Original subtitles

She's on the outside. - So what?

Tell them I won't do it. - It has to be done on Thursday.

And make sure it happens in his hometown of Boston.

I'll see you in London on Saturday. We'll drink to that then.

Mr. Toomy, thank God I still found you.

I looked at those foreign bonds again...

...and you didn't earn 43 million , you lost it.

I know that. - Do you know that already?

I'm the head of the department. I'm calling you from Boston.

You shouldn't go to Boston.

All transactions have been approved by you.

The board of directors will finish you off.

I know. That's why I have to go there.

Just calm down because everything is going to be okay.

In fact, it's going to be awesome.

That man has something strange in his head.

Not now, Dinah.

I brought you so you tell me what you need in Boston?

Stop it. I'm not telling you anything. - This is not for you.

You fly to Boston and your best friend doesn't know why.

That's my escape. I have to get away.

Those meters tell us nothing. That leak could have been anywhere.

Don't worry. The mechanics will do that.

I'm worried. You know what a leak like that can mean, right?

We all nearly turned into pate.

Maybe I've been doing this job too long.

Unfortunately, we couldn't find that leak anywhere.

It's not about that leak.

Can I talk to you outside for a moment? - Why? What's up?

Outside, please.

What's the matter? - It's about your wife.

You mean my ex-wife. We're divorced. What's wrong?

She's had an accident. Come with me to my office.

How is Annie?

Is she seriously injured?

Is she dead?

Unfortunately, there was a fire in her apartment.

How are you?

Yeah, it's just a big shock.

There is an overnight flight to Boston leaving now. You can come along if you want.

It'll have to.

It looks pretty full. - Indeed. How's the weather?

Clouds at 20,000 feet from Great Plains to Boston.

And the aurora borealis has been seen over the Mojave Desert.

Northern Lights over California This time of year ?

We've had strange weather all year.

I asked for a window seat so I want one.

I want a window seat. - If you could just...

No, you go to the counter. I'll only talk to you.

There's always one. - Always.

Everything is arranged. I wish you a pleasant journey.

My condolences.

American Pride Flight 29. You are cleared for takeoff. Have a safe trip to Boston.

We pass over the Rocky Mountains and Denver.

Then via St Louis to Boston.

I wish you a pleasant flight.

Thank you for choosing American Pride.

Aunt Vicky, can I have a glass of water?

Aunt Vicky?

Can someone help me out?

My aunt is gone and I'm blind.

Is anyone here?

There is someone, isn't there?

Hush now.

What's up? - Where is everybody?

They're all gone. - Everybody's here.

Have we landed and has the rest gotten out?

Where is my aunt? I want my aunt.

It'll be okay. What's your name?

Dinah. I can't find my aunt . I'm blind.

When I woke up, she was gone.

Who screamed like that? Are there problems?

Where is everybody?

What's going on? Are we in Boston yet?

I want my aunt.

What's going on here? Shut the brat up.

You are not alone. Do you hear the others?

But where is Aunt Vicky and who was murdered?

Has someone been murdered? Has the plane been hijacked?

No one was murdered.

I felt like someone had cut her hair.

There are ten of us. In first class, someone is still sleeping.

What about the crew? - I was just about to check.

Would you keep an eye on her? - What's the matter?

Figure it out. And quickly. - Take it easy.

Doe 's even open.

Did we land and they let the rest out?

No idea. I was asleep.

You're a teacher, aren't you?

That's right. How did you know? - I can hear it in your voice.

Miss Lee, my teacher at the blind school, talks the same way.

I'm going to go see our friend up front.

I want to know what 's going on here.

And I want to know now.

That doesn't surprise me.

You said you felt someone's hair. What did you mean?

I felt someone's hair on one of the chairs.

This is a wig. It's not a scalp.

Is this what you felt?

What is there to see?

Nothing. Only mountains and darkness.

What's going on? Did the crew disappear too?

I don't know. I don't hear anything and the door is locked from the inside.

That's what I was afraid of. Sorry. Nick Hopewell.

I hope that captain's hat I saw is yours.

I'm Captain Engle, but call me Brian for now.

I'll call you Our Salvation if things really go wrong behind that door.

Shall we try to open it?

How can someone disappear and leave a wig behind?

Very mysterious, don't you think?

You can say that again.

That's someone's bridge.

That's what I was afraid of.

What's going on here?

Excuse me. Who's there? Come out.

I would like to know what is going on.

We try to get the cockpit door open.

It appears the crew has also disappeared.

But we're lucky because this man happens to be a pilot.

Do you work for American Pride? - That's right.

It's important now... - I'll decide.

Let me tell you what's important.

I have to be at Prudential in Boston at nine o'clock .

At nine o'clock sharp. That's important.

I booked in good faith ...

...and I have absolutely no intention of being late.

I have three questions.

One: Who gave permission for a stopover?

Two: Where was that landing? And three: Why did that happen?

Have you ever seen Mr. Spock in Star Trek?

What are you talking about?

If you don't shut up, I'll demonstrate his sleep hold.

You don't talk to me like that. Do you know who I am?

Of course.

You're a gland that hides your fear behind aggression.

It's okay, but you are being a nuisance.

Listen up...

A nose grab.

I'm gonna break it. Trust me.

I said I could break it like that. Let me know if you understand.

We don't have time for your business.

So I'm sending you back to your place with that gentleman over there.

Don Gaffney - Mr. Gaffney is going with you.

You sit down in your seat, you fasten your seat belt...

...and you keep your mouth shut. Is that clear?

Give me a sign if you understand me.

Very good.

I'm letting go of you and your nose now and when I do...

...and if you make even one sound...

...I will make you feel pain that humanity has not yet known.

I wouldn't do it. He means what he says.

Please come with me.

Not a good idea.

Come on.

Let's see if we can find something for that nose.

Okay, shall we open that cockpit door ?

There is no one behind the stick.

Whatever it is, it happened very quickly.

You have to see this

And here.

If you want a watch... The whole device is full of them.

Really ?

Watches, jewelry, glasses and also wallets...

...but the craziest thing is...

...that there are also things that come from people.

Surgical pens, pacemakers...

I'm thinking the same thing as our friend with the sore nose.

The plane landed somewhere for some reason...

...and most of the passengers and crew have disembarked.

We couldn't have ascended while we were asleep.

You can fly automatically, but not take off and land.

Where are the passengers and crew then?

I don't know.

But I would like to know.

Would you please pass me that paper ?

The altitude is correct. 37,000 feet.

We are on track.

What are you doing ?

I look to see which airport is closest to me.

Denver, this is American Pride flight 29. Are you receiving me?

Denver, am I copying this? This is American Pride Flight 29.

We have a problem.

A big problem. - So?

I can't hear anything at all.

This is American Pride Flight 29. This is an emergency...over.

UNICOM, here American Pride Flight 29.

I request immediate radio contact...about.

Denver, are you receiving me?

This is AP flight 29. Answer me, dammit.

Calm.

That dog doesn't bark either.

What are they doing down there? A nuclear war?

Easy. What do you mean, "that dog doesn't bark"?

