Original subtitles

Weber, where the fuck are you?

Reporting, sir.

We need to arrange a crew

for cleaning and disinfection immediately.

But why?

Because we have a group coming aboard

in Malta who'll be taking those cabins.

Excuse me, but what about the refugees?

The Libyans will pick them up in three hours,

give or take a few minutes,

which means we have four hours to prep the cabins.

Yes, I see you.

We will make a course correction and slow down to 12 knots.

Copy that.

From now on, we avoid radio communication.

Strictly satellite.

Copy that.

- Over and out.

Slow down to 12 knots.

Slow down to 12 knots.

What the hell?

Instead, we pass through deck 5,

which brings us out to hatch number 2.

At which point... What are you doing?

- Documenting. - What the fuck for?

What's the problem?

- We are following orders, no? - Schneider, please!

Who are you?

It doesn't matter, give me that.

Of course, it matters. Who are you?

Why do you have a Libyan phone?

And why do you have so much cash?

Stolen.

All stolen from a trafficker.

-Let me see. -What?

What do you want to see?

I don't believe you. Who are you?

Do you know what this means?

-We've entered Libyan waters.

- Unlocked.

Are you finished?

Where's this ship going?

We were headed to Malta, why are we in Libyan waters?

I don't know.

Tell me where the ship is going.

Get off me!

They are taking us back.

- Unlocked.

-Good evening. - Hey.

Wait, uh, we have not eaten everything yet.

It was too much for our belly.

Yeah. Uh, maybe we'll finish later.

Is it possible? 'Cause...

Of course.

All right. Huh...

Thank you.

You're welcome. Bye.

- Thank you. -Would you like anything else?

Great. Thank you.

To be honest, we don't entirely agree with his choice.

I mean, everyone wants his child

to be something better than a waiter,

and he had every opportunity.

We are from... from the east, from East Germany, from the GDR.

And after the downfall of our country,

I had to start again from scratch.

But they promoted him in such a short time

and entrusted him with the care of the migrants.

It's a serious responsibility.

It means he's, um... He's competent.

Plus, he likes it.

I agree.

How many kids do we see at universities

hanging out, doing nothing?

A lot.

Hey, who's up for karaoke?

Hmm.

Hannelore, your... your boy can help me go

to see the, the mother, uh, with the baby?

I don't know.

Perhaps we might ask him?

Uh, now?

And we go to see the baby.

So, anybody?

We could.

No.

Once we became aware of the environmental impact,

we tackled the issue.

If it were a question of ethics, that was that.

Exactly right.

We have done the same here.

Bear in mind that we have reduced emission

by over 30 percent.

Even from this point of view,

this ship is absolutely cutting-edge.

I'd love to show you around.

The bridge, the engines,

whatever you want.

With pleasure. We always do that.

We are boring you.

That is beautiful.

Does it represent something?

Mary?

It's the line of the people who want to tour the ship.

The bridge, the engines.

Yes.

We've been on four cruises

with your predecessor, Captain Morello.

We did a couple as well.

-Such a charming man!

For you, it's... it's the first time, isn't it?

Yes, on a cruise ship.

Before, it was all boxes.

-Containers!

You must be absolutely thrilled.

-I'm what? -You must be thrilled.

I beg your pardon, for a moment.

It's my Staff Captain.

-Trouble? -No, no, no, definitely not.

Then again, just in case.

I say we wait till the passengers

have been disembarked

to avoid unpleasant situations in case any of them resist.

I'm so very sorry.

I must abandon your delightful company.

Trouble.

No, no, no. Just bureaucracy.

The migrants.

Ah, the migrants.

- Yeah. -Poor souls.

I'm sorry again.

And as always,

thank you very much for choosing our cruises.

Open it.

- Unlocked.

What the hell are you doing?

Since you only care about what affects you personally,

why you don't consider this?

Just imagine,

what if this gets posted on every website

and every social network?

I have been given an order by the government.

I'm not the one sending them back.

We have an obligation as human beings

to other human beings.

Give me the command, I'll take responsibility.

That is what you really want. To be in command.

Yes, that's right.

So I can do the things you don't have the guts to.

Bullshit.

Do what you want with the video.

I have to follow orders.

Arrigo, a real captain is the one

who is giving the orders, not following them.

We have to get out of here.

Where can we go?

I don't know. We'll hide somewhere.

It's useless.

They'll find us, just like they found you.

What do you wanna do?

Just sit and wait till they drag you back?

No, but...

Maybe it's not, maybe you're wrong.

They can't do it.

Can't you read?

"Libya Mobile."

It never switched carriers.

We're in Libyan waters.

Look! Open your eyes!

Open your eyes, wake up!

We're sailing towards Libya.

Do you understand?

Tell her to pay!

-Do you hear him?

Do you hear him?

Do you understand?

It's you.

You did this to me.

It's you!

Listen!

-Listen to me!

You don't know who I am.

Have you ever lost a child?

I fought for the revolution.

We hoped for freedom, after the fall of Gaddafi.

