00:01:05 The twin towers came down in New York.
00:01:08 And suddenly, the world's attention
00:01:12 A country ravaged by war, for 23 years.
00:01:17 With Osama bin Laden and
00:01:21 ...the U.S. Started bombing Afghanistan.
00:01:25 The Taliban were a group of
00:01:28 ...who had occupied Afghanistan with
00:01:34 It reported that Pakistani soldiers
00:01:38 ...to fight alongside the Taliban.
00:01:41 After 9/11, Pakistan deserted the Taliban...
00:01:46 ...and the northern alliance Mujahiddeen,
00:01:52 A country that had been closed
00:01:57 ...suddenly opened up!
00:01:59 Thousands of Journalists went in by
00:02:03 To capture this exciting time,
00:02:08 Among them were Suhel and Jai.
00:02:34 So dude... Are you enjoying being
00:02:37 Balls, I'm enjoying this!
00:02:39 If only we'd listened to our parents...
00:02:40 ...should've become a doctor...
00:02:42 But no... we had to go and
00:02:47 Why did you have to tell the boss...
00:02:50 ...that we would get an interview
00:02:54 Now you'll die... definitely!
00:02:55 Hey, how was I to know that
00:03:01 These guys carry guns like
00:03:03 One of them even had a rocket launcher,
00:03:07 Not even 3 days since we got into
00:03:09 ...and here we are stuck in this mess.
00:04:23 Who are you guys?
00:04:25 We want to go to Kabul!
00:04:27 Where are you from?
00:04:30 Ah... India. Hindustan. - Oh,

00:04:53 Kabul? - Kabul?
00:04:57 Hello... hello... we need to go to Kabul...
00:05:01 Hello... bring the vehicle... understand?
00:05:28 Let's go to Kabul.
00:05:30 Doesn't this place have taxis?
00:08:31 Hotel Kabul.
00:08:39 Looks like a 5 star...
00:08:49 You're gonna get me killed one of these days.
00:08:52 Why did you have to promise the boss...
00:08:53 Stop repeating yourself!
00:08:55 Why not?
00:08:58 You be the hero if you must...
00:09:03 And this bloody Khyber... he's the one
00:09:05 What did I do?
00:09:07 The first day you met us you said
00:09:11 You guys went on and on about
00:09:15 Now meet them.
00:09:32 At it, again?
00:09:50 Come on... Want to exercise?
00:10:12 Come... Let's go... I've contacted
00:10:16 who have held some Pakistani Taliban.
00:10:18 They've hidden these guys
00:10:34 Will they let us interview them?
00:10:36 Of course! That's why they've
00:10:40 ...for interviews... in exchange of money.
00:10:44 If caught alive, a Talib is priceless these days.
00:10:48 How much will they charge?
00:10:50 I was told 200 dollars.
00:10:53 That's a bit too much, man!
00:10:55 But we do need the interview.
00:10:58 Ok, what else will they do for 200 dollars?
00:10:59 I guess they might dance foryou
00:11:03 Let's go...!
00:11:05 Do you think these guys will come?
00:11:43 They should be here anytime.
00:11:48 But they have to be cautious.
00:11:51 This stuff is risky!
00:11:57 No one should know they've got
00:12:09 Are these the guys?
00:12:15 Doctor, I can't see a thing!
00:12:20 Doctor, I can't see a thing!
00:12:36 Khyber, ask them how much further?
00:12:38 What? - Ask them how far is this place?
00:12:42 No... They'll get angry.
00:12:44 Screw them. Why are you so scared?
00:12:50 Mujahid brother... how far is it?
00:13:41 What happened?
00:13:44 Looks like the Taliban prisoners have run away...
00:13:47 Our Taliban?
00:13:49 You mean the ones we paid for?
00:13:53 Will they refund our money?
00:13:57 I'll ask...
00:13:59 Will they even come back?
00:14:03 Shit, this is real bad luck!
00:14:09 What the hell...
00:14:18 Talib...
00:14:35 There go 200 dollars...
00:14:38 The camera... Are you mad?
00:14:41 You asked them for a refund!
00:14:45 Why shouldn't I?
00:14:46 And You! Why didn't you take a shot?
00:14:49 At least we would have proof
00:14:51 What? You need to be alive to
00:14:54 Why didn't you interview him?
00:14:55 Where are you running away,
00:14:56 Who would you like to shoot first?
