01x03 - Episode 3

Post by bunniefuu »

We're always together with my unit.

One gesture, one glance

and we understand each other.

So you need to shut up

and lay low, okay?

- Got it.

- It's an eight hour walk.

It's gonna be tough.

- I'll be fine. I'm in good shape.

- Shut up. I'm not done.

In good shape? We're not

in a fitness center in Paris.

The only reason you can come with us is

that !sis shouldn't be a problem there.

I wish I could trust you.

But you don't seem

to be trustworthy.

Nor in your right mind.

I'm not kidding.

If you lied to come with us,

I'll k*ll you. Got it?

We're all set, Sarya. Let's go.

Alright.

Yeah, we're true soldiers

of the Prophet now, boys.

Yeah.

- Nice, huh?

- Pretty good.

Oh, man. Can you believe it?

Muslims have lived here for 1,000 years,

in a-Sham, before we even got here.

Yeah.

They'll continue on for another

1,000 when we're gone.

Yeah, we're just passing through.

Like a light breeze.

Hi, this is Charlotte.

Please leave a message.

Shut up!

Oi! You up there! Shut up!

For God's sakes,

will you shut the f*ck up!?

Driving me bleeding head in, mate!

Paul! Oi, Paul!

Go and tell that ugly cow to tell her

grandson to shut it, will you!?

Oi! Come back this time, alright!?

with a great looking cross

What the f*ck was that about!?

Jesus.

- Paul, habibi, music is too loud?

- It's fine.

Paul, my dear, come give me a kiss.

Ask him if he wants to eat.

- You want couscous? It's good.

- Sure. Thanks, Mrs. Salima.

Come here, come.

Look, I prepared some couscous,

you like that, huh?

You're hungry? Here you go!

Oi! Oi!

You coming down?

Just getting my stuff!

Iyad, get your stuff.

Iyad! Did you finish

your math exercises? Iyad?

Of course, he finished it, Mrs. Salima.

And tell him

to bring his notebook along.

Nouh, which notebook?

Oi! You! I'm trying to watch

the football! Shh! All right?

Why are you talking to me?

Mind your own business.

No, no, no, love.

Not gibberish! English!

- I'm gonna give you a Matt Damon cut.

- No, f*ck off. You said Beckham.

Your hair is perfect

for a Matt Damon cut.

I don't think Beckham uses

a pink brush.

- Hey!

- Chill, mate.

You know he's a genius,

whatever he does.

Mate, what the actual f*ck?

You've been blow drying. I thought

I told you to get heat protection.

You don't blow dry your f*ck'

hair with no heat protection.

Do you know

what it does to your hair?

f*ck you!

Let go!

You know you didn't have

to do it tonight, yeah?

No. No.

No, this is why we came here.

To put ourselves to the test,

prove our conviction.

No, I didn't expect it to be easy.

Brothers!

I remember, as child, how I tried to

deceive myself with this instrument.

I was ashamed of myself.

I was corrupted by the sickness

and vanity of the West,

and by my own pride.

It took me years to see the truth.

I could find solace only

in the true values of Islam:

modesty and humility.

I can't talk for long, alright?

I've gotta go.

Have you seen Charlotte?

Modesty and humility,

dear brothers.

These are the values the Prophet,

peace be upon him, ordered us to follow

when he said, "For there

will be from my people"

"those who desire fornication,

silks, liquor and music."

What f*cking good are you?

f*cking good are you

And he said, "And so God

destroyed them!" Allah Akbar!

- God is Great!

- God is Great!

- God is great!

- God is great!

f*ck

- Went pretty well, didn't it?

- Yeah.

- It was a decent piano though.

- Yeah, pretty decent.

Hey, Paul? What the f*ck?

Where'd you go?

- What's the matter, man?

- Charlotte's been arrested.

f*ck. I'm sorry, man.

Yeah, she She sent me money.

Once.

Now the f*ck are charging her

for terrorism.

Well, what about Alex?

Your mom got Alex?

No, child services have taken him.

No, no, no, no, no.

That's bullocks.

He's 6 years old.

They can't do that sh*t. I tell you now.

They've already transferred him

to a f*cking foster home, mate.

They've already transferred him.

I've gotta do something. I can't

I can't just stay here

and forget about him, alright? I can't.

Listen, man. We always knew

this was a one-way ticket.

