(children laughing)
Are you ready for your brother, Joseph?
Yes.
I want you to help me and your mother
look after that little guy, okay?
Son.
I want you to promise.
That you would always look after him.
That's your responsibility
as a big brother, okay?

[Vendors] Good afternoon, ma'am, sir.
- Hi. Good afternoon.
- Banana cue and banana turon.
(speaking in Tagalog)
How many are we getting?
How about we get a few
more to hold us through?
Our kids are destined
to have your sweet tooth.
Oh, sorry. How much?
[Vendor] 30 pesos.
- 30. Wait.
- Where's Joseph?
I thought you were holding onto to him.
No.
Oh here. Keep the change.
[Vendor] Thank you, ma'am, sir.
(water spattering)
(citizens chattering)
I'm sure he couldn't have gotten far.
Hold onto this. Let me look for him.
Stay here, okay? I'll be back.

Where are you going?
It's not safe there.
- No! I'll stay.
- Ma'am.
- My husband is in there.
Ma'am, ma'am, ma'am.
(tense menacing music)
Mom.
(glass shattering)
Mom?
(cutlery clinking)
Mom?
Mom?
Anthony.
You zoned out for a second.
[Elsa] Are you okay?
- I'm sorry. I'll-
- No, it's okay.
No, no, no, no. I'll take care of it.
Don't worry.
- It's all right, mom.
No, I'll take care of it.
No harm done.
You go relax and go with everyone.
I'll take care of it.
- Anthony.
Don't worry about it. We got it, okay?
Come on.
- Thank you, Auntie Elsa.
- Are you sure?
- Yes, yes. Come on.
I'll take care of it. Okay.
I'm so sorry.
(gentle somber music)
Hey.
Sorry. I didn't mean intrude.
Oh. No, it's okay, uh?
Liz. I'm your cousin. Elsa's daughter?
Right. Sorry.
No worries.
If I had to remember that many
names in a span of an hour,
it'll drive me crazy too.
Yeah, it's strange how
you can share the same blood
with so many people but
not know a thing about 'em.
So, I heard it's your
first time here in Iligan?
First time in the Philippines, actually.
- Really?
- Yeah. Sad to admit.
(car whooshing)
(tires screeching)
Sorry, excuse me.
(metal gate clanking)
(family chattering)
You okay?
(gate squeaking and clanking)
(engine rumbling)
(door latch clacking)
(family chattering)
Terri, I wasn't done talking.
I have nothing more to say to you.
- Knock it off, Samir.
- Can we just talk?
- Don't touch me.
- Mind your own business.
- Samir.
- Hey. You heard her.
She said to leave her alone.
The fuck are you?
He's my cousin from the States.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
What's going on here?
You need to take a walk.
It must feel good
having a party in the comfort of your home
while over a hundred thousand
people have lost theirs
in the hands of their own.
Those people made their choice, Samir.
The country had to do what
was right by its people.
Its people?
What's he talking about?
Why don't you pick up a
newspaper while you're here?
Educate yourself.
- Samir.
You gotta go.
(family chattering)
Well, enjoy the rest
of your night, everyone.
(door latch clanking)
(door slamming)
Oh man.
Thanks for stepping in when you did.
I'm your cousin, Jack. I'm Liz's brother.
Anthony. Nice to finally meet you.
I'll be back, okay?
- Okay.
- All right.
You both okay?
Yeah. Thank you.
Oh, Anthony, this is Terri,
my lifetime best friend.
And this is Anthony, my
cousin from the States.
Oh, a Fil-Am?
Filipino American.
Oh. I guess I am.
Anyway, I have to go.
I have that thing, remember?
I'll see you in a bit.
Okay. Take care.
Looks like you're in good
hands anyway, so see you guys.
So, where in the states are you from?
- San Francisco.
- The Bay Area.
Yeah. I love it there.
You've been there?
Yeah.
I spent my summers in Los
Angeles with my father
and I've been upstate a couple of times.
So, your dad lives in LA?
Yeah.
After my parents split,
he moved to the States.
So, I guess that makes you
an unofficial Fil-Am too then.
Right.
Welcome to the club.
(Terri chuckling)
Hey, Terri. Here's your drink.
Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt,
but did you guys hear
what's happening in Marawi?
No. What happened?
Yo, check this out. Look.
A new terrorist cell is rising up
and it's killing both
soldiers and civilians.
Like, it's happening again.
You serious?
Where is Marawi?
It's just south of here in
the Lanao del Sur province.
It once had the largest Muslim population
in the Philippines.
Are they from the Middle East?
No, they're Filipinos.
Really? In a Christian nation?
Well, the majority
of the country is but
I mean, I thought we had
this situation under control.
I mean, Muslims, Filipino Muslims,
they're killing other Filipinos.
Not all Muslims are like
that, Jack, and you know it.
I'm half Moroccan.
So, what does that make me?
I have Muslims in my family and so do you.
They're the kindest people I know.
Just a small faction that are radicalized.
Is this what that guy
Samir was talking about?
Yeah. I mean, that
was his version though.
Right. I uh, I gotta go.
I'll see you guys in a bit.
- Yeah, later.
- Okay.
(shoes tapping)
Anyways, I don't know what
your schedule looks like,
but if you're open, I can show
you around town some time.
I mean, it's the least
I can do for your help.
Oh, that would be nice.
Anthony.
Hi, Terri. I'm glad you could make it.
Hi, Auntie Elsa.
You have your mother's medication?
- Okay.
- Okay?
- I'll be up.
- Right? Okay.
Okay, Ter.
'Kay.
Rain check on the offer?
Yeah, sure.
(utensils clinking)
(shoes tapping)
Further updates to
report on the whereabouts
of missing Japanese
businessman Shinya Yamada,
the CEO of Yamada industries,
who was last seen in Iligan City.
The Japanese government and authorities
have been hard pressing local officials
for a nationwide search,
believing that the disappearance
may possibly be tied to
the recent kidnappings
that have been surging in Iligan City.
If you have any information
on the whereabouts
of Mr. Yamada, please contact
local authorities right away.

Rishi, you have to
finish your food first.
Or at least finish your vegetables, huh?
(door thudding)
(door latch clicking)
Brother.
Come in, come in. What a surprise.
Honey, Rishi. Look who's here.
Uncle Yussef!
Oh, there's my little man.
Oh God. I missed you.
What did you bring for me this time?
Oh, you mean presents?
Oh, I'm sorry, Rishi.
I don't have any presents
for you this time.
Unless you count my little
friend here as a present.
Thanks, Uncle Yussef.
Ah, you're welcome, Rishi.
Now, you'll have a bedtime buddy.
Hey, where do you think
you're going, mister?
Did you excuse yourself?
Honey, I think it's okay.
It's almost his bedtime.
Brother, have a seat, please.
Make yourself comfortable.
[Yussef] Thank you. Thank you.
Hon, can you make sure he
brushes his teeth, please?
(Yussef groaning)
You. You spoil him more than us, huh?
You know, growing up I
wish I had a cool uncle.
I hope to be that for him.
(laughs softly) Let me get you a plate.
Oh no, no, no, no.
I, I already ate.
(gunfire popping)
So, anyway, what brings
you to this part of Marawi?
I just wanted to check how you are.
And the family of course.
I haven't seen you guys in a while.
Mm.
I apologize for all the commotion
that's been going on around here.
I'm sure you've heard
that there's been a lot
of Christian sightings
in and around this area.
I had to come down here personally
to oversee how the
situation was progressing.
Not that I wasn't looking
forward to seeing you as well.
My brother, have you
found these Christians
that you're looking for?
Not all of them, but that's
where I can use your help.
Brother, everybody, Muslim or not,
we're all avoiding going outside
because of, you know, gunfire.
I know.
True.
But Omar, I uh, I remember
before all this conflict,
some of your coworkers at
the office are Christian.
Correct?
Yes, brother.
With everything that's been going on,
we have lost touch.
Mm.
Do you remember any of their
names or their families?
Brother, we weren't that close.
Omar, just any information
about them will help.
Well.
There was Martin.
Uh, James. David.
That's all I can remember.
[Yussef] And you
haven't seen any of them?
Around here?
[Omar] Honestly, brother, I...
I don't imagine them getting this far.
[Yussef] Okay.
(tense ominous music)
(plate clinking)
(tense ominous music)
You are a lucky man, Omar.
Jasmine can really cook.
We are grateful that we can enjoy
a delicious meal every
night with each other.
And Jasmine will really
appreciate the compliment.
We've known each
other a long time, Omar.
Even before all this conflict.
I look to you as someone
I can call my brother.
So, do I to you, Yussef.
We see some of our own risk their lives
to come save those people
in the battle zone.
(tense ominous music)
Makes me sick.
Groups of Muslims protecting Christians.
(tense ominous music)
Your family can support you.
(tense ominous music)
(scoffs)
(sniffs) Look at me.
Getting all emotional over nothing.
(Omar breathes shakily)
We must strive to move forward.
(chair leg scraping)
(tense foreboding music)
(cheek kissing softly)
(Yussef speaking in Tagalog)
(tense suspenseful music)
(door slamming)
No, no, no, no, no.
Jasmine! Jasmine!
- Yussef no!
Yussef no!
(militants shouting in Tagalog)

(gentle foreboding music)
(militant shouting in Tagalog)
[Jasmine[ Yussef!
(gentle foreboding music)
Uncle Yussef?
(militants shouting)
You okay there tough guy.
Where's mommy and daddy?
(militants shouting)
(hostages crying)
You know what?
Mommy and daddy said
that you can hang out with Uncle Yussef.
Really?
(guns cocking)
(hostages whimpering and crying)
(Samir speaking in Tagalog)
(gunfire popping)
It's okay. She's okay.
Just go back to sleep.
It's okay.