00:15:00 Me or my mad friend who is shooting you?"
00:15:04 You have lost it! Refund! Refund!
00:15:19 What the hell is that?
00:15:22 The opening shot of our story...
00:15:37 Buzkashi is being played first time
00:15:42 The Taliban had banned this sport.
00:15:45 Why?
00:15:46 They said it's too violent!
00:15:51 Those Taliban guys were a riot...
00:15:54 Come. Let's get into the field and shoot.
00:15:56 Be careful. People also get killed in this.
00:15:59 What? You get killed when you go to pee...
00:16:02 ...you get killed when you go to play...?
00:16:04 What the hell can you do here?
00:16:14 Suhel, you stay right behind me.
00:16:16 Through the camera I can't judge
00:16:19 Just warn me, okay?
00:16:21 Come, I am there. - I am there!
00:16:25 Come on... let's go overthere and shoot!
00:16:27 You want me killed!
00:17:08 Suhel, that pack of horses is headed this way.
00:17:21 Hey guys... Watch out!
00:17:24 What the hell!
00:17:47 You want to kill me?
00:17:49 I told you guys to be careful! People die in this.
00:17:53 I saw that Talib in the crowd.
00:17:54 You are so shit scared that
00:17:57 You couldn't see the whole army of horses...
00:17:59 ...and you saw that bloody Talib?
00:18:03 Jai... Believe me... I saw that man.
00:18:04 Screw it. Those horses could have killed me...
00:18:06 I'm leaving this job.
00:19:02 Oh... Indian Cigarette! - Yes.
00:19:05 Can I have one please?
00:19:12 Thank you.
00:19:15 Hey you Santa Claus...
00:19:18 ...now send me the kebabs fast.
00:19:20 I hope everybody here doesn't do this.
00:19:22 Why are you such a scrooge?
00:19:27 You know the problem... I have only
00:19:31 Any other brand hurts my throat.
00:19:36 Do I look like a cigarette wending
00:19:47 Khyber... why do only women beg
00:19:51 They don't have an option.
00:19:53 Almost half the women are widows.
00:20:01 The Taliban stopped all women from working.
00:20:05 They were not allowed to leave home unless
00:20:12 If a woman was spotted alone on the streets...
00:20:16 ...they would beat her like an animal.
00:20:22 That's why I hate them so much.
00:20:25 Some of them are still hiding around.
00:20:27 If we catch them, we will beat
00:20:34 Can we please do an interview
00:20:41 General Musharraf has dubbed
00:20:44 ...as a conspiracy by radical groups.
00:20:46 He said that most Pakistani political
00:20:53 ...with his decision to help American
00:20:58 These groups have joined the Afghan refugees...
00:21:01 ...to protest against the government...
00:21:02 ...but their efforts have been unsuccessful.
00:21:04 See how quickly the Pakistan government
00:21:10 They created the Taliban...
00:21:12 and now they say they will help the Americans
00:21:17 Bloody liars... they are killing their
00:21:20 In Afghanistan's Kunduz area...
00:21:22 ...more than 50 Taliban have been killed by
00:21:25 Down with the Taliban! - Allah is great!
00:21:38 President Musharraf is unhappy
00:21:49 ...and masjids being used for
00:21:53 In the battle that's been going
00:21:54 ...near Mazar-e-Sharif in Afghanistan...
00:21:57 ...more than 200 Taliban have been killed.
00:21:59 Hearthat?
00:22:01 God alone knows how many amongst
00:22:04 And the guys sitting in Islamabad
00:22:08 ...that none of our men are in Afghanistan.
00:22:11 And there, across the border...
00:22:12 ...the Afghans are hunting them
00:22:14 And our government is doing
00:22:19 The American dollar is worth much more
00:22:23 You have only 4 months of service left.
00:22:27 Why botheryourself over politics?
00:22:31 We can do nothing about it.
00:22:40 There! The bloody American Special Forces...
00:22:44 ...have brought anothertruckload!
00:22:45 The bastards herd them like cattle...
00:22:55 God knows how many of our men
00:23:11 Is he asking us to fire?
00:23:14 Careful! Make sure you don't get him.
00:23:34 Khyber, I completely agree with you.
00:23:37 The Taliban did some really horrible things...
00:23:39 ...but not respecting women is the worst.
00:23:41 How can you not respect women...?
00:23:45 I bet she's coming this way!
