Flight World War II Page #3

Wait, wait wait

wait wait, wait.

is that German?

- Repeat

Over.

- Hello!

This is captain William Strong.

IA flight 42.

Do you copy?

- Fly over international airspace,

please identify yourself.

- This is captain William Strong

requesting assistance. Do you copy?

- Captain?

Listen,

Whoever this is, this

is a localized channel.

to be used in emergencies only. Over.

- This is flight 42 out of Dallas.

We've been flying blind.

We think we just saw some...

German bombers.

- Bombers? Are you claiming

to be aboard an aircraft?

- Yes!

Hello?

- My name is Corporal Nigel Shetfield.

My position is classified, but it my duty

to intercept long range transmissions.

And it is simply not possible

for you to be aboard an aircraft.

- Look, I don't have time to mess around.

Can you just get us in touch

with civilian air traffic control?

We need to land ASAP.

- Air traffic control? This is a war zone.

Anyone who can help us.

Anyone.

Alright, captain.

What branch of the

military are you in?

- We are... a commercial airline.

International.

- And you've flown through

German bombing run?

No, it's absurd.

- Look...

Can you just help us get our

bearing? What is your GMT?

- Fine, captain.

17th June, 2130 hours.

- And the year?

- Uh, are you joking?

- Let's all get on the same

page, Nigel, Ok?

-17th June 1940

Do they not stock calendars

in international airlines?

If this charade is quite finished,

I'd highly recommend you

get off this channel and...

- Listen!

I don't know if you're

part of some

sick hoax, but we

are in distress

You're the only person

we've been able to reach.

- Hoax? We're certainly not.

Now, kindly remove yourself

from this frequency and...

- How do I convince you that

we're a commercial airline in distress?

- Sure I don't know captain.

- Ok...

Here?

- Here?

- It has to be.

So if...

If that's red, then... then...

that means that

- Oh, we've got to tell the captain.

Come on.

- Look...

even if this is a hoax, Nigel,

or whoever you are,

all we've got is our fuel

gauge, altitude,

and radar that's working at the moment.

- Your radar?

- You know?

Radar detection?

Scans the skies, lets you know

where other air crafts and objects are?

- Well that certainly sounds familiar

to the IDF technology we Brits

are developing, but

but I have nothing like

that at my disposal.

- Well, that's the only thing that's keeping

us up in the air at the moment.

- Captain, we think we know where we are.

Nigel, I have just been

joined by a couple of

history professors. They think

they know where we are.

- I beg your pardon?

- We were able to pick out

a very identifiable

river and surrounding hills.

- We've just passed over

Rhen

in the northwest of France based on

the timing since the last

bombing, it's our best guest.

Uh, we... we're relatively certain that

we flew through the bombing of

St Nazaire where the RMS

Lancastria was attacked and sunk

- Sunk?

The Lancastria?

Even if that were true,

how can you possibly...

- You're... you're going to

find this hard to believe, but

we were en route from DC

to... to London

in the twenty-first century

and we flew through a storm or

something and now we're here.

- This is hard...

- Look, forget about that

This is what we know.

We're up here all alone,

and we're in a war zone.

Nigel can come by without your help.

- What... what if we were

able to tell you

about the bombing of saint Nazaire?

- What could you tell me?

- The air forces...

Junker ju 88s,

Heinkel he 111s

Messerschmidt Bf 110s

likely prototypes.

And the Lancastria.

Radio the front.

You'll be able to confirm

she was lost.

- Yes, well, I'll do just that.

If you're serious,

go back on this frequency

in thirty minutes.

- Recap in thirty minutes.

Call us back in five.

- I'll do what I can.

God help me.

- Show me the route.

The two points you've figured out.

- Think we can come in the course?

- Hopefully

Then we can figure out our range.

Just under half a tank right now.

- Uh, Shetfield.

- Coronal, moment.

- Any news?

- One transmission, sir.

You're going to want

to hear about it.

- Ladies and gentlemen.

I... I have information

that this flight crew has

neglected to give us.

- Sir, I'm going to need you...

- Get your hands of me.

And I know how this is gonna sound.

But I believe that somehow

we have traveled through time.

- How many drinks have you had?

- We all saw that storm.

And... and the planes and the bombs...

She knows.

Somehow, we've time traveled

back to the middle of World War II.

- Everyone please stay calm.

There's not-

- No! no one is telling us anything.

We have a right to know.

- Sit down, you're scaring everyone.

- You... you might not believe

that we've traveled through time,

but we're clearly in a war zone.

- So what?

- So?

We're not gonna survive.

This jet wasn't built for war.

But... listen... listen...

Do you know what this means?

Right now

as we speak, we...

we're flying over France.

In June of 1940.

On the ground, Hitler

has joined his forces and

we... all of us, all of us...

we have one opportunity

to change human history.

We can kill Hitler.

- Ok, and... um... how

do you propose we do that?

They tried to assassinate Hitler

during the war and failed.

- Ok, during the war,

they were operating on

outdated intelligence. We... we know

exactly where Hitler will be. It's all here in this book.

Everything step-by-step

detailed information exactly

where Hitler and the SS went.

- Ok, they will see us coming

from miles away. it's suicide.

it wouldn't work.

- We're... we're surrounded by bombers.

and... and attack planes.

We're... we're probably not gonna survive.

But we can land this plane

we can find Hitler and

we can kill him.

- Ok, that's enough!

- Whoa, whoa...

- Let him go.

- Oh God.

- He's right.

- We need to take matter

into our own hands.

We cam prevent the Holocaust.

- We would just need to

find a safe place to land.

And convince the pilots.

- Gentlemen!

- Stop, stop, stop...

- Stand down.

- I would think that you

would be on our side, Sargent.

We can win this war.

- Or you could be making t

he whole thing up.

But what I do know is you're

trying to hijack this plane.

And that's an act of terrorism.

- I'm a patriot.

- Listen, we can do this

the easy way or the hard way.

But there is no way me

and Private Jackson

here are letting you take that cockpit.

- You think you can stop us?

- I don't think you want to find out

- We could use you in this plan, Sargent.

You could be heroes.

- I'd prefer not to fight over this.

- Get off of me!

You...

- What was that?

- Whoa, you're not thinking this through.

- No sir, you're not thinking this through.

Suppose we try it.

It's easy to make a mistake.

Even when you think you

know exactly where the enemy is.

Trust me.

Say it really is World

War II down there,

and we make one slip up,

just one,
