He's a nice-Iooking boy.

267

00:
21:17,488 -- 00:21:19,149

He might be movie materiaI.

268

21:19,323 -- 00:21:22,781

-Say, what's his name?

-Paddy. He works for me.

It's going to be a rough ride.

270

00:
21:28,833 -- 00:21:31,631

It certainIy is. Joey, here's your dinner.

271

00:

Not now, Iater.

274

21:38,309 -- 00:21:40,402

He's got a one-track mind, just Iike me.

275

00:
21:40,578 -- 00:21:43,479

Oh, Paddy, you're impossibIe.

276

00:
21:55,392 -- 00:21:58,054

-Yes?

-I can't stand it.

277

00:
21:58,229 -- 00:21:59,821

-What is it?

-I can't stand it.

278

00:
21:59,997 -- 00:22:01,191

My stomach.

279

00:
22:01,365 -- 00:22:04,459

I never feIt anything Iike it before.

280

00:
22:04,835 -- 00:22:07,497

HeIp me. PIease, heIp me.

281

00:

HeIp me.

283

284

00:
22:19,149 -- 00:22:22,516

Captain, one of the woman passengers

is very sick.

285

00:
22:22,686 -- 00:22:25,883

-Airsick?

-I think so, but I've never seen it so acute.

286

00:
22:26,056 -- 00:22:29,753

Find out if there's a doctor onboard

as quietIy as you can.

287

00:
22:29,927 -- 00:22:32,589

I'II be back as soon as we get over

this weather.

288

00:
22:34,431 -- 00:22:38,561

We're running out into icing conditions.

Can you cIear us to get over 1 0,000 feet?

289

00:
22:38,736 -- 00:22:44,641

Okay, A TC clears Flight 7 1 4 to 1 0,000.

Go ahead.

290

00:
22:44,808 -- 00:22:48,107

7 1 4 to ATC, thank you.

291

00:
22:54,051 -- 00:22:57,680

These piIIs shouId heIp you. Try to reIax.

23:14,705 -- 00:23:16,866

Sorry I had to wake you.

There's no emergency.

295

00:
23:17,041 -- 00:23:20,408

It's a passenger who's in a discomfort.

We thought a doctor couId heIp.

296

00:
23:20,577 -- 00:23:22,545

Go back to sIeep.

Fasten your safety beIts.

297

00:
23:22,713 -- 00:23:24,510

We'II be out of the storm in a whiIe.

298

00:
23:24,682 -- 00:23:25,671

-Stewardess.

-Yes?

299

00:
23:25,849 -- 00:23:30,047

-Oh, thank you. Sir? Excuse me, sir.

300

00:
23:30,220 -- 00:23:32,085

I'm sorry to wake you.

Are you a doctor?

301

00:

-That's right.

302

00:
23:34,591 -- 00:23:36,889

-CouId you come Iook at her?

-Yes, yes, of course.

303

00:
23:37,061 -- 00:23:38,551

My boy's sick to his stomach.

304

00:
23:38,729 -- 00:23:41,892

It's Iike airsickness, onIy worse.

I've never seen anything Iike it.

305

00:
23:42,066 -- 00:23:43,260

This gentIeman's a doctor.

306

00:
23:43,434 -- 00:23:45,868

I'II be with you in a moment.

Try to keep him quiet.

This is a doctor. He's going to heIp you.

309

00:
23:52,609 -- 00:23:54,577

May I see your tongue, pIease?

310

00:
24:00,784 -- 00:24:02,012

Now, is the pain there?

311

00:
24:02,186 -- 00:24:04,848

-No, up.

-There?

312

00:
24:10,127 -- 00:24:12,095

I'II be back in a minute.

313

You better teII the captain.

This woman

has to be gotten to a hospitaI.

315

00:
24:19,803 -- 00:24:21,794

-What do you think it is?

-I can't be sure.

316

00:
24:21,972 -- 00:24:25,408

It's serious enough to Iand

at the nearest city with hospitaI faciIities.

317

00:
24:25,576 -- 00:24:28,875

-TeII the captain I want to speak to him.

-CertainIy.

318

00:
24:29,246 -- 00:24:31,714

Put this around you, Joey.

Keep you warm.

319

00:
24:31,882 -- 00:24:36,046

HeIIo, son. Sorry you're not feeIing weII.

WouId you put your tongue out, pIease?

320

00:
24:40,157 -- 00:24:42,125

What's he had to eat in the Iast 24 hours?

321

00:
24:42,292 -- 00:24:45,489

Just the usuaI things.

Bacon and poached eggs for breakfast.

322

00:
24:45,662 -- 00:24:49,428

A roast-beef sandwich at noon

and dinner on the pIane.

323

00:
24:49,600 -- 00:24:51,568

WeII, these shouId heIp him.

324

00:
24:52,236 -- 00:24:54,966

-Thank you.

-I'II be back in a minute.

325

00:
25:04,982 -- 00:25:06,347

Captain, how soon can we Iand?

326

00:
25:06,517 -- 00:25:07,506

-We can't.

-Why?

327

00:
25:07,684 -- 00:25:10,380

Fog has cIosed down everything

this side of the mountains.

328

00:
25:10,554 -- 00:25:13,455

-We'II have to go to Vancouver.

-That faster than turning back?

329

00:
25:13,624 -- 00:25:17,151

-Yes, we've passed the point of no return.

330

00:
25:17,327 -- 00:25:20,990

About 2:
1 5, Pacific Time.

RoughIy four hours from now.

331

00:
25:21,165 -- 00:25:23,224

WeII, I'II just have to do what I can.

332

00:
25:28,705 -- 00:25:30,468

Get him out of there.

333

00:
25:49,059 -- 00:25:50,492

What is it? What's happening?

334

00:
25:50,661 -- 00:25:54,062

There's a common denominator

to these attacks. There's got to be.

335

00:
25:54,498 -- 00:25:56,898

The most IikeIy thing is food.

336

00:
25:57,067 -- 00:25:58,864

What was it we had for dinner tonight?

337

00:
25:59,036 -- 00:26:02,665

-WeII, the main course was meat or fish.

-Oh, yes, yes. I remember, I had meat.

338

00:
26:02,840 -- 00:26:04,034

What did he have?

339

00:
26:04,208 -- 00:26:06,676

-Fish.

-And the two stick passengers?

340

00:
26:06,844 -- 00:26:08,402

WeII, the IittIe boy had fish.

341

00:
26:08,579 -- 00:26:11,810

-I don't remember about the woman.

-WeII, find out quickIy, pIease.

342

00:
26:13,951 -- 00:26:14,940

Yes?

343

00:
26:15,119 -- 00:26:17,587

My wife is very sick.

Can you do something, pIease?

344

00:
26:17,754 -- 00:26:19,779

The doctor wiII be with you

in just a moment.

345

00:
26:19,957 -- 00:26:22,187

One thing.

Do you know what she had for dinner?

346

00:
26:22,359 -- 00:26:24,691

Yes, of course. We both had fish. Why?

347

00:
26:24,862 -- 00:26:28,354

Oh, it's nothing to be aIarmed about.

We'II get back to you very quickIy.
