Captain Phillips (2013) - full transcript
Captain Phillips is a multi-layered examination of the 2009 hijacking of the U.S. container ship Maersk Alabama by a crew of Somali pirates. It is - through director Paul Greengrass's distinctive lens - simultaneously a pulse-pounding thriller, and a complex portrait of the myriad effects of globalization. The film focuses on the relationship between the Alabama's commanding officer, Captain Richard Phillips (two time Academy Award®-winner Tom Hanks), and the Somali pirate captain, Muse (Barkhad Abdi), who takes him hostage. Phillips and Muse are set on an unstoppable collision course when Muse and his crew target Phillips' unarmed ship; in the ensuing standoff, 145 miles off the Somali coast, both men will find themselves at the mercy of forces beyond their control.

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.
ANDREA: 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

Unattended baggage is subject

give us armed guards?
SHANE: Move it in.
The captain's here.
Blips on the radar that are
clocking at 27 knots.
They were moving.
We cannot outrun these guys.
Obviously, we all just went
through a dangerous situation.
Two skiffs, both with armed intruders.
Now, we all know that's a hazard
in these waters, but you performed well.
The ship performed well.
The authorities
have been made aware
so I think we have the situation
well in hand.
From now on,
we just follow our normal duties.
Mate, what do you got?
Yeah. We're all on double shifts
until we make it through these waters.
All right. Chief, can you keep
your engineers on roster?
We'll keep a guy in the ECR
around the clock.
All right. Enjoy your coffee.
CRONAN:
Cap.
They're coming back.
MAN 3: Amen. Yeah, that's right.
They're coming back.
If they come back, we'll follow procedure.
They worked today, they'll work again.
We got the speed, we got the height,
we got hoses that can sink those skiffs.
We will follow the procedures even if
we have to shut down, lock down,
go dead in the water
and wait for help.
(MEN CLAMORING)
Now, wait. I'm a u--
Okay, I'm a union guy, okay?
Twenty-five years, all right?
I'm telling you now that they're
not paying me enough to fight pirates.
You all signed up for a route
around the Horn of Africa.
What did you expect?
I didn't sign up for the Navy over here.
You signed up for the route.
For a cargo ship.
SHANE: What did you expect?
MAN 4: Not getting
attacked without weapons.
Why don't we get out of here?
Put room between us.
Go where?
In eight hours,
we could be a hundred miles from here.
KENNY: Hundred to a 150.
There's five pirate bands
in this part of the world.
You go out 300 miles, you run into one,
go 6, you run into another.
Our job ¡s to move the cargo as
fast as possible. That's the job.
If anybody doesn't like it,
if anybody wants off,
if anybody doesn't like this route
between Salalah, Djibouti
and Mombasa,
come to my office and
sign the paperwork per the union,
and you'll be on the first flight home
out of Mombasa.
Enjoy your coffee.
Let's get back to work.

We won't be able to see if it goes off.
I'll take you. We'll search the ship.
But you stop threatening my men.
No game.
PHILLIPS: No game.
Let's go.

Take his radio.
(SPEAKS IN SOMALI)
All right. Okay.
MUSE (IN ENGLISH):
Go.
Gotta get these lights off.
They're gonna see us.
We need to shut down the generator
on the main deck.
You think you can get up there?
Yeah.
SHANE: I'm gonna go to the mess, get water.
Get everyone on the lower level.
All right. I'm on 2.
Just start at the very top.
This is E deck.
And we'll just work our way down
one by one, huh?
Cargo hold is probably where they are.
There's a lot of places to hide.
And I'm not trying to trick you.
I wanna find these guys
just as much as you do.
(IN SOMALI)
Take his flashlight.
PHILLIPS: We should just move on,
because we're wasting time here.
Like I say,
the cargo deck's the best place to look.
MUSE (IN ENGLISH):
Somebody messing with ship.
Engine room.
If we're going about this systematically,
we started at the top,
we're working our way down,
so we should try the cargo deck.
Problem from engine room.
We go there now.
All right.
Engine room.
It's gonna be really
hot down there.
Without the power on,
there's no ventilation, no air.
Maybe we should get some water
from the mess down on A deck?
Then engine room. Go.
Okay.

