- [Female Reporter] As the
the world nervously awaits

for the United States' response

to the latest terrorism attacks

order by exile leader Omar Hassid.

- [Male Reporter] Security
council resolutions,

denouncing the suicide bombs
by Hassid's loyal followers,

gave done little to stop the bloodshed

and security has been
stepped up at all American,

British and French embassies.

Russian diplomatic efforts have failed

but the Russian ambassador again

stated his country's opposition

to the use of military forces.

(men chanting)

(dramatic music)

- [Female Reporter] Are being contemplated

to bring swift stability to the region.

Faced with the gravest
crisis of hi presidency,

President Hayden has called--

- [Male Reporter] On the eve
of this Memorial Day weekend.

(war zone commotion)

(dramatic music)

(pleasant military music)

(somber music)

- That storm has passed and
cleanup efforts are continuing.

Officials expect business
as usual by tomorrow.

In other parts of the world,
tension continues to grow

in the Middle East where
those loyal to Omar Hassid

are again on the move.

Responding to the exile
leader's call to action.

The chairman of the joint
chiefs, General James Metzger,

was quick to respond.

- Hassid's intentions are
clearly to incite civil war

and bring about political instability.

Not only to the Middle East

but to the security of the United States

and the entire world.

(somber piano music)

- Okay.

Hit the yellow button twice.

Set time.

(beeping)
Come on.

(ominous music)

(pleasant music)

(suspenseful music)

- Morning, Gray.

- Morning, Madam Vice President.

- New suit?

- Yes, ma'am.

- [Female Reporter] As
President Mark Hayden

continues to search for
a diplomatic solution,

the peace delegation,
led by Senator Barklay,

departs for Zurich this afternoon.

- Hey, you don't like the pancakes, Kevin?

- [Elizabeth] Hey!

- Hey there.

- Hey, Mom.

How was your run?

- Best part of my day.

- What's the word?

- Well, the President
meets with the joint chiefs

after the press conference.

Metzger is pushing hard
for aggressive action.

- Well, this trip will
ease attention, you'll see.

- Yeah.

I hope so.

Hey there.

- Hey.

Mom?
- Hmm?

- Do I have to go?

- Have to?

Kevin, you should be thrilled to go.

Zurich is beautiful
and give you and Lowell

a chance to spend some time together.

- I know.

It's just that,

can't I just stay here with you?

(somber music)

- Is this about flying?

- A little.

- It's okay to be scared

and Lowell's going to be with you.

Remember what your dad used to say?

- [Both] "Being scared is being alive."

- Yeah.

(pleasant music)

(ominous music)

- Hearing these young Americans

express themselves so beautifully

at the start of this long
Memorial Day weekend,

I am moved by the fact
that our young people

have never known full scale war.

Men and women who shed their blood,

lost their loved ones in
Europe and the Pacific

in the defense of freedom

or my generation, who saw the
horrors of the Vietnam War

every night on television.

Let us hope our great
nation will never again

be subjected to the terrible suffering

that man has inflicted on man.

That's why peace is so urgent.

Our delegation departing today

I hope will be able to bring
this Mideast crisis to an end.

Our peace delegation, led
by Senator Lowell Barklay,

is going to Zurich to meet
with citizens of the world.

Diplomats, politicians, ordinary citizens

and children.

I ask all Americans to join me in placing

our faith and hopes in their hands

because our futures are all at stake

in this increasingly hostile world.

(ominous music)

(beeping)

Vivian and I and our son, Blake,

look forward to joining
in the peace celebration

here in Washington next week.

(applauding)
(dramatic music)

- No, the itinerary has been changed now.

She'll be doing it after Zurich.

Right, on the 23rd.

No.

No, I don't have a date this weekend.

- Mr. President, General
Metzger is ready, sir.

- Would you like me to join you?

- Sure, Liz, if you like.

- Excuse me.

- Now Hassid's forces have
gathered here, to the south.

Intelligence reports

the real danger lies to the east

where he will have access
to biological weaponry

within 24 hours.

- Assuming you're right,
General, what are you suggesting?

- To be tact.

We need to show them we're in charge.

Otherwise, in no time at all,

our troops will be under assault.

But first,

move our carriers into the Gulf.

Let his men know that we're there.

Second, Hassid will, of course, respond.

Before he can act, we
move in, take him out.

- General, what if your reports are wrong?

- Well what if I'm right?

Can't sit here.

Give him a tool in which to bargain with.

Now let's not make
another Gulf War mistake.

- General James Metzger,

gentlemen,

I studied the reconnaissance reports

that we received yesterday.

- Those were yesterday's.

- Excuse me, General.

The point I was trying to
make is that there is nothing

that clearly indicates
that Hassid will be taking

any aggressive action
in the immediate future.

So I suggest--

- With all due respect,
Madam Vice President,

this is not a matter of opinion.

What our Vice President
needs to understand

is that a volatile situation like this

requires swift,

steady action.

- All right.

We'll continue to monitor his movements.

