Get in there, now! Go back up!

One more time!

Yeah.

Hey, dude.

How long are they staying?

He's my friend, babe.

Says who?

What the f*** do you know?

What do you know?

"Frightens enemy soldiers,

lowers morale."

He's a good kid.

He isn't ours. He isn't even his.

They got nothing to do with us.

What are you doing, dude?

I'm just thinking.

"Realization of the sniper's

presence instills fear

in enemy troops."

Okay.

"Influences their

decisions and actions."

"The sniper's role is unique

in that it is the sole role

- that becomes more significant"

- That's for me!

"when the target is entrenched

or positioned among civilians."

Yes, hello.

This is Principal Winters

here at John F. Kennedy High

School in Camden, New Jersey.

We have three sets of records

for some students of yours --

two brothers and a sister.

Looks like they were

transferring schools,

and their paperwork

got sent to us by mistake.

Yeah, well, you know how it is.

If you could tell me where

those records should have gone,

I can send them out today.

No harm, no foul.

Maryland, huh?

Oh, that's a long way off.

Oh, no, don't you worry.

I'll take care of it. Easy as pie.

What an awful car.

That's them.

Still up.

Always hated bedtime.

She liked to let them

tire themselves out, so

As if she knew better than me.

I'd have to chase them around

and pick them up one by one.

"Come on, babies. Time to sleep.

Time to sleep."

Well

it's not about them anymore.

Let's go.

And a very good Friday

morning to you all.

It's 6:
47 now. It's time for

your local weather on the 7s.

We have a high-pressure system

moving through

All right, do you have

everything filled out for me?

The search continues for the man

or men responsible

for the seemingly random shootings

across the D.C. area.

Authorities now suggest that

the killers may be traveling

in a white van or truck, putting

suburban Washington on alert.

The death toll now

stands at five confirmed.

- Here you go.

- Oh, thank you.

Other incidents

also possibly related.

Oh, sorry.

It's all right.

911. What is your emergency?

I think someone's been

hurt in our parking lot.

There's a woman there standing by,

and someone else is running over.

Ma'am, where is the person now?

She's in the parking lot.

It looks like the girl

just went and shot herself.

She killed herself

sitting on the bench here.

What's going on there?

I think this guy's lawn mower

fell on him or something, man.

It's like it sliced him up, maybe.

I don't know.

He's bleeding real bad. He's a mess.

Ma'am, I need you to stay

inside your vehicle.

911. What's your emergency?

Um, we have a lady shot

in our parking lot.

I'm at the gas station on

Aspen Hill, and a man just fell.

- Is he bleeding?

- He's laying there.

Get away from the

This woman was just bleeding

when I got there

There had been a gunshot.

They think all this is permanent.

They don't realize the house

of cards they're living in.

All it will take is a little push.

A few bodies.

Well more than a few bodies.

Maybe five.

6 a day for 30 days.

Really get their attention.

Random targets.

Well, not random targets.

We want to keep them scared.

We want them to stay scared.

It has to get worse.

When they think it's men,

kill a woman.

But when they think it's women,

kill a kid.

And when they think it's kids,

kill a pregnant woman,

a Grandma, a cop.

At the cop's funeral plant a bomb.

Lots of bombs.

Blow up a whole bus full of cops.

They'd have to call in

the National Guard then.

Total chaos.

The system comes down.

Oh god! Oh, my god!

Ma'am! Listen to me. What is wrong?

A man has been killed in

front of me! Oh, god!

Ma'am, calm down.

How did he die, ma'am?

I don't know! I don't know.

We'll pick a spot in the woods,

up into Canada,

start a training camp.

We'll find other kids like you

and teach them,

send them to other cities

to do what we did.

Philadelphia Saint Louis

Atlanta Detroit New York

Until there's hysteria

everywhere.

The beauty is

even if we lose,

we still wake people up.

We still win. We still win.

Watch your head.

All clear.

Got one.

Clear.

Lost him.

Guy with the beige suit?

The satchel?

Got him.

Ready?

Go.

Go.

Hey.

Your watch.

Oh, my goodness.

Morning.

Oh, morning.

Anyone else in the vehicle with you?

Oh, it's my son. Uh, I just picked

him up from camp late last night.

There's no overnight parking

in the rest area.

Did you see the signs?

No. No, I didn't, sir.

No, it was dark when we got here.

Oh.

I'll let you go with

a warning this time.

I see you here again,

I'll write you a ticket.

Oh, absolutely, absolutely.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you. I appreciate that.

Dispatch, about that 1038,

I think I've got something here.

Copy that. Stay where you are.

Aspen Hill city police.

This line is recorded.

Good morning.

Don't say anything, just listen.

We're the people that are causing

the killings in your area.

We've called you three times

before to set up negotiations.

We got no response.

People have died.

Is that your voice?

'Cause it, um, doesn't sound

like your voice.

Did he tell you to say those things?

Can I ask you that?

Okay, let's talk about

your victims then, hmm?

The people that you killed.

How do you feel about them?

So, what about this one, hmm?

He was, um

I think he was pumping gas, right?

Just pumping gas

with his back to you.

It was more of a diagonal.

Sideways.

Sideways?

Like this.

You know? Twisted his body.

Couldn't get a body shot.

You couldn't get a body shot,

so you shot him in the head?

You must be a pretty good shot.

Decent.

Now, everybody's saying --

the media -- they're saying that

these killings are senseless,

that they're meaningless.

But there's got to be a meaning.

There's got to be a reason.

Was it for money?

Was it for revenge?

Was it some kind of belief?

If you're not gonna answer me,

how are leading me?

Since you're asking me

so many questions

Can I ask you a question now?

Sure. Ask me anything you want.

Where's my father?

Open two cell. Come on out.
