01x03 - Dog Day Night

[bunniefuu]

[breathing heavily]

[menacing music playing]

Is the phrase "revolution or death"

finally making sense to you, Pirateque?

In two hours, the captain dies.

Fifteen minutes later, Edilma dies.

And 15 minutes after that,

this turns into a slaughterhouse.

You have two hours to bring me the money.

Even God can't bring that money

within two hours.

[on radio] You shut your mouth!

Well, you can sh**t your g*ns

all you want.

No matter how badly

I want to bring you that money,

the airport's closed.

Not a soul flies out before 4:00 a.m.

If you want your cash,

you'll have to wait until 6:00 a.m.

In two hours, you'll look like

the coward that m*rder*d me for nothing.

Or how about you just patiently

wait those 11 hours for it to be 6:00?

You'd appear honest, because at least

you'll have given them a chance.

[tense music playing]

6:00 a.m., Pirateque.

Not a minute more.

6:00 a.m.

6:00 a.m.

Revolution or death.

[ominous music playing]

Everyone, no more first class in here

effective immediately.

Now, you're just one of the people.

To the back, go! Now!

Everyone to the back!

My good sir, the fight for social class

- [Ulises] Enough of this bullshit!

- Look, man, I'm just doing my job.

- You've got to let somebody report

- [Ulises] Did I not make myself clear?

You'll be next if you don't cut

the bullshit right now, m*therf*cker.

Stay here!

It's all right, Edie. It's all right.

- It was all my fault.

- No!

- I m*rder*d that man.

- You didn't m*rder anyone.

[Ulises] Put your hands

on the f*cking seat!

[Toro] Come on.

[crying softly]

[Bárbara] Edie

- [Wilches] Edilma.

- Captain, I'm so sorry.

- Please, I beg you to forgive me.

- No, no, no. Calm down.

Look at me.

- [sobs]

- Look at me.

What they did to that man

is not your fault.

The government

and the airline abandoned us.

No one is going to save us,

but we mustn't sit here like lambs

waiting to be gutted,

beheaded, and butchered.

We need to get everybody out of here

before these two

f*cking psychopaths m*rder us all.

[crying]

But I need to you to be present and sharp.

I am not planning on being k*lled today,

and neither should you.

Edie.

Repeat after me.

We're not going to die here today.

We're not going to die here today.

[Wilches] Repeat after me.

We're not going to die here today.

We're not going to die here today.

We're not going to die here today.

We're not going to die here today.

Now, I need you

to find a way to free my hand.

I trust you.

[ominous music playing]

[crying softly]

[Bárbara] What?

Time to find a way off this f*cking plane.

THE HIJACKING OF FLIGHT 601

CHAPTER 3

DOG DAY NIGH

[Manchola] He's here, he's here.

- [footsteps approaching]

- [door opens]

Doctor! How are you doing?

Doctor, can you believe

I extended the money delivery until

until 6:00 a.m.

I said it before

and I'll repeat it now, Pirateque.

That shitshow out there is Pastrana's.

He's already negotiating

with the Dutch government

on the possibility

of military involvement.

Doctor, are we just

going to sit back and do nothing

while everybody gets k*lled?

I didn't say we just sit back!

What's wrong with you?

You, take that and put it in the payroll

safebox where it belongs right now.

Yes, sir.

You listen very carefully,

as I will say this once, Aristides.

The council is meeting tomorrow.

If you still harbor in your heart

the hope of keeping your title,

I need you out there.

Put that pathetic face of yours on,

go and speak to the families

of the hostages,

and clean up the name of Aerobolivar.

[menacing music playing softly]

[door opens]

[door closes]

[reporter on radio] Apparently,

g*nshots and explosions have been heard

from inside Aerobolivar flight 601.

They were were hijacked 13 hours ago

by members of a subversive group.

We'll continue to update

as soon as we have more

Why are you awake still?

I don't feel well.

Please check my temperature on this.

All right.

[coughs]

Where is my mommy?

In Cúcuta.

- You're 40 degrees.

- That means I have a fever, right?

[whining] I want my mommy!

[gasps softly]

There's something wrong with the kids.

- [Bárbara sighs]

- We must find a way out of here now.

- What's wrong with you? Sit down!

- I feel it, Bárbara.

