["One Horse Town"
by Rexford playing]
Things are different now
Drag me out the middle
of your one horse town
Cry with me a little,
baby, won't back down
I don't mean to push it
but you won't back out
Didn't wanna tell you
Things are different now
Drag me out the middle
of your one horse town
Cry with me a little,
baby, won't back down
I don't mean to push it
but you won't back out
Didn't wanna tell you
Here in your arms
I feel so safe
And if you needed,
best believe it
I would be there any day
But in the last month
something changed
And I think you've known
Is there a place
that we could go
No, it can't wait,
don't take me home
Is there a place
that we can start
To clear my heart
[siren wailing in distance]
Cry with me a little,
baby, won't back down
I don't mean to push it
[sighing]
[sighs]
Miss you, Dad.
[heartfelt music playing]
[automatic voice] You have
one saved voice message.
-[phone beeping]
-[dad] Hey, kiddo.
Congratulations again
on making All American.
And I just heard
you're graduating with honors.
I'm so proud of you.
I always knew you were destined
for great things.
Always remember
to go on the adventure,
to travel to that place,
and take that risk, okay?
Talk to you soon. Bye, sweetie.

["Love You Better"
by Tiagz playing]
Baby you the one I want
Oh, look who finally
decided to show up.
You must be the chosen one
I can give you everything
[sighs] Okay. [chuckles]
I am so sorry.
I was gonna
come straight from work,
but I wanted to sneak
a quick run in, of course.
And then I was
absolutely filthy,
so I needed a shower.
And then I hit
some construction traffic
on the way over.
Blah, blah. Take this.
[clears throat] A toast.
I'm so excited
for this trip to Paris.
You've been wanting to do Paris
ever since I met you.
And...
you never do
anything for yourself.
It's all-star track team,
graduates top of her class,
et cetera.
-[Claire chuckles]
-You so deserve this.
Yeah.
Yeah. You know what?
You are so right.
I need a change
and some excitement.
-Hmm.
-You know what?
There's no better time
than right now
because it's right before
I jump into my new job,
and I may not be able
to go on my dream trip
any other time, right?
-Right.
-[Claire chuckles]
Cheers.
[glass clinking]
-Mm.
-Mm.
So don't look now,
but, uh, Mexican Brad Pitt
has not stopped staring at you
since he got here.
[laughs] You mean
the one in the black suit
with his shirt
unbuttoned ever so slightly?
Of course you already saw him.
Yeah. That's the one.
-Oh.
-Cute, right?
-You know he is.
-[both laughing]
Oh, my God. He's coming over.
-Wait, what?
-Yeah. [chuckles]
Uh, three steps away.
Don't be nervous.
Two steps away.
-And he's here.
-[Marco chuckles]
[all gasping]
Shit, I am so sorry.
No, please. It's my fault.
I'm sorry you wasted
your drink on this jacket.
[Claire chuckles]
Actually,
I think you improved it.
[both laughing]
Can I at least
get you another drink?
Oh, uh, actually, you know what?
It's getting late,
and I have a flight to catch.
I-- I need to do
some more organizing
and grab my bags, so...
I understand.
Uh, actually, sure.
It's still pretty early.
YOLO.
YOLO. [laughs]
-Perfecto.
-[Claire laughs]
-YOLO?
-Yeah, I panicked.
-You know I'm a terrible flirt.
-I know.
-[Claire laughs]
-Oh, my God.
-[both laughing]
-That was so funny.
[Marco] Well,
it's nice to meet you both.
-I'm Marco.
-Jessica, and this is--
-[Jessica grunts]
-Oh, uh...
Um,
I think it's time for me
to put myself in bed. [chuckles]
[Claire] Wait, are you sure?
I just got another--
Okay. [clears throat]
All right, listen here, you...
handsome you. [chuckles]
I've seen
all of the murder shows
on all of the Netflixes,
and I am taking a mental picture
of that mug of yours.
[Jessica clicks tongue]
-So...
-Okay.
...don't try anything
under my watch.
-Comprende?
-Mm-hmm.
[laughs] Okay, be safe. [sighs]
I'll be back before you know it.
[Jessica] Okay, text me
when you get to the airport,
and when you get on the plane,
and when you land.
[laughs] I will.
-I'm bad at goodbyes.
-Yes, you really are.
I'm only gonna be gone
for two weeks,
and you have my whole itinerary.
I love you.
[Claire] I love you, too,
and I will see you soon.
[Jessica smacks lips] Hey.
I'm watching.
[Claire laughs]
-Thank you, bye.
-[Claire] Bye, Jess.
-Sorry.
-[Marco] No, it's all good.
-Is that for me?
-Uh, yeah.
Thank you.
Cheers.
["Petals" by darkDARK playing]
I don't know
it's all kind of vague now
It's all kind vague now
It's all kind vague now
It felt like
there was meaning
I don't know
it's all kind of vague now
It's all kind vague now
It's all kind vague now
I miss you now
I missed you then
I can't wait
to miss you again
[Claire] So, uh,
are you just visiting,
or do you live around here?
