Paradise
Arnet, l got a perfect place to shoot the stand- up
We've gotta go now before somebody blows it up
Excuse me
The military splinter group led by General Rafael
is becoming more and more powerful
as witnessed by todays attack
on the governments military installations at El Coronados airport
Rebel sources say that these small tactical attacks
are only attempts to bleed out
President Hugo Luis Ramo's military power
a tactic which for now appears to be working
For C.B.B. l'm Arnet McClure
All right, cut it Renny
Excuse me
Can you please recommend a decent hotel?
Look, in case you havent noticed
- this isnt exactly a tourist place - Oh, really?
You mean there isn't good skiing here?

Hello, Claire
How long have you been down here?
About two years when all hell broke loose
But then you probably recognize me
l'm the one who did all the
reports on the attempted rebel coup about a year ago
- Oh my God - Yeah
- That was you - That was me
l didn't see it
Well, you know
you should really pay better attention cause
it's your tax dollars that keep the government in power down here
A full- blown revolution could break out at any minute
You trying to scare me?
No, l'm just saying you shouldn't be here
unless you have a damn good reason to be
Okay, well first of all l can take care of myself
And second of all l do have a damn good reason
Would that reasons name be Will Gallagher?
- Do you know him? - No
l heard you say his name at the front desk
Do you always eavesdrop on peoples conversations?
Yeah l do l'm a reporter
So, why are you looking for Will?
Fiance
How'd you lose your fiance?
l don't think the story's good enough for your network
Fine, just trying to help
Well, why don't ya help me find my fiance?
You know l'm sorry l'm gonna be gone tomorrow
l got a little expedition into rebel territory
But you oughtta check with the uh, American Embassy
They keep pretty good tabs on the Americans
- that come in and out of here - Thank you very much, Mr. Reporter
- Good luck on your quest - Good luck on your quest
After checking all the hotels and all the hospitals in town
the Embassy seemed to be a good idea
Your fiance could be anywhere
He arrived on December eleventh l have him down right here
Look
the U.S. government supports the Coronado government
under President Ramos
So the rebels don't exactly love U.S. citizens
l don't wanna alarm you but there have been twenty- two reported cases
of U.S. citizens being kidnapped by the rebels
l only hope that your fiance isn't number twenty- three
Well
why would he even be in Coronado?
l mean he never mentioned it before
You said he had some documents written in Spanish?
Well obviously he was here on some sort of business
No, no, no, no No No
He uh, he was doing business in Switzerland
He has a post office box thats in Zurich
And l have a time share in Maui
Look theres nothing we can do
Right now we're working frantically
just to establish contact with the rebel leaders
But so far without any luck
Okay, well that doesn't seem like an awfully big country
- Why don't we just get - Miss
Roughly a quarter of this country
is now rebel territory
and they're expanding
That's thirty thousand square miles of desert, mountain and jungle
Can you imagine trying to find somebody in that?
We don't even know where the main rebel base is
And it dawned on me that that's exactly what l'd have to find
My God
The Grand Hotel
West wing, huh?
Well, least you got your view
Why would they do this?
Because the west wing is full of brass
- Brass? - Military, high- ranking officials
Listen
Honey, you wanna stay
as far away from the military as possible, nope
Could l uh, could l take you up on your offer?
- What offer? - You, you said
that you were trying to help Could you take me to the rebels?
You wanna fight?
Well they have my fiance
What, hostage?

My maid speaks Spanish at home
