The attack took place on American soil,

but it was an attack on the heart and soul of the civilized world.

And the world has come together to fight a new and different war.

The first, and we hope the only one,

of the 21st century.

They're here. Hello.

A war against all those who seek to export terror.

And a war against those governments that support or shelter them.

Our war on terror begins with Al-Qaeda,

but it does not end there.

It will not end until every terrorist group

of global reach has been found, stopped, and defeated.

At the same time, the oppressed people of Afghanistan

will know the generosity of America and

our allies.

As we strike military targets, we will also drop food, medicine,

and supplies to the starving and suffering men

and women and children of Afghanistan.

The United States of America is a friend to the Afghan people.

And we are the friends of almost a billion worldwide who practice

the Islamic faith.

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 has surrounded the capital and are threatening

to enter the city at any moment.

People are panicking all around Kabul.

Any news?

We're scanning for all suspicious activity around

the airport. Nothing so far.

What about Aynova?

He'll be in a Taliban prison soon.

Question him again. Maybe he hasn't said everything.

Pretty sure he thinks he's said enough.

Alright, we're going to pack it up and head back

to the airport. Only tech support stays behind.

You should go get some rest.

I have my whole life to rest. Isn't that what you usually say?

They'll be sleeping at the embassy in Doha tonight.

I don't have your departure time for Rome yet.

Harun will be at the embassy with us.

I hope so. He's not the only kid in this situation.

The Americans and the French have orphans too.

Wow. And that's supposed to comfort me.

To give you a perspective.

We came here to get rid of the Taliban.

So now we leave with a taste between

our legs and blades filtered offwards.

Juvani, we evacuated 5,000 people.

This people will be alive with futures.

Futures? What a waste.

Ready?

Bastian.

Do you want another shot of morphine?

No. No. No, no, no.

If I take another shot, then...

Stay with me. Stay with me.

I won't be able to walk.

We're here. At the intersection. Near the entrance to Abigate.

The Taliban are everywhere. We can't move.

What do you mean?

We need to go this way.

Okay, but right now we need a doctor for Bastian.

Yes, it's fucking urgent.

Okay, call me back.

What did he say?

I'm not sure. He said the place is crawling with ISIS.

Fuck this, we have to get out of here.

It's too risky.

Get out of here! Move it!

They're not looking for me. They're looking for Jihadists.

Sorry. Excuse me. Excuse me.

We're the French Embassy here.

Let us through. I have to go to the French Embassy.

Let us through.

Jesus.

We're almost there, but we're completely stuck.

Ask the Americans to let us through.

I'm on it. Stay where you are and watch out.

Okay. Let us through, please.

They're coming for us. Stay together and stay alert.

Yes, sir.

Joe, can I talk to you?

I have about 30 people out there who have to get in.

We're the high-ranking officer from the French Embassy.

You have to let them in.

Impossible. No one's going in or out of Abbey Gate.

We're on full alert.

Okay, so what do we do?

We just reopened the corridor at North

Gate. They have to try there.

It will take them too long.

That's not my problem.

I said I have a high -ranking embassy official with them.

Then have him come forward and we'll let him in.

But no more Afghans.

Abbey Gate.

Yes, sir.

The situation is under control.

I understand nobody will go down, sir.

Yeah, listen. Abbey Gate is a no-go,

but there's still a chance of North Gate.

Have the Afghans go down.

What are you talking about?

The Americans will let you in. No one else.

You want me to abandon them?

Do what I say now.

I'll call you back.

Jil. Jil. Fuck.

Okay, we can't get in here. We'll try North Gate.

Keep your eyes open for anyone who looks suspicious. Come on,

let's go.

Let's move. Keep going.

Come on.

Come on.

Hurry, hurry.

Don't worry. We'll find a way.

Dad, wait for us.

Don't go too fast.

Father!

Father!

- What's going on? - They've closed the gate.

They're afraid of a terrorist attack.

A French police officer is waiting for

There's a French policeman waiting for us at Abbey Gate.

Take them inside.

He'll let us in. Come on!

- Let's go! - Father!

- Father! - Amina!

- Father! - I see you!

Keep your eyes open.

Don't take your eyes off me.

Father!

Father!

- Father! - Amina!

They're not calling back.

Fuck.

Okay, let's go.

Bastian?

Bastian?

Come on. Let's go.

You make it, okay?

Okay.

We're almost there.

You'll be fine.

The colonel P.O.F. is expecting us.

Prepare your ID.

Father!

Father!

Father!

Father!

What do we got?

Somebody talk to me. Anything?

Come on, guys.

We need to fucking find them.

Focus!

This thing could blow at any minute.

Bastian?

Come on.

You okay?

Come on, come on. We're almost

at Abbey Gate.

Over there.

Where?

11 o'clock near the door. Green backpack. Light show.

Watch the door. A man in a light show. Green backpack.

Request permission to fire. Now!

We have a siding around the Abbey Gate. Reposition the drone.

Okay, we have a visual. Marines, go in now. Now, now, now!

Everybody, let's go! Come on, let's go! Now! Come on,

take him out!

