the pirates of somalia

1
00:00:06,630 --> 00:00:09,799
- There's a time when the
operation of the machine

2
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:12,039
becomes so odious,

3
00:00:12,040 --> 00:00:15,509
makes you so sick at heart
that you can't take part.

4
00:00:15,510 --> 00:00:17,809
You can't even
passively take part,

5
00:00:17,810 --> 00:00:20,309
and you've got to put
your bodies upon the gears

6
00:00:20,310 --> 00:00:22,710
and upon the wheels,
upon the levers,

7
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:24,110
upon all the apparatus,

8
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:25,819
and you've got to make it stop!

9
00:00:25,820 --> 00:00:32,520
♪

10
00:00:32,530 --> 00:00:35,159
- First, let me start by
saying Mario Savio's

11
00:00:35,160 --> 00:00:37,059
"Operation of the Machine"

12
00:00:37,060 --> 00:00:40,060
is one of my favorite
speeches of all time.

13
00:00:40,070 --> 00:00:44,069
Mario wasn't a politician
or some famous Hollywood star.

14
00:00:44,070 --> 00:00:47,239
He was just a student
who was for civil rights.

15
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,109
He stood on a car at Berkley

16
00:00:49,110 --> 00:00:51,109
and screamed whatever
came into his head.

17
00:00:51,110 --> 00:00:53,240
He didn't care that he had
a stuttering problem

18
00:00:53,250 --> 00:00:56,110
or that he might get thrown
out of school, which he did.

19
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,349
He just wanted
his voice to be heard

20
00:00:59,350 --> 00:01:03,819
and be unencumbered
by the machine.

21
00:01:03,820 --> 00:01:05,459
As an investigative
writer that has yet

22
00:01:05,460 --> 00:01:08,829
to be officially published,

23
00:01:08,830 --> 00:01:11,830
I can relate to Mario's desire.

24
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,139
That's me behind the wheel,

25
00:01:22,140 --> 00:01:26,740
Jay Bahadur, proud college
graduate of the class of 2007,

26
00:01:26,750 --> 00:01:28,679
arguably the worst year

27
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,579
since the Great Depression
to graduate school,

28
00:01:30,580 --> 00:01:33,450
but timing was
never my strength.

29
00:01:38,220 --> 00:01:43,590
In fact, good timing seems to be
at odds with my very existence,

30
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,760
but like many
unpleasantries in life,

31
00:01:46,770 --> 00:01:49,430
you just learn to deal with it.

32
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,350
- Afternoon, shoppers...
- Yo.

33
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,559
Hey, man. Is Mark Reiss here?

34
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,390
- Reissy? Oh, he left.
- Shit, really?

35
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:17,590
- Yeah.
- Damn it,

36
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,299
he was supposed to be here.

37
00:02:19,300 --> 00:02:20,899
- It's kind of lousy out,
if you didn't notice.

38
00:02:20,900 --> 00:02:23,930
He left early. Are you
interviewing for stock boy or...

39
00:02:23,940 --> 00:02:27,269
- Me? No.
- My name is Jay Bahadur.

40
00:02:27,270 --> 00:02:31,439
I'm doing market research
on premium napkins.

41
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,779
Mind if I ask you
a few questions?

42
00:02:33,780 --> 00:02:39,819
- Your name isn't even on here.
- I assure you, I am legit.

43
00:02:39,820 --> 00:02:41,289
- You drove all the way
from Toronto

44
00:02:41,290 --> 00:02:43,819
to ask questions about napkins?

45
00:02:43,820 --> 00:02:47,720
- Premium napkins.
- Thought my job sucked.

46
00:02:47,730 --> 00:02:49,659
- Could you show your
paper product aisle?

47
00:02:49,660 --> 00:02:52,799
- But I'm just kind of busy.

48
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,569
- Is there a reason why the six
...reason why the six pack

49
00:02:56,570 --> 00:02:58,870
This thing does not like me.

50
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,789
Is there a reason why
the six pack paisley napkins

51
00:03:14,790 --> 00:03:21,589
are here and not here?

52
00:03:21,590 --> 00:03:23,559
It's not a trick question.

53
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,999
- I... I think because it was just
easier putting them on the floor

54
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,899
than on the top shelf.

55
00:03:29,900 --> 00:03:33,900
- And would making our packaging
more festive make you consider

56
00:03:33,910 --> 00:03:38,410
moving the premium napkins
to the top shelf?

57
00:03:42,850 --> 00:03:44,749
You're probably thinking

58
00:03:44,750 --> 00:03:46,580
that a person
with my intellectual capacity

59
00:03:46,590 --> 00:03:47,989
would loathe waiting for
that gentleman's answer

60
00:03:47,990 --> 00:03:50,019
to my question.

61
00:03:50,020 --> 00:03:53,559
But actually,
I feel quite the contrary.

62
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:54,959
- I would just leave them
on the bottom shelf, man.

63
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,829
- It's less work.
- Less work.

64
00:03:57,830 --> 00:04:00,499
Understanding what drives a mind
to react the way

65
00:04:00,500 --> 00:04:04,369
it does to things
never ceases to amaze me.

66
00:04:04,370 --> 00:04:07,969
My careful documentation of this
one man's opinion could,

67
00:04:07,970 --> 00:04:10,870
in its own way,
reshape the patterns of napkins

68
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:16,510
on every home on this street,

69
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:20,749
including that one,
my ex-high school girlfriend,

70
00:04:20,750 --> 00:04:23,289
Tracy Zicconi's house.

71
00:04:23,290 --> 00:04:25,619
The darkened second-floor
window just a reminder

72
00:04:25,620 --> 00:04:30,829
that she now resides
1,825 miles away at Stanford.

73
00:04:30,830 --> 00:04:33,599
And I know it's 1,825 miles away

74
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,430
because I have an obsession
with Google Maps,

75
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,300
not with my ex-high
school girlfriend.

76
00:04:47,980 --> 00:04:50,849
I was raised as a non-practicing
Hindu-Christian

77
00:04:50,850 --> 00:04:53,580
half-Indian living
at this address.

78
00:04:53,590 --> 00:04:57,089
This is the home of Kailash
and Maria Bahadur.

79
00:04:57,090 --> 00:04:59,420
My well-laid-out graduation plan

80
00:04:59,430 --> 00:05:01,429
was only to visit my former
residence on festive holidays

81
00:05:01,430 --> 00:05:04,429
such as Canadian
Thanksgiving and Christmas,

82
00:05:04,430 --> 00:05:08,969
perhaps offering my skills at
turkey basting or tree trimming,

83
00:05:08,970 --> 00:05:12,869
but this was 2008.

84
00:05:12,870 --> 00:05:15,369
Plans evaporated.

85
00:05:15,370 --> 00:05:18,609
Upon my graduation from the
esteemed University of Toronto,

86
00:05:18,610 --> 00:05:22,779
my parents had decided
to give me my own mailbox.

87
00:05:22,780 --> 00:05:24,879
They saw it as a way in which
to somehow legitimize

88
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,780
my residence in their basement.

89
00:05:27,790 --> 00:05:29,519
The funny thing was
that the mailman

90
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:30,889
refused to deliver
my mail there,

91
00:05:30,890 --> 00:05:32,789
so Mom would sort the mail

92
00:05:32,790 --> 00:05:35,360
and deliver it herself
after each delivery.

93
00:05:46,670 --> 00:05:48,709
"Dear Mr. Bahadur,
the editorial staff

94
00:05:48,710 --> 00:05:50,409
"at 'Vanity Fair' has reviewed
your story submission,

95
00:05:50,410 --> 00:05:53,779
"and we unfortunately do not
feel

96
00:05:53,780 --> 00:05:54,949
"it's something we would like
our magazine

97
00:05:54,950 --> 00:05:56,979
"to pursue at this time.

98
00:05:56,980 --> 00:05:58,119
We wish you the best of luck
at other publications..."

99
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,949
Blah fucking blah.

100
00:06:00,950 --> 00:06:03,950
Why do all rejection letters
have the word "unfortunately"

101
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,059
in the first sentence?

102
00:06:06,060 --> 00:06:09,790
Surely there is a more original
adverb to toss in there.

103
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:14,060
I vow that I will never
write for a publication

104
00:06:14,070 --> 00:06:17,599
that uses the word
"unfortunately"

105
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,600
in their first sentence.

106
00:06:20,610 --> 00:06:23,040
I am better than that.

107
00:06:47,770 --> 00:06:49,599
Come on.

108
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:54,670
Jared? Jared?
Jared.

109
00:06:56,970 --> 00:06:59,740
- Is that my Red Bull?
- No.

110
00:06:59,750 --> 00:07:02,579
- Look at me.

111
00:07:02,580 --> 00:07:04,479
- Mom says you got to shovel
the snow in the driveway

112
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,180
so Dad can get in.

113
00:07:06,190 --> 00:07:07,919
- Me?
- Mm-hmm.

114
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,959
- You're not doing anything.
- Doing homework.

115
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,189
- Uh, where's mom?
- The elusive pink

116
00:07:15,190 --> 00:07:17,790
fairy armadillo
has been known to...

117
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,460
- Mom? Mom?

118
00:07:20,470 --> 00:07:21,929
- Yeah?

119
00:07:21,930 --> 00:07:24,130
- Why do I have to
shovel the driveway?

120
00:07:24,140 --> 00:07:27,939
- Your father and I
discussed this with you, Jay,

121
00:07:27,940 --> 00:07:31,839
about ways for you
to contribute rent, remember?

122
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,050
And I'm so sorry about
your rejection letter.

123
00:07:35,980 --> 00:07:38,720
Ahh!

124
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,689
- Yo!
- Ahh!

125
00:07:43,690 --> 00:07:47,089
Are you, like, earning some
extra allowance or something?

126
00:07:47,090 --> 00:07:49,229
- I'm starting to wonder why
I didn't commit teen suicide

127
00:07:49,230 --> 00:07:51,059
- when I could.
- Amen.

128
00:07:51,060 --> 00:07:53,899
Yo, bro, you want to, like,
hit Parrots with us?

129
00:07:53,900 --> 00:07:56,169
- Can't. I got to submit
my research numbers.

130
00:07:56,170 --> 00:07:57,899
They got to be
in Chicago by tomorrow.

131
00:07:57,900 --> 00:07:59,839
- Then fake it.
- I can't, man.

132
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,239
They figure out all sorts
of stuff based off my results.

133
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,739
- Like what?
- Like what holiday paisleys

134
00:08:04,740 --> 00:08:06,579
are popular and stuff.

135
00:08:06,580 --> 00:08:08,279
- Okay, bro, you lost me.

136
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:09,910
- Journalistic integrity,

137
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:11,549
it's gonna be worth
something on the resume

138
00:08:11,550 --> 00:08:13,180
when I apply to Harvard's
journalism school.

139
00:08:13,190 --> 00:08:17,089
- Right, right.
- Hey, I got an idea for a story

140
00:08:17,090 --> 00:08:18,519
I'm gonna submit.
It came to me when I was

141
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,289
listening to CBC Radio today.

142
00:08:20,290 --> 00:08:21,859
- What's... what's the angle?

143
00:08:21,860 --> 00:08:24,059
- The end of the comedic
dictator.

144
00:08:24,060 --> 00:08:27,029
Kim Jong is on his death bed,
and once he goes,

145
00:08:27,030 --> 00:08:30,199
where's the dictator
comedy gonna come from?

146
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,939
- Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
- He's funny and very alive.

147
00:08:33,940 --> 00:08:35,809
- He's not funny.

148
00:08:35,810 --> 00:08:37,809
- He's a little funny.

149
00:08:37,810 --> 00:08:40,140
- He's a little funny, but no
one can pronounce his name.

150
00:08:40,150 --> 00:08:42,649
- Your story is flawed, bro.

151
00:08:42,650 --> 00:08:45,619
- You guys want to hear
something fucked up?

152
00:08:45,620 --> 00:08:48,549
Tracy's getting engaged.

153
00:08:48,550 --> 00:08:51,719
- Where did you hear that shit?
- Mm, Kate.

154
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,620
She said she saw
it posted on Facebook.

155
00:08:54,630 --> 00:08:57,829
She's gonna marry her
Lit professor.

156
00:08:57,830 --> 00:09:00,729
- No way. Tracy is repulsed
by older men.

157
00:09:00,730 --> 00:09:01,969
- You were older.

158
00:09:01,970 --> 00:09:04,169
- Two years is not older, man!

159
00:09:04,170 --> 00:09:06,169
- It's a little bit older.

160
00:09:06,170 --> 00:09:08,609
- Fuck you, Crowe.

161
00:09:08,610 --> 00:09:11,809
- Hey, are you sure you don't
want to hit Parrots with us?

162
00:09:11,810 --> 00:09:13,340
- No, dude, I got to...

163
00:09:13,350 --> 00:09:17,179
- Do some shit nobody
gives a fuck about?

164
00:09:17,180 --> 00:09:19,079
- Exactly.

165
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,119
- All right, well,
that is your loss,

166
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:25,289
but if you change your mind,
please hit us up.

167
00:09:25,290 --> 00:09:28,329
- You got it. Later, dudes.
- See you, buddy.

168
00:09:28,330 --> 00:09:31,859
- See you.

169
00:09:31,860 --> 00:09:35,170
- Fucking moron.
- What?

170
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,240
- Ahh! Ahh!

171
00:09:45,310 --> 00:09:47,009
- Name's Bahadur, here

172
00:09:47,010 --> 00:09:48,679
to see Dr. Fleshman
about my back.

173
00:09:48,680 --> 00:09:50,849
- Have you ever been here
before?

174
00:09:50,850 --> 00:09:52,619
- No.
- All right, you'll just need

175
00:09:52,620 --> 00:09:56,819
- to fill out these forms.
- Right.

176
00:09:56,820 --> 00:09:57,989
- You okay?

177
00:09:57,990 --> 00:10:00,959
- Yeah, I just hurt my back,

178
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,290
figured I'd get a jump
on being a senior citizen.

179
00:10:10,770 --> 00:10:15,670
- So, you busting on grey hairs?
- To make a move on Kaitlyn, eh?

180
00:10:19,110 --> 00:10:21,109
- Excuse me?

181
00:10:21,110 --> 00:10:23,010
- That's all right,
I understand.

182
00:10:23,020 --> 00:10:27,049
I'd take down all of humanity
just to bang her.

183
00:10:27,050 --> 00:10:31,019
- Seymour.
- Ooh. I was just talking.

184
00:10:31,020 --> 00:10:33,389
I'm trying to keep it
a level playing field.

