Post by bunniefuu »

Sarya! Come and see your room.

You think that's

what Mom would have wanted?

That we'd fly off, dropping

everything right after her death?

No.

You remember

what she always said?

"Your future is here.

I want you to have a normal life."

She said it at the hospital.

You promised her, Dad.

I thought we'd be able to.

- What's wrong? Is it about money?

- No. It's not about money.

Our family is over there. It's home.

I can't make it here alone

without your mother.

What about me Dad?

What will I do over there?

My whole life is here.

I have nothing else.

Please, Sarya.

I can't stay here.

Forgive me.

Forgive me.

Pardon.

Don't cry, Dad.

So did you talk to that girl?

Yeah. She's from Switzerland.

Her real name's Karine.

And in the video? It was her?

Well You didn't find your sister.

You didn't get the answer

you were expecting.

But you got an answer.

At least, now you can go home

and move on.

I'll take you to Qamishli

tomorrow morning.

You'll cross the Turkish border

from there and it'll all be behind you.

Aren't you supposed to go

and fight with Gilia in the South?

Gilia ordered me to take you

to Qamishli so that you can go home.

There must me other people who

go over there. Can't I go with them?

No one else's going

to Qamishli, Antoine.

We're surrounded.

One after the other,

all villages surrender to !sis.

It won't be a leisure trip.

There must be another solution.

I know you'd rather stay with Gilia.

It doesn't matter

what I want or what you want.

I was told to go with you and I will.

We'll leave tomorrow morning.

Let me help you with your r*fle.

- I wanna tie the handle.

- Yeah.

Gimme a piece of tape, please.

- Here you go.

- Thanks.

- Voilà!

- Thank you.

A real soldier.

Film our hero brother

This is brilliant.

Man, you gotta check this out.

- Look at that!

- f*ck off, man.

How about you take it easy

with the Captagon, yeah?

You know what they call it here?

Abu Hilalain.

All right. Well, take it easy

on the Abu Hilalain.

Go see your missus. It's late.

No, she'll wait for me.

No matter what, she'll wait.

- Al-Salam Aleikum, brothers.

- Peace be upon you.

Did you get some rest today?

Are you hearing the reports?

Villages are kneeling

before we even reach them.

An entire

60-kilometer strip surrendered.

Men, your battle is beginning to roll.

- Praise God.

- Praise God.

Tomorrow

you're going to Ar-Raqqah.

Really? Why?

You’ll get your explanations

tomorrow.

Our brothers in London

have found your boy.

They'll try to get to him.

Thank you, Sheikh.

In God's hands. Let's go.

You see, Alex was transferred

to some foster family, yeah?

So, someone in the community

submitted a request.

Once it's approved, man,

they're gonna bring him here.

Wait a second.

You were part of this?

Yeah. Spoke to the Sheikh about it,

but, like, I wanted it to be a surprise.

Are you happy, Paul?

- Hey, guys. You ready for your trip?

- Man, can you believe this guy?

Just started to get to know him,

and he's already leaving.

- We're gonna miss you, Antoine.

- Can still join me, you know.

Commander Gilia is gathering

all the forces in the area.

- We're gonna take back our villages--

- Alice, we have to go.

Hey! You're riding with the chickens.

If you're in the passenger seat,

you'll stand out.

Come on. Get inside.

Bon voyage.

We just passed Abu Soura,

all is clear.

All units from Gilia, we have reports

on enemy presence in the area.

Hold your position

and wait for our arrival.

Keep radio silence,

unless necessary.

This is 4 at Abu Soura junction,

we've engaged the enemy. Over.

4 for Gilia, report your status.

This is 4, heavy fire at the junction.

We need assistance.

We're running low on a*mo!

MUNICIPAL GOVERNMEN

OF AR-RAQQAH

- Peace be upon you.

- And upon you.

- Are you Abu Mus'ab Al-Masri?

- Yes.

Your meeting with Abu Reda the Libyan

will be at noon.

But you have to see brother Abu Usama

before the meeting.

I will wait for you.

Abu Osama,

this is brother Abu Musab Al-Masri.

- Peace be upon you.

- And peace be upon you too.

It is an honor to meet you.

- I'm Abu Osama, director of media.

- You're American?

Allah have mercy, of course not. I

I am faithful soldier of the Caliphate.

This footage is priceless.

Allahu akbar!

It's gonna be the most powerful video

we've got out of the last offensive.

Allahu akbar!

Glory be to Allah.

I like your voice. It's reserved, deep.

Thank you.

It's a good thing your face is covered.

I want to record you

saying a few words in English,

and add it to the video.

It'll look like you said it on the spot

right after the offensive.

I don't think that's a good idea.

Well, it'll have

a powerful impact, brother,

both on the infidels' TV networks

and on the Muslim men

who hear you say it.

It may help inspiring them

to come over here and join us.

Yeah, well, if you use my voice,

it'll expose me, won't it?

So? You're here, protected with us.

What if I wanna go back to Europe,

to strike the Kuffar

from within their own cities.

Have you thought about that?

Or do you only care about how many

f*cking likes your videos get, huh?

