Aftermath (2017)
Hey, Jack, those racks
don't go up there. - What do you mean? - They go in the parking lot. The ones with blue plastic go up there. Ah, okay, hey, sorry, I didn't realize. Don't worry, you're fired. By the way, we're gonna miss you tonight. Don't get sentimental on me now. But it won't be the same. Shut up. - We did it. - Roman, have they finished the frame on the 6th floor yet? Yes, and the framing on the 7th floor should be done within the next three hours. The problem with the spokes in the basement? Well, we solved that problem, too. And if you start the enclosures tomorrow morning, we should be one day ahead of schedule. So go home. Why? Well, your family's arriving today, right? Yeah, but they're not flying in until later in the night. So go on, go home. Get everything ready for them, it's a big day. I have everything ready for them. I mean, I have the whole house decked out. Matt, you wouldn't believe it. Welcome signs, everything. Well, you're better off leaving early in case there's traffic. - Well, maybe you're right. - Of course, I'm right! Now go on, get out of here and take tomorrow off. Spend some time with your daughter. Christ, you're gonna be a grandfather. Go on. Do not come tomorrow, i know you. This is wsny and wsny hd Columbus. Merry Christmas from 795! Passenger Jones, please see the ticketing agents at the gate. Please do not leave your luggage unattended, luggage left unattended may be removed... Thank you very much. Hey, man! Excuse me, excuse me, sir. You're a good dancer. - Hi. - Hello, sir. Yeah, I'm waiting for a flight and it says it's delayed, but there's no eta. - It's ax 1-12. - Ax 1-12? Yeah taking off from Kiev, with a lay over in Frankfurt and New York. - Okay? - Ax 1-12? That's right, yeah, I'm sure i didn't write it down wrong. Please come with me. - Thank you. - Take care, sir. - Can you tell me your name? - Roman, Roman melnyk. - Can I see your ID, Mr. melnyk? - Sure. My wife and daughter are arriving. I know all their papers are in order. We have a lawyer so there shouldn't be any problems. I'm sure there wasn't. Around here. Could you just have a seat in here, please? Okay, thanks. Can I get you any water, anything to drink? No, no, thank you. Thank you. Did the plane arrive early? I mean, are they here already? I don't have all the information so I don't want to tell you anything that might not be true. Somebody will be right in to speak with you. Okay. What do you mean? Where are they? I need to see them! Roman melnyk. Where's my family? Um... my name is Eve Sanders and I'm one of the contact people assigned by the airport management office. I need you to listen very carefully to what I have to say. The airplane that your wife and daughter were traveling in has had a very unfortunate accident. There's still no official confirmation, but we need to keep in mind that with this type of accident it's unlikely that we'll find any survivors. It is the worst news that anyone will ever receive. She was pregnant. Olena went to pick her up, to bring her back. Are this address and contact number correct? And are there any other family members we should inform? No - nobody? Not here or in your country of origin? The family support center has been set up at a hotel nearby. You'll have access to medical and psychological treatments and social services. That's also where you'll be updated on any news that comes in. If you'd rather be alone, you can do that there, too. No. I would recommend that you go to the family support center tomorrow, when you're feeling stronger. You also have my email, cell phone and my department's phone number. Please don't hesitate to call me. - Yes. - Very well. Wait, wait, wait... - Did you talk to the plumber? - Shut up! You didn't? There's a toilet in the basement still jammed. Shh, we're gonna wake up Samuel. - I love you. - I love you. - He's out. - You know, when I was a kid, I had this little stuffed bear, his name was ishmael. - Ishmael? - Yeah. That's a weird name for a bear. And when we took trips i always had to take him with me or I wouldn't be able to sleep. This went on 'til much, much later. How much later? 'Til you were 24? 