185
00:10:33,390 --> 00:10:35,429
- Yeah, leave him alone.
- You know what I'm saying.

186
00:10:35,430 --> 00:10:39,029
Sorry. What happened
to your back?

187
00:10:39,030 --> 00:10:41,729
- Sh-shoveling.
- Shoveling?

188
00:10:41,730 --> 00:10:45,699
- Yeah.
- I got, uh, shrapnel moving

189
00:10:45,700 --> 00:10:47,839
around the vertebrae.

190
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:49,909
It's a bitch.

191
00:10:49,910 --> 00:10:51,979
- Well, sounds like I got the
better end of the deal in here.

192
00:10:51,980 --> 00:10:53,940
- Oh, bullshit.

193
00:10:53,950 --> 00:10:59,980
Shoveling? I hate shoveling.
Pointless waste of time, no?

194
00:10:59,990 --> 00:11:02,989
Name's Seymour Tolbin.

195
00:11:02,990 --> 00:11:06,119
- Ah.
- Oh, oh, sorry.

196
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:10,929
- Wait, Seymour Tolbin?
- Yeah.

197
00:11:10,930 --> 00:11:13,029
- The... who writes for
"The Daily Mail?"

198
00:11:13,030 --> 00:11:15,829
- Wrote.
- I'm retired, sort of.

199
00:11:15,830 --> 00:11:17,899
But that's right. That's me.

200
00:11:17,900 --> 00:11:19,469
- Holy fuck.

201
00:11:19,470 --> 00:11:23,709
You are one of my favorite
journalists of all time.

202
00:11:23,710 --> 00:11:27,009
- Come on. You Facebook people
have favorite journalists?

203
00:11:27,010 --> 00:11:29,309
- You were one of the
first reporters who had the guts

204
00:11:29,310 --> 00:11:32,049
to report the Battle of
Ong Thanh as a loss.

205
00:11:32,050 --> 00:11:35,749
- That's...
- So you're a journalist?

206
00:11:35,750 --> 00:11:37,719
- No. Well, I mean, yeah,
I want to be,

207
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,020
but I can't... I just... you know,

208
00:11:40,030 --> 00:11:43,129
I haven't taken a...
I never took a class,

209
00:11:43,130 --> 00:11:45,499
but I'm seriously... I'm thinking
about going back

210
00:11:45,500 --> 00:11:46,929
to get a degree.

211
00:11:46,930 --> 00:11:49,169
Harvard is the... is the goal.

212
00:11:49,170 --> 00:11:53,200
- Oh, how can you say
something stupid like that?

213
00:11:53,210 --> 00:11:55,809
- What...
- Why do you think journalism

214
00:11:55,810 --> 00:11:57,470
is a pile of "People" magazine,

215
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:02,909
"She got cellulite on her
Dumpster" crap right now?

216
00:12:02,910 --> 00:12:06,480
Journalism isn't taught.
It's innate.

217
00:12:06,490 --> 00:12:08,819
You know what I'm saying?

218
00:12:08,820 --> 00:12:11,959
You think the shrapnel
in my back landed there

219
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,059
because I was using my head?

220
00:12:15,060 --> 00:12:16,929
No way.

221
00:12:16,930 --> 00:12:19,999
- So what are you saying?
- I'm saying fuck Harvard,

222
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:21,899
is what I'm saying.

223
00:12:21,900 --> 00:12:24,069
Fuck Harvard.

224
00:12:24,070 --> 00:12:28,969
You want to make it as some big
swinging dick journalist?

225
00:12:28,970 --> 00:12:33,809
You got to go somewhere
fucking crazy.

226
00:12:33,810 --> 00:12:35,879
- Somewhere where Western
reporters would consider

227
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:37,779
it too dangerous to go,

228
00:12:37,780 --> 00:12:42,049
like, write as a stringer
from there, get a book going.

229
00:12:42,050 --> 00:12:43,550
It's the only way out.

230
00:12:43,560 --> 00:12:48,120
- Yeah, that makes sense, man.
- That makes sense.

231
00:12:48,130 --> 00:12:52,099
Where you thinking of going?

232
00:12:52,100 --> 00:12:56,999
- Somalia.

233
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:58,899
- Hmm?
- Like, I... I bought a...

234
00:12:58,900 --> 00:13:02,569
An umbrella from a Somali once.

235
00:13:02,570 --> 00:13:04,309
- What does that mean?

236
00:13:04,310 --> 00:13:06,239
- That means where's
the fucking conflict,

237
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,809
besides the fact that they
machete reporters to death?

238
00:13:08,810 --> 00:13:10,210
- In Somalia the seeds
of democracy

239
00:13:10,220 --> 00:13:11,879
are growing amidst anarchy.

240
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:13,419
I did a paper on it
my freshman year.

241
00:13:13,420 --> 00:13:15,419
- So?

242
00:13:15,420 --> 00:13:17,550
- So it's a misunderstood place.

243
00:13:17,560 --> 00:13:20,589
- Bro, democracy is not topical,
all right?

244
00:13:20,590 --> 00:13:23,329
No... nobody wants
to understand Somalia.

245
00:13:23,330 --> 00:13:27,199
- Did you know in Somaliland
they held an election

246
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:32,069
where the minority clan won the
presidential office by 80 votes,

247
00:13:32,070 --> 00:13:34,100
and there was no violence?

248
00:13:34,110 --> 00:13:36,269
The transition of power
was peaceful.

249
00:13:36,270 --> 00:13:39,379
- It was peaceful because nobody
bothered reporting on it.

250
00:13:39,380 --> 00:13:44,249
You need to listen to me.
You want conflict?

251
00:13:44,250 --> 00:13:47,519
You want to tell the story
from both sides?

252
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,389
Go to Sudan.

253
00:13:49,390 --> 00:13:54,259
There's your ticket,
not Somalia.

254
00:13:54,260 --> 00:13:58,599
- I don't know, man. I got
a good grade on that paper.

255
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,560
Somalia and me are copacetic.

256
00:14:01,570 --> 00:14:03,899
Is a Mr. Trey Williamson here?

257
00:14:03,900 --> 00:14:06,299
- Just left.
- Shit, really?

258
00:14:06,300 --> 00:14:08,439
My name is, uh, Jay Bahadur.

259
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,109
I'm here to conduct
a marketing research...

260
00:14:10,110 --> 00:14:12,939
- Who's the guy eating Doritos
on my aisle?

261
00:14:12,940 --> 00:14:16,610
- That's my associate,
Mr. Felcher.

262
00:14:16,620 --> 00:14:19,649
- I have to clean that shit up.
- I'm so sorry, man.

263
00:14:19,650 --> 00:14:21,480
- Would you please...
- Continue maestro.

264
00:14:21,490 --> 00:14:24,389
- Refrain from eating
in this poor man's aisle?

265
00:14:24,390 --> 00:14:25,989
And just start to pick that up.

266
00:14:25,990 --> 00:14:26,990
- I got it.
- Thank you.

267
00:14:26,991 --> 00:14:28,389
- I got it.

268
00:14:28,390 --> 00:14:31,229
- And where is your, uh,
napkin aisle?

269
00:14:31,230 --> 00:14:32,959
- Aisle seven.
- Seven.

270
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:34,899
- Hey, uh, Jay?

271
00:14:34,900 --> 00:14:36,529
I think you should
check this shit out.

272
00:14:36,530 --> 00:14:38,669
- I thought we agreed
you would be silent, bro.

273
00:14:38,670 --> 00:14:42,240
- No, bro, I really think
you should check this out.

274
00:14:44,010 --> 00:14:48,010
Would you excuse me
for a moment? Thank you.

275
00:14:48,380 --> 00:14:50,310
- What the fuck, man?
- The rebels,

276
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,149
who Kenyan officials
liken to seagoing pirates

277
00:14:52,150 --> 00:14:54,649
have taken captive the MV Faina,

278
00:14:54,650 --> 00:14:57,389
a Ukrainian vessel,
off the Somali coast,

279
00:14:57,390 --> 00:15:00,059
and they're demanding
an untold ransom.

280
00:15:00,060 --> 00:15:02,429
Our correspondent, Mitch Kelp,
has more on the story

281
00:15:02,430 --> 00:15:05,959
from outside the U.S.
embassy in Nairobi.

282
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,060
Mitch, what more
can you tell us?

283
00:15:08,070 --> 00:15:09,669
- Well, Chrissy,
not a whole lot.

284
00:15:09,670 --> 00:15:11,569
We are going off
an official press release

285
00:15:11,570 --> 00:15:13,439
from the Kenyan government.

286
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,539
We don't have
a single source in Somalia,

287
00:15:15,540 --> 00:15:17,509
and I'm sure as shit not gonna
get my ass shot over there

288
00:15:17,510 --> 00:15:20,109
trying to find out
what would possess these, um...

289
00:15:20,110 --> 00:15:22,309
Possess these crackheads
to take an unarmed tanker.

290
00:15:22,310 --> 00:15:25,149
- Hmm. Well, Mitch, word here is
our corporate insurance policy

291
00:15:25,150 --> 00:15:27,080
wouldn't cover you
in that hellhole,

292
00:15:27,090 --> 00:15:29,089
and they'd hate to have
a lawsuit from your family

293
00:15:29,090 --> 00:15:32,289
on their hands when they mail
you back in pieces.

294
00:15:32,290 --> 00:15:35,289
- Thank corporate for
being so considerate, Chrissy.

295
00:15:35,290 --> 00:15:37,629
Back to you.

296
00:15:37,630 --> 00:15:41,160
- So until we can find
one crazy motherfucker

297
00:15:41,170 --> 00:15:44,530
to head over to Somalia
and find out what's going on,

298
00:15:44,540 --> 00:15:47,639
we'll continue to take
uneducated guesses

299
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:51,270
as to who these pirates are.

300
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,040
Bahadur, answer the phone!

301
00:15:54,050 --> 00:15:56,349
- And you've got to put
your bodies upon the gears

302
00:15:56,350 --> 00:16:00,119
and upon the wheels...

303
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:01,480
- Hello?

304
00:16:01,490 --> 00:16:04,219
- Hello?
- Is this Mr. Jay Bahadur?

305
00:16:04,220 --> 00:16:06,159
- Yeah.
- This is Mohamad Farole

306
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:09,129
from Radio Garowe
over in Somalia.

307
00:16:09,130 --> 00:16:11,090
I got your email.

308
00:16:11,100 --> 00:16:13,329
So you are wanting to come
to Somalia for a book.

309
00:16:13,330 --> 00:16:15,329
You are writing on the pirates,

310
00:16:15,330 --> 00:16:17,530
and you're looking for people
to talk to here, right?

311
00:16:17,540 --> 00:16:20,400
- Yes, exactly.
- I must say that is more than

312
00:16:20,410 --> 00:16:23,570
any other reporter
has been willing to do.

313
00:16:23,580 --> 00:16:25,579
You are the first Westerner

314
00:16:25,580 --> 00:16:28,140
to actually ask to come see
what's going on here.

315
00:16:28,150 --> 00:16:31,379
- That's unfortunate.
- Yes, yes, it's true.

316
00:16:31,380 --> 00:16:33,549
I'll have a conversation
with my father,

317
00:16:33,550 --> 00:16:36,319
- accommodate your request.
- Okay, okay.

318
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,489
And, uh, how... uh,
you think your father

319
00:16:39,490 --> 00:16:42,229
will be able
to make this happen?

320
00:16:42,230 --> 00:16:45,290
- I would hope so.
- He is our president.

321
00:16:51,300 --> 00:16:55,439
- Assalamu alaikum.
- Uhh.

322
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,109
- That's Somali for hello.

323
00:16:58,110 --> 00:17:02,549
I suggest you learn it, Bahadur.
I'm out of cigars.

324
00:17:02,550 --> 00:17:05,179
Want to walk with me?

325
00:17:05,180 --> 00:17:07,219
- Okay.

326
00:17:07,220 --> 00:17:08,549
Yeah, this guy Farole called.

327
00:17:08,550 --> 00:17:10,250
I just sent out some feelers

328
00:17:10,260 --> 00:17:11,719
to a few Somali news
services, and boom.

329
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:13,620
- The president's son
calls you back.

330
00:17:13,630 --> 00:17:15,159
- Yes! I never

331
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:16,629
get a break like that, never.

332
00:17:16,630 --> 00:17:19,299
- Well, uh, you create
your own reality, chief.

333
00:17:19,300 --> 00:17:20,460
- Well, if that was true,
we would all live

334
00:17:20,470 --> 00:17:22,129
in a solipsistic universe

335
00:17:22,130 --> 00:17:23,530
wherein we could do
whatever we wanted

336
00:17:23,540 --> 00:17:25,130
without any further
consequences.

337
00:17:25,140 --> 00:17:27,200
- What the fuck
are you talking about?

338
00:17:27,210 --> 00:17:29,309
- Michael Topper, author of
"Channeling UFOs"

339
00:17:29,310 --> 00:17:31,409
and "The Positive/Negative
Realms Beyond This World?"

340
00:17:31,410 --> 00:17:34,279
- You read too much.
- Fuck more girls, instead.

341
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:40,649
Speaking of which, I read
that writing sample you gave me.

342
00:17:40,650 --> 00:17:42,549
- Bad?

343
00:17:42,550 --> 00:17:45,519
- Why the fuck would you
write a piece

344
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:49,429
on how to get away
without paying parking tickets?

345
00:17:49,430 --> 00:17:51,629
- I thought people would laugh.
- Laugh?

346
00:17:51,630 --> 00:17:54,329
Parking tickets pay
for the roads.

347
00:17:54,330 --> 00:17:57,269
The roads get you
out of this shit hole.

348
00:17:57,270 --> 00:17:59,869
- So you hated it?
- No, actually.

349
00:17:59,870 --> 00:18:01,700
I liked it.

350
00:18:01,710 --> 00:18:04,839
It's not the second
coming of Hunter S. Thompson,

351
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:09,149
but you write
with a good conscience.

352
00:18:09,150 --> 00:18:10,379
- You think?
- Yeah.

353
00:18:10,380 --> 00:18:12,649
Don't let it go to your head.

354
00:18:12,650 --> 00:18:15,689
Bravo.

355
00:18:15,690 --> 00:18:20,889
So Avril Benoit,
you know who she is?

356
00:18:20,890 --> 00:18:22,859
- Yeah, uh, she's on CBC Radio.

357
00:18:22,860 --> 00:18:25,329
She did a great report
on Kenya a few weeks ago.

358
00:18:25,330 --> 00:18:29,429
- Exactly.
- She's a friend of mine, uh,

359
00:18:29,430 --> 00:18:33,869
and I want to put you
in contact with her.

