[reporter] Militants of the Islamic state of Iraq and Syria,

ISIS, continue to advance in northern Iraq.

While it's claimed that militias affiliated with the

Islamic State of Iraq and Syria

are advancing towards the city of Saladin.

[rapid gunfire]

[reporter 2] There are also reports that ISIS militants continue to clash

with the security forces, in a struggle to take control of the entire city.

They're starting to surround it.

Employees and also civilians.

And one child.

The daughter of one of the clerks.

They 're not answering.

We can't get a response from the local security forces.

We are standing by for your orders, sir!

[frenzied shouting]

[Ekrem] You have no way to defend the place for yourselves.

You're going to surrender.

Sir, we have plenty of ammo.

We can defend it to the last drop of our blood, if necessary.

[Ekrem] The lives of everyone there are at risk.

I repeat, you will surrender. Do you copy?

[woman groans]

Copy that. Yes, sir.

As of now, this is our land, do you hear me?

Listen to me!

If you follow our orders, we will spare your life!

Do you understand?

[all] We understand.

[all murmuring]

[low, fearful chatter]

Listen brothers, Commander Ferec wants them all alive.

You hear?

Make sure you take care of it.

Come on, cuff them! Come on!

Come on, cuff them!

[line ringing]

[guard] Commander Ferec.

We have captured all the consulate general staff alive.

[multiple news reports playing in background]

That's perfect.

Take the prisoners to the safe location, wait for my orders.

[guard] Yes, sir, Commander Ferec.

[multiple news reports playing in background]

Our friends will be very happy about this.

[reporter] What is their latest status? Any information

about where the hostages are being held?

At this time, we have not received

any negative information on the subject.

Yes? You.

How many hostages are there?

We are getting conflicting information from your office.

What's the exact number?

We are guessing there are about 45 to 50 people.

The exact number it will be shared with you when we know.

[man] The schematics, I sent there.

[press secretary] Unfortunately, we don't have

any confirmed information.

Where is he?

But my colleagues are working on this right now.

[dramatic music]

[man shouting in another language]

[♪]

[hum of chatter]

[Ekrem] Hasan El Kadim.

He's been using the name Abu Ferec since he has joined the organization.

He was an officer during Saddam's rule.

He was successful in the Iran army.

But after the Gulf War, he disappeared for a long time.

Since he joined the organization,

special operations have been carried out by him.

It is also known that the most brutal execution videos were shot by him.

We have confirmation from various sources

that the raid at the consulate and hostage-taking operation

were carefully planned, and managed by him.

He shouldn't be underestimated.

Let's not forget that, as we move forward with our operation.

[woman] Excuse me, sir?

We got a message from the organization.

Zeynep, put it up on the screen. Go ahead.

[tense music]

[girl sobbing]

[women sobbing]

Commander Ferec has a message!

[♪]

Assalam aleykum.

This little girl, and all the hostages,

will either return home to you safely,

or they will be executed.

It is in your hands.

These are our demands.

First,

The Republic of Turkey will immediately release

every single one of our captive brothers-in-arms.

Second,

The Republic of Turkey will commit to never join

the international coalition against our holy state!

Third,

The Republic of Turkey,

will announce to the whole world that it officially

recognizes our state as an independent country!

Assalam aleykum.

[hostages sobbing quietly]

[Ferec] Come on! Come on!

Stand up, stand up, hurry! Hurry!

[somber music]

As you see,

we need to handle this situation as soon as possible.

We have to keep our people alive,

so that our state can live.

Sir, it would be better if we postponed joining the coalition.

Thus, we gain can time for the members of the organization held by the FSA.

As you know, lists will be passed back and forth,

and by doing that, we will have slowed down the process as much as possible.

The real problem is their last demand.

It is absolutely out of the question for Turkey

to recognize a terrorist organization.

How could such a thing be possible?

Of course it can't. In the meantime,

we have located where the hostages are being held.

We will carry out the operation with our own team right away.

We need to bring those people back safe and sound.

Do you hear me? Beyond that,

it's not enough just to bring them back safe.

What we need to do is teach them a lesson so they know who they're dealing with,

and they never consider doing this again.

No question about it, sir.

We are working on all dimensions of the issue.

I've already deployed our field agent to the area.

-Who did you send? -My best man.

-[child sobbing] -[woman screaming]

[man] Give the kid a beating she'll remember.

[man 2] Oh, for sure.

-[woman screaming] -Be quiet. Be quiet.

Shut up!

[woman and child sobbing]

[somber music]

[music turns suspenseful]

Oh! [whimpers]

[whistles]

[fighting grunts]

Come on, hurry, get in your house, quickly.

[dramatic music]

[girl sobbing]

[♪]

[girl sobbing]

[suspenseful music]

[knocks rhythmically]

[door latch clicks]

-[Zeki] Welcome, brother. -Thanks, brother.

Are you alone? Anyone else here?

If you're asking about me, I'm here again.

