Original subtitles

What's in the package?

A trusted gift for Master Zidan.

What's that gift?

Come on, Master, it's a gift.

Well.

See what the gift is.

It's not worth it.

If that is so, then don't argue.

Unload the car. Come on, I don't have all day.

Now.

Master!

Is this the gift?

Search the car thoroughly.

I have nothing to do with this. And this bag isn't mine.

What's this?

This is the package, you scumbags.

Get out.

I really didn't want to go.

Come over here.

Don't be afraid. You're going with me.

To the warehouse.

Listen, you tell your cousin that this car belongs to Zidan.

He wants it with its load.

He won't let it pass gracefully. Leave me out of this, man.

If it's up to me, I wouldn't care about what Jabal is doing.

Enough with these so-called arrangements.

Based on what you just told me, there will be no more arrangements.

It's time, Chahine.

Go now, we'll talk later.

Here you go.

I was talking to Dorayd.

There's something big behind that car.

We have to go to Al Hayba.

Well.

Here you go.

I want you out of this, Uncle.

I called you to tell you that the information you provided was right.

There's a rotten apple in my box. I have to find it.

If I don't find it, the whole box will be rotten.

I'll let the car pass with the money. But Zidan must know,

all cars will be scanned.

Or let him play somewhere else.

Who does that scumbag think he is?

I'm very calm, Uncle.

He either finds another route, or we'll meet and talk without mediators.

I don't care about Zidan or anyone else.

What's your name?

Hanady.

Is this your real name or what?

It's my real name.

They have my identification if you want to be sure.

Okay, Hanady.

I'll let them go and drive you anywhere you want in Beirut. Okay?

Honestly, Lady Alia urged me to take a day off.

But it isn't the right moment now.

And it will never be.

She has a good heart. She cares for us.

What's this? There's no sugar in it.

From now on, there will be no sugar, bread, and salt.

What's this crap?

This is Lady Alia's recommendation.

She put me on a diet, and here's the result.

But you didn't notice.

Are you crazy? Even in ten years, you won't lose one kilo.

I feel like I'm light.

Because you have no brains. Give me that sugar. Come on.

What is it? Who made Abu Ali upset?

I cut him off sugar.

Cut me off the air I breathe but not the sugar.

Don't say that.

And you need to slow down a little bit. Don't rush into it.

I swear I feel different. Look at me.

I lost some weight, right?

She's crazy. Poor thing.

See?

Don't listen to him. He'll regret it later.

Would you please make another glass for Joe?

You got it. Right away.

Give this to Joe. I'll make another one for Lady Nahed.

Is this for her?

Well, I'll take it to her. You make another one for Joe.

And slow it down with that diet. Don't go hard on yourself.

If we don't eat sugar, bread, and salt, then what should we eat?

Should we eat crap?

We've always been eating crap. Why the sugar?

It's a little cold today.

No one apologizes this way.

I don't mind apologizing if I did something wrong.

Your intention was good, but the method was wrong.

My intention is still good. I didn't mean to upset you.

If you have something to say, say it directly.

That is how Em Jabal acts.

Right.

And Em Jabal wishes to apologize.

But Mona isn't fine at all.

We have to stay and be with her, or else we'll lose her.

I talked to Jabal about this. I'm trying to figure something out.

What do you intend to do?

I don't know.

I'm trying to find a solution that will satisfy everybody.

Mona is reckless.

She needs to be reminded about her appointments.

And her husband doesn't care.

I'll make her my top priority.

I'll take care of her and remind her about checkup appointments.

Don't worry.

Mona is like a sister to me.

That is your duty.

Master is here.

Come over here.

Come.

Who is she, Jabal?

It's a long story.

Abu Ali, feed her. She hasn't eaten since the morning.

I don't feel like eating.

No, you should. Come inside.

You'll learn it by heart.

The menu. You'll learn it by heart.

What do you want to order?

Guess what I want to order?

I want to order the smile of my lover, Majdi.

His breathtaking sweet words.

I want you to tell me what to do again, where to go.

How our life would be better.

Here.

What's this?

Open it and see.

Your lover, Majdi, didn't go away.

And you can't win him back with a wristwatch.

I want my lover, Majdi, to love me still.

I don't want anything else.

Won't you try it on?

Let me help you.

I'll help you put it on.

So, do you like it?

Thanks.

It's even more beautiful on your wrist.

Come on, give me a smile.

Now, what will you order for me?

-What do you like? -No need to look.

