Scared?

Cautious.

If we wanted to take this embassy, it wouldn't be too hard, you know?

Maybe.

We're not like you.

Afghans aren't afraid of death.

After 20 years of war, what's losing a few men here and there?

The war is over.

You won.

So help us leave.

I'll arrange for buses to take us all to the airport, but I can't do it without

your help.

You have a great responsibility to show the international community that we can

work with you and even count on you.

The international community doesn't like us very much.

I don't want to stop you from leaving.

Leave.

But there are not only French people in this embassy.

So? So the French people can leave.

The Afghans cannot.

But these people are under French's protection.

And France won't abandon them.

They're on French territory as long as they're in the embassy.

Once they're on your buses, that's a different story.

You cannot guarantee their safety.

And what about them?

You plan to take everyone on the buses with you?

No, no, no. No one else comes in. The embassy is permanently closed.

Put that on the embassy gates. Then we can talk about your convoy.

What does it say?

That this building now belongs to the Islamic Emirates of Afghanistan.

There's another entrance to the embassy behind Zambach Street.

We'll speak there next time.

Open the gate.

Go back! Go back!

Sorry, go back!

So, how did it go?

We have to put this up everywhere.

What is this?

Permission to invade us?

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.

It is not just about the Afghan people.

It's about us and our security.

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

any moment. People are panicking all around Kabul.

How are you?

I'm fine.

Look, I brought something for you.

Everyone will see it when you order it.

It's for you, right?

Yes.

Do you want me to clean it up?

No.

I don't know what you're talking about.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Not them.

The one who attacked us. Are you sure?

Positive. Okay.

Turn around.

Follow them. Turn around!

I'm hearing you the entire way.

If they find out, they'll kill me.

Don't worry about it. It's undetectable.

Give me a break. He's in the sneakers.

Atta boy.

I know that sounded weird on the phone, okay?

He's not the one picking me up.

Well, that just means you're up to speed.

I knew it was in the mirror. Now he's got a bombing to organize.

And he would like nothing more than to have you there to support him, trust me.

Or else.

They found out I'm a traitor, and they'll flip my throat before I can even

something. No, they wouldn't have you show up if they thought you were going

betray them. They're not nearly as smart as you think.

Unfortunately, they're not nearly as dumb as I'd like them to be.

Want to know your cover story again?

Oh, I've got it memorized.

Something happens to me, come with me. I love them. You'll tell them yourself.

All right, let's go.

Our plane is due to land in less than one hour.

We won't have much time, so everyone needs to book calmly.

Okay.

Okay, everyone, stay calm. Don't panic.

Yes?

We'll take care of you. Sorry, say it again?

Yes, I understand.

We need everybody to stay calm. What?

Yes, sir.

What's going on? It's Rome.

The Americans are refusing to let the plane land.

And what am I supposed to do with all these people here?

Some have been here for three days already.

Nowhere out of food.

In two days, I will have even more people to evacuate.

Do you have any idea how fucking chaotic it is here?

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, just... How long can the plane circle over

Kabul?

Okay, okay, so tell them to wait a little longer, okay?

Thank you, I'll get back to you.

Thanks.

Where are you going?

I'm the Italian consul.

We have a plane. They're going to get both of them. They're refusing to let it

land. Landing conditions have been sent to your staff.

You have no business here. Listen, you cannot send that plane back.

We have way too many people to evacuate. More are coming.

It's a humanitarian issue.

I've got six planes up there waiting their turn. People swarmed the runway

yesterday.

People died, women and children. It took us at least two days to coordinate the

arrivals here. So if your plane missed its slot, that's your problem, not mine.

You tell them to contact the operations center in Qatar.

Sir, I'm sorry. What is the idea?

I missed my online orders, so now I have to wait?

We're talking about human beings crammed together in appalling conditions.

Our plane is up there now. Now do something and make it land now. I'm

pretend I didn't hear that. You're going to get out of my tower. You'll be

responsible for all the people... Get the fuck out of here!

Now!

You being here puts these planes in danger.

We really have no choice.

I'll tell the pilot to turn back. No, no, no, no.

You're going to tell him to wait a little longer.

So, where do we stand?

I managed to get five boxes.

But I had to promise a lot of money.

Meaning?

$30 ,000.

Excuse me?

They say it's extremely risky, and it is.

They take advantage, I don't know.

What's the alternative?

No, no, it's okay. We're in no position to negotiate anyway.

How long for the buses?

They say one hour.

Good.

Let's get ready.

Put up the flyers.

Assalamu alaikum. Wa alaikum salam.

Why didn't you come with me?

I was in Islamabad.

I heard about it.

Why did you come back?

We shouldn't worry about the infidels before they leave.

You were right about Islamabad.

I talked to Omran Bakh.

He said he'd never see you there.

Omran Bakh from Jalalabad?

She's a sister.

I told her I'd kill her that night.

And if you're in touch with her, I doubt it.

Bro, you might be young.

Our plane is about to land. Come on, let's go.

