00:27:53,881 --> 00:27:56,760
The 102 souls on board,
including the flight crew,
527
00:27:56,842 --> 00:27:58,890
96 of them survived the crash.
528
00:28:01,388 --> 00:28:03,390
Six people died.
529
00:28:03,724 --> 00:28:05,726
Two crew, four passengers.
530
00:28:07,394 --> 00:28:09,738
Who on the crew?
531
00:28:12,232 --> 00:28:15,907
Uh, listen, the protocol is...
532
00:28:16,153 --> 00:28:17,325
Who on the crew, Charlie?
533
00:28:17,404 --> 00:28:20,203
The protocol is
that the NTSB has to be the first
534
00:28:20,282 --> 00:28:21,750
to make contact with you. I can't...
535
00:28:22,576 --> 00:28:24,578
And that agent's here, so
536
00:28:25,579 --> 00:28:28,082
let me go get him. It's a bit of a show.
537
00:28:28,165 --> 00:28:30,259
So, just... There's half a dozen of them.
538
00:28:30,918 --> 00:28:32,090
All right?
539
00:28:33,670 --> 00:28:34,671
(DOOR OPENING)
540
00:28:35,255 --> 00:28:37,599
Hey, Craig, come on in.

Captain William Whitaker?
543
00:28:53,982 --> 00:28:56,656
Nod if you can hear me
and understand me.
544
00:28:57,152 --> 00:28:59,655
I'm Craig Matson from the NT... NTSB.
545
00:28:59,905 --> 00:29:02,658
And I am required
as the lead on the Go Team
546
00:29:02,741 --> 00:29:04,084
to make initial contact with you
547
00:29:04,326 --> 00:29:07,330
after a major incident
like the one you had today.
548
00:29:08,830 --> 00:29:11,504
You are in a hospital in South Atlanta.
549
00:29:13,335 --> 00:29:16,509
Are you aware that
the plane you were piloting went down?
550
00:29:19,841 --> 00:29:23,095
I have a doctor here who can explain
your medical situation.
551
00:29:24,179 --> 00:29:25,351
I'm Dr. Kenan.
552
00:29:25,681 --> 00:29:28,525
And the good news is
you're in good condition.
553
00:29:28,642 --> 00:29:29,763
You did suffer a concussion,
554
00:29:30,018 --> 00:29:32,862
you have numerous lacerations
around your left eye.
555
00:29:33,188 --> 00:29:34,360
We're going to
keep the patch on for a few days.
556
00:29:34,481 --> 00:29:35,949
Just as a precaution.
557
00:29:36,024 --> 00:29:37,867
Your eye seems to be okay.
558
00:29:38,527 --> 00:29:41,121
Now, the MRI's show
that you have some strained tendons
559
00:29:41,196 --> 00:29:42,869
in your left knee and ankle,
560
00:29:43,198 --> 00:29:45,200
and you have no broken bones.
561
00:29:45,492 --> 00:29:47,290
But you have some
deep bruising in your left thigh
562
00:29:47,369 --> 00:29:49,872
and some torn ligaments
in your left wrist.
563
00:29:50,163 --> 00:29:51,836
Nothing serious.
564
00:29:51,915 --> 00:29:53,963
So, as soon as we clear
your concussion
565
00:29:54,042 --> 00:29:55,715
and you feel well enough,
you can go home.
566
00:29:56,044 --> 00:29:59,844
That may take a day,
maybe three. Okay?
567
00:30:04,553 --> 00:30:07,352
I won't ask too much of you tonight,
568
00:30:07,431 --> 00:30:12,232
but as I said, the NTSB is
required to make initial contact.
569
00:30:13,729 --> 00:30:16,903
How much do you remember
about the flight?
570
00:30:19,067 --> 00:30:21,570
Um, I remember, uh...
571
00:30:23,405 --> 00:30:26,409
I remember everything up till the crash.
572
00:30:26,616 --> 00:30:27,833
Okay.
573
00:30:27,909 --> 00:30:29,911
Mr. Whitaker, that's fine.
574
00:30:30,579 --> 00:30:33,298
I am required
to inform you that this incident
575
00:30:33,415 --> 00:30:35,088
did result in the loss of life.
576
00:30:36,752 --> 00:30:38,595
The current information states that
577
00:30:38,712 --> 00:30:42,512
of the 102 souls on board, we lost six.
578
00:30:42,591 --> 00:30:44,935
Two crew members
and four passengers.
579
00:30:45,260 --> 00:30:47,354
Fifty-nine people
were treated and released,
580
00:30:47,429 --> 00:30:48,601
37 people remain...
581
00:30:48,764 --> 00:30:50,766
Who did we lose on the crew?
582
00:30:51,058 --> 00:30:52,776
The two flight attendants,
583
00:30:52,851 --> 00:30:56,321
Camelia Satou and Katerina Marquez.
584
00:30:58,607 --> 00:31:00,735
The rep from your pilots' union,
585
00:31:00,817 --> 00:31:03,115
Mr. Anderson, will be
our contact for you.
586
00:31:03,195 --> 00:31:06,199
It's important that
you follow your union's guidance
587
00:31:06,281 --> 00:31:08,033
on press and media.
588
00:31:08,617 --> 00:31:11,291
The pilots' union works
closely with the NTSB.
589
00:31:11,995 --> 00:31:14,293
So, I'm going to head out.
590
00:31:14,373 --> 00:31:15,716
I'll turn this off.
591
00:31:15,791 --> 00:31:17,964
- Good luck, Mr. Whitaker.
- Thank you.

I knew Trina Marquez. She was, um...
593
00:31:34,309 --> 00:31:35,982
We spent some time together.
594
00:31:36,311 --> 00:31:38,814
Yeah, apparently,
she wasn't strapped in.
595
00:31:39,815 --> 00:31:42,694
A survivor reported
she was assisting a kid.
596
00:31:43,318 --> 00:31:45,662
Margaret Thomason, how's she doing?
597
00:31:45,987 --> 00:31:48,240
Broken collarbone, just, I mean, cuts.
598
00:31:48,323 --> 00:31:50,417
I mean, she's banged up, but she's...
599
00:31:50,492 --> 00:31:52,335
She's here, too. She's fine.
600
00:31:52,994 --> 00:31:54,712
And Ken Evans, your copilot,
601
00:31:54,830 --> 00:31:58,050
he took a bad shot to the head.
602
00:31:58,500 --> 00:32:02,095
And they're keeping him in a coma
just to let the brain swelling go down,
603
00:32:02,170 --> 00:32:03,513
but we feel good about him.
604
00:32:04,131 --> 00:32:05,804
He's going to be okay.

and women of the flight crew.

to worry about that.

