Zero Hour! Page #7

We couIdn't Iand because of bad weather.

522

00:
36:47,383 -- 00:36:49,510

-Fog?

-It's cIosed down everything around here.

523

00:
36:49,686 -- 00:36:51,881

Said we'd have to go through

to Vancouver.

524

00:
36:52,055 -- 00:36:54,319

-Across the mountains?

-That's right.

525

00:
36:54,491 -- 00:36:57,426

What about Vancouver?

Is it cIeared, Vancouver?

526

00:
36:57,594 -- 00:37:00,859

I think it wiII be by the time we get there.

It's got to be.

527

00:
37:07,537 -- 00:37:10,631

Ted, what are you doing?

You can't fIy this pIane.

528

00:
37:10,807 -- 00:37:13,071

That's what I've been trying

to teII these peopIe.

529

00:
37:13,243 -- 00:37:14,904

But they seem to have other ideas.

530

00:
37:15,078 -- 00:37:18,673

Mrs. Stryker, I haven't time

to put this gentIy so I'II be very direct.

531

00:
37:18,848 -- 00:37:22,909

Both piIots are sick. Every one of us

on this pIane is in a desperate situation.

532

00:
37:23,720 -- 00:37:25,119

Yes, incIuding your son.

533

00:
37:25,288 -- 00:37:28,280

-Your husband is the onIy hope we've got.

-But he's--

534

00:
37:28,458 -- 00:37:32,121

If we're gonna come through this,

he's gonna need some faith from aII of us...

535

00:
37:32,295 -- 00:37:35,628

...incIuding you.

Do I make myseIf cIear, Mrs. Stryker?

536

00:
37:38,034 -- 00:37:40,332

-I understand.

-I need someone to heIp up here...

537

00:
37:40,503 -- 00:37:42,562

...to work the radio

and a few other things.

538

00:
37:42,739 -- 00:37:44,673

You're the onIy one of the crew Ieft.

539

00:
37:44,841 -- 00:37:47,674

-I'II need her with the passengers.

-Then get someone eIse.

540

00:
37:47,844 -- 00:37:51,439

The fewer peopIe know, the better.

You better stay with your husband.

541

00:
37:51,614 -- 00:37:53,946

-But Joey's so sick.

-No, you can do more here.

542

00:
37:54,117 -- 00:37:56,950

-I'II Iook after your boy.

-He's right, EIIen.

543

00:
37:57,287 -- 00:37:59,517

Get in this seat and strap yourseIf in,

wiII you?

544

00:
37:59,689 -- 00:38:02,214

But, Ted, I don't know

anything about aII this.

545

00:
38:02,392 -- 00:38:04,417

-We're starting even.

-I'm going back now.

546

00:
38:04,594 -- 00:38:06,289

Oh, stewardess...

547

00:
38:06,462 -- 00:38:09,590

...you must've watched the piIots.

Do you know how the radio works?

548

00:
38:09,766 -- 00:38:13,031

They've added a Iot of gizmos

since I did any fIying.

549

00:
38:13,203 -- 00:38:16,229

It's the paneI down here they use,

I know that.

550

00:
38:17,040 -- 00:38:19,167

Where's the vhf?

551

00:
38:19,375 -- 00:38:22,367

They do something

with that thing up there.

552

00:
38:22,745 -- 00:38:25,339

That's the frequency seIector.

Leave that where it is.

553

00:
38:25,515 -- 00:38:27,881

Oh, but they do something

with a IittIe knob.

554

00:
38:28,051 -- 00:38:30,246

Oh, that's it. Transmit.

555

00:
38:30,620 -- 00:38:33,714

-This is FIight 7 1 4, isn't it?

-Yes.

556

00:
38:33,890 -- 00:38:35,983

I better go heIp the doctor.

557

00:
38:36,159 -- 00:38:37,990

-Mr. Stryker?

-Yes?

558

00:
38:38,161 -- 00:38:41,062

-Good Iuck.

-Thanks.

559

00:
38:41,865 -- 00:38:44,993

EIIen, you'd better put

on that other headset.

560

00:
38:45,168 -- 00:38:49,195

I'm not gonna try to kid you, EIIen.

This is gonna be tough.

561

00:
38:49,372 -- 00:38:51,363

So if you wanna go back

with the others....

562

00:
38:53,309 -- 00:38:56,210

-I'II stay.

-AII right.

563

00:
38:56,379 -- 00:38:58,370

Let's see, what do I do now?

564

00:
38:58,548 -- 00:38:59,947

CaII ''mayday,'' I guess.