Denver, the FAA emergency service... The dog.

UNICOM assists at smaller airports. That dog too.

This is a shortwave band.

Normally everyone there chats at the same time...

...but I don't even hear any noise.

The VOR beacon from Denver is also not working.

And that means? - That we don't have a radio.

The navigation system in Denver doesn't work either.

But according to my screen , everything is fine.

That's nonsense.

Hey kid, look what you see behind us on the left.

According to my records, we're just south of Denver.

There is nothing to see. Absolutely nothing.

Denver's out of power, huh?

Yes, or it's completely gone.

You guys go back. Just a moment of silence.

We are silent.

Come on, young people. We're going to sit down again.

The captain has his hands full.

What are you doing now?

I'm trying the air force frequency.

They are always in the air.

What happens now?

The captain and the Englishman try to establish radio contact.

It might be a good idea if everyone introduces themselves.

I'm Bob Jenkins. I'm a writer.

I have written more than forty novels.

Not one of my stories is as strange as this one.

My name is Laurel Stevenson.

I am a teacher in the San Fernando Valley.

This is my first holiday in eight years.

What's up, Dinah?

My name is Dinah Bellman.

I'm on my way to Boston for eye surgery.

Maybe then I'll be able to see again. Probably.

According to the doctors, there is a 70% chance that I will see the light again...

...and a 40% chance of complete recovery.

Albert Kaussner. I'm on my way to the Berkeley School of Music.

I play the violin.

I'm Bethany Simms.

I was going to stay with my aunt in Worcester, Mass. for a few days .

But now...

And what is your name?

And you?

Don Gaffney - And what do you do?

I am a mechanic at Hughes Aircraft.

I'm going to Boston to visit my first granddaughter.

Okay, now that we 've been introduced...

...the $64,000 question remains :-

Where did everyone go and why did we stay behind?

Air Force, this is American Pride Flight 29. Are you receiving me?

That dog doesn't bark either.

We are all alone.

Completely alone.

Listen up, friend...

...we don't want any panic to break out, do we?

There are ten people on board...

...and it's your job to land them safely.

You don't have to tell me what my job is.

I just did that.

And you already look a lot better.

What do you do for a living, Nick?

And don't tell me you're an accountant.

I am an attaché at the British Embassy.

Tell that to the cat.

That's what it says in my papers.

It could also have said: Her Majesty's Mechanic.

I fix things that need to be fixed.

Right now it's you. - I'm already fixed.

Best. What do you want to do?

Can you navigate without those navigation things?

Can you avoid other planes?

I can navigate just fine with the equipment on board.

And this thing tells us that there are no other planes.

Then we don't have to be afraid of collisions.

What do we do now? On to Boston?

Logan is one of the busiest airports in the world in the morning .

And we have no idea what's going on down there. No, we don't.

We're going to Bangor, Maine.

We should inform the passengers .

Those few that are left.

Can one of the gentlemen tell me where the staff is?

I slept wonderfully, but where is everyone?

This is madness. Where is everybody?

I don't know, but maybe...

Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain.

Captain, my ass. - Shut up.

As you know, we are in an extremely strange situation.

There is no contact between the cockpit and the ground.

About five minutes ago we should have seen Denver...

...but there was nothing to see.

That's bad news, but there is also good news.

The plane is fine, we have enough fuel...

...and I am qualified for this type of device.

Finally, I'll tell you that Bangor, Maine is now our destination.

Our on-board equipment works fine...

...but I can't say that about the ground markers.

Given the circumstances, Bangor Airport is the safest.

I have an important meeting in Boston at nine o'clock .

And I forbid you to fly to some hole in Maine.

Do you hear what I'm saying? - Please stop.

You're scaring the little girl.

Am I scaring the little girl?

Lady, we're going to an airport in the middle of the jungle.

I have more important things on my mind than the little girl.

Sit down, shut up or you'll get punched.

You can't do this alone, man.

That is not necessary.

I'll punch you in the face if you don't keep your mouth shut.

Gosh, I'm so scared now.

I'll help him if you don't stop and I mean it.

Fine. Nothing wrong.

If you 're all against me... that's fine with me.

This is not necessary at all.

Relax and take it easy.

Does anyone know how that little oven in the kitchen works?

That's what I thought.

That gentleman was a little confused . He's feeling better now.

To him we all look like monsters.

No, certainly not. What makes you think that?

I hear things sometimes. What people think.

I've always had that, but this was the first time...

...that I saw what that man saw.

It was dark and hazy, but I saw it anyway.

Honey, that's your fantasy. Nothing more.

That's what my aunt always said. But that's not true.

Go to sleep. You'll feel much better later.

No, I don't think so.

By the way, I've already slept and now I'm wide awake.

Do you see something?

I thought so.

Can I ask you something?

Did you happen to hear what that girl just said?

She told Miss Stevenson...

...that she couldn't sleep anymore because she had already slept.

I slept too. What about you?

What? - You were sleeping too, weren't you?

We all slept.

Maybe - No 'maybe'.

I am a detective writer. Deduction is my trade.

If anyone had been awake when this happened...

...didn't that person just scream the whole lot together?

Could be. - Of course.

So I conclude that everyone was asleep. Even the missing.

Plus the crew, kid.

Would you call me Albert? That's my name.

Please excuse me.

When I'm upset, I become a little fatherly.

Don't take it personally. I'm trying to understand.

Do you have any idea?

If it was just this plane, I could imagine a scenario.

Which scenario?

Suppose some shady government agency decided...

...to do an experiment with us...

...to see how, under certain circumstances...

...a number of ordinary citizens react with tension.

And the creators of this experiment...

...use an odorless hypnotic gas through the oxygen channels.

People inhale this gas and everyone falls asleep.

Except for the pilot who is wearing an oxygen mask.

Then the pilot lands at some secret location in Nevada or something.

And except for nine randomly selected subjects...

...all sleeping passengers are taken off board...

...and put in an identical plane.

The captain ascends again to the same altitude and the correct course.

He turns on the autopilot , turns off the radio...

...and when the gas has worn off, he hears the blind girl...

...that her aunt calls.

He knows that the others will wake up too.

Then the experiment begins.

So Captain Engle is one of them?

In that scenario.

If Captain Engle is involved...

...we have to overpower him after landing

You, me, Mr. Gaffney and maybe that Englishman.

But it's not right. - What's not right?

The scenario I just described is not correct.

But you just said... - I said:-

If it was just this plane.

But unfortunately it's not just this plane.

The city of Denver is probably still there...

...but all the lights were off.

And it's not just Denver, believe me.

Omaha, Des Moines, St. Louis...

There is no trace of any of those cities .

Whatever happened, it's not just this plane.

And that is where deduction fails.

St. Louis, do you receive me?

Here American Pride Flight 29.

I repeat: American Pride Flight 29. Do you copy me?

No response anywhere.

Neither on the ground nor in the air.

It's like the whole country just doesn't exist anymore.

I guess you never read science fiction?

As a child I was crazy about it. And you?

Until I was eighteen, yes.

I keep thinking about all those old stories.

Time and space travel, alien raiding parties...

