Even if we allocated the entire federal budget towards security, I promise you

there is not an easier job in all federal government than riding first

airplanes from... Yeah.

I know. Sorry.

No. No. You didn't trust me. I'm fine.

What? I can't hear you.

I can't hear you.

Hey man, you got a light?

Sir, excuse me.

Excuse me, sir.

You got a light? Yeah.

Where are you off to?

I'm headed to Amsterdam.

Here you go, sir.

Enjoy your flight.

Everyone and their mothers are in the game right now.

Korean phones, Japanese phones, Scandinavian phones.

OS is trying to keep up with the hardware for 15 years.

Right.

That's what I've been saying. No one listens to me.

Dude, you're preaching to the choir. It makes absolutely no sense.

Really? I guess I'm in your way.

New Yorkers, man. I swear to God.

Give me two minutes.

Clear.

Listen to me. Listen to me. I... I cannot stay in London for three days.

Get me on the next flight back.

Please, look.

This is a bad time for me.

Oh, you have to do what you have to do. Well, guess what?

So do I.

Long live to the worst.

In the midst of my reservation, I was supposed to have the window seat, and

put me in an aisle. Maybe you could move some people around, because I would

guarantee the window seat. I'm sorry about that. Let me just see.

At

this

time, we are inviting passengers for children or who require assistance to

at this time.

to the boarding area. We are ready to begin our priority boarding flight 10 to

London. We will begin general boarding in just a few.

Do we have to go on the runway?

Come on, sweetheart.

Is this everything?

Yeah. Have you flown by yourself before?

No.

Just through there.

Nancy, this is Becca.

First time on an airplane.

Wonderful. Who's waiting for you in London?

My dad.

Well, we have a seat by the window all picked out for you.

Look, I know it may seem scary, but flying's really quite fun.

I believe this little guy made a run for it.

What's his name?

Henry. Yeah, he looks like a Henry. That's a good name.

Well...

I think Henry's a little scared.

Maybe you can show him how it's done, huh?

Good girl.

I'm sorry, am I in your way?

Again?

Hey,

I'm on the plane.

Guess what? They effed up my reservation.

We land at 735.

They booked a car.

Oh, hang on, hang on.

Excuse me.

Sir, I'm here in 3B.

I was wondering if maybe you'd switch seats with me so I could have the

Do you care?

Do you speak English?

Okay. Thank you.

Excuse me.

Excuse me, sir.

Hi. I'm right here. I'm in 3B, and I was wondering if maybe you would prefer the

aisle or if you don't care.

if you would switch with me for the window seat. A lot of people sleep

so I was wondering if, um... Sure.

Why not?

Oh, thank you so much. I really appreciate that.

Oh, sorry. Let me get out of your way. Let me help you.

Oh, God.

Your phone.

What? Your phone. Oh, shit.

Hi, hi, hi. I'll call you when we land, okay? All right, bye.

Rough day, huh?

Yeah, you have no idea. Hi, excuse me.

Could I get a gin and tonic when you get a chance? Of course.

I got two.

Nancy, right? Yeah. Gwen, thank God for you.

Girl doesn't show up and leave me to handle two cabins. You're a lifesaver.

pass out, just promise to catch me before I hit the floor. If I do, sir.

Can I get you gentlemen anything before we taxi?

No, thanks, Nan. I'm fine.

What?

Nothing.

Grant, this is AQ10. We're ready to disconnect ground power.

You're a naughty boy.

Naughty.

Thank you.

Didn't you order gin and tonic?

Did I?

Because she brought you water.

It's not my lucky day.

Macmillan, flying with First Officer Carl Rice.

We expect a smooth ride this evening with a flight time of just over six

We should have you in the air momentarily.

Flight attendant, we need you to take off.

What's that for?

Is that for luck?

Something like that. My daughter gave it to me.

Better than gin and tonic, I bet.

It is.

I'm Jen.

Bill.

Fly much?

All the time, actually.

Yeah, I can tell.

It's just a takeoff. Once we're in the air, we're home.

You'll have a seizure?

I'll be fine, I promise you.

You actually fly all the time?

Some things you never get used to.

How old's your daughter?

Now, uh, 17.

What's her name?

Olivia. Oh, that's nice.

I like that name. It's a nice name.

So why'd she give you the ribbon?

Some kids have, uh, blankets, stuffed animals. Olivia had ribbons. This was

hers. She was little.

She'd tie it to the finger or toe before going to bed.

And then in the morning, she'd make me gaff. Oh, she'd put it. That's cute.

It's really cute.

And then she grew up.

I suppose I needed more than she did.

Anyway.

So, what do you do for a living?

Well,

I fly a lot.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah, but I think that I'm trying to get some sleep. Yeah,

it's going to be a long flight.

Do you know it?

Is your idea of a joke?

What are you talking about? If you have a problem with me, say it to my face.

Don't play games, no flight, no secure network. You need to calm down, partner.

I was a cop for 25 years. I knew men like you. Men like me?

