I will send the President out

one piece at a time.

It won't matter.

Because whatever you

think you accomplished,

you won't be alive to see it.

Shut him down.

Ah, you're not shutting

me down, Kang.

I'm here to stay.

I underestimated you.

It will not happen again.

There is no again. You're

gonna die down there alone,

cut off from the

rest of the world.

My advice? Save the last

bullet for yourself.

'Cause if you don't,

I'm gonna stick my knife

through your brain.

Don't worry. I'm gonna leak the

photos of your body to the press.

You know, 'cause I know

you like that kind of sh*t.

He's locked out

our video access.

Secure the entrance.

Leaving now!

Her!

I pledge allegiance to the flag

of the

United States of America!

Your leader is out of his mind.

You f***ing idiots!

Go.

Walk.

Move!

Sir, there's movement

in front of the White House.

Ours or theirs?

Looks like

Secretary McMillan, sir.

Any bulges, wires?

Negative.

Sir, ground reports

activity at the White House.

Is that...

McMillan.

Get a team out there now.

And another to cover! Go!

It looks like Secretary McMillan.

Yes, yes, it is.

Yes!

Mike?

Hey.

He got away.

He's back in the bunker.

You gave it a good shot, Mike.

You saved McMillan.

North and South Korean military

forces are on high alert

in response to rumors of an impending

American pull out from the DMZ...

...India, China and Russia

have declared a state of emergency and have

mobilized military forces.

In the Middle East,

the response to the attack

on the White House is jubilant.

Crowds of thousands are

celebrating in the streets and

American flags are burning.

The power vacuum created by

a U.S. departure could spark an

immediate and full-scale conflict

and that any conventional war in this

heavily armed corner of the world

could easily escalate

into nuclear confrontation.

The hour's up.

Send the helicopter.

Let's recall the Seventh Fleet.

Pull the troops out of the DMZ.

We just lost South Korea.

Our Pentagon sources are now

saying that U.S. ground troops

have been given the order

to withdraw from Korea

for the first time in 60 years.

We're also hearing reports

that the U.S.' Seventh Fleet

has been directed

to pull back in the region.

Although unconfirmed,

this historic turn of events

seems to be motivated by today's

attack on the White House,

which began as the Prime Minister of

Korea was meeting with President Asher.

They're recalling the fleet.

Of course.

What are they doing?

Mike.

We have to get Kang

and the President out in the

open and take our best shot.

Copy that, sir.

Bravo team is in position.

Sir, we are ready.

All units are in position.

Here come the hostages.

We count 11 targets, sir.

One of them's gotta

be the President.

That's their ticket out.

Hercules Six in position.

Can you I.D.

the President?

Negative.

Can you I.D. Kang?

Negative.

Targets unclear.

Sir, all ground units

are im position.

Do we have the go-ahead

to take them?

We're gonna go,

we gotta go now, sir.

Do we have the go-ahead, sir?

No. Too risky. They could

kill the President.

Yes, sir.

It's okay. We have a tracking

device on the chopper.

Holy sh*t, what was that?

Was that us?

Negative, negative.

That wasn't us.

Where's the QRT?

Though it is not confirmed

yet, President Asher

is believed to have been among those killed

when the Black Hawk helicopter went down

in flames on the

White House North Lawn.

And certainly, today's events

will be recorded in history

as one of this country's darkest hours.

Oh, my God.

The President's gone.

Mike?

What the hell happened?

I'm sorry to report

the President was

on that helicopter.

And Kang?

Kang killed himself.

And all the other hostages.

Wait. This doesn't add up.

It doesn't make sense.

What doesn't make sense?

Kang would not

go out like that, sir.

That's not who he is.

I think he's

still in the bunker.

And he has the President.

He's gonna try and slip away.

If Kang is still on the premises with

the President, you can't let him leave.

He won't.

I read your Bible,

Mr. President.

It says, "The wages

of sin is death."

You better keep that in mind.

What are you doing?

Cerberus has been activated.

We haven't launched

any missiles yet.

I don't need to launch them.

The explosive force within each hardened

silo will detonate the missiles.

Tens of millions

of Americans will perish.

Your country will be a cold,

dark nuclear wasteland.

Now, too, America shall

know suffering and famine.

South Korean officials are saying now

that they've called up the reserves.

And they're mobilizing additional

armored units in response...

Sir? Cerberus

has been activated.

What?

NORAD confirms.

How did it come to this? We

lost Korea and now our nukes?

They couldn't have

broken the code.

That would be impossible.

They'd be on the bunker computer

for days to break three codes.

He only needed to

break one code.

But we haven't

launched any missiles.

They're gonna detonate

them in their silos.

How many?

All of 'em.

He's just opened

the gates of hell.

Time to go, Mr. President!

You really think you're

gonna get out of here alive?

The world thinks

we're both dead.

And with you as insurance...

To the tunnels.

Come on, Mike.

Looks like you

failed again, Mike.

Sir?

Sir, look at me.

Sir. Sir.

Okay, it's gone through.

You've lost a little blood.

I'm gonna get you

outta here, okay?

Now, you know what to do.

Ben, Ben, come on!

Cerberus.

What?

Cerberus activated.

Cerberus.

Keep that pressed in.

Sir! Ben!

You're gonna be okay.

All right.

This is Banning. I have the President.

He's hurt, but alive.

How do I switch

this f***ing thing off?

Hang on.

Deactivation code!

Find the control panel

marked, "Countermand."

Countermand.

Got it!

Flip a blue-white switch

marked, "initiate Recall."

Initiate recall.

Okay.

Deactivation

sequence initiated.

Please enter abort command.

Come on, come on,

come on, come on!

November-India.

November-India.

Lima.

Wait, wait. Yep.

Five-Oscar-hotel.

Oscar, hotel.

Backslash. Niner.

Backslash.

Victor. Kilo.

Hashtag.

What?

Hashtag.

Shift-3!

Holy f***!

- Shift-3!

- Echo.

Sierra.

Foxtrot.

Foxtrot.

- Is that it?

- That's it.

Cerberus has been deactivated.

Sir,

NORAD confirms Cerberus

has been shut down.

Good.

Now get me Seoul

and Pyongyang on the line.

Are you ready,

Mr. President?

Sorry about the house, sir.

It's okay. I believe

it's insured.

We've lost good friends.

Family.

All good people.

Heroes, every one of them.

Dad!

Our hearts and prayers

go out to their families.

And they will be remembered.

Nor will we forget

those who serve out

of the spotlight,

to whom we owe

our highest gratitude.

Our foe did not come only to

destroy our things or our people.

Are you okay?

They came to desecrate

a way of Hie.

To foul our beliefs.

Trample our freedom.
