Original subtitles

Your mother finally allowed Joe to come and visit you.

I'm making you a very tasty soup.

You haven't eaten anything so far.

I'm reading an article about how sometimes the diagnosis can be wrong.

Could it be?

Mona, enough. What you're doing is wrong.

You can't keep convincing yourself with information from here and there.

You must have the operation eventually.

The sooner, the better.

Do you have Joe's passport or do they have it?

Why are you asking about that now?

You said that there are people who will help you get Joe

out of the country if he gets to Beirut?

I did. But I don't intend to travel now.

And don't change the subject, you sneaky woman.

You're going to the hospital tomorrow. End of story.

I'll be fine whether I go or not.

But my family won't send Joe alone.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance.

Talk to your people and ask them to help you leave.

You don't belong here.

Okay, we'll talk about this later.

I want to make sure you'll be fine first.

I told you that you'll never get another chance.

I'll bring you the soup.

I don't want him to make demands.

He doesn't have the right to do so.

But I'll do it for your sister, Mona.

She's stubborn and careless. She's going to hurt herself.

Em Jabal, I won't argue with you.

And I'm at your command.

I have the boy's passport. He's not going anywhere.

You know the right thing to do.

God bless you.

Do you know what I like most about a girl?

Her smile.

Especially when she laughs.

I didn't know you like hanging out with girls.

I thought you were a serious man.

Isn't that right, miss?

You know better.

Rima, please.

What did I do?

Rima, this is ridiculous!

You have to keep your voice down.

Don't forgot who I am.

My brother and cousin await for my signal to make you disappear.

Tell me, what do you want now? What do you want?

Want me to leave the place?

For that girl?

Where are you going? I'm talking to you.

Excuse me, one white tequila.

You have to relax.

Such a beautiful face shouldn't be sad for nothing, right?

Please, I'm very upset.

I'm here to cheer you up big time.

What do you say?

Don't you know how to close your door?

Was it open?

Jabal wants to speak to you.

Okay.

Did I upset you or something?

I mean, the door. Did it make you upset?

No. The door is fine.

But they wouldn't install it if it doesn't have any use.

So, I didn't upset you.

I don't like to be a burden to anyone.

No.

You didn't upset me, and you're not a burden.

I gave up smoking.

That's good for you.

Don't be late.

The girls used to often talk about Zidan.

We went to his place once.

A palace or a villa. I don't know where.

We were about ten girls. They were three or four men.

I couldn't tell who Zidan was.

It seemed that he liked me.

Or perhaps Ibtisam convinced him of me.

Then, he sent for me.

I was going to see him.

I didn't know what was waiting for me.

You know the rest.

Do you know anyone who knows him?

No, even Ibtisam doesn't know him.

A middle man speaks to her.

One time, a girl said she knew him. She went to see him.

But she never came back.

That's why I was so worried.

Why did you go then?

I didn't have any other choice.

Why are you asking me?

You know, I disconnected myself from them completely.

I promised Lady Alia that I'll never speak to any of them.

Keep that promise.

If you remember anything, come to me or Sakher.

Sure.

And don't be so anxious.

You've entered our house and shared our food. You're like a family now.

All right.

Can I go now or do you still need me with something?

You can go.

-Good night. -Good night.

What is this Zidan?

He's like a ghost.

Maybe a ghost to his men only.

What you don't know is that Zidan is just a name.

Many people hide behind it.

And, unfortunately,

our uncle is one of them.

You should've let him come. What if Dorayd was bluffing?

You still have too much to learn, boy.

When a man's neck is facing the blade, he won't be bluffing.

He will be trading his life.

Oh, gosh.

If Uncle Jamal had come...

I would've slaughtered him.

I would have had to slaughter Uncle Ghazi, too.

But that didn't happen.

Let both of them live. That's better.

I'll let Chahine get away with it this time.

Chahine already knows that.

That must be Joe.

-Sweetie. -Mommy!

My dear.

Bring these inside, Abu Ali.

How are you, Alia?

Good to see you.

How are you, madam?

Why are you barefooted?

