Zero Hour! Page #13

Synopsis: A routine flight turns into a major emergency as passengers and crew succumb to food poisoning - is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane? If that sounds vaguely familiar, it's because 'Airplane' was a send-up of this forerunner of the 1970s disaster movie..

1041

01:
09:45,593 -- 01:09:48,926

Remind me never to traveI this airIine again.

They have terribIe coffee.

1042

01:
09:49,097 -- 01:09:51,998

I'II get you the best coffee in Vancouver

as soon as we Iand.

1043

01:
09:52,166 -- 01:09:55,329

-I'm sorry about what I said to you before.

-Forget it.

1044

01:
09:55,503 -- 01:09:57,767

HonestIy, I couIdn't have done it

without you.

1045

01:
09:57,939 -- 01:10:00,840

I'd Iike it to go on that way

for at Ieast the next 1 00 years.

1046

01:
10:01,008 -- 01:10:02,236

Oh, me too.

1047

01:
10:06,514 -- 01:10:10,814

You are now nine minutes from the airport.

Are you ready to begin your finaI descent?

1048

01:
10:10,985 -- 01:10:13,920

TeII him we're on top of the overcast.

Nothing but fog beIow.

1049

01:
10:14,088 -- 01:10:16,113

-Not a break in it anywhere.

-Vancouver...

1050

01:
10:16,324 -- 01:10:18,224

...we're on top of the overcast.

1051

01:
10:18,392 -- 01:10:20,883

There's not a break in at anywhere.

1052

01:
10:21,629 -- 01:10:23,893

This wouId be a tough Ianding

for anybody to make.

1053

01:
10:24,065 -- 01:10:27,262

Maybe if we hoId him off for a bit,

we'II get a break in the weather.

1054

01:
10:27,668 -- 01:10:30,796

AII right, you'd better stay up there

for a bit. Keep circIing.

1055

01:
10:30,972 -- 01:10:33,634

We got everything out of the air.

You won't have troubIe.

1056

01:
10:33,808 -- 01:10:35,901

As soon as the fog Iifts,

we'II bring you in.

1057

01:
10:36,944 -- 01:10:38,639

I'II take it, EIIen.

1058

01:
10:38,813 -- 01:10:41,680

No dice, Vancouver.

I'm coming straight in now.

1059

01:
10:41,849 -- 01:10:45,580

Dr. Baird says the sick peopIe are in

criticaI condition and every minute counts.

1060

01:
10:45,753 -- 01:10:46,913

Don't be a fooI, Stryker.

1061

01:
10:47,088 -- 01:10:50,057

You know what a Ianding Iike this means,

you more than anybody.

1062

01:
10:51,893 -- 01:10:54,293

That's right, but we've got to come in.

1063

01:
10:54,462 -- 01:10:57,295

But he can't.

TeII him he's gotta stay up there.

1064

01:
10:57,465 -- 01:11:00,457

Let's face it, Harry.

There's nothing we can do about it.

1065

01:
11:00,735 -- 01:11:03,602

AII right, IeveI off at 2000 feet

and wait for instructions.

1066

01:
11:03,771 -- 01:11:06,433

I'm going to the tower.

You won't hear from me for a bit.

1067

01:
11:06,607 -- 01:11:09,599

We'II decide on the runway to use

so you can Iand into the wind.

1068

01:
11:09,777 -- 01:11:12,575

He can't bring it down in this soup.

It's 1 00-to-1 anyway.

1069

01:
11:12,747 -- 01:11:15,807

I know, I know.

But it's his ship now, his command.

1070

01:
11:15,983 -- 01:11:19,146

Stand by, Stryker.

I'm going to the tower and good Iuck.

1071

01:
11:20,421 -- 01:11:22,321

We're on our way up now.

1072

01:
11:38,172 -- 01:11:40,197

-Decide on the runway yet?

-Runway 9.

1073

01:
11:40,374 -- 01:11:42,842

It's the Iongest and pretty weII

into the wind.

1074

01:
11:43,010 -- 01:11:44,477

-Radar.

-Yes, captain?

1075

01:
11:44,645 -- 01:11:46,135

This is the way we'II handIe it.

1076

01:
11:46,314 -- 01:11:49,943

Now, he's here. I'II turn him so he

begins to make a wide right-hand circIe...

1077

01:
11:50,117 -- 01:11:52,677

...at the same time,

bring him down to 1 000 feet.

1078

01:
11:52,854 -- 01:11:55,948

I'II start the pre-Ianding check

then make him turn onto finaI.

1079

01:
11:56,123 -- 01:11:57,522

-Is that cIear?

