Original subtitles

Listen to me, Alia.

I don't want him to be captured because of me.

I don't want him to risk that either,

but you know your brother when he insists on something.

I know him.

That's why I don't mind if he wants to come.

This is my house, but he won't find me here.

Why is that? You really don't want to see him?

I just can't. I appreciate what you're doing.

But I can't.

You know, he said that you won't agree.

Because he knows what's right.

Come on.

The right thing wouldn't prevent two siblings from working things out.

Ask him. He'll tell you.

Anyway, I need your advice about many things.

Did you tell my mother to kick me out of the house or did she improvise?

Your mom did the right thing. You deserve more than that.

Welcome, Abu Chahine.

-Welcome, Mr. Najjar. -We finally meet.

What is this, Dad?

Calm down and listen.

I have a couple of words I want you to hear.

I'll hear nothing from you.

You were here for a shooting felony. Ten days, maximum.

But what's being plotted for you will put you in jail for ten years or more.

You're free not to listen.

Wait, man!

It's his future you're talking about. Come on.

He'll sit and listen.

We shouldn't be heading to Beirut like this, like criminals.

We shouldn't. But we did many terrible mischiefs.

Yes, Alia.

I'm on my way. I just have a little detour to make, okay?

See you.

Jabal's been exposed.

He's about to be finished.

You and your father are in danger. You'll be collateral damage.

Listen to me.

You won't deceive me with words. Understood?

Come on. I'm not selling you empty words.

They are willing to give you another chance.

But this time, you won't be a partner.

You'll have to follow orders.

Did you forget what Jabal told you?

No.

But he can't do this to me.

Honestly, I offered him help.

But he refused.

Because you're not to be trusted.

It's up to you whether to believe or not.

Jabal's days are numbered. He's going down anyway.

And you have the choice to be free.

If you refuse, you'll be wasting a chance for you and your father,

who's supposed to be free, too, and be head of the family.

These are lies, Dad.

Your son, just like your nephew, doesn't want you to be exonerated.

Stop lying! You hear me?

Chahine, easy!

He's lying, Dad.

You have two days to make up your mind.

Once you do, I'll tell you what to do.

Listen.

When Essa visits you, ask him how I told him

that I can reopen the case of Ghazi Sheikh Al-Jabal and set him free.

Ask him why he said

that Jabal doesn't want it reopened because it's not yet time.

-You heard that, Chahine? -This isn't true, Dad.

And I won't talk to men like him.

Are you serious or are you just saying that?

Want me to record Essa so that you would believe me?

He said that Jabal thinks that now isn't the time.

I mean, can you get me out?

Your son will be out first.

He has to do as told first.

Then you'll be free as a boss.

I didn't imagine that one day I'll be out in Beirut with my wife for dinner.

And above all, buying clothes.

Someone will know real soon.

That's why we shouldn't waste any time.

I want you to go somewhere.

And you?

I have something to do before dinner.

I see. Now we're talking. I don't buy that dinner thing.

-Bonsoir, monsieur. -Hello.

How may I help you?

Choose a suit and a pair of shoes that fit me, please.

You got it.

We'll see.

-Black is better, isn't it? -Of course.

Oh, my! You'll definitely get your husband caught.

Everybody will be looking at you.

Won't you change your mind and come with us?

No. This is a private dinner.

Have fun and be safe.

Come on, no more worrying.

As long as I'm there, no one will dare to touch him.

Oh, wow!

You've become very confident.

-Alia. -Yes?

Do you really have feelings for Jabal? Do you like living in Al Hayba?

I returned from the airport not because I like living in Al Hayba.

But because I felt that something has brought me to this place.

I didn't want to leave without giving myself a chance.

Jabal and I are like water and oil.

But, yeah.

I started to feel something for him.

I know our life together won't be easy.

You know, sometimes I think to myself

that everything happens to us for a reason.

And maybe fate has brought me to Al Hayba.

Will you be able to forget Adel?

Life will go on, Mona.

Just like Lady Nahed says,

"The living are more important than the dead."

But I don't know if I'll be living in Al Hayba all my life.

But this is Jabal. He's stubborn.

You can't change him.

You don't know that. Stop jinxing around.

I think I'm ready.

Here you are, Dad.

Your mother hates the Syrian woman and doesn't think straight.

I don't see what's happening outside, so I can't make the right decisions.

All the men at the borders are wrong and dumb.

The lawyer is a liar.

And the whole world is wrong except you and Jabal.

How does that make any sense to you, smart boy?

The man needs an answer.

If you don't give him one, God knows what will happen to us.

Jabal's been manipulating you for so long.

"Now isn't the time," he said to the lawyer.

It's not the time to be free!

Dad, do you want people to spit in my face shouting, "Traitor!"?

When you get out as a strong leader, no one will dare say a word.

Think of what will happen to me, your mother, and sister!

Sakher?