00:23:47 What a smile!
00:23:48 You guys seem to be the centre

00:25:15 ...or if not Osama, then a chat
00:25:19 That will give your network some ratings.
00:25:22 As far as I am concerned...
00:25:25 Over and done with this blessed place if...
00:25:28 ...if I can get up close with a Taliban fugitive.
00:25:31 But they've all disappeared, either dead,

00:37:30 11 players stand on the field, scratching
00:37:33 See... even yourfriend doesn't
00:37:37 This bugger has no clue about anything!
00:37:38 All he does is body building all day long.
00:37:42 Look ahead.
00:37:49 Kapil Dev is a better player...
00:37:56 Throw this out.
00:38:38 This was one of the most fertile lands
00:38:42 The grapes from here were exported
00:38:50 Nothing remains today... its all over!
00:38:54 These guys destroyed everything.
00:39:01 What did they gain from destroying
00:39:04 Why blame others? You guys

00:39:09 Had Pakistan not interfered, Afghanistan
00:39:15 Well, Pakistan has also provided shelter...
00:39:18 ...to you guys forthe past 20 years.
00:39:19 You have been eating ourfood forfree
00:39:21 We didn't start the war, you did!

00:40:36 We've been given strict orders to seal the border.
00:40:41 All of you will have to be alert.
00:40:43 But Sir, our men are still crossing the border.
00:40:47 And who told you that the ones crossing
00:40:52 Not a single Pakistani is in Afghanistan.
00:41:08 The Colonel has got the same order
00:41:13 Make sure this post is ready by evening.
00:41:22 There goes... our bloody High Command!
00:41:28 Stop here!

00:42:35 Do any of you know how to drive?
00:42:42 Do you know how to drive or not?

00:42:48 I swear...
00:43:07 Get inside the car!
00:43:32 Why are you taking our passports?

00:44:19 Come down and fight, you bastards!
00:44:24 This guy's crazy!
00:44:26 They'll drop a bomb on us!
00:44:29 Where the hell are you headed?
00:44:33 This is also a similar route.
00:44:36 If we get back on the road, the Americans
00:44:38 Shut up!
00:44:38 Hello, are we going in the right direction?
00:44:41 You said this is the way to Pakistan.
00:44:44 We're going on and on, and we haven't
00:44:47 Is it dangerous around here?
00:44:49 Khyber is right. You don't know the power
00:44:52 I'm not scared of your Americans!
00:44:57 I thought the Americans were yours
00:45:01 Now he realizes...
00:45:04 The Americans are loyal to no one.
00:45:10 You chaps seemed very happy
00:45:12 ...from the Americans to fight the Russians?
00:45:14 Yes we did... but only to defend our country.
00:45:18 Unlike you guys...
00:45:20 ...who took money from the Americans...
00:45:22 Please! There's no point in fighting like this.
00:45:26 You're sensible. Tell your driverto shut up
00:45:31 We need to halt forthe night.
00:45:33 This bastard always has a problem!
00:45:38 My brother... Please don't start
00:45:42 Why don't you just do as you are told?
00:45:45 How can I?
00:45:47 The Americans bomb every car
00:45:51 And if we escape the Americans,
00:45:54 Now who is this Hazara?
00:45:56 The Hazara Mujahidin control this area.
00:45:59 These guys are the most brutal criminals
00:46:08 In orderto save bullets they ram a nail
00:46:15 It's cheaperthat way.
00:46:17 Ya right... The longest nail should go
00:46:25 Who is that?
00:46:31 I don't know! This area shouldn't
00:46:35 Slow the car down.
00:46:47 I can't believe it. He ran away.
00:46:49 Khyber, what a horror story...
00:46:54 But it's a true story. The guys ahead
00:46:59 You are joking... right? - No.
00:47:14 We were kidnapped by a Talib. And I think
00:47:18 So... he must be somewhere around here.
00:47:21 What's he saying?
00:47:23 They are journalists from India, and we had
00:47:28 He ran away upon seeing you.
00:47:30 Correct. He ran away.
00:47:34 Journalists. India.
00:47:46 Keep smiling at them... but I suspect
00:47:53 Why are you saying that?
00:48:16 Shit!
00:48:29 We have to take them to the commander
00:48:31 Commander...? But these guys
00:48:34 Don't argue. We have to take them.
00:48:39 They say they are the local commander's men.
