I love flying.

No matter what I got going on back home, I get on a plane and I leave it all

behind. You know what I mean?

No.

Come on, you gotta get in the spirit, Gracie.

Look at this assignment as a paid vacation to Colorado.

Well, maybe I could if they weren't sharing a plane with us.

Soon they'll be in the most secure prison in the nation and you and I will

sipping cocktails poolside at a resort hotel.

Hurry it up in there.

All we have to do is share a plane for a couple hours with a few serial killers,

gangsters, and bloodthirsty psychos.

Kind of like a New York subway ride, only cleaner.

Sorry about that, detective.

Jade, you still smell sweet as ever.

It's really great to see you again, Jade.

You really gave us a scare that night in the hospital.

Jade.

You know Ray Darrow?

Sweet guy, huh?

He and his family used to break into the houses of the rich and the famous, take

whatever they wanted, and slaughter anyone who got in the way.

Killed 17 people.

24.

It only proved 17.

So were you undercover with Darrow's followers?

When are we going to land this thing?

A few hours.

You got the easy part. I'm stuck supervising four more transfers this

All the worst scum from every maximum security ward in the country.

It's flying.

Relax, man. It's only turbulence.

Yeah, I bet a lot of people say that.

Right before the engine falls off.

Any trouble?

Just an air pocket.

There's nothing to worry about.

Now there is.

Take us down.

There's some place to laugh a mile. I didn't say land. I said down.

Now.

Take a low radar and take us 40 degrees north.

Some very bad things.

Move it, gentlemen.

Let's do this.

Let me go, man. The

plane is ours.

Beautiful, sweet Jade.

We really must catch up on old times.

Isn't today my lesson?

Yes. Well, then, what are you staring at?

I was admiring your key.

Oh, thank you. I want to do this right.

Listen, Samuel, before we start, I just want to make sure that, you know, you

don't feel at all weird about this.

Weird? Yeah, because I'm your boss.

But in this room, I want you to treat me just like you'd treat any other

student. Okay.

So if you, uh...

You know, feel uncomfortable at all, you can just tell me.

Or you can tell me.

Right.

Okay, I guess I do feel just a little bit uncomfortable.

I guess I'm just not sure how this whole master -student thing is supposed to

work.

Out there, you are the boss.

In here, I am the boss.

Clear now?

Yeah.

Let's begin.

Hemi.

What? Hemi.

No, really, Hemi.

You're weak.

Okay, but I have to warn you, Sammo, I led the class in hand -to -hand combat

the academy.

Well, I'm glad that whole boss thing isn't going to be an issue.

That's first lesson. You must feel the pain to understand the motion.

Well, I asked you to teach me martial arts, not kick my butt.

Second lesson.

Never wear something you can't read.

Why? What does it say?

Please kick my butt.

Now, grab me.

Grab you.

Grab me.

What's the matter?

What's wrong? What's the emergency?

Special Agent Stockwell, FBI.

Commander Dillon, we have some bad news for you. The prison transport plane your

people were on has gone down.

It crashed?

The plane was in a steep dive when it went off radar.

Where did this happen?

Right over the Sierra Nevadas. The search is being conducted by the FBI,

NTSB, and the Department of Justice under my command. Your chief has

these officers for us to coordinate.

Did anyone see the crash?

No reports yet. It's pretty rugged. Not a lot of people out there.

What can we do?

Frankly, best thing we can do is stay out of our way and let us do our job.

The print didn't crash.

I don't want to believe it either.

No wreckage.

No call for help.

It did not crash.

So easy. Shut up.

Pick him in the back and lock him up.

What a gorgeous day.

The sun, the mountains, the fresh air.

Like the first day you hitchhiked up to that ranch.

Poor, sad little runaway Jade.

With your dirty shirt and your torn up jeans.

Said you hadn't eaten in three days.

At least she told me.

You sure ate good that day, though.

I don't remember.

Sure you do.

That potato -y casserole Henry used to make?

Carol would pull the salad together from the first ripe tomato of the season,

still hot from the sun. Life was quaint in Psychoville.

And how she made that blackberry cobbler?

I guess you heard she died in prison, Odie.

I believe it was Janet took you to hospital, and I wasn't. You know it was.

Remember how she never let anyone in the kitchen when she made that cobbler?

Always kept that recipe a secret.

Now there ain't nobody ever going to taste that cobbler again.

