Big Sky (1997–1999): Season 1, Episode 2 - Navstar - full transcript
(Ominous music)
- Let go!
What do you want? (Grunts)
Stacey, call the police!
I'm being robbed!
- I know.
I asked them to.
- Why?
- You slept with Rhonda.
- Oh.
- Oh?
Is that all you can say, oh?
- Sorry?
That's just not good enough.
I mean, how could you?
How could you wreck our relationship?
And with Rhonda jacobi.
I mean, she's at least three
inches taller than you.
- It was a spur of the moment thing!
- Oh, right.
Well, this is a spur of the
moment thing too, okay?
Meet my cousins, Bruno and Ralph.
They're just here to help
us sort a few things out,
like the money you owe me.
- Do I owe you money?
- Yes, you owe me money.
You're not seriously gonna
say that you don't remember.
Oh, jimbo, you never think of
anything but yourself, do you?
- Wouldn't go quite that far.
- Shut up!
- [Jimbo] What are you,
what are you doing?
- Just refreshing your memory.
- Hey!
No!
Hey!
She's not taking this
as well as I thought.
- During our relationship,
I bought or paid for
the following items,
tropical fish, $327,
fish tank, $609,
fish tank delivery, $49.50,
fish food, $11.95,
having the fish tank removed
when you forgot to feed the fish, $30.
- I'm starting to remember.
- Cooking classes, $375.
Golf clubs, $1,200.
Painting my kitchen after
your chicken, $400.
Glass company for the
new window, 230...
- Okay, okay, I get the point!
- That brings the grand total
to a tidy sum of $4,500.
- That's a lot of money.
- I've got all the receipts.
- You kept the receipts?
- Now this is the part you
should really listen to.
Are you listening?
- You have my full and
undivided attention.
- You have until lunchtime
today to pay up.
Now, I don't mean your
usual roll out of bed
at four in the afternoon and
have a bowl of cereal lunch.
I mean mine, one P.M. sharp at big sky.
Is that clear?
- Crystal.
It's funny.
I thought we might be able
to, you know, stay friends.
(Jimbo screams)
- You better pay up!
Next time, I'll drop you
off the harbor bridge!
Remember, one P.M. sharp.
(Woman vocalizes)
- Look, I'm really sorry about this.
If you just want to make
yourselves some coffee.
Excuse me.
Jimbo, where have you been?
- Somebody threw me off a bridge.
- Oh, how inconvenient.
- [Jimbo] It's true.
- I believe you.
I don't know why, but I do.
The point is you missed
your double charter.
- Sorry.
- You were sorry yesterday
with that taxi problem.
You were sorry on Tuesday
when you locked yourself
in the bathroom.
You were sorry last week when,
what was it?
- When my grandfather died.
- I thought it was your grandmother.
- Oh, no, grandfather.
- Jimbo, look, I can't
keep asking people
to cover for you all the time.
You're getting too selfish.
I'm serious.
- Yeah, okay.
I'm sorry.
Chris, can I have a word?
- [Chris] Sure.
- Any chance that you could
lend us 4,500 bucks?
(Chris chuckles)
Scotty, mate, can I have a word?
Excuse us, Lexie.
- Yeah.
- Mate, you couldn't lend
us 4,500 bucks, could you?
- (Scoffs) Good one.
- I'm not joking.
Why does everyone think I'm joking?
- Because you never pay
back what you borrow.
- Don't I?
- [Scotty] Hey, look, if it'll help,
I got a hot tip for a
sure thing at (Mumbles).
- Great.
Do you reckon you could
lend us 10 bucks?
- [Scotty] Sorry, man, I'm broke.
I punted a lot.
- [Jimbo] Lauren, I'd
like to talk to you.
- Sure, come in.
- I need an advance on my pay.
- (Chuckles) You're not serious.
- I am.
I've got a big problem.
- I can't believe this
after our conversation in here earlier.
An advance on what?
From what I can see, you don't
do any work around here.
- Is that a no?
- [Lauren] Of course it's a no.
- Bernie never said no.
- That's all I ever hear,
Bernie this, Bernie that.
Jimbo, as I'm sure you can
see, I am not Bernie.
- Yeah, well, Bernie never
looked any good in green.
Look, could you just
make this one exception?
It's really important to me.
- [Lauren] No!
- Please!
Please! - No, no more advances!
Those days are gone.
- I said you look good in green.
- The door's open.
- Look, if you could just
see it from my perspective.
I mean, I know that the money
doesn't mean much to you,
but like to me, it's...
- Jimbo.
Can it.
Give it a rest.
What?
- Do you mind?
I was having a conversation.
- Well, I could see you
getting pissed off,
so I thought I'd get
rid of him for you.
- And you don't think I
could have done that?
They're gonna have to learn
to respect my authority
or I'm gonna get nowhere here.
- Okay.
- Look, I'm not saying I
don't need your help.
- Yes, you are.
That's exactly what you're saying.
- No, I just...
It doesn't matter.
- Christo, call for you.
- Shay, we're in a meeting.
Can it wait?
- Oh, it's urgent.
Sar on line two.
- Chris manning.
Yeah, okay.
Call you from the air.
- What's sar?
- Search and rescue.
- [Chris] We've got a sinking
yacht off the head (Mumbles).
- So who does the charters if
we're on a search and rescue?
- Lauren, this is the priority.
- [Lauren] How often does this happen?
- [Chris] Often enough.
- It's ridiculous.
- Yeah, okay, thanks anyway.
- Yeah! (Laughs)
How much did you have on her?
- I didn't have anything to put on her.
- [Scotty] That's unfortunate.
- Scotty, jimbo, we've got a search.
(Ominous music)
Charlie-tango-delta, this
is tango-whiskey-Sierra.
- [Jimbo] Charlie-tango-delta.
Having any luck?
- [Chris] No, how about you?
- Nada.
- We're pretty close to the coast.
Does this feel right to you?
- [Jimbo] What do you mean?
- I don't know.
I reckon they got their
coordinates wrong or something.
I tell you what.
I'll do one more pass
along the second quadrant
if you take the first tracking south.
- You got it, Charlie-tango-delta.
Tango-whiskey-Sierra, this
is Charlie-tango-delta.
- Go ahead, Charlie-tango.
- Lexie, is there any chance
you could loan me a lousy 5,000 bucks?
- That's a negative, Charlie-tango.
I'm a little skint at the moment.
- Just wondering, Charlie-tango-delta.
- [Man on radio] Searching
for (Mumbles) Code 4019.
This is sar control.
We regret that the
distress call was a hoax.
There is no sinking yacht.
Repeat, no yacht in distress.
The search is called
off as at 1148 hours.
Thank you for your time.
Sar, out.
- Like I'm surprised.
- Waste of time.
- I don't believe it, they're early.
Mate!
Can you take my covert job and
I'll do your narrow ride?
