He's six years old.

What do I tell our son?

I'm very sorry

for your distress.

I wish I could help you

with your problem...

but I simply cannot.

My problem?

- My problem?!

- Young lady, if you'll just leave...

- your name and information--

- You have my name.

You have my home address.

You have my phone number.

- You have everything.

- Let's go.

You have my husband!

Please don't walk away from me!

Just tell me where he is!

- Ma'am.

- Just tell me he's okay!

- Ma'am.

- Just--Stop!

Take your hands off me.

God damn it.

Oh!

Are you okay?

- Hello.

- Hey, it's me.

Douglas?

I'm sorry to call you so early.

I need your help.

Okay, can you meet me

at my place in an hour?

Okay.

Thanks.

Hello.

Sorry to wake you, sir.

We have someone

who knows your daughter.

Omar Adnan.

He was arrested

by the riot squad last week.

He knows where the boy lives.

Khalid?

We're releasing El-Ibrahimi.

Tell them I'm coming down.

Hey.

Put on the clothes.

We're leaving.

Put on the clothes.

Come on.

I do this in memory

of my brother.

Come on.

Wait.

Okay.

I want you to keep moving.

- I just want you to keep walking, okay?

- No, no--

Just keep walking.

You do what I say.

Keep walking.

I gave you

the release forms, okay?

They're signed by

the Minister of the Interior.

Now, open the gate.

- Mr. Abasi--

- Open the gate!

They overload these donkeys

and cause accidents. Chaos.

Tea, please.

Okay.

Ahmid, what's goin' on?

Accident, sir.

F***in' traffic, man.

Khalid!

Khalid!

Khalid!

Khalid!

Khalid!

Khalid!

Khalid!

Why is he stopping?

Please, he's my father.

Khalid, please.

Please.

Please.

He's not going to do it.

Take him out.

Take him out.

Khalid!

Khalid!

Let's go, huh?

Come on. Come on.

When did he die?

God's will.

When?

A week ago.

They were just children.

Yes.

Is this The Washington Post?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'll hold.

- Did you get that stuff?

- Yeah.

Thank you.

Yeah. Um, could you connect me

to Editorial, please?

Here's your passport

and green card.

Captain's name is Walna.

He'll take you to Malaga...

then you'll fly to Madrid,

connect to Chicago.

Don't talk to anybody.

Don't say anything

until you're back in the States.

Get on the boat.

Go.

Go!

What the f*** are you doing?

I just got a call

from the consulate.

Do you have him?

No.

What do you mean no?!

Where the f*** is he?!

Douglas, listen to me!

You are making

a big mistake here!

And whatever it is that you

think you're doing, stop now.

Douglas, lis--

I hear you.

I have to call you back.

I didn't know

if I should answer it.

It's all right.

I'm going to get it.

I don't want that.

Corrine Whitman.

Hi, Daddy.

Hi there.
