1. Check. Head count.
Head count. Two. Three.
Copy !req
2. Four. Five. Six.
Copy !req
3. Demo set.
Copy !req
4. Let's move.
Copy !req
5. Clear.
Copy !req
6. Low Boy, this is Black Cat.
Copy !req
7. ETA Romeo, L-Z-one-niner.
Copy !req
8. We are hot. Copy.
Copy !req
9. Come on. Get out there! Go, go!
Copy !req
10. Come on.
Copy !req
11. Get in.
Copy !req
12. Cover! I'm on the roof!
Copy !req
13. Go!
Copy !req
14. This is Low Boy.
Package is wrapped.
Copy !req
15. Ladies and gentlemen...
Copy !req
16. three weeks ago, Russian
and American special forces...
Copy !req
17. apprehended the self-proclaimed
leader of Kazakhstan...
Copy !req
18. General Ivan Radek.
Copy !req
19. The forces of Radek were directed
toward the suppression of democracy.
Copy !req
20. His nuclear arsenal
could have brought the world...
Copy !req
21. into a new Cold War.
Copy !req
22. But thanks to the support of one
of the world's greatest leaders...
Copy !req
23. Radek is now in prison.
Copy !req
24. Today we are honoring
this brave man.
Copy !req
25. Ladies and gentlemen,
my friend...
Copy !req
26. the president
of the United States of America.
Copy !req
27. The dead remember
our indifference.
Copy !req
28. The dead remember our silence.
Copy !req
29. I came here tonight
to be congratulated.
Copy !req
30. But today when I visited
the Red Cross camps...
Copy !req
31. overwhelmed by the flood
of refugees...
Copy !req
32. fleeing from the horror
of Kazakhstan...
Copy !req
33. I realized I don't deserve
to be congratulated, none of us do.
Copy !req
34. - What's he doing?
- That's not the speech.
Copy !req
35. The truth is...
Copy !req
36. we acted too late.
Copy !req
37. Only when our own national security
was threatened did we act.
Copy !req
38. Radek's regime murdered over
200,000 men, women and children...
Copy !req
39. and we watched it on TV.
Copy !req
40. We let it happen.
Copy !req
41. People were being slaughtered
for over a year.
Copy !req
42. We issued economic sanctions...
Copy !req
43. and hid behind the rhetoric
of diplomacy.
Copy !req
44. How dare we?
Copy !req
45. The dead remember.
Copy !req
46. Real peace...
Copy !req
47. is not just the absence of conflict,
it's the presence of justice.
Copy !req
48. Tonight I come to you with a pledge
to change America's policy.
Copy !req
49. Never again
will I allow our political self-interest...
Copy !req
50. to deter us from doing
what we know to be morally right.
Copy !req
51. Atrocity and terror
are not political weapons.
Copy !req
52. And to those who would use them...
Copy !req
53. your day is over.
Copy !req
54. We will never negotiate.
Copy !req
55. We will no longer tolerate
and we will no longer be afraid.
Copy !req
56. It's your turn to be afraid.
Copy !req
57. The Russian was a nice touch.
Copy !req
58. Tell my mother.
She wanted me to study French.
Copy !req
59. Do you know what you committed
us to, sir?
Copy !req
60. Yeah, I know exactly
what I committed us to.
Copy !req
61. Gentlemen,
welcome to Air Force One.
Copy !req
62. Please present your equipment
for inspection.
Copy !req
63. We were just inspected at the gate.
Copy !req
64. Sir, this plane carries the president
of the United States.
Copy !req
65. I understand. I'm terribly sorry.
Copy !req
66. Please place your thumb
on the ID pad.
Copy !req
67. Access cleared.
Copy !req
68. Hello there. I'm Melanie Mitchell,
deputy press secretary.
Copy !req
69. I'll be taking you from here.
Copy !req
70. Miss Mitchell.
It is nice to meet you in person.
Copy !req
71. The president and I were delighted we
could accommodate your crew.
Copy !req
72. So if you boys are all cleared?
Copy !req
73. Now, you know the president's
on a very tight schedule.
Copy !req
74. This is how it works. During the
flight, two members of your crew...
Copy !req
75. will be allowed
outside the press area.
Copy !req
76. You'll get exactly 10 minutes
with the president, 20 with the crew.
Copy !req
77. Listen, Gary, the president is ready
to take Congress on.
Copy !req
78. He's not gonna kiss their ass
for each vote.
Copy !req
79. Let them vote us down
and stand on their record.
Copy !req
80. I'm with him now.
I'll call you from the plane.
Copy !req
81. - What did they say about the speech?
- Your speech is leading the news.
Copy !req
82. They're already calling it
the Be Afraid speech.
Copy !req
83. - Good.
- With all due respect...
Copy !req
84. next time you want
to make a policy departure...
Copy !req
85. you might want to discuss it with
your national security advisor first.
Copy !req
86. We did discuss it, Jack.
Copy !req
87. We discussed it in private, which is
where I thought it would remain.
Copy !req
88. Well, now it's public.
Now it's policy.
Copy !req
89. Get behind it.
Copy !req
90. The allies are gonna be upset
they weren't consulted about this.
Copy !req
91. It might come back and bite us
in the ass in November.
Copy !req
92. It's the right thing to do.
Copy !req
93. And you know it.
Copy !req
94. There goes the neighborhood.
Copy !req
95. If you'd like, I think we have time
for a quick tour.
Copy !req
96. - We'd be delighted.
- Good.
Copy !req
97. Andrei, Boris.
Copy !req
98. Follow me.
Copy !req
99. Ahead of this staff cabin
is Secret Service. Right here.
Copy !req
100. Never try to go past them without
an escort or you'll be very sorry.
Copy !req
101. - Hello.
- Hi.
Copy !req
102. Thanks for the warning.
Copy !req
103. And here we have
our in-flight offices.
Copy !req
104. Mr. President.
Copy !req
105. Over here.
Copy !req
106. Over here, Mr. President.
Copy !req
107. A lot of the plane's features
are classified.
Copy !req
108. But I can tell you
that it's bullet-resistant...
Copy !req
109. and it's even protected
against the pulse of a nuclear blast.
Copy !req
110. I'm not sure that's very comforting.
Copy !req
111. Upstairs is the cockpit along...
Copy !req
112. with the most advanced
communications center...
Copy !req
113. on or above the face of the Earth.
Copy !req
114. We could run the whole country
from here.
Copy !req
115. Or even a war if we had to.
Copy !req
116. The president called
the shuttle astronauts from there.
Copy !req
117. - Melanie.
- Yes.
Copy !req
118. The president's arriving. They should
all take their seats. Right away.
Copy !req
119. I'll get out of here
and let you all get some sleep.
Copy !req
120. - Mr. President, welcome aboard, sir.
- Hey, Danny. How are you?
Copy !req
121. - Mr. President.
- Mr. President.
Copy !req
122. Change in plan, Danny.
Let's go to Barbados.
Copy !req
123. Anything you want.
You're the president.
Copy !req
124. Boy, I wish.
Copy !req
125. - Mr. President.
- Mr. Gibbs, where's my bunch?
Copy !req
126. Ballet ran late.
They'll be here in five minutes.
Copy !req
127. - Okay. Lewis, you tape the game?
- It was a real squeaker, sir.
Copy !req
128. Lewis, don't brief me on it.
I wanted to watch it, for chrissake.
Copy !req
129. We'll be underway
in about 30 minutes, sir.
Copy !req
130. - Mr. President.
- Sir?
Copy !req
131. Yeah, could you put the game
on now? Yeah, Jack?
Copy !req
132. The Iraqis have mobilized
two armored—
Copy !req
133. Just got it. Give me 15 minutes.
Get the guys together.
Copy !req
134. Repel them.
Make them relinquish the ball.
Copy !req
135. - Did you hear about Notre Dame?
- Don't. Don't tell me the score.
Copy !req
136. - Great game.
- Mr. President.
Copy !req
137. We need to strategize,
smooth some things out politically.
Copy !req
138. - What was that?
- It's not so important.
Copy !req
139. - Damage control. What—?
- Give me a minute alone.
Copy !req
140. What if a high-ranking
White House official—?
Copy !req
141. Give me a few moments alone.
Copy !req
142. A high-ranking official were
to qualify what you said last night?
Copy !req
143. Drop it. Drop it. Do yourself a favor.
Copy !req
144. It's policy. Drop it.
Copy !req
145. - Or find another ride home. Yeah?
- The Russian news crew's with us.
Copy !req
146. I told them you'd give them
a sound bite about life.
Copy !req
147. - There is no life in the White House.
- You said it.
Copy !req
148. The president needs
some time alone.
Copy !req
149. 14-13 Michigan.
