jaffa, we must go. we have stayed too long. there are many on this island who would betray you.
check the street, then bring up the cars.
the plane cannot wait any longer. we must go, please. jaffa bids a final farewell to his daughter and then turns, nodding quickly to ali.
go.
my name is 'al iqab.' in a few hours we will return to london, refuel and then travel to the middle east. you are to remain in your seats and do as you are told. anyone disobeying my orders will be shot.
this is al iqab. in fifteen minutes a clear message of my convictions will be delivered to the satanic american president.
you have witnessed the conviction of al iqab. my instructions will be given once; no theater, no negotiation. jaffa will be taken to gatwick airport, a long-range private jet provided. with jaffa's release, flight 343 will divert to washington, d.c. where half the prisoners will be exchanged for fuel and fifteen million in gold bullion. jaffa must be airborne by three p.m., g.m.t., or a second, more convincing message will be delivered. all communication will cease after this message.
you will bring food for my men. now. nancy, frozen with panic, closes her eyes, unable to move or speak. ali leans in closer.
no food, only drink. and, they may use the rear bathrooms, accompanied by a guard. any suspicious movement, they will be shot. see, i am a generous man. you are free to move about the cabin. but, no more mistakes. understood?
ahmed. order the pilot to climb out of this turbulence, immediately.
why are we not climbing! he listens, his face incensed at what he hears. he slams down the phone, moving towards the front, passengers reacting with new alarm to the heavy buffeting the plane is receiving at times.
climb. turn the radar on.
climb. now. turn on the radar. the flight engineer switches on the radar. ali's lieu- tenant is obviously enraged at this infringement of their plans.
i rejoice in your freedom. allah has blessed us. a great destiny awaits us both.
in a few hours, you will see how truly glorious my victory will be.
traitor!
 why we are being threatened? our terms are absolute. the release of jaffa for half the hostages. no compromises. no tricks.
you will insist nothing! tell your president he will comply or suffer the blood of many americans on this plane. beginning now. the president looks to the major-general.
talk to your president. beg him for your life. tell him who you are. speak!
this plane is to continue on as planned or i will kill another passenger every minute.