'Til you met me? I don't know. You always say that you can't sleep without me. Yeah, that's true. I just don't know what to think. - What? - Is that all I am to you? Some lousy substitute for ishmael? Hey, being ishmael's substitute is a big honor. I'd do anything for ishmael. Did you have sex with ishmael? I'm late for work. L-r, 5-7-4, turn right on bravo 2-6. - Hey, hey! - Evening. Two sips of that and you'll be running for the bathroom. Yeah? I'll remember you while I'm in the bathroom, if that's what you want. No, no, thanks, I'm not gonna get that out of my head. No, just remember who warned you. - What do we got? - Well, we got to get a snack. - You want anything? - No, I'm good. Thanks, brother. I landed the last one and there's nothing on deck. Canada 8-2-6. Permission to climb and maintain 3-3-0-0. Canada 8-2-6, climb and maintain level 3-3-0. Thank you, Columbus, and good night. Evening. Evening. Na 1-9-7-9 descend to flight level 3-0. Na 1-9-7-9, descending... Hey, what are you doing? Doing some maintenance on the telephone lines. Gonna put it on security mode so it should work fine. Sometimes the signal's a little weak. Just five or six minutes. Tower c, good evening. This is ax 1-12 down for cmh, requesting permission to descend to 10,000 feet. Roger ax 1-1-2, wait for confirmation on that descend. Copy that. Hey, Jacob, Thomas stepped out? What's up? We got an unexpected flight, ef 1-3-5. Had to change its route because of the bad weather. - Headed for Pittsburgh. - Alright, thanks. Go ahead and give that tower the heads up. Connect me with Pittsburgh airport, please. Hello? Ax 1-1-2 permission to descend to flight level 1-0. Thank you. Copy that. Thank you, descending to 10,000 feet. Cmh, this is dh 6-1-6, do you copy? Airbus ef 1-3-5, this is tower c. Ef 1-3-5, good evening. I'm having a problem with the phone lines here and I can't get in touch with Pittsburgh. Cmh, this is dh 6-1-6. We're getting a warning from our tcas telling us to descend. I repeat, the tcas is telling us to descend, do you copy? Tower, this is dh 6-1-6, do you copy? Airbus ef 1-3-5, contact airport directly. I repeat, contact Pittsburgh airport directly. Not a problem cmh, we'll contact Pittsburgh directly, over. Tower, this is dh 6-1-6, do you copy? Ax 1-1-2, descend and maintain flight level 6-0. Descend to 6,000 feet, do you copy? Ax 1-12, descending to 6,000 feet. Tower, we've not heard confirmation from you, but we're gonna go ahead and descend to 6,000 feet. This goddamned phone! Ef 1-3-5, we talked to the airport. Everything's in order. Runway confirmed. Ef 1-3-5, this is tower c, copy that. Ax 1-1-2, ax 1-1-2! Ax 1-1-2! Do you copy? Ax 1-1-2, do you copy? Ax 1-1-2! Hey, Jake, have a seat. Two planes collided in the air at high altitude. Apparently, there's wreckage from both planes in a valley several miles west of the 18. It's unlikely anybody survived. How many dead? We don't know. How many people were on those planes? We don't know, Jake. Oh, my god, how many people are dead? Jake, listen to me. Jake, Jake listen to me. We don't know what happened. No one's accusing you of anything. - I didn't do anything! - We understand, Jake. No one is saying you did anything. We're trying to find out what happened. We need you to keep it together because we gotta figure this out. Do you hear me, Jake? No one's accusing you of anything. We're just doing an investigation... - Listen to me, Jake. - We need your help. It's very important you keep it together, alright? Thank you. Let's go over it all again. Step by step, all right? You arrived at the control room at 22:05. You sat at your station. At approximately 22:20 you stepped out for a cup of coffee. You came back five minutes later. At 22:25 Thomas told you he was gonna take a break and he left his station. At 22:30 flight ax-112 requested permission to descend to 10,000 feet. At 22:33, two technicians entered the control room to do some maintenance work on the phone lines. You went to Thomas' station to process the other planes. You called Pittsburgh, but the phone line wasn't working. Meanwhile, flight ax-112 confirms its new altitude. I'm gonna be a little late picking up Samuel. Can you call me? My sister just called and she heard something on the radio. Can you call me, please? Jake, can you call? Jake, call me back, please! At 22:45 you contact the airbus and tell it to communicate directly with the airport. Without your headphones you never heard flight dh-616 alerting you it was about to descend. Jake. Jake. Don't speak to anyone, okay? Don't answer your phone, don't leave the house, don't go anywhere. We'll speak again tomorrow. Is that clear? Jake. Be strong, buddy. The two planes collided in the air at more than 8,000 feet for reasons that have not yet been determined. Family members are coming to the scene, trying to get any information that they can. Passengers were on board, including the crew. 175 American citizens, 38 German, 37 Russian, 18 French, two Ukrainian and one Spanish. The two airlines involved have released a joint statement regretting the accident and assuring that they are already