Short filmTranscript
00:03I spent five years as Noah's co-pilot, and five more as his secret lover that couldn't be acknowledged.
00:11On our anniversary, his ex sent me a text.
00:21Guess which position we just unlocked.
00:24The photo showed the exact move Noah had me try in bed last week.
00:30That moment, I understood every trick he knew, she'd taught him.
00:36I took a picture of the captain transfer papers I'd hidden for three months, and replied,
00:41Congrats! But while you are busy unlocking new positions, I am charting a flight path he'll never catch.
00:52Then I signed my name bound for Seattle. Captain of GFO-28.
00:57Five years of playing second fiddle ends here.
01:00From now on, I fly east.
01:02He flies west.
01:04Thirty thousand feet up, our paths will never cross.
01:09I am my own captain now.
01:16Skylar.
01:21An elite pilot, like you should have been leading your own crew three years ago.
01:28Think it over these next few days.
01:30Do you want to keep being Noah's supporting act?
01:33Or seize the chance to become our first female captain?
01:40I'll give it serious thought.
01:45Five years.
01:46A full five years.
01:51Everyone at the company thought Noah and I were just the golden duo in the cockpit.
01:56Little did they know, we were just as compatible in bed.
02:04After graduating from flight school and joining the company, meeting Noah, we'd set one partnership record after another.
02:13Back then, Noah pursued me relentlessly.
02:18For my birthday, he spent three months designing a flight route that traced my name on the GPS map.
02:28Under Noah's constant devotion, I fell.
02:36To protect his career, the company prohibited relationships between captains and co-pilots.
02:47I agreed to keep things secret.
02:53By day, we piloted seven hundred and eighty-sevens together.
02:59Flying from New York to L.A., crossing the entire American continent.
03:04By night, we shared a bed.
03:07His kisses ranging from passionate to tender.
03:12Introducing me to eighty-one different positions.
03:17Two people so perfectly matched, mentally and physically yet.
03:22Looking back now, all I taste is bitterness.
03:32Still up?
03:34Too many night flights.
03:37My sleep schedule's a mess.
03:41Got you a gift, on this last flight.
03:45Inside the box, a Cartier diamond bracelet lay on satin.
03:49Blindingly bright.
03:51Three months ago, I'd mentioned it casually on a plane.
03:54He remembered.
03:58I should have been moved, if I hadn't seen the same bracelet on Bella's Instagram two days ago.
04:06Captain Hunt has excellent taste.
04:09This Cartier bracelet symbolizes eternity.
04:13Did you and Noah get back together?
04:15This bracelet is so perfect on you!
04:18Don't read too much into it.
04:22Five years together, and only then did I learn that Bella was Noah's ex-girlfriend.
04:37No wonder, at every team gathering, he always drove Bella home.
04:42While I, to hide our relationship, had to take calves alone.
04:49What is wrong?
04:52Don't like it.
04:53I waited in line six hours to get it.
04:56Didn't you say you really wanted it on the plane?
05:00Don't really want it anymore.
05:05Just like, I don't really want this man I've loved for five years anymore.
05:10If it doesn't suit you, I'll get you something else next time.
05:15Next time, he'll buy me something else.
05:17Will Bella also get one first?
05:20Or will he buy two identical items?
05:24Pulling myself back to the present, my gaze fell on the application form the jewelry box was crushing.
05:31And I smiled bitterly.
05:34I deliberately placed this document in the most visible spot.
05:38Yet Noah had completely ignored it.
05:41This unequal relationship, maybe it had been my one-woman show from the start.
05:50Robert, I accept the transfer.
05:53I am applying for the GF-028 route.
05:57GF-028 and Noah's 787 go completely opposite directions.
06:04One east, one west.
06:08Choose this route, and your flight paths will never intersect.
06:13You sure?
06:16I am sure.
06:28Writing something?
06:32Flight dispatch for next time.
06:39If you are too tired, consider stopping flights.
06:42My salary is enough for us to live well anyway.
06:44Five years, and this man had never truly understood me.
06:49He knew I'd given up three promotion opportunities for him.
06:53He knew flying was my everything.
06:55Yet, he still said things like that.
06:59We'll see.
07:01It is fine.
07:02Just 14 more days, and I can leave Global United Airlines.
07:07Leave this man, who has never taken my dreams seriously.
07:12Back in the bedroom, I'd barely laid down when Noah's arm wrapped around me from behind.
07:18His palms sliding knowingly into my silk nightgown.
07:21My images flashed through my mind.
07:24Bella's Instagram photo showing her red painted nails resting on Noah's wrist.
07:30Don't touch me!
