01x02 - Rewind

[bunniefuu]

Tell me your name.

Tell me who you really are.

Because until there's a name,

Everything is a lie.

I'm entitled to
know who you are.

All right.

Then at least explain to me

What the hell is going on.

Plane's on fire.

I'm aware

The plane's on fire.

I'm also aware that
we lost the captain

And the first officer
to smoke inhalation.

And I let a guy claiming
to be an insurance salesman

Into the c*ck because he
promised he could handle it.

I'm not an insurance salesman.

I'm private security.

I'm protecting a
client on this flight,

Which pretty much means
I'm protecting everybody

On this flight at this point.

Have a seat.
I could use the help.

My help?

You do realize I'm
just a stewardess.

Flight attendant.

Have a seat.

In my business,
the cyber-security business,

Sometimes you're
nothing but a name.

Which was why casper
felt safe coming to me.

I'm sorry, mr. Tennant.

Casper? Is that
a person's name?

An alias.

Occasionally,
I'll hire freelance hackers

To test our security defenses.

Casper is one of the best.

He's also one of
the most paranoid.

All I've ever known
is a screen name.

Casper's latest attack exposed

A flaw in the architecture
of the internet itself.

Imagine being able to
bypass any security measure.

Any firewall.

Any password.

Hold on a second.
What are you saying?

That your guy is sitting on
some sort of skeleton key

To the internet?

No.

The skeleton key.

The end of information
security as we know it.

Casper agreed to fly

To my headquarters in seattle

To deliver the key
and help us patch

The flaw that
allows it to work.

He was due to arrive tonight.

But then last night,

Someone broke into my office.

They k*lled a security guard

To get access to my computer.

The only thing they accessed

Was my correspondence
with casper.

So they have all of his
flight information.

Well, I assume you told
casper not to board.

I have no way to
contact casper.

Casper contacts me.

That's the number one
rule of these people--

Always remain anonymous.

Can you help me?

You know, with this thing,

You could hack into
the federal reserve,

Steal billions.

Air traffic control.

Crash planes in mid-air.

So what you're saying

Is there any thief or
t*rror1st in the world

Who wouldn't k*ll to
get their hands on it.

Casper'll be anonymous
before he gets on the plane.

And then he'll be protected

By tennant's men in seattle

When he gets off,

But if you know
what flight he's on,

He's just one of a
few dozen passengers.

Safe bet that whoever
broke in t tnant's office

Is gonna try to grab
casper on this flight.

So board the plane,

Identify the principal
and the threat,

Neutralize the latter,
save the former,

The world keeps on spinning.

Right. You are martin gill.

Head of sales at the
quality mutual insurance.

Corporate's just tagged you

To open a new branch

In seattle. Mazel tov.

Insurance salesman. Lovely.

I figured it'd be a way
for you to chat people up

Without drawing any attention.

Hey, you still
have that pen thing

You used on that
job in nashville?

The detonator?

No, no, the one with the
little syringe on it.

Yeah. Why, you want it?

Identify the threat,

Sell him some insurance,
pop him full of ketamine,

He wakes up in a
squad car in seattle.

Sounds like a plan.

Flight's in three hours,
so we better get moving.

Oh, just, uh, one more thing.

There's two jobs
to be done at once.

Two unknowns to identify.

It'd be nice to have you
on the plane with me.

So I'll guard the hacker,

And you neutralize the threat.

Exactly.

Well, there's just
the question now

Of your cover.

Why are you smiling?

Well, one insurance salesman

Yapping at the passengers,
that's one thing.

But two, it's just
downright suspicious.

We can't really do that.

Plus, one of us should be able

To have free range
on the plane.

Why are you-- why the hell

Is he smiling?

What do you want?

Yeah, what's a guy got to do

To get a drink arndnderer

Oh, that's really funny.

We'll see how funny it is

When I'm serving time
in federal prison.

I told you,

My buddy in tsa's
got that covered.

What are you so upset about?

I got the hard part.

All you do is walk around
and talk to people.

Greetings from
the flight deck.

Current temperature in
seattle is 52 degrees and
raining.

Hey, a little help!

Oakland center,
pacific national 234.

Oakland center,
pacific national 234,

Do you copy?