What? Is that a f*cking

"I told you so," Nasser, huh?

- Is that a f*cking "I told you so"?

- Easy, easy.

What he's trying to say is that we're

fighting for 1,000 Muslim children.

We swore a sacrifice, brother.

My son's not a f*cking piano that

I can set on fire to prove my faith.

Sorry.

I'm sorry. I shouldn't be taking it

out on you. I'm sorry.

- It's alright, man. It's alright.

- Well, then I've gotta go back. Alright?

- No.

- I've gotta see him.

- I've gotta fix this.

- Brother, brother.

You know that you can't.

I will come back.

I swear, I will come back,

- but I have to see my son.

- What?

You think they'll just give

him back if you return?

They'll arrest you the instant

your plane hits the ground, bro.

Listen, you also need to be

really careful around here, yeah?

If anyone catches you even

thinking about leaving

What am I supposed to do?

Come. Come, man, come on.

It means thank you.

You said this woman was a k*lling

machine. You were joking, right?

Don't know her much,

but I heard she's brutal.

Doesn't make any sense.

I can't imagine Anna being brutal.

Maybe you don't know your sister

the way you thought you did.

Or maybe she's not his sister.

The real question is if your sister

is here with Gilia k*lling !sis,

how come everyone thinks she's dead?

Once we're done with the bridge,

we're gonna rendezvous

with Gilia's battalion.

So if you're looking for answers

about your sister

Be patient. And stay alive.

For another day or two.

Easy, yeah?

No, you gotta click it three times.

No, other way.

Hey, guys, anyone wants to get married?

A widow just arrived.

Time has come, man.

Beautiful as a virgin, from France.

Widow, huh? Sounds experienced.

Should we let her pop your cherry?

A widow?

Come, man.Yallah. Come.

- Come on.

- Zip it.

I don't know her.

Do I look alright in this?

My head scarf?

- You look fine. Come on.

- Okay.

Don't worry, man.

We'll get them

for what they did to you.

There he is. Okay, Paul?

- Yeah.

- sh*t, there's five of them!

He said he was coming on his ones.

Look at that, lads. Little dickhead

finally made some friends.

You think these benders are gonna

help you, Paulie? f*ck' losers.

f*ck' come on then!

Come on, you camel f*ck!

You're gonna die in this alley,

do you know that!? Dickhead!

Come here, you sh*t!

w*nk*r! f*ck off!

f*ck you!

Dickhead! Come on, then! Dickhead!

- Nasser!

- f*ck off then!

f*ck off! Get off me!

You're out of your f*cking mind!

Get off me, f*cking prick!

- Get off!

- f*cking hit him! Hit him!

f*cking b*stard!

Iyad! Iyad!

Calm down! Calm down.

You did good, brother.

Say, I seek refuge

in the Lord of mankind,

The King of mankind,

The God of mankind,

From the evil of the sneaking

whisperer, Who whispered

Aladhi.

- What does it mean?

- Aladhi yuwaswisoo.

The one who whispers.

The whispering devil

inserts evil thoughts

into the hearts of people?

No, I'm asking grammatically.

Aladhi means what?

Remember?

Arabic uses different words

for males and females.

Aladhi means "who,"

but for a singular male.

Alati means "who"

for a singular female.

Where is she, mate?

That singular female.

This book is sick.

Look at this building.

All the families here are broken up.

They have no money for food,

but they still drink alcohol

and buy lottery tickets.

The Koran gives me hope

that I'll be different.

Please remove the niqab,

so your groom could see your face.

Would you like

to ask her some questions?

Like her? Do you want her?

Put your fingerprint here please.

God Bless you,

by the grace of Allah

I declare you husband and wife.

Rely on Allah and praise him.

When we join the revolution, we have

to pick a Kurdish name for ourselves.

You know? A nom de guerre.

Like Shamaran did.

My name is Sidar.

But some of the Kurds, they like to call

us by our celebrity doppelgänger names.

They call me Woody Allen.

You don't look like him.

I have glasses.

That's good enough.

- What about you?

- Claudia Schiffer.

- You got something to say?

- No, nothing.

- What about you?

- Captain America.

Sarya!

What should we call our new recruit?

Alice.

In f*cking Wonderland.

And you?

What's your nom de guerre?

I'm not a volunteer. I'm Kurdish.

- How come you speak French so well?

- I grew up in Paris.

