876

Yeah, he is.

Well, he is.

rule on the cause.

blood, hair and skin samples

888

from the entire flight crew for
the purposes of a toxicology report.

889
00:50:19,185 --> 00:50:21,688
Okay. When do they want to do that?

890
00:50:22,550 --> 00:50:24,691
They've already done that.
In the hospital.

Sure.

Yes, sir. Coming up.
Thank you, sweetie.

902
00:50:50,684 --> 00:50:53,987
Now, an initial report shows that

903
00:50:54,387 --> 00:50:56,623
you had alcohol in your system

904
00:50:57,390 --> 00:50:59,492
at a level of .24.

907

with anything above .08.

908
00:51:08,668 --> 00:51:11,171
And by driving, I mean a car.
Mmm.

910
00:51:13,173 --> 00:51:16,676
Uh... So... That doesn't mean anything.

911
00:51:17,100 --> 00:51:18,545
I had a couple of beers
the night before the flight.

912
00:51:18,611 --> 00:51:20,347
That made the tail of the plane explode?

913
00:51:20,413 --> 00:51:22,649
A couple of beers?
Yeah, a couple of beers.

914

CHARLIE: Hugh is your lawyer.
I need a bigger lawyer.

916
00:51:26,190 --> 00:51:28,855
I need a lawyer that understands
that someone put me in a broken plane.

917
00:51:28,922 --> 00:51:31,858
Without me up there, there would have
been 102 funerals, not six.

918
00:51:31,925 --> 00:51:33,560
We're not talking
about funerals right now, Captain.

919
00:51:33,626 --> 00:51:34,761
Well, then what are we talking about?

920
00:51:34,861 --> 00:51:36,663
We're talking about prison time.

921
00:51:36,730 --> 00:51:38,331
What?
Lawsuits.

922
00:51:38,765 --> 00:51:41,340
Somebody has to pay.
What, write a check?

923
00:51:41,101 --> 00:51:42,836
It's not gonna be me, I promise you that.

924
00:51:42,936 --> 00:51:45,739
As long as they're writing checks,
tell them to write one for me, too.

925
00:51:45,805 --> 00:51:47,607
Because someone put me
in a broken plane.

926

I'd love a check, Charlie.

927

states that you were drunk

and high on cocaine.

929

up to 12 years in prison.

And if it is proven that your intoxication

931
00:51:59,986 --> 00:52:01,855
was the cause of the death
of the four passengers,

932
00:52:01,921 --> 00:52:04,724
now we're gonna look at
four counts of manslaughter.

933
00:52:05,125 --> 00:52:07,127
That could be life in prison.

do my job on your behalf

935
00:52:11,998 --> 00:52:13,900

01:00:45,110 --> 01:00:46,112
Who are they?

1048
01:00:46,346 --> 01:00:49,215
HUGH: The John the Baptist
Pentecostal Mission.

1049
01:00:49,349 --> 01:00:51,418
They helped pull survivors
out of the wreckage.

1050
01:00:51,518 --> 01:00:53,119
Now, they come out here every day.

1051
01:01:02,362 --> 01:01:04,731
And that is Ellen Block.

1052
01:01:06,320 --> 01:01:08,301
She's the head
of the NTSB investigation.

1053
01:01:08,368 --> 01:01:11,471
She's the one that's gonna be asking
you the tough questions.

1054
01:01:11,538 --> 01:01:13,139
I drank the night before the flight.

1055
01:01:13,206 --> 01:01:14,407
I drank that morning, too.

1056
01:01:14,474 --> 01:01:17,770
I used cocaine to help
straighten myself out.

1057
01:01:17,544 --> 01:01:19,846
I know. It's in the toxicology report.

1058
01:01:19,946 --> 01:01:22,682
But that is
not the reason why this happened.

1059
01:01:23,383 --> 01:01:24,884
No, it's not.

1060
01:01:26,386 --> 01:01:27,487
Listen.

1061
01:01:28,388 --> 01:01:30,824
Clearly, there was a mechanical issue
with the plane.

1062
01:01:30,890 --> 01:01:31,891
(SNICKERS) Yeah, clearly.

1063
01:01:31,958 --> 01:01:36,196
Yeah, but what you and I know,
this was an act of God.

1064
01:01:37,731 --> 01:01:40,967
And I'm going to fight to get
the NTSB to add "Act of God"

1065
01:01:41,340 --> 01:01:42,902
as one of the probable causes.

1066
01:01:43,803 --> 01:01:45,772
Whose god would do this?

1067
01:01:53,713 --> 01:01:54,814
Okay.

1068
01:01:55,482 --> 01:01:56,649
So,

1069
01:01:57,851 --> 01:01:59,850
here's the deal.

1070
01:01:59,185 --> 01:02:03,356
Avington Carr, he's the owner
of the airline, he's on our side.

1071
01:02:03,423 --> 01:02:05,558
He's got big friends in Washington, too.

1072
01:02:05,925 --> 01:02:09,129
He wants to have a sit-down with us
tomorrow morning at 10:00.

1073
01:02:09,763 --> 01:02:11,131
Good.
Yeah.

1074
01:02:12,980 --> 01:02:14,467
You can't drink, Captain.

1075
01:02:15,835 --> 01:02:17,404
You're under the microscope right now.

1076
01:02:17,504 --> 01:02:19,406
You can't be seen buying liquor.

1077
01:02:19,506 --> 01:02:22,800
That means no bars, no drugs...

1078
01:02:22,750 --> 01:02:24,611
I understand.
I won't drink, I promise you.

1079
01:02:25,110 --> 01:02:26,746
Look, we can get you help...
I don't need help.

1080
01:02:26,846 --> 01:02:30,684
I won't drink, I promise you.
I can stop. On my own.

1081
01:02:32,252 --> 01:02:34,200
Okay.
Okay.

1082
01:02:38,240 --> 01:02:40,360
Till 10:00.
10:00, I got it.

1083
01:02:40,527 --> 01:02:42,280
Avington Carr.

1084
01:02:42,529 --> 01:02:44,998
I never wanted that ****ing airline.

1085
01:02:45,650 --> 01:02:48,268
Neither did my brother.
It was my father that wanted it.

1086
01:02:48,401 --> 01:02:50,937
I like baseball.
Oh, I like baseball.

1087
01:02:51,710 --> 01:02:52,605
Everybody in Georgia likes baseball.

1088
01:02:52,706 --> 01:02:54,107
The whole country likes baseball.

1089
01:02:54,207 --> 01:02:55,408
Cut the crap.

1090
01:02:56,543 --> 01:02:59,245
So, what's the deal, Lenny?

1091
01:02:59,379 --> 01:03:01,715
Is your union going to survive this one?

1092
01:03:01,881 --> 01:03:05,850
More importantly, how big a check
you think I'm gonna have to write?

1093
01:03:05,251 --> 01:03:07,554
Oh, you had six fatalities
on board your aircraft.

1094
01:03:07,620 --> 01:03:08,955
No, no, it's four, Lenny.

1095
01:03:09,550 --> 01:03:11,257
Uh, the two crew members don't count.

1096
01:03:12,459 --> 01:03:14,794
(CHUCKLES) I don't mean
they don't count.

1097
01:03:14,894 --> 01:03:16,996
They don't get settlements
like the passengers.

1098
01:03:17,970 --> 01:03:20,467
Okay, that's a workman's comp claim,
part of the union contract.

1099
01:03:20,567 --> 01:03:23,690
They do a dangerous job. They know it.

1100
01:03:23,937 --> 01:03:26,172
You the lawyer for the pilots' union?

1101
01:03:26,272 --> 01:03:28,141
No, sir, this is Hugh Lang,

1102
01:03:28,241 --> 01:03:29,476
he's the attorney we brought on

1103
01:03:29,576 --> 01:03:32,278
to handle the criminal side
of Captain Whitaker's situation.

