A hacker at the security center then hacks the tablet, disabling the facial recognition and giving him access to The Pearl's security systems, locking out Zhao and his team from administrative access to The Pearl, and disabling all fire extinguishing systems above the 95th floor, creating an impenetrable fire barrier that cuts off all rescue operations from below in assisting any survivors on the upper floors. Meanwhile, Botha and his mercenaries start a fire on the 96th floor of the building, triggering and activating the advanced computer controlled fire extinguishing system installed throughout the skyscraper. As he leaves, Botha’s subordinate, Xia, steals the tablet from Sawyer before infiltrating the security center and killing all the personnel there. In the struggle, Ben is mortally wounded, and warns Sawyer that Botha’s men will kill him for the tablet before he dies. While heading to the offsite security center, a thief working for Kores Botha, an international terrorist with ties to many major crime syndicates, attempts to steal the tablet from Sawyer, but fails, resulting in Ben revealing that he too is working with Botha so that he can ruin Sawyer out of jealousy, before attacking Sawyer in an attempt to steal the tablet himself.