(tense foreboding music)
Hello, little one.
(footsteps clacking)
(tense ominous music)
Don't be afraid.
I'm a close family member
of your Uncle Yussef.
That makes us family too.
You are a gift to help secure our future.
Oh, you must be hungry.
(door thumping)
(door hinge squeaking)
(footsteps tapping)
It's okay, Rishi.
(door hinge squeaking)
I heard about Omar.
(speaking in Arabic)
You were right about him, sir.
I should have listened.
Does the boy know?
No, sir.
How are we progressing?
Our men have been
surveying the surroundings
for the past month.
We believe we know the
routine of the establishments
to fully make our move now.
You believe?
There may be resistance, of course.
But nothing we can't handle.
I don't have to remind you
that bringing our
children back to the fold
will secure our foundation
for future generations.
I understand completely, sir.
I've always seen something
special inside you, Yussef.
I've looked to you as someone
who could be my living legacy
for when I'm gone.
I know you'll continue to make sure
that our efforts and
sacrifices will not be in vain.
That our beliefs will not be destroyed.
I'm honored, sir.
(gentle haunting music)
Let me know when it's done.
And what of the others, sir?
(tense foreboding music)
(bell clanging)
Anthony?
(citizens chattering)
Let's go.
You both go ahead.
I'm just gonna go grab something.
- Okay.
- Thank you, Auntie.
See you.
(citizens chattering)
(glass door squeaking)
[Reporter] Investigations
are still ongoing
of the cause of the blast
that killed dozens of people
in Marawi City, Sunday Morning.
Commander James Diaz,
the commander of Joint Task
Force Trident said Tuesday
- Excuse me.
- That he directed
the Marawi City Police and
the Philippine Military
to immediately identify-
Excuse me.
- The terrorist-
- Oh, sorry.
- Are these fresh?
- Ah, just fried this morning.
- I'll take two, please.
- Okay.
(glass door squeaking)
Hey, Terri.
Let me grab your pickup in the back.
Hang on, please.
Quit following me.
Didn't know this was your spot.
Grabbing some snacks after church?
Yeah, the Body of Christ
is all I ate this morning.
Actually, I'm just picking
some snacks from my mom.
I recognize some of the stuff
from the Filipino stores
we have in the States.
Best to go with what you know, huh?
So, you like those?
My mom used to buy 'em for my brother
every Sunday after church.
It's kind of a tradition.
Oh, I didn't know you had a brother.
Yeah, well...
He's really not-
Hey, sorry.
Oh, sorry it took a while.
- Thank you.
- It's a lot of snacks.
I appreciate it.
- Okay.
- How much do I owe you?
- Just 220 pesos.
- All right.
- Okay.
- Thank you.
Say hi to the little ones.
Thank you.
(glass door squeaking)
(footsteps tapping)
Little ones?
As in kids?
(tricycle rumbling)
I, I didn't know you had kids.
(engine rumbling)
Come on. I wanna show you something.
Oh, is this that offer again?
Yeah, something like that.
[Terri] I heard you're in the Navy.
[Anthony] Let me guess. From Liz?
How long?
[Anthony] Going on seven years now.
[Terri] That's dedication right there.
[Anthony] My mom was planning
on staying here for a while.
- Hi, Terri.
- But
they're expecting me back soon.
You know, after my
father and brother died,
it completely changed my mom.
She left to start a
new life in the States.
[Terri] Your father and brother?
Um, I'm sorry, I didn't know.
[Anthony] Ah, that's okay.
I didn't know them.
They died before I was even born.
[Terri] If you don't mind me asking.
What happened?
[Anthony] There was a bombing
that happened here 26 years ago.
[Terri] Oh wow.
It must have been hard for you
and your mom all these years.
[Anthony] Yeah, I guess.
But I didn't know otherwise.
I joined the SEALS to fill that void.
[Terri] And did it?
It opened my eyes to a lot of things.
Made me focus on what was important.
And what's that?
Taking care of my mom, being a good son,
protecting my country.
What about your faith?
Do you believe in religion?
Or God?
It's, it's complicated.
Looks like we got some things in common.
Wow.
What is it?
It's a symbol of Islam and
the cross of Christianity.
Together.
(camera shutter clicking)
(vehicle whooshing)
It's nice to see people
still hope for unity.
Even though some may disagree.
(soft somber music)
We're here.
(birds chirping)
Where?
What I wanted to show you.
(door handle clicking)
(birds chirping)
Hey. Hey, Ahmed.
(keys jangling)
(metal door clanking)
You're here.
We were getting antsy.
Oh, he's good.
Um, this is Anthony. Liz's
cousin from the States.
Hi.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
I can take care of this, Terri.
You don't have to worry.
- Oh no, it's fine.
I enjoy giving these to them.
(birds chirping)
You coming?
(metal door rattling)
(birds chirping)
(gentle tranquil music)
Come on. I wanna introduce you.
Hey, kids. Look who's back.
Hey!
(children clamoring)
All right, calm down. Calm down.
Here, you got some food. Oh.
Hey, there are many of those,
so you have to share them, okay?
All right.
All right. No more.
That's it.
Did everybody get something?
[Children] Yeah.
What do we say?
(children speaking in Tagalog)
(gentle tranquil music)
So, these are your children.
I never said I gave birth to them.
(Liz laughing)
What is this place?
It started off small but then
it grew to what you see now.
I just couldn't stand by and
continue to turn a blind eye
knowing that there are children out there
who have lost everything.
Scared and alone.
Some of them are actually
runaways who got out of Marawi.
Some lost their parents
while trying to escape.
Did any of the parents
make it outta Marawi?
Looking for their kids?
No.
Not for any of the kids that we care for.
I wanna show the children
that they aren't alone.
That there are people out
there who care about them.
(metal door clanging)
Wait here.
Anthony. Wait.

Call the police.
And you and the kids
have to get outta here.
What do you mean? Where's Liz and Ahmed?
Listen to me. There's no time.
Militants have them. You have to go now.
Oh God. Okay.
Kids.
- Okay. All right.
Come on, kids. Come on.
Okay. I'll be back.

Liz?
We're here.
(children crying)
(ignition starting)
- You okay?
- Yeah.
(vehicle whooshing)
- Get down! Get down!
- Don't shoot! Don't shoot!
Get down! On the ground!
(Terri and children conversing in Tagalog)
(siren wailing)
[Liz] None of you saw
them when you barged in?
No. There was no one else inside.
What was Ahmed's involvement
in this facility?
He was a caretaker.
Helped watch over the kids.
[Notetaker] Does he have any family?
Someone we could talk to?
I don't know.
[Notetaker] I know
their faces were covered.
But are there any other details
you can tell me about the gunmen?
(flashback whooshing)
Uh, one of them had
a star mark on his arm.
[Notetaker] Like a tattoo?
No, it didn't look like ink.
It was more like a birthmark.
[Notetaker] How about you, sir?
Did you see anything else?
No.
Everything happened so fast.
[Notetaker] Okay, I
understand. Thank you both.
[Medic] You're all good, sir.
Thank you.
(zipper zipping)
Liz.
You said one of them had a
star shaped mark on his arm?
Yeah, that's what it looked like. Why?
Can I borrow your pen
and clipboard, please?
Thank you.
(exhales heavily)
(paper rustling)
Think you can draw it for me?
(reporter speaking in Tagalog)
I don't remember exactly
what it looked like,
but it's something like this.
(paper rustling)
Anthony!
Oh my god. I got so worried about you.
- Liz.
- My god.
- Okay.
- How are you?
[Anthony] I'm fine.
(door hinge squeaking)
(shoes plodding)
Thank you all for coming
on such short notice.
As most of you know, there
was an attempted kidnapping
at a private childcare center yesterday
by a group of militants.
Thankfully, we got there on time
before any of the children got hurt.
They are now in our protected custody.
We have apprehended two
of their accomplices.
And I want to assure
the citizens of Iligan
that we are conducting
a thorough investigation
to make sure that we
bring these terrorists in.

You've been the talk of the town lately.
I don't know if that's good or bad.
Well, it's a nice change of pace
to have something positive
in the news for once.
So, what brings you in?
I know that Liz said
that one of the gunmen
had a distinct mark on their arm?
Yeah, we're looking into that.
But no leads so far.
(paper rustling)
Is this what the mark looks like?
According to Liz.
I don't know how much this can help,
but maybe one of the
gunmen you apprehended
could tell us more.
Well, it can't hurt.
We'll bring this up in
our next interrogation.
You mind if I watch?
Out of respect and
appreciation for what you did
for those children,
I'll allow it this one time.
[Anthony] Thank you.

