" Hello." " Hi, gorgeous." "It's me." " Baby, you're in Mumbai already?" " No." "In another few days." " I miss you, baby." " I miss you too." " How are you?" " Fine." "But listen..." "Promise me not to get mad, okay?" "What's up?" "I'll be home on the 17th and not the 15th." " You can't be serious." " Yes." "I have to stay a few days in Mumbai and show the new cook the ropes." "That's not okay." "We agreed that..." "Yes, we did, but your husband loves you more than anything else because you're the most beautiful, gorgeous and understanding wife." "That's why he loves you so much." "Yeah right." "That's a mean trick to pull." "Is the little princess there?" "You don't want to talk to me anymore?" "Please put her on." "The captain just came." "Okay." "Take care, baby." " Sure." "Bye." " Bye." "Kamilla?" "It's Dad." " Here she comes." " Thanks." " Hi." " Hey, little princess." "Do you hear me?" "Hi, Dad." " It's Dad." " Talk into the phone." "Sweetie, say something." "Dad." "When are you coming home?" "Hi." "Day 1" " Morning, cook." " Hello." " Fresh toast." " Thank you." "Omelet... with paprika and chili like you like it." " Wow wow wow." "That's great, man." " It's good?" "Very tasty." "Superb." "Beautiful, beautiful." " Thank you." "Thank you." " Great." "Simply great." "It's because I have a secret ingredient." "Do you know what that is?" "Love." "You give your love to us." "Right?" "That's why we love you." "Good morning, Mr. Sharma." "This is motor vessel Rozen." " Will you organize our berth, please?" " Yes, sir." " And we'll need some provisions." " Thank you." " You're welcome." " We'll e-mail you the list a bit later." " Yes." " Okay." " Here you go." " Yup." "We will have everything ready for you here." "Lovely." "All right, Mr. Sharma, have a good day." " Captain?" " Yeah?" " Milk and sugar, right?" " Yeah yeah, please." "Perfect." " What are you doing here?" " Checking the water supply." "We need fresh water in Mumbai." "No need to shout." " You want water for your coffee?" " That would be nice." " Great to see you doing something." " You're on your break?" "Aye." " Mikkel?" " Yeah?" " Do me a favor." " Sure." "Deliver this for me." "A letter for my sister and a gift for my nephew." " I'd really appreciate it." " I thought she lived in Greve." " It is in Greve." " Solroed Strand?" "It's in Greve." "You've been at sea for too long." "And the gift." " It's important." " I'll take good care of it." " Are you ready to go?" " Hell yeah." " I can't wait." " I bet." "It's gonna be great to get home to your girlfriend." "My wife." "Peter speaking." "So what have they got to say?" "Look, if they want to handle our ships, they have to accept our offer." "Yes, but you need to close this deal." "We have other matters to tend to." "In 2011 and 2012, an export of 12 million MT is expected." "Then there's the sad affair of the Japanese market." "The tsunami has taken its toll on their industry." "But we must be out there, ready for the boom." " Speaking of Japan, Peter..." " Yes?" "Japan is a high priority of ours, isn't it?" "Yes." "We're negotiating with them upstairs as we speak." " Are we closing the deal tonight?" " Absolutely." " And we'll reach our goal of 10%." " Great." " Hi, Jytte." " Hi." "Good meeting?" " Excellent, thanks." " Lars Vestergaard is waiting for you." "Vestergaard?" "He said it was important." "Thank you." " Aren't you with the Japanese?" " Yes." "I just took a quick break..." " Okay." " ...to give you an update." "Here you go." "I know the contract proposal." "So what's the problem?" "I just want to make sure we're in sync before I put the squeeze on them." "We started out at 21, and we want to come in under 15." " Right." " How far off are we?" " We're at 19." " 19?" " Yeah." "Yeah." " Okay, 2 million." "And we want to come in under 15." "Yes, that's right." " We'll get there." "Yeah." " Hang on." "Jytte, cancel the rest of my meetings today." "I won't, and I never intended to pay $19 million." "So, with all respect," "I think we're talking about $10 million." "$10 million is absolutely not enough." "Well, maybe you're right." "Maybe you're right." "But $19 million... honestly, that is way too much." "Our final offer is... $19 million." "Okay." "Gentlemen, this seems to be getting nowhere." "I have to go now." "Nice to meet you." "Excuse me. $17 million." "Hi, Peter." "So, how