Original subtitles

Do you see what "revolution or death" means now, Pirateque?

In two hours, the captain dies.

Fifteen minutes later, so does Edilma.

Fifteen minutes after that, I'll turn this plane into a graveyard.

You have two hours to bring the money.

Two hours isn't enough time.

Shut up!

Shoot everyone on board if you want.

Even if I wanted to get you that money, the airport's closed.

Nobody can fly out before 4:00 a.m.

If you want your money, you'll have to wait until 6:00.

In two hours, everyone will see you as a coward who killed me for no reason.

But if you wait until 6:00,

you'll look like a fair man who gave them a fighting chance.

Six o'clock, Pirateque.

Not a minute later.

Okay, 6:00.

Revolution or death.

Everyone!

There is no more first class.

You're like everyone else now. Get to the back!

Get back there!

-Sir, class struggle-- -Enough with that shit!

I'm just doing my job--

Didn't I make myself clear? It seems you don't get it.

You'll be next if you don't cut that shit out.

Sit down.

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

-It was my fault. -No.

They killed him because of me.

-That's not true. -Hands on the seat in front of you.

Edie…

-Edilma… -Captain, please forgive me.

No, don't say anything.

Look at me.

Look at me.

What happened wasn't your fault.

The government and the airline abandoned us.

No one's coming to save us.

We can't be led like lambs to the slaughter.

We have to get these people out of here before those two maniacs kill us.

But I need you present and sharp.

I'm not dying today, and neither are you.

Edie.

Say it.

We're not dying here today.

We're not dying here today.

Repeat after me.

We're not dying here today.

We're not dying here today.

We're not dying here today.

We're not dying here today.

Now, I need you to find a way to free me.

I trust you.

What?

Let's get off this damn plane.

THE HIJACKING OF FLIGHT 601

CHAPTER 3 DOG DAY NIGHT

He's coming.

Sir. How are you?

Sir, I managed to buy more time to get the money to them.

We have until 6:00 a.m.

I told you this morning, and I'll say it again now, Pirateque.

Let Pastrana handle this shit show.

The government is in talks with the Netherlands

about a possible military intervention.

Are we going to sit back and do nothing while everyone gets massacred?

No one is sitting back. Why would you say that?

You, put that in the payroll safe.

-Now. -Yes, sir.

And you, listen carefully, Aristides.

The board will meet again tomorrow.

If you have any hope of continuing your work here,

I need you to go out there,

put on that stupid smile of yours,

talk to the families of the hostages,

and clear the Aerobolívar name.

Apparently, shots have been heard on Aerobolívar Flight 601,

which was hijacked more than 13 hours ago by a subversive group.

We will be following the developments…

Go to sleep.

I don't feel well. Can you take my temperature?

Let's see.

Where is Mom?

In Cúcuta.

It says 104.

That's a fever, right?

I want Mommy!

Something is wrong with my kids.

We have to get out of here now.

-What's wrong? Sit down. -They're not okay.

-Something's wrong. I can feel it. -Your kids are fine, Edie.

We have to do something.

Breathe.

Bárbara…

-What are you doing? -Hold on.

DIMENHYDRINATE ANTIHISTAMINE

Look what Ms. Drowsy left behind.

-These are our families, not yours. -It's my sister who's there.

No. But the government wanted information--

What information?

Why are we hearing that shots were fired?

You people don't know shit!

And you're wasting time.

I want to inform you that the airline won't negotiate with the hijackers.

-Why? -Negotiations won't continue?

The government has decided to handle the situation.

Tell us something. We need information.

-Aerobolívar-- -We've been waiting here for hours.

You're responsible for their safety.

-Aerobolívar shares your distress and… -No, sir.

That's nonsense. Wait a minute.

Is your child a hostage on that plane?

Or maybe your brother? Is your mom being held hostage?

Then you don't share our pain. Don't lie.

-What is this? -This is not okay.

What will you do for us?

Tell me.

What will you do for us? Tell me.

What are you going to do for us?

Say something.

Quiet! It's impossible to hear if everyone speaks at the same time.

Ulises.

-What do you want? -Food.

Food and water for the passengers.

If you're going to keep them overnight, we have to feed them.

-We're not in service. -Is scaring them not enough?

Being forced to stay here, knowing they're going to die.

It's not my fault.

Your president would rather see these people die

than recognize the injustice--

So you're going to starve them?

What happened to the story of Latin America being hungry?

This plane is hungry. I am hungry. You're hungry.

Or is the story about hunger a lie to trick people?

Food and water.

They can leave it on the runway where no one can see them and go.

You know what'll happen if you try something funny again.

Seventy-four…

Have you lost your mind?

These numbers aren't working, Manchola.

Help me get this open.

Are you an idiot?

If I open that safe, we're both going to jail.

