MAN
He's in the car. Go.
ADVOCATE JONATHAN
I'm not gonna sit here
and dance around the truth.
This case
is about corporate greed
over public safety, period.
SPOKESPERSON CATHERINE
All this innovation and safety
you claim is so important
to you?
It isn't cheap.
ADVOCATE JONATHAN
If they're hurting that badly,
why is the ceo making
over $30 million?
SPOKESPERSON CATHERINE
ceo compensation is based
upon company performance.
ADVOCATE JONATHAN
Company performance?
I'm talking about people's lives
and you're spouting
talking points!
SPOKESPERSON CATHERINE
You're paying for innovation,
excellence, expansion.
ADVOCATE JONATHAN
And what about courage?
Because that's what took
Miles Jennings to speak out.
SPOKESPERSON CATHERINE
Miles Jennings only spoke out
because he was arrested!
DANIEL
Hey, Nora. Are you still at the hotel?
What time is it?
NORA
Uh,
DANIEL
Already? Crap.
NORA
Dan, can you check
if Jordan's gift has arrived?
DANIEL
Can it wait?
I had to finish up this pitch
and I should have been
on the road  minutes ago.
NORA
Well, can you just
look out front?
Look, I don't want her
finding it before her birthday,
it's important.
DANIEL
All right. Hold on.
It's here.
NORA
Okay. Hold onto it for me.
DANIEL
This better not be a phone.
NORA
Do you wanna say that
any louder?
Maybe she didn't hear you.
DANIEL
Whatever happened to kids
playing with their friends
instead of burying
their faces in screens?
NORA
Can we talk about this
another time, please?
DANIEL
I don't know why we bother
to talk about things
if you're not gonna listen.
NORA
You don't even know
what's in there.
DANIEL
I could check your order history.
JORDAN
Is that Mom?
DANIEL
Yeah. Uh, Jordan,
just give us a sec.
NORA
Look, I don't want her
to see her present.
I want her to open it
when I'm there.
DANIEL
I won't.
JORDAN
Ask if I can open the present
from Grandma and Grandpa.
NORA
Did you ask your father?
DANIEL
She did.
NORA
And what did he say?
JORDAN
That I should wait.
NORA
Well then?
JORDAN
Mom!
NORA
Look, "You are my sunshine."
JORDAN
"You're my rainbow!"
DANIEL
All right. I gotta get back to work.
I got a lot to do.
NORA
Love you.
DANIEL
Love you, too.
This better not be a phone.
NORA
"Calm mind,
steady heart, clear path.
Calm mind,
steady heart, clear path."
MAN
Uh, why do I always get stuck?
TSA AGENT FRANKIE
Hello.
MAN
Excuse me, excuse me. I'm next.
TSA AGENT FRANKIE
Sir! You need to wait
your turn in line.
MAN
Oh, I'm sorry. Do you see this?
This is Platinum Select.
TSA AGENT FRANKIE
See this?
That means "back up".
TSA AGENT FRANKIE
Hey, Nora.
Can I have your autograph?
NORA
Uh, sure. For  bucks, girl.
TSA AGENT FRANKIE
Come through.
MAN
You got me down?
NORA
Great.
TSA AGENT FRANKIE
Come on through, honey.
JERRY
Good morning.
TSA AGENT FRANKIE
Good morning.
JERRY
Gosh. You got any aspirin?
NORA
Oh, hot date. What was his name?
JERRY
Tequila.
NORA
Ew.
TSA AGENT FRANKIE
Hi.
ARIEL
Hey. How are you?
If it isn't our very own celebrity.
NORA
My gosh. Since when does anybody
actually read
the inflight magazine?
ARIEL
When your coworker's
on the cover?
JERRY
Yeah.
ARIEL
"When Nora isn't soaring
through the skies,
she's grounded at home
with her husband and daughter,
cherishing the moments that make
life's journey unforgettable."
JERRY
Aww. I might actually be moved.
NORA
Oh.
PARKER
That's so cool.
ARIEL
Oh. Before I forget, this is 
PARKER
Parker.
JERRY
You've gotta be kidding me.
I dragged my butt to work,
but Dylan called out?
NORA
Okay. I think what Jerry means to say
is welcome to the team. I'm Nora.
PARKER
Nice to meet you.
JERRY
Hi.
ARIEL
So? Anything exciting today?
NORA
Um, no, besides a US Marshal
and a prisoner?
No.
JERRY
I'm going to kill Dylan.
PARKER
Are you serious?
ARIEL
Let me guess. First time flying "Con Air?"
PARKER
Uh, as a matter of fact, yeah.
JERRY
Oh, you don't have anything
to worry about.
Except for that one time.
How many people did it take
to restrain that guy?
NORA
Okay, no, ignore him and relax.
You won't even notice
they're there.
PARKER
Okay.
NORA
Let's go.
DANIEL
I'm leaving!
JORDAN
All right.
DANIEL
Don't eat too much,
we're going out later
to celebrate with your mom.
JORDAN
Dad, please tell me
we're not going to one
of those restaurants
where they sing and stuff.
DANIEL
We're going to one of those restaurants
where they sing and stuff.
JORDAN
Dad, I'm !
DANIEL
So?
JORDAN
So?
I'm not a kid anymore.
DANIEL
I forgot.
Make sure to leave
your portion of rent
on the counter
before you go to work.
JORDAN
Maybe if I have my own phone,
I could find a job.
DANIEL
You don't need a phone.
JORDAN
Everyone else has one!
What if you need
to get a hold of me?
DANIEL
We have a landline.
JORDAN
What if I go out?
DANIEL
Then you'd be grounded.
JORDAN
You're impossible.
DANIEL
Aren't you forgetting something?
Don't play the music too loud.
JERRY
So, a teenager, huh?
NORA
Oh, I know.
I was just getting used
to kindergarten.
JERRY
Y'all got anything
exciting planned?
NORA
You know, dinner, cake.
JERRY
Well, I guess at that age
you kinda save
all the exciting stuff
for your friends.
NORA
Are you saying
that Dan and I aren't exciting?
