John
John
Are you there?
John
John
Please talk to me, Sis.
John
John
I can explain, but first we need to get you on the ground.
John
John
Trust me, you’ll understand everything in a few hours.
Chrissy
Chrissy
What explanation could you possibly have for spying on me in my bedroom?
Chrissy
Chrissy
I mean, REALLY?? You’re my brother for chrissake.
Chrissy
Chrissy
And this is what you do?
John
John
Whatever was on that video…
John
John
You should know it isn’t true.
Chrissy
Chrissy
Then explain it, John.
Chrissy
Chrissy
And don’t give me some line about imagining things.
John
John
Think about it…
John
John
You’re on a plane full of dead people.
John
John
You heard your dead mother’s voice from the lavatory.
John
John
You saw yourself on the news as a suspected bomber.
John
John
These things are…
Chrissy
Chrissy
Impossible. I know.
John
John
Then why would they seem so real to you?
Chrissy
Chrissy
I don’t know.
John
John
Maybe someone is playing the ultimate mind game on you.
Chrissy
Chrissy
But why me?
Chrissy
Chrissy
And for WHAT??
Chrissy
Chrissy
I could maybe understand someone doing this to a billionaire or the First Lady.
Chrissy
Chrissy
But I’m nobody.
John
John
Maybe you just don’t know WHO you really are yet.
John
John
But one thing’s for sure…
John
John
Anyone capable of killing everyone aboard a plane and leaving only one person alive can certainly alter a video.
John
John
So how about trusting me a little?
Chrissy
Chrissy
Okay.
Chrissy
Chrissy
But there’s something I need to do first.
John
John
What is it?
John
John
Sis?
John
John
I think we should discuss everything you plan on doing first.
John
John
Sis??
John
John
Sis???
Chrissy
Chrissy
I’m here.
Chrissy
Chrissy
I just…
John
John
What did you do?
Chrissy
Chrissy
I forced open the lavatory door…
Chrissy
Chrissy
The one where I heard my mother’s voice.
John
John
And? What happened?
Chrissy
Chrissy
It was empty.
Chrissy
Chrissy
There was a speaker hooked up to an iPhone.
Chrissy
Chrissy
I don’t understand.
Chrissy
Chrissy
It’s like someone was pretending to be my mother.
Chrissy
Chrissy
Talking to me about the past.
Chrissy
Chrissy
About things nobody knows.
Chrissy
Chrissy
Nobody besides Father.
Chrissy
Chrissy
And you.
John
John
Okay let’s not worry about that right now.
John
John
We need to focus on getting you on the ground first.
John
John
Then we can figure everything else out.
John
John
Can you get to the cockpit?
Chrissy
Chrissy
I think so.
Chrissy
Chrissy
I’m on my way there now.
Chrissy
Chrissy
Oh God.
John
John
What is it?
John
John
Sis?
Chrissy
Chrissy
There’s a family in business class.
Chrissy
Chrissy
A mother and father and a little girl.
Chrissy
Chrissy
She’s only about six.
Chrissy
Chrissy
And her eyes…
Chrissy
Chrissy
I could swear I saw them move.
Chrissy
Chrissy
But now she’s just staring at me.
Chrissy
Chrissy
Unblinking.
Chrissy
Chrissy
Pale.
Chrissy
Chrissy
Dead.
John
John
Try not to look.
John
John
Stay focused on getting to the cockpit.
Chrissy
Chrissy
I’m trying.
Chrissy
Chrissy
It’s just a few feet away.
Chrissy
Chrissy
Wait…
Chrissy
Chrissy
I hear something.
Chrissy
Chrissy
Someone is SINGING.
John
John
Where’s it coming from?
Chrissy
Chrissy
It’s coming…
Chrissy
Chrissy
It’s coming from inside the cockpit.
Chrissy
Chrissy
My God.
Chrissy
Chrissy
It’s a little girl.
John
John
What??
Chrissy
Chrissy
A little girl is singing in the cockpit.
Chrissy
Chrissy
“Here we go round the mulberry bush”…
Chrissy
Chrissy
Over and over and over.
John
John
Have you tried talking to her?
Chrissy
Chrissy
I knocked on the door.
Chrissy
Chrissy
And I just banged.
Chrissy
Chrissy
But she just keeps singing.
John
John
Try the door.
Chrissy
Chrissy
I already did.
Chrissy
Chrissy
It’s locked.
Chrissy
Chrissy
Hold on…
Chrissy
Chrissy
Someone just slipped something under the door.
John
John
Under the cockpit door?
Chrissy
Chrissy
Yes.
John
John
What is it?
John
John
Sis?
John
John
Sis??
Chrissy
Chrissy
I don’t think I can do this anymore.
