No sir, please, stay in your seat.
Just keep your seat belt fastened.

Okay everyone, remain in your seats.
Keep your seat belts fastened.

It's just a little turbulence.
There's nothing to worry about.

- Are you all right?
- Yeah, I'm fine. Thank you.

Sir, just stay seated
and keep your seat belt fastened.

- How long before we land?
- About an hour and a half.

How's everybody
holding up back there?

They're scared.
Thank God the plane isn't that full.

We should get clear
of this soon.

But I'll take it down a little,
see if I can't improve the situation.

You want to take it down?
We're below 25,000' now.

Better that than letting it
tear the plane apart.

What's that?

We have vibration
on engine number two.

N1 is falling.
N3 is falling.

We've lost number two.

Confirmed... number two lost.

It's gone.

How can that be?

Go back and have a look.

See if you can get
a visual confirmation.

What about number one?

All gauges read normal.

All right,
keep your fingers crossed.

The wing's on fire!
The wing's on fire!

Okay everyone,
stay in your seats.

The captain has dealt with this
kind of situation before,

so please,
everybody just remain calm.

The engine is on fire.

What do we do?

Captain.

If we shut down the engine,

we'll cut off the fuel feed
to the fire.

If we shut down the engine, what happens
if we can't get it back up again?

We're out of options.

I'm shutting down number one.

Shutting down number one.

The fire is out.
The fire is out.

It's not coming back up.

Mayday Mayday.
Central Tower, this is 865

declaring emergency.
We've lost both engines.

I repeat, we've lost
both engines.

Copy that, 865.
What is your position?

Central Tower, this is 865.

We are approximately
1.5 miles south of VOR.

We are gonna attempt a landing.

It's our only choice.

I see a stretch of road.

I'll try and set her down.

This is a OZN Special Report.

Live from Los Angeles, Nancy Carter.

In Royal Canyon, NTSB investigators

continue to search for answers

as to what caused flight 865

to crash land here last week.

The flight, which was en route

from Tampa to San Francisco,

reported engine troubles

just moments before the crash.

One critical piece of the puzzle...

why the pilot disabled

one of the engines.

We asked passengers here at LAX

if they were nervous about flying

in the wake of such a disaster.

I'd like to think that my pilot
wouldn't make a mistake like that.

I definitely will be thinking
about it while I'm up there, sure.

I gotta travel for my work,
you know?

We don't really have a choice.

I say, you know,
if they can make it safer,

you know, go for it.
But life goes on.

You hear stories about these pilots
falling asleep

or using their laptops on the plane.

I just hope somebody
can do something

to make it safe up there again.

While refusing to officially
comment on the record,

sources inside the NTSB

indicate that the incident
was most likely caused

by pilot error.

Only 40 people survived.

They were the lucky ones.

But what a tremendous tragedy.

According to Ground Control,

the crash might have been avoided.

But it appears the pilot panicked.

And in his panic,

he made a grave grave error.

He made a human error.

Ladies and gentlemen,
my father Richard Devain.

How can we better protect

to insure a safer future
for air travel,

travel less prone to mistakes,

human error,

misread gauges,

technical problems
that should have

or could have been detected
early enough

to avert a terrible tragedy
such as this?

As you know, Devair Industries
has always been

a frontrunner
in aviation technology.

Ladies and gentlemen,

treasured investors,

esteemed colleagues,
members of the press,

it is my privilege
to introduce to you

the future of air travel.

I give you

the OD70...

the first fully automated
piloting system.

Now to further explain
this amazing new computer,

it is my pleasure
to introduce to you

Samantha Woodard,

our Vice President
of Research and Development,

and her husband Tom.

He is the chief programmer
on this project

and he's joining us
from New York.

Thank you, Charles, Mr. Devain.

The OD70 is at heart

a very sophisticated
UAV control system.

UAV?

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle.

It is designed to operate
and control a plane

without the benefit
of the human pilot.

It's very similar to the military's
drone plane technology

with some modifications
of our own.

Sam sells herself short.

Tom and Sam are

a husband-and-wife team,
the best we have.

And they have
almost single-handedly

designed the OD70
from the ground up...

no small feat
by anybody's standards.

Thank you, sir.

The OD70 can fly a plane
into the eye of a hurricane,

execute search-and-rescue missions,

conduct damage assessment,

all without endangering
the life of a human pilot.

It can make snap decisions in the event
that the plane is jeopardized;

it can reroute itself
away from harmful weather;

and it can land even the largest
of commercial airliners...

all without the aid
of a human pilot.

So tragic incidents like
what occurred at Royal Canyon

will be a thing of the past.

So now without further ado...
excuse me...

I invite you all
to follow me out onto the runway

for the second part
of our presentation,

aboard the first historic

transcontinental flight

of the OD70.

Thank you.

Wait, what do you mean
"aboard"?

Not now.

What does he mean?

I'm sorry, Tom.

Okay.

Hello.

He's putting those people
on the plane?

Sam, did you know about this?

Tom, listen to me.

Sam, we agreed the test was
gonna be without passengers.

Right, I know, but...

The OD70 was specifically designed
to be used on an unoccupied plane,

not a commercial airliner
full of people.

That was the deal.

Charles felt
it was very important for us

to take advantage
of this opportunity.

Without asking
for my professional opinion?

Why did you even put me
on the phone in there?

Look Tom, it's too late, okay?

He's already made
all of the arrangements.

So once again
this is all about Charles?

We have had this conversation
already, okay?

There is nothing going on
between Charles and I.