much did we have to pay?" " 14.5." " Well done." " Lars, congratulations." " Thanks." "Do you mind?" "I've got an interview with the "Stock Review"" "and I'd like to change into a clean shirt." " Okay." "Yes." "Okay." " Yeah?" "Thanks." "Lars, stay for a minute." "Yeah, that's fine." "See you upstairs." "Lars, when you need my help..." "and you clearly needed it here... then get me right away." "Understood?" " Yes." "And thank you." " You're welcome." "Now for the dates." "We need seven or eight days to complete the interview." "I'm at your disposal, but we need to check with my secretary." " She knows my schedule." "Sorry to interrupt." "Peter, please take a look at this." "Excuse me." "I think we have to call it a day." " Thank you." "They've activated the alarm on the Rozen." "We're afraid she's been hijacked." "They've lowered their speed." "They don't answer our calls." " So we have no contact?" " Nothing nothing." "Who's the captain?" " Who's the captain?" " I'm the captain." "I'm the..." "It's me!" "Leave him alone!" "I'm the captain." "You are the captain?" "Follow me." "Okay!" "Who's the cook?" " Who's the cook?" " I'm the cook." "I'm the cook." " I'm the cook." " Who's the cook?" " I am!" " Stand up!" "I need knife." " Okay?" "Here." "Yeah." "I speak English, you know." "The pirates are now on board." "Confirm." "They are now on board." "Over." "It ends there." "When did the first call come in?" "An hour and 35 minutes ago." " Yeah." "Yeah." " Yeah?" " Where were they?" "Where is the ship?" " Look at the screen." "They were bound for Mumbai and seemed to take evasive action here." " They're far out at sea." " Yes." "India is all the way over here." " Yeah." " No history of hijackings out there." " Who's on board?" " I'll get right on it." "We need to get hold of an expert in these matters." " Help me, will you?" "I'll be right back." " Yeah." "Thanks." "Call my wife and say I'll be late." " Right away." " Thank you." " Play it back." " Yeah." "A high-speed boat is approaching us from the stern." "A high-speed boat is approaching us." "Over." "They are coming closer and maneuvering to the starboard side." "Over." " Stop here, stop!" "Stop stop." "Okay." "Day 3" "Honey, you called?" "We're about to meet the families now." "Yeah." "I'm glad to hear that." "Thanks." "Modern-day pirates use the internet, too." "They read the Danish news, too." "It's crucial that we keep that in mind." "If they read that we're willing to do anything to get our men home, it will only prolong the agony." "I hope I've made myself clear." "Yeah?" "Kaj Sorensen." "My wife Lisbeth." "We are the parents of Jan." "Why don't you pay what the pirates demand and get our sons home?" "We still haven't been contacted by the pirates... so we don't know what they demand." "That being said, we're doing our utmost to get the crew home as fast as possible." "And that is why we've chosen to seek professional external help to guide us through the negotiations." "Connor, could you please stand up for a sec?" "This is Mr. Connor Julian." "Connor has a lot of experience and specializes in these situations." "Please, ask away." "My name is Maria Hartmann and this is my daughter Kamilla." "I'm married to Mikkel Hartmann, the ship's cook." "You said you'd had no contact whatsoever with these pirates." "So how can you be sure they're okay?" "How can you be sure they aren't already dead?" "Right." "Excuse me." "Maria..." "The honest answer is we can't be sure... but we sincerely doubt it." "The ship, the Rozen... holds no value to us." "The pirates' only bargaining point is your husband." "Mikkel." "Your sons and brothers are all they have to bargain with." "So I, personally, Maria... believe that they're all alive." " Okay." "Thank you." " You're welcome." "Here we go." "Good." "Basically this is just the basic plan on what's going to happen," " so I'll put it on the board up here." " Okay." " And then..." "You need some help?" "Yeah." "Always comes in handy." "Lovely." "Thanks." "It's not like a normal business." "If you want to go and buy a company, you'll make an offer, counter-offer and that's the way it is." "The mentality of the Somalis and the pirates is not like that." "If we just give them the first demanded figure, they're just gonna turn around and say, "Well, thank you very much." " This was a deposit."" " And then they're