Captain Phillips Page #7

MAN [OVER RADIO]:

TAO, lifeboat is under way.

TAO, aye.

Captain, sir, the lifeboat's 12 hours

from the Somali coast.

Boxer and Halyburton have arrived.

ETA on the SEAL team is 0400.

[]

MUSE:

Irish, no worry.

Everything gonna be okay.

After this, I go America.

I always wanted to go America.

Go to New York, buy a car...

[COUGHING]

[NAJEE SPEAKING IN SOMALI]

[IN SOMALI]

Hey, this situation has gotten bad.

There are two more ships,

one on either side.

ELMI:

That one is huge.

[CHATTERING IN SOMALI]

PHILLIPS:

Oh, God.

Sit down! Sit down!

[IN SOMALI]

Bilal, get the ropes.

Hey, captain, it's all over.

It's all over, captain.

The other ropes.

There's a reason your boss took off

and isn't coming back.

He didn't wanna take on the Navy.

He's gone. He's left you alone.

You had a plan to take my ship. That didn't

work, so you thought you could take me?

PHILLIPS:
Make a run to Somalia?

They got the Navy out there.

You gotta give up. You gotta stop.

I can't stop, Irish.

The Navy is not gonna let you win.

They can't let you win.

They would rather sink this boat

than let you get me back to Somalia.

It's over.

I come too far, Irish.

I can't give up. No.

[PHONE RINGING]

Hello?

MAN:
The SEALs are inbound,

deploying three miles off our stern.

Roger that.

[GRUNTING]

I need to piss.

Fast.

Saltwater would be good for your foot.

[YELLS]

MUSE [IN SOMALI]:

He got out!

Turn the boat around!

Bilal, you idiot!

[PIRATES SHOUTING IN SOMALI]

[]

MUSE:

Turn it! Faster, faster!

Move, or we'll leave you!

MAN 1:

Captain's in Combat.

MAN 2:
Cap. We got two in the water.

Two in the water.

WOMAN:

Starboard side, I see them both.

Two guys in the water.

CASTELLANO:
Is one of them Phillips?

MAN 3:
We don't know. We can't tell.

MAN 4:

They're in the water. In the water.

One may be Phillips

and probably one pirate. We don't know.

CASTELLANO:

We've gotta be sure.

Let's get a flare in the air.

Find him. Don't kill him.

[MUSE SHOUTING IN SOMALI]

MUSE:

Don't shoot!

I'll shoot you!

Stop! What are you doing?

NAJEE [IN SOMALI]:

He's getting away!

Don't kill him!

Better to kill him than let him escape!

[GASPS]

MUSE:

There he is!

I'm ordering you. Don't kill him.

MAN 1 [OVER RADIO]: Bainbridge,

this is RHIB 3. We have SEALs inbound.

Flare's up, captain.

Target angle 020 on the lifeboat right now.

CASTELLANO:

Can't tell who's in the water.

No clear shot at the Tangos.

Nobody shoots

unless there's a clear shot.

MUSE:

Where is he?

[GASPS]

Here he is! Here he is!

[MUFFLED SHOUTING IN SOMALI]

[PIRATES SHOUTING IN SOMALI]

MUSE:

He's here!

MAN:
One more in the water.

We've got one more in the water.

PHILLIPS:

Help!

Help!

[GUNFIRE]

[SHOUTING IN SOMALI]

PHILLIPS:

All right!

PHILLIPS:
All right!

Come! Forward!

PHILLIPS:
All right!

Got him.

NAJEE:

Come!

PHILLIPS:

Okay, okay.

Go in, Irish! Go! Go, Irish!

MAN 1:

Sir, the SEALs are coming aboard.

MAN 2 [OVER RADIO]:

Prepare to board the SEALs.

[PIRATES SHOUTING IN SOMALI]

Where are you go? Tell me! Tell me!

Are you crazy?

Where's the captain?

Waiting for you on the bridge, sir.

[NAJEE SHOUTING IN SOMALI

AND PHILLIPS GRUNTING]

NAJEE:

Not today!

Stop him!

[IN SOMALI] That's enough!

