00:04:09It's me.
00:04:10Our son is missing.
00:04:14Please help us find him.
00:04:18Oh.
00:04:19Uh...
00:04:20I'll just put on my pants, okay?
00:04:22Uh...
00:04:22Come on in.
00:04:23Come, come.
00:04:32Okay.
00:04:33I'm sorry, everything's a mess.
00:04:35I was working on a big case yesterday.
00:04:37Can you help us find our son?
00:04:39Uh...
00:04:40Just a second.
00:04:43Okay.
00:04:44Uh...
00:04:45Please have a seat.
00:04:53Okay.
00:04:56How long has he been missing?
00:04:58Almost four days.
00:05:01And how old is he?
00:05:03Twenty-two.
00:05:05Twenty-two.
00:05:07Is it possible that he went to his girlfriend's or a friend's house?
00:05:11No.
00:05:11Without telling us, he wouldn't go anywhere.
00:05:14He would at least call.
00:05:15He was supposed to be back by the end of the week.
00:05:17But when we didn't hear from him, we called.
00:05:19But we didn't know.
00:05:23Please, Mr. Baaz.
00:05:23The police aren't doing anything.
00:05:25And we don't know what to do.
00:05:30I don't think I'm the right man for this.
00:05:33It's written in your ad that you guys look for people.
00:05:36I'll look for them.
00:05:37But only for the money you pay them.
00:05:39Yes, we'll pay.
00:05:41Whatever it takes to find Khalid.
00:05:43Please, Mr. Baaz.
00:05:45Khalid is a very good boy.
00:05:47Without telling us, he wouldn't go anywhere.
00:05:49Something must have gone wrong with him.
00:05:53Look, I'm sorry, but I really want to help.
00:05:57But I'm not the right man for this.
00:05:59Why don't you talk to the police again?
00:06:05Let's go, Aina.
00:06:15Is he your son?
00:06:18Yes.
00:06:23Then you can understand what it's like to lose your children.
00:06:32Forget it, Aina.
00:06:34Let's look for someone better.
00:06:37Okay, fine.
00:06:41Wait.
00:06:42I'll have to think about it.
00:06:45I'll come to your house.
00:06:463712, Kenwood Avenue.
00:06:50Thank you, Mr. Baaz.
00:07:043712, Kenwood Avenue.
00:07:21Mr. Baaz.
00:07:26The police are here.
00:07:28What?
00:07:28You said the police wouldn't come.
00:07:31He has sent someone to follow him for a week to make a report.
00:07:37Please come in.
00:07:42And...
00:07:45When was the last time you spoke to your son?
00:07:49On Thursday night. He was supposed to be here by the end of the week.
00:07:52Maybe he met a girl there and went to the Atlantic City with his friends.
00:07:58No, he didn't go anywhere without informing us.
00:08:01He used to talk to us every night.
00:08:04We tried to call him, but we couldn't reach him.
00:08:07When we went to the hostel last night, his friend told us that he wasn't at home the whole week.
00:08:14He never used to do this. He never went anywhere without informing us.
00:08:19He's an adult by law. What difference does it make?
00:08:23He's free to do whatever he wants.
00:08:25What are you saying? He's been missing for more than 72 hours.
00:08:28Who is he? Do you know him?
00:08:29Hello, Jimmy.
00:08:31Jimmy Buzz. I'm his...
00:08:34The Turner.
00:08:36I'm here on his orders. I'm Turner's private investigator.
00:08:39I don't think you can take such a case.
00:08:42I've already taken one.
00:08:44Now, both of you go and try to find that kid.
00:08:47That kid is 22 years old.
00:08:49Do you want us to keep looking for college kids who have left home to party?
00:08:54Look, we've already told you. He doesn't do this.
00:08:58Look, Elvis.
00:09:00If he's really missing,
00:09:03at least you can find an APB.
00:09:06Okay, Jimmy. I'll try.
00:09:09Come on, Amir. I'm taking this picture.
00:09:12I'm taking this picture.
00:09:26Will you help us?
00:09:35I'm sorry to ask, but...
00:09:38Are you his real parents?
00:09:40No, we're not.
00:09:43We adopted him 10 years ago.
00:09:46He was a 12-year-old Afghan naughty boy.
00:09:50Maybe he met his parents during this time.
00:09:55Or his parents met him.
00:09:58He's dead.
00:10:01He said his parents died in the war. That's all.
00:10:06Can I see his room?
00:10:10Yes.
00:10:17He was a lovely boy.
00:10:20He kept his room very clean.
00:10:23He was a good student.
00:10:25He was a good student.
00:10:38He came first in science fair in high school.
00:10:42This is the Quran. He's a Muslim.
00:10:45We wanted him to follow his religion.
00:11:12Did he go to the mosque?
00:11:15Or somewhere else after school?
00:11:18No, we don't know. He was very self-restrained.
00:11:21Did he have a friend to spend time with?
00:11:27He was very shy.
00:11:32So the last person to see Khalid was his college roommate?
00:11:37Yes.
00:11:38Where does he live?
00:12:04I'm working on the project.
00:12:06You take care of it. I can't do it.
00:12:09Who are you? I didn't recognize you.
00:12:11Does Khalid live here?
00:12:13Yes.
00:12:15His parents sent me to find him.
00:12:18Hasn't he come yet?
00:12:21Can I come in?
