00:00The woman noticed something strange while boarding the plane. The cabin that should have been packed

00:04was unusually empty with only a few passengers. She didn't relax until she saw the luggage being

00:08loaded outside, but that was just the beginning of the horror. Her daughter had been quiet ever

00:12since they boarded. Once the plane began climbing, she told her daughter to rest for a bit, but the

00:17moment Daisy opened her eyes, her daughter had vanished from the cabin. She thought the girl

00:21might have gone to the restroom, but after checking several times, she still couldn't find her. Daisy

00:26started to feel uneasy. She asked the flight attendant about her, but was told her daughter

00:30never boarded the plane. Daisy was confused instantly. She clearly remembered boarding with

00:34her daughter, but now they said she was alone, so Daisy continued searching the cabin. She nearly

00:39searched every inch of it. When she returned to her seat and saw the teddy bear, she knew this wasn't

00:44something simple, but the weirdest part was, even the nearby passengers claimed they never saw her

00:48daughter. Just then a flight attendant showed up and helped Daisy make an announcement over the

00:52intercom. Ten minutes went by, still no sign of the girl. Daisy's anxiety was through the roof.

00:57The attendant assured her the captain would be notified. With no choice, Daisy had to trust them,

01:02but half an hour later, the search still hadn't started. Now she was desperate. She asked around

01:06the passengers again, but everyone still said they hadn't seen her. Then another flight attendant

01:11suddenly appeared. Seemed like she was trying to avoid Daisy, and pulled the first attendant aside.

01:16Daisy noticed and chased after them, but this time she heard something even scarier.

01:19I'm sorry, but I don't think that she's here. What? We don't. Ma'am, we don't have any record

01:29of your daughter ever having been on board. That was impossible. Daisy told them she still

01:33had the boarding pass, then ran back into the cabin to look. But no matter how hard she searched,

01:37she couldn't find it. Now no matter how she explained, the crew just thought she was mentally

01:41unstable. Daisy was getting more and more emotional. She believed her daughter was in danger.

01:46In panic she ran toward the cockpit, but before she could knock a few times, she was restrained

01:50by an air marshal. After learning Daisy had an emergency, he offered to bring her to the captain.

01:55Soon the captain heard the whole situation. He asked if Daisy had any mental illness,

01:59and Daisy admitted she had some. But it was just depression, not serious enough to cause

02:03hallucinations. And the reason for this trip was to bring her late husband back home.

02:08His coffin was in the cargo hold, though still doubtful of Daisy's mental state.

02:11The captain sympathized with her as a mother.

02:14Get the lights up. Get every passenger seated. No one in the toilets, no exception.

02:19Look for her backpack, her boarding pass. Check every closet, every bin.

02:24Are there any more questions?

02:27Then a full-scale search began inside the cabin. The crew checked every corner carefully.

02:31The intense commotion made passengers annoyed. Agent Jeff stayed close behind,

02:35just in case Daisy acted up again. At that moment Daisy stopped,

02:38because the bearded man looked familiar. Even after Daisy asked, the bearded man claimed he

02:48didn't know her. Half an hour passed, still no progress. The captain was losing his patience.

02:53When he said the search would stop, Daisy lost control. But the search was disturbing other

02:57passengers. Just then Daisy seemed to remember something. She rushed to find the bearded man.

03:02She recalled seeing him, staring at her daughter at the hotel yesterday. He was likely behind all this,

03:07but the man said he stayed at a different hotel, and had never seen Daisy at all. To clear suspicion,

03:12he even showed his check-in record. But Daisy still didn't trust him.

03:18Let's go.

03:19Where's my daughter?

03:20I spent the night watching a movie, you crazy-

03:22Look at that!

03:23The cabin soon turned chaotic. Luckily Jeff pulled her away, and asked if the man really did it.

03:29Why would he board the same plane? Wouldn't that just get himself caught?

03:32He also warned Daisy, if she kept acting up, he would have to cuff her. Daisy still couldn't

03:37explain herself. Jeff asked why someone would kidnap her daughter.

03:40Why would anyone want to take your daughter? What makes her so special? What makes you so special?

03:46Daisy didn't know how to answer. Just then an announcement came on. Cabin crew resumed normal

03:50operations, which meant the search was over. Daisy rushed to the captain, and heard something

03:55terrifying.

03:55Where's my daughter?

03:56If you'll come with me-

03:57Where is she? Where is she?

03:58She's dead, goddammit!

04:00Turned out the captain had called the hospital, and found out Daisy's husband, had jumped with

04:04their daughter under stress. Daisy couldn't believe it. She felt like the whole world went crazy.

04:09She clearly boarded with her daughter. They even brought the husband's coffin together,

04:13and had stayed at the same hotel before the flight. The captain saw Daisy was breaking down.

