Regards Waalaikum Warohmatullohi Wabarokatuh.

Greetings to all members of the Shura

He has not killed her!

Many of our brethren think you do not deserve their trust

How can I prove myself?

I leave judgement to 'The Almighty'...

I remain a faithful servant of Shura...

Remind him of the prostitute he spent time with in London...

Women are a weakness of the west...

is it not possible...

that if a woman is destined to die, is it not the will of God?

I am very disappointed in you!

Is it me, or are there too many for us? There aren't enough of us!

Shut up, Tic-Tac.. How many & where are they?

There is only one house with any fortification & bars on the windows...

if they're anywhere in this holiday club... it's in that bungalow!

Movement at 3 o'clock...

What are they doing?

Don't move!

What do I do?

Don't shoot...

Why?

We're not here for that!

Understood...

Move!

Elias, do you hear us?

Yes...

On the count of 3...

Safe!

Safe!

It's them!

French troops... We've come to get you!

Turn over...

Time to go... they know we're here!

Back!

Heads down... down!

Next...

I'm good... everything's fine... I'm good!

Find cover!

They're coming from all directions!

At the rear...

Move!

Elias... go!

If you can hear me... go!

No... I will hold up until they arrive...

What happened here?

Zaef... Commandos came to free them!

We lost the 2 bags with the PRC's...

This one is dead...

The helicopter will come anyway...

Show me your arm...

You take care of her...

Everything will be OK... relax...

You will follow me & stay close...

Hold on to my backpack... Agreed?

OK... good...

Take my hand...

Thank you...

Let's go...

Try to tighten it again & I'll knock you out...

Take cover behind the rocks...

A lot of enemy out there! GPS?

36 North, 72 East...

We can skirt them if we take the route behind the mountains...

We won't be in time for the rendezvous point...

& the emergency signal?

The Taliban can also trace it!

I think they've already traced our signal...

You go ahead with Marius...

Where are we going? I'll explain it later, we have to move!

Look who's here!

It seems he's got some new friends!

Damn... the whole army!

Run my friend!

What's he doing? Making them angry...

Let's play!

Wait... wait...

Now!

I don't know why, but I hesitate more & more every time I have to press a button...

It's all in the head... I must discuss it with my shrink...

Shut up & do it Captain!

Marius...

May I help you?

I'll change your bandages...

You'll have to sew it...

Of course!

22km to the extraction point... & we're In the arsehole of nowhere!

Watch the language... There's a lady with us!

Sorry, I shouldn't be so emotional...

It remind's me... I'm not very good with a needle!

Are you ready?

You all right?

Good... all right!

We've a distress signal...

20km from the extraction point...

Are they moving?

Negative...

We're a half an hour from our trackers...

Helicopters?

Even if they got our signal, they'll go to the meeting point...

I'm sorry... we haven't eaten for three days!

She has to take her time!

Lucas read your article...

Soldiers don't like war critics!

You sorted?

The lady fixed me up!

It's all good!

Your analysis was interesting...

Thank you

I didn't say I agreed with you!

We're here for the right or the wrong reason, it doesn't matter... it's our job, we don't do politics...

It seems to be hot there! What is it?

Our taxi is getting shot at!

We need to gain ground... we have less than 10 minutes!

Shit!

We can't afford to rest...

The mission failed...

Nobody was at the extraction point...

One helicopter made an emergency landing with seriously injured personnel...

Hostages?

We haven't heard from them in three hours...

Day 2

We need to stop... she can't walk any more!

Stop... rest...

Do you have a plan B?

No... we don't have a plan B!

What will he decide?

Don't know...

but I'm sure we won't like it!

Hey, Capitain... Victor...

So... what do we do?

To get out of Afghanistan there's only one exit... and it's there!

Are you crazy?

Our orders are to bring you back... & we will carry out the order!

Any better better ideas?

An hour of anonymous glory... for my anonymous eternity...

Every minute the possibility of their survival is reduced...

Do not stop... Keep looking...

Everybody stays at full alert...

How did you get here?

Parachute!

You know what I mean...

Finally!

I was wondering when you'd wake up as a journalist?

What do you want to know?

How I ended up with these reprobates in uniform?

No, that's not what I meant to say...

It's OK... Army life suits me...

same as your work is for you...

Are you married?

Not any more!

Do you want biscuits with your tea?

What? You know it's impossible!

You prefer we wait here?

I hope you know what you're doing!

So do I!

You're very brave...

No, that's not courage...

Courage was this woman in the village...

before they shot her... she was looking at their faces...

You know what she did?

She smiled at them...

And what did I do?

Nothing!

Sorry... talking's not really my thing!

You OK?

Yes...

Day 3

Tic-Tac.

OK... I got it...

Is he trustworthy? What?

Reliable? Yes or no?

His whole family were massacred by the Taliban... Is that enough?

Breakfast is coming...

They won't let us go...

That's because they like us!

Elsa... what did you do to piss them off so much?

It's personal!

Sorry, I don't understand!

I don't want to disturb you, but they're getting closer!

He will not give up...

He will do everything to get me back!

It's going to get worse!

Ignore him... let's go...

Let's go!

Damn, we've been running for 3 days...

I agree... aren't you tired?

Again!

Change!

Change!

Change... got it!

What?? Attack!

Attack?

They're like the devil!

What do you mean? Attack!

Why?

The Hindu Kush will kill this woman!

What did you say?

Okli..

Western women are tougher than you think!

Get out of my sight!

All-out attack!!

Day 4

We're in big trouble!

How can we not fail?

"Defence indefensible"

If we do nothing, the critics will still say the same!