No, I tried to have
this conversation.

We can finish this when I get back
to New York tonight, okay?

You're not getting
on the plane too.

I'm Vice President
of Research and Development.

Of course I'm getting on the plane.

Besides, there's gonna be
two pilots onboard

- in case anything goes wrong.
- Fine.

- See you tonight.
- Goodbye, Tom.

Now, Charles, sincerely
do you think this will be possible?

Malcolm, trust me,
this is the real deal.

- Really?
- Absolutely.

Would I lie to you?

- Excuse me.
- Oh sure, please.

Trouble at home?

He thinks
we're making a mistake

putting the passengers
on the flight.

I'm just taking
a couple of investors.

The crash gives us
a tremendous opportunity.

You have to think about the publicity.
You have to think about the demand.

I know. He's a programmer.
He doesn't think like that.

It's about the future
and who's gonna control it.

And that's gonna be me.

Malcolm said he wants to invest
another quarter billion.

Wow.

I just hope
you know what you're doing.

Oh, I know what I'm doing.
I'm in charge.

So the OD70 is your baby?

That's right, Miss...

Robertson.

Miss Robertson, yeah.

My father thought I was
the right man for the program.

And you really plan
to let that little box

fly an airliner
from here to New York?

You sound skeptical.

Given the success rate
of some of your recent ventures,

is there any reason
why I shouldn't be?

Miss Robertson,

I am trying to make
the world of travel a better place,

and all you can do
is throw stones.

That's 'cause you live in a glass house.
You're always copping out.

With all due respect,
Miss Robertson,

you've never really given me
a fair shake.

And if you'd like to continue
this conversation over drinks tonight,

I know an intimate little place
overlooking Central Park.

You'd like that?

Now who's copping out?

Okay, Charles, you're on.

Um, call me Chuck.

No thanks.

Come here.

Take a note...

I don't like her.

Are we going?

Something's come up.
I'm gonna have to cancel.

- Dad!
- I'm sorry. I'll make it up to you.

Hold on a sec.

Nerd central.

It's Tom.

Hey, Tom.
Did I hear correctly?

They're using passengers
with the OD70 test?

- They're boarding as we speak.
- Are they out of their mind?

I thought we discussed
it was for unmanned use only.

Charles wanted to take advantage
of the situation.

What about Sam?

I can't believe she would
sign off on something like this.

Whatever it takes
to make Charles happy.

Please tell me we're not gonna sit back
and let them move forward with this.

There must be
something we can do.

I'd like you to rerun
a remote diagnostic on the system

just to be safe.

Sure. How long have I got?

10 minutes.

10? Are you serious?

Do you have any idea
how many checks I have to do

before that thing gets into the air?

Let me know
if you find anything... anything.

Fine.

- Marilyn.
- What's up?

We've got work to do.

Dad, but I thought we were gonna
spend the day together.

I know. I'm sorry.

It's just I've got some work to do
before your mother gets home.

I already called your Aunt Pat.

It's gonna be late
before I get home.

Are you and Mom
gonna have a talk again?

Yeah, we're gonna have a talk.

But no yelling.

No yelling.

Promise?

I promise.

Come on.

What you got there?

"Space Jaguar."
He's some kind of hero?

Well, not a real hero like you.

He's just a comic book.

Thanks, son,

but I'm not a real hero.

There's the little guy.

Hey, thanks for coming.
Something came up

and I really need
to be here right now.

Don't mention it.

I'm sure you and Sam are gonna need
some alone time together.

And I get to have Tony
all to myself.

Are you ready?

I guess. Dad,

you can borrow this.

What is it?

It's Jaguar's secret ring.
You can wear it till tomorrow.

It keeps him safe.

Thanks.
I'll take care of it.

But remember what I said.

I will.

I'll see you tomorrow.
Bye.

You got it?

Put your seat belt on.

Bye.

Do you really believe what they say...
that this thing can fly the plane?

If they keep this up,
what are they gonna need people for?

To turn on the machines.

Yeah, right.

Okay, we're up...
system check.

Mounting logic board?

Check.

Aircraft network interface?

Check.

Internal system bios?

Check.

Failsafe diagnostic module?

Failsafe diagnostic module?

Ben.

It's not responding.

Come on.

There. Check.

Great. Break a leg.

And I want the shrimp.
And I want the caviar.

- Do you understand? Okay.
- Good morning, Mr. Devain.

Oh please, call me Chuck.

Could you go make sure
the service is set up properly?

Swag?

Huh-uh.
This is for my guests only.

Go do what I told you
to do, please.

Yes sir.

- You're new here.
- I just came on last month.

Well, I can certainly see
why we hired you.

Thank you, sir...

uh, Chuck.

Yeah yeah.

Well listen, after we take off,
if there's a bag left over,

feel free to help yourself...
my little gift to you.

Thank you.

Oh boy.

To...

me.

If there's anything I can do,
let me know.

Yeah, you can make sure
that no glass ever goes empty.

And don't be hitting
the stuff yourself.

This champagne cost
$300 a bottle.

Canapé?

Uh, make me a plate, will you?

I gotta go check my hair.

You poor thing.

You heard what the man said.

- Hi.
- Good morning.

Swag?

No, thank you.

I thought you'd left early
to spend the day with your son.

Mr. Devain...

Look, Tom, I know that you had
certain expectations

about what the OD70
would be used for.

Expectations?
I thought we were perfectly clear.

However, I see no reason

why it can't be used
for other applications...

civilian applications.

Yes, but to put passengers
on the plane

on our maiden voyage...
sir, your son is making a mistake.

