Background

During the events of Escape from the Bronx (1983) played by Paolo Malco

Hoffman introduces Henry Clark to a group of reporters. Hoffman explains to the reporters the companies plan for the Bronx and shows them a model of what the Bronx will look like after construction. Reporter 1 mentions how the Bronx is a dump and Hoffman tells the reporters how the residents will be moved to New Mexico. Moon Grey tells the other reporters that Hoffman is lying and she and Jay are thrown out of the press conference. Reporter 2 asks about the epidemic that has supposedly broken out in the Bronx, and Hoffman tells him it hasn't been contained. Reporter 1 asks if it is true that people are being forced out of their homes and Hoffman lies and says it isn't true. Later, Henry gets a call from Al who tells him he wants a hospital built before the upcoming election and Hoffman tells Henry, it should keep the government out of their business in the Bronx. Hoffman has Ms. Gibbs take down a note to the press that Henry has been kidnapped by a group of Bronx criminals who demand ten million dollars. During the attack on the Bronx, Hoffman arrives and okays Floyd Wrangler using poisonous gas against the Bronx gangs, even if it means sacrificing Henry. Floyd returns and tells Hoffman that Henry is dead and they shake hands. As Hoffman is leaving in his car, Strike shoots the car, causing it to explode.
