- You're hungry, I hope?

- What?

Hey!

I'm coming.

- Hello.

- Hello.

- You have the pizzas?

- Yeah.

- Hello. Can you pay, Antoine?

- You have some money?

Not here. In my wallet. In the kitchen.

- You can stay.

- I have to study for an exam tomorrow.

- Here you are.

- Thanks a lot.

Thank you.

First I have to read

my emails when I go home.

Let me just I'll call you

back when Okay, great.

No, it's really interesting.

See you later, then.

Hey Antoine, what's up?

Here is Navid.

Navid, you've already met

my brother Antoine.

Nice to meet you. I have to go.

I'll call you later?

- Sure, see you later.

- Great.

- Goodbye.

- Bye.

The pizza guy? Come on!

Yeah. We've seen each other

a couple of times.

Really? He just surprised me for lunch.

- But you hate surprises.

- I actually thought it was kind of cute.

FYI, a plumber will pass

by tomorrow. No thanks.

Well, he's smart, he's funny.

It's not only sexual, you know?

Obviously. Of course.

It's the first time you bang a guy

from Where is he from?

From Iran.

- It's delicious. Thanks.

- Normal. It's her job.

She writes cookbooks.

- Antoine!

- It's not true.

I'm a writer who writes novels. What

about you? What line of work are you in?

- Well, I

- He wants to take

I'm planning to take

college classes in philosophy.

That's great.

So you have a student visa?

- Not yet.

- He left Iran for political reasons.

He took part in the Green Movement.

Students, right?

It includes all of those fighting

against the corruption of the regime.

We are fighting for freedom,

for democracy.

He had to flee Iran.

Activists are persecuted over there.

It must be such a hard experience.

So you felt threatened?

Like, in real danger?

He had several friends

arrested last year.

- Right after the elections.

- You're lucky you could escape.

You've filed

for political asylum, right?

Yes. I'm at the beginning

of the procedure.

It's a pretty lenghty procedure.

I can call Alex. His dad's a lawyer.

He often deals with asylum requests.

I'm sure he can help you.

- Would you do this?

- Sure.

That would be super nice.

- Some wine, please.

- Sure.

Indulging yourself, I see!

Our blood and our souls

are with you, O Martyr!

Martyrs don’t die!

Martyrs don’t die!

Raise our martyr.

Our martyrs are the path of freedom.

We will never give up on our martyr’s

path. We follow their path.

For the soul of martyrs.

Put down your weapons.

What do you reckon

he's doing over there?

I don't know.

He's shaking the Sheikh's hand.

Well, what'd he want?

He wants me to lead a squad tonight.

For the attack on the Kurds.

Sick! Congratulations, brother!

That's amazing!

Come here. Come.

Can't believe we had to drag

this little wank all the way here.

And in the end, we'll be

taking orders from him.

- Man, you're gonna be our bloody emir!

- Yeah, yeah, yeah. Easy.

Let's just make sure we get

through tonight first, yeah?

- I'm ready, man, I'm ready.

- I know.

Nice one. Nice one.

Finally, those Kurd b*tches

are gonna get it.

- Gilia arrives tomorrow.

- With Anna? I mean, Shamaran?

I don't know. I have no direct contact

with her battalion.

!sis will probably strike tonight.

Communications are restricted.

- Do you have family?

- Yeah. A brother.

You have a husband?

A boyfriend?

No. I've given up on that

when I joined the revolution.

- Is it forbidden?

- Any romantic relationship is.

The same goes for men.

- For how long?

- Forever. You're committed forever.

That's tough. It's a sacrifice

- To give up on romance. You think so?

- It's a sacrifice not to submit to men?

Come on. Sharing your life

with someone you love,

that's not submission.

It can be a respectful relationship.

Were you respectful when you

came here without telling your wife?

- That's a whole other thing.

- Right.

You think you can make it tonight?

Yes.

I wanna help.

Here is an AK-47.

A Kalashnikov r*fle.

Cute.

- Now, lie down on your stomach.

- Thanks.

Stretch your left leg out,

fold your right leg,

place the grip against your shoulder,

in the hollow of your shoulder.

Like that.

And don't touch the r*fle's magazine.

Make it stable. Like that.

Now just put your hand a bit further.

Don't touch the magazine.

You ready? Don't touch!

Okay. Now unlock the safe.

Go ahead.

A common mistake's to squeeze

the trigger too quickly.

Squeeze slowly, otherwise

the shot's deflected to the right.

Take a deep breath.

And exhale

slowly.

Now, squeeze slowly.

Not bad. You didn't close you're eyes.

It's good. But you moved a little bit.

I closed my eyes the first time?

I didn't even notice.

Come one. Try again.

- I'm getting better, right?

- Keep practicing.

What will you do

after you find Shamaran?

Keep your eyes on the target.

First, I'll have to be sure it's her.

What if it's really her?

What will you do next?

I don't know.

I haven't thought of that.

I'd probably have

a ton of questions for her.

