Nothing string, not on our radar, and not on our it for rent. One, 747, and

100 or so assorted American citizens.

50 million for the package, or they're dead. You pay, and you'll probably never

see any of those people again.

Something's wrong. That rocket tore up our plot. Everything's jammed.

on course.

Which course?

The one we bounced off a second ago?

Or the one we're bouncing around on?

Or the one that we're about to slam into now?

National weather is a special survey three by a heading of 056

over Bravo San Martin.

Hurricane Kim is unstable.

Winds 100 knots.

Drip right.

Degree 40 at 8,000. Do your reading.

Special Survey 3, loud and clear.

You guys, come on in. We got the toddies hot.

A big thanks.

We're a little late for a win.

Hey, you do a great job on these emergencies.

How come we never see you?

Because we're too modest to accept.

Out!

I said I'm coming.

No, I told you, I'm coming alone.

Mom, I'm sorry, there is no Mr. Right just yet.

No, no, it's not Daddy's fault for teaching me how to fly.

Mom, a lot of girls fly.

Who?

The Flying Nun, Wonder Woman, Peter Pan.

Okay, I know Peter Pan was a boy, but Sandy Duncan played him.

Mom, I'll be there, all right?

Mom! I know I can't have a baby with a helicopter, okay?

Goodbye.

Hey, explain these in an hour.

You know what?

I think it's real unfair for me to walk out on my job for some personal event.

Personal? Your sister's getting married.

Well, whose fault is that?

You check the ranger. I'll get her dressed.

Well, you know, figuratively speaking.

I always see my own girls off to a fashion show, regardless of where it is.

After all, they're my rags, and I want them hung from my bones.

Voila.

Attention, all passengers on Trans-Pacific Airlines flight 322 for

Portland and Seattle... What do you think, Ingrid?

What does your crystal ball say?

Oh, we're a small airline.

But after you get finished telling those bankers in Dallas what for, we'll be a

big airline.

Oh, we need 100 million.

Edward, they say airports are a place where people say things because they're

forced to say them quickly.

Oh, yeah.

And I... Huh?

Well, I, um...

This is a momentous occasion.

Ingrid Kendall is at a loss for words.

Will I, um... I just wanted to say I know you'll get the money. If anybody

can.

You're very good for me, Ingrid.

I don't know what I'd do without you.

No need to find out.

Will you stop shoving me?

You'll miss your plane. Wouldn't that be too bad? Caitlin, you're going to that

wedding. Yeah.

I don't know why I have to go to Texas to be told what's wrong with me. I could

stay at Santini Air. Yeah.

Into your pockets, please.

Hey, you're doing all right.

What are these things?

Wedding presents.

She's a Texan.

Thanks, huh?

Oh, come on, guys, don't make me go.

Ah, you'll love it. Sure, you just take care.

Welcome, everyone.

We have good news for you. Our weather is improving.

Please follow me.

Okay, here. Okay.

Thanks. Bye. Bye-bye. Okay.

Oh, excuse me.

Excuse me.

Bye-bye.

Bye-bye.

First class, straight around to the front.

This way, please.

Straight down to you. Not bad.

Um, excuse me.

Oh, any time.

What's your name?

Could you move? What's the rush? We're both going to get there at the same

time. My name's Mark. Do you know karate?

What? I give free samples.

I'm sorry.

Oh, that's all right, dear.

I'm here.

Oh.

See, I'm going to my sister's wedding, and I've got knickknacks for just about

everybody who's ever heard of me ever since I was born.

Is this your first flight, honey?

Excuse me.

You're kind of last minute, don't you think? I've got to check the microwave

for a leak.

I just work here.

Your seat's right up this way sweetheart.

Welcome aboard flight 093 to Dallas. Your captain has requested that your

seat belts be fastened and that all seat backs and trays be in an upright

position prepared for takeoff.

Please extinguish all smoking materials until the captain has turned off the no

smoking sign.

Please watch the flight attendant at the front of your cabin as she points out

the emergency exits which are located at the front and rear of the cabin areas.

If there is a sudden drop in cabin pressure, an oxygen mask will fall from

the ceiling above your seat.

Place the mask over your nose and mouth, bring the strap over your head and

tighten, and breathe normally.

Your life vest is located in the container under your seat.

Place the vest over your head, tighten by pulling the two straps as shown.

We hope you enjoy your flight to Dallas. We look forward to serving you.

