01x03 - Vastarinta

[bunniefuu]

We're going to have

a feast tonight.

We haven't caught anything yet.

Then let's stay all

day until we do.

Your work phone is ringing.

But today's your day off.

You said it wouldn't happen this

time, that today was just for us.

You promised to spend

Midsummer with us.

Look,

I'll be back in no time.

The target hasn't

responded to our comms.

They were mad when I left.

They'll forgive you by

the time you get home.

Take positions. We're

above the target.

The landing zone is clear.

Lock and load.

Crow - Whiskey, tango.

Permission to fire

when necessary.

Drop the rope.

Alpha landing.

Rope detached.

Show your hands!

Finnish Defence Forces!

Show me your hands!

Get on the ground.

Who's the captain?

I am.

Goblin-1, Wolverine-10,

We found more people.

Strike team confirms

the bridge is secured.

Three enemies, armed.

They didn't resist.

Continue the sweep.

Stop! Lower your weapons!

Move!

Front clear!

Behind is clear. Contact.

What happened? Did your g*n jam?

Did your g*n jam?

Manner, are you okay?

These happen. That's

why we have a team.

It was a good save.

I'm glad there's no

alligators in here.

Nah bro, here we

have huge mosquitoes.

Shut up.

Look who's back online.

- Osman, f*ck off.

- Me? You f♪♪♪ed up!

You blew our cover.

I take full

responsibility for it

But it was either sh**t

our way out or surrender.

I did what I thought was right.

- You picked the one to get us k*lled.

- None of us are dying today.

Let's get out of the open.

The ship was

recovered an hour ago.

The hijackers surrendered.

- Any losses?

- None of ours.

Madame president

Russia's naval combat division

has set off from Kaliningrad.

Towards Finland?

The US Ambassador is

coming to your Residence.

What about the Russians?

- They're preparing a statement.

- Of course.

- Is the Prime Minister invited?

- Yes.

The whole idea of being over here,

honouring my family's heritage

just seems so f*cking stupid.

You know, leaving

my wife. My kid.

Folks back home

will be worrying.

This will definitely

be in the news.

Hundred percent.

They'll have more info about

this than us. That's for sure.

That's Spanish.

Why would Russian soldiers

speak Spanish to each other?

They're not Russian.

They're mercenaries.

We need to keep moving.

Russia denies any involvement.

They've offered to send

troops to assist us.

They are concerned about Russian

citizens trapped inside the area.

Right.

Of course that is their

official position.

And, they offered to send troops

to assist us. How do we respond?

Decline diplomatically.

Assure them,

the safety of the Russians

here is our priority.

- Make me a draft of the statement.

- Yes madame.

The EU parliament is "deeply

concerned.” They're

demanding an update.

Tell the Foreign Minister's

team to handle it.

Okay.

Why are we both in this

meeting, and no one

is in talks with the

Russian Ambassador?

- Afternoon, Bill.

- Madame President.

- Long time no see.

- Good to see you Prime Minister.

- This way, please.

- Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you for showing up

on such a short notice.

Always at your service,

madame President.

Finland is under attack

and this is phase one.

I've read your brief.

I also have my own

intelligence reports.

Admiral Adler and I

have exchanged views,

and I take that you were aware

of the larger picture at hand?

I believe so, yes.

The Russians are

eager to send troops

to help us take back

the conflict area.

So that there wouldn't

be any NATO involvement.

Well, that doesn't sound

like a serious conversation.

No, but you must see the irony in

these very tragic circumstances.

Are you a fan of irony, Bill?

How shall I put this

madame President

From our perspective, this

is still a local dispute.

Yes and that's why

I have emphasized

the importance of a

diplomatic approach.

We need to get a proper

line of communication.

Could you please explain to me how

you see this as a local dispute?

Well, the area is small

and this territorial

renting business isn't

uncommon in this region.

- It's happened before, right?

- Yes.

85 years ago.

After a World w*r.

As we just heard the

Prime Minister is

leaning towards a

diplomatic solution.

We are all to believe

that this crisis

is best resolved

through negotiations.

It's peace. Peace is

of the essence here.

Yes. My sentiments exactly.

What kind of a message

do you want to send

to other small nations

in Europe and NATO,

Madame President, the

world has changed.

