You come and say, Allah took him,

but a man killed me.

You dont see Allah do it,

so you cant be sure.

Yes, I can.

How can you be sure of something

you dont see and never have?

Look over there.

Its dark and you dont see the men.

But with your goggles, you see them.

If you dont see the men,

it doesnt mean theyre not there,

it means its dark

and you have no goggles.

Captain, its Base.

Captain, William got away!

He took the motorbike!

William!

There!

Its locked inside.

Its his, Captain.

Sleeping pills.

We need to get out of here!

Captain, Im not going back up.

- We need to strike back!

- Against who?

We need proof. Facts!

For 5 days

weve been looking for proof.

Following orders!

4 men are gone

and the Talibans back as a result!

- Its inexplicable!

- We just lack the explanation.

Share your thoughts, Antars.

- We dont know our enemy.

- How can we fight then?

Im done. Im calling the families

and high command.

Dont touch that!

Its 11:
00, Wednesday.

The last convoy goes tomorrow at 8.

Whoever wants can leave with it.

But decide now.

You wont get a second chance!

If you choose to stay,

it means one thing is clear:

no matter what happens,

I am and will remain in command.

Oscar Varennes, chaplain.

Delighted, Captain.

35th regiment, 4th company.

How long have you been here, Captain?

A few weeks.

Any fighting?

Not really.

A delicate mission, thats all.

- Did they say something?

- No, thats the thing.

My job is observing people,

to feel if theyre on the edge.

Your men are about to plummet.

Do your job, reassure them.

Reassure them?

You think God is a teddy bear

you hold at night?

I dont know, tell them...

God is Love.

Look at the sh*t going on around you,

how can you say that?

Thats enough.

You leave tomorrow

with the convoy at 8:00.

While the men were in a deep slumber,

a voice came unto me.

It whispered and said,

Mans life on earth

is that of a soldier,

his days, those of a hireling.

I was at ease, but He has shaken me.

He seized my neck and broke me.

He shot at me as his target.

He opened breach upon breach.

He swooped upon me like a warrior.

It is He who pursues me.

He has broken me asunder,

treated me as an enemy.

His troops mobilize

and encamp round my tent.

Soon, I shall sleep in the dust.

He will seek me

and I will be gone.

- Got a signal?

- Yes.

Satellite call.

- Who is it?

- Williams wife, for you.

- Howd she get this number?

- Beats me.

Captain Bonassieu?

- Howd you get this number?

- William gave it to me.

The baby came, I want him to know.

- This is a military line.

- Put him on.

- Ill tell him.

- Let me do it!

You cant.

- Im hanging up now.
