The Langoliers

Unloading of passengers only.

No parking.

Do not leave your car unattended.

She's just an innocent bystander.

So, what's new?

Tell them I won't do it.

It has to be done

by next Thursday, Nick.

And make sure it happens

in Boston where he lives.

I'll see you in London on Saturday.

We'll have a pint to celebrate.

The white zone

is for immediate loading

and unloading of passengers only.

No parking.

Do not leave your car unattended.

Mr. Toomy, Mr. Toomy!

Thank God I caught you.

I checked over the figures

on those foreign bonds you bought,

and as it turns out, you haven't made

$43 million, you've lost it.

- I know.

- You know?

Of course.

I'm the head of the Bond Department.

- Talk to you from Boston.

- Mr. Toomy, you can't go to Boston.

All of these transactions

were personally authorised by you.

The board of directors

will crucify you.

I know, that's why I have to go.

Now, I suggest you just relax,

because everything's gonna be fine.

In fact, it's gonna be wonderful.

There's something strange

inside that man's head.

Later, Dinah.

Now that I've given you a lift

to the airport,

do you wanna tell me

why you're going to Boston?

Stop it, Doris. I'm not gonna

tell you and you know it.

Yes, but this is just so unlike you.

Flying off to some strange city

for no reason,

not even telling your best

friend why.

AP Flight 29 to Boston.

Oh, gosh, that's my flight.

I gotta go. Bye.

- Bye.

- This is to announce the boarding of...

I'm sorry.

- Departing from Gate 51.

- Bye.

- Bye.

Damn these gauges,

they don't tell us anything.

That pressure leak

could have been anywhere.

Don't worry about it.

It's the engineers' problem now.

How can I not worry about it?

You know what a pressure blowout

can do.

We were all damn near human pt.

Oh, man.

Maybe I've been doing this

for too long.

- Captain Engle?

- Yeah,

but I don't know what to tell you.

We couldn't find that pressure leak.

This isn't about the leak, captain.

Could I talk to you outside, please?

Why? What's wrong?

Outside, please.

You wanna tell me what's going on?

It's about your wife.

My wife?

You mean my ex-wife.

We're divorced. Why, what about her?

There's been an accident.

Perhaps you'd better come up

to my office.

What about Annie?

How badly has she been hurt?

Is she dead?

Yes. I'm afraid she is.

There was a fire in her apartment.

Are you all right, captain?

Yeah.

It's just a shock, that's all.

There's a redeye

leaving for Boston now.

You can deadhead back on it

if you want.

Yeah, I guess I'd better.

Ladies and gentlemen,

American Pride Flight 29 to Boston

is now boarding passengers

in all rows. Please...

Looks like a full flight.

Yeah, I guess.

What's the weather like?

Clouds at 20,000 feet from the

Great Plains all the way to Boston.

Oh, and we've had sightings of the

aurora borealis over the Mojave Desert.

Northern lights?

Over California at this time of year?

Who knows? The weather's

been really freaky this year.

I asked for a window seat

and that's what I'd like.

- See right there?

- Yes.

It says where your seat is.

I want a window seat.

- Why don't you talk to the...?

- No,

why don't you talk

to the ticketing agent?

I only wanna talk to you.

- I don't wanna be her problem.

- One on every flight, isn't there?

Always.

And since we have a very full flight

this evening,

we ask that you kindly place all bags

and carryon articles

securely in the overhead luggage

compartments

or under the seat in front of you.

If you are interested in assistance,

the flight attendant

will come by to help.

Well, I guess this is it, captain.

Have a nice trip.

And my condolences.

Thank you.

Pardon me.

Excuse me.

Roger, American Flight 29,

you're clear for takeoff.

Have a good flight to Boston.

Our flight tonight will take us over

the Rocky Mountains and Denver,

past Des Moines

and up over to St. Louis,

then on into the Boston area.

So, folks, relax and enjoy the flight,

and thank you

for flying American Pride.

Aunt Vicki, could I have a glass

of water, please?

Aunt Vicki?

Aunt Vicki.

Would somebody

speak to me, please?

I'm sorry, but my aunt's gone

and I'm blind.

Hello? Is anybody here?

Anybody?

Dear God, please let someone

be here.

Anyone, anyone at all.

It's all right, it's all right, it's all right.

- What's wrong?

- Where is everybody?

They've gone, they've all gone.

What do you mean, "Where's

everybody?" They're all right here...

What happened? Did we land while

I was asleep and let the others off?

Where's my aunt? I want my aunt.

- Please, I want my aunt.

- You're gonna be all right.

- What's your name?

- Dinah.

I can't find my aunt.

I'm blind and I can't see her.

I woke up and her seat was empty.

Who was screaming?

- Is the plane in trouble, mister?

- Where is everybody?

What's going on?

Are we in Boston already?

I want my aunt now.

Aunt Vicki. Aunt Vicki?

Hey. What the hell is going on here?

Will someone shut this brat up?

You're not alone. There are other

people here. Can you hear them?

Yeah, I can hear them.

But where's Aunt Vicki?

- And who's been killed?

- Killed?

Has someone been killed?

Have we been hijacked?

- No one has been killed.

- I felt her hair.

Someone cut off her hair.

- One, two, three, four, five, six...

- There's 10,

counting yourself

and the bloke asleep in first class.

What about the crew?

Anybody know about them?

Not yet, I was just about to find out.

Will you stay with the girl?

- Yeah, all right, but what's happening?

- Come back with some answers.

All right, everybody, just calm down.

Hello, you guys, open up.

Hello.

So, what do you think happened?

Do you think the plane landed

and let the other passengers off?

I don't know. I was asleep.

You're a teacher, aren't you?

That's right, sweetie. The 5th grade.

How did you know that?

It's in your voice.

Miss Lee, my teacher

at the blind school,

sounds just like you.

If you'll excuse me, I think

I'm going forward to join our friend.

I want to know what is going on here

and I want to know right now.

Nor am I a bit surprised.

You said before

that you had felt someone's hair.

- What did you mean by that?

- Over there on one of the seats,

I felt someone's hair.

This? This is a wig.

It's not a human scalp.

Is that what you felt?

What do you see?

Nothing, just mountains

and darkness.

Hello?

Hello. Hello?

What's wrong? The flight crew

disappear with everybody else?

Yeah. No. I don't know.

They're not answering my calls

- and the door's locked from the inside.

- I was afraid of that.

Sorry to get your wind up.

Nick Hopewell.

I am praying, sir, that the pilot's cap

I noticed on one of the first-class seats

belongs to you.

It does. Captain Engle.

But under the circumstances,

you can call me Brian.

I'll call you saviour if we find

what I expect to find

on the other side of that door.

Well, let's try and get it open,

shall we?

Okay.
