Original subtitles

Oh, come on.

Alright. So, I was, uh, I was at, uh, like a market.

Like an old flea market, do you know what I'm saying?

And, um, for some reason, I was with Lindsey.

-Do you remember her? -Yeah, yeah. I remember her.

She went to school to us. Ginger, yeah?

I--I don't really remember what she looks like, if I'm honest.

You know what it's like in dreams. I just--I knew it was her. So...

So I stood there, right? And I'm eating a hamburger,

and I turn round, and she's gone.

I can't find her anywhere.

And I'm telling you now, in my dream, that pure shook me up.

What does that mean, man? I could, like,

Lindsey scared me so much that I woke up.

-What does that even mean? -What, ain't all dreams about sex?

What, you mean I still wanna fuck her?

Well, and have a burger, apparently.

Nah, though, you ain't that sophisticated though.

Nah, you got the dream wrong, mate. Ain't got nothing to do with sex.

It means you underestimate yourself.

What? What are you talking about?

Flea market, where you buy cheap crap. Hamburger, it's basic.

And as for Lindsey. Well...

You know your worth, Paul.

To be fair, he does have a point, you know.

Alright.

Nasser, can you pull the van over, please?

-I'm gonna break his face. -What?

Pull the van over. I'm gonna break his face.

No, don't blame me!

It's your subconscious, mate, not mine!

Easy, easy, easy. I gotta drive, man. Calm, calm, calm.

- Uh-huh. - Lindsey.

No, but seriously, yeah?

You dreamt 'cause you're nervous.

When you was younger, you always would dream a lot when you were nervous.

Like Iyad, when he's nervous, can't shut his fucking mouth, isn't that right?

What do you do when you're nervous?

You'd like to know. Hey.

Please. I need help.

M-m-my name is Antoine Habert. Are you with the YPJ?

Huh? I need help--

Shut up!

Base for Adar. Do you hear me?

We hear you loud and clear. Over.

We're soon leaving the lake for the base. Any news?

Over.

Everything is fine.

Did anyone try to get to the ISIS town?

No, no one tried to break the siege.

Switching to radio silence.

See you soon. Over and out.

Over and out.

Let's go.

Sarya! Sarya! Come on!

An ambulance is heading to the ISIS town.

Do we let them pass?

Glory to Him

Glory to Him

who has put these at our service

who has put these at our service

for we could not subdue them.

for we could not subdue them.

To our Lord, surely, we will return.

To our Lord, surely, we will return.

They're approaching our dead spot.

There are also civilians in the town,

it could be a real ambulance.

If we wait more, it'll be too late to stop them.

Wait.

O Allah! You are our traveling companion

O Allah! You are our traveling companion

and He who cares for our family.

and He who cares for our family.

O Allah! I seek Your protection...

O Allah!

- I seek Your protection... - Let's go, man. Come on.

Just wait, man.

...from this journey's hardships.

...from this journey's hardships.

Glory to Him...

Glory to Him...

Come on, Nas!

I'm just waiting for those trees.

They're armed.

Get your weapons! Don't let them reach the town!

Position all posts! Don't let them in!

Now, Iyad. Go.

Catch them when they come out of the dead spot!

Boys. Get ready.

Fire! Fire!

Move it! Move it!

We're just gonna get to the town, alright?

Hold it steady!

Fucking move! Go, go, go!

Hang on! We're almost there!

Oh, shit! What the fuck!

Everyone take cover!

Hey, hey!

Allahu akbar! Allahu akbar!

Allahu akbar!

Allahu akbar! Allahu akbar!

Help, comrades! Help! We have one down here!

She's losing blood.

Be strong, comrade!

Bring water, quickly!

Brothers, we brought gifts!

Get the boxes to the roof.

Come on, brothers.

It's OK. It's alright.

Hold on.

Don't be afraid, my friend! You're a lioness.

My beautiful comrade, you're a lioness...

My beautiful comrade, you're a lioness...

They're here!

They got one alive!

ISIS scum!

Take him to the cell.

ISIS scum!

-Hello, comrade. -Hello.

Let go! I'll kill him!

What's all this ruckus?

Get it together.

What happened here?

Coming here was a big mistake.

This is really not a good day to join ISIS.

You've got it wrong. I've got nothing to do with ISIS.

-You were with them. -I can explain.

I met this guy, Talal, in Turkey.

I gave him cash so he'd take me to the the Kurds in Syria.

But he tricked me, he wanted to sell me to those guys.

So you're saying we saved your life?

Where were you going with him?

Who's your contact here?

I'm not with them.

If you want to eat, talk. See you in three days.

No, wait. Please!

My name's Antoine Habert. Just check with French authorities.

Or the embassy, or my family.

My family.

Or my girlfriend. She'll be worried.

Your sister's bag flew out of the car because of the explosion,

so most of her stuff remained in one piece.

You found this watch on her body?

Yes.

Do you recognize it?

It was a gift for her birthday...

when she turned 20.

Can you tell me exactly what happened?

The terrorists used military explosives called RDX.

