Original subtitles

Where could he possibly go?

But I promise you that we will save no effort to get your son back.

And to determine Mr. Naim's whereabouts.

Sorry, but I thought I would meet the ambassador.

Believe me I understand and know how you feel.

But I'm in charge here of such procedures.

And the ambassador knows every single detail.

But Naim's life is in danger.

You've got to act quickly before anything happens to him.

You know, I'll try to do something.

Go to your parents' house for a couple of days.

Until I figure something up. I'll call you later.

I'm not leaving my house.

As you like. But I won't be available until I kill Jabal.

No matter how long that would take?

Badawi could have waited more than 40 years to seek his revenge.

Sorry. I won't leave until I know what you did.

Nothing can happen today. These things need time.

It's up to the Lebanese authorities now.

They will handle the situation accordingly.

I just want you to relax at the hotel.

If anything happens, I'll call you and keep you updated.

How can I relax? What if they can't do anything?

They will do their best. Okay? You just have to relax. Please.

Okay.

To hell with school. Shall we spend the whole day playing and jumping?

No studying. We'll just climb up the mountain and hunt birds of all kinds.

Pigeons, rock doves. Agree?

It's not that I don't want to go. The thing is, how can I go?

With no books...

Don't stall, with books and stuff.

Everything you need will be available. You just say it.

I'll drive him tomorrow.

He'll get to know the school and make a list of the required stuff.

Abu Ali will drive him. Don't bother.

No, it's okay.

Abu Ali will drive him.

It's for your own good, daughter.

Abu Ali!

Give Jabal a ride tomorrow and get him all the stuff he wants.

A patrol is on the way here.

-Why? -Regarding the little boss.

That Alia always impresses me. She doesn't waste time.

Grandson, go to your aunt's room now.

It's quite serious this time.

It's also about the lawyer.

They want to know his whereabouts. They need a straight answer.

Or else they will send a huge raid.

We're on the way, sir.

I'll issue the warrant.

Of course, if he is present.

I'll tell him that as commanded. Regards.

What have you done, Chahine?

If you can't handle this game, perhaps you shouldn't have played it.

This is garbage.

Meet me at the warehouse now.

Tell me, son.

Naim has disappeared.

To hell with him.

Do you feel sorry for him? He's worth only a bullet!

I should've put a knife to his neck rather than see him escape.

Go, son. I'll meet the officer and serve him a cup of coffee.

You talk to the boy. We don't want him to say something wrong.

Okay, son. You go now.

The attorney general has refused to release Debb on a bail.

DETENTION CELL

He is to be transferred to the examining magistrate for suspicion.

It all can be handled. I'll try with the magistrate.

There's good news.

I have the guy's photo.

It means we can identify the girl very easily.

Yeah. I hear you.

What?

Disappeared? How's that?

Disappeared.

The Canadian embassy wants to know where he is.

This would be quite a troubling matter.

Well, if you find him, that's good.

If not,

I'll fabricate a convincing story.

Do you want to talk to Debb?

Put him on the phone.

-Here you are. -Give me that.

My regards.

We missed you.

Me too, Master. I missed you so much.

I hope to see you out soon.

Don't worry about me, Jabal.

If you're fine, I'll be, too.

It was nice to hear your voice.

Take care.

Okay, Master. See you.

-Happy? -I am, indeed.

Yeah, I'm here.

Listen, get it done with Debb. And figure something up.

The police are here.

No worries. I'll figure something up.

See you.

Excuse me. Can you please tell me where the main road is?

How's your family? I hope they're fine.

They're all good, Madam Nahed.

Yeah, thank God for everything.

Abu Ali, get the boy here.

Right away, madam.

You know, all families have disagreements.

And these disagreements need time.

If not locally, in courthouse, if necessary.

Of course, no doubt.

But the embassy wants to know the whereabouts of the boy and the lawyer.

Those foreigners are really skeptical.

The boy is at his grandparents'.

Do people abduct their own son?

Of course not, madam.

And I'm not here to take the boy. That's up to the authorities.

I'm just here to make sure he's all set and fine.

You mean, to make sure that the boy isn't here against his will.