-I've learned it by heart, I know. -Of course, you did.

Please.

Hey, Hanady.

Why are you crying?

I'm very scared.

Very scared.

Don't be. We're on your side.

That girl is so miserable. What will you do?

She needs to go back to Beirut.

No, Jabal, please.

If she goes, you know what will happen to her.

The problem is that I also know what will happen if she stays.

You won't let her go, will you?

I once experienced such an incident.

And I regret it badly.

But this time...

This time, if you let her go, we'll regret this for our whole lives.

If you need anything, just call my name. I stay up at night.

Excuse me.

What's your name?

Hanady.

Your name is difficult.

-And what's your name? -Jabal.

Your name isn't easy either.

Call me Joe and I'll call you Didi.

-Didi? -Yeah.

It's a lot easier than Hanady.

Well, Didi it is.

-What grade are you in? -Third.

Alia doesn't know yet.

But you know very well what it means to take away one of Zidan's girls.

Listen.

He won't order girls anymore.

Even if he does, they won't be passing through my territory.

Let the girl go back to Beirut.

He's still talking about the same issue.

Listen, Sakher.

The girl asked for my help. End of story.

Or do you want people to defame me?

So, you want a war with Zidan.

There will be...

a war anyway.

Why are you silent? Say something.

I'm listening.

Listen to me, both of you.

This time, it's me who wants Zidan.

I want to hear his voice.

They keep saying things like, "Zidan wants this or Zidan said so."

If he wants the girl, that's fine. Let him show up and take her.

The man offered a gesture and invited you to his place.

I don't need him. It's the other way around.

No one plays boss on me.

His men are stealing from us.

If he wants to do business with me, he has to meet me face-to-face.

I swear I don't feel right about all of this.

Something doesn't add up.

Think with me.

Why did he take the car and the girl through that road and not another road?

Because it's a shortcut.

What about you?

I don't think he was sending a message.

He wants to make a fight.

And if we stand still,

he'll sit on our backs and dangle his legs.

Wait a moment. I'm really sorry.

But this time, it's you who's provoking him

and wants this to escalate, not him.

No.

He's pushing me.

And I won't retaliate using the girl.

We'll retaliate with Dorayd's head.

Dorayd won't give Ronny back. That's for sure.

Simply put...

last time,

I gave him more time for who?

This time,

I don't want the front office people. I want the big bosses behind this.

This should be clear enough.

Good night.

Good night.

Why does he want to do all this?

I told you there's something big behind that girl.

And that Dorayd, what are we going to do about him?

I haven't decided yet.

It's your fault. We had him this close!

Sakher, this is my problem. I'll figure it out.

See you.

See you.

The girl is good. I'll give you that.

But keep watching her. Appearances can be deceiving.

And the clothes she wears, oh, God!

They were very outrageous, they made me feel sick.

Don't worry. I'll keep watching her closely.

Well.

Can I have a cigarette?

How old are you?

I'm 20 years old.

How long have you been doing this?

Doing what?

Smoking.

Not long ago.

I don't inhale the smoke.

You're better off without it.

I'm Sakher.

I'm Hanady.

When did the story about that murdered man and girl happen?

About a week after you arrived here.

Debb is still attending trials.

The judge doesn't know yet that the girl was killed by her parents?

He might know.

Could the same thing happen to Hanady?

If she had parents, she wouldn't have come this far.

Such a poor girl.

Why did you let them leave in the first place?

She said she loves him and wants to stay with him.

What...

What? Did I say something funny?

No, sorry.

But I still don't understand that emotional part of you.

When I remember what you did to me and Naim,

I can't imagine that you'll be moved by such matters.

That situation was different.

I had to.

In that particular event, they came across me.

I couldn't pretend not to see them. How could I not be moved?

It was nice of you to help them escape because they love each other.

That is what happened.

By the way,

I also feel like I'm walking on sand. I'm afraid of drowning.

So we have something in common.

Is this why you bought the sandglass?

Watch where you step into, then.

As if you care whether I drown or not.

It depends on where I would be.

If you were near me, I'd give you my hand so you would not drown.

Why? Because I came across you like those people?

You can't pretend not to see me.

No.

Because this is who I am and how I think.

If you want to sleep, I'll turn off the lights.

No. What are you reading?

A story.

Well, fine.

Read a little for me.

The book is in English.

So what if it's in English?

I mumble some good English. Read for me.

Well, I'll tell you what the book is about.

He's an American author.

