Original subtitles

I'll crush my enemies and spite my foes

I entered the war without striking a blow I hunted them with my mind

Without spilling a single drop of blood

Reclaiming rights is an art only I have mastered I'll drive my enemies insane

No one can save you from my wrath For everyone fears me

My cunning is beyond my years When I show up, everyone takes heed

No one can save you from my wrath For everyone fears me

My cunning is beyond my years When I show up, everyone takes heed

I've mastered maneuvering and hiding my intent Running things exactly as I please

There is money between us I will collect Welcome, my guest

I've mastered maneuvering and hiding my intent Running things exactly as I please

There is money between us I will collect Welcome, my guest

Art, war, striking, my balance is off I'll throw you left and right until you're lost

I know injustice inside out Break down the walls so your brother can cross

I don't deal in crooked ways or fakery Everyone fled in hardship, I saw who stayed silent

Power isn't in muscles My mind is my lethal weapon

No need for violence I'm stronger than impulse

War is deception And gain comes from teamwork

No matter what I lose, I'll win in the end And this planet will be under my control

No one can save you from my wrath For everyone fears me

No one can save you from my wrath For everyone fears me

My cunning is beyond my years When I show up, everyone takes heed

EPISODE TWO

The 4 of us are just like so many people who lost their money and their lives

because of the scammers at "Future Land."

I managed to access the list of depositors who dealt with the company.

And from those long lists, I chose you.

What can you offer us?

We're going to steal back the money that was stolen from us.

Do you believe I'm capable of pulling this off?

What if I say no?

I'll do it anyway. Doesn't matter.

Even if I trusted you, I don't trust those three you picked.

"If you can lead, numbers don't matter."

I didn't mean the number. They're a bunch of losers and ex-cons.

A forger, a pickpocket, and a hacker.

At best, they might rob us.

Or cause us a lot of trouble. Or both.

That's not their nature. They were forced.

What would make them change their behavior this time?

A second chance.

It might be their last chance to recover what they lost.

Do they still remember what they lost?

People don't forget what was theirs.

They might forget an old flame or a loved one who passed away.

But forgetting something stolen from them? Never.

They'll obsess over their property, living in regret, waiting for a chance.

And I am that chance.

Actually, I'm their only chance.

‐ You're right. ‐ "He who hesitates is lost."

What's wrong?

I'm thinking about something.

I'm afraid to…

It's really scary.

But you know what?

It's the first time I'm doing something scary…

but right at the same time.

Do you know what I mean?

Of course. Like…

Like getting a shot at the doctor's. We feel scared.

We know it hurts, but it's good for us.

Because it helps us heal.

True.

So you advise me to take the shot?

Are you sick?

I'm sick, broke, and exhausted.

My life is miserable. Poverty is nipping at my heels.

And this shot… I mean this job…

might solve all our problems.

Yes, but it might also make them worse.

Yeah.

That's possible, of course.

We should forget it, right?

This thing you're thinking of, could it hurt anyone?

Yes, but it will hurt very evil people.

Ask someone older. I'm young; I might give bad advice.

Alright. Goodnight, kiddo.

Don't waste your money, invest in Future Land. The best prices for prime land in Egypt.

Under these circumstances, custody is hard to get.

‐ Hard? ‐ Impossible.

The mother is the natural custodian by law.

Custody goes to the mother automatically.

If you try to take the child, she'll file for custody and win.

A friend told me I could get custody due to the mother's incompetence.

You'll lose, and she'll keep the kid.

What if she marries?

That's different. We can file to strip her of custody and might win.

Then do that, Mr. Salah. What are you waiting for?

It costs money, Engineer. At least 20,000 pounds.

Between legal fees and notary costs.

And if the court appoints an expert, that's extra.

Don't worry about money. I'll handle it, God willing.

Excuse me, can you pay the check? Shift change.

Can you pay the whole thing? I forgot my wallet at home, sorry.

Fine.

Actually, I'm not fond of litigation.

I just want to scare her out of marrying.

I want her to feel that if she marries, I take Hossam.

My main goal is to stop her.

By the way, I have a recording of her with that guy.

‐ She says she plans to marry him… ‐ Listen to me, Engineer.

We're opening a legal consultancy office.

Setting up small companies, handling taxes, insurance,

commercial licenses, and criminal records.

What do you think?

I don't understand.

We need someone like you who's good with computers and paperwork.

Starting salary is 4,000 pounds a month.

Prove yourself, and it'll be 6,000 in two years.

It's a temporary gig until you find better.

Thank you very much, Mr. Salah. It's a great opportunity.