Well, actually, I live
a few blocks away from here,
uh, off Harper.
Oh, my gosh, that's so crazy.
One of my favorite coffee spots,
Zoe's Coffee, is on Harper.
-I'm there all the time.
-[Marco] Wow.
How have we not
run into each other?
Run into each other
like tonight?
[Claire laughs]
Well, I guess
timing is everything.
[Marco] Hmm.
Yeah, I guess so.
What about your family?
[Claire] Uh, my dad worked
for the government,
so I guess you could say
I was kind of an army brat.
-[Claire chuckles]
-[Marco] Okay.
And my mom passed away
when I was five,
so my grandparents
really helped raise me.
Hmm. I'm sorry to hear that.
It's okay. Thanks.
I-- I-- I don't really
remember her much,
but I do remember
my grandparents taking me
on these amazing road trips
to visit my dad.
I loved those road trips.
[Marco] Hmm.
So you're flying later?
Where are you heading?
[Claire] Paris.
Um, it's kind
of a spontaneous trip.
I'm more of a homebody,
so I have a red-eye
that goes through Atlanta,
and fortunately,
the flight looks pretty empty,
so hopefully
I'll get some sleep.
-Hmm.
-[Claire] I never do, though.
Neither do I.
I know it sounds
kind of clich, Paris,
but I'm going to live out
my favorite movie fantasy.
-My favorite movie is--
-Before Sunrise.
-[Claire] Yeah.
-Really?
I-- I love it, too.
I mean,
it's just two people walking
and talking
and getting to know each other.
It's just simple and effective.
-Yeah.
-[Marco] Hmm.
I'll take simple and effective.
Uh, can I get you another drink?
I'm buying.
Actually, yeah, okay.
I'll get an old-fashioned,
but no orange.
Can I?
Well, you know what?
I will get an orange.
-[Claire chuckles]
-Yeah.
Thanks, Claire.
[Claire chuckles]
Uh, you know what?
Can you excuse me?
I just need to run
to the ladies' quick.
[Marco] Okay, yeah.
-I'll be right back.
-[Marco] Mm-hmm.
[tense music playing]
[sighs]
Thanks, Claire.
Claire, just-- just stop, okay?
You're here to have a fun night.
You said
that you wanted some excitement.
All right.
Here we go.
[sighs] You got this.
So...
I believe we were talking
about how timing is everything.
-Hmm. Cheers to that.
-[Marco] Cheers.
Mm.
I am supposed
to meet up with a friend
who's in town for work.
I would love for you to join us
for a nightcap, maybe?
Uh,
as much as I would love that,
it's actually cutting it
pretty close to my flight.
[Marco] Okay.
But...
how about a rain check
when I get back?
I'd love that.
I'm just very happy I met you.
Me too.
Listen,
since I am going that way,
at least let me drop you
on the way to the bar.
I have a driver already.
Oh, do you now? [laughs]
What is it, again,
that you do exactly?
Commercial real estate,
and I know what you mean,
but it's on the company.
We just finished
a conference for tonight,
and I have a driver.
This isn't an everyday thing,
trust me.
So, please, let me be cool
and get you a ride.
Por favor.
[pensive music playing]
[engine rumbling]
So, we're going to Sidebar,
but first we're dropping
my friend off at...
Uh, 330 North Maple Ave, please.
[sighs] Uh...
would you mind just
cracking the windows a little?
I'm...
You okay?
[clears throat]
-Here, have some water.
-[Claire sighs] Thank you.
[clears throat]
I think that last martini...
Martini.
I-- that drink, it...
I think that that last drinks...
[hypnotic music playing]
[PA chimes]
[indistinct shouting]
[Erica] Don't move him.
[indistinct conversation]
[woman] Why don't we give him
some water or something?
[serving trolley rattling]
[light buzzing]
[indistinct conversations]
[whooshing]
[Claire gasps]
[Claire breathing heavily]
[dramatic music playing]

-[Danielle] Is he gonna be okay?
-[Erica] Hold his feet!
[Tim] Oh, my God.
He will be okay.
Just keep him away
from any hard edges.
We don't want him
to hurt himself.
[Erica]
Ma'am, please! Take a seat.
God, poor guy. Can we help you?
[Claire]
He's not having a seizure.
What?
Look at him. He's not breathing.
-Ma'am, please!
-Check his pulse.
If it's low, that means
he's going
into anaphylactic shock
and he can't breathe.
-Where're his things?
-[Danielle] Over there.
[Erica] No, no, no, no.
Stay back, ma'am.
-[Danielle] Are you sure?
-[Erica] Stay back. Yeah.
Hurry.
Get him on his side.
[all panting]
Stay with us.
It's gonna be all right.
They won't land the plane
if he dies, will they?