Or at least some
fucking Palladone, for Christ's sake.
699
00:36:55,130 --> 00:36:57,224
Is this amateur hour?
Get that doctor in here.
700
00:36:57,298 --> 00:36:58,419
You just saved 100 people...
701
00:36:58,425 --> 00:36:59,517
Harling!
702
00:37:00,176 --> 00:37:02,349
- You bring my smokes?
- Yes, I did.
703
00:37:02,470 --> 00:37:03,551
I got your fucking message,
704
00:37:03,555 --> 00:37:06,604
and, yes,
I got your fucking smokes right here.
705
00:37:06,683 --> 00:37:07,684
Here's a fresh carton.
706
00:37:08,309 --> 00:37:10,061
You smoke your nuts off, champion.
707
00:37:10,145 --> 00:37:12,773
Hell, if I was you, I'd fire up right
here in the goddamn room.
708
00:37:12,856 --> 00:37:14,858
Here. I got you a pint of vodka,
709
00:37:14,983 --> 00:37:16,405
I got you some Red Bulls.
You know what I'm saying?
710
00:37:16,484 --> 00:37:17,485
I know my customer.
711
00:37:17,610 --> 00:37:19,157
Take the vodka with you.
712
00:37:19,279 --> 00:37:20,622
What... Take the vodka? What are you...
713
00:37:20,697 --> 00:37:22,040
I'm not drinking any more.
Take it with you.
714
00:37:22,365 --> 00:37:23,457
I'll just tuck it...
715
00:37:23,533 --> 00:37:25,661
- Take the fucking vodka with you.
- Okay. All right.
716
00:37:25,744 --> 00:37:28,918
Listen, but you
got to come get me tomorrow. Okay?
717
00:37:29,873 --> 00:37:31,967
And... (GROANS)
718
00:37:32,041 --> 00:37:34,385
I want you to go by my condo,
719
00:37:35,211 --> 00:37:39,216
pick me up some clothes
and my phone charger.
720
00:37:39,382 --> 00:37:40,679
Look in my refrigerator
721
00:37:40,884 --> 00:37:43,228
and pick up a package
that says "veal" on it.
722
00:37:43,344 --> 00:37:44,891
- It's marked "veal."
- Veal.
723
00:37:45,013 --> 00:37:46,310
In the freezer. It's marked "veal."
724
00:37:46,389 --> 00:37:48,149
Done and done.
What time do you want me here?
725
00:37:48,183 --> 00:37:49,150
I'll call you.
726
00:37:49,225 --> 00:37:50,272
Okay. You give a mayday,
727
00:37:50,351 --> 00:37:52,228
you're out of here in seven minutes. Oh!
728
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:55,114
Oh, I almost forgot.
I got you some stroke mags.
729
00:37:55,231 --> 00:37:57,199
I've been in the hospital before,
I know what you need.
730
00:37:57,358 --> 00:38:00,032
I got Juggs,
Hot MILFs in Heat, AssMasters.
731
00:38:00,195 --> 00:38:02,072
You just stroke it all day, you're a hero.
732
00:38:02,405 --> 00:38:03,952
If I was you,
733
00:38:04,032 --> 00:38:06,455
I'd just lay here
pulling on that thing all daylong.
734
00:38:06,534 --> 00:38:09,629
You know what I'm saying?
There's a smile. Yes, sir.
735
00:38:19,088 --> 00:38:21,807
(THUNDER RUMBLING)
736
00:38:21,925 --> 00:38:24,895
(THUNDER CRASHING)
(EXCLAIMS FEARFULLY)
737
00:38:25,428 --> 00:38:27,146
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
738
00:38:33,102 --> 00:38:34,445
Damn it.
739
00:38:39,692 --> 00:38:41,615
(THUNDER CRASHING)
740
00:39:11,850 --> 00:39:14,023
Devious minds think alike.
741
00:39:16,104 --> 00:39:17,606
Don't go.
742
00:39:19,315 --> 00:39:20,988
I'll be quiet and just...
743
00:39:22,443 --> 00:39:23,786
It's nice to
744
00:39:24,362 --> 00:39:26,581
just sit and smoke with somebody.
745
00:39:32,662 --> 00:39:34,335
Were you on that plane?
746
00:39:35,498 --> 00:39:36,841
Yeah, I was.
747
00:39:37,250 --> 00:39:38,297
You?
748
00:39:39,627 --> 00:39:41,629
You must have been sitting at the back.
749
00:39:44,966 --> 00:39:47,139
Yeah, way in the back.
750
00:39:47,510 --> 00:39:49,512
MAN: (SINGING) Tobacco's
but an Indian weed
751
00:39:49,804 --> 00:39:52,102
Grows green in the morn
Cut down in the eve
752
00:39:52,181 --> 00:39:55,355
Shows our decay 'cause we are but clay
753
00:39:55,685 --> 00:39:58,814
I love the smell
of nicotine in the morning.
754
00:39:59,355 --> 00:40:00,481
(CLEARS THROAT)
755
00:40:00,690 --> 00:40:02,692
It smells like victory.
756
00:40:03,359 --> 00:40:04,702
Can I bum one?
757
00:40:08,781 --> 00:40:10,454
I should quit.
758
00:40:11,075 --> 00:40:13,248
My cancer might get cancer.
759
00:40:15,747 --> 00:40:17,090
Joke. Hmm? (CHUCKLES)
760
00:40:17,832 --> 00:40:19,505
Were you in the plane crash?
761
00:40:19,626 --> 00:40:20,798
NICOLE: He was.
762
00:40:22,879 --> 00:40:25,382
Holy shit, man! You're the fucking pilot!
763
00:40:26,090 --> 00:40:27,182
Ha!
764
00:40:27,258 --> 00:40:28,851
What happened up there?
765
00:40:30,386 --> 00:40:32,559
Okay. Yeah. I'd... Mmm.
766
00:40:32,889 --> 00:40:35,859
Tough deal, man, but you walked away.
767
00:40:36,434 --> 00:40:37,606
Or you limped away.
768
00:40:38,269 --> 00:40:40,943
Yeah, I'm lucky. Going home tomorrow.
769
00:40:41,522 --> 00:40:42,523
Home?
770
00:40:43,066 --> 00:40:44,613
Home for me is the basement.
771
00:40:44,692 --> 00:40:46,945
They keep cancer treatment
in the basement.
772
00:40:47,028 --> 00:40:48,996
What kind of cancer you got?
773
00:40:49,072 --> 00:40:52,167
Fibromyxoid sarcoma.
Soft tissue sarcoma.
774
00:40:52,241 --> 00:40:54,710
Very rare. God chose me.
775
00:40:55,411 --> 00:40:56,754
You believe that?
776
00:40:58,081 --> 00:40:59,173
Fuck, yeah, bitch.
777
00:40:59,248 --> 00:41:01,751
You're a stupid fucker
if you don't believe in God.
778
00:41:01,876 --> 00:41:04,345
Once you realize all the random
events in your life are God,
779
00:41:04,420 --> 00:41:06,764
you will live a much easier life.
780
00:41:07,423 --> 00:41:09,425
We spend all our time
trying to control all these things
781
00:41:09,509 --> 00:41:11,227
that happen to us, it's bullshit.
782
00:41:11,886 --> 00:41:13,388
The plane you're flying goes down?
783
00:41:13,471 --> 00:41:14,518
Out of your control.
784
00:41:14,597 --> 00:41:17,441
God gives you cancer?
I got no control over that.
785
00:41:17,725 --> 00:41:18,817
Did God give me cancer?
786
00:41:18,893 --> 00:41:20,861
You bet your ass God gave me cancer.
787
00:41:21,062 --> 00:41:22,029
You know, do you think
788
00:41:22,105 --> 00:41:24,105
God would have
given me cancer if I'd asked for it?
789
00:41:24,190 --> 00:41:25,487
Uh, I don't think so,
790
00:41:25,566 --> 00:41:28,365
'cause I begged him
to take it away and guess what?
791
00:41:29,404 --> 00:41:31,156
No control over that, either.
792
00:41:33,032 --> 00:41:35,034
What are you doing here, honey?
793
00:41:35,201 --> 00:41:36,481
You're beautiful, you know that?
794
00:41:38,079 --> 00:41:39,422
Do I scare you?
795
00:41:41,082 --> 00:41:45,258
People are either drawn to me,
or they pretend like they can't see me.
796
00:41:46,587 --> 00:41:47,964
It's a trip.
797
00:41:48,089 --> 00:41:49,762
They think because
I'm close to the other side,
798
00:41:49,882 --> 00:41:52,010
I got some sort of power or wisdom.
799
00:41:52,093 --> 00:41:53,720
Like I got all the answers.
800
00:41:53,803 --> 00:41:55,555
I don't know, maybe I do.
801
00:41:56,764 --> 00:42:00,268
Death gives you perspective.
It all makes sense, somehow.
802
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:03,154
(LAUGHS) And I just can't get over
how beautiful you are.
803
00:42:04,772 --> 00:42:07,275
I can see your arm. Are you an addict?
804
00:42:09,944 --> 00:42:11,116
Yeah.
805
00:42:11,779 --> 00:42:13,122
What's your name?
806
00:42:14,115 --> 00:42:15,458
Nicole.
807
00:42:16,743 --> 00:42:17,995
What do you do in the world, Nicole?
808
00:42:18,119 --> 00:42:20,463
(CHUCKLES) Not much.
809
00:42:21,289 --> 00:42:23,963
I was a photographer,
and then I was a masseuse,
810
00:42:24,042 --> 00:42:27,137
and now I sometimes
wash hair in a salon.
811
00:42:27,295 --> 00:42:29,297
Oh, yeah? Where is it?
812
00:42:29,630 --> 00:42:31,598
I'm gonna come by. I'm real easy,
you just wash my head.
813
00:42:31,674 --> 00:42:32,800
(CHUCKLES)
814
00:42:35,303 --> 00:42:36,976
You think you're going to die?
815
00:42:48,775 --> 00:42:50,448
Don't you just love her?
816
00:42:51,486 --> 00:42:52,954
Don't know her.
817
00:42:53,154 --> 00:42:55,498
Bullshit. I do.
818
00:42:56,657 --> 00:43:00,252
Random act of God? I don't think so.
819
00:43:00,661 --> 00:43:04,256
You survive a plane crash
to meet a beautiful woman in a stairwell.
820
00:43:05,833 --> 00:43:07,176
Fuck you, man.
821
00:43:07,835 --> 00:43:09,303
(DOOR OPENS)
822
00:43:10,838 --> 00:43:12,511
Probably looking for me.
823
00:43:13,341 --> 00:43:14,888
My family just flew in from Utah.
824
00:43:15,009 --> 00:43:17,353
You know it's bad
when they start flying in.
825
00:43:17,470 --> 00:43:18,517
Hmm.
826
00:43:19,305 --> 00:43:21,478
(INHALES SHARPLY) It's a trip.
827
00:43:22,016 --> 00:43:24,189
'Cause every morning is special now.
828
00:43:24,852 --> 00:43:26,525
I'm grateful for that.
829
00:43:27,188 --> 00:43:29,862
I wish I could bottle
this feeling that I have
830
00:43:30,191 --> 00:43:33,195
about how beautiful
every last breath of life is.
831
00:43:35,029 --> 00:43:36,497
(LAUGHS)
832
00:43:36,572 --> 00:43:39,371
Mmm. You think I could get one more,
just for the road?
833
00:43:39,659 --> 00:43:41,502
Here. Take the pack.
834
00:43:43,496 --> 00:43:44,543
Mmm!
835
00:43:46,707 --> 00:43:48,209
Thank you.
836
00:43:48,417 --> 00:43:50,795
I'll pass these out
in the cancer ward. Mmm.
837
00:43:51,379 --> 00:43:54,349
Nicole. You're going to be okay.
838
00:44:01,597 --> 00:44:03,270
Chemo brain.
839
00:44:04,517 --> 00:44:06,235
Makes you pretty foggy.
840
00:44:06,644 --> 00:44:07,645
Oh, yeah?
841
00:44:07,728 --> 00:44:09,401
They call it chemo brain.
842
00:44:09,897 --> 00:44:13,572
My momma, she used
to slur her words and get all chatty.
843
00:44:14,068 --> 00:44:15,741
Your mom had cancer?
844
00:44:16,904 --> 00:44:19,407
Breast cancer. She was only 54.
845
00:44:20,741 --> 00:44:23,085
Is that why you think you're going to die?
846
00:44:25,663 --> 00:44:28,667
Heroin addicts who use needles,
they tend to die.
847
00:44:29,417 --> 00:44:31,090
Especially women, for some reason.
848
00:44:31,210 --> 00:44:33,429
I read that in a pamphlet.
849
00:44:34,922 --> 00:44:38,927
A woman from AA, she just came
to see me whilst I was in rehab.
850
00:44:41,596 --> 00:44:43,098
That guy was a trip, huh?
851
00:44:43,598 --> 00:44:44,770
Yeah.
852
00:44:45,099 --> 00:44:46,897
He made it feel like, I don't know.
853
00:44:48,519 --> 00:44:51,773
Like you and me
were the last people left on this planet.
854
00:44:53,608 --> 00:44:56,782
And together we'll save the world.
855
00:44:57,445 --> 00:44:58,446
(CHUCKLES)
856
00:44:58,946 --> 00:45:00,289
(CHUCKLING)
857
00:45:09,665 --> 00:45:11,008
Where do you live, Nicole?
858
00:45:11,626 --> 00:45:14,800
Why? You want to come visit me?
It's luxurious.
859
00:45:15,463 --> 00:45:17,807
I live in Bankhead, near the bus station.
860
00:45:18,132 --> 00:45:19,475
I'll come visit you.
861
00:45:19,759 --> 00:45:21,432
- You're sweet.
- I will.
862
00:45:22,637 --> 00:45:24,139
What's your address?
863
00:45:25,973 --> 00:45:28,817
I live at the Georgian Terraces,
on Taylor Street.
864
00:45:29,018 --> 00:45:30,065
Okay.
865
00:45:30,937 --> 00:45:33,781
And you say you're a masseuse?
What kind of masseuse?
866
00:45:34,982 --> 00:45:37,986
I've been every kind
of masseuse there is.
867
00:45:40,988 --> 00:45:42,285
Good luck, Nicole.
868
00:45:44,992 --> 00:45:46,665
(TIRES SQUEALING)
869
00:45:49,121 --> 00:45:50,748
HARLING: I couldn't find any suitcases.
870
00:45:50,831 --> 00:45:52,271
I put all your shit in garbage bags.
871
00:45:52,458 --> 00:45:53,675
No, thanks.
872
00:45:56,504 --> 00:45:59,178
You're staying with me
down on University, right?
873
00:45:59,507 --> 00:46:01,180