Here he is. Come here, boy. Give nana a kiss.

Good boy. The respectful officer wants to talk to you.

-Hi. -What's up?

-Fine. -Fine?

What grade are you in?

-Third. -Good boy.

I swear, if it wasn't for my promise to my nephew,

I would've left you to be broken apart by a mine.

Or I would've had you delivered to one of those groups that get heads cut off.

You would be a headline.

"Adventurous Canadian Lawyer Got Decapitated."

Alia is...

to be forgotten.

Never ever try to reach her by phone.

If you do so, I'll get you wherever you are.

Forget Alia, forget Jabal Junior.

And forget there's a country called Lebanon.

The issue over the boy is between you and the mother. Settle this in courts.

However, the issue of the lawyer needs to be answered for as soon as possible.

I don't know what to say.

Please, Madam Nahed. We need to know, or else we'll act accordingly.

Okay. Godspeed.

Alia could get the custody. And we can make it a little difficult.

We can stall the process in court and file lawsuits against her.

Believe me, she'll suffer. I bet she will.

I don't want you to bet on such a thing.

I want you to figure out a way to keep the boy here with us.

I think we can force her to stay here in Lebanon.

But we can't force the place of residence.

Could anyone take the boy?

I'm talking legally.

You'll handle it off the law.

Listen to me carefully.

About the passport, keep it with you till we file a travel ban case for the boy.

This sounds more relieving.

So, I'm done here.

Listen.

I want Debb to be released.

I will talk to the examining magistrate about that.

Although, I doubt he'll release him on bail.

This is the photo of the guy.

Including some information. If it holds in court,

then we'll be able to release Debb.

By the way, regarding Naim,

someone has to notify the police that he is traveling.

The police will notify the embassy.

That's not my problem. I'm not telling anybody.

Let them find him on their own.

By the way,

his flight leaves in two hours.

DEPARTURES

Honestly, there was a flight heading to Canada.

Unlucky for you, it was full.

There were flights to Iraq, Dubai, and Libya as well.

But I booked you a flight to Burkina Faso.

In any case, you've just finished a course in the jungle.

You'll practice what you've learned.

In Burkina Faso, there're really some nice men just like you.

They speak languages.

Guess what you'll find there.

May I be blessed.

Listen, enough with the jokes. Let's get serious.

You know what, let's keep it at the joke level.

I promise, I'll get on the plane and you will forget there was a man named Naim.

Now we're talking. Why involve yourself in the first place?

Every man does stupid things in his life. For me, this was the stupidest.

Bravo, this is the spirit.

Speaking of jokes and seriousness.

If the boy hasn't said what he said, would Jabal really have me killed?

Listen, no joking around about this.

If the boy said, "Shoot him,"

I swear on my father's life, and I really mean what I swear on,

we would feed your body to the dogs.

Isn't it time for my flight already?

It is. Don't worry.

You're on business class directly to Toronto.

Move.

He's still young.

Poor thing.

God help his parents.

There's nothing to say.

This is God's will. Here you are. Poor guy.

Why is he a poor guy? You don't know, maybe he was bad.

This is what I want you to find out.

Whether he was bad or a poor lover.

Oh, poor thing.

The poor lover always dies.

I'll see about this poor lover.

Excuse me.

You're excused, polite boy.

Your aunt and her daughter will get your brother lost.

Let him be lost in love rather in something else.

I'll never accept her daughter in my house.

Let her be frozen next to her mother.

As if your daughter's husband is much better.

We agreed on Majdi. And here he is. Look what he has done.

This is what keeps me in pain about Mona.

I forgave her just for you.

But next time, I swear I don't know what I'll do.

Please, son. For my sake. Comfort your sister, please.

She's pregnant.

Okay.

We'll see.

God bless you.

Hey, don't you feel cold out here?

I'm bored of sitting inside.

The man you're thinking of is lucky.

If only you knew what I was thinking about.

What?

There, where I'm supposed to be.

In case you wake up someday and can't find me.

The whole village is talking about it.

What is it, Nana?

About a pregnant woman who was in labor.

