01x05 - The Sailor on Duty.

[bunniefuu]

Speed 15 knots, four
engines running...

Permission to enter?

Permission granted.

You called about the
noise from the bow?

Exactly.

Tell us in your own words
how and when things happened.

You're not being
accused of anything.

If I'm not accused
of anything, why...

I mean that...

There's a reason why the earlier
statements were like that.

Why is that?

In my earlier interviews, the
interpreter couldn't speak Estonian!

We have an interpreter
now. Let's continue.

Tell us about the
day of departure.

About the inspection that day...

Or afternoon.

It was...

It was day like any other.

We saw inspection
on the car deck.

With Siim. Siim Pärn.

That was somewhere
around 1 o'clock.

Look!

The inspectorate is here.

They're here again
to make a mess.

Yeah...

Why the hell are they
looking at the locks again.

Damn paper pushers, don't
they have anything else to do?

Hey, alright, let's
go. Take that.

Well...

are we staying at
the harbour today?

It'll be too expensive to do
it for their entertainment.

I don't think they're going
to cancel the departure.

Did you see anyone
hammering the visor's locks.

No.

You said that you were
standing next to them.

Didn't we agree that I would
not be accused of anything?

I mean, you're not the police.

I can leave whenever
I want, can't I?

Janek.

Just once more.

Just tell us what you remember.

We just want to know
how you remember

what happened on the car deck.

If he learns how
to ask questions.

If you give better answers.

What do you remember
from the car deck?

Let's try to keep things short so
we can get out of here some day.

There's no coffee here.

What mood are they in?

Just asking questions.

We'll go over the
whole thing once more.

Let's talk about the moment you
heard the sound... or the bang.

I was on the bridge
every hour on the hour.

At half past I'd start
my security round.

And...

at 10:30 p.m. was my first one.

What are you planning
to do in Stockholm?

I don't know.

There's time. Let's
see how it goes.

I and the deck cadet were
standing a little further.

The captain and the mates
were at the control panel.

Wind direction and speed?

Gusts of wind from the west,
can reach 20 metres a second.

Machines?

All of them working.

Stabilizers?

Activated.

How much are we behind?

Half an hour.

Alright.

Strenght.

Much needed.

I've done that several times.

One more time, please.

I went through all the
decks in a particular order.

It was this routine
I had, so I didn't

have to think about
what I should do.

I always started
from deck seven.

And that's where I started
my round at 10:30 p.m.

From deck 7 I proceed to go down

to deck 6 and 5

going through the common
areas for the passengers.

Are you checking up on us?

All good here?

Five-six-seven-eight!

On deck 5 I pass the
shop and the info desk.

Otherwise, I can't
get to the car deck

it means that I ask
the info desk...

to open the door
to the car deck.

And then...

then my round continues,
through deck 5 and deck 4.

There weren't as many
passengers that night as usual.

Maybe because the
weather was so bad.

That there was a storm.

Well, from deck 4 I
had to go on to deck 3

just down the stairs,
to the car deck.

On car deck I check if
the cars are in place

and everything is
properly fastened.

Every territory has it's checkpoint
where I need to get a stamp.

But it didn't matter how
many times I'd done this

the keys never worked properly.

Then I take the elevator
back to the bridge.

There's a direct connection.

And when I'm back on the
bridge, then my round ends.

And your last round starting at


Yes.

Not exactly the same.

What did you do
differently this time?

I...

I...

briefly met someone.

You met someone?

Did you meet with some
friends during your round?

No, this was a...

a girl.

So, one coffee in Stockholm?

Stop it!

I have a boyfriend already.

And the others warned
me against you.

Why haven't you
mentioned this earlier?

No but this wasn't...

It was just banter
between mates.

Just a few minutes.

How many minutes did it take?

Two-three.

Couple of minutes.

Maybe four... four at most.

But you didn't go to the bar?

No.

He just wants to know
if you went to the bar.

No.

It says something here...

Where the hell was it?

Here, look.

It doesn't add up.

There.

There's Hendrik
Lapin's statement who

gives a different
overview of the events.

He says that he saw you
meeting the lady in the bar.

I really... I don't remember.

This could have happened.
Sorry, I dont remember...

Does it even matter?

I was doing my round!

The bar was on the way.

Did you stop at the bar
and met with a woman?

Hi!
- Hi!

You okay?
- Yes!

Sorry?

Yes, all good here!

Any trouble-maker passengers?

Fortunately not. Yet.

I'm sorry!

Did you even do your
last round at all?

I always did all my rounds.

We had to clock
in at every spot.

If I hadn't done that, I would
have been caught out right away.

I don't trust that f*cking Tamm
guy Janek or whatever his name is.

If he's lying about the small stuff,
he may be lying about everything.

You believe we could find
something new for the timeline?

I was thinking about
the Germans' claims.

We don't know what
happened on the bridge.

And there are only a few crew
members who can tell us anything.

And only one who
visited the bridge.

We two have come a
long way, haven't we?

I remember when you told me

you can't build anything
on recollections.

How can you drink this stuff?

Digesting disasters is
what I do for a living.

I just made a phone call.

Where and when did
you hear the bang?

Even though I don't remember
what happened exactly before that

I swear I was on the car
deck. I heard that bang.

What was the time?

Was it 12:35 a.m., 12:40
a.m. or 12:45 a.m.?

None of these.

It was 12:55 a.m.

And now you are saying
that it was 12:55 a.m.

I know that it was 12:55 a.m.