1104
01:03:33,913 --> 01:03:37,830
Yes, and what is
Mr. Whitaker's situation?

1105
01:03:37,283 --> 01:03:39,386
The NTSB is up my ***
with a flashlight.

1106
01:03:39,452 --> 01:03:41,554
We had to give them
access to everything.

1107
01:03:41,621 --> 01:03:43,656
Everybody's curious
about Captain Whitaker.

1108
01:03:43,757 --> 01:03:46,659
Well, I flew with him
in the navy and he is a great pilot.

1109
01:03:46,760 --> 01:03:47,961
Huh.

1110
01:03:49,429 --> 01:03:50,930
Is he a drunk?

1111
01:03:54,768 --> 01:03:56,200
He's a heavy drinker.

1112
01:03:56,102 --> 01:03:57,437
But maybe I should bring him in...

1113
01:03:57,504 --> 01:03:58,838
AVINGTON: In a minute.

1114
01:03:59,439 --> 01:04:02,142
All right, so let's get down to it, Lenny.

1115
01:04:02,342 --> 01:04:06,346
What does the union
plan to do about this blood test saying

1116
01:04:06,446 --> 01:04:09,182
Whitaker was high on booze and coke?

1117
01:04:09,449 --> 01:04:10,850
This guy's a real peach.

1118
01:04:10,950 --> 01:04:13,653
I'm going to kill the toxicology report.

1119
01:04:14,287 --> 01:04:17,230
The testing was done incompetently.

1120
01:04:17,123 --> 01:04:22,228
The toxicology equipment they used
was last calibrated in June of 2009.

1121
01:04:22,328 --> 01:04:24,698
It's already 18 months past code.

1122
01:04:25,231 --> 01:04:27,200
Their log, that should clearly state

1123
01:04:27,300 --> 01:04:30,470
who labeled the blood vials,
and when, is very incomplete.

1124
01:04:30,570 --> 01:04:33,340
And they used
a preservative in the blood

1125
01:04:33,406 --> 01:04:36,209
that has been known
to cause fermentation,

1126
01:04:36,476 --> 01:04:39,379
and in some cases,
register higher in an alcohol test.

1127
01:04:39,479 --> 01:04:42,349
Now, I've done all this,
I've only been here a few days,

1128
01:04:42,415 --> 01:04:45,850
so I wouldn't worry about it
too much. I can handle this.

1129
01:04:45,819 --> 01:04:47,554
(CHUCKLES) I like this guy, Lenny.

1130
01:04:47,654 --> 01:04:51,240
Makes me want to go out
and sniff a few lines and fly a jet.

1131
01:04:51,910 --> 01:04:53,893
Mr. Carr,
we're going to fight to push all the fault

1132
01:04:53,993 --> 01:04:55,962
onto the manufacturer,
Jackson Ridgefield.

1133
01:04:56,290 --> 01:05:00,660
And you think they're gonna just open
their checkbook and buy us all lunch?

1134
01:05:00,166 --> 01:05:01,835
Good ****ing luck.

1135
01:05:02,369 --> 01:05:04,371
What's my exposure, Jim?

1136
01:05:05,338 --> 01:05:07,741
Well, the awards
to the families could kill the airline.

1137
01:05:07,841 --> 01:05:08,942

1138
01:05:09,420 --> 01:05:11,144
The insurance companies
can have the god**** airline.

1139
01:05:11,211 --> 01:05:13,446
I just don't want them
to come sniffing in my other pockets.

1140
01:05:13,546 --> 01:05:15,448
LEN: Speaking for the pilots' union, sir,

1141
01:05:15,548 --> 01:05:17,751
we don't want to see
your airline go away.

1142
01:05:17,851 --> 01:05:19,919
We enjoy the contract you have with us.

1143
01:05:20,200 --> 01:05:21,688
We're gonna protect Captain Whitaker,

1144
01:05:21,788 --> 01:05:24,257
and in turn, we're gonna
protect your airline.

1145
01:05:24,357 --> 01:05:28,194
Does Whitaker know he's going to jail?

1146
01:05:28,528 --> 01:05:30,563
My clients don't go to jail, Mr. Carr.

1147
01:05:30,697 --> 01:05:33,600
Oh, he's going to jail. He belongs in jail.

1148
01:05:33,700 --> 01:05:36,269
You bet your *** he's going to jail.
The only question is,

1149
01:05:36,369 --> 01:05:38,438
is he going to die in jail?

1150
01:05:38,705 --> 01:05:40,540
You're wrong, Mr. Carr.

1151
01:05:40,874 --> 01:05:41,841

1152
01:05:41,908 --> 01:05:44,778

of manslaughter is life in prison.

01:09:18,258 --> 01:09:19,993
That okay with you?

1216
01:09:20,930 --> 01:09:22,829
More than okay.
Good.

1217
01:09:26,366 --> 01:09:29,736
I've been watching the sky
change since the sunrise.

1218
01:09:31,271 --> 01:09:32,605
Beautiful.

1219
01:09:33,773 --> 01:09:35,942
I went out there,
I took some great shots.

1220
01:09:41,281 --> 01:09:43,450
It's just so beautiful here.

1221
01:09:44,784 --> 01:09:46,386
You grow up here?

1222
01:09:46,886 --> 01:09:48,621
No. My dad did, though.

1223
01:09:51,958 --> 01:09:54,600
It's my grandfather's farm.

1224
01:09:56,963 --> 01:09:58,131
Was.

1225
01:09:59,966 --> 01:10:03,303
Dad was a pilot.
He was 332nd Airborne.

1226
01:10:03,570 --> 01:10:05,500
He was Tuskegee.

1227
01:10:05,710 --> 01:10:07,240
Built that landing strip out there.

1228
01:10:08,808 --> 01:10:11,344
Crop dusting. EPA shut him down.

1229
01:10:11,478 --> 01:10:13,313
He traded in the crop duster

1230
01:10:14,814 --> 01:10:17,484
for the old Cessna
sitting out there in the barn.

1231

(CHUCKLES)

1232
01:10:20,153 --> 01:10:22,756
Flew that **** thing all over the place.

1233
01:10:26,493 --> 01:10:27,827
He died.

1234
01:10:28,495 --> 01:10:30,163
I got a divorce and...

1235
01:10:32,832 --> 01:10:35,568
I've been trying to sell
the place ever since.

1236
01:10:37,771 --> 01:10:39,439
What about your mom?

1237
01:10:40,106 --> 01:10:41,174
Dead.

1238
01:10:44,100 --> 01:10:46,120
You? What about your dad?

1239
01:10:46,179 --> 01:10:49,182
Well, I'm pretty sure
he lives in Colorado.

1240
01:10:49,349 --> 01:10:50,450
Yeah?

1241
01:10:51,751 --> 01:10:53,253
No relationship?

1242
01:10:54,187 --> 01:10:56,220
It was my mom that raised me.

1243
01:10:56,256 --> 01:10:57,857
She was incredible.

1244
01:10:59,259 --> 01:11:02,796
She held it together for so long,
I couldn't even tell how sick she was.

1245
01:11:05,398 --> 01:11:07,634
We spent those last
seven months together

1246
01:11:07,734 --> 01:11:09,636
like we were teenagers.
(CHUCKLES)

1247
01:11:11,710 --> 01:11:14,874
We'd trade stories
about boys and whatever.

1248
01:11:18,578 --> 01:11:20,447
Ah, she loved me.

You saved my mom.

It's great to see you, Whip.

It's good to see you, too, Margaret.

I mean, all these people
who wanted to say goodbye.

1257
01:12:10,296 --> 01:12:13,633
Trina looked so beautiful in there.
Didn't you think so?

1258
01:12:14,134 --> 01:12:17,971
I mean, like she was just
going to wake up and smile.

