"Episode 8"

- Turn the light on, Mohamad - Yes, sir

Turn on the light

Can't you sleep?

Well, I can't but sleep

Or as you say I can only sleep

No one can sleep soundly if his mind is troubled

You are right

Your matter took some time to move forward

What do you mean?

I am saying that this time you are done here

Your stay with us is over

Unfortunately, there is nothing here to condemn you

But your uncle Jamal didn't spare a thing

He came like a wrecking ball

But after investigating thoroughly

We were able to identify the owner of the goods

and whom they were meant to

Which means that as far as I am concerned, I am innocent

Here, yes, but you are wanted in your country Lebanon

We should be handing you over to the Lebanese General Security

We should be handing you over to the Lebanese General Security

There you will face a bigger problem

- You know that very well - Yes, I know that

Anyway, there is better than here

You will be locked up in a small room

Had it been for me and I found any evidence against you

and you were the one responsible for smuggling this shit to the country

I swear by my late brother, the martyr and all the country's martyrs

I have left you here to rot and die

You will be leaving at sunrise Write your last memories on the wall

Get ready to leave do you understand?

Excuse me

You said you know the owner of the goods

Tell me, who entrapped me?

It won't do you any good now

If you're lucky and served your sentence in Lebanon

And lived long to see another day as a free person

You will know your enemy, Sultan's son

"As such, Jabal was detained for 2 years in Syria"

- How much are these? - Same amount like last month

- Did you pay the workers? - They all got paid, madam

We paid for the farms

Invoices for the milk and all dairy products are written down

- If you want to check them - Impossible, Jawad

I did not mean that I was just asking

Long may you live, madam

- I am going to leave now - Why don't you stay for lunch?

I hope this house will stay full Um Jabal

but I need to get back to the factory I will have lunch with the guys

May God be with you

Madam, please, if you need anything do not spare us

We will always be indebted to Mr. Sultan may he rest in peace

I swear

May he rest in peace and may you never want for anything

Indeed

Oh son, can't you wait for lunch? It will be ready soon

I told him so, his stomach will rot with all this dry food

Abu Ali

Take some money

Check with your wife what we need and get them from the market

Sure, anything else?

- Those are for you and your wife - This is too much, Um Jabal

Don't say that, we're one big family

Send some of it to your son, Ali

- Um Ali, make a shopping list - Sure, I am on it

They will inform us when he will reach the Syrian borders

No, no news should be leaked that we will take him

Procedures take some time, but as soon as he is here consider him done

My respect, sir

Um Ali? Najah?

Um Ali? Najah?

Najah?

- Where are you? - She's busy

- What do you want? - My room is a mess

- Let her clean it up - Why don't you clean it?

- You need a thousand helpers - I am busy, I have to go

Really? Are you going to attend the wedding of Abu Ahmad's son?

No, don't worry I am going to see my mother

- You visited her yesterday - So what?

I want to visit her everyday

This is a house here and not a hotel

- What do you mean? - It means...

That if there is nothing urgent for you to go out

You shouldn't be visiting her everyday

You are a married woman You should follow traditions

Yes, I need to go

I want to end this masquerade I'm living

I will ask my uncle to come over today and inform you officially

What do you mean?

I mean I will soon get rid of you and you of me

According to traditions!

Hurry up, come on hurry up, there is not enough time

Oh no, hold the ladder for your brother, he will fall down!

Carry on, carry on, I hope to repay you during your weddings

Come on, guys come on, hurry up

Finish everything quickly We're running out of time

You need to prepare yourselves and get dressed, come on!

Move faster, you two come on

- Hello, guys - Congratulations, Abu Ahmad

We've done nothing yet You are our first clients

Where is the bridegroom? I don't see him here

- He's at home, getting ready - Okay

We'll pass by later on to congratulate him, aren't we invited?

Of course, you are we're family

Thank you, thank you so much Abu Ahmad

Listen brother we won't keep you for long

- What do you want? - As usual

I am sorry, I can't this time

Tell him, tell him that it's the beginning of the month

I know it's the beginning of the month

But today's my son wedding

As you can see I have expenses to cover

As you can see, Abu Ahmad because today is your son's wedding

Figure something out and spare yourself troubles

Or else neither you nor your family will enjoy the wedding

Come on!

