President Down (2025) Movie Script
Its a historic day in global diplomacy.
Any moment now, inside the White House,
newly elected Russian President Nikolai Kasparov
is expected to sign a landmark accord,
signaling a dramatic shift from the isolationist era
of his predecessor, Ilya Aminoff.
[applause]
Thank you, President Kasparov.
Ladies and gentlemen, these trade agreements
and peace accord that President Kasparov and I
have just signed
are the first step to inviting Russia back to the table.
They signify the commitment of our great countries
to shape a mutually beneficial future,
to work hand in hand, to lead by example
towards a common goal of global peace for all.
This will set the foundation
for future generations of the world.
To feel safe.
To...
[grunts]
-Madame President? -Cat?
Mom.
Hey, let me in.
Starlight is down.
Evacuate the press now.
I say again, Starlight is down.
Lock down the perimeter. Nobody in our out.
Kasparov and his team are sfe, no shots fired.
What happened?
I think shes having a heart attack.
Madam president, we need to get you to the hospital.
I need you to get up, okay?
Reyes, on three. Lets get her up.
One, two, three.
Liberal candidate Nikolai Kasparov has narrowly
secured the Russian presidency,
heralding in a new day for Russia,
free of the iron grip of former President Ilya Aminoff,
whose policies have been called out by world leaders
as the reason for so much destabilization in the region.
Inaugural festivities are planned for
the next two days at the Kremlin
to celebrate this historic moment.
Kasparov will then travel to the United States next month,
where he and U.S. President Catherine Collins
will sign several trade pacts along with a peace accord
laying the groundwork for a new age of fellowship
and hope for U.S.-Russian and global relations.
[gunshot]
I didnt see. What happened out there?
She collapsed during her speech.
We caught her just before she hit the ground.
Thats good, thats good.
Bradycardia, irregular pulse, equal breath sounds.
78 over 40, run fluids.
Presidents going to be fine, Miss Collins.
Guardian, Stagecoach en route to lodge.
ETA 30 minutes with early morning traffic, well advise.
[shrieks]
Shes in heart block, third degree.
No, no, no, she has a pacemaker.
[coughing]
Okay, back in regular sinus.
Madam President?
Where...
Whats going on?
Call Amelia. Call Amelia.
Madam President, Amelia is fine.
Shes following us to the hospital.
What happened?
Your pacemaker malfunctioned,
Madam President, and you passed out.
Had I at least signed the accord?
Yes, maam. You most definitely did.
Thats a relief.
Thats not going to be a good look
fainting on national television.
Dont worry about it.
[phone rings]
Wheres my phone?
Got it here. Here, hold on.
Might be Amelia.
Its an unknown number. This is an encrypted line.
Its a message that says, "We control your pacemaker.
"The United States must immediately renounce
"and withdraw its support of Kasparov.
"Should you refuse, we will launch a nuclear weapon
"at the Kremlin.
You have 12 hours to comply."
Are they serious? Is this a joke?
Go on, read it.
I dont think this is a joke, Madam President.
Any attempt to alter your pacemaker, you die.
Can they do that? Can they hack into a pacemaker?
The new ones do have Wi-Fi access.
Some doctors use it to log in remotely
and adjust things on the way to the ER.
Can they use data or anything else besides Wi-Fi?
No, these devices only connect to a Wi-Fi connection.
"Any attempt to alter your pacemaker, you die.
"To show how serious we are,
"we will attack your pacemaker again
so you will be certain of who is in control."
[screams]
-Madam President. -Shes in heart block.
[groaning]
Hold on.
[coughing]
Shes back in regular sinus.
Youre going to be all right, Madam President.
[phone chimes]
"The countdown begins now.
"Every two hours, you will receive another attack.
"Each time we up the intensity of our wrath.
"Every time you will come closer to death
"until you do as youve been told.
Renounce Kasparov."
Two hours.
Madam President?
Weve got to get that pacemaker out ASAP.
Stagecoach, this is Tracer. Weve got traffic up ahead.
All lanes are closed at DuPont Circle.
Were going to need to divert to side streets. Over.
Call me that, Tracer. Stand by.
I know you wont like this,
but this is going to get us there faster.
Is that a Meraglim?
Yes, maam.
Intelligence is banned in America.
I should now. I banned it.
Im sorry to interrupt, Madam President,
but I need you to stop talking.
You need to rest and get your vitals up.
Tracer. Stagecoach.
Stagecoach, go ahead.
Divert to 20th.
The protocol is 22nd.
Im in DOTs ops, let me handle it.
Stagecoach, I know youre in charge,
but I would advise against it.
Youre going to get an Alpha Charlie
if you deviate from procedure.
-I will as well. -This will be on me.
This is the Presidents life.
Hang a right on 20th. Do it now.
Roger that.
Hang on.
[tires squeal]
Oh!
Ive got control of the traffic lights.
Well be there in less than five minutes.
Mom? Is she okay?
Shes stable, Miss Collins.
Youre welcome to follow us, but well need to get her situated.
We lost Dad to cancer less than a year ago.
Im not ready to lose her, too.
Amelia, I promise you were going to solve this
and figure out whos behind the messages in the text.
Im going to hold onto your moms phone for a while.
Thanks, Jake.
Agent Pike.
I have confirmed that this room is Wi-Fi free.
A room? Couldnt you get a whole wing?
I cant do the wing just yet.
Doctors and patients need Wi-Fi.
A move that big is going to take some coordination,
but they will start moving patients out to fully secure.
All right, Agents, Im going.
Copy that, Miss Collins. Well reconvene later.
How are you feeling, Mom?
Like Ive been hit by a Mack truck.
Im going to be fine.
I cant survive another loss like Dads.
Shh.
Im not going anywhere.
Okay...
Okay.
All right, you stay with the president.
I need to update Goddard on everything thats transpired.
Im going to have Mr. Marcus bring me the IMSI-catcher.
See if we can run a diagnostic and isolate
the origin of these texts.
Also, Im going to scan the presidents phone
and see if we can figure out
whos behind the hacking of the pacemaker
and see if this nuclear threat is viable or not.
-I want the best doctor now. -Yes, sir.
Everyone on the team is praying for her, sir.
Thank you.
Here comes Goddard. He looks pissed.
Reyes, would you escort the vice president
in the room, please?
Yes, sir. Mr. Vice President?
Pike.
Mr. Goddard, the presidents pacemaker was compromised today.
You know, I got a call from the supervisor
of the Department of Transportation
that there was a traffic light that was hacked
somewhere around 20th Street.
Do you know anything about that?
Yes, sir. That was me.
I used a Meraglim.
Okay, thats illegal.
Now, I know you were recruited based on your cracking skills,
but that doesnt give you carte blanche.
Sir, I was doing what I thought was necessary
to save the presidents life.
You put lives at risk.
Now, God forbid there was an accident.
The Presidents critics would have had a field day.
Madam President?
This is Dr. Amara Nabulsi and Nurse Sophia Bell.
Dr. Nabulsi is the chief of cardiology here.
And we attempted to reach out to Dr. Walsh,
the doctor that originally put in your pacemaker,
but his office said he was out of the country on vacation.
Theyre still trying to reach him now.
Thank you for coming, Doctor.
I wish the circumstances were different,
but I dont want you to worry.
Were going to take good care of you.
Please, lets get this damn thing out of me.
That is the plan, Madam President.
We have a replacement en route as we speak,
one that cannot be hacked,
no Wi-Fi access, just old school,
hands-on access only.
Wonderful, thank you.
Of course. Well head into surgery as soon as it arrives.
[door opens]
Jake.
Mr. Marcus.
Kaneko. Sorry to pull you off course.
We cant have criminals like yourself using this
to disable military drones again.
Thanks for bringing it, sir.
I just got off a call with DHS.
Theyve been picking up a lot of chatter
from the insurgent group, the Patriot Command,
especially in the last couple of hours.
Interpol has nothing outstanding,
but the FBI has drummed up some solid intel.
Patriot Command.
Theyve been on my radar for quite some time.
They have financial ties to Russia.
They run deep.
And theyve also been extremely vocal about
their disdain for President Collins.
Yeah, but would these guys have access to a nuke?
Chances are slim, but theyve been dealing
with a lot of bad insurgents probably.
Would they have the ability to hack a pacemaker, too?
Navi-Pace.
The manufacturer that makes the Presidents pacemaker.
It would require an access code for each pacemaker.
So it wouldnt be too hard to hack into
a Wi-Fi-enabled pacemaker if you had that code.
So then who has access to those codes?
Navi-Pace employees, medical staff?
Its a good place to start.
Okay, here we go.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has been tracking
investments made by the Patriot Command and their affiliates.
They purchased land and other hard assets
using mostly shell corporations.
If theyre Russian funded,
this could be a way around the current sanctions.
And they also have correspondence
with Alexei Serov.
I know that name.
Hes just on about everybodys terrorist watch list.
Basically rogue tribal warlord operating around
the Sunni region in Russia near the Ukraine border.
Hes reputed to have access to a nuclear weapon
through his connection with North Korea,
but this isnt verified.
Thats great, but how does this all tie together?
Because the SEC lists attempts by the Patriot Command
to buy large stock holdings of random medical companies
including property of a pacemaker manufacturer,
Navi-Pace.
Thats the connection.
We need to get down there and we need to see what we can find.
Navi-Pace is based out of New Orleans.
The Patriot Command known to have
a training facility there, too.
All right, now we got something.
Pike, I want you to bring all this to Mr. Goddard.
Tell them that we need to send a team there ASAP.
Yes, sir.
Ill have the IMSI running.
If it picks up anything unusual, let me know.
Yeah, of course.
Oh, shit. Let me check on the president.
She should be getting out of surgery.
[heart monitor beeping]
Im getting the doctor.
Dr. Nabulsi, somebody!
[groans]
Shes having another attack!
Madam president, breathe. Breathe.
Okay, the numbers are coming down.
Okay.
Shes stabilizing.
[sighs]
Doctor, were in a secured room
and the president was still attacked?
Why havent you removed the presidents pacemaker yet?
Were still waiting on a replacement.
Hospitals dont keep older model pacemakers on hand
and thats what we need to prevent the president
from future attacks.
It should arrive any minute.
Well, you can take this one out in the meantime.
Look, I understand your concern,
but given the presidents history of cardiomyopathy,
I dont want to risk removing the pacemaker
without having one on hand.
Mom, please be okay.
Wheres Charles?
Im here, Cat.
Excuse me.
I signed the document.
Amendment 25, Section 3.
Youre in charge.
Dont screw it up.
I wont, Cat.
But youre going to be back in no time.
If Im not, codes.
Im gonna be sick.
We must schedule a press conference
regarding my transfer to power.
With all due respect, sir, why?
If President Collins is no longer in charge,
whats the point of continuing to harm her?
Because theyre terrorists, sir.
Whether President Collins is an acting president or not,
she is still their hostage.
Ill keep your words in consideration, Agent.
Pike, with me.
Yes, sir.
Keep your emotions in check, Agent.
The president cannot fall under my watch.
Our watch. Okay?
Any new developments?
The Patriot Command is involved here.
Were still digging,
but considering the insurgents involved,
the threat is real.
Okay, elaborate.
We discovered that the Patriot Command
has been using hidden Russian funds
to make several large purchases,
including the warehouse where Navi-Pace is located.
Na... Isnt that the manufacturer
that makes the presidents pacemaker?
Yes, sir, thats correct.
Okay.
Where are we on the nuclear threat?
No leads on that just yet,
but were still considering how it ties into the pacemaker.
Okay, Ill call Special Ops.
Weve got an assault team out there to the warehouse.
Im putting you on point here.
Sir, Im the presidents lead detail.
Why would I be leaving?
Just hear me out. Youre good with tech.
