00:34You got time for kill allah.
00:36You have to go pay down, Nikolus.
01:09Soleyman?
01:10Salamon.
01:10Good morning.
01:12You go.
01:13Please take me.
01:16Faraquil!
01:17Faraquil!
01:19Bro,
01:22I need you.
01:24I found my other.
02:19Martin Cutter, leave a message.
02:24Sir, Ms. Fazal, I got caught in an ambush on the road to Panjshir, so help me.
02:54A plane has crashed into the World Trade Center this morning.
02:58The United States military has begun strikes against the Taliban regime in Afghanistan.
03:05Afghan women fear for their rights since the Americans announced their intention to leave the country.
03:11The U.S. signed an agreement with the Taliban.
03:13The war is ending after two decades of conflict in Afghanistan.
03:17The embassies in Kabul are closing one by one.
03:19American personnel is being evacuated in emergency.
03:22This is not just about the Afghan people.
03:25It's about us and our security.
03:27The Taliban have surrounded the capital and are threatening to enter the city at any moment.
03:32People are panicking all around Kabul.
03:52I'm here for landing.
03:54Runway insecure.
03:58Landing without lights.
04:00Touchdown in two minutes.
04:16Hi.
04:17Hi.
04:29Hey, look who's here.
04:32Hey.
04:34Good to see you.
04:35Good to see you.
04:37Hey.
04:37Hey.
04:42Did you secure the route?
04:44I spoke with Omar.
04:45He's going to give us a car.
04:48What?
04:49We're not gone.
04:52What do you mean?
04:54Special forces gave us a no-go.
04:56Apparently they have other priorities.
04:59Who's in charge?
05:02Birhoff?
05:06You're joking.
05:09The rules have changed.
05:11Securing the runways turned in a pure mayhem.
05:13Even the Americans were overwhelmed.
05:15Dozens died.
05:17If the Afghan army hadn't intervened, I don't know where we'd be right now.
05:21I'm only asking for five men.
05:22That's it.
05:23No, it's not going to happen.
05:24There's not one single army, including the Bundeswehr, that will engage ground forces in Kabul
05:29or anywhere else in this country.
05:32So, either you fanned for yourselves or you go back to Cologne.
05:35That's it.
05:36Do we at least have access to U.S. area surveillance?
05:39Ask them.
05:40But in case you haven't noticed, the airspace is kind of busy.
05:43I notice it's busy with our planes leaving empty.
05:45Don't take that time with me.
05:48The only reason you're here is because I was ordered to let you in.
05:52If you want to risk your life, be my guest.
05:54But don't expect me to put my man's lives on the line.
05:56General Hassan must be on top of the Taliban kill list.
06:00Okay.
06:01Do you know where he is?
06:02Yes.
06:03Last we heard, he was close to Bamiyan.
06:04And your plan is to search the whole region while he's crawling with the Taliban?
06:08General Hassan was trained and equipped by the BND under my command.
06:12He helped us for many years and he saved many of our soldiers' lives, including mine.
06:18It's our duty to pay our debt to him.
06:19I received a very firm no from Berlin.
06:22No more military or diplomatic personnel will leave the airport.
06:26But I'm not forbidding you to honor your debt.
06:28I'm just telling you that you unfortunately won't have Special Forces support.
06:33Right.
06:37Omar?
06:38Yeah, last night.
06:42We need a car.
06:43Can you come to the airport?
06:46It sounds good.
06:48One or two hours.
06:51Okay.
06:52Keep us posted.
06:53Thanks.
06:54So?
06:56We need to do it without them.
06:58I told you.
07:00I know.
07:04It's gonna be fine.
07:05Okay?
07:09We have to do it without them.
07:11Then, the task of your command is to do it.
07:14Yes.
07:15We have to take the work in the 설cate.
07:29That's a good idea.
07:30My life is on the allowable.
07:31You have to carry someone that's inside us.
07:31The dog has to be on our knees.
07:32Every 我是.
07:33Yes?
07:34Everybody's Wahrse Want.
07:35Well anybody that's on our ownש bias that ports us in on our united states?