Don't bother. The fire must
have reached the radio
antenna.

We don't have much time.

So what do we do?

We got to get enough air
blowing through the plane

To put out that fire.

So we speed up,

We open the landing
gear doors,

Open the ram vents
that control

The cabin pressure.

The switch for the landing
gear, it's right there.

Pull it.

It's not working.

Are you sure? Pretty sure.

All right, hold the yoke.

What are you doing? I'm
looking it up in the manual.

The manual.

You said you had a plan.

I thought you said you
knew what you were doing.

What I know is the radio
antenna is located

Midway down the fuselage,

And just past that is a
conduit relay for the wires

That control just about
everything on this plane.

Bingo.

If we don't put that fire out
before it reaches the relay,

We could have problems

What kind of problems?

The crashing kind.

I'm gonna open
these air vents,

See if I can get more
wind on the fire.

Well, don't crank it.

You could depressurize
the cabin.

What's the thermostat doing?

It's going up.

Fast.

This fire's closing in.

Son of a b*tch!

Oh, my god. He's been shot.

Somebody help!

Here, take this.

Put it on the wound
and apply pressure.

Buddy, buddy,

Listen to me.

You're gonna be fine.

Okay, we're gonna get
down on the ground,

Get you to a hospital.

Okay? You're gonna
be fine, okay?

Listen to me. Look at me.

Stay here with him.

Keep him talking.
Don't let him close his eyes.

Hey! hey!

Are we gonna make it?

The temperature's
still rising.

So... laura.

Laura. You seem to be
taking this pretty well.

They do train us for
this stuff, you know--

Hijackings, engine failures,

Disease outbreaks.

So you sat through
training for hijackings,

Engine failures,
and disease outbreaks,

And you still took the job.

Using small talk
to keep me calm?

Well, it seemelili a
good idea at the time.

Wanted more adventure
in my life.

To be honest,

I've been thinking
about a career move.

What, and give up all this?

What about you?

How does somebody
become a bodyguard?

Oh, I hated my old job.

Felt I had more potential.

Wow.

I guess we have some
things in common then.

So you're protecting someone
from a threat back there?

What's that?

Any idea who the threat is?

Not yet.

If the threat to
casper's on the plane,

It's gonna be on that list.

I crossed off all the
regular commuters

And everyone who
boarded in london.

Hey, listen, what about 12c?

He seems nervous.

No, I caught him dozing
a little while ago.

12f is looking forward
to the prom next week.

11d called not one,
but two women to pick him up

At the airport.

What about the guy

In the front row
in the aisle seat?

I thought I saw a
bulge in his jacket.

Air marshal.

Really? Yeah.

Came through the exit lane
when I went through security.

Nobody stopped him.

We're not gonna get any
answers from the list.

You know what I'm thinking?

Hardly ever.

We pull a crazy eddie.

Put on a show, see who reacts.

See who's too preoccupied
planning an abduction to care.

Any idea who can take
one for the team?

Oh, yeah, I got an idea.

Another bourbon and cola,
would you?

Right away, sir.

Got me sitting here, waiting.

You know, I take this
flight three times a month.

The least you people can do

Is keep me well-served.

I meant stewardesses.

All right, then, sir.

There you are, sir.

Thank you. My pleasure.

Oh, my god! oh, no.

Oh, what the hell?

Oh, no, I'm so sorry.

Oh, I apologize.
Here's a tissue to wipe...

Just one? Can I have
another one, please?

Of course. Yes, sir.

We have cornstarch in the
galley if you can wait...

Cornstarch.
What am I gonna do with--

It'll soak that right up.

Look at this!

Can I have some help?

Look at me, I'm m aked.

I'm wet.

Someone's targeting
a client of mine.

Hacker.

Recently broke through phil
tennant's latest firewall.

These are the other
hackers that tennant hires

On a regular basis.

I'm guessing one of
them's behind the threat.

And dude, you're gonna help
me figure out which one.

Reliant1864,

Bluehorseshoe, doctorbell-15,

Rubberpoultry.

So cool, I take it you u
ow who these guys are?

Of course.

These guys are world-class.

It also means they're ghosts.

You're giving me screen names.

I can't do anything with that.

