Chariot Page #6
I want to get some real news.
Now we've got Internet.
Just like we thought,
no Armageddon.
I'm wondering
what the hell is this?
- What do you got?
- Breaking news:
US Secretary of Transportation
killed in traffic accident.
- What?
- Local authorities say
44-year-old Michael Deck
was the only fatality
in the one-car crash
which occurred
less than an hour ago
on a stretch of I-45
south of the city.
You've got to be kidding me?
- This can't be happening.
- What is it?
The dead man
they're talking about
is the guy your co-pilot
shot and killed.
How could he have died
in the car crash in Houston
when he's obviously
up here dead with us?
- This make no sense.
- It does
everything that's going on up here.
We're smack in the middle
of a sh*t storm.
What the hell is going on
with this opera-tion?
This is no longer
an operation, Captain.
Get this plane on the ground!
I'm, I'm rerouting us
They've got
a 7,000 foot runway.
Where's Genevieve?
She left a minute ago,
went to the back of the plane.
How's the praying coming along?
Fine.
You lying b*tch.
- I've tried to tell you.
- What? What goddammit?
What have you
tried to tell us?!
- Hey, take it easy!
- You take it easy!
What were you doing
in there, Genevieve?
It's not a gun!
Jesus!
Why would they
want to kill you?
I was talking to my Supervisor.
You have a phone?!
- Who's your Supervisor?
- You all know.
You've talked to him earlier.
It's Collins.
Oh, Christ.
This is a disaster!
Look,
I have tried to explain...
People are dead!
- I know that.
- Do you?
Do you even grasp the far reach
of your boss' insanity?
- You don't know why we're here!
- So fill us in.
This...
We're all part
of a dry run
of the Chariot Program.
The hell you say?
It's a dry run...
It's-it's a test
of the operation.
Keep talking.
There's a list of 191 people
who would be on this plane
in a real emergency.
We chose
a handful of them... you...
to try and poke holes
in the Program
to test your resolve,
your ability to work together.
You're telling me
that this was all part of some
sociological experiment?
No.
It-It's about
determining the soundness
of the Program.
There are millions of variables
in an operation like this...
Do you understand?
things that could go wrong.
And we had to consider
every possible scenario.
Like Belinda
killing her partner.
And me freaking out.
And us
getting into the cockpit.
In order to work,
the Program has to be
smarter than all of you.
The dry run was
necessary for funding.
You'll have to understand,
we're talking about
billions of dollars here.
And just when were you
going to tell us all this?
When this plane lands
you'll all be debriefed,
you'll sign
confidentiality agreements,
and you'll be
generously compensated
for the rest of your lives.
What about the dead people?
What about Michael?
I know.
I'm sorry.
Sometimes it's not pretty.
We have
cover stories developed.
Michael should be
hitting the air now.
This is some sick sh*t.
You know that?
You say that now, but if this
Program were ever needed...
Just tell us
when we're landing!
We'll be cleared for
Andrews any minute now.
We just need to re-establish
communications with Collins.
Give me that phone!
The number
you've reached is not in service.
This is a recording.
We'll try him from the cockpit.
What're you doing?
Calling someone
other than your buddy.
That phone is a dedicated line.
It will only contact Collins.
Wow!
I wish I was surprised!
Sh*t, man!
Oh, God.
Give me some room!
So someone do something!
Emily, what about CPR?
CPR's not going to help him.
Oh, God, not the pilot!
Come on.
Come on!
Come on, dammit, breathe!
Cole?
I can't land this plane.
Why isn't Collins answering us?
- I don't know.
- Yes, you do!
- No, I don't.
- Yes, you do!
You've known everything this whole time!
Why isn't he answering us?!
You think I want us to fly into DC
airspace as an unknown aircraft?
I want to land
as badly as you do!
What do you mean
"unknown aircraft"?
This is a classified program.
Only a handful of people
know about it.
When the military IDs us,
they're going to have
F-15's on our tail
in minutes.
Why would they think
we're hostile?
Yeah,
Angola.
Yes, Angola.
You mean that airplane
you were talking about earlier?
This really is that airplane?
This is that stolen airplane?
Tail number
N-8-4-4 double-A
withdrawn from service
in Angola.
Retrofitted
for the Chariot Program.
tracked from inventory.
Everyone thinks it was stolen.
Including Homeland Defense.
Who's going to go apeshit
when it shows up
in the sky over DC.
You think?!
you know that?
If we could re-establish
contact with Collins...
- Aden, give me my phone.
- Not a chance.
- What are you doing?
- What I do.
Hack it.
Pulling up Collins' IP address.
- How can you do that?
- Because I'm good.
That's how.
Where is he?
I don't know.
Collins?
Collins, are you there?
Get the monitor.
- Genevieve?
- Yes, it's me.
Listen to me carefully.
Our co-pilot
and our pilot are dead,
and we need
to talk to the ground.
- How in the hell did you...
- It doesn't matter.
Can you get us
in touch with the tower?
Are you listening to me?!
It's not possible, Ginny.
The albeit com systems
are disabled,
even your pilots
didn't know that.
Radio silence is mandatory.
Well, for Chrissake,
how do we land?
You don't.
Collins,
what're you talking about?
Ginny, you've been identified
as an inbound threat.
You know what that means.
I'm afraid
I can't help you now.
What do you mean
you can't help us?!
We're going to be
shot out of the sky
if we do not
put this thing down!
I-I know.
It's the only way.
I-I'm sorry you have to
make that sacrifice,
- but...
- Sacrifice?
Listen,
you little son of a b*tch!
Chariot is a failure,
and you know as well as I do
that failure
has to be contained.
It's what this dry run
was all about,
an acceptable loss.
You know all about
"acceptable loss", Ginny.
You bastard.
You were just trying
to save your own ass.
No.
No, I'm keeping
a "classified" operation
classified.
You guaranteed
my safety!
We were supposed to land!
And no one was supposed
to get into the cockpit
or hack
the on-board systems
or bring guns on board.
You guaranteed all of that.
Stop, Collins.
You are not this cold.
It'll be quick, Ginny.
I can promise you that.
The F-15's have already been
scrambled for Mandarins.
Oh, no, Collins, don't do this.
I'm sorry, Genevieve.
He's right.
We'll have F-15's on
our tail in minutes.
Then what?
The protocol
is that the pilot...
- Then what, goddammit?!
- I'm trying to tell you!
to make visual contact
with the cockpit
or the passengers!