Men like me follow goddamn protocol. We're not even supposed to be talking

now. It's a secure network, Jack.

Bill, what the hell are you talking about?

Don't deny you sent these.

Bill, I didn't send these.

See for yourself.

And someone on this flight is threatening to kill a passenger unless

million is transferred in the next 18 minutes.

Who knows about this? You and me.

I say no way. It's bullshit.

Any threat to an aircraft requires immediate landing. Yeah, all right. If

is a threat... Come on, Bill. You want to be the agent that lands an

international flight because a asshole knows your personal problems, sends you

couple of joke texts?

Bill, I gotta ask you.

How many have you had today?

A threat's a threat.

Okay. You really need to think this through, partner. All right?

Listen. How do you kill somebody aboard a crowded plane and get away with it?

Huh?

Pretty hard to pull that off, don't you think?

Bill.

If there is not a situation, you don't create one.

I'm going to see the captain.

You keep your eye on the main cabin. Bill, don't panic the cockpit.

Bill!

I tell you, it's five hours in, and then out of nowhere, he suddenly sits up and

he says...

How do we validate the threat?

We can't.

Captain, TFA says a full cross -check on the passenger manifest could take 25 to

30 minutes.

We can divert the flight, if this is for real.

The nearest airport?

Well, it's 95 minutes back to Halifax, two out to Iceland.

Three to London?

We're midway over the Atlantic.

Be faster, man.

Give me the tape.

It's your call, Bill.

Do we have a situation?

Can we reveal the footage?

It's recorded directly to the back box.

But I can watch all the camera feeds live from the galley.

Yeah.

Get back on the line with TSA. See if they can backtrace this account number.

the meantime, I'll need the passenger manifest.

I'll see if I can find him.

But in ten minutes, I'd like you to switch off the network system.

We don't want him checking to see if a transfer has been made.

Nancy, come with me.

A few cameras in business, six in coach.

We're going to need more eyes.

I'll get another attendant.

How well do you know the crew?

Not very well.

Excuse me. Yeah. Will you come with me, please?

This is a bad idea.

She was sitting beside me when this started. The only two people I trust in

airplane are you and her. Trust me with what? What's going on?

I text.

You circle. Any passenger with a phone or acting like they have a phone? I'm

sure I understand what it is you want me to do. Please, just do as I ask.

It looks like we've hit some unexpected turbulence.

There. 9B.

Seat 9B. David Doolittle.

22c Austin Riley.

There's Nicole.

14c 14C, Charles Wheeler.

13B.

Behemothia.

5B. 5B, Iris Marianne.

You better answer it.

Hello?

Bill.

Bill.

Who is this? This is Philip Meredith. I'm with TSA.

I understand from the captain you have a situation. I need to speak to my

supervisor. Listen, I'm calling from the DHS here in D .C. From here on out, I

am your supervisor.

Agent Marks, I need you. I'm going to run seat numbers by you. I need red

and priors. Very serious request you put in. 22. Agent Marks, I need you to take

me through the events from the beginning. We're looking into tracing

number you gave us. 22 again.

As you know, protocol dictates in these situations. We corroborated everything

with the second officer on board. 22 again.

It's not him.

It's not who.

Look, I'd rather not jump to any conclusions.

Listen, Bill, I don't think you're in a position to sort out who's a suspect or

not at this point.

Mark.

Mark, I need some sort of acknowledgement from you.

Agent Marks.

Marks, you need to answer me.

You son of a bitch.

Hand it over.

Bill,

look at me, okay? I need this money.

I can cut you in. Give me the goddamn phone, Jack. Give me the phone.

Leave it up, Mark.

Stop it. Leave it up.

Fighting!

Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking.

I apologize for the inconvenience, but our network is down for the moment.

If you just bear with us, we'll attempt to restart the internet. Turn the

network back on. What? The network. Turn it on.

We'll keep you posted.

We need the network system back on.

Go ahead, Ned.

number you gave us.

It's in your name.

What?

TSA just confirmed it.

That doesn't make any sense.

You know me. You know I'd never do that. I know, I know.

Look, the 20 minutes are up.

Has anything happened?

No.

It's probably just a hoax.

Some elaborate middle finger to the airline industry.

Excuse me. I know, I know. Are you waiting? No. Go ahead.

Agent... Hi there.

Agent Maranek, who you spoke with, will continue to handle the investigation

from D .C.

David. And they've asked me to take your badge and your gun.

No.

Bill. No. Bill.

and enjoy the flight. Enjoy the flight, yeah.

Was it him, the guy in front of you? No, it was nothing.

I dropped my stupid phone in the sink.

Oh, God.

All the time. Lost, like, five phones in six months, and I learned a little

trick. Here we go.

So, um, should I be worried?

No, not at all.

It was a mistake to involve you. I'm sorry.

So if it's not him, then why do you have his phone?

I have to be careful. Even when there's nothing to be concerned about, it's my

job. As a passenger, don't I have the right to know what's going on?

Listen, Jen, right? Yeah.

