0:57Thanks.
0:59Demo set. Let's move.
1:22Come around.
1:28>> [screaming]
1:32>> DC
1:34boy. Low boy. This is Black Cat.
1:36>> EJ Romeo Z1.
1:39>> We are hot. Got
1:45out there. Go. Go.
1:49Come on.
1:55Get it.
1:59Cover him. Cover. I'm on the run.
2:06>> Go.
2:16This is Loy. Package is wrapped.
2:34ladies and gentlemen,
2:37three weeks ago, Russian and American
2:40special forces
2:42apprehended the self-proclaimed leader
2:44of Kazakhstan, General Ivan Radik.
2:51The forces of Radik were directed
2:53towards the suppression of democracy.
2:56His nuclear arsenal could have brought
2:58the world into a new cold war.
3:02But thanks to the support of one of the
3:04world's greatest leaders, Rajik is now
3:07in prison.
3:13>> Today we are honoring this brave man.
3:17Ladies and gentlemen, my friend, the
3:20President of the United States of
3:22America
3:38that remember our indifference.
3:42>> That remember our silence.
3:44>> I came here tonight to be congratulated.
3:48But today when I visited the Red Cross
3:49camps, overwhelmed by the flood of
3:53refugees fleeing from the horror of
3:55Kazakhstan,
3:57I realized I don't deserve to be
3:59congratulated. None of us do.
4:01>> What's he doing?
4:02>> Let's speak the truth.
4:02>> That's not the speech.
4:04>> The truth is, we acted too late.
4:07Only when our own national security was
4:10threatened we act.
4:14Radic's regime murdered over 200,000
4:16men, women, and children. And we watched
4:19it on TV. We let it happen. People were
4:23being slaughtered for over a year. We
4:26issued economic sanctions and hid behind
4:28a rhetoric of diplomacy.
4:31How dare we? The dead remembered.
4:34Real peace is not just the absence of
4:37conflict. It's the presence of justice.
4:42Tonight, I come to you with a pledge to
4:44change America's policy. Never again
4:47will I allow our political
4:49self-interest,
4:51to deter us from doing what we know to
4:53be morally right. Atrocity and terror
4:56are not political weapons, and to those
4:58who would use them,
5:02your day is over.
5:05We will never negotiate.
5:09We will no longer tolerate it. We will
5:11no longer be afraid.
5:16It's your turn to be afraid.
5:49I get you open the
5:54>> rushing was a nice touch.
5:56>> Tell my mother she wanted me to study
5:58with Frank. You know what to do with the
5:59institute service. Yeah, I know exactly
6:01what I committed us to.
6:06>> Thank you.
6:09>> Gentlemen,
6:10welcome to Air Force One. Please present
6:13your equipment for inspection.
6:15>> We were just inspected at the gate.
6:16>> Sir, this plane carries the president of
6:18the United States. Although I'm terribly
6:21sorry, partially.
6:23>> Please place your thumb on the ID pad.
6:28Access
6:35cleared.
6:53Hello there. I'm Melanie Mitchell,
6:54deputy press secretary. I'll be taking
6:56you in from here.
6:57>> Miss Mitchell, it is so nice to finally
6:59meet you in person.
7:00>> The president and I were delighted we
7:02could accommodate your news crew. So, if
7:04uh you boys are all clear now, you know,
7:07the president's on a very tight
7:08schedule, so this is how it works.
7:10During the flight, two members of your
7:12crew will be allowed outside the press
7:13area for filming. You'll get exactly 10
7:15minutes with the president, 20 with the
7:17crew.
7:23>> Listen, Gary, the president is ready to
7:25take Congress on. He's not going to kiss
7:27their ass for each vote. Let him vote us
7:29down and stand on their record. Yeah,
7:32I'm with him now. I'll call you from the
7:33plane.
7:34>> What do they say about the speech?
7:36>> Your speech is leading the news. They're
7:38already calling it the be afraid speech.
7:40>> Good. With all due respect, sir, next
7:42time you want to make a major policy
7:44departure, you might want to discuss it
7:45with your national security adviser
7:47first.
7:49>> We did discuss it, Jack.
7:50>> We discussed it in private, which is
7:52where I thought it would remain.
7:54>> Well, now it's public. Now it's policy.
7:58Get behind it. The allies are going to
8:00be very upset they weren't consulted
8:01about this.
8:02>> They might come back and bite us in the
8:03ass in November.
8:05>> It's the right thing to do and you know
8:08it.
8:10There goes the neighborhood.
8:13>> If you'd like, I think we have time for
8:14a quick tour.
8:16>> Would be delightful.
8:17>> Good.
8:20>> Follow me.
8:22>> Ahead of the staff having secret service
8:24right here. Don't ever try to go past
8:26them without an escort. And we're very
8:28sorry.
8:29>> Hello.
8:29>> Hello. Hi.
8:31>> Thanks for the order.
8:34>> And here we have our inflight offices.
9:02A lot of the plane's features are
9:03classified, but I can tell you that it's
9:05bullet resistant and that it's even
9:07protected against the pulse of a nuclear
9:09blast.
9:10>> I'm not sure that's very comforting.
9:14Upstairs is the cockpit along with the
9:16most advanced communication center on or
9:18above the face of the Earth. We could
9:21run the whole country from here or even
9:23a war if we had to. Just last week, the
9:25president called the shuttle astronauts.
9:27Want to come up there,
9:28>> Melanie?
9:28>> Yes.
9:28>> President's arriving. They should all
9:30take their seats
9:31>> right away. I'll get out of here and let
9:33you all get some sleep.
9:50Mr. President, welcome aboard, sir.
9:52>> Hey, Danny. How are you,
9:53>> Mr. President?

10:26guys together.