1259
01:12:18,304 --> 01:12:21,307
I didn't go in. I... I just couldn't.

1260
01:12:23,143 --> 01:12:27,981
Trevor, find Daddy, baby.
He's over there by Mr. Benton.

1261
01:12:35,155 --> 01:12:37,624
You really should come
to the counseling group.

for us to talk to.

01:12:43,163 --> 01:12:44,397
I will.

Okay.

You know I'm in the middle of this, uh,

1270
01:13:01,681 --> 01:13:04,918
investigation. The NTSB
is investigating the crash.

1271
01:13:05,180 --> 01:13:06,753
Yeah. I'm gonna talk to them next week.

1272
01:13:06,853 --> 01:13:09,989
Yeah. Well, I'm...
(STUTTERS) I'm a little nervous

1273
01:13:10,560 --> 01:13:15,295
because I was out the night
before the crash, at dinner.

1274
01:13:15,362 --> 01:13:16,563
Yeah. With Trina.

1275
01:13:16,663 --> 01:13:18,732
Right. And I had two glasses of wine,

1276
01:13:18,832 --> 01:13:21,334
and they're probably going to ask you

1277
01:13:21,534 --> 01:13:23,236
about my condition that morning,

1278
01:13:23,336 --> 01:13:26,406
or whether you thought
I had anything to drink.

1279
01:13:30,210 --> 01:13:31,344
What?

1280
01:13:34,681 --> 01:13:36,649
I've known you 11 years, Whip.

1281
01:13:36,716 --> 01:13:37,817
Right.

1282
01:13:37,884 --> 01:13:40,860
You want to tell me that
you and Trina went to dinner

1283
01:13:40,186 --> 01:13:42,222
and you had two glasses of wine?
No.

1284
01:13:42,288 --> 01:13:44,524
Sounds like a nice restaurant.
Now, which one was it?

1285
01:13:44,591 --> 01:13:47,560
You have to say that it was
an ordinary day, Margaret.

1286
01:13:47,627 --> 01:13:48,762
I mean, it was an ordinary day.

1287
01:13:48,862 --> 01:13:51,331
You know me. I was in shape to fly.

1288
01:13:55,735 --> 01:13:57,370
You have a problem with saying that?

1289
01:13:59,572 --> 01:14:01,241
It's a lie, Whip.

1290
01:14:01,441 --> 01:14:04,944
It's a lie. Trina told me
you two hadn't been to sleep.

1291
01:14:05,450 --> 01:14:10,116
Well, my lack of sleep had nothing to do
with that plane falling apart, Margaret.

1292
01:14:10,216 --> 01:14:11,685
I'm just trying to get this thing straight.

1293
01:14:11,751 --> 01:14:14,621
Now you think any other pilot could have
landed that plane and saved more lives?

1294
01:14:14,721 --> 01:14:15,955
I didn't say that, Whip.
I can't imagine another...

1295
01:14:16,560 --> 01:14:17,570
All right, then.

1296
01:14:17,123 --> 01:14:19,859
Well, imagine your son,
Trevor, in this church,

1297
01:14:19,926 --> 01:14:21,127
looking at you in that box.

1298
01:14:21,227 --> 01:14:23,229
Or my son visiting me in prison. And...

1299
01:14:23,296 --> 01:14:26,533
Please, Whip, enough. Enough, Whip.
And for the next 40 years...

1306
01:14:52,926 --> 01:14:54,828
it was an ordinary day.

1307
01:14:57,430 --> 01:15:00,767
The storm, after we took off,

1308
01:15:01,101 --> 01:15:02,769
was very severe.

1309
01:15:04,270 --> 01:15:07,107
But as far as
the flight crew was concerned,

1310
01:15:08,375 --> 01:15:10,744
it was a perfectly ordinary day.

01:15:40,707 --> 01:15:41,975
So?

1316
01:15:42,175 --> 01:15:44,411
Well, I got through my first day.
They didn't fire me.

01:15:44,511 --> 01:15:45,745
So...
Good. Good.

1318
01:15:46,646 --> 01:15:49,416
And they need someone to work
the night shift and they asked me.

1319
01:15:49,516 --> 01:15:51,151
It's time and a half, so...

1320
01:15:51,251 --> 01:15:52,652
(BOTH CHUCKLING)

1321
01:15:53,586 --> 01:15:54,888
I got a vest.

1322
01:15:55,822 --> 01:15:57,190
And a little name tag.
Nice.

1323
01:15:57,257 --> 01:15:58,258
I got you something.

1324
01:15:58,358 --> 01:15:59,526
Yeah?
Yeah.

1325
01:16:01,928 --> 01:16:02,929
Oh...

1326
01:16:04,264 --> 01:16:05,331
It's a P-51 Mustang.

1327
01:16:05,432 --> 01:16:06,499
I know it's a P-51...

1328
01:16:06,599 --> 01:16:07,734
Your daddy fly one of those?

1329
01:16:07,767 --> 01:16:08,935
Yes, he did.

1330
01:16:09,936 --> 01:16:11,604
It's cause for celebration.

1331
01:16:11,938 --> 01:16:15,308
Oh, well, I promised Sheila that
I'd go to this AA meeting now.

1332
01:16:15,508 --> 01:16:17,777
She's my sponsor,
the one that's been helping me.

01:16:17,877 --> 01:16:19,279
Can we celebrate tomorrow night?

1334
01:16:19,779 --> 01:16:20,847
Yeah.

1335

You know, you could come with me.

1337
01:16:28,955 --> 01:16:30,390
To the meeting.

1338
01:16:30,523 --> 01:16:33,293
It's an open meeting,
meaning that anyone can come.

1339
01:16:33,793 --> 01:16:35,295
Even you.

on me behind the dumpster.

but my girlfriend's panties,

1342
01:16:41,340 --> 01:16:43,636
I got vomit all down
the front of my chest.

1343
01:16:43,870 --> 01:16:47,240
And I say to them,
"Uh, I might have had two beers."

1344
01:16:47,374 --> 01:16:49,342
(ALL LAUGHING)

1345
01:16:54,647 --> 01:16:57,517
So that's how
I got the nickname "Two Beer Barry."

1346
01:16:59,986 --> 01:17:02,622
I'm getting the stink eye
from Ed over here.

1347
01:17:02,722 --> 01:17:04,691
Have I gone off format?

1348
01:17:05,658 --> 01:17:07,827
My name is Barry and I am an alcoholic.

1349
01:17:08,161 --> 01:17:09,229
ALL: Hi, Barry.

1350
01:17:09,496 --> 01:17:12,365
Are there any other alcoholics present?

1351
01:17:17,837 --> 01:17:19,205
I always love a meeting where we

1352
01:17:19,272 --> 01:17:20,740
all have to identify at the top,

1353
01:17:20,840 --> 01:17:24,577
because it forces me
to be honest about who I really am.

1354
01:17:26,120 --> 01:17:28,581
And I never told the truth
out there, obviously.

1355
01:17:28,682 --> 01:17:30,684
I lied about everything.

1356
01:17:32,252 --> 01:17:34,287
I was taught in these rooms
that I would never get sober

1357
01:17:34,421 --> 01:17:37,257
if I kept lying,
but that's what I was best at.

1358
01:17:39,592 --> 01:17:41,661
If I knew anything
in this world it was how to lie,

1359
01:17:41,761 --> 01:17:43,730
especially about my drinking.

1360
01:17:44,300 --> 01:17:48,435
But, whatever. I would lie
about the name of my dog,

1361
01:17:48,535 --> 01:17:52,205
I'd lie about the color of my own hair
right to your face.

1362
01:17:53,606 --> 01:17:55,375
And my whole life just became

1363
01:17:56,142 --> 01:17:58,778
a series of lies strung together by me,

1364
01:17:58,878 --> 01:18:00,513
one after the other.
I'm going to go, okay?