You don't know how much I miss you.

Welcome, madam.

Welcome. Here, madam.

You're very welcome, madam.

-Yes, Debb. -Yes, Amin.

-How are things at your end? -All good.

Keep your eyes open, okay?

Sure thing.

-Here you are. -Thanks.

Thanks.

Listen, I'm not here to pressure you.

I'll tell you something then I'll go.

I want to tell you that you're always welcome in our parents' house.

If there's anything you need, come to me.

Are these your words or Jabal's?

It doesn't matter whose words those were. It's the same.

What matters is that you know you're not alone.

Don't worry about me. I'll manage.

You stay next to our brother.

I want your word.

I'm talking to Mom every day. I know what's right and what's not.

But I'm very worried about you both coming here.

Don't be.

What do I tell Jabal?

Sending you here is good enough for me.

I love you, sister.

Did Rima talk to you recently?

Why?

I don't know. She called me today. She said she's in Beirut.

I didn't call her back.

It seems like she's in some kind of a trouble.

I don't know. She doesn't usually talk to me.

-Welcome, Master. Come in. -Thanks.

That explains the delay.

You're glowing.

What now? How much time do we have?

As much as you want. This is your day.

I deserve a day free of making any decision.

Anything, Master. Are you ready to order? The whole staff is at your command.

See what the lady wants.

Well, we'll start with two glasses of red wine. That will be all for now.

You got it.

It's an honor to have you here.

I agreed to take the risk with you, but we have to be careful.

I also worry about you, just like Mona.

She was worried you may be arrested at her house.

I told you she won't agree.

But you didn't tell me why. She said you'll tell me.

Because the older brother doesn't go to the younger one, even if he was wrong.

Why didn't you tell me this before?

I was going to see Mona, but she spared me the visit.

I appreciate that. I sent Sakher to her.

These are our traditions.

Traditions! I need another lifetime to understand them.

I hope we spend a lifetime together.

You know, this is how life with me is like.

Sometimes, you don't have to talk. Your actions talk for you.

Our life is full of danger.

You don't know if you're going to live or die.

Just like a sandglass.

You have to keep flipping it.

I'll keep flipping it.

"Don't worry about anything." Isn't that what you always tell me?

I hope things go well.

Ghada visited me today.

Listen, I don't feel like talking about her now,

especially in such occasion.

By the way, I didn't like her at all.

She didn't like you either.

I don't care.

Well, agreed.

-Hello. -Where are you?

What is it? You seem troubled.

It's late. We have to go.

We're happy.

I'm also very happy, but we don't have to get in big trouble.

Come on.

Okay.

Listen.

This is your wedding gift. It's a little late.

But there's a time for everything.

Very nice.

Okay.

It's amazing.

But I didn't get you anything.

You're the gift.

Can I call your mother?

No, why?

I want to ask her if I can kiss you in public or if it's inappropriate.

If you call her, she'll blame you for bringing me to Beirut. Forget it.

Did I bring you?

I came for you.

Well, if that is the case...

What?

If you risked your life for me,

I won't care about anything if I want to kiss you.

Not here.

You'd better get used to this. This is our tradition.

I think it's time to go.

Are you done with the hotel?

Go straight to Mona's house. Stay there until I call you.

What will you do?

I want to know the mess you made.

I told you what I did.

I won't say it again. Go to Mona's house immediately.

Okay.

Take care of yourself.

Take your car and go to Mona's.

Now.

Now!

It's too early, sweetie.

So it's you.

Excuse me?

Are you Mr. Alan?

Yes, that's me.

You didn't tell me who you are

and what you want.

I'm Sakher.

The death angel's agent on planet Earth.

As for what I want...

supposedly, the photos.

The photos...

and your life.

Wouldn't it be better if we return home tonight?

Traveling at night isn't safe. Too many checkpoints.

Daylight provides more security.

You're right.

You know, this view is amazing.

I missed Lebanon. The sea.

This view reminds me of him. May he rest in peace.

He used to say that if he had a boy, he'd name him Bahr, meaning sea.

But he named him Jabal.

I hope you have a boy and name him Bahr.

If we're to follow our traditions, we have to name him Sultan.

But if God would bless me with a boy, I'd name him Adel.

I want him to be our child.

What if she's a girl?

It doesn't matter.

A boy or a girl.

What concerns me is that I might wake up one morning

and find you at the airport.

No. I won't travel unless you come with me.

And you can't travel. So...

I'll take that as a promise.

After all that you did,

your worth is only...

this.

Your phone.

-The password. -What?

It's 5547.

55473... 554732.

You sneaky bastard.

Your phone is full of girls.

You're used to doing this.

I swear, those are my friends.

All of these...

are your friends?

I swear I'm not lying to you.

I'm going to ask you one question.

Okay.

Rima.

Did she go with you willingly or not?

Yes, willingly.

No, she refused at first then she agreed.