Otherwise, we'll keep to low key

and let our delegation do its work.

(ominous music)

General.

Stay with the party line on this.

I don't want any fractures here.

(phone ringing)

- Thanks for your support, Elizabeth.

From you performance in there,

I wonder if you really have an opinion

or you just follow along.

- The Cold War's over, Jim.

You just don't have any
more enemies to fight.

- You want to be window
dressing, so be it.

(somber tempo music)

- [Hayden] Metzger really
pushes it, doesn't he?

- I'd be happy to draw up his resignation.

Just let me know when.

- What can I do?

- Well, just tell Lowell to
make us look good in Zurich.

(laughing)

(press members chattering)

- Mr. Chairman!

Mr. Chairman!

As a decorated general

with extensive knowledge of the region,

how would you categorize the situation?

- Every freedom loving American should pay

very, very close attention
to what I'm about to say.

The United States is not
prepared, now or ever,

to allow a tyrant to
disturb the balance of power

in the world.

The only intelligent course of action,

and I for one believe it to be inevitable,

is military response.
(ominous music)

- Mmmm, yum.

(somber music)

- Wish I was going.

Remember the last time we were there?

- Trust me,

this trip's not gonna
be nearly as much fun.

- I know but this is more important.

- Don't worry.

By the time we get back,
this crisis will be over

and you can tell the
President that's a promise.

- Yeah.

(somber music)

- Okay, what's wrong?

- I just realized this morning
that this is the first time

he's been this far away from me since,

you know, since his father died.

That's kinda hard for both of us

but it's hard for you too.

- Liz,

Kevin is a great kid.
- I know.

- Everything's gonna be fine.

- I know.

- And as for you, Madam Vice President.

- Yes?

- When this is all done,

we're gonna take a nice quiet trip

away from the problems of
Washington and the world.

For at least two days.

- Two days?
(laughing)

Two whole days?

- Good morning, you guys.

- [Liz] Kevin!

Come on!

What're you guys doing in here?

- Look at this guy.

- What is this?

You and Lowell have got a plane to catch.

What're you doing with all these
bunnies all over the floor?

Come on, put them inside.

- I wish I was going to Zurich.

I have to go to Camp
David for the weekend.

There's like nothing to do there at all.

- That'll be fun too.

Listen, sweetie, can you
put the rest of them back in

because, come on, Kev.

- Bye.

- Bye, have a good weekend, hun.

- [Kevin] Bye!

- Okay, we got your coat

and your carry on.

Taking your computer, huh?

- Yeah, of course, I always do.

What else am I gonna do
for eight hours on a plan?

- Kevin, you give this your best shot

and you're gonna have a
great time, I promise.

Kevin?

Try to talk to Lowell, huh?

- Sure, Mom.

- "Sure, Mom."

(somber music)

Two days, at least.

- The United States

is not prepared,

now or ever,

to allow a tyrant

to affect the balance
of power in the world.

The only intelligent course of action,

and I for one believe it is inevitable,

is military response.

(foreboding music)

(computer keys clicking)

- Ten-hut.

- Sir.

(ominous beat music)

- Good evening, Col. Gardener.

- At easy, Jake.

- General Metzger's
asked that you join him.

- Saw your boy play against
the Navy last Saturday.

He was great.

- Seven for seven from
the free throw line.

- All the right moves.

(ominous tempo music)

- Okay.

(computer keys clicking)

(phone ringing)

- Davies.

- [Metzger] Get me the President.

- It's Metzger, sir.

- Yes, Jim?

- Mr. President,

we now have a major crisis brewing.

Intelligence shows a Hassid
faction move to the south.

As I have warned you,
he is about to launch

a major offensive.

I am strongly urging you

to deal with this crisis immediately.

I've sent an order

putting our carriers into
position in the Gulf.

- What?!

You resend that order immediately!

I'm on my way now.

(ominous music)

Get Fellows.

Tell him I'm probably gonna
need his help with Metzger.

- [Davies] Yes, sure.

(foreboding music)

(somber music)

(foreboding music)

- We set, Collins?

- All set, Lieutenant.

(somber music)

- You all right?

You know, Kevin,

I don't expect us to be
best pals right away.

We do have one thing in common.

We both love your mom very much.

What do you say, for her sake,

we do our best to make
this trip work, okay?

(pleasant music)

(watch beeping)

- Now you go off.

Whatever happened to 6AM?

(computer keys clicking)

(knocking)

- Sorry to disturb you,
Madam Vice President,

but I was just on my way out

and I heard that General Metzger

is meeting with the President
down at Command Central.

They're having some sort of little powwow

and I thought that you--

- Should've been informed, huh?

- Yes, ma'am.

- Thanks, John,

but, for now, I'm just gonna let them

have their little boy's club meeting.

I'm gonna keep working on this speech.

You go ahead and take off.

- Thank you.

- John?

You got any special plans for the weekend?

- No, no, no, I don't have some.

- No dates?

- No dates.

- Have a good weekend anyway.