1365
01:18:00,613 --> 01:18:02,150
Sure.
You got a ride home?

1366
01:18:02,115 --> 01:18:04,951
Uh, yeah. Sheila, she can give
me a ride. This is Sheila.

1367
01:18:05,385 --> 01:18:06,886
How you doing?
I'm Sheila.

1368
01:18:07,721 --> 01:18:09,889
BARRY: ...that my lies would kill me.

1369
01:18:10,557 --> 01:18:11,825
Left to their own devices,

1370
01:18:11,958 --> 01:18:15,610
my lies would walk me out that door.

1371
01:18:21,401 --> 01:18:24,771
MORGAN: Is it safe to say that Captain
Whitaker remains a bit of a mystery?

KEN: Those are your words, sir,
not mine.

1373

to some people

1374
01:18:28,508 --> 01:18:30,610
who are very close
to the NTSB investigation.

1375
01:18:30,810 --> 01:18:33,313
They are confident they will
soon be able to determine

1376
01:18:33,413 --> 01:18:35,648
exactly what brought this plane down.

1377
01:18:35,915 --> 01:18:37,317
I'm sure they will, sir.

01:19:12,352 --> 01:19:14,954
Excuse me. Could you give us
some privacy, please?

1387
01:19:15,689 --> 01:19:16,890
Thank you.

1388
01:19:28,802 --> 01:19:30,170
So, uh...

1389
01:19:31,304 --> 01:19:32,972
How long have you been out of...

1390
01:19:33,306 --> 01:19:34,974
Out of a coma?
Yeah.

1391
01:19:35,975 --> 01:19:37,344
Two days.

1392
01:19:39,713 --> 01:19:40,880
Good.

01:19:42,148 --> 01:19:45,819
Well, uh, look, I don't want
to disrupt your whole day.

1395
01:19:46,653 --> 01:19:51,324
And God knows you've been
swamped by interviews and...

1396
01:19:53,326 --> 01:19:55,829
You were brilliant on CNN, by the way.

1397
01:19:56,830 --> 01:20:00,700
Both my legs are crushed.
My pelvis is snapped.

1398
01:20:01,167 --> 01:20:03,236
I'll probably never walk again,

1399
01:20:03,336 --> 01:20:05,839
at least not without a walker or braces.

1400
01:20:06,673 --> 01:20:08,742
I'll certainly never fly again.

1401
01:20:10,176 --> 01:20:11,845
I'm very sorry, Ken.

1402
01:20:12,345 --> 01:20:15,849
KEN: That plane was doomed
the moment you sat in that cockpit.

1403
01:20:16,683 --> 01:20:18,852
You reeked like gin or something.

1404
01:20:20,200 --> 01:20:23,230
I called Vicky
from the plane before we took off.

1405
01:20:24,190 --> 01:20:26,590
That's when the rain kicked up.

1406
01:20:28,280 --> 01:20:32,198
Well, I don't know
how much you remember,

1407
01:20:32,699 --> 01:20:34,200
but that plane,

1408
01:20:35,350 --> 01:20:36,703
it started falling apart, Ken.

1409
01:20:37,370 --> 01:20:39,506
I remember everything until we crashed.

1410
01:20:39,606 --> 01:20:41,207
I know what went on.

1411
01:20:43,710 --> 01:20:45,378
What are we trying to say, Ken?

1412
01:20:45,612 --> 01:20:47,213
What are we talking about?

1413
01:20:47,714 --> 01:20:49,282
I don't know, Captain Whitaker.

1414
01:20:49,382 --> 01:20:50,550
What are we talking about?

1415
01:20:50,784 --> 01:20:53,753
I'm just trying to get a sense from you

1416
01:20:55,388 --> 01:20:59,590
about what you thought
caused the crash.

1417
01:21:00,600 --> 01:21:03,930
Was it the fact that you got on the plane
still drunk from the night before?

1418
01:21:06,232 --> 01:21:10,603
The NTSB is coming back tomorrow
to finish taking a deposition from me.

1419
01:21:11,404 --> 01:21:13,573
About the events on that flight.

1420
01:21:13,907 --> 01:21:17,911
Do you think you'd be alive
if I wasn't flying that plane?

1421
01:21:19,412 --> 01:21:20,413
No.

1422
01:21:20,914 --> 01:21:22,582
We'd all be dead.

1423
01:21:23,416 --> 01:21:26,820
But are you going to argue with me
that your physical state was tip-top?

1424
01:21:32,926 --> 01:21:34,940
Wait.

1425
01:21:34,928 --> 01:21:36,960
Sit.

1426
01:21:36,930 --> 01:21:38,980
Please.

1427
01:21:43,770 --> 01:21:47,700
I never shared my opinion
about your physical state

1428
01:21:47,107 --> 01:21:48,608
the morning of the flight.

1429
01:21:49,943 --> 01:21:51,611
I never said a word.

1430
01:21:52,679 --> 01:21:53,680
Okay.

1431
01:21:53,780 --> 01:21:56,149
That crash was preordained.

1432
01:21:57,617 --> 01:22:01,621
I prayed on it, Captain.
Vicky and I both prayed on it.

1433
01:22:02,288 --> 01:22:03,890
There is only one judge, sir.

1434
01:22:03,957 --> 01:22:05,392
Praise Jesus.

And he's got a higher plan for you.

1436
01:22:08,628 --> 01:22:13,133
This event,
although it's tragic in its loss of life,

1437
01:22:14,968 --> 01:22:17,637
it's also a celebration of life.

1438
01:22:18,138 --> 01:22:21,441
Nothing happens in
the Kingdom of the Lord by mistake, sir.

1441
01:22:25,211 --> 01:22:27,800
Will you pray with us?

1442
01:22:38,992 --> 01:22:42,662
Jesus, our savior, we thank you
for blessing Captain Whitaker.

1443

For guiding his hand
on that fateful morning.

1444
01:22:48,301 --> 01:22:49,402

we flew it to Jamaica.

01:30:03,670 --> 01:30:05,205
They can be tough,
but you just gotta be sharp.

1559
01:30:05,338 --> 01:30:06,373
Stay focused.

1560
01:30:06,506 --> 01:30:07,874
Answer the questions correctly.

1561
01:30:07,941 --> 01:30:09,342
That's right, but we're good.

1562
01:30:09,609 --> 01:30:11,511
All right,
I've successfully had an "Act of God"

1563
01:30:11,611 --> 01:30:13,980
added to the NTSB's
list of probable causes.

1564
01:30:14,180 --> 01:30:15,882
We've shifted suspicion away from you.

1565
01:30:16,160 --> 01:30:18,180
It's no longer a question
of your condition,

1566
01:30:18,118 --> 01:30:19,786
but the condition of the plane.

1567
01:30:20,200 --> 01:30:21,788
Fantastic. That's what I've been
trying to tell everybody.

1568
01:30:21,888 --> 01:30:24,570
This is a broken plane.

1569
01:30:24,190 --> 01:30:25,191
That's right.

1570
01:30:25,959 --> 01:30:28,862
WHIP: What about
my toxicology report?

1571
01:30:28,962 --> 01:30:30,263
HUGH: Oh, I killed that.

1572
01:30:30,363 --> 01:30:31,598
(ALL CHUCKLING)

1573
01:30:31,698 --> 01:30:34,567
There is no physical proof
that you were intoxicated on that plane,

1574
01:30:34,701 --> 01:30:35,969
and no eyewitnesses.

1575
01:30:36,202 --> 01:30:39,390
So why are we here? We're good.

1576
01:30:39,472 --> 01:30:42,142
Uh... Because there is a small problem.

1577
01:30:42,375 --> 01:30:45,712
Because of turbulence,
there was no drink service on the flight,

1578
01:30:45,979 --> 01:30:50,116
but they did find two empty
vodka bottles in the galley trash.

1579
01:30:50,216 --> 01:30:51,718
Yeah, um...

