Terrorists have seized the building! The police are clueless! People are in danger! Only one man can save the day! That man is...Joe Leland.
It's explosive action and political turmoil in this episode of WHAT MAD UNIVERSE?!? as we take a look at NOTHING LASTS FOREVER, the book that was adapted (loosely) into the movie DIE HARD. What, you didn't think 80s action movies were literary?

Chapter Eleven: Empire of Crime!
You're getting sleepy...very sleepy...