Ramirez. Get the help you
need and look into this.
Update me in 48 hours.
Yes, sir.
(tense foreboding music)
(motorcycle rumbling)
(phone vibrating)
[Samir] I heard you were looking for me.
Who is this?
[Samir] Don't bother trying to find me.
You'll just be wasting your time.
Just remember this.
We have eyes and ears all over.
What do you want from me?
[Samir] I'm sending
a way point to you now.
Come alone and don't get smart.
You got 15 minutes.
(vehicle whooshing)
[Operator] You have
reached your destination.
(car door latch clicking)
(tense foreboding music)
(car door slamming)
(door squeaking and clanging)
(tense suspenseful music)
(footsteps plodding)
(rifles cocking)
(footsteps plodding)
[Samir] Pretty accurate drawing.
We've been keeping an eye on you.
Where is he?
(camera shutter clicking)
(notification chiming)
(tense suspenseful music)
[James] Shit.
(phone clanking)
(glass breaking)
[Samir] Now, you can come
with us quietly, or by force.
It's your choice.
(tense suspenseful music)
(door clanging)
(tense suspenseful music)
(fist smacking)
(militants yelling and grunting)
(fists and legs smacking)
(militants and Anthony
yelling and grunting)
(fist smacking)
(Anthony grunting)
(gun cocking)
(tense dramatic music)
(Anthony grunting and yelling)
Easy.
Easy.
(Samir speaking in Tagalog)
(Anthony breathing heavily)
(Anthony exhales weakly)
(door clanging)
- Clear right.
- Clear left.
- Clear.
- Start search.
(tense suspenseful music)
Fuck!
(rope straining)
(tense foreboding music)
Where the hell am I?
(metal door clanging)
(steps plodding)
(metal door clanging)
What do you want with me?
[Samir] We have big plans for you.
An American hero captured
here in the Philippines.
That'll be some headline.
I'm not a hero.
I'm not a part of this.
[Samir] You made
yourself a part of this.
You people have no
idea what war really is.
Because I'm not a SEAL like you.
That's one thing about
war we can both agree on.
Keep your comrades close
but your enemies closer.
No fucking way.
(tags clinking)
(metal door clanging)
Looks like you got mixed
up with the wrong crowd.
(metal door clanging)
This the one?
In the flesh.
So, you're the American.
He'll be viable for our cause.
(flashback whooshing)
(tense foreboding music)
Joseph.
What did you just call me?
How'd you get that mark on your arm?
What the fuck did you just say?
I'm just asking a simple question.
And I'm asking you.
What the hell did you just call me?
That mark.
I only know one other
person that has that same.
(exhales shakily) It can't be.
(Anthony groaning painfully)
I'm going to ask you again
and you better fucking choose
your next words carefully.
How do you know that name?
(Anthony breathing sharply)
It was my brother's name.
My mother named her first child Joseph.
(tense suspenseful music)
(Yussef yelling)
(fist smacking)
(chair clattering)
(body thudding)
(Anthony coughing)
(blood trickling)
(Yussef speaking in Tagalog)
(metal door clanging)
(Anthony groaning)
(militants yelling)
Our priority right now is this man here.
The American who was last
seen here at the precinct
has gone missing.
There's evidence that he's
been taken by militants.
Now, he hasn't been missing long,
but we need to search the town
before concluding that he's been taken
to the nearest militant hotspot in Marawi.
(soldiers murmuring)
So we need to work fast and efficient,
without causing any panic to the citizens.
You have your orders. Dismissed.
[Soldiers] Sir, yes sir!
(Anthony moaning weakly)
(plate rustling)
(rifle clicking)
(steps plodding)
(metal door clanging)
(radio chanting in Arabic)
[Yamada] Prayer time.
(radio chanting in Arabic)
What did you say?
They pray at the same time every day.
Hey, you're that Japanese
businessman in the news
that was kidnapped.
My name is Shin.
How long have you been here?
I don't know.
Maybe a few weeks.
Lost track of time.
What were you doing
here in the Philippines?
I own a large import company
that I inherited from my father.
I would give it all up
just to go back home to my family.
Why us?
Leverage.
To send a message to the world.
(radio chanting)
(glass door squeaking)
Hey, Terri.
Liz already got the pickup today.
Oh thanks.
But I wanted to ask you
if you remember the guy
who I ran into here a couple days ago?
He was buying turon from you.
The guy that saved the kids?
Has he stopped by recently?
I haven't seen them
since you both were here.
Ah yeah. Please let
me know if you see him.
Okay, sure. Take care.
(wind rustling)
What took you so long?
I'm sorry.
[Terri] Hey.
Ssh. Get in the truck.
- Let's go, boy.
- Hey.
Picking up supplies with the little ones?
Whose kid is that, Samir?
He's one of ours.
Found him on the street.
Decided to take him under my wing.
I learned from the best.
That's cute and ironic
considering how you are with kids.
Well, I'm trying to
turn over a new leaf.
Are you okay, sweetie?
Is this man treating you okay?
(vehicle whooshing)
I didn't even force him to do that.
(car door thumping)
Listen.
Protecting those children
only puts your life in danger.
They won't stop coming for those kids.
Let the police do their job.
(ignition starting)
(tense foreboding music)

(gravel crunching)
(car door slamming)
(footsteps thumping)
Yussef?
(Yussef sighs)
What are you doing here?
Nothing.
So, I want to double check.
What kind of wall they have
around those kids in town.
Seeing if we missed anything.
And?
Looks like they got them
held up at the church.
But it's not a small police brigade.
(scoffs)
It's that American, isn't it?
Just say the word, Yussef,
and he'll disappear tonight.
I never told anyone that name before.
That is not your name.
He's delusional.
Don't let this nobody
get inside your head.
I never told you this,
but I did have a brother.
(door thumping)
(Amir speaking in Tagalog)
(door latch clicking)
Samir.
(Amir speaking in Tagalog)