00:48:43 They want to file your report on the Talib.
00:48:51 Not you... just these two.
00:48:56 They want just the two of you to follow them.
00:49:03 Suhel... be careful.
00:49:09 Suhel, pull your jacket down from behind.
00:49:12 Do you have to ask "why" for everything?
00:49:16 Forget it!
00:49:43 What's up?
00:49:53 Move!
00:00:21 They would have looted you...
00:00:22 ...driven a nail into your heads, and sold
00:00:31 Give me a cigarette.
00:00:40 Thanks for saving our lives.
00:00:50 No need to thank me.
00:00:53 I need you alive in orderto reach the border.
00:01:03 You sonofabitch!
00:01:05 What's the difference between you
00:01:08 You both kill to suit yourselves.
00:01:12 Bastard, you pissed on me.
00:01:16 Now I'll shoot you and leave you
00:01:20 But before you die, let's hearfrom you...
00:01:24 Speak up, you Bastard!
00:01:27 We did! - Who?
00:01:31 Pakistan!
00:01:36 Take his gun away.
00:01:46 Release the lock! - Where is it?
00:01:51 OK. Forget it. Might go off by mistake...
00:01:58 Now let's hearyou, you dog...
00:02:00 ...who was the best all rounder...
00:02:03 Jai, this is no time to fool around.
00:02:06 I'm not fooling around. Tell me bastard!
00:02:12 Kapil Dev.
00:02:17 I will take this bastard to Kabul and
00:02:21 I'll get a reward. - No. We won't
00:02:25 ...won't be able to pee...
00:02:29 Let's tie him up and leave him here.
00:02:32 Give me your gun.
00:03:03 Go ahead... do yourthing.
00:03:24 Mind blowing!
00:03:32 How do these Americans reach everywhere?
00:03:39 Look, Taliban.
00:03:53 Do it now at least! - Can I?
00:03:57 Shoot! You horny bastard!
00:04:18 OK. Enough shooting!
00:04:27 Can I get one last cigarette?
00:04:30 What? You have already had
00:04:32 What if I get a sore throat? - Grant a
00:04:47 Haider, you carry on with the car.
00:04:50 ...lf that's fine with you guys?
00:04:54 The seat next to me is absolutely empty...
00:04:56 I must really thank you guys.
00:04:58 I was pretty sure they were
00:05:00 Naah! I think they were more
00:05:36 Khyber! You're a hero! - Jai, at least
00:05:40 Yeah! The bastard must be puffing
00:05:46 Bastards, they ate all my chocolates.
00:05:51 Thank God, they did not mess up
00:05:54 Passport! - Passport?
00:05:56 That bastard's still got our passports.
00:06:01 It's not a suit I'm talking about.
00:06:02 They're passports.
00:06:03 How do we leave this hellhole
00:06:05 Even if we get out, how do
00:06:06 No, let's go back and get them.
00:06:08 What?? Are you mad? You want to go
00:06:10 So what? It's been only 5 minutes
00:06:12 He's all tied up anyway.
00:06:16 I told you we should have shot
00:06:21 This time we'll kill the bastard.
00:06:28 But why did you give your passports
00:06:32 Here, she's started her interview again...
00:06:33 ...lets take her back and tie her up again.
00:06:36 What did he say? - Nothing.
00:06:43 Shit!
00:06:45 The bastard's gone! I told you
00:06:50 I've lost my reward too!
00:06:54 Grant a dying man his last wish...
00:07:00 What do we do now?
00:07:02 We'll have to go to the Indian Embassy.
00:07:04 That was bombed long time back!
00:07:09 Let's get out of here.
00:07:10 Their men must be headed this way...
00:07:12 ...I think that's why he also ran away.
00:07:21 I told you to leave the passports
00:07:24 Hotel? You call that war monument a hotel?
00:07:28 There's no ceiling in that place!
00:07:39 Oh! Shit!
00:08:12 Tell that bastard to hand over his pistol.
00:08:24 Stop the car!
00:08:31 Get out! All of you! Get your cameras along.
00:09:05 Shoot his pics!
00:09:08 Shoot his pics... just like you shot mine!
00:09:29 Who is this white woman?
00:09:32 She is an American journalist.
00:09:34 Can't take her along. It's too dangerous
00:09:40 I will have to leave her here.
00:09:47 Tell him I have a Pakistani visa.
