Passengers Page #4

Synopsis: After a plane crash, a young therapist, Claire, is assigned by her mentor to counsel the flight's five survivors. When they share their recollections of the incident -- which some say include an explosion that the airline claims never happened -- Claire is intrigued by Eric, the most secretive of the passengers. Just as Claire's professional relationship with Eric -- despite her better judgment -- blossoms into a romance, the survivors begin to disappear mysteriously, one by one. Claire suspects that Eric may hold all the answers and becomes determined to uncover the truth, no matter the consequences.

it should be.

Yeah.

[Knocking]

Hello, Norman?

Norman, it's Dr. Summers, Claire.

Norman.

Hey!

Wait! Don't go!

Hey, stop! Don't go!

Please.

Help me! Please, help!

Help me!

Do you know me?

No.

I can't remember my own name,

and everything.

Why have you been hanging

around the sessions?

I followed one of them

the other day.

The guy who lives here.

He looked familiar.

I thought he could help me

figure things out.

But he wouldn't come near me.

I can't get anything out

since the accident.

You witnessed the accident?

I was in it.

You were on the flight?

Yes.

One moment, I'm sitting there...

and there is an explosion,

and I'm here, walking around...

what the hell happened?

It's okay.

Have you told anyone else

about this?

No. Who could I talk to?

I don't know any one here.

I'd like you to come with me, please.

Perry, it's Claire.

I need to talk to you,

call me as soon as you get this.

Are you okay?

[Explosion]

[Explosion]

[Screams]

Oh, why..

Mr. Arkin.

This man was on board, Mr. Arkin.

He remembers an explosion.

For a woman of science, you have

a strong flare for dramatic, doctor.

Passengers are missing, Mr. Arkin.

What do you know about that?

Calm down, please.

Where are they?

Where is who?

Where are the other passengers?

Hiding from you, I bet.

This man remembers an explosion...

- You're making a fool of yourself.

- ..what's going on?

I know you.

No.

- Yes.

- No.

We've met before.

No, we haven't.

Can you help me remember, please?

Help me remember.

We have not met.

And if you'd excuse me, I'm busy.

- This man remembers an explosion.

- Hey, why do I know you?

Where do I know you from?

- Back off, sir. Back off.

- Who the hell are you?

- Please back off.

- You back off!

Stop it! Stop it!

You, son of a b*tch!

What did you do?

It's okay, folks.

Show's over.

You're not gonna get away with this.

This man remembers an explosion.

They--

Sir?

Sir?

Shannon, where are the others?

Shannon? Shannon, what's wrong?

Shannon, what's wrong? It's okay.

It's okay, calm down.

Claire.

Oh, God, it's okay.

C'mon.

The engine blew up.

It was right outside my window.

Oh, my God, Eric.

Sorry.

How are you feeling?

All right.

Where is your family, Shannon?

My parents died when I was six.

I was raised by an aunt.

We were not close.

What happened to them?

They died of a fall...

on a trail.. he was trying

to rescue her, and they both fell.

They were probably crushed

to be separated from you.

They left me alone.

They did do that.

I'm sure they knew that.

What would you tell them

that they don't know?

What would you tell them now?

I know that it was an accident.

Something that happened to them,

that they couldn't help.

What else?

I forgive them.

[Dog barking]

Eric?

- What's wrong?

- Shhh.

Eric, what is it?

That's my dog.

What?

That dog.

He's buried in my mom's backyard.

He died when I was six.

Eric?

I didn't survive the crash.

- Eric.

- I didn't survive.

Eric, look at me. Look at me.

You're fine. You're here with me, now.

You're here with me.

I didn't make it.

Yes, you did.

That's a neighbor's dog.

You're okay.

He's gone.

See, he's gone.

He's gone.

Wait.

Eric.

Eric!

Eric!

Eric!

Eric, stop!

Eric!

Eric!

Eric!

Eric!

Eric!

Stay away from me, Claire.

You stay away.

Eric, let's go home, okay?

C'mon, let's go.

Get away from me!

Just go!

Shannon?

Shannon?

- Claire?

- Shannon?

Hi, honey.

Have you seen a young woman?

She's my friend Shannon,

she was.. here.

Yeah, she just left.

By herself?

No, with a man and a woman.

Oh, Claire, you're tired,

you should get some rest.

No, no, my patients.. they are..

They'll be fine.

Eric will be fine, too.

I'll get you some tea.

Eric?

Eric.

I never told you his name.

Passengers are missing, all of them,

not just missing sessions...

they are missing.

What if survivors weren't even

accounted for? How does that happen?

I don't know. I'm..

how do you think it happens?

I think the airline is

targetting the passengers.

One by one, they are all disappearing.

Maybe, they don't need you anymore.

We got to stop this, Perry.

You're looking for the truth?

Yes!

When we lie, we make up

our lies with pieces.. of the truth.

What does that

have to do with this?

So, there must be some reason

why you've latched on...

to this elaborate theory

of a cover-up.

What?

Maybe it's gone as far as it can.

They got to you, Arkin got to you.

No. Claire.

It's not like that.

Don't you come near me.

Don't!

Is that why you brought me in?

To keep tabs on the passengers?

It's not me.

You don't know me.

They're dead.

They are all dead.

That pilot.. he was...

he was tired.

He was in the middle of a divorce.

He wasn't even in the cockpit

when it happened.

Did you know that?

Where was he?

He left it in the hands of the copilot.

He never should've done that.

It wasn't him.

The passengers saw that explosion

outside of the window.

No. It had nothing to do

with the pilot.

No.

He tried his best to land

the plane on the beach.

If anyone made it,

it was because of him.

You're wrong.

That man is hero.

You are wrong!

No.

It.. w..as... me..

What?

What did you say?

I'm in your seat. Sorry.

No, no, no..

No! No! No!

[Sobbing]

Good morning.

Good morning.

I found something.

What's that?

A list of passengers.

Why didn't you tell me?

It's not a sort of thing you can be told.

You gotta figure it out for yourself.

When you are ready.

Here you go.

Sorry.

- Oh, thank you.

- Sure.

Coming or going?

Going home.

Me, too.

Eric.

Claire Summers.

People come back to help you.

Come to terms, lead the way.

My grandfather came back for me.

I didn't even recognize him.

And my dog.

(sigh)

Who came back for you?

My aunt, Toni.

And Mr. Perry.

What about the other passengers?

They're like us.

Making their peace with it

before moving on.

Nobody survived the crash.

And everyone else?

They're just here

to help us find our way.

Can we.. hook up in town..

I promise not to bite.

Okay, I promise to bite.

Uh.. okay.

- Cool.

- Yeah.

Hey!

Oh, my God!

[Explosion]

Put this on.

Put it on. C'mon.

We're gonna die. We're gonna die.

No, we're gonna live.

Look at me. Hey, stay with me.

Look at me!

Emma, Emma, I love you.

Emma..

Get down with me.

Claire, c'mon. Get down with me.

Don't give up on me.

Don't give up on me. C'mon.

- We're not gonna make it.

- Yes, we are.

Yes, we are. Yes, we are.

Yes, yes!

You stay right here

with me, okay?

You stay here.

Don't go.

Stay with me.

I will be right up

with your sister's mail.
