The Mark Page #5
I'll see if I can find
something down here.
(Ted) No, nah, nah, nah, nah,
passengers can't bring anything
like that
on a plane anymore.
I don't see anything.
Do you have any tools up there?
Well, yeah,
in the cockpit.
Everything we
have now is plastic.
(Cooper) Yeah, even
the plastic explosive.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
I got all the tools
you need right here.
If I can get down there with
we'll pull that bulkhead
right off the wall
if that's what it takes.
The fire melted
the seam of this thing.
I just can't...
You wanna give it a shot?
Got a little light?
Chad?
What's going on down there?
Shh! Chad?
Chad?
(Chad)
Dao, pry-bar snapped.
Maybe the only way to do
this is to blow the door.
What's he saying?
Tell him he's
running out of time.
He's running out of time
when the captain says
he's running out of time!
Chad?
(Chad) I don't know what else to do.
I don't have
any more options.
(helpful male passenger)
You've had a rough day.
Yeah, sure wasn't
what I was expecting
when I was shaving
this morning.
Yeah, me neither.
Hey.
I just want to say thanks
for everything you've done.
You've got us this far.
(helpful male passenger) You think that's
really what happened, all those folks,
that it was the Rapture
and those that believe
in Jesus Christ were taken
and the rest of us
were left behind?
There is no other
explanation.
It's impossible.
And the only one that can
do the impossible is God.
Hey, I have faith
we can do this together.
I could use
Dao, we're going in.
We're gonna do this.
Okay! They can do it!
He's got 10 minutes.
Alright, let's get these
boxes out of the way.
I've got an idea.
All right,
let's ram this.
One...
two...
three!
(Chad)
I'm in.
(Chad)
Man, it is freezing in here.
They have to keep
the avionics cold
so it's gonna be a little
tight, all right?
Okay, you're gonna
have to crawl between
the instrument racks
towards the nose.
Almost all the way to the front
of the plane should be a hatch
to the cockpit; on it should
be a handle with a latch.
Turn it and press upwards.
Has he reached
the cockpit yet?
Chad?
Chad, what's going on
down there?
Found the hatch,
but it's not budging.
You think this thing could
be locked from the cockpit?
Come in, people.
Can you hear me?
- I'm going back down there.
- Wait, wait, wait!
Chad? Chad, you're just
gonna have to find another way.
(Cooper)
We have another way.
Chad, you're
running out of time.
(Chad)
Give me 5 more minutes, okay?
Five more minutes.
What for?
Five minutes, please?
Not a second more.
(Dao)
Okay.
All right, Chad,
what do you need?
Does anybody up there know
what kind of cooling system
the avionics runs on?
On the newer planes with
more advanced electronics,
they run liquid
cooling systems now.
It's possibly
liquid nitrogen.
Yeah, gotcha.
Chad, what are you doing?
(Chad) I'm just gonna try
a little college experiment.
We've got a problem
down here.
Chad, what's going on?
radio jamming device.
(Ted) Hey, hey, hey,
hey, whatever he does,
do not disconnect the liquid
nitrogen pumps, okay?
Those high-powered CPUs
will start to overheat
and they're gonna overtake
the plane's entire navigation
and guidance systems.
- Chad?
- Three minutes.
Three thousand feet.
What?
Wait, what did you say?
Ted says whatever you do,
don't disconnect the
liquid nitrogen pumps.
Chad?
Lord, give me strength.
Did you hear me?
Chad?
[warning alarm blaring]
Chad?
[passengers screaming]
[warning alarm continues]
Is everybody okay?
Are you okay?
Everybody okay?
We're gonna
blow that door, now.
Wait.
Chad?
Chad, this is Dao.
I don't know if you can
hear me, but if you can,
I just want you to know that
we all still believe in you
and you're gonna walk through
that door any minute now.
Blow that door now!
(Dao)
But if you can't,
I'm praying that we're gonna
make it through this.
Okay, I don't know why
you're not answering me
but I assume there's
a really good reason
and you're gonna walk through
that door any minute now
and if you just...
Chad, if you can hear me,
I'm gonna blow that door.
No!
Everybody step back.
Step back.
Get back behind the partition.
Okay, I've got it set
for 2 minutes.
On the count of three.
One...
two...
three!
Wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, it's Chad.
Okay, it's Chad.
(Chad)
Hey, Cooper.
Have a little faith.
Can you just go ahead
and remove that bomb
so he can get through?
Good for you, pal.
But I wouldn't be
celebrating just yet.
You're freezing.
(Cooper) We still got a plane to land.
Let's do it.
The Rapture.
All right,
how's it looking?
Okay, she's okay.
(male on radio) Thirty-five
people missing from my flight.
It's not possible.
Entire east end
of Bangkok is on fire...
Tokyo is burning
out of control...
Looters swarming through
the streets of Singapore.
(Dao)
So it's true.
It's really happening.
Well, at least we're safe.
No, no, no, we're not.
We still got a bomb
to take care of.
There's a bomb attached
to an altimeter,
and it looks to me as if
we go below 3,000 feet
that it's gonna blow.
They teach you how
to disarm those things
in flight attendant school?
(Dao) Well, they did
actually. I was sick that day.
(Cooper) Why can't we just toss it out,
I mean toss it
out of the plane?
Is that... is that possible...
I mean, what do you think?
Well, in theory
it could work.
If I get the plane
below 8,000 feet,
depressurize the cabin,
you go down below,
open the rear cargo door,
throw it out.
By the time we hit 3,000 feet,
the bomb will be triggered,
we'll be miles away.
Can we fly
with the door open?
(Ted) Well, technically you can
land a plane with the door open so...
Well, I don't think we should
let the passengers know though.
They've been through
a lot of trauma already.
(Ted) That's okay, I'll tell them
I have to depressurize the plane
as a safety precaution before we
land because of the explosion.
How are we gonna get a bomb
down through the passenger cabin
without anybody knowing it?
I can take care of that.
(Ted over intercom) Ladies and
gentlemen, as a safety precaution,
we'll be depressurizing
the plane during our descent,
so please fasten
your seatbelts.
[passengers applauding]
Be right back.
Cheer up, Mr. Turner.
You're a part of something
that's on the verge
of changing the world.
Don't forget that.
Hey, hey, hey.
Listen, this chip.
It's not a good thing
for the world like he says.
I can feel it.
This doesn't feel
like God's work.
It feels like
something else.
What do you mean?
I know this sounds crazy,
but the chip...
it's in the Bible.
It's the mark of the beast.
(Dao) All right, Ted, we're in now.
(Chad) We gotta get
this thing out of here
before we hit 3,000 feet.
Okay.
I'm gonna open the door.