the NTSB sends a Go Team
to the crash site immediately.

Uh... So... That doesn't mean anything.
1003
00:55:23,445 --> 00:55:24,992
I had a couple of beers
the night before the flight.

- I need a bigger lawyer.

It's not gonna be me, I promise you that.

As long as they're writing checks,
tell them to write one for me, too.
1017
00:55:52,266 --> 00:55:54,064
Because someone put me
in a broken plane.

Felonies punishable by
up to 12 years in prison.
1022
00:56:04,278 --> 00:56:06,372
And if it is proven that your intoxication
1023
00:56:06,446 --> 00:56:08,289
was the cause of the death
of the four passengers,
1024
00:56:08,365 --> 00:56:11,164
now we're gonna look at
four counts of manslaughter.
1025
00:56:11,577 --> 00:56:13,579
That could be life in prison.

do my job on your behalf

Trust me. Trust him.
1031
00:56:33,390 --> 00:56:35,392
You don't have to worry,
you'll walk away from this the hero.
1032
00:56:35,475 --> 00:56:37,148
I'm not worried, Charlie.
1033
00:56:38,562 --> 00:56:40,564
I promise you that I'm not worried.
1034
00:56:40,647 --> 00:56:43,696
No one could have landed
that plane like I did.

No one.

- Excuse me.

00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:02,344
Yeah, let me have an orange juice.
1040

1213
01:08:28,770 --> 01:08:31,148
It's already 18 months past code.
1214
01:08:31,689 --> 01:08:33,657
Their log, that should clearly state
1215
01:08:33,733 --> 01:08:36,907
who labeled the blood vials,
and when, is very incomplete.
1216
01:08:37,028 --> 01:08:39,781
And they used
a preservative in the blood
1217
01:08:39,864 --> 01:08:42,663
that has been known
to cause fermentation,
1218
01:08:42,909 --> 01:08:45,833
and in some cases,
register higher in an alcohol test.

Now, I've done all this,
I've only been here a few days,

too much. I can handle this.

Mr. Carr,
we're going to fight to push all the fault
1224
01:09:00,426 --> 01:09:02,394
onto the manufacturer,
Jackson Ridgefield.
1225
01:09:02,470 --> 01:09:06,520
And you think they're gonna just open
their checkbook and buy us all lunch?

01:09:06,599 --> 01:09:08,272
Good fucking luck.

1228

to come sniffing in my other pockets.

LEN: Speaking for the pilots' union, sir,
1233
01:09:21,989 --> 01:09:24,208
we don't want to see
your airline go away.
1234
01:09:24,283 --> 01:09:26,377

1235
01:09:26,452 --> 01:09:28,125

and in turn, we're gonna
protect your airline.
1237
01:09:30,790 --> 01:09:34,636
Does Whitaker know he's going to jail?
1238
01:09:34,961 --> 01:09:37,009
My clients don't go to jail, Mr. Carr.
1239
01:09:37,130 --> 01:09:40,054
Oh, he's going to jail. He belongs in jail.
1240
01:09:40,133 --> 01:09:42,727
You bet your ass he's going to jail.
The only question is,
1241
01:09:42,802 --> 01:09:44,896
is he going to die in jail?
1242
01:09:45,138 --> 01:09:46,981
You're wrong, Mr. Carr.