Details!

She was drunk.

She asked me to drive her to the hotel.

No, she was getting a taxi, but I told her I'll take her to the hotel.

In my car, we took a couple of photos.

I took the photos with my phone.

We arrived at the hotel lobby. She asked me to take her to a room.

No, I took her to a room.

But everything was cool and normal. I swear on my mother's life!

And next?

Next what?

I'll tell you what's next.

You took photos of her.

And you blackmailed her with them.

You threatened her with them.

Why? You tell me.

To get what you want?

No, I really love her. I was going to marry her.

So, congratulations.

Tell me, what do you want from me?

You know what?

This bullet...

won't be wasted on you.

Excuse me.

-Red wine, please. -You got it.

I want you...

to be proud of everything you did in your life.

Good night, sweetheart.

You're late.

Why didn't you go to Mona's?

I don't want to go anywhere or listen to anyone.

Tell me what happened.

What's supposed to happen.

I don't get it.

He's talkative.

If he had talked less, he would have saved himself a lot of pain and kept his life.

"Kept his life"?

You killed him?

What will happen now?

Nothing will happen.

You'll never talk about this again.

You'll forget about it, as if nothing has happened.

Your brother, Chahine, would have done the same thing that I did.

Let's go.

I can't believe what's happening.

Now what? Will I see him today or not?

They didn't answer me yet.

Last meeting was supposed to be yesterday.

If they didn't answer, it means it will take time.

You know, I suggest you go back. I'll handle it from here.

I'll get us a meeting with the head.

Listen, if they are stalling, I can't stay here.

Chahine won't be out soon. They're using all their influence on him.

It's all related. They won't answer in a day or week.

Fanous just called.

He said something about some tax guys who came to shut down the factory.

They have suspicions about money laundering.

I told you it's all related.

You meet with Chahine today and tell him this.

Get ready. We're going back to Al Hayba.

Of course, they want to shut down the factory

because it provides food for the poor.

Money laundering.

They are filthy.

We could've stood up to them, madam.

No.

I don't want any trouble.

But this can't be tolerated anymore.

Well, we'll have to wait for Master to arrive.

Mona?

Mona!

Mona, open the door.

Open the door, Mona.

-What are you doing here? -We need to talk.

There's nothing to talk about.

You changed the lock? Open the door now!

So, you're not here to talk.

What are you doing? Videotaping me?

Put the phone away.

Why are you afraid? You said you don't care about law or authorities.

I said open the door!

Go away or I'll call the police.

This is my house. I'll go in whether you like or not!

Your house?

Your house is rented, sweetheart.

Go find somewhere else to shelter you.

Really? Well, okay.

You'll see.

Go on, threaten me. Threaten me more. It's all being taped.

You're such a...

This is my husband, Majdi, threatening me. And this isn't the first time.

NOTICE FROM MINISTRY OF HEALTH

They left no stone unturned. They said they were searching for weed.

Yogurt and weed! How did they come up with that?

Does our yogurt come in flavors?

Did they have a court order?

Court what?

Yeah, Fanous. Answer that.

A court order. What would this dumb know about court orders?

Let them shut it down now.

But why doesn't he talk to me?

Are you crazy? You want him to talk to you right here?

They are desperate for some leads to frame you even more.

What does that mean? Will I remain stuck here?

You got yourself imprisoned willingly, if I may say.

Listen, Essa. Are you here to judge me?

No, I'm just saying.

Don't say anything. Tell me what you can do.

I've got to know who's the judge you'll appear before

so I can know how to fix this.

You'll have to wait for a while.

Wait even longer?

This is what I can do for now.

Fine.

See you.

I know things are messy now and it's all planned,

but this is the state law, not some cartel.

We can't play by the same rules.

If they play the law card, we'll use the same.

Then why did you smash the lock?

For my men.

If I had been there, I wouldn't have let them touch a thing.

And I won't let them now.

I can't work this way.

I did what I had to do.

Show me how you would deal with this.

I'd shut the factory and wait until the seal is removed legally.

Do as you like.

But I think they won't come again. That's it.

Well, can you suggest anyone who can help me with this?

Essa.

Out of the family circle, there's no one you can trust except for Essa.

Tough days are coming.

But I'll make it up to you for everything.

Okay?

Don't worry about anything.

-What are you doing, Dad? -As you see.

Whose bed is this, Dad?

Mine.

Dad, I'm talking to you. Please, look at me.

Such crucial decision doesn't need too much thinking, son.

Bring your sleeping mat next to mine.

They'll place us next to the toilet anyway.

Dad, for God's sake, get up.

Just get up. I'll do everything you want.

You're Ghazi Sheikh Al-Jabal, Dad.

It isn't appropriate for you to be seen seated next to the toilet.

For God's sake, get up.

I'll do it, Dad.

Listen.

If you break your word this time, I'll kill you and myself.
