McClane is pissed. He's gotta do something—anything.
And by anything, we mean throw a computer tied to a chair and rigged with C4 down the elevator shaft, because why not?
The ensuing explosion rocks the whole building, blows out a lower floor, takes out two bad guys, and nearly singes off McClane's eyebrows.
Scene 24
Harry, high on cocaine, has decided to take matters into his own hands.
He waltzes in to talk to Gruber because he negotiates million dollar deals "for breakfast."
Harry (who, it's worth mentioning at this point, is also quite hairy) puts on his best yuppie moneymaker talk and tells Gruber he can get rid of McClane.
How's that? Well, he says he knows the guy, and he can give him to Gruber.
