7500, do you copy?
Death is part of life.
7500, say again.
You don't want to waste one second of it.
7500, please respond.

Four Hours Earlier
Hi, I'm so sorry I'm late. How we looking?
/ All set. / Okay.
Thank you. Do we have any specials?
Nope. Anything we got a light load.
Oh, thank God, because I'm running on 3 hours of sleep and I have a massive hangover.
/ Your sister's wedding? How was it? / It was beautiful.
Yeah, but honestly, kinda freaked me out a little bit.
I'm engaged for 18 months.
My sister meets this guy at Ihop, three months later…
…they're married. I mean on paper it's all wrong but…
I don't know, they have this look in their eyes.
She married for passion and pancakes.
Yeah.
My mom gives it a year, Max.
She thinks that Nick is much safer, but…
/ Really, he's cute. / Look, photo booth, went a little crazy.
A little? He is cute.
But Suzy, I hope this wasn't the look on your face when Nick proposed.
/ What do you mean? / Well...
No, I was just tired and and the vodka was kicking in.
I'm just kidding. Heh! Will you, hmm...
/ Mind the floor? / Yes.
Suzy, welcome aboard.
Attention, passengers. Now boarding Vista-Pacific flight 7500 to Tokyo at Gate 3B.
Hey.
/ Hi, welcome aboard. / You didn't need to upgrade us.
I don't know about this one, but I would have been perfectly comfortable
in cattle class.
How long have we talked about this trip? 10 years?
/ I have the miles. Let's do it in style. / Exactly, champagne all the way!
I don't think it'll fit, but you can try it.
Oh, God, I hope I'm not sitting next to that.
He's hungry. He's not homeless.
Honey, I agree with what you said, but
I don't want to sit next to people eating Chinese,
Indian, kimchi,
fat people, babies, snorers, drippers, you know,
/ people with lice, gingivitis... / Wow ! That's like 10 rules.
I know, honey. I just want our honeymoon to be perfect.
/ Oh well, here we are. / Okay. Let me check.
/ OK. See. It's perfect. / Yes.
/ Welcome here.
/ Thank you. / Upper-class is right upstairs. Enjoy your flight. / Thank you.
Since you got the upgrade, first round of sake is on me.
/ Deal. / And the second, and the third
And I'm treating you to that spa in Ginza.
The one with the oxygen facials. Awesome.
This is gonna be the trip of a lifetime.
Excuse me. I'm sorry.
Welcome aboard Vista-Pacific flight 7500.
We would like to remind you that your primary storage is located at the overhead vent above.
Additional storage is located underneath the seat in front of you.
Oops, sorry.
Konnichiwa.
/ To Tokyo. / To Tokyo.
/ Nice. / To Tokyo.
Excuse me, Captain. I have an urgent message from Ground Control.
Oh, always get me!
They said a very important check was overlooked.
/ Oh, thanks for bringing that to my attention. / You're welcome.
Hi. 3 whole days in Tokyo together.
/ Just the two of us. / Yep. / Yep.
/ Oh, it's corporate. / Okay. / Gotta check my schedule. / Okay.
All right.
Yeah. Look, I'm in pre-flight checks right now.
Yep. We gotta be in there by 6.
More champagne.
/ We should tell them. / We can't.
I'm not gonna be able to pull off 3 weeks.
What were we thinking?
Well, we were thinking it was too late to pull out
and ruin their once in a life time non-refundable trip.
Come on, it's 3 weeks.
3 weeks. When we come back, we tell everyone it's over.
Simple.
Oh, please God, no. Please God, no, no, no.
Oh, boy! No, please God. No!
/ No. / That could be a problem.
Welcome aboard Vista-Pacific flight 7500.
- Please find your seat as soon as possible. / Oh, thank God.
We'll be soon taking off.
/ You're happy? / Yeah. / Yeah.
Check out who's got an empty seat.
This is perfect. I can put all my trash bags there.