Copy !req
150. All right, Mr. President.
Copy !req
151. That wasn't you napping during the
performance, was it?
Copy !req
152. No, ma'am. It was very enjoyable.
Copy !req
153. Alice, you can finish it on the plane.
Let's not keep your father waiting.
Copy !req
154. Try and smile, sweetheart. Okay?
Copy !req
155. - Alice, one picture, please!
- Thank you very much.
Copy !req
156. Great, something from Tom.
Copy !req
157. Daddy's asleep.
Copy !req
158. How was the ballet?
Copy !req
159. It was great.
Copy !req
160. You trying to kill me?
Was it really good? Did you enjoy it?
Copy !req
161. Did you love it? Men in tights?
Did you hear my speech?
Copy !req
162. - Yeah.
- Yeah?
Copy !req
163. - You're gonna get yourself reelected.
- That's what I keep telling them.
Copy !req
164. This is the aircraft commander.
Copy !req
165. We'll be taking to the runway
in a moment.
Copy !req
166. - Are you guys comfortable?
- Yes, very.
Copy !req
167. - I brought you VIP press kits.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
168. You're welcome.
Copy !req
169. Pass interference. That's cheating.
Copy !req
170. - Only if they get caught.
- Dad.
Copy !req
171. The way of the world, kiddo.
Copy !req
172. Why didn't you take me with you when
you went to the refugee camp today?
Copy !req
173. Well, for one thing,
it's not 100 percent secure.
Copy !req
174. You've got your whole life to live,
baby.
Copy !req
175. You don't need to see
that kind of stuff.
Copy !req
176. Come on, Dad.
It's not like I don't see it on the news.
Copy !req
177. It's different on the news.
Copy !req
178. All I'm saying is I'm ready
for things you don't think I'm ready for.
Copy !req
179. Maybe I'm not ready.
Copy !req
180. I'm 12 years old, Dad.
In the caveman days...
Copy !req
181. I'd be having children of my own.
Copy !req
182. That's what we call progress. You're
missing the best part of the game.
Copy !req
183. God.
Copy !req
184. Well, we're so looking forward
to seeing you.
Copy !req
185. - She is so anxious to grow up.
- Oh, I know. She's—
Copy !req
186. Yes, the both of us.
Copy !req
187. Okay. Bye-bye.
Copy !req
188. Well, she couldn't stay
your little girl forever, Jim.
Copy !req
189. Well, I was hoping it would last
till she was 14 or 15.
Copy !req
190. Or 50.
Copy !req
191. They hated your speech,
didn't they?
Copy !req
192. They're afraid we won't have the guts
to back it up.
Copy !req
193. And, then, if we do,
it'll be political suicide.
Copy !req
194. Remember our first campaign?
Copy !req
195. - In the House?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
196. - Downstate, driving around—
- Who was that kid, our volunteer?
Copy !req
197. - Remember—
- Henry.
Copy !req
198. - Henry with the convertible.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
199. - With the broken top and—
- The snow coming in.
Copy !req
200. And we were the only three people
who thought you could win that.
Copy !req
201. You didn't give a damn.
Copy !req
202. You knew what needed to be done
and you did it.
Copy !req
203. And you spoke from your heart.
And that's what I heard tonight.
Copy !req
204. Well, it felt good.
Copy !req
205. Yeah, I'll bet it did.
Copy !req
206. Sir?
Copy !req
207. Sorry to interrupt.
Everybody's assembled, sir.
Copy !req
208. United States Air Force One.
Copy !req
209. It is an honor to clear you
for immediate takeoff on runway 2-5.
Copy !req
210. Air Force One cleared for takeoff.
Copy !req
211. Thank you for your hospitality,
Moscow.
Copy !req
212. In Moscow tonight, President Marshall
defended the military action...
Copy !req
213. against the Radek regime...
Copy !req
214. an act the administration had been
calling a one-time intervention.
Copy !req
215. But in a rare display of emotion...
Copy !req
216. the president alluded to a change
in US foreign policy...
Copy !req
217. when he stated that America...
Copy !req
218. will no longer tolerate
any terrorist government.
Copy !req
219. Meanwhile in Kazakhstan...
Copy !req
220. Radek's ouster has stalled
the neo-communist revolution.
Copy !req
221. These are Saddam Hussein's
Republican Guard brigades...
Copy !req
222. that have been moved north.
Copy !req
223. He knows we're watching,
knows we'll retaliate.
Copy !req
224. Why is he sending tanks
to the border?
Copy !req
225. Could be a response to your speech,
Mr. President.
Copy !req
226. - Maybe he's got a son-in-law up there.
- Very funny.
Copy !req
227. I think there's one or two
he hasn't shot yet.
Copy !req
228. What does State have to say?
Copy !req
229. The Iraqi ambassador
is claiming it's just an exercise.
Copy !req
230. Let's not waste any more time.
Send the Nimitz back in.
Copy !req
231. - Gibbs.
- Guys.
Copy !req
232. - Sleeping on the job?
- No, sir.
Copy !req
233. Hey, guys...
Copy !req
234. these are the advance team reports
from the Miami field agent.
Copy !req
235. - Take a look at them.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
236. Smoke. There's smoke!
Copy !req
237. Steward.
Steward, there's smoke in the cabin.
Copy !req
238. Everybody move to the back
of the plane. Now. Please.
Copy !req
239. Smoke! Smoke! Notify the cockpit!
Copy !req
240. Mr. President, stay back.
Copy !req
241. Down! Everybody down!
Copy !req
242. Code red. We have a code red.
I repeat. Shots fired on board.
Copy !req
243. Code red acknowledged.
Lock that door now.
Copy !req
244. Flight control, this is Air Force One
declaring emergency.
Copy !req
245. Cover us!
Copy !req
246. Stay back.
Copy !req
247. Move up! I'll cover you.
Copy !req
248. Go! Go, go!
Copy !req
249. - What's going on?
- Shots fired, sir.
Copy !req
250. - What about my family?
- We're handling it, sir.
Copy !req
251. Boy Scout coming out! Cover!
Copy !req
252. - Cover! Give us cover!
- Daddy?
Copy !req
253. - Alice, get back!
- Daddy!
Copy !req
254. - Alice. Alice, get down!
- Daddy!
Copy !req
255. - Around here. Take him around here.
- Get down.
Copy !req
256. Ramstein tower,

Copy !req
263. The football! The football!
Copy !req
264. Get him around here.
Copy !req
265. Get him down to the pod!
Copy !req
266. Don't move!
Copy !req
267. Get the President.
Copy !req
268. - They're on us.
- Where's my family?
Copy !req
269. - Get in the pod, sir. Get in!
- What about my family?
Copy !req
270. Air Force One, landing runway 0-9.
I repeat, runway 0-9.
Copy !req
271. Roger. Turning to heading 1-8-5.
Descending to 5,000 feet.
Copy !req
272. Hurry, he's in the escape pod.
Copy !req
273. Ramstein, this is Air Force One.
Copy !req
274. Emergency pod has been deployed.
I repeat.
Copy !req
275. The emergency pod
has been deployed.
Copy !req
276. Ramstein tower, acknowledge.
Copy !req
277. We are picking up the homing beacon
and deploying search and rescue.
Copy !req
278. - Is the locking ready to look at?
- Just about, sir.
Copy !req
279. - Has General Northwood arrived?
- Yes, he has.
Copy !req
280. - Give me an update.
- Madam Vice President, this way.
Copy !req
281. - We'll avoid the press.
- Is the president secure?
Copy !req
282. Not yet. The recovery team
will have him very soon.
Copy !req
283. Air Force One,
this is Halo Flight Lead.
Copy !req
284. You are under escort.
Copy !req
285. All airspace has been cleared.
Alert force has been mobilized.
Copy !req
286. - Is everyone here?
- We're working on it.
Copy !req
287. How the hell did this happen?
How did they get Air Force One?
Copy !req
288. Gentlemen. Mr. Secretary.
Copy !req
289. Ramstein tower, we are at ten mile.
Copy !req
290. Final coming in red hot.
Copy !req
291. Roger, Air Force One.
Wind is 0-niner-0 at 1-2.
Copy !req
292. You are clear to land.
Copy !req
293. They're landing.
Copy !req
294. Get down! Now!
Copy !req
295. Open the door!
Copy !req
296. Open! Open the door!
Copy !req
297. No matter what happens, we land
this aircraft. Is that understood?
Copy !req
298. Come on. Flaps 30.
Copy !req
299. Flaps 30.
Copy !req
300. They're landing.
Copy !req
301. - No!
- Get the fuck in the air!
Copy !req
302. Now! Take this plane up!
Copy !req
303. Up! Up!
Copy !req
304. - Get us back in the air now!
- Artie!
Copy !req
305. - Take it up!
- Artie!