I got all the books you asked for.

But I had to rush to get to you, I'm really sorry.

No, I've gotten used to unkept promises, it's all right.

Supposedly, someone was going to arrange a trip for us or something.

Come on, now, how could I have asked you to come,

with the way things are here?

And I also really missed...

Ankara, Istanbul.

A one-week vacation in Istanbul will be enough, really.

Sahra, I know life is hard, here.

But I really promise you, once we handle things here,

I will take you on a months' vacation, not just a week.

-Wow, one month! -Yeah, one month.

A month will be great.

We'll visit Ankara, too.

-But now our task is diff-- -We have little time.

As usual, nothing ever changes around here.

Yes, what have we got?

[Oguz] There are guards at the door.

Heavily armed.

Obviously, it's crowded inside.

We need to go in strong.

[suspenseful music]

[guard] Selamin Aleykum.

-Greetings, greetings. -Go away!

Don't stop here. Go away!

-[guard] We don't want any! -My apples are very good.

-We don't want any! -Hand me two kilos.

[guard 2] Go away!

Go away, you heard me! Keep moving!

All right, all right. I'm leaving. I'm leaving!

-No problem. -I said, go away!

Greetings, greetings.

Allah is great. Allah is great.

May Allah not let stones touch your feet.

If possible, always let bullets hit them.

[truck engine revs]

[Sahra] Well said, sir. [chuckles]

[dramatic music]

[somber music]

[hostages coughing]

[low hum of chatter]

Why aren't they coming to rescue us, Mother?

They will, honey, they will.

Don't you worry about it.

What's going to happen if they take me to that room again?

[sighs]

Let them come already.

Surely, they are doing something for us right now, my love.

I promise.

Don't you worry, my angel.

[Ekrem] Oguz, everything is set.

Both our operation teams have infiltrated Mosul,

and taken their positions.

They are waiting for your signal.

You will also be guided for the return route.

I will also be waiting for BIS or CAS, as well.

So, as we agreed, we will start at 12 midnight.

All right, then.

May Allah be with you, son.

Appreciate that, Sir.

[suspenseful music]

Let the operation begin.

[♪]

-We're starting. -I'm ready.

[guns clicking]

[dog barking distantly]

[guard] Here.

Take your next bread. Take the bread.

[hostages sighing]

[man] Here.

Take it.

[hostages coughing]

[hostages whisper softly]

[solemn music]

[suspenseful music]

[Oguz] Sahra, you got the tower.

[man grunting]

[Sahra] The tower is clear.

[♪]

[hostages murmur softly]

Hey, sweetheart.

Honey, come, let's eat something, all right?

I just keep looking at the sky,

because superheroes always come from the sky.

[♪]

Second team is inside.

We're entering Block A.

[♪]

[dog barking distantly]

Sahra. You're up.

[guards grunting]

[Sahra] Door is clear.

[♪]

Entering the courtyard.

[♪]

It would be really nice if superheroes were real, right, Mom?

Because that way, they would come to save us.

Yes, they would.

-What do you think you're doing? -[screaming]

[gasping fearfully]

What did I say about looking out the window?

[foreboding music]

[whimpering]

Oh!

[girl sobbing]

[solemn music]

[girl sobbing quietly]

[both sobbing]

-[gunshot pops] -[guard grunts]

Team Three, we're at the front door.

Team One, I'm opening it.

[suspenseful music]

[Oguz] Team One is entering the main block.

Team Three has entered Block C.

The courtyard is clear.

[♪]

Ward Two, clear.

Ward Three, clear.

Ward Four, clear.

[Oguz] Ward Two, clear.

[soldiers breathing heavily]

[Oguz] Open it.

[♪]

Clear.

Clear.

[♪]

Clear.

[soldier] Okay.

[♪]

There's no one in there.

Have we been misled? Are the hostages somewhere else?

[sighs]

They must have seen us and fled.

There must be another exit somewhere around here.

There is another way out. Spread out and find it, go!

-Got it. -Yes, sir! Copy that.

[soldier] I found it in the ward.

Hold on to this.

Don't lose it.

We're going to give it back to its owner.

[suspenseful music]

[hostages and guards shouting]

[man] They must be coming!

-[all shouting at once] -[guard] Yalla! Yalla!

[muffled, distant shouting]

There's a passage here.

Their voices are coming from down there. This way.

[distant shouting echoes]

[guards shouting]

[guard] Yalla! Yalla!

[all shouting at once]

[♪]

[hostages sobbing]

-[gunshot booming] -Oh!

Are you all right?

[soldier] I'm all right, it's just a graze.

[guards shouting distantly]

[♪]

[hostage] Help us! Come on!

Help us, please!

Please!

[bomb beeping]

-[rapid gunfire] -Come on, let's go!

[rapid gunfire]

-[gunshot booms] -[man gasps]

[tense music]

-Bomb! -Pull back! It's a trap!

-Trap! -[bomb beeping]

[explosion booms]

[soldier] There's been an explosion.

