Estonia (2023-…): Season 1, Episode 8 - Slutrapporten - full transcript

What?

Is it just us?

What?!

Aren't there any others?

I can't hear you!

We're taking you
to the hospital!

Were there any other family
members with you on the ship?

Were you alone?
Have you seen them?

Can you tell us what happened?

How did you survive?

What happened?



103 boarding passes
have been checked

we learned about this
just a moment ago.

The Estonia is jointly owned by

a Swedish shipyard and
the republic of Estonia.

And out of all the
188 crew members

this many have now been checked
13 of them were Swedish...

Did you give us your
personal information?

We need to double-check
some things

before getting into
what you remember.

Is that okay?

Hello?

Hi.

Can I talk to Ari,
please? Is he there?

Just a moment.



- Luoma-aho.
- Hi.

This is Jenny. From...

You saved me from the raft.

Okay.

Sorry, but how did
you get my number?

Do you know what happened
to the little boy?

Listen.

I have no idea why
the accident happened.

Yes.

I'm glad you're OK.

I just wanted to say...

Thank you.

Thank you.

I was just doing my job.

Hey, come on.

Pass me the ball, come on.

Looks great.

Henri.

Everybody's here.

Is everything okay?

What's the atmosphere like?

Unusually quiet.

How about you?

Raud promised to take my side.

And you trust him?

He promised.

Come on, let's see how it goes.

Okay.

The Government and
I agree on this.

We see no reasons to halt this.

A delay would be expensive

and cause the families
even more grief.

The families that I have talked to
fear that the wreck will be looted.

That is all I have
to say for now.

Right...

The experts claim that
they can salvage the ship.

Technically, it's possible.

The tech exists.

They can tow, they
can lift everything.

But despite that...

decision-makers are saying
that they don't want to.

Why?

Why do they say that?

They were totally silent the
first few days after the accident.

Don't you find that odd?

Yes?

But didn't the Prime Minister make
a speech the day after the accident?

Yes, he did. He made a speech.

Absolutely.

Initially, they said they
wanted to lift everything up.

The ship. Everything.
It's doable.

Then they changed their minds
and said something else.

First this, then that.

But can we really say
that they were silent?

No, we can't, but...

We'll discuss that next week.

Class is over.
Thank you for today.

As to the excursion tomorrow
see you at eight o'clock sharp.

Don't forget to
bring packed lunch.

Hi.

My mom said that you
were on board the ship.

I'm sorry, but...

I have decided that I can't...

talk about it.

Don't you have gym class?

Thank you for today.

Yes...
- You'll be late.

- Okay. Bye.
- Bye.

We got this from the German
shipyard five minutes ago.

Preliminary report.

The theory proposed
by the Commission

does not explain the accident.

If that theory were true the
ship would not have sunk.

In other words

there is something else
that has not been disclosed.

Are you okay?

Sorry.

I don't know why I'm
reacting this way.

No need to apologise.

Why can't they just
say what happened?

How hard can it be?

No one is saying anything.

You can wrap that
around you tighter

yourself. Let's get
you to the barracks.

Everything is alright now.

Here are some things
from the choppers.

We don't know who
they belonged to.

If anyone remembers something

it might help us identify
some of the people we found.

Don't worry about it.

Let's get you warm.

Anna Göransson,
teacher from Sweden.

Hi.

My name is Olli Falk.
- Hi.

We're trying to get you a
ride to the hospital in Turku.

They will want to ask you
about what you remember.

I...

I don't know what I remember.

Just try to remember
what you can.

I want to call my family.

Right now, we're collecting
everyone's information.

We'll be updating the
survivors' families.

But my husband doesn't
know where I am.

Is there someone
called Göransson here?

Kenneth Göransson?

Kenneth Göransson.

Is there a Kenneth
Göransson here?

I... My name is Kenneth.

Listen...

My name is Kenneth.
- I think this is your wife.

Are you up for talking?

It's Kenneth.

Hi, is that you Anna?

Hello?

Anna?

Anna?

There's no one there.
- Yes yes...

Hello.

Anna...?

Anna...

Is that you...

Anna?

Hello?

I can talk to him.
- Anna...

Olli Falk here.

I'm calling from the
regiment at Utö island.

We have your wife here.

Anna Göransson.

We're calling to let you know

that she was on board the
Estonia but she's alive.

She made it.

Physically, she's okay
under the circumstances.

But I'm afraid she doesn't have
the strength to talk right now.

I'll tell her that.

Honestly, I'm not sure

if the survivors are worse
off than the families.

Our organization is talking

to lawyers from the
International Support Group.

They're about to sue the shipyard
and the classification society.

I know.

They approached us, too.

Shouldn't our
organisations team up?

It would make us much stronger.

Honestly...

many in our organisation were on
board the ship. Myself included.

Our families are
still down there.

Okay, I think almost
everyone's here.

Welcome.

Let's see...

Let's start with...

the first item on the
agenda: insurance claims.

The insurance companies are
reviewing a compensation plan

for survivors and families.

According to the list, that
is roughly 2,300 people.

Excuse me...

Excuse me, but has anyone said
anything about retrieving the bodies?

When will they take
them out of the sea?

According to the authorities

that would be expensive.

And difficult.

Apparently, it is absolutely
impossible to do that now.

So they're only talking
about money now?

It's not just that.

According to the experts

that the bodies can't be
retrieved after all this time.

They...

break.

I'm sorry...

but that's my wife
you're talking about.

My wife is still down
there in the wreck.

And so is my father-in-law.

Sorry, but it feels strange talking
about fairness and compensation

when our losses are
so very different.

I understand that.

I also think that we all
understand why we're here.

I just have to say one thing.

I understand that the reluctance
to salvage the Estonia

provokes very strong
emotions in some of you.