fully cooperating with investigators in order to clarify what happened. Six on your side reporting, yolanda Harris joining us now, live from the scene of the crash. Yolanda? We're live on the scene of the tragic accident. Yeah? Mr. melnyk, it's Eve Sanders. We spoke yesterday. How are you feeling today? Fine. Were you able to sleep? - Have you rested at all? - Yes. Good. Like I said, I think it might help if you come to the family support center. Trying to find any evidence... In the area Hazmat crews, fire and police are on the scene. The Hazmat crews and the... there are going through the debris... - Hi, are you here to help with the search? - Yes. Are you a relative or friend of any of the victims? No. Alright, can I see some ID please? Yeah, sure. Alright Mr. fox, have you ever been in a similar situation? Ever helped out with other accidents or worked with victims before? - Yes. - Alright, good, do me a favor, read that thoroughly and fill it out. Go wait by the truck, I'll be over in a minute. Thank you. Yeah, hi, are you with him? - Yeah. - Can I see some ID please? Okay, good, do me a favor, join your buddy. Read that and fill it out. Go over by the truck, I'll bring over your equipment in a minute. Nadiya! Nadiya. Nadiya. Nadiya! Olena... nadiya. Sweetie. You know you're not allowed to be out here all alone. - Where's your dad? - I don't know, I haven't seen him since this morning. Come on, is he inside? Hey, man, get up! Come on, man, don't make me call the cops again, let's go. I'm sorry, man, but every time you spend the night out here, i get in trouble. So let's go, let's go. It will probably be frustrating to look for one person to blame, because what happened was much more complicated than that. Daddy? Samuel. What are you doing there? Just watching TV, I can't sleep. Can you not sleep either? I'm not sleepy. I'm hungry. Let's make breakfast. You know... I'm hungry, too. Come on. Who were the people directly involved in the events we have just described? Let's start with the control room. Jake bonanos and Thomas fichman. After analyzing all the information from the black boxes, testimonies from the people involved, evidence found on the sites and all the other data made available to the press, we can arrive at some conclusions... Smell. Mm... green chilies, vinegar, garlic, thyme. I love thyme. First, there was only one air traffic controller in the control room managing the airspace. Jake! I thought we agreed, no news. - Good morning, mommy. - Good morning, Christina. - So early, huh? - Are you hungry? Okay. Alright, dig in. - It's raw. - Hey, what are you doing? - It's raw! - Christina, what are you doing? - Jake, let go. - Christina! - Jake, let go. - What are you doing? - Let... Jake, let go! - Goddammit! It's okay we just spilled it, it's okay. This stops now. You can do this however you have to, but you don't get to do it to him, okay? Do what? We're making breakfast. Come on, back to bed. - Come on. - Stop... You stop! Christina, get back over here! Oh, I don't like you recording me! What is this? Mama, I love it. Thank you, I love you. Mr. melnyk? Mr. melnyk? My name is Tessa corbett, I'm a journalist. I know you're in there. I don't want to bother you, i just came 'cause I wanted to share some of my articles with you. I'm writing a book about the accident and I'd like to ask you a few questions. You'll see from my articles that I'm trying to be faithful and respectful to the facts. Take a look if you get a chance. I'll come back and see what you think. Roman. You haven't answered my calls for days, I thought I'd stop by. Oh, I'm sorry, but my house isn't presentable right now. You haven't seen mine. Hey, my wife made meatballs and she insisted that I bring you some. She makes them with mushrooms, they're awesome. - So, how is work? - Same old. Everything goes a little more slowly without you there. Hey, I don't mean anything by that. You come back whenever you're ready. So, how are you? Are you feeling any better? No. Yes, better. Better, it's just... I need to get organized around here. You know, I need to tie up loose ends. Sure. And I need to get back to work. I just need a little time to settle back in. Well, there's no hurry, Roman. Maybe I should spend less time at the cemetery. The only thing is that nadiya and olena are there. They can't leave. So I go there and visit them, because... They can't go anywhere. They can't. I mean, on the other hand I need to take care of things around here. I need to clean up. I mean, I should be doing things right now. So, I got, I'm sorry, i got to get going. Of course, I'll leave you to it. You take care, Roman. Of