Original subtitles

Yeah.

I see.

Is the passport stamped or not?

I told Majdi not to come to the house or talk to me unless I call him.

That's even better.

You're better off without him.

Once you get better, we'll return together to Al Hayba.

No, Mom.

I don't want to return to Al Hayba.

Jabal has killed my son.

It isn't the right time for this.

And I don't want you to say something like this ever. Understood?

Aunt Mona!

You are here?

Okay.

Keep doing what you do. Follow Chahine's case, okay?

I've been calling for two hours.

My phone battery died.

And we got stuck in traffic. I didn't want to keep you waiting.

So I came here.

You should've called your husband. He must be worried sick about you.

I'll call him.

I'm glad you made it.

Thank you.

But why?

I'll tell you later. You rest now.

Why did you do this, Chahine?

Try to understand me, Jabal.

You could've talked to me first.

You wouldn't have agreed, and I had no other choice.

Listen, man. I'm trying to gather people around me

and you got yourself locked up. What is this?

I didn't have a choice.

Didn't you think of your mother and you sister?

They have you, Jabal.

My case is easy. I won't be here for long.

I've been thinking of keeping you locked in for two or three months

until you learn some manners.

Men don't fear prison.

Yeah, stupid men like you.

Get lost now. You ruined my mood.

I really didn't have a choice.

Well, I hope this ends well for you.

My love, don't be upset.

My men act like children. They don't value time.

Sorry for asking to see you in an inappropriate time.

They get in trouble and I have to get them out.

And when I blame them, they accuse me of being tough.

Nothing in life goes without judgment.

Calm down, my love. Do you want to go?

I'm sorry. I ruined your day, didn't I?

No, don't worry about it.

We can't keep seeing each other in places like this.

We've got to find a new house to meet in.

And this time, I'll decorate it myself. You could come anytime you want.

Okay? Calm down.

Let's go.

I'm not being stubborn.

I'll stay in Beirut. I want to work. I don't need anybody's help.

This decision of yours is nothing but being stubborn.

The one thing I was afraid of has already happened.

I have nothing to lose.

You will keep me worried about you.

Mom, I want you to trust me.

I won't return home and ask for Jabal's forgiveness.

I didn't do anything wrong.

He punished me for helping Alia, then he married her in the end.

Don't interpret things irrationally.

Enough, Mom.

Forget it.

Do you really think that Jabal has killed your son?

It doesn't matter what I think.

When he placed his hand on my belly and squeezed it,

I was scared to death.

I kept having nightmares about him.

Have you told this to your husband?

No.

I told no one. But I wanted to tell you so you won't force me to return.

Well, as you want.

But, please, don't you ever say such things again.

Understood?

This will stay carved in my heart.

I hope he doesn't do the same to Alia and lose her.

Mom is ready. She'll meet us halfway on the road.

Oh, cute boy! Give auntie a kiss.

What is it, Essa? It's been five days already.

What can I do if you didn't think this through?

Guess what? Unlucky for you, it's a recess of courts.

Listen, Essa. Please stop fooling around. Tell me, what is it?

Chahine,

you'll be transferred today.

But how long you'll stay,

that I don't know. It depends.

Couldn't you just say that from the beginning?

See you.

-Welcome home, Mom. -Thank you.

-Welcome home. -Thank you.

-Where's your brother? -He's on the way.

Is this a test?

No. I'm just telling you.

I called the lawyer about cancelling the lawsuit.

What else did you and your mother plan for?

My mother and family have nothing to do with this. That's my decision.

I want to sell the house as well.

I'll start some business.

Business?

Yeah, business.

I want to build a website.

I graduated from journalism school.

I was going to be the journalist of the future.

Don't you feel that you're being a little dramatic?

This drama used to be your words.

"You're the journalist of the future, Mona."

Do you need me to remind you?

Fine, okay. This isn't why we're here anyway.

No, we are here for this.

I'm telling you what I'm going to do with my life.

You're welcome to be part of it.

If you don't want to, it's your call.

But don't try to convince me with anything.

