Original subtitles

- Dad, can I come too? - Oh-hhh.

Not till you're older.

But then you can sit at the head of the table, by me.

Go to your nanny.

I'm very proud of Musab.

I don't want him to grow up to be a slave...

a slave like me,

like all of us.

We don't want our children to be slaves.

No.

Wait.

Okay, time for homework.

Can I go and visit my mother first?

Sure.

Musab.

Musab.

Musab!

Hide and seek!

One, two...

They call us warlords.

Lords of what?

We are landowners,

leaders of provinces.

But what does that count for, if the government takes its orders

from Soviets or America?

We are pawns, and they push us

where they choose to.

Well, I won't be pushed any further.

14, 15.

Musab, let's go back into the house.

We can play inside, okay?

Musab!

Musab! Somebody help me!

Where is my son? Where is my son?

Musab!

Saeed! Saeed!

Musab! We have to stop the fire.

Musab!

Musab.

Musab.

Musab. Please.

Oh, please!

Who told them we were here?

Who is the traitor?

Habibi. Habibi.

Why are you here?

Why have you come with that camera around your neck?

I... I was just traveling.

In a war zone?

There was no fighting when I got here.

But there is now.

No, I...

I ran out of money.

Khalid's offered me a job.

In his bed.

That's how you fooled him.

Spy!

Murderer!

Who told the Soviets?

- - Shit.

Who's running away?

Who?

Blood will have blood.

- And then you've got a month - To work on your final papers.

Okay? All right, have a good weekend.

So do you know who you're going to work with?

I'm working with Tanya.

Right. Okay, cool.

- It's Mina, right? - Yeah.

- Are you American? - Yeah. Well,

my parents aren't, but I was born there,

so I guess the accent stuck.

Bad luck.

Mina.

Frederick.

I think these are your coursework suggestions.

You dumped them in my Pidge by mistake.

Thank you.

So, um...

Mom, I want to live at college.

We're only eight Miles away.

I'm not asking you to pay for it. I'll get my own job.

Mi, I don't know if we can keep this going without you.

What about after Oxford?

I can't keep working at the farm forever.

What do you want?

My own life.

I don't know.

Mina, what's a blow job?

What?

What are you reading?

Okay, that's bedtime.

Oh, but I want to stay up.

Did you read "j-17" when you were 17?

No, I read it when I was nine, like you.

Are you going to live somewhere else?

What? Who told you that?

I heard dad tell mom

you was getting a job at the supermarket

so you could leave and live somewhere else.

Dee,

do you really want to stay up?

You have to be quiet though. Shh shh shh.

Shh.

Okay, come on.

Come on.

Up we go. Okay.

Why is mom screaming? Shh.

Shh. Shh. Don't let them see you, okay?

There are robbers in the house.

Come with me.

Get in.

Get out of here!

Leave her alone!

Tie them.

Let go of me!

- Don't touch her. - Don't touch her.

What have you got for me here, right?

Now get mina and the girl.

How do they know your name?

Careful. Don't injure them,

- not until we are filming. - No!

Don't fucking move.

Mommy, mommy.

Come here.

- Get the phone. - It's dead.

- Run! - Mom.

Now!

I swear to God, hurt them and I will fuck you.

I swear to God I'll fucking kill them!

You would have killed them already! Now, mina, now!

Run, go go! Go!

Go. Come on, let's go. Run.

- Take her. - Mom.

Ring this number. Ring this number.

Just say the code.

- The phone's dead. - What?

Right, out of the window. To the neighbors, go.

- No, mom.

- I shall stay here with mom.

Now don't worry. She'll be all right. It's just a surface wound.

I'll be fine. I'll be fine.

Go, please, for me.

- - Jesus.

- Go. - Get Dee out of here now.

- Go go go go go go go. - Mom. Mom.

Get Dee out of here! Go!

Please please.

The village shop... there's... there's a payphone.

