In this episode, we examine 19-year-old Abduwali Muse and three fellow bandits hijacking a ship off the coast of Somalia. They kidnapped its captain, Richard Phillips, setting off a legendary showdown. During the same week in 1881, 21-year-old cattle rustler, horse thief, and murderer known as Billy the Kid was sentenced to death. But his story was far from over. Today, Billy the Kid remains a Wild West legend.
