(dramatic music)

(kid) "Once upon a time,

in a far off land,

there was an enchanted forest."

(birds chirping)

"This forest was a special place,

full of magic and wonder.

Deep in the heart of the forest,

lived a beautiful princess.

(muffled scream)

Nothing could harm the princess in the enchanted forest."

(dramatic music rising)

(sombre music)

(indistinct TV chatter)

(sombre music continues)

(keyboard clicks)

(vlogger over computer) Are you ready to get your minds blown?

'Cause 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's deployed to Afghanistan as part of ISAF.

I-S-A-F.

The International Security Assistance Force.

But here is the bombshell.

(notification beeps)

(vlogger) "Felix Vatubua.

Certificate of Service".

Check out what it says...

-Or doesn't say... -(paper rustles)

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... -(door knocks)

...Felix Vatubua.

(keyboard clicks)

Piss off, Zoe.

It's me.

If she's 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 of the earth...

(raises voice) It didn't disappear.

(Pete sighs)

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.

(stammers) Okay, there... there is no...

other story.

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...

(slams on table)

(solemn music)

(phone rings)

(voicemail) This is Erin. If it's worth it, leave a message.

(phone beeps)

(Lori sighs) Where are you?

(background chatter)

(sighs)

(PA system chimes)

(flight crew over PA) Skyline Pacific Flight 281

will shortly be ready for boarding.

-Shit. -(phone rings)

(voicemail) This is Erin. If it's worth it, leave a message.

(phone beeps)

The plane's about to leave. Where the hell are you?

I can't believe you are pulling this bullshit.

(sighs)

(phone thuds)

(suspenseful music)

(clears throat)

Thanks to you all for joining us.

I know it's not easy to find a mutually convenient time zone.

We're 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 Yasawas,

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 ten.

It's fair.

(solicitor) 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.

Ker-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?

(scoffs) It's not about the money.

(soft chuckle)

You're not paying the lawyers.

A plane carrying 14 human beings vanishes into vapour.

It just happens to have no blackbox.

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?

(mutters) For crying out loud, Erin.

I apologise.

(dramatic music)

(Erin sighs)

Pete.

Is that unanimous?

Uh...

Can we have five minutes?

Of course.

Flight 281 is now ready for boarding.

(flight crew over speakers) Please have your passport

-and boarding passes ready. -(PA system chimes)

-(flight crew) Thank you. -(passenger) Hello.

(speaking Fijian)

(machine beeps)

-Thank you, ma'am. -Thank you.

-(machine beeps) -Thank you, sir.

(machine beeps)

Charming.

(chuckles)

Hi, ma'am.

(machine beeps)

(speaking Fijian)

Passport and boarding pass, please.

Sorry.

-Nervous flyer? -(machine beeps)

Uh, my sister was supposed to be here,

but I think she's overslept.

Oh.

Actually, would you mind if I try her one more time?

-Yes, of course. -Thank you.

(sighs)

(phone rings)

(voicemail) This is Erin. If it's worth it, leave a message.

(phone beeps)

I can't believe you didn't have the balls to show your face.

Coward.

How have you made this about you?

(sighs)

(indistinct chatter)

(flight crew) Oh, this is our pilot.

-Morning, madam. -Morning.

(flight crew) Everything seems to be in order.

Let's do this.

(machine beeps)

(speaking Fijian)

(mutters) Thank you.

(sighs)

(Mrs Gordon) Are you okay?

(Erin sighs)

I know everyone thinks I'm crazy.

(Mrs Gordon) I don't.

(Mr Gordon) No, neither of us do.

We want to believe you more than anything.

It's just your theories don't go anywhere.

I don't have the answers.

I just, I know that plane is out there.

My sister's alive.

I can feel it.

It's a lot of money to turn down for a feeling.

Yeah, but if we take the money, we're saying that they're dead.

And if we give them up, so does everybody else.

Exactly what I've been saying.

You had two relatives on that plane, didn't you?

(in shaky voice) Yes,

our daughter

and our grandson.

Fuck the money.

Sorry.