There's been a powerful explosion.

Team One, are you okay?

-Team One? -Oguz!

Oguz, what is your status? Oguz, are you all right?

Son, answer me, what's going on?

[debris patters]

[Sahra] Team One, are you okay?

Are you okay? Answer me! Oguz!

Oguz, answer me!

[Oguz] Sir, we have one minor injury.

They blew up the tunnel.

If we can just find the exit of the tunnel...

Now! Get out of there, now! Right now! Get out, right now!

But sir, let us try to find the exit.

Son, do you hear me?

Leave immediately. Operation aborted!

I repeat, operation aborted!

-Get out of there, do it. -Understood.

That's it, we're turning back.

[♪]

Why couldn't they save us, mom?

What's going to happen to us now?

They will try again, my beautiful girl.

They'll try again.

Don't worry.

I'm really thirsty.

You need to be a little patient, all right?

We can't ask anyone for water right now.

Be patient.

That's my girl. Everything will be fine.

[♪]

[man] Get down! Right now! Hurry up!

Move! Move!

[overlapping shouts]

-Come on, hurry. -Let's go! Keep walking!

That way! That way, come on! Go!

Sir, unfortunately the operation failed.

[minister] Are there any casualties?

We have one minor injury.

But we're about to ascertain

where the hostages have been relocated to.

We must rescue the hostages as soon as possible.

I know, sir.

It is the pride of our country.

I know, I'm aware of it, sir.

I'll make a new plan as soon as possible

and come to see you, sir.

I look forward to hearing your good news.

Yes, I understand, sir.

Sir, Ferec is on the line.

Ferec? Put him through now.

Put him through.

[conversation din]

Do not! Don't do such a thing! I mean it!

I thought these 49 people were very valuable to you?

We do not trust you.

Well, actually, after that operation,

it would have been fitting to show you

some execution videos, so you could see what we're capable of.

Look here. You do know if you do something like that,

we'll never enter a dialogue with you again, right?

Then, we'd have a different conversation.

[♪]

You already know our demands.

Make them happen.

And if you even think about carrying out another operation.

Rest assured, they will die.

Assalam aleykum.

What the hell!

[ominous music]

We found a new place where the hostages are being held.

It is being monitored from the ground around the clock.

Well, as it happens,

because of the suicide bombers,

there's no way we can do an operation like the first one.

On the other hand, it is absolutely

out of the question for us to accept any

of this organization's demands at all.

So as you see, we have a Gordian Knot on our hands.

We need to unravel this knot.

We will either find a way, or make a way.

Tomorrow, I have to submit a new plan

to rescue the hostages to the higher-ups.

Let's find this plan.

Understood?

Understood, sir.

[♪]

[♪]

[Sahra] They've been taken to the place

where the organization's concentrated.

Let's just go in like one of them.

Excuse me, am I bothering you?

-I'm thinking. -Huh.

We can get in, that's not the problem.

But how are we going to safely evacuate 49 people from there?

Good, at least one of you is listening to me.

I'm listening too, come on.

You said we can go in like one of them.

Mhm?

They took 49 people from us.

What if we took one person from them?

Someone they can't stand to lose.

-[officer] Welcome, sir. -[Ekrem] Thank you.

-Our plan is ready. -Let's hear it.

First, we will take control of the area

surrounding the building.

Second step, we'll use heavy stun gas,

Rendering the suicide bombers as incapacitated.

But won't the hostages be affected by this gas?

Yes, they will.

We performed such an operation in Georgia before.

I know. But we rescued two people there.

There are 49 people here.

Think about 49 unconscious people.

We did some practice simulations last night.

We'll go with enough men.

We can land a helicopter at the location.

So, what is the estimated success rate?

60 percent.

60 percent.

I see.

What have you got, Oguz?

Sir, listen. If our plan turns out to be successful,

they will give up the hostages themselves.

Until now, they made up the game and played to their own rules.

Now, I say, let's hit them with their own weapon.

In retaliation for the 49 people they took from us, let's take

one of the organization's most important.

Their second in command, Abu Ferec, sir.

Tell me.

It's a Yazidi town, sir.

And because they killed most of the Yazidis,

most of the houses on the outskirts are empty.

First, I'm gonna create a safe house for him.

Then, after hiding there for a few days with the target,

I will take the target out of town.

We can meet at the dump to transport the subject.

If you agree, Sahra can collect us from there.

In his town, Abu Ferec is better protected

than most presidents of state are.

How do you plan on picking him up in that town?

It can't be done with an operation, sir.

But if we're able to get someone to pretend to be on their side,

our chances are good.

[sighing]

Well, I know just the man.

I just read the intelligence reports.

His name is Brian Kovalski.

He is Belgian and his mother is Syrian.

He's wanted all over Europe.

He has been masked on all his operations.

His face has never been seen.

What for?

We have received intelligence that this man

is on his way to join the organization.

You will take his place.