10:37out politically.
10:38>> What was that?
10:39>> Oh, it's not so important.
10:40>> It's damage control. Now, what if
10:41>> Give me a minute alone, will you?
10:42>> What if a quote highranking White House
10:44official?
10:45>> Just give me a few moments.
10:46>> A quote highranking White House official
10:48unquote would have qualified what you
10:50said last night. Leak Washington Post.
10:51>> Drop it. Do yourself a favor. It's
10:53policy. Drop it or find yourself another
10:55ride home.
10:56>> Mr. President, the Russian news crew is
10:57with us. I told him you give him a sound
10:58bite about life in the White House.
11:00>> There is no life in the White House.
11:02>> You said it. President needs some time.
11:07141 13 Michigan. All right, Mr.
11:10President.
11:14>> That wasn't you napping during the
11:16performance, was it, Tom?

11:20>> Come on, Alice. You can finish it on the
11:21plane. Let's not keep your father
11:22waiting. Let's try and smile. Sweet
11:25mother.

12:54secure.
12:59Got your whole life to live, baby. You
13:01don't need to see that kind of stuff.
13:04>> Come on, Dad. It's not like I don't see

13:40Okay. Bye-bye.
13:44>> Well, she couldn't stay your little girl
13:46forever, Jim. Well, I was hoping it
13:48would last till she was 14 or 15 or
13:5250. [clears throat]
13:56>> They hated your speech, didn't they?
13:58>> They're afraid we won't have the guts to
14:00back it up. But if we do, it'll be
14:02political suicide.

27:56>> No, you listen to me.
27:59I don't know who you are or what you
28:01want,
28:03but you will never get it. He will not

28:10really.
28:12His wife,
28:14his daughter,
28:16a man could not live with himself
28:20and it would be such bad politics.
28:30I think you'll negotiate.

