- Better go with the passengers. - Good girl.

Control tower of Los Angeles, here Consolidated 22.

Consolidated 22, here tower of Angels control, talk.

Our right reactor has been burned down Light and alarm work.

- Stop it, stop it. - Wait, 22.

- Come back right away. - Will have to wait.

- There are planes here, here and here. - Nothing less than three.

Tell him to wait while we remove them from there.

- Radar control to Consolidated 22. - 22, I listen.

Lower to 1,000 m. Maintaining the route 350. Do not deviate to the east.

- There are three planes in that area. - 22, according to

Art, take a look from the other cabin. But walking, without running.

Tell them we're back. That there is nothing to worry about.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are sorry inform them that due to difficulties

we are forced to return to Los Angeles.

Keep fastened Your belts, thank you.

- Bravo, good boy. - Pay attention. Follow route 20.

What happened?

Radar control, here 22. Change.

They do not answer.

The other reactor!

- Radar control ... - For the alarm.

Martha, prepare them for a forced landing

- There is no contact. - Too low for the radar.

Oh, what a beautiful beach.

Hurrah.

THE STEPS OF DESTINY

- They can not happen. - No. Yes, they can happen.

They are from the Consolidated company. Mr. Stillman. Vice president.

Look at that. Uniform pressure in all points when touching earth.

Yes. They could be saved of not finding that obstacle.

You have to give the list of passengers. They have not all died.

- Are there survivors? - Yes three. They are there.

They were fired. Those inexplicable things.

One of them is our stewardess, Martha Webster.

The other two, passengers.

- There are hopes? - I can not say it. A strong shock

That it be attended in everything necessary.

The flight was number 22 of Consolidated Airlines.

With 54 people on board. 49 passengers and 5 crew.

The accident happened to the five minutes of taking off.

The plane that was already in flight It crashed 15 km from the airport.

All dead... Why?

I present Mr. Crawford of the civil aviation board.

I will investigate the case.

Where can they ride the remains of the plane for your study?

We will move them to a hangar.

Excuse me Mr. McBane, but we would like ask him some questions.

Mr. Wilson is our head of public relations. It will attend you.

- We know, but as a boss ... - An accident enters your jurisdiction.

Mr. McBane heads flight operations.

Mr. Sawyer is the boss technical and conservation.

- The accident concerns us all. - Would you like to add something, Mr. McBane?

Apparently there was a failure in the engine straight. It's all we know.

I have said that It's all we know!

It is not all. We also know that this It was not the direct cause of the accident.

After that failure, the left engine it was still working.

- I could keep the plane in flight. - How is the accident explained

with the plane at 15 Kms. world airport

where everything was prepared for the pilot to land?

- And he received instructions to do it. - And the visibility was perfect.

Does not all of this indicate that Is it due to a pilot error?

Captain Savage was a pilot veteran and the best.

- Could not I have made an error? - No, it is not possible.

- What he tells us does not help. - Please!

One moment, friends, one moment. Just a moment.

Let me talk!

It is a real mystery and we do our best to clarify it.

We have flight registration and we are going to study it.

Can you explain what is a flight record?

The automatic registration of all its incidents.

If there is a mechanical failure, the graphics indicate it.

It's the FBI, they seem to know something. Deliberate action from outside.

- Sabotage? - Why not? It has happened before.

Well, have me informed.

A passenger subscribed an insurance special three days for the maximum

and then two more policies in the airport machines.

A total of about $ 400,000.

I want them to be searched on the plane signs of possible explosives.

Since the investigation will carry out civil aviation

and under my direction, I will decide what should be done.

- Excuse me, gentlemen. - Do not reveal anything at the moment.

Here. Do you know what the two surviving passengers?

They just communicated They did not arrive alive at the hospital.

- Do you have something to say about it? - No, nothing.

A case of bad luck, huh?

Listen, Mr. Crawford. I do not believe in luck.

And therefore, not in bad luck nor in the good one. Do you do me the favor?

I see you are not aware of what about the jetty.

If everything had developed with Normally your plane would not have crashed.

A contractor had the order of demolishing it a week ago.

At the last minute he decided to go hunting. It was delayed two days in the return.

The demolition was going to start tomorrow. Does not that call it bad luck?

Just a moment!

This accident is due to something that It has nothing to do with luck.

Someone failed at something. We do not know yet.

And why not the pilot?

Keep in mind that on a flight only the pilot does not intervene.

Did they ignore it? Allow me

Remember and start everywhere.

Tell me anything. Any detail you think you remember.

I'm not sure of anything.

Yes, I seem to remember that the alarm sounded.

- A failure in a reactor. - We had just taken off and ...

I was with them in the cockpit.

- Then I went to the passenger and ... - Say, was the movement even?

- It must have been something else, something else! - I beg you not to tire her anymore.

I'm not well.

I think I opened a door, but, from there, I do not remember anything else.

The cockpit, I entered and the alarm was sounding.

- And the two red lights are on. - One moment, the two lights? Safe?

- I closed the door and went out again. - The two lights.

- And there was D'Arcy! - Please, leave it now.

D'Arcy He was standing in the hallway.

I still seem to be watching her. It was his first flight with us.

Why did she die and not me? My God, why did you save me?

Please tell me. Why me? Why me?

- Seagull feathers. - Yes

To be more exact a Pacific seagull.

Very rarely do they visit us in this time of years.

They practically never come close to land. They stay away.

However, this he was on the track

waiting for it to absorb this reactor to later drown it.

It is rare that they come here the seagulls.

And even more so of this species.

Well, it's a mystery that I leave to the philosophers.

It has nothing to do with it with science.

This is the right engine, and we know that was not the one that caused the accident.

Nor the other either.

- Wait for it to be revised. - We've done it already. Come on.

- Here's the left reactor. - Not a scratch, Sam. Intact.

- There are no signs of explosion. - Any.