07:32Don't touch me!
07:35Don't touch me!
07:36What is wrong?
07:38Not feeling well.
07:45Does this help?
07:48In the darkness, his tenderness felt so real, but so did the betrayal.
07:53If he really cared about me, why would he still be entangled with his ex-girlfriend?
07:58In the early morning, his phone on the nightstand lit up.
08:02I instinctively glanced over.
08:05It was a message from Bella.
08:06Remember number three on your 18-year-old wish list?
08:10Rowboat in Central Park.
08:12I am waiting for you at the dock.
08:14My heart sank to the bottom.
08:16Last Saturday, Noah had just promised to take me to Central Park.
08:20I'd even booked a double rowboat.
08:22Turns out, not only did the ex get priority on gifts,
08:25even our date plans were hers to experience first.
08:31Something urgent with the crew.
08:32I need to go.
08:34I want to go to Central Park.
08:36Now.
08:37Next week.
08:39I am too busy this week.
08:41Next week, I'll take you.
08:45So I am just supposed to keep waiting!
08:47One text from his ex.
08:49And she is more important than all our plans.
08:52I turned back to the living room,
08:54looking at the entire wall of photos,
08:56feeling that familiar tightness in my chest again.
09:02A hundred photos,
09:03symbolizing our love lasting a hundred years!
09:07A hundred years.
09:10The promise had a much shorter shelf life than I'd imagined.
09:17Some people never forget your 18-year-old dreams.
09:20Number Central Park.
09:21Number Sunrise.
09:22Promise it kept.
09:24Noah, slower!
09:27It hurts!
09:29So after the rowboat,
09:31there was an after party.
09:33Skylar,
09:34where are all the photos?
09:37Fell down.
09:38Put them away.
09:40When I have time,
09:41we'll hang them together.
09:44Sadly,
09:46photos can be re-hung.
09:48But feelings can't.
09:58The next morning,
10:01I placed the signed promotion form
10:03on Robert's assistant's desk.
10:05Just as I was about to leave,
10:06the hallway intercom crackled.
10:09All crew members,
10:10please report immediately to conference hall.
10:13One.
10:13The new Purser arrives today.
10:16The Boeing 787 was getting a new Purser.
10:21So sudden.
10:26We're pleased to introduce
10:28our Boeing 787's new Purser,
10:31Bella Jones.
10:35Fate works in mysterious ways.
10:38Five years ago,
10:40when Noah first became captain,
10:41I was his Purser.
10:44After all this time,
10:46we get to fly together again.
10:48It must be destiny.
10:51Wow!
10:52They're totally meant for each other!
10:54Five years ago,
10:55they were just like this.
10:56Their chemistry stung my eyes.
10:59I quietly turned
11:00and pushed through
11:02the heavy conference hall doors.
11:05That evening's welcome dinner
11:07was at an upscale restaurant
11:08in midtown Manhattan.
11:11I hadn't wanted to go,
11:13but several crew members
11:15dragged me along.
11:17Come on, Skylar.
11:18Everyone knows you've always liked Noah.
11:21But for the company's sake,
11:23at least make an appearance.
11:28I sat in a corner,
11:29watching Bella circulate
11:30like a hostess.
11:32She'd lean in to whisper to Noah,
11:34fingers lightly touching his shoulder.
11:37The scene was especially painful to watch.
11:40In public before,
11:42Noah never let me get that close.
11:44Now I understood those rules
11:46only applied to people he didn't love.
11:49I heard they were madly in love back then.
11:51When Bella was going to work in Dubai,
11:54Noah even wrote a resignation letter
11:56if the flight director hadn't stopped him.
11:59And, you know,
12:00the most romantic part.
12:03When Noah wanted to propose,
12:05he specially requested a new route
12:08and confessed over the radio
12:10while crossing the Arctic Circle.
12:13Those flying memories I thought
12:15were uniquely ours.
12:17Turns out they were all reruns
12:19of someone else's story.
12:20The whole company knew
12:22about their romance.
12:23But no one knew about Noah
12:25and me these past five years.
12:28You must be Skylar.
12:30I am Bella.
12:32Consider me your senior.
12:35This double-edged comment
12:36was laughable.
12:38This woman who'd been provoking me
12:40with messages
12:40was now playing
12:41the first meeting card.
12:52Pleasure.
12:54Bella's smile froze for a moment,
12:56quickly recovering
12:57as she turned toward Noah.
12:59He was listening to her.
13:01His lips curved
13:02in that gentle arc
13:03I hadn't seen in weeks.
13:05Not once did he look
13:06in my direction.