00:12:23Yes, come in.
00:12:25I'll talk to you later. There's someone in the room.
00:12:28Okay, ladies and gentlemen.
00:12:30Amanda, you always argue. It's okay.
00:12:33I'll talk to you later. I promise. I'll see you soon.
00:12:37When was the last time you saw Khalid?
00:12:40I think it was last Thursday.
00:12:43Before class started.
00:12:45Did he say where he was going?
00:12:48He used to go to his parents' house.
00:12:51I don't know anything else.
00:12:53Does he have a friend?
00:12:55Or is there a place he often visits?
00:12:58I've never seen him around the school.
00:13:02He studies pharmacology. It's a difficult subject.
00:13:04He used to study all the time.
00:13:07He never went out.
00:13:09He used to go to the library.
00:13:12I think he used to study in Hookah Lounge.
00:13:15Hookah Lounge? Do you know where it is?
00:13:18No.
00:13:20It's in Clinton. I'm sure it's there.
00:13:23Clinton?
00:13:25Yes. That's all I know.
00:13:28Can I see his room?
00:13:31Yes, sure. Come, I'll show you.
00:13:34He was always clean.
00:13:37He kept everything clean.
00:13:41You can go.
00:14:35CLINTON
00:14:37CLINTON
00:15:01Looks like you were about to leave a long time ago.
00:15:05To be honest, I don't know.
00:15:08Do one thing.
00:15:10Call me.
00:15:12If you see him or hear anything about him.
00:15:14Sure.
00:15:16I hope I find him.
00:15:34CLINTON
00:15:54Hi.
00:15:56Can I help you?
00:15:58Yes.
00:16:00Do you know this boy?
00:16:04CLINTON
00:16:20I'm not a cop.
00:16:22I'm a private detective.
00:16:24His family told me to find him.
00:16:26He's missing since Thursday.
00:16:31I know Khalid.
00:16:32He comes here a lot for his studies.
00:16:36When was the last time you saw him?
00:16:39He came here on Wednesday night.
00:16:42Was he alone?
00:16:45He's always alone.
00:16:47He comes here, sits by the window, and studies.
00:16:51He drinks Uggah and his mint tea.
00:16:54Did you notice anything strange about him that night?
00:16:58Did you notice anything strange about his behavior?
00:17:01I just remembered.
00:17:03He left in a hurry that night.
00:17:05I was at the bar, preparing a hookah for a customer.
00:17:08When I saw him, Khalid was running out the door.
00:17:11He had left the money on the table.
00:17:13Why did you find that strange?
00:17:15Because Khalid is a very good boy.
00:17:18He always asks for a bill.
00:17:20And he never leaves without saying goodnight.
00:17:23I thought he didn't care about time.
00:17:25And he must be in a hurry.
00:17:26Or maybe he's running away from someone.
00:17:29I don't know.
00:17:31But I can't think why that happened.
00:17:34Can you tell me anything else about Khalid?
00:17:39I wish I could help you more.
00:17:42Do you know he's from Afghanistan?
00:17:48Have you ever had hookah before?
00:17:51No, no, no.
00:17:53I like real things.
00:17:55Come.
00:17:57Drink with me.
00:18:08He never told me.
00:18:10But I knew.
00:18:12How did you know?
00:18:14Because I know those eyes.
00:18:16Those eyes belong to someone who comes back from hell.
00:18:19And the war in Afghanistan is no less than hell.
00:18:22I'm from Afghanistan.
00:18:24So I was one of those who fought with the Americans.
00:18:27And fought with the Taliban.
00:18:29Most of us who fought with the Americans.
00:18:32We were given a special place.
00:18:34And that's how I came to this country.
00:18:36Fortunately.
00:18:38I came out before the situation got worse.
00:18:40I think Khalid wasn't that lucky.
00:18:42Still.
00:18:44He used to come here every week.
00:18:46I thought I had some connection with his roots.
00:18:54This is my card.
00:18:56Call me if you find out anything.
00:18:58Or if you remember anything, Mr...
00:19:00Abdul Nafi.
00:19:02Thank you, Abdul.
00:19:24Hello.
00:19:26Jimmy.
00:19:28Richard here.
00:19:30I found something. You should see it.
00:19:32Did you find Khalid?
00:19:34No.
00:19:36But it could be about him.
00:19:38Okay. Send me the address.
00:19:40I'm on my way.
00:19:44We got a call a while ago.
00:19:46A fisherman found a dead body.
00:19:48It looks like the body was found a week ago.
00:19:50It looks like the body was found a week ago.
00:19:53We found the girl's food truck at the top floor.
00:19:56It looks like the job is done.
00:20:00Oh, my God. What is this?
00:20:03Someone wrote a number on it.
00:20:05His name is Mansoor Sheikh.
00:20:07He's Afghani.
00:20:09He came here about eight years ago.
00:20:11Do you know how it got connected?
00:20:13No, I don't.
00:20:15The missing child, Khalid, disappeared at the same time.
00:20:17The missing child, Khalid, disappeared at the same time.
00:20:19It's possible that whoever did this,
00:20:21It's possible that whoever did this,
00:20:23Khalid is with him.
00:20:25I thought I'd let you know.
00:20:27I thought I'd let you know.
00:20:29Did anyone see anything?
00:20:31Not yet. We're looking for him.
00:20:33Not yet. We're looking for him.