going to go up." ""What we actually need is this." So we can't afford to do this." "This is why it's protracted negotiations." "Unfortunately." "If I could just say, "Well, you need to pay 10 million now."" ""Take it home." Poof... go." "It doesn't work that way." "If it did... yeah, it would be great." "We're out of here in a week." "It's not gonna happen though." "When it comes to the communication side of it, we normally bring an outsider in... a trained communicator who'll work on our behalf and actually negotiate for us." "We'll tell him the information that we want to be passed over to the pirates, yeah, which'll be agreed in this room." "We give it to our communicator, and then he talks to the pirates." "If you look at it..." "it's your vessels, your crew, ship, et cetera, et cetera." "If you're emotionally involved, you're thinking with your heart and not with your head, and that's when mistakes happen and we can't afford that to happen." "You're telling me to... call in a guy from outside to actually do the negotiation with the pirates?" " Correct." " That's what you're telling me." "I'm advising you to, Peter." "As I see it, you..." "You're trying to... replace me with someone from outside." "This is my company." "I am the CEO here." "This is my responsibility to take care of this situation." "It's my ship." "It's my crew." "It's my job... to bring back my men." "Okay." "I have to admit, Peter, that you've employed me to guide you through this." "And I'd be remiss if I didn't explain and give you my opinion that I think you're wrong in this decision." "Once you actually get involved in this, this is gonna be an emotional rollercoaster." "You're going to be in a situation you've never ever found yourself in before." "If you make one mistake on that phone when you're dealing with the pirates or get emotionally involved in this, the situation could change." "These people could be hurt or even killed because of you." "I just want to make sure that you're aware of this responsibility on your shoulders." "Thank you, Connor." " I heard you." " Yeah?" "I'm gonna do it." "Day 7" "Sorry." "Please come in." "I'm Omar." "Don't be afraid." "Please come in." "Come in." "Have a seat, please." "Relax." "I'm the negotiator, translator." "I'm here to get you home." "I'm not a pirate or anything, so please don't be scared of me." "I just need you to call home and talk to your boss." " Can I call my wife too?" " Not right now." "We need to take care of business first." "They want $15 million, so as soon as he pays that, the sooner we all get to go home." "You could be here for a week... or maybe a year." "So you really need to convince him." " Hello." " Hello." "This is Omar." "Are you the one in charge?" "Yes, I am." "My name is Peter Ludvigsen." "I am the CEO of Orion Seaways." "Okay, listen, the cook wants to talk to you." "Okay." "Hi." "Hi, Mikkel." " How are you?" " We're fine." "In English, please." "We have to do this in English, okay?" "We're okay, but the captain is sick." "Okay." "Okay, Mikkel, it's fine." "Let's do it in English." "And, Mikkel, please..." "please tell the men that we are taking care of their families in every..." "in every way we can, okay?" "Don't worry about that." "Okay?" "Thank you, sir." "Thank you very much." "Thank you." "I'm calling to tell you... that they want $15 million for the ship and for the crew." "Will you pay that?" "Mikkel, please..." "Mikkel, please listen to me." "I will not talk about this with you." "Okay?" " Yeah, but you..." " I will not talk about it with you." " Please tell them that." " Sir, you need to understand." " Mikkel, please." "Please." " Please please." "Will you pay the money?" "This is not fair to me and not fair to you." "I'm not gonna talk about the money with you and I'm gonna hang up." " Okay?" " No, don't hang up, sir." "I'm gonna hang up." "Goodbye." "Hello?" "You've done a good 'gob." "What about the captain?" "I mean... he was ill." "This is a known piracy tactic." "We need to check this out." "If we can get ahold of the medical records for the whole crew, we'll go through them to see if they have any previous medical conditions." "Yeah." "I'll be back in five." " He sounded very desperate." " He is." "He's in an alien world and you're his only lifeline." "The men are healthy, but the captain has had an ulcer... five years ago, but