We're not sure if there 's anything down there anymore.

Not now that there's so much cloud. - No, we don't know.

And that cloud cover could remain like this until Bangor.

Without radio contact we know nothing.

Can't you come down a bit so we can have a look?

No, that's way too risky...

...without radio contact with the ground or with other aircraft.

Laugh at me if you want, but...

I'm not laughing, bro. I'm definitely not laughing.

Suppose we have indeed entered another dimension.

Just like in a science fiction story.

How then do we find out what's going on down there?

Maybe the Rockies are somewhere in New York.

It looks like the whole sky is ours.

Above, yes.

Down there... who knows?

And 'who knows' is a dodgy proposition for a pilot.

So for now we'll just carry on?

You got that right.

And we wait. - Also good.

You're the boss. - That's three times in a row.

What do you see? - The sun. That's all.

And on the ground? - I only see clouds.

Maybe that's just as well. - Maybe.

Are you feeling better yet?

A little bit.

I don't want to pry, but...

Please feel free to ask.

Why did you lie when you told me why you were going to Boston?

How did you know I was lying?

I heard that in your voice. I hear a lot.

Maybe because I'm blind. I don't know.

I know you don't normally lie, otherwise I wouldn't have heard the difference.

I'm meeting a man... No, I'm supposed to meet a man.

His name is Darren Crosby. - How did you meet him?

That's a little embarrassing and that's why I didn't tell you.

I've never met him.

We correspond in response to a contact ad.

I liked what he wrote and how he looked in the photo.

So we arranged to meet in Boston.

Isn't it crazy to fly such a distance...

...for someone you 've never met?

I just realized now that it wasn't so much about Mr. Crosby...

...it was more about me.

I was tired of my safe life.

I wanted to get out and seek adventure .

But an adventure like this wasn't really my intention.

You are very beautiful, Laurel. I am sure you will find what you are looking for.

Do you think this will end well?

I sure hope so.

I'm a little afraid of what's under those clouds.

But I was already afraid of going to Boston.

My mother suddenly decided that I had to go to Aunt Shawna's.

I think Aunt Shawna was meant to be a trap.

What do you mean?

Don't pass 'off', you won't get 200 dollars...

...go straight to rehab until you're off it.

I was already so crazy that I hardly notice this.

But this is real, right? I'm not hallucinating, am I?

No, this is real.

Do you need to go into rehab, Bethany?

I don't know.

Maybe so.

It was always a party and I drank and used all kinds of things.

But now I don't know anymore.

But I felt like a pig on its way to the slaughterhouse.

How awful for you.

I feel bad too, but that doesn't matter right now.

Prepare yourself.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is Captain Engle.

We are currently flying over the Atlantic Ocean.

About 30 miles off the coast of Maine.

I'll start the descent towards Bangor shortly .

Make sure your belts are tightened properly.

I am now starting the descent. Please remain calm.

Everything is fine and I can complete the procedure normally.

Very reassuring.

You should have become a politician.

I don't think they're feeling so good.

Not me, anyway.

30,000 feet and still descending.

You may know that I'm pinching him well.

On the one hand, I'd rather you take off again.

We'll have to land at some point .

Yes, but I'm still afraid of what we'll find.

Or not. - We'll see.

I thought it would be better if we were all together.

Will you stop this? It's driving me crazy.

At least we can get something to eat when we land.

You know, Dinah... - What?

...I wish we didn't have to land.

It's small comfort, but you're not alone.

I'm scared.

I am very scared.

I think I'm going to faint.

It'll be okay. - I hope so.

This is normal turbulence. Most of you know this.

So try to stay calm.

Is there something wrong with the plane? Are we going to crash?

I don't think so. I hope not.

Is everything really going to be okay? - I hope so.

God be with us.

Maybe this was n't such a good idea after all.

Shouldn't we think about it some more ?

We don't have the time or fuel for that.

Hold on tight. I’ll get through this.

What was that?

I think there was a serving trolley loose.

I don't want to die.

Stop it. Or I'll shove the rest of that paper down your throat.

Just try it.

3000 feet. How thick is that cloud cover?

No idea. Thicker than I thought. - That sounds hopeful.

I'm going to 500 feet. If we 're not through by then...

...I'll fly on to Portland. - I'll do that right away.

No, the weather there is almost always worse than here.

I'm having less and less confidence in it.

It's still possible. - It's getting tight.

We are at 2000 feet and the ground is rapidly approaching.

That's true, but...

Look at that. Here we are.

Everything is fine.

We've broken through the cloud cover.

You'll hear the landing gear soon.

I descend further towards Bangor.

Just wish me luck. - Congratulations, man.

What do you see? - We are over land.

I see a field, a forest and a pond.

It’s all there, Dinah. It’s all still there.

I'm sorry, Miss. You're completely wrong.

I see the airport. What a beautiful sight.

Fasten your seat belts. We're landing.

Bangor, this is AP flight 29. This is an emergency.

If there is traffic on the road , remove it.

I'm going to land.

The lights are out, Brian. - That's not important now.

A landing according to the book. Piece of cake.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Bangor.

Thank you for those kind words, friend.

It looks like you're the only one welcoming us here.

It's completely deserted here.

That is not possible.

I'm afraid so.

What do we do now, Brian? - We get out.

Then we'll see.

After you, boss.

What's up? - The pilot landed safely.

Ladies and gentlemen, it was an easy landing.

Come on. It was definitely not nothing.

Are we still alive? Awesome.

May I have your attention for a moment?

You've probably looked outside so you know as much as I do.

Not only the passengers and crew have disappeared...

...it looks like the people on the ground are gone too.

But since we survived , whatever it was...

...it makes sense that there are more survivors

Faulty reasoning.

It is best to proceed step by step.

The first step is to get off the plane.

I have a ticket to Boston and that's where I want to go.

Shut up.

We use the slide. Let me go over it with you.

Listen carefully and form a single line behind me.

Well, here we are.

There's something about the air.

What do you mean? - I don't know.

Poisoned? - I didn't think so.

There is no smell at all.

Is something wrong? I don't know if I want to know, but...

There is nothing wrong. - True.

It smells wrong in here. Very wrong.

We have to investigate. There is no other way.

You understand that, don't you? - Why?

Why does that have to be? There is no one here.

We won't know until we investigate it.

I know now. Just listen.

There are no smells and no sounds.

No birds, no engines, nothing, just...

Just what?

Never mind.

What do we do now, captain?

You'll have to tell me...

... us.

This is more your territory.

I can sue you for this.

I can sue you and the entire airline for this.

That's your right, Mr. Toomy. Craig Toomy.

Do you know what happened? - No excuses.

This is horrible.

Stop loitering.

This is, in a word, terrible.

A nine and an eight.

An eight, mind you.

Do you want to spend your whole life digging holes?

No excuses.

Look. This is an eight. That stands for 'backward'.

And what happens to backward people who don't try?

They are caught by the Langoliers.

More than that.

They are caught and eaten.

They tear open little boys with their hungry jaws.

I don't want them to catch me.

They'll get you unless you stay focused...

...and stop loitering.

Otherwise they'll eat you alive.

