Don't move.

Don't move. Don't move.

-Calm down, calm down. -Don't move!

He's here!

Up! Up!

I'm getting up.

Stay calm.

Easy, okay?

Easy.

THE UNIT: KABUL

It's time to leave! Everyone out! Come on, quick!

Come on, quick, please.

-Come on, quickly. Please, vacate! -People, we must vacate.

-Come on, quick! Quick, we're leaving. -Let's go! Let's go!

-We have to leave. -Sara, Sara.

-Hurry, we're leaving. -Come on!

-Come on, come on. -Let's go!

Carla, Carla.

We have to get out of here now. Let's go.

Let's go! Everybody, get into the cars.

We have five kilometers to the airport, gentlemen!

Eyes wide open!

Roger that. We're on our way.

It has healed nicely.

Antibiotics and two rest days.

Did you hear me?

You're going home tomorrow or the day after.

My colleague Jamil will explain what you have to do.

Above all, you must keep the wound clean.

Jamil?

Can I see your hand?

Does it hurt?

She says it hurts a lot. She still can't close her hand.

I'm afraid she has cut her tendons.

If you want to regain mobility, we will have to operate.

If not, you will have to learn to use your right hand.

If she undergoes surgery, will she fully recover?

Excuse me.

-Darya? -Mom, can you hear me?

-Darya, I'm working. -They've come to school!

-I don't know what's going on! -Darya?

-Mother! -Darya!

Is everything okay?

-Jamil, can I use your phone? -Yeah, sure.

Here you are.

-It's dead. -I don't have a line either.

There's no service.

My God! What happened?

They have entered the city! Where's the army?

I'll go find my daughter!

What happened?

The Taliban...

-The Taliban are here! -Have you seen Darya?

Darya?

Darya?

Darya?

Open up, Mina! Open up, Mina!

-Mina, Mina! -What's going on?

Darya's gone, something happened. Tell your husband to help me.

Calm down, Fazela. Darya is with Fahima. They got here a while ago.

They're in the room.

Come on in.

I wanted to go to the hospital to see you,

but dad wouldn't let me.

-May God give you health. -May God give you health.

-Where is Ramin? -He must be at the factory.

I'll get the girls.

Your husband said the Taliban wouldn't arrive so soon.

That they would make a pact with the government.

I don't know, Dad. I don't know what happened.

-Hello, Mom. -Hello, how are you?

I'm fine. Those bastards have canceled our training.

-But they didn't hurt you. -No, no.

They want us to give up training forever.

-They said it's over. -That doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter? Of course it does!

Darya, take it easy. We'll talk later.

Daughter, what will happen to us?

It's okay, Mom.

Let's go.

ABBEY GATE. KABUL AIRPORT

Gentlemen, this is the airport's military zone.

It is the safest area. However, let's be very careful, please.

The Taliban have just taken over the civilian airport.

No airplane is big enough to fit all these people.

Madrid wants to get us out in 24 hours.

Let's see where they settle us in the meantime.

Are we all here?

We have rooms from 34 to 42.

Alright? The toilettes are here,

and now I'll show you to your rooms, okay?

Move on. This way, thank you.

Well, I guess they told you, already.

You're going to Pakistan.

People at the NIC over there knows it all.

-You're not coming? -I'm going back to Madrid.

I need you here to contact your informants.

-I don't know the place. -Carla,

there's nothing else I can do here. Look, it's all ruined.

They will help you in Islamabad.

Very well.

We'll see.

Come on!

Where? Where are we going?

Massoud! Massoud.

Miriam, do as they tell you, okay? Everything.

Okay, okay.

Are you okay?

Sit down! Sit down!

Are you okay? Are you okay?

What's happening?

They're Russian hostages. They'll make a video

-asking for money. -Okay.

Okay. Will the Taliban do the same with us?

They're not Taliban. They are Mujahideen warlords.

Miriam, listen, do as they tell you, okay?

Trust me.

-Easy. -Okay.

-Sit down! -Marcos is missing.

Where's Marcos?

-Where's Marcos? Where is he? -Miriam...

-Where's Marcos? -Miriam... Shut up!

-Where's Marcos? -Miriam!

-Where's Marcos? -Miriam, you'll get us killed!

-Where's Marcos? -Miriam! Easy! You'll get us killed!

