Original subtitles

- I'm wearing earrings. - You look beautiful, darling.

Very pretty. A kiss. Have a good day.

Jonas, stay for breakfast.

I can't, dear. They're waiting for me on the boat.

I'll be back early.

Mommy, read to me.

I'll be gone all day. Take care of your mother, Jim.

Good morning, Jimmy.

Mr. �ngelo is already on the ship.

Come on, we can't waste time.

And then the wolf came and grandma hides... and...

In bed. And when he comes in, she says,

'Oh, what big eyes you have. ' And the wolf says, 'All the better to... '

- Mom, they're wearing hockey masks. - I know, Jimmy.

Good morning, Mrs. Bracken.

Do as we say, and you won't get hurt.

Put them inside, quickly.

- Is the transmitter in place? - Yes, in the library.

- Let's go. - Mommy...

You wretch! She's only three years old.

Shut up!

- Susie, it's okay, it's okay! - Be quiet!

Here is the list of the dead.

Names and functions they performed in the house.

Very good.

- Any contact? - Not yet.

- They left a note, right? - It's at your house.

- What are they asking for? - They didn't specify conditions.

They left a radio transmitter.

I have a question, Mr. Bracken.

Why did you leave so early this morning?

I had guests on my yacht. A breakfast meeting.

How many of my servants died?

All of them.

- All of them? - All of them, Mr. Bracken.

Wait to hear and listen clearly.

The rich will share, or they will die.

I understand how you feel, Mr. Bracken.

But don't forget that, besides the personal damage they caused you,

They committed a very serious criminal act.

But you can be sure that the safe return of your family,

- Will be my main mission. - Captain Nikolidis.

The recording equipment is ready.

Mr. Bracken, this is Dimitri, my nephew.

I am very sorry for what happened.

I'm sure we'll find a way to rescue your family.

Dimitri will stay with you waiting for radio contact.

Someone will always be next to the transmitter. I'll take the first shift.

Amalfi, we have guests.

The TV that's on the co-pilot's seat is mine...

So, be careful and don't touch it.

Don't worry, we won't touch anything.

A pleasure trip, isn't it, McCabe?

And the two bullet holes in the windshield, can those be called pleasure?

- Problems? - Something small, but I'll fix it.

Is there anything I can take with me to Beirut?

- So you still don't know? - Don't know what?

- The news. Newspapers. - I haven't read newspapers in a while.

This is from yesterday.

American industrialist's family kidnapped. No contact yet.

I'm very sorry, McCabe.

When you're done, clean the cabin as well.

I'm tired of riding in garbage.

It was your son they took.

It's been nine years since I've seen him.

The rattle was bigger than him.

Give me my money.

And your wife too?

Yes, of course. I still remember.

In the beginning, we got along well. My money.

What are you going to do with all that money?

Pay for my freedom.

Freedom is expensive. You know that, Karl.

See you around.

Goodbye, McCabe.

Who are you? What do you want from me and my children?

- What do you want? - This is the people's prison.

They are prisoners of the World Revolutionary Army Activist.

You and your children will help our cause.

What cause?

We fight to liberate the oppressed people of the world.

Do whatever you want to me, but free my children!

Please, let them go. Let them go!

- Mr. Backen is waiting for me. - Go upstairs.

Hold this for me? Thanks.

We're okay. They didn't do anything to us.

They instructed me to tell you nothing will happen to us,

If you follow the instructions to the letter.

They will have no mercy if you refuse to cooperate,

Or if you try to find us. Jonas, they're serious.

They killed everyone who was in our house.

They don't care about killing to get what they want.

- Is that her voice? - Yes.

They also told me to say that we are prisoners of the,

World Activist Revolutionary Army,

Which is dedicated to fighting the tyranny of the imperialist world.

In order for them to release us...

Yes?

Hello, Jonas.

Captain Nikolidis... Jim McCabe. And he has the right to hear this.

He's the father of my son.

- How are you? - Captain.

Sit down. There's more to hear.

They also told me to say that we are prisoners of the

World Activist Revolutionary Army,

Which is dedicated to fighting the tyranny of the imperialist world.

In order for them to release us, you will have to pay 5 million.

You only have 48 hours to pay. After that, we will be executed.

- Jonas... - Mr. Bracken,

Exactly at four in the afternoon, the day after tomorrow;

You will tune the radio to the frequency,

Indicated on the dial.

And say Yes or No.

