01x03 - Draw a Blank

[bunniefuu]

[POLICE SIREN SOUNDS]

[ZAHRA] Yeah, um, tell
me your name again. Sorry.

[ALICE] Alice... Alice Sinclair.

So, you're saying, Alice, that
this is a definite SOS call...

- [ALICE] No. No, we're saying...
- ... or that you're still not sure?

Because they both are two
very different things, Alice.

[ALICE] We're saying,
if you let me speak,

that due to its changing course
and unusual communications,

that there is a
stronger chance than ever

that flight KA is in danger.

Unusual communications?

Failure to respond, contradiction
in statements made by the pilot,

and as of whatever it is now,
: , that's all we've got.

But it's enough to have us worried.

Right, so... so, I'm taking this higher?

[ALICE] Yeah, that
would be our suggestion.

Coming to you with any questions.

Also very sensible.

[ZAHRA] Okay. [SIGHS]
Uh, thank you, Alice.

You're welcome.

- Where's the duty officer?
- Right through.

Thanks.

- [LYDIA] Okay, so... [STAMMERS]
- [KNOCKS]

I need our JTAC duty officer.

- Zahra, I'm in a meeting.
- I can see that.

- Morning.
- [BOTH] Morning.

- Have you got any idea what you've just...
- Our JTAC duty officer?

Is on paternity leave.

Right. Then I need whoever's covering...

- Me.
- ... to spea...

to speak to their colleagues at
JTAC. Set up a call or a meeting.

We have a suspected hijack
of a British passenger plane

due to arrive in London in five hours.

[PASSENGER , WHISPERING IN ARABIC]
Nobody's interested.

- [PASSENGER ] It's important.
- You're always interfering.

[SIGHS, GRUNTS]

Sit. Don't make trouble.

[HUGO, IN ENGLISH] Hey.
Is everything all right?

[PASSENGER ] Everything okay.

[HUGO] Is there something
you wanna talk about?

No. No talking. Thank you.

- What was that about?
- Obviously, I don't know.

[WHISPERING] She's
telling him to shut up.

What he's saying will
get them in trouble.

What is he saying?

He says the g*ns the
hijackers are using a-are fake.

[OVERLAPPING RADIO CHATTER]

["LONELY SOUL" PLAYING]

[NARRATOR] Deep breaths in...

- [INHALES DEEPLY]
- ... then exhaling slowly through the nose.

[EXHALES DEEPLY]

Eyes opening gently now.

Take a moment to take in the peace

and the calm of the world around you.

[HUGO] If what he's saying is
true, this could all be over.

I mean, just on numbers alone,
there's what? Five of them?

That's ten against
one. More probably, .

It's not as easy as that, is it?

We could end this. Now.

Why? Because of some... some
old man's hunch? Is that why?

Ask how he knows.

- She doesn't want to talk.
- Ask her.

[IN ARABIC] Excuse me.

- What your husband said...
- Forget what he said.

But the other passengers
are asking how does he know?

- He knows because...
- Quiet!

Quiet!

... because he was in
the Egyptian m*llitary

- for thirty years.
- [BREATHES HEAVILY]

Because he dealt with
hijackings all the time.

[GROANS] No!

- You let me speak!
- [IN ENGLISH] What's he shouting about?

[PASSENGERS BREATHING SHAKILY]

You. What's your problem?

- [PASSENGERS GASPING]
- Well?

Well?

[STAMMERING] He wants to get, um, a...

a message... [SIGHS] ...
to his... his grandchildren.

Doesn't think he's gonna see 'em again.

And we were just trying to comfort
him and tell him that, you know...

- [PASSENGERS BREATHING HEAVILY, SNIFFLING]
- ... it's the same for all of us.

Keep it down.

[SIGHS]

[ALICE] Kingdom - is
leaving northern Iraq

and just entering Turkish airspace.

Let's have Istanbul challenge the pilot

one more time on this change of route.

This is our pilot, Robin Allen.

Old-school, Cathay-Pacific type.

He's been with Kingdom for over
a decade. Long haul, mainly.

Too long in the tooth to know
this won't be going unnoticed.

Yeah.

[ALICE] So what the
hell are they playing at?

[PASSENGER] He says in
the hijacks he dealt with

by the PLO, or whoever,

they never had live rounds.

Always blanks?

[SPEAKING ARABIC]

Blanks make a bang.

They keep people in check,

but they do no damage because
there's no actual b*llet.