360
00:18:33,870 --> 00:18:35,569
- Okay.

361
00:18:35,570 --> 00:18:39,239
- She's a good one
for feeding pages to.

362
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,909
So you got... you got
a book outline?

363
00:18:42,910 --> 00:18:44,810
- No.
- Wrong.

364
00:18:44,820 --> 00:18:47,619
You're formulating one, okay?

365
00:18:47,620 --> 00:18:49,889
- I haven't. I mean, this is
all happening so fast.

366
00:18:49,890 --> 00:18:52,159
I just... I Googled
"Somalia press,"

367
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:53,689
found Farole's name,
and sent out a blind email.

368
00:18:53,690 --> 00:18:55,459
I had no idea this was
gonna blow up, none.

369
00:18:55,460 --> 00:18:58,459
- Bahadur, you got
a book outline?

370
00:18:58,460 --> 00:19:00,199
- No! That's what I'm trying
to tell you...

371
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:06,639
- Stop! Try again.
- You got a book outline?

372
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,439
- I'm formulating it.

373
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,539
- I knew you'd get it
on the third try.

374
00:19:10,540 --> 00:19:12,309
Come on, let's go.

375
00:19:12,310 --> 00:19:17,379
So how much do you know
about Somalia?

376
00:19:17,380 --> 00:19:19,419
- Uh, well, I did a term paper

377
00:19:19,420 --> 00:19:21,449
on it my freshman year
at university, so.

378
00:19:21,450 --> 00:19:22,849
- That's good.

379
00:19:22,850 --> 00:19:26,589
Don't tell me the grade.
It's a start.

380
00:19:26,590 --> 00:19:28,489
Immerse yourself in it.

381
00:19:28,490 --> 00:19:29,929
You dig cigars?

382
00:19:29,930 --> 00:19:32,599
- I never understood cigars.

383
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,660
- That's clever,
don't you think, Jo?

384
00:19:34,670 --> 00:19:37,899
Okay. Save this.

385
00:19:37,900 --> 00:19:41,869
By the time this thing
is over, you will.

386
00:19:41,870 --> 00:19:45,470
Jo, thank you.

387
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:49,379
What else don't you understand?
I need to know that.

388
00:19:49,380 --> 00:19:52,279
- The Jays are going to lose
Burnett to the Yanks.

389
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,819
They offered him 82.5 million
over five years.

390
00:19:54,820 --> 00:19:58,319
- Can you believe that?
- I have an announcement.

391
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:02,759
- What kind of announcement?
- Yes, what kind?

392
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:07,760
- Uh, I'm gonna go to Somalia

393
00:20:07,770 --> 00:20:10,799
and write a book on the pirates,

394
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:12,999
try to get
some stories published.

395
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:17,670
- Somalia?
- I know what you're thinking.

396
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:21,609
I know you're thinking
it's batshit crazy, but I think

397
00:20:21,610 --> 00:20:25,649
this is the only way
for me to become a journalist.

398
00:20:25,650 --> 00:20:28,619
- AIDS.
- AIDS?

399
00:20:28,620 --> 00:20:31,750
- Isn't that a problem there?
- I believe so,

400
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,589
but I'm going to write
about the pirates,

401
00:20:34,590 --> 00:20:37,030
Dad, not sleep with them.

402
00:20:42,670 --> 00:20:47,439
Excuse me,
it's my Somali contact.

403
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:52,909
Assalamu alaikum.

404
00:20:52,910 --> 00:20:56,309
Shifted?

405
00:20:56,310 --> 00:21:00,480
- He needs to do more yoga.
- His shoulders are bad.

406
00:21:00,490 --> 00:21:02,850
- Assalam... ciao.

407
00:21:10,330 --> 00:21:15,699
- You okay, sweetheart?
- Yeah, I'm okay.

408
00:21:15,700 --> 00:21:16,899
I was wrong though.

409
00:21:16,900 --> 00:21:18,669
- Wrong?
- Yeah, apparently

410
00:21:18,670 --> 00:21:20,800
there's an additional
$500 security deposit

411
00:21:20,810 --> 00:21:22,069
I didn't account for.

412
00:21:22,070 --> 00:21:25,609
- 500?
- Security deposit?

413
00:21:25,610 --> 00:21:28,009
- Yeah, just for, you know...
- You know, for, like, uh,

414
00:21:28,010 --> 00:21:31,850
vehicles and such, insurance
policies, things like that.

415
00:21:35,420 --> 00:21:37,590
Can I borrow $500?

416
00:21:41,830 --> 00:21:44,929
- Welcome about flight 823 now
departing for Frankfurt.

417
00:21:44,930 --> 00:21:46,699
At this time
we'd like you to put away

418
00:21:46,700 --> 00:21:47,799
- all your electronic devices...
- Excuse me, sir.

419
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:49,569
All cell phones must be off.

420
00:21:49,570 --> 00:21:50,969
- It's just final words
to my ex-girlfriend

421
00:21:50,970 --> 00:21:53,039
before I had to Somalia.

422
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:57,470
I'm, uh, basically looking for
a little sympathy, maybe a wow.

423
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:02,349
Personally, between me and you,
I'd settle for an LOL.

424
00:22:02,350 --> 00:22:04,510
- Off, please.
- Right, right, sorry.

425
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,349
I want to take
a moment now to say

426
00:22:06,350 --> 00:22:07,880
that not all the characters
in this film

427
00:22:07,890 --> 00:22:09,349
are exactly like
they are in real life,

428
00:22:09,350 --> 00:22:11,650
except for that stewardess.

429
00:22:11,660 --> 00:22:14,120
I felt she needed to be
depicted completely accurately

430
00:22:14,130 --> 00:22:17,129
in her total lack
of empathy for my pain.

431
00:22:17,130 --> 00:22:19,129
Thankfully I only had to spend
the next eight hours

432
00:22:19,130 --> 00:22:20,799
of my journey with her,

433
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:22,729
and then I'd get
a new stewardess,

434
00:22:22,730 --> 00:22:24,899
and then another stewardess,
and then another.

435
00:22:24,900 --> 00:22:26,699
In fact, I might have set

436
00:22:26,700 --> 00:22:28,600
a connecting
flight record to Somalia,

437
00:22:28,610 --> 00:22:31,039
but see, this was all part
of my master plan,

438
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,779
a fixed budget that would
allow me to write my book,

439
00:22:33,780 --> 00:22:35,479
and unlike several
of my predecessors

440
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,479
who ventured to
where that flag is,

441
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,580
I'd say alive, as kidnapping
and killing journalists

442
00:22:40,590 --> 00:22:42,030
had become an
unfortunate trend here.

443
00:23:17,590 --> 00:23:18,720
Dude.

444
00:23:27,060 --> 00:23:30,069
Fuck! Stop!

445
00:23:30,070 --> 00:23:33,900
Stop the fucking... Seymour?

446
00:23:33,910 --> 00:23:35,909
Tracy?

447
00:23:35,910 --> 00:23:37,640
I thought you were
repulsed by older men!

448
00:23:42,580 --> 00:23:43,979
- Please calm down!
- Make out with me!

449
00:23:43,980 --> 00:23:48,749
Make out with me now!
Ahh!

450
00:23:48,750 --> 00:23:50,619
Believe it or not,
that is what I consider

451
00:23:50,620 --> 00:23:52,019
a mild Tracy nightmare.

452
00:23:52,020 --> 00:23:55,759
Sorry, sorry, man.

453
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:57,690
In order to
clear my mind of its negativity,

454
00:23:57,700 --> 00:23:59,999
I'll take a moment now to focus
on the less fortunate

455
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:04,630
than myself,
the people of Somalia.

456
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:08,139
Hard to believe this land was
once known as a nation of poets.

457
00:24:08,140 --> 00:24:10,639
Throughout their history,
the Somali poet was counted on

458
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:12,709
to defend a clan's honor.

459
00:24:12,710 --> 00:24:14,509
They used poems of persuasion

460
00:24:14,510 --> 00:24:17,179
in lieu of weapons
to settle disputes,

461
00:24:17,180 --> 00:24:20,480
but in the 20th century
times changed.

462
00:24:20,490 --> 00:24:21,849
Both the English
and the Italians

463
00:24:21,850 --> 00:24:24,150
attempted to colonize them.

464
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,159
They introduced guns
into battle,

465
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:29,259
and although Somalia
valiantly refused to succumb,

466
00:24:29,260 --> 00:24:32,899
the scars of war never relented.

467
00:24:32,900 --> 00:24:35,899
Somalia's recent civil war
had caused over a million people

468
00:24:35,900 --> 00:24:39,069
to flee to neighboring
countries as refuges.

469
00:24:39,070 --> 00:24:43,269
Those who stayed faced droughts,
floods, famine,

470
00:24:43,270 --> 00:24:46,279
feuding clan battles, and jihad.

471
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:49,509
Their newly-elected President
Farole had his hands full,

472
00:24:49,510 --> 00:24:53,119
especially when you threw
in the pirates.

473
00:24:53,120 --> 00:24:55,719
I arrived at my destination
city of Galkayo,

474
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,119
and into the fire I plunged,

475
00:24:58,120 --> 00:25:02,760
or as my Somali translation
book said, "Dabka."

476
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,800
Holy fuck.

477
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:17,739
- Mr. Bahadur? Mr. Bahadur.
- Hi.

478
00:25:17,740 --> 00:25:19,809
- Hi, welcome to Galkayo.
- Oh, thank you.

479
00:25:19,810 --> 00:25:22,879
- Yes. I am Abdirizak.
- You call me Abdi.

480
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:24,279
I am your translator.

481
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:25,649
- Cool. Good to meet you.

482
00:25:25,650 --> 00:25:27,049
- Good to meet you, yes.

483
00:25:27,050 --> 00:25:30,589
- How was your flight?
- It was good.

484
00:25:30,590 --> 00:25:34,189
- That's good. Oh, please don't
do the... with your finger here.

485
00:25:34,190 --> 00:25:35,789
- This?
- Yes. Oh, please...

486
00:25:35,790 --> 00:25:37,629
- Oh, no, I'm sorry.
- I didn't know.

487
00:25:37,630 --> 00:25:39,059
I'm... I'm so sorry. I...

488
00:25:39,060 --> 00:25:40,829
- It's offensive.

489
00:25:40,830 --> 00:25:41,999
- I'll keep the thumbs in
check. Thank you.

490
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:43,729
- Yes, yes.
- Yeah.

491
00:25:43,730 --> 00:25:45,969
- Your English is great.
- It's not perfect.

492
00:25:45,970 --> 00:25:49,709
I try to learn from you
during your stay, Mr. Bahadur.

493
00:25:49,710 --> 00:25:52,070
- Oh, please call me Jay.
- Jay?

494
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:53,639
- Yeah, Jay.

495
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,949
- Jay, you have one bag?
- Yeah, one bag.

496
00:25:55,950 --> 00:25:58,879
- Oh, you're like Obama,
a man that knows what he wants.

497
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:00,680
- You know Obama?

498
00:26:00,690 --> 00:26:02,319
- Of course. He will be great
leader for your people.

499
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,889
- Oh, I'm Canadian.
- He's... he's not my leader.

500
00:26:04,890 --> 00:26:06,319
- Of course he is.

501
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,060
Your people just don't know it.
Come.

502
00:26:12,260 --> 00:26:16,230
♪

503
00:26:18,300 --> 00:26:25,610
♪

504
00:26:28,650 --> 00:26:31,879
So I hear you are
an author and journalist.

505
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,719
- Yes.
- Good, good.

506
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:38,719
There is so much to write
about in this country.

507
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:40,189
What is your subject?

508
00:26:40,190 --> 00:26:41,689
- In a perfect world
I'd be writing

509
00:26:41,690 --> 00:26:43,629
about your newfound democracy,

510
00:26:43,630 --> 00:26:45,390
but, um, given the fact

511
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:49,260
that the West has broken off
all relations with you, um,

512
00:26:49,270 --> 00:26:51,330
I'm here to write
about your pirates.

513
00:26:51,340 --> 00:26:55,669
- You mean badaadinta badah?
- Bada-binda-bada? What is that?

514
00:26:55,670 --> 00:26:59,139
- It means saviors of the sea.
- They are like Coast Guard.

515
00:26:59,140 --> 00:27:01,340
You can never call them pirates.

516
00:27:01,350 --> 00:27:03,309
- Okay. That's good to know.

517
00:27:03,310 --> 00:27:08,119
- They have very strong opinion
on this, never pirates.

518
00:27:08,120 --> 00:27:10,950
- Are they easy to find?
- Yes, of course.

519
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,120
They are people
with crazy money.

520
00:27:14,130 --> 00:27:15,659
- So they walk freely?

521
00:27:15,660 --> 00:27:18,259
- Yes, but our new
President Farole

522
00:27:18,260 --> 00:27:20,199
has promised to change this.

523
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,229
He is a very tough man
who will bring much change.

524
00:27:23,230 --> 00:27:26,870
Ah!

525
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:33,839
- Is everything okay?
- Yes, yes.

526
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,310
It's okay?

527
00:27:38,050 --> 00:27:39,849
- Yes, yes.

528
00:27:39,850 --> 00:27:42,449
Sometimes I feel like father
with little children.

529
00:27:42,450 --> 00:27:44,250
They need khat.

530
00:27:44,260 --> 00:27:47,060
- Khat.
- Yes. We must stop up here.

531
00:27:55,370 --> 00:27:57,099
- In Somalia one hour
and already shooting

532
00:27:57,100 --> 00:27:59,330
my first drug deal,

533
00:27:59,340 --> 00:28:02,909
my kind of country.

534
00:28:02,910 --> 00:28:06,109
So khat is a drug?

535
00:28:06,110 --> 00:28:10,349
- Yes, it's... it's a stimulant
leaf from Kenya and Ethiopia.

536
00:28:10,350 --> 00:28:15,719
It's very addictive,
big problem here.

537
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:20,419
What's he saying?

538
00:28:20,420 --> 00:28:23,259
- He wants to know
if you want to buy some.

539
00:28:23,260 --> 00:28:26,099
- Oh, no, I... I... sorry,

540
00:28:26,100 --> 00:28:28,029
I'm on a very fixed budget.

541
00:28:28,030 --> 00:28:30,070
I didn't account for drug
money. I don't have any...

542
00:28:42,150 --> 00:28:44,349
He wants you to try it.

543
00:28:44,350 --> 00:28:48,219
- It won't kill you.
- Yes, just bite down.

544
00:28:48,220 --> 00:28:50,319
- What's the effects?

