49 (2023) Movie Script
WEBVTLet the people live so that the state can live
Sheikh Edebali
The advance of the Islamic State
of Iraq militants to Mosul continues.
While it's claimed that militias affiliated
with The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria
Sources have reported that they are approaching
the city of Mosul.
There are also reports that ISIS militants
continue to clash with
the security forces in a struggle
to take control of the entire city.
Allahu Akbar!
MOSUL CONSULATE BUILDING
They are around the consulate building.
They've started to surround it.
Their numbers are increasing.
There are 49 of us.
Employees and civilians.
And one child.
The daughter of one of the clerks.
Allahu Akbar!
Front door, pull back!
Pull back to position!
We're pulling back.
They 're not answering.
We can't get a response
from the local security forces.
I await your orders, sir!
Iraqi forces have left the city.
Mosul has fallen.
Get inside!
Pull back! Get inside!
Come on, c'mon.
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon.
Brother Mustafa, get inside.
You have no way to defend
the place by yourselves.
You're going to surrender.
Sir, we have plenty of ammo.
We can defend it to the last drop of our blood.
The lives of everyone there is at stake.
I repeat, you will surrender.
That is an order!
Yes, sir!
Calm down!
I'm going to take care
of everything, calm down!
There is nothing else we can do now!
Everyone needs to be calm.
Don't anyone do anything.
Calm down, be calm.
Alright, be calm!
Shut up!
Shut it!
As of now, this is our land!
If you follow orders,
your lives will be spared!
Do you understand?
-We understand.
-We understand.
Brothers, Commander Ferec wants them all alive.
Act accordingly.
Alright.
C'mon, cuff them! Come on!
C'mon, cuff them!
Commander Ferec
Mosul is ours now.
We have captured all of the
Turkish consulate employees alive.
Perfect.
Take the prisoners to the
safe location, wait for my orders.
Yes, sir, Commander Ferec.
Our friends will be very happy about this.
BASED ON A TRUE STORY
Is there any information about
the health of the hostages?
What is their latest status?
So far, we have not received any
negative information on the subject.
Yes.
How many hostages are there?
Different numbers are being pronounced.
What is the exact number?
We are guessing there are about 45-50 people.
The exact number it will be
shared with you when we know.
Sir, is there any information about
where the hostages are being held?
Unfortunately, we don't have
any confirmed information.
But my colleagues are working on this subject.
MOSUL
Hasan El Kadim.
He's been using the name Abu Ferec
since he has joined the organization.
He was an officer during Saddam's rule.
He was successful in the Iran army.
But after the Gulf War, he
disappeared for a long time.
Since he joined the organization, special
operations have been carried out by him.
It is also known that the most brutal
execution videos were shot by him.
We have confirmed from various sources that
the raid of the consulate
and hostage-taking operation
was planned and managed by him.
He shouldn't be underestimated.
Let's not forget that as we make our moves.
Sir, we've received a video
message from the organization.
Zeynep, put it on the screen. Go ahead.
CONNECTION ESTABLISHED
Commander Ferec has a message.
Assalam aleykum.
This little girl and all the hostages
will either return home safely
or they will all die.
It's in your hands.
These are our demands.
One!
The Republic of Turkey will immediately release
all our captive brothers!
Two!
The Republic of Turkey will never
join the coalition against our state!
Three!
The Republic of Turkey,
will announce to the
whole world that it officially
recognizes our state as
an independent country!
Assalam aleykum.
Come on.
Make them all stand, hurry up!
As you see.
We need to handle this
situation as soon as possible.
We have to keep our people
alive so that our state can live.
Sir, it would be better if we
postponed joining the coalition.
Thus, we gain can time for the members
of the organization held by the FSA.
As you know, lists will
be passed back and forth,
we will have slow down the
process as much as possible.
The real problem is their last demand.
It is out of the question for Turkey
to recognize a terrorist organization.
How could such a thing be possible?
Of course it can't.
In the meantime, we have located where
the hostages are being held.
We will carry out the operation
with our own team right away.
We need to bring back
those people safe and sound.
Beyond that,
it's not enough just to bring them back safe.
We must teach them a lesson so that
they never think of such a thing again.
No doubt, sir.
We are working on all dimensions of the issue.
I've already sent our field agent to the area.
Who did you send?
My best man.
Mother!
Give the kid a beating!
Mother!
Mother!
Mother!
C'mon, hurry, go home.
Welcome, brother.
Thanks.
Are you alone?
Isn't there anyone else here?
If you're asking about me, I'm here again.
I got all the books you asked for.
But I had to come with such haste, I'm sorry.
Na, I've gotten used to unkept promises.
Supposedly someone was going to arrange
a trip for us or something, but...
Come now.
How could I have invited you with the situation
as it is here?
I too really missed.
Ankara, stanbul.
I swear, a one-week vacation
in stanbul will be enough for me.
Sahra, life is really hard here.
But I promise you, once we handle things here,
I will take you on a months'
vacation, not just a week.
One month!
Yeah, one month.
A month will be great.
We will visit Ankara too.
But now our task is difficult.
We have little time.
As usual, nothing ever changes.
Yes, what have we got?
MOSUL OLD PRISON
There are guards at the door.
Heavily armed.
Obviously, it's crowded inside.
We need to go in strong.
Selamin Aleykum.
Greetings, greetings.
Go away!
Don't wait here.
Go away!
My apples are very good.
Give me two kilos.
We don't need.
Go away!
Don't talk to me.
Alright, alright.
I'm leaving.
No problem.
Go away!
Greetings, greetings.
Allah is bliss.
Allah is bliss.
May Allah not let stones touch your feet.
If possible, always let bullets hit them.
Well said, sir.
Why don't they rescue us mother?
They will, my beautiful child.
They will my angel.
What if they take me to that room again?
Let them come already.
Surely, they are doing
something for us right now.
Alright?
Don't you worry.
Ouz, everything is set.
Both our operation teams have infiltrated Mosul
and took their positions.
They are waiting for your signal.
You will also be guided for the return route.
I will also be waiting for BIS or CAS.
So, as we agreed, we will start at 12 midnight.
Alright, then.
May Allah be with you, son.
Thanks.
Let the operation begin.
We're starting.
I'm ready.
Here, take some bread.
Take the bread, man.
Take the bread, man.
Take it.
I don't want.
Take the bread, man.
Sahra, you got the tower.
The tower is clear.
Mommy.
My dear, come, let's eat something, alright?
I'm looking at the sky.
Superheroes always come from the sky.
Second team is inside.
We're entering Blok A.
Sahra.
You're up.
Door is clear.
We are entering the courtyard.
I wish superheroes were real, right mom?
They would come to save us.
Yes, dear.
To your places!
No looking out the window!
Team 3, we're at the front door.
Team 1, I'm opening it.
Team 1 is entering the main block.
Team 3 has entered Block C.
The courtyard is clear.
Ward 1, clear.
Ward 2, clear.
Ward 3, clear.
Ward 4, clear.
Ward 5, clear.
Open it.
Clear.
Clear.
Clear.
Bro, have they flown away?
Have we been misled?
Are the hostages somewhere else?
They must have seen us and fled.
There must be another
exit somewhere around here.
There is another way
out. Spread out and find it!
-Got it.
-Yes, sir!
I found it in the ward.
Hold on to this.
Don't lose it.
We're going to give it back to its owner.
Help us!
We're in here.
Help!
Help!
The exit is this way.
Their voices are coming
from down there. This way.
Are you alright?
I'm alright, bro, it's just a graze.
-Help us!
-C'mon.
-Shut up!
-Help!
C'mon, run!
Bomb!
Pull back! It's a trap!
Trap!
There has been an explosion.
There has been a powerful explosion.
Team 1, are you okay?
Team 1?
Ouz!
Ouz, what is your status?
Ouz, are you alright?
Son, can you hear me?
Team 1, are you okay?
Are you all okay?
Ouz!
Ouz, answer me!
Are you alright?
We're okay.
We have one minor injury, sir.
They blew up the tunnel.
If we can just find the exit of the tunnel...
Now! Get out of there, now!
Right now! Get out, right now!
Sir, let us try to find the exit.
Son, do you hear me?
Leave immediately. Operation cancelled!
I repeat, operation cancelled!
Get out of there, c'mon.
Understood.
Cancelled, we're turning back.
They couldn't save us, mom.
What's going to happen now?
They will try again, my beautiful girl.
They'll try again.
Don't worry.
I'm thirsty.
My dear, just be a little patient, alright?
We can't ask anyone for water right now.
Be patient.
Well done, my dear, smart girl.
SYRIA-ABANDONED FACTORY
60 KM FROM TURKEY BORDER
C'mon, get off.
Down! Down!
Get inside! Go!
Go on!
Go! Get inside!
Sir, unfortunately the operation failed.