JERRY
No! I'm sure you have your moments.
NORA
All right. Well, someone has
to be the responsible one,
Mr. Tequila.
ARIEL
Don't look now,
but our special guest
has arrived.
"He's always such
a nice family man.
Friendly, mowed his lawn."
NORA
He probably embezzled money
or something.
ARIEL
Stereotype much?
NORA
What?
He just doesn't look tough.
JERRY
Well, neither did Jeffrey Dahmer.
ARIEL
At least we know
what he's ordering for lunch.
NORA
Okay. Playtime's over.
Back to work.
MARSHAL DALE
US Marshal Dale Shaw.
I'll be escorting
this gentleman to dc.
NORA
Oh.
mr jennings, is it?
Okay. C and D.
MARSHAL DALE
Uh, it's not gonna work.
I need a seat
near the center of the plane
for better visibility.
MR JENNINGS
Good times.
NORA
Okay. Take row seven.
MARSHAL DALE
Thank you.
NORA
Can I ask you what he, um, did?
MARSHAL DALE
No.
NORA
Okay.
JERRY
It's gonna be a long flight.
NORA
Yup.
GATE AGENT
Thanks.
WOMAN
Wanna look hot
when you're flying?
Girl, you gotta be serving
that first-class energy.
MAN
Right.
WOMAN
Yeah.
MAN
That's great.
WOMAN
Uh-hmm.
NORA
I understand
we have a special guest.
GATE AGENT
This is Mia.
NORA
Nice to meet you. I'm Nora.
MIA
Hi.
NORA
Hi.
GATE AGENT
She's in B.
NORA
Perfect.
Why don't we find
your seat together?
MIA
Sure.
GATE AGENT
Thank you.
ARIEL
Hi.
WOMAN
Hi.
PARKER
Yes. Just down to your left.
WOMAN
Thank you so much.
NORA
This is Ariel and Parker.
They work up here
in the front of the plane.
MIA
First class?
ARIEL
That's right.
MIA
Does that mean
they're more important?
ARIEL
I like her already.
NORA
Maybe.
But I'll be back there with you
where the real fun happens.
SHERRY
Who do we have here?
NORA
Mia, I'd like you to meet
our Captain,
Sherry Markham.
MIA
A lady pilot?
SHERRY
Is that unusual?
MIA
I don't know. Is it?
SHERRY
You know what this means?
MIA
What?
SHERRY
This means
you are an honorary member
of the flight crew.
We don't give those
to just anyone.
You've been very special
to get one of those.
MIA
Thanks.
SHERRY
And just remember one thing,
there is nothing you can't do
if you believe in yourself
and go after it.
NORA
Come on. Let's find your seat.
MAN
Hi.
WOMAN
Hi.
Hi.
NORA
All right. Here we are.
You know what? Why don't we find
something a little closer to me?
What do you say?
I think you are going
to love dc.
White House, Capitol,
do you like museums?
My daughter loves
the Smithsonian.
Her father and I take her there
all the time.
MIA
My mom said my dad will come
to his senses
and move back to Boston.
NORA
You know what?
I think I have some books
on the city that you can look
at on the flight.
What do you think?
Perfect.
All right. If you need anything,
you can push
that button right there. Okay?
MIA
Thanks.
NORA
I'll be back with those books
in a little bit.
JERRY
I cannot believe you moved
the two of them back here.
NORA
By the time they finish
their pretzels and soda,
we'll be in dc.
JERRY
Fine.
But you are handling
their beverage service.
SHERRY
Good morning,
ladies and gentlemen.
Welcome aboard
Celestial Airlines Flight ,
with non-stop service
to Washington Dulles Airport.
I'm your captain,
Sherry Markham,
and my first officer
is John Price.
We're expecting a smooth flight
with a cruising altitude
of , feet
and a flight time
of one hour and forty minutes.
The weather looks clear
and we're on track to land
in Washington dc right on time.
PODCAST GUEST
No, it's not just how much
screen time is too much.
It's what's all
that scrolling doing
to these kids' brains.
PODCAST HOST
Right. We know kids' brains
are still developing
well into their s.
The constant dopamine hits
from scrolling,
notifications, social media,
it's rewiring
how they process attention,
relationships, even boredom.
DANIEL
Told 'em.
PODCAST GUEST
So what's the solution?
Just rip the phone away?
PODCAST HOST
Well, good luck with that.
It's like trying
to uninvent fire.
The better approach
is teaching balance.
DANIEL
Interesting.
PODCAST HOST
Helping kids
set limits and prioritize
real world interactions.
DANIEL
You need to talk to my wife.
LUCAS
There it is.
Hey, you got me a present?
DANIEL
It's a phone for Jordan.
LUCAS
I thought we weren't doing that.
DANIEL
Yeah, that makes two of us.
LUCAS
Want me to set it up for you?
DANIEL
Better you than me.
LUCAS
What do you think?
They call it 
"minimalist casual."
DANIEL
It's casual something.
LUCAS
Should I change?
DANIEL
Did Mommy do another load
of laundry? Relax.
If they judge us on our outfits,
we have got bigger problems.
LUCAS
Easy for you to say.
You always look put-together.
DANIEL
Because I let my wife do
all the shopping.
All right. Uh, did you finish that LVT?
LUCAS
You bring the pitch deck?
DANIEL
Finished it this morning.
LUCAS
Let's rock and roll!
DANIEL
Let's do this.
PARKER
Sir.
SPENCER
Hmm, what's this?
PARKER
Your martini.
SPENCER
No, no, no.
You must be mistaken.
Martinis are supposed to be clear.
This looks like you've emptied
your bilge pump.
And I think I see
a tooth mark on that olive.
ARIEL
My apologies, sir. I'll be happy
to make you another one.
SPENCER
Oh, thanks. Fingers crossed.
ARIEL
Let me handle him. Okay?
PARKER
Only if you promise to spit in it.
ARIEL
With pleasure.
ARIEL
Can you grab more cups?
PARKER
Sure.
BETTY
A problem solved with inflation.
BETTY
Eight letters.