Just into CNN in the last couple of moments here.

There's been an explosion at Hamid Karzai International Airport.

That, of course, the airport in Kabul,

where all these evacuations have been taking place

from our understanding at this point,

according to two U.S. officials, is that there are injuries

among Afghan people.

No information yet on U.S. casualties. Barbara Starr covering

the story.

The right-october 8th, Atlanta, Tassim Abushin.

The number dialled is not in service.

Please check the number.

Oh my God!

that there has been an explosion at the airport.

What they can't tell us yet is exactly where it took place.

We don't know if it took place inside the airport.

Are you okay? Do you need help?

Ma'am, I'm sure your lung is going to be okay.

No, no, no, no, no.

Sorry, the number dialled...

No, no, no, no, please, no, no, no, no.

No, no, no, no, no.

Sorry, the number dialled is not available.

Joe, he's dead.

Hello? Hello?

Stop yelling. Are you hurt?

No, I'm okay. What about the others?

I don't know. I don't know.

Don't worry, I'll manage.

Okay, go to the souvenir.

Okay.

We have to open a passage at North Gate. Yes.

Okay.

What are you doing?

I don't know how to eat.

Father!

The gate is open!

Father!

Amina! We have to go inside the airport!

- We have to go inside the airport! - Yes.

My father might have gone through.

Excuse me, are the French there

at the airport?

I don't know. Sorry.

Wait...

Amina! Amina!

We have an estimate.

Fifteen of our guys are down. At least 200 civilians killed.

We're going to evacuate.

Cent comms taking over.

Where's Fasal?

Where's Fasal?

He was just here.

You'll never have the guts to do it,

it's the nature of traitors.

Are other attacks planned?

The only plan of the Islamic State is to

The only plan is for the Islamic State to kill all the Taliban,

the crusaders and their allies.

I told you, another attack has been planned.

Ainullah,

I said, "Are other attacks planned?"

- Calm down, brother. - I was never your brother.

I told you everything about the US.

I told your American friends everything.

You know that our groups are separate.

You know as well as I do that our cells are isolated.

What's wrong with you, brother?

What's gotten into you, brother?

Don't do this.

Don't do it.

I didn't think you'd be afraid of death.

I thought you weren't afraid of dying.

I'm not afraid of death.

I'm not.

I'm just afraid that you'll kill me if you don't talk to me.

I'm afraid that you won't be able

to accept that you've killed me.

Killing you is like taking a pill.

Killing you would be doing you a favor...

But the Americans made a deal with the Taliban.

And you've been living in a prison for the rest of your life.

You're gonna rot in a cell for the rest of your life.

And we'll see which one of us ends up like a dog.

We'll get out of here, brother.

Brother? Come back.

Oh, wait.

That was fucking close.

You need to see a doctor.

You have to talk to the Americans.

I already did.

Gilles is coming with a small group to North Gate.

We need to get them in.

They won't. They won't let them in.

He's with them. They're not a threat.

No.

The Americans won't take any more risks.

They've lost too much.

It's over.

It's done.

It's not your fault.

I should have stopped him from going out.

Fuck!

No one can stop Gilles

from doing anything.

It's between him

and himself.

Yes. We're over at North Gate.

Gilles...

It's over.

There's no option.

Tell them to go home.

I'm sorry.

They won't let anyone else in.

What?

I'm sorry.

Sir.

Come on.

I'm begging you.

You can't just leave us here.

I'm sorry.

Open the door.

Open the door!

You should be ashamed

for not coming to help us.

Are you kidding me?

I told you your operation was a suicide mission.

We saved a man who may represent this country's future.

Oh, really?

Do you know this country?

Its future looks a lot like its past.

This airport in evacuation was supposed

to be under my command.

You overstepped your mission.

I'm reporting this to your superiors.

Will you also tell them about the thousand of Afghans you abandoned?

Shut up.

No, I won't shut up!

Tell me how many, how many?

I'm not even talking about the civilians.

How many worked for us?

At Bagram in Kabul, how many worked for you?

That's not the point.

That's exactly the point, because these people worked for us.

And now they're facing death.

And what did you do?

You left them to fend for themselves!

General Hassan saved our people.

And we saved his life.

And that's nothing, really.

It's nothing.

It's a drop of water in an ocean

full of shit!

Get out of here.

Get the fuck out of here.

Are you okay?

Yeah, it's just my ears. I'm fine.

Any news of Bakir?

I think he was at Abbey Gate when it blew.

I spoke to his wife on the phone.

She's leaving Doha for Paris, but has no news.

The Americans are compiling the victims' names.

We'll know soon.

We're packing up. Go get your stuff.

I don't have any stuff.

Sorry. Excuse me, sir.

The office is having a photo op with General Hassan.

Sure.

Can I bum one?

I thought you quit.

Well, I do.

I quit every day.

We get a reprimand and they're showing off

that the Bundeswehr saved General Hassan's life.

Such assholes.

Once we get to Berlin, I'm resigning.

Yeah, right.