Come on, let's go. You're crazy.

You're putting these people and yourself into danger. You can't do that.

It's a shore force.

There's no risk. If we occupy the runway, they'll be forced to listen to

Sure, I trust you on this. Trust me.

Come on.

Let's go.

Just keep going.

Go, go, go. Back, back.

Stay back.

Who are all those people?

Husbands of some of the women inside.

For real?

Or is that just what they're saying?

Several women came to us saying their husbands are at the gate. And some of

had visas. Look.

We put up the flyers on the embassy, as you asked. You have unaccompanied women

inside. Their husbands are outside asking for them. It's unacceptable.

You must send the women out.

Families must be reunited.

It's an Islamic principle.

I'm sure you understand.

Well, my government has principles too.

No one will leave the embassy.

In that case, we have a problem.

Not with me.

The sooner you leave, the happier I'll be.

It's above me. I have orders.

Okay.

We want separate families.

Great.

Let the husbands in.

Problem solved.

Then you let in my buses and we are away for good.

My leaders will never accept that.

You don't have to tell them, do you?

All I know is that if we're not gone by tomorrow, French and American special

forces will come and get us.

With every artillery.

This could all end very badly and no one wants that, right?

Very well.

Let them in.

But do it quickly.

and I'll get clearance for your buses.

I understand.

I've done everything you asked me to do.

I've done a lot of things for you.

I love you.

I love you too.

I love you too.

I thought I was going to die in prison.

I prayed from the bottom of my heart that God would pull me out of there one

day.

And the Taliban came again.

At first I thought they were going to kill us all.

But they freed us all.

Thank you.

Why didn't you stay in Pakistan?

The time has finally come.

The time has come.

When I heard that you had returned, I knew.

I knew that this sign was from Allah.

The lion of Kabul has returned.

And I'm proud to be with you on this last day of your life.

Brother.

We have to get out of here.

Take your clothes and shoes.

Americans are going to go ballistic.

I know. What the fuck is happening?

You're going to take care of the craft.

Are you fucking crazy?

Get the hell out of here. I got a C -17 that's coming in. We're not moving until

our plane gets clear and straight.

Who the hell are you?

I am the Italian consul.

Martial law is in effect at this airport.

And I can arrest you, I can shoot you on the spot, and they'll just give me a

medal. Copy that.

All right, so you and all your ragtag friends can get the fuck out now. I

you to threaten a death match. You stand down, all right?

What are you going to do,

Rambo? Shoot us?

Okay, move.

Let's go.

Move. This is fucking serious.

Can you help us land this fucking plane?

Just get this plane on the ground, please.

Well, I have got a big problem on runway two. What's happening?

Some nut job has decided to storm the runway with a bunch of Afghans.

Who is it?

Some kind of wop.

That Italian. Get rid of him.

I will need some backup.

Why, is he armed?

No, he is not a threat. I repeat, negative. He is not a threat.

But they aren't listening and they won't move.

Tell him we'll land his plane.

Are you sure?

Get him the fuck off the runway.

Whatever you say.

Clear everyone off the fucking runway. Your plane is coming in. All right!

Get the fuck off my runway now! Everybody get the fuck off the runway

Everybody off the runway!

Come on, let's clear the runway. All right?

Let's clear the runway.

Let's go!

Please, this way. Keep going, keep going. Come on. Everybody, keep going!

Slow down.

They have a count just over there.

We need to get closer.

We should wait for nightfall.

papers ready okay so i'm done here okay show me the paper okay go okay go go go

i'm pretty shit okay let me see okay show me the paper don't push

Your paper. Not paper. No, I'm sorry. The embassy is closed. I'm sorry.

We're gonna need more buses.

Do that to me again and I'll make sure I conduct a court martial myself.

If your plane hasn't taken off within an hour, I'm enforcing a three -day no

-fly zone just for you. I'm just trying to save people. You won a Nobel Prize.

Without my man, this tarmac would be a goddamn battlefield.

Dozens died before we locked down the airport.

Now, you get those people and your fucking plane off this airport in one

Fucking donkey, Jose.

One hour.

Let's go.

One hour.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

We have a one -hour slot. How many are we transporting?

About 200, no counting children.

I can take 120.

No, no, you have to take everyone.

I have more Afghans coming in. I need to clear the time. I can go up to 150,

160. No, listen to me. Please, listen to me now. Please, please.

I need to get those people into this plane now.

Help me find a solution. What solution do you expect to find?

What are you trying to do?

If we get rid of these people, we can fit more people in, right?

And where do you plan on putting them?

Hmm?

Wait!

Like this.

What are you doing here?

You know you're not allowed to be here.

You're ready to leave.

Without telling me anything.

I have one thing for you.

What is it?

I don't want to leave you.

I'm sorry.

I'm going to my mother and father, who are in France.

I'm going to the airport.

This is my only chance.

If I don't use it, I'll have to be on my own.

It's time for us to leave this place without finishing your internship.

. . . . .

.

Why don't you come with me?