Won't you grow up?

It took you long to pick up.

I was excited looking at the screen. It says, "Jabal is calling you."

So, you didn't delete my number?

You're not the only one who takes risks. I also take risks.

And I won't delete it. That's for sure.

No need to delete it.

When will I see you?

Every night, I prepare supper for two and wait for a knock on the door.

I can't go to your place anymore.

It doesn't matter. I'll go see you wherever you want. I just want to see you.

If God wills.

But even if I couldn't see you, don't do anything foolish.

The situation is very dangerous.

Did you miss me?

I think only of you, so imagine how much I miss you.

Well, I won't take much of your time. Good night.

Good night.

A good seed needs a good soil.

If you keep this seed in your belly, it will hurt you.

And you won't be able to bear a child.

-I am... -Listen.

I didn't go all this way to argue with you about everything.

You took a wrong road, and I won't let you go on with it.

You have to abort that willingly or else you'll be forced to do it.

She's right. You'd hurt yourself in the long run.

I'm convinced.

But I can't imagine...

God gives and takes away.

"Perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you."

Come on, daughter. Get some sleep and rest.

You don't want to be exhausted during the operation.

You'll find me waiting at the clinic.

-Where are you going? -I don't feel comfortable sleeping here.

Really? Stay. This is your daughter's house.

You know, if it wasn't my daughter's house, I wouldn't set foot in it.

And if the situation was different, I wouldn't bother to travel this far.

Lady Nahed, we appreciate you coming here.

This is your daughter's house. We are guests here.

See you at the clinic tomorrow. Good night.

What drugs did the doctor prescribe for you?

They are in the bag.

Please, Alia.

See what drugs she has to take.

I'm a little tired from the long road.

Hello.

Hello.

Yes, Mom.

Why aren't you picking up?

I didn't see your call. I just woke up.

Where are you?

Mom, I'm fine. Let me just wash my face. I'll call you back.

Okay. I'm going to see your father.

Okay, Mom. Say hi to Dad.

See you.

Good morning, sweetie. Last night was amazing.

I hope you like the video.

I know it's still early for both of you.

But I want you to bear a child for my son to put an end to people's talk.

You know, if God Almighty didn't bless us with Jabal Junior,

I would've said that having children wasn't meant for our family.

It's not only about me.

You know that Jabal lived with Somaya for four years.

But we don't know what happens between a husband and a wife.

And I'm sure that she's to blame, not my son.

Anyway, it's up to you now, Alia.

I'm ready.

Well then, let me check if Joe's up and I'll go with you.

No. You stay here.

Mom will go with me.

It would take barely two or three hours. Come on, Mona.

Hope you'll recover soon.

Thanks.

Sweetie.

Joe.

Son.

-Let's go. -Where to?

Home.

Really?

You taped me?

Listen, Ramrom, I didn't force you to do anything.

You took advantage of me.

And don't call me Ramrom like I'm your girlfriend.

Listen. You know who I am and what I can do to you. Got it?

Let's not talk this way. I fear no one but God. Understood?

Plus, I'm in love with you. I love you.

How much do you want to forget this?

I want to hang out with you.

Listen, don't be afraid. I'll delete the photos.

Don't worry. Just go home.

I love you. Believe me.

Hello.

Hi, how are you?

I'm fine. How is it going there?

It's good. Your mom and Mona are in the hospital. I've just talked to them.

The doctor gave her an induction. Hopefully, she'll recover soon.

I'm waiting for Joe to finish his breakfast.

Then we'll go to the hospital if there's still time.

Well, good.

When will you return?

I don't know. It depends on Mona's condition.

You all don't have to stay. You can come back if you want.

Mom will stay with her.

The boy's got a school to attend and you have the factory.

I see. Don't worry. It's all under control.

Right, but it's different when you're here.

I can't understand this romantic side of you. It confuses me.

I can't tell if you're kidding or not.

Take care of yourself and don't stay too long in Beirut.

Bye.

Listen, Essa.

I want my mother's factory to remain as it is.

The new factory will be owned by the boy and his mother.

