This is a passport picture we blew it up

We couldn't find anything else

We made it together for the Visa for France

How cruel his face looks in this picture

No, he always looks like that in pictures

the Lebanese airlines

211 to Paris

Kindly, all passengers

head towards...

So, you finished your papers?

Yes, we're done

I wish I could stay with you

Stop, that's enough

But we're going to miss you, When will you follow us?

This is the last call you have to go

Foad had planned to come back with Huda

He wanted to severe ties with everyone

He would have travelled alone with us

Foad was nonchalant he never took anything seriously

Leaving the party messed his life up

Not just the party

nothing was working for him, home, university, Huda

But he had music

Nothing but music

That's true he lived here for a while

Talal and I lived with him

we had the same habits, Foad never cared about anything

And this music how cool, this idiocy, at the end an overdose took his life

That's not true Foad committed suicide

The security situation has deteriorated sharply in the morning

fighting resumed on the lines,

and shells landed at the center of residential neighborhoods

Official sources said that a number of deaths

and wounded were victims of artillery exchanges.

They must have kidnapped someone so someone was kidnapped instead

Honestly, nothing is clear

They must find his son. otherwise, this young man you just saw

You'll read about him in the news

new action with political movements

Damn you and them

it's the same thing everyday Worse than before

Where are you coming from?

The airport

Go ahead

Kamal, how are you?

Hello, Talal come in for some tea

It must be on tonight What's wrong?

They are all alerted tonight

No, stay with him

Thurayya? You're late, dear where were you?

You made me worried. They were saying on the radio that the situation is really bad

No, there's nothing there

Did they leave in peace?

I passed by Foad's parents

God help them poor folk

Did you get me batteries?

I forgot

it's ok, I'll get them tomorrow

Did you hear that?

He's crying again

I hear him every night

No, I can't hear

Didn't he overdose and kill himself?

I'm sure he was aware of that

Foad wasn't living he was always acting

In the end he chose this death

You know, sometimes I envy him

Do you still want us to travel?

My hair is thinning out

Do you think I'm older?

Did you see Foad's picture?

It's unbelievable how defiant his eyes are

And when? When he was shattered, defeated

I'm so pissed off

I don't know, I'm so pissed off

Talal? Are you sure we're getting each other

It's about time you figure out what you want

When Foad left Huda you felt odd

And you thought about doing the same, didn't you?

Sometimes I feel you don't love me

I"m blabbering

Now can you tell me where you planning on travelling?

Do you still want us to?

You know my situation and you know this war means nothing to me

Thurayya, I have nothing to do with this

But at the same time I don't want to be on the outside

We can't be outside this war

I don't want anything I just want to be with you

Ghazi, how are you?

Hi, Thurayya is Talal here?

Yes, why?

The guys are asking about him excuse us but it's urgent

Your mother needs you.

The guys came to our place early at the crack of dawn

Good morning, friend

Hello what is it? Ok, I'm coming

Hurry up I'll call you later

They're here! They're here they have arrived

Call Rifa'at

Hello, Hani, sir I'm being patient but hear me out

Much bigger than that. No, I can't wait anymore

You know that the kidnapping of the Beik shakes the country up

The place is upside down

No, no, there's not much time

He either steps away from this or he lets me handle it

Honestly! He's been missing for 48 hours and nothing has turned up

No, no, don't say that

Alright Yes, I have no doubt, I have no doubt at all

Yes, Yes That's my opinion as well One moment

Welcome, Talal Beik

Salim!

Talal Beik Welcome

Don"t worry

Yes, but it's been over 4 days, Joyce

Take time into consideration it happens all the time

Definitely tomorrow, don't forget

I took an appointment for you

Rafeek, let's stay serious there's a sniper,

A sniper?A sniper? I'll show you if there's a shiper

I'll show you if there's a sniper

I don't feel like we got the shot

I know, I know we need some people on the street

Joyce, Joyce, can we have some people on the street

You humiliated us in front of them

He went out in a zigzag back and forth what's wrong with you?

Seriously, there are snipers

How's Abou El Nobol, the boss of you all

He's asking how many of you are there at the center

I can't answer him those are military secrets

He said these are military secrets

How was the attack?

As soon as it got dark...

Wait a minute

Can we talk to them about the political context of the war?

Did they understand that our war is diplomatic?

Oh come on, do you they're here to hear that?

How about you give an application and enlist them in the party?

Damn whoever put you in those positions

Miss, would you please translate?

Friend, these people want action. Action!