It's not possible. The stewardess says that she He turned on the red light of this reactor.

- She heard the alarm and saw the light. - Put it in motion.

That girl must have to be wrong

Would not you influence her ... inadvertently?

I say it because you must have the ideas pretty confusing after all.

No. She said it very convinced.

- At least it seemed. - Did they tell you about the registry?

It was destroyed. There is no human means of using it.

But we have advanced in another address. About the alleged sabotage.

The one who made sure was an artist failed who lived in Hollywood

and owed the rent. According to his landlord, he had not climbed an airplane in his life.

An eccentric capable of manufacturing any contraption. He was very crafty.

This is.

Mr. Sawyer. Mr. Sawyer. The control of radar has the tapes ready.

Let's go.

Mr. Proctor. Mr. McBane. They do not know how glad I am to find you.

A few minutes ago I received a information about your pilot.

- What is it about? - Of your liking to drink.

Someone is calling the newspapers saying that he saw Savage in a bar

- Only two hours before the flight. - That's a lie.

- Are you sure? - Clear.

I saw Savage 10 minutes before the flight.

Some bear the best drink What others. You know.

I just repeat what They have said.

The owner of a bar recognized him see your picture in the newspapers.

None of my pilots violates the 24-hour rule.

That is pure invention. Forget it.

I can not, because one hour before they also saw him in another bar,

and with the same friend. The friend could hardly walk.

If you dare to give that as news, I will sue you for slander.

No one has claimed that it is true. They are not so stupid.

I've told him In case it could be useful.

- Thank you. - We appreciate it, Mr. Crawford.

- Mr. Proctor. They call it. - We'll meet in the tower.

It is an unconfirmed rumor. I would not pay any attention to him.

- If it was not because... - If it was not what?

Well, do not forget that I was here the first time Savage came,

when it was? 16 years ago, right?

One of your student pilots. Oh, and what student.

He came from working in a flying circus.

After flying five years in a transport squadron.

Remember when it crashed our only training device?

Yes, I remember it.

I was still singing "Luna Azul" when you and I take it from there.

Go a guy.

It's easy to remember things like that of Savage, right?

And more, being able to paint them now of the color you want.

Maybe you forced me to do it removing your sleeve motors,

to throw me responsibilities over.

I assure you that you can not with me, Sam.

I also wish that vice president.

It will not be enough for you to sacrifice the reputation of a dead pilot.

You will have to prove your guilt.

Let's start by going to the tower Let's see what they tell us.

Control tower of Los Angeles, here Consolidated 22.

Consolidated 22, here tower of control of the Angels. I talked.

Our right reactor is It has burned down. Light and alarm signal.

- Stop it, stop it. - Wait, 22.

Well, what do you think? How does it sound?

Somewhat worried, but not Panicked, I would say.

It is not the voice of a drunk man.

- Come back right away. - Will have to wait.

- There are planes here, here and here. - Nothing less than three.

Tell him to wait while we remove them from there.

- Radar control to Consolidated 22. - 22, I listen.

Lower to 1,000 m. Maintaining the route 350. Especially do not deviate to the east.

- There are three planes in that area. - 22, according to

They have already heard it. Totally normal

With such short phrases It can not be appreciated.

- Is it true that he drank? - I can assure you no.

It is also a coincidence a detail.

Of 120 planes that arrived at that hour, only three, just those three,

they arrived late about your scheduled schedule.

If not, we would have done it land immediately.

- We can now give you step 22. - Bravo, good boy.

And now comes another strange thing. His radio was muted.

Confirm, 22. Here tower of control of Los Angeles. Change.

We did not hear them again.

Then it was when they happened what that outside, but of course ...

they will never be able to explain it to us. Say?

- Yes, is here. For you. - Thank you.

- Here Proctor. - All right.

There is no more. But tell me,

How many possibilities are there of a radio failure?

That has nothing to see with which the plane crashed.

I do not mean that. I speak of coincidences like that of the 3 planes.

Which is very possible Do not happen again in ten years.

But that did not motivate the accident that is what interests us. What motivated it?

Something material? Something that can be touched?

Thank you, we will go at once. Yes. It was the FBI ...

- About sabotage? - Do they have something to tell us.

And the individual's suitcase in question. They took it out of the water.

That's it, gentlemen. There is no such saboteur. Discarded.

Allow me a question. They do not believe that such insurance is not normal?

For him it was. I was going to accompany him A friend who had a feeling.

A passage was canceled, remember? He got scared and he made himself safe.

- He stopped benefiting his sister. - She lives in Seattle and was going to get married.

That's why he had this in his suitcase moth-eaten frac. I thought I would wear it.

- Say? - Excuse me, Mr. McBane.

Mr. Hutchins and Mr. Wilson they're here.

- We will keep in touch. - I have to include this in my report.

Tomorrow the board meets of civil aviation.

- Morning? - At ten.

I know it has been quick, but Public opinion is impatient.

And this is not what It will reassure you.

A rumor has circulated about a pilot who was seen drinking before the flight.

If there is any truth in all this, We are in a good mess.

All the relatives of the victims They will be preparing their demands.

- They will go with their lawyers. - All right. That's the ordinary, is not it?

Blame the dead pilot. That way he can not defend himself.

Let's be honest. Let's recognize that Jack was not the image of the ideal pilot.

- Because what you say? - First, single.

People like to think who are parents.

- With a house, a wife, children ... - I am single too.

You are not a line driver.

You have not been going from one rich heiress to a dancer.

And the last one was a Chinese, I think.

- How did you find out about all that? - We have received a lot of information.

Adventurer, reveler, gallant. The whole world will know.

If we can not deny it, we have to recognize that we have made a mistake.

Just a moment. Shut up a moment. Do the favor of.

With none of my pilots I would make an error like that.

Let's talk seriously. How can you be so sure?

Regarding him, it's easy. I was your co-pilot in the war.