1580
01:30:52,152 --> 01:30:54,254
And there's no physical
evidence on the bottles.

1581
01:30:54,387 --> 01:30:56,790
No DNA, no fingerprints
to link them to anyone,

1582
01:30:56,890 --> 01:30:58,925
but they were uncapped and empty.

1583
01:30:59,159 --> 01:31:00,927
And the only people
who would have had access

1584
01:31:01,610 --> 01:31:04,230
to those bottles would be the flight crew.

1585
01:31:04,330 --> 01:31:07,834
Now, Margaret,
Evans and Camelia Satou,

1586
01:31:08,334 --> 01:31:12,572
they all had clean tox reports,
so that only leaves you and, uh...

1587
01:31:12,672 --> 01:31:15,241
Trina Marquez.
Right, Trina Marquez.

1588
01:31:17,510 --> 01:31:18,678
Okay.

1589
01:31:20,180 --> 01:31:22,849
Okay, I see where we're going here.

1590
01:31:23,516 --> 01:31:26,519
That's funny, though, you know,
they only found two bottles.

1591
01:31:26,853 --> 01:31:29,220
Why is that?
I drank three.

1592
01:31:30,523 --> 01:31:32,592
One's missing.
(SCOFFS)

1593
01:31:34,194 --> 01:31:36,563
You know, when I first met you,

1594
01:31:36,863 --> 01:31:39,866
I couldn't believe what a drunk,
arrogant scumbag you were.

1595
01:31:39,966 --> 01:31:40,967
Oh, really?
Yeah.

1596
01:31:41,101 --> 01:31:42,680
Oh, thank you, Hugh.

1597
01:31:42,135 --> 01:31:43,737
But I did the research,
Captain Whitaker.

1598
01:31:43,770 --> 01:31:45,638
I heard the expert analysis,

1599
01:31:45,772 --> 01:31:48,274
and I got to tell you,
I'm in awe of what you did.

1600
01:31:48,875 --> 01:31:51,544
The FAA and the NTSB took 10 pilots,

1601
01:31:51,778 --> 01:31:53,113
placed them in simulators,

1602
01:31:53,213 --> 01:31:56,616
re-created the events that led
to this plane falling out of the sky.

1603
01:31:56,883 --> 01:32:00,120
Do you know how many of them
were able to safely land the planes?

1604
01:32:00,220 --> 01:32:01,221
Not one.

1605
01:32:01,554 --> 01:32:05,191
Every pilot crashed the aircraft,
killed everybody on board.

1606
01:32:05,291 --> 01:32:07,127
You were the only one who could do it.

1607
01:32:07,293 --> 01:32:08,294
Great.

1608
01:32:09,562 --> 01:32:10,630
I'm going home.

1609
01:32:10,730 --> 01:32:12,132
Hey, wait, Whip. You can't...
Captain Whitaker,

1610
01:32:12,232 --> 01:32:13,400
I'm telling you right now,
you walk away...

1611
01:32:13,500 --> 01:32:14,834
Listen, man.
...you're going to prison.

1612

1613
01:32:16,236 --> 01:32:17,904
What ****ing life?

1614
01:32:18,238 --> 01:32:20,607
Huh? Don't kill yourself
on my account, Hugh.

1615
01:32:20,907 --> 01:32:22,809
Captain Whitaker, this NTSB hearing

1616
01:32:22,909 --> 01:32:25,145
is a federal agency hearing.
Do you understand that?

1617
01:32:25,245 --> 01:32:26,646
Yes, I understand that.

1618
01:32:26,746 --> 01:32:29,249
Okay. Well, we can't play
around with these people.

1619
01:32:29,582 --> 01:32:33,687
Now, we walk in there
like this, with this, we're done.

1620
01:32:33,753 --> 01:32:36,423
Everything we've done
goes right out the window.

1621
01:32:37,900 --> 01:32:38,858
I have no more moves, all right?

1622
01:32:38,992 --> 01:32:40,960
It's all on you right now.

01:32:44,764 --> 01:32:47,000
Okay. Charlie,
just get him to the church on time.

1624
01:32:47,100 --> 01:32:49,569
Yeah, get him to the church on time!

1625
01:32:49,669 --> 01:32:52,172
Yeah, Charlie,
just keep him nice and sober,

your ****ing union! Huh?

Will! Knuckles!

1637

We hadn't talked in a while,
and this whole thing happened.

I just thought I'd come by
and we could talk.

Yeah.

Yeah, call you. But I mean,

1642
01:34:41,481 --> 01:34:44,840
it's not like anybody
around here calls me,

1643
01:34:44,150 --> 01:34:47,320
in the last three years,
other than to ask for some money.

1644

Have you been drinking?

1645
01:34:50,323 --> 01:34:52,158
Well, that didn't take long, did it?

1646
01:34:52,392 --> 01:34:55,662
Seventeen seconds. Yeah.
Exactly 17 seconds.

I'm gonna ask you just to leave.

He'll be staying here tonight.

Thank you.
Thank you very much. I feel good.

1735
01:38:13,760 --> 01:38:16,363
Yeah. Charlie tells me
you haven't had a drink in eight days.

1736

1738
01:38:20,330 --> 01:38:21,868
Okay. Right here.

1739
01:38:23,870 --> 01:38:27,700
So, yeah, we wanted to make this
as easy as possible on you.

1740
01:38:27,730 --> 01:38:28,274
I hope this is okay.

1741
01:38:28,375 --> 01:38:30,410

1743
01:38:33,460 --> 01:38:38,284
I made a copy of the entire investigation
and my file on you.

1744
01:38:38,885 --> 01:38:40,887
I was trying to anticipate what kinds of

1745
01:38:40,954 --> 01:38:42,889
questions they might ask you
under oath,

1746
01:38:43,123 --> 01:38:45,592
and I wrote some
non-damaging responses.

1747
01:38:45,692 --> 01:38:47,660
So, it's all in there.

1748
01:38:47,727 --> 01:38:52,650
You know, with photos, interviews,
there's some testimony in there.

1749
01:38:52,399 --> 01:38:54,340
I called Ellen Block, told her you're here.

1750
01:38:54,100 --> 01:38:55,402
You're all tucked in.

1751
01:38:56,236 --> 01:38:58,710
She got the knife out for me?

1752
01:38:59,572 --> 01:39:03,243
(CHUCKLES) Well, look, she's
not happy that I killed the tox report,

1753
01:39:03,476 --> 01:39:04,778
but this isn't a trial,

1754
01:39:04,878 --> 01:39:06,746
so she's very limited
in the kinds of questions

1755
01:39:06,946 --> 01:39:07,947
she can ask you.

1756
01:39:08,810 --> 01:39:09,416
You know? You're gonna be fine.

1757
01:39:09,482 --> 01:39:13,386
Yeah, the hearing's
at 10:00, so just downstairs,

1758
01:39:13,453 --> 01:39:16,690
so we're figuring we meet here at 9:00
for breakfast in the room

1759
01:39:16,756 --> 01:39:19,592
and take it from there.
Take it from there.

1760
01:39:19,659 --> 01:39:20,660
Yeah.

1761
01:39:21,161 --> 01:39:22,996

see you in the morning.

1762
01:39:23,960 --> 01:39:25,999
Thank you. And thank you
for letting me stay in your house.

Okay. Yep.

1898
01:51:02,696 --> 01:51:04,431
Remember, if they
ask you anything about your drinking,

1899
01:51:04,497 --> 01:51:06,533
it's totally acceptable
to say, "I don't recall."

1900
01:51:06,633 --> 01:51:09,969
Hey, don't tell me
how to lie about my drinking, okay?

1901
01:51:10,303 --> 01:51:11,738
I know how to lie about my drinking.

1902
01:51:11,738 --> 01:51:13,640
I've been lying about
my drinking my whole life.