All right, dude.

Here.

Phone numbers of six of
the best break-in crews

In seattle.

Guy we're looking for
called one of them

To arrange a hit on
tennant's offices, here.

Purchase history.

Every ticket on pacific
national's flight 234

From san francisco to seattle.

Dude, that's three
distinct data sets.

You're telling
me you can't find

A way to triangulate
an answer?

Tell me if one of
tennant's hackers

Isn't behind this?

Could I do it?

Yeah, theoretically, but...

What makes you
think I'd want to?

But it's cool.

I'll get started.

Take your phone call.

This is guerrero.

It's winston.

Oh, hey, dude.

Could I get a gin and tonic

And an extra bag of pretzels?

Look, I'm closing
in on casper.

I'm down to five names
on the manifest.

I need you to run 'em for me.

I want you to look for
programming experience...

Give me their names.

I'll get sergei on it.

Who the hell is sergei?

He's a friend of mine.

I called him in
to help figure out

Who's behind the threat.

He's a real smart-a*s.

Expert at data-mining.

He's not using my
computer, is he?

Don't worry.

Your passwords
are safe with me.

I didn't give you
my passwords.

Just give me those names.

I'll get right on it.

Excuse me. Is this seat taken?

I don't know about you,
but if I have to sit alone

In these flights,
I go absolutely stir-crazy.

Martin gill.

Vincent morgan.

So what brings you
to seattle? Work?

Did you know there are
K*llers on this plane,
vincent?

Heart disease, diabetes,
mesothelioma.

Silent K*llers
claiming the lives

Of thousands of men
your age every year.

You want to tell me why
you're really on this plane?

I'm not very good at this.

I hate flying.

So I took a couple
of percocets.

Are you sure you didn't
take more than a couple?

What?

Hey, you there?

Yup.

False alarm.

What do you got?

I just got off the
phone with the pilots.

You'll never guess
what's gonna happen

In about ten seconds.

We're changing course.

Yeah, they're reporting
an electrical malfunction

That keeps tripping the
breakers in the back.

Nothing catastrophic,
but enough that we'll have

To divert to portland.

You thinking what
I'm thinking?

One way to sneak casper

Past tennant's men in seattle

Is not to let him
get to seattle.

Mm-hmm. Force the plane
down in portland.

Another set of kidnappers
waiting on the ground.

I'm gonna go to the back
and see what I can see.

Excuse me, vincent.

It sounds like
you're underwater.

I know.

Circuits look all right.

Scratch that.

Panel's been tampered with.

You were right.

Looks like our threat

Used this to divert the plane.

Winston, I got him.

I was worried there
for a minute.

Yeah, well, rest easy.

I promise no more surprises
at least until we land.

Cabin pressure's
at the red line.

We can't open up these
vents any further.

It's not gonna
be enough, is it?

Really hoped it
wouldn't come to this.

What?

We need more airflow
to put out the fire.

And right now the strongest
winds are blowing above us.

The fire's below us.

Not for long.

We're gonna flip the plane.

I'm sorry, you want to
do what to the plane?

I want to flip it.

It will put the fire into
the heavier airstream

Flowing above us.

It'll blow it out like
a birthday candle.

What difference does it make

If the fire's out if you
end up crashing the plane?

What difference does it make
if the plane is right-side up

And the fire kills us?

Look, done right,
it's just a one-g maneuver.

I've done plenty of on
e-g maneuvers.

I've done a cuban eight.
Did a hammerhead once.

You ever done this?

On a simulator.

It was a very good simulator.

Oh, my god.

Look, I know it sounds crazy,

But the only thing
that matters right now

Is putting this fire out.

If you got any better ideas,
I'm all ears.

Hey.

Bet you can't guess what's
gonna happen in ten seconds.

You're kidding me.

You are kidding me.

No, it's gonna be fine.

You're gonna get a little
jostled around back there.

Make sure everyone is on
the left side of the plane,

Especially casper.

I don't want to have come
this far and lose our
protectee

To a broken neck.

Yeah. All right, I got casper.

So dude, did you
find the hacker yet?

Negative.

But please tell me
you found something

To help me find casper.

Nope. Ran a background
on the names you gave me.

