Call the last number on the telephone.

They will confirm that we are journalists.

Officer! Call a doctor please he can't breathe!

People! Someone call an ambulance please!

Try to calm down.

People!

Take it easy.

We were arrested while we were covering events.

They have taken our camera and our mobile phones.

Zein is very unwell because he has claustrophobia.

Zein..

Are you working?

Relax, they aren't noticing us.

Make sure there's nothing else on this side.

People! People! Here in the truck! People!

It won't break!

It won't brea..

Another demonstration!

People! People! In the Truck!

Over here!

We need a phone!

- What are you doing here? - Are you arrested or what?

By mistake I swear.

- They're from the Muslim Brotherhood! - No we're not I swear. Just one phone call will sort this all out.

- What number? - Slow down Nagwa. - Look at what the other guy's doing!

Are you crazy?

- Who are you with? - We're with the press.

- Press? Press?

- Not like this! Hussam! Hussam! - Traitors! Dogs!

Everybody get their phones out.

- We are demonstrating with you. - Brothers and you're demonstrating with us? Thank you.

We really are with you. The Police and the People are One Hand!

(chanting) The Police and the People are One Hand!

Sir, my son hasn't come home for a week. I came looking for him.

- Look for him inside. - What about the ticket? - Look for him inside! - The ticket!

- Sir, sir, I have a child with me. - You threw rocks. - We didn't do anything I swear!

Come here.

Did you throw rocks?

Yes we did.

Get them inside.

Easy with the boy, easy!

Lock the door.

We didn't throw anything! We haven't done anything! It's got nothing to do with us!

There, that's mum!

Nagwa! Go away Nagwa!

Sir, where is the officer?

- Sir, my son and husband are inside.. - Your son and husband the Brothers? Leave, madam.

- What do you mean "Brothers", they haven't done anything. - Go away, madam, please.

- I won't leave without my son! - Please madam!

I won't leave!

- Nagwa no! Go! - Quiet Hussam!

I saw you in the demonstration, please leave.

You saw me in the demonstration? Yes I was in the demonstration and I was throwing rocks.

We need you out there to get us out!

Get out of my way.

By God this one will get you in the head!

- Get her inside. - This way, ma'am. - Get your hand off me. - This way!

Why Nagwa?

- What were you doing? - We weren't doing anything.

- Are you brothers? - We're press.

Press means brothers.

Who said that? What made you throw rocks at us?

Because you are liars and traitors.

- What do you mean traitors? - Then why were you arrested? - Well you're arrested with us.

- So what is this situation we're in then? - You started this, maybe they are brothers too then.

Enough all of you! Stay away from the American.

Enough, enough.

Enough it's going to be the end of us all, enough.

- It says Press. - He's not going to write on his chest that he's a spy.

Lieutenant Sir, we have a boy here.

- Show your face. - Come here Faris.

- He's just a small child! - The boy didn't do anything!

Atiya!

Gather all the troops to the cars. To the cars!

- Yes, sir! All troops to the cars! - Let's move out!

Where are we going dad?

Revolutionaries should be used to this situation we're in.

Revolutionaries die for a cause, not for a picture.

- But a picture can become a cause. - Possible.

- But I came here to make the news, not become the news. - Never mind.

- Maybe because it's the first time you work with me. - And the last time.

Is that a mobile?

Come away from them.

Hello? We've been arrested. We haven't done anything. They arrested us because they thought we were brothers.

Let dad deal with this.

Hey Ridha talk to my family make sure you don't tell my dad he'll go crazy.

- What are you doing? - Can I have the phone just for a second?

- Sorry. - I just want to reassure the family, me and Haj Salah, just one phone call.

His wife has just had a baby, he'll reassure them and also my family.

Sorry Haj, really I can't help.

Hey if we spoke to the American Embassy and told them we have an American journalist they might get us out.

If the American is going to get us out then I don't want to get out.

Are the Americans supporting the Brotherhood?

Why don't you let him talk to them?

Even if I spoke to them they won't get anyone other than me out.

If I talk to my uncle he can get us out if I talk to him.

Me too, I have an important friend who can get us out if I talk to him.

No. Let him talk to his uncle, Luwa. Give him the phone.

Who is your dad going to talk to anyway.

- What about the officer? - No officers, sheesh, out of my way.

- Call them quickly. - Get on with it.