It's an innocent prank, some kid with a cell phone. If it was on the ground, I'd

catch him in two seconds flat. But up here, traveling at 500 miles an hour, I

can't track his phone. There's nothing I can do. There's nothing you can do?

Aren't you an air marshal?

Ma 'am, please return to your seat. Did you just call me ma 'am?

Please return to your seat. Seriously? Did you just call me ma 'am? No.

Agent Hammond?

Just a moment.

Sorry,

the indicator must be broken.

I was looking for Agent Hammond.

What's wrong?

Wait, wait.

Calm down, calm down.

Please, I can explain this.

This is a setup.

The captain just told me that the account they want the money wired to is

name. Do you think I would extort $150 million using an account in my own name?

He was transporting cocaine, Nancy.

Whoever we're looking for knew that.

He threatened Hammond, made him paranoid.

I found out Hammond tried to kill me.

The person who's doing this, he wants it to look like this.

Like two federal agents are the ones doing this, not him.

Maybe.

I need you to help me.

Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention, please?

My name is Bill Marks.

I'm the federal air marshal assigned to this flight.

I apologize for the disturbance.

The TSA has recently instituted a policy of random searches aboard international

flights. Unfortunately, this is one of three lucky flights this month.

I'm going to be coming through the cabin.

If I call your name and seat number, please stand up and move into the aisle.

If you're in possession of an illegal substance, item, or weapon, it's best

step forward now. Captain, you might want to hear this.

I need everybody to place both hands on the seat in front of you.

What the hell is he doing?

Right now.

Contact TSA. Tell them we have a possible hijack.

And they won't come on in just a random alert.

Thank you.

Excuse me.

Jennifer Sumner?

Did I have told you about the bomb in my bag?

Do not use that word on the plane, please.

When I move on to the main cabin, you watch business class.

If you see anything suspicious, anything at all, get my attention.

Sweet. I made a good part of it.

Iris and Marianne, could I be? Stand up, please.

Is that how older men pick up younger women?

Fundle for our stock later?

Oh.

Why don't you enter your number?

You're a little young for me.

Just married.

Yesterday. Congratulations.

Thank you.

Sit down.

Why have I happened all the time? You can be Bahima here.

I am.

Feeling okay?

Flying is not my cup of tea.

Tell me about him.

You're a doctor.

How do you know? You're back. Can you fetch this up, please?

Sure. It's right down here.

What kind of doctor?

Molecular neuroscience.

Sounds interesting.

Hey, look, man. Some of us need to get him to leave.

Sir, sit down. Be quiet.

14C. Charles Wheeler.

Stand.

Hey, there was nothing in his bag.

What's the purpose of your trip?

I have a client in Brighton. I'm a bankruptcy attorney.

Oh, yeah? Any good?

Why?

Oh, you need one?

Sit down. Sir, you need to keep your hand on the seat in front of you.

Thank you.

This is crazy.

Are we there? Just relax.

Okay, 22C.

Arthur and Riley, stand.

Hey, look, can we move this along, seriously? I'm not going to tell you

Mr. Riley.

What do you do for a living?

NYPD.

London, your final destination?

My fairy brother's getting married to a guy with a British accent.

Mind if I take a look at your phone?

Come on, man. Are you serious?

This is some big brother type shit right here.

Take your seat.

You, step into the aisle.

Come on. Up.

Up. Right now. Nah, man. I'm good.

I'm not asking.

Shades off.

What is it, like 2 a .m.? Why don't you go back up there so I can go back to...

No, dude.

Come on, man.

Go chill.

I haven't seen your phone. I don't have a phone, man.

This isn't yours?

No, and I ain't never seen that before.

Looks a hell of a lot like the one you were using at the gate.

What happened to Amsterdam?

I'm connecting to London.

Show me your boarding pass.

What's your name?

Tom Bowen. Why?

Take it easy.

Move.

I didn't do anything.

I am right.

What the hell's going on there? The thread is real. I want you to stop doing

whatever you're doing immediately.

I have a suspect in custody.

I need a background check. Seat 24E, Tom Bowen. B -O -W -E -N.

You have unlawfully subdued innocent passengers, Marks. I don't have time for

this. You called your supervisor before the flight and threatened him. What? He

wouldn't book you an overtime flight and you said you'd do what you have to do.

I didn't threaten anyone. Is that right, Marks? I need to run a full check on

Tom Bowen. Seat 24E.

Marks, damn it. Now, you're wasting time. Marks, Agent Marks, you are hereby

relieved of duty. Do you hear me? In three minutes, someone on this plane is

going to die.

Do you hear me?

Bowen is clean, Bill.

You sat down.

I never asked you where you were going.

You volunteered that information.

Why would you lie to a federal agent?

Look, I didn't know you were a federal agent.

Why would you lie to a stranger?

You can answer questions now or in federal custody while you land.

Look, okay, Jesus. He said he'd give me $100 if I asked you where you're flying.

Okay, I don't know why I said answer.