Alive and screaming.

Stop loitering.

Are you listening? - Of course.

I know what happened to all those lazy people.

They were caught by the Langoliers. - What?

Do you know how important my meeting in Boston is?

The economies of many countries could depend on that discussion.

A meeting that I am not attending.

I don't have time for that now. - Time?

What do you know about time? I know what time is.

There is very little time, sir.

What is the easiest way to get to the terminal?

Via the baggage belt.

Okay , then we'll walk over there.

Ladies and gentlemen, shall we?

We're going. Mr. Toomy?

You don't have to worry so much .

Everything seems strange because the situation is so strange.

Like the sound your heels make?

You're right.

They sound... - Weak?

Exactly. Weak.

As if they were very limp.

The coast is clear.

Things are really not right here.

Watch your head.

Wait for me there.

Let's try the phone .

Were you scared?

A little bit.

I almost didn't dare to smoke. I was afraid we would explode.

I quit ten years ago.

No sermons, please. I've heard enough of those.

I just wanted to ask if I could have one.

It's been a long time indeed.

Now I remember why I quit.

What time do you have it? - Quarter to nine.

Me too. But I feel like it's much later.

It's like it's already lunchtime. How weird.

That's just jetlag. - I disagree.

We traveled from west to east.

We should actually feel like it's the past.

I just wanted to ask you something.

Don't you believe there are other people?

That's possible, isn't it? We were asleep, but we're still alive.

If it was 4:07 in Bangor when it happened...

...so the whole city was asleep.

That's true. But... where are they?

It’s no use. The lines are dead.

No dial tone, no operator, nothing.

The phones aren't ringing and the dogs aren't barking, Brian.

What do we do now?

Let's find the restaurant.

You only think about one thing, man.

First of all my name is Rudy Warwick and not 'dude'

I'm sorry.

Secondly, you can think better on a full stomach. That's just the way it is.

I agree with Mr. Warwick. We could use a bite to eat.

Why not? I already feel like Robinson Crusoe.

You know more about this, don't you? - Maybe...maybe not.

I do have a suggestion. Be careful with your matches.

I don't get it. There must be a kiosk upstairs with matches and lighters.

Just keep them.

Wait a minute. Where's Mr. Toomy?

What does it matter? We can do without them like a toothache.

I didn't see him walk away.

Craig Toomy, where are you?

Something's wrong. - There's no echo.

What do you mean? That can't be.

Is anyone there?

They're coming.

The Langoliers are coming. - Not true.

They're coming to get you.

You have been naughty.

You had a meeting in Boston...

...and you let it down.

I couldn’t help it. I was kidnapped.

No excuses.

You either do your job or you don't.

I don't want my job anymore.

And I don't want to live like this anymore.

From the age of five you've been pressuring me...

...to see if I would explode.

And I'm gonna explode too and it won't bother me.

I bought 43 million dollars worth of stock...

...that are worthless.

I've got a target taped to my head. I'm getting out.

Control yourself, damn it.

Are you staying focused now?

Why can't you just love me?

Love won't cut it.

Will you cooperate, or should I hand you over to them?

They don't even exist.

They do exist. They have been here and they will return.

They're coming to get you, you lazy bum.

What should I do?

You do what you have to do to get to Boston.

If you don't...

...they will eat your eyes out of your sockets.

Make them go away.

Make them go away.

Come on.

Wait a minute.

Here. I feel the light.

There's also something about the glass.

I hear something.

There is nothing.

You're getting things into your head, Dinah.

What do you hear?

I don't know. It's very weak.

I heard it when we arrived. I thought I was imagining it.

Now I can even hear it through the glass.

It sounds like rice crispies that just had milk poured over them.

Do you hear something?

Nothing. But blind people have a better developed hearing.

I think it's hysteria.

Do you hear something?

Nothing. But blind people have a better developed hearing.

I think it's hysteria.

What are you talking about? - I said that to Nick.

She heard it. - You have good ears, don't you?

I hear something outside. It's coming from that direction.

It is a terrible thing.

It's a very scary sound.

Maybe it would help if you could tell us what it is.

I don't know.

But it's closer than just now.

We have to get out of here quickly.

Something's coming and it's making a terrible noise.

We're out of fuel. - Then go get some gas.

It's coming. Don't you understand?

If we don't get out of here, we'll all be killed.

I don't want to hurt anyone.

Don't forget it.

The Langoliers have been here.

And they come back.

Better get out of here quickly.

Because you know what happens otherwise.

I know that.

Then they'll eat me.

Then they'll eat me whole.

If we take another plane , can you fly?

But where are we going then?

Away from that noise.

Has it come any closer?

I don't know.

It still seems far away, but I'm not sure.

Then let us do as Mr. Warwick suggested.

We'll have a bite to eat first and then we'll see what happens.

Since when is he our leader?

Let's go with him. He knows what he's talking about.

What is that then? - I don't know exactly either.

But it's definitely worth it.

Come on.

I'm dying of hunger.

See? There are matches.

True, but let's try one first.

Fine...but why? - We'll find out in a moment.

Oh my gosh. We've got another problem.

Can I have your matches?

Wait a minute. What do you know about this?

The situation is more complicated than we thought.

What's going on, guys?

I don't know, but I don't like it.

It goes even further than I thought. - Say it.

It's spoiled.

Yuck. - Spoiled? I don’t think so.

Judging by the clocks, the fridge has only been off for five hours.

You try it then.

It's not spoiled. It just has no flavor.

But I understand that you thought it was spoiled.

It's spoiled.

Just taste that beer. - I don't need it anymore.

Just give it to me.

I've even drunk it warm. I don't care.

It's dead and it tastes like old car tires.

Nice. Dead beer is something we can control.

Could you please get some beer and soft drinks from the fridge?

No more dawdling.

You're going to Boston right now.

I don't want to shoot anyone, but if I have to, I will shoot.

Absolute.

You're out there, aren't you?

All the lazy people have been eaten and now you come to get me.

But by then I'll be long gone.

I'm going to Boston.

The beer is indeed dead. But why?

I have an idea, but first I want you to take a good look around.

What is the difference between this place and the plane?

The rings, wallets, bags and prostheses.

They're not all here. - That's right.

That's absolutely right.

They're not here, but the plane was full of them.

Why not here?

Maybe there was no one here. - Nonsense.

An airport is just like a police station.

There are people there day and night. - I hear someone.

I'll shoot if I have to. Take me to Boston.

What's happening? - Take me to Boston.

I'm suffocating. Let go.

Take it easy. - Stand still.

Stand still. - Do as he says.

I shoot when I have to.

I think I'm touched.

It'll be okay, Albert.

How are you?

How serious is it? Can you stop the bleeding?

You'll survive. Here's a souvenir.

He was lying on the ground. The bullet ricocheted off your chest.

I thought it wouldn't go off. Just like the matches.

That was very brave and very risky.

Suppose I was wrong.

That was almost the case.

If there had been more force behind it , it would have gone wrong.

How are you?

I thought it was really brave.

Really great.

It was nothing.

Hold his hands.

I didn't kill him, did I?

