Attack on Finland (2021) - full transcript

Finland's Independence Day celebration on December 6 is crudely interrupted by an attack on the Presidential Palace. A set of distinguished guests are taken as hostages. Security service officer Max Tanner (Jasper Pääkkönen) is set as the negotiator of the hostage crisis and soon it is clear that the main target behind the terrorist attack is a plan to destabilize the security of Europe. Tanner must make bold and even painful decisions to figure out who is behind the attack. After all, there are not only human lives to protect, but the future of Europe as a whole.

Sylvia, I know now's
not a good time, but...

Yeah?

We should talk.

We will, but not now.

Okay.

The signal is still active,

so... we're good to go.

Madsen, Tanner, listen up.

According to our intel,
the house is empty.

The Titov family
left this afternoon.

The house next door
is on the market,



and also without residents.

But still proceed with caution.

Almost there.

Is this your first
holiday break-in?

Nah. This is just a
regular weekend break-in.

It's not Christmas yet.

Signal is green.

You're good to go.

Cyber crime pays
pretty well, huh?

- Nice house.
- Mm-hmm.

Unlocking.

Okay, we're in.

Look at that. Money
can't buy you style.

Shut up.



Agents are proceeding
to the second floor.

You need to manually scan

to pinpoint the correct device.

-Signal is green.
-That's the one. Take it and leave.

Please, don't...

Stay on the floor.

I'm not gonna hurt you.

Hey, hey, hey! The
house is not empty.

There's a child in
one of these bedrooms.

Movement, four Tangos,

on foot. Next door.

Send the car.

Fifteen seconds.

Alarm has activated.

Get out of there now.

Almost done.

Oh, my God, I, I shot a child.

I shot a child.

Additional movement
inside the house.

- Come on!
- We need to get them out of there now.

- Come on, breathe.
- We have to go.

Leave him!

-Stay out!
-Sylvia, we have to go! Come on!

Evacuate via the north balcony.

Tanner, Madsen, report!

Is the computer
traveling with you?

Affirmative.

How the fuck did
that just happen?

It was not your fault.

I don't care who's
fucking fault it was.

I shot a kid.

A fucking kid. I shot a kid.

It was not your fault.

The boy agent Madsen shot dead

was Leonid Titov's son, Yuri.

Sylvia Madsen is not to blame.
It was my responsibility.

I'm not laying blame. I
just need to make sure

the Swedes get opportunities
to analyze her.

Political correctness is
imperative on this matter.

Everything must go by the book.

We have Titov's computer.
His son used to play online.

Once our people crack it,

we expect definite
proof against Titov.

Money laundering, disinformation
campaigns, etcetera.

But we can't use
any of that now.

The incident has been reported
as a burglary-homicide.

We're denying all
EU involvement.

And unofficially?

Well, Titov still has a
lot of pull in Russia.

He's protected.

- Okay.
- I have some housekeeping to do here.

And you will go back to Finland.

For now.

Anything else?

No.

You're saying she made a
mistake during the operation.

- No.
- -And after this incidence,

would you work with
Sylvia Madsen again?

Yes, I would.

Hmm.

Hey, Sylvia...

just wanted to call you.

Call me back...
when you get this.

Vasa?

My name is Anya.

How did you find me?

- What do you want?
- I'm a lawyer,

and I have a
proposition for you.

- So...
- I know you're in financial trouble.

How did you know that?

I can help you.

How?

Your father is Colonel
Borislav Jankovic.

- Yes?
- Yeah.

I know he was
wrongfully accused.

Sentenced to prison.

And the EU is writing
your country's history

to their favor at the same time.

It's very sad.

My employer offers you
the opportunity to...

make it up to your father.

And also become
extremely wealthy.

I am not a mercenary
and I'm not a criminal.

There are lots of good men like
that still loyal to your father

and also to your late brother.

They will help.

Think about it.

How wealthy?

Astronomically.

General Morel has recently
approached EU leaders,

with a proposal that
the EU should tighten

its economic sanctions
against Russia, if Russia

does not stop protecting
cyberattacks, and this information...

General Morel is a somewhat
controversial figure

right now. So he
needs protection

for his trip to Finland.