00:20:37But he gives them a chance
00:20:39But he gives them a chance
00:20:41when all they can see is fear.
00:20:44when all they can see is fear.
00:20:46What does he mean?
00:20:48Who knows?
00:20:50One Muslim is killed
00:20:52and the other is missing.
00:20:54It looks like a Muslim killer.
00:21:02Let me see.
00:21:12There are no wounds or marks on the head.
00:21:15There are no wounds or marks on the head.
00:21:17There are no fingerprints on the wrist.
00:21:19Okay.
00:21:22There's a needle wound on his neck.
00:21:25The killer took his eyes out with this spoon.
00:21:28What is he doing here?
00:21:30I called him here.
00:21:32This is a crime scene. He can't be here.
00:21:34I know.
00:21:36I just thought I'd deal with this case.
00:21:38He's a top-notch detective.
00:21:40We need someone like him.
00:21:42We need someone like him.
00:21:43What if the captain comes here?
00:21:45Then we'll be in trouble.
00:21:47You know that, right?
00:21:49Send him away.
00:21:52I think I should go.
00:21:54I'll drop you off.
00:21:56I'll let you know if I find anything.
00:21:59Thank you, Elvis.
00:22:01Jimmy.
00:22:03I want you to know
00:22:06that we tried hard to find him.
00:22:08Maybe.
00:22:12Maybe.
00:22:16We did everything we could.
00:22:19What's going on there?
00:22:21Did you find the killer?
00:22:23How is he?
00:22:25Did you find anything?
00:22:38No.
00:23:08I'm sorry.
00:23:09I'm sorry.
00:23:40I...
00:23:42I want to tell you that...
00:23:44What's going on there?
00:23:46What's going on?
00:23:48Imam?
00:23:53Imam?
00:23:58So, it's you.
00:24:01No, no, no.
00:24:03Have mercy.
00:24:05I...
00:24:07I...
00:24:09I...
00:24:10I'm apologizing to God.
00:24:12Please, forgive me.
00:24:29Hello?
00:24:31Baaz.
00:24:33It's me.
00:24:35Another man has died.
00:24:37Where are you?
00:24:39I'm on my way to the press.
00:24:41I can't do this, Jimmy.
00:24:43It's a serious matter.
00:24:45The press is everywhere.
00:24:47They're calling him a Muslim killer.
00:24:49Meet me in 30 minutes
00:24:51at Brentford and Castle.
00:24:53I need to tell you something.
00:24:56Okay.
00:25:01The police have reported
00:25:03that another man has been killed this morning.
00:25:05His name is Sameer Ashan.
00:25:07He's 52 years old.
00:25:09The police have also reported
00:25:11that he's another Muslim man
00:25:13who has been killed recently.
00:25:15A young Muslim man is also missing.
00:25:19Mr. Baaz, is this true?
00:25:21Khalid is dead?
00:25:23No, I can't say that.
00:25:25The police are saying
00:25:27that Khalid was one of the victims.
00:25:29I don't know why they're saying that.
00:25:31But we haven't found Khalid yet.
00:25:33And that's a good thing.
00:25:35The whole of New Jersey is looking for him.
00:25:36And I'm going to meet Detective Elvis right now.
00:25:38Okay, listen.
00:25:40Everything will be fine.
00:25:42We'll find Khalid, okay?
00:25:44I'll find Khalid, okay?
00:25:46I'll find him.
00:25:53Hi.
00:25:55Yes, okay.
00:25:57Have this.
00:25:59Would you like something?
00:26:01Yes, one black coffee
00:26:03and whatever it is.
00:26:05No, I don't want this.
00:26:07So, who found out about the second murder
00:26:09and the child?
00:26:11Maybe you did.
00:26:13Waiter.
00:26:15Waiter.
00:26:17Yes, order.
00:26:19Okay, both of you calm down.
00:26:21Aamir, I told you
00:26:23that Jimmy is trustworthy.
00:26:25I don't understand
00:26:27why we're wasting so much time on him
00:26:29when we have to find the killer.
00:26:31This is called professional courtesy.
00:26:32I don't know what he has
00:26:35but you've changed
00:26:37since you met him.
00:26:39I'm at the car.
00:26:41I need to make a few calls.
00:26:43What do I do?
00:26:45He's a good boy.
00:26:47Yes, I understand.
00:26:49What's his problem?
00:26:51I know he's a little stubborn
00:26:53but he's a good cop.
00:26:55Look, when all this was happening
00:26:57a lot of people were getting killed
00:26:59for no reason.
00:27:00I think you'll understand.
00:27:02Okay, okay.
00:27:04What did you find?
00:27:06His name is Sameer Ashaan.
00:27:08He's a native of Afghanistan.
00:27:10When his wife went to the kitchen
00:27:12someone followed her upstairs.
00:27:14He injected something in her neck
00:27:16and she fainted.
00:27:18When she regained consciousness
00:27:20he told her everything.
00:27:22Don't be the cause of your own destruction.
00:27:25Anyway,
00:27:27there's a pattern.
00:27:28Sameer's neck has the same wound.
00:27:30We found the same pattern
00:27:32on the first victim.
00:27:34The wound had the same mark.
00:27:36Vacuronium bromide.
00:27:38Can you explain?
00:27:40Let's order something else.
00:27:42Vacuronium bromide
00:27:44is used on prisoners
00:27:46to paralyze them.
