Don't worry.

Everything's gonna be okay.

I don't remember, but I woke up in a cold sweat and Monica was sleeping next

to me peacefully.

That happens a lot when you take Alprazolam.

I prefer it to the panic attacks.

If you still feel a little shaky, I can write you a new prescription.

No, I'm feeling good.

Yeah, I miss being out in the field, but I've settled in at the office and I'm

doing a lot better.

With Monica, my girlfriend.

It was hard for her when I came back from Afghanistan with

my PTSD and all of that.

But she was always there for me.

And do you wake up before or after the accident?

And how do you feel about everything going on there now?

of 2001, President George W. Bush formed our nation and the United States

military begun strikes on terrorist training camps in Afghanistan.

I flew to Afghanistan to the Kunar Valley.

What I saw on that trip reinforced my conviction that only the Afghans have

the right and responsibility to lead their country and that more and endless

American military force could not create or sustain a durable Afghan government.

I concluded that it's time to end America's longest war.

It's time for American troops to come home.

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.

Hey,

what are you doing here?

Assalamu alaikum, Commander.

I'm coming from Mazar-e-Sharif.

The main road was very far.

I know this road very well.

I'm a shopkeeper.

I'm coming.

Where are you going?

I was working with the Germans.

Now I'm going to the embassy to help me.

Most of the embassies are closed.

I'm going straight to the airport.

I have to go to the diplomatic office.

You shouldn't be here either. It's very dangerous for you.

The roads are full of Taliban.

How did they get here?

They were on this road.

Maybe they'll come from this way.

Good luck.

Goodbye, Commander.

Get back to your positions.

If they attack,

how?

Do you really trust them?

I worked near Erat.

I made carpets. I had a small shop in the bazaar.

I was an informant for the Italian army there for two years between 2013 and

2015.

Then I learned my father was sick and I had to go back to my family in Hondos.

What kind of informant?

I give information about movements.

About to support Taliban, about Taliban coming into town, all sort of

informations.

And do you have any proof?

Anyone who can verify what you're telling me? Any paper?

What's your contact? I don't have any proof.

If I had proof, they would have destroyed it. You know what Taliban do

to traitors.

I am only asking for a visa for my wife and four children. That's all. But if

you don't have proof, why would the Taliban?

Do you realize what we have done for you?

The risk we've taken. The sacrifices because we don't want Taliban. I know.

I'm sorry. We simply can't give visas to everyone.

That's not my problem.

I'm sorry.

Why do we trust you?

You come in my country, you make a mess of everything.

It was a mess long before we got here, don't you think?

Wait here.

Wait here.

Colonel.

Five minutes.

I'll be right back.

Can I have a word?

Sure. So, um, have you been with... this guy for 15 minutes and he won't listen.

He says he was an informant for the army, but he doesn't have any proof.

So I was thinking that maybe we should try to... Did you check the records?

Uh, no.

I don't have access.

Then go wrong. Ask for access.

And if in doubt, ask your conscience.

Does he look like a liar?

Or does he seem honest?

I don't know.

Then if you don't know, just...

Don't do it for him.

Do it for them.

I can guarantee you one thing.

That here three will judge us for selling out this country at the expense

of women.

How long have you been here?

Three months.

Have you ever left the embassy?

Yeah, well, you're just here to stampede us, aren't you?

Well, you could have done that from Rome.

Next one, please.

Is she always like that?

She did three years in Syria and two in Iraq.

Does that answer your question?

Amina? Amina?

Did you

want

to work at the department?

If I become like this one day, kill me.

How are you today?

Why don't you eat?

I wish I didn't.

My dear.

My dear, you have to eat.

If you don't, you won't get old.

I don't want to get better.

I know, but you have to stop crying.

Amina, there are very bad girls here.

No, you're talking too much.

I'm just going to go home, okay?

. . . . A terrorist attack. A terrorist attack. A

terrorist

attack.

We've been requesting for 15 years.

We've only received one sentence.

Good morning.

Good morning.

We've been waiting for you.

Excuse me.

Hello. I forgot.

Thank you.

I'll be back tonight.

Thank you.

Finally, we'll give Amina to her husband.

We learned about his date of meeting.

Thank you.

I'm glad to see you, ma'am.

I haven't seen you in a long time. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for you.

I'm sorry for you.

I'm sorry for you.

I'm sorry for you.

