As-salamu alaykum.
My name is Khadija Young.
I am the Iraqi bureau chief for ITT Europe.
My... my contact is Lisa Miller in the London office.
Her information is on this ID.
I'm a journalist.

Please, just tell me what you want to know.
What do you want to know? Ask me something.

My name is Khadija Young!
I'm the foreign correspondent for ITT News.

Are you shot?
You were in the Marine Security Guard in the convoy.
Looks like you're shot.
I was coming in and out there.
Did you talk?
I didn't. I didn't tell him anything useful.
You talked.
Name, job title, address. That's it.
What'd he ask you?
- What did he ask you? - Nothing.

I'm... I'm a journalist.
The US Embassy will reward you if you could just
send word of our capture to them.
Please. You can help us, OK?

Oh, fuck! Look me up!
Use the internet! I am an accredited journalist.
An overseas correspondent.
What are you doing in Mosul?
I'm a fucking ITT journalist!
The grey-haired man in the convoy worked in
- the Foreign Service. - Bullshit!
- He told me you worked in the embassy. - Bullshit!
He told me so just before I shot him. He was not lying.
You had no right! You had no right to attack our convoy!
There is an embassy in Baghdad.
There is a consulate two and a half hours away in Kirkuk.
There's a consulate one and a half hours away in Erbil.
But there's no consulate in Mosul.
So.
What are you doing in Mosul?
I'm an overseas correspondent
in the foreign bureau at ITT...
[SHE CRIES]
[SHE SOBS]
Look at me.
What is your name?
Kat Young.
What are you doing in Mosul?
I am...
I'm on a diplomatic mission.
What do you do for the state department?
I write freelance as an overseas correspondent for ITT News.
- Do you know who Hassan Atwa is? - No.
[SHE CRIES]
- Do you know who Hassan Atwa is? - Yes.
- Do you know who Ahmed Yasin is? - Yes!

I...
I didn't even want to go to Mosul.
Everyone else... Everyone else was in Basra.
I was just...
I was just filling in. I didn't ask for any of this.
The man who took your thumbnail... Hamza.
He said that you'd be easy to break.
What would you do?
Would you be easy?
If you act like a victim
people will victimise you.
You wouldn't talk?
That guard called you Oualid.
The kunya for Oualid is "Abu Khalid".
I know you're from Mosul.
Your accent is Maslawi
that's the one I always have trouble with.
So that makes you Oualid Chalabi
of the Ummah Brotherhood.
So I know your name.
I know where you're from.
And I know what you're doing in Mosul.
Chalabi...
Chalabi is a Shiite name.
Mosul is Sunni.
There can't be that many Chalabis left here.
Pretty sure Special Activities Division could make a list.
So I can find your family.
I can find out where you live.
So you don't need to talk, Oualid.
I can find out everything about you.
[HE SPEAKS ARABIC]
- [SHE SPEAKS ARABIC] - [HE REPEATS]
What do you think I do in the State Department?
I think you work in the foreign service.
I work part time as a translator to fulfil my work visa.
Then how do you know about the Special Activities Division?
Because my name is Khadija Young
and I am the foreign correspondent for ITT International News
and that is what I'm doing in Mosul.

I don't think we should dwell on it.

Yeah. We need to focus on what we can control.
We move forward. We strategise.
What are you, anyways?
Politician, diplomat?
I'm a journalist.
Written anything I heard of?
I work for ITT Europe.
Never heard of it.
Well, I'm the Iraqi Bureau Chief.
How many people in that bureau?
Just me.
So why do they call it a bureau?
Look, do you know how many news outlets can keep full-time foreign bureaus?
You're not even full-time?
I'm sorry, am I on trial here?
Yeah. You are.
What is your problem?
Put my life on the line to escort a fucking journalist?
And you're not even a real journalist?
How is any of this my fault?
Cos I don't wanna die for nothing!
Well, that's even more reason to stay focused.
- We look for an opportunity... - Lankford is dead.
- Put our heads together... - Taylor is dead.
- Stay calm... - The staff sergeant's dead.
The DSS agent's dead. My whole detachment is dead
even the fucking diplomat!
James Willett?
He was the Consulate Deputy Director.
- Well, he was shot. - Dead?
Dead.
So it's just us?
Just us.
[CALL TO PRAYER ECHOES]
What mosque is that?
Mm...
If we're in the centre of Mosul then it's the Great Mosque of al-Nouri.
The one with the leaning steeple?
Minaret.
Whatever.
If we were in the centre of the market, that mosque would be deafening.
Mm.
Must be a mile off?
Due north, judging by the sunset.
So what neighbourhood is a mile due south of the mosque?
Hayy al Jawsaq.
It's near the airport.
Lots of buildings.
Easy to hide us.
I'm not great with, uh, men
especially... Southern jock football types. No offense.
I, uh...
I didn't mean to piss you off earlier.
Sorry I...

