Plot Summary
editAfter the black site in Poland falls victim to a devastating attack, Navy SEAL Jake Harris receives a crucial mission – to personally accompany terrorist suspect Amin Mansur to Washington, D.C. for intensive interrogation. However, as the intricate process of transferring the prisoner unfolds, they must divert from their intended secure military landing site, Andrews Air Force Base, and land in an unnamed civilian airport (later identified as "Washington/Baltimore Airport") in Baltimore instead. Chaos ensues when a formidable band of heavily armed and exceptionally skilled mercenaries unleashes a ruthless assault upon the unsuspecting airport grounds.
The mercenaries take over the airport, including the CCD cameras and the gate. Mansur has some information that they need, so they can't kill him. Three people – Mansur, his wife and Jake – hide in the airport terminals, and arrive at the location where Mulholland is with his men. Mansur's wife, a doctor, helps people with their wounds.
Lomax insinuates that since Marshall was not in Poland during the first attack, he might be the mole. However, a video surfaces showing Lomax speaking in Arabic, indicating that she is in fact the mole. Besides, Mansur recognizes her as the voice on the phone – his handler.
Soon, Mansur is captured by the mercenaries, and Jake falls down the stairs unconscious. Marshall is also captured and says he was right about Lomax betraying the country, when she shoots him in the head. Lomax reveals her plan – if the threat is radioactive, all heads of DOD and NSA gather in one place, hence fingerprinting them and obtaining their biometric data gives her access to all defenses. Thus, this was not really a terror attack at all, but a ploy to take over the strategic defense of the United States.
Lomax tortures Mansur to get the serial number of the container with the radioactive material. Jake then wakes up, and kills a few more mercenaries, dressing up as one of them; he even takes Mansur's wife hostage and offers her to Lomax. She threatens to hit the wife before Mansur gives the number of the container. Mansur is asked to read a speech about taking revenge against America for waging war against Arabs. Lomax then shoots Mansur and he dies in his wife's arms. Jake disarms the mercenaries and frees the wife.
After a shootout, Jake calls Mulholland and tells him about Lomax. Soldiers arrive and take Lomax into custody.
