Breaking News

Thanks a lot.

-What are you doing? -The cable's broken.

-Hurry up! -OK.

-Where do we shoot? -In the factory.

-Where in the factory? -You heard! Hurry up!

I don't think we should go in. They're putting it out.

Come on, Paraschiv!

Let's see...

There's no police cordon.

If it takes longer than 3 minutes, Preda might fire us.

Stop stressing me, Preda! Let me do my job!

Two more minutes. We're inside already.

Is he even watching?

Preda, are you watching? Still think outside looked better?

Let's go, over here!

Don't block the exit!

Are you kidding? You're waiting for us?

Where do we shoot?

You want me to dictate Raluca's intro?

Let's go there!

Write: "Breaking news from inside the factory."

Preda! Speak one at a time!

Can we have a bit of quiet, please?

Thank you!

Start from the boiler and pan back towards me, alright?

Ten seconds.

-Are the firemen in the frame? -Yes.

Five, four, three...

Hello, Raluca! We're inside the ELCET factory,

where rescue operations are underway as we speak.

According to paramedics, 27 people have been evacuated

from the factory so far.

When the explosion occurred,

32 people were inside the main factory building.

At least five people are still buried under the rubble.

Yes, it seems the explosion was caused

by mishandling the steam boiler.

In about 15 minutes, we go live with the fire chief...

The ceiling collapsed.

All units go to C sector! Hurry up!

-Negoita! -Where the fuck is Negoita?

Negoita, check the boiler!

-There's people upstairs. -Were they from the press?

Hurry upstairs!

...an error in handling the boiler.

In about 15 minutes, we go live with the fire chief...

We do as I told you.

There's no police cordon.

All this time, no one stopped you?

-The fire service didn't kick you out? -No.

Pause it.

No, play it again.

Yes, I can hear you. Give me three more minutes.

Like I told you...

So there was no police cordon?

-You're positive? -No, there wasn't.

Stop it.

Are you OK?

-Want a break? -No, we can go on.

Bring him a glass of water, please.

What do you think?

Who decided to go inside?

Does it matter?

-We'll see. -Andrei.

-The producers didn't ask you to go in? -No.

OK.

Things are fairly clear.

The area wasn't cordoned off, inside or out.

The paramedics could have warned you once you were inside

but they didn't.

There's no risk of legal action. You're fine.

I mean... God rest his soul.

-Hi. -Hi.

-Need any help? -No, thank you.

-Hi! Are you OK? -Yeah.

We need to issue a statement. I've emailed it you.

Please green-light it after the meeting, alright?

-How are you feeling? -Fine.

Please read the draft of the press release, it needs to go out in an hour.

Mazilu, we need to leave for Mangalia tomorrow.

What?

To start Paraschiv's memorial piece.

-Wasn't Voicu doing that? -We've reconsidered.

Why?

The family won't deal with NTV.

It's understandable. But we still need them to talk to us.

Why will they talk to me, but not Voicu?

Is that a rhetorical question?

You were there, they saw you live. It's different.

They might talk to you.

-This is absurd. -Yeah?

You're always answering back! Maybe we should...

-Preda, why don't you shut up?! -Really?

Yeah, really. Mind your own business!

Guys, please...

Alex, I know it's hard. Let's do this for Paraschiv.

Two or three minutes. Interviews, photos, anything.

It's just three days, Mazilu.

I'll be there, too, we'll manage.

We don't know much about him.

He used to commute from Mangalia to Bucharest,

he was a widower...

Here's his file and CV.

That's all we know.

...why do I need to see inside that factory?

Should we see people brought out on stretchers?

Instead of showing things, we should try to understand them.

-How often should you take them? -Every 12 hours.

I'll get them tomorrow morning. Sweetheart, give me that.

-You went to the bookshop? -Yes.

-When? -After the meeting.

-Let me help. -It's OK. Go open the door.

-It's ugly. -This?

-You said you liked it. -No, I don't.

You preferred the reindeer?

Yes, it was nicer.

And the tree's poem is even longer, three verses.

-And the Reindeer's wasn't? -No, it wasn't.

Daddy, what happened to your hand?

-I hurt myself. -How?

-I fell. -How?

Come on, it's not that bad.

It's got lovely branches.

Go hold the door for me.

-Did I wake you? -No.

He only ever lived in Mangalia?

Seems like it.

I was thinking of going after all.

Is it bad if I miss Vlad's play?

I'll explain it to him.

The Prosecutor's Office began investigating the ELCET explosion.

Yesterday, around 3 pm, the factory was shaken by a powerful blast,

apparently caused by human error in handling the steam boiler.

...at Radio Funky.

This year, Radio Funky Romania has signed a pact with Santa Claus.

We bring hits, he brings presents!

Will you cut it out? It's almost fucking Christmas!

-Come on in! -No, I'm waiting for someone.

Marcel!

Where have you been?

Where's Zoe? OK, OK...

I think he's right.

He's not so sure Santa doesn't exist.

The tree was a different story. If it's been cut down, it's dead.

-If it's dead, why is it in the play? -He's right!

You're not helping!

-What are you doing? -Driving.

-And... -And that's all.

You're even less talkative than your son.

Sorry.

Alright.

Oh, listen...

Send me a picture of the beach, I want to show it.

-To Vlad? -Yes.

He doesn't believe you're at the seaside.

What do you mean?

Because it closes during winter.

Can you hear me?

Say something if you can hear me!

Can you hear me? Tell me!

Can you hear me? What's your name?

-Simona. -Simona who? Simona who?

Paraschiv.

Paraschiv.

Come on, count to ten.

One...

-Two... One, two... -To ten!

-Simona, count to ten! -Wednesday... Wednesday...

Let's go outside.

Have you been drinking vodka?

-You drank a whole bottle of vodka? -Fanta.

-What else did you drink? -Wednesday...

Easy does it.

Where do you live? In Mangalia?

Tell me.

On Banatului Street?

At the shop...

What shop?

-Did you go to buy liquor? -Seven times.

Seven times what?

Fifteen.

What grade are you in?

-Grosu's an idiot. -Who's Grosu?

-Tell me... -I'm cold!

That's OK, tell me who Grosu is.

-I want to go home. -OK, let's go.

-I want to go home. -Alright.

Why did you go in?

-Why did you go in? Tell me! -Let's go!

-Simona, let's go! -No, no, no!

-Tell me! Why did you go in there? -We were doing our job.

-Why? -Come on.

Marcel, out of the way!

I told you I can do it.

Fucking keys!

Simona!

I'm Andrei's colleague. Alex Mazilu.

I know, I saw you on...

Sorry to bother you, I brought Simona back.

-My condolences. -Thank you.