Oh my God, they're following us. Dee, run!

Shh.

Shit.

- Help. - Closed.

Please, there's someone after us. Please, you have to let me use your phone.

- Who? - I don't know.

Don't you recognize us from the farm?

Help. Someone's trying to kill us.

Go around the back. Around the back.

- Please, you have to help us. - Come on, come in quickly.

Someone's trying to kill us and they already have our parents.

Tell me later. I'll go and get the van.

Hello. Hello. Is that the police?

Yeah, I've got two girls here that...

how are you feeling?

- Where's my sister? - Dee's fine.

Actually she's... she's just a little bruised.

Wh... what...

what happened to my parents?

I'm sorry.

Look, I'm sorry, I'm going to have to ask you a few questions.

My name's Olivia. I'm here to help you.

We received your phone call.

Now can you describe your attackers?

You haven't caught them?

No.

They were dark-skinned.

How many?

Three.

And one of them had a tattoo on his hand.

Can you draw it? Here.

Excuse me, I need to take this to fax.

You're not gonna tell me who did it?

They knew my name!

Wait!

I'm not answering any more of your questions

until you tell me who did this.

Does the name Khalid Zeerak mean anything to you?

Were you aware that your mother traveled before you were born?

She told me Turkey and... and Yemen.

And the Wakhan corridor? Where it was used as a silk route

from Tajikistan all the way through to China?

Well, she... your mother took some of these pictures.

She lived there for almost a year.

She never told me that.

And while she was hiking, she ran into some bandits

who took everything and left her stranded.

And it was then that she came to the house of this Khalid.

He employed your mother as a nanny to his son.

Why are you telling me this?

Because Khalid is a warlord.

Do you understand?

He's a terrorist.

And...

Less than a year after your mother went to work for him,

someone told the Soviets where he lived

and they bombed his house.

Your mother escaped

and the Americans asked us to find her a new identity,

because they knew that he would hunt her down

and kill her no matter what.

His son was killed in the bomb.

Are you saying that my mother was a spy?

No.

She was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

But Khalid thought she was.

Your dad knew too.

He was ex-army.

Why now?

Something must have tipped him off

that your mother was still alive,

perhaps when you moved over from the states or...

do you use any social networking sites,

like Facebook or Flickr or...?

Are you trying to say that this is my fault?

No. God no. No no no.

I'm sorry, I...

I just...

I just want to go see my parents, okay?

Would you like to come through?

Mina, this is Simon.

He works for me.

I want to see my sister now.

You can't.

You'll be twice as easy to spot together.

Why does Khalid want us anyway?

We didn't even do anything.

His son died.

It's a vendetta culture there.

I mean, people get killed for things their grandparents did.

They tried to kill your sister too.

You saw it yourself.

If you know who he is, why can't you catch him?

We've been looking for, what, 10 months?

That whole region is a diplomatic no-go zone.

Officially we're not even there.

That's why I've hired Simon unofficially.

He's not British intelligence. He's a...

an independent contractor.

Just let me talk to her.

She's nine years old. We can't trust her not to tell...

what?

That you're still alive.

She thinks I'm dead?

Mina, everyone does.

Who's sue Walker?

You are.

Nice place.

The...

The owners are away for six months then we'll move you on.

You'll be used to sue Walker by then.

Who's sue Walker?

It's your name.

Simon, please take me to my sister.

No one needs to know.

I'm not paid to make decisions like that, mina.

I'm sorry.

Come on, I want to show you something.

It's a penthouse, so you...

you can have a roof garden.

Thought it might make you feel more at home.

Sorry about the... the view.

I'll be in England till the end of the week.

My number's in there.

Dee?

Sorry, this number is no longer available.

I'll be fine.

Go, please, for me. Go.

Mom!

Dee!

There's a new study out from the London school of hygiene and tropical medicine...

which sounds like a fun school to go to.

They did a study on obesity and calculated

- 34 billion lbs overweight.