That's all.

World Activist Revolutionary Army. What the hell is that?

A group of very well-organized assassins,

Who are only interested in creating chaos and anarchy.

You don't have to pay that money. We'll find them. I promise.

I'll prepare the money.

We want to catch them as much as you want to get your family back.

There have been murders here. We'll get the kidnappers.

- We'll get them, don't worry. - Yes, of course.

We'll get them, Mr. McCabe.

We're gonna get them.

Bastards!

Yes, bastards are dangerous.

They're always in the way.

But we have no other choice, right?

No, we don't.

I want the list of my properties. Everything will be put up for sale.

You don't have the amount, Mr. Bracken. Not even half.

Company options, stocks, bonds. I'll sell everything.

Get my phone book. I'll be in my office.

- Goodbye, beautiful palace. - Maybe not.

Besides, it's just a house. And she doesn't need it.

Stay here.

We have many empty rooms.

Mr. Castleman, please?

George, this is Jonas Bracken.

Yes, George, something terrible.

You've always been interested in my copper mines, right?

Do you think this would be an opportune moment?

- I'm okay, Mom. - Quiet. Let me clean you up.

Leave it, I'll do it myself.

- Mom? - What is it, honey?

- Are we still here? - Of course, don't you see?

But we'll be leaving soon. Dad will arrive.

He's going to get us out of here, right, Mom?

I'm sure of it.

Here, Jimmy. Try to eat.

Sorry, Mom. I can't eat this.

My children are going to catch a cold. I need something to cover them.

Aren't you listening to me? Bring blankets.

- Use your blouse. - They're children.

It's in their interest that they're well, right? Bring blankets.

We're not running a hotel here.

No. You were trained for destruction, violence, and death.

That's nonsense. They haven't eaten well since they got here.

This is the people's prison. They're treated like us.

The same food and the same conditions.

Then eat it all!

I hope we have to kill you, you spoiled bitch!

Stop!

Get out.

What's your problem?

I want blankets for my children.

You'll be free soon. You need to send another message first.

I won't do anything until you give us good food and better treatment.

For your children, you will send the message.

Because if you don't...

I'll kill you all!

Remember the May riots in Paris a few years ago?

When they started, I begged my friends not to use force.

I believed in peaceful demonstrations, in rational discussion.

We deserved what we asked for.

Sensible people couldn't deny us that.

I tried to convince my friends and the police,

To talk and negotiate.

This was the answer. The voice of a rifle butt.

But, you know what?

I was happy to hear that voice. I realized there is no,

Possible conversation between those who have and those who have nothing.

And against them, you have to use similar weapons.

Force against force. Death against death.

No compromises.

Bravo!

See if your applause is enough food for your children!

I must tell you that if you've already gotten the money,

They'll only accept it as a token of good faith.

But they want something more.

Tonight at eight, you'll be contacted by radio.

They've simply postponed our execution!

I can't get another penny.

I don't think they'll ask for that!

Gentlemen, rest assured. Everything is going very well.

Keep cooperating, Mr. Bracken.

When they make contact, don't let them stop talking.

They're not that prepared, you know?

This radio is similar to an army transmitter.

It has a range of 20 kms.

This is the World Revolutionary Activist Army,

Calling Jonas Bracken.

This is the World Revolutionary Activist Army,

Calling Jonas Bracken.

Answer, Mr. Bracken. Do you hear me, Mr. Bracken?

It's eight o'clock sharp. Do you hear? Answer.

This is Bracken. I want to speak to my wife.

She's not at this command post.

Mr. Bracken, for the safety of your family,

You must strictly follow the following instructions.

Slowly.

Slowly until it zeroes its wavelength.

There are many, but since I'm sure you and the police

are recording the message, there won't be any problems.

- Is she okay? - Yes, so far.

- Have faith, Mr. Bracken. Mutual faith. - They requested money, and it's ready.

You'll have to learn to accept my word. As I do yours.

We are a military force that fights against world imperialism.

The money you provide us

will serve to provide us with ammunition and weapons necessary for victory.

You have exactly one week to fulfill the order.

If you don't, your family will be executed.

Within a radius of six kilometers Northeast. Close.

Purchase the following.

Delivery instructions will be given as soon as you confirm

that you have gathered all the material.

I'm listening.

20 M-250 machine guns with 20,000 rounds of ammunition.

100 M-16 rifles and one automatic

with a million rounds caliber two.

