Original subtitles

- What's happening? - I don't know.

Let's hope it didn't break down.

It didn't break down. They stopped us.

Who?

Some sort of security detail.

For who?

Could be Saudi, Russians, Europeans. Americans.

I can't say for sure.

What were they doing in the middle of the desert?

They were hunters,

headed to Termit Mountains to hunt addax,

antelopes that only live there.

They brought everything with them.

They brought refrigerators, they brought tent,

they brought toilet. Everything.

They give them a hunting permit,

even though those are endangered species.

Ridiculous!

It's a very poor country,

so they have to sell what they have.

You know, depending on where you are born,

you have different priorities.

What's wrong?

I'm thinking of where I ran away from.

You ran away?

Yes.

Here.

From what?

My parents.

Ah...

Especially my father.

I ran away from their... from their expectations.

From what they wanted me to be.

And now that they came here, this is now my desert.

And even if there is no comparison,

it takes courage to go through this too.

I'm happy they're no longer disembarking you.

See you later.

What are you most afraid of?

Well, whatever it is,

think of the absolutely worst that can happen in your life.

And ask yourself

if that is worse than what you're living now.

Okay?

'Cause that is why people cross deserts.

Thank you.

Okay.

Make the migrants clean up their mess.

Fields.

I'm in the migrants' quarters.

Yes, everything's fine here now. Why?

An alarm?

I didn't get a notification.

- Unlocked.

We have a situation.

Our brothers and sisters were screaming with joy.

Did you tell my brother?

I shouted it out to everyone.

Now, please return to your cabins.

Are you going to disembark us in Italy or Malta?

We don't know yet.

We don't leave until we find out what's happening.

The sooner you stop, the better.

It's already a miracle the flare didn't hit anyone.

He's right.

It's the company.

I want to listen.

Orizzonte, here.

Orizzonte, we are still waiting

for Malta's authorization to dock.

You have to lower the cruising speed

to 4 kilometers per hour.

I repeat, take speed down to 4 kilometers per hour.

Please confirm.

Confirm.

We're waiting for authorization.

What does it mean?

It doesn't mean anything. It's very normal.

We were supposed to arrive yesterday evening.

I imagine our spot at the dock was taken.

Now we have to wait for it to open up again.

Slow down to four.

May I?

Slowing down to four.

Fucking bastards!

The other one.

You know, it's only the door.

Then they're in the blind spot.

Fucking bastards!

I'm surrounded by idiots.

Yeah?

Hi, I, I am Marem.

Is Miracle good?

Uh, yeah. Yes.

They will not disembark us.

They'll bring us to Europe.

I want my baby back.

Yes.

Will you bring her back?

Yes, of course.

Thank you.

They are bringing her back.

They are bringing her back.

Confirmed.

There are three migrants in the control room.

Are they armed?

Looks like they've got a flare and some sort of knife.

Copy. Stand by.

I don't think it would be too hard to take them out.

No. Stand down. Do not take initiative on your own.

- Wait for direct orders. - Copy that.

Shitheads.

Hey.

Hey!

- You have to stay awake.

Give me that.

Hey! What are you speaking?

The company knows about the hijacking.

- Who told them? - Nobody.

We were monitored from land.

They just understood what happened.

So what happens now?

I think they've alerted the authorities.

That's why you have to surrender immediately.

They don't want us to do nothing.

They want us to wait for the Navy.

I mean, that could take hours.

They don't think that we can handle

three beggars with a flare gun.

Well, I'm not waiting for anybody.

Eh?

- Unlocked.

Let's give ourselves a chance...

You heard what she said, if we give up now...

Do you think if we give up now, they will forget?

They will welcome you?

They will arrest you! And they will send you back!

You think they'll understand? You think they will forgive?

These are the same people who pray their leaders

to send us back, to arrest us,

to put us in jail, to torture us.

- How do you know that? - I just know.

And they know about the jail and the torture.

But they look away.

The only thing they care about

is that we are going to stay away from their home.

That's the only thing they care about.

For us to stay away from their home.

So what do you want to do?

We have to make an announcement.

The cruise passengers expected to be in Malta by now

and we don't know when we will get there.

An announcement?

To say what?

That we have some technical problem.

There are over 3,000 passengers.

Do you have any idea of what might happen

if someone finds out

there are armed people on the bridge?

Make the announcement.

Attention, please.

Ladies and gentlemen.

This is the hotel director speaking.