It's really important.
- Sure.
- Thanks!
- Can I help you?
- Out of the way, pal.
- I don't think so.
- Look, your friend owes money,
and it's time to pay up.
So how about you get out of the way?
- I'll tell you what I'll do.
How about I get the airport cops
and a few of those big
blokes over there?
- You just make sure he knows.
We'll get him sooner or later.
- [Jimbo] Tango-whiskey-Sierra,
clearance strip 7,000,
score code 2365.
- [Man on radio]
Tango-whiskey-Sierra, confirm 7,000
code 2365.
- How long does that take?
- About 12 weeks.
- It's ridiculous.
Who set up this system?
You mean every time there's
one of these SARS,
we just cancel charters,
send people home,
and wait three months to be paid?
- That's about the size of it.
But what if it wasn't a hoax.
What do you wanna do, just
ignore the stress calls?
- No, I'm not suggesting that.
I'm just saying that there should be
a compromise or something.
Did we volunteer for this ting or...
- No, we drew the short straw.
- Oh, that can't be right.
This is just so chaotic.
- Lauren, this is an aviation company.
It's not an exact science.
You can't plan for everything.
- [Radio announcer] Now
don't forget excite fm's
navstar 3 competition
is up and running.
All you have to do is
be the first person
to bring any part of the spacecraft
to our Sydney studios by eight P.M.
tonight
and we'll give you
$100,000 cold hard cash.
- 100 grand?
- [Radio announcer] 100 grand.
Imagine what you can do with that.
Okay, reports just ahead
confirms that navstar 3 has started.
It's big.
Keep an eye out, and we
promise you, you bring us
part of the spacecraft and
you'll get $100,000 cash.
- Thank you.
- Lauren!
What would you like to hear?
- Uh, what have you got?
- Oh, same old stuff.
- Everything's like so '80s.
- I always stand here staring
and I never choose anything.
- Oh, have you heard about this?
- NASA has confirmed that
navstar 3, a military satellite
from the cold war era will lose orbit
and crash somewhere in the
southwest pacific today.
- Excite am are giving away
$100,000 to the first person
to bring a chunk of satellite wreckage
to their office by tonight.
Oh, that'd be so cool to win.
(Ominous music)
- Big sky, this is
tango-whiskey-Sierra.
I'm putting down immediately
and will be out of radio
contact for a short while.
- [Man on radio] Tango-whiskey-Sierra,
this is big sky (Mumbles).
(Suspenseful music)
- Where can I land this crate?
Mine!
Get out of it! 1
(man grunts)
Hey!
That's mine!
Why don't I fly you back with it?
We can split the prize money 50/50.
- I can drive there by tonight.
Why would I split it?
- Good point, and to
which I say two words,
comfort and speed.
My plane is both
comfortable and speedy,
making your trip to the city a
very pleasurable experience.
- Get lost.
- Okay, sure, it doesn't
have to be 50/50.
- No, that's right.
It doesn't have to be anything.
- Okay, how does 60/40 strike you?
- How about I strike you?
- 70/30?
- Look, what about 100-nothing, pal?
Forget it.
I don't need you.
(Engine stalls)
- See you later.
If you start walking now,
you should make it to the
city right about August.
- Hang on!
Wait a second!
Look, maybe you're right.
Maybe comfort and speed are important.
I tell you what.
If you fly me and me
cylinder back to the city,
yeah, all right, 70/30.
No worries.
- 70/30.
- Oh!
All right!
- Hi, guys.
No one's playing any music.
- I'm bored to tears with that stuff.
- I've got a good idea.
Why don't we get rid of the thing?
- Get rid of it?
- What, all together?
- What is it?
What's the problem?
- It's part of the family.
It was born here.
- Oh, look at it.
It was born before I was.
Chris, it's a piece of
machinery no one ever uses.
I'm suggesting a whole
new range of music,
big speakers, the lot.
Well?
- [Jimbo] Comfort and speed,
my friend, comfort and speed.
(Ominous music)
- Hey, what was that?
- Oh, it's nothing.
Don't worry about it.
- Chris.
- Hmm.
- The jukebox, what's the big deal?
No one ever uses it.
Lexie hates all the songs on it.
There's nothing after 1993.
It just seems to sit there
in the corner flashing.
- Have you got a favorite song?
- [Lauren] What's that
got to do with it?
- I bet I could play
you a song, one song,
and you'd change your mind.
- You're just changing the subject.
Do they want new music or not?
- Oh, the juke's not about music.
The juke's about songs.
- What's the difference?
- Well, music's on the radio.
You can play music at home.
You don't hear it.
But with the juke, you
put a buck in the slot
and then you wait, and
then you hear your song.
- Am I missing something?
- Obviously.
- [Jimbo] Bis sky base, this
is tango-whiskey-Sierra.
- Tango-whiskey-Sierra,
this is big sky base.
Jimbo, what are you up to?
- Shay, I found the navstar satellite,
the one with the hundred grand reward.
Hoo-hoo!
- Oh, my god!
Truly, are you serious?
- [Jimbo] Yeah.
- Lauren, Lauren!
Guess what?
Jimbo found the satellite!
He's gonna win!
It's brilliant!
- You're kidding.
I don't believe it.
- [Shay] This is so exciting.
What does sit look like?
- Jimbo, this is Lauren.
This isn't one of your scams, is it?
- No, honest.
It landed in my lap.
I've got it right here, and the
bloke who helped me find it.
- That's amazing, $100,000.
I don't need to pay you anymore.
- You wish.
Could you ring the radio station,
let them know I'm on my way?
- Yeah, I'll call 'em.
Congratulations.
How does he do it?
- (Giggles) I don't know.
- So after I pay Stacey back,
I'm either gonna restore the triumph
or get one of those
new BMW convertibles,
you know, the one in the
new James Bond film.
Ah, stuff it.
I'll bet the bimmer.
I reckon Pierce brosnan is
a much better James Bond
than that Timothy Dalton
wanker, don't you?
- I wouldn't know, mate.
- Hey, if you're upset about the deal,
you shouldn't be.
I mean, 70/30 is pretty good.
I mean, you weren't
even gonna cut me in.
- Yeah.
It's just that...
- What?
- Ah, it don't matter.
- No, what?
- Well, me crop got swept
away in the floods last year.
I lost everything.
I was gonna use the money
to buy me property back
from the bank, you know.
- What, they took it?
Bastards.
- You don't know the half of it, mate.
- Well, that 30k will help, won't it?
- Yeah.
- What's the problem?
- Ah, nothing.
- No, what?
- It's just that I owe
them 85 grand, you know.
- Oh.
What say you look at the wreck
and hold on to our investment?
- It's still bloody hot.
- Yes, he's got the
wreckage onboard now.
I don't know.
He just said it was a
piece of wreckage.
It's what?