00:09:49 This can justify our going towards the border.
00:09:51 What did she say?
00:09:56 If somebody inquires...
00:09:56 ...we can say we need to drop
00:10:01 Does she know how to drive?
00:10:04 She's American... she must know...
00:10:07 Car? Drive?
00:10:10 Drive? Does he mean drive?
00:10:13 We're dead!
00:10:14 Of course I drive, I am an American!
00:10:28 Lmran Sahab. He's the only one who knows
00:10:52 Can you see that smoke ahead?
00:11:02 Diesel! Fill her up.
00:11:16 This is what happens when you
00:11:19 The Americans must have bombed
00:11:30 It's Coke! - No, it's not coke.
00:11:40 What? It's Coke.
00:11:46 What's the difference?
00:11:49 What's the difference?
00:11:55 Lmran Khan and Kapil are the same thing!
00:11:57 Coke and Pepsi are the same thing!
00:12:01 Jessica listen. You are an American.
00:12:04 Can you tell us if this is
00:12:08 I don't drink either.
00:12:09 You don't drink Coke?
00:12:14 A sensible sort.
00:12:27 I told you its Pepsi!
00:12:41 The war is all about this...
00:12:43 ...the Americans will do anything to
00:12:48 ...this is exactly what they do. Suck all
00:12:50 ...and then fill it with Coke and Pepsi...
00:12:53 Why's he yelling at me?
00:12:57 Its all about money isn't it?
00:13:06 I also want money.
00:13:08 How much do you get forthese
00:13:13 What's he saying?
00:13:15 He's asking how much you get
00:13:18 How many dollars for photograph
00:13:24 I don't know. Maybe 5, maybe 6 hundred...
00:13:30 She says 500 to 600 dollars.
00:13:35 All right... I will take 300 dollars!
00:13:38 What? - He wants 300 dollars.
00:13:43 If you don't give money,
00:14:12 We are from a poor country like yours.
00:14:18 We don't even get so much salary.
00:14:21 This guy hasn't even got his salary
00:14:25 Isn't it?
00:15:21 So Suhel, won't you offeryour prayers?
00:15:32 Oh! Of course... you are an Indian Muslim...
00:15:35 ...what would you know about Islam...?
00:15:39 You're right, what would we know
00:15:45 You are the guardians of ourfaith...
00:15:48 You keep an AK56 on your side
00:17:13 His name isn't lmran.
00:17:21 I can give him more money if he wants.
00:17:42 Salaam! Where is the American journalist?
00:17:45 She's coming with the Indian journalists.
00:17:46 Commander! The American journalist is not here.
00:17:48 He says that she is coming with
00:17:51 They're not here? He came alone?
00:17:52 Hold him back till the journalists reach here.
00:17:58 Park your carthere and get down.
00:18:20 If his name is not lmran,
00:18:28 Whose photograph was that?
00:18:32 There she begins her interview again!
00:18:34 Not only will she get herself killed,
00:18:36 Whose photograph was that?
00:18:43 This was my daughter...
00:18:45 Was?
00:18:50 Zoya.
00:18:56 Haven't seen her in six years.
00:18:59 Why?
00:19:01 How could I? I have been fighting
00:19:05 What's he saying? - We'll tell you later.
00:19:08 Is she in Pakistan?
00:19:11 No. She stays here in Afghanistan.
00:19:15 I got her married in a village,
00:19:24 Our village is very close to the border
00:19:29 So why didn't you ever meet her?
00:19:33 I tried once,
00:19:39 But she refused to meet.
00:19:45 Because I was in the Taliban, and
00:19:54 She did not like their way of thinking...
00:19:58 ...their behaviortowards women...
00:20:01 ...using force in the name of religion...
00:20:07 Were you Ok with all that?
00:20:10 No!
00:20:13 My views were different.
00:20:17 Then why were you with them?
00:20:22 I was only doing my duty.
00:20:24 You've got to obey orders in the Army.
00:20:30 What kind of duty, lmran sir?
00:20:33 Performing that you have to be ashamed
00:20:42 Go to sleep.
00:20:45 We're very nearthe border. We'll leave
00:21:01 I was sure he's gonna shoot me.
00:21:04 Yeah, you crossed the line today.
00:21:12 You almost seem to enjoy these wars.
00:21:15 Me? Well... after every trip to
00:21:22 ...i promise myself neverto return. But...
00:21:27 But you break your promise!
