Flight World War II (2015)
- Ladies and gentlemen,
we have just reached our cruising altitude. This is William Strong, your pilot for this ride across the pond, My co-pilot is Daniel Prentice We're looking at a total flight time of just around seven and a half hours which should put us on the ground in London, England right on time. Forecast calls for clear skies so sit back relax, enjoy your ride. You didn't get that haircut we talked about after your vacation. - It's still within regulations. - Barely. - Sir, are you doing Ok? Here you go, sweetie - Thank you. - Can I get you anything? Another late night, party girl? - Oh, shush. We'll all cross checks at dawn. Been in the air a while. How you doing? - I have still a few more hours to get through. Hey wing-man, you're making me nervous. Something up over there? - I don't know. - Maybe a short somewhere? - Ha. See? All you need is just a little... - Come on, Daniel, disengage the yoke. I got it figured out. Gander center, this is I-A 42 We seem to be having some bit of an instrument problem, we're trying to sort them out. I- A 42. - Understood, I-A 42. - You're looking at clear skies ahead of you in all directions. Let us know if you need assistance. - Will do, I-A 42. Daniel, I can't fly like this, man. Damn it. Gander center. This is IA-42. I thought you said we had clear skies. - You had clear skies five seconds ago, IA-42. It pumped um on our screens out of nowhere. Squack 7700 Do you have any way around this? We're showing it right on top of you. - Ladies and gentlemen please return to your seats. We seem to be... Crew! Secure the cabin and return to your seats immediately. - Shit! - Think we can fly around it? - I think we have to go straight through. - The hatch is rolling. - Oh god. - What happened? - Are you alright? - It's night already? Sunset wasn't for another forty or fifty minutes. We didn't black out or anything, did we? - Oh, nothing like that. - Sorry about that, everyone. We had a sudden storm pop up there. Good news we have past the worst of it. It should be smooth sailing from hereon in. You'll notice that while we were going through that storm, the sun went down That'll happen sometimes when you cross the tip of the Bermuda triangle. Don't worry. You'll catch another sunset tomorrow. - The tip of the Bermuda triangle? - It's as good Sn answer as any. - Anyone else's internet connection down? - Yeah, my phone signal's dead, too. - Jesus, you seeing this? Above altitude, airspeed fuel - But that's just enough to keep us airborne. three-quarters of attack level, fine, but that's assuming we're still on course. - You've got control. Disengaging. Gander center, this is IA-42, we've gone through the storm. But it seems most of our instruments are out. Require assistance. IA-42. Gander center this is London bound IA-42. Do you read me? I don't know what's going on. - Check the backup system. There must be something that's working. -On it. Gander center, this is IA-42, do you copy? Still nothing. You? - We've got one thing humming along just fine. - That... what is it? - Our radar system. Only thing on the plane that wasn't replaced last time we upgraded international airline avionics. As long as that's operational. That's a step in the right direction. - How you doing here? - Oh, good, thank you. - Thank you. - Can I get you something to drink? - Sorry, were you standing there long? - No, that's fine. What can I get you? - A ginger ale. It got dark early, didn't it? - I'm sure it's just because of the storm, like the captain said. - Thank you. - So,what brings you gentlemen to England, business or pleasure? - Both. - We're history professors. ECU university. Theres convention just outside London. - They've discovered some amazing pre war artifacts, and several distinguished members of the... - You didnt have to bore the poor woman. her eyes are glazing over already. - No, that's fine. I just need to finish this side of the plane, but I'd love to hear about it so I'll come back. - I'm gonna hold you to that. - Get out now while you still can. Alright, about the Hitler map of Argentina... - What are you working on there? - Who? me? just trying to keep track of everything. You see, when you get to my age, you have to stay on top of things, because uh... you never know when you are going to get another chance. - Well, I'll let you get back to it, then. - Thank you, then. - Huh, that's weird. - You got some more good news for me? - Take a look. - There's nothing there. - Not a blip. - Is the radar malfunctioned too? - I thought so at first, but the coordinates are moving with us. If this thing were in the fritz, it wouldn't be working at all. - So we're flying deaf but not completely blind? - There should be some air traffic showing up around us. - Ok, so let's make a loop. Try to find someone or something. - Nothing. Butkus According