All language subtitles for Tales Of The Unexpected s04e17 hijack

In.

Cabin pressure control.

Normal. Emergency lights.

Armed. Armed. My daughter's having her
second baby next week.

Oh, really? Which one?

Sarah, the oldest.

Altimeter's 10 -10.

Thank you.

I should know. I wrote it. It was
published the year before last.

How did the conventions produce so much
paper?

They must have cut down half a forest
for this one.

These

things

are hopeless.

I've got a friend with two steel hips, a
plate in his head, and never going to

stop yet.

Morning.

May I see you back, sir?

It was used as thoracic touch to open
the reticule.

Well, that's all right, sir, but knives
are not allowed in cabin luggage.

They're not knives. They're surgical
scalpels. I'm sorry, sir, but the

conveyance of any article, which is
like... Look here, do you know who we

We're attending the convention of the
International Association of Surgeons,

these instruments I need for a lecture
demonstration.

I can vouch for that. I'm secretary.

There's no one on this flight who isn't
a member of our association.

OK.

Sorry, sir.

Would you mind opening your bag, sir?

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome on board
your Gaelic Airlines special charter

flight to Edinburgh.

Would you fasten your seatbelts, refrain
from smoking... It's your specialty.

Thank you. Pardon?

Well, everyone on this plane specializes
in something.

Or as you feel so esoteric, I wouldn't
understand it if you told me.

I, um, I do throats.

Oh, you cut through it, see?

I'm abdominal.

Tower, flight 103 is ready for start -up
and ready to copy clearance to

Edinburgh. Flight 103, clear to start.

You're clear to Edinburgh for the Blue
4, Pole Hill Tower.

Copied. Okay, 10 -10.

Cockpit to ground.

Go ahead, cockpit.

Okay, we're ready to start. We'll be
starting 3, 4, 2, and 1.

What hospital are you connected with?

I work in a private clinic.

Private clinic?

Excuse me.

The toilets are in the rear.

Tower, Flight 103 approaching 4 ,000
feet.

Okay, Flight 103, you're clear to London
radar.

Frequency 127 .35.

London radar, Flight 103 to Edinburgh.

Well,

if either of us gets appendicitis on
this ship, we'll be well taken care of.

Copied. Okay. Squawking 4736.

They'd have to operate with all that
plastic knife and form.

What are your boos, French medic?

It's what they used to do, you know, in
Nelson's day.

Get you plastered, then get out the
chopper.

Would you like a drink, madam?

Do you have bourbon? Oh, we do, sir. Ah,
on the rocks, ginger ale.

Thank you, sir. I'd like a scotch
whiskey with no ice and plain water.

I stand rebuked, sir.

Don't ask for ice with your whiskey in
Edinburgh.

You try asking for whiskey with no ice
in the United States.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is Captain
Waterhouse speaking.

I'd like to welcome you aboard this
Gaelic Airlines special charter.

We've just reached our cruising height
of 29 ,000 feet, and the lights you can

see below you on your left are the
signal service.

Weather at Edinburgh is overcast, a bit
of drizzle, I'm afraid, and the ground

temperature is 45 degrees Fahrenheit.

We expect to arrive on schedule, and I'd
like to wish you a very pleasant

flight. Thank you.

Remember Coventry?

Were you flying them? Oh, I hadn't got
my wings at that time.

I didn't get any action till the end of
the war.

I've plenty of it then, though.

Captain, we've got trouble.

Human or mechanical?

Passenger is locked in the crew toilet
with Millie.

It doesn't depart.

It's a hijack.

I'll talk to her through the door.

She says he's got a gun, a shampoo
bottle that he says is full of nitro.

You couldn't put it down to the scanner.

Only a replica.

I don't think Millie feels like testing
that.

She's had nursing training, enough to
recognise a nutter when she sees one.

Passengers, no?

Not yet.

Who's doing the talking?

Millie. You've got her between him and
the door.

What does he want?

He hasn't said yet.

Find out.

And keep that curtain to the cabin
closed.

Sir.

All right, Jim, squawk the hijacker.

London radar, Flight 103.

Flight 103, we have your squawk. Are you
free to talk?

Yes. Expected hijacked. Details to
follow. Your security frequency is 1 -2

-3. It's open now at all times.

Coming up on 1 -2 -8 -3.

Flight 103, security control. I have a
mayday. Possible hijack.

Come on, come on.

Duty officer, security control.

We have your flight 103.

Stay on this frequency.

Impossible. Keep an open mic.

Flight 103, will do.

Yes, still listening, 103. Hold it,
Control.

Hold it.

Yes.

Captain, he wants... Wait a minute, save
time. Control, this is my steward

reporting. Have you checked the
passengers?

They're all there. Did you get that,
Control?

He's an extra.

I got that.

Possible stairway. Possible. Carry on,
steward.

He wants us to divert to Manchester.

Refuel.

He wants two parachutes, one a sporting
model, and one million pounds for the

aircraft and the passengers.