- You too, Madam Vice President.

Oh, and if I hear anything about
what's going on downstairs,

I'll keep you posted.

Friends in high places.

(ominous music)

(radio buzzing)

- Hobson, over.

- [Man] Copy.

- All accounted for.

- Copy that.

(ominous tempo music)

(somber piano music)

(foreboding music)

- Mr. President,

we've just been informed by the Pentagon

the carriers have already moved
into position in the Gulf.

- Metzger has just hanged himself.

Have we had any response yet?

Anything from Hassid?

- We don't know, sir, we're
still trying to make sense

of what's going on.

(foreboding music)

(beeping)

(somber music)

- Hassid is responding.

- [Metzger] Just as I expected.

- Metzger!

How dare you bypass my authority

to send an order to the fleet.

- Mr. President, with all due respect--

- I don't wanna hear about it.

You had no authorization to
commit our forces on your own.

I oughta have you Court-martialed.

You know, Jim, you leave me no choice.

You're fired.

I expect you letter of resignation
on my desk this evening

and that goes for Williams and Krell

and your entire staff.
(radio fizzling)

- "I hear by resign my post

"as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff

"affective immediately."

- I'm not a quitter, Mark.

You, of all people, should know that.

- That's fine.

On Monday I'll announce

that I have relived you of your duties.

Between now and then I'll figure out

what I'll say to the press.

- Hassid has escalated.

- I don't wanna hear it.

I just want you out of my sight.

- Mark?

Mark?

(foreboding music)

Please.

(guns clicking)

I'm sorry to have to resort to force.

Sit down.

Let's

talk about this.

Calmly.

(foreboding music)

(guns clicking)

(people chattering)

- [Pilot] Ladies and gentlemen,

this is your co-pilot speaking.

On behalf of the entire crew,

we would like to welcome you aboard.

We'll be taking off
shortly, so sit back, relax

and enjoy the flight.

- Nice to see you again, Senator.

Please let me know if
there's anything I can do

to make your flight more enjoyable.

- Thank you very much.

(sinister music)

- Proceed.

(foreboding music)

(alarm buzzing)

- We've got an alarm in the White House

indicating a possible
leak in the gas line.

All posts prepare to evacuate!

(suspenseful music)

- Another drill on a holiday weekend.

Oh boy.

(siren alarming)

- Move it! Move it!

(knocking)

I'm sorry, Madam Vice President,

but I'll have to ask you to
evacuate the White House.

We have an alert of a gas leak.

- Give me two minutes, Sergeant.

- Ma'am, I have--

- Goodbye, Sergeant.

- Ma'am, I'll finish
with the rest of the wing

but when I come back,

you'll have to leave the premise with me.

- [Liz] You got it.

(foreboding music)

(siren alarming)
- Come on, this wing's clear.

- [Man] West Wing clear too, sir.

(siren alarming)

- You check annex three.

(suspenseful music)

- Sir, it looks like the Marine Guards

have cleared all personnel
from inside the White House.

Hobson is in position outside.

- Good.

(siren alarming)

Lock up.

(siren alarming)

Lower the radiation shields.

(siren alarming)

(thudding)

(beeping)

(thudding)

(thudding)

(ominous music)

- Hello?

Hello?

(siren alarming)

(foreboding music)

(somber tempo music)

- [Man] All right, put your
hands behind your head.

That's it, right this way.

No, call it in.

I don't want any sudden movements.

That's right, keep going
down here, nobody gets hurt.

(police siren alarming)

(helicopter buzzing)

- [Officer] I'm working on that, over.

Roger that!

Code three.

- Vendome.

Do you know what you're doing?

- I realize that under the circumstances,

this is difficult for
you to understand, sir.

But I believe this will not
only benefit the country

but your presidency as well.

- He's activated the whole complex,

sealed off every wing in the White House

and engaged the radiation shields.

- It's ironic, you know?

This room was designed as
an emergency headquarters

during enemy attack.

- Metzger thought this through.

How did he manage to put this together?

- My God, Mr. President,
I should have seen this.

Metzger was demanding all day long

that he had Marines in
battle fatigues on premises

for the Memorial Day ceremonies.

Now I know why.

(helicopter buzzing)

(police siren alarming)

- Where's that cellphone?

(beeping)

- This is a vile assault
on me, the White House

and the Constitution.

- [Fellows] General!

General, you will be court-martialed
and tried for treason.

- Perhaps.

Perhaps not.

- Reports confirm that
while a peace delegation

is on route to Zurich,

President Hayden has also
ordered U.S. destroyers

into tactical position

in response to Hassid's defiance
and continued maneuvering.

U.S. allies have responded favorably.

- I am not the enemy, Mark.

Neither to you, nor to
the American people.

I simply want Hassid to be stopped.

(foreboding music)

To restore peace to Middle East security.

- [Soldier] Let's double
check this hallway.

(dramatic music)

- Hobson, the White House
is sealed and secured.

Metzger has the President.

