what they're up against.

Let me do the talking.

Knock yourself out.

- [ TARIQ SPEAKS PASHTO ]

- [ RIZA ] "What are you doing?"

I'm representing.

I'm here to negotiate.

And you?

[ SPEAKING PASHTO ]

"We are here to kill all unbelievers

and the whore who sings."

Okay. I'm hearing you.

More of a deal breaker

than a negotiation.

Let's get serious. What's it gonna

take for all of this to go away?

[ SPEAKING PASHTO ]

[ RIZA ]

"Kill him. Kill this fool now."

Okay. Very quickly.

A key is to know what the other guy wants.

You are a warlord.

You want war, I suppose.

Money. Power.

Maybe opium.

And in an ideal world...

you'd like CIA and Taliban to both

pay you to sell out your own country.

You're a warlord.

[ GUNFIRE CONTINUES ]

[ BRIAN ]

Stand down! Stand down!

[ MEN SHOUTING IN PASHTO ]

Anybody else wanna see

how real bullets work?

Richie, you're all right.

It's a flesh wound.

Walk it off. Let's go.

[ VOCALIZING ]

[ SALIMA ]

Now I've been happy lately

Thinking about

the good things to come

And I believe it could be

Something good has begun

Oh, I've been smiling lately

Dreaming about the world

as one

And I believe it could be

Someday it's going to come

Cause out on

the edge of darkness

There rides a peace train

Oh, peace train,

take this country

Come take me home again

Now I've been smiling lately

Thinking about

the good things to come

And I believe it could be

Something good has begun

Oh, peace train

sounding louder

Glide on the peace train

Oh-ah-ay-ah-oh-ah

Come on now, peace train

Yes, peace train,

holy roller

Everyone jump up

on the peace train

Oh-ah-ay-ah-oh-ah

Come on now, peace train

Come and join the living

It's not so far from you

And it's getting nearer

Soon it will all be true

Peace train sounding louder

Glide on the peace train

Oh-ah-ay-ah-oh-ah

Come on now, peace train

I've been crying lately

Thinking about the world

as it is

Why must we go on hating?

Why can't we live in bliss?

'Cause out on

the edge of darkness

There rides a peace train

Oh, peace train,

take this country

Come take me home again

Peace train, holy roller

Everyone jump up

on the peace train

Oh-ah-ay-ah-oh-ah

Come on now, peace train

Oh-ah-ay-ah-oh-ah

Come on, come on,

peace train

[ MAN ]

Peace train, holy roller

Everyone jump up

on the peace train

Hoo-ah-eeh-ah-hoo-ah

Come on, come on, come on

Let's come on,

peace train, oh

[ CHEERING ]

Hoo-ah-eeh-ah-hoo-ah

Come on, peace train

The peace train

Come on, peace train

No. No, I don't, uh...

Thank you.

I don't want string.

I don't use string. Okay?

Do I look like...

Do I look like I use string?

No, I want this thing here.

I want the animal. Okay?

Come on. For my kid.

For my girl.

Let's take a look.

Come on.

All right, what you got

to have for this, five bucks?

It's made in Taiwan.

You didn't make this.

You didn't make this.

This was made by Chinese people in Taiwan.

Five bucks good? We good?

[ SPEAKING DARI ]

If you're saying 10 bucks,

I'm sorry.

'Cause I only got five bucks.

It's all I got.

You can't do it for five?

[ SPEAKING DARI ]

Here, man, take it.

I'll find somewhere else

for five, I promise you.

[ SPEAKING DARI ]

It's what I got. It's all I got.

[ SPEAKING DARI ] Thank you so much.

Thanks. Appreciate it.

That's great. That'll be...

All right, give me some string.

Give me some... Here, I found

five more bucks. Give me...

Well, that's ugly. Give me...

Give me that blue one.

Which one...

I don't need all of this.

Which one's better?

This one?

Give me...

That one's clean.

Now it's mixed in there. That's the color.

Which one's better, this or this?

Which one?

I'm taking that one.

Between these two. [ SPEAKING DARI ]

Ah. Ah.

I just wanna take

one of these.

I want two of these.

This one or this one?

This one?

I got that one. Here.

[ MUFFLED ] This one or this one?

[ SPEAKING DARI ]

I'm gonna decide

on my own.

I've already put this one in my mouth.

I'm keeping that one.

And that reminds me of someone,

and this is brand new and mysterious.

So you keep that one.

We'll call it square.

[ SPEAKING DARI ]

Oh.

Okay.