(slow tense music)
[Jennifer] Happy birthday, my baby boy.
[Hasan] Are you ready
for your brother, Joseph?
(citizens screaming in panic)
[Jennifer] Joseph! Joseph!
(Yussef gasping deeply)
(slow gentle music)
(switch clicking)
(slow gentle music)
(metal door clanging)
(Yussef speaking in Tagalog)
(metal door clanging)
Who are you, really?
Or would you rather have
it beaten out of you?
(scoffs) Go ahead.
If you think that'll make a difference.
(bullet whizzing)
(tense foreboding music)
Next one won't miss.
What the hell is going on here?
Answer my fucking question.
This again?
Go ahead. Kill me.
You're wasting your time, Yussef.
I'm not going anywhere
until this motherfucker
tells me who he really is.
(tense foreboding music)
It's clear that he doesn't fear death.
(tense foreboding music)
(metal door clanging)
(hostage moaning fearfully)
You ready to talk now?
This has nothing to do with him.
(gun booming)
(hostage crying fearfully)
All right! That's enough.
(gun booming)
(flesh sizzling)
(hostage crying fearfully)
Stop it!
I told you I'm nobody.
(hostage crying fearfully)
What are you doing?
(Rishi whimpering)
(tense suspenseful music)
Let's try this again, shall we?
Is this man your brother?
(tense suspenseful music)
(Rishi whimpering)
No.
- Samir!
- No!
(gun booming)
(Rishi whimpering)
(Anthony breathing shakily)
No.
I had a brother.
But he died a long time ago.
(Rishi whimpering)
(Anthony breathing shakily)
(metal door clanging)
Rishi.
Go on.
(metal door clanging)
You should eat.
(footsteps tapping)
I never forgot her face.
I didn't know she was still alive.
And our father?
No.
Then why didn't she come looking for me?
She did.
Like hell she did.
Just not hard enough, huh?
Why didn't you come looking for her?
(chair leg scraping)
(slow tense music)
It was Samir.
(flashback whooshing)
- Hey!
- Hey. Give it back to me.
That's mine.
- It's mine now.
[Yussef] All I can remember
is chasing after him.
[Young Yussef] Give to me. It's mine.
[Yussef] And then it happened.
(explosion booming)
(citizens screaming frantically)
[Young Samir] No. This way.
[Young Yussef] No, I need
to find my mom and dad.
[Young Samir] It's safer over here.
[Yussef] I was scared. Hungry.
I never felt so alone.
Over all the crying, all
I could hear was the bomb
going off in my head over and over.
(door latch clanking)
(plastic rustling)
(slow tense music)
And then, he walked in.
(door clanging)
(slow somber music)
(slow tense music)
(Young Amir speaking in Tagalog)
(slow tense music)
(Young Amir speaking in Tagalog)
Joseph.
(Young Amir and Young Samir
conversing in Tagalog)
(Young Amir speaking in Tagalog)
(gentle somber music)
But he never really
looked for them, did he?
Or at least tried.
Just not hard enough, huh?
And yet you still stand
with him knowing that.
He told me that they were both gone.
He wasn't wrong.
So many innocent people have died
under your facade of a higher purpose.
As a SEAL you killed to
protect what you care about.
I am killing to protect what I care about.
I'm where I am supposed to be.
Fighting for people that need saving
'cause they saved me.
They saved you by
killing your real family?
There's a family you're born into.
And the family you choose.
(slow somber music)
(people chattering)
(vendors shouting in Tagalog)
(Rishi breathing heavily)
That's a lot of food
for just one person.
(Rishi gasping)
Don't be afraid.
If you're hungry, I
can take you some place
where you'll never have to steal again.
(plastic bag rustling)
(citizens distant chattering)
Samir doesn't feed you?
Where is he?
Where the fuck is that kid?
10 o'clock.
[Terri] Stay behind me.
(car door slamming)
Hey, thanks for finding my kid.
Where is he?
Where is who?
Anthony. Where is he?
Listen, I don't know
what that little brat
has been telling you,
but it's better to stick
to your own business.
Well, maybe the police
will have something to say about this.
On what grounds?
Just because the kid
thinks he saw something?
Samir, I swear if you've done something
Let it go.
That's always been your problem.
Let's go, kid.
He's not going anywhere with you.
You know what?
Keep him.
Let's go.
(ignition starting)
(car door slamming)
(engine revving)
(crickets chirping)
(engine rumbling)
(car door slamming)
Yussef, we got a problem.
What is it?
Where's Rishi?
That's just it.
The kid spilled the beans on the American.
What do you mean? To who?
To Terri.
Who happens to have the backing
of the entire fucking police force.
I told you we should've
just let the fucking kid
Don't blame it on the kid.
You almost put a fucking
bullet in his head.
That was a stunt.
You knew I wasn't gonna hurt him.
You think Terri will talk?
She has no proof.
And besides we have the leverage
if she actually does anything about it
which is why we need to decide now
what our endgame is with this guy.
I still want to talk to him.
About what?
I need to know what he knows.
He's the fucking only
link I have to my past.
The past that you left behind.
They abandoned you.
I deserve to know.
Don't let this cloud your judgment.
(slow tense music)
You're sure, Terri?
This kid told me that
they got an American there.
And Samir was there too.
It's got to be Anthony.
I know without hard evidence,
the police would have no reason
to investigate further, but
How could this be happening?
I'm so sorry.
Did he say anything else?
Like location, where he could be?
All he knows is that
they're in the outskirts
near the checkpoint to Marawi.
We should find Samir
and get him to talk.
But I'm sure he'll be more cautious.
We'll find him, Jen.
I promise you.
This country has taken
so much of my life from me.
And now, it wants to take everything else.
(gentle somber music)
(utensils clinking)
Finally decided to eat.
How long do you plan to keep me here?
(utensils clinking)
What do we do now?
What do you expect me to do?
You were going to kill me.
Or does me being your brother change that?
I killed brothers before.
Then why is this any different?
Mindanao has been a
battleground for rebel groups,
fighting our so-called
government of the people.
And enemies have set aside differences
to pledge allegiance to ISIS cause.
Stand with me on the side of the fight
and become a part of a real brotherhood.
You're crazy.
I'm a survivor.
You're lost.
I was lost too.
And what I found saved my life.
And it can save yours.
Please join me, brother.
Or you can come with me.
At least let mom see
that it wasn't her fault.
That she didn't lose everything that day.
She kept holding onto the hope
that her son was still alive.
And she was right.
I was always in your shadow.
It was not my place to fill
that empty space for her.
That's your birthright,
Joseph.
(slow tense music)
How did it come to this?
The American has been more
of a problem than an asset.
Do you remember a man
named Hasan I told you about
when you were very young?
He was like a brother to you.
He was killed, right?
He was a special man.
A man I looked up to.
He saved my life.
But everything changed when he
fell in love with that woman.
Yes, they had a child.
A son.
His name was Joseph.
Not only did I recognize that face,
but also the bracelet that
belonged to Hasan's wife.
When the leaders found out
that Hasan was secretly married
to that woman and had a child,
they gave him an ultimatum.
But he chose them
over us.
Over me.
So, that bomb.
That was-
Casualties of war.
I tried to convince him to stay,
but when I saw that child,
I knew Hasan was gone.
So, you took him in?
For what?
Out of guilt?
To make him into the man
his father couldn't be.
I didn't know that his
wife was still alive
and they had another son.
(slow tense music)
If what you're saying
is true about Yussef,
then it's your turn to make the choice.
(Samir exhales shakily)
(metal door clanking)
Samir.
(Samir speaking in Tagalog)
[Yussef] What's going on?
We have an American hostage
and it's about time we
use him to our advantage.
[Yussef] And what do you plan on doing?
How come he wasn't informed about this?
Our brothers need to see strength
and a leader who will not falter.
And that's come into question now with you
and this outsider.
He doesn't mean anything to me.
(Samir scoffs)
(militant speaking in Tagalog)
(metal bars clanking and squeaking)
(slow tense music)
(footsteps crunching)
(Anthony grunts)
What are you doing, Samir?
You say this outsider
means nothing to you.
Prove it.
Show these men the leader
that brought them this far.
At least the last thing you
will see is the face of family.
(slow tense music)
- He's a leverage.
- Do it!
Or I will.
(slow tense music)
Do it!
(gunfire booming)
Get this man out of my face.
[Militant] Get up.
(Anthony groaning and gasping)
Tomorrow the whole nation
will know who you are.
(sliding door whooshing)
(footsteps crunching)
(militant apologizing in Tagalog)
(sliding door whooshing)
(slow tense music)
(Yussef exhales heavily)
(tense foreboding music)
(sliding door clanking)
(slow tense music)
(sliding door clanking)
You've made quite an
impression since you've got here.
Interfered with taking back our children.
And you just happen to
be at the right place
and the right time with Terri.
As if my relationship
wasn't complicated enough.
You came and fucked everything up.
You know what the worst part is?
Look at me.
You took my brother away from me.
(fist smacking)
(Anthony groaning)
You were just an outsider who has no clue
what kind of war we've been fighting.
We live in the battlefield.
You're just a visitor.
(tense suspenseful music)
(fist smacking)
(Anthony groaning)
(tense foreboding music)
(sliding door clanking)
(slow tense music)
(phone vibrating)
Oh God. Anthony?
Anthony? Anthony, where are you?
Are you okay?
Sweetie, are you there?
(sniffles) Whoever you are, please,
please don't hurt my boy.
(sniffles)
Please let him come home, please.
He's fine.
But he doesn't have a lot of time.
You raised a good son.
Who is this?
Where's Anthony?
I have a message from him
to pass on to Commander James.
The text instructions will be sent to you.
Anthony will come home to you.
Maybe you can take him to
that favorite cafe of our...
Of yours.
Who?
(gasps) Who, who is this?
(tone beeping)
(breathing shakily)
(gentle solemn music)
(bracelet clinking)
(gentle solemn music)
(tense suspenseful music)
(metal door clanking)
(rifles clicking)
Ten hut.
(tense suspenseful music)
At ease.
The exact location is 10 minutes
away from the checkpoint.
Now, we don't know what
we'll be up against,
but we'll use the
darkness to our advantage.
No one fires unless I give the signal.
We don't want to compromise our position.
(upbeat dramatic music)
Understood?
[Soldiers] Sir, yes sir!
(upbeat dramatic music)
[Soldier] Go!

You called the Commander?
He's on his way?
Let's hope he is.

Let's go.
(gun chamber clicking)
(tense suspenseful music)
(cars whooshing)

(footsteps plodding)
(tense suspenseful music)
(soldier asking in Tagalog)
Back up.
(car whooshing)
Let's go.

Commander.
Let's get our brother home.
- Hooyah!
- Hooyah!
Move out.
(tense suspenseful music)

(tense suspenseful music)
Fuck.
(tense suspenseful music)
Sir? Oh!
(fist smacking)
(body thudding)
(tense suspenseful music)
(guns cocking)
Why, Yussef?
You think they can ever accept you
after everything you've done?
That doesn't matter, Samir.
He's my brother.
(tense foreboding music)
Yes.
He is.
But this ends now.
Don't do it.

Stop talking. You're

Put pressure on it.
We have to go.
I need to bring you home.
You already have.
(gentle somber music)

The religious serial
killings that have terrified
the people of San Antonio
in the Laguna Province
has finally come to an end.
Authorities refuse to comment
as investigations are ongoing.
We'll have further
updates as they develop.
Security along the checkpoint
from Iligan to Marawi
has tightened after reports of gunfire
was heard coming from the region.
Investigations continue with hopes to find
any possible suspects.
(doorbell chiming)
(upbeat energetic music)
(door knob clacking)
- Hey.
- Hey.
Hey, Terri.
Hey.
I just wanted to say goodbye
to Anthony before he left.
You just missed him.
He went to attend a town hall meeting.
Oh, I didn't know he was gonna attend.
Let's go.
I've had my fill. You guys go ahead.
Yeah, I'll go with you.
All right.
(door hinge squeaking)
(door clanking)
We must all remember that
Almighty Allah is a loving God
who is blind to the differences
that we have for each other.
Blind to the justification
for the conflicts that plague our society.
All the suffering that we humans endure
has always been with us
since the fall of man.
Yet we never seek to
understand his perspective.
I hope that the struggles we share
will serve as a lesson for us all
to be kind and loving to one another
despite our differences.
Insha Allah.
[Attendees] Insha Allah.
Thank you.
So, as we close,
we must ask ourselves.
When our Christian brothers pray to God
to crush their enemies
and our Muslim brothers
pray to Allah for the same,
who does He choose?
(Jennifer breathing shakily)
We must ask ourselves before asking.
What did God want?
(Jennifer breathing shakily)
I think we know the answer.
We must remember.
We are all God's children.
And should love one
another without prejudice.
Just as He loves us all.
(gentle pensive music)
Let us bow our heads and pray.
Tis our home
Where our heartbeats rise
In every smile in every sigh
From the city streets
to fields of gold
In our stories our love unfolds
Through the seasons we stand as one
In laughter and battles fought
Together woven life's tapestry
In every lesson that we've been taught
(gentle bright music)
In our stories our love unfolds
Not just in glory but struggles too
We find our strength
We'll make it through
With open arms and hands untied
We carry the faith ignite the night
(gentle bright music)
So here's to the land
that we call our home
(choir vocalizing)
In the whispers of the wind

Are you ready for your brother, Joseph?
Yes.
I want you to help me and your mother
look after that little guy, okay?
Son.
I want you to promise.
That you would always look after him.
That's your responsibility
as a big brother, okay?