-Where's Marcos? -Easy.

-Where's our partner? -Easy...

Your partner has gone to hell.

What did he say? What happened?

-What's going on? -He's dead.

They've killed him.

Start recording.

Please, we have been kidnapped by the Mujahideen.

We ask the Russian Government...

Please, pay the ransom

and get us out of here.

Otherwise, they'll kill us.

Kill them.

This is what we do to the enemies of Allah in Afghanistan.

You keep your promise,

and I'll send you your men.

Are you going to work today, Mom?

Yes, I'm going to the hospital.

Are you sure?

We have lots of patients.

The signal is back!

Any messages from Dad?

Nothing.

Call the police, then!

They're not answering.

What about the Spaniards?

The embassy won't answer either.

Darya, my child,

don't worry about your father.

He can take care of himself.

He will call us soon.

With everything that's going on,

he must have stayed up north.

Okay.

-What are you doing? -I'm going to work.

-When did you get that? -It's mine.

-Mom, you can't wear that. -It's the safest thing now.

I don't want to have any problems.

-But Mom, that's giving in! -Stop it, Darya.

I don't understand how you can still wear a burqa!

You've always been against it!

These are the Taliban. This is the safest option.

-It's being a coward! -Darya, I'm going to work.

You'll stay at home today.

I don't want you to go out, okay?

-Fine. -I'm going to work.

Don't tell Grandpa, okay? See you later.

Did you hear?

See you at noon, in front of the school.

Stop right there. Boss.

Where are you going?

I work here.

Are you a nurse?

I'm a physician. Don't you know how to read?

I can read. Learn to speak with respect.

Go!

Why is this on the floor? Take it to the kitchens, now!

Hey! Are you listening?

How fast they change! They won't even listen to me.

Who are you? Why are you here?

-This is Hazrat Gol. -What are you doing here?

Go to the nurses' station.

-Didn't you hear me? -This is my office.

-Not anymore. I'm the boss. -Who decided this, Jamil?

We have a new committee since last night.

Go to the nurses' station. Jamil will assign you your new tasks.

I don't have experience. She's been working here for years.

What about you? What experience do you have?

Me? I've been defending my country for many years.

While you lived here, with the foreigners.

You are Shia, right?

What's going on?

They are kicking the men out. Only women are allowed in here.

-Have you seen the new boss? -Yes. I can't believe this.

He was a nurse in Herat, left very young with the Taliban.

And he's our boss now.

We're understaffed, they can't kick us out.

Many women haven't dared to come.

I hope so.

Have you heard from Massoud yet?

I haven't heard from him.

-The embassy will call you. -The Spaniards have already left.

-My husband is not a problem for them. -Doctor!

There's an injured person from the demonstration

and they won't let us take care of him.

What's his What's the kid's name?

Why don't you do anything?

-They told me not to touch him! -Get away from him!

-He has a bullet hole! -Go!

-He needs surgery now. He'll die! -Get out!

-We have to take him to surgery now! -Go away!

-He will die! -Don't touch him!

-He's going to die! -Out!

He's going to die.

Do as I say, okay?

Come, Fazela. I'm going to call Jamil.

Come, Fazela.

Fazela, come. Come.

Come.

-Food! Work! Freedom! -Food! Work! Freedom!

Education is our right!

-Education is our right! -Easy, easy!

-Food! Work! Freedom! -Food! Work! Freedom!

-Education is our right! -Shut up!

Education is our right!

-Food! Work! Freedom! -Food! Work! Freedom!

-Education is our right! -Education is our right!

-Food! Work! Freedom! -Food! Work! Freedom!

-Education is our right! -Education is our right!

-Food! Work! Freedom! -Food! Work! Freedom!

-Education is our right! -Education is our right!

Is this it? There aren't many people here.

Impossible. Maybe it's too early.

Right?

We'd better go home.

Let's go, come on.

A new list from Madrid.

I'll print it, okay? See you later.

Please, grab a tray for me, okay? Thank you very much.

Raúl?

-Yes, but this is not a good time. -Cultural attaché, right?

Are you working with your informants for after the retreat?

What?

Excuse me, but...

I'm just wondering how this works.

Olmedo works for you, but he acts like your boss?

Or is he just a bait and he's not even from the NIC?