00:27:48Don't you think it's strange, Jimmy?
00:27:50I can tell you
00:27:52that this man felt ashamed
00:27:54when his eyes were broken.
00:27:56Who could have done this?
00:27:58The pharmacy stopped
00:28:00selling it to the common people.
00:28:02There are some jails and pharmacies
00:28:04where the stock is still there.
00:28:06I've called my people.
00:28:08I'll inform you as soon as I find out.
00:28:10Okay.
00:28:12I'll look into it.
00:28:14Who did you find?
00:28:16His name is John Doyle.
00:28:18He lives with a big gang.
00:28:20I found out he lives in Jersey City
00:28:22in Heathens.
00:28:24They go there to cook.
00:28:26Matt and John are top chefs.
00:28:28They belong to the same gang.
00:28:30Those bandits?
00:28:32Yes.
00:28:34Did you work with them?
00:28:36Yes, but that was a long time ago.
00:28:39Everyone says he killed two Muslims.
00:28:41Then he was deported for 10 years.
00:28:43He came back two weeks ago.
00:28:45That's all I know.
00:28:47Last week,
00:28:49he didn't even meet his parole officer.
00:28:53So you think he's the same man?
00:28:55Foreigners don't like him.
00:28:56He was missing when he was murdered.
00:28:58He knows the pharmacy.
00:29:00Isn't that enough?
00:29:04But why is he doing all this?
00:29:06He's writing on the wall.
00:29:08Why didn't he kill that woman?
00:29:10And why only an Afghan man?
00:29:12Why not a Farsi?
00:29:14Or a Palestinian?
00:29:16Because he's crazy.
00:29:18He hates Afghans.
00:29:20Look, I don't know.
00:29:22That's all I know.
00:29:23Amir and I are going to investigate this case.
00:29:26I'll let you know.
00:29:28Okay.
00:29:30I'll look into it.
00:29:33We'll find him.
00:29:54Only members are allowed.
00:29:57I'm here to see Miguel.
00:30:02You've come to the wrong place.
00:30:04There's no Miguel here.
00:30:12I don't want any trouble.
00:30:14It's too late now.
00:30:17You're in trouble.
00:30:18Tell Miguel Jimmy Bass is here.
00:30:20I want to see him.
00:30:23Helasio!
00:30:48Jimmy.
00:31:12Jimmy Bass.
00:31:16How long has it been, Jimmy?
00:31:18Since I lost my badge.
00:31:20That's right.
00:31:24I remember that.
00:31:35What is it, Jimmy?
00:31:39What did you think?
00:31:41If you lose your son, I'll have mercy on you?
00:31:44How could you think that?
00:31:48But you'll have to come to my area.
00:31:52I've got some information.
00:31:54It might be useful to you.
00:31:56Keep talking.
00:31:58I'm looking for a missing child.
00:32:00What do you want me to do?
00:32:03Because there's a murderer.
00:32:05And he's targeting Muslims.
00:32:07If it's straight to the point, it'll be right.
00:32:09And that murderer could be John Doyle.
00:32:11Who the hell is John Doyle?
00:32:13He cooks for the Haitians.
00:32:15The one who killed your two men.
00:32:16The one who killed your two men.
00:32:24He came out of jail and went missing.
00:32:35What do you want from me, Jimmy?
00:32:37His address.
00:32:39So you want his address.
00:32:41And why should I give you his address,
00:32:43when I can deal with him myself?
00:32:44Maybe I can get him out of jail.
00:32:47Just stop doing drugs.
00:32:49There's no need to do anything else.
00:32:53I'll think about it.
00:32:56Goodbye.
00:33:04Hey, Jimmy.
00:33:06What happened to your beautiful wife, my friend?
00:33:09Susan Parker.
00:33:1131 Clinton Avenue.
00:33:15Susan Parker, huh?
00:33:24Hello!
00:33:25Stop!
00:33:31Miguel told me to find an empty house on the road.
00:33:36He also told me not to disappoint him.
00:33:45Clinton Street.
00:34:12Is it confirmed?
00:34:14No, but it's as big as the Meth House.
00:34:17Well, let's go and see.
00:34:19Okay, we'll go and see.
00:34:21You stay here.
00:34:23If anything happens, we'll call you in.
00:34:25Elvis, what the hell is this?
00:34:27It's wrong to go there without me.
00:34:29Didn't you hear?
00:34:31He's put the whole Meth House at stake.
00:34:33I've caught people without you, too.
00:34:35Okay?
00:34:37So don't worry about me.
00:34:39Let's go.
00:34:42Hmm.
00:34:44Okay, fine.
00:34:46We'll go from behind and you from the front.
00:34:48Remember, you won't shoot anyone.
00:34:50It could be a mistake.
00:34:52This isn't a game.
00:35:11Let's go.
00:35:41Wake up, darling.
00:35:43Wake up.
00:35:46Hey, I want to see you.
00:35:49Wake up and give me your medicine.
00:35:51Wake up.
00:35:53Wake up.
00:35:55Wake up.
00:35:57Wake up.
00:35:59Wake up.
00:36:01Wake up.
00:36:03Wake up.
00:36:05Wake up.
00:36:07Wake up.
00:36:09Wake up.
00:36:11Wake up.
00:36:13Wake up.
00:36:17Come on, let's stop breathing.
00:36:19No.