Hello, mum. I was arrested by mistake at the demonstration. It doesn't matter how, listen to me. Talk to Uncle to get me out.

Get *us* out! Get *us* out!

Mum a few other people were arrested too. Tell Uncle about them.

Yes I've eaten, I promise, I've eaten.

He's got your phone broken.

Damn this whole thing.

The first time you go to a demonstration and we get arrested. You're bad luck.

Why him, the whole country is bad luck.

Stay out of it.

- It's broken. - Give it here. - It's definitely broken. - Give it here I'll fix it.

- What do you know? - It's my job.

He works with me in the shop fixing mobile phones, give it to him, he'll fix it. Don't worry.

Hey, is your uncle going to get us out or what?

Yes.

God bless, uncle.

Is that your mother, boss?

Be quick please it needs charging.

The phone needs charging, don't say anything if it's not going to help.

That's it. Don't worry.

Thank you Haj!

- Get down Faris! - Don't worry Nagwa I can see clearly.

One of us has to be responsible!

Responsible to get arrested with us instead of trying to get us out?

No the responsibility to bring him with you into this shit.

We've come down a hundred times and you used to bring him!

- It's not the same now as it was before. - It's done, mum. - No it's not done.

- You came down first! - And leave my son to come down by himself?

By himself? Have you gone crazy? So coming down with me is the same as coming by himself?

- Calm down, calm down. - I tell you what, everybody keeps to themselves!

- Who are you? Stay out of it! - OK, OK.

Move! Come on!

Kill them all! All of them! Don't leave any behind.

(chanting) "Islamiyah, Islamiyah!"

My mobile phone!

Get in!

Islamiyah Islamiyah! Islamiyah Islamiyah!

Get them! Those are the ones who kidnapped my son!

I didn't hit anyone!

I didn't hit anyone!

Wait! Who is this?

Father!

Father!

Father!

Dogs!

- You are the.. - Shhh!

Enough! This isn't the way!

Are you just going to look at us?

Hussam!

Help us! Help us!

Help us! Somebody open the door!

Stop it everybody! Stop it everybody! Stop!

Hit them!

What? Are you trying to kill each other and then blame us like you always do?

Sir, we're not brothers.

Of course not, I'm the one who is a Brother.

If you don't mind, there are children in the truck. If you don't let them out there will be a real problem.

My daughter is just 14 years old.

May she have a long life my friend.

- You're speaking up because you're American, right? - You're the top of the world.

I'm Egyptian.

Really? Why didn't you say so before?

Don't close the door. Watch out, if they hurt each other they'll say we tortured them and we should be brought to justice.

- If anybody tries it again, shoot them. - Yes, sir. - Move out.

Move out!

"God will have the oppressors".

"Ibrahim Fiheem 6/9/2009"

- No, no, no.. - Put up with it. - No, no, no, no! - Put up with it!

"Allah is my suffice, and He I trust the most."

Who is paying you, you grunt?

- Your mother! - Calm down you're going to cause a lot of trouble.

Let it go.

- Wala? Hey. - What do you want Mans?

Is my hair OK?

Your hair? The most beautiful thing in the world.

- Why do you do that? - You think this is the right time for it?

I don't get it. You've come down with a child?

- I'm not a child. - Child? She's a hundred men.

If you don't mind don't talk to me or my father.

Leave me I'm not a child.

People! We need a doctor.

Is there no doctor here?

Mum's a nurse.

Keep your mouth shut.

Go ahead.

Make room, make room people.

No, no, women no. No touching.

OK give me this.

- Tie it around his forehead, put pressure on it, to stop the bleeding. - God reward you.

You're happy you're here aren't you?

Of course not.

You might think you're being a hero but you might not get out of this to enjoy any recognition.

In the last few days 37 people have died in trucks like this.

You don't know me well.

Fine.

Huzaifa, there's another truck over there!

People! Brothers!

- What? - Is my father with you?

Haj Hamza el Affas!

- Huzaifa! Are you OK? - Thanks be to God, what about you?

I am fine, not the first time.

Is that your brother Malik next to you?

No, it's Thamir.

So where is your brother Malik?

- I thought he was with you. - No he isn't. - Don't worry, just take care of yourself.

Don't worry.

God be with you.

Another car is coming.

Excuse me.

People! Brothers, is Malik el Affas with you?

