1 This programme contains some scenes

which some viewers may find upsetting

So, you said this is your first time in Mumbai?

Yeah.

- Yeah, our first time. - You're going to love it.

There's so much culture over here.

And, honestly, this room is one of our best.

Oh, amazing!

You're going to absolutely love it. Have a look at this.

- Wow, it's incredible. - Wonderful, right?

- It's amazing. - Yeah, um...

Sorry, let me just, uh...

..let some light in here.

That's better.

We have a beautiful garden outside.

You can take a walk in it later, if you'd like.

- Oh, have you got a tip? - Oh, yes.

So, as I was saying,

you should definitely try the street food in Mumbai.

You'd have to get used to it, of course, but, um...

Sorry, this should have been cleaned.

Here.

Sir, madam, I'm very sorry, but I think you need to leave.

Uh... Er, why?

- What's going on? - Just please try to understand, madam.

Nothing's happening, sir. Please, but I need...

- You OK? - I'm OK, sir... No, no, sir...

- Oh, my God! - What? What is it?

- Please, no, no, no... - Oh! No!

Would all remaining passengers

for East-West Airlines flight number EV609

departure to London Heathrow

please proceed directly to gate 43?

Hi, is this the flight to London?

- Yes. - Ah, thank you.

It's simply not good enough.

So, how did the conference go?

- Just like you dreamed? - Pretty much.

How was the reaction? Any tears?

No-one snored, thank goodness!

And they asked lots of follow-ups.

I even managed the intro in Hindi.

Look at you!

Jet-setting multilingual expert

on immunohistochemical methods to estimate time since death!

You deserve all the free champagne you get!

Nine hours of business-class bliss.

No phone calls, no interruptions.

Can't wait to see you.

How about I pick you up at the airport?

We could go for breakfast at that place by the river.

Wow!

"Wow" good? "Wow" bad?

The answer to breakfast with you will always be yes.

Well, I'm glad to hear that!

Hang on.

We regret to inform you of a further one-hour delay

to our boarding to London Heathrow.

This is due to a small technical issue.

Did you hear that?

Oh, dear.

Later breakfast?

I guess so.

I'll see you on the other side.

You better.

Bye.

Bye.

I presume you're not smiling about the delay.

No. That was my fiance.

I'm still not used to it.

Well, it's a strange word.

I'm also not used to being picked up at the airport.

Ah, it's good to have someone waiting for you.

Yes.

Yes, it is.

Are you heading home?

Me? Yeah. I'm, uh...

Well, I've just been on a bit of a walking tour.

I treated myself.

Sounds amazing.

Well, life's short, isn't it?

No-one in my family tends to live that long,

so I just figured, what the heck.

Words to live by.

Yeah.

You... you're in medicine or something, aren't you?

Sorry, I couldn't help overhearing.

Are you a doctor?

I'm Nikki.

Tony. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, you meet all sorts on a plane, don't you?

It kind of... gets you close to people

you couldn't meet any other place.

Yeah. Democracy in the air.

I was once on the same flight as that Prince.

Well, at least I think it was Prince -

he wore a balaclava the whole way.

BOTH CHUCKLE Yeah.

Are you travelling with anyone?

No. It's just me now.

Um, my, er, wife died 18 months ago.

Cancer.

- Oh. I'm sorry. - Mm.

You'd have liked her. Val was much nicer than me.

She'd have been saying,

"Leave the good doctor alone, Tony,

"you're talking her legs off."

You're not doing that.

You're kind.

Like her.

She cared for everyone.

But, um, it's good to have met you, Doctor.

You too, Tony.

Oh, she'd have loved this, by the way.

See that? Business class. First time.

You're probably used to it.

I wish!

Feel like we've done the Himalayas now.

We should do a sort of hot climate.

Maybe go to the jungle or something...

Ladies and gentlemen,

flight EV609 is now ready for boarding.

Business class, please make

your way through the double doors

with your boarding passes ready.

Looks like we're good to go.

Are you OK?

Oh, me? Yeah! Yeah.

I think I am now.

It's time, isn't it?

Oh, sorry. Excuse me.

We'll brave it together.