00:36:22Don't give me the injection.
00:36:24Just a little bit.
00:36:26Just a little bit more.
00:36:30No.
00:36:32Just a little bit.
00:36:34Please.
00:36:36Drop the injection.
00:36:38Put your hands up.
00:36:39Turn around, slowly.
00:36:43Is he the only one here?
00:36:45Maybe.
00:36:47Did you kill those two Muslims?
00:36:49I've killed many Muslim men.
00:36:52Khalid, is he here?
00:36:54Maybe.
00:36:56Where is Khalid?
00:36:58Yes, he's here.
00:37:00A 22-year-old boy.
00:37:02Yes, I found him.
00:37:09Khalid.
00:37:16Please, don't try to move.
00:37:23Khalid.
00:37:28Khalid.
00:37:30Don't you know who Khalid is?
00:37:40A suspicious person has been shot here by the police.
00:37:45Looks like they've looted the pharmacy.
00:37:48There's a lot of pharmaceuticals in the house.
00:37:51Any news of Khalid?
00:37:53No, nothing yet.
00:37:55I'll let you know as soon as I find out anything.
00:37:58Go home and rest.
00:38:00You look tired.
00:38:02I'll need you in the morning.
00:38:04To report on what happened.
00:38:06Jimmy.
00:38:07Jimmy.
00:38:09You did the right thing.
00:38:21I want you to know.
00:38:23We tried our best to find him.
00:38:31He's your son.
00:38:38Then you can understand the pain of losing a son.
00:38:51Okay, Jimmy.
00:38:53I'll let you know as soon as I find out anything.
00:38:55Is that all?
00:38:57Yes, we found our man.
00:38:59Really?
00:39:01You said it yourself.
00:39:03John has agreed to kill a Muslim man.
00:39:05I also said that he was playing with us.
00:39:08He's the one we were looking for.
00:39:10You know he didn't need to be shot.
00:39:13Yes, I know.
00:39:15You're right.
00:39:17We'll have time to think until the moon rises.
00:39:35You said I could call you if I remembered anything.
00:39:38I did.
00:39:40I told you I was in Afghanistan at the beginning of the war.
00:39:44Afghanistan was divided according to its leaders.
00:39:48Then the Taliban came.
00:39:50And they spread quickly throughout the country.
00:39:53The Taliban took control of most of the villages.
00:39:56They took control of most of the villages.
00:39:59They took control of most of the villages.
00:40:02They took control of most of the villages.
00:40:04They broke strict Muslim law.
00:40:06And if an Afghan was caught breaking any of their laws,
00:40:10they would be beaten and killed.
00:40:12And the Taliban were worse than their leaders.
00:40:18Anyway, when I was in the Afghan army,
00:40:21my division was sent to a remote army.
00:40:25Along with the Taliban.
00:40:27And in this village,
00:40:29whoever you call him, he's the local police chief.
00:40:30I met these two men here.
00:40:43Were they in the same group?
00:40:46Is this a coincidence?
00:40:49Maybe.
00:40:52But he wasn't a good man.
00:40:54Have you heard of child abuse?
00:40:57Child abuse?
00:40:58I'm ashamed to say this, but this is what happens in Afghanistan.
00:41:02The most powerful men do this.
00:41:05The more powerful you are, the more child abuse you will have.
00:41:11Child abuse means young boys, usually between the ages of 12 and 20.
00:41:17They are either bought or kidnapped by their parents.
00:41:21And their owners tell them to dress like girls.
00:41:25Usually like a prostitute.
00:41:29So did they have sex with those boys?
00:41:35Yes.
00:41:38I was invited to dinner.
00:41:40There was a local police officer with his children.
00:41:43They were dancing for the soldiers.
00:41:45And this man was raping them again and again.
00:41:48I couldn't do anything, so I left.
00:41:51I wish I had the courage to kill those demons.
00:41:54But we were in the war.
00:41:55In the war against the Taliban, every man had to fight.
00:42:03Do you understand any of this?
00:42:06But he gives them time for that day when all they can see is fear.
00:42:12Or, don't be the cause of your own destruction.
00:42:15Don't be yourself.
00:42:17Yes, this is from the Quran.
00:42:22What was the name of that city?
00:42:25Darzab.
00:42:27Darzab.
00:42:55That's a nice name.
00:43:17Hello Elvis. Sorry I called you so early.
00:43:20Can you come here?
00:43:22I've found something.
00:43:23I want you to look at this.
00:43:29Come in. It's open.
00:43:37Hey Jimmy.
00:43:39Is everything okay?
00:43:41Want some coffee?
00:43:43There's coffee inside and whiskey on the table.
00:43:45You can have whatever you want.
00:43:47Don't take it the wrong way.
00:43:49I'm not in a bad place right now.
00:43:51He gave Amir and me a two-week leave.
00:43:55Oh no.
00:43:57It's not a big deal.
00:43:59It's a paid leave.
00:44:01I didn't mean that.
00:44:03We didn't find that man.
00:44:05Look Jimmy.
00:44:07I know you want to find him.
00:44:09I want to do the same.
00:44:11But you know it's not easy to find him.
00:44:17I didn't mean that.
00:44:19It's just that we found that man.
00:44:23Look here.
00:44:25I have something to show you.
00:44:27Here.
00:44:29Ron Burns.
00:44:31Missing.
00:44:33December 1, 2009.