[Oguz[ Understood, Sir.

Zeki, you contact the Turkmen forces.

I'll tell you the details later.

[Zeki] Yes, Sir.

-Selamun aleykum. -Abu Ustar?

Let me go! Let go!

-Dose him, hurry, hurry! -Hey, hey, get off me!

-Hurry! Put it in! -Let me go!

Let go-- help! Help!

[♪]

How did we miss this?

Uh, how are we going to recreate this tattoo ?

You can't go without the tattoo, it's too risky.

Actually, I have something in mind.

[haunting music]

[groaning]

Zeki, I will find you.

[panting]

You went to the bone, man.

Pay attention.

You've come here today,

from all over the world, to establish a new order,

and to proudly display

the banner of our righteous cause on this earth!

We are expanding our lands every single day,

and hundreds of our friends give their lives every day for us!

And even then, we blatantly laugh in the face of death.

-Takbir! -Allahu Akbar!

-Takbir! -Allahu Akbar!

-Takbir! -Allahu Akbar!

But our work is not yet done in this unholy world!

And that's why we have our rules!

And you will abide by these rules!

This is our brain!

This is our heart!

And you will abide by all of these rules!

Forget where you came from!

Your family's as good as gone!

Your passport.

-Where in Australia? -Gladstone.

That's nice.

What's your relationship

to the Sydney market explosion in 2005?

I planned it.

Now I remember you, my brother.

I've looked into those eyes before.

-Your name. -Abu Ustar.

No, the real one.

Brian Kovalski.

I remember you. I watched your videos.

You've always seen me like this.

Now, see me like this for a while.

Where have you been all this time? Tell me.

I've been in Europe.

After the attack in Brussels, I was forced to hide out there.

Welcome.

Thank you.

[distant gunfire]

A sin from the days when we served the heathen.

As I was coming here, I wanted to turn a new page.

Real good job.

Show them their jobs.

May Allah give us all success, my brothers.

Ameen!

Show them their quarters, then put them to work.

-Right, come on. -Right, we're going, let's go.

Come on, c'mon.

This is your room. Settle in, then come to the kitchen.

Thanks.

How are you, brother?

I am well, thankfully.

May you be well.

-Need anything? -Actually, I do.

[distant shouting]

Brother, if Allah allows,

we're going to have a celebration again.

Congratulations. Wedding or circumcision?

Circumcision. It'll be a mass circumcision.

We want to organize a nice celebration.

With food, music, lots of dancing.

All right, brother, don't worry. I'll make all the arrangements.

In that case, you also need a good circumciser.

Yes, of course.

How many children will there be? 15, 20?

Let's say more than 40.

All right, all right, I got it.

I'd better arrange for at least 10 circumcisers.

I will contact you about the when.

Do we know where?

We do, we do. It's arranged.

Good. Well, take it easy.

Well, thank you. Thank you. Take it easy.

[vehicle approaching]

Why does Ferec plant the explosives

on the truck himself?

'Cause he likes it that way.

He takes care of the trucks himself.

[moaning]

What is it?

Brother! [speaking other language]

What's wrong, brother?

Maybe we'll give him some air.

This man needs a doctor. A doctor is needed.

-Help here. -It's urgent!

Sir, it's okay.

It's all -- it's great. You're gonna be fine.

-You're gonna be fine. -[man gasping]

We're getting help.

[door mechanism clicking]

[man] Out of the way. Let's go.

Ustar!

Abu Ustar!

Didn't you hear me call your name?

Come here, brother, come here.

[faint chatter]

If you had told us in advance, we would have prepared for you.

Told what? I don't understand.

Oh, come now, don't be like that.

Look. My brother.

Your wife has come from so far away.

You have to keep her happy, right?

Then you will have many more.

Come on, say hello to her.

If we are to make this state strong,

first we must make the family strong.

You will give birth to many warriors for us,

so that where we fall, they will take up our weapons.

Our banner will gloriously fly forever!

Now,

who came to be the wife

of this valiant warrior, Abu Ustar?

Take one step forward.

Welcome, sister.

[woman] Abu Ustar.

Abu Ustar.

This isn't Abu Ustar, it's someone else.

I don't follow what she's saying.

I'm Abu Ustar.

Even though it was online,

I used to talk for hours with Abu Ustar.

He turned on his camera only for me.

I know every detail of Abu Ustar's face,

down to the hairs on his beard.

I don't know what's going on here,

but this man isn't Abu Ustar!

He's not.

Say my name.

What's my name?

-Say my name. -[crowd muttering]

Say it, what's my name?

Say it, say my name. What's my name?

As I said before, I don't know this woman.

Allahu akbar!

I want you to bring me that dog alive.

Come on!

[machine gun fire]

-Better get start-- - [speaking other language]

Go up!

See what's happening upstairs.

Butcher! What's going on up there?

Abu Ustar is a traitor. You must hide right away, sir.

We're looking for him. We'll find him,

but you need to hide.