1903
01:51:15,800 --> 01:51:16,843
(PEOPLE YELLING)

1904
01:51:31,324 --> 01:51:33,193
Those are difficult images to watch.

1905
01:51:33,259 --> 01:51:36,396
For the record, I'm Ellen Block,
hearing officer for this hearing.

1906
01:51:36,496 --> 01:51:38,164
Captain Whitaker, good morning.

1907
01:51:38,331 --> 01:51:39,366
Morning.

1908
01:51:39,466 --> 01:51:40,400
(COUGHS) Morning.

1909
01:51:40,500 --> 01:51:42,469
ELLEN: What that video captures is that

1910
01:51:42,535 --> 01:51:45,400
the aircraft
was in a relatively stable glide

1911
01:51:45,710 --> 01:51:47,340
just prior to the moment of impact.

1912
01:51:47,407 --> 01:51:49,642
However, according to
the data we retrieved

1913
01:51:49,709 --> 01:51:51,578
from the cockpit data recorders,

1914
01:51:51,845 --> 01:51:56,249
at exactly 9:34,
after flying 27 minutes without incident,

1915
01:51:56,349 --> 01:51:59,185
the transponder recorded
a loss in altitude

1916
01:51:59,252 --> 01:52:02,589
in excess of 4,800 feet per minute

1917
01:52:02,856 --> 01:52:06,359
in what is considered
a "full pitch nose down" attitude.

1918
01:52:06,693 --> 01:52:11,231
Then, at 9:42,
according to the data recorders,

1919
01:52:11,431 --> 01:52:14,534
a decision was made
to invert the aircraft.

1920
01:52:14,601 --> 01:52:17,370
The NTSB has created
an animated simulation

1921
01:52:17,437 --> 01:52:19,606
that I would like to play at this point.

1922
01:52:20,273 --> 01:52:21,441
WHIP: We're going to roll it.

1923
01:52:21,708 --> 01:52:22,976
KEN: What do you mean "Roll it"?

1924
01:52:23,430 --> 01:52:24,377
WHIP: We gotta do something
to stop this dive.

1925
01:52:24,611 --> 01:52:26,279
Margaret, what's your son's name?

1926
01:52:26,546 --> 01:52:28,381
MARGARET: Trevor.
WHIP: Say, "I love you, Trevor."

1927
01:52:28,448 --> 01:52:29,449
MARGARET: What?
WHIP: Black box.

1928
01:52:29,549 --> 01:52:30,583
Say, "I love you, Trevor."

1929
01:52:30,617 --> 01:52:33,186
MARGARET: I love you, Trevor.
You be a good boy. Mommy loves you.

1930
01:52:33,253 --> 01:52:35,188
WHIP: Okay, here we go.
I've got control.

1931
01:52:36,560 --> 01:52:38,892
KEN: Oh, Lord Jesus!

1932
01:52:39,225 --> 01:52:41,610
WHIP: (GARBLED) ...?aps.
KEN: Flaps!

1933
01:52:41,394 --> 01:52:43,396
WHIP: Speed brakes.
KEN: Speed brakes!

1934
01:52:44,230 --> 01:52:46,660
WHIP: Margaret! Power!

1935
01:52:46,399 --> 01:52:47,734
Gear up.
KEN: Gear up!

1936
01:52:48,680 --> 01:52:49,736
Oh, Lord Jesus, we're inverted!

1937
01:52:49,803 --> 01:52:51,104
WHIP: We're flying. We're level.

1938
01:52:51,104 --> 01:52:52,639
We can maintain altitude like...

1939
01:52:52,906 --> 01:52:56,760
Atlanta Center... SouthJet... 7.
We are inverted.

1940
01:52:56,142 --> 01:52:57,744
I... We are inverted.

1941
01:52:58,780 --> 01:52:59,946
AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER:
SouthJet 2... 7, uh,

1942
01:53:00,130 --> 01:53:01,548
did you say inverted?

1943
01:53:02,582 --> 01:53:05,485
That audio is tragic and compelling.

1944
01:53:05,585 --> 01:53:07,921
I chose to play that part
of the cockpit recording

1945
01:53:08,154 --> 01:53:11,324
to highlight a key moment
on board flight 227,

1946
01:53:11,591 --> 01:53:14,940
wherein you say, "We're going to roll it."

1947
01:53:14,427 --> 01:53:16,596
"Here we go. I've got control."

1948
01:53:16,830 --> 01:53:20,400
You made a very conscious decision
to invert the aircraft,

1949
01:53:20,467 --> 01:53:23,269
to roll the plane upside down,
is that correct?

1950
01:53:26,439 --> 01:53:29,275
I'm not sure if it was conscious. But...

1951
01:53:30,777 --> 01:53:32,779
it was more like instinct.

1952
01:53:33,947 --> 01:53:35,949
What led to that decision?

1953
01:53:37,884 --> 01:53:38,885
(CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)

1954
01:53:40,120 --> 01:53:41,454
I don't recall.

1955
01:53:41,788 --> 01:53:43,923
Let me quote from
an investigative summary.

1956
01:53:43,990 --> 01:53:46,292
"From 9:34 until 9:42,

1957
01:53:46,359 --> 01:53:49,362
the events on the aircraft are,"
again I quote,

1958
01:53:49,462 --> 01:53:51,631
"bold and remarkable."

1959
01:53:51,965 --> 01:53:55,468
"By inverting the plane,
Captain Whitaker arrested the descent

1960
01:53:55,702 --> 01:53:58,204
and allowed the aircraft to level off,

1961
01:53:58,471 --> 01:54:02,308
enabling him to glide the aircraft
away from any populated areas

1962
01:54:02,542 --> 01:54:06,713
and allowing him to execute
a forced landing in an open field."

1963
01:54:06,846 --> 01:54:08,381
(AUDIENCE APPLAUDS)

1964
01:54:16,156 --> 01:54:18,825
I heard a loud metallic bang.

1965
01:54:19,492 --> 01:54:21,661
We pitched nose down.

1966
01:54:23,329 --> 01:54:24,664
No control.
ELLEN: Yes.

1967
01:54:24,998 --> 01:54:27,901
First Officer Evans'
testimony confirms the same.

1968
01:54:30,670 --> 01:54:32,505
I want to show you something.

1969
01:54:36,843 --> 01:54:38,845
Nothing's happening.

1970
01:54:39,512 --> 01:54:40,714
This remote isn't working.

1971
01:54:40,780 --> 01:54:43,350
Apologies. I can do this manually.

1972
01:54:54,527 --> 01:54:57,197
This is the jackscrew
on the tail assembly

1973
01:54:57,263 --> 01:55:00,367
that articulates the horizontal stabilizer,

1974
01:55:00,533 --> 01:55:02,350
also known as the elevator.

1975
01:55:02,102 --> 01:55:03,336
As you can see,

1976
01:55:03,603 --> 01:55:06,740
the threads on this screw
are almost entirely gone.

1977
01:55:07,207 --> 01:55:10,443
This part was suggested as
a maintenance replacement

1978
01:55:10,777 --> 01:55:14,514
in January of 2011.
It was never replaced.

1979
01:55:15,480 --> 01:55:17,951
It had an additional
1,200 hours of flight on it.

1980
01:55:18,510 --> 01:55:19,219
It finally failed.

1981
01:55:19,319 --> 01:55:21,855
Our investigators have concluded

1982
01:55:22,288 --> 01:55:24,124
that the jackscrew snapped

1983
01:55:24,391 --> 01:55:28,610
and the elevator was frozen
in a fixed position,

1984
01:55:28,395 --> 01:55:30,930
locking the elevator in a down position,

1985
01:55:30,997 --> 01:55:33,400
which forced the plane into a dive.

