Non-Stop Page #3

there's nothing to

be concerned about.

It's my job.

As a passenger, don't I have the

right to know what's going on?

- Listen... Jen, right?

- Yeah.

It's an innocent prank.

Some kid with a cell phone.

If it was on the ground,

I'd catch him

in two seconds flat, but up here,

traveling at 500 miles an hour,

I can't track his phone.

There's nothing I can do.

There's nothing you can do?

Aren't you an air marshal?

Ma'am, please return to your seat.

Did you just call me "ma'am"?

Please return to your seat.

Seriously? Did you call me "ma'am"?

Now.

Okay, Bill.

I'm going.

- Thank you.

- Ugh.

Agent Hammond?

Just a moment.

Nancy.

Sorry. The indicator

must be broken.

I was looking for Agent Hammond.

What's wrong?

Nancy, wait. Wait!

Nancy, please.

Calm down, calm down.

Calm down.

Please, I can explain this.

Okay?

This is a setup.

The captain just told

me that the account

they want the money

wired to is in my name.

Do you think I would

extort $150 million

using an account in my own name?

He was transporting cocaine, Nancy.

Whoever we're looking

for knew that.

He threatened Hammond,

made him paranoid.

I found out, and Hammond

tried to kill me.

The person who's doing this,

he wants it to look like this.

Like two federal agents are

the ones doing this, not him.

Jack pulled a gun on me.

I had no choice.

Nancy?

I had no choice.

You know me.

You know I could never

do something like this.

Look at me.

I need you to believe me.

I believe you.

In 13 minutes, someone else will

die, unless I find him first.

I need you to help me.

BILL:
(ON PA) Ladies and gentlemen,

may I have your attention, please?

My name is Bill Marks.

I'm the federal air marshal

assigned to this flight.

I apologize for the disturbance.

The TSA has recently

instituted a policy

of random searches aboard

international flights.

Unfortunately, this is one of

three lucky flights this month.

I'm gonna be coming

through the cabin.

If I call your name

and seat number,

please stand up and

move into the aisle.

If you're in possession of an

illegal substance, item or weapon,

it's best to just step forward now.

Captain, you might

want to hear this.

BILL:
I need everybody to place both

hands on the seat in front of you.

What the hell is he doing?

Right now!

Contact TSA, tell them we

have a possible hijacking.

- Nancy, what's going on?

- It's just a random search.

Thank you.

Excuse me.

Jennifer Summers?

Should I have told you

about the bomb in my bag?

Let's not use that word

on a plane, please.

When I move on to the main

cabin, you watch business class.

If you see anything suspicious,

anything at all, get my attention.

- Scream, if you have to.

- Okay.

American paranoia.

Iris Marianne, 5B.

Stand up, please.

Is that how older men

pick up younger women?

Fondle first, talk later?

Phone.

Why don't you enter your number?

- You're a little young for me.

- (GIGGLES)

Who does this guy think he is?

WOMAN:
It's all right. Just calm down!

- Just married?

- Yesterday.

- Congratulations.

- Thank you.

Sit down.

It's nothing to worry about.

Happens all the time.

- 13B, Fahim Nasir.

- Bullshit.

- Stand.

- Thank you, sir.

Feeling okay?

Flying is not my cup of tea.

Tell me about it.

- You're a doctor.

- How do you know?

Your bag. Can you

fetch it up, please?

Sure. It's right down here.

What kind of doctor?

Molecular neuroscience.

Sounds interesting.

Hey, look, man, some of us

need to get some sleep.

Sir, sit down. Be quiet.

14C, Charles Wheeler? Stand.

There was nothing in his bag?

What's the purpose of your trip?

I have a client in Brighton.

I'm a bankruptcy attorney.

Yeah? You any good?

- Why? Oh, you need one?

- Sit down.

Sir, you need to keep your hands on

the seat in front of you. Thank you.

MAN:
This sucks.

This is crazy. Are we next?

Just relax.

Okay, 22C. Austin Reilly. Stand.

Hey, look. Can we move this along?

Seriously, man.

I'm not gonna tell you again.

Mr. Reilly, what do

you do for a living?

NYPD.

London your final destination?

My fairy brother's getting married

to a guy with a British accent.

Mind if I take a

look at your phone?

MAN:
Come on, man. Are you serious?

This is some Big Brother-type sh*t.

Take your seat.

You, step into the aisle.

Come on, up!

Up! Right now!

Nah, man, I'm good.

I'm not asking. Shades off.

Come on. What is it,

like 2:
00 a.m.?

Why don't you go back up there

so I can go back to sleep, man?

- Shades.

- No, dude!

Come on, man! Yo, chill!

Let me see your phone.

I don't have a phone, man.

WOMAN:
Jesus.

This isn't yours?

Man, I ain't never

seen that before.

Looks a hell of a lot like the

one you were using at the gate.

MAN:
This is ridiculous.

Sit down.

Gladly.

(CELL PHONE DINGING)

What happened to Amsterdam?

I'm connecting to London.

Show me your boarding pass.

What's your name?

Tom Bowen. Why?

Man, take it easy.

Move!

I didn't do anything!

Look, I have rights!

- Come here.

- (PHONE RINGING)

- Marenick?

- Marks, what the hell is going on there?

Listen to me. The threat is real.

I want you to stop doing whatever

you're doing immediately.

I have a suspect in custody.

I need a background check.

Seat 24E, Tom Bowen, B-O-W-E-N.

You have unlawfully subdued

innocent passengers, Marks.

I don't have time for this.

You called your supervisor before

the flight and threatened him.

- What?

- He wouldn't book you an overtime flight

and you said you'd do

what you had to do.

- I didn't threaten anyone.

- Is that right? Marks?

I need to run a full check

on Tom Bowen, seat 24E.

- Marks, damn you!

- Now! You're wasting time.

Marks... Agent Marks, you are hereby

relieved of duty. Do you hear me?

In three minutes, someone on this

plane is gonna die. Do you hear me?

Bowen is clean, Bill. He's a

schoolteacher, for Christ's sake.

He has family in London.

Everyone on that flight is clean.

Everyone except you.

Marks?

You said Amsterdam.

I never asked you

where you were going.

You volunteered that information.

Why would you lie

to a federal agent?

Look, I didn't know you

were a federal agent.

Why would you lie to a stranger?

You can answer questions now, or

in federal custody when we land.

Look. Okay, Jesus.

He said he'd give me $100 if I asked

you where you were flying. Okay?

I don't know why I said Amsterdam.

I swear to God, I didn't know

you were a federal marshal.

- Bullshit!

- I swear to God!

He said he wanted to play a prank

on his friend. Will, right?

Bill.

Bill. Whatever, man.

I did it for 100 bucks.

- Who was he?

- I don't know!

What does he look like?

He was white with brown hair, a European

accent, like 30, 35 years old...

- Is he on this plane?

- I don't know, I didn't see him.

When I went back, he didn't

pay me, he was already gone.

- You'd know him if you saw him?

- I don't know!

I never saw him get on

the plane, man, I swear!

Humor me. Look!