I hit him pretty good. - He's still alive.

His pulse is good. He'll make it.

He'll probably just have a bad headache.

Let us take our measures.

Does it have to be so rough?

You don't want him to be able to do anything else, do you?

Just like a Christmas turkey. Neatly wrapped.

Where were we?

Make me sit up. Right now.

Shut up. - Stop it.

What was that for?

I don't have time to slowly shake you awake.

Dinah says something terrible is coming and I believe her.

If we don't find out what's going to happen, we'll soon be in trouble.

Is there anyone who disagrees with this?

Nice.

Go on, Mr. Jenkins.

I write about this kind of thing, but I've never experienced it.

Not yet, anyway. - You're doing fine, Mr. Jenkins.

I enjoy listening to you. It makes me feel better.

I think it's very sweet of you to say that, Dinah.

I think I've found a flaw in our reasoning.

Namely the following:-

When we realized something was wrong, we assumed...

...that something had happened to the rest of the world.

But it seems that this is not the case.

Something happened to us.

Only with us.

I'm sure the world as we know will continue as usual.

But we, the ten survivors of Flight 29, are gone.

Tell me what you think.

I feel like we don't have much time left.

Good.

There's no clutter here like there is on an airplane.

There is no electricity here, but there is electricity on the plane.

Of course, that doesn't say anything yet.

The matches worked fine on the plane .

The matches here are just sputtering a little.

Carbonated drinks kill.

The food doesn't taste. There are no smells.

Sound does not reflect.

Then that lunatic fires a revolver.

The bullet doesn't travel far and there is absolutely no force behind it.

And then the weather... - What about that?

There is a strong wind with heavy gusts.

But the cloud cover is n't moving at all.

It looks like it's frozen.

The weather patterns no longer change.

Or they go slower and slower like an old pocket watch.

And that brings me to the heart of the matter.

Fifteen minutes ago I felt like it was lunchtime.

But now I feel like it's already three or four in the afternoon.

Soon it will be dark while it is only morning on the clock.

What exactly do you mean?

I mean we 're dealing with time here.

Not with dimensions, as Albert said.

Suppose that every now and then a gap appears in the passage of time.

Not a deviation in time, but a crack.

A tear in time.

I've never heard anything so strange.

What happened to us is strange. The whole situation is strange.

Go ahead.

Suppose that such a crack in time appears every now and then.

After all, there have been other strange natural phenomena reported...

...like inverted tornadoes, circular rainbows...

...and stars you see during the day. - Aurora borealis.

What?

The aurora borealis was hanging over the Mojave Desert as we left.

We had to go right through it.

That's it.

An aurora over the desert. That fits my theory.

If we flew through it and it was a tear in time...

...then we are no longer in our own time.

We have little time. Can you tell us what it is exactly about?

The point is that we take a very small step...

...have made into the past .

Fifteen minutes at most.

We now see the terrible truth of time travel.

We can't just go back to November 22, 1963...

...to thwart the Kennedy assassination .

You don't see them building pyramids or Rome falling.

We cannot see the age of the dinosaurs ourselves.

No, fellow time travelers...

...just look around you.

This is the past.

It is empty and quiet.

A world with as much content as an old paint can.

Some senses no longer pick up anything.

There is no more electricity.

Time slows down in a spiral that speeds up.

And us?

If that spiral ends here and we're in it...

Then he takes us with him.

Or we cease to exist like the other passengers.

That sound I just told you about, I hear again now.

It's getting closer. Much closer.

I'm going back to the windows.

Are you coming too?

We hear it clearly enough here.

Stay away from Mr. Toomy.

What do you think, Brian?

It's the only sound there is. - It hasn't reached us yet.

But it's coming soon.

Dinah is right. We need to get out of here as soon as possible.

Where should we go?

Atlantic City, Miami Beach, a spa town?

You think we can't go anywhere.

I think...I hope you're wrong .

I have a question: Can we fill up without electricity?

There are fuel reserves in the ground near the runway.

What do we do when we've refueled? - Then we take off again.

The sound comes from the east.

The crack in time was in the west.

Can you find the same course again? - Yes, why?

Maybe that crack is still there.

Maybe we can just fly back.

That could very well be the case. - Maybe.

We can't use that plane anyway .

Why not? We can fill up with gas, right?

Think about the matches.

The matches in the restaurant did n't work.

So what?

The matches don't work... - So kerosene doesn't burn either.

Of course, it's just as worthless as those other things.

I might as well throw syrup in the tanks.

Are we stuck here?

That sound is getting closer and we can't get away?

You mentioned Langoliers. What are they?

Dinah, don't talk to him.

Calm down. I won't hurt the child.

I wouldn't have done anything to that girl either. I'm just scared.

Isn't that you?

But I don't take hostages and I don't shoot boys.

Touch.

What are Langoliers, Mr. Toomy?

I thought it was a fable.

But I'm not so sure about that anymore because I hear it too.

The sound? Is that the Langoliers?

I wouldn't know what else it is.

Tell us more about it.

My father always said that Langoliers were creatures...

...that lived in closets, sewers, and other dark spaces.

Like elves?

They are not nearly as pleasant as elves.

He said they were made of hair and teeth...

...and fast legs.

Oh, those little legs were fast.

This way they could catch all the naughty boys, no matter how fast they ran.

Stop it.

You're scaring her. - No way.

I know they're fables. - Laurel herself is scared of them.

My father said there were thousands of Langoliers.

That had to be...

...because there are millions of naughty boys and girls wandering around.

Father loved the word 'wandering'...

...because it means you are moving without any purpose.

The Langoliers are running.

They have a purpose.

You could say they embody the word 'purpose'.

What naughty things did those kids do?

I'm glad you asked.

If my father said you were naughty...

...he meant you were lazy.

And lazy people didn't count.

In my house you either counted or you cut corners.

Because if you cut corners and didn't count...

...the Langoliers came to take you away completely.

He said you could hear them coming when you were lying in bed.

Crunching, hacking and smacking... - Stop it.

That's enough.

You must have been terrified of your father.

You hit the nail on the head.

I was terrified of him.

Is he dead?

Did he cut corners? Did the Langoliers get him?

I am not as you see me. None of us are ugly.

How do you know what I see, blind girl?

You'd be surprised.

What do we do now? - I don't know.

She looks beautiful, doesn't she? - Especially compared to the rest.

How much fuel do we have left?

When we landed I was less than 5,000 pounds.

I need at least 45,000 to get back to that place.

Whatever it is, it's getting worse.

I'm going back to the restaurant.

I don't want to leave the ladies alone with that guy for too long.

Wait a minute.

What is ?

Captain Engle. Come here.

I think I found the solution.

What are they doing?

They remove the slide and put a staircase by the door.

Now they are going upstairs.

What are they planning?

All I know is that Albert went completely crazy.

He said the plane was "more present." I don't get it.

I hope they hurry up.

Mr. Toomy is right.

The Langoliers are coming. - His father made that up.

Maybe it was a myth at first, but not anymore.

Go ahead, Albert.

Tool A: A box of matches from the restaurant.

It looks different outside.