He is in very good terms
with your president.

They're old friends.

But given your country's
special relationship

with Russia, I predict some
political turmoil on the horizon.

Should we arrange a
security detail for him?

Not necessary.

We'll do it...

Discreetly, under the radar.

I already have someone
perfect for the job.

Hey, it's Sylvia.

Hey there.

I'm sorry, I haven't called.

Yeah, don't worry about it.

It was pretty...

tough after everything
that happened.

Yeah, I know.

How are you feeling now?

Well, I'm, I'm back at work.

And I'm coming to Helsinki.

- Oh!
- Yeah, I'll be there

for a couple of days. Will,

will you have time to say hello?

I'd like that.

Maybe we can...

do something fun.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And it was a good shot too.

I'm just going to wear my suit.

A black suit.

So you wanna look
like his bodyguard?

I am his bodyguard!

- That's all you are?
- Yeah.

- Just a bodyguard?
- Mm-mm.

Nothing else?

No.

Is Morel dirty?

I haven't said anything.

I'm just his bodyguard.

- I take that as a yes.
- Mm-hmm.

Shh!

Okay.

- Ugh!
- Okay.

- Um...
- So it's my turn.

Oh damn.

Why haven't you
started a family?

Settle down, raise
a couple of kids...

Maybe I haven't found
the right person

to start a family with.

Is there a right person?

Yeah, there is. But...

it's impossible.

Okay.

How's Stefan?

He's fine.

Home with the kids alone, again.

So, this is me.

Are you coming?

You still haven't said
what you wanted to say.

I know.

It's good that I'm here
for another night then.

Finnish Independence
Day is celebrated

on the 6th of December.

The celebrations are
preceded by a ritual greeting

of esteemed guest.

This year, there will
be a significant number

of diplomats and
cultural representatives,

among the invited guests.

The official celebrations of
Finland's Independence Day

began this morning when
the Finnish flag was raised

at Helsinki's Tähtitorninmaki.

The president of
Finland began his day

with the laying of wreath
at the graves of heroes

of World War II and the
grave of Marshal Mannerheim.

The presidential couple's day
continues with the traditional

festive service at the
Helsinki's cathedral.

Finland became
independent in 1917.

The Republic of Finland
is a member of EU

and has been active
both in the United...

Good evening, sir.

Would you like a drink?

I just opened a
bottle of champagne.

Well, I guess one
glass won't hurt.

Thank you.

Cheers.

The republic of Finland
gained its independence

from Russia back in 1917

and is today a strong
member of the EU.

Though some would argue
that its shared border

with Russia explains why Finland

has yet to join NATO.

But today is a day of
celebration for the Finns.

Behind me, the Presidential
Palace is now filling

with distinguished luminaries,
diplomats and royalty.

A hugely popular pastime
for the general public

will be watching the live
broadcast from the palace

and gossiping about who's
wearing what and with whom.

Empress to Omerta, do you read?

I read you. Go ahead, Empress.

Gatecrasher is in
place... 17 minutes.

Copy, 17.

It was an important decision.

You have a large airspace.

- It must be defended.
- Yes.

Finland's role has
always been important...

- Yeah.
- For Europe and the UN.

Yeah.

The process has been,
has been challenging.

Especially concerning
the HX fighter program.

It's our strategy
against hybrid warfare.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

Sylvia?

O?

Three minutes.

Gatecrasher is ready to go.

Activating signal distortion.

Drop your weapons!

Face the wall!

Hand on your head!

Nobody moves!

Stay down!

Get down!

Get down!

Gun on the floor.

Put the gun down!

Down! Down! On the floor!

On the floor.

Step one completed.

Stay down!

I'm speaking to you
from the main hall.

Stay down,

stay on the floor and be calm.

Phone service is down.

Data is down.

We have control.

Everybody stay on the ground.

Do not do something stupid.

Don't move.

Get over here!

Nobody move!

All doors are equipped
with explosives.

So don't try to run.
That goes for every room.

Stay on the floor and be calm.

We're gonna dim the lights.

Stay down.

We have control.

Nobody's gonna get hurt.

Mr. President.

Get up.

Move.

Move!

