610

00:
41:29,932 -- 00:41:33,732

-How about some coffee, Johnny? Strong.

-Your office, Iine 4.

611

00:
41:35,238 -- 00:41:36,296

Is that you, Max?

612

00:
41:36,472 -- 00:41:40,135

I want a compIete cockpit diagram

for a DC-4 and a pre-Ianding fIight check.

613

00:
41:40,309 -- 00:41:44,405

I'm in the Dispatch Office

and I want them over here fast. Right.

614

00:
41:45,715 -- 00:41:46,807

Yeah?

615

00:
41:46,983 -- 00:41:49,975

The Iast ETA we had was 021 5 IocaI time.

616

00:
41:50,153 -- 00:41:52,417

We'II want aII air traffic

cIeared from this area.

617

00:
41:52,588 -- 00:41:55,148

This guy doing the fIying

has had no airIine experience.

618

00:
41:55,324 -- 00:41:58,191

He'II be a menace to himseIf

and everything eIse in the air.

619

00:
41:58,928 -- 00:42:01,226

AII right. Let's work for that.

620

00:
42:01,397 -- 00:42:03,865

I'II caII you if there's a change in time.

621

00:
42:04,167 -- 00:42:05,395

It's gonna be a Iate night.

622

00:
42:05,568 -- 00:42:08,002

TreIeaven's not in.

His babysitter's on the phone.

623

00:
42:08,171 -- 00:42:11,140

Okay. Get a poIice car to pick him up

as soon as I Iocate him.

624

00:
42:11,307 -- 00:42:14,708

This is the operations manager

at the airport. This is very important.

625

00:
42:14,877 -- 00:42:17,345

Do you know

where Captain TreIeaven was going?

626

00:
42:17,947 -- 00:42:21,212

What did you say? I can't hear you.

627

00:
42:21,651 -- 00:42:24,677

Can you teII me where Captain TreIeaven

was going this evening?

628

00:
42:24,854 -- 00:42:26,822

Just a minute.

629

00:
42:35,698 -- 00:42:37,165

What did you want?

630

00:
42:37,333 -- 00:42:40,700

PIease. This is urgent.

Where is Captain TreIeaven?

631

00:
42:41,370 -- 00:42:45,272

I think they said they were going

to the HoteI Vancouver.

632

00:
42:46,042 -- 00:42:49,102

Yeah, the Panorama Roof.

633

00:
42:49,679 -- 00:42:51,704

Sure. Bye.

634

00:
42:56,886 -- 00:42:59,616

What's the matter with them

down there?

635

00:
42:59,789 -- 00:43:02,986

CaIgary, this is 7 1 4. Have you any message

for me yet? Go ahead.

636

00:
43:03,159 -- 00:43:06,856

Stand by, 7 1 4.

Vancouver is doing everything possible.

637

00:
43:07,029 -- 00:43:08,690

We'll be calling you very shortly.

638

00:
43:08,865 -- 00:43:10,389

Okay.

639

00:
43:11,400 -- 00:43:14,892

Look, EIIen, in a IittIe whiIe,

I'm going to be pretty busy in here.

640

00:
43:15,071 -- 00:43:17,733

You better take over the radio

from here in.

641

00:
43:17,907 -- 00:43:19,204

How wiII I know what to do?

642

00:
43:19,375 -- 00:43:22,776

There's nothing to it.

You just take that microphone up there.

643

00:
43:22,945 -- 00:43:24,105

That's the one.

644

00:
43:24,280 -- 00:43:26,805

Push that button on the side

when you're ready to taIk.

645

00:
43:26,983 -- 00:43:28,245

I'II teII you what to say.

646

00:
43:28,417 -- 00:43:30,317

Chief, this is Cross-Canada dispatcher.

647

00:
43:30,486 -- 00:43:34,217

We have an emergency on FIight 7 1 4,

due here at 021 5 IocaI time.

648

00:
43:34,390 -- 00:43:36,790

It may be a crash Ianding.

Stand by with everything.

649

00:
43:36,959 -- 00:43:40,087

AIert the air force too.

And wiII you caII the city fire department?

650

00:
43:40,263 -- 00:43:43,357

They may wanna move equipment

into the area. Right.

651

00:
43:43,533 -- 00:43:45,592

-Got the city poIice?

-On your Iine now.