- Sorry. - Sorry.

On behalf of the flight crew, we would like to welcome you

on board this East-West Airlines flight number EV609.

This is a polite reminder that smoking is prohibited

for the duration of the flight.

Stow this for me, will you, please?

Yes, of course.

Please sit back, relax and enjoy the flight.

Thanks.

Oh, don't crush my hat, will you?

Don't worry, there's plenty of room.

You don't need to do that, you know.

That's what they're paid for.

This is your captain Jodi Wright speaking.

Our flight time to London tonight is

nine hours and five minutes.

We're expecting a fairly smooth journey.

We ask that you please fasten your seat belts at this time,

that your seats and table trays are in the upright position,

and that you turn off all personal electronic devices,

including laptops and cellphones.

Thank you for choosing East-West Airlines.

Your cabin crew will now demonstrate

the safety instructions.

You know, all of that was just a distraction.

If this plane goes down,

no amount of "brace, brace"

or blow-up belt and a whistle is going to help you.

That's good to know.

Grant Townsend.

Nikki Alexander.

Have you been in Mumbai long?

- Four days. - Mm. Just long enough.

You probably think it's, uh, noisy but charming.

Thanks. I do love being reduced to a tourist stereotype.

I-I was the same, at the start.

I've been in India a year.

The Indian government's all in on biofuels.

Our UK plant has been running for ten years now.

We were one of the first.

Berkshire Biofuels?

Berkshire?

I think I've heard of you.

Well, don't believe it all.

- How are you today, Dr Alexander? - Fine, thanks.

Looking forward to some peace and quiet.

Should I wake you for dinner?

Oh, don't you dare!

..that your seats and trays are in the upright position

and that you turn off all personal electronic devices,

including laptops and cellphones.

Are you going to stare at that blinking dot

for the next nine hours?

Eight and three quarters. I'm not staring.

I barely glanced at it.

Time was you'd go off on a conference

and they'd tag on a week's cruise at the end of it.

Only way anyone could get in touch with you was

via the ship's telegraph.

Oh, for the days of overemployment

and inflated Home Office expenses!

We're planning a wedding. We need to keep in touch.

Mm-hm.

There are a surprising amount of details to iron out.

Nikki has quite a few... opinions.

I did a postmortem on a parrot once in India.

- Of course you did. - Murder?

No, no. Manslaughter, ultimately.

Is there anywhere you don't have a story about, Harriet?

Biggleswade.

I've never been to Biggleswade.

My loss, I hear.

Oh, come on, Mr Lover Lover, go home.

Get some beauty sleep.

What passed for rumpled Irish charm in your 20s

is more like crumpled crisp packet at your age!

- Crisp packet?! - Yeah.

Cask-aged Irish malt, I'd say.

..has turned off the "fasten seat belt" signs.

For your continued safety, East-West Airlines...

Dr Alexander?

Dr Alexander?

Yes?

Sorry, I was completely...

Are you OK?

Me? Yes, of course. Um, it's just...

..we need a doctor,

and I knew you were a doctor, so...

What's happened?

My cabin service manager will brief you.

If you don't mind coming with me?

Of course.

Are... you sure you want to do this?

Are you insured?

Anything goes wrong, it's you that's liable.

Thanks for your concern.

Please.

- Er, hi. - Hi.

Passenger complained of stomach pains.

Now he says he's having difficulty breathing.

Right.

It's a lot to ask, I know...

There really isn't another doctor on the flight?

What's wrong? Well, you are a doctor, right?

Well, yes, it's just that, um... well, I haven't done

much clinical medicine in a long time.

No-one else has come forward.

Maybe you can just take a quick look.

OK.

Hello?

Tony! What's wrong?

What's he eaten? What was in his meal?

The spinach and lentil soup, and the lamb masala.

But... he didn't have much.

He did drink a lot of champagne.

Do you think you can move back to your seat, Tony?

It might be a little more comfortable.

Do you think it's the alcohol?

I'm not sure.

I don't think so.

No, don't dispose of it.

Keep it isolated, put a bag around it.

We don't know what we're dealing with yet.