In a nutshell, I have nothing now.

No inheritance, house, or money.

I have a long-delayed ambition. Now is the time for it.

So, you make up your mind about this.

Listen, Mona.

I understood the distressed state you were in.

I slept in a hotel until your mother left.

I didn't do anything while she was berating me, but enough is enough.

You'll achieve nothing of the things you just said.

You can ask for divorce while you're at it.

You know what, I was postponing it.

But maybe you're right, now is the time for it.

There's nothing between us. Nothing's left but the divorce.

Thanks for the lunch.

Sit down, Mona. It's not that simple!

Yes, it is.

Listen, we're not in the village. I can't threaten you with my brothers.

We're in the city. There are law and courts.

If you leave now, you'll never see me again.

How unfortunate!

You're bargaining with me to see you?

The proof of the pudding is in the eating.

-Say something. He loses every day. -You talk as if you're a winner.

Didn't we win that time?

No.

-You are talking to my partner. Play! -We were playing together.

This is not good.

Hello.

I came to you, Dad.

Somebody tell that man that he's not welcome here.

Didn't you hear that?

Sit down, boy.

Get him out of here.

I'm Chahine Ghazi Sheikh Al-Jabal.

You just dare to move a muscle.

No one dares to beat him?

Out!

Come on!

She must know some people in the German embassy, right?

Right.

We'll try and talk to them. If that don't work,

we'll have you registered in the refugee program and you'll travel to Canada.

I hope so! Canada is way better.

Plus, German is very hard. My brothers find it difficult to learn.

Then, I'll have a residence

and I'll be able to travel to see my parents anytime.

I hope so. I think you better start learning some English.

Yes, I have a book called Learn English in Five Days.

Yeah, and we'll close schools for you, Hanady.

I mean, I'll revise what I learned in school.

But you better learn it right.

Come on, girl.

You have to relax. Nothing has happened yet.

At least there's hope.

I'll talk to my mother.

Sure, say hi to her.

Are you relieved now?

Thank God for everything.

Your sister is angry with you.

She'll get busy with her life, she'll forget about it.

I hope so.

Because it will be a problem if she didn't forget.

Jabal.

Yes.

I know that you'll never think of hurting any of your siblings,

especially Mona.

But strictness has limits, son.

Some people are irreplaceable once we've lost them.

Especially if they are a brother or a sister.

Time will reveal everything.

Do you know where Alia went for those two hours?

It doesn't matter where she went. What matters is that she came back.

Alia is good, son. Don't let go of her.

God bless you, Mom.

This house is nothing without you.

God bless you.

Everyone, get back to your places.

I'm Chahine, Dad.

Chahine Ghazi Sheikh Al-Jabal.

You look nice.

What are you doing?

Combing your hair.

I'll explain the romantic role that you're not good at.

You don't have to.

Take it easy, please.

I'd like to play the role of the husband who asks his wife, "Where are you?

What are you doing now?

Where have you been?

Why was your phone suddenly off?"

You're not good at combing. You're doing it wrong.

If I had scissors, I'd do it much better. Many things need to be cut.

Well, if this is what you want.

You take a pleasure in cutting people off.

You caused an alert at the airport. Did you know that?

I could've made a much bigger problem and traveled.

And why didn't you?

I didn't want to travel this way.

But you thought about it.

Didn't they tell you that I didn't check in?

And just so you know, I made Joe a new passport.

I put it in the same drawer where you hid the old one from me.

I trusted you.

You didn't keep your word.

My son and I were about to die

while you were with your dentist girlfriend.

What? Don't say you weren't with her.

Listen, the jealous role doesn't fit you.

This isn't the point. You promised to protect us.

My son and I were nearly killed because of you.

So don't blame me for what I did. And I still didn't travel.

The ambush was a coincidence.

Were you with her? Yes or no.

Why do you care if I was with her or not?

You could just be honest with me and tell me that she's your girlfriend!

That Ghada is my dentist. That's it!

Enough, Jabal! I'm not a fool!

Don't cover your mistake.

This is what you want,

to make all people look wrong except you.

