SOLAR FILMS PRESENTS
BASED ON ACTUAL EVENTS Hi, it's me. Are you at the airport? - Yep. Doesn't sound like it. - I'm on my way there. You've done that for 6 hours. - Just paid a visit a friend. No, we didn't drink anything. Just talked about life. What if I kill myself? - No, you won't. You just go to Helsinki. To start all over again. Right? Maybe I shouldn't go? - You have to go. Stop dreaming. Yeah, yeah. Don't yell at me. I don't like being yelled at. I want you to go there and get a job. I've supported you for a year now. Shape up. But I have! I was the number one salesman for the - Holiday Magic Cosmetics! Not many have! Not many can. I've sold cars, cosmetics... Is there something I haven't? I'm working my butt off, all the time, can't you see? I know. I have great plans, just don't nag at me. Stop nagging! I have work up to my neck! - Just get on that plane. Don't worry about the bankruptcies. It's one hour flight only. Start all over again. You're a grown-up man. Try to get something done! THE HIJACK THAT WENT SOUTH Oulu, Finland. Friday 24.3.1978. Do you like kissing? Well, that depends. With some, not a chance. Some just can't get enough. - I see. Last night one of the kisses missed the mark. Right. When we get to Amsterdam, we'll eat well and go dancing. Or we go straight to coffee shop and then to the hotel. Or hotel first and coffee shop then. Almost an empty plane today. A routine day, thank God. Have you noticed the love-bite on co-pilot's neck? How can this take so long? We'll never get there. And it's so cold, too. The magic of the North. I hate the North. What's the time, we'll never make the plane. Why don't you say anything? Nothing works here! APU bleed air. - Set. Temp control, panel and AC. - Auto and set. Is that condition of yours contagious? What? - The blister. Thank God we were there only one night. Enough damage now. Fuel supply, right hand, main. Start-check completed. Now we just wait. What's the meaning of this? What is so difficult? Gotta get the bus started... Hey, pal, don't touch anything. Don't you know how to drive a bus? I don't have time for this. I have big things going on. Oh, I see. I work for the Secret Police in a smuggling case! It's only an engine problem... - This is big! Get us some goddamned taxis right now! Someone get the taxi! We're freezing here! Right away. Calm down... - You just shut up! This is an international crowd here. Is this as far as we're getting? Hey, Eurovision contestants should be going first! Do something. We're left behind! Her voice is her instrument! Old people are getting on. Why don't you stand up for us? Who'll compensate for the damages? You? Quite a night at the local. A hot chick asked me if I'm an aviator. I said I'm a fornicator. A long, sweaty night. Hallelujah! - Did she blow or suck that mark? Can you drive any faster? I'm a member of a Special Task Force of the Police. Have to get to the airport. And by God, turn off that radio. Major Lamminparras, highly ranked. Specialist onboard. And stuffed. What did he say? I'm the composer of this! And she is the only singer - capable to interpret music like this. Come on, now. My rhythm stick never lies still! Listen to this... It was hard. Thank you. The bloody light went on again. Check the manual. But it's in English... A beer. Here you go. The bus broke down, I gave the driver hell. Everyone was freezing. I was fixing it, while waiting for the taxi. I gave a ride to a nice, old couple. We had a nice chat. Now we're at the airport... Maybe I shouldn't go? Oh, Aarno. We've been through this. Yes, but... - I don't have time for this. Either you go there or you don't. Decide now. I have a friend visiting, I must hang up now. If you're not going, come back home then! Hello? You're in a bit of hurry, Mr. Lamminparras. I know. But the important phone conversations - with the highest levels can't wait. You wait. Sorry but you can't sit here. We keep the last rows empty. Please move forward. Sorry. 405, wind 30 degrees 7 knots. Taxi to runway 3-0. Copy that, Finnair 405 taxing to runway 3-0. The last leg of today. When we get home, you seek some - medical assistance. Strong enough to kick it out. Same thing will kick it out that kicked it in. 405, you're clear for takeoff. Runway 3-0. 