-I'm sorry, but this is as far as I'll go. -Mancholita…

Listen to me. Be a dear.

Give me the damn combination.

Last time I listened to you, someone died.

Your drinking is pushing you over the edge. I won't do it.

No, I'm not drunk.

I'm just a little buzzed.

Aren't drunks and kids the only ones brave enough to tell the truth?

Like saying we were blinded by our own ambition?

No!

I didn't do this out of ambition. I did it…

because…

I wanted to be close to you.

Mancholita.

Mancholita.

Look…

In that safe

is the opportunity to honor the life we lost on Flight 601.

Yes.

The man who died because of our mistakes.

We have the opportunity to save those who are condemned to die

and to save our own souls.

Okay?

Right?

Now, we have to think about how you're going to get this money

all the way to Aruba safely.

How? We're airmailing this. And you'll be taking it there, not me.

I can't fly with my medical condition.

Being afraid is not a medical condition!

After that speech, you're going to chicken out?

Down. On the floor.

Go get that and come right back.

If you try anything, I'll kill a hostage.

I can't carry anything.

That lady hurt my hand during the struggle. I can't.

And I can't lift that alone.

-I need a man to help me. -Do it in multiple trips.

Lequerica can help me. He's strong. He can do it.

Hands up! Keep your hands up!

Bárbara found a ton of Tramadol.

-I have no trouble sleeping. -It's not for you, Lequerica.

Tell the captain we're knocking them out.

I've got the manual to open the rear hatch.

Hurry up!

Here it is.

Section two, page 250.

-It's all there. -It's technical?

-Yes. -I'm not an engineer.

-What? -I'm not an engineer.

I won't understand the tech manual.

It's fine. Just follow the drawings.

Hurry up! People are starving in here!

Sure.

-Thank you. -Enjoy your meal.

Enjoy your meal.

May I continue?

Thank you.

Miss, over here, please.

What is this?

Some bread and cheese?

You said "sandwich."

-Give me something with-- -They're all the same.

When the seat belt sign turns on, run to the back so we can escape.

When the seat belt signal turns on, we will escape.

-Thanks. -When the seat belt sign…

…come to the back so we can escape.

All right?

What?

Sorry. I've done that since I was a little girl.

What do you do?

I read people's faces.

Oh yeah?

What do you see in mine?

Do you really want to know?

It reminds me of a song.

The Sandro song, the one about the boy with the sad face.

No?

It's the story of a sad boy

who feels alone and in pain.

No one knows his story, and no one ever will.

Ever.

I don't know that one.

Isn't he going to eat something?

Hey!

Eat something.

What you see isn't sadness.

Where I come from, you wake up hungry and have nothing to eat.

The only thing in your stomach is rage, not sadness.

What's so funny?

Believe it or not, I also know what it's like to be hungry.

My mom had nine mouths to feed

with the little money my dad earned as an insurance salesman.

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

But I didn't wake up angry.

I woke up with the drive to make money to buy food.

So, you're the brother I never had?

Did my mother abandon you in the same place she abandoned me?

You have a choice, regardless of where you come from.

You can let the world eat you up, or you can conquer it.

No, where we come from, if you're hungry, you have two options.

You can find a ball and learn to play soccer better than Pelé,

or you can grab one of these and do what you can.

Or you can wake up early, study,

and serve five years in the Air Force to be where I'm sitting.

That thing in your hands is for the ones who don't wake up early.

It's for those of us who don't accept the shitty hand we were dealt.

There are other options, but you have to put in the work.

What if it's not that simple?

What if it's true that some of us are just born unlucky?

What then?

You wake up even earlier.

You pray more.

You study harder.

So you don't become a criminal.

Or a murderer.

What did that son of a bitch say?

-Hey! No! Calm down. -You don't know anything about us.

-Let go of him! Let go! -You don't know anything about us.

-Let go! -You don't!

Let go of him! Calm down!

-I'm going to kill him! -Shut up!

-That's it! -Stop it!

Where is the other stewardess?

-The other flight attendant. -Out of the way.

Stewardess!

Hey! Flight attendant!

Get out of here.

-No! It's freezing! -No…

Hold still. It's just to bring your fever down.

Come on.

No, I don't want to.

Watch them. I'm going to the bathroom.

Captain.

Hurry.

He fell asleep.

Good.

Captain, the signal.

I'm still tied up.

Captain, the signal.

Just a moment.

Captain, the signal.

What was that?

Get to the back, with the other flight attendant.

Yes.

Yes, I'm coming.

What's wrong?

We're dozing off.

Throw some water on your face.

We need more than water.

I saw them snorting coke.

We're screwed now.

I have a weird feeling about those two.

They're hiding something. Have you heard how they talk?

-I wonder if they're really guerrillas. -That's even scarier.

They did some drugs.

They're not going to sleep.