course I love you, Jake. I think this is best for Samuel and for us, and I really hope it's best for you, too. - Where is Samuel right now? - He's at my sister's, remember? What, I can't even say goodbye to him? Honey, you don't have to say goodbye. You can see him whenever you want. You don't have to say goodbye. What did you say to him? What did you tell him? I just told him we were gonna spend - a few nights at his aunt's house. - Christina. You know, he loves having the dog and the cats around. He's not gonna understand that. He will, not right now, but he will eventually. We'll just make it normal for him. Jake, I think you just need some time to focus on you. Because if we keep living like this I think we'll just keep hurting each other and, you know, we'll get to a point where i don't know if we can fix it. So we're gonna do this for Samuel. And for us. Okay? Yeah, for Samuel. That's the Springfield armory. Eleven plus one rounds, $674. Three, two-inch berettas, ten plus one rounds, will run you about $570. Now, the two Smith & Wesson models we have, the black m&p, eight plus one rounds, will run you about $560 and the airweight 38 special, it's got more of a classic air and a stainless steel finish, so that's gonna run you about $436. Our cheapest model is the hi point 9 millimeter, $199. Comes with a free pocket knife. Mr. bonanos, can we speak with you for a moment?! Jake. How you doing, Jake? I'm fine, thanks. If it's okay with you guys, I'd like to get straight to the point, I don't wanna keep you waiting any longer. Yeah, sure. So we still don't have a trial date. That will take a while but you know management will provide all the legal coverage you need, so. We're thinking of you, Jake. This is the second time I've offered, but we all agree you could use some psychological support. I know Christina agrees with us on that one. Yeah, right. And as far as work goes, there are several options. You could stay here doing administrative work. Um, I don't know. Or we could also offer you another possibility. Only if you're interested, of course, but the severance package that we could offer you could be very advantageous. Management, they always recommend what's best for the worker but in your particular case, in order to guarantee your safety, it may be in your best interest if you were to consider making a change. A radical change, Jake. The safest isn't just another job, it's another city. Another home. Another name. Another life. That's okay, that's okay. But my... my wife's here. My... my family. I can't just... We can't just up and move, you know? This may potentially be the safest thing to do for you and your family. You really have to consider what we're presenting to you right now. Think about their best interest and their well being. Let me know when he gets back to you, alright. He was supposed to get back to me already. - James. - Mr. melnyk. I don't think you know the lawyers representing the airlines, John and James gullick. I'm sorry to keep you waiting. The meetings with the victims' families have been carrying over these days. That's okay. Allow me to say that most have been very fruitful. Agreements are being reached. Which is why we're here today. To reach an agreement. Mr. melnyk, you are the only family member who has chosen to sue the company by himself, without a lawyer and without signing up with any of the victims' associations. I'd like you to know that you have our complete respect and that to us it makes no difference. Our proposal will be exactly the same. James. Mr. melnyk, this is the framework agreement we're proposing to the families. I would like to just... It's a friendly agreement between you and the airline in which you agree to withdraw all claims and lawsuits from the company. Now, in exchange, the company will take care of your family's funeral expenses and any medical or psychological treatment that may have been deemed necessary to date. The company also agrees to pay you damages in the amount of $75,000 for your daughter's death and $85,000 for your wife's. - $160,000 in total. - I would like to just... There are also some minor clauses in the contract. For example, you will automatically receive premium client status from the airline within our group. You'll be able to benefit from those and other advantages. These are details that you should read carefully because they are clearly explained in the contract. I would like for someone to say that they're sorry for killing my family. I want the company to apologize. Mr. melnyk, let me explain this to you a little more simply. If you don't sign this contract, you're probably not gonna