Uh, Ms Tait, sorry to disturb you.

We're just going to have to ask you to change seat, please.

OK.

Tony? Can you stand up?

Well done.

HE GROANS Can you sit here, Tony?

So they're turning business class into A&E?

I'll be right next to you.

Your pulse is quite fast, Tony.

I need you to talk to me, OK?

Can you point to where the pain is?

Is the pain just in that area or does it go anywhere else?

There!

Is it increasing or decreasing?

I don't know.

Don't worry. We're going to see you through this.

I'll be right back.

You need to stop them eating, just in case.

Business class meals are prepared in a separate facility to Economy.

But if we single out Business...

- There'll be bloodshed. - Yeah.

I'll speak to the pilot.

She'll make an announcement.

What sort of announcement?

I've switched the seat belt signs on as a precaution,

as there are reports of heavy turbulence ahead.

Cabin crew, please collect all dinner trays immediately.

All passengers are to remain in their seats

while the seat belt signs are illuminated.

Sir, we're just going to have to take that...

Sorry?

We're expecting turbulence. You'll get a chance later.

Sorry, sir, we just need to take these cos of turbulence.

- Is everything all right? - Yes, it's just some turbulence.

What are you doing?! I've barely started!

What's going on? Please, stay seated, sir.

Your seat belt snug in case of turbulence.

It's sudden, violent.

Seems gastric, food-related.

Maybe something he had at the airport.

You help Mr Jenkins any way you can, Dr Alexander.

We'll keep an eye on the other passengers.

Specialist forensics only.

You've never had anything like this before, Tony?

No food sensitivities, allergies?

Did you eat or drink anything at the airport

or your hotel, before the flight?

Lunch at the hotel.

What's the name of your hotel?

Western. Uh, West... Westfield?

I can't remember.

That thing you said at the airport,

that your family don't live long.

Can you be more specific?

Is there some sort of genetic illness in your family?

Ma'am, could you please move from your seat?

Tony, we're giving you some oxygen.

Just breathe normally. This should help.

I think we need to look in his hand luggage,

see if there's any medication he's taken

that could have caused this. Is that OK?

Please, do what you have to do.

What I need to do is get him to a hospital.

If his condition deteriorates,

the pilot will get him on the ground.

How much does he need to deteriorate?

Captain Wright's been in touch with the medical support team.

They're already preparing diversion options.

Well, let's not waste any more time. Get him on the ground.

I'm just playing guessing games here.

Is this your daughter, Tony?

Is she waiting for you back in England?

What's her name, Tony?

So far, no other passengers are showing any signs of illness.

Fingers crossed, this is an isolated incident.

I've brought more water.

I think he's stable for now.

If it is food poisoning, then he might be able to sit it out.

You're worried.

We can't rule out other factors -

something in the air-filtration system.

Do you have any sort of sensors for that kind of thing?

Only when more than one passenger becomes overwhelmed

should we consider the presence of something airborne.

What does that look like?

Most airborne pathogens present like altitude sickness -

you start getting drowsy, or elated and...

...Mr Jenkins is neither.

You really don't have another doctor on board?

I'd like to see the captain.

Er, she stays on the flight deck, I'm afraid.

If this is some kind of contaminant,

we can't let her get sick.

And post 9/11,

the door stays locked.

Well, of course, but this isn't a terror attack.

Really? Look, we don't know what this is yet.

A seemingly sick passenger could be a cover for sleepers

looking to take over the plane.

- That's crazy! - Well, it's happened before.

Doctor!

Here. I can take this for you, Tony.

That's it.

We need to keep you hydrated, Tony.

Please, just take a small sip.

Tony... Tony!

Tony! What the hell?!

Help me! Get him over, into the recovery position.

Come on, Ade, you know this stuff! Now!

Help me roll him on to his back.

All right, roll him over.

Put that away!

Here.

Are you OK?

Some guy's just vomited blood everywhere.

Well, can food poisoning do this?

This isn't food poisoning.

Then what?

Maybe a virus.

What? Like Zika, or something like...?

Well, don't we need to mask up?

If the contamination has already happened,

then, unfortunately, PPE won't be much use.