I swear to God, I didn't know you were a federal marshal. Bullshit. I swear to

God. He said he wanted to play a prank on his friend Will, right? Bill.

Bill, whatever, man. I did it for a hundred bucks.

Who was he?

I don't know.

What did he look like?

He was white, brown hair, European accent, like 30, 35 years old. Was he on

plane? I don't know. I didn't see him. I mean, when I went back, he didn't pay.

Do you know him? Is he gone?

I don't know.

I never saw him get on the plane, man. I swear.

Humor me. Look.

God damn it.

Come on. Look.

I don't see him.

Look. Come on, look.

I don't see him.

There. Where? Right there. The glasses.

Move.

You.

You. Look at me.

Look at me.

What's your name?

Michael. Michael Tate. Well?

It's not him.

You're sure?

God damn it, I'm sure.

Look, if I'd seen him get on the plane, I would have gone and asked him for my

money.

What's going on?

Anthony, what's been the class?

Turn around.

Are you serious?

Sit down.

Don't move.

Answer!

Yeah, sure.

What happened?

She started having chest pains and they just collapsed on her, yo.

What the hell was that?

Everything's under control.

Excuse me. Excuse me. Is the captain okay?

Doctor, I didn't do anything. Come with me now.

going to tell us what the hell is going on? I need your help.

Hey, people are scared.

We have a right to know why you searched us.

Why this plane almost went down.

Hey, Marshall, you and I are going to have a conversation.

Don't you walk away from me.

Dr.

Cockpit, now.

You letting that guy in the cockpit?

Here's what's going to happen. You're going to go back to your seat. You're

going to sit down and you're going to shut up.

There was nothing I could do.

Excuse me, miss.

I'm sitting next to that guy, the marshal.

You know what's happening?

I have no idea.

There's no evidence of assault.

Could be poison.

Induced anaphylaxis. What?

Allergic reaction.

Without an autopsy, I... Yeah.

Doctor, would you mind seeing if any of the passengers and coach need medical

assistance?

This stays between us. Please.

Did the captain leave the cockpit since I last spoke with him?

You? No.

Did anyone else enter?

No.

Has he had anything to eat or drink?

I don't think so.

Have you or the captain had any reason to unlock this door?

Of course not. So you and he were both alone here in the flight deck over the

past 20 minutes?

You bastard.

Whoa, don't get emotional. I am getting emotional. Look at you. Right. If you

have a problem with me... I have a problem with my friend dying next to me.

have a problem being accused of not only murder, but also hijacking. I didn't

accuse you of hijacking.

I've heard about you, about your problems with money, with drinking.

TSA. They gave a paranoid alcoholic a gun and a badge, and they put him on my

plane. Brilliant.

Or are you going to hit me?

Don't... Hey, hey, what are you doing?

The door stays locked until the plane lands safely.

Okay?

Marinick. Marks, God damn it. I thought I told you. The captain's dead.

Excuse me?

The cockpit was secured.

Locked from the inside.

Let me guess.

Were you inside, Bill? The co -pilot said the man just collapsed beside him.

could be induced anaphylaxis, I think it's called.

Induced...

What are you talking about? Poisoning. I don't know how.

It was just he and the co -pilot. The co -pilot I trust.

For now. For now? I don't know about this, Bill. Aaronic, you need to

the money.

Where is Agent Hammond? I need to corroborate everything you're telling

Hammond's dead.

What? He had cocaine in his carry -on. Jesus Christ. I confronted him. He put

down. Are you serious?

Aaronic, transfer the money. Buy me time. I'll find him. Transfer the money.

$150 million into your account. Is that something you're usually asking me to

do, Bill? The moment we land, arrest me.

Free the funds. Just transfer it. I can't do that, Bill. The airline

paying the demand will set a dangerous and irreversible precedent. There are

people on this plane. Which makes me wonder why you haven't cut the network.

You have 150 people panicking, contacting their families while we're

handle this situation.

You attribute all this to a passenger, but you can give me no proof he actually

exists. I won't cut the network. At work, I need to communicate with this

Then, Agent Marks, I can't continue talking to you. What does that mean? It

means we will not negotiate with a terrorist.

Who else in the group has access to the cockpit?

Just me.

Would you like to see my phone, Agent Marks?

Is your interview in the morning?

Yeah. You ever make it there? Yeah, we were loud, right? Well, it should be.

Hey. I'm sorry, I'll get up. Oh, no, no, no. Don't worry about it. Zach, this is

Belle. Belle. Zach. We were just talking and Zach was telling me that he's a

programmer for smartphones.

Is that right?

Yeah, I'm interviewing Paige in the morning for a software analytics

which technically isn't programming, but, uh... Look, I'm sorry for being

an asshole to you. Yeah, yeah, but you were a programmer, right?

Because I was telling him that I keep losing my phone and because I keep my

ringer off. Be nice. Be nice. That's because it's a way to find it.

Yeah, but apparently, pretty simple, right?

I didn't... GPS, carrier signal triangulation.