Abou Fersheyeh, carry on

We came up with a plan to attack from sea...

Hold up, you

Friend, does this happen when you place a weapon in undisciplined hands

Oh my, with the undisciplined members

Are you in a hurry 'gevara, sir? Are you freeing Angola?

Hold still already

Brother, raise this up a bit. Remove it! Picture!

Hello, Abou El Nobol

Hey, Samir what's up today?

Take care of this, will you?

What is this crap?

They didn't even make this during the world war

You can sell if for 50 LL

I wouldn't buy it for scrap

Then another would

Good riddance

Hello, Abou El Nobol it's been a while

How come on you're not around?

I'm around, you know

Where?

Enough of this

So what? Are you fighting?

We're your pupils, Abou El Shouk

Enough of this already Nabil, an eye for an eye

As you wish, you're our boss you know?

Come here Friend

So, Abou El Nobol, not tough enough anymore?

I'm getting used to it

Did you get the money?

Come on, Sami!

Bastard!

Where is he? Sami, where is he?

He's on ground under the wheels

Where you even able to wait for anyone?

What wheels? You just cost me 100 LL You ruined it

100 LL or a million we're screwed

What am I going to about Shawki now?

What am I going to about Shawki now?

Perfect! You're going to get us hurt

Careful with Hassan

My eyes!

My eyes!

He needs a doctor fast!

Call the doctor! You shut up!

Calm down Doctor, give him a shot

Do something before I bring this hospital down on you

Hassan, one moment, he was shot on the front

My eyes, Hassan, friend, calm down

Give him something anything, give him anything

Kamal? Bomb

I'll blow everything up

Kamal? What crappy stuff is this?

Calm down, calm yourself down

It happens your father travelled?

Yesterday

You can come whenever you want

In 2 days' time maximum a week

Something will turn up either this or that Don't worry

Shouldn't I prepare anything?

Tell me, why did you stay in Beirut?

University

I hope he gets well soon

Hey, what are you doing here?

Are you okay?

You don't recognize me?

You, from that time with the TV. Well, hello, hello

She was with us at the front you'd like her

So...

Oh nothing, it's just

one of the guys got shot A break in with guns

Is it serious?

4 or 5 shots to the head he should be out in a couple of days

Were you at the front as well?

1 go around one hell of a job

We went with the guys

asked if the area was clear

They said it was

But as soon as we got there

it was as if hell greeted us

You don't know who's friend And who's foe

And then it clashed

Hassan got shot

everyone left him

They fled no one picked him up

What will I tell his mother?

But he was lucky enough I was there and I picked him up well, Sami and I

Everyone else fights on one front we fight on all

All snipers have messed with us

But no killed or wounded that we hadn't done in

Your name is Nabil, isn't it?

Abou El Nobol, Miss...?

Talal's dad

She's a really cute girl

I never talked to her much when she used to be with that Phillip

Whatever happened to him?

He left after the first round?

So what if he did? Are the ones staying heroes?

I'm not a hero but

I know I'm staying

Why you ask? I don't know

Why are you staying?

Now you ask me that?

What is this?

Talal got it last week

Talal?

Fine then, don't work

Unbelievable

Leave me alone

I've told them a hundred times not to come in this room without me

Ziad? Who had foul on the table?

Foul? Seriously? Foul?

How am I supposed to work now?

Leave me alone I'm not opening up nothing is done I've ruined two films already

Buzz off!! How am I supposed to work now?

Nabil?

Oh hello, that was you? Come in, come in

You should have said it was you Oh no, the pictures

Is everything ruined?

See, it's ruined

See why I'm upset

I can't work properly

Everything is on my shoulders

and now what? They all want the pictures

and they're all being demanding

Can you imagine, Abou EIl Nobol

Are All those martyrs?

Martyrs? If so may are dead

the war would have been over already

Oh come on Not enough people are dying?

Yes, but...look Fake, fake

So they can all flaunt to their girlfriends and parents and relatives

And me? Who cares about me?

I can't concentrate I can't make time for artistic photography

See this? See this road

4 snipers are blocking it

when I wanted to take it

I jumped here, they hit me some more

Then they hit me

with an anerga there

If I hadn't been careful

I would have been a martyr

You would have seen my pictures on the walls

By the way, I have a picture for you

That's beautiful it's amazing I took it when you were on the front

Oh come on What have you done? Oh man it's amazing, even when torn

Nabil? If I asked you for a favor would you decline?

Whatever you want.

I want to go to the Bikaa'

The Bikaa'? Even God won't take you there

All roads are blocked don't you live here?

