Confrontation Over Plans and Consequences
Captain Phillips
There's a reason your boss took off and isn't coming back. He didn't wanna take on the Navy. He's gone. He's left you alone. You had a plan to take my ship. That didn't work, so you thought you could take me?
Muse
Shut up.
Captain Phillips
Make a run to Somalia? They got the Navy out there. You gotta give up. You gotta stop.
