Original subtitles

I don't make up these things.

Jabal was married to Somaya for four years. She was never pregnant.

I've been married to her for almost a year,

and I'm expecting a boy soon.

What do you want with this? This is nonsense.

Mind your business and your family instead.

These aren't the guys you want to get in trouble with. Let it go, man!

Do you want your son to be born an orphan?

What is it, man? Did they ask you to deliver a message?

Yeah, but not directly.

And you took it upon yourself to deliver that message.

This is not like you, Abu Ahmad.

I swear I'll leave and never see you again.

Cut the crap, man, and stay.

Can you tell me how many friends do you still have?

Listen, man, this is who I am. I don't care how people see me.

Just tell me not to come here. Would that suit you?

Say it, man. Get it over with!

What's that?

Stay away.

Here's your message.

Instead of watching, somebody get an extinguisher!

Come on!

Can you talk?

Yes, Naim.

What's going on? I'm worried about you.

I've met the guys. They gave me information on Jabal.

And?

My suspicions were right.

I'm sure Jabal is the biggest drug dealer and arms smuggler in the region.

Was Adel involved in this?

They know nothing about Adel.

Apparently, Adel kept himself away from all this.

I'll continue the evening with these people.

I may come back late. I just chose to call you before I leave.

I'm leaving ASAP. You'd better make your mind.

I don't know what to do, Naim. What choices do I have?

Oh, my god, such a bad information.

Well, I can't talk any longer. I'll call you later.

Lady Nahed had a bowl of soup, and she took her medicine.

Keep watching her.

You got that.

Mom shouldn't stay in the room.

Let her be. She'll go out when she wants to.

What's that sound?

It's a motorcycle's tank. It exploded in the town.

Anybody got hurt?

None. Thank God.

It was loud.

It's nighttime, and sounds echo at night.

How is Naim doing? I hope he's fine.

He's good.

He called me asking about the flight, if he should wait for me or just take it.

My vacation leave is over.

I don't exactly know what your work is.

Mom works at a supermarket.

Joe, leave the iPad and finish your meal. And let your mom answer for herself.

Did you hear me?

Joe, I'm talking to you.

I'll turn the volume down.

I said leave the iPad now.

Go to your room.

I won't say it again. Move!

Boy, do what your mom said and go.

I'm sorry, that was loud.

He's been disrespectful and been behaving badly recently.

He's just a kid who likes to play.

But he can't play all the time.

It's almost school time, and he hasn't started studying yet.

All he cares about is to give you a correct answer,

so you'll let him hold your gun.

When I was at the same age, I used to shoot a gun.

At his age, you should have been studying.

It's okay. Sakher has been a lame joker recently.

No more jokes from me.

You really thought I'd let him have the gun.

He needs to practice a lot.

Anyway, I'll get him some newspapers and comics tomorrow.

He'll enjoy them more than the iPad.

Thanks for the meal.

Somebody please tell Sakher that this is wrong.

My son is still a child.

He's definitely joking. He knows very well that guns aren't meant for children.

What did you really do at the supermarket?

I don't work at the supermarket.

It's a famous firm in Toronto.

I like it there.

But it seems like I'm going to get fired.

My vacation is over. I neither called nor traveled.

I think I should get to Beirut tomorrow.

Can't you just call them from here?

I'm going to Beirut.

Tomorrow.

How long will you stay there?

I don't know, two, maybe three days. I'm not sure.

I'm taking Joe with me. He needs to go out.

Well, we'll see about that.

We'll arrange for some car to pick you up.

And we'll see if the boy is going with you or not.

No, it wasn't fireworks at all. We're not joking around here.

You bet, it was a Molotov cocktail.

It was a clear shot.

No, I didn't speak to him yet.

Hey, Chahine, there's too much noise. I can't hear you.

We'll talk later.

Take care.

Bye.

So, "it's nighttime, and sounds echo at night."

Maybe he overfilled the tank.

May our father's soul rest in peace.

He used to tell me,

if a member of Sheikh Al-Jabal's family pulls the trigger,

he must shoot to kill. Or else he doesn't belong to Sheikh Al-Jabal's.

God rest his soul.

But I didn't pull the trigger. I was just delivering a message.

Two days ago, you've just had Mansour mutilated.

Mansour was a traitor.

I wanted him to be an example.

The other one is just a babbler who likes women's chatter.

That babbler is getting more rude every day.

He's disobedient. He has also bad-mouthed our brother's wife.

What did he say?

That day when she went to the pharmacy.

But I didn't want to disturb you about this.