Let it go, get it out of your head

What's wrong?

Okay, I'll try

We'll make it work

Don't you worry

Anything for you just smile

Let me just sent the pictures to the newspaper

What's going on?

Security measures

We would have been hit Is this your house? Or are we visiting someone?

This is the house of the youth. Everyone's house

I don't get it

This house is under our protection

What's up guys

Hello Brother

Chawki's men follow me up till here

Hello, Kamal.

Good?

He'll handle the trip for you

Brother, I'll take you to the first pit stop

this is a favor your brother Nabil I won't forget this

Also, this is personal so take care of her

You're welcome, Abou El Nobol

Everything is taken care of don't you worry

Be careful

How was that?

Excellent you're learning fast

How did you get here?

I missed you so much, Talal

Me too, Who did you come with?

Don't let go of my hand

Come, let me introduce you to Salim

Before Salim, tell me what happened

See where I was and where I am now

Can you imagine me among these people?

Yesterday it was Foad today it's my father

Talal, I don't know what to say

It's like I moved 10 years backwards

You haven't been here in a while

Yes, it's been a while

It's a good thing Salim is here

He's smart and friendly

He's different than the others

he's the only one who thinks

But I don't understand,

what's going to happen to your dad?

If he was kidnapped in Beirut

why don't you look for him there?

No, they key is here

Salim thinks so too

He should search

It's funny how Salim sometimes reminds me of Foad

You know? I had a dream about Foad last night

What are you thinking?

About you, about myself

I don't know everything is messed up

Talal, what are you going to do?

Talal, what is this?

You carry a gun now?

Since when do you carry a gun?

Talal, I want to talk to you

If you're too bold with me have some decency among people

Shame on you, what will people say about us?

You don't care about anything

Your father is kidnapped

you have someone over

Who is that person?

A friend from university

Furthermore, my private life is my business

Keep your private life to yourself

But now your father is the issue

A lot of people are involved

What have you done so far?

You're using a weapon like troublemakers

Do you think a weapon will bring your father back?

Talal, grow up already forget about Beirut and its rotten atmosphere

You still talk to me like a child

You still don't understand that my life is one thing and yours is another

I have nothing to do with this mentality

In Beirut I'm away from this retarded mentality

Nothing spoiled you but Beirut

In Beirut I live as I please that's enough for me

Look where this lifestyle

got you where it got us

Look at yourself

nothing matters to you

You know nothing of responsibility

No kids have been pampered as you have

And this is the result of that

Be it you or your sister, Nayla

No one cares about anything

She's been away for a year

never called or written us once

Only God knows where she is

Mother, look at me

I'm one thing Nayla is another

I love and respect you a lot but I can't be like you

I don't even want my life to be like yours

Salim, what is it?

A young man is asking for Mr. Talal, Abou Jaafar is on the line

This region has been corrupted by political parties

It is important that it units

Even arms must be used we must unite it

Now the circumstances are right

Moreover, Talal is unique

He can change things he can improve things

What did you think?

People have suffered and sacrificed

now they need a savior

But most importantly , Talal doesn't have this feudal mentality

Do you think Talal can get used to this?

To understand people and their mentality?

Of course, it's necessary he is a child of this region

What about his dad?

He'll be back we'll find him

When Talal's dad comes back...

Stop worrying about Talal Abou Jaafar scheduled an appointment for tomorrow

I spoke to him as you asked

Are you sure you don't require company back to Beirut?

By the way, who did you come with?

With some guys from Beirut

It was Ghazi who fixed it up for you, no?

How's Ghazi?

Same as he was

I miss him

I wish he'd come see me

I wish you could stay here

Your mother is tough

I know different mentality

Thurayya, after some time it'll all be over

I'm exhausted from filming today

But everything was so great

I wish you were with us

I saw Talal today

You went up there?

How is he? What's the story with his dad?

Nothing is new he's still not found

Did you tell him anything?

I didn't dare

I want to make sure first

and be done with this

You never thought that maybe...

Thurayya?

Can you shout?

It's true it's my turf

but I honestly have no information

And I learned

about this

like everybody else did

Don't be humble Abou Jaafar

After all the calls made

only you can help us

Listen, Mr. Talal

It's true your father and I had our political differences

And each of us had his ways

I was always against him during elections

But all that's between us is respect and admiration

We've let go of those days I'm not talking about the past

What's important is how you can help us now

In the prologue of the conversation you mentioned money

This is not you

we are men of principle and we're fighting for a cause

Then again, I'm not afraid of anyone I only fear God

I'm not here to argue, I'm here

to have you face your responsibilities

Your father is gone

how do I get him back?

