White House Down Page #6
- Not yet.
- Apparently, we're all Arabs.
- Good.
- Cake?
- No, I don't want cake.
I'm diabetic.
Hallelujah.
This is my Graceland!
Sweet Shiva.
Sugary pops of delight.
Come on, let's go! Move!
Let's go, sheeple.
Now, welcome to my house.
Now, sit down and shut up!
Oh, baby, I've missed you.
Let's get you plugged in.
You fit in nicely right there.
Ladies and gentlemen,
Skip Tyler has arrived.
By the time you're watching this,
I will have pulled off the greatest hack...
...the world has ever seen.
This is difficult for some, it is...
...but for me, it's as easy as
one, two, three...
...four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.
Yes.
Showtime!
Oh, some latecomers.
Secretary of Homeland Security...
...is in the house!
You're so getting fired for this.
- Look who was hiding in the Press Room.
- Oh, my God, Roger Skinner!
The only one who speaks the truth.
I love your show. Seriously.
After you, please. Get in there.
Come out, come out,
wherever you are.
Playing some hide-and-seek, little girl?
Well, then, I will huff, and I will puff...
...and I'm gonna blow your house down.
- No, no, no! Leave me alone.
- Get in here.
- Move!
- Mr. Skinner, please stop crying.
Get comfortable, you little mutt.
Are you okay?
- Oh, my God, where's my dad?
- He went looking for you.
Excuse me for a second.
Sir?
Hi.
I understand that this is
a very high-stress time...
...but if you and your colleagues...
...could maybe be
a little more careful...
...with the priceless artefacts
that are in this building...
...because I mean, it is a living history--
Okay, because see...
...that was a Ming Dynasty
16th-century vase...
...that was a gift from
Queen Elizabeth ll. It's irreplaceable.
I'll go sit down. I'm gonna... I'll be over
here if you have any more questions.
Vadim, Chen, report.
We're done with the residence, boss.
Coming up to the third floor.
Sh*t.
Okay, I'm coming up.
Get your head down!
What are you doing?
- Trying to shoot off the cables?
- I heard something.
Come on. That thing's 100 years old.
The sh*t's too heavy for it.
- Jesus, they have Javelins.
- Javelin what?
Surface-to-air missiles.
If anybody comes in by air,
they're done.
Mr. Speaker,
I have the vice president for you.
- Alvin, you okay?
- I'm fine.
Who's in command on the ground?
- Well...
- Permission to speak freely.
- Yeah, yeah, granted.
- it's a sh*t show.
D.C. police are on the scene,
FBI is trying to horn in...
...plus Secret Service feels it
should be their show.
It should. Carol Finnerty,
Secret Service.
Mr. Vice President,
it was our building that was taken.
Yes, it was, and now
you're standing in our building.
We need to send the Army in there
and take the White House back.
I don't think you can. Posse
Comitatus and the Insurrection Act...
...make it very difficult to deploy
combat troops on American soil.
Which is why we federalized
the National Guard minutes ago.
Sir, with respect,
only the president can do that.
Alvin, we're in
a constitutional crisis here.
We've never had
a missing chief executive.
We're gonna have to start talking
about the 25th Amendment.
You wanna remove the president
from power?
I don't wanna do anything,
but I can't sit here...
...and watch the government come
crashing down around us.
We've tried them on the phone
by now, right?
Who?
Hello?
Hello, this is Special Agent Carol
Finnerty. To whom am I speaking?
That sounds official. Please hold.
Your call's very important to us.
- We've got an incoming call.
- About time.
Put them through.
Thank you for holding.
I'll patch you through.
Have a great day.
Hello, this is Carol Finnerty.
Who is this?
It's me, Carol.
You should've called already.
- Martin.
- We've held the building for 15 minutes.
- "We"?
- I'm sure you're recording this...
...so let's make this easy on everybody.
My name is Martin James Walker.
Chief of the presidential detail
of the Secret Service.
White House and the 61 hostages within.
- What are you doing?
- I did you the courtesy...
...of sending you out of here,
so let's just keep it professional, okay?
"Professional"?
You killed your own men.
Where's Ted?
Killing Ted Hope...
...was the second hardest thing
I've ever had to do in my life.
Martin, I want you to--
There's not a thing you're about to say
that I didn't teach you.
So we're gonna get all this done in
two hours and be done by lunch, okay?
Now, ask me what I want.
- What do you want?
- On any given day...
...the United States Federal Reserve
holds in excess of $400 million in cash.
And I want it loaded aboard
a Boeing (3-17...
...which you will leave fuelled and
otherwise empty on runway one-niner.
I'd like to know how you plan
on getting from the White House...
...to Reagan National
without being killed.
We have eyes in the sky.
If I see a single sniper...
...within 10 miles of this place,
lam going to kill...
...four Cabinet members...
...and in a particularly nice
touch of irony...
...the director
of Homeland Security himself.
Is President Sawyer alive?
- Yes.
- I want proof of life.
You got two hours
or I will execute him myself...
...on the South Lawn
of the White House.
Jesus, the head of his own detail.
At least we know
how they got in so easily.
Can we be sure he's the only
Secret Service member...
...who's been compromised?
- Oh, go to hell.
Proof of life, huh?
You say you can do better
than your men. Here's your chance.
- Find him.
- With pleasure.
Walker's wife, Muriel, is in Fairfax.
Could you find her, please?
You Okay?
I have Thanksgiving
I wanna run the whole search again,
from the top.
Motts, meet me on the ground floor.
Chen, Vadim, the third.
Meet in the middle.
Roger that. I'm taking the stairs.
Mulcahy, finish up.
That was the last one.
Wait, so you said Walker's son died?
The Pentagon thought that Iran
had a nuclear bomb. We sent a team in.
Things went wrong.
Martin's son Kevin got killed.
- You're telling me this is personal?
- He's not doing it by himself.
- Someone else is footing the bill.
- Who?
Heard of
the military-industrial complex?
Those are the manufacturers
of the weapons.
They think they own the system and
they will do anything to keep that power.
They profit off of your sacrifice.
Politicians always love
talking about sacrifice.
Think I don't know anything
about sacrifice?
How many people come to your house
and wanna kill you?
Missiles are topside.
Elevator going down to one.
- We gotta get off on the second floor.
- What?
Get off, get off, get off.
- You all right? You see anybody?
- No, we're clear.
Kick it in. Harder.
Mr. President, stay on my hip.
I got three rounds. Tell me you got
some weapons in the residence.
No, we usually have two agents
right there with machine guns.
- We got some knives in the kitchen.
