Cuba is a communist state.

And typically, all communication
within these countries is monitored.

And intelligence agencies
have access to everything.

The information we obtain,
must be kept confidential.

You can't enter.

This is not right, guys.

It's okay, Bashar.
They're just following orders.

PARIS - FRANCE

EMBASSY OF KUWAIT

AMBASSADOR
KHALED YAKUB ELSAAH

MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS
PROTOCOL DEPARTMENT

Prepare the cars,
and take an official letter with you.

Abdel Rahmen.

Abdel Rahmen.

Abdel Rahmen.

Khaled.

I was dreaming about that day.

- I know.
- How?

I heard you talking, Khaled.

The entire plane heard you.

I didn't know that I talk in my sleep.

And quite loudly, I might add.

Thanks.

You get some sleep, I'll stay awake.

No, we're almost there.

I don't think I can sleep anyway.

So, now that we have some time...

I want to know more about
that nice trip you had planned.

Stop. That's enough.

It was a good plan, really.

Why didn't you wake me up
when they were serving food?

The stewardess came over three times,
but you didn't wake up.

- The stewardess?
- Yeah.

Was she good-looking?
I mean, was the food good?

Yes, the "food" was good.
Now drink your water.

THE FRENCH COMPANY HEADQUATERS

Your Excellency.

The place is abandoned. No one's here.

CHIEF EDITOR

Why would someone
with such extensive media experience

apply for a job for an online newspaper?

You could be Minister of Information.

I want to be free
to talk about certain topics.

And I need a platform
without any restrictions.

Let me stop you right there.

A platform without restrictions...

doesn't exist. It's just a dream.

In Kuwait,
freedom of the press is restricted.

With all due respect,

freedom can only be regulated,
not restricted.

Those who use freedom of speech
to harm others are liable for their words.

The same can be said for those
who use it to spread lies.

This way, laws can still be enforced

but people retain the right
to freedom of expression.

So, give people that freedom
but teach them how to use it properly.

Well...

You've put me in a tight spot.

You have considerable qualifications
and media expertise

but, to be completely honest,

we can't afford to pay
what you're asking for,

not even half of it.

No problem. Make me an editor

and give me
full responsibility and autonomy,

you pay what you can.

- Deal?
- Deal.

HAVANA - CUBA

Did you know Adnan resigned?

Check out the third car on the left.

They've been tailing us
since we left airport.

Is there a problem?

It's nothing.

Just act natural
until we reach the embassy.

KUWAIT EMBASSY

Welcome.

Welcome, gentlemen. Come in.

We're honored to have you.

What do you mean abandoned?

The company has a French license

and assets around the world.

I believe it has a branch here.

When can we visit them?

We reached out to them.
You have an appointment tomorrow.

Which gives you a chance
to explore Havana in the meantime.

We will decide the schedule and itinerary.

It's our job to protect these gentlemen.

It would be difficult to do that
out in the open.

We're not here on vacation.

We have
a time-sensitive mission to complete.

You know best then.

We'll arrange everything
for your appointment tomorrow.

There's something we need to verify
before returning to the hotel.

General Yehia.

According to our records,

you were part of the technical committee
that went to France

- to evaluate the military aircraft.
- Correct.

Can you tell us
what was the objective of this committee?

To inspect the factory.

We were given detailed information
about the aircraft's specs and features

and observed test flights of the aircraft.

Were other delegations present
at the factory during this time?

Yes, there were delegations
from Egypt, the UAE and Qatar.

When these delegations
withdrew from the deal,

did you not think that something was off?

What are you insinuating?

You are a civilian.
You're not familiar with military matters.

An inspection doesn't guarantee
the purchase of equipment.

Military equipment deals
depend on several factors,

such as the price,
the delivery, and any competing offers.

That is my answer.

Did you meet with former Minister Adnan

- in France?
- No.

He wasn't there.

But he approved the deal.

I'm not involved in politics.
I'm a military man.

- I had a mission and completed it.
- Was the death of a young pilot...

part of your mission?

We risk our lives every day
so you and your families feel safe.

I won't stand
you questioning the principles

of the Ministry of National Security,
not even for a moment.

You are questioning the wrong person.

Where is the minister
who approved the deal?

Your Honor, if I may,
I have a question for the witness.

Go ahead. Ask your question.

General Yehia,
is it true that the victim, Mubarak,

was on the technical committee
that inspected the aircraft?

Yes.

This means he had no doubt
about the aircraft's performance

since he tested it several times himself

and recommended buying it
as part of the committee.

Thank you, I have no further questions.

- You see where they parked?
- Act natural.

Let's buy some cigarettes.

- Hello.
- Hello.

What's wrong with you?
We're not in Kuwait, hide your gun.

Sorry, I wasn't paying attention.

How come you know that type of gun?

Khaled!

I couldn't catch them.

They're sending us a message.

- Who are they?
- I don't know.

But this aircraft situation
is more serious than we thought.

- Where is the car now?
- We'll send you its location.

We won't let anyone out of our sight.