(chuckles)

Hi there.

It's just over there, fourth seat.

(passenger 1) Say hello to granny and granddad.

-Give them a wave, love you. -(baby babbles)

-Mwah, see you. -(baby babbles)

(indistinct chatter)

(suitcase thuds)

(sighs)

(deep breath)

(door closes)

You know, I can't...

Conning those poor people into believing your little fairy story.

-How do you sleep at night? -I don't.

You know, and not only have you cost them life changing money,

but, but a chance to, to move on.

Can I say something?

I cannot believe you signed, you fucking coward.

You know what...

I can't do this anymore, Erin.

-Do what, Peter? -You.

Us. This, this ridiculous arrangement.

It, it ends now.

Say it then.

You can't, can you?

And we both know why.

I refuse to bear the guilt of a freak aviation tragedy.

(Zoe) It's time for you to go.

If that helps move the conversation along.

And Bellatrix has entered the chat.

Isn't it time you got your own place?

You know, being a grown woman, and everything.

Yeah, or I could steal someone else's.

You're not well, Erin.

You've got no job.

You're... you're squatting at the bottom

of your ex brother-in-law's garden.

-Living off his money. -Hers, actually.

No, we're, we're not doing this,

okay?

Look, don't you want to get away from us?

Fuck yes!

It's just I've been a teensy, tiny bit preoccupied with trying

to find my missing sister.

But you know...

Cool, I'll put out some feelers.

Today.

(Erin) Where do you want me to go?

I'll pay for a short-term let.

Best hire a van too.

For all of Lori's stuff that you no longer want.

Oh, don't worry.

I gave all those boxes to the charity shop.

(Pete) Erin, wait.

Really?

(Erin) Yeah, that's them.

Several boxes of, um, clothes and, and stuff.

Well, the thing is my acquaintance donated them in error.

And I need them back.

(indistinct chatter on phone)

Well, what if I bought them?

Yeah, a sizeable donation.

Yeah, ready for the details when you are.

(keyboard clicks)

Her card's been used.

(dramatic music rises)

(Erin mutters) Lori's card.

(flight crew) Excuse me?

Did you make contact with your sister?

They're just pushing me to lock the cabin door.

But I can hold five minutes, or...

Don't worry. She's not coming.

Oh.

But, you know there's a flight to Limaji tomorrow, so...

I'll have more fun without her.

(indistinct chatter)

(pilot over radio) Our flight time today is

approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes.

It's looking like we've got a touch of weather coming in

-from the North East. -(baby cries)

So things could get a little bumpy along the way.

Please remain seated and keep your seat belts securely fastened.

-(crying) -(mumbles)

You're in the best possible hands with our flight crew, Kaali Halle.

-We'll be taking care of... -(baby wails)

All that remains is to thank you for choosing

to fly Skyline Pacific.

And for you to sit back and enjoy the ride.

(airplane speakers ding)

-Uh, excuse me, stewardess? -(Kaali) Yes?

Um, what are the chances of possibly getting a drink?

-I'm sure that can be arranged. -(man) Wonderful.

What selection of gins do you have?

I'd have to check, but just gin. More or less.

(sighs)

Uh, fine.

Double. Tonic, ice, twist of lime.

-Much obliged. -(Kaali) Of course.

(locker clicks)

(Kaali) Madam, seat belt please.

Excuse me. Uh, could, could we get some champagne, please?

(Kaali) Of course.

Celebrating?

Don't ask her that.

My ten game winning streak.

And our 40th wedding anniversary.

But um, mostly...

Ah, congratulations.

Are you travelling alone?

Yeah.

Lucky you.

(scoffs)

(Kaali over radio) Hello, and welcome aboard this flight.

From Nadi, Fiji to Limaji.

Before we take off, I'd like to run through a few important

safety procedures with you all.

-(airplane rumbling) -(tense music)

(exhales sharply)

-(baby cries) -(shushes, mumbles)

(tense music rising)

(panting)

(suspenseful music)

(keyboard clicking)

(phone rings)

-Hello. -(man over phone) Bula.