Next time, you do disturb me.

Next time, you damn disturb me.

If someone owes you something, you collect it face-to-face.

Such stupid moves aren't meant for us.

I'll say it again for you.

If a member of Sheikh Al-Jabal's family pulls the trigger,

he must shoot to kill.

Got it?

Joe.

Open the door, sweetie.

I want to sleep in my father's room.

Fine, do as you want, but open the door. I want to talk to you.

Joe.

Open the door or I'll knock it over!

Now. Joe.

What?

He locked himself in?

He doesn't want to open it.

Let him be. He'll get bored and eventually come out.

I know my son. He's stubborn.

I can't pack the suitcases unless he's asleep.

He'll fall asleep in a while.

I'll check if Em Ali has a copy of the key.

Let me help you in packing your stuff.

It's okay. They are just a couple of things.

There's something I need to take your advice about.

Okay.

He told me that you didn't listen to him.

I listened to him, Mom. We even talked for half an hour.

The thing is, my uncle wanted to hear something else.

Your uncle has a point.

I know.

But it's my call.

Listen, my dear. I'm not getting involved in your business.

But your uncle told me that you're a little stubborn with the weapon issues.

When I was dealing with weapons,

I knew how many weapons were passing and to whom they were delivered.

But now, it's chaotic.

You don't know to whom and why the weapons are delivered.

Consider the following scenario.

A truck full of explosives passed.

And some suicide bomber sets it off among civilians.

See?

A terrorist attack is the last thing I need now.

Have you told this to your uncle?

I have.

But this is for you, Mom. Just to get it off your chest.

Oh, son, they won't leave you alone.

Come on, Mom. Remember what you used to tell me?

I told you, "Dear son,

you're a mountain which can't be disturbed by the winds.

Yet, don't be overwhelmed by stubbornness."

Don't worry, I know well what I'm doing.

God bless you.

Have you spoken to Alia yet?

No, not yet.

Going to Beirut won't do her any good.

It's not right!

Dear Mom, just humor me with this.

If she wants to go to Beirut, let her go.

What's in your mind?

What's in my mind is to know what's in hers.

Alia, if you were in my position, what would you do?

What am I doing? Of course, you haven't experienced such thing.

No man cheats on a beautiful woman like you.

Stop it. What does beauty got to do with cheating?

You're a beautiful woman as well.

Then why is he cheating on me?

I can show you the photos he is posting on Facebook,

and the comments he's getting,

and how he is reacting to them.

He's doing this to piss me off.

Above all, when I face him, he hits me.

He can't do this. He must not raise a hand on you.

Yeah. But I'm also responsible. I provoked him.

Even so. He's beating a pregnant woman.

I miss my house.

Didn't you try to call him?

No. I promised Jabal not to do it.

Till he apologizes and swears not to do it again.

What if he doesn't show up? What are you going to do?

You can't just chase him on Facebook.

I think you should both meet and talk face-to-face.

Where do you want to put these?

You know what,

if I wasn't pregnant, I would ask for a divorce and get this over with.

But it is selfish, isn't it?

I'll get it off my chest, but it will be troublesome for the child.

I suggest you both talk to each other before you do anything.

You don't know. Maybe the child will bring you closer.

As if he cares for the child.

Look. He didn't call to see if I'm okay.

I'll talk to Em Ali for a copy of the key.

It's okay. No need for that. I'll trick him to open the door.

If I like his Facebook photo,

would it be considered as a desperate move?

I don't think Facebook reactions would solve the problem with your husband.

It's okay. Forget it.

Sometimes my words don't seem to make any sense at all.

Good night.

And here's me, your father, and your grandpa during hunting.

What were you hunting?

Partridges.

Here's mom. She looks upset. We got to make her happy.

Sorry, Mom. I'll behave.

How courteous you are.

Indeed he is.

Can I see the photos with my uncle, please?

Sure. But don't stay for long. Your uncle has too much business.

Business isn't more important than Jabal Junior.

When do you leave tomorrow?

Tomorrow morning, not too much early.

Good luck.

Thank you.

Where were we?

Father and Grandpa during hunting.

Hunting what?

-Partridges. -Good boy.

And here...

Alia.

Do you have any relatives in Beirut?

No, I don't.

Naim is still there. I have to see him before he leaves.

Okay, listen, I've sent you Majdi's number.

In case you need anything.

Madam. Where do you want Jabal's suitcase?

In the car. Why did you bring it back?

Look at him. God bless him.

As if he was born here.

I long to have my eyes blessed with the sight of your children.

You will, Em Jabal.