MUSE:

Don't kill him!

If you kill him, we'll all die!

What do you want me to do with him?

What is he doing?

[ARGUING IN SOMALI]

[AIRCRAFT WHIRRING]

[]

Bainbridge to lifeboat,

you must surrender.

[OVER RADIO]

You will not be permitted to go further.

It's a helicopter!

MUSE:

Get to the other side!

[PIRATES SHOUTING IN SOMALI]

CASTELLANO:

Alabama lifeboat, respond.

Hurry! Go!

I'm trying.

Go!

CASTELLANO:
You have a choice to make, captain.

Surrender now and this ends peacefully.

Beyond that, I cannot help you.

You must surrender.

[IN SOMALI]

They think you are playing games.

Do something!

You cannot win this.

CASTELLANO:

Make the right decision here.

You are running out of time.

Do you understand me?

Do you want to go

to an American prison?

CASTELLANO:

This is your last chance.

Is that what you want?

I know how to handle America.

Give me the pistol.

They think I'm playing games, huh?

[SPEAKING IN SOMALI]

Go!

Go!

Up ladder.

Make a hole.

MAN:
Target in the hatch.

This is Bainbridge out.

They're holding a gun

to Phillips' head.

He's kind of yelling

and waving his pistol back and forth.

I kill him! I kill him! Now! I kill him!

MAN 1:

We got shots fired, captain.

MAN 2:
How many shots?

MAN 1:
Who fired? Who fired?

We're losing this.

Now what?

NAJEE:

They have no respect for us.

We have to play games?

[IN SOMALI] Give me the radio.

NAJEE:

The helicopter is coming back.

America, I kill hostage now!

I kill hostage now!

I'm gonna put him in a body bag!

[SHOUTS IN SOMALI]

Talk. Talk.

They got a gun to my throat, and they're

gonna use a survival suit as a body bag.

You're not just a fisherman.

You're not just a fisherman.

SEAL COMMANDER [OVER RADIO]: Men of the Alabama

lifeboat, I'm here to talk about your money.

Repeat,

I'm here to discuss your money.

Who is this?

I'm the negotiator.

I'm authorized to negotiate with you.

Insurance man?

Now, you are Abduwali Muse, right?

From Jariban, Puntland?

From the clans of the Hawiye

and the Daarood?

Your friends are Adan Bilal

Walid Elmi and Nour Najee.

But you are Muse. You're in command.

Is that correct?

[]

They know us.

We spoke with the elders of your tribe.

They are coming here to negotiate

a deal, an exchange.

We get our man, you get your money.

But this has to be done in confidence.

We don't want anyone to see

the exchange. Neither do the elders.

It's a lie.

SEAL COMMANDER:
You're low on fuel.

We got some weather coming in,

so I'm suggesting that we tow you out

to the exchange point.

But we need someone to come aboard

and negotiate the deal.

It's an ambush.

SEAL COMMANDER:

Captain.

Okay.

It's an ambush.

[INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER]

MAN 1:

Keep me posted on status.

MAN 2:
Roger.

Comms test radio check.

OSS, TAO, I need eyes on the RHIB.

I need eyes on the RHIB.

Captain's in Combat.

CASTELLANO:

Tactical command is now with the SEAL team.

SEAL COMMANDER:

TAO, where we at?

MAN:

RHIBs are headed inbound to the lifeboat.

Halyburton and Boxer are standing by

for your orders.

ASTAC, TAO,

I need a status at Halyburton's helo.

[AIRCRAFT WHIRRING]

MUSE [IN SOMALI]:

You need to be strong.

Don't let anyone in.

Whatever happens, don't stop.

ELMI:

It's my job.

Everything good, Irish.

Everything gonna be okay.

I go Navy ship,

get dollars,

you go home.

It was supposed to be easy.

I take ship...

ransom...

nobody get hurt.

You had $30,000

and a way to Somalia.

It wasn't enough?

I got bosses.

They got rules.

We all got bosses.

There's gotta be something

other than being a fisherman

and kidnapping people.

Maybe in America, Irish.

Maybe in America.