Are there any casualties?
We have one minor injury.
But we're about to ascertain where the hostages
have just been sent.
We must rescue the
hostages as soon as possible.
I know, sir.
It is the pride of our country.
I know, I'm aware, sir.
I'll make a new plan as soon as possible and
come to see you, sir.
I look forward to hearing your good news.
Got it, sir.
President, Ferec is on the line.
Ferec?
Put him thru, son.
Put him thru.
Do not! Don't do such a thing! Do not!
I thought these 49 people
were very valuable to you?
We do not trust you.
Actually, after that operation,
it would have been fitting to show
you some quality execution videos, but...
Look here!
You do know if you do
something like that, we'll
never enter a dialogue
with you again, right?
Then, we'd have a different
conversation with you.
CONNECTION ESTABLISHED
You know our demands.
Make them happen.
If you carry out another operation...
Alas, they will all die.
Assalam aleykum.
May Allah damn it!
We found the new place where
the hostages are being held.
It is being monitored from
the ground around the clock.
Well, because of the suicide bombers, now
we can't do an operation like the first one.
On the other hand, it is out of the question
for us to accept this organization's demands.
So as you see, we have a
Gordian Knot on our hands.
We need to unravel this knot.
We will either find a way or make a way.
Tomorrow, I have to submit to the higher up,
a new plan to rescue the hostages.
Let's find this plan.
Understood?
Understood, sir.
Where they took them now is a place where
the organization is concentrated.
Let's go in like one of them, huh?
Excuse me, am I bothering you?
I'm thinking.
Oh?
We can get in, there is no problem with that.
But how are we going to safely
evacuate 49 people from there?
Good, at least one of you is listening to me.
I am listening too, dear.
You said, we could go in like one of them...
They took 49 people from us.
What if we took one person from them?
Someone they can't stand to lose.
Welcome, sir.
Thank you.
Our plan is ready.
Let's hear it.
First, we will take control of the area
surrounding the building.
Second step, we'll use heavy stun gas.
Thus, the suicide bombers
will be incapacitated.
But won't the hostages be affected by this gas?
Yes, they will.
But we have performed such
an operation in Georgia before.
I know. But we rescued two people there.
There are 49 people here.
Think about 49 unconscious people.
We did some simulations last night.
We'll go with enough men.
It is also possible for us to land a helicopter
at the location.
So, what is the estimated success rate?
60 percent.
60 percent.
I see.
What have you got, Ouz?
Sir, if our plan is successful,
they will give up the hostages themselves.
Until now, they made up the game and
played to their own rules.
Now, I say, let's hit them
with their own weapon.
In retaliation for the 49 people
they took from us, let's take
one of the organization's most important.
Their second in command; Abu Ferec.
Tell me.
It's a Yazidi town.
And because they killed most of the Yezidis,
most of the houses in the outskirts are empty.
First, I'll create a safe house.
Then, after hiding there for
a few days with the target,
I'll take the target out of town.
We can meet at the dump close to town.
If you agree, Sahra can collect us from there.
In his town, Abu Ferec is better protected than
most presidents of state are.
How do you plan on picking him up in that town?
It can't be done with an operation, sir.
But if we can get someone in pretending
to be one of them, our chances are good.
There's someone appropriate for this.
I just read the intelligence reports.
His name is Brian Kovalski.
He is Belgian and his mother is Syrian.
He's wanted all over Europe.
He has been masked on all his operations.
His face has never been seen.
We have received intelligence that this
man is on his way to join the organization.
You will take his place.
Understood, Sir.
Zeki, you contact the Turkmen forces.
I'll tell you the details later, son.
Yes, Sir.
Selamun aleykum.
Abu Ustar?
Let me go! Let go, dude!
Let me go!
-Fast, fast, fast. |
-Let go! Let go!
-Dose him! Hurry!
-Let me go!
-Shut up!
-Let go!
How did we miss this?
How are we going to recreate this tattoo here?
Bro, can't go without
the tattoo, it's too risky.
I have something in mind.
Zeki, I will find you.
You went all the way to the bone, man.
Who are they?
New recruits.
We're going to headquarters.
Okay, move.
Hurry.
Hurry.
Come on, hurry along.
AIN SIND TOWN
ISIS HEADQUARTERS
Hurry up, hurry up.
Faster. Come on, c'mon soldier!
Get going.
Come on, brother, c'mon soldier.
Come on, brother, get off.
Come on, brother, c'mon.
The commander is coming. Everyone get in line.
Move faster.
Hurry.
Hurry up, hurry up.
Faster.
Come on, brother. Faster.
C'mon, c'mon.
Faster.
Move faster.
You've come here today,
from all over the world,
to establish a new order
and to fly our banner on earth!
We're expanding our lands every day!
Hundreds of our friends
give their lives, every day!
But we laugh even as we go to death!
Takbir!
Allahu Akbar!
Takbir!
Allahu Akbar!
-Takbir!
-Allahu Akbar!
But we have more work to do in this world!
That's why we have rules!
And you will abide by these rules!
This is our brain!
This is our heart!
And you will abide by these rules!
Forget where you came from!
Forget your family!
Passport.
Australia.
Where from?
Glaston.
Nice.
What's your relationship to the
Sydney market explosion in 2005?
I planned it.
Now I remember you, my brother.
I know these eyes.
Your name.
Abu Ustar.
Your real name.
Brian Kovalski.
I remember you.
I watched your videos.
You've always seen me like this.
Now, see me like this for a while.
Where have you been all this time?
In Europe.
After the attack in Brussels,
I was forced to hide out there.
Welcome.
Thank you.
A sin from the days when we served the heathen.
As I was coming here, I
wanted to turn a clean page.
Good job.
Show them what to do.
May Allah give us all success, my brothers.
-Amen.
-Amen.
Show them their quarters,
then put them to work.
C'mon, hurry.
-Come on, c'mon.
-Quickly. Quickly.
This is your room. Settle
in, come to the kitchen.
Thanks.
-Peace be upon you.
-Peace to you too.
Hold out your plates!
These are Yezidis, infidels.
Just enough so they don't
die is enough for them.
Please, just a little more, the child is sick.
Stand back!
Commander Ferec.
Assalam aleykum.
Aleykum esselam.
Please, carry on.
In Allah's name.
Sir.
I've settled in without any
problem. I'll keep you informed.
Alright, Ouz.
Be careful, son.
Got it.
Aim.
Fix it, fix it.
Fire!
Take the magazine out.
Assalam aleykum.
On this blessed road we
set out on with our shroud,
the end of people like these
guys who've betrayed us
is death in this world
and hell in the hereafter!
Allahu Akbar!
Allahu Akbar!
Allahu Akbar!
Allahu Akbar!
Selamun aleykum.
And aleykum salam.
How are you, brother?
I am well, thankfully.
May you be well.
-Is there something you want?
-There is, there is.
Brother, if Allah allows,
we are going to have a celebration again.
Congratulations. Wedding? Circumcision?
Circumcision.
It will be a mass circumcision.
We want to organize a nice celebration.
With food, music and dance.
Alright, brother, I'll make
all the arrangements.
In that case, you must also
need a good circumciser.
Of course.
How many children will there be? 15-20?
Let's say more than 40.
Alright, alright, I got it.
I'd better arrange for
at least 10 circumcisers.
I will contact you about the when.
Do we know where?
We do, we do. It's arranged.
Good. Well, take it easy.
Well, thank you.
Thanks.
Take it easy.
Why does Ferec plant the
explosives on the trucks himself?
Ferec is meticulous.
He takes care of the trucks himself.
What is it?
-Brother Orhan?
-Brother Orhan?
-Are you alright, brother?
-Brother, are you okay?
What's wrong, brother?
-Stand back, stand back.
-Brother?
This man needs a doctor. A doctor is needed.
Emergency!
-Bro, pull yourself together.
-Breathe, brother.
-Open up, open up, open up.
-Is there anyone to help?
-Is there a doctor, brother?
-Is there a brother?
Brother, are you alright?
Ustar!
Abu Ustar!
Brother, look here.
Come, brother, come.
If you had told us in advance
we would have prepared for you.
Told what? I don't understand?
Come now, don't be like that.
Look.
Your wife has come from so far away.
You've got to keep her happy so that
you may have many more, right?
Come on, say hello.
If we are to make this state strong,
first we must make the family strong.
You will give birth to
many warriors for us so that
where we fall, they will take up our weapons.
Our banner will fly forever!
Now,
who came to be the wife of
this valiant warrior Abu Ustar?
Take one step forward.
Welcome, sister.
Abu Ustar.
Abu Ustar.
This isn't Abu Ustar, it's someone else.
I don't understand what she's saying.
I'm Abu Ustar.
Even though it was online, we
used to talk for hours with Abu Ustar.
He turned on his camera only for me.
