| - Since McClane is on suspension from the New York City Police Department, his boss, Inspector Walter Cobb, brought him in since he got a call from a man who bombed the Bonwit-Teller department store known as Simon, who wants McClane to walk into Harlem wearing a racist billboard sign. Cobb, along with fellow detectives, Joe Lambert, Connie Kowalski and Ricky Walsh, are driving McClane to Harlem in the police van. It is revealed that McClane is once again estranged from his wife Holly and has nearly become an alcoholic. Ricky reports that there were three killings in the Redhook section and 14 dump trucks stolen from the yard in Staten Island. McClane asked about yesterday's lottery number and asked Ricky if he still uses his badge number, which was 6991, as his number and Ricky nodded. As they pulled up to Harlem, McClane strips down to his underwear and remarks to Connie, she is the first to see him do this since Holly. Lambert taped a gun on his back. Cobb tells McClane that the backup will be 10 blocks away, which displeases him since it is too far from him. Cobb says that if they don't do what they want, Simon will blow up another public building and it has to be him. As they drop McClane off and give him the billboard sign, Cobb says they will pick him up in 15 minutes, but McClane says he'll be dead in four. After the truck left, he walks in Harlem wearing a sign bearing the words "I Hate Niggers" (or "I Hate Everybody" in some TV versions for censorship reasons). On a street corner, shopkeeper Zeus Carver and his nephews, Dexter and Raymond, see McClane wearing the sign. Zeus tells his nephews to call 911 immediately and goes to McClane. Zeus tries to negotiate with him and tells McClane to hide in his shop before a black gang sees him and want him killed. McClane tells Zeus that he's a cop and tells him that the guy who bombed the Bonwit Teller store forced him to go to Harlem to offend some black people with the sign he's wearing or he'll blow up another place. When the gang sees McClane and his sign, Zeus tries to tell the gang that McClane may be an escaped wreck job, probably from Bellevue hospital, but the gang is not buying it and attack McClane. Then Zeus uses the gun taped on McClane's back to hold the gang back as they went into the taxi and got away. As they are in the taxi, Zeus, who got slashed in the arm by the gang, wasn't thrilled that the gang are probably vandalizing his shop right now. McClane refers to him by Jesus, but the hostile Zeus corrects him. McClane tells the taxi driver to take him to the downtown police station, which Zeus isn't too pleased about.
