1
Enemy reinforcement is coming your way.
We can't hold them back.
Engaging fire comrades!
ISI reinforcement. They're on their way.
- We have people to block them, right?
- They got through.
To all forces.
- Shamaran.
- What's going on?
- Get out now. They're coming your way.
- Where are they?
Just 400 meters away down the road.
Don't stay there.
Okay. To all forces, withdrawal!
I won't make it to you.
We'll meet in Al Bab.
To the headquarters,
to the headquarters.
She's pulling out for the meeting point.
We'll see her over there.
- Go, go, go!
- Well done, comrades!
There's nothing we can do now.
We'll get her out of there.
But first, we have to drive through six
kilometers in ISIS-controlled territory.
If we run into a patrol or a blockroad,
we'll have to retreat.
We can't help her.
That's the orders. Let's go.
Nasser! Nasser!
You're okay?
All right. Gimme that.
You okay? Are you hurt? You hurt?
I'm okay, man. I'm okay. I'm okay.
Where's Iyad?
Where's Iyad?
- Is he hurt? What happened?
- He's at the back.
Allah Akbar! Allah Akbar!
Allah Akbar!
Allah Akbar!
Allah Akbar!
Allah Akbar!
Allahu akbar! Allahu akbar!
Allahu akbar!
Take this house.
Drive strait to Qamishli,
we'll wait for her here.
Drink. It'll warm you up.
Thank you. Any news?
She won't use her radio
until she's close.
It'd be too risky.
We can wait for her until dawn
but then we'll have to leave.
I understand.
She looked so calm
when she got to them.
Point blank, in the head.
We take them as prisoners
whenever we can.
When we can't
I know.
Hey.
Don't worry.
- How are you feeling?
- Just a concussion.
You see Iyad?
Shahid
now.
Hey. Hey, hey, hey. Stop.
Stop. Be happy.
It was all our end games, remember?
We must leave.
They set up a roadblock
between Sihel and Qamishli.
We have to walk through the ravine.
I'm staying.
Okay.
It's not a good idea
but I guess I won't change your mind.
You'll be safe here, but if they get
close you'll have to leave.
Even if you sister hasn't arrived.
I will. Don't worry.
I'm sorry I didn't tell you
your sister was alive.
I should have told you.
It's okay. I understand. I really do.
What happened out there, Nas?
It was an ambush.
They attacked us with a missile.
- Fucking
kuffar.
- Yeah.
They were lucky this time though, yeah?
Yeah.
See
the bit that I can't get
my head around
is why you decided
to run after the Libyan.
- Abu Rida saw me and he insist--
- Abu Rida, yeah?
- Abu Rida insisted, did he?
- Yeah--
You shut the fuck up! You shut the
fuck up! I know you're fucking lying!
I'm giving you a chance
to be honest with me!
You left your jacket in the car,
and I found this inside.
What is this?
Don't lie to me.
Bro. I swear down.
Iyad weren't supposed to be there.
I was trying to watch over him there.
Fuck, man.
That motherfucker lied to me, man.
- Who lied to you?
- He fucking lied to me.
- Who lied to you? Who is he?
- He's fucking Israeli, man. He's Mossad.
- What the fuck are you talking about?
- You've gotta--
Fucking traitor, huh?
Fucking traitor!
Fucking do it.
Go ahead. Fucking pull the trigger.
You have lost your way, Nasser.
You have lost your way.
- Are you still in Al Bab?
- Yes. Where are you?
Close. On the other side of the village.
Let me talk to Sarya.
They left one hour ago.
I'm the only one who stayed.
Head West, towards the mountains.
I'll meet you over there, okay?
Okay.
You're insane.
Why didn't you stay with the others?
Come on. Let's go.
You were ordered to stay with Sarya.
I can take care of myself.
Really? It doesn't even seem
to matter to you if you die.
I don't want to die, don't worry.
But these things happen.
What are your plans once it's all over?
You think you can resume a normal life?
- Do you even want to do that?
- What do you want?
That we all have dinner
with Mom and Dad?
That I bring a new boyfriend over?
And you'll come with Sarya
and your cute little baby?
Yeah. That's exacly what I want.
It won't happen.
At least not for me, nor for Sarya.
When the fuck
did you turn into this person?
When you shot them,
how did it make you feel? Happy?
You know, that Libyan jihadist.
Hundreds of people die 'cause of him.
And had he had the chance,
he would have slaughtered thousands.
So yes. I'm proud I took him out.
And finishing the others off
didn't upset me a bit.
You took me on a mission
to make your point?
I don't have any point to make.