Covid taught us that.

You're doing great, Ade.

This is what you're trained for,

and I can see you're trained well.

We're just going to take this step by step, OK?

- But if it's... - I don't know what this is.

But I know someone in London who will.

Can you get me in contact with him?

We can sat-phone the airline, see if they can set up a relay.

We can use the phone in the galley.

His name's Jack Hodgson. I'll give you his number.

We need all the help we can get.

Scientists have been studying

the effectiveness for years...

Leading theories suggest

that whilst the phenomena have been occurring for hundreds,

maybe thousands of years,

there's no clear indication as to how they started

or what caused them.

Jack Hodgson.

Are you Nikki Alexander's next of kin?

What?

What? Why? What's happened?

Is Nikki all right?

She's on a flight. Is everything OK?

She's fine. I'm calling from the airline.

Dr Alexander is helping with a medical emergency

on the aircraft and she says she could use your help.

Emergency?

What kind of emergency?

We got through to Jack Hodgson but they can't link

ground communications through to the galley.

Can't I just go through to the cockpit,

use the comms from there?

Oh, 'course not. It's locked.

I really need to talk to my colleague.

What do you want me to do? Yell through the door?

Well, it's possible Wi-Fi will kick back in.

Is there really no other way for me to contact London?

You don't have a satellite phone in the galley, or...?

Excuse me. Sorry.

Hi. Sorry, um, you're climbers, right?

Yeah.

You've been in the Himalayas?

Yeah, three months. We just did Nanda Devi.

It means "bliss-giving goddess" in Sanskrit.

- Great. - Is everything all right up there?

We do have an unwell passenger, but we're looking after him.

I was just wondering,

because you've been up in the Himalayas,

do either of you happen to have a satellite phone with you?

Oh, yeah, of course.

Latest spec, fully LEO, high capacity,

low latency, IP55...

Amazing. Do you think I could borrow it, please?

Yeah. Yeah. Um... Where is it?

He's been unwell for around 90 minutes.

He's just thrown up blood.

That doesn't sound like food poisoning.

I agree. They're saying they might need to divert the plane, Jack.

Absolutely, get him to hospital.

What about you, Nikki? How are you feeling?

I'm OK.

Really.

It's not me we need to worry about.

Patient's name is Anthony Jenkins.

Could you access his medical records,

maybe get hold of someone who could give us some background?

His wife has died, but I think he has a young daughter.

Maybe he has some other family that could help.

It's the middle of the night here, but I'll get on it.

We need to find out where he was staying in Mumbai.

He said his hotel was the Western or West End -

something with West in it.

Right, I'll do a search, make some calls.

Call me back on this number. HE SIGHS

Jack!

It's 11 o'clock at night. Its way past my bedtime!

Sorry, Harriet. Nikki was adamant she needed your help.

Oh, wonderful!

I haven't had an all-nighter since Acapulco, 2015!

It's like The Godfathers.

We're going to the mattresses!

Don't worry about Nikki.

She'll be all right, Jack.

You know she won't be thinking about herself.

Huh! She'll be thinking about you.

That's why I'm sure she'll be all right.

Dr Alexander, I've someone who says

she might be able to help.

Um, Beth Tyler, um, senior A&E staff nurse

at St Stephen's, Colchester.

I heard you talking to the climbing guys,

it seemed serious.

Thanks, Beth. Patient's name is Tony.

He's vomiting blood, his heart rate is elevated.

Breathing shallow and irregular.

Um, right.

Uh... Well, blood and raised heart rate

doesn't sound like food poisoning.

I'm down to viral or a poison.

In Mumbai, I read about an outbreak of Nipah virus in Kerala,

but that's 1,000 miles south.

Are you a virologist?

Forensic pathologist.

OK. Well, let's hope it doesn't come to that.

Can I help you?!

I realise you're not supposed to release guests' details,

but this is an emergency.

I'm just trying to find out if Anthony Jenkins checked out

of your ho...

Shit!

What are you doing here this time of night?

Harriet called me.

She seemed quite excited, something about a six-espresso all-nighter.

What's the deal?