American policies are

shifting too. We have

to keep our eyes on

the bigger picture.

- Could you be more specific?

- In the grander scheme of things

This is just a

speck of an incident

It bears no real consequences.

If, that is you, deal

with it appropriately.

And indeed we will.

What hasn't changed is that

we are a civilized country.

A country known for our

diplomacy and negotiation skills.

Why not use them?

This is a proxy group.

They have military officers

in their ranks from Russia.

Yes, they are mercenaries,

but this is Russian-led.

Well, that may be

your assumption.

They want to have a proxy

w*r here in Finland.

How do you still spin this

into an interior matter?

Whoa whoa whoa, hold it.

Nevertheless, we have to make

Speak when it's your turn

mister Prime Minister.

Okay, well

I hear your concerns.

Obviously we're not big

fans of Russia either.

We have to reassess this

situation from our perspective.

For this administration, our

foremost concerns are in the Pacific.

Okay.

We don't have time to

reassess anything. I'm

sorry, but I really

don't have time for this.

I think we're done.

- Good day.

- You too.

This is not the way

things are done.

You're crossing a line. The

parliament is in charge. Not you.

Don't think being on the cover

of Time magazine changes that.

- I'm the leader of the Defense Forces.

- This is not a military operation.

We are being invaded and blackmailed.

If this is not w*r, what is?

This is a police matter.

They may seem aggressive but

I doubt they're real soldiers.

They're probably just

ideologues who

So you want to negotiate

with t*rrorists?

No

Oh, but you do. That's

how you've always done it.

But I'm not going to back down.

Have a peaceful day. Let's go.

They're stealing our vessels.

They have our uniforms.

But they're not Finns.

Let's try again.

Circle back to the

training ground.

2 minutes.

Deployed twice in one day

On a holiday.

Not how you thought you'd

spend your midsummer?

I was supposed to be

naked in the lake.

With a brew in your hand, right?

Don't tempt me.

They left the keys inside.

Berg, our current

location is here.

We should take this road

and follow it northeast.

- What do you think?

- Let's do it.

- Whoa

- What the f*ck?

Jesus, is that a f*cking

- They might not see us.

- It doesn't have any payload.

I'll go fix this

sh*t real quick man.

- Don't go.

- What the hell are you

Osman, what are you doing?

Oh my god. Now they know

exactly where we are!

- Go!

- We're so f*cked man!

Berg come on, we got

to get out of here

and we got to get

out f*cking fast.

- sh*t.

- f*ck, they found us!

f*ck!

- Berg, go faster!

- Osman, read the map!

- Oh sh*t!

- Floor it!

- Which way, Osman?

- Look at the f*cking map man!

Berg, turn left!

- Where now?

- Go right!

f*ck man

- They blocked the f*cking path!

- It's a g*dd*mn dead end!

- Where do I go?!

- Turn right!

It's a g*dd*mn beach!

Look out for the sand!

What are you doing? Osman!

What are you doing up there?!

We're hit!

Get out of there!

The car is wrecked!

- I can't hear anything!

- sh*t, are you alright?!

Ditch the vehicle!

Big moment, first

official parliamentary

statement since the news broke.

Are you ready for me?

We've been broadcasting

live all afternoon.

Good.

Can you share your statement in

advance? We'd love to read

You'll hear it live on the

air, same as everyone else.

- Is Finland at w*r?

- No.

Finland is not at w*r.

We interviewed escapees.

They talked about

soldiers coming into

their homes, roadblocks

- You will not be reporting that.

- But But we..

We need to calm the population.

We can't incite fear.

Right?

Good.

Good.

- Looks good.

- Thank you!

What about the bulletproof vest?

I don't need it here.

Plus it's bad optics.

Yep. Gives the wrong impression.

We need to contact

Sweden and NATO again.

Okay.

Make sure someone films it.

Films what?

Me. When I'm speaking to the

soldiers. We're going to leak it.

They took our phones.

Not this one. Pick the best ones

and draft me a caption to review.

Alright! Is everyone ready

for Midsummer in the city?

Sure that!

We're sending multiple teams in.

These are our primary targets.

Our men will infiltrate

- and observe the enemy's actions.

- And their approach?