You killed 24 people, and you're mourning a cobbler? People die.

Flesh rot.

Memories wither.

But a thing of beauty that lasts forever.

I like this conversation. Can we kill him and move on?

Jade, I gave you something once. Do you remember?

I said it was yours to keep until I need it back.

Well, I need it back now.

Spitz. I'm afraid Jade's getting a sunburn out here with her pretty face

exposed.

What do you suggest?

Could remove it.

What, the sunburn?

The face.

You know what? You get tight, you take these two out into the wood, someplace

quiet.

You practice on her friend first.

She likes to watch.

A complete press blackout.

If anybody asks any questions, just tell them it's a training exercise.

From what I can tell, you've got a dozen choppers and light aircraft following

the plane's course and a hundred federal agents on the ground, and you haven't

come up with a thing.

It's not unusual, considering we've only been at it an hour. There's a lot of

territory to cover out there.

When a plane crashes, it leaves behind a path of destruction, wreckage, topped

trees, fires.

It's not that simple.

The plane could have gone into a ravine. It could have gone into a lake. It

could be miles from where we're looking.

Well, then trace the transponder signal.

There was no transponder signal. It was probably destroyed in the crash.

Oh, turn to off.

Why would the pilot do that?

He wouldn't.

Darryl may he do it.

Look, I'm very good at this. And every second I spend explaining myself to you

is time spent away from the search.

We call you when we find something.

What's this?

Pharaoh's followers.

If he was planning something, they might know.

Haven't we walked far enough?

Five years in a six -foot cell.

I think you'd like a little walk in the woods.

Yeah, this is what I've missed.

I'd lie in my bunk and think, if only I had a gorgeous girl in handcuffs so I

could take on a nature hike.

Yeah, I see your point.

All right, you two, stop here. Great, now!

Not if we make it a dance.

May I?

Not bad. You should see me

tangle.

We ought to stop and take a look at your leg.

Fine. I'll walk it off.

Walk it off?

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

Standard philosophy for little league coaches everywhere.

You get blasted upside the head with a baseball bat or hit in the eye with a

ball, if you're still conscious, you walk it off.

That explains a lot about American men.

You know, it is pointless to be wandering around like this.

I'm not wandering around. I'm headed back.

Back? To the jet?

They have a plane load of automatic weapons.

A pistol.

And a knife. And we have virtue on our side.

So our strength is that of ten men.

They have ten men on their side, which gives them the strength of ten men.

Ten well -armed men.

Look, we didn't land here by accident.

Daryl has something up his sleeve, and we're the only ones that can find out

what it is.

That's why we have to go look for help.

You're that scared of Daryl?

Look, I want Daryl back on death row where I put him.

If that means risking our lives, then fine.

But I am not going to hand myself over to him to allow you the illusion of

accomplishing something.

Here, look.

Let's head for higher ground.

See if we can find civilization, a road, smoke coming out of a chimney, a power

line, anything.

That makes sense.

But if there's nothing out there, we're going back and we're going to handle

Daryl ourselves.

Fine. Go.

But first, I'm getting these things off.

This is one of the things you said all day.

Turn your head.

You've got to be joking.

Why ain't you laughing?

Got that chair in there? Oh, you want that?

Put that down there.

Can we take the bird inside, please?

Are you Adam Pender?

Yeah. I have some questions.

Well, I have some answers.

Toss the bag, burn the suit, and unshackle yourself from society.

From the laws and the morals and the ethics that have stripped you of your

humanity and turned you into a robot instead of a man.

Where is Daryl?

Well, he's locked away.

For threatening the system that enslaves us all.

Not anymore.

Really?

Well, then there's hope for mankind again.

Where are you going, Mr. Pender?

Vacation. I'd send you a postcard, but we don't believe in participating in the

postal system.

I'm impounding your truck.

You can't do that.

Broken taillight.

Four tires.

No registration.

We don't believe in registering anything.

The word is offensive to us.

Come with me.

with security guard uniform, Mr. Pinder.

I found something.

I was looking through the air traffic control report. We've already been

that. But you missed something. There was an unidentified radio contact just a

few minutes after the... Yeah, we checked that out.

It was a single -engine prop out of Denver. Some idiot who just learned to

Oh.

Look, I know how much you want to help. But I'm just supposed to sit back and do

nothing, right? Well, those are my people. I can't do that.

I understand. I know how you feel. I feel the same way.