Something's off! I know something's wrong!

Your kids are fine, Edie.

It's time to find a way out.

- [Bárbara] Breathe.

- [menacing music playing softly]

[Edilma whispers] Bárbara

- What are you doing? What are you doing?

- Just a minute.

I know it's here.

DIMENHYDRINATE

ANTIHISTAMINE

Ms. Drowsy left these behind.

- [crowd clamoring and shouting]

- [man] Please, show some respect to us!

We're doing everything we can!

[clamoring and shouting continues]

No, the government

demanded we turn over a few details

[man] What details?

Stop bullshitting us and tell us

why shots were heard inside the plane!

You people don't know squat!

You're wasting time

when you should be helping them!

I want to inform you

that the airline will no longer be part of

the negotiations with the hijackers

[crowd clamoring and shouting]

[Pirateque] The government has decided

to take matters into their own hands.

- [man] This is ridiculous!

- [clamoring continues]

- Aerobolivar

- [clamoring continues loudly]

[man] You're responsible for their safety!

Aerobolivar feels your pain

and sympathizes with you all

[woman] No, no, no! Nonsense!

Just a moment, sir.

Is one of your children

on that hijacked plane?

- [man] Ha! No, of course not.

- Or maybe a brother?

Is your mother

being held hostage on that plane?

Then don't say you sympathize with us!

Have some decency!

- [crowd clamoring]

- [woman] How are you gonna help us?

Go on, tell me!

What's the plan according to you? Tell me!

- What do you have to say for yourself?

- [clamoring continues]

How are you going to help us, sir?

- [voices continue muted]

- [woman] Say something!

What a f*cking joke.

[crowd clamoring and shouting]

[voices fades into background]

[voices continue muted in background]

[dark music playing]

[crowd yelling and shouting]

[lock clanging]

[Wilches] Ulises

- [Ulises] Now what do you want?

- Some food.

Some food and water for the passengers.

We'll need to hand out food

if you want them here overnight.

- At the moment, we're non-operational.

- Is scaring them not enough?

Having everyone here all night,

knowing they'll get m*rder*d.

[Ulises] That's not on me.

It's your president and your government

who'd prefer to see them die

instead of recognizing the injustice

So you'll starve everyone

to prove your point?

What happened to

"Latin America being hungry"?

This plane is hungry.

I'm hungry. You're hungry.

Or is "being hungry" some phony story

to scam your own people?

Some food and water.

No more. They can leave it

on the runway where no one can see.

No one must come close.

You know what's gonna happen

if you try to fool us again.

- [metal clangs loudly]

- [combination lock winding]

[metal clanging]

- [lock winding]

- [Pirateque] Seventy-four

- Hmm?

- [metal clanging]

- [door opens and slams]

- Have you lost your mind or what?

These numbers

aren't playing nice, Manchola.

[chuckling]

Please help me get this open.

Are you an idiot?

If I open that safe for you,

we are both going straight to jail!

I I'm sorry, but this is as far as I go.

Mancholita, don't do this.

Don't play hard to get.

Give me the f*cking combination.

The last time I did what you asked me to,

a man got k*lled.

Your drinking is pushing you

into the abyss, and I won't follow you.

No, my drinking's fine.

It's true. I'm just a little drunk.

But, anyway, aren't drunks and kids

the only ones

brave enough to tell the truth?

Brave enough to admit

that we were blinded by our own ambition?

No!

No!

I didn't do this for ambition. I did it

[sighs]

- To

- Hmm?

Because

Because I wanna be with you.

[stifling tears]

Mancholita

Mancholita

don't cry.

That safe there

holds the opportunity to honor

the life we lost on flight 601, yes.

That man died because of us.

Hmm?

This is our opportunity to do something

to save those condemned to die.

And to save our souls as well, right?

Right?

Hmm?

Right?

[metal clangs]

Now, we've gotta come up

with a way for you to get this money

all the way to Aruba,

but safely, without any obstacles.

No, we're airmailing this.

That's how we get it there.

But you're taking it, not me.

You know I can't fly

with my medical condition.

Being afraid

is not a real medical condition!

You're telling me,

after that speech you just made,

you're gonna chicken out?

[menacing music playing]

ARUBA CATERING

[Toro] Get down, get down, get down.