get a penny for all of this. Now $160,000 is a lot of money. Someone in your position shouldn't turn down such an offer. Look at this photo. Because you didn't before. Look at it. Look at it! Where's your mind right now? Still feel like you're unable to engage with your family? Still feeling pensive? Well, today let's try to focus on the positive feelings you've had this week. Come... I was really hoping I could just get a refill on my prescription. On those moments when you feel at ease... Maybe doing something you find satisfying. It may seem silly, but makes you feel good. Think about your daily routine. At home, places you go, people you see on a weekly basis. I really just want the prescription. A stroll, a TV program, talking to a friend. Look, I don't feel good strolling or eating, or seeing anyone, or talking to anyone. So just give me the fucking pills, please. Or I'll go down the street and rob the goddamned pharmacy. "And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life." That eternal life which Matthew spoke of, that feeling that tells us our loved ones are somewhere else, somewhere better, is the feeling that must prevail on a day like today. One year ago we were struck by a tragic event. Many lives were lost unjustly, incomprehensibly and unexpectedly. But today the spirits of the people we lost are somewhere else, watching us. And they can see that on a day like today we remember them and pay tribute to them. And to keep this memory alive, to keep it ingrained inside of us, and in this place, today we inaugurate this monument, this memorial to the victims. Roman melnyk? I'm Andrew berg. I lost my wife and my in-laws in the accident. I'm very sorry. I read the story in the papers about your daughter's necklace. I thought it was nice that they used it as inspiration for the monument. Do you like it? Yes. What do you... I... I don't know what to do. I get up in the morning and I don't know what to do. Maybe it's not that I don't know what to do the whole day, it's that I don't know what to do in the next hour or the next minute. I'm sorry, I'm being so honest. That's okay. Go ahead. Sometimes I try to think of things to distract me, you know, just try and think about something else, then I immediately forget and I don't do them. I just sit at home, not knowing what to do. It won't be easy, but sooner or later you will find something that'll help you get out of bed. - You think so? - I know so. Be patient. That's what I need, dammit. Have you gotten through it? - Ever been to Cancun? - No. It's a wonderful place and in the northern tip of the Yucatan peninsula. Um, is that something you guys seem like you're interested in? - Yeah. - Yeah, yeah. Okay, there's a cruise ship leaving out of Florida and it heads just straight down there. Let me get some of your information I'll get you guys started. How's it going? Great. Well, come on, time for a break. No, I'd like to finish this side today. I already opened them, so. Thanks. Oh... this week's pay. Not until I'm finished. - You're doing a great job. - Thanks. If I liked the fence that my wife picked out it'd be amazing. Bye, guys. - Mr. melnyk. - I need to ask you a favor. I want you to help me find him. - Pat, it's Tessa. - I know it's been a long time. I'm coming to town, is there somewhere we could meet? The book is finished. I have to send it in next week for lay-out, but if you really wanted to say anything it would be an honor. That's why I don't wanna ask you anything specific. I'm not talking about an interview or photographs. I just wanna give you a chance to say something. Add a comment, a thought? Or to not say anything at all, if that's what you want. You know, sometimes I... Sometimes I put myself in their shoes. You know, the families'. And then I think about my son and my wife, and it scares me to death, it's terrifying. I mean, what can I say? You know, I... I just want this pain inside of me to go away. So, tell them... Look, I'm not a bad person. Right? - Alright, I'll see you guys. - See you Monday. - Have a good weekend, pat. - You too. - Yes? - - I found him. Hi. He put his house up for sale and moved to another state. He works at a travel agency four blocks away from his new apartment. And what's his address? I don't know if I should give you that. What's wrong? I'd like you to use this information in the correct way. There is no correct way or incorrect way. It's not that simple. I told you, I just want to look him in the eye. Show him a photograph of my family. I want him to apologize. No one has said they're sorry. No one. Pat dealbert. Pat dealbert? His name is pat dealbert now. Where are