We hereby inform our passengers

that due to heavy traffic in the port of La Valletta,

our arrival in Malta has been delayed

To apologize for the inconvenience,

we are happy to offer you, as a gift,

one of our exclusive services on board for free.

Furthermore, sodas and alcoholic drinks

will be completely free of charge.

For information and reservations,

- please contact reception. - Please contact reception!

Calling from cabin 817.

I wanted to reserve a free spa treat...

Please call back, sir.

We're completely overwhelmed at the moment.

Oh, I understand.

Well, please write down my number

and know that I rang once

because I bet you'll receive plenty of calls.

- I will certainly do so. - Thank you.

Yes?

Mr. Esposito?

Yeah?

Carl Fields, head of security.

We met last night.

Um, the colleague?

What's happening?

Would you mind if we met

just for a couple of minutes?

Did, did something happen?

No, no, everything's fine.

I just had some free time

and thought you might appreciate a coffee between colleagues.

Sure, sure.

At the outdoor bar, deck 7

in, say, 10 minutes?

Nice. See you there.

Miracle?

Oh, Miracle.

Oh, Miracle...

Diletta? You're sick?

No... I...

I'm okay.

Just...

Just my head.

Come.

He was 50 and already had two wives.

I... I just wanted to stay with my mother and my brothers.

The other wives were unhappy with me

and beat me all the time.

So I ran away.

Three times.

And my father brought me back each time.

The fourth time I succeeded.

And I got on a bus never to return.

Your...

your father know he...

he beat you and take you back to that, that man?

They couldn't give him back the money.

They are fishermen,

and the sea gives us almost nothing,

because the big ships coming from far away

take all the fish, all of it,

and then nothing is left for those who live from fishing.

Her?

She came during the journey.

I don't know who her father is.

She's a beautiful thing born from a horrible thing.

Thank you, Diletta, for what you did.

You know, Miracle is magical.

She will bring you good luck.

Everything happens here.

You know, when you spend months on end

in a kitchen or in an engine room,

you can go crazy.

Sure, Iraq was a completely different experience,

professionally, the money was much better.

- But then I had a baby. - Me too.

I had more fun and made more in Afghanistan, but...

Then I decided to try to have a baby.

Yeah, I hear you.

People don't do our job just to sit in some office.

I'm a motorcycle cop.

Always on the street.

You never know what'll happen to you,

but I like it that way.

It's good to meet you, man.

I just wanted to know

if he was someone I could count on.

I also thought with him being a policeman,

with his help, we might be able to do something.

Even if the company had ordered us to wait.

Look, at the time, I didn't know he had a gun!

What are you waiting for?

Why can't we see Malta?

We will never get to Malta, don't you understand?

They won't even let us get close.

Tareq? Look!

I told you they are coming.

It's time to find a solution.

How do you think you can?

It's just three of you with one flare.

You said it yourself.

There's 5,000 people on this ship.

What will happen if one of us makes an announcement?

Put me in touch with the company.

It's a helicopter.

You never saw one before?

Elvis, do you really think I've never seen a helicopter?

I don't know.

The way you looked at it, it seemed like the first time.

Obviously not. It's an instinct.

When you hear something flying over your head, you look up.

When I hear noise above my head...

- I duck. - Got it.

Can you give me your sunglasses?

Nope. I've hardly slept, thanks to you.

And now I've got eyes that look like a boxer's.

And anyway, why do you need them?

- My eyes are delicate. - Mine too.

- Are you doing it on purpose? - What?

That thing with your eyes to make me feel guilty.

- What does it mean? - What?

- To feel guilty? - Yeah.

Um, it's when someone feels bad

for something he's done to someone else.

I feel guilty all the time.

Half of me's guilty and the other half's angry.

It's hell.

And all because I asked for sunglasses?

No.

Are you sure?

Thanks, Mary. You are very kind.

And it's not true you look like a boxer.

Your eyes are beautiful.

They look horrible on you.

Let's order something.

We would like to order, please.

Elvis, do you...

I'm sorry, but he can't stay here.

Why?

Well, because he's one of them, and this is an exclusive area.

He's my guest.

Cabin 1521.

Platinum.

I understand.

I'll send someone over to take your order right away.

Why do they always behave like that here?

At first, they always tell you no.

"You cannot go out,

you cannot enter here, you cannot stay there."

And then, in the end, they let you do everything.

I'm not so sure.

- Let's go. - Where?

Away.

Thank you very much.

Thank you, bye.

Don't fool yourselves.

There is no way we can convince

the Italian government to negotiate with terrorists.

We are not terrorists.