07:44No way.
07:44Come on! Come on!
07:46I need to go to the police!
07:49Come on!
07:51Come on!
07:53Come on!
07:56Come on!
07:57Come on!
07:59We don't have to go to the police!
08:01Come on!
08:03Come on!
08:05Come on!
08:07Come on!
08:14Come on!
08:16You're like an arom!
08:19What are you doing?
08:21What are you doing?
08:22You don't want to take a shot!
08:24What are you doing?
08:25What are you doing?
08:26You're like an arom!
08:29Cooflies!
08:31Let you wash your hands!
08:59Mom, no, it's just a slight delay, all right?
09:06The situation is tense, yes, but we are under military protection and nothing can happen to us.
09:13No, no, no, no, I'm not leaving the office, all right?
09:18Listen, I have to go, I have to go, I will call you back.
09:26We've done an initial triage, Mr. Consul.
09:30Gonna have an odd time getting used to that title.
09:32There's a Roman ring to it, but you'll get used to it very soon.
09:37We put people with visas near the tarmac so they can leave as soon as we get clearance to land
09:42planes.
09:43Now we just have to go over the rest of the cases.
09:45Okay, I'm ready, bring them in.
09:47I can do that.
09:48I have to follow security protocol.
09:51No one else can enter these buildings.
09:54I have this for you.
09:56You should wear it.
09:57Okay.
10:16I'm here.
10:20Everything will be fine.
10:22Yeah.
10:24Sure.
10:26Thank you, Colonel.
10:29Please, call me Marco.
10:30Just for the next few days.
10:33Well, there was some protocol once we're back in Italy.
10:37In that case, call me Giovanni.
10:41Shall we go then, Giovanni?
10:43Yeah.
10:45Yeah.
10:57Don't panic.
10:59I will review every single case.
11:01All right?
11:02All right.
11:08Open the gate.
11:12Ready?
11:13Come on.
11:26Hi.
11:28Hi.
11:44Hi, Omar.
11:45Hi.
11:47Was it hard to get here?
11:48No, no.
11:50Listen, I won't be able to come with you.
11:53I got a visa from the Americans.
11:55If all goes well, my family and I will be evacuated tomorrow.
11:58Why the Americans?
11:59The Germans closed their embassy overnight.
12:02They didn't even contact us.
12:03And then, there was no way of reaching them.
12:08Here.
12:11You can keep my car.
12:12I'm parked 50 meters away, on the other side of the barrier.
12:19Come.
12:21Good luck.
12:22You too.
12:23Come.
12:31We've beefed up security outside the building, so if the Taliban try to attack us, we can
12:36slow them down.
12:37But if they launch a large-scale assault, though, we're done.
12:42And I'm not even talking about the scenario where ISIS decides to attack right in front
12:46of the embassy.
12:47How many people are still inside?
12:4981, including children.
12:52Do you have any medical emergencies?
12:54Not inside the embassy.
12:55I have no idea what the people outside.
12:57People outside your embassy are legally under the authority of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.
13:01Not that they claim military and political authority over the country.
13:05It's more complicated than that.
13:07People in front of the embassy with French passports are effectively protected by the French
13:12Republic.
13:13Listen.
13:14I suggest we leave these solities for later.
13:17Our priority is to evacuate the embassy.
13:20It's impossible to deploy global forces in Kabul, so I don't see any other option but
13:24by air.
13:25And for that, we need US Air Force support.
13:28I spoke with General Ferguson, and we'll be sending you a helicopter unit later today.
13:32It will coordinate with you, provided the Taliban don't decide otherwise.
13:36We've established contact with Haqqani's emissaries to guarantee the evacuation.
13:41And what about the Afghans waiting outside?
13:44Well, for now, unfortunately, there's nothing we can do.
13:49We can't let people in if we aren't sure we can evacuate them.
13:55Good luck, gentlemen.
13:58Colonel.
14:01Okay, get back to us.
14:10Guys, that's it for now.
14:16Take care.
14:25Bye.
14:32What's the matter?
14:32Come on in.