You know how breakdancing came about?

Some kid trying to steal hubcaps off a moving car.

But that doesn't take away from you doing your taxes.

They never even called me.

String, we got the same accountant, and he says you're going to go to jail if

you don't file.

A lot of paperwork.

And he's flying up a special attack just to save your neck. Special, huh?

Somebody good with puzzles.

I expect to be a mother one day.

I hope to be a good one.

Do all mothers and daughters argue so much?

Oh, it's part of life, I guess.

I just don't know what upsets her.

I mean, I don't know what's wrong with me. You seem very nice.

See, she's always throwing my sister in my face.

She says we're so different, but I really don't see where. You see, my

sister went to school, and I went to school. My sister dated lots of guys,

but then so did I.

Now my sister works for an insurance company, and I'm working.

Well, I guess we're all the same.

I didn't sleep till my own daughters were married.

Just what is it you do, dear?

Oh, I'm a helicopter pilot.

Oh. Well, I mean, it's no big deal. I fly movie stunts, do a little crop dust

and border hops, that kind of thing.

Oh.

Let's go.

There has been some concern about Hurricane Kim, but so far so good. The

storm is exhausting itself out at sea. We expect a comfortable flight.

Okay, everybody, stay calm.

Hey, what's going on?

I'm in accounting because it's a neat, organized profession.

Direct.

Actually, very uncomplicated.

One and one always makes two.

Why are you crossing that out?

Dry cleaning your personal clothes is not a business deduction.

I think it was a client. He regurgitated on my pants when we hit an air pocket.

Well, you clean your suits anyway.

I wouldn't even wear suits if Dom didn't insist on it.

Oh, the rest of the time you fly in the nude, you must be very popular in some

quarters.

So what about these?

Um, I need the stubs.

But you know, I really don't need them right now.

I need a break.

Could I have something to drink?

Coffee? Tea? Juice?

Vodka?

Sorry I had to get stuck doing these taxes on such a short notice.

Well, Santini and my boss are friends.

I saw you at our office one day, so I volunteered.

It's just tourists. They fly over.

They'll be gone.

Oh, this is a lovely place.

Thank you.

Thanks. Kind of a hideaway?

String!

Hey, String!

Where are you, String?

Hi.

Go down to 700 feet and take a heading of 190.

You know you're going to kill us all.

For 50 mil, it's one hell of a crapshoot.

Flight 093, your signal is... Okay, take out the radio.

Flight 093, come in, please.

Flight 093, come in, please.

It's no use. He's off my scope.

Oh, my.

Aren't those waves large?

We're too low.

Fasten your seatbelts.

Fasten your seatbelts.

Put it on.

Captain?

Captain?

Bonnie, what's going on?

Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to announce that this is a hijacking.

Relax, enjoy your experience, and pray that your ransom is paid.

For now, buckle up.

We're about to land on the water.

Okay, everybody, just stay calm.

with ransom demand of flight 093 from LAX bound for Dallas.

The plane carried 156 passengers, among them the airline's president.

Search operations are underway.

Next, Barney Cabral with sports.

Sit down.

We did it.

I'm scared.

I'm scared.

Now you can't be because that's not your job.

You can be sure that rescue operations are already underway.

She's right.

This plane can maintain its integrity underwater indefinitely.

What do you know?

My name is Johnson, sir. I'm vice president of this airline.

We don't need lies.

Hey, we don't need a party pooper.

Right?

Yeah, we got it.

The light got cut. It won't stop bleeding. Give me some napkins.

Can somebody help us?

Is there a doctor on board?

I'll get the first aid kit.

Hey, you, come here. Come here. You're elected. I need your thumb.

Good, good, good. Right there.

Like that?

Yeah. You okay?

Yeah, I'm all right.

Thanks.

747 and 100 or so assorted American citizens, man, woman, and child.

50 million for the package.

Prepare the money, any denominations. Wait for our next call.

Play it straight or they're dead.

Tony, thanks for letting us in.

No problem.

You guys just keep a low profile, all right?

What really has us up a tree is the fact that even a down plane can be spotted by

a satellite.

This plane is gone.

Vanished. What about an abandoned airstrip?

Could it be camouflaged?

There are just so many airstrips en route large enough to handle a plane

that size.

Why are we talking?

It has to be down somewhere by now.

It could take days to raise the money.

We'd better start.

You gonna pay?