405 copies. Thank you. Takeoff runway 3-0. Takeoff. - Taxing. Thrust set. Off you go. We're on our way. Everything OK? Everything is fine. Marion is famous in Germany. Why? Who knows her? This is a Finnish magazine. Easy to boast. I'm going to record a foreign song. It only takes one day. Here we fly now. This is wonderful, flying. I'm a big shot in music business. La Novia, that's my work. Do you want to be a star? Cover pictures, you know. - I'm pregnant! With me, everything is... Maybe later. Would you like to order? - Not from you. Ask the young girl over. Are we on schedule? Good afternoon, this is the Captain. My name is Taneli Rajapaltio and my co-pilot is Calle Snock. Our cruising altitude is 10,500 m - and airspeed 800 km%h. The Good Friday weather in Helsinki is misty. Temperature 8 degrees. We'll land in 20 minutes. Enjoy the journey. Happy Easter. And hi from the co-pilot. It was not on, the mike. Helsinki-Vantaa Airport Time 15.35 What do you think if I go out and get laid? You could handle the rest of the day alone. Wishful thinking. - Me getting out? Getting laid. Come on. The chicks go crazy over air traffic controllers. Especially after a few drinks. Jesus the days here are long. Long and boring. Life after death can't be any worse. Not a pretty future. Hello. Major Lamminparras. I'd like to visit the flight deck. Unfortunately, we can't... - I know all that. I have a long experience in aviation. Special air force duties. Various tasks. OK, Major. I'll ask the Captain. - Very well. Can't be any harm. Five minutes. This is a weird one. - It's Easter. Good will time. Ask him over. - Let's hope he's not armed. Yeah, see he doesn't carry a gun. On Easter. At least I'm going to have my eggs colored. Well... The qualities of Caravelle are unique. Compared to Convair. DC-9 gets pretty close. You have a point there. What's the airspeed? Normal. 800 km per hour. But she can climb high. 12,000 meters. Are you an aviator? From the Air Force? That's what everyone thinks. Major. From the Signal Corps. I see. Can you fly a plane like this single-handed? It's time to get back and fasten the seat belt. Just a moment. Major, you really have to go back to your seat. The game is over now. The beauty queens of today, they're so skinny. Just look at her. You'd find prettier ones in any bar. Men, I mean. - But this Armi, she's hot. Danny. He's the real talent. Just a dirty old man. My wife looks as pretty as Armi. No way! - Just take a look. I've seen her. Give me a break. She hardly looks like a woman. Helsinki tower, Finnair 405. Helsinki tower, Finnair 405. We've been hijacked. What now? Don't have a clue. It must be a joke. - I don't think so. Let's see if the manual has any operating procedures. Step aside! What the hell is going on? It's the Russkies! They're coming now. No entry! God damn, stop the kicking. God damn it! Are you the one kicking the door? Don't stare at me. Get out of here! I'm in charge here now. Get the hell out! Go and serve some fucking drinks. Bloody women... You just fly the fucking plane. Something is not right. Did you see how they smile? What? - They were smiling. The stewardesses. Just like in a parody. Help! Help me! Another brave Finn. Help! Must be from the Hicksville. Lieutenant Merivaara. Today? You mean now? Roger that. Ranin! Well... Something has happened. How do we deploy the SWAT team? - On Easter? How much fuel do we have left? 1500 kilos. Is that a lot? - Less than one hour flight time. That's not good. How about putting away the gun? - You just fly the plane. We fly as long as we have fuel. Then we go down. And no sudden movements. Otherwise we crash down. And the cabin crew must shut up about this. They can say... Well, invent something. Dear passengers. Due to technical problems in the landing gear - we prepare for an emergency landing. Fasten your seat belts and put out your cigarettes. Stay calm and follow the instructions. There is no imminent danger. How come there's no panic? Like in the movies? They're all Finns. - And a couple of Swedes. Captain? - Yes? Notify the air traffic control... I want a lawyer at the airport. We need a lawyer to the airport. Advocate Baum. Peter or Martin Baum? Both are lawyers. Martin. - Martin Baum. Copy that. We'll try to reach him. Try to fuckin' find him! - We are trying. We are going to die. Lamminparras, first name Aarno. All background information. Finnair 405, any luck with the lawyer? The numbers don't answer. - Get a bloody lawyer! We are trying all the time. Finnair 405, come in. We need a phone call to Oulu. ASAP. Lamminparras. The guy in the plane might be so crazy - that he'll blow up the whole thing. God damn it. Are there no lawyers in this country? My impression is that they are trying to contact them. Not one of your better days. Two rounds to go and still no points. Pena, it's for you. It's the police. Marttinen. I am. I see. OK. Well, what else can I do? Goodbye. What have you done? Police searching for you? On a public holiday? A Finnair plane has been hijacked. Right. - The hijacker wants a lawyer. I'd do the same. - I was the only one they could reach. The dogs are on the field. Pull up! Pull Up! God damn, that was a good kick! A completely unnecessary hazard. We are so low on fuel we have to go down. I know all that. Don't nag at me. Nagging all the time. Very well, Captain. Let's go down. Helsinki-Vantaa Time 17.05 405, follow to the parking space 203. Just keep on moving. Drive around in circles. This is 405... Can't we go any faster? - There is a speed limit. Just step on it. I have a special permission from the Ministry of Interior. Cabin crew! I need to get out! Right away. An important press conference! Just