We had an arrangement. Will you hold your end or not?

I can't keep acting anymore.

My life isn't a drama show.

These are years of my life going to waste. If you don't care, I do.

What arrangement are you talking about?

Every day, your mother asks me to bear your child.

Everybody is anxious for this boy. What arrangement? What foolishness!

How? Tell me how can I play the role of a pregnant woman

when you have a problem and everybody knows that!

What people say is the least of my concerns.

Why didn't you leave? Tell me.

I couldn't.

I felt...

No more acting.

Tell me, will you keep loading and unloading this weapon?

And how does this bother you?

Why are you upset?

I'm free to load and unload them anytime I want.

It's none of your business!

What happened to you?

Since the incident,

you don't do anything but keep loading and unloading this weapon.

You want me to go out and get abducted?

For sure, if Jabal knows you're involved in this,

he'll get to you right here, right now.

Don't open the door.

What's wrong?

"What's wrong?"

If it's somebody we know, they'd call. They are treacherous.

You know what? Jabal has killed you without even shooting one bullet.

Mrs. Somaya, is the water available today?

Where are they? The food will get cold.

It's okay. I'll reheat it. No problem. They're newly married. Let them be happy.

Where's your husband?

He's a little tired. He's not hungry.

Let's eat.

Here you are.

Pour me a little, son.

I should have named you ox and not hawk.

Your men are cowards, Dad.

They are criminals. But this isn't what I mean.

If you mean the brains, I have it all.

If you had some brain, you wouldn't have done what you did.

If my brain was like a computer, I would have done the same.

I regret not doing it for a long time ago. I was dying to spend a day with you.

Enough, son. Let it go.

One hour of freedom is worth a lifetime in prison.

I don't want you to be locked in here like me.

You'll make my case even worse.

Jabal won't abandon us, Dad.

Get up. Take a bath.

I'll have the men heat some water for you. Get up.

Wow, right on time. I need a cup of tea. Thank you.

Want me to give you a massage while we're at it?

That would be nice. These things don't need asking.

You can drink.

Thanks.

No sugar.

Have mercy on me, Alia.

I like you saying my name when you're cool.

Alia.

Nice.

It's even better when both of us quit acting.

I wasn't acting from the beginning.

RIP ADEL SULTAN SHEIKH AL-JABAL

May he rest in peace, Master.

Dad, their intentions weren't good.

They didn't want a partner. I was there.

They wanted someone to traffic and protect their stuff across the borders.

That's all.

As if we were customs or border patrol. I don't know.

Plus, Jabal did all what...

Here you are.

Jabal did all what he did so that we could be partners, Dad.

Not carriers and drivers.

Jabal is a partner. What about you?

Jabal's partner.

He never treated me otherwise.

I'm getting paid with all my shares. No more, no less. Why would I betray him?

Because he betrayed me.

Dad, do you remember Jabal well?

What do you want me to remember?

When I was out, he was still a boy who's learning.

The Syrian woman and her brother are the problem.

Dad, I lived with him. I know him very well.

By the way, Jabal threatened his uncle.

He told him that if he sets foot in Al Hayba, he'll kill him.

He trusted me with that.

He said in front of the whole family that you are the head of the family.

And when you are free, you're the master of all.

Don't you have anything else to talk about except Jabal?

You have no one in mind except Jabal.

If you ever thought like me, you'd feel much different, Dad.

Never speak his name here. No one likes Jabal here.

You double-crossed them.

If they get the chance, they'll kill you.

We have two big orders. We shipped one with our trucks.

They will send trucks for the other one.

The trucks must be on the way.

Well, okay. Very good.

You have a guest in the office.

-Okay. -Go ahead.

I have good news for you.

Oh, Lady Marie! I'm sorry. I forgot about our meeting.

Don't worry. I'll come to you.

Have a seat.

How are you doing? How's JoJo?

He's giving me a headache.

Don't tell me his car got stolen again?

I wish. That would be less troubling.

Hanady, will you please help Amin with the order?

What's going on?

I'm really embarrassed.

