Vantage Point Page #4

Synopsis: The President of the United States is in Salamanca, Spain, about to address the city in a public square. We see a plain-clothes cop, his girlfriend with another man, a mother and child, an American tourist with a video camera, and a Secret Service agent newly returned from medical leave. Shots ring out and the President falls; a few minutes later, we hear a distant explosion, then a bomb goes off in the square. Those minutes are retold, several times, emphasizing different characters' actions. Gradually, we discover who's behind the plot. Is the Secret Service one step ahead, or have the President's adversaries thought of everything?

Back up is on it's...

What? Barnes, what is it?

Barnes?

Oh my God!

No. If you're wrong,

let me take the heat.

Barnes, you were right. -About what?

-About the shooter.

I'm in pursuit lead at the

back annex, heading west.

Barnes, what is it?

Barnes!

Secret service, get out of the car!

Washington. -This is Burnes.

-Go ahead.

Look, I know how this is gonna sound,

but agent Taylor has gone rogue. -What?

You gotta call in other agents back.

I know I made the call, but there's

something else going on here.

Control is compromised.

Listen to me, damn it!

God damn it!

Let him go.

What are you talking about?

-My brother.

I've done my part,

now you let him go.

-Put the gun down.

-Make the call,

or I pull the trigger

and your plan is finished.

Again.

Go ahead. Do it.

Do it and your brother is dead.

Can you live with that?

Knowing that your brother

died because of you.

Javier, listen to me.

He is going to be delivered

at the underpass.

Don't mess it up now.

You'll get your brother back.

Nothing...

nothing...

had better happened to him.

Doesn't matter (?).

Sh*t.

This is agent Barnes again.

I've lost agent Taylor, I need a GPS

location on his cellular. -Copy that.

We did it.

Not yet.

Mommy!

Yeah! -Barnes, Potus

has been abducted.

Present location unknown.

No signal for Taylor's phone.

It's imperative we locate

and apprehend Taylor.

Son of a b*tch.

-He fell down.

-Leave him.

It's me.

-They bought it.

-What about Barnes?

He took the bait.

He's pissing in the wind.

He has created a manhunt for

a shooter that doesn't exist.

Have you got Javier?

We may need him later.

I'm on my way.

I thought he was

supposed to be dead.

We need to tie up

all of the loose ends.

Who is the loose end?

You are.

Lets go, lets go!

This is agent Barnes,

I've located Taylor.

He's driving Salamanca police

vehicle, registration S-073654.

Headed south, repeat, south.

Just get me to my brother.

Christ, it's Barnes.

We got company.

It's Barnes.

-Can you lose him?

-I'm working on it.

C'mon, c'mon!

Sh*t!

-Have you lost him?

-I'm still working on it.

Well, untill you do, stay clear

of the rendez-vous. All right?

-No, we're gonna go (?).

-You heard what he said.

I'm picking up my brother.

Are you out of your mind?

I worked too hard for this.

Either you're coming with me,

or I'll drive myself. You choose.

Sh*t.

Oh, sh*t!

Sh*t! Get him off my ass.

Happy?

Just drive.

-Where's my brother?

-Surprised to see me alive?

-Where is Veronica?

-Veronica said that...

I don't care what she said!

You both tried to kill me.

Where's my brother?

Where is my brother?

Looks like we've both been set up.

Mom!

Come on, lets go!

Where is he?

Where is he?

Back off.

Lets go, lets go, c'mon!

I will ask you again.

Where's my brother?

Go to hell.

Freeze!

Give me my brother!

He's dead.

God damn you! You used me!

I trusted you,

you son of a b*tch!

Who's got Potus?

You're too late, Thom.

Why the f*** did you do this?

You can't stop us.

No one can stop it.

This war will never end.

What have you done?

Who's got the president? Kent!

Stop him!

Get him under control!

Stop him!

Mom?

Mom?

Anna!

Mom!

Anna!

No! Don't kill him!

Look out!

Mom!

Jesus Christ.

Anna!

Mr president?

Barnes, is that you?

Mr president.

I've got you.

Can you sit up?

Are you injured? -Yeah.

But it's not important.

This is agent Thomas Barnes.

Potus is in hand.

I repeat, Potus is in hand.

We need a pick-up seven

blocks east of the Plaza.

Hello? -Oh, thank God. Howard,

are you okay? Are you hurt?

-No, I'm... -Are you sure?

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

-We got your message.

Are you sure you're alright?

Yeah! No, I'm... I'm fine.

-I'm fine. -Kids were really

concerned about you...

Thank you, Thomas.

You're welcome, sir.

Reports out of Salamanca now suggest

that the president is out of intensive care.

His condition is listed as stable.

President Ashton has made a point of

reassuring americans that he's alright,

and that summit will

continue in days to come.

Meanwhile, word from spanish

and the US authorities

is that they shot and killed

the lone assasin

responsible for today's attack.

On that our John McKendrick has more.