he had surgery, went on medication for a couple of years and was then pronounced well." " So he could have an ulcer?" " Sure." "Fuck!" "Sorry..." "We have to piss in the bloody corner." "It stinks." "The captain crapped all over the place." "It's gross." "For Christ's sake!" "I want to use the damned toilets." "I can't stand living in this stench." "Did you ask them to let us use them?" "Yes." "We're gonna get ill." " Tell them." " I will..." "Shut the fuck up, will you?" "We've got to get out of here." "Hello." "Hello." "Is it Omar?" "Hello." "Hello." "Can you hear me?" "Yes." "Who is this?" "This is Peter calling from Denmark." "Yes." "Hi, Peter." "Hi, Peter." "Hi, Omar." "How are you?" "I'm fine, thank you." "How are you?" "I'm fine, thank you." "Listen, Omar, I talked to the board, and I have a number for you." "Yes, give it to me, please." "$250,000." "Did I hear you right?" "Did you say $250,000?" " Yes, you heard me." " You know it's not high enough." "You know it's not even close to what we talked about." "Maybe you're right, but please, Omar, take the offer... think about it and please call me back." "I will talk to them." "I will talk to them and I will call you back as soon as possible." "Thank you very much, Omar." "Thank you." "Thank you, sir." " Well done, Peter." " That was it?" "We knew he was never gonna accept it, but the main thing, on the positive side, we've started the negotiation process." "We're on our way." "Good." " Yeah." " Thank you." "Okay, let's take a break." "See you back here in 10." "We could fly out of Tanzania, but the Rozen may be too far away." "The pilot may turn back before he's completed the drop." "Surely he knows how far it is?" "It's a matter of fuel." "Theoretically it's possible, but if the weather conditions..." "The weather, I see." "So why not Mombasa?" "Theoretically it's the best place." "But it's illegal to carry that kind of cash..." "Am I interrupting anything?" " Hi." " Hi, Anette." "Did we have an appointment?" " Do I need one?" " Not at all." "I was just afraid I'd forgotten it." "Well, you haven't." " Hi." "Great to see you." " Hi." " Look, I'll come back later." " Yes." "Yes, but we need to..." " The boss has spoken." " The boss has spoken." "You said that, not me." "Go over potential alternatives with Connor." " Yeah." " And get hold of the bank." "They need to have the cash standing by." " I'll call them right away." " So long." " You brought shirts." "Thanks." " Yeah." "I thought you might need them." "Day 25" "What are you doing?" "Pissing." "Jesus Christ, Mikkel." "It's very good." "Woy-oy-oy-oy." "Thank you." "It was better than pussy." "It was better than... it was very good." "Yes yes, I will empty now." "Man, it stinks!" "Gross!" "Let's try to make friends with him." "Mikkel." "Jan." " Jan." "My name is Jan." "Who are you?" " Rashid." " Rashid." " My name Rashid." " Yes, I know, Rashid." "This is not good." "Gross!" " Here." "Easy with that gun." "He's got his finger on the trigger sometimes." "Damn, his mood swings." "See?" "Party, party." "This is from a party." "Beer, party, party, we have fun." "We have fun." "We go out, we make fun." "You're a good guy." "What the fuck?" "He's imitating the picture." " It's not funny, Mikkel." " Sure it is." "What are you doing?" "That's funny." "Beer." "Beer." "He wants you to lie down." "He wants you to lie down." "You want to party?" " I'm a funny guy" " Don't encourage him." " Sorry." " Okay?" "Why you do that?" " No no no no." " No no, please don't." "Watch this." "Please." "No no, it's okay." "All right, gentlemen, we're on to week 4 now." "We gonna be expecting a phone call from the pirates at any moment." "Before that happens, I just want to have a quick sitrep just so we know where we are." "We know that the captain wasn't very well." "We have to try and find out his condition." "Also one of the other things as well is to find out where the crew are situated on-board the vessel." "If we know where we are, then we know what sort of condition they'll be in." "Yeah, are they getting food?" "Are they getting water?" "Are they getting shelter?" "Don't forget, it's gonna be very very hot in these conditions." "Okay?" "Another thing is food." "Not too worried about the food side of it." "If they run out, what they're gonna do is bring goats on board and slaughter them there." "Here we