[Chase] Where's my daughter?

She was with you. Where is she now?

-She's been taken. -Taken?

We're gonna go get her back.

It's Hamzad.

He's gonna try to grab her himself.

[Khadija in Dari]

[Omar in English] My name is Omar. We have much to discuss.

You are looking at what is believed to be

one of the largest deposits of lithium in the world.

Faraz Hamzad controls it.

And it has made him the most unexpected of friends.

Hamzad, he's no friend of the Taliban.

So, how much money must be in the ground over there

to have brought mortal enemies together like this?

[speaks Dari]

[in English] Is that monster you?

Who are you?

[Chase grunting]

[Harper] What did we just walk into back there?

[Chase] Taliban intelligence.

She is dead. Emily.

She's been dead for a few days now.

You have no idea what she's capable of.

You don't even have any idea who she is.

[Chase] I know who he is.

It's just a matter of time before she says the wrong thing,

and he can't bear it anymore.

[Khadija in Dari]

[door opens]

[guard]

[footsteps]

[in English] What do you know?

I know that you work for Faraz Hamzad.

And I know that you have kidnapped a federal law enforcement officer

and that you are keeping her against her will.

So you know nothing.

You do not know where we are.

You do not know who we are.

You do not even know your own name.

Your mother kept it all from you.

My name is Angela Adams.

I'm a special agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

And if you cooperate with me,

there is a chance that I may be able to persuade the Bureau

not to arrest and prosecute you for kidnapping.

You will wear this.

It will help when he sees you.

When who sees me?

Your father.

You think that when my father gets here, he's going to care about what I'm wearing?

[Khadija] Your father is here.

Your father is Faraz Hamzad.

Your name is Parwana.

You were stolen in the dead of night from him by your mother

and by an American we called guest and friend.

That is who you are.

Mm-hmm.

Well, then I should see him then.

I mean, he must want to see me.

[Khadija] No.

Well, if he's my father, don't you think I should be talking to him directly?

[door closes, lock clicks]

[clanks]

[lock clicking]

[door creaking, closes]

[lock clicks]

[indistinct chattering]

[young Faraz singing in Dari]

[sobbing]

[breathing shakily]

[young Faraz] Parwana.

Parwana, oh.

Parwana, oh.

Parwana, oh.

Parwana, oh.

Parwana. Parwana.

[crying]

[groaning]

[singing in Dari]

[in English] Why are you here?

You kidnapped me.

You came with Harold Harper when I summoned him.

You found me as much as I found you.

Why?

I don't know.

My father, right behind you.

He fought the Soviets the first time they came.

He served at the right hand of a king.

He was a great man.

And his father's father.

He fought Queen Victoria's army to keep his own free.

He was a scholar. He... He wrote poetry.

I wanted to know where I came from.

That's why I got on the plane.

This...This is where you came from.

You're standing amongst men who faced British invaders,

Persian invaders, Mongol invaders.

Men who sacrificed everything to pass something on to their children.

Men who fought, bled,

argued and wrote to keep their country free.

I want to know about my mother.

I wanna know who she was.

I wanna know who she was to you.

What did they tell you?

That you were dangerous to my mother.

And that my father helped her escape from you.

What else did they say about me?

Nothing.

Your mother was cold and unfeeling.

She manipulated. She lied.

She betrayed whomever, whenever and however it suited her.

No.

She was something else...

before that.

In addition to that. There must have been more in her.

There must have been hope in her and love in her.

I never saw it

because she never showed it to me.

But I want to know what I was missing and I wanna know why.

I have come so far...

from where I started.

I've come all this way.

And I'll wear whatever it is you want me to wear.

And I'll answer to whatever name it is you want to call me.

Just tell me one...

good thing about her.

Tell me what I was missing.

[in Dari]

[indistinct chatter]

[in Dari]

Ah.

[laughs]

[inhales sharply]

[chuckles]

Hmm.

[scoffs]

[footsteps]

[sighs]

[in English] Don't say a word.

There's nothing I want to hear.

There's nothing more to say.

I lived with it for so long, I...

I woke up to it, I went to sleep to it.

I drowned in it, wanting to know.

And not wanting to know.

And now I know. And...

it's over.

You are exactly what I was afraid you would be.

You are your mother.

You fucking coward.

You don't want to hear from me?

You are dying to hear from me.

I know everything that you want to know.

You're just afraid to hear me say it.

You shouldn't have come here.

[Emily] I didn't come here.

You brought me here.

You killed my friend. You fucking abducted me.

You did all of that, and you don't have anything that you want to ask me?

Either you're a fucking moron,

or a fucking monster, or a fucking coward.

Goddamn it. Pick one! Or ask me what you want to ask me!

[breathes heavily]

[both grunting]

[grunting continues]

[Emily grunting, coughing]

[Faraz panting]

[both grunting]

[Emily huffing]

[Emily grunting] Fuck!