In Paris? When did you arrive?

It's clear. Let's go!

The piers are too thick.

You need to hit the girders instead.

Four charges.

Twenty kilos each.

Place them on one of the girders,

in even spaces, like this. Okay?

- Have you ever done anything like that?

- It'll make the crossbeam crack.

Pressure and gravity

will do the rest.

Once the beam breaks apart,

part of the deck will collapse.

Trust me.

We need a few hours

to finish the job.

Woody, Eva, take

the other side of the bridge.

Ryan, you go to the hill.

Take Alice with you.

- Go!

- Take it before and after.

Are you alright?

When did you get here?

Four months ago. To Iraq.

When was your husband k*lled?

Two months ago. In Sinjar.

You know, it's a great honor

being a shahid's wife.

I am a believer.

My faith is strong.

I loved my husband.

I will love you.

Iyad.

Sheikh wants us to go check out

a Christian village. Come on.

Well? How'd it go?

You have fun?

Yeah. She'll be a good wife, man.

- Yeah? Alright, man.

- Yeah.

Go, brothers. Rely on Allah.

Allahu akbar! Allahu akbar!

Sheikh.

- What can I do for you?

- With your permission.

I know you have men who are loyal

to the Caliphate in the UK.

Could they perhaps help

with a personal mission,

which is very important, very,

to one of our best soldiers?

- What is the mission?

- A boy, a 6-year-old,

has been dumped

into the social services system,

he's on his way to a foster home.

If there's a way for them to take him,

to reunite him with his father?

To bring him over here?

You're asking to create great

commotion for a boy?

I wouldn't ask if I didn't think it

was for the Caliphate's benefit.

Hey. What was that about?

Oh, no. Just telling sheikh

about the wedding.

- So?

- Not good.

The bloody judge only went

and set bail at 5,000 quid.

- We can't afford it.

- They're keeping him locked up then?

This is gonna be his third

arrest in two years.

It was only a matter of time

he'd get nicked again.

Sorry, mate.

Oi! This is his wife?

Cor, look at her! She's fit!

If she were my missus,

I woulda never have k*lled myself.

If she were your missus, she'd

have blown herself up instead.

But he didn't

even k*ll himself, you know.

He believed he were going to some

sort of paradise to marry 72 women,

- better than her.

- Do you believe in it?

- I'm just agnostic to it.

- What's that mean?

It means I don't have enough info

to support it or rule it out.

Just asked if you believe in it,

not if you know. So?

- Do you?

- Well, obviously,

I believe in some sort of paradise.

Three of them born

in West Yorkshire.

- Where'd they even get the bombs from?

- They just built them themselves.

It's called TATP, mother of Satan.

They're actually very easy to make.

Is it now? Lemme guess.

You think you can build one, too.

f*ck yeah, I can. There are manuals

on the internet. I've read them.

Are you crazy? Do you want the

police to trace and arrest you?

Do you think I'm dumb?

I did it at school,

and I used proxy to hide myself.

- You used what?

- No, seriously, mate. Be careful.

The whole country's

going mad because of it.

- You can't do stupid things.

- I say we build one.

- We'll be famous.

- Who would you blow up?

- I don't know. The Queen?

- The Queen? You serious?

- What did she ever do to you?

- Nothing.

Don't know.

It would be big, wouldn't it?

Nah, there's no way.

She's way too protected.

True that. Anyway, she's kind of boring.

We should go with someone more famous.

Like

- Coldplay.

- Coldplay?

Nah, mate. I love Coldplay.

No chance. Nasser, your turn.

- I don't know.

- Come on, mate.

Just pick a name. Any name.

Just tell me where you want

me to do it, and I'll do it.

Brother Abu Mus'ab!

Now that we have the town,

we need to spread west,

but first we have to deal

with the kurds base.

You were soldier

in the crusader's army.

Share your opinion with us.

How would they attack

a base like this?

Sheikh, mercilessly.

Through the air, land,

from afar, like cowards.

The Islamic State does not have these

kinds of weapons. What would you do?

Distract them with a few elements

and then, that would be for you.

It will split them.

It will split them in half.

- How many men?

- Twenty.

Very nice.

The crusaders taught you well,

Abu Mus'ab.

Men!

We were victorious against those

crusaders today because of God.

God is great!

But the greatest challenge

still hasn't come.

In 36 hours, we will attack

the enemies of God.

