Turbulence Page #2

Synopsis: Ryan Weaver romances beautiful women before he kills them. Ryan is arrested, convicted, and is part of a Christmas Eve transfer of prisoners on a transcontinental 747 commercial flight. Other airlines at JFK may have holiday passengers waiting on stand-by, but this jumbo jet takes off with a lot of empty seats. Ryan and another prisoner overpower and kill their guards. The few civilian passengers are herded into a "pantry" on the plane and are not seen again until the end of the movie. Ryan eliminates the other prisoners and all the crew members except Teri Halloran. The remainder of the movie follows a "cat-and-mouse" game between Ryan and Teri on the 747.

Don't worry about the coat.

Sit down.

- You really shouldn't do that.

- Shouldn't do what?

Make eye contact with these guys.

You never know what they're up to.

What did they do?

The guy with the dark hair, the one

who likes you... he's a serial killer.

- Are you kidding?

- He raped and killed five girls.

One of the maintenance men told me.

Plus, he said that some cops...

said that Weaver

couldn't have done it.

A perfect argument

for capital punishment.

He doesn't look like

a serial killer.

Did you ever see

what Ted Bundy looked like?

He was a real charmer. Mark Harmon

played him in the TV movie.

What's that?

If it's not on the manifest,

it's not on the airplane.

I swear those guys have seen too many

Dirty Harry movies. Checklist.

Doors.

- Closed.

- Cabin preparation?

Complete. Call for pushback.

This one always sticks.

- Seasons greetings from the cockpit.

- Oh, my god.

We're fortunate to be leaving New York

before this latest blizzard hits.

We still face a rough ride

due to the weather.

Flight time is five hours

and 49 minutes.

It's about 20 minutes longer

than usual.

The latest Los Angeles weather

is overcast skies with rain showers.

Welcome aboard.

Hello, and welcome aboard.

Whenever we fly, wherever we fly,

we at Transcontinental...

Please note that the no-smoking sign

is on. Federal law...

And now, please fasten

your seat belts.

Roger. 321 left Outer Hotel

and Zulu.

TWA 10-1 1 Trans Con 47 heavy.

Flight attendants,

please be seated for takeoff.

Trans Con 47 heavy.

Position on hold... 31, left.

I hate these icy takeoffs.

On.

Checklist is complete.

Ready for takeoff.

Trans Con 47 heavy.

Trans Con 47 rolling.

Power's good. We have

four stable engines.

Trans Con 47, contact departure.

Have a good day.

Roger. Trans Con 47.

Thank you.

- I'll flip you for lower business.

- That's your section.

Normally, but today's not a normal day.

Those prisoners give me the creeps.

I would've thought you'd take them

as a sympathetic gesture.

Yeah, well...

I'm not as patient

as you are.

- Heads or tails?

- Heads.

It'll take your mind

off Stephen.

Thanks a lot.

Something to drink?

Heineken.

Merry Christmas.

Something to drink?

Yeah, orange juice, please.

What would you like?

What do you like?

- I'll have the complimentary champagne.

- Like hell you will.

I'll have a Bloody Mary. Hold the vodka,

the celery and the Tabasco.

If you wanted tomato juice,

why didn't you just say so?

- What's your name?

- Hey!

Teri.

I'll have whatever

you like, Teri.

Apple juice.

- That would be great. Thank you.

- Make that two.

Coke, please.

And you'd like?

I'd like to nail you.
