Why didn't you wake me up

It was crosswind on landing,
so I tapped a little hard.
You got scolded?

had struck again.
Very funny.
No, no, this isn't allowed. I need to be
in good shape for the meeting.
Yes but,
I prefer the traditional method.

- Yes.
Are you OK?

Do you have news from investors?
The second phase is here.
Michel is going to come
on the building site.
- Will you be there?
- It's your project. You don't need me.
It's your company.
- Your name.
- It's true.
I want to convince them
if we're going to aim higher.
Higher? It's not high enough
for you?
You want to impress your old dad,
so you want me to come.
Exactly.
What are you talking about?
Your mother is sending me
her new manuscript.
- You finished it?
- Yes.
- You'll send it, OK?
- Yes.
You never calmed down.
The only thing that calms me down
is to fly.
If I don't fly, I get crazy.
- Did you watch the news today?
- No.
A French guy died in Siria.
He wanted to fight against islamists.
- Can I show you something?
- What is it?
- The video of the explosion.
- Do we have to see it?
It's very quick.
Here.
That woman. Don't you think
she looks like her? Like Anna?
It's
It's true. There is something
It's out of focus
Yes but
The appearance.
What she does with her hair
That small gesture.
It's incredible.
Incroyable.
I'm sorry, mother. Forgive me.
That's why you seemed absent
at the hospital?
It's weird, right?
- You see what you want to see.
- No.
- My parents saw it too.
- You convinced them.
And I think you shouldn't have
shown them that video.
- You stress them with your theories.
- What?
It's better not to talk about it?
- It's not what I said.
- I moved on.
When was the last time I talked
about her death?
You still think about it.
It's not fixed. That's the proof.
It's impossible,
there are still too many questions.
They found her watch.
- Her body was
- They have identified her.
I know.
Listen.
I didn't want to hurt you.
But you have to move on.
You understand?
You're right.
I need to stop thinking about it.
I'm going to stop. I promise.
- Hello?
- Hello, Mehmet? This is Antoine Habert.
I talked to your foreign news
department. They gave me your number.
Ah, yeah, yeah.
I read your email.
But I wasn't there.I don't know
the woman you're looking for.
Maybe there's someone else
I can talk to?
Someone who might know her?
Maybe the American from the video.
He was only injured.
They put him in a hospital
here in Istanbul.
Really?
From the video? Can you reach him?
I'd love to talk to him.
I don't know.
It's not that easy.
They're here.
Listen, if it's a matter of money,
I will send you some.
I really, really need
to talk to him, okay?
You know what?
Let me see what I can do.
No promises, huh?
Thank you, Mehmet.
Thank you so much.
- Hello.
- How're you doing?
- It's going well, right?
- Yes, it's impressive.
Let's talk budget.
SIRIA. 73.000 DEATHS in 2013.
THE BLOODIEST YEAR.
The kurdish YPG are known
to have many women fighters.
- You're pregnant?
- Yes. Triplets.
- What's that?
- Your mother's new book.
It's really good.
Really?
Call me. I am with Luke.
- Do you want a coffee?
- Yes, thank you.
- Hello?
- Hello, Mehmet?
This is Antoine Habert,
you know?
Yes. I'm in the hospital now
with the American soldier.
Please talk to him.
This is the French guy
I told you about.
Hey, man. It's Luke Murphy.
- I'm sorry to disturb you.
- It's okay.
Mehmet showed me the video.
He said you're looking for Shamaran.
She's solid, man.
The woman in the video,
her name is Shamaran?
- Committed as fuck.
- Is she Kurdish?
No, man, she's French.
I thought you knew her.
- Hey, buddy, you still there?
- She's French? Are you sure?
Yeah, man, for sure.
She had a sexy French accent.
What's her name? Is it Anna?
I don't know her European name.
Here, we call her Shamaran.
- She's with the Aleppo battalion.
- Okay, wait.
I just sent you a photo.
Is it the woman you know?
Did you get it?
- Oh, shit--
- Luke, I have to talk to her.
- Sorry, man, I gotta hang up.
- Luke?
CALL ENDED
Are you OK? Antoine?
Antoine?
The girl with the ponytail
on the video
- I talked with one of the guys.
- What?
I talked with him,
and the call was cut off.
Wait, I don't understand.
He recognized Anna?
I sent him a pic.
He reacted but the call ended.
But she's French. He told me so.
He didn't recognize her.
He just said she was French.
- It's a crazy coincidence.
- Yes, that's what it is, a coincidence.
Why didn't you tell me
you were doing this?
I needed to talk
to somebody there.
You read the report
ten thousand times.
She died in a terrorist attack
in Cairo.
You've got all the evidence,
all the testimonies. You know it's her.
Anna Haber.
06/04/2012.
96% matching DNA.
Dental identification, 95%.
They could have made a mistake.
It happens all the time.
So what's more credible?
She's still alive, in Siria.
An archeologist reborn in Siria.
You're just trying to convince yourself
of something crazy,
because you feel guilty.
I'm sorry.
I know it's not
what you want to hear.
We need to talk about it.
I'll be back in three days.
We'll talk about it
as soon as I'm back.
Sophie, I hope I don't disturb you.
I'm going away for three days.
Everything is fine.
Don't worry.
Yeah, Bruno will calm down.
Of course
Mehmet. It's Antoine Habert.
Please call me back. It's very urgent.
Can you wait for me here?
- Excuse me. Orthopedic, please.
- Yes?
- Over there.
- Thank you.