/ I can put my purse here... / Excuse me.
Ladies and gentlemen. This is your captain, Pete Haining, speaking.
I'm being assisted tonight by co-pilot, Tom Henderson.
We're looking forward to taking you to Tokyo.
We'll finish up boarding in a few minutes and then we'll be on our way.
/ Honey? / What? / Maybe we swap seats?
/ Yea, yea, ya. / Love you. / Yes.
It's okay.
Excuse me. Hi. uh...
There are some empty single seats behind us here.
Maybe when we're in the air, you could move.
so that we could all have a bit of room.
I like it here.
Okay. Okay. Okay.
/ What? / Really. Okay.
LAX Plants. This is Vista Pacific 7500 Heavy.
Looking to pick up clearance for Tokyo.
Vista Pacific 7500 clear for Tokyo
via the Seal Beach 5 departures filed, climb and maintain 10,000 feet.
Look, I gotta go.
You can't get on a plane without saying "I love you". It's bad luck.
Sorry, I freaked out.
Skype me when you land. You'll see everything will be okay.
Don't worry! We don't even know yet.
Come on, you gotta say it...
I love you.
Please take a few moments now to locate your nearest...
Okay. I love you but I gotta go.
The jacket may also be manually inflated by pulling the air tubes at shoulder level
in the event of a change in cabin air pressure,
an oxygen mask will automatically drop from a compartment above your seat.
/ To start the flow of oxy... / What do you mean "the hair is no good?"
And did I not tell you I want blue eyes?
Just gouge the eyeballs out!
Just tear them out.
Ok! I gotta go. We're taking off.
We wish you all an enjoyable flight.
Excuse me, sir.
You have to put that in the overhead compartment.
/ Here, I'll get it. / No, just…
/ I'll do it. / Okay.
It's okay. It will be safe up there.
So I'm backpacking to Asia.
It's going to be awesome.
/ I'm going to catch some waves in Bali… / Excuse me.
/ All electronic devices must be turned off... / No problem.
Off.
Flight attendants, prepare for takeoff.
Total urban myth, by the way.
I guarantee you. I leave this thing on,
this plane is not going to crash.
So, why did they say it then?
That's the man trying to keep us down, controlling our thoughts.
Duh!
Yes, ma'am.
Vista Pacific 7500. You are clear for takeoff on runway 2-8-Right.
Engage thrust mode.
80 knots.
Once upon a time. There’s a beautiful little girl.
She had blond hair and blue eyes.
She lived in a castle. See?!
The Captain has turned off the seat belt sign.
So feel free to move about the cabin.
However, we do recommend,
when seated, to keep your seat belt securely fastened,
in case of any unexpected turbulence.
See?
Urban myth.
What if you had killed us all?
But I didn't.
What's with the phone stash?
I can score a hundred bucks each for one of these, you need one?
Oh, no.
I don't need a stolen cellphone. Thank you.
Hey. Times are tough, sister.
Look around! There's a global financial crisis.
Boomers screwed the pooch, man.
They ain't helping out Gen Y.
Gotta make a living somehow.
Surfing ain't free.
Who says it isn't. It's water.
En cast, girlfriend. En cast.
So this is my dress.
I actually designed it myself.
Oh honey, there's your dad.
Rick's dad. He's great.
When he gets drunk, he gets a little touchy feely, doesn't he?
You know, nobody tells you about all the questions,
like should you put your hair up,
should you put your hair down.
Oh, I didn't realize, you're also married.
Look at our rings.
Did I show you my... Well, mine is a little bigger,
but they're both so pretty.
Have you seen 16I?
Oh, yeah. He's eating his way through our pretzel supply.
/ Hey Jackie! Can you get two more bottles of champagne? / Yeah
/ Okay. / What about row 11, miserable married couple.
They haven't said a word the entire flight.
They hate each other's guts.
Do you think she married for passion,
or do you think he was her safe choice?