14:33Come on in.
14:34Come on in.
14:37Come on in.
14:38We'll turn it off.
14:40Come on.
14:41Come on in.
14:41Let's go.
14:41Oh, my God.
14:45I'll keep going.
14:47Where are you going?
14:49You have to go to your mother.
14:52You are in your mother.
14:54Where are you?
14:56In his father.
15:00Go.
15:01Go.
15:03Go.
15:04Go.
15:06You are in your house.
15:08You are in your house.
15:39Let's go!
15:50We're going to take a look at the landing pad.
15:53Come out! Come out!
15:58Okay, listen! As soon as the helicopter lands, we go straight to the landing pad.
16:03Okay, line up! Okay, come out! Come out!
16:07Okay, line up! Line up! Come in!
16:09We're going to go!
16:11We're going to go!
16:29Come out!
16:31Come out!
16:32Come out!
16:34Come out!
16:40Come out!
16:42Come out!
16:45Oh, come out!
16:51I'll attack her!
16:55Come out!
16:55Come on!
16:57Go!
17:05Come on, come on, come on, where the fuck are they, man?
17:11I don't know.
17:13I don't know.
17:14Come on, come on, come on, guys.
17:15OK, go, go, go.
17:24It's going to begin.
17:35Get ready, everyone, in case we open the gate.
17:37What happened?
17:39Where are the shots coming from?
17:41I'm not sure.
17:42Taliban in the streets?
17:43I don't know.
17:43What the fuck are they doing?
17:44They're all going to get crushed.
17:46People are starting to climb the wall.
17:49Should I order to shoot?
17:54What the hell do I do?
17:57Open the gate.
17:58Security desk to gate.
18:00Open the damn gate.
18:02Kobe says to open the gate.
18:03Go, go, go, go, go.
18:04Ajit, come with me.
18:08Get everyone into the courtside.
18:10I don't want anyone in the building.
18:12I don't want anyone in the building.
18:25Open the gate.
18:27Open it.
18:31OK, show me your papers.
18:32Come on, we're waiting.
18:34One by one, one by one.
18:35Your papers.
18:37Show me your papers.
18:37Everyone.
18:38OK, your fingers.
18:40Show me your papers.
18:41Raise your shot!
18:42Show me your papers.
18:45Okay, you can go.
18:49Go!
18:51Okay.
18:51Show me your papers, please.
18:53Okay, you can go.
18:54Okay, go, go.
18:57Show me your papers!
18:58Okay, okay.
18:59Okay, just go, go.
19:03Okay, don't slow down. Come on, come on.
19:05Let's go, stop, stop.
19:05Okay, close the gate, close the gate!
19:08Go, go, go, go!
19:10Go!
19:17Search the bags, search the bags!
19:20Over there!
19:20Stop, stop, over your bags!
19:22Okay, okay!
19:23Watch them closely, there could be Isis!
19:30What happened?
19:31The bag and the bag and the bag were under the bed.
19:34Is it?
19:35Yes.
19:36I have to tell you that.
19:40Why did you want to tell us?
19:43You should go and put the gap in the bag.
19:45The bag has nothing.
19:47I have only found something from the bag.
19:49I am getting to the bag.
20:04Do you want me to give you a choice?
20:07What are you doing?
20:11It's a good thing.
20:13It's a good thing.
20:15It's a good thing.
20:16It's a good thing.
20:17It's a good thing.
20:19It's a good thing.
20:21What are you doing?
20:24I don't want to do anything.
21:01What is your choice?
21:06What am I doing here?
21:07What do you want me to do?
21:11What are you doing here?
21:12What are you doing here?
21:13What are you doing here?
21:13You're your only way to go.
21:14I'm here to come.
21:14If you want me to come to you,
21:15I can't remember you.
21:16I am here to come.
21:23I remember the first time I saw you.
21:29When did you give me a gift?
21:32You give me a gift every day.
21:37You say.
21:53I remember my mother.
21:56I remember my mother.
21:58I didn't have a gift.
22:06I don't know what to do.
22:07I'm very afraid.