You think she'd be willing

to answer them?

Apparently, she wanted you

to think she was dead.

Okay.

Let's say she answers your questions.

Then what? You go home?

You stay here with her?

Because she won't leave, you know.

You know that, right?

Congrats. You missed 4 out of 5 targets.

You let me distract you.

Forget what's around you. Focus.

Now keep practicing.

We're looking for him. If you know

- I told you, I don't know where he is.

- Do you know him well?

I've already answered.

Do you even have the right to come here

and bombard me with questions?

What's going on?

- This is Antoine. He's my brother.

- Good morning.

He lives here.

I'm looking for Navid Mirzahi.

Do you know where he is?

- Is there a problem?

- Yes.

He's involved in an armed robbery.

We have a search warrant.

- Do you know where he is?

- No

He was here a couple of days ago

but I don't know where he is. Sorry.

If you know something and refuse

to tell us, it's a serious offense.

- You could be prosecuted.

- I don't know where he is, I swear.

- Anna, you know something?

- No.

Okay. We'll be in touch, then.

He's not involved in any of this.

Two Iranian guys robbed a forex counter.

He might have met them once or twice

but the cops automatically

think he's involved.

I swear he didn't do anything, Antoine.

In that case,

he should go to the police.

Being in hiding obviously

makes him a suspect.

He's undocumented, he can't just walk

in the police station. He'd be deported.

If he hasn't done anything,

they won't deport him.

His request for asylum was denied.

He had 30 days to leave the country.

- The deadline ended last week.

- What?

I don't understand.

You told me he was a political refugee.

- Why would his request be denied?

- Because it's super hard to get!

I'm sorry but you can't hide him.

You heard the cops. It's too risky.

If he had a resident card,

he could go

and talk to the police

without being deported.

The only thing I found

to protect him is to marry him.

Don't look at me like that, Antoine.

- Marry him? You barely know him.

- I know him very well. And I love him.

What are you talking about?

You've known him for five months.

Five months Who gives a sh*t!

You'll see when it happens to you.

- You'll understand.

- Hold on

I usually don't meddle in your life

But I'm your brother.

- You can't be that blind.

- Blind?

How can you be sure

he's telling you the truth?

Did he really take part

in the Green Movement?

Whatever Navid says is true?

I'm telling you, he's lying.

- He's not lying.

- Of course he's lying. And you know it.

You just don't want to see it,

you're acting like teenager.

- Sorry, but I won't let you marry

- You won't let me?

Who the f*ck do you think you are?

You think I need your approval

to do what I have to do?

Don't you ever talk to me like that.

Don't you understand I'm in love?

I'm in love

for the first time in my life.

- Are you fine?

- Yes. You?

- Dad's here?

- Yeah, he's upstairs.

What's the matter?

I have to tell you something about Anna.

How do you know they're

planning to attack here, too?

We picked up !sis radio chatter.

They're planning to attack five

villages in the area tonight,

together with Adar's base.

You should've gone home

when you had the chance, huh?

What is that?

- My book.

- Your memoir?

Poems, stories. It'll be a trilogy.

- You were not a soldier? Like Ryan?

- f*ck no.

I would never join the army.

- What are you doing here?

- What do you mean?

This is not the army, man.

This is a revolution.

We're making history here.

For the first time

since the Spanish Civil w*r,

the anarchist forces

have a state of their own.

f*cking Rojava, man.

An anarchist?

There is no authority but yourself.

That's the meaning of this place.

Look around you.

Can you see the beauty in it, Antoine?

Everything here is run

without a central government.

Without anyone upstairs

giving out orders.

It's beautiful.

If you ignore the fact that !sis

are coming to k*ll everyone.

You wait and see.

Once we beat the fascist forces,

Rojava will be a paradise.

You should move here, too.

You'd like it here.

Tel Bayder, Tel Bayder,

what is your status?

I’m getting the people ready but I’ve

never done something like that alone.

You are smarter than the enemy.

I know you. I believe in you.

You know more about this than me.

Good luck sister.

Copy that, comrade.

- Are you anxious?

- Of course I am.

I know you hadn't planned

to stay and fight.

You don't have to help us.

Thank you.

Let's go. We'd better be back

to the base before it gets dark.

- Sign here?

- Yes.

You know, we will lose at some point.

The infidels will crush us.

It's written.

Yeah, but it's also written

that when we think all is lost,

we will rise again and bring salvation

from holy Jerusalem.

Exactly. This is why the Sheikh

gave us clear orders, yeah?

We'll find the western volunteers and

we'll capture them alive no matter what.

We'll cut their heads off

in front of the f*cking camera.

- Watch them ignore us, bro, watch them.

- On God’s will.

On God’s will.

Thanks

- Captagon.

- No, I need to stay sharp, man.

Don't wanna take nothing

that's gonna numb my brain.

- No, help you become fearless.

- Help you become merciless, brother.

I have no mercy and I have no fear.

I put my trust in Allah.

