of the evacuation of these girls from afghanistan. - nick's role in the mission was totally focused on the intelligence aspect. he was aware of what was happening on the grounds. he was reevaluating how to evacuate the girls. - the folks who were leading the efforts to get the afghans out, were either private citizens like myself who were no longer part of the government, or they were government employees who had a lot of time on the ground in afghanistan, and were coordinating with those civilians. - i'm claire russo, and i was the leader of the mission to get the girls out of afghanistan. the evacuation of the girls' soccer team wasn't written into my job description. it helps that my day job at the time was helping the us government figure out how to get people safely onto the airport and safely to evacuation. - claire russo was in charge of trying to find asylum for the girls,

also being aware of what's happening on the ground as well with regards to the withdrawal, and all the details from the governmental side. (farkhunda speaks in foreign language) my role was taking care of the communication side of the mission, so i would essentially get details from the intelligence team, and then i was communicating with the girls through whatsapp, primarily voice memos. (farkhunda speaks in foreign language) (frishta speaks in foreign language) (sadaf speaks in foreign language) (frishta speaks in foreign language)

- the first night, we had sent them to a high school, and from that location, we were supposed to get them into the secret cia base, and from there airlifted into the airport, and evacuated out of afghanistan. (people speaking in foreign language) (sadaf speaks in foreign language)

- the other folks i was working with,

who were gonna give us the indication that it was safe for the girls to proceed, nobody was answering their phone. we weren't hearing from anybody, and the silence meant we knew, or i knew that we were in trouble. (sadaf speaks in foreign language) (explosions booming) (banin speaks in foreign language) (frishta speaks in foreign language) - at some point, i asked my friend who had been on that base, like, "have you heard anything about this operation?" he's like, "claire, whatever it was, it's impossible now." and he sent me a picture of just like, burning.

and what he was showing me was the base being destroyed. the americans were leaving the base, and that required them to destroy anything that couldn't be in taliban hands. (farkhunda speaks in foreign language) - i had to explain to them, you know, the the smoke that you saw, the fire that you saw, that was your pathway out.

- and we knew where the gates were, and we knew which gates the taliban were at, and which ones they weren't. there's a gas station on the backside of the kabul airport. the girls are waiting at the gas station until their turn in the queue comes up, in order to go into the airport. (tense music) (sadaf speaks in foreign language) (banin speaks in foreign language) (sadaf speaks in foreign language) (tense music)

(banin speaks in foreign language) (frishta speaks in foreign language) (gunshots ringing) (sadaf speaks in foreign language) (farkhunda speaks in foreign language) - kabul had become increasingly hostile. there were sort of snap checkpoints. the taliban would just set up a checkpoint at what appeared to be a sort of random location.

- so we started moving them in small groups through the mountains or hills, that are right outside of the kabul airport. (sadaf speaks in foreign language) (banin speaks in foreign language) - [sadaf] it's too hard because we've come by the mountains, and we tried a lot to arrive to airport. (sadaf speaks in foreign language)

- once they didn't get in the gate, and they had been waiting there for an unbelievable amount of time, no food, no water, the level of danger just started to rise exponentially. - nick and his team said, "claire, you have to make a call as to what happens now." and i said... "we don't have a viable route out of the country right now. the girls need to go home, they need to get off the streets. there is a curfew in effect. they cannot be, you know, at this point, casualties to the taliban."