There are 75 hotels in Mumbai with West in the name,

and none of them wants to tell me if Tony Jenkins stayed there yesterday.

Is he the sick passenger? You think he might have caught something at his hotel?

All I have is a name and a passport number.

There's no crime, so I can't access the national databases,

and Tony Jenkins is not exactly a rare name.

Yeah. I had a geography teacher called Mr Jenkins,

and he might have been a Tony,

but he would be at least 100 years old by now.

Thanks. That's helpful.

What if this is a virus, Kit...

..and not one of the nice ones?

The whole aircraft filtration system is designed

to keep viruses out.

Fresh air, known as bleed air, is taken directly

into the compressor systems of the engine, here.

And then 250 degrees, hot, compressed air is then fed

- into the air-conditioning packs. - How do you know all this?

Well, it turns out that I have an annoying capacity to remember

useless information which comes back to me at times of acute necessity.

Viruses thrive even at low humidity.

A plane would be a great playground for them.

A 747 has ten HEPA filters. Anything 0.1 micrometres

- or above won't get through. - What size are viruses?

Flu is 0.1, Covid 0.16.

Ebola is anywhere between 0.5 and 3.

We could be looking at 400 passengers

going down with a deadly virus.

396 passengers on that flight. I checked.

Tony Jenkins stayed in the Westshore Hotel.

How do you know that?

They texted me back. There's more here.

A cleaner at the Westshore Hotel was found dead.

The police are treating it as suspicious.

His shirt was soaked with blood.

Have you ever seen anything like this before?

No.

No, not like this.

He's deteriorating.

Tony, can you hear me? It's Beth.

Try to breathe normally.

We're going to help you...

..I promise.

Dr Alexander? I'm sorry, we need you in the galley.

I've spoken to the pilot. Are you sure we need to land?

- I'm sure he's getting worse. - The problem is our flight path.

- We've cleared Pakistani airspace. - So...?

We're heading over Iran.

Can't we divert?

Not a good idea for a UK-registered airline

to suddenly divert into an Iranian airfield.

Unless everyone's burning to death, we don't go into a red area.

If we don't get him proper medical care soon, he's going to die.

Still no idea what's causing this?

We need to run blood and virology tests,

and that's not happening up here.

No. No, it's not.

So, where can we land, then?

Baku in Azerbaijan looks the best bet.

It's 45 minutes at best,

maybe an hour by the time we circle and touch down.

- Is that going to work? - It has to, doesn't it?

Dr Alexander! Nikki!

Tony...

Oh, Tony... Tony...

Ohhh! Dr Alexander!

He's having a seizure. Give him some space.

Tony!

OK. He's gone into cardiac arrest. He's stopped breathing.

Is there a defib machine on board?

Tony? Can you hear me, Tony?

Can you speak to me?

OK, everybody, please clear the area.

Please, mate, come on. Do you know where you are?

Move the passengers away, please. Now!

We have to make some space.

- Clear to the back of the cabin. - Please. OK.

Come on, mate.

Tony! Come on. Come on, Tony.

- They're on. - OK. OK.

Call for help. Do not touch the patient.

- OK. - Analysing heart rhythm.

OK.

Do not touch the patient. Analysing heart rhythm.

Shock advised.

- Clear head, clear waist, clear feet. - Stand clear.

Press the red shock button.

Shocking.

Shock delivered. Begin CPR.

Push hard to centre of the chest.

Come on, Tony. Come on, Tony.

OK. He's breathing.

What's happening? Please?

You're back, Tony. It's OK.

I'm dying. I'm dying...

Let's look at the timeline.

The hotel cleaner in Mumbai is found dead at noon London time,

but the flight doesn't take off for another seven and a half hours.

Tony Jenkins falls sick two hours into the flight.

You think there was direct transmission from the cleaner to Jenkins?

Doesn't suggest a virus.

The incubation period would be at least a couple of days, wouldn't it?

We need the police to escalate this.

I'll get on to the duty inspector at London Command.

I've been trying to find the pathologist

on the Westshore cleaner case.

There were quite a lot of our lot in India, but most of them

have retired... from breathing, sadly.

