it's funny you should ask.

Uh, you know the paper Sam got, the
Daily News?

Hey, hey.

We're all friends there.

Uh -huh.

Fact is, I get the paper now.

What? Yeah.

Sam's retired. He wanted to spend more
time with his daughter, so he decided to

hang it up, turn things over to me.

Wait a second.

You can do that? You can turn the paper
over to somebody? Well, we didn't know,

frankly, but Sam thought it was worth
the shot, so I moved into his apartment

for a while. We shared the paper. Then,
like, September, Sam just moved out.

Paper kept coming. What can I say? The
city's mine.

The city's his.

That's unbelievable.

Yeah.

So, kid, how's things in Chicago?

Oh, uh... How do you mean?

Everything okay?

Paper still coming every day like
always?

Situation normal?

Yeah, everything's... Yeah.

Everything normal in New York?

No, everything's okay. We've just been
experiencing...

What you might call technical
difficulties.

Technical difficulties?

Yeah. It's like this. I haven't gotten
the paper for three weeks.

You have?

Yeah. What happened?

Hell if I know. For six months,
everything was going great. Then one

this invitation in the paper. An
invitation to an appointment?

Yeah. The next thing I know, I'm having
a talk with this guy. A guy in a bowler

hat. Oh. Yeah, and he's in this office,
and it's in a funny little room, an

office kind of.

See, this is what I was afraid of. What?

You're in trouble, kid. Huh?

There's limey with the lid. He was fine
with me, real polite, you know. Then two

days later, the paper just stops coming.
I mean, it just stops.

But you think that that had something to
do with this guy?

Of course I think it had something to do
with this guy.

Well, whoever he is, he was checking up
on me, and now he's checking up on you.

Me? Oh, no, no.

All he did was ask me a few questions
this morning. That was it. This morning?

Yeah. You saw him today? Yeah. Where?

At the office building. Come on. Huh?
Come on.

Look, there's clams in the office.

What if it's not the same guy?

If it isn't, five will get you ten. They
both work for the same outfit.

You're not going to do anything violent,
are you? No, of course not. I'm just

going to have a civilized conversation
with the pinhead about getting my damn

paper back. Now, wait a second, kid.

Relax. I'm not the kind of guy who takes
things personally.

See?

Sierra Travel, how can I help you?

I knew it.

Where's the guy that was here this
morning?

Morning? Yeah, a guy with a bowler hat,
dark suit, head and accent. He had an

office.

Back there.

Our office has been here for five years,
sir. I don't know who had it before us,

but... Look, there was a guy here this
morning. I'm telling you, he was here

this morning. This wasn't here. I was
here this morning. I know, I know. Come

on. But, no, you don't understand. I
mean, there was a guy. He was there.

thing happened to me in New York, Oli. I
came back three days later. Damn, these

guys work fast.

You better watch out, Hobson. It's like
this is exam period or something. You

could lose the paper, same as me.

Well, I did feel like I was being
watched this morning.

So you're saying this is some kind of
performance review?

Yeah, he knows when you're sleeping. He
knows when you're awake.

Well, I didn't do anything wrong.

A guy's got to make choices, right?

What was it that you did to lose the
paper anyhow?

Me? Nothing.

That's why you've got to be extra
careful. It's like this guy ain't

curve. It's pass -fail, my friend, and
mostly I think it's fail.

Well, that's not fair. Tell me about it.

Listen, I gotta go. I gotta stop a woman
from choking on a corn chip. I'm coming

with you.

I understand, Mr. Stasel, that you may
not want to commit to a two -year

subscription.

Yes, Mr. Stasel.

I read every issue of American Hygiene
myself and find it far more intriguing

than Timer Newsweek.

What I'm wearing is not important.

You

okay?

Yeah. Yeah?

Sit down. Take it easy.

Let's calm up.

I was just talking on the phone. If you
hadn't come along... I'll be right back.

Thank you.

Hey,

Miss Clark.

Where's Hobson?

Out. He said you ran out on him. Yeah, I
thought I saw someone I knew.

Blind Allie.

Too bad.

So where's the kid?

He had to go take care of the paper.

Well, you went without me? Well, it
wasn't much. I mean, it was something in

dry cleaner's. I'm sure Gary can handle
it. What's the address?

Why? Why?

I could help him out, that's why.

This is a critical time for him. It's
like he's on probation or something.

Listen, no offense, Joey, but how much
help could you be?

You've already lost your own paper. That
was a fluke. Uh -huh.

What?