Have you frequented your company in recent years?

You know that in recent years I've been tied to this table.

That's why you can not back him up. Who are you defending?

- What do you mean by that? - To Savage or to you?

To you in the first place for having admitted him!

Very good, very good, Ben.

Why do not you go out there and Do you proclaim what you think?

Have value At least expose it here clearly.

Failure of the instructor. Mine, huh?

I am responsible for all this. Is that what you mean?

Enough. Listen to both of us.

I do not care who is going to be promoted or who has to resign.

I care about the company. Must defend your prestige above all.

And I only see one way to achieve it, blame the pilot.

And it has to be you, Sam, who does it

That is in the best possible way, but have him ready for the meeting.

All against you, right?

It's not that I listened. It is not I had cotton to cover my ears.

The truth is that something had that cause the accident.

- Do you also think it was your fault? - I did not say that.

The only thing I have said is that without There must have been a reason.

It could be due to many things, of course. Acts of negligence, coincidences,

to bad luck ... Why not? To those feathers, maybe.

Yes, or to that jetty that It was not demolished in time.

And that serves as an excuse now to those who do not know what to look for,

- Or they do not want to search. - And you insist on doing it.

And maybe you run into a explanation that does not suit you.

- What will he do then? - 53 people have died.

53! And we are responsible. Do you think I'm going to avoid my part?

Only for a vice president? Vice president of what?

I'm not interested.

I do not mind losing my job defend Jack Savage.

That way I'll keep my conscience clean.

What will it take?

I understand that you identified to the pilot of this plane, right?

- Yes - You say you were here last night?

- Yes - And you saw him drink?

Well, I served him, but I did not I was left to see how he drank it.

He has recognized him for this photograph.

But he was in civilian clothes when he saw him, and here you wear uniform.

Well yes, the truth is that it was countryman An American checkered.

But even with a toga, I would still assure you that it is him.

- Bernie, put another whiskey. - Right away.

- Serve me one, please. - All right.

Have. Keep the change.

Wow, thank you very much.

I forgot to tell him he was sitting there, on that stool.

It was a good time, laughing and having fun

Next to him he had sat striking blonde and had fun.

The friend of hers came through the door and I thought I would break his face.

As for the friend who came with that pilot, he was like a Cuba.

And he kept calling him: "Jack." That's why I recognized him when he read his name.

Bernie, put a bourbon, and change this

You say that your friend called Jack.

- What did he call his friend? - The truth is that I did not hear it.

But I remember it was more or less of the same age as that Savage.

And that was one morning on eleven and already drunk lost.

He could not stand.

His name is Mickey.

- Mickey, what else? - Oh, I do not know.

I know his name is Mickey because He said he wanted to go to another bar.

And his friend replied: "No, Mickey, I want to hear music first."

And he gave me half a dollar for the pianist to give it to him.

Do you know what I wanted to hear? "Blue Moon". What do you think?

Good thing it's not one of those journalists. How they have left the flowers.

They have entered like buffaloes asking Yes, I knew a certain Mickey.

I think two of them were detectives private. But I'm not sure.

- And do you know Mickey? - No, Mr. McBane.

I'm not in the habit of rummaging through private life of my tenants.

So I do not know your friends.

I have been told that I should leave things as they are for some time.

Do you realize how everything is?

Apparently, last night Mr. Savage I was in a hurry to put on my uniform.

I guess it will be pretty, for the one that you like, of course.

I can not stand the paintings. Too showy

Of course, to him, with his character, It suited her.

Oh, your concertina. He loved the concertina.

To the neighbors not so much. You have to see how they protested.

I gave parties and sang and played that until the early morning.

- Maybe I should not have said it. - No. He does well to say it.

Actually, I do not care. I never take care of others.

Live and let live. That's my motto.

That was another of his diversions.

I seem to be seeing the night in what brought him home.

Laughing like a child and tumbling through the garden with him on his back.

Oh, I've talked again.

I was next to the window when They arrived in captain and that girl.

One of those little friends he I found God knows where.

I do not know until when I'm going to have to take care of these things.

As if I had nothing more to do.

Do you hear?

That is also a tenant. When it is not one, it is another.

But surely none is so particular as was the captain.

Sorry. I am a woman of principles and I could not approve certain things.

Look at that. A woman's league hung there. An indecency

I'll be right back, Mr. McBane.

There is no love, there is nothing ...

Until my love comes home.

No, sir, there's nothing ...

until the boy should come.

I have promised you that I will wait for you.

Until the hell freezes.

I'm very lonely, Heaven knows it.

But I keep what I say.

There is no love, there is nothing ...

It is the promise that I keep.

No fun with anyone,

I'm getting sleepy ...

My heart is on strike.

And I think it's like a honeycomb vacuum ...

Without love, or man.

Nothing until my love returns.

No love, no sir. Nothing...

Until my love returns home.

Captain, I'll go out with you.

You have known how to choose well, huh?

The spear to any one of each camp to maintain morale.

Except yours, friend.

Not love, or anything

Until my love returns home.

No, sir, there's nothing ...

until the boy should come.

It is the promise that I keep.

What is that expression so sad?

- If I'm sad it's because of you. - What?

That appointment was canceled.

Do not worry about her, the boss told him.

- Stop joking, will you? - No. I'm serious.

You have to leave in the morning with a loading of heavy machinery.

Tonight they will tell you, because you have to go.

And why me?

Because I have to go to a conference in the headquarters and you know how long they last.

Bad luck, Sam.

- Why have not you stopped, Major? - What do you want, that we lose the war?

He has an important mission.

You dirty...

- Hello. - Good Morning.

Boys, there are attractions out there for the really incredible tourists.

And it's not bad attraction either your friend the oldest

I'm really sorry, captain. But I gave something to the elder for you.

- He told me he had lost the other one. - The other?

Bye. We'll be back tonight.