I'm sure those 6 men in the mountains will get her out!

Friends or enemies?

The next pass is in 5 kilometers...

we won't do it if we don't have food and rest...

What the fuck are they doing?

Next time I'll handcuff you!

Entered into madrassas...

Then they will return to implement Sharia doctrine...

Not surprising, they don't like them!

What do you think of it?

Good... take it!

I can't take this!

Maybe you will need it!

OK... thank you

Look!

Bravo!

Come on... give me the hat... Take it!

Kovax...

Here... catch!

Throw it high!

High!

Take it friend, it doesn't fit!

Take cover! Find shelter... quick!

Quick... find cover... hide!

Leave him!

He's dead!

Go... go...

Behind the wall!

Day 5

Search the house... Quick... quick!

This one too!

I'll go with him...

Amen! We can not end it here...

Don't be a fucking martyr!

They gave us hospitality & because of that they are all going to die!

I don't care! We already lost Marius because off a fucking journalist!

We will not take any more risks for this farmer!

Coward!

This fucking journalist will go with them...

Negative!

Lucas... stay with your new friend...

we will save these people!

We look forward to welcoming you in our village!

Your Excellency!

Where are they? Where did you hide them? Where?

Kill them!

I don't know what came over me... I'm sorry!

Just in case...

Take it, he liked this weapon...

For Marius!

Dengarkah... not you...

shoot them now!

Shoot them immediately! What are you witing for?

Quick!

Down!

Hurry up, come on!

Take cover!

I told you I liked this job?!

Not the first time I've heard this...

Go! Quick!

Go!

Victor!

Shit... fuck...

Victor's been shot!

Wake up... come on...

Let's go...

Tic-Tac!

Amin's dead...

Reloading!

I'll cover you!

I'll be fine... go on...

Go on...

Go, go!

Fuck it!

Be careful!

Here... here...

Oh, shit...

Fuck... fuck!

We need to stop the bleeding!

It's hurts bad! Hold on here...

On the push... harder... come on!

Tic-Tac, you bastard!

Amen?

OK... take the pain!

Everything will be OK...

You can do it my friend! Do we wait Elijah?

Why not?

Stop!

Sit down...

Leave me...

Leave me..leave me here!

Only if you're dead!

You'll survive!

We can't go on like this...

What altitude are we at?

3800...3900 meters

It's started snowing...

the temperature will continue to drop...

This is not good!

Everything will be fine!

We have to find shelter...

Victor, let's go! Elsa take my blanket...

It will keep you warm!

Come on soldier!

OK... come on!

Day 6

He's convulsing... hold him...

Hold his feet! I'll hold him!

Give him more morphine?

No...

it will kill him!

He's suffocating!

We have to open his mouth!

Come on... come on!

OK Victor...

Breathe... breathe... come on!

Breathe..it's all good!

Come on... come on... Breathe... breathe!

All of you... I'll kill you all!

I don't even hate you!

How are you?

I'm almost gone, right?

It's important that you get back...

Tic-Tac lost his wife 9 years ago...

I hope he can be happy again!

Take a break...

Day 7

Victor!

Victor... Victor...

Tic-Tac...

No!

What are you doing?

How many of us have to die before we realise that we will never be found?!

Who's next... you or me?

What do you want?

Stop it!

Enough... stop it!

Stop it!

You never listen... I will stay...

Do you have children?

No...

So we will take you home, & you will have children... lots!

Listen carefully... Lisa is pregnant!

So you will go home & take care of your wife!

I don't have children either...

Is that an offer captain?

No seriously... I hope we'll see each other again after all this...

Is it true, I'm going to be a father?

Yes, my friend!

Day 8

Fuck...

Damn it...

Damn, why didn't she say anything?

She didn't want to slow us up... She's got guts!

You've some balls... waiting until she faints to say something nice!

Don't look, turn around!

Everything will be fine...

Do you know what Victor said before he died?

"I love this job..."

Day 9

How can you be a reporter in a country like this?

I love this country...

Replace it with the Netherlands would be better!

Why the Netherlands?

It's flat!

Why did you came here?

It was here or the Netherlands...

It's better the Netherlands.

Yeah it's flat!

Delicatessen!

Delicious!

Next time, we will go to an Italian restaurant!

A special place... you'll like it!

They serve risotto... mushroom risotto that's sublime!

Maybe in the next life...

We're not at that point yet... alright?

Don't worry... we'll be fine!

Take cover...

It's OK... it's OK!

Don't die... don't die!

Don't die Lucas!

It happened so fast...

Why, Lucas? Everything will be fine!

Day 10

Stay with me...

3 miles in 2 hours...

Do you see that mountain we just passed?

That's the border...

Get down!

Pull!

You should continue without us...

Take it!

I will not leave you here...

Look at us...

We won't be going any further!

Please take it...

Take the compass too...

Take it, Elsa.

Go west Elsa... do you hear me? Just head west!

Always...

I can't leave you alone here...

Yes you can & you will... do it!

Sorry, but I can't!

Elsa, if you don't do it for yourself, do it for the others...

Go home, otherwise it will all have been in vain...

Go home!

Go!

Anyway you're all dead!

Admiral... Yes?

She's alive!

Tonight you'll be in Paris...

I don't want to leave Kabul.

Be reasonable, it's for your health!

I'm going nowhere until they are found!

These people are going to take care of you in a military hospital.

Excuse me, please!

Please... excuse me...

Want to ride! Yes!

Admiral, what are you doing? Just a stroll & we'll be back!

Admiral!

Yes I know Minister...

Thank you...