I know every detail of Abu Ustar's face,
down to the hairs on his beard.
I don't know what's going on here,
but this man isn't Abu Ustar!
He's not.
Say my name.
What's my name?
Say my name.
Say it, what's my name?
Say it, say my name. What's my name?
As I told you, I don't know this woman.
C'mon.
Bring me that dog alive.
Hurry!
C'mon, c'mon, fast.
Go up!
See what's happening upstairs.
Butcher!
What's going up there?
Abu Ustar is a traitor.
You must hide right away, sir.
We're looking for him. We'll find him
any moment but take care of yourself.
Find that bastard.
Kill him.
Precaution first,
trust after.
Selamun aleykum.
I'll blow up your brain if you make a sound.
Keep walking.
Walk.
Find him. Where? Where is he?
-Get lost.
-Who are you? What's happening?
Get lost!
Jump. Jump!
Jump.
This way!
I always wanted to do this.
Tomatoes.
Tomatoes.
C'mon, tomatoes.
Tomato.
They kidnapped Abu Ferec.
They kidnapped Abu Ferec.
They've kidnapped Ferec.
Hold all entrances and exits!
Mobilize everyone.
Bring me that traitor alive!
Hurry.
Are you conscious?
Get up.
You're wasting your time.
You can't get me out of this town.
We will see whether I can or whether I can't.
Walk.
Get in.
In.
-Chief.
-We're going to find whatever there is.
Ouz is on the line for you.
-Ouz.
-Sir.
I've got the package.
I've already sent the
photo. For your information.
Well done, my boy!
Well done, to you!
But, I have some bad news.
I've been made.
I need to get out of here immediately.
Okay, what's your status at the moment?
Stabil, I'm in the safe house.
But, sooner or later they will find this place.
I believe the roads in and
out of town have been blocked.
Alright. Don't worry.
Wait for my call.
Mind yourself, alright, son?
Got it.
There is some kind of ruckus but I
can't figure out what's happening.
I swear, I don't know, sister.
There's nothing serious.
He should get some rest and lots of fluids.
If he takes this medicine he'll feel better.
I wrote how to use the medication inside.
It says to wait for the red mask.
They're coming.
Red mask.
Sir.
Zeki, what is your status?
It's developing faster than I guessed.
Look, the operation began early.
Move up your celebration.
Take your position and wait
for my instructions, alright, son?
Let Sahra know too.
Yes, Sir.
Bro, how's it going?
Yes, yes.
We've moved up the celebration.
The musicians are ready, aren't they?
Great. Great.
We want them to play every genre, bro.
Domestic, foreign, mixed.
Alright?
Thanks, my brother.
You're the best. Thanks. Thank you.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Maybe I should go into the event
planning business when I retire.
It's really good work.
Yeah, I swear.
Sir, we have contact.
The militant, codenamed
Butcher, is on the line.
Is he next in command?
He has command.
Okay, video link him to me right now. Come on.
Yes, Sir.
Should I call you Butcher
or by your name, Johny?
Or both together, Butcher Johny.
The lives of 49 people are at my mercy.
So you're saying let's
get straight to the point.
Ok, then, first, take a look at this.
Zeynep, send the photo.
Yes, Sir.
Did you get a good look?
There are somethings that are at our mercy.
We have your commander Ferec.
If we get the hostages back safe and sound,
you'll get Ferec the same way.
If it were up to me, I would
have cut them to pieces.
But I too am a servant of order.
My offer is open and clear.
Give us the hostages, get Ferec.
Now, go speak to whomever you need,
your boss or your subordinate,
do whatever you need,
and let me know as soon as possible. Go on.
Ferec is here, in town.
You're going to scour the whole town
and turn it upside down!
You will bring Ferec to
me with that traitor! Quick!
I'm listening.
Listen carefully.
They've kidnapped Ferec.
If something happens to him,
you're going to kill all the hostages.
Wait for my call.
Got it.
Raise your weapons.
Everyone be ready.
-What's happening?
-What's happening, brother?
They fed the bullets into
the chambers of the guns.
We've managed somehow so far.
But if we come to the end, even though
we are unarmed, we will go down fighting.
Let's, bro.
Walk. I'll shoot you in the head, walk.
Not there, here.
Quick. Hurry, hurry!
As an agency, we're sorry we couldn't provide
a very luxurious environment.
You will have to make do.
If you are smart, you'll live a long life.
Keep your head down.
Down!
Half-hearted.
Selamun aleykum.
Aleykum salam.
I'm taking the trash, should I pass?
All cars are being
searched. Butcher has orders.
Can't you see the car is full of garbage?
Brother, the situation is very very serious.
Ferec is missing, a traitor has infiltrated us.
The butcher gave strict orders.
Everyone, every vehicle
will be searched thoroughly.
No one will leave town without an urgency.
You wait your turn.
They'll let you pass soon.
After all, you are serving the public.
Got it bro, thanks.
It's empty.
Look at me. Don't raise your head.
If you make a sound we'll both die.
Start walking. Walk.
Head down.
C'mon, walk.
Damned reception!
Where the hell is the driver?
What's happening here?
What is this honking sound?
We're looking for the driver.
He must have gone to take a dump.
How long has this truck been here?
It must be something like 20 minutes.
I finished searching the cars in front,
then I noticed this one just sitting here.
Door guard.
This is Butcher.
Have you seen any vehicles in your vicinity.
No vehicles have entered.
Only a garbage truck pulled
over to the garbage dump.
They're probably junk dealers from the city.
Don't take your eyes off of that truck.
Let me know its location, alright?
Yes, sir.
Don't leave this place unattended.
Look here, follow me with the truck.
You, follow me.
We're heading to the dump.
C'mon, c'mon.
C'mon, Ouz, step on it.
Couldn't you find a bigger vehicle than that?
It's not me in the truck, get out of there.
What? It isn't you in the truck?
It isn't, get out of there.
Don't you dare.
Don't you dare.
Oh, Sahra, oh.
Take her to my car.
Go on.
Go on.
Come on. Get in the vehicle, come on.
Sir, they've got Sahra.
Ouz, move to the north of town, right away.
Sir, they've got Sahra.
Don't worry about Sahra.
We'll take care of her.
That is not your concern.
Make your way north as soon as you can.
If you leave right away, you
could have a chance. Now, now!
Ouz, I've given you your mission.
Continue the mission.
Straight north!
Do you hear me?
I said, straight north.
Ouz!
Ouz!
Son, don't do this, don't! Don't! Don't!
I'm not buying it.
Don't. I know you can hear me.
Look, I'm telling you, go north.
Do you hear me?
There is no reception, I can't hear you.
Don't, son. Don't, man.
Ouz, don't do this, man.
Don't! Allah damn it, don't!
Walk, man.
Walk.
Mustafa.
Inform Special Forces. Have them be ready.
If things go for the worse,
our fists needs to come down hard on them.
Yes, Sir.
Ouz, man.
Look girl, we embarked
on this road to die or to kill.
But the truth is...
Do you know what the truth is?
I was indeed a butcher.
I was both a good butcher and a good cook.
In my previous life.
My ignorance period.
May Allah forgive my sins.
I would make such delicious pork ribs
that people would make a que.
They would eat their fingers.
O Allah, forgive my sins, O Lord.
Come on eat!
Bite!
How is it?
It's good, isn't it? Good.
Look!
Look! Don't underestimate a woman, huh!
She's well trained.
Now, is she eating because she's hungry? No.
She'll eat whatever we give her.
Because why?
She needs to be strong and resilient
to withstand the questioning!
Look, girl.
I don't have any habits of
getting along with prisoners,
playing good cop, bad cop.
I start directly with the torture.
Now, let's just nicely find
one of your weak spots.
Eyes.
Eyes. No, that's not it.
Lips. Eh?
Eh?
In that case let's go a little lower.
Oh, very nice.
Very nice.
But first I want to land
a kiss on your shoulder!
C'mon.
C'mon, scream!
C'mon, I want to hear you moan. Scream!
Scream, c'mon!
What were you doing at the dump?
How many of you are there in town?
Where is Ferec?
I don't know.
I don't know anything.
I went to the dump to look
for junk. I don't know anything.
So, you want to take the difficult route.
Okay. Alright.
Alright.
Look girl, there are only two
ways you get out of here, get it?
Either you give me what I
want and out in one piece,
or your head will be separated from your body!
Do you understand that? Ha?
Selamun aleykum, brother.
Go on in, the soup is still warm.
Where's Ferec?
I don't know anything.
C'mon! Scream!
Scream!
I was just leaving, but you
have your share coming.
Do you have anything to put it in?
I've no clean cups or bowls left.
I've got my own.
It's really late, why don't you take off.
I'll take these to the kitchen.
That would be great, thanks.
It's shameful to brag about it but I snagged
a beautiful slave at the market today.