Uh... he grazed my ass twice already.
/ So, I think, wrong choice. / Eww.
And then we have 'Bridezilla' at 16-F.
She won't quit with the wedding photos.
Bet she didn't take 18 months to nail down a date.
It's hard planning a wedding when you're flying around the world.
Exactly!
30,000 feet above reality. You and me both.
I thought you love this job.
I do love this job but...
/ …life gets messy when you grow up. / Yeah
So what's the deal?
Do you think he's really going to leave his wife?
Three days alone in Tokyo.
It's gonna work out.
You'll see.
Should we have chicken or fish,
and you know, should we have a live band or...
/ Oh! Can you...? / I gotta go...
/ She must've needed the restroom. / Yeah.
She's lovely.
I'm gonna show the girl next to us. Yeah, sure.
Okay.
Excuse me. Would you like to see our wedding photos?
You know, it's such an amazing day.
What? I, umm... sorry, I can't hear you.
/ Okay. / Excuse me, would you like something to drink?
Why don't we wait for the meal, please.
Emotional issues, very closed off.
You okay?
That was cool.
Sorry about that, folks.
We hit some unstable air but it looks like we're through it now.
/ You good? / Yeah.
/ Here you go. / Are you okay?
/ You okay? / I can't get breathe.
/ Help. We need help over here. / Yes. What is it?
He, he just said he couldn't breathe.
Sir? Could... Are you okay?
Suzy, come here.
/ I'm gonna go get the... / Okay. Yeah.
Sir, You… So just take a deep breath.
If there's a doctor or medical professional on board,
please identify yourself to the crew immediately.
Please identify yourself immediately. Thank you.
Okay. It's okay.
Oh, my God!
Don't do that. Don't... Breath!
Okay!
Okay, breathe in! Oh, my God!
Hey yo, What's going on? Is he sick? Is he sick? What's going on?
/ Hey, hey, can I help? / He's having trouble breathing.
/ Sir, come with me please. / Let me do it itself.
Okay.
/ Nitroglycerin? / Yes, yes.
You'll be okay. It's going to be okay.
If it's not his heart, it'll make it worse.
Take his pulse.
/ Are you a doctor? / Paramedic.
/ You know how to take blood pressure? / Er... yeah.
I'll be right with you, sir.
Here.
Look at me! Hey, look at me! Look at me! Look at me!
Squeeze my hand for "Yes". Okay?
Do you have chest pain? Are you epileptic?
/ Diabetic? Asthma? / No...
/ Pulse is 90. / Take a breath. Deep breath.
Okay. Everything's fine.
I don't wanna die on a plane.
I don’t wanna die. Please, please, please...
Breathe! Breathe in! Breathe in!
Breath!
/ God. Dammit. / Stop him. He get the seize.
Hey, sir.
/ He's not breathing. / What do we do?
Take him to the galley. 3, 2, 1. Go.
All right. Yea. Here.
/ Got him? / All right.
/ You got an AED? / Yeah. / Get it!
/ I'll do compressions. You do mouth to mouth. / Okay.
Analyzing heart rhythm.
Clear.
Analyzing... begin CPR. / More. / Okay.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6...
and breathe.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, breathe.
/ Stay clear! / Okay.
Come on.
/ He's gone. / No.
No.
He's gone.
/ Dude just died. / What?
San Francisco Radio, confirming name of deceased passenger.
Lance Morrell. Travelling alone. Seat 17C.
There's not a chance of resuscitation.
Where it's deemed landing as unnecessary and dangerous.
Roger that, Vista Pacific 7500. What are your intentions?
Continue with the flight plan, as filed.
Roger that, Vista Pacific 7500 Heavy.
We'll have a medical team waiting for you at Haneda.
Understand.
How many passengers saw what happened?
Umm, 11 through 18, in Economy,
I don't know about the rest, the curtains were closed.
Okay. That's good.
So if anyone asks, just say a passenger is ill.
