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?

Yeah, you too.

-Tell your name. -Anna.

-That's a pretty name.

You look about the same

age as my son Nathan.

Can I buy her another cone?

-Oh, no, it's okay. Thank you.

-No, really, it's no problema.

No, thank you very much.

Anna, I'm sorry.

... president Ashton.

Welcome.

Thank you so much for being here.

This is a wondrous day.

Today we make history.

It is with great pleasure that I

invite you all to our humble city.

The hopes of the world are with us.

We must act together.

What is happening?

What's he doing?

Get him out of here!

-Let me go! -What the hell

were you doing up there?

-Answer my god damn question!

-Veronica!

Veronica!

We have to go!

Please, listen to me!

-Calm down.

-We have to go!

-Wait... -Step away, sir.

-She threw something!

-A gun. It's loaded.

-Hey, back up! -Listen to me,

he's telling the truth!

Veronica! Veronica!

Hi, leave a message.

-Bev, it's me.

You're gonna see on the news

when you wake up in the morning,

that the president has been shot.

He was here, in Spain.

And I think I just saw

the guy who did it.

Look, I'm all right, I just

want you to let the kids know

that I'm fine, and that I love

them very much and...

and I think I got it all on tape.

I don't know what to do...

Sir, we need your camera. -Sure.

-Where's the zoom?

-Press this button right here.

That's... that's where the flutter was.

The shot was up, to the left.

-You saw the shooter?

-I saw something, like a flash of light.

It was... right there, there was

something in that window right there!

-I saw a man in that window, sir.

-I'll go 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!

Medics! We need medics here!

Anna!

Anna!

Where is your mother?

Where is she?

I gotta get you somewhere safe,

then we'll find your mother.

I need your help. I need you

to watch her, okay? All right?

Her mother is gone,

I don't know where she is.

-She'll be safe with me, don't worry.

-I'll be right back, all right?

I'll be right back. Wait for me.

-Take me with you!

I got to help the police.

Just stay with this lady

and I'll be back when I find your mom.

I'll be right back, okay? I swear.

I'll be right back.

Get out the way!

Mom?

Police! Get out the way!

Police! Move!

Police! Police!

He's a cop.

Freeze!

They shot him.

They shot him.

Mom!

Anna!

Mom! Mom!

When exactly do you think

the changes will be ready?

It's not like I have to

make the speech now.

I suppose I can just wing it, how much

trouble can I really get myself into?