Soon we'll need a rascal scooter to help us get round the side.

You see, the average human body weight is 137 lbs

and in north America it's 189 lbs.

Another terrorist attack in the Wakhan corridor last night.

Fanatical anti-Western nationalist Khalid Zeerak

claimed responsibility as part of his ongoing campaign

to prevent oil company Nasco drilling in the region.

The chief adviser to Nasco, Mohammed Ibrahami,

was targeted and killed in the attack.

His son Dagar will continue his father's work.

Let this be a message to foreign imperialists

and the traitors who help them:

This is just the beginning.

- - Mina, it's me... Simon.

Mina.

Mina, I can't go until I've seen you.

All right.

Well...

I don't know that I should even show you this,

but I want you to know that she's okay.

You need to let me talk to her.

I can't do that. You know I can't do that.

- 'Cause you're not paid to do that. - No, I'm not paid to do this.

I am sticking my neck out as it is, showing you that video.

Great, thank you so much.

Now I'm gonna tell you something.

I don't know how long it's gonna take to find Khalid,

but I do know this... that you have to lead

the life that you have now. You have to live it.

I'm sticking around here tonight.

I can help you tidy up your apartment.

I don't want you to help me tidy up my apartment.

You need to put one foot in front of the other and...

I can't do that right now, okay?

You have to live, now.

- I'm helping you. - Take this.

- I am helping you. - You're not helping me.

Stop talking to me like I'm a fucking kid, okay?

Stop acting like a fucking kid, okay?

You know what? Get out!

Just leave.

She doesn't seem to be here.

Okay.

Please leave a message after the tone.

- I'll be back - In one minute.

Shit.

Hey.

Bitch, come here.

I didn't show you this one.

Mina, we know that Khalid raped your mother.

She said it was a one-night stand in Yemen.

She was trying to protect you.

Look, we... we didn't want to have to tell...

we didn't expect this to...

you're his only heir

and he wants you back.

I think I'm gonna be sick.

He's a psychopath, and something about you

just makes him crazier.

But it was really unlike him to take these risks.

Sorry, do you want to use my bathroom?

What are you suggesting?

- Probably we've got a mole - In this department.

They found her sister tonight too.

Jesus. Is she okay?

- Yes, she's fine, - But this time

they weren't shooting tranquillizers.

I mean, imagine,

if he did find her,

she'd lead us straight to him.

How's my sister?

She's fine. She...

we're just gonna keep moving from place to place

until you catch him, right? Or until he catches us?

No, look, we will... we will catch him.

When?

It could take years.

- Let him catch me. - What?

You can't tell me you haven't thought about it before, right?

It's really easy. You just track me,

and then I lead you right to him.

No, look, we...

we don't do things like that with civilians.

And if anyone found out, this whole department would be shut...

then don't let anyone find out.

Let Simon do it.

He's not officially working for you, right?

And I'm legally dead anyway.

There you are.

Sorry about that.

Had to make it look real.

Do you think Khalid will really believe that you kidnapped me?

I don't think he'd trace it back to me.

And even if he could...

Somewhere you can breathe.

So I've got a few

that I just want you to just take a look at,

so that it's not too crazy when you're out there.

This is an m16.

This is mostly what our guys are gonna be with.

Just so you've got a sense of it.

Don't point that at me.

Don't ever point a gun at someone when you're not gonna use it.

Here, I'll show you how to do the clip.

That's there,

and there's a bit more that goes in there.

Pops back in. That's the safety catch.

And then just line it up.

You want to pull this... brace this into your...

here, brace this into your shoulder like that.

- Yeah. - Okay.

And then just line up the sight.

- You got it? - Mm-hmm.

Okay.

Um...

We'll move onto those... that AK-47 first.

But I'll just show you a couple of pistols.

That's the Glock. If you want to weigh that up?

You ready?

Want to try it?

Put your hands up. Now.

That's good. That's really good.