Basically, you just send an intrusion virus attached to a picture text that

switches the phone from silent to ring. Most phones load images automatically,

so if you... What if there's no cell phone coverage?

If it's two phones on a smaller network.

It's the same protocol, even over Wi -Fi.

How fast could you do something like that?

What, like right now? Yes.

There are variables.

I mean, the phone and the network. If the other phone was even turned on or

It's on, but the target number's anonymous.

You have to send it from this phone.

Jesus.

Marshall, I don't know about this. Can you do it?

This dude is talking about killing people.

I mean, can you see us right now?

I'm here.

I guess I can give it a shot, but I can't guarantee. How fast?

30 minutes?

20? We have less than eight minutes.

You can do it. That's why they want to hire you, right?

Eight minutes.

I'm really not at liberty to say.

What are you, like a doctor or something?

What the hell?

Ladies and gentlemen, if I can have your attention.

The business cabin is now closed.

I repeat, the business cabin is now closed to everyone.

Flight attendants, if you could do your best, please, to accommodate all

passengers. Thank you.

Is the captain all right around here?

The situation is quite complicated.

But I can assure you, everything's in hand. Everything is under control.

That's it. Move aside. Wait, wait. Free travel.

Free flights.

Free travel.

The airline company will guarantee one year's international free travel.

If you sit down, remain quiet, and do what I say. Free international travel.

Thank you.

Twelve months.

Free. Guaranteed. One year. Free travel. Thank you.

Why are we turning?

I've been instructed not to communicate with you, Marks. Did they tell you to

cut the network?

Listen to me.

The men who issued those instructions are not on this plane.

This is your plane.

These are your passengers.

Rice.

Kyle. We've been diverted north.

Fifty -five minutes.

Did they tell you to cut the network?

I have orders, Marks.

Give me five minutes.

Five minutes.

Land the plane wherever you want, but do not switch that network off.

Five minutes.

I hope we can press this guy.

I trust him.

Yeah, well, I'd rather not end up in a catastrophe to a hijacker.

Okay, Zach.

It's done.

There it is.

Good man.

Captains don't control the plane. The plane almost goes down. There's a guy

waving his gun around, tying people up. I'd say he pretty much took control.

So you think the thing about free international flights was bullshit?

At what point do we do something?

Gentlemen, would you please return to your feet?

You don't know what's going on either, do you?

So what's the air marshal up to now?

Ladies and gentlemen, I need every passenger to raise their hands above

head and remain silent for the next 60 seconds.

This is not a request.

Up.

Quite attendance, too.

your head. Hands behind your goddamn head.

Remove the phone with one hand.

I've never seen that phone before.

Smith, undo a seatbelt.

Stand up now.

Search me.

My phone is in my bag. To the aisle.

Whatever you think I've done.

Shut up.

Front of the plane. Move.

You're making a mistake.

Turn around.

Take it easy.

Hey, hey, hey.

Listen to me, please.

He's got my phone.

Who are you?

A passenger.

Why did you open the account in my name? I know what you're talking about.

I will break your arm.

You've got the wrong guy.

Why me? Why?

Why me?

Bill.

Okay, let's break this down. First he ties up that guy, then he takes that

guy and brings him out back. When's he gonna pick us off one by one?

The doctor right there. Hey.

You wanna let us all know what's going on?

Dead. The co -pilot is flying behind locked doors.

Are you all right?

Me? Oh, fine. I'm great.

You shouldn't be seeing all this.

All right, Doc.

So we got a dead passenger and a dead pilot.

The plane took a hard turn 50 minutes ago. That doesn't happen mid -flight.

The marshal closed off business class, moved all the passengers to the back.

Does this scenario ring any bells?

You think he's gonna crash the plane?

Excuse me.

I was told I could stay here with my husband.

Of course.

You used the lavatory about an hour ago. Do you remember that?

I don't have Alzheimer's.

Do you know if someone else went in there after you?

Yes.

She was standing there blocking the aisle.

Who? The redhead.

The woman you were sitting next to.

What are you doing in here?

I'm drinking. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have.

I've been wondering.

Why the window seat?

What? Why the window seat? Why did you sit next to me?

What? I found a hole in the first last toilet.

Clear shot to the captain.

The guy who died had one of these embedded in his skin.

Ever seen one before?

No. The toilets were locked ten minutes before the captain died.

Five minutes before that, I saw a woman enter.

She's 70 years old.

She said you went in after her.

And she doesn't have Alzheimer's, if you're wondering.

Are you asking me if I saw someone else go in, or if I killed the captain?

Did you see someone else?

No. Didn't answer the question.

You split seats to be nice to me.

It's made you trustworthy.

You engaged me in conversation. I relaxed you because you were scared. Yet

evaded personal questions. Oh, you mean like where I work? Yeah, that's a great

personal question. You inserted yourself into the investigation.

Tracking the phone, that was your idea.

Are you kidding me? I am the only person on this plane who has stood by you.

