(plane roaring)

- Which terminal, miss?
- BGA International.

Arrivals.
- Thought you'd want departures.

- No, I'm going to meet someone.

Just pull over right here.

OK, yeah, yeah, this is good!

(cell phone ringing)
- Maddy.

- [Listen, Ali,
I'm gonna be late.]

They put me
on another flight.

- Ali: [What's wrong
with the first one?]
- I missed it.

[New York traffic.]
(dance music playing)

- Just text me a new flight
number and I'll pick you up.

- No. You've been up all night,
I can cab it.



- Maddy, name a time when
I haven't been there for you.

- Thanks.
- Straight up.

- So, how was the interview?

- [Honestly, couldn't
have gone better.]

Columbia pretty much made me
an offer right there.

- [Joking? Yes, baby!
That's awesome!]

Well done. I'm happy for you.
- [Hey, hold on.]

- Allow me.

- Thank you.
- What's your name?

- Stella.
- Well, Stella,

we're good to go.

- Walk-around looks good.

- Let's go ahead
with the pre-flight.

- Did you talk to my dad?

- Uh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I introduced myself.

[He knew who I was obviously.]
- And...?

- Yeah, he's accepted it.
He'll ready, he'll be ready.

- Really? Now, that doesn't
sound like him.

- Look, no father, no dad wants
to mess up his daughter's
big day.

- I know, but it's usually not
that easy with him.

- I took care of it, Maddy.
We're chill, it's all good.

1-3-2 on board.

- 1-0-6 required.
1-3-2 on board, check.

Why don't, uh... why don't you
handle the next sector.

Sit down.

It's gonna be fine.
Back to your seat, ma'am.

Would you... Can you
go back to your seat?

- What's the problem?
- 716 isn't answering

on primary or secondary. There's
nothing on SELCAL either.

A 9-5-0 has disappeared
over the Atlantic.

- Departing from Toronto?

- No, JFK.
- Sorry, sir.

It's A.J. He's flying
home from Toronto.

How long since last contact?
- Almost two hours.

- I'm sorry, Howard.

I'm not the in-charge--
- No. I need you.

- It hasn't even been a year
since the accident.

- You're the only one who can
find this plane. Come on.

♪♪♪

Come on, soldier.

- (reporter):
The BBC has confirmed

that a British Global aircraft
traveling from New York City

to London has vanished
over the North Atlantic.

It's believed
that this is BGA Flight

716, though this has not yet
been verified.

No other details
have yet been released.

- I want another one
in ten minutes.

- Yes, sir.
(cell phone buzzing)

- Derek Strong.

It's, uh...
My name's Ali Basra.

- Yes, I know who you are.

Maddy was supposed to return

-Well, you know
most of the team,

but there's a new man
for Operations.

Dominic Hayes.
- Never heard of him.

- He was a copper.
- How is that related
to Operations?

- Well, the Ministry now insists
that we coordinate

with law enforcement.
- Aaah... I saw that coming.

- Well, that's the way
things are, I'm afraid.

All right, everyone...
- Kendra! Hey.

Welcome back.
- This is Kendra Malley.

You all know her
for her stellar work

on the Aeroslav crash. Theo,

would you bring her up to speed?
- Yes, sir.

- Thank you.
- Kendra, Nadia Torres,

marine meteorology. She's
on secondment from Lisbon.

This is Dominic Hayes,
he's on Operations.

And you know Levi.
- Kendra.

- Hey.
- So, this is
what we know so far. Levi?

- These are the coordinates
of BGA Flight 716

when it last communicated
with the ground

at 7:03 Greenwich Mean Time
this morning.

It hasn't been heard from since.
- Shanwick confirms

Primo 214 was 50 miles behind.
They saw the aircraft veer

southward on radar just before
the transponder went out.

♪♪♪

(beeping)
(fast typing on keyboard)

(ping)

- There goes the transponder.
- There's more

than one way to track
an aircraft. What about ACARS?

- (Nadia): Proprietary. Shanwick
wouldn't have that data.

- Uh, I've got a contact at BGA
ground systems. I'll text him.

- Is it strange that there
was no emergency squawk,
no Mayday of any kind?

- It could've been a hijacking.
- That's what I'm thinking.

I'm going to reach out
to Security Services to see--

- Well, we don't know
it's a hijacking.

It's just as likely
that an electrical fire

could have disabled
the transponder.

- Or it could have
been an explosive.
- Well, if it was a bomb,

then satellites would have
detected a heat signature.

- Not necessarily.
- And even if it was

a hijacking, wouldn't the pilot
have entered the hijack code?

- Not if the cockpit was overrun
before the pilots could react.

The hijackers could
still be flying.

- And secondary radar
would have picked up a signal.

♪♪♪
- My point is,

we can't rule out
any possibility at this time.

