Militants of the Islamic state of Iraq and Syria,

ISIS, continue to advance in northern Iraq.

While it's claimed that militias affiliated with the

Islamic State of Iraq and Syria

are advancing towards the city of Saladin.

There are also reports that ISIS militants continue to clash

with the security forces, in a struggle to take control of the entire city.

- -

They're around the consulate building.

They're starting to surround it.

Their numbers are increasing.

There's 49 of us here.

Employees and also civilians.

And one child.

The daughter of one of the clerks.

Front door, pull back! Pull back to position, now!

We're pulling back now.

They 're not answering.

We can't get a response from the local security forces.

We are standing by for your orders, sir!

Iraqi forces have left the city.

Mosul has fallen.

- -Get inside!

Pull back! Get inside!

Open it!

Brother Mustafa, get inside.

You have no way to defend the place for yourselves.

You're going to surrender.

Sir, we have plenty of ammo.

We can defend it to the last drop of our blood, if necessary.

The lives of everyone there are at risk.

I repeat, you will surrender. Do you copy?

Copy that. Yes, sir.

All right, calm down!

I'm going to take care of everything, calm down!

There is nothing else we can do now!

Everyone needs to be calm.

Don't anyone do anything.

[many people shouting and sobbing]

Please, take it easy!

Easy, brothers, calm down.

We're surrendering. We're surrendering!

Calm down, it's all right, everyone!

Quiet down!

Quiet down, I said!

Quit it! Hey, shut up!

Now!

As of now, this is our land!

As of now, this is our land, do you hear me?

Listen to me!

If you follow our orders, we will spare your life!

Do you understand?

We understand.

Listen brothers, Commander Ferec wants them all alive.

You hear?

Make sure you take care of it.

Come on, cuff them! Come on!

Come on, cuff them!

- - One, two, three!

Commander Ferec.

We have captured all the consulate general staff alive.

[multiple news reports playing in background]

That's perfect.

Take the prisoners to the safe location, wait for my orders.

Yes, sir, Commander Ferec.

[multiple news reports playing in background]

Our friends will be very happy about this.

What is their latest status? Any information

about where the hostages are being held?

At this time, we have not received

any negative information on the subject.

Yes? You.

How many hostages are there?

We are getting conflicting information from your office.

What's the exact number?

We are guessing there are about 45 to 50 people.

The exact number it will be shared with you when we know.

The schematics, I sent there.

Unfortunately, we don't have

any confirmed information.

Where is he?

But my colleagues are working on this right now.

[man shouting in another language]

Hasan El Kadim.

He's been using the name Abu Ferec since he has joined the organization.

He was an officer during Saddam's rule.

He was successful in the Iran army.

But after the Gulf War, he disappeared for a long time.

Since he joined the organization,

special operations have been carried out by him.

It is also known that the most brutal execution videos were shot by him.

We have confirmation from various sources

that the raid at the consulate and hostage-taking operation

were carefully planned, and managed by him.

He shouldn't be underestimated.

Let's not forget that, as we move forward with our operation.

Excuse me, sir?

We got a message from the organization.

Zeynep, put it up on the screen. Go ahead.

Commander Ferec has a message!

Assalam aleykum.

This little girl, and all the hostages,

will either return home to you safely,

or they will be executed.

It is in your hands.

These are our demands.

First,

The Republic of Turkey will immediately release

every single one of our captive brothers-in-arms.

Second,

The Republic of Turkey will commit to never join

the international coalition against our holy state!

Third,

The Republic of Turkey,

will announce to the whole world that it officially

recognizes our state as an independent country!

Assalam aleykum.

Come on! Come on!

Stand up, stand up, hurry! Hurry!

As you see,

we need to handle this situation as soon as possible.

We have to keep our people alive,

so that our state can live.

Sir, it would be better if we postponed joining the coalition.

Thus, we gain can time for the members of the organization held by the FSA.

As you know, lists will be passed back and forth,

and by doing that, we will have slowed down the process as much as possible.

The real problem is their last demand.

It is absolutely out of the question for Turkey

to recognize a terrorist organization.

How could such a thing be possible?

Of course it can't. In the meantime,

we have located where the hostages are being held.

We will carry out the operation with our own team right away.

We need to bring those people back safe and sound.

Do you hear me? Beyond that,

it's not enough just to bring them back safe.

What we need to do is teach them a lesson so they know who they're dealing with,

and they never consider doing this again.

No question about it, sir.

We are working on all dimensions of the issue.

I've already deployed our field agent to the area.

-Who did you send? -My best man.

- -

Give the kid a beating she'll remember.

Oh, for sure.

- -Be quiet. Be quiet.

Shut up!