Who said?
Where did you get this information?
Yeah.
Yes, I do.
Thank you.
Can you go and find Chris
and tell him I need
him in here quickly?
Thanks.
Tango-whiskey-Sierra,
this is big sky base.
- This is tango-whiskey-Sierra.
Go ahead, big sky.
- [Lauren] Listen, jimbo.
I spoke to excite am.
- Oh, great.
So where do we take it?
- Nowhere.
Apparently, it could
be really dangerous.
- Excuse me?
- [Lauren] Whereabouts
is it in the plane?
Apparently, the us embassy
heard about the contest
and they've issued a statement
saying that the navstar wreckage
should not be approached
under any circumstances.
- Approached?
Did they say how dangerous?
- [Lauren] No, no details.
- Ask about the money.
Do we still get our prize money?
- I'm gonna call the us consulate
and I'll get back to you as
soon as I know more, okay?
- Thank you, big sky.
(Ominous music)
- Mark johannsen, us consulate.
We spoke a little earlier.
- How do you do?
Oh, Chris.
This is my chief pilot, Chris manning.
- What's going on?
- Jimbo's in the (Mumbles)
With a piece of that crashed satellite.
Apparently, it's dangerous.
- Well, it might not be.
Let me just talk to your boys
and we'll see what we got here.
What's the call sign?
- Tango-whiskey-Sierra.
- What's the pilot's name?
- Jimbo, James.
- What's he like?
Is he reliable or is
he likely to panic?
- Well, he's not reliable.
- He's unlikely to panic.
- Okay, tango-whiskey-Sierra,
this is big sky base.
Mark johannsen from the us consulate.
Do you read me there, jimbo?
- This is tango-whiskey-Sierra,
big sky.
What the hell's going on?
- That's what I wanna find out.
Now, I need you to describe to me
exactly what it is you
have onboard there.
- Well, it's a black cylinder,
a bit bigger than a footy.
I couldn't tell you what it's
made of, some kind of metal.
It's got wires running down it
and sort of an electrical
thingie at one end.
- [Mark] Is this
cylinder leaking liquid?
Or is it in any way cracked?
- It looks all right.
- It doesn't appear to be cracked.
- Good.
- Yeah, that's gotta be bad.
- Actually, there's a
crack running down it
and there's a sort of
liquid glooping out.
- How much has leaked out?
- [Jimbo] Oh, I don't know,
about a schooner's worth.
- What's a schooner?
- 15 ounces.
- Have you had any
contact with the liquid?
- No.
Why?
What is it?
- Don't worry, just don't touch it.
But right now, I need you to
sit tight just for a minute.
What's the plane's eta here?
- 15 minutes.
- Well, that's all the time we got.
I need them on the
ground for sure by then.
- There's no guarantee
with the traffic,
not unless we arrange a
priority landing clearance.
- Good, let's do it.
- Well, they're not gonna retrack jimbo
unless there's a real big reason.
- [Mark] Like what?
- Like a crisis on the aircraft,
life and death situation.
- Well, you tell 'em we got both.
- How about you tell me first?
- I will, just get me
that priority landing.
You can tell them whatever you want,
but we need them on the ground asap.
I appreciate it.
Is this an outside line?
- Ah, yes, it is.
- Yeah, it's me.
I'm at the big sky base.
It looks like their guy
has got the power mod.
Now, I need you to call the nec
and tell them it's a code g.
Yeah, put me on with Brock.
(Alarm blares) (Suspenseful music)
- We got a priority landing
clearance on runway 16 left.
- Good.
- Tango-whiskey-Sierra,
this is big sky.
You will proceed to
(Mumbles) Where you have
a priority landing clearance
on runway 16 left.
- Priority?
Chris, what the hell is going on?
- I'll let you know, jimbo.
Big sky, out.
Okay, Mr. johannsen.
It's your turn.
- Let's just say I'd rather
be here than in that plane.
- Well, let's hear it.
- Big sky, this is
tango-whiskey-Sierra.
Why do we have priority?
If there's a problem, we
can Chuck this thing out.
- What?
No way!
- Listen, you don't have priority
unless there's a big problem.
You want that thing to go off?
- What do you eman go off?
What is it?
- Chris, can we have the exact
reason for the priority.
I mean, we gotta know.
- Tango-whiskey-Sierra,
there is no emergency.
Repeat, no emergency.
It's just precaution.
The cylinder you have onboard there
contains a delicate
scientific experiment,
and the loss of liquid
from the cylinder
has put it in jeopardy.
So we wanna get it down here
just as quickly as possible.
- Yes!
- Thank you, big sky.
Sydney tower, this is
tango-whiskey-Sierra.
Maintaining 1,500 feet
with runway in sight.
- [Man on radio] Tango-whiskey-Sierra,
cleared for visual approach.
All stations in Sydney,
expect a delay due to emergency
with arriving aircraft.
Romeo-hotel-Sierra, maintain 3,000.
(Siren blares)
- It's leaking.
- Leaking?
How much?
- 15, 20 ounces.
- Damn.
- [Mark] So what are we looking at?
- 20 ounces an hour,
12, 15 minutes maybe.
- Good.
The plane's eta is six minutes.
They should be well and
truly on the ground.
We're home free.
- What's wrong?
- You don't wanna know.
Blue sky base, this is
tango-whiskey-Sierra.
Chris, I've got a slight problem.
The front landing gear
won't lock into place.
- Ah, I knew it.
You wrecked it when we took off.
Hey, I know, whack that light.
That'll fix it.
- Shut up.
Chris, yeah, confirming that.
The front landing gear
will not lock into place.
- Tango-whiskey-Sierra,
this is big sky.
Stand by.
Your move.
- Tell him to abort the landing.
- You're kidding.
- You said you wanted him
down as soon as possible.
- Tell him.
- Well, I'm not gonna tell him
unless I got a good reason.
- You wanna save your pilot?
I'm not playing games here.
- Jimbo, this is Chris.
Abort and go around.
- Chris, you're kidding.
I can land this thing with
or without the landing gear.
You know that.
- Tango-whiskey-Sierra,
this is big sky.
I repeat, go around for now.
I'll get back to you.
- Chris, what the hell is going on?
I'm gonna have to land
this thing soon anyway.
It's gonna be dry as a Martini.
- [Chris] You heard him.
- No, it's too risky.
- Too risky?
Their lives are more important
than your cylinder.
- No, they're not.
Now, under no circumstances
can he land that aircraft.
- This doesn't make sense.
You said it wasn't an emergency.
Now, you can't have it both ways.
- Lauren Allen?
- Yeah.
Len crichton, foreign affairs.
- [Lauren] How do you do?
- Hey.
- [Lauren] This is...
- Yeah, yeah, we're already
acquainted, thanks.
We liaise on matters
of mutual interest,
or supposed to (Mumbles).