For all we know,

that aircraft could still be
heading to London.

- Uh, guys,
this is live

from Heathrow.
-With the aircraft
still missing,

fears are growing that BGA
Flight 716 could be the worst

aviation disaster in UK history

We're waiting for a reaction
from 10, Downing Street.

British Global Air has yet
to release the official

manifest of the aircraft's
passengers, but desperate...

- This one is going
to tear a lot of lives apart.

-...ever since
the first rumours arose

of Flight 716's disappearance.

- Excuse me.
-...grief counsellors

are on hand to deal
with the daunting task.

- The Prime Minister
is looking for an update.

Kendra, are you all right?

♪♪♪
- Howard, being here, it just...

just brings it all back

for me.
- Yes,

no one knows better than you

how everything can change
in a moment.

- How many, um...
How many souls on board?

- 256.

They could still be alive.

- You trust me to do this?
- Silly question. Absolutely.

- When did you become
such a mug?

- When did you start
playing hard to get?

(both chuckling)

If there are survivors
on the open water,

six hours is all they will have.

- Let's find this plane.

my daughter was on the plane.

Madelyn Strong.
- I'm sorry, sir.
I can't help you from here.

- It's got to be on your screen.
- Sorry, sir. I don't have

access to the manifest.
It's been locked out.

- What are you talking about?!
It's got to be in your system!

Why aren't you telling me?
What's wrong with you?

Hey, I'm talking to you!

- Know someone on Flight 716?
- Well, I don't know.

This woman won't tell me
a damn thing. Madelyn Strong.

She's my daughter.

- Please follow me, Mr. Strong.
- Wait. Wait.

Have you got the
passenger list or not?
- Nothing official.

When the manifest
is confirmed,

then the families will be
informed. I promise.

Please, come with me.

(dramatic music)

(indistinct chattering)

- Search and rescue are
on their way to Flight 716's

last known location. But, given
what we know from TCAS,

that is not
where the aircraft went down.

OK, um, our job

is to find
its true coordinates, so, Theo,

I want you and your team on
vector analysis. Nadia, take
a look at satellite imagery.

You know, we might get lucky.
All right, and another thing:

no one talks to the press.

Period. Confusion,
message speculation:

all these things
only fuel conspiracy theory,

and I will not put up with it
on my watch. Any questions?

- I've got to take this.
(phone ringing)

- OK, that's it.

- No hits on the watch list
doesn't rule out terrorism;

it just means
they're not on the list.

No, I agree.

Pilot's state of mind
is top priority.

Can you get me
all the CCTV footage from JFK?

Thanks, mate.

- (Levi): Well, Al-Maharib is
claiming responsibility.

- Who or what is Al-Maharib?
- An ISIS offshoot trying

to make a name for themselves.
They're saying Flight 716

is just the beginning.
- Yeah, well,

somebody somewhere always takes
responsibility after a disaster.

♪♪♪

- My airline contact
says ACARS cut out

three minutes
after the transponder.

- Which means...?
- Well, anyone can turn off

the transponder, but switching
off the ACARS system,

that takes sophistication.
- So you're saying...?

- Somebody on board wanted
the aircraft to disappear.

(sighing)

- OK.

♪♪♪

(knocking)
- Alexis, do you still have

access to the Aviation
Authority's crew database?

I'm trying to track down
the pilot's next of kin.

- Oh, sorry, Dom. Kendra shifted
me to search and rescue

for this one.
Levi's your best bet.

- (Dominic): Four hours, eh?

- Only if the passengers
evacuated safely.

Any longer and they all die
of hypothermia.

- How many vessels
in the search area?

- Twenty right now.

Ours, the Yanks, Iceland,
Canada, merchant vessels too,

but so far nothing.
- Why?

- The search area is half
the size of the North Atlantic.

We need to narrow it if we're
going to make that clock.

- Right. Thanks, Alexis.

- Hey, Dom?
- Yeah?

- You all right?
- Why wouldn't I be?

- Come on, Dom. This was
supposed to be your case.

I'd be furious
if that happened to me.

- Well, it's not my call.
- Well, if it's any consolation,

Kendra's one of the best
investigators TSIB's ever had.

- Before the accident, you mean?
- Right.

I forgot you were still
at Scotland Yard when
that happened.

Look, when her husband died,
she was devastated,

and, honestly, I didn't think
she'd come back to work here.

- Well, here she is.

- (Kendra): That's
the only satellite image?

- Well, there is more,
but they're all like this.

No aircraft debris.
- Are these

coordinates from the transponder
or the land earth station?

- They're from the transponder.
- Land earth station...

the BGA fleet had Satcom?
- Yeah. They began

installing them two months ago.
- (Kendra) Which network?
Vista or Equinox?

- Equinox, I think.
But what does it matter?