to the radar, we're all alone up here. - Maybe the storm diverted traffic. We'll wait until the radios come back up. - What if it doesn't? We're still a couple of hours away from London. That's assuming we didn't get turned around. Or blown off course. If we duck under the cloud cover, we may be able to find some visual cue from a shipping lane or maybe a message being relayed from a cargo ship. - You sure that's the right move? - If no one can hear us on the ground, that's the only move you've got. - This is Cameron. - Hey, Hicks. How's it going back there? - We're all a little rattled but we're fine. - Good. I want to make an announcement and I want the crew back in their seats when we're making a descent. - Is everything Ok? - Just trying to get away from some of this... uh... high-level wind shield. Just get everyone strapped in, Ok? - Sure. - Everything Ok? - We need to get everyone to their seats. We're making a descent. He says it's to get away from the turbulence. - What turbulence? - Ladies and gentlemen, we'd like everyone to get back in their seats, We're trying to get away from this turbulence so we'll be ducking under the clouds for a bit. Pretty routine stuff. But we'd like everyone buckled in just in case. - All secure back here, captain. - You Ok? - Yeah, I'm fine. - Trust me. When you've been doing this as long as I have, you've seen it all. This is nothing. - Alright. Ok. - Land? The Atlantic should be below us. - So it should be. - Ok. So we got blown off course. Gander center, do you copy? - Keep your eyes open for a radio tower. Blinking lights, anything. Radar says we got small aircraft about twenty kilometers away. But they're all bunched up. - Are you sure that's aircraft? Never seen anything like that before. - I'm not sure of anything, but we're closing in on whatever the hell this is. - It's too hazy up ahead. Could be another storm. - That's not a storm. Looks more like a... fire! - Oh, my God! - Have you seen that? - Oh my God! Jesus... Christ. - What's happening? - Oh my God! - What is happening? - Well? - We've got something close coming in hot 09 Cut the NAV lights Shit! You're sitting duck out here. Hang on! Watch that radar! - Hey, What... what's going on? - What's happening is we're going to get shot down just like those other planes in the Ukraine. - We deserve to know what's happening. - As soon as the captain has everything under control. I'm sure that He'll inform us as to exactly... - Hey, I just want... I'm trying to get some answers, Ok? - As soon as we know what's going on, sir, we'll let you know. - What? No! No! We want answers. - Sir, let... go of me. - Sir. If you don't sit down, we will have to restrain you. Now, sit down! - Fine. - Strong. - Will, what's going on? - We're trying to get a handle of this. Is everyone Ok back there? - Everyone's fine... just confused and concerned. - Let me address the plane. We'll let you know as soon as we can. Just keep everybody calm, Ok? - Looks like we're clear. Nothing anywhere close. - I'm gonna keep putting some distance between us and them. In a few minutes we'll try to duck below again, Ok? - What? Will, that didn't work out so great last time! - We also don't know where we are. Without instruments, all we got are the landmarks and we can't find them from above the clouds. Ladies and gentlemen Our party is without scare. We've got blown off course it might have been because of that storm, but appear to be out of danger. We ask all of you to please bear with us and stay calm, the flight crew's here to help. - Excuse me. Sorry. - No, no problem. How can I help you? - We were actually hoping we could help you. - Sorry, gentlemen. I don't have time right now, it'll have to wait. - Captain, it's Cameron. - This isn't the best time to talk. - Captain, my name is Bennett and this is my colleague Dale. - You can't be in the cockpit. Hicks, get them out of here. Roger room, We need some help! Do you know what kind of aircraft that was back there? - I want you guys back in your seats. - They were Junkers, JU-88s A couple of Hinklers H111, sir! - I made it very clear. - No one's made crop planes like that since 1945! - You have to listen to us! There's no way those planes can still be flying. - You seem to be flying without your instruments, captain. - Are you doing all this? - No, no of course not. We can see they're down. - We are flying without most of them. - Everything that talk through is satellite. The radar is the only thing that's working. Complete signal loss. Almost as if there are no satellites. - You have thirty seconds. - Is your radio working? - I'm getting some static but... - You haven't been able to contact anyone since you passed through. - Something like that. - That's because there weren't many allied radio towers on the western front... ...in 1940. - Hey... Take it easy. Try to sleep. - I can't