Man over radio: 131, this is dispatch. Go ahead.
Man: This is 131. We have a male, mid-50s,
with burns over 9% to 9.5% of his body.
Prior to our arrival on scene, patient apparently doused his head,
neck and face with some sort of highly-concentrated acid.
The patient's airway is severely compromised due to fume inhalation.
Vital signs unstable.
Please advise- patient is a criminal suspect.
We're coming in with a police escort right now.

Hi.
Can I talk to him?

All right.
Jesus.
Can I just have a few minutes with him?

( paper rustling )
( sighs )
We want to know who you are.
We'll find out, you know, sooner or later.
So just save us some legwork by communicating with us now.
Are you a Satanist?
Are you involved in some kind of cult?
'Cause if there's others involved, we'll get them.
We'll find them, believe me.

I’m gonna need a medical backup.
( wind rushing )
Jesus, Mary, Joseph.
Man: Somebody help!
President Reagan: There is sin and evil in the world,
and we're enjoined by Scripture and the Lord Jesus
to oppose it with all our might.
Our nation, too, has a legacy of evil with which it must deal.
The glory of this land has been its capacity
for transcending the moral evils of our past.
Alexis de Tocqueville put it eloquently
after he had gone on a search for the secret
of America's greatness and genius-
when he said: "Not until I went into the churches of America
and heard her pulpits aflame with righteousness
did I understand the greatness and the genius of America. "
America is good.
And if America ever ceases to be good-

Just some kids from school.
Where do you go to school anyway? I’ve never seen you-
Owen, listen.
What?
You have to hit back.
You have to hit back hard.
I can't.
- There's three of them. - Then you hit back even harder.
Hit them harder than you dare
and then they'll stop.
What if they hit me back?
You have a knife.