The light is gone. That's the difference.

How is Mr. Toomy? - He fell asleep.

That's it. There's nothing more we can do.

Wait a minute. I smell sulphur. - Me too.

Try one more time.

You see.

Do you see what this means? We have our own time with us.

Beyond that is the past, as is everything east of the hole.

But the present is here inside. It's stuck in the plane.

That's why everything here is more alive inside than outside.

Try it, it's beer.

Just smell it.

That smells like beer.

Pour me a glass. Stress is bad for your ricketick.

Are you awake?

The matches work, but the beer stays dead. What does that mean?

It takes a while for it to adjust.

This is the best beer I've ever had.

Indeed. It's awesome. - Try the soda's.

Gentlemen, the Coke tastes excellent today.

How dark it is.

You were supposed to look after that madman. - He's not with us yet.

What a creepy sound.

It looks like a pile of termites on a balsa wood glider.

We need to go check on Mr. Toomy . I'm worried.

If he's unconscious, there's not much we can do.

I don't think he's unconscious and he's not sleeping either.

Okay. We'll go take a look.

I thought... Where is he?

Style.

There. He's hiding behind there.

How do you know that? I don't hear anything. - I do.

I hear his heart beating. It's very fast.

He's scared to death. I feel sorry for him.

Come out, Mr. Toomy.

We won't do anything to you.

Don't be afraid.

I'm going to get help.

She is not a little girl.

She is not a little girl.

She is the head of the Langoliers.

She calls the other Langoliers with her dead, blind eyes.

Runny nose.

You're a genius, Albert.

It was nothing. I saw how it went with those matches.

Tom, you have to come.

She's been stabbed. She's dying. - Calm down. Who's dying?

Dinah. The knife broke off in her chest.

It was Mr. Toomy. - Damn it. Come on, Albert.

Brain, start your engines.

Mr. Jenkins, keep watch below. Come along, Albert.

Get out of here. - Don't talk.

Don't worry, Dinah.

We'll have you back on your feet in no time.

Make it hurt.

It hurts to breathe.

It makes you cough, doesn't it? - Yeah...I don't know.

Try not to do it.

Just try to ignore that itch.

No more talking.

She has internal bleeding.

That knife has to come out or she'll choke on her own blood.

Get six tablecloths from that bar around the corner and quick.

What are you going to do?

I'm looking for the right instruments.

Can you stand the sight of blood? - I can stand it if I have to.

Fine. You'll be my nurse.

Everything will be okay, Dinah.

I'll just patch you up. Word of honor.

They're getting closer. You really have to hurry.

I know.

That's right.

Just stay here in the dark .

When it's time to get up, I'll let you know.

Okay, Dad.

As you wish.

We need a stretcher.

Albert, you and Mr. Gaffney go find a stretcher.

You'll probably find a few sharp knives behind the bar.

Can I have a tablecloth like that? - What for?

Just look.

I almost broke my brother's arm doing this once .

Fine, but you're not going after Mr. Toomy.

I want you to find a stretcher and get him here as quickly as possible.

If you don't have anything in ten minutes , we'll carry her.

We can't move her. - We have to.

She has to get to the plane. We only have ten minutes.

But with internal bleeding... - Laurel, he's right.

Come on. Walk.

How are you feeling? - It hurts.

I know.

There's a piece of knife in your chest. You know it has to come out.

I'm scared. - Me too.

Me, too.

Fold those tablecloths as thick as possible.

Come closer. Take off your belt, Mr. Warwick.

I'll pull out the blade and then you immediately press that bandage on.

Press hard, understand?

Jesus, help me.

Don't you dare faint, sister.

Press hard. As hard as you can.

Press hard.

Let's take a look over there.

Could it be locked?

There's only one way to find out.

Look at this. A stretcher.

Watch out. He's here.

You're a Langolier too, aren't you? I'll get you.

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

I have to do this.

If you looked at it from my side, you would understand.

I'm going to Boston.

Pick her up.

We've got you. Belt.

Could Toomy have caught them?

Belt, now.

Keep pushing, I'm going down. - Be careful.

That's what I'm good at.

You did a great job.

Thank you, Laurel.

Don't kill him. - Why not?

That bastard stabbed you. - We need him.

Do you understand that? We need him.

Do as she says, Nick.

PREVIOUS PROGRAM COMPLETED NEW PROGRAM ? Y/N

FLIGHT PLAN AP 29 LAX/BGR IN REVERSE ORDER

FLIGHT PLAN CALCULATION

Got it.

Why aren't they back yet? - I don't know.

Mr. Jenkins said he saw no movement in the terminal.

Maybe they are dead.

Certainly not.

Maybe you'll feel better if you sit with him.

Are you afraid?

I sure am.

That makes me feel good. It's hard to be scared on your own.

PROGRAM COMPLETED

Thank you for choosing American Pride.

Don't mention it.

Do you see any signs of life yet? - That depends.

Just before you came down, I heard someone screaming.

I hope she makes it. He hit her good.

Did you talk to the captain? - He's programming his instruments

I hope so.

What's that noise? - Hopefully we won't find out.

Everthing okay ?

Where is Mr. Gaffney?

He's in that little office.

Mr. Toomy was waiting behind the door.

He killed Mr. Gaffney. He was leading the way.

If I had gone first, he would have killed me.

Then I killed Mr. Toomy.

I had to. He attacked me.

He found another knife and he attacked me.

Can you keep your spirits up? - I don't know.

I've never killed anyone.

I know. It's a terrible thing.

But you have to let it go, and quickly.

That sound is getting closer.

Did you do that with the toaster?

He is not dead.

No? - See for yourself.

He is unconscious, but he is still participating.

We're going to see how Mr. Gaffney is doing.

Did you find a stretcher?

Yeah, we found one. - Good.

Hang in there, Albert. That's all you have to do.

Hang in there.

Bring that stretcher up. I'll be right there.

What are you going to do?

I'll just take a quick look in the office .

I don't believe you.

That's not necessary. Just bring that stretcher upstairs.

And don't look back.

This is more than you deserve, asshole.

Don't kill him. We need him.

Do you understand that? We need him.

Nick, are you coming? - I'll be right there.

Careful. Not too fast. - Here they come.

I'll help. - Careful. Keep her quiet.

We carry her upstairs.

How are you? - She's still alive.

And the others? - Gaffney is dead.

Toomy maybe too.

Keep the side up.

Carefully.

This way.

Carefully.

Put it down quietly.

Tie her up.

She's in bad shape, isn't she? - Bad enough.

Will she survive? - I'm a soldier, not a surgeon.

I'm sorry.

That time traveling thing is going to get on your nerves.

You don't have to apologize.

I'm going to start the engines and taxi to a fuel depot.

In the meantime, the four of you get a pump truck.

There's one on the other runway. Understood?

Get to work.

Go down and remove the stairs.

If I move the plane, you can bring it back.

We'll take you home.

My god.

Look.

It is light again.

How long ago did it get dark? - Forty minutes ago.

We can't worry about that now.

Let me die.

Please let me die.

What happens to Mr. Toomy? - I don't know.