1383
01:18:11,477 --> 01:18:16,574
Well, my lack of sleep had nothing to do
with that plane falling apart, Margaret.
1384
01:18:16,649 --> 01:18:18,117
I'm just trying to get this thing straight.
1385
01:18:18,192 --> 01:18:21,071
Now you think any other pilot could have
landed that plane and saved more lives?
1386
01:18:21,153 --> 01:18:22,405
I didn't say that, Whip.
I can't imagine another...
1387
01:18:22,488 --> 01:18:23,489
All right, then.
1388
01:18:23,572 --> 01:18:26,291
Well, imagine your son,
Trevor, in this church,
1389
01:18:26,367 --> 01:18:27,584
looking at you in that box.
1390
01:18:27,660 --> 01:18:29,662
Or my son visiting me in prison. And...
1391
01:18:29,745 --> 01:18:32,965
- Please, Whip, enough. Enough, Whip.
- And for the next 40 years...
1392
01:18:33,040 --> 01:18:35,509
Don't you think we've all had enough?

01:18:43,050 --> 01:18:44,973

1396
01:18:52,476 --> 01:18:54,194
What do you want me to say?
1397
01:18:55,771 --> 01:18:57,398
(SIGHS) I just...
1398
01:18:59,358 --> 01:19:01,281
it was an ordinary day.
1399
01:19:03,862 --> 01:19:07,207
The storm, after we took off,
1400
01:19:07,533 --> 01:19:09,206
was very severe.
1401
01:19:10,703 --> 01:19:13,547
But as far as
the flight crew was concerned,
1402
01:19:14,832 --> 01:19:17,176
it was a perfectly ordinary day.
1403
01:19:38,564 --> 01:19:40,237
- Hey.
- Hi.
1404
01:19:40,316 --> 01:19:41,408
Ah...
1405
01:19:43,068 --> 01:19:44,320
You Okay?
1406
01:19:44,570 --> 01:19:45,913
Uh... Yeah, yeah.
1407
01:19:47,156 --> 01:19:48,408
So?
1408
01:19:48,615 --> 01:19:50,868
Well, I got through my first day.
They didn't fire me.
1409
01:19:50,951 --> 01:19:52,203
- So...
- Good. Good.
1410
01:19:53,078 --> 01:19:55,877
And they need someone to work
the night shift and they asked me.
1411
01:19:55,956 --> 01:19:57,583
It's time and a half, so...
1412
01:19:57,708 --> 01:19:59,085
(BOTH CHUCKLING)
1413
01:20:00,044 --> 01:20:01,341
I got a vest.
1414
01:20:02,254 --> 01:20:03,631
- And a little name tag.
- Nice.
1415
01:20:03,714 --> 01:20:04,715
I got you something.
1416
01:20:04,798 --> 01:20:05,970
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
1417
01:20:08,385 --> 01:20:09,386
Oh...
1418
01:20:10,721 --> 01:20:11,768
It's a P-51 Mustang.
1419
01:20:11,889 --> 01:20:12,936
I know it's a P-51...
1420
01:20:13,057 --> 01:20:14,178
Your daddy fly one of those?
1421
01:20:14,224 --> 01:20:15,396
Yes, he did.
1422
01:20:16,393 --> 01:20:18,066
It's cause for celebration.
1423
01:20:18,395 --> 01:20:21,740
Oh, well, I promised Sheila that
I'd go to this AA meeting now.
1424
01:20:21,940 --> 01:20:24,238
She's my sponsor,
the one that's been helping me.
1425
01:20:24,318 --> 01:20:25,740
Can we celebrate tomorrow night?
1426
01:20:26,236 --> 01:20:27,283
Yeah.
1427
01:20:28,072 --> 01:20:29,073
Yeah, sure, come on.
1428
01:20:33,577 --> 01:20:35,124
You know, you could come with me.
1429
01:20:35,412 --> 01:20:36,834
To the meeting.
1430
01:20:36,955 --> 01:20:39,754
It's an open meeting,
meaning that anyone can come.
1431
01:20:40,250 --> 01:20:41,752
Even you.
1432
01:20:43,253 --> 01:20:45,722
So the cops got a flashlight
on me behind the dumpster.
1433
01:20:45,798 --> 01:20:47,345
I'm wearing nothing
but my girlfriend's panties,
1434
01:20:47,466 --> 01:20:50,094
I got vomit all down
the front of my chest.
1435
01:20:50,302 --> 01:20:53,681
And I say to them,
"Uh, I might have had two beers."
1436
01:20:53,806 --> 01:20:55,774
(ALL LAUGHING)
1437
01:21:01,105 --> 01:21:03,949
So that's how
I got the nickname "Two Beer Barry."
1438
01:21:06,443 --> 01:21:09,071
I'm getting the stink eye
from Ed over here.
1439
01:21:09,154 --> 01:21:11,122
Have I gone off format?
1440
01:21:12,116 --> 01:21:14,289
My name is Barry and I am an alcoholic.
1441
01:21:14,618 --> 01:21:15,665
ALL: Hi, Barry.
1442
01:21:15,953 --> 01:21:18,797
Are there any other alcoholics present?
1443
01:21:24,294 --> 01:21:25,637
I always love a meeting where we
1444
01:21:25,712 --> 01:21:27,180
all have to identify at the top,
1445
01:21:27,297 --> 01:21:31,018
because it forces me
to be honest about who I really am.
1446
01:21:32,469 --> 01:21:35,018
And I never told the truth
out there, obviously.
1447
01:21:35,139 --> 01:21:37,141
I lied about everything.
1448
01:21:38,684 --> 01:21:40,732
I was taught in these rooms
that I would never get sober
1449
01:21:40,853 --> 01:21:43,697
if I kept lying,
but that's what I was best at.
1450
01:21:46,024 --> 01:21:48,118
If I knew anything
in this world it was how to lie,
1451
01:21:48,193 --> 01:21:50,161
especially about my drinking.
1452
01:21:50,487 --> 01:21:54,867
But, whatever. I would lie
about the name of my dog,
1453
01:21:54,992 --> 01:21:58,667
I'd lie about the color of my own hair
right to your face.
1454
01:22:00,038 --> 01:22:01,836
And my whole life just became
1455
01:22:02,583 --> 01:22:05,211
a series of lies strung together by me,
1456
01:22:05,335 --> 01:22:06,962
- one after the other.
- I'm going to go, okay?
1457
01:22:07,045 --> 01:22:08,467
- Sure.
- You got a ride home?
1458
01:22:08,547 --> 01:22:11,391
Uh, yeah. Sheila, she can give
me a ride. This is Sheila.
1459
01:22:11,842 --> 01:22:13,344
- How you doing?
- I'm Sheila.
1460
01:22:14,178 --> 01:22:16,351
BARRY: ...that my lies would kill me.
1461
01:22:17,014 --> 01:22:18,266
Left to their own devices,
1462
01:22:18,390 --> 01:22:21,519
my lies would walk me out that door.
1463
01:22:27,858 --> 01:22:31,203
MORGAN: Is it safe to say that Captain
Whitaker remains a bit of a mystery?
1464
01:22:31,403 --> 01:22:33,405
KEN: Those are your words, sir,
not mine.
1465
01:22:33,697 --> 01:22:34,869
MORGAN: I've been speaking
to some people
1466
01:22:34,948 --> 01:22:37,042
who are very close
to the NTSB investigation.
1467
01:22:37,242 --> 01:22:39,745
They are confident they will
soon be able to determine
1468
01:22:39,870 --> 01:22:42,089
exactly what brought this plane down.
1469
01:22:42,372 --> 01:22:43,749
I'm sure they will, sir.
1470
01:22:44,750 --> 01:22:47,253
MORGAN: Well, Ken and Vicky Evans,
thank you both very much.
1471
01:22:47,544 --> 01:22:49,546

How long have you been out of...
1482
01:23:39,763 --> 01:23:41,436
- Out of a coma?
- Yeah.
1483
01:23:42,432 --> 01:23:43,775
Two days.
1484
01:23:46,144 --> 01:23:47,316
Good.

You were brilliant on CNN, by the way.

