Gidseltagningen (2017) s01e05 Episode Script

1 This is Philip Nørgaard, from the PET Anti-Terrorism Unit.
I have 15 hostages.
The price is 4 million euros.
Weapons were stolen from Aalborg HQ.
So they might have bought the guns here in Denmark.
What the fuck do you want? - Just talk.
Think of the civilians.
Where did you get the guns? You sold the guns to terrorists, they now have 15 Danish hostages.
We have an address.
Don't you think the apartment has a garage? What the fuck? I keep thinking that guy is Ahmad but it might be just my nightmare.
Philip - I need you to be here now.
We are ready, are you? - I'm sorry, I can't do this.
I need to let the police do their job.
You were fine with this 2 days ago.
I'm Jonas.
- Who do you know of the hostages? My father.
- Is Leon your father? I wanna take care of the crowdfunding.
You make people feel like telling you their secrets.
It's me.
Next time you call, she'll answer.
Sure? - Yes, sure.
DAY 5 Good morning.
Is Philip here? - He's asleep.
They want him at the apartment.
- Who? - Simon and S.
P.
He hadn't slept in 3 days.
- I know but it's important.
Tell them I'm on my way.
- Ok.
Philip.
Fake death in the desert.
New special Anti-Terrorism Unit.
Found something? - Yes, in the garage a whole wall was dedicated to pictures of me.
Of you? - Yes.
Only yours? I feel a bit offended.
- Hans It doesn't mean anything.
You're a public figure, everybody knows you run the Unit.
They knew they were gonna deal with you so they studied the enemy.
Now you need to focus on the hostages.
Ok, Philip? Let's bring 'em up to Philip.
- Shit! It's an awful lot.
Hi.
- Hi, any contact with them? Nothing.
- Anything else on the apartment? It was rented 2 months ago to a Kenneth Larsen but the owner knows nothing.
Just a random victim.
Fingerprints? DNA? - A lot.
We'll match them with our database, Interpol is helping too.
Keep contact with the Interpol, I wanna know if we have a match with the fingerprints.
We gotta know who they are.
- We also got these.
Hold on one second! I know we're all tired and I know you're giving all you got.
But we gotta insist.
The hostages are under our feet and it's been 5 days.
They must be exhausted and the kidnappers as well.
They could easily lose their head.
Go on.
- Roger.
We'll let you know.
I think he has a broken rib.
Have you spoken to Denise since yesterday? - I said "hello" This waiting is killing me.
- What are you whispering about? We gotta do something! - Do not stir the water, it won't be of any help! Look at Rico, he's taking it quite well.
One two three! Cool trick.
- Let's not make things worse.
I won't stay here waiting to get killed! After the hijacking of 5 days ago, the traffic is going back to normal despite the still sealed areas of Kongens Nytorv and Marmorkirken.
So far, no solution has been found about the hostages' conditions.
Experts confirm that the situation of the hostages is going to get critical.
I hope to do more interviews, I'm waiting for them to call me.
Yes no I better hang up, in case the call.
Thanks for the kind words.
Hi.
- Hi Anything new? This wait is frustrating, I don't even know if they'll call.
What can we do? - I don't know.
Naja Toft.
- New interview, tonight, 8 pm.
Ok, 8 pm and who would I talk to? Could you give me the name of the hostage? Just be ready.
What if they make me interview your father? I don't know how he could react.
I'm gonna go easy.
Don't go too easy on me though.
Come.
We'll be out soon.
Do you have kids? She's 18 months old and very energetic.
It's so good when they're growing up because you can speak with them.
She can say "no" and "mom".
Also "Teletubbies".
- She must be a bright little girl.
I don't know where she got that from.
Surely, not from me.
Neither from her father.
Ok I don't wanna die before I got to really know her.
- My God I don't wanna.
- No We're all getting out of here together, I promise.
We can set ourselves free.
- Set ourselves? We have no chance! - We're 13, they're 3.
Right, except for the fact that except for the fact that we're in a cage and they have guns! We just have to disarm one.
Our gun, their problem.
Can we do it? I heard they'll have another interview tonight.
They'll be distracted, it's our chance.
Don't go around making alliances, we're all together here.
Then let's hope we get out together.
- We need to take a vote Keep your crappy advice for yourself, I'm doing what I want.
Grandma? They came! - Who came? What happened, Carl? The cops kicked us out of the rehearsal room.
That can't be right.
- They made us take away everything.
What are you gonna do? - Mom says to do what the cops tell me.
I didn't raise her to be so stiff but apparently I failed.
As a kid, I took her to barracks occupations and to the founding of Christiania.
