The State (2017) s01e01 Episode Script
Episode 1
Hey, little man.
~ They gave me a password, and he was supposed to tell the driver where to take me, but he's not answering.
It was all arranged but I just What -- what is it? Time to go.
We can't cross yet -- we have to wait here.
What is it, what's going on? What are you talking about? Bruv.
Welcome.
- I can't believe we're here, bruv.
- It's for you.
My friends, this is Abu Anwar Al-Brittani that I told you about.
His brother was Abu Hamid Al-Brittani, the humble one.
Mujahideen.
This way.
Dump your stuff here, yeah? Be careful.
The power's out again.
Allahu Akbar.
Allahu Akbar.
Allahu Akbar.
All right, this is my good friend, Abu Hafeez.
He doesn't speak much English.
- Assalamu alaikum.
- Wa' alaikum salam.
Yo, yo -- where you going? Home.
I thought - I thought this was home.
- Eh? No, akhi, this house is for the new arrivals, yeah? And the men who can't find women who'll marry them.
I've got my own house, bruv.
Don't worry -- look, Abu Hafeez is the Emir of the house.
He'll make sure you don't do anything stupid.
I'll catch you tourists later.
So you pay no rent or bills, you get your food and drink each month at no charge, plus an allowance.
If you need anything from the store, just let us know.
We'll get it brought in for you.
OK? On we go.
Anything you need, we can get.
Just don't go outside -- we leave that to the guys.
OK, this way.
Actually, while we're on the subject of the men, here's how it is.
Whatever you've heard, whatever you've seen on Facebook, you can't be single here.
The Prophet -- salla Allahu alayhi wa' sallam -- said marriage is half the din, and that's how it is in dawlah.
So get yourselves married as soon as possible, and we can help you with that.
Now, this .
.
is where we meet and talk and hang out together.
We do pretty much everything in here, actually.
Come on, come on, say hello.
Erm, excuse me -- why isn't everyone covered? OK, good question.
Why aren't we all covered? Well, that's because the men never come here.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
That's incredibly rude, isn't it? What I meant is men over a certain age never come here.
So we can relax and be ourselves.
Oh, look at me forgetting my main job -- which is to collect up your phones, please.
Oh, I need to call home.
I was told I can do that when I arrive.
- They're going to be worried.
- Well, I know, I know, sweetie, but the phones have these built-in trackers and things, so we can't take the chance.
The brothers will take a look at them.
You can call home when it's safe.
Once you're settled in.
OK? Yeah, that was for, like, if we got stopped.
It's my mother.
We don't have pictures of uncovered women here.
Maybe you should delete it.
It's better.
I did a factory reset, like they said.
What's your name? My real name or my kunyah? We don't use real names around here.
- Abu Anwar Al-Brittani.
- Ah.
You're the brother of Abu Hamid No.
Did you know him? Were you born Muslim? Abdullah.
What are your skills? Um I'm a Hafiz.
Inshallah.
So you know the whole Koran by heart? Yes.
~ ~ What else are you good at? Besides reciting the Koran, what else can you do? I'm sorry, I don't understand.
So that we can decide how to best use you.
I've come here to fight.
That's it.
- That's what you think you're doing here? - Definitely.
- No.
What do you mean, no? You're here for the worship of Allah Subhanuha Wa Ta'ala.
And to spread the worship of Allah Subhanuha Wa Ta'ala across the living lands.
Everything else is for the love of dunyah.
How was yours? Sick.
We get four weeks training, then it's game on.
- What did he ask you? - Nothing.
Why? I don't know, man.
It's like he was trying to catch me out.
They've got to be careful.
There's spies trying to come here, innit? - Can I help? - No, madam.
Can't have you cooking on the first night in Sham.
I'd like to.
OK, if you insist.
Can you cut these into strips? About that big, OK? He's so cute, Isaac.
- How old is he? - Nine.
He looks younger.
Did his father give his permission for you to travel? His father isn't around much.
It doesn't matter.
Once you make your bay'ah, all your sins are forgiven.
It doesn't matter what you did in your jahiliyyah, it's all wiped clean.
I don't know if they told you, I'm a doctor.
I want to work in the hospital in Raqqa.
That'll depend on your husband when you marry.