I'll think about it and let you know.

Okay.

I'm in.

I'm in too.

Good.

Two out of three ain't bad.

Works in your favor.

Thank God for that.

Let's go.

Come on in.

I hope this person isn't who I think it is.

Oh, it is.

What is this? How did you get in here?

Mai opened the door for me.

Please stop calling me "Miss." It annoys me.

Why? I'm showing respect.

Sister? You took off the veil?

You had a glow with it.

I haven't had breakfast yet, Sayed. What are you eating?

‐ Cheese. ‐ Cheese?

Give me a piece then.

Want me to make you a sandwich?

Yes, put everything in it. And pickles.

What is this? What's happening?

Sorry, he was starving and couldn't wait for delivery.

So he raided the fridge.

Listen. I spoke to my brother about your offer.

He advised me to stay away from this.

Prison and trouble aren't for you.

Fine. Finish your food and go in peace.

I don't understand.

Did you come just to eat and apologize?

No, you misunderstood me.

Since the "Future Land" incident, and us losing our money because of my brother…

and his wife and their unfair terms.

I always oppose my brother and do the opposite of what he says.

Meaning… I accept the offer. I'm in.

I'm staying here with you.

Okay, good.

‐ Excellent. ‐ The gang is complete.

‐ "The Art of War." ‐ We need to move fast.

"If you know yourself and know your enemy, you'll win a thousand battles."

I feel like I saw that on TikTok.

No.

It's from "The Art of War."

We need to focus. We'll need this book in the coming period.

According to the book, assuming we're fighting a battle…

It says, "Do not start a war unless victory conditions are met."

Meaning resources, intel, a backup plan, and an exit strategy in case of disaster.

Of course, we lack all these elements.

But I think we've got the disaster part covered.

I don't understand a word you're saying, but I'm at your service.

Alright.

Listen closely. My name is Ziad Saeed.

My father lost his money in "Future Land" and was thrown in prison.

His reputation tarnished, his life ruined, just like what happened to you.

We must keep one fact in mind moving forward.

These people stole our dreams, destroyed our future, then fled.

They are now enjoying the money they stole from us.

For years, I've been certain that half-measures won't work.

It's not just about recovering what's mine.

And you should think the same way.

No, the right thing, what will truly make us feel we regained our rights…

is recovering all the stolen money, down to the last pound.

And ensuring everyone involved in this crime gets punished.

How will you convince these guys to wait until the full amount is recovered?

I have to convince them I'm an idealist, a man of principle seeking justice.

And tell them they must wait till the end.

Yes, because the moment they get their money, they'll leave.

I'll cover all your expenses while we work together.

That's the nicest thing I've heard from you since we met.

Is that in "The Art of War" too?

But no one gets their money or the bonus…

the ten million pounds.

Unless we recover the entire stolen amount.

‐ So I take a leave from the bank? ‐ That would be best.

Let me tell you how much I make then.

I know.

I'll give you double.

That's the same amount each of you will get.

Just so you know, the bank gives bonuses and allowances.

We won't have time for that. The whole operation won't take three months.

Three months only? Great.

Excuse me, sir, the total target amount…

How much is it?

Six billion pounds.

Six billion pounds, in three months?

That's wonderful.

Six billion? Does that mean each of us…

is expected to recover two billion on his own?

How many zeroes in a billion?

If you knew the answer, would you handle it and give us our share?

He said six.

If it were just one billion, would you collect it alone and give us our due?

Shut up. Did anyone talk to you?

Didn't I tell you we have a disaster?

Mr. Ziad Saeed, if that's your real name…

Do you really think these wretches can steal six billion pounds?

Good question.

If you follow instructions and do exactly what I say,

we will recover everything.

But there's a condition I'll repeat. You must understand and agree to it.

There are many other depositors who lost their money.

When we restore their rights fully, we take our share. Not before that.

Excuse me, why don't we get our money first, then worry about the others?

That's my final decision. That's the condition.

Agreed?

Agreed. I have a list of all depositors' names.

And the dates they deposited their money.

Operation by operation, we'll refund them in order.

Listen, Mr. Ziad.

All your talk about depositors, justice, and recovering others' rights…

doesn't concern me in the slightest.

As for the amount you want us to steal…

my brain can't even comprehend it.

Regardless of the outcome,

I'll treat this as a job to earn my daily bread.

And maybe recover some of my losses.

Same here.

Me too.

I don't ask for more than that.

I have a small question. I leave Lara with my neighbor.

Regarding the work location, is it close? Is the traffic bad? And…

We'll work here.

Here? Is it safe?

