Countdown to Life: Rescue at 30,000 Feet
Synopsis
A kidney from a donor is being flown out in a sealed cooler, and the transplant it is meant for is being kept quiet, so nobody else on the plane is told what is in the case. The kidney is for Derek Wolf, the richest man in America, who is dying. Shaun, the surgeon hired to bring it, travels with it. The plane sits on the ground because Kim has gone to the bathroom. Kim is the mother of Jessica, who is engaged to Erik, Derek's grandson. Shaun tells them to hurry, and Jessica humiliates him for it. After takeoff Kim has a heart attack. Shaun saves her and breaks several of her ribs doing it. Jessica wants an apology from him, delivered in a way that will shame him. He refuses, and she says she will destroy the kidney. Shaun tells her who it is for and asks her to stop. She does not believe him. She smashes the case open and reads the name on it, Derek Wolf, her own fiancé's grandfather.

Episode 1 might make you go "what IS this lunatic" and bail. He's my favorite short-drama actor and even I hesitated. Please stay with it!! The acting is unreal, the way his eyes go, the way he smiles, each one gets me >_<