So choose your weapon.

Come on, mina, think.

This pencil... here, grab it,

jab it here, under the ear... deadly.

This mirror... grab a towel,

smash it.

Will they kill him?

Well... no no.

Olivia wants him

taken alive for information.

But after that he'll be executed, right?

Well, he'll stand trial.

Simon, he killed my parents.

I know.

But there's knowing it, and then

there is proving it.

Oh, that's Olivia.

Working very late, as ever.

Does she have any family?

Her department's her family... literally.

Her dad is probably the best operative they have.

Is that why she got the job?

No no no. He's strictly by the book.

That is why she didn't want to send you in...

in case dad found out.

Well, he'll be happy when she finds Khalid.

No shit.

What about you? What are you gonna do with the ransom?

I don't know.

I've had my eye on this Bentley.

I meant, are you going to hand it over to the government?

Mina, I work for money.

Well yeah, but for the good guys too, right?

Yeah, of course I prefer that.

But it's just not always that simple, you know.

Sometimes it's like now... they send me in

because of some diplomatic issue.

Sometimes they just don't want to get their hands dirty.

So have you done things that you thought were wrong?

So whose initials are those?

Oh, these are my wife's.

She's gone. It's a long time ago.

What happened?

That is a long story.

You know, in school they said

that smoking takes five years off your life.

Oh yeah?

At mine they said 10.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I didn't... I thought you were...

- Yeah. - ...Still...

We're on.

- You up for this? - Yeah.

Okay.

It used to be that you could just swallow a homing device

or stick it up your ass.

But I think Khalid's men are too shrewd for that.

I don't think they'll have seen one of these.

Will it hurt?

A little bit.

Argh!

Fucking...

wow, you're tough.

I've seen 18-stone marines faint from that.

Now...

Let's see if we've got you.

There you are.

Now that's gonna bruise quite badly,

so camouflage.

Take your pick.

Simon.

Yeah?

I was just wondering if you...

if you ever felt...

holy shit!

- Take his wallet. Take his wallet. - Simon.

- American? English? - Simon, wake up!

No.

Please.

Hey?

Rich?

Pay good ransom?

Is he your dad?

What?

My dad's Khalid Zeerak.

Sit on your hands.

Sit on your hands!

Sit on...!

So...

We are in big trouble, huh?

Lie to me again, bitch, and I'll kill you, okay?

We're still in the air.

I can't get someone to you for two hours. Over.

Jesus, okay.

Out.

No one will pay for me.

Well, we're gonna use you then.

No.

No! No!

Whoa whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Stop. Stop.

Simon.

Come in, Simon.

Olivia, did you copy? Yes.

Do the bandits still have her?

Three hostiles down. No sign of mina.

She's still on the move.

Whoa whoa whoa.

Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa.

Alf dollar.

- Alf? Alf? - Dollar.

Yeah?

- Huh? - Jacket.

You want this?

Sorry about that, mate.

- Salaam. - Salaam alaikum.

- Yallah yallah. - Move.

Allahu akbar...

Stay.

Did they hurt you?

- You're safe here with me. - Who are you?

Saba Abdali.

I work with your father Khalid.

That was not supposed to happen to you.

Those boys that took you...

I'm afraid my country's full of those opportunists.

You work for a terrorist.

First I need to run some tests on you.

Now I could force you and I'll call Abu back.

Or if you let me do it... easier.

Your choice.

It's supposed to mean freedom from oppression and rules.

Okay.

Get dressed now.

The results are positive.

I've got to go out now.

I've written my cell number on top,

in case you might need me.

Understand your father's need to see you.

He's lost his only son.

Try to respect that.

He's upstairs.

You...

Look like...

like me.

How dare you?

You think you can kill my mother and I'll still be your daughter?

What? Your mother?

- Wait. - What is that?

Let her go. Let her go. Let her go!

I don't understand.

Your mother is dead?

Your men killed her.