Now instead it's all about obeying the law.
- Seems so! We told them we were gonna take the instruments out but we are not leaving.
We're occupying the building, it's war! - Good for you! That's why I'm here, do you have a sleeping-bag? I have everything, come.
What about something to eat? You'll need your strength.
- Of course! So Naja is back in the game.
We picked up a call from Alpha, they have an interview tonight at 8.
Live? - Yes and we can do nothing about it.
We need her cooperation, go talk to her.
Me? - You're good with people.
Why don't you go? - I'm not good at talking to people.
Especially her.
- Alright.
Thanks.
What's up? - We got results.
There is no existing match with the fingerprints we found in the garage.
We're at a dead end.
- Call me if anything comes up.
Nothing's more invigorating than doing sports in the afternoon.
Would you like to attend the interview? - What you mean? If it's gonna be your father, we can do it together.
I don't know - Wouldn't he be happy to see you? It would comfort him.
It could also help the fundraising.
People want to see the parents' faces.
- Yes, but I wouldn't want to demoralize him even more by exposing him.
Ok, I understand Absolutely.
Who is it now? Hello, Louise Falck, from the police.
I conduct the negotiations.
You mean with the kidnappers? - That's right.
Ok I was expecting someone more experienced.
We need to be present at tonight's interview.
How do you know I have an interview tonight? Are you tapping my phone? - Yes.
For how long? - Since the first interview.
Excuse me what do you want exactly? - Be present during the interview.
Out of the question.
- Naja, wait.
We all wanna solve this fast and without consequences.
If only we could - Forget it.
Have a nice trip back home.
Naja! Soon as the interview starts, we attack one of them and take his gun so that we can control the other one.
I saw some tools on the floor.
- How do we get those? I'll ask Charlie to let me out, he won't miss the chance.
He won't fall for that.
Hey, Rico.
You're in good terms with Bravo, right? - I wouldn't go that far.
You speak with him.
- He likes my tricks.
That's why we need you.
Denise found some tools Rico? Don't do it, please it'll end up bad.
We must do something.
Hey, Bravo.
Could I take a piss? I really need to piss.
You wanna take a piss? - Yes, please.
I have to.
Show me a trick first.
How the fuck do you do that? - Magic hands.
Can I please take a piss? Charlie! Wait.
Go.
You have 2 minutes.
- Yes.
Hurry up! - Yes.
Wait.
Scarf.
Let me see the scarf.
Go.
- Thank you.
It's not that I'm against democracy.
It's one of the best forms of government but it sucks anyway.
It's true we need rules but we also need to challenge them and prove them right.
So this is a new rebellion.
- About time! Good luck.
Thanks, grandma.
See you.
- Call me and let me know how it goes! Stay where you are.
You're going back in, this wasn't the deal.
Fucking cops! - Run! She'll have to cooperate.
- She simply doesn't want to.
What's her problem? - She don't have one our problem is that we can't force her.
She has exclusive access to the story of the century.
Is that why she won't help us with the hostages? She thinks she can save them, not us.
That's the other problem.
- What? That she's right.
- You too, now? She raised 14 million crowns, while we can't even contact the kidnappers.
So we just wait for the money and they're all free? They're only using her, she's much handy to them.
They might raise the price or start killing the hostages.
We must regain control of the situation and bring her to our side.
Our only chance is that you talk to her yourself, you know that.
Hi, Naja.
- I already said no to the little girl.
We need to talk.
- As you know, I have an interview.
I don't really have time now.
Let me stay.
- Thanks but no, thanks.
What if the rules would change? I didn't know there were rules.
- What if they kill three hostages? What then? Will you negotiate a cut-price deal? I don't negotiate with them.
- It's all a negotiation! They're using you for their purpose and we don't know what it is.
Surely not 30 million crowns and a flight to the South Seas.
I've talked to hostages, I've been one myself.
I could pick up expressions and attitudes that you wouldn't notice.
Four eyes instead of two.
I'll do the interview.
I make the schedule.
- 100%.
Do we agree? - We do.
You'll be sitting here.
Stay off the camera.
Don't say a word, I'll conduct the interview.
It's important.
I need one of you for an interview.
And I don't want any trouble this time.
Are you ready? - Yes, I'm ready to do the interview.
Who am I talking to? - Naja Toft, meet Rico.
Hi, Rico.
Thanks for talking to me.
- Not really my choice.
Two at the interview, one left alone.
Yes but Rico's not here.
How do we open the door? Hey, can I talk to you? Can't you see we're in the middle of an interview? Shut your mouth.
I understand but it's urgent.
