WEST BORDERS

Hey, Abo ElAta, are you sure you gave me the right coordinates?

We’ve been surveying the area without catching sight of any living being.

In all the years we’ve been flying together

have I ever mistaken the coordinates?

Honestly, you've mistaken almost everything in your life

except for coordinates.

By the way, sir

who’s done more operations?

You or Brigadier Mamdouh?

Excuse me?

Answer, Mamdouh, he’s trying to ruin our friendship.

Don’t be malicious, Abo ElAta.

You’re flying with Emara

the second top striker in the Air Force.

What?

The second?

OK, Mr. Mo Salah.

AIR FORCE OPERATION ROOM

Yes, sir, we’ve coordinated this with Military Intelligence

We found their location.

We proved that they entered Egypt from the West.

And, according to your orders

reconnaissance aircrafts have been flying 24/7.

Have you seen anything, Mamdouh?

Negative, Emara.

We must find them, Mamdouh.

These weapons must not enter our country

because if they do, they will hit civil planes not just military ones.

Delta Squadron

update me.

Nothing so far, sir.

Wait a sec.

I’m sighting vehicles exiting an underground tunnel.

I’ll descend and check.

Hey, Emara, we’re on Bingo fuel

we must return to base.

If we lose them now, we won’t catch them again.

God will help us, He is the Lord of the humble.

Target on sight.

4by4 vehicles

carrying medium and small weapons

almost 12 elements

they saw us and are trying to escape, waiting for orders, sir.

Destroy all those vehicles and the weapons they carry.

I’m ready, sir

Let’s do it.

God is great!

God is great!

Great job, Emara!

You nailed it, sir!

God is great!

They hit us, sir, our craft is out of control.

Delta 1, down, permission to cover them, sir.

Return to base, now.

You’re on Bingo fuel.

I can’t abandon them, sir.

That is a direct order, Mamdouh.

Don’t worry.

We never abandon our men.

There is no God but God, Mohamed is the Messenger of God.

There is no God but God, Mohamed is the Messenger of God.

God is great!

All good, Mr. President, operation fulfilled and targets hit.

But a craft has crashed, there may be casualties.

Our men will bring back the martyrs and the survivors.

Yes, sir

I’m executing the orders.

Hold on, commander, we’re almost there.

Take up arms, Abo ElAta.

They won’t take us.

They won’t take us, Abo ElAta.

They won’t take any martyr! Don’t worry.

Reinforcements have arrived, sir.

Captain Ahmed Mohamed Abul’Ata was martyred during transportation to hospital.

The President of the Republic of Egypt ordered to pay the last respect.

to the families of the martyrs, in his name and in the name of Egypt.

THE SQUADRON

EUROPEAN TERRITORIAL WATERS

Mr. Aly.

They have arrived.

Have they?

They’re very welcome.

Hello, Abou Mokhtar.

I told you I’d take you from here to Italy without trouble.

Welcome

we’ve entered national waters.

What will happen in Palermo?

Other people will escort you

What about those girls?

Don’t worry.

There are people ready to escort them.

And you?

I’ll return to Libya.

I’ve got a lot of work to do there

thank God you’ve arrived safely.

Uncle, I’m Salim.

AlMasry is smuggling food supplies, money, and people.

Today he smuggled to Palermo people escaping

from ISIL commanders in Libya.

BENGHAZI

Fine, Salim

keep it up.

I will keep you updated.

Fine.

EASTERN BORDERS

I miss you so much, dad.

We’re almost there, we’ll arrive in a few hours.

Yes, I brought it, Jesus! I bought you the fan, dad.

Dad

hang up, now.

DERNA LIBYA

All right.

Bye.

There’s no power, but in God, the Greatest.

There’s no power, but in God, the Greatest.

The Strela missiles that were smuggled to Egypt were blown up in an air raid.

All our brothers died.

They are alive, with their Lord, and they have provision.

Any news about Abou Mokhtar?

Not yet, sir.

But, God willing, we will find him and the other fugitives.

God willing.

God willing.

DERNA AL ZALAM SOUQ

GENTLEMEN SALOON

Tawadros, I told you to stay away from the souq today, it’s dangerous.

I had to go to the bank, Mohamed, and I thought I’d buy some clothes.

What are you talking about? Go home, come on!

Today you were summoned by Lady Hind.

The Lady of the mujahidins, the wife of Commander As’ad AlHamrawy.

so that you will repent and get married.

I won't talk too much about the role of a Muslim wife in the life of her man.

You are here for the pleasure and the happiness of our fellow mujahidins.

You mean, as whores.

Everything here follows Islamic law.

Tomorrow each one of you will know her husband’s name

and the duration of the marriage.

You risked your life, Tawadros, no one could have saved you.

You should’ve waited

Why on earth? The bank was going to close in an hour

and it’s open only one day per week

You could have sent the money the week after.

Yes, bro, of course

That’s all you can say.

But I have children.

Tawadros, don’t be stubborn.

Out there is not as safe as it used to be.

Terrorists are close.

What’s coming is not like what’s gone.

What do you mean, Mohamed? Did they kidnap 7 of our brothers?

We don’t know yet what happened to them, Bishoy.

But if we keep silent, we’re cowards.

We won’t keep silent, Samuel.

But let us find out first if they were kidnapped or what

then we call the Embassy.

Your Lord is generous.

Listen to me, you stubborn men

here, you are under my responsibility, and I will not fail you.

If any of you want to get caught by those morons, he’s free to go!

Otherwise, you protect each other.

When those people kidnap or kill someone, they make a huge scene

as if they’re celebrating a circumcision.

Have you been circumcised Tawadros?

I told you I have children, Mohamed.

Then, you’re not circumcised.

Good morning.

Hajja Sabra, Sabra Dreyni, right?

Hajja

my name is Khadija Ebayd.

I’m a journalist.

We’ve been looking for you for a week.

I know your children were executed publicly in the square.

Tell me

what did ISIL do to your sons?

God keep you safe, my girl.

You know…

As soon as one of my sons comes to me

I will talk to him about you.

Look

this is Abou Dahr

and this is Abou Bakr.

Mrs. Khadijah.

Mr. Aly.

Why are you here?

This is not your home this is the souq

of course I’m here to buy stuff.

Sorry, I was distracted, I…

You came here to buy some troubles.

Why don’t we buy some peace of mind and some laughs?

I’m into cooking today.

Egyptians are always ready to laugh.