22:11I'm afraid to go to this place.
22:14I'm afraid to go.
22:19Do you understand?
22:24You don't have a smile on your head.
22:31The Taliban are so much more than the government.
22:38The government is so much more than the government.
22:41The Americans have no longer work.
22:44The countries have no longer work.
22:47The Europeans have no longer work.
22:51The Europeans have no longer work.
22:55But the people have no longer work.
22:58I don't know what to do.
23:00We are not alone.
23:04You always say to me.
23:06It's not important to me.
23:09There is no hope.
23:12I don't have any hope.
23:14I have no hope.
23:17I have no hope.
23:29Here we go.
23:32Good morning, madam.
23:34Good morning, sir.
23:36All right.
23:42Mr. Consul.
23:44Yes.
23:45We have a big problem.
23:47I'm sorry.
23:47I don't have time now.
23:48I'm afraid it cannot wait, sir.
23:51This is for you.
23:52Please, sir.
23:55Okay.
23:55Just wait two minutes.
23:57Okay?
23:58And take this.
24:01Let's go.
24:04What's going on?
24:05Huh?
24:12We are looking for buckets, but we won't last long like this.
24:16There will be no way to breathe with this heat.
24:19The poor women.
24:21They can't go outside.
24:22Not here, anyway.
24:26Okay.
24:27Move these people away.
24:28They can't stay here.
24:29And organize a path to a barrack's toilets just for women and children.
24:33All right?
24:33We cannot do that, sir.
24:34We cannot let them into the building.
24:35It's a direct order.
24:39Is there a problem?
24:41Yes.
24:41Definitely a big problem.
25:10If the road isn't blocked, we can reach Bamiyan in three hours.
25:14I spoke with Mustafa.
25:16He's waiting for us there.
25:18Did he have any news?
25:19None.
25:24It's Hassan.
25:26Hassan?
25:27I tried to reach you like a hundred times.
25:30I'm sorry.
25:31We were in the mountains.
25:33We managed to escape the Taliban, and now we are trying to code Kabul.
25:37Do you hear me?
25:38Hassan?
25:39I'm losing signal.
25:40Can you pull over?
25:41Sure.
25:42Please.
25:44Hassan?
25:46Can you hear me?
25:48Where are you?
25:49Uh...
25:49I'm losing signal.
25:50I think we are not far from Akakel.
25:53There's not many of us.
25:55We are exhausted.
25:56We'll come and get you.
25:59I am glad to see you.
26:01Good to see you.
26:02You came from Germany?
26:05Uh... yeah, just arrived.
26:07Hans and Bastian were still stationed in Kabul.
26:09They are with me.
26:10The German High Command abandoned everyone.
26:12It's tragic.
26:14In Bagram and Baryam, there are many people arrested by the Taliban.
26:18I know.
26:19We'll try to fight until the end.
26:22There's an abandoned base in Zurubi.
26:24They're only an hour's walk away.
26:26I'll send you the coordinates of an old base in Zurubi.
26:29We meet you there and take you to the airport.
26:31Okay.
26:33I'll wait for the coordinates.
26:35Take care.
26:44Look.
26:44They have plenty here.
27:15Hi.
27:16Sorry.
27:17I'm the Italian consul in charge of evacuating the Afghans from Kabul.
27:21I have hundreds of people in the town with no access to toilets.
27:25So I was thinking...
27:26We fully understand, but our porta-potties are U.S. Army properties.
27:29Yeah, I know, I know, I know.
27:30But no one is using them, so...
27:32Well, how do you know no one's using them?
27:34I'm just asking for one.
27:37Just one.
27:38Just until we can find a solution.
27:39You need to ask your diplomatic authority to make a request through the hierarchy.
27:41I am the diplomatic authority and in nature's name, I'm asking you to give me one of these fucking toilets.
27:45I'm sorry, but I didn't receive any such orders.
27:47Come back with a signed statement from my command and you can do what you want.
27:55Let's go.
27:58Let's go.
28:12Let's go.
28:13Anybody could be ISIS.
28:15I know.