- No he's not here. - Has no one seen him?

- Who's your responsible officer? I'm Dr Suhaib Shukri. - Dr Suhaib! Dr Suhaib!

Is that your Amr Diab or what?

- How are you doctor sir, how are things? - Are you doing well?

- Thanks be to God. Have you organised yourselves? - Not yet.

You must begin. I want to know all the brothers who've been captured.

At once doctor.

OK, any brothers here gather together so we can organise ourselves.

- You're a Brother? - Yes.

You're a Brother with us?

- I've been with you from the beginning, I've given you my vote in the elections. - It's not about the elections, are you an organised member, with a family in the Brotherhood and you pay for membership?

No, he's a supporter and loves the Brotherhood. I'm an organised member and Mohammed is my brother.

You'll have to excuse me, we'll go to this side becasue this meeting is for organised members only.

Not long, Mohammed, not long.

If there is anybody else who is an organised member please come over and raise your hand.

Excuse me sir, could you go over there?

What's the difference son?

No problem father. God be with you.

Thank you.

Can we please introduce ourselves by name?

Thamir Numan, Al Minya municipality.

Ahmed Hashim, active member, in Gisr Matrooh family.

Huzaifa el Affas, organised member in Matariya family.

And you? Are you with us?

No.

So you're with them?

So that's the end of it, people are either with them or with you?

Could you, if you don't mind, go to the other end?

Of course, no worries. Come on Zein.

Sorry.. as you can see.. if you could release me then I can go wherever you want.

Let us go over here. Come on.

Can we finish introducing ourselves?

Moaz Sabet, member of the Imbaba office.

And I am Omar Mansoor, member of the Nasr office, for about three and a half years. And the rest of the brothers?

If that gets into anybody's eye it will ruin it.

How old are you?

Older than you.

- At school we play "soldiers and brothers"? - So do we.

When we catch a brother we'd hang him.

We would catch soldiers and cut their necks.

So Mr Moaz will organise us and be responsible for us in the truck.

Of course, of course. Please go ahead.

I speak on behalf of members of the Muslim Brotherhood in the truck.

Do any of the supporters have objection if I speak on your behalf as well?

Please go ahead of course God give you victory.

The first thing I request of our supporters is to flip the band to the red side, so that we are able to tell the difference between brothers and supporters.

God bless you all.

The second thing so that today goes smoothy - things have to be organised.

- We're following you anyway that's organisation! - Don't be rude! - Respect yourself!

So what is it you want?

You go to one side and we go to the other. So we can make problems less likely.

We don't want to talk to you in the first place. No talk!

Ok no talk at all. And get that man with the razor to throw it away.

- Here's the razor. Whoever wants it can come take it. - Shut him up, brothers!

Hey, none of us can be controlled with a remote control like you lot.

- Speak politely please. - You're the one who's impolite.

- He says remote control. - He's right.

Enough.

This idea of dividing people is quite strange to be honest.

Didn't we agree that I would talk on behalf of us all?

No we didn't agree.

These people have assigned me to speak on their behalf. Those who agree are with us. Or are you not with us?

Excuse me do you mind going over to the other side.

Sit down man, sit down!

Soldier! Soldier! This man here is causing us to quarrel!

Soldier we don't want any trouble. We want them far away from us in the first place.

Go back both of you!

Soldier, he's making some moves with his finger.. and there are women here in the truck. It's shameful.

No! He's lying I swear to God!

Stay away from each other!

Keep control of yourselves!

What's up Radwan?

I can't, Haj, I'm tired, I can't.

Sir! Officer sir! Sir!

Go back to your place.

Sir, there's a man here he's desparate and he needs to pass urine, he's dying.

Can't he hold on, he's not a little boy.

- He has diabetes, sir. - As soon as you get caught you become sick.

Is it them? Are these the terrorists you're catching you criminals!

By God you are the criminal.

Don't bad mouth my father!

- Damn your father! - Enough!

You have no manners!

- Are you going to swear at me? - I said, enough!

Go the truck over there. Go!

Quiet please don't cause problems and just go inside.

Never mind we're waiting for the officer.

I'm here by myself. Is this the time for it? Just deal with it.

Let him use this. And calm your daughter down while things settle.

- By God this is shameful. - Put your tongue back in your mouth.

I will be letting her go soon because I have my own children, not because it is shameful.

- And my son? - Here he is.