1986
01:55:33,733 --> 01:55:37,470
The loss of the elevator was,
and I quote our report,

1987
01:55:37,570 --> 01:55:41,740
"A catastrophic event
from which recovery was improbable

1988
01:55:41,141 --> 01:55:43,376
and stable flight impossible."

1989
01:55:47,247 --> 01:55:48,581
Mr. Whitaker,

1990
01:55:49,416 --> 01:55:51,384
I want to talk about the days leading

1991
01:55:51,451 --> 01:55:54,870
and the hours leading
up to the accident.

1992
01:55:54,187 --> 01:55:55,288
But before I do,

1993
01:55:55,355 --> 01:55:57,123
I want to remind you
that you are under oath

1994
01:55:57,190 --> 01:55:58,992
and that any testimony
you give here today

1995
01:55:59,920 --> 01:56:00,493
will be considered admissible

1996
01:56:00,627 --> 01:56:03,363
in any subsequent hearings
or criminal proceedings.

1997
01:56:03,596 --> 01:56:05,598
Do you understand what that means?

1998
01:56:07,634 --> 01:56:11,137
Captain Whitaker, for the record,
I need you to verbalize your answer.

1999
01:56:12,372 --> 01:56:14,741
Uh, I'm sorry. Yes, I understand.

2000
01:56:15,175 --> 01:56:17,344
On the three days
leading up to the accident,

2001
01:56:17,444 --> 01:56:19,120
Tuesday, October 11th,

2002
01:56:19,112 --> 01:56:22,615
Wednesday, October 12th
or Thursday, October 13th,

2003
01:56:22,682 --> 01:56:26,786
did you consume any alcohol
or other intoxicating elements?

2004
01:56:27,721 --> 01:56:29,890
No, I did not.

2005
01:56:29,522 --> 01:56:31,257
ELLEN: On the morning of the accident,

2006
01:56:31,491 --> 01:56:33,526
Friday, October 14th,

2007
01:56:33,626 --> 01:56:38,798
did you consume any alcohol
or ingest any chemicals or drugs

2008
01:56:38,865 --> 01:56:42,535
that may have impaired
your ability to perform your job?

2009
01:56:42,969 --> 01:56:44,637
No, I did not.

2010
01:56:45,505 --> 01:56:49,142
Mr. Whitaker, do you now
or have you ever had

2011
01:56:49,209 --> 01:56:51,444
a problem with alcohol dependency,

2012
01:56:51,511 --> 01:56:53,980
alcoholism or drug addiction?

2013
01:56:54,314 --> 01:56:55,315
No.

2014
01:56:57,650 --> 01:56:59,819
Okay, Mr. Whitaker, we're about done.

2015
01:57:06,893 --> 01:57:10,663
Due to the severe turbulence
in the early part of the flight,

2016
01:57:10,730 --> 01:57:13,660
you asked the flight crew to suspend

2017
01:57:13,166 --> 01:57:15,168
the beverage service
on the plane, is that correct?

2018
01:57:15,368 --> 01:57:16,369
Yes, that's correct.

2019
01:57:16,569 --> 01:57:19,720
I suspended
the drink service on the plane.

2020
01:57:19,172 --> 01:57:21,641
Are you aware that
our investigators found

2021
01:57:21,708 --> 01:57:25,311
two single service vodka bottles
in the galley trash bin?

2022
01:57:27,681 --> 01:57:29,150
Yes, I'm aware of that.

2023
01:57:30,350 --> 01:57:32,686
There were five crew members on board

2024
01:57:32,752 --> 01:57:35,355
that would have had access
to the beverage trolley.

2025
01:57:35,689 --> 01:57:37,590
Less than an hour after the accident,

2026
01:57:37,691 --> 01:57:39,659
blood was taken from each
of these crew members,

2027
01:57:39,726 --> 01:57:42,662
yourself, First Officer Evans,

2028
01:57:43,396 --> 01:57:45,732
Flight Attendant Margaret Thomason,

2029
01:57:46,366 --> 01:57:49,202
and posthumously from Camelia Satou

2030
01:57:49,869 --> 01:57:52,380
and Katerina Marquez.

2031
01:57:52,872 --> 01:57:56,209
Toxicology analysis was performed and

2032
01:57:56,710 --> 01:57:59,212
three of these tests came back negative,

2033
01:57:59,279 --> 01:58:02,215
one was disqualified
for technical reasons,

2034
01:58:02,282 --> 01:58:04,951
and one tested positive for alcohol.

2035
01:58:05,510 --> 01:58:08,540
It registered a .17 blood alcohol level.

2036
01:58:08,388 --> 01:58:10,560
Are you aware of that?

2037
01:58:10,724 --> 01:58:12,892
Yeah, I'm aware of it now.

2038
01:58:15,628 --> 01:58:16,863
Mmm-hmm.

2039
01:58:19,632 --> 01:58:22,302
Miss Marquez was not only a colleague,

2040
01:58:22,402 --> 01:58:25,271
but you knew her outside of work,
is that correct?

2041
01:58:26,639 --> 01:58:28,308
Outside of work?

2042
01:58:29,142 --> 01:58:30,143
No, not really.

2043
01:58:30,643 --> 01:58:33,246
Did you know Miss Marquez
had a drinking problem?

2044
01:58:34,414 --> 01:58:35,482
No, I did not.

2045
01:58:35,915 --> 01:58:37,650
Did you ever see her drink to excess?

2046
01:58:40,653 --> 01:58:41,988
No, I did not.

2047
01:58:42,255 --> 01:58:45,258
ELLEN: Were you aware that she was
twice treated for alcohol addiction?

2048
01:58:45,325 --> 01:58:49,596
The last time was 16 months ago
and paid for by SouthJet Airlines.

2049
01:58:50,663 --> 01:58:51,831
No, I did not.

2050
01:59:02,308 --> 01:59:03,977
Is it your opinion

2051
01:59:04,444 --> 01:59:06,413
that Katerina Marquez

2052
01:59:07,347 --> 01:59:09,182
drank on that flight?

2053
01:59:20,827 --> 01:59:22,662
Could you repeat the question?

2054
01:59:22,996 --> 01:59:28,168
Is it your opinion that Katerina Marquez
drank on that flight?

2055
01:59:39,846 --> 01:59:41,140
I'm sorry, my what?

2056
01:59:41,810 --> 01:59:42,782
Your opinion, Captain.

2057
01:59:42,882 --> 01:59:45,852
Since her toxicology report
is the only toxicology report

2058
01:59:45,919 --> 01:59:48,210
that is admissible in this hearing,

2059
01:59:48,880 --> 01:59:50,790
and she in fact tested
positive for alcohol,

2060
01:59:50,857 --> 01:59:53,460
is it your opinion that Katerina Marquez

2061
01:59:53,693 --> 01:59:57,530
drank those two bottles
of vodka on the plane?

2062
02:00:07,207 --> 02:00:08,875
(EXHALES) God help me.

2063
02:00:09,542 --> 02:00:10,643
ELLEN: I'm sorry, Mr. Whitaker,

2064
02:00:10,710 --> 02:00:12,879
I couldn't hear you. What did you say?

2065
02:00:15,382 --> 02:00:17,500
I said, "God help me."

2066
02:00:18,218 --> 02:00:21,154
Yes, well, however, is it your opinion...

2067
02:00:21,221 --> 02:00:22,389
It's my opinion

2068
02:00:22,956 --> 02:00:26,493
Trina did not drink that vodka.

2069
02:00:27,127 --> 02:00:28,395
Excuse me, Mr. Whitaker?

2070
02:00:28,461 --> 02:00:30,130
WHIP: She saved the boy's life, that's...

2071
02:00:30,130 --> 02:00:31,398
Could you speak louder,
Captain Whitaker?

2072
02:00:31,464 --> 02:00:34,234
Trina Marquez did not drink the vodka

2073
02:00:35,902 --> 02:00:37,904
because I drank the vodka.

