I think Teddy Roosevelt said it best.

"If I must choose between | righteousness and peace...

...I choose righteousness. "

She was 25 years old. | She was a child.

She was a casualty of war.

Mr. President!

Get him out of here.

Thank you, son.

Just stay easy.

Stay easy. I'm right here.

Hold on.

There's absolutely no truth | to any of those rumors.

At no time was President Neil | planning to resign.

Here's what we know so far:

The murderer of Carla Town is dead.

He was killed as he fired upon | authorities arresting him.

In that same gun battle...

...National Security Advisor | Alvin Jordan...

...and Senior Secret Service Agent | Nicholas Spikings...

...were also killed.

Did the killer penetrate the White House | with the objective of killing Miss Town?

In 180 years, there's never been | a penetration of the White House.

President and Mrs. Neil | will have a statement later.

Thank you very much.

Call D.C. Homicide, tell them the | detective is on his way to the hospital.

Paramedics say he'll be fine.

How is she?

She's stable.

You saved my life.

Thank you.

And detective...

...how can I ever repay you?

Don't bother.

Just doing my job.

Well, there is one thing.

Yes, detective?

You know the Interstate | Commerce Commission?

Sure, Secretary Randall's office | is down the street.

Down the street?

See? It's not what you know, | it's who you know.

What are you doing for dinner?