Go get that and come right back.

You try anything

and I'll m*rder another hostage.

Sorry, but I can't lift heavy things.

That woman wounded

my hand just now in the altercation.

And I'm afraid I can't lift that alone.

- I'll need a man to help me.

- Do several runs, then.

Lequerica? Lequerica can help me out.

He's a strong guy. Let him do it.

[Ulises] Hands up! Keep your hands up!

Bárbara found enough Tramadol

to put a bear to sleep for a week.

I sleep like a baby,

even through a highjacking.

It's not for you, Lequerica!

Tell the captain we're

knocking them out, all right?

I've got the manual with instructions

to open the hatch in the back.

[Ulises] Move it!

[bottles clinking]

Here we go. Section two.

It's on page 250. It's a tech manual.

- Explains it very clearly.

- Technical?

- Yeah.

- I'm not an engineer.

- What?

- I'm not an engineer.

- Huh?

- I'm not an engineer!

Doesn't matter!

Just follow the little drawing.

An image is worth

more than a million words.

[Ulises] Hurry up!

People are starving in here!

- [Edilma] Sure.

- [thrilling music playing]

[g*n c*ck]

[thrilling music continues]

[thrilling music continues]

- [thrilling music building]

- [indistinct chatter]

[Edilma] Enjoy you're meal.

[music stops]

[indistinct chatter]

[Edilma] Here, sir, enjoy your meal.

- [Bárbara] Well, uh, may I continue then?

- [man 1] Thank you, Edilma.

- [Bárbara] Thank you.

- [man 2] Miss, please. Over here.

What the hell is this?

Some bread and cheese?

You said "sandwich."

Come on, give me another one, at least.

That's all there is.

[tense music playing]

Once the seatbelt sign goes on,

run to the back. We're all escaping.

[man] All right.

Once the seatbelt sign goes on,

run to the back

because we're all escaping.

- Thanks.

- Once the seatbelt sign goes on,

run to the back

because we're all escaping.

All right?

What do you want?

[sighs] I'm sorry.

It's a habit I've had since childhood.

[Ulises] What habit?

I like trying to read faces.

Oh yeah?

Can you read mine?

[tense music playing softly]

Do you really wanna wanna know?

It reminds me of a song.

That Sandro song

about the boy with the sad face.

No?

It's a song about a really sad boy

who feels alone in his pain and

nobody knows his story

and nobody ever will.

Ever.

Don't know that one.

Is your partner gonna eat something?

[Ulises] Hey, partner!

Eat something.

[grave music playing]

[thrilling music playing]

[thrilling music continues]

What you think you see isn't sadness.

You wake up hungry back where I come from,

always an empty stomach.

The only thing in your stomach is rage.

- Not sadness.

- [Wilches chuckling]

What's so funny?

Well, I'm laughing because,

believe it or not,

I also know

what it feels like to be hungry.

[Ulises laughs dryly]

My mom had nine mouths to feed

with my dad's lousy

insurance seller's paychecks.

I know what it's like to go to bed hungry.

But I never woke up feeling angry.

I felt a drive to get up

and make money to buy food.

[thrilling music continues]

So, you're like the brother

I never had, is that it?

Did my mother abandon you

in the same place she abandoned me? Huh?

All I was trying to say

was that everything in life is a choice.

It's your choice to eat the world

or let the world eat you and spit you out.

It's not like that where we're from.

If you're hungry, you've got two options.

You find a ball and learn to play soccer

even better than Pelé,

or you get one of these

and do what you can.

Or you wake up early and study

and serve five years in the Air Force

to be where I'm sitting.

That thing in your hand, that weapon,

is for the ones who don't wake up early.

This is for those of us who are unwilling

to accept the shitty hand we were dealt.

There are other ways out,

but to get there

you need to work your a*s off.

[thrilling music playing]

[music fading]

[Bárbara] What if it's

not that simple, Captain?

So what if you actually do

get the sh*t end of the stick in life?

Then what, huh?

Wake up even earlier,

say your prayers,

and study harder

to avoid becoming an outsider

or an assassin.

What was that, you piece of sh*t?

Huh?

[Lequerica] Hey, no, no, no!

- [Ulises] Toro, let him go!

