Original subtitles

Hey, man, just stop. Come on.

Solomon, we have to go.

You go.

I'm out of here.

I want to find a grave.

Farakul!

Farakul!

Go!

I'm sorry, Lalo.

Sir, it's Fazal.

I got caught in an ambush on the road to Panjshir, so help

me.

A plane has crashed into the World Trade Center this morning. The United States

military has begun strikes against the Taliban regime in Afghanistan.

Afghan women fear for their rights since the Americans announced their intention

to leave the country.

The U .S. signed an agreement with the Taliban. The war is ending after two

decades of conflict in Afghanistan.

The embassies in Kabul are closing one by one. American personnel is being

evacuated in emergency.

This is not just about the Afghan people.

It's about us and our security.

The Taliban have surrounded the capital and are threatening to enter the city at

any moment.

People are panicking all around Kabul.

Prepare for landing.

Runway insecure.

Landing without lights.

Touchdown in two minutes.

Hi. Hi.

Look who's here. Hi.

Good to see you. Good to see you.

Hi. Hey.

Did you secure the route?

I spoke with Omar.

He's going to give us a car.

What? We're not going.

What do you mean?

Special forces gave us a no -go.

Apparently they have other priorities.

Who's in charge?

Beowulf.

You're joking.

The rules have changed.

Securing the runway has turned into pure mayhem. Even the Americans were

overwhelmed. A dozen have died.

If the Afghan army hadn't intervened, I don't know where we'd be right now. I'm

only asking for five men. That's it.

No, it's not going to happen.

There's not one single army, including the Bundeswehr, that will engage ground

forces in Kabul or anywhere else in this country.

So, either you fend for yourselves or you go back to Cologne. That's it. Do we

at least have access to U .S. area surveillance?

Yes, ma 'am. But in case you haven't noticed, the airspace is kind of busy. I

notice it's busy with our planes leaving empty.

Don't take that tone with me.

The only reason you're here is because I was ordered to let you in.

If you want to risk your life, be my guest, but don't expect me to put my

life on the line. General Hassan must be on top of the Taliban killers.

Okay. Do you know where he is? Yes.

Last we heard, he was close to Bamiyan. And your plan is to search the whole

region while he's crawling with the Taliban?

General Hassan was trained and equipped by the BND under my command.

He helped us for many years, and he saved many of our soldiers' lives,

mine.

It's our duty to pay our debt to him. I received a very firm note from Berlin.

No more military or diplomatic personnel will leave the airport.

But I'm not forbidding you to honor your debt. I'm just telling you that you

unfortunately won't have special forces support.

Right.

Umar?

Yeah, last night.

We need a car.

Can you come to the airport?

Sounds good.

One or two hours?

Okay. Keep us posted.

Thanks. So?

We need to do it without them. I told you.

I know.

It's going to be fine.

Okay?

Say something.

Fido, the condition of the animal patient is not good.

We will do our best not to make you guilty.

Asami, fix the wall here.

What's going on?

What are you doing?

We can't do this to our patients.

What are you doing?

The wall will fix it.

I want men to be separated from women.

What kind of people are you?

Everyone back off.

Back off.

Asami is a man.

I don't know.

Mom, no. It's just a slight delay, all right?

The question is that, yes, but we are under military protection and nothing

happen to us.

No, no, no, no. I'm not leaving the office, all right?

Listen, I have to go. I have to go. I will call you back.

We've done an initial triage, Mr. Consul.

I'm going to have a hard time getting used to that title.

It has a Roman ring to it, but you'll get used to it very soon.

We put people with visas near the tarmac so they can leave as soon as we get

clearance to land planes.

Now we just have to go over the rest of the cases.

Okay.

I'm ready. Bring them in.

I can do that. I have to follow security protocol.

No one else can enter these buildings.

I have this for you.

You should wear it.

Everything will be fine.

Yeah.

Sure.

Thank you, Colonel.

Please call me Marco.