She 16 at best.
I came all the way here
without putting a hand on her.
-Tell me, where is Ferec?
-I really appreciate this.
-I don't know.
-Thanks, a lot.
C'mon, scream!
C'mon.
Now.
Come on, tell me!
Look girl.
If you don't give me what I want
I will make that beautiful face of yours
unrecognizable, do you understand?
I don't know anything.
We are junk dealers, I don't know anything.
I get it, girl. You are going to make me work.
But I don't have time.
Now, I'm going to have 10 of my men come here.
Do you know what I'm going to do?
I'm going to establish one rule.
They aren't going to kill you.
But they can do to you whatever they like.
Do you understand?
I will be back in one hour to see
if you've changed your mind or not.
Selamun aleykum.
The cook sent me. Someone asked for soup.
What soup, man?
We didn't ask for soup.
For Allah's sake?
Didn't anyone ask for soup?
Are you kidding us right now?
I knew you would come.
Would I leave you to the cannibals?
Over there.
Do you have Ferec?
I've got the package.
Don't worry.
-Are you alright?
-Let's get out.
-Let's get out.
-Can you walk?
Let's go.
Come, come.
Take this.
Come. Sit over here.
Let me take a look.
It's alright.
It's going to be alright.
Does it hurt a lot?
I'm dealing with it.
Clench your jaw.
Clench your jaw.
It's over.
Welcome to the club.
What?
Welcome to what?
We formed a secret club within the agency.
We only include field agents who have survived
questioning under torture.
It's a secret.
Nobody knows.
This must be a new
establishment. I never heard of it.
It's not official.
I told you, it's a secret.
Secret.
So, now, I'm in, is that it?
Of course, you are.
Besides, you are the only
female member of this club.
There are no other women.
Alright, if I may ask,
what happens when you enter this club?
Actually, not much.
But on the other hand, a lot happens.
We sit and talk about our secrets that
we don't talk to anyone else about,
that no one else knows about, not our friends,
not even our families...
Actually it's a club where
those who don't speak
even during torture, speak
to their heart's content.
So, it's a secret.
Is that it?
Is there anything else like a
secret, you Turkmen beauty.
Look, they say that rust rots
iron and secrets rot people.
Is it a lie?
For so many minutes I've been telling
you about my secret, you forgot your pain.
That's right. But I wish
you hadn't reminded me.
It passed.
It will pass.
Sir, Ouz is on the line.
Ouz.
Sir, I've got Sahra.
She's safe.
Oh yes! Thank the Lord!
Are you all well?
Yes, we are.
Good, nice.
I see the phone is better too. It's been fixed.
Sir, it does this every now and then.
I have to get a new one when I'm back.
Get the hell out of here!
I've been down that road long before you.
Whatever, this issue is not closed,
we'll talk about it later.
The town is in upheaval,
will you be able to get out?
I'll be out in at most a half hour.
Let's continue our plan from where we left it.
That is of course, if your surprise is ready.
It's ready. It's ready. Everything is ready.
Continue with the plan.
Alright then.
Got it.
Let me get some water.
Let me get some water.
Down, down, down.
I said, walk.
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon.
Go to that vehicle. Check if it has fuel.
Alright. Go, go.
Open my mouth, I'm going to say something.
Go.
Get in.
Open my mouth, I'm going to say something.
Stop moving around, I'll
put a bullet in your brain.
Open my mouth.
C'mon, open it. Open my mouth.
Open my mouth. C'mon.
Turkmen girl,
what are they going to pay you?
So, it's come to that, eh?
To how much I make.
Why do you ask?
You'll double it.
Double, triple, quadruple, whatever you say.
And then I'm going to help you, eh?
I'm going to help you buy and sell women
like property and enslave them, am I?
Look, I know there are some wrong practices.
But when our state fully establishes its order,
women will be comfortable too.
Believe me.
Look at me. Don't raise your head.
That man might be an officer, but I am not.
I have neither a supervisor nor a manager.
If you talk some more and blow off my top,
I'll empty the magazine in your head.
Now, get inside.
-Alright.
-Get inside, shut up.
Alright, alright.
Get inside.
There's a dead here.
What happened? Who shot him?
Sahra, hold on tight.
Who's here?
Everyone take your place. Block the way!
Close the road, do not run
away. Everyone get a car.
Come to your senses!
Everyone listen here!
Listen!
What's the number of the truck they took?
I saw it, they're in number 6.
That's right. I saw them too, it's number 6.
Ferec had cell phones placed in all the trucks
in case our brother,
the suicide bomber driving
the truck, succumbed to his ego.
I have all the numbers.
We're gonna call that
phone and blow up the truck!
Ferec might be there too, though.
These lands must be
irrigated not only with enemy
blood, but also with our
blood, when necessary!
Head down! Head down!
Hold on tight.
If he is so destined Ferec
will become a martyr.
Come on faster, faster!
Allahu Akbar!
Allahu Akbar!
Allahu Akbar!
There has been an explosion in town.
Let's just say a little
surprise from us to them.
I changed the telephones.
Allahu Akbar!
-Allahu Akbar!
-Be quiet.
Allahu Akbar!
He fooled us! He changed the telephones!
Our trucks are gone!
Ferec is gone!
-Where is he?
-It can't be!
Turn yourself in, then.
Alright, don't cry! Alright!
-Alright, don't cry!
-This can't be.
-Come to your senses!
-This can't be.
Alright.
This was his destiny.
And so was your destiny.
You will die and Ferec will live.
Ferec still has days to live!
This is a sign!
What are we going to do now, Butcher?
If they don't give us our commander,
we're going to kill all of the hostages.
-Takbir!
-Allahu Akbar!
-Takbir!
-Allahu Akbar!
Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar!
C'mon.
Go on!
TURKEY BORDER STATION
Get down.
Walk.
Walk!
Yes.
Sir, we are at the delivery point.
Alright, Ouz, I've arrived.
Wait for my instructions.
Understood.
Sit.
Sit!
I'm listening.
There is a bridge about 6 kilometers from
the factory where you're keeping the hostages.
Ferec is waiting for you at that bridge.
You're going to bring all the hostages
to the bridge in a bus.
Then you are going to send us the bus,
we're going to send you Ferec. Got it?
Good.
I'll call you on this number
when the hostages are ready.
Look at me!
Now, listen carefully.
Drive the bus into the factory hangar.
Get all the hostages on the bus.
Tell them they're being saved.
That our wishes have been met,
and that they will be delivered
to Turkey freely and safely.
Let them rejoice.
Show them a smile.
Let them rejoice in peace.
Record everything.
Record every second of it.
Send the video to me.
The bus has moved, sir.
The connection is ready, sir.
Put him thru.
This is Butcher, the hostages are on their way.
They're about to get to the bridge.
How are the hostages doing?
See for yourself.
Tell Zeki to take his position.
Yes, sir.
Eagle, take your position.
Sahra.
Walk.
Walk.
C'mon, walk.
Yes guys, all of you focus well.
Open your eyes.
We've made it this far, let's finish this now.
Here you go.
Ouz, we're starting.
Let me see you son, come on.
Understood.
Send Commander Ferec!
Send the bus.
Record everything, every second.
Then stop the recording.
Lock them all up again.
You will kill them all when
either Commander Ferec
or I give you the order.
On live broadcast.
Be prepared, brothers. Our mission is very big.
We are ready, commander.
Allah Akbar!
Allah Akbar!
Allah Akbar!
Sahra.
Zeki, go in Allah's name.
-Start.
-I'm starting.
Red mask.
Red mask.
Quiet.
They're here.
Don't anyone move.
My brother.
Red mask.
You're early.
There're still two hours.
Untie each other.
Be ready, I'm going to come for you.
Alright. Stand back.
-Stand back, there's a bomb.
-Stand back.
Get back! Down!
Here, cut, continue.
Commander Ferec!
Commander Ferec!
Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.
Commander Ferec!
Oh, fuck!
Sahra, they're on this side.
Give me your knife.
Give me your knife!
They've probably started cutting the hostages.
Let's not miss it.
No. This business is gonna be done today.
Kill them both.
Kill them both!
We have to get out of here, hurry!
Guys, we're leaving.
Keep your head down! Follow me!
We're returning to Turkey.
You two guard the back.
Zeki has the hostages, sir.
Evacuation started, there are no casualties.
Good, very good. Very good.
Sahra, after me.
They're getting away.
Block their way, hurry!
Sahra, cover me.
Okay.
Sahra!
I would have preferred to take you alive but!
Sahra. Sahra.
Come. Sit over here.
Kill all the hostages!
Kill them all!
You're too late.
We have the hostages.
We're about to cross the border.
Get up. Come.
Wait for me.
Sahra, stay down!
They asked its prey about the wolf;
he said, would I be the pray if I saw the wolf?
