Theorizing that one could time travel within his own lifetime,
Dr. Sam Beckett stepped into the Quantum Leap accelerator...
and vanished.
He awoke to find himself trapped in the past,
facing mirror images that were not his own...
and driven by an unknown force to change history for the better.
His only guide on this journey is Al, an observer from his own time,
who appears in the form of a hologram that only Sam can see and hear.
And so, Dr. Beckett finds himself leaping from life to life,
striving to put right what once went wrong...
and hoping each time that his next leap...
will be the leap home.
Uh, oh, boy!
Whenever you fly, they tell you in emergencies to put your head between your legs.
I guess that makes it easier to kiss your butt good-bye.
Whoa! Hang on, Eddie. Hang on.
Come on. Come on. That's a baby.
That-a-girl. That-a-girl. Easy.
All right.
- What happened? - Huh?
The automatic pilot flip out again?
Well, uh...
Didn't you squawk it after the Miami run?
Squawk it?
- Write it up in the maintenance log. - My God.
I forgot you didn't go to military flight school, did you? I don't think so.
Well, turn that damn black box off. We're gonna fly this baby to Bermuda the way God intended... by the seat of our pants.
We're goin' to Bermuda? By the seat of our pants.
You okay, Brackett? Yeah. I'm fine.
Well, even if you're not, you better learn to act like you are. Reassures the passengers...
Yeah. Which you should do before they panic.
Tell 'em we hit a, uh, air pocket.
No such thing as an air pocket. Well, we know that. They don't.
Okay. Air pocket. Got it. After you turn off the automatic pilot.
The little silver box with the green light.
What the hell's the matter with you?
Well, I gotta... say.
I was just wonderin' why that compass is... is doin' that.
Must be a magnetic disturbance. Ah.
Without a, uh, gyrocompass we'd be in... big trouble.
Get on the bird dog. See if you can tune in Bermuda.
The bird dog... The radio compass.
"Bird dog" must be what you called it in the...
the navy.
Now we should be in range, unless... Unless what?
Unless the autopilot flew us off course.
Uh, you know, it's easier to tune it in if you use the headset.
Whew.
Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Sorry.
- Everything okeydokey? - Oh, just fine, hon.
Then one of you better get back there and tellJunior. I don't know who's paler... him or his new bride.
You better get back there, Brackett. GrantJr. Strikes me as the same kind of ass as his daddy.
Coop, what if he heard you?
I'd get fired, and you'd have to support me. Oh, yeah?
You guys are married. And you're actin' like it too.
Uh, excuse me.
Hey, what really happened a minute ago?
Uh, w-we hit an air pocket.
Oh, he's lookin' a little green around the gills. Wet too.
"Ttek-carb."
Mm-mmm. "Brack"...
"Brackett." Huh. Hi.
Now that you know your name, maybe you can tell me why I'm wearing my mai tai and not drinking it.
I'm sorry. We, uh... We hit an air pocket?
Why is it we don't hit air pockets when my dad is on board?
Just lucky, I guess.
Yeah. Look. Will you freshen this up for me? I'm gonna go to the john, and...
tell Michelle we're not going to crash.
Yeah. Okay.
Is he grouching like his old man? Yeah. Yeah, I guess so.
He... He wants an-another mai tai. Ah.
Aye, aye, Captain.
Everything okay? Yeah. Fine.
- Did I say congratulations? - Um, when we came on board.
Oh. Well, once is never enough when you're...
a new bride, so... congratulations.
Thank you... Mr., um, Br-Brackett. Uh, Eddie. Ed. Ed...
Call me "Ed" or "Eddie." It's fine.
Listen. That little, uh, dive back there...
Mm-hmm. That was... That was because we hit an air pocket.
And, uh, I'm really sorry about that. You want me to get you another one of those?
Uh, no, thank you. Don't wanna wear it like Grant. Oh, no. Don't worry about that.
It's gonna be smooth sailin' from here on in, I'm sure. Okay. Oh!
What's wrong? Oh, nothing.
What is it? Oh, it's nothing. It's just, uh... just stomach cramps.
Guess those mai tais didn't mix very well with the crab cracker things.
Just don't tell Grant.
If you're ill, we can... No. I'm fine. I'm fine.
Hi, sweetheart. Where's our drinks, Eddie?
- The stewardess is makin' them. - Stewardess? That's gettin' awful formal, calling Wendy a stewardess.