Copy !req
306. Get this plane back in the air now
or you die.
Copy !req
307. Get up now!
Copy !req
308. No! Jesus!
Copy !req
309. Air Force One,
this is Ramstein tower...
Copy !req
310. - Contact those F-15s.
- Sir.
Copy !req
311. I want them to keep Air Force One
in visual contact at all times.
Copy !req
312. - What are our airborne scenarios?
- There are no airborne scenarios.
Copy !req
313. Then we'd better
start generating them.
Copy !req
314. They better be good and work.
Copy !req
315. How long can they stay up
with the fuel?
Copy !req
316. - That's a question of airspeed, wind.
- Altitude.
Copy !req
317. We need an Air Force One pilot.
Copy !req
318. Any educated guesses
where they might go?
Copy !req
319. - Iraq, Libya, Algeria.
- Those are guesses.
Copy !req
320. - Don't know if they're educated.
- Notify our allies.
Copy !req
321. We'll need airspace.
Keep that under wraps.
Copy !req
322. - We'll do our best.
- If you could try and relax, Kathryn.
Copy !req
323. I'm in charge here.
Copy !req
324. Well, I don't know, Walter.
It seems to me that they're in charge.
Copy !req
325. We're heading home.
Copy !req
326. Let's get him.
Copy !req
327. - Don't hurt me.
- Go.
Copy !req
328. Go.
Copy !req
329. The President.
Copy !req
330. The President is no longer on board.
Copy !req
331. He made it to the pod and escaped.
Copy !req
332. Moscow police found six members
of a Russian TV news crew murdered.
Copy !req
333. The same crew that was cleared
to fly on Air Force One.
Copy !req
334. - Jesus.
- Oh, please tell me it's not that easy.
Copy !req
335. No. You would have
to generate fake ID, photos.
Copy !req
336. - Fingerprints.
- Could be with help from Moscow.
Copy !req
337. How would they get weapons
on board?
Copy !req
338. There's no way to get weapons
on board Air Force One.
Copy !req
339. There are enough weapons on board,
but who has access to them?
Copy !req
340. You think someone on the plane
helped them?
Copy !req
341. What if somebody did
and they're still on the plane?
Copy !req
342. Who do they trust up there?
Who do we trust?
Copy !req
343. Madam Vice President,
Mr. Secretary.
Copy !req
344. All compromised nuclear launch codes
have been cancelled.
Copy !req
345. New codes are active.
Copy !req
346. Ramstein, the president's escape pod
has been located.
Copy !req
347. We're honing in at 2-8-5 degrees.
Copy !req
348. There it is.
Copy !req
349. Ramstein, we have a strong signal.
Copy !req
350. ETA, two minutes.
Copy !req
351. Where is the wife and daughter?
Copy !req
352. Where is my husband?
Copy !req
353. He has fled.
The coward chose to save himself.
Copy !req
354. But one can always strike a bargain.
Copy !req
355. You listen to me.
Copy !req
356. I don't know who you are
or what you want...
Copy !req
357. but you will never get it.
Copy !req
358. He will not negotiate.
Copy !req
359. Really?
Copy !req
360. His wife. His daughter.
Copy !req
361. A man could not live with himself.
Copy !req
362. And it would be such bad politics.
Copy !req
363. I think he'll negotiate.
Copy !req
364. The escape pod
is visually acquired.
Copy !req
365. Location of Ramstein
is 2-8-4 degrees.
Copy !req
366. Twelve miles out.
Copy !req
367. All the weapons
have been collected.
Copy !req
368. Nevsky, check the plane again.
Copy !req
369. You have the first watch.
Copy !req
370. I'll check downstairs.
Copy !req
371. Ready.
Copy !req
372. It's Air Force One.
They want to talk to the vice president.
Copy !req
373. Hello. Can you hear me?
Copy !req
374. This is the vice president
of the United States.
Copy !req
375. To whom am I speaking?
Copy !req
376. This is the person
who controls Air Force One.
Copy !req
377. The world's most secure aircraft.
Copy !req
378. What is it that you want?
Copy !req
379. We'll get to that.
Copy !req
380. - I would like to speak to the first lady.
- No.
Copy !req
381. - No. Why?
- I need to know that they're safe.
Copy !req
382. The president is safe.
Copy !req
383. But then you must know that.
Copy !req
384. He ran from here
like a whipped dog.
Copy !req
385. I'm sure you can't wait for him
to get back to making the decisions...
Copy !req
386. so you can stop sweating
through that silk blouse of yours.
Copy !req
387. What is the condition
of the people on board?
Copy !req
388. Some are dead.
Copy !req
389. Jesus.
Copy !req
390. What are your intentions?
Copy !req
391. What arrogance to think you could
ever understand my intentions.
Copy !req
392. I want to understand what it is
that you want.
Copy !req
393. What do I want?
Copy !req
394. When Mother Russia
becomes one great nation again...
Copy !req
395. when the capitalists are dragged
from the Kremlin...
Copy !req
396. and shot in the street...
Copy !req
397. when our enemies run and hide
in fear at the mention of our name...
Copy !req
398. and America begs
our forgiveness...
Copy !req
399. on that great day of deliverance...
Copy !req
400. you will know what I want.
Copy !req
401. We can give you a forum
for your grievances.
Copy !req
402. We can contact the
Russian government.
Copy !req
403. But you must understand
that it will take some time.
Copy !req
404. Oh, really?
Well, when you talk to the president...
Copy !req
405. you might remind him that I am
holding his wife, his daughter...
Copy !req
406. his chief of staff,
his national security advisor...
Copy !req
407. his classified papers
and his baseball glove.
Copy !req
408. If he wants them back, he will prevail
upon the puppet regime in Moscow...
Copy !req
409. to release General Radek.
Copy !req
410. Fifty for one.
Copy !req
411. It's a good deal.
Copy !req
412. How's your blouse?
Copy !req
413. What assurances do I have
that you'll keep your word?
Copy !req
414. I'll wait for confirmation that
General Radek has been released.
Copy !req
415. Until then...
Copy !req
416. I will execute a hostage
every half an hour.
Copy !req
417. You have my word.
Copy !req
418. You must understand that we—
Hello?
Copy !req
419. - They're off!
- Hello?
Copy !req
420. Damn it. Nobody does this
to the United States.
Copy !req
421. The president will get back his glove
and play catch with this guy's balls.
Copy !req
422. We can't do anything in half an hour.
We need more time.
Copy !req
423. He's a zealot. Tough to negotiate with.
All you can do is wear them down.
Copy !req
424. Mr. Secretary! Mr. Secretary, sir.
Copy !req
425. We found the escape pod.
Copy !req
426. It's empty.
Copy !req
427. So where's the president?
Copy !req
428. I think we have to acknowledge
the possibility...
Copy !req
429. that the president may be dead.
Copy !req
430. Why wouldn't they tell us?
Copy !req
431. Diversion. Try to buy some time.
Copy !req
432. It could have happened,
and they're afraid we'll retaliate.
Copy !req
433. Damn right, we'll retaliate. We'll
release Radek into the atmosphere.
Copy !req
434. It doesn't add up. That terrorist knew
we'd recover the pod in short order.
Copy !req
435. He expected that
we'd be talking to Marshall.
Copy !req
436. Let's not bury him yet.
He could still be alive in that plane.
Copy !req
437. Let's not forget this president
is a Medal of Honor winner.
Copy !req
438. In Vietnam,
he flew more helicopter missions...
Copy !req
439. than any other man in my command.
He knows how to fight.
Copy !req
440. Then he's taking a terrible chance
with his life.
Copy !req
441. The element of surprise
is a formidable advantage in combat.
Copy !req
442. If he's up there,
he's the best chance that we have.
Copy !req
443. That pod was designed
for a reason, general.
Copy !req
444. He has no right to take chances
with his life.
Copy !req
445. Everything is all right.
Copy !req
446. What does the psych profile say?
How far do they say he'll go?
Copy !req
447. He's a Radek loyalist. That tells us
all we need to know, doesn't it?
Copy !req
448. He'll see this thing through
to the last hostage or his own death.
Copy !req
449. Release this bastard and Central Asia
will go up in flames.
Copy !req
450. I'm aware of that.
Copy !req
451. Bring back the old Soviet empire
under a flag of genocide?
Copy !req
452. Radek with a nuclear arsenal?
Copy !req
453. I hate to say this, but 50 people...
Copy !req
454. is a small price to pay
to stop that from happening.
Copy !req
455. Even if one of them
is the president?
Copy !req
456. The presidency is bigger
than any one man.
Copy !req
457. Didn't they teach you that?
Copy !req
458. Can't we release him today
and pick up the pieces tomorrow?
Copy !req
459. We caught him before,
we'll catch him again.