Nobody stands out
as the hacker.

There's nobody
else on that list.

Well, dude, maybe you
got the profile wrong.

My profile is not wrong.

It's just thin.

We're looking for
a human being,

Between the ages of 16 and 60,

Who boarded in san francisco.

You sure about that last part?

Tennant traced one
of casper's I.M.S

To a library in the haight,
so yeah,

I'm pretty sure
he boarded in...

What?

Hey, how hard would it be
to forge a boarding pass?

Federal air marshal.

Turn around.

Let me see your hands.

What happened here?

I thought I saw
something back here.

I came to check it out,
and this guy pops around

And attacks me.

Give me some I.D.

Slowly.

All right.

No offense, but I got no way

Of knowing who was
attacking who.

I'm gonna have to cuff you.
Against the wall.

Hands behind your back.

Excuse me.

Mind if I sit down?

Ooh, boy,
my feet are k*lling me.

How's your trip so far?

Oh, fine.

I noticed on the manifest
you boarded in london.

Holiday? Yeah.

Unless you didn't board
in london, of course.

Excuse me?

Oh, no, I was just saying,

"unless, of course,
you didn't board in london."

See, you could
have just bought

Your ticket from
there and boarded

In san francisco when
the plane touched down.

All you'd need is a
forged boarding pass.

That way, anybody
looking for a hacker

From san francisco would
look right past you.

I don't know what
you're talking about.

Hmm, no baggage claim checks.

You flew all the way
to london for two weeks

And didn't check any bags.

You're casper.

And you're not a
flight attendant.

Tennant hired me
to keep you safe.

Tennant never said anything

About sendinmeone
on the plane.

That was before he knew
you were in danger.

Listen.

You' r rig to
take precautions.

There are people after you.

After that skeleton key.

Now I don't want you to worry.

My partner and I
are professionals.

We've got the situation
completely under control.

Would you excuse
me just a moment?

Federal air marshal.

Excuse me. What's going on?

There was a fight
in the back galley.

This man was involved.
There's another man back
there.

He's unconscious.

One of them snuck
a g*n on board.

How'd they do that?

Probably bribed a
ground crew guy

To plant the g*n
before takeoff.

I don't know anything more.

I'm gonna restrain 'em
both till we land.

Notify the c*ck.

Tell them we need police
assistance when we land.

I'm gonna go get
the other guy,

Bring him up here too.

You stay here and
keep an eye on him.

Yeah. Okay.

What? What am I
supposed to do?

He had a g*n and that
little bae thing.

Well, listen.
I found the hacker.

And the threat's out cold.

I still don't know what
to do about portland,

But I guess things
could be worse.

Like what?

Maybe a second
kidnapper on the plane

With us, for example?

Second kidnapper?

There's a phone in my pocket.

I got it from the
saboteur in the back.

Don't be shy.

Check the inbox.

All right.
I'm gonna go get casper.

Bring her up here so
you can watch her.

I'll get started looking
for our second bad guy.

You smell smoke?

Up here.

The smoke must have gotten
into the oxygen supply

And overwhelmed them before
they could signal for help.

Where's that smoke
coming from?

I don't know.

Computer says there's no fire
in the engines or in cargo.

It's in the fuselage.

Frayed wire must have
ignited the insulation.

How did you get loose?
It's not important.

What's important is
putting that fire out,

And I can help. Help?

For all I know,

You could have started this

In the first place.

Back away from the c*ck.

I get it.

It's confusing.
We got a pilot down.

But we need to act quickly,

So unless you've got a plan--

Yeah, I'm going in there.

Air traffic control can
talk me through this.

By the time they talk
you through that panel,

This whole thing
isonna be over with.

You need to trust me.
I know what I'm doing.

Maybe we should listen to him.

Shut up. Hey, it's simple.

You go in there and
lock that door,

Everybody dies, period.

Stop!

What the hell are you doing?

He has a plan.

You don't.

You're making a huge mistake.

Look out.

I'm entitled to
know who you are.

Have a seat.
I could use the help.

My help?

You do realize I'm
just a stewardess.

Flight attendant.

Have a seat.

I'm sorry, you're gonna
do what to the plane?

I want to flip it. Oh, my god.