31:09Force One. The world's most secure
31:12aircraft.
31:15>> What is it that you want?
31:18>> We'll get to that.
31:22>> I would like to speak to the first lady.
31:24>> No. No. Why? I need to know that they're
31:28safe. The
31:29>> president is safe. But then you must
31:32know that he ran from here like a weak
31:35dog.
31:37>> I'm sure you can't wait for him to get
31:39back to making the decisions so you can
31:42stop sweating through that s blouse of
31:45yours.
31:49>> What is the condition of the people on
31:51board?
31:53>> Sad.
31:56What are your intentions?
31:58>> What arrogance [clears throat]
31:59to think you could ever understand my
32:02intentions.
32:03>> I want to understand what it is that you
32:06want.
32:07>> What do I want?
32:09When mother Russia becomes one great
32:13nation again.
32:15When the capitalists are dragged from
32:18the Kremlin and shot in the street.
32:22When our errors run and hide in fear at
32:26the mention of our name and America begs
32:30our forgiveness
32:32on that great day of deliverance,
32:37you will know what I want.
32:41>> We can give you a forum for your
32:43grievances. We can contact the Russian
32:46government, but you must understand that
32:47it will take some time.
32:49>> Oh, really? But when you talk to the
32:51president, you might remind him that I
32:54am holding his wife, his daughter, his
32:56chief of staff, his national security
32:58advisor, his classified papers, and his
33:01baseball glove.
33:04If he wants them back, he will prevail
33:07upon the puppet regime in Moscow
33:10>> to release General Radic.
33:1350 for one.
33:15>> So, good deal.
33:17How's your blouse?
33:21What assurances do I have that you'll
33:23keep your word?
33:25>> I'll wait for confirmation that General
33:27Rad has been released.
33:30Until then,
33:34I will execute a hostage every half an
33:36hour.
33:40You have my word.
33:44>> You must understand that we Hello.
33:47>> They're off. immediately
33:52language expert.
33:53>> God damn it. Nobody does this to the
33:55United States.
33:57>> President will get back his baseball
33:58glove and play catch with this guy's
34:00balls.
34:00>> We can't do anything in a half an hour.
34:02We need more time.
34:03>> He's a zealot. Tough to negotiate with.
34:05All you can do is wear them down.
34:07>> Mr. Secretary.
34:09>> Secretary.
34:17>> We found the escape pod.
34:19>> It's empty.
34:25>> So, where's the president?
34:30I think we have to acknowledge the
34:33possibility that the president
34:36>> may be dead.
34:40>> Why wouldn't they tell us?
34:44>> Diversion trying to buy some time. Could
34:48have happened in a crossfire and they're
34:50afraid we'll retaliate.
34:51>> Damn right we'll retaliate. We'll
34:52release General Reic into the goddamn
34:54atmosphere.
34:54>> It doesn't add up. That terrorist knew
34:56that we'd recover the pod in short
34:58order. He expected that we'd be talking
35:00to Marshall.
35:01>> Let's not bury him yet. He could still
35:02be alive in that plane. Let's not forget
35:05this president is a Medal of Honor
35:06winner. In Vietnam, he flew more
35:08helicopter rescue missions than any
35:09other man in my command. He knows how to
35:12fight.
35:12>> Then he's taking a terrible chance with
35:14his life.
35:15>> The element of surprise is a formidable
35:17advantage in combat. If he's up there,
35:20he's the best chance that we have.
35:22>> That pod was designed for a reason,
35:24General. He has no right to take chances
35:26with his life.
36:44Never mind.
37:32What does the psych profile say? How far
37:33do they say he'll go?
37:34>> He's a radic loyalist. That tells us all
37:37we need to know, doesn't it?
37:38>> You'll see this thing through to the
37:40last hostage or his own death.
37:41>> You release this bastard and all of
37:43Central Asia will go up in flanks.
37:44>> I'm well aware of that.
37:46>> Bring back the old Soviet empire under a
37:47flag of genocide. radic with a nuclear
37:50arsenal.
37:52>> I hate to say this, but 50 people is a
37:55small price to pay to stop that from
37:56happening.
37:57>> Even if one of them is the president,
37:59>> the presidency is bigger than any one
38:00man. Didn't they teach you that at Yale?
38:02>> Can't we release him today and pick up
38:04the pieces tomorrow? You caught him
38:06before we catch him again.
38:08>> If Petro releases Radic, his government
38:10will fall. I promise you that. Then
38:12who's going to stand up to Radic? You go
38:14to catch him again, you're going to find
38:15him in Moscow.
38:17>> With all respect, Mr. Secretary, we
38:19don't need more dramatics. We need
38:20options.
38:21>> It's not an option.
38:22>> We need a decision.
38:23>> It's not her decision.
38:24>> No.
38:25>> This is a military situation. I'm the
38:27secretary of defense. Check your regs.
38:29In the absence of the president, the
38:30buck stops here.
38:31>> Get the attorney general to copy the
38:33Constitution. We have
38:35>> Oh my god. 19 minutes.
38:38>> I'm going to consult with President
38:40Petro.
38:54>> [screaming]
38:56>> Donald
39:13The
39:19other day
39:57I'm sorry I could not release him.
39:59>> We would train all our military might
40:01against this one target. I assure you he
40:04wouldn't stay at large for long.
40:05>> Maybe so, but millions of lives are
40:07hanging in the balance. I am trying to
40:09save a nation.
40:10>> As am I. No nation can easily survive
40:13the loss of nor soon replace a great
40:15leader.
40:16>> Now, let us be pragmatic. 50 lives means
40:18nothing in the grand scheme.
40:20>> Well, then let me be equally pragmatic.
40:22Our president took a great risk to come
40:24to your aid against strong opposition in
40:26both parties and among our allies. It
40:28would be politically impossible to do so
40:29again.
40:30>> If it meant saving his life, I would
40:32gladly do it.
40:33>> But I would have to know for sure. And
40:35you cannot tell me he's alive, can you?
40:38No, Mr. President. I cannot.
40:40>> Then there is nothing I can do. I am
40:42truly sorry. Goodbye.
40:48>> Okay, Walter, you and your generals get
40:50to work.
41:00Sure.
41:12I've got a song in it.
41:36Okay. They can't keep the plane in the
41:39air indefinitely. There are only four
41:41possible landing sites in Kazakhstan
41:42that are still controlled by Radics
41:44forces. We have to go in and take all of
41:46them. Can we do it?
41:48>> I've got to take my chances in the air.
41:50>> No, I just looked at the airborne
41:51scenarios. They're no good. Can we do
41:53this?
41:54>> In the time we have, Messi,
41:56>> three more minutes before they execute
41:58the first hostage.
41:59>> You have to buy us some more time.
42:01>> All right.
42:40You both come home.
42:46[screaming]
43:03They would transfer the call here.
43:07So,
43:09let's just wait.
43:18Excuse me.
43:22Sir, if you will permit me, I am the
43:23national security adviser at the White
43:25House. I'm the man the president would
43:26be listening to. I believe that you are
43:28negotiating right now with the vice
43:30president. Unfortunately, in our system
43:32of government, the vice president is
43:33like the queen of England. You can't
43:35even get airline tickets without talking
43:37to somebody like me. Therefore, let me
43:39speak to the White House because I
43:41promise you, I'm the one person who can
43:43make this all work out.
43:51Has he been released?
43:53>> I've contacted the Russian government.
43:55We set things in motion, but at this
43:57point, we have to be realistic. It's
44:00going to take more time.