Sometimes the wires get a bit crossed.
- Well, the wires have got
a little crossed now.
Do you have any authority in this?
- Yes, I do.
- Then I would like some information
about what's happening.
We've got a pilot who's
apparently in danger,
and all we're getting is the runaround
in an American accent.
Now, either someone comes clean
or I start making phone calls.
- The navstar 3 was a
nuclear-powered satellite.
Its power mod cylinder contains
two rods of thorium 90,
a highly radioactive metal.
If your plane crashes,
the rods might shatter,
sending radioactive
shrapnel everywhere.
Suburbs for miles around
would have to be evacuated.
- You're saying a nuclear explosion.
- No, no, no, a conventional
explosion but a big one.
It's the spreading of radioactive
debris that's the problem.
- You see, our American cousins
don't wanna be responsible
for contaminating half the city.
- Jimbo, this is Chris.
That thing you got
onboard is radioactive.
- Radioactive?
I changed my mind, mate.
You can have the 100%.
- What do you expect me to do,
fly around till I glow in the dark?
Chris, I can still land this thing.
- No, he must abort the landing.
- Can I talk to him?
Listen, mate.
This is len crichton, foreign affairs.
Now, you must do as you're told.
If you don't do as directed,
you're in serious breach
of aviation regulations.
- If you wanna arrest
me, you know what,
as soon as I'm safely on the ground.
- If he tries to land that
thing, I promise you,
he will lose his license and
this company's in trouble.
I'm dead serious.
- [Jimbo] Big sky, this
is tango-whiskey-Sierra.
I'm on my final landing approach.
I'm sorry, Chris.
I just thought I'd let you know.
- Good on you, mate.
- Jimbo, this is Chris.
If you land that aircraft
and anything goes wrong,
we could have radioactivity
spread all through the suburbs.
- You can't tell me to do this, Chris.
I can land it.
You know that.
- I'm not telling you anything, jimbo.
I'm asking you.
There's a big difference.
- Hey, watch what you're doing!
- Okay, Chris, no landing.
You win.
What now?
- Tango-whiskey-Sierra,
this is big sky.
Stand by.
Okay, gentlemen.
The ball's in your court.
- Okay, we're gonna need the
optimum coordinates for ditch.
- Ditch?
You're not ditching my plane.
- Sorry.
- No, excuse me.
If you make the decision
to ditch that plane,
then you take the responsibility.
I see no reason why we should...
- Okay, okay.
It's all right.
- Right, the coordinates.
We can make it just
off the tasman shelf.
- [Lauren] So you're
gonna knowingly dump
radioactive material into the ocean?
- That's exactly what we
did with the Apollo 13
(mumbles) After the onboard explosion.
It had the same power
supply as the navstar.
Dropped it a couple of hundred miles
off the coast of New Zealand,
a long way from those astronauts.
- I never even heard that happened.
- Then we did a good job.
- What about jimbo and his mate?
You got an aircraft carrier for them?
- [Mark] That's where he's going.
(Ominous music)
- Hey, more of that
liquid's leaked out.
- You're right.
Chris, if I was to tell you
that another schooner's worth
of that liquid's leaked out,
what would those blokes say?
- 40 ounces, cool it.
- [Jimbo] Big sky, this
is tango-whiskey-Sierra.
Chris, come on, mate.
- Come on, what are we gonna tell him?
- Educated guess, we've got
five minutes, maybe less
before that core goes hot.
- And we can presume what hot means.
- Without a coolant, (Mumbles)
Overheat to critical
and that plane goes sky high.
Get him to those coordinates
as fast as possible.
- These men are expendable, am I right?
I thought as much.
Jimbo, this is Chris.
Track directly east, southeast
then ditch the place off the coast.
That thing's gonna blow
up in five minutes.
- Explode?
Why didn't you tell us before?
- I think I'm gonna spew.
- All right, that's
it, it's outta here.
We're gonna Chuck it out.
Get the emergency door.
- No, don't touch it or the liquid.
That'll increase your chances
of being contaminated a hundredfold.
- Oh, man.
- Okay, jimbo, we're on our own here.
This is what we're gonna do.
- Jimbo's a dead man.
That (Mumbles) Thing is gonna
go critical in four minutes.
- What do you mean go critical?
- Or something.
- [Chris] Final set of
coordinates, 79053.
- I'll set the coordinates.
The plane is on auto pilot.
What now?
- Now you're gonna parachute out.
- What?
No way!
- Lexie says there should
be four parachutes
in the luggage compartment
at the back of the plane.
- Stand by.
Have a look in the compartment
for some parachutes.
If you don't find any, don't tell me.
- God, if you ever get me out of this,
I promise I'll be a better bloke.
I'll spend more time
with Anna and Barry.
- I thought you said you lost
Anna and Barry in the flood.
- I'm gonna stop lying all the time.
(Suspenseful music) (Engine beeps)
- Is it supposed to do that?
- There's no parachutes!
- Keep looking.
- We're not really gonna jump, are we?
- Well, you got a better idea?
- [Man] I've never done it before!
- Just shut up and keep looking!
- Jimbo, you've got two minutes
to ditch that aircraft.
- Oh, no.
- I gotta tell you something.
- Strap one of those on.
- [Man] It's important!
- Come on, come on.
No!
- What are you doing?
- I'm trying to set the autopilot
so we can jump out of this plane
and it won't follow us down.
- [Man] What?
- Thank you.
- [Chris] Get out of there!
I repeat, get out of there, jimbo!
- I can't do it.
- [Jimbo] You have to.
The plane's about to blow up.
- But I'm scared of heights.
- It's not that high.
- That's what I was trying
to tell you before.
- Well, I'm scared of explosions,
so you better get over it.
- [Chris] Jimbo, you've
got less than a minute.
- Okay, okay.
- Oh, this has been a shocker of a day!
Okay, two words, comfort and speed.
It'll be a lot more comfortable
if we're down on the ground
when this thing blows up.
And the speediest way to
get there is to jump.
- What do I do?
- Don't worry!
Trust me!
(Suspenseful music)
(Explosion blasts)
(Alarm blares)
- Who are you guys?
- Nec.
- What's that?
- The nuclear energy corporation.
- Well, where are you taking us?
- Speak with the director later.
(Suspenseful music)
- [Nec officer] They're
still reading high.
We gotta go again.
- [Lauren] I've been thinking.
You can have your advance, $4,500.
- Thanks.
- [Lauren] But it's the last time.
- Okay.
Oh, you couldn't make 5,120 could you
so I can pay 'em all back?
I found out there's a few others.
- Okay, but that's it.
- Thanks.
- What's the prognosis?
When do you find out if you're...
- Contaminated?
- Hmm.
- Apparently not till next week.
- If there's anything I can
do, you just let me know.
I better go.
I've got some work to
do back at the base.
- 50/50?