Bula. Uh, I'm wondering if you can help me with something.

(man speaking Fijian)

Uh, it's about a transaction that took place

in your store a couple of weeks ago.

I'm wondering if you've got security cameras.

(man speaking Fijian)

Does anyone there speak English?

It's important.

(computer beeps)

(Zoe) Oh, here she comes.

(door opens, closes)

Well, I've tried doing it the nice way.

Lori's alive.

What are you talking about?

She's alive and she's in Fiji.

She used her card in a shop there.

(Pete sighs)

You mean...

Her card was used by someone.

(stammers) It washed up on shore and...

I dunno, some kid chanced his arm or it's an old trans...

-It's 3 weeks old. -(Erin) Yeah, I might've known.

What?

Well, it wouldn't exactly be convenient

if she showed up alive now.

Oh, for fuck's sake.

(sighs)

Okay, so...

What do we do with this information?

(Erin) I'll make them listen.

I get a plane to Fiji.

What, you're gonna fly

to Fiji?

You had to get sedated to get on the plane back.

Panic attacks on the flight, remember?

I go to the shop and I...

-trace her steps... -(Pete sighs)

...and find my sister.

(laughs) I'm sorry. You just, you know,

-you sound like a crazy person. -Who asked you?

What are you gonna find that this exhaustive search has missed?

What does Erin know that no other relatives do?

Look, I understand your bond with Lori better than anyone

in this world.

(Pete) I know what you went through together.

But please,

for your own wellbeing,

you have to move on.

And that means forgiving yourself for not getting on that plane.

Pay for my flight and I move out.

Erin, no one survived.

D'you want me out of your life, Zoe?

-More than anything. -(Erin) Well then,

buy me a flight to Fiji and you never have to see me ever again.

(dramatic music continues)

(passenger 2) Me and my sister, we are always at it.

And when we argue, you better stand back.

Even now and she's nearly 80.

(chuckles)

Do you two fight a lot?

We're as close as anything but, well, we're very different.

There's a nine-year age gap.

My parents had me up north and Erin when we moved down south.

She even went to a posh school.

(chuckles)

You're sisters.

You're gonna find a way to make it up.

This was a bad one.

But, thank you. (chuckles)

(emotional music)

(breathes deeply)

(Erin) "Your Inner Goddess Unleashed".

"Learn to harness your innate feminine energy

to create positive change in your life".

Or I could gouge my eyes out.

Oh. (laughs)

How many of these have you read now?

Well, let's see. Uh...

"The Mindful Glow", "Pathway to Radiant Living",

-"The Divine Feminine". -Oh, which obviously worked.

As you can see. (chuckles)

Oh, gimme that vit D, you sexy bitch, you.

This is what we needed.

Is it?

He's taking his sweet time with our drinks.

Why don't we always do this?

I'm still waiting to find out why we're here now.

Why do I need a reason to spontaneously book

an all expenses holiday on the other side of the world?

Because you're you.

Touché.

D'you think I can just go get them myself?

Wait until we get to the island.

The tropical paradise, where the only sound

is the gentle waves lapping against the shore.

And you draining on about them.

(laughs)

Oh. Ooh.

One Fijian Sunset?

(Lori) Thank you.

-Thank you. -(waiter) And a beer.

Um, could you take a photo of us?

-No, you don't have to do that. -Please, thank you.

-(waiter) Yeah, no problem. -(laughs)

Come on.

(chuckles) Ready?

(both exclaim) Holme sisters!

(flight crew over radio) Cabin crew, positions for takeoff.

(airplane speaker dings)

(sighs, clicks lips)

(mutters) Where are you, Lori?

(airplane rumbles)

(phone vibrating)

(exhales)

(suspenseful music)

(sighs)

(sighs)

(upbeat music over headphones)

(Erin sighs)

(flight crew) Yes, Ma'am?

The wifi's not working.

(flight crew) Yes, I have to apologise, but it's down.

I just paid 18 pounds.

(flight crew) Well, you can claim it back with the airline.

Would you like something to drink?