Sit down.

Look, Tom, we need

to move this thing
into production.

And there is no faster,
better way of doing that

than a good, solid demonstration
of what the OD70 can do.

It's business.

Now General Caldwell himself

is on his way down here
from Andrews

to personally observe the test.

So why are you even talking
to me about this?

Because I want you on my team

and not against me.

Also I want you to know

that your contributions
to this project

will not go unrewarded.

I know

that things have been strained
in your household lately.

Is that what Sam said?

Being married,
working so closely together

is enough to put strain
on any relationship.

You earned it.

When Sam gets here

I want you to take her
straight out of town,

rekindle the old flame.

And thank you.

I'm expecting
big things from this.

Welcome to Devair flight 405,
gentlemen.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

This OD70 better be
everything Charles says it is.

I certainly hope so.

- Enjoy your flight.
- Thank you.

Do you know about this weather
they're getting over the Midwest?

Not to worry. Our flight plan
is well to the south of it.

- Good morning, Betty.
- Good morning, gentlemen. Swag?

Oh no, thank you.
I'm trying to quit.

But I know a pretty girl
who might like mine.

Trying to win me over
with gifts?

Would that work?

Maybe.

Captain.

Hi, I'm Samantha Woodard,

VP of Research and Development
for Devair Aviation.

Nice to meet you,
Ms. Woodard.

I was wondering if we could
just have a moment.

Sure.

I'm sure you're both well aware
of the unique nature of today's flight.

- Is there a problem?
- It's just that this is the first time

that this unit has been tested
in a plane like this.

I see.
You know, Ms. Woodard,

I'm confident that my copilot
John Wilson and I

will be able to handle
anything that might come up.

Well, if you experience anything
out of the ordinary,

just no matter how trivial,
could you please let me know?

Absolutely.

Okay, thank you.

So this is it, huh...

the computer that's gonna
take my job?

It's got the flight plan
locked in.

Once we hit 30,000',
it takes over completely.

It regulates fuel, wind factor.

It even knows what temperature

Mr. Devain likes
the cabin set at.

Does it also make
his breakfast for him?

So what temperature does
Mr. Devain like his cabin set at?

68 chilly degrees.

This thing's set at 88°.

Yeah, you're right.

That's creepy.

I feel like that thing
is watching us.

Hello.

- Talk to me, Coop.
- Still working on it, Tom.

You're talking about a fully autonomous
logistics system.

You're talking sensor fusion,
path planning, communications,

trajectory generation
and regulation.

The plane's
gonna take off any minute.

You have to understand there are
millions of lines of code here.

You want us to do three weeks' worth
of debugging in 20 minutes.

Coop.

I'll call you
as soon as we're finished.

This is Devair Ground Control
to flight 405.

Commencing computer test
on my mark.

Three, two, one,

mark.

Looking good.
Looking good.

How is she doing, Jackson?

All systems check out.

So far so good.

See?

I told you there was
nothing to worry about.

This is Devair Ground Control
to Flight Control.

All systems check out.

Flight 405 is standing by.

Whoa, hey wait.

My apologies.

We thought everyone
was onboard.

What's this?

Bernie's of New York,
courtesy of Charles Devain.

Great. I might need this
to throw up in later.

Welcome aboard.

What's with the temperature?

Beats me. I was told
Mr. Devain likes it at 68°.

It's a lot hotter than 68°.

Ladies and gentlemen,

the captain has turned on
the "Fasten seat belt" sign

in preparation for our departure
from Los Angeles.

Please return to your seats.

Check that out.

State of the art, gentlemen,

fully automated.

At this time it is
required that you turn off

any portable
electronic devices.

So that's the computer talking?

Welcome to the future.

Please keep your seat backs
in their full upright position

with your tray tables locked
and any excess baggage

stowed safely
in the overhead bins.

Thank you for flying Devair.

What is that?

Just a little modification
of my own.

Pretty neat, huh?

A modification?

Yeah, I just wanted
to spice things up a little bit.

That is a complex computer system,
not your toy.

Now who made this modification?

One of my techs.

And you need
to stop worrying, okay?

You need to learn
to relax a little bit.

Life is good.
Smile.

Thank you.

Flight attendants,
please prepare for takeoff.

She's departed LAX.

Do we have a weather report
for the flight path?

The radar shows
a pretty heavy thunderstorm

to the north
of their flight path.

They're advising all flights
to steer clear of it.

How far north?

Plenty. It shouldn't
really be an issue.

Smooth sailing.

30,000'.

Yeah, there it is,
right on schedule.

You know, it's really
nothing more than a fancy autopilot.

It can't think.

Well, they say it can make
snap decisions if it needs to.

Yeah? I'd like to see it try.

Ladies and gentlemen,
this plane is now under the control

of a Devair Industries'
OD70 computer.

The computer has turned off
the "Fasten seat belt" light

indicating that it's now safe
to move about the cabin.

Please enjoy
the rest of your flight.

Okay, go tell...

- what's her name?
- Karen?

Karen. Go tell Karen
to break out the good stuff.

Chop chop.

Okay, it's time to get
this party started.

So what do we do now?

Now we go downstairs

and glad-hand the passengers.

Are you sure
that we should just...

we're just gonna leave
this thing alone?

I know.
I don't like it either.

But it's to drive
their point home...

we're obsolete.

Right.

Gentlemen, to the smoothest flight
in aviation history.

- Absolutely.
- Cheers.

You've finally
outdone yourself, Chuck.

I have to agree.