44:02>> More time.
44:05[screaming]
44:10>> Your national security advisor has been
44:12executed.
44:14He's a very good negotiator.
44:17He bought you another half hour.
44:19>> It's the first time you ever seen a man
44:21killed. Huh?
44:25>> You think I'm a monster
44:28that I would kill this man? Somebody's
44:32son.
44:34Somebody's father.
44:38I am somebody's son, too.
44:41I have three small children.
44:45Does it surprise you?
44:51>> Tell her to answer.
44:53>> You leave her alone.
44:54>> Shut up.
45:00>> Why did you kill him?
45:03>> Because I believe
45:07I shook this man I know in that instant.
45:11How deep my belief
45:14that I would turn my back on God himself
45:19for mother Russia.
45:23My doubts, my fears,
45:25my own [clears throat] private morality,
45:29it dissolve in this moment
45:33for this love.
45:38You know your father, he has also killed
45:42Is he a bad man?
45:44>> That's not true.
45:45>> Why?
45:47Because he does it in a tuxedo with a
45:49telephone call and a smart bomb.
45:54>> You are a monster
45:56and my father is a great man.
46:00You're nothing like my father.
46:38What city, please?
46:40>> Washington, DC, please. The White House.
46:42>> Just a moment. Here's the number.
46:44>> Can you connect me to that number?
46:45>> There's a connect fee of $1, sir.
46:47>> Fine.
47:03White House switch forward. How may I
47:04direct your call?
47:06>> All right. Listen. Listen carefully.
47:09This is an emergency call from Air Force
47:11One. This is the president. Connect me
47:13to the vice president, please.
47:14>> Who did you say is calling?
47:19>> This is the president. Yeah, right. And
47:22I'm the first lady.
47:23>> Don't cut me off. This is an emergency.
47:25>> Sir, president doesn't call this
47:27particular phone number. So, whoever you
47:29are,
47:30>> trace the call. Follow [snorts] your
47:32standards security procedure
47:36and trace the goddamn call.
47:38>> Okay, sir. You want to make a federal
47:40case out of this? Fine by me.
47:52Is there anyone there? Don't move.
47:56>> I traced the call. Sir,
47:57>> give me the gun.
47:58>> Are you there?
47:59>> Very slowly.
48:01>> Oh my god.
48:03>> I'll put you right through, Mr.
48:04President.
48:10>> Go.
48:11>> The switchwood has a call from someone
48:12claiming to be the president. She traced
48:14it back to the White House satellite
48:16account. Our call is gone, but the line
48:18is still active.
48:19>> Put it through.
48:22>> Listen to me.
48:24Listen to me. You know who I am. I'm the
48:28president of the United States.
48:32>> Don't think that means I don't shoot
48:33you.
48:34>> Put your hands behind your head and
48:35move.
48:45It's your lucky day. What more can my
48:48people do? Tell the F-15s to fire at the
48:50plane. Even if they try, we're equipped
48:52with tactical counter measures.
48:53>> Stupid.
48:54>> What are you telling me? What do you
48:55mean?
48:56>> I just want you to feel secure that way.
48:57No one will get hurt. The computer will
48:59fly circles around. Any missile they
49:01fire at us. And no hit, just a shock
49:03wave.
49:03>> He's telling us what to do.
49:05>> Believe me, all that would happen is
49:07we'd get knocked off our feet. That's
49:08all. Shut up. God damn it.
49:11>> God.
49:13>> Is he saying what I think he's saying?
49:14>> If we're going to act, we have to act
49:16now.
49:16>> It's too risky.
49:17>> The president is up there with a gun to
49:18his head.
49:19>> He's asking us to do that to Air Force
49:22One.
49:22>> He's not asking. Your commander-in-chief
49:24has issued a direct order. Do it.
49:28>> Let me take the man.
49:32>> Sir, are you sure that's what you want
49:33me to do?
49:34>> You heard me, Carl. And let's pray it
49:37works the way it's supposed to. Okay,
49:39boys. Give me some rope. I've just been
49:41ordered to fire on Air Force One.
49:56>> I'm in position.
49:59Missiles are armed.
50:04>> Target is acquired. I have a good luck.
50:06[music]
50:08God, I hope this works.
50:10Fox 3.
50:41computer.
51:02It's not
51:09Stop.
51:20Come on.
51:34Oh,
51:36[screaming]
51:44[groaning]
52:08This is Marshall.
52:10>> Anyone there?
52:11>> We're here, Mr. President.
52:12>> Where's my family? Are they safe?
52:14>> Well, the terrorists claim they're
52:15holding them. We can't confirm.
52:17>> Who are they?
52:19What do they want?
52:20>> They're Russian ultraist radicals. They
52:22want General Radic released from prison.
52:24>> Radic?
52:27>> What are our tactical options?
52:28>> We're working on that, Mr. President,
52:30but the bastards do have us in a corner.
52:32There is no rescue attempt.
52:33>> I ruled out a midair rescue. There's
52:35nothing we can do while the plane is
52:36still in the air.
52:37>> And we got to get this plane on the
52:38ground. Take me off that goddamn speaker
52:40phone.
52:41>> Where's Bennis?
52:42>> Mr. President,
52:44>> we cannot release Radic.
52:46>> They're going to shoot a hostage every
52:48half hour until we do. I don't want a
52:50plane full of dead people.
52:53>> Jim, they shot Jack Dowardy.
52:57>> Oh, Christ.
52:59Catherine, we can't give into their
53:00demands. It won't end there.
53:03>> And if you die in that plane, does it
53:04end there?
53:05>> Catherine, we've got a job to do.
53:08Whatever the cost.
53:09>> Mr. President,
53:10>> Catherine,
53:13if you give a house a cookie,
53:17>> he's going to want a glass of milk.
53:20We got to get this plane on the ground.
53:35Yeah,
54:24on the ground.
54:46There's not Thank you. It's so
55:48I thought I'd ask you to come and join
55:49us.
55:51>> It's starting to feel a little empty up
55:53here.
55:56>> Sit down, please.
56:05Go.
56:21>> Tell me your name again
56:24for the record.
56:30Melanie Mitchell,
56:33>> you travel often with the president.
56:38>> Yes.
56:39>> So you you know everyone on the plane.
56:45>> Yes.
56:48I bet they like you.
56:51You're a nice person. Yes.
56:56Okay.
56:58I guess so.
57:14[clears throat]
57:16[gasps]
57:18You are friendly.
57:21Why are you afraid?
57:24Because
57:26I don't want to die.
57:29I don't want [laughter] to die.
57:32>> Tell me,
57:34what am I doing at this moment?
57:38>> You're pointing a gun at me.
57:42>> Thank you, Melody.
57:44>> This is to the Secret Service agent in
57:47the baggage deck.
57:49>> I will count to 10.
57:51And if you do not surrender, this nice
57:54woman will die.
57:56>> Oh no.
57:58>> One, please.
58:00>> Two.
58:01>> Don't do this.
58:03>> No.
58:03>> Three.
58:04>> Let me talk to him.
58:06>> Four.
58:07>> I beg you. Please.
58:08>> Five.
58:09>> Let me talk to the agent.
58:11>> Six.
58:12>> He might listen to me.
58:15>> Seven.
58:15>> Please, I beg you, don't do this.
58:17>> Eight.
58:18>> Don't do this.
58:20>> Nine.
58:42Let's just think about that one for a
58:44moment
58:46>> and then we'll start again
58:49next time.
58:51I'll choose someone more important.
59:14>> I know what you're thinking. First lady,
59:18>> you want me dead.
59:20Let me come to that. In a war, people
59:23die.
59:24>> This isn't war.
59:27You just murdered an unarmed woman.
59:30>> You murdered a 100,000 Iraqis to save a
59:32nickel of gallon of gas. Are going to
59:34lecture me about the rose of war.
59:38Don't.
59:41>> Mr. President, how can I help you?
59:43>> Chief, you got to help me dump some
59:45fuel.
59:47Who's down there on the baggage deck?
59:49>> The Russians said it was a Secret
59:50Service agent. Who?
59:51>> We have no idea, sir.
59:52>> Melanie was shot because one of your men
59:54wouldn't show himself. I want to know
59:55who this son of a is.
