Original subtitles

I have been told that he has a problem in the north of the country.

Idris Mullah, sworn enemy of the Taliban.

Stop!

This is Afghanistan. That's how this country is.

I just want to know if my husband is okay!

Let's act.

What are you doing?

They have stayed there.

The other Spanish policeman, dead.

It is best that you surrender.

Whom? Do I surrender to the Taliban?

Look, you tell them you're a journalist.

Let's see, they're going to interrogate you. They may hold you for a couple of days.

It's going to be ugly, but then they're going to

release you and take you to Kabul with your people.

Already. Yes and you?

I'll manage to go to Kabul.

Let's go together, Massoud.

Miriam, don't complicate it.

If they find you with me, everything will get worse.

Because? Because? What is going to happen? What's going to happen to you?

If they find out I'm a cop, they hang me, okay?

Gotta get a phone... anywhere.

They've taken everything.

Where are you going?

That's it.

That's it.

We have one-hour "slots" to get all of our people

onto the planes. You have to have people ready.

How are you, Carla?

We've found you a place on the five o'clock plane.

You are going to Madrid with Olmedo. You will arrive tomorrow afternoon.

It's the fastest we've found.

I take care of everything, Carla.

Your partner is coming back. -I'm not going anywhere.

Let's see, everyone will understand that now you

have to be there for yourself and your daughter.

No one will blame you. You have to assume it.

It is already decided. I'm not going anywhere without Míriam.

You are always in time to change your mind.

Your daughter is going to find out on the news.

No. -You have to prepare it.

I take care of my daughter.

I'll see how I do it.

"Mother!".

lua! -"Hi Mom".

Hello. -"Know?".

"We went to the beach and windsurfed."

Excellent. Are you having a good time?

"Yes. Is that with Sabrina, a girl from Valladolid,

we played who falls first? And we laughed a lot."

"She's even worse than me. She's super klutzy."

"Mom, you're leaving."

Well, the important thing is that you learn and have a great time.

"Yes, very well".

Well, I love you very much. -"And I love you too, mom."

"I love you a lot". -Hey, Lúa, pass me your instructor,

Please, I have to talk to her. OK?

"Okay, mom, I love you a lot." -Have a good time.

"Roberta, my mother wants to talk to you."

"Hi, I'm Roberta, Lúa's instructor."

Uh... hello. How are you?

Look, she wanted to talk to you, but please

make sure my daughter doesn't listen.

But... But... What's going on here? Out! Out! Out!

Shit.

Madrid.

She plays like a motherfucker.

Go Madrid!

Go Madrid!

Shit.

Eh eh!

And now that?

Let's wait until things calm down, okay?

You are a Spanish journalist, okay?

I am with you because I have been assigned as your escort.

We don't know each other at all.

We don't know each other at all.

Who was? -The old woman.

What is this? -I don't know.

Clothes.

Meal. -What do you have?

Meal.

You're nothungry?

Eat something, Miriam.

miriam...

We have to get out of here as soon as possible, okay?

OK. -Abed's house is nearby.

He has a phone. -Do you trust him?

He is more afraid of the Taliban than we are. Believe me.

Ok, done.

Holy crap, do I have to wear this, man?

Yes, put it on. I will help you.

How is he going? So... -This is moving forward.

And try to walk like one. Don't walk around like a westerner, okay?

Oh wait, wait. I can't breathe.

How is that? -Head down. Always behind me.

OK? If I stop, you stop.

Always behind me. -OK.

List? -No wait.

It's that I don't see anything. Come, go, go.

Go Go.

Come on.

He wants money to go to Pakistan. -Yes Yes Yes yes Yes.

Yeah? -Yeah. Trust.

Shit.

We will get it. OK? Relax, trust.

They're scared -I already know it,

but you can't do anything. Trust me.

You think? -Yeah. Trust me. OK?

It's a simple discussion. She now she's going to go out and bring it.

What do they say? -Look, she's already there, she brings it.

She brings it, brings it, brings it. -Brings it.

You have to call Madrid.

You have to call Madrid.

She says they're going to trace her phone.

And now that? We wait?

Trust. They will come. I have already spoken with Fazela.

Yeah? OK. Alright? Is Fazela alright? Alright? Yeah?

I'm shaking.

She is fine.

Spain! Spain!

Spain!

Spain! Spain!

Spain! Here here! Spain here!

Spain! Spain!

Spain! Spain!

Spain! Spain!

Please Spain! I know where your partner is!

Spaniards, please, Spain!

Spanish please!

I want to talk to your embassy! I know where Miriam is!

Your partner!

I know where Miriam is! Where is Miriam?

I know where your partner is!

Let me through, please!

Do you know Miriam? -Yes, yes, yes, I know!

Do you know where she is? -She is she with my husband!

Do you know where she is? -With my husband, please!

Please! -Come with me!

Come with me!

Block, let no one pass!

Let no one pass!

- Did he tell you anything else? -No, he told me more.