545
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:52,519
- Makes some people
want to have sex,

546
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,920
others very talkative.

547
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:00,899
- Ugh! Tracy was a great girl,

548
00:29:00,900 --> 00:29:02,060
but, you know, she... what... what
are you gonna do?

549
00:29:02,070 --> 00:29:03,469
She moves on. I move on.

550
00:29:03,470 --> 00:29:05,269
I really doubt we'll ever
even talk again.

551
00:29:05,270 --> 00:29:06,999
I mean, why bother, right?
Seems like a waste of time.

552
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:08,369
I mean, it's just gonna
confuse thing and make it

553
00:29:08,370 --> 00:29:09,809
- more difficult.
- Men and women

554
00:29:09,810 --> 00:29:11,539
- can't be friends.
- Exactly!

555
00:29:11,540 --> 00:29:13,039
Exactly, that's
the same over here?

556
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,479
- Yes, it's a universal thought.

557
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:17,379
- See, where I come
from, they debate it.

558
00:29:17,380 --> 00:29:19,549
They debate it like
morons, like idiots.

559
00:29:19,550 --> 00:29:23,419
- It's not a debate. It's fact.
- We're reaching a checkpoint.

560
00:29:23,420 --> 00:29:25,390
Please stay calm.

561
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,919
- Ah, Mr. Bahadur..

562
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:56,389
- Hi.
- So we finally meet

563
00:29:56,390 --> 00:29:58,319
- face to face, huh?
- Yes, nice to meet you.

564
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:01,959
- Nice to meet you, sir. Abdi.

565
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,559
You are younger than
I pictured, somewhat.

566
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,559
- Ah.
- Western reporters to me

567
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:10,069
are always so fucking unhappy.

568
00:30:10,070 --> 00:30:14,099
- Well, I get even better
once I shower.

569
00:30:14,100 --> 00:30:16,369
- Come on, come on.
- Has Abdi been good to you?

570
00:30:16,370 --> 00:30:18,270
- Yes, mad good, yeah.

571
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,879
- He's the best translator
in all of Puntland, you know?

572
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:22,279
- Oh, no, really?
- Yeah.

573
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:23,949
We stole him from the pirates.

574
00:30:23,950 --> 00:30:27,119
- Oh, you mean, uh,
badaadinta badah?

575
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:28,419
- Abdi, did you teach him this?

576
00:30:28,420 --> 00:30:30,049
- Ah...
- This is not

577
00:30:30,050 --> 00:30:32,089
our Coast Guard, Abdi,
they are pirates!

578
00:30:32,090 --> 00:30:35,189
You must forget
the old guard's thinking.

579
00:30:35,190 --> 00:30:36,889
They are pirates!

580
00:30:36,890 --> 00:30:41,060
- Pirates.

581
00:30:41,070 --> 00:30:42,629
- Mr. Jay.
- Hi.

582
00:30:42,630 --> 00:30:45,299
- So what do you think of
the Radio Garowe newsroom?

583
00:30:45,300 --> 00:30:46,999
- Nice.

584
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,439
- Does it look like
the ones in Canada?

585
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:50,870
- Yes.

586
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:52,270
Yes, it does, a bit, yeah.

587
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,009
- It's amazing, huh?

588
00:30:54,010 --> 00:30:55,909
- Is it a local station or, um...
- Oh, one minute.

589
00:30:55,910 --> 00:30:58,410
- Okay. Okay.
- Yeah, mostly it's local,

590
00:30:58,420 --> 00:31:00,149
but, you know,
the guy is very famous.

591
00:31:00,150 --> 00:31:02,180
- He used to work for...
- This guy, famous?

592
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:07,489
That was my father's office.
He wants to meet us now.

593
00:31:07,490 --> 00:31:09,259
- Your father?
- The... the president?

594
00:31:09,260 --> 00:31:12,490
- Yeah, we must go now.

595
00:31:12,500 --> 00:31:14,499
- Fuck.

596
00:31:14,500 --> 00:31:18,169
- Pirates are not the most
cooperative group to deal with.

597
00:31:18,170 --> 00:31:22,100
- Mm-hmm.
- Look here.

598
00:31:22,110 --> 00:31:25,570
The main pirates' clan
are dotted around here.

599
00:31:25,580 --> 00:31:28,179
- Eyl.
- You know Eyl?

600
00:31:28,180 --> 00:31:29,979
- Yeah, that's where
they took the Farhina

601
00:31:29,980 --> 00:31:31,649
and held it for six months.

602
00:31:31,650 --> 00:31:35,019
- Precisely. Eyl is a fishing
town where they started.

603
00:31:35,020 --> 00:31:38,450
I'm working on getting you
a meeting with Boyah.

604
00:31:38,460 --> 00:31:41,359
- Boyah?
- Yes, he's a man Somali

605
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:43,359
calls Robin Hood.

606
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:49,460
- Robin Hood of the pirates?
- But it could take some time.

607
00:31:49,470 --> 00:31:55,269
- How much time?
- Days, maybe weeks.

608
00:31:55,270 --> 00:31:57,509
Is that a problem?

609
00:31:57,510 --> 00:31:59,209
- No. No, no, that's fine.
- No?

610
00:31:59,210 --> 00:32:00,609
- That's totally fine, yeah.
- Yeah?

611
00:32:00,610 --> 00:32:02,309
- Yeah.
- Okay.

612
00:32:02,310 --> 00:32:03,679
- Yeah, I'll just... I'll call
my publisher

613
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:07,249
and make sure it's all set,

614
00:32:07,250 --> 00:32:09,120
finances,
extending it, and everything.

615
00:32:28,140 --> 00:32:31,539
- My father just got in here
a couple weeks ago.

616
00:32:31,540 --> 00:32:35,740
The transition of government
was entirely peaceful.

617
00:32:51,390 --> 00:32:53,599
This is the reporter,
Jay Bahadur.

618
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:55,660
- It's an honor to meet you,
Your Excellency.

619
00:32:55,670 --> 00:32:57,499
- Welcome, Mr. Bahadur.

620
00:32:57,500 --> 00:33:01,039
So my son tells me you're
the next Mr. Bob Woodward.

621
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:03,769
- I'm not so sure about that.
- Why aren't you sure?

622
00:33:03,770 --> 00:33:05,439
You have made it farther
into Somalia

623
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:07,509
than any of
your Western counterparts.

624
00:33:07,510 --> 00:33:11,110
- With all due respect, uh,
I've always considered myself

625
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:13,419
more of a Bernstein
than a Woodward.

626
00:33:13,420 --> 00:33:15,749
Bernstein was ugly as hell
and never got through college.

627
00:33:15,750 --> 00:33:19,589
Overcame his shortcomings.
Uh, I find that admirable.

628
00:33:19,590 --> 00:33:22,789
- He's a funny guy.
- Very funny.

629
00:33:22,790 --> 00:33:24,790
- I would like to introduce you
to Colonel Omar,

630
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:30,599
who'll be the head of your
security team during your stay.

631
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:33,539
- Welcome.
- Pleasure to meet you, Colonel.

632
00:33:33,540 --> 00:33:35,139
- I'll protect you well,
Mr. Bahadur.

633
00:33:35,140 --> 00:33:39,309
You're welcome.

634
00:33:39,310 --> 00:33:44,749
- You have learned some Somali?
- Enough to be a bad tourist.

635
00:33:44,750 --> 00:33:47,479
Um, is this okay?

636
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:49,519
- Of course.
- That's why you're here.

637
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:53,059
My family and I spent our last
eight years in Australia...

638
00:33:53,060 --> 00:33:56,259
- Is there a reason the six
pack paisley napk... are...

639
00:33:56,260 --> 00:33:58,159
- And we...
- Not here?

640
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,559
Sorry. I'm so sorry,
Your Excellency. I'm just, uh...

641
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:02,329
I think because
it was just...

642
00:34:02,330 --> 00:34:03,769
Trying to get this dang
thing working here.

643
00:34:03,770 --> 00:34:07,670
Festive... festive...

644
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,409
Good to go.

645
00:34:13,410 --> 00:34:17,249
- The people of Somalia asked me
to come back here

646
00:34:17,250 --> 00:34:20,379
and to run for this office.

647
00:34:20,380 --> 00:34:24,319
I never saw myself
being the president.

648
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:25,819
I am a businessman.

649
00:34:25,820 --> 00:34:28,320
I am not a warrior
like my predecessors,

650
00:34:28,330 --> 00:34:30,859
but here I am,
fighting to bring justice

651
00:34:30,860 --> 00:34:34,460
to those who destroy
our country.

652
00:34:34,470 --> 00:34:38,369
Have you seen a school since
you've come here, Mr. Bahadur?

653
00:34:38,370 --> 00:34:40,539
- Uh, no, I must
admit I haven't.

654
00:34:40,540 --> 00:34:43,669
- We have the fewest schools
in the African nations.

655
00:34:43,670 --> 00:34:49,379
Do you know how hard it is
to rule here with a PhD

656
00:34:49,380 --> 00:34:54,680
knowing the children I lead
have no chance for an education?

657
00:34:54,690 --> 00:34:58,719
Their role models
of success are pirates.

658
00:34:58,720 --> 00:35:02,559
The Western world thinks
we encourage this.

659
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:07,229
This must change.

660
00:35:07,230 --> 00:35:09,899
Do you have a title yet?

661
00:35:09,900 --> 00:35:11,530
- A title?

662
00:35:11,540 --> 00:35:13,769
- For your future
bestselling book.

663
00:35:13,770 --> 00:35:17,509
- Oh. Um, yes, of course.

664
00:35:17,510 --> 00:35:22,409
Um, "Pirates."

665
00:35:22,410 --> 00:35:24,349
- That's shit title.

666
00:35:24,350 --> 00:35:26,849
Just "Pirates?"

667
00:35:26,850 --> 00:35:32,550
- "Pirates of Somalia."
- Be more creative.

668
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:33,719
- Be more creative.
- Creative?

669
00:35:33,720 --> 00:35:35,420
- Yeah.
- Creative.

670
00:35:35,430 --> 00:35:41,360
- Creative
- Yes, creative, you're right.

671
00:35:41,370 --> 00:35:44,169
- Jay, you know,
my father likes you.

672
00:35:44,170 --> 00:35:46,769
- What, you think so?
- Yes, yes.

673
00:35:46,770 --> 00:35:48,400
- All right.

674
00:35:48,410 --> 00:35:52,239
- He knows you will bring
great things here.

675
00:35:52,240 --> 00:35:56,209
- What if I don't?

676
00:35:56,210 --> 00:35:59,479
- How can you not when people
read your bestseller?

677
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:01,380
- Ohh.

678
00:36:01,390 --> 00:36:04,219
- Abdi, have you
found Boyah yet?

679
00:36:04,220 --> 00:36:06,959
- Mm.
- Oh, you must be patient, man.

680
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:08,960
- Yeah.
- He will show up.

681
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,459
They're gonna take you
to your accommodations.

682
00:36:13,460 --> 00:36:16,729
- Wow. Thank you, uh,
so much for everything.

683
00:36:16,730 --> 00:36:18,930
- That's the beginning
of a better Somalia, Jay.

684
00:36:18,940 --> 00:36:21,569
- Yes, I certainly hope so.

with no khat.

856
00:48:42,650 --> 00:48:45,310
- Great.
- Jay Bahadur, now you know.

857
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:48,020
Mm.

858
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:02,729
- CBC, Avril Benoit's office.
- Hi, this is Jay Bahadur.

859
00:49:02,730 --> 00:49:04,199
I'm calling for Ms. Benoit.

860
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:06,030
I believe she's expecting
my call.

861
00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:08,269
- One moment, please.

862
00:49:08,270 --> 00:49:10,439
Avril, I have a Jay Bahadur
on the line.

863
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:12,670
He says you're
expecting his call.

864
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:16,979
- I don't know a Jay Bahadur.
- Okay.

865
00:49:16,980 --> 00:49:19,079
I'm sorry, she can't be
reached at the moment.

866
00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:21,249
Uh, can she return, Mr. Bahadur?

867
00:49:21,250 --> 00:49:24,449
- No, it'd be impossible
to return. I need to talk now.

868
00:49:24,450 --> 00:49:26,289
It's critical.

869
00:49:26,290 --> 00:49:29,059
- Well, unfortunately,
she's unavailable.

870
00:49:29,060 --> 00:49:31,129
- No! Please, uh...

871
00:49:31,130 --> 00:49:33,459
- What's your name?
- Beth.

872
00:49:33,460 --> 00:49:36,399
- Beth, hey, Beth.

873
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:39,399
Um, there's gonna be a moment

874
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:42,700
when you're not on
that desk screening calls,

875
00:49:42,710 --> 00:49:45,209
and you're gonna need a break,
a single tiny break

876
00:49:45,210 --> 00:49:47,639
from the assistant
on the other end,

877
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:50,179
and that karma
is gonna be paid off

878
00:49:50,180 --> 00:49:54,619
by giving me a break
in this very moment.

879
00:49:54,620 --> 00:49:57,589
- You think it gets me a raise?
- Definitely.

880
00:49:57,590 --> 00:50:02,389
Just tell her
that I'm in Somalia.

881
00:50:02,390 --> 00:50:06,390
- Okay, fine. You win.

882
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:09,229
Jay Bahadur says
he's calling from Somalia.

883
00:50:09,230 --> 00:50:12,130
- Oh, shit.
- Jesus, yeah, I'll take it.

884
00:50:12,140 --> 00:50:13,530
Hello, this is Avril Benoit.

885
00:50:13,540 --> 00:50:16,200
- Hi, Ms. Benoit.
- This is Jay Bahadur.

886
00:50:16,210 --> 00:50:18,169
I believe Seymour
told you about me.

887
00:50:18,170 --> 00:50:20,639
- Yes, yes. Are you really
calling from Somalia?

888
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:23,279
- Yes, I'm in Garowe,
all limbs intact.

889
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:24,579
- Jesus.
- Look, I sent you

890
00:50:24,580 --> 00:50:26,549
a proposal, uh,
regarding a book

891
00:50:26,550 --> 00:50:28,349
I'm writing on the pirates.

892
00:50:28,350 --> 00:50:30,319
I don't know if you had
a chance to review it.

893
00:50:30,320 --> 00:50:33,189
- I'm gonna be honest
with you, Jay, I haven't.

894
00:50:33,190 --> 00:50:34,689
Are you really there?

895
00:50:34,690 --> 00:50:37,089
- Yes, yes, I am.

896
00:50:37,090 --> 00:50:40,629
Um, I'm being hosted
by President Farole's son.

897
00:50:40,630 --> 00:50:42,499
- Christ, this is unreal.