Why? I was told online I could practice.
I'm here to help build the state.
See what happens.
There are a lot of ways we can serve.
Our main job is to support the Mahajadin.
My hijrah isn't for anyone's benefit.
It's a test of patience.
And hardship, to see if I'm worthy to enter Jannah.
- Where's Um Haleema? - Who? Your friend.
That's the kunyah she chose.
She's not my friend.
We met on the border.
She's upstairs.
She's crying.
Why, sweetie? Because she wants to call home.
- Hi.
- We'll let you sleep.
- No, it's OK.
Mum made it.
I'm not very hungry.
It's really good.
- Where's the cutlery? - There isn't any.
We have to use our fingers.
- It's really cool.
- Isaac says you're upset.
I left without telling my parents where I was going.
I need to ring them.
They'll be worried to death.
They'll be even more worried when they know where you are.
What's the point? It's fard on every Muslim to make hijrah.
It doesn't matter what they think.
And if you know your din, you know it's also fard to keep up the ties of kinship.
Have you told your parents where you are? - No.
- Well, then.
Fear Allah and give your parents their due.
Allahu akbar - Allahu akbar.
- Allahu akbar.
- Allahu akbar.
- Allahu akbar.
Passport.
No, no.
Keep.
Passport! Passport! Put, put.
Allahu akbar.
Allahu akbar.
Your brother would be proud of you.
Rah.
Man's own five-star jihad.
You're German, right? Better get your towel down now, keep your place, yeah? Squeeze, don't jerk.
OK, girls.
All clear.
This is Um-Salaam.
Hi.
Sit down, sit down.
Come through, sit down.
Three, two, one.
OK, what do you want to know? The door is closed.
The men are outside.
No secret microphones.
This is your chance.
Ask me anything you want.
How do we get a husband? It's a good question.
You cannot leave the house.
You are covered from head to foot in black clothes.
How do you get a husband in Dollah? The answer is we help you.
Most of us are married and our husbands have friends, and their friends have friends.
And, if that doesn't work, Dollah runs a marriage bureau.
Yes, brothers who want to marry register and we help them make the right choice.
So don't worry, sisters, there is plenty to go around.
Who knows what this is? Yes.
It's a dogma belt.
Two uses for this belt.
Come here.
Come.
Raise your arms.
It's a dummy, right? First use.
No, it's not a dummy.
Why would we bother with a dummy? First use.
Who, me? Yes, you.
To blow yourself up.
Finished? First use.
To damage an enemy's defences ahead of an assault.
As a military tactic, you send in martyrs ahead of ground troops to blow a hole in the wall or on a defensive position.
Yes, and they will be green birds in Second use.
So if you're surrounded and there's no way out, take as many of them with you as you can.
Yes.
To take as many of the murtadeen with you as you can, to damage the enemy and save yourselves the pain of torture and a slow death at their hands.
So don't get too attached to the brother next to you.
His greatest wish is to be shahid -- it may be granted today or tomorrow.
Very few brothers live more than a year.
So don't worry about material things you think you need.
Keep focused on your deen and.
.
you will be next on the list for martyrdom.
Another question? Women fight with the Kurds.
Why can't we fight? OK.
I am going to be straight with you.
There is absolutely nothing for sisters to do here to take part in the fighting.
Don't believe what you see online.
There is no women's martyrdom operation, no secret sisters battalion.
They are brothers who don't get selected for operations, and get upset and start crying because they want to go.
For sisters, it's completely impossible now.
At muhajirat, get yourself a weapon and learn how to use it because, if some kafer comes in the night to kill you, you don't want to be looking for some man to protect you.
But in a time of the rasul ~ There were women who fought.
~ In times of extreme danger for the ummah, women were called on to fight.
We're not in that situation now.
Seriously, seriously, what can you do that men can't do better? Allah Azzawajal fashioned men to endure jihad with strength and women to bare children.
And Allah loves those who take care of their duty.
There's lots we can do in jihad.
- We can provide - Excuse me! I understand we can't fight, but looking after the wounded mujahideen was a role assigned to the sahabiyyat in the times of the prophets.
~ So we should be allowed to help with the sick and wounded, shouldn't we? Umsaber was a doctor in Dar-al-Kufr.