The presidents pacemakers being attacked
electronically, remotely.
I need someone well versed in IT out there
in the field, on the team, and thats you.
Take Reyes with you.
I want both of you guys out there.
Yes, sir. Thank you.
Are you okay, Ms. Collins?
Yeah, Im just sick to my stomach, worried about my mom.
Any other symptoms?
I havent felt that great the last couple of mornings,
to be honest.
And is this usually how you feel?
Not usually.
Any fatigue or other unexplained nausea?
I guess last month or so, I...
You know, why dont I do some quick blood workup?
Thisll stay between us.
Okay, yes, thank you.
Morning, pretty lady.
Are you okay?
Did you tell Goddard about us yet?
No, not yet.
Hes gonna find out and youre gonna lose your job.
Im not gonna lose my job.
-I just got promoted. -You dont know that.
Look, you moved up to presidential detail
faster than any other agent in the service.
I... I cant jeopardize all of your hard work
for something that might not even last.
Wow.
Do you really believe that?
What if we just tell your mom?
It doesnt matter what she thinks.
Its about the voters. You know that.
Look...
You worked really hard, and so did my mom.
And Im not gonna let either of you throw that away.
Okay, I mean, shes meeting with the Russian president today,
signing an accord, bringing peace on earth.
I mean...
Im not telling my mom.
Yeah. Youre right.
Yeah, Im really gonna miss waking up to you every morning.
I am too.
Go, before youre late.
My mom will kill you if youre late today of all days,
and her favorite hobby is axe throwing.
Like you said, its your moms big day.
Gotta make sure this day goes perfectly.
Yeah.
All right?
Yeah.
Amelia.
What did Dr. Nabulsi have to say?
Just how...
Were talking about how Im worried about my mom is all.
Yeah.
Look...
We have a lead.
New Orleans.
[reporters shouting]
Good afternoon.
Im sure youve heard the news of President Collins collapse
at todays historic peace accord with Russia.
But Im here to happily report
that shes currently resting and in stable condition.
And she is receiving expert care.
However, in the meantime, weve enacted the 25th amendment
to ensure that our great nation continues to operate smoothly.
I will be acting commander in chief
until President Collins is well enough to return to her duties.
Thank you very much, and God bless America.
[reporters shouting]
The IMSI catcher didnt find anything unusual.
Seems whatever theyre using is highly encrypted.
Were just gonna have to dig deeper.
You mind if we take it with us?
I dont think low level Patriot Command is gonna be
that concerned about communication like their bosses.
Yeah, go for it. Take it.
Kaneko and Ill stay here and keep working.
-Stay connected. Be safe. -Thank you, sir.
-One more thing. -Yeah.
This is the presidents phone.
Itll be safer here with you.
Im certain that the hackers will be in contact.
Will you let me know when they do?
Yeah, of course.
Thank you, sir.
Not our first rodeo.
Anyone have eyes on Nurse Sophia?
Ill go look for her, sir.
Keep me updated, Marcus.
Nabulsis looking for you.
Theyre prepping for the presidents operation.
Lucky you, you found me first.
Wed better make this quick
before they send someone out looking for you, too.
Mmm.
This place looks deserted.
I thought it was supposed to be operational.
Yeah, I dont like it.
This doesnt seem right.
Oh, crap.
Call Goddard, run it by him.
Im on it.
[phone vibrates]
Mr. Goddard.
Yes, sir, were here, but it seems to be abandoned.
Doors are locked and theres a stay-out sign
posted by the Louisiana Department
of Public Safety and Corrections.
All right, let me put a call in.
How long is that going to take, sir?
Im going to make the call. You stand by.
What did he say?
Hes going to try to get us clearance.
He said to stand by.
We dont have time to wait.
What are you thinking, Pike?
Pike, Pike, come on, look.
You know, Im gonna start calling you AC for Alpha Charlie
because you love getting your ass chewed.
Were at war, Reese. Cant just sit around.
We need answers.
Strange.
Its already unlocked.
It is.
I got your six.
Might have a real threat inside.
Watch your corners.
After you.
Yeah, theyre definitely moving stuff in and out of here.
Yeah, somethings going on.
Clear.
All right, look.
We need to do a proper sweep of the building.
We need to find anything
that can tie this to the Patriot command
or the Russian insurgents.
Lets see what I can find in the office.
Ill cover you.
Reyes.
Patriot Command.
The name of the surgeon
that put in Starlights pacemaker six months ago
was Steven Walsh, right?
Yeah, sounds familiar.
All right, lets move.
All right, lets finish our sweep.
Looking for anything that ties to Patriot Command.
Okay.
[whispering]
[gunshot]
Man down! Man down!
Move.
I got you, buddy. I got you.
Meryls down! Meryls down!
Up top.
Hang in there, buddy. Hang in there.
[gunfire]
[gunfire]
[grunts]
Ah!
[gunfire]
Man down! Man down!
Hes alive!
Stay down. Dont move.
Dont move.
Federal agents, do not move.
Let me see your hands.
Lets talk.
No! No!
No! No, no, no!
[grunting]
Damn it!
Patriot Command.
Lets get Meryl. Get out of here.
Found Sophia.
She was sourcing some equipment for the surgery.
Shes heading back to Collins now.
-Thanks, Marcus. -Yeah, you bet.
[phone vibrates]
Pike.
Mr. Goddard, we investigated the warehouse.
After I specifically told you to wait?
They knew we were coming.
The team suffered a casualty.
Who?
Meryl, our sharpshooter.
God damn it. I told you to stand by
and wait for local law enforcement.
Then youd have backup to provide a perimeter.
We couldnt wait, sir. They knew we were coming.
Did you find anything?
Did you find anything, agent?
Yes.
Looks like something large was moved out of here recently.
There was Patriot propaganda everywhere.
All the deceased gunmen had their patches.
I also found a shipping confirmation
to the house of Dr. Stephen Walsh.
The surgeon that installed Starlights pacemaker.
Yes, sir.
Okay, Ill send Marcus and Kaneko to check it out.
Anything on the nuke?
Nothing on that front yet, sir.
But like I said, something large was moved out of here recently.
Maybe a dirty bomb?
Perhaps.
Look, Pike...
you cant be disobeying instructions in the field.
Im putting Reyes in charge of the team.
I understand, sir.
Put him on.
-But, sir... -What?
Is there a sit-rep on Starlight?
Shes going into surgery in 10 minutes.
Put Reyes on.
Goddard.
Sir.
Reyes, youre in charge now.
Stand by until you hear back from me.
Yes, sir.
[sighs]
-Marcus. -Yeah?
I need you to go over to
Dr. Stephen Walshs office immediately.
Kaneko, you go with him, okay? Check it out.
-Of course. -Got it.
Heres the presidents phone, sir.
Yep.
Stay frosty out there.
You bet.
Love you, Mom.
I love you, too.
Youre going to do great.
Amelia, can I speak with you?
Yeah.
I need to prep in for your mothers surgery,
but I wanted to let you know that your blood work came in.
And?
Youre pregnant.
[sighs]
Okay.
Oh...
Were going to give you a local anesthetic, Madam President.
Youre going to feel a bit lightheaded.
Just get this thing out of me.
Then let that go to work.
Youre going to feel like youre asleep or in a dreamlike state,
but you wont be totally out of it.
Yes, I remember.
Are we ready, nurse?
-Yes, doctor. -The patient is sedated?
The pacemaker is prepared.
Were just shy of an hour before the threat of the next shock.
Well barely make it.
Scalpel.
[alarm sounds]
Shes flatlining.
Get the oxygen on.
[phone chimes]
Oh, shit.
170. This is it.
Lets go.
Thats odd.
Were definitely not the first ones here.
Not by a long shot.
Dr. Walsh, federal agents.
Hello? Anybody here?
Shh.
Clear.
Is this him?
Yeah. Hes been dead a while.
Holy...
Whats this guy been up to?
I thought this guy was out of the country on vacation.
Im going to call for the coroner
and update Pike and Goddard.
Think you can get in?
Give me two minutes.
Pike, its Marcus.
-Hello, sir. -Hang tight.
Im going to loop you into Mr. Goddard.
Well, I dont think thats such a good idea, sir.
Goddard.
Its Marcus, sir. Found Dr. Walsh.
Hes dead.
What?
Strangled, most likely.
Are you sure its him?
Yes, sir. I recognize him.
How is she?
All right, we have her stabilized.
We have to get that thing out of her.
You saw the text.
So my mother is just supposed to die either way?
Amelia, please. Shes not going to die.
I promise.
How can you promise that when nobody can keep her safe?
Pike: Whats going on, sir?
Chaos happening.
Okay, listen, Pike, why are you on this call?
I looped him in, sir.
Is everything okay over there?
Starlight, she just got another shock.
This one practically flatlined her.
I mean, they knew she was being wheeled in
to remove the pacemaker.
Did you find anything at Dr. Walshs?
Yeah, we did.
This guy has a complex server set up here.
Why does a cardiologist need all that equipment?
Thats how theyre doing it.
What do you mean?
We discussed someone from Navi-Pace
retaining access to President Collins pacemaker.
Its been her original surgeon this whole time.
But if Walsh is dead, that means that someone else also
might have access codes to that.
Well likely know more once Kaneko hacks the server.
Okay, Ill bring the farm in on this.
Do a deep dive on Dr. Walshs history.
Triple check everybody on this team.
We only have about eight hours left.
I need answers on that nuke.
-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.
How is Starlight, sir?
Theyre weighing their options now.
May I suggest moving her to a CT or X-ray room?
That should block out any outside electronic interference.
Ill mention it.
How you doing, man?
Almost there.
And boom, cracked the server.
Kanekos into the server.
Ill wait.
Youre on speaker. Go ahead.
Aside from several deposits from an offshore account,
Walsh was using a Tor network.
Its more encrypted than a VPN, but not enough for me.
Walsh was able to ping Starlights pacemaker
from his home.
Thats why hes been able to attack her,
even though hes dead.
No, not exactly.
The doctors setup here was just a relay.
The Tors ISP is actually located in Las Vegas.
So we would go to Vegas, wed stop the connection,
and we find out whos behind this.
Ill ping you the target locations.
Lets Oscar Mike.
You almost done? Weve got to get out of here.
Lets just take this to the Hoover Building
so I can work on it in the lab.
All right, Im going to call forensics
and see what their ETA is.
Could it be something besides the Wi-Fi?
Can they control the data going to the pacemaker?
No, these devices are built for Wi-Fi connections only.
Agent Pike made a good decision to move the president to CT.
Those rooms are lined with lead,
so theyll likely block the signals.
We should be safe there.
Should isnt good enough.
My mother needs to be as protected as possible.
Thats why were moving her, Ms. Collins.
[whispers] On me.
Move!
[shouting]
[gunfire]
Move! Move! On the ground!
Ive got two rabbiting up the stairs, Im going after them!
Go, Ill cover you!
[gunfire]
[grunting]
[grunting]
Ugh!
[cracks]
Freeze right there, fella.
Lets have a little talk with your friends downstairs.
Drop your weapon!
Drop it.
Youre in no position to negotiate.
Drop the weapon.
You drop your weapon, or Im blowing his brains out.
Thats right.
Atta-boy.
Now lets go.
Ah!
Dont you move.
Get up.
Lets go.
Why is the secret service here anyway?
We dont run counterfeit.
That it downstairs?
All signs point to yes.
What do you pigs care about our TOR network?
You tried to kill federal officers.
What we want with your network
really doesnt matter now, does it?
Its not like you identified yourselves.
Just shut up.
-Weeks. -Come on, man.
Who are you working with?
I dont know what youre talking about.
We run an online betting site.
All legal.
You are Patriot Command. In bed with the Russians.
