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! ‐ [laughs]
‐ 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.
[Paul scoffs]
Man, you're gonna be our bloody emir! ‐ Ha, yeah, yeah, yeah. Easy.
Let's just make sure we get through tonight first, yeah?

WOODY: We picked up ISIS 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?
[Kurdish chatter]
‐ What is that?
‐ My book.
‐ Your memoir?
‐ Poems,
stories.
It'll be a trilogy.
‐ You were not a soldier?
Like Ryan? ‐ Fuck 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 War,
the anarchist forces have a state of their own.
Fucking 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 ISIS are coming to kill 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.

we will rise again and bring salvation from holy Jerusalem.
IYAD: 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 fucking camera.
Watch them ignore us, bro, watch them.
