Vantage Point Page #3

Christ.

Sir, we've used doubles since Reagan.

Photo ops not printing this bit. (?)

Control, we have Potus and

we're moving to the castle.

Eagle has arrived at the Plaza.

Control, we have Potus and

are entering the castle.

Sir? -Talk to me, Phil.

NSA called about 5

minutes ago, it's real.

And the summit? -We're not

thinking of pulling out entirely.

Why would we?

Do we know who's behind this?

-It looks like a local group

with some sort of a vague connection

to the mujahedeen brigade.

-Why issue the threat now?

-Couple of weeks ago,

US special forces uncovered a plot to

smuggle a dirty bomb out of Morocco.

We took their bomb, and their men,

and this may be their retaliation.

They try to kill me

as a retaliation?

Potus is moving.

Safe for Eagle to exit vehicle.

-Copy that.

This is them? -That's Suarez.

As far as we can tell,

he leads the group.

What do we know about him?

He's from Morocco,

educated in Paris.

He went off the map for a while,

but he surfaced in Beirut.

Couple of days ago, we intercepted an

e-mail between members of this group.

Embedded in it were links to

the maps, blueprints of the area.

It wasn't untill this morning

that we received the threat.

You talked to joined chiefs,

what do they recommend?

That we go after their leadership.

-Here in Spain?

Morocco.

We have a satellite locked

on one of their camps there.

You want me to call in a strike

on a friendly arab nation?

They are harboring terrorists.

Is this intel certain? -Absolutely.

Control, we're clear on 7.

Why aren't we focusing on the ones who are

here and are actually doing this? -We are.

-This summit is too important.

-I know that sir,

but we're looking for five people

out of six million.

We are trying. -Try harder.

Welcome.

This is a wondrous day.

Today we make history.

He doesn't even look like me.

Senor presidente, fellow members

of the European Union,

president Ashton,

and citizens of the world,

it is with great pleasure that I

invite you all to our humble city.

Is that Thomas? -Yes, sir.

I thought he was still inactive.

-He was.

Well if he's back,

why isn't he with me?

We're checking if he's ready.

-You sent him out there.

-We need someone to sell the double.

Sell? He took a bullet for me, Phil.

And look at him.

He doesn't stop

punishing himself since.

Look, I liked him every bit as much

as you did, but we needed to know

we can count on him again,

before we put him on your detail.

So you threw him out there

to see if he's good?

Is that what you do

to your friends now?

Therefore, I offer you my city,

my heart and my hope.

This summit can very well be the

defining moment for this presidency.

Jesus.

The president appears to

have been shot. -My God!

I heard two shots,

and the president fell.

Get the joined chiefs

on the line, now.

Mr president. -Sir.

Mr president, chiefs have

a satellite lock on their village.

They are ready and waiting.

Ted? -Well, there is an issue

of when we can go.

We go now.

You can't give the order.

You've been shot.

If we go now, we risk telling the world

that you weren't really there.

But I weren't there.

We get the vice-president to do it.

No, we're not going there

on a 25th amendment.

Tell Rick to work up a story

that I was shot, but I'm OK.

That's not gonna fly. -If we have to go

to some hospital and put on a show,

that's what we're gonna do.

We're not sitting this one out.

-Sir, we have to talk about this...

-I'm done talking!

Christ!

Sir, we gotta go now!

We have to attack. Sir?

Find out what the hell

is going on down there.

Mr president...

Tell them to stand down.

-Sir, we have to respond.

Bombing a camp in Morocco would

blow this summit out of the water

and that is exactly what the

bombers want us to do.

-Mr president, we have to act strong.

-No, we have to be strong.

They sent us a warning because

they want us to react.

They know our playbook, they are

banking on us doing what we always do.

We will hit back. We have the world's

sympathy right now, that's...

Honor that. Let's finish

what we came here to do.

OK, copy that. Sir, everything is being

prepared to transport the president.

Alright, that's it, we need to get the

president to Airforce 1, right now.

I'm done hiding, Phil.

This is the president, is my wife there?

We have to be better than this. -Sir.

-Yeah, get Airforce 1 ready, and

send a chopper... -Hey, it's me.

No, we're fine, we're safe.

Good morning, America.

It's now twelve, noon,

in Salamanca, Spain.

I am standing inside Plaza Major

in Salamanca, Spain.

This is for good luck.

I want to know if he's okay.

This was taken 15 minutes ago,

I think you'll find that we're

taking good care of your brother.

What have you done to him?

He's still in one piece,

you should be happy about that.

If you do what you're supposed to do

your brother will be fine, but if you fail,

then this will be the last thing

you have to remember him.

You look after yourself.

I'll be at the underpass.

Louis. Stick with the protestors.

They never see this side of the story.

To the last detail.

The beauty of American arrogance

is that they cannot imagine a world

where they're not a step ahead.

Recepcion.

Control, we have Potus and

are entering the castle.

Copy that.

Eagle has arrived at the Plaza.

Javier. -Yeah.

-Are you in the position?

-I'm on my way. -Good.

For the moment americans think

they've dodged the bullet,

do not be late.

-Don't worry about me.

I won't. Your brother spoke very highly

of your Special forces training.

Do not disappoint him.

You just make sure my brother

will be at the underpass.

How's our boy doing?

Are we go?

There he is.

What are you seeing?

I think it's my cue.

-Yeah, it was nice to meet you.

-Best of luck.

Let's make ourselves a shooter.

That should keep him occupied.

Javier, are you ready?

Eagle is down!

Let's go, move it!

-Control room clear.

-Do you have the frequency?

Control. Come in, control.

We need a 20 on Potus.

Control. Come in, control.

Control!

Take care of him.

Lets go.

This is control, there are agents down.

I repeat, agents down.

We have a situation at the front

requiring immediate backup.

Heading to the lobby to assist.

Move, move, move!

Things clear on 7.

Get airforce 1 ready and send a

chopper so we can get outta here.

No, we're fine, we're safe.

Get up! Get up!

Multiple casualties, I repeat,

multiple casualties.

Hey!

We need your help... now.

C'mon.

He's got no pulse.

Secret service. I need to see

your tapes. -Yeah...

I need to see any footage you have

of the back part of the Plaza.

OK. Give me footage of the

back part of Plaza on 2.

Again...

two... again!

Washington, this is agent Barnes.

-Go ahead.

Control is down, my partner

is in pursuit of a suspect.

We need immediate assistance.

Just outside the back annex.

Copy that. Give me a heading.

Headed west on a (?) street.

Do you copy?

Heading west, copy that.