-Yep.

1080

01:
11:57,692 -- 01:12:00,252

-Is the phone hooked up to Radar?

-Right there, sir.

1081

01:
12:00,428 -- 01:12:01,656

How do I taIk to the fieId?

1082

01:
12:01,829 -- 01:12:04,423

Just fIip that speaker on, sir.

1083

01:
12:05,933 -- 01:12:08,060

Tower to aII emergency vehicIes.

1084

01:
12:08,236 -- 01:12:09,703

Runway is nine.

1085

01:
12:09,871 -- 01:12:12,499

Airport tenders,

take positions number one and two.

1086

01:
12:12,707 -- 01:12:14,675

CiviIian equipment, number three.

1087

01:
12:14,842 -- 01:12:17,276

Air force, positions number four and five.

1088

01:
12:17,445 -- 01:12:19,436

All ambulances to position three.

1089

01:
12:19,614 -- 01:12:21,809

7 1 4, this is TreIeaven

in Vancouver Tower.

1090

01:
12:21,983 -- 01:12:24,144

Are you ready to Iine up for the Ianding?

1091

01:
12:24,318 -- 01:12:27,253

-Okay, Vancouver. We're ready.

-Harry.

1092

01:
12:27,922 -- 01:12:29,219

Got a cigarette, NeIs?

1093

01:
12:29,390 -- 01:12:33,156

Joan,

I thought you'd Iike to know the Iatest.

1094

01:
12:33,327 -- 01:12:36,694

Now, your husband and the others

are aIive but unconscious.

1095

01:
12:36,864 -- 01:12:40,766

There's a good chance we can save them

if Stryker can get this pIane down in time.

1096

01:
12:40,935 -- 01:12:43,460

That isn't reaIIy much of a chance, is it?

1097

01:
12:43,638 -- 01:12:45,003

It's the onIy one we've got.

1098

01:
12:45,206 -- 01:12:46,537

Eight miIes.

1099

01:
12:46,707 -- 01:12:49,369

Turn right to heading 0-8-0.

1100

01:
12:49,543 -- 01:12:52,535

After this message,

do not acknowIedge further transmissions...

1101

01:
12:52,713 -- 01:12:56,376

...unIess you wanna ask a question.

You are now eight miIes from the airport.

1102

01:
12:56,550 -- 01:12:59,280

Turn right to a heading of 0-8-0,

throttIe back sIightIy...

1103

01:
12:59,453 -- 01:13:01,648

...and begin to Iose aItitude to 1 000 feet.

1104

01:
13:02,423 -- 01:13:04,288

I just want to teII you both, good Iuck.

1105

01:
13:04,458 -- 01:13:06,289

-I'II keep your son with me.

-Thank you.

1106

01:
13:06,460 -- 01:13:08,155

-Thanks, doctor.

-Right.

1107

01:
13:08,362 -- 01:13:10,489

HoId your airspeed steady at 1 20.

1108

01:
13:10,665 -- 01:13:14,066

TeII him we're at 1 000 feet

and IeveIing off.

1109

01:
13:14,235 -- 01:13:17,170

We're now at 1 000 feet

and leveling off.

1110

01:
13:17,338 -- 01:13:20,796

Now set your mixture controIs in autorich.

That is, in the top position.

1111

01:
13:21,008 -- 01:13:23,875

Those four Ievers, EIIen.

PuII them aII the way up.

1112

01:
13:27,682 -- 01:13:30,014

AII right, Stryker,

put down 20 degrees of fIap.

1113

01:
13:30,184 -- 01:13:32,379

Twenty degrees of fIap, EIIen.

1114

01:
13:36,057 -- 01:13:38,389

When your flaps are down,

re-trim for level flight.

1115

01:
13:46,600 -- 01:13:49,967

He's aII over the pIace.

Nine hundred feet up to 1 300 feet.

1116

01:
13:50,137 -- 01:13:52,264

Watch your aItitude, Stryker.

It's too erratic.

1117

01:
13:52,440 -- 01:13:54,305

Try to hoId steady at 1 000 feet.

1118

01:
13:58,112 -- 01:13:59,579

Any break in the fog up there?

1119

01:
13:59,747 -- 01:14:01,874

No, nothing yet. I can't see a thing.

1120

01:
14:06,320 -- 01:14:07,947

Keep checking those instruments.

1121

01:
14:08,122 -- 01:14:10,613

You'll have to trust them all the way.

1122

01:
14:23,971 -- 01:14:27,202

Close up. Stay in formation.

Target's just ahead.

1123

01:
14:27,375 -- 01:14:31,436

Target should be clear if you go in