When the plane starts to roll,

Stay on the cabin wall.

Try to get to the ceiling
as fast as you can.

I shouldn't be worried, right?

It's all under control?

It's gonna be fine.

All right.
Are you ready to do this?

There's a pretty good chance

We're about to die,
isn't there?

What kind of answer are
you looking for here?

I just thought I'd
be more afraid.

That's your adrenaline.

Let's go.

Keep the throttle steady.

Laura, we got to
stay like this

Until the fire's out.

Look! I think it's working.

All right.

Now for the hard part.

I'm goa flip us back.

Uh-oh.

What?

I lost the stick.

Thruster too.
Controls aren't responding.

What does that mean?

In technical terms?

I think we broke the plane.

Engines are lit.

Controls aren't responding.

We're stuck on this course.

I think it's the
flight computer.

I think it's
switched to autopilot

And just locked us out.

Why?

I don't know,

But we got to talk
to somebody who does.

Well, how long can
we stay like this?

Not for long.

At this angle of descent,

We're headed straight
for some storm clouds.

And at this speed,
we should be in them

In about ten minutes.

Well, what happens then?

Well.

I'm fairly certain the
plane gets ripped apart.

Good news.

The fire's out.

Your maneuver must have
crashed the flight computer.

Simply couldn't process
what was happening.

I know how it feels.

What if we shut it off?

Could we get the
controls then?

Pilot controls, sure.

But we can't roll the
plane back safely

Without the computer's help.

Couldn't we justebebtt the
computer or something?

Winston, it's a passenger jet,

Not a laptop. Actually...

He's not that far off.

I imagine the flight
computer's a couple years old.

Probably, like, 800
megahertz processing power.

Sure.

Well, most laptops
are just as powerful.

Mine certainly is.

What are you saying?

Well, I'm saying
if I could download

The flight management
software to my laptop,

We wouldn't need to fix
the plane's computer.

We could just use mine.

You want to replace the
flight computer with a laptop?

That coffee maker
in your galley--

They flew to the moon with
a chip 1/10th that size.

These are not
advanced systems.

Okay, so where do
we get the software?

This is the manufacturer's
internal network.

Oh, the skeleton key.

Downloading now.

How long? Five minutes.

We'll be in the storm
by then, won't we?

It's cutting it close,

But we don't have
any other choice.

Hey, brooke says we're
going to have to patch

The new computer in manually.

Where's the avionics bay?

It's right here behind
the front wheel well,

But I can't find
any access panels.

That's because it's on
the bottom of the plane.

Avionics aren't meant to
be accessed in the air.

No, wait a minute,
there's a vent

On this end of the
cargo compartment.

We'll have to
crawl to reach it,

But it's big enough for us
to get into the wheel well.

That's not on the schematic.

Are you sure?

Yes, I'm sure.

I used to date a
ground crew guy.

I know things about
the plane I shouldn't.

Do I need to
explain more? Sure.

Listen, won't it be
cold as hell down there?

You mean up there.

Yeah, it's gonna be freezing.

What if you go all that way,
and there's no vent?

The vent is there.

I know it.

I trusted you.
Now you got to trust me.

Look, man, I'm sorry

About the whole stormin
g-the-c*ck thing.

And you think this is
gonna ma up for it?

Well, I can't worry
about that right now.

The saboteur you
pulled out of the back,

There's somebody else in the
cabin who's helping him.

Look, you want to tell me
what this is all about?

Long story. I'll tell you
when we're on the ground.

What's he waiting for? What?

The second guy.

His buddy's been chained up

Ever since we
opened the c*ck.

All that confusion,

He had every opportunity
to help his friend.

Why didn't he?

We got about five minutes
until the storm hits.

We should move.

I'm about to do
the craziest thing

I've ever done in
my life with you,

And I don't even
know your name.

I think we both know
it isn't martin gill.

It's christopher chance.

Is it?

Laptop's ready.

Let's go.

Guerrero man, bad news. Yeah?

Yeah.

I struck out.

Can't find who hired
the kidnappers.

You're kidding.

I mean, if there was
a connection there,

It would have come up.

I threw the book at it, man.

Anyways, um,

I'm really sorry.

