01x02 - Passenger List

Post by bunniefuu »

Boarding complete.

Close ramp.

Ramp closing.

Suunto, Super Puma.

We're here.



What have they written?

That the crew of the
Estonia was incompetent.

"Too young... ill prepared."

"Too Soviet. A Swedish crew
could have handled it better."

I didn't know you know Swedish.
- My wife translated it.

Mind you, you can't believe
everything she says.

Translated the entire article
with the help of a dictionary.

What are their claims based on?

I think it doesn't really
matter at the moment.

Be that how it may

it's our job now to
prove them wrong.

What were your instructions?

To not say anything
until we know something.

Didn't the Prime Minister
say it was the bow visor?

That's his opinion.

Where the hell is Johan?

He's calling his wife.

Hi! The conference room is
ready. Would you like something?

No. Can I go straight in?
- Sure.

Okay.

Ready?

At Technical Research Centre, my
job has been to keep ships afloat.

But I think I can help find
out why this one didn't.

Let me give you a little
pointer straight away.

Nothing ever works out
the way you expect.

Tell him that staying silent
can also raise more questions.

We were at this...

barbecue once.

Ages ago.

Camilla was leaning
on this chair.

She just can't sit still.

She kept rocking on that chair.

And...

I just knew...

I knew that she would fall

that the chair would tip over.

But I didn't say
anything to her.

And then, just a few minutes
later the chair tipped over.

I'm laughing now, but it
was actually quite bad.

She hit her head on a rock.

It was quite serious. She
had to go to the hospital.

She lost her memory for a while.

Sometimes, she still...

loses her memory especially
when she's tired.

And now

when she was going
to take this boat...

You're a priest.

I just got this strange feeling.

That I should...

That I should tell her

"Camilla, please don't go."

"Don't do it. Don't go."

It's not...

Don't think like that.

We don't know
anything yet, right?

Hello.

Is there someone called
Anders Hansson here?

No Anders Hansson?

Right.

Birgitta Lindqvist?

Yes, that's me.

Please come with me.

Would you like to
come, too, Mikaela?

I'll be right back.

This way.

Well...

Unfortunately, I
have some bad news.

The Finnish border police

and the coroner have
notified us that your mother

Anna-Lena Lindqvist,
was found dead

at 9:20 a.m. at
the accident scene.

She was identified by
her personal belongings

and survivors'
witness statements.

We will get more information from
the Finnish authorities tonight.

All we know is that your mother has
been moved from Utö island to Turku.

How...

How did she die?

Well...

I'm really sorry, but...

We don't have an
answer at this point.

We've also set up
a crisis centre.

You're very welcome
to contact them.

Linda here can
help you with that.

And the doors of the
Church are always open.

My condolences.

Well...

Utö, Super Puma.

May we approach?

Yeah, we're coming
straight from the east.

Approaching Utö island.

Prepare for landing.

Let's put him down.

Lift the bodies off the stretchers
and put them into the coffins.

We need the stretchers
for new victims.

Once all the bodies are in the
coffins, get them to warehouse two.

Were vehicles fastened properly?

Yes.

What is a normal
amount of movement?

Movement with a sort of...

twitching.

I noticed there was

some water coming out of
the ventilation ducts.

It might be... but I can't
remember the exact time.

Maybe...

it was 12.45

What can you say
about the expl*si*n?

It was just around that time.

I heard this...

loud bang.

Rooste wants comments that
reflect well on the Estonians.

He does.

Just like the Swedes.

We're witnessing the start of
a Sweden vs. Estonia match.

The police have gathered
statements based on memory.

But personal memory
is very subjective

or it can be interpreted
nearly as you like.

FC Haka...

won a match by a
penalty kick once.

We were in the
audience with my wife.

The losing team didn't
blame the winners.

Or themselves.

They blamed the referee.

I wouldn't want to play the
role of that referee in there.

We're continuing.

At a quarter past one...

I looked at a
monitor and saw that

water was coming from
the sides of the ramp.

Then the ship started tilting.

Any other signs that
the situation was bad?

What is Mr Skylight?

It's a coded alarm for the crew

to avoid worrying the passengers
if there's a fire or...

The list.



When the ship lists in 15
minutes... That's inconceivable.

Hi, everyone.

I have some news.

Europa...

Silja Europa is approaching the port
and will be docking in 10 minutes.

And there will be
survivors on board.

We don't know how many.

Buses will be taking
you to the port.

To make this smooth

we'll all get up and go
calmly to the buses now.

The police will escort
you to the port.

Take your things and
calmly walk to the buses.

They're not coming.

There's no one else coming.

And then what?

When they've found everyone

and everyone knows what
happened to them...

What happens then?

Has anyone thought about that?

Jörgen, will you look into that?

No, we don't have exact...

The most important thing
now is to find the ship.

Then we can examine it further.

When the Baltic Sea is calmer,
they will be able to film it

using an underwater robot.

Can you tell us what happened?

Was there an expl*si*n?

No, no...
- What happened?

An ambulance carrying
someone is here.

Stand back!

THE COMPLETE PASSENGER LIST

Mikaela has been trying
to get the passenger list

but she never got it.

But here it is.

Pictures and all.

They've published

private information
about our family members

and friends.

They didn't ask for permission.

They just want to sell
their f*cking paper.

Here they are.

Fifty dead from our town.

This is...

Camilla.

She is my wife.

Every one of us has family,
friends, colleagues.

There are hundreds of us
trying to get information.

When we see those
rafts on TV we think:

"Is that someone I know?"

Mikaela was part of the
crisis team at the terminal.

I asked her to join us in case
anyone needed some support.

So...

Yes.

Absolutely. I... This is...

extremely difficult.

There's one thing
I need to know.

When will we be able
to bury our families?

When will I be allowed
to bury Camilla?

I think that...

one thing you could
do now is get together

with more relatives.

Get organised.

That would be a more effective
way to voice your needs

and ask your questions.

Yes.

Watch out for mother's laundry.

Come on.

Take this, Ari, would you?

Who is it?
- I wouldn't know.

A journalist?
- No idea.

Hey, watch out!

Hi.

This is Jenny. From...

Sorry, who is this?

You saved me from the raft.

Okay.

Sorry, but how did
you get my number?

Do you know what happened?
It all went down so fast.

Why did we sink?

Listen.

I have no idea why
the accident happened.

I'm glad you're OK.

Do you know what happened
to the little boy?

It happened so fast.

I didn't see if there
was someone who...

Actually, I just
wanted to say...

thank you.

You saved me.

No.

I'm not a hero.

Hi. Welcome.

Hi, nice to see you.
- You, too.

Welcome. You're also welcome
to join a few of us afterwards.

Let's see how many show up.

Getting organised
is a good thing.

Absolutely.

See you later.

Hello. Welcome...

My name is Oscar.

I'm from the town of Borlänge.

I...

I lost my wife and father-in-law
on board the Estonia.

A few of us thought that
it would be a good idea

for us families to get together.

Because, unfortunately, I think
this is just the beginning.

There are so many
unanswered questions,

challenges, and grieving
processes that lie ahead of us.

That's why we're all here today.

We can support each other.

We can talk to one another

and feel that we're not...

we're not alone in our grief.

Take a look at this.

Hold the ship in position.

Okay, will do.

We found an object.

We found the wreck.
