Cutter recognizes the passenger release as a diversion, and escapes from the sheriff, and chases Rane and his men into a local county fair. Biggs gives the go-ahead for refueling, and as the passengers are freed, Rane and his men escape from the plane, having given orders to those still on board to kill the rest of the hostages if their plans are interfered with. Cutter is found by the local sheriff Chief Biggs and taken into custody. Rane also asserts that Cutter is one of his own men turned against him. Rane contacts the field's tower and demands that the plane be refueled, or he will start killing the hostages he does offer that he will release half of the passengers should they comply. Cutter jumps from the plane once it has landed, but Marti is caught by Rane and kept aboard. Cutter dumps the plane's fuel, forcing Rane to order the pilots to land at a small Louisiana airfield. Cutter realizes he's outmatched, and with Marti, escape to the plane's cargo hold, dispatching Vincent, another of Rane's men there, disguised as a caterer. Rane is indifferent, and shows his ruthlessness by taking a passenger as hostage, and then killing him without mercy. Cutter overpowers the agent and takes his weapon he then uses the agent as a shield to confront Rane. Cutter, in the lavatory at the time, manages to use the plane's cellular phones to warn Delvecchio to the situation, but Cutter is soon discovered by one of Rane's agents.