-[Frankie sighs]
-[Tim] Yeah.
Give him a sec.
[Claire panting]
[clock ticking]
[exhales] He's breathing.
[all sighing]
Great.
Oh, my God.
[panting] Yeah.
[all panting]
-Thank you. Hey.
-[PA chimes]
Can you take a minute down here?
-[Doug] Okay.
-Okay. Come on.
Okay. Come on. Sorry.
[Doug grunting]
-[Tim] Got you. Yep.
-[Erica] Got him. Take it easy.
-[Tim] Okay. Got you.
-[Erica] Easy.
[Tim] Couple steps back.
-Here we go. Come on.
-[Erica] Easy.
[Tim] Deep breaths. Yeah.
-There you go.
-[Erica] Easy.
-Got him?
-[Tim] Yeah, I got him.
-[Erica] Okay.
-Good. And slowly.
-Okay.
-Okay.
-[Tim sighs]
-Yeah.
Can I get you anything?
-Thank you.
-No problem.
I had a peanut allergy as a kid,
so I know the signs.
Thank you all.
Please take your seats.
This is why I hate working
these empty red-eye flights.
A round of drinks for everyone.
Thank you.
And thank you.
[Claire sighs]
[PA chimes]
[Claire sighs]
Okay.
[Claire breathing deeply]
Uh, sorry.
I don't mean to bother you.
I just-- I just wanted
to say that was badass.
You're a rock star.
[chuckles]
[Claire sighs]
[Claire sighs]
No laptop.
[Claire sighing]
[man] ...in flight.
Smoking is prohibited.
Great.
[pills clattering]
Really?
[Claire sighing]
Does anything
on this plane work?
[Claire sighing]
[phone chimes]
Okay.
[exhales]
[lock clicks closed]
[Claire sighing]
[plane rattling]
[PA chimes]
[captain] Folks,
from the flight deck,
this is your captain speaking.
I just wanted to come on
and thank all the passengers
for assisting the flight crew
in remaining calm.
Please feel free
to move out of the cabin
as the fasten seatbelt signs
have been turned off.
Sorry about the monitors.
We're going to be doing
a system reboot
to try keep us
up and running for you
as quickly as possible.
We're trying to navigate
around the storm
to make your flight
as smooth as possible,
so please bear with us on that.
[distorted]
Thank you for flying with us.
[indistinct]
[PA chimes]
Okay.
Come on, Claire.
You were at the bar last night.
[dramatic music playing]
We can not
have that many drinks.
[sighs] You know what?
It's okay. This happens.
It'll pass.
This is exactly why
you need this vacation.
You got this, Claire.
[exhales sharply]
Oh, um, I'm sorry there. Uh...
Uh, no, no, you're fine.
How you feeling?
Mu-- much better.
Thank you again
for helping me back there.
Don't mention it.
Just read those labels, huh?
It's not the first time
that's gotten me in trouble.
Unfortunately, not mine either.
I've learned
my lesson with labels.
Get some rest.
[suspenseful music playing]
[light switch clicks]
[pills clattering]
Oh, shit.
[sighing in relief]
-[Tim] Champagne?
-Uh, no.
[Tim] Compliments of the house.
Thank you.
[Tim] Just give me a second.
Let me hand all these out.
I'll get you whatever you want
as a special thank you.
-Thank you. [chuckles]
-[Claire] Thanks.
[plane whirring]
[PA chimes]
Uh, mind if I...
Uh, not at all. Please.
-I'm Claire.
-Frankie.
Nice to meet you.
Uh...
I'm really sorry
about the staring.
It always gets me in trouble.
No worries. [chuckles] And...
now we know each other.
Yeah.
So, Frankie,
uh, where are you headed?
Uh, quick stop home.
My parents
are still in Buckhead.
Atlanta. Uh, cool.
Any big plans?
Uh, nope.
Just a quick business trip.
Yeah.
Took it in person
to fit in the fam, you know.
-Nice.
-Yeah.
Well, it's great
to meet you, Frankie.
Uh, yeah.
You too.
Need one more pineapple.
-[Erica] Okay.
-Thank you.
[Erica] Hey, it's the lifesaver.
[laughs] I try.
[Erica] Uh, no.
You saved our butts.
We should have caught that.
Happens to the best of us.
[Erica] How you feeling?
Can we get you anything?
[Tim]
We still owe you that drink.
[Erica laughs]
More than that at this point.
-Oh, stop.
-[Claire chuckles]
Um, it sounds strange,
but I know I was sleeping
on the plane during takeoff.
Passed out. [laughs]
I'll have what she's having.
-Make that two.
-[all laughing]
Um, I-- I may have dreamt it,
but I swore
I had my laptop bag with me
when I got on the plane.
Did you see it?
I don't think so,
but did you check
the overhead compartment?
Yeah, it wasn't up there.
Well, I only helped you
with your suitcase.
I don't remember
seeing a laptop bag.
[ominous music playing]
You helped me?
