Executive Decision Page #6

They got it!

I should take back every

squid-hating thing I ever said.

Monitor the radio.

And no contact.

We got a break.

We have 10 minutes.

We'll take the sleeper first.

It must be by surprise.

Cappy's almost there on the bomb.

Wait a few minutes.

We're out of time.

We go, blow out the lights,

take our chances.

Five minutes, Rat.

They'll have the bomb diffused by then.

Now give it 5 minutes!

Give him 5 minutes.

I agree.

All right, Grant. . .

. . .5 minutes.

Baker, get into position.

Louie, stand by.

We have 5 minutes.

How you doing?

Where were you?

The sphere is filled

with photoelectric beams.

We need more than 5 minutes.

Grant, come in!

Just do the best you can.

Pick it up.

Jan...

. . .you've been fantastic.

But I need your help one more time.

Lower galley.

Turn around.

Get in the elevator right now. Go.

They'll start descending soon.

I know, Jack.

Radar confirmation. Oceanic Flight 343

now at 25-mile limit.

Keep going.

I'll blow the lights.

Two more minutes and then we go.

Grant, how are you?

Just keep walking.

It's Grant.

He's down below in mid-cabin.

When I push you down. . .

. . .hit the floor and stay down.

He's going for the sleeper!

That son of a b*tch.

We go on your signal.

Go!

Something's wrong.

It's not him.

Everybody down!

Behind you!

He's got Demou! Blow the lights!

The sleeper!

The straw! The straw!

I can't hold it!

Come in, Dulles.

Dulles, this is Oceanic 343 heavy. . .

...requesting emergency landing.

We are low on fuel.

We have structural damage...

...but we are stable and in control.

This is Dulles.

You are cleared to land.

Thank God.

They're in control.

The bomb! What about the bomb?!

Listen to this.

It's done!

Jesus!

It's done!

You got anything else for us?

Got to tell Washington.

You okay?

It's over.

Over?

It's not over.

It's over.

Who are you?

No one.

You're very clever.

But you're too late.

You've stopped nothing!

Dulles lnternational. . .

. . .this is Flight 343.

The airplane is secure, but the

pilots are dead. Request help.

Flight 343, you're breaking up.

We don 't read you. You're cleared

to land on runway 1-L north.

I need help. I need instruction.

There's a bomb

that could detonate on impact.

You're breaking up.

They're not receiving.

Sh*t!

Get ahold of it now.

Get ahold of this plane.

It's all right.

It'll be okay.

All right, stick and rudder.

Stick and rudder. It's an airplane.

Straight and level. Hold it.

Oh, my God.

Are you a pilot?

You got to help me.

I've had a few lessons,

but I've never really soloed.

We're probably lined up for landing.

There it is! There's the airport.

There, see it?

Okay, I got it. I got it.

All right.

Pilot's Operating Handbook.

That's what I need. Over there.

I don't see it.

What's it look like?

It'll say, "Flight Manual. "

Back there! ln the back.

Okay, I got it, I got it.

Flight manual.

-What do I look for?

-The normal procedures.

Landing approach speeds.

Okay, here it is. I got it.

What's it say?

Final approach speeds. . .

" . . .over 600,000 pounds, 1 50 knots. . .

. . .under 400,000 pounds, 1 20 knots. "

Split it. 1 40 knots.

We're doing 220 knots.

Reduce power.

Nose down.

It's getting loose.

I'm losing control of the airplane.

What's wrong?

Flaps!

How much flaps can I put on?

Flaps, flaps, flaps. 1 70 knots--

any amount of flaps you want.

Goddamn it!

There. 1 60.

There we go. 1 50.

What the hell? I'm going to stall!

I'm stalling!

Power!

Power up!

There we go.

Wait a minute.

Landing gear!

Okay, we're going to land.

Oh, man. We're long.

What the hell?

He's way too high.

Come on!

I missed! I missed it!

I missed it. I'm over.

Power up.

Won't climb.

Come on, baby. Come on.

Gear up!

Now what do I do?

Turn around for another approach.

I can't turn it around.

Yes, you can!

No, wait. Wait a minute.

Let me think.

Hold it.

That's the interstate.

There's the ballpark.

Frederick Field must be ahead.

I know where I am!

I can do this. All right.

Line it up. . .

. . .for 2-6.

There it is. There it is!

Reduce power.

Here we go.

Power back.

Sh*t. Landing gear. . .

. . .down.

Airspeed. . .

. . . 1 40 knots.

Think.

What am I forgetting?

Who cares?

Just fly the plane!

You're right.

All right, I can do this.

"Fly the plane. "

I can do this.

I can do this.

Jesus, I'm down!

Sh*t. Hold on!

Things almost land themselves,

don't they?

I don't know how you did it,

but you did it.

No, you did it.

What do you mean?

What is this?

A little memento for you.

I'll tell you about it another time.

Right now. . .

. . .I need a drink. A big drink.

Marshal?

How you doing?

Getting better by the minute.

Where'd these commandos come from?

Good question.

You'll be okay.

Hold it.

Hey, guys.

It's Jean.

Hi.

What?

You called me Jan on the plane.

My name is Jean.

Who are you?

Dr. Grant. . .

. . .Agent Perry, FBl.

You're wanted at the Pentagon.

Sorry I asked.

Jean, wait!

Can I buy you some coffee?

As long as you're not flying.

No problem.

So, Jean, tell me something. . . .

Do you like hockey?

Hockey?

No, I only like baseball.