Only that they were looking for him and you hurry up.

But were you able to talk to Míriam? Did you hear her voice?

You only care about her. TRUE?

We care about both.

We care about your husband and we care about our partner.

I spoke only with Massoud.

He told me that he was with her and skipped the line.

He didn't call me back.

Was the cell phone she called from registered on your cell phone?

I'm not lying. -We don't doubt it.

but we need to be absolutely sure of the location.

He is at Abed's house, in Chahyab, near the big well.

Please rescue him.

OK. Let's get them out of there. will you accompany me?

Now we have the information that was missing, Manuel.

We know that she is alive. We know where she is. We know they're looking for it.

We must send an extraction operation now.

- No Yes.

No. She's just the woman's version.

We cannot trace the call nor do we have objective evidence.

"that Míriam is alive".

"And that request for a thousand dollars doesn't surprise anyone?"

"Why lie?".

Because she knows perfectly well that if we don't go

after Míriam, we won't go after her husband either.

24 hours ago, Míriam and Massoud were together.

You have to assume they're still together.

What worries me is how to justify

a direct mission on Afghan soil.

Perhaps the time has come to play the cards uncovered

with the Taliban and ask for their collaboration.

"They have no reason to do anything to a journalist."

You are forgetting about Massoud. If they find it, they kill it.

And Míriam's situation is compromised as well.

"You have to do it now, Manuel."

We cannot authorize a Spanish military action

"behind the backs of the Taliban and in their own country."

Let's see, maybe there is an alternative way.

I am with Carla, that a rescue operation must be sent,

but things must also be done right with the Taliban.

What does she propose?

Sorry.

They are going to love that a woman is going.

I think we are doing them a favor.

So they can boast that hatred of women is our fallacy.

Delegate.

No, as I already told you, it is not an official visit.

I am here only to accompany the

person in charge of the NGO Safe Life.

Come in, come in, please.

It's okay, man. Calm down, come in.

Sit down please. It's okay, ambassador.

Come in.

Sit calm.

Get comfortable. It's a joke among the boys.

Sit down, ambassador, don't be afraid.

There, there, there, please. You can't sit there.

Sit down please.

A joke for the boys to be happy,

to celebrate the reconquest.

He says they got really scared by some shots.

A little, yes, a little.

Now everything is safe. Nothing will happen.

Now the government is hand in hand

with us, nothing is going to happen.

Well, Mrs. Aurelia Rodríguez is one of the delegates of

the NGO Safe Life, which operates in different countries.

and also in Afghanistan.

A commendable job...

She says that we have received

information about the activity of that NGO.

Well, the thing is, before flights to

the interior of the country were closed,

The NGO received medical supplies that have

remained here, at the military airport.

And it is urgent that he arrive at the NGO field hospital in Tajikistan.

She says: "You can deliver the material

to us and we will take care of moving it

to the refugee camp on the other side of the border".

I appreciate it, but it is perishable material.

And two Spanish army vehicles can take

you directly to your destination quickly.

What we ask of you is an authorization to cross the country.

As a sign of gratitude, the NGO would

leave part of the medical material here

for your hospitals.

He says that the West and Spain...

They paint us as demons.

They look at us like barbarians, wild animals.

They don't want to negotiate with us because they say we are terrorists.

Now you want your army in our country...

pass "freely"?

He says, "We're not as bad as you make us out to be."

"We may be ugly, but not bad." He jokes...

He says: "If it's just medicine materials, he doesn't

see any inconvenience to be able to move it there."

In other words, he himself says that he is going to talk to

the Ministry of Defense to authorize you to cross the border.

He says that he hopes that these

meetings will be repeated more times,

that we have other similar meetings.

Of course of course.

face it! facela...

I've got real food.

We are not going to get rid of American hamburgers for one night.

When can I return to my daughter?

At night.

It's the safest.

Our GEO men will get you out of the airport.

He's coming back, Fazela.

We are going to rescue your husband.

Do you hear me?

Now, the savior West?

And now he's leaving a mess behind?

And we Afghans will stay here to put up with what happens.

I can get all three of you to Spain.

Trust me.

My parents, my sisters, my friends are here.

I will stay with them.

It's very complicated. I'm so sorry about what's happening.

I'm sorry what's happening to your family.

I feel what is going to happen in this country.

It's complicated.

Nor will it change much in this country.

From always a woman will be born,

a criminal will be born.

They look at you and you are the one who provokes.

You answer, you are a scoundrel.

They rape you and you asked for it.

Massoud should not have gone.

He would have to be in his house.

The woman with your husband could also have been spared.

And she has stayed by her own choice.

She has a six-month-old girl in Madrid.

We all have family.

Take, please. -I don't want to. Thank you.

Please...

I told him I don't want to.

Very good.

Shh...

He says that they took him because of us.

He says we're going to get us all killed.

He wants us to leave.

what does he say? -What are we going to achieve?

let them kill us He wants us to leave.