John
John
What do you mean?
Chrissy
Chrissy
I can’t take another second of this.
John
John
What happened?
John
John
What did you find?
Chrissy
Chrissy
The girl…
Chrissy
Chrissy
She told me she had something for me.
Chrissy
Chrissy
She told me to pick up the paper on the floor.
John
John
What was it??
Chrissy
Chrissy
A picture.
Chrissy
Chrissy
A picture of my mother.
Chrissy
Chrissy
Her autopsy.
Chrissy
Chrissy
She was…
Chrissy
Chrissy
She was naked and all cut open.
John
John
My God.
Chrissy
Chrissy
And now the little girl is singing again.
Chrissy
Chrissy
“Here we go round the mulberry bush.”
Chrissy
Chrissy
And she’s giggling at the end of every verse.
John
John
Okay, try to block out her voice.
John
John
I know it’s difficult, but you can’t give up.
John
John
There should be a phone near the door.
John
John
The flight attendants use it to talk to the captain.
John
John
Pick it up and ask if anyone can hear you.
John
John
Sis?
John
John
Are you there?
5 minutes later
Chrissy
Chrissy
I’m here, John.
Chrissy
Chrissy
I ran up the stairs leading to first class.
Chrissy
Chrissy
The girl…
Chrissy
Chrissy
She said she had something else for me.
John
John
Something ELSE??
Chrissy
Chrissy
Fire ants.
Chrissy
Chrissy
Hundreds crawled out from under the door.
Chrissy
Chrissy
Now I’m standing by the curtains to the first-class cabin.
Chrissy
Chrissy
But I’m afraid to pull them back.
Chrissy
Chrissy
I hear something.
John
John
From behind the curtains?
Chrissy
Chrissy
Yes.
Chrissy
Chrissy
People talking.
Chrissy
Chrissy
I’m going to open them.
John
John
Don’t.
Chrissy ignores John and opens the curtains.
10 minutes later
John
John
Chrissy?
John
John
Sis?
John
John
Sis?? Are you there?
John
John
Please tell me you’re okay.
Chrissy
Chrissy
I’m here.
John
John
Where are you?
John
John
What happened?
Chrissy
Chrissy
I’m not really sure.
Chrissy
Chrissy
The fire ants…
Chrissy
Chrissy
They were coming up the stairs.
Chrissy
Chrissy
Except there were more.
Chrissy
Chrissy
Hundreds.
Chrissy
Chrissy
And the little girl was singing the entire time…
Chrissy
Chrissy
“Here we go round the mulberry bush.”
Chrissy
Chrissy
And then Mom…
John
John
You heard your mother again?
Chrissy
Chrissy
Through the intercom.
Chrissy
Chrissy
She kept telling me that I killed him.
Chrissy
Chrissy
"You killed your father. You killed your father."
Chrissy
Chrissy
And then I started coughing.
Chrissy
Chrissy
The fire ants were almost at my feet and I was almost choking.
Chrissy
Chrissy
And I was so hot.
Chrissy
Chrissy
Like I had a fever.
John
John
Are you okay now??
Chrissy
Chrissy
I blacked out.
Chrissy
Chrissy
And when I woke up…
Chrissy
Chrissy
I was sitting up here in first class.
Chrissy
Chrissy
A lady is talking to me now.
John
John
Another strange voice?
Chrissy
Chrissy
A flight attendant.
John
John
I don’t understand.
John
John
Sis?
Chrissy
Chrissy
Everything is normal up here.
Chrissy
Chrissy
I just told her what’s happening downstairs.
Chrissy
Chrissy
But she said she came from downstairs a few minutes ago…
Chrissy
Chrissy
And everything’s normal in the plane.
Chrissy
Chrissy
She said the plane has started its descent into Paris…
Chrissy
Chrissy
And I need to return to my seat or she’ll have to report an unruly passenger.
Chrissy
Chrissy
Oh God, John.
Chrissy
Chrissy
What’s going on??
Chrissy
Chrissy
What should I do?
John
John
You should pray.
John
John
It’s about to happen, sis.
Chrissy
Chrissy
What are you talking about?
John
John
God’s plan.
John
John
You can put your phone away now.
John
John
You’re not going to need it anymore.
Chrissy
Chrissy
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT??
Chrissy
Chrissy
I don’t understand.
Chrissy
Chrissy
Why won’t I need my phone??
John
John
Look over your shoulder and everything will be clear.
Chrissy
Chrissy
What?
Chrissy
Chrissy
I really don’t understand.
John
John
Everything’s going to be OK.
John
John
Just look over your shoulder.
Chrissy
Chrissy
Why??
Chrissy
Chrissy
WHY, John??
John
John
Because I’m sitting right behind you.
John
John