Omerta, report.

Doors secured.

Move, outside.

Move.

Out.

Move!

Left.

Go up! Up!

Put him through.

Um, it's Peter
Nylund from Helsinki.

Our Presidential Palace...

is under armed attack.

O, have you located the target?

No. No, not yet.

Find him.

General Morel...

please show yourself.

Save us some time.

You definitely don't want
us to start shooting people.

I'm going to execute hostages.

I'm here.

Move.

Who's this?

She's my date.

She's your date?

Take her too. She's
part of the package.

We will need her later.

Move.

Sit down.

Hands.

This is Lieutenant
Marcus Tanner here.

Who am I speaking with?

Are you in charge?

I'm the negotiator.

Who's this?

This is Vasa Jankovic.

We've heard some gunshots.

Is everybody okay there?

Well, we didn't
come to harm anyone.

How's the president?

He's good.

And everybody else?

They're good.

I would like you to
send us some proof

that everybody's okay.

Can you do that for me?

First, I wanna give
you a little gift.

The call is disconnected.

Everybody up.

Now!

Come on, come on. Faster.

Move!

Let's go! Move!

Move, move, move!

Step two completed.

Good. Proceed as planned.

This is Tanner speaking.

We will not be releasing any
more guests at this time.

Is our president still with you?

Yeah, he's still here.

He's here among, um...

yeah, let's say, uh, a
group of special people.

We will keep them.

So what are your demands?

My demands are...

number one...

the liberation of my father...

Borislav Jankovic.

I want him transported

here in a helicopter.

Number two,

a private plane...

fueled and ready to
fly at Malmi airport.

Number three...

I need a person capable

of moving cryptocurrencies,

available to me in not
more than 30 minutes.

Then I will give you
more instructions later.

About 1300 guests...

We've looked into
that DDoS attack.

There were thousands of
computers in that botnet.

Professional stuff. This strike

seems to be backed
with big money.

They must be after
something specific.

Sylvia Madsen is still
inside with general Morel.

She can handle herself.

She's not just Morel's
bodyguard, is she?

No, it's a cover to observe
and investigate Morel.

- Why?
- That's classified.

Now I want you to join
an intelligence briefing

with me and the
Finnish authority.

Yes, ma'am.

Borislav Jankovic was
convicted in Hague,

and has served his
sentence in Sweden

and now here in Finland.

Vasa is he's only surviving
son. Jankovic has been

imprisoned for years, but
this is not just about him.

General Morel

was leader in an operation

to catch and convict Jankovic.

Morel is pro-NATO and promotes

tighter sanctions
against Russia.

- Moscow.
- -Cyberattacks are a strong indication of that.

I gotta go.

I assume my demands
are being delivered.

Vasa, you have people
there who run my country.

I need to know everybody's
alive and well.

After that, we can discuss
releasing your father.

Did you notice I just released
several hundred people?

Yes I did, but I still
need proof of life.

Especially of the
President of Finland.

- You'll get it.
- No, I need it now.

Don't tell me what to do.

Could you please prove
it to me right now?

He needs to know you're okay.

Satisfied?

Yes, for now.

You really think your father
was wrongly prosecuted?

Let's talk about my money.

You don't think he
was a war criminal?

I want a hundred million
euros in bitcoins.

- A hundred million?
- Yes.

Vasa, I'm sure you understand...

I don't really have access

to that kind of
money right away.

Well, I'm sure your
Ministry of Finance

will find a solution.

Let's just talk about this.

No, this is non-negotiable.

The call is disconnected.

Empress.

Omerta.

Step three completed.

Good.

We'll see if
they're good for it.

Put these on.

Get up.

Can I get some water?

No.

I need to go to the bathroom.

Shut the fuck up, sit down.

You, up. Up!

Give me your hands.

Sit down.

I have a question,
Mr. President.

Why did you support the
illegal war in Kosovo?

You were a part of it.

You were responsible.

- We had to agree with more powerful European nations...
- Right.

Right, EU countries.

So you want Finland
to be a part of NATO?

That's not my decision.

Do you know my mother
was killed in Kosovo?

In a humanitarian strike.

Did you know that?

June, 1999.