Kill him. Find that bastard.

Bring me that traitor alive.

Hurry!

[♪]

[brakes creaking]

Time to wake up.

Get up.

[grunting]

You're wasting your time.

You will never get me out of this town.

We will see whether I can or whether I can't, won't we?

Let's go.

Get in. In.

-Chief. -Find out everything about it.

Oguz is on the line for you.

-Oguz. -Sir.

I've got the package.

I've already sent a photo for corroboration.

Excellent! Well done, my boy!

Of course you were successful.

But, I have some bad news. I've been made.

I need to get out of here immediately.

Okay, what's your status at the moment?

I've stabled him in the safe house.

But sooner or later, they will find this location.

I think the roads in and out of town have been blocked.

All right. Don't worry. Wait for my call.

Please be careful. Help is coming.

Understood.

[♪]

There's some kind of ruckus,

but I can't figure out what's happening.

I swear, I don't know, sister.

[♪]

[bird cawing]

It's nothing serious.

He should get some rest, and lots of fluids.

If he takes this medication, he'll feel better.

I wrote how to use the medication inside.

[door creaking, closing]

[suspenseful music]

It says to wait for the red mask.

They're on their way.

Red mask.

[hopeful music]

[phone buzzing]

-Sir. -Zeki, what's your status?

It's developing faster than I expected.

Listen to me, the operation began early.

Move up your celebration. Take your position

and wait for my instructions, all right?

Let Sahra know too.

Yes, sir. Understood.

Brother, how's it going?

Yes, yes. We've moved up the celebration.

The musicians are ready, aren't they?

Ah, that's great, that's great.

We want them to play every genre, brother.

Domestic, foreign, mixed. All right?

Thanks, my brother.

You're the best. Thanks.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you.

Maybe I should go

into the event planning business when I retire.

Well, it's really good work. Yeah, I swear it is.

Sir, we have contact.

The militant, codenamed Butcher, is on the line.

-Is he next in command? -He has command.

Okay, video link me to him right now. Come on.

Yes, sir. Right now.

[♪]

Should I call you Butcher or by your name, Johnny?

What do you prefer? Or maybe both names together,

Or both together, Butcher Johnny.

The lives of 49 people

are solely at my mercy. Do you understand?

All right, so you're saying let's get straight to the point.

Okay, then, first, take a look at this.

Zeynep, send the photo.

Yes, sir.

Did you get a good look?

There are some things that are at our mercy.

As you can see, we have your commander Ferec.

If we get the hostages back safe and sound,

you'll get Ferec the same way.

If it were up to me, I would have cut them to pieces.

But I, too, am a servant of order.

My offer is open and clear.

Give us the hostages, get Ferec.

Now, go speak to whomever you need,

your boss or your subordinate, do whatever you need,

and let me know as soon as possible.

Ferec is here, in town.

You're going to scour the whole town

and turn it upside down!

You will bring Ferec to me with that traitor! Quick!

[static]

[grunting]

[♪]

[young man] Yes, sir, I'm listening.

[Butcher] Listen carefully.

They've kidnapped Ferec.

If something happens to him,

you're going to have to kill all the hostages.

Stand by and wait for my orders.

Understood, sir.

Raise your weapons.

Everyone be ready!

What's going on, brother?

They fed the bullets into the chambers of the guns.

We've somehow managed so far.

If we come to the end, even though we are unarmed,

we will go down fighting.

Yes, that's right, brother.

[♪]

[weeping]

[grunting]

[men shouting]

[man] Move along, keep going.

-Shh. Keep moving, keep moving. -Yes, sir.

Hey, can I use it, brother?

Not there, here.

Come on, come on, come on.

As an agency, we're sorry we couldn't provide

a more luxurious environment.

You'll have to make do.

[♪]

If you are smart, you'll live a long life.

Keep your head down.

Down!

Dirtbag.

[♪]

Okay, go.

Get out of the car. Come on.

-Selamun aleykum. -Aleykum salam.

I'm taking the trash to the dump site, okay to go through?

All the cars are being searched. Butcher has orders.

Come on. Can't you see the car is full of garbage?

Brother, the situation is very very serious.

Ferec is missing, a traitor has infiltrated us.

The Butcher gave strict orders.

Everyone, every vehicle will be searched thoroughly.

No one will leave town without an urgency.

You will wait your turn. They'll let you pass soon.

After all, you are serving the public.

Got it brother, thanks.

[♪]

[speaking other language]

Listen. Keep your head down.

If you make a sound, we'll both die.

So start walking. All right?

Walk. Head down.

[♪]

[speaking other language]

There's no reception. Dammit!

[horn honking]

What happened with the driver?

What's going on here?

-Why is everyone honking? -We're looking for the driver.

He just disappeared.

How long has this truck been here?

Must be something like 20 minutes.

I finished searching the cars in front,

and then I noticed this one was just sitting here.

Door guard. This is Butcher.