The crime scene manager from Nikki's Hillingdon case last year,

he said his brother was a police inspector in Mumbai.

Maybe the brother could get us to the pathologist.

- What was that SOCO guy's name? - It's the middle of the night, Jack.

Sammy Chopra.

Sammy...

is a bit of a raver.

It's Friday night, Kit.

I'm betting he's still up.

You think this thing is contagious?

I'm sorry, we don't know what we're dealing with yet.

Listen, the guy is vomiting blood.

We need to be told. The airline has a duty of care.

We're doing everything we can, Mr Townsend.

Now, if you could just return to your seat...

This affects us all.

We have meetings, families. We have lives to get back to.

Mr Townsend, please,

the pilot is in constant contact

with the medical support team in London. We'll make an announcement

when we have more information.

I told you.

I told you not to get involved.

What were your findings, Dr Patel?

Initial observations indicate no signs of blunt trauma,

no broken skin. There were no indications of narcotics

or suspicious substances in the hotel room.

I'll send bloods to Toxicology and Histopathology,

but the way the labs are, it could take several days to get results.

We don't have days. One passenger is very sick,

and we have a plane full of other potential victims.

I've asked for everything from the hotel room to be bagged

and sent to my lab. I'll run the preliminary tests myself

- and keep you posted. - I've got an idea.

I have to speak to Nikki.

Hello.

Nikki, it's me. How's the patient?

He went into cardiac arrest.

They have a defib on board, and he's currently stable, but

I'm not confident that will last.

Well, something's come up, a death in Mumbai

that might connect to the patient. The same hotel.

Now, I think that we're dealing with some kind of pathogen,

maybe picked up in Mumbai and maybe in the same hotel.

OK.

There's a plane full of people here, Harriet.

Yes, I know. That's why I'm saying this.

I think that you should consider doing a living autopsy.

What?

Is the patient able to speak? Even a little?

Erm... Yes.

Maybe.

When Litvinenko was poisoned by the Russians

it became very clear quite soon we wouldn't be able to save him,

so it was agreed that we would carry out a living autopsy,

with his consent, noting all the signs and the symptoms we could,

in order to aid us in the inevitable postmortem.

An attempt to understand what he was dying of

- while he was dying of it? - Nicely put, yes.

We can try.

- How are you, Nikki? - I'm fine.

Really. No symptoms.

Good. Well, take care of yourself,

for Jack as much as for you. Bye.

I'm Dr Nikki Alexander, and this is a record

of the symptoms of Anthony Jenkins.

Mr Jenkins states that he's suffering from acute internal pain.

Can you show me where, please, Tony?

The pain appears to be in the lower and upper abdomen

and the upper chest.

What is she doing?

It's good.

- What's good, Tony? - Good that you record this.

Help others.

This is your captain speaking. Due to a medical emergency

involving one of our passengers, we will be diverting

to Lankaran International Airport in Azerbaijan.

I've had clearance from the Azerbaijani authorities

to make our approach. I'm turning on...

- This is bloody ridiculous! - ..the fasten seat-belt signs,

as we'll be on the ground in approximately 20 minutes.

We're landing, Tony. We're getting you to hospital.

Thank you, Nikki.

They're diverting to an airport in Azerbaijan.

Baku? They've got great hospitals there.

My cousin got her dentals done in Baku.

I'm very happy for her.

It's not Baku, it's Lankaran, near the Iranian border.

I spoke to the duty commander.

She's escalated to the senior national coordinator,

who's talking to the Foreign Office.

- They're worried. - British national possibly poisoned by

an unknown pathogen.

One dead in India, possibly poisoned by the same pathogen.

Feels like an international incident to me.

Tony...

Tony?

Can you keep your eyes open? Please.

Focus on me.

Your daughter.

You want to see your daughter again, don't you?

Yeah.

Here. Focus on her.

What's your daughter's name, Tony?

It's Becky. It's Becky.

You'll see her soon.

Yes.

Where does she live?

They say a parent shouldn't bury a child.

I hate that.

Parents are burying children every day.

Becky died?

Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Good survival rates. Just... just not... not for her.

I'm sorry, Tony.

