As Rane boards the plane with an FBI escort, Cutter gives the order to fire. Cutter, Henderson, and Chief Biggs work out a plan for FBI snipers to take down Rane as he boards the plane, upon which FBI teams will storm the plane and deal with his remaining underlings on board. Though back in custody, Rane tells the FBI and police that his remaining team aboard the plane will begin to execute the rest of the hostages if he is not returned to the plane and granted takeoff clearance. At a nearby fair, Cutter manages to kill one of the henchmen and engages Rane in a fight just as police reinforcements arrive. Meanwhile, a team of FBI agents arrive, headed by Dwight Henderson (Robert Hooks), who angrily informs Chief Biggs of Cutter's true identity. Cutter overpowers the sheriff's deputies, frees himself from his handcuffs, and gives chase on a police motorcycle. As the passengers are being released, Rane and two of his men make their escape. When the deputies bring Cutter before Chief Biggs, Biggs orders him taken into custody. Rane also tells Biggs that Cutter is one of his men, a deserter. Rane promises to release half the hostages in return for fuel and takeoff clearance. Meanwhile, Rane has made contact with the local sheriff, Chief Biggs (Ernie Lively).
On the tarmac, Cutter is quickly apprehended by local sheriff's deputies. Cutter manages to escape from the plane, but Marti is captured by another of Rane's men. After a brief fight with one of Rane's men down there, Cutter initiates a fuel dump which forces the Tri Star Lockheed L-1011 to land at a small Louisiana airfield. During the confrontation, Cutter and Marti manage to escape, taking the elevator to the plane's lower deck. However, Rane responds by executing one of the passengers with a Berreta M9 pistol, making Cutter feel responsible for the man's death. Cutter, in the lavatory during the takeover, emerges and overpowers one of Rane's men. Several other henchmen concurrently spring into action, stealing weapons from the dead officers and taking the plane's passengers hostage. Mid-flight, Rane is freed when Sabrina Ritchie (Elizabeth Hurley), disguised as a flight attendant, shoots both FBI officers dead. When Marti performs a head count after boarding is complete, Cutter happens to be passenger number 57. Several of Rane's people are aboard the plane, disguised as cabin crew and passengers.