Hello?
I'm here to see Luke Murphy.
- Leave.
- Do you speak English? French?
It's forbidden, leave!
I only need five minutes with
Luke Murphy, please. Five minutes.
Okay, it's Okay?
I told you to leave!
You're not listening.
Okay, okay.
I'm leaving. Okay.
Sorry.
- Hello?
- Mehmet, where have you been?
Antoine, you have no idea
what happened.
I was arrested in the hospital
because of you.
I spent the whole night
in the police station.
- What? Why?
- The American.
He helped the Kurds.
You know it's not accepted here.
So, this is why they don't want me
to see Luke. I went to the hospital.
What do you mean?
You are in Istanbul?
Yes. I have to talk to him about
the French woman, Shamaran.
Forget it. They are going
to deport him out of the country.
There is no talking to him,
or you will be arrested, too!
No, no, no!
I came just for him.
You are not listening to me.
It's not possible, Antoine!
So, what can I do? I'm not leaving
without that information.
Listen, if you want information
about the Kurds, go to Reyhanli.
It's a city next to the border.
You want to find out
about the girl? Go there.
- Is it safe?
- The safest place around.
All European reporters
go there.
Can you come with me?
No, no way. I have to keep
a low profile for a while.
I paid you to help me,
so let's find the solution.
I will contact you with my guy
in Reyhanli, Talal.
- He will help you, okay?
- Thank you, Mehmet.
Bonjour, hello. I'm going to
the airport, please. Domestic flights.
Are you feeling better?
Yes, don't worry.
I'm calm now.
What are you doing?
I'm at home. I'm watching TV.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
- Hello.
- Hello.
I'm Talal.
- You know why I'm here?
- Ya, habib.
You cannot come here
and ask about the Kurds.
This is Turkey. Are you crazy?
I was told I could get
some help in this place.
No, no, no. If someone sent you here,
he must come with you.
Mehmet, the journalist,
told me about this place.
You are a journalist?
No, I'm not.
I'm looking for a French woman
who's with the Aleppo battalion
of the YPJ.
Here, look.
This woman.
I just wanna talk to her.
Who is she?
Someone I care about.
Do you know a way
of calling them?
Call how, habib?
There is no phone there.
- But, you can go there and ask.
- No, no, no, I cannot go into Syria.
Why not? It's too close.
It's only one hour by car.
I go there every week
to bring money for the family.
Can you go there for me?
I will pay you.
- To the Kurds?
- Yeah.
- No problem.
- Just wanna find this woman.
- She calls herself Shamaran.
- Easy. And?
I need a picture of her.
I will try.
If she say yes picture, you pay.
If she say no picture,
you pay.
- You said it's one-hour drive?
- To Tel Assan?
- Yeah.
- Yeah, it's easy. It's only one hour.
Is it safe?
What about ISIS, the rebels?
No, no, no. ISIS are in Rakka.
That is too far. And also, no rebels.
Only Kurds.
They are very nice.
And all the Western journalists
go in and out all the time.
- Can you take me there?
- You said you cannot go to Syria.
No, I'm just trying to understand.
If we do that now--
I can't drive with you night. But
I can take you tomorrow early.
You decide for you.
Okay.
- We'll be back by noon, right?
- For sure.
- Habib.Now, we walk.
- Okay.
- We're in Syria?
- No. We're still in Turkey.
Good morning.
Good morning, Sheikh.
How are you?
Good morning.
Good morning Amani.
What's to eat?
Cheese and olive Fatayer. The best
in the camp. I made them myself.
Go away!
Go away, move!
From today?
No, from tomorrow.
Of course, from today.
Yallah, give me four.
- Wait, wait I'm gonna pay.
- Thanks.
Thank you.
- Let's go.
- Bye!
Fatayer J'ibna.
Try it.
All the people here,
they're refugees from Syria?
Don't be too sad.
People here are still alive.
We do what we need to do, understand?
Whatever we need.
- Stop!
- What?
Welcome to Syria.
This is the border?
No checkpoint, no fence?
I told you. It's easy.
Let's go.
Habib.
This is my cousin, Fouad.
He will drive us.
I brought you a Fatayer.
Let's go.
Why do you need a rifle?
You said it's safe.
Habib.We are in Syria,
so all the people have one.
It's normal. Let's go.
Let's go!
Shortcut.
Easy.
Habib, there are your
Kurds friends.
I will go talk with them.
- The Frenchman is in the car?
- Yes.
Go and get him!
First pay.
We said 30 thousand dollars.
It's too expensive.
I'll give you 15.
What's going on?
Fouad?
No. Fuck you.
We had a deal.
Maybe I just shoot you in the head
and take him for free.
Pray to the prophet.
You make one move,
and my cousin kills him.
Yallah ya Emir.
I thought the Islamic State
had honor.
Pay him.
There's one alive.
- Don't shoot!
- Get up!
- I don't understand--
- Get up!
Come on, get up!
Come, come.
Come on.
Stop there!
Take off your clothes!
Faster.
- Take off your clothes! Faster!
- Okay, okay, okay.
Turn around.
Turn around.
Faster.
Ok. On your knees!
On your knees!
Please.
- Ok, take him.
- Please.
Faster, filthy dog.
Come on, come on.
Filthy dog!
Faster. Come on.
They got one alive.
ISIS scum.
Take him to the cell.
ISIS scum.
My name is Antoine Habert.
I'm a French citizen. I need--
Who sends you?
Where were you going?
You speak french?
Please help me.
- The others are wrong.
- What are you doing here?
I'm here to look for my sister.
She's with you. With the YPG.
She's called Anna,
but here she goes by Shamaran.
You did a stupid thing
coming here.
It's not a good day
to reach Daech.
