You know we have company, right?

Two typhoons are

flanking me right now.

They're watching, and

you want me to...

Kyle, we need to drop altitude now.

Look, I have orders, Marks.

Any suspicious activity and they...

Rice!

There is a bomb on this plane.

We have to descend to 8,000 feet.

All right, give me 10 minutes.

If we drop now, I lose speed.

Ten minutes at this altitude,

maybe I can get us close enough,

close enough to land in Iceland.

Ten minutes. Thanks.

It's an RDX explosive.

Very professional. Maybe military.

Is that blow?

Are you positive it

can't be disarmed?

This is a calibrated

pressure trigger.

The only way to disarm a bomb

is to remove the trigger.

But remove the trigger, the pressure

releases, the bomb goes off.

- Well, can't we just dump it?

- Same principle in reverse.

The low pressure outside the plane

won't hold the trigger.

You try to dump it...

The bomb goes off.

- Isn't there like a wire you can cut?

- No.

So, if this guy doesn't

get his money,

he's gonna kill himself

and everyone aboard?

I can't believe this.

This is crazy.

- Why aren't we looking for this guy?

- We're out of time.

That's a bullshit answer,

Marshal, you know it.

Take it easy.

There's 150 passengers and crew.

It could be anyone.

Let's find him! Let's pay

him, let's do something.

It's not about the money,

and even if I find him...

I don't think he ever intended

to get off this plane.

My God, we're all gonna die.

No!

We gotta place the bomb here.

Stack all available luggage over it.

And direct the explosion outward.

At 8,000 feet, the pressure

will equalize. Then we land.

- With a hole in the fuselage?

- And this has worked before?

It's never been tried before.

- That you know of.

- You're not being helpful, Doctor.

We're so screwed.

It could work! We've got to try!

Come on! Grab every able hand!

Let's get this done!

Marshal, if they're setting

this thing off, no matter what,

what are they waiting for?

AUSTIN:
Just grab what

you can, go to the back.

All right, you guys form a chain,

send those bags back

as fast as you can.

ATTENDANT:
Please remove all

luggage from the overhead bins.

Kyle, how close are we?

We need to descend, now!

No, give me three minutes.

Three minutes, okay.

Look at your watch. Three minutes

from now, not a second longer.

No matter what happens,

drop down 8,000 feet.

Okay.

- Take this.

- MAN:
Lighter luggage up front.

Keep piling please.

Bring the heavier luggage down.

NANCY:
Keep them going.

Sir, keep that with

you, I just need...

Your nose.

Yeah, it's bleeding, thanks.

You have a displaced fracture.

Look, it's a broken nose, it's

normal, I don't need you to fix it.

Look, I'm going to set your nose.

Here, hold this.

Just make it quick, all right?

Apply some pressure.

Okay.

On three. One...

(GRUNTING)

GWEN:
Sweetheart, you've got to come out.

It's all right, I'll hold your hand.

But it's not safe.

- Gwen, what's going on?

- Please.

We need to hurry.

Sorry. I'm sorry, I need your help.

She won't come out.

What's wrong? Are you scared?

I wanna see my daddy.

I know you do, sweetheart.

I know you do.

You know, I was a daddy once to

a little girl just like you,

and when she was scared,

you know what she'd do?

She had a magic ribbon,

very powerful.

It'll protect you,

just like your daddy.

You wanna see it?

I have it in my pocket.

I carry it all the time.

Here it is. Here.

You wrap it around your

hand, just like that.

That's it, hold on to it now.

Are you bribing me?

Yes, I am.

This is my friend, Jen.

She's gonna look after you.

- Jen, this is Becca.

- Hey.

Don't worry, you'll see your

father soon. I promise.

Can I have the window seat?

You mean this old seat?

Mm-hm.

KYLE:
Ladies and gentlemen, we

're about to begin our descent.

I need you to return to your

seats and fasten your seatbelts.

GWEN:
Please stay calm. Everyone,

please get back to your seats.

(PHONE RINGING)

Yeah?

MARENICK:

Marks, we transferred the money,

150 million US into your account.

It's too late for the money.

Whatever he's doing...

You can stop now, Marks.

You have your money.

The jets will escort you in.

I have to bring this plane

down to 8,000 feet.

You will not descend

into civilian airspace.

You think he wants the money?

You think that will stop him?

If you transferred

the money, prove it.

You want proof? Here's your proof,

$150 million was transferred

to account CH-1000-23000-A-10982.

Confirmation code R48940.

We'll escort you into

a military air field,

you will not be arrested,

no questions will be asked.

There is a bomb on this plane.

It isn't mine. It will go off!

- And we have to prepare...

- You're in command of a hijacked vessel

and you will not dive that

plane into civilian airspace.

I will!

Then, Marks, God damn it,

we will shoot you down!

Someday, they'll fish this plane's

black box out of the Atlantic Ocean,

and the world will know these

people could have been saved.

The world already

knows what's going on

in that plane, Bill.

You are hijacking it.

- That's what you're telling them.

- No, no, no, no, no.

That's what your hostages

are telling them.

That video is playing on every major

news network on repeat, Bill.

- What video?

- One of your hostages uploaded a video.

You're taking a man, dragging

him around at gunpoint,

stumbling over

terrified passengers.

How do you expect us to believe

anything that you're saying

when you clearly are

abusing those hostages?

We've seen everything

we need to know.

But we're trying to negotiate...

Your phone, now! The phone!

Show me the video that

you uploaded! Come on!

I apologize for my son.

Humor me. Look!

- Look.

- I don't see him.

Come on, look.

- Right there.

- Where?

Glasses.

Come on, move.

God damn it!

You. Look...

God damn it!

Stay where you are.

Bill, don't test me!

Bill.

Reilly, drop!

Reilly, get down!

You gave me an unloaded weapon?

Overhead bin, 4B!

Everybody, down! Stay down!

- Hey, get out of there, move!

- What?

Hey, man!

You looking for this?

Give me that.

What are you doing?

- Get back!

- Okay, okay.

Jackrabbit, I have shots fired outside

this cockpit, need to descend.

That's a negative, Flight 10, do not deviate

from your current course or altitude.

Turn around.

I need all of you to put your hands

on the seat-back in front of you.

Do it now!

- Move.

- Don't test me.

Step back!

Put your hands up!

Sit!

Sit, sit!

He was supposed to be in

the seat next to mine.

Yeah. He was close enough.

Listen, whatever I've done to

you, whatever it is, I'm sorry.

Stay down!

Bill, I'm not mad at you.

You're my hero.

People everywhere are gonna

remember the name Bill Marks.

An alcoholic, self-destructive,

suicidal man with a gun

and a federal badge

who changed everything.

What do you think doing

this is gonna change?

Two minutes outside

the window. Suit up.

Every one of these people