I also know that some of you
don't share that sentiment.

I should tell you
that I'm taking part

in the discussions
about how to proceed.

And...

We are looking for a respectful
way to handle the deceased.

Our aim is to...

let the Estonia
become a burial site.

What we're working on...

What all three countries
are working towards

is to declare the Estonia a
burial site as soon as possible.

But... Excuse me, Mikaela

but they also want to cover
the wreck with concrete.

Yes.
- It doesn't make sense.

I don't get it. How can anyone
then examine it from the inside?

It's to protect the wreck

and a way to create
a burial site.

The sea is a worthy burial site.
- I don't give a fuck about that.

Sorry, but I don't give
a fuck about history.

I want my wife to come home.

Let's all calm down a little.

One thing at a time.

The most important thing is
that we are being listened to

and that this insurance
claim is moving forward.

It is also a part of...

I can't let this go.

I want to know about those
talks on recovering the bodies.

I want my wife.

It's as simple as that. I
know that we're all different.

But I must be allowed
to say how I feel.

But, Oscar...

If they were to
salvage the Estonia

I think a lot of people
would be very upset.

Handling the bodies in
such an unworthy manner...

Unworthy manner?!
- Yes, dead bodies being...

Yes. But it's my
turn to talk now.

Mikaela, please.

Just one thing.

What I'm saying...
No, I am not!

What do you mean? Be clear!
- Yes! I'll say this...

What are you going to do if
you don't find your wife?

If you don't find
anyone down there?

Or just one?

Calm down!

Can I speak?!

I want to bring my wife home.

I don't give a fuck
about anything else!

I want her home!

You're fucking telling me that
my wife is going to be fish food!

Calm down!

Sorry, but nobody's
listening to me!

Yesterday, the final
report was published.

It points to a defect
in the ship's bow visor

as a contributing
cause of the disaster

which became fatal
in the harsh weather.

Is the report telling the truth?

I dare say definitely not.

That is, however

one variation, how
to describe events

which is certainly
not the whole truth.

If I may just say this
from the human side

I am very angry and upset

that other theories
haven't found their place.

They assured me that

this report would contain
a number of appendices.

But the appendix that
I wrote, for example

about the Estonian crew's
involvement in the accident

is not included at all.

And I have to say that it makes
me very, very disappointed.

Many of us who were on
that ship and survived

have been surprised by the fact that
nobody cared what we had to say.

Not a single passenger
has been interviewed

by the international
investigation commission.

That didn't go too badly.

Well...

Wake up!

The phone has been
ringing all day.

I took it off the hook.

How are you?

I don't want to talk about it.

It might help.

I don't want to talk about it.

- It's time to get up now.
- Leave me alone.

Get up.
- Go away.

Get up!
- Get out!

Fine.

The Estonia's final accident report
has aroused a lot of criticism.

According to major
accident investigator

Pasi Toukola, the board's work

was delayed by changes
to its line-up.

Toukola also criticizes the
actions of the German shipyard

that built the Estonia,
which have further delayed

the completion of the report.

According to accident
investigator Henri...

Could you please turn that off?

criticism was
expected but according

to him, the report
provides an...

Thank you.

Unequivocal explanation...

Do you know if someone
new is coming here?

No.

Just wondering why
they want to get the

room empty so quickly
if no one is coming.

Maybe they want to get rid of you now
that everything has been cleared up.

What do you think?

You must have been
following the investigation.

I've watched the
news with my sister.

Do you think everything
has been cleared up?

Well, it was on the news the
evening after the accident.

They said it was the bow visor.

How long have you been
investigating this now?

And now you're telling me
the bow visor was to blame.

When...

they rescued me that morning

They flew me to the island.

No one asked me
about my friends.

No one.

About those who didn't make it.

And Lina, who...

who didn't make it...

Lina, who...

didn't make it up the stairs.

My husband didn't
ask me anything.

I...

I didn't talk about it, either.

I...

don't know why.

I was just trying
to block it out.

I understand.

But how could I do that?

How could I try to forget
something like that?

I don't think you're
forgetting it deliberately.

I think it's a way for
you to protect yourself

a way for you to go on.

They tried to identify people
using their belongings.

So, I...

took this.

I think...

it was Lina's.

But I'm not sure.

It could have been
someone else's.

What if...

What if...

there's someone they
couldn't identify

because I took this?

Don't worry, Anna.

We're here now.

We're here now, and we remember.

Right?

Hello.

This disaster...

has affected us all

in different ways.

It's a collective trauma.

But at the same time,
it is deeply personal.

Because each and every one of
you has a unique experience.

For some of you, it
has been difficult

to move forward with
your mourning process.

That process has been interrupted by
new information about the accident

raising new questions

and doubts.

Investigations and legal proceedings
have followed one another.

I'd like to ask you something.

Is it true that it's peaceful and
quiet in the eye of the storm?

It's been more quiet
for a couple of days.

I don't know.

It's probably the same thing
with the family members.

How come?

Whereas they were thinking about
why they lost their loved ones

you're thinking why the
investigation went the way it did.

And will continue doing so
for quite some time, too.

You had three years
to find causes.

But they're not explanations.

Some say that the
families of the victims

will never have

a satisfactory explanation

to help you move forward
in your mourning.

I'm an outsider.

And I have not experienced what
you have had to go through.

I'm aware of that.

But I wonder...

if these wounds, perhaps,
are not meant to heal.

So that an accident like
this never happens again.

So that we will never forget

what happened here

on September 28, 1994.

I think...

that it is our
obligation to not forget.

Not only for our loved
ones and for the victims.

But for everyone.

For everyone.

To prevent this from
ever happening again.

I bought something for us.

A cruise?

Yeah.

A gift cruise?

To Stockholm.

Thanks.