Have you seen any vehicles in your vicinity?

No vehicles have entered.

Only a garbage truck pulled over to the garbage dump.

They're probably junk dealers from the city.

Don't take your eyes off of that truck.

Let me know its location, alright?

Don't leave this place unattended.

Look here, follow me with the truck.

You, follow me.

We're heading to the trash pit!

[♪]

[soldier] They said we're gonna meet by the village.

[gunshots]

On your knees.

[grunting]

[Sahra] C'mon, Oguz, hurry up.

[phone buzzing]

Couldn't you find a bigger vehicle than that?

It's not me in the truck, get out of there.

[Sahra] What? It's not you in the truck?

[Oguz] It's not, get out of there!

[♪]

[car starting]

[gun clicking]

[gunshots]

[gunshots]

[gunshot]

[gunshots]

Shh.

Don't you dare.

Don't you dare.

No, Sahra.

Come on.

[laughing]

Take her to my car.

[man] Come on, get up.

Go on.

[music building]

Come on. Get in the car, go, go, go.

[♪]

[phone buzzing]

Sir, they've got Sahra.

Oguz, move to the north of town, right away.

Do you hear me?

But they've got Sahra, sir.

Don't worry about Sahra. We'll take care of her.

That is not your concern.

Make your way north as soon as you can.

If you leave right away, you could have a chance.

Now, now! Oguz, I've given you your mission.

Continue the mission. Continue the mission.

Straight north. Do you hear me?

I said, straight north.

Oguz!

Oguz!

Oguz, please, don't do this, don't! Don't!

I'm not buying it, do you understand?

Don't, I know you can hear me.

Look, I'm telling you, go north.

Do you hear me?

There is no reception, I can't hear you.

Don't do it. Don't, damnit!

Oguz, don't do this, man.

Don't! Damnit, just follow orders.

[Oguz] Start walking.

Walk.

-Mustafa. -Yes, Sir.

Inform Special Forces. Have them be ready.

If things go for the worse,

our fist needs to come down hard on them.

Absolutely, sir.

Oguz, man.

[♪]

Now listen, we embarked on this road to die or to kill.

But the truth is...

Do you know what the truth is?

I was indeed a really good butcher.

Well, a good butcher and an excellent cook.

In my previous life.

Such ignorance.

May Allah forgive all my sins.

I would make such delicious pork ribs

that people would stand in line and they would lick their fingers.

O Allah, forgive my sins, O Lord.

Go ahead, eat!

Take a bite! Huh.

How is it?

It's good, isn't it? Real good.

[laughs]

Look!

Look! Don't underestimate a woman, huh!

She's well trained.

Now, is she eating because she's hungry? No.

She'll eat whatever we give her.

Because why?

She needs to be strong and resilient

to withstand the interrogation.

Ah!

Listen, woman.

I don't have any habit of getting along with prisoners,

nor have I the time to play good cop, bad cop.

I'll just cut to the chase and torture you.

Now, let's find one of your weak spots, huh?

Eyes.

Eyes. No, that's not it.

Is it the lips? Oh, yeah.

Let's try that.

Oh, in that case let's go a little lower, huh?

Huh? Oh, very nice.

Very nice.

But first I want to land a little kiss on your pretty shoulder!

Go ahead.

Go ahead, scream!

Go ahead, I want to hear you moan.

Scream!

Scream, do it!

What were you doing at that dump?

How many of you are there in town?

Where is Ferec?

I don't know.

I don't know anything.

I went to the dump to look for junk. I don't know anything.

[whimpering]

So, you want to take the difficult route, is that it?

Okay. All right.

All right. All right. I understand.

Look woman,

there are only two ways you get out of here, get it?

Either you give me what I want and out in one piece,

or your head will be separated from your body!

Do you understand that? Huh?

[whimpering]

[soldier] It was about ten in the morning when we left...

I see.

Selamun aleykum, brother.

Go on in, the soup is still warm.

[man] Where is Ferec?

[muffled yelling]

I was just leaving, but I saved you some soup.

Do you have anything clean to put it in?

I've no clean cups or bowls left.

I've got my own, don't worry about it.

It's really late, why don't you take off.

-I'll take these to the kitchen. -That would be great, thanks.

You know, it's shameful to brag about it but I snagged

a beautiful slave at the market today. She 16 at best.

I didn't even get a chance to touch her, brother.

It's a real shame. Well, what the hell.

[♪]

You think this is a game, is that it?

Go ahead, scream!

Now! C'mon!

Tell me, where is he?

[sobbing]

Look, woman.

If you don't give me what I want

I will make that beautiful face of yours

unrecognizable, do you understand?

I don't know anything.

We are junk dealers, I don't know anything.

I get it, woman. You are going to make me work.

All right.

But I don't have time.

Now, I'm going to have ten of my men come right in here.

And do you know what I'm going to do?

I'm going to establish one rule.

They aren't going to kill you, but they can do whatever they like.

Do you understand?