Just for the next few days.

We'll resume protocol once we're back in Italy.

In that case, call me Giovanni.

Shall we go then, Giovanni?

Open the gate.

Ready?

Coming.

Was it hard to get here?

No, no.

Listen, I won't be able to come with you.

I got a visa from the Americans.

If all goes well, my family and I will be evacuated tomorrow.

Why the Americans?

The Germans closed their embassy overnight.

They didn't even contact us.

And then there was no way of reaching them.

Here.

You can keep my car.

I'm parked 50 meters away on the other side of the barrier.

Thank you.

Come.

Good luck.

You too.

Come.

We've beefed up security outside the building, so if the Taliban try to

us, we can slow them down.

But if they launch a large -scale assault, though, we're done.

And I'm not even talking about the scenario where ISIS decides to attack

in front of the embassy.

How many people are still inside?

81, including children.

Do you have any medical emergencies?

Not inside the embassy.

I have no idea what the people outside are. People outside your embassy are

legally under the authority of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.

Not that they claim military and political authority over the country.

It's more complicated than that.

People in front of the embassy with French passports.

are effectively protected by the French Republic.

Listen, I suggest we leave these authorities for later.

Our priority is to evacuate the embassy.

It's impossible to deploy ground forces in Kabul, so I don't see any other

option but by air.

And for that, we need U .S. Air Force support.

I spoke with General Ferguson, and we'll be sending a helicopter unit later

today. It will coordinate with you, provided the Taliban don't decide

We've established contact with Haqqani's emissaries to guarantee the evacuation.

And what about the Afghans waiting outside?

Well, for now, unfortunately, there's nothing we can do.

We can't let people in if we aren't sure we can evacuate them.

Guys, that's it for now.

Go.

Go. Go. Go. Go. Go.

Don't worry, uncle.

This country has the power to help you.

Let's go.

Uncle, let's go.

Uncle, let's go.

Uncle.

Maybe it's better to go to the airport.

I don't think there will be any changes here.

Come out!

Come out!

Okay, listen!

As soon as I had to come to land, we go straight... To the landing pad.

Okay. Line up.

Okay, come out. Come out.

Okay, line up.

Line up. Come in.

shots coming from? I'm not sure. Taliban in the streets? I don't know. What the

fuck are they doing? They're all going to get crushed.

People are starting to climb the wall.

Should I order the shoot?

What the hell do I do?

Open the gate.

Security desk to gate.

Open the damn gate.

What happened?

They took your iPad.

But you?

Yes. I tried to prove it.

What did you say you wanted to prove?

You have to go talk to them.

That girl has nothing.

I took the only thing she had from her.

You really want me to talk to Talib?

You still don't know them?

What?

That's it.

They just got to power.

They still have the fire of war in their eyes.

We have to think logically.

Everything will be solved in time.

What are you saying?

It won't work anymore.

Are you going to kill someone?

I don't think I'm going to kill anyone.

Don't worry about it, Masha.

We'll get this over with as soon as possible.

I remember the first time I saw you.

I remember

this

day.

I'm so scared.

I'm scared of staying here.

I'm scared of leaving.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

I'm angry with everyone.

On the Taliban, because they are so strong.

On the government, which is corrupt.

On the Americans, who didn't work, a fundamental change will come to this

country. On the Europeans, who supported us, despite the fact that the

whole world is angry.

But my anger will not change anything.

Amina. Amina.

Amina. Amina.

Amina.

Good morning, madam. Good morning, sir.

Mr.

Consul.

Yes. We have a big problem.

Sorry, I don't have time now.

I'm afraid it cannot wait, sir.

This is for you.

Please, sir.

Okay, just wait two minutes, okay?

And...

What's going on?

Huh?

We're looking for buckets, but we won't last long like this.

There will be no way to breathe with this heat.

And the poor women.

They can't go outside.

Not here, anyway.

Okay, move these people away. They can't stay here.

and organize a path to a barracks toilet just for women and children, all right?