I did what you and Dinah wanted. I left it.

Will you go out to dinner with me sometime if we ever get back to LA?

Yes, then I have something to look forward to.

Me, too.

If it was visible, we could do something.

I don't think so.

Go ahead. All at once.

Over here.

Go ahead.

Stop it.

Do you see that? Can you open that lid ?

Nick, pull that hose out and tighten it.

Is it secured properly?

Which one should come first?

The judge.

And now?

I use the engines to suck up the fuel.

How long does that take? - I don't know.

One or two hours.

Hurry up. We don't have two hours.

Maybe not even one hour.

Craig, stand up.

You must get up now.

Go away.

I hate you. Go away.

They came. The people you wanted to see.

They came here from Boston.

You can see them.

If you have enough courage to stand up.

Enough guts?

Enough guts?

Whoever you are, you must be joking.

Come on, Craig.

They don't wait forever.

The Langoliers will take care of that.

You have to get up.

You must.

Go ahead. Stand up.

This way. They're waiting for you.

I'm sorry, Mr. Toomy. Whatever you did.

But we need you. Please hurry.

What is ?

The engines do not respond well to that fuel.

Damn it.

What can you do about it?

I let the other two engines drive the pump and keep hoping.

They have stopped.

We have to wait for the fuel to adapt to our times.

I think we're lucky. - Maybe.

Is everything okay?

I believe we have a good chance.

You sent them after me, didn't you?

The director, the board, everyone.

Yes, but you have to hurry or they will leave again.

This way, Craig. They're waiting for you. Hurry up.

Dinah talks in her sleep. She is delirious.

I'm not sure.

I believe she's drifting off.

You have to hurry, before they think you're not coming.

She must be dreaming about that Toomy.

She just said his name.

If you want, I will do that.

Hurry up. I know it hurts , but you have to be quick.

She's delirious, isn't she? - I don't think so.

I think it has to do with...

...with what she told Nick about Mr. Toomy.

She said we needed it.

Let her be.

She needs her sleep.

I hope we take off soon.

Thank you for bringing them to me.

This is my last chance.

This is my last chance to escape from my father and the rest.

I know, but please hurry up.

Whatever you want.

What was that?

It was like a tree fell over. - Not enough wind.

Indeed.

What's happening? - Nothing.

You should see that.

We have to get out of here.

Make it stop. Please.

We don't have much time left. How much longer?

Fifteen minutes. - Can't it be faster?

I need exactly 2,250 kilos of fuel in each wing .

Otherwise we'll crash.

Hurry up, Craig.

Look at me.

Stand up.

Look at me.

They came from Boston for you .

Go to them. Quickly.

Run to them, Craig. Hurry up.

Run around the plane. Run away from the plane.

We disconnect and we grease it.

That's Mr. Toomy.

What is he doing?

Never mind. Time is up.

Mr. Tommy, finally.

I'm glad you could come.

Please give your report.

How much money have you earned for us?

Do you want to know how much money I made for you?

I'll tell you.

I have nothing.

Shut your mouth.

Say you lost the money, but there was nothing you could do about it.

I didn't earn any money for you .

I lost money for you guys.

I lost 43 million dollars.

And I did it on purpose.

I did it on purpose.

You, loser.

You, stupid fool.

What is he doing there?

I'm not afraid of you anymore.

The Langoliers don't exist at all.

You made them up.

Where am I?

Get out of here.

What are those?

My god.

Come on.

Go ahead.

You may think you are running now, but you are not.

You're just running around.

No, daddy. Make them go away.

Please make them go away.

I will be good.

I promise I'll be good.

Fasten your seatbelts.

How are you?

You should see that.

What's that? - They're coming towards Mr. Toomy.

They come to where he was.

If Toomy hadn't come out of the terminal, we would have been eaten.

She knew.

Somehow, she knew.

And now we know too.

What do we know?

We now know what happens to the past.

It is waiting for them.

It awaits the eternal guardians of time.

They are always behind us.

They clean up the mess in the most efficient way:-

By eating it.

Mr. Toomy knew about them.

He called them the Langoliers.

Come on.

Go away.

Have they got us?

Did we make it? Did we take off?

What's up? Are we crashing?

Sit down. Fasten your seat belts and everything will be fine.

Don't you dare open them. - I certainly won't.

We are in the air.

Everyone knows what happens next.

We go back the way we came.

We hope that the hole we passed is still there.

If it's still there, we'll try to get through it.

I'm going forward. Are you coming? - I'll stay with her.

You didn't forget our date, did you?

No, I don't. And I don't forget it either.

Me neither.

Hou vol, Dinah.

Please hold on.

What happens if something goes wrong with the fuel?

You know that very well.

I know.

Then we crash. End of story.

Would you like to kiss me?

Then do it.

It's getting later and later.

Time goes faster, huh? - Yes.

Soon we will only see the days and nights flash by.

We all had a reason for going to Boston.

What was yours?

Confess. Time is running out.

Why not?

What is 'top secret' when you've seen the world being eaten.

I have a special function in the army.

I do special jobs.

Very innocent, but also very dirty.

There is a politician of some standing in Boston.

That guy...I'll call him Mr. O'Banion.

He is very rich.

He is an enthusiastic supporter of the IRA.

Furthermore, he is a dangerous idealist.

He himself never had anything to do with that massacre.

Did you have to make him cold? - Only if there was no other option.

Mr. O'Banion has a lot of powerful friends.

His friends are our friends and so murder would be a bit risky.

But he keeps a cute chick .

I had to chill her.

As a warning?

Enough about me.

And you? What secrets do you have?

I have nothing to hide.

There is one thing:-

My ex-wife died in a fire in Boston.

That's why I went back.

Our marriage ended on an unfortunate note.

We had an argument about the children.

I wanted them and they didn't.

Then I did something...

...which I never thought I would do.

I always wanted to tell her I was sorry.

But I waited too long.

Don't worry too much about it.

I'm sure she's forgiven you.

If we get out of here alive and we come back...

...are you going to do it then?

Are you going to kill that girl?

No more nightmares for this boy.

If we get out of here safely... Something that is far from certain.

...then I'll stop.

What are you going to do then?

I can always learn to fly.

Don't talk.

We're going back.

Everything will be okay. I promise.

Don't worry about me.

I got what I wanted.

Don't talk.

I could see.

I could see through Mr. Toomy's eyes.

In the beginning everything was mean and nasty.

But later... - Don't talk, Dinah.

Then I saw you.

You are beautiful.

Especially your eyes.

Everything was beautiful.

Even the dead things.

It was so delicious...

...to be able to see.

Breathe, Dinah.

Please.

Please breathe.

Please.

I could see through Mr. Toomy's eyes.

Everything was beautiful.

Even the dead things.

It was so delicious...

...to be able to see.

I can live with that.

The girl has died.

She didn't get her surgery .

No, not that.

- Is Laurel okay? - She's fine.

You like her, don't you?

They'll be laughing at home that I found a nice girl.

She has guts.

I wish you all the best.

But now we must focus on the return.

We're about here now.

That is also where the gap in time lies.

Can you pay attention while I fly? - Sure.