I will be back in one hour to see

if you've changed your mind or not.

Selamun aleykum.

The cook sent me. Someone asked for soup.

What do you mean?

We didn't ask for soup.

For Allah's sake?

So no one asked for soup?

Are you kidding us? Nobody asked for that! Huh?

[gunshots]

[grunting]

[grunting]

[♪]

[grunting]

[clattering]

I knew you would come.

Would I leave you to these animals?

Over there.

Do you have Ferec?

I've got the package.

Don't worry.

-[moans] -Shh.

-Are you okay? -Let's go.

-Can you walk? -[Sahra] Let's go.

Here. Take this.

[♪]

[door opening]

Come. Sit over here.

Let me take a look.

It's all right.

It's going to be all right.

[♪]

Does it hurt?

I'm dealing with it.

Clench your jaw.

It's gonna hurt.

[moaning]

It's over.

Welcome to the club.

What?

Welcome to what?

Well, within the agency, we created a secret club.

We only include field agents who have survived

interrogation under torture.

It's a secret.

Nobody knows.

This must be a new establishment.

I never heard of it.

It's not official.

I told you, it's a secret.

Secret.

So, now, I'm in it, is that it?

Of course, you are.

Besides...

you are the only female member in it.

-There are no other women. -All right.

If I may ask,

what happens when you get into this club?

Actually, not much.

But on the other hand, it kinda does.

We sit and talk about the secrets

that we don't talk to anyone else about,

that no one else knows about, not our friends,

not even our families...

Actually it's a club where those who never like to speak

speak to their heart's content.

So, it's a secret.

Is that it?

Of course it's a secret, that's the idea.

Listen, they say that rust rots iron and secrets rot the soul.

Is it a lie?

I distracted you by telling you about my secret club,

and you forgot your pain.

That's true, but I wish you hadn't reminded me.

It will pass.

It will, honestly.

[soft piano music]

Sir, Oguz is on the line.

Oguz.

Hello, Sir, I've got Sahra.

She's safe.

[Ekrem] Oh yes! Thank the Lord!

Please tell me you're all safe.

-We are. -[Ekrem] Good.

I see the phone is better too.

I'm glad you were able to fix it.

Sir, it does this every now and then.

I have to get a new one when I'm back.

[Ekrem] Get the hell out of here!

I've been down that road long before you.

Whatever, this issue is not closed,

we'll talk about it later.

The town is in upheaval, do you think you will be able to get out?

I'll be out in a half hour at most.

Let's continue our plan from where we left it.

That is of course, if your surprise is ready.

It's ready. Everything is ready.

Continue with the plan. Is that clear?

Yes, Sir. Got it.

Are you thirsty?

I'll get you a drink.

[tense music]

[grunting]

[panting]

[♪]

[car engine whirring]

[soldiers speaking indistinctly]

[gunshots]

Down, down, down.

Walk.

I said, walk.

C'mon, c'mon, hurry.

Go to that vehicle. Check if it has fuel.

All right. Go, go.

Go!

Get in.

[muffled speaking]

I'll put a bullet in your brain if you don't stop moving around.

[tense music]

[muffled] Ungag me.

Come on! Do it!

Ungag me.

Do it.

Listen to me,

what are they going to pay you?

So, it's come to that, huh?

To how much I make.

Why do you ask?

You'll double it?

Double, triple, quadruple, whatever you want.

And then I'm going to help you, is that it?

Uh huh.

I'm going to help you buy and sell women

like property and enslave them, am I?

Look, I know there we have some wrong practices right now.

But when our state fully establishes its order,

women will be all right.

Really. Honest.

[♪]

Look at me. Don't raise your head.

He might be an officer, I'm not.

I have neither a supervisor nor a manager.

If you keep talking and get on my nerves,

I'll empty the magazine in your head. Get inside.

-Shut up. -All right.

-Get inside and shut up. -All right, all right.

[car engine whirring]

Out of the way.

[car door closing]

There's a dead one here.

[soldier] What happened? Who shot them?

Sahra, you better hold on.

[gunshots]

[tires screeching]

[soldier] Buddy, let's go!

Block the road, go, go!

They're heading your way. Block the road!

[overlapping yelling]

[♪]

[excited chatter]

Everybody, quiet.

Everyone listen here!

Listen!

What's the number of the truck they took?

I saw it, they're in number 6.

Ferec had cell phones placed in all the trucks

in case our brother,

the suicide bomber driving the truck,

succumbed to his ego.

I have all the numbers.

We're gonna call that phone and blow up the truck!

Ferec might be there too, brother.

These lands must be irrigated not only with enemy blood,

but if it's necessary, also with our blood.

[car engine whirring]

[gunshots]

[Oguz] Keep your heads down! Your heads down!

Hold on tight.

[clattering]

[gunshots]

[♪]

[indistinct yelling]

If he was destined to be so,

Ferec will become a martyr.

[ringing]

[soldier] Here we go.