They were happy to be here, but unfortunately they couldn't come because

of the war.

What did your father say about the Taliban?

Nothing.

It doesn't matter.

It's true that my father is a religious man.

But he doesn't support the Taliban in any way.

Anyway, if no one gets out, we'll have to live under your authority.

Why don't you follow us, father?

I'm not going anywhere.

Do you think they will allow you to work?

Let's talk about it next time.

The Taliban fell in 1996.

Now they know that this country needs a doctor.

You don't have to understand what you're talking about. The Taliban hasn't

changed, and no one will change.

As soon as they take Kabul,

they will turn this country into hell.

Amina, do you want to come with me?

I still love her.

I'm happy for her.

How's your marriage?

Because of the marriage, it's not so bad, but it's not good.

I'm proud of you.

I'm proud of you.

What do you mean, what do you mean?

Salafi, Americans, like the fighters of Ghazia,

are in a very bad state.

They are suffering from these problems.

All right, Dad.

I just wanted to tell you that I'll be back in France soon, and I'd love to see

you.

Call me if you like.

Come on, guys.

What do we do with the computers?

No orders yet, but when in doubt, destroy them. There's no time to lose.

We've been burning fire for two days, but it seems like we're getting nowhere.

Well, work harder.

We can't leave anything behind.

Got it.

What are you doing?

I'm not leaving the fish to the Taliban.

Yes, we'll print them vices.

But just because we're the last embassy still open doesn't mean we have to take

care of everyone the other Europeans left behind.

I understand that I can't work miracles.

Call you back.

I got some very troubling intel.

The Taliban have taken Jalalabad and Pulishek a prison.

They freed everyone.

Taliban, of course, but also regular criminals and Daesh.

Why would they do that?

They're saying it's a blanket amnesty, but I think they just want ISIS to start

creating chaos.

I don't believe the Taliban's going to wait until the 31st to enter the city.

That was the deal.

It was.

So you think we have to close the embassy?

I do.

I don't think anyone's safer anymore.

Okay, I'll talk it over with Paris and keep you posted.

Did you find out about Polcharkhi?

I found out about the Taliban.

I went to prison.

And they released all the prisoners.

You can't stay here,

Zahra. It's very dangerous.

You have to go.

Zahra, you're a woman.

And you've sentenced dozens of people.

I'm sure you're on their side.

I'm not going to America.

I'm done.

What are you doing?

Two cars are getting closer.

Stay alert.

What should we do? Be ready for battle.

There are too many of them!

I told you to turn back!

I told you to turn back!

Listen, this is suicide.

This is a serious crime.

Brother, our mother is useless here. We have to leave.

If we all die, what do you think we'll do?

We will fight with the Taliban.

450 calories from this.

They must add MSG or something.

Trying adding flavor.

Thank you.

0.03 grams of salt.

I mean, when you lose your leg on an IAT, you'll be glad your femoral artery

wasn't clogged.

The Taliban have entered Kabul.

The Americans say... They're about to take over the presidential palace and

they'll be at the airport in a few hours.

We go on red alert.

Pack your things. We're evacuating.

A plane will be leaving Afghanistan with the entire Italian diplomatic delegation

in three hours.

Yes. How much time would that give us?

Okay, my security chief just arrived.

Please call me back as soon as you know more.

They're heading for the green zone.

I spoke with the General Mazury. They are coordinating with the Americans to

turn the two Chinooks.

Now I'm going to destroy the encryption room and the last sensitive documents.

In less than an hour, there will be no trace left of the French presence in

Afghanistan.

Afghanistan's president, Ashraf Ghani, announced that he'd left the country for

his safety.

Taliban are talking about a peaceful transfer of power in Kabul, while

Taliban fighters have already taken the presidential palace.

Confusion reigns in the...

The Taliban have reached the ground.

If they don't come back, what do you think will happen to them?

If you govern a country and you have dignity,

you can do anything.

I

don't

want to die.

Are you kidding?

They said two Chinooks and we end up with this?

Shit. We can't fit more than ten of us in there.

Then we'll evacuate the diplomats first.

You, me, and the police will wait for the next helicopter.

If they know an ambassador is still in Kabul, they'll have to... No, wait. We

evacuated diplomats. It means you first.

No! I'm the captain of this ship. I want to better my team. I'm saying... You're

not abandoning anyone.