Hey hey, you.

- Malcolm, please.
- Sure.

- What's your name, kid?
- Jimmy.

Jimmy, take a picture.
Document this.

One more, closer.

Can I get you anything,
Ms. Woodard?

No, I'm fine. Thanks.

Cute kid.

Yes, he is.

He takes after his dad.

You know,
actually I'll take a coffee.

- Okay, sure. You got it.
- Thanks.

I was hoping we might have
a moment to chat?

Look, I'm not part
of Chuck’s PR team, okay?

Oh, I'm not interested in
press releases. I want the real story.

Your boss seems to think this computer
is going to change everything.

You're in charge of R&D, right?

Yeah well, my husband Tom was
the programmer on the project.

That's right.
I forgot you're married.

Yeah.

So why isn't he here supervising
the demonstration personally?

Look, I told you I'm not part
of the PR team, okay?

Excuse me.

Gentlemen, how does it feel
to be replaced by a machine?

Well, all I can tell you is

that machines will never
replace experience.

Okay, so we have
the neural network,

navigational system,
environmental controls,

logic interface
and communication protoc...

whoa whoa, what just happened?

I have no idea.
I didn't do anything.

Houston, we have a problem.

Excuse me.

Talk to me, Coop.
What did you find out?

Tom, we have a problem...
big, huge.

Coop, slow down.

I was using a remote UDO socket
to tap into the logic board.

I was running system diagnostics.
Everything was going great.

Then crash! Bam!
It locked me out of the system.

What do you think it is?

Looks like some sort of zip bomb.

What?

The processors are shot.
The whole system is corrupted.

It's a secured system.
How could a virus have gotten in?

That's what I thought.
So I checked the access database

and according to the records
someone uploaded some files

to the OD70 mainframe
a couple of days ago.

One of those files
could have been infected.

I didn't authorize anything.
Who was it?

Um...

Charles Devain.

There's one possibility...
if I get one of the prototypes,

I could recreate
the circumstances

and maybe we can find
a workaround.

- Do it.
- All right.

Have David pull the OD65
from the vault immediately.

Okay.

Where is it going?

- Tom.
- Where's the plane?

It appears to have veered
slightly off course,

but other than that it's fine. Why?

- We need to bring it down now.
- What?

I need you to get in touch
with the pilots

and have them
land that plane immediately.

Tom.

What are you doing?

I told you the computer
needed more testing,

that it was dangerous
to rush things.

I don't know
what you're talking about.

The OD70 has been infected.

Infected?

A computer virus.

That's absurd.

Apparently your son uploaded a file
into the mainframe

and it was infected
with a Trojan zip bomb.

It's taking over the OD70
one processor at a time.

We have the best firewall

that money can buy.

Not if Charles didn't do
an MD5 sum checker,

which I'm guessing he didn't.

Now do you want to land
that plane safely

or do you want this entire project
to crash and burn on its maiden voyage?

Richard,

my wife and your son

are on that plane.

Do it.

Sir, the OD70 is not responding.

What?

What do you mean
it's not responding?

None of the systems
are responding.

It's not accepting
any of my commands.

It's infected.
Get the pilots.

I'm on it.

Flight 405,
this is Devair Ground Control.

Flight 405, this is
Devair Ground Control.

Do you read me? Over.

I'm not getting a response.

You said they were headed off course.
Where exactly are they headed?

Right now over the Midwest.

No no no.

What? What is it?

There's a massive storm front
and they're headed right for it.

Of course.

This is Richard.

Oh great.

Okay, I'll be right down.

General Caldwell’s downstairs.

Now? You can't be serious.
You're not gonna bring him up here.

- We're in the middle of a crisis.
- My hands are tied.

Try them again.

Captain Lankford,
you are off course

and headed into
a large electrical storm.

Do you copy?

Captain Lankford,
you are off course

and headed into
a dangerous storm front.

Flight 405, do you copy?

Damn it.
What are they doing?

I don't know.

Captain Lankford, come in.

Anybody, come in.

Devair 405,

return to your scheduled
flight path immediately.

You are off course

and headed into a dan...

Look.

Captain, I checked our flight path
three times for weather before we left.

We're not on our flight path.

Captain, look.

We're headed right into it.

What's this computer doing?

This is the flight deck.
I need...

What's wrong with the sound?

I...

great.

What's going on?

Sir, I'm gonna have to ask you
to take your seat.

I want to speak
to the captain immediately.

Sir, please just take your seat.

Not until I speak
to the captain.

Jimmy!

Everybody, sit and buckle in.

Please, everyone,
just sit down.

There's just a lot of turbulence.

Let's lay him across the seat.

Jimmy, Jimmy, can you hear me?

Jimmy, we're gonna
get you help.

It's no use. The plane is still locked
to the computer system.

Well, unlock it.

I've got it.

What's the situation?

Colorado radar shows flight 405

right in the heart
of that electrical storm.

I thought you said

your system was designed
to avoid that sort of thing.

It is. As I said, General,
there's a glitch.

We believe there's a computer virus
in the system.

We're not really sure
what the problem is.

Can’t you just disconnect it?

We've been cut off
from all remote access.

Have you heard from the pilots?

I've been trying to reach them.

How serious is this storm?

Looks like a super cell,

highly charged,
with a lot of lightning.

See?

Disengage the damn thing.

- It's fighting me, Captain.
- What?

We're locked out.
I cannot disengage it.

All right, let me try.

This is flight 405.
Does anyone read?

This is flight 405.

This is flight 405.
Does anyone read?