Real sorry.
I, uh... woke up on the wrong side of the bed today.
[HE COUGHS]
[DISTANT CHATTER IN ARABIC]
Our host is Abu Khalid
founder of the Ummah Brotherhood.
- I heard of him. - Yeah.
He bombed government buildings in Baghdad and Fallujah.
Kidnapped civilian contractors from Syria.
Blew up US army barracks in Kuwait and tried for a US air base in Qatar.
Jesus.
Why's he torturing two lowlifes like us?
He thinks we have information.
Do we?
No one holds up under torture.
There's a reason it's been around for thousands of years
because it fucking works.
What did Abu Khalid ask you?
He wanted to know if I worked at the embassy.
He asked me if I worked at the embassy too.
You think he wants to bomb the embassy?
That's what Abu Khalid does. He bombs things.
We have...
embassy access codes, security protocols.
Mm-hmm.
We do have valuable information.
The embassy is the biggest target in the country, 15,000 employees.
Christ.
Abu Khalid will keep us alive as long as we can help him.
As soon as we talk, he'll kill us.
Let's say you're right.
How many people would know the Ummah Brotherhood
is planning an attack on the embassy?
As far as we know...
two people.
So what do we do?
Step one, don't tell him anything.
Step two?
Get word to the embassy.
Step three?
Escape.

You're named for Khadija al-Kubra
the wife of the prophet.
First follower of Islam.
Mother of all Believers.
Your boss in the grey hair.
Do you think he had a right to be in Iraq?
I believe diplomats have a right to travel without being murdered.

May I?
[HE SIGHS]
- [FINGERS SNAP] - C'mere.
[HE TUTS] It's OK. It's OK.
I had a daughter.
One day...
I saw her crying in the street.
I asked her what was wrong.
And she said another girl had pushed her.
So I said
"Why don't you push her back?"
And she just...
looked at me.
With those big...
big, brown eyes.
And said, "Baba, if I didn't like it
why should she?"
She was clever.
Like you.
And tough.
Much tougher than me.
She only came up to my belt buckle, but she ran the whole house.
They burnt my house in a fireball.
I wasn't there.
She was.
She was my only child.
Was that before
or after you bombed US army barracks in Kuwait?
[HE SIGHS]
I'm sorry about what happened to your daughter, but...
you put her in harm's way
by living with non-combatants. That's... that's on your head.
[HELICOPTER WHIRS]
I think it's on the diplomat's head.
I did not invade your country.
You invaded mine.
And now half a million civilians are dead.
And you think I am the bad guy.
Do you know what the most important thing in life is?
Freedom?
Perseverance.
More than intellect.
More than birth.
Fortune smiles on those that never give up.
Because...
fate may be hard, for a day
a month, a year.
But one day
when you least expect it
fate takes a day off.
And something good sneaks through.
And you have to catch those moments of opportunity.
Like you and your soldier friend...
delivered to me
opportunity.
Contact the embassy.
They will pay good money for my release.
How did you learn Arabic, Khadija?
I was raised in Bahrain.
I went to a British International School.
Your accent is American.
My parents were victims of restructuring.
The, um...
State Department sent us back to the US.
I...
I went to a public high school in DC.
Kiboshed my British accent pretty damn quick.
You didn't like high school.
Everyone has a tough time in high school.
What was it?
Was it a boy?
When I attack the embassy, the gates will close.
The Marines will raise the vehicle barriers.
The employees will take their computers and retreat to the panic rooms.
You've practiced these lockdown drills.
So...
you will teach me
every procedure, every key card, every door code.
How long ago did your daughter die?
Would she about my age now?
Her whole little body burned.
Her skin...
peeling off
like a boiled tomato.
Her charred hair...
turned to ash.
But she was still alive.
I tried to...
reach out and hold her
one last time...
but when I... reached out
she screamed.
The pain.
I could not hold her.
Only watch her die.
I will not help you.
I am named for Khalid ibn al-Walid
the companion of the Prophet
a Sword of Allah.
I have seen so much more than you.
And I have survived... so much more than you.

