He's a specialist in these

kinds of situations.

Yes, please go ahead.

My name is Maria Hartmann.

And this is my daughter Kamilla.

I'm married to Mikkel Hartmann

who's the cook on the ship.

You said earlier that you haven't

had any contact with the pirates,

How do you then know that they are okay?

How do you know they are not already dead?

Yes thanks. - Excuse me. - Maria...

Honestly we don't know.

But that would really surprise us.

The ship down there, Rozen,

has no value to us.

The only thing the pirates have to

negotiate for is our crew.

Mikkel.

Your sons, and your brothers.

That's the only the only thing

they have to negotiate for.

So personally, Maria,

I believe they are all alive.

Okay, thanks.

Thank you.

-Hi, Mikkel.

How are you?

We have it okay.

The crew is healthy, but the

captain used to have an ulcer,

About five years ago.

He had surgery-

-and was on medication for a couple

of years but was deemed healthy.

-So he could be sick?

-Yeah.

F***! Sorry.

We have to pee in this corner.

It stinks like hell.

The captain has sh*t on everything.

It's so damn gross.

Ah for fucks sake.

We've got to get out and use

the toilets out there.

We can't stay in here with this

stink all the time.

-Did you ask about the toilet?

-Yeah.

-We're getting sick, tell them.

-I'll tell them.

-We're not worthless to them if...

-Can't you shut up?!

We've got to get out of here.

Let's meet back up here in 10 minutes.

The problem with flying from Tanzania

is the distance to the ship.

We risk the pilot turning

before

he reaches it.

I don't follow.

He must know where...

It's small planes, we're talking

about the fuel

In theory it works but any changes

or if the weather...

-Why not Mombasa then?

-In theory it's the best.

But it's illegal to bring in...

-Hi. Am I interrupting?

-Hello Anette.

Did we schedule something?

-Do I have to?

-No.

I'd just feel bad if I had

forgotten about something

-We didn't.

-Hi.

Lovely to see you. Hi honey.

-Sit down.

-I'll come back later?

Yes we can do this later but...

-The boss has spoken.

-The boss has spoken, yeah.

Talk to Connor about alternatives.

Call Soren Lundtoft at Danske Bank.

They must have the cash ready.

-I'll call Soren.

-Good. Thank you.

You brought shirts, thank you.

-I thought you needed some.

-How nice of you.

What are you doing?

I'm pissing.

God damnit, Mikkel.

God damnit it smell bad.

So disgusting.

Let's try to become a bit

of a friend with him.

He's got his finger on the trigger.

Damnit, his mood swings.

-Holy sh*t, what's happening?

-He's doing like in the picture.

-This is not funny, Mikkel.

-Yes.