You can proceed with the media.

- Copy.

(ominous music)

(radio buzzing)

- I'll be down in the
Command Center in a second.

Hang on, I just heard something.

(ominous music)

It's all clear, I'm coming down.

- Chief, Lieutenant Hobson,

director of White House security.

I want to thank you for your
department's quick response.

- What happened, exactly?

- Gas leak alert in a West Wing basement.

Now we've evacuated all accept
for essential personnel.

- I understand the President's in there.

- The President and
General Metzger are safe

in the Emergency Command Center.

Now how long do you
think it's gonna take you

to find the leak?

- There are several ways we could go.

Fastest way, we send a couple of men

into the White House basement
to rule out any false alarm.

- As director of White House security,

I wanna go on the
assumption that his is real.

I want to investigate
this situation fully.

- The way to go then is to
start at the street line

and work our way back slowly.

Could take six or eight hours or more?

- Good.

Do it.

(ominous music)

(beeping)

- General Metzger, we have some movement

in the West Wing in the mansion.

- Have somebody take a look.

(ominous music)

(radio buzzing)

- [Control] Target's
maintaining its direction.

- Copy.

(whooshing)

- Hey there.

Sorry about that.

A little tied up, got
a lot to prepare for.

- It's all right.

- So,

are you nervous about flying?

- Yeah.

A little.

- You know, I used to have a
fear of speaking in public.

- Really?

- I know.

But I found that the
way to night be scared

was to not think about it.

To think about something
that made you feel good.

Pretty hard to be scared
when you're laughing.

(laughing)

- Yeah, you're right.

Thanks.

(ominous music)

(police sirens alarming)

- How dare you fire me
for doing what is right!

- I fired you because you
bypassed every channel

and procedure and ordered
the ships to sea and action.

You put young American
service men and women at risk.

Without the support of Congress,
me or the American people.

- Ah, save it for the photo ops, Mark.

That speech today,

about Vietnam,

what do you know about Vietnam?!

I was there!

(somber music)

- You'd better work

or I swear I'm gonna get my money back.

(beeping)

- I hear a noise in the grand ballroom.

Signing off and going in, over.

- Copy that.

Target's maintaining its direction.

(ominous music)

(watch beeping)

(thudding)

(suspenseful music)

(rapid gunfire)

- Well, no word yet on what
caused the security alert.

Officials are grateful that it did happen

on the eve of a long weekend,

when only a skeleton staff still remains

inside this building.

We have unconfirmed
reports that the President

and the joint Chief of Staff Chairman,

General James Metzger, were
rushed to an underground complex

before the shields went down.

- General Metzger,

in the end, the truth will be found out.

You're going to destroy the very country

you're trying to protect.

- By the time the gas leak has been found,

everyone reenters the White House,

this operation will be complete

and this incident and all memory of it

will stay here, in this
room, Mr. President,

with your cooperation, of course.

- Don't count on it.

- We'll see.

- Jim, this can only lead to disaster.

Why destroy your distinguished career?

- My career?

My career?

My career is of very little
consequence, Mr. President,

when my own grandchildren cannot live

in a world that is free and safe

from international terrorists
such as Omar Assid!

(foreboding music)

I've warned you, Mr. President,

time and time again

but you have lain dormant,
hiding behind press conferences

and peace delegations
and useless diplomacy.

The tyrant will be stopped!

- General Metzger, for God sake,

think about what you're doing.

This is an unprovoked action.

The United States will
find itself isolated

from every other country in the world.

- Trust me.

Trust me, I have thought
this out for some time now

and I assure you that this action

and our response will not be unprovoked.

He is about to commit
an act of such horror

that it will prove to be the
final straw to the free world.

What I am about to say doesn't please me.

There is a bomb aboard the plane

carrying that delegation to Zurich.

- What?

- When that bomb explodes,

there will be ample
evidence to tie it to Hassid

and the United States
will instantly retaliate

with a limited nuclear strike

which will end Omar
Hassid's aggressor empire

once and for all!

- And you're prepared to do that?

- Yes, Mr. President, I am.

For the sake of peace.

(whooshing)

(beeping)

(somber music)

- I'm going in, over.

(suspenseful music)

- Target's maintaining its direction.

(ominous music)

(thudding)

(groaning)

- Carell, do you read? Over.

Carell, come in.

Carell, are you there? Over.

- No but I am.
(dramatic music)

(police sirens alarming)

(ominous music)

- Carell, come in.

He's not responding, sir.

- Keep trying.

- Carell, do you read, over?

(door creaking)

(foreboding music)

- [Toy] Crush, kill, destroy your enemy.

We are in place and ready to attack.

- And we wonder why little
boys turn out the way they do.

- [Toy] The enemy can blast
me with their best artillery

but they're no match for what
I've got in store for them.

Surrender while you can.

There is no place to hide.

There is no place to hide.

- Get him!

- [Toy] There is no place to hide.

(thudding)

(ominous music)

- Power.

- [Soldier] This way.