Enable location on your phone
so we can track you in real time.

It could have been a random attack.
Attacks on tourists happen often.

No. I saw them tailing us
from the airport.

Wait a second!
Why not report it to the police?

That would draw attention to us
and complicate things further.

Pack your things.
We'll come back in a couple of days.

This is our room, and this is your room.
I'm gonna call housekeeping.

You didn't sleep on the plane.
Get some rest. I'll stay with them.

What are we gonna eat?

Now we're talking.

- I'll go check and let you know.
- Be careful.

- See you later.
- Okay. Later.

- Hey, brother.
- Hey.

- What's up?
- All good.

- What are you feeding us today?
- Moros y Cristianos.

Are you messing with me? I'm still sleepy.

It's black rice and beans.

It's the Cuban national dish,
like Majboos for us.

- This is their Majboos?
- Yeah.

That's not enough. I want meat.

We can't have meat.
We don't know where it comes from.

- Pizza then.
- I don't want pizza.

I’m tired of eating pizza.

I guess that can't be helped.

I've seen more beauty here
than the rest of world.

It's only been 30 minutes,
and I haven't seen much beauty.

I just need one look
to see the full picture.

I have a feeling
you'll be returning home with a bride.

- You too.
- No, I'm already married.

If a man remains this loyal
to a woman after they separated,

it means he truly loves her.

I feel bad for Abu Uthman's family.

People said a lot of things
about them on Twitter.

May God help them.

Amen.

Who gains from Adnan's "situation"?

I'm dying to find out. Whoever it is,
they won't expose themselves.

What do you want now?

The names of the officials
who were present when the deal was closed.

What for?

I have something in mind.

Okay, I'll try to get you
the names by tomorrow.

- Don't forget, okay?
- No problem.

Take me home.

Is it fair to say that Adnan's finished?

Politically speaking, he's done for,
unless the government finds a scapegoat.

And what's our move
if the government decides to cover it up?

We start a rally at Al-Erada Square.

Public protest is way overdue,
and the people are ready.

We'll use "#BePrepared"
alongside photos of the 2009 protests.

No, we're just getting started.
We need to plan out our every move.

Our current goal
is to have Adnan imprisoned.

Okay.

Listen, what is the deal
with the Free Voice account?

They've been criticizing Adnan's morals,

allowing him to gain some sympathy,
which does not work in our favor.

I don't know,
but I don't have time for nonsense, Zaid.

Anyway, this paper contains
a list of names.

If you put the screws on them,
you'll get what you want.

- And what's the best way to do that?
- Bribery.

Adnan doesn't joke
when it comes to bribes.

AIRCRAFT COMPANY HEADQUARTERS - CUBA

Hello.

Show me your permit.

Give it to me.

They're here.

Understood.

Open the gate.

Move it.

STOP

State your name and occupation.

Walid Salim. Aerospace engineer
at the Ministry of National Security.

Mr. Walid, as a specialist,
have you read the incident report?

Yes.

What was the main cause
of the accident?

We believe the fuel tank malfunctioned.

Does this type of aircraft
normally have such issues?

To a certain degree.

These kinds of issues mostly occur
after years of wear and tear.

Is this kind of technical fault

common in the aircraft
you've worked on throughout your career?

If I may, I'd like to show some images
that will help me better explain this.

THE MINISTERS COURT

The defense wishes to present exhibit 512.

FALCON F35-R

These are images of accidents

involving some
of the most advanced military aircraft.

The causes vary from engine failure,

to human error, to treacherous weather.

In this case,
the cause was the fuel tank.

These images prove

that an aircraft, regardless of its make
and the technology used to build it,

can malfunction.

A question for the witness.

Did you know that ejection seat issues

had been reported
by other countries using the same aircraft

prior to the purchase made
by the Ministry of National Security?

What do you have to say about that?

The ministry should have allowed more time
to conduct a thorough inspection.

Could you say that a little louder?

The ministry should have allowed more time
to conduct a thorough inspection.

Seriously? What are you saying?

- What is he saying?
- Calm down, Your Excellency.

Silence!

No further questions.

- Hello.
- Hello.

Bashar, it's okay. Give him your gun.

Khaled.

May God help you clean up the mess
in your cabinet.

I'm used to it, Abu Jaber.

But I came to tell you to be careful.

The voices speaking against you
are becoming louder because of Adnan.

I appreciate your concern,
but the court is handling the matter now.

We cannot interfere.

I understand where you're coming from,

but both politically and publicly,
you're not doing enough.

I don't know,

why can't your ministers use
their political connections?

Not one of them has gone on air

to speak to the public
and explain what is happening.

If we grant them that window
of opportunity,

they will only speak on issues
that affect their electoral prospects.

Then it will no longer be
a matter of national interest,

it will become leverage
to use for their own benefit.

With all due respect,
Abu Jaber, there's a difference

between national and political interest.

This is a political crisis.

You need to coordinate with your allies
and present a united front.

At the very least,

speak to the those who campaigned
for your appointment.

