DAY 2

You're very brave... and very stupid.

"Howdy, partner"?
- Yes.

As in...
Peter Seller's movie.

Refresh my memory...
- Ahmad, the jailor, like it a lot. He kept saying that.

What do you think?
- I think he's one of the hijackers, I know it sounds crazy.

Ahmad can't be in that subway.
- How can you be sure?

He died in a remote-controlled attack
3 months after you came back.

You know that because I told you already.
- Yes, but... can you re-check the American reports?

Philip...
- The identification is 100% positive?

Are you ok?
- I'm great but I just wanna verify...

I mean, is your mind ok, Philip?

We're counting on you
to handle this situation.

I wanna be able to rely on your rationality.

Despite all the pressure.

Ahmad is dead, he's not down there.
You gotta find out who that is.

Ok.
- Good. Say hello to your dad.

Yes.

Hi, dad. What's up?
- What were you doing with Palle Wulff?

How do you know I was there?
- I'm retired but I still keep myself informed.

So, what were you doing?

Just a confidential conversation
with the head of defense.

What was the subject?
- I said it was confidential, dad.

You know I have the highest access level.

I'm positive it was suspended
when you retired from Head of Defense.

Have you talked about your escape?

Philip...

...you need to talk about that with someone.

I already did.
- You know what I mean.

Yes, I do know. Now I gotta think about 15 hostages
and try not to get them decapitated.

Precisely for that reason, Philip.
- I gotta go now.

Good morning.
- It's 6:07 am.

Obviously, yesterday's interview
is being the topic of every discussion...

I was getting all choked up when the hijacker came on
and asked for 4 million euros...

Any news?

We identified the hostages
from the cellphones left on the train.

All of them?
- Yes, all 15.

Silas Jensen, 21. Denise Hansen, 24.

Marie Bendix, 22, the one on TV.
- Leave the list on my desk. What else?

We set up a base for the families
in Skuespilhuset.

We contacted about 30 of them.

Louise, go there and keep me informed.
- Ok.

Keep searching for anything.

Where are we?

We don't have much
but we can see where the hostages are.

They must have put the cage there.
- It's not in the original project.

If that's the case, they must be in that part
of the tunnel, sealed with cement.

A great position to keep them under watch.

To escape, they'll go through the open tunnel here.

What else?
- This must be some sort of barricade or slot...

...to shoot down whoever tries to get in.

Naja Toft?
- She was fired right after the interview, it was never approved.

She opened a blog.

We follow the blog and check her phone calls.
- The hijackers will probably contact her again.

Let me know if they do.
- What do you make of it?

It's not just about the money.

It's been carefully planned,
the subway is not an ordinary choice.

So what now?

Figure out who they are.
- Roger.

S.P.?

They fucking fired me.

So I started a blog,
middle-aged women chat.

No.
Yes, thank you.

Hello?

It's no fun at all
but you gotta accept it and move on.

Yes, it's all finished.

I believe my Twitter followers just doubled.

I really need to run to the bathroom now.
See you, bye.

I can't believe it!

Oh, fuck!
I spilled coffee!

Good job last night.

Yes...?
- Are you ready for another one?

Another what?
- Another interview.

I don't know if you heard, but...
I got fired so I don't have a TV show anymore.

We don't need a TV show,
you have a blog, don't you?

Yes but it's not that kind of blog...
- You can stream the interview on your blog.

I don't understand... why don't you just go
to one of the tabloids?

Because I like you.
I need someone people listen to.

I need someone people trust,
someone with integrity.

We'll do it at 6 pm,
will you be ready?

Yes, I'll be ready.

We'll do it at 6 pm, will you be ready?
- Yes, I'll be ready.

What now?
- We can't be cut off from the dialogue.

I'll talk to Naja and try to reopen negotiations.
Espen?

Yes... we haven't heard from them since yesterday,
we can't make contact.

We're just waiting.
- Come up with something.

Of course.
- Talk to the families.

Find out something we can use.

Hello, I'm Louise Falck,
the police negotiator.

They won't tell us anything!
- We're doing everything to work this out.

