...point eight
pan transit 848.
See you next time.
Have a happy holidays, 848.
Middleborough approach,
pan transit 848 descending
through one-two thousand.
Pt 848, middleborough approach,
north of the airport.
Reduce speed
to two-one-zero knots.
You're cleared
at one-zero thousand,
squawk six-three-seven-one.
Pt 848 copy.
Cleared to one-zero thousand.
Maintain two-one-zero,
squawking six-three-zero-one.
Morning, Jim.
Hey, Peyton,
how's the column goin'?
Have you been
reading it?
Occasionally.
And?
And your picture
looks great.
Middleborough approach, pt 848.
we're experiencing
a little electrical problem.
848, are you declaring
an emergency?
Not at this time,
middleborough.
We'd just like to expedite
our landing.
He liked my picture.
My writing sucks,
but he liked my picture.
Morning, chief.
Don't call me chief.
This is not
the daily planet.
And don't ever
ask anyone
what they think
of your column.
I don't have
a column.
Yeah, well,
I'm beginning to wish
I didn't either.
speaking of which,
Nora wants to see you
and I quote,
"the second she drags
her butt in here."
Perfect. She probably
wants to comment
on my picture too.
What?
What have you got
on your face?
It's part of the look.
Just so you know,
most people pay to have
stuff like that removed.
Middleborough approach,
pt 848,
we got a generator issue here;
We're losing altitude.
848, say again.
I say again,
we're losing power to avionics.
We're gonna declare
an emergency at this time.
Standby 848.
Kb air, one-one-four,
middleborough-
fire control,
we have an emergency
on final approach,
runway 2-1 right.
Macgruder.
How goes the struggle
"to uplift and inform"?
Impressive, Kingston.
You are probably the only one
at "the times"
who not only knows what it says
on our masthead,
This paper's my life,
Peyton.
I thought you knew that.
Hey, hey, hey.
What's your hurry?
Why don't you pull up a step,
chat for a minute?
I can't. I've been called
to the principal's office.
What're you doing
out here anyway?
Smokin' a cigar.
A cigar?
It's virtual.
What?
I would if I could.
Pt 848, middleborough.
We've got you at 20 Miles
straight in.
Descend to five thousand.
We seem to be getting fumes
in the cockpit;
could be an electrical fire.
848, you're cleared to land
on runway two-one right.
Winds are variable,
three knots.
Altimeter two-niner-niner one.
Got your message.
Good. Sit down.
Sounded kind of urgent.
Well, results are in
from the last readers' survey
and the corporate
bean counters
have made some
recommendations.
Such as?
Such as dumping
your column.
They can't do that.
Please, of course they can.
Look at these numbers.
Out of our four regular
features,
your column ranks
the lowest.
How many emails
do you get a week?
Dozens.
When Emma Duncan
wrote the column
she got a thousand.
In the ten months
since she died
and you took over
"the heart healer",
your readership
has steadily declined.
My column is filled
with good,
practical information.
Which is fine
for the style section.
During your time there,
your writing was excellent.
But when you asked
for your own column
and this became available,
I told you
you'd have to do more,
you'd have to give it
your all.
I am!
You're not!
You're not giving it
that part of you it needs
to attract a following.
"The heart healer"
has no heart.
You're not touching
your readers.
Pt 848, middleborough,
we have you at
six Miles on final.
Do you have
visual contact?
pt 848, say again.
Everybody in life jackets now!
- We've got fire on-board.
- I repeat...
Emergency equipment is deployed
and standing by.
We have you at four Miles.
Maintain descent.
Pan transit 848,
middleborough.
Pt 848, middleborough,
acknowledge.
Pt 848, middleborough,
acknowledge!
Christmas is in three weeks.
If you can't hook your readers
during the holidays
you never will.
Excuse me, Nora.
A pan transit jet
just crashed off the coast.
Oh my God.
Improve these numbers
by Christmas...
Or you're out.
flying towards jfk,
experienced a catastrophic
electrical failure
and crashed into the ocean,
just off middleborough,
north Carolina...
You okay?
A pan transit spokesman
reported one hundred and-
the airline just released
the passenger list;
I knew a couple of people
on that flight.
Oh God, king,
I'm sorry.
Tom Harold and his wife.
He was the pitching coach
at state
when I played for him
And I thought I was having
a bad day.
You want to grab a coffee,
have that chat now?
Chat, yes.
Coffee...
No.
He was the best damn coach
and teacher I ever had.
And here you go.
thank you.
Cool wife, too.
Adrienne.
She insisted
that he take her
to no less than
two Broadway shows
every year.
That's probably why
they were in New York.
I wonder...
If they did know.
What?
Your friends,
the other people on the plane -
I wonder if they knew
they were gonna die?
jeez, macgruder,
morbid much?
I'm sorry.
I just can't stop
thinking about it.
You know?
I mean, was it sudden?
Did they all die instantly?
Or did they have
some time...
To say goodbye,
to say "I love you",
hold each other