I'm sorry. Wendy is making yours. Your wife doesn't want one.
We are on our honeymoon.
Okay. I'll have another mai tai.
- You sure? - Yeah... um, just none of those crab crackers.
You heard the lady, Eddie. Another mai tai.
Okay.
Pilots. Ask them to do anything except fly you from point "A" to point "B," and they act like they're doin' you a favor.
Oh, right now, I just want them to get to point "B." That's all I want them to do.
Mrs. Cutter, you are still thinking like a Michelle Temple.
Only you fell in love with Michelle Temple.
That I did.
Mm-hmm.
Stewardess lesson number one, Eddie: Don't argue if the passenger wants a drink.
She just doesn't look very good, that's all.
Who does after that dive? Except Coop, of course.
Ooh. A Grumman Goose, and converted for executive use. Nice.
What a bird. They don't make planes the way they used to...
or stewardesses.
I'll fix you and Coop a sandwich after I deliver this. Great.
Oh. Here. Yeah. Hey, you could fix me a sandwich anytime. In fact...
Where the hell have you been? You... Huh?
I almost crashed this thing a minute ago. Hey, take it easy.
You're a movin' target. You're lucky that Ziggy was able to find you at all.
Now... Oh, look at this plane.
My gosh. Do you know that in World War II...
the Grumman Goose was used to chase down German U-boats?
As a matter of fact, it helped... it helped save... Al, Al, give me...
thousands of... Give me the history lesson later, okay?
Right now I need to know what I'm doin' here.
Okay. Okay.
It's August 13, 1956. You're a copilot by the name of...
Eddie Brackett. Right here. Oh, yeah. Francis Edward Brackett.
Uh, you're a fledgling, airborne limo driver.
Maybe he is, but I'm not. In case you don't remember, I don't drive these things.
Well, you did great as a... as a rocket test pilot. I crashed.
Not before you broke Mach 3 first. Among other things.
Come on. It's easy. It's like... It's like ridin' a bike.
Yeah. Only, when you fall off of a plane, you crash and burn.
Uh, it's called "buying the farm."
Well, whatever it's called, you're dead.
Okay, okay. So my analogy isn't perfect. It stinks.
You're, uh, flying, uh, Grant CutterJr,
who's the heir to a huge pet...
"Rol-rolem"...
Oh... petroleum company, and his new bride. Isn't that nice? To Bermuda.
I know that. Yes, it's nice. Yeah. Only you never get there.
We crash? No. Calm down.
We crash? No. You don't crash. You turn around,
and you go back to Norwich, Virginia, which is where you took off from.
Why? W-We have some kind of engine trouble or somethin'. Is that it?
Well, I would imagine there's some kind of a problem, mechanical, or else why... why would you go back?
Ex-Except... Except... Except what?
Well, uh, it's only an hour to Bermuda, and it's four hours back to Norwich, Virginia,
so why, you know... if you got a problem... go all the way back?
Why... don't we ask Ziggy? Huh?
Ziggy. Oh! Ask... Ask Ziggy.
Well, okay. I'll ask Ziggy, but I'm having a lot of problems with it today.
What? What's wrong with it? Uh, Ziggy says... I don't know.
You got a sick pass... Huh?
"Enger."
Passenger. Michelle. Yeah. She's got a stomachache. I know that.
Oh, no, no. She's got... Oh. She's got acute... Huh? Huh?
Appen..."appen-dicki-tis"? "Appen-dicki-tis."
"- Appen-dicki-tis"? - "Appen-dicki-tis."
Appendicitis! Appendicitis? What's cute about that?
Al, Al, would you...
If we're only an hour away from Bermuda, why don't we just go there, to the nearest hospital?
Well, that's probably what you're here to do. Well, l...
Al, we're turning.
Yeah. Well, we're probably turning to go back to Norwich.
Why are we turning?
Our compass is out; our gyro's tumbled.
And I can't reach Bermuda on the bird dog. We don't have a choice.
Flyin' west, we can't miss the mainland, but flyin' east, we sure as hell can miss Bermuda.
The compass seems to be settling down.
That's because we're flyin' back out of it. Out of what?
The Bermuda Triangle.
We're flying in the Bermuda Triangle?
Ooh, not for long. We're flyin' due west, so we should be out of it soon.
Then we'll get our compass and radio back and be able to set course for Norwich.
If the wind hasn't changed, we should set down in, uh, three and a half hours.