a moment. Things are all right. The Captain will let us know. Gentlemen. The Minister of Traffic is here to take over. Nothing will happen without her approval. Good afternoon, all of you. And Happy Easter. Who could brief me what this is all about? We have to stop in order to refuel. Can't you do that on the move? Unfortunately not. - I see. That's not good. That's bad. Wait a second. Stay right there. OK. Let's get the fuel. How many passengers onboard? - Most of them men. That's bad. That's bad. That's not good. When we stop, all the men will get out. Kids also. But the engines won't stop. To keep the dogs out. OK... Dear passengers, this is the co-pilot. This is a situation report. Let's prepare to exit the plane. Gentlemen only. I'm not going! Look after him. Sir, you take your kids. Sir, to the door. She stays. A very important meeting with the press. - Only men get out? Are you going to be OK without me? On the other hand, I can help you better out there. I'll sell your story to the press. Let's leave the plane. I've got this under control. Each in his own turn. Everything is fine. No, no, no! - Just take it easy. No one goes anywhere! Do you see that? Leave me alone! I'm not going! - You're going right now. Feet first, just jump down. - No way! It's all right. No panic. God damn it! God damn it... Lift it up! Give it to me! Good. Lift it up to me. Don't you go anywhere! I can't see. Give me a break! To the door. Sit down right there. Take my hands. I'll put you down. Don't go far. Father first. - Come on here. Sit down. Kids will follow. Don't go far. That's the way. Why don't we let them all free? Crew and all. Co-pilot, me, the plane. That's enough hostages. No. What are you up to? Go ahead, jump. Good. Next. Sir. You have to leave the plane. Do you understand? Stewardesses out too. - Pivi... Give me your hand! Sit down! - Irma, come! I decided you are going to stay. Bring some beer. It was just another cockpit visit. Quite normal. When Irma was trying to get him out, he pulled out a gun. The Captain always has open doors. To everyone. He seemed business-like. A tie and all. We informed the passengers about an emergency landing. A landing gear problem. - And we acted accordingly. Were you afraid? Yes. What a stupid question. Of course we were afraid. This one we'll cut out. - I was very scared. There's a rumor that the hijacker is a Russian spy. Any comments? He spoke plain Finnish. How about you? - Finnish. How about the future? I have a day off. I'll do my laundry. 405, the lawyer is coming. - Finnair 405, copy that. This is a misunderstanding. Why am I here? Well, there was no one better... The main thing is we get a man in there who doesn't panic. And is able to negotiate. I'm a tax lawyer. - That's not relevant. Do you feel up to this? Officer. What if we pretend one of your men is a lawyer? A fake Marttinen? Well, how about it? This better work. My career is on the line. Keep that in mind. No John Wayne stuff here. The hijacker wants the plane to take off. - Where to? What's the destination? - Unknown. As long as he's holding the aces, we have to comply. Prepare the SWAT team. We'll move to Oulu. What is going on? Why don't we get out? I'll have to talk to the Captain. Do you think we're idiots? The plane is hijacked. And we are the hostages! What are we going to do? Hijacked! Don't you get... Quite a paper, this one. - It is a legal document. I have been authorized by the State to negotiate. No thanks, I'm flying. No. I don't like your shirt. No style. It's just a bowling shirt. Now that we're at it, let's make some profit. OK. - OK. We should have wire-tapped that lawyer. I'm not sure. Really, this is state of the art technology This is Finnair 405. 405, come in. I have the hijacker's demands. Half a million to me... Fifty thousand to the War Veterans. Let's make that a hundred. To their hospice. Hospital, I mean. Something for the Kid's Hospital. 75 thousand. Exclusive rights to Helsinki News. 150 thousand. That makes altogether 825 thousand marks. The money must be packed to three separate briefcases. Cash only. Naturally. It's a public holiday. I'm not sure about it. God damn it, there must be that much cash around! How do we get that sum? The banks are closed. If they fuck with me, I know how to fuck back. The money plane must be in Oulu before us. He on the line. - Himself? Minister Laine speaking. Mr. President can't take your call right now. He is tied up with a meeting. But he insists on being updated. All under control. I have briefed the President. He has been informed. It's under control. God damn it. I hope this is settled in Oulu. ...took off from Oulu this afternoon - proceeding normally for thirty minutes. Mid-flight, one passenger requested a cockpit visit. A certified lunatic. This is a usual request on many flights. He was allowed to stay for a few minutes... This is not true! Anything new? The only sure thing is that they have your demands. We can land anytime we