- Mr. Carrington.
- That's right.
- Uh-huh.
We've been trying like hell
to get a moment with you.
- I understand that,
but I have a 9:00 meeting
and, well.
- Don't worry.
This won't take long.
This is your Summer Series
model, it retails for $599.
- Listen,
I understand you folks
have some concerns
about our products,
but I don't have time right now
to talk to you about it.

- We see a lot of close calls
in our line of work.
How soon
we can get to a victim,
how fast we can get
some poor shot kid to the ER.
Most the time their fate,
whether they live or die,
comes down
to a matter of seconds.
See,
one of your young customers,
they left a candle burning
a little too close to your sofa
for less than one minute.
She suffered burns on
over 25% of her body.
[dramatic music]
See, time.
I hope you understand
that in the space
of a single heartbeat
my friend Brian saved the lives
of me
and six other firefighters
in your factory fire,
but that heartbeat was...
his last.

He was a good a person
as you could ever hope to know.