-What the fuck do you care? -I don't have time for your shenanigans.

Well, okay.

We had to take this measure because external embassy staff...

They could be in touch with the Taliban.

-Okay. -Olmedo told you everything we know.

The informants are afraid.

They just want to be put on a list and sent to Spain.

We don't have an official contact with the new Taliban government.

As long as it was the Taliban.

Look, this is happening.

We're leaving right away. We will not manage this from here.

We're not getting out of here in 24 or 48 hours.

We have to help a lot of people.

I know well that you won't abandon your informants.

Every minute is important to me.

You must have some friends within the new Taliban Police.

-I'll be honest with you. -Okay.

I'm working to get someone in. An officer who has switched sides.

-I'll talk to him. -No. He's very valuable to me.

I won't take any risk. He'll let me know if he knows something.

I thought we were in this together.

You use your source, and I keep my mouth shut.

About your activity, I mean.

Don't do this.

My partners and my daughter's father are out there now.

I'll do what I have to.

Tell him there'll be a reward if he comes to see me.

Okay?

-A list from Madrid. -Great.

We keep going forward.

-Thanks. -We'll get to it. Thanks.

Got it.

Gentlemen, we're leaving!

Yes, tell me.

You have 15 minutes, move fast.

Okay, thank you.

Gentlemen, we have 15 minutes and 15 people to rescue.

We know the procedure.

We'll raise the flag, we'll see who raises the red and yellow rags

and we'll rescue them.

Then, we check the identities.

If everything's okay, they're in, if not, they stay.

-Copy! -Let's go!

Raise the flag!

Spaniards!

Tell me, Manuel.

Spaniards!

Spain only!

Hold the line.

Hold him, hold him!

Hold the line.

Stand firm, team.

-Two minutes. -I'm missing two.

Two minutes

Okay.

-Gentlemen, two more minutes. Copy? -Copy!

Open up, open up!

Stop right there! Name.

-Mateen. -Mateen?

Mateen, come in.

Documents.

Easy, easy.

New list. We've got 23, now.

-Okay, we'll keep searching. -Thank you.

I have a new list.

Okay, let's go.

This way, please, this way. First, we'll check your identity, okay?

We need to make sure that your ID is correct first. Okay?

Let's move on, please.

-Matin -Okay, Matin

You need medical assistance. Please, come with me to the nursing room.

I'll be right back.

Sorry.

Thanks for your cooperation.

I don't know anything about your partners, there's no trace.

What could have happened to them?

If no one has asked you for a ransom,

it's because they don't want you to know what happened.

Or the kidnappers may have the same problems contacting us

as we have contacting them.

The situation is chaotic.

We need to deliver the following message:

"We're looking for three missing Spanish journalists near Chahyab.

if anyone knows anything, here's a direct communication channel."

Let's not mention the kidnapping, okay?

If they contact us, you'll get a good reward, of course.

No funny business. We want a proof of life before we pay.

You aren't the only ones looking for your colleagues in Chahyab.

Who's on it?

The Russians have been asking questions, but they've solved things.

I don't know anything else.

Okay, now go back to the camp.

Pretend you're sick tonight. A GEO will take you to the infirmary

and then take you out.

I know, Carla. You want to meet the Russians. Okay.

Please, pay the ransom and get us out of here.

Otherwise, they'll kill us.

There they are. But there's one man missing.

We told you that we hadn't identified the other hostages.

They sent the video yesterday to an agent of ours in Herat.

We have 48 hours to deliver the money.

One million euros per hostage.

And Pakistani documents and vehicles to cross the border.

Who's the one speaking?

Idris Mullah, a warlord.

A northern chieftain, a declared enemy of the Taliban.

The hostages are his insurance to leave the country.

We need to talk to him.

We want to deal with our fellow countrymen's situation.

Tell them that the three other hostages

are Spanish journalists and their local companion.

We will listen to their requests.

How will you help your hostages?

We won't accept their request.

Idris is a declared enemy of the Taliban.

They're looking for him. And if they find out

that we're helping him flee the country,

there would be consequences.

But you won't let him execute your countrymen, right?

We care about our citizens.

But we need time to assess the consequences.

Okay. You're not doing anything officially,

but I want you to know that the company I work for

will pay anything to bring the Spaniards back alive.