Yeah, but we're just an hour from Bermuda. We can't find Bermuda.
You gotta be able to see hundreds of miles... at this altitude.
I mean, I would think if we just turned around and headed back east, we'd... we're bound to spot Bermuda.
It's gotta be right there with... We'd see it. We don't know how far the autopilot's taken us off course.
Now Bermuda could be over the horizon, north of us.
I got a feeling that... the autopilot wasn't that far off.
Eddie, you haven't been flyin' long enough to have gut feelings.
Now what is the rush to get to Bermuda? Now we'll... we'll return to Norwich.
We'll get the autopilot fixed and takeJunior and his bride to Bermuda tomorrow.
She may not have a tomorrow. What do you mean?
She's got stomach pains. I think it's appendicitis. Oh, damn.
That's why we gotta get her to the nearest hospital, and that's in Bermuda.
Well, not if we can't find it.
Look. Go back. Check on her again. Uh,
tellJunior we're returnin' to Norwich due to, uh, mechanical problems.
Look, Coop. I don't think... Look. That's an order, kid.
Al, Al, what's wrong?
What are you doing? This thing has gone blooey on me.
I can't get anything on it.
It's because we're in the... Bermuda Triangle.
It's because the hand-link always goes blooey.
Not this blooey.
You're not gonna tell me that you believe all the myths, are you?
Sam, a lot of freaky things have happened out here.
There are ships that disappear, planes vanish,
even on clear days... like this one.
Disasters at sea are not that uncommon, even on clear days like this one.
There's theories that say...
that it's either electromagnetic vortices, or else it's...
Or sea monsters.
How did you know? Right. I remember.
Giant prehistoric lizard fish have been seen by sailors...
In the Ber... What's so funny? What are you laughin' about?
I'm just joking, okay? This is no joke, Sam.
If I wasn't a hologram, I wouldn't be caught dead out here.
Oh. It's back.
And we've flown... out of the Triangle.
How do you explain that?
Could be that U.F.O. That's been circling us. Oh, you... What U.F. O?
You... What U.F. O? Where's the... I don't see a U. F...
Oh, boy. The Triangle swallowed him up. Sam...
Sam, where the hell did he go? Al...
- S... - Oh, no. Come on.
That's not funny, Sam. Oh, Al, what's wrong with you? Now come on.
God! Give me a heart attack.
Now that Ziggy is back, could you at least tell me what happened to Michelle? Can't believe you.
Uh, well, back when this happened originally... Yeah? What?
Oh. What?
Her... Her appendix burst, and she died.
She died on board? Yeah, an hour before they landed in Norwich.
She must have gone hypotensive. Hyp... Yeah, uh, h-hypotensive.
Al, we gotta get her to Bermuda... to the hospital there. How you gonna find it?
Well, I can't, but you can. Have Ziggy get us a heading.
Eddie, you better take a look at this kid.
She's startin' to scare me.
I thought she'd feel better after she threw up and we got her a change of clothes, but...
She's really hurting. Hey.
Can I take a look? I'm a married woman.
That's okay, honey. Eddie's a married man. L...
- Yeah. L... See, I am, so... - Okay. See.
Ooh. Look. Um, you tell me if you feel any pain, okay, and where it is?
No! I can't... Yeah, there's a little swelling right there.
- Mm-hmm. - Okay, I'm gonna check the medical kit and see if I can find something to relieve the pain.
- She gonna be all right? - Yeah, she's gonna be fine.
It's just a little upset stomach.
- Well, actually, it's a little... upset appendix. - Appendix?
- Yeah. - You sure?
Eddie went to med school for a year before becoming a pilot.
- Yeah, well, that doesn't make him a doctor. - Yeah, well, maybe not, but I've... seen these symptoms before.
Got a fever, swelling, tenderness. Odds are it's her appendix.
- Well, what should we do? - Get her to a hospital.
Mmm, it's all my fault. I'm sorry. No. It's not.
Yes, it is. I knew there was pain before we boarded, and I just thought it would go away.
I didn't want to ruin our honeymoon. I'm sorry. You're not ruining anything.
- And I bought this nice lace negligee. - Wear it in the hospital.
Yeah, sure. You can shake up all those stuffy British nurses.
Oh, we're not gonna go to... Uh, that... That would shake 'em up, all right, if she wore a... a negligee.
You keep her quiet, all right, Grant? And, uh, I'll send Wendy back in a second with something for the pain.