The Taliban are pouring into the green zone.

If they find out that the French ambassador is still here, we'll all be

in danger, including the Afghans who are protecting under this roof. So, come on,

put this down.

Put this down. Okay.

Keep getting on this damn bird.

It's my responsibility, okay?

It'll be more useful at the airport to find a way to pick us up. Okay, let's

go.

Rotation at the gate and get the Afghans to safety.

We also need to take stock of our food supplies. Yes, sir. Okay.

Amina. Amina. Amina.

I'll be right back. Rafi, don't worry about me.

We're going to France.

We're going to France. I told you.

I'm too old.

I'm too old and helpless.

I'll find a way.

You go.

It really made me proud to spend years with you.

I'm telling you the truth.

May God be with you.

For-

Let me palm him.

I am an old man.

I don't know anything.

I don't know where my brothers are.

The law says that the Bacchus and the Persians should be banished.

وَأَرْجُلُهُمْ مِّنْ خَلَافٍ أَوْ يُنْفُو فِي الْأَرْضِ ذَلِكَ

لَهُمْ خِذْيٌّ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَلَهُمْ

فِي الْآخِرَةِ أَدَابٌ أَدِينٌ

Margaret? If you've come to yell at me about Kabul, it's not my fault. I've

been telling Berlin to evacuate everyone as fast as possible for weeks, and

nobody listens to me. Send me back.

In case you haven't been following the news, we are getting our people out of

the country, not in.

General Hassan is unreachable.

He's the devil incarnate for the Taliban.

We need to get him out.

Vera will be more useful here.

He saved my life.

Margaret saved my life.

And not only mine, he.

Look what he accomplished in Kampisa.

He rebuilt hospitals. He opened schools for girls.

I know, Vera. General Hassan is the future of Afghanistan.

I know the lay of the land.

You said yourself Germany's not doing the right thing.

Let me help save Faith.

Let's say Germany's face is in your hands.

Last time I checked, you had enough for it.

Read Mestring's report.

If you have any doubts.

I'm of all meds.

I'm good.

Please, Ed.

In your opinion, can we go to the pension?

After all, our hope is our country.

Who are you calling?

An American.

He might be able to help you get to the pension.

Which American?

I was doing a business with him.

Which business?

It doesn't matter.

I don't care.

Now it's your turn to talk.

The Americans have released us.

Hello.

Hello, Father.

Thank God you answered.

Your phone's not ringing.

Thank God you're alive.

Thank God you're alive. Where are you?

Come with us. We're on our way to France.

It's over there.

It's safe.

We're going to Baghram.

We were able to get out of the camp.

We arrived too early, Dad. We couldn't do anything.

You fought for your country.

You did everything you could.

You didn't do anything wrong.

Don't be ashamed, son.

But your life is more dangerous than ours.

You can't stay in Afghanistan.

This is my homeland, Dad.

I can't let it go.

Taliban have been defeated, brother.

Nothing else will come of it.

I'm going with the Taliban to Panjshir.

Don't be crazy.

The most powerful group in the world.

They couldn't defeat the international revolution. Brother, what's going on in

Panjshir?

Is this suicide?

Get up, father.

His life is in danger.

Do you want to go to France?

Do you hear me?

Come to the French embassy. The door is open.

Your mother wants to talk to you.

No, not now.

I'll call you later.

Have a nice day.

Mom, we're just having a stopover in Doha.

Okay? But I think I will be in Rome the day after tomorrow.

Mom, we're at the airport.

And it's safe here. There's no risk.

We don't really know. Apparently they entered the city.

But the U.S. Army is everywhere here. So it's safe.

Okay?

Listen, I really have to go now.

I will call you once I'm in Doha.

Yes, I know, Mom. I know.

I know.

And I love you, too.

Bye. Bye.

Rome wants me out of here now.

We're lost in a battle during Congo.

They don't want to take any risks, which is normal.

But we need to keep a diplomatic presence. Sure.

I can do that, Mr. Ambassador.

There are hundreds of people to evacuate.

It can't be up to you and your soldiers to sort them out. Well, I can stay here

with Massini just long enough to make sure that everybody is set and ready. No

one can predict what will happen in the coming hours.

Rome won't leave a woman in such a hostile situation.

Precaution. Look, there are soldiers everywhere here.

And it would be a symbolic way to assert our principles.