898
00:50:42,500 --> 00:50:45,599
No one's in there,
CNN, BBC, no one.

899
00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:47,300
- Yeah, I know.

900
00:50:49,610 --> 00:50:50,669
- Oh, shit.

901
00:50:50,670 --> 00:50:52,409
- What the fuck was that?

902
00:50:52,410 --> 00:50:54,309
- Ten minutes,
my... my phone card's out.

903
00:50:54,310 --> 00:50:57,240
I... I'm... I'm tagging along

904
00:50:57,250 --> 00:50:59,710
with a pirate the locals
claim is like Robin Hood.

905
00:50:59,720 --> 00:51:01,579
He runs this huge
operation out of Eyl.

906
00:51:01,580 --> 00:51:04,349
It is my hope that I can be
a stringer with you,

907
00:51:04,350 --> 00:51:06,619
and if you really see
something in the pages,

908
00:51:06,620 --> 00:51:08,659
you could help me
get a book deal.

909
00:51:08,660 --> 00:51:10,859
Will... will you read my pages?

910
00:51:10,860 --> 00:51:12,790
- Yes.
- Yes!

911
00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:14,629
Thank you. Thank you so much.

912
00:51:14,630 --> 00:51:16,460
Uh, I'm a huge fan, by...

913
00:51:16,470 --> 00:51:20,400
- He said he was a lobster
diver from Eyl.

914
00:51:26,210 --> 00:51:29,440
- The Westerners come,
Chinese, the Koreans.

915
00:51:31,850 --> 00:51:34,580
- Jay! Gabar!

916
00:51:38,620 --> 00:51:40,450
- You're a good wingman, Asad.

917
00:51:40,460 --> 00:51:45,159
Nice! Nice, buddy. Yes!

918
00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:48,259
What?

919
00:51:48,260 --> 00:51:50,529
What does that mean?

920
00:51:50,530 --> 00:51:55,440
Keep your eyes on her, man.

921
00:51:57,410 --> 00:52:00,310
Go, baby, go, baby, go.
Go, baby, go.

922
00:52:06,410 --> 00:52:07,919
- You took the chair.

923
00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:10,520
You took the chair.

It is a merely mathematical

Assalamu alaikum Jay.

934
00:53:36,710 --> 00:53:39,910
- Assalamu alaikum, Maryan.

935
00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:46,579
- Yes, I see you in the window.
- You speak English.

936
00:53:46,580 --> 00:53:50,380
- A little.
- Where did you learn?

937
00:53:50,390 --> 00:53:53,519
- I watch a lot
of American movies.

938
00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:55,319
- Movies?

939
00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:59,729
- Yeah. I love.
- That makes two of us.

940
00:53:59,730 --> 00:54:01,359
- Yes?
- Yeah.

941
00:54:01,360 --> 00:54:03,529
Uh, got movie posters
all over my room.

942
00:54:03,530 --> 00:54:04,829
What's your favorite movie?

943
00:54:04,830 --> 00:54:07,939
- I like "G.I. Jane."
- Really?

944
00:54:07,940 --> 00:54:13,309
- Yeah. I like Demi Moore.
- She's a very tough woman.

945
00:54:13,310 --> 00:54:15,479
- Yeah, especially
with that buzz cut.

946
00:54:15,480 --> 00:54:17,379
It's super butch.

947
00:54:17,380 --> 00:54:19,510
I'm sure Demi Moore
would be honored, though,

948
00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:22,419
to have a Somali fan club.

949
00:54:22,420 --> 00:54:27,450
- The movie I think is
very wrong is "Black Hawk Down."

950
00:54:27,460 --> 00:54:30,559
- Because, uh, it's about
what went down in Mogadishu?

951
00:54:30,560 --> 00:54:34,729
- No, because it's about
our people,

952
00:54:34,730 --> 00:54:39,869
and they do not use a single
person from Somalia in it.

953
00:54:39,870 --> 00:54:42,600
It is wrong.

954
00:54:42,610 --> 00:54:46,770
- I didn't know that.
- Yes.

955
00:54:46,780 --> 00:54:49,840
"Derka derka Mohammed jihad,"

956
00:54:49,850 --> 00:54:54,349
That's what they were doing
the whole pathetic film.

957
00:54:54,350 --> 00:54:57,580
- You just did "Team America."
That's crazy. Wow.

958
00:54:57,590 --> 00:55:01,519
- Yes, "Team America"
said many smart things.

959
00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:04,629
- This conversation
is getting surreal.

960
00:55:04,630 --> 00:55:07,559
- You know this city
talks about you?

961
00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:09,899
- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.

962
00:55:09,900 --> 00:55:11,929
- What are they saying?

963
00:55:11,930 --> 00:55:15,599
- They're saying you're here
to expose the truth

964
00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:19,009
about the badaadinta badah.

965
00:55:19,010 --> 00:55:20,409
- Yeah?
- Yeah.

966
00:55:20,410 --> 00:55:23,579
- Well, I mean, I am trying,

967
00:55:23,580 --> 00:55:28,549
but, uh,
what do you think about them?

968
00:55:28,550 --> 00:55:31,119
- I'm not the person to ask.

969
00:55:31,120 --> 00:55:33,619
I'm married to one.

970
00:55:33,620 --> 00:55:36,459
- Garaad.
- So you know?

971
00:55:36,460 --> 00:55:39,059
- I know, yeah.
- He's a very powerful man.

972
00:55:39,060 --> 00:55:40,759
I'm trying to meet him.

973
00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:44,929
- Yeah, you and I
both want that meeting.

974
00:55:44,930 --> 00:55:47,699
- You don't see him much?

975
00:55:47,700 --> 00:55:51,000
- Not since I married him, no.

976
00:55:51,010 --> 00:55:52,809
- Well, you'd be
a better treasure

977
00:55:52,810 --> 00:55:55,409
than anything he'd find
on one of those ships.

978
00:55:55,410 --> 00:55:58,379
- That's an American movie line.

979
00:55:58,380 --> 00:55:59,380
- Yes.

980
00:55:59,381 --> 00:56:01,549
Maybe. I don't know.

981
00:56:01,550 --> 00:56:03,480
But it's good though, right?

982
00:56:03,490 --> 00:56:07,550
And true.

983
00:56:07,560 --> 00:56:11,089
- You here for khat, yes?
- Yeah.

984
00:56:11,090 --> 00:56:15,429
- So how much do you want?
- Uh, I don't know.

985
00:56:15,430 --> 00:56:17,999
You... you take
foreign money, right?

986
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:19,630
- Yeah. Yeah.
- Yeah?

987
00:56:19,640 --> 00:56:21,900
Okay. Uh, how much
will this get me?

988
00:56:24,940 --> 00:56:28,079
- Wow, enough to make you crazy.

989
00:56:28,080 --> 00:56:30,840
- Yeah, that's what
I'm talking about.

990
00:56:33,780 --> 00:56:35,479
- Jay.

991
00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:37,519
- I think it's time
to see Boyah again.

992
00:56:37,520 --> 00:56:39,489
- Is that khat?
- No, it's spinach.

993
00:56:39,490 --> 00:56:40,990
Yes, it's khat.

994
00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:06,810
- So tell me, Boyah,
how do you attack?

995
00:57:10,890 --> 00:57:12,220
- We attack in small groups.

996
00:57:14,860 --> 00:57:17,520
- And we circle them
like wolves.

- Okay, um, did you get
a response on my pages?

1014

- Yeah, uh, unfortunately
not everyone here

1015
00:59:32,360 --> 00:59:36,960
is sharing the enthusiasm
I've got for them.

1016
00:59:36,970 --> 00:59:42,969
- Did you say "unfortunately?"
- Yes.

1017
00:59:42,970 --> 00:59:45,069
- Shit.

1018
00:59:45,070 --> 00:59:49,779
- My colleagues feel that
as a book it's missing a hook.

1019
00:59:49,780 --> 00:59:51,609
- A hook?

1020
00:59:51,610 --> 00:59:53,849
Boyah's Captain fucking Hook
minus the eye patch.

1021
00:59:53,850 --> 00:59:55,980
- I know. I'm... I'm as
shocked as you are.

1022
00:59:55,990 --> 00:59:58,889
The material you're getting
is incredible.

1023
00:59:58,890 --> 01:00:00,919
I... I didn't see this coming.

1024
01:00:00,920 --> 01:00:04,259
Look, the three top-selling
books this year are "Twilight,"

1025
01:00:04,260 --> 01:00:08,929
"New Moon," and "Breaking Dawn,"
so don't take it personal.

1026
01:00:08,930 --> 01:00:10,729
We're all up
against vampires, okay?

1027
01:00:10,730 --> 01:00:13,030
- Personal? Avril, these people
are desperate!

1028
01:00:13,040 --> 01:00:15,199
No one is willing to listen
to what they have to say!

1029
01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:17,939
- I'm sorry, Jay. I really am.

1030
01:00:17,940 --> 01:00:21,009
Just know that
I'm on your side, okay?

1031
01:00:21,010 --> 01:00:24,679
- Okay.
- Are you okay?

1032
01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:26,679
- Yeah.

1033
01:00:26,680 --> 01:00:28,749
- Look, I don't... I don't know
if you'd be interested,

1034
01:00:28,750 --> 01:00:32,049
but I've heard that
CBS is willing to pay $1,000

1035
01:00:32,050 --> 01:00:34,759
for any video of hostages
on the ships.

1036
01:00:34,760 --> 01:00:36,120
- Is this your way of saying
it's a dead end

1037
01:00:36,130 --> 01:00:39,189
- with your contacts?
- No.

1038
01:00:39,190 --> 01:00:43,999
I know it's crazy
and borderline sensationalism,

1039
01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:46,169
but it can really
get you out there.

1040
01:00:46,170 --> 01:00:48,339
It could help sell this book.

1041
01:00:48,340 --> 01:00:50,839
Plus I know money
must be tight for you right now.

1042
01:00:50,840 --> 01:00:52,169
I've been there.

1043
01:00:52,170 --> 01:00:56,979
- Right.
- Just keep at it, Jay.

1044
01:00:56,980 --> 01:00:59,710
I'm gonna continue
to push for you on this end.

1045
01:00:59,720 --> 01:01:01,919
There's a book here.

1046
01:01:01,920 --> 01:01:04,989
- Okay. Okay, thanks, Avril.

1047
01:01:04,990 --> 01:01:07,689
- One more little
piece of advice,

1048
01:01:07,690 --> 01:01:10,789
you might want to organize
your cards a little better.

1049
01:01:10,790 --> 01:01:12,929
It's a pet peeve of mine.

1050
01:01:12,930 --> 01:01:18,070
I just... I find it makes your
flow of thoughts more concise.

1051
01:01:26,940 --> 01:01:31,379
- Fuck! Fuck!

1052
01:01:31,380 --> 01:01:34,980
Fucking fuck!

1053
01:01:37,490 --> 01:01:38,989
Hey, bro, uh...

1054
01:01:38,990 --> 01:01:40,789
- Jay.
- Can we talk?

1055
01:01:40,790 --> 01:01:42,119
- Now?
- Yeah.

1056
01:01:42,120 --> 01:01:44,359
- Come.
- Thanks.

1057
01:01:44,360 --> 01:01:46,229
Thanks, man. How you doing?
Sorry to wake you up, man.

1058
01:01:46,230 --> 01:01:50,929
I'm just having a hard time,
man, you know?

1059
01:01:50,930 --> 01:01:52,930
I trust you, man.

1060
01:01:52,940 --> 01:01:54,839
- Thank you.
- No, I mean that, you know?

1061
01:01:54,840 --> 01:01:57,069
Like, I really... I really trust
you because, you know,

1062
01:01:57,070 --> 01:01:58,469
I don't really have
many people that I trust,

1063
01:01:58,470 --> 01:02:00,770
and you're, like,
one of those people, so.

1064
01:02:00,780 --> 01:02:02,439
- Is there something
troubling you, bro?

1065
01:02:02,440 --> 01:02:04,079
- Don't call me bro, please.

1066
01:02:04,080 --> 01:02:05,949
Call me Jay.

1067
01:02:05,950 --> 01:02:07,379
If you still want to call me bro
after I finish telling you

1068
01:02:07,380 --> 01:02:10,480
what I'm telling you,
then that's fine.

1069
01:02:10,490 --> 01:02:11,949
- Okay.
- What I say has to stay

1070
01:02:11,950 --> 01:02:13,489
between us, I mean it.

1071
01:02:13,490 --> 01:02:16,420
- Okay.
- Okay.

1072
01:02:16,430 --> 01:02:19,490
Um, all right,

1073
01:02:19,500 --> 01:02:26,269
Uh...

1074
01:02:26,270 --> 01:02:28,799
I'm not a famous journalist,

1075
01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:32,839
and I don't have a book deal.

1076
01:02:32,840 --> 01:02:36,809
- Okay.
- No, it's not okay.

1077
01:02:36,810 --> 01:02:38,979
Everyone here thinks
I'm a famous reporter.

1078
01:02:38,980 --> 01:02:44,849
That's why I'm here,
but I'm a fucking no one.

1079
01:02:44,850 --> 01:02:47,819
- Jay...

1080
01:02:47,820 --> 01:02:52,059
you are the only reporter

1081
01:02:52,060 --> 01:02:54,229
willing to risk their life

1082
01:02:54,230 --> 01:02:57,499
to show the struggle
of Somali people.

1083
01:02:57,500 --> 01:03:00,999
- Yes, yes, I know,
but you're missing the point.

1084
01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:04,500
I'm not a reporter, okay?

1085
01:03:04,510 --> 01:03:06,109
I thought I could come here

1086
01:03:06,110 --> 01:03:09,079
and get a book deal
or publish some stuff

1087
01:03:09,080 --> 01:03:12,009
once I sent some pages
to editors,

1088
01:03:12,010 --> 01:03:13,810
but they rejected me, man.

1089
01:03:13,820 --> 01:03:15,079
They fucking rejected me
like every other

1090
01:03:15,080 --> 01:03:18,149
piece of shit
I've written! Fuck!

1091
01:03:18,150 --> 01:03:19,989
Sorry. Sorry.

1092
01:03:19,990 --> 01:03:22,989
- They rejected your work?
- Yeah.

1093
01:03:22,990 --> 01:03:24,889
If Farole finds out,
I'm fucking dead.

1094
01:03:24,890 --> 01:03:26,559
I'm dead. He's gonna kill me.

1095
01:03:26,560 --> 01:03:30,060
- Perhaps yes, perhaps no.
- He understands rejection.

1096
01:03:30,070 --> 01:03:31,460
It's a human trait.