Uh, yeah, remember?
You asked me to help you.
[chuckles]
I...
Yeah. [laughs]
You know what, sorry.
Yeah, right.
Um, it was the nap, you know.
Sorry to bother you.
No bother.
[music continues]
[clock ticking]
[gasps]
[Marco] Thanks, Claire.
Are you okay, hon?
-You seem a little--
-Yeah, I think so.
Are you hungry?
I'm happy
to make you something to eat.
Uh, no, thank you.
I'm just a little disoriented.
Oh.
You didn't take
an Ambien, did you?
[laughs] I mean,
I got stories, like, a lot.
-Girl, I can write a book.
-[both chuckling]
No, nothing like that.
I was just really tired
when I got on the plane,
and the nap
and all the excitement
didn't help.
I get it.
I mean, these 12-hour shifts,
no sleep the night before,
they get to you.
Here.
Maybe these will help
drown out the noise.
Get you some sleep.
You'll feel better.
Thank you.
Let me know
if you'd like a real drink.
I make a mean Old Fashioned.
No orange.
-[Tim] Coming right up.
-[chuckles]
Prime example of why not
to abuse prescription pills.
-You are so bad.
-I mean, am I, though?
Okay, maybe just a tad.
-A hot mess.
-Whatever, whatever.
-Oh, my God, please.
-[Erica] Oh, shoot.
12B is ringing.
[Tim sighs]
If she pushes
that button one more time,
I'm gonna break her finger off.
[laughs]
Okay.
[sighs]
[ominous music plays]
Okay.
[sighs]
[breathing heavily]
[plane rattling]
-[Claire] Jesus!
-[woman] I'm so sorry.
Gotta keep the blood moving.
You giving that guy a lap dance?
What?
You're disgusting.
Are you watching what I'm doing?
Pervert.
I'm stretching.
It's called stretching.
-Looking for something?
-No. [clears throat]
There you are.
-Thank you.
-You're welcome.
Cheers. Enjoy.
[seats rattling]
[PA chimes]
[Erica over PA] At this time,
we're asking all passengers
to please
fasten your seat belts.
-Thank you.
-[PA chimes]
[Claire] "Look."
Look at what?
-[Ellen] Thank you, sweetie.
-Of course.
Um, chicken or fish?
Mmm.
Fish.
[Erica] Champagne, sir?
-[Cal] Whiskey, neat.
-[Erica] And for dinner?
I'm not hungry.
Okay, let us know
if you change your mind.
Tim?
-Yeah?
-Can you take over?
-Sure.
-[Erica] I'll be right back.
-[Claire] Three, two, two.
-[device beeps]
[breathing heavily]
[groans] Sorry, I just--
I had this really
intense lower back pain.
Old runner's injury.
Hmm. You need
to get back to your seat.
The seat belt sign is on.
-[Claire] Help me up?
-Oh, sure.
[Claire sighs] Thank you.
-Sorry.
-[Frankie chuckles]
Eyelock. Sorry.
It happens.
[Danielle] Wait, so how
long have you been married for?
Oh, my God, uh,
-12 years.
-[Danielle gasps] Oh, my gosh.
Yeah, 12 long years.
And two kids.
-[Danielle cackling]
-[Tracy] Do you wanna see a pic?
[Danielle] Yeah.
Oh!
Excuse me, ma'am.
Uh-- uh...
I-- I have
to get this to the back.
-Excuse me, please.
-S-- Sorry.
[indistinct
chatter and laughter]
[Claire] Hi there.
Hi.
Do you read a lot of his books?
Uh, Wes Riley?
I do, yeah.
[Claire] How are they?
Are they any good?
[Wes] Well, if I keep reading
while you're trying
to talk to me,
they must be pretty good, so...
[Claire] Right. [laughs]
Which one's your favorite?
Avalanche.
What's it about?
An avalanche.
Really?
-No. It's not really.
-[laughing]
It's, uh, it's actually
about a ship being held hostage.
Interesting.
And what's this one about?
Uh, a group of people
trapped on a college campus
playing a deadly game.
What kind of game?
Like, um, scavenger hunt.
Only deadly.
[Claire] Hmm.
Well, do they at least
get something fun if they win?
Hmm. I'm not sure yet.
I'm hoping
it's not just survival.
You know, the fun is when
you put the pieces together.
You know, the author
directs your attention
one way while
something else is happening.
Who do you think is doing it,
or what do you think
is happening?
Well, it has to be
someone playing the game
with everyone else.
Someone unsuspecting.
Harmless.
Or...
Someone completely capable.
Sometimes the most obvious
makes the most sense.
You know, like, um...
a political science scholar
slash track star.
Well, someone is always guilty.
But what if it's a puppet master
situation or big brother?
Well, I mean, they gotta have
eyes on the situation, right?
They have to see
what's happening.
[Wes] Exactly.
That's why
they leave clues everywhere.
Not just pulling the strings.
