Vantage Point Page #2

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?

-For the most part, hopefull.

Certainly, everyone here

is very sympathetic

to those who lost loved ones

in a recent bombing.

Thanks.

For what?

For getting me back out here.

Don't thank me yet.

Mr president, here we go.

What a beautiful baby.

Thank you so much.

A wonderful day.

Hey! Drop it.

All clear, number five.

Thank you so much for being here.

This is a wondrous day.

Today we make history.

Senor presidente,

fellow members of the European Union,

our friends from Africa,

president Ashton,

and citizens of the world.

This is a great day that

I invite you all to our town...

And it is the sad part

that we must...

Back annex building should've been cleared.

-Copy, it'll be cleared.

I've got a flutter on a second floor,

seventh window from the left.

Copy. We'll check again.

It's just a fan someone left on.

We got it.

Therefore, I offer you my city,

my heart and my hope.

Barnes!

Barnes!

-Please. -Get him out of here,

get him out of here!

Move, move, lets go!

One, two three!

-You got him?

Find that shooter.

Control, I want to clear (?) half block out.

Clear all the buildings along the back annex.

No one goes out or in without our go.

OK, you got him?

Control. Come in, control.

We need a 20 on Potus.

Control. Come in, control.

Damn it!

Listen to me!

Listen to me!

We have to get out of here!

There's a bomb!

-Barnes!

Why did you run to the president?

Why did you run to the president?

Barnes!

I have to protect the mayor. It's my job.

-You got up there pretty fast.

-Barnes, he's a cop.

-I don't care, he knows something!

Get him out of here!

Don't release him!

-It's a set up!

Control! Control, come in.

There's no response from control.

-I just spoke with them.

-Do we find that shooter (?)

-This never should've happened.

Except that it did.

And it happened on our watch.

I can't live with that.

We better find him.

Sir, we need your camera. -Sure.

Where's the zoom? -Right here.

Right there, that's where the flutter was.

The shot was up, to the left.

You saw the shooter? -No.

But I saw something

like flash of light.

A saw a man in that window, sir.

-I'll check it out.

I'm coming with you. -No, no!

If you're wrong,

let me take the heat.

Sir, did you film this entire thing?

-Yes. -Show me.

I think I have a shooter on tape.

Go forward.

Oh my God!

Oh my God!

There's a bomb in the podium!

-This never should've happened.

-Find that shooter.

A flash of light.

Find that shooter.

Jesus, Barnes!

Medics! We need medics here!

Take it easy now, buddy.

Barnes...

Hey, hey, stop him!

Stop him! Stop! Stop!

Hey, freeze!

Secret service. I need to see

your tapes. -Yes, Kevin...