150 sniper rifles with 150,000 rounds.

We are in sector six. Yes, sector six.

15 anti-aircraft guns, mounted and ready for use.

100 M-5 rifles and a million rounds.

It seems the special signal originates

in the northeast quadrant of sector 6.

I think we got him.

100 M-19 automatic pistols caliber 45...

Pay close attention to Dimitri.

500 anti-tank weapons...

Thirty light weapons. Half a million. 45 cartridges.

Turn right.

100 boxes of C3 plastic explosive. 500 warheads.

100 protective masks.

500 illumination flares.

100 flashlights.

300 boxes of C rations.

Nine Zero Five. Nine Zero Five.

I confirm point two. I confirm point two.

Do you know where the lights are? Light everything up.

Search all the material in your main cargo hold.

Awaiting further instructions.

Attention, attention! You are completely surrounded!

If you don't surrender in 30 seconds,

we will open fire.

Six of my men are dead. Eleven with severe burns.

Three of them in critical condition.

I won't bother you anymore, Captain.

He was my sister's only son. He was like my own son.

Yes, and I'm very sorry. But what about my son?

I will make sure they pay and are punished for all of this.

You still have to find them. How the hell are you going to do that?

We can always defeat terrorism.

The problem is deciding the price we are willing to pay

to save those who are in danger.

And we shouldn't be afraid to make that decision.

Yes.

No, Friday will be too late. We must receive him immediately.

Are you sure?

Well, then...?

What? No, it's not necessary.

I'll take care of it. So, on Wednesday.

Yes, yes. See you soon.

- I'll be back in an hour. - Jonas.

- Where are you going? - They're negatives.

I'm taking them to the police.

Are you?

Don't you think we should look at them first?

Yeah, why not?

They seem fine. Look, she still has the jewels.

What's behind them? A painting?

- What is that? - I don't know.

Make me two copies, okay?

- What for? - I'm going to find out where they are.

How?

You give me the copies, and I'll take care of the rest.

- Okay? - Agreed.

I read it in the papers, McCabe. I wondered how you'd react.

I always thought you weren't as indifferent as you pretended to be.

Come on, Fred, you only have half a day.

You know? You've aged 10 years in the two years since I've seen you.

And I think I'll get ten more before you figure anything out.

In return, Ellen looks younger.

How things change with a good marriage, huh?

It's a matter of class.

A woman like Ellen needs a gentleman, not a bum.

Have another drink. This is going to take a while.

Byzantine. Saints, warriors, swords.

Austere and expressive faces.

Well, let's see.

By the way, how does poor Mr. Bracken put up with all this?

He's fine. He's quite strong.

Small minds...

I see you've changed your mind about him.

What the hell does my opinion matter? She married him, not me.

It can only be the master of frescoes.

But you turned her in, right?

No, I didn't turn anyone in.

We agreed it was best for everyone, and that's it.

For you, yes. He had influence. Two years in prison instead of five.

Was that the only reason?

I say it was best for everyone, and let's leave it at that, okay?

Whatever you say.

Of course, I'm a true genius!

A Greek artist from the early 16th century named Theophanes the Cretan.

- Notice the red he uses. - It's fantastic, where is it?

In an abandoned monastery. There's only one way to get there.

Your terrorists chose well. The rocks are a natural defense.

There's no way to get to the monastery without being seen.

Ladies and Gentlemen, see and admire their evolutions.

WELCOME TO THE HANG GLIDING AIR CIRCUS

Oh, no... careful... Careful! He's in a hurry.

He landed! That was close!

Oh, no, he's in trouble up there!

He lost his support. Don't look down!

There he goes! There he goes! Water...

Ladies and gentlemen, this is what you call a good bath.

And now, to our left, our brave aerial bullfighter.

Very good. Bravo! Applause.

Double the entry... See that precision.

Very good!

Now let's take a look at the beautiful Cora.

She's poetry in motion. Agree?

Look, look. Now she presents herself with only one of her slippers.

Now with a garter. She's a delight.

And now what? The other part! The other part!

Could it be an aerial striptease?

Extraordinary Cora. What are you going to do now?

She's going to land. Here she is. The first and only... Cora.

Isn't she a beauty, a precious thing, and a marvel?

All that and more is Cora.

If you enjoyed the show, show your appreciation.

We accept all types of donations.

Come on, folks. Drachmas, drachmas. Come on, thank you. Thank you very much.