Actually sounds kinda nice.
They put a sack over your head, turn the lights off
and leave you to sit in the dark. You lose your mind in a week.
Yeah, we need to escape.
[DISTANT CHATTER IN ARABIC]
I don't wanna just sneak away.
I wanna nail these guys.
How in the holy fuck are we gonna "nail these guys"?
And why do you care so much about nailing terrorists
if you're just a... journalist?
Who are you really?
Let go of me.
Mr Khalid seems to think it was worth it to attack your heavily-armed convoy
take your ass hostage, and interrogate the shit out of you.
Let go of me.
Now if I'm gonna die in here, cos of you
I have a right to know.
Who are you?
Do you know why they lock us in a room together?
C'mon.
A bunch of religious guys, locking an unmarried woman
in a cell with an unmarried man?
There's gotta be a pretty damn good reason.
So why'd they do it?
So, talk.

The army knows about this safe house.
How do you know which safe houses they know?
JSOC formed a task force
Special Activities Division, Delta Force
the 1st Brigade of the 4th Infantry.
They're calling in drones to wipe out every target on their list.
The Army knows about this safe house. It is on the damn list.
I knew you weren't a fucking journalist.
When's the strike?
I have absolutely no idea.
We just need to stay here and keep them occupied.
Sooner or later, the Army will call in a strike and kill Abu Khalid.
So we're supposed to just sit here and get tortured until we die?
That's your plan?
No. That is not what I'm saying.
You should be a motivational fucking speaker.
You are filling me with hope.
Look, what does Abu Khalid want?
Intel on the embassy.
So we give it to him. Slowly.
Layout, security protocols, the access codes...
But everything slightly wrong.
We plan it out. Rehearse it like lines in a play.
Our stories jibe...
We give him all the info, slow as possible.
It keeps us alive. And it keeps him coming back to this safe house.
It's not much.
It's not nothing.
And so, in the meantime, we...
look for a way out?
First, we plan.
And then?
Practise.
Thirty-five Marines on guard.
Five men to a detachment.
Four hour shifts...
Key card access by the north gate house.
Access code 537393...

Come here. Come on.
Shh, shh, shh.
It's OK.
I told them.
[HE BREATHES SHAKILY]
What did you tell them?
I'm sorry.
Luke, look at me.
What did you tell them?
Did you tell them about the embassy codes?
I told them about CIA.
I told them the CIA knows about this safe house.
I told them they're planning an airstrike.
Could come any day.
I told them we've been lying about the codes.
I told them...
Why?
Why? After all this, why now?
Why? Why?
- The only way to make them stop. - Oh, my God.
Oh, my God, you goddamned lightweight!
What did they do to you?
What did they do to you that they haven't done 100 times?
I mean, did they beat you?
- No. - Did they rape you?
God, no.
Did they call you bad names and hurt your fucking feelings?
They didn't do anything!
It was you.
What?
I heard you screaming for your life.
They told me they'd kill you if I didn't say anything, so I talked.
What was I supposed to do?
I wanted to save your life.
Fuck!

Come on.
It's OK. It's OK.
It's OK.
Shh, shh, shh.
Here, come on.
OK.
- OK. - I read once that, uh...
your body can only...
Your body can only produce... pain endorphins
for about 15 minutes
before it starts running dry.
[HE COUGHS]
[HE BREATHES SHAKILY]
Luke, you can take more.
OK? There's more in you.
I'm out of gas.
You're probably gonna be the last person I see alive.
I'm glad it was you.
[KAT]: Doesn't this mean anything to you?
Wanted to make my dad proud.
And do something with my life. Make a difference.
Be a hero?
All my life.
I didn't do much, did I?
Went to Iraq and got shot...
You're up to something.
You wanna be a hero, Luke?