2074
02:00:38,138 --> 02:00:39,139
(AUDIENCE MURMURING)

2075
02:00:39,572 --> 02:00:41,508
What the hell? Objection!

2076
02:00:43,143 --> 02:00:44,744
NTSB OFFICER: Please
be seated, sir. Sir.

2077
02:00:44,811 --> 02:00:46,312
CHARLIE: Captain Whitaker misspoke.

2078
02:00:46,980 --> 02:00:48,281
WHIP: I drank the vodka bottles.

2079
02:00:48,281 --> 02:00:49,416
CHARLIE: Didn't you hear me?
I said I object!

2080
02:00:49,649 --> 02:00:52,352
Please be seated, sir.
This is not a courtroom.

2081
02:00:52,452 --> 02:00:53,453
Well, I object anyway!

2082
02:00:55,255 --> 02:00:57,590
I drank the vodka bottles on the plane.

2083
02:00:59,325 --> 02:01:00,760
Captain Whitaker,

2084
02:01:00,827 --> 02:01:03,863
on the three nights
before the accident, October 11th...

2085
02:01:03,930 --> 02:01:06,320
October 11th, October 12th,

2086
02:01:06,990 --> 02:01:09,350
and 13th and 14th, I was intoxicated.

2087
02:01:09,102 --> 02:01:11,938
I drank all of those days. I drank.

2088
02:01:12,772 --> 02:01:14,107
In excess.

2089
02:01:15,508 --> 02:01:17,100
On the morning of the accident...

2090
02:01:17,177 --> 02:01:18,545
I was drunk.

2091
02:01:26,453 --> 02:01:27,954
I'm drunk now.

2092
02:01:34,361 --> 02:01:37,864
I'm drunk right now, Miss Block.

2093
02:01:45,305 --> 02:01:47,307
Because I'm an alcoholic.

2094
02:02:12,832 --> 02:02:14,167
WHIP: That was it.

2095
02:02:18,400 --> 02:02:19,339
I was finished.

2096
02:02:21,341 --> 02:02:22,676
I was done.

2097
02:02:25,845 --> 02:02:30,160
It was as if I had reached
my lifelong limit

2098
02:02:30,684 --> 02:02:32,180
of lies.

2099
02:02:32,852 --> 02:02:35,522
I could not tell one more lie.

2100
02:02:39,192 --> 02:02:41,270
And maybe I'm a sucker,

2101
02:02:43,196 --> 02:02:45,699
'cause if I had told just one more lie,

2102
02:02:46,320 --> 02:02:48,868
I could have walked away
from all that mess

2103
02:02:49,202 --> 02:02:52,872
and kept my wings,
kept my false sense of pride.

2104
02:02:55,542 --> 02:02:57,143
And more importantly,

2105
02:02:57,243 --> 02:02:58,812
I could have avoided being locked up

2106
02:02:58,878 --> 02:03:00,313
in here with all you

2107
02:03:01,470 --> 02:03:03,883
nice folks for the last 13 months.

2108
02:03:07,587 --> 02:03:08,922
But I'm here.

2109
02:03:10,223 --> 02:03:14,327
And I'll be here
for at least the next four or five years.

2110
02:03:14,394 --> 02:03:15,729
And that's fair.

2111
02:03:19,399 --> 02:03:22,680
I betrayed the public trust. I did.

2112
02:03:22,135 --> 02:03:23,837
That's how the judge explained it to me.

2113
02:03:23,903 --> 02:03:26,406
I had betrayed the public trust.

2114
02:03:28,408 --> 02:03:31,344
The FAA, they took away
my pilot's license.

2115
02:03:33,279 --> 02:03:34,848
And that's fair.

2116
02:03:35,648 --> 02:03:39,352
My chances
of ever flying again are slim to none.

2117
02:03:41,254 --> 02:03:42,922
And I accept that.

2118
02:03:45,959 --> 02:03:48,795
I've had a lot of time
to think about it, all of it.

2119
02:03:50,630 --> 02:03:52,966
I've been doing some writing.

2120
02:03:54,801 --> 02:03:59,139
I wrote letters to each of the families
that had lost loved ones.

2121
02:04:01,975 --> 02:04:04,477
Some of them were able
to hear my apology.

2122
02:04:06,146 --> 02:04:07,814
Some of them never will.

2123
02:04:09,482 --> 02:04:11,985
I also apologized to

2124
02:04:13,319 --> 02:04:17,991
all the people
that tried to help me along the way, but I

2125
02:04:19,292 --> 02:04:21,461
couldn't or wouldn't listen.

2126
02:04:25,331 --> 02:04:27,667
People like my wife, you know.

2127
02:04:31,400 --> 02:04:33,600
My ex-wife and, uh,

2128
02:04:37,100 --> 02:04:38,345
my son.

2129
02:04:41,848 --> 02:04:45,180
And again, like I said,
you know, some of them will

2130
02:04:47,354 --> 02:04:49,689
never forgive me. Some of them will.

2131
02:04:52,392 --> 02:04:54,260
But at least I'm sober.

2132
02:04:56,863 --> 02:05:00,330
I thank God for that.
I'm grateful for that.

2133
02:05:03,690 --> 02:05:04,804
And this is going to sound real stupid

2134
02:05:04,904 --> 02:05:07,774
coming from a man
who's locked up in prison,

2135
02:05:09,876 --> 02:05:12,212
but for the first time in my life,

2136
02:05:13,380 --> 02:05:14,748
I'm free.

2137
02:05:28,561 --> 02:05:31,640
Whitaker. You got a visitor.

2138
02:06:05,732 --> 02:06:06,733
(BUZZER SOUNDS)

2139
02:06:08,768 --> 02:06:10,837
GUARD: You got 40 minutes.
Okay.

2140
02:06:15,475 --> 02:06:16,476
(LAUGHS)

2141
02:06:17,377 --> 02:06:18,378
Aw.

2142
02:06:19,979 --> 02:06:20,980
Ah.

2143
02:06:21,781 --> 02:06:23,450
Look at you, boy.

2144
02:06:23,983 --> 02:06:26,520
How are you doing?
I'm good.

2145
02:06:26,119 --> 02:06:27,354
You look good.

2146
02:06:28,621 --> 02:06:30,290
Come on, sit down.

2147
02:06:31,658 --> 02:06:33,260
This is a surprise.

2148
02:06:33,460 --> 02:06:34,694
You get that gift I sent you?

2149
02:06:34,761 --> 02:06:35,962
Yeah, yeah, I got it.

2150
02:06:36,162 --> 02:06:37,430
Yeah? You like it?
Yeah.

2151
02:06:37,497 --> 02:06:38,498
Good.

2152
02:06:40,300 --> 02:06:41,801
How's your mom?

2153
02:06:42,135 --> 02:06:43,470
Oh. She's all right.

2154
02:06:45,305 --> 02:06:49,642
My college counselor
wanted me to come and interview you.

2155
02:06:50,176 --> 02:06:51,177
Me?

2156
02:06:51,478 --> 02:06:54,481
Yeah. I'm writing essays
for college applications.

2157
02:06:54,647 --> 02:06:55,915
Good.

2158
02:06:56,149 --> 02:06:57,484
I need your help.

2159
02:06:58,180 --> 02:06:59,386
You got it.

2160
02:07:00,653 --> 02:07:04,991
Well, this essay, the essay
that I have to write...

2161
02:07:06,426 --> 02:07:07,427
(SIGHS)

2162
02:07:07,494 --> 02:07:11,164
It's called "The Most Fascinating Person

That I've Never Met."

2164
02:07:20,707 --> 02:07:21,908
Okay.

2165
02:07:24,544 --> 02:07:25,912
So...

(RECORDER BEEPS)

2167
02:07:30,850 --> 02:07:32,352

2168
02:07:41,227 --> 02:07:43,129
That's a good question.