- [Jimbo] What about 100-nothing?

(Woman vocalizes)
- Let go!
What do you want? (Grunts)
Stacey, call the police!
I'm being robbed!
- I know.
I asked them to.
- Why?
- You slept with Rhonda.
- Oh.
- Oh?
Is that all you can say, oh?
- Sorry?
That's just not good enough.
I mean, how could you?
How could you wreck our relationship?
And with Rhonda jacobi.
I mean, she's at least three
inches taller than you.
- It was a spur of the moment thing!
- Oh, right.
Well, this is a spur of the
moment thing too, okay?
Meet my cousins, Bruno and Ralph.
They're just here to help
us sort a few things out,
like the money you owe me.
- Do I owe you money?
- Yes, you owe me money.
You're not seriously gonna
say that you don't remember.
Oh, jimbo, you never think of
anything but yourself, do you?
- Wouldn't go quite that far.
- Shut up!
- [Jimbo] What are you,
what are you doing?
- Just refreshing your memory.
- Hey!
No!
Hey!
She's not taking this
as well as I thought.
- During our relationship,
I bought or paid for
the following items,
tropical fish, $327,
fish tank, $609,
fish tank delivery, $49.50,
fish food, $11.95,
having the fish tank removed
when you forgot to feed the fish, $30.
- I'm starting to remember.
- Cooking classes, $375.
Golf clubs, $1,200.
Painting my kitchen after
your chicken, $400.
Glass company for the
new window, 230...
- Okay, okay, I get the point!
- That brings the grand total
to a tidy sum of $4,500.
- That's a lot of money.
- I've got all the receipts.
- You kept the receipts?
- Now this is the part you
should really listen to.
Are you listening?
- You have my full and
undivided attention.
- You have until lunchtime
today to pay up.
Now, I don't mean your
usual roll out of bed
at four in the afternoon and
have a bowl of cereal lunch.
I mean mine, one P.M. sharp at big sky.
Is that clear?
- Crystal.
It's funny.
I thought we might be able
to, you know, stay friends.
(Jimbo screams)
- You better pay up!
Next time, I'll drop you
off the harbor bridge!
Remember, one P.M. sharp.
(Woman vocalizes)
- Look, I'm really sorry about this.
If you just want to make
yourselves some coffee.
Excuse me.
Jimbo, where have you been?
- Somebody threw me off a bridge.
- Oh, how inconvenient.
- [Jimbo] It's true.
- I believe you.
I don't know why, but I do.
The point is you missed
your double charter.
- Sorry.
- You were sorry yesterday
with that taxi problem.
You were sorry on Tuesday
when you locked yourself
in the bathroom.
You were sorry last week when,
what was it?
- When my grandfather died.
- I thought it was your grandmother.
- Oh, no, grandfather.
- Jimbo, look, I can't
keep asking people
to cover for you all the time.
You're getting too selfish.
I'm serious.
- Yeah, okay.
I'm sorry.
Chris, can I have a word?
- [Chris] Sure.
- Any chance that you could
lend us 4,500 bucks?
(Chris chuckles)
Scotty, mate, can I have a word?
Excuse us, Lexie.
- Yeah.
- Mate, you couldn't lend
us 4,500 bucks, could you?
- (Scoffs) Good one.
- I'm not joking.
Why does everyone think I'm joking?
- Because you never pay
back what you borrow.
- Don't I?
- [Scotty] Hey, look, if it'll help,
I got a hot tip for a
sure thing at (Mumbles).
- Great.
Do you reckon you could
lend us 10 bucks?
- [Scotty] Sorry, man, I'm broke.
I punted a lot.
- [Jimbo] Lauren, I'd
like to talk to you.
- Sure, come in.
- I need an advance on my pay.
- (Chuckles) You're not serious.
- I am.
I've got a big problem.
- I can't believe this
after our conversation in here earlier.
An advance on what?
From what I can see, you don't
do any work around here.
- Is that a no?
- [Lauren] Of course it's a no.
- Bernie never said no.
- That's all I ever hear,
Bernie this, Bernie that.
Jimbo, as I'm sure you can
see, I am not Bernie.
- Yeah, well, Bernie never
looked any good in green.
Look, could you just
make this one exception?
It's really important to me.
- [Lauren] No!
- Please!
Please! - No, no more advances!
Those days are gone.
- I said you look good in green.
- The door's open.
- Look, if you could just
see it from my perspective.
I mean, I know that the money
doesn't mean much to you,
but like to me, it's...
- Jimbo.
Can it.
Give it a rest.
What?
- Do you mind?
I was having a conversation.
- Well, I could see you
getting pissed off,
so I thought I'd get
rid of him for you.
- And you don't think I
could have done that?
They're gonna have to learn
to respect my authority
or I'm gonna get nowhere here.
- Okay.
- Look, I'm not saying I
don't need your help.
- Yes, you are.
That's exactly what you're saying.
- No, I just...
It doesn't matter.
- Christo, call for you.
- Shay, we're in a meeting.
Can it wait?
- Oh, it's urgent.
Sar on line two.
- Chris manning.
Yeah, okay.
Call you from the air.
- What's sar?
- Search and rescue.
- [Chris] We've got a sinking
yacht off the head (Mumbles).
- So who does the charters if
we're on a search and rescue?
- Lauren, this is the priority.
- [Lauren] How often does this happen?
- [Chris] Often enough.
- It's ridiculous.
- Yeah, okay, thanks anyway.
- Yeah! (Laughs)
How much did you have on her?
- I didn't have anything to put on her.
- [Scotty] That's unfortunate.
- Scotty, jimbo, we've got a search.
(Ominous music)
Charlie-tango-delta, this
is tango-whiskey-Sierra.
- [Jimbo] Charlie-tango-delta.
Having any luck?
- [Chris] No, how about you?
- Nada.
- We're pretty close to the coast.
Does this feel right to you?
- [Jimbo] What do you mean?
- I don't know.
I reckon they got their
coordinates wrong or something.
I tell you what.
I'll do one more pass
along the second quadrant
if you take the first tracking south.
- You got it, Charlie-tango-delta.
Tango-whiskey-Sierra, this
is Charlie-tango-delta.
- Go ahead, Charlie-tango.
- Lexie, is there any chance
you could loan me a lousy 5,000 bucks?
- That's a negative, Charlie-tango.
I'm a little skint at the moment.
- Just wondering, Charlie-tango-delta.
- [Man on radio] Searching
for (Mumbles) Code 4019.
This is sar control.
We regret that the
distress call was a hoax.
There is no sinking yacht.
Repeat, no yacht in distress.
The search is called
off as at 1148 hours.
Thank you for your time.
Sar, out.
- Like I'm surprised.
- Waste of time.
- I don't believe it, they're early.
Mate!
Can you take my covert job and
I'll do your narrow ride?
It's really important.