We're gonna go lights out throughout the night till Tokyo.
Wouldn't cause a panic.
What do we do with the body?
We can relocate everyone comfortably, downstairs, in Economy
and still provide you with upper class services and amenities.
And as compensation,
each passenger will receive two vouchers
for upper class round trip travel, anywhere in the world.
/ What happened? / I don't know.
The guy just flatlined.
Yes, I under... I understand, um,
I'm afraid there's no choice.
In events like this…
…the pilot in command has the legal authority to enforce these decisions.
/ No need to worry, okay? / Mm-hm. / Get your bag.
/ Thank you. / You're welcome.
/ Can I, can I help you? / Yea.
That's okay.
Come on. Come in.
So let me get this straight.
We're going on our honeymoon
and you just gave CPR to a man with blood all over his mouth.
He was dying!
Well, whatever he was dying from is now all over your lips.
Herpes, party of one, your table's ready.
Hey Liz.
Now, it's a party for two.
Hey, I saw him move. Seriously.
/ Down there. Check it out. / Okay.
How long before his body starts decomposing?
I have no idea.
I can smell him already.
We're trapped with a dead body for the next 6 hours?
/ I'm sorry about that. / Yeah.
Don't you act like you're not all freaked out there,
creepy scorpion girl!
Death is a part of life.
A part of your life, maybe,
but not a part of mine.
It will be, one day.
Okay guys. Okay. Easy.
Already cooled.
Almost there.
How about right here, guys.
/ Got it? / Yea, yea.
/ Thank you. / All right.
/ Thanks, guys. / That's crazy.
We gotta buckle him in.
Where is the stupid seat belt!
Okay. Let's go. Let's get out of here.
Hey. You were helping the dead guy, right?
What happened to him?
I don't know.
Was it contagious?
It might be.
Hey.
You know, um, about what you were saying before?
You know, "death is a part of life."
I agree with you.
Yeah.
When the guy who died,
prolly thought he had all the time in the world.
He sat on the plane,
had no idea it was all going to end today.
And maybe he wanted to write a book.
Maybe he wanted to have kids.
Sorry. Too late.
But if you remember that, one day, you and I,
all of us,
we'll all be dead.
You won't want to waste one second of whatever time we have left.
Yeah. I wish I could live like that.
Well, why can't you?
People get all tied up in what they think they should do.
When you die, you die.
No one's gonna give you gold stars in heaven for going to business school
or marrying a hot wife.
How did you know I went to business school?
Didn't?
Wrong guess.
/ It's obvious, isn't it? / Yeah.
Excuse me!
Hey hon.
I was just, uh, showing her our wedding photos
and thinkin' of figuring how we could organize them by doing...
Yeah, forget the photos. Okay.
People are going to start dropping in the aisles with blood pouring out their anuses.
This is my honeymoon.
Hi, can I get you some coffee?
/ Coffee? / Please. / Sure.
Here you go.
Please don't smile. Please don't smile.
Everybody, put your seatbelt on!
Suzy, go!
Tom, put your mask on!
Come on!
Come on, Tom, breathe!
Tom, put it back!
Brad! It's not work!
Take mine! Take mine! Take mine!
No! No!
Okay.
Put it on!
Here you go.
Breathe in.
Pia.
Breathe.
Breathe!
I'm removing my mask.
/ You okay? / Yeah.
This is the Captain speaking.
We've just experienced a cabin de-pressure and...
our on board computer indicates...
that a seal was damaged from previous turbulence.
We've isolated the issue and we're flying at a lower altitude.
Cabin pressure has been restored to normal.
You may remove your oxygen masks and breathe freely.
Any passengers in distress, please notify flight crew.
Everyone stay in your seat,
with seatbelt fastened. Are you okay? Is everyone okay?
Oh my God.
Come on. Come on. Here you go. Come on.
Just breathe. Just breathe. Breathe. Please breathe. Come on.
