The job is pretty boring until he finds a man trapped in an old Indian dwelling. He jumps at the chance to make a name for himself by taking over and prolonging the rescue effort, and feeding stories to major newspapers. He creates a national media sensation and milks it for all it is worth - until things go terribly wrong.

- Leo, you have to breathe that oxygen.
- Friday morning.
Come on. Come on, up there.
Make all the noise you want. Hurry up.
I'm all set.
I got one leg out already. See it?
Cut out all that talking, Leo.
Five years today.
I hope she hasn't found the present.
I want to give it to her myself.
I hid it in a good place.
In the cupboard of our room, in my old barracks bag.
She'll never find it there.
I want her to wear it.
She'll look like a million.
Why is it so hot in here?
It's so hot.
'Cause you're talking too much.
Don't be so dumb, using up all your strength!
Breathe that oxygen! Breathe!
Don't you want to get your other leg out?
Yeah, sure. I have to.
So I can walk down the hill, walk home, walk up the stairs to our room.
So I can give her the present.
Up the stairs. Up the stairs.