MARSHAL DALE
Ma'am, turn around, please.
BETTY
I'm sorry. I just--
MARSHAL DALE
Now, ma'am.
MILES
Flat tire.
BETTY
What?
MILES
Problem solved with inflation.
Flat tire.
MARSHAL DALE
What's the matter with you?
MILES
I'm sorry.
BETTY
Thank you.
NORA
As promised.
WOMAN
You're so cute.
MIA
How come those people
up there don't stop kissing?
NORA
Um 
JERRY
Don't look at me, Mom.
NORA
Okay. Sometimes,
when people love each other,
they like to show it.
MIA
I can't remember the last time
my mom and dad kissed like that.
NORA
Why don't you look at those
and I can get you a drink?
MIA
Apple juice.
JERRY
Perfect.
I got you.
JERRY
There you are.
NORA
Thank you.
NORA
If you need me,
press that button, remember?
Oh.
JERRY
You are a natural.
NORA
It's  years of experience.
JERRY
Oh.
JERRY
Is everything all right?
NORA
Excuse me.
Sir, are you okay?
Sir.
Sir, open the door.
Sir, open the door.
There's a marshal on board.
Okay. Hand it over.
You know I can have you fined
and arrested?
Look, go back to your seat.
JERRY
What was all that about?
NORA
Just another cloud cowboy
NORA
that needed to be snuffed out.
JERRY
Ugh, moron.
NORA
What I can get you?
MARSHAL DALE
Coffee.
NORA
Oh, brewing a fresh pot
right now.
Sir, can I get you a drink?
Sir?
MARSHAL DALE
Oh, answer the woman.
MILES
So I can talk now?
MILES
I'll have a ginger ale, please.
NORA
Okay.
JERRY
That's who that guy is.
NORA
Do I really wanna know?
JERRY
Yeah. The whistleblower
from that court case
all over TV.
From the car company.
NORA
The one on trial?
JERRY
Yeah.
Must be nice. People died
and he's getting
a free flight to dc.
NORA
Doesn't look free to me.
No, I swear I turned it off
before we boarded.
JERRY
Uh-hmm. Looks like somebody's
putting a dollar
in the "airplane mode" jar.
NORA
Ooh, spot me? I don't have any cash,
NORA
so 
JERRY
Okay.
JERRY
I'm not made of money, you know?
NORA
I know. I know.
There. All done.
JERRY
You sure?
NORA
Yes.
NORA
It was probably just a scammer.
JERRY
You were saying.
NORA
Hello?
CALLER
Nora Smith?
NORA
Yes.
CALLER
Of  Baron Lake Road?
NORA
Look, whoever you are,
you might think this is funny,
but it's a federal crime
to harass a crew member.
So, why don't you do yourself a favor
and go prank somebody else.
CALLER
Hang up the phone and Jordan dies.
NORA
What did you just say?
CALLER
Fail to follow my instructions
and your daughter dies.
Tell anyone about this conversation
and your daughter dies.
NORA
Look, I don't--I don't know
what game you're trying to play--
CALLER
She's pretty good with that guitar.
Although I see you went with an acoustic.
You know, I always preferred
the electric myself.
Do I have your attention now?
NORA
What do you want?
CALLER
Under the sink, there's a yellow bag.
Find it.
Inside the bag, there are two bottles.
NORA
I don't know what this is about,
NORA
but I don't wanna be--
CALLER
You have  minutes
CALLER
to pour a drink
from one of those bottles
and serve it to seat E.
NORA
What? What's in here?
CALLER
The only thing
you need to be concerned about
is seat E.
You do this one thing
and you will never hear from me again.
NORA
No. No. Why? Why me?
CALLER
The article said you were exceptional.
Are you exceptional, Nora?
You serve  passengers every flight.
This is no different.
NORA
Will it--will it hurt them?
CALLER
You're wasting time.
NORA
No. I need--I need to know.
CALLER
That's for you.
Your husband left  minutes ago
and that means your daughter is all alone.
Consider that carefully
before making your decision.
NORA
Oh, think about
what you're asking me to do.
CALLER
Let your daughter die,
or serve a drink to a stranger?
You now have nine minutes to decide.
And remember, I'm tracking your phone.
What's your move, Nora?
NORA
No. Wait. Wait.
JERRY
I was starting to worry.
NORA
What? Why?
JERRY
You were in there a while.
NORA
No, I'm good.
JERRY
Uh-hmm.
NORA
Yeah.
MARSHAL DALE
Is something wrong?
NORA
No. Um 
let me--let me get that coffee for you.
JORDAN
Hello?
Dad, are you home?
NEWS REPORTER
Miles Jennings, the former
compliance officer
turned whistleblower
in the explosive traction automotive case,
is en route to Washington
where he is set to take the stand
as the state's star witness.
Jennings is expected to testify
that under company pressure,
he falsified critical safety tests
on vehicle systems that later failed.
Failures that have been linked
to multiple fatal accidents
in high profile cases.
JERRY
Nora?
JERRY
Coffee's ready.
NORA
Um, thanks.
JERRY
Oh, well, I can take it
for you if you'd like.
NORA
No.
JERRY
Come again?
NORA
It's okay. I can do it.
JERRY
Are you feeling all right?
NORA
What do you mean?
JERRY
Do you need a break or something?
NORA
I'm fine.
JERRY
Whatevs.
NORA
Hey.
You used to work at a cell store, right,
NORA
before this?
JERRY
Yeah.
NORA
If someone is, uh, like,
tracking your phone,
can they see
if you called someone with it?
JERRY
All I really know
is how much data you get
when you upgrade to the platinum plan.
Why? What's up?
NORA
I was just wondering.
JERRY
Uh-hmm.
Coffee's getting cold.
NORA
Right.
MARSHAL DALE
Hey. Can I get a creamer
or something?
ARIEL
Tell me. How in the world
do you cut yourself
putting cream cheese on a bagel?
I swear, they're just
inventing ways to tick me off.
Wanna trade sections?
Just say the word.
NORA
"Trade sections."
ARIEL
Bunch of entitled babies.