59:56>> Like to know what?
59:58>> It's someone who's smart enough to know
1:00:00if you're hunting with one bullet, you
1:00:02wait for a clean shot.
1:00:03>> What are you saying, Major?
1:00:05>> I'm saying, sir, whoever that is down
1:00:07there, he may be our only hope.
1:00:09>> Our only hope is that Washington
1:00:11complies with this bastard. Cuz any
1:00:13minute now, another one of us is dead.
1:00:17You know what?
1:00:20I'm afraid it might be me.
1:00:27>> Sir, do you see the maintenance panel?
1:00:28>> Yeah, I see it. Pop it open. There
1:00:30should be a red switch. Toggle it up.
1:00:33>> Hang on.
1:00:37>> Okay, we got some indicator lights here.
1:00:39>> To dump the fuel, you have to close the
1:00:40circuit for the pump. There's no switch,
1:00:43Mr. resident. So, you'll have to cross
1:00:44the wires.
1:00:46>> Open the fuel control door in here.
1:00:51>> There should be five of them.
1:00:53>> See them, sir?
1:00:54>> See them? Yeah. Jesus. Lot of goddamn
1:00:57wires. All right.
1:00:59All right. We got five. Green, yellow,
1:01:03red, white, and blue.
1:01:04>> Okay, just hang on. Let me double check
1:01:06something.
1:01:06>> Come on, man. For Christ's sake, hurry
1:01:08up,
1:01:08>> sir. If you get the wrong wire, you'll
1:01:09cut the engine feeds and the plane will
1:01:11crash. We don't want to get the wrong
1:01:13wire, do we?
1:01:14>> First, cut the green wire.
1:01:16>> Green wire. Okay. Great.
1:01:20Okay. Cut.
1:01:22>> And then cross the the
1:01:25>> with the with the what? Hello. Cross it
1:01:29with what? Say again. Cross the green
1:01:31wire with the with the
1:01:41Green, yellow, red, white, blue. Cross
1:01:46green.
1:01:49I'm counting on your red, white, and
1:01:50blue.
1:02:10Sir, it looks like Air Force One is
1:02:12losing fuel.
1:02:25>> [snorts]
1:02:32>> It's okay.
1:02:34Nice.
1:03:02What's up? [screaming]
1:03:10[screaming]
1:03:22No, mother.
1:03:42Nice.
1:03:57>> Madame Vice President, the time has come
1:03:59for you to demonstrate your good faith.
1:04:02I've been reading through your press
1:04:03kit. I understand Air Force One is able
1:04:07to refuel in midair,
1:04:10but we need fuel and we need it now.
1:04:14>> I'm sure we can come to some sort of
1:04:16arrangement.
1:04:18If you land the plane, we'll trade fuel
1:04:20for hostages.
1:04:21>> This is
1:04:23It's simple physics. Without fuel, the
1:04:25plane crashes.
1:04:27Everybody dies.
1:04:28>> We're trying to do everything that we
1:04:30can. Tell me what I want to hear or I
1:04:33will execute a member of the senior
1:04:34staff and continue killing one hostage
1:04:37every minute until the plane crash or
1:04:41refueling plan. All right.
1:04:47>> Well, what do you say?
1:04:51>> Fuel's on its way.
1:04:53>> Thank you.
1:05:00for your visa.
1:05:04Hello
1:05:48God, what are you doing?
1:05:49>> I never left.
1:05:53Kids,
1:05:57>> what's the door?
1:06:00>> Where's my family?
1:06:01>> They took him to another part of the
1:06:02plane. We haven't seen them since.
1:06:03>> Got weapons now. We should try to retake
1:06:05the planes.
1:06:05>> No. Well, they've got Grace and Alice. I
1:06:07can't take that chance.
1:06:08>> What about trying to disable a plane and
1:06:09force them to land?
1:06:11>> I tried to do that. I dump some of fuel.
1:06:12Now they're going to refuel us in
1:06:14midair.
1:06:14>> A refueling tanker.
1:06:16>> Jesus. Sir,
1:06:19>> there may be a way to get these people
1:06:21off the plane. What do you mean?
1:06:23>> We have emergency parachutes in the tail
1:06:25cone, but we're too high. If we could
1:06:27somehow get a message to the refueling
1:06:29tanker getting to drop to 15,000 ft, we
1:06:32could jump.
1:06:32>> They disabled phones and controller
1:06:34radios.
1:06:34>> No, m Mr. President. Sir, the fax
1:06:38machines
1:06:39>> told you the phone lines are out.
1:06:40>> No, voice lines and faxes are on two
1:06:43different systems of encryption. You
1:06:45disable one, be very easy to overlook
1:06:47the other.
1:06:51This works. You get to be postmaster
1:06:53general. Come with me. These people
1:06:55ready to go.
1:06:56>> Listen, sir. Remember, 15,000 ft. 200
1:06:58knots. Otherwise, it's suicide.
1:07:17>> Where was India? situation over.
1:07:21It
1:07:21>> makes me so proud, Mr. President, that
1:07:22you stuck with us.
1:07:25>> Thanks.
1:07:26>> Whatever happens,
1:08:04No, no, slow.
1:08:16Mad vice president,
1:08:18>> attorney general.
1:08:23>> Thank you for coming, Andrew.
1:08:24>> Hello, Catherine.
1:08:27>> I'm told that you want my interpretation
1:08:29as to what the Constitution says about
1:08:30this situation.
1:08:31>> Yes. No, Andrew. My understanding is
1:08:34that if the president is out of contact
1:08:36in a military situation, the secretary
1:08:38of defense is in charge as second in
1:08:39command.
1:08:40>> Yes, of course.
1:08:41>> Good. And that settles it.
1:08:43>> It doesn't settle it at all. The
1:08:44president is not merely out of contact.
1:08:47He is also under juress. His family is
1:08:50held hostage, possibly himself a
1:08:52hostage. It creates an incapacity to
1:08:54discharge the office under the 25th
1:08:56amendment. Surely just as if he'd had a
1:08:59stroke. I think the president would
1:09:01dispute that any incapacity exists.
1:09:03>> It exists if a majority of the cabinet,
1:09:05including yourself, says it exists.
1:09:08>> President may be alive, but he may not
1:09:11be the president.
1:09:12>> Madam, Vice President, I think you need
1:09:14to see this.
1:09:15>> Breaking news.
1:09:19>> We interrupt programming to bring you
1:09:21this breaking news bulletin. CNN has
1:09:24received unconfirmed reports that Air
1:09:27Force One has crashed. The presidential
1:09:30aircraft was on route from Moscow when
1:09:32it began its Mayday hail. I repeat, we
1:09:36have unconfirmed
1:09:37>> call the press room. We have to issue
1:09:39the president's plane has eastern
1:09:41Europe. This is an earthquake.
1:10:11>> That's it.
1:10:13Bruce, the Air Force One crashed. Look,
1:10:16>> as far as I know, that is a rumor.
1:10:18>> I don't know where that story came from.
1:10:21>> Listen, listen. I cannot confirm
1:10:24anything at this point.
1:10:31>> Ladies and gentlemen, I have a
1:10:33statement.
1:10:37The president's plane, Air Force One,
1:10:40has been hijacked.
1:10:44Please,
1:10:46>> ladies and gentlemen, please let me
1:10:47finish.
1:10:49For security reasons, I cannot divulge
1:10:51the identity of the hijackers or who was
1:10:54on board the plane. But I am here to
1:10:57assure the American people that we are
1:10:59doing everything we can to resolve the
1:11:01situation
1:11:04>> for the safety of all the people on the
1:11:06plane. I cannot tell you any more than I
1:11:08already have. I'm sure you understand
1:11:10that.
1:11:10>> Is James Marshall still the president?
1:11:12>> I am coordinating with the National
1:11:14Security Council at the White House
1:11:16pending the president's return. And yes,
1:11:18James Marshall is still the president
1:11:22>> at this time.
1:11:25At this time, I would like to ask all
1:11:28Americans
1:11:33to pray for the safety of everyone on
1:11:35board Air Force One. Thank you.
1:11:51>> Where is the president?
1:12:02I'll be done.
1:12:36Folks, listen up. Listen up. This is
1:12:39your main rip court. As soon as you
1:12:41clear the plane, give it a yank. If your
1:12:43chute doesn't open, this is the
1:12:44lollipop, your reserve shoot. Pull it
1:12:46down. Clear.
1:13:10Air Force One. Air Force One, do you
1:13:12read?
1:13:13>> Yes, Wait.