[explosion]

Allahu Akbar!

Allahu Akbar!

Allahu Akbar!

There has been an explosion.

Let's just say a little surprise from us to them.

I changed the telephones.

[♪]

Allahu Akbar!

-Allahu Akbar! -Be quiet.

Allahu Akbar!

He fooled us, brother, he changed the telephones!

Our trucks are gone! Ferec is gone!

-[soldier 1] Where is he? -Where is he?

[soldier 2] Why are we doing this?

All right, that's enough! Enough!

Shut up already. This can't be.

Come to your senses! This can't be.

All right. This was his destiny.

[grunts]

And so was your destiny.

You will die and Ferec will live.

Ferec's time to die is not now.

This is a clear sign!

What do we do now, Butcher?

If they choose not to give us back our commander,

then we're going to execute all the hostages.

-Takbir! -Allahu Akbar!

Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar!

C'mon.

[♪]

[♪]

[Sahra] Get down.

Walk.

Walk!

-[phone buzzing] -Go ahead.

[Oguz] Sir, we are at the delivery point.

All right, Oguz, I've arrived. Wait for my instructions.

Understood.

[Sahra] Sit.

Get down.

[♪]

[phone buzzing]

I'm listening.

There is a bridge about six kilometers

from the factory where you're keeping the hostages.

Ferec is waiting for you at that bridge.

You're going to bring all the hostages

to the bridge in a bus.

Then you are going to send us the bus,

we're going to send you Ferec. Do you understand?

Good.

I'll call you back on this number

when the hostages are ready to be exchanged.

[♪]

Listen to me.

And listen carefully, all right?

Drive the bus into the factory hangar.

Get all the hostages on the bus.

Tell them they're being saved.

That our wishes have been met,

and that they will be delivered to Turkey freely and safely.

Let them rejoice.

Show them a smile.

Let them rejoice in peace.

Record everything.

Record every second of it.

Send the video to me.

The bus has moved, sir.

The connection is ready, sir.

Put him through.

This is Butcher, the hostages are on their way.

They're about to get to the bridge.

How are the hostages doing?

Why don't you see for yourself.

[♪]

Tell Zeki to take his position.

Yes, Sir. Right away.

Eagle, take your position.

[tense music]

[suspenseful music]

[♪]

Sahra.

Walk.

Move.

Come on, walk.

[Ekrem] All right, I need everyone sharp, you hear?

Keep your eyes open. We've made it this far. Let's finish this now.

Let's do this.

[♪]

[cell phone buzzing]

Focus. We're starting.

We're doing this, son. Good luck.

Thank you, sir.

[♪]

[♪]

Send Commander Ferec!

Send the bus this way.

[engine starting]

[♪]

[Ferec] Record everything. Every second.

Then stop the recording, lock them all up again.

[man] You can't do this.

[♪]

[Ferec] You will kill them all

when either Commander Ferec or I give you the order.

On live broadcast.

Be prepared, brothers.

Our mission is larger than life.

-[speaking Arabic] -[all] Allahu akbar! Allahu akbar! Allahu akbar!

Sahra.

[♪]

-Zeki. Operation is a go. In Allah's name. -[Zeki] Yes, sir.

[tense music]

It's the Red Mask.

It is the Red Mask. It is, it is.

[hushed] Heads up. They're here.

Everyone needs to remain still.

My brother.

[hushed] It's the Red Mask.

[Zeki] You're early.

There's still two hours.

[♪]

[exclaims]

[intense music]

Untie each other. Be ready. I'll come for you.

All right. Stand back! Stand back!

-There's a bomb! Get back, now! -Stay back!

Here. Bring everyone else.

[♪]

[suspenseful music]

Commander Ferec!

Commander Ferec!

[♪]

Commander Ferec! Get down!

[gunfire]

[Oguz] Shit.

Sahra, they're on this side.

[gunfire]

Give me your knife. Give me your knife!

[gunfire continues]

They probably started cutting the hostages.

-Let's not miss it. -Hell no.

All of this needs to end today.

Kill them both.

I order you to kill them both, you hear?

[Oguz] We have to get out of here. Hurry!

Zeki has the hostages, sir. They're evacuating.

-No casualties. -Good, very good.

Very good.

Sahra, follow me.

They're getting away!

It's gonna be okay.

[Ferec on phone] Kill all the hostages.

I want them all gone!

You're too late. We have the hostages.

We're about to cross the border.

You didn't know it,

Sahra? Sahra.

Sahra, Sahra.

Sahra?

All right, all right. Okay.

You've seen wounds like these before.

It's nothing, right?

All right.

It'll be okay. Don't worry.

-You'll be fine. -If Allah wills it.

made it to the club...

I can tell you my secret.

Of course you did. Tell me.

So, does your doll have a name?

Hmm. My mother just gave her to me.

I haven't named her yet.

Are there any names that you like?

There's one.

Shall we name her Sahra?

[girl] I really like that. Her name will be Sahra.