NORA
I changed their seats.
How did he know?
ARIEL
What?
NORA
He's on the plane.
ARIEL
Wait. What are we talking about?
PARKER
Is she all right?
ARIEL
Yeah. Probably just tired.
PARKER
Hmm.
ARIEL
And no more bagels for B.
PARKER
You got it.
JORDAN
Oh, my gosh.
He just posted a story.
I am not stalking. Okay?
I'm just observing
from a respectful distance.
I do not mention him every five minutes.
Anyway, look at his story.
He's at the skate park
wearing that green hoodie.
Did I mention he helped me find
my science notebook last week?
Are you serious? I can barely say "hi"
without sounding like
a malfunctioning robot.
Uh, Mom's not back
until tonight and Dad's at work.
Why?
No, you are not coming over
and I'm not having a party.
I'd rather not get grounded
on my birthday,
thank you very much.
MARSHAL DALE
Can I help you?
Yes?
NORA
Uh, I was--I was just thinking
that maybe you'd like
a refill of ginger ale.
MILES
Yeah. Great.
MARSHAL DALE
Hold up.
MARSHAL DALE
You never brought my creamer
for the coffee.
NORA
Yeah, of course. Uh, let me just
put this down for him and--
MARSHAL DALE
Creamer first.
NORA
Sir, I'll be right--
MARSHAL DALE
Marshal.
NORA
I'm sorry?
MARSHAL DALE
You may address me as Marshal.
NORA
I promise I'll be right back
with the creamer.
MARSHAL DALE
I'll be waiting.
MILES
Knock it off already.
Just give me the 
ARIEL
Don't worry, Nora, I got this.
Go clean yourself off.
MILES
Sorry.
ARIEL
No. Thank you.
ARIEL
No problem, sir.
I can give you another.
What drink did you say it was?
MILES
Ginger ale.
ARIEL
Ginger ale.
NORA
Crap.
Crap.
JORDAN
What?
LUCAS
What is your primary market?
DANIEL
Young professionals,
uh, first time homebuyers in urban areas,
and, uh, environmentalists.
LUCAS
No. Not environmentalists.
DANIEL
What's wrong with environmentalists?
LUCAS
People hear environmentalist,
they think tree-huggers, activists.
Try 
"eco-conscious individuals."
DANIEL
Eco-conscious individuals?
All right.
Young professionals,
first time homebuyers
in urban areas,
and eco-conscious individuals.
LUCAS
Yeah.
LUCAS
Dude, you gotta silence that thing.
DANIEL
I know. Yeah.
LUCAS
What if it goes off during the pitch?
DANIEL
It's Jordan.
LUCAS
Birthday girl
already burn the house down?
DANIEL
Ha-ha, funny.
DANIEL
Hey, sweetheart.
JORDAN
Hey, Dad.
DANIEL
Yeah, I'm, uh,
I'm sitting here with Lucas.
DANIEL
Everything okay?
JORDAN
I'm fine.
JORDAN
It's just 
I was calling because I 
well, I heard something out 
Dad?
Dad, are you there?
DANIEL
Hello?
Sweetheart, are you there?
JORDAN
This is why I need a phone.
LUCAS
See? She already
burned the house down.
Too bad she doesn't have a cell phone.
DANIEL
Yeah. Very funny. Huh.
LUCAS
All right. It's go time. You ready?
DANIEL
Yeah, yeah. Let's do this.
LUCAS
And for crying out loud,
silence your phone.
DANIEL
Oh, yeah.
ARIEL
Nora, are you okay in there?
NORA
I'm fine.
Uh, I'll be right there.
CALLER
You wanna explain what happened?
NORA
I made--I made a mistake.
CALLER
You can't afford to make mistakes, Nora.
Not today.
ARIEL
Nora.
NORA
I said I'll be right there.
CALLER
Lucky for you, I planned ahead.
There's one more bottle in that bag.
NORA
You think I don't know that?
CALLER
I would prefer not to hurt Jordan.
But I won't hesitate to do
what needs to be done.
Will you?
Now, pick up another bottle and try again.
You have  minutes.
ARIEL
Nora.
NORA
Coming!
ARIEL
Nora.
I thought I was gonna have
to break the door down.
NORA
No, I I'm fine.
ARIEL
Nora. I know you.
You're not fine.
NORA
I didn't sleep well last night.
ARIEL
Is everything okay at home?
NORA
Why would you ask that?
ARIEL
I can only imagine
how hard it's been on Daniel
since the layoff.
NORA
He's actually starting a new company.
ARIEL
That can't be easy, can it?
Financially?
NORA
You know what? Let's just get
through this flight, okay?
I promise, I'll tell you about it later.
ARIEL
Well, whatever it is,
you know there's no one
I trust more to handle a crisis than you.
Not even me.
NORA
Especially you.
ARIEL
I am not that bad.
NORA
Uh, you almost quit
when Jerry and Mark broke up.
ARIEL
Now that was a crisis.
NORA
Thank you.
For looking out for me.
ARIEL
Of course.
Anything you need, I'm here for you.
DANIEL
As we all know, urban areas are facing,
uh, record housing shortages,
high living costs,
and a growing demand
for sustainable energy.
Eco-Spot plans on fixing this problem
with modular, eco-friendly tiny homes
that provide and combine innovative design
with renewable energy
and smart technology.
You've reached Daniel Smith.
I'm sorry, but I can't reach the phone.
JERRY
All right. Look, I know,
it's none of my business.
And you're about to be the mom
of a teenager, okay?
Everything is gonna be different.
But whatever it is you're going through,
I can be your friend too.
Oh, do you want me
to take that back to her?
NORA
What?
JERRY
That's Ariel's phone.
NORA
Oh. Uh, she must have
left it back here.
JERRY
Oh.
NORA
It's okay.
JERRY
Nora.
NORA
No, I got it.
NORA
It's fine.
JERRY
All right.
JERRY
Look, I know the two of you
are the vets on this team,
but I cannot afford
to have my butt suspended, okay?
NORA
Relax. Uh, no one's
getting suspended.