All used, unmarked notes, none smaller
than ten.

If he gets what he wants, the passengers
can disembark.

We're to fly on where he won't specify.

Get that control?

I got it, Flight 103.

Manchester will come in on the same
frequency. Roger. You go and keep the

passengers happy.

Just bear in mind, Control, we have a
very attractive young girl locked in a

lavatory with a lunatic.

Understood.

As a matter of fact, this aircraft comes
pretty cheap at a million.

Especially with 64 of the world's
leading surgeons thrown in.

Flight 103, Manchester.

We have you on radar.

Excuse me. Yes, I'm sorry.

I'm very sorry, gentlemen and ladies,
but our stewardess has been taken ill,

I'm on my own. If you'll bear with me,
thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, Captain

speaking. I'm afraid there has been
overcast and ever a turn into what the

call a Scotch nest and we call a fork.

I'm afraid we have to divert to
Manchester.

I'm very sorry about this. Thank you.
Flight 103, when ready, you're clear to

descend to 6 ,000 feet over Bob VOR to
expect radar vectors ILS.

Runway 24, QNH 1009.

You're number one.

1009. Okay,

Jim, you get the top of descent and
approach checks out of the way.

Have you told your hijacker it's 6 .30 p
.m. and the banks are shut? We have

told him, and he says get one open.

Have you told him a bank doesn't hold a
million in used notes? Yes, he says get

two banks open.

Hold it, Captain. Wait a minute, I think
he's saying something else.

Yeah, what?

Right, okay.

He wants us to stop at the end of the
runway, not approach the terminal

building. That way to keep the engines
running.

One man is to hand over the truth and
the money.

I'm to take it.

Dump it outside the toilet door.

We close this door.

He checks the money.

When he knows it's okay, Millie will say
so.

We can then let the passengers off and
reach you.

I think I've got it all. Oh, full
thanks.

What about Millie?

She stays with you until mission
completed.

Now, pay attention.

Have you tried to get him talking?

Sometimes you can call these people out
of it.

He won't talk. Only via Millie.

Can you tell us more about that bottle
of shampoo?

She says he's got something taped to
him. Could be a detonator in the fuse.

No chance of rushing him in there. What,
through a locked door?

Look, there are only two of us to fly
this plane.

And may I remind you, Control, that if
we come down a peak as we are over a

densely populated area... Appreciate
that.

If you could get him to modify his
terms, you might fix something clever

here. Appreciate that, but this is an
aircraft, not an auction run.

And Millie is in there with him.

Can't check completely.

Right.

Speed's OK.

15 flat.

That's selected.

Approach check completed.

Manchester, we're out of 10 ,000 for 6
,000 feet approaching Barton VOR.

Got that, Flight 103.

Suppose you jam the toilet door...
Sorry, Control, we're busy up here.

OK, understood.

What shall I tell him? Tell him... Tell
him we're waiting for an answer.

103, make a left turn on heading of 2 -0
-0.

Clear down to 2 ,500 feet.

Clear to join the ILS.

Runway 24.

You have 15 miles to run.

Supply your landing checks.

Gear down. Landing checks.

Gear going down.

Oh, Millie.

Nice girl.

Yes. Quite like her, too.

Outer marker. Landing flap.

Flap selected. Start what?

Probably she's got a colonel already.

In the rag tray.

You still there, Control?

Yes, listening and recording.

We look forward to meeting Millie.

Captain, he's getting rough.

He says we're stalling. Millie's trying
to calm him down, but it shows pretty

bad. Did you hear that, Control?

Tell him it may take time, but we'll
have what he wants.

Well, you make sure the shoots and the
money are in order, because we're going

to be in here with him when he checks
it.

So is Millie and the gun and the nitro.

Roger.

On final, Skip.

Flight 103, you're clear to land.

What are they doing?

They're loading freight, Fred.

Perhaps it's our whiskey.

At this point, I'd take it without ice
myself.

I'd take it deep frozen.

All here, Millie.

Drunk?

Well, he's got what he asked for. He'll
be checking it now.

Tower. With you, 103.

Where are those buses for the
passengers?

Well, they're on their way, Captain, and
the reviewers.

Ladies and gentlemen, we're held to
technical difficulties. We're unable to

disembark at the terminal.

But if you'd all move forward now,
coaches are waiting.

Please remember your hand baggage.

Thank you.

All passengers disembark. What now?

Right.

Here's his order, sir.

We're to fly to Lahav, not land, overfly
at what he calls a moderate altitude.

He'll then give further instructions.

Get that control.

We got it.

We suggest you comply.

Will you check the French air traffic,
or shall we?

Keep on this frequency.

Wheelies are confirmed.

Roger. Roger. And all shots.

Merci. Refueling complete, Jim.

Yes, sir. Right, let's get this thing
buttoned up. Okay, Flight 103, you're

cleared to taxi. Let's go.

Stuart.

Sir? You think you could wrestle up some
coffee?

