Captain Phillips

Okay.

You all right?

Yeah.

You'd think these trips would get easier, but it's just the opposite.

Well, I feel the same way, Ange.

I know this is what we do. This is our life.

But it just seems like the world is moving so fast,

and right now things are changing so much.

They sure are.

I'll tell you something. It's not gonna be easy for our kids.

They're going into a different world than the one you and I came into.

Yeah.

You know, both our kids are doing great.

But it worries me when Danny doesn't take school seriously.

Him missing class. That could come out...

it might hurt him when he's out looking for a job, you know?

The competition out there. When I was starting out,

you could make captain if you put your head down and did your work.

But young guys coming up now...

Companies want things faster and cheaper.

And 50 guys compete for every job.

Everything's different, and big wheels are turning.

You gotta be strong to survive out there.

Mm.

I hear what you're saying.

It's gonna be okay, right?

Oh, yeah.

Gonna be okay.

MAN (OVER PA) This is a special security announcement.

Please maintain control of your personal belongings at all times.

Unattended baggage is subject to search, inspection and removal.

I love you. Love you too.

Have a safe trip. I'll call you from there.

They're here!

Hurry, Muse!

MAN (IN SOMALI) What the hell are you doing? Why aren't you out on the water?

You know what you're supposed to do!

You should be out there earning money!

But we caught a ship last week.

That was last week!

The boss wants money today!

Bring Garaad another ship soon

or you will answer for it!

Everybody, get back to work now!

Stay out of my way today.

ASAD (IN SOMALI) Hufan!

I'm going to get us something big!

Those who want to make money, come.

Muse, take me with you.

Does your sister know you're here?

She's selling khat up there.

This is her best stuff.

When we get a big ship, you will be well paid.

You want to work?

Do you know how to steer a boat?

Go, go.

I'm ready.

What do you have for me? Money.

When are you gonna give it to me? As soon as we're paid.

Spread out!

Let my other man choose his crew.

Next time bring me something if you want to work.

Come on, Bilal.

Hey, Skinny, I can steer your boat.

If you choose me, you won't regret it.

Okay, Elmi.

I need somebody strong.

Somebody like this?

I want him.

Get out of my way!

Why did he pick him?

He's from another village.

Move!

Faster, move faster!

See if you can get more power.

Okay.

You!

Get over here!

Come help us!

(MIDDLE-EASTERN MUSIC PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS)

Okay, pull it in!

Sign right there, sir.

You have a good day.

Hello, Cap. Let me get that for you. Morning.

MAN 1 (OVER PA) Attention, all crew. All crew.

1500 departure three out.

Hey, good to see you, Cap. Shane. Good to see you.

Good to see you. Hey. Carry on.

Hey, bos? MAN 2: Yeah?

Get on that safety rail, huh?

Kenny. KENNY: Yeah?

I want you to go down to the deck office, grab Jimmy, get on the Lodestar.

Mm-hm. That ballast, move it five points.

Take care of that now. You got it.

How's the family, Cap?

Oh, you know.

Andrea's a champ, one kid gone, another kid going.

How are the boxes?

Oh, you know. Just putting a few last containers on.

Twenty-four hundred tons of commercial cargo, 200 tons of food aid,

166 tons of freshwater, 250 metric tons of fuel bunkered.

Walk me through the plan.

So here we are in Salalah.

Travel down the coalition corridor to Djibouti.

Then we exit the shipping lane

south of Socotra.

Socotra, okay.

Then we're on our own down the coast through the Somali Basin,

all the way down to Mombasa.

MAN 1 (OVER RADIO) We need five minutes on that reefer bow.

We should be able to unload the containers around 0800.

Well, let's tighten up security.

We are going around the Horn of Africa, right?

We got pirate cages. They were all open. All the doors are unlocked.

I want everything closed, locked, even in port.

Right. Fine. Ready to leave. 1500.

Absolutely, Cap. You got it.

Stow the gangway.

Last lines in.

Okay. Lower it.

Sixteen-B ready. Take it up.

Tighten it up.

Hey, slow down.

Bow clear.

Stern lines are clear.

Bow thruster full starboard.

Bow thruster on.

All lines clear. Ship is under way.

Dead slow ahead. Dead slow ahead.

Keep those hatches locked down.

Cap. Morning.

Check that rigging.

Shane. SHANE: Yeah?

We need those time sheets.

She's winking at me. But it turns out that's what they do.

I'll show you this place. I'll take you.

I'll have two beers and a bucketful of sin, please.

Yeah. About done with that coffee?

Yeah. CRONAN: Yeah, we're done.

That's 15, guys.

Back to work. Come on, let's go.

Jesus. MAN: See you down there, Mike.

Their main route is packed with ships

but we can't attack a herd.

This one is alone.

(ERIC CLAPTON'S "WONDERFUL TONIGHT" PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS)

Morning.

Hey, Cap.

Cap. Morning, Cap.

Shane, I want to do some security drills, unannounced.

Starting now.

Uh, what? Fire, man overboard?

Everything. Ken, you're the duty officer?

Yeah, Cap. Right.

Boat with two armed men is approaching on your starboard beam.

No, no. Whistle first. Let's go.

That way the pirates know we're aware of them and are ready to defend the ship.

Hustle up. Let's go.

Attention, all crew.

All crew. All men to your stations on deck.

Repeat, all men to your deck stations now.

Let's do this.

Come on... Get those keys off your hip. Put them in your pocket. Come on, guys.

Pirates capture you and find those keys,

they'll have access to every door on this ship.

Get those hoses on.

Bring it around, bring around, bring around.

Watch it, man. MAN 1: Ready with number six.

All right.

You tied up?

All done here, Shane.

Hey, Cap, this is Shane. Do you read? Yeah, Shane, go ahead.

Things are looking good down here. We're getting close with the hoses.

All right. Let me know when you're ready down there.

Copy that.

Shane, come up to the bridge.

Okay.

What's up, Cap? Everything okay?

I don't like the look of that.