00:21:30 And you know why? To sell
00:21:37 Some more inhuman horror
00:21:40 ...that chose to do nothing when this
00:21:47 And you know why I am doing it?
00:21:54 I hope publisher's will line up for my book...
00:22:00 But what else do you think reporters can do?
00:22:09 Nothing, I guess. Otherthan knowing
00:22:17 That whateverthey do... is not enough.
00:22:39 What have you done?
00:22:46 Where are the reporters?
00:22:50 There's a small problem.
00:22:54 ...us from the Hazara,
00:22:56 Talib?
00:23:00 There were a lot of people.
00:23:02 I thought they'll tie the Talib up.
00:23:04 Tomorrow early morning, we must go there.
00:23:29 Get in!
00:23:32 Come on, guys!
00:23:57 We must drive out of this area fast.
00:24:00 What happened now?
00:24:02 This village is famous in Afghanistan
00:24:05 Why?
00:24:06 When they see a foreigner in a car,
00:24:12 The moment the car hits the donkey...
00:24:14 ...the entire village comes running out...
00:24:16 ...screaming and shouting...
00:24:18 It was a special donkey... a priceless donkey...
00:24:20 He had studied in a school.
00:24:27 And then?
00:24:28 Then they strip you of all your money...
00:24:31 ...even your clothes.
00:24:34 Great! That's all we needed!
00:24:37 But we don't need to worry. - Why?
00:24:40 Because ever since the Taliban collapsed...
00:24:43 ...so many English journalists
00:24:47 ...that all the donkeys in the village must be over...
00:24:53 Some still remain... Now they drive cars...
00:25:31 Looks like a suicide bomber.
00:25:56 Bloody terrorist!
00:25:59 Shit! Sorry... it wasn't meant foryou.
00:26:34 Where are they? Show me!
00:26:36 They were right here.
00:26:39 Where are they? I don't see anyone around.
00:26:41 I don't know where they've gone. - You're lying!
00:26:44 No! I swearto God they were here.
00:26:50 Move!
00:27:27 "Whatever I received, I accepted as destiny..."
00:27:37 "Whatever I received, I accepted as destiny..."
00:27:42 "I accepted as destiny..."
00:27:51 "What got lost, I kept forgetting that..."
00:27:57 "What got lost, I kept forgetting that..."
00:28:03 "Every worry I decided to blow away as smoke..."
00:28:16 Perfect mood for a cigarette!
00:28:21 Sure! Sure!
00:28:36 Amazing! You're fond of Hindi songs?
00:28:40 Old Hindi film songs are my weakness...
00:28:42 ...used to stealthily listen to Indian Radio as a kid...
00:28:45 Later I saw a lot of yourfilms also.
00:28:49 Didn't the Taliban ban Hindi films?
00:28:53 They were uncultured idiots.
00:28:59 I have been saying foryears...
00:29:05 Give us Madhuri Dixit (lndian Actress)
00:29:11 She's gone now. Married and settled in America.
00:29:14 Everything nice that we have finally
00:29:49 What's the matter? What's going on here?
00:29:51 Some Taliban were trying to escape
00:29:53 We've captured them.
00:29:54 Talib? - Yes, Talib!
00:29:57 These guys have captured two Taliban...
00:30:01 ...who were trying to escape towards the border.
00:30:03 They are killing them with their bare hands.
00:30:07 Who are they?
00:30:09 Indian journalists!
00:30:11 Indian journalists? Come take some pictures.
00:30:15 He says you should come out and shoot.
00:31:14 What do you say Suhel?
00:31:17 Should we tell them about him?
00:31:22 No, Jai. Let's get out of here.
00:31:37 You guys should go to Torkhan.
00:31:39 You'll get more pictures of Taliban there.
00:31:40 The American's have just bombed that area.
00:31:45 He's saying we must go to Torkham.
00:31:50 Many Taliban soldiers were hiding there...
00:31:52 ...and the Americans have bombed that area heavily.
00:31:54 Hundreds have died.
00:32:03 Ask them the way to Torkham.
00:32:09 I think we're lost!
00:32:11 No, he said keep going down the straight road.
00:32:16 This road looks straight to you?
00:32:18 Dude! Do you think you will find a
00:32:20 You have a point.
00:32:31 By the way, lmran Sahab,
00:32:33 My daughter's village is in Torkham.