Then why waste your breath asking me?
To test your trustworthiness.
So far youre betting zero.
So happy to disappoint you.
Im going to give you another chance.
What do you know about the nukes?
[laughs]
Like a nuclear bomb?
Why didnt you ask? Its right down in the garage.
I mean, howd you miss it?
Okay.
Look, we just get paid money to keep the network running.
We keep trespassers off the property.
They dont tell us anything.
I dont know what theyre running on the server.
And I dont know anything about any nuke.
Something else is going on here.
We need to have another look around.
-Yeah. -Sounds good.
Its not going to matter.
[chuckles]
[beeps]
What did you do?
Its a detonator.
Get him. Lets go. Move!
Get out of here, come on!
We got to move. Lets go.
Come on. Move!
Damn.
All right.
Are you ready, Madam President?
Yes.
Please, lets get this over with.
Lets get her prepped.
Shes going to be okay.
[phone vibrates]
What is it?
All right, were going to get the anesthesia flowing,
some oxygen flowing.
Youre going to be great.
[beeping]
Madam President?
Oh!
Madam President?
Shes defibbing.
Get her into magnet mode now.
STAT.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Shes stabilizing.
Breathe. Relax.
Mom? Mom, are you okay?
What? You cant be in here.
You just said that she was safe in here.
Sir.
They shouldnt have access to her pacemaker anymore.
You need to calm down.
I...
I... if I dont make it...
No, no, no, no, no.
Mom, dont even dare say anything like that, okay?
I love you.
Hey! Hey, youre going to make it through, okay?
You got this. Youre strong.
How much more of this can her heart take?
Not much more, Im afraid.
Isnt there anywhere in this entire hospital
that doesnt have Wi-Fi?
I dont think its the Wi-Fi.
[gasps]
[coughs]
[coughing]
Its for a job well done.
Until I need your services again.
[speaks Russian]
[speaks Russian] my friend.
And farewell.
You do realize that your life
means nothing to the Russians, and clearly not yourself.
So if you want any semblance of a life left,
you better cooperate.
Now, what do you know about the nuke?
Look, I already told you.
I dont know anything about any nuclear bomb.
I want to speak to my lawyer.
Now.
Lets go. Out.
Yeah, watch it.
Lets go.
Was President Collins attacked again?
Yeah. Get Reyes on the phone.
-[phone rings] -Have a nice trip.
Reyes?
Its Marcus and Mr. Goddard on speaker.
Go.
Reyes.
I thought you took care of that, Agent.
Not quite, sir.
Coleman sent off C-4 and flattened the house.
Why?
Well, we moved Starlight to the CT room.
She was still attacked.
Agent.
Sir. Pike.
If these attacks keep happening, it cant be Wi-Fi enabled.
Walsh must have preloaded Starlights pacemaker
with some additional access codes.
Where does that leave us, then, Agent?
Well, the only place there wouldnt be interference
would be aboard Angel.
You want us to move the President onto Air Force One?
Yes, sir.
Its shielded for all types of electrical signals
once its in the air.
We all know that thats the safest plane on the planet.
Well take that into consideration then.
I hesitate to even ask about the nuke.
Batting zero on that, sir.
The Patriot Command leader here says
that they were just paid to protect the server.
And you believe him?
Yes, sir, I do.
All right.
Stand by until you hear back from me, okay, Agent?
Roger that.
Every time Pike makes a recommendation,
Starlight still gets shocked.
What are you saying, sir?
Dont you find that odd?
Sir, hes a good agent.
Yeah, I know.
Lets get Air Force One ready.
Copy that, sir.
Its Marcus.
Text from Kaneko.
It says Walshs TOR network is being pinged
from a cell phone triangulated to the Mint Casino.
Lets move.
We should be there in 10 minutes.
Once we get that cell phone, you can patch it into Kaneko.
That could hold the answer to everything:
the pacemaker, the nuke, all of it.
[phone rings]
Yes, sir.
Agent Reyes.
I understand youre en route to the Mint Casino
to investigate a possible server connection.
Yes, sir, Kaneko messaged Agent Pike.
Yeah, I want Pike back on the plane to D.C.
I... Im sorry, sir, can you say that again?
I said I want Agent Pike back in D.C.
If hes not back in D.C. as instructed,
both of your careers are toast.
Do you understand?
Yes, sir, Ill see that he gets there.
Advise me once youre at the Casino.
Whats wrong?
Goddard wants you back in D.C. or were both done.
What?
What did he say?
Didnt give a reason.
Shit, Jake, this makes no sense.
I mean, youre the IT guru, not me.
We need you.
So what?
Youre gonna physically force me to get on that plane?
Come on, man.
My hands are tied.
All right, look, well go to the Casino
and Ill get back to D.C.
Yeah.
Please, keep your eyes on the road.
Yes, sir.
So how are we going to play this?
Well, its not going to play
very well with three commandos running into a casino.
Ill fly solo.
Bring Kaneko into comms?
Yep, Roger that.
-Jacket? -There you go, buddy.
You want this?
All right, Kanekos linked in.
Kaneko: Hey, Pike, Ive hacked into the hotel security system.
I have access to all their codes,
room keys, and room safes.
Im going to text you the bypass code
for the freight elevator.
Get you up there without interruption.
The cell phone is in a master bedroom safe
in the presidential suite on the 11th floor.
Kaneko, Im going in.
We got company.
[grunting]
[panting]
[shrieks]
[grunting]
[gunshot]
Kaneko, going into the safe.
Left side of the bed.
Safe code is 1970.
I got it.
Come on, guys.
Is that it?
Kaneko?
Im here.
Im wiring you access to the Mint Casino phone
over the IMSI-catcher.
Copy that.
Sent.
And received.
Im going to need a few minutes to sort through the data.
Copy that.
Well wait to hear back from you.
I guess take me back to Nellis.
Go back to D.C.
Well be taking off fairly soon, maam.
And as soon as were up in the air,
were going to start immediately preparing for your surgery.
As soon as I get the go ahead from Dr. Nabulsi,
Ill notify ATC that will be dark
for the duration of the procedure,
which Im told is roughly an hour.
Yes, Mr. Goddard, provided there are no more surprises.
Thank you, agent.
I want this plane up in the air immediately.
No delays.
Air traffic control, this is Air Force One
preparing for takeoff.
Ladies and gentlemen, we have received our clearance.
Please buckle your seatbelt. Sit back and relax.
Well have you in the air in just a moment.
Mr. President, everyone on board has been triple vetted, sir.
Thank you, Agent Goddard.
Would you mind if I spoke freely, sir?
Sure.
Sir, I really feel were taking a chance with you on board here.
You have family, correct, Agent Goddard?
Yes, sir. I have a wife and two children.
And if one of them are having surgery,
you want to be with them, right?
Yes, sir.
Well, Catherine is my family.
Shes like my sister.
So Im going to be here to support her all the way through.
I can do my job just fine from here.
Besides, were in one the safest plane in the world.
Well be fine.
[phone rings]
[phone vibrates]
Amelia?
Jake, where are you?
Im getting ready to head back to D.C.
Whats going on there? Hows your mom?
They just boarded her on Air Force One like you suggested.
Good.
Shell finally be safe now.
I wanted to...
In case something happens, I just...
I wanted to tell you that...
[phone vibrates]
Amelia, Im sorry. I got to take this.
Call me the moment she gets out of surgery, okay?
Okay, but I...
[sighs]
Pike, I got something.
Lets hear it.
I just broke through.
The datas just encrypted numbers from two cell numbers.
One coming from Aleksei Serov.
So the nuclear threat is credible?
Well, we shouldnt turn a blind eye.
The SACs already been notified,
and theyre scrambling a team together in the region.
Thats good to hear.
You said there was a second number.
You think it could be connected to the pacemaker?
Likely yes, but thats one Im having a hard time with.
And due to time constraints,
I think we should just try calling it.
Whoevers cell it is, it wont answer a random call.
Can you misdirect it,
make it seem like its from the encrypted network?
Piece of cake.
Thats why they...
Pay you the crap wages.
Ill conference you in.
I dont know whats on the other line,
so we got to keep this short so they dont ping it.
Copy that.
Ready?
Put it through.
[phone ringing]
[phone vibrates]
I need to use the restroom. Ill be right back.
Uh, thats fine.
Looks like theyre not answering.
Wait, wait. Just give it a few more seconds.
Who is this?
[phone chimes]
Theres a false alert. Im checking on it.
Agent Cronin, go check Cabin A.
Who was that?
I dont know.
That voice sounded familiar.
All right, look, its time for you to make the big bucks.
I need a name.
I know, I saw.
But who?
Thats not whats important right now.
With Vegas compromised and likely Serov,
its time to move to Plan B.
Hold that thought, give me a second.
Are you good?
Yes.
Are you with me?
Okay, thats my girl.
Huh, the call was routed through an encrypted phone on Angel,
and it was a womans voice.
All right, how many women on board?
Hold on.
All right, I got the passenger list right here.
Their code names, obviously.
Everybody on board has to be on that list.
Its protocol.
Read out the names of the women.
Okay, we got Starlight, Amelia, and Captain,
but shes the pilot.
I think we can rule her out.
Dr. Nabulsi and Nurse Bell.
But thats it, man.
Are you sure?
100%.
Starlight has been attacked when Nabulsi was present,
so it has to be that nurse, Sophia.
Shes been in close proximity to Starlight
from the get-go.
Its possible she has a radio transmitter
circumventing our security measures this whole time.
Oh, man.
Kaneko, we cant trust anyone.
Ive got to get on that plane.
Well, how are you going to do that?
I dont know. Ill figure it out.
Ill call you back.
Its the nurse?
Affirmative.
I need to get on that plane.
You have a plan?
Just might.
[phone rings]
Kaneko. Yeah, whats the status of the strike team in Russia?
They took out Serov with a drone, sir.
Preliminary intel shows that they had an early
Russian SRF missile vehicle with the low-yield topple.
Could have easily hit the Kremlin from Sumy.
A strike team is en route to secure the site.
Good thing we took him out.
Anything else?
Well, has Agent Pike not contacted you, sir?
Pike? No.
When did you last speak with him?
I just got off the phone with him, sir.
Hes heading to Nellis to try to get on Angel.
We just found out that--
Sir?
[phone rings]
Its Goddard.
Reyes?
Put Pike on the phone now.
Youre on speaker, sir.
Goddard, sir.
You are not getting on this plane.
Sir, Angel has been compromised.
Im coming on board for backup.
The hell you are. You listen.
Youre going to make a ship-to-ship mid-air transfer
and tell everybody on board that were on to them.
I will handle things in the air.
You stand down, Agent.
Pull over.
Yeah, this is Special Agent in charge of Protective Operations
Jim Goddard.
Credential number Romeo-119027.
Ive got a rogue agent. His name is Jacob Pike.
Hes headed your way.
I want him stopped, and I want him detained.
Is that understood?
That is all.
-Good afternoon. -Hows it going?
IDs, please.
How many of you?
Just two of us.
I need you to pop that trunk.
Go for it.
[detector beeping]
All clear.
-Thank you. -Thank you, gentlemen.
-Good day. -Have a good one.
Two, three.
Got it.
How much you weigh?
Its all muscle mass.
Well switch next time.
That was a good call,
anticipating Goddard would put an alert on you.
Yeah.
Lets get this in the air.
Boys, everything good?
Attention, everyone.
Well be shutting down all communications at this time.
Well have it back up and running
the second the Presidents surgery is complete.
ETA, one hour.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Marcus, were compromised.
I know.
Sorry about this, Jim.
Its nothing personal.
Okay, were ready to begin. We need everyone to step out.
Or we could just end it now.
Cat...
If theres another hiccup, do not resuscitate.
I dont remember you signing a DNR.