PHILLIPS:
This is A deck.
PHILLIPS:
So here we are.
This is the galley.
This is where we make the food.
All right. Here, some water.

This is cold storage.
It's a vegetable room.
Careful in here in the bare feet.
You could cut them
on almost anything.
Want some of this melon?
It's left over from breakfast.
It's just gonna go bad.
It's just gonna spoil.
It's usually left out
for the first meal of the day.
Maybe we should--
Go ahead, help yourself. Here you go.
Help yourself.
It's usually for breakfast, but...
Enough. Engine room.
All right.
Cronan. Cronan. Do you read?
Yeah, I got you.
They're on their way to you.

MUSE: Up.
(SPEAKS IN SOMALI THEN GROANING)
There's a first-aid kit--
Put your hands up! Who did this?

Nobody. It was just a dumb accident.
We should get that looked at.
There's a kit in the control room.

You'll never find them.
We'll never find them.

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

All right. I'm on 2.
Just start at the very top.
This is E deck.
And we'll just work our way down

Cargo hold is probably where they are.
There's a lot of places to hide.
And I'm not trying to trick you.
I wanna find these guys
just as much as you do.

Take his flashlight.
PHILLIPS: We should just move on,
because we're wasting time here.
Like I say,
the cargo deck's the best place to look.
MUSE (IN ENGLISH):
Somebody messing with ship.
Engine room.
If we're going about this systematically,
we started at the top,
we're working our way down,
so we should try the cargo deck.
Problem from engine room.
We go there now.
All right.
Engine room.
It's gonna be really
hot down there.
Without the power on,
there's no ventilation, no air.
Maybe we should get some water
from the mess down on A deck?
Then engine room. Go.
Okay.

We should get that looked at.

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

Watch him closely.
MUSE (IN ENGLISH):
Irish, your crew,
FUD.
Ship go.
PHILLIPS:
It's the Navy clearing the area.
You better think
about what you're doing.
Navy good. They protect us.
Back to Somalia.
The Navy's not here to protect you.
They're not here to negotiate either.
No choice.
I got you.
NEMO: Open your door! We are
here with your supplies.
(CHATTERING IN SOMALI)
Guns down!

We're just here to help you.
Put your guns down now!

Ten million dollars.
Listen, you're hurt.
We've got doctors on board.
Let us take care of you.
Hurry up!
They're treating us like children.
Ten million dollars, when?
It's not that easy
so we need time.
We've got to talk about this.
Hurry up, I said!
(NAJEE SHOUTING IN SOMALI)
No camera! No camera!
(SHOUTING IN SOMALI)
Gunfire, take cover!
Aah!
Who fired? TAO, who fired?
Get the RHIBs out of there.
Scram the RHIBs, scram the RHIBs.
Are you crazy? What are you doing?
You'll get us all killed!
Do you have to talk all day?
(IN SOMALI) You're crazy. What
do you think you're doing?
All you do is talk!
CASTELLANO (OVER RADIO):
Alabama lifeboat, come in.
Move.
You have to be strong
to get what you want.
CASTELLANO:
We have to talk.
(IN ENGLISH)
Just an accident. Just an accident.
Is anyone hurt?
No, American fine. American okay.
I need to hear it from him.
I say he okay.
I need to hear it from him.
(BOTH SHOUTING IN SOMALI)
NAJEE (IN ENGLISH):
Get up! Get up!
Move. Move.
MUSE: Talk.
Yeah, yeah, it's me.
Are you okay?
It's falling apart in here. He just
fired off a round next to my head.
Is the leader there?
Yeah, he can hear you.
CASTELLANO: Captain, listen to me.
We will not tolerate this.
As captain, you're responsible
for the lives of everyone on board.
Right now
you are putting them in jeopardy.
We wanna resolve this thing
peacefully.
Let's find a way out of this together
before someone gets hurt.
Alabama lifeboat, respond.
I talk when I go Somalia.

MUSE (IN ENGLISH): Down! 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?
(IN ENGLISH) Shut up.
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.

Let's get a flare in the air.
Find him. Don't kill him.

Don't shoot!
NAJEE (IN ENGLISH):

NAJEE:
Not today!
Stop him!

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)
MUSE (IN ENGLISH):
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?

They have no respect for us.
We have to play games?