Your son and wife too, just have some patience while things settle down.

Here you go Radwan..

It's really dirty.

Don't complain come on.

Yes but it's really narrow how am I going to use it?

Here give it to me I'll show you.

Come along.

See, you open up your trousers and then you aim like this.

There you go.

- Mr Omar, I wanted you for something. - Of course.

What can I do for you?

Mr Omar, can the president really return to power?

100% he will return.

But the whole world is against us. How are we going to win?

We don't believe in reasons. We believe in the Lord of reasons.

Trust in God and ignore the devil. Be strong.

What is that?

What are you recording? What is that camera?

This isn't a camera, it's a watch.

Do you have a camera? Do you have a camera?

What camera did you see anybody recording anything?

Do you two have a camera?

That's a camera give it here.

It's just a small camera I use for my work. There's nothing wrong with that.

No cameras!

Break that camera or I'll break it myself.

What camera are you going to break?

Make a chain.

Lieutenant! The Americans have a camera!

Just one minute. This camera can save us all. What's not recorded these todays never happened!

Give the camera, we'll be the ones recording.

The camera will get us into trouble.

Ambulance! Ambulance!

The shooter's up there, above the container.

Where, where?

There he is! Above the container on the left!

There he is!

Officer officer! He's up there!

Be careful! Be careful!

Help us! Move the truck!

Huzaifa! Are you OK son?

- Thanks be to God. Are you OK? - Take care of yourself.

- Are the Brothers all right? - We are OK thanks be to God.

The shooter isn't one of ours, they're trying to frame us.

We know. He must be from the Interior Police.

And him? Is he with the Interior Police?

Is everyone with a beard with the Brotherhood?

Get out the camera.

- Get it out! - None of that shit!

- Somebody stop the truck! - Stop the truck!

Get up! Get up!

Come here.

- Is that my mother? - No.

- Your father? - No.

Take these cuffs off!

Soldier! Where is the officer?

The officer that was here, where did he go? He said he was going to get us out of here. There are children here.

- People help him, he's bleeding from his brains! He'll die! - There's a nurse here.

No! No nurse!

- Thamir, get down. - Why?

Because I am your senior and I said so.

So if they kill us that's OK and if we defend ourselves that's wrong?

Yes my friend you act like you're all together like one big group.

What are you afraid they'll call you terrorists? By God that's an honor you don't deserve.

Thamir! Get down from the window.

Are you the wife of Lieutenant.. rest his soul..

Ambulance! Ambulance!

There's somebody dying here, his blood's flowing.

I don't want to hear a single word from this truckl If I hear a single breath I'll throw in a flash grenade and lock the door!

Turn this truck around. Move all vehicles!

Come on! Get moving!

Move quicker around the windows. We all want some air.

Soldier, take this and get us some water please.

And us. Here.

- Take all the money and just get us one bottle. - You must be thirsty too, get some water for yourselves.

Put your money back in your pocket and get back. We're not your family servants.

And you, don't take anything from anybody!

Hey boss, we're are you from?

Tagamu'.

If you have weddings, circumcisions, occasions I am DJ Mans.

If anyone has any occasions DJ Mans will help out.

- There you are, sir. - Are you famous? - Yes.

DJ what man? You don't have a mixer or any equipment.

You got a belt with lights and some cards, doesn't make you a DJ.

Isn't it better than just sitting at cafes watching soccer?

Supporting el Ahli is an honor.

El Ahli is better than everyone else.

- That was a long time ago. - Zamalek is upcoming. - Upcoming? How?

Soccer means Zamalek.

My dad used to tell me that in the past, soccer in Egypt meant el Ahli.

Your dad's got it, he's a man who knows what he's talking about.

- Come on people not like that! - What?

There's a stink here.

We've smelt a stench since this morning, coming from you. We just haven't said anything.

Come on don't be rude, there are women here.

This isn't something the Brothers should talk about.

So do the Brothers not fart?

Huzaifa!

Father!

My heart hurts for your brother Malik, son.

Don't worry he will be fine by God's will. You sound tired. Try to rest.

How can I rest, son? We are 50 or 60 people standing in this truck.

Inshallah everything will be fine. People, please try to take care of my father. He's very tired, try to keep him comfortable.

Find any place in the truck Haj and try and get comfortable. Inshallah everything will be fine.