Mom...
Dont you want to meet your granddaughter?
Or grandson?
Is it true?
My sweet child.
So Im really going to need you.
Ill be here for my grandchild.
-Yes, you will. -And for you.
Lets get this surgery underway.
Shes going to be okay now.
Yeah.
Im just going to go take a moment.
[knocking]
Come in.
Agent Marcus.
Have they started the surgery yet?
All ready, maam?
As ready as Ill ever be.
Were going to start with anesthesia.
Ah!
[muffled shouting]
Hey, back the fuck up.
[muffled shout]
What was all that racket?
Dr. Nabulsis taken care of.
It was you? Both of you.
Keep your voice down.
[sighs] Just text him.
Just text him.
[gasps]
Answer me!
Remember...
Ivan Belsky?
He was one of those you had targeted
by a Ground Branch hit team?
He was my father.
When I saw the opportunity to help Dr. Walsh
to make America suffer like it made me suffer, I took it.
We dont sanction assassins.
Liar!
Therell be plenty of time for that later.
Got it.
All right, ETA, two minutes.
Aminoff needs to be reinstated into power.
Its that simple.
Without Russia to keep America in check,
we are on the precipice of World War III.
We thought interrupting your pacemaker
would make you see reason,
but clearly thats not happening.
So good news, were going to keep you alive for now,
but... bad news.
Im going to tell the pilots to stop circling DC
and were going to go somewhere remote
and then were going to launch the nuke.
Unless you denounce Kasparov.
Do you hear me?
I hear you.
[coughs]
Keep that on her.
Mm.
[sighs]
Sorry, about that. Thats the best we can do.
Itll work.
It has to.
All right, so Air Force Ones at 20,000 feet.
Im going to signal the plane
and try to get her down to 10,000 for you.
Thank you.
Now these magnetic clips will help you
hold onto the other plane.
Now, theres still a possibility
that you could freeze to death or run out of oxygen.
We dont have a choice.
All right, Ill pull up to her.
Hopefully these guys know Morse code.
Whats going on?
What do they want?
Lower. Lower.
Lower.
Any change of heart, Madam President?
I will never back a war criminal.
Do you even know how to use that?
Oh, we have an idea.
Wheres President Roberts?
Dead.
And the gold code for the day is Tango Alpha.
And the destination?
Washington D.C.
Now, all we need is a retinal scan.
And we can do that, whether youre dead or alive.
Back up. Back up. There.
Open your eyes and look at the monitor.
Open your eyes!
Open her eyes for her.
Capture.
Launch code verified.
Launch sequence activated.
Five, four, three, two, one.
Launch.
Pike, we need to get you on that plane now.
I dont think Goddard waited. Theyre signaling SOS back.
Okay.
Listen, theyre going to lower the plane.
I told them to get it to at least 10,000 feet.
Theyre at 15 now.
All right.
Dont forget to take a deep breath before you jump.
Hold it as long you can.
You got this, Pike.
[gasps]
Jake?
[shouts]
What?
Open the door!
Clear the door!
Clear the door!
Open the door, Amelia!
Opening!
What was that?
I think were changing altitude.
[groans]
[gasps]
-Amelia! -Jake!
-Amelia! -Grab my hand!
Oh, you bastard.
My hand!
Pull me in!
Come on! Come on!
Whats wrong with you? Youre insane!
Unhook me! Unhook me!
Yeah!
He made it!
Get back! Get back!
[grunting]
Marcus, why?
You recruited me!
Havent you seen the signs, Pike?
Americas finished!
Youre finished!
[screams]
Good job.
Come on.
-Its Sophia. -I know.
Shes with my mom.
I gotta get this off.
I need you to stay here, okay?
Keep still, Madam President.
You know youre not in charge now.
[gunshot]
-Easy. -Do not move!
Stay there.
Madam President, are you okay?
They launched a nuclear missile at D.C., 30 minutes out.
How do we stop it?
You cant.
There has to be a way.
Welcome to World War III.
And remember, you did this.
Theres no override codes?
I told you, you...
[groans]
Madam President!
Drop it! Drop it!
Put it down!
Dr. Walsh!
A radio transmitter.
Simple, yes?
Wi-Fi for the first attack,
so we wouldnt have to be too close.
But we knew you would figure that out so...
[gunshot]
Jake.
Thank you very much, Sophia.
Thats all we actually needed from you.
By the way, we are avoiding World War III.
Avoiding a war by launching a nuclear warhead?
There will be some blood spilled, yes, but no World War.
No one benefits from a war of that magnitude, Agent Pike.
Help me understand this.
I will oblige, Madam President.
This will make Kasparov seem like an incompetent president.
Accidental nuclear launch due to system error.
Kasparov will take the blame.
And with the destruction of D.C., poof,
America will be crippled for a while.
Aminoff will be reinstated.
And I, yours truly,
have been promised a very, very high position for my efforts.
And by the time America recovers, if it does,
Mother Russia will once again be the global dominant power.
With me.
Amelia, why dont you join us?
Amelia, they launched a nuke at D.C.
-No- -Shh....
Do me a favor, just kindly move over to the wall, right?
Dont, dont do that.
Dont try anything stupid, okay?
Agent Pike, if the both of you are here,
does that mean that Marcus is no longer with us?
We threw him off the plane.
[laughing]
You did?
Well, that just actually brought you your life back, agent.
Because I may need your IT experience
should something go wrong.
Jake!
Its okay, its alright.
Hey, I didnt hit anything vital.
I just need him incapacitated for a little while.
[groans]
Shh, you hear that?
Are there any escort fighters out there?
No.
And what about the Doomsday plane
that follows Air Force One?
You all think Im stupid, right?
Thank God I took care of that.
Amelia, I think I need you to come with me
to make sure nobody else does any funny business.
And actually you can help me fly the plane while youre at it.
Ive never flown this model aircraft before.
How about if I put a few holes in your mother?
Okay, Ill go with you.
Good girl.
Close that football.
Close it!
Thank you.
Pick it up. Lets go.
Go.
Move. Move!
Agent Pike.
Hang on.
[groans]
What are you gonna do?
[grunts]
I dont have an access card.
Madam President, Im gonna need you to get off that table.
So this is where the magic happens.
Put the football on the desk.
Put it on the desk!
Open it.
Down on your knees. On your knees!
Hands behind your head.
Madam President, cover your ears.
What was that?
It sounded like an explosion.
Go check it out.
What was that? What was that?
No!
Stop! Stop!
Shut up! What did I tell you?
Bitch!
All right, come on.
Walsh is probably in the control room.
Wait here.
Im going after him.
-Do not do anything stupid! -Walsh!
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!
You are much too slow, Agent Pike.
Isnt that the mother of your future 100 babies,
if there is a future?
Put the freaking gun down!
Put it down!
All right. Im putting it down.
Just please, dont hurt her.
I so wanted to put a bullet
right here through her damn skull.
That was really stupid what you just did.
And now Im just gonna finish you.
For Mother Russia.
Mr. Goddard.
Damn it.
Oh, my God.
Amelia, I need you to do your best to fly this plane
while the President and I try to stop the nuke.
Okay?
We need to open up comms again.
You need to get in touch with Vandenberg,
and you need to tell them to initiate emergency protocols
if they havent already.
All right? You can do this.
Copy.
You cant stop it, Agent.
All right, Amelia.
Autopilot disengaged.
Youre trained for this.
I could try and tie in the missiles trajectory
into the MDA, see if they can shoot it down over the ocean.
-Not this one. -Why not?
This is a Perses Hypersonic MK-11.
It moves too fast and too low
for anything or anyone to shoot it down.
Man: Angel! Vandenberg, you copy?
Go ahead, Vandenberg.
Weve been trying to contact you.
Comms were dark for over an hour, Angel.
I know, were having some problems up here.
The Missile Defense Agency has detected
a nuclear threat fast approaching the Eastern Shore.
Confirming ETA in five minutes.
Copy, were aware.
Were working on it from our end, Ill keep you apprised.
Angel out.
Ive got to try something, Madam President.
Where are you going?
Where is it? Where is this thing?
Come on.
I had it here.
Yes.
Agent Pike.
The Meraglim.
I should have thought of this before.
Whats that going to do?
Imagine two people trying to communicate
that speak different languages.
Eventually, they just give up.
What exactly are you doing?
Im writing code.
Code that it wont understand into the system.
Autopilot engaged.
I put on autopilot away from D.C.,
but I dont know how far itll get us.
Whats going on? How much time do we have?
I can do this.
[alarm sounds]
What is that? What does that alarm mean?
We lost the network signal.
It went down over the Atlantic Ocean.
Does that mean we stopped it?
You did it.
[laughing]
You did it, Agent Pike.
[laughing]
Hows she doing?
Shes resting.
Amelia, I almost lost you today.
Im not going to lose you again.
I want us to be together.
And if that means losing my job, then so be it.
Jake... shh.
Sorry.
If you want to, of course.
But I cant deny what we had
isnt special or great, Amelia.
How stupid you two must think I am.
Im the President of the United States.
Its my job to know things.
Do you really think you could hide
how you two feel for each other from me?
Are you okay with it?
It depends.
Does he know?
Do I... Do I know about what?
Jake...
Im pregnant.
Youre kidding.
Thats great news.
Yeah?
Youre going to be a mom.
Im going to be a dad.
Okay, I dont have a problem.
But I have a request.
No, its an order.
You get married ASAP before the press finds out about it.
Such a romantic proposal, Mom.
Hey, what do you say?
Yeah.
-Okay. -Okay.
-Lets land this plane. -Yeah.
Almost done.
Gear down.
At least The weathers on our side.
[alarm sounds]
Come on.
The landing gear is shot.
Tower, Air Force One, we have a problem.
Landing gear wont come down.
Thats probably Marcuss doing.
Roger, Air Force One, were rolling the trucks.
You are clear to land, any runway.
Madam President, Im going to need your seat.
Copy, Tower, were coming in hot.
Im going to have to throttle down to pull up.
Okay.
On my mark, we both pull the yokes together.
We land this together.
If anything happens...
We cant let it.
Right.
-I love you. -I love you.
Now!
[grunting]
Ah!
I cant, its too tight.
[alarm sounds]
Come on.
We got it!
-We got it! -We got it!
[shouting]
[grunts]
[panting]
Are you okay?
Yeah. Are you okay, Mom?
Im okay. Im okay.
We did it!
[siren blaring]
Angel landed.
Weve got the emergency call in. They should be here any minute.
Come on.
My grandchilds father just saved all our asses.
Well done, Jake.
I couldnt have done it without you two.
Are you sure you dont want to come with us?
Ill catch up with you soon.
Ive got to deal with the mess
with the loss of Mr. Goddard and Marcus.
Okay.
Ill see you soon.
[laughing]
Yes, no, its not that. Its...
[laughing]
Hello, lovely ladies, how did the surgery go?
Oh, already that comfortable, huh?
Im sorry, Madam President.
[laughing]
Youre among family now.
But out there?
Understood, Madam President.
Since you asked, the surgery went very well.
My doctor tells me that my new pacer cannot be hacked.
No Wi-Fi, transmitter, Bluetooth, airy-fairy,
old-school, hands-on access only.
Thats great news.
Did you find out any more information about Dr. Walsh?
I did.
Hes actually Sergey "Vanya" Lebedev,
a former Spetsnaz GRU surgeon,
living in the U.S. for the last 15 years as Dr. Walsh.
He was promised the prime minister of Russia
if Aminoff became president again.
Wow.
With the terrorists and Patriot Command gone,
America is a much safer place than it was 24 hours ago,
thanks to the two of you.
Well, Ive been meaning to ask,
are you sure youre ready for this?
I mean, having children is a big responsibility.
I think after yesterday, were ready for anything.
