John wants Al to tell his wife something.
“John said that he was sorry,” said McClane. “Okay? You got that, man?”
“Yeah, I got it, John,” replies Al. “But you can tell her that yourself. You just watch your ass, and you’ll make it out of there, you hear me?”
“Well, I guess that’s up to the Man Upstairs,” says John. McClane pauses, and ponders something.
“John? John?” says Al.
“What the f— were you doing upstairs, Hans?” McClane asks himself.
“John!” says Al, worried.
“No, Al – listen,” says McClane, “Listen, just lay off for a while. I gotta go check on something.” Al ponders what McClane’s plans are.
Meanwhile, at the Gennaro house, Richard Thornburg is giving the housekeeper Paulina a hard time.
“One- – one minute!” says Thornburg, “That’s all I’m asking is one minute.”
“No, senor,” replies Paulina.
“Just to speak with -” he continues.
“No, no!” repeats Paulina.
“Alright, alright, get back,” says Thornburg to the camera crew. He leans in and speaks to Paulina is a quiet voice, “Look, you let me in right now, or I call the INS. Comprende?”
Paulina is shocked.