So you know he's dead

I know nothing

He's been kidnapped a while now

Has anyone been kidnapped and returned a month later?

The country is small

If not today tomorrow and if not that then the day after tomorrow

Everything will be known

Are you here to threaten me or to gather information?

I've been very patient

this is not something I like hearing

There will not always be war and confusion, Abou Jaafar

Go look for your father

If, God forbid, you were unsuccessful

Consider your father a martyr

This is an honor for our region

Your father will be our martyr

It's still too early for such talk

even if we have to dig him up

Nice, Abou El Zouz

Oh, hello, sweet thing

Hello

This is the pill it's time for your pill

I don't want any more pills

Go, Kamal nice

Enough already s this a hospital or a club?

Calm down the guys are bored

Life is boring

She'll tell on us

Guys, I'm really bored

let's do something fun

Stay, guys,

it's still early

Come guys let's get going

Let's leave it isn't fun here Sami, get Hassan

Come on

Watch out

Roadblock

Where are you going? Why are you speeding?

We have injured

we're going to the hospital

Please, for God's sake let's go, hurry

Thanks

Hello, pal It's slow today

Yeah, What is that outside?

The sign? That's a political statement

Change it someday or they'll shut you down

Leave me alone, would you I'm not a military base

Also, I'm not making a statement

take the sign I'm getting the visa tomorrow

1l take it

Hello, boss

What's going on?

It's fine get ready in a few days

what is needed a couple of nice songs you know, bar atmosphere

Where do you guys live?

People are bored they like songs, like... something exciting

Political songs we're at war

Come on, Nabil

Enough wrapping your fingers are numb

Isn't that right, Kamal?

Hello? Yes, one moment it's for you

Hello? Thurayya? Hello, yes, it's Nabil

As usual, party missions

What? No, no, no I'll come to you

You can't, you can't

Do you know where you're calling me now?

Didn't they tell you at the newspaper?

I'm at the front

Yes at the front Can't you hear?

Can you hear that? Yes, the fight is on

No, no, don't worry don't worry

anything you need I'll finish up and I'll be there, as you wish

Finish up, finish up

Yeah, that's it all for strife calm down talk to me

Shawki, talk to me Shoot me,

I dare you, shoot, stay away, you shoot. Get your hands off

Nabil, calm down Nabil Nabil, calm down Nabil

You are I are involved I don't want outsiders

I'll chop your head off

You lost them, you say?

You'll bring me their price or I take your life

You have 10 days

Not this upcoming Saturday the one after that at 12 sharp

You'll come here with the money Or I'll dig you from the ground

Seriously, 5,000 sniffs what did you do with them?

Those would have satisfied Beirut for a month

Is Thurayya here?

Thurayya?

What is it?

I prefer if you hide your car because there might be some shooting in the region tonight

Yes, okay

Thurayya? There is no more milk in the fridge

Can you get some on your way back?

Are you going to the front?

I wish I'm an only child If my mother were to know about this she'd go crazy

Hello want to try some?

Thurayya, I love you, I love you

It is very strange here

Having hard time to know who is fighting who

Left against the right, right against the left

Christians, Muslims, Lebanese, Palestinians

It is really a very crazy war

what are you interested in covering

You know, bombings, snipers, kidnappings,

things like that

what about the people

Thurayya? Talal wants to talk to you

Yes, why not

tell me how come the media is not interested in people

and just in battles?

Don't you think it is depressing over here?

Talal, Joice is leaving okay, she's leaving

You, what did you do?

Is there anything new?

I have to find my father I have to

Give me more time

Talal... What about me?

Thurayya, I love you, I love you Can you hear me?

How are you? Good, Where am 1? Where are you?

Thurayya, look at me

I don't want to go and leave you alone, I want to take you with me

I'm going to miss you come with me

Why can't you?

What? I can't hear you

You're crazy, crazy

What's up with Talal? What's he doing up there?

He wants me to go there even God won't take me there

Also, who's this Salim?

Isn't he a bit young?

He's of the fiercest fighters you'd like him

How old is he?

15 years

Are you tough?

We all are for the sake of our boss

In Beirut, my friends don't understand me

Maybe it's difficult to understand what I'm going through

Beirut is far

I don't know

but it all happened too fast

It seems you miss Beirut

Do you think my dad is still alive?