Thats true.
I agree.
Any moment now, inside the White House,
newly elected Russian President Nikolai Kasparov
is expected to sign a landmark accord,
signaling a dramatic shift from the isolationist era
of his predecessor, Ilya Aminoff.
[applause]
Thank you, President Kasparov.
Ladies and gentlemen, these trade agreements
and peace accord that President Kasparov and I
have just signed
are the first step to inviting Russia back to the table.
They signify the commitment of our great countries
to shape a mutually beneficial future,
to work hand in hand, to lead by example
towards a common goal of global peace for all.
This will set the foundation
for future generations of the world.
To feel safe.
To...
[grunts]
-Madame President? -Cat?
Mom.
Hey, let me in.
Starlight is down.
Evacuate the press now.
I say again, Starlight is down.
Lock down the perimeter. Nobody in our out.
Kasparov and his team are sfe, no shots fired.
What happened?
I think shes having a heart attack.
Madam president, we need to get you to the hospital.
I need you to get up, okay?
Reyes, on three. Lets get her up.
One, two, three.
Liberal candidate Nikolai Kasparov has narrowly
secured the Russian presidency,
heralding in a new day for Russia,
free of the iron grip of former President Ilya Aminoff,
whose policies have been called out by world leaders
as the reason for so much destabilization in the region.
Inaugural festivities are planned for
the next two days at the Kremlin
to celebrate this historic moment.
Kasparov will then travel to the United States next month,
where he and U.S. President Catherine Collins
will sign several trade pacts along with a peace accord
laying the groundwork for a new age of fellowship
and hope for U.S.-Russian and global relations.
[gunshot]
I didnt see. What happened out there?
She collapsed during her speech.
We caught her just before she hit the ground.
Thats good, thats good.
Bradycardia, irregular pulse, equal breath sounds.
78 over 40, run fluids.
Presidents going to be fine, Miss Collins.
Guardian, Stagecoach en route to lodge.
ETA 30 minutes with early morning traffic, well advise.
[shrieks]
Shes in heart block, third degree.
No, no, no, she has a pacemaker.
[coughing]
Okay, back in regular sinus.
Madam President?
Where...
Whats going on?
Call Amelia. Call Amelia.
Madam President, Amelia is fine.
Shes following us to the hospital.
What happened?
Your pacemaker malfunctioned,
Madam President, and you passed out.
Had I at least signed the accord?
Yes, maam. You most definitely did.
Thats a relief.
Thats not going to be a good look
fainting on national television.
Dont worry about it.
[phone rings]
Wheres my phone?
Got it here. Here, hold on.
Might be Amelia.
Its an unknown number. This is an encrypted line.
Its a message that says, "We control your pacemaker.
"The United States must immediately renounce
"and withdraw its support of Kasparov.
"Should you refuse, we will launch a nuclear weapon
"at the Kremlin.
You have 12 hours to comply."
Are they serious? Is this a joke?
Go on, read it.
I dont think this is a joke, Madam President.
Any attempt to alter your pacemaker, you die.
Can they do that? Can they hack into a pacemaker?
The new ones do have Wi-Fi access.
Some doctors use it to log in remotely
and adjust things on the way to the ER.
Can they use data or anything else besides Wi-Fi?
No, these devices only connect to a Wi-Fi connection.
"Any attempt to alter your pacemaker, you die.
"To show how serious we are,
"we will attack your pacemaker again
so you will be certain of who is in control."
[screams]
-Madam President. -Shes in heart block.
[groaning]
Hold on.
[coughing]
Shes back in regular sinus.
Youre going to be all right, Madam President.
[phone chimes]
"The countdown begins now.
"Every two hours, you will receive another attack.
"Each time we up the intensity of our wrath.
"Every time you will come closer to death
"until you do as youve been told.
Renounce Kasparov."
Two hours.
Madam President?
Weve got to get that pacemaker out ASAP.
Stagecoach, this is Tracer. Weve got traffic up ahead.
All lanes are closed at DuPont Circle.
Were going to need to divert to side streets. Over.
Call me that, Tracer. Stand by.
I know you wont like this,
but this is going to get us there faster.
Is that a Meraglim?
Yes, maam.
Intelligence is banned in America.
I should now. I banned it.
Im sorry to interrupt, Madam President,
but I need you to stop talking.
You need to rest and get your vitals up.
Tracer. Stagecoach.
Stagecoach, go ahead.
Divert to 20th.
The protocol is 22nd.
Im in DOTs ops, let me handle it.
Stagecoach, I know youre in charge,
but I would advise against it.
Youre going to get an Alpha Charlie
if you deviate from procedure.
-I will as well. -This will be on me.
This is the Presidents life.
Hang a right on 20th. Do it now.
Roger that.
Hang on.
[tires squeal]
Oh!
Ive got control of the traffic lights.
Well be there in less than five minutes.
Mom? Is she okay?
Shes stable, Miss Collins.
Youre welcome to follow us, but well need to get her situated.
We lost Dad to cancer less than a year ago.
Im not ready to lose her, too.
Amelia, I promise you were going to solve this
and figure out whos behind the messages in the text.
Im going to hold onto your moms phone for a while.
Thanks, Jake.
Agent Pike.
I have confirmed that this room is Wi-Fi free.
A room? Couldnt you get a whole wing?
I cant do the wing just yet.
Doctors and patients need Wi-Fi.
A move that big is going to take some coordination,
but they will start moving patients out to fully secure.
All right, Agents, Im going.
Copy that, Miss Collins. Well reconvene later.
How are you feeling, Mom?
Like Ive been hit by a Mack truck.
Im going to be fine.
I cant survive another loss like Dads.
Shh.
Im not going anywhere.
Okay...
Okay.
All right, you stay with the president.
I need to update Goddard on everything thats transpired.
Im going to have Mr. Marcus bring me the IMSI-catcher.
See if we can run a diagnostic and isolate
the origin of these texts.
Also, Im going to scan the presidents phone
and see if we can figure out
whos behind the hacking of the pacemaker
and see if this nuclear threat is viable or not.
-I want the best doctor now. -Yes, sir.
Everyone on the team is praying for her, sir.
Thank you.
Here comes Goddard. He looks pissed.
Reyes, would you escort the vice president
in the room, please?
Yes, sir. Mr. Vice President?
Pike.
Mr. Goddard, the presidents pacemaker was compromised today.
You know, I got a call from the supervisor
of the Department of Transportation
that there was a traffic light that was hacked
somewhere around 20th Street.
Do you know anything about that?
Yes, sir. That was me.
I used a Meraglim.
Okay, thats illegal.
Now, I know you were recruited based on your cracking skills,
but that doesnt give you carte blanche.
Sir, I was doing what I thought was necessary
to save the presidents life.
You put lives at risk.
Now, God forbid there was an accident.
The Presidents critics would have had a field day.
Madam President?
This is Dr. Amara Nabulsi and Nurse Sophia Bell.
Dr. Nabulsi is the chief of cardiology here.
And we attempted to reach out to Dr. Walsh,
the doctor that originally put in your pacemaker,
but his office said he was out of the country on vacation.
Theyre still trying to reach him now.
Thank you for coming, Doctor.
I wish the circumstances were different,
but I dont want you to worry.
Were going to take good care of you.
Please, lets get this damn thing out of me.
That is the plan, Madam President.
We have a replacement en route as we speak,
one that cannot be hacked,
no Wi-Fi access, just old school,
hands-on access only.
Wonderful, thank you.
Of course. Well head into surgery as soon as it arrives.
[door opens]
Jake.
Mr. Marcus.
Kaneko. Sorry to pull you off course.
We cant have criminals like yourself using this
to disable military drones again.
Thanks for bringing it, sir.
I just got off a call with DHS.
Theyve been picking up a lot of chatter
from the insurgent group, the Patriot Command,
especially in the last couple of hours.
Interpol has nothing outstanding,
but the FBI has drummed up some solid intel.
Patriot Command.
Theyve been on my radar for quite some time.
They have financial ties to Russia.
They run deep.
And theyve also been extremely vocal about
their disdain for President Collins.
Yeah, but would these guys have access to a nuke?
Chances are slim, but theyve been dealing
with a lot of bad insurgents probably.
Would they have the ability to hack a pacemaker, too?
Navi-Pace.
The manufacturer that makes the Presidents pacemaker.
It would require an access code for each pacemaker.
So it wouldnt be too hard to hack into
a Wi-Fi-enabled pacemaker if you had that code.
So then who has access to those codes?
Navi-Pace employees, medical staff?
Its a good place to start.
Okay, here we go.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has been tracking
investments made by the Patriot Command and their affiliates.
They purchased land and other hard assets
using mostly shell corporations.
If theyre Russian funded,
this could be a way around the current sanctions.
And they also have correspondence
with Alexei Serov.
I know that name.
Hes just on about everybodys terrorist watch list.
Basically rogue tribal warlord operating around
the Sunni region in Russia near the Ukraine border.
Hes reputed to have access to a nuclear weapon
through his connection with North Korea,
but this isnt verified.
Thats great, but how does this all tie together?
Because the SEC lists attempts by the Patriot Command
to buy large stock holdings of random medical companies
including property of a pacemaker manufacturer,
Navi-Pace.
Thats the connection.
We need to get down there and we need to see what we can find.
Navi-Pace is based out of New Orleans.
The Patriot Command known to have
a training facility there, too.
All right, now we got something.
Pike, I want you to bring all this to Mr. Goddard.
Tell them that we need to send a team there ASAP.
Yes, sir.
Ill have the IMSI running.
If it picks up anything unusual, let me know.
Yeah, of course.
Oh, shit. Let me check on the president.
She should be getting out of surgery.
[heart monitor beeping]
Im getting the doctor.
Dr. Nabulsi, somebody!
[groans]
Shes having another attack!
Madam president, breathe. Breathe.
Okay, the numbers are coming down.
Okay.
Shes stabilizing.
[sighs]
Doctor, were in a secured room
and the president was still attacked?
Why havent you removed the presidents pacemaker yet?
Were still waiting on a replacement.
Hospitals dont keep older model pacemakers on hand
and thats what we need to prevent the president
from future attacks.
It should arrive any minute.
Well, you can take this one out in the meantime.
Look, I understand your concern,
but given the presidents history of cardiomyopathy,
I dont want to risk removing the pacemaker
without having one on hand.
Mom, please be okay.
Wheres Charles?
Im here, Cat.
Excuse me.
I signed the document.
Amendment 25, Section 3.
Youre in charge.
Dont screw it up.
I wont, Cat.
But youre going to be back in no time.
If Im not, codes.
Im gonna be sick.
We must schedule a press conference
regarding my transfer to power.
With all due respect, sir, why?
If President Collins is no longer in charge,
whats the point of continuing to harm her?
Because theyre terrorists, sir.
Whether President Collins is an acting president or not,
she is still their hostage.
Ill keep your words in consideration, Agent.
Pike, with me.
Yes, sir.
Keep your emotions in check, Agent.
The president cannot fall under my watch.
Our watch. Okay?
Any new developments?
The Patriot Command is involved here.
Were still digging,
but considering the insurgents involved,
the threat is real.
Okay, elaborate.
We discovered that the Patriot Command
has been using hidden Russian funds
to make several large purchases,
including the warehouse where Navi-Pace is located.
Na... Isnt that the manufacturer
that makes the presidents pacemaker?
Yes, sir, thats correct.
Okay.
Where are we on the nuclear threat?
No leads on that just yet,
but were still considering how it ties into the pacemaker.
Okay, Ill call Special Ops.
Weve got an assault team out there to the warehouse.
Im putting you on point here.
Sir, Im the presidents lead detail.
Why would I be leaving?
Just hear me out. Youre good with tech.
