Where's my daughter?
She was with you. Where is she now?
- She's been taken. - Taken?
We're gonna go get her back.
It's Hamzad.
He's gonna try to grab her himself.
Parwana is home.
My name is Omar. We have much to discuss.
You are looking at what is believed to be
one of the largest deposits of lithium in the world.
Faraz Hamzad controls it.
And it has made him the most unexpected of friends.
Hamzad, he's no friend of the Taliban.
So, how much money must be in the ground over there
to have brought mortal enemies together like this?
Is that monster you?
Who are you?
What did we just walk into back there?
Taliban intelligence.
She is dead. Emily.
She's been dead for a few days now.
You have no idea what she's capable of.
You don't even have any idea who she is.
I know who he is.
It's just a matter of time before she says the wrong thing,
and he can't bear it anymore.
If we are lucky
some of us may survive this.
This way.
What do you know?
I know that you work for Faraz Hamzad.
And I know that you have kidnapped a federal law enforcement officer
and that you are keeping her against her will.
So you know nothing.
You do not know where we are.
You do not know who we are.
You do not even know your own name.
Your mother kept it all from you.
My name is Angela Adams.
I'm a special agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
And if you cooperate with me,
there is a chance that I may be able to persuade the Bureau
not to arrest and prosecute you for kidnapping.
You will wear this.
It will help when he sees you.
When who sees me?
Your father.
You think that when my father gets here, he's going to care about what I'm wearing?
Your father is here.
Your father is Faraz Hamzad.
Your name is Parwana.
You were stolen in the dead of night from him by your mother
and by an American we called guest and friend.
That is who you are.
Mm-hmm.
Well, then I should see him then.
I mean, he must want to see me.
No.
Well, if he's my father, don't you think I should be talking to him directly?
Parwana.
Parwana, oh.
Parwana. Parwana.
Why are you here?
You kidnapped me.
You came with Harold Harper when I summoned him.
You found me as much as I found you.
Why?
I don't know.
My father, right behind you.
He fought the Soviets the first time they came.
He served at the right hand of a king.
He was a great man.
And his father's father.
He fought Queen Victoria's army to keep his own free.
He was a scholar. He... He wrote poetry.
I wanted to know where I came from.
That's why I got on the plane.
This... This is where you came from.
You're standing amongst men who faced British invaders,
Persian invaders, Mongol invaders.
Men who sacrificed everything to pass something on to their children.
Men who fought, bled,
argued and wrote to keep their country free.
I want to know about my mother.
I wanna know who she was.
I wanna know who she was to you.
What did they tell you?
That you were dangerous to my mother.
And that my father helped her escape from you.
What else did they say about me?
Nothing.
Your mother was cold and unfeeling.
She manipulated. She lied.
She betrayed whomever, whenever and however it suited her.
No.
She was something else...
before that.
In addition to that. There must have been more in her.
There must have been hope in her and love in her.
I never saw it
because she never showed it to me.
But I want to know what I was missing and I wanna know why.
I have come so far...
from where I started.
I've come all this way.
And I'll wear whatever it is you want me to wear.
And I'll answer to whatever name it is you want to call me.
Just tell me one...
good thing about her.
Tell me what I was missing.
I do not know what you thought would happen there.
I do not know what you hope will happen now.
But I know that we need to talk
about this path
you have put us on.
I know
if we do not talk about it,
you will not like where it leads.
Or what it costs.
I apologize, I tried to get him to leave
but he was insistent on speaking to you.
Sir,
it is very good to see you again.
Who are you?
We met when I was installed as the chief of the Directorate branch
overseeing Panjshir operations.
Ah.
Directorate.
You're a spy.
I am an admirer of yours.
I grew up with the stories of your greatness.
So I've come to pay my respects to you.
And to offer you my service.
Thank you, I don't need any service you provide.
Are you certain?
Because I think I can help you to handle
the unfortunate situation
with your guest.
Please understand,
in the Panjshir,
there is very little to know that I don't know.
But in Kabul...
in the ministries,
where the real decision are made,
I am the one looking in.
But I listen.
I hear things.
And today I hear that you are holding
an American
that may be very dangerous to you.
You should get your hearing checked.
What I am hearing is wrong?
Yes.
Hmm.
There is no lithium deposit near Meshbahar,
a deposit that your people discovered and that
you control and that Kabul
considers critical to its economic survival?
A deposit that you have made yourself indispensable to operating
owing to relationships you hold with the US?
Relationships which are now strained after
you kidnapped an FBI agent.
Tread carefully boy.
You do not know me,
nor the danger you are inviting.
You missed
your last
payment.
The tribute
you pay the Ministry for the right to ignore their rules,
our rules,
my rules...
...it never arrived.
It seems to me that you have acquired a ticking time bomb,
and for some reason you cannot figure out how to let it go.
So give it
to me.
Tread carefully,
because I know you Omar,
Abdul's nephew.
You were passed over by your uncle
for more coveted positions.
Shall we call Abdul together
and see which is more important to him,
your questions
or my commerce?
One last thing.
I hear there may be two Americans
attempting to rescue the hostage you
didn't kidnap.
One of them, a senior member of the FBI.
I will do the best I can to stop them.
Out of
respect
for you.
We are late?
I don't know if it is true...
He would not come here if it were not true.
I want to know why it is true.
Why?
We know why,
that man just told you why,
and he will be back sooner or later to tell you again.
I can handle him, he is no threat.
He is no threat as long as our money holds his masters at bay.
But that shield is weakening, and he knows it.
This situation will not hold.
We stand balanced
between mortal enemies.
That is not a position in which one can make sudden, wild moves.
The moment we release her,
we would have to explain why we took her in the first place.
We have reached the point
at which something must break.
It is only a question of what it will be,
and how much it will hurt.