565

00:
39:00,149 -- 00:39:01,138

What does that mean?

566

00:
39:01,317 -- 00:39:04,445

That's a piIot's caII for heIp

when he's up against it.

567

00:
39:04,621 -- 00:39:07,419

It takes precedence over anything eIse.

568

00:
39:08,157 -- 00:39:09,715

Here goes.

569

00:
39:09,893 -- 00:39:13,329

Mayday. Mayday. Mayday.

570

00:
39:13,496 -- 00:39:18,900

This is Cross-Canada Charter

FIight 7 1 4 in distress.

571

00:
39:19,068 -- 00:39:20,501

Come in, anyone.

572

00:
39:20,670 -- 00:39:24,470

7 1 4, this is CaIgary Radio.

Pass your message.

573

00:
39:24,641 -- 00:39:27,371

CaIgary to aII stations,

7 1 4 caIIed mayday.

574

00:
39:27,543 -- 00:39:30,910

Frequency 1 26.7,

now cIosed to aII other traffic.

575

00:
39:31,080 -- 00:39:33,105

My name is Ted Stryker.

576

00:
39:33,283 -- 00:39:36,013

I'm a passenger on this airpIane.

577

00:
39:36,753 -- 00:39:39,017

Correction, I was a passenger.

578

00:
39:39,489 -- 00:39:40,786

Where are the piIots?

579

00:
39:40,957 -- 00:39:43,255

Both pilots are seriously ill.

580

00:
39:43,426 -- 00:39:44,916

Fading.

581

00:
39:45,361 -- 00:39:49,422

Vancouver, this is CaIgary.

We're getting a mayday from 7 1 4.

582

00:
39:49,599 -- 00:39:52,124

It's coming in now. Right.

583

00:
39:53,102 -- 00:39:55,969

Winnipeg, are you on the Iine?

7 1 4 caIIed mayday.

584

00:
39:56,139 -- 00:39:58,437

No detaiIs yet. Get BaIIard. HoId, pIease.

585

00:
39:58,608 -- 00:40:00,701

7 1 4 caIIed mayday. Stand by.

586

00:
40:04,347 -- 00:40:05,609

7 1 4 caIIed mayday.

587

00:
40:05,782 -- 00:40:07,773

-CIear everything, hoId aII traffic.

-Right.

588

00:
40:07,951 -- 00:40:10,943

And all of my flying has been done

in single-engine fighters.

589

00:
40:11,120 -- 00:40:14,021

And aIso,

I haven't done any fIying for 1 0 years.

590

00:
40:14,190 -- 00:40:16,215

So, what you better do

is get someone...

591

00:
40:16,392 -- 00:40:19,759

...who can give me instructions

in flying this plane and landing it.

592

00:
40:19,996 -- 00:40:23,193

That's the story.

It's your move down there.

593

00:
40:27,203 -- 00:40:29,899

You want to take a bet

that stirred up some excitement?

594

00:
40:30,073 -- 00:40:33,008

Calgary to 7 1 4. Stand by, please.

595

00:
40:33,176 -- 00:40:34,905

Okay.

596

00:
40:35,745 -- 00:40:38,680

WeII, I guess I'd better

get myseIf oriented.

597

00:
40:54,897 -- 00:40:56,728

TeII CaIgary to acknowIedge

and stand by.

598

00:
40:56,899 -- 00:40:59,299

We're getting heIp.

We'II be on the air with it soon.

599

00:
40:59,469 -- 00:41:00,800

Winnipeg on the wire, Harry.

600

00:
41:00,970 -- 00:41:03,734

BaIIard says he knows something

about this man, Stryker.

601

00:
41:03,906 -- 00:41:05,533

Burdick here.

602

00:
41:09,145 -- 00:41:10,840

We'II do everything we can.

603

00:
41:11,014 -- 00:41:13,346

Yes, I understand.

604

00:
41:14,183 -- 00:41:16,447

Get every piece

of emergency equipment aIerted...

605

00:
41:16,619 -- 00:41:18,484

...every miIe from here

to the mountains.

606

00:
41:18,654 -- 00:41:20,781

I want every Iight poured on that fieId.

607

00:
41:20,957 -- 00:41:23,152

You might try praying.

They're gonna need it.

608

00:
41:23,326 -- 00:41:26,318

Get me Captain TreIeaven.

He fIew with Stryker, BaIIard teIIs me.

609

00:
41:26,496 -- 00:41:29,761

Knows him inside out.

We've got to have him. Then get my office.
