Fugitive Detective Reviews Manhunt Scenes, from 'Joker' to 'Thelma & Louise' | Vanity Fair

this is Chris Anderson a retired fugitive investigator who spent 25 years hunting down violent criminals most of the guys that we look for we're usually murders robbers bank robbers they ran the gamut of the most violent crimes that we have in our society today today chris is going to review some of Hollywood's greatest mandoline seeds to determine what they get right and wrong [Music] so today we will be looking at some clips these clips will be of movies that we've all seen heard of and we'll talk about how some of those clips relate to real life due to the investigative experience and some of it relates to more movie magic first up Joker in this scene cops are chasing the Joker through the sea I've seen that happen so many times it's ridiculous some of the guys can get up and go right back to running just like a 30 and then some of them can't as a fugitive investigator this is probably your worst nightmare the person that you're pursuing gets on a crowded train and everyone is in some way almost dressed alike but you still have to pursue that person you have to find some way to take that person into custody because now he knows that you are after him I would never pull my weapon out in the place where I didn't have as much control as possible as fugitive investigators we trained to have your gun down at low ready close to your body where you can have as much control over it as possible you don't go through a train full of people in a huge crowd with your weapon pointed out in front of you that's a tactical error [Music] [Applause] you see where that tactical error caused him to be jumped on by the citizens that are inside of that train who really don't know that these guys are cops and they are doing what they know in order to keep themselves from being his next victim they take him down and take his weapon and they begin to plum whim but that mistake is what causes the Joker who's the fugitive in this case to get away next up here today and this scene Tommy Lee Jones chases Harrison Ford the fugitive through a very crowded substation Tommy Lee Jones to me is the is the perfect example in this role of what a fugitive investigator he is and a brass and a cocky extremely confident in everything that he does and that's the type of mindset that you need [Music] in a fugitive investigator that sees a person that he's investigating or sees a convict that he's looking for if he's worth his salt he's gonna pursue him he should pursue him that's a part of the job there have been plenty of vehicle chases there have been plenty of foot chases that I've been involved in but I don't chase him nearly as far as I did back when I was much younger [Music] man a flip-up Club waving a gun screaming at a woman I could see that happening guys someone that looks normal doesn't look like he could be into anything he comes out and sees there's a guy - screaming at a female that didn't you see a guy screaming you know you're gonna automatically respond so that's not a stretch of the imagination that is a scratch that should not happen in 1985 Tennessee versus garner the Supreme Court ruled that no officer can use lethal force in order to subdue or take into custody a fleeing fugitive you shouldn't see an officer firing a weapon at a person who's simply running away from it that shouldn't happen next up the legend of Billie Jean [Music] you just said you let her walk on man in this scene police confront a person they think is Billie Jean [Applause] as you can see in this scene there is a possible hostage in play hostage taking is something that goes with the territory I mean you have to be ready for it as a fugitive investigator because that's where your tactical mindset should come into play because whatever you have a fugitive you want to take that person into custody where you'll have the least amount of casualties the fact that law enforcement is allowing all of these people to crowd up on a beach that's not gonna happen you know if we have our tactical unit in place out in an area that could be crowded with a bunch of citizens you want to negate any outside influences so they would have had those folks wait way back and not even having the officers in the line of fire so for this situation this clip is an anchor the tactical officer for the Sharpshooter he has the right to use lethal force because he's using it in the protection of another person so that portion of the scene is not too far-fetched to believe it can't happen and it has happened next up dirty air in this scene Dirty Harry a detective is pursuing a fugitive who's just hijacked a bus when I look at this clip I see dirty hair and he's pursuing this guy alone that's something that in this day and time that does not happen you got yourself this convict or this fugitive and he has about 10 to 15 potential hostages so that you don't want that [Applause] in a situation like this the proper protocol will be to back off give this person some space hopefully the bus will break down and run out of gas or he'll stop someway we'll get him stopped maybe even blow out the tires on the bus just to get him stopped but what you don't want to have is him with 15 potential hostages inside of the bus really he's putting the lives of the kids in danger [Music] at the end of this clip you see the fugitive jump from the back of the bus and that's probably the best thing that you could hope for now all the kids are in a place where they are safe and away from him and you could begin your pursuit there from next up catch me if you can and this scene the fugitive tricks law enforcement into believin that he's not the guy you know he's got over 200 checks here drafting he has little payroll envelopes to ask himself put it down relax you're late alright my name is Alan Barry Allen United States Secret Service your boy just tried to jump out the window my partner has them in custody I don't know what you're talking about in a case like this sent in this time I could imagine that happen probably more than most types want to even admit to you know now most investigations are more technology-based we would have stacks and stacks of intel on the person we were pursuing and that Intel would have picture after picture after picture after picture but during this time these guys were barely taking photographs you know they they didn't have access to the type of technology we have take a look outside look look out the window my partner's walking him to the car as we speak look Olga was pissing his pants when I came to the door he jumped right to the window onto the hood of my car hey Murph yeah call the LAPD again I don't want people walking through my crime scene when Leonardo cools Tom Hanks over to the window and says look my partner is walking him out the window you know how that just doesn't happen yeah I would have questions as to why is this joke a night in handcuffs you know why do you why you walking them out to a car I wouldn't a cop back then so I don't know what the mindsets were back then but if I think about it now it doesn't resonate LAPD should be here any SEC wait wallet you hang on to it for me I trust you most cops don't want to let any case get personal but email when you a fugitive investigator your pride you the ability to investigate cases you