If there's anything else I
can do, you let me know.

Thanks, dude.

Hey, sergei.

Let me ask you a question.

Yeah, sh**t.

Say a guy comes to you,

Says here's a key.

This key'll open
any safe anywhere.

Money, jewels,
secrets in this world--

Suddenly at your fingertips.

Now that would be tempting,
my friend.

Don't you think? Yeah.
Yeah, it would be.

Do you take it?

No.

That's right.

You and I both know
something that powerful

Would instantly
make you a target.

But let's just say, um,

Hypothetically, someone like,

I don't know, you,
were to identify a hacker

With plans to steal the
keys to the entire internet.

And let's say you
were to lie about it

To someone like, uh, say, me,

So that you could
strike your own deal

And get rich quick.

I guess what I'm saying,
sergei, is...

You and I would
have real problems.

Mostly you.

Do you understand what
I'm saying to you?

I just thought of something.

What do you know? It worked.

Found your guy.

Folks, when the plane
starts to roll,

I want you to keep
your heads down.

Just try to get strapped in

As quickly as you can.

Okay.

That lightning looks close.

All right, come on now.
Settle in.

The plane could
roll any second.

Winston, you there?

Yeah, go ahead.

We're going into
the wheel well.

I'll signal you when the
computer's hooked up.

All right, listen,
brooke says it's gonna take

A couple of minutes for
the software to engage.

Just make sure that you're
back inside the plane by then.

Believe me, no one's looking
to hang around here.

Hey.

They're in the wheel well.

Get ready.

We're running out of time.

Okay, winston, we're on.

Computer's up.

They're disengaging it now.

Get out of there.

Hey.

Seatbelt light's on.

Let's go.

Are you looking for this?

I took it off you
in the cargo bay.

I figured if I asked
for permission,

You probably would
have said no.

You knew.

Let's go down inside.
We'll talk about it.

I'm t t gog to prison.

That's not what
I'm suggesting.

You said before you're
looking for a career change?

So what?

I come work for you?

Pay taxes?

Get a dog?

I'm wearing the clothes
of a dead woman.

I k*lled her to
get on this plane.

This is what I do.

You're not as stuck
as you think you are.

There is another way.

How would you know?

Like I said earlier,

I used to hate my job too.

Okay, everybody, hold on.

Tell me your name.

Answer it. Go on.

Nick chepekian?

Yes.

The same nick chepekian
that hired the kidnappers

On flight 234?

Put a team of g*ons
on the tarmac

Waiting to capture the
hacker known as casper?

I don't know what
you're talking about.

Nick, say a guy comes to you,

Says, "here's a key.

This key'll open
any safe anywhere."

Do you take it?

Hey.

You think laura got
our descriptions

To that second
team on the ground?

Heads up.

Tsa with cornrows.

Mr. Chance.

Guerrero sent us. That way.

Got a car waiting
at the back exit.

Figured you wouldn't want
to answer any questions

With the police.

Hey, what about that team
they sent to pick up casper?

Don't worry about them.

Stay behind me.

Well, mr. Tennant,

This is casper.

It's brooke.

Brooke hammel.

It's nice to meet you, brooke.

I'm glad you made it.

Please, come in.

So tennant got us a couple
of first-class tickets

To fly home.

Yeah? Yeah.

That was nice of him,
right? Yeah.

Yeah.

Hey, um, wrereine
to fly home, right?

Yeah. We should
take the train.

You all right?

Can I ask you a question?

Do you remember what you said
when we first started all
this?

Yeah, I told you you can take

That flight attendant uniform
and shove it up your--

No, no, no, not today.

In the beginning.

Yeah, I told you you
wewen't as stuck

As you thought.

I told you there
was another way.

How'd you know I'd go for it?

I didn't.

Let's go home.

Yeah.

Hey, listen, um,

You know, for the record,

This is the last time I'm
going out in the field with
you.

Right.

Look, I don't give a damn

How many unknown
variables there are.

Yeah, you think
I'm joking, right?

Look into my eyes.
I'm not joking.

Watch the road, will you?

Oh, oh, I'm sorry.

Do you feel unsafe?

Hold on a second while I
flip the car upside-down.

Then maybe you'll feel better.
