When was this sketch released?

Ten-forty-eight.

Somebody is drawing fast.

The L.A. Police department

has just released...

this composite sketch

of the suspected assassin.

At Veterans Hospital,

the atmosphere... utter disbelief.

It appears no one except

the first lady has been wounded.

With me

is Victoria Constantini...

a doctor at Veterans Hospital

and an eyewitness.

Can you tell us what you saw?

I was videotaping

the first lady's arrival...

when I heard a shot

come from behind me.

I turned around, and I thought

I saw a man on that roof...

but everyone

was staring at the other roof.

In all the confusion,

I might have made a mistake...

but I'm pretty sure

I saw a man on that roof.

We could be talking

about multiple shooters.

Chief!

A bartender swears John Doe

is at Sixth and Main.

Sixth and Main, people!

Let's move!

I think we have a problem,

Sergeant.

Maybe that's all she got.

No. There.

She changed the tapes

before you got to her.

Son of a b*tch.

F***!

I have a brief statement...

which will hopefully

answer your questions.

We are asking shopkeepers...

in the immediate vicinity

of the shooting...

to examine

their surveillance cameras...

for sightings of the suspect

prior to the shooting.

We are also asking citizens

who may have taped the event...

to allow us to examine

those tapes.

Simply call

your FBI main number...

and someone

will retrieve the materials.

You mean kill your ass.

Everybody who witnessed

the Kennedy assassination...

is dead.

If I had a tape, I'd burn it.

...numerous federal agencies

joining this manhunt.

The military will be taking over

the investigation.

F*** it.

Sh*t.

City and listing.

Los Angeles, FBI, please.

The number you requested

is area code 310-264-45...

Paging Dr. Sean Thompson.

Damn!

Paging Dr. Bhagavad Nahavarata.

Sh*t!

Paging Dr. Gordy, Dr. Jay Gordy.

Thank you!

I'm sorry.

I didn't know you were here.

Are you OK?

I have questionnaires the boys

from the 82nd filled out.

File them. Someone

will do a follow-up someday.

Thanks.

This is a composite sketch

of our suspect.

He's armed

and extremely dangerous.

If you see anyone

resembling him...

call the police immediately.

You guys got any laundry

for the basement?

Hold that elevator!

Thanks.

Administration's

on the main floor, right?

Commander Goldstine?

Commander Goldstein.

I'm General Adam Woodward...

United States Army

82nd division...

here by order of the President

of the United States.

We got office space for you

downstairs.

How about these?

These are my offices.

Captain,

have the men set up here.

Lieutenant Scruggs!

You know the drill.

Commander Goldstine.

All right, people.

You heard the general.

Hop to it!

I want checkpoints

and video surveillance.

Set them at five-mile intervals

throughout the city.

Your chopper fleet

will be under my command.

All eyewitnesses are to be

interviewed by my team.

Is that understood?

Sure. We'll pass that down.

What about the press?

Up to me, I'd hang them all.

You will handle the press.

Right.

Don't make a sound.

Do exactly what I say.

Do you understand?

Open the door.

Let's go inside.

You live alone?

I have a boyfriend.

He's a cop.

You don't have a boyfriend.

How do you know?

There's five empty buckets

of Haagen-Dazs in your trash...

your legs are stubbly...

and your hair color

needs a touch-up.

You were there.

All I want is the tape.

It's in my purse.

You bastard!

What is wrong with you?

Next time,

try reading the label.

Give me the tape.

I'm tired of f***ing around

with you.

You see that man?

That's the shooter.

New information tonight

about the suspect...

known up to this point

only as John Doe.

Police have identified

the suspected assailant...

as James Anthony Dunn.

He is an escaped convict.

Police have found Dunn's prints

on the murder weapon.

I was in prison.

Let me guess...

for murder?

What do you think,

this is funny?

You think this is a joke?

I'm just scared.

Let's get you some water.

Come on.

That looks good.

I haven't had a piece

in five years.

Got to have a taste.

This is good.

You'd be surprised what you miss

when you're locked up.

What's that smell?

It's ammonium nitrate.

Where is your dog?

I don't have a dog.

We got to get out.

Move it!

Issue a memo

to all news stations...

reminding them there's

a gag order on the media...

and if that tape shows,

I wish to be first to see it.

Why are they trying to kill me?

They're just tying up

loose ends.

They must have seen you on TV.

Why are you stopping?

There's a roadblock.

Turn around.

I can't.

You never saw me.

I never saw you.

We're looking for this man.

Have you seen him?

He was in my car.

He tried to kidnap me.

He got out over there.

Dunn was in this lady's car!

Sergeant, run those plates.

Never saw me? Drive.

Patrol one and two, come in.

This is patrol one.

Patrol two.

Go ahead, command.

Suspect has been spotted

at checkpoint one.

Suspect vehicle

is a champagne-colored Volvo...

California license plate

2-Sierra-Alpha-Mike-5-6-4.

Slow down.

Turn off your lights.

Stop.

Just go straight.

Follow the riverbed.

The car

belongs to Victoria Constantini.

That's impossible.

She's supposed to be dead.

Supposed to be dead?

Your orders

are to get that videotape.

I couldn't find the tape,

so I thought...

You thought?

You're not to think.

You're to follow orders.

And because you did not...

an innocent civilian

may be dead.

We're not killers.

We are soldiers.

The only time you will kill

is if given an order to kill.

Is that understood?

We have a witness that refuses

to sign a statement.

What do we do with him?

Kill him.

Patrol one and two,

what's your status?

Negative.

Nothing.

You have him boxed in.

You should have a visual.

Captain Braddock, how's

the fishing in the L.A. River?

I understand.

Marines train their troops well.

Chopper one,

drag the riverbed.

Turn off the lights.

Wait here.

A**hole.

Nine-one-one.

May I help you?

What are you doing?

Give me that!

- Just don't kill me.

- Have I hurt you?

You bring me

to the middle of nowhere...

I saved your life.

I'm sick of this.

Get out.

You want to do this

by yourself? Go!

I'm sure they'll use

a smaller bomb next time.

Thought so.

They searched the riverbed

and found some tire marks.

They did not recover a vehicle.

I'll set up a perimeter,

start a door-to-door search.

Wake up all those nice people?

I have a better way

to flush him out.

You can call our friend,

tell him I'm about to come over.

What is this place?

An old marine base.

Did my sniper training here.

It was closed down

after the budget cuts.

Let me have that.

Stand over there.

This place is filthy.

Are there any rats here?

I hope so.

We might get hungry.

Where's your telephone?

- In my bag.

- I'll get it.

Wouldn't want another

Charlie's Angels flashback.

It was a gift from my mother.