They put half a kilo under the driver seat.

Do you know who did this?

Maybe Al-Qaeda, maybe local terrorists.

Our security agencies are looking into that, not me.

But I don't understand.

They wanted to kill her specifically?

I mean, don't they want to hit as many people as possible?

In the announcement they made,

they wrote that your sister was an insult to Islam

because she was an infidel archaeologist in Egypt.

These are godless people.

I want to the see the body.

I'm not sure that's a good idea. Her body's not...

I want to see her.

And the furniture?

No idea.

Donate it, I don't care.

Those were her specialty.

They're delicious.

No, thank you.

Did you remove the password?

No. No one's touched it.

-Can I take it? -Of course.

The police don't need it?

Sir?

We found this in a drawer.

It's got your name on it.

Uh...

A glass of chardonnay, please.

You're French?

Have you been here long?

-I got here yesterday. -Work or holiday?

Neither.

Well, have a nice evening.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be...

I just lost my sister.

I'm here to bring back her body.

I'm sorry, I...

No, you couldn't have known.

Well, I don't want to intrude, but if you need someone to talk to...

It'll ruin your night.

I think I'll manage.

Thank you.

You're a pilot?

Co-pilot, for the moment.

-For how long? -Four years.

I've done the Paris-Cairo route for six months.

Sounds fun.

Flying or Cairo?

-Both. -Well, I love flying.

And Cairo...

I loved it to begin with, but it's pretty routine now.

It's my first time here. Not the most positive of circumstances.

Maybe you could... tell me a little bit about Cairo.

Your adventures in Cairo.

They didn't send the ambulance for nothing.

Something is about to happen.

Comrade Adar.

Gulan, go around the posts.

I want everyone on full alert. Eyes open. Go. Now.

Did you interrogate the Frenchman?

He's not cooperating.

With your permission,

I would like to attend the funerals of our fallen sisters.

To honor the martyrs and their families.

It's the very least you can do.

Anything else to say, comrade?

Sarya!

Adar is sending me to Qamishli. To the funerals.

We should all pay our respects.

-We'll come, too. -I'm going alone.

You know it wasn't your fault, right?

You couldn't have stopped it.

Yeah, man. War sucks.

Doesn't matter. I was in charge.

War sucks? This is the best you can come up with?

I thought you were supposed to be a novelist.

It's catchy. Could be the title of my new book.

-"War Sucks." -Hey, Woody!

Take a look at the prisoner. Get him water. Maybe he'll talk to you.

I'm OK, don't worry, comrades.

I'm OK, don't worry, comrades.

Run! Run! Take cover!

Move! Get down! Go! Go!

On the ground! Stay down!

Damn it!

Give me! Give me!

Too much!

One hundred meters long, seven degrees right.

Open the door!

Open the door!

I'm hurt!

I'm hurt!

It's going to be OK.

It's OK, it's OK.

- The fuck? - Don't shoot!

Don't shoot!

Don't shoot, please! Don't shoot!

She's injured. I tried to help her.

On the ground! Shoot there!

Keep moving!

They're here! Keep going! Keep going!

Bring ammunition. Fast!

Continue shooting!

Are you OK, comrade?

I'm OK.

Stop!

Stop!

It's lost, they entered the town.

Allah Akbar! Allah Akbar!

Allah Akbar! Allah Akbar!

Allah Akbar!

Allah Akbar!

Brothers,

we won!

Show them who we are!

Allahu akbar! Allahu akbar! Allahu akbar!

Allahu akbar! Allahu akbar! Allahu akbar!

Praise Allah!

Now I understand why they sent the ambulance.

The truck must go to Qamishli right now.

Those who can't fight must be on it.

The Frenchman too.

He'll be interrogated at the Qamishli headquarters.

They'll decide what to do with him.

We'll stay here

and hold them here

as long as we can.

I'll organize our forces in 3.

No, your orders have changed.

Your mission is to blow up the Manbij Bridge.

Comrade Adar,

if I go there, I won't be back in time.

Pick three sisters.

The strong ones. Take the volunteers too.

We can't let them be slaughtered here.

No.

Send someone else.

I'm not leaving.

I'm staying with you and my sisters. Till the end.

You have orders, Sarya.

I am sorry.

I should've stopped the ambulance. But don't punish me.

Not like this. Let me stay.

It's not a punishment, Sarya.

This sector is lost. We can't save it.

If ISIS flanks us from the east,

blowing the bridge is the only way to stop them.

Otherwise our forces will be destroyed.

They'll conquer all the places up to here.

Blowing the bridge is the only way to stop them.

I give you the opportunity

to prevent a disaster.

I want you to do this.

So, stop acting like a little girl and do your mission.

OK?

Yes, comrade Adar.

Sister, be strong and succeed.

Come on. Come on.

I spoke with Adar, and she agreed. I stay with the battalion.

YPJ marches. Earth and heavens tremble!

Our blood and our souls are with you, oh Martyrs!

Martyrs don't die!

Martyrs don't die!

Martyrs don't die!

That was a nice reaction before.

