Missing scene
from Siege

Here’s
a short missing scene from Siege. What I took from the script directly is in
orange.
********************************
From the script:
Simon: So I'll tell you what. In a couple of days when we get
this mess cleaned up and things return for what passes for normal around here,
I want both of your butts in my office and you tell me exactly what's going
down. All right?
Jim: Yes, sir.
Simon: And now I think I'm going to go give a hug to my son.
Jim: Good idea. (Simon leaves)

Jim
smiled as Simon walked away. That should be an interesting conversation. He
rubbed his arm. He was going to be sore in the morning. What on earth possessed
him to jump onto that chopper?
He
heard Sandburg begging Carolyn to untie him and grinned. The grad student had
gumption, that’s for sure. Jim frowned as he rolled his shoulders. Why had he
chased after Kincaid and Sandburg? It wasn’t like there was a really good
chance that he would succeed in catching the helicopter, or rescuing Sandburg
if he did make it. Jim shook his head. The fact that he wasn’t splattered all over
Cascade was amazing enough. That they’d actually managed, with no small thanks
to Sandburg, to bring Kincaid in without further injury to anyone, well, that
was nothing short of a miracle.
Jim
watched as Carolyn borrowed a pocket knife from one of the patrol officers and
helped free Sandburg’s hands. Something had drawn him after Sandburg. He hadn’t
given a second thought to jumping for that skid. Would he have done that for
just anyone? Rhonda or Daryl? Maybe… but one of the other officers?
Sandburg’s
voice caught his attention again. He was thanking Caro and the officers,
probably about to come Jim’s way. The detective sighed, but found a small grin
making its way to his lips. What would Blair think of his first day at the
station? Things sure weren’t dull with him around.
At
least now, they would be able to tell Simon the truth and hopefully gain the
captain’s support. Jim was pretty sure he wouldn’t be able to manage without
Sandburg’s help, at least for a while.
Blair
walked over, rubbing his chafed wrists. Jim flinched at the sight of the raw
skin. That had to hurt.
<from the script>
Blair: You told him, didn't you?
Jim: Yeah, I had to.
Blair: What happened? Did he, like, freak or what?
Jim: No. I actually think it's all going to turn out to be just
fine.
Blair: Great, great. There's just one more thing I got to ask
you.
Jim: What's that?
Blair: This wasn't like a typical day
for you, was it?
Jim
laughed and walked away, toward Carolyn. This might just work out for the best,
this partnership with Sandburg. Not that he would tell him that they were
partners.
Blair: Well, is it? Come on!
Jim’s
grin broadened briefly before he pulled on a serious face as Blair jogged up to
join him. If nothing else, the kid was fun to tease.