Please, breathe. Please....
That's it, that's it. Slow down. Slow down. It's okay. It's okay.
It’s okay. You okay?
You're okay. You're okay.
You're safe.
/ How are you doing, you okay? / Um, yeah.
I told you we shouldn't have come on this trip.
I thought we were going down.
Yeah.
You know, I should have known.
'cause my fingernails were blue.
It's oxygen deprivation.
Can you clean that up?
/ Hey, Suzy. We should do a sweep. / Okay.
Any trash? Thank you.
We could have tried, again.
I couldn't.
Not a third time.
What if it happens again?
When I was younger,
all I wanted to do was be a mom.
I never talked about a job and career.
'Cause you wanted to be happy while your friends think you're cool and ambitious.
But...
in my heart, my real dream,
I just wanted a home with you and our children running around.
Yeah, so did I.
I was just,
helpless,
for the first time.
Do you want a blanket?
/ I'm just gonna stretch my legs. / Yeah.
Honey, look.
What?
You okay?
That dead guy is freaking me out.
Gnarly!
Thanks for the watch.
So, here I am,
with my brand new Rolex.
Just a little, uh, a little present from my,
my new friend over here.
He's got some hygeine issues.
And uh…he, he doesn't talk very much, either.
But really, I'm just dying for you to meet him.
So,
here...
is....
Tokyo Radio. This is Vista Pacific Flight 7500 Heavy, do you copy?
Death is a part of life.
You okay?
Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Fine.
Ever have anyone die on a flight before?
No, first time.
It's so sad.
Yeah, it's crazy.
Hey, you know that guy in row 13, the one that's always playing video games?
Yeah.
13F. He hasn't been in his seat in a while.
What? Um....
/ 13F? / Yeah.
Excuse me.
Do you know where the passenger who's sitting there is?
/ Did he move seats? / Um, yeah. He went upstairs.
Upstairs?
Come on.
Hello?
Sir, you need to go back to your seat.
The body's gone.
We have to go.
Remember that trip we took to Cabo?
When we, uh, had a huge fight in the hotel room
/ and didn't speak for what, 4 days? / Mm-hm.
Yeah, I remember.
Why are you bringing up the worst time we ever had?
Because I keep thinking about how much time we wasted.
The weather was great.
The hotel was beautiful. I just, we were the disaster.
Yup.
I don't want to waste any more time.
What do you mean, "the body is gone"?
I think this kid moved it as a prank.
Well, we better find it or we'll all be grounded.
Look, it's gotta be on board.
Just do a sweep, row by row.
/ We're gonna do a sweep, row by row, okay? / Okay. / Yeah.
Hey, Pete, um.
Can I ask you something? Did you happen to see a...
…a jet flying near us? A…hmm… an F-16?
An F-16?
No.
I'll investigate and report back. Thank you, Captain.
It'll be fine. Gonna be fine...
Please. Please. Please.
Thank God.
Excuse me. I'm so sorry. Just one second.
/ Thank you. / Thank you.
/ Excuse me. / Sure yeah...
/ Alright. There you go. / Thanks.
Hey, I just overheard the flight attendant,
the dead body is missing.
/ What? / How could it be missing?
I don't know.
A passenger is missing, too.
I saw him go upstairs. Never came back, and...
Okay, this is going to sound weird, but I saw something on my monitor.
It kinda looked like the dead guy.
/ Come on! / Holy crap.
/ I saw him, too. / Why wouldn't you tell me that?
This is not the time for us to work out our communication issue.
/ There's a dead body missing. Focus! / Yeah, I know.
Hey guys! We need to find out who the hell this dead guy is.
'Cause whatever's going on, it's 'cause of him.
Hey, check his carry-on.
I don't understand.
He’s gone.
You know what I always wonder?
What do people think about just before they die?
You know who I'd be thinking about?
My first boyfriend. Sean Osborne.