are." "Good luck." " Quiet please, gentlemen." " Okay, sit down." "Hello." "Is it Omar?" "Hi, Peter." "Hello, Omar." "How are you?" "I'm good." "I have very good news for you." "Fine." "I have talked to them and they have agreed to come down to $12 million." "And that is $3 million down." "They just hope that this moves a lot faster." "Thank you, Omar." "I'll talk to my board about that." "But listen, Omar." "I want to talk to you about the crew, because we heard the captain was ill." "Peter, let me stop you right there." "I don't want to talk about the captain or the crew." "Maybe if you make me a better offer, then I can talk to you about it." "But right now I want to talk about the money." "Omar, can I be honest with you?" "I think that $12 million is way off the market price for a vessel like Rozen." "I think that we need to go under... $5 million." "We need to go under $5 million before we can talk serious." "Okay, listen, Peter, I will talk to them but you need to take these guys seriously." "I do." "No, Omar, of course not." "I take this very serious, and I think you are very professional, all of you." "You know what, Peter, don't... don't you say that to me again." "I'm not a pirate." "I'm not one of them." "Don't talk to me like I'm one of them." "I'm not a pirate." "I'm just a transmitter!" "Do you understand?" "These are not..." "Okay." "I'm so sorry, Omar." "I'm so sorry." "I didn't mean to accuse you of anything like that." "I know that you are not one of the pirates." "I'm so sorry." "Day 39" " You want food?" "You want... okay." "No, look here." "There's no food." "Look!" "Only... this is what is left of the rice." "Curry." "No, this is what is left of the rice." "We have..." "Pig." "Pig." "You want pig?" "I need to talk to Omar." "Omar." "I need to talk to Omar." "Yeah, but..." "Rashid, if I talk to Omar, I get food." "If I get food, I prepare..." "Omar!" "Omar!" "Omar?" "Okay." "We need some air, you know?" "You need to let us outside of the mess." "We need some food." "There's no more food on the ship." "We need some real food." "Meat, rice, vegetables." "We need to have the captain" " into the shower." " Listen listen listen." "No, we need to know..." "we need to know what is going on." "Listen to me." "I don't know what's going on either." "I don't know what's going on." "I need some stuff too." "Can you help me with what I need?" "I need money." "I need to go home." "I need my wife and kids." " I need some stuff." " What do you think I need?" " Don't you think I want to go home?" " I don't know." " Don't you think I want to go home?" " I cannot help you" " with these things." "Can you help me?" " No, you can help me." " No, I cannot." " You can talk to them." " No, I cannot." " Yes, you can." "No, how could I talk to them?" "I'm just like you." " Because you're keeping me here." " I'm not keeping you here!" "What are you talking about?" "I'm not one of them." "You know who's keeping you here?" "Your fucking boss is keeping you here." "I'm not keeping you here." "If he would have paid the money, we would have went home long time ago." "You understand?" "So give this list to... to your boss." "Don't give it to me." "Don't come crying to me." "Don't come in here making demands." "Call him right now." "Right now." "Call him right now and tell him what you told me." "And tell him to pay the fucking money so we can go." "Go ahead." "Hello, Omar." "It's not Omar." "It's Mikkel." " Hi, Mikkel." " Hi, Peter." "Are you okay?" "Are you okay?" "No, we're not okay, sir." "We would really like to know what is going on." "Yes, I..." "I'm..." "I'm gonna do everything I can." "Okay?" "But please let me talk to Omar." "You need to pay." "We need to get home." "You understand?" "I do understand, but... and I know it must be very hard for you." "But I will not have this conversation." "If Omar wants to talk to me, he can call himself." " Okay?" " Why don't you want to talk to me?" "Why don't you want to help us?" "You listen to me now, Mikkel." "They are using psychological pressure and I won't allow that." "I'm gonna hang up." "Bye" " No, don't hang up." "Please, sir." "What the fuck did I tell you?" "He doesn't care about you." "Now get the fuck out of here." "Get out!" " Hi, Peter." " Hi, Niels." "Look, how are the negotiations going?" "We're making progress slowly, but we'll get there." "I've