[Vendors] Good afternoon, ma'am, sir.
- Hi. Good afternoon.
- Banana cue and banana turon.
(speaking in Tagalog)
How many are we getting?
How about we get a few
more to hold us through?
Our kids are destined
to have your sweet tooth.
Oh, sorry. How much?
[Vendor] 30 pesos.
- 30. Wait.
- Where's Joseph?
I thought you were holding onto to him.
No.
Oh here. Keep the change.
[Vendor] Thank you, ma'am, sir.
(water spattering)
(citizens chattering)
I'm sure he couldn't have gotten far.
Hold onto this. Let me look for him.
Stay here, okay? I'll be back.

Where are you going?
It's not safe there.
- No! I'll stay.
- Ma'am.
- My husband is in there.
Ma'am, ma'am, ma'am.
(tense menacing music)
Mom.
(glass shattering)
Mom?
(cutlery clinking)
Mom?
Mom?
Anthony.
You zoned out for a second.
[Elsa] Are you okay?
- I'm sorry. I'll-
- No, it's okay.
No, no, no, no. I'll take care of it.
Don't worry.
- It's all right, mom.
No, I'll take care of it.
No harm done.
You go relax and go with everyone.
I'll take care of it.
- Anthony.
Don't worry about it. We got it, okay?
Come on.
- Thank you, Auntie Elsa.
- Are you sure?
- Yes, yes. Come on.
I'll take care of it. Okay.
I'm so sorry.
(gentle somber music)
Hey.
Sorry. I didn't mean intrude.
Oh. No, it's okay, uh?
Liz. I'm your cousin. Elsa's daughter?
Right. Sorry.
No worries.
If I had to remember that many
names in a span of an hour,
it'll drive me crazy too.
Yeah, it's strange how
you can share the same blood
with so many people but
not know a thing about 'em.
So, I heard it's your
first time here in Iligan?
First time in the Philippines, actually.
- Really?
- Yeah. Sad to admit.
(car whooshing)
(tires screeching)
Sorry, excuse me.
(metal gate clanking)
(family chattering)
You okay?
(gate squeaking and clanking)
(engine rumbling)
(door latch clacking)
(family chattering)
Terri, I wasn't done talking.
I have nothing more to say to you.
- Knock it off, Samir.
- Can we just talk?
- Don't touch me.
- Mind your own business.
- Samir.
- Hey. You heard her.
She said to leave her alone.
The fuck are you?
He's my cousin from the States.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
What's going on here?
You need to take a walk.
It must feel good
having a party in the comfort of your home
while over a hundred thousand
people have lost theirs
in the hands of their own.
Those people made their choice, Samir.
The country had to do what
was right by its people.
Its people?
What's he talking about?
Why don't you pick up a
newspaper while you're here?
Educate yourself.
- Samir.
You gotta go.
(family chattering)
Well, enjoy the rest
of your night, everyone.
(door latch clanking)
(door slamming)
Oh man.
Thanks for stepping in when you did.
I'm your cousin, Jack. I'm Liz's brother.
Anthony. Nice to finally meet you.
I'll be back, okay?
- Okay.
- All right.
You both okay?
Yeah. Thank you.
Oh, Anthony, this is Terri,
my lifetime best friend.
And this is Anthony, my
cousin from the States.
Oh, a Fil-Am?
Filipino American.
Oh. I guess I am.
Anyway, I have to go.
I have that thing, remember?
I'll see you in a bit.
Okay. Take care.
Looks like you're in good
hands anyway, so see you guys.
So, where in the states are you from?
- San Francisco.
- The Bay Area.
Yeah. I love it there.
You've been there?
Yeah.
I spent my summers in Los
Angeles with my father
and I've been upstate a couple of times.
So, your dad lives in LA?
Yeah.
After my parents split,
he moved to the States.
So, I guess that makes you
an unofficial Fil-Am too then.
Right.
Welcome to the club.
(Terri chuckling)
Hey, Terri. Here's your drink.
Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt,
but did you guys hear
what's happening in Marawi?
No. What happened?
Yo, check this out. Look.
A new terrorist cell is rising up
and it's killing both
soldiers and civilians.
Like, it's happening again.
You serious?
Where is Marawi?
It's just south of here in
the Lanao del Sur province.
It once had the largest Muslim population
in the Philippines.
Are they from the Middle East?
No, they're Filipinos.
Really? In a Christian nation?
Well, the majority
of the country is but
I mean, I thought we had
this situation under control.
I mean, Muslims, Filipino Muslims,
they're killing other Filipinos.
Not all Muslims are like
that, Jack, and you know it.
I'm half Moroccan.
So, what does that make me?
I have Muslims in my family and so do you.
They're the kindest people I know.
Just a small faction that are radicalized.
Is this what that guy
Samir was talking about?
Yeah. I mean, that
was his version though.
Right. I uh, I gotta go.
I'll see you guys in a bit.
- Yeah, later.
- Okay.
(shoes tapping)
Anyways, I don't know what
your schedule looks like,
but if you're open, I can show
you around town some time.
I mean, it's the least
I can do for your help.
Oh, that would be nice.
Anthony.
Hi, Terri. I'm glad you could make it.
Hi, Auntie Elsa.
You have your mother's medication?
- Okay.
- Okay?
- I'll be up.
- Right? Okay.
Okay, Ter.
'Kay.
Rain check on the offer?
Yeah, sure.
(utensils clinking)
(shoes tapping)
Further updates to
report on the whereabouts
of missing Japanese
businessman Shinya Yamada,
the CEO of Yamada industries,
who was last seen in Iligan City.
The Japanese government and authorities
have been hard pressing local officials
for a nationwide search,
believing that the disappearance
may possibly be tied to
the recent kidnappings
that have been surging in Iligan City.
If you have any information
on the whereabouts
of Mr. Yamada, please contact
local authorities right away.

Rishi, you have to
finish your food first.
Or at least finish your vegetables, huh?
(door thudding)
(door latch clicking)
Brother.
Come in, come in. What a surprise.
Honey, Rishi. Look who's here.
Uncle Yussef!
Oh, there's my little man.
Oh God. I missed you.
What did you bring for me this time?
Oh, you mean presents?
Oh, I'm sorry, Rishi.
I don't have any presents
for you this time.
Unless you count my little
friend here as a present.
Thanks, Uncle Yussef.
Ah, you're welcome, Rishi.
Now, you'll have a bedtime buddy.
Hey, where do you think
you're going, mister?
Did you excuse yourself?
Honey, I think it's okay.
It's almost his bedtime.
Brother, have a seat, please.
Make yourself comfortable.
[Yussef] Thank you. Thank you.
Hon, can you make sure he
brushes his teeth, please?
(Yussef groaning)
You. You spoil him more than us, huh?
You know, growing up I
wish I had a cool uncle.
I hope to be that for him.
(laughs softly) Let me get you a plate.
Oh no, no, no, no.
I, I already ate.
(gunfire popping)
So, anyway, what brings
you to this part of Marawi?
I just wanted to check how you are.
And the family of course.
I haven't seen you guys in a while.
Mm.
I apologize for all the commotion
that's been going on around here.
I'm sure you've heard
that there's been a lot
of Christian sightings
in and around this area.
I had to come down here personally
to oversee how the
situation was progressing.
Not that I wasn't looking
forward to seeing you as well.
My brother, have you
found these Christians
that you're looking for?
Not all of them, but that's
where I can use your help.
Brother, everybody, Muslim or not,
we're all avoiding going outside
because of, you know, gunfire.
I know.
True.
But Omar, I uh, I remember
before all this conflict,
some of your coworkers at
the office are Christian.
Correct?
Yes, brother.
With everything that's been going on,
we have lost touch.
Mm.
Do you remember any of their
names or their families?
Brother, we weren't that close.
Omar, just any information
about them will help.
Well.
There was Martin.
Uh, James. David.
That's all I can remember.
[Yussef] And you
haven't seen any of them?
Around here?
[Omar] Honestly, brother, I...
I don't imagine them getting this far.
[Yussef] Okay.
(tense ominous music)
(plate clinking)
(tense ominous music)
You are a lucky man, Omar.
Jasmine can really cook.
We are grateful that we can enjoy
a delicious meal every
night with each other.
And Jasmine will really
appreciate the compliment.
We've known each
other a long time, Omar.
Even before all this conflict.
I look to you as someone
I can call my brother.
So, do I to you, Yussef.
We see some of our own risk their lives
to come save those people
in the battle zone.
(tense ominous music)
Makes me sick.
Groups of Muslims protecting Christians.
(tense ominous music)
Your family can support you.
(tense ominous music)
(scoffs)
(sniffs) Look at me.
Getting all emotional over nothing.
(Omar breathes shakily)
We must strive to move forward.

[Jasmine[ Yussef!

Uncle Yussef?

You okay there tough guy.
Where's mommy and daddy?
(militants shouting)
(hostages crying)
You know what?
Mommy and daddy said
that you can hang out with Uncle Yussef.
Really?
(guns cocking)
(hostages whimpering and crying)
(Samir speaking in Tagalog)
(gunfire popping)
It's okay. She's okay.
Just go back to sleep.
It's okay.