He'd kiss me and, and my knees would literally go weak. I had to…
…hold on him, just so I wouldn't fall.
Always hoped. I'd find that with Nick
and I never quite got there.
I'm sorry.
Yeah.
So...
/ any luck with the body? / No.
Pete, I know you're not gonna leave your wife.
/ What? / It, it's okay, you know.
You've kids together.
I wish it was different.
It's all timing.
Laptop.
An ID.
Here we go.
Dead guy's name, Lance Morrell from Corona, California.
Is this hair?
Has names on it. Tracy,
Anne.
Katy.
Oh, my God. They're his victims.
We don't know that.
This product is known in the State of California to cause cancer.
This is what he's using to kill them.
With cancer? Really? What, like a weapon?
My mom would always say that my dad gave her cancer.
/ Try uhh… / Laptop's locked.
You try his birthdate.
/ 4/15/72. No? / It's really great stuff. Takes the edge off.
I don't know.
You're stealing that dead guy's stuff?
Have at it!
Try to keep them together.
Works like a purse, you know?
What's this?
What are you doing?
It's not what you think. This is, uh, Lance Morrell's stuff.
The passenger who died.
You've no right to be going through someone else's property.
Yeah? Well, something's happening on this plane and it all started when he died.
Look, we know the body's missing and the passenger.
And you saw something, too.
I didn't see anything.
Through the window, I heard you.
We need to get into his checked luggage.
His checked luggage, in the cargo hold?
Yeah, there might be something in there that will tell us what's going on.
/ You can get in there. / Enough!
Now go back to your seats.
/ Yes, ma'am. / Okay.
You want me to come with you?
Not, I want you at the hatch.
What, what is that?
/ It says it's a shinigami. / It's a death doll.
Looks like Lance was delivering it to a client in Tokyo.
Cool.
In Japanese mythology, shinigami is a death spirit.
When you're ripped from your life too quickly,
you have to let go of whatever is holding you here,
so you can move on.
Once you've done that,
the real shinigami will take your soul,
to the afterlife.
Why would someone bring that on a plane?
I don't know, but I can tell you one thing.
This Lance guy is holding on
and he's not letting go.
I'm sorry, Meg.
Radio Tokyo. Come in. This is Vista Pacific Flight 7500 Heavy.
No! No!
Did you hear that?
I don't want that on the plane.
How should we do that? Open up a window?
Hey, you okay?
What the fuck was that?
Alright, alright, stay calm, stay calm. We're going to be okay.
Come with us.
Liz!
Death is a part of life.
No idea it was all gonna end today.
You wouldn't want to waste one second of whatever time we have left.
If you remember, that one day,
you and I, all of us.
We'll be dead.
Not here!
God!
Oh, God! I don't understand.
What?
Hey, hey. Come on. Come on.
Look at me. Look at me. Look at me. What was back there?
What was back there?
When you're ripped from your life too quickly,
you have to let go of whatever is keeping you here,
before you can move on.
This evening the Pacific Flight 7500 from Los Angeles to Tokyo
alerted traffic controllers.
They were encountering rougher turbulence than expected,
but soon after that,
all communication with the plane ceased.
We believe the turbulence must have loosened a critical seal,
and that seal gave way, a short time later,
creating a rapid decompression event within the plane.
At this point in time, we believe the oxygen masks malfunctioned.
In a de-pressurized environment,
the lack of oxygen would be fatal.
Come on. Come on. Come on.
All communication attempts from that point on...
have been unsuccessful.
Did you happen to see a jet, an F-16?
F-16s were scrambled to take a closer look at the plane,
but... no signs of life could be seen.
Excuse me, excuse me, sir.
Is there any chance of survival for those on board?
At this point in time, we believe the chances of survival are slim.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of those on board.
The plane's been flying on autopilot for the last 5 hours.
It is expected to run out of fuel and crash into the Pacific.
We'll continue to give information as it is made available to us.
Don't let me go.
I won't.
