Sarya! Come and see your room.

Do you think this is what Mom would've wanted?

She dies, you book flights and we leave everything behind?

No.

Remember what she used to say to me?

"Your future is here. I want you to have a normal life."

She said it at the hospital, too. You promised, Dad.

I thought we'd be able to.

What's the problem? The money?

No. It's not the money, it's...

No. It's not the money, it's...

Our family is over there.

It's our home.

I can't make it here alone without your mother.

But what will I do over there, Dad?

My life is here, not anywhere else.

Please, Sarya.

I can't stay here.

Forgive me. Forgive me.

I'm sorry.

Don't cry, Dad.

So?

Did you talk to that girl again?

Yeah. She's Swiss.

Her real name's Karine.

Was it her in the video?

So...

you haven't found your sister.

It's not the answer you were hoping for. It's not the answer you were hoping for.

But it is an answer.

Now you can go home and move on. Now you can go home and move on.

I'll take you to Qamishli.

You'll go back to Turkey and all this will be behind you.

- Aren't you going south with Gilia?

Gilia ordered me to take you to Qamishli so you can go home.

I can go with someone else.

No one else is going there, Antoine.

We're almost surrounded.

All the villages are falling to ISIS.

It won't be an easy journey.

There must be another way.

You'd rather be with Gilia.

It doesn't matter what you or I want.

She asked me to take you, so I will.

We leave in the morning.

Right, let me help you with that gun.

- I want to tighten the strap. - OK.

Pass me the tape.

- Here. - Thanks.

There.

- Here. - Thanks.

A proper soldier.

Film our hero brother...

This is brilliant.

Inflicting Allah's punishment...

Man, you gotta check this out.

- Look at that! - Fuck off, man.

How about you take it easy with the Captagon, yeah?

You know what they call it here?

- Abu Hilalain. - All right.

Well, take it easy on the Abu Hilalain.

Go see your missus.

- It's late. - No, she'll wait for me.

No matter what, she'll wait.

Al-Salam Aleikum, brothers.

Peace be upon you.

Did you get some rest today?

Are you hearing the reports?

Villages are kneeling

before we even reach them.

An entire 60-kilometer strip surrendered.

An entire 60-kilometer strip surrendered.

Men, your battle is beginning to roll.

Praise God.

Tomorrow you'll go to Ar-Raqqah.

Really?

Why?

You'll see why tomorrow.

Our brothers in London

have found your boy.

They'll try to get to him.

Uh...

Thank you, Sheikh.

In God's hands.

Let's go.

You see, Alex was transferred to some foster family, yeah?

So, someone in the community submitted a request.

Once it's approved,

man, they're gonna bring him here.

Wait a second. You were part of this?

Yeah. Spoke to the Sheikh about it, but I, like,

I wanted it to be a surprise.

Are you happy, Paul?

Hey, guys. You ready for your trip?

Man, can you believe this guy?

Just started to get to know him,

and he's already leaving.

We're gonna miss you, Antoine.

Can still join me, you know.

Commander Gilia is gathering all the forces in the area.

We're gonna take back our villages...

Alice, we have to go.

Hey! You're riding with the chickens.

You'll attract too much attention up front. You'll attract too much attention up front.

Down you go.

We just passed Abu Soura, all is clear.

We just passed Abu Soura, all is clear.

All units from Gilia,

we have reports of an enemy presence in the area.

Hold your position and wait for our arrival.

Keep radio silence, unless necessary.

This is 4 at Abu Soura junction, we've engaged the enemy. Over.

4 for Gilia, report your status.

This is 4, heavy fire at the junction. This is 4, heavy fire at the junction.

We need assistance!

MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT OF AR-RAQQAH

- Peace be upon you. - And upon you.

Are you Abu Mus'ab Al-Masri?

Yes.

Your meeting with Abu Reda the Libyan will be at noon.

But you have to see brother Abu Usama before the meeting.

Hmm?

I will wait for you.