Yes, there's a secret basement here. No one knows about it.

Where is it?

Follow me.

After you, Mai.

Go ahead.

What's wrong? Come on in.

What is this?

A convertible?

You know, this luxury car could bring you a fortune if sold.

If you stop your silly suggestions, maybe we'll have some luck.

Leave me alone.

Come on in.

This is the basement.

This will be our headquarters for the coming period.

Consider it your home for now.

You call this a basement?

Didn't I tell you? I'm staying here.

Come on, let's get to work.

Aren't you done yet?

We want to start.

I think this safe is empty.

We're supposed to fill it.

Give me a week, or exactly nine days, and I'll get it done.

Wow.

A meticulous thief.

Don't call me that.

If it were true, you'd have helped yourself, Sayed.

‐ Shall we start? ‐ Absolutely.

I hope everything goes well.

This is the crew.

These are the ones who took everything.

Jasser Radwan, Hashem El-Faham, and Yasmine El-Nasharty.

Who's this?

Does he look familiar?

Yeah, looks like the randoms who friend request me on Facebook.

That's the unknown ghost.

The hidden partner who took almost half the money.

You said you knew everyone's exact share.

Down to the last pound.

How did you find out?

Jasser Radwan, the company's Chief Accountant.

After the collapse, Jasser opened a car showroom.

A customs contact told me he imported a car shipment paid in cash.

He also bought a small villa on the North Coast.

And deposited 15 million pounds in small accounts.

The total value is around 50 million.

Which was equivalent to 6,250,000 dollars back then.

That's worth 300 million pounds today.

Hashem El-Faham. Company Legal Advisor.

Hashem covered his tracks well.

He bought properties in Zayed and Tagamoa under a foreign company based in Cyprus.

And bought rare paintings and manuscripts.

Through an employee at his accountant's office…

I noticed in the bank statements a landline number linked to the sender.

Checking the company's accounts, I found 150 million deposited before the purchases.

Equivalent to 18,750,000 dollars back then.

Which equals 900 million pounds now.

This one is the biggest monster.

The biggest monster.

Yasmine El-Nasharty.

Yasmine was the wife of Tawfiq Ibrahim, the owner.

She transferred funds to shell companies owned by relatives.

Relatives who don't actually own companies.

I noticed in the bank statements a landline number linked to the sender.

It was Yasmine's number.

Yasmine alone took 300 million pounds.

Equivalent to 37,500,000 dollars back then.

That's 1.8 billion pounds today.

‐ Exactly. ‐ What about the unknown ghost?

He took roughly what everyone else stole combined.

I still don't know who he is.

But I will find out.

And you found all this out by yourself?

There's more info we need to know.

Don't worry.

Good to see you, Mai.

Come in.

‐ Mr. Essam. ‐ Yes.

Colonel Emad Mahjoub, Public Funds Investigation.

Of course, let him in.

‐ Mr. Essam. ‐ Welcome, Colonel.

‐ Thank you. ‐ What a surprise.

That's kind of you. How are you?

Fine, thank God. Have a seat.

Go ahead.

Impressive. I shouldn't envy you.

I heard good things about you.

This is real estate asset management, right?

We pay taxes and declare our income sources.

We follow the law perfectly, thank God.

Thank God, but I'm not here for that.

My visit is about something else entirely.

‐ What is it, Colonel? ‐ You know "Jasmine B," right?

Yasmine El-Nasharty's company?

‐ Correct. ‐ Still working the case?

Unfortunately, no.

But I can't help paying attention to the details…

Do you still have the client list?

I still practice law.

I consider this part of my legal work to some extent.

As for the case, I'm still working on it because the depositors who hired me…

haven't recovered their money yet.

True, you arrested Tawfiq Ibrahim.

But unfortunately…

the money vanished.

I know.

Listen.

I'm not assigned to this case right now.

But if you get any info…

that might help me with the case…

I'd be very grateful if you shared it.

Seems you won't rest until this file is closed.

And it won't close until justice is served.

That's my mission.

Thank you for your time.

‐ It was an honor. ‐ Thank you.

‐ Goodbye. ‐ Goodbye.

Colonel Emad Mahjoub visited me. Public Funds Investigation.

Yes, he was handling the case.

Is everything okay?

He was asking for my name.

Seems he's still interested.

Be careful.

Good news?

I got his name.

It's a shame, Ali. You've changed.

You're not the Ali I used to know.

I thought you'd bring me the full story.

I met someone who worked with the lawyer in charge of the case.

I found out the person investigating…

is named Ziad Saeed.

And I learned of someone else who worked with him at the company…

Does he still work with him?