Flight 405,
where have you been?

Put him on speaker.

We're heading directly into a storm.
We are off our flight path

and cannot disengage
the computer's autopilot.

That's impossible.

The disengage procedure
is simple.

Just do it.

We're trying.
It doesn't recognize the commands.

The computer has a virus. You're gonna
have to do a manual shutdown.

Get Samantha to help you.

I'll try. We're getting banged up
pretty badly up here.

Just get her up there.

I'll try.

She can help, right?

It's no use.
It's not responding.

Where are you going?

I'm getting Woodard.
She knows a lot more about this thing.

All right, be careful.

Ongoing storm activity

in the Midwestern United States

could pose a problem for flight 405,

the unmanned plane currently
making its way across the country.

I'm here with a representative

of the National Transportation
Safety Board, the NTSB,

which is closely monitoring
the situation.

Now what can you tell us
about flight 405?

Well, Nancy, we're not quite sure
at this time

whether or not the automated
piloting system is malfunctioning,

but what we do know
is that the plane has strayed

from its scheduled flight path.

And I hear that there's also concern
about weather in the area.

Yes, there's a large storm in the area.

And we're not sure yet how that will
impact the situation.

- Please keep us posted.
- I certainly will.

According to our meteorologists,

up to 22" of rain
has been dumped in the area,

causing severe flooding.

High winds up to 80mph,
thunderstorms and even tornadoes

have left five dead in the region

and 150,000 without power.

We will continue
to monitor the situation

and update you
on flight 405's progress.

It sounds bad.

Yeah, tell me about it.
Let's hope we find something quick.

All right.

All right, here we go.
Let's see if we can fix this thing.

- Hey, Tom, is that you?
- Have you seen the news?

It's getting worse up there.
They're flying into a storm.

Tell me about it.
It's on every channel.

Listen, I've hooked up the OD65
to the computer.

I've recreated
the virus on the system.

I've got to hand it to Charles.
He's done quite a number on this thing.

Okay, what can we do?

Well, the override controls
aren't working,

but there's a chance you can
get through the backdoor.

Go on.

It's a line of code we developed
when we wrote the software.

If you use that, you might be able
to regain control and reset the system.

I can't promise you anything.
The system's resources

are running low as it is.
Here, I'm sending it to your cell now.

Got it.

Good luck.

- What's going on?
- Everyone just stay in your seats.

We're gonna be out of this
very soon.

Why you didn't know
about this before, Devain?

Why didn't we just
fly around it?

Would you please relax?

This is an act of nature.

Consider this
an opportunity to show

how well the OD70 handles
difficult situations.

Who's to say your little creation
isn't responsible?

Okay, all right, what happened?

He hit his head
during the turbulence.

- Is he okay?
- I don't know.

He's unconscious.
He needs medical attention.

All right. Understood.
Can you stay with him?

Yes.

We need you in the cockpit.

It's the computer.

Okay.

There, you see?
Everything is fine.

At Devair we plan
for every possible contingency.

I've hit all the reset commands,

but nothing seems to take.

It's overriding me.

All right,
there's a special code

that will shut down
everything on the OD70.

Are you next to the unit?

Hang on, let me get over there.
I'll put you on speaker.

Are you over there yet?

Almost.

I'm here.

Okay, enter this code:

F as in Fred,

1-9-5-4.

Okay.

Now all you have to do
is hit the "Clear" tab

to return control
of the plane to you.

But after that you'll be
on full manual.

Got it.

Hello?

What was that?

Are you all right?
All right?

Captain.

He's dead.

Sam?

Sam, is that you?
What's going on up there?

The plane's been hit by a lightning.
The captain is dead.

Don't touch anything,
whatever you do.

Wilson? Wilson!

- Sam, what's happening?
- Tom, he's not responding.

- Sam?
- Wilson, can you hear me? Wilson.

You're gonna need
to relax and focus.

Don't touch the controls
while you're in the storm.

What?

The OD70 has been infected
with a virus.

We can't control it.

It was Charles, wasn't it?

He said that he made some sort
of modifications.

So we're gonna have to
deactivate the system.

As long as the OD70
is flying that plane,

there's no telling
what it will do.

Okay, all right, I'm gonna try.

Tom, the plane's descending.

It looks like we're dropping down
below the storm clouds.

I don't know.
I think we might get through it.

What's your altitude?

It's the gauge right next
to the throttle.

It says 20,000' and dropping.

Does it feel like
a controlled descent?

Yeah, I think so.

It seems to be leveling out
at 10,000'.

Well, let me know if it gets
below 10,000.

Seems like it's holding steady
at 10,000.

And it seems like
we're out of the storm.

Let me see if it's safe.

Okay.

Okay, Sam, you're gonna
have to enter this code:

F as in Fred,

1-9-5-4.

No, it's not working. The lightning
must have fused all the circuits.

Tom, we've got several
people onboard

who need immediate
medical attention.

We've got to land this thing
someplace.

Tom. Tom, can you hear me?

Anybody, can you hear me?

Sam, Sam, are you there?

What is it?

Communications are tied
through the OD70.

We've lost contact
with the plane.

And Samantha
can't shut it down?

Not if the circuitry is fused.

Show me the location
of that plane.

How long till
it reaches Cleveland?

What's that got to do
with anything?

One hour, sir.

If that plane crashes
into a populated area,

it'll be a disaster
of tremendous proportions.

Nobody said anything
about a plane crashing.

You just said it yourself...

the plane is under
the control of a system

that's infected
with a computer virus.

Which we are working on.