sleep now. - Me neither. That's odd. - Based on the coastline, the planes, we believe we just flew through the bombing of St. Azair. - June 1940 massive German bombing on the west coast of France. - I don't have time for this. Get this conspiracy theorist back on his seat. - Wait. We can help you figure out where we are. If you dip back where all the clouds get, we do know a little bit about the geography of World War II - Ok... Ok... you guys can help out. But get back to your seats now. - Of course, Captain. - And at a lower altitude. You'll be better off picking up weaker frequencies... - I don't want to hear anything about time travel, Ok? Let's just figure out where we are first. - Even though it looks outdated, that radar is more advanced than anything the Germans are using at this point. - Enough... Now get back to your seats. - The point is, that radar will keep you one step ahead if we come across another one of those again. - Even if you were right, which is a massive, massive if, How do you propose we get back, huh? - We look for another weather anomaly. If one of these things brought us here, another one should be able to bring us back. - So we look for another storm? - Yeah. - Can you get our new friends back to their seats, please? - Yeah, right now. Gentlemen. - And hey... All of you... not a word. To anyone. Ok? - Ok. - Gentlemen. - We're having electrical issues. - What about the planes? And the bombs? - I just don't want anyone to panic, Ok? - Can you handle it? - Captain? - We'll get through this. I've flown with you a million times, you've never let me down once! - We will be making another controlled descent but there is nothing to worry about. Thank you for your cooperation and patience. - I don't see how you can make that plan work. - It makes sense, look, it's logical... And when exactly do you think physics agrees to that? Shut up. I'm telling you it's gonna work. - You can't know that. Ok. - Can I help you sir? - What'd the captain say? - You heard him. We're moving to a lower altitude, to access the situation. - Ok... But what's going on? - I assure you,sir... you'll know when everyone else does. Now please let go of my arm. Thank you. I promise you... if you touch me again, You're going to have an entirely different set of problems for you to deal with. - Ok, if we can pick out any landmarks at all... - It's gonna be tricky. Without the twenty-first century pollution, there's... you're... you're certain that that was Saint Azaire? - It was the only coastline bombing of that scope in 1940. - Alight. Alright. Get me some pencils. A scheduler. - Ok. - Let's keep an eye out for storms. - Don't you start. - Time travel storm chasing, this is insane. - I know. None of this makes any sense. It will start to make sense once we know where we are, so let's focus on that for now, Ok? Mayday. This is IA flight 42 out of Dallas. Open transition to anyone. We were end route to Heathrow and got blown off course. Looking for assistance. Repeat This is IA flight 42 Mayday. Is anyone out there? Over. - We're clear for miles according to the radar. Let's try to figure out where the hell we are. - Hey, over there. Is that a river? - Eh... maybe? Sketch it anyway. This is unbelievable, I mean... right now, below us, the invasion is in full swing. - If this really is June Hitler is about halfway through the tour of his forces. Another week from now, it'll be Paris. - Shouldn't there be lights? Cities? - Probably just a power outage. It'll explain why we can't hear anyone. Repeat. This is flight 42. If anyone can hear me, please acknowledge. - indistinctly speaking French French, I think. Maybe those guys are right. Maybe we are in France. Wait, wait wait wait wait, wait. is that German? - Repeat Over. - Hello! This is captain William Strong. IA flight 42. Do you copy? - Fly over international airspace, please identify yourself. - This is captain William Strong requesting assistance. Do you copy? - Captain? Listen, Whoever this is, this is a localized channel. to be used in emergencies only. Over. - This is flight 42 out of Dallas. We've been flying blind. We think we just saw some... German bombers. - Bombers? Are you claiming to be aboard an aircraft? - Yes! Hello? - My name is Corporal Nigel Shetfield. My position is classified, but it my duty to intercept long range transmissions. And it is simply not possible for you to be aboard an aircraft. - Look, I don't have time to mess around. Can you just get us in touch with civilian air traffic control? We need to land ASAP. - Air traffic control? This is a war zone. Anyone who can help us. Anyone. Alright, captain. What branch of the military are you in? - We are... a commercial airline. International. - And you've flown through German bombing run? No, it's absurd. - Look... Can you just help us get our bearing? What is your GMT? - Fine, captain. 