- Are you ready to get your minds blown?

Because I've got a little secret to tell you

about Skyline Pacific 281.

See, one of the passengers is a killer with a dark past.

And not only that, yeah?

But his dirty secret was covered up

by some powerful people.

But why? And who am I talking about?

Felix Vatubua--

yeah, who slipped under the rug

of this whole entire story,

'cause no one's even talking about the fact

that Felix Vatubua served in the British military.

Yeah, bet you didn't even know Fijians could do that.

[scoffs] So Vatubua is deployed to Afghanistan

as part of ISAF, I-S-A-F,

the International Security Assistance Force.

But here is the bombshell.

[computer chimes]

Felix Vatubua, certificate of service,

check out what it says--

or doesn't say.

Look, right here, right here.

"Discharged."

No reason, which is kind of odd

but maybe explainable

until Felix's final mission--

Operation Deadstock.

Nine men go in, one man comes out alive.

Who?

Yeah. [knock at door]

Felix Vatubua.

[key clacks]

- Piss off, Zoe.

- It's me. [scoffs]

- If she sent you, can you tell her to stop staring at me?

My rights are being violated.

Why are you dressed like that?

- [sighs] You've forgotten.

- No, I haven't.

- The settlement conference.

The insurance company have made a new offer

now that wreckage has been found.

- It proves nothing.

- Well, they obviously think that it does.

- I'm on the trail of the real story behind this.

- Another one.

- Felix Vatubua, look.

- Felix, of course.

It's been staring us in the face this whole time.

- The same guy just happens to be on a plane

that disappears off the face--

- It didn't disappear.

[scoffs] It's tragic,

but the plane crashed into the South Pacific.

And because that is a vast expanse of water,

they can't find it, okay?

T-t-there is no other story.

[sighs] It's time to move on

for all of us.

[sighs]

Fantastic.

- I'm pretty sure you already moved on.

In fact, you moved on before my sister even--

- Thanks to you all for joining us.

I know it's not easy

to find a mutually convenient time zone.

We are convened today,

because after the 300-mile-squared,

multi-agency search,

we finally have a significant development

which you'll find in these information packs.

This piece of wreckage bearing the serial number

of the missing flight, Skyline Pacific 281,

washed up on the island of Yasawa,

which is about equidistant

between the flight's origin on Nadi

and its destination, Limaji.

The air accident investigation department

have determined that the aircraft incurred

a mechanical failure

and subsequent impact with the ocean surface.

It then tragically sank.

As a result, the insurance company

have issued a fresh offer to settle,

which you'll find on page 10.

- It's fair.

- While the headline figure may appear generous,

we believe a counteroffer could prove lucrative.

- Well, there's a surprise.

We go back with a number they'll never agree to,

this offer gets revoked.

Only remaining option is a painful trial

that drags on for years.

Ka-ching, law firm.

- I can assure you, Mrs. Eldridge,

our only concern is the fair-- - Your concern is noted.

Our only move is to accept.

Yes, we could fight, end up with more money, perhaps.

But at what cost?

- It's not about the money.

- [chuckles] You're not paying the lawyers.

- A plane carrying 14 human beings

vanishes into vapor.

It just happens to have no black box.

After months of searching, there isn't a single sighting.

But now that the insurance companies want to wrap this up,

a piece of the wreckage just suddenly appears

which happens to contain

the plane's serial number, make, and model?

- It's no less plausible than your previous theories

of hijacking and sabotage.

Wasn't it a flight attendant at one point?

- Look, if we give up on them now,

we're giving up on them forever.

I'm not ready to let go of my sister.

- Because we've accepted reality.

Maybe you should, too.

- Do you not want to find your husband?

- Oh, for crying out loud, Erin.

I apologize.
