---

- What?

- Wake up right now, man.

- We're in?

- Right now.

- We're on. All right.

[laughs]

It's gone.

- Next time you follow

my orders, man.

They thought you were CIA.

- You f***ing serious? CIA?

- Yeah.

- Me?

- Of course.

- F***! F***.

[tense music]

[knock at door]

Abdi, not now!

- He say he's your father.

He call my phone.

- My father?

- Yes.

- Really?

- He called my phone.

- [grunts]

- Hello? Dad?

- Jesus, Jay, thank God

you're okay.

We've been watching this whole

Captain Phillips

hostage thing on CNN.

You've got to get

the hell out of there.

- Dad, I'm fine.

What are you talking about?

- Those pirates are crazy.

They're threatening

to kill Americans.

- Dad, I'm Canadian.

I thought at least

you would know that.

- Not a time for joking, Jay.

We want you on

the next plane out.

- Dad, I understand your

concern,

but it's gonna be okay.

It's not a big deal.

- Jay, sweetheart, you need

to come home.

- Hi, Mom.

I was just telling Dad

I'm fine.

- But we're watching CNN

right now, and it is not fine.

- Mom, the media is probably

spinning some bullshit tale.

I've heard nothing

about it here.

- It must be the opium.

He's probably become

one of those child soldiers.

- You're going to kill

your mother, Jay,

unless you say

you're going to come home.

- Okay, but I need money wired.

- Money?

- See?

It's the opium, I told you.

- Yeah, I didn't want to ask

you guys, but, you know,

I'm really--I don't really

have a choice.

Somalia's expensive. Who knew?

- Reports are now three

U.S. Navy ships

are steaming toward

the Maersk Alabama.

- Taken by pirates--

- [struggling]

- The destroyer,

the USS Bainbridge,

is on the scene.

- [screaming]

- Apparently Captain Phillips,

the ship's captain,

has been taken hostage

by the fleeing pirates

in a covered lifeboat.

- The pirates have been--

[screaming]

- The hostage standoff

ended today with the death

of the three pirates

and the eventual release

of their hostage,

Captain Richard Phillips.

- Somali pirates--

- Somali pirates

throughout the country

reacted angrily,

saying they will capture

and kill any foreigners

they find to avenge

their comrades' death.

- At this time no one is

taking credit for the operation.

We will get answers soon because

my father is demanding it.

- Mr. Farole, three pirates have

been killed by the Americans.

There is going to be revenge,

and it's too dangerous

for Mr. Bahadur

to remain here in Garowe.

- No, it's not.

I will keep a low profile.

- Just like you did in Eyl?

- Eyl was a mistake, okay?

- You keep saying

it was a mistake.

- I messed up.

I'm sorry about that.

- It was a mistake.

- I was a little high strung.

- Don't be telling this.

You're staying here--

- Okay, I have learned from it,

and I'm all good now.

I'm not gonna do that again.

- Mr. Bahadur, I agree

with the Colonel, okay?

I think we have to

get you out of here.

We do not need any harm coming

to you. Do you understand that?

- I get that.

- Do you understand that?

- Mr. Farole,

I understand that, okay?

I understand your concern

for my safety.

- It doesn't look

like you understand.

- I understand the concern

for my safety,

but you need somebody here.

I need to find out

who's behind this, okay?

I need to interview them.

- No, no, Mr.--

- So I can interview them.

That's why you brought me here!

- No, no.

- That's why you've been

protecting me the whole time!

- People are dying, okay?

- Madness.

Khat's eating his brain.

- Khat?

- Khat is not eating

my f***ing brain.

- It is. I can hear that.

- There's no one else here

from the Western media.

- Mr. Bahadur, calm down!

- Your father needs

somebody on his side!

- Mr. Bahadur, this--this--

- He needs somebody on his side!

All of f***ing Somalia

needs somebody on their side!

- Mr. Bahadur,

this is not negotiable.

I cannot risk your blood

on my hands, okay?

- Okay.

- Abdi, come in!

Can you please make arrangements

for Mr. Bahadur

to fly home tomorrow?

[speaking Somali]

- Yes, Mr. Farole.

- And make sure

his account are settled.

- Accounts settled, okay.

- [speaking Somali]

- Please tell me my parents

sent me that money.

- Yes.

It's already in the bank.

- Really?

- Yes.

- That is the best news,

the f***ing best!

Mm, Mom and Dad, I love you.

You think we could set up

a final meeting with Boyah?

- I already have, bro.

- You did?

- Yes, we're actually

running late.

- Abdi! Abdi!

Where's our rig?

- For once, you're local.

Here.

- Is this--uh,

is this--is this necessary?

- Do you see me wearing

my Obama hat?

- [speaking Somali]

[all shouting in Somali]

- What are they saying?

- They think we're

from the government.

- We have a meeting with Boyah,

a meeting, a meeting.

- [speaking Somali]

- Tell them that--tell them

that I have a gift

in my bag for Boyah.

If they let me open it,

I can show them.

- Jay, no joking right now.

- I'm not f***ing joking.

It's a f***ing gift for Boyah.

- [speaking Somali]

Show them this.

- It's all cool. It's all cool.

It's all cool.

- [speaking Somali]

- Blue Jays. Blue Jays.

- [speaking Somali]

- Canned tuna-

- [speaking Somali]

- Was the only export

from the country.

- [speaking Somali]

- And today it's very sad.

All it's good for is a target

the size of a man's heart.

- Is that what you aim for?

[both speaking Somali]

- If necessary.

- You're an amazing shot.

- [speaking Somali]

- No. No, no, no. No.

Sorry, I--I will totally suck.

I'm terrible.

- [speaking Somali]

- I'm not even--

- [speaking Somali]

- I'm shooting, okay.

- [speaking Somali]

- He say don't aim

as your enemy.

You shoot for

your lover's heart.

- That's super f***ed up.

[laughs]

I don't know what that means,

but all right.

All right.

- [speaking Somali]

- [exhales]

- Hey!

[laughter]

- Yeah!

[both yelling]

- Hey!

- Hey!

- [speaking Somali]

- He wants to know

who is the lucky girl.

- That is an ex-girlfriend

who's getting married to

someone else.

[both speaking Somali]

- He say it's

a waste of bullets.

- You think? I mean,

I nailed that sh*t. Hit it.

[both speaking Somali]

- There is no joy

in your victory,

only revenge.

- [speaking Somali]

- He say he know why you come.

You want to know about

the American ship

that have been attacked,

but he want to tell you

he didn't do it.

- Does he know who did?

[both speaking Somali]

- No.

- [speaking Somali]

- But the easiest way

to find out...

- [speaking Somali]

- ...Is to follow the heart.

Maryan will know.

[thrilling music]

- Is Maryan here?

- [speaking Somali]

- She's not here today?

[both speaking Somali]

[shouting in Somali]

- [speaking Somali]

You find her?

- No.

- Boyah has been arrested.

- What?

- The president is feeling

the pressure

over the American hijacking.

- Boyah didn't do anything.

- He's done enough.

- Sh*t.

- Jay?

Don't worry. Your words