01:24:03,287 --> 01:24:07,133
Both my legs are crushed.
My pelvis is snapped.
1490
01:24:07,624 --> 01:24:09,672
I'll probably never walk again,
1491
01:24:09,793 --> 01:24:12,296
at least not without a walker or braces.
1492
01:24:13,130 --> 01:24:15,178
I'll certainly never fly again.
1493
01:24:16,633 --> 01:24:18,306
I'm very sorry, Ken.
1494
01:24:18,802 --> 01:24:22,306
KEN: That plane was doomed
the moment you sat in that cockpit.
1495
01:24:23,140 --> 01:24:25,313
You reeked like gin or something.
1496
01:24:26,476 --> 01:24:29,480
I called Vicky
from the plane before we took off.
1497
01:24:30,647 --> 01:24:32,490
That's when the rain kicked up.
1498

Well, I don't know
how much you remember,
1499
01:24:39,156 --> 01:24:40,658
but that plane,
1500
01:24:41,491 --> 01:24:43,164
it started falling apart, Ken.
1501
01:24:43,493 --> 01:24:45,962
I remember everything until we crashed.
1502
01:24:46,038 --> 01:24:47,665
I know what went on.
1503
01:24:50,167 --> 01:24:51,840
What are we trying to say, Ken?
1504
01:24:52,044 --> 01:24:53,671
What are we talking about?
1505
01:24:54,171 --> 01:24:55,718
I don't know, Captain Whitaker.
1506
01:24:55,839 --> 01:24:57,011
What are we talking about?
1507
01:24:57,215 --> 01:25:00,185
I'm just trying to get a sense from you
1508
01:25:01,845 --> 01:25:05,520
about what you thought
caused the crash.
1509
01:25:06,516 --> 01:25:10,362
Was it the fact that you got on the plane
still drunk from the night before?
1510
01:25:12,689 --> 01:25:17,035
The NTSB is coming back tomorrow
to finish taking a deposition from me.
1511
01:25:17,861 --> 01:25:20,034
About the events on that flight.
1512
01:25:20,364 --> 01:25:24,369
Do you think you'd be alive
if I wasn't flying that plane?
1513
01:25:25,869 --> 01:25:26,870
No.
1514
01:25:27,371 --> 01:25:29,044
We'd all be dead.
1515
01:25:29,873 --> 01:25:33,252
But are you going to argue with me
that your physical state was tip-top?
1516
01:25:39,383 --> 01:25:40,555
Wait.
1517
01:25:41,385 --> 01:25:42,557

1518
01:25:43,387 --> 01:25:44,559
Please.
1519
01:25:50,227 --> 01:25:53,447
I never shared my opinion
about your physical state
1520
01:25:53,563 --> 01:25:55,065
the morning of the flight.
1521
01:25:56,400 --> 01:25:58,073
I never said a word.
1522
01:25:59,111 --> 01:26:00,112
Okay.
1523
01:26:00,237 --> 01:26:02,581
That crash was preordained.
1524
01:26:04,074 --> 01:26:08,079
I prayed on it, Captain.
Vicky and I both prayed on it.
1525

There is only one judge, sir.
1526

Praise Jesus.

And he's got a higher plan for you.
1528
01:26:15,085 --> 01:26:19,591
This event,
although it's tragic in its loss of life,
1529
01:26:21,425 --> 01:26:24,099
it's also a celebration of life.

Will you pray with us?

Jesus, our savior, we thank you
for blessing Captain Whitaker.

on that fateful morning.

1555
01:27:48,512 --> 01:27:49,479
You're insane.
1556
01:27:49,554 --> 01:27:50,555
Yes, I am.
1557
01:27:50,722 --> 01:27:52,724
It was beautiful. It was like a postcard,
1558
01:27:52,849 --> 01:27:56,899
you know, like one of those
picture postcards.
1559
01:27:56,978 --> 01:28:00,699
White sand, beautiful, sky-blue seas.
1560
01:28:01,858 --> 01:28:04,031
It was the most
beautiful thing I ever saw.
1561
01:28:05,529 --> 01:28:07,202
Was the water warm?
1562
01:28:08,198 --> 01:28:09,541
Yes, it was very warm.
1563
01:28:09,741 --> 01:28:11,539
That's my kind of place.
1564
01:28:12,702 --> 01:28:14,079
Let's go.
1565
01:28:14,871 --> 01:28:17,249
Sure. Why not? (CHUCKLES)
1566
01:28:17,374 --> 01:28:19,217
Yeah. Let's go tomorrow.
1567
01:28:19,543 --> 01:28:21,295
- Oh, you're serious.
- I'm dead serious.
1568
01:28:21,419 --> 01:28:22,420
We'll go in the morning.
1569
01:28:22,546 --> 01:28:24,026
You know, we'll just get out of here.
1570
01:28:24,089 --> 01:28:25,591
- Start over.
- Whip, we can't. No.
1571
01:28:25,715 --> 01:28:28,685
Yes, we can. It'll be beautiful.
1572
01:28:29,135 --> 01:28:30,352
Bright sand beaches...
1573
01:28:30,428 --> 01:28:31,930
- I'm worried about you.
- It's...
1574
01:28:32,055 --> 01:28:33,898
Don't worry about me.
I'm fine. Thank you.
1575
01:28:34,224 --> 01:28:36,522
- You're not. You're really not.
- Yes, I am. Yes, lam.
1576
01:28:36,601 --> 01:28:38,399
You need help.
1577
01:28:39,229 --> 01:28:41,231
You need rehab, Whip.
1578
01:28:42,899 --> 01:28:45,743
You think I need rehab?
So, you go to two AA meetings
1579
01:28:45,819 --> 01:28:48,163
and I need rehab? (SCOFFS) Okay.
1580
01:28:48,238 --> 01:28:49,911
Hey, look, who are you, Jesus Christ?
1581
01:28:49,990 --> 01:28:51,583
Don't worry about me, okay?
1582
01:28:51,908 --> 01:28:54,582
You just worry about yourself.
Don't worry about me.
1583
01:28:54,828 --> 01:28:55,909
We're the same, you and me.
1584
01:28:55,954 --> 01:28:56,955
- No, we're not the same.
- Yeah, we are.
1585
01:28:57,080 --> 01:28:59,879
We are not the same.
I don't suck dick to get high, okay?
1586
01:28:59,958 --> 01:29:01,380
And don't give me that
your mother died...
1587
01:29:01,459 --> 01:29:02,506
- I never!
- ...and your father...
1588
01:29:02,627 --> 01:29:03,674
I never in my life...
1589
01:29:03,753 --> 01:29:05,847
Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit.
1590
01:29:05,964 --> 01:29:07,716
- That why you shot dope?
- That's not fair.
1591
01:29:07,799 --> 01:29:09,142
That's why you get high?
1592
01:29:09,259 --> 01:29:11,057

out there whose mothers die
1593

and they don't fucking drink.
1594
01:29:12,262 --> 01:29:13,684
- You're sick, Whip.
- Yeah, well,
1595
01:29:13,805 --> 01:29:15,603
I embrace it. Shit!
1596
01:29:16,474 --> 01:29:17,600
I choose to drink!
1597
01:29:17,767 --> 01:29:18,859
- You do?
- Yes, I do.
1598
01:29:18,977 --> 01:29:21,230
You choose it? Well, I don't see
a whole lot of choice going on here!
1599
01:29:21,313 --> 01:29:24,032
I choose to drink! And I blame myself!
1600
01:29:24,107 --> 01:29:26,860
I'm happy to! And you know why?
1601
01:29:26,943 --> 01:29:29,162
Because I choose to drink!
1602
01:29:29,613 --> 01:29:33,288
I got an ex-wife and a son I never talk to!
1603

Because I choose to drink!

I don't know what's going to happen.
1611

1612

I'm afraid that I'm gonna use again.
Do you understand?
1616
01:30:35,095 --> 01:30:36,221
Then come with me.
1617
01:30:37,180 --> 01:30:39,854
Just come with me. I need help, I do.
1618
01:30:41,017 --> 01:30:42,985
- I'd like it if you got help.
- I'll get help.
1619
01:30:43,061 --> 01:30:45,702
We'll go straight to Jamaica,
we'll go right to the local hospital.
1620

I'll do it.