know part of you is woven into your DNA to catch that person [Music] so yeah I could see you're getting a little pissed off about I could did very pissed off about it next up Batman Louise she wants to talk to you and this same an investigator was trying to get the fugitives to turn themselves in weird we got some kind of us snowball effect happening here something you're still with us though despite what most people think there are there have been quite a few times where the fugitive will call into police and talk to him I personally have had fugitives to contact me and I've talked to them over the phone and try to get them to turn themselves in sometimes it works sometimes it didn't but you have to at least try I know what's making you I know what happened in taxes always the investigator in this case is trying to get bail man Louise to surrender themselves without any harm and what he's doing is he's trying to draw on something that she's connected to emotionally to make a start realizing that hey maybe turning myself in may be the best thing so here is something that's very very important and this is actually right you always want to try to have as much of a connection with the person that you are trying to take into custody as possible because it could be important it could save the lives of a private citizen alive of an officer or the lives of the people that you're trying to take into custody cannot do so I'm the only known service no I don't want anybody losing their heads you know what happens if I'm gets turned way up the next thing you know these girls going get shot at the end of this clip what you're seeing are the two sides of an investigator see you have the negotiator that wants to go and try to talk Thelma and Louise to inter turning themselves in but you have also the tactical side of the office that wants to go in take them down by any means necessary next up side of corn The Bourne Ultimatum and this seemed born the fugitive House March the cops who's waiting for him to arrive to a location Noah vosen this is Jason Bourne I was wondering when you were going to make this call what most people don't know is this does happen there are times where you have a fugitive who is almost taunting police he'll call you'll talk to him he'll tell them that he's not turning himself in which we've had that before and and you know he'll hang up before a certain amount of time you know because they think the phone's may be traced or something to that effect where are you now I'm sitting in my office I doubt that why would you doubt that if you were in your office right now we'd be having this conversation face-to-face this word gets a little bit far-fetched because Jason Bourne is a nice five he's been trained in these tactics as a fugitive you never want to go to the police dish to break into the police station so yeah I won't say I can see this happening but you know I can see why television made it this way this is a code ten abort I want everyone back in the vehicles as a coq10 abort what we just saw is the law enforcement calling it a cold teen and telling everybody to abort what we will say this is I've got a lot we need everybody that can hear the sound of my voice to respond to this location we call it a double lock double zero next up first of all Boondock Saints I'd like to thank whichever one of you doughnut munching barrel asked putt pulling sissies leak this to the press I have friends of mine that are in the press and they will call about information from time to time just to see whether or not they can talk to somebody about it or if I know something about it and I don't leak information because as an investigator you want to keep as much information private as possible because fugitives read newspapers the more information you give to the press the more they print the further ahead he gets away from you these two are not heroes and just two ordinary men who were put in an extraordinary situation and they just happen to come out on top yes nothing from our far-reaching computer system has turned up diddly on these two all we know is what we found out from the neighbors and the general consensus is they're angels the lead investigator in this case is given Intel to these guys that are out there looking for these two fugitives you know he's telling them that hey I do think that they are dangerous I don't know if their arms that's vital information so what you want investigated you want them to have as much information as possible if they're going to bring this person into custody safely this kid like two little bunny rabbits anything in the uniform or flashing blue lights is gonna spook them okay so the only thing we can do is put a potato on a string and drag it through South Boston thanks for coming out she'd probably have better luck there this has happened to me before I had a homicide suspect that I was looking for for about three or four days after the murder happened I've done everything investigatively that I could do and one night I was working late going back over some paperwork looking over some notes and I get a call from our front desk and they said I had a visitor I walked downstairs and lo and behold my suspect is sitting in the front of our building he's injured himself so he decided to turn himself in to me and I took him into custody last up u.s. marshals in this scene the US Marshal chases the fugitive who's been accused of committing a double murder after chasing someone into a position where you think you have them in custody the next thing as an investigator you should be thinking about is making sure you can get him into custody safely making sure he doesn't fall or if he doesn't commit suicide he doesn't jump off the side of the building but the main thing is you want to get him to turn around you want to get him out that ledge get him in the safe position where you can take him into custody catch [Music] in my career I have seen cases where guys are willing to do whatever it is to escape from being arrested one guy that I had he jumped off a five-story building and broke both of his legs his hip and I think he cracked a couple of his vertebrae was it worth it no he'll never walk again but I guess it went to the Snipes case yeah flying outside the building was what he wanted to do me as an investigator I would have definitely let him go I'm not pursuing him down decided no feeling we'll catch him another time let's go on let's move on to the next case when you see wesley snipes character who's the fugitive jumped from the building and then jump onto a train as an investigator your mind should immediately go on to the next steps I would love to have a helicopter following that train I would love to have some of my guys following that train inside of a vehicle to see whether next stop is I would love to have law enforcement waiting at the next stop to see if they can take wesley snipes into custody but Tommy Lee Jones stays up at the top of the building because number one he is probably amazed that he was able to pull that escape off they escaped itself it was a little bit of movie magic I've never had a guy played Tarzan in the middle of a downtown street overall Hollywood does a pretty good job of death depiction of a fugitive investigation but I have a few tips of the trade that I could share with y'all if y'all give me a problem