- What do you want? I really need to go to the bathroom.
- No way.
I really need to go.
- You can go to the bathroom in an hour.
Shit in your fucking pants, I don't care.
I I did.
I I shit in my pants.
No, you didn't.
- Yes, I did.
You're fucking disgusting.
- Yea I know It's because you have these very strict bathroom rules and give this funny food It will take like 2 seconds please, come on, I really need to go.
You shitty pants how can you shit your own pants get back! Get the fuck back and put your arms on the head! There, go.
Get the fuck there! - I appreciate it.
Be quick! Ok, Rico.
We're about to start.
Is there something you wanna ask me first? Ok.
Will you say hello to Leon from his son? Leon has no sons.
- He's got one, Jonas.
I've known Leon for 15 years.
He has no sons, only two daughters.
Two daughters? - Yes, both grown up.
Hey! No more talking, wait for the interview.
Push here! Quick! What is it? - Ready? Welcome.
First, a brief summary: there's now 13 hostages.
Rico, how are you? - I've had more fun but I'm fine, given the circumstances.
How do you all spend the time? Waiting we just wait.
What else can we do? Hey! Wake up! Stay on your knees! No magic tricks if you want to I live alone.
No girlfriend, wife or kids Parents? - Yes You got something you wanna say to them? Hi, mom hi, dad if you're watching this, don't worry, I'll be fine Charlie! Don't show this! Shut it! I see a face, make a screenshot.
Are they transmitting? - Only for us.
What the fuck do you think you're doing? We're getting out of here and you're going to let us go or I'll kill this guy.
Then I'll kill this guy.
Hello! Hello! Everybody calm down! Everybody your attention, please! Some of you probably know me, my name is Philip Nørgaard and I'm head of the Danish Task Force Team.
This situation is not going to end well for anyone.
So, please, try to figure this out.
- What do you want? I wanna talk to you just me and you.
Give me your phone.
Alpha call Naja's phone.
Hello? Yes.
He wants to talk to you.
Ok Help me! Come here! Take his gun.
Keep it to his neck.
Yes? Can you hear me? - Yes.
Joachim, listen very carefully.
Find Naja's phone.
How do we get out of here? - It's not possible, for now.
If you keep this up, most of you will die.
I have a weapon, we got one of them.
We can't help you and you're facing two men with automatic rifles.
If they lose you Joachim, listen to me! Without you as guarantee, they have nothing and they know it.
I kill those two and it's all over.
- Have you fired an automatic weapon before? No.
It takes a few seconds to get used to how it moves.
They are pros, they have fired those rifles many times.
You're a very brave man, but you're gonna die and take all the others with you.
Do you understand? - We're going insane down here! You'll be out soon.
- Why aren't you doing anything?! We're doing everything we can.
I'm doing everything I can.
Joachim Trust me.
Fuck! Ok.
Denise, drop the gun.
Do it! Go with the others.
Get up, ok.
I'm gonna let him go, you let go of Rico.
What are you doing? - We're letting him go.
Come on, you go that way.
You get back into the cage! I still haven't understood what happened.
Did Carl fall because he was chased by the police? They were so excited.
- It was because they broke into the rehearsal room? He was outside the rehearsal room.
The police chased him because he was outside the studio? They threw a rock at the police not a big one.
They'd been told to leave the studio for some bureaucratic reason.
Carl was right, it's a stupid law.
The studio was abandoned anyway.
A stupid law? Tell me, are you 5? If the police tell you to leave a building, you just leave the building.
You don't throw rocks because you think everyone's a capitalist pig! It was stupid but it wasn't Carl who threw it.
Society needs youth movements just like Christiania Don't go talk to me about the good old days! I remember well! Parents so stoned they weren't even looking after their children! Carl should be studying for university, instead he's in a coma! Because his grandma can't let go of her hippie dreams! You're no longer welcome in our house.
Stay away from Carl! Do you understand this one rule? Not now, Bodil.
Still no match? - Unfortunately no.
Try with the Interpol.
- Ok.
Philip, great job.
- Thanks.
I could have gotten more, one free hostage maybe.
You prevented a possible massacre.
What you got? - Nothing so far.
Let me see again.
Come on, move! Don't fucking touch me! - You're cuter when you're angry.
Charlie, get him.
What Joachim did was really stupid.
Ballsy but stupid.
I told you this the very first day.
I told you that we would have no patience with troublemakers.
I told you that if you tried to fight you would be punished hard.
I told you to sit tight and stay calm.
Leave him alone, you fucking pigs! Very good pizza.
A glass of wine would be good.
The elevator's coming up!