- Thank you, Mr. Brackett. - Eddie. Call me Eddie.
L...
How am I gonna keep you quiet? Mmm.
We're flying back to Norwich.
She's not gonna make it back to Norwich. Excuse me. She's that bad?
Yeah. She's that bad. What are you looking for?
Uh, we have a medical kit or something like that? Here.
There's gotta be some aspirin in here or something. Here.
Okay. Give her three aspirin... uh, that should help with the pain... and a hot water bottle, okay?
There's not one on board. Well...
All right. Heat up some towels in the microwave.
Microwave? Take some towels, put 'em in hot water, and use 'em on her, okay?
Okay. I'll go talk to Cooper.
They're back.
Who's back?
Compass and gyro.
I told you.
Then we can fly to Bermuda, right? Don't start, Eddie.
You know what, Sam? This guy has got the right stuff.
You just have to convince him that the girl is gonna die unless he gets to Bermuda.
Look. Michelle's appendix is gonna rupture, and when it does, she'll die.
You know, the docs took my appendix out when I was 16.
Turned out all I really had was a gastritis attack.
But since they had me open, they took it out anyway.
Now what if... what if all Michelle is sufferin' from is gastritis? This is not gastritis.
This is an attack of acute appendicitis.
I'm not gonna risk her life and everyone else's on your medical judgment, Eddie.
Oh, Sam, I've got our location. We're a hundred and thirty-seven miles southwest of Bermuda.
And you just take a heading of 077... It'll take us right into Hamilton Harbor.
Look, Cooper, l... I've been doing a little figuring, and I think I know where we are.
If we take a heading of 0...
- 77. - 77, that heading will run us smack dab right into Bermuda.
You've been doin' some figuring. Yeah.
Well, I've been flyin' for 20 years, and I don't know where the hell we are.
Uh, Sam, Sam, I need to talk to you in the galley right now.
Lieutenant, my compass is spinnin'faster than a West Texas twister.
Uh, this is Shark Two. Roger that, and my gyro's tumbled.
Shark Three. Roger that.
Stay cool, Sharks. I know this pond like my bathtub.
Skipper, I got a Liberty ship at my 10:00, steamin'northeast.
She'll bring the U-boat up.
Watch for a periscope wake east or west ofher.
In 1944, Cooper located and sunk seven U-boats in the Bermuda Triangle.
This guy has spent more time in the Triangle than half the ships that disappeared.
Well, then why is he so reluctant to fly back into it?
Well, maybe because he respects it, or he knows how lethal...
It can... it can be.
Uh-oh. Uh-oh?
Uh-oh. In November of that year, Cooper and the three aircraft he was leading...
disappeared without a trace.
Disappeared without... Al, the guy's right here. He's flyin' the plane.
Yeah, yeah. Well, eight days later, he was picked up,
still wearing his Mae West, by a passing tanker.
It was a miracle. But no one knows what happened to the rest of his flight... not even him.
He couldn't remember anything that happened that day.
Shark One. You see the squall line movin'in from the south?
You'll never spot that U-boat watchin'squall lines, Boyle.
It, uh, just really looks weird, Skipper.
Skipper, Shark Three. My instruments are bouncin;!
Engine temp, R.P.M. 's, cylinder head... they're all swingin'from peg to peg!
Cooper?
Cooper, you okay?
Fine. Just tunin' in Norwich on the bird dog.
Uh, tell him to tune in Bermuda.
Try Bermuda.
Got it loud and clear.
I was right about the heading, wasn't I?
Yeah, you were right, kid.
I'm right about Michelle too.
I know this pond, Eddie. Today is not the day to push into it.
If we don't, Michelle is gonna die.
You really believe that, don't you? Stake my life on it.
No. You're stakin' all our lives on it.
Aw, what the hell.
You know, Sam, flying like this is like writing with a quill pen...
when you could be using a... a computer.
We're crabbin'. Got a bit of wind out of the northeast.
Yeah. Eleven point six knots. About, uh, 10, 12 knots.
Hey, he's good.
Uh, look. No tellin' what's gonna happen when we reenter the Triangle. Uh,
better have a look at this appendicitis of yours now.
You take her. Take her?
- The plane, Sam. He wants you to fly the plane. - M-Me?
No, the gremlin behind you.
- Oh, no. W-Wait a second. L-l-l... I gotta go to the john. - Head.
Head. Hold on until I check Michelle. She's all yours.