Broad daylight, 70 people dead.

Put your mask on.

Your father has landed.
- Good.

And a plane is ready
at the Malmi airport.

And the money?

Your funds are
transferring as we speak.

- Okay.
- We had an agreement.

We need you to
release the hostages.

You just have to trust me.

It's all here.

We're moving.

I have some new
instructions for you.

Listen to me carefully.

The plan has changed.

I want you to kill him.

You understand?

O, watch out.
Movement on the roof.

Move!

Move, move.

- Come on.
- Move, move.

Faster, go, go, go, move!

Move.

Now!

The other stairs third
floor service elevator.

Omerta, go to plan B.

Masks!

We move. Go!

Go, go, go.

Keep going.

Let's get this plane ready.

We need to be in
air in five minutes.

Get into the plane! Now!

Hurry up.

Stop.

Keep your hands so
that I can see them.

Keep your hands so
that I can see them.

Where are you?

We're on our way to
the landing zone.

The target is down.

You did good.

Proceed to destination.

Shut up.

This is where I
want you to land.

Set the course.

Vasa.

Get this plane in the air, now.

They're flying in the dark
with the transponder off.

Oscar Hotel Whiskey India X-ray
is leaving Finnish airspace,

uh, to Russian airspace,
St. Petersburg control area.

Okay, we can continue.

A NATO AWACS plane has
been tracking the Falcon.

It's on vector to go
into Belarus airspace

in a matter of minutes.

Belarus?

So is Titov behind this?

It looks like it, yes.

And Moscow's backing him up.

Vasa Jankovic wanted
to save his father,

but I'm sure
someone else ordered

the murder of your president.

There's one of our
guys on the plane.

I need to use the bathroom.

Okay, hands up.

Police! Sit down!

Ah.

We're landing in eight minutes.

We know the abductor's
destination.

It's an old industrial complex

that used to house
a troll factory

during the Brexit referendum.

Now this part of
Belarus is unstable.

It doesn't have a
reliable regime.

I can't get involved officially.

There's no way I can
send a strike team

over the border into Belarus.

We have an agent and
a top general there.

You put Sylvia into this position,
and I need to get her out.

Yes, and all I can provide
is satellite surveillance

and extraction from the border.

No one to get me over?

I have Jonesy and Sinclair.

- Those two mercenaries.
- They were part of a black op

against the BS factory. The
operation never happened.

But they do know the
way around the area.

The unconfirmed number of
casualties is seven at this stage.

Okay, Tanner. We're
approaching the border

of Lithuania and Belarus.

Prepare for landing.

What's the craic, Tanner?

Jonesy, Sinclair.

- How are you?
- You're late.

This one's not gonna be
an easy money job, okay?

Yeah, I'm used to it. I'm Irish.

Plug my hole, Tanner.

We're currently five
klicks from the border.

-There's way to sneak
in by the old riverbed,

but... it's tricky.

After that, you're on your own.

All right, let's move.

Loaded and ready.

The gas.

Vasa Jankovic!

Finally we meet.

Vasa.

Leonid Titov.

You must be very tired?

Interesting times.

I'm very sorry
about your father.

And I'm very sorry about this...

I'm like Darth Vader.

I'm changing the deal.

Tanner, do you read me?

- I read you, go ahead.
- Good.

We have you on satellite.

Aerial surveillance
shows at least

three casualties on the ground.

Yeah, we heard the shots.

Anything else?

They have backup generators,

so it's no use taking
it of the power grid.

You'll have to sneak
in and improvise.

Yeah.

Omerta.

You have performed
extremely well in Finland.

Cheer up.

Okay?

Show me the gifts you brought.

Hmm.

And how are you...

Agent Madsen?

She's, uh, a part of European
special police force.

See the bridge?

Yeah.

The guards patrol it.

See the sewers on
the other side?

That will take you straight to
the perimeter and the compound.

You're on your own, son.

Thanks a million.

Anytime.

You'll be fine, Tanner.

Finland never wins...

but neither loses.

We've locked on to agent
Tanner's tracking signal.

There's no need to be so grumpy.

And now I'm very sorry,
but I need to borrow

your retina for a moment.

Hmm.