Hello, Abou Rabih

Hey guys

They lost all their positions

Abou Jaafar's defeat is soon

Let's see if he's willing to cooperate now or not

That is if he really does have something to do with the kidnapping

Anyway, we cleared the region, something that needed to be done

Where are you going?

Where are they taking you?

Are you crazy? What are you doing to us?

You've ruined the region

You haven't even been here a month you've already orphaned 5 families

You've ruined all the calls I made

We have nothing to do with all these problems

Your father is kidnapped we have to find him

These rotten acts hurt, not help

If somebody meant to break this home

They wouldn't do what you're doing

You're behind the breakdown of this home

Not a day goes by you don't cause animosity

You plagued everyone

with politics and elections

You still want to take control ,this old mentality

notability killed you

My father is gone, dead, enough

Don't you dare your father is kidnapped not dead

Get this out of your head cold hearted child

You never loved your father, never loved me

Pity, the wasted efforts

Your father is kidnapped not dead and you will get him back

How nice it would be to see your face at my door

Years have gone by

Abou El Ezz, I mean it I'm telling you the truth

What does it matter? Who will believe you?

Where've you been? Haven't sold a gram?

I don't know what's in the barrel

maybe biscuits or sand, I don't know

Nabil,stop the jokes

you lost him a 100,000 LL

Many customers are accusing him of lying

100,000 LL? If I had 100,000 LL would I be here?

Tell him, Abou El Ezz only you can clear me

Seriously, Nabil if they were mine, you can have them

Also, nowadays my relationship with Sahwki is not so great

Have some mercy it's a disaster

I'm sick of this country

I'm leaving waiting for the visa

Either today or after today I take the visa and leave to Canada

In Canada I focus on the language then off to the U.S. Oklahoma, Michigan, Huston, Texas

Wherever you want

no one asks about you I'll find some girl marry her

2 months of love, man Green Card,

And that's it

Hello? Hello?

What's on my mind?

What I want more

Ask me why

Why?

I'm in love

I'm in love with the most important girl in the country

She's amazing

what's going to happen?

Is she in love with you?

She has nothing to do with anything

she has nothing to with all this crap

Thurraya is not yours let her go

Not mine?

Come on, she'll never love you

you're not meant for each other

Apparently I'm garbage

Sami? Am I garbage?

We're all garbage

We're all garbage Yes, we are garbage

I want to get out of this crap I want it to be over

Hey, Sami, you're disgusting

Hey, Kamal, you're disgusting and Abou Ell Ezz over there, trash

You hear me? You're disgusting. Calm down, Nabil

Run, Nabil, Run

Who is it?

Open up, open

Close the door close it

Nabil, your ear

They want to kill me, They want to kill me

Thurayya? They want to kill me they're after me

Give me some alcohol or Arak anything you might have

Nabil, what happened?

They sneaked up on us it was a suicidal attempt against me

All against me they were 5 or 6

I would have been a goner they close in on me from all sides

I jumped off the balcony, 3 floors, I ran and ran

Someone hit me with an Anerga

They want to kill me hide me anywhere.

Go look, go look is there anyone down there?

There's no one

did you close the door well?

It's well locked?

Yes.

I"m sure they're in the building

What did you do? What do they want from you?

It's complicated

It's a political disagreement

Move your hand away

I don't know they want to kill me

It's my fault I'm an idiot

Who goes to such a bar and doesn't take protection?

What bar? I don't understand you

Me neither

I thought my time trial was not over he said 10 days

Why is he in such a hurry?

Also, if the idiot kills me there will be no money

Let him kill me I'd be at peace

Then again, where am I going to get him that amount of money?

Also, if he knows that the barrel...

I'm sure he'll go crazy

Nabil, you should sleep I'm going to get you apill

Are you sure there's nothing in it? Yes

Hello? Thurayya?

Oh, excuse me the lines are not connecting properly

Let's try to pass by

What about now? Can we pass?

Even if you were the son of God No means no

We're going down. Oh it seems those people passed

Brother, the roads are open for fighters not for you

Couldn't you see it was a military car?

I have to go to the newspaper

You can't go out now

can't you hear the shooting?

I gave you a strong pill

you have to wait for the effect

No I have to go

I'm sure they're looking for me they want the pictures

What pictures this time of night

You may be right

Do you need anything?

No, I'm fine

Nabil, go back to sleep

Nabil stop being silly

Armed people have, today noon, kidnapped 4 citizens

the situation is getting harder

There's friction in the atmosphere...

many kidnappings...whose identities are yet to be known

Talal? What brings you here this time of night?