- Sure.
- Thanks!
- Can I help you?
- Out of the way, pal.
- I don't think so.
- Look, your friend owes money,
and it's time to pay up.
So how about you get out of the way?
- I'll tell you what I'll do.
How about I get the airport cops
and a few of those big
blokes over there?
- You just make sure he knows.
We'll get him sooner or later.
- [Jimbo] Tango-whiskey-Sierra,
clearance strip 7,000,
score code 2365.
- [Man on radio]
Tango-whiskey-Sierra, confirm 7,000
code 2365.
- How long does that take?
- About 12 weeks.
- It's ridiculous.
Who set up this system?
You mean every time there's
one of these SARS,
we just cancel charters,
send people home,
and wait three months to be paid?
- That's about the size of it.
But what if it wasn't a hoax.
What do you wanna do, just
ignore the stress calls?
- No, I'm not suggesting that.
I'm just saying that there should be
a compromise or something.
Did we volunteer for this ting or...
- No, we drew the short straw.
- Oh, that can't be right.
This is just so chaotic.
- Lauren, this is an aviation company.
It's not an exact science.
You can't plan for everything.
- [Radio announcer] Now
don't forget excite fm's
navstar 3 competition
is up and running.
All you have to do is
be the first person
to bring any part of the spacecraft
to our Sydney studios by eight P.M.
tonight
and we'll give you
$100,000 cold hard cash.
- 100 grand?
- [Radio announcer] 100 grand.
Imagine what you can do with that.
Okay, reports just ahead
confirms that navstar 3 has started.
It's big.
Keep an eye out, and we
promise you, you bring us
part of the spacecraft and
you'll get $100,000 cash.
- Thank you.
- Lauren!
What would you like to hear?
- Uh, what have you got?
- Oh, same old stuff.
- Everything's like so '80s.
- I always stand here staring
and I never choose anything.
- Oh, have you heard about this?
- NASA has confirmed that
navstar 3, a military satellite
from the cold war era will lose orbit
and crash somewhere in the
southwest pacific today.
- Excite am are giving away
$100,000 to the first person
to bring a chunk of satellite wreckage
to their office by tonight.
Oh, that'd be so cool to win.
(Ominous music)
- Big sky, this is
tango-whiskey-Sierra.
I'm putting down immediately
and will be out of radio
contact for a short while.
- [Man on radio] Tango-whiskey-Sierra,
this is big sky (Mumbles).
(Suspenseful music)
- Where can I land this crate?
Mine!
Get out of it! 1
(man grunts)
Hey!
That's mine!
Why don't I fly you back with it?
We can split the prize money 50/50.
- I can drive there by tonight.
Why would I split it?
- Good point, and to
which I say two words,
comfort and speed.
My plane is both
comfortable and speedy,
making your trip to the city a
very pleasurable experience.
- Get lost.
- Okay, sure, it doesn't
have to be 50/50.
- No, that's right.
It doesn't have to be anything.
- Okay, how does 60/40 strike you?
- How about I strike you?
- 70/30?
- Look, what about 100-nothing, pal?
Forget it.
I don't need you.
(Engine stalls)
- See you later.
If you start walking now,
you should make it to the
city right about August.
- Hang on!
Wait a second!
Look, maybe you're right.
Maybe comfort and speed are important.
I tell you what.
If you fly me and me
cylinder back to the city,
yeah, all right, 70/30.
No worries.
- 70/30.
- Oh!
All right!
- Hi, guys.
No one's playing any music.
- I'm bored to tears with that stuff.
- I've got a good idea.
Why don't we get rid of the thing?
- Get rid of it?
- What, all together?
- What is it?
What's the problem?
- It's part of the family.
It was born here.
- Oh, look at it.
It was born before I was.
Chris, it's a piece of
machinery no one ever uses.
I'm suggesting a whole
new range of music,
big speakers, the lot.
Well?
- [Jimbo] Comfort and speed,
my friend, comfort and speed.
(Ominous music)
- Hey, what was that?
- Oh, it's nothing.
Don't worry about it.
- Chris.
- Hmm.
- The jukebox, what's the big deal?
No one ever uses it.
Lexie hates all the songs on it.
There's nothing after 1993.
It just seems to sit there
in the corner flashing.
- Have you got a favorite song?
- [Lauren] What's that
got to do with it?
- I bet I could play
you a song, one song,
and you'd change your mind.
- You're just changing the subject.
Do they want new music or not?
- Oh, the juke's not about music.
The juke's about songs.
- What's the difference?
- Well, music's on the radio.
You can play music at home.
You don't hear it.
But with the juke, you
put a buck in the slot
and then you wait, and
then you hear your song.
- Am I missing something?
- Obviously.
- [Jimbo] Bis sky base, this
is tango-whiskey-Sierra.
- Tango-whiskey-Sierra,
this is big sky base.
Jimbo, what are you up to?
- Shay, I found the navstar satellite,
the one with the hundred grand reward.
Hoo-hoo!
- Oh, my god!
Truly, are you serious?
- [Jimbo] Yeah.
- Lauren, Lauren!
Guess what?
Jimbo found the satellite!
He's gonna win!
It's brilliant!
- You're kidding.
I don't believe it.
- [Shay] This is so exciting.
What does sit look like?
- Jimbo, this is Lauren.
This isn't one of your scams, is it?
- No, honest.
It landed in my lap.
I've got it right here, and the
bloke who helped me find it.
- That's amazing, $100,000.
I don't need to pay you anymore.
- You wish.
Could you ring the radio station,
let them know I'm on my way?
- Yeah, I'll call 'em.
Congratulations.
How does he do it?
- (Giggles) I don't know.
- So after I pay Stacey back,
I'm either gonna restore the triumph
or get one of those
new BMW convertibles,
you know, the one in the
new James Bond film.
Ah, stuff it.
I'll bet the bimmer.
I reckon Pierce brosnan is
a much better James Bond
than that Timothy Dalton
wanker, don't you?
- I wouldn't know, mate.
- Hey, if you're upset about the deal,
you shouldn't be.
I mean, 70/30 is pretty good.
I mean, you weren't
even gonna cut me in.
- Yeah.
It's just that...
- What?
- Ah, it don't matter.
- No, what?
- Well, me crop got swept
away in the floods last year.
I lost everything.
I was gonna use the money
to buy me property back
from the bank, you know.
- What, they took it?
Bastards.
- You don't know the half of it, mate.
- Well, that 30k will help, won't it?
- Yeah.
- What's the problem?
- Ah, nothing.
- No, what?
- It's just that I owe
them 85 grand, you know.
- Oh.
What say you look at the wreck
and hold on to our investment?
- It's still bloody hot.
- Yes, he's got the
wreckage onboard now.
I don't know.
He just said it was a
piece of wreckage.
It's what?
Who said?
Where did you get this information?
Yeah.
