Don't call me Frank!

Kips Bay,

that's in New York.

The kid

in the network story.

That's what the expensive

lawyer is for, isn't it?

Is that

what this is all about?

America does not negotiate

with terrorists or pirates.

I couldn't take someone hostage

and demand his release.

I need to have him

acquitted by law.

What do you care?

It's just like the kid

in the back.When I asked you earlier

why you were so protective

of that kid,

I thought to myself secretly,

he must be his little brother

or something?

The kid back there isn't

your little brother...

Mateo Wal-i-Musi is, right?

You wanted an interview,

you got an interview!

Answer

the f***ing question!

Yes.

My brother Mateo is on trial

in New York City,

but in the jury's mind

he is already guilty

because your network's piece

made him the poster boy

for piracy in America.

So this is revenge

against the network?

No, it's not

about revenge;

it's about re-education.

Your network wanted

to investigate

how a boy could be involved

in such atrocities?

Well, I have shown you here,

firsthand.

Let me get this straight.

So, you're not really

a pirate, are you?

No.

I left Somalia

when Mateo

was still a baby.

Off to better myself.

By the time I got back

he was already taking orders

from those two.

There was nothing I could do.

When he was captured

on that ship,

they fled and set him up

to take the blame.

So, this whole thing

is a trap for them.

Something like that.

And they don't know

who you are!

Oh, they will.

They will.

Why film everything?

When America sees

that skinny boy in the back,

they will see my brother too.

The abuse he endured.

How they cornered

a helpless child

and make him do

unspeakable things

for their own gain.

In other words...

exactly what you've done

to this kid!

I don't understand,

you blame these two

for having made your brother,

but who made them?

I mean, aren't they somebody's

f***ed up little brothers, too?

Where does it end?

That kid killed

one of my colleagues.

If he is supposed to be

the mirror image of Mateo,

what does it do

for your brother?

How does it

make him look?

Makes him look

like a killer.

- Do not deviate.

- Finley, you're crazy, man!

Can I ask any questions?

Only if you allow them,

okay?

So what are the assurances

that he'll let us leave?

Ian Finley and his cameraman

obviously approaching

with great caution.

I just realized

I forgot to get my sister

a souvenir. We'll pick one up in Nairobi.

And so what if America

sees this footage

and they decide

that that kid back there,

and therefore

your brother,

is to be held responsible,

because they

were taken advantage of,

and that's not right,

but ultimately,

they made the choice.

Really?

In which case,

I would like you to share

with America right now,

why you made the choice

to stab that pilot.

Diagnose your motivations

for the camera, please.

What's stopping me

from telling your friends

you're going to hang

them all out to dry?

Even if you could,

it would be

mutually assured destruction.

I'm just curious...

if you're not a pirate

by occupation,

what are you;

I mean, before today?

Well...

I am a schoolteacher.

Frank...go to the back

and be smart.

And as you can see

on your screen now,

they've just opened the door,

that's the first time

since the plane

was taken hours ago.

Come.

Is he a cop?

I don't know!

Should we say something

to him?

I mean,

we gotta let him know...

No.

Let's see what happens.

I was told that there were

more than three hostages.

You mean more than three

white hostages?

No, I meant passengers.

What about the African crew?

Are they not hostages?

Yes, of course they are,

but that's not what I meant.

Just...

Can I just speak

to one of them please? You have two minutes.

Please.

Sir, are you the captain?

I am.

How many passengers

boarded the plane?

However many you see here.

How about asking one

of the non-African hostages,

since you like

to make the distinction.

No, actually...

I think we're okay.

I'm just going to...

if I may...

continue...

Make it quick.

Why are you allowing them

to film,

if you don't mind my asking?

It's none of your business.

You have one more minute.

Just to reiterate

if you've just tuned in,

we do not have a feed

inside the plane at this time.

We're going to have to wait

for Ian and his cameraman.

It's been about

three minutes so far.

As you can see,

everything is fine.

Okay, Finley, let's go.

Let's go.

Go, go.

Oh, my God,

there's blood on his shirt.

- F***!

- Wait, wait, wait!

F***!

It's been roughly

ten minutes

since Finley

was brought on board.

It was thought that

he would've returned by now.

Where did the blood

come from?

On my shirt,

where did it come from?

They killed two

of our friends already.

Nadifa, what are they

arguing about?

Whether or not to kill us.

At least they're

arguing about it.

This isn't what you think.

He's not even a pirate.

He's using this whole thing

as a setup

for the other two. What does that mean?

It's revenge

for what they did to his brother.

What do you mean, his brother?

What do you mean?

Who is his brother?

- You know English.

- Oh, f***.

Say it again,

who is his brother?

- Sir, there was something else.

- Who is his brother?

What do you mean?

You misunderstood!

Who is his brother?

You misunderstood!

Who is his brother?

Frank, if you know

his name tell him.

Who is he?

Mateo Wal-i-Musi.

Mateo Wal-i-Musi?

Okay, hold on.

Mateo?

Is that true?

Leave that boy alone!

Leave him alone!

Is that true?

This is your trial!

You f***ing cowards!

Get up!

Sh*t, oh, sh*t!

F***, f***...

It's crazy!

Why not take me instead?

Let her go!

Let her go!

Why not take me instead?

It has always been about me!

Come, come, come.

Frank, no, Frank...

Quickly, quickly!

Oh, my God!

The door has just opened!

And that appears to be

Frank Saltzman.

I don't know what to say!

Say something, Frank!

Move back!

It seems he has a gun

to his...

Oh, my God!

Frank!

Give me it!

Pete!

Are you stupid?

They're gonna shoot us down!

No...

I don't know!

Okay, go, go.

Everybody down!

Everybody down!

Hey, hey!

Ladies and gentlemen...

I recommend that if you find

this difficult to watch

as indeed I do,

perhaps you mute your television

for a few moments...

We've just received

this breaking news...

Good evening.

Today marks

the one-year anniversary

of the deadly hijacking

of Nairobi 86.

A tragedy that killed

nine people,

including four of our fellow

ANC employees.

Kane Lamprey,

Juliana Christensen,

Marcela Descalso,

and of course,

Frank Saltzman,

an American news icon.

Even a year later,

investigators continue to make

shocking discoveries,

after sifting through hours

of footage recovered

from cameras

on board the plane.

Each new revelation

has sparked a media frenzy.

But has it

also played a part

in the recent decision