Copy !req
460. If Petrov releases Radek,
his government will fall.
Copy !req
461. I promise you that.
Then who's gonna stand up to Radek?
Copy !req
462. You go to catch him again,
you're gonna find him in Moscow.
Copy !req
463. With all respect, Mr. Secretary...
Copy !req
464. we don't need more dramatics,
we need options.
Copy !req
465. - It's not an option.
- We need a decision.
Copy !req
466. It's not her decision.
Copy !req
467. This is a military situation.
I'm the secretary of defense.
Copy !req
468. Check your regs. In the absence
of the president, the buck stops here.
Copy !req
469. Get the attorney general with a copy
of the Constitution. We have—
Copy !req
470. Oh, my God. Nineteen minutes.
Copy !req
471. I'm gonna consult
with President Petrov.
Copy !req
472. Madam Vice President, I'm sorry.
I cannot release him.
Copy !req
473. We would train all our military might
against this one target.
Copy !req
474. I assure you he wouldn't stay at large
for long.
Copy !req
475. Maybe so, but millions of lives
are hanging in the balance.
Copy !req
476. I am trying to save a nation.
Copy !req
477. As am I.
Copy !req
478. No nation can easily survive the loss
of, nor soon replace, a great leader.
Copy !req
479. Now, let us be pragmatic.
Fifty lives means nothing...
Copy !req
480. in the grand scheme.
Copy !req
481. Well, then,
let me be equally pragmatic.
Copy !req
482. Our president took a great risk
to come to your aid...
Copy !req
483. against strong opposition
in both parties and among our allies.
Copy !req
484. It would be impossible
to do so again.
Copy !req
485. If it meant saving his life,
I would gladly do it.
Copy !req
486. But I would have to know for sure.
Copy !req
487. And you cannot tell me he's alive,
can you?
Copy !req
488. No, Mr. President, I cannot.
Copy !req
489. Then there is nothing I can do.
I am truly sorry. Goodbye.
Copy !req
490. Okay, Walter,
you and your generals get to work.
Copy !req
491. He was in Afghanistan with me
for five years.
Copy !req
492. Find out who killed him
or you lie down next to him.
Copy !req
493. Okay, they can't keep the plane
in the air indefinitely.
Copy !req
494. There are four possible
landing sites in Kazakhstan...
Copy !req
495. that are controlled
by Radek's forces.
Copy !req
496. We have to go in and take all of them.
Can we do it?
Copy !req
497. I'd rather take my chances
in the air.
Copy !req
498. I just looked at the airborne scenarios.
They're no good.
Copy !req
499. - Can we do this?
- In the time we have? Messy.
Copy !req
500. Three more minutes before
they execute the first hostage.
Copy !req
501. You'll have to buy us more time.
Copy !req
502. All right.
Copy !req
503. It's time.
Copy !req
504. Transfer the phone
to the conference room.
Copy !req
505. You both, come here.
Copy !req
506. Now!
Copy !req
507. They will transfer the call here.
Copy !req
508. So...
Copy !req
509. let's just wait.
Copy !req
510. Excuse me.
Copy !req
511. Sir, if you will permit me,
I am the national security advisor.
Copy !req
512. I'm the man the president
would be listening to.
Copy !req
513. I believe you are negotiating right now
with the vice president.
Copy !req
514. Unfortunately, in our system, the vice
president is like the queen of England.
Copy !req
515. She can't even get airline tickets
without talking to somebody like me.
Copy !req
516. Therefore, let me speak
to the White House...
Copy !req
517. because I promise you, I'm the one
person who can make this all work out.
Copy !req
518. Has he been released?
Copy !req
519. I've contacted
the Russian government.
Copy !req
520. We've set things in motion.
Copy !req
521. But at this point,
we have to be realistic.
Copy !req
522. It's going to take more time.
Copy !req
523. More time?
Copy !req
524. Your national security advisor
has just been executed.
Copy !req
525. He's a very good negotiator.
Copy !req
526. He bought you another half hour.
Copy !req
527. Mrs. Marshall.
Copy !req
528. Alice.
Copy !req
529. If you please, come with me.
Copy !req
530. That's the first time you ever seen
a man killed, huh?
Copy !req
531. Leave her alone.
Copy !req
532. You think I am a monster?
Copy !req
533. That I would kill this man?
Copy !req
534. Somebody's son?
Copy !req
535. Somebody's father?
Copy !req
536. I am somebody's son too.
Copy !req
537. I have three small children.
Copy !req
538. Does that surprise you?
Copy !req
539. - Tell her to answer.
- You leave her alone.
Copy !req
540. Shut up.
Copy !req
541. Why did you kill him?
Copy !req
542. Because I believe.
Copy !req
543. And when I shoot this man, I
know in that instant...
Copy !req
544. how deep was my belief.
Copy !req
545. That I would turn my back
on God himself...
Copy !req
546. for Mother Russia.
Copy !req
547. My doubts, my fears.
Copy !req
548. My own private morality.
Copy !req
549. It dissolve in this moment...
Copy !req
550. for this love.
Copy !req
551. You know, your father,
he has also killed.
Copy !req
552. - Is he a bad man?
- That's not true.
Copy !req
553. Why?
Copy !req
554. Because he does it in a tuxedo with
a telephone call and a smart bomb?
Copy !req
555. You are a monster.
Copy !req
556. And my father is a great man.
Copy !req
557. You're nothing like my father.
Copy !req
558. What's the goddamn number?
Copy !req
559. What city please?
Copy !req
560. Washington D.C., please,
the White House.
Copy !req
561. - Just a moment. Here's the number.
- Can you connect me to that number?
Copy !req
562. - There's a connect fee of one dollar.
- Fine.
Copy !req
563. White House switchboard.
How may I direct your call?
Copy !req
564. All right, listen. Listen carefully.
Copy !req
565. This is an emergency call from Air
Force One. This is the president.
Copy !req
566. Connect me to the vice president.
Copy !req
567. Who did you say is calling?
Copy !req
568. - This is the president.
- Yeah, right, and I'm the first lady.
Copy !req
569. Don't cut me off.
This is an emergency.
Copy !req
570. Sir, the president doesn't call
this particular phone number...
Copy !req
571. so whoever you are—
Copy !req
572. Trace the call.
Copy !req
573. Follow your standard
security procedure.
Copy !req
574. Trace the goddamn call.
Copy !req
575. Okay, sir. You want to make a federal
case out of this, fine by me.
Copy !req
576. Hello. Anyone there?
Copy !req
577. Don't move.
Copy !req
578. - I traced the call, sir.
- Give me the gun.
Copy !req
579. - Are you there?
- Very slowly.
Copy !req
580. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
581. I'll put you right through,
Mr. President.
Copy !req
582. The switchboard has a call from
someone claiming to be the president.
Copy !req
583. She traced it
to the White House satellite account.
Copy !req
584. The caller's gone,
but the line is active.
Copy !req
585. Put it through.
Copy !req
586. Listen to me.
Copy !req
587. Listen to me. You know who I am.
Copy !req
588. I'm the president
of the United States.
Copy !req
589. - Yes!
- Quiet!
Copy !req
590. Don't think that means
I don't shoot you.
Copy !req
591. Put your hands behind your head
and move.
Copy !req
592. This is your lucky day.
Copy !req
593. What more can my people do?
Tell the F-15s to fire at the plane?
Copy !req
594. Even if they tried, we're equipped
with tactical countermeasures.
Copy !req
595. - He's talking to us.
- What do you mean?
Copy !req
596. I just want you to feel secure.
That way no one will get hurt.
Copy !req
597. The computer will fly circles
around any missile they fire at us.
Copy !req
598. - And no hit, just a shock wave.
- He's telling us what to do.
Copy !req
599. Believe me, all that would happen
is that we'd get knocked off our feet.
Copy !req
600. - That's all.
- Shut up, goddamnit!
Copy !req
601. My God.
Copy !req
602. - Is he saying what I think he's saying?
- If we're going to act, we have to now.
Copy !req
603. - It's risky.
- The president is there...
Copy !req
604. - ... with a gun to his head.
- He's asking us to do that...
Copy !req
605. - ... to Air Force One?
- He's not asking.
Copy !req
606. Your commander in chief
has issued a direct order. Do it!
Copy !req
607. Sir, are you sure
that's what you want me to do?
Copy !req
608. You heard me, Carlton. And let's pray
it works the way it's supposed to.
Copy !req
609. Okay, boys, give me some room.
Copy !req
610. I've just been ordered to fire
on Air Force One.
Copy !req
611. I'm in position. Missiles are armed.
Copy !req
612. The target is acquired.
I have a good lock.