God is great!

Your mission is to catch every

foreigner. Every foreigner!

Americans, Zionist, Europeans!

Every foreigner!

And we want them alive!

But allow me

to remind you of one thing.

He who dies by the hand of a woman on

the b*ttlefield, that is no martyrdom!

That is a regular death. Meaning

there is no heaven and no virgins!

- Onward to battle!

- Onward to battle!

- Onward to battle!

- Onward to battle!

- God is great!

- God is great!

It's my hog's tooth.

As long as it's on me,

I'm untouchable.

- Hog?

- Hunter of gunmen.

- sn*per.

- You served in the army?

Marine Corps.

Three tours in Iraq.

When we got back home, I saw on TV

how everything here was going to sh*t.

Realized that our w*r

was all for nothing.

My friends died for nothing.

And it was just getting worse.

So

came to help.

You know,

I can lie like this for hours.

Like a sphinx

or a rock.

I rest my cheek,

take two deep breaths.

I have to seep into the silence to be

able to control the wind's influence.

So

I empty the space in my brain

from all the noises.

The interruptions of the world.

I just pull out the plug and let

all my brain dirt drain out.

Like in a bath.

Very poetic.

You're right.

It'd be a shame

to let that go to waste.

Let's take a video

for Luis' followers.

Don't shake it.

- Okay.

- I bet you'd love this routine.

It's like therapy.

I can lie like this for hours.

- Like a sphinx, a rock--

- Seriously?

You're gonna do it all again?

Like a sphinx, a rock

I rest my cheek,

take two deep breaths.

I have to seep into the silence to be

able to control the wind's influence.

I empty the space in my brain

from all the noises

Alright, lazy boys.

I'm going for a run.

Gotta stay on it.

Hey there, Nasser.

- Really good to see you here, yeah?

- Good to see you, too, Stanley.

I'm afraid I don't have much time.

You got any people of interest

you wanna tell me about?

Yeah, there's this guy,

Abu Yasser Al-Suri.

Here's the one in charge.

Is that it?

sh*t.

He's mid-level at most.

Involved only in local activity.

No, you're gonna have

to aim a lot higher than that.

Well, they're gonna launch

a full-scale attack on a sector, so--

Yeah. Then again, also local news.

You heard any chatter about planned

attacks back home? Mainland Europe?

You know, right now,

a f*ck' rumor would do.

Well, they told us to kidnap

Europeans and Americans.

Any foreign volunteers

that are helping the Kurds.

- Okay, names? Targets?

- No.

Okay.

Well, when you got something useful,

get in touch, huh?

Wait, man.

I'm worried.

About Paul and Iyad.

Why? You think they might suspect?

No, no, no. Of course not.

It's just that

This place, like, it's

proper getting to them, you know?

- Big time.

- Look, Nasser

I admire the way you look

after your friends, you know?

But I promise to do

everything I can for them,

but at the end of the day,

you're the asset.

You know, you are our top priority.

Yeah, no, I get that. It's just

Obviously, I knew it was gonna be

difficult to come out here. It's just

When you actually see it,

like, it's a different thing.

Well, violence here is

gonna seep into Europe.

It's inevitable.

When that begins to happen,

we're gonna need you to be in the

right position to help prevent it.

Remember. You're British.

Alright, you were recruited

to help save lives back at home,

not try to end civil wars

in the Middle East.

But if the pressure's

getting to you, you know,

if it's too much,

you need to tell me.

What do you wanna do?

Nothing. I wanna finish the mission.

Good lad.

Let's go.

Ryan, we're in position.

Blowing up the bridge

in five seconds.

Five, four,

three, two

Looks good. Heading your way.

Semper Gumby.

- You know what that means, Antoine?

- Some Marines bullshit?

Right on. It's the Marines' motto.

- I thought it was Semper Fidelis.

- Nah, f*ck no.

Fidelis is Hollywood crap.

A real Marine is Semper Gumby.

Always flexible.

That's you, Antoine.

- Nice job with the bridge.

- Thanks.

Get off the road.

Down. Down.

Two pickups heading your way.

I can make six hostiles.

Getting into position.

Wait for my signal.

I think you got all of them.

Get down! Ryan!

Okay, we're done here.

Ryan?

Ryan, do you copy?

Ryan? Can you hear me, Ryan?

f*ck.

Let's get the f*ck out of here.