God bless you, let's move out!

God bless you sir! Come on!

Where are you going?

- Where are you going? Start the car! - Nagwa.. - Start the car!

Where are you going? Start the car!

- Go back in we'll move when the time comes! - No I won't go in. The people inside are dying!

- What you're doing isn't helping! - Get me someone to talk to. - That won't help!

- It's hot inside! People are dying! - I told you we'll move soon get inside!

- It's really hot. - Get some water quickly! Quickly!

Go back inside madam!

Here Faris, drink.

Please some water.

- Some water here! - Easy, easy.

So? Feeling better?

Yeah.

You'll feel it soon.

Someone has died, help us! Help us people!

Father?

Haj, Haj Hamza! Answer me!

Air, give him some air. Use anything.

We can't breathe!

That's Sameh's voice, your son Tariq's 's friend.

Help us!

Sameh? Sameh!

I'm your uncle Salah! Is my son with you? Did you get arrested together? Answer me!

We can't breathe!

Open the door! Open the door for them! Open the door for them!

- Go back inside.- They're dying in there! - You're an old man. Go back inside!

Sameh!

Boys! Let us know you're OK!

What's that on your back?

Torture?

How old is your son?

17 years old.

Mashallah. My son Talha is older than him, he's at university. What year is your son in?

Second year of high school.

I never saw my son while he was in prep school nor in high school.

Why?

Why do you think? He must have been in prison.

Don't worry. Inshallah God will keep your son safe. And he is in the right.

But my son is not with you.

Not with us? Hah. And I'm not fat.

Sameh! Sameh!

Sameh! Sameh!

There's blood.

A lot?

- Open your mouth. - I'm fine. - Open it. - I'm fine!

Your black day! Your mouth is all cut up.

Have you just started to do this razor thing?

No I've been doing it a while.

- Why do you say you're a grunt? - I am a grunt. - No you're not.

Be quiet. I do this so that people would be intimidated and not threaten me.

So what are you?

I am a cleaner, I wash cars at traffic lights.

So how does someone like you get mixed up with idiots like these people here?

There was a Brotherhood demonstration in the street that I was in, and there were a lot of clashes and my dog died.

Your dog? How did your dog get into a demonstration?

All my life I've lived alone. And I had nobody in the world but him. And he cared for me more than people.

My father, God rest his soul, got him for me. If anything happened to him, I could die.

Rocky. What was your dog's name?

Garbon.

Garbon? He was Garbon?

- Do you want it? - May I?

A'isha. A'isha. Are you OK?

A'isha my daughter, what's wrong?

Do you need to use the toilet?

She needs to use the toilet.

Soldier, soldier.

Yes Haj?

My daughter needs to use the toilet.

- It can't be done Haj. - How? She's a girl, she can't use a container..

We haven't let anyone else go, what can we do?

What do you mean she can't go to the toilet? No, she can. The girl has to go to the toilet.

When the officer returns he'll sort it out.

What do you mean she can't. You're all men here! Don't you have sisters?

It can't happen. Those are the orders!

If you don't go back inside I'll lock the door!

Man you can't do this, it's a girl, shame!

She's going to the toilet means she's going to the toilet!

Why don't you let her go out, what's the harm?

Consider her your own sister.

Come back, Awad!

Come here. Quickly.

- There's also another child here. - You too come on. - God bless you.

- Awais, open the door! - I won't open the door. - I'm telling you open the door! - You can get yourself into trouble but not me!

Awais open the door don't make things worse!

People. Why don't we arrange ourselves over there with our backs to her?

- OK. - Yeah. - How? - It can be done.

- So we make like a curtain then? - Yes, exactly. - Bring her here Nagwa.

Come along, don't worry.

Make a little room.

Did you go?

Come. Bring her.

(chanting) "Islamiyah, Islamiyah!"

What are you doing?

Let's go.

- Where are you going Nagwa you'll get yourself killed! - Let's get out of here!

Come back Nagwa!

Don't worry son it's OK.

Get way from me!

Father! Father!

- Don't leave me alone. - I'll come back to get you.

- Excuse us. - Leave him don't worry we'll take care of him. - Just excuse us. - Give him room to breathe.

We're your brothers, don't worry.

Father! Father!

(chanting) "Retribution by lead!"

You have a broken rib. Don't move.

!990.

Cover your hand.

That soldier is going to die! He's injured!