We taught you, we will teach you all.
That you should not play with the wolf.
Sahra!
Sahra!
Sahra.
Sahra.
Alright. Alright. Okay...
You've seen such wounds
before. What's this? Right?
Alright. It'll be okay.
Don't worry.
-You'll be alright.
-If Allah wills it.
Since I made it to the club
I can tell you my secret.
Of course, you did. Tell me.
But not now.
Don't tire yourself out, later.
Later. They're coming.
You...
Sahra.
Sahra.
Sahra!
Hurry!
Fast! Fast, fast, fast!
Thanks. Thank you.
Hello, beautiful.
I think this is yours.
Oh, I can fix it now. Thank you so much.
You're welcome.
Does your doll have a name?
My mother had just given her
to me, I haven't named her yet.
Are there any names that you like?
I do.
Shall we name her Sahra?
I really like that? Her name will be Sahra.
Very well.
A TURKMEN VILLAGE NEAR MOSUL
Long live our homeland.
Long live our homeland.
49 personnel and civilians,
including a child, kidnapped from
the Mosul Consulate of the
Republic of Turkey, were rescued
and brought back to the
homeland as a result of the devoted
work of the Turkish National
Intelligence Organization.
This movie is dedicated to
the unsung heroes who work
without limit for the survival
of the Republic of Turkey.
Sheikh Edebali
The advance of the Islamic State
of Iraq militants to Mosul continues.
While it's claimed that militias affiliated
with The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria
Sources have reported that they are approaching
the city of Mosul.
There are also reports that ISIS militants
continue to clash with
the security forces in a struggle
to take control of the entire city.
Allahu Akbar!
MOSUL CONSULATE BUILDING
They are around the consulate building.
They've started to surround it.
Their numbers are increasing.
There are 49 of us.
Employees and civilians.
And one child.
The daughter of one of the clerks.
Allahu Akbar!
Front door, pull back!
Pull back to position!
We're pulling back.
They 're not answering.
We can't get a response
from the local security forces.
I await your orders, sir!
Iraqi forces have left the city.
Mosul has fallen.
Get inside!
Pull back! Get inside!
Come on, c'mon.
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon.
Brother Mustafa, get inside.
You have no way to defend
the place by yourselves.
You're going to surrender.
Sir, we have plenty of ammo.
We can defend it to the last drop of our blood.
The lives of everyone there is at stake.
I repeat, you will surrender.
That is an order!
Yes, sir!
Calm down!
I'm going to take care
of everything, calm down!
There is nothing else we can do now!
Everyone needs to be calm.
Don't anyone do anything.
Calm down, be calm.
Alright, be calm!
Shut up!
Shut it!
As of now, this is our land!
If you follow orders,
your lives will be spared!
Do you understand?
-We understand.
-We understand.
Brothers, Commander Ferec wants them all alive.
Act accordingly.
Alright.
C'mon, cuff them! Come on!
C'mon, cuff them!
Commander Ferec
Mosul is ours now.
We have captured all of the
Turkish consulate employees alive.
Perfect.
Take the prisoners to the
safe location, wait for my orders.
Yes, sir, Commander Ferec.
Our friends will be very happy about this.
BASED ON A TRUE STORY
Is there any information about
the health of the hostages?
What is their latest status?
So far, we have not received any
negative information on the subject.
Yes.
How many hostages are there?
Different numbers are being pronounced.
What is the exact number?
We are guessing there are about 45-50 people.
The exact number it will be
shared with you when we know.
Sir, is there any information about
where the hostages are being held?
Unfortunately, we don't have
any confirmed information.
But my colleagues are working on this subject.
MOSUL
Hasan El Kadim.
He's been using the name Abu Ferec
since he has joined the organization.
He was an officer during Saddam's rule.
He was successful in the Iran army.
But after the Gulf War, he
disappeared for a long time.
Since he joined the organization, special
operations have been carried out by him.
It is also known that the most brutal
execution videos were shot by him.
We have confirmed from various sources that
the raid of the consulate
and hostage-taking operation
was planned and managed by him.
He shouldn't be underestimated.
Let's not forget that as we make our moves.
Sir, we've received a video
message from the organization.
Zeynep, put it on the screen. Go ahead.
CONNECTION ESTABLISHED
Commander Ferec has a message.
Assalam aleykum.
This little girl and all the hostages
will either return home safely
or they will all die.
It's in your hands.
These are our demands.
One!
The Republic of Turkey will immediately release
all our captive brothers!
Two!
The Republic of Turkey will never
join the coalition against our state!
Three!
The Republic of Turkey,
will announce to the
whole world that it officially
recognizes our state as
an independent country!
Assalam aleykum.
Come on.
Make them all stand, hurry up!
As you see.
We need to handle this
situation as soon as possible.
We have to keep our people
alive so that our state can live.
Sir, it would be better if we
postponed joining the coalition.
Thus, we gain can time for the members
of the organization held by the FSA.
As you know, lists will
be passed back and forth,
we will have slow down the
process as much as possible.
The real problem is their last demand.
It is out of the question for Turkey
to recognize a terrorist organization.
How could such a thing be possible?
Of course it can't.
In the meantime, we have located where
the hostages are being held.
We will carry out the operation
with our own team right away.
We need to bring back
those people safe and sound.
Beyond that,
it's not enough just to bring them back safe.
We must teach them a lesson so that
they never think of such a thing again.
No doubt, sir.
We are working on all dimensions of the issue.
I've already sent our field agent to the area.
Who did you send?
My best man.
Mother!
Give the kid a beating!
Mother!
Mother!
Mother!
C'mon, hurry, go home.
Welcome, brother.
Thanks.
Are you alone?
Isn't there anyone else here?
If you're asking about me, I'm here again.
I got all the books you asked for.
But I had to come with such haste, I'm sorry.
Na, I've gotten used to unkept promises.
Supposedly someone was going to arrange
a trip for us or something, but...
Come now.
How could I have invited you with the situation
as it is here?
I too really missed.
Ankara, stanbul.
I swear, a one-week vacation
in stanbul will be enough for me.
Sahra, life is really hard here.
But I promise you, once we handle things here,
I will take you on a months'
vacation, not just a week.
One month!
Yeah, one month.
A month will be great.
We will visit Ankara too.
But now our task is difficult.
We have little time.
As usual, nothing ever changes.
Yes, what have we got?
MOSUL OLD PRISON
There are guards at the door.
Heavily armed.
Obviously, it's crowded inside.
We need to go in strong.
Selamin Aleykum.
Greetings, greetings.
Go away!
Don't wait here.
Go away!
My apples are very good.
Give me two kilos.
We don't need.
Go away!
Don't talk to me.
Alright, alright.
I'm leaving.
No problem.
Go away!
Greetings, greetings.
Allah is bliss.
Allah is bliss.
May Allah not let stones touch your feet.
If possible, always let bullets hit them.
Well said, sir.
Why don't they rescue us mother?
They will, my beautiful child.
They will my angel.
What if they take me to that room again?
Let them come already.
Surely, they are doing
something for us right now.
Alright?
Don't you worry.
Ouz, everything is set.
Both our operation teams have infiltrated Mosul
and took their positions.
They are waiting for your signal.
You will also be guided for the return route.
I will also be waiting for BIS or CAS.
So, as we agreed, we will start at 12 midnight.
Alright, then.
May Allah be with you, son.
Thanks.
Let the operation begin.
We're starting.
I'm ready.
Here, take some bread.
Take the bread, man.
Take the bread, man.
Take it.
I don't want.
Take the bread, man.
Sahra, you got the tower.
The tower is clear.
Mommy.
My dear, come, let's eat something, alright?
I'm looking at the sky.
Superheroes always come from the sky.
Second team is inside.
We're entering Blok A.
Sahra.
You're up.
Door is clear.
We are entering the courtyard.
I wish superheroes were real, right mom?
They would come to save us.
Yes, dear.
To your places!
No looking out the window!
Team 3, we're at the front door.
Team 1, I'm opening it.
Team 1 is entering the main block.
Team 3 has entered Block C.
The courtyard is clear.
Ward 1, clear.
Ward 2, clear.
Ward 3, clear.
Ward 4, clear.
Ward 5, clear.
Open it.
Clear.
Clear.
Clear.
Bro, have they flown away?
Have we been misled?
Are the hostages somewhere else?
They must have seen us and fled.
There must be another
exit somewhere around here.
There is another way
out. Spread out and find it!
-Got it.
-Yes, sir!
I found it in the ward.
Hold on to this.
Don't lose it.
We're going to give it back to its owner.
Help us!
We're in here.
Help!
Help!
The exit is this way.
Their voices are coming
from down there. This way.
Are you alright?
I'm alright, bro, it's just a graze.
-Help us!
-C'mon.
-Shut up!
-Help!
