The name's Striker.
I'm sitting down and facing front.
:48:06
- Why would you want to know that?
- Striker?
:48:12
Striker!
:48:17
- Ted Striker?
- That's right, McCroskey.
:48:19
I may be in the cockpit,
but there's not much I can do.
:48:23
We're at the mercy of the computer.
:48:28
- McCroskey, do you read me?
- Striker?
:48:31
- McCroskey!
- You're fading out. Come in.
:48:34
- Damn! Lost them again.
- Could be sunspots.
:48:36
Or your detergent.
:48:37
Striker flew that 767 into Chicago
years ago without a crew.
:48:41
Now, would somebody tell me
what he's doing up there?
:48:45
The radio's gone dead.
Elaine, try the emergency phone.
:48:51
Help us, please.
:48:53
Thank you for calling the mission
control emergency line.
:48:56
All our operators are busy,
so please stand by.
:48:59
- Ted, it's a recording.
- Let me have that.
:49:03
We said all our operators are busy,
so please stand by!
:49:09
The boys downtown
are taking heat from Washington.
:49:13
The president will want
an explanation.
:49:15
Bud, let the boys in Washington
handle the president.
:49:18
Sorry to pull you out of bed.
:49:20
- Forget it. I was reading.
- What's the story?
:49:22
It's about an man who catches this
fish, but that's not important now.
:49:26
We've restored radio contract.
:49:28
Good. We keep losing their radio.
:49:31
McCroskey, give it to me straight.
What's it look like?
:49:34
A radio? It's about so big,
green, lots of knobs.
:49:38
I mean the situation.
What do your people think?
:49:43
They're screwed.
:49:45
They're dead.
:49:48
Did I leave the iron on?
:49:57
- Come in, Control.
- We read you. Come in.
