They bring the prisoner to the place where clients are arguing the owner of the charter services and pilot Cathy Garrett because she refuses to take off with the bad weather and the communications are down due to the snow storm. Jack asks to go to the toilet being escorted by the guards; however, in the bathroom, a preacher attacks and kills the guards and when Jack kills him, his body vanishes. Jack returns to the lobby and when the security guard holds him, he accidentally shots a passenger, but the woman does not die until Jack shots her head and her body also disappears.

You're flying me out.

- I can't.

- You will.

I can't.

Mister, please, what's your name?

I don't want to tell you my name.

David Higgins.

Mr. Higgins, please, just calm down.

You could be one of those things.

You could all be!

Hey, buddy,

we're as human as you are. All right?

- Stay back, please.

- It's okay, Mr. Higgins.

All right. I know you're scared.

Just give me the gun.

Who are you? Just stay away from me!

- You'll get hurt here, sir.

- Please.

Give me the gun, now.

Please.

You shot him.

He's gone.

You killed him.

Look, nothing's happening.

He was a person.

He wasn't one of them.

I didn't know. I didn't know.

Okay, folks, let's try this again.

You don't want to do that. Toss it here.

Left hand. That gun, too.

Anyone tries to buffalo me...

go for a gun, go for help,

I won't think twice about putting you down.

Now you listen to me, and you're

going to stay alive. You understand?

You. I want to see you in private.

The rest of you sit tight.

How can I get out of here?

- You're free. Go.

- You know what I'm talking about.

- I can't take off in this weather.

- The weather will change.

Even if the storm stopped...

we'd still have to clear the runway

and de-ice the wings.

Okay, what else?

Promise me nobody else gets hurt.

They might not even be people.

What if they are?

I'm not leaving them behind.

They could all be aliens.

We figure out who's who.

I see. We just take the ones that are us

and leave the rest behind.

Okay. How?

I have your word, right?

No one gets hurt. No one dies.

I want your word.

Or you can shoot me

and fly your own damn self out of here.

Okay. This is the lonitech Corporation's

DSR 4400 Series x-ray machine.

Features a folded photo diode display

with horizontal beam orientation...

non-reflective shielding,

colour-enhanced video display monitor...

and a conveyor belt capable

of a 500-pound individual load.

This is the latest in security technology.

You're not seriously suggesting

we go through that like baggage?

It could be the only way of proving

who's human and who's not.

Or the only way of giving us all cancer.

I'm not doing it.

Whoever passes gets on that plane.

Whoever doesn't, doesn't.

My wife and I will go first.

- Don't volunteer me.

- I'm negotiating.

We'll go first but when we get to

the other side, I want two first class seats.

It's a charter plane.

All the seats are the same.

Some must be better than others.

I'm not getting inside that machine.

Yes, you are.

Great. Now he knows my name.

The killer knows my name.

What will he do, send you a Christmas card?

Cut the chatter.

Would it help if I go first?

Ain't no way that thing

will hold you, chubby.

Hey. It's the 4400.

It's upgraded for maximum security.

Can hold a 500-pound load

of freight or baggage.

You better take off your shoes, then.

We have no way of knowing if this will work.

There's no guarantee

it'll tell any difference...

between any of us or any of them.

He's got a point.

Let's just try it.

We send pets through all the time.

See? Not a problem.

Oh, my God, he's one of those things!

Kill it.

Don't shoot! Don't shoot!

What're you waiting for?

It's just my... It's just my extra magazine.

Sorry about that.

Can I get my gun back now?

You be good to your word,

we'll be good to ours.

All right, who's next?

We are.

Ladies first.

- I'll be right behind you.

- Shut up.

Okay, you're next, Gloria.

Please...

This really isn't necessary, is it?

Cathy, I can't.

I'm afraid, I'm terrified. I'm claustrophobic.

I'd vouch for you, Gloria, but the

others will probably feel safer if we all go.

Don't worry, it won't hurt you.

You're next, killer.

Me? What about her? What about you?

Because I say so.

I'll shoot anyone who doesn't do what I say.

Man has a point. Listen to the man.

What the hell?

That doesn't look right.

What is that?

Be careful.

You don't know what's in there.

Gloria?

Back away.

Hello. This is Allen Air 01. Come back.

Anyone, this is Allen Air 01.

Anybody.

Give it a rest.

You've been at that for half an hour.

This is an airport.

The radios have to work in all weather.

I'm sure you have a point.

I sell electronics equipment

and something about this just isn't right.

Something's not right

about a lot of things, Armani.

Seems like it should work,

but the signal's scrambled.

Alien jamming, babe.

So what do they want?

I don't know.

Whatever it is, they're willing to kill for it.

And what are we supposed to do?

Disappoint them.

- Who was the last person that used this?

- Gloria.

The old broad?

I trusted her.

- I thought I knew her.

- You never really know anybody.

There must be a way to get a message out

and let people know we've been invaded.

Boo.

How's the weather out there, boss?

It's snowing.

Soldier?

We put him in the bathroom with the others.

I'll need some more clothes. Pack me a bag.

It's cold in Canada this time of year.

- I don't know your sizes.

- Work it out. You, help her.

Yo, Cap. Got to get something to eat.

What's up with the grub?

Kitchen's closed.

Try the vending machines in back.

- Cool with you, boss?

- Yeah.

Yo, Armani, let's eat.

- You're letting everyone out of your sight.

- Yes, I am.

Any one of them

could be one of those things.

Makes no difference to me.

You're my pilot. That's all I care about.

- Where are the kids?

- Damn!

You stay. I'll find them.

What're you afraid of? I can't go anywhere.

One way or another, Jack,

you're gonna have to trust me.

All right, go, but bring them back quick.

And be careful.

Anybody in here?

Kids, is that you?

Kids, what're you guys doing in here?

- Nothing.

- Nothing? What's that behind you?

Radio.

We were just playing.

Is this working? Did you hear anything?

Any voices?

No, just...

Want to play a game?

Sure.

It requires you to be extra alert.

I'm going to try to call someone

on the radio.

I want you both to stand over here, okay?

If you see or hear anybody,

I want you to tell me right away.

- Okay?

- Okay.

Let's start.

CQ 1, this is Allen Municipal Airport.

Come in, please.

CQ 1, this is Allen Airport.

We have an emergency. Please come in.

If anyone hears me,

we've an emergency crisis...

that requires law enforcement personnel.

Yeah. That's what I'm talking about.

Armani, come check this out.

What's your preference, man?

- Nothing for me.

- You aren't eating?

My diet doesn't allow for high fats

or processed sugars.

Say what?

High glucose levels stimulate

a hyper-insulin imbalance in my body...

which could result in diabetic reactions

or altered mood swings.

Meaning you can gun down

more than one person a day.

I'll have a candy bar.

I'm going to get some more.

All out. Got any change?

No.

Yeah, baby! Always wanted to do that.

That's what I'm talking about.

So, what does a well-dressed convict

wear on the run?

The important thing to remember

is to travel light.

You don't want too much weight.
