The story so far
Everything you need before watchingThey reach the airport and it is chaos: bags emptied, unidentified luggage blown up. A flight attendant pulls Captain Beverley aside: a Muslim man on the flight was seen praying. He is taken in for the most thorough body search she has ever witnessed. She finds him and apologizes. At the gate, passengers try to vote on the destination. She shuts it down: this is not a democracy.