(footsteps thumping)

(men talking)

- Well, no word yet on
the source of the leak.

We have confirmed that the President

and Joint Chiefs Chairman
and aids were safely moved

into the underground complex.

With me now is White House Security Chief

Lieutenant Hobson.

- I talked with the President

and he would like to
assure the American people

that he and the others are completely safe

in the Emergency Command Center.

- Well all is well in
the nation's capitol.

For W-R-E-H TV 12, I'm
Brian Stone in Washington.

(somber music)

(computer keys clicking)

- Hey there.

- Sorry, didn't mean to wake you.

- It's okay.

- [Computer] You have email.

- Oh, goody, lucky you.

- It's from Mom.

She says she misses us already.

- Yeah?

- I was gonna play again.

Wanna play?

- Yeah.

Not much good a video games.

- I'll teach you.

- Fire away.

(video game blasting)

(ominous music)

- Have you men forgotten
you oath of allegiance?

Your sworn duty to serve
your Commander and Chief?

- When a government becomes destructive

to the wellbeing of those it governs,

it is their right

and their duty

to alter it to institute a
new government if necessary.

It is there duty to throw
off such a government

and to provide new guards
for their security.

- You dare to quite Thomas Jefferson?

To twist his words to your own agenda.

The wellbeing of this
country is in no danger.

- If Jefferson

or Washington were in this room,

they would find a fellow patriot.

- If Jefferson or
Washington were here today,

they'd hang you for treason.

(sinister music)

Try all you want, Jim,

but you'll never be able
to defend this action.

(ominous music)

(somber music)

(suspenseful music)

(somber music)

(people chattering)

(uplifting music)

(glass shattering)

(thudding)

(electrical fizzling)

- What happened?!

We're supposed to be totally
self-sufficient in here!

(fizzling)

- We're fine, sir.

Generator powers the equipment,

the White House has emergency lighting.

- Whoever's in there, I
want them stopped now!

Listen up, we are moving
our schedule ahead!

Col. Gardener?

- Sir.

- Get me Commander
Erickson on the phone now.

- Yes, sir.

- Mr. Vendome!

- General Metzger, General Metzger,

you'd be very wrong to assume that Hassid

will be automatically blamed.

- When that bomb explodes,
no one will question it.

Mr. Vendome, please
escort our honored guests

to more comfortable quarters.

Now!

(foreboding music)

- Sir.

- [Metzger] We're in a crisis situation

but we need to know basically...

(playful music)

(ominous music)

- Approaching the electrical room.

(door creaking)

(thudding)

(suspenseful music)

(thudding)

- John!

Oh.

- I hope that wasn't priceless.

- Thank God.

What is going on?

- Metzger's taken over Command Central.

Williams, Collin and
Gardener are with him.

- Is the President all right?

- For now, come on.

- What is Metzger planning?

- An attack on Hassid.

- Oh no.

(static fizzling)
- Greetings, General Metzger.

- Commander Erickson,

I am ordering immediate deployment

for a full-scale attack

on the forces of Omar Hassid.

- Yes, sir.

I just need the authorization
codes from the President

and the birds will be in the air, sir.

- I will have those for you in a moment.

(ominous music)

Mr. President,

the codes.

- I'm afraid I don't follow you.

- I need the codes for Commander Erickson.

Do you understand?

- As much as you want to
be Commander and Chief,

the fact remains that I am.

I will not authorize this mission.

- What have you ever done to earn

the title Commander and Chief, huh?

You make speeches.

People like you get elected.

But let me ask you something.

Have you ever been in combat?

Have you ever watched men
die for their country?

I believe the closest
you have ever come to war

is to visit the troops at Christmas.

Well, today is the day
that you are going to learn

what it is like to be a soldier,

Mr. President.

(ominous music)

It's either you

or Omar Hassid, which is it?

- Go ahead, kill me if you want.

I will not give you those codes.

(sinister music)

Good.

At least you're willing
to die for your beliefs,

that's good.

It's impressive.

But quite meaningless.

You see, I already have the codes.

Had you given them to me,

I would've shot you for
treason, Mr. President.

(menacing music)

- The place is completely sealed.

- I know.

Metzger knows what he's doing.

This whole thing's been
very carefully planned.

- I'm not sure how we're
gonna get out of here.

- Gray, we can't get out of here

until we know the President's all right.

- How are we supposed to
get tot he Command Complex?

We can't even get close to it.

- Maybe we can.

Come on with me.

(foreboding music)

Where is it?

- All right, what're we looking for?

- Laundry shoot, let me think.

Oh, here.

Here, here, help me move this.
- You're sure about this?

- Absolutely.

My father was an under
secretary here, I played...

(clanking)

I played in the White House the
whole time I was growing up.

They sealed it up here but
it's still gonna work for us.

- Okay, show us the way,
Madam Vice President.

- Look, Gray, under the circumstances,

let's just lose the manner.

- With all due respect,
ma'am, I can't do that.

- You have to.

- What do you want me to call you?