You've been lying to me the entire time. You've been lying to me since the

second you boarded this plane. Oh, God, okay, fine, fine.

Seven years ago, my heart failed.

And I was dead for like 43 minutes.

Aortic arch aneurysm. They tried to fix it. But when I woke up, they told me it

was something they couldn't fix. And that one day, it would fail again, and I

would just die.

And that's okay with me.

Because we're all going to die someday, and none of us know when it's going to

be, right?

But when I fly, which is a lot, I like to look out the window and live at the

back of the seat in front of me or a folding tray table. Because one day

be today.

Dick. Wait a second.

Let me pour you a real one.

Thanks.

I'm sorry.

I hate flying.

Really?

I always kind of liked it. You know, six hours in the same spot. Nobody can get

to you.

Nothing to do but to be present, you know.

You have no control.

Control is an illusion.

There is no control over anything.

Well,

we know this is the hijacker's phone.

Can you tell us anything?

It's password protected.

I can't get in.

Try guessing.

I didn't do anything. I swear to God. No, I just was messing around with it. I

didn't do anything.

Open every bag in this cabin.

And the horrific twist is that the hijacker is now, believe me, the one

who was authorized to carry a gun onto the plane. We're looking for a package.

You'll know if you find it.

Every bag. Go. Now.

Maronix. Marks. Order this plane down to 8 ,000 feet. Marks, listen to me. I've

reason to believe there's a bomb in the plane. Marks, listen to me. We need to

drop out of the room now. The bomb at this height would tear this plane apart.

Good question.

You say that you're out of options. You and I both know that's not the case.

Don't repeat that message.

Clearly we got it here at TSA.

We're getting calls from the FBI, the White House, and now the press is

involved. You have our attention.

There's no need to take this any further, Bill. No one else has to die. I

it feels like no one is listening, but I am. We'll work it out together. Aaron,

you're not getting this.

Bill, listen to me.

Let's talk this through. You're talking to me like I'm a terrorist.

You know how this works. If you try to bring that plane and you lower it to

civilian airspace, you will be shot down.

You are a threat to ground, Bill. Just wait for your money and sit tight. A

stark picture of a man in a dangerous psychological state. Bill, stay with me.

need you to cooperate with me.

What now? Officials say he was originally from Northern Ireland.

Became a decorated New York City police officer with a young family.

He became distraught when his eight -year -old daughter, Olivia, passed away

from cancer.

Over the next decade, sources say he became withdrawn, got divorced in 2003,

suspended and later fired from the NYPD.

It was then in the summer of 2003 that he transferred to the Federal Air

Service. And there, his colleagues and neighbors say he's a quiet man who kept

mostly to himself.

This is a costly program as well. There's no question this is what happens

you put an unstable, angry man in a position of power. This guy wasn't even

in the U .S. He could be IRA for all we know. Thank you.

Since 9 -11, we've put 4 ,000 air marshals in the sky. Where do these

come from? I've seen these guys myself.

They walk right past the security line, and they're barely qualified to carry a

badge. Walked right past security. There's controversy around the air

program already. Is this the final blow?

We give these people absolute power in the sky.

We give them guns. We put them on planes.

Wait!

There is a bomb

Please.

Get off of him.

I said get off of him. Get off of him.

Do it now. Get back. Back.

Back away, all of you.

You don't know what you're doing with that gun.

Bob, give me the gun.

Tom, please. Stay where you are. I'm NYPD. We got it covered. Put it down.

Is there a bomb on this plane?

I want you to tell me what the hell is going on.

Relax. Don't tell me to relax.

The passenger on board this flight has threatened to kill someone every 20

minutes unless they're paid $150 million.

And now three people are dead.

The bomb will explode in less than half an hour.

And they want you to believe that I'm responsible.

Everything you've heard about me is true.

I've lost my family, my job.

I'm an alcoholic.

My daughter was diagnosed with acute leukemia at the age of five, and I spent

days at work instead of being at home looking after her because I was afraid

watching her die.

I'm not a good father.

I'm not a good man.

I'm not hijacking this plane.

I'm trying to save it.

And I will save it.

If you work with me.

I ran my PD.

So was I. And you look as if you were better off than I was.

Cut him loose.

Nancy.

We need to start moving all the luggage towards the back and move the women and

children with them up to the front of the plane.

That's your plan?

My job is to prepare for the worst possible outcome.

My job is to prevent it.

Women and children, no exceptions.

Men move up and coach.

What the hell are you thinking?

There's a plan of action that exists called the Least Resistant Bomb Location

Protocol. You place the bomb against the rear door and attack anything and

everything against it. Every bag.

Blanket, every pillow.

Nullify it as best you can.

At this height, a bomb would tear this plane apart.

But we descend to 8 ,000 feet.

Pressure equalizes.

And then we have a chance.

So you're just going to let the bomb go off?

Of course not. I'm going to stop it.

But if I can't, I'd rather be prepared.

Wouldn't you?

The man who brought this bomb on the plane may try something.

Can I try to stop him?

