God damn it!

Come on, look.

I don't see him.

Look.

- Come on, look!

- God damn it! I don't see him!

- Right there.

- Where?

Right there. The glasses.

Come on, move.

MAN:
This is crazy.

You! You. Look at me.

Look at me! What's your name?

Michael. Michael Tate.

- Well?

- It's not him.

- You're sure?

- Yeah, God damn it, I'm sure!

Look, if I'd seen him

get on the plane,

I would've gone and

asked him for my money.

What's going on?

Nancy, watch business class.

Turn around.

- Are you serious?

- Don't talk.

Now, sit down.

Don't move.

(CELL PHONE DINGING)

Oh, God.

Nancy!

ATTENDANT:

Everybody remain in your seats.

Ladies and gentlemen,

please remain in your seats

and keep your seatbelts fastened.

Ladies and gentlemen,

please remain in your seats

and keep your seatbelts fastened.

Nancy, are you okay?

- Yeah.

- You sure?

What's happened?

(WATCH ALARM RINGING)

He started having chest pains, then

he just collapsed over the yoke!

- Come on, come on!

- Wake up!

- ATTENDANT:
Sit down!

- MAN:
What the hell was that?

Everything's under control.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

Is the captain okay?

- Dr. Nasir?

- I didn't do anything, I...

Come with me, now.

Marshal! Is someone gonna tell

us what the hell is going on?

I need your help.

Hey! People are scared!

We have a right to know

why you searched us.

Why this plane almost went down!

Hey, Marshal, you and I are

gonna have a conversation.

Don't you walk away from me.

Doctor, cockpit, now!

You're letting that

guy in the cockpit?

Here's what's gonna happen.

You're gonna get back to your seat,

you're gonna sit down, and

you're gonna shut up.

Or what?

From one cop to another,

you know.

There was nothing I could do.

Excuse me, miss? You were sitting

next to that guy, the marshal?

You know what's happening?

I have no idea.

DR. NASIR:

There's no evidence of assault.

It could be poison.

Induced anaphylaxis.

- What?

- Allergic reaction.

Without an autopsy, I...

Yeah.

Doctor, would you mind seeing

if any of the passengers in

coach need medical assistance?

This...

This stays between us. Please.

Nancy, go with him.

Kyle.

Kyle, did the captain leave the

cockpit since I last spoke with him?

- You?

- No.

Did anyone else enter?

No.

Has he had anything

to eat or drink?

I don't think so.

Have you or the captain had any

reason to unlock this door?

Of course not.

So you and he were both alone here,

on the flight deck, for

the past 20 minutes?

You bastard.

Don't get emotional.

I'm getting emotional? Look at you!

Rice, if you have a

problem with me...

I have a problem with my

friend dying next to me.

I have a problem with being accused

of not only murder,

but also hijacking.

I didn't accuse you of hijacking.

Christ, I've heard about you.

About your problems with money.

With drinking. TSA.

They gave a paranoid

alcoholic a gun and a badge

and they put him on my plane.

Brilliant.

You're gonna hit me?

Don't tell... Hey! Hey!

What are you doing?

This door stays locked until

this plane lands safely. Okay?

- Marenick...

- Marks, God damn it, I thought I told you...

The captain's dead.

Excuse me?

The cockpit was secured,

locked from the inside.

Let me guess, were

you inside, Bill?

The co-pilot said the man

just collapsed beside him.

It could be induced anaphylaxis,

I think it's called.

Induced... What are

you talking about?

Poisoning, I don't know how.

It was just he and the co-pilot,

and the co-pilot, I trust.

For now.

"For now"? I don't

know about this, Bill.

Marenick, you need to

transfer the money.

Where is Agent Hammond?

I need to corroborate

everything you're telling us.

Hammond's dead.

What?

- He had cocaine in his carry-on.

- Jesus Christ!

I confronted him, he pulled a gun.

- Are you serious?

- Marenick. Transfer the money.

Buy me time. I'll find him.

Transfer the money.

$150 million into your account?

Is that something you're

seriously asking me to do, Bill?

The moment we land, arrest me,

freeze the funds. Just transfer it.

I can't do that, Bill.

The airline believes

paying the demand

will set a dangerous and

irreversible precedent.

Christ, there are 150

people on this plane.

Which makes me wonder why you

haven't cut the network.

You have 150 people panicking,

contacting their families, while we're

trying to handle the situation.

You attribute all

this to a passenger,

but you can give me no

proof he actually exists.

I won't cut the network. I need

to communicate with this guy.

Then, Agent Marks, I can't

continue talking to you.

What does that mean?

It means we will not

negotiate with a terrorist.

Nancy.

Who else in the crew has

access to the cockpit?

Just me.

Would you like to see

my phone, Agent Marks?

Is your interview in the morning?

Yeah. If we ever make it there.

Yeah, if we ever land, right?

Exactly. But it shouldn't...

I'm sorry. I'll get up.

No. Please, don't worry about it.

Zack, this is Bill.

Bill, Zack.

We were just talking and

Zack was telling me

that he's a programmer

for smart phones.

Is that right?

Yeah. I'm interviewing

at Paige in the morning

for a software analytics position.

Which, technically, isn't

programming. But...

Look, I'm sorry for being

such an a**hole earlier...

Yeah, but you were a

programmer, right?

I was telling him that I

keep losing my phone,

and because I keep my ringer off...

It'd be nice if there

was a way to find it.

Yeah, but apparently, it's

pretty simple, right?

- I didn't say it was simple...

- GPS?

Carrier signal triangulation?

No.

Basically, you just send an intrusion

virus attached to a picture text

that switches the phone

from silent to ring.

Most phones load images

automatically, so if you...

What if there's no

cell phone coverage?

If it's two phones on

a smaller network?

It's the same protocol.

Even over Wi-Fi.

How fast could you do

something like that?

What, like right now?

Yes.

There are variables.

The phone and the network.

If the other phone is

even turned on or not.

It's on. But the target

number is anonymous.

You have to send it

from this phone.

Jesus.

Marshal, I don't know about this.

Can you do it?

This dude is talking about killing people.

Can he see us right now?

I'm here.

I guess I can give it a shot.

But I can't guarantee...

How fast?

Thirty minutes?

Twenty?

We have less than eight minutes.

You can do it. That's why

they want to hire you, right?

Eight minutes.

Okay.

Tell me when it's ready.

Thanks, ma'am.

Hey, hey.

What did you see up there?

I'm really not at liberty to say.

What, are you like a

doctor or something?

What the hell?

BILL:
Ladies and gentlemen,

if I can have your attention.

The business cabin is now closed.

I repeat, the business cabin

is now closed to everyone.

Flight attendants, if

you could do your best,

please, to accommodate

all passengers.

Thank you.

(ALL SHOUTING)

MAN:
I have a family, for Christ's sake!