Wait. Stop.

I thought she was dead,

20 years.

Look.

Last week I find out she's alive.

And we have a daughter.

She called you mina...

my language, Pashto, for "love."

Now you say she's dead.

She was murdered three weeks ago.

Who?

Tell me who

and I will kill them.

Olivia, is that our guys coming in?

Who's this?

I thought you were a terrorist.

Me?

You should see what Dagar would do without me to protect our people.

I think something's gone horribly wrong.

But you can explain it to them, right?

Them?

British intelligence.

I led them to you.

Olivia, are these our guys?

What the fuck is going on?

Fuck.

Fuck.

Olivia, what the fuck?

Olivia, Dagar must have hacked our signals.

Whoa whoa whoa.

All right. Whoa.

All right, all right. I don't understand.

Go. Make sure no one is left alive.

In English, please,

for our guest.

I knew she'd make you come crawling from under your rock.

Your love is your weakness.

Before you die,

you'll watch me kill her,

like you killed my father.

I didn't know your father was in that factory.

Don't tell me you're sorry.

He was helping you sell our people to foreigners.

I'm just sorry you weren't in there with him.

- Get down!

Help me!

Say it.

Say it.

Khalid...

No!

No no.

No, please. No!

Say goodbye to your daughter.

Leave her.

- Leave her! - Say it.

- No! - Say it.

Mina!

Oh oh.

Ahmed!

Just... just... just...

you're not a killer.

Come on.

Mina, come on. We have to go.

Ahmed!

Ahmed. Ahmed.

In here.

Ahmed.

Out out out.

Up up up.

Sir.

You're making a big fucking mistake.

That girl is under U.K. Protection.

What? I thought she was legally dead.

Get down. Now! Get down.

- Shoot them off the road. - What?

Shoot them off the road, now.

It's not working.

I led them to you.

Get out of the car.

We can hide between those rocks.

Get out!

Save yourself...

For me.

No!

No!

No no no no no!

She's dead.

Shall we kill him?

He won't be causing us any more trouble.

He's just a paid idiot.

Go. Get out of here.

A victory in the battle against terrorism today,

as terrorist Khalid Zeerak was killed

in an attack in the capital city of Bogh,

where he was believed to have been living

for almost a year without detection.

It's unclear how intelligence

obtained information as to his whereabouts.

The raid, conducted by a specialist local armed force,

occurred in the early hours of this morning.

It brought about an end to Khalid's reign of terror

- over the tribe of Dagar Ibrahami. - No.

Nasco oil is and will continue

to destroy this region.

My people's homes are being cleared

to make way for the pipeline.

As long as I live,

I will stop at nothing

to expose and end this.

Saba.

Saba?

Oh, sorry. Excuse me.

Simon?

Mina?

Is that you?

Oh my God.

You're alive.

How?

I saw you in Khalid's car.

You... he kidnapped you.

No.

No, he... you were there?

Yeah, um...

I've found out where Olivia's holed up.

You're not safe out here. You follow me

at a distance.

Keep your head down, okay?

Okay.

You're alive.

You're alive.

And the man who killed your parents is dead.

No.

It was Dagar. He made us think it was Khalid.

- What?

There's still trouble.

Now I told you I wanted it to be cleared by tonight.

It will be.

There are only a few villages left to clear.

My men are on their way up there now.

You knew once Khalid was dead, there would be no resistance.

Look, there's to be no mention of Khalid or village clearances

or your role in this to harm Helder, okay?

You're just the local advisor, all right?

You know there'll be no payout without me.

There are plenty more of your type out there.

It's not your oil to bargain with.

Careful, you're starting to sound like Khalid.

Dagar, we both know

you're motivated by money.

Fine. See you at the compound later.

Mina, I'm on your side.

No, you're not. You work for Dagar.

I didn't know that, I swear.

Intelligence don't either. Olivia clearly has her own private agenda.

He murdered my parents.