Your wife and your daughter died from cancer?

Becky first,

then Val a year later.

But I... I... I couldn't.

I couldn't. I wanted to live.

I found something to live for.

What was that?

A cause.

What cause, Tony?

Listen to me.

- Listen. - Uh-huh.

Victor...

Vi...

Victor...

- Vict... - Who's Victor?

Victory.

- What are you saying? - What victory?

Tony, we're landing. Ten minutes.

We're here, Tony. You're going to the hospital.

They're going to help you.

They're going to help you, Tony.

I... I failed.

- Tony... - Tony!

- Tony! - There's no pulse.

Tony!

Quick, Beth.

- No pulse. - The defib, quick.

Call for help.

Do not touch the patient.

Do not touch the patient. Analysing heart rhythm.

Do not touch the patient.

Do not touch the patient. Analysing heart rhythm.

Shock advised.

Clear head, clear waist,

- clear feet. - Stand clear.

Press the red shock button.

Shock delivered.

Begin CPR. Push hard and fast in the centre of the chest.

- Come on, Tony. - Come on, Tony...

- Come on, Tony. - Come on, Tony.

Come on, Tony.

Doctor?

Dr Alexander?

Nikki?

You're the only doctor on board.

Only you have the authority to pronounce death.

OK. OK. OK.

The patient presents no carotid pulse.

I am verifying life extinct.

Subject, Anthony Jenkins.

Time of death,

23:45 GMT,

on Flight EV609.

We need you back in your seat, Nikki. We're landing now.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are now landing

at Lankaran International Airport. Please remain in your seats,

and the captain will be in touch shortly with an update.

What?!

Er, it's protocol, Nikki.

This is just until the authorities here disembark him.

We have to.

I couldn't help.

I'm sorry we put you through this.

He was so excited for the flight.

Not excited.

Euphoric, maybe.

He was doing something he'd never done before.

You did everything you could, Doctor. I saw.

We have to make sure they're very careful with the body.

There has to be a full forensic investigation.

Will that happen here, in Azerbaijan? Not at home?

I should think so.

The coroner in the UK might want a second PM

once the body's been repatriated.

So they'll find out exactly what he died of, what caused it?

- Sometimes we can't be definitive. - But you will with him, right?

I mean, his wife died, and his daughter, too.

He was thinking of them at the end.

Well, that never leaves you. I mean...

They need to find out what killed him. We owe him that.

Dr Alexander? Captain Wright. Thank you for your efforts.

We have to notify the Azerbaijani authorities.

That's what I'm doing. I'm going to liaise with the ground staff.

We need to inform them that this could be a CBRN event.

Chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear material.

The thing is, Doctor, I need your help to deplane the deceased.

What? They'll send a team on board to do that, surely?

No, they won't. They weren't expecting a dead body.

I told them we had an unwell passenger.

They're not coming aboard.

They said airline personnel only to disembark.

And you.

They're not coming for the body?

They're giving us a body bag.

They want us to carry the passenger off the plane.

Jack?

The Foreign Office just told the police -

the patient, Tony, he died on the plane.

Oh, no.

Poor Nikki. Um...

Are they going to stay in Azerbaijan?

Nikki stay with them, help with the PM?

The police don't seem to know much right now.

Maybe I should go out there. Yeah, I should go out there.

Let's see, Jack. I'm in touch with the airline,

the security coordinator's on it. Do you know when they're doing

- the postmortem in India? - In a few hours, I should think.

She's going to be OK, Jack.

Really?

You know that?

We're parked a long way from the terminal.

How long is this circus going to take?

I'm sorry, sir, I don't know.

We just need a little more patience, please.

What's taking so long?

They're being cautious. I would be, in their position.

They're not allowing the body into the terminal.

They're right.

They need to transport him straight to a biosecure morgue.

They wanted to know a cause of death. I said we don't have one.

Which is why they have to do a postmortem as soon as possible.

We need to know what killed Tony Jenkins.

Do they know about the other death in Mumbai?

- What other death? - A hotel cleaner. Same symptoms.

Shit!

Do I need to worry about my other passengers, Dr Alexander?

I don't know.