We'll do this the hard way.

Find someone to take care of the one in the back.

We'll take care of the one here.

We need help from the cyclists.

Thank you.

What are you doing?

What the fuck are you doing?

I was picking up the trash. This place is a mess.

If you keep playing maid, I'll shoot you.

Are you so indoctrinated that cleaning and serving is all you know?

What's going on?

Back to the front.

TAKE CARE OF THE ONE IN THE BACK

"Take care of the one in the back."

Good evening.

Could you please help me?

I don't understand.

Do you understand this?

Time is running out.

If they don't bring the money in 20 minutes, you're a dead man.

Hey!

Time is running out.

Don't get cold feet now.

Revolution or death.

-Excuse me. Can I talk-- -Who said you could stand up?

Look, my subversive friend. Hear me out.

-I-- -I don't care. Go back to your seat.

-Okay. -No, listen to me.

It's a matter of life and death. Please.

I have 423 chicks below, and they're going to die.

-Shut up. -I need to get out.

Let me go down there so I can save them.

Get back to your seat. Can't you hear me?

Yes, but I am responsible for those poor chicks.

If one of them dies, I won't forgive myself.

They're 400 baby chicks that don't have--

Don't you understand that you need to shut up?

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

Crazy old man!

Look, Mr. Hijacker…

Let me down there.

I'm a retired railway worker…

Want to get off this plane?

You will.

Cold and stiff. Got it?

This is your last warning.

-Shut up and get back to your seat. -No.

-Go back to your seat. -Yes, sir.

-Go back to your seat! -Yes, okay!

Go.

Sit down.

Hey!

Pay attention. Someone is coming.

Drop me here. I can solve this.

I'll save them, and we can go celebrate.

Wilches!

Wilches!

Ask Ulises to come down!

He has a big mouth, and in person now…

Sit down.

Tell him to come down!

Where's Ulises?

I'm Ulises.

Don't come closer. Stay there.

Stay there.

Don't come any closer.

-You're Ulises? -Yes.

But you're just a kid.

Let me talk to your dad.

Come closer, and I'll shoot you.

Hands up.

Who are you?

Ulises, I'm Pirateque.

I have your money.

Can I trust you?

Go on.

He's giving something to the other flight attendant. It's big.

You were right, Captain Latin America.

The early bird catches the worm.

What's going on?

Everyone, stay still! You, sit down!

Sit down!

Sit down! Now!

There's $50,000 here, and he has three more of these.

For every five hostages you release, he'll give you a bag.

He says you owe him five hostages.

-Revolution or death, son of a bitch! -Revolution or death!

Revolution or death, you son of a bitch!

They need to go in groups of five.

What?

You.

You too.

No, not you. You can go.

You too.

Look, Captain. Take a good look.

This is going to help us build a new world.

We will be free, and you will stay here, waking up early.

But don't worry. I'll leave you a good tip.

You've done a good job.

You've done a great job as our chauffeur.

You fucking terrorist!

Captain, what are you doing? They brought the money!

Son of a bitch!

Over here!

This way!

They were going to let us go!

This way! Quickly!

Come on!

To the back!

-To the back! -There!

Hurry!

Enrique!

-This way! -Faster!

-Here! -Let's go!

This way! Quickly!

Wait. Don't push!

Hey!

Hurry up!

Hey!

-Let's go! -Now!

Please! One at a time.

-Get up, Flaco. Get up! -Now!

Marulanda, were you released?

I escaped, my friend. I escaped!

-Quickly! -What's going on, Wilches?

-Hurry! -I have the money!

Get out!

Okay! One at a time!

No…

-Son of a bitch, help me. -I'm coming.

-Help me. -There we go.

-Shoot him! -Don't kill him!

-Shoot him, son of a bitch! -Don't kill him! No!

Stay still, asshole!

Quickly!

-Let's go! -What's going on, Wilches?

Ulises! I made a mistake. Calm down!

Start the plane, son of a bitch.

Fuck you!

Start the plane, or I'll shoot the fat guy.

-No. -Start it!

Start the plane, or I'll shoot him in the head.

I'll blow his head off. Start it up!

Now! Take off!

What are you waiting for?

Everyone is getting out. Don't push!

-Let's go! -The plane is leaving!

Jorge Enrique!

Jorge Enrique!

Jorge Enrique!

Stop!

Kill me if you want to! But stop!

Ulises!

Stop!

Here's the money!

You fucker!

Hurry!

-Stay still! -Son of a bitch, let him go!

Just go. I'll keep this asshole here.

Son of a bitch…

Go!

-Move, man! -Quickly, sir, please!

Now!

Go!

Crazy bastard!

Let go!

No! You son of a bitch!

-Don't kill me! -You stay still!

Move! Jump now! Go!

Get to the back!

To your seats. Go to your seats!

Go!