- Liz will work, okay?

- All right, Liz, let's do it.
- One.

Two.

Three, pull.

- Come on!

(ominous music)

(grunting)

- Hurry up.
- Okay, okay.

(thudding)

(shushing)

- Stop.

(thudding)

Let me try, wait.
- One more, one more.

(thudding)

Go!
- Got it! Got it!

Okay, one, two, three.
- Let's go! Let's go!

Let's go!

(clanking)

(foreboding music)

- Give me your pin light so I can see.

Okay.

Oh yeah, this is the way I remember it.

- You sure about this?

- Yep, it's gonna drop us
right down to the tunnel

into the Commander Center.

(foreboding music)

- [Gray] Boy, you know
your way around, don't you?

- Just get up there, come on.

All right, now remember,
you're going down the shoot,

straight up and down like a luge.

- Madam, Liz.

I was a kid too.

- Yeah, I know, I know, I know.

(gun clicking)

Get down!

(yelping)

(gunshots popping)

(yelping)

(gunshots popping)

That's the only way I'll remember it.

(gunshots popping)

(suspenseful music)

(gunshots popping)

(thudding)

(suspenseful music)

(ominous music)

- [Woman] Satellite confirmed.

- [Man] Holding.

- No response from Vendome, General.

However, we do have movement.

- [Metzger] Col. Gardener.

- Sir.

- Take a couple of men, find them.

- Yes, sir.

- [Gardener] You three with me!

(ominous music)

(beeping)

- Gardener?

- Gardener, go ahead.

- Targets moving into boiler room.

- Copy.

(suspenseful music)

(ominous music)

(foreboding music)

(menacing music)

- In less than two hours,

the reign of Omar Hassid

will be over.

(menacing music)

(helicopter buzzing)

(uplifting music)

(eerie music)

(beeping)

- Executive Wing.

- Copy that.

- He always seems to know where we are.

How does he know?

- Command Central has motion detectors.

(door creaking)

Liz?

Liz?

(beeping)

- Target's moving towards mansion, over.

- [Vendome] Copy that.

(somber music)

- Sorry, Blake, to mess
up your class experiment.

Right now I need their help.

Come on, guys.

Come on.

Everybody out.

This is important, come on.

(ominous music)

(uplifting music)

Enjoy the tour, guys.

No charge, all right?

There you go.

Blue Room's the second door on your right.

Go.

(playful music)

- What in blazes is that?
(beeping)

- General.

- Find out what that is.

(ominous music)

- Take it easy, son.

Let's get back to your post.

The motion detectors
are all going haywire.

(playful music)

(somber music)

(gasping)

- Where's you go?

- Rabbits.
- Rabbits?

- Come on.
- Freeze!

(ominous music)

Madam Vice President.

You're not supposed to be here.

Step aside.

- You know, Vendome, taking
out Hassid is not the answer.

- Where's your weapon, boss?

- On my desk.

(foreboding)

General Metzger is right about this

and the world will think
it's the perfect response

after the delegate plane explodes.

- What?

- There's a bomb on that plane.

- How do you know there's a bomb?

- It's part of the General's plan.

As soon as the landing gear touches down,

the plane explodes.

(foreboding music)

After it explodes,

we'll retaliate with a full strike

and eliminate Hassid.

I'm sorry, Madam Vice President.

Let's move.

Come on!

(ominous music)

(beeping)

(video game commotion)

- [Kevin] All right, you get that one!

Oh, missed.

I got that one!

- When this is over,

you better pray that Kevin
an Lowell are still alive.

(ominous music)

(gasping)

(booming)

(somber music)

(computer keys clicking)

- What're young doing?

- Even though I cut the power,

I've gotta try to use my backup
battery to send an email.

- The phone lines are out.

- The modem lines are completely separate.

How do I do this?

Okay.

(computer keys clicking)

Pray to God they get this in time.

You're really hurt.

Is it broken?

- I don't think so.

Just need to lay down.

- Look, you stay here and
take care of yourself.

I've gotta keep going.

- Liz.
- What?

- Listen to me.

Be smart, don't be careless.

You don't have to prove
yourself to anyone.

But you do have to survive.

Especially if the President doesn't.

(dramatic music)

- I know.

- Oh God.

(video game commotion)

- [Computer Voice] You have email.

- I wonder who that could be?

- She send me hundreds.

We can check them when we finish the game.

(foreboding music)

(gunshots popping)

(suspenseful music)

(gunshots popping)

(ominous music)

(thudding)

(foreboding music)

(video game commotion)

- [Video Game Voice] You are
the master of the universe.

- You did good, that's a tough game.

- Yeah, I'm no match for
the master of the universe.

- I'm gonna go to the bathroom,
you can check my email.

Just click "mail."

- [Computer Voice] You have email.

(ominous music)

(dramatic music)

(helicopter buzzing)

- 15 delegates from 24
countries around the world.

Media coverage for as
far as the eye can see

and security like you
have never seen before

with the delegation's plane
in the air as we speak,

what do you make of this
aggressive stance taking place?

