00:14 Teddy and I are spending a lot of time with this Taliban unit.
00:18 >> He matter.
00:19 >> And as we get drawn deeper into their world,
00:22 there are things about ourselves that I have to be very careful not to reveal.

01:35 >> You don't know anything.
01:36 As far as you understand, I'm a man.
01:39 Promise me.

01:41 [MUSIC]
01:46 >> Every time one of them gets a phone call, my heart skips a beat.
01:49 [MUSIC]

01:53 >> We don't have anywhere to go.
01:55 >> You trust me, right?