Abu Osama.

This is brother Abu Musab Al-Masri.

- Peace be upon you. - And peace be upon you too.

It is an honor to meet you.

I'm Abu Osama, director of media.

You're American?

Allah have mercy, of course not. I...

I am faithful soldier of the Caliphate.

This footage is priceless.

Allahu akbar!

It's gonna be the most powerful video we've got out of the last offensive.

Allahu akbar!

Glory be to Allah.

I like your voice.

It's reserved, deep.

Thank you.

It's a good thing your face is covered.

I want to record you...

- Uh... - saying a few words in English,

and add it to the video.

It'll look like you said it on the spot right after the offensive.

I... I don't think that's a good idea.

Well, it'll have a powerful impact, brother,

both on the infidels' TV networks

and on the Muslim men who hear you say it.

It may help inspiring them to come over here and join us.

Yeah, well, if you use my voice, it'll expose me, won't it?

So? You're here, protected with us.

What if I wanna go back to Europe,

to strike the Kuffar from within their own cities.

Have you thought about that?

Or do you only care about how many fucking likes your videos get, huh?

There's no reason to be disrespectful, Abu Musab.

There are many ways to support the jihad.

Yeah, I'm sorry, brother. Sorry.

I get very passionate about the cause, you know?

- Yeah. - Yeah.

Listen, I know how important these videos are, but...

I'd really appreciate if you could find someone else's voice.

Is that cool?

OK. Yeah.

Thank you.

You can go in, the Sheikh is ready to see you.

Peace be upon you.

Peace and God's blessings upon you.

Brother Abu Mus'ab,

God save and protect you. Come sit, come. God save and protect you. Come sit, come.

This is Abu Reda the Libyan.

A real man, a brave fighter.

General of the immigrants' army

and general of our northern units.

This week he was appointed head of the military council

in our region.

He was elected a member of the Islamic State's high council,

our minister, the minister of war, Abu Reda.

Please.

Thank you.

Are you, Abu Musab Al-Masri? Nasser Yassin?

Yes.

You fought in the British Army lines.

That was a dark period in my past, brother Abu-Reda.

Satan tricked me

and I almost lost my soul.

Until my friends brought me back to the righteous path.

Praise God.

Listen, Nasser,

in all of history, no military power achieved victories

like the ones the Islamic State has achieved.

No one can stop us.

But in return, we pay a heavy price.

We lose scores of men every week.

We need quality military leaders.

I decided to appoint you member of the military council in Ar-Raqqah.

Thank you, Abu Reda.

That is a great honor.

But I'd prefer to stay in the field,

with my brothers.

Brother Abu Mus'ab,

the soldiers of God don't choose their missions.

Say thank you.

Thank you.

We're running low on ammo!

We can't reach you.

You'll have to hold on, with whatever you have.

Be brave.

Antoine, there's a roadblock.

We'll go off road.

Turn here.

It'll take longer, but we'll stay off the main roads.

It'll take longer,

but we'll stay off the main roads.

We'll find somewhere to sleep.

OK.

There it is. Open. See? It's easy.

Well?

They made me a member of their military council.

Fuck off. I don't believe it.

You, uh...

you gonna stay with us?

No.

They're transferring me to Ar-Raqqah.

Brilliant.

Uh, what for?

Want me to plan the purging of villages in the Deir ez-Zor area

to guarantee control over the oil fields, so...

Man.

Sick, but you have to take us with you, man.

Honestly, 'cause I wanna be there

when we snuff village after village.

Ain't that right, boy, yeah?

Just go easy on the Captagon.

You know you gotta pack these and take these downstairs, yeah?

And they're heavy as well.

These pins.

Never do them properly.

These fucking pin holes...

Oi. Oi.

Oi, you gotta shake this off, man.

Whatever this is, you've gotta shake it off right now.

Last week,

you wanted to leave.

And now,

you want Alex to come here?

What's that about?

Mate, I fucked up his life.