Three of your ministers
are affiliated with different factions.

Can't they exert some influence on them?

If not, what's the point
if them being ministers?

Just so you know,

the elected members support you,
but only when appropriate.

However, the ministers of state
can't coordinate between--

Abu Abdullah, please.

They're doing all they can.

It has become a matter of public interest.

It's out of our control.

Even those affiliated with us
aren't able to support us.

Social media has turned against us.

Monitoring and controlling
social media channels

should be the top priority
for your ministers.

My group will focus
on finding solutions.

We have already issued a statement

that we will await the court's verdict
before speaking on the issue.

What have your ministers done? Nothing.

Some of your ministers
are even stirring up MPs

against the Minister of National Security.

That is not accurate.

You should be supporting us

and defending us against
any attack from our enemies.

That is not our job.

You're too stubborn, Abu Abdullah,
when it comes to protocols.

Unfortunately, Abu Jaber,

you have misunderstood
your political role.

If I cared about protocols, as you say,

I wouldn't have come to your house.

You coming to my house
doesn't matter, Abu Abdullah.

What we noticed is that

you don't want to lose
your alliances with the members

of all the factions.

This is why
you can't pressure them for us.

Abu Abdullah, don't forget...

we supported you during the election.

Unfortunately,
you don't understand politics.

You voted for me in the election

because you knew
that I'd offer you protection.

If I stop supporting you,

you would be facing condemnation

and government resignations
on a daily basis.

You'd keep moving
from one crisis to another.

I'm containing them all in my own way.

You know, I've prevented
several indictments

from being brought up
in any parliamentary inquiries.

But your ministers start trembling
whenever they hear the word "inquiry."

No, Abu Abdullah.

I won't let you disrespect my ministers.

The only thing we fear is God.

This is not some company branch, Bashar.

They have an entire army here.

It's a state within a state.

We have to be very careful.

Let's get what we want quickly and leave.

Welcome. I've been waiting for you.

Was your trip comfortable?

You can't enter.

This is not right, guys.

It's okay, Bashar.
They're just following orders.

Are we just gonna sit here and do nothing?

- Those were the orders.
- I don't care.

I didn't come all the way
from Kuwait to just sit here.

Khaled.

Let's complete the mission and just go.

Don't forget, we came here for Adnan.

- Calm down.
- How can you be so calm?

What else can I do, Khaled? Tell me.

Something's fishy
and they don't want us to find out.

- Hello.
- Khaled.

- I'll take it to them.
- Khaled.

Where is the delivery guy?

May I come in?

I know you were sleeping,
but I need to know something.

You're crazy.

Who's Fahad Abdulkarim?

He was a ministry official
a long time ago.

Okay. Do you remember
the date of his resignation?

I can't find it.

I think it was July 11th.

July 11th?

He resigned a week
before the deal was closed

and then went off the grid completely.
That's weird, isn't it?

A lot of people resign,
what's so weird about that?

The resignation date
and his disappearance.

I tried to get in touch with him
but I couldn't.

- You think he was involved in the deal?
- That's what I want to find out.

Thank you. Go back to sleep.

You embarrassed us, Khaled.

You should've told us
that we couldn't attend the meeting.

The company ordered you to, Khaled.

It wasn't our choice to leave you behind.

These are the reports.

FALCON F35-R

What are these?

This report is different
from the one in Kuwait.

Is Adnan innocent
or were the reports doctored?

I don't know, Khaled.
That's for the court to decide.

Give me the report.

Something happened
before the report reached Kuwait.

We don't know what happened
or who would benefit from this.

STOP

The company confirmed this is
the same report that they sent to Kuwait.

The report says the jets were all safe.
So, what happened?

A twist of fate.

We bought 18 jets,
and one burned up in the air.

- It happens.
- We'll find out soon.

What are we waiting for?

Let's send the report to Kuwait,
they prove Adnan is innocent.

It'll have to wait.
We just received new orders.

This is Pablo Escada.

He's a key figure
within the Cuban dissident movement.

He has some information
that he wants to share with us.

He wants to meet here.

I want you to go and bring him here.

When?

Today, but there's something
you should know.

The Cuban government will view this
as a hostile act on their territory.

You are the only ones here
who aren't acting in an official capacity.

If anything happens,

the embassy won't help you,
and nor will the government.

We'll disavow any knowledge
of your actions.

GRANMA - NORTH EAST HAVANA

EL TABURETE CAMPGROUND
HUNTING PROHIBITED

I don't know what to do.

We're in a foreign country.
We don't have any support.

Why didn't you say anything
to the ambassador?

What is there to say?
He said that these are orders.

Since when do we question orders?

Everything will be fine.
Just stick close to me.

- And pray on it.
- Pray on it?

- You remind me of my mom.
- Don't start playing with me now.

I have a feeling
that you'll die before me.

Khaled, shut up.

For God's sake.

Based on the evidence presented,

the court has decided to ban
all media reports on this case

and to detain the defendant
in prison for the foreseeable,

pending all investigations
and proceedings.

Case adjourned.