Once again, lady.

The Russian government won't negotiate with terrorists.

The payment will be immediate.

Is that a yes or a no? Everything's too Russian.

Calm down, calm down. We need some time.

There's no time.

"We care about our citizens."

He's saying that, in spite of everything,

they're negotiating with the kidnappers.

They've asked for more time. That's good.

They have a way to talk to them, you know?

Yes, but they won't share it.

They are secret services, you know how they are.

You did it well.

The message was clear, they'll get back to us.

Why isn't Marcos in the video?

This is a negotiation, Carla.

Maybe they're hiding him in case they need him later.

We have to wait now.

Is this yours? Yeah?

Hi! What is your name?

Satash.

Satash... It's beautiful.

I like him.

Easy.

I'm leaving, okay?

Don't worry.

-Dad! Someone's here! -Stop it!

A thief! Catch him!

Catch him!

Who is this? He's a thief, he's taking our cheeses.

I don't know, he looks like a thief.

-Where did he come from? -I'm sorry.

He has our cheese. What are you doing here?

I'm not a thief.

I'm... I'm a journalist!

A journalist.

From Spain! Spain.

I'm from Spain.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I have been in the desert for days.

I was very hungry.

Please.

Please.

Please.

-Carla? -That's me.

I've been told that you have a problem up north.

I run a private security company.

You can easily check our credentials.

Will you pay the ransom for the Russian hostages?

I understand that there are more people there.

Three Spanish journalists. Two women, and one man.

And their Afghan companion.

The video only shows the two women and the Afghan.

There's a man. We haven't seen him. He must be wounded.

You have to be ready to deal with an injured person.

The conditions...

Idris has demanded one million per hostage.

And my company's fee: Three million per hostage.

-The Afghan too? -Yes.

Payment in advance.

To this account.

We'll do it in two days.

I want to stay informed.

Are you okay?

No.

We're screwed, right?

I just...

I've been thinking.

Maybe you think it's crazy, but it makes sense. Okay, Najwa?

Until I see Marcos' body, I won't believe it.

I don't believe they murdered him, it doesn't make sense.

-Marcos is dead. -Listen to me.

-They need the money. -He's gone.

No! Listen, they need the money.

Right? More people means more money.

It's nonsense. They don't have the body...

-It's just... -No, Miriam, no.

-This is not Spain. -I know.

This is Afghanistan.

Yeah, I know.

Do you know how things work here?

-Yes, sure. -Can't you see it, then?

-Of course, but... -Miriam!

They kill children and women here. You've seen that.

Yeah, but listen to me, Najwa.

We're Westerners and they need the money.

-For us. -No, Miriam.

We have dollar signs in our faces!

-They need us! -This...

They need us alive.

No. It's not like that.

What is it like, then? Why are we here?

Why are we here? Tell me why the fuck are we here!

It's over.

No, it's not over!

-On my daughter's name! -It's over.

I swear this is not over.

I hope so.

Let's go.

Go, go.

Okay, okay. Don't touch me!

Yes, yes, I know who they are.

Chechen former military.

They used to work for the Portuguese in the past.

I need to unlock the payment, Manuel.

Four million and twelve million for MUD.

I need to get it approved,

but this is our priority.

It has to be tonight.

I'll do my best.

We'll make the payment through your company.

Tell your people to be prepared to send the money to MUD.

I'll call you, Carla.

I know what to do with them if the money doesn't come.

-What's going on? -I don't know, they're nervous.

They will make a video.

He says they're not listening to him. The Russians asked him for more time.

But he says when.

Come on, hang her.

-No, no, no! -Miriam, Miriam!

Easy, okay? It's just a video, they won't hurt her.

-Tell them to let her go. -It's just a video.

-It's not just a video! -They won't hurt her.

They just want to get paid!

-No, no! -Relax!

-No, no! -It's just for the ransom!

-No! -Please! Please!

-No! -Please!

-Stop it! -Please!

-Here! -Miriam! Watch out!

-Stop! -Don't hurt her, please!

-Stop, son of a bitch! -Miriam!

Miriam, stop it!

Miriam!

-Stop! -Please, let her go!

-Stop! Stop it, motherfuckers! -Please, please! Miriam, Miriam!

Stop!

Son of a bitch!

Son of a bitch!