Your courage is a credit to you, Francesca.

But it's out of the question.

Then what do we do?

Yeah.

Giovanni will stay.

What?

I'm sorry, what?

You're the man for the job.

I mean, I don't feel like I'm... All you have to do is stay here and review all

the applications.

Colonel Matheny will bring them to you. Only for a few days, and you'll be

heavily protected.

Look, I'm sorry to disagree, but it's absurd to give such a critical job to a

young diplomat who has hardly ever left his office in Rome.

And I, I mean, no disrespect.

No, no, no, no. If you need anything, all our lines will be open to you. We'll

be by your side.

You are the official Italian representative in Afghanistan.

Believe me, it'll help your career.

Even NATO can't guarantee we'll be able to fly over Kabul again.

Thank you.

Yes. Yes, Balar is negotiating with the Americans to send you special forces.

I'll try to talk to them directly, but for now you have to stand firm. We'll do

everything we can to get you out of there. Okay, I understand.

Well?

The Americans will hold code of guard. There are thousands of people to

evacuate at the airport.

They won't be able to help us immediately.

What about special forces?

He's trying to find out.

We can't guarantee safety here.

We need to move.

Well, that hasn't been decided yet.

What if a hundred armed Taliban show up? What are we going to do?

They have other priorities right now.

How do you know?

All the Afghans are safe on the garden side.

Good.

Hello?

Yes, if you have a visa, you can come to the embassy with the door that will

open.

Be careful.

Are you out of your freaking mind?

There's 40 of us. We don't know how to evacuate, and you're telling people to

come? That's insane.

No one's safe here anymore.

They worked for us.

Their lives are in danger, and we're responsible for their safety.

Not at the expense of ours.

I'm the embassy security officer.

So let's be clear.

I'm not going to justify every decision I make.

Hi, Monica.

I'm just going for a week.

No, I can tell you where I know that.

I promise.

Okay. I love you, too.

Bye. President Fresno, it shouldn't take long.

Bundeswehr headquarters are going to love this. What's going on?

Most of our planes are coming back empty. The last one had only seven

Afghans. Pathetic.

Your car is here. Oh, great.

Devani.

My last smoke in Kabul.

It's funny, huh? Like, you were afraid to set foot outside, and now the outside

has come to you.

Here.

Take these. You...

You'll need them more than me.

I just wanted to stay and complete my mission.

It's not that I didn't trust you.

You're saying that so I won't fall apart.

If things get shitty, you can always hide.

There's a hole behind our containers.

It's protected by a hatch.

You just need to crawl inside.

Hey, I'm kidding.

There's no hole. There's no hideout.

But our army is here.

Hey,

everything's going to be fine. Yeah.

Thank you.

What happened?

The Taliban are here. A man said the Taliban are here. The Taliban are here,

but no one will hurt you.

Will you leave me alone?

Of course not.

Everyone is going to hell. Dear, I'm a doctor and I'm not going anywhere.

You said, which was the most important thing for you?

The most important thing for me is Oriana Said.

I'll be right back.

How are you?

Are you feeling better?

I will come back to you as soon as I can.

I wish you all the best.

May God bless you.

Good night.

Have a good day.

How the hell did that happen?

Yeah, right?

They must have spread the word.

It's the only place people can take refuge.

We need to disperse the crowd. We have no idea what the Taliban could do.

Let them in.

If the Taliban take the embassy, it could become a hostage situation.

The gates need to stay closed or half the city will be at our door.

Gage, stay close.

I repeat, Gage, stay close.

Hill up.

Yep.

Yeah, I was thirsty and I couldn't find a bottle of water.

And?

Did you find one? Mm-hmm.

We're not the Taliban, no.

They took the entire city, Mr. Consul.

What?

Mr. Consul.

Yep.

Really?

Yeah.

And it's the consul we need.

Get some rest.

We'll have a new wave of refugees in the morning.

When I was 12 years old, I was the best student in the class.

My teachers wanted me to go to Kabul and study law there.

They also said that I could study in an American university in the future.

For example, Yale and Harvard.

Father and mother didn't have money.

I don't know what's going on in this country.

What happened?

I don't know.

What happened?

I don't know.

I'm gonna go ahead and jump.

I'm gonna go ahead and jump.

They're on us, dude.

We wanted to go to the market in Kabul, but we decided to go home.

To the back, to the right, to the building.