Yes, and apparently they were in love.

But it won't be stronger than the love we shared.

They visited the lawyer together.

Should I handle it?

No.

Find out who he is. I'll handle it.

Send me his info. Name and address.

Consider it done. Anything else?

I made food. You haven't eaten all day.

Honestly, I didn't notice.

What's on your mind?

The usual.

You know?

If everyone had a heart like yours, life would be paradise.

Thank you, my daughter. God bless you.

You know I worry about you.

Who was that "Ali" you were talking to?

Ali Nosseir.

Even so.

Ali is just hired help…

I can fire him anytime, for no reason.

He's trouble. He could hurt you.

Better to stay away from him.

Why interfere in what doesn't concern you?

Take this food inside.

And don't stick your nose where it doesn't belong. Understood?

Damn this nonsense!

What's wrong?

The moment you start poking around, you'll be exposed.

You can't hide forever.

I want them to know.

What if they watch us and try to hurt you?

Or surprise us somehow?

The trick isn't to avoid surprise.

It's controlling ourselves when we are surprised.

And turning it to our advantage.

"When the enemy makes an unexpected move,

be flexible and don't stand still.

Change your plan and confuse them."

Your son Nader is in prison, Mom. Mai's phone number.

Blood pressure pills at four. Pills at six.

Gas bill due today. Neighbor Souad's birthday today.

Come on, Mom.

Did I pray?

Yes.

Did I eat?

No, dear. I just called you to eat. Come on.

Do you want rice?

I don't feel like it.

You'll lose weight and worry Karim.

Karim and I divorced five years ago.

Really?

I'll write it down and stick it on the fridge so you remember.

I remember. Because of what happened between him and your brother.

Was he released?

Can we talk about something else?

I want to make sure you're okay before I die.

God keep you safe, dear.

Did I pray?

I'm going out, Mom. Do you need anything?

What time is it?

It's one o'clock.

You had breakfast, prayed, and finished all your tasks today.

My number is on the fridge. Call me if you need anything.

God bless you, daughter.

And keep you for me.

Good morning.

Sorry to drop in without an appointment.

But I'd like a word with you.

Who is it, Mai?

It's me, dear.

Welcome.

‐ You… ‐ I'm Yasmine.

‐ Yasmine? ‐ You don't know me.

But Mai knows me well.

Pills at six. Karim and I divorced five years ago.

Your brother…

What do you want?

You know what changed my life the most?

Letting go of love.

I stopped believing in it or waiting for it.

If it happened, I denied it.

If I couldn't, I ran from it.

It allowed me to think clearly.

And make decisions based on logic.

I know you.

Remember when you were Tawfiq's secretary back in the day?

Before Jasser and the new team took over.

Did you think I didn't notice you?

You didn't deal with me.

I think we only met twice.

First when you came to see Tawfiq about the accounts crisis.

And second at the Helwan branch opening.

I never forget.

I'm not like your mother, God help her.

Maybe that's how she handles your brother's mess.

How many years did he get?

‐ Nader got… ‐ Five years.

For writing bad checks.

The total isn't even that huge.

About ten million.

Nine and a half.

I can write you a check right now.

Your brother could be home in a week.

Or I can make his life hell in there.

The choice is clear.

But your silly feelings for Ziad are stopping you.

Right?

His name is Ziad, isn't it?

I don't know what you're talking about.

That's enough.

Let's not play games and repeat ourselves.

I have questions and I expect answers.

And you have problems you want solved.

Or at least you don't want them to get worse.

I sent you a WhatsApp message from my personal number.

Think about it before you reply.

Goodbye.

Yasmine El-Nasharty is the most dangerous.

Our main enemy. If we take her down, mission accomplished.

Yasmine was Tawfiq Ibrahim's wife, like I told you.

She took the biggest cut of the depositors' money.

Any other photos?

She's gorgeous.

A beauty queen.

Are we stealing or flirting?

Want a surprise?

‐ These photos are edited. ‐ Edited?

‐ Yes. ‐ She's practically glowing.

Deal with it.

I just want to clarify for everyone here.

Investigations pinned it all on Tawfiq Ibrahim, the scammer who robbed us.

He is the only one named in the case.

None of these guys were mentioned.

Exactly.

Since our last meeting, I've been looking for a link between them and the case.

I only found talk of Yasmine being a victim of her fraudster husband.

May God avenge us and let him rot in his cell.

So, my main concern…

is that you might be a fraudster yourself.

Using a bunch of idiots and a very smart woman.

Willing to do anything, don't take this the wrong way,

just to get paid and get justice.

