Turbulence Page #3

Got it?

- Give me your gun.

- No. Get him to drop his.

Stubbs may be a moron,

but he's a professional.

He won't let her go

until you're disarmed.

- I'm not giving you my gun.

- Why not?

I already have one.

I just didn't show it off like an idiot.

We have enough idiots onboard already.

You okay?

You sure?

You lost, Douglas.

I'll take that, cowboy.

- See, I am a professional.

- Stubbs, listen...

Not so tough now, are ya?

Look at me!

Let's have us

a little skydiving exhibition.

- What are you doing?

- This motherf***er's getting out!

- You can't open the door!

- Shut up!

Don't touch that door!

Shut up.

Okay, a**hole, open the door

and say "Geronimo"!

All right, you can say "Crazy Horse".

Just open the f***ing door.

No, she's telling you

the truth...

One, two, three!

Sh*t.

Carl, get the key.

Betty, follow me.

We'll notify the pilot.

Teri, get a pulse.

- He's still breathing.

- Okay, he's alive.

Get a blanket.

- We've got to get this open.

- What's the procedure here?

- We've got to get this open.

- What's the procedure here?

An emergency landing.

- I'll go to the flight deck.

- I'll go.

- You can't go. You're not in charge.

- Just save this man's life.

- You're trained for this. I'm not.

- Carl, go with him.

Give me the key to the cockpit.

Come on.

Could you help me with my wife?

Please? Please?

- Betty, get some water, please.

- Maybe some more blankets.

American National 890,

Cleveland Center.

We've lost radio control

with Trans Con 47.

He's at your 5 o'clock, 15 miles

opposite direction, 2000 above you.

Could you relay to him to contact

Indy Center now on 128.3?

He's in distress.

American National 890.

Roger, Cleveland.

That's Indy Center

on 128.3.

Cleveland Center,

American National 890.

No reply from Trans Con 47.

Do you have another frequency

you want us to try?

Negative, American National 890.

Thanks for your help.

This is Trans Con 47 heavy.

This is Trans Con 47 heavy.

We are declaring an emergency.

Would like to descend

immediately.

We've lost all communication

with Trans Con 47.

The plane took a steep dive, but

has since leveled off and seems steady.

- It's off the airway...

- We've got a major storm ahead.

We've located the plane.

It's on autopilot.

If it continues

its present heading...

All right, notify the FAA

and get me the FBI.

Marcy, priority call.

Go and check.

How is he?

Oh, God. This is bad.

What did Ted say?

He bumped his head pretty bad,

but he's okay.

He's got clearance. We'll be on

the ground in about 20 minutes.

Jesus God.

- What's the matter?

- Nothing.

Are you all right?

Yeah, I'm fine.

It's a wonderful life.

When we land, what happens then?

I'll be transferred back

to death row...

and I'll wait in my little cell

until however long it takes.

Have you ever been married, Teri?

I was engaged.

"Was engaged"?

He broke it off.

I always wanted to be married,

have a family...

a kid.

I always wanted a son.

I don't know why I always

do this to myself.

Did you do what they say you did?

No. I never killed anyone.

Because what you did up here

is save lives... my life.

That's not going to mean anything

down there.

They'll think I orchestrated

the whole thing.

It will matter.

You don't know the guy

that framed me.

Who's that?

They give you a last meal,

but I'm gonna ask for a last song.

Maybe the beat in my head

will distract me...

when they stick the needle in my arm

and watch me die.

We're not descending.

Maybe he hasn't found

a good spot yet.

I'm gonna go check.

I'll be back down.

Okay.

Trans Con 47,

do you read?

Please acknowledge on emergency

frequency 133.75 megahertz.

Trans Con 47 heavy,

from company CMC...

we're assuming

lost communication.

If you read, squawk ident.

Sh*t.

Ted?

Trans Con 47,

if you read, acknowledge...

on emergency frequency

I repeat, 133.75.

Trans Con 47, if you copy,

please acknowledge.

Bingo!

Someone just flashed his ident.

Okay, Trans Con 47, we got you.

We copy your ident.

Please contact on

emergency frequency 133.75.

I repeat, 133.75.

What's the status

on those two prisoners?

Trans Con 47,

if you can hear me, squawk ident.

- Are you positive?

- I saw it clear as day!

Someone hit that switch.

Maybe it wasn't

one of the pilots.

Then who's flying

the goddamn plane?

- The plane is on autopilot.

- Maybe they're trying to communicate.

Maybe they can hear the broadcast

and haven't figured out how to respond.

We need an instructor pilot.

I need a 747 200 right now...

less than 500 miles radius

from that Trans Con.

Tower Air 91, CMC.

Tower Air 91, CMC.

Captain Bowen, you're now

linked for relay on 133.75.

We'll be standing by.

Trans Con 47, this is Tower 91

on Trans Con crisis request.

If anyone can hear me, press the "ident"

button on the far right of the console.

Repeat.

Find the "ident" button...

on the far right side,

about halfway up, and press it.

Trans Con 47, we got you.

We copy your ident.

Well done, Tower 91.

Roger, CMC.

Good show, Trans Con 47.

Now find the VHF tuning panel

on the middle left side of the console.

It has two small frequency windows

marked "active" and "standby".

The active frequency

should read 133.75...

in green numbers.

Four inches below that is a small

switch marked "R-stroke-T INT".

That's your transmit switch.

Whoever you are, position your

boom mike in front of your mouth.

When I tell you, push the R/T switch

forward, say your name...

then let go of that switch

to listen.

Do it now.

My name is Teri.

Teri Halloran.

Pleased to meet you, Teri.

Captain Samuel Bowen here.

Remember, when you need to speak,

push the R/T switch up...

hold it there, talk,

then release it.

- You got that?

- Got it.

Trans Con 47...

this is Rachel Taper,

Trans Con Crisis Management Center.

Are you a passenger?

I'm a flight attendant.

My employee number is...

We don't need that right now.

- What is your flight crew's status?

- Dead.

One of the prisoners escaped.

There was a shoot-out.

All the marshals are dead.

It's a mess. What do I do?

This is Frank Sinclair, FBI.

Who is actually flying the aircraft?

Nobody.

I'm up here all alone.

Where is the cabin crew?

Below with the other prisoner,

Ryan Weaver.

- Oh, God.

- Keep her calm.

Is this plane going to crash?

No, it's not.

How do you know?

Because we're monitoring

your flight systems...

on the central

maintenance computer.

But isn't there a storm ahead?

Don't we have to land?

Teri, you've got to stay calm.

The most important thing

for you to do is stay calm.

Okay.

I'm calm. Now what?

Whatever you do,

don't touch the autopilot switch.

I won't.

The good news is...

you're flying the most

sophisticated plane ever built.

Great. But what if this

"sophisticated plane"...

flies into

an unsophisticated storm?

I hear you, Teri.

This plane has

a great track record.

Patch me through

to the Department of Defense.

Teri, we need you to stay calm.