That's it.

This is my country.

I only have this country.

I have responsibility against the patients.

You're here for me.

You're here to take Noria with you.

She's like us. She has no future here.

She doesn't have a family.

That's it.

This is what you do.

This is a crime.

If the Taliban catch you, they'll kill you.

How do I know?

Do you tell them?

How can you think of me like that?

That girl has no identity.

How can France accept her?

Thank you.

Thank you.

That's all.

If you want, I'll take you with me.

Where? Europe.

France. It's very far from here.

I won't leave you alone.

Because the Taliban don't like girls like you and women like me.

Yes. Yes.

Hurry up.

Hurry up.

should be here right now.

I hope they didn't get stopped by the Taliban.

They'll be here. Don't worry.

And how do you know the Taliban won't start shooting at us the second we're

meters outside?

No one's going to start shooting.

It's not in anybody's interest.

They're here.

Okay, go on.

Hand, hand!

Out. Out!

Give me your papers.

Quickly now.

Would you like some help?

Quickly, please.

Watch your step. Watch your step.

Right there.

There we go. Thanks.

Keep going, guys. Squeeze it.

Squeeze it, please.

Okay, stop.

Stop.

Leggett.

Leggett. No, Leggett.

No, Leggett.

Let me in. With me?

Yeah, me too.

He hasn't moved for a while now.

And he's with them.

We have a predator in position. We can strike the cell in eight minutes.

Not with our asset inside.

We're going to take him on the ground.

Get ready.

Alpha team, go for alpha team.

That's a green light. I repeat, you have a green light. Take them alive.

Don't you fucking shoot my asset.

Talk to me.

All clear.

Athlete is not inside.

I'm taking off in one minute!

Okay.

Everybody back up! Back up!

Back up!

Hold on tight.

We haven't done enough.

And it's not over yet.

We have a huge influx of visa holders.

When? At Abbey Gate.

Six Taliban arrived earlier, but they left again.

Hassan was not with them.

We don't know.

Yeah, okay.

The officer refuses to send backup or American help.

I say we go in.

And risk our lives.

He's left behind.

It's the same Taliban.

Hassan is inside for sure.

Open your fucking eyes. He's probably dead by now. Boom, boom, two bullets.

don't fucking do that.

If he's not dead yet, it's only a matter of time.

The Taliban chief wants to talk to you out back.

Bring people around and fill the buses. I'll see what he wants.

Let's go.

Where are you going? Come here.

I want to go to France too, with my family.

Excuse me?

My children, they have no future in this country.

I'm in a good position to know.

I don't understand.

You're a Taliban.

You just want the war and you want to flee to the enemy?

I want what's best for my family.

Yeah, but France won't let you in.

I will never get authorization for that.

I can still stop your convoy from leaving.

If I make one call, I close the checkpoint.

Listen, even if I agree to this, what do you think will happen?

You and your wife will go to prison.

Your children will end up in foster care.

What do you think, that Francis is going to give asylum to a Taliban leader?

No.

Your intelligence service will interrogate me and I will cooperate.

I'd have to get the approval from my superiors and that would delay our

departure for several days.

We don't have to tell them.

Do you?

Isn't that what you told me?

Your wife and children, fine.

But not you. That's impossible.

I'm doing this for them.

I will never abandon them.

We're leaving in five.

Come on.

We have to get going.

Come on.

No, no, no.

It's not a good idea for you to get on a bus, ma 'am. Come with me.

We received intel.

Your picture is being circulated.

I don't want to be separated from my wife.

You'll come in the car with us.

You'll see her at the airport.

We'll put you in here.

It won't be a long ride, I promise.

Okay, go inside.

Are you fucking kidding me?

I'll explain. We have no choice. Where do you put him? On your lap? No, put his

family on the bus. They're coming with us.

We'll put him in the trunk.

There's already someone in there. Oh, too bad.

Oh, sorry, man.

Move, move.

Come on, let's go.

I'm not getting in there with a woman. Well, there's room for two in that

Get in there if you want to leave with us.

Sir.

Gilles, there's not enough room on the buses for everyone.

Please. Don't leave us here. No, no, no. I promise, okay?

We'll find a solution.

Once you arrive, a bus will come back for you, okay? I promise.

Get my number. Get my number. Close the door!

Okay. Okay.

Jim! You have to go now! Yeah, yeah. Okay. Text me, okay? Close the door!

Okay. Go inside, please. Yeah.

Okay. Go inside. Let's go now.

Okay. No, no, no, no. You go there. You wait for us in the embassy, okay? Okay.

Let's go. We have to go, Jim!

Close the door! Okay.

Wait for us.

Thank you.

Send her a lot of fun.

How many people are out there?

Hard to say. A lot.

Enjoy the decade tonight.

We're good.

Italians, you ready?

They're back at the back.

Get back.

They're coming in first.

Take cover.

The window's apart.

You're through.

We're surrounded.

Thank you.

Okay, we'll escort you. Okay.

Why did she come for me?