-A soda or something? -(Erin) Uh-uh.

(flight crew) Okay.

(phone clicks)

(ominous music)

(indistinct chattering)

-(airplane rumbles) -(all exclaim)

Oh, come on.

(sighs)

-(airplane speaker dings) -(sighs)

(pilot) This is your captain, speaking.

I'm just getting us around this band of heavy weather.

(mutters) Yeah, cheers for that, mate.

(captain) We may experience a couple of bumps on the road.

(airplane speaker dings)

Hm.

(passenger 3 mutters)

(baby coos)

(chuckles) He's called Sonny.

Solid name. (chuckles)

(chuckles)

Longest I've gone without holding him.

Sorry.

(indistinct argument)

(sighs)

(exhales deeply)

(airplane rumbles intensely)

(door knocks)

(Kaali) Ma'am, please take your seat.

-(airplane continues to rumble) -(ominous music rising)

(pants)

The fuck?

(dings)

Ms Holme?

We'll work tirelessly with local authorities

and international partners to gather any information

as to the whereabouts of the aircraft.

We, at the British High Commission here in Suva,

offer our full support and assistance.

Counselling services, anything you need.

We did have just one question.

Weren't you supposed to be travelling with your sister?

Why weren't you on the plane,

Erin Holme?

In fact,

shouldn't it have been you instead?

-Miss? -(tense music rising)

Ms Holme.

Miss?

-(snorts) -(hazard lights click)

(cab driver) Miss?

Your hotel.

(solemn music)

(passerby) Hello.

(indistinct chatter)

(receptionist speaks Fijian)

(receptionist) Thank you.

Nice to have you again with us, Ms Holme.

Could I have the same room as before?

Um, Room 118.

(computer mouse clicks)

(keyboard clicking)

It's available.

(phone beeps)

(suspenseful music)

Welcome back, Ms Holme.

Thank you.

(thunder rumbles)

-(luggage thuds) -(all exclaim)

(airplane rumbles)

(airplane continues to rumble)

(Lori pants)

(Kaali) Ma'am, please sit down.

(pilot over radio) Ladies and gentlemen, I apologise

for the severe turbulence.

I kindly request that you remain seated

with your seat belts securely fastened.

I assure you that we are doing everything in our power

to minimise any further discomfort.

Once again, thank you for your patience.

And we apologise for any inconvenience caused.

-(airplane speaker dings) -(exhales)

(passenger 2) Are you okay, dear?

I'm telling you now, this resort better be worth it.

(chuckles)

Looks like your sister was the lucky one.

(panting)

(upbeat music)

(Erin) Hm.

(speaking Fijian)

What's so important?

Uh, the internet.

Thought we could have a chat, you know, as we're on holiday.

I'm not stopping you.

(sighs)

(sniffles)

Pete's having an affair.

What?

I'm sorry, that's the first time I've ever said it out loud.

(sniffles, exhales)

(Erin) But, how, when did you...

(stammers) How...

Pete? Who with?

(sighs)

I don't know.

Well then, how can you be certain?

Trust me. I'm pretty damn certain.

And that's why we're here?

Oh Lori, I'm sorry.

What an absolute piece of shit, fuckhead.

Fuckhead, twat.

I'm... I'm gonna tear his doughy face off.

No, he doesn't know.

(scoffs) What do you mean?

I couldn't face the confrontation.

(sniffles)

Just got my sister and ran.

I'm sorry to just drop it on you like this, but...

Things are gonna be changing.

Well, maybe they don't have to. If you haven't spoken to him.

You know, maybe it's salvageable.

(breathes deeply)

What am I looking at?

A positive pregnancy test.

Not mine. Hers.

The other woman.

(Lori sniffles)

Found it in our car.

Bitch must've left it there deliberately.

I mean, this has obviously been going on for months

and Pete's not had the balls to tell me.

He got her pregnant?

Yeah, like I said, things are gonna change.

We need to start thinking about moving out.

No.

Look, darling, I know this is upsetting but...

Well, we still have each other, just like always.