Yes. I told you, until we know what we're dealing with,

we should be concerned for everyone here.

What's going on?

Hey! Hey!

They're heading to the hold.

- Are we being deplaned? - They're saying there's no crime,

so the body has to continue to the UK.

No crime? But how do they know that?

Because we couldn't confirm otherwise. We have to take him home.

In the hold? They're serious?

They can't put the body back on the plane!

Correct procedure is to disembark

and do health checks on every single passenger.

That is not going to happen. They want us out of here. They say

no crime, so the body goes back on the plane, goes back to the UK.

- Hey! - Nikki!

Hey... Nikki!

You can't do this!

If this is a chemical or biological agent or some kind of virus...

- Nikki! - What?

I know you're used to being in charge of

a situation like this, but my duty is to my passengers,

and I have sole jurisdiction over this aircraft.

We need to take off.

- But the body... - The body comes with us.

Please remain seated with your seat belts fastened.

Hey! I want to speak to the captain.

This is ridiculous. We all need to get back to London.

You need to take care of the live passengers, too, you know.

The captain is liaising with the local authorities.

- I'm sure we will have... - The local authorities?

Look, I have $5 billion worth of business in Azer.

- I'm getting off. - No! Please.

Mr Townsend, our orders are for all passengers to remain on the airplane.

Orders?

Is that right?

You never stop, do you? Eh?

What the hell's going on?!

- Wait. - I'm fine.

Don't touch me! Don't touch me. I'm OK. I'm OK.

Do I need to call the airport police?

No, she just...

Any more trouble, and my cabin crew will be

forced to restrain you. Do I make myself clear?

Do you know how much business I do with this airline, Captain?

Your threats are entirely inappropriate.

Sit down, sir.

Now.

- Hello? - Hey.

- Are you OK? - Jack...

He died, Jack.

I couldn't do anything.

I know. I'm so sorry.

It was just so bizarre. I watched his vitals collapse,

no matter what we did.

I don't understand, Jack. What does that?

He was such a warm, gentle man.

Have the authorities found anything on the body?

They haven't touched it. They put him in the hold.

- What?! On the plane? Your plane? - We're flying back to London.

Can you set Harriet up for the PM? I don't want anyone else on this.

- Please, Jack. - Of course, but...

aren't they worried about contagion?

This is Captain Wright. We only have a small window to get going here.

Please fasten your seat belts for immediate take-off.

All trays and seats in the upright position.

Table up, please.

If you could do up your seat belt, that'd be great.

What are they doing? Why are they putting the body back in the hold?

Great, he's started again.

- Who? - Some guy convinced this is

his own private airline.

I've got to go, Jack.

OK. The app says you should be home in six hours.

In time for breakfast.

I'll be there.

I know you will.

- Thanks, Jack. - OK. Bye.

Are we in any danger from whatever he died of?

- It's a fair question. - And, as I explained,

the captain needs us to take off quickly.

Please, there's no time right now.

Why did you bring the body back on the plane if you don't know?

Huh? Are you crazy? You tell me. You're a doctor.

What the hell is going on? This has been terrible for everyone,

Mr Townsend. If you sit down for take-off, I will talk to you calmly.

- Don't tell me to be calm! - Please, sir.

- Can you just take your seat? - Listen...

Don't you touch me. I'll smash your face in.

The captain warned you. Sit!

- Hey! - Hands.

Hands!

Ow!

Stay put, or I will tie you to the seat. I mean it.

East-West Airlines thanks you for your cooperation.

I'll see the bloody lot of you fired. Especially you.

I'll buy this shitty airline, if I have to.

Sorry, Dr Alexander.

If you don't mind, we need you to fill out a report

for the UK authorities for when we land.

- Of course. - In your own time.

It's called the vanishing point, apparently.

It's where the Earth and the sky meet.

I've always thought that's where we go. You know...

..when the time comes.

I like that, Ade.

It's a nice thought.

Oh, God.

Not yet.

Oh, God...

Everything OK?

Hello? Do you need some assistance?

- Sorry. - Oh...

Yeah, I'm fine, thanks.

Right. OK.

Er, please...