For you. Any... Anything you want.
1622
01:30:54,030 --> 01:30:55,873
I don't want to use again.
1623
01:30:57,033 --> 01:31:00,207
I can't. I won't make it back, Whip.
1624
01:31:02,205 --> 01:31:03,878
I won't force you to stay.
1625
01:31:04,082 --> 01:31:07,632
If you don't like it,
if I don't sober up, then you leave.

Let me be the first to say,
"Congratulations."
1647
01:34:02,969 --> 01:34:04,892
It's a good day. We've won.
1648
01:34:05,221 --> 01:34:07,940
Yeah, this is what we call,
in my profession, a "walk over."
1649
01:34:08,224 --> 01:34:10,022
Yeah, they scheduled a hearing,
it's 10 days away.

They can be tough,
but you just gotta be sharp.

Answer the questions correctly.
1653

That's right, but we're good.
1654

All right,
I've successfully had an "Act of God"

added to the NTSB's
list of probable causes.

We've shifted suspicion away from you.
1657
01:34:22,447 --> 01:34:24,449
It's no longer a question
of your condition,
1658
01:34:24,574 --> 01:34:26,247
but the condition of the plane.
1659
01:34:26,451 --> 01:34:28,249
Fantastic. That's what I've been
trying to tell everybody.
1660

(ALL CHUCKLING)
1665
01:34:38,129 --> 01:34:41,008
There is no physical proof
that you were intoxicated on that plane,

01:34:41,132 --> 01:34:42,429
and no eyewitnesses.
1667
01:34:42,634 --> 01:34:45,478
So why are we here? We're good.
1668
01:34:45,929 --> 01:34:48,603
Uh... Because there is a small problem.
1669
01:34:48,806 --> 01:34:52,151
Because of turbulence,
there was no drink service on the flight,
1670
01:34:52,435 --> 01:34:56,565
but they did find two empty
vodka bottles in the galley trash.
1671
01:34:56,648 --> 01:34:58,150
Yeah, um...
1672
01:34:58,608 --> 01:35:00,702
And there's no physical
evidence on the bottles.
1673
01:35:00,818 --> 01:35:03,241
No DNA, no fingerprints
to link them to anyone,
1674
01:35:03,321 --> 01:35:05,369
but they were uncapped and empty.
1675
01:35:05,615 --> 01:35:07,375
And the only people
who would have had access
1676
01:35:07,492 --> 01:35:10,666
to those bottles would be the flight crew.

they only found two bottles.

- Why is that?
- I drank three.

I'm in awe of what you did.

1693
01:35:58,209 --> 01:35:59,552
placed them in simulators,
1694

re-created the events that led
to this plane falling out of the sky.
1695
01:36:03,339 --> 01:36:06,559
Do you know how many of them
were able to safely land the planes?
1696
01:36:06,676 --> 01:36:07,677
Not one.

killed everybody on board.

01:36:18,688 --> 01:36:19,860
I'm telling you right now,
you walk away...

- Listen, man.
- ...you're going to prison.

Huh? Don't kill yourself
on my account, Hugh.

1708
01:36:29,365 --> 01:36:31,584
is a federal agency hearing.

Yes, I understand that.
1710

Okay. Well, we can't play
around with these people.
1711

in the kinds of questions

she can ask you.

Damn it!
1891
01:49:49,331 --> 01:49:51,004
- Oh, no. Is he dead?
- I don't know.
1892
01:49:51,250 --> 01:49:52,593
- Is he dead?
- I don't know.
1893
01:49:52,835 --> 01:49:54,007
WHIP: Yeah, I'm dead!
1894
01:49:54,086 --> 01:49:56,009

get an ambulance?
1895
01:49:56,255 --> 01:49:58,178
- No, no, no. No. No.
- No.
1896

WHIP: Who's making all that noise?
1897
01:49:59,591 --> 01:50:01,935
Let's just get him to the bed. Come on.
1898
01:50:02,261 --> 01:50:03,604
Come on. That's all right.
1899
01:50:03,929 --> 01:50:05,181
HUGH: That's it, Charlie.
1900
01:50:05,264 --> 01:50:07,425
Okay? That's it.
We're fucked, man. He just fucked us.
1901
01:50:07,516 --> 01:50:09,143
Your guy just fucked us, Charlie.
1902
01:50:09,226 --> 01:50:11,445
All right. You just get on the front door
make sure nobody comes in.
1903
01:50:11,520 --> 01:50:12,692
Put that on your head.
1904
01:50:12,771 --> 01:50:15,024
There you go, man. What time is it?
1905
01:50:15,107 --> 01:50:16,575
We've got 45 minutes, okay?
1906
01:50:16,650 --> 01:50:18,277
How much grace you think we've got?
1907
01:50:18,360 --> 01:50:19,862
Grace? Ellen Block?
1908
01:50:19,945 --> 01:50:21,538
We're going to get some fucking grace?
1909
01:50:21,613 --> 01:50:22,865
(STAMMERING) Well,
we probably got an hour before
1910
01:50:22,948 --> 01:50:24,450
we really gotta get him downstairs.
1911
01:50:24,533 --> 01:50:25,830
Okay. Great.
Well, let's just get a wheelchair
1912
01:50:25,909 --> 01:50:27,035
and wheel his ass into the hearing!
1913
01:50:27,119 --> 01:50:28,416
Call Harling Mays, man.
1914
01:50:28,495 --> 01:50:29,621
Oh, Harling's got a wheelchair?
1915
01:50:29,705 --> 01:50:31,127
He's got cocaine.
1916
01:50:32,124 --> 01:50:33,467
Cocaine?
1917

- Thanks for...
- Do not touch the merch, motherfucker!

Take one step back, please.

I need that table cleared
1928
01:51:11,705 --> 01:51:14,003
and placed in front of Whip
with a chair behind it.
1929
01:51:14,666 --> 01:51:16,339

I need a credit card,

out of the top of the cigarette, please.

(MOANING) Okay.
1945
01:51:59,878 --> 01:52:01,221

All right. Now focus up, big dog.

Here's the train coming to you.
1957
01:52:47,467 --> 01:52:48,468

Banana boat's coming.
1960
01:52:54,933 --> 01:52:56,355
And the banana boat is here.

It's 500 bucks.

Pay him.

ask you anything about your drinking,

it's totally acceptable
to say, "I don't recall."

Hey, don't tell me
how to lie about my drinking, okay?
1993

For the record, I'm Ellen Block,
hearing officer for this hearing.
1998
01:55:42,934 --> 01:55:44,607
Captain Whitaker, good morning.
1999
01:55:44,769 --> 01:55:45,816
Morning.
2000
01:55:45,896 --> 01:55:46,863
(COUGHS) Morning.
2001
01:55:46,938 --> 01:55:48,906
ELLEN: What that video captures is that
2002
01:55:48,982 --> 01:55:51,451
the aircraft
was in a relatively stable glide
2003
01:55:51,526 --> 01:55:53,779
just prior to the moment of impact.
2004
01:55:53,862 --> 01:55:56,081
However, according to
the data we retrieved
2005
01:55:56,156 --> 01:55:58,033
from the cockpit data recorders,
2006
01:55:58,283 --> 01:56:02,709
at exactly 9:34,
after flying 27 minutes without incident,
2007
01:56:02,787 --> 01:56:05,631
the transponder recorded
a loss in altitude
2008
01:56:05,707 --> 01:56:09,052
in excess of 4,800 feet per minute
2009
01:56:09,294 --> 01:56:12,798
in what is considered
a "full pitch nose down" attitude.
2010
01:56:13,131 --> 01:56:17,682
Then, at 9:42,
according to the data recorders,
2011
01:56:17,886 --> 01:56:20,981
a decision was made
to invert the aircraft.
2012
01:56:21,056 --> 01:56:23,809
The NTSB has created
an animated simulation
2013
01:56:23,892 --> 01:56:26,065

01:56:57,551 --> 01:56:59,098

01:57:06,476 --> 01:57:07,978
did you say inverted?