- Well this bold action
is seemingly at odds

with the President's call
for a peaceful solution.

Is does show commitment in leadership,

which some people think
has been sorely lacking

and the President has
definitely sent Hassid

a very strong signal
that he will not tolerate

any further aggression.

(suspenseful music)

(rumbling)

(dramatic music)

(ominous music)

- Are you sure the source of the email?

- Absolutely, we can't afford
to treat this as a joke.

- Right, we'll start an immediate search.

We're only 25 minute from arrival.

If anybody was gonna do anything,

it seems they would've done it already.

- Yeah, we have to be
certain so comb the hull.

(ominous music)

(beeping)

- [Liz] General!

(radio buzzing)

General Metzger.

- Give me that.

- Give it up, Jim, I'm here.

- Madam Vice President, what a surprise.

- Oh yeah.

I'm full of them today.

- I'm glad you found some
use for your Marine training,

Madam Vice President.

- [Liz] You really lost
control, haven't you?

- On the contrary, Elizabeth,
I am very much in control.

- You know, I remember
so well your lectures

on crisis and power.

Who knew that you'd become a case study?

- There is no crisis, Elizabeth.

- Well then end this,
Jim, by God or I will!

- A-minus, Lane.

Form good, content lacking.

- This isn't a class, Jim.

You have taken the President
of the United States hostage

and you've put my family in danger.

Now I'm offering you the easy way out.

Either way, I'm stopping you!

(foreboding music)

(whooshing)

- Sir, we're 30 minutes until target.

- [Woman] Delta One and
Two have assumed position.

(rumbling)

(ominous music)

(beeping)

- Commander Erickson's online.

- Commander Erickson.

- Sir, we're in position.

We only require the final
authorization order.

General Metzger,

we're standing by to receive
the authorization code.

(foreboding music)

- Give me the codes.

Commence proceedings.

(foreboding music)

(groaning)

(ominous music)

- Sir.

Acknowledge received of
the authorization code.

We're prepared to launch our strike.

(menacing music)

- Is everything all right?

- I'm not gonna lie to you, Kevin.

That email said that there's
a bomb on board the plane.

It's okay, we're gonna find it.

Everything's gonna be fine.

(somber music)

- How far away are we from Zurich?

- 18 minutes.

- [Woman] 17 minutes to target.

(somber music)

- We've checked everywhere
that can be checked

without taking the plane apart.

There's nothing more we
can do until we land.

(beeping)

(somber music)

- Ladies and gentlemen, this
is your captain speaking.

We are on final approach for Zurich.

Please prepare for landing.

- [Woman] 10 minutes to target.

(somber music)

- For I have seen death,

destroyer of worlds.

(uplifting music)

- Sir!

Gas!

Everyone out!
(gas hissing)

- [Metzger] What int he blazes is that?!

Put it out!

The ceiling!

(gunshots popping)

All right!

Move out!

Can't stop us anyway.

(coughing)

(suspenseful music)

(coughing)

- [Soldier] Move!

This way! Come this way!

- [Woman] Out of my way! Move faster!

(suspenseful music)

- This is Vice President Lane.

I need an urgent patch
to the delegation plane

on route to Zurich.

- [Woman] Yes, ma'am.

- Don't land.

Do not try to land.

- It's okay.

- Ready for landing gear.

(whooshing)

(rumbling)

- [Pilot] Visual contact with runway.

- Delegation plane, do you read me, over?

- [Pilot] This is the
delegation plane, go.

- This is Vice President
Lane in Washington.

We have learned that there
is a bomb aboard your plane.

- We got your email, we swept
the plane and can't find it.

- [Co-Pilot] Visual contact with runway.

- No, do not land!

You will trigger the bomb!

- Pull up! Pull up!

(plane whooshing)

(dramatic music)

(sir alarming)

(yelling)

- [Man] Oh, man!

(beeping)

- [Pilot] Stabilized at 20 thousand feet.

- [Woman] Eight minutes to target.

- Senator, the Captain wants to see you

in the cockpit immediately.

- Will you stay with him?

Stay in your seat.

What's happening?

- Vice President, sir.

- Liz?

- Lowell, thank God, now
listen to me very carefully.

The bomb is set to go
off in seven minutes.

We can't defuse it from here.

Someone has to get it
loose from the wheel well

and drop it over the water now!

- The wheel well?

- I know you can do it,
Lowell, I know you can.

I'm counting on that weekend with you.

Don't let me down!

- Never plan.

- This is Chief of Staff
Davies in the Command Complex.

Get the Marines in here now!

- [Hayden] Liz!

- [Liz] Yes?

- Metzger's launching an attack--

- I know, I know, I know,
we need the code book.

Where is it?

- Metzger's got the codes!

- What?

- [Woman] Six minutes to target.

(dramatic music)

(ominous music)
(police sirens alarming)

(helicopter buzzing)

(foreboding music)

- [Solider] Let's go!