Copy !req
613. God, I hope this works. Fox Three.
Copy !req
614. What's going on?
Copy !req
615. The Americans fired at us.
Copy !req
616. I have no control.
Copy !req
617. The computer is flying.
Copy !req
618. Are they crazy?
Copy !req
619. This is Marshall.
Copy !req
620. - Anyone there?
- We're here, Mr. President.
Copy !req
621. Where's my family? Are they safe?
Copy !req
622. The terrorists claim they're
holding them. We can't confirm.
Copy !req
623. Who are they? What do they want?
Copy !req
624. They're Russian
ultranationalist radicals.
Copy !req
625. They want General Radek released
from prison.
Copy !req
626. Radek.
Copy !req
627. - What are our tactical options?
- We're working on that.
Copy !req
628. - But the bastards have us in a corner.
- There is no rescue attempt?
Copy !req
629. I ruled out a midair rescue.
Copy !req
630. Nothing we can do while the
plane is in the air.
Copy !req
631. We gotta get this plane on the ground.
Take me off the speakerphone.
Copy !req
632. - Where's Bennett?
- Mr. President.
Copy !req
633. We cannot release Radek.
Copy !req
634. They're gonna shoot a hostage
every half hour until we do.
Copy !req
635. I don't want a plane
full of dead people.
Copy !req
636. Jim, they shot Jack Doherty.
Copy !req
637. Christ.
Copy !req
638. Kathryn, we can't give in to their
demands. It won't end there.
Copy !req
639. And if you die in that plane,
does it end there?
Copy !req
640. Kathryn, we've got a job to do...
Copy !req
641. whatever the cost.
Copy !req
642. - Mr. President, I—
- Kathryn.
Copy !req
643. If you give a mouse a cookie—
Copy !req
644. He's gonna want a glass of milk.
Copy !req
645. We gotta get this plane
on the ground.
Copy !req
646. Has Bazylev returned?
Copy !req
647. No.
Copy !req
648. Get the plane on the ground.
Copy !req
649. This man down there evades us.
Copy !req
650. My patience is running out.
Copy !req
651. I thought I'd ask you
to come and join us.
Copy !req
652. It is starting to feel a little empty
up here.
Copy !req
653. Sit down. Please.
Copy !req
654. Come.
Copy !req
655. Tell me your name again...
Copy !req
656. for the record.
Copy !req
657. Melanie.
Copy !req
658. Melanie Mitchell.
Copy !req
659. You travel often with the president?
Copy !req
660. Yes.
Copy !req
661. So you know everyone
on the plane?
Copy !req
662. Yes.
Copy !req
663. I bet they like you, huh?
Copy !req
664. You're a nice person, yes?
Copy !req
665. I guess so.
Copy !req
666. You are trembling.
Copy !req
667. Why are you afraid?
Copy !req
668. Because I don't wanna die.
Copy !req
669. I don't wanna die.
Copy !req
670. Tell me.
Copy !req
671. What am I doing at this moment?
Copy !req
672. You're pointing a gun at me.
Copy !req
673. Thank you, Melanie.
Copy !req
674. This is to the secret service agent
in the baggage deck.
Copy !req
675. I will count to ten.
Copy !req
676. And if you do not surrender,
this nice woman will die.
Copy !req
677. - No.
- One.
Copy !req
678. - Please don't.
- Two.
Copy !req
679. Don't do this!
Copy !req
680. - No.
- Three.
Copy !req
681. - Let me talk to him.
- Four.
Copy !req
682. - I beg you, please.
- Five.
Copy !req
683. Let me talk to the agent.
Copy !req
684. - Six.
- He might listen to me.
Copy !req
685. - Seven.
- Please, I beg you. Don't do this.
Copy !req
686. - Eight.
- Don't do this, please.
Copy !req
687. - Nine.
- No.
Copy !req
688. Oh, God.
Copy !req
689. Let's just think about that one
for a moment.
Copy !req
690. And then we'll start again.
Copy !req
691. Next time...
Copy !req
692. I'll choose someone
more important.
Copy !req
693. I know what you are thinking,
first lady.
Copy !req
694. You want me dead.
Copy !req
695. It may come to that.
In a war, people die.
Copy !req
696. This isn't war.
Copy !req
697. You just murdered
an unarmed woman.
Copy !req
698. You, who murdered 100,000 Iraqis
to save a nickel on a gallon of gas...
Copy !req
699. are going to lecture me
about the rules of war?
Copy !req
700. Don't!
Copy !req
701. Mr. President, how can I help you?
Copy !req
702. Chief, you can help me
dump some fuel.
Copy !req
703. Who's down there
in the baggage deck?
Copy !req
704. - It was a secret service agent. Who?
- We have no idea, sir.
Copy !req
705. Melanie was shot because one
of your men wouldn't show himself.
Copy !req
706. - I want to know who this is.
- We'd like to know.
Copy !req
707. Sir, it's someone who's smart enough
to know...
Copy !req
708. if you're hunting with one bullet,
you wait for a clean shot.
Copy !req
709. What are you saying, major?
Copy !req
710. I'm saying, sir, whoever that is down
there, he may be our only hope.
Copy !req
711. Our only hope is that Washington
complies with this bastard.
Copy !req
712. Because any minute now
another one of us is dead.
Copy !req
713. And you know what?
Copy !req
714. I'm afraid it might be me.
Copy !req
715. Sir, do you see
the maintenance panel?
Copy !req
716. - I see it.
- Pop it open.
Copy !req
717. There should be a red switch.
Toggle it up.
Copy !req
718. Hang on.
Copy !req
719. Okay,
we got some indicator lights here.
Copy !req
720. To dump the fuel, you have
to close the circuit for the pump.
Copy !req
721. There's no switch, Mr. President
so you'll have to cross the wires.
Copy !req
722. - Open the fuel control door.
- Hang on here.
Copy !req
723. There should be five of them.
Copy !req
724. - Do you see them, sir?
- Yeah. I see them. Yeah.
Copy !req
725. Jesus. There's a lot of goddamn wires.
All right, wait a second.
Copy !req
726. We got five.
Copy !req
727. Green, yellow, red, white and blue.
Copy !req
728. Okay, hang on.
Let me double-check.
Copy !req
729. Come on. For chrissake,
hurry up.
Copy !req
730. Sir, if you get the wrong wire,
the plane will crash.
Copy !req
731. Then we don't want
to get the wrong wire, do we?
Copy !req
732. First cut the green wire.
Copy !req
733. Green wire. Okay. Green.
Copy !req
734. Okay. Cut.
Copy !req
735. And, then, cross the—
Copy !req
736. - With the—
- With the what?
Copy !req
737. Hello? Cross it with the what?
Say again.
Copy !req
738. Cross the green wire with the—
Copy !req
739. For chrissake.
Copy !req
740. Wait, green...
Copy !req
741. yellow...
Copy !req
742. red, white and blue. Cross—
Copy !req
743. I'm counting on you,
red, white and blue.
Copy !req
744. Sirs, it looks like Air Force One
is losing fuel.
Copy !req
745. We're losing fuel.
Copy !req
746. Somebody is pumping it
out of Avionics.
Copy !req
747. I'm going downstairs.
Copy !req
748. Take Sergei.
Copy !req
749. If it isn't us coming out, shoot.
Copy !req
750. A magazine, quickly.
Copy !req
751. Are you okay?
Copy !req
752. Sergei? Kolchak?
Copy !req
753. What's happening?
Copy !req
754. He's dead. Give us a hand.
Copy !req
755. Madam Vice President,
the time has come...
Copy !req
756. for you
to demonstrate your good faith.
Copy !req
757. I've been reading
through your press kit.
Copy !req
758. I understand Air Force One
is able to refuel in midair.
Copy !req
759. Well, we need fuel.
And we need it now.
Copy !req
760. I'm sure we can come
to some sort of arrangement.
Copy !req
761. If you'll land the plane,
we'll trade fuel for hostages.
Copy !req
762. This is bullshit!
Copy !req
763. It's simple physics. Without fuel,
the plane crashes. Everybody dies.
Copy !req
764. We're trying to do everything
that we can.
Copy !req
765. Tell me what I want to hear...
Copy !req
766. or I will execute a member
of the senior staff...
Copy !req
767. and continue killing
one hostage every minute...
Copy !req
768. until the plane crash
or refueling plane arrive.
Copy !req
769. Well, what do you say?
Copy !req
770. Fuel's on its way.
Copy !req
771. Thank you.
Copy !req
772. They'll refuel us.
Copy !req
773. Ready.
Copy !req
774. Everything all right?
Copy !req
775. Yes.
Copy !req
776. Move.
Copy !req
777. - Jim, what are you doing here?
- I never left.
Copy !req
778. Gibbs.
Copy !req
779. Watch the door.
Copy !req
780. Where's my family?
Copy !req
781. Another part of the plane.
We haven't seen them.