A great girl, Sam. Good. We already have the complete game.

The meeting last night was very interesting.

Especially knowing that the service It was your idea.

What? Ah yeah sure. Sometimes ideas come to mind.

Although it costs me a terrible effort.

You are in great condition to fly, huh?

I do not plan to carry the controls. I will grant that honor to you.

Wake me up when we fly on the Japanese basis.

An ideal country The jungle below, and the snow above.

And the situation will take time to improve. Look how we carry the wings.

The situation is great in my opinion.

As soon as one begins to feel Sure, it's boring, discontent arises

and complains about everything.

Well, I'm one of those fools who prefer to be safe

- And that why, Sam? - Why, why?

Because I have my projects for after the war.

- Fly? - Indeed, fly.

Not in this class of flights, of course.

- Commercial, right? - Yes. Serious and commercial.

Everything well ordered, huh?

Accuracy in the schedule, friendliness with passengers,

and go up to to become the boss.

What's wrong with that?

Imagine that your time is coming and everything stays in nothing.

- I never think about that. - I supposed.

I like to fly. I would not know how to live otherwise.

And besides, I'm afraid that I'm not immortal.

The best thing to do is get the most out of each day

and accept that the when it arrives

- What's up, Ralph? - That Japanese base to which he referred,

- Scott says we fly over it. - All right.

- Are we on the same frequency? - Yes sir.

Get me the mic.

- What happens? What are you going to do? - How can we not bomb them,

unless they know that we are still alive

Do not tremble, boy.

Blue moon, you see me here, alone, without a dream in my heart,

without a love for me. Blue Moon...

Sorry to interrupt your concert, but I must give you a news.

This device carries more weight who can bear.

Well, let's go down and clean it. Blue Moon...

Cool. But what would you think if we let's go against those mountains over there?

We are losing height. Increasingly.

- Will we have to jump by parachute? - You should never rush, Ralph.

Do one thing, Ralph. Call Chabua.

- It is understood? - Yes sir.

Tell them that we are in difficulties and that we have to leave the plane.

- So let's jump? - Exactly.

When you finish talking, destroy Radio. All important material

Throw at once. I will follow you when Ralph made the call.

Jump! Jump!

Come on, fast! Let's go!

- Come on, Ralph! You are next - Just a moment. I have a problem.

- Leave it alone. Skip you once. - Come on, quick!

- I told you to jump. - Bundy, Bundy! Let's go!

I am in charge and it is an order. Jump!

Welcome, guys. Welcome.

You can not imagine the joy having been located.

- We are as happy as you. - We can not be.

- Bundy and Savage ... - What is going on with them?

Sam ... It's ours. Our.

Colonel, we left that plane ready of crashing. What happened?

It was probably the flight more risky than I know.

The elder did not want to resign himself to abandon the device as others do.

And a plane means a lot to us in these moments.

We will transfer you to the base of Greenland. He deserves it.

Well, what do you think? A hero.

I do not even want to think I could Prepare everything intentionally.

What a good appearance have my crew!

- You're good? - I'm fine.

I'm glad. I'll go see you at the hospital.

What's up, Sam?

Good old Sam.

I had no choice but to arrive with the plane. The cargo was valuable.

Just a moment...

There goes, Sam. Jane also welcomes you.

Sorry I'm late, Mr. McBane.

Do not worry. Does not have importance. I was going to leave now.

It's pretty, right? You will know her, I suppose.

With all my love, Lisa. No, I can not say that I know her.

It's his girlfriend, Lisa Bond. A rich heiress from Pasadena.

One of the best families of Southern California.

What I do not understand is how He fell in love with him.

According to what I have been told, he has not wanted nor see the morning papers.

I would like to help you as much as possible, I feel such horrible grief.

Where did he say he lives? In Pasadena? Do you have your address?

Do not tell me what you think going to see her in such a delicate moment.

A poor woman like that.

- Hello dear. - Hello lisa.

- You are charming. How about Europe? - Fantastic.

Tom and Sarah asked about you. Stay and have a drink.

A man waiting for me at the bar.

I'm really sorry. You already know what social life is.

He understands, right? Everything was prepared and could not be suspended.

I could not do it, despite my inner state.

- And how do you feel, Miss Bond? - Very bad. I'm desolated.

- Keep talking. - In agreement.

I was referring to a man called Mickey, who was very good friend

of his ... deceased fiancee, And I thought that...

- Hello Sarah. Tom. - Hello lisa.

Could we go somewhere else where could we go talk quietly?

Mickey? Well, I do not remember No one with that name.

Although I did not know almost No friend of Jack.

It's not really that it lasted much our courtship.

- I do not know how he could start. - Do not? In a ladies' dresser.

In San Francisco. In the airport. In a plane change.

I do not know what happened, but when I went When the door went out, the door jammed.

I stayed locked up and started to cry for help.

And do you know what happened next? That convinced me and I stayed.

And convinced a partner that he will fly for him and he will stay too.

Jack was a very convincing man.

Lisa, if you're not going to dance with your friend, You could leave it to me, do not you think?

- I was going to propose it myself. - I do not have time.

And I do not think it's time suitable to bring to your memory

memories that can sadden her. At some other party, maybe.

Excuse me.

Are you a pretty man sullen, right?

He wants us to talk to each other, but You see that it is very difficult here.

Dancing was easier. And I would have I could dissipate that bad impression.

It may have been too rough.

Sorry.

After that episode in San Francisco, I organized a party in Santa Barbara.

I wanted everyone to know him my friends.

And the feeling of that party was going to be the announcement of our commitment.

Do you know what he did? It disappeared during all day, and at dinner time

we found it in the kitchen with boots high and cleaning a fish basket.

It must have been a surprise for everyone.

Believe me, it had never been better received a disaster.

And so I could break the commitment before announcing it.

- Do you have a phone over here? - Yes, right there.