ACARS was deactivated.
- Yeah, maybe.

- What are you thinking?

- Hang on.

Bob?
- [Kenny!]

- Hi. How's it going?
- [Good to see you.]

[Is the rumour true?
You're back at the Bureau?]

- Yeah, I am.
Flight 716,

it's on the Equinox network.

- [Wait, what?]
- Let's say

the ACARS system was manually
deactivated mid-flight.

I mean, the system, it would
still send out auto-handshake
pings, right?

- [Yeah. The only way to disable
that would be to shut down
electrical totally.]

[Hold on, are you saying the
aircraft is still in the air?]

- Well, I was hoping
you could tell me.

- [Right. OK, I understand.
Time sensitive. Uh...]

[here's the problem:
the satellite receives]

[thousands of pings
every minute.]

[If the ACARS on the aircraft
was switched off,

[I have no way to track
the correct ping.]

- Bollocks. Well, can't you...

well, can't you extrapolate from
the aircraft's previous pings?

- [In theory maybe,
but it would take time.]

- (Kendra): How much time?
- Two days?

- Look, Bob, if there are
any survivors on open waters,

four hours is the most
they have.

- [Then I best get on it. Um,
I'll need data on the ACARS.]

- Yeah, look, this is Theo, he's
our systems specialist.
He'll get you

whatever you need. Owe you one.
- Kendra.

- Thanks, Bob.
- Bob: [Hi, Theo.]

(phone ringing)
- Hi, Bob.

- Surveillance videos
from JFK.

- How did we get them?
- Dominic.

He's reviewing them right now.
- Yeah, I bet he is. Come.

Wait.

His phone records aren't
showing any calls made

at 10:17 p.m. local time.

So, who is he talking to?
Take it back.

Wait. Wait, wait.

Bloody hell!

- Uh, what have you got?

- Take a look at this.

That's Captain Donovan
pre-boarding.

His phone records show that
he's using a GX7 Smartphone,

but that phone
has a keyboard on it.

- So why has our pilot
got a second phone?

- And who is he talking to
right before takeoff?

- (Kendra): We'll need a warrant
to find out who he's calling.

- No need.

It's covered
under the Terrorism Act.

- Kendra, this is Janet Freeh.
- Security Service.

- MI5?
- Mhm.

You must be Kendra Malley.

I hear you're the first woman to
be given investigator-in-charge

role here. Pleasure to be
working alongside you.

- Nice to meet you.

Let me know
when you've ID'ed the caller.

- Do you mind playing that back?

- You brought a spy
onto this investigation

without telling me?
- She's not a spy.

She's counter-intelligence.

- Look, until
we have persuasive

evidence of terrorism,
this case falls

under my jurisdiction,
not Security Service.

- Your problem is
with Howard.

He brought in
the "spy",

not me.

everyone's attention,
please. Uh, I am

Ethan Moreau,
the CEO of British Global Air.

I'd first like you to know
that we are doing

everything in our power
to assist

with the search effort.
In the meantime, you have
my personal assurance

that BGA is committed
to doing the right thing

for all of you.
You will all be provided

with hotel accommodation
and counselling services--

- (woman): Why are you hiding
the passenger list from us?!

- Ma'am, we're not hiding
anything, but mix-ups do happen

in these fluid situations,

and we have to be absolutely
certain of the passenger list

before we release any
information. Any other
questions? Anyone else?

- Hotel room?! I don't want
a hotel room, I want
my daughter back!

- We don't want to give
the wrong information to anyone.

- This is ridiculous! You have
to know something by now.

(crowd clamouring)
(inaudible)

- We're doing everything
that we possibly can.

- (woman): We just need

information. Please.

- Yes, yes, yes. I'll...

I'll handle it.

The PMO is worried.
Now, we have poured

billions
into Windsor Aeronautics,

so that the UK can
finally have an answer

to Airbus.
- And BGA is the
flagship airline.

What? I may have
been on leave,

but I still did
read the news.

- Well, then you know we live
in turbulent times.

- Meaning?
- Meaning

that the Saudis and the Chinese

have placed orders
for almost a hundred aircraft.

If these orders
are cancelled,

it's tits up
for British aerospace.

where the evidence takes me.

I'll catch up.

lives in North London.
We're just heading there now.

ACARS data won't be in

for a while so let's do
some team building, shall we?

- What do you mean, "behaving
strangely?" What are you saying?

- Mrs. Donovan,
at this early stage,

we don't know what happened.
But with your help,

we can try and rule
certain things out.

Did he seem agitated
or upset in any way?

- No.
- Did he have health concerns?

Was he taking any medication?
- No.

He was completely fine.
We played tennis

together all the time.
- Mrs. Donovan,

are you aware that your husband
had two mobile phones?

One for day-to-day use,
and another

that he called someone from
New York before he took off.