Let's wait for them by the mountain

and attack them

before they get into position.

Watch out, to the East.

They’re sending backup.

Don't forget, brothers! We want

the Americans and the Europeans alive!

Copy! Copy!

Don't forget, brothers! We want

the Europeans and the Americans alive!

Allah is the greatest.

Allah is the greatest.

Allah is the greatest.

Peace and mercy of God upon you.

Peace and mercy of God upon you.

Let’s go.

To all the units of the mujahidin.

Commence the attack

against the infidels.

Trust in God and the angels,

may God guide your ways.

And don’t forget we need

Europeans and Americans alive!

- Allah is the greatest!

- Allah is the greatest!

The enemy has given the attack order.

All units, the attack has begun

all over the sector. Get ready.

Ready.

Tel Nasri ready, comrade.

Al Kharitah ready, comrade.

Al Majer ready, comrade.

Tel Rayd, engaging fire, comrade.

We’re in position.

Waiting for your command.

May Allah be with us.

Come.

Better to die a martyr’s death.

Suicide b*mber!

They’re everywhere.

Run, run!

You two, go behind.

Run! Run! Run!

Fire! Fire! Fire!

Fire! Fire! Fire!

Suicide b*mber!

Run! Run! Run!

- Go!

- Go Iyad! Go!

Come on, guys,

let's go in to the room.

Iyad!

Martyrs never die.

Go to the right!

- The right!

- To the left!

On the roof, careful!

No, he's somewhere else!

Not the roof!

We caught a movie star.

Sheikh Abu Yasser will be pleased!

I’m gonna make a great video with her.

- It’s finished!

- The victory is ours!

Turn around.

Please, turn around.

Please!

I'm sorry.

- You all right? You good?

- Yeah.

- You've done it.

- Allah is the greatest!

Tel Namir, Tel Namir,

do you have an update?

The attack is full on.

Enemy forces are heading west.

- Same visual from our sector.

- Copy.

Let’s go. We are out of the battle.

f*cking !sis, they're too afraid

to fight in the mountains.

Ruda and Rojbin stay over there.

They didn’t attack here.

Welcome! Welcome! Welcome!

The Sheikh is here!

What’s this?

I asked to take

Western prisoners alive.

Sheikh

I k*lled her.

She was sh**ting at us

from close range.

I’m sorry for my failure.

I will accept any punishment

you see fit to give me.

There is no power or strength

save in God.

Brother Abu Musab,

I trust your judgment.

I wanted a prisoner.

But we’ll take whatever Allah gives us.

I will let you have the honor of cutting

off the head of this crusader wh*re.

Her blonde head will be

the image of our victory.

Come on!

Are you all right, brother?

Film our hero brother inflicting

Allah's punishment on the Infidels.

- God is great!

- God is great!

Raise the crusader

wh*re’s head up high!

Let everyone see what happens

to infidels who disobey God!

- God is great!

- God is great!

- God is great!

- God is great!

Tel Tamer.

Tel Tamer, Sarya speaking.

Adar? Adar? Sarya speaking.

Nobody hears me?

- Still no news?

- f*ck

I wish I were with her instead

of staying here, racking my brains.

You'll have

other opportunities to fight.

Gilia to Sarya.

We are entering the safe zone.

We will reach your village soon.

What's going on?

That was Gilia. She's not far.

They'll be here any minute.

Okay, commander.

What's going on? What's the matter?

I got a call from Iran.

From a NGO.

What did they say?

He was ex*cuted. They k*lled him.

They found some pictures.

He was hung from a crane.

I told you he'd be in danger over there

but they didn't give a sh*t.

They just deported him.

I'm going to meet

a journalist tomorrow.

People must know. Our government

sent Navid to slaughter.

- Don't rush into this.

- f*cking hell.

f*ck! I should have fought

when he was at the detention center!

- Calm down.

- How can I calm down?

It wouldn't have helped anyways.

Navid was undocumented.

They just enforced the law.

There's nothing you could have done.

What's wrong with you, Antoine?

What do you mean,

what's wrong with me?

I don't know. You're being weird.

You know something else?

I'm talking to you.

Is there anything else you know?

I swear I had no idea

of the consequences.

I just wanted to protect you. I swear.

- You reported him, Antoine?

- That's not the way it happened.

How could you that?

To him! To me!

- Well, Dad and Mom thought

- So you did it together?

You all agreed on that?

Will you f*cking answer?

I'm sorry.

He wasn't lying, see?

I told you he was an activist.

You k*lled him. All of you.

I never want to see you again, Antoine.

Never.

- Gilia’s battalion is approaching.

- Gilia's here.

Our comrades have arrived.

- Anna? Shamaran?

- In the back!

Shamaran!

Anna!

Anna!

- Shamaran!

- I'm here!

Are you Shamaran?

Yes.

- Are you French?

- No. Swiss.

You were there when Luke

was wounded in the bombing?

Yeah. Do I know you?

Sorry.

It's not her.
