A Hijacking
A HIJACKING:
-Hello?
-Hello beautiful. It's me.
Hello darling!
Are you in Mumbai?
No, we get to Mumbai in a few days.
-I miss you.
-And I miss you too.
-How are things?
-Things are good, but listen
You can't get mad okay?
What is it?
I'm coming home the 17th
instead of the 15th.
-You're not serious?
-Yes.
I've got to stay in Mumbai and
show the new cook around the kitchen.
This is absolutely not alright.
We had a deal.
Yes, but your man loves you
above everything else-
-because you're the most beautiful
and fantastic and understanding wife
That's why he loves you so much.
Yeah, honey...!
You don't want to talk to me anymore?
Can I just talk to her,
because the captain just came,
-Okay. Take care honey.
-Yes, bye.
Hello.
Kamilla?
It's your dad talking.
-She's coming now.
-Thanks.
-Hello.
-Hello, little princess, can you hear me?
-Hello dad.
-It's dad.
-Darling you must talk...
-Hello dad, when are you coming home?
-What are you doing here?
-Reading the watermeters.
-What?
-We're going to stock up water in Mumbai.
Easy, you don't have to shout.
-You like to have water with your coffee right?
-Yes, that would be nice.
-Getting some use out of you.
-Do you have a break now?
Yes.
-Mikkel!
-Yes?
-Can you do me a favor?
-Sure.
Take this for me. It's a letter for my
sister and a present for my nephew.
-That would be great.
-I thought she lived in Greve.
-That is in Greve, you goof.
-Solrod Beach?
You've been at sea too long.
-And the package, it's important.
-I'll take good care of it.
-Are you about ready?
-Yeah, damnit.
-I can't wait.
-I can relate.
Nice to get home to the girl.
To the Wife.
Yes, it's Peter.
Yeah and what do they say?
If they are going to use our ships
they have to accept our offer.
Yes but you've got to take care of this now.
That's fine.
-that there will be an export
of 12 million megatons.
Then there is sad trouble
on the Japanese market.
The tsumani has completely
devastated their industry.
We must make sure to be there
I've got to hear, Peter...
We've got a high priority on Japan right?
Very much so.
We're negotiating with the Japanese.
Will the contract be signed tonight?
We'll land a deal tonight.
We'll reach our goal of 10 percent.
-Hello, Jytte.
-Hi. Good meeting?
-Very good?
-Lars Vestergaard is waiting for you.
-Vestergaard?
-He said it was important.
-Are you not supposed to be with the Japanese?
-Yeah,
I've just taken a little break
-On how far have we gotten,
Here you go.
I know the proposal.
What's the problem?
I just want to make sure that we
agree before I bang the table.
We've agreed from the start. We've been
at 21 and we want to be under 15.
How far have we gotten?
We're down to 19 now.
You're down to 19?
Okay. 2 million.
-That's right.
-We can probably get them down...
-Wait.
the rest of the day. Thanks.
Thanks.
-Hi Peter.
-Hi Niels.
-So what did we end up at?
-14,5.
That's very well done.
- Hello Lars. Congratulations.
Can you take a break somewhere else?
I have an interview with Borsen-
-and I need to put on a clean shirt.
-Thanks a lot.
-See you later.
-Lars, can you wait a little.
-Sure. - See you up there.
Lars, when you need my help,
which you apparently did here,
-get me right away. Understood?
-Yes, and thanks.
-Thank you.
Can we find a date?
We need 7-8 days for the interview.
I'll do it when I can-
-but we must be joined by
my secretary Jytte.
She has complete oversight.
I'm sorry to disturb.
Peter, do you a moment?
Yeah, excuse me.
-I think that's enough for today.
-Okay.
MV Rozen has set of the alarm.
We're worried she's been hijacked.
They've slowed down their speed.
And now they are not replying to us.
-So we have no contact.
-We've got nothing.
Then it stops.
-When did the first alarm sound?
-About 1 hour and 35 minutes ago.
Where are we?
Where exactly is the ship?
We were on our way to Mumbai.
-Then she makes a big turn,
-That's really far out.
Indian coast is over there.
There has never been a hijacking
this far out before
-Who's on board?
-I'll found out as soon as possible.
We need to get a hold on someone who
knows how to handle this. Right away.
Yes - can you help me?
- I'll be back in 5 minutes.
Can you call my wife and tell her
I probably will not be home tonight?
Can I hear that again?
Hi dear,
I see that you have called.
Yes, we are about to talk
to the relatives now.
I'm glad to hear it, thanks.
Pirates today also have internet,
and they also read danish news.
And we have to remember that.
If they read that we will do anything
to get our men home-
-it'll just prolong things.
I hope you understand that.
My name is Kaj Sorensen.
This is my wife Lisbeth.
We are Jans parents. Why don't you
just give in to the pirates demands?
We still haven't heard from the pirates.
So we don't even know
what they are demanding.
But you should know that we will do
whatever it takes to get our crew home,
-as fast as possible.
That's why we have brought in
help from the outside-
-to guide us in the negotiations.
This is Connor Julian.
Connor has a lot of experience.
He's a specialist in these
kinds of situations.
Yes, please go ahead.
My name is Maria Hartmann.
And this is my daughter Kamilla.
I'm married to Mikkel Hartmann
who's the cook on the ship.
You said earlier that you haven't
had any contact with the pirates,
How do you then know that they are okay?
How do you know they are not already dead?
Yes thanks. - Excuse me. - Maria...
Honestly we don't know.
But that would really surprise us.
The ship down there, Rozen,
has no value to us.
The only thing the pirates have to
negotiate for is our crew.
Mikkel.
Your sons, and your brothers.
That's the only the only thing
they have to negotiate for.
So personally, Maria,
I believe they are all alive.
Okay, thanks.
Thank you.
-Hi, Mikkel.
How are you?
We have it okay.
The crew is healthy, but the
captain used to have an ulcer,
About five years ago.
He had surgery-
-and was on medication for a couple
of years but was deemed healthy.
-So he could be sick?
-Yeah.
F***! Sorry.
We have to pee in this corner.
It stinks like hell.
The captain has sh*t on everything.
It's so damn gross.
Ah for fucks sake.
We've got to get out and use
the toilets out there.
We can't stay in here with this
stink all the time.
-Did you ask about the toilet?
-Yeah.
-We're getting sick, tell them.
-I'll tell them.
-We're not worthless to them if...
-Can't you shut up?!
We've got to get out of here.
Let's meet back up here in 10 minutes.
The problem with flying from Tanzania
is the distance to the ship.
We risk the pilot turning
before