1:13:22>> Drop to 15,000 ft and slow to 200 knots.
1:13:27Acknowledged. 200.
1:13:36>> Sir, your shoot.
1:13:38>> No. No.
1:13:39>> Oh, please. Sir,
1:13:40>> I'm not leaving without my family.
1:13:44>> Okay, Air Force One, you need to open
1:13:45your receptacle door. Pull the yellow
1:13:47lever on the upper control panel.
1:13:51>> Done.
1:13:52>> Go ahead and close distance. Nice and
1:13:54easy.
1:13:58Almost there.
1:14:02[clears throat] Where your shoots, guys?
1:14:04We stay with the president, sir.
1:14:08>> Thank you.
1:14:16That's close enough. Here we go.
1:14:29Come on. Come on.
1:14:33>> Go.
1:14:34>> You come on.
1:14:40[snorts]
1:15:00Come on, let's go. Come on.
1:15:08You're going to rot.
1:15:12>> We've got Okay, so far 25 shoots.
1:15:31>> [screaming]
1:15:36>> It's not anymore.
1:15:39>> I can't help her.

1:16:14No,
1:16:24>> don't move. Let me save him. He's a
1:16:28president for God's sake.
1:16:30>> Go get him.
1:16:40>> Grab my hand.
1:16:49I got you.
1:17:05We've lost the tanker. What else?
1:17:07They're counting 32 survivors.
1:17:09>> That means they still have hostages.
1:17:11What about the first film?
1:17:12>> No word yet.
1:17:13>> Losing hostages will make the terrorists
1:17:14even more desperate.
1:17:15>> Madam Vice President, get Air Force One
1:17:17on the line.
1:17:19>> This is Vice President Bennett.
1:17:21>> We're listening.
1:17:23>> I now hold hostage the president of the
1:17:26United States of America.
1:17:29Soon we shall enter the sovereign space
1:17:32of Kazakhstan.
1:17:35>> You will cease your military escort at
1:17:38the border.
1:17:40If you violate our airspace,
1:17:42>> I will execute a member of the first
1:17:44family.
1:17:47>> Tell our fighters to back off.
1:17:52>> Get me off.
1:17:56You said a presidential incapacity could
1:17:58be declared by the majority of the
1:17:59cabinet. Would you sign it
1:18:01>> under the circumstances?
1:18:03>> See who else would.
1:18:15Come on.
1:18:25>> Oh,
1:18:27[snorts]
1:18:28we'll be all right. Be all right.
1:18:54You've been very busy downstairs,
1:18:57haven't you?
1:19:00Killing my men.
1:19:21No,
1:19:22>> you don't want to do this.
1:19:26How much you came for?
1:19:28Don't forget this.
1:19:30>> Then I killed them.
1:19:32I just won you. Pink.
1:19:36That's what you do in the White House.
1:19:38You play God.
1:19:47>> Go ahead.
1:19:49Which one lives?
1:20:03You're not here for this. [snorts]
1:20:06You want something.
1:20:09What is it?
1:20:11Radic. How can I do that? I can't do
1:20:14that.
1:20:14>> Then you die. The three of you.
1:20:16>> I'll do anything to save my family.
1:20:17Don't ask me for something I can't give.
1:20:19>> The most powerful man on the earth. And
1:20:20now certainly there are things you
1:20:22cannot do. This is very curious. Stop
1:20:25with your eyes. Go.
1:20:37The trouble will never give up radic.
1:20:42That's what you tell him.
1:20:47[gasps]
1:20:48Tell him to do this.
1:20:51Refuse me.
1:20:53I just wanted to stop the bloodshed. He
1:20:56wanted a personal victory.
1:20:58Dr. hates radic.
1:20:59>> Of course he hates radic. Ratic [snorts]
1:21:01is everything he is about. A great man.
1:21:04He's a strong man. Are you saying
1:21:09he would refuse you? You'd be playing
1:21:11right into his hands. Are you an idiot?
1:21:15You'd make him into a hero. The man will
1:21:18stop the terrorists. [snorts] Or better
1:21:20yet, the man will stop me.
1:21:24You talk as if you have nothing to do
1:21:26with this.
1:21:29This is all you're doing.
1:21:33This infection you call freedom without
1:21:37meaning, without purpose.
1:21:39You have given my country to gangsters
1:21:42and prostitutes.
1:21:44[panting]
1:21:45[gasps] You have taken everything from
1:21:48us.
1:21:52There's nothing left.
1:22:21No,
1:22:25No, I have no choice.
1:22:29>> You have the choice. Leave her alone
1:22:31between you and me. You lose a child, it
1:22:34hollows you out. We're soldiers.
1:22:38You take my life.
1:22:42Have you no honor?
1:22:44I'll count to five.
1:22:45>> No.
1:22:46>> It's going to be all right. One. It's
1:22:49going to be all right. Two. I'll do it.
1:22:55I'll do it.
1:23:01You just leave my family alone.
1:23:22motion.
1:23:37Mr. President,