No, I mean it. I'm resigning.

I always dreamed of making music.

Really?

Yeah.

You know, Monica wants me to join

one of those TV talent shows.

Yeah.

Of course.

I mean, the rare times I've heard you sing.

I pray they send me back to Afghanistan.

Fuck off.

Fuck off.

Any news on Bastian?

I spoke with Amanda on the phone.

He's in Tashkent.

He's fine. He's treated.

Good.

Thank you.

What are you doing here?

I passed out.

I've been walking for three days

without eating anything.

Can I?

Did you see a doctor?

Yes.

A soldier told us

he was coming to

send someone

with the French.

My parents are already there.

I take care of it.

Do you have a French visa?

We don't have anything.

I'll get you something to eat

and we contact the French.

What are your names?

I'm Amina Nazani

and this is Nuria.

You?

Vera.

Nuria, are you hungry?

Go to snack stand.

Alright.

Will you come with me?

No.

Where did you find this?

The Russian diplomats

handed out bottles.

They didn't have any space

left in the plane.

Thank you.

To this country we're living

and we'll probably never see again.

Do you already know your next posting?

Well, believe it or not,

I haven't thought about it yet.

But I'd prefer it to be

closer to London than to Vienna.

The air goes everywhere.

The probability of evacuating

a Rambus in London by helicopter

is highly unlikely.

How about you?

I have a pretty specific plan in mind.

Take my kids to school every morning,

go grocery shopping,

and then in the afternoon

play video games alone in my basement.

Great.

I'm not sure the administration will agree to that.

Or my wife.

And you?

Mr. Ambassador, we're all set.

We can take off.

Yeah, I'll be right there.

To Afghanistan?

To Afghanistan.

And to...

to Afghani women.

I think I'm going to sleep for three days

to start off.

Yes.

Thank you, Mr. President.

And...

goodbye.

Giovanni.

We found Harun's family.

Hi.

Hello. Hello, sir.

Hello. Hi.

I am the Italian... I was the Italian

consul in Afghanistan.

We found your son at the airport,

but he's safe and sound.

We just landed in Doha, Qatar.

I'll get to him later and I'll let you

talk to him. Okay?

Thank you so much, Mr. President.

Thank you so much.

Harun?

Harun.

- Haroon! - Mom! Mom!

Where were you?

We are still in Kabul with your father. Where are you?

My uncle took me to Doha.

I'm safe with the man who took me.

You'll come to Italy?

Thank you.

Mr. Consul.

It's time to eat.

It's time to eat.

Did they give you something to eat?

Yes. Thank you. I'm feeling better.

Good. I spoke with the French

embassy in their last plane left earlier.

So if your parents did go to France,

they're already on their way.

But we're leaving for Tashkent tonight,

so

if you want you can come with us.

From Berlin you can easily find your family in

France. Do you have

any papers

or papers of your daughter,

anything that proves your identity?

Saint Croix's daughter.

Saint Croix's daughter.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

She's not my daughter.

She's alone.

I'm begging you.

We can't leave this

country now.

You call your family?

Straight to

Hoismount.

Where in the US will I be?

Virginia.

To start.

After that you're free.

Free.

I know a security

firm in Minnesota.

Old buddy of mine from the Marines.

I can get you in touch.

I think we've had enough of war for now.

We're almost there boss.

Alright.

Take him to the medical room, now!

Excuse me, you can't get up. We have to do a head scan.

- Who brought me here? - An ambulance.

You were found unconscious at Abbey Gate.

There was a terrorist attack.

My daughter?

My daughter.

Did you see my daughter?

I don't know. She was taken here alone.

I don't know, you were brought in alone.

I have to go back to the airport.

My daughter is there.

- My daughter is there... - It's over.

The airport is closed. All the Westerners are leaving.

No one is there.

There's no one left there.

Breathe calmly.

That's it, keep going.

I'm with him at the hospital.

Mr. Nazani.

M. Nazani?

Where is Amina?

Did you see her at the water gate?

Were you at Abbey Gate?

You were supposed to protect her!

And you let her go alone.

But you're right to be angry.

We're all right to be angry.

I have to go home.

I have to go home.

Give me your hand.

I take this one.

Bolani?

I'm here.

My children...

My darling...

I don't know anything about you yet.

I haven't heard from you yet,

but if I had lost hope, I wouldn't have even come home.

Bolani didn't come back home either.

Bolani hasn't returned.

I'm alone at home.

I'm alone for now,

but I'm sure he's somewhere in the building...

I found this poem from a young poet.

I just found this poem by a young poet.

His name is Ramin Mazhar.

I'm going to read it for you.

I'll read it to you.

"Each step, each destination I love you."

I'm going to love you.

I'm going to love you against the tradition of killing.

Despite the murderous traditions, I love you.

You are a believer, and your prayer is a curse.

You are pious, your kisses are prayers.

You are different.

You are different.

Your kisses are your protest.

You are not afraid of love.

Of hope, of tomorrow.

I kiss you amidst the Taliban You are not afraid...

I love you.

I love you too

as I love this country.