Why not? Dollah is calling on Muslims with all skills to come and build our new state, as long as you have your mahram and you remain covered.
Um-Walid will arrange that.
Are you some kind of soldier? Is it that obvious? Where did you fight? I don't think we are supposed to talk about our past lives, are we? You don't look like any kind of Muslim I ever met.
Is it true your brother's Abu Hameed? That's right.
That's sick, man.
He's the reason I'm here.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
How's that then? Used to read his posts, innit? He talked about you.
What happened to him anyway? Yo, allow it, yeah? He was martyred .
.
in Qurbani.
- What? - It's Sunnah to start with the left when undressing.
This convert's on it more than us, bruv.
Not sure about Captain America.
Why? There's loads of converts here, man.
A fucking soldier, how many Muslims did he kill, blud? So, what do you reckon? Deal or no deal? - Yeah, it's cool.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
- Yeah, cos instructor thinks you're Paki Rambo, brother.
Man down! Still, watch me merk you when there's brains involved, innit? - Yeah? - Yeah! - You reckon, fam? - Yeah, course.
- You're gonna merk me, bruv? - Yeah! - You're gonna merk me? What you doing? Oh, what now, Joe? What now, Joe, eh? You're gonna merk me, yeah? Are you, man? What do you say now, blud? Where's Isaac? The women are looking after him at the Macade.
Don't you miss him? It's just a few days, Ushna.
It's Umheleem.
~ I'm bursting! What's the problem? I'll wait.
Whatever.
I've never used a communal toilet before.
What, never? No.
I have my own bathroom at home.
And no-one is allowed to use it.
I know it sounds silly, but Why are you here? I'm interested.
That's easy.
To be a lioness amongst the lions.
It might be an idea to learn how to use the loos first, yeah? Sisters may follow you.
Sisters may admire you.
Praise you on Facebook.
But ignore the temptations.
It's hard, of course.
Women are the adornment of this world, and man is constantly tempted to seek her attention.
But a woman in this life is defective.
She carries urine and stool inside her, wherever she goes.
She bleeds for a week every month.
Finished! She has many deficiencies .
.
so ignore these temporary delights.
Again.
Remember that you, as a mujahid, are known to 72 women.
72 women, who are watching you.
Watching you, staring at you, every minute of every day.
Yes, the hoor al-'iyn.
A girl with the perfect eyes .
.
the perfect figure and the perfect manners.
A girl who knows no man but you .
.
who follows no-one but you and who likes no-one but you.
Remember, Shaitan works his hardest when you're on this blessed path.
Again! You don't like it? That's OK.
That's OK.
It's your fitna.
So, why do we behead the kuffar? Hmm? All it does is fill the enemy with fury.
Make America more likely to send its armies here to fight us.
It's stupid, no? No.
It's not stupid.
We want them to send their armies.
We want them to defeat us.
'When will the last day come?' Only with Allah is knowledge of the hour, sisters.
But we know it will come, when piety has given way to pride, and truth to lies.
When children are born out of wedlock.
When usury, adultery, homosexuality and the obedience of men to their wives prevail.
When sex is performed in public places, and there is no imam to lead the faithful in prayer.
When people compete with one another to construct high buildings.
When earthquakes increase.
Does any of this sound familiar? It's happening now.
The hour is approaching.
And at that hour, the army of the Mujahideen will face the invaders in Dabir, here in Shem.
And there, the Hadith tells us that our army will be defeated.
Many, many brothers will die.
Those that are left will take refuge in Jerusalem, and there but only when we are in our darkest hour .
.
when we are very nearly defeated .
.
Jesus will come.
~ He will descend at the white minaret in Damascus, clad in two yellow sheets, leaning on the shoulders of two angels.
He will lead our army to victory, and our enemies .
.
will be utterly destroyed.
Every event has been foreseen by the Prophet, sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
That is why we take the heads -- to provoke the West.
That is why we have captured Dabir -- to wait for their armies there.
Please, bring your bombs and tanks.
Let them come.
Our path to Jannah has been laid down by almighty Allah, and we are following it step-by-step.
Some of us will not live to see it, my brothers, but I promise you, wallahi, we will meet again as green birds in Jannah ~ Are you OK, bro? Yeah, good, man.