I told you, you're looking for someone
who no longer exists.
Why the fuck do you
Follow me. Be quiet.
Watch out and be quiet.
OK. All right.
- Stop!
- Don't shoot!
- ISIS patrol.
- What happened?
She was hit in the stomach.
- She's been bleeding for how long?
- About ten minutes.
It looks like she has air trapped,
and it's pressuring the lungs.
Ready? Go. You'll be fine.
Sarya? Do you hear me?
You have to get
all the air out of your lungs.
On the count of three,
hold you breath.
Ready?
It's gonna hurt
but you don't have a choice.
Ready?
Chin up! One, two, three.
Keep exhaling.
Stay with us. Come on.
Sheikh Abu Yasser calls for you.
Peace be upon you.
Sit.
Brothers.
I understand your feeling right now.
Many of my friends became shahids.
It is never easy.
Brother Abu Seif,
may Allah have mercy on his soul,
was your friend.
So, it's up to you
to make a decision.
Do you want us to publish his name as a
Shahid and a hero of the Islamic State?
Personally, I think we should wait.
We don't want to expose you.
We trust your judgement, sheikh.
Cheer up, brothers.
We've waited 40 years,
but this time our victory is assured.
Sheikh--
Iyad's widow
I'd like to marry her.
I'll take care of her for him.
I don't see why not.
And my son. I've changed my mind.
I don't want him here.
I want to devote myself to Jihad.
If my son is here,
it'll distract me from my mission.
Anything else?
Thanks, sheikh.
I thought you'd turn me in.
Why did you do this to us?
Well, fuckin' look at this place, man.
- This is not Islam--
- No, no, we talked about this.
This is a transitionary stage.
I thought you knew this.
So, when did this start?
Before we came here?
Yeah.
We forgave you. We let you back in.
So what now?
So, what now, man?
I prayed for Allah to show me the way.
And he showed me
that we are still brothers.
- Okay?
- Okay.
Why?
'Cause it's not about the Caliphate
anymore. It's about us.
It's about you and me and Iyad.
Because all he ever wanted to do was
save your soul from the fires of hell.
Bro, it's too late, man.
You can't save me
No, no, no.
The Jew spy. Where is he now?
- What?
- The Jew spy. Where is he?
- He's still here, in Syria.
- Then he is a gift from Allah.
We are gonna make him pay
for what he has done to us.
- Be happy, brother.
- Yeah.
Be happy because you are going
to paradise today to see Iyad.
And that is how we will save your soul.
You'll be saved.
Her condition is very bad, I'm afraid.
We stopped the bleeding,
but the bullet hit the bone,
and the small shrapnel
penetrated the left lung.
So, without an operation, just a matter
of time before her lungs collapse.
So why you don't operate?
We need a specific machine,
so called ECMO.
But look around here.
We even don't have enough medicine,
so, of course,
we don't have this machine.
I don't think there is even
one like this in all Syria.
So, where? Maybe there's
a machine like that in Iraq.
Maybe, but it doesn't matter.
We don't even have
an equipment to transfer her.
She's not going to survive the trip.
So now, would you excuse me?
- Why are you here?
- I have to talk to Gilia.
We're having a meeting.
We'll continue afterwards.
Comrade Gilia. I'm sorry to disturb you,
but we have to help Sarya.
We need to take her
to a better hospital.
Do you think Sarya is sorry
for the life she chose?
She fought with people she loved
to save people she loved.
Her life had a meaning.
Go back to the hospital.
Sit next to her.
Be with her
when she leaves this world.
But don't go to mourn,
but to honor the love and friendship
we shared with her.
- Antoine!
- What do you want?
Who am I talking to?
Anna or Shamaran?
My sister may have completely
disappeared.
You don't have any empathy left.
Sarya's dying and no one gives a crap.
What do you want?
That we act as if there
wasn't a war around us?
You said you came here
because of something you did before.
But it wasn't because
of what you did to us, right?
You never apologized for this.
Not once.
Are you at least remoseful?
Do you have any sense of guilt?
Do the things that you left
behind even make you sad?
I knew it.
May I sit?
- Not changed your mind?
- I'll do what needs to be done.
Tall guy? Four bodyguards?
Yeah. I'll hug him
so you'll know it's him.
That'll be my cue to fire.
Good luck, brother.
Stop where you are!
Put the rifle on the ground.
Slowly.
Now, take off your clothes.
- What the fuck?
- Order from Stanley.
Take them off, please.
- Where is he?
- Your clothes!
What the fuck?
Everything.
Get dressed.
Move.
No
Motherfucker
The fuck, Stanley? Fuck off me, man.