The presidents pacemakers being attacked
electronically, remotely.
I need someone well versed in IT out there
in the field, on the team, and thats you.
Take Reyes with you.
I want both of you guys out there.
Yes, sir. Thank you.
Are you okay, Ms. Collins?
Yeah, Im just sick to my stomach, worried about my mom.
Any other symptoms?
I havent felt that great the last couple of mornings,
to be honest.
And is this usually how you feel?
Not usually.
Any fatigue or other unexplained nausea?
I guess last month or so, I...
You know, why dont I do some quick blood workup?
Thisll stay between us.
Okay, yes, thank you.
Morning, pretty lady.
Are you okay?
Did you tell Goddard about us yet?
No, not yet.
Hes gonna find out and youre gonna lose your job.
Im not gonna lose my job.
-I just got promoted. -You dont know that.
Look, you moved up to presidential detail
faster than any other agent in the service.
I... I cant jeopardize all of your hard work
for something that might not even last.
Wow.
Do you really believe that?
What if we just tell your mom?
It doesnt matter what she thinks.
Its about the voters. You know that.
Look...
You worked really hard, and so did my mom.
And Im not gonna let either of you throw that away.
Okay, I mean, shes meeting with the Russian president today,
signing an accord, bringing peace on earth.
I mean...
Im not telling my mom.
Yeah. Youre right.
Yeah, Im really gonna miss waking up to you every morning.
I am too.
Go, before youre late.
My mom will kill you if youre late today of all days,
and her favorite hobby is axe throwing.
Like you said, its your moms big day.
Gotta make sure this day goes perfectly.
Yeah.
All right?
Yeah.
Amelia.
What did Dr. Nabulsi have to say?
Just how...
Were talking about how Im worried about my mom is all.
Yeah.
Look...
We have a lead.
New Orleans.
[reporters shouting]
Good afternoon.
Im sure youve heard the news of President Collins collapse
at todays historic peace accord with Russia.
But Im here to happily report
that shes currently resting and in stable condition.
And she is receiving expert care.
However, in the meantime, weve enacted the 25th amendment
to ensure that our great nation continues to operate smoothly.
I will be acting commander in chief
until President Collins is well enough to return to her duties.
Thank you very much, and God bless America.
[reporters shouting]
The IMSI catcher didnt find anything unusual.
Seems whatever theyre using is highly encrypted.
Were just gonna have to dig deeper.
You mind if we take it with us?
I dont think low level Patriot Command is gonna be
that concerned about communication like their bosses.
Yeah, go for it. Take it.
Kaneko and Ill stay here and keep working.
-Stay connected. Be safe. -Thank you, sir.
-One more thing. -Yeah.
This is the presidents phone.
Itll be safer here with you.
Im certain that the hackers will be in contact.
Will you let me know when they do?
Yeah, of course.
Thank you, sir.
Not our first rodeo.
Anyone have eyes on Nurse Sophia?
Ill go look for her, sir.
Keep me updated, Marcus.
Nabulsis looking for you.
Theyre prepping for the presidents operation.
Lucky you, you found me first.
Wed better make this quick
before they send someone out looking for you, too.
Mmm.
This place looks deserted.
I thought it was supposed to be operational.
Yeah, I dont like it.
This doesnt seem right.
Oh, crap.
Call Goddard, run it by him.
Im on it.
[phone vibrates]
Mr. Goddard.
Yes, sir, were here, but it seems to be abandoned.
Doors are locked and theres a stay-out sign
posted by the Louisiana Department
of Public Safety and Corrections.
All right, let me put a call in.
How long is that going to take, sir?
Im going to make the call. You stand by.
What did he say?
Hes going to try to get us clearance.
He said to stand by.
We dont have time to wait.
What are you thinking, Pike?
Pike, Pike, come on, look.
You know, Im gonna start calling you AC for Alpha Charlie
because you love getting your ass chewed.
Were at war, Reese. Cant just sit around.
We need answers.
Strange.
Its already unlocked.
It is.
I got your six.
Might have a real threat inside.
Watch your corners.
After you.
Yeah, theyre definitely moving stuff in and out of here.
Yeah, somethings going on.
Clear.
All right, look.
We need to do a proper sweep of the building.
We need to find anything
that can tie this to the Patriot command
or the Russian insurgents.
Lets see what I can find in the office.
Ill cover you.
Reyes.
Patriot Command.
The name of the surgeon
that put in Starlights pacemaker six months ago
was Steven Walsh, right?
Yeah, sounds familiar.
All right, lets move.
All right, lets finish our sweep.
Looking for anything that ties to Patriot Command.
Okay.
[whispering]
[gunshot]
Man down! Man down!
Move.
I got you, buddy. I got you.
Meryls down! Meryls down!
Up top.
Hang in there, buddy. Hang in there.
[gunfire]
[gunfire]
[grunts]
Ah!
[gunfire]
Man down! Man down!
Hes alive!
Stay down. Dont move.
Dont move.
Federal agents, do not move.
Let me see your hands.
Lets talk.
No! No!
No! No, no, no!
[grunting]
Damn it!
Patriot Command.
Lets get Meryl. Get out of here.
Found Sophia.
She was sourcing some equipment for the surgery.
Shes heading back to Collins now.
-Thanks, Marcus. -Yeah, you bet.
[phone vibrates]
Pike.
Mr. Goddard, we investigated the warehouse.
After I specifically told you to wait?
They knew we were coming.
The team suffered a casualty.
Who?
Meryl, our sharpshooter.
God damn it. I told you to stand by
and wait for local law enforcement.
Then youd have backup to provide a perimeter.
We couldnt wait, sir. They knew we were coming.
Did you find anything?
Did you find anything, agent?
Yes.
Looks like something large was moved out of here recently.
There was Patriot propaganda everywhere.
All the deceased gunmen had their patches.
I also found a shipping confirmation
to the house of Dr. Stephen Walsh.
The surgeon that installed Starlights pacemaker.
Yes, sir.
Okay, Ill send Marcus and Kaneko to check it out.
Anything on the nuke?
Nothing on that front yet, sir.
But like I said, something large was moved out of here recently.
Maybe a dirty bomb?
Perhaps.
Look, Pike...
you cant be disobeying instructions in the field.
Im putting Reyes in charge of the team.
I understand, sir.
Put him on.
-But, sir... -What?
Is there a sit-rep on Starlight?
Shes going into surgery in 10 minutes.
Put Reyes on.
Goddard.
Sir.
Reyes, youre in charge now.
Stand by until you hear back from me.
Yes, sir.
[sighs]
-Marcus. -Yeah?
I need you to go over to
Dr. Stephen Walshs office immediately.
Kaneko, you go with him, okay? Check it out.
-Of course. -Got it.
Heres the presidents phone, sir.
Yep.
Stay frosty out there.
You bet.
Love you, Mom.
I love you, too.
Youre going to do great.
Amelia, can I speak with you?
Yeah.
I need to prep in for your mothers surgery,
but I wanted to let you know that your blood work came in.
And?
Youre pregnant.
[sighs]
Okay.
Oh...
Were going to give you a local anesthetic, Madam President.
Youre going to feel a bit lightheaded.
Just get this thing out of me.
Then let that go to work.
Youre going to feel like youre asleep or in a dreamlike state,
but you wont be totally out of it.
Yes, I remember.
Are we ready, nurse?
-Yes, doctor. -The patient is sedated?
The pacemaker is prepared.
Were just shy of an hour before the threat of the next shock.
Well barely make it.
Scalpel.
[alarm sounds]
Shes flatlining.
Get the oxygen on.
[phone chimes]
Oh, shit.
170. This is it.
Lets go.
Thats odd.
Were definitely not the first ones here.
Not by a long shot.
Dr. Walsh, federal agents.
Hello? Anybody here?
Shh.
Clear.
Is this him?
Yeah. Hes been dead a while.
Holy...
Whats this guy been up to?
I thought this guy was out of the country on vacation.
Im going to call for the coroner
and update Pike and Goddard.
Think you can get in?
Give me two minutes.
Pike, its Marcus.
-Hello, sir. -Hang tight.
Im going to loop you into Mr. Goddard.
Well, I dont think thats such a good idea, sir.
Goddard.
Its Marcus, sir. Found Dr. Walsh.
Hes dead.
What?
Strangled, most likely.
Are you sure its him?
Yes, sir. I recognize him.
How is she?
All right, we have her stabilized.
We have to get that thing out of her.
You saw the text.
So my mother is just supposed to die either way?
Amelia, please. Shes not going to die.
I promise.
How can you promise that when nobody can keep her safe?
Pike: Whats going on, sir?
Chaos happening.
Okay, listen, Pike, why are you on this call?
I looped him in, sir.
Is everything okay over there?
Starlight, she just got another shock.
This one practically flatlined her.
I mean, they knew she was being wheeled in
to remove the pacemaker.
Did you find anything at Dr. Walshs?
Yeah, we did.
This guy has a complex server set up here.
Why does a cardiologist need all that equipment?
Thats how theyre doing it.
What do you mean?
We discussed someone from Navi-Pace
retaining access to President Collins pacemaker.
Its been her original surgeon this whole time.
But if Walsh is dead, that means that someone else also
might have access codes to that.
Well likely know more once Kaneko hacks the server.
Okay, Ill bring the farm in on this.
Do a deep dive on Dr. Walshs history.
Triple check everybody on this team.
We only have about eight hours left.
I need answers on that nuke.
-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.
How is Starlight, sir?
Theyre weighing their options now.
May I suggest moving her to a CT or X-ray room?
That should block out any outside electronic interference.
Ill mention it.
How you doing, man?
Almost there.
And boom, cracked the server.
Kanekos into the server.
Ill wait.
Youre on speaker. Go ahead.
Aside from several deposits from an offshore account,
Walsh was using a Tor network.
Its more encrypted than a VPN, but not enough for me.
Walsh was able to ping Starlights pacemaker
from his home.
Thats why hes been able to attack her,
even though hes dead.
No, not exactly.
The doctors setup here was just a relay.
The Tors ISP is actually located in Las Vegas.
So we would go to Vegas, wed stop the connection,
and we find out whos behind this.
Ill ping you the target locations.
Lets Oscar Mike.
You almost done? Weve got to get out of here.
Lets just take this to the Hoover Building
so I can work on it in the lab.
All right, Im going to call forensics
and see what their ETA is.
Could it be something besides the Wi-Fi?
Can they control the data going to the pacemaker?
No, these devices are built for Wi-Fi connections only.
Agent Pike made a good decision to move the president to CT.
Those rooms are lined with lead,
so theyll likely block the signals.
We should be safe there.
Should isnt good enough.
My mother needs to be as protected as possible.
Thats why were moving her, Ms. Collins.
[whispers] On me.
Move!
[shouting]
[gunfire]
Move! Move! On the ground!
Ive got two rabbiting up the stairs, Im going after them!
Go, Ill cover you!
[gunfire]
[grunting]
[grunting]
Ugh!
[cracks]
Freeze right there, fella.
Lets have a little talk with your friends downstairs.
Drop your weapon!
Drop it.
Youre in no position to negotiate.
Drop the weapon.
You drop your weapon, or Im blowing his brains out.
Thats right.
Atta-boy.
Now lets go.
Ah!
Dont you move.
Get up.
Lets go.
Why is the secret service here anyway?
We dont run counterfeit.
That it downstairs?
All signs point to yes.
What do you pigs care about our TOR network?
You tried to kill federal officers.
What we want with your network
really doesnt matter now, does it?
Its not like you identified yourselves.
Just shut up.
-Weeks. -Come on, man.
Who are you working with?
I dont know what youre talking about.
We run an online betting site.
All legal.
You are Patriot Command. In bed with the Russians.
Then why waste your breath asking me?
To test your trustworthiness.