That audio is tragic and compelling.
2036
01:57:12,023 --> 01:57:14,367
I chose to play that part
of the cockpit recording
2037
01:57:14,609 --> 01:57:17,783
to highlight a key moment
on board flight 227,
2038
01:57:18,029 --> 01:57:20,532
wherein you say, "We're going to roll it."
2039
01:57:20,865 --> 01:57:23,038
"Here we go. I've got control."
2040
01:57:23,285 --> 01:57:26,835
You made a very conscious decision
to invert the aircraft,
2041
01:57:26,913 --> 01:57:29,712
to roll the plane upside down,
is that correct?
2042
01:57:32,877 --> 01:57:35,721
I'm not sure if it was conscious. But...
2043
01:57:37,215 --> 01:57:39,217
it was more like instinct.
2044
01:57:40,385 --> 01:57:42,387
What led to that decision?
2045
01:57:44,347 --> 01:57:45,348

01:57:50,437 --> 01:57:52,735
"From 9:34 until 9:42,
2049
01:57:52,814 --> 01:57:55,818
the events on the aircraft are,"
again I quote,
2050
01:57:55,900 --> 01:57:58,073
"bold and remarkable."
2051
01:57:58,403 --> 01:58:01,907
"By inverting the plane,
Captain Whitaker arrested the descent
2052
01:58:02,157 --> 01:58:04,660
and allowed the aircraft to level off,
2053
01:58:04,909 --> 01:58:08,755
enabling him to glide the aircraft
away from any populated areas
2054
01:58:08,997 --> 01:58:13,173
and allowing him to execute
a forced landing in an open field."