want. The airport is closed to any other traffic. No rush there. We won't land before the money's there. And if it's not there by 10, we go down, nose first. Do you believe me? ...the safety checks are random, and criticized as unnecessary. After this, we must reconsider. The results will be seen. Yes, yes. I need to talk to the Foreign Minister. He is very busy. - Comrades. In gratitude for the mutual beautiful co-operation... "In Karelia the trees are blossoming... " Let's try something else. - Don't lecture me. For God's sake! A press conference. Dear members of the Press Corps. I'm happy to inform you that I have just talked to the Foreign Minister. The situation in Oulu is still unclear. OK. Most likely, there is panic inside the plane. 405, this is Oulu. The package is here. Can you acknowledge? 405 copies. Clear the whole airport! - Clear the field. Oulu Time 22.27 The State of Finland hereby commits not to demand... The Minister of Traffic again. No bigger shots around? To sign a paper like this? Am I only worth of one woman? What? Is the plane en route to Oulu? How many passengers on board? Has the hijacker requested an asylum in Israel? The new destination is Stockholm? The end is near. The end is here. This is not good. 405, the back-up crew is here. Is the change OK with the hijacker? Absolutely not. We'll stick to this crew. How are you holding up? We'll be OK. This is a piece of cake. Copy that. Stand by on this frequency. Thanks. Thank you all. Thanks for staying. No point in splitting up a good team. A hell of a team. Merivaara, SWAT. - Lnnroth, Artillery. Looks like you're all lock and load. This hijacker... Lamminparras. From Oulu. Do you know him? Yes. I do. I know him well. Hang in there. Bankruptcy isn't the end of the world. We all will help you to get back on your feet. What if I kill myself? - No, you won't. Let's stay sharp. Now be sharp. Take the money to my wife. Get her to sign the receipt. Bring the paper to me. I need it by 23.30 sharp. Otherwise I kill everyone here. Co-pilot, come over here. What do you think if I call the game off? They won't put me to jail for the rest of my life? Not sure what the law says. My first party like this. Let's ask the bowling dude. He's the lawman. I finally got hold of the PM. - What did he say? Shoot him. What are we going to do? Are we going to shoot him? Yes. Yes. If we get a glimpse of the hijacker, let's rock. Repeat. The use of deadly force is authorized. God damn it. Where the hell is that piece of shit? Sorry... Sorry... Not good. Not good. Tell my wife I love her. I'm sorry... Try to understand. No hard feelings. He said he loves you. And he's very sorry. Try to understand. No hard feelings. So there. Why did you do this? Not the easiest way to make money. Aarno Lamminparras, you are hereby sentenced for - accounting violations to six months imprisonment. The sentence is probationary. 405... OK, the panic ends now. We're going to make it. We're not giving up. Not if we're here for a week. Right? Attitude! That's the spirit! God damn it, I'm not going to make it. Is this the end? It ends right here. The dogs will come in... Shoot me in the head. God damn it, watch your step, you cow! Helsinki-Vantaa Saturday 25.3. Time 01.12 I'm not sure if I can sign this. Too vague. We have strict rules for the fund-raising. Same thing for the Juvenile Hospital. My newspaper is committed, in principle. But my superiors still want to talk it over. Right. Let's worry about the rules and superiors later. When this is over. There is a madman on the plane! I'm not going back without the signatures! Here we go. Some refreshments. When do we get out? - Soon. When? - No, no, no. That's not the way, honey. You say you got engaged here, in this hijacked plane. And the magazine will pay for your wedding. And honeymoon? - You sell that to someone else. Is it that easy? - Never give anything for free. Awesome! Where is that lawyer? Where is he? If you're screwing with me, things will get ugly! Finnair 405, we're on it. Find out where that man is. VIP-room, do you copy? Is the lawyer there? He's at the Traffic Control. Who said that? - The Minister. I was told that he will meet the charity people - at the Air Traffic Control. - Who said that? I'm way too busy to keep everyone's name in mind. My main duty is to brief the PM, who's in Sweden. I want that lawyer in here in 15 seconds! Or things will get ugly! Get the man here. ASAP. The hospital guy was late. We were in the conference room, just like I informed your assistant. God damn it. How about if I put you on that plane? And blow it sky-high. Myself. Very well. Shall I go in? - Where? To the plane. I'm sorry. - Do you have the signatures? Did you sell my story? To the newspaper. 