But things got worse, and then came the Civil War.

A blow from the artillery.

My wife and my two kids.

I was looking for their body parts for days.

You go insane.

You can't feel anything.

If you want to survive, you can't ever feel a thing.

You feel no pain.

Not yours, not anyone else.

- Until it's too much.

Get dressed.

Do you think this redeems you?

That it erases all you've done?

In my country, there was also a war,

also hunger, and a dictator.

But I never hurt anybody.

You could have done something else.

This is Libya today.

Either oil or people like you.

You're a monster!

And a murderer.

Yes, I am a monster.

And a murderer.

But I am also your only hope to get out of here.

Because back there,

everything will start over again exactly the same.

Just like in Tunisia, in small groups.

It's a bit more complicated

because we'll have to disembark them one by one.

It's way more complicated.

What do you think they'll do when they see the Libyans?

We'll have to inform them that we're handing them over

to the Italian coastguard. Or the Maltese.

And the Libyans will have to take off

all of their insignia,

otherwise, it will just be too unmanageable.

What exactly do you want us to do?

Spread the news.

The shipwreck, the rescue, and that they want us to give

the migrants back to the Libyans.

Understood. What is the name of the ship?

The company is Sunny Cruise, the ship is the Orizzonte,

traveling on the Mediterranean.

Right now, we are traveling into the Libyan SAR zone

instead of heading to Malta as planned.

And you are?

My name doesn't matter, nor the commander's.

What matters is that the news spreads

that there's pressure on the company,

on the governments. And we don't have much time.

Do you think we can do it?

I can take it to her.

I want to do. Please.

No, they'd, they'd like to avoid any contact with the passengers.

Instructions from above.

But if she goes with you, it's for the child.

All right, then. Um, just follow me, please.

Okay, thank you.

Thank you.

There will be three of us in one hour.

We are topping up the security

unless you want us to do that now.

That's fine.

-I'm sorry, you can't be here. - I know, but...

I just want to give this.

It's for the baby.

What's the cabin number?

-545. -Here it is.

Fuck!

There's always someone there.

Hey! Are you listening?

Hey! What are you doing?

-Get off me! Get off me! -Listen!

Hey, listen, if you report me, I'm finished.

But so are you.

I don't need you to get out of here.

You're the one who needs me.

Hey, think about your family.

Don't you want to see them again?

You like it?

She likes it.

Hmm...

- Change.

Change.

Thank you.

But, um...

Uh, that thing you... Um...

Thank you.

And, um... Uh...

Uh, cream, cream.

No. No cream.

-No cream. -Mm.

-She likes me. -Hmm.

Hmm, I would have preferred Ronaldo.

Just joking! Thank you, it's beautiful!

I'm glad you like it.

I wish I could give you something too,

but I have nothing.

Seeing you're happy is my present.

Wait!

Ousmane, The Laws of the Journey!

Oh, I don't have it anymore.

I do.

The Laws of the Journey.

I used to give a copy to each person I brought.

They are good rules to survive the journey.

A present.

You are a traveler.

And we don't need them anymore.

Just one thing in return.

I've met a girl here,

a strange girl with a scarf on her head.

-She looks arrogant, but... -It's Mary?

-Yes.

I think she likes me.

Can you give me the number of her cabin?

Hey!

I need help!

My friend! He's dead.

In the bathroom.

Oh, shit, get him out.

He told me you are taking us back to Libya.

Then he went to the bathroom.

-Carl? - Yes, Captain?

Report to the migrants' quarters and call the doctor.

Roger that.

Who told him about Libya?

I don't know.

It's not true!

We will link to the Italian coastguard

and entrust you to them.

Get everyone back to their cabins.

This cabin is off-limits.

- Come on. -Get back to your cabins, now.

No, what happened?

Quickly. Move!

Move!

-Come on.

-Move! Get in there. -Get back to your cabins. Move.

Get in the cabins!

-What did I say? Move! -I said move!

Move! Get in the cabin. Move, now.

What happened?

I have no idea.

Ibrahim, the Eritrean guy, killed himself.

He found out that they're taking us back to Libya.

- Unlocked.

It's true.

What, what happened?

Do you really love her?

Yes!

You will buy her clothes?

Sing her songs when she cries?

What do you say?

Save her.

- What? -Please!

They're taking us back to Libya, but she's not coming.

Not her.

What, what can I do?

Take her. Hide her.

Keep her with you.

-With me? - Yes.

Please.

Please!

- Thank you.

-Thank you, thank you. - Bravo!

-Bravo! -One more!

Please, just one more!

One more. Just one.

Hello?

Good evening, this is Kylian Mbappé.

Sorry, who?

Kylian Mbappé.

I'm afraid you've got the wrong number. Goodbye.

Mary, it's me. It's Elvis!

Elvis?

It's me!

Why do you use such a ridiculous name?

You don't know who Kylian Mbappé is?

No.

Then maybe we should never speak to each other again.

As you like.

You never take a joke.

I don't get your jokes.

Then I stay serious.

What are your plans tomorrow?