We don't want to hurt anyone.

We wouldn't be here

if you didn't try to give us back to the Libyans.

We are only defending ourselves.

We were just following government orders.

The best way to prove that you have no bad intentions

is to give up and leave the bridge.

We won't leave.

We need a guarantee that you will welcome us all

and nothing will happen to us.

You will have all the guarantees dictated by law.

But I repeat, it's essential

that you leave the bridge immediately.

So you still don't understand.

Go to the others.

I'm holding the microphone for public announcement.

Give me a guarantee that you will take us all,

or we'll start a panic on board.

Did you hear me?

I heard you.

Do not do this.

We understand the motives that led you to this,

but now it's crucial you don't make the situation any worse.

Then get us out of here.

In 30 minutes, it's 11:15,

everyone will hear my voice

and it won't be to tell them they're having free drinks.

So? What do you say?

Not bad, huh?

What?

Elvis?

Elvis?

What's wrong, Elvis?

Nothing.

Please, Elvis. I can't see people cry.

I don't know how to console them.

I'm okay.

What's up?

I thought about my mom.

I wish she could see me now,

where I am.

Me. Elvis, the albino.

You can't say that.

You say, "person with albinism".

Sorry, don't worry about it.

This ship, this room,

all the good things, Mbappé shirt, you...

my mom would be so happy.

It's not easy having a son like me.

It's not easy for my parents either.

- Mary, can I hug you? - No!

Yes.

No!

Yes...

I said yes.

Hmm?

Why don't they call back? They do nothing.

Do they think I'm not serious?

I don't know what they think, but it's you who has to think.

You've got everything to lose.

Everything meaning what?

Nobody makes the journey

if they've got something to lose.

For those who departed with us,

it's better risk death than keep living the life they had.

You don't understand that.

You will never understand that.

You're right. Maybe we don't understand.

But tell me, for who are you doing this?

For your brothers or only for yourself?

They now have the chance of being admitted.

Only one barrier stands between them and salvation.

And that barrier is you.

Well, then something's got to be done now.

You need to stand down.

If he makes that announcement,

all hell breaks loose,

you do realize what could happen?

You have a direct order, stand down and wait.

- Wait? Wait for what? -Precise instructions from...

Look, there's a helicopter flying above us,

and that is it. Nothing is happening

and they're still there.

Look, there is this Italian carabiniere on board.

He'd be considered an officer of the authorities, wouldn't he?

But can't you even tell us

if we get there in one hour, two, five?

I'm very sorry.

We will immediately announce it

as soon as we have precise information.

We want to disembark in Malta. We gotta go back to Italy.

We gotta find a flight,

so when do you think we'll know something?

You're all asking me the same things.

Regrettably, we don't have an answer,

so enjoy the free services.

Don't you dare tell me you can't give me any information.

We've got a right to know and it's your duty to explain.

We paid for a program here,

and it's clear this is about the migrants.

Now we're okay with what's going on,

but we can't be the ones who are losing out.

And one, two, three, four, one...

Okay!

Go to the right! Come on!

And one, two, three...

To the side!

And one, two, three, four, hop!

Hop! Hop! Hop!

Let's go!

- Thank you.

- Unlocked.

Your breakfast, sir.

Why is my brother not back?

I don't know.

Can you please try to find out?

Yes, of course.

Thank you.

I did what you told me.

I thought about the worst thing that could happen

and wondered if that's worse than what I'm living now.

And the answer is no.

Nothing's worse than pretending, denying, and hiding what we are.

It poisons everything.

I like men.

And I like you.

I know.

I must go.

See?

I crossed a piece of the desert.

Now, I'll do the rest.

Bye.

Hello?

Franco?

- Unlocked.

Deck 8.

- Hey, colleague. - Hey.

Just the man I wanted to see.

- Me? - Yes, we should talk.

Just not here.

Orizzonte here. Staff Captain speaking.

Furing Frigate, Italian Navy.

I'll pass you over to Captain Longo.

This is Captain Longo.

Good morning, Captain.

Morning.

Are the hijackers still listening?

Yes, they're listening to you.

Well.

Gentlemen, we are just a few miles from you.

We are here to resolve the situation.

Do you understand me?

Yes.

We can fix this.

But to do that, we need to be sure

what's happening doesn't go public.

Do I make myself clear?

Not really.

We can find a way to do this

without negative consequences for anybody.

But one thing is certain,

this will not be possible if you announce the hijacking.

Do you understand me now?

I understand. Let's talk.

- Unlocked.