I want to manufacture everything.

But other factory owners will storm us with criticism.

Many people want to see us fail.

How can we convince them that this is not money laundering?

Listen, you know me. I don't care about people's talk or about money.

I will not replace my line of work for another.

It needs some time but it's doable. We can do it.

I want you to do something about that dirtbag , Najjar.

I don't want him to say anything about my uncle anymore.

Don't you think it's time for him to go?

It isn't.

Tell me directly and honestly. Will we get rid of him or not?

It's not the time now.

I called the family elders. They're all coming. Chahine is on the way.

Good.

Excuse me.

Hey, Mom, it seems like Dad wants you to bring too many stuff today.

These are your stuff.

You're not welcome in the house that you betrayed.

What do you mean, Mom?

It means that you've chosen the sons of the Syrian woman.

If you stay in this house, I won't stay.

Do you need anything, madam?

Listen to me.

Since the moment I laid eyes on you, I knew that you're filthy.

You poisoned my daughter's mind and I went along with her

even though her brother wasn't satisfied.

I thought that if you come into our house, you might become a good human being.

But as the saying goes,

"A dog's tail can never be straightened."

Excuse me!

You've been ungrateful to us because you're greedy.

You always want more.

That's not true. I love Mona.

You're a liar!

If you really loved her,

you'd never let her do that to her family and antagonize her brother.

I let her go back to you

only because I didn't want her to be called a divorced woman

and because she was a pregnant.

But that's it. She's not pregnant anymore,

which means I don't care about you.

So, keep your mouth shut, speak no more.

If Mona still wanted you, she would've let you into the operating room.

I swear to God, I'd accept more to see her divorced

than married to a man like you.

She's doing fine.

Thank you.

-How is she, Doctor? -Rest assured, everything is okay.

She's conscious now, if you'd like to see her.

Yeah, I made the reservation. We're heading to the airport in a while.

See? It was easy. You're very lucky.

Yeah, very weird. I didn't see that coming.

Don't be surprised. Now you can travel anytime you want.

I didn't like to travel this way, but I don't have a choice.

I'll call you once I get to the airport.

Mom, I'm ready.

Me, too.

Welcome, come on in.

-You're welcome. Come on in. -Assalamu alaikum.

Welcome, Abu Ghaleb. Welcome, Abu Emad. Welcome.

-It's an honor to have you here. -Assalamu alaikum.

Assalamu alaikum.

You're welcome. Come on in. Welcome, dignitaries of Al Hayba.

Sakher.

It's an honor to have you.

Assalamu alaikum.

Peace be upon you. Welcome, Abu Khaled. Come on in.

Where's Chahine?

As usual, he's not answering his phone.

Did he say he's coming?

Yes. Want me to go bring him?

Go.

Welcome, our honorable guests.

We appreciate your visit. Welcome!

Why did you take a taxi? Where's your car?

Nobody was there. I didn't want to be late for you so I took a taxi.

Well, call Abu Ali. He'll meet you halfway.

It's okay, no need. We're almost there, but the traffic is heavy.

I'm calling to tell you not to come.

But it's okay. Mona is feeling ill.

She may feel better when she sees the boy.

Of course. You're right.

Joe's here. Want to talk to him?

Okay.

Talk to Nana.

Hi, Nana. What's up?

Something doesn't add up.

AIRPORT SECURITY

It's not possible that Jabal Sheikh Al-Jabal

would leave the country under his real name.

This is the intel we have, sir.

Cross-reference the name. This is a huge family. There must be some mistake.

Got it.

If you're afraid of blood, don't be here.

You'd better go inside.

Isn't it early for Eid Al-Adha?

Early indeed.

This is the family gathering.

It's definitely not a wedding ceremony.

It's not that different.

Go inside. It will get messy here.

I'm not afraid of blood.

I saw people die in front of me.

Wow.

You don't look like it.

I'm not easy. Appearances can be deceiving.

Abu Ahmad.

Abu Ahmad!

Hello, Chahine. Come in.

Call the police. Tell them there have been gunshots.

Gunshots? Where? I heard nothing.