So I should kiss your hand to have you come see me?

Friendship is nice

A friend in need is a friend indeed

Come on, Talal don't add to my stress, I'm beat

All this because Joyce left you?

Why are you talking to me like this? Why so hurtful?

Look at yourself all you need is a drink

What's with you, Talal? What's with the lectures?

Pack your things you're coming with me

I don"t want to I don't feel like it

You have your problems I have mine Leave me be

There's been some progress in my absence

Politics suit you what was

the name of the party?

It's a long story

That's why you're not coming

my way is there any animosity?

Did I ask what you do?

I want you to ask, I'm asking it from you

You're my friend you stay with me, not leave me

Come on, come on why don't you shoot me?

I've had enough of all of you , Kamal and Jihad

You don't live you act, lie to yourselves and people

You know what you are?

You come from proper families

and everyone else is an an

You move everything how you please

Talal, I am not one of your pack

I"m your friend and that's something you never understood

You know what I'm going to do?

I'm going to go fight

Yes, I'll go fight with unfortunate people, idiots

Who have something to lose in this world

Leave me

Mitch Dubener reporting from Beirut

No, no I didn't like it, I will start again

Mitch Dubener reporting from Beirut

In two minutes this man is going to die

unless he could be exchanged with a kidnap from the other side

Talk

This person is kidnapped 3 days ago my brother was kidnapped

We will only let him go if they let my brother go otherwise we Kill him

what did he said?

Can you translate

Miss please we are filming could you please translate

ok cut, cut this is not good

The final decision is yours

I prefer you make it as soon as possible

Because the more you wait the more difficult it becomes

Anyway it doesn't need hospitalization

you rest afterwards for a couple of hours

Then you go home

Thyrayya?

Maria?

There's no hope he has no chance

A bullet to the head how will they save him?

How will they save him? I don't know

They say it'll last for years

unless the higher ups come to agreements

He's saying there's definitely a conspiracy, you hear?

He said they might come to an agreement

I hope they do and we get out of this mess

Which channel are you listening to?

A channel from here from Lebanon

This young man is a smooth talker

Did you know that de Gaulle came to Mafraa' Shehade for a while?

He can't leave us

The French will have an uproar

when they hear about this

Only the Senegal can calm this down

What do think, dear?

Did you know that it took only one to close up the Square Tower?

But de Gaulle died a long time ago

What are you saying?

But I was listening to the radio all day, I didn't hear that

I'm telling you he's been dead a long time

Rest in peace de Gaulle

I hope his son is doing well

Do you remember me when I was a kid?

When they used to get you chocolate

you'd hide them with me then eat your sister's

Same with toys

You'd break your sister's toys then lose your own

Oh man, was I that annoying?

No, you were just pampered

Your dad got you everything you wanted

Your mother had another miscarriage

They were afraid they wouldn't have kids

When you came along they wished for the best

Your mother suffered bearing you

Thurayya? Thurayya?

We're going to the front tonight, tonight, you need anything?

This is our bed

Hello Hello?

I think Sami couldn't tell you we were coming in today

My husband and I thank you for taking care of our house

In the end you're only comfortable in your own home

We spent our time from one place to another We're exhausted

This is the man who was keeping our house safe

Stay and have some coffee with us

Mr. Nabil, we thank you

No, there's no need

There's been some progress, yes?

Nice adaptation!

What it is tonight single or couple?

We haven't closed yet

You promised me a cassette

There's a cassette but I don't like it

Bad, bad, bad we can't put these in the newspaper

What do you understand about pictures?

It doesn't get better than this

Fine then, get someone else

Also, put a fan in that room I'm suffocating

This is a camera? This is a machine?

This is a sowing machine

By the way, there's a set of steel couches,

a catch 1,100

No, no

Listen, maybe you can speak to the boss

there's an American guy whose camera we can get for 200

You are crap even on your best days

What did you do?

He's dead

What the hell did you do?

Go down

What did you do?

Why the hell did you fire?

His gun got loose

Is he dead? Nabil?

No, Idiots, idiots

It's impossible Do you know what you're asking of me?

You think I can be this swayed? It's impossible

Talal is in a different world how long have you not seen him?

A while, isn't it so? I doubt he'd go through with such a project

Talal feels that he's done what he needs to do

I don't know if I can handle such a responsibility

Salim, so far I've done what he's asked of me

I stayed aside and minded my own business.