No, uh, um... Uh, what's
the word in English?

No projectile.

The sh*t that was fired in business,

no one was hit, no hole
in the plane, nothing.

Otherwise, we'd know about it,
right? W-We'd be losing pressure.

We have to get a message back
there, have them look for the b*llet.

If they find it, fine,
at least we know. But...

But if they don't, if
there's no actual b*llet...

- Listen to yourself.
- Maybe the old guy's right.

Just stop.

Stop.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

- Hey, stop.
- Why?

Because there's other stuff
going down, other sh*t at play.

- Like what?
- Like, we are signaling to the ground.

We're talking to the ground to let
'em know that we are in trouble.

We? Who's... Who's we?

We.

Listen, if the g*ns are fake,
this could be over in a heartbeat.

It's like you said, we
can just enjoy the movie.

True, but the g*ns are real.

- How can you say that?
- I'm telling you, they're real.

- How could you possibly say that?
- Listen to me, okay?

If you want to get
the better of someone,

you've got to put
yourself in their shoes.

You've got to think like they think.

Now, what if I made you
hijack a plane of this size?

[STAMMERS] Do you imagine
how daunting that would be?

Then how do you think you'd feel if
I told you to do it with a toy g*n?

What would you say, Hugo?

Hmm? I'll tell you what
you'd say. You'd say, "No."

You'd say, "I need a
g*n to protect myself

for when the passengers try it on."

Because you're not stupid. Right,
you would have thought it through.

- So you stay out of it, yes?
- [HUGO] But...

No, you stay out of
it for your own safety.

Got it?

[BOTH SIGH]

Sod it. You don't get to decide
who does what. No one appointed you.

- Don't do that. Don't... [SIGHS]
- [CALL BUTTON BEEPS]

- [CURTAIN OPENS]
- [FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

Don't feel good. I feel sick.

He says he's feeling sick.

How sick?

You gonna puke? Is
that what you're saying?

I think so.

Okay. Take him.

But don't flush the
toilet. Keep the door open.

Sorry?

Well, if he's gonna be
sick, I wanna see it.

And if he's bullshitting, well,
he's got himself another problem.

You still feeling sick?

[HUGO SNIFFS]

[RETCHES, COUGHS]

Shut up.

[RETCHING, COUGHING]

[JAMIE] Right, time's up. Get him out.

- [HUGO RETCHING]
- Up! Get him out!

- [PASSENGER ] Get it.
- [PASSENGER ] Yeah, go on.

Is that it? Pathetic.

[TOILET FLUSHES]

[PASSENGERS WHISPERING]

- [JAMIE] Feel better, do ya?
- [SEAT BELT CLICKS]

Empty your pockets.

Are you deaf? Go on.

I'm waiting.

[JAMIE SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

Right. [INDISTINCT]

Sit the f*ck down and
face the f*ck forward.

[FLIGHT CONTROLLER] Kingdom - ,
this is Istanbul. Do you read?

Kingdom - , this is Istanbul Control.

We have been trying to contact
you for five minutes. Do you read?

I managed to get a message to
business. Let's see what happens.

You're a fool.

I'm a fool?

You put them in danger.

This from the man who gave
the hijackers their g*n back?

[CHEWS]

[HIJACKER] You, up.

All right. All right.

[FOOTSTEPS DEPARTING]

[FLIGHT CONTROLLER]
Kingdom - , please identify.

[ROBIN] This is what I'm saying.
Every time we cross a border...

[FLIGHT CONTROLLER] Kingdom
- , this is Istanbul Control.

- ... this is gonna keep happening.
- Get on with it then.

[ROBIN CLEARS THROAT]

- Ist...
- Please identify.

Istanbul, good morning. This is
Kingdom - , hearing you loud and clear.

[FLIGHT CONTROLLER] Kingdom - ,
I'm reading a heading of degrees.

That is correct. Maintaining
an altitude of , ...

[FLIGHT CONTROLLER] - , you
are miles outside your airway.

Uh, outside, yes. That is correct.

We, um... We had some crosswinds
to contend with, but we are now...

[FLIGHT CONTROLLER] Please
return to airway two.

Doing that as we speak,
Istanbul. Apologies.

[FLIGHT CONTROLLER]
Thank you, Kingdom - .

We wish you a happy onward journey.

Thank you, Istanbul.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

Nasir?

[IN ARABIC] Your uncle's
going to need his insulin.