Naval and air force

deployments will draw the

enemy's attention so

our teams can slip in.

Good.

As you ordered, we'll try to

capture high-profile enemy targets.

Good. And keep it quiet.

Cover your faces.

Madame President, the unit

is ready for your briefing.

Good day, soldiers!

Good day, Madame President.

They act like they've

already won. With

their threats and

their propaganda,

using the same, tired tactics

they've used for decades.

But we're not backing

down this time.

You've been chosen for

an extraordinary task.

None of this can

leak to the public.

- Hey, wait for me.

- Keep up, man.

- Hurry up.

- Too bad about our vehicle.

We're trapped!

They have drones. Let's

head deeper into the woods.

I f*cking shot them. Do you

think they'll forget about that?

Go!

- Remember the opening question?

- Yes yes. No worries.

Good.

Stay on your A-game,

people. We're 5 minutes out.

The Prime Minister

is live on TV.

What is this situation

we are faced with?

Your cappuccino.

A state of emergency

has been declared.

A small area has been isolated

from the rest of the country.

Networks and phone lines

are not working there.

What has happened?

There is nothing to

worry about. Finland

has been subjected to

a hybrid operation.

We've been expecting something like

this would happen for some time.

This does sound alarming.

Well yes, there are

armed men in the area.

This is an ill*gal offense

and a criminal act.

Our understanding of the situation

is getting better by the minute.

Who are these intruders?

A t*rror1st group? Russia?

For security reasons,

I can't speak on that.

We are considering all possibilities

until we can identify the intruders.

What is your next

course of action?

We aim to establish a diplomatic

connection with the intruders.

We will know how to

proceed after that.

We won't use force

against the intruders.

Have you been in contact

with the President?

The government is in

charge of the situation.

When we get relevant information

we will update the authorities.

But first, we need

to open a line of

communication with

the parties involved.

I want to repeat once more.

Finland has nothing to worry about.

Thank you Prime Minister

Laavakuru for your time.

Of course, we'll continue

to monitor the situation.

Thank you and have

a peaceful day.

A peaceful day? What the f*ck?

- Were you aware of this?

- We had no idea.

- I want to meet him immediately.

- Of course.

- We need to clean up this mess.

- Yes.

Hey, put it down. It's evidence.

What happened here?

The Finnish

paramilitary attacked

local civilians and

security personnel.

State your business.

I'm looking for my daughter.

Head to the line, give your

information. We will help.

Okay. Thank you.

Straight to the line, sir.

Well hello, Che Guevara.

Let's talk in private.

The Prime Minister was merely

trying to keep the public informed.

- The government has a responsibility.

- We're in a state of

Save your talking

points for the press. I

have to speak to the

Prime Minister. Now.

I was trying to prevent this

situation from escalating.

I'm sure we want the same thing.

Don't patronize me. You spend

so much time lecturing me,

but you've overstepped. This

is a state of emergency,

Not the time to

sell your own brand.

Look who's talking.

I am the one trying

to de-escalate

Do you really think we can talk

our way out of this conflict?

Don't oversimplify my role.

I've done this for decades.

You just got here

by posting TikToks.

They've released a

public statement.

First I have to declare that we

want to avoid conflict at any cost.

We are here because Finland is, from

our standpoint, a window to Europe

and at the same time a window

to all the rest of the world.

We have secured the southern

peninsula of Finland

and we want to rent

it for the time being.

Your Prime Minister

was wise to offer

diplomacy as a way to

solve this situation.

But the Finnish military has

conducted an operation in the area.

This operation was conducted by

soldiers in civilian clothes.

That in itself is a w*r crime.

And we have notified

the International

Criminal Court of these actions.

The Finnish soldiers have fired

upon our security personnel,

but also Finnish civilians,

which has resulted

in fatalities.

We urge you, the Finnish people,

to demand that the

Finnish government stops

all ill*gal military

operations in the area.

If such operations occur

we cannot guarantee the

safety of the civilian

population in the area.

The safety of the Finnish

people is our priority.

Thank you for your

attention and good night.

All lies.

Well.

Social media is going wild.

Who permitted this operation?

- Were they your troops?

- No.

I saw pictures of

civilian casualties.

f*ck you, Tim. It's

enemy propaganda.

