Chariot Page #5

---

I know what that means?

We're going to take care of you.

You just lie still.

No, I'm fine.

I'm going to see my boy, right?

Yeah.

And Lynn...

Did-did I tell you how,

how we met?

No.

It was on a plane.

Can you believe that?

God, she's...

she was so beautiful.

She was so beautiful.

Cole?

Nice shooting.

Who are you?!

Moss.

Captain Kaleb W.

United States Air Force.

You're not authorized

to be in this cockpit.

Save me your

bullshit rules, Captain!

You fired on

innocent civilians!

Who's the dead guy?

First Lieutenant Boyd.

Cole, get his gun.

Pilot has one, too.

Holster, right side.

Why aren't there holes

all over this plane?

It's 40 caliber, low velocity.

They go through bodies

not steel.

You've damaged the Avionics,

Goddammit!

Jesus!

Can I get some

first aid in here?!

Hayden, Ra,

let's get him out of there.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Wait a sec.

This...

This thing's on autopilot

or something, right?

You need to get some

pressure on that wound.

We've got some questions for you.

I don't know sh*t.

These...

Anybody got medical training?

I took CPR.

That's all.

We boring you?

I just need a second.

See what you can do.

The situation is "not"

what I expected.

Things are starting to unravel.

Genevieve?

You all right in there?

Who were you talking to?

That question was for you.

Genevieve?

You a praying man, Cole?

Are you?

Never had much use for it.

You mean it never worked?

That's another way to put it.

Last time I prayed

I was pregnant.

My husband and I prayed

for a healthy baby boy.

Oh, yeah?

It worked.

Except that a week after

my son was born,

my husband died

in a hunting accident.

And I never reconciled

why I had to give up

one for another.

Why after I prayed and

prayed did my reason

for smiling every day was gone.

So, I joined the Service,

strapped on a sidearm...

since then

I've killed 11 people.

I'm not sure that all

of them deserved it,

but I'm sure that God did.

That's some harsh business,

lady.

I was talking to God

for the first time in 20 years.

I don't know

if it was a prayer,

but I am sure

that it was a question.

What?

Is today the day?

So the bomb was a trick?

Bet you people think

you're real clever, don't you?

No, just determined.

How bad are you hurt?

Bad enough.

Then you got nothing to lose

by helping us.

- I've got my orders.

- Screw your orders!

You want to bleed

to death up here?

Listen to me.

It's world war llI down there.

You people,

you're just civilians.

Civilians who were smart enough

to smoke you out of the cockpit.

Please, Captain.

We've got to help each other.

It's the only chance we've got.

It's the only chance

you've got.

What the hell do you want?

We were on the phone

with a Major Collins.

He said he tried to hail you.

I was under instructions

not to...

Not to talk to anyone.

We know.

He said that Andrews

was destroyed...

I believe the phrase was

"Field of Fire. "

And that attempting to

land there would be suicide.

Which is why

he needs to talk to you.

Are you sure about NORAD?

Yeah.

Why wouldn't we be?

'Cause they were

third on the list.

If you're right about Andrews,

the command would've been

transferred to the NSA

at Fort Meade.

If that went down,

then it's onto NORAD.

That means

Baltimore, Washington...

Houston, Denver...

God knows where else.

Toast.

NORAD command center,

Chariot 2-5 Heavy.

NORAD,

this is Chariot 2-5 Heavy

acknowledging "Hail. "

Come in please?

This is encouraging.

NORAD, acknowledge.

Can anyone copy?

Andrews tower, this is Chariot.

- Andrews?

- Unbelievable.

There's no one left to answer.

I told you,

radio silence is protocol.

I'm thirsty.

I'll get you some water.

So where are you

going to put us down?

I'm not.

We can't just fly around forever.

Look at your fuel gage.

And your hands

are shaking badly.

You let me

worry about the fuel.

And let me explain flying

to all of you.

When you move up here,

you move one move at a time.

So what's our first move?

We take a look.

What do you mean?

I mean, we're flying blind.

It's night.

We're almost in a stratosphere.

In order to see

what's going on down there,

I've got to get

this bird below the clouds.

So what're you waiting for?

Do you understand

there's a reason

we're flying twice as high

as regular jets?

Down there

we're totally vulnerable.

We get it.

What do you need?

More water.

On it.

And a co-pilot.

What?

I need a co-pilot.

I'm seeing spots.

And in case you forgot,

I've got a slug

swimming around in my chest.

Doesn't anyone

have flying experience up here?

Goddammit!

No, no one.

I drive a big rig.

I'm afraid that's as

close as you're gonna get.

Take a seat.

We are so screwed.

Belt yourselves in tight.

This could be

one hell of a rough ride.

No one besides Michael

has talked about their family.

Doesn't anyone else

have family?

Kids?

I have a cat...

had a cat.

I have a son.

Wouldn't have pegged you

for the mother type.

How old?

Seventeen.

- You?

- Kids?

No, not... not yet.

You married?

Engaged once,

but I called it off.

He was moving too fast.

He was talking about

two kids before I even knew

who my bridesmaids were.

It all seems

so unimportant now.

Bring the room down emily.

I'm just saying,

I always thought

there would be

more time for things.

It's all about time, isn't it?

You always think

you're going to have more.

What about you, Ra?

All I care about right now

is this piece of sh*t makes it.

Me, too.

It will.

And what makes you so sure?

Just a feeling.

- Oh, God!

- It's okay.

Moss knows what he's doing.

What do you need me to do here?

Just keep your hands

on that Yoke.

I don't have any strength.

That chop we're feeling

is a cloud cover.

We'll be out of it

in just a minute.

Keep your eyes peeled.

You ever been shot?

You asking 'cause I'm black?

Here we go.

Look.

I don't believe it.

I-I don't understand.

Where's...

Where's the devastation?

Look at all the cars.

Where are the blackouts?

The fires?

Is that a football game

or something?

What the hell is this?

Are you seeing this?

I don't get it.

What the hell is going on?

It's a ruse.

Not that I have ever seen

a country under siege,

but that sure doesn't

look like one to me.

Give me the phone.

It's dead.

What are you doing?

Getting this

goddamn thing working.

We're being played.

- What are you doing?

- Getting some answers.

Why is there no power here?

They disconnected

the navigator station

when they updated the aircraft.

It's obsolete.

Goddammit!

Ease up, man.

Who would do this to us?

Who has the ability

to pull this sick trick

over on us?

This is good news.

There's not an attack.

We're going to be okay.

Yeah, it's good

news, but I just,

I can't stop

asking myself a question.

You mean "why?"

Ra!

Pocket knife.

With the knife out.

What are you doing?

Using the planes power

to charge this battery.