been talking to the other partners." "You've been dealing with this for over two months now." "They don't want it to drag out." " Well, it won't." " Okay." "My regards to the family." "Hello, Omar." "This is Peter calling from Denmark." "How are you?" "I'm fine, sir." "And you?" "I'm fine." "Listen, I talked to my board, and I have a new offer for you." " That's nice." " Let me hear it." "$900,000." "$900,000." "Are you fucking crazy?" "You're gonna... do you understand?" "You're gonna kill everybody... your crew, me, everybody." "With that fucking kind of number, you're gonna kill everybody." " Don't you understand this?" " Please listen, Omar." "This is my offer. 900,000." "Are you... you must be nuts, man." " Hello?" "Omar?" " Omar, hello?" " He hung up, yeah?" "Day 67" "Guys." "Guys!" "You've been asking for fresh air?" "Come on." "You've got fresh air." "Let's go." "Come on, guys." "Come, captain." "Come." "Come." "All right, you go out." "You go out and get some fresh air." "Easy now, easy now." "Easy now, captain." "Fuck." " Thank you, Omar." " No problem." "Mikkel!" "Come here." "Let's fish." "Can we... can we fish?" "You know how to fish?" "He can have the small one." " There you go." "Jan!" "Yeah?" "Jan, damn it!" "Pull it up!" "Pull it up!" " Pull it up!" " Take this!" "Take it!" "Got it." "Damn, buddy." "You did it." "Come on, man." " Look!" "Bloody hell, Mikkel!" "Come here, come here, come here." " Come on." "Shut the fuck up." "You don't have a fucking clue." "It's huge." "Whoo!" "What do you say?" "Look!" "You kiss fish." "Yeah!" "Kiss fish." "Kiss the fish!" "Whoo!" "Fish!" "Fish!" "Fish!"

" It's great to hear yours too." " I love you." "I love you too." " How is Kamilla?" " She's fine, baby." "She loved the bike." "Lasse ran behind her and held her arms." "She rides without her training wheels now." "She does?" "Tell her I love her more than anything else." "I tell her every night." "Listen, look at me." " Look at me, look at me." "Focus." " You're such a good father." "You need to tell her that she needs to call your boss." "She needs to talk to your boss right now." "Otherwise, I can't stop these guys from killing you." "Mikkel?" "Tell her to talk to your boss and pay the fucking money right now, you understand?" " I'm right here, baby." " If you're not gonna fucking do it, then I'm fucking..." "I'm gonna do it." " Hello." "My name is Omar." " No no, please please." "Baby baby, listen to me." "Listen to..." "It's okay, baby." "Just listen." " Talk to her." " Just listen to me." "Okay." "We've gotta speak English." " Make her understand." " It's very very simple, okay?" " Yeah?" " Baby?" "Baby, listen." "You call the company." "You call Peter Ludvigsen and tell them..." " Yeah?" " Tell them to pay, or they are gonna kill us." "All right?" "No!" "No!" "No!" "No!" "Fucking..." "Easy." "Listen, easy." "Easy." "I can't have you showing emotions." "If you do, they've got you." "If they make threats, please just ignore them." " Let them go over your head." " Okay." " Is that okay?" " Fine." "And remember, we don't offer them more money." "It's their turn to come down." "Hello." "Hello, Omar." "This is Peter calling from Denmark." "Yes." "Hi, Peter." "How are you?" " I'm good." " Fine." "Listen, Omar, just to make it clear between you and me..." "I don't react on threats." "Okay?" "Okay, but do you have a new offer for me?" "Omar, I will not talk about the money until I have talked to the cook." "Okay?" "So please can you get him for me?" "Yes yes... he's right here." "Hello." "Mikkel, is that you?" " Yes." " How are you?" "You have to do something." "They're gonna kill me." "So please get me home now." "Please pay or else they're gonna kill me." " Mikkel..." " Yes?" "This is Omar." "Okay, Omar." "Listen up now." "Don't pull this kind of crap on me." "Okay?" "I know that you are not gonna shoot anybody, so please stop all that nonsense and let's do some serious business here, okay?" "And if we do that, Omar," "I have a new offer for you." "And if you do it right now..." "I can offer you $1.5 million U.S." "Are you crazy?" "They will start killing soon." "Please, Peter, listen!" "Pay them." "They're gonna shoot me." "I don't want to die." "Please pay." "I cannot accept this." "Okay?" "No one is gonna kill you." "Do you hear that, you bastard?" "They will kill him now, and there's