28:19Can you zoom in on him?
28:23Watch the bag.
28:31A kid, a fuck.
28:37Just a fucking sneakers.
28:48Are they checking the cameras?
28:53Fuck.
28:56They're casing the place.
29:00Where's Jeep?
29:01I don't know.
29:02Come with me.
29:06Alex, come with us.
29:12Move, move, move, move.
29:14Move, move, move.
29:14Get down.
29:15Get down.
29:16I know what you mean.
29:16On your knees.
29:17I said get down.
29:19Your papers.
29:20No, I'm an artist.
29:21I'm an artist.
29:22I exhibited in Marseille last year.
29:24I asked for your papers.
29:25No, my friend here is a video artist, but he doesn't speak English.
29:33Why did you take pictures of our security system?
29:36We just wanted to document our journey here, but we can give you everything.
29:39Here, we're not Taliban or ISIS, sir.
29:41We just want to get out of this country before we go to jail.
29:45Okay.
29:46What's going on?
29:48Well, we're in a war zone, and they're taking holiday snaps.
29:52Oh.
29:55You okay?
29:59Sorry for that.
30:01Please.
30:03You have water over there if you need it.
30:04It's okay?
30:12Everything's fine.
30:15I'm sorry.
30:16I know you have a lot to do, but do you know maybe when we will be able to leave
30:20here?
30:21We do our best.
30:23I'm worried about my wife.
30:24She's in danger.
30:26She's a prosecutor in the Kabul Criminal Court.
30:28There is a Taliban.
30:29She convicted outside the embassy.
30:33We're negotiating with the army to send us helicopters.
30:36Why don't we take buses?
30:38There are a lot of school transport companies and a lot of drivers.
30:43We're looking for a solution so that your wife and all the Afghans here are safe.
30:47Trust us.
30:48Okay.
30:56Do you have an antenna?
30:58No.
31:00I don't think we're going to have an antenna.
31:03I'm going to have an antenna.
31:05I'm going to have an antenna.
31:07You don't have an antenna.
31:09Everything will be good.
31:31What?
31:40We're talking.
31:45Never go, what?
31:47We won't go.
31:47I'm going to have to go for the Costa Rica infrastructure, so that the Taliban will cover the
31:49I don't know.
31:50I don't know.
32:23But I don't know how much further I can go.
32:25Taliban everywhere.
32:29Okay.
32:30I'll send you the coordinates.
32:33Okay, I'll just hope I can stay here.
33:04Hey, hey, hey, stop!
33:06Stop!
33:07What's going on?
33:11I have an 8th requisition.
33:13You have written orders?
33:14From the Italian minister of foreign affairs.
33:16Yes.
33:16Show me.
33:19Here.
33:24It's an Italian.
33:26As the request of NATO, the Italian minister of foreign affairs, in accordance with such-and-such agreement and blah
33:34-blah-blah directive, authorizes the Italian consular and military representatives to take possession of the sanitary facilities for reasons of
33:43public hygiene.
33:45Should I continue, or it's fine?
33:56Think you're smart, huh?
34:05So now what you're going to do? Arrest me?
34:08Of course, a diplomatic incident.
34:11Just because there are bullshit rules doesn't mean you have to pay them.
34:15Now, do what you want.
34:15Call your friends.
34:16Call your staff.
34:17Call the White House, if you like.
34:19But I'm taking them.
34:26Okay, I'll leave you there.
34:28I have to go.
34:29All right.
34:39The Taliban deny having opened fire.
34:43Who was it then?
34:45A group of rogue Franciscan monks.
34:48In any case, the Americans have closed the airspace over Kabul.
34:52So, helicopter evacuations are out of the question.
34:56And unfortunately, we don't have the green light for our special forces.
34:59So, what do we do?
35:02We have over a hundred people here who fear for their lives.
35:05We have no idea what the next few hours will bring.
35:08I'm sorry.
35:12The Taliban can decide to take the embassy whenever they want.
35:15We only have 11 men and not enough ammo to last more than an hour.
35:27Well, there's a solution.
35:31But it's risky.