Since he took the car from Jabal, he kept it parked in front of the house.

He checks on it nearly ten times a day. He doesn't move it.

I didn't know what's with him.

Until he woke up today and saw it damaged.

He rushed to me saying, "Debb will kill me!"

I got him to calm down and I had him explain things to me.

Jabal didn't want to make me upset, but I'm really embarrassed.

It's okay. Don't worry.

I'll return the car to him and pay all the repairing expenses.

But, please, let him forgive JoJo. I want nothing from him.

It's okay. Don't worry.

But don't let JoJo get away with this.

JoJo? He won't be getting a dime from me.

If he wants a car, he has to work and pay for it.

You're right.

It's Jabal. Want to talk to him?

No, please. I can't. I'm really embarrassed.

Speak of the devil.

Where are you?

At the factory.

Listen and do as I tell you exactly.

Wherever you are, lock yourself in and don't go out till I come to you. Okay?

Where's Lady Alia?

She's inside, a little busy. She has a guest.

But it's okay. You can load the truck.

Yeah, it's okay. Load the truck, guys.

Yes, Master. Tell me.

What?

What's going on?

Listen, old man. I just want the girl.

What girl are you talking about?

Don't play smart on me!

Yes, Sakher. Listen to me.

Send all the men you have. I'm on my way. Don't argue with me.

Do it now!

-Yes, Alia. -Jabal, they're shooting.

-Where are you? -I'm in the office. I locked the door.

Jabal, they're here.

Don't panic. I'm on my way to you.

Faster. I'm on my way to you.

Jabal, they're striking the window!

Get away from it. You hear me? I'm coming.

-Don't panic. -Help me, please!

Get away from the window!

Don't panic. Okay?

Holy mother of Jesus!

Alia. Alia!

Faster!

I want the girl and I'll be on my way.

Do you see any girls here?

You shut up!

We said there are no girls here. Why don't you understand?

What do you say we take you instead?

Will you dare do so?

Search every inch of the factory.

Master, shouldn't we wait for our men to arrive?

-What happened? -They didn't find the girl. They left.

Jabal!

I'm fine.

I don't know where Hanady is.

It's okay. Good thing you're fine.

What are you doing here?

Get in the car.

It was me who talked to them. They said they're here for the order.

I asked them if they were the camp people and they said yes.

That's it?

And you just let them in.

Since when do we let trucks load from here, huh?

Actually, I misunderstood you, Master.

But they said they were the camp people.

What camp?

We used to give away yogurt to camps.

And why don't I know this?

It's okay. I'll explain later.

Did you recognize any of them?

Honestly, I didn't.

Apparently, they had orders not to hurt anyone.

They came in and searched the factory, but they didn't find the girl.

They made a phone call then left. But they caused some damage.

How did they know the girl was here?

I really don't know, Master.

Well, I'm not done with you yet. Go now.

Right away, Master.

No. They didn't hurt his wife or any of his men.

They left the area. Yes, they're far away.

Let's see how he'll react.

Chahine! God help you with staying here.

I only stayed for ten minutes, and I was about to get suffocated.

Yes, I know that.

Now you value freedom, don't you?

Tell me what's going on. What about that notification?

Listen, Chahine.

Somebody filed a lawsuit against you. They have some evidence.

How's that?

Let's get you out of here first.

Then you'll attend court hearings.

Who filed that lawsuit?

I have no idea.

-How's Jabal? -Jabal?

Jabal can't stand you. He hates your guts.

When I told him, he went crazy.

He said that you deserve this and more, for you went in here willingly.

Now what?

Poor Marie, she was terrified.

It's okay. Nothing happened.

How could you do such a thing? How could you risk going inside alone?

Want me to wait till they kidnap you? You're my wife.

I even got you this. It's like I felt something bad was going to happen.

What's this?

What's that? It's a gun.

I know. But every one of you is carrying a canon, and you give me this?

What do I do with it? Use it as a toothpick?

Fine.

Try this. You might like it.

It's so heavy. Let's stick with this one.

Okay. That fits you more. Keep it.