(footsteps clacking)
(tense ominous music)
Don't be afraid.
I'm a close family member
of your Uncle Yussef.
That makes us family too.
You are a gift to help secure our future.
Oh, you must be hungry.
(door thumping)
(door hinge squeaking)
(footsteps tapping)
It's okay, Rishi.
(door hinge squeaking)
I heard about Omar.
(speaking in Arabic)
You were right about him, sir.
I should have listened.
Does the boy know?
No, sir.
How are we progressing?
Our men have been
surveying the surroundings
for the past month.
We believe we know the
routine of the establishments
to fully make our move now.
You believe?
There may be resistance, of course.
But nothing we can't handle.
I don't have to remind you
that bringing our
children back to the fold
will secure our foundation
for future generations.
I understand completely, sir.
I've always seen something
special inside you, Yussef.
I've looked to you as someone
who could be my living legacy
for when I'm gone.
I know you'll continue to make sure
that our efforts and
sacrifices will not be in vain.
That our beliefs will not be destroyed.
I'm honored, sir.
(gentle haunting music)
Let me know when it's done.
And what of the others, sir?
(tense foreboding music)
(bell clanging)
Anthony?
(citizens chattering)
Let's go.
You both go ahead.
I'm just gonna go grab something.
- Okay.
- Thank you, Auntie.
See you.

[Reporter] Investigations
are still ongoing
of the cause of the blast
that killed dozens of people
in Marawi City, Sunday Morning.
Commander James Diaz,
the commander of Joint Task
Force Trident said Tuesday
- Excuse me.
- That he directed
the Marawi City Police and
the Philippine Military
to immediately identify-
Excuse me.
- The terrorist-
- Oh, sorry.
- Are these fresh?
- Ah, just fried this morning.
- I'll take two, please.
- Okay.
(glass door squeaking)
Hey, Terri.
Let me grab your pickup in the back.
Hang on, please.
Quit following me.
Didn't know this was your spot.
Grabbing some snacks after church?
Yeah, the Body of Christ
is all I ate this morning.
Actually, I'm just picking
some snacks from my mom.
I recognize some of the stuff
from the Filipino stores
we have in the States.
Best to go with what you know, huh?
So, you like those?
My mom used to buy 'em for my brother
every Sunday after church.
It's kind of a tradition.
Oh, I didn't know you had a brother.
Yeah, well...
He's really not-
Hey, sorry.
Oh, sorry it took a while.
- Thank you.
- It's a lot of snacks.
I appreciate it.
- Okay.
- How much do I owe you?
- Just 220 pesos.
- All right.
- Okay.
- Thank you.
Say hi to the little ones.
Thank you.
(glass door squeaking)
(footsteps tapping)
Little ones?
As in kids?
(tricycle rumbling)
I, I didn't know you had kids.
(engine rumbling)
Come on. I wanna show you something.
Oh, is this that offer again?
Yeah, something like that.
[Terri] I heard you're in the Navy.
[Anthony] Let me guess. From Liz?
How long?
[Anthony] Going on seven years now.
[Terri] That's dedication right there.
[Anthony] My mom was planning
on staying here for a while.
- Hi, Terri.
- But
they're expecting me back soon.
You know, after my
father and brother died,
it completely changed my mom.
She left to start a
new life in the States.
[Terri] Your father and brother?
Um, I'm sorry, I didn't know.
[Anthony] Ah, that's okay.
I didn't know them.
They died before I was even born.
[Terri] If you don't mind me asking.
What happened?
[Anthony] There was a bombing
that happened here 26 years ago.
[Terri] Oh wow.
It must have been hard for you
and your mom all these years.
[Anthony] Yeah, I guess.
But I didn't know otherwise.
I joined the SEALS to fill that void.
[Terri] And did it?
It opened my eyes to a lot of things.
Made me focus on what was important.
And what's that?
Taking care of my mom, being a good son,
protecting my country.
What about your faith?
Do you believe in religion?
Or God?
It's, it's complicated.
Looks like we got some things in common.
Wow.
What is it?
It's a symbol of Islam and
the cross of Christianity.
Together.
(camera shutter clicking)
(vehicle whooshing)
It's nice to see people
still hope for unity.
Even though some may disagree.
(soft somber music)
We're here.
(birds chirping)
Where?
What I wanted to show you.
(door handle clicking)
(birds chirping)
Hey. Hey, Ahmed.
(keys jangling)
(metal door clanking)
You're here.
We were getting antsy.
Oh, he's good.
Um, this is Anthony. Liz's
cousin from the States.
Hi.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
I can take care of this, Terri.
You don't have to worry.
- Oh no, it's fine.
I enjoy giving these to them.
(birds chirping)
You coming?
(metal door rattling)
(birds chirping)
(gentle tranquil music)
Come on. I wanna introduce you.
Hey, kids. Look who's back.
Hey!
(children clamoring)
All right, calm down. Calm down.
Here, you got some food. Oh.
Hey, there are many of those,
so you have to share them, okay?
All right.
All right. No more.
That's it.
Did everybody get something?
[Children] Yeah.
What do we say?
(children speaking in Tagalog)
(gentle tranquil music)
So, these are your children.
I never said I gave birth to them.
(Liz laughing)
What is this place?
It started off small but then
it grew to what you see now.
I just couldn't stand by and
continue to turn a blind eye
knowing that there are children out there
who have lost everything.
Scared and alone.
Some of them are actually
runaways who got out of Marawi.
Some lost their parents
while trying to escape.
Did any of the parents
make it outta Marawi?
Looking for their kids?
No.
Not for any of the kids that we care for.
I wanna show the children
that they aren't alone.
That there are people out
there who care about them.
(metal door clanging)
Wait here.
Anthony. Wait.

What do you mean? Where's Liz and Ahmed?
Listen to me. There's no time.
Militants have them. You have to go now.
Oh God. Okay.
Kids.
- Okay. All right.
Come on, kids. Come on.
Okay. I'll be back.

Liz?
We're here.
(children crying)
(ignition starting)
- You okay?
- Yeah.
(vehicle whooshing)
- Get down! Get down!
- Don't shoot! Don't shoot!
Get down! On the ground!
(Terri and children conversing in Tagalog)
(siren wailing)
[Liz] None of you saw
them when you barged in?
No. There was no one else inside.
What was Ahmed's involvement
in this facility?
He was a caretaker.
Helped watch over the kids.
[Notetaker] Does he have any family?
Someone we could talk to?
I don't know.
[Notetaker] I know
their faces were covered.
But are there any other details
you can tell me about the gunmen?
(flashback whooshing)
Uh, one of them had
a star mark on his arm.
[Notetaker] Like a tattoo?
No, it didn't look like ink.
It was more like a birthmark.
[Notetaker] How about you, sir?
Did you see anything else?
No.
Everything happened so fast.
[Notetaker] Okay, I
understand. Thank you both.
[Medic] You're all good, sir.
Thank you.
(zipper zipping)
Liz.
You said one of them had a
star shaped mark on his arm?
Yeah, that's what it looked like. Why?
Can I borrow your pen
and clipboard, please?
Thank you.
(exhales heavily)
(paper rustling)
Think you can draw it for me?
(reporter speaking in Tagalog)
I don't remember exactly
what it looked like,
but it's something like this.
(paper rustling)
Anthony!
Oh my god. I got so worried about you.
- Liz.
- My god.
- Okay.
- How are you?
[Anthony] I'm fine.
(door hinge squeaking)
(shoes plodding)
Thank you all for coming
on such short notice.
As most of you know, there
was an attempted kidnapping
at a private childcare center yesterday
by a group of militants.
Thankfully, we got there on time
before any of the children got hurt.
They are now in our protected custody.
We have apprehended two
of their accomplices.
And I want to assure
the citizens of Iligan
that we are conducting
a thorough investigation
to make sure that we
bring these terrorists in.

You've been the talk of the town lately.
I don't know if that's good or bad.
Well, it's a nice change of pace
to have something positive
in the news for once.
So, what brings you in?
I know that Liz said
that one of the gunmen
had a distinct mark on their arm?
Yeah, we're looking into that.
But no leads so far.
(paper rustling)
Is this what the mark looks like?
According to Liz.
I don't know how much this can help,
but maybe one of the
gunmen you apprehended
could tell us more.
Well, it can't hurt.
We'll bring this up in
our next interrogation.
You mind if I watch?
Out of respect and
appreciation for what you did
for those children,
I'll allow it this one time.
[Anthony] Thank you.