- The needles are in the bag.
- [NASIR'S UNCLE COUGHS]

[GRUNTING]

Best to ask the Muslim boy.

[IN ENGLISH] He's no Muslim. [SCOFFS]

[NASIR'S UNCLE BREATHING
HEAVILY, GROANING]

Sorry, man, I just need to
grab something from the locker.

- No.
- I just ne... It's just a medicine bag.

- My uncle is ill.
- I said no. Stay in your seat.

What are you being
so difficult for, man?

The locker's right
there. You can see it.

[HIJACKER] Are you trying
to piss me off, or what?

- No.
- [CLICKS TONGUE] I will show you, man.

- It's right...
- Stay in your f*cking seat.

What's your problem?

Look at him. He needs his medicine.

[IN ARABIC] You'd better shut up.

[PASSENGERS GASP]

Or he gets a whole
different kind of medicine.

Understand?

- Trust me.
- [NASIR BREATHES HEAVILY]

You've got no idea who
you are dealing with.

[STUART] Get in here, both of ya.

You listen to me.

No more toilet breaks,
no more f*cking about.

They sit still, or
we go back to the bag.

Go back to the bag, make an
example of someone. Right?

[SIGHS]

[PASSENGERS WHISPERING]

[PASSENGER] No, sit down.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

[SIGHS]

- [HIJACKER] You said that we wouldn't.
- We've got no choice.

No, we went through this.

I asked you straight up,
and you gave me your word.

We have to, mate, or
we're gonna lose this.

[SIGHS]

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

- [HIJACKER] What are you doing?
- [GASPS]

- I said, what are you doing?
- [WHIMPERING]

[INHALES SHAKILY] My glasses.
I... I dropped my glasses.

- Your glasses?
- [PASSENGER INHALES SHAKILY]

Back in your seat. Go on.

[SHOUTING] I swear to God, somebody
is gonna get sh*t, all right?

You keep all this up, and
someone's gonna get a b*llet.

[HUGO] There is no b*llet.

She said, "Then somebody gets a
b*llet." But there's no b*llet to get.

I told them... [INHALES SHARPLY]

... if they can't find anything,
if they're sure there's nothing,

turn on their reading light.

It's not enough.

Reading light means no b*llet.

No b*llet means blanks.
That's what he said.

Or it means they couldn't find a b*llet.

- There's something in this.
- [SAM] We don't know that.

We could end this.

Or we could get a lot of people k*lled.

[SIGHS]

[TOOTHBRUSH WHIRRING]

[WHIRRING STOPS]

[PERSON] Marsha!

[MARSHA] Sorry, Elliot. [SIGHS]
There's a lot going on this morning.

It's okay. Just treat it
like any other lecture.

Except it's not, is it?
It's a job interview.

You've taught it before, so it's
nothing you can't do today. Okay?

Yeah, thank you. [CHUCKLES]

[BREATHES SHAKILY]

[ZAHRA] Okay. So, um,
this is what we got so far.

Thirty-five minutes after departure,

the pilot makes a distress
call to air traffic control

citing a definite security incident.

Then, seven minutes later,

the pilot calls back saying
that the issue's been resolved.

- Resolved?
- False alarm.

Denied that there was ever
a problem, his mistake.

Three minutes after that,

a passenger sends a text

reestablishing the idea
that there's an incident.

Then, as the plane
enters Iraqi airspace,

it-it mysteriously starts diverging...

Sorry, sorry. Where are
you getting all this?

Oh, and the Internet's down.

[ZAHRA] This is all coming from
air traffic controllers in the Gulf.

- [SUPERVISOR ] And who's talking to them?
- Flight path control in Swanick.

Uh, in fact, uh...
Alice. Alice, you there?

I think Alice is on mute.

Sorry.

I was just saying that there
are precedents for this.

Um, pilots would say one
thing but do another.

Zigzag so the ground
realizes there's a problem.

If I could just share
my screen with you.

[ALICE] So they were three degrees
out due to weather conditions.

You can just see where
I'm moving the cursor.

But ATC in Turkey have just told us

that the pilot has put the plane
back on its intended route.

So if you can see where
my cursor is now...

[ZAHRA] So it's back on course?

[ALICE] Yes, but look.

[SIGHS] Look at the angle of
their return. It's too acute.

If they continue on that heading...

[SUPERVISOR ] It's gonna do
what you suggested earlier.

It's going to zigzag.