Soldier! Come over here before you die! This way!

The laser, help him with the laser!

Didn't you have a laser? Tell me!

Here! Here, soldier!

Run, run!

Get to the truck! Get to the truck!

Get down! Get down!

It's gas! Gas, people, gas!

Cover the windows!

Get down from the window. You'll kill us all this way!

- I tried to rouse him but I couldn't. - Zein! Zein!

This America.. what does it look like? Are there lots of tall buidlings?

There are trees everywhere. Greenery and forests.

Do they have a sea like us?

There is no sea. There are oceans, one to the east and one to the west.

Have you seen skyscrapers?

A couple of times.

- And women? - A lot.

If you want to go, how do you get there?

Yeah, how?

- You've forgotten he's American. He doesn't need a visa like us. - Exactly.

So what brought you back to this mess?

When I was little I found that my father would always get mad at the mention of Egypt. He'd say it was a messed up country.

He used to tell me about being tortured during the days of Abdel Nasser. He'd curse the chaos and corruption.

But despite all of that, the last thing he wanted before he died was to be buried here.

And it was done.

- God rest his soul. - Thank you.

- Zein, are you OK? - Yes.

I don't feel too well.

Looks like the new gas affects the brain. Do you need a little help?

The wound needs to be closed. I have to stitch you up.

Try to put up with it.

Do you have any hairpins?

A thousand peace be upon you.

No, you'll dirty the wound like that.

My hair is falling out. How long have I got?

We don't know.

I think that you went bald at about 27 or 28.

The barber has told me there's a cream you put in your hair that stops it falling out.

Who? Saad?

No I go to a different barber.

- A barber from the Brotherhood? - Yes.

Forget it. You'll go bald like me.

- But he says.. - He can say whatever he says.

It's in your blood. Not up to you or up to him.

Gas again?

- Can you see anything? - Don't open the windows.

Give him the phone to call his mother.

Make sure the call is useful.

I'm sure she's sorted something out. It's not out of charge is it?

- It's fine. - OK but hide him.

There.

It's not my fault if it runs out of charge.

Hello mum. We're in the same place.

What do you mean you don't know what to do? Who knows what to do then?

Get him to talk to the minister.

We're going to die here.

That's it give it back.

- Another call please. - No that's it. - Please another call. - No.

Please.

My sister's number?

What are these messages?

- Just give it back to me. - Not yet, Mans.

You won't understand.

You won't understand at all.

What are these messages?

We love each other..

You love each other!

Get off me!

You trying it on with my sister? You messing with my sister?

- Get off me!- Take it easy man!

Say the Tawheed.

Say the Tawheed!

Thank you.

What's this. This isn't my shirt.

That belongs to a really fat person.

Are you saying that I'm fat?

No I didn't mean that..

I'm just messing with you.

You believed me didn't you?

I'm convincing.

- You're a photographer? - What? - A photographer, right?

A photographer, yes.

So, do you photograph people like actors?

I used to in the past. Now I cover events.

I did an audition once.

Where?

It was with Sharif Araf, for his last movie.

- You act? - Yes I do, and I sing too.

The audition was for a singing role. Here I'll show you, you'll like it.

(singing) In your service, Islam, we sacrifice ourselves

(singing) In your service we will make ladders of our skulls

(singing) In your service, in your service, in your service, in your service, in your service, in your service, in your service, in your service..

You sang this skull song at your audition?

No I sang him one of Nancy's songs. But right now the gas has affected my voice box.

Of course.

I think I saw you once before.

They used to call him the tear gas singer.

Enough man don't make fun.

Do you know Rami Osama the guy who sings for the revolution?

- Yeah. - He's my friend.

People used to take him off and get me to sing. They like me.

No it was because you were the one who used to make him laugh the most.

Come on Omar, enough!

So you're the tear gas singer?

You've heard me before?

Once we went to the square and found it empty, so we thought the demonstration was over.

People said to wait for the tear gas singer to go, then everyone will come back.

Those were good days.

(singing) The best feeling in the world is to be madly in love.

(singing) That's how I am with you.

(singing) The best feeling in the world is to be madly in love. That's how I am with you.

(singing) You made me live days full of longing and love. Your love melts me.

(singing) I love you madly.. my soul.. my trapped heart..

I've imposed on you my good man.

May you be restful Haj.

