Still. Don't you do that to Katie.

We may not know what happened here today

but it is not Katie's fault...

Do you hear me?

Yes.

But she's somewhere out there,

right now...

Watching us.

Yeah, that's good.

Give me that.

Hattie, this isn't about us.

It's about the truth.

You need to focus on the truth.

That truth, Ray?

Are you serious? - Yes.

This isn't about our past,

it's about right now.

What's happening on this plane

right now.

This could be happening everywhere,

right now.

So they are all in heaven.

That is your conclusions.

Without speaking to anyone

outside of this plane.

You're gonna jump to the first explanation

that pops into your head.

I already knew this was coming.

In details.

How can that be possible?

The way it happened,

the way they disappeared...

Even the way their clothes

were still there.

Perfect details.

How could she know that?

Think about it.

Why don't you think about this?

You lied to me about your wife.

You lied to your wife

about this trip.

You even lied to your

own daughter.

It seems that you're able to lie to

just about everybody in your life.

And now you're asking me

to find God.

Hattie.

I don't understand.

You were here every day.

You worked here,

you preached here.

That's not what counted.

What do you mean?

I knew all the words, I

could quote the chapters

and the verses, but

that was not enough.

You have to believe.

Believe?

Believe in what?

In a God that killed my father?

A God that grabbed my mother and

my brother and raised them out

of this world. A God that crashes

planes and destroys cities?

He took them to protect them.

From what?

From the darkest time in

the history of this world.

Persecution, war...

In 7 years of darkness,

He took them to heaven.

And what about the rest of us?

What about me?

What am I supposed to do?

It is not about what we

do, it's about asking for

forgiveness, it's about

turning our lives over...

Stop it!

The God that my mother talked about,

would never do something like this.

Chloe, please...

Listen to me.

Listen to you?

Why should I?

You didn't even listen to you.

Are you okay Marshal?

Yeah.

Heard all about you.

Peacon 257. This is dispatch.

This is Pancon 257,

calling dispatch.

Pancon 257, This is

Marcus, are you there?

Marcus, I'm 20 minutes outside of JFK.

I had to turn around.

How many did you lose?

So, it is everywhere.

The whole planet, buddy.

No one knows how many,

but millions.

What about my family?

I need you to call Irene,

make sure they are safe.

How's your fuel?

Critical. I would be lucky to reach

the coast without ditching in.

Listen, there are planes

down everywhere, the runway

is full of birds, there's no

way you can get into JFK.

What about LaGuardia?

I'm sorry, Ray.

So, where am I going?

You gonna have to go inland.

Marcus, I can't go inland!

You need to tell me

when you're ready.

Circuit is impossible, you

have to talk to them.

They have to gonna clear

things up for us there.

Marcus?

Marcus!

JFK tower, this Pancon 257, I

have a low-fuel emergency.

I need a runway. Repeat.

I need a runway.

So...

Is there a backup plan?

I'm gonna level with you.

We're not just a low on fuel,

we're low on fumes.

JFK was the closest airport, and I

would love to have made it that far.

We only have one option.

I hope they clear us a runway

and hope that they do it soon.

What about the water?

- Can't raise the nose.

When we hit the water,

this thing is going to disintegrate.

Can't. I can't let the people

back there go down without

having any chance to undo

some of their mistakes.

Hey...

You are Venice Baxter, aren't you?

Tom's daughter.

You probably do not remember me,

we...

met once at your father's office. You were

sitting right by this little yellow desk.

I remember thinking, this guy's place,

decorated with the best of everything...

but he's got this plastic little desk.

Sitting beside him like it's the

finest piece of furniture in the room.

Sometimes that's the only way

I got to see him.

Well...

At least he was trying.

And I have a little girl too.

I mean, she was little.

She's married now.

She never had

a desk in my office.

The truth is... I was so busy.

I hardly ever saw her though.

You know, when all these

people disappeared,

I never even thought about her.

I wish I could say I

did, but I was always

thinking about money,

about opportunities...

Making my next meal.

I'm sorry...

You know what you said

about heaven?

As much as I want to see her...

When I get home,

I hope she's not there.

I need you try and

call Chloe for me.

I've been trying.

The truth is... uh...

I've not stopped

thinking about her since

I got on the plane.

I can understand that.

JFK tower, do you hear me?

We are headed for the coast.

Our fuel is at critical.

I need a clear runway.

I repeat, I need

a clear runway.

Listen to me...

I have a plane full of people here.

I have no spoilers, no flaps,

no elevators and...

And if I run this thing right,

no reverse thrust...

I need some room!

Oh...

Were you with her...

When she got the concert tickets?

I was... what can I say...

She was hurt.

I should never have

left her today.

You didn't know.

All I knew she came home

and see me and I left.

I left her alone.

God only knows what she's

been going through down there.

She loves you, Ray?

She will understand.

I can't let that be the last thing

we said to each other.

I just... I can't.

I need to tell her the truth.

And I need her to know that this wasn't

her mother's fault. It's all mine.

Every time that Irene mentioned God,

I walked away.

Mom...

I don't know if you can hear me...

But I just wanted to say...

This morning, I felt like

our family was falling apart.

And I blamed you.

And I know that I hurt you.

And I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Hello?

Who is this? - Chloe...

This is Buck. - Buck?

Thank God, you're alive.

Where is my dad?

He is here.

Chloe, are you okay?

Dad...

I thought you were dead.

Are you okay?

Yeah... I guess so.

But Mom and Raymie,

they are both gone.

Mom told me about this.

I know, she told me too.

I love you so much, sweetheart.

I love you more than anything

in the world.

Me too daddy, me too...

I'm so sorry I lied to you and

I wasn't there with you today.

I really, really need you to know

how much I love you.

No matter what happens.

Wait, dad... Why

are you talking like this?

What's going on? Where are you?

Well... we still are in the air. We're

on our way home, but there is a problem.

The airports are closed, the roads are

jammed and there's no way to land...

What?

And I do not have enough fuel.

Chloe...

Dad...

Chloe...

Ladies and gentlemen...

We are coming in on New York.

Alright...

However, we still have challenges ahead.

All the airports are closed.

I need you to remain in your seats...

With your seat belts fastened,

and try to remain calm.

But I have to be honest...