Yes, I do.
Thank you.
Can you go and find Chris
and tell him I need
him in here quickly?
Thanks.
Tango-whiskey-Sierra,
this is big sky base.
- This is tango-whiskey-Sierra.
Go ahead, big sky.
- [Lauren] Listen, jimbo.
I spoke to excite am.
- Oh, great.
So where do we take it?
- Nowhere.
Apparently, it could
be really dangerous.
- Excuse me?
- [Lauren] Whereabouts
is it in the plane?
Apparently, the us embassy
heard about the contest
and they've issued a statement
saying that the navstar wreckage
should not be approached
under any circumstances.
- Approached?
Did they say how dangerous?
- [Lauren] No, no details.
- Ask about the money.
Do we still get our prize money?
- I'm gonna call the us consulate
and I'll get back to you as
soon as I know more, okay?
- Thank you, big sky.
(Ominous music)
- Mark johannsen, us consulate.
We spoke a little earlier.
- How do you do?
Oh, Chris.
This is my chief pilot, Chris manning.
- What's going on?
- Jimbo's in the (Mumbles)
With a piece of that crashed satellite.
Apparently, it's dangerous.
- Well, it might not be.
Let me just talk to your boys
and we'll see what we got here.
What's the call sign?
- Tango-whiskey-Sierra.
- What's the pilot's name?
- Jimbo, James.
- What's he like?
Is he reliable or is
he likely to panic?
- Well, he's not reliable.
- He's unlikely to panic.
- Okay, tango-whiskey-Sierra,
this is big sky base.
Mark johannsen from the us consulate.
Do you read me there, jimbo?
- This is tango-whiskey-Sierra,
big sky.
What the hell's going on?
- That's what I wanna find out.
Now, I need you to describe to me
exactly what it is you
have onboard there.
- Well, it's a black cylinder,
a bit bigger than a footy.
I couldn't tell you what it's
made of, some kind of metal.
It's got wires running down it
and sort of an electrical
thingie at one end.
- [Mark] Is this
cylinder leaking liquid?
Or is it in any way cracked?
- It looks all right.
- It doesn't appear to be cracked.
- Good.
- Yeah, that's gotta be bad.
- Actually, there's a
crack running down it
and there's a sort of
liquid glooping out.
- How much has leaked out?
- [Jimbo] Oh, I don't know,
about a schooner's worth.
- What's a schooner?
- 15 ounces.
- Have you had any
contact with the liquid?
- No.
Why?
What is it?
- Don't worry, just don't touch it.
But right now, I need you to
sit tight just for a minute.
What's the plane's eta here?
- 15 minutes.
- Well, that's all the time we got.
I need them on the
ground for sure by then.
- There's no guarantee
with the traffic,
not unless we arrange a
priority landing clearance.
- Good, let's do it.
- Well, they're not gonna retrack jimbo
unless there's a real big reason.
- [Mark] Like what?
- Like a crisis on the aircraft,
life and death situation.
- Well, you tell 'em we got both.
- How about you tell me first?
- I will, just get me
that priority landing.
You can tell them whatever you want,
but we need them on the ground asap.
I appreciate it.
Is this an outside line?
- Ah, yes, it is.
- Yeah, it's me.
I'm at the big sky base.
It looks like their guy
has got the power mod.
Now, I need you to call the nec
and tell them it's a code g.
Yeah, put me on with Brock.
(Alarm blares) (Suspenseful music)
- We got a priority landing
clearance on runway 16 left.
- Good.
- Tango-whiskey-Sierra,
this is big sky.
You will proceed to
(Mumbles) Where you have
a priority landing clearance
on runway 16 left.
- Priority?
Chris, what the hell is going on?
- I'll let you know, jimbo.
Big sky, out.
Okay, Mr. johannsen.
It's your turn.
- Let's just say I'd rather
be here than in that plane.
- Well, let's hear it.
- Big sky, this is
tango-whiskey-Sierra.
Why do we have priority?
If there's a problem, we
can Chuck this thing out.
- What?
No way!
- Listen, you don't have priority
unless there's a big problem.
You want that thing to go off?
- What do you eman go off?
What is it?
- Chris, can we have the exact
reason for the priority.
I mean, we gotta know.
- Tango-whiskey-Sierra,
there is no emergency.
Repeat, no emergency.
It's just precaution.
The cylinder you have onboard there
contains a delicate
scientific experiment,
and the loss of liquid
from the cylinder
has put it in jeopardy.
So we wanna get it down here
just as quickly as possible.
- Yes!
- Thank you, big sky.
Sydney tower, this is
tango-whiskey-Sierra.
Maintaining 1,500 feet
with runway in sight.
- [Man on radio] Tango-whiskey-Sierra,
cleared for visual approach.
All stations in Sydney,
expect a delay due to emergency
with arriving aircraft.
Romeo-hotel-Sierra, maintain 3,000.
(Siren blares)
- It's leaking.
- Leaking?
How much?
- 15, 20 ounces.
- Damn.
- [Mark] So what are we looking at?
- 20 ounces an hour,
12, 15 minutes maybe.
- Good.
The plane's eta is six minutes.
They should be well and
truly on the ground.
We're home free.
- What's wrong?
- You don't wanna know.
Blue sky base, this is
tango-whiskey-Sierra.
Chris, I've got a slight problem.
The front landing gear
won't lock into place.
- Ah, I knew it.
You wrecked it when we took off.
Hey, I know, whack that light.
That'll fix it.
- Shut up.
Chris, yeah, confirming that.
The front landing gear
will not lock into place.
- Tango-whiskey-Sierra,
this is big sky.
Stand by.
Your move.
- Tell him to abort the landing.
- You're kidding.
- You said you wanted him
down as soon as possible.
- Tell him.
- Well, I'm not gonna tell him
unless I got a good reason.
- You wanna save your pilot?
I'm not playing games here.
- Jimbo, this is Chris.
Abort and go around.
- Chris, you're kidding.
I can land this thing with
or without the landing gear.
You know that.
- Tango-whiskey-Sierra,
this is big sky.
I repeat, go around for now.
I'll get back to you.
- Chris, what the hell is going on?
I'm gonna have to land
this thing soon anyway.
It's gonna be dry as a Martini.
- [Chris] You heard him.
- No, it's too risky.
- Too risky?
Their lives are more important
than your cylinder.
- No, they're not.
Now, under no circumstances
can he land that aircraft.
- This doesn't make sense.
You said it wasn't an emergency.
Now, you can't have it both ways.
- Lauren Allen?
- Yeah.
Len crichton, foreign affairs.
- [Lauren] How do you do?
- Hey.
- [Lauren] This is...
- Yeah, yeah, we're already
acquainted, thanks.
We liaise on matters
of mutual interest,
or supposed to (Mumbles).
Sometimes the wires get a bit crossed.