Does this author
happen to have a book
that takes place on an airplane?
[chuckles]
No.
No, not that I know of.
Got it.
Well, I'll leave you to it.
[chuckles]
Star, "Look".
Look.
Star. "Look".
Look...
back?
Back.
[sighs]
Star, "Look".
Star. Star.
Starboard?
Board?
Starboard.
Starboard.
[sighs] Okay.
"Look".
Look. I'm looking.
Anything?
[groans] Shit.
[tense music]
Okay.
"Look".
Star.
Star, "Look".
I'm in the right place.
-Come on, Claire. Come on.
-[PA chimes]
[Tim over PA]
This is a non-smoking flight.
Smoking is prohibited
on the entire aircraft,
including the lavatories.
Please turn your focus
to the back of your seats
and watch the safety
video on your monitors.
Tampering with, disabling,
or destroying
the lavatory
smoke detectors is...
[voice distorting]
...prohibited by law.
This is a non-smoking flight.
[smoke detector beeps]
[Claire breathing heavily]
"One of the passengers
is not what they seem.
Use these pills
to take them out.
Clock's ticking."
[mumbles]
[sighs]
Hey!
Hey!
What the hell's the issue?
You were coming to attack me!
I was what?
[Tim] What is going on here?
She's insane!
[Claire] He was barreling down
the aisle coming towards me
like he was gonna hurt me.
Hurt you?
I was coming
to use the bathroom, princess.
[Tim] Sir, what are you doing
back here?
I was coming to use the restroom
because ours is occupied.
[scoffs] "Ours?"
First class, sweetie.
You'll get there one day.
Oh, poor, sad little alpha male.
How far
is that really getting you?
Way beyond first class,
which is more
than I can say for you.
[Tim] Okay,
we are not arguing
about the airline
class system today.
I am too overworked
and way too underpaid.
[chuckles bitterly]
Please use the restroom
at the front.
It's open now.
Enjoy economy.
I'm sorry.
-I swear.
-It's fine.
Could you please?
Incredible.
[indistinct chatter over radio]
[PA chimes]
How you holding up?
[Claire] Uh, I'm fine. Yeah.
I heard there was
a little incident.
You okay?
It was just a misunderstanding.
Well, you've had
quite the flight.
Yeah, you have, um, no idea.
I probably sound like
a broken record.
But if you need help
with anything...
you let me know.
Sure.
I'll let you know.
Okay.
-Hi.
-Hi.
Um, do you mind
if we girl talk for a sec?
Uh, what?
I just have one weird question.
[chuckles]
Sorry, I-- I'm busy.
I'm Danielle.
-Claire.
-Hi.
So, um, when you were, uh,
talking to that guy next to me.
Yeah?
Um, what was he like?
I-- I'm sorry, what?
Okay, it's going to
sound really weird,
but, um, I swear
that I matched with him
on Dater and I mean,
the Wi-Fi sucks here,
so I can't even check,
but, like, I mean, like,
what if it's him, right?
And I mean,
I'm a hopeless romantic, right?
[chuckles]
-Sure.
-And so, like,
what if this is fate telling me
that I need to go talk to him?
[both laugh]
I'm, like, being a stalker.
[laughs]
No, just super sleuth-y.
-[Danielle laughs]
-[phone chimes]
Oh.
Wi-Fi's back.
Of course
the Dater app is not working.
I'll just Google him.
No, no, no, why don't you
just go sit next to him?
You can talk to him about
mystery novels and thrillers.
Or just, you know,
buy him a drink.
No mysteries, no.
I only read
the Ezra Fallon novels.
Oh, what are those ones about?
Airplane hijackers.
Yeah, it's not the best topic,
you know?
Right.
You should just go talk
to him, like, right now.
-Really?
-Yeah.
-Oh.
-You know,
we only have one life,
and it's short.
And you are a boss.
He would be lucky to have you.
Thank you.
You should go.
-Okay, I'm gonna go.
-Do it.
Good luck.
[PA chimes]
[Erica over PA]
Thank you for your patience.
-The Wi-Fi is now on.
-[Claire mumbles]
[PA chimes]
[suspenseful music plays]
Thank you.
[man snores]
Nope.
-Where upstairs?
-[Erica] I'm being silly.
[Tim laughs]
-[tablet chimes]
-Oh, yes.
Come on. Come on.
First class.
[man snores]
Oh, careful.
You dropped this.
-Tha-- thank you.
-Yeah.
Excuse me, uh...
-Tim.
-Claire.
Claire, yes.
Do you need something?
Yeah, I'm having this really
weird pain in my lower back.
I think it's just
the tightness of the seat.
I can show you
a really great stretch.
Well, I was thinking, you know,
since you said
if I needed anything,
just to come and ask earlier
since I helped out.
Right.
Would it be possible
for me to sit in first?
Oh, um, I-- we--
I don't actually--
that's-- n-- no.