OK... I'm so sorry.
We knew it'd be bad.
You... you don't deserve any of this.
It's OK.
I got something for you.
You got it?
[SHE LAUGHS]
You did it.
It's up to you now, Kat.
I know.
It's gotta mean something.
Everything we've been through.
You gotta get these guys.
I will, Luke.
[LUKE BREATHES SHAKILY]
People...
can only kick you...
when you're laying down.
When you stand up
they've got to look you in the eye.
Always stand up.
Oh, God... [HE PANTS]
Keep breathing.
No, I...
- No, I... - Yes, you can.
I can't take it.
- Just close your eyes. - [HE GROANS]
I want it to stop.
Do you remember the lake?
- Do you see the lake? - I can't take it.
The pine trees?
The fishing line where it meets the bobber in the water?
I see it.
Where are you?
My uncle's skiff.
Tell me.
I got something on the line.
Something good.

[CALL TO PRAYER ECHOES LOUDLY]
[CALL TO PRAYER ENDS]
[VOICE IN ARABIC ON LOUDSPEAKER]
You hid me by the Great Mosque of al-Nouri.
So there are no drone strikes.
You're afraid of bombs
like the one that crushed your house.
[SHE GRUNTS]
Why are you angry, Oualid?
Is it cos I kicked Hamza, your crazy car mechanic?
I'm not sorry I attacked your friend.
I don't know why you're angry with me. I have been open with you
and you keep sending in this asshole
to hurt me.
Talk to me, Oualid.
Why are you upset?
When I... I am the one who has the right to be upset
cos you...
cos you killed Luke.
[HAMZA SPEAKS ARABIC]
[HE CONTINUES IN ARABIC]
[HE SPEAKS ARABIC]
[KAT]: Why did you move us now, Oualid?
What changed?
You lied to me.
You and the soldier.
All these numbers, useless!
Why are the codes useless?
Were you listening to Luke?
[SHE LAUGHS] That guy was delirious.
He had a 105-degree fever
because you tortured him and wouldn't give him a doctor!
You do things...
to make me hurt you.
You like to be hurt.
Deep down...
you think...
you deserve it.
No.
- [ELECTRICITY ZAPS] - [SHE CRIES]
I like it...
I like it when you stop.
How do you know I will stop?
Hm?
You don't anymore.
I didn't stop with the soldier. I might not stop with you.
You want to get in my head.
You want to get in my head so badly.
- [ELECTRICITY ZAPS] - [SHE CRIES]
A man hurt you
when you were in high school.
What did he do to you?
Tell me.
- [ELECTRICITY ZAPS] - [SHE GROANS]
[SHE GASPS]
I was...
I was at a high school party.
I didn't have any friends.
The American kids didn't like me, I was...
raised in Bahrain, for Christ's sake.
I didn't know how to dress or be cool.
He was...
He was a football player, like Luke.
He seemed to like me.
I needed that.
Keep going.
We walked to my house.
He got weird.
I asked him, I asked him to leave.
He didn't.
And...
And then...
I don't know.
I don't know why it happened to me.
You chose to invite him into your home.
You're responsible.
No.
If you believe you are a victim
then you're powerless.
You felt helpless.
You wanted to feel powerful.
So you worked hard, you joined the CIA
and now you're in my cell.
Because of what a boy did to you in high school.
The problem is, Oualid
you're a crazy person.
[ELECTRICITY ZAPS]
You got that bomb dropped on your house.
The one that killed your daughter.
You're responsible.
[ELECTRICITY ZAPS]
Ah.
Look at you.
When we first met, I gave you a quarter of that pain
and you couldn't take it.
Now it's nothing to you.
The entry code.
To gain access to the embassy security doors.
The real code.
Tell me.
Will that kill me?
Yes.
OK.
I am choosing this.
Five-three-seven...
three...
nine...
nine.
You're mine, Khadija.
Forever.
