Airport Page #10

That nice young man

at the gate took it.

No, he wouldn't do that.

If it was a round-trip ticket,

you'd still have the return flight coupon.

If it was a one-way

you'd still have the ticket stub

and boarding folder.

You're English, aren't you?

I knew it the moment

you started to talk.

You make our language

sound so delightful.

My late husband used to say...

Never mind what he said.

What about your ticket?

I'll certainly look, my dear,

but I'm sure...

Why don't you stop wasting my time,

mrs. Quonsett.

You are mrs. Ada Quonsett,

aren't you?

Since you're aware of who I am

there's no use denying it, is there?

If there's some misunderstanding,

perhaps I can help.

There's no misunderstanding.

Are you traveling with this lady?

No.

Then it's none of your business, sir.

This woman is a stowaway.

Are we going to turn back?

You're not that important.

When we land in Rome,

you'll be handed over to the authorities.

Come with me.

The captain has to make

a report on you.

But first, he'd like to see you.

Would you let this lady out, please?

The captain wants to see me?

He doesn't like to be kept waiting.

Now come on.

There's no need

to treat her like a criminal.

That's exactly what she is.

Imagine shoving an old lady like that.

I've never seen anything

like it in my whole life.

I can't believe she's a stowaway.

Mrs. Quonsett, I'm captain Demerest.

This is captain Harris.

Would you come forward

as far as you can?

Captain...

Please sit down, mrs. Quonsett.

I'm sorry to be a trouble to you

but I was on my way to New York

to visit my poor daughter who's...

Then why'd you get on this flight?

Because according to the schedule

the next flight back from Rome

is to New York,

and it's your number five.

I thought they'd want

to get rid of me quickly

so they'd put me on that plane.

Mrs. Quonsett, if you help us,

I promise you

you'll get to take trips

to New York first class.

Thank you. But how can I help?

Mrs. Quonsett, whatever happened

back there just now, you can forget.

That's not the reason

you were brought here.

Mrs. Quonsett,

I hope I didn't hurt you.

No, not much.

Ma'am, are you frightened easily?

No.

I get nervous sometimes,

but not as much as I used to.

When you get older, there isn't

a lot left to be frightened of.

Good. All right, now.

You listen very carefully.

Global Two, this is Toronto Centre.

Your position is 15 miles east

of Kleinburg Intersection.

- Say altitude.

- Level at 280.

Request continued slow descent.

Roger.

What altitude do you wish?

Request flight level 210.

Roger. Continue slow descent.

Maintain flight level 210.

Mel.

I just talked to the other commissioners

and they all agree with me.

So as not to have any more trouble

with the Meadowood residents

I'm instructing you to shut

the airport down until 7:00 a.m.

Read this.

A dispatch we just sent.

The plane's on its way back here.

You still want us to shut down?

Under the circumstances, I...

Global Two, Toronto Centre.

Continue slow descent.

Whatever she's done,

you don't have to be rough.

Please don't interfere.

Ask the captain to reconsider.

I don't want to be handed

over to the Italian police.

You should've thought of that before.

Get in your seat.

All I ask is to be sent back.

Please don't hand me over

in a foreign country.

Can't you see the lady's upset?

I told you to keep out of this.

Now sit down and be quiet.

You hurt me. You hurt me.

Stop it! You're hysterical!

Help me! Please help me!

No!

That's his personal property!

You've got no right to take that!

- Break it up!

- No!

You stay where you are!

Don't try to get any closer.

Guerrero, listen to me.

Do you hear me? Listen.

They know about you on the ground.

Your insurance is no good.

It's canceled. It's worthless.

No one has ever gotten away

with a thing like this.

No one has ever collected a penny.

You won't help your family.

You'll only hurt them.

You'll kill yourself for nothing

if you explode that bomb.

Stay where you are.

Your family will be

hounded and blamed.

Listen to me. Think.

Guerrero, let these people

sit down, and we'll talk.

I promise, until you're ready,

no one will come close.

Sit down.

Guerrero, you know now

that you've failed.

The only way you can help your family

is to give me that case.

Give me the case.

If you do, I promise that no one

on this plane will hurt you.

Grab him! He's got a bomb!

Get on oxygen.

Mayday. Mayday.

Trans Global Two. Decompression.

Making emergency descent.

Request one-zero-thousand.

Roger. Descend and maintain

one-zero-thousand.

Report your intentions when ready.

Global Two, Toronto Centre.

We're level at one-zero-thousand.

Returning to heading 270.

We have damage due to explosion.

Extent unknown.

Turn on all the heat you've got.

Can we maintain control?

The rudder's heavy

and the stabilizer trim won't respond

but at least the tail didn't fall off.

Where'd he pull the trigger?

Starboard can.

Go back and check the damage

and report by inter-phone.

According to the manifest,

there's three doctors aboard.

Let's hope they're not dentists.

They're probably pitching in already.

Get anybody else that can help.

And find out about Gwen.

I'm so cold. I'm terribly cold.

Put him on the walker.

I'm gonna cut off the oxygen.

All right.

You all can breathe normally.

Take off your masks

and fasten your seat belts.

Here you go. Please.

You can breathe normally.

You can take off the mask.

Fasten your seat belt.

Anything I can do to help?

Come on, sergeant.

Are you all right there?

Can we get a blanket?

Fasten your seat belt.

Stewardess, if there's any brandy

on board, pass it out.

Pardon me. Doctor?

Yes, sister?

Press that hard.

May we have a blanket?

Are you all right?

May I help you?

No, I'm all right, thank you.

Take care of that man behind me.

How is her pulse, sister?

Weak.

I have adrenalin

and syringes in my bag.

Will you prepare a shot?

Will it hold?

As soon as I get this blanket

wedged in here.

Joan.

As soon as they're patched up,

move them all forward.

Stow the center armrests.

Put four people in three seats.

Right.

Go ahead.

The hole is about three to four feet.

What about control surfaces?

Can you see anything?

Possible damage to rudder power.

And it looks like

we have stabilizer problems.

Most of the blast, thank God,

went sideways.

Can we stay in the air an hour?

Hard to tell.

There's a tear in the ceiling

from the top of the hole

all the way over to the port side.

Think there's a rupture

in the outer skin?

I don't know. Could be.

What about the passengers?

I can't say anything definite yet.

I checked the structural damage first.

What I did see was less

than I expected.

Some cuts and bruises

and shock and puking.

Medical help good.

I'm going to cut off

the passenger oxygen.

How's Gwen?

Pretty bad shape.

The doctor's working on her.

I'll report when I can.

Sounds like the break