If only I knew what we were looking for.

You'll recognize it when you see it.

If you can see it.

What is ?

I don't know. That's just it.

Something is very wrong.

I just can't think of what.

I see something.

My god.

The time has come.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have found what we were looking for.

I fly right through the middle.

We'll see what lies behind it.

I'll take care of it.

We have to go back.

We're going for it.

Listen. We were all asleep.

We were asleep when we flew through it.

Damn it.

You must turn around immediately.

How are you?

It could have been better. My arm is broken.

We missed it, didn't we? - Yeah, but why?

We've flown so far.

We missed it, didn't we? That was close.

Is this the intercom? - What's going on?

Listen carefully. We got out just in time.

We were lucky.

And I've been stupid. I'll explain.

When we first flew through the hole...

...all the people who were awake disappeared.

Now everyone is awake.

Now if we fly through the hole while we are awake...

...then we too will disappear.

That's all. - Is that all?

What should we do about it?

Should we go to sleep?

How do we do that?

I really can't sleep right now.

I don't know what to do.

But we have to be quick if we want to get through.

We only have enough fuel for an hour at most.

Aren't there other airports?

They are not designed for such a large aircraft.

So it will be LA airport

That's at least a thirty-five minute flight.

So we can wait another twenty minutes before we go through.

How do we get everyone to sleep at the same time?

Aren't you forgetting the most important thing?

Who will land the plane when we are all asleep?

Things really aren't going our way, are they?

There just has to be a solution . Right?

There is a solution.

Damn. Really.

What then? You have an idea, don't you? - Air pressure.

Of course, air pressure.

What are you guys talking about?

We lower the air pressure to 500 millibars.

Then we'll be gone soon.

But the answer to Laurel's question...

How do I wake up in time to land the plane?

One of us lets the pressure build up just before we fly through the hole.

One of us... - One of us must sacrifice.

Who's going to do it?

Shall we draw lots? - I'll do it.

Why you?

Can't we draw lots?

Why not Bob or Albert or me?

Come with me for a moment. - We don't have much time left.

I know. Just get started.

It could be something between us. Do you think so too?

There's no time to play. - I don't think so either.

But we can never know for sure. Everything depends on time.

Of time, sleeping and knowing nothing.

I have to do it.

I've always tried to keep my life reasonably balanced.

But I'm deep in the red. Now I can make it right.

I don't understand. - I wish I could explain everything to you.

Will you do something for me if you survive this?

Naturally.

Nick - I'm coming.

Listen carefully.

I wanted to quit. I knew it.

Stop what? - You have to believe me. Do you believe me?

I don't know what you mean, but I believe you.

We'll come back to the hole. - I'll be right there.

My father lives in Fluting, a village south of London.

Just ask for Mr. Hopewell. Some call him "the old man."

Tell him I wanted to stop. You have to persevere.

Usually he starts swearing when he hears my name.

Are you a go-getter?

Fine. Tell him what I told you.

And tell him you believe me.

Tell him I wanted to make up for what I did wrong in Belfast.

In Belfast. - Exactly.

Tell him to listen because of the daisies.

That time I bought daisies. - When you brought him daisies.

Not him, but that's good enough.

Can you remember that?

Take it easy.

Thank you for everything, Laurel.

Does it feel like we're suffocating?

You just feel a little strange.

A little light-headed and then nothing more.

Maybe I'll still be here later.

Weeds never die. - Anything goes.

Everybody sit down. Nick, sit next to me.

I'll show you what to do. - Wait a minute.

You had decided to quit.

You were determined.

And if your father won't listen...

...I have to remind him of the daisies. Is that okay?

Perfect.

You'll have to make do with that.

Shall we? - Go ahead.

I'm lowering the air pressure. Check your belts.

Fasten your seatbelts.

There's an oxygen mask next to you.

Do you know what to do?

Don't worry.

Go to sleep. Good night.

Will you hold me?

When you hold me.

I wanted to thank you again.

You're welcome. This was a flight I'll never forget.

Even without a movie and free mimosas.

Don't forget Belfast.

Behind the church.

He wanted to make it right.

How beautiful this is.

You're right. It's beautiful. How could it be otherwise?

This may well be where all life begins.

The cradle of creation and the source of life.

No Langoliers come here.

My god.

How beautiful this is.

LA Control Tower, here American Pride, Flight 29.

I repeat: Flight 29.

Control tower, this is an emergency. - Stop it.

Sit down. There's a lot of traffic here.

There is no traffic at all. Then look for yourself.

We're above LA.

But what do you see?

I'll tell you. Nothing.

Absolutely nothing.

Fasten your seatbelts.

This one too.

Fasten your seatbelts, ladies and gentlemen. We're about to land.

We're almost out of fuel.

Hold on tight. This is going to be a rough landing.

Hold on tight.

Watch out or you'll crash into that truck.

That was a close call.

If only we had crashed.

Everything we tried, Dinah, Nick...

...all for nothing.

It's the same here. Exactly the same.

Let's go check on the others.

Let's get out.

This time we'll go through the cockpit hatch.

What's that buzzing noise?

It's like electricity.

I don't think so, but I don't know what it is either.

I've never heard it before.

Let's try that door.

Guard.

What's up, Bob? What do you see?

All I see is an abandoned terminal. It's what I smell that counts.

Jet fuel, oil, rubber, sea air... I smell it too.

That's not all. Listen.

Do you hear that?

What does this mean?

If everything is normal, why didn't we see any lights?

Where are the people? - That sound is getting closer.

Let's see if we can get in.

Wait a minute. I see you know something. What is it?

I want to take a look around inside first.

Come on. Quickly.

There is another door.

Albert, open it and taste it.

Delicious. - Beautiful.

I think it's happening fast and we shouldn't be here...

...because that doesn't seem safe to me. Come on.

This way.

Stand against the wall.

Here we are not standing in the middle of the stream.

What's going to happen?

As we flew east through the hole...

...we ended up about 15 minutes in the past. Remember?

We are in the future. This time we are in the future.

I think so.

Only the world isn't dead now...

...we are in a world that has yet to be born.

You have to see it. I don't know what it is, but it's beautiful.

The present is about to catch up with us.

Hold on tight. Maybe it'll come with a jolt or something.

Look. Brian, look at this.

I'm looking for your mother. - Look at those new people.

Very nice. Come on, let's go find mommy.

Did you hear that? Did you hear what she said?

Is that us? The new people? Are we the new people?

No idea, but that's how it feels.

That was amazing. I've never felt anything like that.

Awesome.

Captain, what do we do now? - I want to go outside.

I want to get some fresh air and see the sky.

We must inform the authorities and...

That will come. First the air.

And maybe something to eat on the way?

Oh, why not.

My watch has stopped. - Get out of here.

Or does anyone want to go back east right away?

Not now, but soon. Then I'll go to England.

I have to look someone up in Fluting.

They call him 'the old man' there.

What are you talking about? - Daisies.

I'm talking about daisies. Come outside.

If I have to go to Boston again, I'll take a local train.

You're kidding.

Look at all those people, Bethany.

I am so happy.