C'mon, run!
Bomb!
Pull back! It's a trap!
Trap!
There has been an explosion.
There has been a powerful explosion.
Team 1, are you okay?
Team 1?
Ouz!
Ouz, what is your status?
Ouz, are you alright?
Son, can you hear me?
Team 1, are you okay?
Are you all okay?
Ouz!
Ouz, answer me!
Are you alright?
We're okay.
We have one minor injury, sir.
They blew up the tunnel.
If we can just find the exit of the tunnel...
Now! Get out of there, now!
Right now! Get out, right now!
Sir, let us try to find the exit.
Son, do you hear me?
Leave immediately. Operation cancelled!
I repeat, operation cancelled!
Get out of there, c'mon.
Understood.
Cancelled, we're turning back.
They couldn't save us, mom.
What's going to happen now?
They will try again, my beautiful girl.
They'll try again.
Don't worry.
I'm thirsty.
My dear, just be a little patient, alright?
We can't ask anyone for water right now.
Be patient.
Well done, my dear, smart girl.
SYRIA-ABANDONED FACTORY
60 KM FROM TURKEY BORDER
C'mon, get off.
Down! Down!
Get inside! Go!
Go on!
Go! Get inside!
Sir, unfortunately the operation failed.
Are there any casualties?
We have one minor injury.
But we're about to ascertain where the hostages
have just been sent.
We must rescue the
hostages as soon as possible.
I know, sir.
It is the pride of our country.
I know, I'm aware, sir.
I'll make a new plan as soon as possible and
come to see you, sir.
I look forward to hearing your good news.
Got it, sir.
President, Ferec is on the line.
Ferec?
Put him thru, son.
Put him thru.
Do not! Don't do such a thing! Do not!
I thought these 49 people
were very valuable to you?
We do not trust you.
Actually, after that operation,
it would have been fitting to show
you some quality execution videos, but...
Look here!
You do know if you do
something like that, we'll
never enter a dialogue
with you again, right?
Then, we'd have a different
conversation with you.
CONNECTION ESTABLISHED
You know our demands.
Make them happen.
If you carry out another operation...
Alas, they will all die.
Assalam aleykum.
May Allah damn it!
We found the new place where
the hostages are being held.
It is being monitored from
the ground around the clock.
Well, because of the suicide bombers, now
we can't do an operation like the first one.
On the other hand, it is out of the question
for us to accept this organization's demands.
So as you see, we have a
Gordian Knot on our hands.
We need to unravel this knot.
We will either find a way or make a way.
Tomorrow, I have to submit to the higher up,
a new plan to rescue the hostages.
Let's find this plan.
Understood?
Understood, sir.
Where they took them now is a place where
the organization is concentrated.
Let's go in like one of them, huh?
Excuse me, am I bothering you?
I'm thinking.
Oh?
We can get in, there is no problem with that.
But how are we going to safely
evacuate 49 people from there?
Good, at least one of you is listening to me.
I am listening too, dear.
You said, we could go in like one of them...
They took 49 people from us.
What if we took one person from them?
Someone they can't stand to lose.
Welcome, sir.
Thank you.
Our plan is ready.
Let's hear it.
First, we will take control of the area
surrounding the building.
Second step, we'll use heavy stun gas.
Thus, the suicide bombers
will be incapacitated.
But won't the hostages be affected by this gas?
Yes, they will.
But we have performed such
an operation in Georgia before.
I know. But we rescued two people there.
There are 49 people here.
Think about 49 unconscious people.
We did some simulations last night.
We'll go with enough men.
It is also possible for us to land a helicopter
at the location.
So, what is the estimated success rate?
60 percent.
60 percent.
I see.
What have you got, Ouz?
Sir, if our plan is successful,
they will give up the hostages themselves.
Until now, they made up the game and
played to their own rules.
Now, I say, let's hit them
with their own weapon.
In retaliation for the 49 people
they took from us, let's take
one of the organization's most important.
Their second in command; Abu Ferec.
Tell me.
It's a Yazidi town.
And because they killed most of the Yezidis,
most of the houses in the outskirts are empty.
First, I'll create a safe house.
Then, after hiding there for
a few days with the target,
I'll take the target out of town.
We can meet at the dump close to town.
If you agree, Sahra can collect us from there.
In his town, Abu Ferec is better protected than
most presidents of state are.
How do you plan on picking him up in that town?
It can't be done with an operation, sir.
But if we can get someone in pretending
to be one of them, our chances are good.
There's someone appropriate for this.
I just read the intelligence reports.
His name is Brian Kovalski.
He is Belgian and his mother is Syrian.
He's wanted all over Europe.
He has been masked on all his operations.
His face has never been seen.
We have received intelligence that this
man is on his way to join the organization.
You will take his place.
Understood, Sir.
Zeki, you contact the Turkmen forces.
I'll tell you the details later, son.
Yes, Sir.
Selamun aleykum.
Abu Ustar?
Let me go! Let go, dude!
Let me go!
-Fast, fast, fast. |
-Let go! Let go!
-Dose him! Hurry!
-Let me go!
-Shut up!
-Let go!
How did we miss this?
How are we going to recreate this tattoo here?
Bro, can't go without
the tattoo, it's too risky.
I have something in mind.
Zeki, I will find you.
You went all the way to the bone, man.
Who are they?
New recruits.
We're going to headquarters.
Okay, move.
Hurry.
Hurry.
Come on, hurry along.
AIN SIND TOWN
ISIS HEADQUARTERS
Hurry up, hurry up.
Faster. Come on, c'mon soldier!
Get going.
Come on, brother, c'mon soldier.
Come on, brother, get off.
Come on, brother, c'mon.
The commander is coming. Everyone get in line.
Move faster.
Hurry.
Hurry up, hurry up.
Faster.
Come on, brother. Faster.
C'mon, c'mon.
Faster.
Move faster.
You've come here today,
from all over the world,
to establish a new order
and to fly our banner on earth!
We're expanding our lands every day!
Hundreds of our friends
give their lives, every day!
But we laugh even as we go to death!
Takbir!
Allahu Akbar!
Takbir!
Allahu Akbar!
-Takbir!
-Allahu Akbar!
But we have more work to do in this world!
That's why we have rules!
And you will abide by these rules!
This is our brain!
This is our heart!
And you will abide by these rules!
Forget where you came from!
Forget your family!
Passport.
Australia.
Where from?
Glaston.
Nice.
What's your relationship to the
Sydney market explosion in 2005?
I planned it.
Now I remember you, my brother.
I know these eyes.
Your name.
Abu Ustar.
Your real name.
Brian Kovalski.
I remember you.
I watched your videos.
You've always seen me like this.
Now, see me like this for a while.
Where have you been all this time?
In Europe.
After the attack in Brussels,
I was forced to hide out there.
Welcome.
Thank you.
A sin from the days when we served the heathen.
As I was coming here, I
wanted to turn a clean page.
Good job.
Show them what to do.
May Allah give us all success, my brothers.
-Amen.
-Amen.
Show them their quarters,
then put them to work.
C'mon, hurry.
-Come on, c'mon.
-Quickly. Quickly.
This is your room. Settle
in, come to the kitchen.
Thanks.
-Peace be upon you.
-Peace to you too.
Hold out your plates!
These are Yezidis, infidels.
Just enough so they don't
die is enough for them.
Please, just a little more, the child is sick.
Stand back!
Commander Ferec.
Assalam aleykum.
Aleykum esselam.
Please, carry on.
In Allah's name.
Sir.
I've settled in without any
problem. I'll keep you informed.
Alright, Ouz.
Be careful, son.
Got it.
Aim.
Fix it, fix it.
Fire!
Take the magazine out.
Assalam aleykum.
On this blessed road we
set out on with our shroud,
the end of people like these
guys who've betrayed us
is death in this world
and hell in the hereafter!
Allahu Akbar!
Allahu Akbar!
Allahu Akbar!
Allahu Akbar!
Selamun aleykum.
And aleykum salam.
How are you, brother?
I am well, thankfully.
May you be well.
-Is there something you want?
-There is, there is.
Brother, if Allah allows,
we are going to have a celebration again.
Congratulations. Wedding? Circumcision?
Circumcision.
It will be a mass circumcision.
We want to organize a nice celebration.
With food, music and dance.
Alright, brother, I'll make
all the arrangements.
In that case, you must also
need a good circumciser.
Of course.
How many children will there be? 15-20?
Let's say more than 40.
Alright, alright, I got it.
I'd better arrange for
at least 10 circumcisers.
I will contact you about the when.
Do we know where?
We do, we do. It's arranged.
Good. Well, take it easy.
Well, thank you.
Thanks.
Take it easy.
Why does Ferec plant the
explosives on the trucks himself?
Ferec is meticulous.
He takes care of the trucks himself.
What is it?