We need much more for our sustenance.

Observe the harmonious movements of the couple,

defying all the laws of gravity.

Thank you, thank you very much.

Hey, that looks like a lot of fun. How long does it take to learn to fly?

That depends on you.

Behold the fabulous balance of our inimitable couple.

200 dollars.

Talk to Ben. He'll help you.

- Who's Ben? - He's the next one coming down.

Right. Ladies and Gentlemen, applause for Ben and Della.

Aren't they phenomenal?

- Shall we go see Ben? - Yes.

There's a guy there who wants to learn to fly.

- My name is McCabe. - How do you do? Ben Miller.

I don't have time to give lessons, sorry.

Ben, I don't understand. He wants to give us 200 dollars.

- Have you ever tried it? - No, but I'd really like to.

- He says he's a pilot. - Yes.

- It's not as easy as you think. - Give it a shot, honey.

Will that hold two people?

Sure. Let's have some beers. Sit and talk.

- My wife, Della. - I'm Martin.

Here's a man who wants a beer.

- Hi, I'm Cora. - Hello, Cora. Thanks.

- Joe. - Ah, the bill collector.

If you don't like it, we'll give you your money back.

Grab the bar and keep the ropes in your hands.

- Right? - Yes. Now what happens?

We run like hell!

Well done!

- How's it going? - This is great, Ben.

To control it, move your body in the direction you want to go.

And to go down, lean forward.

Let me try. I want to turn right.

That's it. To the right.

What we need is a good mattress. I'm gonna fail.

Come on, move. Move. Don't push out. Right.

Now all your weight back. That... The weight, the weight!

Up, up!

Come on, you were supposed to come back here.

Get out of there! Alright, start running.

Run. You have to run a lot. Push forward.

Up! Use your feet. That's it. Now, push.

Go ahead, go ahead. All your weight in the center.

That's it. Up. Up!

A good run. Put your hands in the center.

You have better control. Put it on the bar. On the bar.

Pull forward. That makes you turn.

Right. Hands down. Let's go!

Alright, push back. Up. Up!

Run, run. Come on, run!

Come, Mr. Bracken.

- Come. - Give it to me, please.

- Are you listening to me? - Yes, this is Bracken.

The deadline is approaching. What progress have you made?

I have almost everything you asked for.

- Almost everything? - These things take time.

You saw from the photos that your family is doing well and unharmed.

I assume you want it to stay that way.

- Naturally. - Then hurry up.

And be careful, don't try to look for us.

Hand it over.

- Captain, the reason that... - The photos... Now, please.

- Give him the envelope. - Yes.

Take it to the lab. Now.

- The others. - There are no others.

I don't believe it. Who did you give them to? McCabe?

What do you think he can do?

Do you believe they are safer in their hands than in mine?

Mr. Bracken...

Mr. Bracken, come to the station with me.

Consider yourself under arrest.

Well, that's the deal. 100 grand for the job.

- That's 16 grand each. - It has to be unanimous.

We've been together too long to split up now.

If we go with him, we'll be taking real risks.

- There won't be any circus tricks. - But look at these faces!

If we do it carefully and well, I think we can get in there.

But the worst part isn't getting in, it's getting out!

These terrorists must have some weakness, right?

- What do you think? - I say we go.

- Martin? - Yes.

Well, if I were up there, I wouldn't mind some help.

- Hers? - You know I'm with you.

- Democracy in action. - That's how I like it.

What would you do if we said no?

Captain, here's the report you asked for.

Rosalu. Only five hours from here.

- Tomorrow we're going after them. - When they release my family.

After that, do whatever you want.

You'll never see your family alive if you hand over all these weapons.

When they release my family.

Mr. Bracken, please. Don't underestimate the level of insanity of these people.

What I don't underestimate is what will happen if they find out...

- About a rescue attempt. - They won't find out.

Captain Nikolidis, Mr. McCabe left the hotel two days ago.

They said he left with other Americans.

Let's go. We won't wait until tomorrow.

Come with me, Mr. Bracken. Help us free your family.

Captain, please. Can't I convince you to wait?

I'm afraid you can't. Are you coming with me?

Yes.

From here, we can't go any further.

To fly over the monastery, we must find a higher location.

Over there, in that area.

That place might work.

- Can we climb up? - Yes.

It's easy for Joe.

On the way down, we'll use those rocky teeth.

Yes, they'll protect us on the way out.

I wonder what will protect us on the way in.

