Red Eye Page #5

Synopsis: This is the story of a young resourceful heroine named Lisa Reisert who hates to fly, but the terror that awaits her on the night flight to Miami has nothing to do with a fear of flying! Upon boarding the plane, Lisa is trapped on a red-eye flight with a creepy villainous handsome and charming man by the name of Jackson Rippner, who's playing middle-man in the plot to assassinate a Homeland Security official. He's got her father pinned down by a would-be killer, using that advantage to coerce Lisa into phoning the luxury resort where she works and arranging to move the target into a pre-set position.

Make the call.

Your part of the deal.

- I still need you.

- You promised.

I'll keep that.

Soon as we're on the ground,

I'll get confirmation

Keefe's been handled.

While you wait,

what if your guy decides to kill my dad

- because you didn't make the call?

- He doesn't move

unless I say so. He's a good dog.

He responds only to his master's voice.

It'll all be over soon.

The Keefes will be history,

your dad will be safe,

we'll both go back...

- What did you say?

- What?

His family's with him?

You're gonna kill his family too?

Somebody wants to send a big brash

message, that's their business.

I do my part, move on.

Oh, my God.

Lisa...

Hi, welcome to the Lux Atlantic.

Welcome to the Lux Atlantic.

Hi. Here are all your keys.

We're putting you in suite 4080.

Manager got that approved.

4080? We're in 3825.

- 4080. Beautiful suite.

- We're always in 3825.

Except, we've got a bad

plumbing problem in 3825.

4080, toilets are good.

They want us to switch rooms.

We made redundant reservations.

We can go to the Hilton.

Charles. The kids are exhausted.

- Who made the approval?

- Lisa Reisert.

It's OK, I know her.

- We need to sweep the room.

- Well, get on it.

Yes, sir.

Well, we've begun

our initial descent into Miami.

We'll have you on the ground soon. We

know you have many choices when you fly.

On behalf of the crew,

thank you for choosing Fresh Air.

- Seat in the upright position.

- How long till we land?

We should be touching down

in just a few minutes.

Ma'am. Please put

your seat up. Thank you.

In preparation for landing,

make sure your seat belts are fastened

and your seats in the upright

positions with tray tables stowed.

Thank you.

What's wrong now?

You hit me on the head and slammed

me against the wall, remember?

Well, suck it up.

We've come too far.

Don't blow it now.

Come on, sit up. Sit up, Leese.

We're almost there.

- Anything?

- Not much. A yacht.

Way out there. Fishing, I think.

- Call it in.

- Right away.

Flight attendants,

secure the cabin for arrival in Miami.

We have gate information for those

of you continuing your travel.

A gate attendant will help you.

Thank you for your patience

throughout this flight.

Have a pleasant day.

At the gate,

I'll follow you into the terminal,

we'll hit Starbucks,

grab a couple of lattes,

kill 10, 15 minutes till I get the call

that Keefe's been taken out.

And then I walk outta your life.

Once I'm outta your line of sight, I'll

call off Mr Killer from outside Dad's

and then you're free.

Free to yell and scream,

call your dad, tell him to run

to the neighbour's. Sound good?

Whatever you say.

What, no questions?

What good have they done me so far?

Best question you've asked all night.

Flight attendants, please be seated.

Ladies and gentlemen,

on behalf of your Fresh Air crew,

we'd like to welcome you to Miami.

The weather is 79 and sunny.

- It's all clear down below.

- Catch much today?

Not yet, sir.

- Sorry for the intrusion, sir.

- Hey, no problem.

- You guys have a good one.

- Thanks.

- Good luck, fellas.

- Thanks.

Thirteen, sergeant one on central.

- All right, we're clear.

- OK, let's go.

Coast Guard says it's all clear.

Bring 'em up.

It happened in a parking lot.

The scar.

Two years ago.

In the middle of the day.

He held a knife to my throat...

...the whole time.

Ever since, I've been

trying to convince myself

of one thing, over and over.

That it was beyond your control.

No.

That it would never happen again.

Excuse me.

Lady!

I have a flight to catch. Sorry.

You all right?

Oh, God! We need help back here!

Oh, my God.

- Is anyone a doctor?!

- Excuse me. Sorry.

- A man needs help.

- Stay right there.

Help! Help!

- One minute, miss, please.

- We need a doctor!

Stay... OK, everyone, please

remain calm and return to your seats.

- There goes your pen, dude.

- We need an ambulance.

Hey, stop that woman.

She stabbed the guy!

We have an emergency.

Security to the M-2 gate.

Attention, Security.

Request for assistance, code three,

gate M-2. Security, code three.

- Did you see where she went?

- Right around the corner.

I'm really thirsty.

Hi. I'm Wendy

from airport food services.

- Have you dined at our terminal before?

- Yeah.

I used to...

Where did she go?

Sir!

OK, we have a doctor for you.

Don't speak. Don't wanna

damage your vocal cords.

It doesn't look bad.

It's your windpipe.

It's not dangerous really. No, don't!

Sir. Sir!

- Hey, you need a hospital!

- Sir!

You're gonna have to fill out

a report to the police!

- That's my scarf!

- Whoa.

- Passengers for Flight 1221, 1221,

- Come on.

- We're boarding rows...

- Come on.

No! Sh*t!

Gate M-2!

M-2. M-2, all the way up!