JERRY
Thank you. Be right back.
NORA
Oh, wait. Um, since you're going up there,
do you think you can grab
the medical kit for me?
JERRY
I doubt there's anything in that kit
that is strong enough to deal
with whatever you're going through.
But I do have a couple
of special gummies in my bag.
JERRY
I can--
NORA
Medical kit. Please?
JERRY
Okay. I'm just trying to help.
ARIEL
Oh.
JERRY
[indistinct]
ARIEL
Oh, thank you.
JERRY
There you are.
Can I get you anything else?
NORA
Uh, how about a trash sweep?
JERRY
Girl, now, you are pushing it.
Trash. Thank you.
A little bit of a trash.
Trash anybody?
CALLER
You have four minutes left
and our passenger
doesn't have his drink.
NORA
I'm going as fast as I can.
CALLER
You're stalling.
NORA
You're not making it any easier.
CALLER
Need I remind you what happens
if you don't follow instructions?
NORA
No, no, no, I'm going. I'm going.
Uh, done.
I brought you a 
MARSHAL DALE
What's that?
NORA
Um, his ginger ale.
MARSHAL DALE
He's asleep.
NORA
I see that.
Uh, look, when he does wake up,
can you let him know
that's his ginger ale?
MARSHAL DALE
Oh, whatever.
NORA
Surprised?
LUCIEN
I'm very sorry, miss.
Uh, my wife keeps calling me all the time.
Very excited about me coming home tonight.
WOMAN
[speaking foreign language]
LUCIEN
You know what I mean, right?
WOMAN
[speaking foreign language]
NORA
It's fine.
Just put it on silent.
Uh, silent.
LUCIEN
Okay. No problem. No problem. I see.
ARIEL
Oh, ready to relieve me
and babysit some spoiled children?
NORA
You know Sherry, right?
ARIEL
The pilot?
Yeah, I flew with her
at Trans American. Why?
NORA
Um, can you ask her
for the passenger manifest?
ARIEL
Why?
NORA
Uh, I didn't wanna say anything
but there's this guy on the plane who--
ARIEL
What guy?
NORA
He says he knows me
from high school and, um, so 
ARIEL
Oh, and you don't remember
a thing about him?
NORA
You think you can help me out?
ARIEL
Of course.
NORA
And keep this between us?
Come on. Come on. Wake up.
JORDAN
Excuse me.
KODY
Can I help you?
JORDAN
Uh, are you with the phone company?
KODY
Sure.
JORDAN
'Cause my phone went out.
KODY
Oh?
JORDAN
Can you fix it?
KODY
Which house is yours?
JORDAN
That one. Over there.
KODY
I'll be over shortly.
JORDAN
Thanks.
JERRY
Oh, I'm sorry about that.
NORA
It's okay. Yeah.
It's okay. Yeah.
MIA
I'm scared.
NORA
Oh, no, it's perfectly normal.
There's nothing to be scared about.
I promise.
MIA
Uh, can you help me get something
out of my bag?
NORA
Well, you are an honorary
member of the flight crew.
How can I say no?
Okay.
Ooh, who's this?
MIA
Cocoa.
NORA
It's all right.
NORA
My daughter has one just like it
and she's even older than you.
We all get scared sometimes.
MIA
Are you scared?
NORA
No. Because Cocoa is here to protect us.
Okay. Remember to keep
your seatbelt fastened
and it'll be just fine.
MIA
Thank you, Nora.
NORA
Where are you?
Hello?
CALLER
He's still asleep, Nora.
NORA
How do you know that?
CALLER
Don't discredit yourself.
You and I both know I'm on this plane.
NORA
Why don't you wake him up?
Or better yet, kill him yourself.
CALLER
That's not how this works.
Wake him up. You have two minutes.
NORA
Oh, you have to give me
more time than that.
CALLER
And you were doing so well.
NORA
If you are on this plane
then you know there's a marshal
right next to him.
CALLER
That is not my problem.
Two minutes, Nora.
After that, I am sending somebody
into your house.
NORA
I've done everything you asked.
CALLER
What is your move?
NORA
Okay. You can do this.
You can do this.
MAN
Excuse me.
NORA
Oh, it's okay.
NORA
Excuse me.
Would you mind? I have to get through.
CHAD
I've been sitting for the past  minutes.
Now I'm grabbing my laptop.
Do you mind?
Happy?
BETTY
Excuse me, are we scheduled
to land on time?
NORA
Uh, you know what,
I'll find out for you, okay?
BETTY
Okay. Thank you.
MARSHAL DALE
Oh. Everything okay?
NORA
Yup. It's perfect. Uh-hmm.
Ladies and gentlemen,
the captain has turned off
the fasten seatbelt sign.
However, safety regulations require
that you keep your seatbelts fastened
at all times while seated.
JERRY
Ow! What are you doing?
NORA
Something wrong?
JERRY
Did you not check the volume first?
NORA
Uh, you don't think they heard me?
JERRY
Girl, I think they heard you in Dulles.
NORA
I must have bumped it or something.
JERRY
Well, I would like to land
with my eardrums intact.
Please.
Nora. We need you in the cabin, quick.
Okay. We're here.
MARSHAL DALE
He's having trouble breathing.
Is there a doctor on board?
JERRY
Uh, get the flight manifest.
NORA
Uh, I have it.
JERRY
You have it?
SPENCER
I'm a doctor. What's going on?
MARSHAL DALE
He's having trouble breathing.
SPENCER
All right. Uh, bring him out
into the aisle.
Bring him down here
so we can have some more room.
MARSHAL DALE
Oh, oh, okay. Wait, wait, wait.
NORA
Okay [indistinct]
SPENCER
Yeah, go a little bit down here.
JERRY
Stay back.
WOMAN
Is he okay?
SPENCER
It's all right.
SPENCER
Head down here. Head down here.
SPENCER
What happened?
MARSHAL DALE
Nothing.
MARSHAL DALE
He just woke up from a nap
and all of a sudden,
he started having trouble breathing.
SPENCER
Well, he's got a pulse
but it's pretty faint.