Using them to rob innocent people.

Then you bail at the right moment.

Who are the idiots?

You need to be specific. His IQ is extremely high.

I apologized already.

Tawfiq Ibrahim was framed.

His family had to leave their home.

Investigators didn't find a single pound in his accounts.

While the lives of those three turned around completely.

They became top businessmen and investors.

Everything we do will be transparent.

Any money we recover, we split. I won't control it alone.

That's the best guarantee I can offer.

Where do we start?

We get to Yasmine through these two men.

Jasser Radwan and Hashem El-Faham.

Jasser will lead us to Hashem El-Faham.

Hashem will lead us to Yasmine.

And Yasmine will lead us to the mastermind, right?

That's right.

Why don't we start with her then, Boss?

I'm ready to watch her 24/7.

No, because Yasmine is married to Soliman El-Nashar.

Soliman El-Nashar?

Sounds familiar. Is he a businessman?

Biggest arms dealer in the Middle East.

They live in a fortress with constant guards.

Cameras, electrified fences, and dogs.

Her circle is tight and impenetrable.

If we try, we'll be on her turf and likely to lose.

She's married!

Even if she wasn't, did you hope to marry her?

She goes through husbands constantly.

She drains their money, then moves to the next one, usually richer.

Don't worry, you'll have ten million pounds.

You can buy her rings and a car to show off to her friends.

Thank God, your problems are solved and you have a chance.

By the way, Boss. Men make money.

Money doesn't make the man.

From "The Art of Sadness."

Okay. Since we're starting with Jasser Radwan…

What info do we have?

We don't know everything yet.

We need to change that.

JASSER

‐ Good evening. ‐ Good evening, sir.

Sit and finish your food.

Join us, sir.

I'm dieting. Hitting the gym.

I want to go to the Coast, so I need to lose weight.

At your service, sir.

I want your opinion on something.

Go ahead, sir.

If you supported someone…

and pulled him out of the gutter…

and instead of thanking you and being grateful…

he stole from you!

What would you do to him?

You answer me.

Make him regret it.

‐ And you? ‐ Teach him a lesson.

Nice.

And what do you think?

‐ I swear, Mr. Jasser… ‐ I believe you, no need to swear!

I know you don't see it as theft, but as cunning.

A harmless deal. You make a little cash.

But doing it behind my back? Unacceptable.

I hired you after prison when everyone else was afraid of you.

If you needed money, you should have asked.

There were a thousand ways other than this low act.

What did he do, Mr. Jasser?

He called clients who reserved the new model.

Told them we're canceling orders.

Short supply.

Whoever wants a car must pay upfront.

Plus a premium.

Even though the cars have no markup.

And the incoming shipment exceeds the bookings.

And within two hours…

he collected over 20 million pounds in down payments.

And everyone happily agreed.

They'll get their cars on time, sir. No one will notice.

Everyone bought it. Everyone was happy. Except me.

I swear, Mr. Jasser, never again.

Of course, my dear, it won't.

Give the money you're holding to Ghassan.

Yes, sir.

And just so this dirty behavior isn't repeated…

I'll give you something to remember me by.

Take him to the hospital.

‐ Tell him to say he was mugged. ‐ Yes, sir.

Put the money you take from him in the showroom safe.

And talk to Maged.

We're selling with a markup from now on.

If they fell for it once, why not hike the price?

You're right.

What about Mansour and Ali's cars?

Put them in the showroom normally.

But those cars are…

stolen, no papers. Only Shaheen will touch them.

Display them until we move them.

I won't come tomorrow. I'm going to the gym.

This fat is ruining my look.

Not at all!

Stop, son! Don't do that again!

Teach me computers, I'll teach you to pick pockets.

Just learn to shut your mouth.

What's your size, Tamer?

What is it?

I think this fits you.

Try it on.

What's going on?

And you, try this.

What are we doing exactly?

You two are taking our first real mission.

You'll plant bugs and cameras in Jasser Radwan's house.

Can I ask you something…

Can I never go on a mission alone with him? Ever?

What are you doing? Go change in any room.

Sorry, sister. Didn't see you there.

How?

Boss…

Are you sure we'll be okay?

Honestly, he's right. Is it safe?

I'm a mother with a daughter, and I don't want trouble.

Don't worry. Follow my orders, execute precisely…

you'll be safe. And no one will know what we're doing.

This is Safeya.

This is Tamer.

And this is Sayed, the Joker.

Excellent.

I want details on everyone.

Watch them around the clock.

We must move at the right time.

‐ Is that clear? ‐ Clear, sir.

Let's go, son.

Start the feed.