17th June, 2130 hours. - And the year? - Uh, are you joking? - Let's all get on the same page, Nigel, Ok? -17th June 1940 Do they not stock calendars in international airlines? If this charade is quite finished, I'd highly recommend you get off this channel and... - Listen! I don't know if you're part of some sick hoax, but we are in distress You're the only person we've been able to reach. - Hoax? We're certainly not. Now, kindly remove yourself from this frequency and... - How do I convince you that we're a commercial airline in distress? - Sure I don't know captain. - Ok... Here? - Here? - It has to be. So if... If that's red, then... then... that means that - Oh, we've got to tell the captain. Come on. - Look... even if this is a hoax, Nigel, or whoever you are, all we've got is our fuel gauge, altitude, and radar that's working at the moment. - Your radar? - You know? Radar detection? Scans the skies, lets you know where other air crafts and objects are? - Well that certainly sounds familiar to the IDF technology we Brits are developing, but but I have nothing like that at my disposal. - Well, that's the only thing that's keeping us up in the air at the moment. - Captain, we think we know where we are. Nigel, I have just been joined by a couple of history professors. They think they know where we are. - I beg your pardon? - We were able to pick out a very identifiable river and surrounding hills. - We've just passed over Rhen in the northwest of France based on the timing since the last bombing, it's our best guest. Uh, we... we're relatively certain that we flew through the bombing of St Nazaire where the RMS Lancastria was attacked and sunk - Sunk? The Lancastria? Even if that were true, how can you possibly... - You're... you're going to find this hard to believe, but we were en route from DC to... to London in the twenty-first century and we flew through a storm or something and now we're here. - This is hard... - Look, forget about that This is what we know. We're up here all alone, and we're in a war zone. Nigel can come by without your help. - What... what if we were able to tell you about the bombing of saint Nazaire? - What could you tell me? - The air forces... Junker ju 88s, Heinkel he 111s Messerschmidt Bf 110s likely prototypes. And the Lancastria. Radio the front. You'll be able to confirm she was lost. - Yes, well, I'll do just that. If you're serious, go back on this frequency in thirty minutes. - Recap in thirty minutes. Call us back in five. - I'll do what I can. God help me. - Show me the route. The two points you've figured out. - Think we can come in the course? - Hopefully Then we can figure out our range. Just under half a tank right now. - Uh, Shetfield. - Coronal, moment. - Any news? - One transmission, sir. You're going to want to hear about it. - Ladies and gentlemen. I... I have information that this flight crew has neglected to give us. - Sir, I'm going to need you... - Get your hands of me. And I know how this is gonna sound. But I believe that somehow we have traveled through time. - How many drinks have you had? - We all saw that storm. And... and the planes and the bombs... She knows. Somehow, we've time traveled back to the middle of World War II. - Everyone please stay calm. There's not- - No! no one is telling us anything. We have a right to know. - Sit down, you're scaring everyone. - You... you might not believe that we've traveled through time, but we're clearly in a war zone. - So what? - So? We're not gonna survive. This jet wasn't built for war. But... listen... listen... Do you know what this means? Right now as we speak, we... we're flying over France. In June of 1940. On the ground, Hitler has joined his forces and we... all of us, all of us... we have one opportunity to change human history. We can kill Hitler. - Ok, and... um... how do you propose we do that? They tried to assassinate Hitler during the war and failed. - Ok, during the war, they were operating on outdated intelligence. We... we know exactly where Hitler will be. It's all here in this book. Everything step-by-step detailed information exactly where Hitler and the SS went. - Ok, they will see us coming from miles away. it's suicide. it wouldn't work. - We're... we're surrounded by bombers. and... and attack planes. We're... we're probably not gonna survive. But we can land this plane we can find Hitler and we can kill him. - Ok, that's enough! - Whoa, whoa... - Let him go. - Oh God. - He's right. - We need to take matter into our own hands. We cam prevent the Holocaust. - We would just need to find a safe place to land. And convince the pilots. - Gentlemen! - Stop, stop, stop... - Stand down. - I would think that you would be on our side, Sargent. We can win this war. - Or you could be making t he whole thing up. But what I do know is you're trying to hijack this plane. And that's