[panting]

[choking]

-[Faraz grunting] -[Emily gasping, huffing]

[Faraz panting, sobbing]

[Emily gasping, coughing]

[panting, grunting]

[Faraz continues panting, sobbing]

[sighs]

[Emily panting]

[sighs]

[Faruza in Dari]

[in English] You will stay here for now.

This is Faruza.

She will take care of you.

Come.

[winces, stammers] Can you... Can you stop?

Please?

-Who are you? -I am Bina's daughter.

She was Khadija's husband's sister.

Well, I don't know who they are.

I am your cousin.

[scoffs]

You know who I am?

Yes.

How do you know?

I remember.

We did not talk about it. We don't talk about those things.

But there was always an empty space in this house.

We knew someone was missing.

We felt it every day.

[teapot heating]

I don't understand what's happening.

[Khadija] To be very honest, I assumed you would be dead by now.

If there was a plan before...

there certainly is no plan now.

I have questions.

Well, of course you do.

[indistinct chatter]

Did you know my mother?

Yes.

Why did she leave the way she did? What happened?

She still will not tell you?

She's dead.

Why did she leave?

Was she afraid?

Was she in danger? Was she upset?

These are not the right questions.

I'm entitled to some answers.

-You're angry? -Yeah.

-You're goddamn right, I'm angry. -Everyone is angry.

And look where it has gotten us all.

When you are ready to ask different questions,

you will know where to find me.

[indistinct chatter in Dari]

[softly in English] Thank you.

-Ow. [chuckles] -[door opens]

[Faruza speaks Dari]

[Emily in English] Oh, it's okay.

You are good with him.

You have your own children back home?

No.

Not really.

What's his name?

Farouk.

Is his father here?

When the Taliban returned, we fought.

My husband was one of the first to lose his life, trying to protect us.

And then your father sent a message to Kabul by a courier.

And by nightfall, their soldiers were gone.

He keeps us safe.

Always.

Without him, things would get very hard for us here.

It would be very dangerous.

It would be horrible.

[footsteps approaching]

[Farouk speaking Dari]

[both chuckle]

[in English] He says he's been patient, but now it's his turn.

[Farouk speaking Dari]

[in English] Do you want me to save you?

I'm sorry.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. Okay. I'm coming.

[speaking Dari]

[in English] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay.

[Farouk speaking Dari]

Oh. [sighing] You have a little hideout here.

[speaking Dari]

[Farouk and Emily spelling in Dari]

[horse running]

[panting]

[Omar in Pashto]

[breathes heavily]

[Khadija in English] This was supposed to be impossible.

You said sanctions would not be made against our family,

that you had assurances.

Assurances no one could violate.

I am looking at it as we speak.

Everything is stopped.

There are Talib soldiers here.

Someone on your side of things has violated those assurances.

Someone powerful enough not to be bound by them.

Whoever did this,

they have put us in an impossible situation,

and I fear what is coming now.

[Emily] I did good?

Are American girls not taught to sew?

Not this one, I guess.

I watched my mother do it.

All of it.

It always seemed like this burden.

Like something she'd been sentenced to.

I used to sit there and watch her,

trying to puzzle out what it was she wished she was doing instead.

Now I'm wondering if it's the one thing that made her happy.

The thing that made her feel connected to the place that she learned it.

I swear, I thought if I ever found a place that knew her,

that all those questions would find answers.

Like there'd be this endless supply of answers.

But maybe that's not real.

Maybe that's what a ghost is.

The absence of answers in the shape of a person.

Put these on now.

[Emily] I don't understand.

It's not safe for you here anymore. Just put them on.

Wa... Stop.

[sighs]

What is happening?

What isn't safe?

[Khadija in Dari]

[lock clicks]

[soldier speaks Dari]

-[in English] Where are we going? -To a place to disappear.

A cave that I once told your mother of.

You will be safe there for a while, until I can find a way

to send you away safely and for good.

I'm sorry you lost your mother.

Must have been hard for you.

[young Emily] It was.

Thank you.

Are you happy?

[young Emily] I don't know what that means.

I don't know why I brought you here.

I believe I had a need to see you

that lived beyond choice.

Beyond words.

To say goodbye to you,

for the first time,

and for the last time.

I just wanted to know what you are returning to...

and if you would be happy there.

[young Emily] I don't know.

Can I ask you a question?

Yes.

[young Emily] What do you think of me?

That may not be a fair question to ask.

I just...

I'd like to know.

You want to know something good about your mother.

I will tell you that.

Your mother taught me the most valuable lesson I've ever learned in my life.

That you can love someone,

or you can trust them.

And no matter who the person is,

no matter how deeply either feeling is felt,

no matter how impossible it seems,

eventually you will have to choose.

I don't believe that.

I'm glad you heard it from me, then.

I'm glad you have time to make peace with it

before the lesson decides it wants to be learned.

What?

The cave is there.

I thought you said nobody knew about it.

They don't.