Copy !req
782. We got weapons.
We should try to retake the plane.
Copy !req
783. Not while
they've got Grace and Alice.
Copy !req
784. What about trying to disable the plane
and force them to land?
Copy !req
785. I tried that. I dumped some fuel.
Now they're gonna refuel us in midair.
Copy !req
786. A refueling tanker? Jesus.
Copy !req
787. Sir?
Copy !req
788. There may be a way
to get these people off the plane.
Copy !req
789. What do you mean?
Copy !req
790. We have emergency parachutes
in the tail cone, but we're too high.
Copy !req
791. If we could somehow get a message
to the refueling tanker...
Copy !req
792. get him to drop to 15,000 feet,
we could jump.
Copy !req
793. They've disabled the phones.
They control the radios.
Copy !req
794. - Mr. President, sir? The fax machines.
- I told you the phone lines are out.
Copy !req
795. No. Voice lines and faxes are on two
different systems of encryption.
Copy !req
796. If you disable one, it'd be easy
to overlook the other.
Copy !req
797. If this works, you get to be
postmaster general. Come with me.
Copy !req
798. - Get these people ready.
- Yes. Remember.
Copy !req
799. Fifteen thousand feet and 200 knots.
Otherwise it's suicide.
Copy !req
800. You'll need this.
Copy !req
801. Good luck, people.
Copy !req
802. - Where are we sending it?
- Situation Room.
Copy !req
803. It makes me so proud, Mr. President,
that you stuck with us.
Copy !req
804. - Thanks.
- Whatever happens.
Copy !req
805. Yes.
Copy !req
806. Madam Vice President,
the attorney general is here.
Copy !req
807. - Thank you for coming, Andrew.
- Hello.
Copy !req
808. Good that you're here.
Copy !req
809. You want my interpretation
as to what the Constitution says...
Copy !req
810. about the situation?
Copy !req
811. Yes, now, Andrew,
my understanding is...
Copy !req
812. that if the president is out of contact
in a military situation...
Copy !req
813. the secretary of defense is in charge
as second in command.
Copy !req
814. - Yes, of course.
- Good. Then that settles it.
Copy !req
815. It doesn't settle it at all.
Copy !req
816. The president is not merely out
of contact. He is also under duress.
Copy !req
817. His family is held hostage,
possibly himself a hostage.
Copy !req
818. It creates an incapacity to discharge
the office under the 25th amendment.
Copy !req
819. Surely just as if he'd had a stroke.
Copy !req
820. I think the president would dispute
that any incapacity exists.
Copy !req
821. It exists if a majority of the cabinet,
including yourself, says it exists.
Copy !req
822. The president may be alive,
but he may not be the president.
Copy !req
823. Madam Vice President?
I think you need to see this.
Copy !req
824. This is CNN breaking news.
Copy !req
825. We interrupt programming to bring
you this breaking news bulletin.
Copy !req
826. CNN has received
unconfirmed reports...
Copy !req
827. that Air Force One has crashed.
Copy !req
828. - Oh, my God. How did they get that?
- I don't know.
Copy !req
829. The aircraft was en route
from Moscow when it began its hail.
Copy !req
830. I repeat.
We have unconfirmed reports—
Copy !req
831. Call the press room.
We have to issue a statement.
Copy !req
832. —Plane has crashed
in Eastern Europe.
Copy !req
833. - Has Air Force One crashed?
- As far as I know, that is a rumor.
Copy !req
834. - Where'd the story come from?
- I don't know where that came from.
Copy !req
835. Listen. Listen.
I cannot confirm anything...
Copy !req
836. at this point.
Copy !req
837. Ladies and gentlemen,
I have a statement.
Copy !req
838. The president's plane, Air Force One,
has been hijacked.
Copy !req
839. Please.
Copy !req
840. Ladies and gentlemen,
please let me finish.
Copy !req
841. For security reasons,
I cannot divulge...
Copy !req
842. the identity of the hijackers
or who was on board the plane.
Copy !req
843. But I'm here to assure
the American people...
Copy !req
844. that we are doing everything we can
to resolve the situation.
Copy !req
845. For the safety of all the people
on the plane...
Copy !req
846. I cannot tell you any more than I
have. I'm sure you understand that.
Copy !req
847. Is James Marshall still president?
Copy !req
848. I am coordinating with
the National Security Council...
Copy !req
849. pending the president's return.
Copy !req
850. And, yes, James Marshall
is still the president.
Copy !req
851. At this time—
Copy !req
852. At this time, I would like
to ask all Americans...
Copy !req
853. to pray for the safety of everyone
on board Air Force One.
Copy !req
854. Thank you.
Copy !req
855. The president.
Copy !req
856. Where is the president?
Copy !req
857. Everything all right down there?
Copy !req
858. Yes.
Copy !req
859. Folks, listen up. Listen up.
This is your main rip cord.
Copy !req
860. As soon as you clear the plane,
give it a yank.
Copy !req
861. If your chute doesn't open,
this is your reserve chute.
Copy !req
862. Pull it down. Clear?
Copy !req
863. Air Force One.
Air Force One, do you read?
Copy !req
864. Yes, we read. Go ahead.
Copy !req
865. Air Force One, this is Extender 1-0.
Copy !req
866. We have been instructed
to refuel you.
Copy !req
867. Go ahead.
Copy !req
868. Drop to 15,000 feet
and slow to 200 knots.
Copy !req
869. Acknowledged. Two hundred.
Copy !req
870. - They got it.
- They got the fax.
Copy !req
871. - Sir, your chute.
- No, no.
Copy !req
872. - Oh, please, sir.
- I'm not leaving without my family.
Copy !req
873. Okay, Air Force One, you need
to open your receptacle door.
Copy !req
874. Pull the yellow lever
on the upper control panel.
Copy !req
875. Done.
Copy !req
876. Go ahead and close distance,
nice and easy.
Copy !req
877. Almost there.
Copy !req
878. - Where are your chutes?
- We stay with the president, sir.
Copy !req
879. Thank you.
Copy !req
880. All right, that's close enough.
Here we go.
Copy !req
881. Go! Go!
Copy !req
882. - Go! Come on!
- Go! Come on!
Copy !req
883. Go check... do it!
Copy !req
884. Go! You, come on.
Copy !req
885. The hostages are gone!
Copy !req
886. We've got—
Copy !req
887. Okay, so far 25 chutes.
Copy !req
888. - I can't hold her.
- What are you doing?
Copy !req
889. Break away! Break away!
Copy !req
890. Sir, take my hand!
Copy !req
891. Everybody, break now!
Copy !req
892. - Don't move!
- Let me save him.
Copy !req
893. He's the president, for God's sake!
Copy !req
894. Go get him!
Copy !req
895. Grab my hand!
Copy !req
896. Major!
Copy !req
897. I got you.
Copy !req
898. We have the President.
Copy !req
899. We've lost the tanker? What else?
Copy !req
900. - They're counting 32 survivors.
- That means they still have hostages.
Copy !req
901. - What about the first family?
- No word yet.
Copy !req
902. Losing hostages will make
the terrorists desperate.
Copy !req
903. Madam Vice President,
we've got Air Force One on the line.
Copy !req
904. This is Vice President Bennett.
We're listening.
Copy !req
905. I now hold hostage...
Copy !req
906. the president
of the United States of America.
Copy !req
907. Soon we shall enter the sovereign
airspace of Kazakhstan.
Copy !req
908. You will cease your military escort
at the border.
Copy !req
909. If you violate our airspace...
Copy !req
910. I will execute a member
of the first family.
Copy !req
911. Tell our fighters to back off.
Copy !req
912. Get me Ops.
Copy !req
913. You said a presidential incapacity
could be declared by the majority.
Copy !req
914. - Would you sign it?
- Under the circumstances.
Copy !req
915. See who else would.
Copy !req
916. Move! Come on, move!
Copy !req
917. Fast! Move! Quick! Right here.
Copy !req
918. Dad.
Copy !req
919. - It'll be all right. It'll be all right.
- I know.
Copy !req
920. You've been very busy downstairs.
Copy !req
921. Haven't you?
Copy !req
922. Killing my men.
Copy !req
923. - No!
- You don't wanna do that.
Copy !req
924. I'm what you came for.
Don't forget that.
Copy !req
925. Then I kill them.
Copy !req
926. Or just one.
Copy !req
927. You pick.
Copy !req
928. That's what you do
in the White House. You play God.
Copy !req
929. Go ahead.
Copy !req
930. Which one lives?
Copy !req
931. - I love you.
- Go ahead.
Copy !req
932. You're not here for this.
You want something.
Copy !req
933. - What is it?
- Radek.
Copy !req
934. How can I do that? I can't do that.
Copy !req
935. - Then you die, the three of you.
- I'll do anything.