You're damn straight, you can't.

Hey, Riley.

Sorry about the nose.

That was never my best feature.

Can't you get the noir, the money, just try something?

This was never about the money.

Then what's it about?

I'm not sure.

They used an account in my name.

They want an air marshal to take down a plane with 150 people on board.

And they want the whole world to see it.

I was never supposed to find that bomb.

That's not good.

Copy.

Jackrabbit. We will be your escort to the designated landing zone. Do not

deviate from your current course or altitude without authorization.

Do you copy?

Copy.

Kyle.

Kyle. Yes, Mark. We have a new situation.

Yeah, no shit.

I need you to drop the plane to 8 ,000 feet. Get to the lowest pressure

differential you can. 1 psi, 1 .5 at most. Wait, Bill.

That's explosives protocol.

Yes.

We have... Sixteen minutes, give or take.

You know we have company, right?

Two typhoons are flanking me right now. They're watching, and you want me to

leave. We need to drop altitude now.

I have orders, Marks.

Any suspicious activity, and they might... There is a bomb on this plane.

have to descend to 8 ,000 feet.

All right, give me ten minutes.

If we drop now, I lose speed.

Ten minutes at this altitude, maybe I can get us close enough. Close enough to

land in Iceland.

Ten minutes.

Thanks.

An RDX explosive.

Very professional.

Maybe military.

Does that blow?

Are you positive it can't be disarmed?

This is a calibrated pressure trigger. The only way to disarm a bomb is to

remove the trigger.

But remove the trigger, the pressure releases.

The bomb goes off.

Can't we just dump it? Same principle in reverse.

The low pressure outside the plane won't hold the trigger. You try to dump it,

the bomb goes off.

Isn't there like a wire you can cut?

No. So if this guy doesn't get his money, he's going to kill himself and

everyone aboard.

I can't believe this. This is crazy.

Why aren't we looking for this guy?

We're out of time. That's a bullshit answer, Marshall. You know it. Take it

easy. There's 150 passengers and crew. It could be anyone.

Let's find him.

Let's pay him. Let's do something.

It's not about the money.

I mean, if I find him.

I don't think he ever intended to get off this plane.

My God, we're all going to die.

We've got to place the bomb here. In fact, all available luggage over it. And

direct the explosion outward.

At 8 ,000 feet, the pressure will equalize. Then we land.

With a hole in the fuselage? And this has worked before.

It's never been tried before.

That you know of. You're not being helpful, Doctor.

I'm so screwed. It could work. We've got to try. Come on.

Grab every able hand. Let's get this done.

Marshal, if they're setting this thing off, no matter what, what are they

waiting for?

Just grab what you can and go to the back. All right, you guys, form a chain.

Send those bags back as fast as you can.

Kyle,

how close are we?

We need to descend now.

No, give me three minutes.

Three minutes, okay.

Look at your watch.

Three minutes from now, now the second lawn bird, no matter what happens, drop

down 8 ,000 feet.

Okay.

Keep them going.

Your nose.

Yeah, bleeding. Thanks.

You have a displaced fracture.

Look, a broken nose. It's normal. I don't need you to fix it. Look, I'm

set your nose.

Here, hold this.

Just make it quick.

Apply compression.

On three.

One.

Stop!

Sweetheart, you've got to come out.

It's all right, I'll hold your end.

But it's not safe.

What's going on? We need to hurry.

Sorry. I'm sorry, I need your help. She won't come out.

What's wrong?

Are you scared?

I want to see my daddy.

I know you do, sweetheart.

I know you do.

You know, I was a daddy once to a little girl just like you. And when she was

scared, you know what she'd do?

She had a magic ribbon.

Very powerful.

It'll protect you.

Just like your daddy.

You want to see it?

I have it in my pocket. I carry it all the time.

Are you bribing me?

Yes, I am.

This is my friend, Jen.

She's going to look after you.

Jen, this is Becca.

Don't worry.

I'll see your father soon, I promise.

Can I have the window seat?

You mean this old seat?

Yeah.

Marks, we transferred the money.

150 million US into your account. It's too late for the money.

Whatever he's doing... You can stop now, Marks. You have your money. The jets

will escort you in. I have to bring this plane down to 8 ,000 feet. You will not

descend into civilian airspace. You think he wants the money?

You think that will stop him?

If you transferred the money, prove it.

was transferred to account CH -100023000A

-10982.

Confirmation code R -48940.

We'll escort you into a military airfield.

You will not be arrested.

No questions will be asked. There is a bomb on this plane. It is mine. It will

go off. We have to prepare. We're in command of a hijacked vessel.

You will not dive that plane into civilian airspace. I will. Then, Marx,

goddammit, we will shoot you down. Someday, they'll fish this plane's black

out of the Atlantic Ocean, and the world will know these people could have been

saved. The world already knows what's going on on that plane, Bill. You're

hijacking it. That's what you're telling them. No, no, no, no. That's what your

hostages are telling them. That video is playing on every major news network on

repeat, Bill. What video? One of your hostages uploaded a video. You're taking

man. dragging him around at gunpoint, stumbling over terrified passengers.