13:08I couldn't take anymore
13:10and found an excuse to leave.
13:13Noah,
13:13your co-pilot
13:14doesn't seem to like me much.
13:17She left without even eating.
13:19Don't mind her.
13:20She's been pining
13:21after Noah for five years,
13:23playing second fiddle
13:24the whole time.
13:26Now that you are back,
13:27naturally she is uncomfortable.
13:29Don't say things like that.
13:32We'll all be colleagues
13:33going forward.
13:35So in everyone's eyes,
13:36I was just a pathetic woman
13:38who couldn't get
13:39what she wanted.
13:41Fine.
13:42In eleven more days,
13:43this pathetic woman
13:45would vanish
13:45from their sight forever.
13:47After all,
13:48no one ever knew
13:49I was Noah's actual girlfriend.
13:54Skylar,
13:55you shouldn't have left like that.
13:57Bella is a new colleague
13:58after all.
14:00You made things
14:00very awkward for her.
14:03You care so much
14:04about her embarrassment.
14:06Is it because
14:07she is a new colleague?
14:09Or because she is
14:10your ex-girlfriend?
14:21Skylar,
14:22you have to trust me.
14:23That is all ancient history.
14:27These five years,
14:28you've been the only one
14:29by my side.
14:31His eyes held a panic
14:32I'd never seen before,
14:34making me momentarily dazed.
14:36Maybe he does care about me.
14:39But just then,
14:41Bella's voice came from behind.
14:44Noah!
14:46The arm around me
14:47suddenly released,
14:48and he jerked back
14:49like he'd been shocked.
14:51That movement was so fast
14:52like pure instinct,
14:53drawing an invisible boundary
14:55between us.
14:56In that moment,
14:57I finally understood
14:59the current girlfriend
14:59of five years
15:00couldn't compete
15:01with a returning ex.
15:03Go on,
15:04don't keep her waiting.
15:05I thought I'd been
15:06mentally prepared.
15:08But when betrayal
15:09was laid out so nakedly,
15:11the heart still hurts.
15:15I curled up
15:16on the living room sofa,
15:18phone screen glowing
15:19on my face.
15:20My finger unconsciously
15:22clicked on Bella's Instagram.
15:23Her latest post
15:24was from 10 minutes ago.
15:26Caption,
15:27maximum boyfriend power,
15:28who says captains
15:29only fly planes,
15:30number best support.
15:31Look that photo.
15:33I suddenly remembered
15:34last summer
15:35at the noisy
15:36Coney Island
15:36amusement park.
15:39Noah!
15:40I want to try it too!
15:46Don't do that,
15:47Skylar.
15:48It is not appropriate.
15:50Turns out
15:51it wasn't inappropriate.
15:53Just the wrong person.
15:55Don't cry, Skylar.
15:59Crying over
15:59unworthy people
16:01was letting myself down.
16:06Packing this late?
16:07Long flight next week.
16:11Getting things
16:12organized in advance.
16:14He's showing
16:15no suspicion.
16:17He even came over,
16:18bent down to check
16:19my suitcase lock,
16:20then click
16:21personally locked it
16:22for me.
16:28Alright,
16:29get some sleep.
16:30I looked at that
16:31suitcase he'd
16:31personally locked.
16:33My throat
16:34suddenly tight.
16:36He'd never know
16:37this case didn't
16:38hold flight equipment.
16:39But my determination
16:41to leave.
16:44I don't know.
16:52today was my last flight
16:54as Noah's co-pilot
16:55and Bella's maiden voyage
16:57is the 787's purser.
17:02How pathetic
17:03together with Noah
17:04five years.
17:06And he can't even
17:08publicly acknowledge you.
17:11Seems in his heart
17:12he'll always be someone
17:14who can't see daylight.
17:18Noah told me
17:20that morning
17:20in Central Park.
17:24He said he missed
17:25our flying days
17:26together most.
17:29Thanks for your hard work
17:31these five years.
17:34Playing his assistant
17:35by day,
17:36his bed partner
17:37by night.
17:38But you must have
17:40noticed.
17:41His favorite positions
17:43were all ones.
17:44I taught him.
17:46If you want to say
17:47these things
17:47you should tell Noah.
17:53Or can you only
17:54show off
17:55in front of me?
17:58Skylar
17:59clinging to a man
18:00who doesn't love you.
18:02Don't you find
18:03it humiliating?
18:06Noah only has me
18:07in his heart.
18:09He is just
18:10killing time
18:10with you.
18:11The gifts
18:12he gave you
18:13were just styles
18:14I didn't want.
18:16Even the man himself
18:18I used him first.
