>> thanks for joining us tonight. the man accused of murdering ceo brian thompson. launching into a loud tirade in front of reporters at a pennsylvania courthouse. now, law enforcement tonight warning health care executives to be vigilant in the aftermath of the murder. here's abc's senior investigative correspondent aaron katersky. >> a chaotic scene outside this pennsylvania courthouse as accused killer luigi mangione arrived for his extradition hearing and erupted in an angry outburst, clearly out of touch and insult the intelligence of the american people. it claimed the suspect shackled, but a team of deputies still forcing him inside. mangione is fighting extradition to new york, where he's facing second degree murder charges in the assassination style killing of united health care ceo brian thompson. he's also facing local gun and forgery charges in pennsylvania.

>> if you're an american, you believe in the american criminal justice system. you have to presume him to be innocent, and none of us would want anything other than that if that were us in those shoes. >> tonight, he's being held without bail at this nearby state prison. mangione appearing calm in court this afternoon after that outburst outside. new york governor kathy hochul said in a statement she will sign the governor's warrant sought by the manhattan district attorney's office for mengoni's extradition. earlier tonight, police releasing images of mangione monday inside the mcdonald's where he was arrested. taking down his mask to eat a hashbrown just moments before a worker called police. fellow customers doing a double take. >> my one friend made the comment. he thought it was he don't. don't that look like the shooter from new york? we pretty much laughed about it. >> when police arrived and asked mangione if he had recently visited new york city, he became quiet, became visibly nervous, kind of shaking at that question, and he didn't really

answer it directly. it was a five day manhunt that gripped the nation. local and federal law enforcement releasing several rounds of photographs of the alleged killer masked and on the move. >> law enforcement is really only as good as the public helping them. that's really the bottom line that you cannot effectively police a community unless you have the community with you. >> after getting on an electric bike following the shooting, authorities say he was able to escape new york by bus, leaving behind a backpack full of monopoly money and a tommy hilfiger jacket. police say he made it to the small city of altoona, pennsylvania, about 300 miles from new york. the victim, brian thompson, the ceo of unitedhealthcare, was in new york from minnesota and walking alone to an annual investors meeting at the hilton hotel on west 54th street when he strolled by his killer. >> i don't think it's a surprise that he picked the location that he picked, because it gave him a

tremendous audience, and from that vantage point, he clearly has been successful. i mean, this is all people can talk about now. >> shortly before 7 a.m, authorities believe the shooter was allegedly lying in wait, as seen in this video obtained by abc news, before opening fire with a weapon that appeared to have a silencer. a confidential nypd assessment obtained by abc news says mangione, appeared to view the targeted killing of thompson as a symbolic takedown of united health care over perceived corruption. mangione likely views himself as a hero of sorts, who has finally decided to act upon such injustices as the police assessment claims. >> it's a cause driven crime. they lock on it, gives them a purpose, and they believe the only way they can advance their cause is to do something outrageously violent. >> mangione may have been inspired by the unabomber. according to that same law enforcement analysis. like ted kaczynski, whose 17 year bombing campaign killed three and injured 23 people. the nypd's

analysis says mangione may become a martyr. abc news also obtained a copy of what police say is the alleged killer's handwritten screed. it says these parasites simply had it coming, and these mafioso have gotten too powerful and continue to abuse our country for immense profit. >> specifically, he states how we are the number one most expensive health care system in the world. yet the life expectancy of an american is ranked 42 in the world. so he was writing a lot about his disdain for corporate america and in particular, the health care industry. >> but even as police dig into a motive, there are still questions about the alleged shooter's background. mangione was from a prominent maryland family and the valedictorian at his elite prep school, as seen here in a 2016 speech for a school founder's day ceremony. >> i'm honored to be speaking to you all today on behalf of the gilman class of 2016. >> he went on to become an ivy league graduate, leading many to wonder how could he become an accused killer? we asked his former roommate in hawaii, who