So, Abu Ahmad, don't you want to invite us for a drink?

I would love to but today we closed earlier

As we are preparing for the wedding

Great, it's the right amount Let's go

- Hey, man, let's stay for a while - But we haven't finished yet

You're right, let's finish early so we can attend the wedding

- We want to celebrate and dance - Dance?

I want to be the first to celebrate the bridegroom, Ahmad

- The son of the dear Abu Ahmad - Sure, we will, let's go

Great, you're on time

- Where is your father? - He's at the store

Great, shall we pay him a visit first?

- Let's pay him a visit first - Come on, let's go

- When will we get rid of them? - Not only them

But their bosses too May they be cursed!

Last time I went with them we stayed till dawn

We brought all the goods you wanted

Of course, I didn't say a word to the guys

I intended to tell you first

I intended to tell you first

That's why you didn't go with them today?

I thought I will seize the opportunity since there's no work today

They will be busy collecting money and I came to tell you

Where is the letter?

What letter?

Your resignation letter so I will sign it

You know what happens to the deserters?

I am not a deserter, boss You treated me well

I'll always be indebted to you

If you need anything else, I will do it

Anything else? Why shall I need you for?

Do you want to wash the dishes and give me a massage?

I beg you boss, please my mother and father are old

And my wife just gave birth

You know how dangerous our work is

I am the only man in the house they have no one else

You are working to provide for them

It's true you're working hard for us but we are paying you well for that

If it wasn't for me, you would be still harvesting weed with the peasants

And have no money to feed your wife so she can feed your boy

There is no use for money If I am tempting death everyday

I leave my house without knowing if I will be back

Even if you die, we don't abandon families of our dead guys

- You know that - Look what happened with Zafer

He got caught driving your car in Damascus

They killed him

We all stood there doing nothing for his hungry family

So?

I can't tempt death for my sake and the sake of my children

Listen, Wahid

I'm going to consider this an day off for you

Go and rest next to your wife

Come back tomorrow focused so we can carry on with business

I'm sorry, boss please forgive me

I can't carry on working like this

I don't want my son to be orphaned for some money

You are working for me

We are all working for money

- Hello, Wahid - Hello, guys

Excuse me

I am leaving

- Barhoom? - Yes, boss?

Follow him, and kill him deal?

Consider it done

- What happened with you? - Everything is fine

- As you wanted - Did anyone cause troubles?

- Or rebelled or refused to pay? - Who would dare?

Oh, yes, I just recalled Abu Ahmad didn't want to pay

And then?

He paid, as usual

Didn't you know why he didn't want to pay?

Not that, but he said that he has lots of expenses for his son's wedding

If so, he's right

Go with the bastard on my behalf, and congratulate him

And celebrate in front of everyone at the wedding

- We should share their joy - Consider it done, boss

I don't know what to say

Listen, Abboud, I don't have the right to receive such an amount

without Chahine's knowledge don't give me a hard time

Please, I beg you, I have to finish some business and return before dark

Wait man, it's still very early drink your tea

He will be here shortly and you will talk to him

He's here, see?

Indeed, right on time as we say in Damascus

- Welcome, Chahine - How are you?

- Take a seat - Thank you

- Welcome - Thank you

To be honest I didn't want to bother you

But Mr. Fanous, didn't want me to leave the money with him

- What money? - What do you mean by what money?

Your share for smuggling goods, boss Here you go

- It's less than usual - True, Mr. Chahine

Because smuggling goods is now costing us double than before

Especially, after we relocated the warehouses

- What do I have to do with this? - It's none of your business

nor is it my business It's no one's business

But I am telling you that the situation in Damascus is chaotic

We're being watched especially nowadays

If you don't believe me call your relative, ask him

- What do you mean by "relative"? - Mr. Jamal, isn't he your relative?

- Call him and ask him - Listen to me

Jamal has nothing to do with it If I was working with him

I wouldn't have talked nor worked with you ever

Okay, don't get mad, what do you want? I am at your service

Take your money when I receive the goods

I will smuggle them and you will pay me later

But as far as I know the goods are about to arrive

- They surely passed the mountain - How's that? Who sent them?