I don't understand the idea of a situation being completely out of my

Why do you think I took the job of FBI liaison with the NTSB?

So I'd have the illusion that I could actually do something about a crash.

Or, at the very least, maybe help prevent the next one.

I'm keeping you from your job.

Sorry.

I promise you we're doing everything we can to find your people.

Flip it over. What's all this stuff?

Nothing you need to worry about yet.

Right now I need you to take this equipment you loaded up on the plane. I

little project for you.

Funny you never said anything about construction.

A little hard work under the autumn sun.

It's like a harvest.

First you toil, then you feast.

Well, I've got an idea for you.

How about you go harvest yourself?

Tell me something.

Where would you be right now if it weren't for me?

I'd be on the road.

The gift of life is mine to give.

But if my gift don't make you happy...

Toil first, and then we'll feast.

And what a feast it will be. Trust me.

And I'll make you all very, very rich men.

They're gone.

You let them get away.

Let isn't the word I'd use.

We gotta head back to the plane.

We don't even know where that is anymore.

Yes, we do.

If we set some trees on fire, then the fire service would send some planes or

choppers. And the firemen would spot the jet and us.

Unless the wind shifts.

Then Smokey the Bear would have our barbecued bodies as a snack. Plus, we

have matches.

We could rub two sticks together.

Yeah, I could also click my heels together and say, there's no place like

Or we can go back there and do what we both know we have to do.

Let's sit down and rest for a minute.

Remind me when we get back to Burnby.

So what did he give you?

Who?

Daryl. He said he gave you something and he was going to take it back.

What did he give you?

Nothing important.

Nothing important?

No.

Just my life.

Was that the time Janet took you to the hospital?

Yeah, the D .A. was sure that Daryl was behind the home invasions.

But he was too careful to leave any evidence behind.

So we went in with a couple of lost souls, the kind that Daryl liked to have

around him.

We?

Me and another operative.

A cop named Karen Tilden.

She called herself Heather.

Heather and Jade.

We were there about a week when, uh... I woke up in the middle of the night

screaming.

I thought I'd been knifed in the stomach.

Too much Blackberry Cobbler.

A penicillin.

Darrow and one of his people drove me to the hospital.

Janet.

Daryl paid for the operation.

Janet sat by my bed night and day until I got better.

Trying to figure out if you were a cop.

A week later, I got the evidence I needed.

And Daryl was behind bars along with his people.

Must be hard to arrest a guy after he saved your life.

Even if it's a scumbag like Daryl.

He made it easy.

Congratulations, Sammo. You solved a crime.

What crime?

Pender's been ID'd as part of a group that disguised itself as security guards

and stole a couple of barrels of acetonitrile from a warehouse two weeks

What is that?

Common industrial solvent. No street value at all.

Then why steal it?

I don't know.

He won't talk.

A week ago, Pender took a trip to the Sierras.

According to his credit card statements, he rented a large cargo truck and

stayed two nights at the Pines Motel.

The plane disappeared less than 100 miles from there.

Could be a coincidence.

It's not, and you know it.

We're going to look at everything within a 200 -mile radius of the plane's last

known position.

We'll see if there's anywhere it could have landed without attracting

We've got to take us somewhere we can call for help. I'm with you on that.

Tice, move that line.

Don't let them... You got it?

That'll stop them.

Looks like they're setting up some kind of ambush.

Who's there to ambush out here?

I don't know. Maybe they're helping Yogi Bear and Boo Boo rustle up some picnic

basket. Well, whatever they're waiting for is going to be coming along this

road.

We could warn them, except we don't know what direction they're coming from.

Thanks. My caffeine buzz was starting to wear off.

There are at least a dozen airports and private airstrips where Darrow could

have landed, but none of them reports a plane that size even appearing in their

airspace. He must have kept the plane right below radar.

And then landed it somewhere where no one would have sounded an alarm.

One of these old military bases.

That's where I'd go to hide a plane that big.

We need satellite photos of this region, the most recent ones you have.

Here? That's nowhere near where the plane went down. You're not going to

anything there. No.

I'll try.

Those images have been classified.

Classified? How come?

I do not have access to that level of information.

Well, then send a plane to fly over the area.

I can't. That airspace has been declared restricted as of this morning.

Why? I don't have access to that information.

All right, look, I know someone at the FBI field office, okay? Maybe he can

a couple of calls and get us the security clearance we need.

Damo. Toa and Grace are out there.

