Plane

-This is gonna be rough. -Yep.

-Hi, Dad. -Hey, Daniela.

I'm rushing to security. Is everything okay?

Yeah, we're fine. Just checking in.

-Sorry. -Are you gonna make it?

Yeah, I think med-checks should go quickly.

I meant make it here before midnight.

You're still in Singapore.

Well, Hawaii is 18 hours behind.

It's just over six hours to Tokyo. Another six to Honolulu.

So, I'll be there with plenty of time to spare.

New Year's Eve. One delay...

Hey, hey. There won't be any delays.

Hold on.

Hey, sorry. I'm running late this morning.

I just need to scan your badge,

and we'll get you through quickly.

Thank you.

Now, tell your Aunt Carrie I'm expecting some homemade haggis,

neeps, and tatties waiting for me, all right?

-Okay. -I'll see you soon.

Hey, Dad.

I'm really glad that we're doing this.

And I'm sorry that it's taken so long for us to be together.

BRODIE Don't apologize. I know you have a busy life at school.

Yeah, thanks to you.

That's my job, sweetheart.

I wouldn't have it any other way.

Well, almost.

-Captain Torrance? -Yeah, sorry I'm late.

It's fine, sir. The flight officer hasn't even come by yet.

-Good. -Oh. Samuel Dele.

-Nice to meet you. -Oh, nice to meet you.

-Happy New Year. -And to you.

-Where are you from? -Uh, Hong Kong, sir.

Did my training at the Civil Aviation Department.

Oh, yeah. I hear that's a great academy.

And you, sir? English, I'm guessing?

Hell, no. I wouldn't lower myself.

-Nope. I'm Scottish. -Oh.

Although I did fly RAF Transport years ago.

Back then, all the sexy assignments went to the English blokes.

I didn't mind, though, because for me,

the heavies were an easy path into the airlines.

Well, it looks like they're pushing us through weather.

Of course they are.

Gentlemen, let's see.

One-hundred and nineteen, fourteen passengers.

Everything cleared. Any questions?

Yeah. Looks like we're pushing through some serious weather.

It's converging here over the South China Sea.

We're aware of it. By the time you get there,

-it should have moved inland. -What if it sits there and stews?

We can push out east, come north over Luzon?

That adds an hour and 18K in fuel.

The flight's nearly empty, so we need to shorten.

Take it to 37. You'll clear that weather.

Good flight. Happy New Year.

Happy New Year.

Do our iPads control the weather like his does?

There you go.

Hello, gentlemen.

My name's Bonnie. I'll be your chief tonight.

-Oh. Nice to meet you, Bonnie. -Good to meet you.

Um, Captain, you're needed in the Jetway.

-Okay. -See you soon, Cap.

Captain Torrance, Flight Commander. How can I help you?

Fugitive extradition to Toronto.

We'll be with you as far as Tokyo.

He'll remain in constraints and be under my constant supervision.

Well, is he dangerous? What did he do?

Homicide. 15 years ago.

Wasn't expecting that.

We found him in Bali under an alias.

And he's been around, I'll say that.

Yeah, this is a bare flight. You're gonna attract a lot of attention.

I don't wanna scare the rest of the passengers.

I'm afraid you're stuck with us, Captain.

All right.

Just keep away from everyone else, please.

Copy that.

Let's go.

-Did you check the back there? -Everything is set back there.

Evening, ladies.

-Evening, Captain. -Evening. How are you?

-Ah, Isabella, how are you? -Hey. Good.

-Yeah. -Good, good.

-Maria. Pleasure. -Hi, Maria. Yeah.

Brodie Torrance.

We're all ready to get out of Singapore?

-Yes, sir. -Okay. Let's go.

Okay.

Okay, confirming 14 passengers.

Fourteen passengers. New Year's light.

I'm sure everybody's seen our special guest at the back?

-Louis Gaspare, 35B. -Mmm-hmm.

What did he do?

I'm sure the less we know, the better.

You know, just keep your interactions with him to a minimum. That's all.

-All right? Good. -Yep.

So, we're gonna get this new year started?

-Yes, sir. -Yes.

All right. Get 'em on board. Let's have a good flight.

-Okay. -Same to you.

-How you doing? -Hi, there.

-Happy New Year. -Happy New Year.

Yeah, just back there.

-Happy New Year. -Thanks.

-Hi. Happy New Year. -Hi.

-Hi. Hi. -Thank you.

-Hi. Happy New Year. -I'm not gonna resend it.

-Hi. -Hi.

They've seen his face. -Happy New Year.

They've... They've seen it. I...

-Gary, I can't make them sign. -Hi, happy New Year.

-Hey. -Happy New Year.

-Hey, how are you? -I can't make them sign.

-How're you doing? -That's your...

Hello. Happy New Year.

-D-F, just right here. -Hello.

You gotta be kidding me? How'd you get an upgrade?

Trailmiles.

I've gotta sit on my own, in coach.

-Happy New Year. -Happy New Year.

They should tell you when you buy your ticket

-how old the plane will be. -No kidding.

Oh, no need to worry, folks.

These planes are pretty much indestructible.

Hey, girls. Happy New Year.

-Hi. -Hi, hi.

-Hey. -Hi.

-I think that's everybody. -Yeah. Good.

-Okay. All right. -Okay.

Excuse me, ladies. That's far enough.

But these are our seats.

I'm in 34D.

It's fine, ladies. That row there is all yours.

Okay.

Do you wanna sit by the window?

Yeah, thanks.

-Ma'am, can I help you? -Oh, thank you.

Ladies and gentlemen,

-make sure your seats... -Excuse me.

-...are in an upright position... -Thanks.

...that your seatbelts are fully fastened

and any carry-on items you have are fully stowed.

Once again, thank you for flying Trailblazer.

-Set to max. -Takeoff trail.

Trim set for takeoff.

And flight controls.

Flight controls, free and clear.

Check is complete.

Passengers all tucked in, Captain.

All right, let's close it up. Thanks, Bonnie.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

Welcome to Trailblazer flight 119.

If your next stop is Tokyo, then you're in the right place.

If you're not going to Tokyo,

then you're about to have a really long morning.

Flight time this evening

is six hours and thirty minutes.

And luckily, I know a shortcut, so we might be there a little early.

We'll be taking off just as soon as I learn

a few pages of this flight manual. Thank you.

Ready for pushback?

-Ready for pushback. -Make the call.

-No point to stress about it. -That's true...