[ALICE] Here we go. Right now, look.

That's a definite overcorrection.

Gina, where's the foreign
secretary this morning?

[HIJACKER] What's this?

What's so fascinating
about this the whole time?

Who you writing to?

What? No one.

- [HIJACKER] Is this online?
- [ROBIN] Uh, no.

Who? Answer me.

[SIGHS, INHALES SHAKILY]

- [GROANING] Jesus!
- Hey, hey! That is the pilot.

- [GROANS] sh*t.
- The pilot!

How stupid are you lot?

- What did you say to me?
- [SAM STAMMERS] I'm just saying...

I meant you've got to think...

- [GRUNTING]
- [ROBIN YELLS] No. Stop.

- Let him go! Let him go.
- All right. All right. I am.

- Now.
- I'm... I am letting him go.

[JAMIE] Now!

All right.

[BREATHES HEAVILY] Right, down.

Eyes down, stay down.

I've had enough of your sh*t.

Put your hands in your lap where
I can see 'em, and don't move.

[SIGHS]

Now, I'm gonna cr*ck you
on the top of the head

with the butt of my g*n.

If you try and block me or
stop me, move out of the way,

she's gonna pull that
trigger. Do you understand me?

- [SHOUTING] Do you understand me?
- Yes.

[HIJACKER] Good.

You stay still.

[INHALES SHARPLY]

Stay still, and you smile.

Smile like you want me to hit you.

Smile like you're happy.

That ain't a proper smile, mate.

And we all wanna see a nice smile!

Don't we?

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

Smile!

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

[HIJACKER] That's it. Say "cheese."

Say it. Go on.

Say "cheese," and all this stops.

Say it, Sam Nelson.

Cheese.

That's it.

[BREATHES SHAKILY]

- [EXHALES SHARPLY]
- [PASSENGERS GASPING]

Turn off all the screens.

[EXHALES SHARPLY]

All the screens for
the rest of the flight.

[SNIFFS]

You see, I told you.

If that was me, I would have sh*t you.

Made an example out of
you, but he can't, can he?

- Hugo...
- This is what I have been talking about.

Shut the f*ck up.

[INHALES SHARPLY]

It's my pleasure to introduce the
highly esteemed professor of physics,

Marsha Smith-Nelson.

[STUDENTS APPLAUDING]

Thank you. Good morning.

About a month ago, my partner
and I went on a city break.

Now, my son, who is a year
or two younger than you,

asked if he could have a
party while we were gone.

So, I took a deep breath,

I thought about it, and I said yes.

[STUDENTS CHUCKLE]

[MARSHA] After we came
back from the weekend,

my partner stopped the car at
the end of the road and said,

"Maybe we go no further.
Right now, the flat's fine.

Nothing's broken. Nothing's stolen.

If we don't go back,
we don't see the damage.

It's as if it doesn't exist."

To which I said, "Well,
what if there is no damage?

If we don't go back, we don't
get to see that either."

As physicists, what
does that remind us of?

Yes?

- [STUDENT] Schrödinger's cat?
- Yes, good.

Schrödinger's cat, where more
than one thing could be true.

- Maybe everything's fine.
- [BREATHING HEAVILY]

Maybe not.

Maybe it really is as bad
as we've been fearing.

That is the paradox. That is the
problem we find ourselves in.

Until we take action,

until we investigate,
there remains a duality.

It is only our act of looking
that forces nature's hand.

[SAM] Hey.

Ask if he can... Ask if he can prove it.

The blanks. Ask if he
can prove they're blanks.

Or is he just guessing?

Yussuf.

[IN ARABIC] Can you
prove they are blanks?

[IN ARABIC] I believe they are blanks,

but without examining the g*ns myself,

how can I be certain?

[IN ENGLISH] He says
he can't be certain.

Not without examining the g*ns himself.

[SIGHING]

Hey, are you the guy who's
looking for the b*llet?

[BREATHES HEAVILY] We
had one. We found one.

You did? In business?

No, just after takeoff.

Some of the girls in economy
found it in the toilet.

- One of the hijackers took it back.
- [DEEVIA] Arthur.

But they had it. They
held it in their hands.

- It was there.
- [DEEVIA] Arthur.

[SIGHS]

Ask him if it would help to
see what the b*llet looks like.

[BREATHING SHAKILY]

Hey, listen... [STAMMERS]

... I will not sit here
and let my uncle get sick.

