we're gonna die.

They're flying us into

a building. We're gonna die.

We should not interfere

with them.

There's a lot of us,

but we gotta do something.

You see how low we are?

Is there a weapon?

Is there something we can use?

Go back. You go back.

Stewardess, listen to me.

Are you listening?

I'm listening.

Go back and you get

everything you can...

You get every weapon you can. Get

whatever we can use as a weapon.

But what are we gonna do?

We don't... I... We'll figure that

out, but get every weapon we can.

Sh*t. Sh*t. Sh*t.

Okay. Okay.

Go get it. Get

everything you can.

Okay, we need every big guy.

Every big guy.

Every big guy. Luggage.

Luggage. We need weapons.

Get back here. Get back here.

Get back here. Okay.

We need to boil water.

For what? We gotta get water?

We gotta get weapons.

Promise me that Emmy

is going to know

that I just love her

very much.

What else can we use?

What else?

Wine bottles.

Forks, knives.

The guy that I was sitting in front of

said that he doesn't think the bomb is real.

That's all I know.

He's on his way back.

Come up with a plan, I'm

gonna calm the other passengers

and we'll go along with

whatever plan you come up with.

You've gotta...

Sit down. Sit down!

Oh, God.

So, what do we do?

What do you have?

We got the forks,

knives, hot water...

Hot water...

Yeah, I gave him

the fire extinguisher.

Just let them go.

Hey! Sit! Sit! Just let

them go. Just let them go.

Hey, come on.

Okay.

Okay.

They have a bomb!

Do you really think he'd get

a bomb onboard this plane?

Yeah, that guy in front of you

said he didn't think it was real.

I know. That's what

I think, too.

How does he get a bomb

onboard this plane?

Jack, are you there?

Wake up, sweetie.

Okay.

I just want to

tell you I love you.

We're going back

to the airport.

I love you. I gotta give

the phone to Linda now.

Bye, Dad.

I just love you more than

anything. Know that.

I, well...

Please tell my family

I love them, too. Bye, honey.

Please give my love

to Mom and Dad.

And I really, really love you.

My safe is in the bedroom

in the closet.

The combination is

and it should open.

My will is inside.

I'm trained in hand-to-hand,

I'm trained in judo. So...

Okay. So we go up

right behind you.

We have to go very fast.

Okay. Absolutely.

And I'm gonna... I don't give a

f*** if that thing is real or not.

I'm going to get his arm, I'm gonna

get his arm and I'm gonna break his arm.

We need a plan.

We need a plan.

We're gonna do something.

Ahmed. Ahmed!

What is he doing? Oh, my God.

Hey, no talk!

So what...

Hey! You!

What is it? What?

Stop!

Somebody else?

Okay! Okay! Okay!

Oh, my God.

Okay.

Just stay calm.

Just stay calm.

You guys are all right?

Sit! Sit!

Hey, sit! Sit!

Oh, my God!

Get your seat belts on!

You're not supposed to be able to

see the ground that low, are you?

No, and not this fast!

Hello? 911?

Yes, hijacking in progress.

I'm in the bathroom.

United flight 93.

Yeah, I love you, too, Fred.

Goodbye.

You call your people.

Oh, Christ, it's not real.

I understand.

It's not real,

so I can handle it myself.

Go for the detonator first.

How do we get into

the cockpit door?

Breakaway panels.

Just take him down.

You go after me...

Absolutely.... but you go fast. Listen.

I'm listening! But we need to know

who's gonna f***ing fly the plane!

Go for his throat!

What?

He said he could fly!

He said he can fly!

He can fly a plane.

Listen, I think we might have a pilot.

They said there's a pilot onboard!

We got a pilot.

What? Who? Who?

Which one?

This guy right here.

Down there. Third row.

On the right.

Third row, third row.

Okay! Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay.

You were a pilot?

Yeah.

I mean, a single engine,

I mean, you know?

Right. Right, right.

You can fly this plane?

I don't know. I mean, I'll try. Okay.

'Cause we're gonna

get you up there.

I understand. That's why we've

gotta do something right now.

You got a plan?

Come on!

Now, we're gonna take you up

to the front of the plane.

You can come up behind us.

Okay. If you can get me in there,

I think I might be able to land it, but

I need a lot of help from the ground.

I can talk you down. I can talk

you down. I did eight years ATC.

Okay.

You did? Listen.

When you get me in there, you've

gotta get ahold of the controls,

because if he does anything

sudden, we don't have enough room,

to pull out of it. Okay? You

gotta get him off the controls.

What the f*** is he doing?

I don't know.

Okay, there's a pilot.

We've got to get the pilot.

We have to do something, right?

I mean, he's all over the place.

I understand.

We are alone up here.

Nobody is going to help us.

We've got to do it. Okay?

Who is the pilot?

I don't know.

Hi, Mom, it's me.

I'm on the plane

that's been hijacked.

I'm just calling to tell you

that I love you, and goodbye.

This really kind woman handed me

the phone and she said to call you.

If I don't make it out of this alive, will

you please promise that you'll call my family?

Thank you.

Just tell them I love them.

Tell my wife and my boys

that I love them.

Here, take these. There's

more. Pass these along. Here.

Who is the f***ing pilot?

In the brown shirt.

Phil, Phil, it's me. I've been

on a plane that's been hijacked.

Listen, a bunch of the guys

have got together

and they said that we're gonna,

like, try and take over the plane.

But, baby, I promise you, if I get

out of this, I'm quitting tomorrow.

I'll quit tomorrow.

I promise, I'll quit tomorrow.

And tell my babies

I love them.

Our Father, who art in heaven,

hallowed be Thy name.

Thy kingdom come,

Thy will be done

On Earth as it is in heaven.

And forgive us our trespasses as we

forgive those who trespass against us.

I don't want to be here.

Baby, I don't

want to be here. Baby...

We're gonna break into the

cockpit, and we're gonna fly it.

No, it's gonna be okay.

I love you, too.

You guys,

come on, let's go, let's go.

Come on, guys, what are we waiting for?

Let's roll. Come on. Let's go already.

No messing around, boys.

We got no choice,

no choice, no choice.

Oh, Jesus, let's go.

Get yourself going. Come on.

Hey!

Go!

Get the bomb! Get the bomb!

Saeed! Ziad!

Get the bomb! Get the bomb!

Get his thumb off the trigger!

Get his hand, get his hand!

Get the bomb!

I got it! I got it!

It's a fake! It's a fake!

The bomb's a fake!

It's a fake!

Forward!

Look out!

Son of a b*tch!

Come here, you!

God damn it!

Go, go, go!

No!

Get the knife! Get the knife!

Grab his hand!

Get it!

Get the pilot!

No! No! Come on!

Get him up! Get him up! Come

on, come on, you can do it.

Bring it up here!

Move it!

Move it! Come on, move it!

Sh*t.

If we don't get in there,

we'll all die!

Ziad!

Move it!

Bring the pilot up!