MARSHAL DALE
Can you help him?
SPENCER
I'm trying my best. Is there a medical kit
or something on this plane?
PARKER
I'll get it.
SPENCER
Yeah, please get it. Okay.
ARIEL
Captain. We have a medical
emergency back here.
PARKER
Here.
SPENCER
Thank you.
SPENCER
Hold him steady. Hold him steady.
All right. Try not to move.
Easy, easy.
Easy.
Try not to move.
SPENCER
You see what I'm doing?
NORA
Yeah.
SPENCER
All right. Keep doing
what I'm doing here, okay?
SPENCER
Slow and steady, all right?
NORA
Okay.
SPENCER
Take it over. Go.
NORA
Okay.
SPENCER
Hold his ankles down, please.
JERRY
Okay.
SPENCER
Firm and steady.
I'm going to stab his leg with an EpiPen.
All right. Hold him down,
hold him tight. All right.
We'll do this on three.
One, two, three.
There we go. Come on.
There we go.
All right. Here we go.
Watch his head, watch his head. All right.
Help him back to his seat.
Help him back to his seat.
It's okay. You're all right,
you're all right. Help him up.
Wait, wait, wait.
Here we go. Here we go.
Uh, somebody should let the pilot know
we're gonna need some paramedics
when we get to the gate, please?
SPENCER
Thank you.
ARIEL
I got it.
JERRY
All right. Back to your seats, please.
NORA
Yes?
CALLER
You thought I wouldn't
recognize what happens
when you give someone
an overdose of promethazine?
NORA
No, please, please.
Just give me more time.
CALLER
I've given you time.
I have given you nothing but time.
Now, I'm going to show you
just how serious I am.
NORA
No, no, no, wait, wait.
MAN
It's okay.
KODY
Uh-hmm. Understood.
NORA
Ex-military, huh?
JERRY
So why do you have the manifest?
NORA
You know, I was just looking through--
JERRY
Okay.
JERRY
Whatever you are going through,
you can talk to me.
NORA
Oh, it's embarrassing.
I told Ariel not to say anything,
but that guy looks familiar.
JERRY
Which guy?
NORA
A.
JERRY
That guy?
NORA
Yeah, he hasn't said anything to me
the whole flight.
How about you?
JERRY
Not that I can think of.
Why? Does that say
something interesting?
NORA
No. No.
JERRY
Oh.
JERRY
I'll tell you what, I'll take that.
NORA
No, it's okay. I'll take it back.
JERRY
Nora, the last thing you need
is more people asking questions.
NORA
Exactly. So I'll just take it back, okay?
JERRY
Our little secret.
SPENCER
Right now, if you just--
NORA
So what's the word? Are we landing?
SHERRY
I was just telling them
the weather is rough.
We'd be better off
staying the course to dc.
NORA
Well, can he wait that long?
SPENCER
It's only  more minutes,
SPENCER
so I will keep him stable, okay?
SHERRY
Keep me updated, will you, doctor?
SPENCER
Yeah, sure.
NORA
Here.
PARKER
You did have the manifest.
ARIEL
It's a long story.
Just be thankful that it's not
a long flight. Am I right?
SHERRY
There are some turbulence.
ARIEL
You sure you're okay?
NORA
What do you mean?
ARIEL
You've been acting strange
this whole flight.
NORA
I'm fine.
ARIEL
You're lying.
NORA
I just uh, I haven't been able
to reach anyone at home.
That's all.
ARIEL
What do you mean?
NORA
Daniel has a big presentation today
with new investors
and I just want to know how it went.
ARIEL
That's what this is about?
NORA
Oh, like you said, it--
things haven't been great
since he's been laid off, so 
ARIEL
Oh. Do you need money?
NORA
What? No.
ARIEL
Because Rick and I
can always lend you some.
NORA
No. No, I'm not borrowing money.
I just wish he'd remember
to turn his phone back on.
ARIEL
Really?
There's no other phone in the office?
NORA
And his business partner's.
But he didn't answer either.
ARIEL
So you're telling me
between the two of them,
there's no other phone in that office?
NORA
No, they're the only ones who 
you're a genius.
ARIEL
I know. Wait, what'd I figure out?
PARKER
Can I get you anything else?
PARKER
Would you like a [indistinct]
JAZLYN
Excuse me?
JAZLYN
Do you happen to have a phone charger?
My phone is--
NORA
Of course. I'll bring it back.
JAZLYN
Hey!
LUCAS
Not only are we looking at revenue
from the direct sale to customers,
but there are leasing opportunities,
partnerships with municipalities.
And add-ons such
as battery storage systems,
rainwater harvesting kits,
smart home integration.
We talked about this.
DANIEL
Talked about what? It's not mine.
LUCAS
Well, it's certainly not mine.
LUCAS
There's also an irrigation system that--
DANIEL
I'm gonna take this.
DANIEL
Yeah.
LUCAS
Hey.
LUCAS
I apologize,
my partner had a bit of an emergency,
but while we're waiting, why don't I talk
LUCAS
a little about our pop-up?
DANIEL
Hello?
NORA
Oh, thank goodness. It's me.
DANIEL
Nora? Why are you calling?
NORA
That doesn't matter.
There's something happening on this plane
and I need to tell you.
LUCAS
I'm so sorry.
I'm sure Daniel has a very good reason
for excusing himself.
But, uh, perhaps we should
find a time to reschedule.
JAZLYN
Oh, any luck?
NORA
No, sorry.
JAZLYN
Dang it.
ROMAN
Sorry. I dozed off.
CALLER
Sorry to disappoint you,
but it isn't him.
NORA
Where are you?
Come on. Show yourself.
Where are you?
CALLER
It won't help Jordan
if you lose control now.
Your flight is scheduled to land
in  minutes.
NORA
Go to hell.
OPERATOR
You've reached .
All of our operators are currently
assisting other callers.
Please remain on the line,
and someone will be with you as soon as 
DANIEL
Jordan!
OPERATOR
, what's your emergency?
Hello? Is someone there?
SHERRY
Ladies and gentlemen,
this is the flight deck.