But today, new things are happening in my life

And time is passing I can't keep waiting for him

Till when? Moreover, there's me, me, me

I can't promise you anything, I'll try calling you again

The roads are getting more difficult to pass

You're kicking me out of my house, eh?

This isn't your house when have you been here?

When have we seen your face? Are you better than your father?

I know whose doings these are Tell your husband, if he's man enough

to come talk to me himself It's my fault for letting him into this house

It's my fault I gave him a job at the printing company

He's right who can stand you?

You've always shamed us and that's not just me talking we all think so

Talk, tell him what you think

They're after me they want to kill me, hide me for a few days

they're looking for me, If I leave here, I die

You won't be in this house for a second

You liar, you hypocrite, go do your dirty deeds, with people like you

I"m more honorable than both you and your husband

I'll snap both your necks

Let me go! You bastard!

I'll beat the hell out of you, you'll see

May God never have mercy on you I pray to God you'd die

Let me go, let me go, Sami

Calm down you'll stop by Thurayya on your way we're going by car she wants to see you

Thurayya?

Thurayya, they tried to kill me again

Once again? Where? Why?

They killed someone by accident they thought it was me

I'm sure it's political you're too involved in politics, Nabil

Can't you be less involved?

You're digging your own grave

Nabil, you have to help me

Is that why you came to me?

I need you, and it's very important

it's about me, you can't say no

speak

I know you can help me You're the only one who can

It's only child's play to you

What is it?

We have to kidnap a man

Are you crazy?

Child's play? This is a military operation

Calm down, I'll explain

You should know that Talal comes against such things

I'll tell you more Talal has stopped looking for his father

If weren't for morals and values and Talal's mom

You would have seen the Beik's pictures on the walls

Initiative is very important

If the Beik is still alive

The man I'm about to point out to you Is a perfect target

He's well known and renowned enough to match the Beik

Careful, that's him

Are you sure of the people you are dealing with?

Yes, yes, yes I've known them for a while they're tough

But be careful, I won't be with you

If it goes bad, it'd be a disaster are you afraid?

What if we don't find him? What if he's really dead?

Then he'll want revenge

Who from?

Anyone, What would it matter?

Maher!

Maher come back here

I'll get you some bonbons, Maher for God's sake come back

Maher , Maher come back

Ghassan, did you have to bring your brother?

Who should I leave him with at home?

Who'd wait for him? Would you?

Maher!

Nabil, go No shooting, Let him go!

Get in next to him, Get in next to him, Get in next to him

Go in, Kamal, Go in, guys

What's going on? Nothing is happening calm down

Roadblock it's roadblock

Watch out for the roadblock

Go back, folks

calm down

Don't worry I got it under control

Thurayya? I want to go home

Watch out

No, Kamal

That's it Thurayya? I know this place

Can you turn on the lights?

Sami? There's music try the music

I can't take it anymore I want to see

Leave me alone I want to see

Calm down enough, I can't take it anymore hold on, I'll take you to a doctor, calm down

I can't see anything everything is blurry

No No, I can't believe it

Hassan, it's ok calm down now, it's ok

Enough, Hassan, my eyes, no, no

Nayla! When did you get back?

I was in Rome, I got Talal's telegram

Go change out of the black, hurry I don't want to see any black In this house

Why the black? for who?

You've been a way for a year

You're here to help your bother with a funeral?

I don't understand what happened?

Nayla, I know you enough with the act

Go take off the black you didn't need all this makeup

Please, mom let's not play the same tune

You won't be teaching me how to dress, or walk, or talk how to live

You never understood me, you never tried to

You never understood my relationship with my father

I don't understand, long ago, he didn't understand what was in your head either

It's my fault

what did I come here for?

Why did you bring me here?

Why did you send for me?

Talal, Where's Talal?

What happened to this house?

What's wrong? Tell me

Why is it so dark? Why is everything closed up?

Talal? Where have you been?

Here, I haven't been out of this room in years

Talal, tell me make me understand is my father dead or not?

What have you done with this house?

I don't understand anything

Calm down I'll tell you everything

What's wrong with her? Why is she so angry?

Why is the house empty? Talal? Are you sure that...

Nayla, We'll talk

You have to leave here don"t stay, don't stay here, leave

Thurayya is really cool

But first you have to figure out how you're going to deal With Shawki and his gang

Let's be done with the man we havet,

All of Lebanon is looking for him

We want him to fix our problem with Shawki

I don't understand what you mean?

We trade the man for a few liras

We give them to Shawki and be done with it

What about the Beik?

What do we care about the Beik?