Bless.
How's it going? - Second thoughts? - No, no, no, no way.
It's just, er It's a lot to take in, still.
Yeah.
Do you remember your brother took every step you're taking, yeah? Yeah.
So, were you there when he died? No.
We were in different units by then.
I was there when he trained, though, Ak.
- He was good.
- Yeah? But Abu Issa tells me you're good, too.
I'm top of the class, bruv.
Look at us, bruv.
We started from the bottom, now we're here.
There's no easy way to tell you this.
I'm in Syria.
'Oh, my God! How could you do this?' I was told I could do my job.
How can I do it if I'm spreading disease? You must do this, OK? Many of our staff have been beheaded or shot.
You think I'm a spy.
No idea.
Just seems a bit unlikely.
More likely than you coming here to die just cos that's what your big brother did? Go, go, go! Come on.
Come on! I gave up everything to come here, and it's a one-way ticket.
~ So, there's a big battle and we've got to lose so that we can - win in the end? - It's in the Hadith.
So the world's coming to an end? Get out the way! Get out the way!
~ They gave me a password, and he was supposed to tell the driver where to take me, but he's not answering.
It was all arranged but I just What -- what is it? Time to go.
We can't cross yet -- we have to wait here.
What is it, what's going on? What are you talking about? Bruv.
Welcome.
- I can't believe we're here, bruv.

Remember, Shaitan works his hardest when you're on this blessed path.
Again! You don't like it? That's OK.
That's OK.
It's your fitna.
So, why do we behead the kuffar? Hmm? All it does is fill the enemy with fury.
Make America more likely to send its armies here to fight us.
It's stupid, no? No.
It's not stupid.
We want them to send their armies.
We want them to defeat us.
'When will the last day come?' Only with Allah is knowledge of the hour, sisters.
But we know it will come, when piety has given way to pride, and truth to lies.
When children are born out of wedlock.
When usury, adultery, homosexuality and the obedience of men to their wives prevail.
When sex is performed in public places, and there is no imam to lead the faithful in prayer.
When people compete with one another to construct high buildings.
When earthquakes increase.
Does any of this sound familiar? It's happening now.
The hour is approaching.
And at that hour, the army of the Mujahideen will face the invaders in Dabir, here in Shem.
And there, the Hadith tells us that our army will be defeated.
Many, many brothers will die.
Those that are left will take refuge in Jerusalem, and there but only when we are in our darkest hour .
.
when we are very nearly defeated .
.
Jesus will come.
~ He will descend at the white minaret in Damascus, clad in two yellow sheets, leaning on the shoulders of two angels.
He will lead our army to victory, and our enemies .
.
will be utterly destroyed.
Every event has been foreseen by the Prophet, sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
That is why we take the heads -- to provoke the West.
That is why we have captured Dabir -- to wait for their armies there.
Please, bring your bombs and tanks.
Let them come.
Our path to Jannah has been laid down by almighty Allah, and we are following it step-by-step.
Some of us will not live to see it, my brothers, but I promise you, wallahi, we will meet again as green birds in Jannah ~ Are you OK, bro? Yeah, good, man.
Bless.
How's it going? - Second thoughts? - No, no, no, no way.
It's just, er It's a lot to take in, still.
Yeah.
Do you remember your brother took every step you're taking, yeah? Yeah.
So, were you there when he died? No.
We were in different units by then.
I was there when he trained, though, Ak.
- He was good.
- Yeah? But Abu Issa tells me you're good, too.
I'm top of the class, bruv.
Look at us, bruv.
We started from the bottom, now we're here.
There's no easy way to tell you this.
I'm in Syria.
'Oh, my God! How could you do this?' I was told I could do my job.
How can I do it if I'm spreading disease? You must do this, OK? Many of our staff have been beheaded or shot.
You think I'm a spy.
No idea.
Just seems a bit unlikely.
More likely than you coming here to die just cos that's what your big brother did? Go, go, go! Come on.
Come on! I gave up everything to come here, and it's a one-way ticket.
~ So, there's a big battle and we've got to lose so that we can - win in the end? - It's in the Hadith.
So the world's coming to an end? Get out the way! Get out the way!