1:23:43called Bedrock and asked him to release
1:23:45Rad.
1:23:47>> He can't do that.
1:23:48>> You must have no choice.
1:23:49>> We have a choice.
1:23:51>> I have the signatures of the majority of
1:23:53the cabinet attesting to the president's
1:23:55incapacity. Sign it and you can overrule
1:23:57them.
1:23:57>> No, I I won't do that.
1:24:00>> The United States does not negotiate
1:24:01with terrorists. Been our bedrock
1:24:04principle for 25 years. You can't give
1:24:06in to them now. It'll be open season on
1:24:08the United States. Many more will die.
1:24:12Jim isn't making this decision as a
1:24:14president. He's making it as a husband
1:24:16and a father.
1:24:21>> History will judge you by what you do
1:24:22right now, Catherine. For God's sake,
1:24:24sign it.
1:24:36No.
1:25:04I can now confirm that General Radic is
1:25:07in the process of being released.

1:25:43disconfirmed.
1:25:47>> They're releasing the general.
1:25:51Now what?
1:25:52>> Now we return to our homeland.
1:25:55My brother will decide how best to use
1:25:57you. And now that we know you are
1:26:00willing to negotiate,
1:26:03our nation needs so many things.
1:26:06>> You said you were going to release us.
1:26:08>> Forgive me. I lied.
1:26:31song.
1:26:39Listen
1:26:47[chanting]
1:27:01to it.

1:28:19[screaming]
1:28:30>> Sir, are you hit?
1:28:32>> Stay with Major, honey. Al, get in the
1:28:34cockpit. Go. Come on. Lie down.
1:28:37>> Race.
1:28:58You didn't look at that.
1:29:06>> Let it go.
1:29:07>> Not until Radic is safely away.
1:29:11>> Call it off. Don't give up, Radic.
1:29:14>> If anything happens to the general, your
1:29:16wife will die. [screaming]
1:29:31You hear that?
1:29:33It's almost over, Mr. President.
1:29:46Drop
1:30:10the gun.
1:30:16the car.
1:30:22If you make one mistake
1:30:24when you killed my pilot, Mr. President,
1:30:28no one left to fly
1:30:34and no part of you.
1:30:39Whatever happens,
1:30:42you lose and I win.
1:30:57I'm sick.

1:33:29>> Yes, Mr. President. We have retaken the
1:33:32plane. [screaming]
1:33:42How's he doing?
1:33:43>> Not good, sir.
1:33:46>> I suppose you know how to fly.
1:33:48>> No, sir.
1:33:48>> I'm a long day. I'll need a co-pilot.
1:33:50>> Yes, sir.
1:33:53>> How long since you've flown, sir?
1:33:55>> 25 years. Little planes. Never jets.
1:34:01Nothing like [clears throat] this.
1:34:02Anybody there?
1:34:04>> Yes, we're here, sir.
1:34:05>> All right. You got somebody to help me
1:34:06fly this thing?
1:34:07>> Sir, this is Colonel Jackson.
1:34:08>> Bob,
1:34:09>> we need to get you out of hostile
1:34:10territory.
1:34:11>> Good idea, Bob.
1:34:12>> I need for you to look above the central
1:34:14video screen. There's a series of LED
1:34:17numbers. Now, one of them should read 1.
1:34:20>> Got it.
1:34:20>> That's your course heading.
1:34:22>> Now, just below there's a knob
1:34:23surrounded by hash marks. I want you to
1:34:25turn that knob counterclockwise to 2
1:34:28niner 0.
1:34:29>> 2 ner 0.

1:34:36>> This course will take you out of
1:34:37Kazakhstan.
1:34:38>> Okay.
1:34:39>> Now, sir, we can't land this plane on
1:34:41autopilot. So, we're going to need to go
1:34:43over a few things.
1:34:44>> First, let's plan.
1:34:45>> Where's the nearest safe landing site?
1:34:48>> Intellect Turkey.
1:34:51>> General. Madam,

1:35:00One.
1:35:00>> Christ. They took off from Actabinsk.

1:35:06>> General,
1:35:07>> send our fighters into Kazakhstan.
1:35:10>> Order them to use any and all means to
1:35:11protect the president.

1:35:16>> Right.
1:35:16>> Mr. President, can you hear me?
1:35:18>> Yes, Catherine.
1:35:19>> We're tracking six MiGs closing on your

1:35:34>> Guys, these get closer. I'm going to
1:35:36have to maneuver this thing. How do I
1:35:39get it off autopilot?
1:35:41>> Push the button on the yolk by your left
1:35:43thumb.
1:35:44>> Try a little uh right turn.
1:35:46>> Just keep your moves smooth and steady.
1:35:48It's all flying, sir.
1:35:49>> Just
1:35:51a little.
1:35:52>> That's right. Just like riding a bike.
1:35:54>> Halo flight. We are cleared to commit.
1:35:56Preparing 090 jettison tanks and push it
1:36:00up.
1:36:06>> These MIGs, how far away are they?
1:36:12>> Never mind. [snorts]
1:36:26>> [snorts]
1:36:31>> We've got one coming at us. Counter
1:36:33measures are activated.
1:36:34>> Let's turn.
1:36:40>> Jesus Christ.
1:36:41>> We need some help here.
1:36:43>> US fighters, this is Air Force One. We
1:36:45are under attack. Where the hell are
1:36:46you?
1:36:47>> Air Force One, this is Halo Flight.

