Scarlet, Blue and Conrad drive to Novena Airport by car, tailed by Joe and the reporter. Scarlet tells the doctor that they will be using a standard airline rather than Spectrum transportation to keep a low profile. However, they have booked all the seats on Flight 104 under different names so that they will have the plane to themselves. Arriving at Novena, the group meets the head of airport security, Bill Williams, who assures Conrad that the crew are unlikely to question the empty seats because it is the low season.

Joe and the reporter try to book tickets for Flight 104 and are baffled when they discover that the plane is full. While the men ask if there are any last-minute cancellations, Captain Black enters the terminal building and passes into a room reserved for aircrew.