- Do you hear me?
- [KACEY] What is your problem?

Look, please just let
him get his medicine.

[PASSENGER ] Stop talking
to him like that. All of you.

You're raising your voices.
You're antagonizing him.

His uncle is dying.

[PHILIP] I understand that,

but the young man is
anxious enough as it is.

This is frightening for him too.

[PASSENGER] He's doing two drawings.

Drawing A is of a normal
b*llet. Drawing B is the blank.

B for blank.

Whoever saw it just needs
to say which one they saw.

Tell him, "Thanks."

[IN ARABIC] They say thank you.

[SPEAKS ARABIC]

He says it's in his interest too.

[CHUCKLES]

That's it now. After this,
you keep my husband out of it.

Okay. Here's the plan.

[SUPERVISOR] Right. The
foreign secretary is on her way.

She's asked that we base ourselves here

rather than waste time
decamping to COBRA.

All right. Okay, well, with that in
mind, this is not a spectator sport.

Let's clear this floor of all
nonessential personnel, please.

And let's go with what Detective
Gahfoor has suggested, which is...

To get the flight manifest. Yeah,
I've already put that call in.

[SUPERVISOR ] Finally, and
Lydia, I am looking at you,

please let's find a point
person for foreign contact.

If I was a Romanian or
Hungarian, I'd be wanting to know,

"Why is there a
unresponsive passenger plane

heading straight towards me?"

So let's give them someone to talk to.

And what does that person tell them?

Ministers have been briefed,

and we'll approve a course of
action within the next minutes.

Let's be absolutely clear.

This has all the makings
of an international tragedy.

[PHONE RINGING]

Excuse me, please.

[SUPERVISOR ] Well, there should...

[ZAHRA] See what you started?

- You're gonna get the manifest personally?
- Yes. [SIGHS]

Okay, well, if you can forward that
to me, please, I'd appreciate it.

- Here you go, Dan.
- Daniel, you know I can't do that.

[DANIEL] I can run the passenger
names through the PNC...

- Daniel.
- See who's got a criminal record.

[ZAHRA] Yeah, we'll
be doing that anyway.

[DANIEL] So, why are you
telling me all of this then?

One minute, there's a problem,
then there's not. Now you say...

You'd prefer not to be updated?

I'm just asking what you want
me to do with this information.

[ZAHRA] Look, you have a
personal interest, right?

Yes. So let me do something.

[DANIEL] Just send me the names, please.

- Zahra, we need you.
- [SIGHS]

Zahra, I'm good at what I do,

so I'm not just gonna
sit here doing nothing.

Look, Daniel, I-I'm... I'm
sorry, okay? I've gotta go.

[AUTOMATED VOICE MAIL]
Please leave a message after the tone.

Operation has commenced.

The plane is under control. Your move.

- [DEEVIA SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY]
- [JAMIE] No.

[DEEVIA] Can you just ask him, please?

[JAMIE] Look, I said I'll... I'll
ask, but I know what it's gonna be.

Just stay there.

Two and a half hours in.

We'd have been sat in
our seats until now.

This is when it was
meant to have started.

Does that mean you've made the call?

And? Are they happy? What did they say?

[SIGHS] That's the thing.

It was just a voice mail.

Uh, the cabin crew woman,
she... she wants to talk.

I just wanted to mention,

we'd normally be preparing
the meal service right now.

Now, you probably don't
want us doing that today.

- No.
- Right.

And I get that, but I'm telling you,
I've been doing this for years.

The hungrier and thirstier
they get, the harder it gets.

Nobody's eating. Yeah?

All right. Just putting it out there.

Water, one each. That's it.

[ALICE] ATC Bucharest just called.

[LYDIA] Again?

No, not in an angry way. They're
like bingo callers, these people.

- [ALICE] They just keep on going.
- Aren't you one of these people?

Yes. Which is how I know.

[ALICE] But if we don't talk to
them, this will escalate very quickly.

- [PHONE RINGING]
- Okay.

Heidi.

Full manifest from Kingdom Airlines,

all names run through
the police national computer.

Go on.

[HEIDI] Only one with
any serious convictions.

Attempted m*rder, two
counts of armed robbery,

released from prison
just three weeks ago.

- [ZAHRA] Name?
- Collins. Jonty Collins. Seat C.

[ZAHRA] One? That's it?

[SIGHS] We put far less faith in
the public than that, don't we?

Are you sure there's no one else?