Seriously? Abu Salma sent his men early in the morning

They must have passed your lands now

Take the money I swear I will compensate you

- Where is Sami? - Your brother's gone to help them

- To help them? What for? - What for?

Have you forgotten that today it's the wedding of Ahmad, Safwan's son?

True, I remembered I totally forgot

You remembered? Come on finish eating quickly

We will barely have time

Time for what, mother?

To get dressed and go to the hairdresser

I saw a dress in your closet yesterday you never wore before

I'm sorry, I can't go You can go alone

You want me to go alone? Why? Tell me?

- What happened? - Nothing, mother

But I am not in the mood to go anywhere

I don't want to see lovebirds nor attend weddings

This is unacceptable It's a wedding for Alsaeed family

- Your uncle will be sad - Stop it, mother

You keep on saying my uncle will be sad My uncle this and my uncle that

What shall we do if they notice our absence?

- What will your uncle say? - Don't worry

- I called him, he's on his way - You called him? Why?

- Fereira? - Hello, boss

What's with those two trucks?

- As usual, boss, as usual - What do you mean by as usual?

How did you let them pass without telling me?

- I am talking to you - I don't know what to say, boss

I thought you were in the loop

Because no one dares to pass if he didn't confer with you first

Especially if the goods are on behalf of Abu Salma

Abu Salma, Abu Salma

Listen to me, from now on you don't let anything pass

- Without telling me, understood? - Sure, boss

Welcome, Abu Nidal welcome son, come in

Tell me, what's wrong with Sumaya?

Hello, uncle

Everything will be fine don't worry

What's wrong, cousin? Anything new?

No, nothing It's the same old story

Again? Do you want to discuss your marriage and in-laws?

- I want to end this - What do you mean?

I want to file for a divorce from Jabal

Come son, take a seat and take it easy

Listen to me, Abu Salma

Out of respect for you, I let it pass without getting in trouble with your men

May we stay out of trouble, son I can't get why are you so angry?

Since when do you pass goods from our lands without our knowledge?

You're right

But believe me, things happened fast

But usually, this isn't accepted

It isn't if I am fooling you

It isn't if I am fooling you

and smuggling goods without your knowledge and not giving you your share

But on the contrary, the trucks passed in front of your men

- I sent you your share with Abboud - Abboud

Who's he? I didn't recognize him Is he going to handle our accounts?

I don't know him either

Had it not been for the disagreement with your cousin Jabal

I would have only dealt with Jamal

and for your sake and your father's I'm trying to figure things out smoothly

Is my dad in the loop?

Your dad appointed you and I am working with you

When your father is released from jail

We will discuss everything

- Any good news? - Hopefully, I am working on that

My friends at the parliament are aware of everything

I told you, you can rely on me

Hopefully everything will be fine

Come in

- Hello, boss - Welcome, Hawlo

May I be excused?

Listen...

As I said

Take everything positively we're on the same side, Abu Ghazi

Goodbye, dear Take care

- I can't stand him - It's fine, what's up?

Everything is fine, people are all busy with the wedding of Safwan's son

Great, may the celebrations reign

We want the people to be happy and festive

Indeed

- This is the monthly fee - You paid your men?

I did

- You took your share? - Yes, sir

Great

I want you to go to Samira's and choose two nice ones

- to send them to Beirut - I'll call her to prepare them

No, you go there and choose them yourself

They called us form Beirut especially for that

Don't worry, I'll handle it

Yes, yes, roger that

Sir, Jabal reached the Syrian borders but there are still some procedures

No, no, what are you saying?

You're crazy, rubbish! This is nonsense

- Dad, Sumaya's right - Shut up!

- You planned this together? - Uncle, Nidal has nothing to do with it

I am the one involved I am asking you for this

You're not the only one involved

Will we talk about the same thing over and over again?

I can't take it anymore

Isn't it enough that I agreed to this marriage until things calm down?

You want to get a divorce now and cause a mess again

Father, Jabal is in prison because of a problem no one knows how it'll end

He's been in prison for two years and she hasn't heard from him!

Not only that Legally, I can get a divorce

Your marriage has nothing to do with courts and laws

- Please, forget all about this - How am I supposed to forget it?

