Plot summary:
JJ has settled into a desk job to see Sophie grow up, but she doesn’t enjoy him being around so much.
She has reached the age where she rebels against everything and doesn’t have all the same interests she had when she was younger.
Her mother is in Rwanda with Nurse for Global Health and she has to live under JJ’s strict schedule.
She’s more interested in asking her classmate Ryan to the homecoming dance, but her best friend Colin thinks Ryan isn’t a good choice.
All three of them are part of the school choir that is selected to go to Rome for a G-7 summit where they will perform before the Pope.
JJ earlier oversaw a mission where one of their agents acquired the location of a hundred suitcase nukes hidden by the Soviet Union.
Their agent doesn’t hand over the drive because she was intercepted by a rogue assassin named Bishop Crane.
He was part of a secret unit with JJ but sold them out on a mission before escaping and JJ was the only other member of the team to survive.
JJ agrees to be one of the chaperones on the trip to Italy with the choir but he and JJ are at odds with how she needs to be treated.
The new vice-principal Nancy Buck is going along with them and she tells JJ that he needs to be on top of his game to ensure the kids are safe on the trip.
JJ’s boss Mr. Kim is Colin’s dad, and he drops his son off for the trip. He tells JJ to keep his son safe because there might be danger.
Sophie tries to sneak out with Ryan and Colin but JJ catches them. To win her over, he lets them out for some time but stays close behind.
Crane and some other men kidnap Colin and Sophie goes after them but cannot catch up. Kim gets a call telling him to head to Rome and follow instructions to save his son.
He only kept JJ in the loop because threatened to kill Colin if he involved the CIA or other authorities. Bobbi came along because he needed an analyst to help with the mission.
They all meet up in Rome where Kim gets his next instructions. He is supposed to download the activation codes from a NATO base at Aviano.
They stop by a safe house to gear up and head to the base where Kim and JJ cause a distraction while Sophie and Bobbi get the codes.
JJ and Kim wait at the given location for the exchange but it turns out to be a trap as they are captured and taken to a different location.
Crane turns out to be working for Nancy, who takes Kim hostage after he locates the nearest nuke.
She orders Crane to kill Colin and sticks a neurotoxin in JJ. Sophie and Bobbi arrive just in time to save JJ, and they rush to save Colin.
They rescue Colin but Crane gets away. Sophie tells Colin who his dad is and why the bad guys wanted him.
Nancy finds the nuke and tells Kim that her husband was an oligarch whose funds were frozen by the American government.
That drove him to suicide and Nancy decided to get revenge. Bobbi breaks into Crane’s phone to find out what Nancy plans to do with the nuke.
They find coordinates for the financial district, but it turns out to be a distraction to ruin JJ’s credibility and keeps him away for as long as possible.
She takes the bomb to the Vatican where all the leaders of the G-7 countries will be along with the Pope and thousands of other people.
Ending explained:
Holding the world hostage
Nancy gets into the Vatican with inside help and she takes Kim with her as she sets up the explosive in the basement.
She primes it with a timer and then sends a message out to the world with her demands. JJ and Bobbi go after them while Sophie and Colin try to warn their classmates.
One of the guards catches Bobbi and JJ and brings them out to face their fate with Kim. Crane takes this chance to brag about killing his team, and Christina, the agent he stole the nuke locations from.
He then mentions that he got into JJ’s house and planted evidence to frame him for Christina’s murder. And he killed his fish, Blueberry.
JJ hears this and loses his mind, going after the soldiers.
High octane chase
Nancy tries to escape in the chaos and Kim goes after her. JJ takes down all of the soldiers except Crane, who gets away with killswitch for the bomb.
Bobbi stays behind while JJ goes after Crane. Sophie spots Carlos and Todd and gets the drop on them, walking to a storage room.
They explain that they survived the blast and went into hiding until Crane hired them to work for Nancy on this job.
She then fights them off with her taser and then attempts to catch up with JJ who is chasing Crane through the streets.
Cutting it close
JJ gets Crane to bring the car to a stop, but he isn’t able to match him in a fight. Crane is about to kill him but Sophie shows up and stops him by throwing knives.
JJ sticks one through his chest but when he looks for the killswitch, he cannot find it. Crane left it in the vehicle that rolled down into the river.
Sophie and JJ jump into the river to get the killswitch and JJ stops the bomb just seconds before it goes off.
He is pulled out by paramedics and brought back to consciousness after passing out underwater.
Nancy has gotten quite far away but Colin catches up to her and keeps her occupied long enough for his father and the police to show up and arrest her.
Colin and Sophie take in their surroundings the next day as they process what they have been through.
She asks him to the homecoming dance and then they kiss, with JJ and Kim watching through a satellite feed.
Everyone heads back home with Sophie and JJ closer than ever.