You probably saved that girl's leg. Maybe even her life.

So, you mind telling me what you're doing here?

I'm looking for my sister.

Anna Habert. Shamaran.

Never heard of her.

You?

I talked to a guy who knows her.

-Luke Murphy. -Yeah, I know Luke.

Got banged up a few weeks ago near Deir al-Zor.

Yes. He's in a hospital in Istanbul.

Now do you believe me?

Well, the only problem is Deir al-Zor is 200 miles away.

So even if I do believe you, buddy,

you're in the wrong fucking place.

Got a signal.

Hey, Jenny.

Wanted to let you know that everything is under control.

You're not answering. Really wanted to talk to you.

I hope to have phone reception in a few days to hear your cute voice.

Do me a favor.

Call Dad and tell him I'm fine, will you?

I'm hanging up now. Bye.

Hey!

Did you say your sister's name was Anna Habert?

- Yeah. - What the fuck?

It says she died in a terror attack two years ago.

Lemme see.

I saw her here.

-You're joking. -Nope.

This is her for sure.

She's a real killin' machine.

- You said she calls herself Shamaran? - Ryan, read the article!

- She died two years ago. - I know what I'm saying.

I saw her here, five months ago.

At the academy. She hangs around with Commander Gilia.

She's brunette now.

Doesn't smile like this. No, sir.

- Do you know where I can find her? - Actually,

we're meeting up with her battalion once we blow up the bridge.

Ryan. Enough.

Yes, ma'am.

I have to come with you, I need to see her.

Hey, can you hear me? I need to come with you.

I believe you, OK?

I don't know if Shamaran's your sister but she's the reason you came.

Only you can't come with us.

At the junction, you're staying on the truck to Qamishli.

Here.

You can call your family to tell them you're OK.

Ryan.

Hello?

-Hello? -It's me, Antoine.

Antoine!

What's going on? What are you doing?

I'm OK.

-Where are you? -Please don't worry.

Of course I'm worried.

Your name was on a flight list to Turkey.

I'm in Syria.

What?

I was right. Someone recognized Anna.

She's here.

Antoine, I beg you. Get out of there now.

I'm on my way to find her.

You need to get on the first flight home.

Loraine, hello?

Antoine?

I can't hear you.

Can you hear me?

My mum wants to write a book on Anna.

She told me this afternoon.

- I like her books. - Yeah?

Maybe it's her way of coping.

Maybe she finds it helpful.

Yeah, but I don't want our story to be made public.

It's already been made public though. Newspapers, TV...

I haven't been watching.

Tell me, what are they saying?

They say she hadn't been in contact with her family for a few years.

That she severed all ties.

Did she?

We haven't spoken for four years.

I've tried to get in touch.

I called, emailed...

She never answered.

What happened?

Don't you think it's weird? That this all is too easy?

We're all devastated, you most of all.

What does it mean?

That I'm crazy?

It doesn't mean anything. But your theory...

I don't have a theory!

You don't agree something isn't quite right here?

The letter she left.

A laptop with no password.

She was always careful.

Even I never knew it.

Suddenly everyone can access it?

And that watch.

She never used to wear it!

That was four years ago.

People change.

We can't know.

"Antoine, it's difficult for me to write this.

I hoped time and distance would help.

Four years passed and you still won't let it go.

We both made our choices. Everything that happened between us...

It can't be fixed.

Not only because of you,

but because of me too.

I'm not asking for my sake, but for yours...

Let me go forever this time. Move on.

I have.

Forgive yourself."

Four years of silence and then a letter?

That she never sent!

-She wanted me to find it. -Stop, please.

-What do you want us to do? -I don't know.

What if she's not dead? What if...

Antoine...

We've read every item in the file.

All the medical reports.

Now all we can do is accept it.

She can't be dead.

-It's my fault. She left because of me. -No.

-I killed her. -No.

You know I killed her, Mum.

What the hell are you doing?

I absolutely have to find Shamaran.

-Sure. -Listen to me.

You've got a bridge to blow up?

I can help you.

I'm a construction engineer.

I haven't got time. Get back in the truck.

What's the bridge made of?

They'll have used high-strength concrete. At least C50.

You'll know how to find its weak spots?

You get back in the truck, or I'll tie you up and throw you in.

I saw your bags.

You've got what, 80 kg of explosives?

Think that'll be enough?

Get it wrong and that bridge won't even tremble.

OK, OK, OK.

Get in the fucking truck!

What kind of bridge is it?

Suspended? Are there wires? Girders?

You don't know, do you?

It's got pillars.

OK, good.

Now, would you rather get me in that truck or blow up the bridge?

Shoot me if you want.

But I'm not going home

until I have found Shamaran, understand me?

So let me come with you.

I can help you.

Peace be upon you.

Peace be upon you and may God bless you.

It's a great honor.

You did a great job today.

Come to the feast!

If you hadn't risked your life for the Caliphate,

none of us would be here now.

"Think not of those who are killed in the way of Allah as dead.

They're alive with their Lord, and have provision."

Guys, let us celebrate!