Gently, Sam. Gently... as though you're holding a woman.
- "Like a woman." Why did I know you were going to say, "like a woman"? - Well...
What? Huh?
The controls... you gotta handle 'em gently, like a woman.
- When's that baby of yours due, kid? - Baby?
- Baby? Baby? Um, uh... - A month.
A month.
You hang in there.
- I'm gonna have a baby. - No, Sam. You're not gonna have a baby.
Your wife, Carol, is gonna have a baby, and your left wing is drooping.
Pick it up. Pick it up. Pick it up.
Ohhh! Aaah! Don't overdo it!
What's going on? Uh, just takin' a new heading.
I wish he would make up his mind.
He just did.
Thank God for autopilots, but this is weird, Al.
Weird? Yeah. This is...
When you were flapping your wings up and down before we went on automatic pilot, that was weird.
Now, you better, uh, vector around this thunderstorm that's comin' up off your nose.
Vector?
Just turn that knob.
No, not that one. That one. That one. Turn it to the left.
That's enough.
Okay. Good.
I can fly.
You can dial. Wait till we reenter the Triangle, and the automatic pilot goes on the fritz.
Then we'll see if you can fly.
She's feeling a little better.
That right, Mrs. Cutter? I'm tryin'.
I can see that. Well, we'll be landin' in Bermuda in just over an hour. Eddie said that a long time ago.
Well, we had to detour around some thunder bumpers, but we got clear sailing now.
We're goin'back to Bermuda, right?
So that means that Michelle is gonna make it. Well, the odds have picked up a little bit but it's still not a sure thing.
Yeah.
Oh, look, Sam. There's a ship.
Huh? It's a ship. That's a Liberty ship.
That's a Liberty ship, Sam. A Liberty ship?
Yeah. Geez, even in the '50s, there weren't very many of those left.
You know, they were manufactured during the war, and they were made out of concrete.
How do you build a ship out of concrete?
The airlines almost never hire pilots that talk to themselves. Oh.
Uh-oh... Uh...
Excuse me.
What about concrete?
Uh... Oh, I was just, uh... Just that old freighter...
- Liberty ship. - Uh, Liberty ship down there.
Where?
Where? It's right...
It's right...
- It was just there a s-second ago. - Uh-oh.
Hey, what are we doin' on automatic pilot? You know it's malfunctioning.
Look at this: We're 15 degrees off course.
No, no, Sam. We vectored south, uh, to get away from that thunder bumper.
We just vectored to get around that thunder bumper up there.
- Yeah. You keep flyin' with black boxes, kid, you're gonna end up in one. - Yes, sir.
- She's feelin' better. - She is?
Yeah, the pain's eased up considerably in the last couple of minutes. That aspirin you gave her must have taken effect.
I guess.
Where are you goin'? Uh, to the john.
- Head. - Head.
Eddie... Uh-huh.
You sure it was a Liberty ship?
- Positive. - Yeah.
- Which way was it headin'? - Northeast. - Northeast.
Skipper, I got a Liberty ship at my 10:00, steamin'northeast.
She'll bring the U-boat up.
Now watch for a periscope wake east or west ofher.
Skipper, my panel is goin'nuts. Everything is spinning.
Ignore the panel. Fly by the seat of your pants.
We're ba-a-ack.
I guess it was the crab crackers after all. Yeah, she's feeling much better.
Is that right? Yes. The pain's almost gone. It's just sort of a dull ache. Whew.
Yeah, well, the swelling's gone now. She'll be fine now.
- Just feeling a little dizzy. - Who wouldn't be, after what you've been through?
- Still beating? - Yeah. Yeah, still beating.
I want you to lay here and get some rest. Get her a blanket, will you?
- Blanket? I mean, it's hot as hell in here. - Oh, I am cold.
There you go. There. Scoot down a little bit.
Okay. All right. Great. Thanks. And get her some water to drink.
- Get me a scotch too? - Maybe you should concentrate on making your wife comfortable, okay?
Yeah, sure.
Thanks. All right.
Here.
If you're looking for the aspirin, I've got it. No. I'm looking for an angiocatheter.
A what? An angio... No. Not in '56.
I thought you said she was getting better.
Her appendix has burst. Oh, God.
Yeah. That's why the pain has gone. She's goin' into shock now.
Her blood pressure's dropping, and I've got to get a saline I.V. Into her,
and there's no saline solution, and there's no damn I.V.
Did you boil that water?
