The Fast and the Fierce

Oh! I'm surprised you answered. Am I interrupting something?

Hey, are you on an airplane?

Yeah. I'm coming home.

Babe. Why? That trip was expensive.

Yeah. Trust me. I know it was expensive.

But it's not really a honeymoon when you're not there.

Yeah. I know. But I told you I was going to meet you

in Sao Paulo in a couple days, right?

Yeah. That was three days ago.

I'm sorry. Work's taking longer than expected.

Look. I'm just calling you to let you know that I'm coming home tonight. And you're

probably going to be busy, so you don't have to worry about

- picking me up at the airport. - Don't do that, Okay? You know that hurts.

Really?

So you hurting my feelings, hurts you?

Miss, I'm not going to tell you again-

- All large electronic devices must be turned off. Now. - Donna. Come on.

Don't hang up. You said never hang up angry.

Can I borrow your phone?

I hate to ask, but my battery just died.

- Yeah. Sure. It's no problem. It happens to me all the time. - Thanks.

You have such a pretty wife, Benjy.

- I'm sorry. I don't think we actually ever met. - No. We haven't met.

Don't worry.

Okay. So how do you know who I am?

I know everyone who created the code for Genesis 7.

- No. I'm sorry, you've got the wrong guy. - Stay.

I don't want to have to hurt you or Donna.

Who are you?

Today you'll make one of two choices.

Either you give me the code for Genesis 7 and I'll give you ten million dollars

in a Swiss bank account and a one way first-class ticket to Dubai.

You'll leave tonight and start a new life.

Or if you don't give me the code to Genesis 7, and your wife dies in 45 minutes.

Maybe less. - Okay.

No, no, no. I get it.

I get it. This is all Donna's idea of a sick joke.

- You know to get back to me... - Yeah. You would think it's all about you, wouldn't you?

You're an Aries, right?

- Okay. I'm done. Give me my phone. - That's not...

I said give me my phone! - I said keep your voice down if you want to keep your wife safe.

First off, Donna's not even here. She's on a plane.

She's in the sky and the plane is set to explode if you don't do everything I say.

He can't help you.

- But Homeland Security can. Let's just give them a call. - Okay. Stop.

Look. You had me concerned at first. Congratulations.

Well done. But-

I don't even have the code.

Okay. The code is at GioTech. And today's a Sunday. Which means I can't even come in.

Yeah. It should be pretty easy to get me in.

So why me? Huh? I mean, I'm only one of the four project managers who worked on the code.

Three. Actually.

Your colleague Cliff with the wife and kid? I went to him first.

Yeah.

He didn't choose wisely.

It could have been an accident.

They won't think that it's an accident.

They won't think that Donna's death is an accident.

When they investigate the wreckage of that plane,

they will discover that all of the evidence leads to you.

And they will even have a motive since the two of you weren't getting along.

If you want my code, that's between you and me.

But do not bring my wife into this.

Oh, she's already in it.

La Vida Airlines Flight 12-24 is up in the air going from Sao Paulo to Los Angeles.

Whether is stays up in the air, it's up to you.

What do you even want the code for?

You don't get to ask questions.

What's it gonna be, Benjy? Make up your mind.

So-Cal Approach, this is La Vida 12-24 requesting timing for landing.

We've been circling for almost an hour.

If I didn't know better, I think you are having a

secret initiation rites for a new captain.

La Vida 12-24, this is So-Cal Approach.

No hazing going on around here. You are currently number twelve for approach.

La Vida 12-24. What's you fuel situation?

We're around fifteen thousand kilos.

Another hour of this... stuff...

we'll fall like a brick.

Stand by for priority clearance.

Roger, So-Cal Approach. Thanks.

I'm impressed.

With my looks?

You made it through the entire flight without cussing once.

I gotta watch my big mouth.

It's part of the reason I'm stuck in this right seat.

Sir. Would you mind taking a seat.

Miss, have a seat. Power down your large electronics.

We're about to go in for landing. I know it's been a frustrating flight.

I know you're tired. Please take your seats. Fasten your seat belt, please.

Turn your phones off. I appreciate that. Thank you so much.

Would you mind taking a seat for me, please? Thank you.

Would you mind taking a seat there, please for me.

