In Plain Sight (2019)

Paul Jarrett: Nelson Stewart

Quotes 

• Nelson Stewart : Somebody get me a photographer. We got a celebrity sighting here.

  James Olsen : Nelson, what's up, brother? How you doing?

  Nelson Stewart : Jimmy Olsen. What the hell are you doing here? I hope you're not looking for a job. We can't afford you.

• James Olsen : So, I met this local kid who says his mom is serving ten years for petty theft? So I did some digging, and that prison in your backyard, it seems to have a lot of people serving long sentences for small crimes.

  Nelson Stewart : Yeah, people have bad luck, I guess.

  James Olsen : Bad luck? It's prison corruption, wouldn't you say?

  Nelson Stewart : It's, um... it's complicated. Look, I wish I could help you, but...

  James Olsen : You can help me, Nelson. That's why I'm here. Journalism's about fighting for the little guy, you taught me that. It's your job to point out corruption, so what the hell's going on here?

  Nelson Stewart : Things have, uh, changed for some people. Idealism doesn't feed a family. And this whole power of the press thing, it might work if you've got the backing of a media conglomerate and a certain girl with a cape. But around here, it doesn't mean anything.

  James Olsen : Standing up for what's right always means something. Nelson. That prison is stomping on the neck of this entire town.

  Nelson Stewart : It's also the only thing that's keeping this town alive. Look, I'd love to see these bastards get what they deserve. But if I call them out, my advertisers, they pull their money, not only am I out of a job but so are the 30 other people I employ. Go back to National City. I like to think of you there. You know, I'm just glad somebody made it out of this town. And I'm glad it was you.