So far youre betting zero.
So happy to disappoint you.
Im going to give you another chance.
What do you know about the nukes?
[laughs]
Like a nuclear bomb?
Why didnt you ask? Its right down in the garage.
I mean, howd you miss it?
Okay.
Look, we just get paid money to keep the network running.
We keep trespassers off the property.
They dont tell us anything.
I dont know what theyre running on the server.
And I dont know anything about any nuke.
Something else is going on here.
We need to have another look around.
-Yeah. -Sounds good.
Its not going to matter.
[chuckles]
[beeps]
What did you do?
Its a detonator.
Get him. Lets go. Move!
Get out of here, come on!
We got to move. Lets go.
Come on. Move!
Damn.
All right.
Are you ready, Madam President?
Yes.
Please, lets get this over with.
Lets get her prepped.
Shes going to be okay.
[phone vibrates]
What is it?
All right, were going to get the anesthesia flowing,
some oxygen flowing.
Youre going to be great.
[beeping]
Madam President?
Oh!
Madam President?
Shes defibbing.
Get her into magnet mode now.
STAT.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Shes stabilizing.
Breathe. Relax.
Mom? Mom, are you okay?
What? You cant be in here.
You just said that she was safe in here.
Sir.
They shouldnt have access to her pacemaker anymore.
You need to calm down.
I...
I... if I dont make it...
No, no, no, no, no.
Mom, dont even dare say anything like that, okay?
I love you.
Hey! Hey, youre going to make it through, okay?
You got this. Youre strong.
How much more of this can her heart take?
Not much more, Im afraid.
Isnt there anywhere in this entire hospital
that doesnt have Wi-Fi?
I dont think its the Wi-Fi.
[gasps]
[coughs]
[coughing]
Its for a job well done.
Until I need your services again.
[speaks Russian]
[speaks Russian] my friend.
And farewell.
You do realize that your life
means nothing to the Russians, and clearly not yourself.
So if you want any semblance of a life left,
you better cooperate.
Now, what do you know about the nuke?
Look, I already told you.
I dont know anything about any nuclear bomb.
I want to speak to my lawyer.
Now.
Lets go. Out.
Yeah, watch it.
Lets go.
Was President Collins attacked again?
Yeah. Get Reyes on the phone.
-[phone rings] -Have a nice trip.
Reyes?
Its Marcus and Mr. Goddard on speaker.
Go.
Reyes.
I thought you took care of that, Agent.
Not quite, sir.
Coleman sent off C-4 and flattened the house.
Why?
Well, we moved Starlight to the CT room.
She was still attacked.
Agent.
Sir. Pike.
If these attacks keep happening, it cant be Wi-Fi enabled.
Walsh must have preloaded Starlights pacemaker
with some additional access codes.
Where does that leave us, then, Agent?
Well, the only place there wouldnt be interference
would be aboard Angel.
You want us to move the President onto Air Force One?
Yes, sir.
Its shielded for all types of electrical signals
once its in the air.
We all know that thats the safest plane on the planet.
Well take that into consideration then.
I hesitate to even ask about the nuke.
Batting zero on that, sir.
The Patriot Command leader here says
that they were just paid to protect the server.
And you believe him?
Yes, sir, I do.
All right.
Stand by until you hear back from me, okay, Agent?
Roger that.
Every time Pike makes a recommendation,
Starlight still gets shocked.
What are you saying, sir?
Dont you find that odd?
Sir, hes a good agent.
Yeah, I know.
Lets get Air Force One ready.
Copy that, sir.
Its Marcus.
Text from Kaneko.
It says Walshs TOR network is being pinged
from a cell phone triangulated to the Mint Casino.
Lets move.
We should be there in 10 minutes.
Once we get that cell phone, you can patch it into Kaneko.
That could hold the answer to everything:
the pacemaker, the nuke, all of it.
[phone rings]
Yes, sir.
Agent Reyes.
I understand youre en route to the Mint Casino
to investigate a possible server connection.
Yes, sir, Kaneko messaged Agent Pike.
Yeah, I want Pike back on the plane to D.C.
I... Im sorry, sir, can you say that again?
I said I want Agent Pike back in D.C.
If hes not back in D.C. as instructed,
both of your careers are toast.
Do you understand?
Yes, sir, Ill see that he gets there.
Advise me once youre at the Casino.
Whats wrong?
Goddard wants you back in D.C. or were both done.
What?
What did he say?
Didnt give a reason.
Shit, Jake, this makes no sense.
I mean, youre the IT guru, not me.
We need you.
So what?
Youre gonna physically force me to get on that plane?
Come on, man.
My hands are tied.
All right, look, well go to the Casino
and Ill get back to D.C.
Yeah.
Please, keep your eyes on the road.
Yes, sir.
So how are we going to play this?
Well, its not going to play
very well with three commandos running into a casino.
Ill fly solo.
Bring Kaneko into comms?
Yep, Roger that.
-Jacket? -There you go, buddy.
You want this?
All right, Kanekos linked in.
Kaneko: Hey, Pike, Ive hacked into the hotel security system.
I have access to all their codes,
room keys, and room safes.
Im going to text you the bypass code
for the freight elevator.
Get you up there without interruption.
The cell phone is in a master bedroom safe
in the presidential suite on the 11th floor.
Kaneko, Im going in.
We got company.
[grunting]
[panting]
[shrieks]
[grunting]
[gunshot]
Kaneko, going into the safe.
Left side of the bed.
Safe code is 1970.
I got it.
Come on, guys.
Is that it?
Kaneko?
Im here.
Im wiring you access to the Mint Casino phone
over the IMSI-catcher.
Copy that.
Sent.
And received.
Im going to need a few minutes to sort through the data.
Copy that.
Well wait to hear back from you.
I guess take me back to Nellis.
Go back to D.C.
Well be taking off fairly soon, maam.
And as soon as were up in the air,
were going to start immediately preparing for your surgery.
As soon as I get the go ahead from Dr. Nabulsi,
Ill notify ATC that will be dark
for the duration of the procedure,
which Im told is roughly an hour.
Yes, Mr. Goddard, provided there are no more surprises.
Thank you, agent.
I want this plane up in the air immediately.
No delays.
Air traffic control, this is Air Force One
preparing for takeoff.
Ladies and gentlemen, we have received our clearance.
Please buckle your seatbelt. Sit back and relax.
Well have you in the air in just a moment.
Mr. President, everyone on board has been triple vetted, sir.
Thank you, Agent Goddard.
Would you mind if I spoke freely, sir?
Sure.
Sir, I really feel were taking a chance with you on board here.
You have family, correct, Agent Goddard?
Yes, sir. I have a wife and two children.
And if one of them are having surgery,
you want to be with them, right?
Yes, sir.
Well, Catherine is my family.
Shes like my sister.
So Im going to be here to support her all the way through.
I can do my job just fine from here.
Besides, were in one the safest plane in the world.
Well be fine.
[phone rings]
[phone vibrates]
Amelia?
Jake, where are you?
Im getting ready to head back to D.C.
Whats going on there? Hows your mom?
They just boarded her on Air Force One like you suggested.
Good.
Shell finally be safe now.
I wanted to...
In case something happens, I just...
I wanted to tell you that...
[phone vibrates]
Amelia, Im sorry. I got to take this.
Call me the moment she gets out of surgery, okay?
Okay, but I...
[sighs]
Pike, I got something.
Lets hear it.
I just broke through.
The datas just encrypted numbers from two cell numbers.
One coming from Aleksei Serov.
So the nuclear threat is credible?
Well, we shouldnt turn a blind eye.
The SACs already been notified,
and theyre scrambling a team together in the region.
Thats good to hear.
You said there was a second number.
You think it could be connected to the pacemaker?
Likely yes, but thats one Im having a hard time with.
And due to time constraints,
I think we should just try calling it.
Whoevers cell it is, it wont answer a random call.
Can you misdirect it,
make it seem like its from the encrypted network?
Piece of cake.
Thats why they...
Pay you the crap wages.
Ill conference you in.
I dont know whats on the other line,
so we got to keep this short so they dont ping it.
Copy that.
Ready?
Put it through.
[phone ringing]
[phone vibrates]
I need to use the restroom. Ill be right back.
Uh, thats fine.
Looks like theyre not answering.
Wait, wait. Just give it a few more seconds.
Who is this?
[phone chimes]
Theres a false alert. Im checking on it.
Agent Cronin, go check Cabin A.
Who was that?
I dont know.
That voice sounded familiar.
All right, look, its time for you to make the big bucks.
I need a name.
I know, I saw.
But who?
Thats not whats important right now.
With Vegas compromised and likely Serov,
its time to move to Plan B.
Hold that thought, give me a second.
Are you good?
Yes.
Are you with me?
Okay, thats my girl.
Huh, the call was routed through an encrypted phone on Angel,
and it was a womans voice.
All right, how many women on board?
Hold on.
All right, I got the passenger list right here.
Their code names, obviously.
Everybody on board has to be on that list.
Its protocol.
Read out the names of the women.
Okay, we got Starlight, Amelia, and Captain,
but shes the pilot.
I think we can rule her out.
Dr. Nabulsi and Nurse Bell.
But thats it, man.
Are you sure?
100%.
Starlight has been attacked when Nabulsi was present,
so it has to be that nurse, Sophia.
Shes been in close proximity to Starlight
from the get-go.
Its possible she has a radio transmitter
circumventing our security measures this whole time.
Oh, man.
Kaneko, we cant trust anyone.
Ive got to get on that plane.
Well, how are you going to do that?
I dont know. Ill figure it out.
Ill call you back.
Its the nurse?
Affirmative.
I need to get on that plane.
You have a plan?
Just might.
[phone rings]
Kaneko. Yeah, whats the status of the strike team in Russia?
They took out Serov with a drone, sir.
Preliminary intel shows that they had an early
Russian SRF missile vehicle with the low-yield topple.
Could have easily hit the Kremlin from Sumy.
A strike team is en route to secure the site.
Good thing we took him out.
Anything else?
Well, has Agent Pike not contacted you, sir?
Pike? No.
When did you last speak with him?
I just got off the phone with him, sir.
Hes heading to Nellis to try to get on Angel.
We just found out that--
Sir?
[phone rings]
Its Goddard.
Reyes?
Put Pike on the phone now.
Youre on speaker, sir.
Goddard, sir.
You are not getting on this plane.
Sir, Angel has been compromised.
Im coming on board for backup.
The hell you are. You listen.
Youre going to make a ship-to-ship mid-air transfer
and tell everybody on board that were on to them.
I will handle things in the air.
You stand down, Agent.
Pull over.
Yeah, this is Special Agent in charge of Protective Operations
Jim Goddard.
Credential number Romeo-119027.
Ive got a rogue agent. His name is Jacob Pike.
Hes headed your way.
I want him stopped, and I want him detained.
Is that understood?
That is all.
-Good afternoon. -Hows it going?
IDs, please.
How many of you?
Just two of us.
I need you to pop that trunk.
Go for it.
[detector beeping]
All clear.
-Thank you. -Thank you, gentlemen.
-Good day. -Have a good one.
Two, three.
Got it.
How much you weigh?
Its all muscle mass.
Well switch next time.
That was a good call,
anticipating Goddard would put an alert on you.
Yeah.
Lets get this in the air.
Boys, everything good?
Attention, everyone.
Well be shutting down all communications at this time.
Well have it back up and running
the second the Presidents surgery is complete.
ETA, one hour.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Marcus, were compromised.
I know.
Sorry about this, Jim.
Its nothing personal.
Okay, were ready to begin. We need everyone to step out.
Or we could just end it now.
Cat...
If theres another hiccup, do not resuscitate.
I dont remember you signing a DNR.
Mom...
Dont you want to meet your granddaughter?