It must not have hurt much, I mean the pumpkins.

A friend of mine saw him go out accompanied of a Hollywood nightclub

less than a week later. The girl I was with was Chinese.

A dancer, I suppose. Or something like that.

- Lisa, do you want us to dance? - It will be a pleasure.

One last question, Miss Bond. What did you think of Jack Savage?

Not as a boyfriend. As a man.

Talk McBane. With my office.

If you were called to testify about his character, what would he say?

- Under oath? - Yes, under oath.

Wait a minute, Peg.

In that case I would have to say that he was the least trustworthy man,

more irresponsible and more womanizer that I have known in my life.

Let's dance, Robbie, go.

- Peg? - How's it going?

I think we are lost. They already know everything about Jack except about Mickey.

Not yet. At least they have not said it.

I have to inform you about something that I have investigated.

- Have you heard of a Chinese? - Yes, among your many friends.

It did not last longer than the others, so You can forget her too.

- I have another news for you. - What is it about?

Just arrived Jack's insurance report.

I've been designing for a week a new beneficiary.

Sally Fraser 26 years. Single. Do you want the address?

- Thanks, I take note, Peg. - Have fun.

It's a good thing I called. We were about to leave.

I will not be long.

The gentleman is here, Ms. Fraser.

Thank you.

Nice to meet you, Mr. McBane.

Thank you for receiving me.

Ms. Fraser.

You miss the last name, right? It happens often.

It is because a family English adopted me.

I was an orphan from war in China, where you were also then.

- How do you know that? - Jack told me.

That's why I remembered his name right away.

He really appreciated him. He said you're worth a lot.

I'm glad I lived those times of refugee.

If not, I would not have met the Frasers.

And without the Frasers I would not have this job.

And if I do not have my job, now ...

Are here. Come see this.

Xiphophorus maculatus. In case you did not know.

Pretty much smaller that his name.

You can call it moonfish, If you prefer.

It is a somewhat crazy fish.

When I bring him back with his neighbors, will hide a few hours.

As I have been doing.

Tomorrow, however, it is necessary Go to your apartment.

To collect the aquarium.

I've guessed it because I saw it there.

If they had seen us when we take it ...

Yes, the owner already told me.

- No detail was lost. - Already.

I was always lurking behind from the window like a sentinel.

It took hours to place it. But it was funny.

He pretended that he was very interested.

I did it to please myself.

Although things did not start like this.

But in a very different way. It was in Santa Bárbara,

with its beautiful hills. So beautiful and soft.

An ideal place to give a horseback ride at sunset.

I was passing an end to week in a ranch in the vicinity.

- Do not! - What?

- Return it to the water. - She's crazy? It is a wonder.

- Because. Leave it - But have you seen the size it has?

How can you do such a thing?

I would have to throw it at you water instead of him.

Do it if you dare.

The fish are to admire them and to study them.

- What? - They are the most beautiful creatures.

Do not tell me.

- Who are you? - First an oceanographer.

- And in second place? - An ichthyologist.

It was foolish to ask, true?

And all that in a wrap so tiny? Nobody will believe it.

They never believe me.

Anyway, I beg that you forgive for what happened. Sorry.

Wait a moment. What do you mean, I'm sorry?

Do you think it can appear, spoil it all, say sorry and leave?

It will not come out of this so easily.

What do you want me to do?

Well, first of all, you can continue telling me things about you

See how many of them I am capable of believing.

And naturally, at the moment, He was already talking about him.

Of his girlfriend, of her friends, that awaited the news that

they were going to communicate after dinner.

No no. Leave it Nothing rushed.

What we have to do is look the longest way back

I do not get it. Do you want to get there late to give that news?

What I want is that it does not happen.

What kind of man are you?

Another fish that rejects the hook.

You approve of that, do not you?

If he was not willing to get married, Why did not he tell her?

Because he did not give me time to say nothing.

I found out that he was promised when I read it in the newspapers.

But I'm going to fix it my way.

I have been preparing this plan of flight for a long time.

- I think that's cruel. - No, cruel, no.

It is raw.

As soon as they see me in the kitchen cleaning the fish, goodbye courtship.

Your friends will celebrate that she have regained common sense

and everyone will congratulate her for it.

Do not worry.

It does not matter to her.

Let's go.

He wanted to be able to tell things well.

I wanted to be sure not to hurt her.

That was the Jack that I knew.

Too bad it was not the one that I knew.

Because the Jack I met it's what I have to defend tomorrow

before a meeting because of a friend his drunkard named Mickey.

- Mickey? - Do you know him?

No. I do not remember mentioning never that name.

And now, also, because of leaving him how much I owned you

A woman he met less than a month ago

Yes, I got a surprise too when the insurance told me.

He told them that I would hire That money in my jobs.

And so it will be, Mr. McBane. In case you It interests you or those who accuse you.

It's just what I said. After everything, I also distrust you.

Do you distrust? Why?

For bothering to look for so much data using so much time and effort

and not knowing yet what caused the accident.

- I suppose you do. - Of course. Destiny.

I think it was time that someone said that.

- Do you think so too? - Nothing more like a shelter.

Because I only work with statistics and realities.

- It's just as Jack described it. - Oh yeah?

It said that you were one of the most perfect machines I knew.

That never got spoiled.

That handled data and figures and always gave concrete solutions.

Although sometimes they were false.

Maybe he was not convinced, but they were realities, not mysticism.

The word mysticism It is not so bad.

For some it's almost the same to religion.

The same as for others, destiny it should be called God.

Anyway, everything implies a faith.

The acceptance of a divine design.

53 people died in the accident.

- If that is called divine design ... - As I said, you have to have faith.

Very well. Use that instead of logic I'm sorry, but I can not.

Well, as soon as I can, many things will fit in your site.

And he will recognize that destiny may has been guiding

In each one of the steps you have taken.

I admit that in that sense I'm older than you.