1097
01:03:31,470 --> 01:03:34,269
- I shouldn't have
come here, man.

1098
01:03:34,270 --> 01:03:36,369
I'm a fucking idiot.

1099
01:03:36,370 --> 01:03:38,869
- Don't say that, Jay.
- Don't say that.

1100
01:03:38,870 --> 01:03:41,070
- You had no choice.
- Yeah.

1101
01:03:41,080 --> 01:03:42,579
I came here with the noble idea

1102
01:03:42,580 --> 01:03:44,209
of exposing the truth,

1103
01:03:44,210 --> 01:03:49,319
and I lied
to everyone around me.

1104
01:03:49,320 --> 01:03:51,560
- You wake me in the middle
of the night to tell me this?

1105
01:03:55,360 --> 01:03:59,259
- I came here
to ask you a favor.

1106
01:03:59,260 --> 01:04:02,459
- Ask me.
- Yeah, okay.

1107
01:04:02,460 --> 01:04:09,039
I need you to help me get on
a ship and film some hostages.

1108
01:04:09,040 --> 01:04:11,500
- Jay, that is not wise.
- I know it's not wise.

1109
01:04:11,510 --> 01:04:15,539
I know that, but, you know, this
is the only way that people out

1110
01:04:15,540 --> 01:04:20,049
there are gonna give a fuck
about what is going on here.

1111
01:04:20,050 --> 01:04:21,279
It's the only way.

1112
01:04:21,280 --> 01:04:23,019
- I don't believe that.

1113
01:04:23,020 --> 01:04:24,889
- Dude, CBS is willing
to pay $1,000, okay?

1114
01:04:24,890 --> 01:04:26,619
I'll split it with you
if you can get me on a ship.

1115
01:04:26,620 --> 01:04:29,559
I'll split it with you.
That's $500, American dollars.

1116
01:04:29,560 --> 01:04:31,629
That's fucking great money, man.

1117
01:04:31,630 --> 01:04:35,199
- Jay, it's not about money.

1118
01:04:35,200 --> 01:04:38,129
Once you're on the ship,
we cannot protect you.

1119
01:04:38,130 --> 01:04:40,169
The president
won't even allow this.

1120
01:04:40,170 --> 01:04:42,599
- It's CBS.
- It's the biggest network.

1121
01:04:42,600 --> 01:04:44,200
- Yes, and your being

1122
01:04:44,210 --> 01:04:46,470
a famous reporter
getting killed,

1123
01:04:46,480 --> 01:04:49,339
that would seal the fate
for Somali people as terrorists.

1124
01:04:49,340 --> 01:04:51,909
- And I'm not famous.
- Jay, you will be.

1125
01:04:51,910 --> 01:04:54,210
- Abdi, they're not
publishing my words,

1126
01:04:54,220 --> 01:04:56,149
not a single fucking one!

1127
01:04:56,150 --> 01:04:58,419
Nobody gives a flying
fuck about Boyah,

1128
01:04:58,420 --> 01:05:01,019
the struggling fisherman
turned Robin Hood pirate!

1129
01:05:01,020 --> 01:05:02,689
They don't fucking care, man!

1130
01:05:02,690 --> 01:05:05,689
- Do you know Somali clans
used to fight with words

1131
01:05:05,690 --> 01:05:07,429
rather than weapons?

1132
01:05:07,430 --> 01:05:09,059
- I knew that, yes.
- I did a paper on that.

1133
01:05:09,060 --> 01:05:12,469
- So you know our
great freedom fighter,

1134
01:05:12,470 --> 01:05:15,169
the poet warrior Mohammed
Abdullah Hassan, Sayyidka?

1135
01:05:15,170 --> 01:05:16,669
- The English called him
Mad Mullah.

1136
01:05:16,670 --> 01:05:18,709
- Ah, you know of him.

1137
01:05:18,710 --> 01:05:21,609
- Yes, I do, and I also know
that iambic pentameter

1138
01:05:21,610 --> 01:05:24,179
is not gonna solve
this problem, man.

1139
01:05:24,180 --> 01:05:26,479
I got to get on a fucking ship.

1140
01:05:26,480 --> 01:05:28,249
- I will do something better.
- Better?

1141
01:05:28,250 --> 01:05:30,219
What the fuck... what's
better than that?

1142
01:05:30,220 --> 01:05:35,219
- I was working to get you
in a meeting with the Garaad.

1143
01:05:35,220 --> 01:05:36,559
- The Garaad?
- Yes.

1144
01:05:36,560 --> 01:05:38,529
- The godfather of pirates?

1145
01:05:38,530 --> 01:05:42,299
- The man you want to have
crazy sex with his wife.

1146
01:05:42,300 --> 01:05:44,160
- What makes you say that?

1147
01:05:44,170 --> 01:05:47,230
- You don't think all
of Garowe know this?

1148
01:05:47,240 --> 01:05:48,669
- Does Garaad?

1149
01:05:48,670 --> 01:05:51,339
- If he know,
you wouldn't be here.

1150
01:05:51,340 --> 01:05:52,539
- That's comforting.

1151
01:05:52,540 --> 01:05:54,709
- He wants me as a translator,

1152
01:05:54,710 --> 01:05:58,040
so perhaps I trade
for the possibility of him

1153
01:05:58,050 --> 01:05:59,479
and you in a room.

1154
01:05:59,480 --> 01:06:00,710
- Then you're putting
yourself in danger.

1155
01:06:00,720 --> 01:06:02,119
That's... I don't like that.

1156
01:06:02,120 --> 01:06:05,119
- No, no, no, no, mm-mm.

1157
01:06:05,120 --> 01:06:08,289
That's nonsense, Jay.

1158
01:06:08,290 --> 01:06:09,519
- Why you helping me like this?

1159
01:06:09,520 --> 01:06:11,189
Why you doing that?

1160
01:06:11,190 --> 01:06:13,990
- You are my bro.

1161
01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:16,029
I have to help you.

1162
01:06:16,030 --> 01:06:17,129
- Thanks, man.
- Okay?

1163
01:06:17,130 --> 01:06:18,769
- Thank you.

1164
01:06:18,770 --> 01:06:21,569
- You're my bro, Jay.
- Whew, yeah.

1165
01:06:21,570 --> 01:06:24,639
- Don't worry, okay?
- Okay. We're good.

1166
01:06:24,640 --> 01:06:28,270
- Okay. Mm-hmm.
- Have a good night.

1167
01:06:28,280 --> 01:06:32,449
- Edgar Allen Poe, Oscar Wilde,
Herman Melville, H.P. Lovecraft

1168
01:06:32,450 --> 01:06:35,019
all had one thing in common.

1169
01:06:35,020 --> 01:06:39,089
They died broke,
completely penniless,

1170
01:06:39,090 --> 01:06:41,189
so I got to blame
President Farole

1171
01:06:41,190 --> 01:06:43,689
a little bit for not asking
for all his money up front.

1172
01:06:43,690 --> 01:06:46,059
After all, I am a writer,
not an accountant, right?

1173
01:06:46,060 --> 01:06:47,459
Rule number one in life, Asad,

1174
01:06:47,460 --> 01:06:50,260
don't blow all
your money on drugs,

1175
01:06:50,270 --> 01:06:53,530
unless it's definitely gonna
lead to some serious ass

1176
01:06:53,540 --> 01:06:56,369
or a Pulitzer Prize.

1177
01:06:56,370 --> 01:06:59,740
This might not lead to either,
but I'd rather die trying.

1178
01:07:03,810 --> 01:07:07,410
What are you working on?
That me?

1179
01:07:07,420 --> 01:07:09,680
- Yes.

1180
01:07:12,320 --> 01:07:16,789
- That's going up
on the board, buddy.

1181
01:07:16,790 --> 01:07:20,290
Nice. Wish me luck.

1182
01:07:26,440 --> 01:07:33,540
♪

1183
01:07:34,510 --> 01:07:36,540
- Good morning, Maryan.

1184
01:07:36,550 --> 01:07:38,240
- Morning, Jay.

1185
01:07:38,250 --> 01:07:43,080
- Could I have 1 kilo
of your best khat?

1186
01:07:43,090 --> 01:07:47,250
- Best?
- Yes.

1187
01:07:47,260 --> 01:07:50,589
- So what is
the special occasion?

1188
01:07:50,590 --> 01:07:55,729
- Um, I'm going to meet
your husband in Bosaso.

1189
01:07:55,730 --> 01:07:59,869
- So this khat is intended
for my husband?

1190
01:07:59,870 --> 01:08:03,500
- Yes.

1191
01:08:03,510 --> 01:08:07,770
- Okay.
- Is that a problem?

1192
01:08:07,780 --> 01:08:09,739

- Yeah.

1197

- Well, I haven't
seen him in months.

1198
01:08:25,730 --> 01:08:28,659
- Oh. Nothing?

1199
01:08:28,660 --> 01:08:31,329
Even a little tidbit,
anything? Like...

1200
01:08:31,330 --> 01:08:34,830
- Compliment his clothes.
- His clothes?

1201
01:08:34,840 --> 01:08:36,469
- Yeah.

1202
01:08:36,470 --> 01:08:40,439
- He's proud of how he dresses.
- Oh.

1203
01:08:40,440 --> 01:08:46,879
Yes, okay, I'll do that.

1204
01:08:46,880 --> 01:08:51,749
Um, what do you think
of my clothes?

1205
01:08:51,750 --> 01:08:56,259
- They are terribly bland.
- Oh, yeah?

1206
01:08:56,260 --> 01:08:58,220
- Yeah.

1207
01:08:58,230 --> 01:09:00,359
- Maybe you could take me
shopping later.

1208
01:09:00,360 --> 01:09:03,460

Dolce Gabbana.

- Wow.
- Yeah, wow.

1243
01:10:57,010 --> 01:11:02,019
- He wants to know where
you buy this khat from.

1244
01:11:02,020 --> 01:11:03,919
- Where?
- Where.

1245
01:11:03,920 --> 01:11:05,920
- In the market in Garowe.

1246
01:11:15,000 --> 01:11:17,660
- He thought so. You got it
from one of his close dealers,

1247
01:11:17,670 --> 01:11:21,599
so now he doesn't want
to waste a bullet in you.

1248
01:11:21,600 --> 01:11:27,409
- Good.
- Thank you for not killing me.

1249
01:11:27,410 --> 01:11:30,009
Uh, don't tell him that.

1250
01:11:30,010 --> 01:11:33,610
So, uh, tell me about yourself,
Garaad. Is this okay?

1251
01:11:33,620 --> 01:11:37,480
Yes, yes.

1252
01:11:45,090 --> 01:11:47,660
- He have more
than 800 hijackers.

1253
01:11:51,970 --> 01:11:55,099
- That is spread
from Bosaso to Eyl.

1254
01:11:55,100 --> 01:11:57,369
- That is a lot.
- Very impressive.

1255
01:11:57,370 --> 01:11:58,810
Very impressive.

1256
01:12:00,610 --> 01:12:03,579
- Now, um, I recently did
an interview with Boyah,

1257
01:12:03,580 --> 01:12:04,840
who's sort of a...

1258
01:12:08,420 --> 01:12:10,819

anything about Boyah.

no one, you know?

I understand you're a very
different man from him,

1262
01:12:17,730 --> 01:12:19,659
and I was just wondering if you

1263
01:12:19,660 --> 01:12:21,430
could maybe elaborate on that.

1264
01:12:32,770 --> 01:12:38,040
- With his group,
it's a must to destroy anyone

1265
01:12:38,050 --> 01:12:41,049
and everyone that's
doing illegal fishing.

1266
01:12:41,050 --> 01:12:44,819
- Is it fair to say
that any ship

1267
01:12:44,820 --> 01:12:46,619
that is traveling your waters,

1268
01:12:46,620 --> 01:12:50,720
be it fishing, cargo,

1269
01:12:50,730 --> 01:12:57,100
yacht, that ship is fair game
for your organization to take?

1270
01:13:09,080 --> 01:13:11,080
- It doesn't matter
who they are.

1271
01:13:13,150 --> 01:13:14,949
- They are doing
something wrong.

1272
01:13:14,950 --> 01:13:19,649
They should be punished.

1273
01:13:19,650 --> 01:13:23,520
And we will keep going
till our seas are cleansed

1274
01:13:23,530 --> 01:13:25,629
of illegal fishing vessels.

1275
01:13:25,630 --> 01:13:27,659

- Can you come back?

1276
01:13:27,660 --> 01:13:29,429

We're going to Eyl.

- Eyl?
- Yes.

01:13:42,680 --> 01:13:45,109
- Um, I got to get this Garaad
interview out, buddy.

1282
01:13:45,110 --> 01:13:46,910
- The ship will not
wait for you.

1283
01:13:46,920 --> 01:13:48,549
- A ship?
- Yes.

1284
01:13:48,550 --> 01:13:49,879
There is a German freighter
called Victoria

1285
01:13:49,880 --> 01:13:51,580
being held in the harbor.

1286
01:13:51,590 --> 01:13:53,519
The pirate in charge
is a friend of Colonel Omar.

1287
01:13:53,520 --> 01:13:54,520

wait, wait, wait, wait.

1289

- You want to be on the ship?

1290
01:13:58,860 --> 01:14:00,559
- Yeah.
- Because I had to fight

1293
01:14:03,870 --> 01:14:05,629
- Dude, I thought you were
against me getting on a ship.

1294
01:14:05,630 --> 01:14:08,839
- I am.
- Farole tell me to collect $500

1295
01:14:08,840 --> 01:14:10,669
from you for costs
before you leave.

1296

in that spot, but...

1302
01:14:21,880 --> 01:14:24,180
- Yeah, you spent it
on pirate drugs.

1303
01:14:24,190 --> 01:14:25,989
- Yeah, the pirates don't,

1304

without the drug.

1360
01:19:48,140 --> 01:19:50,580
Correct.

1361
01:19:55,020 --> 01:19:57,880
- That ship is
the last one here.

1362
01:19:57,890 --> 01:20:01,989
Everyone in Eyl
will be happy to see them go.

1363
01:20:01,990 --> 01:20:03,820
- Do you think they'll
be leaving soon?

1364
01:20:03,830 --> 01:20:06,859
- That's what we have heard,
so they will leave soon.

1365
01:20:06,860 --> 01:20:08,929
- Okay.
- Mr. Bahadur's book

1366
01:20:08,930 --> 01:20:11,129
is going to shed
new lights on Somalia.

1367
01:20:11,130 --> 01:20:13,469
- Hmm.
- And so the president is very,

1368
01:20:13,470 --> 01:20:15,469
very excited, real excited.