00:44:35Here.
00:44:37Eric Dunbar.
00:44:399 years old.
00:44:41Victor Hughes.
00:44:43Missing.
00:44:45June 20, 2009.
00:44:47What's going on here, Jimmy?
00:44:49Johnny Baaz. Missing.
00:44:51Since 2008.
00:44:57What's going on here, Jimmy?
00:44:59You've been doing this for years.
00:45:03Have you ever heard of kidnapping?
00:45:05Kidnapping?
00:45:07Look, Jimmy.
00:45:09I'll pick you up tomorrow morning.
00:45:11I'll take you to Dr. Callen.
00:45:13He's started his own practice.
00:45:15Where they kidnap boys.
00:45:17They dress them up like women.
00:45:19And use them for sex.
00:45:21What are you talking about, Jimmy?
00:45:23Have you ever heard of it?
00:45:25No.
00:45:27It's a special visa program in Afghanistan.
00:45:29The Afghan soldiers who fight against the Taliban.
00:45:31So that they can come here whenever they want.
00:45:33Don't talk nonsense, Jimmy.
00:45:35Listen to me.
00:45:37It's possible that some soldiers came here on that special visa.
00:45:39And they continued their kidnapping.
00:45:41You're just exaggerating, Jimmy.
00:45:43And if I say that the two people who were killed
00:45:45were in the same group.
00:45:47Where their soldiers
00:45:49used to kidnap for fun.
00:46:01Is this true?
00:46:03Yes.
00:46:05Do you still have any contact there?
00:46:07I've visited Iraq twice, so yes.
00:46:09Okay, I want you to find out
00:46:11which local militia group
00:46:13used to work with the Americans in Darzab.
00:46:15In 2007.
00:46:17And who got that special visa.
00:46:21And they're both from the same city, right?
00:46:23Yes.
00:46:25What does Khalid have to do with all this?
00:46:27I don't know.
00:46:29I don't know.
00:46:31Did you get any information about that?
00:46:33About the vacuum bromide?
00:46:35Not yet.
00:46:37Aamir was looking into that case.
00:46:39I'll call the office today.
00:46:41I'll see if I can find out anything.
00:46:43Okay. Thank you, Elvis.
00:46:45Come, I'll drop you outside.
00:46:47And where are you going?
00:46:49I'm going to see if I can find out anything.
00:46:59Jimmy.
00:47:01I didn't forgive myself
00:47:03because I couldn't find Johnny.
00:47:05I know.
00:47:07I didn't either.
00:47:19What are you looking for?
00:47:21What is this?
00:47:31Can I take this with me?
00:47:33Of course.
00:47:35Which city was Khalid from in Afghanistan?
00:47:37I don't remember.
00:47:39You must have it in your adoption papers.
00:47:41Maybe.
00:47:53It says that
00:47:55he was found in a town called...
00:47:57Darzab?
00:47:59Yes.
00:48:01That's what it says.
00:48:07Do you think
00:48:09his relatives took him there?
00:48:23Anna.
00:48:25Where is your husband now?
00:48:27In our pharmacy.
00:48:29Why?
00:48:31What happened?
00:48:33Nothing.
00:48:35I'm trying to connect the wires.
00:48:37Do you know what happened to Khalid?
00:48:39I have to go.
00:48:43Do you think he's still alive?
00:48:45Tell me.
00:48:49I think he's alive.
00:48:51And I'll do everything
00:48:53I can.
00:49:19Mr. Baaz.
00:49:21Any word on Khalid?
00:49:23Not yet.
00:49:25Can I talk to you?
00:49:27Sure.
00:49:33What's this?
00:49:35Do you know it's vacuronium bromide?
00:49:37Yes, of course.
00:49:39Do you sell it in your shop?
00:49:41No.
00:49:43I mean, I don't sell it anymore.
00:49:45What do you mean?
00:49:47When I bought the pharmacy a few years ago,
00:49:49there was a batch left in the inventory.
00:49:51But when I checked,
00:49:53I never found it.
00:49:55I must have made a mistake.
00:49:57Why are you asking?
00:49:59I told the police.
00:50:01Which police?
00:50:03You must know
00:50:05Police Officer Amzad.
00:50:07Officer Amzad came here
00:50:09to ask about the vacuronium.
00:50:11When did this happen?
00:50:13Yesterday.
00:50:15He said he's investigating
00:50:17some other case.
00:50:19What does this have to do with Khalid?
00:50:21I have to go.
00:50:25Mr. Baaz, wait.
00:50:27What's going on?
00:50:31What about Khalid?
00:50:35Hey, Jimmy.
00:50:37What about those names?
00:50:39If you let me finish, I'll tell you.
00:50:41I found a friend's number in Marine, Jimmy.
00:50:43His name is Brian O'Connell.
00:50:45He's been to Afghanistan twice.
00:50:47During one of those trips,
00:50:49his posting was near Darjav city.
00:50:51We must meet him.
00:50:53I'm on my way.
00:50:55Hey, Elvis.
00:50:57Did you talk to Aamir yesterday?
00:50:59No. Why?
00:51:01Just like that.
00:51:03Okay. I'll see you soon.
00:51:13You look just like before.
00:51:15Yes. Just like before.
00:51:17What do you want?
00:51:19Are you Surgeon Brian O'Connell?
00:51:25Yes. Who are you?