I need a chance to fix that, and right now,

him being here is the least worst option for him.

Come on, you know he's gonna have all the love in the world from me here.

- From you, from Iyad. - Mmm.

Most importantly, he's gonna have a fucking family here.

And he's not gonna grow up feeling like some kind of... loser,

with doors slamming in his face like we did.

OK, he's gonna be part of something important here, man.

Yeah, yeah, I see that, but ask yourself this question, yeah?

What do you think are the chances of him surviving...

I don't know.

But I will do my best to look after him.

And failing that, I will go to heaven with him.

Yeah?

Yeah.

We'll stay here tonight.

We'll stay here tonight.

OK.

Good night.

Good night.

God is great!

God is great!

Raise the crusader whore's head up high!

Let everyone see what happens to infidels who disobey God!

- God is great! - God is great!

Hey. Wake up.

- Oh, fuck. What's going... - It's just me.

It's just me.

What the fuck?

What's happening?

Alex deserves to be with you,

his dad.

But he doesn't deserve to be here,

and you know that.

I'm gonna get us out of here.

Hey, what the fuck are you talking about?

You know there's no way out of here, right?

- I've thought about all of this... - No, there is a way.

Will you come?

- Yeah. - Yes, bro.

Good man.

But listen,

don't say nothing to Iyad just yet. All right?

Yeah.

Gotta get a few things sorted out first.

- Then we'll go talk to him. - He...

Iyad's not gonna come. You've seen how he is.

He's in way too deep.

No.

I ain't leaving him behind.

It's bad news, right?

They can't mount a counter-attack.

There are too many of them.

And Eva and the others?

Heard anything?

No.

I don't have names, but we have casualties.

Many.

I think this time it really is the end. I think this time it really is the end.

- Don't say that. - It is.

I can feel it.

Remember what you said? It doesn't matter...

I don't care if I die,

just as long as everyone else keeps going on, but this...

This is a real defeat.

Hello.

Wow, 15 years, I can't believe it.

- How are you? - Hello.

How are you?

Go greet her.

May God have mercy on her.

We've missed you so much.

We were very sad for your mother.

May her place be in paradise.

Welcome, welcome.

Come here, my girl.

Come here.

Oh, this is his daughter.

Come.

You're beautiful.

Bravo!

Hello.

Hello.

Good morning, my friends.

Good morning.

What's the news from the other village? What's the news from the other village?

We lived near Simplon Metro station.

My mother worked at the Kurdish Institute, My mother worked at the Kurdish Institute,

on the corner of Lafayette and Poissonnière.

Are you serious?

That's five-minutes from where I grew up. That's five-minutes from where I grew up.

My mother wanted me to take ballet lessons.

She had this very clichéd idea about living in France.

When I told her I preferred modern jazz, When I told her I preferred modern jazz,

I swear, she almost had a heart attack. I swear, she almost had a heart attack.

Will you tell me why you left France?

Because this is our home.

You don't miss Paris?

I do.

Every day.

Was that...

your first time?

You don't want me to go.

You're trying to keep me here.

It's the opposite.

If you'd stayed, this wouldn't have happened.

Since you're leaving, it's like it never did.

It was real for me.

It did happen.

You're right.

What happened tonight was real.

But it was just tonight.

And now it's behind us, OK?

OK, Antoine?

Shouldn't be meeting like this, Nasser.

- It's too dangerous for you. - Yeah, well, it's all falling apart.

I had to kill some woman,

and then, they made me cut off her head...

- Oh... - 'cause she's European.

Oh...

Look, we have, um, we have psychologists...

Fucking psychologist. What the fuck you talking about, man?

They're moving me to Ar-Raqqah.

Want me to work with some Libyan psychopath.

- Abu Rida al-Libi? - Yeah.

Oh, fuck.

That's... That is fucking brilliant.

Can't believe it.

He's head of the military council in Ar-Raqqah. I mean,

I knew you were a fucking star.

