The entire action-packed sequence takes place around London's One Canada Square when a group of activists hijack the gala of an energy company and hold 300 hostages. One of them threatens to blow up the building unless his demands are met.
It is then up to Joey to save the hostages, including her brother, single-handedly. She maneuvers herself around the building using her window cleaning equipment.