1:37:18I pull back a number one engine.
1:37:20>> Hang it. You slow down. We'll have to
1:37:22trim it out.
1:37:22>> How do I do that?
1:37:23>> Now, a pedestal.
1:37:25>> Jesus Christ.

1:38:28>> Missile way. Break left and climb.
1:38:30Sir, we've lost counter measures.
1:38:34>> The sail too. They've lost counter
1:38:36measures. I'm going in. [screaming]
1:38:46Dude's down. Halo 2 is down.
1:38:49>> Air Force One is still with us.
1:38:51>> Yes, we're still here.
1:38:58>> Bas,
1:39:00you son of a
1:39:10The
1:39:10>> last three Migs are bugging out, sir.
1:39:12We're clear.
1:39:17>> Bob, are you still there?
1:39:18>> Yes, sir.
1:39:19>> A little problem here.
1:39:21My rudder is sluggish.
1:39:22>> Let me take a look, sir.
1:39:28>> Oh, man.
1:39:30>> Sir, you're going up pretty bad out
1:39:32here.
1:39:33>> Do you have any elevator control?
1:39:35sluggish, too. We're still losing fuel.
1:39:39>> Okay,
1:39:41>> we got a problem up here, sir. Air Force
1:39:44One is badly hit.
1:39:46>> With the damage, there's no way they can
1:39:48land.
1:39:54>> I'm sorry, sir.
1:39:57>> Thanks for your help.
1:39:58>> I'll stay on your wings, sir. Take it
1:40:01straight and steady until we figure out
1:40:02what to do.
1:40:05Sir,
1:40:08you did great.
1:40:30They can't control the plane. The
1:40:32engines are failing and they're losing
1:40:33fuel.
1:40:34>> There must be something we can do to
1:40:35help them.
1:40:36>> General, is that our air strip strike
1:40:38team?
1:40:38>> Yeah, why?
1:40:40>> I just had a wild idea.
1:40:43>> Time is critical. Start turning north.
1:40:45You'll get more details in route.
1:40:48>> Yes, sir.
1:40:49>> Change of orders acknowledged.
1:40:56>> Try to hold your headache, sir. They'll
1:40:59be rejoining from the south in about 25
1:41:01minutes.
1:41:02>> All right.
1:41:03>> We know it's risky.
1:41:04>> Understood.
1:41:06>> But we are all out of options.
1:41:08>> Dad.
1:41:10>> Yeah, baby.
1:41:12>> It'll be okay. Everything's going to
1:41:14work.
1:41:27Concerned
1:41:31Americans have gathered here at the
1:41:33White House to await word on the
1:41:34president and his family. But CNN has
1:41:37learned that Air Force One is severely
1:41:39crippled and virtually unlandable.
1:41:41Sources report that the first family is
1:41:43still trapped on board and a daring
1:41:45midair rescue operation is said to be
1:41:48underway.
1:41:52>> Air Force One, this is Liberty 24
1:41:53approaching on your left side. Do you
1:41:54read? Air Force One loud and clear.
1:41:57>> Gibbs, they're here. Get the door. Yes,
1:42:00sir.
1:42:00>> 10,000 ft, 200 knots.
1:42:03>> Got get her slug.
1:42:06>> Air Force One and Liberty 24, this is
1:42:09Awax Blue Star. We had to invade our
1:42:11contact.
1:42:20[snorts]
1:42:23Shut up.
1:42:25Liberty 24, they're almost out of fuel.
1:42:28>> Roger, Blueest Star. Air Force One,
1:42:30you've got to keep the wings level. If
1:42:31the engines fail, sacrifice altitude to
1:42:34maintain air speed.
1:42:41>> Ready.
1:42:43>> Liberty 24, ramp leader. First man is on
1:42:45his way.
1:42:46>> Back up.
1:42:48>> Easy.
1:42:49>> Air Force One, come left six.
1:42:55How's my speed?
1:42:57>> It's good. Everything's good. See if you
1:42:58can hold it.
1:43:00>> Little more left, sir. Three, two, stop.
1:43:15>> Pull me in.
1:43:23Unhook me. Got it. I got it.
1:43:30Living locked in. Where's the president?
1:43:33Up in the cockpit.
1:43:47>> Just lost another engine. Uh, Liberty,
1:43:49we just lost another engine.
1:43:51>> Liberty 24 acknowledged.
1:43:54>> Sir, time to go. Who's going to fly the
1:43:57plane?
1:43:57>> I'll take care of that, sir.
1:43:59>> Got it. Go. Ramp the pilot. Second PJ's
1:44:03on the way.
1:44:14>> Mr. President, this way. My family
1:44:17first. Sir, I have orders to take you
1:44:19off this aircraft first.

1:44:26boarding Air Force One. Standing by for
1:44:28recovery. Roger. Moving into the
1:44:30receiver position.
1:44:35>> Dad,
1:44:36>> it's all right, honey.
1:44:39>> Promise.
1:44:40>> Promise. Close your eyes.
1:44:42>> You can do it. Just hold on tight.
1:44:46>> It's okay. Don't worry.
1:44:53>> She's okay.
1:44:59>> Hang on. Hang on.
1:45:01>> Grab the pilot. We got her. We got her.

1:45:33>> Come on, pal.
1:45:41>> We've lost another engine.
1:45:46>> [groaning]
1:45:47>> Air Force One, you're sinking too fast.
1:45:49We only have time for one more
1:45:51retrieval.
1:45:54>> We're passing 3,000 ft. Impact in less
1:45:57than 2 minutes. Get the president out of
1:45:59there.
1:46:00>> Right. Right here. Easy there.
1:46:05>> He's on.
1:46:07>> Sir, get your harness ready. It's time
1:46:09to go.
1:46:10>> What about the other team?
1:46:11>> There's no time for the other team. I
1:46:13can only take one more.
1:46:15>> No, we're all going.
1:46:17>> That's impossible, sir. I have to take
1:46:19you.