an act of terrorism. - I'm a patriot. - Listen, we can do this the easy way or the hard way. But there is no way me and Private Jackson here are letting you take that cockpit. - You think you can stop us? - I don't think you want to find out - We could use you in this plan, Sargent. You could be heroes. - I'd prefer not to fight over this. - Get off of me! You... - What was that? - Whoa, you're not thinking this through. - No sir, you're not thinking this through. Suppose we try it. It's easy to make a mistake. Even when you think you know exactly where the enemy is. Trust me. Say it really is World War II down there, and we make one slip up, just one, The axis will have this plane, the technology, and that book, which will tell Hitler everything. There will be a Nazi flag flying all over the White House all because you wanted to be a hero. But maybe we can change the past, but we can also screw it up. Forever. Now get back to your seat. Shut the hell up. - Yeah? - Everyone Ok back there? - Yes. Nothing we couldn't handle. - We can always tie them up, then. Taking fights at them. Isn't it right? - Yeah, Ah, yes, sir. - We'll keep him out of your way, ma'am. - Thank you. - Thanks yourself. That's why we make fire extinguisher. - At our current speed, we've got about 150 minutes in the air, tops. That's not counting climbing or descending, either. - At least we know where we're headed. We do know where we're headed, right? - We should be just about middle of France. - So if we maintain our course, we should be able to find some friendlies or a safe landing place soon, right? What happened? - Some idiots on board tried to hijack the plane because they want to kill Hitler. Some soldiers on board tried to peace the situation, but passengers are gonna need answers. And soon. - Corporal Nigel Shetfield calling Captain William Strong. - This is Captain Strong. Go ahead, Nigel. - So you're still here. - I'm afraid you're stuck with us. And that was more like ten minutes, Nigel. - Yes, some things take time, captain. I've talked things over with command it's one of the boys in the Western front and while we're inclined to believe you, talking about the time travel you understand. Your Intel about the Lancaster seems to be accurate. And the truth is... This helped us out a lot. I mean, no one on the ground was able to ascertain the extent of the fire power, And you guys would certainly not give out that kind of information. - On that, we are on the same page about something, Nigel. - Yes, well... we could do with any bit of good Intel we can now. After duck! Sorry about that. it's just such a bloody runt. - A runt? No, no... Allied forces evacuated hundreds of thousands of troops. - Evacuated? Maybe you all seen a newspaper? The Germans closed us from both sides. it was a bloody slaughter. Nearly half a million was killed. Cut down. - What is it? - He said that Dunkirk was a... was a slaughter. That's not how it happened. - Dunkirk was a hugely successful allied evacuation mission, they rescued 400, 000 troops. - So if you're right... the past that we're in... is not the one that we know. Sorry about that, Nigel. - Well, captain, I suppose the question is How can I help? - Right now, we need two things. A safe route and a safe place to land. And also any information you have on any unusual storms in the area. - I'll do what I can, captain. What's your current position? - We're near Vier, near as we can tell. Just passed Rhen not too long ago. Heading in a straight line. - You're nearing the German border, then. What's your current air speed? -400 knots. - I hate to say this, captain. But the first thing you need to do is change course. We've intercepted a chat on German frequencies. There's been talk of a rather large aircraft near France. - So, whoever is performing these bombing runs, knows that we're here. Are there any friendlies in the area? Anyone who can get their eyes on us? - I've just got to say we don't know exactly where you are. - What if we were more viable? - How'd you mean? - We've been flying with our NAV lights off. But we can turn on our landing and running lights. - Are you sure about that? Most of our systems are out. - They're analog, right? Here it goes. - Nigel? We've got something coming straight for us. - Uh, one moment, captain. it could just be allies. - Well, we've got company about thirty seconds out coming fast! - Well, captain, there are no sightings of any aircraft in our area. - Gentlemen, I need you in your seats, now. And not a word to anyone. Get everyone secured. - Will, I... - Now. - Captain, just got word that some German activity is headed your way. - All secure back here, captain. - Some goddam Nazi plane. - They've got jets, too? They shouldn't have those yet. - Kill the lights. Talk to me, Daniel. - they're coming in behind us. - Oh, my God. - They're still on