The silence, the surprise, the darkness.

The darkness?

We'll have a full moon three nights this week. Are you scared?

Well, if there's no wind, we'll try.

We'll only know when we get there. Are you scared?

I won't know until I get there.

No, not that. But that's a good try, Jimmy.

It's your turn. Something that starts with 'H'.

- Helicopter? - No, it was 'Holland'.

But you did very well, Susie.

With this damn wind, we won't be able to fly tonight.

Tonight or never. Wind or no wind, I have to go.

Go to sleep. I'll stand guard.

Relax, it's me.

- Is everything alright there? - Yes.

Rudy, get ready to fly.

- Ready? - Yes.

Listen, no talking on the radio. Two taps when you're underneath.

Three taps, signal to jump.

If you haven't received any signal from me in 15 minutes, pack up and leave.

Get out of my way.

Well?

If I make it, you'll hear the tap.

Landed. All good.

Go ahead.

See you later, darling.

Don't worry about me.

Last one there buys the beer.

Take the wing to the top of the monastery. I'll see you there.

- Good luck. - Same to you. And be careful.

- McCabe? - Did everyone arrive safely?

Yes, we're all here.

- Do you know what to do? - Yes, we're ready.

Let's go, let's go. Let's move out!

Carefully.

Let's go. Hey, Rudy!

Stay here.

- Is that coffee coming or not? - Wait a bit. Don't be impatient.

How about you make the coffee for a change and I listen to the radio?

Hey! What's going on there?

Are you okay?

You're too busy whistling.

This way, come on.

- Where's the key? - There, on the window.

Jim, what a joy.

This looks like our first house, doesn't it?

It's better.

Hello, your father is worried about you. How are you?

I'm fine. Are you with the police?

- No. But they'll be here too. - Dad's coming with them, right?

- I knew he'd get us out of here. - Yes, he'll be here soon.

Take your sister and join the two men outside.

- Go, Jimmy. - Did you come to save us?

Yes. Now go.

Get the grenades.

Jim... Jim!

I'm happy to see you.

Let's go.

- How are we getting out of here? - By flying.

- I don't hear any plane. - We don't have a plane.

Hurry.

The prisoners escaped! The hostages got away!

- Oh, God! - Lots of shots. Quick!

Give me that. Get the helicopter up here.

Get her out of here!

Let's go, let's go! Don't let them escape.

Go that way.

Follow me!

Look for the mother and the children.

After them! Upwards!

Come on, keep going up. We can make it.

- Take her and keep going! - Upwards!

Freeze. Nobody move! Back!

Now!

Go ahead, Dela, keep going. Climb!

Martin, give me a hand. Come on, quickly!

- Here we are. - Come on, Joe. Help us.

Let's go!

- Prepare for takeoff! - Carefully.

After them!

- Come on, Rudy, come on! - Now!

I'm scared.

- Mrs. Bracken, run with him! - Don't be afraid. He'll fly like Peter Pan.

Quick! Hurry!

Trust us. Everything will be alright.

Fly!

- Now you! - You must leave!

- What about you? - I'll walk back.

We have a problem.

Pull the bar! Pull!

I can't hear anything! Where's our helicopter?

It's on its way. We're going to fly over the monastery.

Get closer.

There are two of them. Let's go.

Go ahead. Get them.

I said get them.

The device. Transmission problems. We need to land.

We have to get out of this.

I think we made it.

Now, run!

Mommy, that was fun. I want to do it again.

Damn it! Stop!

It's over! It's over!

Oh, my God!

Daddy! Daddy!

Daddy!

- Daddy! - Daddy!

Daddy!

Well, looks like it's all over.

Lean on me.

Congratulations, McCabe. You got very lucky.

Lucky, huh?

Yeah, you have no idea how lucky I got.

This way of flying is impressive.

They must be crazy.

Yeah, they must be crazy!

Captain, one of the boys fell among the mountains.

- Did the others arrive safely? - I'll find out.

You always get me into trouble, baby!

Jimmy, who is that man?

Careful, it's loaded.

- That's right. - Let's go.

- I'll get Jimmy. - Wait...

I think one father is enough for a boy that age.

In any case, maybe...

Maybe later.

Yes.

Later.

- See you later. - Yes.

Everyone landed without incident.

Watch out!

Good.

- I have a gift for you. - Cool!

Five stars. I can get a lot.

Of course, you have to buy a box.