Hey!

Man!

You heard that, Abu Ahmad?

Make that phone call.

And I want a cup of tea, please.

Oh, God, help me.

One tea.

Thank God we survived days

that were much worse and severe.

Let it be known that we endured

and didn't bend the knee to anyone.

Right?

-That's right. -Right.

I heard that...

some people are secretly planning for something dirty.

And it saddens and grieves me that those people,

unfortunately,

were once treated by me like partners and family.

But they went ungrateful.

I'm not saying that business will cease to continue.

But to be honest, and I've always been honest with you,

business won't be as it was before.

Not until we discipline those thieves

and find a new partner that doesn't get us all in troubles.

But most people deal with weapons now.

Don't disappoint me, Abu Akram.

Some of them deal with drugs, just so you know.

I'm telling you, dealing with drugs and weapons is more lucrative.

And it's easy money.

But easy come, easy go.

You'll have to keep your finger on the trigger all your life.

You either kill or get killed.

And let it be known, that Dorayd's house is still burning up there until now.

I have always been saying

that we're clans, not a gang.

We're families, not gangs.

I must provide you with peace of mind and a life of dignity.

I swear what happens to you, happens to me.

But this time, peace of mind requires going to war.

If any of you thinks that he's not up to the upcoming war,

he'd better bury his gun.

But I, Jabal Sheikh Al-Jabal,

say that I fear no one but God.

-Go for it, Jabal! -We're all with you!

We'll sacrifice our lives for you.

-We stand shoulder to shoulder! -You lead and we follow.

-Our lives for you! -Thank you.

Very brave!

Mommy, what gate are we at?

It's okay, Mom. She must have lost the way and returned home.

If that's true, why is her phone turned off?

Mom, we're in a clinic not a hospital.

I'm very tired.

Let's go home.

It's obvious. He wanted to get caught on purpose.

He got crazy when his father refused to talk to him.

Tell me, what do we do?

We'll fix it, of course. Everything is doable.

But he'll be in prison for nearly a week or ten days.

Yeah, let him be. And let him share a cell with his father.

Do your best to transfer him there. Let him get this over with.

And when you see him, tell him I'm not pleased at all.

This is childish.

Got it.

I'm going to see if his family needs something.

Okay.

Who wants to be imprisoned willingly?

The detainee says that he wasn't shooting at anyone.

CAPTAIN TAWFIQ DAW

And that those gunshots were a celebration of good news.

Tell me, big boy. What's the good news you heard?

INTERROGATION ROOM

What's gotten into you? Why didn't you have someone watching by her house?

Amin used to pick her up. I thought she would call him.

Still, you could've left some men.

If you're mom isn't comfortable with me staying,

I'll come to check on you. It's okay.

No, it's not my mother. When I feel better, I'll call you.

You don't want me to check on you?

Don't call me either. When I feel better, I'll call you.

What's happening to you, Mona?

Nothing is happening yet.

And speak no more. I'm not in a good shape to argue.

Please.

She must be lost or maybe her phone battery died.

Don't worry, Mom.

Don't you ever worry.

Listen, I have all the clan members gathered in my place. All is well.

Well, see you.

-Nescafé. Thank you. -Okay.

Rima.

Surprise!

You're crazy.

Yes, about you.

What are you doing here?

How did you know anyway?

Come on, sweetie. You told me everything in one hour.

Have you forgotten?

But I didn't tell you about my family,

and I didn't tell you what my cousin did to Essam.

Yes, you did. But I don't care.

I'm not Essam.

What do you want now?

I want nothing. I just want us to be together.

And if I say no?

Will you blackmail me with those photos?

Me?

No one blackmails their lovers.

No, they just tape them secretly.

Come on, calm down. I got you a present.

Listen. Things don't work this way.

Give me some time to think.

You have all the time in the world. I'm not in a hurry.

I just want us to be together.

You can't be seen here.

I'll go to Beirut. I'll call you from there.

You promise?

I promise.

And the present.

Don't show up here.

Yeah.

I see.

Is the passport stamped or not?
