It's a girl, it's a girl, Marem.

It's a girl!

No, no, no, no. No, no, no...

No, no, no, no. No...

Eh, eh! No, no. No.

-Eh... Dudu...

No, no, no, no, no!

No, no, no, no! No, no.

-Can I help you, ma'am? -Ah?

Um...

Security one, I'm on my way.

You see?

We have changed course.

Soon we'll be in international waters.

So, please, just put it away.

I'm telling you, we were organizing an NGO for you.

That was no NGO on the radio. They were Libyans.

Look, this is us.

These are the Libyans. This is the Thalassa.

The Libyans was the company's arrangement,

but we were never going to hand you over to them.

Call the NGO. I want to listen.

-It's the company. - Don't answer.

-I have to.

They are watching our course.

They know about the disembarkment.

It will be worse if I don't answer.

Say something and I'll kill him!

Now, call the NGO.

For you, I'm disobeying government orders

but nobody needs to get hurt.

-I want to listen.

- This is Thalassa. -This is Orizzonte.

Yes, Orizzonte. Go ahead.

We are moving into international waters

to avoid the Libyans.

Copy that, Orizzonte. We follow you.

Roger that.

You can trust us.

Can I have a drink?

I can't. You know that.

Come on. Nobody's here.

There is.

Nicola!

- Unlocked.

Hannelore?

We could have triggered the alarm

or called the security.

We didn't do anything.

We only want to end this.

Let him go.

International waters are just one mile out.

Let him go.

Please!

Please.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

Be careful with that!

It's very dangerous.

-It can kill a person. -You be careful.

It's the Thalassa.

Orizzonte, here. Go ahead, Thalassa.

Yes, Orizzonte.

We have a problem with the Libyans.

They're cutting in front of us.

They are keeping us in the Libyan SAR.

It will take a little longer.

Okay. In a few minutes, we'll be in international waters.

Over.

It's only a matter of time now.

What did you say? What did you say to him?

We have to buy time with the company.

Go faster.

We are already going at a high speed.

I would have to explain why

to the engine room and to the company,

which I don't think would be smart.

Aim at him.

You say this can kill a man.

Weber. ürgen Weber, with a "W."

He's one of your restaurant managers.

A short while ago, he was on a break

at the karaoke bar, but he left.

Jürgen Weber.

Yes, he's working with the migrants,

but we don't know if he's still on his shift.

Let's see.

Here he is,

but restaurant manager, you said?

Yes, he's just been promoted.

I don't think that's...

Let's see if we can track him down.

You don't think what?

- Unlocked.

What... What are you doing here?

It didn't feel right to go with them.

Why?

Because I'm hoping that it's not true.

It is true, they told me so.

You can't let them take you back.

I know that.

Maybe, I don't know, I...

I can try to hide you in my, my cabin,

I share it with a colleague, but--

I don't want to get you in trouble. Okay?

Not to save myself alone.

So if we have to do something, we have to do it all together.

It is the only way.

Weber?

Excuse me.

This is Weber.

Your parents are at the reception.

What... what do they want?

I'm not your secretary.

They are waiting there for you.

I have to go.

Okay.

Be back soon.

Think about doing something and count me in.

Okay.

-Hello. -Hello.

Can we talk?

Not here.

-He killed himself? -Yes.

He discovered that

they were going to take us back to the Libyans.

What?

Please, Franco.

What are you doing?

Franco.

Franco, please, you have to help me.

You have to help me, I'll do whatever you want.

Whatever you want, Franco, please.

-Franco. Please. -No, no, no. No, get up. Get up!

-Franco, please! -Get up! Get up! Get up!

"He is not a manager."

There was a man.

A French guy coming from Paris once every two, three months.

He would buy me clothes,

take photos of me.

And when he would come back,

he would bring the magazines where they were published.

He said that in France I was becoming some sort of star.

He said that he would bring me to Paris.

He was my boyfriend.

He disappeared the day we were supposed to leave.

He didn't show up anymore.

That day, I decided I was going to leave anyway.

Took me three years to get here.

Three years.

Do you know what they do to a girl like me on the journey?

They buy you and they sell you.

And to be free, you have to buy your freedom back.

It takes months.

No!

I wanted to cut my face, to become a monster,

so nobody would want me anymore.

Franco...

Please, don't let them take me back.

What are you doing here? You can't be here.

-No, wait! The girl says-- -No, no.

Please leave this area immediately.

The girl says, "You are taking them back to Libya."

I don't know what you're talking about.