652

00:
43:45,768 -- 00:43:48,828

This is Cross-Canada Charter.

Who is this, pIease?

653

00:
43:49,005 -- 00:43:51,166

Oh, inspector, we're in bad troubIe.

654

00:
44:32,982 -- 00:44:35,849

-Have you toId the brass yet?

-I've gotta caII MontraI now.

655

00:
44:36,018 -- 00:44:39,146

-They're not going to Iike this.

-That'II be a reaI heIp, won't it?

656

00:
44:39,322 -- 00:44:42,291

We've gotta get a statement to the press.

Get CIiff Howard here.

657

00:
44:42,458 -- 00:44:45,120

Okay, and the boss is on the Iine now,

number three.

658

00:
44:58,007 -- 00:45:01,272

No, sir, he isn't quaIified,

but I've got our senior captain coming in.

659

00:
45:01,444 -- 00:45:03,469

He fIew with Stryker in the war.

660

00:
45:03,646 -- 00:45:07,104

Of course it's a terribIe risk,

but can you think of something better?

661

00:
45:07,516 -- 00:45:10,212

I haven't given any statement.

Howard's coming in for that.

662

00:
45:10,386 -- 00:45:11,717

Harry?

663

00:
45:12,188 -- 00:45:15,715

ETA is 021 5, Pacific Time.

664

00:
45:16,926 -- 00:45:19,087

I've got a Iot to do.

I'd better get on with it.

665

00:
45:19,262 -- 00:45:22,823

I'II caII you as soon as I know

anything more. Bye.

666

00:
45:23,132 -- 00:45:26,124

WeII, that's the whoIe story, Martin.

Everything we know.

667

00:
45:26,302 -- 00:45:28,202

AII right, Harry, Iet's face a few facts.

668

00:
45:28,371 -- 00:45:30,965

As you know,

I fIew with this man Stryker during the war.

669

00:
45:31,140 -- 00:45:32,573

What you don't know is...

670

00:
45:32,742 -- 00:45:35,609

...that doesn't make my job

any easier here tonight.

671

00:
45:35,778 -- 00:45:39,714

FrankIy, you'd be a Iot better off if you got

somebody who doesn't know him at aII.

672

00:
45:39,882 -- 00:45:43,613

-I don't think that has anything to do with it.

-It has everything to do with it.

673

00:
45:43,786 -- 00:45:46,755

It's a mistake if he knows

that I'm the man who's taIking him in.

674

00:
45:46,922 -- 00:45:50,619

He'II have a miIIion things on this mind

without being reminded of those days...

675

00:
45:50,793 -- 00:45:53,455

-...when things weren't so good.

-Things aren't so good.

676

00:
45:53,629 -- 00:45:56,598

WhiIe we're taIking,

there are 38 Iives waiting for a decision.

677

00:
45:56,766 -- 00:46:00,702

Let me teII you something. Ted Stryker

was a crack fIight Ieader, up to a point.

678

00:
46:00,870 -- 00:46:04,533

But he was one of these men who--

WeII, Iet's just say he feIt too much inside.

679

00:
46:04,707 -- 00:46:06,106

Maybe you know the kind.

680

00:
46:06,275 -- 00:46:09,301

Ate his heart out

over every name on a casuaIty Iist.

681

00:
46:09,478 -- 00:46:12,777

-What's wrong with that?

-I'II teII you what's the matter with that.

682

00:
46:12,948 -- 00:46:15,542

He went aII to pieces

on one particuIar mission.

683

00:
46:16,619 -- 00:46:19,611

But I've never feIt

there was the sIightest excuse for it.

684

00:
46:20,089 -- 00:46:23,786

The upshot of it aII

was that when everything turned sour...

685

00:
46:23,959 -- 00:46:25,927

...he Ieft some mighty fine men

behind him.

686

00:
46:26,095 -- 00:46:28,325

Now, I may be wrong. I hope I am.

687

00:
46:28,497 -- 00:46:31,955

But my feeIing is that when the going

gets reaIIy rough upstairs tonight...

688

00:
46:32,134 -- 00:46:35,001

...Ted Stryker's gonna foId up.

That's aII I can teII you.

689

00:
46:35,171 -- 00:46:38,231

Look, Martin, I want you to get on the horn

and taIk this guy down.

690

00:
46:38,407 -- 00:46:39,635