(James speaking in Tagalog)

Update me in 48 hours.
Yes, sir.
(tense foreboding music)
(motorcycle rumbling)
(phone vibrating)
[Samir] I heard you were looking for me.
Who is this?
[Samir] Don't bother trying to find me.
You'll just be wasting your time.
Just remember this.
We have eyes and ears all over.
What do you want from me?
[Samir] I'm sending
a way point to you now.
Come alone and don't get smart.
You got 15 minutes.
(vehicle whooshing)
[Operator] You have
reached your destination.
(car door latch clicking)
(tense foreboding music)
(car door slamming)
(door squeaking and clanging)
(tense suspenseful music)
(footsteps plodding)
(rifles cocking)
(footsteps plodding)
[Samir] Pretty accurate drawing.
We've been keeping an eye on you.
Where is he?
(camera shutter clicking)
(notification chiming)
(tense suspenseful music)
[James] Shit.
(phone clanking)
(glass breaking)
[Samir] Now, you can come
with us quietly, or by force.
It's your choice.
(tense suspenseful music)
(door clanging)
(tense suspenseful music)
(fist smacking)
(militants yelling and grunting)
(fists and legs smacking)
(militants and Anthony
yelling and grunting)
(fist smacking)
(Anthony grunting)
(gun cocking)
(tense dramatic music)
(Anthony grunting and yelling)
Easy.
Easy.
(Samir speaking in Tagalog)
(Anthony breathing heavily)
(Anthony exhales weakly)
(door clanging)
- Clear right.
- Clear left.
- Clear.
- Start search.
(tense suspenseful music)
Fuck!
(rope straining)
(tense foreboding music)
Where the hell am I?
(metal door clanging)
(steps plodding)
(metal door clanging)
What do you want with me?
[Samir] We have big plans for you.
An American hero captured
here in the Philippines.
That'll be some headline.
I'm not a hero.
I'm not a part of this.
[Samir] You made
yourself a part of this.
You people have no
idea what war really is.
Because I'm not a SEAL like you.
That's one thing about
war we can both agree on.
Keep your comrades close
but your enemies closer.
No fucking way.
(tags clinking)
(metal door clanging)
Looks like you got mixed
up with the wrong crowd.
(metal door clanging)
This the one?
In the flesh.
So, you're the American.
He'll be viable for our cause.
(flashback whooshing)
(tense foreboding music)
Joseph.
What did you just call me?
How'd you get that mark on your arm?
What the fuck did you just say?
I'm just asking a simple question.
And I'm asking you.
What the hell did you just call me?
That mark.
I only know one other
person that has that same.
(exhales shakily) It can't be.
(Anthony groaning painfully)
I'm going to ask you again
and you better fucking choose
your next words carefully.
How do you know that name?
(Anthony breathing sharply)
It was my brother's name.
My mother named her first child Joseph.
(tense suspenseful music)
(Yussef yelling)
(fist smacking)
(chair clattering)
(body thudding)
(Anthony coughing)
(blood trickling)
(Yussef speaking in Tagalog)
(metal door clanging)
(Anthony groaning)
(militants yelling)
Our priority right now is this man here.
The American who was last
seen here at the precinct
has gone missing.
There's evidence that he's
been taken by militants.
Now, he hasn't been missing long,
but we need to search the town
before concluding that he's been taken
to the nearest militant hotspot in Marawi.
(soldiers murmuring)
So we need to work fast and efficient,
without causing any panic to the citizens.
You have your orders. Dismissed.
[Soldiers] Sir, yes sir!
(Anthony moaning weakly)
(plate rustling)
(rifle clicking)
(steps plodding)
(metal door clanging)
(radio chanting in Arabic)
[Yamada] Prayer time.
(radio chanting in Arabic)
What did you say?
They pray at the same time every day.
Hey, you're that Japanese
businessman in the news
that was kidnapped.
My name is Shin.
How long have you been here?
I don't know.
Maybe a few weeks.
Lost track of time.
What were you doing
here in the Philippines?
I own a large import company
that I inherited from my father.
I would give it all up
just to go back home to my family.
Why us?
Leverage.
To send a message to the world.
(radio chanting)
(glass door squeaking)
Hey, Terri.
Liz already got the pickup today.
Oh thanks.
But I wanted to ask you
if you remember the guy
who I ran into here a couple days ago?
He was buying turon from you.
The guy that saved the kids?
Has he stopped by recently?
I haven't seen them
since you both were here.
Ah yeah. Please let
me know if you see him.
Okay, sure. Take care.
(wind rustling)
What took you so long?
I'm sorry.
[Terri] Hey.
Ssh. Get in the truck.
- Let's go, boy.
- Hey.
Picking up supplies with the little ones?
Whose kid is that, Samir?
He's one of ours.
Found him on the street.
Decided to take him under my wing.
I learned from the best.
That's cute and ironic
considering how you are with kids.
Well, I'm trying to
turn over a new leaf.
Are you okay, sweetie?
Is this man treating you okay?
(vehicle whooshing)
I didn't even force him to do that.
(car door thumping)
Listen.
Protecting those children
only puts your life in danger.
They won't stop coming for those kids.
Let the police do their job.
(ignition starting)
(tense foreboding music)

(bird trilling)
(gravel crunching)
(car door slamming)
(footsteps thumping)
Yussef?
(Yussef sighs)
What are you doing here?
Nothing.
So, I want to double check.
What kind of wall they have
around those kids in town.
Seeing if we missed anything.
And?
Looks like they got them
held up at the church.
But it's not a small police brigade.
(scoffs)
It's that American, isn't it?
Just say the word, Yussef,
and he'll disappear tonight.
I never told anyone that name before.
That is not your name.
He's delusional.
Don't let this nobody
get inside your head.
I never told you this,
but I did have a brother.
(door thumping)
(Amir speaking in Tagalog)
(door latch clicking)
Samir.
(Amir speaking in Tagalog)
(Samir speaking in Tagalog)
(Amir speaking in Tagalog)