nothing I can do about it." "Omar, don't you fuck with me, okay?" "No, please." "Don't you fuck with me." "Okay?" "Don't you threaten my men." "Okay?" "I will hang up." " Peter, please stop." " I can deal with this." "Don't you dare threaten my men!" "Don't fuck with me!" "Omar!" "Omar!" " Hi." " Hi." "I just talked to Mikkel..." " and he's okay." " Okay." "Hello." "Hello, Omar." "This is Peter calling from Denmark." "Do something." "They're gonna kill me." " ..." "U.S. dollars." " Are you crazy?" "They will start killing soon." "Please, Peter, listen!" "Please pay." "They're going to shoot me." "I don't want to die." "Please pay." "Good morning." "Did you sleep here?" "Let's get some light in here." "Late night yesterday?" "I had to go out anyway and thought I'd stop by." "Are you okay?" "How are the negotiations going?" "Fine." "Niels Giversen called me yesterday." "He's concerned about you." "So am I, actually." "No one can stand what you're going through." "Why must it be you at that phone every night?" "Let someone else help." "Hey." "I love you." "You know?" "I want you to leave." "I want you to leave now!" "Get out!" "Day 119" "The mobile subscriber cannot be reached." "Please try again later." "The mobile subscriber..." "Peter, this won't do." "Your job is to handle all company activities." " That requires focus." " I have focus." "How long have you dealt with this?" "Almost four months." "That's too long." "So how long do you think would be reasonable?" "We're giving you till the end of the month and then someone else will take over." "You can't do that." "Sure we can." "And we will." "Take a seat." " Good morning." " Good morning." "Welcome." "It is now 18 weeks since the Rozen was hijacked in the Indian Ocean." "Our approach so far has been not to say anything." "But the press is beginning to write about it." "They're making speculations." "Anonymous sources are even being quoted... from the company." "I sincerely hope that isn't true." "The situation is very serious." "The crew and their families are under extreme pressure." "But let me assure you we're doing our utmost... to relieve it." " What's up?" " We just received this." " Right now?" " Two minutes ago." "Just the fax." "Okay." "Come in." "Hello, gentlemen." "Sorry about the attire." "Don't worry, Connor." "Thanks for coming so fast." " Hi, Peter." " Hi, Connor." "We just arrived... we got this" " about 20 minutes ago." " Okay." "Did we receive any more faxes or any more phone calls?" "No no, that's it." "That's it." " Is that all there is?" " Yeah." "Okay." "Well, it's positive." "They've come down from 12 million down to 8.5." "That's a substantial drop." "The mobile subscriber cannot be reached." "Please try again later." " Can I send him a fax?" " Yeah." "Okay." "All right?" "Yeah." "No one said it was gonna be easy." "There you go." "Let's see what they come back with now." "Now what is this?" "Come on." " "Wait." "Omar." "Omar."" "Come on." "For fuck's sake." "Give me a break." "They are playing games." " What does that mean, "Wait"?" " Well... look at it in two different ways." "It could be, "Wait, he's having dinner," he's messing it around, or wait, they're gonna get hold of the cook for us so we can talk to him." "We just don't know." "We just have to take it from our side of it and just deal with it." "We can't rush these people." "Time is a western thing." "It means nothing to them." " Peter." " Yeah?" "Another fax." "Okay." " Proof of life." "Right?" " No." "This could be very positive." " No?" " This is proof that the fax machine works, Peter." "That's it." "It means their fax machine is working." "And on a positive side, they're still communicating with us." "I suggest you just send them a fax through... "Call me."" "Okay." "Umm, please help me here." "How much can we offer?" "Well, going on where we are at the moment, Peter," " I suggest 2.8 million." " 2.8?" "Yeah." "It's going up, but not too much." "Just a good raise." "Okay?" "What if they turn down the 2.8 million?" "Then what?" "Then we just have to carry on negotiating until we come to an agreement." "No." "Why don't we just come up with some more money?" "Okay?" "Yeah, but if you give them more money, Peter, they're gonna think they've just struck oil here." " They've got the golden egg..." " I want my men home right now, okay?" " That's it." "I want to