Yeah, for tea, but it's cold. I can heat it up. No, no, no. Wait a second. Wait a second.
Get me some salt, okay? And put another pot of water on to boil.
We'll use the boiling water to sterilize this syringe...
and whatever else we can find to improvise as an I.V.
I need tubing and a funnel of some kind.
I've got something.
Sam, what are you doin'? You don't have time to be fixin'dinner.
We're in the middle of the Triangle. Al, Michelle's appendix burst.
Oh, no. Yeah. She's goin' into shock now. That's how she died, Al.
But if I can get this saline solution into her, it'll elevate her blood pressure until we reach Bermuda.
- Will this work? - Oh, boy.
She's been out for 10 minutes.
She should be comin' around. Her pulse is getting stronger.
Yeah. Here she is.
- What happened? - You passed out.
- Where's Grant? - Right here, honey.
- Oh, um, uh, sorry about that, but it saved your life.
I'll get you a glass of water, all right? No, no. You just hold this.
What's up? What's up.
You losin' contact again? What's up.
Of course I'm losing contact again. We're in the middle of the stupid Bermuda Triangle.
You ask me if I'm... if I'm losing contact again. Wait a minute. Wait, wait, wait.
What? Ah! I got something.
We changed history. Michelle doesn't die.
Huh? No. I don't know. I don't know.
But now... What? What?
The plane and everyone in it... disappears.
Dis...
Skipper, we can't hold this heading. It's takin'us right into the squall line!
My gyro's tumbled. No compass!
Hey, I'll get you through. I'll get you through.
Al, how can we just disappear without a trace?
Because we're right, smack dab in the middle of the Triangle.
- Whole ships disappear... - Planes, boats, jets, fish, birds...
Al... What? What? What?
- You're disappearing. - I'm not...
Sam, I'm not... I'm not disappearing,
but you are.
You got that water ready?
What? The water.
Oh. Yeah. Um, sorry.
Coop said it'd be clear sailing. Yeah. Well, um, just a little weather, but, uh, everything's gonna be fine.
Is Michelle gonna die? Because, I mean, I heard that...
when your appendix burst, you die.
Not with proper treatment, which is what she's gonna get in Bermuda.
L-I'll never forget you for this, Eddie,
and I'll make sure my dad doesn't either.
You'll always have a job with us.
Just what I need: A lifetime job flying in the Bermuda Triangle.
Torpedo wake off the freighter's starboard bow.
- Coop? - Oh, my God. She took it amidships.
We got a U-boat at 1:00. Huh?
He's runnin' for the squall line.
Follow me!
Coop, wait a second. Wha...
Wh-What's goin'on?
Coop, what are you doing? He's submerging. Stay with me.
There's no U-boat down there. The war's over.
Release on my count. Release on my count. Coop!
- Five, four... - Coop!
Three, two... Coop!
One! Bombs away! Bombs away!
We got him. We got him. Let's go home, Shark Flight. Let's go home.
You got Bermuda on the bird dog?
Eddie!
Wha... Uh, no.
I'll, uh...
I'll try and tune her in.
What happened? We hit a squall line. We'll punch out in a few minutes.
- A squall line? Coop, we damn near dived into the ocean. - What are you talkin' about?
- You dove on a U-boat. - I did what?
You were back in the war reliving your last mission.
That's real funny, Eddie. Why don't you just get on the bird dog and see if we can tune in Bermuda before we run out of fuel?
"U-boat, 1:00, runnin' for the squall line. Follow me." Oh, my God.
I never said that. Yes, you did,
in your sleep.
You were reliving your last mission, weren't you?
He doesn't remember that mission. The doctor said it was too traumatic. He blocked it all out.
He's unblocked it now. He remembers.
I don't. I don't. You don't want to, but you do.
No! No. What happened, Coop?
What happened that made Shark Flight disappear?
I lost them.
- I told them I'd get 'em home, and I lost 'em. - Oh, God.
I killed them. But they're out there. I've seen 'em. They're beckoning me:
Chuck, Deeter, Max.
They want me to join 'em. That's why all this is happening: The... the instruments,
the... the squall line, the Liberty ship,
the music.
I thought it was Radio Bermuda and tried to home in on it.
What happened next? A lightning strike!
Lightning? It set my engines on fire.
Hit the fire bottle!
It's too late!
- You've got to put it out! - Coop!
Pull! Get her up, Eddie.
Help me, Coop! I can't do it alone. You gotta help me!
