- Let me pull up your profile.
What can I do for you today, Clare?
- Um, I actually need to, uh,
report a problem
with one of my passengers.
His name was Carl E.
He, um
He said that he shot someone,
and then he

- Hold on, Clare.
Um, before we go any further,
I need to let you know

pending an investigation
into a passenger complaint from tonight.
Orbit needs to look
into these allegations.
Someone will be in touch.

No, I mean, he-he
he pulled a knife on me.
He threatened to kill me.
- Actually,
he said the same thing about you.
That you threatened him.
- But, uh, this is not
That's not what happened.
- And that you pulled a knife on him.
- He's lying to you.
- And said that you'd bury him
in your field of sunflowers,
something like that.
- Wait, wh-what?
- We'll be in touch
after our investigation, okay?
- N-N-No, what-what did he say
about the sunflowers?
- Um something
about your field of sunflowers.
Look, that's all it says

I-I'm sorry you have to go through this,
but we have our process here at Orbit
