Kyle Pratt, a U.S. aircraft engineer employed in Berlin, Germany, is widowed with a sixyearold daughter Julia after her husband David falls off the roof of their building to his death. Kyle decides to bury him in their hometown back in the U.S., on Long Island, NY. They fly aboard a passenger aircraft, the engines of which Kyle helped design.

Carson finds her, puts her in handcuffs and escorts her back, announcing that she will be arrested as