you going? Goodbye. Is pat dealbert home? He sure is, that's me. We're here to stay the weekend. I know buddy, I know. - Hi. - Hi. I'm glad you're here. Okay, let me get your stuff. We were rehearsing his lines the whole way here. Yeah, well, he did a good job. Hey, you guys are a lot earlier than I thought. Yeah, we made great time. We had a speed demon in the passenger seat. I'm just finishing up dinner, you guys make yourselves at home. Yeah. So who did you tell him pat dealbert was? I told him it was like Clark Kent or Bruce Wayne. A name you told people so they wouldn't know the truth that you're a superhero. So I'm... I'm super Jake. Yeah, at first, he said it was stupid, but, then he thought it was kind of funny. Yeah. And, um, how have you been feeling? Honestly? Alone. Um... This whole kind of place feels unnatural. You know, i have days that I wake up and I feel like things are getting better and the next day I wake up it just kind of feels like things are getting worse. Well, I'm... I'm sure it'll take time. Move here. Quit your job and move here, you and Samuel. Yeah, this'd be a great place for all of us to get a fresh start. And we could all be super heroes. I think we just need to... To take it slow. You know, I think it's better. Yeah, yeah, of course. Um... I made the bed for you guys so I'm gonna sleep on the sofa tonight. What? I just thought that was the plan. I guess, um, my plan was we could all fit in one bed, the three of us. Okay, well, then my plan is no longer my plan. Good. Jake. Hello? I love it. Mama. I love it. I think it all depends on this card. Oh, wait, no, no. I win. - He got us. - Good job, buddy. - Alright. - Let's play again. - Again? - Honey, it's late. Please? Alright, it'll be a really quick game, okay? - Yes. - I'm gonna fill these up. You know what? While your dad's doing that, pajamas. - Okay. - Okay, brush some teeth. Yes? Can I help you? Look at this photo. This is my family! Listen to me. You can't be showing up here like this you hear me? - Look at it! - I see it, but my family's here, okay? You killed them! I'm gonna call the police if you don't leave. - My son is in here! - No one had apologized! - You killed them! - It was an accident, okay?! You hear me?! What's the matter with you?! You can't be showing up like this. What have you lost your mind? I'm gonna call the police right now, you need to leave! You understand me? You need to leave! It was an accident. I didn't kill anybody! What's gotten into you? You need to leave now! Have you lost your mind? You need to leave now or I'm gonna call the police. You hear me? You hear me? Stay here. Olena, stay back. Stay back. Mommy? Nadiya. Don't be afraid. Don't be afraid, nadiya. No. He did not know that the new life would not be given to him for nothing, that he would have to pay dearly for it, that it would cost him great strife and great suffering. But that, that is the beginning of a new story. The story of the renewal of a man, the story of his gradual regeneration, of his passing from one world into another. Roman, let's go. So they agreed to review the sentence and apply the extenuating circumstances we presented. And to be honest, Roman, ah, I didn't expect them to reduce the sentence so drastically. It's been ten years and you could get parole in four months. You'll have to visit a psychiatrist three times a week, who will write up monthly reports on your progress. If you go to every session and those reports are positive, you might not have to go back to prison, Roman. Hi. Hi. Can I help you? Oh, sorry. I'm, I'm looking for the exit, I think I'm lost. It's right over there. You need to make a couple of turns. - Come, I'll take you. - You sure? Yeah, I'm heading that way anyway, come. Thank you. Yeah, I've never been here before. Oh, last time I was here was 11 years ago. Long time. Everything is exactly the same. Nothing has changed since the first time I came. The same trees, the same smell of thyme. - Same everything. - No, that isn't thyme. - It's savory. - Oh, yeah? Smells like thyme to me. But it isn't. You have family members here? No. My father isn't buried here. You know, when I was following you, I didn't know exactly when to approach you, where'd be the best place. But when I saw you get on that bus this morning and I realized you were coming here I thought, the perfect place for this to end. Wait. Turn around. Turn around! Go ahead. Do what you have to do. I understand. But I want you to know that, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for what I did. I could do it. But I'm not going to. It's not what I was taught. Will you just go, please? Okay. |