150000 marks. OK, ladies out. The stewardess stays. Get a move-on! OK, let's take off. I see. Where to? Heaven or hell. Your choice. Finnair 405. We're taking off. Finnair 405, you're clear for takeoff. We should have a destination. Or do we just fly around? How about Israel? Tel Aviv? Somewhere warm. I have friends there. They'll be excited to hear about all this. We can't make it that far without refueling. I don't want there anyway. They shoot without asking. How far can we get? Oulu, for instance. Not there. Been there quite enough. Let's go abroad. Stockholm. Let's go to Sweden. Stockholm. Finnair 405. New course 280. Flight level 320. Do you have a mirror? God damn it... The dogs are coming. Alright... The dogs are coming. Right. Right. God damn it. This is not going to work. This is the end. The end. What the hell are you laughing at? Hey, taxman! - Tax lawyer. Tell them to call Stockholm. To order one coffin. I'm not going to be around for much longer! That's for sure! God damn it. Call the dogs in. Call the dogs. God damn it. One thing is sure. This is not going to end well. God damn it! I'll blow you all away. What if he really shoots? He's getting hysterical. Oscar Hotel Lima Sierra Bravo, Stockholm tower. Stockholm, this is Finnair 405. Good evening. Good evening, 405. You're clear for priority landing. We've cleared the airspace for you. Stand by, Stockholm. Let's go to Oulu. I want to see the wife. We have to do the math first. - Why? We should go down to refuel. No, no! To Oulu. Do you understand? 405, you're on our radar now. Stand-by for a priority approach. Landing pattern Zulu-Bravo. That is negative, Stockholm. Request direct route to Oulu. Time: 04.45 The target's on his way here. Let's start earning our salary. The small pay of the Civil Servant. Half of the team stays here to work with the military. The other half to his home address. Get as many men from the local police as you need. Let's go! Let's talk about how things work when we touch down. Do you have a plan? Yes. I have a clear plan. I'm going home to see my wife. That's a good plan. - Yeah. One thing is for sure... You boys will be home tonight. Do you believe me when I say I don't want to harm anyone? Boys. - What? One more request. What do you think? That stunt should half my sentence. Can't say. I'm a tax lawyer. Fake receipts and stuff. You've taken good care of me. Thanks for that. Let's keep all this between ourselves. Just between us. A gentleman's agreement. When we touch down, I want to go home undisturbed. To spend 24 hours with my wife. Have coffee. Listen to the radio. After that, I'll turn myself in. Tell this to the dogs. Finnair 405. - Come in, 405. Dial my home number. Honey, when and if, I hope, I'll come home - my wishes are sauna, - a warm sandwich and a cold beer. Make that two beers. OK, boys. Get going that way. Why? - Because the police says so. Oulu Time 07.37 Welcome to Oulu, 405. Wasn't exactly a ten-point landing. On the contrary, 405. The best landing I've ever seen. God damn it. This is good bye now! Hey, calm down. Things are going to be OK. The deals are valid. I've been pushed around all my life. Everyone is screwing me. But that ends right here. God damn it! Hey, you were going home. To listen to the radio. Right. No hard feelings. Not at all. Try to behave yourselves. Some Good Friday that was. Lucky it's only once a year. God damn it. Quite a show you've put up. Would you like to return my gun? - No. One, two, check. Dear listeners. It is my pleasure to inform you - that all the captured are free and safe. What do I do now? Dear journalists. First I'd like to thank all Ministers - who helped us through this tragedy. It's a great pleasure to say that all prisoners are safe. Not prisoners. "Hostages". All hostages are safe. And I'd like to thank our PM and Foreign Minister. How would you describe the activities of the Police? Has the hijacker been captured? Can this happen again? Are you going to take measures - to prevent incidents like this in the future? What was the question? Maybe we just thank then. - Right. Thank you. Thank you all very much. Excuse me. -When can we expect more information? Mr. President. How come I haven't been informed about this? Paavo! I was singing at the moment. I am an excellent singer... Mr PM! You have a real welcome committee here. I think I'll owe you a beer. Well done, Lieutenant. How is the hijacker? Good. Pretty tired. And the wife? Silent. This is not easy for her. I've known Aarno for 20 years. Since the Army days. But looks like I don't know him at all. Not at all. I bet the wife thinks the same. OK, let's get ready. This is not a drill. Restricted use of force is authorized. Forgive me. Please, forgive me. What have I done to you? Did I accomplish anything? Did I? Why did you do that? Why did you hijack an airplane? No one hijacks planes here. We're in Finland. I wanted to show. To who? To you. Silvery moon In all her might There will be soon Another magical night I wait for you It's all in vain The moon is blue The sea and the rain Two hearts missing I am lonely and blue No more kissing There is someone new Silvery moon In all her might There won't be soon No more magic nights... |
