Q:Build a movie plot around this: Where did the doctor report that he had seen Scorpio? In the ER

The film opens with a scrolling shot of a marble wall: a tribute to all the officers killed in the line of duty in the city of San Francisco.The shot of the wall fades into the silenced barrel of a rifle, and a long, dark-haired Caucasian man staring down it. Through the scope and the cross-hairs, we see his target: a young, beautiful blond woman, swimming in a rooftop pool.

Harry angrily responds that he's been sitting on his ass in the mayor's office, then lays out the plan of investigation so far. Lt.