I don't want any food
or drinks or anything.
It would really
just be for sleeping.
I just really want to sleep.
Just a sec.
[line ringing]
Erica, we have a situation.
Claire Reynolds wants
a seat in first class.
It's-- it's completely
against policy.
Right?
What?
I understand that, but I--
Okay.
Go ahead.
Just please
don't sit in the same row
as the other two passengers.
Oh, you got it. Thank you.
Claire. Claire.
-Yeah?
-You have to save us.
What?
The source,
it's someone on this plane.
Who are you?
I-- I-- I'm no one.
[whispering] What do you
want with these people?
[whispering]
No, I-- I'm like you.
Listen, it's not me.
Why should I trust you?
Hey, please,
get back to your seats.
All I know is I'm supposed
to tell you to find the source.
[Claire] What does
that even mean?
Who sent you?
After takeoff, I got an email,
unknown sender,
that said, "When the time comes
tell Claire Reynolds
that she has to find the source
and that's what could save you."
[Claire] How do I know
you're not the source?
That you're not lying to me?
You don't--
All right, I don't know either.
And I don't know what it means,
but I've been watching you.
You're trying to
figure something out.
That's when it hit me.
The e-mail, it's not a joke.
I don't remember boarding
the plane.
Okay, I-- I--
I remember being at the bar.
And then I woke up here.
[Frankie] What?
It's really weird.
It...
it feels like a setup,
like I'm living
in some kind of time warp.
[Frankie] Do-- do you remember
anything suspicious?
No.
I remember being at the bar,
and that I had a good 20 hours
before I needed to be
at the airport.
And...
I checked my bags,
and everything seems fine,
except I don't have my laptop,
but I was considering
not bringing it with me anyway.
[Frankie] Did you, like...
[Claire] What?
...pop a special pill?
[Claire] I don't do drugs.
Right, but you know,
one of the special ones
that your doctor gives you
before a flight?
[Claire] No.
I remember everything.
[Claire] You saw me
get on this plane?
Yes. You walked on
just in the nick of time.
You looked really tired.
You were snoring by takeoff.
Uh, listen, do--
do you have any suspects?
I'm not telling you that.
[Frankie] Do you--
do you have any leads?
I'm not telling you that either.
Well, but what can you tell me?
Look, do you really
want to help?
[Frankie] Yes.
Hey there.
[chuckles] Frankie.
Hey.
Tracy.
Uh, do you fly
this airline often?
Um, a few times
every five years or so.
You?
No, not really.
[both laughing]
-Like, where do you fly to?
-All over.
Uh, mostly
between New York and LA,
sometimes Miami.
-Yeah.
-International?
Yeah. Uh, mostly London.
London?
Mm-hmm.
-[Frankie] Oh.
-You?
-[Frankie] No.
-Oh, well, okay.
What's with the 20 questions?
Uh...
-Hey, Tim?
-[Tim] Mm-hmm?
Uh, how's the airline
credit card?
-[Tim] Oh...
-Are you serious?
...absolutely wonderful.
I mean, not only are
some places 12 miles per dollar,
but you can also get
20% off flights, like,
two to three times a year.
[Tracy] Okay, well, actually,
that's pretty good.
-I know.
-[Tracy] Okay, let's do it.
-I'll sign up.
-Oh, okay.
Uh, two applications?
Sure. Yeah, you want one, too.
[Danielle] I was really nervous.
[James]
Oh, no, I'm glad you did.
-Should we get a drink?
-Yeah.
-Hey, Tim?
-[Tim] Mm-hmm?
[Erica] Need anything?
Oh, I'm okay. Just relaxing.
[Cal] Excuse me.
Did you forget my drink?
[Erica] I'll be right back.
How's everything going?
Can't complain, sir.
How's it going in there?
Pretty smooth, thanks.
[toilet flushing]
-Thanks again.
-Anytime, sir.
[Frankie] Psst.
Find anything?
The MILF travels a lot.
Okay.
[Frankie] Which is fine,
like, no big deal,
but then
she specifically said London,
and then it clicked.
US ambassador to the UK,
Eleanor Tracy.
That chick is telling everyone
her name is Tracy.
[Claire] That doesn't
mean anything.
Right, but if she's not
the, you know what,
then she might be the target.
Oh.
You're one of those
political junkies, huh?
No, I'm more like
a conspiracy theorist.
Great. Just what we need.
Look, give me some credit.
I found something.
[Claire] Okay, fine. Good job.
Thank you. I'll keep digging.
Okay.
[dog panting]
[dog whines]
[Ellen] Excuse me.
[ominous music building]

Shit.
8E.

Can you please
go back to your seat?
Uh, yeah, just-- Sorry.
Just, uh... Yeah.

[PA chimes]
[stewardess] As a reminder
to our passengers,
we ask you
to please use the lavatory
located in your ticketed cabin.
Uh, have you seen Frankie?
Who's Frankie?
