Hijack

Dubai Delivery, this is Kingdom 2-9.

Request clearance to London Heathrow.

Excuse me. Sorry.

Sorry.

Excuse me. Sorry.

- Stop. Stop. Wha-- - I've had a talk with check-in.

They said, "When you get to security, they'll let you straight through."

Yes, please. You come.

Kingdom 2-9, good morning.

You have a Gulf Air flight ahead of you, then you are next on the runway 3-0 right.

You sound in good spirits today, Dubai.

It's my birthday today, Kingdom 2-9.

- Well, happy birthday. - Happy birthday, Dubai.

If you wanna treat yourself, try the restaurant at the Plaza.

Yeah, sure. If you wanna spend your birthday going bankrupt.

I'm serious, Dubai. Half a lobster for one.

You'll thank me, next time.

Well, a very good morning, everyone. This is Captain Robin Allen speaking.

On behalf of myself and my first officer, Anna Kovacs,

- I'd like to welcome you onboard... - Okay?

...this Kingdom Airlines flight to London Heathrow.

Cabin crew today is headed by the very capable Deevia Khan.

Deevia and her excellent crew will be on hand

- for all your questions and concerns. - Sir, can you sit up, please?

- Flight time today is six hours... - Good morning, sir.

...54 minutes.

- I think we're down here. - All right, this side here?

Due to arrive at London Heathrow round about

six minutes past 1:00 in the afternoon, local time.

Weather en route's calm, clear skies

most of the way, including in the UK.

Ground temperature at Heathrow right now is a mighty seven degrees.

- Just a couple minutes delay... - Don't say anything.

...while the final few passengers make their way onboard.

- We should be pushing back... - Philip!

- See what I can do. - ...any minute now.

You okay, love? Do you want a pill?

No.

Okay.

Sorry, love. I'm old-fashioned. Can't help it.

Any remaining passengers

- for flight KA29 to London Heathrow. - Sorry.

Please make their way to Gate B15.

- Thank you. - That's any remaining passengers...

Quick as you can, please, sir.

- Right. - Thank you.

That's great. No hand luggage today?

- No. Just this for my wife. - Okay. Great.

No, wait! Wait! Wait, please.

No, wait. No, no.

- Sir, the gate is now closed. - Please.

Sir, I'm sorry.

It's already onboard. My luggage is already onboard.

- Sir, I'm sorry. - Please.

Miss, how bad can it be?

Okay.

- Thank you. - Okay.

Let's go.

Stop! Just stop.

Look, there's a space. There, David. That's ours.

Stop! You're doing my head in!

You don't get one.

Sorry, love?

The lockers, it's not like they're allocated.

They all belong to all of us.

We're entitled to 'em as much as anybody else is.

No, yeah, I know. I'm just saying--

And there's four of us.

It's not just us and our fruity water.

- We've got kids. - I'm going to tell Mom.

- I hadn't noticed. - Enough.

Sir, if you'll let me. There's some space further up the plane.

Thank you.

Right. Just do that.

Well, folks. I'm told we're just boarding our final few passengers,

and then we'll be on our way.

Morning. Morning.

I'll get back to you a little later during the flight with any updates.

In the meantime, I will leave you with Deevia and the team,

and we wish you a safe and pleasant flight.

Sorry.

- Morning. - Hi, there. Yeah, just under there.

Hello. Right, just here, on this side.

Hey, by the way, weren't you meant to be flying transatlantic?

Wanted to be with my boyfriend.

Is that what they call sugar daddies these days?

How's your love life, Arthur?

Still drowning in offers, or have things finally settled down?

- Here. There's room in first. - Ouch. Okay.

Sir, we're about to push back.

I'm sorry, but my wife's a rather anxious flier.

We couldn't help notice a pair of empty seats in business class.

Sir, take it from me, that's not gonna get you anywhere. Okay?

Back to your seat, please.

I did. Just.

- Right there, sir. - Thanks.

Make the trade. Yeah. I've got to go.

For a lucky lady?

The other way around. From a lucky man.

- Let me. - Thank you.

Cabin crew, doors to automatic and cross-check, thank you.

Kingdom 2-9, you're clear for departure on runway 3-0 right.

Thank you, Dubai. Enjoy your special day.

Don't do anything I wouldn't do.

What does that leave, exactly?

More than a man should admit.

Safe journey now.

In the unlikely event

of the aircraft having to make an emergency landing,

you'll be told to adopt the brace position.

If we need to evacuate the aircraft,

please follow the emergency lighting to your nearest exit,

taking nothing with you.

Your cabin crew will now point out your nearest exits.

Slides will deploy

from these emergency exits.

If the aircraft lands on water,

life jackets are beside or underneath your seat.

Place them over your head, and tie them securely, like so.

These should not be inflated until you exit the aircraft.

During the flight, all devices should remain in flight-safe mode.

Hey.

During takeoff and landing...

Hey.

Can you turn that down?

Please.

Your luggage should be stowed in the overhead lockers

or under the seat in front.

Now, please. Sit back, switch off and stow...

Thanks.

...your electronic devices and prepare for a relaxing flight with Kingdom Airlines.

Cabin crew, please take your seats for takeoff.

Stabilize. V1.

This is us. Look.

We go all the way up here, right over Europe.

This thing shaped like a boot is...

I-- It-- It's Italy.

Then we carry on across this bit, and where's that, Fred?

Can I play Mario Kart now?

That's home!

Seven hours all that way, that's all it takes.

Yeah, in a bit.

Do you know the internationally accepted code for caffeine?

Once for seat belts, twice for coffee.

How does he take it?

Why are you asking me?

- Like I said, I'm old-fashioned like that. - Thanks.

When do they come round with the champagne?

We got off on the wrong foot.

Hugo. Marketing.

UK start-ups in the UAE, it's actually a very interesting area.

What about you?

Let me guess. Banker. No, properties.

Sport, maybe?

One of those agents who makes a disgusting amount of cash.

Enjoy the movie.

Movie?

Or whatever it is you're gonna do that doesn't involve speaking to me.

Okay.

Fine.

Flight deck.

Hey, it's Arthur. Got your coffee.

Thanks.

Hey, guys.

Listen to R & B I suppose, but...

What?

Is that...

I don't know.

You all right, darling?

I found something.

Is it real?

You're asking the wrong man.

What do I do?

Okay, I'll go tell someone.

Somebody in the crew, they'll have a whatsit, a thing they do.

- A procedure. - That's right.

Want me to come with you?

- Do you want to? - I can come.

Maybe we should wait.

Keep it low-key, yeah?

What's your name, darling?

- Naomi. - I'm Marcus.

You stay there, Naomi.

I'll be straight back, tell you what they said.

Morning, ladies and gentlemen. We have now reached our cruising altitude.

Our in-flight refreshment service will commence shortly with drinks,

followed later in the flight by lunch, prior to our landing in London.

Everything okay, sir?

I need a very quick word, please.

A very quick word with my nephew.

Sorry, you're not actually allowed in first.

One minute and I'll be gone.

Thank you, darling.

Sir, wait. You're not allowed in...

Sir.

Problem.

One of our lot left a round in the toilet, and some girl found it.

We bring it forward.

That's my call.

Yeah. That's why I'm here, to advise you to make the call.