"At 8:00 a.m., we have the Sun Salutation,

followed by power yoga,

then there's the volleyball tournament in the pool,

then there's the trip to Malta."

Ah, so you're always busy.

-Elvis? - Yes?

Do I look like the type?

What type?

That does all that kind of stuff.

Okay, we don't understand each other.

Let's agree every single thing we say from now on is true.

-Okay. - Um...

I'd like to do something together.

Would you?

The Laws of the Journey.

Brothers and sisters, always take them with you.

These will be useful for you

to carry with you on your journey.

You must be ready for anything, even the most terrible things.

The first rule is,

do not let yourself be trapped and confused

by the whys in desperate situations.

Like, why me?

Why this injustice?

Second, you must have the strength to decide,

the ability to make a choice, and then follow it through.

Third, you must have the strength

to not be indecisive about the choices you make,

have resolution and willpower.

And the fourth and most important rule is,

you must be brave.

And lucky.

Weber, please.

The cruise passengers cannot know about this.

Why say that to me, sir?

Aren't your parents on board?

If you tell them, one word and the news is out.

This needs to be sealed off now.

The police will come on board.

We can no longer assign this wing

to those who will board in Malta.

I'm sure everything is fine.

Just keep trying.

I know, I've already called six times. I can count.

I'm sorry, sir. I cannot help you.

Elvis?

Yes, Mary, it's me. It's Elvis.

I've tried to call you back a bunch of times, but...

Me too. Now I know why.

Why?

What do you mean, why? Because you were calling me.

By the way,

I couldn't hear you anymore at the...

crucial moment.

Look, before the line possibly drops,

I'll see you at the breakfast restaurant.

I'll be there around 10:00.

Okay.

But, wait, can you even go there?

Sure. I'll speak to the captain.

He grants me every wish.

Like my Mbappé shirt.

Who?

Come on.

-You see?

People actually understand my jokes.

Bye.

Bye.

- Unlocked.

- Deck 8.

- Unlocked.

Shh! Shh!

- Unlocked.

Somebody told some journalist about the migrants.

Do you know who?

The company has been flooded with social media protests.

They are responsible too.

Now, at least, some shit will stick to them.

The CEO just screamed at me.

You could have told him it was me.

But in the end, I'm responsible.

One of the migrants killed himself.

Who?

Ibrahim...

Ibrahim Mulugheta, the Eritrean.

You were unfair, disloyal. And have complicated everything.

-Look, I-- -I'm not finished!

You were unfair, disloyal.

But you were right.

We can't give them to the Libyans.

Tareq is right.

We have to do something.

They can't take us back like this.

Yes, but how did Ibrahim know

that they're taking us back to Libya?

He heard it from the security guys.

Okay, so we cannot be sure about it.

I'm telling you, this ship is not going to Malta.

There, the ship is gone from the map.

Why would they do that?

- Unlocked.

A Libyan patrol boat is coming to pick you up.

Soon, I think.

A map of the ship.

This is deck 4.

At the end of the corridor,

there's a door, all the interior passages.

This one goes to the engine room.

The locked doors need a code, which I wrote down here.

It's the master code. It'll open them all.

I can distract the guard

for maybe 5 to 10 minutes at most.

Good luck.

The violence you suffer is like poison.

It gets inside you and you start to see violence as a solution.

So you believe that

the violence you suffer will absolve you

if you then commit it back.

And me and my brother,

we've seen a lot of it in our country.

We suffered a lot in our journey.

And if we did manage to survive it all

is because we were always together.

Me and him.

We've never been separated.

That night on the ship was the very first time.

Daniel, we have not come this far to be sent back.

The best that could happen

is to be left at the edge of the desert

and at best, we may then somehow manage to get back home.

Then I'd have to look at my children, my wife,

and tell them I did not make it.

I'm their only hope.

You'll get yourself killed.

Perhaps.

Or maybe someday, I will buy you an airplane ticket

to come join me in Europe.

All clear.

We have to go.

You be safe, okay?

Please, don't.

-Please, don't, please. -Shh.

We have to meet the Thalassa

outside the Libyan SAR zone.

Once we're outside Libyan waters,

from a legal point of view,

we violate fewer laws.

Then this position should work.

Both ships should get there around the same time.

I'll chart our course, you warn the Thalassa.

It might be a useless precaution but make the call outside.

Officer, I'm giving you a new course.

0-5-0.

- 0-5-0.

- Captain? - What is it?

Stay calm.

Please, stay calm.

Where are you taking us?

We're meeting with an NGO ship

and they will take you to safety.

No, we've been in Libyan waters for hours.

We've been told there's a patrol boat picking us up.

No, it's not like that. We are--

Orizzonte, Orizzonte, Orizzonte,

- this is Libyan coastguard. -Turn that off.

We've followed all instructions.

Turn that off, or I'll kill him.

-Okay. - Please, approach from star--

Now, turn your engines up to full power

and head to international waters.

We're setting a meeting point with the--

Officer, speed 24 knots.

Speed 24 knots.