35:35Evacuate the embassy by bus.
35:37What do you mean by bus?
35:39I mean by bus.
35:41Do you have a better idea?
35:44Okay, but then we'd have to ask the Americans to charter us some armored buses.
35:48Now, that would make us prime targets.
35:50And I don't want a repeat of what happened with the helicopters.
35:54What are you suggesting?
35:56There are a lot of transport companies in Kabul.
36:00All we need to do is find one willing to charter us a dozen buses.
36:03Then, convince the Taliban to let us through and drive to the airport.
36:11Can't do this without the president's approval.
36:13Or without American video surveillance.
36:17I'll contact l'Elysée and we'll assess in 30.
36:35Are you sure about the buses?
36:37I'm not sure of anything.
36:39And we'll need safe passage from the Taliban outside.
36:53How many are you, sir?
36:54Two.
37:04How are you feeling?
37:06Tired.
37:08If you want anything, just ask us.
37:10Jacob, she's over the microphone.
37:13I need your help.
37:15Okay, of course.
37:16Okay.
37:17Thanks.
37:18We have to find buses to evacuate the embassy.
37:21etc.
37:22We can do so.
37:24Don't.
37:24I don't understand what you think of us.
37:26Do not understand what you think of us.
37:29I don't know how to stop.
37:29I said it will go.
37:31I don't understand.
37:32I can do so.
37:33No.
37:34I can do so.
37:42What are you doing?
37:44I don't understand.
37:46This is our unit.
37:47This is our unit.
37:47If you don't have a job, I'll be able to do it.
37:54Amina, I'll come back to your journey.
37:57I don't have to learn how to go back to Europe.
38:02Do you want to go back to Europe?
38:04I don't think I'll be able to go back to Europe.
38:21I don't know.
38:22How do I go back to Europe?
38:23What is it?
38:25What is it?
38:26What is it?
38:26What is it?
38:26What does it mean?
38:51That's him.
38:53I'm with us.
39:10Ghazal Nazani.
39:13Good to see you again.
39:15Martin.
39:30So where are we going?
39:33The airport.

41:04I'm one of General Hassan's men.
41:06Please!
41:07Hand over the phone!
41:13It's Hassan's phone.
41:16Please!
41:19Okay.
41:20Get up!
41:27What happened?
41:29The Taliban.
41:30They came when we got here.
41:33I hate there were too many of them.
41:35And the General?
41:37They took him away.
41:42Where did they take him?
41:43I don't know.
41:45I don't know.
41:47Okay, hands down.
41:49Can't stay here, Vera.
41:51They could come back any minute.
41:57Get in the car.
42:17I don't know.
42:20They're from now.
42:21I don't know.
42:23I don't know.
42:24I know.
42:25I know.
42:26I know.
42:27It's a good thing.
42:27I don't know.
42:27I know.
42:28I'll be right back

43:21Tired
43:22I need to get some rest
43:24And I change
43:29We called the embassy for your papers
43:34In the meantime I need you to do
43:36Something for me
43:39The Taliban has released
43:40All the prisoners from Pula Shaki
43:42Including Anula Bacash
43:45According to our intel
43:46ISIS is planning large scale
43:48Attacks during the evacuation
43:51We lost our source on the inside
43:52When completely in the dark
43:55I can't do that
43:57Anula never knew you worked for us
44:00We just need you to reach out
44:03Make contact
44:04See what happens
44:05I can't
44:06We are in the shit Vazal
44:09You're the only one who can help
44:17Think about your parents
44:20Your sister
44:24Have they left Kabul yet?
44:34Have they left Kabul yet?
44:35The president has given his approval
44:37Now we just need the Taliban to agree
44:41Everything's ready
44:44Well?
44:46Well I'm looking
44:47It's not going to be easy
44:48But we'll find something
44:50I'm counting on you

44:59And one on the left wall
45:00He will have the best angle
45:02In case of trouble
45:03The team will be ready to go get you
45:05If anything goes wrong
45:08But I won't lie
45:11We're no match for them
45:14I don't think they'll take any risk