- [Toro] What did you say?

- [Lequerica] Let go of him!

- [Toro] Huh? Tell me! Say it again!

Say it again, as*h*le!

[metal clatters loudly]

I've broken my back my whole life,

you as*h*le!

- [Wilches coughing]

- [Ulises] Let it go! Calm down!

- [in Guaraní] I'm going to k*ll him!

- [in English] Enough!

- [in Guaraní] Don't say more!

- [in English] Stop it now!

[menacing music playing]

[Ulises] Where's the other stewardess?

- Go find her.

- [Toro] Get out of my way!

- [Bárbara yelps]

- Hey, stewardess!

[menacing music intensifies]

[shouting] Hey! Stewardess!

[metal clattering]

[music stops]

Get out of here.

[tense music playing]

- [tense music continues]

- [rain pattering]

[vomiting]

- [Boris cries] No! It's too cold!

- [shower running]

No, hold still. It's good for you.

It'll bring your fever down.

There.

[crying]

[whining] But I don't want to!

[watch ticking]

[Lequerica snoring softly]

Stay alert, I'm going to the bathroom.

[grave music playing]

Captain Wilches.

[grave music continues]

- [chair squeaking]

- [Wilches grunting softly]

[metal rattling]

- [grunts]

- [wrench clatters]

[exhales]

[tense music playing softly]

[exhaling heavily]

[tense music continues]

[whispers] He's asleep now.

Great.

[Bárbara] Captain, the signal.

I still can't get myself loose.

[tense music continues]

[grunts]

[seat clangs]

Captain, the signal!

Just a moment.

Captain, the signal!

[chair rattling]

[wood snaps loudly]

- [Lequerica] What was that?

- Shh, shh, shh!

[footsteps approaching]

[Toro] Go to the back.

With your friend.

[knock on door]

Yeah?

Yeah, okay.

[Toro] What's the matter?

We're both dozing off a bit.

Throw some water on your face.

I think we're gonna

need more than some water.

[darkly intriguing music playing]

[sniffing]

[both sniffing]

I saw them snorting coke.

We're really f*cked now.

I don't know, but I have

a bad feeling about those two.

Like they're hiding something.

Have you seen how they talk?

It makes me wonder

if they're really guerrillas.

That frightens me even more, actually.

[darkly intriguing music continues]

[Edilma] They did some drugs.

- They're never gonna fall asleep.

- [Wilches] Then we'll do it the hard way.

You get someone to help you

with the guy in the back.

We'll take the one in the front.

[expectant music playing]

We need help from the cyclists.

Thank you.

What are you doing?

The f*ck are you doing?

I was collecting the garbage.

This plane is a mess.

So you wanna play maid

and get shot in the head?

You're so indoctrinated that all you

know to do is serve people and clean?

[Toro] What's the matter?

Back to the front.

[expectant music continues softly]

TAKE CARE OF THE ONE IN THE BACK

[man] "Grab the guy who's in the back."

MANGEL ALTO BEACH, ARUBA

Evening, sir.

May I perhaps humbly

enlist your assistance with

Not understand, mister. I'm sorry.

I bet you understand this?

Your time's almost up, Captain.

In 20 minutes, you're a dead man.

- [Toro] Partner!

- [tense music playing]

Their time is almost up.

Don't you get cold feet, now.

Revolution or death.

- Hmm?

- Excuse me, can I maybe

- [Ulises] Who told you you could stand up?

- Look, my subversive friend.

I need to tell you something.

My luggage below

- I don't care. Get back in your seat.

- Now!

- Now, now, now! Get it! Now!

- [man] Please, listen.

I have 423 baby chicks below,

and those little b*stards might die on me.

- Sir, please! Please, sir, I just need

- Quiet!

[man]to get out and save them.

I beg you, sir.

- Please!

- [Ulises] Go back to your seat.

Do you hear me?

[man] Yes, sir, but I'm responsible

for these poor creatures.

If these tiny babies die,

I won't forgive myself!

They're 400 little babies

who don't even have

What part of "quiet" don't you understand?

Huh? He said, "Quiet!"

- [Toro grunts]

- [Ulises] Calm down! Calm down! Calm down!

He's an old man! Can't you see that?

[Toro] Crazy old man!