Thank you for your donation.

And keep it straight.

You understand... that I can't
be associated with terrorist.

Tanner, you popped up

on our screen again. Proceed

through the doorway,
step at the wall.

General Morel!

Are you ready for the
statement of your life?

This is the place where
you're going to declare

the whole world that
you have been part

of a group of ultra-right
officers, financed by Moscow.

Fuck you.

We had a deal, Jean.

You can fuck over warlords,
dealers, hackers...

but you can't fuck over
hardline business man.

Elena?

Cross the inner courtyard
heading northwest.

-The troll factory
is located at...

Now, the server is in the
renovated quarters at the far end

of the courtyard.

Based on our intel...

My name is General Jean Morel.

What I am about to tell you

is going to be denied

by the leaders of the EU.

But I swear to you... it's true.

Tanner, do you read me?

Visual on Vasa Jankovic.

Do not expose yourself. Your
mission is to save Morel.

Tanner...

do you read me?

Tanner!

We made a deal.

You broke it.

Back off!

Back off!

Where are they?

Next building.

Who helped you? Who
helped you in Helsinki?

Russians.

You're gonna shoot me?

Stay out of my way.

Your turn... Agent Madsen.

It was your son,
the boy in Tallinn?

Yes.

It was my Yuri.

Media reported that he was
killed by thieving junkies.

Are you a thieving junkie...

agent Madsen?

I'm sorry about your loss.

Yeah.

You were just doing
your job, huh?

Correct.

Your job now is to tell

the whole world
who is responsible.

And I want all
names, agent Madsen.

All EU officials who are
responsible of killing children.

Read the text...

and your children
will be not harmed.

I promise you.

From parent to parent.

Read the text.

Get the gun!

Let's go!

Take a jacket!

Hurry! Come!

Take cover!

Sylvia Madsen, code 612.

Request is from
pinpoint location.

And an immediate air support.

Okay, you go that way.

Tweet this.

Massive data disruption detected

in conjunction with
several explosions.

It's Sylvia Madsen.
She's on the roof.

Call in the chopper.

Take cover, take cover.

That side.

Hide over there.

Sylvia!

Sylvia!

Tanner, over here.

He's one of us.

What a surprise.

It's good to see you.

Good to see you.

I'm guessing you had something
to do with the explosion.

Yeah, I might have.

The chopper has
entered Belarusian

airspace, flying at 300 feet.

Ghost 1, emergency evacuation...

Landing zone Bravo.

Ghost 1, going in
landing zone Bravo.

Tanner, give them
a smoke signal.

Chopper inbound, east side.

Intercept estimated 20 seconds.

Landing zone is too hot.

Several Tangos on the roof.

Smoke!

Cover up!

- Go, go, go, go.
- Go!

Come on, let's go!

Do we have the General?

Primary objective secured.

Come on, Tanner!

Heavy fire. Go! Go!

Wait.

Don't leave him!

Let's circle back.

Hold tight, I'm
gonna circle back.

Warning, incoming.

Flares fired.

One more agent is on the roof.

Leave him.

Ghost 1, abort mission.

Return to base.

Huh? Whoa.

Anya.

Let's take a walk.

I knew somebody was gonna come.

I'm just surprised it's you.

I was the one who recruited you.

And now you've come
to get rid of me.

Yes.

I probably deserve it.

I have some friends
in Buenos Aires.

They'll take care of you.

Am I still gonna get
astronomically rich?

No.

But you'll get by.

Have a good life.

Max.

Well, this is a surprise.

It's good to see you.

You want... to know what
happened in Belarus.

Why did I leave you behind?

Well, Tanner, we're
both professionals.

We both have to do what it takes
to accomplish our missions.

My job is to give orders.

Your job is to follow them.

Why did they kill our president?

Your president shapes
Finnish opinions.

And he was making preparations
for Finland to join NATO.

The powers behind Titov wanted to
delay this in any way possible.

Titov got away.

We'll get him eventually.

And Vasa Jankovic?

Once used, he was expendable.

So, Tanner...

you're ready to
get back to work?

I know now is not
a good time, but...

we need to talk.

Well, Max Tanner...

nothing is impossible.