us! - I know! - Captain. Will, are you there? - Not now, Nigel. Getting shot at! - IA 42, do you copy? Damn it! - You got a plan? - Yeah. Kind of. Don't freak out. - What? Why? 3,000 feet. 2,000 feet. Will, 1,000! - So long! Pull! - Two planes! Right behind us! Damn! Just hang on. We need first aid kid in the cockpit, stat! Dan's been hit. Hang on buddy! I got you! - Oh, no, no, no, no. - Hold on, buddy. Just hold on. Ok, Ok, Ok... Alright. Let me take a look at it. it's not as bad as it looks. You sure about that? It's mostly superficial. You're going to need some stitches, but it's going to have to wait. You Ok? Yeah... It hurts like a son of a bitch but I'll be fine. How's the plane? - Could be a lot worse. Burned some serious fuel during that move. But not actively losing any, We've lost cabin pressure. I'll keep us below 15,000 feet. - Is that bad? - Definitely bad! - Probably have to cycle it again. Nigel! We've got a problem, buddy! Nigel! - Did the radio get hit? - No, it just got static. I think we're out of range. Oh, boy. - So we can stay in cloud cover and stay safe or we could talk to our friend Nigel and get shot at! And we can't land without our front wheels. Perfect! Captain? - Just give me a minute. - Will, if the passengers know what's going on, maybe some of them can help. We have to work together right now. All of us. - Daniel, can you fly the plane? - Yeah, I think so, yeah. I'm going to need some extra hands just in case. - Stay with him. Take my seat. - Are you sure? - I'm sure. - Ok... - Come on. Come on. - Sir, take your seat this instant. - Keep us in the dark? - Sir... - We need to know if we're gonna die out here. - I need you to calm down... - You haven't told us one thing. - Sir... we want you to keep calm and take your seat. Ok? Ladies and gentlemen, I'm your captain. William Strong. And it's time... ...I tell you the truth. - We're on the move, sir? - Not you. We need you to stay put. Any news from our friends? Not much. Last I checked they were in a Don't fight Jerry's. I lost contact. I fear that... I'll keep trying, sir. - If you manage to make contact, you'll have to gather information about their radar. - Yes sir. I'll do all I can. - If it really is some kind of super plane, better destroyed than captured by the axis. We may have no choice than to blow the damn thing out of the sky ourselves. - I want to apologize for keeping you in the dark for so long. We encountered what we thought was a weather anomaly, but it is something more than that. Some of us, including my co-pilot Daniel, believe that we have traveled back in time. With the assistance of these men as well as my contact on the ground, we've determined That we're over France. These men believe it's currently - That's impossible! - Regardless, We are in a war zone. And we're all in danger. If we stay invisible we'll be safe. The most important thing you can do, all of you, is to remain calm. All we can do is fly and try to find a safe place to land. Do you all agree? As for the landing, The other planes that were firing at us have damaged our landing gear. It won't open. And we're trying to fix it. But I can't do it alone. Is there anyone here who can help me? Who's wiling to go below and help? - Captain? I'm an engineer. We... we're working with hydraulics, right? - That's right. - I'll go with you. - Thank you... - Teresa. - That'll be great help, Teresa. Anyone else? - Es El minimo Que puedo hacer. Yo los puedo ayudar. Eh... I can help. I... a handyman. As you say. - Thank you, mister... - Hector. Me llamo Hector. - Happy to have you, Hector. Thank you. Much appreciated. We're gonna head below. The flight crew is in charge. Daniel will keep us in the air, if there's any trouble he'll contact me. We're done keeping you in the dark. Now we're focused on keeping everyone safe. Teresa, Hector. Follow me. - You know time travel's impossible, right? - Of course I do. - All of things are possible if you have faith. - No puncture. That's good. - Captain, look at this. - Maybe... we can splice - You're on top of things. I like that, Hector. Right, that should... do it. - Stay back, Stay back! Daniel! We've just opened the doors! Try the gear now! - Copy that. That's a negative, Will. - Look that. Look! - I see it! - We have to get that out! Hey Daniel! Try and close the landing gear again! - Did that do it? - Back it up, Daniel! Just turn the light off! Turn off the Nav gear and take out that chapel! - That's insane! - I'm out of better ideas. Daniel! We have to slow her down to get out of the wind! Take her down to 150 knots or so, Ok? Hold on! - Done. I fix! I fix! - Hector, I can't let you! Wait! It's two pilots! It's you. Please. Try, please. - I think that did it, Will. - Hector! Hang on! Hang on, Hector! - Hector! - Hector! - Swing on to the wheels! Come on, Hector, you've got this! - Hector! Come