Captain Phillips Page #5

Till we get our guy back.

No, no, no. You'll get your guy back.

No way!

Hey! Hey!

MAN:
Get in!

[GUNFIRE THEN ALL SHOUTING]

Listen! Hey!

You come, or I kill everybody!

I don't care!

It's your choice!

All right! All right!

You go! You go! You're going!

PHILLIPS:
Chief, bring the guy up now.

It's gonna be okay. Bring him up.

Shane, you got the crew.

Don't go, Cap. Don't get in there.

We gotta get them off the ship.

SHANE:
Not like this.

Cap, you can't do this.

Goddamn it, Cap!

All right, who's driving this thing?

[SHOUTING IN SOMALI]

NAJEE [IN SOMALI]:

Watch him.

Bilal, hold the gun on him.

PHILLIPS:

Now, look, it's very simple to operate.

On, off, start, stop.

Compass to follow your heading.

You see your throttle there.

You got a squawk box.

Gas, gas. Enough gas?

Plenty of fuel to get you to Somalia.

SHANE [OVER RADIO]:

Cap, we got the guy.

All right. Send him on in.

I'm coming out.

Okay, send him in. Let him go.

[SHOUTING IN SOMALI]

Go. Send the captain out.

All right, now, that handle, see?

You're gonna move that up and down.

You gotta pump it, one, two,

three, four, five, and then you drop.

SHANE:

Cap, come on out.

Cap? Cap, what's going on in there?

Just however many times it takes,

pump it, then you're in the water,

and off you go.

Go!

Go back!

[GUNFIRE]

SHANE:

Hey, Cap!

[PIRATES SHOUTING IN SOMALI]

CRONAN:

Goddamn it! No!

Cap!

No!

NAJEE:

Sit! Sit!

Here!

Go.

Irish, it's only us now.

Copy.

[CHATTERING]

Captain's in Combat.

MAN 3:
Captain's in Combat.

CTF 151,

this is Bainbridge Charlie-Oscar. Over.

HOWARD:

Captain, this is Admiral Howard.

A U.S. -flagged cargo ship,

the Maersk Alabama,

has been hijacked 820 nautical miles

west of your current position.

Four men have taken the ship's captain

hostage in a lifeboat.

Presumed Somali pirates. Over.

Roger, ma'am. Do we

have any other information? Over.

Not at this time, but best guess

is they're heading for the Somali coast.

Your orders are to proceed

and intercept.

Further to follow. This is CTF 151 out.

Ops, prep ScanEagle.

Need aerial surveillance.

Aye, sir.

CCS, this is the captain.

Come to full power.

TAO, get position.

MAN 4:
TAO, aye.

Bridge, captain, full left rudder.

Come to course 285.

Hufan, do you read me?

[STATIC CRACKLING OVER RADIO]

Hufan, can you hear me?

[IN SOMALI] Where's your boss?

He should be with us by now.

Don't worry. He's coming.

[HISSES]

Stupid hand.

[BILAL GROANING]

Stop whining.

You sound like a little girl.

You wanted to come with us.

You asked for this.

BILAL:

I didn't think this would happen.

I could lose my foot.

MUSE:

You have to be ready for anything.

This game isn't for the weak.

Yeah.

Your face looks scared.

But everything gonna be okay.

I'm not gonna hurt you.

In two days we'll be eating

in Somalia.

Rice. Goat meat. You'll like.

My boss talk to ship company.

Insurance man come, bag of dollars,

you go home.

[HORN BLARING]

ELMI [IN SOMALI]:

What is it?

MUSE [IN SOMALI]:

It's a gift.

[]

[SPEAKS IN SOMALI]

Your ship no broke.

They come Somalia too.

More money.

[]

[BEEPING]

Looks like they're heading north

to the closest point of land.

MIKE:
And that's only gonna

take them 36 hours at the most?

SHANE:
Just gotta stay with

them till the Navy gets here.

NAJEE:

Give me some khat.

ELMI:

Why? You've had more than your share.

NAJEE:

Says who? Give me some more!

MUSE [IN SOMALI]:

Shut up!

Both of you, shut up.

ELMI:

Just take it.

This is it?

That's all I have.

Where is the rest?

BILAL:
I don't have any.

It's all gone.

NAJEE:
You are useless.

I should have taken it from you.

This money, taking you, that's all it is.

You come to our waters,

you got to pay.

We were in international waters.

Not your waters, international waters.

We were carrying food

for starving people in Africa.

Even Somalis.

Yeah, sure. Rich countries

like to help Somalis.

Big ships come to our water,

take all the fish out.

What's left for us to fish?

So you're fishermen?

Yeah, we're all fishermen.

[GRUNTS THEN GROANS]

Hey, let me clean out that cut.

Let me get the first-aid kit, clean that out.

It's gonna get infected.

No.

How about the kid?

Can I look at his foot?

No.

[IN SOMALI]

They'll fix him when we get back.

Come on, he's barefoot.

You three got sandals.

He's got bare feet.

Go ahead, go.

All right.

Just gonna get the kit.

Go ahead, come here. It's all right.

Your foot. Give me your foot.

Come on.

Let me see it. It's all right.

[GROANING]

How old are you, anyway?

What are you, 16, 17?

[GRUNTS]

You're too young to be out here

doing this.

No talking.

Hey! Hey!

[IN SOMALI] He's got a knife!

Hey! What you gonna do with this?

[IN SOMALI]

Go back. Get back there.

[BILAL GROANING]

CASTELLANO:
UAV ScanEagle shows

the lifeboat is currently

126 nautical miles

off the Somali coast,

moving on course 305

at five knots,

with the mothership dead in the water

at 60 miles to the northeast.

We have any idea

who these guys are?

SEAL COMMANDER:
The mothership is a Taiwanese

fishing trawler that was hijacked last year.

According to ONI, that vessel's under

the control of Somali warlord Garaad.

We're working on getting the IDs

of the kidnappers.

If this is Garaad's guys, they're looking

for a payday, which means they'll talk.

If we can get them talking,

we can wear them down. Over.

HOWARD:
Frank, this thing is running big

here, and there's a lot of pressure building.

The White House hopes

this can be resolved peacefully

but whatever happens,

Captain Phillips does not reach Somalia.

I understand, admiral,

but we're gonna need some time.

I think if we press too hard,

we put the hostage at risk.

We're gonna need to use

some tactical patience. Over.

HOWARD:
Do your best to talk them down,

Frank, but you're on the clock.

We're deploying a SEAL team with USS

Boxer and USS Halyburton as support.

If you haven't gotten Phillips back

by the time they arrive,

the SEALs will take care of it.

I understand all, admiral.

[BOAT CREAKING]

[SIGHS]

Can I have some water, please?

Water?

[GROANS]

Drive this thing right!

Calm down. We're on the ocean.

I should throw you off this boat

right now!

ELMI:

You need to sit down and relax.

Hey, water.

[NAJEE & ELMI ARGUING IN SOMALI]

Hey. Hey.

[IN SOMALI] That's enough.

Take it away.

From now on

this water is only for us.

MUSE [IN SOMALI]:

Stop being such an a**hole.

ELMI:

You've got to control him.

MUSE:

Just drive and shut up.

[SPEAKING IN SOMALI]

Hufan, can you hear me?

[STATIC CRACKLING OVER RADIO]

PHILLIPS:

Are you having trouble?

No trouble, Irish. Slow piece of sh*t.

Yeah, yeah. Shallow-draft.

And you're fighting the current.

Gotta take that into account.

I know what I'm doing.

Yeah, yeah, sure, you do. Of course.

You're the captain now.

Oh, hey, captain,