Which means there's
over 800,000 lbs up there

flying without a pilot.

Now you tell me there's no way
to communicate with it.

Like it or not,
that plane is a threat.

We cannot allow that plane
to reach a heavily-populated area

at any cost.

You're not thinking about shooting
down a plane full of innocent people?

There are hundreds
of thousands on the ground.

Well, there has to be
another way.

If there is,
I want to hear about it.

Tom, isn't there anything

that you can think of?

If I could get inside the unit,
I could rewire the logic board,

return control of the plane,
get it away from the computer.

But I'd have to be
onboard to do that.

No one else can do it?

There's no one else that knows
the system well enough.

It'd be risky,
but we do have a modified jet

that could be used
for an air-to-air transfer.

We developed it
for refueling, not for this,

but it might work.
And it could reach the plane

before the plane
reaches the city.

I'll do it.

I can't guarantee your safety.

If I get you on that plane
and you can't stop it in time,

you'll be shot down as well.

My wife is on that flight.

And my son.

All right.

But if we're gonna do it,
we've got to do it now.

Come with me.

Tom, thank you.

We'll talk about this later.

Tony, it's Daddy.

Hi, Daddy.

Hey, I just wanted to call you

and tell you I love you
and I miss you.

I love you too.
Is Mommy home yet?

No, but she will be soon.

I... I just...

I wanted to tell you
I love you.

You said that already.

I know I did.

Well, I'll see you soon, okay?

Okay. Bye.

Hey, be good
for Aunt Pat, okay?

I will.

This is General Caldwell.
We've got an emergency situation.

I'm on my way
to the chopper now.

I need that modified SR-71
standing by.

And I want
a squadron of F-15s

ready for briefing
in 15 minutes.

Sir, maybe you should
make a statement here,

try to get everybody
back on track.

Oh yeah.

Yeah, that's a good idea.

Okay, everybody,
everything is fine.

There's nothing to worry about,
just like I said.

What about Jimmy?
He needs help.

As we speak, the OD70

is looking for the nearest airport
so we can land.

I for one have had enough
of your demonstration, Devain.

The sooner we are back
on the ground, the better.

Malcolm, Malcolm, this is just
a little rough weather

and the plane handled it
beautifully.

This is just the kind of thing
the OD70 is designed for.

The OD70
almost got us all killed.

Um...

What is your name?

- Karen.
- Karen,

please get everybody
some drinks, will you? Please?

Everything is... is...

Excuse me.

No word
from the Pentagon yet, sir.

Let me know
the minute they call.

Were they able
to assemble everyone?

- Yes sir.
- The SR-71?

Tom Woodard is en route
to the hangar now.

Sir, you are aware
that the docking tube

has never been used
for personnel transfer before?

He's aware of the risks.
Who are you sending along?

Captain Taggart, sir.

If anyone can get Tom onboard
that aircraft, it's Taggart.

As you were.

By now you're undoubtedly aware

that today at 1100 hours

Devair Industries
launched a 747

equipped with an experimental
automatic piloting system.

Now here's what we know:

The pilot is dead;

the copilot has been
incapacitated;

and the automated system
has been infected

with a computer virus.

It's off course
and has already flown itself

directly into a severe storm.

We suspect that the plane
may have sustained

some lightning damage,
adding to the problem.

At this moment
the plane is approximately

20 minutes
from the Cleveland area.

As we speak,
the lead programmer is boarding

a specially modified SR-71

in an attempt to disable
the system in the air.

But in the event that he fails,

we need to be ready
to bring this plane down.

Your mission is to intercept

Devair flight 405.

I want missile lock,

but take no action without
further instruction from me.

If we can't regain control
of this aircraft,

we're gonna have to take it down.

Make no mistake...

this is not an easy order.

There are innocents
onboard that plane.

But I can't stress enough
what could happen

if that plane were to lose control
over a major city.

There are nearly half a million
people in that city

and we can't afford
to take any chances.

Are there any questions?

- No sir.
- No sir.

Dismissed.

Sir, are you sure about this?

Let's hope Tom Woodard is able
to shut this thing down.

Sir.

We're on the news.

Sources at Air Traffic Control
have confirmed

that communication with flight 405

has apparently been lost
as a result of a lightning strike.

The condition of the OD70
navigation system is unknown

and the air force will not
comment on rumors

that F-15s have been scrambled
to possibly intercept the flight.

How did this get out?

I want complete media silence.

The last thing we need
right now is a circus

while we're trying to save lives.

Devair issued a brief statement
only to say

that they are working on restoring
communication with the aircraft

and that it's proceeding
to New York as scheduled.

However, the Federal Aviation
Administration

and the Department
of Homeland Security

are monitoring
the situation carefully.

Blackbird, this is Andreas Base.

You should have visual contact
with flight 405

in approximately 35 minutes.

Copy that, Andreas Base.

Captain Taggart, visual confirmation
on flight 405

in approximately 35 minutes.

Copy that.

Listen to me. We took a big hit
with that lightning storm.

Our pilot is dead,
our copilot is unconscious

and that computer is still
running the show.

What?

We are well off course
and I have no idea where we're going.

How could you let this happen,
Samantha?

What?

Listen, you are the one that launched
this without proper testing, okay?

You should have
listened to Tom.

No no no, this is bad.
This could ruin me.

This could be
the end of my career.

This could ruin all of us.

Are you crazy?
Is that all you can think about?

You've got a dead man in there
and two seriously injured.

You... you have to
do something.

You have to fix this.

I will pay you
whatever you want.

