The Mark Page #2

12 hours to get to Berlin.

We hope you'll

enjoy the flight.

Thank you for flying

Transpacific Airways.

What would you

like to drink?

(female passenger)

Nothing for me, thanks.

And for you, Mr. Turner?

Pineapple juice,

thank you.

(Dao) What can I get you to drink, sir?

(male passenger)

Oh, yes, coffee please.

(Dao)

Coffee.

[knocking on door]

(co-pilot)

Hey, where's Jen?

Oh wow,

nice to see you too, Ted.

(captain) You're gonna have to cut

him some slack tonight, darling.

(Dao)

Why? No!

Show her, Ted.

Here it is.

Wow, that is beautiful.

Where? When?

Details, details.

Well, you're not gonna do it

during drink service, I hope.

No. No, no.

Well, I thought I would take

her for a moonlight stroll,

ending up at that bridge,

you know the one that she loves

in East Berlin?

Sounds perfect.

Yeah? I hope so.

Why can't I meet

someone decent here.

(captain) Hey, I

introduced you two first.

- That is true.

- True, lost your chance.

- Congratulations.

- Thank you.

Okay, I'm out

of here, boys.

Remember, mum's the word.

Hey there, Dao,

how are you?

Hello again,

Mr. Turner.

Same thing as last time?

(Chad)

Please.

Long flight, huh?

Thank you.

So, how long ago

did he die?

It's been years now.

Time really doesn't make a

difference though, does it?

Excuse me.

You still serving?

Yes, what can

I get you?

What do you got?

Pineapple juice.

Ooh, yummy.

That sounds good.

I'll have

what he's having.

Sure.

(female) So, you and your buddy

over there take this route often?

My buddy?

Yeah.

I don't know what

you're talking about.

Sure you do.

Guy over there,

sitting right behind you.

You like her,

don't you?

Who?

Her, Day-o.

It's Dao.

(female)

Oh.

That way.

I'm Jodi, by the way.

(Chad)

Chad.

So you guys are

with Avanti, aren't you?

You and your buddy over there

that keeps looking over,

the one you're not with?

It's my job to know when

people are hiding something.

I'm guessing

you're what, security?

What are you,

a detective?

Journalist.

(Chad)

Ha, I should have known.

There.

We're in.

Good.

You got 5 minutes.

(Jodi) So you want to know how

I know you're with Avanti, Chad?

(Chad)

I'm just dying, Jodi.

(Jodi)

Your buddy's watch.

Last year Avanti's top 20

executives were awarded

an $80,000 Patek Philippe watch,

and your buddy over there,

he's wearing one.

Hmm, all that really proves

is that you need to get yourself

a hobby or maybe...

maybe a boyfriend?

(Jodi) Both true facts,

but far from the point.

The point is I know

that the G20 Summit

is next week in Berlin,

and I know that Avanti

is supposed to make some kind

of big announcement there.

So I'm willing to bet that

that is where you are going.

Radios.

Hurry, up, Jiri.

So Cap, where did

you get engaged?

It was after a single's

volleyball game

and we were in the back

of a Volkswagen Bug.

- No way.

- Yeah.

That's not very romantic.

No, I'm not

very good at that.

You know Jen's

a Christian.

Yeah, of course.

How are you

gonna handle that?

Yeah, I know.

I guess we just, you know,

we don't really talk about it.

You should

talk about it.

You think so?

I do.

Hmm.

I'm gonna get a coffee.

(captain)

Give her a kiss for me.

- I will.

- And get me a ginger ale.

Okay.

Don't you see

what's happening?

This Summit is just

a smokescreen

for what's really going on.

All right Jodi, why don't you

tell me what's really going on.

Our financial system

is collapsing

into a global power-grab

by the wealthy bankers,

the politicians,

and big business.

Think European union,

only much bigger.

The entire world under

a single currency,

a single bank,

and eventually, a single leader.

Are we talking about Satan?

Here, go back up.

So you have

read the Bible.

Yeah.

Then you know

how this lays out.

You gotta admit,

this looks a lot

like the beginning of the

end; it looks a lot like

the Tribulation.

Look, to me,

it's just another book.

How can you say that?

Because I live in reality.

Excuse me.

Hurry up! Hurry up!

Oh, hi Ted.

Are you lost?

Cockpit's that way.

No, I actually

I was just...

Dao, do you know where

I can get anymore of the...

Oh, hi!

Hi.

Okay, I'm out of here.

(Mr. Pike)

Well, hurry up.

We're behind schedule.

(Jiri)

I've reached the avionics.

I'm going in.

- Your newspaper.

- Well, thank you, sir.

Excuse me, would you

like something to drink?

- Coffee, please.

- Okay.

[screaming]

(Cooper voiceover) What happened is

you just became a very valuable man.

(Jodi voiceover) I know that the

G20 Summit is next week in Berlin,

and I know that Avanti's

supposed to make

some kind of big

announcement there, so...

(Dao) All right, you two,

who's flying the plane

and who's tending

to the passengers?

No, he didn't!

Isn't it beautiful?

Oh!

(Ted) What? I couldn't wait.

What do you want from me?

It was burning

a hole in my pocket.

It's absolutely gorgeous.

- Thank you.

- Congratulations, guys.

(Dao) Ladies and gentlemen, I

have an announcement to make.

No, no, don't!

We are currently

cruising at 34,000 feet

and flight time

is approximately...

Altimeter set.

All right.

Just wait for my signal.

- Oh, excuse me.

- No problem.

I just got engaged.

Yes, congratulations.

Thanks, I'd give you a cigar

but it's a non-smoking flight.

- Isn't that for a baby?

- What?

A cigar.

Oh, yeah, you're right.

Yeah, no,

we're not there yet.

- Did I hear engagement?

- Yeah, it just happened.

(male passenger)

That's great.

Hey, I'm an ordained minister

if y'all want to get it

out of the way here

on the plane.

- Excuse me.

- Oh, yes, of course.

Yeah, you know what?

I don't think that she would

go for that, like, at all,

but thank you.

(Chad's brother voiceover) You know everybody

has their own purpose in life, Chad.

And everything

happens for a reason.

All life has

meaning and purpose.

It all does.

You know the Bible says,

"Blessed are those who

read and hear the prophecy

and take it to heart

because the time is near."

Little brother,

I seen the horrors of war.

I watched a 12-year-old girl

take a bullet,

died right there

on my arms, okay?

Why would God let an

innocent child die like that?

The death of a child is...

it's always a tragic event, man,

it always is.

But let me guess, you got

an answer for me, right?

'Cause you always have

an answer for everything.

No, not everything.

This one, I think I do.

- Really?

- Yeah.

Enlighten me.

You know, I believe

the child's purpose

was to ensure that

you survived.

She took that bullet

that was meant for you

in order for you to live

out your purpose in life.

Oh, I didn't see you there.

Can I, help you

with something?

Ah, ginger ale.

- Looking for something, Ted?

- Oh, hey Dao.

Uh, yeah, ginger ale

for the Cap.

(Dao)

Oh, it's back there.

Hang on.

Jennifer?

Jennifer, you back there?

Let me just go

get a few, okay?

Okay, thanks.