Something must have gone wrong.

Confession is good for the soul, Joey.
Besides, if you don't come clean, I'm

going to tell you where Gary is.

I'm telling you, nothing went wrong.

Except for maybe that little dip the

market took in high -tech stocks last
month.

You might have heard about that. That
was you? The market lost 300 points.

Mostly in one sector.

Everybody was fine the next day, except
for this one little startup company that

went under, Fastlane Technology.

And what did you do, Joey?

I knew tech stocks were going to take a
loss, so I sold off my portfolio. I had

a major position in Fastlane.

I guess I should have spread it out
throughout the week instead of dumping

all at once.

And you wiped them out.

Their stock went from $33 a share to 33
cents.

Oh, Joey.

What? One company? And I wasn't the only
investor.

They couldn't possibly hold that against
me. That company went under.

There were people working there.

It was an accident.

Nothing that couldn't have been avoided.
You know, Gary would never use the

paper for the market.

Yeah, well, he don't have my overhead.

Maybe not, but the paper... There's a
lot of power there.

What? You don't think I know that?

Why do you think I want to help your
friend? I wonder.

So where's the dry cleaners?

Come on.

We had a deal.

Look, I made a mistake. I admit it.

But I learned my lesson. Now I just want
to help out any way I can.

Come on.

Ron Haskell, 32, was taken to Chicago
General in acute shock after his arms

accidentally crushed a steam press by an
irate dry cleaner.

Look at these buttons.

They're crushed, every single one.

Can't you read?

What, is that your license to pulverize?

Your little sign doesn't make it legal.
You're responsible.

You know what? I think it's just an
accident.

Oh, really?

Well, let me tell you something, King
Solomon. This isn't the first time

something like this happened. And ten
broken buttons isn't an accident. It's

more like aggravated assault.

You're a moron. I don't have to listen
to this.

They're just buttons. You can have more
sewn back on, can't you, huh?

Whoa, whoa, whoa. You don't want to do
that, pal. Joey!

What? Hey, come on. You're upset.

Cool down.

Let's take this outside.

You're both crazy.

Joey,

quick, grab him.

There's got to be something. A lever.

I got it.

I got it. I got it. Even to me. Well, I
said push the button.

Hang on. We got it.

Well, bring him down.

He'll be okay. Almost there.

There you go, pal. No charge.

You're nuts.

Look over here.

What was that all about?

What was that about? What?

Unbelievable. What's unbelievable?

Unbelievable. You're not trying to help
me. I ain't trying to help yourself. I

try to make yourself look good, aren't
you? Get the paper back.

That's crazy.

Crazier? That's cra... Crazy.

Okay, okay.

Truth is, I miss it. And I miss the
action.

And what do you care if I step on your
turf a little? You gripe about the

Sam told me you never have any fun with
it. Why not let me share it for a while?

Share it? What would you do with it?
Look, I've already talked to Marissa

you in New York and everything.

Oh, it's a one -time thing.

Look, giving you the paper would be like
letting a juvenile delinquent have a

hot rod. Yeah, well, someone thought I
should get it. Yeah, and someone thought

you should stop getting it, too.

One mistake.

One tiny mistake.

that's more than balanced out by all the
good I've done. Five boroughs, my

friend. Five in the city that never
sleeps, huh? Plenty of guys would have

folded after the first week. And before
you get all high and mighty, kid, you

might want to remember they're making
their minds up about you right now.

Anything can happen.

Which is exactly why I don't need your
help.

Okay, kid. I warned you.

Don't blame me.

But... Hey, what do you mean, don't
blame you?

Ha!

Ha! Hey, what is... Send me!

Hey!

Hey, where's the paper?

You have to find him, Gary.

I should have seen this coming. He wants
his paper back.

So why is he still yours?

To prove that he can still do a good
job, that's why.

Well, maybe he can.

I mean, he handled New York for a couple
of months. Maybe he can handle Chicago

for a day.

Well, I doubt it. He's so busy trying to
impress Mr. Bowler hat.

There's no telling what he's going to
do.

You're winning, sir.

Thanks, pal.

Here you go. For your trouble. Oh, thank
you.

You are incredible.

You know, I didn't think that nag had
another four yards in it.

Hey, what's your next pick?

Give me a minute here. This is a
delicate procedure.

Don't you think it's more prudent to
hedge your bets rather than maximizing

risk by putting everything on one horse?

Not at all, my friend. You have to have
the courage of your conviction.

See, I got this system. You do? Yeah.