There's no reason

to be disrespectful, Abu Musab.

There are many ways

to support the jihad.

Yeah, I'm sorry, brother. Sorry.

I get very passionate

about the cause, you know?

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

Listen, I know how important

these videos are, but

I'd really appreciate if you could

find someone else's voice.

- Is that cool?

- Okay. Yeah.

Thank you.

You can go in,

the Sheikh is ready to see you.

- Peace be upon you.

- And peace be upon you too.

and God's blessings upon you.

Brother Abu Mus'ab,

God save and protect you.

Come sit, come.

This is Abu Reda the Libyan.

A real man, a brave fighter.

General of the immigrants' army

and general of our northern units.

This week he was appointed head

of the military council in our region.

He was elected a member

of the Islamic State's high council,

our minister, the minister of w*r,

Abu Reda.

- Please.

- Thank you.

Are you Abu Musab Al-Masri?

Nasser Yassin?

Yes.

You fought in the British Army lines.

That was a dark period in my past,

brother Abu-Reda.

Satan tricked me

and I almost lost my soul.

Until my friends brought me back

to the righteous path.

Praise God.

Listen, Nasser,

in all of history, no military

power achieved victories

like the once

the Islamic State achieved.

No one can stop us.

But in return, we pay a heavy price.

We lose scores of men every week.

We need quality military leaders.

I decided to appoint you member

of the military council in Ar-Raqqah.

Thank you, Abu Reda.

That is a great honor.

But I'd prefer to stay in the field,

with my brothers.

Brother Abu Mus'ab,

the soldiers of God

don't choose their missions.

Say thank you.

Thank you.

We're running low on a*mo!

We can't reach you.

You'll have to hold on,

with whatever you have.

Be brave.

Antoine, there's a roadblock.

We have to go through the fields.

Turn here.

We have to stay away

from big roads. It'll take longer.

- We'll have to find a place to sleep.

- Okay.

- There it is. Open.

- See? It's easy.

Well?

They made me a member

of their military council.

f*ck off. I don't believe it.

- You're you're going to stay with us?

- No.

They're transferring me to Ar-Raqqah.

Brilliant. What for?

Want me to plan the purging of villages

in the Deir ez-Zor area

to guarantee control

over the oil fields, so

Man. Sick, but you have

to take us with you, man.

Honestly, 'cause I wanna be there

when we snuff village after village.

Ain't that right, boy, yeah?

Just go easy on the Captagon.

You know you gotta pack these

and take these downstairs, yeah?

And they're heavy as well.

These pins.

Never do them properly.

These f*cking pin holes

Oi. Oi.

Oi, you gotta shake this off, man.

Whatever this is,

you've gotta shake it off right now.

Last week, you wanted to leave.

And now, you want Alex to come here?

What's that about?

Mate, I f*cked up his life.

I need a chance to fix that,

and right now,

him being here is the least

worst option for him.

Come on, you know he's gonna have all

the love in the world from me here.

From you, from Iyad.

Most importantly, he's gonna

have a f*cking family here.

And he's not gonna grow up feeling

like some kind of loser,

with doors slamming in his face

like we did.

Okay, he's gonna be part

of something important here, man.

Yeah, yeah, I see that, but ask

yourself this question, yeah?

What do you think are

the chances of him surviving--

I don't know.

But I will do my best

to look after him.

And failing that,

I will go to heaven with him.

Yeah?

Yeah.

We'll stay here tonight.

We'll spend the night here.

Okay.

Good night.

- Good night.

- Good night.

God is great!

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!

- Hey. Wake up.

- Oh f*ck. What's going--

- It's just me. It's just me.

- What the f*ck?

What's happening?

Alex deserves to be with you, his dad.

But he doesn't deserve to be here,

and you know that.

I'm gonna get us out of here.

Hey, what the f*ck

are you talking about?

You know there's no way out

of here, right?

- I've thought about all of this--

- No, there is a way.

Will you come?

- Yeah.

- Yes, bro.

Good man.

But listen, don't say nothing

to Iyad just yet. All right?

Yeah.

Gotta get a few things sorted out first.

- Then we'll go talk to him.

- He

Iyad's not gonna come.

You've seen how he is.

He's in way too deep.

No.

I ain't leaving him behind.

You got bad news?

We can't counter-attack.

There are too many of them.

What about the others?

Do you know anything?

No. I don't know who

but some people died.

A lot of people.

I really think it's over, this time.

- Don't say that.

- But I think so.

I can tell.

Remember what you told me?

It doesn't matter if

I'm not worried about myself.

It doesn't matter if I die as long

as the others continue but now

It's a total defeat.

How are you? How are you?

May God have mercy on her.

How are you?

We were very sad for your mother.

May her place be in paradise.

Welcome, welcome.

Come here, my girl.

Come here, my girl.

Oh, this is his daughter.

Come, you beautiful.

We're so happy

that you're finally home.

Bravo!

Hello.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning.

What's the news

from the other village?

We lived in Paris,

near the "Simplon" subway station.

My Mom worked

at the Kurdish Institute.

At the corner of rue Lafayette

and rue du Faubourg-Poissonnière.

