All outside networks

locked out.

They're coming

from the White House.

So far,

the perimeter's been set.

We're waiting on more intel

to come in right now,

and once we do,

Bravo team's gonna breach.

Wait for my command to execute.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

Not since the British

burned down the White House

in the War of 1812

has an enemy force occupied

the center of American power.

The White House, the most protected

building on Earth, has fallen.

Sir, we have

a hot feed from the P.E.O.C.

Minister Lee.

Sir, are you safe?

Are you with the President?

Sir, can you hear...

My God.

Don't negotiate.

Sir?

I have your

commander-in-chief.

Now, stand down.

Who are you?

I am the man in control

of your White House.

Now, stand your men down.

- Stand down!

- Sir.

All units, stand down!

Ladies and gentlemen,

we are at DEFCON 4.

How could you?

Put your hands up.

F*** you.

Let go of her, she's a nurse!

No!

McMILLAN:
Bastards!

There is a reason

I never voted for you.

Don't do it, Forbes.

The drone has been deployed.

It takes 15 minutes

for your Armed Forces

to reach the White House.

We took it down in 13.

Mr. Kang.

Can you get them back?

Pull up the

surveillance archives.

Hurry, we need a wheelchair.

In triage, do you want me to

color-code them or number-code them?

Color-code 'em.

Okay, Fran, we still need

to take his vitals.

Fran, we got to

take this one to CT.

Let's go!

Let's go!

He's gone.

Oh, Mike. Mike!

The cellular service

in the area you are calling

has been suspended temporarily.

I got a head trauma, six-year-old girl.

She's fading!

CT scan, now!

Bring Mr. Asher here.

What are you doing,

for Christ's sake?

Oh, sir!

I have no interest in

your nuclear launch codes.

By now your Pentagon

has changed them, no?

Sit.

You from the North?

You sure as hell

are not from the South.

I'm working for justice.

To give millions of starving

men, women, and children

a chance at more

than just subsistence.

To end the civil war your country

interrupted so long ago.

And yes,

for a united, prosperous Korea.

It's a whole new world, baby.

What's the going rate

for souls these days?

What'd you say to me?

I never would have taken

you for a traitor.

Me?

What about you?

You sold this country out

long before I ever did.

Globalization and

f***ing Wall Street.

What's it cost to buy a

presidency nowadays anyway?

Huh?

$500 million?

I'm a f***ing rookie

compared to you!

Gotta keep

your gloves up, Forbes.

Enough!

Find the boy,

his name is Connor.

What about Connor?

What the f*** are you

gonna do with my son?

Mr. Speaker.

As both the President and the Vice

President of the United States

are unable to discharge

the duties of their offices,

I'm officially placing you under

Secret Service protection.

You are the Acting President

of the United States.

Are they alive?

They are.

Sir, North Korea is denying any

involvement in the attack.

We've secured the perimeter

of the White House

and cleared

a 10-block radius.

Sir, they've also assassinated

the South Korean Prime Minister.

We have contact

from inside the White House.

Trace confirms it's

the President's sat phone.

Put it through!

Mr. President?

Negative.

Identify yourself.

Echelon Four.

It's one of yours?

Designator?

Oscar Zulu 309.

Jesus. Banning?

Where are you?

I'm in the Oval Office.

Is the President in the bunker?

He...

Can we trust him?

Banning was one

of our best agents.

Mr. Speaker, I just have to

say, this is Mike Banning.

Is this the same guy that was

removed from the President's detail

after the accident when we lost

the First Lady? Ray! Ray! Ray!

What's he doing in the White House?

You wanna add something?

I suggest you get

your facts straight.

How do we know

we can trust this guy?

Banning is ex-Special Forces,

Ranger battalion.

He will move mountains

or die trying.

I know him.

Does anyone else

in this room have

any intelligence coming out

of the White House?

Then we have no choice.

Yes. The President's

in the bunker.

He's being held hostage.

What do they want?

We're trying to find out.

Who's in charge?

Trumbull.

Are there any

survivors with you?

Negative, sir.

They wiped us out.

They have commandos

roaming the hallways

with enough explosives

to take out an army.

Looks like the doors and windows

are rigged with C-4 explosives.

Who knows what other tricks

they have up their sleeves.

Any team coming in is gonna be ringing

the front doorbell pretty loud.

They shut the power down.

Lights off. And I assume

they closed the air vents.

I killed the surveillance, but I don't

know how long that's gonna last.

Where's Connor?

We have no status of his location, but

he's presumed to still be inside.

Well, they're looking for him.

They have his photo.

Sir, I'm here. Use me.

Okay, Banning. Sit tight.

We'll get back with you.

What part of expedite

do you not understand?

Sir, we have a

hot feed from the P.E.O.C.

Mr. Speaker.

What is it you want?

Recall the Seventh Fleet

from the Sea of Japan,

and withdraw all 28,500 American

troops from the Demilitarized Zone.

If you do not comply, if you attempt

any operation to retake this building,

if you deviate

from my instructions...

Wait a minute. We can't just

recall the Seventh Fleet.

Then I will execute your

officials one by one

and their blood

will be on your hands.

You have until dawn.

I suggest you move quickly.

Who is that guy?

Well, sir, we're running facial

recognition on him right now.

Well, he cleared as part of the

South Korean security detail.

If we recall the Fleet

and leave the DMZ,

Seoul and all of South Korea

could fall within 72 hours, sir.

But if we do nothing, they kill

Asher, the Vice President,

and his entire

National Security team.

And Connor, if he's in there.

Mary, get me some coffee.

Half-and-half,

three Sweet'N Lows.

In a real cup, not one of those

paper or Styrofoam things.

All right.

Let's secure all nuclear sites.

Get me our expert

on North Korea.

Then I want to speak with

the Premier of North Korea

on a secure line.

After that, I wanna speak

with the Russians,

the Chinese, the British,

and the French.

And set up a press conference.

In that order.

United States of America doesn't

negotiate with terrorists.

Who said anything

about negotiating?

Bring him.

Admiral Hoenig,

your Cerberus code.

You kill him,

you won't get the code.

I will not ask again.

Give it to him, Joe.

Mr. President...

Shh.

You'll never get mine.

Tango-Juliet-1

9-3-3-4.

Louden

Tango-Juliet-1-9-3-3-4.

What the hell?

Get me Homeland

Security. No, now!

Sir, NORAD reports

a Cerberus code

has been entered.

Jesus.

Jacobs, I got something coming your way.

I got a Korean commando

in front of me.

- What is that?

- Is he alive?

Ask me a serious question.

Anybody around the table?

We don't recognize it.

Well, whoever they are,

they're f***ing good.

They're well-trained