If you don't care, then I do

We promised Thurayya

Poor you are you sure you'll find him?

They must have wasted him long ago

I promised Thurayya, I can't

Qur lives are on the line

They give us the money we give them the man

Money is the most important thing

Shawki is willing to take us all out

Don't forget that his deal expires tomorrow noon

Noon is the last chance and he wants his money

Down to the last coin and you're flat out broke

This wall, just as it is I want the grave here

Beik Talal, your mother is here

What are you doing here?

Have you no pity?

Based on what, you took your decision?

What proves your father is dead?

If you know tell me you have any proof? No, you have no right

You're doing us wrong, Talal

Your father is kidnapped and we'll find him

Talal, why are you doing this to yourself?

You've been on my case for so long

This is where you belong this is where you reign; you're the man of the house

you'll hold the family name up high

Here I am what do you want me to do?

I want you to come back to your senses and stop these charades

Leadership is not trouble and mischief

I want you not to lose hope

And continue looking for your father

I'm sure he's still alive

What? Do we leave him? Do we dig his grave?

If he comes back what do we say to him? Dig, Dig!

Let's see who you'll put in there, Talal, Talal, Talal

I know how to preserve the family honor and traditions

I know how to take revenge

My father is dead enough delusions,

you're crazy

Thurayya wants to see you

I've missed you so much

This is the most I've missed you and thought of you

Me too, but I have to tell you, there's something very new and important in Beirut

Any news from Ghazi?

No, I haven't seen him a while

let me tell you, there's hope you'll find your father

My father?

In 2 days, everything will turn up

How is this any of your business?

I told you to stay out of it

But there are people in Beirut who promised me

My father is dead that's it, he's dead

Why don't you get it?

Let me explain

Thurayya, understand me If you don't, who will?

I can't spend my life looking for a dead person like one following his own shadow

My father is dead he's dead, that's it

Your father is still alive we'll find him and bring him back

Get this out of your head

We've sent word of his dead to everyone in the village and we've set the funeral

See where we are and where you still are?

Forget it, Forget it

I can't forget because I know the outcome

Talal, I'm pregnant

Liar, It's not true

You don't love me, you don't love me

Where are they? Where did they go?

What did you with the man?

Where did you take him?

Hassan, the appointment is not today it's tomorrow at 5

Nabil told me it's at 5 , where did they go?

I swear by Thurayya everything is gone

Where are you going, sister? It's military grounds here

What's with this crazy person? Unbelievable, what is this day?

Leave her alone Leave her

What happened? What did you do? Where's Nabil?

Come close, come, bring him, come, Sami s

stay near me, come easy, you guys, easy

Nabil, enough, stop it

Leave him, come closer, come closer, stop!

Nabil!

Ghassan, come closer

Get him down! Watch out for him

Watch out for him

Come on, guys get up, those bastards

Watch out, Ghassan, get him closer

Nabil, qu'est-ce que je fais?!

Come here

Nabil!

Nabil,

Nabil, they're shooting, let's bail

Ghassan! what are you doing?

Ghassan! Ghassan!

Sami! Kamal! Sami? Sami? Sami, don't die!

Thurayya, please help me out I have nothing to do with this you used me

Thurayya, I have nothing to do with this

Thurayya help me, please Thurayya, you used me

Thurayya, I love you

She lost a lot of blood

Internal bleeding it needs time

Is it still dangerous?

It's our fault, we didn't believe her

No one believed she was pregnant

We all thought she was making up a story

No, she was serious

What's wrong with her? How is she?

They didn't let me in I want to see her

Calm down, Talal, you can't see her I'll explain

You forgot I'm going to KSA. Yes, yes, from the airport

What do you want me to do by staying?

Talal doesn't need me I'm useless

I thought it would be different with him

I don't know what happened

Thurayya, Talal doesn't care about his father anymore

He's looking for something else

Yes, I have a cousin in Riyadh

Yes and some people in Dammam

Travelers are kindly asked to head towards gate number 5

As the security situation continues to get worse in Beirut

after the failure of the twenty-fifth cease-fire since

the beginning of the previous wave of violence, and after 25,000 dead

and 60,000 wounded, the people watching our drama

saw conflict of another kind ..

We have to leave. It's time for us to go

“The heroic martyr Raja Yaghi”

This is from Thurayya

Nabil, do you want anything?

I don't want to see you here go, go

Get out of here, go

the hero martyr Nabil Srour

Will they wait for us?

I called them today

to the airport, to the airport

Soraya!