Look, if you don't leave this area,

I will inform the captain.

I'll go the captain myself.

It can't be true.

You, back to your cabin.

- They're firing.

Close to the ship.

They want us to stop.

No, no, no, no, no, don't do that.

Stay down! Stay down!

Move the back way, then South.

Now, put them in position! Now!

And now, what do we do, Captain?

- Shit! Shit!

Let's wait.

-It's not clear if... - Put that down.

-We wait. - Don't provoke them!

Easy! Easy now. Okay. Okay.

We are unarmed, we have no weapons.

Stay calm, everybody.

Stay down, stay down! Stay down!

Orizzonte?

Orizzonte, this is Thalassa.

They are on board.

We can't do anything anymore.

I have to end this call.

Good luck. Over and out.

Copy that, Thalassa. Out.

We better get out of here.

You have to tell the company we won't disembark anyone.

None of the conditions for safe operation are in place.

Let's talk. You and I.

Watch them.

- Deck 5.

Uh-huh.

Boss?

-Speak. - Three are missing.

It's okay. They are here.

Here?

On the bridge.

They are representing the others.

We are negotiating a landing.

An orderly one.

Okay, but the baby's missing too.

What? The baby?

The mother won't talk.

She must have hidden her or given her to someone.

Forget her for now.

What's important is that they don't get frightened even more.

Over and out.

Want to fill me in?

I made him an offer.

What kind of offer?

They surrender.

We keep them with us

and give the others to the Libyans.

But that's just revolting.

You understand what's happening or not?

There are 5,000 people on this ship.

This thing has to end and end quickly.

You must tell the company we will not deliver anyone.

-That's how it will end. -They just shot at an NGO ship.

Do you realize what we got involved in?

You and your fucking Thalassa idea!

Get back into your cabins, please.

Back into your cabins.

That stupid bitch said, "Don't do anything."

Ah, here's Weber.

He's saying you brought a passenger down here.

Who was it?

Why?

Because there's a baby missing and somebody took it.

I don't know.

But she was authorized by the captain.

And you don't know who it was?

Come on, it's just a baby.

What do you care?

At least for her, we could turn a blind eye.

Mind your own fucking business, Weber. Okay?

Just mind your own fucking business.

But why isn't it possible?

Because the captain is not at disposal of cruise passengers.

Do you know what time it is?

Put that in writing for me.

Put what in writing?

That the captain isn't available.

If you like, I'll take your name

and pass along your request tomorrow morning.

No, tomorrow morning is too late,

if they disembark them tonight!

I don't know what you're talking about.

- Yes? -Good evening, sir.

We're with security.

What's going on?

We understand your wife has been in the migrant zone.

Yeah. Why?

Because a small child has gone missing.

So I wouldn't want to have to...

Look, you do realize that this is a very serious situation

with very serious consequences?

Wait a moment.

I'm a Marshal of Carabinieri.

If you want, I can help you to search.

No, thank you.

Sorry for your trouble.

It's nothing, colleague.

And who's to say that once we surrender

they don't trick us somehow?

We keep some of them to the end.

I cannot betray my brother.

You won't betray him.

By giving yourself a chance, you'll give it to him too.

He would do the same.

He would save himself to go to Europe.

From there you can help him.

But he, he didn't even try.

And what about the others? This will betray everyone!

Listen, what other alternative do we have?

How long can we control the situation?

The longer it goes, the worse it is.

And the more we risk.

Are you all right?

Yes.

You're only making things worse.

Worse for whom?

For us or for them?

He's lowered the flare.

Even if we don't do anything, they will deport them anyway.

-Have to try to save everyone. -We can't save everyone!

-Don't yell at me! -If it was not for me,

you'd be already in the hands of the Libyans.

I won't abandon my brother!

No, don't!

Mm-hmm.

So?

-Any more news? -No.

Tell me the truth, please.

'Cause I can see you in your face.

It's not about that. There are no news.

But now there are three security guards outside.

Three?

Okay, um...

The only thing that we can do

is to make it difficult for them.

As difficult as possible.

So I need you. But I don't want you to--

I don't care what happens to me. It doesn't matter.

They can't give you to the Libyans.

He needs a doctor.

Nobody comes in.

He's sick. Can't you see?

I told you, nobody comes in here.

I feel better.

It's over.

-But you don't know what it was. -I know what it was.

I'm fine.

Captain, the Libyans are approaching.

Maybe it's time to turn the radio back on.

Don't turn on anything! Get us out of here!

What are you saying?