If every day I see them and listen to their stories

I am a stranger amongst them I will always be as such

Jabal, who's supposed to be my husband

Didn't ask about me since he went to prison

You want me to stay there? What for?

When he gets out of jail he will see his wife waiting for him

Uncle, do you think that Jabal will get out of jail?

Listen very well, Sumaya

You will not get a divorce unless Jabal divorces you

How is that possible? God knows when he will get out

It's your fate You want to get a divorce?

Wait for him to get out even for a million year

Move away

Zafer? Let him take the upper road

Give me your ID

- There you go, sir - And his Id

There you go, both of our IDs

Here's the paper, sir

I need the prisoner's ID

- He is wanted there, sir - Let me see

- He is wanted there, sir - Let me see

Jabal Sheikh Al Jabal?

- Is this Jabal Sheikh Al Jabal? - Yes, sir

Welcome

Sir, the prison's car is here

Step out of the car

- How many are you? - Two are here with me

- And three others in the car - And inside?

- There is only the prisoner - Okay, take these

- Hey you! - Roger, sir

Open the road for the Toyota, go

Sir, how can I do so If I have their IDs?

What the hell are their IDs doing with you, stupid?

Haven't I told you not to ask anyone for IDs?

- Copy that, sir - Hurry up!

Go, come on

Come on, go Open for them

I don't know

I swear, I didn't mean it like that

Let's see

Let's leave it to destiny How did we meet in the first place?

Or you don't want to leave anything for chance now?

Okay, I promise you I am optimistic here

No, nothing in particular

Okay, I need to end the call now Let's talk later

I won't forget

Okay, goodbye

Bye

With whom were you talking?

- What do you want, mother? - Answer my question

With whom were you talking? And don't you say with that snobbish guy

The guy you are taking about is Majdi

He's very polite, educated and very respectful

Seriously? When did education become paramount for men?

What are the traits of a gentleman then?

His word and macho spirit?

Mother, I saw it myself no one told me so

If you are talking about Chahine

I would have never encouraged you to get involved with him

If it wasn't for your father may he rest in peace

I will introduce you to Majdi

You'll like him and be convinced of my choice

No, I don't want to meet anybody

Aren't there enough men in Alhayba? You want to be with a stranger?

Mother, I am not doing anything wrong

- I am just doing what suits me - We are your family

What suits us, suits you

I've seen what suits you

I've seen you doing nothing when my cousin broke up with me

I've seen my cousin breaking up with me

For the sake of the family you're talking about

I've also seen Jabal overlooking all Alhayba ladies

to marry a stranger, as you said

How strange! Everything is acceptable and normal until I am involved

What do you mean? Are you defying my wish?

I will never do so

But you will meet Majdi

And you will give us your blessing

- Welcome, sir - So, guys? Is he here yet?

I have just been informed that the car passed the Syrian borders

Heading towards our borders

- Get ready, guys, stay alarmed - Don't worry, sir

What's wrong with you?

I will ask Um Ali to clean your room

No one shall touch anything in this room

This is unacceptable!

Mona...

Will you leave me alone?

Will you leave me the hell alone?

What's wrong with you? Why are you like this?

Listen to me, for God's sake

Sakher, I have no other man but you

If you won't stand by me Who will?

Did you just recall that I am a man?

When I saw everything happening no one wanted to listen to me

Now, we're both here looking at each other

We don't know what to do

I need you to sober up

As if you are

You're mocking me?

Were you serious?

Our father was murdered

Adel went away

And Jabal...

Is rotting in jail

We don't know till when

And Rima, who would rather see evil itself than me

And your fiancé...

My friend, who broke up with you

and left and never looked back

Oh cousin!

Commoners have grown and became powerful

While we, the children of Sultan Sheikh Al Jabal

Have been destroyed

Isn't that the biggest joke ever?

Please, tell me...

Speak up

Is everybody sober and I am the only one who's not?

Guys, as soon as he's out take him to the car and start with the procedures

It took a long time

"Arrest warrant"

Who's that?

- Hello, officer - Where is Jabal Sheikh Al Jabal?

Isn't Jabal Sheikh Al Jabal here? Isn't he here?

Isn't Jabal Sheikh Al Jabal here? Isn't he here?

Are you the groom? Where is the bride?

You should raise your right leg just like I am doing
