Meanwhile, Gabriel orders his crew of hackers to take over transportation grids and the stock market while nationally broadcasting a threatening message to the U.S. government. Farrell realizes this is a "fire sale", a <a href="/wiki/Cyberwarfare" title="Cyberwarfare">cyber attack</a> designed to disable the nation's <a href="/wiki/Infrastructure" title="Infrastructure">infrastructure</a>. As McClane and Farrell are driven to <a href="/wiki/United_States_Department_of_Homeland_Security" title="United States Department of Homeland Security">DHS</a> headquarters, Linh, posing as a dispatcher, reroutes them into a helicopter ambush. McClane fends off the attackers and destroys the helicopter. </p><p>McClane asks Farrell what would be Gabriel's next move, and he deduces Gabriel's next target is the power grid. They drive to a <a href="/wiki/Electrical_substation" class="mw-redirect" title="Electrical substation">utility superstation</a> in <a href="/wiki/West_Virginia" title="West Virginia">West Virginia</a>. They find the superstation under the control of a team led by Linh. McClane and Farrell kill the team, and McClane kills Linh by locking her into a car that falls from an elevator shaft and explodes. </p><p>While Farrell is working on the hub computer to slow the damage, he traces Gabriel and uploads his picture to Bowman. McClane learns that Bowman and Gabriel once worked together for the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Department_of_Defense" title="United States Department of Defense">DOD</a>, and Gabriel was the chief programmer for infrastructural security. He warned the department of weaknesses that made America's network infrastructure vulnerable to <a href="/wiki/Cyberwarfare" title="Cyberwarfare">cyberwarfare</a>, but he was ignored and his unorthodox methods got him fired, and he is out for revenge. Enraged over Linh's death, Gabriel redirects the natural gas pipelines to the superstation to kill McClane and Farrell, and they barely escape before a massive blackout occurs throughout the <a href="/wiki/East_Coast_of_the_United_States" title="East Coast of the United States">Eastern Seaboard</a>. </p><p>McClane and Farrell then travel by helicopter to the home of super hacker Frederick "Warlock" Kaludis in <a href="/wiki/Baltimore" title="Baltimore">Baltimore</a>.

The blackout on the FBI triggered a download of financial data to Woodlawn, which Gabriel plans to steal. Meanwhile, Gabriel taps into the connection they made, which reveals the location of McClane's estranged daughter Lucy, whom he kidnaps. McClane and Gabriel then meet - virtually - McClane telling him he will lose. </p><p>McClane and Farrell race to the Woodlawn facility. Farrell finds the facility's main server and encrypts the data Gabriel's men downloaded before getting captured. Gabriel then takes Farrell and Lucy with him as he flees. McClane pursues them, hijacking their <a href="/wiki/Semi-trailer_truck" title="Semi-trailer truck">semi</a> mobile base. Accessing the communication system of an <a href="/wiki/F-35B" class="mw-redirect" title="F-35B">F-35B Lightning II</a>, Gabriel orders the pilot to attack the truck McClane is driving, but the jet is destroyed by falling debris. McClane barely survives and sees Gabriel's vehicle pull into a nearby hangar. </p><p>There, Gabriel demands that Farrell decrypt the financial data. When he refuses, Gabriel shoots him and threatens to kill Lucy. McClane arrives, killing two of Gabriel's men, but he is shot and wounded by Gabriel's last man, Emerson. Gabriel positions himself behind McClane, putting the barrel of the gun in his shoulder wound. McClane then pulls the trigger. The bullet travels through McClane's shoulder and hits Gabriel in the heart, killing him instantly. Farrell then grabs a pistol and kills Emerson as the FBI arrives. Afterward, McClane thanks Farrell for saving Lucy's life, who takes a romantic interest in him. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Live_Free_or_Die_Hard&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Bruce_Willis" title="Bruce Willis">Bruce Willis</a> as Detective <a href="/wiki/John_McClane" title="John McClane">John McClane</a> of the <a href="/wiki/New_York_City_Police_Department" title="New York City Police Department">NYPD</a>.