I see.

His name is Paul Auster.

The book is about someone who hired a spy to watch him.

But in time, he discovers that...

Very lame.

What do you think? Will he do it?

Listen, I don't even trust my mother.

There's no going back for Chahine.

If Jabal has doubts about Chahine, he will kill him.

What more if he finds out that he double-crossed him?

Let's hope that Chahine kills Jabal and replace him.

So try to instigate him as much as possible.

From now on, Chahine is the boss.

Here he is.

Welcome, Chahine.

What's up, guys?

-What's up? -Come inside.

Here you are.

-Are you ready? -Yes.

Will you wear this at the factory? Don't you have anything else to wear?

No.

Well, I'll find you something. You have to wear less makeup, too.

I'm not saying you should kick her out.

Find her another place.

She can't stay here. Where are her parents?

As far as I know, they fled away from Syria like most of the people.

Listen.

She can still be saved from the street.

But if we abandon her, she will definitely be lost.

And what else?

Alia took it upon herself. Let her handle this.

Get her pregnant with a boy instead of raising someone else's children.

Did you have to mention this?

So that you won't forget.

It's God's will, Mom. It needs time.

I see.

You're listening to your wife now more than necessary.

This is new.

I didn't recognize you.

This is the original version.

Wait in the car. I'll catch up with you.

Okay. Excuse me.

Did you ask her what she wants?

She doesn't know yet. But she's definitely afraid of going back.

Listen, Alia. We still don't know who she is.

We have to be careful.

I know. I'll take her with me to the factory. We'll see about that.

Okay. I'll send an escort car with you.

Don't say no.

I've learned the lesson.

-Take care. -See you.

I don't feel good about that girl.

Jabal found her.

The girl is pure. She's a virgin.

But Zidan can find a hundred girls instead.

No one feels good about scanning the vehicles.

Especially Zidan's vehicles.

How long have you been trafficking cocaine and pills?

If it wasn't for that doofus Ronny, we'd still be working.

And Jabal trusted you and never searched your vehicles.

You mean that Jabal was blocking us.

He doesn't want to do business or let anyone else do it.

Folks, it's not about the girl anymore.

It's about finding a boss other than Jabal.

Listen to me, both of you.

If anything happens to Jabal, I'll avenge him.

We didn't say that we want to kill him.

We'll do to him what he did to your father.

We'll lock them together. They'll have fun and settle things up.

He'll get away with it. Believe me.

If your father does that, he will, too.

What do you want from me now?

To drive Jabal out of his territory.

We'll call the police. They will arrest him.

You have to be careful. It has to appear like I'm out of this.

Don't worry. You just give us the address. We'll do the rest.

How much time do you need?

That depends on where he would be.

In or out of Al Hayba.

Suppose he is in Al Hayba.

Wait for my call.

How much time does it take for the police to arrive?

One hour? Two hours?

One hour maximum. It's Jabal Sheikh Al-Jabal.

Let's agree on something first.

I won't give you Jabal just like that.

Not until I know how you were trafficking. What are the routes?

How much did you profit? And what's my commission?

Chahine, are you playing the boss card now?

We're still at the beginning.

We'll tell you.

But you have to know that there's no going back.

We want him as soon as possible.

I'm listening.

Wow. You're in the mood this morning.

Hey.

Sakher, take it easy.

If you can imagine it, you'll get it.

Why aren't you listening, then? The way I see it, it's not good at all.

-Mahmoud. -Yes.

Leave us.

What?

It's a little blurry.

Why is it so?

Why did you let Dorayd get away while you had him?

You know very well that he's stealing from you!

Because he was in my house, and he asked our cousin for help.

Chahine won't be able to stop him alone.

Well, give him a hand if you want.

Tell me who the rotten apple is?

Tell me something clear, for God's sake.

Lately, I've been feeling that something is wrong.

I'll tell you.

Jabal!

Jabal, what is it?

Sit!

Jabal! Please! What's going on with you?

Come on, stay still.

Don't be restless.

The rotten apple will show itself. It won't hide itself.

So what? Should I shut my mouth?

Shut up. Is this the face you meet the people with?

What's this cut?

I'll make you a new cut. You'll look really nice.

Brother, the rotten apple will damage the rest before it shows up.

Believe me, your chin is the rotten one. Stand still. Don't move.

Jabal.

I don't know what to do. I really don't.

When my family fled away, I was preparing for high school finals.

We moved from place to place until we reached Beirut.