finish this." " Okay." "What if..." "Connor, just an idea..." "we go with what you say." "We say, "This is it." "2.8 is the company maximum." "The board is ready to throw in the towel." "But Peter's willing to put his own money on top of that, his personal savings."" "This guy has to think, "if this man is so desperate that he's putting his own money in, maybe this is it."" "Maybe this is all they can get." " Make it personal" " between you and him." " It's them." " Shh!" " Risky." " Yeah." " Hi, Omar." "No, this is Jan Sarensen, chief engineer on the Rozen." "Who are you?" "Hi, Jan. This is Peter from Denmark." " Hi, Peter." " How are you?" "Not good." "Jan, the cook Mikkel, is he alive?" "He's miserable, but he's breathing." "Why?" "We're all miserable." " The chef is alive." " The situation is critical here." " I hope you understand." " We do, and we're doing our utmost to get you home." "Please put Omar on." " Are we going home soon?" " Yes, I promise." "Let me talk to Omar." "Omar, he wants to talk to you." "Yes, this is Omar." "Hi, Omar." "This is Peter." " Hi, Peter." " Hi." "Listen, I think we can close this deal now." "We have a new offer for you." "Are you ready?" "Yes." "Give it to me, please." "We can offer you $2.8 million U.S." "That's all we have." "No no no no no no no no no no." "Listen, this is a waste of time, Peter." " Why?" " I have told them that it will be a little bit less than $5 million." "But this is too low." "2.8 is just too low." " Peter." " What?" "Okay, listen..." "We've got some bad weather... there's bad weather coming up in the area." "So we have to close this deal now in the next two or three days, okay?" "Otherwise the window will close." "Do you understand?" "Yes, I do understand, but 2.8 is not enough." "I want to go home too, but I cannot tell these guys 2.8." "Do you understand?" "Yes, I do understand." "Okay, listen, Omar." "I have $500,000 U.S." "of my own private savings." "I can put them on top of the 2.8." "That makes it 3.3 million." "That's all we have." "So please... please take it." "Did I hear you right?" "Did you say $3.3 million?" "That's right. $3.3 million." "Hello?" "Omar?" "Omar?" "Yes, I hear you, Peter." "You know what?" "That's a deal." "Sorry." "We have a deal?" "Please confirm." " Omar." "Did you tell me that..." "Let's try it again, Peter." "Try it again." "Let's find out what's wrong here." " Yes!" " What?" "Yes!" "Confirmed." "Wow, fantastic." "Here it is, 3.3." "What's with the stupid smiley?" "Wow." "Day 127" "Listen up!" "I need..." "I need all of you to please come with me up to the deck." " Everybody?" " Every single body." "Hey." "Yeah, I got him." "I got him." "Mikkel, Mikkel, come on." "We're going up into the fresh air." "Come." "Come on." "Snap out of it, man." " Come." "Come." "Come on." " Let's go." "The money is now on the Rozen and secure." "The money is on the Rozen and secure." "We will do one final pass and then go home." "One final pass and then home." "Over and out." "Thank you very much for a fine job." "Catch you later." " Peter?" " Yeah." "There we are, sir." "Hopefully they'll be on their way back within 24 hours." " Yeah." "Thank you." " Yeah." "Good." "Well done." "Well done." "We're going home, buddy." "I told you so." "I told you we'd make it." "I told you we'd get back home." "Are the pirates still on board?" "Yeah." "The pirates are just getting ready to leave, sir." "I can..." "I can make them out on the front deck now." "That's good." "I'm so glad to hear that you're feeling better, captain." "Please give my regards to the men." " Okay, sir." " And call your wife and tell her that you'll be coming home soon." " Will do." " Well done, captain." " Thank you." " Looking forward to seeing you." "See you soon." "Bye." "No no." "No, don't." "Please." "Come on." "Come on." "Come on." "That's enough already." "Give it back to him?" "Come on." "Please, just give it to him." "Here." " To the boat!" " Leave." "Come on." "Now you can leave the ship." "You've got everything you need." "It's fine." "It's... just leave." "Just leave." "No no, everything's okay." "You can just go now." "You can just go." "All right." "Everything's..." "Yes, hello, this is Peter calling from Orion Seaways." "Yes, hello." "I am..." "I'm afraid I have some..." "I have some very bad news regarding your husband." "Day 134" "Dad?" "Daddy?"