Do you have any idea
who that might have been?

- I'm sorry, Mrs. Donovan.

What we need to know is

did you see any changes
in your husband recently?

Attitude? Behaviour?

- Yeah.
- Mommy?

Mommy, what's wrong?
- Yeah, uh...

Your mommy's just received
some hard news.

- Is Daddy coming home?

Is he still angry?

- That's great work, Theo.

Look, send it through and I'll
be back as soon as I can.

The ACARS analysis just came in.

It looks like our plane was
in the air for 18 minutes

after the transponder went off.
- Can that help us find it?

- I hope so.
Where's Levi?

- He's gonna stay on for a bit,
see what else he can learn.

-Yeah. He's a diligent
tin kicker that one.

- That's funny because I heard
your nickname around the TSIB

was "The Shit-Kicker." Not
really living up to the hype.

- Tell me you found more
from the Sat data than I did.

Do we know where
the aircraft is yet?

- No. The auto-handshakes
don't contain any coordinates.

It's like trying to find
a mobile phone knowing only

that it pinged a certain
cell tower at certain times.

Based on the frequency
of the pings and the maximum

plausible speed
of the aircraft,

it could be anywhere
inside this area.

(sighing)
- May I?

- Please.
- OK, well...

(beeping)
It didn't cross this line

because ground radar
would have picked it up.

And our carrier group

was positioned here
at the time of disappearance,

and they didn't pick up anything
on the radar, so...
- That still leaves

thousands of square miles
to cover, it's impossible.

- Yeah, but if we don't
find those black boxes,

then we'll never know
what happened.

(cell phone ringing)

(beeping)

(beeping)

Theo, what's the interval
between the pings?

- It's... every three minutes.
- No.

Three minutes is frequency
at which ACARS emits the pings;

it's not the frequency at which
the satellite receives it.

- The Doppler effect.

Great.
- What's... what's happening?

- The satellite isn't
receiving the pings

exactly three minutes apart
because the satellite

and the aircraft are moving
away from each other.

I can use the difference
between the observed frequency

and the expected frequency
to calculate the aircraft's

speed and heading.

My mom

just texted, she says
she's going to be home late,

I think I want

I mean it, sleep.
- All right.

- Hey, your stepmom knows
I'm coming, right?

- Yeah.
- She better.

- All right, I need
every bit of information

you guys have collected, pronto.
- Alexis,

we've got the new coordinates
from the aircraft's last known

location. Kendra found them.
- Oh!

Brilliant! This'll make
the search area much smaller.

- This ship right here.

- "The HMS Monarch."
Yeah, that's the closest.

(typing on keyboard)

- (Theo): They've got an hour.

That's a storm front, isn't it?

- Yeah.
- That's gonna
affect the search effort.

- Let's just pray
that it doesn't move that fast.

- Mr. Strong?
- Yes?

- The official manifest
has been released.

If you'll please
come with me.

- I'm Ali Basra,
I'm Madelyn's fiancé.

- Please...

Mr. Strong, Mr. Basra,

I want to sincerely apologize
for the uncertainty we've
put you through.

Unfortunately,
it's been confirmed

that Madelyn Strong
was aboard Flight 716.

(chuckling)

I'm very sorry.

-The disappearance
of BGA Flight 716

comes at a crucial moment

for British Aviation--
-BGA and Windsor Aeronautics

recently announced
the sale of almost a hundred

950 aircraft
to Saudi Arabia and China.
-It has been 10 hours

since last contact
with BGA Flight 716,

and hope is fading
to find survivors.

-A mid-Atlantic storm front
is moving into the area

and hampering
search and rescue efforts.

(beeping)

- Yes. Exactly.

- Hey.
- The storm's getting worse.

- Oh, God.
- And it's headed
right towards them.

- The search vessels aren't
going to be able to get

to those new coordinates
before dawn.

- Exactly.

(Theo sighing)

- Kendra's not gonna want
to admit that this is over.

- I just told, we're moving out
of search and rescue

and into investigation
and recovery.

(beep)
-They haven't found

any survivors,
have they?

So, we'll have to focus

on the black boxes.

What is your take
on those coordinates?

- Well, Theo tested
the methodology

on two other BGA flights,
and he was able to

predict the path for both, so--
- That's good.

That's great. Any other updates?

- Janet came through
with a Dublin address.

- Oh, we need all the help
we can get.

But what you said -
follow the evidence -

you were right.
And if that results

in the Chinese cancelling
their order, so be it, fine.

- I appreciate it, Howard,

but we both know
that's bollocks, don't we?

- Mm-hmm.

How's A.J. doing?

- Good days, bad days.

go home, soldier.

Get some sleep.

- I'm so sorry. If there's
anything else you need,

BGA will cover all costs.

because I got a gig

Maddy was alone on the plane.

I should have been