1369
01:20:15,470 --> 01:20:17,039
- Oh? Oh.

1370
01:20:17,040 --> 01:20:20,939
- Have you read any of it,
Colonel Omar?

1371
01:20:20,940 --> 01:20:25,179
- No, actually, but I trust
it will be good, very good.

1372
01:20:25,180 --> 01:20:27,949
Won't it, Mr. Bahadur?

1373
01:20:27,950 --> 01:20:31,949
- Yes. It's exciting,
a very exciting story

1374
01:20:31,950 --> 01:20:35,089
and... and very informative,
lot of different levels.

1375
01:20:35,090 --> 01:20:37,359
It's... it's... very exciting.

1376
01:20:37,360 --> 01:20:38,920
- Mr. Bahadur,

1377
01:20:38,930 --> 01:20:42,599
I'm a spokesperson
for the women of Eyl.

1378
01:20:42,600 --> 01:20:44,460
Our children need education.

1379
01:20:44,470 --> 01:20:47,369
Our schools have been lost,

1380
01:20:47,370 --> 01:20:51,639
never rebuilded
after the tsunami.

1381
01:20:51,640 --> 01:20:55,570
Will your book talk of this?

1382
01:20:55,580 --> 01:20:57,379
- Yes.
- Good.

1383
01:20:57,380 --> 01:21:00,310
Thank you. Good.

1384
01:21:04,050 --> 01:21:08,219
- What is the name of your book?

1385
01:21:08,220 --> 01:21:10,319
- I'm still working on it,

1386
01:21:10,320 --> 01:21:12,289
- still trying to figure that out.
- Oh.

1387
01:21:12,290 --> 01:21:16,529
- Jay is
perfectionist with his words.

1388
01:21:16,530 --> 01:21:18,429
- Oh. We will see.

1389
01:21:18,430 --> 01:21:21,199
- I am Reer Jarfale,
son of Levish.

1390
01:21:21,200 --> 01:21:26,940
- Reer Jarfale!

1391
01:21:32,580 --> 01:21:35,579
- You might want to
save your battery.

1392
01:21:35,580 --> 01:21:40,950
- Yeah, that's probably
a good idea.

1393
01:21:40,960 --> 01:21:42,550
You think I'll get on?

1394
01:21:42,560 --> 01:21:47,629
- The man in charge of the
operation is named Computer.

1395
01:21:47,630 --> 01:21:50,229
They say he is psychic.

1396
01:21:50,230 --> 01:21:55,130
- Psychic? Is that good or bad?

1397
01:21:57,470 --> 01:22:04,379
- The colonel's contact on
the ship thinks it will happen.

1398
01:22:04,380 --> 01:22:08,010
- All right.

1399
01:22:08,020 --> 01:22:11,580
I am scared, Abdi.

1400
01:22:11,590 --> 01:22:15,689
Shit, man, I mean,
there's no other way.

1401
01:22:15,690 --> 01:22:18,289
I hope you understand that.

1402
01:22:18,290 --> 01:22:22,190
- This is the path
you choose as a man.

1403
01:22:22,200 --> 01:22:28,069
It's not for me to understand.

1404
01:22:28,070 --> 01:22:30,239
I am going to sleep now.

1405
01:22:30,240 --> 01:22:33,040
- All right. Good night, buddy.

1406
01:22:37,240 --> 01:22:39,710
Fucking A.

1407
01:22:59,330 --> 01:23:01,269
- You stay here, man.
- I will do the talking.

1408
01:23:01,270 --> 01:23:06,139
- Okay.
- Don't worry, brother.

1409
01:23:06,140 --> 01:23:08,009
- Okay.
- We'll make this work.

1410
01:23:08,010 --> 01:23:11,740
- Good. Good, thank you.

1411
01:23:37,800 --> 01:23:40,370
- Okay.

1412
01:23:48,280 --> 01:23:50,419
Is he saying no?

1413
01:23:50,420 --> 01:23:53,050
Fuck!

1414
01:23:55,820 --> 01:23:57,720
I'm a journalist,
don't fucking shoot!

1415
01:23:57,730 --> 01:24:00,129
I'm a journalist, it's okay!
Don't fucking shoot me!

1416
01:24:00,130 --> 01:24:01,659
Okay?

1417
01:24:01,660 --> 01:24:03,359
The money is gonna come faster

1418
01:24:03,360 --> 01:24:05,799
if you let me video
the hostages, all right?

1419
01:24:05,800 --> 01:24:07,730
Please don't shoot me.
Please don't shoot.

1420
01:24:07,740 --> 01:24:10,599
Please don't sh...

1421
01:24:10,600 --> 01:24:12,200
If you let me video,

1422
01:24:12,210 --> 01:24:13,469
the world will see
you're serious.

1423
01:24:13,470 --> 01:24:15,509
The world will see you
are serious,

1424
01:24:15,510 --> 01:24:17,780
and the shippers
will settle. Okay?

1425
01:24:19,310 --> 01:24:20,310
- Tell your leader
Computer that.

1426
01:24:20,311 --> 01:24:21,779
Tell him that! Please!

1427
01:24:21,780 --> 01:24:23,479
Please, okay?
It's true. It's true.

1428
01:24:23,480 --> 01:24:24,819
The money's gonna come
so much faster

1429
01:24:24,820 --> 01:24:26,549
if you let me video, okay?

1430
01:24:26,550 --> 01:24:30,120
All right? It's true, I
promise. I promise, okay?

1431
01:24:37,100 --> 01:24:39,360
- I will talk to Computer.
- What you say could make sense.

1432
01:24:39,370 --> 01:24:40,799
- Good.
- Come back tomorrow for answer.

1433
01:24:40,800 --> 01:24:42,399
- Okay. Okay, great.
- Go. Move.

1434
01:24:42,400 --> 01:24:43,640
- Thank you.

1435
01:24:50,610 --> 01:24:52,640
Abdi, did you see that shit?

1436
01:24:52,650 --> 01:24:53,809
- Oh, that was dangerous,
brother.

1437
01:24:53,810 --> 01:24:57,349
You didn't have to come out.

1438
01:24:57,350 --> 01:24:59,280
That was dangerous.

1439
01:24:59,290 --> 01:25:03,119
- Fuck, dude. Oh, fuck.

1440
01:25:03,120 --> 01:25:06,229
Whoo! That's what
I'm talking about, Omar!

1441
01:25:06,230 --> 01:25:07,459
- What was that?

1442
01:25:07,460 --> 01:25:08,829
- What do you mean
what was that?

1443
01:25:08,830 --> 01:25:10,529
- I told you not to
come down there!

1444
01:25:10,530 --> 01:25:12,460
- What was that?
- You weren't gonna get me on.

1445
01:25:12,470 --> 01:25:13,629
- Don't do this, man.
- You weren't gonna get me on.

1446
01:25:13,630 --> 01:25:15,199
You weren't gonna get shit.

1447
01:25:15,200 --> 01:25:16,769
- When are you going
to listen, man?

1448
01:25:16,770 --> 01:25:18,839
- I just got out there,
and I made it happen

1449
01:25:18,840 --> 01:25:20,609
'cause that's what
I'm doing these days, baby!

1450
01:25:20,610 --> 01:25:21,870
- I'm making shit happen!
- You never listen, man!

1451
01:25:21,880 --> 01:25:23,739
Hey, hey, wake up, Mr. Bahadur.

1452
01:25:23,740 --> 01:25:24,809
- Wake up, wake up, wake up.
- What?

1453
01:25:24,810 --> 01:25:26,249
- Wake up right now, man.

1454
01:25:26,250 --> 01:25:27,510
- We're in?
- Right now.

1455
01:25:27,520 --> 01:25:30,320
- We're on. All right.

1456
01:25:37,820 --> 01:25:39,759
It's gone.

1457
01:25:39,760 --> 01:25:44,160
- Next time you follow
my orders, man.

1458
01:25:44,170 --> 01:25:47,469
They thought you were CIA.

1459
01:25:47,470 --> 01:25:49,639
- You fucking serious? CIA?
- Yeah.

1460
01:25:49,640 --> 01:25:51,239
- Me?
- Of course.

1461
01:25:51,240 --> 01:25:54,510
- Fuck! Fuck.

1462
01:26:00,510 --> 01:26:07,620
♪

1463
01:26:15,400 --> 01:26:18,929
Abdi, not now!

1464
01:26:18,930 --> 01:26:24,800
- He say he's your father.
- He call my phone.

1465
01:26:24,810 --> 01:26:26,209
- My father?

1466
01:26:26,210 --> 01:26:27,639
- Yes.
- Really?

1467
01:26:27,640 --> 01:26:29,840
He called my phone.

1468
01:26:33,810 --> 01:26:35,979
- Hello? Dad?

1469
01:26:35,980 --> 01:26:37,849
- Jesus, Jay, thank God
you're okay.

1470
01:26:37,850 --> 01:26:39,789
We've been watching this whole
Captain Phillips

1471
01:26:39,790 --> 01:26:41,750
hostage thing on CNN.

1472
01:26:41,760 --> 01:26:43,519
You've got to get
the hell out of there.

1473
01:26:43,520 --> 01:26:45,489
- Dad, I'm fine.
- What are you talking about?

1474
01:26:45,490 --> 01:26:47,289
- Those pirates are crazy.

1475
01:26:47,290 --> 01:26:48,859
They're threatening
to kill Americans.

1476
01:26:48,860 --> 01:26:50,529
- Dad, I'm Canadian.

1477
01:26:50,530 --> 01:26:51,799
I thought at least
you would know that.

1478
01:26:51,800 --> 01:26:53,529
- Not a time for joking, Jay.

1479
01:26:53,530 --> 01:26:55,569
We want you on
the next plane out.

1480
01:26:55,570 --> 01:26:58,269
- Dad, I understand your
concern,

1481
01:26:58,270 --> 01:26:59,869
but it's gonna be okay.

1482
01:26:59,870 --> 01:27:01,739
It's not a big deal.

1483
01:27:01,740 --> 01:27:03,479
- Jay, sweetheart, you need
to come home.

1484
01:27:03,480 --> 01:27:04,779
- Hi, Mom.

1485
01:27:04,780 --> 01:27:06,779
I was just telling Dad I'm fine.

1486
01:27:06,780 --> 01:27:09,449
- But we're watching CNN
right now, and it is not fine.

1487
01:27:09,450 --> 01:27:13,619
- Mom, the media is probably
spinning some bullshit tale.

1488
01:27:13,620 --> 01:27:15,550
I've heard nothing
about it here.

1489
01:27:15,560 --> 01:27:17,559
- It must be the opium.

1490
01:27:17,560 --> 01:27:19,420
He's probably become
one of those child soldiers.

1491
01:27:19,430 --> 01:27:21,259
- You're going to kill
your mother, Jay,

1492
01:27:21,260 --> 01:27:24,399
unless you say
you're going to come home.

1493
01:27:24,400 --> 01:27:27,999
- Okay, but I need money wired.

1494
01:27:28,000 --> 01:27:29,430
- Money?
- See?

1495
01:27:29,440 --> 01:27:31,269
It's the opium, I told you.

1496
01:27:31,270 --> 01:27:32,769
- Yeah, I didn't want to ask
you guys, but, you know,

1497
01:27:32,770 --> 01:27:38,440
I'm really... I don't really
have a choice.

1498
01:27:38,450 --> 01:27:40,710
Somalia's expensive. Who knew?

1499
01:27:46,520 --> 01:27:48,650
- Reports are now three
U.S. Navy ships

1500
01:27:48,660 --> 01:27:51,559
are steaming toward
the Maersk Alabama.

1501
01:27:51,560 --> 01:27:54,890
Taken by pirates...

1502
01:27:54,900 --> 01:27:57,559
- The destroyer,
the USS Bainbridge,

1503
01:27:57,560 --> 01:27:59,560
is on the scene.

1504
01:27:59,570 --> 01:28:01,499
- Apparently Captain Phillips,
the ship's captain,

1505
01:28:01,500 --> 01:28:03,899
has been taken hostage
by the fleeing pirates

1506
01:28:03,900 --> 01:28:05,569
in a covered lifeboat.

1507
01:28:05,570 --> 01:28:11,640
- The pirates have been...

1508
01:28:11,650 --> 01:28:13,579
The hostage standoff

1509
01:28:13,580 --> 01:28:15,949
ended today with the death
of the three pirates

1510
01:28:15,950 --> 01:28:18,419
and the eventual release
of their hostage,

1511
01:28:18,420 --> 01:28:19,889
Captain Richard Phillips.

1512
01:28:19,890 --> 01:28:21,619
- Somali pirates...
- Somali pirates

1513
01:28:21,620 --> 01:28:23,659
throughout the country
reacted angrily,

1514
01:28:23,660 --> 01:28:25,889
saying they will capture
and kill any foreigners

1515
01:28:25,890 --> 01:28:29,759
they find to avenge
their comrades' death.

1516
01:28:29,760 --> 01:28:33,799
- At this time no one is
taking credit for the operation.

1517
01:28:33,800 --> 01:28:37,939
We will get answers soon because
my father is demanding it.

1518
01:28:37,940 --> 01:28:42,109
- Mr. Farole, three pirates have
been killed by the Americans.

1519
01:28:42,110 --> 01:28:43,779
There is going to be revenge,

1520
01:28:43,780 --> 01:28:45,109
and it's too dangerous
for Mr. Bahadur

1521
01:28:45,110 --> 01:28:46,849
to remain here in Garowe.

1522
01:28:46,850 --> 01:28:48,979
- No, it's not.
- I will keep a low profile.

1523
01:28:48,980 --> 01:28:50,549
- Just like you did in Eyl?

1524
01:28:50,550 --> 01:28:51,849
- Eyl was a mistake, okay?

1525
01:28:51,850 --> 01:28:53,519
- You keep saying
it was a mistake.

1526
01:28:53,520 --> 01:28:55,389
- I messed up.
- I'm sorry about that.

1527
01:28:55,390 --> 01:28:56,919
- It was a mistake.
- I was a little high strung.

1528
01:28:56,920 --> 01:28:58,889
- Don't be telling this.

and I'm all good now.

1530
01:29:00,060 --> 01:29:01,729
I'm not gonna do that again.

1531
01:29:01,730 --> 01:29:03,099
- Mr. Bahadur, I agree
with the Colonel, okay?

1532
01:29:03,100 --> 01:29:05,660
I think we have to
get you out of here.

We do not need any harm coming
to you. Do you understand that?

- Do you understand that?

1535

I understand that, okay?

for my safety.

1537

like you understand.