00:32:38 Do you know exactly where the village is located?
00:32:41 I have a faint idea...
00:32:45 But how will I meet her?
00:32:47 It can be dangerous for her.
00:32:51 A man can't ask for a woman's whereabouts here.
00:32:55 Then meet herthe same way you met us.
00:33:02 Burkha! - No I can't do that.
00:33:05 Why not?
00:33:08 You were happily running all around
00:33:12 No its different here.
00:33:14 If I get caught, my daughter Zoya will be in trouble.
00:33:20 Then what do we do?
00:33:23 What's he saying?
00:33:30 What?
00:33:39 I can't believe I am doing this.
00:33:55 Oh shit! I am, so sorry.
00:33:57 I knew she could play football.
00:34:02 Oh shit! I am so sorry. Are you okay?
00:34:05 What are you doing?
00:34:07 What are you doing? Stop it!
00:34:14 I got hurt!
00:34:15 I am so sorry.
00:34:18 Aunty!
00:34:20 You know her?
00:34:21 She lives there!
00:34:26 Can you take me to her?
00:34:29 Come on, lets go.
00:34:34 We should have handed overthe
00:34:42 But you seemed more interested
00:34:49 He still had a gun on him.
00:34:50 He could have easily taken down
00:34:59 What's going on here?
00:35:00 The two Taliban were escaping.
00:35:07 Is he one of them?
00:35:10 Have a look at the other one!
00:35:14 Have you seen an American lady
00:35:17 Yes! - Which direction?
00:35:19 They've gone towards Torkham
00:36:11 I can't believe even these bastards
00:37:48 Why didn't you speak to your daughter?
00:37:53 You guys are fortunate...
00:37:59 ...you belong to a different world.
00:38:03 You will never understand...
00:38:10 Imran Sahab...
00:38:14 ...deep down you are not such a bad guy...
00:38:16 Yes...
00:38:19 And maybe if you weren't a Talib...
00:38:21 ...we might have even been friends...
00:38:27 Yes... like you guys say in India...
00:38:31 In another lifetime, perhaps...
00:38:51 Where are you running? Stop!
00:39:34 This firing seems to be happening nearby.
00:39:38 When did it start?
00:39:43 Okay. Stay alert!
00:39:54 Commander! - Yes!
00:39:55 A Talib has taken two Indian journalists
00:39:59 We'll get them back. Guys, let's go!
00:40:14 Indian journalists!! This bloody car!!
00:40:18 What are you doing?
00:40:22 Tell him now!
00:40:24 Listen!
00:40:26 This is the local Mujahidin commander.
00:40:32 If you hand the Indian journalists over,
00:40:42 Let them go, you bastard!
00:40:46 The border is 5 minutes away.
00:40:50 I'm too close now to give up.
00:40:56 Either I cross the border, or all of us die.
00:41:01 Listen here...
00:41:03 ...lf you and your men...
00:41:07 I'm going to shoot these guys one by one...
00:41:27 Don't be stupid, lmran Sahab.
00:41:29 If you leave us, the commander will let you go.
00:41:33 You really believe that these
00:41:38 Me? A Talib!
00:41:43 But you're not like the Taliban.
00:41:45 Really...? And you will explain this to them?
00:41:47 Have you forgotten what they did
00:41:51 Do you think my fate will be
00:42:03 Don't fire like that!
00:42:10 But then it's impossible foryou
00:42:21 Bastard!!
00:42:46 Is that the last magazine?
00:42:56 Why don't you leave us and run away?
00:43:00 If I stop firing these guys will be here
00:43:05 And it will take me at least
00:43:19 Imran Sahab, give me your gun.
00:43:27 Give me the gun and run to your country
00:43:29 I will keep firing in the airtowards them
00:43:34 They won't move ahead.
00:43:37 If I hand you the gun...
00:43:41 ...won't you shoot me?
00:43:45 You have no option but to trust me.
00:43:50 If you stay, you will surely die.
00:43:54 But if you give me the gun,
00:44:13 Hey! Go from behind.
00:44:57 Just a moment Mr. Taliban.
00:44:59 Here's a little gift from India?
00:45:12 Don't smoke any other cigarette...
00:45:27 You have helped me reach home...
00:45:30 ...but you guys also need to go back, don't you?
00:45:56 Why's he firing in the air?
00:45:59 Can I, please?
00:46:18 Is this enough? - This is enough.
