WOMAN:
People are watching!

MAN:
No, no, no.

Nobody's watching. Nobody.

MAN:
Oh, my God.

WOMAN:
In front of my

mom, with no pants on

and half a Toblerone in his mouth.

MAN:
He didn't.

Do you know him?

Excuse me.

What kind of tea do you have?

I'll have chamomile. Thanks.

Certainly.

(CELL PHONE DINGING)

- This your idea of a joke?

- What're you talking about?

If you have a problem with

me, say it to my face.

Don't play games on a

flight in a secure network.

You need to calm down, partner.

I was a cop for 25 years.

I knew men like you.

Men like me?

Men like me follow

goddamn protocol.

We're not even supposed

to be talking right now.

It's a secure network, Jack!

Bill, what the hell are

you talking about?

Don't deny you sent these.

Bill, I didn't send these.

See for yourself.

Then someone on this flight is

threatening to kill a passenger

unless $150 million is transferred

in the next 18 minutes.

Who knows about this?

You and me.

I say no way. It's bullshit.

Any threat to an aircraft

requires immediate landing.

Right, yeah, all right.

If there is a threat.

Come on, Bill.

You wanna be the agent

who lands an international flight

because some a**hole knows

your personal problems?

Sends you a couple of joke texts?

Bill, I gotta ask you, how

many have you had today?

A threat's a threat!

Okay.

You really need to think this

through, partner, all right?

Listen, how do you

kill somebody aboard

a crowded plane and

get away with it?

Pretty hard to pull that

off, don't you think?

Bill, if there's not a

situation, you don't create one.

I'm going to see the captain.

You keep your eye

on the main cabin.

Bill? Don't panic

the cockpit. Bill?

I tell you, it's five hours in

and then, out of nowhere, he

suddenly sits up and he says...

- How do we validate the threat?

- We can't.

Captain? TSA says a full cross

check on the passenger manifest

could take 25 to 30 minutes.

We can divert the flight,

if this is for real.

The nearest airport?

Well, it's 95 minutes

back to Halifax,

two hours to Iceland,

three to London.

We're midway over the Atlantic.

You Okay?

It's this juice fast I'm on.

Gives me the shakes.

It's your call, Bill.

Do we have a situation?

Can we review the footage?

It's recorded directly

to the black box.

But I can watch all the camera

feeds live from the galley?

Yeah.

Get back on the line with TSA.

See if they can back trace

this account number.

In the meantime, I'll need

the passenger manifest.

I'll see if I can find him.

But in 10 minutes, I'd like you

to switch off the network system.

We don't want him checking to

see if a transfer's been made.

Nancy, come with me.

Two cameras in business,

six in coach.

We're gonna need more eyes.

I'll get another attendant.

How well do you know the crew?

Not very well.

- Excuse me.

- Yeah?

Will you come with me, please?

Now?

You want me to come right now?

This is a bad idea.

She was sitting beside

me when this started.

The only two people I trust on

this airplane are you and her.

Trust me with what?

What's going on?

I text, you circle any

passenger with a phone

or acting like they have a phone.

I'm not sure I understand what

it is you want me to do...

Please, just do as I ask.

DAVID:
(ON PA)

Ladies and gentlemen, looks like

we've hit some

unexpected turbulence.

Please return to your seats and

keep your seatbelts fastened

until it's safe to move about

the cabin. Thank you.

There. 9B.

(PHONE RINGING)

You better answer it.

Hello?

Bill?

Bill?

- Who is this?

- This is Philip Marenick.

I'm with TSA. I understand from

the captain you have a situation.

I need to speak to my supervisor.

Listen, I'm calling from

the DHS here in D.C.

From here on out,

I am your supervisor.

Now, Agent Marks, I need you...

I'm going to run seat numbers by you.

I need red flags and priors.

- That's a very serious request you put in.

- 20G.

Agent Marks, I need you to take me

through the events

from the beginning.

And we're looking into tracing

the account number you gave us.

20G again.

And as you know, protocol

dictates in these situations...

we corroborate everything with

the second officer on board.

20G again.

It's not him.

It's not who? Look, I'd rather

not jump to any conclusions.

Listen, Bill, I don't think

you're in a position to sort out

who's a suspect or

not at this point.

Agent Marks?

Bill?

Agent Marks, I need some sort

of acknowledgment from you.

Bill?

Agent Marks?

Marks, you need to answer me.

Hang on.

Marks, are you there?

Go back to your seat.

You son-of-a-b*tch!

Keep your voice down.

- Hand it over!

- What're you...

Bill, look at me, okay?

I need this money.

I can cut you in...

- Give me the goddamn phone, Jack.

- Just listen to me.

Give me the phone...

Jack! You son-of-a-b*tch.

- Give it up, Marks.

- Stop it!

- Give it up.

- Stop it.

Damn it, Jack!

Stop it. Stop it!

Stop fighting!

Jack!

Don't do this, Jack.

Stop it!

Don't.

Don't.

Don't do this, Jack!

Don't!

DAVID:
Ladies and gentlemen,

this is your captain speaking.

I apologize for the

inconvenience...

Sh*t.

But our network is

down for the moment.

If you just bear with us, we'll

attempt to restart the Internet.

- Turn the network back on.

- What?

The network, turn it on.

We'll keep you posted.

(KNOCKS ON DOOR)

I need the network system back on.

Go ahead, Nance.

The account number you gave us.

It's in your name.

What?

TSA just confirmed it.

That doesn't make any sense.

You know me.

You know I'd never do...

I know, I know.

Look, the 20 minutes are up.

Has anything happened?

No.

It's probably just a hoax.

Some elaborate middle finger

to the airline industry.

Excuse me. Are you waiting?

No. Go ahead.

Agent...

Hi, ma'am.

Agent Marenick, who you spoke with,

will continue to handle the

investigation from D.C.

David...

And they've asked me to take

your badge and your gun.

- BILL:
No.

- DAVID:
Bill.

- No.

- Bill...

I don't have a choice here.

I'm the air marshal.

- Bill...

- Okay. Okay.

Look, just sit back, relax,

- and...

- Enjoy the flight.

Enjoy the flight, yeah.

Was it him? The guy in 20G?

No, it was nothing.

I dropped my stupid

phone in the sink.

Oh, God, I do that all the time.

I lost like five

phones in six months,

and then I learned

this little trick.

Here we go.

So, should I be worried?

No, not at all.

It was a mistake to

involve you, I'm sorry.

So, if it's not him, then

why do you have his phone?

I have to be careful, even when