How do you expect us to believe anything that you're saying when you clearly are

abusing those hostages? We've seen everything we need to know, but we're

to negotiate.

Your phone. Now, the phone. Show me the video that you uploaded.

Come on.

Bill, don't tap me.

Bill?

Roddy, drop.

Roddy, sit down. You gave me an unloaded weapon?

Overhead bin, 4B.

Everybody, down. Stay down.

I need all of you to put your hands on the seat back in front of you. Do it

Move! Don't test me.

Sit back!

Put your hands on it!

Sit!

Sit! Sit!

You were supposed to be in the seat next to mine.

lost enough.

Listen, whatever I've done to you, whatever it is, I'm sorry.

Stay down.

Bill, I'm not mad at you.

You're my hero.

People everywhere are going to remember the name Bill Mark, an alcoholic, self

-destructive, suicidal man with a gun and a federal badge who changed

everything. What do you think, dude? This is going to change.

Two minutes outside the window.

Suit up. Every one of these people boarded this plane believing their

would protect them.

You would protect them.

Everyone, we're going to be okay.

There's an air marshal on board.

Do you have any idea how easy this was?

You're right.

I failed. You've made your point. No, Bill, you failed miserably.

3 ,000 people died that day, including my father.

So I joined up because I wanted to go fight the cowards that did it.

But I just ended up fighting a war that I still don't understand and came home

to a country where nothing had changed.

Until now, security is this country's biggest lie.

In our homes, in our cities, in our planes, no one's safe.

And one day, somebody worse than me is going to expose that lie. And the last

thing our children will see is our failure as it destroys them.

And you, Bill, you are that lie.

You should just have handed out pamphlets. It would have been a lot

You can't change the world with words, Bill, unless you write those words in

evening news with blood. We gotta go.

You're military.

These are the people you fought to protect. I swore to protect my country.

And that's what I'm doing.

You believe that? I do.

I also believe we'll be $150 million rich.

You'll never get that money.

It's in an account in my name. It's in a trust in your name.

I die. The money knows.

200 accounts.

27 countries.

Each of those are 200 other accounts.

When do you think you're going to jump?

35 ,000 feet, you'll be dead in four seconds.

We'll jump when the pilot follows explosive protocol and drops us down to

feet. Anything you think of? We've thought of a thousand times.

They've been instructed to shoot us down if we try to descend.

That's bullshit.

They're not going to kill all these people.

This is a hijacked flight.

We're a classified threat to ground.

If you don't disarm that bomb, everyone on board will die, including you.

Did you think of that?

I'm prepared to die. We're not going to die.

Say again, Jackrabbit. I need to descend. That's a negative, Flight 10.

We're going to stick with the plan.

We descend, we jump. The plane goes down, we have enough money, we can do

whatever we want.

Think about it, Tommy.

We can disappear and never come back.

You hear me? Never be found, ever.

Mission accomplished, right?

Right now we need to get the hell off this plane.

Zack. You and I both know we are never getting off this plane.

Zack, whatever your name is, you don't have to die.

If you want to save these people, save yourself.

Disarm the bomb.

He was a martyr, like you and me, Bill. Real heroes don't need to be remembered

or recognized.

Real heroes do whatever's necessary.

I guess I wouldn't understand.

Fuck it, I guess you wouldn't.

Come on, you wanker!

Eight thousand

feet. Come on, come on!

I need to get this plane on the ground.

Fancy! Move! Move! Everybody down! Heads up!

Hey, Bill!

I'm getting off this plane!

Am I in your way, asshole?

Kyle, you can do this. You can do this. Come on.

Okay.

All passengers and crew accounted for.

And you? Are you all right?

That was a hell of a landing.

Less than one hour ago, British Aqua Atlantic Flight 10 made an emergency

landing after a bomb exploded mid -air.

This following an attempted hijacking. Yet, in an unbelievable twist, the

suspected hijacker, US Air Marshal Bill Marks, turned out to be the hero.

It was Mark who confronted and killed the high horse, saving the lives of the

high horse.

Yeah. It's Maronick.

It's my turn to break protocol, Agent Marks. I'm calling from my personal

and I'll deny this conversation ever took place.

Listen, Bill.

What you did on that plane, what you were up against, I want you to know I

wrong about you.

And you'll have my full support.

Appreciate that.

And Bill, we're going to need that money back.

What money?

Take care, Agent Marks.

Son of a gun. Next time, give me a loaded weapon.

Next time, don't get shot.

See you.

I'm going to give you back your ribbon.

I don't need it anymore.

Not a girl.

It's your dad.

I was looking for you. Hey.

Anywhere we are?

Iceland. Oh, well, never been to Iceland.

I mean, I've seen it a few times from plane windows, but... Thank you.

For what?

You stood by me, even after all that happened.

Why? You're a good man.

I bet your daughter would have been proud of you.

Thanks.

Depends.
