44 Minutes: The North Hollywood Shoot-Out Page #5

---

- Stay with me, Henry.|- Officer needs assistance.

Unit requesting help.|What is your location?

9-L-49.

I need help.

9-L-49, hang in there. Help is on the way.|What is your location?

9-L-49, what is your location?

9-L-49.|9-L-49.

9-L-49?|9-L-49.

- 9-L-49.|-

Officer down. Officer down, code|three. He needs help. Code three.

Hey! We gotta get that man outta|here fast. He's not gonna make it.

- What do you have in mind?|- I'm gonna take this car.

- Pull around. Wait for me.|- All right.

Henry. Henry,|you hang in there.

We're coming for you.

You drive, I'll cover.

Just create enough chaos,|and we're bound to slip through.

Right. Right.

Very little movement|down there right now.

The suspects are|still inside presumably.

Police have not begun to move in.|They're still behind their vehicles.

You know, I just remember,|I got my Visa from this bank.

No sh*t.|Hey, you make it out of this alive...

you oughta ask them|to waive your balance.

If we get separated,|I'll meet you at the safe house tonight.

I'd rather die than go to jail|for the rest of my life.

That's right.|We'll do it. We'll do it.

- I'm not going to jail.|- I'm not going to jail.

I'm not going to jail!

Wait. Hold on. The gunmen--|- Coming out again!

Hey!

Come on!

Come on!

It looks like there's|a rescue mission underway.

Despite the gunfire, two officers|have scrambled out of their car...

and are pulling|another policeman to safety.

This is unbelievable.|He's driving directly--

This is unbelievable.|He's driving directly--

I was at a point where it was--|was out of my hands.

It wasn't in my control anymore.

Literally, whether|I was going to live or die.

And, uh, they say|that if you lose...

over 50 or 60% of your blood,|well, that's it.

And I think I lost|40% of my blood.

I was scared and...

I went back to a place where...

I remember...

chasing a suspect on foot.

He fired at me,|and I went for cover.

I guess, in some ways,|maybe I stayed too long.

The suspect got away|and eventually turned up...

robbed, uh, some folks|and killed somebody.

And there's a part of you|that you know...

maybe you didn't|do your best.

And, uh, because you didn't do|your best that day, someone got hurt.

I guess I knew that|on this day, I was gonna do...

whatever I could do|to help my fellow officers...

to make sure that this time,|the bad guys didn't get away.

They didn't-- They didn't hurt anybody again.|They didn't kill again.

Incredible. I gotta tell you.

I am watching this and I still,|I can't believe it's happening.

The money, Larry.|The money!

Fifty cops outside.

He turned around|and strolled right back in...

without a care in the world,|like it was nothing.

- What the hell's he doin'?|- Look at the duffel.

Whoever put that dye pack in there|is gonna be dead.

Man. Total disregard for life.

The devastation is terrible...

as the gunmen continue|to fire at the police

officers as they try|to make their getaway.

Dozens of officers and|civilians have been

wounded, but reports|are telling us...

- that ambulances are being held until the danger has been cleared.

Absolute war zone down there.|The firing continues.

...keep the police|pinned down...

although these brave officers|are refusing to back down.

It looks like one of the gunmen|has reached into his car.

Want some?

Come on, pig!

Continue to fire at him.

43-David. We are eastbound|in an alley heading toward Laurel.

Should be there in two minutes.

The policemen's return fire|doesn't seem to have any effect.

The rounds just keep coming--|Whoa.!

Wait. He's shootin' at us.|We're gonna have to get outta here.

- Looks like he's taking shots right up there.|- Yeah.

Get up! Get out of there!|Higher!

- And are firing at will. It is complete chaos here.

- Pratt.|- Yes, sir?

Haul your ass around the corner|to B&B Guns...

and grab as many|semiautomatic

weapons as|you can find.

Yes, sir.

They're still shooting at us.

Larry, get in the car.!|In the car.!

Stick to the plan.|You drive, I cover.

Kill the cops.

...just continue|to pummel the officers.

...just continue|to pummel the officers.

- They fire-- It achieves|no effect at all.|- Officers, good morning.

- I need guns. We got a situation.|- You're tellin' me.

We need some assault rifles,|some semiautomatics. What've you got?

We don't carry AKs, but, uh,|we got America's answer.

It's the AR-1 5.|It'll get the job done.

You got your CAR-1 5.|It's used by the U.S. military.

If you really want|something special...

that's the Remington 7 00,|bolt action.

It's the best sniper rifle made.

I can't believe they|let people just buy these.

You got proper I.D., good credit,|wait 1 0 days for a background check--

We need all this.|All of them.

- Okay. Hey, John, give me a hand.|- Okay.

Here you go.

- We need ammo.|- Okay, sir.

- Get these guys some ammo.|- I'll get it.

They're here.

Command post, this is 43-David.|We are at the scene.

Let's go.

Yes, Jim, unconfirmed reports now|have a possible third...

and maybe even a fourth suspect|in the bank.

and maybe even a fourth suspect|in the bank.

Jay, I want you to grab|that armoured car.

- We're going to use that as our rescue vehicle.|- You got it.

L.T., what's the position|of your suspects?

We have two suspects|heading eastbound on Archwood.

We have a report of a|possible third suspect

inside the bank|holding hostages.

- Shots have been fired.|- Okay, guys, we got an active shooter in the bank.

We're gonna make an entry.|Let's go.

- Who's gonna pay for all this?|- Charge it to Mayor Riordan.

Suspects are leaving|the bank building.

They continue to fire|into police officers.

8-L-1 0. Suspects are|attempting to go mobile.

That's Archwood Street that|you see he's pulling

out on. He's going|east on Archwood.

Get out of the way!

Police! Open up!

Open up.!

They're gone.|It's just us in here.

- They're gone.|- Bank's clear. Stay in the vault!

All right. Come on.

1 5-L-1 0, officer advised.

You've got a clear shot|at the suspect...

eastbound on Archwood,|from behind the supermarket.

Larry! Get in the car!

Get in the car!

Come on!

It's gotten strange.|They've slowed to an almost crawl...

but the police seem helpless|to stop them.

But now they're|moving a little

quicker. They're|separating.

I need officers on all four corners|on Archwood.

I want you to extend that perimeter|four blocks in all directions.

We've got a number two|suspect driving the

white vehicle headed|east on Archwood.

We've got number one suspect|on foot. Number

one is behind a|long trailer rig.

Whew!

- Come on.

Come on. Come on.|

Come on!

His gun is dropped.!|Go to the back side.!

Hey, you kids.! Get back inside.!|I'm a policeman.!

Go back in your house!|Get in there!

Oh, my God.! One of the gunmen|has just been shot. He's down.!

He's down. Officers are moving in.|He's not moving.

Vehicle is moving very slowly.|He's trying to escape.

Looks like he might be trying|to commandeer another car.