I want to let them die.

Back off! Back off, all of you!

Let him go.

What's going on over there? Let him go.

There's one good reason why I shouldn't have you arrested for assaulting a

federal officer.

And you for impeding a federal investigation.

Shama was right.

It wasn't a crash. That plane was diverted. And it had something to do

restricted area you won't tell us about.

What I'm about to tell you is classified, and I'm doing this as a

then I'm having you both escorted from the building. Is that clear?

What are you hiding?

The area that you're interested in is close to all land and air travel because

there's an army convoy going through there in the morning.

It must be very valuable.

No, just controversial.

It's a load of methylphosphate dichloride that's being taken across

disposal.

The public tends to get a little twitchy when we drive large amounts of

pesticide past their front door.

I can't think why.

If there's an accident, a few people might get sick, but it's not going to

anybody.

At least not for 40 or 50 years anyway. I'm satisfied.

What happens when you mix this pesticide with an industrial solvent like a beta

-nitrile?

You create A232.

Binary nerve gas more deadly than sarin of the X.

Less than a drop could kill everybody in this building in about four seconds.

Why?

Last week, a friend of Darrow's.

delivered several barrels of the solvent to the Sierra.

Which means Daryl has A232 and a plane.

Not yet, he doesn't.

Better stop that convoy. What if we're already too late?

If Daryl sprays that over a city, five minutes later there won't be a single

living creature left.

I checked out that list of Darrow's followers.

They're all gone. They've left the city.

Now we know where Darrow will strike.

Look at this. Over here.

Satellite photo of the area.

What is this?

It's an abandoned airstrip. Used to belong to the Air National Guard. It was

shut down by budget tax years ago.

Check this out.

Picture shows fresh tire tracks leading to the hangar.

Darrow is there.

And you can bet Pender had the solvent waiting when the plane touched down.

We don't have much time. The landing trip is only a few miles away from the

the convoy is taking.

Was taking.

I had the convoy stopped.

It's safe. Whatever Darrow was planning, it's over.

Got federal agents moving in. Our job now is to go in and rescue your people.

We want to be there.

Yeah, I thought you might say that.

We got a chopper waiting on the roof. Come on, let's go.

You okay?

Apparently not.

What happened to my arm?

It broke in the fall.

It's okay.

I'll just walk it off.

How long have I been out?

All night.

But you didn't miss anything. Except proof that you can't break a steel chain

with a rock.

Maybe it'll be of more use to Daryl's head.

Daryl?

Yeah, we gotta go back and see if we can stop the ambush, Grace.

With one good arm between us?

I didn't say it would be easy.

It would be suicide.

Well, you got a better plan.

I mean, what do you want to do? Lay out here till winter? Or find out what kills

us first? Thirst, hunger, or gangrene?

I won't go.

So you'll let Daryl and his guys kill whoever they're waiting for, and do God

knows what? We can't stop them. We can try.

I can't.

What do you mean you can't? What's wrong with you?

I'm scared.

Look, Darrow's just another crook. Except he offers health benefits.

Karen and I got up the evidence to convict Darrow of murder.

We agreed that I'd make contact.

That's when they caught you?

They took us out into the barn.

They gathered everybody around.

And Darrow handed Janet the knife.

He told her to work on Karen first.

He told her to make sure it would take a long time.

It took eight hours.

About halfway through, one of them brought lunch in.

They all sat around and watched while they ate.

Polenta and fresh tomatoes.

Every 15 minutes, Darrow would offer me the knife. He told me that I could end

Karen's suffering.

You mean murder her?

After two hours, Karen was begging me to.

But I knew that once she died, it would be my turn.

That's not why you didn't kill her.

Oh, you know that, do you?

Yes, I do.

And I also know you and I are the only two people that can go back and stop him

from hurting anyone else.

It's not your fault Karen died.

But if we don't go back, she died for nothing.

I thought our backup was supposed to meet us here.

Well, there's been a slight problem.

They're not coming.

Tell me a weapon.

The convoy hasn't been stopped.

That's very good.

The nearest agent is a hundred miles away.

You're helping Darrow kill millions of people?

No, no.

I'm going to help Darrow get the city of Los Angeles to pay us an extraordinary

amount of money not to.

The only people that are going to die are the two of you.

I really wish I could have avoided that. You still can.

Well, please help.

You need these.

You knew?

Who wants to be first?

He knew about Pender.