Her husband is a poor but good man who can't afford hospitals.

So, he brought a midwife at home.

But the childbirth wasn't easy. The woman was almost dead.

The man rushed madly into the street to find a car. He found none.

Then?

On his way back, he found a taxi, but it was full.

But the passenger was good enough to let him get in the car with him.

-She gave birth in the car. -No.

He gave them a ride to the hospital even though the road was very dangerous.

And when the man tried to pay for the taxi,

that good passenger didn't let him.

On the contrary, he gave him money

enough to afford the hospital and the expected baby for two months.

I think I know that good man.

The man kept swearing that he didn't recognize him at first.

And he named his daughter Nahed as he told him.

"If I get a boy, I will name him Jabal," he said.

Your driver seems to talk a lot.

You know, he's not to blame.

He keeps telling the story to the whole village.

He can't believe that he was in the car with Jabal Sheikh Al-Jabal.

It seems like the boss can't get in a taxi anymore.

It's okay. We'll take another road.

You've warmed my heart and made me proud.

God bless you.

May God's blessings be upon you, Mom.

As long as you recognize the family, be generous with them, okay?

You've done more than enough, son.

I hope to see your son soon.

I hope so.

I hope we will be blessed first with Mona's child.

Really?

Well then, very good.

I'll be there in an hour.

Okay, see you.

Mona, you're not dressed yet?

Who is going to take me to school?

I can't take you, my dear.

Abu Ali will give you a ride.

You promised to take me to school.

Why did you change your mind now?

Yes, dear, I promised. But I can't go.

Nana, Mona promised me yesterday that she'll take me to school.

But now she says she can't do that.

Really? Why? Are you tired?

If I was able, I would take you myself.

I want Mona to take me.

Aunt Mona.

Okay, Aunt Mona.

Go with him if you can. Abu Ali can't go along with him.

Do I have the permission now?

Don't make any trouble.

Your brother wants what's best for you.

Those who are older than us know what is best.

I'll take you, my dear.

Dorayd is full of surprises.

Forget about Dorayd. He's greedy.

And that would get him killed.

Focus on Debb's issue.

I want to know about the girl before Debb is done with the magistrate.

Don't worry. Today or tomorrow, his photo will be all over Al Hayba.

Why does this yogurt taste bad?

What is it? Let me see.

Sour.

Sour?

It's okay, we're not really selling yogurt.

Even so.

It has no taste at all. It's half water.

Are we interested in the yogurt or in the stuff that's beneath the yogurt?

We're paying money to stores just to take the yogurt.

What if someone likes to try one?

Do you accept being accused of making sour yogurt?

It's not acceptable.

Dorayd.

Okay, I'll see you on the way.

Okay.

We'll see that surprise of yours.

Hey, Alia, what's wrong?

Aren't you happy with the news?

Of course, I am. I'm happy for him.

Are you 100% sure he's gone abroad?

Yeah, we are sure that he arrived safely in Canada, and everything will be fine.

So, rest assured.

Fine.

I don't know. I tried to reach him many times. He didn't answer.

Anyway, what about my son? What will you do?

Honestly, you can't be with your son again unless you go through court.

We're surely with you.

But you have to get a judicial warrant. We'll do the rest.

What? It seems you didn't like the news.

Yeah, okay.

Is there a specific lawyer you recommend?

Sure, there's one. But in such cases, he can't do much.

You need a specialized lawyer.

So, this is the good news.

I'm supposed to be happy, right?

I swear to God, I spoke with everyone except that man, Zidan.

He's impregnable, man.

So, you know God?

We hold high hopes in you, boss.

Excuse me.

Welcome, Master!

-What's up? -Hi.

What?

I want my reward for this surprise.

Let me see.

Oh, welcome, Uncle!

We missed you.

Say hi to our uncle.

Oh, Uncle!

Nice one.

I told you.

I missed you.

-Oh, goddamn it! -Can I help you?

Oh, not now.

What?

Good morning, Mom. I tried to call you. Maybe you were busy.

I wanted to show you my school uniform.

I've been through a lot of tough times.

But I've never seen such a tough time in our country like this.

