Now in firemen’s coats, John and Holly descend from the wrecked stairway of the lobby, aided by first responders. Papers continue to fall from the sky.

John looks out at the crowd of emergency personnel.  He sees an LAPD sergeant smiling at him. It’s Al Powell.

McClane mouths the word, “Pal,” and Al smiles wider and nods.  John and Holly make their way toward him. They pause in front of each other, then Al breaks into laughter and hugs John. McClane laughs and cries at the same time.

“Al, this is my wife,” says John.