It's called no guts, no glory. You
should try it sometime.

Excuse me.

10 ,000 to win on while away in the
fourth.

10 ,000 to win on while away. I will.

8 ,000 to win on black velvet in the
fourth.

Of course, you've got to know what
you're doing, too. Oh, I do.

That's a lot of money to put on a horse
that isn't going to win. It's a little

early for you to be stating that as a
fact, isn't it?

Trust me.

While away.

This jockey's got more experience.

Hurt jockey is an apprentice.

Black velvet's going to win. I have the
courage of my conviction.

Look, I also have a system.

It's mathematical.

Whatever good luck to you pal. Thank you

ain't signed yet. What do you mean? It's
over.

One minute, please, ladies and
gentlemen. There's been a protest.

No, no, no, no.

Black Velvet has been disqualified. The
winner is a while away. It's a while

away in the board. Top luck, pal.

That was every penny I had.

Maybe this could ease the pain here a
little bit.

We're cleaning out our desks.

Why? Face it, Leonard. It's over. We
failed.

We didn't fail.

We have a prototype. It's twice as fast
as any other chip on the market.

What are we going to manufacture them
with, Leonard? We're bankrupt.

Didn't you see the notice from the
landlord we're being evicted?

Sarah, this is our dream.

To work together, to create our own
company.

Leonard, we have $8 ,000.

Our creditors want 96 ,000.

We all have math degrees, right?

Leonard?

We don't have $8 ,000. What?

I was trying to increase our capital.

What did you do, Leonard?

I wagered the money. Wager?

And now, Leonard, is this your horse
racing system?

That's it. I am out of here. Wait, but
it would have worked, you see, but the

horse was disqualified. Good luck,
Sarah.

Sarah. Sarah, wait.

We still have the chip.

I have rent to pay, and so do you.

I was kind of hoping that we paid, you
know, together.

It was a fine dream, Leonard.

Who killed that intersection?

Broken traffic light at Fulton and
Clinton. Fulton and Clinton.

Fulton and Clinton.

Talk to me.

Drive straight to Chestnut.

Chestnut is the first street on the
left.

worry, Einstein. Just keep doing what
you're doing. I got everything under

control.

All right, people, all eyes on me.

Hold it, buddy.

Come on, come on, come on, come on.

Keep it moving.

Let's go.

Keep up the good work. I gotta go get
some tools.

Go right ahead, my man. I'll take care
of things.

Ladies, be my guest.

Let's go Chief.

see you. Come on, hand it over.

Kid, listen, now.

Kid, you ain't looking at this right. I
took your paper true, but you forced me

to do it. Me?

Yeah, you practically threw me out of
town. You practically strangled a guy in

dry cleaner's. I saved that guy's life.
You saved?

Give it to me. It's my own.

Wait a minute, that's new.

That headline, it wasn't there before.

Explosion kills researcher.

What have you done?

Why is Joey Clams always to blame?

Give this to me. Now I gotta fix it.

I'll fix it.

He did a moment, people say things, and
there was some truth to it.

What? Yeah, if you hadn't interfered, I
would have found the paper and done

something about it. Done something about
it? Yeah, like you did something with

that traffic light. Oh, everybody's a
critic.

Yeah, well, if you hadn't have stolen
the paper, none of this would have

happened, would it? And just because you
can't show a colleague a little

professional courtesy. Oh, please. Some
poor schmo somewhere in Chicago is going

to get blown up. How are we supposed to
find them now?

Man, I was this close. This close to
what, destroying the entire city? Get my

paper back.

and your paper back. Now they're going
to take the paper from me, and I'll

deserve it.

Look, Hobson, I thought I could do this
without hurting anybody.

Don't play the sincerity card now.
You've been in this for yourself since

beginning. Okay, maybe that's true.

Maybe I came here to get the paper
again.

But you don't know how much I miss it.

And it ain't just the action.

I miss helping people.

I do. Oh, yeah, sure, that and driving
your Porsche and eating at your fancy

restaurant. Okay, maybe that's true.
That's a lot of fun.

I'll admit it, but I don't need that
stuff.

I miss the look on people's faces. I
miss them being glad that I was there.

Before I got involved with the paper, I
went through life like a spare part.

You could cut me out of the picture,
wouldn't make much difference to

The paper changed all that.

And it wasn't just being a big guy.

It was... Suddenly what I did mattered
to somebody.

Look, Joey, say I believe you and I
understand you, but you just can't come

here like... You want I should leave?

I'll leave.