Don't get discouraged.
- But nothing's happening!

We are opening a dialogue with the hijackers.

We're here to talk with each one of you.

Anything you can tell us about the hostages
will be of great help. Thanks for your attention.

Hi.
- Hi.

I'm Louise, what's your name?
- Rami.

Are you related to one of the hostages?
- Yes.

Actually, no. Can't I be here just the same?
- I'll pretend I don't know.

But you do know some of them.
- Yes.

A friend?

Yes, he's my sensei.
- You mean like a karate master?

Which one's your sensei?
- Adel.

Again.
You're distracted.

Heian Shodan.

Again.

Concentrate on your position.
Relax your body.

The explosion will come naturally.

Let the explosion come.

The force is in here,
not in the hands, arms or shoulders. Breathe.

Heian Shodan. Concentrate.
- I am.

No, you're being aggressive.

Again.

Don't let emotions overcome you.

This takes self-control.
Again. Heian Shodan.

I did 100 times!
- Then you'll do one more.

What if I'm attacked?
I'll show them this and make 'em laugh?

You said you wanna learn karate, right?
Well, this is karate.

Karate is not bullying, it's doing your kata well.

Again and again and again...

...and again.
- If you come across my friends at night, you're fucked.

Hi.
- Hi.

Do you smoke?
- I don't.

Have you ever tried?
- Yes, I did.

It only takes one cigarette to learn
but then it takes years to quit.

Yes, I've considered that.

Look at that one.

He's not just some sheep farmer
who joined the Taliban.

He's from the Special Forces.
- What makes you think that?

I've been with one of them,
they have a particular way of standing or walking.

Look how relaxed he looks,
the hand on his weapon.

So he can pull the trigger in no time.

You know a lot about this stuff.

I know guys like you.
- Like me?

Pakistani?
- Strong manly types.

You pump yourself up,
to look strong and brave.

I have really nothing to show off.

Listen...

...if you're planning a suicide mission,
that's fine with me, but...

...these people aren't kidding around.

If your plan is to attack them,
you'll put us all in great danger.

Some of us have children and parents to take care of.

To us, it's relevant whether we live or die.
For me it is.

Yes...

So, don't you think it's better to keep calm?

Of course.
- Yes?

Thanks.

Yes?
- I'm Axel Bendix.

Father of Marie, the girl you interviewed.
- Of course... hi, Axel. Would you like to...?

Yes, thanks.

Would you like some water? A coffee?
- Coffee will be fine.

Come in, you can keep your shoes on.

Thanks.

The interview has been tough.
- Yes... I'm sorry about that.

You don't need to apologize,
you were a great success.

That's true. Why don't you sit down?
- Thanks.

I'll get straight to the point.
- Ok.

Authorities won't pay any money,
the law is clear about that...

...and I don't think they're going to change it.

Therefore, we can only wait and hope
for the kidnappers to surrender...

...or for the police to break in.
- Yes.

We don't believe the first one
and we don't like the other one.

I see, what's the plan then?

We discussed our best chance right now...
and it might be you.

Me...?
What could I do?

What you do better.
- Yes...?

You get people to listen to you.

She's with me, a family friend.

Excuse me, can I have your attention?

As you know, I was supposed to meet with Naja
and I'm happy to tell you...

...she agreed to meet with us.
Here she is.

Hello everyone. This situation
really got me upset...

...and I can't even imagine what you're going through.
It must be horrible!

Axel and I talked about what to do
and we agreed on a national collection.

4 million euros it's 30 million crowns,
it definitely can be done.

We'll draw the attention of the whole Country,
all that's necessary to get your dear ones free.

I wanna help you in the best possible way.

Hi.
- Hi.

I wanna help, what can I do?
- If you have rich friends, ask them to donate everything.

Naja Toft, you've been fired for interviewing
one of the subway hostages.

Now you keep doing it on your blog.
Aren't you making things difficult for the police?

I don't wanna make thing difficult,
I wanna help instead.

Imagine to have a brother, a sister,
a child trapped down there.

You're the father of a hostage,
don't you think the police should handle this?