- They're out there waiting for me! - Are they waitin' for all of us?
Are they waiting for Wendy? Is it her turn to die?
Come on, sweetheart. Help us!
I don't want you to die, but I killed them!
No! You didn't kill them. The storm did, not you, Coop!
The storm! You got hit by lightning. You crashed. It wasn't your fault!
Come on, sweetheart. Please!
I got you. I got you.
Help me, Coop! I can't do it alone. You've gotta help me.
Yes! That's it, Coop. You can do it.
Yes!
That's it, Coop. You're doin'it.
Look, I can't climb on one engine! We gotta lose weight.
You got it?
Okay. Go! Go!
Come on, baby. Just a few more feet.
What's happening? We lost an engine. I need your help.
Stay with her.
What are we gonna do? We gotta lighten the plane as much as possible.
Come on, baby.
We just bought all this for our honeymoon.
Which would you rather have in the ocean... you or your luggage? Oh...
Get it out the window!
Come on, baby. Just a few more feet.
- We need more. - What? Everything else is bolted down.
- Then we'll unbolt it. - Come on, baby.
Come on.
Come on. Come on.
Lift.
Come on, baby. Just a few more feet.
Attagirl. Come on.
Come on.
That-a-girl. Come on.
We threw out everything that wasn't tied down.
Yeah, and a few things that were.
Well, it bought us 300 feet. We're livin'.
Look!
Is that Bermuda? What the hell else could it be in the middle of the Atlantic?
I guess it wasn't our day to die.
Coop is radioing for an ambulance.
I'm sorry I caused so much trouble.
I know you're Mrs. Grant CutterJr, but I didn't know you could cause a storm.
A doctor and an ambulance are on the way. Will you need assistance docking? Over.
Assistance would be appreciated. Five-five-niner out.
I don't figure this.
I mean, your radio's workin' now.
The instruments are all working.
Everything is back to normal. Well, I guess we're out of the Triangle.
Technically, he's right, Sam.
- See, Bermuda is on the northernmost point of the Triangle. - Where have you been?
What?
I was just thinking, you know, that's what the Custom guys are gonna say to us when they see us.
"Where have you been, you guys?" Caught in the Bermuda Triangle.
Yeah, uh, that's why you and I disappeared, Sam.
Although Ziggy says there was a power failure, and that's why we lost connec... but, l...
It was the damn Triangle that did it.
You really believe in the Bermuda Triangle, don't you?
- Yes. - I don't know.
I swear my boys were out there flyin'just off our wing.
And could that've all have been my imagination?
- No. - Yes.
I mean, the instruments, the Liberty ship and everything happening again?
Coincidence or scientifically explainable.
Aw, Sam. Look. It's obvious that...
there's some sort of an electromagnetic force operating in this area,
but that doesn't make it supernatural.
I mean, isn't the North Pole an electromagnetic disturbance?
- But we don't say that it's caused by ghosts. - What about the Liberty ship?
In 1956, there had to be a few Liberty ships still in use, right?
And the music... was the music the exact same music that you heard on your first mission?
Maybe not. L...
- What side are you on? - And the lightning. I mean, we're flyin' a plane in a thunderstorm.
Planes get hit by lightning all the time. Sam, I don't believe you.
And most importantly, everything didn't happen again.
You didn't crash, and you weren't in the ocean for eight days in a Mae West.
Although, uh, I wasn't in the water those eight days in '44.
I was picked up by the U.S. S. Cyclops the day I went in.
Seven days later, she was torpedoed. Went down with everyone but me.
A freighter, the Michael Z., picked me up the next day.
Now twice, in eight days, I was the only survivor.
Well, that is quite... a coincidence.
Yeah. I guess so.
Uh, Sam, the U.S. S. Cyclops...
disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle in 1918...
26 years before Cooper was picked up.
Hey! Hey, wait a minute! What about the First Amendment?
Yeah! "Congress shall make no act...
"respecting an establishment of religion...
And prohibiting the free exercise thereof'!
Hey! That doesn't include animal sacrifices and you know it!
That's... Hey! Tell him!
Oh, come on. You know what I'm talking about! No. Tell him!
You push me, pal. You push me...
Hey, hey, hey. All right. J-Just leave it, all right?
- Ohhh, boy. - We got lawyers!
- We've got lawyers and we're gonna sue! - Freedom!
Freedom! We do as we please! Fight for freedom!