Even if you were born yesterday, Could be it.

During these last hours, there have been moments

in which I have felt that this design superior, whatever it is

continues on its way towards a certain objective.

A revelation

I told you the same thing this morning to Ralph Bundy,

- Although I doubt he believed me. - Just a moment.

- Did Bundy say? Ralph Bundy? - You will remember him.

Jack told me they were together in the war.

- He was our radio operator. - Yes, he and Jack were very good friends.

Do you know where I could see him? Maybe he knows Mickey.

- Do you want me to accompany you? - I would like very much.

The design continues to be fulfilled. Live on my way home

In agreement.

I am coming right away.

I have brought you an old comrade.

- Hi, Ralph. - But he's the captain.

Excuse me, I'll have to call him older, right?

At first, my name was Sam. Let's leave it like that.

Well, come here and sit down. Take a cup of coffee.

- I'll bring you a chair. - I'm not well.

- I see you have a good business. - I can not complain.

I think I've had some luck.

What I feel is that it's one thing like the one that happened to Jack

- what made him come. - I'm also sorry, but ...

It's curious, but since it has happened

I do not look around once, nor to my family or to me without repeating that

that if it were not for him, now I will not be here.

Because of him, he says? Why Savage?

Yes, you lived that. Do you remember that he jumped off the plane?

Of course, especially because he He managed to land with that device.

It is not easy to forget it.

You reproached her for boasting because he never knew the truth.

What happened?

I am referring to what happened on the plane

after Jack told him that do not wait for me

and give him order that it was launched.

I remember how scared I was. That was the cause of everything.

I had made the call to Chabua and I prepared to jump.

Well Ralph, the time has come. Let's go there.

- I can not. - How is it? Are you crazy?

I do not dare to throw myself.

Do not worry. I'm going behind but we have to get off the plane.

- I can not! - We need to jump!

- I can not! I can not! - Come on, master!

Leave me! Do not come near me. Do not come near.

You're going to crash with the plane. Lets go down.

I will not jump! I will not jump! I will not jump! I will not jump!

We will not jump It will be done as you want. Do not care anymore.

If the autopilot continues flying, us too.

It has already happened. Come on boy. Calm down.

Sit there, Ralph. Come on, sit down.

Fasten your seatbelt. You are going to help me carry this.

Hold on, huh?

I think there are possibilities. First of all we go down.

And down there will be less ice. Without so much ice the weight will be reduced

and then this damn airplane will continue flying.

But those mountains ...

I suppose there will be some I go somewhere, right?

It is my fault. I was afraid I lacked courage. I deserved to crash.

Wow, what do you think of that?

Look, Ralph! We can go through there.

Go lucky, boy.

Do you know something? I was more scared than you.

And that's not right, because after all, I am the boss.

If the hour reaches you, Why fight against it?

And if not, why worry?

When we land, we will be heroes.

Maybe they give us a medal.

As long as we do not count what It actually happened, right?

- What do you say to that? - For my sake, sir.

Done deal.

Blue moon, I'm not alone anymore, with a dream in my heart

with my own love

No. I was not fooled by an instant.

Everything he did It was only for me.

I owe everything to him. I would have finished for telling the truth, but ...

Of course, they moved us to Greenland ...

It can be said that since then we do not separate.

He always came to see me. I was never too busy for it.

Whenever I needed him, he showed up here

And the same with all the companions who had been with him.

Matt Grand, Mickey Doolan, Dave Scott ...

Just a moment. Wait. Did you say Mickey?

Yes, Mickey Doolan. You can not remember of the. He was in Greenland.

- It was the copilot. - You have not read the newspapers?

No, I did not want to read a single word about that.

So you do not know what they're doing looking for a man named Mickey?

Probably he either You will have read nothing.

It is said that this man was going with Jack last night from bar to bar.

Where do you live?

And who knows? It goes from one place to another.

- Where will a guy like him live? - I mean, where do you usually go?

Well, it's the same. I have no idea, Sam. Sorry.

They should have smashed it to pieces and the smaller the better,

instead of rebuilding it.

- Are you Mickey Doolan? - Yes, I am.

I was waiting for you. I had the feeling that he wanted to see me.

Although you and I already We saw once.

- I went to ask for work. - I feel like it could not be.

Do not feel it. Probably He did well not to admit me.

I say probably.

- It was not his fault. - That will have to be proved.

If he did it, it's a sign of that left something behind

What do you mean?

I do not know it myself.

I remember something that said on a certain occasion

In Greenland.

It is an ideal place to chat. Have you been there? Have you seen it flying?

At an altitude of 1,500 meters?

Then a thousand, 700, 300 ...

as if it were a lost one, as if the field was not found,

stuck in the clouds, trying Go down enough to see something.

We did not know how high we were going until we could see something.

That worried our boss.

- Give me fire, Ralph. - Yes sir.

There are things that I never I'll get used to it

Yes, like to fall into the sea. I think we have gone down to the maximum.

You may be right, Mickey.

Thank you, now leave me.

Ralph, sit down and abrochate the belt.

Out number four. In flag.

Four in flag.

- The field is behind that fjord. - You want to tell me how you know?

Because we have almost no gas left.

I get it.

Out number one. In flag.

It is done.

The field has to be there, because If not, there would not be time to look for it.

- Yeah, of course. - Seriously. It would be our end.

And the time has not yet arrived.

Unclear.

I know we have not got the time because it would be wasting life.

I would leave nothing behind me, and you, probably, either.

You understand me?

Yeah sure. I understand you.

Is that?

And there it was. And refering to his philosophical ramblings ...

The truth is that I did not arrive to understand nothing.

But I have not forgotten it.

Maybe this time leave something behind.

Something left that he should never have left. The tour of the bars with you.

The route, yes. But what did he drink?

They should have drugged before.

- I know he ordered a drink. - He asked for dozens, but for me.