We never told him his name.

What, you knew this and you let us get into a chopper with this guy?

We needed a ride.

And you didn't tell anyone else?

I didn't know who else was involved.

Well, at least you could have told me I was carrying an empty gun.

I never got a chance.

Right, well, if we get through this alive, we're going to have to have a

meeting about a chain of command.

I don't suppose you want to talk.

We may come back for you.

No signal. I hate the great outdoors.

It's too late to stop the convoy from being hijacked.

But not to stop the plane.

The airfield is this way.

Now.

Don't. Grace.

What are you going to do?

I'm not afraid, Tyrell. I just want to stay alive long enough to get this son

a bitch.

Where are the roads now?

I can feel freedom in the air.

Victory is ours.

I don't need to rail in grave.

But the pilots and the marshals don't look unharmed. That's a good sign.

How do we have a power without guard?

We don't.

They are guarding the president, not the plane.

Pass out the weapons and call the troops. We don't have any and there's no

we can call.

Oh, that's an interesting rescue strategy.

Yeah, isn't it?

But I can get you out of there. Come on.

Very nice work. It's perfect.

Yeah, great.

What is it?

Controls for a dispersal system.

Dispersal system for what?

The binary nerve gas. What do you think?

Activate the controls.

Two chemicals are going to come down through these pipes. They're going to

together and spray it under the wings.

Instant death.

Wait a minute.

Now, you told me that the nerve gas was just a threat. Isn't that what you told

me to get the ransom? Only because I thought you might have a problem wiping

an entire city.

I do have that problem.

And I'm not going to let you kill millions of people. They're not people

anymore. They never have been.

It's time we set them free.

We're going to start the de -evolution. The return to humanity.

Being the animals we are.

We are free to love, free to kill, and free to live.

Prepare the chemicals, everyone. Let's go.

We have to get on the radio and bring the military in. And tell them to do

Shoot down the plane? Then we got nerve gas everywhere.

Then we have to land the plane.

Amy and I will stop the gas.

You and Chris, take the plane.

Turn the plane around tight. We're going back to the landing. Yeah, right.

Give me one good reason to shoot.

Do it.

Set yourself free. Become human again.

You know what I do when I can't sleep at night?

I just think about Karen screaming and I drift off like a little baby.

Let's just see before I get pissed off and crash the plane.

Tell me you know what you're doing.

Don't worry.

I've landed jets twice this time in much worse conditions.

I want to land at 747 at JFK Airport in a blizzard.

When?

Wednesday. You were sitting at your desk all day Wednesday.

I have a flight simulator on my computer.

A simulator?

If you want to do this, give me some help.

Flight 505 calling air traffic control. Do you read me? This is LAX flight

control. I have you on radar 505. Do you need any assistance?

You can start by telling us how to land an airplane.

Please stand by.

Just the feeling of the wheels touching down, the power's unbelievable.

I actually landed a jet.

Yeah, we know we were there, remember?

You know what I gotta do? I gotta write a letter to the software company,

because the program they have doesn't begin to capture the excitement.

Then I'm going to take flying lessons just in case.

Just in case what? You get hijacked by another psychopath?

It doesn't hurt to be prepared.

I mean, you've seen airport 75, 77, and 79. You never know what's going to

happen. Yeah, especially with this team.

So what's next?

Well, nothing.

You and Grace get to go home for two weeks.

Get out of here.

Well, you've certainly earned it.

So, I guess I'll see you in a couple weeks.

Okay. See you then.

And that's, of course, uh... You want to grab something to eat?

I'd like that.

Here's the money.

Ready for my next lesson.

Like my gi?

Very nice.

Okay. Now, hit me.

Isn't there some other way we can do this?

Hit me.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Plane could have gone into a ravine. It could have gone into a lake.

Anything. Could have just gone to Bermuda Triangle.

And if that means risking our lives, then fine.

I'm sorry, he's making all these faces because these flies are landing on his

neck. Pender's been ID'd as part of a group that's broken, that disguised

as... How did you know?

You know about, uh... About the who? Pender. Oh, Pender. You know about the

Pender. Well, you knew that, and you let us get into a chopper with this guy?

I don't know.

Turn the plane around, Blondie. We're going back to the landing strip.

Stop laughing at me, Blondie.

It's Zimbai versus Tolkran, a scrap for the WBA World Light Welterweight title

in the Big Fight Live, next here on ITV4.