Then my family went to Turkey, then to Germany.

I stayed here in Lebanon with my cousin.

Why didn't you go with them?

I went to Turkey.

But when I saw the rubber boat, I was petrified. I couldn't get on it.

Then I returned to Lebanon. My family was a little short on money.

But they are in Germany now.

And since I'm more than 18 years old now, they couldn't send me a reunion visit.

Or even get me a visa.

So I had to take care of myself.

How did you start doing this?

When you're in such a miserable and needy state,

a lot of people will drive you to do vile things.

Maybe one of the girls you know, or cab drivers.

Or people in hotels.

There are a lot of girls like me out there.

Haven't you heard about those girls who were locked in a basement?

If it wasn't for Ibtisam, I would've been one of them.

Who is Ibtisam? What does she do?

You know, she cares for me so much. She advises me.

Yeah, that's true. She's unique. You're lucky.

Your mother and siblings are now in Germany.

What about your father?

He died.

Hanady, tell me the truth.

Do you want to keep doing this?

Well, if you want to stay with us, you'll have to work.

I will. But I don't know what work I should do.

It doesn't matter. We'll think about that later.

For now, you'll stay with me all the time.

You may study again.

Half the girls I knew were educated and certified ones,

but they still had to work in this field.

This is nonsense.

No one can force you to do something.

Unfortunately, this is what lazy people, who want everything to be easy, say.

No, madam.

It wasn't easy at all.

I don't know what to say.

Wouldn't it have been better if you just worked in something clean?

I still want to.

So, you have to forget what happened.

And turn this page forever. Start a new clean slate.

Learn to do a new respectful job.

Do you know how to use computers?

I know a little.

You know, how to check my Facebook, something like that.

Well, it's okay.

From now on, you'll come with me to the factory every day

until you learn the work.

No.

You have to forget about Sakher. He should never know about this.

You said he's not happy.

He's not. He's willing to do anything.

But as long as Jabal is there, he won't change his mind.

Well.

Listen.

Sakher has a feeling that Jabal will throw us in a drowning boat.

But the difference between me and him is that I know when to get off that boat.

He's willing to drown with his brother.

To hell with both of them.

Slow it down a little bit.

You're not familiar with our family issues.

To us, the head of the family can never be disagreed with even if he's wrong.

That's for granted.

And anyone who betrays the head of the family

will live his entire life in humiliation.

Leave the family stuff to me. You just handle the business.

No one would believe that Jabal and Sakher went down and I survived.

What are you thinking about?

Jabal wants your head.

And Sakher wants to fix things with Zidan before it's too late.

How about we call it even?

I'll arrange a meeting between you and Sakher.

Before Jabal goes down.

Or else we'll achieve nothing.

But we still don't know how Jabal will be caught.

Listen.

Let's agree on something.

Jabal will have to be apprehended. And only the police can do that.

Otherwise, there'll be waves of ongoing retaliations.

And you'll find me against you there.

Jabal has a girlfriend.

She's in Al Hayba, but outside Sheikh Al-Jabal's neighborhood.

He goes there to see her without an escort.

Now we're talking.

Only three men know where Jabal goes. Me, Debb, and Sakher.

I'll send one of my men to that location.

He'll be there 24 hours a day.

Where's this location?

Listen, Dorayd.

Without Sakher, I can be head of the family.

If I'm not the head of the family, there will be chaos,

and families will clash.

The state police will be involved. And this is not in our best interest.

Let's take advantage of that girl thing right now.

Well, we agree.

Give us the address.

And you handle things with Sakher.

Do you intend to give Mom a stroke?

Why are you nagging all the time?

Now I'm nagging?

It's very tasty.

Glad you like it.

Hello.

How are you, Alia?

Fine.

I was tasting the new product. It's very tasty.

We'll taste it. Why not?

Listen, there's a woman here.

Hanady's cousin. She wants to take her.

Who's that woman?

Take her where?

She's the problem in the first place.

She wants to see her and talk to her.

Jabal, the girl is still confused. She doesn't know what she wants yet.

What if she poisons her mind?

We would be doing our duty.

We wouldn't be doing anything.

The girl needs to be educated.

Well then,

educate her and then send her with Amin. Let her decide for herself.

Okay.

Bye for now.

You got your answer.

So, Ibtisam is your cousin?

Look, Hanady, this is your life and you're free to do anything you want.

But it is my duty to advise and warn you.

What's going on?

Ibtisam has come to take you with her.