The guy you were
just talking to.
Oh, duh. [chuckles]
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I think the restroom.
-Okay, thanks.
-You're welcome.
[eerie music playing]
Hi.
What are you, mid-20s?
Yeah.
-About that.
-Mm-hmm.
Uh, such a weird time, your 20s.
30s aren't much different.
You just stop caring so much
about what people think.
You suddenly grow a backbone.
[Claire] It happens
that suddenly, huh?
It can, yeah.
Well, thank you
for sharing your wisdom.
What do you know, Claire?
About what?
Life.
[Claire] Oh, well,
I know that...
we never have enough time.
[Ellen] We don't, do we?
It's such a shame.
Well...
You know what I really hated
about being in my 20s?
No.
Being underestimated.
No one ever thought
I was capable.
They didn't think
I was powerful.
[sighs deeply]
They were never afraid of me.
Are you afraid of me, Claire?
Yes.
Good.
Are you gonna hurt me?
Well, that depends.
On what?
You.
Understood?
-What do I have to do?
-[Ellen] Nothing.
Just stay out of my way.
You draw attention to us
and everyone dies sooner.
Why would you hurt
all these innocent people?
You have to sacrifice a few
for the greater good.
The good of what?
I'm doing my job, Claire.
[Claire] And you'll die, too.
Why won't you do us
both a favor and tell me
what you put in my drink?
I--
I-- I just--
I, uh--
It was just some pills
that I found.
So you found some pills
and you put it in my drink,
and you think
that's enough to stop me?
Well, you said it first.
-Huh.
-Don't underestimate me.
[both grunting and groaning]
[Erica humming a tune]
[both grunting in effort]
-[muffled groaning]
-[music over headphones]
[Claire and Elle screaming]
[keeps humming a tune]
[Ellen screaming in effort]
[panting in pain]
No!
[Ellen screaming and groaning]
[dramatic music playing]
-What have you done?!
-[Claire] No, no, no, no.
No, she attacked me.
Tim!
-No. You don't understand.
-Tim!
She-- she said--
she said she was gonna kill us.
-Us?
-[Tim] Oh, my God.
-What the hell happened?
-She attacked me with that.
I stopped her.
-Please, please, please.
-Oh, shi--
Tim! Grab her!
-Grab her!
-I can't.
Oh, oh.
You're gonna be okay.
[tense music building]
[Erica] Hey!
Oh, my God.
-Get the fuck back!
-Ma'am. Please.
You're not
listening to me, okay?
She attacked me.
She was gonna take down
the whole plane.
What do you mean,
the whole plane?
-What's she talking about?
-You're scaring the passengers.
I just fucking
saved their lives.
I-- I'm gonna need more than
just a free drink after this.
[Erica] Please, just stop.
They said that
I needed to find the source.
-[Erica] Who's they?
-[Tim] It's okay.
We can discuss this.
Just, please, take--
take your seat.
And take your medication.
Jesus Christ.
You are not
listening to me, okay?
I had--
Someone left me this note.
It said to find the source
and that they were gonna
take down the plane, okay?
[James] You're acting crazy.
I'm not fucking crazy!
I'm not.
You have to believe me.
We do-- we do believe you, okay?
Let's-- let's just
take a beat, okay?
You're okay.
-All right?
-[Claire sobs]
[inhaling deeply] There.
See? We'll just--
we'll just talk.
Hey, Erica?
Can you get her
a glass of water?
Stay with me here.
And let it out.
[Tim exhales sharply]
One more time. Come on.
[inhales, exhales deeply]
There. With me.
Release. [Tim exhales sharply]
Calming down, right?
[Tim's voice distorts]
You're okay.
[Tim exhales sharply,
voice distorts]
There.
[suspenseful music building]

[music fades]
[gasps loudly]
[panting]
Hello?
Hello?
You.
Me?
What is happening?
Who will we explain?
What have you done to me?
Wha-- what is this place?
Look, I know this is a lot.
But I want you to know that
we're all very proud of you.
I understand
how upset you must be.
Upset?
I went through the same
as you when I started out.
Cheers to you, Claire.
I knew you would make it.
I've been watching you
for some time now.
You are extremely impressive.
-Where is my stuff?
-Safe.
Did you--
did you drug me in the bar?
Just a little.
But it's not what you think.
Just listen to me, okay?
[Claire shouting]
Get me off this fucking plane!
As I said,
I've been watching you.
And I know how capable you are.
How strong you are.
Yeah, no shit, you creep!
[Claire shouting] Help! Help!
Someone help!
Claire, no one can hear you.
It's just us.
-[haunting music building]
-[Claire panting]
Where is everyone?
What have you done to them?
Did-- did you hurt them?
You are very impressive, Claire.
I just really
need you to relax, okay?
[Claire panting]

Someone!
Anyone, help!
[groans in frustration]
-Three.
-[door lock clicks open]
Yes!