said mangione struggled with a back injury. >> yeah, unfortunately, he did let me know that the severity of his back issue was such that it was very difficult to. have physical relationships with women, that it made things painful. >> on social media, police say he posted an x ray of a spine and wrote about back pain, sciatica and brain fog, saying it's absolutely brutal to have such a life halting issue. for a number of months, mangione had been out of touch with his family, and police sources say his mother filed a missing persons report in san francisco about two weeks before brian thompson's murder. repeated requests for information about the report went unanswered by the san francisco police department, which referred questions to the nypd. mangione's case has become a cause, with admirers posting videos like this one on instagram to britney spears song

criminal. i'm in love with a criminal. a social media profile gained hundreds of thousands of followers after his arrest. mangione's lawyer says his office has received calls from people offering to pay his legal bills. the police department that arrested mangione has been receiving threats. pennsylvania governor josh shapiro sending a clear message. >> i understand people have real frustration with our health care system. this killer is being hailed as a hero. hear me on this. he is no hero. >> mangione's lawyer telling abc news he intends to plead not guilty to all charges. >> our thanks to erin, we shift gears now to actor jamie foxx. the oscar winner opening up about the medical mystery that nearly took his life in a new golden globe nominated comedy special. here's abc's eva pilgrim. i was fighting for my life. >> but i'm here in front of you. >> jamie foxx opening up for the

first time about the mysterious health crisis that put him in the hospital for more than 20 days. the doctor giving his sister the bad news. >> he told my sister some horrible news about her big brother. he said he's having a brain bleed. that's led to a stroke in april 2023. >> jamie foxx was hospitalized in atlanta after an unknown medical complication. he and his family, sharing few details at the time, only saying it started with a bad headache. >> so i asked my boy. i said, listen, i need a aspirin. before i could get the aspirin. i went out. i don't 20 days, but now, in his just released netflix stand up special, what had happened was the comedian manages to find the

humor about that dark time. he said i couldn't walk, but look at me now. now walk it out, now walk it out. >> the actor saying he had given up on may 4th, i woke up. >> and when i woke up, i found myself in a wheelchair. i couldn't walk. >> thanking the therapist who pushed him to get better. >> slowly but surely, she said, i can help you. jamie foxx but you got to tell me what's really going on with you. you're dizzy right? i said, yes, ma'am. you're so dizzy you can't walk. i said, yes, ma'am. she says, you remember the movie karate kid? i said, yes, she said, we're going to wax on. wax off. >> fox recorded the special this past october while doing three live stand up shows in atlanta. >> i ain't been on stage officially in like 18 years, but you know, atlanta made me feel like, man, i ain't. >> i ain't lost a step now. fox saying it was the strength of god and his family that helped him through. don't take me.

>> don't take me. no. just give me just a little more time with my little one. >> performing a song with his youngest daughter. >> i mean, you had to make it because i always dreamed that we'd perform together on stage one day. >> who played by his bedside when his health was the worst. and his motto through it all, if i can stay funny, i can stay alive. >> our thanks to eva. and when we come back, angelina jolie taking on oprah in her new role. what she says felt therapeutic what she says felt therapeutic about maria. like a relentless w moderate to severe ulcerative colitis symptoms can keep coming back. start to break away from uc with tremfya... with rapid relief at 4 weeks.

>> welcome back. angelina jolie is known for being fearless in roles she chooses. she's played a sociopath, an assassin, and an action hero. but the multi award winner says her latest role, which already garnered her a golden globe nomination, is the scariest of all. she sat down with abc's michael strahan. >> you learned to sing opera? >> i did. >> i thought it was going to be a little more fake singing. i thought it was going to be like movie singing. and then i very quickly realized that you can't fake sing opera. >> the voice of a legendary prima donna diva, now by an oscar winning actress, angelina jolie, is maria callas, the acclaimed opera singer in

