Summary

The break-in by Two Cheapside Firm "cleaners" at Sam's home endangers his family and intensifies the situation. The most significant plot twist of the episode unfolds with the unexpected discovery of a secret hijacker onboard the plane linked to Edgar and the Cheapside Firm.

In episode 6 of "Hijack," titled "Comply Slowly," the heart-pounding intensity of the Apple thriller series reaches new heights with a series of unexpected twists. As the popular miniseries approaches its finale on August 2, 2023, "Comply Slowly" brings all the key characters into crucial positions, building up to a final showdown. Following the shocking death of an innocent passenger in episode 4, perpetrated by Stuart and the hijackers to demonstrate their seriousness, Sam is forced to alter his negotiation tactics. He uses his physical strength and seeks the cooperation of other passengers to apply pressure.

The mystery surrounding the primary objective of the hijacking, which remained unclear in the first four episodes, is finally unveiled in episode 5, revealing the involvement of an organized crime unit. The British government becomes aware of the Cheapside Firm, a criminal organization responsible for the hijacking of Kingdom Flight 29. They demand the release of two influential members, shedding light on the motive behind the hijack. Episode 6 opens with the release of these criminals from prison, triggering a series of events that put countless innocent lives at risk, both in the air and on the ground.

6 Edgar & John Are Released From Prison

5 Cheapside Firm 'Cleaners' Break Into Sam’s Home

Edgar Janssen and John Bailey Brown, two members of the influential Cheapside Firm, have been granted early release from their 35-year prison sentence at the request of a criminal organization. The release has been authorized by the British government with the condition that Edgar and John be closely monitored until the safe landing of Kingdom Flight 29 can be confirmed. Despite being under the watchful eyes of Daniel, Zhara, and Foreign Minister Louise, Edgar and John manage to elude them using their cunning tactics. To everyone's surprise, the British government makes the unexpected decision to comply with the hijackers' demands, contradicting their initial stance of not yielding to potential terrorists.

In an attempt to gather more information about Sam's family, two members of the Cheapside Firm disguise themselves as 'cleaners' and invade his home. One of them poses as a delivery person and contacts Sam's ex-wife, Marsha, in order to confirm his address. This clever ruse allows them to locate Sam's residence. Faced with the dangerous members of the Cheapside Firm, Sam's son Kai hides in silence, knowing that they are willing to kill or hold hostage anyone who poses a threat to their mission. Given the previous ruthless actions of the 'cleaners' in episode 2, Kai finds himself in grave danger as the Hijack finale approaches.

4 Devlin Employs Felix To Break The Hijacking News

A mysterious individual, known as Devlin, makes an unsolicited call to a journalist named Felix, who is notorious for his involvement in unethical practices. Devlin's aim is to persuade Felix to leak a breaking news story regarding the hijacking of Kingdom Flight 29. Previously seen in the concluding moments of episode 4 of the TV series "Hijack," Devlin confronts the Home Minister and presents a set of demands. Aware of Felix's past engagement in insider trading, Devlin exploits this information to blackmail Felix into immediately sharing the hijacking story on social media. By doing so, Devlin uncovers the existence of a potential third party composed of corrupt investors who may have played a role in the hijacking. Recognizing the detrimental impact this revelation will have on Kingdom Airlines' stock price, Devlin appears to have skillfully executed his plan, aligning everything accordingly.

3 Sam Quietly Incites A Revolt Among The Passengers

Sam's strategy is perplexing at times as he remains consistently inconsistent. Throughout episodes 1–5 of Hijack, Sam repeatedly claims that he desires the safety of innocent people and simply wants to return home to his family unharmed. However, despite these assertions, Sam often initiates conflicts and tense moments between the passengers and hijackers. One incident involved the passing of a water bottle, which nearly resulted in the loss of another innocent passenger's life. Notably, Sam's act of circling the words "Get ready to shake things up" on the bottle encouraged many passengers to rebel against the hijackers, putting their lives at further risk. Additionally, Sam's frequent interventions led to the presence of two Cheapside Firm 'cleaners' in his home and placed his son in grave danger.

2 Stuart Has Another Chance To Kill Sam But Doesn’t

Sam's handling of the situation with Stuart and the hijackers has been inconsistent, ranging from diplomatic efforts to engaging in physical combat. This has created uncertainty about whether Sam actually has a clear plan. By constantly involving himself in every confrontation, Sam puts himself in dangerous situations that have almost cost him his life multiple times. Despite being portrayed as a skilled negotiator, Sam appears more like an impulsive bystander who improvises, often putting others at risk.

What is even more surprising is Stuart's tolerance for Sam's constant interference and attempts to sabotage the original hijacking plan. Stuart has had numerous opportunities and valid reasons to kill Sam, yet he hesitates for unknown reasons. Although Sam can be charming and convincing, it is evident that he is not aligned with Stuart's objectives and has consistently tried to hinder the hijackers' goals. In a critical moment, Stuart chose to kill Sheena, an innocent passenger, instead of neutralizing Sam during a confrontation with another hijacker named Terry. This decision does not align with Stuart's supposed intent to send a message and gain control over the plane. Sam would have been the more logical choice to eliminate if Stuart was truly serious about achieving his objectives.

1 A Hidden Hijacker Named Amanda Kills Captain Robin

In a shocking turn of events in episode 6 of Hijack, the most significant revelation occurs in the final moments. Amanda, who Sam had initially tried to comfort during the hijacking in episode 1, unveils her connection to Edgar and the Cheapside Firm. Pretending to be terrified, Sam had encouraged Amanda to stay strong for her family. However, everything changes when Amanda receives a text from Edgar, coinciding with his and John's entrance into their second getaway car. The message instructs her to take immediate action. In a swift and decisive move, Amanda retrieves a concealed pistol and fatally shoots Captain Robin in the head, instantly killing him. Seizing control of the cockpit, she firmly closes the door behind her, revealing herself as the hijacker's hidden ace throughout the entire Hijack series.