[panting frantically]
[Claire whispering]
Shit. Oh, my God.
You've got to come
with me now, Claire.
This can't-- This can't be--
-Where am I?
-Come with me.
-Come with me.
-[Claire panting]
Am I crazy?
No, no. You're not crazy.
I can explain everything.
It's all part of the plan.
Your dad will be so proud.
We have so much for you to do.
Endless opportunities.
It's everything you ever wanted.
No, no, no, I don't--
I don't want any of that.
I don't want anything from you.
You drugged me
and you got me on this plane.
-Just trust me, okay?
-Trust you?
Just trust me.
-Fuck you!
-Okay, that's enough, Claire.
Claire, wait.
[door hisses]
[Claire grunts]

Hello?
Anyone here?

Anybody?
[Claire whispering inaudibly]
Anyone here?

Hello?
[Erica] Claire.
Stop.
Erica?
[Erica] Subject
is in the terminal.
She's calm.
Please advise.
[man over radio]
Report as target.
End of mission. Over.
Report as target.
End of mission.
Target's pressed out.
Claire, this ends now.
She's right, Claire.
It's over.
[Claire] Please, just--
Just tell me the truth.
-I will.
-[crowbar clings]
I promise.
Okay? Okay?
[tense music playing]
Yeah.
She's heading towards you now.

[music fades]
[Claire panting]
[breathing heavily]
[panicked breathing]
[panting]
Hello, Claire.
I'm Agent Stanford.
This is Agent Tracy and James.
You've been selected, Claire,
for a very special program.
What do you want from me?
Where am I?
[James] What I can tell you
is you're at a special
simulation training facility.
We don't exist.
This...
doesn't exist.
[Claire] Was I even in the air?
No.
Combination of hydraulics
and sonar technology.
But why?
You have no idea how easy
it is to convince somebody
of what they already
want to believe.
Why me?
[Tracy] We've been watching you
for some time now, Claire.
We have all your records.
Impressive.
Senator Briggs, he can't say
enough great things about you.
We know he was speaking to you
about a special position
right before your trip, yes?
[Stanford] Well, this is it.
You're a leader.
And a tough one at that.
Just like your father, Claire.
What?
You knew my father?
[Stanford] David. Very well.
He was a friend. And one of us.
His name was Michael.
Was it?
Our condolences.
[Stanford]
You have a choice, Claire.
And what if I say no?
Well, a massive hangover
and a trip to Paris
as originally planned.
But before
you make that decision,
just know you passed the test.
The entire plane, the clues,
you solved everything.
Oh, and the needle
in Ellen's leg, I mean...
[chuckles] She was
pretty pissed about that.
You'll have purpose.
And an opportunity
few others could ever imagine.
And what's the next step?
You drug me again
and I end up
on a goddamn bus to Canada?
No, no. That part's over.
The next part is where we start
with the physical training.
Three months.
First assignment in six.
That's the fun part.
But we do need an answer
from you, Claire.
So.
What's it gonna be?
No.
Okay, then.
Best of luck.
Have a great time in Paris.
Au revoir.
[footsteps receding]
Wait.
Was my dad really one of you?
[phone ringing]
[phone keeps ringing]
-Hello?
-[Claire] Hey, Jess.
[Jessica] Well, haven't you
become a real little
jet-setter.
I am so jealous.
[Claire] I am absolutely
loving Paris,
but I promise you
I will be back soon.
[Jessica] You better.
I'm counting the days.
[Claire] Okay, well,
I actually have to run,
but I love you so much, Jess.
-[Jessica] Okay, I love you.
-[Claire] Talk to you soon.
-Bye!
-[Jessica] Bye!
-Hi.
-[Marco] Hi.
Your next mission.
Just try not to be
as messy this time.
Okay?
[Claire chuckles]
Under control. See you soon.
[Marco] Okay. See you soon.
[Claire] Captain,
first flight today, sir?
Second. Actually, you?
First.
-Welcome aboard.
-[man] Yeah, whatever.
Come on, babe. Check this out.
Oh, man, this is one
of the smaller ones, but...
-[woman] Oh, my God.
-No, it's not that good.
Here we go. Sit, sit, sit.
Come on. Get closer.
[both laughing]
Mr. Flaherty, I'm Sonia.
It's my pleasure
to serve you today.
Yeah, whiskies.
Keep them coming.
Right away.
[woman chuckling]
You look so good in that.
-[woman] You picked it out.
-[Flaherty] I know I did.
[indistinct chatter]
[woman and Flaherty chuckling]
Here you are.
-[woman giggling]
-Anything for you, ma'am?
[woman] Uh, I'm good for now.
Well, let me know
if that changes.
-So ready.
-[woman] Yeah.
Come on.
-Are we set up?
-[Flaherty] Let's go!
Absolutely.
-Prepare for departure.
-Captain.
[PA chimes]
Good afternoon, everyone.
Please fasten your seatbelts
and prepare for takeoff.