the new netflix film maria, out tomorrow. >> i will sing when i am ready to sing. >> maria explores the diva's final days living in paris, struggling to stage a comeback while reflecting on her glamorous and tumultuous life in the public eye. her voice, her love life, her every move under constant scrutiny. >> i just want to know what the hell happened to you. >> a lot of times it's hard to watch because you do see a human in her. being criticized like that. were you able to take some of your personal experience that you may have had and use it in the portrayal of maria? >> there's obvious things that people would tie our lives and see we have in common, but i think it's more the how hard she is on herself, with her work sometimes seen as strong but actually very vulnerable and human. i certainly am. i think there's many things i think we would have been friends. >> the movie is the last in a trilogy of sorts from director pablo larrain, whose work has been examining the private lives of 20th century female icons

like natalie portman, embodying jacqueline kennedy in the wake of her husband's assassination. and jackie. >> i was real. i was performance. >> kristen stewart taking on princess diana at odds with the british royal family and spencer. >> there's no hope for me. >> and now with maria. >> maria. what do you want to sing? >> maria callas was born to greek parents and rose to fame in the 1950s. her singular voice, front and center in puccini's tosca. but for those who don't know maria callas and the diva. how would you describe her? >> a very hard working person didn't receive a lot of love and support from her family, and found love through her connection with audience. it was a deeply complex individual. >> the role a departure for jolie, known for her action packed thrillers like salt and

mr. and mrs. smith with her ex, brad pitt. >> who's your daddy now? >> in maria, jolie learned to sing opera for the part, spending seven months with a vocal coach, her voice mixed with recordings of the real maria callas. so you actually really are singing? yeah. was that a little scary when you're on set and, you know, these moments are coming. >> the first day i was, i was an absolute lunatic because i have her in my ear. i can make sure that i'm singing it the same, you know, technically the same same way she is. but the only thing that can be heard on set is me. wow. >> the lessons healing for jolie and her return to the big screen after a three year hiatus. and you say opera lessons are like therapy? if so, how so? >> we all don't realize that different things that happen to us in our life, they we hold them in our body, right? the thing everything is just locked somewhere to help us keep going.

and so to really sing and sing very fully, you have to unlock all of that. >> wow. >> my first lesson. i took a deep breath and just cried and then left. and that was. >> like two of jolie's children, maddox and pax, worked on the film and were there during her most difficult singing feats. >> i've never sung, and somebody in my life wasn't very kind to me about singing, so it made me think i couldn't sing. so yes, my first day singing in front of the crew, we kept it really tight. my sons were working in the film, and i asked them to watch the doors to make sure nobody else came in. i was shaking. >> perhaps we could speak of your life away from the stage. >> there is no life away from the stage. >> is there anything in your life that compares to her love of singing? >> my motherhood. >> yeah. kids. >> yeah. it's my happiness. it's. you can take everything

else away from me. i could. nothing else matters. yeah. >> and you said that your boys, maddox and pax, they work on the film with you. they got the bug for the business. >> none of my children want to be in front of the camera at this time. interesting. they're quite private. shiloh is extremely private. they weren't born with privacy. right. so i hope they can have that. and all of my children suffered through my early opera singing in the house before i got kind of good. >> her performance in maria, already generating oscar buzz. variety magazine capturing the moment. jolie received an eight minute standing ovation after the premiere at the venice film festival in august. how did that make you feel? >> very emotional. all the hard work, all the hard work. and also it is about a real story of a real human being. so at the end of her days, her last years, she tried to sing again when she wasn't able to be what everybody wanted her to be. i think she she died feeling quite hurt and

alone. and so i think i was emotional because it felt like it felt like we were able to bring that moment back. when i see people sad for the end, i feel like they're sad for her end and have a compassion for her that i wish she knew when she was alive because she's human. >> at the end of the day, just a human who was trying to figure out her what her life was. >> and like we all do. >> our thanks to michael. when we come back, new year's rockin eve goes rock n roll. the lineup, including alanis morissette, is all everyone really wants. is some peace, man. >> a place to find a there' the gordon home. around good thing gertrude found delsym. now what's going around is 12-hour cough relief.