When?

It's been a year since your divorce.

There's a time for everything.

Son, you're the elder in the family.

You shouldn't stay single with no children.

Somaya is expecting a boy. People will start talking.

You know me. I don't care about that.

If anybody dares to talk, I'll have his tongue cut off.

What's right is always right.

And I'm not going to wait much longer.

Go for it.

Nahed, did you tell Najah to bring back Jabal Junior's suitcase to the room?

"Nahed"? Just like that?

She's Em Jabal. Call her properly.

Is it worth it to take the boy with you for just a day or two?

Or do you intend to leave permanently?

I can't decide. If I couldn't take extra days off, I'm afraid I'll have to travel.

In that case, we'll bring Jabal Junior with us to say goodbye to you.

I didn't get it.

If you want to leave for Beirut, you can. No problem.

However, Jabal Junior will stay here until you return.

I wish you a nice and safe trip.

I'm not so good at all.

I'm heading to Beirut.

I'm coming alone. They refused to let me bring my son with me.

I'm telling you, they're unbelievable.

I did nothing. I just left. I didn't want to make a scene.

I didn't know what to do.

Anyway, we'll discuss it further once I see you.

Don't leave me here alone.

Okay.

Ciao.

You should've been more straight with her.

Sooner or later, she'll know that the boy is staying here.

If it was a two or three-day trip, she wouldn't need such too much packing.

She probably got your point.

I want you to get my point.

I don't know.

Something is telling me that you might let her leave with the boy.

We won't force things upon her.

And she's still distracted.

We must say final word.

The boy is staying here.

Mom, please, leave me alone.

You don't have to go along with him, my daughter.

Tell him you're tired and you can't go to university.

And what should I tell him tomorrow? And the day after?

He can't even dream to marry you.

What? No good morning?

Okay. What do you like to listen to?

I'm not in the mood for music.

No music then.

Do you call this grocery? Put it inside, move.

You got it.

Morning.

-Hi. -Are you Mr. Nidal Al-Said?

-Yes, I am. -Would you sign the delivery receipt?

What delivery? I didn't ask for anything.

Yeah. Welcome.

Believe me, I have no idea about any motorcycle.

Who could possibly send such a thing?

The same guy who burst my motorcycle. Sure thing.

Listen, I don't think Jabal is the guy who damaged the motorcycle.

He doesn't do such thing.

But I'm sure he's the man who sent you the new one.

No one but him.

Look, if you want to stay away from troubles, just accept it.

If you don't, it's your choice.

I'll see about that.

See you.

How's your son doing at the university?

Thanks.

My youngest son.

He is different than the others.

He's top of his class with high marks.

Let him continue his studies. Don't worry about the money.

Thank you, Master. I didn't mean that.

We were chatting and the subject just came up.

I need educated men to assist me.

Morons are plenty here. Look at that one.

-What's up? -What's up?

So, old man, everything's fine. Is your family, too?

Thank God, and you as well, sir.

Thank God. You hit the road and tell your son not to worry about the job.

What matters is he graduates with high marks.

God bless you, Master. You're a blessing!

Okay, then.

See you later.

-See you. -See you.

So, tell me. Anything new?

That dumb Nidal.

He refused to take the motorcycle.

He returned it without even a thank you.

What a scumbag.

You shouldn't have sent it in the first place, cousin.

You should've told Sakher not to play childishly in the first place.

When you want to hurt, you always have to cure.

What if he doesn't behave?

I'll deal with him.

What else?

Dorayd and his guys used to steal the vehicles.

Now, our vehicles can't pass through.

From our side or theirs?

Neither ours nor theirs.

The road is blocked in both ways.

The goods have piled up, and people need money.

Sit down and have some tea.

Ugly news like your faces.

-Aren't you bored of it? -What's that?

Your phone.

I'm texting my friend, asking her about lessons.

I'm talking about the device.

Aren't you sick of it?

Do you like to buy a new one?

To replace it.

You know me, I don't like to replace my phones.

What's bothering you exactly?

Why are you silent as the grave?

What is there to talk about?

I haven't seen you for couple of days.

I'd like to know where you often go,

how you are holding up, and what's in your head.

Nothing's in my head. I'm a little tired.

Of what?

Nothing, just tired. A headache.

-I have some pills, if you want-- -I don't. Please, I'll be fine.

Sakher, I didn't get much sleep yesterday.

Believe me. I woke up a little upset.

I'll be fine in a while.

I hope so.

The goods move from side to side.

If it passed through our side, then it was interrupted from the other side.

During the damn war, we were trafficking just fine.