What rest? you must have lost it.

Whether we get out of here or not, there's something I've been wanting to tell you.

My son is with them. I know.

I didn't want to tell you. I was worried about you. You have been good to me.

Who's shirt is this?

Why didn't you carry on acting?

Nobody at Sharif's office would talk to me.

- Mr Moaz? - Yes?

Why did you let them talk about retribution and lead and that sort of thing?

If we didn't contain things there wouldn't be a Brotherhood.

And don't worry, things will go back to normal once we're back in charge of the government.

Do you really think we can get back? It looks impossible. You can see how the whole world is against us.

"God makes strong those who have firm faith, both in this world and the next."

"And God will make the oppressors lose their way.."

".. and He does as He wills."

Almighty God has spoken true.

Hey! Where are you going?

Why are you driving like this?

Drive properly man you've broken our bones!

Hey! I'm a soldier like you!

I'm a soldier. I'm Awais.

Hey! Open the door! Please open the door!

Are you happy now?

I didn't tell you because of my circumstances.

I didn't want to hide it from you.

And now, look, I'm starting a business.

Come on you can't stay like this.

She asked you to come down just to keep an eye on me.

No. Read the next message.

It says that I came today to tell you that I want to marry her.

I'd rather she marry one of those traitors, instead of a low-life kid like you.

I'm Mans. I'm your friend.

My friend?

Take him with you!

He's just like you.

Hey. Give us your address so that we can return the hairpin.

Don't worry, your father will be OK.

What's your name?

I told him let's go to the demonstration. He was against it.

I said that if he didn't come with me then I'd go alone.

He shouldn't have listened to you.

I swear to God it wasn't your fault.

Come on, what's your name?

A'isha.

Ok Aisha, I'll get your phone number so I can check on you later.

It's "A'isha", not "Aisha".

And I'm going to say "Aisha". I don't care about all this old Islamic stuff.

Where are we going?

This isn't the way to the main office.

Who the hell are you?

Damn! It's Malik!

Did you think I'd abandon you or what?

- Malik? Who's this Malik? - He's my brother.

Open the door!

- Huzaifa, are you OK? - Thanks be to God, and you?

Thanks be to God, is the Haj with you?

The Haj is in a different truck. Try to get us out of here.

Do something quickly, get the door open.

Come on, quickly!

- Open it! - Take it easy, people.

You're going to make us fugitives!

Slow down you're going to get us into trouble.

Hey man you're going to get us into real trouble!

Ignore him and get the door open!

He's going to get the door open. Whoever wants to leave should leave.

Quickly before someone finds us!

The ID cards are with me.

- Sharif Abdel Sa.. -Mohammed Hashim.. - Give it here. - Ahmed Hashim not Mohammed..

I can't get it open.

The door is locked with handcuffs.

Look to see if there are keys in the front of the car.

Go around quickly, Malik.

- Did you find them? - Have you found anything?

I can't find anything.

Our people are close to here, call them and they'll help.

I lost my mobile.

We have a phone.

Give us the phone.

- It's out of charge. - He's lying.

Give me the phone and I'll see if it's got any charge.

- Give me the phone! - There is no phone!

That's enough! Just go run and find someone to help. Try the people in the tent over there.

- Radwan Abu Bakr? - Here I am.

- Salah Majdi? - Yes.

The Brotherhood was a phase. It's over. When I get out of here, I'm going to Syria.

Badr? - Yes!

If you want, come with me.

Thank you soldier.

Once we get out of here, you should leave the force.

How can I leave? Conscription isn't voluntary.

- I'd go to jail. - Jail or death?

Only the Creator decides our fates.

We're not trying to scare you, but you're naive. You don't know that you are actually helping the Jews and the Christians.

He's coming back.

- Do you think we're going to get out of here? - Yes dear, by God's will. Hopefully he's found some transportation.

If you take a right at the end of this street, there's a bus stop. Inshallah it will be operating.

The most important thing is to get out of here, even if we have to walk.

Where exactly are we?

It doesn't matter so long as we get out.

- Where will we go? - We'll take your dad to the hospital first then we'll go home.

We're getting out of here!

What's up? I can take you wherever you need to go. Where do you live?

On the street.

It won't come loose.

- You go out with them and I'll catch up with you. - I won't leave you.

- I'll catch up with you, it will be fine.. - You'll die!