- Madness.

- Khat?

1547
01:29:34,160 --> 01:29:35,990
- Khat is not eating
my fucking brain.

1548
01:29:36,000 --> 01:29:37,799

- There's no one else here

- Mr. Bahadur, calm down!

somebody on his side!

And today it's very sad.

the size of a man's heart.

your lover's heart.

someone else.

01:41:36,250 --> 01:41:37,649
- I was messing
with you that day.

1702
01:41:37,650 --> 01:41:39,519
- Six months?
- You didn't tell me?

1703
01:41:39,520 --> 01:41:41,389
- The look on your face.

1704
01:41:41,390 --> 01:41:45,420
- I'm doing this forever.
- What this thing mean?

1705
01:41:45,430 --> 01:41:49,129
- This means hope.
- Hope?

1706
01:41:49,130 --> 01:41:50,429
- Yes.

1707
01:41:50,430 --> 01:41:52,829
- Okay, I will spread
that message.

1708
01:41:52,830 --> 01:41:56,230
- Please do.
- Yes. Take care

1709
01:42:07,880 --> 01:42:11,880
- They say in Somalia,
every man is his own sultan.

1710
01:42:11,890 --> 01:42:17,190
Then in my mind, Abdi was
a glorious kind among sultans.

1711
01:42:26,170 --> 01:42:29,569
Upon landing back in the cell
zone known as Toronto, Canada,

1712
01:42:29,570 --> 01:42:32,739
I got 234 unopened
text messages.

1713
01:42:32,740 --> 01:42:35,209
165 were from news services

1714
01:42:35,210 --> 01:42:37,709
offering
to buy my Garaad interview.

1715
01:42:37,710 --> 01:42:41,549
Eight were from publishers
wanting to buy my book rights,

1716
01:42:41,550 --> 01:42:45,550
and four of them
were from Tracy.

1717
01:42:49,960 --> 01:42:51,589
I decided if she really
wanted to know

1718
01:42:51,590 --> 01:42:54,329
what was going on in my life,

1719
01:42:54,330 --> 01:42:57,329
she could read about it.

1720
01:42:57,330 --> 01:42:59,560
- Excuse me.
- Can I see your passport?

1721
01:42:59,570 --> 01:43:02,230
- Passport?

1722
01:43:07,270 --> 01:43:10,340
- Follow me, please.

1723
01:43:20,520 --> 01:43:22,850
- Hello, Mr. Bahadur.
- Hello.

1724
01:43:22,860 --> 01:43:25,320
- My name's Agent Brice.
- I'm with CSIS.

1725
01:43:25,330 --> 01:43:29,959
- Okay. Uh, is... am I in
some sort of trouble?

1726
01:43:29,960 --> 01:43:31,929
- Quite the opposite.

1727
01:43:31,930 --> 01:43:34,669
We're very anxious to learn
if you could give us any insight

1728
01:43:34,670 --> 01:43:39,400
that you may have gained
while in Somalia.

1729
01:43:39,410 --> 01:43:42,339
- Wait, you want me
to give you insight?

1730
01:43:42,340 --> 01:43:45,579
- Look, uh, both the U.S.
- and the Canadian intelligence

1731
01:43:45,580 --> 01:43:49,810
are basically flying blind
in the region,

1732
01:43:49,820 --> 01:43:53,249
so we could use some help.

1733
01:43:53,250 --> 01:43:55,389
- Oh, my God.

1734
01:43:55,390 --> 01:43:58,720
Wow. Okay.

1735
01:43:58,730 --> 01:44:02,259
Uh, this... my parents are, uh,
doing the circling thing.

1736
01:44:02,260 --> 01:44:04,659
- Right, okay. All right,
well, uh, tell you what.

1737
01:44:04,660 --> 01:44:08,870
Why don't you give me a call
when you're settled in?

1738
01:44:12,870 --> 01:44:16,809
- Toronto had stayed perfectly
intact despite my absence.

1739
01:44:16,810 --> 01:44:18,809
I couldn't vouch for
the napkin patterns

1740
01:44:18,810 --> 01:44:21,749
inside each home we drove past,

1741
01:44:21,750 --> 01:44:23,849
but I had to guess
my painstaking research

1742
01:44:23,850 --> 01:44:25,950
did little to alter
the landscape.

1743
01:44:30,620 --> 01:44:32,359
- We don't want to upset you.

1744
01:44:32,360 --> 01:44:33,889
We did not know
how to tell you this.

1745
01:44:33,890 --> 01:44:36,629
- Jared's been living
in the basement.

1746
01:44:36,630 --> 01:44:38,459
- What?

1747
01:44:38,460 --> 01:44:41,699
- Well, you've been gone
for six months, sweetheart.

1748
01:44:41,700 --> 01:44:43,569
So, you know, um, he's sleeping

1749
01:44:43,570 --> 01:44:45,469
because he has exams
in the morning,

1750
01:44:45,470 --> 01:44:47,469
so it's best that you enter
through the front door.

1751
01:44:47,470 --> 01:44:49,039
- Can I still use the shower,

1752
01:44:49,040 --> 01:44:51,079
or are the pipes
gonna wake him too?

1753
01:44:51,080 --> 01:44:56,349
- I think tonight we can
make an exception.

1754
01:44:56,350 --> 01:44:59,019
Fuck Harvard!

1755
01:44:59,020 --> 01:45:02,750
- Oh, my God!

1756
01:45:04,860 --> 01:45:08,959
- Fuck Harvard!

1757
01:45:08,960 --> 01:45:10,590
- I've never heard
you swear before.

1758
01:45:10,600 --> 01:45:12,629
- Yeah, well, it's true.
- Fuck 'em.

1759
01:45:12,630 --> 01:45:14,729
My Jay beat all the odds,

1760
01:45:14,730 --> 01:45:16,069
and you're gonna
win the Pulitzer

1761
01:45:16,070 --> 01:45:18,939
from writing it in our basement.

1762
01:45:18,940 --> 01:45:22,670
- To Jay and his fucking
basement Pulitzer!

1763
01:45:22,680 --> 01:45:24,639
- Yeah!

1764
01:45:24,640 --> 01:45:27,649
- Who's idea
was "Fuck Harvard?"

1765
01:45:27,650 --> 01:45:30,949
- Bahadur, you better tell me
you got laid at least

1766
01:45:30,950 --> 01:45:33,719
once over there, or I'm leaving.

1767
01:45:33,720 --> 01:45:36,550
On second thought,
don't tell me.

1768
01:45:36,560 --> 01:45:37,920
Booze is too good to leave.

1769
01:45:39,690 --> 01:45:43,729
- You guys want to see
something really cool?

1770
01:45:43,730 --> 01:45:45,829
- Wow.

1771
01:45:45,830 --> 01:45:50,369
You should see
what he does with the bottle.

1772
01:45:50,370 --> 01:45:54,739
- Would I like mine
so... hey, man.

1773
01:45:54,740 --> 01:45:56,539
- What are you mumbling about?

1774
01:45:56,540 --> 01:45:58,879
- Well, I'm just thinking
aloud, you know?

1775
01:45:58,880 --> 01:46:02,649
- Okay. I like that.
- I like that.

1776
01:46:02,650 --> 01:46:07,119
- So what's next, Bahadur?
- Next?

1777
01:46:07,120 --> 01:46:10,959
- What's gonna keep you from
spending all your nights

1778
01:46:10,960 --> 01:46:14,129
in the shadow of those guys?

1779
01:46:14,130 --> 01:46:17,659
- Well, I got a ton of work
to do on the book.

1780
01:46:17,660 --> 01:46:19,929
- After the book?
- After?

1781
01:46:19,930 --> 01:46:22,999
- Yeah.

1782
01:46:23,000 --> 01:46:26,839
- Take a look at that.

1783
01:46:26,840 --> 01:46:30,909
- 70-year-old men don't get
handed fucking business cards

1784
01:46:30,910 --> 01:46:33,740
for a reason unless
it's a last rites priest.

1785
01:46:33,750 --> 01:46:35,109
What's it say?

1786
01:46:35,110 --> 01:46:39,519
- Agent T. Brice, CSIS.
- CSIS?

1787
01:46:39,520 --> 01:46:41,449
- Yeah.
- They talked to you?

1788
01:46:41,450 --> 01:46:46,820
- Yes, they did.
- What'd they say?

1789
01:46:46,830 --> 01:46:50,859
- They were anxious to listen
to what I learned over there.

1790
01:46:50,860 --> 01:46:52,760
- Anxious, huh?
- Mm-hmm.

1791
01:46:52,770 --> 01:46:54,929
- Anxious?
- Mm-hmm.

1792
01:46:54,930 --> 01:47:00,909
- Could bring an opportunity.
- That's what I think.

1793
01:47:00,910 --> 01:47:03,109
- Oh.
- Hmm?

1794
01:47:03,110 --> 01:47:06,440
- Christ, you haven't smoked
this fucker yet?

1795
01:47:06,450 --> 01:47:08,079
- Not yet.
- I've been tempted though.

1796
01:47:08,080 --> 01:47:11,080
- You're hopeless.
- Give me the fucking thing.

1797
01:47:15,620 --> 01:47:17,689
- That's Somali?
- Yes.

1798
01:47:17,690 --> 01:47:21,529
- What does it mean?
- "Tonight, we drink."

1799
01:47:21,530 --> 01:47:23,029
- Oh, that's good to hear.

1800
01:47:23,030 --> 01:47:25,899
I thought you were gonna say,
"Tonight we fuck."

1801
01:47:25,900 --> 01:47:33,000
♪

1802
01:47:38,510 --> 01:47:40,009
- Please have a seat.

1803
01:47:40,010 --> 01:47:42,680
- Thank you.

1804
01:47:47,550 --> 01:47:52,220
- State your name and work
position for the committee.

1805
01:47:52,230 --> 01:47:53,920
- Sure.

1806
01:47:53,930 --> 01:47:55,859
My name is Jay Bahadur.

1807
01:47:55,860 --> 01:47:57,190
I'm a Canadian citizen

1808
01:47:57,200 --> 01:47:58,860
currently living
in Nairobi, Kenya.

1809
01:47:58,870 --> 01:48:00,129
I'm running
"The Somalia Report,"

1810
01:48:00,130 --> 01:48:02,029
which is the largest and in fact

1811
01:48:02,030 --> 01:48:05,169
the only English-language
news site devoted to Somalia.

1812
01:48:05,170 --> 01:48:07,000
- Mr. Bahadur, you're
considered

1813
01:48:07,010 --> 01:48:08,569
one of the foremost experts

1814
01:48:08,570 --> 01:48:12,840
on Somali piracy, are you not?

1815
01:48:12,850 --> 01:48:15,879
- I have some knowledge, sir.
- Some knowledge

1816
01:48:15,880 --> 01:48:17,779
would be an understatement.

1817
01:48:17,780 --> 01:48:19,849
Your book on piracy's currently
on "The New York Times'"

1818
01:48:19,850 --> 01:48:22,189
bestseller list, is it not?

1819
01:48:22,190 --> 01:48:24,859
- Yes, that's true, sir.
- In your opinion,

1820
01:48:24,860 --> 01:48:26,720
what's the most
effective way for us

1821
01:48:26,730 --> 01:48:29,590
to combat
this current piracy trend

1822
01:48:29,600 --> 01:48:33,299
and make shipping lanes
safe for our vessels?

1823
01:48:33,300 --> 01:48:36,969
- Well, that's a very
general question, sir.

1824
01:48:36,970 --> 01:48:43,209
- Well, your best answer's
all we ask, sir.

1825
01:48:43,210 --> 01:48:45,809
- Okay.

1826
01:48:45,810 --> 01:48:47,679
I know there's a lot
of collective knowledge

1827
01:48:47,680 --> 01:48:49,810
in this room, so I apologize
if what I'm about to say

1828
01:48:49,820 --> 01:48:51,849
is old news to some of you.

1829
01:48:51,850 --> 01:48:54,819
I did a paper on the subject
my freshman year at university,

1830
01:48:54,820 --> 01:48:56,619
and it just stuck with me.

1831
01:48:56,620 --> 01:48:59,559
- A school paper?

1832
01:48:59,560 --> 01:49:01,289
- Yes.
- Are we gonna hear

1833
01:49:01,290 --> 01:49:04,159
your grade too?

1834
01:49:04,160 --> 01:49:07,569
- No, sir, that is classified.

1835
01:49:07,570 --> 01:49:11,999
Um, in 2002 Somaliland
held an election

1836
01:49:12,000 --> 01:49:15,839
where the minority clan won the
presidential office by 80 votes,

1837
01:49:15,840 --> 01:49:19,840
and the transition of power
was completely peaceful,

1838
01:49:19,850 --> 01:49:22,749
no violence, not one shot fired.

1839
01:49:22,750 --> 01:49:24,719
That doesn't happen
anywhere in Africa.

1840
01:49:24,720 --> 01:49:27,049
That doesn't even happen here.

1841
01:49:27,050 --> 01:49:31,019
Anyway, it caught my eye
and made me start

1842
01:49:31,020 --> 01:49:32,620
to fall in love with Somalia

1843
01:49:32,630 --> 01:49:34,089
and ultimately made me

1844
01:49:34,090 --> 01:49:36,590
go there to find out
what made them different.

1845
01:49:36,600 --> 01:49:38,229
After spending
my last five years

1846
01:49:38,230 --> 01:49:41,169
immersed in their
country's struggles,

1847
01:49:41,170 --> 01:49:45,639
they don't need your
warships off their coast.

1848
01:49:45,640 --> 01:49:48,809
What they need is to be
recognized by all of you

1849
01:49:48,810 --> 01:49:54,179
for the incredibly complex but
honorable culture that they are.

1850
01:49:54,180 --> 01:49:56,879
A fledgling democracy doesn't
make headlines like pirates do.

1851
01:49:56,880 --> 01:49:58,379
You guys wouldn't be
sitting here talking to me

1852
01:49:58,380 --> 01:50:00,319
if I wrote a book
on a fledgling democracy.

1853
01:50:00,320 --> 01:50:02,049
Hell, I couldn't even
afford this suit

1854
01:50:02,050 --> 01:50:05,859
if I wrote a book
on a fledgling democracy.

1855
01:50:05,860 --> 01:50:09,129
All I'm asking is that you guys
start to look at Somalia

1856
01:50:09,130 --> 01:50:10,929
in a different way,

1857
01:50:10,930 --> 01:50:13,899
not so much as them versus us,

1858
01:50:13,900 --> 01:50:18,139
but rather look at Somalia as us

1859
01:50:18,140 --> 01:50:20,970
