Captain Phillips Page #2

Synopsis: 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.

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]

She puts on her makeup

And brushes her long blonde hair

And then she asks me,

"Do I look all right?"

And I say,

"Yes, you look wonderful tonight

[SIGHS]

Morning.

Hey, Cap.

KENNY:
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.

SHANE:
Let's go.

[HORN BLARES]

That way the pirates know we're aware of

them and are ready to defend the ship.

Hustle up. Let's go.

[SIREN WAILING]

Attention, all crew.

[OVER PA] All crew.

All men to your stations on deck.

Repeat,

all men to your deck stations now.

Let's do this.

[DOOR OPENS THEN CLOSES]

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.

MAN 1:

Get those hoses on.

Bring it around, bring around,

bring around.

MAN 2:
Watch it, man.

MAN 1:
Ready with number six.

SHANE:

All right.

You tied up?

MAN 3:

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.

[BREATHES DEEPLY]

[BEEPING]

[]

Shane, come up to the bridge.

SHANE:

Okay.

[]

What's up, Cap? Everything okay?

I don't like the look of that.

[DIALING]

Yeah, Cap.

Chief, I want all your guys on station.

Still in the drill?

This is real-world. Someone coming up

on our starboard quarter.

Got it.

[]

Port, 5 degrees.

Let's see if they follow us.

Port, 5.

[]

[BEEPING CONTINUES]

Get the crew back

to their muster stations.

Right.

Attention, all crew.

Return to your muster stations.

[OVER PA]

Repeat, return to your muster stations.

This is not a drill.

This is a real-world situation.

Yeah, Cap.

I want to come up to 122.

Second mate and helmsman

to the bridge.

You're good. Bring her on up.

[]

Now get me U.S. Maritime Emergency.

[DIALING]

Two skiffs.

Can't tell how many they're carrying.

SHANE:

Copy that.

There's no answer

at the U.S. Maritime Emergency line.

Raise the UKMTO.

Right.

What's up?

We got two skiffs approaching.

Get on the radar.
