They plan to blackmail the government with the threat of detonating the warhead in a civilian area.Hale survives the ejection and is found by Park Ranger Terry Carmichael Samantha Mathis. He convinces her to help him track down Deakins and foil his plot. After recovering one of the warheads from a hijacked Humvee and escaping to a nearby copper mine, Hale attempts to disable them using a safety feature which would render them unusable, by intentionally entering the arming code incorrectly. However, Deakins had anticipated this scenario, and rigged the device. As a result, Hales action instead arms the warhead, setting the detonation timer forminutes. ........