18:21You know what?
18:23Only he and I
18:25are the most compatible
18:26body
18:26and soul.
18:30Look at Bella
18:31I suddenly
18:32finding this scene
18:32ridiculous.
18:34She expected
18:36to see me
18:36break down.
18:38But ever since
18:39I discovered
18:39those flirty texts
18:40on Noah's phone
18:42my heart
18:43had withered
18:43like a dying flower.
18:45No amount of provocation
18:47could make it bloom again.
18:49Since you are so perfect together
18:53I wish you both
18:54a happy reunion.
19:02from today on
19:03my life
19:05would be like
19:05the sunshine
19:06bright and warm.
19:12Flaps
19:13five degrees.
19:18Flaps
19:19five check.
19:21Takeoff
19:21thrust
19:22set.
19:23Thrust
19:23said check
19:24check
19:25We coordinated
19:26as seamlessly
19:27as the past
19:28five years
19:29but every command
19:30today carried
19:31farewell.
19:33This was the last time
19:34I'd sit on his right.
19:36From now on
19:38I'd be the one
19:39holding the control column
19:41bringing every aircraft
19:43safely through
19:43takeoff and landing.
19:54At 35,000 feet
19:56Noah engaged
19:57autopilot.
19:59We walked out
20:00of the cockpit
20:00one after another
20:01to patrol the cabin.
20:03Noah!
20:05Just then
20:06the plane
20:07suddenly hit
20:07severe turbulence.
20:09An overhead bin
20:10door popped open
20:11and a heavy suitcase
20:13fell straight down.
20:14Time stretched
20:15infinitely in that
20:16moment.
20:17I saw Noah
20:19instinctively
20:19pull Bella
20:20into his arms
20:21while that case
20:22struck solidly
20:23on my right shoulder.
20:25Captain
20:26Skyler!
20:31First
20:31go calm
20:32the passengers.
20:35Tell them
20:36this is just
20:37normal turbulence.
20:39Okay!
20:43who's responsibility
20:44was this?
20:50Sorry!
20:52I just took
20:53something out
20:53and might not
20:54have closed it
20:54properly.
20:56Can't handle
20:57even this
20:57basic operation!
20:59What
21:00if it had hit
21:01a passenger?
21:02Skyler
21:03it was an accident.
21:05Don't be so harsh.
21:09at 35,000 feet
21:12there is no
21:13such thing
21:14as accident
21:14that what
21:15you said
21:17I am
21:18disappointed
21:18Relly!
21:25About what
21:25just happened
21:27I am
21:28very sorry
21:30but Bella
21:31was closer to me
21:32I instinctively
21:35it is fine
21:36this is my
21:37last time
21:37flying the
21:38787
21:39with you
21:39anyway
21:40you are
21:41angry about
21:41what just

21:45No
21:47Bella's been
21:48away from
21:48this position
21:49five years
21:50she needs
21:51time to
21:51readjust
21:52you shouldn't
21:53be too
21:54hard on her
21:55those words
21:56were like
21:57the final
21:57boulder
21:57crushing
21:58the last
21:58hope
21:59in my
21:59heart
22:00the one
22:01who made
22:01the mistake
22:02got tender
22:02protection
22:03while the
22:04injured one
22:04was accused
22:05of being
22:05too harsh
22:06the aching
22:07right shoulder
22:08felt like
22:08a prominent
22:09period

22:11end point
22:12of these
22:12five years
22:14sure enough

22:18to be flown

22:30hours of flight
22:31the plane
22:32landed smoothly

22:39Noah took

22:45and Bella
22:46plus other
22:47crew members

22:50any anticipation

44:28We're finished. You'll pay for your actions.
44:35The next day, Noah brought all evidence to the company's security department.
44:41Simultaneously, the company's lawyer sent termination letters to Bella's residence.
44:46A week later, police officially arrested Bella on charges of commercial fraud and defamation.
44:52The news quickly spread through aviation circles.
44:56Noah cooperated with police as key witness to complete the investigation.
45:01Walking from the station, he happened to see an Aurora Airlines aircraft streak across the blue sky.
45:07GFO 28, Skylar must be in the cockpit right now.
45:14Confidently, gripping the controls.
45:16In that moment, his heart felt both stabbing pain and strange relief.
45:21That girl who once stood behind him, had now flown toward broader skies.
45:27Noah didn't go to Seattle again.
45:30He spent an entire week handwriting a long letter.
45:35Dear Skylar, you taught me what love is.
45:38What responsibility means.
45:41You gave up three promotion opportunities for me.
45:44Yet I was blind.