Unless this is how you react to my message.

They can't deal with me like this.

Sheikh Al-Jabal's territory is vast.

We can manage to deliver our goods.

I'll pay those assigned to do this.

However, every penny I pay will be returned twice the value.

Understood?

And listen up.

Those who hinder my business will pay. You're a brother and a friend.

There's no need to call me.

Once the road is opened, everything will be fine.

I like to see you, too.

Godspeed.

Dorayd has no clue about this.

He's a damn liar.

Have you seen him?

I saw him at the club, and he seemed pretty fine.

Did anyone see you with him?

Absolutely not.

Fine.

You can walk freely and stay at nightclubs whenever you want, but stay off the grid.

You remember well how we tried relentlessly to settle up your condition.

I don't like Dorayd. I can't even stand him.

I mentioned this for your own good.

Unless you want to be stuck here and become a wanted man.

That's a different matter.

Go home.

I'm glad you made it, madam.

If you want to go somewhere, just text me. I'll be here in five minutes.

No need. I'll manage.

It's okay, madam. We're at your disposal.

Bonjour, madam.

We're expecting you.

Your passport, please. Your suite is ready.

Yeah.

This chocolate is on the house.

If there's anything you need, my name is Emad.

Emad, I think there's a mistake at the reservation.

I didn't ask for a suite.

This is a standard for Mr. Jabal. Please don't hesitate to ask.

And on behalf of the management, I wish you a happy and nice time here.

Hello.

I'm glad you made it there.

Thank you.

And thank you for the suite. You didn't have to do that.

That is the least we can do.

Mom and Mona say hi.

Say hi to them.

You have a driver.

I told him to get you a phone, in case you want to call Jabal Junior.

Or if you need anything.

I'd like to speak to him.

-He's beside me. -If you please.

Hi, my dear.

What time do your lectures end?

I don't know.

How is that?

I'll stay maybe for four or five hours. Or an hour later.

Okay. Call me half an hour earlier. I'm going to pick you up.

There's no need.

Of course, you have other things to do than keep picking me up back and forth.

Going downtown is very risky.

I don't care.

I do care.

That's enough, Sakher. You picked me up. Let me go home by myself.

How?

As normal, a car will pick me up back and forth.

Please, Sakher, go to your work.

Rima, I'll be waiting.

Sakher, wasn't I clear enough?

I'll be waiting for your call.

And if I don't call, what will you do?

Drag me from my hair?

Rima!

I love you. And I'll be waiting all my life.

Yes.

Yeah, I'm close.

I'm on my way.

Finally, someone I know.

Are you expecting someone else?

Not at all.

But every now and then, someone knocks and says, "Do you need anything, madam?

If there's anything, madam?"

Indeed, it's the mafia style.

Please cut the crap. I'm already mad at myself for leaving my son behind.

Okay, I'm here to listen.

Don't you have anything to drink?

Of course. Just a minute.

Come in.

Hello, madam. It's from the management.

I don't even have to ask.

This nerve wasn't completely removed. That explains the pain.

And the composite resin was dislocated, so there's toothache.

We need to replace the composite resin.

DR. GHADA AL-KHOURY DENTAL CLINIC

DR. GHADA AL-KHOURY HOUSE

Bite on this.

We're done for today.

See you in the morning. Okay.

I was hoping we get this over with. I need to go to Beirut.

I promise I'll see you first thing in the morning.

And this session is free.

It's not a matter of money.

See you in the morning.

-Well, thank you. -Bye.

Do you want something?

What about those appointments at night?

I know. Put them on hold. I'm tired today.

-Okay, take care. -Merci.

You've just broken a new record. You're five minutes earlier than last time.

That's because I missed you, and I can't wait to see you.

No leaving today. You'll be staying for the night.

We both had concerning doubts about what's behind this family.

And then your phone call had me all convinced. I was irritated.

I could barely finish my dinner.

I can't believe that my husband's family are drugs dealers. God knows what else.

This is what Adel was trying to hide all the time.

I was just sitting there at the table, consumed with thoughts.

First thing that came to my mind was to take my son and head to Beirut.

I didn't imagine they would prevent me from doing that.

I was shocked for a moment and didn't know what to do.

I just left. What else could I do? I needed to see you before you leave.

Your son's passport, do you have it or not?

-I do. Why? -Check if it's still there.

You know what? Coming here was a good idea.

We're surrounded up there in Al Hayba.

We couldn't know anything.

What?

Here it is. You had me doubt myself.

Good.

And there's this as well.

You still have the letter?