00:51:27I'm Detective Elvis.
00:51:29And this is my partner.
00:51:31Detective Baaz.
00:51:33We want to ask you some questions.
00:51:48Did you get hurt badly?
00:51:50Yes. A car bomb.
00:51:52We blew up the doors.
00:51:54My men were killed.
00:51:56There were a lot of explosions.
00:51:58But nothing happened.
00:52:00I think there was no loss.
00:52:04Why are you wasting my time?
00:52:06What do you want?
00:52:08Tell me.
00:52:10Were you stationed in Darjav city
00:52:12in 2005 and 2006?
00:52:14I was stationed in a lot of places.
00:52:16How do you know you were stationed there?
00:52:18Maybe I was there.
00:52:20Did you work with the local militia?
00:52:22Yes.
00:52:24I did.
00:52:26Do you know them?
00:52:30I don't know.
00:52:32I can't say.
00:52:34I try not to think about those days.
00:52:36Look carefully.
00:52:38They were killed.
00:52:40Maybe you can help us.
00:52:42Killed?
00:52:44Sure.
00:52:46Let's play a game.
00:52:48Let's see who wins.
00:52:50Come on, Rosie.
00:52:52What's the name of the puzzle?
00:52:56Come on, Rosie.
00:52:58Solve the puzzle.
00:53:04Correct.
00:53:06You have won 2000 points.
00:53:12Is he Aamir?
00:53:14No.
00:53:16Yes.
00:53:18Aamir Amzad.
00:53:20But he lied to me.
00:53:22Yes, he lied to you.
00:53:26Who else got a visa from here?
00:53:28The only one alive
00:53:30is the one who got the visa.
00:53:32Hadif Shehzad.
00:53:34He is with Aamir.
00:53:38Do you want anything else?
00:53:40Yes.
00:53:42Do you know this kid?
00:53:44He is from the same city.
00:53:56Look, I have answered
00:53:58all your questions.
00:54:00Now leave.
00:54:02Tell me about the kidnapping.
00:54:04What happens to those kids?
00:54:12I don't know.
00:54:18You don't know
00:54:20how I am going through every day.
00:54:24I knew
00:54:26what he was doing with those kids.
00:54:28He will kidnap them
00:54:30from the neighboring villages.
00:54:34He used to kidnap them from their families.
00:54:38He will make them look like girls.
00:54:40He used to play with them.
00:54:44My commanders knew
00:54:46that I had informed them.
00:54:48I sent a report.
00:54:50I sent many reports.
00:54:52They asked me to keep my mouth shut.
00:54:54They said that it was part of their tradition.
00:54:56We had to respect them.
00:55:00But I knew
00:55:02that this was the truth.
00:55:04They could have done anything
00:55:06in the war against the Taliban.
00:55:08Even if it meant
00:55:10supporting the pedophiles.
00:55:12Amir had the kid.
00:55:16And yes,
00:55:18I signed all the special visas.
00:55:20This was part of the deal.
00:55:22They helped us fight the Taliban.
00:55:24We won the war.
00:55:26They got the visa.
00:55:30Oh God!
00:55:32Yes.
00:55:34May God save America.
00:55:38We are taking this.
00:55:42Let's go, Elvis.
00:55:52Elvis, we are taking this.
00:55:54I am driving.
00:55:56Listen, I need an address.
00:55:58I know I am on leave.
00:56:00Send me the address of Hadi Shehzad.
00:56:08Here I am.
00:56:38He was 12 years old.
00:56:40Do you know where the
00:56:42unknown vacuolonium bromide came from?
00:56:44From his home pharmacy.
00:56:46No, I don't know.
00:56:48Didn't your friend tell you?
00:56:50He went there yesterday to ask about it.
00:56:52Do you think he has already reached Amir?
00:56:54Maybe.
00:56:56Or maybe Amir has gone to the kid.
00:56:58One minute.
00:57:00Yes, tell me.
00:57:02Yes.
00:57:04Yes, okay.
00:57:06Thanks, Lou.
00:57:08Hadi Shehzad has a garage on Smith Street.
00:57:10I know.
00:57:12What do you know about Amir, Elvis?
00:57:14Not much.
00:57:16He was in Tainat for 5 years.
00:57:18He came back in 2014.
00:57:20He came to this country in 2008.
00:57:22And that year, my son Jimmy also went missing.
00:57:24And year after year,
00:57:26more boys went missing.
00:57:28This is just a guess, Jimmy.
00:57:30I don't know.
00:57:32My son was only 10 years old.
00:57:34He must have changed after he came here.
00:57:36Put the car aside.
00:57:38Well, we'll find out.
00:58:04I think he's not here.
00:58:12We should go, Jimmy.
00:58:24What is this, Jimmy?
00:58:26What are you doing?
00:58:28He's a police officer.
00:58:30Don't do this.
00:58:32I have to know, Elvis.
00:58:34I have to know.
00:58:36I understand.
00:58:38I want to stay away from him.
00:58:40I'm standing near the car.
00:58:42Go to hell.
00:59:02Go to hell.
00:59:32Go to hell.
01:00:02Elvis!
01:00:04Elvis!
01:00:06Did you find anything?
01:00:08He's a kid.
01:00:10He's alive and breathing.
01:00:12Call 911.
01:00:14We have to take him to the doctor.
01:00:16Where are you going?
01:00:18I'm going to the garage.
