Hello? I'm on my way.

1:34 a.m.

Friday.

September 14th. Shelters will be alerted as each plane is cleared to go.

Our pilot says to pack up.

It's sudden notice. Middle of the night, and we're leaving in an hour.

But these people, they make these bag lunches

and form a gauntlet handing 'em out.

And we all walk through it, get our lunches

and say goodbye to all of 'em.

We try to give 'em money, but they won't take it.

No, m'son. You would've done the same.

I drank all your whiskey.

I would've done the same.

Good morning.

You were snoring.

My head hurts.

You had a couple.

Did I kiss the fish?

What, don't you...

Yes, you did.

Good. Wait...

We're running out of time. Our plane could be the next one to go.

Our plane could be the next one to go.

Are you still upset that I kissed a fish?

No.

I'm upset because I left the bar and you didn't even notice.

You left without telling me.

After everything that's happened,

you're out there acting like it's okay, and it's not okay.

I know!

But I'm not just gonna shut myself inside.

Let's just get back to LA.

While you're in Dallas, I'd love to have you over.

I tried to change my flight to New York. They wouldn't do it.

My conference was canceled, so I head back to London immediately.

I don't understand. Why would...

I just need to be back home.

Back home.

Back home?

Back home?

Well, all good things, right?

As the plane people leave, they keep stopping us, thanking us,

trying to give us money. But we say...

No, buddy. You would've done the same.

But one guy keeps insisting until Beulah finally tells him…

Look, you can slip it in the suggestion box down at town hall.

But, honestly, we're happy with a thank-you on your way out.

Captain Bristol, that pilot from Virgin Atlantic,

he comes to find me to help him round up his passengers.

Annette, my darling.

Before I leave, I need to thank you for everything we've shared.

Though I travel home today, I leave my heart behind.

Annette!

Don't.

Get...

Goodbye! Take care!

Bye now!

Take care now!

Tell us when the baby's born!

Don't be a stranger!

We get down to the airport, and it's chaos.

Passengers dropped off from multiple flights.

Every bag has to be emptied.

No scissors, no nail clippers.

If any bags are unidentified, they'll be blown up.

Then someone says there's issues with security.

One of my flight attendants comes to find me, and she says…

There's a Muslim man on our flight.

I saw him praying, and he's been acting suspicious.

He doesn't have a carry-on, and...

I'm not getting back on that plane with him.

I arrive at the airport and am pulled out of line.

I am responsible for the safety of my passengers and my crew.

And Security tells me that any perceived threats must be taken extremely seriously.

They bring me into a private room, and he's brought in for questioning.

At first, I do not understand what the police are asking.

And then I do.

In my culture, there is a word, awrah.

The area between your stomach and your knees.

It is forbidden in my religion for anyone to see this but my wife.

To have a woman in the room watching this, watching me…

You can't understand.

It is the most thorough body search I've ever witnessed.

When it's over, I find him and tell him…

I am so very sorry that happened.

Am I free to go now?

When are we leaving?

Good morning! We are one of the first flights to leave,

which makes us one of the lucky ones,

as some planes may still be here for quite some time.

Now, I have no control over this.

You have paid for a flight from Paris to Dallas,

and if I get clearance, I'll take you to Dallas.

But if I am not cleared for Dallas, I have to take you back to France.

But we will make arrangements as quickly as we can

to get y'all back to the United States

and where you need to be.

No, no. I can't go back.

I just adopted my daughter, and if I don't...

Hey! Hey! We can vote on this!

We can make 'em go where we wanna go.

Well, who is for Dallas?

Screw that! Who's for Switzerland?

This is not a democracy!

I am the captain, and this is coming from American Airlines and the FAA.

You are not voting on our destination.

Now, if we have any situation that needs to be dealt with,

we will be pulled out of line,

and then we will be the last flight to leave.

Thank you for your cooperation.

After hours of waiting, they tell us we're not leaving yet after all.

4:18 p.m. There's a 747 with a flat tire blocking the runway.

All planes are stopped.

No one's taking off.

Welcome back!

We're told by our pilot to stay close to our shelter

so we're ready to go again.

But Diane wants to take one last look round.

And I can't let her go by herself.

And we find a gorgeous lookout.

The Dover Fault.

There's about a million stairs.

It's beautiful.

Nick! You gotta see this.

Wow!

I can't believe we're here.

I know.

I can't believe we're leaving.

I don't want to go.

What did you say?

I don't know. I...

I'm going to take a picture or two.