It's not like you liked it get drunk Unlike.

He spent five years trying to become a teetotaler.

Until I convinced him that he was losing his time and mine too.

Since then He did not insist again.

He said that it offended his sensitivity the one that I liked the rough whiskey

and the cheap wine.

No, not that. Until I know him better.

No, this is for make it presentable.

I want tomorrow to attend to the civil aviation board.

- To need me? - To tell you what he told me.

By Jack I am able to fall on that board as a B-25.

And besides, I'll go dry, like a well wrung sponge.

I mean, I'll try to do it with all my strength.

Ladies and gentlemen, you are going to witness the first meeting of the board of

civil aviation that investigates the case of the recent and painful accident.

They are present, together with the authorities of said board,

the representatives of the company aerial owner of the apparatus

like a large audience that feels a special interest in the tragedy.

Including relatives of the victims accompanied by their lawyers

among which is the famous lawyer Charles Dillon.

And now, back to the session.

Mr. McBane, do you have kindness to go to the stand?

I understand that you have made some investigations on your own

apart from those made for this meeting.

Let me tell you that mine have been a process of elimination.

As you know, at first we spoke of sabotage, but then discarding it

There were only two possibilities left.

What are human failures or mechanical failure.

But when ruling out mechanical failure only the human failure remained.

And a scapegoat was chosen, the pilot named Jack Savage.

Regarding the accusations made against him to break the rules

of flaws in his character,

I ... I can assure you who will testify under oath

that such accusations are completely false.

Can I ask that Mr. Sr himself? McBane will testify under oath

that their witnesses are impartial and has not influenced them?

Mr. Dillon, You must not interrupt.

My witnesses are partial, very partial, Mr. Dillon.

As would anyone who I would have known Jack Savage well.

And they would be the first to testify

that he was not a capable man to play with the lives of others.

Jack Savage was a man with a big heart

Always willing to help.

Never to do any harm.

In many ways it was the man that I would have liked to be.

If you have finished the compliments, we should return to the question.

It seems you are the one who presides this preliminary meeting.

I beg you to forgive me, but I have been accompanied by people

who have lost loved ones in the tragedy that concerns us.

And who want to know the facts. Only the facts.

Mr. McBane has shown his great ability to establish

a process of elimination.

And I must say, for your satisfaction,

that has eliminated until the last possible explanation of the accident.

I guess, therefore, He has nothing more to say to us.

I have something more to offer them.

Because you will see, Mr. Dillon, I am also interested in the facts.

I have always refused to accept everything that was not a proven fact.

But in this case, it has been combined such a profusion of elements that

we can not keep ignoring them for more time

Those bird feathers, that breakwater that I should not be there anymore,

the three planes that got in the way on your route flying late.

Excuse me, but no I succeed to understand you.

What I want ... what I'm trying to say is that for some inscrutable reason

all those elements seem have met

to cause the ... the accident.

And I ask, once discarded all natural explanations,

What do we have left but the supernatural?

And what word to use?

Destiny.

Do you want to tell us that the accident Was it due only to bad luck?

If you prefer to use that expression, yes.

- Just bad luck, just? - I would not use the word simply.

Because simple, of course, it was not.

As for if it's been bad luck, who knows?

Not bad? He says.

Do you think it can be good luck that 53 human lives be lost?

I am not God. I can not know if that It has been good or bad. And neither are you.

Right, but I suppose will have a theory about that.

Yes. I have a theory

Is that each of the victims of that accident, for a reason

or another time had come that his life would end.

Do you intend to tell us that your company he performed a pious service

by collaborating in that mass execution and that she should be praised and not accused?

- Mr. President, I ask for the floor. - Mr. McBane, do not you know that if

we give the least credit to that Explanation

any mistake made by any Irresponsible or incompetent pilot

Could it be attributed to bad luck?

Of course he knows. This is not more that the desperate attempt

to hide the error of a pilot.

Silence, Mr. Dillon!

I am willing to proceed against the company with that base of accusation.

Can I take the floor?

Mr. Hutchins has the floor.

Let the record show that the testimony Mr. McBane is a personal opinion.

And that does not represent the Consolidated airline.

This will be confirmed.

And I request that this session be postponed until within a week.

In order to prepare this case with greater property.

Under the circumstances, nothing is would win if we continue here together.

Request accepted.

- Could you make some statements? - Will you talk to television?

I have nothing else to say!

Everything I told him was true. Please, believe me.

I'm not going to ask you why because I already know that.

You believe in it or you would not have said it.

But the consequences are beginning. Watch this. Cancellations of tickets.

What I want to tell you ...

- Say? - Martha Webster on the phone, sir.

Stewardess. From the hospital Do you want to talk to her?

- Say? - Mr. McBane?

Maybe it seems silly, but I'm according to what he has said.

Word by word.

Thanks, Martha. I appreciate it a lot.

Then I'll call her again.

I have to tell you, Sam, they called me of the board of directors.

You can answer him now. Tomorrow for In the morning they will have my resignation.

I'm afraid they are something more impatient.

They can wait at least Until the night.

For what purpose? What can you get in a few hours?

The shorter the time, greater is peace.

I think we've already heard enough nonsense, right?

What the hell do you want to do that Have not you done it yet? What do you have left?

What do I have left? I want to repeat the Jack's flight personally.

From beginning to end. Everything he did.

- You may find out what happened. - You've gone mad?

- What do I have left? You said it. - Just a moment. Follow, Sam.

Listen to me We will double everything. Down to the last detail

The exact conditions, time Exactly, the exact place,

an exact copy of everything. I need full cooperation.

Not only on land, but also on board the plane.

I will need someone who remembers the exact continuity of the facts.

Follow, Mr. McBane.

Everything that happened since the takeoff until the moment of the accident.

Everything that happened in the Consolidated flight 22.

For this you will have to carry someone who has been on that flight.