That's the correct time.

What did you say
about the water?

About water?

Yes, I heard it
from a passenger.

Some passenger said that but
I was already upstairs then.

Here it is.

What's it called again?
Not the bow visor...

The ramp.

Why do you think Kadak
withdrew his statement?

First he said that
there was water on

car deck and then
said there wasn't any.

I don't know anything
about their statements.

They're waiting in the hallway

ask them.

Yes, I heard about it on the
bridge after my last round

but I could'n read from
the captains behaviour

that the situation
was that serious yet.

In the info desk...

To get to the car deck

you had to go through the info
desk so they would open the door.

What time?

Precisely?

Try to remember
what time it was.

I'm not really able to
decide what time it was.

It was what it was.

I thought we agreed the tone of the
questions wouldn't be like this.

Could I just maybe tell you...

on which time, what I
did and where I did it.

When I...

got to the car deck...

it was quite soon
that I heard the bang.

Bridge. Seaman of the watch.

Bridge copy.

I heard a loud bang
from the bow just now.

What bang?

A loud clunk. Like
metal against metal.

Should I do something?

Are the cars fastened properly?

Yeah, they seem to be.

Check them.

Wait a second.

Bridge, the cars are all good.

Check the spaces on the side.

I'll go and check.

Yeah...

Bridge...

It's just rain water
coming out of air vents.

What about the ramp's
and the visor's lights?

I'll take a look.

Bridge, the signal
lights are green.

Am I allowed to get out of here?

Yeah, carry on with your round.

I did my round.

Which I did like I' always do: get
a stamp an go back to the bridge.

At this point the ship
was swerving so much

that I'd have to look
for walls for support.

Speed 15 knots, four
engines running.

Asking for a
permission to enter?

Permission granted.

You called about the
noise from the bow?

Exactly.

Now there are constant clanking
noises coming from there.

Wake up the boatswain.

Check what is going on.

Copy.

I tried to get in touch
with the boatswain.

I tried but couldn't.

I couldn't reach him.

So I had to go to
the car deck alone.

Could you open the door
to the car deck for me?

Wait a second, I'll
take care of this first.

- I'm a bit in a hurry.
- One moment please!

Open the door!

The door is open.
Somebody went in there.

Stand back!

Stand back!

There's water coming in.

Bridge! Seaman of the watch.
Bridge! Seaman of the watch.

There's water on the car deck!

Go to the deck!

All of you, go to the deck!

Bridge to the seaman.
Are you there now?

No! Nobody should go
there! There's water!

Go to the deck!

Siim!

Janek!

Siim!
- Janek!

The bridge is not responding!

I can't reach them, I can't...

What did they say on the bridge?

Can't reach the bridge!

This here as well!

Janek!

Watchman to the bridge!

Bridge! Can you hear me?

Janek!
- Pass them on!

The door got stuck!

Open the door, open it!

What is happening?

Have you found out
why he's lying?

Maybe he really can't remember
what happened in what order.

Or he's ashamed

feels he's done something wrong.

Or he feels he should be
able to give us an answer.

Anyway, this is going
to drag on for a bit.

I'm in charge of
the hearings today.

So I need to be here.

I just wanted to
tell you how I feel.

Yeah, I know.

I know that you know.

I know that you
know that I know.

I know that you know that
I know that you know.

I know that you know
that I know that...

I have to go.

Bye.

Bye.

Erik.

Can I show you something?

Come with me.

Come on.

Look.

The Germans know that
we're interviewing Tamm.

Yeah, but what if they're right?

That the crew made mistakes?

That the ship was
going too fast?

Or that you made modifications to
it, so that it became unseaworthy.

But those modifications
improved the ship.

But you seem to have misplaced
the documents proving that.

That could become
a problem for you.

You should put your
own house in order.

I see myself more
as an independent...

That's fine.

I'll take care of this.

Have you heard of
"reikäjuustoteoria"?

If it's blocked like
this, no problem.

What's "siivu" in English?

They get the information twice.

If there are several of
these overlapping holes

it begs the question

why the bridge didn't react to the
overlapping holes, or problems.

Do you want me to translate?
- Go ahead.

When I...

When I followed the captain
up the bridge's stairs...

then...

The mates had just
had a shift change.

They just had a shift change

and different men were on
the bridge at that point.

You remember that
there were new mates?

Asking for a
permission to enter?

Permission granted.

You called about the
noise from the bow?

Exactly.

Wake up the boatswain.
Check what is going on.

Yes!

Actually, I had to...

It must have been
around... 1:05 a.m.

That's why I must have heard

the bang close to 12:55 a.m.

So, at 1:05 a.m., the
bridge hadn't yet received

any concrete information
about the events.

I don't understand
what do you want?

What?

I didn't have any power
over anything on the ship

and I didn't do anything
to cause the accident.

You blame me.

Why do you do that?

How can I represent
the whole crew?

The whole country?

Where are the bosses?

Where are those who actually
are responsible for everything?

Why am I here?

Why am I sitting here?

Somebody owned the ship.

Somebody was responsible for its
condition and sending us out to sea.

Why am I here?

I don't know whether you understand
that being here is hard for me?

It's hard for the whole crew.

Every morning I wake
up feeling guilty.

And knowing I'm still
alive doesn't help.

My mates...

Many of them aren't any more.

And now I feel guilty that I
can't answer your questions.

I can't give you answers.

Take the life
jackets! All of you...

Watchman, do you hear me?

Bridge, do you hear,
what is happening?