Copy !req
936. Don't ask for something I can't give.
Copy !req
937. The most powerful man on the earth,
and there are things you cannot do.
Copy !req
938. This is very curious.
Stop with your fucking lies!
Copy !req
939. - Petrov will never give up Radek.
- Petrov is a dog.
Copy !req
940. He does what you tell him.
Copy !req
941. Tell him to do this.
Copy !req
942. Petrov used me. I just wanted
to stop the bloodshed.
Copy !req
943. He wanted a personal victory.
Petrov hates Radek.
Copy !req
944. Of course he hates Radek.
Radek is everything he is not.
Copy !req
945. A great man, a strong man.
Copy !req
946. Are you saying...
Copy !req
947. he would refuse you?
Copy !req
948. You'd be playing right into his hands.
Are you an idiot?
Copy !req
949. You'd make him into a hero.
The man who stopped the terrorists.
Copy !req
950. Or better yet,
the man who stopped me.
Copy !req
951. You talk as if you have nothing
to do with this.
Copy !req
952. This is all your doing.
Copy !req
953. This infection you call freedom.
Copy !req
954. Without meaning, without purpose.
Copy !req
955. You have given my country...
Copy !req
956. to gangsters and prostitutes.
Copy !req
957. You have taken everything from us.
Copy !req
958. There is nothing left.
Copy !req
959. Call him.
Copy !req
960. No.
Copy !req
961. No! Leave her!
Copy !req
962. Please.
Copy !req
963. - No.
- I have no choice.
Copy !req
964. - You have the choice.
- Leave her alone.
Copy !req
965. This is between you and me.
Copy !req
966. You lose a child, it hollows you out.
Copy !req
967. We're soldiers.
Copy !req
968. You take my life.
Copy !req
969. Have you no honor?
Copy !req
970. - I'll count to five.
- No!
Copy !req
971. - It's gonna be all right, honey.
- One.
Copy !req
972. - It's gonna be all right.
- Two.
Copy !req
973. I'll do it.
Copy !req
974. Yes.
Copy !req
975. I'll do it.
Copy !req
976. You just leave my family alone.
Copy !req
977. Leave them alone.
Copy !req
978. Sir, the President
of the United States.
Copy !req
979. Mr. President.
Copy !req
980. We just got an intercept.
Copy !req
981. The president called Petrov
and asked him to release Radek.
Copy !req
982. - He can't do that.
- He must have no choice.
Copy !req
983. We have a choice.
Copy !req
984. I have the signatures of the cabinet
attesting to the president's incapacity.
Copy !req
985. - Sign it and you can overrule him.
- No. I won't do that.
Copy !req
986. The United States does not negotiate
with terrorists.
Copy !req
987. It's been our bedrock principle
for 25 years.
Copy !req
988. You can't give in to them now.
Copy !req
989. It'll be open season on the
United States. Many more will die.
Copy !req
990. Jim isn't making this decision
as president.
Copy !req
991. He's making it
as a husband and a father.
Copy !req
992. History will judge you
by what you do right now.
Copy !req
993. For God's sake, sign it.
Copy !req
994. No.
Copy !req
995. You are released.
Copy !req
996. I can now confirm that General Radek
is in the process of being released.
Copy !req
997. I repeat. General Radek
is now being released.
Copy !req
998. Yes, yes.
General Radek has been released.
Copy !req
999. It is confirmed.
Copy !req
1000. They are releasing the general.
Copy !req
1001. Now what?
Copy !req
1002. Now we return to our homeland...
Copy !req
1003. where Radek will decide
how best to use you...
Copy !req
1004. now that we know
you are willing...
Copy !req
1005. to negotiate.
Copy !req
1006. Our nation needs so many things.
Copy !req
1007. - You said you were gonna release us.
- Forgive me. I lied.
Copy !req
1008. Listen.
Copy !req
1009. Jim.
Copy !req
1010. Dad.
Copy !req
1011. - Sir, are you hit?
- Stay with the major, honey.
Copy !req
1012. - Alice, get in the cockpit.
- Lie down.
Copy !req
1013. Grace.
Copy !req
1014. Grace!
Copy !req
1015. - Jim! Jim!
- Grace!
Copy !req
1016. - Let her go!
- Not until Radek is safely away.
Copy !req
1017. Jim, call it off. Don't give up Radek.
Copy !req
1018. If anything happens to the general,
your wife will die!
Copy !req
1019. Comrades.
Copy !req
1020. Our forces have arrived
for the General.
Copy !req
1021. They'll pick him up any minute.
Copy !req
1022. You hear that?
It's almost over, Mr. President.
Copy !req
1023. Drop the gun!
Copy !req
1024. You made one mistake when you
killed my pilot, Mr. President.
Copy !req
1025. No one left to fly the plane.
Copy !req
1026. And no parachute.
Copy !req
1027. Whatever happens...
Copy !req
1028. you lose and I win.
Copy !req
1029. Get off my plane.
Copy !req
1030. You all right?
Copy !req
1031. They're leading the general
to the courtyard.
Copy !req
1032. Go.
Copy !req
1033. Go! Call Petrov!
Copy !req
1034. Stop! Don't move.
Copy !req
1035. They killed him.
Copy !req
1036. Mr. President.
Copy !req
1037. He almost got away.
Did you hear me, sir? Radek is dead.
Copy !req
1038. Yes! It's the president.
We have retaken the plane!
Copy !req
1039. - How's he doing?
- Not good, sir.
Copy !req
1040. - I don't suppose you know how to fly.
- No, sir.
Copy !req
1041. - Come along, major. I'll need a copilot.
- Yes, sir.
Copy !req
1042. How long since you've flown, sir?
Copy !req
1043. Twenty-five years.
Little planes. Never jets.
Copy !req
1044. Nothing like this.
Copy !req
1045. - Anybody there?
- Yes. We're here, sir.
Copy !req
1046. You got somebody
that can help me fly this?
Copy !req
1047. - Sir, this is Colonel Jackson.
- Bob.
Copy !req
1048. We need to get you
out of hostile territory.
Copy !req
1049. - Good idea, Bob.
- Look above the central video screen.
Copy !req
1050. There's a series of LED numbers.
Now, one of them should read 1-1-0.
Copy !req
1051. - Got it.
- That's your course heading.
Copy !req
1052. Now, just below, there's a knob
surrounded by hash marks.
Copy !req
1053. I want you to turn that knob
counterclockwise to two-niner-zero.
Copy !req
1054. Two-niner-zero.
Copy !req
1055. - We're turning, Bob.
- Good.
Copy !req
1056. - This will take you out of Kazakhstan.
- We're gonna be okay.
Copy !req
1057. Now, we can't land this plane
on autopilot...
Copy !req
1058. so we're gonna need
to go over a few things.
Copy !req
1059. Where's the nearest
safe landing site?
Copy !req
1060. Incirlik, Turkey.
Copy !req
1061. - General Northwood.
- Madam?
Copy !req
1062. What's that?
Copy !req
1063. Madam Vice President,
that red dot represents MiGs.
Copy !req
1064. On course
to intercept Air Force One.
Copy !req
1065. Christ. They took off
from Aktubinsk.
Copy !req
1066. The base commander there
is loyal to Radek.
Copy !req
1067. General, send our fighters
into Kazakhstan.
Copy !req
1068. Order them to use any and all means
to protect the president.
Copy !req
1069. When you're on final approach, I want
you to keep the throttles mid-range.
Copy !req
1070. - Mr. President, can you hear me?
- Yes, Kathryn.
Copy !req
1071. We're tracking six MiGs closing
on your position. I'm sending in...
Copy !req
1072. our F-15s to protect you.
Copy !req
1073. - Shit.
- Did she say MiGs?
Copy !req
1074. Yes, she said MiGs.
Copy !req
1075. Honey, get in that seat and put
a seat belt on. We're having trouble.
Copy !req
1076. Guys, these MiGs get closer, I'm
gonna have to maneuver this thing.
Copy !req
1077. How do I get it off autopilot?
Copy !req
1078. Push the button on the yoke
by your left thumb.
Copy !req
1079. I'll try a little right turn.
Copy !req
1080. Just keep your moves smooth
and steady. It's all flying, sir.
Copy !req
1081. Just step on the ball.
Copy !req
1082. That's right. Just like riding a bike.
Copy !req
1083. Halo Flight, we are cleared to commit,
bearing 0-9-0.
Copy !req
1084. Jettison tanks and push it up.
Copy !req
1085. These MiGs, how far away are they?
Copy !req
1086. Never mind.
Copy !req
1087. We've got one coming at us.
Countermeasures are activated.
Copy !req
1088. Left turn.
Copy !req
1089. Jesus Christ.
Copy !req
1090. - We need some help here.
- US fighters, this is Air Force One.