In English! You must speak English!

It's okay. It's okay.

The captain is incapacitated. I'm taking command.

Mr. Mate, we're heading for Maltese waters.

Change course to 0-1-0, reduce speed to 12 knots.

Changing course to 0-1-0,

reducing speed to 12 knots.

No noise.

We stand here.

Keep a constant eye,

everything that goes out, everything that comes in.

I want notice if you see anything...

I'll do sweep, you take the upper.

We're going to the lounge.

And then we'll change over.

Report back to me. Channel 2 or channel 3.

- Unlocked.

All right, that's fine.

-Do you understand? -Yes, but--

Then, no "buts."

Do just as I say and do it immediately.

Get started.

Come on!

-Hello? - Elvis!

Hello. What are we doing awake at this time?

I had a nightmare, and I woke up.

- Oh, and what-- -It doesn't matter.

Elvis, on Facebook, they're saying

they want to take you back to Libya.

Facebook?

And what does know about what's going on here?

Listen, never mind!

They're saying it, so run away, hide, do something!

Yes, they already told me that.

So, what are you waiting for?

Mary, do you think God would bring me this far

and drag me back there?

I don't think so.

Elvis, just leave God out of it. He doesn't care.

That's not a nice thing to say.

Maybe, but I wouldn't rely on him.

Otherwise, we'd be living in a better world.

Maybe if he didn't exist, it would be worse.

And he never abandoned me.

Quite the opposite.

Elvis, please, listen to me. Do something.

I'll talk to him.

-To who? - To God.

He will tell me if I have to do something.

-Elvis! -Mary.

It's nice that you worried about me,

but I have to go now.

Because if I'm talking to you, I can't talk to him.

See you tomorrow morning

at the restaurant, for breakfast.

- Unlocked.

Done.

Everyone's been warned.

Maybe it won't be enough.

But as you say, it won't be easy now.

Yeah. Thank you.

For what?

I've never felt so useful in my life.

Now you have to go.

Actually, I was thinking that, um,

my shift finished a while ago.

Can you help me?

What are you doing?

Just what I told everyone else to do.

Yeah, but if they find you here...

The worst thing that can happen to me

is that I'll have to look for another job.

Earlier today, my father just told me that I don't have balls.

It's an awful way to say I'm not brave.

-Are you gonna help me or not? -Please.

Leave.

No.

This is not brave.

It's plain stupid.

I'm here because I do not have a choice.

But you do.

Come.

You helped me a lot.

And you were brave.

But you must go now.

- What the hell?

- Unlocked.

- Open up! - Unlocked.

-What are you doing? Open up.

-Security. - Unlocked.

- Unlocked.

I repeat, there are no conditions

to safely disembark the migrants.

We risk human lives.

It's no longer up to the company.

We have government orders and you must abide by them.

Do you hear me, Schneider?

I do.

I repeat, one of the migrants has already taken his own life.

Certainly, there will be other extreme acts.

We are in open sea

and Libya is not considered a safe port.

Please inform the authorities that we will proceed to Malta.

Schneider, you are violating government orders.

There will be consequences.

I'm aware of that.

But since I'm the acting captain now,

I believe this is my duty.

Now, let's talk.

Let him go and stop pointing that thing at us.

How long do you think we can go on like this?

Without anyone out there knowing what's happening in here

and ringing the alarm?

Because at that point, you know what happens?

Within a few hours, the Navy swoops in here

and they won't go easy on you.

They have special units,

people trained to solve situations far more dangerous

than facing three guys armed with a bread knife and a flare.

And if you don't surrender, they come in here,

they shoot you, they kill you, and maybe some of us.

So you really have just one choice.

Go back to your cabins now

and thank God that no one got hurt.

Boss, we have a problem with the migrants.

Boss?

What problem, Carl?

They've barricaded themselves in their cabins.

Don't do anything. I'll come down.

Roger that.

You didn't go through hell to get yourself killed

so close to Europe, did you?

One of you has to come with me

to reassure the others that they are safe.

No one will be disembarked.

Mmm.

It's me. Ousmane.

No one will be disembarked.

I repeat, no one will be disembarked.

We're going to Malta and then Sicily, in Italy.

I was there and I heard the trooper orders.

We won't be disembarked.

Sleep tight, my brothers and sisters.

Your brother Ousmane tells you so!

-The man who saw and heard.

The man with the taxi brings salvation.

The old one and the sick one, we could let them go.

Nobody leaves, we need to be sure.

I trust the woman.

I trust nobody.