Or grandson?
Is it true?
My sweet child.
So Im really going to need you.
Ill be here for my grandchild.
-Yes, you will. -And for you.
Lets get this surgery underway.
Shes going to be okay now.
Yeah.
Im just going to go take a moment.
[knocking]
Come in.
Agent Marcus.
Have they started the surgery yet?
All ready, maam?
As ready as Ill ever be.
Were going to start with anesthesia.
Ah!
[muffled shouting]
Hey, back the fuck up.
[muffled shout]
What was all that racket?
Dr. Nabulsis taken care of.
It was you? Both of you.
Keep your voice down.
[sighs] Just text him.
Just text him.
[gasps]
Answer me!
Remember...
Ivan Belsky?
He was one of those you had targeted
by a Ground Branch hit team?
He was my father.
When I saw the opportunity to help Dr. Walsh
to make America suffer like it made me suffer, I took it.
We dont sanction assassins.
Liar!
Therell be plenty of time for that later.
Got it.
All right, ETA, two minutes.
Aminoff needs to be reinstated into power.
Its that simple.
Without Russia to keep America in check,
we are on the precipice of World War III.
We thought interrupting your pacemaker
would make you see reason,
but clearly thats not happening.
So good news, were going to keep you alive for now,
but... bad news.
Im going to tell the pilots to stop circling DC
and were going to go somewhere remote
and then were going to launch the nuke.
Unless you denounce Kasparov.
Do you hear me?
I hear you.
[coughs]
Keep that on her.
Mm.
[sighs]
Sorry, about that. Thats the best we can do.
Itll work.
It has to.
All right, so Air Force Ones at 20,000 feet.
Im going to signal the plane
and try to get her down to 10,000 for you.
Thank you.
Now these magnetic clips will help you
hold onto the other plane.
Now, theres still a possibility
that you could freeze to death or run out of oxygen.
We dont have a choice.
All right, Ill pull up to her.
Hopefully these guys know Morse code.
Whats going on?
What do they want?
Lower. Lower.
Lower.
Any change of heart, Madam President?
I will never back a war criminal.
Do you even know how to use that?
Oh, we have an idea.
Wheres President Roberts?
Dead.
And the gold code for the day is Tango Alpha.
And the destination?
Washington D.C.
Now, all we need is a retinal scan.
And we can do that, whether youre dead or alive.
Back up. Back up. There.
Open your eyes and look at the monitor.
Open your eyes!
Open her eyes for her.
Capture.
Launch code verified.
Launch sequence activated.
Five, four, three, two, one.
Launch.
Pike, we need to get you on that plane now.
I dont think Goddard waited. Theyre signaling SOS back.
Okay.
Listen, theyre going to lower the plane.
I told them to get it to at least 10,000 feet.
Theyre at 15 now.
All right.
Dont forget to take a deep breath before you jump.
Hold it as long you can.
You got this, Pike.
[gasps]
Jake?
[shouts]
What?
Open the door!
Clear the door!
Clear the door!
Open the door, Amelia!
Opening!
What was that?
I think were changing altitude.
[groans]
[gasps]
-Amelia! -Jake!
-Amelia! -Grab my hand!
Oh, you bastard.
My hand!
Pull me in!
Come on! Come on!
Whats wrong with you? Youre insane!
Unhook me! Unhook me!
Yeah!
He made it!
Get back! Get back!
[grunting]
Marcus, why?
You recruited me!
Havent you seen the signs, Pike?
Americas finished!
Youre finished!
[screams]
Good job.
Come on.
-Its Sophia. -I know.
Shes with my mom.
I gotta get this off.
I need you to stay here, okay?
Keep still, Madam President.
You know youre not in charge now.
[gunshot]
-Easy. -Do not move!
Stay there.
Madam President, are you okay?
They launched a nuclear missile at D.C., 30 minutes out.
How do we stop it?
You cant.
There has to be a way.
Welcome to World War III.
And remember, you did this.
Theres no override codes?
I told you, you...
[groans]
Madam President!
Drop it! Drop it!
Put it down!
Dr. Walsh!
A radio transmitter.
Simple, yes?
Wi-Fi for the first attack,
so we wouldnt have to be too close.
But we knew you would figure that out so...
[gunshot]
Jake.
Thank you very much, Sophia.
Thats all we actually needed from you.
By the way, we are avoiding World War III.
Avoiding a war by launching a nuclear warhead?
There will be some blood spilled, yes, but no World War.
No one benefits from a war of that magnitude, Agent Pike.
Help me understand this.
I will oblige, Madam President.
This will make Kasparov seem like an incompetent president.
Accidental nuclear launch due to system error.
Kasparov will take the blame.
And with the destruction of D.C., poof,
America will be crippled for a while.
Aminoff will be reinstated.
And I, yours truly,
have been promised a very, very high position for my efforts.
And by the time America recovers, if it does,
Mother Russia will once again be the global dominant power.
With me.
Amelia, why dont you join us?
Amelia, they launched a nuke at D.C.
-No- -Shh....
Do me a favor, just kindly move over to the wall, right?
Dont, dont do that.
Dont try anything stupid, okay?
Agent Pike, if the both of you are here,
does that mean that Marcus is no longer with us?
We threw him off the plane.
[laughing]
You did?
Well, that just actually brought you your life back, agent.
Because I may need your IT experience
should something go wrong.
Jake!
Its okay, its alright.
Hey, I didnt hit anything vital.
I just need him incapacitated for a little while.
[groans]
Shh, you hear that?
Are there any escort fighters out there?
No.
And what about the Doomsday plane
that follows Air Force One?
You all think Im stupid, right?
Thank God I took care of that.
Amelia, I think I need you to come with me
to make sure nobody else does any funny business.
And actually you can help me fly the plane while youre at it.
Ive never flown this model aircraft before.
How about if I put a few holes in your mother?
Okay, Ill go with you.
Good girl.
Close that football.
Close it!
Thank you.
Pick it up. Lets go.
Go.
Move. Move!
Agent Pike.
Hang on.
[groans]
What are you gonna do?
[grunts]
I dont have an access card.
Madam President, Im gonna need you to get off that table.
So this is where the magic happens.
Put the football on the desk.
Put it on the desk!
Open it.
Down on your knees. On your knees!
Hands behind your head.
Madam President, cover your ears.
What was that?
It sounded like an explosion.
Go check it out.
What was that? What was that?
No!
Stop! Stop!
Shut up! What did I tell you?
Bitch!
All right, come on.
Walsh is probably in the control room.
Wait here.
Im going after him.
-Do not do anything stupid! -Walsh!
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!
You are much too slow, Agent Pike.
Isnt that the mother of your future 100 babies,
if there is a future?
Put the freaking gun down!
Put it down!
All right. Im putting it down.
Just please, dont hurt her.
I so wanted to put a bullet
right here through her damn skull.
That was really stupid what you just did.
And now Im just gonna finish you.
For Mother Russia.
Mr. Goddard.
Damn it.
Oh, my God.
Amelia, I need you to do your best to fly this plane
while the President and I try to stop the nuke.
Okay?
We need to open up comms again.
You need to get in touch with Vandenberg,
and you need to tell them to initiate emergency protocols
if they havent already.
All right? You can do this.
Copy.
You cant stop it, Agent.
All right, Amelia.
Autopilot disengaged.
Youre trained for this.
I could try and tie in the missiles trajectory
into the MDA, see if they can shoot it down over the ocean.
-Not this one. -Why not?
This is a Perses Hypersonic MK-11.
It moves too fast and too low
for anything or anyone to shoot it down.
Man: Angel! Vandenberg, you copy?
Go ahead, Vandenberg.
Weve been trying to contact you.
Comms were dark for over an hour, Angel.
I know, were having some problems up here.
The Missile Defense Agency has detected
a nuclear threat fast approaching the Eastern Shore.
Confirming ETA in five minutes.
Copy, were aware.
Were working on it from our end, Ill keep you apprised.
Angel out.
Ive got to try something, Madam President.
Where are you going?
Where is it? Where is this thing?
Come on.
I had it here.
Yes.
Agent Pike.
The Meraglim.
I should have thought of this before.
Whats that going to do?
Imagine two people trying to communicate
that speak different languages.
Eventually, they just give up.
What exactly are you doing?
Im writing code.
Code that it wont understand into the system.
Autopilot engaged.
I put on autopilot away from D.C.,
but I dont know how far itll get us.
Whats going on? How much time do we have?
I can do this.
[alarm sounds]
What is that? What does that alarm mean?
We lost the network signal.
It went down over the Atlantic Ocean.
Does that mean we stopped it?
You did it.
[laughing]
You did it, Agent Pike.
[laughing]
Hows she doing?
Shes resting.
Amelia, I almost lost you today.
Im not going to lose you again.
I want us to be together.
And if that means losing my job, then so be it.
Jake... shh.
Sorry.
If you want to, of course.
But I cant deny what we had
isnt special or great, Amelia.
How stupid you two must think I am.
Im the President of the United States.
Its my job to know things.
Do you really think you could hide
how you two feel for each other from me?
Are you okay with it?
It depends.
Does he know?
Do I... Do I know about what?
Jake...
Im pregnant.
Youre kidding.
Thats great news.
Yeah?
Youre going to be a mom.
Im going to be a dad.
Okay, I dont have a problem.
But I have a request.
No, its an order.
You get married ASAP before the press finds out about it.
Such a romantic proposal, Mom.
Hey, what do you say?
Yeah.
-Okay. -Okay.
-Lets land this plane. -Yeah.
Almost done.
Gear down.
At least The weathers on our side.
[alarm sounds]
Come on.
The landing gear is shot.
Tower, Air Force One, we have a problem.
Landing gear wont come down.
Thats probably Marcuss doing.
Roger, Air Force One, were rolling the trucks.
You are clear to land, any runway.
Madam President, Im going to need your seat.
Copy, Tower, were coming in hot.
Im going to have to throttle down to pull up.
Okay.
On my mark, we both pull the yokes together.
We land this together.
If anything happens...
We cant let it.
Right.
-I love you. -I love you.
Now!
[grunting]
Ah!
I cant, its too tight.
[alarm sounds]
Come on.
We got it!
-We got it! -We got it!
[shouting]
[grunts]
[panting]
Are you okay?
Yeah. Are you okay, Mom?
Im okay. Im okay.
We did it!
[siren blaring]
Angel landed.
Weve got the emergency call in. They should be here any minute.
Come on.
My grandchilds father just saved all our asses.
Well done, Jake.
I couldnt have done it without you two.
Are you sure you dont want to come with us?
Ill catch up with you soon.
Ive got to deal with the mess
with the loss of Mr. Goddard and Marcus.
Okay.
Ill see you soon.
[laughing]
Yes, no, its not that. Its...
[laughing]
Hello, lovely ladies, how did the surgery go?
Oh, already that comfortable, huh?
Im sorry, Madam President.
[laughing]
Youre among family now.
But out there?
Understood, Madam President.
Since you asked, the surgery went very well.
My doctor tells me that my new pacer cannot be hacked.
No Wi-Fi, transmitter, Bluetooth, airy-fairy,
old-school, hands-on access only.
Thats great news.
Did you find out any more information about Dr. Walsh?
I did.
Hes actually Sergey "Vanya" Lebedev,
a former Spetsnaz GRU surgeon,
living in the U.S. for the last 15 years as Dr. Walsh.
He was promised the prime minister of Russia
if Aminoff became president again.
Wow.
With the terrorists and Patriot Command gone,
America is a much safer place than it was 24 hours ago,
thanks to the two of you.
Well, Ive been meaning to ask,
are you sure youre ready for this?
I mean, having children is a big responsibility.
I think after yesterday, were ready for anything.
Thats true.
I agree.