The police is forced to follow the rules,
I can't wait here sitting on my hands.

So, what's the solution?
- To buy the hostages' freedom.

Together with Naja Toft,
we started a collection to raise the money.

Won't be problematic
giving the money to the terrorists?

It's important to do the right thing.

If someone has a better idea,
it'll be most welcome.

We're doing this because we believe
it's the safest way to get those people free.

That was Naja Toft, after meeting with the families...

...of those who's been held hostages for now over 40 hours.

What's going on?
- She started a crowd-funding campaign.

That's brilliant.
- She's very popular.

The elevator is moving!

Hello?
Anybody there?

Anybody there?
Hello?

Anybody there?
- It's just a radio.

Hello?

Hello.

This is Esben Garnov.
Hello, Esben Garnov. What's with the radio?

I wanted to talk to you.
- So you got creative.

I just wanted to hear
how the hostages are doing.

The hostages are waiting for someone
to come up with 4 million euros.

I must tell you, Esben,
I think they're getting quite impatient.

We are ready to talk solutions.
Do you need anything down there?

Food, water, medicine?
- No, we're just waiting to get paid.

And we are working on that, but I need you
to keep talking to us, not the press.

We cannot facilitate the payment of ransom money
if the whole nation is following the process.

What I suggest is that you consider releasing
a couple of the hostages. Maybe some of the older.

And why would I do that?
- As a gesture, a sign of good faith.

As a gesture? Is that your pitch?
- Well, yes.

Here's a gesture for you, Esben.
I will decide when and why I release the hostages.

I will decide when and how we talk.

Next time you send down the elevator without telling me,
I'll send it back up with a dead body in it.

Alpha, let's talk about your needs.

Hello?
Hello?

Thanks, I'll take it from here.

Naja, thanks for coming.
- You're welcome. Why am I here?

We saw your interview.
- What did you think of it?

Quality TV.
- Thanks.

So you started a collection.
- I can't stand the idea of 15 people dead over 30 million crowns.

You cannot pay.
- Correct.

What do you have against the collection?
- Me, nothing.

If you can raise the money, that's great,
but you gotta stop interviewing the hostages.

Excuse me...?
Interviews are instrumental to raise the money.

They make it impossible for us
to negotiate with the kidnappers.

All Denmark will get to know the hostages.
- That's the whole point.

We lose all control when the public's involved.

No one's controlling anything and
they won't release the hostages of their own will...

...because you can't give them the money,
I can.

What if you'll only raise half of it
or if they suddenly want more?

They won't.
They chose me because they trust me.

Or simply to deal with an amateur.

We got plenty of professional negotiators.
They know what they're doing... do you?

Ok, give me a plausible scenario
in which all the hostages are still alive in one week.

She's stubborn, she sees herself
as the link between public and kidnappers.

How many do follow her?
- 2 million clicks a day.

With a live interview,
she could go up to 3-4 million viewers, only in Denmark.

The rest of the world is following her too.

Worst case scenario?
- She does the interview and they behead a hostage on live TV.

Options?

Declare the state of emergency
and close her website.

That's not really an option, is it?

It won't happen before tonight.

We can create a dead zone around Marmorkirken,
shut down the entire net.

Can it be done?
- Yes and we'll control the communications with the kidnappers.

It'll shut down all communications.
- We can't know how they'll react.

I'm not loving the idea,
there could be unexpected consequences.

It's up to you, Philip.
If you think we're losing control, you're allowed to proceed.

Ok?
- Roger.

This one.

A tattoo, I guess... yes?
- Hey!

What's up, macho?
- You got a new boyfriend?

I like muscular men with heavy artillery.

Be careful.
- What do you mean?

Don't get too close.

Are you my dad now
or do you have a crush in me?

You can be good at spotting a soldier
but I did my time and I know a psychopath.

One who already killed before
and he doesn't give a damn.

He has fun in fact.

I don't know about the others, but that one
is not here for Allah or for money.

It's the adrenaline.
He's always the first to run towards danger.

Better stay out of his visual range.
Got it?

Yes, thank you.

You do have a crush on me!
- Stop it.