[man] Listen, Mr. Subversive,

Let me go.

I'm a retired railroad worker. I just

Want to get off this plane?

You'll get off, all right.

Cold, stiff, and feet first.

Understood?

This is the last time I'm telling you.

- Shut up and go back to your seat!

- [whispers] Chucho.

- Go back to your seat.

- [man whimpers] Yes, sir.

- Go back to your seat!

- [whimpers] Yes, sir!

Move.

[thrilling music playing]

[thrilling music continues]

[thrilling music building]

- [music stops]

- [horn honking]

Sit down! Hey, partner!

Heads up, someone's coming.

- [honking continues]

- [Pirateque] I'll solve this!

Save these people, we'll head back

to your place to celebrate!

[honking]

[Pirateque] Ulises! Wilches!

Tell Ulises to come down!

No more radio.

I want see him with my own eyes.

Yeah, I

- [Ulises] Sit down.

- [Pirateque faint] Tell him to come down!

- Where's Ulises?

- I'm Ulises.

Don't come any closer!

I said don't move!

I told you not to get any closer!

- You're Ulises?

- Yes.

[chuckles] My God, you're a child.

- May I speak with your father, please?

- Come closer, and I'll blow your head off!

Put your hands up.

Who are you?

Ulises, I'm Pirateque.

I have your money here.

[ladder clattering]

Are you someone I can trust?

Go on.

He's giving the other girl something.

It's a big bag, look.

You were right, Captain Latin America.

The early bird does get the cash.

[indistinct chatter]

[Toro yells] What's going on? Nobody move!

You, sit down! Sit down!

I said sit the f*ck down!

[ladder clatters]

[angelic music playing]

[Bárbara] There's $50,000 here,

and he's got three more bags like this.

He'll hand over another bag

for every five hostages you liberate.

That's the deal.

So you owe him five hostages.

[angelic music continues]

[exclaims in disbelief]

[kisses]

[Ulises] Revolution or death,

son of a b*tch!

- Revolution or death, you son of a b*tch!

- [both laughing]

Revolution or death, you son of a b*tch!

- [both laughing]

- [angelic music continues]

- [man 1] This is it!

- [man 2] We're getting out of here!

[hijackers laughing]

[angelic music continues]

We gotta release them in fives.

You choose.

[Toro] You.

You as well.

Not you. You, too.

And you as well.

All right, Captain.

Smell this money?

This will help us build

a whole new world now.

[mocking] We'll be happy and free,

you'll still get up at the crack of dawn!

But don't worry.

I'll give you

a pretty handsome tip, Captain.

Because you've done a formidable job.

I'd like to thank you,

you did a wonderful job as our chauffeur.

[dramatic music playing]

- [Richard] You guerrilla piece of sh*t!

- [Bárbara] Captain, what are you doing?

They already brought the money!

They were about to release us!

Freed myself, man!

Now I'm out!

[softly] No

- [Lequerica] No, no, no!

- No, don't k*ll him!

- [g*n firing]

- [Lequerica] Ahh!

Don't move, son of a b*tch!

- Come on!

- [Pirateque] Wilches, what's going on?

Ulises! This is my fault, stop!

Start the engines!

Start the f*cking plane now!

- Do as you're told!

- Suck my big c*ck.

Start the plane or I'll sh**t the fat guy!

Start the plane!

No, no, no, no, no!

- Start the engines now!

- [g*n fires]

Ahh! Ahh!

Ahh!

Start the plane right now

or I'll blow his f*cking head off!

The next b*llet's in his head!

Start the engines right now!

- Do it now, now, now!

- [Lequerica] Ahh!

[Ulises] What are you waiting for?

[Lequerica sobbing]

Stop, stop, stop!

Here's the money, take it!

[Toro choking] You f*ck!

[Edilma] Hurry!

- [Toro groaning]

- Who's the boss now, b*tch?

It's okay, just go! Get out of here!

I'll keep this f*cking b*stard here!

- No!

- Get out of here!

[passengers clamoring indistinctly]

You crazy sh*t!

Let him go, m*therf*cker!

You stay still, you son of a b*tch!

Even though it's inspired

by real facts and people,

some characters, incidents, places,

dialogues and names are fictitious.

Any similarity to reality

is for dramatic purposes.