01:58:43,281 --> 01:58:45,283
Nothing's happening.
2062
01:58:45,950 --> 01:58:47,167
This remote isn't working.
2063
01:58:47,243 --> 01:58:49,792
Apologies. I can do this manually.
2064
01:59:00,965 --> 01:59:03,639
This is the jackscrew
on the tail assembly
2065
01:59:03,718 --> 01:59:06,813
that articulates the horizontal stabilizer,
2066
01:59:06,971 --> 01:59:08,473
also known as the elevator.
2067
01:59:08,556 --> 01:59:09,773
As you can see,
2068
01:59:10,058 --> 01:59:13,187
the threads on this screw
are almost entirely gone.
2069
01:59:13,645 --> 01:59:16,899
This part was suggested as
a maintenance replacement
2070
01:59:17,232 --> 01:59:20,953
in January of 2011.
It was never replaced.
2071
01:59:21,486 --> 01:59:24,410
It had an additional
1,200 hours of flight on it.
2072
01:59:24,489 --> 01:59:25,661
It finally failed.
2073
01:59:25,782 --> 01:59:28,285
Our investigators have concluded
2074
01:59:28,743 --> 01:59:30,586
that the jackscrew snapped
2075
01:59:30,829 --> 01:59:34,504
and the elevator was frozen
in a fixed position,
2076
01:59:34,833 --> 01:59:37,382
locking the elevator in a down position,
2077
01:59:37,460 --> 01:59:39,838
which forced the plane into a dive.
2078
01:59:40,171 --> 01:59:43,926
The loss of the elevator was,
and I quote our report,
2079
01:59:44,008 --> 01:59:47,512
"A catastrophic event
from which recovery was improbable
2080
01:59:47,595 --> 01:59:49,814
and stable flight impossible."
2081
01:59:53,685 --> 01:59:55,028
Mr. Whitaker,
2082
01:59:55,854 --> 01:59:57,822
I want to talk about the days leading
2083
01:59:57,897 --> 02:00:00,525
and the hours leading
up to the accident.
2084
02:00:00,650 --> 02:00:01,742
But before I do,
2085
02:00:01,818 --> 02:00:03,570
I want to remind you
that you are under oath
2086
02:00:03,653 --> 02:00:05,451
and that any testimony
you give here today
2087
02:00:05,530 --> 02:00:06,952
will be considered admissible
2088
02:00:07,073 --> 02:00:09,826
in any subsequent hearings
or criminal proceedings.
2089
02:00:10,034 --> 02:00:12,036
Do you understand what that means?
2090
02:00:14,080 --> 02:00:17,584
Captain Whitaker, for the record,
I need you to verbalize your answer.
2091
02:00:18,835 --> 02:00:21,179
Uh, I'm sorry. Yes, I understand.
2092
02:00:21,629 --> 02:00:23,802
On the three days
leading up to the accident,
2093
02:00:23,882 --> 02:00:25,475
Tuesday, October 11th,
2094
02:00:25,550 --> 02:00:29,054
Wednesday, October 12th
or Thursday, October 13th,
2095
02:00:29,137 --> 02:00:33,233
did you consume any alcohol
or other intoxicating elements?
2096
02:00:34,184 --> 02:00:35,527
No, I did not.
2097
02:00:35,977 --> 02:00:37,695
ELLEN: On the morning of the accident,
2098
02:00:37,937 --> 02:00:39,985
Friday, October 14th,
2099
02:00:40,064 --> 02:00:45,241
did you consume any alcohol
or ingest any chemicals or drugs
2100
02:00:45,320 --> 02:00:48,995
that may have impaired
your ability to perform your job?
2101
02:00:49,407 --> 02:00:51,080
No, I did not.
2102
02:00:51,951 --> 02:00:55,581
Mr. Whitaker, do you now
or have you ever had
2103
02:00:55,663 --> 02:00:57,882
a problem with alcohol dependency,
2104
02:00:57,957 --> 02:01:00,426
alcoholism or drug addiction?
2105
02:01:00,752 --> 02:01:01,753
No.
2106
02:01:04,088 --> 02:01:06,261
Okay, Mr. Whitaker, we're about done.
2107
02:01:13,348 --> 02:01:17,103
Due to the severe turbulence
in the early part of the flight,
2108
02:01:17,185 --> 02:01:19,529
you asked the flight crew to suspend
2109
02:01:19,604 --> 02:01:21,606
the beverage service
on the plane, is that correct?
2110
02:01:21,815 --> 02:01:22,816
Yes, that's correct.
2111
02:01:23,024 --> 02:01:25,527
I suspended
the drink service on the plane.
2112
02:01:25,610 --> 02:01:28,079
Are you aware that
our investigators found
2113
02:01:28,154 --> 02:01:31,749
two single service vodka bottles
in the galley trash bin?
2114
02:01:34,118 --> 02:01:35,461
Yes, I'm aware of that.
2115
02:01:36,788 --> 02:01:39,132
There were five crew members on board
2116
02:01:39,207 --> 02:01:41,801
that would have had access
to the beverage trolley.
2117
02:01:42,126 --> 02:01:44,049
Less than an hour after the accident,
2118
02:01:44,128 --> 02:01:46,096
blood was taken from each
of these crew members,
2119
02:01:46,172 --> 02:01:49,096
yourself, First Officer Evans,
2120
02:01:49,843 --> 02:01:52,187
Flight Attendant Margaret Thomason,
2121
02:01:52,804 --> 02:01:55,648
and posthumously from Camelia Satou
2122
02:01:56,307 --> 02:01:58,480
and Katerina Marquez.
2123
02:01:59,310 --> 02:02:02,655
Toxicology analysis was performed and
2124
02:02:03,147 --> 02:02:05,650
three of these tests came back negative,
2125
02:02:05,733 --> 02:02:08,657
one was disqualified
for technical reasons,
2126
02:02:08,736 --> 02:02:11,410
and one tested positive for alcohol.
2127
02:02:11,489 --> 02:02:14,493
It registered a .17 blood alcohol level.
2128
02:02:14,826 --> 02:02:16,499
Are you aware of that?
2129
02:02:17,161 --> 02:02:19,334
Yeah, I'm aware of it now.
2130
02:02:22,083 --> 02:02:23,300
Mmm-hmm.
2131
02:02:26,087 --> 02:02:28,761
Miss Marquez was not only a colleague,
2132
02:02:28,840 --> 02:02:31,719
but you knew her outside of work,
is that correct?
2133
02:02:33,094 --> 02:02:34,767
Outside of work?
2134
02:02:35,597 --> 02:02:36,598
No, not really.
2135
02:02:37,098 --> 02:02:39,692
Did you know Miss Marquez
had a drinking problem?
2136
02:02:40,852 --> 02:02:41,944
No, I did not.
2137
02:02:42,353 --> 02:02:44,105
Did you ever see her drink to excess?
2138
02:02:47,108 --> 02:02:48,451
No, I did not.
2139
02:02:48,693 --> 02:02:51,697
ELLEN: Were you aware that she was
twice treated for alcohol addiction?
2140
02:02:51,779 --> 02:02:56,034
The last time was 16 months ago
and paid for by SouthJet Airlines.
2141
02:02:57,118 --> 02:02:58,290
No, I did not.
2142
02:03:08,755 --> 02:03:10,428
Is it your opinion
2143
02:03:10,882 --> 02:03:12,850
that Katerina Marquez
2144
02:03:13,801 --> 02:03:15,644
drank on that flight?
2145
02:03:27,273 --> 02:03:29,116
Could you repeat the question?
2146
02:03:29,442 --> 02:03:34,619
Is it your opinion that Katerina Marquez
drank on that flight?
2147
02:03:46,292 --> 02:03:47,464
I'm sorry, my what?
2148
02:03:47,543 --> 02:03:49,216
Your opinion, Captain.
2149
02:03:49,337 --> 02:03:52,307
Since her toxicology report
is the only toxicology report
2150
02:03:52,382 --> 02:03:54,476
that is admissible in this hearing,
2151
02:03:54,550 --> 02:03:57,224
and she in fact tested
positive for alcohol,
2152
02:03:57,303 --> 02:03:59,897
is it your opinion that Katerina Marquez
2153
02:04:00,139 --> 02:04:03,985
drank those two bottles
of vodka on the plane?
2154
02:04:13,653 --> 02:04:15,326
(EXHALES) God help me.
2155
02:04:15,989 --> 02:04:17,081
ELLEN: I'm sorry, Mr. Whitaker,
2156
02:04:17,156 --> 02:04:19,329
I couldn't hear you. What did you say?
2157
02:04:21,828 --> 02:04:23,501
I said, "God help me."
2158
02:04:24,664 --> 02:04:27,588
Yes, well, however, is it your opinion...
2159
02:04:27,667 --> 02:04:28,839
It's my opinion
2160
02:04:29,419 --> 02:04:32,923
Trina did not drink that vodka.
2161
02:04:33,589 --> 02:04:34,841
Excuse me, Mr. Whitaker?
2162
02:04:34,924 --> 02:04:36,564
WHIP: She saved the boy's life, that's...
2163
02:04:36,592 --> 02:04:37,844
Could you speak louder,
Captain Whitaker?
2164
02:04:37,927 --> 02:04:40,680
Trina Marquez did not drink the vodka
2165
02:04:42,348 --> 02:04:44,350
because I drank the vodka.
2166
02:04:44,600 --> 02:04:45,601
(AUDIENCE MURMURING)
2167
02:04:46,019 --> 02:04:47,942
What the hell? Objection!
2168
02:04:49,605 --> 02:04:51,206
NTSB OFFICER: Please
be seated, sir. Sir.
2169
02:04:51,274 --> 02:04:52,776
CHARLIE: Captain Whitaker misspoke.
2170
02:04:53,443 --> 02:04:54,723
WHIP: I drank the vodka bottles.
2171
02:04:54,736 --> 02:04:55,862
CHARLIE: Didn't you hear me?
I said I object!
2172
02:04:56,112 --> 02:04:58,786
Please be seated, sir.
This is not a courtroom.
2173
02:04:58,906 --> 02:04:59,907
Well, I object anyway!
2174
02:05:01,701 --> 02:05:04,045
I drank the vodka bottles on the plane.
2175
02:05:05,788 --> 02:05:07,210
Captain Whitaker,
2176
02:05:07,290 --> 02:05:10,294
on the three nights
before the accident, October 11th...
2177
02:05:10,376 --> 02:05:12,470
October 11th, October 12th,
2178
02:05:12,545 --> 02:05:15,469
and 13th and 14th, I was intoxicated.
2179
02:05:15,548 --> 02:05:18,392
I drank all of those days. I drank.
2180
02:05:19,218 --> 02:05:20,561
In excess.
2181
02:05:21,971 --> 02:05:23,473
On the morning of the accident...
2182
02:05:23,639 --> 02:05:24,982
I was drunk.
2183
02:05:32,899 --> 02:05:34,401
I'm drunk now.
2184
02:05:40,823 --> 02:05:44,327
I'm drunk right now, Miss Block.
2185
02:05:51,751 --> 02:05:53,753
Because I'm an alcoholic.
2186
02:06:19,278 --> 02:06:20,621
WHIP: That was it.
2187
02:06:24,450 --> 02:06:25,793
I was finished.
2188
02:06:27,787 --> 02:06:29,130
I was done.
2189
02:06:32,291 --> 02:06:36,467
It was as if I had reached
my lifelong limit
2190
02:06:37,130 --> 02:06:38,473
of lies.
2191
02:06:39,298 --> 02:06:41,972
I could not tell one more lie.
2192
02:06:45,638 --> 02:06:47,481
And maybe I'm a sucker,
2193
02:06:49,642 --> 02:06:52,145
'cause if I had told just one more lie,
2194
02:06:52,478 --> 02:06:55,322
I could have walked away
from all that mess
2195
02:06:55,648 --> 02:06:59,323
and kept my wings,
kept my false sense of pride.
2196
02:07:01,988 --> 02:07:03,581
And more importantly,
2197
02:07:03,698 --> 02:07:05,245
I could have avoided being locked up
2198
02:07:05,324 --> 02:07:06,746
in here with all you
2199
02:07:07,493 --> 02:07:10,337
nice folks for the last 13 months.
2200
02:07:14,041 --> 02:07:15,384
But I'm here.
2201
02:07:16,669 --> 02:07:20,765
And I'll be here
for at least the next four or five years.
2202
02:07:20,840 --> 02:07:22,183
And that's fair.
2203
02:07:25,845 --> 02:07:28,519
I betrayed the public trust. I did.
2204
02:07:28,598 --> 02:07:30,271
That's how the judge explained it to me.
2205
02:07:30,349 --> 02:07:32,852
I had betrayed the public trust.
2206
02:07:34,854 --> 02:07:37,778
The FAA, they took away
my pilot's license.
2207
02:07:39,734 --> 02:07:41,281
And that's fair.
2208
02:07:42,111 --> 02:07:45,786
My chances
of ever flying again are slim to none.
2209
02:07:47,700 --> 02:07:49,373
And I accept that.
2210
02:07:52,413 --> 02:07:55,257
I've had a lot of time
to think about it, all of it.
2211
02:07:57,084 --> 02:07:59,428
I've been doing some writing.
2212
02:08:01,255 --> 02:08:05,601
I wrote letters to each of the families
that had lost loved ones.
2213
02:08:08,429 --> 02:08:10,932
Some of them were able
to hear my apology.
2214
02:08:12,600 --> 02:08:14,273
Some of them never will.
2215
02:08:15,937 --> 02:08:18,440
I also apologized to
2216
02:08:19,774 --> 02:08:24,450
all the people
that tried to help me along the way, but I
2217
02:08:25,738 --> 02:08:27,911
couldn't or wouldn't listen.
2218
02:08:31,786 --> 02:08:34,130
People like my wife, you know.
2219
02:08:37,458 --> 02:08:39,460
My ex-wife and, uh,
2220
02:08:43,464 --> 02:08:44,807
my son.
2221
02:08:48,302 --> 02:08:51,476
And again, like I said,
you know, some of them will
2222
02:08:53,808 --> 02:08:56,152
never forgive me. Some of them will.
2223
02:08:58,854 --> 02:09:00,697
But at least I'm sober.
2224
02:09:03,317 --> 02:09:06,491
I thank God for that.
I'm grateful for that.
2225
02:09:09,532 --> 02:09:11,250
And this is going to sound real stupid
2226
02:09:11,367 --> 02:09:14,211
coming from a man
who's locked up in prison,
2227
02:09:16,330 --> 02:09:18,674
but for the first time in my life,
2228
02:09:19,834 --> 02:09:21,211
I'm free.
2229
02:09:35,016 --> 02:09:37,519
Whitaker. You got a visitor.
2230
02:10:12,178 --> 02:10:13,179
(BUZZER SOUNDS)
2231
02:10:15,222 --> 02:10:17,270
GUARD: - You got 40 minutes.
- Okay.
2232
02:10:21,937 --> 02:10:22,938
(LAUGHS)
2233
02:10:23,814 --> 02:10:24,815
Aw.
2234
02:10:26,442 --> 02:10:27,443