Well, forget it,
I'm done with the macho type.

That's evident.

Rami?

Can you hear me, Rami?

I thought you were done with us.
- Youssef, where's Rami?

Who the fuck is Rami?
- Cut it out, where is he?

I don't know what you're talking about.

You don't know him?
- No, who the fuck is Rami?

Get up.
Are you ok?

Stay out of it, Adel.
He owes us money.

Go home, Adel.
I will use it.

How much?
- 1500.

I said how much.
- 5000. I'm sorry.

Here, now you're even.
Forget about Rami, understood?

How much we got left?
- Half an hour.

Who is she gonna interview?
- They had no more contacts, she doesn't even know.

Be ready to pull the plug.

This dead zone,
isn't it too risky?

I don't want a live decapitation.

Won't they see it as a push from us?

It is a push
but we'll keep it close range.

Louise, do you have a problem?
- No I don't.

I need to have complete control.
If they play hard, I will too.

You're absolutely right.

You think I'm wrong
taking the initiative?

No, but I'm not sure you're doing it for the hostages.
- Who else?

Yourself.

I'm only trying to help.
- Louise, this is work... can you still keep things separated?

Adel, I think we have gotten off
with the wrong foot.

Well, maybe if you didn't kidnap me
we'd be best friends.

You're a funny guy, I like that.

But you also like the big drama.
- No. I don't, actually, no.

I want you to do a live interview
with this journalist, Naja Toft.

You answer her questions, you behave...
can you do that?

What if she asks if I've been beaten up?

Then you tell her
that you've been treated well.

You miss your friends and family.
You really hope this crowdfunding campaign goes well.

Tell her you're tired and want to go home.
Tell her something personal.

Something personal?
- Yes.

If you tell them something personal, people will like you.

And if they like you, they'll pay money to get you out of here.
- Is that right? - Yes.

They'll feel special.
They're doing something good, they're saving you.

You can paint all the pictures you want in your heads...

...and you're probably on this "grand mission"
but this is a sick way of getting it...

...and the fact is...
you're just a criminal and a coward.

Adel, just so we're clear...

You tested my patience twice,
don't test it a third time.

I'm not afraid of you and there's
nothing you can do to scare me.

We'll see.

Answer the questions.
Behave.

Hi, Rami.
Aren't you with that psychopath, right?

I need a gun.
- A gun, little Rami? What mess are you in?

Whatever it costs.
Don't be afraid of Adel.

Didn't you hear?
He's one of the subway hostages.

It's 15.000.
- Ok.

Give me the money.

All the money in the safe.

Hello?
- It's time.

And who am I interviewing?
- Adel Asul, 38, Karate teacher.

Are you ready?

I didn't hear you.
Are you ready?

Yes, I'm ready.
- Good.

Hi, I'm Naja Toft.
- Yes, I know who you are.

I'm turning on the camera,
is that ok?

Adel Asul, 38, Karate teacher. Is that correct?
- Yes.

Can you tell us about how you've been treated?

I gotta say something.
Rami, I hope you're watching this.

Ok. Who's Rami?
- Rami is a boy with a big heart.

Give me the fucking money!
Move!

But as many others with such hearts...

...he lets his emotions guide him
and does stupid things...

...if they think a friend is in trouble.
Rami, I'm fine.

Adel, how do...

You need to know I'd rather die
than doing what they tell me.

They don't deserve our money...

They don't deserve our respect.
They don't deserve shit!

Remember your training, Rami.
- Something's wrong.

Keep focus.

Shut it down!

The line is dead.
- What you mean is dead?

They cut off.

Adel! I thought I told you to behave
and answer the questions... no, no, wait!

What happened?

Are you sick?

What happened to you?
- Call an ambulance.

Hello, can you tell us what happened?

Yes?
- We released a hostage, you can pick him up in the south tunnel.

Come again?

200 meters from target.
Getting closer.

There's a cart with a bag on it.

Male, between 35 and 45.

Possibly from Middle-East.

It's Adel.

He's dead.

Out.

They're in contact.

Garnov, Louise is up.
- Roger.