What's our choice?

You want to get cued now and play FBI with a bunch of who knows what kind of

lunatics? You pay.

You'll probably never see any of those people again.

Hey.

You're right, of course.

You know, I have a friend on that plane, too.

We've been together 11 years.

I fell in love with him the day we met.

But I never told him.

He was married and had children.

When his wife died, I cried too.

Then I told myself, Ingrid, it's been a respectable amount of time.

Now you'll tell him.

I never did.

Hey, don't blow that window. You'll drown us all.

We're filling up.

We won't fill up.

No, no, no. We're pressurized. Well, look at it.

We're breaking apart.

Shut up.

The evidence against us is buried on the bottom.

Bad news.

Oh?

There's a storm swinging north.

If it gets any closer, we'll have to call the search planes back in.

Not a trace.

Nothing to check out.

Nobody even has a hunch.

Where the devil could it be?

Come on, let's go.

Listen.

They may have to call off the search.

But we don't.

Hey.

Baby doesn't mind a little rough weather.

Not with Caitlin out there.

Oh, hey, what the heck? Go ahead and eat up. Have a grand time. It's

on the airline.

We're all gonna die here.

Coffee? Tea?

Chateau Brown for two?

before we couldn't be that deep hey hey now it's okay everything's all right

everything's gonna be everything's gonna be fine just give me that knife

Running cameras through weather over large areas without kind of equipment?

How's the weather ahead?

Worse, if anything.

No letter.

Flight 093, this is Coast Guard Weather Patrol.

All call in.

There it is.

Don't answer it.

Oh, you'd better ID.

Coast Guard Patrol, this is Ranger 276.

Ranger what?

Helicopter.

The hell you say? We clocked you doing 800 knots.

We have a tailwind.

A tailwind?

What's the problem?

The big storm is the worst. Can't make up its mind where it's going. Right now,

it's coming your way fast.

You were ordered to call off the search for a while.

Tailwind? Well, we've got a friend aboard.

We've got to keep going.

You have been ordered to come in. We don't want to end up searching for two

missing craft.

What are you still doing out there?

to locate the 747 have failed because of worsening weather conditions.

I never demanded, I swear. I just said get it.

They just caught off the search.

They'd never find it anyway.

This time tomorrow we're going to have more cash than most countries and all

the evidence against us is under 30,000.

Forever.

Cool.

And so we took a deep, deep breath.

And he huffed, and he puffed, and he puffed, and he huffed. But he couldn't

blow down. The house made of stone.

Were you really a policeman?

Now, I said I was, didn't I? I was a policewoman.

Ladies can be police.

They teach you how to knock down a man like that?

Well, only if you have to.

I have this brother who's mean to me.

Mm-hmm.

You want to knock him down?

I bet you do.

Look, the water is down.

I'm looking and I'm looking and I can't see anything.

You know?

I know where they are.

What's this?

Oh, my God.

I've got another one over here.

They're all alike.

Afraid the plane has shifted its weight.

Popped some rivets.

Separated some plates.

Just enough.

Is there any way to get Adam to fix?

No.

Well, how long until the plane pulls up?

Oh, I'd say it'll last a few more hours.

Hey, we're hanging in there.

Can we help?

Anything you can do. Yeah, smile.

Put on a hat. We're facing happy songs, and if all else fails, put on your

bikinis. Oh, shit.

You know, this is getting downright boring.

At least there's good company.

We're not getting out of here. Hey, you want to bet? Fine, we'll get you a tent.

Now put up or shut up.

It's okay.

The plane never put down along this route.

It went off radar. Right here where it changed course. Right into the

mountains. Here.

That's what we thought at first.

But they didn't go to the mountains.

Well, the rest of it's just water.

Right here. Look at this photo. Simple red.

Yeah, and it's just shadows.

That is the silhouette of an airplane.

You mean they went down at sea?

Well, it's all over then. They're all dead. Not so fast.

That plane looks intact.

If it is, there's no reason why those people wouldn't be alive.

Look, we've got a break in the weather.

We've got a chance.

We're gonna go check it out.

Oh, please let it be.

Yeah, we'll, uh, we'll radio back.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Did I say that you had a plane that you could see underwater?

You mind if I tell that to the press? No, no, no. Just say it's some special

equipment we're testing for the military.

Special equipment? Yeah.

Right.

Coast

Guard

rescue.