- You need to leave because you have the camera. - Not everything is about the camera and the work.

I'm not here because of work, don't you understand?

What you've recorded today can change the lives of a lot of people, if they saw it.

Go..

Go..

- How did it go? - Nobody is answering their phones.

They're all at the demonstrations.

Go to our demonstration. Surely they'll know how to get us out.

No! Not your demonstration.

Don't worry. You are under our protection.

- Are you an idiot? - They'll kill us.

Go to the demonstration!

- What demonstration? Of course not! - Have you gone crazy?

Don't go, you imbecile!

Try reversing the truck into a wall or something. Maybe the door will break open.

Ignore him and carry on, Malik.

If we die then our blood is on your hands.

And why are you afraid? Are you with them or what?

No I'm not but are we supposed to leave them to die?

Nobody will die. It's a peaceful demonstration.

We are not killers.

There's not a demonstration out there that anyone can control.

Let the man back the truck into any wall!

Why don't you let him try?

Why don't you let him try first?

Malik. Wait. Try to hit the back of the truck.

There's no "wait". Carry on Malik!

- Why wait? - Why should he wait?

There are things that you don't understand.

Screw that!

Malik! Follow my orders. I am in charge here.

If you are still a Brother, then follow my orders.

It hasn't opened, Malik!

Do it again, it will open!

Again, Malik! Do it again!

The truck got stuck.

- Rock the truck! - Let's free the truck. Rock the truck! We have to free it!

Come on! Keep going!

Malik! As soon as the truck's free drive off straight away!

- Drive off where? - To our demonstration. No more discussion. The police are coming.

Nonsense! The Brotherhood isn't in charge here!

This truck is going nowhere!

Enough!

What's happening?

If you don't stop the truck we'll kill him!

- Nagwa! What are you doing! - Mum!

Huzaifa!

Get back!

Keep going, Malik!

We won't tell them that you are against us!

If anyone comes close we'll kill him!

Keep going Malik! He'll be a martyr!

Look here, martyr!

They will die if they go to the demonstration.

So they die? So what?

And if we get arrested then they'll kill us!

Enough, enough. Calm down people!

Tell your brother to stop the truck.

Your father has died, Malik.

He died, together with the people he was with, in another truck.

Don't listen to anyone and keep moving!

(praying) I bear witness that there is no god but God. I bear witness that Mohammed is the prophet of God.

- Let him go. It's no use. - In the dirt! He has to die!

It's over. Let it go.

You won't kill him.

Malik, stop. Stop!

Stop, Malik, please.

Mohammed, we won't let anything happen to them.

Leave me alone.

Stop, Malik.

What are you looking at? It's over.

I'm looking for my son, Tariq. He might be among them.

Here, wear this.

So they don't realise that you're a soldier.

Malik! Stop the truck.

Omar!

Nobody will get near them. I swear to God nobody will.

- Malik, stop. - Stop, Malik. - Please stop the truck.

Stop the truck, Malik!

Stop, please!

Please, Malik!

Please stop the truck. People will die I swear.

Is this our demonstration?

Stop the truck.

No! It's their demonstration, not ours!

This demonstration is one of ours!

Stop, Malik!

Stop the truck!

Keep going! Keep going Malik!

Keep going! Malik!

No Nagwa they'll kill us!

This demonstration is ours! (chanting) "Islamiyah Islamiyah!"

- Keep going! - Enough!

Enough! Enough!

If we go to the demonstration now we'll die! Listen to him! He's right!

Listen to him, he's right! Listen to him!

Enough, Radwan, enough!

I swear to God you can't tell who's who.

- (chanting) "Traitors, Traitors!" - It's a Brotherhood demonstration!

- We're with you! - Our Muslim Brothers! We're with you!

We're with you, I swear to God we're with you! (chanting) "Tislam el Ayadi, Tislam el Ayadi!"

Malik! We're with you people! We're Brothers like you! (chanting) "Islamiyah Islamiyah!"

People, we're with you! My brother! Malik!

Leave him alone!

Malik!

Leave him people, we're with you I swear!

(chanting) "Tislam el Ayadi, Tislam el Ayadi!"

Sing! Sing so you live! Sing!

(chanting) "Tislam el Ayadi, Tislam el Ayadi!"

(chanting) "Traitors, Traitors!"

(chanting) "Traitors, Traitors!"