As we begin our descent,
your flight attendants will be making
one last pass through the cabin.
Please make sure your seatbelt
is securely fastened
and your seat is in the upright position.
Thank you.
JERRY
Want me to get this on my own?
NORA
Yeah. Would you mind?
JERRY
I got you.
Trash, trash everybody?
Trash. Trash.
CALLER
This flight is about to land
and you haven't done the one thing
that I've asked.
NORA
I wanna speak to my daughter.
CALLER
All you need to know
is that she's safe.
Whether or not she stays
that way is up to you.
NORA
No, no, please. Please.
CALLER
You have one more chance.
DANIEL
Jordan!
Jordan!
Jordan!
Jordan!
JORDAN
Dad!
Dad!
DANIEL
Jordan!
JORDAN
Dad!
Dad, there was this guy,
he broke into the house.
DANIEL
I know. I got you.
JORDAN
What's going on?
DANIEL
I'll tell you everything
when we get to the house.
JORDAN
What about mom?
Dad, is mom okay?
DANIEL
We'll call her together, okay?
And, uh, let her know you're safe.
JORDAN
What is it?
DANIEL
Uh, I must have left my phone in the car.
MIA
Nora, I'm scared.
NORA
I know, sweetheart.
But it's gonna be okay.
Okay. Go ahead
and put your seatbelt back on.
It's fine.
MAN
I'm sorry. So how long do we keep it?
JERRY
Yes. Um, I don't have
all the answers right now.
MAN
[indistinct]
JERRY
Oh. No, I understand.
MAN
[indistinct] next to me.
JERRY
I'm really not sure if I understand you.
I'm sorry.
DANIEL
All right. This way.
Jordan, get back.
MARSHAL DALE
Can I help you with something, ma'am?
Ma'am?
NORA
Uh, something to calm your stomach?
MR JENNINGS
No, I'm good. Thanks.
NORA
No. I think it will really help--
MARSHAL DALE
He said no.
Funny thing.
He was fine until the last time
you gave him a drink.
NORA
Sir, I don't know
what you're insinuating, but--
MARSHAL DALE
Oh. Let me be clear.
I'm not insinuating anything.
I'm accusing.
Why him?
Out of all the people
on this plane, why him?
NORA
I'm just doing my job.
MARSHAL DALE
Your job.
You haven't offered
anyone else here a drink.
She offer you a drink?
WOMAN 
No.
MARSHAL DALE
What about you two?
WOMAN 
No.
MARSHAL DALE
So tell me, Nora,
why is he the only one
that needs your attention?
JORDAN
Dad!
Get off of him.
Stop!
MARSHAL DALE
What's in the cup, Nora?
Because if you don't start talking,
we're going to find out the hard way.
JORDAN
Dad.
DANIEL
Come on, Jordan.
I got her. She's safe.
MAN
Oh.
MR JENNINGS
What the hell, lady?
MARSHAL DALE
I don't know what your problem is.
NORA
They wanted me to kill him.
MARSHAL DALE
What? What do you mean? Who did?
NORA
I don't know his name,
but it's somebody on the plane.
He had my daughter.
He said if I didn't do
what he said, he'd kill her.
No, look at my phone.
If you don't believe me, look at my phone.
That's her. That's my daughter.
MARSHAL DALE
They were inside your home.
It's United States Marshal Dale Shaw.
MARSHAL DALE
Who am I speaking with?
DANIEL
Daniel Smith.
MARSHAL DALE
What's the situation, Mr. Smith?
DANIEL
An intruder broke into my house
and chased my daughter to a park.
I fought him off, but he got away.
MARSHAL DALE
And your daughter?
DANIEL
She's safe.
MARSHAL DALE
Is there any place safe nearby?
DANIEL
Uh, my office.
MARSHAL DALE
Okay. Go.
I'm sending you the number
of my field office.
Contact them
and they'll take it from there.
DANIEL
Okay.
JERRY
Wait. Wait.
What is going on?
NORA
Someone went to a lot
of trouble to make sure
he didn't make it
to his destination alive.
MARSHAL DALE
You should have told me sooner.
NORA
I couldn't risk it
until I knew Jordan was safe.
NORA
Babe?
DANIEL
Okay. Hey, she safe.
I'mma take her to my office. It's nearby.
NORA
Okay. Uh, we should be on the ground
in  to  minutes.
DANIEL
All right. I'll see you soon. Love you.
All right. Get in.
MR JENNINGS
They tried to kill me.
NORA
Okay. What do we do now?
MARSHAL DALE
We are going to figure out
who's behind this.
Ladies and gentlemen,
your attention, please.
I'm United States Marshal Dale Shaw,
and I'm conducting an investigation.
I'm gonna ask each of you
to please get your cell phones out.
Cell phones out now.
Sir, your phone.
MAN
What's this about?
MARSHAL DALE
Take it out now.
MIA
I don't have one.
JERRY
No. It's okay. Don't worry.
MARSHAL DALE
Okay.
Now, everyone take your phones
off of airplane mode.
Can you help me, all right?
You go right there.
And kid, you cover first class.
PARKER
Yes, sir.
Well, you heard him.
Phones off of airplane mode.
Perfect. That's great. Yup. That's okay.
WOMAN
I don't know what--
ARIEL
No.
It's this button here. Slide that.
WOMAN
Okay.
ARIEL
Thank you.
MARSHAL DALE
Okay. Now hold your phones up.
Hold them over your head. Hold them high.
Keep them up there.
MAN 
What's this guy's problem?
MAN 
I don't know.
MARSHAL DALE
All right.
Nice and high where I can see 'em.
Good. Your turn.
NORA
Marshal?
MARSHAL DALE
Yeah, I hear it.
NORA
Well, what happens now?
MARSHAL DALE
There's no way to tell
which one of the passengers it was.
NORA
So they're just gonna get away with it?
MARSHAL DALE
No. We're gonna interview
each passenger as they get off the plane.
This is Shaw.
I've got a suspicious person on board.
Request personnel on site.
Ten minutes, copy?