Indeed.

I know what I'm asking, but I'm asking because ...

you are the only survivor. I can not turn to anyone else.

Have, Miss Webster, washed and ironed. Like new

I can not ... I can not do it. I'm ashamed of it.

If someone should be ashamed, It's me.

Put a sack on each seat less in one. He will tell you which.

Who will have happened send sandbags by plane?

And in first class seats.

Flight 22 carried in luggage a total weight of 925 Kg.

Put the same weight in sand in that compartment.

What do you say, Al? Are you going to go co-pilot or not?

- It's not funny, huh? - Would I do it to you?

Repeat all incidents on a flight that ended in disaster?

His idea of ​​destiny It has to think.

It seems that he is asking to the destination that acts again.

Everything could be repeated.

I could also have run you over a truck coming here.

Well, what do you decide? Yes or no?

Hello Sam.

- Mr. Stillman. - How are you, Al?

Sam, weight 77 Kg. I just checked.

- What mechanic have you chosen? - None yet.

I can recommend one. I. I also have interest in this.

If it is attributed to technical failure I have to refute it So I must go.

Very well. What is your weight?

Everything is ready. Until the last cup, dish, covered and bottle.

- I leave the note of the food. - Thank you.

Although, the truth is that without Little steward serves.

- There must be duplicity of everything. - We are only ten seconds away.

Close, Ben.

- Check. - Wait!

Wait! Put the ladder. I'm going up.

Put it again. I have to get on board. Quickly.

Wait, Ben. Wait!

Excuse me, I've made you lose some seconds

We will recover them.

First...

- This is what I did first. - Let us begin.

Transmission lever, down and correct.

Parking brake, position.

- Flight instruments? - Right.

Wind 280 degrees to 7. Which is very strange

Exactly like the other night. Change.

According. Thank you.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. On behalf of Commander Savage ...

and from the crew I give them the welcome aboard this plane.

Flight duration to Seattle It will be two hours and ten minutes,

at an altitude of 10,000 meters.

Consolidated 24, can take off.

Consolidated 24, according to

Sorry, I do not know if you want it so in detail, Mr. McBane, but

- At this moment I brought him a coffee. - Yes, repeat everything.

I gave it to him, but since he was busy with the checks

I remember that he left him just here on top

We were joking about D'Arcy for the coffee and after you ...

I want to say Jack told me that I Sit and fasten the belt.

He is doing very well.

Outside the lights.

80 knots

- Hi, Ralph. - Mickey!

Well, pick up the landing gear.

24 in radar contact. We put the tape of Savage.

We will guide you through it, second to second. In agreement?

Consolidated 24, according.

You are two miles to the west. Right in the same position.

Approximately now burned the right reactor.

Yeah true! It was now.

Cut the right reactor. No, without stabilizing.

No. Stabilize me.

You close contacts and put the extinguisher.

Our right reactor has been burned down Light and alarm signal.

- This was the moment. - Stop it, stop it.

At this moment I went to the cabin of passengers.

Wait a second, Martha. Come on. Tell me, was everything like now?

Exactly like now?

Everything, except that light and the alarm signal worked.

So in effect it burned a reactor.

We continue, Sam. We told him to get off at a thousand meters.

That kept the course 350.

- We're making it. - All right. Pay attention.

After a moment his radio stopped.

We will let you know, and you will tell us why it is.

Ready.

Consolidated 22. We can now give way.

Pay attention. Follow route 2090. Stay at a thousand meters.

Now. It had to be now.

They tell me here that they did not come back to hear it until after a few seconds.

- Has something happened? - Nothing.

Well, it must have happened now.

It was at this time when I came back of the passenger cabin. Insurance.

- Then I opened the door and ... - What was going on here?

The alarm signal was ringing. Murray tried to put out the fire.

Jack told me to prepare the passengers for landing.

Speak 24, what happens?

- Nothing. Nothing at all. - I saw it. I'm sure.

Tell him to come back with the plane.

All this for nothing.

I'm sorry, Sam. They just ordered me that makes you return.

Descend to ...

Radar control, follow.

- Radar control, flame 24. Change. - The radio does not work.

It is done! The left reactor. Cut it off, extinguisher.

I already told you! I told them that that had happened!

- Talk, 24 - Crash landing! Belts!

It is not precise. There is no danger. The right reactor is fine.

We managed to turn it off. Put it in motion. On going!

- I do not get it! - Afondo! Come on, thoroughly!

It seems that he is about to land.

- I'll have it again. - Call the tower. That clear clues.

- Let's go there. - Yes

Thank you. Turn on the lights. We are going to land.

Forced landing of flight 24 of Consolidated. 8 Kms.

To the track 24. They will land right away. Without radio

- Track 24? - Exactly.

Remove that lid from there, Ben.

Come on, take it off right away.

- Running the left reactor. - It's broken.

That reactor is so good like the day it was built.

Take the controls.

See that coffee? He slipped by the slits and shorted

with the radio and the alarm system. The left reactor was fine.

But Jack thought not.

Same as me now.

Except that he did not have the resource of going back to the right reactor.

I have it. Reactor left in gear.

Yes, Sam.

Lower the landing gear.

Outside contacts.

You will explain what happened, Hey, Ben?

I'll do it with pleasure.

See you later, Sam.

It was not you who made the slits. You only brought coffee to Jack.

What will you do with that now? With the slits.

We will communicate to the civil aviation board.

Who will inform all the companies.

And will warn the aircraft factories to correct that defect.

And that's it.

- So that it does not happen again, right? - Yes. So that it does not happen again.

I was thinking... That this was what Jack wanted.

He told a friend that ...

he could not leave without leaving something behind him

- Great job, Sam! - Guess what the coffee was ...

When they know in the council of administration...

- Wait till tomorrow, huh? - But early. There is a lot to talk about.

Martha, come on. I want to introduce you to some friends.