Seriously? It's a five-minute walk

from where I grew up.

My Mom wanted me to be a ballerina.

She had all these stereotypes

about life in France.

When I told her I wanted

to take jazz dance classes,

she almost had a heart attack.

Now can you tell me

why you left France?

Because our home is here.

Don't you miss Paris?

I do. Every single day.

Was it

Was it your first time?

You don't want me to leave.

You'll do anything to make me stay.

Quite the contrary, Antoine.

If you were staying,

nothing would have happened.

But since you're leaving,

it's as if nothing happened.

It meant something to me.

It did happen.

You're right.

What happened tonight

meant something.

But it was just tonight.

Now it's behind us, okay?

Okay, Antoine?

Shouldn't be meeting

like this, Nasser.

- It's too dangerous for you.

- Yeah, well, it's all falling apart.

I had to k*ll some woman,

and then, they made me cut off her head

'cause she's European.

Look, we have

we have psychologists--

f*cking psychologist.

What the f*ck you talking about, man?

They're moving me to Ar-Raqqah.

Want me to work

with some Libyan psychopath.

- Abu Rida al-Libi?

- Yeah.

f*ck.

That's That is f*cking brilliant.

Can't believe it.

He's head of the military

council in Ar-Raqqah.

I mean, I knew you were a f*cking star.

I had no idea that they'd pay

attention to you quite so quickly.

Do you even understand

what this means? Yeah?

Now, all the massacres, all the mass

executions, they're gonna be on me now.

Yeah. Yeah, of course.

Of course, I understand.

But you have to understand

something, too, eh?

This Libyan, he will know

about all of their operations.

Not just here, in Syria,

but all around the world.

If they're planning

another 9/11, another 7/7,

now, he will be involved.

This is exactly the kind

of information we need.

- No, f*ck that. I'm out.

- What?

Yeah. I'm taking Paul and Iyad,

and we're going to Sulaymaniyah,

and then we're gonna

fly home from there. f*ck this.

Hey, look-- No. Come on, seriously.

- Let's talk about this--

- Get the f*ck off me, man.

- Gimme the f*cking keys.

- No. I'm not--

Gimme the f*cking keys!

- Stand down! Stand down!

- Your f*cking hands!

- No! Lower your weapon!

- Your f*cking hands!

- Stand down!

- Show me your f*cking hands!

Just put your hands

Put your hands on the dash.

Okay?

Yeah? On the dash.

Now, will you f*ck off

and let us talk?

Look.

If you go back to London now,

it is more than likely that you will

be detained at Immigration.

I'll tell them I work for you.

If they got any questions,

they can direct them to the MI6.

I'm not with MI6, Nasser.

- Brilliant. Can I go now?

- I never said I was.

Your brain just

filled in the blanks

in the way it wanted to

fill in the blanks.

But, I never claimed to be with MI6.

Don't f*ck with me, Stanley.

Who are you?

Who the f*ck are you?

- Answer me.

- I'm Mossad.

I work for Israel.

- Bullshit. You're British.

- I was

I was born in London,

obviously, but

but I'm Israeli,

and I do work for the Mossad.

I'm sorry.

I expect you're feeling

betrayed right now.

And the very worst thing you can do

at this moment is go back home.

I'm sure this is gonna

sound f*cking crazy, but

you are gonna have to trust me again.

Like you always did.

Antoine, there's a patrol. Be quiet.

Stop, stop!

Papers.

Here you go.

May Allah protect the mujahidin.

- Where are you from?

- Qarajah.

- Muslim?

- Of course, Muslim.

- Sunni or Allawi?

- Of course, Ahl Al-Suna!

Surat Al-Masad. Surat Al-Masad!

In the name of God

most Gracious, most Merciful.

May the hands of Abu Lahab

be ruined, and ruined is he.

His wealth will not avail him

or that which he gained.

He will burn in a flaming fire.

- He has chickens. And some boxes.

- What's in the boxes?

Clothes. I sell them

at Umm Dibs market.

Abu Atta, search the boxes.

Who is she?

My daughter.

- Tell her to remove her Niqab.

- It's forbidden, Sheikh!

I want to see her face.

So, do me a favor,

and k*ll her right now.

If you see her without niqab, you will

dishonor me and my entire family,

and I will have to k*ll her myself.

I will ask her something

from the Quran.

From the Quran?

She knows nothing about it.

Look at her. She's a little girl.

She's ignorant.

All she knows is to clean

the house and make food.

Child, tell the Sheikh your name. Talk!

Siham, Sheikh sir.

I will let you go.

But I'm taking the chickens.

Of course.

We are supporters

Sheikh.

Abu Atta. Bring the chickens and come.

Stop! Don't move b*tch!

Drop the g*n!

Drop the g*n to the ground!

Raise your hands.

Raise your hands, b*tch.

Kneel to the ground!

Kneel to the ground!

Take off the Niqab!

Take off the Niqab! Take it off!

I'm gonna get a lot of money

for you, b*tch.

Maybe I keep you to myself.

Make you pay every day

for k*lling my friends.

I would have liked you to stay.