(Samir speaking in Tagalog)
(Amir speaking in Tagalog)
(slow tense music)
[Jennifer] Happy birthday, my baby boy.
[Hasan] Are you ready
for your brother, Joseph?
(citizens screaming in panic)
[Jennifer] Joseph! Joseph!
(Yussef gasping deeply)
(slow gentle music)
(switch clicking)
(slow gentle music)
(metal door clanging)
(Yussef speaking in Tagalog)
(metal door clanging)
Who are you, really?
Or would you rather have
it beaten out of you?
(scoffs) Go ahead.
If you think that'll make a difference.
(bullet whizzing)
(tense foreboding music)
Next one won't miss.
What the hell is going on here?
Answer my fucking question.
This again?
Go ahead. Kill me.
You're wasting your time, Yussef.
I'm not going anywhere
until this motherfucker
tells me who he really is.
(tense foreboding music)
It's clear that he doesn't fear death.
(tense foreboding music)
(metal door clanging)
(hostage moaning fearfully)
You ready to talk now?
This has nothing to do with him.
(gun booming)
(hostage crying fearfully)
All right! That's enough.
(gun booming)
(flesh sizzling)
(hostage crying fearfully)
Stop it!
I told you I'm nobody.
(hostage crying fearfully)
What are you doing?
(Rishi whimpering)
(tense suspenseful music)
Let's try this again, shall we?
Is this man your brother?
(tense suspenseful music)
(Rishi whimpering)
No.
- Samir!
- No!
(gun booming)
(Rishi whimpering)
(Anthony breathing shakily)
No.
I had a brother.
But he died a long time ago.
(Rishi whimpering)
(Anthony breathing shakily)
(metal door clanging)
Rishi.
Go on.
(metal door clanging)
You should eat.
(footsteps tapping)
I never forgot her face.
I didn't know she was still alive.
And our father?
No.
Then why didn't she come looking for me?
She did.
Like hell she did.
Just not hard enough, huh?
Why didn't you come looking for her?
(chair leg scraping)
(slow tense music)
It was Samir.
(flashback whooshing)
- Hey!
- Hey. Give it back to me.
That's mine.
- It's mine now.
[Yussef] All I can remember
is chasing after him.
[Young Yussef] Give to me. It's mine.
[Yussef] And then it happened.
(explosion booming)
(citizens screaming frantically)
[Young Samir] No. This way.
[Young Yussef] No, I need
to find my mom and dad.
[Young Samir] It's safer over here.
[Yussef] I was scared. Hungry.
I never felt so alone.
Over all the crying, all
I could hear was the bomb
going off in my head over and over.
(door latch clanking)
(plastic rustling)
(slow tense music)
And then, he walked in.
(door clanging)
(slow somber music)
(slow tense music)
(Young Amir speaking in Tagalog)
(slow tense music)
(Young Amir speaking in Tagalog)
Joseph.
(Young Amir and Young Samir
conversing in Tagalog)
(Young Amir speaking in Tagalog)
(gentle somber music)
But he never really
looked for them, did he?
Or at least tried.
Just not hard enough, huh?
And yet you still stand
with him knowing that.
He told me that they were both gone.
He wasn't wrong.
So many innocent people have died
under your facade of a higher purpose.
As a SEAL you killed to
protect what you care about.
I am killing to protect what I care about.
I'm where I am supposed to be.
Fighting for people that need saving
'cause they saved me.
They saved you by
killing your real family?
There's a family you're born into.
And the family you choose.
(slow somber music)
(people chattering)
(vendors shouting in Tagalog)
(Rishi breathing heavily)
That's a lot of food
for just one person.
(Rishi gasping)
Don't be afraid.
If you're hungry, I
can take you some place
where you'll never have to steal again.
(plastic bag rustling)
(citizens distant chattering)
Samir doesn't feed you?
Where is he?
Where the fuck is that kid?
10 o'clock.
[Terri] Stay behind me.
(car door slamming)
Hey, thanks for finding my kid.
Where is he?
Where is who?
Anthony. Where is he?
Listen, I don't know
what that little brat
has been telling you,
but it's better to stick
to your own business.
Well, maybe the police
will have something to say about this.
On what grounds?
Just because the kid
thinks he saw something?
Samir, I swear if you've done something
Let it go.
That's always been your problem.
Let's go, kid.
He's not going anywhere with you.
You know what?
Keep him.
Let's go.
(ignition starting)
(car door slamming)
(engine revving)
(crickets chirping)
(engine rumbling)
(car door slamming)
Yussef, we got a problem.
What is it?
Where's Rishi?
That's just it.
The kid spilled the beans on the American.
What do you mean? To who?
To Terri.
Who happens to have the backing
of the entire fucking police force.
I told you we should've
just let the fucking kid
Don't blame it on the kid.
You almost put a fucking
bullet in his head.
That was a stunt.
You knew I wasn't gonna hurt him.
You think Terri will talk?
She has no proof.
And besides we have the leverage
if she actually does anything about it
which is why we need to decide now
what our endgame is with this guy.
I still want to talk to him.
About what?
I need to know what he knows.
He's the fucking only
link I have to my past.
The past that you left behind.
They abandoned you.
I deserve to know.
Don't let this cloud your judgment.
(slow tense music)
You're sure, Terri?
This kid told me that
they got an American there.
And Samir was there too.
It's got to be Anthony.
I know without hard evidence,
the police would have no reason
to investigate further, but
How could this be happening?
I'm so sorry.
Did he say anything else?
Like location, where he could be?
All he knows is that
they're in the outskirts
near the checkpoint to Marawi.
We should find Samir
and get him to talk.
But I'm sure he'll be more cautious.
We'll find him, Jen.
I promise you.
This country has taken
so much of my life from me.
And now, it wants to take everything else.
(gentle somber music)
(utensils clinking)
Finally decided to eat.
How long do you plan to keep me here?
(utensils clinking)
What do we do now?
What do you expect me to do?
You were going to kill me.
Or does me being your brother change that?
I killed brothers before.
Then why is this any different?
Mindanao has been a
battleground for rebel groups,
fighting our so-called
government of the people.
And enemies have set aside differences
to pledge allegiance to ISIS cause.
Stand with me on the side of the fight
and become a part of a real brotherhood.
You're crazy.
I'm a survivor.
You're lost.
I was lost too.
And what I found saved my life.
And it can save yours.
Please join me, brother.
Or you can come with me.
At least let mom see
that it wasn't her fault.
That she didn't lose everything that day.
She kept holding onto the hope
that her son was still alive.
And she was right.
I was always in your shadow.
It was not my place to fill
that empty space for her.
That's your birthright,
Joseph.
(slow tense music)
How did it come to this?
The American has been more
of a problem than an asset.
Do you remember a man
named Hasan I told you about
when you were very young?
He was like a brother to you.
He was killed, right?
He was a special man.
A man I looked up to.
He saved my life.
But everything changed when he
fell in love with that woman.
Yes, they had a child.
A son.
His name was Joseph.
Not only did I recognize that face,
but also the bracelet that
belonged to Hasan's wife.
When the leaders found out
that Hasan was secretly married
to that woman and had a child,
they gave him an ultimatum.
But he chose them
over us.
Over me.
So, that bomb.
That was-
Casualties of war.
I tried to convince him to stay,
but when I saw that child,
I knew Hasan was gone.
So, you took him in?
For what?
Out of guilt?
To make him into the man
his father couldn't be.
I didn't know that his
wife was still alive
and they had another son.
(slow tense music)
If what you're saying
is true about Yussef,
then it's your turn to make the choice.
(Samir exhales shakily)
(metal door clanking)
Samir.
(Samir speaking in Tagalog)
[Yussef] What's going on?
We have an American hostage
and it's about time we
use him to our advantage.
[Yussef] And what do you plan on doing?
How come he wasn't informed about this?
Our brothers need to see strength
and a leader who will not falter.
And that's come into question now with you
and this outsider.
He doesn't mean anything to me.
(Samir scoffs)
(militant speaking in Tagalog)
(metal bars clanking and squeaking)
(slow tense music)
(footsteps crunching)
(Anthony grunts)
What are you doing, Samir?
You say this outsider
means nothing to you.
Prove it.
Show these men the leader
that brought them this far.
At least the last thing you
will see is the face of family.
(slow tense music)
- He's a leverage.
- Do it!
Or I will.
(slow tense music)
Do it!
(gunfire booming)
Get this man out of my face.
[Militant] Get up.
(Anthony groaning and gasping)
Tomorrow the whole nation
will know who you are.
(sliding door whooshing)
(footsteps crunching)
(militant apologizing in Tagalog)
(sliding door whooshing)
(slow tense music)
(Yussef exhales heavily)
(tense foreboding music)
(sliding door clanking)
(slow tense music)
(sliding door clanking)
You've made quite an
impression since you've got here.
Interfered with taking back our children.
And you just happen to
be at the right place
and the right time with Terri.
As if my relationship
wasn't complicated enough.
You came and fucked everything up.
You know what the worst part is?
Look at me.
You took my brother away from me.
(fist smacking)
(Anthony groaning)
You were just an outsider who has no clue
what kind of war we've been fighting.
We live in the battlefield.
You're just a visitor.
(tense suspenseful music)
(fist smacking)
(Anthony groaning)
(tense foreboding music)
(sliding door clanking)
(slow tense music)
(phone vibrating)
Oh God. Anthony?
Anthony? Anthony, where are you?
Are you okay?
Sweetie, are you there?
(sniffles) Whoever you are, please,
please don't hurt my boy.
(sniffles)
Please let him come home, please.
He's fine.
But he doesn't have a lot of time.
You raised a good son.
Who is this?
Where's Anthony?
I have a message from him
to pass on to Commander James.
The text instructions will be sent to you.
Anthony will come home to you.
Maybe you can take him to
that favorite cafe of our...
Of yours.
Who?
(gasps) Who, who is this?
(tone beeping)
(breathing shakily)
(gentle solemn music)
(bracelet clinking)
(gentle solemn music)
(tense suspenseful music)
(metal door clanking)
(rifles clicking)
Ten hut.
(tense suspenseful music)
At ease.
The exact location is 10 minutes
away from the checkpoint.
Now, we don't know what
we'll be up against,
but we'll use the
darkness to our advantage.
No one fires unless I give the signal.
We don't want to compromise our position.
(upbeat dramatic music)
Understood?
[Soldiers] Sir, yes sir!
(upbeat dramatic music)
[Soldier] Go!

We have to move quick.
The prayer will be ending soon.
You called the Commander?
He's on his way?
Let's hope he is.

Let's go.
(gun chamber clicking)
(tense suspenseful music)
(cars whooshing)

(footsteps plodding)
(tense suspenseful music)
(soldier asking in Tagalog)
Back up.
(car whooshing)
Let's go.

Commander.
Let's get our brother home.
- Hooyah!
- Hooyah!
Move out.
(tense suspenseful music)
(gun clicking)
(tense suspenseful music)

(tense suspenseful music)
Fuck.
(tense suspenseful music)
Sir? Oh!
(fist smacking)
(body thudding)
(tense suspenseful music)
(guns cocking)
Why, Yussef?
You think they can ever accept you
after everything you've done?
That doesn't matter, Samir.
He's my brother.
(tense foreboding music)
Yes.
He is.
But this ends now.
Don't do it.

Stop talking. You're

Put pressure on it.
We have to go.
I need to bring you home.
You already have.
(gentle somber music)

Her voice sounded so beautiful.
(sniffles) Just how I remembered it.

The religious serial
killings that have terrified
the people of San Antonio
in the Laguna Province
has finally come to an end.
Authorities refuse to comment
as investigations are ongoing.
We'll have further
updates as they develop.
Security along the checkpoint
from Iligan to Marawi
has tightened after reports of gunfire
was heard coming from the region.
Investigations continue with hopes to find
any possible suspects.
(doorbell chiming)
(upbeat energetic music)
(door knob clacking)
- Hey.
- Hey.
Hey, Terri.
Hey.
I just wanted to say goodbye
to Anthony before he left.
You just missed him.
He went to attend a town hall meeting.
Oh, I didn't know he was gonna attend.
Let's go.
I've had my fill. You guys go ahead.
Yeah, I'll go with you.
All right.
(door hinge squeaking)
(door clanking)
We must all remember that
Almighty Allah is a loving God
who is blind to the differences
that we have for each other.
Blind to the justification
for the conflicts that plague our society.
All the suffering that we humans endure
has always been with us
since the fall of man.
Yet we never seek to
understand his perspective.
I hope that the struggles we share
will serve as a lesson for us all
to be kind and loving to one another
despite our differences.
Insha Allah.
[Attendees] Insha Allah.
Thank you.
So, as we close,
we must ask ourselves.
When our Christian brothers pray to God
to crush their enemies
and our Muslim brothers
pray to Allah for the same,
who does He choose?
(Jennifer breathing shakily)
We must ask ourselves before asking.
What did God want?
(Jennifer breathing shakily)
I think we know the answer.
We must remember.
We are all God's children.
And should love one
another without prejudice.
Just as He loves us all.
(gentle pensive music)
Let us bow our heads and pray.
Tis our home
Where our heartbeats rise
In every smile in every sigh
From the city streets
to fields of gold
In our stories our love unfolds
Through the seasons we stand as one
In laughter and battles fought
Together woven life's tapestry
In every lesson that we've been taught
(gentle bright music)
In our stories our love unfolds
Not just in glory but struggles too
We find our strength
We'll make it through
With open arms and hands untied
We carry the faith ignite the night
(gentle bright music)
So here's to the land
that we call our home
(choir vocalizing)
In the whispers of the wind
(choir vocalizing)
(gentle bright music)
(gentle bright music continues)
(gentle bright music continues)
(gentle bright music continues)