Don't say a word.
There's nothing I want to hear.
There's nothing more to say.
I lived with it for so long, I...
I woke up to it, I went to sleep to it.
I drowned in it, wanting to know.
And not wanting to know.
And now I know. And...
it's over.
You are exactly what I was afraid you would be.
You are your mother.
You fucking coward.
You don't want to hear from me?
You are dying to hear from me.
I know everything that you want to know.
You're just afraid to hear me say it.
You shouldn't have come here.
I didn't come here.
You brought me here.
You killed my friend. You fucking abducted me.
You did all of that, and you don't have anything that you want to ask me?
Either you're a fucking moron,
or a fucking monster, or a fucking coward.
Goddamn it. Pick one! Or ask me what you want to ask me!
Fuck!
What happened?
I don't know.
Whatever this was it wasn't working.
So we will do this for now.
Of course.
English only?
You will stay here for now.
This is Faruza.
She will take care of you.
Come.
Can you... Can you stop?
Please?
- Who are you? - I am Bina's daughter.
She was Khadija's husband's sister.
Well, I don't know who they are.
I am your cousin.
You know who I am?
Yes.
How do you know?
I remember.
We did not talk about it. We don't talk about those things.
But there was always an empty space in this house.
We knew someone was missing.
We felt it every day.
I don't understand what's happening.
To be very honest, I assumed you would be dead by now.
If there was a plan before...
there certainly is no plan now.
I have questions.
Well, of course you do.
Did you know my mother?
Yes.
Why did she leave the way she did? What happened?
She still will not tell you?
She's dead.
Why did she leave?
Was she afraid?
Was she in danger? Was she upset?
These are not the right questions.
I'm entitled to some answers.
- You're angry? - Yeah.
- You're goddamn right, I'm angry. - Everyone is angry.
And look where it has gotten us all.
When you are ready to ask different questions,
you will know where to find me.
Thank you.
Ow.
Oh, it's okay.
You are good with him.
You have your own children back home?
No.
Not really.
What's his name?
Farouk.
Is his father here?
When the Taliban returned, we fought.
My husband was one of the first to lose his life, trying to protect us.
And then your father sent a message to Kabul by a courier.
And by nightfall, their soldiers were gone.
He keeps us safe.
Always.
Without him, things would get very hard for us here.
It would be very dangerous.
It would be horrible.
He says he's been patient, but now it's his turn.
Do you want me to save you?
I'm sorry.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. Okay. I'm coming.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Oh. You have a little hideout here.
Faraz Hamzad has lied.
To you.
To everyone.
The extent of the lies remains unknown,
but their existence is apparent.
I have seen it myself.
Our relationship with Faraz Hamzad...
...is being reevaluated.
Perhaps...
...you have been right,
and it would be wise for us
to exert a little more control over his business.
It would be a good time for you
to pay him a visit.
This was supposed to be impossible.
You said sanctions would not be made against our family,
that you had assurances.
Assurances no one could violate.
I am looking at it as we speak.
Everything is stopped.
There are Talib soldiers here.
Someone on your side of things has violated those assurances.
Someone powerful enough not to be bound by them.
Whoever did this,
they have put us in an impossible situation,
and I fear what is coming now.
I did good?
Are American girls not taught to sew?
Not this one, I guess.
I watched my mother do it.
All of it.
It always seemed like this burden.
Like something she'd been sentenced to.
I used to sit there and watch her,
trying to puzzle out what it was she wished she was doing instead.
Now I'm wondering if it's the one thing that made her happy.
The thing that made her feel connected to the place that she learned it.
I swear, I thought if I ever found a place that knew her,
that all those questions would find answers.
Like there'd be this endless supply of answers.
But maybe that's not real.
Maybe that's what a ghost is.
The absence of answers in the shape of a person.
Put these on now.
I don't understand.
It's not safe for you here anymore. Just put them on.
Wa... Stop.
What is happening?
What isn't safe?
What is this?
He's trying to push to see the commander.
I am here for Hamzad.
Move these men away.
He does not answer to you,
and he certainly does not answer to this.
I know he lied.
I know you are holding a woman of great value and no identity.
The Minister is no longer protecting him.
Will you be producing him,
or will I be coming to take him?
Come with me.
I will take you to him.
Let's go.
What are you doing?
You have made this so much worse than it needed to be.
We could have
bribed you,
we could have
conspired with you to gain influence
if that's what you wanted.
I've made it worse?
A moment ago I'd have settled for Hamzad alone.
Now?
The moment you lower your weapons,
I'll be conscripting every boy in this village.
You've made this a catastrophe.
So, I ask again.
What do you think you're doing?
Where are we going? - To a place to disappear.
A cave that I once told your mother of.
You will be safe there for a while, until I can find a way
to send you away safely and for good.
I'm sorry you lost your mother.
Must have been hard for you.
It was.
Thank you.
Are you happy?
I don't know what that means.
I don't know why I brought you here.
I believe I had a need to see you
that lived beyond choice.
Beyond words.
To say goodbye to you,
for the first time,
and for the last time.
I just wanted to know what you are returning to...
and if you would be happy there.
I don't know.
Can I ask you a question?
Yes.
What do you think of me?
That may not be a fair question to ask.
I just...
I'd like to know.
You want to know something good about your mother.
I will tell you that.
Your mother taught me the most valuable lesson I've ever learned in my life.
That you can love someone,
or you can trust them.
And no matter who the person is,
no matter how deeply either feeling is felt,
no matter how impossible it seems,
eventually you will have to choose.
I don't believe that.
I'm glad you heard it from me, then.
I'm glad you have time to make peace with it
before the lesson decides it wants to be learned.
What?
The cave is there.
I thought you said nobody knew about it.
They don't.