45:47You endured five years as my secret girlfriend.
45:51Yet, I took it for granted.
45:54Now you are flying freely while I finally learned to let go.
45:58May you forever soar in your own blue skies.
46:27Oh my God!
46:29The right engine is out!
46:30Shut down right engine. Follow emergency procedures.
46:35Engine shut down! Skyler, we only have one engine now!
46:39Don't panic. I'll handle it.
46:44Passengers, this is Captain Skyler. The aircraft has encountered some technical issues we're addressing.
46:50Please remain calm and keep seat belts fastened.
46:55My God! Single engine! Not enough fuel to reach Tokyo!
47:00Then we won't go to Tokyo. How far to Anchorage?
47:05400 plus nautical miles. Just barely enough fuel if everything goes smoothly.
47:12Anchorage Airport. This is GFO 28. We need emergency landing.
47:19GFO 28. State your situation.
47:22Right engine failure. 182 souls on board.
47:26Requesting immediate landing. Estimated arrival in 35 minutes.
47:31Copy. Runway cleared for you. Emergency crew standing by.
47:36The plane began descending. Missing one engine, the entire aircraft tilted right.
47:42I had to constantly adjust to maintain balance.
47:48Fuel warning!
47:50Don't panic. Don't panic, Ryan. Follow my lead. Take deep breaths. We can do this.
47:56I said for Ryan and myself.
48:01Land finally appeared outside the window. Anchorage.
48:05I'd never found this name so beautiful.
48:08GFO 28. Turn left.
48:11Descend to 3000 feet.
48:13Copy.
48:14This was the most dangerous moment single engine landing. No second chances.
48:21200 feet.
48:23100 feet.
48:2510 feet.
48:26Jol ounce.
48:26It's fair.
48:27That's finally, the plane stopped.
48:3015 minutes.
48:32spreads each other
48:51GFO 28. And if you are.
48:53Welcome to Anchorage.
48:54Well done, Captain.
48:59Skylar, you just saved everyone.
49:02Those 35 minutes felt like a century.
49:06I truly felt death's proximity for the first time.
49:11And for the first time, I felt I could hold up the sky on my own.
49:17All those voices saying I wasn't calm enough didn't deserve to be Captain.
49:23Now they could all shut up.
49:25Three days after the engine failure incident, Aurora Airlines held a celebration banquet for me.
49:32Liam stayed by my side all evening, deflecting drinks, serving food, attentive beyond ignoring.
49:54Skylar, there is something I must to tell you.
49:59I like you. I've liked you since the day I first saw you. For a full seven years.
50:05Seven years?
50:07Watching you with Noah every day was torture.
50:12But I thought as long as you were happy, now you are finally free.
50:17I don't want to miss this chance.
50:23Liam.
50:24I know you might not be ready.
50:27But Skylar, give me a chance to prove love doesn't have to be a burden.
50:32I'm eating his determined gaze.
50:34I think about Liam's seven-year vigil.
50:38Noah's five-year dismissiveness.
50:41What I truly wanted.
50:44What if I am not sure I can love you?
50:47Then I'll work to make you love me.
50:50Let's try.
50:52Thank you, Skylar.
51:06The next day at work, my inbox held two emails.
51:10One was from the company's HR department, promoted to Director of Flight Standards in recognition of outstanding performance.
51:19The other email was from Noah.
51:22In his letter, he congratulated me on my promotion and thanked me for helping him become a better person.
51:29Additionally, he has accepted a transfer to the Africa route and will depart next week.
51:33I stared at the screen for a long time, finally replying four words, take care.
51:43Three years later.
51:54Long time no see.
52:02Long time.
52:08Heard you are getting married?
52:13Next month.
52:20Liam is a good man.
52:22Much better than me.
52:28The past is past.
52:30Yes, past.
52:37My flight's boarding.
52:38Wishing you happiness.
52:40Sincerely.
52:41You too.
52:57Why'd you come?
52:59Ryan said you ran into Noah in Paris.
53:08Worried you'd be upset.
53:11You are not bothered?
53:14Why would I be?
53:17He is the past.
53:18I am the present and future.
53:26Liam, I love you.
53:30I love you, too.
53:46Seattle Tower, Aurora Airlines, GFO 28, requesting takeoff clearance.
53:57Cleared for takeoff.
53:59GFO 28, your tower will be waiting for your return.
54:04Do you want to see me.
54:04I love you, too.
54:07I love you.
54:11How much better.
54:16Anyone can see you.
54:16See you again.
54:17Have you been at fight?
54:17Good to see you again.
54:17Bye.
54:17Amen.