on, Hector! Close the landing gear now! Come on, Hector! Take my hand! Come on, Hector! - Will, is everything alright? - We're Ok. Hang tight. We're coming out. The landing gear is fixed. Thanks to these two heroes over here. How's it going? We've burned most of our fuel in the one with those moves. Got about 90 minutes of flight time give or take. - How's our go heading? - Should be almost to the border between France and Switzerland. Good work, Brianna. I'll take over. - Ok. - We need to contact Nigel. Tell him that we don't have much time. We have to go below the clouds. - I already got shot once today. - Ladies and gentlemen, we will be making a descent. in order to establish radio contact. Nigel... Come in. Can you hear me? - Captain Strong. - Nigel, good to hear your voice! - My God. You broke off contact so abruptly I... ...I feared the worst. How on earth did you manage to lose those planes? - We had to deceive them by going above the clouds. At least now we know where our radio transmission ranges. - What's your current location? - We're just above the Swiss border. We have about eighty minutes of flying left, which isn't a lot of time to figure things out. - Earlier you mentioned something about a... uh.. .weather anomaly - That's right... before we got displaced we went through the center of a storm the likes of which I've never seen. Black clouds and some kind of a blue energy in the center of it. - Right. I'll investigate. Now, the most pressing is your proximity to German air space. I suggest you stay on course. I'm trying to find a potential landing spot for you. And my commanding officer is insisting that I get more information on this... radar of yours. - What do you want to know, Nigel? - Well, everything you can tell me. - Captain, may I? - Sir, this is Bennett. The radar is on the nose of the plane and gives off radio waves to determine the objects in the area. In the cockpit there is a console that looks like a bulls-eye. And it sweeps the area for... for signals, put blips on the screen indicating our distance. That's about it. It certainly sounds simple enough Also sounds incredibly useful. - It's kept us alive so far, Nigel. - Well hopefully you Americans will get involved in the war sooner rather than later and you can help us out in the technology front. - Like I said, Nigel, we'd give to you if we could. William, there's something else you should know. My commanding officer... - Shit! We got company again, Nigel! We might lose you again, Nigel! - Just keep yourself safe. - Will, incoming! - Where are they? - We've got one behind and one ahead! - OK, let's do this. - Will? Will? William! - Hold on! Hold on... hold on... Hold on! How's everybody back there? The passengers? The crew? - Uh... a few wrecked windows and everybody's really shaking but we'll be fine. So... - Thanks. - Let's talk options. - We're stuck. The radar only gives us a small amount of warning. Which leaves our window to talk to Nigel very tiny. - That's because the radar's localized to us. We're the epicenter of the signal, right? And can only track what's right around us? - That's right. - What if we had a radar on the ground? One we could use to track enemy fighters. - That could be helpful, yes. - So? - Let's give it to Nigel. - Nigel's story doesn't make sense. They.. they should have... radar by now. The way he talks, it makes it seem like it's years off. - Maybe this is why we're here. Not to kill Hitler, but maybe we bring radar to the British. We could cut it out of the nose of the plane. - Air drop it to an agreed upon spot? They could hook it up and be our air traffic control. - What about changing history? - From what we heard, seems like history has already been changed. They lost the battle at Dunkirk. Who knows what... what's different out there? This could get them and us back to the history we remember. Maybe Maybe this can fix everything. - Will... you may not believe in time travel, but you said yourself. We're out of options. - Will? - Let's call Nigel and tell him he's getting an early Christmas present. Holy shit, a missile! Fire up again. Again! It's alright, people. Nigel, come in! Come in, Nigel! - Will, thank God! I thought I lost you for good! - You're still here for the moment, my friend. Almost got note to piss fire. Missile. - A missile? from an airplane? No, I think is a surface to air. - Will, I feel I mist tell you... - Nigel, listen... we're about one-hundred miles from the Swiss border. We want to give you a gift. Our radar. Think you can find us a drop site? - Captain, Will, are you sure you want to do that? It is our only way to find a clear path to a friendlier sky. - Will, you should be somewhere near Mets at the moment, correct? - That's correct. - We should be crossing over Berlin-Bresel in ten minutes. That's right. I'm damn certain they're doing this to intercept the