Don't you get it? Olivia told them where my family was

so that they could get to Khalid. She... she let them die.

All right.

You're alive. Your sister is alive.

I have a place in Canada for when I retire.

- You'll be safe there. - What about these people?

Dagar's destroying their homes

so that the oil company can drill.

He's taking everything from them.

And he's going to get away with it, because we gave him Khalid.

Didn't you ask where your money was coming from?

I'm not a politician.

So you're not gonna do anything.

I'll tell you

I'm going to go to Olivia. I'm gonna ask for my money.

Otherwise she thinks I'm a threat.

And I'm gonna get a plane from her

and I'm going to get you out of here alive.

And then we'll testify?

You think they're gonna believe you... Khalid's daughter?

There won't be a shred of evidence linking Olivia to any of this.

But they'll trust you.

Listen, this is the real world,

and people get fucked over.

I'm gonna tell you

you can stand up for a principle and you can die,

or you can walk away

and you can live.

I want you to live.

Don't fucking touch me.

I'll have that plane tomorrow night...

when you can see some sense!

It was getting infected.

You could have died.

We can't let them get away with this.

What can we do?

Khalid gave us hope and leadership.

They're inspecting the oil compound tonight.

- We need to film it.

You want them to stand trial?

No, I want proof.

And then I want to kill them.

Oh, you won't be able to use that.

It's too dangerous, too noisy.

You just want to get in and get out.

But you can use this.

Do you think you have it in you

to slit a man's throat?

I am a warlord's daughter, aren't I?

How can you get us in?

My cousin can.

He drives the employees' luggage in every week

from the airport to the oil company.

It's an empty bus. He can meet us there, on the way.

It's about 15 Miles from here, at a checkpoint.

Will it be safe for you?

No.

- The checkpoint. - Get down and stay down.

I'll sort this.

He'll be here in 15 minutes.

Mr. Helder, Mr. Ibrahami, I see you've both met.

All the last-minute glitches have been ironed out

so we are ready to proceed.

- Because, if there's - Any sign of trouble,

we don't want another Niger delta on our hands.

I assure you the resistance died with Khalid.

I'm sure it's nothing.

Simon.

I was worried about you.

Cut the crap, Olivia.

What?

You gave me no fucking idea what I was walking into.

And you didn't expect me to walk out again, did you?

It's all right. I just want my money.

Of course you do.

You leave the talking to me.

Please don't worry. He's a professional.

He's discreet.

If he wasn't, he'd be dead by now.

- You didn't tell me - There'd be a third share.

I'll pay him out of my share.

Abdul.

Alarm! Alarm! Alarm!

- - What the fuck is that?

I'm sure it's nothing.

You fucking bitch.

You're the reason my parents are dead.

No, okay? I told him not to hurt anyone.

He was just meant to kidnap you, so we could get to Khalid.

And rape this country.

This country was fucked before you were born.

People get killed here every day.

Terrorists are trained here.

The oil company would stop all that.

It's better for everyone.

You're believing your own bullshit.

Because if there's any sign of trouble,

we don't want another Niger delta on our hands.

I assure you the resistance died with...

you'll never prove I was ever here.

Did you send that clip to anyone?

You're not just hurting me. You are compromising

the whole of British intelligence.

Scared your dad will see it?

Look, you stupid little bitch,

you are not gonna fuck this up for me.

You're legally dead already.

Who did you send that clip to?

- Miss hawks...

Nothing.

Nothing. It's a false alarm.

Don't let her out of your sight.

A dog hit the fence.

Sometimes I think our security's too good.

Right, business.

Before I go, I'd like to see the pump working.

Of course.

As you can see, Mr. Helder,

this is the main housing for the pump station.

Yallah yallah, Mushi Mushi.

- So I hope - You're satisfied.

It'll be at full capacity within a week.

Sir, there is no smoking in here.

Help! Help!

Help! Let me out!

- Oh good... - Simon.