(ominous tempo music)

(suspenseful music)

(beeping)

- There it is.

(suspenseful music)

(radio commotion)

(ominous tempo music)

- Freeze!

Or I'll shoot.

I swear, I'll shoot.

(suspenseful music)

- [Liz] Where is he?

Where's Metzger?!

- The roof! The roof! He went to the roof!

- This is President Hayden,

I want those planes turned around now.

- I'm sorry, Mr. President,
the direct attack order

from General Metzger
can only be overridden

with the proper codes.

- I don't care about the
stupid codes, there's no time!

I'm trying to stop and unprovoked bombing

that could lead us into another world war!

- Regulation say those codes are--

- I don't care about regulations!

I am the President!

Now get on the radio, call those pilots.

I want them back on the ground now!

- I'm sorry.

It's all fail saved to prevent sabotage.

The only way to stop them now
is to provide the computer

with the correct abort codes, sir.

(ominous music)

- General Metzger!

- Stay where you are, Elizabeth,
or I'll shoot, I swear it.

- Give me the code book.

- In two minutes, it won't matter.

- Give me the book.

- No.

Hassid will be stopped at all costs.

- You can't decide this alone.

If you do this, you won't
be any different than him.

Give it to me.

- How can you say that to me?

I've served my country

from the battlefield

to the hollowed halls

of Washington.

(boots stomping)

(guns clicking)

(foreboding music)

I've given it my all.

- Give me the gun, Jim, please.

- [Woman] Two minutes to target.

(whooshing)

- [Pilot] Target in range.

Looking good.

(foreboding music)

- I have no regrets.

(gunshot booming)

(foreboding music)

- I can cut it loose, we
can drop it over the water.

(rumbling)

I can't reach it from here!

- [Woman] One minute to target.

- Lowell!

(whooshing)

(beeping)

(groaning)

- Can't reach the second strap.

- Lowell!

- Kevin, get back to your seat!

- I can fit, let me try!

- [Woman] 30 seconds and counting.

- Got a hold of your belt.

I've got you through it!

(beeping)

That's it, now cut against
the grain of the strap!

(beeping)

- He's almost got it.

- We're over Lake Geneva now.

(ominous music)

(whooshing)

- Mr. President!

The code, "sensation,
dynamic, tango, Charlie!"

(computer keys clicking)

(foreboding music)

(whooshing)

- [Fighter Pilot] Target in ranger.

Locking on.

(beeping)

- [Woman] Abort!

- [Fighter Pilot] Aborting.
(rumbling)

- [Woman] Strike canceled.

- Yeah!

(laughing)

- Davies, Fellows, get over
to the Pentagon right away.

- All right!

- [Pilot] Radio transmitting.

I wanna hear the instant
the bomb is cut loose.

- [Lowell] Keep going, Kevin!

You're doing great!

- [Kevin] I've almost got it!

Just another second!

The strap is cut.

The bomb isn't falling.

- Son, you're gonna have to push it out!

- [Kevin] I'm trying! I can't reach it!

- [Lowell] I've got a tight hold of you.

Reach forward and give it a hard shove.

- [Kevin] I still can't reach it, Lowell!

- [Lowell] I've got you, Kevin!

I won't let you fall!

That's a promise!

There's still time, son!

(whooshing)

Come on!

(radio buzzing)

(booming)
(plane rumbling)

(screaming)

(radio static buzzing)

(dramatic music)

(gasping)

- [Kevin] Is it over?

- Just hold on, Kevin.

We haven't leveled out yet.

(laughing)

(dramatic music)

You hurt?

- No.

(laughing)

- We did it!

(laughing)

Yes!

- We did it!
(laughing)

- You did it!

I've known you for years,

I've watched your father groom you.

I knew you were special but
I didn't know how special.

He would've been incredible proud!

- British and French
reports tonight confirm

that U.S. Military maneuvers
did occur this evening

and the supports of Omar
Hassid are in disarray.

For more detail, we take you
now to a special U.N. report.

- [TV Report] That is correct.

- Madam Vice President.

- Oh, Gray!

They did it!

All right!

Everything's all right!

(laughing)

- Good morning.

While peaceful resolution
has been and always will be

our primary objective,

last night we were forced to
take action in the Middle East.

I'm happy to report that
the crisis has now ended.

That brings me to something
that saddens me to announce.

Yesterday, one of our
most decorated war heroes,

the chairman of our Joint Chiefs of Staff,

General James Metzger,

passed away while working
in the line of duty.

His efforts, and the brilliant guidance

of our Vice President, Elizabeth Lane,

have brought stability and
the possibility of real peace.

I join the American people
in sending our condolences

to the Metzger family,

our prayers and thoughts are with you.

Jim will be laid to rest

in Arlington National Cemetery on Tuesday

with full military honors.

Good morning and God bless us all.

(dramatic music)

- Hey, Mom, wait up!

- Come on!

- Go!
(laughing)

- [Kevin] Come on, Dad, we can beat her!