But I'd rather stay here and try and
help you find this guy before he blows

And that's the truth.

Here, I got this.

Look, it came off of my hand when we
were having our little disagreement.

It's a start.

Humber, you are supposed to be out of
here.

I wanted to talk to you about an
extension. I told you before, no money,

extension.

You got the money? I did. I just kind of
misplaced it.

Hey, I'll give you more stock options.
Forget it. I have another party

interested in renting this place.

We have a prototype now.

All we have to do is find the capital.
Look, for all I know, you are the next

Bill Gates.

But without the rent, you're just Bozo
the Clown to me. Look, just let me work

through the rest of the night, okay?

I'll put together a report, try to
interest some investors. No renter is

to look this place over tomorrow. You
had plenty of notice to clear out.

I'll leave the furniture outside.

Maybe you could get a truck.

The rest of it is going to be dumped.

Dumped? Look, I'm willing to stash it in
the basement, okay?

I'll give you a week. But this place has
to be cleared out now.

Ten more minutes. Huh?

Hey. Hey, be careful with those, huh?

These are hazardous. You can't just mix
chemicals like this. They'll combust.

Don't worry. We'll treat them with kid
gloves.

They'll be fine.

Relax.

All right, the paper says Chester, so
this has got to be the street.

Maybe Chester's Manchester, Westchester.
No, no, no, Dorchester's the best bet.

Why is that?

Well, because it's an industrial
neighborhood, the kind of place where a

researcher might get blown up. Okay.

You got a better idea?

No, I'm with you. I'm just exercising my
right to comment. It's a New York

thing. You know, you guilted me pretty
good when you called. I guilted myself

pretty good.

You think he's still in there?

Come on. We both know Leonard's still in
there.

He's writing up a new investor report or
a new proposal.

Or he's sitting there working out some
design feature that's never going to

matter because no one's ever going to
buy from us. He's an obsessive nutcase.

He's our obsessive nutcase.

You got that right.

All right, so maybe we got the wrong
neighborhood.

You can't go in, Sarah.

But Leonard's in there. Maybe he got
out.

Leonard, is Leonard still there? Wasn't
he behind us?

Oh, no, it's that fast. That's the
company that went under when I... It's

because of me this is happening.

We have to go in after him. Sarah, those
are toxic fumes.

Two.

Disposal kills two.

Hey,

Jill.

Jill!

Don't go in there! What are you doing?

There's somebody else.

There's somebody else in there. All
right, stay back now, Sarah. We'll find

Leonard.

Sarah. Oh, Leonard, I was so scared.

Sarah, I didn't get the prototype.

A prototype.

Oh, thank God that you were here.

Listen, kid.

I represent a group of venture
capitalists. We're very interested in

doing. And we want to contribute.

Here you go.

$10 ,000.

What?

Leonard, count to zeros.

It's $100 ,000.

Is that enough to get you going?

Get us going?

This is going to launch a date.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Between Willow and Hubbard Woods Road,
traffic control in the Winnetka Transit

Department are on the scene.

And in Chicago Heights on the 94 going
south. I'm okay.

You don't have anything before 11.

Thanks.

Hey, smile, kid.

Looks like you passed.

Passed? Yeah, you got the paper.

Yeah, the paper.

I did, didn't I? Yeah.

You know, I gave those kids nearly every
cent I had. But, you know, I got to

thinking. I've been making too much of
this paper thing.

What? Yeah.

See, Joey Clams is not a passive
spectator on the stage of history. No,

friend, he's a man of action. And if I
want to help people, who's going to stop

me? No one. That's who. I don't need the
paper to do that.

Listen, good luck to you, Joey. Yeah,
thanks. And give my regards to Miss

I'll do that.

It's another paper.

Dayton Daily News.

Tomorrow's Dayton Daily News.

Dayton, Ohio?

I'm back, kid.

You what?

I'm coming back.

Well, I'll cover Dayton like nobody's
business. I'm telling you, I'll be back

the majors yet.

Oh, well, congratulations,

Joey.

Do you think they got bagels in Dayton?

Ah, I'll see you. Yeah.

If I can't make it there, I'll make it
anywhere.

Good luck, David.

Hey, Mutt, I hope your health's broken.

These are leather feet.

Hit it.

No dirty dancing for Patrick Swayze
today, but he will be trying to find an

African treasure on an expedition no
other explorer has survived.

Also starring Alison Doody from Indiana
Jones and the Last Crusade, King

Solomon's Mines begins today at 3.