01:00:20Wait.
01:00:22Listen to me, Jimmy.
01:00:24I have to see him properly.
01:00:26Jimmy!
01:00:28Come back!
01:00:30Come back!
01:01:00Eddie!
01:01:16Eddie!
01:01:26Eddie!
01:01:30Eddie!
01:01:36Eddie!
01:02:00Eddie!
01:02:14What are you doing?
01:02:22Listen, Khalid.
01:02:24You can't do this.
01:02:26Do you know who I am?
01:02:28I'm a police officer.
01:02:30You can't mess with me.
01:02:40Okay.
01:02:42Okay.
01:02:44What do you want?
01:02:46I can give you anything.
01:02:50Money?
01:02:52What do you want?
01:02:54Yes, tell me.
01:02:56Can you bring my parents back?
01:03:00Can you take back what you did to me?
01:03:10Of course.
01:03:12I'll do to you what you did to me.
01:03:14No, don't do this.
01:03:24Eddie.
01:03:54Eddie.
01:04:08No.
01:04:10No!
01:04:12No!
01:04:18No!
01:04:24Don't do this.
01:04:30No.
01:04:34I'll kill you.
01:04:38Oh, sir.
01:04:40You're not behaving like a good man.
01:04:42Okay.
01:04:44Forgive me.
01:04:46I'm sorry.
01:04:48I did a wrong thing.
01:04:50What did you say?
01:04:52How many boys have you separated from their parents?
01:04:56I've changed.
01:04:58How many boys have you made a child of?
01:05:00Tell me.
01:05:02I swear, I've suffered.
01:05:04You'll have to believe me.
01:05:06No, I won't.
01:05:08But I assure you,
01:05:10I'll give you the same pain I've suffered.
01:05:14What?
01:05:16What are you going to do now?
01:05:22No, no, no.
01:05:24Don't try to move.
01:05:26I don't want you to die so easily.
01:05:28No, don't do this.
01:05:40I'm sorry.
01:05:42Khalid, stop. Put the knife down.
01:05:44Thank you very much.
01:05:46You have no idea what he did to me.
01:05:48Kill him.
01:05:50He's crazy.
01:05:52Khalid, that's enough.
01:05:54We've found the child.
01:05:56We found him at his house.
01:05:58He's been missing for a long time.
01:06:00We've been looking for him.
01:06:02You won't understand.
01:06:04I was 10 years old.
01:06:06I know, Khalid.
01:06:08I know the whole story.
01:06:10Do you know what he does to the child?
01:06:12He cuts his throat.
01:06:14Shoot him.
01:06:16Khalid, stop.
01:06:18Stop, Khalid.
01:06:20Or I'll shoot you.
01:06:22Don't shoot, Elvis.
01:06:24Get out of the way, Jimmy.
01:06:26Khalid, think about your family.
01:06:28They care about you.
01:06:30They want you to come home.
01:06:32Stay away from that boy.
01:06:34The police can get here at any time.
01:06:38It's too late now.
01:06:40It's not too late yet.
01:06:42We'll help you.
01:06:44Put the knife down.
01:06:46You don't know him.
01:06:48I sleep with this fear every night.
01:06:50Khalid, put the knife down.
01:06:52I die every night.
01:06:54Do you understand?
01:06:56I still hear his voice.
01:06:58Dance for me, baby.
01:07:00Dance.
01:07:02I want to end this today.
01:07:04Khalid, get out of the way.
01:07:06Elvis, stop.
01:07:08Khalid, listen to me.
01:07:10He doesn't want to go to jail.
01:07:12If he doesn't want to go to jail,
01:07:14let him rot in jail for the rest of his life.
01:07:16Okay?
01:07:26Johnny was a sweet and innocent boy.
01:07:34What did you just say?
01:07:36Jimmy, no.
01:07:38Your son,
01:07:40Johnny.
01:07:42But he used to cry a lot.
01:07:44Papa.
01:07:46Where's Papa?
01:07:48What the hell are you talking about?
01:07:50Jimmy, no.
01:07:52Jimmy, get out of here.
01:07:54Shut up.
01:07:58He was just like...
01:08:00He was just like...
01:08:06Shut up, Amir.
01:08:08Jimmy, no.
01:08:10That's what he wants.
01:08:12What you said was true.
01:08:14Johnny used to make me very happy.
01:08:16Jimmy, stop.
01:08:22Go to hell.
01:08:30Okay.
01:08:32Alpha to Charlie.
01:08:34He's here.
01:08:38Okay.
01:08:40We're taking him.
01:08:42I'll talk to him.
01:08:44Okay.

01:09:30The boy's body was found under the floor of the house.
01:09:34The forensic team has investigated it.
01:09:40But Johnny was not there.
01:09:46Neither was Aamir.
01:09:50In January 2009.
01:09:56Whatever he did was wrong.
01:10:00A few days later.
01:10:10A few days later.
01:10:21A few days later.

01:10:46Mr. Baaz.
01:10:47Hi.
01:10:49Do you have some time?
01:10:53Of course.
01:10:54Are you leaving?
01:10:55Yes.
01:10:56I think it would be good to change the atmosphere.
01:11:00Yes.
01:11:03I heard about what happened.
01:11:09I'm with Khalid.
01:11:10I'll help him.
01:11:13I'm glad to hear that.
01:11:24Okay, I should go now.