Copy !req
1091. We are under attack.
Where the hell are you?
Copy !req
1092. This is Halo Flight closing
on your position. ETA two minutes.
Copy !req
1093. We may not be here in two minutes.
Copy !req
1094. We're hit!
Copy !req
1095. Christ. We're on fire.
We've got an engine on fire.
Copy !req
1096. - Number four engine is on fire.
- Pull the fire handle overhead.
Copy !req
1097. Okay. I got it. I got it.
Copy !req
1098. We're rolling right.
Copy !req
1099. Left rudder.
You have to compensate.
Copy !req
1100. - Pull back number one engine?
- Negative. You'll slow down.
Copy !req
1101. - Trim it out.
- How do I do that?
Copy !req
1102. - Knob. Aft pedestal.
- Jesus Christ.
Copy !req
1103. We got a red light here.
Looks like we're losing fuel.
Copy !req
1104. Halo Flight.
Copy !req
1105. Everybody lock a bandit.
Copy !req
1106. Stand by for max range.
Copy !req
1107. And Fox Three!
Copy !req
1108. Kill one! Kill one!
Copy !req
1109. Kill two! Four more bandits
bearing 0-9-0. Halo Flight engage.
Copy !req
1110. Good guys are here.
Copy !req
1111. Air Force One, bug out west.
We'll cover you.
Copy !req
1112. You got it.
Copy !req
1113. - Sir, pull up! You got one on your tail.
- Get him off my tail.
Copy !req
1114. Missile away. Air Force One,
break left and climb.
Copy !req
1115. Sir, we've lost countermeasures.
Copy !req
1116. This is Halo 2. They've lost
countermeasures. I'm going in.
Copy !req
1117. Two's down! Halo 2 is down!
Copy !req
1118. - Air Force One, are you still with us?
- Yes. We're still here.
Copy !req
1119. Not so fast, you son of a bitch.
Copy !req
1120. The last three MiGs
are bugging out.
Copy !req
1121. We're clear!
Copy !req
1122. - Bob, are you still there?
- Yes, sir.
Copy !req
1123. Got a little problem here.
My rudder is sluggish.
Copy !req
1124. Let me take a look, sir.
Copy !req
1125. Oh, man.
Copy !req
1126. Sir, you're torn up pretty bad
out here.
Copy !req
1127. Do you have any elevator control?
Copy !req
1128. It's sluggish, too.
And we're still losing fuel.
Copy !req
1129. Okay.
Copy !req
1130. We got a problem up here.
Sirs, Air Force One is badly hit.
Copy !req
1131. With the damage,
there's no way they can land.
Copy !req
1132. I'm sorry, sir.
Copy !req
1133. - Thanks for your help.
- I'll stay on your wing, sir.
Copy !req
1134. Take it straight and steady
until we figure out what to do.
Copy !req
1135. Sir.
Copy !req
1136. You did great.
Copy !req
1137. They can't control the plane. Engines
are failing and they're losing fuel.
Copy !req
1138. There must be something we can do
to help them.
Copy !req
1139. - Is that our airstrip strike team?
- Yeah. Why?
Copy !req
1140. I just had a wild idea.
Copy !req
1141. Time is critical. Start turning north.
Copy !req
1142. - You'll get more details en route.
- Yes, sir.
Copy !req
1143. Change of orders acknowledged.
Copy !req
1144. Try to hold your heading, sir.
Copy !req
1145. They'll be rejoining from the south
in about 25 minutes.
Copy !req
1146. - All right.
- We know it's risky.
Copy !req
1147. - Understood.
- But we are all out of options.
Copy !req
1148. Yeah, baby?
Copy !req
1149. It'll be okay.
Everything's gonna work.
Copy !req
1150. Concerned Americans have gathered
at the White House...
Copy !req
1151. to await word on the president
and his family.
Copy !req
1152. But CNN has learned
that Air Force One...
Copy !req
1153. is severely crippled
and virtually unlandable.
Copy !req
1154. Sources report that the first family
is still trapped on board.
Copy !req
1155. And a daring midair rescue operation
is said to be underway.
Copy !req
1156. This is Liberty 2-4
approaching on your left side.
Copy !req
1157. - Do you read?
- Air Force One. Loud and clear.
Copy !req
1158. Gibbs, they're here. Get the door.
Copy !req
1159. We'll need 10,000 feet
and 200 knots.
Copy !req
1160. We've got
to get her to slow down now.
Copy !req
1161. Air Force One and Liberty 2-4,
this is AWACS Blue Star.
Copy !req
1162. We have you in radar contact.
Copy !req
1163. Liberty 2-4,
they're almost out of fuel.
Copy !req
1164. Roger, Blue Star.
Copy !req
1165. Air Force One,
you've got to keep the wings leveled.
Copy !req
1166. If the engines fail, sacrifice altitude
to maintain airspeed.
Copy !req
1167. Ready!
Copy !req
1168. Liberty 2-4, ramp leader.
First man is on his way.
Copy !req
1169. Back up. Easy.
Copy !req
1170. Air Force One, come left, six.
Copy !req
1171. - How's my speed?
- It's good.
Copy !req
1172. Everything's good.
See if you can hold it.
Copy !req
1173. A little more left, sir.
Three, two, stop.
Copy !req
1174. Take my arm! Pull me in!
Copy !req
1175. Come on! Come on!
Copy !req
1176. - Unhook me.
- I got it. I got it.
Copy !req
1177. Good.
Copy !req
1178. Liberty, locked in.
Where's the president?
Copy !req
1179. Up in the cockpit.
Copy !req
1180. - We just lost another engine.
- Liberty, we just lost another engine.
Copy !req
1181. Liberty 2-4. Acknowledged.
Copy !req
1182. Sir, time to go.
Copy !req
1183. - Who's gonna fly the plane?
- I'll take care of that, sir. Got it.
Copy !req
1184. Go!
Copy !req
1185. Ramp to pilot.
Second P.J.'s on the way.
Copy !req
1186. - Mr. President, this way.
- My family first.
Copy !req
1187. - Sir, I have orders to take you off.
- Them first.
Copy !req
1188. Blue Star, the third parajumper
is boarding Air Force One.
Copy !req
1189. - Standing by for recovery.
- Roger. Moving into receiver position.
Copy !req
1190. - Dad?
- You'll be all right, honey.
Copy !req
1191. - Promise?
- Promise.
Copy !req
1192. Close your eyes.
Copy !req
1193. You can do it. Just hold on tight.
Copy !req
1194. It's okay. Don't worry.
Copy !req
1195. She's okay.
Copy !req
1196. - Hang on!
- Ramp to pilot. We got her.
Copy !req
1197. I'm right behind you.
Copy !req
1198. Come on there!
Copy !req
1199. Hang on. Good.
Copy !req
1200. - You're next, sir.
- Him next. He's wounded.
Copy !req
1201. - Yes, sir.
- You go.
Copy !req
1202. Come on, Shep. Come on, pal.
Copy !req
1203. We've lost another engine.
Copy !req
1204. Air Force One,
you're sinking too fast.
Copy !req
1205. We only have time
for one more retrieval.
Copy !req
1206. We're passing 3,000 feet.
Impact in less than two minutes.
Copy !req
1207. Get the president out of there!
Copy !req
1208. Right here. Right here.
Copy !req
1209. Easy there.
Copy !req
1210. He's on.
Copy !req
1211. - Get your harness ready. It's time to go.
- What about the other team?
Copy !req
1212. There's no time for the other team.
I can only take one more.
Copy !req
1213. No! We're all going!
Copy !req
1214. That's impossible, sir.
I have to take you.
Copy !req
1215. Mr. President. It's time
to get you off this plane. Go, sir.
Copy !req
1216. Go!
Copy !req
1217. Please go!
Copy !req
1218. It was you?
Copy !req
1219. - Give me the strap!
- I trusted you with my life.
Copy !req
1220. So will the next president.
Now, give it to me.
Copy !req
1221. We have to release the cable.
We're descending from 1200 feet.
Copy !req
1222. I'm getting off this plane!
Copy !req
1223. Seven hundred.
Copy !req
1224. Five hundred.
Copy !req
1225. We have to pull up.
Copy !req
1226. Blue Star. Air Force One is down.
Copy !req
1227. I repeat. Air Force One is down.
Copy !req
1228. Liberty 2-4,
do you have the president?
Copy !req
1229. Right. You can do it.
Copy !req
1230. Liberty, do you have the president?
Copy !req
1231. Stand by.
Copy !req
1232. Hang on!
Copy !req
1233. We got him!
Copy !req
1234. Liberty 2-4 is changing call signs.
Liberty 2-4 is now Air Force One.
Copy !req
1235. Mr. President, welcome aboard, sir.
Copy !req