Lori, why are you in this position?

Me?

20 years you've been together.

And you haven't had any kids. Who does that?

You know I want children.

What did you actually do about it?

Well, it's always been on Pete's terms.

After we're financially secure.

Once the business is up and running.

And after this project is out of the way.

But you never push him because you're weak.

And that's your problem.

You're a fucking pushover and...

now look.

How fucking dare you?

(tense music)

What's going on here?

What do you mean?

(cries) Oh God, no.

What?

Oh God. (cries)

(Kaali) Everything's fine.

Please keep your seat belts fastened.

Any chance of another gin and tonic?

(all laugh)

(chuckles)

-(airplane rumbles) -(all gasp)

(ominous music)

(all groaning)

-(pants) -(loud thudding)

(passenger 2 cries)

(cries)

(passengers clamouring)

(airplane engine rumbles)

(grunts, gasps)

(panting)

(gasps)

(pilot over radio) Ladies and gentlemen,

apologies for the sudden descent.

It was a necessary manoeuvre to avoid the thunderstorm,

which is a little nasty than we first thought.

From now on, we'll proceed at this lower altitude.

I ask that you remain seated and keep your seat belts fastened.

(in shaky voice) Yeah, no shit.

(sighs)

Oh my God.

(sombre music)

(energetic music)

(speaking Fijian)

(motorcycle engine starts)

(Lori panting)

Oh...

Come on, diazepam, don't fail me now.

Not after all we've been through.

(thunder rumbles)

(all gasp)

Anyone else see that?

There's smoke.

(passenger 3 in shaky voice) I can see smoke.

Something's on fire!

-I'm telling the pilot. -(seat belt clicks)

(all scream)

Sit down.

How can you just sit there?

I can smell burning!

-(thunder rumbles) -(all gasp)

Is that, is that what I think it is?

-(explosion) -(all scream)

Fuck!

(passengers scream)

(panting)

Pete...

Oh God, I can't believe I'm saying this.

This plane is going down!

Nosedive straight into the ocean. My fucking God.

I need you to do something for me.

Swear to me, Pete, if you and me were ever worth shit,

you keep Erin close.

Do you hear me? You keep her close.

Look after her.

Swear to me, Pete!

Oh, my God.

(all screaming)

-(pants) -(dramatic music)

(loud bang)

(wind gushing)

(panting)

(Sonny cries)

(indistinct announcement)

(loud rumbling)

(loud spark)

(passengers shriek)

(all scream, cry)

(panting)

(inaudible)

(Lori) Go on, then. Run away.

Poor needy little Erin.

Just go fuck yourself!

(mellow music)

(man speaking Fijian)

(speaking Fijian)

Bula. Um...

Oh...

(speaking Fijian)

Um...

(speaking Fijian)

Oh, you speak English?

Better than your Fijian.

Yeah, well I called and spoke to someone,

and they didn't understand me.

Ah, that'd be the old man. What you after?

Please tell me that works.

It better.

I stole it myself.

(wind gushing rapidly)

(loud rumble)

(Erin) Okay, pause there.

Okay, okay forwards.

(keyboard clicks)

No.

-(wind gushing) -(suspenseful music)

(gasps, cries)

(keyboard clicks)

Guessing that's not your sis.

(exhales in disbelief)

(dramatic music)

(exhales)

(Erin) He's the pilot.

(kid) "Once upon a time, in a far off land,

there was an enchanted forest."

(Lori) "The forest was a special place,

full of magic and wonder."

"Deep in the heart of the forest lived a beautiful Princess."

"Nothing could harm you in the enchanted forest."

"Nothing could harm you in the enchanted forest."

"Nothing could harm you in the enchanted forest."

(panting)

What the fuck is going on here, Captain?

(Lori) This isn't Limaji.

(passenger 4) It's uninhabited.

No evidence of human existence.

(gasps) Oh, god.

(passenger 4) Do I scare you?

I should.

What the hell are you doing in my dad's house?

I wanna find my sister.

I'm coming.

(Lori) Boats.

Boat!

(closing theme music)