We cannot do that, sir. We cannot let them into the building. It's a direct

order.

Is there a problem?

Yes, definitely a big problem.

If the road isn't blocked, we can reach Bamiyan in three hours.

I spoke with Mustafa.

He's waiting for us there.

Did he have any news?

None. But the battalion was deployed last week to defend the city.

It's Hasan.

Hasan? I tried to reach you like a hundred times.

I'm sorry.

We're in the mountains.

We managed to escape the Taliban and now we're trying to go to Kabul.

Do you hear me?

Hasan?

I'm losing signal. Can you pull over?

Sure. Please.

Hassan?

Can you hear me?

Where are you?

I think we're not far from Akakel.

There's not many of us.

We're exhausted.

We'll come and get you.

I am glad to see you.

Good to see you.

You came from Germany?

Yeah, just arrived.

Hans and Bastian were stationed in Kabul.

They are with me. The German high command abandoned everyone.

It's tragic.

In Bagram and Bariam, there are many people arrested by the Taliban.

I know.

We'll try to fight until the end.

There's an abandoned base in Zurubi.

They're only an hour's walk away.

I'll send you the coordinates of an old base in Zurubi. We meet you there and

take you to the airport.

Okay.

I'll wait for the coordinates.

Take care.

They have plenty here.

Sorry.

I'm the Italian consul in charge of evacuating Afghans from Kabul.

I have hundreds of people in the tarmac with no access to toilets.

So I was thinking... We fully understand, but our port -a -potty is a

property. Yeah, I know, I know, I know, but no one is using them, so... Well,

how do you know no one's using it?

I'm just asking for one.

Just one. Just until we can find a solution. You need to ask your

authority to make a request. Well, I am the diplomatic authority, and in

nature's name, I'm asking you to give me one of these fucking toys. I'm sorry,

but I didn't receive any such orders. Come back with a signed statement from

command, and you can do what you want.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Nobody could be Isis.

I know.

You zoom in on him.

Watch the bag.

Good. Fuck.

Oh, just the fucking sneakers.

Are they checking the cameras?

Fuck.

They're casing the place.

Where's Zid?

I don't know. Come with me.

Alex, come with us.

No, no, no.

Get down! Get down!

On your knees! I said get down!

Your papers!

I'm an artist.

I'm an artist. I exhibited in Marseille last year. I asked for your papers! No,

my friend here is a video artist, but he doesn't speak English.

Descrita, please.

Why did you take pictures of our security system?

We just wanted to document our journey here, but we can give you everything.

Here, we're not Taliban or ISIS, sir. We just want to get out of this country

before we go to jail.

Okay. What's going on?

Well, we're in a war zone, and they're taking holiday snaps.

Oh.

Okay.

Sorry for that.

Please.

You have water over there if you need it.

It's okay.

Everything's fine.

I'm sorry. I know you have a lot to do, but do you know maybe when we will be

able to leave here?

We'll do our best.

I'm worried about my wife. She's in danger.

She's a prosecutor in the Kabul criminal court. There is a Taliban she convicted

outside the embassy.

We're negotiating with the army to send us helicopters.

Why don't we take buses?

There are a lot of school transport companies and a lot of drivers.

We're looking for a solution so that your wife and all the Afghans are safe.

Trust us.

Okay. Okay.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Was it?

Was it? I managed to get into Kabul out of one.

But I don't know how much further I can go.

The Taliban are everywhere.

Okay, I'll send you the coordinates.

Okay, I'll just hope I can stay here.

What's going on?

I have a NATO requisition.

You have written orders?

From the Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs, yes. Show me.

Yeah.

Uh... It's in Italian.

As the request of NATO, the Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs, in

with such and such agreements and blah blah blah directive authorizes...

Italian consular and military representatives to take possession of

facilities for reasons of public hygiene.

Should I continue or it's fine?

Think you're smart, huh?