Yes, sir.

Oh, and see if that bastard will let
Millie have a drink. I think she needs

I'll try, sir.

And I was going to retire at six months.

You know, in nearly 40 years of flying,
the worst I've ever had is a bit of

German flak on my backside, a little
slightly misdirected British rifle fire

slightly higher up, and one tire burst
in the mortar.

You'll retire yet, sir?

What will you do?

Grow gladioli.

Enjoy my grandchildren and infuriate my
wife.

Where are we?

Oh, I think if I said I wasn't sure,
you'd put me right to within 100 yards.

was looking forward to that pleasure.
That is Le Havre.

Even through patchy cloud, anybody with
a school atlas could spot that one.

That's probably why he chose it.

One large gin and tonic, one lager, and
we're now over Le Havre.

Await further instructions.

You weren't in the war, of course.

But for the first hour or so, danger can
be quite a novelty.

Even quite entertaining.

But if this went on for a few more hours
or days, like some hijacks, you could

learn some very nasty things about my
character.

And you about mine?

Of course.

Fresh orders from Intermagic. Getting
this confirmed?

Loud and reasonably clear. All right,
carry on, Stephen.

He wants us to make a 90 -degree turn to
port. Head for Antwerp.

Reduce height to 3 ,000 feet and
depressurize.

Fly at minimum speed.

We're in full French air traffic.

Flight 103, this is France Control.

Your given age is 1 -0 -1 -2.

Zero. Oh, and Captain, we've asked the
French Air Force to scramble a couple of

fighters to tail you.

They might see where he jumps.

Oh.

Well, ask them to keep their lights on
and not tell me too close.

Speed's okay, Jim.

Fifteenth lap.

Fifteenth lap?

I've selected.

Oh, and just remind them that we drive
on the left.

Morale sounds pretty good, Captain.

It would be if we weren't thinking of
Millie.

Hey, uh, this must take us an hour.

Sir? If we hedge a bit to the north, we
can keep over water all the way. We can

get into Antwerp without overflying any
land except for the last ten miles. He's

not going to jump into the sea.

Did you get that, Control?

Control?

Yes, yes, I'm hearing you.

Try it.

We'll reroute you.

Flight 103, repeat, what is your
altitude?

Just coming down to 3 ,000 feet.

Pressure ice skipper.

Oh. Control,

would you mind telling those cowboys
that the international language of civil

aviation is English?

That's the French air force.

What, all of it?

Well, tell them to keep off this
frequency.

Roger. Coffee, gentlemen?

Thanks.

Keep your ear to that door.

What's your position now?

I'm just Dr. Yep.

And I'm still over water, but he won't
know that until he comes out. What

happens then is anybody's guess.

Captain, Millie's crying in there.

Well, tell her everything's going to be
all right.

She'll be sure of that.

Control, I think his plan may be to jump
when we're right over the French

-Belgian border. That way nobody will
know which country he's landed in.

We've already alerted Belgian security.

Pass visibility.

Patchy to Poole.

Those fighters are right behind you.

Could they see him when he jumps?

Well, it's difficult to say. If he's
used a parachute before, he could creep

the first thousand feet. They'd never
see him.

Could he jump from your forward
passenger door?

Well, it's very tricky because it's
ahead of the wing, but I suppose it's

about feasible if he knows what he's
doing.

What about the rear door?

If he goes out one of the rear doors,
he'll be into the engines and end up a

strawberry jam. Now, look, I'm five
minutes flying time from the frontier.

If anybody's got any bright ideas down
there, we would appreciate it.

Captain, he's coming out.

We'll keep this door shut.

I couldn't hear everything Millie was
saying. She's a bit hysterical, but the

message is, she gets it first, then the
lot of us, if we try anything funny.

We heard that, Captain.

Right.

We are three minutes from the frontier.

Stay off the air, everybody, while I
handle this. Roger.

I'm listening.

You don't turn over.

lest you scramble all police forces
between Dunkirk and Ostend.

Roger.

You all right, Millie?

Yes. Thank you, sir.

Well... How soon do we open that door?

I go with your guess, sir, gentlemen. A
simple frontier, one side or the other,

could cause maximal confusion.

You take over, Jim.

I think I deserve an Oscar after that
performance.

I think you'll do, love. We're off to
air, Tommy.

It's cold!

Are we still over water?

Just. Get on with it, Tommy.

Where's the money?

In the cabin with the chute.

I think I should get extra.

Well, I'd rent up the whole idea.

I'm stuck in that blizzard in Oslo.

I think I should have extra.

Being locked up in that toilet for hours
all by myself.

And who was it who suggested we should
land one hour's drive from the centre of

the diamond train?

We're overland, Skip.

Right.

Joe? Yes?

We were worrying about you.

Don't worry.

He's gone.

Is everybody all right?

Couldn't be better.

Well done, Flight 103.

We're proud of you.

It's what we paid.

Proceed to Antwerp.

Will do.