-Brother Orhan?
-Brother Orhan?
-Are you alright, brother?
-Brother, are you okay?
What's wrong, brother?
-Stand back, stand back.
-Brother?
This man needs a doctor. A doctor is needed.
Emergency!
-Bro, pull yourself together.
-Breathe, brother.
-Open up, open up, open up.
-Is there anyone to help?
-Is there a doctor, brother?
-Is there a brother?
Brother, are you alright?
Ustar!
Abu Ustar!
Brother, look here.
Come, brother, come.
If you had told us in advance
we would have prepared for you.
Told what? I don't understand?
Come now, don't be like that.
Look.
Your wife has come from so far away.
You've got to keep her happy so that
you may have many more, right?
Come on, say hello.
If we are to make this state strong,
first we must make the family strong.
You will give birth to
many warriors for us so that
where we fall, they will take up our weapons.
Our banner will fly forever!
Now,
who came to be the wife of
this valiant warrior Abu Ustar?
Take one step forward.
Welcome, sister.
Abu Ustar.
Abu Ustar.
This isn't Abu Ustar, it's someone else.
I don't understand what she's saying.
I'm Abu Ustar.
Even though it was online, we
used to talk for hours with Abu Ustar.
He turned on his camera only for me.
I know every detail of Abu Ustar's face,
down to the hairs on his beard.
I don't know what's going on here,
but this man isn't Abu Ustar!
He's not.
Say my name.
What's my name?
Say my name.
Say it, what's my name?
Say it, say my name. What's my name?
As I told you, I don't know this woman.
C'mon.
Bring me that dog alive.
Hurry!
C'mon, c'mon, fast.
Go up!
See what's happening upstairs.
Butcher!
What's going up there?
Abu Ustar is a traitor.
You must hide right away, sir.
We're looking for him. We'll find him
any moment but take care of yourself.
Find that bastard.
Kill him.
Precaution first,
trust after.
Selamun aleykum.
I'll blow up your brain if you make a sound.
Keep walking.
Walk.
Find him. Where? Where is he?
-Get lost.
-Who are you? What's happening?
Get lost!
Jump. Jump!
Jump.
This way!
I always wanted to do this.
Tomatoes.
Tomatoes.
C'mon, tomatoes.
Tomato.
They kidnapped Abu Ferec.
They kidnapped Abu Ferec.
They've kidnapped Ferec.
Hold all entrances and exits!
Mobilize everyone.
Bring me that traitor alive!
Hurry.
Are you conscious?
Get up.
You're wasting your time.
You can't get me out of this town.
We will see whether I can or whether I can't.
Walk.
Get in.
In.
-Chief.
-We're going to find whatever there is.
Ouz is on the line for you.
-Ouz.
-Sir.
I've got the package.
I've already sent the
photo. For your information.
Well done, my boy!
Well done, to you!
But, I have some bad news.
I've been made.
I need to get out of here immediately.
Okay, what's your status at the moment?
Stabil, I'm in the safe house.
But, sooner or later they will find this place.
I believe the roads in and
out of town have been blocked.
Alright. Don't worry.
Wait for my call.
Mind yourself, alright, son?
Got it.
There is some kind of ruckus but I
can't figure out what's happening.
I swear, I don't know, sister.
There's nothing serious.
He should get some rest and lots of fluids.
If he takes this medicine he'll feel better.
I wrote how to use the medication inside.
It says to wait for the red mask.
They're coming.
Red mask.
Sir.
Zeki, what is your status?
It's developing faster than I guessed.
Look, the operation began early.
Move up your celebration.
Take your position and wait
for my instructions, alright, son?
Let Sahra know too.
Yes, Sir.
Bro, how's it going?
Yes, yes.
We've moved up the celebration.
The musicians are ready, aren't they?
Great. Great.
We want them to play every genre, bro.
Domestic, foreign, mixed.
Alright?
Thanks, my brother.
You're the best. Thanks. Thank you.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Maybe I should go into the event
planning business when I retire.
It's really good work.
Yeah, I swear.
Sir, we have contact.
The militant, codenamed
Butcher, is on the line.
Is he next in command?
He has command.
Okay, video link him to me right now. Come on.
Yes, Sir.
Should I call you Butcher
or by your name, Johny?
Or both together, Butcher Johny.
The lives of 49 people are at my mercy.
So you're saying let's
get straight to the point.
Ok, then, first, take a look at this.
Zeynep, send the photo.
Yes, Sir.
Did you get a good look?
There are somethings that are at our mercy.
We have your commander Ferec.
If we get the hostages back safe and sound,
you'll get Ferec the same way.
If it were up to me, I would
have cut them to pieces.
But I too am a servant of order.
My offer is open and clear.
Give us the hostages, get Ferec.
Now, go speak to whomever you need,
your boss or your subordinate,
do whatever you need,
and let me know as soon as possible. Go on.
Ferec is here, in town.
You're going to scour the whole town
and turn it upside down!
You will bring Ferec to
me with that traitor! Quick!
I'm listening.
Listen carefully.
They've kidnapped Ferec.
If something happens to him,
you're going to kill all the hostages.
Wait for my call.
Got it.
Raise your weapons.
Everyone be ready.
-What's happening?
-What's happening, brother?
They fed the bullets into
the chambers of the guns.
We've managed somehow so far.
But if we come to the end, even though
we are unarmed, we will go down fighting.
Let's, bro.
Walk. I'll shoot you in the head, walk.
Not there, here.
Quick. Hurry, hurry!
As an agency, we're sorry we couldn't provide
a very luxurious environment.
You will have to make do.
If you are smart, you'll live a long life.
Keep your head down.
Down!
Half-hearted.
Selamun aleykum.
Aleykum salam.
I'm taking the trash, should I pass?
All cars are being
searched. Butcher has orders.
Can't you see the car is full of garbage?
Brother, the situation is very very serious.
Ferec is missing, a traitor has infiltrated us.
The butcher gave strict orders.
Everyone, every vehicle
will be searched thoroughly.
No one will leave town without an urgency.
You wait your turn.
They'll let you pass soon.
After all, you are serving the public.
Got it bro, thanks.
It's empty.
Look at me. Don't raise your head.
If you make a sound we'll both die.
Start walking. Walk.
Head down.
C'mon, walk.
Damned reception!
Where the hell is the driver?
What's happening here?
What is this honking sound?
We're looking for the driver.
He must have gone to take a dump.
How long has this truck been here?
It must be something like 20 minutes.
I finished searching the cars in front,
then I noticed this one just sitting here.
Door guard.
This is Butcher.
Have you seen any vehicles in your vicinity.
No vehicles have entered.
Only a garbage truck pulled
over to the garbage dump.
They're probably junk dealers from the city.
Don't take your eyes off of that truck.
Let me know its location, alright?
Yes, sir.
Don't leave this place unattended.
Look here, follow me with the truck.
You, follow me.
We're heading to the dump.
C'mon, c'mon.
C'mon, Ouz, step on it.
Couldn't you find a bigger vehicle than that?
It's not me in the truck, get out of there.
What? It isn't you in the truck?
It isn't, get out of there.
Don't you dare.
Don't you dare.
Oh, Sahra, oh.
Take her to my car.
Go on.
Go on.
Come on. Get in the vehicle, come on.
Sir, they've got Sahra.
Ouz, move to the north of town, right away.
Sir, they've got Sahra.
Don't worry about Sahra.
We'll take care of her.
That is not your concern.
Make your way north as soon as you can.
If you leave right away, you
could have a chance. Now, now!
Ouz, I've given you your mission.
Continue the mission.
Straight north!
Do you hear me?
I said, straight north.
Ouz!
Ouz!
Son, don't do this, don't! Don't! Don't!
I'm not buying it.
Don't. I know you can hear me.
Look, I'm telling you, go north.
Do you hear me?
There is no reception, I can't hear you.
Don't, son. Don't, man.
Ouz, don't do this, man.
Don't! Allah damn it, don't!
Walk, man.
Walk.
Mustafa.
Inform Special Forces. Have them be ready.
If things go for the worse,
our fists needs to come down hard on them.
Yes, Sir.
Ouz, man.
Look girl, we embarked
on this road to die or to kill.
But the truth is...
Do you know what the truth is?
I was indeed a butcher.
I was both a good butcher and a good cook.
In my previous life.
My ignorance period.
May Allah forgive my sins.
I would make such delicious pork ribs
that people would make a que.
They would eat their fingers.
O Allah, forgive my sins, O Lord.
Come on eat!
Bite!
How is it?
It's good, isn't it? Good.
Look!
Look! Don't underestimate a woman, huh!
She's well trained.
Now, is she eating because she's hungry? No.
She'll eat whatever we give her.
Because why?
She needs to be strong and resilient
to withstand the questioning!
Look, girl.