04:17She stumbled toward the cabin, but ran into the bearded man again.

04:20Half an hour later, the cabin was calm again. Daisy woke up from her sleep. The captain arranged

04:28for a psychiatrist, tried to help her accept the truth. Daisy pretended to agree, but just minutes

04:33later, she turned her head, and saw a heart on the glass. Her daughter had drawn it during boarding,

04:38which meant her daughter did board the plane. She used going to the restroom as an excuse,

04:42to end the talk, and asked to have her cuffs removed, so she could use the bathroom.

04:46Once inside, relying on her aircraft design experience, she opened the ceiling panel,

04:51carefully climbed into the overhead space, found the power control switch. After operating it,

04:55the oxygen masks dropped down. Passengers thought it was an emergency, and started panicking.

05:00Daisy flipped another switch. The cabin lights went out, using the chaos as cover. Daisy slipped out

05:05of the restroom. Meanwhile the captain got the alert. He was warned someone tampered with the system.

05:10When Jeff opened the bathroom door, Daisy had already reached the cargo hold. She believed

05:15after searching the whole cabin. Her daughter must be there. She first found her husband's coffin,

05:20but inside was only the husband. Seeing his lifeless body, Daisy started to panic. Where could her

05:25daughter be? Just then Jeff arrived. He cuffed Daisy immediately, and because of her reckless actions,

05:30the plane had to make an emergency landing, but Daisy was even happier. Landing early meant a better

05:35chance to find her daughter. At that moment, everyone on board, thought Daisy was insane. Some even clapped,

05:41seeing her get taken away. Back in her seat, Daisy pleaded with Jeff. If she got arrested after

05:46landing, she hoped Jeff would help find her daughter. Jeff was touched by her plea. He asked a flight

05:50attendant, to watch over Daisy, while he went to talk to the captain. But surprisingly, Jeff pulled

05:56the curtain, didn't go to the cockpit. Instead he entered the cargo hold. He lifted a phone panel,

06:01and underneath was a bomb remote. Turns out, Daisy's daughter was on the plane, and Agent Jeff was the

06:06one behind it all. He installed the device, then met with the captain. Lied that Daisy was part of a

06:11conspiracy. Said if they didn't pay her five million dollars, she'd blow up the plane.

06:16Hey, she has an accomplice on board. She won't say who it is, but that's who's holding the detonator.

06:21Jeff kept pressuring the captain. The captain tried to talk to Daisy, but Jeff stopped him,

06:26said Daisy no longer communicated. All she wanted was money, and a getaway plane. He told the captain to

06:31follow instructions, or everyone would be at risk. Then Jeff found the flight attendant, who was

06:36actually his accomplice. She had altered Daisy's boarding records, and gave false information to the

06:41captain. Seeing his partner getting nervous, Jeff reassured her. Once they landed everything would be

06:46smooth. Soon the plane landed safely. Everyone disembarked as scheduled. Daisy still believed she'd

06:51find her daughter. She proudly told the captain. They were close to finding her, and demanded an apology

06:55for stopping the search. But the captain had had enough. Daisy was completely shocked. Jeff sensed

07:13the plan might fall apart. Quickly made up a reason to get off the plane. But Daisy seemed to catch on.

07:19She followed him, when she saw the agents outside, and recalled what the captain said. She realized Jeff

07:23was behind at all. She yelled at him from behind. But Jeff wasn't even nervous. He smiled, and warned

07:29Daisy. If she said anything, she'd never see her daughter again. Daisy stayed silent. Once everyone

07:34had safely left the plane, she knocked Jeff out with a fire extinguisher, then grabbed the detonator

07:38from his pocket. As she demanded to know where her daughter was, the female accomplice showed up.

07:43Daisy ran back into the plane. Jeff fired several shots, but missed her completely. By the time he got

07:48closer, Daisy had already locked herself in the cockpit. Ignoring Jeff's threats, Daisy climbed through the

07:53panel again, entered another cabin compartment. But she hadn't gone far, before running into the

07:58accomplice. Daisy questioned her conscience. The woman looked guilty. While she was distracted,

08:03Daisy stepped forward, and knocked her out with a punch. Jeff heard the noise, and came after her.

08:08But again, he was too late. Daisy had reached the cargo hold, and found her daughter inside.

08:12Seeing Jeff closing in, Daisy moved her daughter to the side, then circled behind Jeff.

08:17What are you gonna do? Huh? You gonna blow us up? No, just you.

08:28Flames erupted across the plane. Everyone looked on in disbelief. Moments later,

08:33the cabin door opened. Daisy carried her daughter out from the smoke.

08:36Flames erupted across the plane.
