01x06 - Mr. Skylight

Post by bunniefuu »

Good bye.

Okay. Here you go.

Having fun?

Isn't this more fun?

Pour for f*ck's sake.
Uncork that sh*t.

Listen, now.

What the hell are you
doing, you f*cking Russian?

Move! f*cking drunk.
He ruined my suit.

Calm down.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Listen. We need this deal.

We're so f*cking close.

It will cut all our costs.

Admin, logistics,
and labor costs.

Blah, blah, blah.

Cut it out.

You know what...

Will you listen to me?!

No, I won't.

We will also give
something back.

No. You listen to me.

Let's toast... Don't
drink before you toast!

It's bubbling over. Cheers.

Hey, look me in the
eye when you toast.

That's how you do
it. Right? Cheers.

Now, drink. Look
me in the eye.

That's it. Pretty good.

Now I'm going to lean back and
watch this nice dance show.

Look. Take a look at this.

Nothing to see there.

Come on! Just read it!

There's nothing to see there.

Stop.

Stop.

Stop bothering her.

Stop it. Just stop!

g*dd*mn embarrassing.

Cool down with some f*cking ice.
- What are you doing?

Are you three years old?

I'm done. Done.

Are you leaving?

Yes, I'm leaving. Grow up!
- I bought champagne!

What?
- I bought champagne!

I have Henri Peltonen
here for you.

THE UNTOLD MISTAKES
OF THE ESTONIA CREW

He can see you now.

Okay, thank you.

Hi.

The German shipyard will
apparently do anything.

I haven't read it, but...

I think you should take it
with a large pinch of salt.

Did you find the
Finnish documentation?

No, not yet.

Erik suggested that
I speak with you.

Any idea why?

Come along.

Are you okay?

Morphine.

I gave the Germans my copies.

All the material?

Yes.

Does anyone else
know about this?

No.

Surely, you must have realized
that the Germans would use it?

They'll do anything to avoid
being held accountable.

I want people to know the truth.

The truth...

While you go behind our backs?

Is that reasonable?

Hey.

Are you awake?

No.

How's it going?

Hello.

Hi.

What?
- Here's a pen.

Can't you see that
I'm not feeling well?

I'm trying to sleep.

Yes, but I'm thinking that we...

I've thought about every detail.

This is the best
deal we're gonna get.

Let's just sell the whole
thing to the Estonians.

Not this again.

We already discussed
this all evening.

Listen...

Get up.

Get up.
- Cut it out. I don't want to.

Just sign it.

Go to bed.

Our names are in the loan
agreement. Did you think about that?

You're discussing
loans when drunk?

Yeah, but what the
hell... Just sign.

Sign it. We have to act now.

I don't want to. It's no good.

This doesn't really
mean anything.

Where to next?

I don't...

Are we here early?

No, we're right on time.

Knock before you go in.

The general consensus has been that
the chairman should be an Estonian.

How about Mattias Vint?

Vint is resigning.

Rooste allegedly resigned
due to health issues.

He never mentioned any
health issues to us.

Vint was forced to
leave the commission

because of other commitments.

We were never told about those.

They're probably referring
to Vint's ownership in ESCO

which owned half of the Estonia.

Well, that's a fact.
- One we've always known!

And now they're taking
advantage of it, aren't they?

Leaks to the Germans,
reluctance to even

be involved ― how
can we do anything?

Everything alright?

This doesn't make any sense.

Did that help?

Let's take the backstairs.

Faster! Faster! Come on!

You have to get up!

Lucas!
- There's water everywhere.

We need to leave, now!
- Everybody has to get out.

Come on!
- Get your hands off me!

Let's take the stairs
in the back. Come on.

Axel!
- Lucas!

ALARM, ALARM.

ALARM, ALARM.

Go, go!

Lucas! We have to get out now!

We have to get out, now!

ALARM, ALARM.

Lucas, get out!

Lucas!

Do you hear me?

Lucas!

Help, please...
I need help here!

Don't stop now!

Is someone there?

Lucas!

Lucas!

Help me, please!

Help!

Help!

I can't get out of
here, please help me!

Take my hand!

Grab it!

Come on!

You have to help me!

Help me!

Come and help me!

We can't!

Help me!

Come on!

Come on!

I'll lower you down.

Take his hand! Take him now!

Get out of the way!

Hold on to me!

Hold on to my legs!

Get him up!

Help my mother! Help her!

Help my mother! Help!

Come on, then!

Come on!

Micha!

We have to take the main stairs.

We have to go back!

We have to go now! Come on!

Lucas, come on!

Come on!

We have to get out of here!

Take my hand!

We all knew Jörgen as a
very hard-working man.

Always diligent and in my
view, extremely dedicated.

Never afraid to debate an issue.

I remember when Jörgen
worked on a large procurement

for the Maritime Administration who
were upgrading their helicopters.

What he did was

he got a helicopter license
and learned to fly one himself.

To me, that was Jörgen
Berglund in a nutshell.

We can't continue
without a chairman.

The Estonians are unwilling.