I had no idea that they'd pay attention to you quite so quickly.

Do you even understand what this means? Yeah?

Now, all the massacres, all the mass executions,

they're gonna be on me now.

Yeah. Yeah, of course. Of course, I understand.

But y-you have to understand something, too, eh?

This Libyan, he will know about

all of their operations. Not just here, in Syria,

but all around the world.

If they're planning another 9/11, another 7/7,

now, he will be involved.

This is exactly the kind of information we need.

- No, fuck that. I'm out. - What?

Yeah. I'm taking Paul and Iyad,

and we're going to Sulaymaniyah,

and then we're gonna fly home from there. Fuck this.

Hey, look... No. Hey. Come on, seriously.

- Let's talk about this... - Get the fuck off me, man.

- Gimme the fucking keys. - No. I'm not...

- Gimme the fucking keys! - Hey!

- Whoa, whoa! Stand down! Stand down! - Your fucking hands!

No! Lower your weapon!

- Your fucking hands! - Stand down!

- Show me your fucking hands! - Just put your hands...

Put your hands on the dash.

OK?

Yeah? On the dash.

Now, will you fuck off and let us talk?

Look.

If you go back to London now,

it is more than likely

that you will be detained at Immigration.

I'll tell them I work for you.

If they got any questions, they can direct them to the MI6.

I'm not with...

MI6, Nasser.

Brilliant. Can I go now?

I-I never said I was.

You brain just...

filled in the blanks in the way it wanted to...

fill in the blanks.

But I never claimed to be with MI6.

Don't fuck with me, Stanley.

Who are you?

Who the fuck are you?

Answer me.

I'm Mossad.

I work for Israel.

- Bullshit. You're British. - I was...

I was born in London, obviously, but...

but I'm Israeli, and I do work for the Mossad.

I'm sorry.

I expect you're feeling...

betrayed right now.

And the very worst thing you can do

at this moment is go back home.

I'm sure this is gonna sound fucking crazy, but...

you are gonna have to trust me again.

Like you always did.

Antoine, stay quiet. There's a patrol.

Stop, stop!

Papers.

Here you go.

May Allah protect the mujahidin.

Where are you from?

Qarajah.

- Muslim? - Of course, Muslim.

Sunni or Allawi?

Of course, Sunni!

Surat Al-Masad.

Surat Al-Masad!

"In the name of God, most Merciful.

"May the hands of Abu Lahab be ruined, and ruined is he.

"His wealth will not avail him or that which he gained.

"He will burn in a flaming fire.

"And his wife, the carrier of firewood, "And his wife, the carrier of firewood,

"around her neck is a rope of fiber."

He has chickens. And some boxes.

What's in the boxes?

Clothes. I sell them at Umm Dibs market. Clothes. I sell them at Umm Dibs market.

Abu Atta, search the boxes.

Who is she?

My daughter.

Tell her to remove her Niqab.

It's forbidden, Sheikh!

I want to see her face.

So, do me a favor, and kill her right now. So, do me a favor, and kill her right now.

If you see her without Niqab,

you will dishonor me and my entire family,

and I will have to kill her myself.

I will ask her something from the Quran.

From the Quran? She knows nothing about it.

Look at her. She's a little girl. She's ignorant.

She only knows how to clean the house and cook.

Child...

tell the Sheikh your name.

Talk!

Siham, Sheikh sir.

I will let you go.

But I'm taking the chickens.

Of course.

We are supporters.

Sheikh.

Abu Atta, bring the chickens and come. Abu Atta, bring the chickens and come.

Stop! Don't move, bitch!

Drop the gun!

Drop the gun on the ground!

Raise your hands.

Raise your hands, bitch.

Kneel down!

Kneel down!

Take off the Niqab!

Take off the Niqab!

I'm gonna get a lot of money for you bitch.

Maybe I'll keep you to myself.

Make you pay every day for killing my friends.

Hmm?

I would have liked you to stay.