[SIGHS] I mean, there are lesser ones.

One for repeated drink driving offenses.

One for trying to take
the blame for her partner's

repeated drink driving offenses.

One for VAT fraud.

[ZAHRA] Yeah, uh, look,
did you check everything?

Yes.

Uh, watch list, databases. Have
you gone through all of that?

- I did what you asked me to do.
- Yeah, okay. Thank you.

[EXHALING SHARPLY]

[COLETTE] Water?

- [ARTHUR] Water?
- [COLETTE] Water?

- Water?
- Yes, please.

[COLETTE] Water, sir?

[ARTHUR] Do you want some water?

[DEEVIA] Water, madam?

[COLETTE] Still or sparkling?

[DEEVIA] Water? And you?

[PASSENGER ] Water,
please. I'll take some.

- [COLETTE] Water?
- [PASSENGER ] Yes.

[DEEVIA] Water?

[COLETTE] Water? Take it, madam.

- [DEEVIA] Water?
- [ARTHUR WHISPERING] Put your table down.

- Sorry?
- [ARTHUR SIGHS]

Still or sparkling?

- [COLETTE] Water?
- I'm okay.

- [ARTHUR] Which did you see?
- [COLETTE] Water?

If it was A, do nothing.

If it was B, and you're sure it's B...

[HIJACKER] Believe me, I won't.

... turn on your reading light.

I'm good.

Here. Have some.

- [ARTHUR] Take one.
- [COLETTE] Thank you, pass it down.

[DEEVIA] Water?

Water, anyone?

[PASSENGER] Yes, I'll take some.

[ARTHUR] Water?

[CAR HORNS HONKING]

- [FOREIGN SECRETARY] I'm not walking.
- [AIDE] No.

[PERSON ON RADIO SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY]

We could Boris bike.

No, quite right. I take
that back immediately.

No hijacking's worth that.

They really think
that's what's happened?

Increasingly.

[HORNS HONKING]

- What about police escort?
- How long will that take to come?

Fifteen, .

And if we did walk?

Ten, ?

[SIGHING]

- Oh, okay. [INHALES SHARPLY] Right. Yeah.
- Mm-hmm.

[FOREIGN SECRETARY] Come on.

[INHALES DEEPLY]

Arthur?

[DEEVIA] Water? Water, sir?

[ARTHUR CLEARS THROAT]

I think we can all see what's
going on here, can't we? [SIGHS]

No need for a reading light.

Not in the middle of the day.

Shall we switch it off?

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

Are you sure?

Yeah. We're all sure.

Aren't we, girls?

[HIJACKER] What was all that?

- [ARTHUR] Uh...
- All that moving about back there.

Sorry, uh, it was just
a passenger crying.

Just a girl in B.

[SIGHS] B for blanks.

Tell him he was right.
This changes everything.

[LINE RINGING]

[ZAHRA] Daniel.

[DANIEL] I ran all the
names through the PNC.

There's only one that comes up

with any sort of
serious criminal record.

Yes. I know, I know. Collins.

[DANIEL] Collins.
[SIGHS] Here's the thing.

Five of the names don't come up at all.

[DANIEL] There are five
passengers on that plane

that fail to register on
any national database.

The passports... The
passports are valid somehow.

But the five people
I've just sent you...

they do not exist.

- Lydia?
- [DANIEL] I have to go.

[ZAHRA] This is it. [SIGHS]
These are our hijackers.

[HUGO] If everyone on this
plane knew what we know,

we could take these guys down.

We could do it right now.

No, Hugo, we have to be smart.

Can't get into a brawl.
It's just you and me.

We can't afford to put any of
the other passengers at risk.

Wait. What? You and me?

- You were the one pushing for this.
- Yeah, I know but I d...

You want to be a part of
everything that happens...

- I did wanna be a part of...
- ... so this is it. Right now, okay?

We isolate one of them, the most
vulnerable one. [INHALES SHARPLY]

We take him out, check his g*n
and move on to the next, yes?

[SIGHING] Oh, God.
[BREATHES DEEPLY] Okay.

The old guy at the back, he's got
the most passengers to look after.

There's no one on the
other side. He's isolated.

If we get to him, we take him out.

You don't say that in front of children.

- [SIGHS] Okay, this is our chance.

[BREATHLESSLY] I don't,
uh... I don't think I can...

[BREATHES HEAVILY] I
don't think I can do it.

[HIJACKER] I'm gonna teach