Charles, I've already done
everything I can.

Okay, we have
to stay calm, okay?

We have to stay calm and you
have to keep them calm in there.

And do not tell them
about the pilots.

Then what?

I'm working on that part.

Deactivating navigation system,

disabling primary logic circuit.

- Ow.
- What's it doing?

Fighting back.
Get Tom on the line now.

Grab that.

Come on, come on.

Hi, this is Tom. Leave a message.

Hi, Tom. Where are you?

Listen, the security systems
are engaged.

Any attempt
to dismantle the computer

may be deemed
as a hostile threat.

You've got to be careful.
The OD70 will do anything

to protect itself... anything.

What's wrong with the air?
I can't breathe.

- Somebody help.
- What's wrong with this plane?

- The oxygen's been cut off.
- What do we do?

You're gonna have to use
your oxygen masks.

Over here.

We have an oxygen tank
in the galley.

Okay, let's go get it.

Let's go.

Oh my God.

Charles.

- Charles, can you hear me?
- Huh?

- Can you hear me? Charles.
- Here.

- All right.
- Let me help you.

Here, breathe.
Breathe breathe.

- Let's get him in a seat.
- Okay.

Here, hold this.
We're gonna take you to a seat, okay?

Come on.

Come on, can you get up?

Careful.
Oh God.

Okay, sit down.

Any luck?

No, I'm still working on a procedure
to disable the main computer.

Come on.

What if I short the main circuit?

It worked.

- It worked.
- It worked.

Tell David to get a message to Tom.
This is exactly what he has to do.

This is Charlie Tango 1.
Alert General Caldwell.

We are preparing for takeoff.

Roger that,
Charlie Tango 1.

Initiating launch procedure.
Main engines are a go.

Course positions locked in.

You are cleared
for takeoff on runway 3.

Good luck, Charlie Tango 1.

Roger that.

There he is.
General Caldwell. General Caldwell.

- Get these reporters out of here.
- Yes sir.

I'm on my way back to Devair
to monitor the situation.

General Caldwell,
I have the Secretary of Defense.

I'll call you back.

General Caldwell,
what's going on with the airplane?

General Caldwell,
do you have any comment?

Yes, Mr. Secretary.

Anytime the lives
of American civilians

are placed in jeopardy,

it's tragic
and must not be taken lightly.

Sometimes being
in my position means

having to face decisions that

I wish I didn't have to make.

Unfortunately, this is a decision
that must be made

in the interest
of national security.

Permission to shoot down
flight 405

is granted.

- I understand, sir.
- General Caldwell.

General Caldwell, just a few
quick questions, please.

Is there any truth to the rumor
that the air force is preparing

to shoot down Devair flight 405?

I'm afraid I can't comment
on an ongoing situation. I'm sorry.

Why is the Secretary
of Defense involved?

General Caldwell, General Caldwell.

- A couple of questions.
- Do you have any comments?

Let's get out of here.

You got it.

Hey, something just went by.

I have target in sight.

We're coming up
under flight 405 now.

Adjusting pitch.3°.

Matching airspeed.

Prepare for transfer.

Extending transfer tube.

25 minutes.

What was that?

I don't know.

Maybe I'd better go up
to the cockpit.

No, I'll go.

If it has anything to do with the
computer, I'll be the one to handle it.

But I can help you.

No, it's not a good idea.

What's wrong?
Did something happen?

Is it John?

No, I need you to stay here
and take care of these people, okay?

I have docked and locked,

pressurized.
Docking maneuver successful.

We can maintain
for no more than two minutes.

You'd better hurry.
There's an auxiliary storage hatch

you're gonna have to open.
It'll set off the auto pressure alarm,

so don't freak out.
Just get inside and reseal the hatch.

Take this rebreather.
The air's too thin out there.

Thanks.

I can maintain
for 60 seconds more.

Copy that.
60 seconds.

Retracting docking tube.

Transfer successful.

Copy that, Blackbird.
Return to base.

Roger that.
Returning to base.

All right,
Woodard's on the plane.

Now let's see what he can do.

Can anybody hear me?

Somebody help me out of here.

Sam?

Tom? Tom, is that you?

Who else?

Can you get me out of here?

Stand back.

Tom!

How did you get here?

The air force.

You know, there must be a separate
air supply for the flight deck,

'cause they're not getting oxygen
down in the main cabin.

I can fix that.
Where is it?

Let's move these men
out of here.

Careful, he's hurt pretty bad.

Is there anyone on this plane
who can fly it?

I don't think so.

All right,
get in the captain's chair.

- You're gonna have to do it.
- Do what?

Whatever it takes.

What are you doing?

I am turning off
the air supply control.

There.

The air should be back to normal
in the cabin in a few minutes.

Cooper’s back in the lab. He thinks
he's found a way to bypass the system.

I'm gonna try to hotwire
across the circuitry

and cause a temporary short.

What's happening?

If I didn't know any better,
I'd say it just tried to hurt me.

Argh!

- You don't like that, huh?
- Tom, please be careful.

Tom, what's it doing?

Defending itself.

Tom, it's going lower.

It's taking us
right into the turbulence.

The aircraft is
experiencing some light turbulence.

Please return to your seats.

It's gonna be close.

This is Charlie Tango 1.
We have the target in range,

seven minutes
from designated kill zone.

Acquiring missile lock.

Keep pace with the aircraft
until further orders, Charlie Tango 1.

Roger that.

- What are they doing here?
- A fighter jet escort?

Tom!

All right, if I can just bypass
the logic board...