It was on the radio. Coast Guard thinks they've spotted a plane.

Maybe we should forget about it, man.

Never supposed to find that plane.

We gotta get out of here.

We gotta get out of the country.

What? For 50 mil, we don't get back gas money?

Take the wheel.

We gotta destroy the evidence. Evidence?

Those people are dead one way or the other, man. There's no way they can ID

anybody.

They send divers down, and they remove the bodies, and they find out that four

guys are missing, and they start to check it out, and they get to us.

This was perfect.

We're gonna blow that plane out of the water, and the next time we pull this

job, they'll pay.

Fast.

And we're as close as we can locate from those infrared photos.

If we're right, it's gotta be here.

Where else can it be?

We're on coordinates.

String, don't get your hopes up. Our chances of finding them... No, it just

hit me.

She's missing her sister's wedding.

Try those scanners again.

Okay.

Since that plane went down... It just doesn't seem real.

Ransom and hijacking.

And Caitlin's right in the middle.

Boy, is her mom gonna be mad.

Hey, what's that?

Hey, String, I swear, it's them.

It's them, String.

It's really them.

Air Rescue, this is Ranger.

I've just spotted flight 093.

I repeat,

I believe we have a spot at 093.

Our bearing is longitude 114 west.

Latitude 27 north.

Get out here fast.

Right on 262.

Okay, over you go.

a rescue unit out there within the hour to lift the plane out of the water.

Commander, we are not flying a submarine.

Well, whatever it is, you did an incredible job, sir.

And you should feel proud of yourselves.

Yeah, yeah, sure.

Oh, what the heck.

Did you set the depth charges for 100 feet? They're set!

Okay, let me get a test shot!

Huzzah, Caitlin.

The plane's intact.

Oh, thank God.

Yeah, but it can't keep the water out forever.

That shouldn't be much longer.

Coast Guard risk it's on its way.

We better be on ours.

We're not gonna just leave them.

Well, String, we're practically sucking on dry tanks now.

Well, these mark the spots when the boats get here.

They'll know where they are.

Okay.

The water's not deep enough for that.

Now, Caitlin.

Look, I was wondering, when we get out of here... Yes.

Now, that wasn't too hard, was it?

Yes what?

Yes, when we get out of here, we can get together someplace dry.

That's incredible.

What's incredible? Well, you are.

You knew I was gonna ask you out for a date.

Well, you see, my socks may not be dry, and my composure's not up to par, but my

instincts are intact.

I think it'd be very nice to see you someplace other than this.

Uh, listen, for right now, you could buy me a cup of coffee.

You got it.

Okay. You stay here, sugar.

Here they come.

Rescue ships.

First of them, anyway.

Drop a die marker.

Up a die marker.

Hey, there you go, boys.

X marks the spot.

They're already here.

Shoot it down.

Looks military. Could be armed, man. Use a rocket.

look shorted out circuitry shattered string we got to keep them away from

that airplane

I'd get this cover off if I could splice it.

I've got to keep him away from that spot.

I almost had it. Give me a steady platform, will ya?

Coast Guard ships should be here any minute.

These will be here to bring them in.

It's been quiet for some time now.

Ah, is that a... Great sight, or is that a great sight?

Listen.

There's got to be a whole fleet of ships.

Yeah.

That's got to be the rescue force. We're okay, everybody. My friends have found

us. Everything's going to be okay. They're out there.

My dear, if your mother has any complaints about you, have her call me.

In my book, you are a hero.

Are you a hero?

Oh, darling.

Yesterday's extraordinary drama concluded happily for all passengers

aboard ill-fated Flight 093, with heroic efforts by our Navy and Coast Guard.

All 156 passengers and most of the crew were safely returned to shore... Mom,

I'm sorry I wasn't there. Yeah.

Well, tell her I won't miss her next wedding.

Mom, I didn't mean it that way.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Uh-huh. I mailed all the presents, every one of them.

Okay.

Mom, I know.

Okay.

Listen, I'll call you later.

Mom, who said you're wrong?

Mom, you're right. Yes, yes, you're always right. Mom, look, if I was

married and I had a family and a husband and children, I wouldn't have been on

that plane.

Right.

I love you too, Mom.

Okay.

You mad at me?

Now, you know, maybe your mommy has a point. You know that?

You should be looking out for the future. And there's a lot of eligible

young men out there.

Yeah, where?

Where?
