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.
