Plot Summary

Ethan Kopek, a TSA officer at LAX, has become cynical after being rejected from the police academy for concealing his father’s criminal history. On Christmas Eve, his pregnant girlfriend Nora encourages him to reapply to pursue his dream. Instead, Ethan asks his supervisor Phil Sarkowski to assign him to manage a baggage-scanning lane, hoping to demonstrate his merit for a promotion. During his shift, Ethan receives an earbud, through which he is contacted by the ruthless mercenary the Traveler. He orders him to let a specific carry-on case pass through the scanner, or Nora will be killed.

The Traveler’s accomplice, the Watcher, remotely monitors Ethan, thwarting his attempts to alert the authorities, despite various calls to 911 that he makes on his watch and phone. He finally manages to write a secret warning to airport police officer Lionel, using invisible ink. However, before Lionel can act, the Traveler poisons him with aconitine, causing a fatal heart attack. Due to Ethan’s seemingly erratic behaviour, his friend Jason takes over his position. The Traveler warns Ethan that he will kill Jason if necessary to execute his plan, so Ethan plants an alcoholic drink at his workstation, whichresults in Jason’s removal.

After replacing Jason, Ethan lets a man pass through with the carry-on case as instructed, and sees from his boarding pass that his name is Mateo Flores. The Traveler reveals that the suitcase contains Novichok, a lethal nerve agent. Meanwhile, LAPD detective Elena Cole investigates a double homicide and discovers the victims had smuggled Novichok into the country. She alerts the DHS and connects the threat to Ethan’s aborted 911 call. In response, a terminal-wide sweep is ordered, and Ethan, evading the Watcher’s surveillance, secretly adds Mateo to the list of passengers flagged for inspection. However, the Traveler suspects Ethan’s interference and confronts him in a restroom.