radar if you you'll be able to make it your own. - We'll make it. - Then I have to sign off. Ten minutes in the forest in German territory. You can't miss it. - We'll get it to you. - Godspeed my friend. Over and out. - You heard him. Ten minutes. I'll have you and Gary heading down. Take Hector and Theresa with you. Cut the box out of the nose. Buckle it with the screen. Dale, we need to make this plane get a smooth ride. Make something that will make it survive a drop about a a few thousand feet. Ok... - Ah, Sheffield. - You must listen to me. We can't make another attempt to target them. We have to help them get to safety. - Nigel, we've talked about what would happen... - They're going to give us their radar system Air drop it to us. The only way we can get it is if you call off the bloody attacks. - Corporal, call off all service air strikes immediately! immediately! - Yes, sir! - Are these your bags? Do you have anything we may be able to use as a... a parachute? - I'm looking for anything we can use as some sort of parachute. - I think... I think I can help. I picked these up for grand kids. I mean, they leave in London. - Thank you so much. - Get a bag. - Alright. Tie it to the zippers. - Hey Daniel. How to power? - I need a USB battery. Does anyone have one? - I have one. - I... I have one. - Alright. You got it all in there? Got it. Let's go. Let's go! Go, go, go! - Bennett! Made it ten thousand feet. Let her rip! - Roger that, captain! One... two... three! Captain, the package is in the air! I repeat, the package is in the air! - Nigel, the package is away. - brilliant. We're sending troops to capture it now. - Were gonna start climbing now! - Leave double time. Our code breaker is hearing a lot of chatter. You're gonna have company very soon. - Go. let's get out! come on guys, out. - Bush! Now! - Nigel! We don't have much time! How's the positioning looking? - It should be here in any moment. Just hold on. - Go kid go! - Will, we've got the package. It's en route. - It's on route to you? - I'm the closest radio operator to the drop site. - Nigel! You are our guardian angel. - Look out! - Bloody hell, you found it! Will, we have the radar. - Great work, Nigel. Now work fast. We're almost out of fuel. We need eyes in the sky... now! - Uh... There! scanning the skies now. Uh... Ok Captain. Turn yourself easten to Heathrow now! - Are you sure, Nigel? - Yes, I'm sure. Now move! Shit! I can't shake them! - Right oh! Let's shoot these bastards out of the sky. - It really is World War II. It just could not be anything else. - Where did the fire come from? - Oh, my college arrived. - nigel, you beautiful bastard. - You were right. It really is 1940. - Yes, of course it is. We should have clear skies. I'll direct you to a safe landing. I... can't be certain I'm reading this correctly, It's a rather large... blip up front. - Is it another airplane? Should we reroute? - Um... it appears to be stationary. You should be able to see it. it's there ahead. What are you seeing, gentlemen? - it's that vortex. The one that brought us here. It's the same one! We have to go through. We've got about ten minutes, Nigel! - Still trying to head a suitable landing site for you within range. - Well, all I know is the thing that brought us here. We can't make it to a safe landing in 1940. As much as I hate to admit it, this is your best option. - ladies and gentlemen, things are going to be bumpy again. I want to thank you for your patience persistence, and your faith in the last few hours. I'm proud of each and every one of you. - That felt like a goodbye. - We'll find out in a few minutes. Nigel. I can't thank you enough for everything you've done. - That's what allies do, captain. - Take care of yourself. - You do the same, captain. You and everyone of flight 42. - Here we go! - Flight IA 42, Jesus Christ, where did you go? We got you almost direct over Germany. We're flying on vapors. We got to land now. - IA-42 this is TXL tower. We're clearing the pattern and sending out emergency equipment. IA-42, the roadways are clear. Bring her in. - We're out of fuel! - OK... Let's glide this baby - IA-42, choose a runway at your discretion. They are all clear. Bring her in. - Drop the flaps. Gear down. Pressed early. He pressed early, that's right. There she goes. TXL... This is flight 42. We have touched down safe and sound. - copy that, flight IA-42. Welcome to Berlin. - TXL? - What year is it? - I like your sense of humor, captain. Welcome back. - I love Germany. - This Germany. - That's everyone. There's one more gentleman in the back, though. - I'll take a look. You go. - Excuse me sir. it's time to go now. - Oh, just one more moment, captain, I'm... just finishing something up here. Terribly sorry to have kept you waiting, but I'm ready now. As they say, there's no time like the present. Shall we go? Thank you. |