And you as well.

Buckle up.

Thank you.

If you can take a seat, that would be great. Thank you.

Hey Miss, do you mind taking a seat and buckle up? Thank you.

And if you wouldn't mind, please. I'd appreciate that. Thank you.

Ladies and gentlemen, if I may please have your attention.

I know it's been a long flight but if you could please take a seats

as we've been cleared for descent. Thank you.

Stewardess!

Yes.

That lavatory is foul.

I'm glad I don't have to go.

I'm kidding. If you'll just stay seated, I'll get it cleaned up right away, okay?

Sir, if you'll kindly take your seat.

I have 50-yard line seats at the Texas-UCLA football game down at the Rose Bowl.

I'm so jealous. I went to UCLA.

I've got money on Texas. The game starts in five minutes.

Well, we'll be on the ground soon, okay?

- Sir, if you will take you seat. - Yeah, yeah.

Don't touch.

Yes.

We got a man down, officer.

God. No wonder with all this circling we've been doing.

How are you feeling? You okay?

Okay. We'll be landing soon.

How are you feeling?

I'm on the ride of my life.

Excuse me.

I don't mind switching with her. Being by the wings might help alleviate the nausea.

Are you sure? We'll be landing soon.

We've been landing for an hour. It's fine.

That's very sweet of you. If we weren't descending I'd buy you a drink.

Come on, ma'am. You'll feel better up here.

Alright. Just take a seat right there for me. Okay. Right this way.

Oh my God. Where's my twenty dollars?

Hi.

Thank you so much for spotting me last night.

Yeah. I've never seen anyone cry at a blackjack table.

I'm a sore loser.

Mm-hmm.

I though you weren't leaving until next week?

Yeah, well, it's not that fun spending your honeymoon alone, so.

I don't think it's supposed to be.

I hope that-

I hope that you don't think that last night I was trying...

Don't. Don't worry.

Women with wedding rings aren't my thing.

Besides, I have a sugar mama I'm not about to cheat on.

- Oh! Okay. - I was just trying to keep you out of much trouble as possible.

Oh, God. What kind of trouble are we talking about?

You got really drunk playing craps.

Security got mad.

I took you to your room. And left.

I'm so sorry. This is really humiliating. I never do anything like this.

- Kurt. - Kurt. Right. I'm Donna.

And your husband is Benjy.

Wow. I do not shut up when I'm taking tequila shots apparently.

They were actually Jäger shots.

Oh, please stop. This is horrible.

Well, sometimes it's easier to talk to a stranger than it is to a friend.

For what it's worth, I don't really consider you a stranger.

You saw me vomit.

To friendship.

God. What a zoo.

I should have never agreed to switch days with Donald.

Donald switches schedules faster than he switches boyfriends.

Hey, I thought we were out of soda.

We are now.

Cheers.

La Vida 12-24, descend and maintain twelve thousand.

Expect vectors for ILS seven left in four minutes.

So-Cal Approach, La Vida 12-24 leaving flight level 2-0-0

for twelve thousand expect vectors in four.

Ladies and gentlemen, we've been cleared for final descent to LAX.

Currently at LAX the weather is 98 degrees with winds of 12 knots.

We enjoyed having you on board. Thank you for your patience.

Expecting a bumpy approach into LAX, so keep those seat belts fastened.

Want to do the honors?

You know it's what I live for.

Ladies and gentlemen,

as we're starting our descent to LAX, please make sure that

your seat backs and tray tables are on their full and upright position.

Also, turn off all large electronic devices and make sure your phones

are in airplane mode until we touch down. Thank you.

So your husband.

You love the guy?

Yeah. Yeah I do.

That's why I have to divorce him.

One down, 19 to go. Let's move that traffic before wind picks up again.

Nancy talked me into having dinner with her later.

The drama queen who works for Columbia?

Come with. I'll buy.

No way. We're going back to the hotel and I'm going to have a long hot bath.

With the new captain?

You've been checking him out ever since pre-board in Sao Paulo.

- Have not. - Have too.

Hey if you don't want him, I'll gladly...

Does no one follow rules anymore?

Everyone, this is a friendly reminder that all phones and

electronic devices should be turned off at this time.

Thank you.