So now what you're going to do, arrest me?

Cause a diplomatic incident?

Just because there are bullshit rules doesn't mean you have to pay them.

Now do what you want. Call your friends.

Call your staff.

Call the White House if you like.

But I'm taking them.

Let's go. Get going.

Okay, I'll leave you there. I have to go.

All right.

A group of rogue Franciscan monks?

In any case, the Americans have closed their space over Kabul.

So, helicopter evacuations are out of the question.

And unfortunately, we don't have the green light for our special forces.

So, what do we do?

We have over a hundred people here who feel for their lives.

We have no idea what the next few hours will bring.

I'm sorry?

The Taliban can decide to take the embassy whenever they want.

We only have 11 men and not enough ammo to last more than an hour.

Well, there is a solution.

But it's risky.

Evacuate the embassy by bus?

What do you mean by bus?

I mean by bus.

Do you have a better idea?

Okay, but then we'd have to ask the Americans to charter us some armored

No, that would make us wrap targets, and I don't want a repeat of what happened

with the helicopters.

What are you suggesting?

There are a lot of transport companies in Kabul.

All we need to do is find one willing to charter us a dozen buses.

Then convince the Taliban to let us through and drive to the airport.

Can't do this without the president's approval.

Or without American video surveillance.

I'll contact L 'Elysée and we'll assess in 30.

Thank you all.

Are

you

sure about the buses?

I'm not sure of anything.

And will need safe passage from the Taliban outside.

How are you feeling?

Tired.

If you want anything, just ask us.

I need your help.

Okay, of course. Okay, thanks.

We have to find buses to evacuate the embassy.

I don't know what to do.

My brother is here. I have to go. You have to leave the country.

If you don't leave now, I'll force you to leave.

Amina, go and tell your mother -in -law.

I didn't think I'd go back to Europe again.

You can go anywhere you want.

I didn't think I'd leave so soon.

Have a good one.

Have a good one.

Have a good one.

That's him.

Good to

see

you again.

Martin.

So where are we going?

The airport.

Someplace safe.

Fuck. Get ready.

Get down! Get down! Drop your weapon!

Please, please.

I'm one of General Hassan's men. Please.

Hand over the phone.

It's Hassan's phone.

Please.

Okay. Get up.

What happened?

The Taliban.

They came when we got here.

I heard there were too many of them.

And the general?

They took him away.

Where did they take him? I don't know.

I don't know.

Okay, hands down.

Can't say, Avira. They could come back any minute.

Get in the car

I'll be right back

How are you feeling?

Tired.

Let me get some rest and a change.

We called the embassy for your papers.

Mm -hmm.

In the meantime, I need you to do something for me.

The Taliban has released all the prisoners from Polosharki, including

Bakash.

According to our intel, ISIS is planning large -scale attacks during the

evacuation.

We lost our source on the inside. We're completely in the dark.

I can't do that.

Anula never knew you worked for us.

We just need you to reach out, make contact, see what happens.

I can't. We are in the ship, Azal.

You're the only one who can help.

What about your parents?

Your sister?

Have they left Kabul yet?

The president has given his approval.

Now we just need the Taliban to agree.

Everything's ready.

Well?

Well, I'm looking. It's not going to be easy, but we'll find something.

I'm counting on you.

We've posted two snipers on the roof and one on the left wall.

He will have the best angle in case of trouble.

The team will be ready to go get you if anything goes wrong.

But I won't lie.

We're no match for them.

I don't think they'll take any risk.

Inshallah.

I love you.

I love you.

I love you.

I love you.

I love you.

I love you.

Thank you.

You see, it's as if we're living in a world where everything is the same.

It's as if we're living in a world where everything

is the same. We're living in a world where everything is the same.

I always wanted to make Afghanistan a free country.

I always wanted to make this country a home.

But I made a mistake.

What do you want?

I'm the embassy security officer.

I just want to talk to you, Commander.

I'm the commander.

What do you want?