What the fuck is this all about?
Why've you got these
fucking guys here, man?
The fuck off me!
I have to ask you, Nasser.
Have you been compromised?
- What?
- Your Koran has been tampered with.
Someone's tried to open it up.
I'm gonna ask you one more time.
Have you been compromised?
The Koran was with me when
the fuckin' Libyan got killed, yeah?
Blast sent me
fucking flying in the air.
Would've got banged up
when it hit the ground.
The fuck were you doing there?
I told you explicitly not to go there.
I went there to get Iyad!
- He's dead.
- Oh, fuck.
I knew there were casualties,
but I didn't know he was one of 'em.
- I'm sorry.
- You're sorry?
Is that why you got these fucking guys
that strip-searched me
like a little fucking bitch, yeah?
You know what?
You're lucky they're here, mate. Yeah?
'Cause I would've fucking killed you,
right here, right now.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. All right.
What happened?
Man I tried to save him, man. I--
I thought I could as well.
Come here.
You can't blame yourself.
You know, you're not responsible
for other people's decisions.
The Libyan is dead.
I've handed him to you, yeah?
So now, I can leave?
- Not yet.
- Please?
Not when you're so close?
All right. How much longer?
What's the fucking plan?
Here. Follow me.
Come on.
So, I'm afraid I can't stay
in Syria much longer.
I'm needed at home.
I wanted to introduce you
to your new handler.
This is Sophie.
Sophie, this is Nasser Yassin.
Stanley has spoken highly of you.
Such an honor to work with you.
I'll visit once in a while, but ongoing
communication will be through Sophie.
She's one of the best.
Knows the territory here
like the back of her hand.
Yeah. We'll start talking
about communication protocol?
Yeah.
The ambulance is on its way
to Qamishli.
I went to great lengths
to help your brother.
Thank you.
Gotta be clear
with you about something, Anna.
This time, you are in it to the end.
'Cause if you decide you want out,
I expect there to be some
pretty unpleasant consequences.
That's not gonna happen.
I'll keep our deal.
Hey!
It's good to have you back.
Get out of the fucking car, Nasser!
- Wait, wait, wait--
- Get out of the fucking car!
Put the gun down, man. Listen to me.
He already fucking knew.
- He suspected.
- You're lying to me!
No, man! No way! He knew someone
had messed with the Koran!
- You're fucking lying. You warned him.
- Fucking put the--
You fucking had to tell him, didn't you?
You fucking warned him and you
betrayed us one last time, didn't you?
Of course I fucking wouldn't, man.
He's leaving Syria.
- He's leaving Syria.
- Get on your fucking knees.
- No, man. Don't do it.
- Get on your fucking knees!
Get on your knees now.
Pray with me.
Surat A-nas.
In the name of God
Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Say, "I seek refuge
in the Lord of mankind,"
"The God of mankind"
"From among the jinn and mankind."
"The God of men,
from the evil of whispering devil"
"Who whispers
in the hearts of men."
"From demons and from men."
Obsessive whisperer.
The whispering devil.
His name is Stanley,
and I'm gonna kill him.
No matter what.
He left this French woman here
to replace him.
We use her to get to him.
And we're gonna kill them both.
It's me and you, bro.
Sir, can you step outside, please?
- What?
- Just step up outside.
The medical team is
going to take some tests.
What?
And then we're taking her to another
hospital. Just wait outside.
What are you talking about?
What hospital?
Wait outside.
Sarya's being transferred to another
hospital. That's all they told me.
She's being transferred
to Turkey by ambulance.
- Turkey?
- Don't worry. She won't be arrested.
All her documents are in order.
She'll be repatriated to France
where she'll be treated.
You knew about that?
You arranged everything?
You have to go.
You're on the same plane as her.
You know, if you were to come
back here or to speak out,
to let people know that I'm still alive,
you'd put us all in danger.
Dad, Mom, you and me. All of us.
So I'll
never see you again?
I won't run away.
I don't need to hide from you anymore.
I love you Anna.
I love you too, my brother.
Come on. Go!
Mr. and Mrs. Habert.
Please follow me.
Antoine!
Hey.
- How are you? You're not wounded?
- I'm fine.
- We were so worried for you.
- I'm fine. Don't worry.
I'm sorry for what I put you through.
I
- I have to go with her.
- Mr Habert.
We need to talk to you.
- He just arrived.
- I have to go with the ambulance.
The Intelligence Department
wants to talk to you.
Wait.
Did you find her?
The girl in the video?
Yeah.
It wasn't her, Mom.
Anna's dead.