- Well, the wires have got
a little crossed now.
Do you have any authority in this?
- Yes, I do.
- Then I would like some information
about what's happening.
We've got a pilot who's
apparently in danger,
and all we're getting is the runaround
in an American accent.
Now, either someone comes clean
or I start making phone calls.
- The navstar 3 was a
nuclear-powered satellite.
Its power mod cylinder contains
two rods of thorium 90,
a highly radioactive metal.
If your plane crashes,
the rods might shatter,
sending radioactive
shrapnel everywhere.
Suburbs for miles around
would have to be evacuated.
- You're saying a nuclear explosion.
- No, no, no, a conventional
explosion but a big one.
It's the spreading of radioactive
debris that's the problem.
- You see, our American cousins
don't wanna be responsible
for contaminating half the city.
- Jimbo, this is Chris.
That thing you got
onboard is radioactive.
- Radioactive?
I changed my mind, mate.
You can have the 100%.
- What do you expect me to do,
fly around till I glow in the dark?
Chris, I can still land this thing.
- No, he must abort the landing.
- Can I talk to him?
Listen, mate.
This is len crichton, foreign affairs.
Now, you must do as you're told.
If you don't do as directed,
you're in serious breach
of aviation regulations.
- If you wanna arrest
me, you know what,
as soon as I'm safely on the ground.
- If he tries to land that
thing, I promise you,
he will lose his license and
this company's in trouble.
I'm dead serious.
- [Jimbo] Big sky, this
is tango-whiskey-Sierra.
I'm on my final landing approach.
I'm sorry, Chris.
I just thought I'd let you know.
- Good on you, mate.
- Jimbo, this is Chris.
If you land that aircraft
and anything goes wrong,
we could have radioactivity
spread all through the suburbs.
- You can't tell me to do this, Chris.
I can land it.
You know that.
- I'm not telling you anything, jimbo.
I'm asking you.
There's a big difference.
- Hey, watch what you're doing!
- Okay, Chris, no landing.
You win.
What now?
- Tango-whiskey-Sierra,
this is big sky.
Stand by.
Okay, gentlemen.
The ball's in your court.
- Okay, we're gonna need the
optimum coordinates for ditch.
- Ditch?
You're not ditching my plane.
- Sorry.
- No, excuse me.
If you make the decision
to ditch that plane,
then you take the responsibility.
I see no reason why we should...
- Okay, okay.
It's all right.
- Right, the coordinates.
We can make it just
off the tasman shelf.
- [Lauren] So you're
gonna knowingly dump
radioactive material into the ocean?
- That's exactly what we
did with the Apollo 13
(mumbles) After the onboard explosion.
It had the same power
supply as the navstar.
Dropped it a couple of hundred miles
off the coast of New Zealand,
a long way from those astronauts.
- I never even heard that happened.
- Then we did a good job.
- What about jimbo and his mate?
You got an aircraft carrier for them?
- [Mark] That's where he's going.
(Ominous music)
- Hey, more of that
liquid's leaked out.
- You're right.
Chris, if I was to tell you
that another schooner's worth
of that liquid's leaked out,
what would those blokes say?
- 40 ounces, cool it.
- [Jimbo] Big sky, this
is tango-whiskey-Sierra.
Chris, come on, mate.
- Come on, what are we gonna tell him?
- Educated guess, we've got
five minutes, maybe less
before that core goes hot.
- And we can presume what hot means.
- Without a coolant, (Mumbles)
Overheat to critical
and that plane goes sky high.
Get him to those coordinates
as fast as possible.
- These men are expendable, am I right?
I thought as much.
Jimbo, this is Chris.
Track directly east, southeast
then ditch the place off the coast.
That thing's gonna blow
up in five minutes.
- Explode?
Why didn't you tell us before?
- I think I'm gonna spew.
- All right, that's
it, it's outta here.
We're gonna Chuck it out.
Get the emergency door.
- No, don't touch it or the liquid.
That'll increase your chances
of being contaminated a hundredfold.
- Oh, man.
- Okay, jimbo, we're on our own here.
This is what we're gonna do.
- Jimbo's a dead man.
That (Mumbles) Thing is gonna
go critical in four minutes.
- What do you mean go critical?
- Or something.
- [Chris] Final set of
coordinates, 79053.
- I'll set the coordinates.
The plane is on auto pilot.
What now?
- Now you're gonna parachute out.
- What?
No way!
- Lexie says there should
be four parachutes
in the luggage compartment
at the back of the plane.
- Stand by.
Have a look in the compartment
for some parachutes.
If you don't find any, don't tell me.
- God, if you ever get me out of this,
I promise I'll be a better bloke.
I'll spend more time
with Anna and Barry.
- I thought you said you lost
Anna and Barry in the flood.
- I'm gonna stop lying all the time.
(Suspenseful music) (Engine beeps)
- Is it supposed to do that?
- There's no parachutes!
- Keep looking.
- We're not really gonna jump, are we?
- Well, you got a better idea?
- [Man] I've never done it before!
- Just shut up and keep looking!
- Jimbo, you've got two minutes
to ditch that aircraft.
- Oh, no.
- I gotta tell you something.
- Strap one of those on.
- [Man] It's important!
- Come on, come on.
No!
- What are you doing?
- I'm trying to set the autopilot
so we can jump out of this plane
and it won't follow us down.
- [Man] What?
- Thank you.
- [Chris] Get out of there!
I repeat, get out of there, jimbo!
- I can't do it.
- [Jimbo] You have to.
The plane's about to blow up.
- But I'm scared of heights.
- It's not that high.
- That's what I was trying
to tell you before.
- Well, I'm scared of explosions,
so you better get over it.
- [Chris] Jimbo, you've
got less than a minute.
- Okay, okay.
- Oh, this has been a shocker of a day!
Okay, two words, comfort and speed.
It'll be a lot more comfortable
if we're down on the ground
when this thing blows up.
And the speediest way to
get there is to jump.
- What do I do?
- Don't worry!
Trust me!
(Suspenseful music)
(Explosion blasts)
(Alarm blares)
- Who are you guys?
- Nec.
- What's that?
- The nuclear energy corporation.
- Well, where are you taking us?
- Speak with the director later.
(Suspenseful music)
- [Nec officer] They're
still reading high.
We gotta go again.
- [Lauren] I've been thinking.
You can have your advance, $4,500.
- Thanks.
- [Lauren] But it's the last time.
- Okay.
Oh, you couldn't make 5,120 could you
so I can pay 'em all back?
I found out there's a few others.
- Okay, but that's it.
- Thanks.
- What's the prognosis?
When do you find out if you're...
- Contaminated?
- Hmm.
- Apparently not till next week.
- If there's anything I can
do, you just let me know.
I better go.
I've got some work to
do back at the base.
- 50/50?
- [Jimbo] What about 100-nothing?