WOMAN
Hi, can you tell us what's going on?
PARKER
It's okay. It's okay.
MARSHAL DALE
Hey, Parker, is it?
PARKER
Yeah.
MARSHAL DALE
Tell the captain to hold
all the passengers at the gate.
PARKER
Yes, sir.
MARSHAL DALE
Come on.
Ladies and gentlemen,
this plane will be on the ground
in approximately  minutes.
There will be a team waiting
at the gate to interview each of you.
MAN
Hey. Hey. No way, man.
We got a connection to make.
MARSHAL DALE
The airline will re-book all of you
on the very next available flight.
MAN
Uh, no, no, no.
I don't want the next available flight.
I want my flight.
MARSHAL DALE
Are we going to have a problem, sir?
MAN
No. No. I'm sorry.
WOMAN
You're gonna let him push you around?
SHERRY
Ladies and gentlemen.
MAN
What am I supposed to do? Fight the man?
SHERRY
We're beginning our descent
into Washington Dulles.
Please make sure your seatbelt
is securely fastened,
and your seat back and tray tables
are in their full upright positions.
DANIEL
We're safe, my sweetheart.
I promise.
We're gonna get to my office
and call the police
just like the marshal said.
JORDAN
Good.
DANIEL
Well, talk about what happened.
JORDAN
What else is there to say?
He was out there all morning,
looked legit.
Next thing I knew,
he was creeping around trying to break in.
DANIEL
Did he get inside?
JORDAN
He busted the lock on the front door,
came in looking for me.
DANIEL
What'd you do?
JORDAN
The only thing I could think of, I hid.
Remember when we used to play
hide and seek?
DANIEL
Yeah.
JORDAN
You used to get mad at me
for squeezing into those cabinets.
DANIEL
Good thinking.
JORDAN
Well, first chance I got,
I ran.
I grabbed my bike
and I bolted into the woods.
DANIEL
Attagirl.
JORDAN
Sitting in that cabinet,
hearing him walking around,
tearing the house up room by room.
I was so afraid to move, to breathe.
DANIEL
I don't know what I would have done
if something would have happened to you.
JORDAN
But you did come for me.
DANIEL
And I always will.
JORDAN
So, uh, all this,
it's about Mom?
DANIEL
Just some bad people wanted your mom
to do something
and tried to use you to get her to do it.
JORDAN
But she wouldn't, right?
Feel something bad?
DANIEL
The important thing is you're safe.
And so is she.
JORDAN
She's scared too.
I know she is.
DANIEL
Yeah, she's probably so.
But one thing I know about your mom.
When things get bad,
when things feel impossible,
she never gives up.
She fights.
MAN
Just try to remain calm.
Agent's in  minutes out.
Lock yourself in.
Stay safe until we arrive.
DANIEL
Okay. We'll be here. Thanks.
Lucas, you still here?
All right.
The police will be here in  minutes.
I want you to go into the break room.
I want you to wait there, all right?
JORDAN
Okay.
DANIEL
All right.
DANIEL
Lucas?
Lucas!
Come on.
Lucas!
Come on.
Jordan!
JORDAN
Dad. Dad.
DANIEL
Listen, you saved me.
You saved me.
JERRY
Nora, I'm gonna go talk
to the Marshals outside.
Unless 
NORA
No, no, I'm fine.
JERRY
You sure?
NORA
Yeah.
JERRY
Okay.
Listen, if he's out there,
they're gonna get him.
NORA
I hope so.
JERRY
Hey, you coming?
NORA
Um, yeah.
I just need a minute.
JERRY
Yeah, sure.
JERRY
She said she's gonna stay back
for a few minutes.
ARIEL
I can't even imagine.
JERRY
Yeah.
NORA
Calm mind, steady heart, clear path.
Hey babe,
I was just about to get off the plane.
CALLER
Did you really think
it would be that easy?
Surprise, Nora.
You and I have some unfinished business.
We both had a job to do.
You failed.
That means my employers won't be happy.
NORA
Your employers?
CALLER
Someone was supposed to die today.
I guess it's gonna have to be you.
PARKER
What's your move?
NORA
Parker?
PARKER
Parker? Parker's been dead for 
I don't know.
Eight hours?
But don't worry.
You'll be seeing him soon.
Hey!
This is your destination, Nora.
There it is.
Where was this Nora when I needed her?
NORA
Do I have your attention now?

Happy birthday, dear Jordan.
Happy birthday to you.
DANIEL 
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday, dear Jordan.
Happy birthday to you.
NORA
We're not it's on there. Yeah, yeah.
JORDAN
To me!
DANIEL
I can't believe our brave,
clever little girl is finally .
JORDAN
Technically, I've been 
for a couple days now.
NORA
You know what? She's right.
DANIEL
Yeah, I guess we should just--
NORA
Yeah, take it back.
Take it back. Yeah, yeah.
JORDAN
Thanks, guys.
And special thanks
for not doing this in public
where they sing and stuff.
DANIEL
Yeah, no,
uh, we're actually doing that tomorrow.
NORA
Yup, yup. And you know what?
I hear they have
an animatronic animal band,
so it's gonna be a time.
DANIEL
And that was--
JORDAN
Enough.
JORDAN
Present time.
NORA
Ooh.
DANIEL
Okay. Someone's in a hurry.
NORA
I guess she's too busy for this.
JORDAN
Okay.
It's not like I don't know what it is.
DANIEL
This phone happens to be evidence
in a major investigation.
NORA
You know what? We could probably
get a fortune for it on eBay.
Uh-hmm.
JORDAN
Thanks, guys.
NORA
Well, happy birthday, sweetheart.
You're my sunshine.
JORDAN
You're my rainbow.
DANIEL
You know what? Just feel it there.
JORDAN
Yeah, me too, Dad.
DANIEL
Now, don't think
you can be on that phone all day.
NORA
Yeah, there's a limit, okay?
DANIEL
Certain amount of screen time.
NORA
Yeah,  minutes?
DANIEL
Ten minutes.
JORDAN
Two hours.
NORA
Two hours is excessive.