Only God knows what could happen in the future.

What could possibly happen, Uncle?

If you don't know what could happen, who else could?

Will you believe me if I tell you no one knows?

There is no regard left for family, history or anything.

People that used to be poverty-stricken, now have millions.

They are giving bloody orders!

Just for now, Uncle.

They will disappear when the war is over.

And the loyal ones will remain what, Mom?

-Will remain loyal. -That's right.

Loyal to whom?

Every war has its own class,

and the current class is the dirtiest one.

They have no regard for faith, honor, and morals. Nothing at all.

They only worship money.

And who...

And who pays more?

Take it easy, Uncle.

Uncle Jamal is here? Welcome.

Hi. How are you, girl?

Fine, and you?

-I missed you. -So did I. I really missed you.

Say hi, Jabal Junior.

Hello.

He is the youngest of all. Jabal. Son of the deceased Adel.

Listen, you know what it's like to be named Jabal?

Vigorous like your uncle!

What's "vigorous"?

-Oh, cute boy! -My dear.

Where's his mom?

-And that, too? -Yes, please.

Here you go.

Sorry, madam, it's not working.

Are you sure?

Shall I try it again?

Yes, please. Perhaps it's a connection error.

Sorry, madam, it's not working.

Do you like to pay in cash?

-Okay, I'll just go out for an ATM. -Okay.

-Will you put them aside for me? -Sure.

Hey!

I'll be honest with you.

I'm not here to visit only.

I've been hearing a lot of talks.

They've asked me to see you and talk you through it.

The terms you placed on them won't work.

You know, they need to be a little altered.

They want more.

They are riding a dangerous train. It won't last.

And I don't want to ride with them.

I agree.

How can I put it?

If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is to stop digging.

The second thing is to not widen the hole.

But it's not me who is digging the hole.

They started it, and they want us all to fall in it.

I'm standing at a distance, Uncle. I'm trying to build a wall.

If this wall can't be built, there will be no boundaries of any kind.

So, watch out of the people you're building with.

Who are you referring to? Dorayd?

No.

Dorayd will be gone.

I mean, the people around you.

The people around me are my family, and I trust them more than myself.

Don't underestimate the situation. Power drives desires.

A lot of brothers killed each other to pursue it.

Your Uncle Ghazi is screaming from prison to pursuit it.

Those who want it, let them come.

And whoever owes me something, let them come and collect it.

If they can't, they will ask your enemies to help them.

Nephew, this an old and dirty game. Bloody dirty!

Is there someone in particular you want me to be aware of?

There's one name that kept coming up recently.

Your cousin, Chahine.

Son of Ghazi Sheikh Al-Jabal.

Can you prove that?

No, none.

But there will be.

Chahine?

Hi, Alia, I've sent you the number of a good lawyer.

If you need anything, call me. Okay?

Jamal.

Stay for the night.

You can hit the road tomorrow.

I can't, Nahed.

I have to head to Syria.

If Jabal wouldn't be in danger, I wouldn't have come here.

Oh, Jabal has always been in danger.

This time, it's different.

They seem pretty determined.

Jamal, something doesn't add up.

Suppose they want to replace Jabal, they can put Chahine in his place.

Maybe they don't want Jabal.

They want the family name.

And the most qualified one is Chahine.

Is it possible that they're doing this to get Ghazi released from prison?

They can't, Nahed.

He's deeply incriminated.

Plus, they want someone to be a puppet.

The most suitable person for that is Chahine.

Did you tell Jabal?

I did.

But you know your son.

What worries me the most about him is his stubbornness.

Well, I'll see what I can do.

I'll be completely supportive,

but he needs to be a little more lenient.

Are you sure you're not coming back today, Uncle?

You know, I'll meet the people.

I'll try to explain your point of view to them.

I'll see Zidan afterwards.

I'll send Chahine with you then.

He'll be your travel companion.

He'll attend the meeting with you and get back with the answer.

My dear nephew, it seems like...

my words were completely irrelevant.

On the contrary, Uncle.

He says they want to have Chahine. And you'll send him there?

If they want Chahine, they can have him.