I'm guessing that

who we have in mind won't
come as a surprise to you?

How would the Estonians feel
about a non-Estonian chairman?

Are you aware of the current
state of our investigation?

Let's just say that I'm interested
in discussing the chairmanship.

How long are you in Stockholm?

I want to show you something.

THE SWEDISH MARITIME
ADMINISTRATION

How is this important?

It's a report about why extra
attention should be paid

to the production of certain vessel
hulls sent to the German shipyard.

It's dated 1959.

Yes.

In 1979, when the Estonia
had been completed

some ship or shipyard engineers

felt that Shirmerwerk had failed
to react properly to that report.

It was sent to me at the very
beginning of our investigation.

So, three years ago?

Yes, three years ago.

Why is it important now?

Because some engineer
contacted the press.

But there's nothing here

that we don't already know.

Read between the lines.

Is there something there?

Or maybe next to the lines.

I have an interview.

Let's continue this later.

Hi! Welcome.
- Hi. Erik.

Let's get you a mic over here.

Hi.
- Hi.

Hi.
- Hi.

In here?

Yes, in here.

Are you also a part
of the Commission?

Yes.

I hear you're under a lot of pressure
with the investigation, and now this?

This can't be that bad?

Is the camera rolling?

Well, lying about sensitive
issues could easily erode trust.

You can sit here.

Didn't you already know
about the document from

the Maritime Administration.

You received it quite a
long time ago, didn't you?

Yes.

As in yes, you received it?

Yes.

And you lied about it?

Yes.

May I ask...

Why did you lie about it?

Well, I have asked
myself that question

many times.

I really don't
have a good answer.

So... No, I don't know why
I felt the need to do that.

Perhaps under heavy pressure
you make intuitive choices.

Fast and, at times... rash.

I guess I thought that this letter
wasn't worth spending much time on.

Clearly, I should
have just said that.

Instead, I decided to say that
I didn't know anything about it

which, obviously, was
very, very stupid.

Are we done?

Yes.

Thank you.

Great. Thank you.

Good Lord.

What just happened?

I don't know.

I don't know.

You know what? I...

I don't even remember
lying about that letter.

I've been

so buried in work I
can't even remember it.

It can't be a
coincidence that they

got this information
right now, can it?

You know what?

People only want one
single, simple, and

logical explanation
for this disaster.

But the reality is

that it was the result of
many tragic circumstances.

You'll never make
them all add up.

Bad weather...

going too fast...

the bow visor fell off...

Did the Germans leak the letter?

Out! Out!

We have to get out!

What?
- Out on deck!

I can't!

Jump!

Take him!

Take the boy!

All out of the ship!

Life jackets!

There's only one.

Put it on the boy!

What!
- We need more life jackets!

I'll go and look.

Lucas, get down here!

Coming!

Wait!

Wait!

Wait!

Are you awake?

Lucas!

Lucas!

If my body was down there

would you want them to
lift me out of the sea?

But you're not down
there, thank God.

Did you know that in that area

fishermen have been catching
a lot more lampreys lately?

Yes.

I knew that.

What is it?

It's nothing.

I thought my calculation
skills would be more useful.

When Toukola called
Technical Research Centre

the first time, I thought

it's calculation skills
that would count the most.

But in the end, it's hardly
anything to do with calculations.

I haven't done

a single calculation
in a long time.

Are you saying all this
has been for nothing?

Not necessarily

but not that useful
either, for sure.

I could have been doing
something more useful instead.

It won't take much
longer, I promise.

Okay?

Our people have gone
through at least

two thousand binders but
we've found nothing worth

mentioning on the
modifications to the Estonia.

My best guess is that

we gave the documents to the
Estonians when we sold them the ship.

Now the Estonians

have filed them away iso
well they can't be found.

I thought I'd go
back to square one.

Start with the calculations we did
on the morning of the accident.

Is that so?

That might be a smart move.

Meanwhile, someone needs to keep
the commission up and running.

What if...

Finland took the lead?

I got the hint already.

And I'll take a few moments
cleaning these lenses

before giving you an answer.

It's been three years now.

I'm in charge of the accident
investigation centre.

I can no longer solely
focus on the Estonia alone.

I have to investigate
other accidents too.

You're leaving?

Yes I am.

You're quitting?

Yes I am.

How did we end up
in this situation?

Shouldn't we still be trying to
find out why the Estonia sank?

Well...

If you think about it

we've really only been listening
to the stories of the survivors.

Those stories can all be found in
newspapers, on TV and the radio.

They're the ones
we've been collecting.

But then there are

the other 800 stories

there's no one around
to tell anymore.

And no matter how
much we investigate

we'll never get to
hear those stories.

In fact, most of the
stories will never be told.

The report doesn't need me

Rooste or Claesson.

With those documents, you
can plug some small leaks.

What if you didn't care about

all the background noise

the constant messages from the
Germans the Swedes' insinuations

and all the sidetracks.

What if you were

only answerable to
those eight hundred?

And not to anybody else.

Lucas!

Lucas!

Lucas!

Lucas!

Lucas!