I don't have any habits of
getting along with prisoners,
playing good cop, bad cop.
I start directly with the torture.
Now, let's just nicely find
one of your weak spots.
Eyes.
Eyes. No, that's not it.
Lips. Eh?
Eh?
In that case let's go a little lower.
Oh, very nice.
Very nice.
But first I want to land
a kiss on your shoulder!
C'mon.
C'mon, scream!
C'mon, I want to hear you moan. Scream!
Scream, c'mon!
What were you doing at the dump?
How many of you are there in town?
Where is Ferec?
I don't know.
I don't know anything.
I went to the dump to look
for junk. I don't know anything.
So, you want to take the difficult route.
Okay. Alright.
Alright.
Look girl, there are only two
ways you get out of here, get it?
Either you give me what I
want and out in one piece,
or your head will be separated from your body!
Do you understand that? Ha?
Selamun aleykum, brother.
Go on in, the soup is still warm.
Where's Ferec?
I don't know anything.
C'mon! Scream!
Scream!
I was just leaving, but you
have your share coming.
Do you have anything to put it in?
I've no clean cups or bowls left.
I've got my own.
It's really late, why don't you take off.
I'll take these to the kitchen.
That would be great, thanks.
It's shameful to brag about it but I snagged
a beautiful slave at the market today.
She 16 at best.
I came all the way here
without putting a hand on her.
-Tell me, where is Ferec?
-I really appreciate this.
-I don't know.
-Thanks, a lot.
C'mon, scream!
C'mon.
Now.
Come on, tell me!
Look girl.
If you don't give me what I want
I will make that beautiful face of yours
unrecognizable, do you understand?
I don't know anything.
We are junk dealers, I don't know anything.
I get it, girl. You are going to make me work.
But I don't have time.
Now, I'm going to have 10 of my men come here.
Do you know what I'm going to do?
I'm going to establish one rule.
They aren't going to kill you.
But they can do to you whatever they like.
Do you understand?
I will be back in one hour to see
if you've changed your mind or not.
Selamun aleykum.
The cook sent me. Someone asked for soup.
What soup, man?
We didn't ask for soup.
For Allah's sake?
Didn't anyone ask for soup?
Are you kidding us right now?
I knew you would come.
Would I leave you to the cannibals?
Over there.
Do you have Ferec?
I've got the package.
Don't worry.
-Are you alright?
-Let's get out.
-Let's get out.
-Can you walk?
Let's go.
Come, come.
Take this.
Come. Sit over here.
Let me take a look.
It's alright.
It's going to be alright.
Does it hurt a lot?
I'm dealing with it.
Clench your jaw.
Clench your jaw.
It's over.
Welcome to the club.
What?
Welcome to what?
We formed a secret club within the agency.
We only include field agents who have survived
questioning under torture.
It's a secret.
Nobody knows.
This must be a new
establishment. I never heard of it.
It's not official.
I told you, it's a secret.
Secret.
So, now, I'm in, is that it?
Of course, you are.
Besides, you are the only
female member of this club.
There are no other women.
Alright, if I may ask,
what happens when you enter this club?
Actually, not much.
But on the other hand, a lot happens.
We sit and talk about our secrets that
we don't talk to anyone else about,
that no one else knows about, not our friends,
not even our families...
Actually it's a club where
those who don't speak
even during torture, speak
to their heart's content.
So, it's a secret.
Is that it?
Is there anything else like a
secret, you Turkmen beauty.
Look, they say that rust rots
iron and secrets rot people.
Is it a lie?
For so many minutes I've been telling
you about my secret, you forgot your pain.
That's right. But I wish
you hadn't reminded me.
It passed.
It will pass.
Sir, Ouz is on the line.
Ouz.
Sir, I've got Sahra.
She's safe.
Oh yes! Thank the Lord!
Are you all well?
Yes, we are.
Good, nice.
I see the phone is better too. It's been fixed.
Sir, it does this every now and then.
I have to get a new one when I'm back.
Get the hell out of here!
I've been down that road long before you.
Whatever, this issue is not closed,
we'll talk about it later.
The town is in upheaval,
will you be able to get out?
I'll be out in at most a half hour.
Let's continue our plan from where we left it.
That is of course, if your surprise is ready.
It's ready. It's ready. Everything is ready.
Continue with the plan.
Alright then.
Got it.
Let me get some water.
Let me get some water.
Down, down, down.
I said, walk.
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon.
Go to that vehicle. Check if it has fuel.
Alright. Go, go.
Open my mouth, I'm going to say something.
Go.
Get in.
Open my mouth, I'm going to say something.
Stop moving around, I'll
put a bullet in your brain.
Open my mouth.
C'mon, open it. Open my mouth.
Open my mouth. C'mon.
Turkmen girl,
what are they going to pay you?
So, it's come to that, eh?
To how much I make.
Why do you ask?
You'll double it.
Double, triple, quadruple, whatever you say.
And then I'm going to help you, eh?
I'm going to help you buy and sell women
like property and enslave them, am I?
Look, I know there are some wrong practices.
But when our state fully establishes its order,
women will be comfortable too.
Believe me.
Look at me. Don't raise your head.
That man might be an officer, but I am not.
I have neither a supervisor nor a manager.
If you talk some more and blow off my top,
I'll empty the magazine in your head.
Now, get inside.
-Alright.
-Get inside, shut up.
Alright, alright.
Get inside.
There's a dead here.
What happened? Who shot him?
Sahra, hold on tight.
Who's here?
Everyone take your place. Block the way!
Close the road, do not run
away. Everyone get a car.
Come to your senses!
Everyone listen here!
Listen!
What's the number of the truck they took?
I saw it, they're in number 6.
That's right. I saw them too, it's number 6.
Ferec had cell phones placed in all the trucks
in case our brother,
the suicide bomber driving
the truck, succumbed to his ego.
I have all the numbers.
We're gonna call that
phone and blow up the truck!
Ferec might be there too, though.
These lands must be
irrigated not only with enemy
blood, but also with our
blood, when necessary!
Head down! Head down!
Hold on tight.
If he is so destined Ferec
will become a martyr.
Come on faster, faster!
Allahu Akbar!
Allahu Akbar!
Allahu Akbar!
There has been an explosion in town.
Let's just say a little
surprise from us to them.
I changed the telephones.
Allahu Akbar!
-Allahu Akbar!
-Be quiet.
Allahu Akbar!
He fooled us! He changed the telephones!
Our trucks are gone!
Ferec is gone!
-Where is he?
-It can't be!
Turn yourself in, then.
Alright, don't cry! Alright!
-Alright, don't cry!
-This can't be.
-Come to your senses!
-This can't be.
Alright.
This was his destiny.
And so was your destiny.
You will die and Ferec will live.
Ferec still has days to live!
This is a sign!
What are we going to do now, Butcher?
If they don't give us our commander,
we're going to kill all of the hostages.
-Takbir!
-Allahu Akbar!
-Takbir!
-Allahu Akbar!
Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar!
C'mon.
Go on!
TURKEY BORDER STATION
Get down.
Walk.
Walk!
Yes.
Sir, we are at the delivery point.
Alright, Ouz, I've arrived.
Wait for my instructions.
Understood.
Sit.
Sit!
I'm listening.
There is a bridge about 6 kilometers from
the factory where you're keeping the hostages.
Ferec is waiting for you at that bridge.
You're going to bring all the hostages
to the bridge in a bus.
Then you are going to send us the bus,
we're going to send you Ferec. Got it?
Good.
I'll call you on this number
when the hostages are ready.
Look at me!
Now, listen carefully.
Drive the bus into the factory hangar.
Get all the hostages on the bus.
Tell them they're being saved.
That our wishes have been met,
and that they will be delivered
to Turkey freely and safely.
Let them rejoice.
Show them a smile.
Let them rejoice in peace.
Record everything.
Record every second of it.
Send the video to me.
The bus has moved, sir.
The connection is ready, sir.
Put him thru.
This is Butcher, the hostages are on their way.
They're about to get to the bridge.
How are the hostages doing?
See for yourself.
Tell Zeki to take his position.
Yes, sir.
Eagle, take your position.
Sahra.
Walk.
Walk.
C'mon, walk.
Yes guys, all of you focus well.
Open your eyes.
We've made it this far, let's finish this now.
Here you go.
Ouz, we're starting.
Let me see you son, come on.
Understood.
Send Commander Ferec!
Send the bus.
Record everything, every second.
Then stop the recording.
Lock them all up again.
You will kill them all when
either Commander Ferec
or I give you the order.
On live broadcast.
Be prepared, brothers. Our mission is very big.
We are ready, commander.
Allah Akbar!
Allah Akbar!
Allah Akbar!
Sahra.
Zeki, go in Allah's name.
-Start.
-I'm starting.
Red mask.
Red mask.
Quiet.