The aircraft is experiencing
some light turbulence.

- Please return to your seats.
- Oh, can you please shut that thing up?

I'm working on it.

Say good night, Gracie.

The aircraft is...

...experiencing some light turbulence.

This is the cockpit.

The OD70 has been disconnected
and we're back under manual control.

Just relax
and keep your seat belts on.

Base, this is Charlie Tango 1.

We have reached
the designated kill zone.

I am standing by to fire.

I'm gonna try
reconnecting the radio.

Okay.

All right, I'm ready.

- Argh!
- What happened?

I'm fine.
Just see if it works.

This is flight 405.

Does anybody read me?

Flight 405, yes, we read you.
What's going on there?

Thomas here
has disconnected the unit

and we are back
on manual control.

All right, call it off now, General.

Abort. Your orders are
to stand down.

Abort strike.
Repeat, abort strike.

Orders are to stand down.
Return to base.

Roger that.
Returning to base.

Hey, the jets...
they're leaving.

Maybe that's good news.

Now all we have to do is land.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Sam, are you still with me?

Yep, we're here.
Just tell me what to do.

Their closest airport is
Hopkins International.

Patch us through
to Hopkins Air Traffic Control.

Let's get that girl some help.

Sam, we're gonna patch you through
to Air Traffic Control.

I think they can talk you in.

Are you kidding me?

We can do this.

You can do this.

Flight 405, this is Air Traffic Control.
Do you read?

I read you.
Are we gonna land this thing or what?

Just do what I say and we'll get you
on the ground in one piece.

Okay, just tell me what to do.

I need to know
what your altitude is.

Now this will be
on the right-hand side.

We're still at 10,000'.

Good good.
Now what's your fuel level?

3,000 lbs.

- 3,000 lbs.
- Okay, not too bad.

Okay, we're dropping a little.
We're at 9,000'.

I need you to pull back
on the yoke...

not too hard, not too soft.

Just keep it firm.

Done.

Okay, you're gonna need
to change your course.

You're headed into
Hopkins, Cleveland.

On the console you'll see a meter
that should be reading 6-1-9.

Now you need to turn the yoke
until it reads 5-0-2.

That's it. That's it.
You're doing great...

better than great.
You just hold on tight.

Okay, we're at 5-0-2.

You're a little ways out,
so you just hold it steady, okay?

Stand by
for further instructions.

You're doing fine.
Don't worry.

Do you love me?

You bet.

Even if I kill you?

Sure, why not?

You were right about me
leaving you in New York.

I know.

That was a rotten thing to do.

I know.

You were right.
I was wrong.

Yeah, I kind of figured
as much.

Do you have to agree
with everything I say?

No.

This is
Samantha Woodard speaking.

We're getting ready for a landing,
so please keep your seat belts fastened

for the remainder of the flight.

What? What's happening?

Shh. We're landing.

What happened?

You don't want to know.

Sam, are you ready
for a layover in Cleveland?

Does it matter?

Nope.
So let's get to the good stuff.

Now look down.

There's a pedestal between you
and the copilot's seat.

There's a large lever there.

Now I want you
to pull that back halfway

and then push the yoke forward

just a few notches.

What's happening?

You're going into a stall.
You need more speed... more speed.

Well, how do I do that?

Aft pedestal.
Push the lever forward now.

Okay, I think that did it.

Okay. Look, hold it steady.

Now, Sam, I want you to push
the yoke forward a little bit.

A little bit more.

Good.

Good.
How are you holding up?

Scared to death.

You're doing fine.

Now you should have
the runway in sight.

Yeah, I do.

Okay, good good.

Okay, now lower
the landing gear.

It's the knob on the dash
to your right.

And you stand by on the flaps.

It's the lever to the left
of the throttle.

Okay, I see it.

Get your hand on it.

And... push the flaps.

Sam.

Tom, it's not working.

The gear train is still routed
to the computer.

I'm gonna have to reconnect it
to the manual controls.

Tom, there's some
red light flashing.

Got it. Got it.

Pull the flap.

Now, Sam, reach down
to the throttle

and pull it back all the way...
all the way, Sam.

Oh, we made it.

All right!

Yeah! Whoo!
All right!

He did it.
He actually did it.

All right.

Thank God they didn't ask me
to parallel park, huh?

Honey, I love you.

You did it, Sam.

You really earned
your wings today.

Well, thanks, guys.

I think I'm gonna be walking
everywhere from now on.

I think that went rather well.

Ready to go?

Do you really have to ask?

No.

How's your hand?

Oh, it's fine.
Hey, look at this.

What's that?

A bonus check from Devain
for doing such outstanding work.

Oh, you'd better cash that quick.

Yeah, I know.

What do you say me, you
and Tony go on a vacation?

We can afford it.

Okay, but we're taking a train.

No problem.

What is this?

Just the mark of a hero.

Mr. Devain, I'm not going to invest
another dime in your company.

No no.

Malcolm. Malcolm.

This is your fault.
This is both of your faults.

And I'm telling you,
it's gonna cost you.

Tom, no. Your hand.

Consider that a resignation.

There were
tense moments this afternoon

aboard flight 405

en route from Los Angeles to New York

when the plane had
to make an emergency landing

at Cleveland’s
Hopkins International Airport.

In related news,

aviation officials are calling the test

of Devair's automated piloting system,

the OD70, a failure

and are calling for an immediate
investigation

into what some are referring to

as the company's reckless endangerment

of the aircraft and its passengers.

Reporting live

from Los Angeles International Airport,

this is Nancy Carter.