It's become since, that no Finnish

or NATO troops enter the area.

I have just sent in

reconnaissance teams.

Call them back.

Get them out.

There's a high-profile US

citizen trapped inside.

Yes. My husband's

sister and her family.

No.

Someone of extremely high value.

Somebody whose safety we can

not compromise at any cost.

Who?

His name is Private Williams.

He's the Speaker of

the House's grandson.

Berg, we should wait

for reinforcements.

It's our best option right now.

We don't even know if there are

going to be any reinforcements.

For all we know all of

Finland could be invaded.

Your guys are coming for you.

I really wish I

shared your optimism.

They're not coming for me.

They're not coming for her.

I know who the

f*ck you are, mate.

I googled you, Mr. Williams.

You f*cking b*stard.

- Are you trying to lie to me?

- That's enough guys.

Okay. This place

looks pretty empty.

Well, looks like they

got out of here already.

Maybe they were taken?

- Or maybe they escaped.

- We've got to get some more water.

- Yeah, and some food.

- My feet are k*lling me, man.

A couple of pizzas

wouldn't hurt.

Berg.

We need to get some food. We're

not going to last much longer.

Damn it.

Put the g*n down!

Who are you?

We're Finns.

It doesn't mean anything.

- Name?

- Williams.

Williams, g*ns on the floor!

Immediately!

Now!

What do you want?

We're Finnish conscripts.

We just need some food.

And where is our funny guy?

Maybe he's You know

No I don't know.

Maybe he's what?

You know, like hurt.

Like dead?

I didn't say that.

No, but you f*cking

thought about it.

It's the thought that counts.

Just think happy thoughts.

Come on, funny guy.

Thanks, I'm okay.

Can you communicate

with the outside?

Phones, TV, internet - all down.

All we know is soldiers

came, dressed like you.

They wanted us to leave, but

we told them we couldn't.

Our farm has animals.

Cattle and horses.

We need to take care of them.

Do you know if Finland

has been invaded?

You should know that.

We don't. We've been

busy dodging b*ll*ts.

What is the American

doing with you?

Sorry, am I bothering

you somehow?

No. You're okay, boy.

I'm not okay. None of us are.

You're safe here.

Let's just hope they

don't come back.

Honey, would it be better

if we keep our mouths shut.

Yes.

Order the Knight fleet

to fly towards Hanko.

They will join the Swedes.

Clear.

Knight-1, set cap 10

miles north of Hanko.

The Swedish Gripen to ship

Asgard 1 and 2 will join you.

Knight-1 copy.

Hey! Stop! What

are you doing here?

It's a curfew, what

are you doing here?

I surrender.

Come here.

I'm looking for my family.

Come here.

Set up Sirius.

Sirius activated.

Start operation. The

teams are online.

Clear.

Navy command. Execute

the diversion.

Attention.

The operation must be stopped.

Special forces are

already on the move.

We have provoked them

too much. The enemy will

retaliate if we operate

in the occupied area.

We can't reach them even

if we try. They have

been instructed not to

send or receive signals.

- We have ordered a diversion.

- A diversion?

The Navy and the Air

Force together with

the Swedes will draw

the enemy's attention

while special forces

infiltrate the area.

The diversion and the mission

need to be aborted immediately.

Madame President, unfortunately,

that is no longer possible.

Gripens reported

a m*ssile threat.

- Two stingers launched.

- Asgard-1, stinger defending north.

A m*ssile strike on Asgard-1.

Flares. Flares.

Sams defeated.

Banking out north.

- A m*ssile from the north.

- m*ssile from the north.

- a*tillery.

- Follow target 1008.

a*tillery locked.

- a*tillery, repel.

- Firing, attention.

Number two firing.

- Scatter fire.

- Scattering fire. Direction 010.

Cabin, evasion to the east.

In the recently

published video, the

occupiers have set the

conditions for Finland.

The occupiers

stated that they are

not looking to

escalate the situation,

if Finland holds

off in making any

offensive actions

towards them in the area.

The Prime Minister also stated

in his earlier interview

that they would be looking to

resolve this diplomatically.

Yes. We are now in

charge of the narrative.

And I'm going to make

sure it succeeds.
