John McClane, who has not been in touch with his son for years, learns of Jack's situation and travels to Russia to help. When McClane arrives and approaches the courthouse that holds Jack and Komarov on trial, an explosion orchestrated by Chagarin and his henchmen occurs in the courthouse, and Jack breaks free with Komarov. McClane, Jack, and Komarov escape, but Jack and Komarov were supposed to be extracted by the CIA. They are directed to a safe house when Jack misses the extraction window. Hiding in a safe house, McClane finds out that Jack has been a CIA officer in an undercover operation for the past three years. Collins, Jack's partner, demands the location of the secret file from Komarov so that the CIA can bring Chagarin down. Komarov agrees to handover the file to Collins in exchange for safe passage from Russia for him and his daughter. Collins is soon shot by Chagarin's men and dies, as McClane, Jack, and Komarov survive the subsequent heavy gunfire and escape again. The trio then makes their way to a hotel in the city to find the key to a vault containing the file. The plan takes a twist when they meet Komarov's daughter, Irina, who turns out to be working with Chagarin. Jack and McClane manage to escape from Irina and her henchmen, and they discover that the file never existed. Instead, the vault contains a large amount of weapons-grade uranium.
