THIS WEEK’S HOSTS:

NEIL BROWN AND GEORGE HENDRICKS

OF THE MOGWAI MINUTE

John picks up a chair and smashes a window. It’s overheard by James on the roof, who reports the noise on his radio to Heinrich and Marco. Heinrich tells Marco to go to the 34th Floor.

Meanwhile in the lobby, Al is glancing around the room while Eddie watches television.

“You don’t mind if I take a look around, do you?” asks Al.

Eddie waves his hand without turning around. “Naw, help yourself,” he replies. After Al walks toward the elevators, Eddie turns around to see where he’s gone.

Up on the 34th Floor, McClane is smashing the window with a chair. He spots Marco through the conference room window. “Freeze, M-f–er! Drop it!” yells McClane, aiming his pistol.

Marco raises one free hand in response, but doesn’t drop his weapon. “Don’t shoot!” he yells.

McClane continues to yell at Marco to put the gun down. Suddenly behind Marco, Heinrich appears with a weapon drawn. He fires at McClane but McClane dodges out of the way. McClane hides under the long conference table. Marco jumps atop the table and begins walking along its surface.

In the Elevator lobby, Al continues his perusal of the first floor. Around the corner at the second elevator bank, someone is holding an automatic weapon. Al pauses, then says, “Aw, the hell with this!” and walks back to the lobby.

Meanshile, Marco is shooting randomly through the table, and taunting McClane.
